[00:00] is it the graphics driver problem?how to fix tht screen and install [00:00] RandBrittain: are you using compiz? maybe compiz hangs the system because of GPU load [00:00] help plz :| [00:01] Does anybody know anything about sarg and how to install it? Namely, I am having issues getting the webinterface working for it i.e. viewing reports [00:01] shomon, if you want to completely switch, run sudo apt-get remove lubuntu-desktop I think. [00:01] captainjamie: ok thanks [00:01] p01s0n, have you enabled the restricted drivers? [00:02] i havent enabled or disables anything [00:02] i tried installing thru cd and pendrive.same thing happens [00:02] i tried 'Install' as well as live..still the same thing [00:02] type additional drivers into search please [00:02] in natty anyway [00:03] i'm sorry..i'm new into these stuff :) i didnt understand what u said [00:03] eipi-1: I'm rebooting with the switch off. [00:03] what is the apt-get command to install the server and get rid of the desktop [00:03] Juest: I don't think I have compiz installed. It doesn't look like it. [00:04] p01s0n, start the program called additional drivers. look for it in the application menu. [00:04] Hm, I guess it is installed. Let me look at it. [00:04] let's try this again [00:04] Hm, but turning the desktop down to "no effects" doesn't stop the issue. [00:04] but for that i have to login right.I cant even install or start the ubuntu live.After the ubuntu splash screen it hangs and shows that weird screen..the one like in the image [00:05] FisheDuJour, start tail command first and wait some time after every action. [00:05] tanath, regarding an app that changes your uid, do you know if the gnome user management utility will take care of file ownership permissions? [00:05] right, see. [00:05] Hi all!

[00:06] can you start in safe mode? [00:06] RandBrittain: welll, maybe uninstalling compiz? [00:06] w30, you can choose the old interface on login [00:06] how to do that? [00:06] Oh, here it is: it's a Catalyst issue. No fix for it atm. :( [00:07] p01s0n, isn't it in the grub menu? [00:07] captainjamie, will that get me Compiz without Unity? [00:07] * RandBrittain thanks all present. [00:07] w30, i think so. you'll still have unity but it wont be used... if that makes sense [00:08] captainjamie, ok, thanks [00:08] grub is the bootloader right?for grub to come i have to install ubuntu right?i have windows 7 installed thats it. [00:08] i got this odd message from get.adobe.com/flashplayer. when i selected 10.04 download for 64bitflash player, it prompted for updating maverick sources.list then apt-curl tried to load it, then it said - adobe-plugin was virtual? what can i do now?

I think I;ve had that before [00:09] hi [00:09] eipi-1: Okay, I killed nm-applet. Now what? [00:09] maybe try a live USB made with unetbootin [00:09] if there is anyway to install or start live in safe mode can u suggest that.Someway to start it without using the graphic card,I guesss its my nvidia GTS 360m that is causing the problem [00:09] auk, sorry, went afk. i think there is one that does, but it's been a while [00:10] i havent tried live usb with unetbootin but i tried with universal usb installer and linux creator.Both doesnt help [00:10] auk, it was a gnome app though, yes [00:10] tanath:what other linux system have u used besides ubuntu [00:10] FisheDuJour, start wicd from console [00:10] hmm... and a live dvd doesn't work either? [00:10] i have the image burned to cd.Tried and doesnt work [00:11] tanath, from googling it seems the default user admin app won't do that [00:11] gosh, I really don't know. [00:11] can someone direct me to a channel for ubuntu server? [00:11] eipi-1: I'm rebooting with the switch off. [00:11] thought it was corrupt download but the md5 hash is same and even then i tried force rechecking in utorrent.Its the same [00:11] Ignore that please [00:11] :( its ok thank anyways captainjamie [00:11] tanath, in any case, any idea if changing the ownership of all a user's files *while logged in to a desktop environment* will cause problems? [00:11] PL4Y3R, debian, suse, knoppix and some variants, a couple distros that i don't think exist anymore... pinguy... i don't recall all of them [00:11] I'm sorry I'm not more help.

[00:13] PL4Y3R, possibly. can't say from experience [00:13] That's nearly the same... [00:13] tanath, is crash all? i'm fine as long as there is no file damage... "single user mode"? (i shall look up) [00:13] if you find out the solution or if u know someone that does please let me know of it throught ubuntu forum ok.here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1762626 [00:13] ok then i'll try that :) thanks [00:13] ok, good night! [00:13] auk, well some apps may need config changes. i can't really speak about probs resulting from encrypted partitions specifically [00:14] eipi-1: Having trouble with phone. [00:14] auk, single user mode is what you get when you choose 'recovery' mode at grub [00:14] auk, boot to root prompt [00:14] auk: or get into it by typing sudo init 1 [00:15] yo [00:15] Tanath:right now i have a old old old linux on it.right now on my imac G5 with the new new new linux lol [00:15] FisheDuJour, thought so [00:16] what about a lan connection for your computer, maybe? [00:16] PL4Y3R, G5 is pretty old, IIRC. but even current linux should be able to handle old system requirements. you'll just want to use a lightweight environment [00:16] the g5 itsnt tht old [00:17] FisheDuJour, what about a lan connection for your computer. possible? [00:17] Is there a way to access a terminal from grub? [00:17] PL4Y3R, lxde is fairly popular. fluxbox, blackbox, etc., are even more lightweight. might want to have a look at icewm [00:17] Tanath:g5 isnt that old the g4 is old and the g3 is even older [00:17] PL4Y3R, been a while since i looked at mac models too :P [00:18] PL4Y3R, last time i looked at a G-anything was years ago [00:18] yea the g5 is the newer up to date [00:18] mmk [00:19] my ubuntu is hanging at boot with CFIS mount error 113, I cannot get into it, can anyone help me?

In what file is the custom banshee metadata I have stored? [00:33] r0fs3ck5, i downloaded and use the mac os driver from an australia site although i bought in canada to make it work under 8.04 [00:33] i like unity.... ;) [00:33] @Alotesnivek did you restart? [00:34] Yes, many times. [00:34] r0fs3ck5, but after upgrade to 10.04, printer not working [00:34] @Alotesnivek did you try using the mic on the system outside of skype? [00:34] eipi-1: Any luck yet? [00:34] yes, still nothing. [00:34] ubuntuCEO: I tried the linux drivers off the canon site, but they seem to have issues on 64 bit 10.04 [00:34] How do I get root access to my internal HDD from the Live CD? I can't just go gksudo gedit /etc/[insert file name here], it opens the files on the live system. [00:35] eipi-1: how do I find out where grub is intalled. I ran update-grub and get Cannot find list of partitions! (Try mounting /sys.) [00:36] eipi-1: I think I figured it out [00:36] @Alotesnivek and your soundcard works fine, you can hear sound? [00:36] Yes, I can hear sound just fine. [00:36] is there a hotkey to switch the screen (by default you get 4) in unity?

I suppose they it was the last of a canned series. [00:38] mattk, you could also first test it by editing the line temporarily: start grub press 'e' on boot menu entry and add 'text' to options [00:39] @Alotsnivek [00:39] can you check to see if its muted [00:39] or works in another program? [00:39] Yeah, it's not muted. [00:39] new2net: ctrl+alt+up down left or right [00:39] what tells you its not muted [00:39] skype? [00:40] Yeah skype says it's fine. But now it's not even registering that it's plugged in. [00:41] trism: awesome ^_^ thanks [00:42] you need to reset the driver [00:42] ubuntuCEO: oh look. found it.

[00:43] hello [00:43] Can someone explain to me what Unity is? All the descriptions on the site are a bit vague. [00:43] arecord -l [00:43] ubuntuCEO: I managed to find it on the australian site. [00:43] do you see your mic? [00:44] Nope. [00:44] eipi-1: How would I do that? I can't see anything except for a terminal when I ctrl-alt-F2 [00:44] eipi-1: it's a handy i386deb.tar.gz too [00:44] r0fs3ck5, so australia site again? so they assume only australian uses linux? WTF? [00:44] SegFaultAX from my understanding, it is sorta like a dock [00:44] ubuntuCEO: well, australians like linux.

[00:46] losty: I see the launcher, it looks like a rip off of Avant. [00:46] SegFaultAX im not sure, i think possibly, as from what i gather, its to replace gnome 3, unless im totally reading it wrong! [00:46] arecord -N [00:46] FisheDuJour, in wicd-client you entered your passphrase and tried to connect? [00:46] r0fs3ck5, sorry? [00:46] losty: So it's yet another desktop environment entirely?

[00:48] you see the devise and volume? [00:48] SegFaultAX, unity 3d uses compiz and unity uses metacity [00:48] I'm in Firefox on Ubuntu, and I'm trying to hit a website that requires DotNet. How do you install those plugins for Firefox? [00:48] !dotnet [00:48] !mono [00:48] !firefox [00:48] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[00:50] r0fs3ck5, yes i am running i386 [00:50] HelloWorld321, dotNet is for Windows [00:50] eipi-1: I think it's just fudged because ctrl-alt-F1 isn't displaying anything [00:50] r0fs3ck5, 32 bit ubuntu 10.04 [00:50] robin0800: Can it be installed alongside gnome/kde/xfce/etc.? [00:50] but I don't think you require dotNet for viewing a site? [00:50] this is the first time, im majorly using it, not sure if i should go back to 10.4 [00:50] losty: So it's default now on Ubuntu is it? [00:50] FisheDuJour, or better try with 'sudo iwlist scan' [00:51] SegFaultAX, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/ [00:51] from a podcast at the guys from jupiter, it seems so [00:51] r0fs3ck5, never mind [00:51] r0fs3ck5, i have Canon MP210 all in one crap [00:51] eipi-1: :) [00:51] mattk, strange. but you have terminal on F2? [00:51] ubuntuCEO: yes, I can't find the driver for that on the canon site [00:51] yeah but only when I'm using the liveusb [00:52] r0fs3ck5: you could try a driver for a similar model. [00:52] eipi-1: only when I use the liveusb [00:52] is there anyone that just even read me? pls ^^ [00:52] ubuntuCEO: you could try a driver for a similar model. [00:52] HelloWorld321: Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal -- sudo apt-get update -- sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:52] robin0800: Ah, so it's basically just a crap ton of extensions and customizations that run on top of gnome. [00:52] r0fs3ck5, should i try the driver for osx?? [00:52] robin0800: Like a highly customized gnome environment almost. [00:52] SegFaultAX, yes [00:52] tx Scott ... trying .... [00:52] losty, something wrong with 10.10? [00:52] r0fs3ck5, i think if i remember (3yrs ago) it works [00:53] robin0800: Thanks mate. Appreciate your guidance.

[01:04] losty, ive found that reinstalling gstreamer fixes my webcam [01:04] the australia page : http://support-au.canon.com.au/EN/search?v%3aproject=ABS-EN&binning-state=model%3d%3dPIXMA%20MP210%0Amenu%3d%3dDownload%0Aos%3d%3dLinux& PAGE NOT FOUND ! [01:04] No, my mic is not muted. [01:04] When i open up ubuntu 11.04 i log in, and it shows blank except the background and mouse. using wubi on windows 7 [01:04] eipi-1: yeah. I can see the ubuntu load screen too. When it happened I almost crapped my pants. I don't know what's wrong with it. [01:04] i have question: why can't they make WINE to run 100% to run pc softwares? [01:04] yea tried it, thats where i got cheese from [01:04] is that complicated? [01:05] losty, http://community.linuxmint.com/hardware/view/39 [01:05] eipi-1: Here's the tail/wicd output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616226/ [01:05] mattk, what version of ubuntu is that liveusb? natty? 32/64bit? desktop/server/alternate? [01:05] hello.. is anyone here using lxde ? [01:06] why would you want to run every windows program in linux, kind of defeats the purpose of running linux. [01:06] i don't think you answered my question... can you get the mic to work outside of skype? [01:06] jamiewan thanks, umm.. how do i reinstall gstreamer? (sorry, still a complete noob) [01:06] No, I cannot get the mic to work on anything. [01:06] Alotesnivek, what kind of mic? [01:06] tanath i tried those drivers, it installed, but cheese wont pick up.. :( [01:06] not sure if its for mint only [01:07] eipi-1: natty 32 desktop [01:07] but looked to be working for debian [01:07] Andrea - anti-noise NC-95 [01:07] losty, nah, mint is based on ubuntu [01:07] IIRC [01:07] Phong_, because Steve Ballmer won't tell the wine people how so they have to figure it out on their own [01:07] losty, try thru synaptic package manager and type gstreamer into search bar [01:07] Alotesnivek, sorry, I should have been more specifc. USB? [01:07] I am trying to figure out how to troubleshoot a borked grub .97 on 9.04 that just hangs at the Grub loading, please wait screen. Its a VM disk and has only 2 partitions and they are in the correct order. Tried using a live CD to chroot to upgrade it to grub 2 (grub-pc) but that hangs on Generating Core.img. I am running out of ideas [01:07] see if its installed [01:07] No, Audio jack. Sorry. [01:07] thanks jamiewan il give that a shot [01:07] hey, can anyone help me, im trying to setup hamachin but im getting "dpkg: error processing logmein-hamachi (--install): [01:07] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [01:07] Processing triggers for ureadahead ... [01:07] Errors were encountered while processing: [01:07] logmein-hamachi [01:07] yassine_hell_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:08] Firefishe, sounds pretty succsessful :/ [01:08] !pastebin | yassine_hell_ [01:08] yassine_hell_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:08] jamiewan, apparently the cam isn't even seen [01:08] oh [01:08] is it built in or usb? [01:08] its built in [01:08] Alotesnivek, are exernal speakers working? [01:08] Not sure if this is a good place to ask grub questions [01:08] losty, what type computer [01:09] When i open up ubuntu 11.04 and log in, it shows blank except the background and mouse. using wubi on windows 7 [01:09] Yes, they work fine. Even the speakers on the mic headset work fine. Just the mic doesnt work. [01:09] im using a sony laptop VGN SZ5MN model [01:09] anyone? [01:09] mattk, theres somthing called chroot to change grub settings on another install, but i'm no expert in that. [01:09] eipi-1: 'fraid not. When I brought it up, it killed nm-applet, but it still showed the connection. I disconnected it, then tried to reconnect using wicd-client. No dice. Guess nm-applet's the bomb for now. [01:09] Alotesnivek, sounds like your mic is muted to me. [01:09] eipi-1, yah, I have been down that path without any luck [01:10] eipi-1: yeah I did that. Where is the menu.list located or does grub not work that way anymore? [01:10] Well I don't have it muted on anything. Nor is it showing up any longer within the audio preferences. [01:10] * sabiancrash_cgx didn't notice there was two grub conversations going [01:11] mattk, you having grub issues as well? [01:11] not really but I want to change the default to xp [01:11] torsthaldo, [01:12] ahh, piece of cake [01:12] Sorry, didn't mean to say that [01:12] mattk, grub2 is not working with menu.lst anymore. it generates a grub.cfg that should not be changed. its configured over /etc/default/grub [01:13] eipi-1: so how do I change the list of OS's? [01:13] in skype under options [01:13] what driver does it say is the input? [01:13] losty, whats the output from lspci look for webcam there, pastebin the output [01:13] Under skype, it just says that i'm using pulse audio, and to refer to it's options. [01:13] I've got some issues with my graphics driver on my laptop [01:14] losty, sorry dmesg not lspci [01:14] it's an nvidia card. It won't resume from suspend, and in a console/vim it will frequently fail to update tiles of the screen [01:14] Firefishe, there is an option to remove network-manager, to make sure it makes no trouble with wicd, but it may result in no working nm and you had to manually configure wpa_supplicant, which is a pain :/ [01:14] haven't ever seen that error anywhere but in a gnome-terminal [01:14] jamiewan sorry to be a pain, whats the command i type into terminal? [01:14] I'm pretty confused [01:14] losty, dmesg [01:14] and look for an entry for your camera [01:15] ubuntuCEO: there are the instructions from that fb link http://paste.ubuntu.com/616231/ [01:15] mattk, did you check out this : http://www.joewein.net/blog/2009/11/28/fix-windows-as-default-boot-on-ubuntu-9-10-with-grub2-loader/ [01:15] Alotesnivek, which version of ubuntu are you running? [01:15] thanks jamiewan doing now [01:15] Klown, Natty, 11.04 [01:15] ok what is pulse audio? [01:15] do you know? [01:16] mattk, well thats another place (i dont like that new configuration of grub2) but there is still the problem that the final update grub only works for the actual installation. mom [01:16] losty, there will be lots of stuff but look it over and try find your camera there [01:16] Pulse Audio is the audio controller that comes with natty, as far as i know. [01:16] eipi-1: Yes, I've heard of that. I'm going to stick with nm-applet, continue to suppress kde's own nm, and use the underlying gnome connection scheme. I'm hoping future releases will deal with this. Future kernel release may deal with this issue, although I'll probably have another computer by then. [01:16] Does Natty periodically search for wireless networks while it's connected to one? I seem to be having lag spikes that suggest something like that is hapening [01:16] happening [01:16] do you want to fix it or remove it? [01:17] eipi-1: I'll check that out [01:17] exit [01:17] are you asking me or someone else b3gott3n? [01:17] I would prefer to fix it, without pulse audio, i would have no sound at all. [01:17] jadams, I had problems like that when using compiz; I ran compiz --indirect-rendering and that fixed it. you can do that by editing your start compiz configuration or use Fusion Compiz options [01:17] ahh, there is a grub channel, I will attempt to ask my question there [01:18] you'd still have sound [01:18] Firefishe, didn't you say u have Lucid with some .32 kernel? maybe give mainline kernel or natty a shot. for example try some natty live system booting with turned off KS? [01:18] its buggy though [01:18] w30, I'm using gnome-shell but perhaps something similar can happen there [01:18] http://www.jeffsplace.net/node/12 [01:18] rtfm [01:18] see what you think [01:18] Alotesnivek: what is your sound device? [01:18] eipi-1: That sounds like a good deal. I'll give it a go in the near future. [01:19] Intekl, HD audio controller? [01:19] Intel * [01:19] Firefishe, wish you luck [01:19] eipi-1: I appreciate the fun today. I'm gonna head out and play around the net for a while. :) [01:19] Alotesnivek: should be supported. [01:19] eipi-1: Thanks, I appreciate it. [01:19] later [01:19] jadams, are you using Unity? [01:19] bye for now [01:20] I assume, everything was working fine, then it stopped. I don't know.... Just rather annoying. [01:20] jamiewan ive checked the output, cant seem to locate cam [01:20] Alotesnivek: what model headset do you have? [01:20] w30, no, I'm using gnome-shell / gnome3 [01:20] can anyone help me with installing a progrm? [01:20] yassine_hell_: yeah [01:20] its showing most of the other devices but not that, is there something in particular to look for jamiewan? [01:20] what are you trying to install [01:20] Andrea, Anti-Noise NC-95 [01:20] edbian hi :) , im trying to install hamachi [01:20] Does Natty automatically check for new wireless networks while it's connected to one and can I turn it off? [01:21] jadams, all right I gotsha now *smile* [01:21] yassine_hell_: link please? [01:21] Alotesnivek: and your recording device does not show up in pulse-audio configuration? [01:21] there's some pretty good guide online for that even logmein's website has a decent how to [01:21] edbian http://paste.ubuntu.com/616235/ [01:21] mattk, you still have that website i posted in the first place? go to your install partition in /etc/default/grub (from your liveusb) and change that line (named on the page) [01:21] edbian and to download the file : https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/ [01:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/616234/ jamiewan thats the pastebin if its helps [01:21] Nope, it sure doesnt. [01:22] losty, try this in terminal dmesg | grep -i uvc [01:22] Alotesnivek: nothing at all under the 'input' tab? [01:22] looking more precisely that way [01:22] Nope, nothing. [01:22] want to see uvc video somewhere [01:22] eipi-1: I'm not sure what line I should use though since I can't see grub at the beginning [01:22] ok, will [01:22] will do* [01:22] Which is odd because before it showed an internal mic (which doesnt work anyways) as well as my external mic. Now nothing. [01:22] is there a better place to ask about wireless natty behavior? [01:22] jadams, my problem had to do with the advanced Nvidia 3d features and nothing to do with your case it seems, shrug. [01:23] I'm having trouble booting into ubuntu -- is anyone willing to check out a few pictures I took of the screen (once I get them uploaded) [01:23] yassine_hell_: k hang on [01:23] hmm... in the middle of running `aptitude safe-upgrade` & it was attempting to stop bind9 & then i get the message "rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused" :( [01:23] its pulse audio [01:23] edbian take your time [01:23] yassine_hell_: Did you grab the .deb ?? [01:23] yassine_hell_: 32 vs. 64 bit ? [01:23] So drop pulse and install something else? [01:24] it found something i think.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/616236/ thats the copy jamiewan [01:24] pteague, are you sure that your bind daemon was running beforehand? [01:24] Alotesnivek: that would not be wise [01:24] jawnah, no idea, but it's not continuing past that in the `aptitude safe-upgrade` [01:24] Any idea's on what to intsall [01:25] try to start bind and see if it starts up [01:25] hey guys anybody here having problems with ati proprietary drivers and compiz? [01:25] yassine_hell_: You there? [01:25] Alotesnivek: sudo apt-get install padevchooser [01:25] yassine_hell_ : Not sure what they are referring to but thought I would point out that it says "Please make sure you have the LSB 3.0 (or above) package installed prior to attempt installing the product." [01:25] edbian yea [01:25] b3gott3n, try alsamixer in a terminal pulse audio is built on top of this [01:25] So Ubuntu (Lucid) keeps trying to remove my network-manager. Anyone have any idea why that is? [01:25] edbian i got the .deb file 32 [01:25] yassine_hell_: You have 32 bit machine right [01:25] ? [01:26] edbian yep [01:26] sabiancrash_cgx so i should download this LSB 3.0 ? [01:26] ok so its picking up your camera, i'd say its a driver issue, probably go to sony site, punch in computer details or google it adding ubuntu to see if any drivers about for it [01:26] yassine_hell_: These are really easy to install. You can double click it or you can sudo dpkg -i /path/to/it [01:26] Getting that now. [01:26] yassine_hell_: I think you already have LSB 3.0 but if you double click it the installer will tell you. (gdebi is the installer) [01:26] I've been trying to reformat my ipod, but when attempting to do so via gparted I get the following: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error" [01:26] yassine_hell_: According to their docs, yes, and according to your dpgk output, there are dependencies problems, maybe because of the mssing LSB 3.0 [01:27] edbian i already did that [01:27] I've been having issues with windows and linux reading the drive ever since I tried to upgrade the ipod [01:27] yassine_hell_: What does the installer say? What packages are missing? [01:27] Hi guys [01:27] edbian this what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/616235/ [01:27] aslamixer is showing his mic [01:27] yassine_hell_: reading... [01:27] i think the bug is in pulseaudio [01:27] ok [01:27] can anyone suggest an application i can use to find and download books? (frostwire, transmission, etc) [01:27] can anyone please help me? My window has no boarders (so no title, no minimize, maximise, close buttons) I have CCSM btw. [01:27] yassine_hell_: clear as day ---> Package lsb-core is not installed. [01:27] leigh: Download books illegally or? [01:27] How can I assign a user to a specific desktop? [01:27] yassine_hell_: sudo apt-get install lsb-core [01:28] jawnah, ok, bind9 seemed to start up ok, but the aptitude process still isn't doing anything... debating ^c & restarting aptitude update, but not sure if that might break any install scripts [01:28] ziikutv, glitch log out and back in prob fix it [01:28] yes? [01:28] leigh: sounds like you've already got a few [01:28] lacus: ? Each user has their own set of desktops. They do not share them to begin with [01:28] * sabiancrash_cgx wishes he had simple questions [01:28] I use an XMonad/Gnome hybrid, but I want my guest account to just use the default gnome [01:28] not yet [01:28] pteague, so the process is actively hung? [01:28] b3gott3n, try pulse audio volume control pavcontrol [01:28] i saw some oldies id like to find [01:28] robin0800: its not me its for Alot [01:29] jaimewan: Tried it. i was able to fix till here... but before there was no taskbar and no launcher.. only desktop.. i fixed and got everything back except the window border any help? [01:29] he quit [01:29] Does anyone have a recommend for a terminal text web browser? [01:29] b3gott3n: w3m [01:29] i hear emacs one is outdated [01:29] W3m? cool [01:29] edbian http://paste.ubuntu.com/616240/ [01:29] lynx? [01:29] lacus: Are you using gdm ? [01:29] edbian i should add that -f? [01:29] ziikutv, its happened to me lots and the log out always fixed it for me, sooo na i dunno,maybe restart [01:29] jawnah, htop is reporting 0.0% cpu & 2.1% mem & i've not yet returned to a shell prompt [01:29] thanks jamiewan i found some windows drivers for it, but not sure how to install, also tanath had found some working for mint, which i had tried, with no luck [01:30] no ideas? :) [01:30] vimperator is awesome but if your really ncurses only then lynx === jinky is now known as jink === oxodesign_ is now known as oxodesign [01:30] anybody knows how to solve issues related to ati proprietary driver and compiz? [01:30] jamiewan: I did it so many times lol [01:30] edbian: nah, that's installed [01:30] Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help me if out if it's not too much trouble. It seems my updates are trying to remove my network-manager, but without it I can't get online. Anyone know how to fix this? [01:30] pteague, I'm not sure then... the last thing from aptitude was that message about the bind9 connection refused from rndc? [01:30] il keep trying and thank you so much for your time today jamiewan and also tanath - very patient!! thank you! [01:30] leigh: Just download via browser why do you need transmission (btw if you torrent, just use transmission) [01:30] w3m vs lynx? [01:30] yassine_hell_: Do you have a broken package lying around? It recommends we run sudo apt-get -f install I recommend you follow its recommendation [01:31] edbian i guess its the hamachi package , i tried -f same thing [01:31] download via browser? i dont understand [01:31] exit [01:31] lacus: mmm, it keeps track of the last session each user logged in with. That would be an easy way. I don't know of a way to control what DE a user uses (or why you'd care to really) [01:31] edbian: I see the option to choose a session, but I want to force the session [01:31] hi im trying to use gtlck 0.4.2 but it keeps on saying i need a sound device what does this mean [01:32] edbian: I want to force it to make a user friendly account so that when someone steals my laptop, they will use it easily. (honeypot) [01:32] jawnah, yep [01:32] lacus: MMm, IDK. autologin ? [01:32] pteague, :/ I don't want to recommend stopping the process, but I suspect that it is hung and may not continue on its own. [01:32] yeah, it's just not defaulting to the right session. [01:32] pteague, has it actually started upgrades of packages or did it just stop in a pre-configuration stage? [01:32] I'm going to test that autologin though. thanks [01:32] yassine_hell_: just sudo apt-get -f install that's it. It fixes broken packages. Installing lsb-core should work [01:33] lacus: OH, strange. IDK [01:33] lacus: Never had that problem! :P [01:33] I've been trying to reformat my ipod, but when attempting to do so via gparted I get the following: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error" [01:33] edbian ah ok [01:33] I've been having issues with windows and linux reading the drive ever since I tried to upgrade the ipod [01:33] yassine_hell_: What does it output? [01:33] hi im trying to use gtlck 0.4.2 but it keeps on saying i need a sound device what does this mean [01:33] edbian its installing many stuff now [01:33] edbian lsb stuff [01:33] yassine_hell_: You had broken packages [01:34] jawnah, already configured a bunch of things... new kernel, libpam, apt-utils, libisc60, libdns64, libbind9-60, etc [01:34] edbian i guess :s [01:34] yassine_hell_: oh good. Wanna pastebin it? You're fast with pastebin [01:34] xD [01:34] pteague, ew ;/ === troy_ is now known as troy- [01:34] pteague, I think someone a little bit more experienced might need to assist you. [01:34] k [01:34] edbian http://paste.ubuntu.com/616242/ [01:34] how can i figure out the last time apt-get update ran? [01:34] yassine_hell_: so far so good [01:35] troy-, run update manager it should teell you when last run [01:35] edbian ok what now [01:35] no love in #grub [01:35] edbian i run that deb file?

[01:37] yassine_hell_: Looks good. Can you run it? Does it show up in the menu ? [01:37] Has anybody used zoneminder? Having some issues with an IP camera... [01:37] edbian thats the problem, cant find it [01:37] sabiancrash_cgx: Not that I can help but. What is the issue? [01:37] yassine_hell_: run logmein-hamachi (just a guess at the name) [01:38] could someone help please im trying to use gtlck 0.4.2 but it keeps on saying i need a sound device what does this mean [01:38] hey everyone [01:38] can someone take a look at this grub entry and see if it is sane? I'm not sure what the "msdos" stuff is, and why it says "ext2" when the partition is ext4. The partition will not boot up, by the way. http://imgur.com/XTcQD [01:38] just wondering, what's the influence on removing ubuntu-desktop?

