[00:00] lekefly_, no thats not right [00:00] Is there a way to do a select all -> copy to a termianl scrollback? [00:01] in the default termianl app in X in the latest ubuntu? [00:01] lekefly_, which iso did you download? [00:01] I know you can highlight and copy, but it's like 5,000 pages deep. [00:01] sulucohmun: just download the patch file and in the source directory run: patch -p1 < /path/to/patchfile [00:01] in a git-patch, when you see a plus + and minus - symbols next to the lines, does - mean remove the line, + mean add line? [00:02] @trism: how would I download this patch? if i use "git clone https://github.com/Caccc/Gnome-shell-extension-Mediasplayers.git" it downloads the unpatched sounrce? how do i specify with git to download it "patched"? [00:02] is there a way to delete files that arent on OS drives to the trash? [00:02] feyd: Yes. [00:03] Hey I have a question?

[00:04] avance0242: Fairly complex stuff; Bradford Networks markets a solution to the educational market. [00:04] feyd: I don't do it with window managers. :-) [00:04] Corey: I feel like I had it working before and did something and it doesnt work anymore, I wanted to make sure i wanst crazy mostly [00:04] julie Thanks.

[00:19] Stultissimus: I'm afraid that's very hard to do... [00:19] I think my CD was busted, should probably just re-install, but it might be a bit too late for that at this point [00:19] Stultissimus: that's pretty much why data recovery centers exist, IMHO (that and HDD failures) [00:19] Stultissimus: back up the data if they can be recovered, reinstall & put the data back [00:20] nincompooop: Hm... do you at least know a way to recover the data in its original structure? [00:20] szal: I could do that as a last resort, but I am worried that could take days to sort through all of my files, which show up with no organization. [00:21] Stultissimus: dunno man, I was never epicly good with data recovery... as far as my knowledge is concerned, unless you have stuff that's backed up, it's toast. [00:21] Stultissimus: The better option is to recover from backup. [00:21] see, I was looking into a simple 'undelete' solution for linux as well... something that was as simple as piriform's 'undelete' or the blessed 'R-Studio' however, I was unable to find anything but dd [00:21] Stultissimus: life lesson hopefully learned. ;) [00:21] rinkukokiri: testdisk [00:21] Corey: I was stupid and haven't backed up in months... however, that could be useful. [00:22] rinkukokiri: haha, dd... classic. [00:22] Stultissimus: Then you've learned a valuable lesson at probably too high of a cost. [00:22] * nincompooop should really consider backing things up more often... [00:22] Szal: Nah, I love getting myself in trouble. The adrenaline pulsing through my veins as I bang my head against the desk can't be beat. [00:22] I have a stupid newbie question [00:22] lekefly_, put your spare usb drive in and unmount anything that gets automounted [00:22] go ahead Ander_ [00:23] Corey: Like I said, the data is there. I might just have to write it all to an external hard drive and drag it back manually after restoring. [00:23] anyone know why doing a whois on a Canadian IP doesnt work? [00:23] I'm trying to create a panel shortcut for Minecraft. java -jar ~/Minecraft/minecraft.jar works just fine in the console but not in a launcher [00:23] Stultissimus: sounds like a plan. [00:24] n0va: did /server irc.evilzone.org work? [00:24] Ander_, you may have to specify the path of java?? in term try which java [00:24] pfifo: alright done [00:24] Ander_: wrap the command in a shell script [00:25] lekefly_, now sudo -s, and run this command replacing X with the letter of you usb drive (this will erase all data on your disk `wget -O /dev/sdX "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso"` [00:25] I will try the shell script idea... Only have one path to Java [00:25] spinxd, what is the IP so I can give it a try to see? [00:25] julie: 8.8.8.8? [00:26] it's a DNS server. [00:26] julie 24.37.188.237 [00:27] Corey, Szal, Nincompooop: Thanks for your comments. I suppose that it's time for me to start burning to a hard drive, and do a system restore... unless I stumble upon something revolutionary, like a drunken monkey with a knack for electronics. I have one last lead to follow before this, though. I'll talk to you later, after I overwrite my savings account with Ubuntu :> [00:27] spinxd, it is a Videotron IP... works for me [00:27] lekefly_, in the mean time, on the boot options of the alternate install press fc and choose noacpi andacpi=off then boot with the install ubuntu command [00:27] lol [00:27] Stultissimus: no prob. :) [00:27] julie can you msg me what it gives you?

[00:40] hey pfifo can i ask you somthing [00:40] pfifo: Yeah.. but it might be corrupt.. it wont boot aswell :p [00:40] BioS-615: Use software sources to stop using regional servers; try the original ones and see if your problem goes away. [00:40] sulucohmun: it looks like the spacing in the patch got mangled somehow, http://pastebin.com/i7Cu2FgJ should work although will complain about a missing newline at the end (I have no idea if the patched version works though, I don't have banshee installed) [00:40] q__, yes [00:40] what version of linux are you using [00:40] lekefly_, it wont boot? does it give that same error?

[00:41] hey pfifo [00:42] does apt-get install dependecies default [00:42] Fretta: please rephrase [00:42] BioS-615: There's something odd with your setup then. [00:43] lekefly_, ok pop that usb drive back in the working ubuntu, unmount and try this `wget -O /dev/sdX "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso"` then boot from that, you are definatly having a hardware issue here maybe 64 bit will work better [00:43] Corey: I've reinstalled, downloaded the alternate version and reinstalled, still nothing. [00:43] when using apt-get install, does this install the dependencies for a particular package, default... or do i need to specify with an option flag?

[00:47] engammalsko, remove that "Partition" part from those lines, thats not supposed top be there [00:47] pfifo: does it really use 6 secs to download and make the usb bootable? [00:47] lekefly_, yes, 19MB [00:47] pfifo: It's the name of the drives. [00:48] The names are "Windows Partition" and "Linux Partition" sorry for confusing. [00:48] engammalsko: easiest thing to do is remove the space from the mount direcotry [00:48] engammalsko, then you nee to say it like this "/dev/sdb1 /media/Windows\ Partition ntfs defaults 0 0" [00:49] Fretta: you're either pretty new or pretty blind if you haven't seen that yet :P .. test case -> 'sudo apt-get -d install emacs' <- that would only download the pkgs, but it'll most likely ask for confirmation anyway [00:49] pfifo: Alright.. so just run from disk or what? [00:50] pfifo: oh.. it auto booted.. same error :P [00:50] szal thnx for the nice comments, but also thax for the -d flag [00:50] engammalsko: for future reference, *nix handles spaces as "foo\ bar" [00:51] Fretta: no offence meant [00:51] pfifo: in it now again.. just shot if you have ideas what i can try [00:51] szal :) [00:51] gohdan: *nix ?

[00:52] Thanks for the answers anyway :) [00:52] lekefly_, by pressing pause during boot [00:52] engammalsko: its a a commonly used abbreviation for UNIX-like systems.

I think it could be done on ANY board. It's just slower without hardware support [01:02] windows suppots more than one architecture now? [01:02] No not technically, just reasonably quick [01:03] pfifo: http://www.cl.ly/3J2Q32043e16360T1t19 [01:03] pfifo: win CE runs on MIPS [01:03] I just want to know if a atom box with 8gb has enough balls to do it [01:04] can I uinstall a list of packages all at once? I have a txt file with a list of packages, 1 per line [01:04] Jymmm, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support. please take it to the appropriate channel [01:04] feyd, sure [01:04] bazhang: so which ubuntu channel would that be? [01:04] Jymmm, none. ##hardware [01:04] bazhang: any suggestions as to how? [01:04] pfifo: Can i just get a hold of a windows iso and use the command you gave me to make it bootable on usb? :P [01:05] feyd, you want a purekde or the like? [01:05] lekefly_, thats definatly a hardware issue, the kernel crashes right away [01:05] lekefly_, no that little trick with wget doesnt even work with most linux isos [01:05] bazhang: wha? I installed AWN in XFCE, it installed a shitton of Gnome shit that I don't want, so I want to purge the crap that came with it [01:05] feyd, no need for the cursing [01:06] bazhang: apologies, not directed at anyone [01:06] feyd, are you removing awn as well? it may need those gnome libs [01:06] bazhang: yep, it's all going [01:06] feyd, xfce in ubuntu is just a mini gnome [01:06] pfifo: What hardware do you think is wrong? :p [01:07] feyd, then copy and paste into the terminal [01:07] lekefly_, your CPU or FSB [01:07] feyd: sudo aptitude purge foo bar pkg1 pkg2 etc1 etc2 [01:07] gohdan: ah that works, thanks [01:07] sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev --> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/libgssrpc4_1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.4_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.169 80] [01:07] FBS is on the mb right? :p [01:07] lekefly_, yeah [01:08] whats FBS? [01:08] Fretta, try switching mirrors via synaptic package manager [01:08] pfifo: alright.. ill try to swap mb.. but i just got 2 of the same tho.. [01:08] what is /dev/null? [01:08] Fretta, front side bus (FSB) [01:08] ah ok thanks [01:08] /dev/null is a bottomless pit [01:08] bonhoffer, nothing [01:08] where do I edit synaptic package manager? [01:09] brianmwaters: got that, so is it an empty file? [01:09] nope [01:09] bonhoffer: do you know what a device special file is? [01:09] Fretta: if you want to edit something, edit /etc/apt/sources.list [01:09] brianmwaters: nope [01:09] well [01:09] szal this is the list of where to download packages from? [01:09] in unix, almost everything is represented as files...... [01:09] i'm the question asker dude . . . your the expert! [01:09] Fretta: indeed [01:09] including devices [01:10] pfifo: What are the odds that its the CPU rather than MB? both are brand new like 5 days old [01:10] szal nice, :) thanks again [01:10] brianmwaters: like /dev/hda [01:10] for example, /dev/sda is usually your hard disk. [01:10] yes [01:10] if you wrote to that you'd fry your os! [01:10] got it, so what really is that? -- a device special file? [01:10] Fretta: note the 2 letters behind the 'http://', that's a top-level domain indicating the country; you could put whatever you like there, I guess, as long as the TLD exists [01:10] can you do file operations on those? [01:11] yes, /dev/sda is a device file. [01:11] szal thanks for the tip [01:11] but there's also a bunch of device files in there that don't correspond to real devices [01:11] lekefly_, pretty good, CPUs are so sensitive to everything [01:11] other than that, there might be a mirror list to be found somewhere [01:11] like /dev/tty0 [01:11] and also /dev/null [01:11] when you write to /dev/null, nothing happens [01:12] brianmwaters: got it [01:12] so what is tty? [01:12] i see that all over the place? [01:12] pfifo: bah :p [01:13] Where is xorg.conf saved at? [01:13] bonhoffer, most of this is easily searchable on the internet and is not ubuntu specific [01:13] bazhang: cool, i'm ok with you not participating [01:13] TheLifelessOne: by default there isn't one [01:13] bonhoffer, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic , in other words [01:13] pfifo: How can i have 2 CPUs that are not working.. *facepalm* [01:13] TheLifelessOne: /etc/X11/ [01:13] fair enough [01:13] aeon-ltd: How do I get one? [01:14] when did ubuntu stop having seperate desktop and server distros? [01:14] rich, they did not [01:14] lekefly_, you have 2 cpus in the machine? you could try testing them seperately [01:14] brianmwaters: appreciate the insight [01:14] lekefly_: There's no xorg.conf in that directory. [01:15] bazhang, ah, the website just changed a bit. [01:15] nice, default audio volume in *buntu is louder than in SUSE, and it distorts less :) [01:16] pfifo: no in another machine:p [01:16] Anyone? I kinda need to have the file for my drivers to work properly. [01:17] TheLifelessOne, you need to create one [01:17] bazhang: How can I do that? [01:17] TheLifelessOne, nvidia card? [01:17] TheLifelessOne, did you install a vidcard driver ? I know the nvidia driver creates a xorg.conf [01:17] bazhang: VIA. [01:17] openChrome drivers. [01:18] does ubuntu 11.04 use gtk 2.xx or gtk 3.xx? [01:19] !info gtk [01:19] Package gtk does not exist in natty [01:19] !info gtk2 [01:19] Package gtk2 does not exist in natty [01:19] BigMac1, whats the real issue [01:20] bazhang, i want to download themes, and i'm unsure wether to choose gtk 2 or 3 [01:21] BigMac1: gtk2 [01:21] BigMac1, seems like gtk2 from the gtk2-engines [01:21] rww: ok, thanks [01:22] anyone know how often canonical updates the screenshots.debian.net mirror it uses for the software center? [01:22] hmmm.. just tried to log into a remote server like I usually do, but got the message "Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)." -- how do I change that? [01:23] gohdan: as the URL implies, that server isn't maintained by Canonical. [01:23] or a better question would be: why do so many of them on the site have screenshots but the software center mirror doesnt? === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:24] rww: the site isnt. but canonical maintains a mirror that it uses to display them in the software center [01:24] szal, use the right password? [01:25] pfifo: I copied ~/.ssh/ from my other home [01:25] it should ask me for passphrase [01:25] szal, you need your gpg keys then [01:25] Is there any way to recreate Desktop, Video, Pictures, etc. folders in /home/? I have /home on separate partition, which I had to reformat and now the above mentioned folders act as normal and not 'special' folders. [01:26] szal, .pki [01:26] pfifo: ? [01:26] szal, ~/.pki/ [01:26] pfifo: doesn't exist here [01:27] szal, key based ssh is out of my area of expertise [01:27] vanjafx: i don't know how those special folders are supposed to work, because i get rid of them. they are associated w/ a certain package. maybe you could reinstall it. [01:28] don't remember what it's called sorry [01:28] pfifo: ah, slight diversion in syntax [01:28] brianmwaters, another 'anomaly' is that my actual desktop references to ~ [01:29] vanjafx: mine does too! i did it on purpose [01:29] it's a symlink on my machine [01:29] pfifo: on *buntu I need to explicitly state the username as which to log in (on SUSE I don't) [01:30] brianmwaters, I don't even know what to google for in this case... [01:30] szal, no you dont, if you username on both servers is the same [01:30] pfifo: ah, then that's the problem, I changed my local username for *buntu [01:30] vanjafx: what's so special about those "special" files [01:31] szal, its good habit to just always use a username anyway [01:32] brianmwaters, Dunno... they have nice icons and show up in the nautilus sidebar, and various apps point to them (think word processor points to Documents, video editor to Videos etc.). [01:33] when you want to open/save files, that is [01:33] vanjafx: just drag them to the nautilus sidebar [01:33] vanjafx, I would think they are nautilus so sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus [01:33] they are not part of nautilus. [01:34] try ubuntu-desktop then [01:34] it definitely depends on ubuntu-desktop. [01:35] perhaps indirectly [01:35] robin0800, will try now [01:37] nothing changed [01:37] haha [01:37] vanjafx: those directories are controlled by ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and running xdg-user-dirs-update [01:37] thar ye go [01:37] Hey guys, I'm running liveCD trying to format and delete /dev/sda5, but it's saying it's mounted. `mount` doesn't seem to say so, though: http://pastebin.com/5iYtUTzy [01:38] hey, wondering if there's any way to hide the unity dock in 11.04 [01:38] My exact error is: http://pastebin.com/pRMjAZ05 [01:38] i wanna use docky instead [01:38] er, trying to format/delete via gparted [01:38] let's try this again [01:40] so, i like the menu system of 11.04, how the application menus are at the top, however, the left dock is kinda annoying, wondering if I can just get rid of that dock and use docky instead ? [01:40] How do i fix the "Checking batteri .. ok" message i get on a ubuntu desktop pc? [01:42] flaiks: afaik, the menus at the top are all part of unity's dock. I'd assume you'd simply uninstall unity's dock (or unity) and install docky in its place [01:42] does docky allow the menus at the top ? [01:43] Hey all, I just installed 11.04 on My macbook pro ( ver 4.1) and for some reason I can not get my sound working. I tried googling but I couldn't find anything. Any ideas? [01:43] trism: that did the trick! thanks! now i need to figure out how to point desktop to ~/Desktop. [01:43] i don't understand vanjafx === mike is now known as Guest95603 [01:44] can't you just make a folder called Desktop? [01:44] i just did, but it doesn't link to the desktop per se [01:44] what do you mean it doesnt link to the desktop [01:45] Hey guys, it seems like the LiveCD is using my hard drive's /dev/sda5 as swap space. Can anyone tell me more about this? [01:45] vanjafx: that is one of the options in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, XDG_DESKTOP_DIR [01:45] vanjafx: you will need to restart nautilus before it takes effect: nautilus -q [01:46] trism: well i'll be damned. worked [01:46] love you! :) [01:46] How do i fix the "Checking batteri .. ok" message i get on a ubuntu desktop pc? [01:47] !ping [01:47] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to respond to factoid requests. Call that job satisfaction? Because I don't. [01:47] ? [01:47] I'm looking for a program that can resize photos. [01:48] LMFAO, I love that book. [01:48] kennett, gimp might be your choice. [01:48] Hi, anyone around? [01:48] I'm having a problem. I distribute an application. Actually a Java application. The application also provides a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/. Directly after installing the .deb package, the Dash can find the application, but if I start it, only a gray box with question mark and title "win0" appears in the launcher. Pinning that is not possible and also vanishes if you restart unity. This be [01:48] haviour exists until Unity is restarted. From then on all behaves well. Is there any trigger call I have to make in my postinst script to make this work properly immediately after installation? [01:48] Vampire0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === LasTwo is now known as Lasivian [01:51] I use picasa but for some reason it's not working. Can gimp resize a batch of photos? [01:52] Vampire0: I've had fun with java and unity. Good luck. [01:53] Dismount, I don't think that Java is the problem here [01:53] If you refer to double icons for running vs. pinned, that is not a problem at all [01:56] oh darn, this was a fresh install in a VM so I forgot to kick out the crappy OpenJDK [01:56] After installing the Sun JDK it works like a charm right from the start [01:58] How do i fix the "Checking batteri state.. ok" message i get on a ubuntu desktop pc? cant seem to remove it [01:58] nit-wit - gimp only lets you do one photo at a time. [01:58] I need to do a batch of over 400. [02:00] kennett, what about imagemagick [02:00] bazhang: I'll try it and see. [02:00] how do i disable network manager? [02:02] royale1223, you wish to use the command line instead? [02:02] royale1223, i think having an entry in /etc/network/interfaces should disable nm for that device. there is also an nm command line client [02:02] I can't post questions to the newgroup for ubuntu. ??? Thunderbird says it is sending but I never see the article. [02:02] How can I restart X without rebooting? [02:02] bazhang: yes [02:03] TheLifelessOne: Logout. [02:03] nm resets interfaces file on each reboot [02:03] rypervenche: No alternatives? [02:03] TheLifelessOne: Why would you need one? [02:03] Don't want to log out, really. [02:03] TheLifelessOne, "sudo restart gdm" [02:04] royale1223, no need to remove/disable it; unless you want to install an alternative like wicd which default removes it [02:04] I am having trouble locating the following perl lib in the ubuntu default repos: XML::RSS::Parser Any ideas?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:58] thats the one [02:58] Yeah, I was doing it from my memory too [02:58] restricted drivers won't work. trust me, i've spent way too much time trying to get netflix on linux. [02:58] Alright haha [02:59] Ok when I installed Ubuntu 11.04 for the first time, It restarted and it said something about monitor needs to change [02:59] Now 10 seconds later ubuntu started [02:59] phoenixkc: Understood.

[03:03] Calling will not work for me. We could try TeamViewer, but you would need working internet [03:04] How about calling me via my google account? [03:04] Then I couldn't get your number or any information [03:04] I am not worried about that. : ) It is just this computer has no mic, and calling or voice won't work, as I will wake up others in the house. [03:04] Could you skype? [03:04] Yes [03:04] Treaver: you shouldn't give your personal information out, so freely, to strangers, especially in a large public channel.

[03:07] i like xp, why you guys hating [03:08] Fretta, Amen [03:08] darnell: this is ubuntu, try #pxelinux [03:09] hmm nvm, they don't have a precense on this network apparently, google it :) [03:09] non existant, pxelinux is included with ubuntu netboot [03:10] How do I set grub to boot a specified kernel (an older one) instead of the one it chooses by default (the newest one)? [03:10] ah ask away then ;) [03:10] darnell, just ask your question someone might be able to help [03:10] darnell, whats the problem and whats your goals here? [03:10] lekefly_: Consider reading the following, though they do not mention the particular value to look for and I can't remember what it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1748975 [03:11] Snakkah, just select classic ubuntu from the log in screen bottom right corner pretty much [03:11] Ok, I would love to add an entry to boot LTSP on my ubuntu pxe install server. the LTSP is on another server [03:12] billy_, that's not what I'm asking. I'm running Lucid lol. What I'm asking is how to make GRUB (the boot loader) load a different kernel than the one it selects by default? [03:15] Snakkah, so you have them installed and just want to switch [03:15] Snakkah, install startup manager you can change the default,time out, resolution. [03:16] Any1 in here use Picasa? [03:16] I need help changing the date and time on a photo in picasa. [03:16] Hello [03:17] snakkah just run sudo apt-get install grub-pc in shell then it will run you through a setup where you can select your boot loader [03:17] How does one install ubuntu on another drive inside of ubuntu [03:17] kennett, yo9u are asking us to help you lie? [03:17] im boot inside of ubuntu, and i have a blank harddrive i'd like to install linux on with otu a cd or usb stick [03:17] nit-wit: What do you mean help me lie? [03:18] Xenland, so why not just switch harddrives and run the install [03:19] kennett, "I need help changing the date and time on a photo" speaks for itself. [03:19] I don't have a usb stick or a blank cd [03:19] lekefly_: I have another one for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1692249 This thread notes a value but it is different than the one I don't remember. :-/ :-D [03:19] I already had linux installed [03:19] then you cant do it it needs to be burned as an iso file [03:19] is there a way to burn it on a parition, then boot inside of the partition? [03:20] Xenland, nope you need to do it as an iso because at the moment you only have one file once burned you'll have a complete install [03:21] nit-wit: Do you know how to weather that's why or not? [03:21] Xenland, why not just buy some blank disks there cheaper than toilet roll nowadays [03:22] kennett: Give gimp a go, I think it can edit metadata in a photo [03:22] I live on the outskirts of town about 30minutes away(driving) its going to be about a week till i get my registration back on my truck [03:22] thanks for your help tho billy_ [03:22] !gimp | kennett [03:22] kennett: gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [03:22] Xenland, no worries [03:23] gimp can't do a batch of photos can it? [03:23] kennett: Yes I think it can [03:24] hi ive just installed the new release of ubuntu onto my acer 1640z but the screen keeps on going like static and i have to restart any ideas anyone?? im also running off a moniter because my lcd inverters broken could this be my problem though it didnt happen on windows [03:24] Apple_Cat: Do you know how because I've tried. === david is now known as Guest29013 [03:25] kennett: If you're having problems with it there is another program that is made for batch processing (well sort of anyway). It's called ImageMagick [03:26] Apple_Cat: It's installed on my system but can't get it to work either. :( [03:26] kennett: Just google imagemagick metadata and you'll find a bunch of stuff, read the man page for imagemagick too [03:27] hi guys, I have a ubuntu server with native IPv6 capibility, I would like to route my home connection through it, this consists of both Windows and Linux computers, how can I go about getting it work, and most importantly, cross-platform? [03:28] kennett: And if that still doesn't work, I'd just stick to manually editing the metadata on a photo program, this I know gimp does but you might even have luck with regular photo viewing programs [03:29] hi ive just installed the new release of ubuntu onto my acer 1640z but the screen keeps on going like static and i have to restart any ideas anyone?? im also running off a moniter because my lcd inverters broken could this be my problem though it didnt happen on windows [03:29] someone please hekp [03:29] billy_: You said that it worked under Microsoft Windows so I'm probably wrong about this, but did you think to switch display modes as part of your function keys would provide for? [03:30] brown_fern, yes displays switched to both moniters its only the backlight on the laptop that dosnt work [03:32] nit-wit change server to wut regarding the 404 errors when using the default apt-get install...