[01:41] edbian: I have checked the partition priority, I have reinstalled grub, and have even tried upgrading to grub 2 [01:41] guys, what is the real influence of removing ubuntu-desktop? Does anyone know? [01:41] jamiewan tanath im not sure if its because im using kernal 2.6.39 and the drivers were for 2.6.30 http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html [01:41] losty, that could do it [01:41] Slugma: none, is a metapackage [01:41] slugma none [01:41] Slugma: it will prevent you from upgrading ubuntu to next release if removed [01:41] whats the terminal command to logout [01:41] yassine_hell_: You have a readme in /opt/logmein-hamachi/ [01:42] RevSpecies116, that's what I though. but I can get it again later, no? [01:42] sabiancrash_cgx: Re-installed grub how? [01:42] edbian: when I attempt to upgrade to grub2 in a chroot from a livecd it hangs using 100% cpu on Generating core.img [01:42] yeah [01:42] tanath, is there a safe way of going back to kernal 2.6.30 from .39? [01:42] possibly, Slugma [01:42] sabiancrash_cgx: I think the HDD is dying [01:42] Slugma: ys [01:42] sabiancrash_cgx: That's my guess [01:42] edbian: its a vm [01:42] losty, install it, and choose it from grub when booting [01:42] more than that RevSpecies116, we have troubles with desktop [01:42] virtualbox [01:42] sabiancrash_cgx: mmmmm [01:42] slugma none [01:43] could someone help please im trying to use gtlck 0.4.2 but it keeps on saying i need a sound device what does this mean [01:43] sabiancrash_cgx: There could still be a hdd error. At the end of the day the VM is on the hdd too [01:43] OKies, yes - apt-get install issues within ubuntu 11.04 from an upgrade from 10.10 [01:43] ok, il give it a twirl, im using wubi, not sure if it will have an affect tanath, thanks [01:43] two are cludging it up - halevt and xcolor... [01:43] the host OS is fine, I don't doubt there could be a bit level error in the vdk but it its all software [01:43] more than that [01:44] sabiancrash_cgx: I don't know. Strange error. Sounds like hardware to me [01:44] and those two are preventing apt-get from installing hicolor-icon-themes [01:44] more than that we have troubles with desktop-file-utils [01:44] when we tired to inst synaptics+ [01:44] edbian, I could move the vm to another machine and test [01:44] yeah, it was uninstalled [01:44] ... [01:45] I cannot do any kind of reformatting or anything of my ipod [01:45] sabiancrash_cgx: yep. You really don't wanna re-install this server. Do you have backups? [01:45] edbian back sorry had a lil aMsn problem, thx for the help ima go read the ReadMe ^^ [01:45] yassine_hell_: Did you find it? [01:45] ummm [01:45] edbian yep [01:45] I've been trying to reformat my ipod, but when attempting to do so via gparted I get the following: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error" [01:45] I cannot do any kind of reformatting or anything of my ipod [01:46] but hopes are near 0 as I think the issue lies inside the vdk. I have backups but they all are experiencing this problem, I am trying to look for one farther back as the ones I have are recent [01:46] Is there a way of resolving why halevt and xcolor are blocking further apt-get installs? [01:46] edbian "hamachi login" to loging [01:46] yassine_hell_: Good :) [01:46] edbian thx :D [01:46] sabiancrash_cgx: Sorry to hear that :( Good luck! [01:46] yassine_hell_: sure [01:46] could someone help please im trying to use gtlck 0.4.2 but it keeps on saying i need a sound device what does this mean [01:46] could someone help please im trying to use gtlck 0.4.2 but it keeps on saying i need a sound device what does this mean [01:47] and is there a way to fix every apt-get try to install? [01:47] Juest: sudo apt-get -f install [01:47] billy21, assuming you already googled the error [01:47] Juest: fixes broken packages [01:47] yep [01:47] did you pastebin your output [01:47] edbian: and which packages do we find out are broken [01:48] Is there a way to call gnu screen, passing it a program to start immediately? [01:48] yeah, i think i get nothing [01:48] RevSpecies116: sudo apt-get -f install attempts to fix all packages and get the package manager back to a working state. You don't have to know [01:48] what is it .gvfs under user home directory ? [01:48] Juest: You get nothing? What do you mean? [01:49] Juest: four 0's ? upgraded, installed, remove, not upgraded [01:49] Evanescence: google... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS [01:49] sabiancrash_cgx: thanks [01:50] I still don't understand how in 2011 people still fail to perform a basic internet search before asking questions [01:51] ahhh, okies, edbian [01:51] is 744 a good chmod for a public directory on the internet? [01:51] RevSpecies116: :) [01:51] hello guys I want to install ubuntu on my dell xps, but they haven't partitioned the system and only 1 drive is available, how to install ubuntu along side windows in the same partition without affecting windows? thanks in advance [01:51] sabiancrash_cgx: because we are used to ask, some habit in society is changed and affecting us [01:52] trans: There are two ways to install alongside. The first is wubi (which does not repartition) and is a bit of a hack. The second is a proper install. You do partition, you do not affect windows. [01:52] trans: Both can be achieved by downloading and using the live CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [01:52] You're probably right, but I think www.LMGTFY.com really needs to get more traffic [01:53] aloha [01:53] hi [01:53] :D [01:54] edbian : I saw an option install along side with windows but was afraid I loose the data so quit the installation, I don't want to install with wubi, "install alongside windows" means will it install without affecting the rest of the system? [01:54] im trying to install diablo 2 in wine and having trouble. would anyone help me? [01:54] do someone should help me with ubuntu10.10 canon pixima mp160 and scanners problem? [01:54] 1 [01:54] 2 [01:54] 3 [01:54] lol i see im not the only one in here for tech support :P [01:54] trans: install alongside means it will install without affecting the rest of the system. Yes. Don't use wubi [01:54] :) [01:54] trans, make a disk image of your drive before to be safe [01:54] OneWave: Everybody is here for that [01:54] 4 [01:54] that way if you fubar the drive, you can restore [01:55] trans, the only Windows thing to do is run defrag in windows to move all the Windows files to one area. [01:55] * edbian can I have a little more [01:55] please ... i'm goin crazy with the scangear :P [01:55] sabiancrash_cgx: its new system, just don't wanna break it so early [01:55] im on kubuntu can i ask away in here anyway? [01:55] trans, hence the disk image [01:55] so I insert the Install disk, CD to it in the terminal and run " wine /media/INSTALL/setup.exe"... it runs but keeps asking me to insert the install disk which is already inserted [01:56] fester77: yes [01:56] if you break it, a restore is just a few mins away [01:56] OneWave: whoa, what? [01:56] im trying to install diablo 2 in wine [01:56] trans use clonezilla and an external drive [01:56] w30 : wouldn't the ubuntu installer do that automatically [01:56] that way you can learn in peace [01:56] OneWave: oh, hahahaha I was just talking to someone else how to install Ubuntu [01:57] hehe [01:57] OneWave: You should ask in #winehq most likely [01:57] trans, the other option is to use ubuntu in a virtualbox VM [01:57] sabiancrash_cgx: thanks for the information [01:57] For some reason I am downloading at insanely slow speeds. [01:57] trans: It does make a backup for you. No [01:57] trans, I don't think so [01:57] thanks edbian [01:57] OneWave: sure [01:57] hey [01:57] how r u [01:57] all [01:57] I've been trying to reformat my ipod, but when attempting to do so via gparted I get the following: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error" [01:57] sabiancrash_cgx: I don't want to start OS twice, so want to dual boot [01:58] hey [01:58] ferlegend: better than someone who sucks farts out of a cyclops [01:58] ummm, edbian: we are getting same cludgiing packages [01:58] I'm use trisquel [01:58] w30 : thanks for the info [01:58] im an irc nub... how do i change to #winehq channel? [01:58] edbian: still having an error with apt-get even with -f command [01:58] then I would recommend using clonezilla to make a clone of your existing drive, then run the nice little ubuntu installer and let it walk you through the process or use use gparted to manually set up your partitions [01:59] edbian : thanks buddy for ur help [01:59] Juest: RevSpecies116 Are you two together? [01:59] trans: sure [01:59] trans, rule of thumb is to use the respective operating system file tools on it's own files where possible and that means Mac, Linux, Windows, whatever [01:59] I seem to remember the ubuntu installer actually doing a pretty good job walking you through resizing your ntfs partition [01:59] I'm use trisquel [01:59] do you know trsiquel ?? [01:59] yes edbian, he's helping me with vnc [01:59] w30 : yeah got it [02:00] what is the number equivalent to chmod drwxr-xr-x [02:00] OneWave: /j #winhq === HammerTiem is now known as DavidDavidson|Of === DavidDavidson|Of is now known as HammerTiem [02:00] * Juest slaps RevSpecies116 around a bit with a large trout [02:00] Juest: RevSpecies116 Can you pastebin the output of something simple like sudo apt-get install airstrike [02:01] why airstrike? [02:01] hello package [02:01] why is aristrike? [02:01] i will post a pic [02:01] what is airstriack?? [02:01] because is on a vm [02:01] Juest: just a random package [02:01] Juest: you send none will work right? [02:01] lol [02:01] ? [02:01] ?? [02:02] Juest: The issue is what. No packages will install? [02:02] no, they fail to configure [02:02] but some packages succed [02:02] Juest: Can you give me an example of one that failed and one that succeeded? === Michael is now known as Guest72949 [02:04] ok edbian [02:04] I've been trying to reformat my ipod, but when attempting to do so via gparted I get the following: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error" [02:04] better connect to my pc? [02:05] would you prefer to connect via vnc to my pc edbian? [02:05] tlf: I am guessing that your ipod hdd is physically broken. (squeaky wheel gets the grease) [02:05] Juest: I prefer not to actually. I think it's important for you to learn [02:05] i know [02:05] just i say is better to get into vnc [02:05] hmm [02:05] because is way too complex to pastebin and is on a vm [02:05] semitones: 755 [02:05] Juest: no worries :) [02:06] too much text [02:06] Juest: You can copy / paste out of a vm [02:06] well, i got troubles with vbox addons [02:06] and how do i copy console? [02:06] i use gmouse [02:07] edbian... [02:07] Hello, all. [02:07] For some reason I am downloading at insanely slow speeds. Can someone help me? [02:07] worse yet, i am low of battery [02:07] getting low [02:07] Juest: oh sorry. reading [02:07] I think Juest just has problems [02:07] Juest: right click it and hit copy. [02:07] and have [02:07] is on console [02:07] Juest: ctrl + shift + c also works [02:08] I don't even know what you're trying to pastebin to me! [02:08] Name me one package that did install and one that did not [02:08] Just the package names [02:08] I just have one quick question about which version of Ubuntu I should get. [02:09] zer010: either 10.04 (LTS) or 11.04 (current) [02:09] I want to set up an aged desktop to serve as a print server. [02:09] zer010: Probably then 10.04 server (assuming you don't need a gui) [02:10] I don't need a lot of extras, so should I use the server edition or use the ALT for a CLI install. [02:10] zer010: You're building a server. Might as well use server edition. Somebody's gotta use it. [02:10] Lol [02:11] zer010: The ALT with CLI only is probably good too [02:11] The differences are so minor [02:11] I noticed that the server edition has a "server kernel" but it also has so many more options that I doubt I'll need. [02:11] battery finally died for juest [02:12] For some reason I am downloading at insanely slow speeds. Can someone help me? [02:12] zer010, nice thing about server is that is quite modular, less is installed than with the desktop edition [02:12] you install what you need [02:12] hahahah [02:12] whats a good cloud os? [02:12] djmaster2437: ? What do you mean? [02:13] rww: I'm on n4cht's server, trying to make my public_html folder not "forbidden" -- isn't 755 good for that?

[02:13] djmaster2437: I don't know what a cloud operating system is [02:14] zer010: sure [02:14] I don't think that most people understand what a "cloud" is to begin with.

[02:28] SolidState, the idea is to save power I think. [02:28] w30, I see, wouldn't 'loafing' reduce heat? [02:28] can anyone help? [02:28] err, I guess one is lower sorry not thinking for a sec [02:29] this chipset it8720 is only recently supported afaik [02:29] When i open up ubuntu 11.04 i log in, and it shows blank except the background and mouse. using wubi on windows 7 [02:29] edbian: rsync time to zfs pool and then resetup server :( [02:29] SolidState, you would think so in one core anyway maybe raise it in the one working the most. [02:29] sabiancrash_cgx: :/ [02:30] w30, natty brought working proc temps and seems to be alot more stable on the i3 [02:30] losty, ok so on your webcam page u linked earlier, go to the "this" link, download that file [02:31] needs the newer driver [02:32] nom_mon: Be patient. I've been waiting longer than you and only posted my question once so far. Someone will get to you eventually. meanwhile, try google, then repost your question after several minutes. [02:32] jamiewan i downloaded the new files, but the instructions seem a bit confusing??! unless i just install as normal? [02:32] ok thanks sorry [02:33] Hi all.

[02:37] jamiewan there is no deb file to click and install, it seems i might have to make some directories and copy/move files [02:38] jon8: yes [02:38] well, the problem is not the login screen it's after [02:38] rinkukokiri: I rarely run ubuntu with any heads [02:38] SolidState & sabiancrash_cgx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616271/ [02:38] any NCONF people around.

[02:40] Download the needed archive from here. [02:40] Untar it and go inside the new created folder: [02:40] tar xvfz r5u870-0.10.1.tar.gz [02:40] cd r5u870-0.10.1 [02:40] losty: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:40] After make install the Glibc2.11 Ubuntu 9.10 became unuseable and unbootable [02:40] sorry didnt mean to flood [02:41] holaaaa [02:41] Recentery,inorder to lean android kernel devemenpent. Because Ubuntu9.10 only suport Glibc2.10 but android kernel need Glibc2.11 to use. I need to update the Glibc2.10 to 2.11. So I got the source code of Glibc2.11 form ubuntu.com. [02:41] Then I executed the 'configure', 'make' and 'make check' commands. Every thing was OK, but until I executed the 'make install' command . Ubuntu9.10 can not execute any program afer that. even the make uninstall or make clean command and all command unexecutable. [02:41] So I shutdown the computer and try to reboot the system. But it unbootable. it stoped at the ubuntu ring boot logo. [02:41] clusterfusk: what happens if you do a nslookup archive.canonical.com [02:41] Something weird happens when I try to boot up ubuntu, any idea what's going on here? [02:41] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/384735/Boot.3g2 [02:42] nom_mon: try choosing "Ubuntu Classic" during login. A button to show your choices of WMs should show up at the bottom of the screen between entering your username and entering your password. [02:42] http://browntechx.com/live/ is uber cool!! [02:42] I am trying to use dansguardian, and squid either times out with a blank page, or times out getting the ip, or just plain blocks; anyone care to look at a pastebined .conf? [02:42] clusterfusk, use sudo [02:42] losty, so open terminal, cd to wherever its located like the page says, let me know when ur there we'll just follow the page see what happens [02:42] I realize the base problem is the different x servers in my setup... still, there should be a simple solution so that I can easily drag windows/icons/elements from one display to the other without reverting to a single x server. [02:42] clusterfusk, are you root when doing that command [02:43] SolidState: Yes. note the '#' [02:43] stevlau, do you know how to recover you system [02:43] stevlau, live cd.. chroot etc [02:43] idk your sources are the same as mine pretty much [02:43] is your dns working right? [02:43] ok, im going to try that. im using windows now, do i'm going to log off. thanks1 [02:43] I dont't known [02:44] clusterfusk: It appears to be a dns resolution issue, please try my nslookup suggestion to see if you can resolve the addresses that are having trouble in your first paste [02:44] clusterfusk, can you ping the apt-get update ip [02:44] peanuts are cool [02:44] stevlau, use my name when posting so I can find the message. Too many messages [02:45] sabiancrash_cgx: ";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached" [02:45] SolidState: ping is not always a reliable test [02:45] clusterfusk: thats your issue [02:45] k host then [02:45] can you ping 4.2.2.2 [02:45] host google.com [02:45] stevlau, not sure how to fix the glib problem [02:45] Considering that's the one thing that makes me want to finish blowing out my previous windows install and continue with my reinstall.. I hate going through the pain of installing windows/drivers/software and having to redo it every 6-8 mos, but unless Ubuntu stops trying to make their OS pretty, and starts adding requested functionality, people are going to keep going back to windows. [02:45] if you type google into google the internet will break. [02:45] its a proven fact [02:45] how can i create a network with my wifi ? this one is kubuntu and the other box is win xp [02:45] k blind guy ;-P [02:46] so dont do that [02:46] if you can ping 4.2.2.2 you need to make sure you have a reliable dns host setup in your livecd environment [02:46] stevlau, but if you need access to the install, you can use a live cd and mount your harddrive and then chroot to it [02:46] 4.2.2.2 is a very reliable dns server [02:46] umm hello? [02:46] 8.8.8.8 is another as well [02:46] so is 4.2.2.3 and 4.2.2.4 [02:46] clusterfusk, cat /etc/resolve.conf [02:46] fml [02:46] steviewonder: Stop trolling. [02:46] ?

Is there a network config file I should copy to the chrooted environment? [02:47] but i made it to the directory [02:47] Vilemaxim:can i copy the files from other good ubuntu 9.10 to my bad system to repair it?

[02:50] fester77, if you tell us the issue :-P [02:50] how can i create a network with my wifi ? this one is kubuntu and the other box is win xp [02:50] losty, sudo make install [02:50] clusterfusk, scroll up. I told you exactly what to do [02:50] fester77, do you have a router? [02:50] i also like this (ubunto box) to share its internet [02:50] RUDE [02:50] losty, then sudo modprobe r5u870 [02:51] the way my win7 boot does more or less [02:51] clusterfusk add nameserver 4.2.2.2 to your /etc/resolv.conf [02:51] OMG IMMA CRY [02:51] no its just 2 laptop on adhoc wifi [02:51] steviewonder, you made your point. They were being overly sensitive. [02:51] THANKS! [02:51] fester77, your best bet... go buy a router, that way you don't really have to worry about firewalls and such.. plus you don't have to deal with the overhead of one pc having to monitor all your bandwidth [02:51] can anyone help me figure out why my mouse buttons stop responding? [02:51] * sabiancrash_cgx hearts the /ignore command [02:52] steviewonder, dude just shutup [02:52] its adhoced atm cuz i know too little linux but ... im talking about the win7 win xp setup [02:52] IMMA GIRL [02:52] someone ban him already! [02:52] !ops steviewonder being a complete dick [02:52] clusterfusk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:52] IM A GIRL [02:52] now it will be kubuntu win xp adhoc [02:52] fester77, if you would like to get all l33t with your router, pfsense.org ;) [02:52] steviewonder: 1) you've been told, stop shouting 2) nobody gives a crap what your gender is [02:52] steviewonder, and im a pink elephant [02:52] wrong channel :( [02:52] im still a girl [02:52] steviewonder, well dude et shuy up [02:52] :( [02:52] i dont have a router [02:53] stop feeding the troll [02:53] lol @ SolidState, seems I've been hittin the ether a bit too much eh? [02:53] ! [02:53] jamiewan it started to install than said no such directory [02:53] folks, most of your irc clients have the ability to ignore a user [02:53] rinkukokiri, could be -.- [02:53] okay serous though i need help with my mIRC [02:53] steviewonder ... u could be a little more constructive ... this is a help chat for idiots like me .... [02:53] steviewonder: good luck [02:53] do you want me to paste bin jamiewan? [02:53] ????? [02:54] steviewonder: ask the actual question then [02:54] losty, yeah i/ve only got another 15mins tho [02:54] steviewonder, you need wine or crossover office [02:54] fester77, like I said, go buy a cheap NON LINKSYS.. flash it with DD-WRT or Tomato or something else OSS and use that instead of forcing one pc to monitor/slowdown your internet. [02:54] steviewonder, what type of help? [02:54] wtf is wrong with my mIRC? [02:54] steviewonder: Why are you trying to use mIRC on ubuntu? [02:54] jamiewan http://paste.ubuntu.com/616279/ [02:54] steviewonder, cause your on windows. LOL! [02:54] so in order to run linux i must purchase additional hardware ? [02:55] haha jk i have no clue what a mIRC is ... danielbrown just asked me about it [02:55] if it worked win7 to winxp i cant see why it cant work ubuntu to winxp [02:55] clusterfusk, did you figure it out yet? [02:55] fester77: In order to run a network you need networking hardware... Like a router [02:55] fester77: should be able to connect to ad hoc just fine [02:55] akerl: not with an ad hoc network [02:56] fester77, what's not working [02:56] fester77: i dont know if the graphical network tool for kubuntu can do it. maybe try network-manager-gnome? if not, definitely doable from command line [02:56] maco: True, but an ad hoc network isn't exactly the recommended way to do persistent home networking [02:56] akerl: meh, ya work with what ya've got [02:56] SolidState & sabiancrash_cgx: no change after putting "nameserver 4.2.2.2" in /etc/resolve.conf [02:56] fester77, no.. it will just be easier for you to go out and get a router, hook it up to all your pc's and use that as the gateway to the internet instead of using a pc with 30 NIC's in it to do the same thing along with play wow, run a laggy firewall, unwittingly install microsoft xp antivirus 2011, etc... [02:56] wrong file clusterfusk [02:56] losty, just cd to/dev and see if theres a folder video0 [02:56] resolv.conf [02:56] clusterfusk, sudo ifdown eth0 sudo ifup eth0 [02:56] Might need to sober up first === Cam|03|09 is now known as Cam [02:57] or actuaslly sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:57] what ubuntu should I put on my macbook? [02:57] ubuntu ubuntu? [02:57] 64 or 32 bit? [02:57] maco how to i procced with setting up the adhoc ?

[02:57] I agree with akerl .. go with ubuntu ubuntu. [02:57] boaz: What processor, how much RAM? [02:57] ultrixx: it's a core duo [02:58] akerl: 4gig [02:58] akerl, what has ram got to do with it? [02:58] jamiewan no folder called video0 [02:58] sorry, I should have asked that question all at once, akerl. lol. [02:58] is there like a network manager like in windows ? .... [02:58] boaz: how much of the ram can you actually use in mac os? is it core duo not core 2 duo? [02:58] losty, create one call in video0 [02:58] boaz: I would go with 64bit unless you have a reason to not [02:58] SolidState: with the difference between 32 or 64 bit OS? RAM and CPU are the prime hardware difference [02:58] fester77: you can try using network-manager-gnome, or you can use "sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc" then "sudo iwconfig wlan essid yournetworkname" (if no WEP or WPA stuff. if you do need that stuff, i'll expand further) [02:58] its called network-manager-gnome [02:58] losty, then go thru the process again make make install etc [02:58] sabiancrash_cgx & SolidState: renamed file. working now. Thank you both very much. [02:59] heller? [02:59] ultrixx: not sure how much I can actually use. it's a core 2 duo [02:59] clusterfusk: excellent [02:59] jamiewan says permission denied [02:59] akerl, (amount) of ram has nothing to do with processor architechture [02:59] boaz: core 2 duos are all 64 bit capable [02:59] jamiewan i am logged on as full admin [02:59] SolidState: :-( He asked if he should install 32 or 64 bit ubuntu...

[02:59] boaz: np [02:59] SolidState: RAM has a lot to do with choosing between a 62/32bit OS [02:59] Loshki, yeah thats ok, [02:59] ^^ [02:59] fester77, allright, here's community documentation on the subject, but I still recommend going out and finding/buying/taking/borrowing a router and placing that in between your cable modem and your pc's ..... anyway, here it is. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [02:59] how do you figure!? [02:59] losty, thats ok [03:00] just curious... [03:00] how can we go private window in this chat? .... used to mirc .... xchat is too new for me [03:00] ok thanks jamiewan [03:00] If i have 8GB ram, I will lose the ability to leverage 4GB of that in a 32bit OS [03:00] SolidState: Because (especially on older processors lacking PAE, if you have 4+ gigs of RAM, a 32 bit OS can't use over 3.5ish of it [03:00] thx rinkukoiri [03:00] fester77, right click on there nick and open dialog [03:00] if you have 8gb of ram, you are 99.9% going to be on a 64bit proc... yes? [03:00] s/PAE/PAE)/ [03:00] and PAE just sucks imho [03:00] not many machine have 8gb of ram. [03:01] SolidState: a 64 bit processor doesn't do shit to help you use more RAM if you're on a 32 bit OS [03:01] my laptop does [03:01] I know that ;\ [03:01] 8gb of ram won't give you performance boost of a better processor though guys [03:01] I have machines with 96GB ram [03:01] i have a 16 gb mac pro [03:01] SolidState: Its not about performance, its about leveraging the investment in the hardware you have [03:01] sabiancrash_cgx & SolidState: now there's another problem. http://paste.ubuntu.com/616282/ But it's right here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/grub [03:02] fester77, seriously though, you got 30.00 $$ ?? >> http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+-+150N+Enhanced+Wireless-N+Router+with+4-Port+Ethernet+Switch/2196035.p?id=1218313905933&skuId=2196035&st=router&cp=1&lp=4 [03:02] SolidState: I have no gd clue what you're even arguing. RAM and CPU affect choice of 32/64 bit OS. That is a fact [03:02] sabiancrash_cgx, what machine do you have with 96gb lol [03:02] akerl: watch the language [03:02] also with 16.2 tb of hard drive space [03:02] maco: gotcha [03:02] clusterfusk: grub is deprecated [03:02] akerl, not really, if you have the correct hardware and PAE you can run up to 64 gigs on a 32 bit os [03:02] grub 2 (grub-pc) replaces it [03:02] SolidState: Distributed computing nodes [03:03] k. [03:03] anyway back to the topic [03:03] sabiancrash_cgx: I know, but grub2 breaks my system. Grub is in the repo, so why won't it install? [03:03] akerl, however it is rare to find the correct hardware with the PAE in one. [03:03] rinkukokiri: Which is why I said CPU and RAM. CPU affects PAE or not, as I said above. [03:03] clusterfusk: What do you mean it breaks it [03:03] PAE isn't the determining factor I've found, it's the chipset/hardware combination [03:03] clusterfusk: maybe we should troubleshoot grub instead of shoehorning grub .97 onto it [03:04] example, i have PAE but cannot use it because of an incorrect chipset/hardware configuration. [03:04] PAE is the factor... It's what *allows* a 32 bit OS to address more than 4gig of RAM. [03:04] in fact, #grub won't even answer questions regarding grub .97 and older [03:04] the bottom line is, if you have an old slow 32bit proc with who cares how much ram, it still is slow and any 64bit proc with 4gb of ram will kill it [03:04] sabiancrash_cgx: after the bios, when grub should start, the monitor turns off. [03:04] ultrixx: how about dualbooting osx/ubuntu? Is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Dual-Boot: Mac OSX and Ubuntu my best bet? [03:05] SolidState: you confuse me. If you have a 32bit proc, you don't have more than 4GB ram. period [03:05] omg. [03:05] unless your doing PAE which is not typical on consumer machines [03:05] boaz: you should use ReFIT [03:05] boaz: but i will read the page you pasted [03:05] is it typical on your nodes [03:05] it sucks btw. [03:06] ultrixx: any good way to do that with out wiping my existing os? [03:06] squid unable to determine ip from hostname-why? (squid.conf - http://pastebin.com/P8xdWA2d ) [03:06] yes it does, and yes the XEONs do support PAE [03:06] Is there something funny about trying to boot off of LVM drives with Grub? One one of my drives I have 2 partitions (200 mb ext2 /boot, remainder is Physical Space for a logical group). In that group I have one volume which is setup to mount on / as ext4. When I boot up grub gives me error: unknown filesystem [03:06] akerl, Use of PAE to address RAM above the 4 GB point is key to breaking the "3 GB barrier." There are, however, factors that limit this ability, and lead to the "3 GB barrier" under certain circumstances, even though the processor fully supports PAE. [03:06] but they are also 64bit CPUs so I run a native 64bit OS on them [03:06] PAE is a hack [03:06] I know l\ [03:06] :\ [03:06] sabiancrash_cgx: after the bios, when grub should start, the monitor turns off. [03:06] the rest of the motherboard must participate in allowing RAM above the 4GB point to be addressed by the CPU. [03:07] boaz: sure, it's in the link you posted here [03:07] yea like I said PAE sucks. [03:07] clusterfusk: Did you try reinstalling grub-pc [03:07] ^^ exactly [03:07] ultrixx: oh, I guess I should read it then ;p [03:07] increasing your ram exponentially isn't going to help your performance. [03:07] boaz: lol [03:07] I hope you know that [03:07] RTFM!!!! [03:07] * boaz RTFMs [03:07] sabiancrash_cgx: yes [03:07] anyone in here using dual displays with one of them rotated? [03:08] I need some help on that particular set-up [03:08] SolidState: performance is a very loose concept and involves all aspects of the system and the workload presented [03:08] yea thats what I am saying ;\ [03:08] its a chain the whole weakest link theory [03:08] IE any 32 bit pos processor [03:08] jamiewan not sure if you still about, but tried it and still showing same, il keep trying, thanks for help mate, hope you have good evening [03:08] or any convential non solid state hd [03:09] I've got the displays, err, displaying. The problem is that the "virtual" screen size on the non-rotated display is off the boundries of the physical screen. [03:09] losty, there will be someone more resourceful than i mate i'm sure, hope it all works out cheers [03:09] Did nom_mon ever come back to verify whether or not my suggestion helped? [03:10] that is to say, I can drag windows and icons off the screen to the "virtual" area and I shouldn't be able to. [03:10] PauseBazinga, I'm using dual displays, neither rotated, but I wish to know how to use seperate x servers and have the ability to drag windows/icons/gui elements from one display to the other. [03:10] losty, what you tryin to do man? [03:10] clusterfusk: So there is no opportunity to hit c during bootup before the monitor blanks? [03:10] hi SolidState [03:10] SolidState im trying to install some drivers for my laptop's built in webcam [03:10] or even be able to copy/paste icons from one display to the other/ [03:11] keep getting stuck [03:11] sabiancrash_cgx: that's right. BIOS => Monitor turns off. [03:11] well I can drag from one to the other just fine. there's one big square virtual screen and the two displays are on top of that. [03:11] losty, on what exactly? [03:11] ultrixx: your saying that this will let me install without wiping?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#You have already installed Mac OSX and Windows Vista, now to install Ubuntu. [03:11] uh [03:11] i mean [03:11] I'm thinking of getting an Acer Aspire One ZG5 with winxp installed and putting linux on it but I can't find any sort of compatibility list. Does anyone have any information on this? [03:11] PauseBazinga, yeah, that's exactly what I don't want. [03:12] but since one is rotated and they're not the same dementions that leave a lot of extra space that the OS thinks is in use that I can't actually see [03:12] if you buy a laptop, get the one with a free xbox 360 lol [03:12] ultrixx: i mean the "Example Ubuntu Installation after Mac OSX..." post? [03:12] I want two independant displays that have the ability to talk to each other. [03:12] clusterfusk: did you run apt-get purge grub-pc prior to attempting to install grub? [03:12] SolidState on installing the driver, ive been following the instructions but doesnt seem to work, http://paste.ubuntu.com/616289/ has the link im following and also the output [03:12] sabiancrash_cgx: when? why? [03:13] rinkukokiri, I actually had it working perfectly on Gnome 3 with the proper physical boundries recognized. Problem is my brain was fighting against using Gnome 3 [03:13] clusterfusk: actually they have documentaion on reverting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reverting to GRUB Legacy [03:13] hilo [03:13] I have a brand new re-install of 11.04, and I still have ZERO sound. Are my friends still here? [03:13] lol [03:13] rinkukokiri, look up twinview and xinearama [03:13] hellomoto [03:13] user connects to squid via eth4, internet is on eth3; how do I do this? [03:13] anybody like tayswift??? [03:13] I had problems with both of them back in 9.04 .. [03:14] is there a social channel ? [03:14] Trfsrfr: did you have sound on the live ccd/usb? [03:14] ANYBODY LIKE TAYSWIFT?? [03:14] solidstate, good call. I'd forgotten about that, but I think I remember them breaking my life last time I tried [03:14] #ubuntu-offtopic ? [03:14] I <3 HER [03:14] boaz: ŷou basically shrink the windows partition so you have enough space for ubuntu [03:14] steviewonder, gtfo u queer [03:14] !offtopic | steviewonder [03:14] steviewonder: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:14] KM0201, I didnt check....damn... [03:14] boaz: you do that inside the ubuntu installation program [03:14] I'll reinstall fglx and try xenorama, brb [03:15] MY MIRC IS BROKEN... [03:15] ultrixx: I'm on a mac. [03:15] steviewonder, then go to the #mirc channel [03:15] Trfsrfr: probably would've been a smart thing to check [03:15] boaz: yes i thought so^^ [03:15] sabiancrash_cgx: I'll try those instructions. thanks. [03:15] steviewonder, so broken that it's allowing you to chat with us? [03:15] boaz: have you got windows installed in bootcamp [03:15] bye ubuntu world [03:15] ultrixx: no [03:16] YES? [03:16] how do you alert ops? [03:16] boaz: so why do you come up with ubuntu after mac os and windows? [03:16] KM0201, yeah...I agree. But I had so many other things to do...I guess I still could? [03:16] Trfsrfr: i guess.. not sure what it would accomplish at this point though [03:16] brb, Ratheon reset required... [03:16] PauseBazinga, you need to do sudo make && sudo make install [03:16] idk, i didn't see any other sections that seemed like they addressed the no wipe I want [03:16] boaz: go to Dual-Boot: Mac OSX and Ubuntu [03:17] err that was for losty. [03:17] !help [03:17] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:17] KM0201, but I can always put the dc in and run it right? Even if I have ubuntu installed, or no? [03:17] THEY WONT ANSWER??? [03:17] cd [03:17] Trfsrfr: of course [03:17] ok, thanks ultrixx. [03:17] solidstate, you mean the included option for xenorama in CCC isn't actually there?

[03:18] SolidState il give it another shot [03:18] !feedthetroll [03:18] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal.