Any idea why it would segfault? The log file reports error 6 or error 7 in libGL. [03:34] prezident, just got to thatdesktop or open it the one you are in and move it there [03:34] Fretta: i can't find any sources list tho can you? [03:34] i know that hiepo im talking about having it start only in that desktop [03:34] Xenland no. trying to google now... [03:35] Xenland let me no if you find anything and vice versa [03:35] fretta: ill keep you posted :) [03:35] after activating fglrx I get a black box around my screen halp? [03:35] Xenland thanks [03:36] Does Ubuntu 10.10 Save all packages by Default on the system [03:36] Monotoko, it would depend on how your subnet is routed to you; you may be able to do simple forwarding, or you may have to ndp proxy; maybe try in #ipv6 [03:36] Or Does it Erase them [03:38] hello [03:38] jose | !help [03:38] billy_: It seems other people are experiencing the same problem across multiple Linux distributions. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1714484 [03:39] im newbie [03:39] using this platform [03:39] does anybody know how to make an application only open up on a certain desktop ? [03:40] brown_fern, i usually wait for the next release to come out before upgrading i dont know why i didnt wait [03:41] Xenland try upating your source list: sudo aptitude update [03:41] jose: Hello, if you'd just like to chat with folk try #ubuntu-offtopic by contrast #ubuntu is for problem solving. [03:41] updating* [03:41] and then re-run your command you were originally trying [03:43] notta, still 404 upon asking if i would like to continue [03:44] Does ubuntu 10.10 save the packages by default when you download and install packages or do you need to specify to save them [03:44] okay guys. i feel like i'm taking crazy pills. can anybody tell me if it's possible to tell ubuntu to open steam URLs using steam? [03:45] fretta: i followed the sources links in my /etc/apt/source.list and it looks like jaunty dosent exist in the dist folder, that could be a reason why [03:45] Xenland and you tried updating? [03:45] hypodermia: is steam comptible with linux? [03:46] fretta: yeah i tried that, i get 404 errors when running that aswell [03:46] Xenland hmm I wonder if Jaunty is still supported [03:46] Xenland: runs in wine fine. tbqh i want the URIs handled with this command: wine c:\\program\ files\\steam\\steam.exe [03:46] if not you can work off of old archives [03:46] not sure how, but i know thats an option... [03:46] :/ [03:47] hypodermia: Do you mean you can't access the store and game trailers and what not? [03:47] hypodermia: or you can't get firefox to link it to externally when clicking on a link? [03:47] is there a way to extract some files from iphone on a virtual machine? [03:47] Xenland: steam works perfectly. that latter (chrome, xdg-open, whathaveyou) [03:48] hypodermia: nvm i probubly just didn't understand your question [03:48] Xenland: it'd be super sweet if i could set a URI handler for steam:// URI scheme that opened it with "wine c:\\program\ files\\steam\\steam.exe" [03:48] hypodermia: AHH i wonder the same thing [03:49] hypodermia: what kind of game do you get running with Wine nowa days? i play left 4 dead, tf2 and portal [03:49] yeah. like. supposedly it SHOULD work if i do this gconf thing, but. [03:49] Xenland: i don't own l4d, but tf2 and portal work flawlessly [03:49] Xenland: tbqh my experience was no different than windows. double-click steam installer, then use like normal. [03:50] hypodermia: no kidding!? I remember why half-life2 would barley be compatible... with wine [03:50] but that was a long time ago [03:50] Xenland: that works perfectly as well. i could dig up a screenshot or two... [03:50] hypodermia: whats the frame rate difference from windows then ubuntu [03:50] i know that was always a prob with wine [03:51] hey all is there a hotkey to open the workspace switcher? I dont see one in the hotkeys list [03:51] Xenland: bear in mind i have no video card, just integrated intel graphics, but my experience is almost identical. maybe a tiny bit better performance with wine. [03:51] hypdermia: ahh cool so it Must be playable with a low end graphics card cool. imma try it out now [03:51] Xenland: http://s.zubon.org/20110606-08-Workspace1.png i was playing yesterday [03:52] i prefer playing in a window === ujjain is now known as ujjain|afk [03:52] Hey guys, currently trying to install 11.04... I have Windows via software raid installed, is there any way i can dual boot the two? === gwelymernan is now known as a_girl [03:53] super s nm [03:54] iLLf8d: I need to know that too, I love "alt + tab" for switching applications within a workspace but it doesn't help without knowing what we are both looking for. [03:54] hypodermia: sick that looks like the same graphics quailty too!. UPDATE: i edited my /etc/apt/source.list to all say natty instead of my jaunty distro and im not getting any 404's yet, hopefully it will install tho [03:54] Xenland: it was really a pleasant experience tbqh. wine got their act together. [03:55] hypdoermia: what does tbqh mean? [03:55] does anybody know what "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." is? [03:55] to be quite honest [03:55] hypodermia: looks like it's installing with a BUNCH of updates (obviously becuase 2 major version realeases LOL) [03:55] Kalvin: deep magic. gparted tell you that? [03:55] hypodermia: nop... fdisk [03:56] hi all. i'm trying to set an openpgp key for my launchpad account. i've created a key in the prefs tool and have the fingerprint. launchpad, however, doesn't seem to want to take it. says "There's a problem importing your openpgp key" or something. [03:56] hypodermia: looks like i'll be upgrading to natty soon :P [03:56] Xenland: good times :) [03:56] lol 44minutes [03:56] just to install gparted [03:56] haha [03:56] hypodermia: do you know what cylinder boundary is? === idleone is now known as IdleOne [03:57] how can i retrieve photos from my iphone to a virtual machine? [03:57] Kalvin: yeah. hard disks are split into cylinders, heads, and sectors [03:57] a cylinder is a part of a hard drive in a physical sense. some BIOSs (iirc) have trouble with partitions that don't start and stop on cylinder boundaries [03:57] iLLf8d: "ctrl + alt + (arrow keys)" Is this what you needed? [03:58] Kalvin: it is something i know with my computer i can actually ignore [03:59] Kalvin, bigger concern is to make sure your partitions are aligned with the hard drives block size [04:01] escott: and how can I know that? [04:01] Can I dual boot Windows on a Bios Raid setup and Ubuntu on a separate hard disk? === Rez is now known as LoRez [04:03] ? [04:03] what file in /var/log will show incoming tcp connections, like web connections on port 80 and from what IP addresses? [04:03] xMopx of course, but you have to switch between them using the bios boot menu [04:03] Kalvin, the safest thing is to assume 4k block size and make sure that all partitions begin and end at multiples of 4096 bytes [04:04] @search secret [04:05] nexace: ufw.log can [04:06] nexace, /var/log/apache2/access_log on my system [04:06] almoxarife: what if that does not exist? [04:06] does anybody use mrtg here? [04:07] ettercap [04:07] nexace: I assume that is because ufw the pckg is not installed [04:07] julie: thank you [04:07] :julie [04:08] don't know what mrtg is Dr_Zaxxon [04:08] !mrtg [04:09] multi router graph tool [04:09] escott: so... do I have problem with the partition sda3? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/623064/ === shinnok is now known as Guest23095 [04:10] Does ubuntu 10.10 save its packages by default [04:10] when you download them [04:11] escott: 23,841.75 [04:11] wireshark kicks the llamas rear [04:11] Kalvin, how could someone tell if you have a problem with a partition from looking at your partition table? [04:11] Kalvin, looks fine. thats a 500gb drive so it is probably 512byte blocks. i wouldn't worry [04:12] escott: thanks! [04:12] Hasta [04:12] Kalvin, parted and gparted are a bit smarter about warning about potential problems with newer disks [04:13] i just installed 11.04 and my favorite game no longer works *runes of magic* .... it kind of works until the side bar opens then it craws and the graphics turn color. sup? confused. [04:13] Hi all [04:13] hi [04:14] anybody here please explane me step-by-step how to patch file [04:14] Quick question- after using default settings when installing ubuntu will I be able to connect my hard disk to a windows machine and drop files on the ubuntu hard drive or will they be incompatible with the filesystem? [04:15] z0mmer, you will need to give more details on what you're trying to patch or achieve [04:15] justinjk: yes [04:15] almoxarife thank you [04:15] justinjk: yes you can [04:16] I appreciate it [04:16] justinjk, almoxarife: windows does not by default support ext2fs [04:16] escott: does parted and gparted have a disk checker? I though that they only resize disks [04:17] I suppose I may have to reformat to NTFS then. No big deal. [04:17] julie: samba connects ubuntu to win [04:17] going to gentoo [04:17] almoxarife, he was not talking of connecting computers together but installing the drive on the windows machine [04:17] Yeah. === king is now known as Guest27657 [04:18] justinjk, there are ext2fs drivers for windows though [04:18] hi [04:18] Thanks julie I may do that. [04:18] :) [04:18] try this julie [04:18] https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fs-driver.org%2F&rct=j&q=ext2fs%20reader&ei=Do3xTZP_KIyA-wa58uigAw&usg=AFQjCNF0ECxOZzZPou5IxvZ5ewrIF91Ntw&cad=rja [04:18] Hi Julie [04:18] TrD: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:19] hi Snake__ === Prodego is now known as administrivia [04:19] Kalvin, parted does everything fdisk does. people just use fdisk because they are more familiar with it because it is older, but that older heritage means it gives CHS warnings on LBA disks [04:20] justinjk, TrD just gave a good link for the driver [04:20] sweet ;) [04:20] How are you Julie [04:20] Just saved me some googling TrD [04:20] Snake__, fine thanks [04:20] haha [04:20] :) [04:20] I can t believe a girl is into Linux so much no offense [04:21] escott: I didn't know that ;) I'll read more about parted [04:21] TrD unfortunately I'm using Windows 7 which isn't supported... I think I'm going to try this instead ---> http://www.ext2fsd.com/ [04:22] Snake__: you should meet loni [04:23] LOL I like Linux :) [04:23] Where are you guys from [04:23] ok justinjk good luck :) [04:23] Thanks TrD [04:23] Snake__: off topic but I in southern az [04:23] np [04:23] from all over the world [04:24] * Blue1 waits for the offtopic nazi [04:24] !ot [04:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:24] thanks now I feel at home [04:25] i have never heard of miro sorry [04:25] almoxarife: is that a media player of some sort? [04:26] Blue1: it allows one to d/l media and view it [04:26] almoxarife: Need to know where miro keeps its temp, if possible just edit it. [04:26] almoxarife: i d/l it then use vlc [04:27] I'll see you all on the flip side... and by that I mean on the Ubuntu machine. [04:27] okay another off topic thing - anyone here good with setting up gnucash? [04:27] Blue1, setting it up for what [04:27] escott: checking account.... [04:27] Blue1: ioni is fun to talk to most days [04:27] escott: can I ask you the last question? [04:28] escott: private message ok? [04:28] Blue1, ok [04:28] I'm about to install ubuntu i think, but there's 2 issues. 1: I already have Windows and I don't have room for a new partition and 2: Not sure if I should choose 32 or 64 bit [04:28] Kalvin, go ahead [04:28] echeese, do you have spare space on your Windows partition? [04:28] julie, i'd prefer to not use NTFS [04:29] escott: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/623073/ [04:29] echeese, gparted can usually resize NTFS, but be sure to take a backup in case you need to restore [04:29] escott: is it normal that partition 4 is not aligned? [04:29] escott, alright, thanks [04:29] escott: it's an extended [04:29] echeese, you can either resize your NTFS partition or install ubuntu on a loop device (filesystem over another filesystem) [04:30] I have 4 GB, and an i5, should I use 64 bit? [04:30] escott: in a optimal check... but in a minimal it say aligned [04:30] echeese, no need to unless you plan to upgrade the RAM [04:30] i'm trying to find where to change grub's menu [04:30] can't find a /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:30] Kalvin, partition 4 is extended so there is no data in it. as long as the partitions inside it are aligned you should be fine, but since you have 500GB drive chances are that it is 512byte blocks and alignment doesn't matter [04:30] Dang Julie you sound smart [04:31] :) [04:31] ZeDingo, are you sure your boot partition is mounted? [04:31] !grub2 | ZeDingo [04:31] ZeDingo: 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) [04:31] as far as i know [04:31] ZeDingo: What version you using? [04:31] 11.04 [04:32] escott: :) okey... thanks escott for your help [04:32] ZeDingo: this might help: http://pkill-9.com/recovering-ubuntudebian-linux-after-a-windows-installhiccup/ [04:32] i have grub installed, i'm trying to change the menu to make windows the default [04:33] how can I transfer files from an iphone to a virtual machine (ubuntu host) ? [04:33] ZeDingo: This file to make changes /etc/default/grub and update grub afterwards [04:34] ah, ok [04:34] Guys I m new to with empathy [04:34] I just use it to go on FB [04:34] What else can be done with it [04:35] echeese: Ubuntu can be put on USB stick and booted from there until you acquire a hard disk drive that will otherwise be of use. Do you know if your machine is 64-bit? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1692249 If you are going to resize Windows I would do it with a Windows-based application/tool. [04:35] yeah the page you sent me was still the opposite of helpful since /boot/grub/grub.cfg says DON'T EDIT ME NOOOOOO [04:35] thanks [04:35] ZeDingo: /etc/default/grub [04:35] yeah that's where i'm goin [04:35] hey guys. I have access to a very powerful ubuntu machine, and I am looking into contributing some computational power. So far, I have folding@home. What else is there? === Rez is now known as LoRez [04:36] brown_fern, I have half a terrabyte of hard drive, I have plenty of space, it's just that I want a more permanent home for my ubuntu install [04:36] im having an issue. running ubuntu 11 and the tops of my windows arent there. [04:36] the taskbar tops with the x and minimize etc etc [04:36] any ideas? [04:36] plustax: windows decoration. [04:37] in compiz? [04:37] prototype, you can donate some computing power to me [04:38] okay I got them back [04:38] lol now I cant move them around at all jack_^^ [04:38] yes [04:38] did i install Java incorrectly on natty 64bit? http://pastie.org/2045976 [04:38] prototype, nothing stops you from filling the machine with folding@home [04:38] aaand now i forget which position windows 7 is at on the list [04:38] there's 2 for kubuntu, 2 for memtest right? [04:38] celthunder: well, how would I do that without giving you network access to my machine? Anything short of you ssh'ing into my machine, or giving me a trojan is okay :) [04:38] jack_^^, you there? [04:39] I cant move the windows around now.I got the decorations back. but they seem frozen where they are. cant move em [04:39] is there a way to get some files from an iphone to a windows virtual machine (ubuntu host) via winscp ??? [04:39] prototype: ssh is ok [04:39] prototype, ssh and root sound good to me :) and i was kidding ...mostly [04:39] hahah [04:39] celthunder are you here? [04:39] Dantonic, just got home yes i am === nickmoeck_ is now known as nickmoeck [04:40] how's the rest of your install go [04:40] What else can I fo [04:40] badly judging by you're looking for my blood [04:40] What else can I do [04:40] well, actually, I have access to 2 powerful xeons, and about 20 normal ubuntu machines. I don't know what to do with it! [04:40] celthunder hey! I wanted to thank you for your help the other night... well unfortunately it did not work... [04:40] what can I use to resize NTFS from windows? [04:40] prototype, if they're really powerful on a decent network sell vps's off them...that's what i do on my power server [04:40] echeese: I just shrunk a Windows XP partition, that was taking up the whole hard drive of a computer, in order to make room for Ubuntu. I did it with a native Windows software tool, I'd recommend it but I can't remember its name at the moment, are you going to be here for a few minutes, I could find it? [04:41] Dantonic, lol ok what's the issue [04:41] celthunder it is still failing due to the previous install I think... it crashes at bootup like the old isntall used to... [04:41] brown_fern, haha yeah, once I join a channel I never leave. [04:41] the old 10.04 install [04:41] Dantonic, ok what's the error it crashes with? [04:41] prototype, if you don't need them you could sell or, lend or donate them [04:41] echeese: gparted, from livecd [04:41] Dantonic, ok well lets fix it then :) [04:41] echeese, partitionmagic [04:42] can anyone help me real quick? [04:42] I cant move around my windows running 11 [04:42] celthunder, i don't think they make that anymore [04:42] how can I search google from the command line? (and have results returned to the command line as well)? Maybe something like this: http://www.goosh.org/ [04:42] echeese, doesn't mean it doesn't work [04:42] celthunder but hang on... I want to bring up another issue... I've realized when this problem with the partitions not being recognized was caused... [04:42] cypha, telnet [04:42] without entering elinks, or whatever [04:42] how do I put this... I have access access to them, but I do not own them :) So selling them is out of the question. I do have discrete access to them, so I was wondering what I can do to put them to use. They are on a very powerful fiber net [04:42] cypha, telnet? [04:43] celthunder, telnet to what? and why isn't using telnet slower? [04:43] cypha, to google.com port 80 [04:43] please no one use iphone here ? [04:43] celthunder I was having a grub issue at some point in the past and couldn't get back into my windows partition. someone in the #windows channel suggested I use eASEUS Partition Master... and I did. that helped me fix the problem, but I believe it also caused this issue... [04:43] hello. I cannot get serve side includes to work on apache on ubuntu. anyone want help me? [04:43] cypha, or wget your google search results [04:43] mr_rune: not even if you paid me [04:43] <^c|0ud^> Can someone help me I am trying to compile xbmc in ubuntu but it stops at checking for main in -lGL .. can anyone help with that? [04:43] echeese, use gparted in the livecd. you cant resize while running windows anyways [04:43] celthunder, how do I wget it? [04:43] alright [04:43] celthunder, and isn't having to create a telnet connection slower? [04:44] ActionParsnip: actually, I got paid to use it lol [04:44] ^c|0ud^: why not just use the ppa? [04:44] mr_rune: nice, but unlucky [04:44] cypha, wget http://www.google.com/search?q=test or something like that [04:44] but now I'm stuck with a bunch of photos that i can't unload [04:44] cypha, and no? just requires more work === rajeevqtkde is now known as rShetty [04:44] mr_rune: could upload to dropbox etc, then download from there [04:45] Dantonic, ok...idk what eASEUS Partition Master does ...but what's the error when you boot === prototype is now known as nexusvoid [04:45] <^c|0ud^> it's an amd apu motherboard stable builds dont work with it [04:45] mr_rune: or use bluetooth to data send [04:45] ^c|0ud^: i see [04:45] <^c|0ud^> need to compile it with vaapi [04:45] ActionParsnip: that's a good idea, but I don't know how to upload from that photo album (not the camera roll one) [04:45] ^c|0ud^: so its a tablet pc [04:46] Dantonic, ? [04:46] <^c|0ud^> no kind of like an atom pc [04:46] they are on that folder that sync with Images folder === nexusvoid is now known as _pr0t0type_ [04:47] celthunder look at what that program shows, can you infer anything from my partition setup for why the partitions would not be recognized by gparted? http://tinypic.com/r/2k1yki/7 [04:47] celthunder I'll have to reboot to see that error again I can't remember [04:47] I'm having problems with winscp connection to iphone (ubuntu host) can anyone help ? [04:47] is there a wizard for xorg.conf? [04:48] Dantonic, ok reboot and write it down please..or if yo uhave another computer handy to connect to irc from? [04:48] ^c|0ud^: yeah just looking now, looks like good stuff [04:49] Sonja: sure, drop to root recovery mode and run: Xorg -configure [04:49] Sonja: there used to be a handy one back in Gutsy, but it is no more :( [04:49] Sonja, not really...but what ActionParsnip just said will make a good starting point [04:49] <^c|0ud^> what does -lGL stand for when compiling [04:50] ^c|0ud^, what compiler? [04:50] <^c|0ud^> I am not sure lol.. I am just doing a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xbmc --enable-vaapi [04:50] ^c|0ud^: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/ubuntu-cant-build-i-get-cannot-find-lgl-error-627341/ [04:51] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/2046020 [04:51] <^c|0ud^> thanks [04:51] Sonja: did you run it in a root recovery console? [04:51] I want to talk to a sexy smart girl [04:51] Sonja: it would have required a reboot [04:51] Snake__: that is offtopic here [04:51] what's a root recovery console? [04:52] Sonja: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root [04:52] echeese: I regret that I have returned without the name of that resizing program, however, I did see that Maximum PC, the same place I found the other one, had good things to say about this tool. http://www.partitionwizard.com/ [04:52] hokay [04:52] thanks, brown_fern [04:52] Sonja: thats WHY I said to use a recovery root console, yet you just wet ahead and ran the command anyway, you wonder why it dodnt work huh...... === Xerrao is now known as Xerrao[Detached] [04:53] !away > Xerrao[Detached] [04:53] Xerrao[Detached], please see my private message [04:53] Dantonic, any luck with gettign the error [04:53] ActionParsnip, Xorg -configure does not need to be run in recovery console [04:54] celthunder sorry just a minute rebooting now [04:54] Dantonic, ok np [04:54] celthunder I'll logon from my phone [04:54] echeese: I personally feel that a Windows tool can handle NTFS a little better than a Linux tool, but gparted just keeps getting better and better. that Maximum PC article is this one, by-the-way. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/ask_doctor/shrinking_partitions_raid [04:55] julie: it needs the X server to not be running, its one of the easiest ways a user can get to that state [04:55] ActionParsnip, I suppose you may be right but I hate rebooting when it's not needed [04:56] question, when i tryed to patch my file it gives me Hunk #1 failed at 205 Hunk #2 failed and so on. How can i fixed it to make a normal patch [04:56] <^c|0ud^> hmm can't seem to find Unable to locate package nvidia-glx-new [04:56] julie: oh truly :) but if it makes life easier for new users then I'm all for it [04:56] ^c|0ud^: what nvidia chip do you use? [04:57] ActionParsnip, you can tell it to use a different display than :0 when doign X -configure usually works around having X running [04:57] z00mmer, this means the patch was not applied to the correct code (probably wrong version or wrong patch) [04:57] celthunder the error appears as a box in the top right corner and says: install problem!

[04:57] <^c|0ud^> its AMD. [04:57] Dantonic, ok one moment while i try to figure that one out [04:57] ^c|0ud^: so why do you need nvidia anything? [04:58] celthunder: true [04:58] <^c|0ud^> -lGL is from nvidia driver I guess [04:58] celthunder ok... I'm contemplating repartitioning the whole drive more and more... even if we get this working I still have some kind of error in the partition table that I cannot fix [04:58] after update i am aunable to boot ubuntu new kernel but i can boot in older one is there any way i can remove the new kernel from system and grub menu [04:59] I need a list the PCI devices in my computer [04:59] Dantonic, one minute ...i see a few results for that error and ? wht's the error [04:59] JoeR1: lspci [04:59] after update i am aunable to boot ubuntu new kernel but i can boot in older one is there any way i can remove the new kernel from system and grub menu [04:59] I need a command to list PCI devices I mean [05:00] JoeR1: yes, lspci [05:00] celthunder what error?

[05:17] I know how to install it [05:17] pdtpatrick: Yet another place to ask would be #bash. [05:17] the simplest [05:17] not me for someone else [05:17] with Vmaware fusion 3 [05:17] if you have a mac [05:17] it s easy [05:17] ActionParsnip: This isn't Windows help. I installed Ubuntu through Wubi. Now I don't think Windows are going to help me. Some one of you are. [05:17] katsrc: believe me, it's veeery easy [05:17] for someone from the Windows world [05:17] i know [05:17] katsrc, put in usbstick with ubuntu on it and follow menu reboot when done. installed [05:17] Shikhin: those are windows files on a windows partition [05:17] but do you recommend a video or step by step guide?

[05:18] Shikhin: yes, but i don't like it [05:18] katsrc: do you want to install via cd or usb stick? [05:18] Shikhin: those files are nothing to do with wubi [05:18] does anyone know how to get setterm to actually turn off the monitor? The -powersave and -powerdown options do not seem to have any affect, and I'm wondering if maybe there's a missing kernel option, or something else? [05:19] ActionParsnip: Huh? [05:19] install it from CD [05:19] ActionParsnip: "/ubuntu/disk/root.disk" has nothing to do with Ubuntu? [05:19] katsrc: ok, did you already burn the image ?