[03:18] sorry [03:18] losty, do what I said you tried to just do sudo make install you gotta do sudo make first [03:18] Trfsrfr: yeah, i'm guessing its probably jsut a setting somewhere.. what is your sound device (lspci in a terminal) [03:18] hah ai aint that dumb [03:19] * SolidState shoots steviewonder with an ak [03:19] okay solidestate, here goes... [03:19] TERRORIST!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:19] * sudokill shoots SolidState with an rpg [03:19] !ot [03:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:19] damn. overkill [03:19] and there was war [03:19] hey, I'm having trouble connecting to a wifi network. I can see the network and try to connect to it, but it just keeps asking me for a password, but the password is right. [03:19] steviewonder, this isn't a social channel, this is a support channel for Ubuntu. if you do not have an ubuntu support related question, please navigate yourself to #ubuntu-offtopic or some other social related channel. [03:19] anyone here familiar with filezilla? [03:19] tuxxman, you got the right kind of encryption set? [03:19] Yeah [03:20] details then I say! [03:20] #UBUNTU-OFFTOPIC WILL NOT ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:20] i wonder why [03:20] BITCH! [03:20] I am fucking baked heh [03:20] steviewonder, whats the matter [03:20] i was uploading some files using filezilla, checked the box to skip files already present on server, but now I think it's even skipping files *not present on the server [03:20] yay, i was just gonna tell him to join Rizon and bug the 4chan guise :D [03:20] is it a clean operation for windows to shrink its partition .. to make more for ubuntu? or should i expect that windows is gonna go bonkers after i shrink its home? [03:21] steviewonder, u wanna talk about taylor swift? [03:21] where do i go to turn off the "always perform this action" [03:21] KM0201, http://paste.ubuntu.com/616294/ [03:21] sudokill, he's gone. [03:21] SolidState: Running on an HP dm4, and I can connect on windows7 [03:21] delinquentme, windows can shrink it fine [03:21] in other words I don't want it to skip files anymore hehe [03:21] delinquentme, it checks the fs [03:22] I click connect, and the only thing that happens is it attempts to connect and then asks me for the password again [03:22] delinquentme, yep, windows actually does something right there.. [03:22] delinquentme, and makes sure data isnt lost [03:22] Trfsrfr: i'm not at my desktop, but i'm almost positive thats the sound device i have on my desktop [03:22] ok so then the process is .. shrink the windows partition .. and then use gparted? [03:22] SolidState ive tried, seemed to have got little bit further, but doesnt seem to want to complete the modprobe http://paste.ubuntu.com/616297/ [03:23] delinquentme, yes and format new partition as ext4 or whatever and install to that [03:23] KM0201, I have not had sound in 2 months. There have been many here trying to help me, and I (we) decided that a fresh install was in order. [03:23] metatagg: Fix your connection, please. [03:23] KM0201, so here I am again, just got into the new install 10 minutes ago [03:23] sudokill, so i dont need to install anything .. i just need a bigger primary ext4 hd got a 100gig file i need on my HD [03:23] Trfsrfr: hmm, that is strange [03:23] delinquentme, I would probably defrag the drive a couple times before shrinking [03:24] @rww you familiar with filezilla? :) [03:24] Frostyglitch: if I were, I'd have answered your question already ;P [03:24] delinquentme, then just use gparted and format it to whatever u want [03:24] KM0201, AND..I am a total noob [03:24] d [03:24] delinquentme, Just make sure you pay special attention to where ubuntu wants to install the bootloader, if you install to the partition that has windows on it... no more windows bootloader.. [03:24] <.< [03:24] losty, idk it isn't compiling correctly, so its not going to modprobe, try getting a newer version of the driver. [03:24] Trfsrfr: have you tried asking on the forums? [03:24] I've installed the emacs package under 11.04 but I don't see the menu under Applications [03:24] was hoping to actually find somebody active in the filezilla channel here, but of course it's dead [03:25] try finding a .deb package [03:25] do I need another package? [03:25] ok, will try SolidState - many thanks for your patient and help! :D [03:25] sabiancrash_cgx: The istructions you linked me to require me to apt-get install grub. That's not working. http://paste.ubuntu.com/616298/ [03:25] oh so im already on a dual booted system .. i just want more space for well .. ' operating ' systems [03:25] nom_mon: did it work? [03:26] Trfsrfr: does post #1 accurately describe your problem?.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/onboard-sound-via82xxx-not-working-in-slackware-current-and-13-1-a-870785/ [03:26] KM0201, i have. But without real-time info, it doesnt help much for me right now. Which is why im here... [03:26] clusterfunk: yes. what does this mean? [03:26] Trfsrfr: yeah.. [03:26] clusterfusk, you NEED to use grub2 dude [03:26] delinquentme, if u want it for both win and linux dnt forget to use ntfs or something windows can natively use [03:27] ne1 have ibm ds storagemanger working on ubuntu 11? [03:27] SolidState: tell that to my monitor as it turns off during boot [03:27] lol [03:27] 1 more question .. does ubuntu have a graphical tool which shows what folders take up the most room on the HD? [03:27] yes [03:27] clusterfusk, while booting from hd or disk? [03:27] forgot what its called lol [03:28] sequoia? [03:28] file analyser ? idk [03:28] disk usage analyzer [03:28] nom_mon: your hardware doesn't like the unity interface. using Ubuntu classic should do just fine. [03:28] KM0201, I not so much describing my problem. When I was running the prior ubuntu version, I had sound...until I updated... [03:28] windows program is called sequioaview [03:28] nom_mon: or unity is otherwise broken [03:28] clusterfunk: is there any way i can run natty? [03:28] ^^ views filesize as colored squares [03:29] hmm [03:29] clusterfusk, while booting from hd or disk? [03:29] SolidState: from HD [03:29] k. [03:29] GDmap [03:29] I'm thinking of getting an Acer Aspire One ZG5 with winxp installed and putting linux on it but I can't find any sort of compatibility list. Does anyone have any information on this? [03:29] hmmm...I appreciate your help [03:29] delinquentme: Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer [03:29] mouse, there is an ubuntu laptop compatability list somewhere [03:29] mouse: I am running on an acer aspireone [03:29] sudokill, delinquentme rww http://dataisnature.com/?p=260 ?? [03:30] mouse: I have ubuntu 11 going.. [03:30] dltucker, What model? [03:30] rinkukokiri, not sure if the disk usage analyser is still in 11.04 [03:30] Oook.. something went completly wrong, I was writing a text doc, system suddenly rebooted, and now ubuntu is saying my keyring password is not the same as my login pass.. wtf [03:30] rinkukokiri: That's for Windows, not Ubuntu. [03:30] SolidState: I've never gotten grub2 to work on this machine. I always install grub legacy. [03:30] clusterfusk, bad hw? [03:30] mouse: ZG5 or is that ZGS [03:30] nothing wrong with grub legacy [03:31] clusterfunk: is there any way I can run natty? [03:31] rww google said there was a reference to GdMap on that page... i didn't read b4 i linked, srry [03:31] How do you reset the graphics to the "default" when you first pop in the live CD? [03:31] mouse: just got bifocals... I think it is a zG5 and I only have one gb [03:31] dltucker, How did you install ubuntu 11? [03:31] sudokill, delinquentme rww try that? http://gdmap.sourceforge.net/ [03:31] ya use grub legacy then I guess.. [03:31] how slow is a machine that can't run grub 2 though... ? [03:31] My Company has a ubuntu build. [03:32] but you can download it and install it from a usb key [03:32] grub 2 doesnt require high spec lol [03:32] Oook.. something went completly wrong, I was writing a text doc, system suddenly rebooted, and now ubuntu is saying my keyring password is not the same as my login pass.. wtf [03:32] spam [03:32] dltucker, what company? [03:32] or an usb external hd. I would imagine there [03:32] nom_mon: Ubuntu Classic IS natty, just without the sparkly new Unity interface. Trust me, you're not missing anything. It's a pain the butt. I removed it from my laptop. [03:32] ibm [03:32] thats cool ibm uses ubuntu. [03:32] dltucker, Did you have any problems with the wifi adapter? [03:32] can anyone help me with samba? before upgrading to 11.04 i was able to mount/access my shares, but now it fails. and running smbclient asks for a password [03:32] clusterfunk: ok thanks for all your help, [03:32] dltucker, you can do that with most any os now a days. even windows. I have xp installed on a sandisk 16g cruiser [03:33] rinkukokiri: Unlike the program I already listed, GdMap is not included in Ubuntu. [03:33] the only problems with wifi aare sometimes i have to take the battery out but that was the say with windows 7 [03:33] nom_mon: that's "clusterfusk" [03:33] rww that is true. [03:33] clusterfunkydunkydoo. [03:33] KM0201, does my pastebin post look okay? [03:33] mouse: here is the link for ubuntu certified hardware http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [03:33] :| [03:33] Trfsrfr: yeah.. [03:33] dltucker, That's strange behavior. [03:34] mouse: the wifi works out of the box on both the ibm build and the other ubuntu builds that I have tried. [03:34] dltucker, I thought there was only a RHEL imagine that requires a licence for Linux at IBM !?! [03:34] rww considering this new unity crap, i can't understand how anyone can find stuff already installed in ubuntu anymore though :D [03:34] ok bye [03:34] brb goin to relogin to classic. [03:34] xfce owns === klown is now known as Guest67369 [03:34] clusterfusk: grub is prolly not available in any of the sources you have setup in sources.list [03:34] Delerium_: nope, IBM does have a redhat build and an ubuntu build. used to have a suse build. but there are several redhat builds. even a 6.1 [03:35] KM0201, so this is weird. I have changed from on-board sound in BIOS to external, and back again multiple times [03:35] your going to have to find the proper repo for it and then add it to your sources.list and then do a apt-get update [03:35] kamran1, Thank you. I was looking for something like that. [03:35] dltucker, ha... didn't knew that... a friend of mine might be happy! ;) [03:35] sabiancrash_cgx: that's my guess, but I don't know which sources I'm supposed to add. [03:35] clusterfusk a little googling to tell you [03:35] clusterfusk, lol ;\ [03:35] KM0201, right now im on external, and my sound card is suppoted [03:35] supported [03:35] Trfsrfr: i wish i could give you an answer, my guess is, if youv'e been working on it for 2mo, folks have tried everything i would try [03:36] So, now that I have disabled that unity crap, what do i break if i uninstall it? [03:36] some people would starve if you didn't hand feed them ;-P [03:36] can anyone help me with samba? before upgrading to 11.04 i was able to mount/access my shares, but now it fails. and running smbclient asks for a password === trekkie is now known as trekkie1701c [03:36] Trfsrfr: what do you mean "it's supported".. it's working? [03:36] SolidState: true [03:36] Delerium_: have him email me if he wants to see where to download the stuff. [03:36] I have a installation of libxml2-dev which php says it's at version 2.6 but I need 2.7 and apt-cache says Version: 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1 Replaces: libxml2 (<= 2.6.6-1), ? How can I install 2.7 [03:36] I found a spelling error on http://www.ubuntu.com/ [03:36] KM0201, no - I mean it is one of the sound cards with drivers that are supported. open-source. [03:36] SushiDude: OH NOES! [03:36] SushiDude: where, specifically? [03:36] if you go to the download [03:37] Trfsrfr: how do you know that? [03:37] I have an ati hd4650 [03:37] I looked it up [03:37] 87 MB for a hard drive visualization tool sudo apt-get install kdirstat ... that doesnt sound right [03:37] if you go to: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [03:37] then [03:37] dltucker, k, I'll let him know... Thanks for the info! [03:37] Burn your CD or create a USB drive [03:37] USB stick, Windows [03:37] Show me how [03:38] Oook.. something went completly wrong, I was writing a text doc, system suddenly rebooted, and now ubuntu is saying my keyring password is not the same as my login pass.. wtf [03:38] SushiDude: type a complete thought on one line, not 6, please [03:38] clusterfusk: sorry [03:38] and then : 5. Read the licence agreement and choose 'I Agree' to continue [03:38] SushiDude: you shouldn't hae to agree to any license i don't think, to burn an ISO. [03:38] dltucker, Over all what do hate the most about your acer aspire? [03:38] actually let me expand that question.. 1 What do I break if I uninstall Unity. 2 How do I force both x servers to run compiz without having to reload the window manager to produce my titlebars every login 3 how do I run separate x servers and have the ability to drag windows from one display to the other? [03:38] SushiDude: That's not a spelling error, it's British English. [03:39] SushiDude, no one cares man hahahaha! [03:39] rww: really.. [03:39] SolidState: actually, we do. [03:39] SushiDude: yes [03:39] fail -_- [03:39] SushiDude: also, that's off-topic. this is a channel for tech support. [03:39] epic failure. [03:39] SushiDude: where are you geting asked all this again? [03:39] SushiDude: Don't worry about it. I moved UK to US nine years ago and it all still confuses me :) [03:39] Hi and help! [03:39] Hi, I think I did something to Unity and now the title bar is not integrating with the panel. What shud I do? [03:39] english is the worst language lol. [03:40] can anyone help me with samba? before upgrading to 11.04 i was able to mount/access my shares, but now it fails. and running smbclient asks for a password [03:40] KM0201: what? [03:40] I am not liking unity so far [03:40] my proc folder is almost 3 gigs! I removed kde and installed xfce [03:40] KM0201: you're misreading what they said ;) [03:40] rww: i guess so.. :) [03:40] edbian is not longer here: well for posterity, tried that vdk on another host machine, grub still hangs on boot up [03:40] mouse: screensize and then keyboard is small. and thirdly I guess I could use some more ram. but it runs ubuntu 11 just fine [03:40] I thought was going to save space but it increased. [03:40] joustin: Then don't use it [03:41] joustin, neither did I === jonathan__ is now known as Sailias [03:41] dltucker, How much ram do you have? [03:41] mouse: 1 gb [03:41] 1.21 gigawatts [03:41] I have to give it a few more weeks to make sure. It took me a while to like aero [03:41] there are many folders inside /proc with numbers and look to have the same info [03:41] mouse: actually if I was not tied to a couple of apps i would run ubuntu on my thinkpad [03:42] rinkukokiri, 1: unity, possibly some of the other graphical stuff. 2: enable compiz in your gnome-session (assuming you're using gnome). 3: you don't. 4: why not just choose ubuntu-classic when you login through gdm? [03:42] dltucker, What apps? [03:42] jv_, sudo du -a /proc | sort -n -r | head -n 10 [03:42] mouse: mostly ibm internal apps like the ibm ssct tool [03:43] mouse: and I have yet to find an mp3/cdg karaoke program for linux... [03:43] Anyone knows how to solve the title bar issue in Unity? [03:43] dltucker, I see. I wouldn't know those apps so I wouldn't know a decent replacement either. [03:43] Aginor, i am using ubuntu-classic, but I would like to remove the stuff I have chosen to hate like a redheaded stepchild. [03:43] mouse: I also have a kodak printer and afaik there is no linux driver for it.. [03:44] dltucker, i think you can use windows printer drivers some how.... [03:44] rinkukokiri, I find your statement offensive, and I will not be providing any help to you. Good luck with achieving your goals. [03:44] Oook.. something went completly wrong, I was writing a text doc, system suddenly rebooted, and now ubuntu is saying my keyring password is not the same as my login pass.. wtf I'm really in a fix [03:44] Aginor, and # 2. I have to actually disable compiz with compiz-fusion icon, because with it running i cannot type anything on my second monitor and have no titlebars on anything on the second monitor [03:44] SolidState: hows that? with wine or something? [03:44] Aginor, well I do apologize but I seriously do loathe the new ui. [03:44] dltucker: pykaraoke [03:45] dltucker, no... using the text type file from the drive might have run the .exe on windows to extract the file [03:45] SolidState, thanks, but still has 2.8 gigs,,didn't got smaller [03:45] Logan_: really? can I apt get that? [03:45] jv_, no that will list your big files LOL [03:45] ahahah === sta7ic is now known as Guest14996 [03:45] ok, then [03:45] ;) [03:45] dltucker: yep === tum is now known as Guest6316 [03:45] can anyone help me with samba? [03:45] !anyone | tanath [03:45] tanath: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [03:46] jv_, then you can find out if it is safe to delete which im not sure why anything in /proc should be that big [03:46] Logan_, tried that. no answers :P [03:46] Allrighty then I am on a mission andnif you could only hear me wail some CCR you would be forever changed!! [03:46] dltucker, Yeah printer drivers are a pain. I know for sure cannon isn't very linux friendly at all. I don't do much karaoke but a quick apt search gave me Performous. Have you seen that yet? [03:47] dltucker, creedence clear water revival? [03:47] mouse: nah, that's not what he's looking for - pykaraoke should do it [03:47] need help with samba. before upgrading to 11.04 i was able to mount/access my shares, but now it fails to mount shares. and running smbclient asks for a password [03:47] SolidState: yes and Looking out my back door specifically [03:47] Logan_, Oh okay. Like I said I don't do it much. [03:48] SolidState, it's faster but bigger! I created a moster! ;) [03:48] I am a baked frankenstein monster buahahha [03:48] SolidState: #ubuntu doesn't want to know about your cooking habits :( [03:48] and who are you again...? [03:49] tanath if you have anonymous access enabled on your smb share, then just hitting return on the password prompt should work [03:49] buenas noches , alguien de habla español? [03:49] !es | rargueta [03:49] rargueta: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:49] gracias [03:50] So no one can help me with the titlebar issue in Unity? [03:50] Anyone know how I can get info on network activity from a computer running ubuntu server? [03:50] sabiancrash_cgx, that helped. thanks. new error: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME [03:50] I don't understand all this RandR talk, my Nvidia has NEVER been able to add/remove screens on the fly without stopping the x server. [03:50] nbros652: do you mean total bandwidth or [03:50] nbros652: if you want general stats, iptraf might be what you want [03:50] * rinkukokiri just might enable xinerama just to see if previous bugs have been fixed. [03:50] tanath, make sure in /etc/samba/smb.conf you have guest ok = yes and browseable = yes at the bottom [03:51] on the server that is [03:51] ptley: bandwidth in use === emperor is now known as a123456 [03:51] nbros652: yeah iptraf will show you that [03:51] ok I got a pic for it: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4554/screenshotuy.png [03:51] Dulak: thx. I'll give it a go. [03:53] SolidState, there is a file kcore (program crash data) with over 1 gig but it does not let me chown to root so i can delete [03:53] what should I do? [03:53] jv_, sudo rm filename [03:54] rww, don't have robots send me messages, ok [03:54] SolidState, now it says my shares don't exist [03:54] SolidState: Don't be offtopic in #ubuntu and I won't have ubottu tell you to not be offtopic in #ubuntu. [03:54] I do as I please. [03:54] It's a support channel, do as you please elsewhere. [03:55] cannot remove kcore: operation not permitted [03:55] seems like im the only one helping people hahaha [03:55] SolidState, there were lines with ; in front with settings i wanted enforced. i removed them, and now the shares don't show [03:55] so go ahead and ban me [03:55] no!!!! ahahah [03:55] SolidState: are you sure? [03:55] if you want people to not get helped go ahead. [03:55] I don't need help with linux personally. [03:56] * rww shrugs [03:56] aHardyX: What is the error with that? [03:56] I'm lazy. Just don't be offtopic and we'll call it good. [03:56] new topic. samba :P [03:56] seems like people such as you scare folks away, 'nuff said. [03:57] So, twinview it is it appears. [03:57] SolidState, any other settings i should look at in conf file? [03:57] SolidState, it's rather large [03:58] tanath, google for a basic samba.conf and tailor it to your needs pastebin it if you need help., [03:58] how to take ownership of this kcore file? chown and chmod and sudo and su does not allow to delete it [03:58] no, thats all you should need, unless you need to force user or group since they own the folder.......... [03:58] oh wait, whats your security line set at [03:58] now that I have this setup how i'd like to use it.. how do I put a panel on my secondary monitor? [03:58] using twinview? [03:59] jv_: /proc is a virtual file system. The files inside it are representations of system state and not actual files on your hard disk. They thus do not take up space (and as you're seeing, can't be deleted). [03:59] SolidState, samba config says "broweseable = yes" isn't understood [03:59] er, typoed didn't i? :P [04:00] ya [04:00] rww, good point. why does he have a huge proc though. [04:00] rww, I think this was crash data of the KDE that I removed...The space is over 1 gig and I am almost with no space left after I removed KDE and installed xfce [04:00] wow, i just realized that a few of these guys have their bare ip's showing. [04:00] hope I don't as well ;D [04:01] what guys? [04:01] jv_: No, it isn't crash data. /proc/kcore is a file representation of the RAM in your computer. Again, it is not actually a file. [04:01] how do I hide my ip from ping? [04:01] thought the server was supposed to run a masking algorythm on em [04:01] ahhh! thanks. [04:01] jv_, in your router [04:01] SolidState, what'd i do wrong? doesn't recognize 'browseable' or 'browsable' [04:02] adi_, Sniper1968 jesterwj all have their bare ip's showing [04:02] browsable = yes [04:02] jv_: Or get a cloak from Freenode. if you are so inclined. [04:02] You can't get a cloak from freenode without a > 2 week old account. [04:02] now i'm realizing a LOT of these guise have their bare ip's showing [04:02] whoops [04:02] rinkukokiri, you a big hacker? [04:02] rww: other direction ;) [04:02] rinkukokiri: That is the default on IRC, yes. [04:02] Logan_: nope [04:03] i seriously thought freenode had a script to hide em [04:03] like most other servers do [04:03] Okay I've got a problem with Samba. I can browse to "smb://127.0.0.1/", but not to "smb://localhost/"; the first line in /etc/hosts is "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" ... what do you think of that? [04:03] rinkukokiri, why do you keep talking about peoples ips [04:03] !samba [04:03] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[04:04] i dunno, i just thought it was interesting, so I noted it, then someone else asked whom, so I thought I would elaborate. [04:04] well, to scare me! ;) ..I am going to check my IP settings and will be back some other time.. [04:04] thanks a lot guys [04:04] he isn't gonna hack anyone [04:04] and yes, I have studied professional hacking, although I have yet to finish the curriculum, and am not yet accredited [04:04] It's all visible to any website you go to anyway. IP addresses are not private information. [04:05] that is hilarious [04:05] a professional hacker who can't fix a simple linux problem [04:05] nice man. [04:05] want my ip [04:05] what is mine? [04:06] Sniper1968: adsl-98-84-74-154.gsp.bellsouth.net [04:06] lol. [04:06] ok so how can i hid it [04:06] 98.84.74.154 [04:06] the power of right click [04:06] lol [04:06] he cheated! I typed it [04:06] Sniper1968: go to #freenode and ask for an unaffiliated cloak [04:06] see on rizon everyone has a masked ip [04:06] im affiliated to the rollin 80's [04:07] can i GET a rollin 80's cloak [04:07] no [04:07] why not [04:07] cause he said so [04:07] !ot | SolidState [04:07] SolidState: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:07] fizzuck that shizznat [04:07] because "rollin 80's" is not a registered project with group contacts that can request one for you [04:07] SolidState, found it. reboot unmounted the folder i wanted to share. forgot about that. thanks for help [04:07] anyway, go ask #freenode about freenode questions ;P [04:07] okay so I got this oldish IBM, not sure of the model but I keep getting this: [152.021010] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempt to kill init! [04:07] what are group contacts? [04:07] Ubuntu 10.10 Installation [04:07] or rather who could they be? if I so choose. [04:08] SolidState: go ask #freenode ;P [04:08] naw dude. why don't you ask on my behalf you seem to be like official or something huh? [04:08] SolidState, and dragging windows between separate x servers isn't a "simple linux problem" [04:08] when running netstat -r, when you have a route and the gateway is listed as just "*" what does that mean? [04:08] although neither is databending my windows 7 install so I can recover lost music, [04:08] but that's offtopic. [04:08] databending? [04:09] yep.. opening random files with an audio editor. [04:09] huh... [04:09] gyyrog: * is anywhere aka 0.0.0.0 [04:10] where did steviewonder go? [04:10] b& [04:10] prolly #ubuntu-offtopic [04:10] SolidState: eye clinic [04:11] gyyrog: use netstat -rn to see bare ips [04:11] how does an eye clinic help a blind man? [04:11] ;-( [04:11] Let's not make fun of disabilities and please get back on topic [04:11] ya man [04:12] i like chicken fried steak [04:12] SolidState: I think he meant on topic within the scope of Ubuntu :P [04:12] I sometimes eat it while using ubuntu. [04:12] Dulak: so basically that route just means "on this subnet" [04:12] i say ubuntu while frying chicken.. does that count? === areli is now known as john-doe [04:13] gyyrog: if it's the gateway it means 'on this machine' afaik [04:13] gyyrog, i'm confused as to that route as well, [04:13] I use ubuntu while I read my recipe for general tsaos chicken too [04:13] its awesome man. [04:13] errr [04:13] SolidState: Come back tomorrow when you... or not. [04:13] IdleOne: wrong person :P [04:14] oh, indeed. [04:14] oopsie! [04:14] SolidState: come back tomorrow when you've had some time to think about not being offtopic. [04:14] does anyone knows if the different workspaces can have different icons and not the same on all the workspaces? [04:14] yes and no [04:15] yes it's possible, but not the way ubuntu is configured [04:15] rinkukokiri: do you know where I could find a how-to or a guide for this? [04:15] there's rumors that some rogue distro has that setup, but it's not within the knowledge of ubuntu [04:15] believe me, i've tried. [04:16] Intriguing. Brand new VM, brand new vhd, installing ubuntu server 9.04, Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk: Installatin Step failed [04:16] Hello everyone! know how to write HTML and Javascript, and maybe would message me so I can ask them something that I am confused about?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first.

[04:18] galamar: you're not going to get any more help in here, considering that it is a channel dedicated to a Linux distro [04:18] maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic , though [04:19] looks like there has been more talk about it ... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1651769.html [04:19] has anyone else had an issue with grub in virtualbox [04:20] rinkukokiri: thanks, I'll start there [04:22] what is the correct way to add a folder to the path for a single user? [04:23] john-doe, it appears KDE offers this functionality as well. http://maketecheasier.com/use-kde-plasma-activities/2010/09/01/ [04:23] they're called 'activities' [04:23] bencc: edit ~/.bashrc, add 'export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/folder' relog [04:24] I just installed ubuntu 11.04, unity won't start.

I like being able to run two different firefox profiles at the same time. [04:26] helpme: i think we cant dear [04:26] but how do u add dekstop icons in Ubuntu 11.04 [04:26] u can't?!? [04:26] helpme: you can't drag them from the dash, yet, but there is another way [04:26] wtf? [04:27] helpme: drag? [04:27] what's the other way [04:27] anyone help me with unity? [04:27] helpme: open /usr/share/applications and drag copy launchers to the desktop [04:27] Gskelling: i will try just post here [04:27] will try [04:27] thanks [04:27] brb === scott_ is now known as Guest29789 [04:28] I just installed ubuntu 11.04, unity won't start. Last time I installed 11.04 on this laptop (about two weeks ago) it worked fine... [04:28] im not logging in with "ubuntu classic" === Gskelling is now known as Gskellig [04:28] IT WORKED! [04:28] Gskellig: i think we can choose the environment at the time of login [04:29] Oook.. something went completly wrong, I was writing a text doc, system suddenly rebooted, and now ubuntu is saying my keyring password is not the same as my login pass.. wtf I'm really in a fix [04:29] yeah raju "ubuntu" is unity and "ubuntu classic" is gnome [04:29] i choose "ubuntu" [04:29] but still no unity [04:29] how do you install a package from a particular repository if it exists in multiple repositories (using apt)? [04:29] * raju looking for manish [04:30] screw it, debian installed just fine, thanks for the no help you guys, can always depend on you! [04:30] Gskellig: try "killall mutter" [04:30] KaosMcRage, install the version you want [04:30] its like doing a "killall gnome-panel", but for unity [04:30] it auto-restarts [04:31] killall mutter? [04:31] yes [04:31] did it do anything? [04:31] mutter: no process found [04:32] i did unity --reset earlier and rebooted [04:32] nothing either [04:32] try just "mutter" (if its a command) [04:32] not currently installed? [04:32] :-/ [04:32] hiexpo: yeah, I guess that's what I'm asking - how? [04:32] should i install it? [04:33] no [04:33] hold on [04:33] i have gnome [04:33] just not unity [04:33] are you using natty? or did you install unity on a different version? [04:33] natty [04:34] 11.04 x64 [04:34] i had unity with the livecd [04:34] the livecd that i used to install ... =\ [04:34] hiexpo: nvm, got it - missed it in the man page somehow [04:34] Gskellig: try typing "unity" command? [04:34] pastebin (or paste) any errors [04:34] or the entire output, if you want [04:35] screen flashes a bunch [04:35] then back to normal gnome [04:35] ill pastebin [04:35] h/o [04:35] gartral: you still there? [04:35] k, thanks [04:35] john-doe: yes I am [04:35] http://pastebin.com/1SjCQyw1 [04:36] notice the "there is alredy one running" when i did unity --replace i got the same errors [04:36] but gnome was unuseable after that [04:36] hmm [04:36] do you have a nvidia graphics card? [04:37] i do [04:37] but [04:37] it's disabled [04:37] gartral: what version are you using? [04:37] my laptop has two gfx cards, switchable under windows [04:37] nvidia one is disabled [04:37] John-doe: 11.04 [04:37] for power saving [04:37] ok, hold on [04:38] Gskellig, so it's 'like' a docked card, when you're using ac power it's on but on battery you got some low power one [04:38] Gskellig: Now, does it should you a normal gnome desktop interface? or just, like, a background picture? [04:39] gartral: are you using the gnome classic desktop? [04:39] rinkukokiri, not really... on windows you can press a button and switch, its not automatic [04:39] John-doe: yes I am [04:39] Raikia, its normal gnome [04:40] gartral: go to System -> Preferences -> Encryption and Keyrings === Pilif12p is now known as P|Lastdayofschoo [04:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1637352 [04:40] Gskellig: It might be because it detects that your computer doesnt have the specifications required to run unity, so it goes to gnome [04:41] but it does.. unity ran fine on the livecd and the last time i installed unity... [04:41] Gskellig: Because it does do that. [04:41] John-doe please stand by, gotta reboot [04:41] i installed ubuntu with wubi and it worked fine [04:41] gartral: ok [04:41] But was it using your other graphics card? [04:41] decided to go "real" ubuntu and now its broken [04:41] nope [04:41] i had the nvidia card completely disabled [04:42] real ? [04:42] Gskellig: Go to System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers. Are any listed (that say "not used") [04:42] real = no unity? [04:43] cause if so, i agree. [04:43] nvidia accelerated graphics driver [04:43] but if i install that, it'll activite my nvidia card [04:43] which i dont want [04:43] i dont want to use my nvidia card [04:43] and i know unity will work without it [04:43] Hey everyone, I'm having trouble booting up my laptop. This is a video I took from my cell phone (opens in vlc) could anyone see if they recognize what's goingn on? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/384735/Boot.3g2 [04:44] Gskellig: If natty is booting into a full gnome environment, it definitely is detecting your hardware is incapable to run unity. My only thought is that the LiveCD auto-activated your other graphics card, and wubi read your Windows configuration to get access to the graphics cards (so it was mis-interpreted) [04:44] John-doe I am missing encryption and keyrings alltogether [04:44] I can't play any movies with kaffeine in natty? [04:44] Gskellig: I'm not a professional at this at all....I'm just trying to help :-/ [04:44] whats the problem? [04:44] thanks =/ [04:45] by default the nvidia card is disabled, but turned "on" [04:45] I had an error that said unity couldn't run with my hardware... I'm using unity right now [04:45] Raikia: Good call, I agree with that one. [04:45] Gskellig: My only suggestion is to install that nvidia driver, see if it works with it, and then uninstall it if it doesnt [04:45] so with the livecd it was using the intel card [04:45] Gskellig: The LiveCD auto-activates drivers that your computer needs [04:45] installing that driver would open up a whole new world of problems for me =/ [04:45] So it might have read your graphics card, and activated it. [04:45] Gskellig: why? [04:46] the nvidia card on my laptop cant be activated unless i force off the intel one in the bios [04:46] at least on linux [04:46] it can be "turned on" but not displayed [04:46] when i install lubuntu i opted for L Display Manager. now i am required to key in password each time i log in. i want to save the password like GDM with automatic login. i prefer lubuntu. any bright ideas ? [04:46] just sits there eating power, idling [04:46] how do I get kaffeine to work? :( [04:46] John-doe found it under passwords and encryption keys [04:46] :-/ Unfortunately, my suggestion is to try it...but its up to you. I might be wrong....but unity should boot if your hardware supports it (which obviously the culprit is your graphics card) [04:47] it just sucks because i KNOW unity works with my intel card [04:47] i just need to trick it into working [04:47] Check this out [04:47] http://askubuntu.com/questions/34579/how-do-i-know-if-my-video-card-can-run-unity [04:48] gartral: what do you see in that window? [04:49] John-doe only Passwords: login [04:49] gartral: ok wait [04:50] somebody read my Q ? [04:50] Raikia, "unable to create openGL context" and "Xlib: extension GLX missing on display ":0.0". [04:50] Gskellig, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/bumbleebee-brings-nvidia-optimus-gpu-switching-to-linux-users/ [04:50] yeah, nobody has gotten bumblebees stuff working on my laptop yet [04:51] you can read about it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1366605 [04:51] Lol, this laptop is a bitch...no offense :-P [04:51] lol [04:51] gartral: ok what you have to do is delete that, and create a new one [04:51] maybe ill just go back to wubi... =\ [04:51] brb [04:52] quit [04:52] kamran1: You want to use gdm? [04:52] kamran1: You might want to ask for #lubuntu for help [04:53] John-doe its taking a VERY long time too create the new one [04:53] back [04:54] argh [04:54] Omega just want the computer to remember my password. can i switch to GDM now ? [04:55] gartral: mmm... wait some more? when I did this it didn't take too long... [04:55] is there a command where i can get lots of info about my graphics card(s) ? [04:55] or do i need to google [04:55] lspci something? [04:56] if a cron process runs a long time, so long it runs past the time it would normally run again, will cron start two instances? or wait for the other to finish? [04:56] lshw? [04:56] John-doe I have a perpetual password promt asking me too unlock the keyring [04:56] Gskellig: lspci -v [04:57] You might need to sudo that, if you aren't in root to get the full display [04:57] solid_liq: sorry about the accidental removal earlier :/ [04:57] "mobile 4 series chipset" [04:57] IdleOne, no prob :) [04:57] Gskellig: also maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:57] thanks Loshki [04:58] i915 kernel driver [04:58] maybe ill try a different driver [04:58] gartral: just press cancel [04:59] arghhh [04:59] " If you have an intel card, the minimum is the i945 and i965" [04:59] where do you see that Raikia ?

[05:02] gartral: so its all good? [05:02] yeah? [05:02] Gskellig ^ [05:02] why is it i915? [05:02] I don't know, but thats the problem [05:02] minimum is GMA X3100 [05:02] GMA X4500MHD > X3100 lol [05:03] John-doe yes indeedy! [05:03] But if its using the i915 driver, then it thinks it isn't good enough for unity [05:03] so i need to upgrade my driver somehow [05:03] kamran1: type this in the terminal and select gdm to switch: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [05:03] Gskellig: So you need to install/use a better driver [05:03] yeah [05:03] ...somehow....

[05:24] dantheman73: "Second generation iPod" and "Second generation iPod touch" are two *very* different things :) [05:24] CFC: hosts.allow ? is an sshd (usually openssh) running? [05:25] i just installed 11.04 [05:25] celthunder : iPod touch 2nd gen? [05:25] The newer versions of libgpod might be able to mount it [05:25] and i didnt have this much problems with 10.10 [05:25] sabiancrash_cgx: third...but if i'm not mistaken they get more restricted not less with each version.... [05:25] dantheman73: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [05:25] CFC: ...how should i know? did you look? check netstat is anything listening on 22? [05:25] need help with my speakers not always producing sound [05:26] how do i check? === moose is now known as Guest87230 [05:26] ping [05:26] CFC: pgrep sshd or /etc/init.d/ssh status or netstat -nL |grep ssh [05:27] CFC: can you connect from the server to the server? is iptables running? [05:27] celthunder: correct, libgpod should be able to mount it [05:27] looks like there is a fusefs-pod as well [05:27] CFC: sabiancrash_cgx should be able to use fuse....idk if libgpod uses that or not [05:27] er sorry cfc didn't mean to tag you in that [05:28] anyone got one of the new intel z68 motherboards? hows the linux support? [05:28] how to install inventory editor on minecraft linux === nick is now known as Guest64472 [05:28] how to install inventory editor on minecraft linux [05:29] libgpod is the library for communicating to the ipod, fuse would just be a front end to libgpod that exposes the ipod as a block mountable device [05:29] sabiancrash_cgx: i think fuse is it's own thing you can use it without libgpod... [05:29] I can guarantee that any project that seeks to interface with an ipod will go through libgpod [05:29] celthunder, doubtful [05:29] how to install inventory editor on minecraft linux [05:29] how to install tar.bz2? [05:29] Is it safe to install tar.bz2? [05:29] My compiz just crashed and I managed to get to tty, so does anyone have any directions on troubleshooting it? (I have the dmesg file.) [05:30] how to install inventory editor on minecraft linux [05:30] sabiancrash_cgx: sounds right though that it'd need to interface with something else for the ipod [05:30] how can i see whats running on port 5050 [05:30] does anyone know how to install tar.bz2? [05:30] how can I execute a flash binary? [05:30] fission6: netstat? [05:31] tar xjf file.tar.bx2 [05:31] researcher123: extract it tar xjf then cd to the new dir and read the readme/install file most likely ./configure make make install [05:31] celthunder: ok.thanks [05:31] celthunder, doesn't really show anything intuitive [05:31] then cd to new directory... what celthunder said [05:31] hi, does anyone know how i can fix out of sync audio and video in an avi file? i've tried vlc player's syncrhonization but it doesn't seem to be doing anything at al. [05:31] I would be interested in the dmesg | tail -f when you plug in your ipod touch [05:32] Hi .. don't know if this is the right channel....... I want to detect fd leaks... I went to /proc/pid/fd/ ........ there a lot of empty files.. what does that mean? [05:32] boxbeatsy: mplayer lets you as you play it set off timings for vidoe/audio until it sounds right...not sure if it'll let you change the file though...use a video editor ? [05:32] I played with ubuntu's settings and I want to set it back, how do I? [05:33] fission6: what options did you supply to it [05:33] looks like a lot of good info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [05:33] unfortunately doesn't appear to be straight forward [05:33] none - i guess thats the question i should ask [05:33] another good site: http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ [05:34] fission6: man netstat shows -c provides progam name -n numeric and -L is listen if i'm not mistaken (doing these off te top of my head ...those three with a simple grep shoykd orovide what you want [05:34] need advice. Trying to install 10.4.2 from a usb drive created with usb-creator-gtk. I want to use the cli install, but when I type cli at the grub boot prompt I get 'Could not find kernel image: cli' [05:34] (I think we're currently using libimobildevice) [05:34] viva ubuntu!!! [05:34] how do I reset ubuntu,compiz settings? [05:35] albino: pass 3 along after kernel in grub to get to cli [05:35] nothing of that helped me =/ [05:35] mesaber: you can remove .gconf in home directory [05:35] mesaber: System -> Preferences -> compiz ... [05:35] what do the empty files in /proc/pid/fd/ mean? thanks [05:36] dantheman73: unfortunately, I am afraid the answer is not simple [05:36] celthunder: so at the grub boot prompt: install 3 ? [05:36] mesaber: then on that windows click Preferences (by the lower right hand corner) [05:36] CFC: ? so...an sshd is running...on port 22...and you have sshd: ALLOW in hosts.allow and iptables is not blocking it...is it in the same subnet as the client? (or are they networkedtogether at least) [05:36] Celthunder: can anything of this have to do with that i encrypted my folders? [05:36] mesaber: then Reset to defaults [05:36] CFC: no [05:37] mesaber: I think that should work [05:37] dantheman73: however, if you are initiated and desire to learn more of linux, look at the links I posted along with google. My only 2nd gen ipod is currently disassembled for a jack replacement [05:37] albino: no...enter a kernel and then add a 3 to it so kernel 3 [05:37] well my apt-get install of rabbitmq is freezine, which means i have all these weird processes hanging - is there a clean way to kill this and all the subprocess generated? [05:37] Jordan_U: sorry for the delay. Im using Natty Narwal [05:37] when i try connect with putty it talls me conection refused [05:37] ...took me a litle while to find that out. my apologies for the delay. [05:38] by "not that simple" do you mean it wont work? [05:38] killall rabbitmq doesnt work [05:38] has anyone seen my tv remote? [05:38] oh wait wrong room... [05:38] its actully saying the same when i try connect to my FTP on it =/ [05:38] CFC that would be apparent.. [05:39] oki [05:39] CFC: are they on the ame network? able to contact each other (aka not natted seperately [05:39] the FTP and SSH is on same server [05:39] lsv: yes ...i just sat on it damn bastard stop leaving it lying around [05:39] but i can not get ahold of any files or anything [05:40] hi all whats my script problem : http://paste.debian.net/118636/ [05:40] CFC: ...can you not provide useless statements and answer the questions..before i commit suicide trying to help you [05:40] cellthunder: hahahahahaha [05:40] celthunder: sorry about that [05:40] hot damn: http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/ <-- lets see if I can boot one of their 9.04 images [05:40] im sorry for that outburst....but that was kinda funny [05:40] ohh same network ye [05:41] ok one final time, if a package install freezes and i have all these hanging process how can i kill them [05:41] fission6: killall [05:41] fission6: or pgrep and pass it along to kill -9 [05:41] doesn't work, well maybe i am doing the wrong killall [05:42] kill -9 then...idk what killall sends by default as i generally try not to use it... kill -9 pretty much forces it to die... [05:42] lsv: lol i was jokin with ya... [05:42] dantheman73: no, quite contrary, I think you can get it to work but explaining each step to you over irc for a process I have not performed before on a machine that could be in an unknown configuration, well, thats what I mean by not simple [05:42] hmm they are on same network but i dont know if they connect with each other [05:43] CFC: do you have icmp disabled/blocked on either one via firewall? if not try ping / traceroute... [05:43] dantheman73: unfornately "how do I get my ipod to work" I am afraid is not going to be a simple matter of just run these couple of commands and it should just work [05:43] oh i see rabbitmq has a bunch of processesing running as the user rabbitmq, how can i kill all those? [05:43] CFC: is the firewall open for ssh (22)? to find out by typing sudo ufw status [05:43] celthunder: i knew that.. thanks for finding it :D [05:44] IcemanV9: he said it was earlier i asked him [05:44] there has to been a more sane approach then ps -ef | grep rabbitmq and killing them one by one [05:44] status inactiv [05:44] fission6: uhm one sec [05:44] ok [05:44] plus I am going into hour 5 of working on restoring this server so I don't have more than cursory attention available [05:44] i am using htop, i thought killing the parent based on the tree view would work but it didnt [05:44] ok celthunder [05:45] sabiancrash: oh ok thanks, my bad if i was expecting too much. [05:45] honestly i think im gonna go back to windows [05:45] how can one make a fat16 partition? [05:45] CFC: ping the server like celthunder said earlier [05:45] linux is a bit faster but its really quite worthless since its not compatible with anything [05:45] fission6: pkill -u [05:45] how do i know which uid to use? [05:45] sorry [05:46] dantheman73: you're not compatible with anything...ipods are the least compatible with anything...and both are quite a bit worth less than linux [05:46] fission6: the one of the user with all the processes [05:46] what was the command for that now [05:46] CFC: ping [05:46] cell thunder: haha dont be rude man. Look you gotta see this from my perspective; [05:46] dantheman73: Let me just say this. Its apple's business strategy to support only a closed garden of environments. Breaking out of that garden is fun for the initiated but daunting to the unexperienced....BY DESIGN. If you really want linux compatibility, I would get an device that will natively support being placed into mass storage mode [05:47] fission6: echo $UID shows the current users uid...also should be listed in /etc/passwd... i'm sure theres other ways [05:47] is any ip good? [05:47] everytime i try and download an app from ubuntu i get that "dependency" issue and it wont work, and the one thing that i actually use my computer for (ipod) wont work. I guess linux is cool if your into programing and coding and stuff, but im not a computer-savy person. [05:47] CFC:....are you deliberately trying to kill us...use the one of your server [05:48] CFC: no. the ip address of the server that you tried to ssh/ftp [05:48] dantheman73: dependency issue? [05:48] ok let me try thanks [05:48] package management <> dependency issue .. hmmm .. [05:48] dantheman73: my girlfriend has no idea about computers and uses ubuntu as her main OS, she has no idea that its a leet hacker thing [05:48] i wasnt trying to insult anyone, im just saying that ubuntu seems a bit impractical...it seems much harder to use for me thats all. Im sorry if i offended. [05:49] there's things os x doesn't play with well [05:49] and there's things windows doesn't play with well [05:49] dantheman73: could you say a little more about what this dependency issue you have is [05:49] sabian: yes im aware apple is infamous for locking their devices. its unfortunate and quite irratating. but i cant go out and buy a new device thats compatible with linux....i dont have that kind of $ [05:49] dantheman73: its not a problem. it just doesn't have enough of a userbase for all commercial companies especially those with their own OS they are trying to push, to support [05:49] that seemed to work thanks celthunder - i really need to learn process management it just never makes sense to me in linux [05:49] says 64 byte [05:49] how to close out all processes or find whats running [05:49] sabian: thanks and yes i agree. [05:50] CFC: packet loss? or did they get responses [05:50] fission6: ps auxf [05:50] dantheman73: also i'm pretty sure the ipod is supported [05:50] yea i know but that takes some digging through too and then to kill things - i dont know just is a hairy operation [05:50] dantheman73: I suggest running sudo apt-get -f install [05:50] fission6: man ps man pgrep and man kill and following the recommended ones at the bottom are a good place to start for process management also useful is nice and renice [05:50] tensor pudding: whenever i try and download anything (amarok for example) i get an error msg that says "package dependencies cannot be resolved" [05:50] Linux sets you free; Free to shoot yourself and your operating system!! [05:51] thanks [05:51] dantheman73: can you be more specific about what happened? screenshot? [05:51] how do i show ps auxf and page through it, the results are to be and get cut off [05:51] I just shot mine; I killed Unity [05:51] sure. how do i put a screenshot into this chat box thought? [05:51] seems like they get responce [05:51] w30: rm -rf / is always fun :) (provided /home isn't mounted) [05:51] all software has issues, the lines at the genius bar and geeksquad are perfect examples [05:51] and sabian thanks for your help and commentary. il try that command now. [05:51] Trying to live boot ubuntu, but it never gets past the Ubuntu .... loading screen. When I press Delete, it says "Unable to open '/dev/sda'". Why would it want to open my hard drive for a live boot? [05:51] it hyst continues pinging [05:51] CFC: ok that's good... [05:52] just* [05:52] dantheman73: you can put it on imagebin.org [05:52] like any technology.....look at the number of people outside the oilchange place, changing your own oil is not hard but most people don't have a clue [05:52] is it okay to have more than 1 hostname entry in /etc/hostname? how does that work? such as www.sometie.com and 127.0.0.1 [05:52] sabiancrash_cgx: lol i suck at cars and even i can do it... [05:52] um, don't put 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hostname [05:52] tensorpudding: okay just give me one second [05:53] fission6: you mean /etc/hosts right... [05:53] right [05:53] i want to remove 2 directories and I user: rm -rf {temp, personal} [05:53] which is fine but when you need to get service or knowledge you don't have, it generally costs money [05:53] it doesn't work [05:53] * sabiancrash_cgx goes back to grub hell [05:53] fission6: then yes...put as many as you want it's for your use [05:53] how do i stop the pinging x.x [05:53] CFC: ctrl+c to stop ping if you haven't done already [05:53] robinsch: do you have permissions [05:53] yes [05:53] ahh ^^ [05:54] how does it work though, i dont understand, like i think rabbitmq isn't working because of this issue, http://www.rabbitmq.com/ec2.html host name section [05:54] can i use that syntax? [05:54] celthunder, seardh for rm -rf / on youtube for fun videos [05:54] i get no error etc [05:54] CFC: did you get "0% packet loss" ? [05:54] oh i see there is host and hostname? celthunder [05:54] robinsch: why don't you just delete one at a time? [05:55] yes [05:55] w30: lol yeah i do it all the time when i'm bored and don't mind rebuilding...unmount /home and ...go nuts...also fun is writing stuff to the framebuffer [05:55] fission6: yes /etc/hosts is what you want [05:55] ok [05:55] lsv it is a question in my unix textbook [05:55] tensorpudding: ok its uploaded to imagebin [05:55] just look at the most recent, you'll recognize it [05:55] robinsch: aaaa... [05:55] is that good or bad =/ ? [05:55] CFC: ok good now use openssl to connect or ssh -vvvv does it show any more details [05:55] i don't know when i will ever need this [05:55] CFC: good [05:55] how does an app like rabbitmq pick up on the proper hosts if there are many entries, maybe thats my question [05:56] robinsch: we don't answer your homework... [05:56] dantheman73: odd [05:56] robinsch: try man bash for info [05:56] :/ [05:56] CFC: it's good. is the ssh daemon running on the server? [05:56] fission6: what's rabbit mq [05:56] im useing windows on my main computer [05:56] dantheman73: do you have any odd PPA's set [05:56] its a ququing system [05:56] robinsch: skim through it, don't read the whole thing [05:56] CFC: then use telnet [05:56] ok [05:57] but how do i get known ice? [05:57] but its having trouble resolving the host? http://www.rabbitmq.com/ec2.html my issue is "Issues with hostname" in this section [05:57] dantheman73: I suggest running sudo apt-get -f install [05:57] lsv it is kind of big [05:57] fission6: ok one moment [05:57] hey, i fucked up something in mi ubuntu, i get "... is not in the sudoers list..." [05:57] it wants me to echo "127.0.0.1 rabbit" >> /etc/hosts celthunder but i dont see how rabbitmq knows to pick up on it [05:57] CFC: type: ls /var/run/ssh* [05:57] dantheman73: that version of amarok isn't the one in the standard repos, i don't think [05:57] fission6: lol it's system wide ... [05:58] CFC: if it's there, then you should be able to ssh via putty [05:58] i am confused though how rabbitmq parses this file and uses it [05:58] fission6: ok open up that file /etc/hosts... the first line should be 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [05:58] fission6: if it's NOT change it to that and then add rabbit to it [05:58] it is [05:58] tensor: haha yea it happens with legit almost every app i try and get. and Im not sure what you mean by "odd PPAs", sorry. and i just ran that sudo apt-get -f install thing....now what? [05:58] robinsch: I'll read and see if I find anything [05:58] fission6: no...it's what the network uses...if you ping rabbit it hsould return 127.0.0.1 [05:58] lsv, i didn't see much [05:58] and if thats not the regular amarok where can i get it? iv tried everywhere, including a google search [05:58] dantheman73: what was the output when you ran that on the terminal [05:58] oh ok well this is the first line "127.0.0.1 localhost" [05:58] fission6: if you added google.com to the list with an ip you could direct all traffic to a different ip that's mean for google.com [05:59] hello all. Just started to migrate from Windows7 to Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm running into problems copying files off the old ntfs partitions. I get "Error splicing file: Input/output error" [05:59] fission6: change it to localhost.localdomain localhost rabbit [05:59] dantheman73: can you open your /etc/apt/sources.list file and put it on a pastebin?

[06:39] yes [06:39] still no glxinfo [06:39] j0el0g: there is but syn-ack is misleading you. ignore him [06:39] bah [06:39] I wasn't trolling nor misleading, I just wasn't paying attention. [06:40] j0el0g: / is your root directory. and that's where you moved the file. you wanted to acutally use ~/ as ActionParsnip told you [06:40] j0el0g: look in the root of your filesystem. If the command you showed is what you ran then it will be there [06:40] j0el0g: and you are not supposed to use sudo while copying or moving files inside your home directory. bad habit and very very dangerous since a small typo like yours can erase your whole system [06:41] celthunder: true but technically every question could be responded to in that way...

[07:24] any advice === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [07:25] rkirian: is it a ubuntu kernel? [07:25] Andyman: config.log and config.status will probably have some info as to what configure -- options were included [07:25] rkirian: and what raid card is this? [07:25] wols_: linux kernel [07:25] Andyman: for GSTM for example, config.log has "$ ./configure --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --infodir=${prefix}/ share/info" [07:26] wols_: high point "rocket raid" [07:27] thanks for all help =3 [07:27] wols_: crappy raid card, driver won't work with any other kernel [07:27] ihashacks: I already found it in debian/rules. I can't find the files you mentioned in the apt-source I just downloaded for nginx [07:27] if i need more ill come back [07:27] rkirian: so it's not a kernel you got from ubuntu but compiled yourself? [07:28] wols_: no, I just installed an older version of ubunter server which had this kernel [07:28] Hello. Can someone help me with a problem I've having with PlayOnLinux? I need to get Internet Explorer running in Ubuntu 11.04 ... === foo_ is now known as f00 [07:28] wols_: would be great if I can just upgrade software while keeping same kernel, just wondering if this is a possibility [07:29] I have Intel HD integrated audio (snd-hda-intel) but I also have a SoundBlaster Live! Value (snd-emu10k1). Which should I use? [07:29] rkirian: what kernel version. uname -a [07:30] rkirian: and what is the PCI ID of the rocket raid kernel? [07:30] wols_: Linux xfel1 2.6.28-11-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:45:36 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [07:30] what do you prefer, androidx86 or damn small linux? [07:30] When I run PlayonLinux, it just hangs when it is downloading updates ... I don't really know if it's progressing or not, because just hangs for quite a while ... [07:30] alvinPH: ask #linux please. this is a #ubuntu only channel [07:31] wew, sorry for that.. [07:31] Any suggestions? [07:31] I have Intel HD integrated audio (snd-hda-intel) but I also have a SoundBlaster Live! Value (snd-emu10k1). Which should I use? I can't hear any difference in sound quality. [07:31] rkirian: you will probably get problems pretty soon with udev :( why can't you use linux software raid instead of the crappy rocket raid? [07:31] cheapie: SB Live [07:32] How do I get Internet Explorer to run in Ubuntu 11.04. How would I do this with Wine? [07:32] wols_: OK. That's what I thought. Thanks! [07:32] mlmg317-himts: Why? [07:32] mlmg317-himts: as http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=25 shows, you effectively can't [07:33] i'm sure this is now a valid question, :D how can i download an ISO of ubuntu using FTP client like Uget or filezilla? [07:35] wols_: don't know how to use software raid, but can look into it. do you think there is not a way to keep an existing kernel, while still using apt-get to update software? [07:35] apt-get purge nvidia-current almost worked [07:35] wols_: I just want to install gitosis [07:36] rkirian: there is. archive.ubuntu.com instead of your current repository. but as I said: more and more security holes [07:36] and older and older software [07:36] alvinPH: use a webbrowser instead or wget: http://releases.ubuntu.com//natty/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso [07:37] I was just looking over Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) and wondered, if I'm otherwise running firestarter is it too old to be of use? http://www.fs-security.com/ [07:37] alvinPH: but if you insist on ftp: http://www.cyberciti.biz/files/ubuntu-8.10-dvd-iso-ftphttp-list.php [07:37] wols_, i'm back. nearly broke everything but i got back to square 1 [07:38] mlmg317-himts: you might be able to get IE running on to of wine, but it will involve getting a lot of depepdencies installed first, then tweak thnings around for hours etc. i'm also not aware of any tutorial. i think your best option is using virtualization such as virtualbox. [07:38] wols_: does this mean to point /etc/apt/sources.list to some older repositories? [07:38] wols_: dloding via web browser only sucks, i want a quite faster process. like internet download manager in MS. [07:39] rkirian: different repositories. same version (jaunty) of ubuntu [07:39] alvinPH: I just gave you a list of ftp mirrors with dozens of ftp servers [07:39] alvinPH: and http is as fast as ftp btw. all download managers can do ftp and http both [07:39] wols_: ok, I'll try to figure things out from here. thanks. [07:39] I think the nvidia drivers are breaking glx/unity on my intel card [07:40] when i did apt-get purge nvidia-current it wouldn't boot. I just had a mouse and was at the ubuntu loading screen for like 20 mins [07:40] alvinPH: you can use JDownloader as well [07:40] i am using plowshare =) is a CLI downloader [07:40] Any good serial programs that you all know ? Other than Cutecom and minicom ? I need it to be included in a script ! [07:41] alvinPH: ftp://ftp.tcc.edu.tw/iso/Ubuntu/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso [07:41] gskellig: now why would you have nvidia drivers installed when you only have intel hardware? [07:41] i have an nvidia card as well [07:41] two graphics cards in my laptop [07:41] gskellig: optimus doesn't work very well/at all under linux [07:42] I don't want optimus [07:42] brown_fern: both are just frontends to iptables and iptables is still in oneiric + natty so your chances are firestarter still works. [07:42] just want to disable nvidia and use intel [07:42] curiousx: how can i install jdownloader? [07:43] alvinPH: you get a java jre and then go to jdownload.org and install it [07:43] *jdownloader.org I think rather [07:43] Iron: is there any special reason you are sending private messages to people out of the blue? [07:43] alvinPH: waith a minit i ill tell you how [07:44] wols_: alright, thank u very much to both of you! :D [07:45] tomreyn: thank you, I enjoy how easy firestarter is to setup as a frontend to iptables, but wasn't sure if its code was current enough that it didn't cause a problem itself. [07:45] alvinPH: being a java applcation, jdownloader eats quite a bit of RAM, though. I'd suggest you use pyLoad instead to download from sile upload service websites which require entering captchas. but i'm nit even sure this was what you asked about. [07:45] tomreyn: thanks again for the information. === eliezer is now known as eliezer_ [07:46] brown_fern: i have not used either so far, so i really can't know for sure. and iptables is a moving target (though backwards compatble for the most) [07:46] on Wubi, i had nvidia card disabled and unity working perfectly on my intel GMA x4500 [07:47] brown_fern: but still the fact that both are included in natty makes me think both will work [07:47] tomreyn: it's alright about RAM usage coz i'm running Xubuntu.. and as we all know linux uses quite small ram right/ [07:47] on "normal" ubuntu, I think the nvidia drivers are breaking glx/unity on the intel card [07:47] tomreyn: that is good to know, maybe I should be looking for iptables information and not just information on firestarter. [07:47] but removing the nvidia drivers makes ubuntu not boot [07:47] brown_fern: you could check bug reports to make sure [07:47] alvinPH: here are the commands ---> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install jdownloader [07:51] !errors | gskellig [07:51] gskellig: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message [07:51] there is no error it just won't start [07:52] i dont know why it wont boot, i cant see a terminal so i can't see whats breaking [07:53] * wols_ curses the stupidly set up kernel parameters of ubuntu [07:53] =\ [07:53] alvinPH: I still recommned you also look into http://pyload.org/ ;-) [07:54] how can I view a document in 'ePub' format? [07:55] wols_, here are the errors of unity --replace http://pastebin.com/BYJftqe7 [07:55] more GLX issues [07:56] gskellig: Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. and you are running on 1:0 so there is already another X session running [07:56] hi! [07:56] i want to ask about Ubuntu server [07:56] how do i switch? [07:57] gskellig: first you stop your 1:0 server/session [07:57] how do i do that? [07:57] and ctrl+alt+Fx to switch between terminals/sessions [07:58] you close the current X session [07:58] tomreyn: what's that pyload all about? [07:58] alvinPH: a downloader like jdownloader but using less ressources [07:58] hey, im trying to set up software raid on a comp. just need to know what filesystem /boot needs to be, or does it not matter? [07:58] okay [07:58] ahh, i see wait, i will test for jdownloader.. thanks to curiousx [07:59] JayWalker_: just don't put /boot on the raid. usually ext2 or ext3 is used [07:59] only appears to be one running [07:59] gskellig: sudo ps aux |grep X [07:59] i read in the ubuntu guide that /boot can be raid as long as it's raid 1 (so it's just redundant, rather than striped) [07:59] pfifo: fbreader or calibre [07:59] JayWalker_: sure. the bootloader ignores raid1 altogether.so making it raid1 is pointless [08:00] Is here any person from Italy? [08:00] test [08:00] well i've already got it setup that way. so leaving it raid 1 will make no difference? and all should be well? [08:01] okay I see two but i can only get to one [08:02] Iron: are you looking for #ubuntu-it ? [08:02] http://pastebin.com/rhNLw7JC [08:02] yes [08:03] Iron: so just use this IRC command: /join #ubuntu-it [08:03] ack, that was odd [08:03] just restarted x by itself === x_ is now known as bourne [08:03] haai [08:04] curiousx: why is jdownloader updating and so slow ? [08:04] Haai [08:05] JayWalker_: yes you can have /boot/ on a md raid1 [08:05] hi [08:06] why is ubuntu having so many issues with this? it worked perfectly with both wubi, and randomly a different time I installed 11.04 [08:07] tomreyn: but what's the point? [08:07] I must do the homework in italian language . Could you help me digital1? [08:07] ugh [08:07] do gtk3+ obey different font rendering rules????? [08:08] wols_: that he does not need to reconfigure his block device layers [08:08] I have installed ubuntu 10.10 with windows 7 but after reboot i don't see grub but start only w7 [08:08] thanks tomreyn [08:09] digital1, did you tell ubuntu not to install grub/mbr [08:09] is there anyone here that will help me get glx/unity working? [08:09] tomreyn: how can the bootloader deal with raid volumes? and why is it hard to add an fstab entry with /dev/sda1 for boot, why does it have to be a raid entry? [08:10] i have installed boot loader in partition / [08:11] digital1: that's the problem. you either need to install it to your MBR /dev/sda or such, or you need to add an entry to your windows 7 bootloader (easybcd for example) that loads your /dev/sdaX grub bootloader [08:11] to format or adjust? [08:12] what do you mean? [08:12] adjust, if it's possible === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [08:12] I just told you what you need to "adjust". two alternatives you can choose from [08:13] i want adjust [08:13] !it [08:13] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [08:14] wols_: there's a 'raid' module for grub2. that's how grub2 can deal with md raid. It's probably not too tough to add an fstab entry for /dev/sda1 (tough it depends much on the person doing it). But if he currently has a md RAID1 configuration he would have to go through some more steps to remove the mirror RAID device layer above /boot which he currently has in place to convert it to just a partition and file system on top of that. [08:14] repeating my last sentence since it likely got cut off: But if he currently has a md RAID1 configuration he would have to go through some more steps to remove the mirror RAID device layer above /boot which he currently has in place to convert it to just a partition and file system on top of that. [08:14] digital1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from the LiveCD [08:15] ahm didn't know grub can deal with raid now [08:15] I don't know if i have grub or grub 2 [08:15] digital1: 10.10 comes with grub 2 [08:16] ok [08:16] digital1: you have to install grub to the mbr in order to see it at boot [08:16] semitones: not realy. several other methods are possible. like setting the bootflag on the partition grub is installed on [08:17] if i want to boot from cd, can i just burn the image? [08:17] zafr: yes [08:17] zafr: burn as image too [08:17] ok i understand, but i can adjust this or i format always === Aplomado is now known as Gskellig [08:17] Hey..Please suggest me a good book to learn BaSH shell scripting...:) [08:17] wols_: i thought windows partitions need the boot flag or they don't work [08:17] semitones: not if they are chainloaded by grub [08:18] Would the LTS versions be better for having a machine to just run backups and serv music, photos , so on over the network ?