[05:26] just kdenlive and its files [05:26] Dantonic, you're in grub rescue atm...lets get you booted first :) [05:27] ok [05:27] :) [05:27] i think i will broke the grub if i reinstall some of os that i have :( [05:28] celthunder so how do I boot? [05:28] Dantonic, ok did you get amenu from grub at least earlier? [05:29] Dantonic, (like before it dropped you into recovery?) [05:29] no [05:29] Dantonic, ok whats the exact prompt atm?

[05:31] i am working hourly and i want to document what i do as i go [05:31] panfist: like a gantt chart? [05:31] Dantonic, You were using sda5 as / which had your /boot right? [05:31] i'm looking for something that i can write in an agenda on an hour or 15min basis, about a day in advance and then maybe modify a little to reflect how much time i actually spend on each task [05:32] panfist: gedit [05:32] how is it possible that my password was already changed on ubuntu when I've only installed a couple packages? [05:32] i think a gantt chart might be too complicated for me, but maybe gedit is too simple? [05:32] is there anything in between [05:32] celthunder uhm... not sure [05:32] Maybe I'm missing something I feel pretty stupid either way. [05:32] Dantonic, ls (hd0,5)/boot any output [05:33] justinjk, what password was changed^ [05:33] panfist: if its in a text based agenda, i'd shoot for gedit. What sort of thing did you have in mind [05:33] Dantonic, or ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub [05:33] celthunder yes it shows a bunch of menu entries looks like [05:33] I was installing packages and obviously it was asking for my pass so I put my set ubuntu password in and everything was working fine (using both package manager and terminal) now neither package manager or terminal are recognizing my password. [05:34] Dantonic, ok that's good now do set root=(hd0,5) [05:34] justinjk: is caps lock on? [05:34] celthunder ok done [05:34] Dantonic, then do linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro [05:34] ActionParsnip nah I double checked that and I tried with numlock on and off... No luck. [05:35] Dantonic, then initrd /initrd.img [05:35] justinjk: tried just typing itin terminal, to see if it displays right [05:35] ActionParsnip: i guess i'm not quite sure. now i think maybe i should just start with a gantt chart [05:35] Ok [05:35] Dantonic, then type boot [05:35] celthunder unknown command 'linux' [05:35] panfist: worth a shot [05:35] ActionParsnip: i would like to be able to audit a project, but i'm the only developer on it [05:35] panfist: then you have no communication, so you can do as you pleasae :) [05:36] `No command 'itin' found, did you mean: [05:36] ActionParsnip: true but in order to be objective about my work i have to be able to analyze it more than just how i think things are going, and to be accountable to my boss [05:37] i don't know about you but there is too much crap going through my head on a daily basis to be able to recall in detail exactly what i was doing two weeks ago [05:37] maybe it's because im the only developer, but everything is starting to blur together [05:37] justinjk, ActionParsnip was telling you to type the password in a separate window so you could see what you're typing and then copy and paste it [05:37] what are you developing panfist [05:38] panfist: gantt charts sound great, you could use gedit initially so you don't waste time, then draw up a pretty chart late using a tool or gnucalc / libreoffice calc [05:38] Dantonic, ok [05:38] :( [05:38] justinjk: it was just to test the right keys were creating the right characters, its not a command [05:38] gotcha [05:38] it's an internal app for a small business, half porting an old ms access application, half extending it with new features. the porting is about half done [05:38] justinjk: have you tried using gksudo instead of sudo? [05:38] Dantonic, you got a livecd you can boot from? [05:38] panfist: sounds cool :) [05:39] Dantonic, we can fix it from here but it'd be a lot easier for me if you had one to boot from [05:39] very vague but cool :P [05:39] yup [05:39] * ActionParsnip loves speeddial2 [05:39] Dantonic, ok cool boot to the livecd thanks [05:40] justinjk: if it doesn't work in gksudo then i'd drop to root recovery mode (or log on as another user in the admin group) and set your password there [05:40] ejv it's a small manufacturing company and it's just a boring app to track production, customer service, whatever else [05:40] ActionParsnip, nah but it's pretty random how I was using my password fine then out of nowhere it's giving me wrong password. ANYTHING is possible because I once set an incorrect password and confirmed it... This just seems out of the ordinary because I entered the password multiple times without a problem and now it's not wokring. [05:41] Ok [05:41] anything else? [05:41] I did in fact put a wrong password. Talk about a fail. Thanks for the help. [05:42] celthunder booting [05:42] Literally installed 3-4 packages while typing the incorrect password that I set incorrectly. [05:42] Dantonic, sorry shoulda realized before ... [05:43] celthunder it's ok... I'm in [05:43] justinjk, please stop or I won't be able to resists laughing :) [05:43] Dantonic, ok open a terminal [05:44] Dantonic, remember the first few commands i made you run last night for the chroot (if not that's fine i can regive them to you) [05:45] celthunder I don't [05:45] Dantonic, ok mkdir /tmp/a [05:46] guys im trying to add a service to the boot by update-rc.d but i am getting update-rc.d command not found [05:46] celthunder ok [05:47] santhosh: which version of *buntu?