I don't know [08:20] zafr: I don't know all the burn programs in existence so I doubt all can :) [08:20] semitones: i format with boot loader in hd where i have partition ext4? [08:20] is bootable usb still work in ubuntu? [08:20] you don't format digital1 [08:20] i can boot the ubuntu using unetbootin [08:20] zafr: yes [08:20] semitones: ok, [08:20] just reinstall grub to the mbr with the command "grub-install" [08:20] it should be on the guide there [08:21] semitones: ah, I was just wondering so I didn't have a junk ton of updates to get after it's installed (I'm on a capped internet besides the hours of 1-6 AM) [08:21] i boot from usb and it ends with blackscreen [08:21] theres some words on it [08:22] i have need help for this action [08:22] Name141: use a cronjob to update at 1am then :) [08:22] Name141: understood. ubuntu.com will probably give you the most updated .iso if you download from there [08:23] semitones: i reboot windows 7 and work with ubuntu live-cd, you help me for grub? [08:23] digital1: sure thing === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [08:24] tnks [08:24] wols_: I'm assuming I'd have to use roots crontab [08:24] i boot from usb and it ends with blackscreen with some word on it... copyright (person`s name) 19**-2011... something like that [08:24] Name141: check out apt-cron === Cain` is now known as Cain [08:25] Name141: mea culpa, cron-apt rather [08:25] semitones: it still shows up as 10.04.

[08:35] its a dedicated server, so the LAN IP is the same as it's external IP [08:35] a dedi in a data center* [08:36] there was another command, not ifconfig [08:36] that displayed just four lines of text [08:36] cant remember it [08:36] it had the gateway listed [08:36] Name141: it used to be that it would install the updated packages, but I'm not sure if it does in natty (I seem to remember it not working -- i spent a long time configuring ndiswrapper, and then the intalled system didn't it installed) [08:36] gueriLLaPunK: i suggested two commands, 'ip' and 'ifconfig' [08:36] Name141: it's possible someone else here knows for sure, it might have just been me [08:36] Hi ppl Im trying to upgrade to anything past 9.04 using upgrade tool, doesnt seem to work, do I need to download an ISO ? im using a really poor conection so, Im looking for options, can I get a friend to download an ISO of 10/11.whatever for me and use that ?

(I'm starting ubuntu gnome classic with effects) [08:43] but why on xubuntu 11.04 it's no sweat? maybe the lightweightness of xubuntu does it. .:D [08:43] my guess is you need to install to /dev/sda [08:43] semitones: in sda7 i have installed ubuntu (swap+/) and boot loader [08:44] Howdy, Xorg spits out error messages that it can't load NVIDIA module (http://paste.ubuntu.com/616475/), however it is loaded and X starts (http://paste.ubuntu.com/616476/) [08:44] I wonder what's going on [08:45] Urgent question: I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on a laptop with wireless- up until recently anything related to network connectivity was fine. I am now using the laptop with wireless at home, and working well, the same applies for school. BUT, when I take my laptop to my summer house, I can connect to the wireless network, but not much else, pings tell me "destination host unreachable" and I cant even view the the routers config web app by using 192.168.1.1 - I tr [08:45] ied search the internet but found nothing related. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. [08:45] i'm just wondering why it took only less than 5 mins when i installed xubuntu, the installation window didn't even said that the installation was finished [08:45] semitones: i how can make this? [08:46] hm. democratic... yeah... >_< [08:46] digital1: ok, can you follow the guide here to install grub to sda? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from the LiveCD [08:46] ok i try [08:46] i can help you if you have any questions [08:46] <[deXter]> ric000, Was the signal strength strong enough? [08:46] semitones: ok, tnks [08:46] np [08:46] d3vlin: X seems to trigger the module being loadd, then realizes it it not working, and stops using it. check what dmesg says. [08:47] semitones: acc, is al in english [08:47] [deXter], yes, the signal strength is good, it connects immedietely (I even tried with wires connection) [08:47] all [08:47] how can we submit suggestions or comments direct to the concerned developers? [08:47] [deXter], and all other laptops work at mu summer house, just not mine with Ubuntu [08:47] digital1: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-it [08:48] <[deXter]> ric000, did you try it with some other OS as well on your laptop? [08:48] i only speak english too [08:48] [deXter], yes, with other OS's everything is fine [08:48] <[deXter]> ric000, Also, some configurations have problems with certain types of encryption, or channels. [08:48] semitones: they sleeping now. [08:48] [deXter], Even if connected via wired connection (eth0)? [08:49] [deXter], directly to the ADSL model [08:49] <[deXter]> ric000, You mean it didn't work even when you plugged in directly? [08:49] semitones: I don't want lost windows 7, if you help me ok , or i format and adjust [08:49] hello, I can't listen nothing when the Keyboard Preferences>Audio Feedback > Beep when a key is pressed is enabled ,is it a gnome bug ? (I'm starting ubuntu gnome classic with effects) [08:50] i'll help you, but i'm just going over the commands in the guide [08:50] [deXter], no, funny thing - I have the same service provider both at home and my summer house (both ADSL).... all laptops work @ summer house with different OS's, my laptop works with another OS.... and just recently, I can connect and get an internal IP address, but nothing else. [08:50] [deXter], this happens both using wireless and wired, directly to modem, or using router. Same issues [08:50] digital1: are you on the live cd now? [08:50] yes [08:52] Greetings Comrades! [08:52] and does "df -h" show that /dev/sda7 is mounted as "/" ? [08:52] <[deXter]> ric000, Have you tried booting from a clean live cd/usb? [08:53] ric000: you need to check logs and error message in your summer house to see why it doesn't work. otherwise, this is all simply guesswork and our crystalball was stolen by trolls recently [08:53] [deXter], Will try that [08:53] wols_, I understand, but it does not make any sence [08:54] quick q - is it possible to upgrade Ubuntu (Server) to a specific version using do-release-upgrade? Need to jump from 9.04 to 9.10 but can't find a way to do it? [08:54] semitones: I doubt it does. after all, he's on the live cd [08:55] wols_: he said it did earlier, i just wanted to confirm [08:55] oh yeha [08:55] IcyPolecat: you simply edit your sources.list to 9.10 and upgrade [08:55] never mind [08:55] * semitones sleeps now [08:55] semitones: better tell him about chroot and such. good luck [08:55] semitones: good night [08:55] night wols :) [08:56] wols_: so just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get dist-upgrade? [08:56] IcyPolecat: however, 9.10 is already EOL too. archive.ubuntu.com still has repos howeverIIRC [08:56] (the grub 2 guide has methods easier than chroot too) [08:56] IcyPolecat: the usual mirrors don't have 9.04 nor 9.10 anymore [08:57] Hi, ever tried to make a screenshot with GIMP in Ubuntu 11.04? I always get the standard desktop background only. [08:57] wols_: yeah I just need to get back onto an active upgrade path to reach an LTS release - a couple of our servers are a little ... behind [08:57] hello [08:57] IcyPolecat: as I said: archive.ubuntu.com [08:58] i can't find php5-pdo from apt [08:58] wols_: great thanks! [08:58] IcyPolecat: and this time, stay with a LTS release :) [08:58] how to get ? [08:58] tomreyn: here's everything nvidia related from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616482/ [08:58] it seems to load the module in the end [08:58] wols_: yeah yeah ... would you believe this server was never meant to go into production ;) [08:59] zertyu: you sure it's not already integrated into normal php5 packages? [08:59] dont know how to check ? [09:00] zertyu: http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.connections.php you try one of those examples and see if you get errors [09:00] how can i integrate jdownloader to take ober downloads? [09:00] zertyu: I'm very sure it's already built into php [09:01] alvinPH: depends on the browser [09:01] Why does the system control show a much higher cpu use than the command top in a terminal? [09:01] i'm using firefox [09:01] yo someone plz private chat me? [09:01] idk how to do anything lol [09:02] ok thanks wols_ [09:02] alvinPH: options - applications [09:02] petrolman, I think top only shows resources of one cpu at a time, refer to the manual and see if there are options to give more details [09:02] hey guys how do you private chat someone? [09:03] garyboy: /msg [09:03] pfifo, I pressed 1 for all cpus in top, all cpus are lower than the cpu display in the system control [09:04] garyboy, if you are on xchat for example. right click their nick and click open dialog window [09:04] i did harddisk [09:04] then type in the window and you will start a private chat with that person. [09:04] k thx [09:05] is irc private chat with people recorded? [09:05] when i add keyboard layout with numpad in ubuntu . my numpad disables ... [09:05] why? [09:05] TbHack, if they choose to log, yes [09:05] petrolman, im not sure what the issue is, could be several things [09:05] IcyPolecat: for an alternative option, you could run a cdrom upgrade. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD [09:05] when i add keyboard layout with numpad in ubuntu . my numpad disabled ... ! [09:05] HardDisk o [09:05] HardDisk ok [09:05] TbHack, anything you write can be logged. [09:06] HardDisk: I guess that's the fate of being online [09:06] lol [09:06] TbHack: the people partaking in the private chat and the irc servers can log. the freenode servers don't as far as we all know [09:07] TbHack: if you do a dcc chat, only the people in that private chat can record === kyle___ is now known as kv102t [09:07] mah454, you may have accidentally enabled mousekeys, if the numbers are moving the mouse cursor, press shift+num lock, to disable it [09:07] TbHack: and last but not least you can encrypt your irc sessions. e.g. you can connect to freenode via TLS [09:08] d3vlin: the module is being loaded several seconds before X starts and realizes that it "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module" [09:08] trying to install ubuntu 10.4 on a hardware array. but no disks are visable.. [09:08] d3vlin: anything related in /var/log/kern.log ? [09:08] how to change gnome login theme ? [09:09] pishguy: ubuntu tweak?

I don't know then [09:12] d3vlin: which ubuntu version are you on and what's the output f this command, when run in a terminal? lspci -knnv | fgrep -B1 -A10 VGA [09:13] captainjamie: in tweak -> login setting ? [09:14] yeah I think [09:14] captainjamie: i can only change background and icon. === family is now known as Vladislas [09:15] Oh right. That's what I meant. I don't know then. I've got to go, I'm off on holiday now, good luck! === OK is now known as Guest586 [09:17] Hey which is the Channel for C programmers in Ubuntu... [09:18] Does anyone know how I can set a kernel boot parameter permanently, such as setting 'noapic' in Ubuntu Natty? I can't find the how to on the wiki for Natty. [09:20] Su22, what are you looking for exactly? [09:20] Ash-Fox: edit /etc/default/grub and add it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, then run update-grub [09:21] tomaw, oh thank you. I was going crazy looking for menu.lst and baffled by /etc/grub.d :) [09:21] Su22: I think its ##C === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [09:23] DJones, Su22, actually ##C isnt that great for some stuff. === seele0x is now known as Wolfgang [09:27] Su-22:I only found "#ubuntu-programming." [09:27] Does anybody know how to manually establish a PPP connection over USB (/dev/ttyUSB0) to a Windows CE device using pppd? [09:33] my harddrive is also called my "file system" right? [09:34] garyboy, in lamens terms, but technically theres a big difference [09:36] tomreyn: I am running Natty 11.04 x64, here's the output of your lspci query: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616503/ [09:37] hey i have a problem and need some help/advice [09:37] kern.log has the same info dmesg had [09:38] im all of a sudden getting bsod from win7 64 bit, is there a way to trouble shoot and possibly repair the problem from ubuntu? [09:38] glitchd: I doubt it, you're probably better asking in ##windows [09:38] ok how do i join that room then? [09:38] slash join #windows? [09:39] glitchd: They might be able to talk you through how to troubleshoot, type "/join ##windows" [09:39] thxthx [09:40] hi [09:40] the windows answer is format, restore from backup, (don't do THAT again) [09:40] fyi [09:41] im a fedora fan that just installed ubuntu 11.04 [09:41] * VICODAN feels pretty ashamed [09:41] somebody hold me === [1]Mallowcheeks is now known as Mallowcheeks [09:42] how to change gnome login theme ?

What would be the best approach to this? [09:45] copy the hard drive [09:46] axle3d, rsync === earth is now known as Guest23052 [09:46] axle3d: make sure the target harddisk is at least the size of the source, then do a dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb from a liveCD where sda is source and sdb is target [09:47] rsync copies system settings too? [09:47] well ubuntu is more of a partition [09:47] axle3d: clonezilla [09:48] .... [09:48] or if you want different partition sizes on your new drive, do the dd for each partition (i.e. dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1) [09:48] just use paragon partition manager [09:48] and copy the hard disk [09:48] easy as pie [09:50] new hard disk already has another OS on it and space for the clone i want to make. I was thinking of mounting the partition and doing a copy file by file to the new hard disk? [09:50] * prabhu hi [09:50] axle3d, rsync will work much faster than dd and is resumable [09:50] * prabhu hi [09:50] prabhu: you said that [09:50] VICODAN: he said "over network" paragon does over network? [09:50] hi! [09:50] axle3d: you could boot from a livecd and use "cp" with the -ax flags [09:51] i know on the opensource field is cloneilla who does. [09:51] ikonia @ iam testing the commends [09:51] pfifo, the problem is, how should i mount the new hard disk over network. on windows i would use smb, but linux 2 linux? [09:52] Hi [09:52] axle3d: google clonezilla [09:52] prabhu: please don't test in this channel [09:52] axle3d: use sftp [09:53] @ikonia k i will go for some other [09:55] axle3d, use the `mount` command [09:55] any polish user ? [09:55] how do i eject on xp? [09:55] garyboy: ask the guys in ##windows [09:55] without using the button? and no disk in the drive [09:55] if i leave this chat can i keep my private chats open? [09:56] dzup, clonezilla not on ppa? [09:56] garyboy: I don't know, depends on your client. /join ##windows and try it [09:57] axle3d: is a complete different history, but you can download de tarball and doit your self in any linux, see elso "g4u" is another opensource cloner based in openbsd [09:58] !automount [09:58] Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [09:59] !ntfs [09:59] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [10:00] d3vlin: sorry I got sidetracked there. have you tried noveau? [10:00] nouveau [10:01] anyone knows a .deb that automount ntfs partitions at boot? [10:01] tomreyn: nvidia-current actually works fine for me, it's just that these complaints show up in xorg log [10:01] how come when i put hiron disk in i cant boot? :S [10:01] doesnt give me the option [10:01] d3vlin: oh i didn't get this, i assumed it just falls back to vesa. [10:01] and how do i go to windows chat? [10:02] garyboy: that's nothing to do with ubuntu [10:02] lsmod shows the nvidia module loaded [10:02] im on a windows computer [10:02] garyboy: /join ##windows is the command [10:02] but xorg complains it didn't [10:02] k thank you ikonia [10:02] garyboy: yes, this channel is for ubuntu support only [10:02] lol [10:02] d3vlin: just because the kernel loaded the module does not mean that X is using it [10:02] google.com = windows support [10:02] uptime 17:00:14 up 7 days, 17:20, 2 users, load average: 0.68, 0.34, 0.22 [10:02] quit [10:02] lotuspsychje: no, but you could edit /etc/fstab [10:03] d3vlin: my bet is it is using nouveau as a fallback. [10:03] xcode [10:03] lotuspsychje: it's simple [10:03] #xcode [10:03] joel135: what should i add in fstab exactly? [10:03] lotuspsychje: that depends on what you want to mount [10:03] tomreyn: here's the full xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616521/ === root is now known as Guest84064 [10:04] lotuspsychje: install gparted first to check the partition number etc [10:05] joel135: then add them under sw, /dev/fd0 [10:06] joel135: ok tnx for support mate [10:06] d3vlin: why are you using "nomodeset"? [10:06] do u know the command for osx support? [10:07] hj [10:07] tomreyn: nothing specific [10:08] d3vlin: does the nvidia module work in this configuration at all? [10:09] yeah it actually does, it shows in nvidia settings tool in unity [10:10] d3vlin: i see, then i really don't know. maybe the Xorg log file you uploaded is an old one, since this clearly looks like a failed X startup [10:10] could be of a secondary screen, too, which doesn't come up [10:11] anyway, if there's no problem, then i'd just keep it as it is. and i've got to run now (sorry). [10:11] it's the last Xorg log, i.e. Xorg.0.log (also checked the date) [10:11] ok, tnx anyhow [10:11] maco:thx [10:11] (way back):P [10:12] Is it ok if from esxi VM ubuntu desktop I just installed the tools by running "sudo apt-get install open.vm.toolbox"?

[10:22] chrome was working well last week but suddenly it stop working [10:22] AmberJ: then it's awfully shitty software since it needs ubuntu with known security exploits. avoid this opennebula crap like the plague [10:22] how to uninstall what was installed via apt-get install? what is the command? [10:22] !hardy [10:22] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [10:22] I will use aptitude only, its able to generate a clean searchlist. "aptitude search jdk" lists all packages matching jdk. I wondered why synaptic and apt-get always lists packages that have nothing to do with your entered keyword [10:22] AmberJ, it can be updates and still be a "clean install" [10:22] shamess: update to 10.04 LTS [10:22] I need to uninstall vmware tools that was installed using "sudo apt-get install open-vm-toolbox" [10:22] linux_hacks: the desktop is not displayed properly [10:22] linux_hacks: i dont know how to explain [10:22] jagdeep: google-chrome .. run it on terminal and copy the output to fpaste [10:22] AmberJ, a "clean install" has only default packages.

[10:41] what can be the problem?

It is probably in .config/chrome or something like that [10:43] garyboy: not illegal. a OSX license violation. apple might and can sue you for it. however, that is Offtopic here too. ask a channel dealing with OSX about it.

[11:23] rlc: clear down some space [11:24] i cannot remove the application i have just installed. === Xaevo is now known as Anthraxium-64 [11:24] i.e. fontmatrix + inkscape [11:24] rlc: then you need to increase the size of the / partition [11:24] TerminalM: iwconfig, the options power and txpower. see manpage [11:24] rlc: you've only put it as 500meg, the minimum recommended was 2GB [11:24] sudo iwconfig eth1 power off [11:24] fixed it, thanks [11:24] ikonia: how do i change the aufs? === tum is now known as Guest85151 [11:25] aufs ? [11:25] ikonia: oh, the root [11:25] rlc: how have you installed ubuntu to aufs ? [11:26] idk. i used the pendrivelinux's installer and install ubuntu 11 to my flash. [11:26] how big is your flash drive ? [11:26] 4gb [11:26] rlc: ok, so you need to repartition your flash drive with a bigger partition thatn 500meg [11:27] so, the persistent space is the root? [11:27] yes, that is persistant [11:28] i thought the persistent space is another space outside the os to keep the files and configs. [11:28] xP [11:28] rlc: the files are installed to root, so you'll have to make that persistent [11:28] sorry sort of new to debian/ubuntu I want to backport the nvidia driver from 11.04 to 10.04 I was wondering how I use apt-get to download the source from a different version? [11:29] squig: you can't do that, as nvidia is closed source, so you can't get the source code [11:29] squig: put in a deb-src line for the old version and use apt-get source -t [11:29] why can't I redirect crontab -l to a file? [11:29] ikonia: but you can get the source for the package, no? even when it is mainly a big blob? [11:29] totally, yes [11:29] ikonia: oh, it reminds me, my flash hasn [11:30] 't been partitioned. [11:30] wols_, im on 10.04 and im trying to get the files out of 11.04? [11:30] but if you're doing that, you may as well just install the driver from nvidia.com [11:30] squig: as I told you [11:30] ikonia: well, ubuntu gives you a nice shiny .deb at the end, nvidia doesn't, right? [11:30] ikonia: so, currently could i access/use the empty space? (as my flash hasn) [11:30] *hasn't been partitioned? [11:31] WHAT IS THE BEST GRAPHIC PROGRAMMER APLICATION USING IN UBUNTU [11:31] wols_: yes, a supported deb [11:31] i have 20 machines to install it on, I would like to use the standard package managers, and dkms will update when kernels update [11:31] abd: please don't use caps lock [11:31] squig: sounds a reasonable idea [11:32] I updated to 10.10 yesterday (I though I had already done so a long time ago but apparently not) and now my dead keys aren't working without combining them with a letter. I have swedish keyboard layout and I'm not interested in the eliminating dead keys since I want to still be able to do letters with accents. I also know I've had this problem before, but I can't remember when, or how I solved it. [11:32] we have to speak about graphic programmation on ubuntu [11:33] abd: then ask a question, without caps [11:34] ikonia sorry [11:35] ikonia so what a bout programing under ubuntu [11:35] abd: ask a question [11:35] anyone here installed thunar in ubuntu? [11:35] abd, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Programming [11:35] what sort of programming do you want to do? [11:35] beef-supreme: ask your real question [11:36] wols_, thunar fails to mount media [11:36] * wols_ fails to spot a question mark anywhere here [11:36] wols_, but if you don't use thunar it's probably unlikely that you know how to fix [11:36] wols_, why does thunar fail to mount media [11:36] ikonia: if i set the whole disk for persistent space, could i access the files in it from windows? or should i partition the flash into two partitions: OS and data? what's the rule of thumb to determine the size? [11:37] rlc: you are using a file system that is unsupported in windows [11:37] wols_, the error is reproducible, install ubuntu mini in a virtual machine, install xorg, openbox and thunar [11:37] beef-supreme: good luck you will need it with the way you ask for help. have a nice day [11:37] beef-supreme: ubuntu mini ? [11:37] ikonia, yes [11:37] beef-supreme: where did you get ubuntu mini ? [11:37] ikonia, the ubuntu website? [11:38] ikonia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:38] I noticed the ubuntu natty installer cd had a very nice fullscreen (i.e. 1920x1080?) boot logo (plymouth), can't get that working on my regular install though, any hints? === szal_ is now known as szal [11:38] beef-supreme: the mininal install cd, not something called ubuntu mini [11:38] I would very much appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of which current kernel module in Ubuntu Natty is which loads/discovers IDE devices. [11:38] could i partition a flash drive, from which i boot ubuntu, using the booted ubuntu? [11:38] d3vlin did u install nvidia / ati drivers? [11:39] sudokill: yes, nvidia-current [11:39] thats why [11:39] i think only with the generic drivers it has full res [11:39] Ash-Fox: considering the PCI ID you gave isn't recognized by lspci basically means there is no driver for it under linux. the evidence points to a really old IDE RAID driver from broadcom [11:39] a that is a shame [11:39] ikonia, my bad, install the minimal version of ubuntu, xorg, openbox and thunar, dbus and hal, open thunar, the list of unmounted media is on the panel, click any of them and you get a "thunar was unable to mont" error [11:39] it's not that important, but it looks way better [11:39] i know [11:40] d3vlin, avoid rebooting :) [11:40] wols_, I'd still like to attempt to force loading it on the off chance I can get it working. [11:40] well I don't keep my HTPC running 24/7 ;) [11:40] beef-supreme: no idea with out running a test myself, it's likley you are missing a dependency package for that to work [11:41] ikonia, yes, most likely [11:41] Sorry about my English, I haven't slept for at all and it's making me a bit screwy. [11:41] skype on ubuntu 64bit is still a pain, right? [11:42] nephro: no [11:42] nephro: No. [11:42] oh, really? [11:42] ikonia: thanks for the help. i'll create a new usb installation. [11:42] apt-get install skype -- then? [11:42] beef-supreme: thunar-volman btw [11:43] Whenever I transfer files to a usb flashdrive it will start out fast and then quickly drop in speed (without changing the remaining time). Eventually it will just read 0 seconds left and sit there for a really long time. Any idea how to fix this? [11:43] wols_, it's there, that's the reason why the unmounted media are displayed [11:43] beef-supreme: not sure but maybe thunar-volman plugin may help [11:44] zvacet, thunar-volman is a dependency of thunar, you can't install thunar without thunar-volman [11:44] ikonia, so, can you suggest a link or smth? Googling give me only outdated(2008) links to ubuntu community site [11:44] beef-supreme: any error messages? .xsession-errors maybe? [11:45] nephro i think skype is in ubuntu tweak [11:45] !skype [11:45] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [11:45] wols_, no errors, i'm reinstalling it in my virtual machine, i previously tried it in debian to see if works there [11:45] beef-supreme: I suggest starting thunar from a terminal and check there [11:46] can i install applications in a specific directory? [11:47] *a specific partition [11:47] rlc: no [11:47] the package manager will install them in a predefined place [11:47] so the apps would always go to root? [11:47] funny : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNRit2wrxkU [11:47] they don't go to root, they go to many directories under root [11:47] *to the ubuntu's partition [11:48] rlc:yes [11:48] rlc: they go to /usr/bin, /etc/ /var etc etc [11:48] so, if i use a live cd, i couldn't add application? (because the root is not writeable? [11:48] rlc: you can , as root is your memory [11:48] however when you reboot, it will go [11:48] qin: hi im back [11:48] ikonia, that seems out of date too... There actually is a skype package on skype.com for 64 bit linux [11:48] lol [11:48] qin: the one with display problems [11:48] nephro: update it then [11:48] so dl + dpkg -i skype.deb works [11:49] qin: i have a screen shot [11:49] nephro: I always use the skype site for insalling it [11:49] qin: using my digicam [11:49] ActionParsnip, well, last time I tried to do that, there were only 32 bit packages [11:49] ikonia: but when i use flash + persistent, the root would eventually be placed in the flash instead of ram? [11:49] and the link ikonia gives is rather misleading [11:49] imho [11:49] rlc: depends how you set it up, but yes [11:49] nephro: then update it [11:49] ikonia: ok. thanks. [11:50] nephro: really, that far back :) [11:50] ikonia, is it open for anyone to edit? [11:50] nephro: sure, [11:50] I'll consider that when I have a minute [11:54] anyone knows why volumes still show in natty after disabling apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor? [11:54] Ubuntu is so full of bugs and stupid that I dont know what to do: Crashes on laptop lid down, applets crash and dissapear, keybord is not configured according to install, multiscreen is buggy and doesnt work properly and unity is wtf. === szal__ is now known as szal === Guest69702 is now known as Lcawte [11:56] DrGod: one question at the time maybe someone ca help you [11:56] DrGod: check your EULA ;) [11:56] "Ubuntu is a fast, secure and easy-to-use operating system used by millions of people around the world." -Ubuntu.com. BULLSHIT! It is nothing more than a slightly interactive picture of a desktop. Unless I want to tinker with linux, I see no reason to bother with ubuntu. [11:56] DrGod: OK, bye. [11:56] lol [11:56] drgod [11:58] first time ever typing on an IRC chat, Hello. [11:59] Deedub: we're that new people are starting to use such an old technology. :D [11:59] hi Deedub [11:59] *weird [11:59] not really sure if this is the correct place to ask, but is it possible to run a VM of a linux box I have on my network, in windows? [11:59] hi Deedub [11:59] kLownish: you want to run an image of a linux box in a VM? [12:00] I guess it's still the best place to get this type of support though. [12:00] hello [12:00] ozzmosis, yes, if possible, it would be quicker than switching back and forth between the two [12:00] xlinkerz: hello [12:01] kLownish: yes, you can P2V and have a virtual system [12:01] shamess, thanks, simple is elegant. [12:01] hi ozzmosis. [12:01] kLownish: not possible. you can run a windows installation which exists as a partition on one of your disks, but you can't do it over the network unfortunately [12:01] kLownish: should be fine [12:01] ActionParsnip: p2v? [12:02] anybody here working on LightDM [12:02] xlinkerz: ask your real question [12:02] wols_: I think you can actually but I'm not sure that's what kLownish wanted to do [12:02] ozzmosis: and how can you do it? [12:02] @wols_ im doing the same [12:03] wols_, http://i.imgur.com/59sBp.png [12:04] Basically, I have a linux box on my laptop (connected by vga to the same tv my windows computer is) that I use for all my android development (already have it set up in linux, no need to switch to windows), and I would like to access that from windows if possible. Is there a better way than a VM? [12:04] hey, is there a site available to see what version apt-get uses for a specific package? [12:04] linux box on my laptop, wow that sounds stupid, so much for 4am typing skills. [12:04] wols_, i just realized that nautilus can't mount either === szal_ is now known as szal [12:05] beef-supreme: is this debian or ubuntu? debian maybe check for the plugdev group [12:05] this is ubuntu [12:05] well, check anyways :P [12:05] wols_, debian's thunar won't even show the volumes === marco is now known as ech0s7 [12:05] hi [12:05] mattyh88: try "/msg ubottu !info packagename ubuntuversion (example: /msg ubottu !info vino lucid) Or check packages.ubuntu.com [12:05] kLownish: wubi may be an option [12:05] beef-supreme: try to run X as root (for shits and giggles) [12:06] ozzmosis: you're right, that would work, but I shudder at the I/O performance. VM _and_ network access for every file [12:06] ozzmosis: and it wouldn't work very well for the remote linux machine [12:06] wols_, running it as root seams to work [12:06] wols_, as you would expect [12:07] wols_: I think kLownish just wants windows + linux running concurrently on the same machine [12:07] i just downloaded Xchat. entered nick and real names, do i need to register somewhere? I'll use these names in the future on other distros. [12:07] beef-supreme: run X via "startx" and check that tty for any permission errors? [12:07] ozzmosis, I dont really need them "running" on the same machine. I just need to access the linux box from windows, see the desktop and such, thats why I figured vm would be a good idea. [12:07] wols_, i am running it using startx [12:08] where can i find the configuration file where are collected all module and daemon to start at boot? [12:08] ozzmosis: he said a remote linux installation [12:08] oCean: thx [12:08] kLownish: you can access your linux laptop via VNC [12:08] !upstart | ech0s7 [12:08] ech0s7: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [12:08] wols_, I'll check that out, thanks. [12:09] kLownish: remote X also works for LANs [12:09] kLownish: VNC .. or you could run an X server on the Windows machine (eg. cygwin's) and use ssh X forwarding [12:09] wols_, no erros in tty [12:09] ok wols_ but on ubuntu where is config file ? === david is now known as Guest54481 [12:10] can i have gnome 3 without the shell [12:10] yes Ghost_Who_Walks [12:10] fallback mode [12:10] !gnome3 | Ghost_Who_Walks [12:10] Ghost_Who_Walks: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [12:11] free version of vnc doesnt support win7, lovely. guess I will try running an X server on windows then. [12:11] hmm well thanks guys [12:11] wols_, i even added my user to the root group [12:11] wols_, still nothing [12:11] kLownish: apps often have web UIs too, you can look into that as well (much sleeker than VNC) [12:11] kLownish: heh, really? [12:11] kLownish: you're wrong. ultravnc is GPL and supports windows 7 just fine [12:11] wols_, thanks, I was looking at realvnc :) [12:12] beef-supreme: add the user to the admin group, it will then be able to use sudo [12:12] kLownish: so does tightvnc, apparently [12:12] ActionParsnip, i am in the admin group and i can use sudo [12:12] but the point of making thunar handle my mounts/umounts is exactly to get rid of permission to do so [12:12] beef-supreme: so why add the user to the root group? [12:12] ActionParsnip, because thunar always complains i am lacking permissions [12:12] ActionParsnip: for debugging purposes [12:13] beef-supreme: I see an extended strace session in your future [12:13] Hi, I just installed ubuntu 11.04 and wish to install nomachine NX but do not know how to. I am confused because some old docs report that I have to install extra applications to make NX work. Is there a doc or page on Internet that would guide me through on how to install NX on a desktop for current 11.04 version? [12:13] wols_, anyway nautilus behaves in the same way [12:13] can't mount /umount [12:13] can you tell me what groups are you into? [12:14] Also, I am confused if I have to install the Server or the Node version [12:14] SAngeli: nomachine strongly discaourages people to use a free version of their software. with predictable results [12:14] kLownish: it's possible they might just mean the server doesn't work in win7, not the client // getting off-topic [12:14] i'm in root adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin [12:14] beef-supreme: then run: gksudo thunar [12:15] wols_, I have it running and it is not the free version but the regular version with up to 4 free users. I have it perfectly running on a CentOS server and am very pleased with it. [12:15] ActionParsnip: we already established that it works as root [12:15] ozzmosis, last comment ot: I'm going to try uvnc and see if it works, if it doesn't then I'll test realvnc. [12:15] I need to understand how to install in on ubuntu 11.04. wols_ can you please help? [12:15] ActionParsnip, 1. thunar was made to mount /umount without permissions, 2. thunar doesn't allow you to mount if you run it with sudo, much like nautilus [12:15] Thanks for the help ozzmosis, wols_, ActionParsnip [12:15] kLownish: gl [12:15] beef-supreme: I see [12:15] beef-supreme: are you using lubuntu? [12:16] or lxde === szal_ is now known as szal [12:17] no [12:17] oops sorry [12:17] anyone else could please help me? [12:17] ActionParsnip: he started with minimal cd and then installed stuff [12:18] gotcha [12:18] hi, could you suggest me the best way to get portable ubuntu on 4gb flash? [12:18] cmiiw, afaik there are three ways or so: portable linux, live usb creator, pendrivelinux. [12:18] ActionParsnip, yes i am [12:18] ActionParsnip, i'm actually trying several distros at a time, [12:19] rlc: Install Ubuntu onto the USB as it's / partition. [12:19] ActionParsnip, fedora seams to be the only one where thunar works, but other features are buggy in fedora [12:19] ActionParsnip, ubuntu sees the unmounted parittions but is inable to mount / umount [12:19] jpds: using which method? [12:19] ActionParsnip, debian doesn't even see them [12:20] rlc: Use a LiveCD, and run the usual install process. [12:20] it seems there are little differences to these installation: portable linux, live usb creator, pendrivelinux. [12:20] SAngeli: I downloaded -server -node and -client. Installed all 3 of the packages on the server, for the client the -client package was sufficient [12:20] where is the configuration file where are collected all module and daemon to start at boot? [12:21] jpds: i couldn't get a live cd easily (no cd writer). [12:21] oCean, the three files did you download them from this website: http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=2961? [12:21] http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=2961 this is the link: oCean I added a ? at the end and do not know if it works [12:22] SAngeli: exactly. It was only 2 weeks ago, so I remember :) [12:22] ciao atutti [12:22] !it | pdor [12:22] pdor: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [12:22] oCean, it reports to run "sudo dpkg -i nxclient_3.5.0-6_i386.deb " I am not good with linux. Is this going to work on ubuntu if I just run this commands? === szal_ is now known as szal [12:23] SAngeli: yes, that's exactly how I installed the packages [12:23] thank you oCean . Are you happy with this software? [12:23] does it run fine? [12:23] could you help me to pick the best between ubuntu from portable linux, live usb creator, and pendrivelinux? [12:24] SAngeli: I think its performance is remarkably good [12:24] I agree with you oCean [12:24] anyone? [12:24] hi what probram do we use to read rss feeds under Ubuntu ? [12:24] I tried blam and yassr or something but those give me errors [12:25] one last question: I recall on centos I had to setup the database for user acces and on the client (on windows) I had to cut/paste the certificate for authentication. Is this the same here with ubuntut? oCean [12:26] bye for now [12:26] exit [12:27] Hello All [12:27] SAngeli: I did no such thing, actually for now I did nothing more than the basics (start nxclient and run single program) For full-blown implementation of the product, the specific documentation might be useful. [12:27] I know how to have the result of this alias "ll = 'ls-alF | less' bash in color ? [12:28] Is this possible because it prevents the less [12:28] without "| less" I like the color ... [12:28] oCean, thanks for your help. Very well appreciated. [12:28] SAngeli: very welcome [12:29] HaikUbuntu: try: less -R [12:30] HaikUbuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198523 [12:31] ActionParsnip, I have a color, but not other [12:31] HaikUbuntu: other what? [12:32] ActionParsnip, > one color only [12:32] HaikUbuntu: if you run: ls -Al | less -R it will keep the colours in less for every file and folder, I just tried it [12:34] liferea seems to work. [12:34] When doing netstat -plnt I see a port (33987) that has no PID assigned to it. lsof -i :33987 didn't return anything. How can I know what process opened that port ? [12:35] i have some strange things in gnome (netty) ... i change the gnome theme ... some seconds after login in gnome nautlius sets back to the default-theme ... any hints? [12:36] I want my entire PC image to be stored on some server.can somebody guide me? [12:36] researcher123: make an image of the system, then upload the image to whatever server you desire [12:36] researcher123: you can use partimage to make the image (use liveCD so the partition is not mounted) [12:37] ActionParsnip: Im not much conversant with this technology.How to creat complete image? [12:37] hey guys if a linux distro has only live(without) installation can u set it up on ur PC? [12:37] mehdi, which version of ubuntu, what are you trying to do [12:37] Bartzy|work: sudo netstat -anp|grep 33987 [12:37] oCean, when tried to run # sudo dpkg -i nxclient_3.5.0-6_i386.deb I got some dependecies issue and therefore it did stop. Did you get this issue too? [12:37] mehdi: I'd imagine so, it will be harder. Grub2 can be told to boot ISO files too [12:38] oCean, I see on NX docs on how to install that there are several libraries required to install. [12:39] @bazhang well i ask generally it is gnome 3 i want to install but it says it was live and im not sure if there is any installation dats y i ask [12:39] wols_: I get "-" in the PID column. [12:39] mehdi, gnome3 is from a PPA, how did you propose to run it in live mode only, barring remastering a ubuntu cd [12:40] bazhang: there is a live gnome3 cd based on suse or fedora [12:40] ActionParsnip, right. so he should ask in #suse or #fedora [12:40] bazhang: sounds reasonable to me [12:41] Bartzy|work: with sudo? [12:44] anyone know if it would be possible to cause a beep/flash when consoel prompts for password and two beep/flashes for password prompt? [12:44] How would one read input from a usb keyboard plugged into a linux system if you're sshing in? I've got a USB barcode scanner that's connected to my system and I'd like to have it accessible via non-logged-in-at-the-machine access. If I login at the system, it behaves like a keyboard (when you scan a code, it gets pumped to stdin) [12:46] Hello people [12:46] saliak: pipe the code to a file and it wil be easily accessible [12:46] hi [12:46] can someone teach how to copy folder to /usr/share/slim/themes ? ? [12:47] i'm a noob with command lines [12:47] Fudge: do you mean for sudo? [12:47] yup [12:47] i think [12:47] onaip: sudo cp -r folder /usr/share/slim/themes [12:47] like I want to move a folder located in my downloads to [12:48] ActionParsnip: I was thinking it'd involve something like a pipe. i'm not sure exactly where to start? if it's a USB HID device, what's the device it'd show up as? I see a /dev/hidraw0 that spits out garbage (not the actual scanned code, but something that seems to be somehow correlated). is that what I need to pipe? [12:48] what does -r stand for ? ?

[12:54] deXter search "dock" in ubuntu software center. i remember there were 2 or 3 docks there.

[13:14] Guest69325, ask the PPA maintainer as its not supported here [13:14] ozzmosis, yes, when I exit the program I specified gnome-terminal also exits.

[13:24] I have a question concerning the latest batch of updates. I noitced when I last updated there was a few updates to xorg packages. Then when I try booting up this morning, it crashes and automatically restarts the system once it gets to the point of loading GDM. Am I the only one to have gotten this issue in the past couple days? [13:24] a5h15h: Why do you not have grub2??? [13:24] Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit [13:24] if he upgraded since befor 9.10 he might still have grub1... but thats scary. :) [13:25] ozzmosis, actually I think I confirmed that it doesn't. Inside gnome-terminal I ran 'top', and checked the output of 'ps'. top was connected to pts/3, the same as a bash instance. When I ran 'gnome-terminal -c top', top was connected to pts/4 but there was no bash instance connected to the same.

[13:25] johannes81: state the issue.. would be a good idea. :) [13:27] johannes81: We do not skype, we ssh. What is problem? [13:27] anyone knows a script or a package to automount ntfs at boot? [13:27] lotuspsychje: just put the proper entry in your /etc/fstab [13:27] !ntfs [13:27] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:27] I would like some help regarding the fact I cannot seem to boot into Ubuntu 11.04 anymore as it crashes and reboots at the point it gets to loading GDM. [13:27] yeah i will in due time =) im asking first cuz i would rather have private chat or a skype voice chat session...cuz i have concentration problems and dyslexia...hard for me to chat in this open chat =) [13:28] lotuspsychje: install the ntfs-config app and it acn auto add it i think [13:28] hmm just updated to the new release and well ... the graphics performance sucks badly ... what is wrong :/ [13:28] worked fine before update [13:28] Condoulo: What about failsafe? or just console? [13:28] Is FreeNX the same as nomachine? Would it be better to opt for FreeNX, rather? [13:28] is there a way to autogenerate a new (updated) fstab? [13:28] tnx for the last Dr_willis [13:29] naxa: updated for what? ive never seen any apps other thebn ntfs-config to work on the fstab [13:29] Dr_Willis, nor did I, however I manually updated my partition table for sure :) [13:29] it pays to learn how to mange the fstab. just in case of emergancy [13:29] qin: I can get into failsafe. The biggest change I can observe is there were xorg updates yesterday. So, I guess including the fact I have a Radeon HD 5750 using fglrx would help. [13:29] Dr_Willis, and fstab was generated when i first installed ubuntu somehow, there must be a way to do it (i could do it manually but i don't want) [13:30] osse: another way is to run pstree [13:30] Condoulo: Yes, first step would be to remove driver. [13:30] naxa: never seen a 'regenerate fstab' tool. Never really needed one. If i add a new HD. i add a proper line. There might be some apps that can do it. but ive never noticed one mentioned in here. [13:30] Dr_willis: i have ntfs-config already installed, should it be configed somewhere? [13:31] Dr_Willis, ok thanks for the info then :) [13:31] qin: Remove and Purge? [13:31] lotuspsychje: did you run ntfs-config ? [13:31] Dr_Willis, how does the installer do it? [13:31] lotuspsychje: its all handled by the /etc/fstab [13:31] naxa: proberly some script makes it from your input information [13:31] Dr_willis: yes but after asking root pass doesnt show [13:31] gah, where is the settings etc located in this new stupid ui :/ [13:31] lotuspsychje: fall back to editing it by hand i guess. ntfs-config has been flakey the last few releases. [13:32] Condoulo: With jockey, just disable it. [13:32] mrsunshine: btw, if you are still around, the Sync to Vsync option in Compiz Fusion seems to be causing the graphics performance issue for a lot of people when going to 11.04. If you use proprietary ATI or nVidia drivers, you should be fine just using the Sync to Vsync option in there and not in Compiz. Installing CCsm should allow you to get to that setting. [13:32] I have somehow removed my workspace switcher from the unity launcher, how to I restore that?

Can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a [14:27] eiriksvin: You can change the permissions using chmod / chown. You can just delete the files with rm. You can remove folders using rm -r The system is set up such that you should not have to delete folders / files as root very often. Be careful with these commands!

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [15:20] what's the graphical package manager ubuntu is looking to use to replace synaptic in the future? [15:20] compdoc, this computer was working fine a couple of days ago. :/ [15:20] dp: software center [15:21] ? [15:21] dp: synaptic will still be installable for those who want that level of power yet dont use the command line, but software center covers the needs of most users [15:21] Anybody delt with installing Google Earth on 11.04? [15:21] qin: the problem is that when i receive a message on facebook he hears the *beep*.... [15:22] compdoc, I did a sudo apt-get update hoping it fixed the problem but it did not. [15:22] dr3af: your mic is hook up wrongly, need to set it and test it. [15:22] who knows good graphics software for linux, I have gimp but its very simple ... [15:22] maco: thanks [15:22] qin: what u mean hook up wrongly?and how to "set it and test it"? [15:23] what does this do [how does it work (does it work) ] [15:23] http://lomat.tumblr.com/post/6075409090/http-how-to-speed-up-the-internet-on-ubuntu [15:23] dr3af, did you check the mixer? [15:23] dr3af: Means either there isa swich, or wrong card, or volume levels. [15:23] Gargille, at my login screen, hitting CTRL-ALT-1 does nothing, but hitting alt-f1, alt-f2, etc gives me a tty session (command prompt) [15:24] Gargille, which OS is it? [15:24] compdoc: in tty1: xinit -- :1 vt8 [15:24] compdoc: Do you get to term? [15:24] ok it is a tty session then. on mine it is a ctrl-alt-F1 F2 F3 etc.. [15:24] qin, this is Gargille's problem [15:24] What would be the best filesystem for both Ubuntu and Windows; NTFS or ext3? [15:24] Gargille: in tty1: xinit -- :1 vt8 [15:25] ubuntu before the last one. 10.10 I believe. [15:25] hey, shouldn't a directory (in /home) be automatically created when I craete a new system user? [15:25] Polah: NTFS. Windows + ext* is a pain. [15:25] rww: Thought so. [15:25] mattyh88: Did you use adduser or useradd ? [15:25] Virtualbox yer windows [15:26] qin, did xinit -- :1 vt8 got a little white screen with the command prompt. [15:27] this claims editing /etc/sysctl.conf makes your internet faster. Is that true/safe? How does it work? http://lomat.tumblr.com/post/6075409090/http-how-to-speed-up-the-internet-on-ubuntu [15:27] Gargille: Good, 1. check in tty1 for errors (Alt-Ctrl-F1) === dimos_ is now known as Guest2362 [15:28] edbian: useradd [15:28] Gargille: 2. in vt8 (Alt-Ctrl-F8): gedit (ansd check for errors in both) [15:28] useradd sounds like something yoda teaching ubuntu might say lol [15:28] is there a way i could shorten my boot process? [15:28] qin, (EE) microsoft nano transceiver v2.0: failed to initialize for relative axes [15:29] Good Q uestion p3rp i want to know too [15:29] Gargille: Is it Wubi??? [15:29] mattyh88: If you look at the man page for useradd you'll see it is a low lever tool. It recommends you use adduser If you use useradd you need to create the home folder yourself manually [15:29] p3rp: As a one-time option, you can append the word: profile to the line in grub which loads the kernel. It will try to streamline which sysvinit scripts can be loaded in parallel [15:29] edbian: okay thx ;) [15:30] p3rp: Remove all not needed sevices [15:30] qin, no it is dualboot with an old winxp. but ubuntu was a clean install. I was trying to install a wifi usb dongle at the time. it had crashed then too. [15:30] p3rp, Koobilitoo: Run a more lightweight system, have less startup programs, invest in an SSD [15:30] p3rp: if you're looking for hardware as well, try an ssd drive [15:30] I've got a seriosu issue with getting compiz working on 11.04 with Nvidia 7300. I've got OpenGL / GLX etc.. all enabled. When I do a compiz --replace however, I lose all windows and ust get a background essentially [15:30] polah: ssd rocks indeed [15:30] hello ? [15:30] p3rp: Do not use X nonsense [15:30] lotuspsychje, tad expensive though. [15:31] i did remove some services but its still persistent,i have to remove my battery just to restart coz it freezes [15:31] polah: depends on what brand/speed [15:31] qin, gedit is running. I can see it on the screen. [15:31] and the i get to a busy box [15:31] polah: i have an 8gig transcend slc ssd for 90 euro [15:31] TY i know going into startup applications is an option [15:31] Gargille: kill gedit and: startx [15:31] mattyh88: sure [15:32] i dunno how to edit grub [15:32] i wish i could get an ssd but this one is an old hp dv6500 [15:32] qin, not authorised to run startx. should I run with sudo?? [15:32] does this chat room support jolicloud [15:32] lotuspsychje, I guess is you get a really small one just for the operating system it's not too bad. [15:32] sorry cant afford ssd.. [15:32] polah: yes indeed i combine regular sata for storage and ssd for the Os [15:33] Gargille: No, try in in tty2 [15:33] SSD is faster then the 15K rpm drives? probably just curious tho [15:33] join#minsk [15:33] qin, is this issue of not being able to login through the gui because of a messed up hardware install?? [15:33] Koobilitoo: yes its very fast [15:33] what can i use to examine the status of a running raid 0+1 ? [15:33] ok but they are pricey [15:33] Gargille: Cannot imagine it yes, but in general yes. [15:33] hi, i'm trying to use my macbook's webcam with vlc, but my webcam isnt showing up as an option in vlc. however, the system log viewer shows that ubuntu knows *something* is plugged in. do i need to install a driver for this? [15:34] unless your wealthy :D [15:34] Koobilitoo: so are 15k drives :) [15:34] *yet [15:34] Hello =) [15:34] How can I get my dell M1330 laptop to move past the "*checking battery state" on boot up(running Ubuntu 10.10)? [15:34] not as much as a ssd [15:34] qin, fatal server error. server already active for display 0 [15:34] Koobilitoo: for me its worth it [15:34] What does "Too many levels of symbolic links" means? [15:34] mean* [15:34] Gargille: Right, in white box: exit [15:34] h [15:34] hi [15:34] Gargille: and: startx [15:35] Polah: i run natty 64 bit on ssd, very fast [15:35] oh Kewl Lotus [15:35] my mythbuntu 11.04 runs on a SSD - works great [15:35] Koobilitoo: try youtube ssd startups on 64 bit [15:35] being a dual core pc does that automatically qualify it as 64? [15:36] zxiest: symbolic links are like windows shortcuts but actually make the OS think the data is really there, it doesn't see a shortcut [15:36] Koobilitoo: no [15:36] compdoc: nice! [15:36] Koobilitoo: there are a few dualcore cpus that are not 64bit capable. few, but they exist [15:36] Koobilitoo, they tend to be these days [15:36] Koobilitoo: I have a dual core laptop which is 32bit [15:36] ActionPa1snip got it... So what's "too many levels" ? [15:36] Koobilitoo: websearch to find out what arch the CPU is [15:36] Why do the ubuntu developer recommend the 32 bit version of Ubuntu in general? [15:36] i guess that manufactures website would let you know [15:36] Is a link linking to a link that's linking back to it? [15:36] I am getting this error when trying to install a newer version of sudo. http://paste.ubuntu.com/616786/ Im running Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS [15:37] compdoc: mythbuntu also unity default? [15:37] zxiest: not sure there dude, possibly too many subfolders, or long paths etc. Never met that one before [15:37] lotuspsychje, ooo I dont the answer to that one [15:37] as far as web browser for me Chromium seems to work the fastest [15:37] ActionPa1snip alright.. no biggie =) Thanks man =) [15:37] petrolman: some 3rd party developers only make 32bio [15:37] First It was firefox then swiftfox then Chromum [15:38] lotuspsychje, mythbuntu doesnt use unity. And you dont have to use unity on the desktop Ubuntu either [15:38] Anyone have experience with USB HID devices and getting input from them? I have a barcode scanner that outputs scans to stdin when i'm logged into the computer at the terminal. However, I need to capture that stream from an ssh session. I can get the raw input from /dev/hidraw0, but it's garbage. I have a feeling there should be some way to get it the same way it looks at the terminal. How would I make a pipe from what is normally going t [15:38] terminal to my ssh session? [15:38] Chromium I mean [15:38] Koobilitoo: same here, chromium daily + 64bit flash + 64bit java :) [15:38] altho you know Action Srware made a redo of chromium which is even faster yet [15:39] I am getting the message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display - how do I fix this - all works as far as I can see EXCEPT the screen saver, which is when this happens [15:39] Koobilitoo: got a link? [15:39] going to look right now [15:39] ActionPa1snip, but 32 bit programs also run on a 64 bit system, hm [15:40] is there a console ip setting program (or is that vi) like setup on a redhat/fedora system [15:40] petrolman: i can only reccomend ubuntu 64 bit [15:40] saliak: I use usb devices all the time - I believe that you are getting the scan codes not the keys so they are not garbage, you just need to convert from scan code to key [15:40] no matter what i do i get this: iles list file for package `libfreetype6' is missing final newline [15:40] dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed. [15:40] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly [15:41] did u get that ActionPalsnip? [15:41] magicj: i see. is that a standard thing? there's no documentation that came with the reader. what would i search for to learn how to do this? [15:41] qin, OH CRAP! I have a flash drive on a usb. reboot. [15:41] i want to change my resolution in my tty screens, im using ubuntu 11.04 on a acer z5600.. the resolution of my screen is 1920x1080 but in tty everything looks small and text doesnt take up whole screen... help? [15:42] saliak: from my experience - they are all that way because they simulate a keyboard - so there really is no need for documentation [15:42] qin, compdoc, sorry. this is dumb on my part. [15:42] does network manager not work at all for VPN connections in 11.04 now ? [15:42] Gargille, stuff happens [15:42] saliak: there are a couple of strange aspects I have found however, some send shift before every alpha chanracted to make them UCS, some don't, etc - just experiment [15:43] magicj: i see. ok. so is there a standard translation table? when i login to a local terminal, it spits out readable ascii, so it must use a us keyboard mapping, right? [15:43] ubuntu-dum: setupcon or follow this: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [15:43] compdoc, qin, I am very sorry. I guess its the three days of trying to get it running. [15:43] saliak: that is the other wird thing about scan codes - just a pain - but realistically just test and see what you get from yours and you will be set [15:44] Gargille: ok, what we standing on? [15:44] jeremym: uninstall the package with dpkg, redownload it via a browser and reinstall it with dpkg [15:44] magicj: cool, thanks. [15:44] !isight [15:44] qin, compdoc, ok reboot clean now. I double checked everything. nothing connected. I cant login through the GUI. but ok through the ttys. [15:45] dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libfreetype6 but its complaining about dependencies...is there a way to force it to remove and leave the deps? [15:45] Gargille: Just: startx [15:45] i can reinstall the file aftewards [15:45] er package i mean [15:46] Gargille, did you install or upgrade the vendor proprietary video card drivers? [15:46] qin, a startx on tty1 says fatal server error: server is already active for display 0 etc.. I guess thats true as tty8 has the login screen all pinkishpurple. I now hate that color by the way. [15:47] ok this is what it says [15:47] data bus width 64 bits [15:47] address bus width 32 bits [15:47] compdoc, upgrade. I do a regular update every couple of days. a sudo apt-get update and upgrade. [15:47] Gargille: oh, so it runs somwhere, sudo killall Xorg [15:47] Gargille, the opensource drivers tend to work better for me [15:48] Hello all. If anyone has used apt-offline, I will need some info. At the offline machine, I give: "apt-offline set signaturefile.sig --install-packages abuse" What I get in response is: Error: Unable to locate package abuse. FATAL: Something is wrong with the apt system. [15:48] Any ideas ? [15:48] wols_, i have found --force-depends to turn the dependency errors into warnings but everytime i try to remove the package or any package i get: files list file for package `libfreetype6' is missing final newline and it wont do it [15:48] qin, compdoc, did a killall. a login screen poped up. [15:48] Gargille: And? [15:49] jeremym: go to /var/lib/dpkg/info/libfreetype6.list and add a newline or two at the end [15:49] jeremym: make a backup of the file first [15:49] Gargille: Gdm login? Did you login? Is it frozen yet? [15:49] ok will try that ty [15:50] qin, nope. I type my password and click unlock but it crashes and I get pushed back to the login screen. [15:50] Hi, is there some way to make a process run slower? I have 3 PCs running ffmpeg solid for about a week, it's a hot day. My CPU is 87 deg, my wife's 75 and the fileserver is beeping at me... I don't want to stop the process.... [15:50] Gargille: In tty1: sudo service gdm stop [15:50] get a fan in that room or a small AC [15:50] qin, It does not freeze. just pops back to the login screen. [15:50] Gargille: ^^ [15:50] computerx: cgroups for example [15:50] computerx: non trivial to use tho [15:50] will the mklable command in parted make a new partition or just rename an exsiting one [15:51] computerx, fahrenheit or celsius? [15:51] heh, I have two fans, one pointing at my CPU already... [15:51] qin, gdm stop/waiting [15:51] Celsius [15:51] Gargille: startx [15:51] u have to circulate the air not keep it in the room [15:51] Gargille, ooo I cant of a way to run an already running process slower,, fans may be the solution [15:51] I'm trying to get it out, trust me :p [15:51] computerx: what cpu is this? most modern ones don't like that high temps :) [15:51] Computerx: Don't point it towards your computer, point it away, i.e. the back of the fan is facing your computer [15:51] !info abuse [15:51] abuse (source: abuse-sdl): SDL port of the Abuse action game.

I didn't notice until it just *stopped*, dead. Power off, gone. My heatsink was full of dust >.> [15:53] Gargille: You would want to: cd /var/log/ and focus on dmesg, messages, auth.log. Xorg.0.log, seek for errors and warnings (use less or tail to read it) [15:53] not good will burn out yer cpu [15:53] computerx: no CPU can hit 130° C [15:53] D: [15:53] Night_Elf: Is the multiverse repository enabled on the machine which is fetching the files? [15:53] qin, (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist) ///I had done an uninstall through apt-get of nvidia AND (EE) [drm] failed to open device [15:53] Perhaps my monitoring is wrong then, however I can only go from what the bios tells me [15:54] How can I change the icon of a button in the starter panel (Unity) [15:54] It was saying 125 after a restart [15:54] i think he meant 130 F ? 130 C would be terrible lol [15:54] Bleh, universe rather [15:54] Gargille, you may want to check the hard driver temps which would be more critical than the cpu [15:54] computerx: Are you sure it's not fahrenheit? 130 C is well beyond any processor's maximum operating limits. [15:54] Gargille: In tty2: jockey-text -l [15:54] Same as reported with lm-sensors [15:54] So, degrees [15:55] qin, also something about XKEYBOARD and xkbcomp [15:55] computerx: I think record (recorded) was 84 C and some smoke. [15:55] Err, celcius.. [15:55] magicj: cool. i've got the right number of characters now, but the mapping isn't right yet. [15:55] hi guys [15:55] computerx: ANY cpu made out of silicon will physically burn out at 120°. no chip made on silicon ever run at 120°C [15:55] coz_, laptop cool like a brick. thanks. :) [15:55] Qin LOL wow :D [15:55] is it a bad idea installing ubuntu without creating partitions on an entire hard drive? [15:55] i keep getting these need root restricted stuff on installs and everything [15:55] p3rp: not a bad idea [15:55] Gargille, ok hope t his works out for you [15:55] Do you think it's adding the internal core temps together? [15:56] genii-around: The online/connected machine has all repositories possible enabled. But the point is that whatever apt-offline says about how things are done, the "set" command is given at the offline/disconnected machine, as this is the entire point. Unless there's an undocumented first step that has to be done and make the offline machine aware of the repositories which it (understandably)misses. [15:56] computerx, which temps are you looking for specifically? [15:56] installed apache 2 and cant edit index.html cause its owned by the root [15:56] computerx: no. but it can misreport temperatures. compare BIOS temperatures and the ones you get in ubuntu [15:56] coz_ thanks. [15:56] wols_: they match [15:56] i think if i do a reintalll of 11.04 vs a upgrade i should be ok [15:56] Gargille, do you know how to check the hard drive temps? [15:56] p3rp: It is very good to have /, /home separate, 10Gb, whatever respectively [15:56] Hello guys.. I need little help with zic.. my ubuntu boots up with a weird time, like -3h behind the correct.. and just after I log in Gnome my system date changes to the correct... defined by zic on /etc/localtime [15:57] coz_: I'm not looking for a temp, but I'm monitoring it because I know I'm operating *very* hot [15:57] genii-around: And actually, the online machine doesn't even need to be Ubuntu, or linux at all for that matter. [15:57] tirhak: no it won't change that index.html is owned by root [15:57] 130 C is 266 F [15:57] Hello [15:57] saliak: there are many web pges that give u the mappings [15:57] computerx, oh! well the more critical temp is the hard drive if it is not ssd [15:57] are the main ubuntu update servers having trouble? [15:57] The bios definitely said 125 degrees celcius after a 1 min break and restart >.> [15:57] Gargille: graphic is more important, try to disable nvidia driver.

[15:59] anyone else getting 404 on ubuntu update servers? [15:59] lotuspsychje: would you link us to these tools asus made for running under ubuntu? *g* [15:59] No, I'm just using the bios and lm-sensors (which match) [16:00] qin, line 4 is: xorg:nouveau experimental 3D support for NVIDIA cards (Free, disabled, not in use) [16:00] Do Asus have monitoring tools for linux? Their website is so bad, I avoid it as much as possible [16:00] wols_: maybe wine can handle it just for testing [16:00] minimmum system requires just ram what about processor speed [16:00] I've just install ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop, and I can't use my wireless card, this is the error : http://pastebin.com/tX58NuAc [16:01] Gargille: Strange... can you try to boot in resque mode?

[16:02] lotuspsychje: you need to learn what hardware accessing programs need me thinks [16:02] I guess I'll have to knock up a bash script to monitor the cpu temp, and pause the ffmpeg process if it hits a certain level [16:02] treebeen: How can I do? [16:02] yes laptop. AMD turion x64 x2 with nvidia geforce go 7400 [16:02] eaSy: run 'lspci' and see if you can find the exact model of the card [16:02] what does lspci do?

[16:06] it says Oracle VM Virtual Box [16:06] Koobilitoo: did you download from website or apt-get [16:06] yes [16:06] Any idea why the system monitor always shows a higher cpu use than top does in the command line? I ve started both with an interval of one seconds. [16:07] petrolman: what are the two different values at the same time?

[16:15] qin, ? [16:15] eaSy: seems to be a problem with the module, apparently there's no easy solution, there seems to be a patch but it involves recompiling the kernel I think [16:16] GridCube: yes? [16:16] How much time to do this solution ? [16:16] if i type dpkg -i and the sudo deb package...will that upgrade what is there or install it seperately causing me to have to installed versions of sudo?

[16:22] actually it looks like they removed it all together [16:22] * boolean grumbles [16:22] tomek_: then i would try... sudo apt-get...

Seems to not work in 11.04. Saw an unhelpful forum post, but not much else on it. Docs say to use middle button, but double buttons used to work in prior versions. [16:23] wols_: my card will be detected by ubuntu after that ? [16:23] eaSy: no guarantee [16:23] wols_: hmm, I don't think compat-wireless supports that card [16:23] boolean I'm running 11.04 and thats where it belongs but I do remember it was not created yet.

[16:24] KM0201: intel 6300 [16:24] wols_: wrong, it's just the eeprom that triggers the error message, there's is a patch for the module [16:25] Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 [16:25] KM0201: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 === gridaphobe_ is now known as gridaphobe [16:25] eaSy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420901 [16:25] treebeen: is that patch in mainline now?