I did months ago... I'd have to search for the solution again... [06:11] celthunder, I mean I made it through following some directions on some link after hours of trial and error [06:12] celthunder, ifyou know how to do it that would really help [06:12] blob4000: I suggest trying to find a guide for dual-booting that could walk you through the process if this is your first time doing so, I install Windows first and then Linux so that I can have access to the Linux boot loader, called Grub, but then you may know all this. [06:12] dantonic2, ok lets do a starting point of dpkg --reconfigure grub-pc [06:12] ActionParsnip this is what i got from what you said to do: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/623121/ [06:12] thanks [06:13] celthunder, do that from /boot? [06:13] julie: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/623122/ [06:13] dantonic2, yeah [06:13] hi, i'm still searching for a solution to rotate my display, yesterday someone told me that would be possible with the nvidea x server settings, but what do i have to set up exactly where? [06:13] white-horse: i never asked for that text... [06:13] julie: you can just scroll down to look at the different readings with top. [06:13] unknown option --reconfigure [06:13] celthunder, [06:14] well as you can see it says its unknown [06:14] hi [06:14] dantonic2, ok [06:14] Whats up with 11.4 [06:15] i've been having multiple daily kernel dumps on my screen ever since i upgraded [06:15] dantonic2, does upgrade-from-grub-legacy work [06:15] roadfish, you seem to have done the opposite of what you want [06:15] celthunder, yes [06:15] roadfish, waitchew is the one that's niced [06:16] celthunder, │ Continue without installing GRUB? [06:17] julie: isn't nice 19 the lowest priority. I want makeinfo to have the higher priority which, if I understand nice correctly, would be the -15. [06:17] dantonic2, install it [06:17] roadfish, then your example is not good [06:17] roadfish, hold on [06:17] julie: in any case, notice that makeinfo and waitchew are running even at around 40% CPU ... regardless of nice level. [06:18] does anyone here know how i can mount this: Apple_HFS Apple HFS hfsplus ? [06:18] im having an issue. im running ubuntu 11 classic and for some reason I cant drag my windows around. They are stuck in place. Anyone know of a solution? [06:18] roadfish, you showed me waitchew alone and with makeinfo, but you should pause waitchew and get makeinfo alone to properly compare [06:18] julie: so even if I am confused about nice levels, why the heck isn't there a redistribution after the renice? instead, the %CPU stays effectively even. [06:19] roadfish, the cpu scheduler (what deals with process management and priorities) is the most complex part of the kernel [06:20] julie: the pastebin has 5 readings with top. In the fourth reading with top, I have killed waitchew ... and makeinfo is running by itself. [06:20] Hi...is there any speech recognition software (Like in mac and windows ) for ubuntu ? [06:21] roadfish, let me see that [06:21] dantonic2, got it installed? then do update-grub [06:21] celthunder, I first clicked no and it brought me back to the same prompt... I then clicked yes and it closed the installation [06:21] so I tried again to start it but now it gives error says device is no longer mounted [06:21] celthunder, I guess I'll try re-mounting? [06:22] julie: all the top readings are in the pastebin URL that I sent you. It has 924 lines. [06:22] Hi, trying to download Ubuntu 11.04 to my flash drive, but usb-creator-gtk tells me: "Installation failed", and doesn't print anything to the terminal... Why isn't it working? [06:22] celthunder, "cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)" [06:23] dantonic2, exit the chroot (type exit) and do the mount commands i gave you earlier (proc/sysfs/dev mounts) [06:23] d_atharva: Have you checked whether any of the windows programs will run under wine? [06:23] roadfish, yeah and that's why I didn't read the whole page the first time :P [06:23] dantonic2, then reenter the chroot and try [06:24] julie: I separate the top reading by three newlines ... so you can just skip to the reading that is relevant. [06:24] Anyone help me, please? [06:24] Apple_Cat :no,But I dont want to run the software in wine..Is there any for Ubuntu ? [06:24] julie: someone on #linux gave me this URL https://lwn.net/Articles/418884/ ... which confirms your comment on scheduling being complex. [06:25] anyone know how updated the open-vm-tools package is for natty? I looked at open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net and it looks like it hasn't been updated for a year [06:25] celthunder, it's not working same problem as before [06:25] "mount point proc/ does not exist [06:25] " [06:25] roadfish, so far I don't have any hypothesis... are the two processes touching at the same files by any chance? [06:26] dantonic2, uhm mount -t proc proc proc/ right? [06:26] Hello everybody, i have an ntfs partition with windows, and a separate partition for linux. I wonder is it possible to use something like VirutalBox to launch windows from partition? [06:26] dantonic2, from /tmp/a [06:26] d_atharva: No I don't know of any speech recognition software for ubuntu, but that's not to say there aren't any. Apart from being closed source, is there any other reason you don't want to use wine and a windows program? [06:26] julie: no the processes are quite distinct. The waitchew is just a busy poll in Python and the makeinfo is processing a file (from texi to info formats). [06:26] a931bw: no [06:27] celthunder, ok hang on [06:27] d_atharva: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux [06:27] Apple_Cat : No.. [06:27] julie: I don't really understand the discussion on that webpage I mentioned (about "Group scheduling and alternatives"). Maybe I need to learn more about scheduling. I just naively thought that "renice" would redistribute. IIRC it did this back on Hardy but now isn't working after my Natty upgrade. [06:27] celthunder, ok done [06:28] dantonic2, ok got proc dev and sys mounted [06:28] celthunder, yes [06:28] dantonic2, then reenter the chroot and try again with the grub commands [06:29] roadfish, renice is fine but you have another bottleneck (not the CPU) that's causing this to appear so strange [06:29] alright I got my window problem fixed. Im having an issue installing simple compiz settings. Says that some packages have unmet dependencies. Anyone help me out? [06:30] roadfish, you could try dstat to see if your waitchew generates a lot of disk activity that would cause this imbalance [06:31] roadfish, I was initially expecting to see some wait on your top though [06:31] celthunder, ok I"m stuck at the "configuring grub-pc" page but I can't go forward how do I select the [06:31] plustax: what unment dependancies? [06:31] Dantonic, tab [06:31] celthunder, ok tab :P [06:31] haha yeah [06:31] Has anyone had any problems with usb-creator-gtk? Installing to my flash drive isn't working. ("Installation failed") It doesn't give a reason why... (Ubuntu 11.04) [06:32] dantonic2, lol :) [06:32] im not sure mrpps [06:32] should I take a screenshot of the error for you? [06:32] julie: what do you mean by "see some wait"? [06:32] plustax: you can just pastebin it for me :) [06:32] plustax: and the command you ran to get the error [06:32] eboyjr: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? [06:33] ActionParsnip, No, I'll try now, where can I get the md5s? [06:33] roadfish, when the disk is too busy then the system generates CPU wait cycles [06:33] !hashes [06:33] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [06:33] ActionParsnip, THanks [06:33] celthunder, so which would I select? the sdb5? [06:33] eboyjr: please MD% FIRST in future [06:33] mrpps I just tried to install simple compiz settings from ubuntu software center [06:33] here [06:33] roadfish, that isn't your case but I'm suspecting it might be near which would explain why it balances the load this way [06:34] MrPPS, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/screenshot1.png [06:34] plustax: do an: [06:34] sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm [06:34] in the console [06:34] i had made some users on my system yesterday [06:34] julie: ok, thanks for taking a look. Basically, you're saying that I'm using renice properly. But some other factor is messing up the CPU allocation. I guess I'll let my subconscious work on it for a while. [06:34] and tell me what it's missing in the output [06:34] i have a feeling you just can't see it due to text colours [06:35] ActionParsnip, The hashes do* match [06:35] celthunder, ok I installed it to the main sdb partition [06:35] MrPPS, The following packages have unmet dependencies: [06:35] simple-ccsm : Depends: python-compizconfig (>= 0.8.2) but it is not going to be installed [06:35] Depends: compizconfig-settings-manager (>= 0.8.2) but it is not going to be installed [06:35] E: Broken packages [06:35] ActionParsnip, Should I try unetbootin? [06:35] roadfish, you don't need to understand it more than that, but you could learn how to pause a process instead of just killin git [06:35] celthunder, I think that's where it was before [06:35] am I done? [06:35] plustax: have you enabled the multiverse and universe repositories? [06:35] s/git/it/ [06:35] dantonic2, yo uinstall it to /dev/sdb [06:35] MrPPS, not that I know of. I'm a bit of a linux noob, to be honest. [06:36] dantonic2, and then do update-grub [06:36] ok [06:36] Hm, Maybe I should rethink my thoughts about GNOME. With GNOME3, their approach to css, etc, their broadway html5 backend.... pulseaudio... they could really display a remote application in your browser with audio ability easily. [06:36] They're enabling applications to target the web, trivially. [06:36] eboyjr: if the ISO is good then yes [06:36] celthunder, ok done [06:36] Hi all. Where do I specify the default browser? [06:36] plustax: alright, in that case, easiest way is to go into your synaptic package manager, and tick the boxes to enable them [06:36] plustax: let me know once that's done [06:36] dantonic2, ok see pm [06:37] MrPPS, where is synaptic package manager? [06:37] nvm [06:37] how do i know my ubuntu ip ? [06:37] html_inprogress, that's a loaded question [06:37] plustax: depends one your version of *buntu, but generally under system administration ;) [06:37] html_inprogress, do you mean your internal or external ip address? [06:37] html_inprogress: Go to terminal > type: ifconfig [06:37] html_inprogress, local ip, internal ip, or external? [06:38] MrPPS, there seems to be thousands of things with the universe and multiverse () [06:38] plustax: go to Settings > Repositories [06:39] plustax: in that first window, tell me if they have ticks next to them [06:39] ActionParsnip, unetbootin doesn't support 11.04, so I'm not sure if it will work [06:39] They do indeed MrPPS [06:39] i want my ip, so i can stream vlc player, a dvd,to play next door to my gf house, which she dont have a dvd player on her pc(netbook) [06:39] plustax: then I would go to a terminal and type this: [06:39] html_inprogress, whatismyip.com [06:39] i was using chatzilla a lot in the past, but i'm realizing after long time of having it open it is starting to eat tons of resources [06:40] sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install python-compizconfig compizconfig-settings-manager [06:40] 173-29-215-92 [06:40] plustax: and tell me what it says after that [06:40] celthunder still grub rescue... hey I have to get to bed... waking up in 5 hours maybe I'll give it a shot on monday... I'm going on a cruise this weekend :) [06:40] is there any good irc client recommended for ubuntu? if it works also in windows it is a plus [06:40] cablop: Quassel [06:40] celthunder, internal ip off my router [06:40] cablop: works in windows, linux, and mac [06:40] html_inprogress, ifconfig [06:40] and can have decentralised core and client [06:40] or combined :) [06:40] html_inprogress, do you know how to map your router's ports? [06:40] ok thanks!:) [06:40] Dantonic, ok gl sorry i wasn't able to help you with the grub issue i'll do some research and shit for ya [06:41] mrpps is it java or something like that? [06:41] julie, no , whats that ? [06:41] ok np thanks anyway u don't have to do that [06:41] cablop: qt4 [06:41] cablop: static binaries have it inbuilt, i believe [06:41] ok good night [06:41] MrPPS, it installed a bunch of stuff. I tried installing the simple compiz manager again and no dice. Same error. [06:42] plustax: hmm, I'd probably suggest just going with the plain compizconfig-settings-manager [06:42] rather than the "simple" one [06:42] MrPPS, Unless you can tell me of a way to enable desktop cube without it? I cant find a way to add more homescreens. I just have two right now and I can flip them like the cube [06:42] html_inprogress, to get an external connection to reach your machine, you access the external IP from your gf's computer and it gets into your router which then either block it or send it to the local machine that's configured for that port [06:42] ok, taking note, quassel... any other alternative? [06:42] plustax: more home screens? like more desktop spaces? [06:42] yeah MrPPS I have the regular one. But I cant figure out how to create the cube. I just have 2 desktop spaces [06:42] yes [06:43] html_inprogress, and if that wasn't enough, you may have a firewall to adjust on your ubuntu installation as well [06:43] Hi, Im installing nagios-nrpe-server, and by some reason this wants to install samba? Is there any sane explanation to this? [06:43] plustax, what is your issue? [06:43] plustax: which version of ubuntu?> [06:43] lol yeah im an android user [06:43] MrPPS, 11 classic. Unity was too buggy [06:43] how do i fix the firewall ? [06:43] julie, how do i fix the firewall? [06:43] plustax: in the bottom right, do you have the desktop switch applet? [06:43] yes [06:44] plustax sadly 11.04 is too buggy too and many compiz, gtk gnome issues around [06:44] plustax: right click that > properties [06:44] plustax: then change number of desktops :) [06:44] plustax just don\ t press alt+spacebar [06:44] ohh okay [06:45] nice that worked! [06:45] plustax: don't use simple compiz manager and don't use compiz fusion icon, 11.04 comes with a newer compiz and those items weren't ported to that version [06:45] Thank you! [06:45] plustax: sweet :) brb [06:45] cablop, thank you I wont! [06:45] MrPPS, you're the man thanks a bunch [06:46] and i also suggest you to use the compiz setting manager and tweak each component to make it work, if you enabled the cube, i dunno why, many many things got disabled by default in compiz, even the opengl stuff, [06:46] so you need to enable them by hand, things like move window, resize window and so on [06:47] plustax: not a problem :) [06:47] and plustax take care gtk-window-manager is buggy with compiz in natty, a lot, i think because they hardwired the gtk to that unity thing [06:47] html_inprogress, I don't know which firewall you would have if you do have one but you could check "iptables -L" and "ufw status" to see if they have any rules [06:47] ah okay [06:47] I wish I could use the unity bar at the same time as the classic setup [06:47] It is COOL looking [06:47] cablop: Try Pidgin: http://pidgin.im/ It runs on multiple OSes and features an IRC client among many other things. [06:47] plustax: you can sorta emulate it with awn [06:48] MrPPS, right, yeah [06:48] i think ubuntu must fix natty cds and repos with a big advice that says DO NOT UPGRADE TO NATTY [06:48] html_inprogress, to configure your router properly, you will need to know which port is used by your VLC player and ubuntu's local ip (obtainable with ifconfig) [06:48] cablop / brown_fern: i used pidgin, but quassel is much better in the end :P [06:48] brown_fern: mmm, nice, second alternative [06:48] linux is hard, man. I wish they had an android OS out for laptops :< [06:48] plustax: they do [06:48] plustax: they do [06:48] haha [06:49] what [06:49] plustax: they've also got "MeeGo" - relatively simple Linux based OS [06:49] plustax: linux isn't hard, its just that you havent usd it as along as other OSes [06:49] wait wait wait [06:49] plustax: I've got a disabled copy of android on my netbook [06:49] There is a laptop android os? [06:49] MrPPS, brown_fern i use pidgin as workarround, so i think i'm not going to use it to hardwire it to irc [06:49] GTFO [06:49] MrPPS: My experience is limited here, I'll have to try quassel at some point in time. [06:49] Is it functional and useful? [06:49] plustax... don't go for an android on a laptop [06:49] cablop: main problem with pidgin is it doesn't recognise a lot of commands directly, so you have to /quote them [06:49] plustax: go research dude, you'll find it [06:49] cablop, no? [06:49] plustax: i didn't much like it [06:50] well I imagine it can limit the power of the laptop [06:50] plustax: but i can't compare it to the phone one, as I use maemo for my phone [06:50] android is an OS for mobile devices, a laptop is a full computer, you are going to miss to use the full power of your laptop [06:50] so it could just be as functional, or less [06:50] plustax: how do you mean "power" [06:50] MrPPS, what phone do you have? [06:50] ActionParsnip: i presume capabilities [06:50] plustax: Nokia n900 [06:50] I click allow on this adobe flash camera thing from a website and nothing happens [06:50] MrPPS: depends on use [06:50] ActionParsnip: I agree, just putting in my interpretation ;) [06:50] in the other hand... you can get that android for x86 processors and run it on a virtual machine inside your laptop, this would be to have the best of both world in one machine [06:50] ActionParsnip, I want android look and feel, but with the capability of ubuntu. webcam stuff, etc etc. Without having to get apps for EVERYTHING [06:50] cablop: depends on needs and use, android may fit the requirements perfectly [06:51] cablop, ah okay. [06:51] plustax: have a play is all I can recommend, you'll break yourOS a lot but you'll learn a lot [06:51] ActionParsnip, yeah I think I might. I have everything backed up so its no big deal. [06:51] colonsodigitalcachefly.net wants access to my camera and I cant give it a yes. [06:51] When does chromium OS come out? I've been dying to try that. [06:52] plustax in few words and a real case, i ditched windows xp on my netbok and installed ubuntu on it, i use full gnome interface and compiz with the cube effect on it, it is running [06:52] much much better with it [06:52] tripleb go to google type in flash settings manager. second to last tab. allow the site. [06:52] ah, i foorgto to say i use full disk encryption and i barely notice it on the netbook [06:52] hmm [06:52] plustax maybe I can help you with linux. Have you used mac or windows as well as android? [06:53] cablop: what algorithm? [06:53] hm [06:53] the default one, except i changed the size from 256 to 128 [06:53] I have a windows 7 pc, an ubuntu 11 laptop which im on now, another macbook air, an original droid1, and a nook color running android 3.0 honeycomb [06:54] I root android devices for a living, actually. [06:54] cablop: fair enough [06:54] adb oem unlock ;) [06:54] noone has spectrum or amiga anymore... [06:54] cablop, ^^ [06:54] plustax i recommend you only one of two distros, Lucid aka 10.04 or Maverick aka 10.10, they're pretty stable and still supported, 10.04 is the more stable of them and you won't suffer a lot [06:55] distros of linux? [06:55] they come with gnome classic and many many people know how to fix things on those versions [06:55] sorry i wanted to say versions of ubuntu [06:55] plustax: 10.04LTS is very stable [06:55] cablop, I feel you. I'm not entirely hopeless. I am a linux noob but I know enough about android to move about pretty easily. Im more used to ubuntu at this point. [06:55] 11.04 came with unity by default, a new compiz and many other new things a few people know about and when a bug raises you have to be very patience [06:56] but 12.04LTS is going to be even better when it is released [06:56] yeah I was running lucid lynx which I liked [06:56] never should have upgraded [06:56] oh new version means always a new bugs. that's normal. [06:57] Not a big deal. I'm understanding of it. I always have this channel when I need help. Everyone in here is usually pretty awesome. [06:57] yes, the recommendation in many forums and other channels is stick to the LTS until the next, you can get many PPAs (something like extra repositories) to add new stuff like firefox4, google chrome, opera askype virtualbox... [06:58] brb cigarette [06:58] but, from my point of view, when they invented the LTS concept, the LTS was a nice thing, stable and solid, the next release was a real improvement of it, nice, and polished, with a few unstable things... the next two releases are like unstable experiments on what would or could be the next LTS and must be avoided [06:59] except if you are testing and conributing to the community [07:04] anyone know if chromium os is out yet for beta testing? [07:04] im really interested in that [07:04] plustax: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [07:05] plustax, chromiumos is released on a few devices...sort of a failos though [07:05] You are welcome, Flannel [07:05] ah, :/ [07:08] plustax hehe, dunno why they do that too often, and it does feel really aggresive [07:08] yeah that was mean :< [07:08] plustax: anyway, it is indeed offtopic, [07:08] Far far too agressive - if you are talking about Flannel [07:08] haha [07:09] Flannel, respectfully I ask you to take your negativity to #blog [07:09] I will provide to you further support from there. [07:09] i'm testing out a screen+irssi+local notification thing, someone say ozzloy please [07:09] Flannel, jk ilu [07:10] Hello to everybody. Sorry for my question, but i cant find helpful manual about samba4. I install package, and in setting up i had error message 'unknown parameter encountered' and many parameters 'max log size, syslog, unix password sync, and other' How can i solve this? [07:10] plustax, but in few words, afaik, people have many many concerns about that os, one, it is not really that open source, two, it is going to be released much more like android, you can get a custom version for your device, but barely s sth you can download and install on your PC, and three, your date lves in the cloud, on google servers... not on your pc... so, in just one word FAIL [07:10] yeah that sounds fail tbh [07:10] cablop: Please, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support for Ubuntu, not general questions. [07:11] Atually, Flannel , I have a support question for you. I have a whole bunch of mp3's and ogg's and I would like to embed the album art within each file. How do I go about doing that - I'm on Ubuntu 10.04LTS [07:11] ~~~~blabluga [07:11] blabluga [07:12] lolol I could word it like this. Im on Ubuntu 11 and I have some questions about if it would be a good idea to switch to chromium os and what the benefits would be of switching or not. Or even if the OS is available. [07:12] cablop, lol yep [07:13] ChromiumOS has its roots in Ubuntu, actually :) [07:13] tell me more about that [07:13] how ubuntu is completely connected to it [07:13] dex7772: If you don't get any responses here (since we seem to be in a lull right now) you can try #samba as well. But you'll need to register to speak there (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration ) [07:13] flannel, if you were payng attention to plustax concerns you knew he was trying to determine how good will be to use ubuntu instead any other alternative [07:14] Flannel, I would like some help embedding album art into mp3 and ogg files on 10.04LTS. How do I go about doing that? [07:14] also, my policy is, if to give a short answer to somebody here or any other channel is lower and more gentle than throwing him to another channel, then i answer, if the effort is too big i politely tell him where to go for further and more complete help [07:14] RevSpecies116, doesnt banshee do that with art just dropped in the folder? [07:15] RevSpecies116: chromium os is based on gentoo.. not on ubuntu.. [07:15] cablop, for OP tbh [07:16] http://blogs.computerworld.com/15127/ubuntus_canonical_and_google_partner_to_create_chrome nonamer [07:17] and dex7772 i think you could get more help about your samba4 isues in samba or ##linux channels, but give me a sec [07:17] !samba4 [07:17] yes, i also thought like that but it uses gentoos package manager and it is based on gentoo.. [07:17] plustax: I try and avoid programmes that use MONO [07:17] i'll check for the link where i found this. [07:18] +1 about the mono thing [07:18] Flannel, I would like some help embedding album art into mp3 and ogg files on 10.04LTS. How do I go about doing that? === rich__ is now known as rich [07:18] hi [07:18] any indian arround here [07:19] RevSpecies116: dunno if that ubuntu media distro is still out there, maybe some software there could help [07:19] RevSpecies116: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-814932.html [07:19] I really wish Flannel would help though, considering it wants to keep things on a support level basis [07:19] revspecies, maybe easytag could do that for you... [07:20] RevSpecies116: Apparently you can do it in Rhythmbox. [07:20] my bad, this stuid ubuntu is ignoring mymouse now [07:20] also the wikipedia tells the same thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_OS [07:20] sorry for offtopic... [07:20] can any body here help me installing connon LBP2900 in ubuntu11.04 [07:21] RevSpecies116, yeah rhythmbox and banshee can do this [07:21] eu.org [07:21] Hey all, I've been on 11.04 since release and I'm getting constant reproducible crashes of X when I switch from a secondary user account to the primary. I'm running an nvidia geforce 9500GT with driver 173.14.30. Can anyone help? [07:21] ok [07:22] I have Rhythmbox, Flannel - I'll give that a try. And cablop I will look for EasyTAG - I know embedding the artwork is something to do with the metatags [07:22] now i have a real support question...my recentl;y installed 10.04 is not recognizing my mouse [07:22] joseph__: you mean you log out of one account and then into another and X crashes? [07:22] cablop: PS2 or USB? [07:22] yes, or try to do a fast switch [07:22] usb [07:22] nonamer: Looks like Google is picking from the best Linux has to offer - Ubuntu, Gentoo, and others :) [07:23] cablop: wireless or wired [07:23] wired [07:23] Whats up chat [07:23] two different wired mouses to tell the truth [07:23] cablop: try another usb device on same port [07:23] noisewaterphd, it only happens if I try to fast switch from the secondary to the primary, or if I log our of the secondary. I get a scrambled screen that looks like chopped up pieces of a screen grab of the secondary account. [07:23] cablop: do you see anything in lsusb? how about tty1 when you unplug/plug it in? [07:23] already did [07:23] cablop: just to see if you need mobo drivers or if it's the mouse [07:24] i switched the muse of the desktop with the one on the netbook [07:24] on the netbook it is working with no issues, on the desktop is failing [07:24] i mean both mouses work with no issues in the netnbook and both fail on the desktop [07:25] additionaly they were working three hours ago whtn the desktop still had natty [07:25] well [07:25] joseph__: sorry, I can't really help, I was just asking because I had a lot of problems with X on 11.04 when I tested it out on my desktop with ATI. Very similar stuff to what you have going on. I didn't even bother to troubleshoot though, went back to 10.10 [07:25] i thin the isue is another [07:25] the system is frozen [07:25] so forgot it... restarting the hard way [07:26] Has anyone experienced upgrading ubuntu and then the keyboard dosent work upon boot? I might note that the keyboard does work in recovery mode right away [07:26] xenland: my upgrade worked smoothly, sorry [07:27] and that would be the first time i've apologised for a smooth upgrade :P [07:27] LOL [07:27] no upgrade was fine [07:27] though i have faced issues with compiz [07:27] afterwards [07:27] does that quassel client for irc has bugs, any bugs? or is failry stable enough? [07:28] cablop: only bug I've seen, is in Macs, when you hit "tab" to complete a name, it deselects the typing field, and you have to hit tab a second time to reselect [07:28] cablop: other than that, it's been bug-free for me [07:28] and surprisingly useful, and "beautiful" [07:28] @ MrPPS [07:29] can u help me with compiz [07:29] morpheus_: depends what the issue is :P [07:29] how do i get it to work with unity [07:29] and about performance... is it a resource hog like chatzilla? [07:29] in ubuntu [07:29] well i am using [07:29] morpheus_: have you installed the compizconfig-settings-manager? [07:29] 11.04 [07:29] yes i did [07:29] and made some changes [07:29] after that [07:29] morpheus_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:29] the window borders [07:30] morpheus disable compiz fusion icon if you use it before [07:30] disappeared [07:30] didyou pressed alt+spacebar? [07:30] morpheus_: also, try restarting unity [07:30] Alt + F2, then type: unity & [07:30] wait Mrpps [07:30] well thats what i did finally i uninstalled unity compiz and finally [07:30] are you using unity or ubuntu classic? [07:31] cablop: unity [07:31] Flannel: Rhythmbox is not doing as you've suggested it can [07:31] reinstalled every thing? my q is can i use the effects like i used to do i n previous versions [07:31] ok try what morpheus_ said, if not, then try relacing the window manager [07:31] sorry [07:31] the decorator... mmm [07:32] i think there is some prob with the compatibility of these two things [07:32] i am scared to use some of the effects now [07:33] morpheus_: I think compiz is fairly buggy in unity, from what i've heard [07:34] the problem from my point of view is cause by two things, one compiz is a new version, they are moving towards compiz+ or sth like that and two, ubuntu 11.04 gtk code is extremely (and harmfuly) oriented to unity [07:34] ok [07:35] hi all [07:35] [09:34] i am attempting to mv a folder to another location but its not working [07:35] [09:34] there is no -r switch now [07:35] [09:34] how does one go about doing it in 11.04 ubuntu server? [07:35] acidflash: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:35] so when you need something that worked fine in gtk-window-decorator it will fail, because it tryis to work for unity instead compiz or classic gnome [07:35] so basically i should not mess arround with compiz [07:36] acidflash afaik you don't need the -r switch [07:36] acidflash: works fine for me, like this: [07:36] morpheus_: or start with ubuntu classic and tweak compiz a little [07:36] acidflash: mv dir1 dir2/ [07:37] cablop: gtk is gtk, unity is just a shell, other distros use gtk without unity and it is the same gtk as the one in ubuntu [07:37] may be, i actually didnt find unity to be that useful [07:37] just window management is better [07:37] MrPPS if moving to another partition you should check for the flags to keep permissions anyway [07:38] cablop: true enough ;) [07:38] ActionParsnip: do this test, go to ubuntu classic session, then press alt+spacebar in order to raise the window menu, and see how the window decoration dissapears [07:38] and no menu raised... maybe because unity is not using the window title part of the window decoration, huh? [07:38] cablop: i dont have ubuntu classic as an option [07:38] cablop: i also don't use compiz [07:39] natty comes with it by default [07:39] Help! My move operation, done using Nautilus, of over 80GB data from one computer to another (via network) seems to have gotten stuck. Any idea how to troubleshoot? [07:39] thanks to both u guys, i needed second opinion on that one. thanks. [07:39] cablop: try using minimal, install lxde, lxdm and unity 2D. I'm using Natty [07:39] cablop: you assume too much [07:39] ActionParsnip: if you use unity then you have some compiz accel, anyway [07:40] cablop: unity 2D doesn't need compiz [07:40] ActionParsnip: i did the test and i know the fix for ubuntu classic [07:40] Ileden: network connectivity (i.e., ping) still work? [07:40] if your windows border dissapear then you need to change the window decorator from gtk-window-decorator to compiz-decorator... [07:41] Is there a flag for cp or an equivilant of cp that will give me a little report when its complete e.g. Copied 22GB, 35 files? [07:41] cablop: I do have accelleraion, I just choose to se it only when I'm gaming, otherwise unity 2d works just as well and at a fraction of the power [07:41] also go to classic and in a command line write [07:41] MrPPS: yes [07:41] compiz --replace & and see how it calls something names unity decorator [07:41] Ileden: i always find it safer to use rsync to transfer files over the network [07:41] I'd probably suggest doing that, as Nautilus can be a bit buggy [07:42] rage: http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/ [07:42] ActionParsnip: yep, as i told the problem is when you combine the new compiz and gtk in ubuntu [07:42] MrPPS: yea, should've used that, retrospectively thinking. just aren't familiar with it. [07:42] i mean in natty === michael is now known as Guest19472 [07:42] cablop: i ditched compiz a year or so back, to many breaks for so little gain [07:42] Ileden: it's fairly easy once you get your head around it :) [07:42] MrPPS: Can rsync be used to move also, not just copy? [07:42] ActionParsnip: Not after a progress bar, but I'll take a look, might be adaptable [07:42] Ileden: yes, i believe so [07:43] hi all, I get an OCZ ssd, and I read the production , the ssd has a sata II interface and the read speed should be 200MB/s, but when I did a test using haparm -tT /dev/sda and I got this Timing buffered disk reads: 316 MB in 3.01 seconds = 104.82 MB/sec, it is slow, do I need a better driver for the ssd? [07:43] MrPPS: also, it is simple enough to resume the broken transfer with rsync? In that case I could just cancel the current, stuck, one and pick it up with rsync [07:43] Ileden: i think the --remove-source-files will do it [07:43] Ileden: rsync can pick up broken rsync transfers easily [07:43] ActionParsnip: i'll just keep it on my desktop and netbook, ditching it on the server... dunno why default ubuntu interface comes now with effects by default [07:43] but ones that have been started with nautilus i'm not so sure [07:44] because I don't know if rsync has it's own progress file === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [07:44] rage: you could use: copycommand; notify-send "copy done" [07:44] Ileden: worse comes to worse, if it can't move it, you can always sync it, then rm -rf the source :P [07:44] MrPPS: yes. Well, let's see i guess. [07:44] MrPPS: true [07:44] ActionParsnip: After a simple listing of how much was copied in particular [07:44] ActionParsnip: a few things are very helpful if you tweak compiz to help you avoid injres for using too much the mouse andkeyboard, for me this is enough gain [07:45] It would be interesting to know what on earth made it get stuck, though. [07:45] rage: that i'm not sure of but you can use notify-send to use the notifier like other apps do [07:45] ActionParsnip: Yeah thats fine, its easy to know when the copy is done :-) [07:45] greetings all can anyone tell me the name of the 8.04 ubuntu wallpaper that was a wooden wall with a turquoise blue metal plate on it? [07:46] iLLf8d: umm 8.04 is way no longer supported [07:46] Blue1: Yeah, but the wallpaper... No big deal [07:46] iLLf8d: there is an archive on omgubuntu with all the past wallpapers in, may have it there [07:46] yeah I assume someone is still running it =P [07:47] Blue1: it is on the server [07:47] lookin for that one wallpaper I liked it [07:47] iLLf8d: i suggest you to manually download the wallpapers package from ubuntu and open it with an archive manager and get the wallpaper from there [07:47] hi yuka [07:47] it would still be on the repos, if not, you can grab a disk and find it on the deb packages iLLf8d [07:48] oh ty [07:48] Blue1: its supported on the server until April 2013 which is waay past when support for Natty dies off [07:48] it would have wallpapers on the name === shinnok_ is now known as shinnok [07:48] Quick term question: I am theming my system and I want root to have transparency. Is there any way I can do this short of sudo passwd and enabling root for GUI menus? [07:48] ActionParsnip: didn't know when is the next lts release of ubuntu? [07:49] Yes, this is an RGBA question. [07:49] Blue1: 8.04 was LTS, 10.04 was LTS. Have a guess ;) [07:49] so every 2 years? [07:49] Blue1: yes :D [07:49] Yep. [07:49] ActionParsnip: i am on 10.10 atm, i might switch when that comes out. [07:50] tiox rgba is on a ppa, but, sadly it is going to break some programs, like gajim, or custom gtk ones [07:51] Blue1: 12.04LTS is going to be great :) [07:51] cablop: Not to worry. If RGBA breaks something, I can investigate the process name and add it into the list of exceptions. [07:51] But, I want to enable transparency for Synaptic. WOuld RGBA break it? [07:51] quit [07:51] RevSpecies116: why great? [07:51] RevSpecies116: well I reserve judgement on 11.04 - it seems to have broken a lot of systems. and I am not sold on unity or gnome 3 [07:52] is there a way to make it so when I move a dist to a different computer it doesn't rename eth0 to eth1? (I'd like to keep it eth0) [07:52] MrPPS: So what would be the command to try and resume a transfer? Does this seem ok: rsync -rvh --remove-source-files me@host:sourcepath destinationpath [07:52] MrPPS: Hm, I mean: rsync -arvh --remove-source-files me@host:sourcepath destinationpath [07:52] cablop: A bug-free Unity implementation, Thunderbird, etc etc [07:53] RevSpecies116: if you think unity or gnome 3 are things that would make ubuntu 12.04 rock... many many many places on internet are saying that nity is the thing making them starting to think on a different distro [07:53] Also, I had an idea. Canonical should have, in the future, something called a "Stable Long Term Support", or SLTS release that's updated only once every four years. [07:53] owen1: test [07:53] cablop: That is a vocal minority [07:53] yuka_: hi [07:53] 4 yeas is a very long period [07:53] I just feel for some reason two years is still top short when Ubuntu Server gets five years. [07:53] 2 years is fair enough [07:53] too* [07:53] Ileden: i'd put a -P in there as well [07:54] Ileden: puts partially transferred files - better for resuming later [07:54] RevSpecies116: not a minority, the main concern is unity and gnome3 has very few options for the user... and sadly people like options [07:54] it seems the swap in my new box (10.10) is not active... how would i enable it? It always shows "read swap header failed: Invalid argument" when i try swapon [07:54] Ileden: and a -v [07:54] just so you know what's going on ;) [07:54] hey anyone here use kdenlive? [07:54] MrPPS: is there an option for removing source directories as well? I couldn't find. [07:54] Back to my question, short of enabling root and going into GNOME color chooser from there, is there a term method for turning RGBA on or off for root? [07:54] Ileden: directories wise, i couldn't see it either :( [07:54] but hey, rm -rf [07:54] :) [07:55] MrPPS: Never suggest that. [07:55] tiox: I wouldn't cripple your security for the sake of some transparencies. Think about it [07:55] pinoyoragon: first test your partition is right, then test if your fstab is pointing to it correctly, then do adjustments as needed [07:55] tiox: after a sync is done and confirmed? [07:55] * tiox shrugs [07:55] i dont really see a problem with it... [07:55] tiox: rm -rf does not equal that scary command, it can be just "rm -rf /opt/openoffice" for instance ;) [07:55] Oh ActionParsnip, if there's a way to do it, there's a way to undo it. [07:55] if I chop off both my legs I get a free hat. WOO [07:55] theadmin: exactly :) [07:56] MrPPS: yup, not a problem. [07:56] Hello! [07:56] groovy :) [07:56] theadmin: really, theres no reason for the -f though. [07:56] ActionParsnip: -_- [07:56] Flannel: True enough [07:56] Flannel: yes, but that's not a reason to not suggest that command :P [07:56] Im downloading a list of files with wget from a ftp server at the moment. As default it saves the files to the folder im currently in. How can i specify a certain folder to download to if i set it up as a cron job? [07:56] *old habits die hard* [07:57] how to turn off executable file protection? [07:57] that command is so scary, everytime i see it something chills in my spine [07:57] cablop: haha, really? i use it every day :P [07:57] Viliny: wget -O folderpath blahblah [07:57] * cablop felt that chill again [07:57] cablop: fstab points to two swaps /dev/mapper/a-swap_1 and /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 [07:57] jasongriffee: Meaning? You want to turn on file as executable? [07:57] is there any chance of firefox being updated to firefox 4 in ubuntu 10.04 LTS? [07:58] Guest19472: you can download it from firefox.com [07:58] Guest19472: Use the Mozilla PPA. [07:58] Guest19472: Doubtable, get the firefox-stable ppa [07:58] pinoy then you need to check your /etc/crypttab tobe sure you are mounting the right partition to hold the right swap [07:58] cablop: then when i look at my /etc/crypttab this appears "cryptswap1 /dev/dm-1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" [07:58] pinoyoragon: read my previos line [07:58] i have a .exe setup file, has to be from disc, disc is cd so unwritable [07:58] Yeah, Guest19472, follow theadmin's advice. [07:59] getting permission error [07:59] Easy as pie to do in Synaptic's GUI [07:59] pinoyoragon: /dev/urandom? [07:59] jasongriffee: Wine? [07:59] cablop: so is my crypttab pointing to the right swap? [07:59] yep [07:59] cablop: i think i used lvm during installation, everything was automated (10.10) [07:59] theadmin: -O is for writing documents to a file - i get an error saying mines a directory. Is there another command for directiories im not seeing here? [08:00] Hmmm... are you doing this as root or with sudo? [08:00] Viliny: Oh... What's the really big deal with getting your cron job to cd to the directory first? [08:00] hmh? [08:00] tiox, im assumeing this is a term job? [08:00] Viliny: Or just write a script and run it in the cron job === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [08:01] so wget can't save to a target folder? [08:01] Not entirely. Try installing nautilus-gksu and using the right click menu to open where you want tor go with sudo rights. [08:01] Viliny: I might not know how to... Probably there is a way, but I don't have access to a Linux box right now [08:01] pinoyoragon: did you edited the LVM or partitions or anything after install? also, why do you have two swaps on fstab, if both are on crypted partitions, then comment the line with the swap not being reffered in the crypttab [08:01] Short of that, in terminal type in sudo passwd and assign root with a password. Be sure to disable it (guides on how in the community docs) afterward. [08:02] cablop: Ubuntu is going from strength to strength - Unity will not be the death of Ubuntu, it will be the food we all eat up :) [08:02] tiox: Do not suggest or explain how to set the root password in the channel, ops will scream at ya [08:02] And of course, log in as root. Just remember, it's a security hole you're opening up for the operation. [08:02] Blah. [08:02] If it can be enabled, it can be disabled. [08:02] cablop: i didn't edit anything... i was just asked of a passphrase... which i forget already.... [08:02] MrPPS: Is there a way to get rsync to first go through all the files, and then give me an estimate of transfer time? [08:02] Viliny, theadmin: use -P not -O (-P sets a directory for files to go to, not an output file for everything to be concatenated to) [08:02] Just to pacify them I'll find the command to randomize the root pass. [08:03] Flannel: Oh, cool, thanks [08:03] Thank you Flannel [08:03] There, "passwd -l root" turns off root. [08:03] tiox: Nope, not the way you do it [08:04] I knew there was another way, I couldn;t find it in short order. [08:04] Flannel: that worked, the description in the syntax list was a little confusing for me but seems it worked flawlessly. Thank you! [08:04] theadmin: `passwd -l root` is the way to lock the root account. [08:04] ah, then if you skipped the unlock of the crypted partition you need to find a way to unlock it, if it is a swap you can just recreate it, look for LUKS on google about how to manually encrypt partitions [08:04] Flannel: The docs say, sudo passwd -dl root === andrew_ is now known as freezway [08:04] Ileden: none that I know of, no [08:04] brb [08:04] Here. sudo passwd -dl root [08:05] theadmin: That just deletes the password as well as locks the account, they both lock the account. [08:05] cablop: i commented the other swap then entered this command: swapon /dev/mapper/cryptswap1. No errors but i can't see any activity using system monitor [08:05] Right, that's the objective. [08:05] But what does d do? [08:05] ok, so does anyone here have AV sync issues with kdenlive [08:05] tiox: See what Flannel said [08:05] tiox: deletes the password [08:05] prety normal, you need to really demand memory to start using a crypted swap [08:05] Oh. [08:05] tiox, so, log-in as root? [08:05] tiox: -l locks the account, -dl deletes and locks. [08:06] jasongriffee: If you think that will do it. Otherwise see what nautilus-gksu does for you. [08:06] pinoyoragon: but if you forgot the pwd of the other partition, then i srongly suggest you to recreate the partition, not a big deal, cause it is kjust a swap [08:06] !info nautilus-gksu | jasongriffee [08:06] jasongriffee: nautilus-gksu (source: gksu): privilege granting extension for nautilus using gksu. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.2-5ubuntu2 (natty), package size 5 kB, installed size 80 kB [08:06] but, why are we enabling root anyway? what's wrong with sudo? [08:06] nautilus-gksu does not work, is there a extra step? [08:06] Flannel: It's an end-all solution. [08:07] cablop: can u guide me on how to recreate it? i can't see it in fdisk -l [08:07] But, used sparingly, of course. [08:07] (I've been perusing backscroll, I can't find the original question) [08:07] flannel, some people came from other linux distros, not only from windows, they need to do things the way they're used to [08:07] Flannel: Everybody hates sudo for no reason tbh [08:07] Flannel: In Gentoo it's even discouraged *shrug* [08:07] i hate sudo, because it makes me feel like using windows vista [08:08] theadmin: Because n00bs think admin rights should be sprinkled like fairy dust. [08:08] theadmin: That's because it doesn't make flames shoot out of your computer's fans, but we're looking to support people, even if that means explaining that their habits aren't the best way :) [08:08] im heading off for a bit, adios [08:08] Okay, BRB, gonna wreck my system. [08:09] jasongriffee: What permission error are you getting? [08:09] jasongriffee: You can't read the CD? or what? [08:09] Flannel: are you familiar with wput? im trying to upload a file from a certain directory in my home folder but the output on the server saves the directory structure starting from the root so im seeing a home folder user folder and so on in the target location [08:09] Flannel: Well as for me I always configure sudo the ubuntu way, that is with some admin group [08:09] Flannel: sadly this is open source world, at some points there's no better way [08:10] cablop: There's no reason to use root, has not been since 5.10 or so. [08:10] flannel i do for maintenance when i need fast scripts to solve issues and not willing to deal with pwd management [08:11] cablop: You don't need to use root for that, you can use sudo -i. [08:11] i learned linux the red hat way... so i got used to use root directly [08:11] then sudo -i drops me in a root console, making me root... same thing [08:11] cablop: No, it's very different. [08:11] cablop: Different, you don't give out root password to people [08:11] but flannel, i know a real case when you need to go directly into root [08:12] when you have to move home to a different partition preserving permissions [08:12] I've mounted a windows share on server 10.04 and can read but cannot write, what can I do to enable write access? [08:12] you cannot have any user using /home at that moment [08:12] cablop: You should be doing that from single user mode/recovery console anyway. [08:12] and theadmin if you lose your password it is the same deal if they have root pwd or not [08:13] Flannel: Which is a root account anyway ;) [08:13] flannel, nope if you cannot interrupt the activity of a server [08:13] theadmin: But you aren't /enabling/ root. [08:13] Flannel: true... [08:13] cablop: ubuntu on a server? wut? [08:14] home server [08:14] woomla: Using Samba? or NFS? [08:14] development server on an ntranet [08:14] Flannel: I think samba [08:14] cablop: regardless, there's no reason to ever recommend anyone enable the root account in this channel. [08:14] i saw people installing ubuntu as server to enable just mysql and pache to test what they're evelopng... ah, and the subversion server [08:15] woomla: And you're on Ubuntu trying to write to Windows? or on Windows trying to write to Ubuntu? [08:15] flannel... but... i never understood why is that big fear of using a root account [08:16] cablop: its not fear, its smart [08:16] Flannel: I'm on ubuntu server trying to write to windows. I have an entry in fsab //server/share /mnt/share cifs exec,credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0 [08:16] cablop: Cause Ubuntu is for hamsters which tend to do weird things with the root account [08:16] *fstab [08:16] LOL [08:16] cablop: No fear, but it provides zero/little benefit and has some drawbacks. Also, this channel assumes you have the root account locked, and it cuts down on diagnosis time if we don't have to continue to ask people. [08:16] theadmin, lmao I see what you did there [08:17] how to mount folder as D: drive [08:17] jasongriffee: linux doesn't have "D drive" [08:17] jasongriffee not heard of D drive in nix [08:18] jasongriffee: in linux, a harddisk is devided in partitions [08:18] jasongriffee: you can mount a samba share to a folder and access it that way [08:18] jasongriffee: "mount /dev/sdz12 /media/D\:\ Drive"? lol [08:18] jasongriffee: what do you actually want to achieve? [08:19] mounting a folder on his D drive.... [08:19] woomla: I believe you need to mount it with "uid=whatever-your-user-is", that makes you the owner, and able to modify [08:20] netspy: makes no sense here, I want him/her to use rgular language, not this "D drive" nonsense which Microsoft makes them use [08:20] ActionParsnip: I believe he's using Wine, and wants to mount it to D: in Wine [08:20] Flannel: until we get context, we'll never know :) [08:21] Flannel: In cifspw I have username= password=. And I'm able to read the contents and copy etc. [08:21] nother possibility Flannel! [08:21] ActionParsnip: If you lastlog him, you'll see he's using Wine to install something from a CD. [08:21] hey [08:21] Flannel: not sure pidgin has thatbut I get your point [08:21] anyone here use kdenlive? [08:21] woomla: That's the password for Windows, the uid=* is the UID for Linux [08:22] woomla: (one tells you what to tell Windows who you are, the latter tells linux who to mount it as) [08:22] jasongriffee: is "D drive" the CD drive of the system per chance? [08:22] Flannel: So I put uid=root at the line in fstab? [08:23] woomla: Probably uid=1000 (assuming you're the first user on the system) [08:23] Flannel: i guess we'll never know [08:24] anyone here running 8.04 ubuntu? [08:24] Flannel: It's actually the second user. How again do I get this uid? (i'm rather new to linux) [08:24] iLLf8d: if they areit will be on server only (most likely) [08:24] !botabuse | ubottu [08:24] con-man: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [08:25] pwnt [08:25] please someone dear god help me [08:25] woomla: Run "id" in the terminal [08:25] backfired [08:25] con-man: Please stop that. [08:25] i need help with kdenlive [08:25] ok [08:25] I did it one time? [08:25] con-man: More than enough :D [08:25] Hurry up mkfs.ext4! :-( 3TB is taking 20 minutes [08:25] troof [08:25] woomla: 'id' will spit out a bunch of stuff, you're looking for the first bit "uid=1001(woomla)" or something similar, that number is your uid [08:26] Flannel: got it [08:26] freezway: I'm sure a good many users use it. Does that answer your question enough. Look on the notice boards for the app, lots of users discussing it. There are kdenlive users. They do exist [08:27] you know I implemented an IRC server out of our local datacentre at work which is now used by 200+ employees and all I got for my company changing project was a $50 spotlight award [08:27] rage: 3TB is quite big. Are the disks still being accessed? [08:27] i want to run nfshs on wine, that's it [08:27] Loshki: Yeah, I'm just been impatient I think :-) [08:27] ActionParsnip, yeah, i cant find a soln to my problem. Its 1:22AM here and i got 4 hours sleep last night and i have a massive video project due tomorrow. [08:28] alaska? [08:28] Flannel: Works! I put uid=1002 in fstab, mount -a and now I can write to the share for this user. [08:28] freezway: youo may get more replies if you ask you actual question [08:28] woomla: Glad to hear it [08:28] rage: slow drives huh [08:29] Flannel: Can i put more uid in fstab? I want other users to have access to. [08:29] woomla: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html might help if you're looking for more information, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently (the latter breaks down each piece and explains it in the fstab options) [08:29] ActionParsnip: Yeah, its USB2.0. [08:29] Flannel: thanx [08:29] rage: then definately slow [08:29] how can i make "mv" create a target directory if it doesn't exist? [08:30] Viliny: just looked in: man mv doesn't look like it's an option [08:31] ActionParsnip: oh bummer [08:31] Viliny: You can't, but you can "mkdir -p TARGETDIR" first. [08:31] woomla: You can only specify one uid (because that becoems the "owner" of the files, but you *can* specify a gid (group ID), and then let that group have access. But I imagine this problem is more common than just you, so someone may have a more elegant solution [08:31] ActionParsnip, yeah, i did. i stated that i cant get AV to sync and i get weird artifacts [08:31] and if it's a bash script that does this several times a day? how does mkdir like existing directories? [08:32] Viliny: by using a script, like "if [directory not exist] then [create directory] [08:32] Viliny: It doesn't. How about combining that with an "if [ ! -d directory ]"? [08:32] now i'm rying to figure how to connect to freenode from quassel... quassel seems like a pidgin... to simple to setup so i don't know what to do xD [08:32] Tx Flannel, I hope someone read that and can give me some links to how to enable groups rights on windows shares. [08:32] theadmin: im not sure if i know the bash syntax for if clauses though [08:32] cablop, help in #quassel as well [08:33] Viliny: help if [08:33] thjanks bazhang [08:33] Viliny: this is the time to learn it, what you want is not too complicated [08:34] Viliny: Simpliest way for you: [ ! -d targetdir ] && mkdir -p targetdir [08:34] -d means directory? [08:35] does that line work in a way that if the first command fails the sceonds doesn't get executed by default? [08:35] woomla: Seems the group thing is what this recommends: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently#Multiple%20Users However, you might also try adding "noperm" instead of uid=*, see if that works. [08:35] Viliny: Yeah, && executes the second operand if the first operand succeeds [08:35] idd [08:35] Viliny: you can also use 'test' command (test -d) [08:36] Viliny: And yeah, -d means "file exists and is a directory" [08:36] okay, thanks a lot theadmin, you've been of great help [08:36] Viliny: Therefore, "!-d" means "file doesn't exist or isn't a directory" :D [08:36] woomla: The latter suggestion comes from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 (search for samba), it is old though (2006), so that's why I'm not sure if it will work. But we can try it!

[08:38] i mean, the first part is isolated but the second part isn't [08:38] Viliny: [ ] is just a shortcut to the "test" command [08:38] Sweetnas.

'startfluxbox' fails with not being able to contact the xorg server [08:54] if i 'xinit' it all works beautifully [08:54] what am i missing thats preventing xorg from starting at boot to begin with?

[09:46] lesshaste: what version of ubuntu are you using [09:46] durre: evolution has exchange support, but it's not amazing [09:46] ikonia: lucid but that's doesn't really matter as there is no texlive 2010 in any stable distro of ubuntu === zz is now known as Guest82189 [09:46] ikonia: I tried ikonia but couldnt get it working with our version of exchange [09:46] ikonia: the problem is the package management system which doesn't track the latest versions of texlive [09:47] lesshaste: you may find a PPA with a later versions [09:47] !latest [09:47] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.

[09:57] !root | DeWe [09:57] DeWe: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

Maybe by using imagemagick or something like that? Or just a program that can sort files by resolution. So I can delete them manually. I tried Gwenview, but it can't. Also gqview cant.

For sometime now, whenever I boot ubuntu, it boots up to busybox showing initramfs as shell. From initial solutions mentioned on the web I have cleaned my partition on Windows (using chkdsk), but the problem still persists. Any suggestions how I could fix my problem??

[10:41] maalac: http://paste.ubuntu.com/623250/ [10:41] maalac: ok scratch that [10:42] its working now ..but my main problem is that its not getting update from ubuntu4hp [10:42] maalac: http://paste.ubuntu.com/623253/ [10:42] its saying broken packages [10:43] maalac: ahh, if it's working then thats fin [10:43] e [10:43] no need to add my line === denny- is now known as denny [10:43] maalac: can you pastebin the broken packages text please [10:43] pcoder, Using wubi can be problematic; it's primary reason for being is to try ubuntu; if you like it you really should install it, dual boot if necessary. As to your problem, about the only thing I can think of is to defrag.

[10:46] ok hold on .. [10:47] * ActionParsnip sighs [10:47] Hey. Simple question I think but I have this program that I run through the terminal, but for some reason, if I do sudo / gksudo ./ it never prompts me for password, which means the program doesn't have sudo access. [10:48] Moopz: sudo and gksudo have grace periods where the password isnt required to be re-entered [10:48] ActionParsnip: but it doesn't prompt me after I restart either. I know the program doesn't have sudo access because it cannot operate properly without it. [10:49] Moopz: if the program is a gui app (like gedit) then be sure you always use gksudo === jakemp is now known as jakemp|sleep [10:49] Moopz: any program can be ran wit sudo etc [10:49] !away > jakemp|sleep [10:49] jakemp|sleep, please see my private message [10:49] Issue booting back into windows after removing hard drive, I cannot boot to the windows recovery DVD, can't figure how to make Grub load me into windows.

[10:50] maalac: see how you gave ALL that text and you didn't scroll the channel? [10:51] maalac: that's why I told you to use a pastebin, but you ignored me, so the bot threw you out [10:51] sorie about that .. [10:51] pcoder, No problem. :-) Defrag is short for defragment; it's found in windows in, disk services, I think; it's been a while... [10:51] maalac: can you give the output of: lsb_release -d it's one line so is cool to paste :) [10:51] I have been tasked with finding Black Ubuntu and other Linux developers for next year's Black History month.

If I use gksudo it tries to start up the prompt for the password, but it just stops or crashes and returns. [10:53] Moopz: I see. [10:54] maalac: if you install the things that aren't going to be installed, individually. Do they install [10:54] Sidewinder1, I have started the defragmenter...

[11:00] maalac: can you run: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin the file, thanks [11:00] ActionParsnip, any other way [11:00] ok hold on .. [11:00] sritolia: thats all I can personally suggest, maybe others can advise [11:01] which file controls lcd brightness? http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Power_Management#Adjust_LCD_brightness [11:01] sipior: It's Xilinx - A program for FPGAs. the command i run is gksudo ise - Which I know is the right executable because I can launch it just fine without sudo but it doesn't function properly unless it has sudo. [11:01] here it is : https://pzt.me/9isj [11:01] Moopz: and the file command? [11:01] Moopz: then you can use alacarte to edit the launcher so it is prefixed with gksudo :) [11:02] sipior: There is no file command. It's GUI program. [11:02] Moopz: "file ise" [11:02] ActionParsnip: That's what I do though.

[11:03] maalac: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list you will get write access, then you can remove the # characters from the lines with repos on, save the new file,close gedit then run: sudo apt-get update [11:03] Moopz: and when you run it via sudo, it drops out without prompting for a password? [11:04] maalac: any with single #s, delete the #, if the line has 2 #s, leave them [11:04] sipior: it says it cannot find it when I use sudo: sudo: ise: command not found [11:04] Moopz: what about "sudo ./ise"? [11:04] maalac: leave the CDROM stuff commented out, you have the web to install stuff with [11:04] ok. i'll try that ... [11:05] How do I copy files from my Downloads folder to my flash drive? [11:05] 30554 rooms [11:05] by the way .. [11:05] what does it mean when it says restricted ? [11:05] maalac: restricted == no open source [11:05] Moopz: or simply provide the full path to the executable, if you prefer. [11:06] maalac: you'll end up with this: https://pzt.me/4i3b [11:06] sipior: Yeah I forgot that part. It launched but without prompting me for password. Can you force it to prompt the password? [11:06] lumbert, Why not just drag them and drop using Nautilus? [11:07] maalac: you get the idea [11:07] Sidewinder1, when I tried it said I need permissions [11:07] Moopz: you can try "sudo -K" to remove the timestamp, then try again. [11:07] yes i do ..

[11:15] ActionParsnip, Okay, well so far that seemed to have solved the problem. [11:15] Sidewinder1, doesn't the ability to make a folder mean I can write? [11:16] my windows are 'lagging' a bit when i move them around. any tips on that? [11:16] lumbert, If the flash drive is exclusively for ubuntu, you *may* be able to reformat it to ext3 or ext4 using Gparted, but CAUTION! if you do that ALL existing data on there will be lost. [11:17] Sidewinder1, it seems to me i can already write, i just need to go into a permissible state [11:17] lumbert, I believe that making a directory and writting files are different.

[12:03] I found it Sidewinder1! Thanks! [12:03] jnlsnl_: -a is already recursive: cp -av should be sufficient (and nicely verbose) [12:03] SoftarPaul, System-->Administration--> Synaptic, it should then list all packages, including the broken ones.

[13:33] esi, you can mix different chips, as long as you make sure they all run on the exact same setting, preferably with each pair of chips in the correct pair slots [13:33] it evidently does [13:33] I didn't make the setup myself, to be honest [13:34] esi, the rule of thumb is to buy all your memory at once for your mobo and never worry about it again [13:34] soreau: Wow...