I essentially want to run an rsync job locally across 2 computers.

[16:29] computerx, ActionPa1snip: So you reckon regular old rsync is the best tool for it? [16:29] It's what I'd use [16:29] eaSy: and you got a link to that firmware, yet you refuse to download it. is there a reason for it?

[16:30] hi* sorry [16:31] computerx: I essentially want a continuous backup system. [16:31] !quotas [16:31] SegFaultAX: yes. don't let anything write to that drive while you sync or you could lose data [16:31] !quota [16:31] azlon: you can enforce quotas [16:31] wols_: Any way around this problem?

[16:31] azlon: ubottu has no factoid about it. ubuntu wiki or google most certainly has [16:31] SegFaultAX: remount it read only [16:31] SegFaultAX: you can use dd or partimage (both in live cd) to copy the data) [16:31] Gp2mv3: Don't use flash on linux on under-powered machines. [16:32] Gp2mv3: threaten to burn adobe programmers until they give you a solution [16:32] ActionPa1snip: I want it to be tolerant of reboots and normal use. Which is why I want continuous syncro instead of a one-time snapshot. [16:32] SegFaultAX: I dont think a core 2 duo is an under-powered machine.

[16:41] fellipe: you will need the partitions offline to image. You will need to schedule some down time [16:41] fellipe: Do you jsut need a one time snapshot? [16:42] well [16:42] This is what I do use, and will adapt to a cron job: http://pastebin.com/bqXx4Ugi [16:42] it's a snapshot [16:42] would be ok [16:43] the real situation here is we need to make snapshot of our firewall [16:43] but it obviously cannot be turned off [16:45] hey hello guys. How can i set a rewriterule that applies to everything and override it later? thanks. [16:45] Is there a nice way to search all buffers? :grep and :vimgrep seems to be tailored for files. :bufdo g// is a bit harsh since it changes the buffer your in etc and reports errors. Ditto for :bufdo /pattern [16:45] s/your/you're/ [16:46] how can i auto delete the oldest file when a folder reaches a certain size? for example, if i have 10 500MB files and i want to add another 500 MB file, i would need to delete the oldest file in the folder first. what would i search on google for this? [16:46] i simply want to redirect anything to 404 and explicitly allow only some folders [16:47] osse: Normally I would suggest bufdo, but if you can't use them, what are you trying to do exactly?

My WD TV HD Live mediacenter shares the external harddrive connected to it over the network (and i can see it in the networks tab in finder under OS X) so how do i find it and add it so i can access its content? [16:48] SegFaultAX, oh god. This was meant for the #vim channel :/ I would basically like to grep all buffers. :bufdo g// is ok, but if it doesn't find anything it prints errors, and it changes the buffer you're in when it's done [16:49] Sometimes when my computer is starting up, it starts gdm AND kdm, and then immediately kills kdm.

[17:03] xskydevilx, maybe something like glade(glade.gnome.org) [17:04] azlon: Turnkey Linux has a jeos live cd, absolutely minimal [17:04] ebisudave: you said you have the phone mounted and then you say you don't see it anywhere. only one of those can be right. which one? === pieta is now known as habits [17:04] Petskull: typisch deutsch [17:04] that one really endears people to help you [17:04] wols_, ah [17:04] oops. was for petrolman, sorry [17:05] anyone have any idea what to check for my blinking cursor on tty1 11.04 fresh install via alternate CD [17:05] hehe [17:06] wols_: WHat I mean is, if I sit at Computer B, I can see the Android on the desktop, and in Nautlius. However, if I sit at computer A, connect by SSH to computer B, the device doesn't seem to be there. There's no directory in /mnt, /media, or anywhere. [17:06] ebisudave: and how does nautilus show it? [17:06] ebisudave: or what does "mount" show? [17:07] Hello [17:07] wols_: Hang on... need to look at the other computer to answer accurately. [17:07] !cookie | wols [17:07] wols: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [17:07] Where did the "Run in terminal" option from Alt+F2 go? [17:07] wols_: Also, what do you mean by "what does "mount" show"? You mean the mount command at the command line? [17:08] ebisudave: yes. if something is actually mounted, "mount" shows it [17:08] My Synaptic does show errors all the time! Can somebody help me???? [17:08] !errors | Palzieri [17:08] Palzieri: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message [17:08] Palzieri: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update [17:08] Palzieri: use a pastebin to host [17:10] No LSB modules are available.

[17:10] Palzieri: jaunty is no longer supported in any way, shape or form [17:10] Hello [17:10] how can I switch to another one?? [17:10] Where can I find the CD Folder at? I've put the CD in my computer but I can't find it :/ [17:11] !jaunty [17:11] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. === francisco is now known as Guest56932 [17:11] !eol | Palzieri [17:11] Palzieri: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:11] Hmm [17:11] wols_: Nautilus shows my Android device as if it were a directory called /media/ANDROID16GB. If I run "mount" at the command line when connected by SSH from Computer A, it gives me a lot of lines of output (example:/dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)), but nothing that looks like the Android device. [17:11] Palzieri: and due to this end of life you have your problems. you must upgrade to a supported ubuntu version [17:11] where can I find the cd folder at? I've just put the cd in my comp and I can't find it [17:11] ebisudave: "mount |grep media" [17:12] I want to put in the cd folder a file [17:12] Plazma: also, when someone says "use a pastebin" can you please DO use the pastebin so you don't spam the channel [17:12] wols_: mount |grep media returns nothing. [17:12] Guest56932: how do you want to do this? CDs are read only and therefore mounted read only too [17:13] i seem to have limited disk space left on my ubuntu parition what is the best way to find out which folders are takeing up the most space? [17:13] ebisudave: mount the android device manually and use sshfs to access that remotely [17:13] Plazma: sory, wrong target. Tab-spaz [17:13] wols_ I want to move the windows iso I had in my old cd, it got broken but I kept in it in a folde [17:13] hi all,i m facing a problem with ubuntu 11.04.google chrome in my ubuntu 11.04 stop working.and it does not run even i have reinstalled it. [17:13] jagdeep: doe sit run as another user? [17:13] wols_ All I kept was the windows iso [17:14] wols_: Sorry, I'm a little more noob than that. How would I mount the device "manually". It always comes up automatically whenever I plug it in. [17:14] Guest56932: so you want to burn a copy of your windows cd? [17:14] wols_ exactly [17:14] no i havnt tried it yet. [17:14] jagdeep: its worth exploring ;) [17:14] Guest56932: use a burn program and burn it then. there is no "cd folder" to do that. there isn't such a thing on windows either btw. at least not for bootable CDs [17:14] ResQue: sudo du / --max-depth =1 -h [17:15] anyone know if theres a menu bar for gnome that is like tint2? [17:15] wols_: then how am I supposed to burn the .iso file if I don't know the CD? Or is it displayed by the program? I've never done this before, sorry for noob question xD [17:15] ebisudave: fdisk -l shows a 16GB partition somewhere? [17:15] you gave me an idea i should try it. [17:15] hi [17:15] Guest56932: yes it's done by the program. just like in windows too. have you never burned a CD on windows? [17:15] multipass: why not just use tint2 instead? [17:15] wols_ No, I've never burned it [17:15] where is the config file with module and daemon to start at boot? [17:15] where is the config file with module and daemon to start at boot?ù [17:15] wols_: No, "fdisk -l" also returns nothing. [17:16] hi. Can't read a dvd. Any clues ?

[17:17] Ubuntu bug 791373 in linux (Ubuntu) "Can't enable wireless on Acer Aspire 721" [Undecided,New] [17:18] wols_: wait, I was wrong.

LOLX D [17:18] ebisudave: pastebin the output [17:18] Guest56932: you unmount it [17:18] wols_ wtf D: HOw [17:18] Guest56932: then the button will work again [17:18] where is the config file with module and daemon to start at boot?ù [17:18] wols_: Sorry, I missed this at first. I think this is the Android device: Disk /dev/sdb: 16.2 GB, 16236150784 bytes [17:18] wols_ there's no button in linux which will activate the open proc?

[17:21] !ask| wols_ [17:21] wols_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:21] tucemiux, it's an original dvd rom [17:21] basso: i'd ask in #c [17:21] oh am sorry .. i missed it .. wait [17:21] !fstab | m3asmi [17:21] m3asmi: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

This dvd plays fine tho on a home dvd player [17:23] m3asmi: I can give you mine as a sample, your UUIDs will be different [17:23] yes I knew :( [17:23] m3asmi: you will need liveCD to fix it [17:23] wols_, correct .. i am trying to use a phidget and need libusb installed [17:23] wols_, libusb-dev infact [17:23] Hello, i use this 9.10 karmic linux gnome2.28.1 (i dno if it makes sense to what i want) I want to be able to have a password security when at the system start up.

May be a quick fix :) [17:25] m3asmi: oh, you DON'T. Misread it [17:25] I've been having problems, probably due to compositing I'm guessing, with the top bar in applications disappearing, docky not unhiding itself on mouseover or not compositing (not sure), on-mouse over pop up description things not going away (like 'Close Window') and being unable, usually when switching between workspaces, to get back to a program in another workspace.. it sort of just acts like its not on top [17:26] ActionPa1snip: yes ,think you [17:26] I have tv tuner usb gadmei utv 330, buat when I try in linux error like this [17:26] m3asmi: check if you have a /etc/mtab file [17:26] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 [17:26] [ 6466.848227] usb 2-1: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 1 bulk endpoint 0x83 has invalid maxpacket 256 [17:26] m3asmi, you can create a .back file, just sudo copy /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak [17:26] m3asmi: my file will help you reform yours, simply change the UUIDs, the rest should be the same [17:26] can somebody help me ? [17:26] avinashhm: apt-get install libusb libusb-dev should fix it. you will probably need to apt-get upgrade anyways [17:27] ? he left lol, :) [17:27] Okay, so I guess my question has evolved. Why can I see my Android with "sudo fdisk -l", but not with "mount |grep sdb". [17:27] again. [17:27] Hello, i use this 9.10 karmic linux gnome2.28.1 (i dno if it makes sense to what i want) I want to be able to have a password security when at the system start up. [17:27] hi [17:27] how to access more than one channel via irssi? [17:27] wols_, i get .. E: Couldn't find package libusb .. ;-( .. can't update since not much space .. [17:27] ActionPa1snip : think you verry much ;) [17:28] ebisudave: I don't use nautilus so I dunno how it accesses your android device. if /mnt is an empty directory you can "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" provided sudo fdisk -l shows a sdb1 [17:28] m3asmi: you can use /etc/mtab as a template [17:28] m3asmi: np man [17:28] I have device that shows up under /dev/hidraw1 .. is it possible to make a udev rule that'd give it a consistent name elsewhere (like /dev/scanner)? I've tried "SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTR{idVendor}=="04b4", ATTR{idProduct}=="bca1", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="barcode"" with no luck. any ideas? [17:29] evenin all [17:29] whatsup159951, go to youtube and search for an irssi tutorial [17:29] avinashhm: apt-get update && apt-get install libusb-0.1-4 libusb-dev [17:30] wols_: Hey... nice! I can see the contents of my Android device at least. [17:30] whatsup159951: http://irssi.org has a bunch of nice documentation. [17:30] whatsup159951: /join anotherchannel and then switch via "alt+2" and "alt+3" and so on [17:30] joel135: no ,it have just the partition without the / partition [17:31] wols_, thanks a lot :) [17:31] can you help me with system password at start up? i dont have one, i want one . how? [17:31] m3asmi: then you won't need my /home line, just the one for / [17:31] wols_, where do I configure my username and password in irsi?? o.O [17:31] whatsup159951: gdm should prompt you for a password. if it doesn't run gksudo gdm-setup (I think...) [17:32] tucemiux: for that you read the beginner documentation on irssi.org. it explains it [17:32] thoidingjam: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root. You can then run: passwd foo to set the password of foo, you can reboot by running: reboot and log on as foo with the password you set [17:32] oops. thoidingjam that was for you,not whatsup159951 [17:32] wols_, i thought I would cheat and ask you but thanks for the link though LoL I just installed irssi right now and taking it for a test spin [17:33] tucemiux: your question can't be answered in one line which is why the documentation is the better way [17:33] wols_: I can't seem to unmount the drive. When I do "sudo umount /mnt", it says "device is busy". How do I unmount it? [17:34] hi [17:34] wols_, thanks .. i really appreciate ... u were of gr8 help [17:34] wols_, yup yup im going to read it, be right back, dont go away anytime soon! :-) [17:34] ebisudave: cd out of it === P|Lastdayofschoo is now known as Pilif12p [17:35] edbian: Doh! That worked. Thanks. [17:35] ebisudave: sure [17:35] im looking for some help with udev: i'm just using ubuntu for a kiosk application, (ie: a 24h working panel with touch panel) and i would like to send an UDP message to a running application whenever a USB device gets mounted [17:35] accidentally installed GRUB from Live CD in my ubuntu partition's /home/ folder, how would I undo this and install it correctly? [17:36] jtannenbaum: reinstall it to wherever you want it [17:36] i'm already using udev with a custom rule, and it works kinda fine...but i don't know how to know where the drive is mounted ...any ideas? [17:36] jtannenbaum: via "grub-install" [17:36] actionpalship i am a noob for that. wols, i typed gksudo it ask me for a "program" and choice as "what/who" [17:37] wols_: ah okay.. well, I have an ubuntu partition and a win7 partition, and when I mount the ubuntu parition, I only get the /home folder, not the / directory [17:37] has anyone ever tried running Steam through Wine and installing games through it? === robinbowes is now known as jmccune_ [17:37] does it work? [17:37] jtannenbaum: mount how? [17:37] hello? [17:37] eiriksvin: tons of people [17:37] seems to === jmccune_ is now known as Guest28148 === Guest28148 is now known as robinbowes [17:38] eiriksvin: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444 [17:38] really, cus I want to play Americas Army 3, and I'm d/ling it right now [17:38] wols_: sudo mount /dev/sda5 [17:38] jtannenbaum: sudo fdisk -l [17:38] I recently rearranged the partitions so I could install win7 [17:38] does anyone know what should i do, i try to play heroes 5, but after intro video it shuts [17:38] jtannenbaum: destination folder (mount point)? [17:39] and gksudo gm-setup only asks to reenter my admin password. i want it like : Having a security password window. [17:39] banetoid: appdb.winehq.org knows if you can do anything [17:39] /mnt when I installed grub [17:39] eiriksvin: check the appdb [17:39] mmm seems like it works fine [17:39] eiriksvin: unless its native :) [17:39] jtannenbaum: why don't you just put grub on the mbr, like most normal people? [17:39] hi guys - I've got the lastest version and all my updates are up-to-date. However, the framerate on ALL videos is REALLY slow. What could be causing this? [17:39] jtannenbaum: of course you won't see "/home" when you mount the partition to /mnt [17:39] jetole: Add the "rootwait" kernel parameter. [17:40] mikebeecham: wrong/bad videodriver [17:40] DO you guys know if there are ways of booting the Pendrive instead of CD? I need to install my Windows ISO but I don't have a decent cd yet, I have a pendrive with the ISO File, but would it work ? I don't know x,x [17:40] no, the point is when I mounted it it only mounted /home [17:40] wols....how would I check mate? [17:40] later then. [17:40] KM0201: no idea [17:40] is there any information describing how ubuntu automounts drivers? i.e.: interaction between udev and udisks? [17:40] FrankZ96: there are ways, i'd ask in ##windows [17:40] jtannenbaum: you're making this way harder than necessary but.. proceed. [17:40] FrankZ96: yes it can work if you put your windows files properly on the usb flashdrive. but we don't know how since we run ubuntu obviously. you can mount your flashdrive easily with "mount" [17:41] heheheee, my cats benny thinks hes a dog, he has a piece of meat from a sizzler steak and hes carryin it around in his mouth, like woof, I'mma eat this steak! [17:41] I can't understand it well yet :/ If I have the .iso file in pendrive what do I have to change in Linux? I use xubuntu and I got windows xp deleted long time ago, so I need to make a new partition or something like that :/ [17:41] eiriksvin: please keep on topic [17:41] sorry :D [17:42] eiriksvin: If you just want to chat, use #ubuntu-offtopic [17:42] Pici, ok done it i was get a wrong idea thanks indeed for your suggestion [17:42] FrankZ96: we don't know about windows. we only know about ubuntu. we cannot help you in finding out how you put your windows iso file on the usb stick [17:42] hazz: you're welcome. [17:42] Okay... I can mount my Android device in the SSH shell. On to phase 2. I want to run Banshee and have it see the device. But even thought I have the Android device mounted, Banshee isn't seeing it. Any idea why? [17:42] hah [17:43] wols_: http://i.imgur.com/KU9xl.png [17:43] jtannenbaum: next time, mount /dev/sda1 [17:43] jtannenbaum: it's most likely your / partitioin [17:43] alrighty [17:44] I'm sure it isn't [17:44] it's flagged with boot last time I gparted [17:44] or something [17:44] What does banshee need to recognize a device plugged in by USB? [17:44] jtannenbaum: instead of being so sure, why don't you actually check? [17:44] hi guys [17:45] nobody ....udevs here? :) [17:45] wols_, so to configure freenode, I would d something like -->network irc.freenode.net [17:45] qin, the link did not solve it. [17:45] tucemiux: #irssi is a great channel for irssi questions. as is the documentation on irssi.org [17:46] i did chek the winehq, but it didn't help. I don't know how to use wine and there is old information btw [17:46] is there any software for .net [17:46] banetoid: even old information is valuable [17:46] wols_, but I wonder if there's anyone with a pulse in there, lemme go find out [17:46] sivakumar: lots. apt-cache search mono [17:46] lots [17:46] tucemiux: yes there is. but people who seem to be to lazy to read docs might not get answers. occupational hazard of the lazy [17:47] my screen saver fails. Reason is: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display, how do I fix this? [17:47] It just tells, what works with that game, what doesn't, i dont know even how to use the program [17:47] wols_: mounted it, the home folder is empty [17:47] wols_, what lots. is it a package [17:47] as in not my Linux [17:47] jtannenbaum: The boot flag is irrelevant as far as grub is concerned. You definitely do *not* want to install grub to sda2, or any partition. Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the mbr, /dev/sda. [17:47] jtannenbaum: cause your home folder is in /dev/sda5....

Figure out which version you actually have with the command "lsb_release -a". [17:54] sivakumar: you need to research mono - it's quite a large subject [17:55] avinashhm: jaunty is end of live. doesn't exist anymore. and sinec you run lucid, you don't need thoes repos anymore either [17:55] avinashhm: Jaunty is EOL, so that's why its repositories aren't working. If you're still on there, I'll give you upgrade information.

I want to run with wine [18:48] jjflash: always ask your real questions. even if no one knows the answer [18:48] wols_: It's a HP Pavillion dv6 and it has the same wireless card as described. I know the fixed has been patched to the kernel because it doesn't seem to be working either way. [18:48] gedO: "wine " [18:48] wols_: Ok... [18:49] ShaneM: lspci -nn and the kernel log [18:51] Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to shine some light on a VPN issue that doesn't seem to be well documented on Google? [18:51] Question: I'm using ubuntu in a kiosk way (Embedded PC with touch panel) and i would like to report a custom software whenever an usb drive gets mounted in order the software to dump some data. At this moment i'm using a very simple udev rule that runs a shell scripts wich sends an UDP message to the software, but somebody (udisks i guess...) is still trying to mount the drive... [18:51] has anyone gotten an ati 4670 to work with ubuntu 11.04? [18:52] My 4870 is working [18:52] jjflash: i would suspect gvfs is doing the mounting [18:52] I tried both the fglrx drivers and the ones from ATI and I didnt have any luck, then I tried the open source ones xserver-xorg-video-ati and -radeon and it didnt seem to work at all i got a black screen [18:52] so my question is: is there any documentation describing how the hell ubuntu automounts the drives? [18:52] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616930/ [18:52] maco: all i get from google is udev + udisks and documentation on gvfs is...well more or less inexistent :( [18:53] Hello World :) [18:53] there are 2 solutions for me [18:53] jjflash: gvfs is gnome's virtual filesystem stuff. i think the "what to do when media is inserted" settings are in nautilus [18:53] i've got a vpn server running in a ubuntu virtual machine. i've connected from a windows virtual machine, and the win box can ping the ubuntu box [18:53] however it ubuntu server can't ping the win machine. is it a routing issue? [18:54] or something more sinister? [18:54] 1) (The one i'm using) -> set a fixed point for the mount and run the script "SEND_UDP "hey! new drive at fixed point /media/fixedpoint" [18:54] gavin_: most likely a VM issue [18:54] I have an HP printer and I am trying to use hp-setup to get it working, but there was something else I had to do that gave a CUPS ID or something like that. Anything else I should type into the terminal to do something for hp-setup to work properly, like it's always done for me? [18:54] ah [18:54] maco: Nope, nautilus seems to be only a "listener" of the event, it acts after a sucessfully mounted drive has been reported [18:55] ShaneM: check your kernel log as I said above [18:55] I know I need to do something, but I forgot the other thing before it I need to type in terminal. [18:55] I have a local installed java in my home directory. It's appended to $PATH in .bashrc. Yet, "which java" returns /usr/bin/java, which is the system-wide java. It this because of /etc/alternatives/java pointing to that java? If so, how can I override it for just this user? [18:55] if oyu have a quad core and 4G ram is 64-bit better or can I use 32-bit still? [18:55] Malgorath: use 64bit then [18:55] Malgorath: you can use 32-bit, it'll install pae [18:56] maco: i was trying to use udev to tell my software where the drive was mounted...but is not udev who is mounting the drive...so it doesn't know :( [18:56] gavin_: messaging me unasked is a very fast way to an ignore. have a nice day [18:56] I'm gonna try to install 11.04 and dual boot with windows for now [18:56] Malgorath: server or desktop? i still prefer 32 on desktops with less than about 6gb ram, but 64 on most servers [18:56] Nevermind, I think I got it. [18:57] hypatia, desktop. I just got a 6870 video card so i want to see if vid quality is better now for the games I play and may not have to go back to windows [18:57] gavin_: and yet you do it again. *sigh* /ignore after all [18:57] maco: (and all) this is working for me -> BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sdb?", ACTION=="add", NAME="FIXEDPOINT", RUN+="/home/drive_in.sh" [18:57] i must not be that bothered after all [18:58] hi all! i have problems with antialiasing in Java programs on Ubuntu Natty. I use OpenJDK and fonts look nasty. export _JAVA_OPTIONS doesn't work, fonts.conf too [18:59] hello [18:59] hey [18:59] i cannot belive that such an important thing is not really well documented :( [19:00] sometimes it remembers me the bad old days from windows [19:00] where things happened like magic [19:01] or it can be my fault not being smart enough asking things to google :) [19:02] i need help thanks [19:02] i got error message when "sudo apt-get install openssh-server " [19:02] jjflash: from what I know (almost nothing), udev is very badly documented. [19:03] orgaZmo: What error are you getting? [19:03] wols_: i agree [19:03] wols_: but not only udev...just the entire automagic process of automounting :? [19:04] wols_: it seems that nobody really knows how it works [19:04] nah. with automounting the problem is there are a gazillion ways to do it [19:04] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616936/ Kernel log [19:04] every DE for example uses its own software for it [19:04] wols_: yep, but ubuntu should be using one in a gazillion :P [19:04] wols_: and i only interested on the ubuntu one :) [19:05] i'm thinking on starting a wiki on "configure ubuntu for unattended kiosk mode [19:05] I thought i saw a wiki page on taht once jjflash - or at least i recall a gnome/kde koisk howto once.. ages ago. [19:05] I have a broadcom wireless card in my laptop, and pretty often, the internet speed goes really, really slow and i have to run `iwconfig eth1 power off` to make it normal speed again. Is there some way to set the "power" setting to "off" permanently? [19:06] jjflash: every DE available in ubuntu (gnome, kde, xfce, ...) uses a different one :P [19:06] ShaneM: strange how there is nowhere an ath0 but no error message either :( [19:06] wols_: really? i'm using the mainstream one....just gnome [19:06] wols_: Yeah I'm so confused about it. :( [19:07] wols_: It says the hardware is disabled by a wireless switch but it works fine on the Windows partition. [19:07] ShaneM: maybe rfkill? [19:08] ShaneM: and where does it say that? [19:09] what are some good x irc clients? [19:10] irssi [19:10] uhm..time to go with the dog for a walk...bbl :) [19:10] i said x, lol [19:10] bye! [19:10] hi!! how may i know whether my computer has 1024 cylinder limit problem or not? [19:11] hg [19:12] huh, why did my system end up having /sbin/initctl(FAKE) and /sbin/initctl.REAL? [19:12] archtangent, xchat2 is what I use [19:12] wruthw4lk: limit problem exactly? [19:12] was it because it sorta hung toward the end of installation? [19:12] and not to mention, /etc/init/rpc_pipefs.conf is broken [19:12] it keeps telling me unknown parameter $JOB === earth is now known as Guest69835 [19:13] the thing is i already got a windows installation..its about 300 gb...so if there was the 1024 cylinder limit problem, id have to check other ways right?

[19:25] on the livecd, yep [19:25] I already installed skype, chrome, and git :) [19:25] shentino, that sounds like a pain if it reboots... [19:25] I just don't reboot :) [19:25] but anyway, I need to make my rootfs bigger [19:26] shentino, I dunno about making the root fs bigger, just make a new ramdrive and copy stuff over and symlink it back into the root [19:26] shentino, might be a boot option in grub otherwise... [19:26] how to install python in ubuntu [19:26] that's the sort of thing I'm asking about [19:26] but that would entail a reboot... [19:26] I can reboot if it's controlled and I prepare for it [19:26] shentino, google linux ramdisk should probably answer that... [19:26] Abhishek_Tamraka: It should already be installed. [19:27] Since my hd blew out I *no longer* have volatile information worth preserving [19:27] u mean i can simply run python script in terminal [19:27] shentino, I learned my lesson... I still refuse to do backups, but all my data is always on at least a raid1 [19:27] Where do I change my settings for when I close the lid on my lappie? [19:27] Abhishek_Tamraka: Exactly.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:57] !minimal | AlonzoTG [19:57] Why is the normal installer so useless?

[20:20] i chmoded +x the file [20:20] BlouBlou, bibliotheque maybe you need IA32-libs [20:20] i open a terminal, [20:20] X2000: i'd go 64bit [20:20] Question [20:20] execute /home/bibliotheque/Downloads/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.x86_64 [20:20] I'm trying to run something but it won't run because it needs libavutil.so.49 but I only can instll libavutil 50 which doesn't work, what do? [20:21] [20:21] BlouBlou: and nothing else. I could see yesterday a not fullscreen window with redllines, some errors, but now, just nothing else than a black screen. [20:21] 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD xubuntu would be best then [20:21] i m running kde4 [20:21] kubuntu 64 bits actually [20:21] ActionParsnip: that's what i did, but output is very minimal. The script used to run under cron, but I don't leave my computer on all the time so anacron seemed more appropriate [20:21] 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD xubuntu would be best then [20:21] bibliotheque: "chmod +x " and "./ioUrbanTerror.x86_64", do it after cd-ing to folder in which file is [20:21] bibliotheque: if you install it from getdeb is it ok? [20:22] ActionParsnip: what is getdeb? [20:22] Nixot: use a sy [20:22] Nixot: use a symlink to fool the OS [20:22] ActionParsnip: how do I do that? (sorry for my ignorance) [20:23] bibliotheque: its a great repo with games and apps [20:23] killall urabnterrror [20:24] 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD xubuntu would be best then for intel core 2 quad [20:24] ???? [20:25] X2000: yup [20:25] Nixot: find the file then make a symlink in the same folder with the new name. If you can give the full path to the file you have, i can give the command [20:26] But the problem is it's libavutil.so.50 that it has installed, not libavutil.so.49 [20:26] oooohhh I get it [20:26] where would it be [20:26] Nixot: so you have 50 and need 49? [20:27] Yeah, so make a sym-link in the program's folder called libavutil.so.49 [20:27] hi [20:27] But where would it be? hmm [20:27] is there a command line tool for networkmanager that actually allows adding configuring of connections? [20:27] looking in /usr/share... [20:27] Nixot: do you see it in /usr/lib ? [20:27] or can i edit some config file to add a connection? [20:27] X2000: how much ram does your system have? to me, if you don't have over 3.5gigs, the benefits of 64bit ar eminimal, and its best to go w/ 32bit [20:29] Upgrading to 11.04 upgraded xbindkeys to 1.8.3 which is broken. How do I apt-get 1.8.4? [20:29] Hmm, how do you make a symlink from one place to another without clicking "Make link"? Because it is grey. [20:30] @ActionParsnip I found the lib file in /usr/lib! [20:30] Can you shift+drag, or alt+drag or something to make a symbolic link somewhere? [20:31] hi there i get no sound out of moovida === derp is now known as derp|gone [20:32] Nixot: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libavutil.50 /usr/lib/libavutil.49 [20:33] How would I go about debugging a failed "mobile broadband" connection under 11.04? [20:34] @ActionParsnip it says the link is broken when I look at it in jnautilus. [20:34] I have a logitech dinovo mini keyboard. There are some buttons on the keyboard which have no effect when i press them such as the zoom buttons for example. How can i map the zoom button on the keyboard to the zoom function in ubuntu? [20:34] Nixot: the file now exists but is really a clone. It will provide the required functionality [20:35] @Diverdude If they explain how to get xbindkeys working here, that'd be a good method. [20:35] The program still doesn't work [20:36] anonymouse, who is "they" ? [20:36] Nixot: then delete the link. The syntax to the command is simple. Use TAB to complete folder and filenames [20:36] hello everybody [20:36] I'd need some help [20:37] @Diverdude I just mean the chatroom. [20:37] I'm compiling luminance HDR, but when I type the command make install, I get this error [20:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/616994/ [20:37] can anybody help me please? [20:37] Nixot: it won't with a broken link [20:37] @Diverdude 'xbindkeys' is a daemon that's made to do what you're talking about. [20:38] @Diverdude But I'm here because it just broke with the update to 11.04... [20:38] hell [20:38] The lib file is itself a link [20:38] I've got some code that accesses various usb devices. I'd rather not run my user space programs as root. is there a way to make the file descriptors for the usb devices read/write by all? ideally with a udev rule? [20:38] i need some help [20:39] How do I restore audio after it goes down? [20:39] i have a problem with booting ubuntu from install CD [20:39] Ok (Ubuntu 11.04) my wifi seems to not work very good (it fact sometimes not at all :( ) and it works fine on my sisters computers (Windows 7) is there a way to check my wifi card and see if it is in working order? [20:39] i need to configure a static ip address for a connection using networkmanager *from the command line*. the best i came up with is to configure it in /etc/network/interfaces and set [ifupdown] manages=true in NetworkManager.conf. but where can i set the nameserver? NM kills /etc/resolv.conf each time it starts. argh! === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [20:40] i have a resolution problem after i install nvidia drive [20:40] can anybdy help [20:40] ? [20:40] when i want to boot ubuntu from CD it loads and then there is a pink screen without ubuntu text and load message and it hangs like that [20:43] i am mazzy [20:43] i have the radeon card.. installed the ati proprietery driver... [20:43] i am big mazzy [20:43] !seen debugger [20:43] I have no seen command [20:43] i am covax [20:43] but its not that big changes make to my system,..