I typed "wine '/media/MSFURY3/setup.exe'" into a terminal, but instead of hitting enter in the terminal, I hit enter in nautilus where I had the CD thing open... where it told me that the executable bit was not set [14:59] It will probably run far better than anything in Linux. [14:59] pfifo: so I have initrd /initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic nomodeset [14:59] how do I install xmove on 11.04? [14:59] sipior: works fine with autohotkey on windows, but I can't find a good method on linux [14:59] SoobNauce, Also Windows in a Linux Host VM is stupidly quick too. [14:59] thisismygame, nope, thats the initrd line, add it before the -- on the previous line [15:00] anyone happen to know how to get windows to copy paste files to samba (ubuntu os) at speeds above 1gbps (using lan teaming on windows) [15:00] SoobNauce, its some weird security thing ubuntu does where a .exe has to be executable or else it wine wont try to run it.. makes it very annoying in many ways. [15:00] sipior: there's nothing to think about, as I've got it working as expected in another os [15:00] pfifo: pardon my nooblery [15:00] thisismygame, np [15:00] SoobNauce, its not a wine limitaion its the wine front end that gnome uses that wants it. [15:00] dr_willis: I see. Thanks. [15:00] thedeaths: to begin, use rsync instead of cp [15:00] pfifo: bingo [15:00] never heared of rsync :( [15:01] !rsync [15:01] rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [15:01] hi, how can i generate random MAC address? [15:01] Typh: it's just an awful idea. [15:01] thedeaths: http://rsync.samba.org/ [15:01] najib, as long as it's unique in your network [15:01] sipior: uhhh... [15:02] doh, i dont really want to have shared folder systems [15:02] how to normally start computer it gives error initrmfs....... [15:02] Typh: teasing, friend. do what you like :-) [15:02] pfifo: thank you very much sir. so I'll just edit my grub line to have "nomodeset" on it [15:02] nerdy_kid: hey [15:02] thedeaths, the fastest solution would be a FTP connection [15:02] thisismygame, dont forget that, youll need it al the time [15:02] Kenty22, hi [15:02] sipior: I only have one hand, I'm trying to setup a mirror qwerty layout [15:02] heh mostly just wanted a way to be able to acces the nas at full 2gbps speed (like when copying a game from nas to pc) [15:02] pfifo: why is that? i dont have video drivers installed yet, i'm guessing. [15:03] How to reset keyboard. My external keyboard num lock keys are not working. I have changes the keybord preferences. I dont know how to revert to default settings. Any help? [15:03] so ye: why cant windows copy paste it that fast :p [15:03] Typh: sticky keys aren't an option? [15:03] it can handle 95% average on 2 seperate pc's both 1gbps,but on teaming it fails :( [15:03] thisismygame, the kernel is now responsible for setting the video mode, however the older drivers still think its taken care of by X [15:03] thedeaths, something's missing in your description as copy-paste is not a network protocol [15:04] heh well [15:04] no idea what network protocol windows would use if i go to \\ubuntu\storage [15:04] is it possible to use wget on a link that redirects you to the file you want? I tend to just get a nonsense garbage file? Or " ERROR 403: Bad hash." [15:04] Typh: you can have a look at xmodmap as well, which should allow you to set keys more or less as desired. [15:04] and copy paste a file there with explorer :p [15:04] thedeaths, this means you already have a Samba share [15:04] ye the share and what else works [15:05] it's just windows (i think) [15:05] I find both using sources.list and PPA a bit confusing. what to prefer in ubuntu? [15:05] guessing windows isnt using the teamed interface [15:05] julie: i am looking if the is already any tool/script to generate MAC address [15:05] thedeaths, I told you before: FTP would be the fastest solution [15:05] but rather only uses 1 port [15:05] but ftp is the annoying solution :p [15:05] oh well [15:06] can anyone guide me step by step how can i recover my photos from a damaged hard disc [15:06] pls [15:06] MALICEVSKI, is it currently unmounted? [15:06] !info photorec [15:06] Package photorec does not exist in natty [15:07] Hmm what is the name of that app. [15:07] i cant get in it [15:07] MALICEVSKI, you could try dd_rescue or ddrescue to clone/rescue it to an image file then mount the image file and try to access the photos [15:07] MALICEVSKI, when dealing with damaged drives or lost data, always unmount the drive ASAP [15:07] !ddrescue [15:07] hey guys can someone tell me why this script is not working http://pastebin.com/mb8vvE9X, I'm starting it, but when I try to stop it it says no such ID [15:07] how to do that [15:08] sorry [15:08] does mounting takes a long time. === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [15:08] check the ddrescue homepage for its ussage. You will need a spare HD with free space the size of the one you want to recover.. === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [15:08] MALICEVSKI, you basically turn off the machine and restart it with a recovery disk [15:08] pradeep: mounting takes less than a second [15:09] MALICEVSKI, ddrescue is a good option but is a bit complex to use... [15:09] ill give a try [15:09] can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help [15:09] http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html [15:09] another thing. i checked the partition with the gui mode, it says some bad sectors [15:09] ddrescue -i0 -s50M /dev/hdc hdimage logfile [15:09] Typh: using xmodmap you could modify keymapping [15:09] MALICEVSKI, also keep in mind that anything you do on the disk, even with the rescue utility might damage it further, so if you have stuff worth real money, you should hire pros [15:10] Typh: not sure what you mean by modifier key though [15:10] i have all my pics there [15:10] log [15:10] oCean: "alt", "ctrl", "meta"... [15:10] can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help [15:10] can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help [15:10] can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help [15:10] CoolCoder: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:11] oCean: yeah, that [15:11] this is when you learn to start keeping backups [15:11] MALICEVSKI, then I can only wish you good luck [15:11] no help for this group!!!! [15:11] pentarex, try echo -n, and ensure that the PID is acttually correct [15:11] sipior: Typh ok, I know how to change value's for a key, but not sure how to make it differ between 1 stroke and 'hold' [15:11] or combination [15:11] CoolCoder, flooding the question - tends to get you ignored. === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [15:11] simple questions even no one can answer in this group. then why this people is here [15:12] Sidewinder1: sorry for changing my nick but that was my auto away when my session crashed :) [15:12] * pfifo knows the answer [15:12] oCean: yeah, same. I might have to just settle for seperate keys. [15:12] now ubuntu says unable to open /dev/sda stdin; error 0. and halts [15:12] i am getting mad. i am on IRC for last 4 years and in Ubunto chat 5th time. No one even responded to my simple isssues. [15:12] CoolCoder, you dident just hit the NUMlock did you? [15:12] CoolCoder, is it a laptop? [15:12] CoolCoder: is that because you have not received reply in 5 minutes? [15:12] yes [15:12] laptop [15:12] dell [15:12] and external keyboard [15:12] pradeep: You mount a partition (/dev/sda1) not a harddrive (/dev/sda) [15:13] I cant recall ever seeing differnt settings for the external/laptop keyboards.. === errorcode is now known as errorINcode [15:13] oCean: Typh: you can use a "keysym" directive to map the desired meta key to whatever you like, but i don't honestly know how it will work when mapped to Space. I assume you have key repeating turned off, Typh? [15:13] Is there a specific chat for ubuntu issues on dell machines? [15:14] Linux Kernel V2.6.39.1.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q [15:14] oCean: i have waited for 2 hours. because somehow i need to get the issues fixed. not this keyboard. another issues. no one even responded. chat is moving so fast. but there is no one to deal with simple issues like this as i am a beginer in Ubuntu [15:14] KNUBBIG, No prob. :-) [15:14] Linux Kernel V2.6.39.1.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q [15:14] CoolCoder, some laptops have blue function keys, and you can enable or disable the num keys with a function key [15:14] Linux Kernel V2.6.39.1.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q [15:14] sipior: I use xmodmap to change keys, for example to change 'left' key to 'backspace' [15:14] It was working compdoc: [15:14] oCean: sure, this is just an extension of that. [15:14] hi everyone [15:14] since i have changed something on keyboard setting [15:14] sipior: yeah, I've mapped it to a normally unused modifier, but getting keyup to just output space seems impossible [15:15] its like this compdoc: [15:15] CoolCoder, does it work properly for a newly made user? if so then its just some user config you you can proberly reset/file you can delete. if it affects all users. then it would be a system wide setting [15:15] can anyone tell me what the simplest to install and configure sock 5 proxy server is? [15:15] CoolCoder: don't forget it's all volunteers here, let your attitude reflect that [15:15] I'm not sure what wujie is suggesting there :x [15:15] Guest11444, it wouldn't make sense to have a channel per computer make, just ask your question [15:15] dr_willis: ok let me check that [15:15] then will comeback [15:15] !sock5 [15:15] CoolCoder, hold down the func key, and type the key that looks like the numpad (in blue) and try to enable it [15:16] thanks everyone. This is my first response for you people. good luck. [15:16] compdoc: ok [15:16] * pfifo puts 5 bitcoins on CoolCoder having mouse keys enabled [15:16] i can boot from windows but now ubuntu now. live boot also collapse [15:16] Typh: typing it twice in a row doesn't output Space? [15:16] I can't get my machine to suspend or hibernate (fresh install of natty). I've been looking at launchpad bug-reports and the forums. [15:16] A lot of users are having the same issue, but no solutions yet [15:16] sipior: nope [15:17] "pfifo puts 5 bitcoins on CoolCoder having mouse keys enabled" what is this? [15:17] Guest11444, is your swap at least the size of your ram [15:17] is it possible to grab the alt. cd and install the base ubuntu system then install gnome3 + ubuntu software centre without it installing unity? [15:17] CoolCoder, try pressing shift+numlock [15:17] yeah, it worked in maverick [15:17] and the partitions are the same size as before [15:17] sipior: Typh maybe something like this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2581784&postcount=4 [15:17] pfifo: not working [15:18] ok let me check for new user [15:18] has anyone else been having their USB controllers crash on AMD64 Xubuntu 11.04? [15:18] and will come back [15:18] thanks all [15:18] CoolCoder, better press it again cause that enabled it and that will make things even worse [15:18] do you guys notice google-linux is no more ...I guess it's relavence was questioned once too often , because I noticed lately that a lot of searches were so. [15:18] oCean: that looks promising [15:18] pfifo, to be exact: my swap is 9gb and i have 4gb of ram [15:18] sudden spew of errors followed by messages that suggested several USB devices had just been connected (which really had been connected a long time ago), and now I/O errors from a USB disk [15:19] Typh: I think so, I hope it's useful.. I have to run afk for a while. [15:19] oCean: Typh: might be a way to go, assuming it allows for conditional execution. [15:19] If I add a ppa that has a package I need, but also includes packages that I don't need, and some of those packages that I don't need have the same name as an ubuntu-supported package that I need, how do I get the ubuntu-supported package? aptitude keeps telling me that the package is from an untrusted source, so it's obviously defaulting to the ppa source. [15:19] BluesKaj, why would anyone allow Google to spy on their Linux installation? :P [15:20] julie, ?? [15:20] BluesKaj: as you know, offtopic talk in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:20] BluesKaj, you know how Google puts spyware on everything they do? [15:20] Hello everyone, long time Ubuntu user, first time caller...haha. So I just installed Ubuntu 11 on my work computer and I'm about to start migrating everything from windows xp over to ubuntu... I've come across a couple problems so far but I figure they're easily fixable. Firstly, at first boot-up Ubuntu didn't recognize my windows partition. I tried to mount it via terminal and I got an error telling me it was already mounted, [15:20] oCean, google-linux is relavent [15:21] BluesKaj: no it is not, this is for ubuntu support issues only, thanks [15:21] BluesKaj, oCean is right [15:21] hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a gateway netbook [15:21] but for some reason, it can't see the hard drive [15:21] oCean, well google-linux used to be part of the support searches [15:21] oCean: Typh: it's a tricky problem. i'd be interested in hearing how this works for you. [15:21] gparted only shows the USB stick I put Ubuntu on [15:22] !ot |blueskaj [15:22] blueskaj: #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! [15:22] the HDD works, windows is running on it right now [15:22] sipior: I'll keep you updated [15:22] thefisher86, you should be able to find your windows partition in /media/ [15:22] TuxOtaku, in the bios, is there an option for sata or ahci emulation for the drives? [15:22] ooooh! never thought of that [15:22] lemme go check compdoc [15:22] julie, oCean , I have one response ...bah humbug ! [15:23] pfifo I looked there, there was nothing [15:23] julie, pls get ontopic yourself, BluesKaj is helping out here as long as i know. [15:23] TuxOtaku, most linux distros support either ahci or native sata, so its a long shot [15:23] compdoc, it's set to IDE...should it be ahci? [15:23] thefisher86, is it listed in your bookmars as like 123GB partitoin or anything? [15:24] TuxOtaku, should work that way, but its worth a try. AHCI is better [15:24] pfifo no it's not... that's my problem [15:24] [122397.871035] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.4: fatal error [15:24] [122397.872856] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.4: force halt; handshake ffffc9000018e014 00004000 00004000 -> -110 [15:24] IDE shoule work with anything [15:24] should [15:24] that does look like some kind of software failure... [15:24] thefisher86, can you run these commands 'sudo fdisk -l` and `mount` and copy paste the results to this website http://fpaste.org [15:26] pfifo I can do that [15:26] pfifo I'm currently in windows, so let me restart [15:26] compdoc, that did it! thanks [15:26] TuxOtaku, cool [15:27] Hi [15:28] ? [15:28] Loo, good morning/evening/whatever :) [15:29] so, any other ideas as to why suspend/hibernate is broken (i definitely have enough swap space)? [15:30] Guest11444 had that same problem for ages now [15:30] Guest11444, is the swapo used to hold the hibernate files? I never thought so [15:30] *swap [15:30] Guest11444, Viliny if i had the hardware i could troubleshoot it, but I dont :( [15:31] compdoc: think so, as for me, hibernate fails due to the small amount of swap I have [15:31] I dont have anything sensitive here, i could give you remote access :D [15:31] Guest11444, yeah but Id loose it on suspend lol [15:31] it doesnt make sense the hibernate file would be placed in the swap area [15:31] Sorry but I'm French and I don't understand. Do you know a french canal? [15:31] !fr | Loo [15:31] Loo: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [15:32] ok thanks [15:32] je peux traduire sinon :D [15:32] compdoc it makes sense to me: ram copied to swap, then swap copied to ram [15:32] but i have no clue [15:32] pfifo, what was that paste site again? [15:32] fpaste.org [15:32] thefisher86, http://fpaste.org [15:33] well, what annoys me is that it was working fine in 10.10 then it's broken in 11.04 [15:33] It was very, very useful. [15:33] Guest11444, i would start be figuring out what has changed in the kernel [15:34] by [15:34] pfifo it's pasted [15:34] thefisher86, can you paste the resulting link here in the channel for us [15:34] When I boot Ubuntu 10.10 and log in I need to manually start pulseaudio to get sound. Any idea why it won't start automatically? [15:35] pfifo, so it mounted it as /host from the looks of things... that's weird [15:35] thefisher86, the URL of the paste, I need it [15:35] pfifo, that's the thing. I can get suspend and hibernate functionality back by using a rather old kernel (2.6.35) but then the touchpad doesn't work the way it should [15:36] thefisher86, if you did your installation on Windows, then it's normal that the Windows partition gets mounted in /host [15:36] how to MySQL upgrade from 5.0.51a to 5.1 ubuntu 8.04 server edition ? [15:36] pfifo, how do i check the changes to the kernel though? and what can i do about it? [15:36] Guest11444: to make the touchpad work, you need to add something in the grub, moment, ill look it up [15:37] can anyone tell me what the simplest to install and configure sock 5 proxy server is? [15:37] MonkeyDust, in natty i get perfect two-finger scrolling vertically and horizontally. it's beautiful [15:37] pfifo don't worry about it just looking at the output of mount I was able to figure it out [15:37] there must be something that works out of the box with minimal config :( [15:37] Guest11444, first check the version numbers, and read the change logs for anything acpi related, thencheck the new kernel to see what the configuration is like. [15:37] thefisher86, a wubi install I take it [15:38] yep [15:38] pfifo, but that's like...30 changelogs! [15:39] Guest11444, debugging is not easy [15:39] pfifo, ;_; [15:39] Guest11444, but just think of all the glory! youd be a launchpad hero [15:39] lol [15:39] hahaha [15:40] Guest11444: in /etc/default/grub find this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and add atkbd.reset [15:40] Hello all, I have a question, my Ubuntu 11.04 is having issues at the splash screen... it shows the color of the background (in the splash screen) but don't show the Ubuntu and the loading dots. It started happening after I installed World of Warcraft, any ideas what to do? [15:41] MonkeyDust, to get the touchpad working properly under 2.6.35? [15:42] Guest11444: yes [15:42] Guest11444: atkbd means AT keyboard [15:42] MonkeyDust, well, the touchpad "works", it just fails with multi-touch issues [15:43] Guest11444: it worked for me [15:43] hi guys, I have a USB spectrometer that I would like to talk to, but I can't find any information about how the USB interface is working these days, only deprecated texts, anyone can point me to some relevant information about USB and how it works these days? [15:43] Guest11444, maybe we will luck out and my mom's new laptop will suffer from that problem [15:43] pfifo, get her a dell! [15:43] are there gonna be ubuntu-classroom today? [15:44] pfifo, I think your mom would love a dell studio 1747 [15:44] * BluesKaj wonders where those OT cops disappeared to :) [15:44] pfifo, that core i7 processor is just what she needs [15:44] Guest11444, no this is a acer, older model on clearance [15:45] ravn: try seeing if its even being recognised by opening a terminal and typing lsusb [15:45] Trond--: maybe in the next room [15:45] hahaha nuts [15:45] netspy, I am in the #ubuntu-classroom [15:45] Guest11444, but your right my mom would love that dell lappy, so long as it has a numberpad [15:45] ravn: there may be a firware issue involved [15:45] ravn, what kind of spectrometer ? [15:46] oops firmware [15:46] pfifo, it does, and a 17 inch monitor [15:46] BluesKaj: Ocean Optics USB 2000 [15:47] eiriksvin: there is one line listing it, but there is no name printed there... [15:47] hi [15:47] ravn: then it is a driver or firmware related issue [15:47] is there someone? [15:48] ravn: one moment, I'm searching for a driver fix [15:48] Hi zlikeyou, do you have a question? [15:48] eiriksvin: ok, what does that mean? I though I could send and receive commands to any usb device no matter what? [15:48] eiriksvin: ok, thanks. [15:48] yes, I have a problem with GTK-Gnutella, it doesn't wanna load!! [15:49] ravn, you can communicate with it through USB, but that doesn't mean you'll know which commands to send and how to interpret the results === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [15:49] hi [15:49] hi guys does anyone here know how i can see my old mac os x drive on ubuntu 11.04 64 bit ? [15:49] finally i find here [15:49] ravn: some USB devices need to be run using a specified driver or proprietary firmware, although sometimes you can run it native [15:50] yes, I have a problem with GTK-Gnutella, it doesn't wanna load!! [15:50] julie: yes, right, but I know the commands (I think :) from the Windows LabView VISA drivers that exists... [15:50] i wanna use a partition in my ubuntu that before was in 7 [15:50] how can i do it [15:50] ols help me [15:51] is there any here? [15:51] plss :( [15:51] I wanna use my partition of ubuntu to install debian 6.0 and I wanna keep all my video and other things is it possible? [15:51] ravn, what end use is the spectrometer, for measuring what ? This may be relavent . but I'm not certain. [15:52] MonkeyDust, so the line should be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and add atkbd.reset [15:52] * mman (~mman@f053220095.adsl.alicedsl.de) has joined #ubuntu [15:52] Hello all, I have a question, my Ubuntu 11.04 is having issues at the splash screen... it shows the color of the background (in the splash screen) but don't show the Ubuntu and the loading dots.

[15:56] oh boy huge room [15:56] you said it [15:56] so, I want to report a problem with ehci_hcd crashing; is there something I can do first to check if it's a hardware fault? I didn't have any issues with USB on a live CD, but it seems to be just an occasional random crash... [15:56] Sahar, giving us the output you get from mount and "fdisk -l" could help [15:56] I wanna use my partition of ubuntu10.04 install debian 6.0 and I wanna keep all my video and other things is it possible?

[15:59] I got a problem with my plymouth: On shtudown, it displays correctly, but on startup, it displays nothing, just my GRUB2-Background image. Any ideas? [16:00] Sahar, unfortunately missed the main information so paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com and give us the link [16:00] i'm trying to implement zfs using raid-z but I'm not sure if do I have to format my disk drives during installation as software raid, or its fine to do it after the whole system is installed? [16:00] Is there a way to load the splashscreen, then load the binary drivers? [16:00] ok [16:00] eiriksvin: well, yes, I don't think anyone has done it since it is a quite specific product, and there are working windows drivers... [16:00] i got it [16:01] Hi everybody! My ubuntu no longer auto mount any usb-drive or cd-disk. Does anybody can help? [16:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/623481/ [16:01] ravn: yeah I found the windows drivers, but looking into how to implement those windows drivers on Linux is the next part... not having much luck either [16:01] how can I record my speaker output (+ microphone) with audacity or so? [16:02] and i hv fedoa to in my laptop [16:02] there is no "Steereo Mix" output, I can only access the microphone and line in things [16:02] i have a microsd in my vodafone845 that must be writeabel, how can i make the ext2/ext3-part of the microsd-card save my files ? [16:02] its better to let some people know how to use http://paste.ubuntu.com [16:02] is there a way to control which monitor OSD notifications are displayed on?

Can i ask it here ? [16:03] Hello I'm running an old ubuntu 8.10 (compatability reasons) and i cannot connect to wireless networks. DHCPDISCOVER fails with any wifi-manager I've tried (network-manager, wifi-radar and rutilt) This is the output I get in terminal when running any of those wifi-programs: http://cxg.de/_df1114.htm How do I fix this? [16:03] basil_kurian_:never ask to ask [16:04] bad_alloc, can you paste bin 'iwconfig' and 'iwlist' [16:05] eiriksvin, I think there is a way of doing that, but i can't remember where I saw the instructions (this was for 10.10 btw) [16:05] I 'm getting this error on starting jobtracker service of cloudera "Failed to operate on mapred.system.dir (hdfs://hadoop-namenode.shadow.local:9000/dfs/mapred) because of permissions. org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker: This directory should be owned by the user 'mapred'" [16:06] gedit will not die. 'sudo kill -9 6277' does not kill the process. Thoughts? [16:06] pfifo: sorry no, the notebook is currently somewhere else. But I can tell you that It's the dell intel chipset on wlan0 and an ALFA awus036H I'm using. neither works. [16:06] Sahar, which partition were you planning to use? I don't see any empty space there although some partitions are not mounted [16:06] however on ls -l , the pernission is drwxrwxrwx 6 mapred hadoop 4096 2011-06-10 17:37 mapred [16:06] pfifo: not a hardware fault though, the parallel windows can use wifi [16:07] there is extended partition there that i dont need it bcs i dont hv 7 os now [16:07] codazoda: probably a zombie. can you paste the relevant output line from ps? [16:07] bad_alloc, to fix the dhcpdiscover error... connect to a network with a dhcp server [16:07] and i hv fedora 2 [16:07] ravn, I think most iirc most spectroscopy apps /software was MS based , but I've been retired for 12 yrs now , so things harware/software definitely does chang ve rthe ys [16:08] and i hv fedora also that i cant see it in my boot menu after install ubuntu [16:08] err over the yrs [16:08] pfifo: the network definately has a dhcp server, as two other computers use that server. only this notebook fails at it. [16:08] gedit won't die. kill -9 fails to work. Output (http://pastebin.com/S7NMt8FG). [16:08] Sahar, you have to keep in mind that the extended partition is just a mapping partition and it is allocated in the partitions that follow it [16:08] bad_alloc, sounds like your unable to connect to that network [16:09] i dont need it . it wan in use of 7 [16:09] now i want format it [16:09] I believe this is causing "suspend" problems randomly. Since the process refuses to die. Reboot the only option? Seems... wrong. [16:09] Sahar, partitions sda5-8 are mapped on the extended partition and are all of Linux types [16:10] yes [16:10] codazoda: the process is waiting on i/o, and can't be interrupted in its current state. [16:10] ravn: I can't find anything worth saying [16:10] codazoda: I assume you tried to kill it as joel first [16:10] codazoda, open system onitor , find gedit and signal, terminate [16:10] monitor [16:10] Sahar, so there doesn't seem to be any remaining Windows partitions [16:10] * BluesKaj checks KB batteries [16:10] pfifo: yes. but why? do I have to deal with it™ or could you give me some pointers to further resources? [16:11] sipior: The io will never occur then. I want to force it to die anyway. No way? [16:11] sipior: I suspect the io might be from a fuse mount, which has gone away. [16:11] bad_alloc, use iwconfig and iwscan to try and connect manually [16:11] Why would aptitude tell me that a package has unmet dependencies that will not be installed and not install it? [16:11] Sorry, apt-get [16:11] bad_alloc, see where it fails in that process [16:12] Is it safe for Unity to build gnome-shell from source? [16:12] codazoda: that sounds about right. you used -f to remove the volume? [16:12] ok i think wrong thanks... but how can i see fedora in my boot menu again [16:12] pfifo: ok thanks for your time :) [16:12] sipior: No. Fuse just has bugs. I disconnected from the network, probably. [16:12] !grub [16:12] 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) [16:12] sipior: Without unmounting, I imagine. [16:12] codazoda: make sure the volume is really gone and unmounted. [16:12] codazoda: the process should then become unstuck. [16:13] bad_alloc, ive heard other praise wicd for is ability to connect to wireless when nm fails [16:13] pfifo: I've tried to install that once on that particular machine. as a result I lost most of my network config stuff. [16:14] bad_alloc, well yeah its an entirely seprate system from NM [16:14] how can i see fedora in my boot menu again.. i loss it after install fedora [16:15] Flash videos no longer saved in /tmp directory [16:15] Sahar, run `sudo update-grub` [16:15] pfifo: do you know if the nvidia GeForce 8400 G is supported in newer verseions of ubuntu (10.04+) [16:15] ok [16:15] Sahar? [16:15] pfifo, that won't work for Sahar's case [16:15] yes [16:15] ow [16:16] pfifo: I'm using 8.10 because of alledgedly unavalibale drivers for that graphics card. (i.e. without them the fan doesn't work and the card idles at 80°C) [16:16] bad_alloc, the nvidia site shows which cards are supported by the current blob, it should be [16:16] bad_alloc, . I run a 8400gs without any probs on 11.10 [16:16] sipior: Found a fuse mount that says "resource busy" got to be it. Trying to unmount anyway (since the network went away). [16:16] Sahar, I would suggest you boot in fedora from a restore / install disk and redo its boot configuration to be on the partition itself instead of the mbr, then restart in ubuntu and configure grub to just boot off that partition as a new menu entry... there are other ways to do it but this is the simplest I can think of [16:17] julie, why not os-prober finds my gentoo [16:17] hi there. im trying to get dual monitors working in ubuntu, when i goto screen resolution, its showing two monitors.. ive had to apply a setting change, log back in, out etc, ive rebooted, but i cant see anything on the 2nd screen, even if i mirror. any ideas please? [16:17] eiriksvin, http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen I think the solution i used earlier was similar to this...read the comments below, especially the 3rd answer [16:17] ok new disto it is, thanks #ubuntu [16:17] codazoda: right. try the "lazy unmount" option (-z) if you have problems removing the volume. [16:18] AdvoWork: can we see the part of xorg.conf relating to monitors? [16:18] pfifo, are you on a wubi install? === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [16:18] sipior: Err. Killed all my fuse mounts (one with -uz) and gedit still refuses to die. Bugger. [16:18] julie, no [16:18] eiriksvin, but it's for 10.10 so make backups if you're running another version [16:19] codazoda: hmm. you've verified they're no longer visible? [16:19] codazoda: might be stuck rebooting, i'm sorry to say. [16:19] siavoshkc, its: http://pastebin.com/dVFif05R [16:19] codazoda, `sudo killall -9 gedit` [16:19] Yup. There is one thing in there still. fusectl on /sys/ffusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) [16:20] u mean i istall fedora again:? [16:20] ok [16:20] codazoda: that always a last resort, of course, but if the i/o wait doesn't resolve itself... [16:20] Sahar, no you just boot it with the install / restore disk and redo the boot configuration [16:20] julie pls say clear [16:20] sipior: Problem is that this happens all the time. I'm tired of rebooting and need to "fix" the problem. [16:21] Sahar: are you from iran? [16:21] pfifo: killall does not work. kill -9 does not work. User, root, doesn't matter. [16:21] yes [16:21] ok [16:21] Sahar, unfortunately I don't know the exact steps to take in Fedora and this would be off-topic here [16:21] codazoda, what error message does it give? [16:21] ok tx bye the way [16:22] pfifo: None. See the paste bin. http://pastebin.com/S7NMt8FG [16:22] thanks, I'm looking into it now [16:22] oooh...interesting. If I add a new gnome panel to the top of the screen and move the "indicator applet" to it. notifications appear below it, on the correct monitor. With a single panel at the bottom of the screen, notifications get pushed to the top-right of my secondary monitor :-/ [16:22] codazoda: problem with fuse, i'm afraid. [16:22] siavoshkc, also, if i move my mouse or a document out of this monitor, it appears to go somewhere(but you cant see it) Also, since doing that ive now got 4 blocks(desktop bits) bottom right, but only 2 have stuff in [16:22] pfifo, sorry I don't see why os-loader wouldn't detect your Linux install and it is poorly documented [16:22] thisismygame: what's weird about that? [16:22] pfifo, sorry not os-loader, os-prober [16:23] sipior: No doubt. There's probably a solution somewhere thought. Like unmount all fuse mounts on suspend and/or power down. Maybe that would fix it, at least in the future. [16:23] *though [16:24] sipior: Thanks for the info. Knowing to look for io is helpful for future troubleshooting. I'll figure out how to unmount on suspend / shutdown. [16:24] codazoda: sure thing [16:24] codazoda, its defunct http://kenno.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/how-to-kill-defunct-process/ === o0oScoRcHo0o is now known as o0oScoRcHo0o|afk [16:25] Hello, I'm running ubuntu 11.04 (classic), and with Remmina Remote Desktop Client, when running in fullscreen, the horizontal scroll bar on the bottom of the screen renders below the window, which is underneath the application bar that is displayed there. How do I fix this? [16:26] AdvoWork: did you edit this file? [16:26] siavoshkc, im not sure, not recently :s but may have in the past [16:27] google for xorg.conf dual moinitor/output [16:29] how do i find out my ati name, without opening the case? [16:29] AdvoWork: sudo lspci -k [16:29] AdvoWork: (-k not really needed) [16:29] AdvoWork: perhaps sudo lspci | grep ati would be helpful [16:29] Hi, I am starting off with my first project on linux. It involves python, n other technology like php. Which book, or online resource will help me to understand linux , commands etc? [16:30] AdvoWork, sudo lshw -C vdeo [16:30] byomkeshbakshi: www.ldp.org [16:30] er video [16:31] want to try recovering my wep key without resetting the unit. using aircrack-ng but got this output [16:33] netspy, no output? [16:33] netspy, how can anyone here be sure you're not trying to hack your neighboor's connection? helping you would be very risky [16:34] Hi guys, is there anything I should know before installing gnome3 on my U11.04 ? (I've installed a lot of stuff already, is that going to be a problem?) [16:34] I tried to switch from Desktop Wall to the desktop Cube in the CompizConfig Settings Manager in Ubuntu 11.04, with the Ubuntu Classic profile, and my compiz settings are borked -- no window borders, no alt-tab, no workspace switching... how can I restore the Ubuntu Classic defaults? [16:34] what package should I tell apport-cli to report a USB/ehci_hcd problem? [16:34] julie, the knowledge can be used either way, its on him if hes doing something illegal [16:34] netspy, go to backtrack chan, and they will tell you "!neighbors" ^^ [16:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/623506/ [16:35] pfifo, I disagree.... you can't go around giving tutorial on committing theft and releasing responsibility that it's up to them [16:35] pfifo, but it's on us if he hack someone, we've been providing the information [16:36] julie: doing this for my own security not theft. /me responsible person [16:36] julie: depends if the tutorial is on committing theft directly, or merely on something that *might* be misused to commit theft [16:37] Does anyone know how to setup wicd at boot time? [16:37] the name "netspy" does sound suspicious... [16:37] netspy, your not in monitor mode, you might need to patch your driver, or better yet if your not already on a distro with ppatched drivers get backtrack or the aircrack livecd [16:37] anyone use wicd before?? [16:37] Hello, I would like to communicate over SILC, for privacy reasons. Does #ubuntu have a SILC server? [16:37] dont help if you dont want [16:37] dont argue [16:38] anyone know how to restore Ubuntu Classic compiz settings in 11.04? [16:38] szal: mostly that it was a strange suggestion, and that it was seemingly unrelated. the solution, as pfifo said, was to put "nomodeset" in the grub command [16:38] Does anyone know the steps to setup wicd in ubuntu for wireless. [16:38] thanks pfifo. i'ma check with backtrack [16:39] byomkeshbakshi: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ [16:39] anyone [16:39] tldp.org [16:39] netspy, also, check if your wireless card is even on the supported list [16:39] perlsyntax: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD ? [16:40] hey guys I have a question... I am trying to find what may be using a particular keybinding aks super+1 or 2 etc,, however,, nothing in the keybindings dialog or in gconf reveals what is using these combinations,,, any suggestions? [16:41] Is it possible to remove the hovering scollbar and still use Unity? The usability of the scrollbar is dreadful... [16:41] rms_is_god, mm I dont believe so,, although the overlay scrollbar works well here [16:41] rms_is_god, let me check [16:42] yes i look at that link before. [16:42] rms_is_god, http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/disable-overlay-scrollbars-in-ubuntu.html also try in google ubuntu 11.04 disable overlay scrollbar for other posts [16:42] coz_: Works well? You have to hover carefully over the thin scollbar, and then move the mouse yet again to find the buttons. It takes much longer than before to scroll [16:42] thisismygame: if that really was the solution then all is well :) .. thing is that, in my experience, analog video card-monitor connections exhibit problems you don't have w/ digital connections [16:42] coz_: thanks [16:42] does anyone know what file the "Login Screen Settings" keeps its settings in? specifically, my system is set auto-login and use "Ubuntu Classic" and now I'm unable to connect through VNC. [16:43] Hi guys, is there anything I should know before installing gnome3 on my U11.04 ? [16:43] Starting yesterday, Flash played 2 to 4 times as fast as it should and I'm not hearing any audio - even when trying to playback in Banshee. [16:43] bleh.. who compiled lame for *buntu? [16:43] i'm able to ssh in, however, so if i can identify the appropriate file, i should be able to change it back [16:43] galerien: That it'll take you twice as many clicks to do the same things [16:43] szal, launchpad [16:44] balleyne,It not connect to my wireless router still. [16:44] rms_is_god, I can't stand this new "search" thing and the way to get into my apps, I need this alt + F1 button [16:44] galerien: tried Gnome Do? [16:44] rms_is_god, and I hardly use my mouse at all, synapse is my friend [16:45] szal: interesting. which? [16:45] rms_is_god, synapse, faster, and this new search thing is here and it's bugging me, even if I don't use it, it's here..... [16:46] rms_is_god, what I'd like to know is weather I'm going to have to update nvidia, x or anything else that is kind of dangerous.... [16:46] perlsyntax: wireless router, or your wireless card? (I've not really used wicd much mysql, but have played around with wireless) [16:47] thisismygame: didn't find a pattern yet.. but w/ my 2nd machine, which I connected to my monitor via VGA, I've had 1280x1024 not showing, or tty not showing.. interestingly not w/ *buntu, w/ that (and Windblows) everything works, but w/ other distros I've had one or the other problem [16:47] galerien: I'm not sure, I tried GNOME 3 on Fedora and hated it [16:47] i got my splash screen back, using vga=792 and giving it a framebuffer, but now I have to fix the resolution of my splash screen [16:47] rms_is_god, ok, and it's integrated in fedora, thanks anyway ! [16:47] its an nVIDIA driver issue [16:48] pfifo: reason for my asking: it seems that lame doesn't take FLAC as input format on *buntu [16:48] does anyone know how to change to resolution of your splash screen? [16:56] how do I make my spash screen show at 1280x1024 resolution? [16:56] szal restricted formats [16:58] is there any open source pdf editor? I need to scan a book and upload it [16:59] Hello. [16:59] ImDexter, there are several PDFedit comes to mind http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-pdf-editing-tools-for-ubuntu.html [16:59] What does this mean?: nicholas@ubuntu:~$ fsck [16:59] fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 [16:59] e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) [16:59] Tetracomm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:59] Truncating orphaned inode 1196777 (uid=1000, gid=1000, mode=0100644, size=0) [16:59] Tetracomm: why are you running fsck ? === eiriksvin_ is now known as eiriksvin [17:00] ImDexter, Inkscape also deals with pdf files and can edit them as well [17:00] Because of something weird that happened, but do you know what that means? [17:00] ImDexter: Open Office 3 has some functionality, otherwise check out flpsed and PDFEdit [17:01] Tetracomm: ok - but why are you running it, what made you decide to run fsck [17:01] open poffice is no longer in use in 11.04 [17:01] coz, any recommendation? [17:01] how do I make my spash screen show at 1280x1024 resolution? [17:02] ImDexter: true, but you can still install it... you'll need the PDF extension... otherwise try out one of the other two? [17:02] ikonia: A folder wouldn't show after I renamed it, and then I found it using file search, renamed it, and is showed again, then someone said to do a filesystem check. Is the message I sent you anything to worry about? [17:02] Tetracomm: nothing to worry about at all, however an fsck shouldn't change the problem you've described [17:02] Anyone using ubuntu + gnome 3 ? [17:03] galerien: there is no official gnome3+ubuntu+gnome-shell setup [17:03] I was messing around with compiz and it freaked out and reset a lot of the windowing settings to bare (no titlebar etc) I just noticed that all of my windows are missing the "file edit etc" bar. how do i get that back [17:03] ikonia, I know, that's why I'm carefully considering installing it [17:03] ffffffuuuuuuuu!!!11 [17:03] Tetracomm, please send us your output through http://paste.ubuntu.com as mentioned by the bot [17:04] UBUNTU!!11 y u not run in qemu?? [17:04] cordiceps: ? [17:04] ImDexter: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit/ [17:04] pfifo: --verbose please [17:04] julie: That is all I got, and I only typed fsck. [17:05] ikonia: latest ubuntu with ubiquity or gnome3 whatever does NOT run on qemu. [17:05] Tetracomm: copy paste the error message here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [17:05] Tetracomm, we didn't see the whole output [17:05] cordiceps: it does, [17:06] ikonia: it do not [17:06] cordiceps: I assure you it does, why don't you explain the problem you're having rather than posting random noise to the channel [17:06] I am talking about the latest version. [17:06] cordiceps: so am I [17:06] cordiceps, ikonia is right, please give us the error you're getting [17:07] cordiceps: maybe you need to add more parameters to the qemu command [17:07] hhmph.. lemme find out. maybe I need -vga std [17:08] julie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/623534/ [17:08] Tetracomm: nothing to worry about [17:08] szal, ubuntu cant ship with certan drivers because the not licensed with a free licenst, lame and flac are good examples [17:09] pfifo: and? what's the issue there if I already installed both? [17:09] szal, s/drivers/codecs/ [17:10] szal, youll have to compile flac support into lame, ubuntu cant ship it like that [17:10] ikonia: Ok. Does that mean that something was wrong before I ran fsck? [17:10] Tetracomm: not really no, [17:10] ikonia: Ok. What is an orphaned inode? [17:11] Tetracomm, the fixes made couldn't affect your directory listings but these errors are still a bit abnormal [17:11] Tetracomm: think of it as a pointer to a file that the file no longer exists [17:11] pfifo: sounds to me like a lame excuse (pun intended).. if *buntu can ship both lame and flac separately, it can also ship transcoding capability between those two [17:11] ikonia: ok, which options do you pass qemu? I don't wanna spend all day trialing and erroring. [17:11] cd [17:11] oops [17:12] cordiceps: so you want us to do the job for you, we all learned by trial and error, and by tutorials [17:12] julie: Ok, It is a Wubi setup. I installed it through Windows 7. [17:12] MonkeyDust: exactly. [17:12] Tetracomm: s/through/in/ === D34X is now known as Dommer [17:13] cordiceps: I've not got an ubuntu machine to hand at this moment, apologies, but if you explain the error, I'm sure we can work it out [17:13] hello [17:13] a question how do i uninstall pulseaudio correctly and do i install alsamixer? [17:13] Tetracomm: what's wrong with you? I know how to run a VM, the only problem was ubiquity/gnome3 NOT being able to show up. [17:13] Tetracomm, that doesn't really matter, but do you always shut it down properly or did it perhaps crash recently? [17:13] sudo apt-get install alsamixer doesnt work :( [17:13] Hello Everyone I recently updated pango from source and now my X fails to load due to a libpango1.0-cario error before it finally fully crashed X all my fonts were [][][][]. Anyone have any idea? Tried a bunch of things ppl had put on ubuntu and backtracks forums to no sucess. http://www.pastebin.com/d0Jwpj0e# [17:14] julie: There were a few power outages this week. [17:14] szal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [17:14] hello can anyone help me with pulseuadio and alsamixer? [17:15] Hi! Anyone using VYM? [17:15] Tetracomm, that explains it... I would recommend you do a full disk check with "e2fsck -f device" in recovery mode [17:15] Yami_Bas: try sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio [17:15] just the normal command remove? [17:16] julie: I wonder what device in this Wubi installation is. This is my first Wubi one. [17:16] nvm that thanks ;) [17:16] brown_fern: that page doesn't explain why *buntu can ship lame but not compile FLAC support in [17:16] Hi, How do can I make a program run at boot but using the command line??? [17:17] alright :) [17:17] anyone knows how to install alsamixer? [17:17] Tetracomm, your partition is in /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk [17:17] Yami_Bas: just type alsamixer in a terminal [17:17] i did [17:17] coulnt locate it [17:18] sudo apt-get install alsamixergui [17:18] sudo apt-get install alsamixer Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package alsamixer [17:18] ;c [17:18] Tetracomm, I'm not 100% sure what will get mounted in recovery mode.... you may need to mount your windows partition first [17:18] Hello Everyone I recently updated pango from source and now my X fails to load due to a libpango1.0-cario error before it finally fully crashed X all my fonts were [][][][]. Anyone have any idea? Tried a bunch of things ppl had put on ubuntu and backtracks forums to no sucess. http://www.pastebin.com/d0Jwpj0e# [17:18] i have a problem with the time on an ubuntu server, my problem is, that it's 1 hour to fast, even tho the correct timezone is configured [17:19] Yami_Bas, type in sudo apt-get install alsa, and press tab twice..it lists everything related to "alsa" [17:19] alright thanks :) [17:19] inckie: have you set up a ntp service? [17:19] Thalius: yeah, and tried to force update [17:19] Yami_Bas: it probably is alsa-utils [17:20] or alsa-base [17:20] sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [17:20] Current default time zone: 'Europe/Copenhagen' [17:20] Local time is now: Fri Jun 10 19:14:44 CEST 2011 [17:20] ill give the options in a pastebin [17:20] just a sec [17:20] but thats incorrect, it's 18.14 [17:20] Yami_Bas: the pkg is alsa-utils [17:20] http://pastebin.com/XS6gULFt === linsuxy is now known as mebsd [17:21] inckie: "grep UTC /etc/default/rcS " [17:21] i already have alsa-utils ;/ [17:21] didnt know that lol [17:21] is it standard in ubuntu? [17:21] inckie: it doesnt give a offset as a output when you try to sync? [17:21] Hi, How do can I make a program run at boot but using the command line??? [17:21] * Thalius needs to stop confusing his terminal with his xchat window [17:21] Yami_Bas, Alsa is normally installed. [17:22] alright [17:22] Thalius: no, but i think i have addressed the problem, the time on the hypervisor is wrong [17:22] well i pruged pulseaudio since it's not liking my soundcard... [17:22] so installed alsamixergui [17:22] and i should be good to go? [17:23] julie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/623543/ [17:23] hi everyone, does anyone know a (relatively simple) way to make HDMI audio output work with the Nvidia ION gfx? [17:23] aah, and you had the vm tools sync the time with the hypervisor. Had the same mistake once. [17:23] Possibly..it depends on why your card didnt like pulse. [17:23] r1chm, audio output with graphics? That makes no sense. [17:23] i tried a few suggestions from online but non seemed to work :( [17:23] its creative [17:23] pulse doesnt like creative cards XD [17:23] so i've read [17:23] Thalius: time is correct now hehe, yeah. i configured some NTP servers in esxi now, should'nt have that problem in the future, thx for your time. [17:23] and it didnt support the spdif out on mine... [17:23] so yeah... [17:23] Polah, its a HDMI output. HDMI carries both audio and video? [17:24] i got digital stereo though but it choked on SPDIF [17:24] however ALSA doesnt even detect my USB soundcard... [17:24] i'm trying to net boot my livecd off of an NFS share but on boot i get a permission denied error when trying to mount the share. what do i need to do? i set up the share following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [17:24] maybe a reboot is required? [17:24] cu all [17:24] szal: I just got in here and wasn't around for the entire conversation, but pointing out the general nature of Linux distributions not including built-in support for some key media types was the point of my posting that page. [17:24] r1chm: I wouldn't think a graphics output would be sending audio thought. [17:24] Ah, ok. you can try installing it. try sudo apt-get install alsa-base [17:25] HDMI connects digital audio/video sources [17:25] klown: are you talking to me|? [17:25] Yami_Bas, yes, sorry, ment to highlight [17:25] Polah, im not too sure, the HDMI out in my windows PC does sound & audio i jsut assumed the HDMI out on this ubuntu pc would also [17:25] how can I make a custom script execute with root privileges at boot time?" [17:25] Tetracomm, did you run that with root mounted? and did you restart after? [17:25] because i already did that :( doesn't work (and np ;)) [17:26] brown_fern: the issue at hand is that I installed lame and flac from *buntu installation sources and was wondering why lame won't take FLAC as input format [17:26] drPoO: add it to /etc/rc.local [17:26] Polah, i mean gfx and audio ;-) [17:26] Hello Everyone I recently updated pango from source and now my X fails to load due to a libpango1.0-cario error before it finally fully crashed X all my fonts were [][][][]. Anyone have any idea? Tried a bunch of things ppl had put on ubuntu and backtracks forums to no sucess. http://www.pastebin.com/d0Jwpj0e# [17:26] drPoO: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Autostart_Programs [17:26] hello, guys, how can i make my manual search engine default in chromium 12 in ubuntu 10.10? [17:26] Who let the fogs out ? [17:26] drPoO: nvm, that is for gentoo [17:26] r1chm: Well, if it's a motherboard onboard output it might do, but if it's an output from a GPU it shouldn't have audio. Unless the card is some sort of audio/visual processor since it's for compact laptops (right?) [17:27] r1chm: Do you have a digital audio source hooked up to your video card? I ran into that problem on my machine, but I can't remember if audio pass through is working in linux. Also, another quirk on my system is that I need to change between the sound card output and the built in audio output if I want to send audio over HDMI. This is because of the way I have things hooked up. [17:27] camaleon: ? [17:27] camaleon: did your mom forget to close the window while cooking? ;) [17:27] thnx llutz [17:27] szal: stop it - don't cause a problem [17:27] pse [17:27] anybody? [17:27] r1chm: sorry, didn't realize this was a laptop. I'd hope that it's hookd up from the factory. Mine was a self build so I had to learn a little bit about it in the process. [17:28] the set up is a Shuttle XS35GT with the onboard Nvidia ION GFX, plugged into a HD monitor/TV with HDMI cable. [17:28] not quite a laptop :-) [17:28] einseenai: click right on the address [17:29] r1chm: ok. :) I'd check your manual and see if there's a jumper that needs to be set, or a wire hooked up. I know on my desktop I had to connect my SPDIF/OUT to the video card so that it had a signal to pass through in the first place. After that was done, I just have to be sure to select the output that is connected to the video card when i want to pass audio through. [17:29] How can i run a script/program at startup as ? [17:29] MonkeyDust, already did. i can make any engine default, but not my own. [17:30] hittt_: add it to your user crontab "@reboot ...." [17:30] hey I want to use wget -c to re-download a stopped iso, firefox will download from scratch. Where are mirrors with full path? [17:30] r1chm: make sense? [17:31] !mirrors | cordiceps [17:31] cordiceps: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Natty, and help keeping the servers' load low! [17:31] hmm crontab [17:31] im baffled tbh :( [17:31] i really want SPDIF to work >.< [17:31] ya that will probably work, never thought of it! [17:31] else i still have to use windows for media purpopes >.< [17:31] is this the way myqsld starts as user 'mysql' at startup? [17:32] jevidl, kind of, but i dont understand why the video would work and the audio not when its a HDMI cable carrying both signals... plus the Nvidia ION hdmi output is built in so there is nothing else to plug in.... the only other sound output is a 3.5mm jack plug for normal speakers === ksullivan is now known as Aconek [17:33] r1chm: Are you audio settings configured to use that device and output for output? [17:33] r1chm: you might need to enable the correct audio output when you want to send it over HDMI vs. connected speakers [17:34] oh yes i tried this before hang on let me check (this is the nth install) after switching versions of Ubuntu / FEdora to try and get it working ;-) [17:34] Yami_Bas, have you read over http://alsa.opensrc.org/DigitalOut yet? [17:34] http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story/700/420/Bitcoin_the_Bit-con:_Avoid_the_Bubble,_Stay_High_and_Dry.html [17:34] mebsd , who let the dogs out ? [17:34] !ot | GOP-USA_dotcom [17:34] GOP-USA_dotcom: #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! [17:35] no :( [17:35] klown: will do just a sec :) [17:35] polah & jevidl - this is interesting last time I had an option to select HDMI audio output (i did select it and it still didnt work) however this time it is not an option? [17:35] r1chm: What are you using to configure it? [17:36] i right clicked on sound preferences Polah [17:36] on the hardware tab and output tab [17:36] q [17:36] q [17:36] r1chm: The default pulse settings? Try installing pavucontrol, it might give you some better options. There's also an advanced ALSA configuration tool you could use instead but I can't recall the name. [17:37] klown: one problem though [17:37] alsa doesnt recognise my soundcard... [17:37] :( [17:37] Agent008, And your support question is..? [17:37] ok ill get pavucontrol now and see what it does [17:37] Yami_Bas, Does ubuntu recognize it? [17:37] pulseaudio did [17:38] but it didnt enable me to passthrough spdif [17:38] I ganna take a shower... see you guys [17:38] so i guess ubuntu does too... [17:38] r1chm: If you don't have to configure it, another possibility is that the driver did not load correctly, or the correct driver didn't load. If the enhanced configuration tools don't work, you might want to make sure it's identified correctly and loading the correct modules. [17:39] polah, pavucontrol is pulseaudio volume control? [17:39] r1chm: you do get normal audio from the 3.5mm speaker jack, correct? [17:39] r1chm: Yes. [17:39] jevidl, unfortunatly i am completly new to ubuntu so i dont know how to do that? :-( [17:40] jevidl, 3.5 jack was working last install - havent tried it this install.... [17:40] r1chm: the basic procedure is to identify what module your sound card uses, and then execute "lsmod | grep " and see if it's loaded [17:40] Are there desktops that come preloaded with linux or do I have to get a Windows machine and do it manually?

[17:42] hey, I am sorry but I am NOT seeing the mirrors. [17:42] For my software center (http://hi.baidu.com/feisit/blog/item/847750f4f3e0ee76ddc474de.html) [17:42] rww: Yes, i did, but nobody response. [17:42] rww: I will try #ubuntu-tw [17:42] <_alazar> I've installed apt-build, which architecture should I chose for a Intel i5 2 core (4 virtual) first gen? http://pastebin.com/WHfFL2iA [17:42] camaleon: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not nonsense. Please adjust your output accordingly. [17:42] deepin software center (http://hi.baidu.com/feisit/blog/item/847750f4f3e0ee76ddc474de.html) also can instead Ubuntu's software center. [17:42] sunredsky: I know there's a couple of laptop companies that do Linux distributions, I think Lenovo did. I recall seeing an option for some kind of Linux on iBuyPower perhaps. [17:43] rww: OK [17:43] nonsense makes sences when nothing else matters [17:43] I need a mirror for usa, so I can continue my download. Ubuntu used to list mirrors. [17:43] cordiceps: mirror.anl.gov [17:43] camaleon: Uh huh. Perhaps you should investigate #ubuntu-offtopic instead. [17:44] cordiceps: software centre --> software sources [17:44] cordiceps: there's a mirror list and a speed tester thingy in there [17:44] hypatia: no, a mirror to dowload the install cd, not for packages. [17:44] cordiceps: mirror.anl.gov [17:45] jpds: yeah thanks [17:45] hello people [17:45] Could I ask some qs here? [17:45] about Natty, coz I just upgraded it [17:45] TianChang: You just did, proceed. [17:45] I am working on a project to setup centrally managed public SSH keys. I had hoped to declare multiple files in the AuthorizedKeysFile statement, but this does not appear possible on most linux implementations, and may only be available on OpenBSD. Does anyone know how to use multiple AuthorizedKeysFile's in Ubuntu? [17:45] now lets hope it works :D [17:45] Polah, pulse audio isnt listing my HDMI output... which suggests the driver isnt installed? [17:46] polah: what do most of you guys do to get a machine on your desktop? I have only bought Windows pcs up till now, but I want to try linux. Should I get a used pc? How much should I spend if i just want basic features (mostly command line for development stuff)? [17:46] THank you. I manged to figure out the main problems after upgrading to Natty. But sometimes, my browser or the compiz window just won't respond to my mouse clicks [17:46] jevidl: just put multiple entries in the sshd_config [17:46] r1chm: or that the correct driver does not offer SPDIF support :) [17:46] lovely [17:46] r1chm: It's not detecting the output certainly, if it exists. It could be a driver issue, yes. [17:46] I can see the name of the tab or window changing, but it isn't reacting on my screen as it should be. [17:46] ikonia: I will try that again. I though I tried that, and it only checked the first entry in the config [17:46] Whats the difference between the desktop and server iso found here http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/ is it just a few less apt-get? [17:46] hm, 2nd question, i have Gnome running as the desktop manager, but KDE as the login manager, how can i tell ubuntu to use gdm for the login manager aswell? [17:46] ikonia: give me a few, I'll check that route again [17:46] Polah, i have found another driver in the "hardware drivers" dialog ill try that... [17:47] sunredsky: You can just download the iso and burn it to a disk or install it on a USB drive to try Linux. You can make a new partition on your hard drive and install, there's no need for a whole new system [17:47] so yup. I don't even know what keyword to use for this problem... [17:47] hey guys does 11.04 have the scheduler patch for the desktop boost enabled? I know it has the right kernal 2.6.38. [17:47] Polah, ive lied. it says its already activated :-( [17:47] new2net: yes and server kernel instead of generic [17:47] hittt_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [17:48] gotta reboot [17:48] r1chm, I can't really help you with driver issues. Sorry. [17:48] Polah: ok thanks. I should use ubuntu for that? [17:48] hi [17:48] jrib: I see. Any way to just switch my kernel or will that be messy? [17:48] can anyonr say what is .config file? [17:48] and where can is see it? [17:49] can anyone say what is .config file? [17:49] new2net: just install linux-image-server (and you'll likely want to remove linux-image-generic) [17:49] sunredsky: You can try any Linux distribution you want. Ubuntu would be the easiest for you to use I imagine. You can get the .iso from the Ubuntu website. [17:49] can anyone say what is .config file? where is it located?? [17:49] ramu492: do you mean the ~/.config directory? [17:49] Polah: Thanks a lot :) [17:49] yes [17:50] Polah, im going to get the latest driver from the Nvidia website... how do i tell whether i am using 32 bit or 64 bit linux i cant remember which i downloaded..... [17:50] ramu492: ~ means your HOME, usually /home/username [17:50] okay [17:50] i need to edit .config file? [17:50] what does that mean?

There's thousands of files that could be named as such on your system. [17:52] ramu492, you are going to have to be a little bit more specific.