[20:43] Ok (Ubuntu 11.04) my wifi seems to not work very good (it fact sometimes not at all :( ) and it works fine on my sisters computers (Windows 7) is there a way to check my wifi card and see if it is in working or [20:44] !seen debugger [20:44] when ever i try to drag a window its looks like the refresh rate is too low or something like that [20:44] removed the proprietery driver and now installed the mesa-utils [20:44] my built in webcam ricoh on HP dv600 works on cheese but not on skype any idea how to fix please? [20:44] Hi! I wanted to remove the Evolution icon, and somebody told me to delete the file called evolution in "/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications". But then, after I rebooted the pc, the unity gnome panel to the left won't work :( Could somebody help me restart it? Or maybe sending me the file that I deleted.. [20:46] Another question: How do I enter the trash can from the terminal? I want to open nautilus and do it. [20:47] !trash [20:47] Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [20:48] Isn't it $HOME/.Trash ? [20:48] mathgirl: Nope, it changed in (I think) 8.04 [20:48] rww: But when I just type "nautilus" in the terminal it doesn't start. Only if i write "gksudo nautilus", where do I find it if im operating nautilus as root? [20:49] @rww Oops. [20:49] phox_: I just said, ~/.local/share/Trash. Nautilus doesn't show hidden files by default, see the View menu for the option to show them [20:49] @phox_ It may be at /home/username/.local/share/Trash [20:50] is there any way to make the top gnome panel with the gnome menu and tray look like tint2? transparent etc [20:50] @phox_ If you're running as root, ~ might mean root's home directory. [20:50] hey guys...on glxgears I'm getting a steady 60 fps. Can I increase this at all? [20:50] mathgirl: Oh, found it now. But the file called evolution i just deleted isnt there! Weird. [20:51] @phox_ I'm wrong anyway. It looks like sudo ls ~ shows my $HOME, not root's. [20:52] @phox_ In case of emergency, you could use 'find'. [20:52] how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ? [20:52] mathgirl: ok. Could you help me find the file called evolution in "/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications". I just deleted it and it screwed up unity.. [20:52] Okay. If you're sure the file was called exactly 'evolution' [20:53] how do I make grub2 boot me into a command line startup only? [20:53] Then you can go to / and say 'sudo find . -name evolution' in a terminal [20:53] mathgirl: i followed the instructions by this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9297804&postcount=7 [20:53] !nox | econdudeawesome [20:53] econdudeawesome: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [20:53] guntbert: you rock. thanks [20:53] Mathgirl: Maybe it wasn't exactly evolution, but something like it. [20:54] econdudeawesome: you're welcome :-) [20:54] how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ? [20:54] Hold on, let me see what files I have there. [20:55] hi I'm a seasoned ubuntu lover with a new question. 've an old laptop booted from ubuntu 5.04 live cd. Now I want install ubuntu on hd. How? [20:55] @phox_ [20:55] 10696 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2139.142 FPS [20:55] @phox_ Okay, I've got a file called 'evolution' there that contains just one line. [20:55] how bad is that? [20:55] how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ? [20:55] guntbert: do you recall wher ethe grub2 config file is stored? I'd rather edit that and update grub than restart right now :-D [20:55] @phox_ Maybe just create a new one [20:55] mathgirl: okey, ill try that. What does the line say? [20:55] @phox_ I'll tell you the contents and the permissions to set. [20:55] guntbert: nm, think I found it [20:56] how do you make apache2 work offline...without necessarily working when internet is on ? [20:56] econdudeawesome: /etc/default/grub [20:56] @phox_ Mine says: [20:56] is there any way to style the top gnome panel/gnome menu and tray look like tint2? transparent etc [20:56] mathgirl: ok [20:57] irong33k: I don't understand your question - what do you want to do? [20:57] phox_ it's not showing up in my screen [20:57] irong33k: 127.0.0.1 in browser [20:57] @phox_ /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop [20:57] mathgirl: what is not? Ok, ill create that file. [20:57] if i remove ubuntu-desktop package would it be a removal for gnome-softwares also? [20:57] @phox_ It looks like it's user:group are root:root and its chmod 644 [20:58] @phox_ The usr/share... wasn't showing up in my chatscreen. [20:58] If I already have a line for "text" in my grub default file, and yet it still boots to gdm, what do I need to fix? [20:58] freeburn, what is it you want from a removal of that? [20:59] How do I get my graphics back to the default when you install ubuntu? [20:59] in ubuntu how do you pick which kernel to boot off? [20:59] apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [20:59] mathgirl: how do set it to chmod 644? I'v looked in properties, but can't see it. [20:59] econdudeawesome: did you run update-grub? [20:59] i've moved to kde [20:59] jonesst1: with grub, hold shift at boot [20:59] so i wanna get rid of unity actually [20:59] guntbert: I'm fairly sure I did, but it's been awhile [20:59] @phox_ Whoa, are you doing this in a terminal? [20:59] how do i do it permanently? [20:59] be back soon [20:59] there is no menu.ist [21:00] @phox_ If not, open a terminal and I'll tell you what to type. [21:00] mathgirl: nope, i wrote "gksudo nautilus" and clicked my way here. Ok do that =) [21:00] @phox_ Okay, once you're in a terminal, type: [21:00] jonesst1: should be an option in /etc/default/grub -- i'm working on something similar to what you're doing sounds like [21:00] !grub2 | jonesst1 [21:00] jonesst1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [21:00] goodbye fair ubuntu group.... I go now to usb install.. err forsooth n such [21:00] @phox_ cd /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications [21:01] mathgirl: ok, that line i understand. [21:01] @phox_ Then type cat evolution to make sure it contains the right contents. [21:01] anyone help me install ubuntu from a live cd? Have booted from live cd, now i want to install to hd. [21:01] @phox_ Then type 'cat evolution' to make sure it contains the right contents. [21:02] mathgirl: no such file. Remeber, it was called evolution.desktop? [21:02] @phox_ Once you've got the right file there, just type [21:02] gahlberg: choose install and follow the intructions [21:02] @phox_ Oh I see. [21:02] mathgirl: i changed to evolution.desktop! :) [21:02] @phox_ 'cat evolution.desktop' [21:03] Monkeydust: you mean when the live cd is booting? [21:03] MonkeyDust: you mean when the live cd is booting? [21:03] @phox_ You don't want a file called evolution.desktop [21:04] gahlberg: wait until you have the ubuntu desktop, get used to the desktop, then click install [21:04] mathgirl: just "evolution"? [21:04] @phox_ Sorry, I've got you in the wrong directory. [21:04] guntbert: no love from the grub or grub2. Still ignoring the "text" option [21:05] MathDust: no such thing on desktop. Btw, i'm on ubuntu 5.04 :-) [21:05] @phox_ Sorry, let's CD to the right place first. [21:05] @phox_ I was telling you the wrong thing. [21:05] MonkeyDust: no such thing on desktop. Btw, i'm on ubuntu 5.04 :-) [21:05] @phox_ First say [21:05] gahlberg: 5.04 is no longer supported, use a more recent version [21:05] @phox_ cd /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications [21:05] mathgiril: hehe, no problem. [21:05] gahlberg: Ubuntu 5.04 has not been supported for the better part of half a decade. [21:05] econdudeawesome: did you try it directly in the grub menu? [21:06] gahlberg: Try 10.04 or 11.04. [21:06] I know, old cd only thing laying around [21:06] mathgirl: so should the file be called evolution.desktop or just evolution? [21:06] @phox_ If you say 'ls' you should see a list of four files. [21:06] @phox_ What do you see? [21:06] gahlberg: download a more recent ubuntu version [21:06] gahlberg: Can you burn another CD, or do you have a flash drive? [21:06] qin: thanks a good doc [21:07] ijordan_u: you can also install ubuntu out of windows i think [21:07] Jordan_U anh MonkeyDust: let me check that. thx for support [21:07] mathgirl: yeah, i have the files to view in nautilus too. The evolution.desktop that I created, gwibber and ubuntuone-control-panel. [21:07] anybody got vmware's esxi vmtools to install on ubuntu? [21:07] @phox_ Okay. Change the file called 'evolution.desktop' to just 'evolution' like you said. [21:07] Jordan_U anh MonkeyDust: I guess it was wishful thinking that 5.04 could do it [21:08] mathgirl: done. now to the chmod! [21:08] how to find hardware info in ubuntu ? for example how to find graphic card model? [21:08] omid: lspci [21:08] amazing to be 5.04 ubuntu again, btw [21:09] @phox_ Can you say 'cat evolution' and tell me what it says? [21:09] MonkeyDust i must enter it in terminal ? or its an application? [21:09] Anyone knows how to create a custom menu entry in Nautilus, that has a chackbox? [21:09] omid: terminal [21:09] omid: lspci, lshw, hwinfo [21:09] omid: in a temrinal [21:09] mathgirl: didn't say anything.. Weird! No output what so ever. [21:09] checkbox' [21:10] @phox_ Okay, you need to edit the file. [21:10] mathgirl: I created a "emty file" and just named it evolution. [21:10] matgirl: oh ok. [21:10] Hi people. I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu karmic with PHP-5.3 packages from dotdeb, but even that I added 2 lines and did "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" - it ignores the php 5.3 [21:10] is it possible to make a ubuntu usb with my favorite software and packages? [21:10] @phox_ I need you to open it with whatever the 'notepad' program is in gnome. [21:10] omid: advanced users can do it yes [21:11] yep [21:11] @phox_ It's probably called gwrite or something. What did you open it with? [21:11] i'm a newbie. [21:11] !remaster > omid [21:11] omid, please see my private message [21:11] I am trying to configure postfix to send outgoing mail from ubuntu to my exchange server on the LAN, can anyone help with that? [21:11] depends on your problem [21:12] joshua__:i have some experience with postfix [21:12] joshua a smarthost setting [21:12] mathgirl: yeah something like it. Just said text editor, think it gedit. Does it matter? :P [21:13] thank you guys . i'll try [21:13] @phox_ gedit is good. I'm just trying to make sure you're not making an .rtf or .ods or something. [21:13] hetz: it may very well be that the packages are only for supported versions of ubuntu (kermic is EOL) [21:13] @phox_ Okay, put this line in the file: [21:13] Joshua__: that question is better served in #ubuntu-server [21:13] @phox_ /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop [21:14] can anyone tell me which ati drivers are better? [21:14] arand: dozen of pages on the web disagree with you about this (not about EOL) [21:14] mathgirl: done. Ill reboot and see what happens. [21:14] @phox_ Save the file. Then in the terminal 'cat evolution' and tell me the output. [21:14] @phox_ Wait! Did you chmod 644 the file? [21:14] mathgirl: nope! haha, good thing i didnt exit xchat. [21:14] @phox_ Did you make it owned by root? [21:14] jagas: the proprietary drivers have the best preformance, if thats what your asking [21:14] @phox_ You need to [21:15] @phox_ sudo chown root:root evolution [21:15] @phox_ sudo chmod 644 evolution [21:15] mathgirl: cat evolution gives me "/usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop". [21:15] @phox_ Then if you want to be safe, you can go back over everything with me. [21:15] @phox_ Looks good. [21:15] ilovebears: im having some problems with compiz using those drivers, it makes wobbly windows lag [21:15] @phox_ What does 'pwd' say? [21:15] I'm trying to upload my code to googlecode through ubuntu and subversion... anyone think they can help me I cant seem to figure it out [21:16] mathgirl: /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop. I'm in the right dir :) [21:16] @jagas it depends of a card i gues... try 011.022.007.004.034152 it works great! [21:16] @phox_ No you're not. You should be in /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications right? [21:16] jagas: are you sure the drivers are enabled? [21:16] guntbert: I've tried both ways now (sudo update-grub and sudo update-grub2), anyt houghts why it wouldnt do this permanently? [21:17] hello, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 in classic and my wifi connection is showing Link Quality=97/100 Signal level=43/100 Noise level=0/100 in the top bar its showing Link Quality and not showing Signal Level, how do I get it to show Signal Level? [21:17] milica: can u give me a link to download that? [21:17] mathgirl: yes, i should. pwg gives "/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications", what should it give? Isnt it right? [21:17] ilovebears: yes it is enabled [21:17] in terms of compatibility - which is more close to karmic: Lenny or Squeeze? [21:18] econdudeawesome: the latter is wrong - that makes the step 1->2, if it works from the grub menu then you might have made an error regarding the config file [21:18] @jagas: wait a moment , if i can find.. [21:18] hetz: lenny and squeeze are debian, not ubuntu [21:18] @phox_ Okay. I thought you meant "I'm in the right dir: /usr/share/applications..." [21:18] @phox_ I guess everything's good. [21:18] guntbert: so at the grub menu, what exactly am I looking for? vmlinuz or initrd? [21:18] yep. reboot on that, brb [21:18] is there a wifi meter I can download that will show Signal Quality and not Link Quality? [21:18] @phox_ You want a file called /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications [21:18] @phox_ containing just one line: [21:18] in a % [21:19] yeah, I know, but I'm trying to take the dotdeb packages, and they're available for Lenny and Squeeze [21:19] eiriksvin: look for 'radar' === slasher is now known as Guest19167 [21:19] What is backend? It's eating up all my CPU and I want to kill it [21:19] @phox_ You want a file called /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution [21:19] @phox_ containing just one line: [21:19] jagas: what is the name of you ATI card?

[21:20] getting Wifi Radar now [21:20] guntbert: thanks much [21:20] where can I go for VMware trouble? [21:20] milica: so that is the open source driver.. [21:20] @phox_ And when you say 'ls -l' you should get four files that are all [21:20] eiriksvin: that's the one [21:20] @phox_ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root [21:20] jagas: did you install the driver using this gui thing(I think its named jockey) [21:21] @jagas: i really want to help you .. [21:21] vmware works fine up to the point of ANY video playing of any kind or program. Crashes the VMware environment's display driver [21:21] namely windows [21:21] Darkenvy: try virtual box [21:21] nope [21:21] VMware all the way [21:21] I tried virtual box I hated it so much [21:21] Darkenvy, I can run XBMC perfectly on virtualbox [21:21] ilovebears: i used additional drivers [21:22] mathgirl: gah.. i cant open the file. This makes me tired. Could i not name it.desktop at first and edit the content then rename it? [21:22] Im not running XMBC === nutella_ is now known as adac [21:22] Im running microsoft silverlight with the occasional VLC player (but rarely) [21:22] milica: yes i dont doubt that i just wanted to fix this lag [21:22] its for netflix online [21:22] @phox_ What do you mean 'open the file'? Like double-click it? [21:22] jagas: I would try to reinstall the driver using jockey [21:22] @phox_ Yes, if that's the way you can edit it, go for it. [21:23] milica: at the moment i have the proprietary installed using additional drivers [21:23] @jagas: ITry the official Catalyst drivers, they really pleased me , and supprised! [21:23] @phox_ But when you're done, make sure you change the ownership, groupship and permissions. [21:23] I logged into Unity and now my Gnome 2.x looks like Win98 [21:23] mathgirl: ok, give me a sec [21:23] @phox_ and name. [21:23] what can I do? [21:23] two questions about unity: is it possible to run gnome apps in the upper bar? and second: how do you switch between aplications? If i hava pidgin chat window open i do not see it anyewhere and i need to use alt + tab which is annoying [21:23] vanguard: unity is the bug, gnome is the solution [21:23] ilovebears: dont really know how to do that [21:23] Darkenvy, do you really need to watch netflix on this specific software for windows? Im pretty sure xbmc for linux can handle netflix too [21:23] milica + jagas: i think jockey installs the catalyst drivers [21:24] MonkeyDust: well, but Unity set something so that my regular gnome is messed up [21:24] sl4sh3r you dont know your stuff do you? [21:24] ilovebears + milica: i think i have that installed in the synaptic package [21:24] @jagas: i think you would be better with direct download straight from a site, but first have to remove everything thar jockey installed [21:24] I have tried everyhting from boxee to XMBC and nothing plays it because netflix runs silverlight which is proprietary [21:24] jagas: oh my bad.... what I mean are additional drivers.... [21:24] vanguard: copy paste this in a terminal: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace [21:25] i'm still having trouble with anacron. I have a job that runs if I put in my crontab and say have it run everyday, but won't run if I copy it to the etc/cron.daily dir [21:25] Darkenvy: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/43724/how-to-view-netflix-watch-instantly-in-xbmc/ [21:25] it is closed source and illegal to emulate [21:25] mathgirl: apparently i already have a filed evolution.desktop in /usr/share/applications called evolution.desktop. [21:25] thats not for netflix [21:25] hetz: Nope, getdeb don't carry php 5.3 for karmic, I assume the guides you read must be EOL likewise. === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [21:25] mathgirl: im gonna reboot and see if anything has changed, maybe its a random bug [21:26] phox_ okay... [21:26] and doesnt answer my original question,. I still use virtual machines and any slight video rendering crashes the display within the environment [21:26] Darkenvy: I've watched it with firefox+wine [21:26] phox_ It might be better to make sure we got it all right. [21:26] milica + ilovebers: did u guys have any problems with overheating? [21:26] am I to live my life forever without it ebcause I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10? no [21:26] phox_ The file called evolution.desktop should be one with lots of lines. [21:26] Darkenvy, well, that's new for me. Didn't know that netflix support was broken on boxee and xbmc. [21:27] econdudeawesome: http://imagebin.org/156512 [21:27] @jagas: No [21:27] we are going backwards [21:27] jagas: just with my notebook.... bot thats not driver related [21:27] Darkenvy: i hope you don't have to live, eternity is a long time, especially in the end [21:27] the netflix was an example and instead of fixing th eproblem you guys offered many alternatives [21:27] mathgirl: unity works now! Don't know what happened really but thanks :) [21:27] I need the problem solved [21:27] Darkenvy: i hope you don't have to live forever, eternity is a long time, especially in the end [21:27] phox_ Okay. Hopefully it worked! Good luck! [21:27] jagas: try to clean up your computer :) [21:28] I heard you the first time [21:28] Darkenvy, unfortunately I don't have experience with vmware. Do you have video driver setup with hardware acceleration on linux? [21:28] Can somebody help me install the latest version of a program? [21:28] ilovebears: i used to get over 55-60C but somebody told me to update the bios now everthing works great or at least better, and i made sure to clean the dust [21:28] mathgirl: what program? [21:28] xbindkeys [21:29] yes [21:29] mathgirl as in a later version than is a .deb? [21:29] guntbert: so I want to edit the "setparams" and add text there? [21:29] how can I check though? I think I have had some problems [21:29] guntbert: after I do this, is it permanent? [21:29] but Im running xinerama with 4 monitors [21:29] @jagas: Bye, i hope you will be satisfied! [21:29] Darkenvy, lol that`s the problem! [21:29] I suspect. apt-get only gets me 1.8.3 and I want 1.8.4 (or 1.8.5 if life's great...) [21:29] milica + ilovebears: so ill deactivate the old drivers and run the new ones you gave me, thanks a lot for your help guys [21:30] jagas: i think 55-60C is okay.... [21:30] slasher that is not the problem [21:30] Darkenvy, at least, I got similiar problems while runing triple screen with xinerama [21:30] mathgirl: why do you neeed the more current version, or do you just want it? [21:30] on 10.04 same settup. worked perfect [21:30] Darkenvy, xinerama disables hardware acceleration [21:30] mathgirl maybe a devel tree, but that can get dodgy [21:30] nope [21:30] I mean yea [21:30] but not an option [21:30] econdudeawesome: try it in the menu first, to get a feeling (you can remove the "quiet" there too [21:30] @jagas: Any time :) [21:30] ilovebears: well the thing is the win7 run with 45-48 [21:30] Current apt version crashes for a reason that was fixed in latest actual version. [21:30] I got VMware to be perfect on 10.04. im on 10.10 now same setup and everything [21:30] clean install BTW not upgrade === jthomas_ is now known as TheDracle [21:31] Darkenvy, you mean that back in 10.04 everything was working fine even with xinerama ON? [21:31] jonesst1 How do I use a development tree? [21:31] jagas: if you deactivate all that fancy 3d-desktop-animation stuff it should be the same [21:31] guntbert: text is there, but it still boots to gdm [21:32] KM0201, I need it because the current apt version doesn't work for a reason that is fixed in the latest actual version. [21:32] econdudeawesome: let me try [21:32] hmm [21:33] sl4sh3r yes that is correct [21:33] Darkenvy, are you installing the same vmware version on the 10.10? [21:33] yes sir I am [21:33] mathgirl in debian i'd go look at the tree and if I had waht I wanted add it to /etc/apt/sources.list, I assume ubuntu is similar [21:33] wait actually no I am not sure I was handed the disk [21:33] but it would not be older [21:33] jonesst1, where is the tree I should look at? [21:33] we got VMware for the first time in '10 so it cant be older [21:34] think its the version? [21:34] econdudeawesome: here it works: in the grub menu you move the cursor to the end of the line where my "arrow" points, remove "quiet" and write "text" (without quotes), then press ctrl+x to boot === debian2 is now known as maN45 [21:35] Darkenvy, well, im not sure honestly. But since you have such a uncommon display setting, I doubt that developers do really care if the software is gonna work on it so I think trying to install the same version is a valid try. [21:36] okay [21:36] for some reason my comp is not recognizing new ipods... any help would be greatly appreciated! [21:36] also for future reference, there should be a codeword for 'I dont want an alternative I need the problem solved' lol === guido is now known as Guest7842 === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [21:37] guntbert: so "quiet" overpowers "text" then [21:37] Darkenvy, lol I tried to give an alterative because I didn't understand that netflix was only an example [21:37] Darkenvy: some problems do not have a solution (yet) [21:38] i am havin gprinter problems anybody available to help?

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ».

I don't do anything special with apt ever, so exotic repositories etc. are difficult for me. [21:40] Darkenvy, by the way. I know that there is a guide on the ubuntuforums that shows a way to enable hardware acceleration on xinerama setups. But it needs a lot of hacking and patchs. [21:40] Nitration: http://club.myce.com/f3/full-circle-ubuntu-issue-11-27-march-2008-a-242114/ [21:40] it would be just adding a line or to [21:41] it might be in sources.list already [21:41] econdudeawesome: even *with* text? [21:41] guntbert: correct [21:42] monkey what is that [21:42] sl4sh3r really? I am interested [21:42] jonesst1, I don't exactly know what's going on. As I say, I don't use exotic repositories or anything. [21:42] cd /etc/apt [21:42] ilovebears: i just installed the proprietary drivers from amd site and i cant tell that my laptop is running hot [21:42] Darkenvy, if you take a look on youtube you will find plenty of videos. But I really doubt how stable it is. I will drop a link on private. [21:43] This is what I want: http://tx0.org/27v [21:43] jagas: nice [21:43] okay [21:43] Okay, hold on. [21:43] Hello [21:43] ilovebears: well is that a good thing i mean.. it is really hot underneath it [21:44] mathgirl i'd try and download the deb and install it [21:44] Darkenvy: your problem is too uncommon, few people heve encounterd it, if you find a solution or workaround, that makes you the expert :) [21:44] ilovebears: and i have a laptopcoolertoo so.. [21:44] jagas: oh, i thought it is NOT running hot [21:44] econdudeawesome: when your screen looks like http://imagebin.org/156516 ? [21:44] ilovebears: yea i wish [21:45] Nitration you may want to read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [21:45] jonesst1, so if I install it with debihandler will it ever update itself in future once apt catches up? [21:45] mathgirl, i dont know on that.....if the version numbers are correct I assume yes.... [21:45] guntbert: I change the text (delete teh options splash and quiet, make sure text is there) then press f10 or ctrl+x [21:45] ilovebears: my idle time was 90% i have python and Xorg taking that 10% [21:45] hi folks. running natty on a macbook pro (4,1) with the nvidia-proprietary drivers. When enabling twinview, everything looks good. When starting totem, twinview breaks. i.e., the external monitor still displays a picture, but I can't move the mouse form the primary to the secondary display. any ideas on how to hunt this down? [21:45] Well, I'll give it a shot and see what happens... [21:46] the same happens when starting games like SC2 via wine [21:46] playing videos via gmplayer works fine [21:46] jagas: while doing nothing? [21:46] ilovebears: just the terminal [21:47] jagas: weird..... [21:47] I have a samba share set up on a Natty box. Other Natty users on the network can see it, but not windows xp. Is there a special setup to make it visible to xp users? [21:48] econdudeawesome: strange - are you certain you are editing the correct line? The one starting with linux ? (it will wrap into the next screen line but still is one line in an editor) [21:48] should i report a bug about this? and if so, where? [21:48] ilovebears: ill leave my laptop on suspend for a while and ill come back when everthing cools down and then ill see if it gets hot too fast [21:48] is fbpanel the same as trayer? [21:48] guntbert: yes. Not sure why it's not working--it worked fine until I added xfce, then stopped working [21:48] jagas: is the problem with the wobbely windows fixed? [21:49] jagas: dont suspend it; shut it down [21:49] ilovebears: well when i restart everything goes back to normal, the problem shows up after a couple of hours using the pc [21:50] suspend works just fine for me [21:50] econdudeawesome: I confess to have no idea either - is it by chance a virtual machine? (so you could show us a screenshot) [21:50] guntbert: unfortunately it is not [21:50] can someone please help me to login in my ubuntu box? [21:50] Sl4sh3r: whatsup [21:51] Sl4sh3r: ask, don't ask to ask :) [21:51] Sl4sh3r: What's wrong? [21:51] econdudeawesome, oh lol ok! [21:51] well [21:51] its kinda weird [21:51] I turn on the machine [21:51] Sl4sh3r: please put ur question in one line [21:51] jagas: just try to let i cool down [21:51] and I have by default the window manager disabled [21:51] ok [21:51] Sl4sh3r: put complete thought on one line, not six. [21:51] hi all [21:52] jagas: i dont think the drivers will help but at least try it [21:52] Sl4sh3r: have you tried "startx" or "services start gdm"? [21:52] is fbpanel the same package as trayer? [21:52] When I turn on the box, I dont have tty login access to my ubuntu 10.04. I have window manager disabled by default. [21:52] Sl4sh3r: what box? [21:53] box I mean the computer [21:53] econdudeawesome: I cannot imagine what xfce should have to do with it, but well..., sorry for mot being able to help [21:53] Sl4sh3r: hold down shift to bring up the grub menu, then choose Ubuntu .... (Recovery Mode). Is this something you want to fix, I reckon? [21:53] guntbert: no problem. I think I'll just take off the GUI--I just want it as a box I can ssh into anyway === earth is now known as Guest41908 [21:54] guntbert: actually--i just realized it wasn't xfce, it was upgrading to ubuntu 11.04 [21:54] hi folks. running natty on a macbook pro (4,1) with the nvidia-proprietary drivers. When enabling twinview, everything looks good. When starting totem or some games via wine, twinview breaks (using gmplayer works fine). i.e., the external monitor still displays a picture, but I can't move the mouse form the primary to the secondary display. any ideas on how to hunt this down? [21:55] Sl4sh3r: I'm also confused why you cannot bring up a shell with ctrl+alt+f (1 through 7) [21:55] econdudeawesome: wise resolution :) (the screenshots I showed you were from 11.04) [21:55] jonesst1, Yay! It works. I just 'sudo gdebi pkg.deb' and got what I wanted. Thank you for your patience. [21:55] should i use xfce on a 2006 macbook? [21:55] Sl4sh3r, well, I want to fix it, yes. I have already tryed the recovery mode on grub. I still don't get the tty login access. But I do receive a message: "ureadahead-other main process terminated" and "assuming drive cache: write through" [21:55] srm: it may be due to mac hardware [21:55] Sl4sh3r: thats a very strange error. Is anyone else here familiar with this issue? [21:56] MonkeyDust: uhm, which part and why? I can't think of something. [21:56] econdudeawesome, I'm confused too! I just can't press CRTL+ALT+F# and get a a tty shel!! I tryed and I just get a completely black screen with one white underline character (not blinking). [21:56] hey guys [21:56] Sl4sh3r: do you have more than one pc in the same network? if yes, use ssh [21:56] MonkeyDust, I don't have ssh enabled on the machine [21:56] He [21:56] Sl4sh3r: can you boot a livecd? [21:57] Im on the live cd right now [21:57] nevermind, I'll test the nuveou (?) driver and report a bug [21:57] Is it possible to upgrade a ubuntu machine 5 to 10 [21:57] Sl4sh3r: ssh can be enabled, but do you have more than one pc? [21:57] is there a tutorial [21:57] why would anyone use SUID permissions? and what's the use of this permission? [21:57] Yes, I got 2 machines [21:57] Sl4sh3r: mount the hard drive, navigate to /etc/default/grub [21:57] TEST [21:57] Sl4sh3r: /etc/default, rather [21:58] Sl4sh3r: on the other pc, use ssh -Y user@ip "metacity& gnome-panel&" [21:58] how do I replace Unity with Gnome? [21:58] Sl4sh3r: back up grub, and then try "text" where the options are (options are things like splash, quiet, etc) [21:58] Saus4ages: in the gdm menu, choose ubuntu classic [21:58] thanks MonkeyDust [21:58] heloo [21:59] Sl4sh3r: if that doesn't get tyou to a tty shell, try MonkeyDust's suggestion (or start with that one, whichever) [21:59] anyone knows how to set zend frame work on ubuntu 11 ! ? [21:59] or try it ? [22:00] econdudeawesome, do I have to remove "splash and quiet"? [22:00] Sl4sh3r: probably not [22:01] MonkeyDust, is that possible to do even if I dont have ssh-server installed? [22:01] guntbert: is it possible I have somehow set up a flag to force xserver to start? [22:02] Sl4sh3r: do you have on [22:02] ok any one knows good channel to ask about zend frame work ? [22:02] ? [22:02] hi im new to ubuntu, whats a good bit torrent client ? [22:02] Sl4sh3r: do you have a cli on the target pc? [22:02] kalimojo: deluge [22:02] How do I stop feedback from a microphone [22:02] guntbert: I vaguely recall setting something like "service gdm start" or something like that to some startup config file.

[22:03] MonkeyDust, I dont have ssh-server installed and neither enabled. I don't have access to any kind of cli because I cant login (even on tty). [22:03] Can't you right click on a folder, choose script and then run the script from the marked folder? [22:03] econdudeawesome: I never heard of such a flag, and you are the first one to tell that "text" doesn't work -- ouch, that *could* be it [22:03] kalimojo: never heard of bitch, sorry [22:04] Sl4sh3r: try if you have acces over ssh [22:04] monkeydust bitche is a windows program that searches all torrent sites [22:04] alright, thanks everyone one. It's time to reboot and pray! =D [22:04] is there a gui app that shows disk io stats, similar to what the system monitor does for network, app cpu and memory? [22:04] guntbert: where would one edit startup programs? [22:04] can't help you kalimojo , havent used windoze since 2006 [22:05] lynx``: perhaps "alsamixer" in the command line? [22:06] I tried alsmixer [22:06] What I did was for F3 Playback, I put the microphone all the way down to 0 [22:06] What? [22:06] It took away t he feedback, but at the same time, it made it so I couldn't record withi the mic [22:06] hi [22:07] econdudeawesome: no real idea, sorry [22:07] I'm thinking of switching to Windows 7 or MacOS at this point for serious audio editing and recording [22:07] lynx``: do you have mic boost set on? [22:07] I tried gnome-volume-control, but it did the same thing [22:07] !enter | lynx`` [22:07] lynx``: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:07] lynx``: oic [22:07] For mic boost it says MM [22:07] so muted [22:08] I also tried Mic2 instead of Mic1, it did the same thing [22:08] So, can you guys tell me is 11MB/s is ok speed for copying to nfs share on 100mbit link?