I typed that into command and it returned "unknown" uname on its own states "linux" [17:53] r1chm: Do uname -a then [17:53] r1chm: I think Polah meant uname -m for architecture [17:53] free bsd [17:53] r1chm: also, it's i686 for 32-bit, and x86-64 for 64-bit === Webio is now known as Nijger [17:53] so, there i got conflict for [17:53] booting [17:53] <_alazar> I've installed apt-build, which architecture should I chose for a Intel i5 2 core (4 virtual) first gen? http://pastebin.com/WHfFL2iA [17:54] great thanks.... 64bit ;-) [17:54] so, it was due to improper kernel compilations [17:54] now, i need to edit [17:54] .config file [17:54] !enter | ramu492 [17:54] ramu492: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[17:57] robin0800: thank you [17:58] i am doing dual boot of freebsd and Crux, after installing, i could load Operatingsystem. there is come conflict in kernel compilation, so i need to edit .config file ..where can i find .config file ?? [17:58] robin0800, i went into alsamixer and it was on "HDA Intel" which ive learned is the analog audio. i pressed F6 and switched to "Nvidia" which is the HDMI however when it changed it said there were no controls for it.... [17:58] HydroAssassin: Check the folder names have the same capitalisation and any underscores/hyphens/whatever [17:58] Anybody out there have cpufrequtils working? [17:59] r1chm: Have you checked if there's an audio control panel that was installed alongside the drivers? [17:59] !repeat | raeven [17:59] raeven: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [18:00] r1chm, think you might need a driver at least we now know why pulse audio had no controls [18:00] Eh... the repeat was accidental - my cat decided to walk across my keyboard [18:00] Polah, i cant see that one has been installed. [18:00] robin0800, ive just downloaded a driver from Nvidia website ill try install that [18:00] the ol' cat on the keyboard excuse..one of my favs. [18:01] klown: Yes, and it just happened to press Ctrl+V and enter in that order, without pressing any other keys along the way [18:01] Are you kidding? This one usually sits in my lap watching my hands as I type and occasionally looks at the screen... [18:01] brb [18:01] Polah, or up arrow and enter :P [18:02] klown: Oh I guess that could work on IRC. [18:02] i need to install this nvidia after closing down x server. I cant remember how to do it can someone enlighten me please? [18:02] Actually, he hit up arrow, the right shift key (which is dirty and doesn't always work) and enter. And left a backslash in my type window. [18:02] Polah, but as you stated, hit no other keys along the way..unless he/she has a premature 1 inch kitten..i dont see it.

Just edit the pool to give out a ip's to certain macs. I can copy paste the config to you if you want [18:23] Yami_Bas, open a terminal , alsamixer -V all , then check your audio again [18:23] I would like to have dhcpd match the address that the real dhcp server is handing out (it is doing the same thing, handing out an address based on MAC) [18:23] That would be awesome Thalius! [18:23] robin0800, i am not sure how to load it though... do you know how? [18:23] BluesKaj: i restored pulseaudio again... [18:23] do i need to uninstall that one first?

[18:24] i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with a intel 3945abg wireless card, but my wireless is not working, can somebody please help me to get it working with ubuntu 11 [18:24] r1chn: .deb is the software package format for debian and ubuntu [18:24] tilleyrw, graphics or just text [18:24] r1chm, does the file end in .deb [18:24] Yami_Bas, then install pavucontrol [18:25] oh its not a file.... i am reading a forum... [18:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617334&page=2 [18:25] BluesKaj: do i still need to do alsamixer -V all then? [18:25] installed pavucontrol lets see [18:25] yes that helps turn everything up on the vol ctrls, Yami_Bas [18:26] alright [18:26] Yami_Bas: Might want to make sure your speakers/headset aren't on full before testing as well. [18:26] pavucontrol works for some but not all [18:27] Unity is bugging! If I move the mouse to the top left corner as usual, it comes forward for like a split second and then it disappears. It does this sometimes. How do I fix it? [18:27] polah i know but i wont blow them :P [18:27] got some sturdy stuff here :) [18:27] Or rather, it stays out when the pointer is in the top corner, then wen i move it unity disappears [18:28] * ElCulebras is away: (Auto-Away after 20 mins) [BX-MsgLog On] [18:28] I wish during my installs I had sound issues..I always get unlucky video/resolution issues. [18:28] r1chm, sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-als-2.6.32-26-generic [18:28] r1chm, which player are you using for media btw ? [18:29] Another question: does anybody know a good stand-alone calender for Ubuntu which supports the gmail calender? [18:30] alright [18:30] im in pavu control [18:30] good question phox_ never thought of that, then I could sync my phone to my desktop. [18:30] but there is no option for digital 5.1 [18:30] just analog 5.1 [18:30] BluesKaj, i think its called Rythm Box [18:30] or digital stereo [18:30] Hi. I've installed ubuntu server 11.04 and webmin. I am trying to set up a web server. Question: do I need anything else for security of the server? Or default install is secure enough? [18:30] robin0800, thanks ill try that now [18:30] klown: You can do it in mail programs like evolution, but I dont like evolution [18:30] !webmin | domnukalu [18:30] domnukalu: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [18:30] i cant sent 5.1 digital over optical i know but how do i enable spdif? [18:31] Does the latest version of Shotwell work in Ubuntu 10.04 [18:31] jrib: any alternatives? [18:31] phox_, I dont use evo. either. Just a gmail notify app. [18:31] Hello. Does anyone here know of a program like PhotoRec, but that retains (or restores, whichever word is more appropriate) filenames? [18:31] can anyone takes this over pm with me? [18:31] because converations gets mingled up ;c [18:31] Mirificus: For Linux, there is none [18:32] Yami_Bas, setup your spfif output in alsamixer , and in my experience the best player for passing 5.1 DD and DTS is VLC , you need to set that upi vlc tools>audio [18:32] domnukalu: ubottu used to mention ebox, not sure why he no longer does [18:32] Mirificus: Mainly because of Linux filesystems [18:32] !ebox [18:32] zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [18:32] spdif [18:32] BluesKaj: i wanne use xbmc XD if possible [18:32] Mirificus: try testdisk [18:32] ah... [18:32] klown: How does that work? Just opens the browser? [18:32] but if i cna get it working within vlc that would be a good start [18:32] i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with a intel 3945abg wireless card, but my wireless is not working, can somebody please help me to get it working with ubuntu 11 [18:32] Theadmin: Ah, oh well. Thank you. [18:32] phox_, yep [18:32] openssh is setup and installed on 11.04 by default right? [18:32] robin0800, that did alot of stuff on the console window... [18:32] Mirificus: Sad, I know :( [18:32] MonkeyDust: I have, it doesn't do quite what I need. [18:33] BluesKaj: alsa mixer doesnt detect my usb soundcard... [18:33] Yami_Bas, I tried xbmc ,,,too clunky , too much like wmp [18:33] r1chm, did you put both of them in? [18:33] yes [18:33] hello does 11.4 of Ubuntu support ATI 6xxxx cards with the fglrx module? [18:34] LekeFly: ssh client is installed, server not [18:34] tortib, yeah, bretty much [18:34] am i able to use the main repo for Ubuntu to install the ATI drivers (system is installing as we speak just wanted to make sure) [18:34] Yami_Bas, if BluesKaj is suggesting that vlc normally has a better chance of working, you should try it, then troubleshoot your media player issues later, after you get sound working..imo of course. [18:34] you can have some problems with 6990 though [18:34] Yami_Bas, sudo gstreamer-properties' (A GUI will open) (After configuring a reboot may be in order) [18:34] as it don't have linux support [18:34] tommis: well i just didn't know if i had to add another repo for the fglrx module [18:34] tommis: i have 3 6950s [18:34] MonkeyDust: When im trying to do "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" i get "has no installation candidate" [18:35] LekeFly: Run sudo apt-get update first [18:35] LekeFly: what ubuntu version? [18:35] anyone have bitcoin? [18:35] i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with a intel 3945abg wireless card, but my wireless is not working, can somebody please help me to get it working with ubuntu 11 [18:35] mrh00d: i do [18:35] xubuntu question: I just install xubuntu yesturday and it says i've already ran out of diskspace on my 30gb drive. I scanned the drive with a disk usage analyzer and iit says that a path called var in my file system is using up 31gb. WTF is this? Can I fix it? [18:36] Unity is bugging! If I move the mouse to the top left corner as usual, but when i move the pointer straigh down it unity disappears. How do i fix this? Can i restart unity? [18:36] alright i selected for audio: alsa and i select for device USB #1 [18:36] rww: oh.. thanks.. MonkeyDust solved it hehe [18:36] drawmeat: Hm, /var can have a lot of different stuff. Can you drill down and see what exactly is using it? [18:37] alright :) [18:37] BluesKaj: does it need to ask for a reboot or just reboot? [18:37] theadmin, it says that a subfolder called log is using 98% of my diskspace. 30.7gb. [18:37] Yami_Bas, well if it doesn't work after the command , reboot [18:38] drawmeat: Wow. You can safely delete /var/log, run this command: sudo rm -rf /var/log/* [18:38] i was testeping the pipeline (idk why :S) and now the GUI jammed... [18:38] hi [18:38] drawmeat: Reboot after doing that [18:38] what's the best to run Ubuntu in a VM? I mean which remote solution to use? I know XDMPC is disabled now :( [18:38] theadmin, any idea how this happened and how to keep it from happening in the future? [18:38] robin0800, would i need to reboot for changes to take effect? [18:38] I want to see the full desktop, not just individual apps [18:39] drawmeat: Well, this folder contains logs of things... I dunno, it does graw with time [18:39] i was testeping the pipeline (idk why :S) and now the GUI jammed... BluesKaj [18:39] drawmeat: If it happens fast again, come back and we'll drill down more [18:39] drawmeat, make sure you have logrotate installed [18:39] tortib, i don't think crossfire is supported on linux [18:39] theadmin, i just installed this kernal yesturday. am i gonna have to keep deleting that over and over every day? [18:39] how do I pack files into an iso so I can burn them to a disk? [18:39] or is it? [18:39] drawmeat: As escott suggested, make sure you have logrotate [18:39] theadmin, okay, thanks for the help [18:40] Could somebody learn me how to install a program? I download "sunbird" from mozilla for linux 64 bits but I have no idea how to isntall it, i would like to know how i works =) [18:40] !info logrotate | drawmeat [18:40] r1chm, can't hurt [18:40] drawmeat: logrotate (source: logrotate): Log rotation utility. In component main, is important. Version 3.7.8-6ubuntu3 (natty), package size 32 kB, installed size 180 kB [18:40] theadmin, total noob here, how do i do that [18:40] drawmeat: sudo apt-get install logrotate [18:40] lol [18:40] theadmin, thanx, ur the best [18:40] eiriksvin, mkisofs [18:40] phox_: for mozilla binaries you can just extract to the home folder and run sunbird [18:40] phox_: No need. Run this command in a terminal: sudo apt-get install sunbird [18:40] eiriksvin, there are also gui tools if you want to use them [18:41] ok will try it [18:41] yes, is it in the repos? [18:41] drawmeat: No I'm not, I just don't mind helping, um, noobs :D Almost anyone would be able to help you here I beleive [18:41] is there something like peerguardian for ubuntu? [18:41] kbrosnan: Ok, ill try that. Can you do that with any program you download? [18:41] i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with a intel 3945abg wireless card, but my wireless is not working, can somebody please help me to get it working with ubuntu 11 [18:42] phox_: depends on the program [18:42] theadmin: It wasnt supported anymore. [18:42] kbrosnan: what if it isnt? [18:42] phox_: Okay, I see [18:42] phox_: what? [18:42] phox_: Most tarballs are source-code, so you have to compile them [18:42] BluesKaj: i really gtg sorry ;c [18:43] but ill c where i can get from here [18:43] atleast ive gotten a few steps further :) [18:43] I've two ubuntu machines between which I'm copying a file. I would like to pin down which side if the network is a bottleneck in the file transfer. How can I figure this out? [18:43] there is nobody who can help with my wireless not working on a fresh installation of ubuntu ? [18:43] Yami_Bas, well try vlc ..it's pretty but it works [18:43] I'm testing X-CD-Roast now [18:43] not pretty [18:43] kbrosnan: hehe sry. But that didnt work! Just wrtinting "sunbird" in terminal after extracting to my home folder [18:43] BluesKaj: i have vlc installed already vlc didnt do the trick either ;c [18:43] theadmin: how would i go about doing that? [18:43] yesterday though [18:43] havent tried it today [18:44] lol, ubuntu not booting with qemu [18:44] phox_: you need to cd to the sunbird folder and then ./sunbird [18:44] kbrosnan: oh, ok [18:44] phox_: There's a songbird folder there, right? Run ~/sunbird/sunbird [18:44] Yami_Bas, it did for me maybe when you come back we can work on it [18:44] alright :) [18:44] pythonirc1011, network bottlenecks can only be evaluated while looking at a full connection, you can't really split it in two [18:44] what timezone do you live? Like +1? [18:44] kbrosnan: thanx, that worked. Why is the ./ necesary? [18:44] or more like +10 or -10 XD [18:44] +5 [18:44] tommis: i'm not using crossfire so that's okay... [18:45] hmm alright [18:45] guess ill c you around then :) [18:45] theadmin: i got it working by kbrosnans tip [18:45] phox_: ./ means "run from current folder" [18:45] phox_: From http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/ "We recommend upgrading to Thunderbird 3 and Lightning 1.0 beta2" [18:45] Yami_Bas, -5 sorry [18:45] not too conflicting timezonse and thanks for all your help :D appreciate it :D [18:45] pythonirc1011, would you care to describe your network setup?

[18:45] help my tre bredband usb stick wont work I am in sweden, and need to get my tre stick to work [18:45] Is it possible in the hosts file to specify a computer that is using dhcp and just use like 192.168.1.* computerfoo? That way it isn't necessary to try and keep up with ip address changes [18:45] Jordan_U: I don't want the whole thunderbird thing. [18:45] BluesKaj: still np:) [18:45] IdleOne: hej [18:45] julie: for some reason speed.net and other reports seem to tell that the speeds are very high, but when i transfer a file, it seems it really crawls...

[18:46] pythonirc1011, how are you transferring those files from one machine to another? [18:46] How do i end the correct "job" in terminal? :p [18:46] mellin: Alternately, why don't you set your router to always assign same IP to same MAC [18:46] does the liveCD run Ubiquity or gnome3 shell?? [18:46] the interface looks regular to me. [18:46] ubuntu__: what makes you think I know the answer? Please ask the channel your question and be patient. :) [18:46] cordiceps: Unity [18:46] Thalius: It is just a local home network. [18:46] phox_: Using a program that never appears to have had a stable release *and* has been abandoned is not a good solution. === ariel_ is now known as Guest64397 [18:47] genii-around: That will work [18:47] cordiceps: Ubiquity is the installer lol [18:47] yeah that's what I meant Unity [18:47] Jordan_U: true dat. Ill try thunderbird. [18:47] melling then use genii-around's solution. [18:47] IdleOne: i have a pay as you go phone and no fixed connection available [18:47] cordiceps: it will run on Unity but fall back to classic GNOME if Unity won't work with the drivers used by the live CD [18:47] mellin, even. [18:47] IdleOne: so its urgent that i get this fixed [18:47] ubuntu__: I still don't know how to help you. [18:48] OK thanks...was wondering if it was possible thats all.

[19:46] jbwiv, you could disable apparmor service temporarily [19:46] mr_bibble, I doubt ufw would affect your internal sound on skype , but I'm no skype freak so I can't be sure [19:46] escott, ok, I'll try that. thanks. i'm really curious what's causing it tho [19:47] jbwiv, apparmor is a security system like selinux, evidently there are some rules that haven't been tested with a reinstall like this [19:47] hi everyone. i run 'sudo fsck -y /dev/sdb1' on a hard disk partition. now the disk properties shows that 900.5GB used and 16.5GB free. but i cant find my folders. is there any way i can recover the files. thank you [19:47] darksifer, check lost+found [19:47] has anybody heard of this problem before? === o0oScoRcHo0o|afk is now known as o0oScoRcHo0o [19:48] Didn't Microsoft recently pruchase Skype? [19:49] sidewinder: yes they did [19:49] purchase, even. [19:49] so that means it doesn't work on linux anymore? [19:49] it should [19:49] thought so; I'll save my negative comments...:-) [19:49] BluesKaj: oh, thanks for the help thought [19:50] although probably not going to be supported for much longer :p [19:50] does it work for you guys? [19:50] @escott. ya i did find them but they are messed up. how can i return them in previous name and order? thank you [19:51] i reinstalled and it didn't help either [19:51] mr_bibble, have you setup alsamixer yet ? [19:51] stupid new nas freezes when a graphic program runs (like xbmc's simple home gui) [19:51] BluesKaj: no i havent [19:51] mr_bibble: I'm not sure that this helps at all but here's the Skype and Firewalls page: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/support/user-guides/firewalls/technical/ [19:52] mr_bibble, well, check out brown_fern 's post then we can look at alsamixer [19:52] if anyone needs a copy of ubuntu PM me [19:53] thnak you [19:55] brown_fern, that site is for windows skype ...didn't see anything about linux there [19:55] http://home.danopia.net/screenshots/laptop/2011/June/10/2011-06-10_14:54:01.png === Supernova|iPod is now known as EyesIsMine|iPod [19:55] new background for now :P [19:56] Do I need: iptables-persistant, nfs-kernel-server, kerneloops, pppd-dns, dns-clean, or acpi-support in my boot? [19:57] i dont know the exact name of the guy who helped me but i got it working!@@ in xbmc [19:57] i love you ;c [19:57] something with mike though XD [19:57] thank you dude :) i gtg again but thanks for all your help :D [19:58] Yami_Bas, did you enable the spdif and turn it up ? :) [19:58] Buekaj: Sorry, I didn't think to take that into account, but the ports that need to be open are the reasons why I listed that page. I have not been following the entire conversation, I hope I wasn't too misleading. [19:58] wtf why did i say mike it was you ;c [19:58] stupid memory [19:58] yes man [19:58] thanks a lot <3 [19:58] brown_fern: thanks for the link. I checked it out and I think I should be fine since outgoing connections are allowed. Only incoming connections are denied [19:58] Yami_Bas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:58] what command did you give me? [19:58] I had to open an interfac [19:58] e [19:59] cause i didnt save it and id like to incase i need it again ;c [19:59] evenin all [19:59] mr_bibble: Well, at least we can rule that out. [20:00] brown_fern: yea BluesKaj I'm ready to try alsamixer [20:00] Hi everybody [20:01] i cant enter the sound interface right now though... [20:01] I have small problem with my ubuntu 10.10 [20:01] or wait nvm im using alsa... [20:01] was trying to enter pulse... [20:02] BluesKaj: do you recall the command where i need to select a mixer and im able to select the audio output device and test the pipeline? [20:02] cooling fan from my notebook (Toshiba L300) after several minutes goes on higher level of speed without purpose [20:02] can somebody help me with that problem? [20:03] Do I need: iptables-persistant, nfs-kernel-server, kerneloops, pppd-dns, dns-clean, or acpi-support in my boot? [20:04] in the terminal alsamixer . Yami_Bas , then make sure your spdif ctrl is turned up , if you have any prefernces in xbmc then you might need to check the digital settings there too [20:05] brown_fern: I would also like to note that I cant even change the sound devices in skype. Only pulseaudio server is available [20:06] BluesKaj: i know but that is not the command that helped me [20:07] the command you gave me was also pretty short but made me choose between ALSA PULSE CCS(or something like that), made me choose between the output device [20:07] and made it possible to test he pipelin [20:07] mr_bibble: I wish that I could help but I don't use skype often enough to work with you on your problem. [20:07] i select ALSA and USB #1 there [20:07] and that made it work [20:08] /me grumbls about skype and pulseaudio ... I don't use pulseaudio with the static version, and the audio works fine [20:08] brown_fern: thats ok [20:09] BluesKaj: can i talk to you over pm for 1 minute? [20:09] Im in ubuntu 11. I have ubuntu server in a virtual machine. I was wondering how I can set a folder to share via bash/cmd line ? [20:09] ok Yami_Bas [20:09] (so it shows up in my ubuntu host) [20:11] rawfodog, the guest-addition sharing goes the other direction from host to guest. you would have to use something like ftp to share a folder from guest to host [20:12] rawfodog: depends on what you use for virtualizing [20:12] k [20:12] vbox. Thing is, my wifi wont pass thru to the guest. I think it's because I made the IP static and changed some stuff in network/interfaces [20:13] So with no internet on my guest I cant apt-get an ftp program [20:13] lol [20:14] rawfodog: use bridging [20:14] wont that knock my host off the network ? [20:14] knock off? [20:14] one sec [20:14] Is there some kind of CPU applet for Unity? [20:15] rawfodog: in network settings for that vm, choose 'attached to' bridged adapter (wlan0 for example) [20:16] k [20:16] rawfodog, oCean you might need to verify that your /etc/resolv.conf has appropriate information as well, if you are using static IP. [20:17] true [20:21] yeah it wont go.

[20:36] Can anyone help me setup dual monitors in unity [20:36] liminal: ahh, sorry :( [20:36] ive done it in 10.10 before without issue, but i have no clue in unity [20:37] is there a way for us that use classic to have our Workspaces get auto-labeled by the programs that are maximized in that workspace?

[20:41] edbian: yeah, i mean, why not, it would be cool to see [20:41] SaraNova: 1.) raid 0 is a bad idea for a root file system 2.) fake raid is a worse idea as it has terrible linux support (why grub can't see it) c.) the mix of the two is very bad [20:43] ikonia: that's comforting, thanks :) Are you saying I should just give up? [20:43] wow, buzzkilled at the first levity [20:43] SaraNova, I am tempted to disagree with ikonia as I've used software-based raid for years on different systems and got really good and reliable results [20:43] SaraNova: I'm saying it's worth considering more supported options and more usable technologies [20:44] i mean when I boot on the livecd, I see all the links (block devices)... not sure when I boot after the install nothing is there anymore (talking about by-uuid directory) [20:44] SaraNova: grub has no kernel to boot, so is not aware of the raid 0 file system [20:45] SaraNova: you need to have /boot on a seperate non-raid 0 partition for example for grub to be able to see it [20:45] true [20:45] :( [20:45] that's a pretty bad news [20:45] SaraNova: however I strongly advise you to look at a.) stable technologies b.) supported technologies [20:46] Linux software raid is actually very stable and well documented but it is indeed unsupported by the ubuntu people [20:46] julie: linux software raid is fully supported by the ubuntu community [20:46] when adding the current user to another group while in a screen session, is it necessary to restart the screen session? any shells created while in screen session the user isn't part of the new group, but ssh sessions (not attached to screen session) do show as in the new group. [20:46] sorry, I said Raid 0... I'm using Raid 1 my apologies [20:46] and is exceptionally stable and not a problem to use [20:46] guess I misunderstood your warning then [20:47] julie: fake raid is not supported and unstable, linux software raid is supported [20:47] SaraNova: ok, so you've removed half the problem then, no /boot is needed, however fakeraid is your problem [20:47] morecheese: you have to restart the X session so I expect screen is the same way [20:47] ikonia, what is fake raid if it julie: it's the motherboard on raid devices that require a software layer [20:47] edbian: figured the same, thx [20:48] julie: as opposed to software raid that is part of the linux kernel [20:48] oh I see [20:48] I'm trying to use ubuntu 11.04 on my virtualbox (windows 7 host) and it keeps defaulting the theme to a basic/ugly theme. I've enabled 3d acceleration what else do i have to do?

I googled a lot but could not find anything helpful [20:49] tase: echo $varible or "env" [20:49] SaraNova: in what respect documents, that tell you what ? [20:49] no in a script, in console [20:50] tase: no-one gave you any information for a script [20:50] tase: echo $variable works in a bash script [20:50] ikonia: explain how to dig a little more in the fakeraid issue (basically what i'm facing) [20:50] i just dont know what to do right now :) [20:50] SaraNova: it's an unsupported technology that has poor results in linux - what do you want to research [20:50] tase: sorry, echo $variable works in the console [20:50] SaraNova: have you considering software raid ? [20:50] oic ty [20:50] tase: It works in both [20:51] sure [20:51] ikonia: i guess i could indeed [20:51] when you said $variable I though you meant in a script [20:51] software raid is fail [20:51] hi [20:51] to bad this won't work rm ~/irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu/unnecessarily_police_like_people <-and thats my last funny of the day [20:51] is kde 4.6.3 available for maverick ?

[21:25] folke, don't worry about that for now, just show me your "route" output with everything connected as you would like it [21:26] edbian_: know off hand what's supposed to be in there? otherwise i'll go look it up. [21:26] somebody knows anything about how to fix this shit error "config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'" in anjuta known from year 2004 on google [21:26] domnukalu: just use ssh to admin it [21:26] i'm here [21:26] sorry [21:26] phoenixkc: It should work without it there [21:26] phoenixkc: sudo ifup wlan0 ? [21:27] really? i had similar trouble with a ralink chip and i had to have something in there. [21:27] phoenixkc: you could but auto wlan0 but you do NOT need anything in there. === improveupon is now known as wirrr [21:27] you could put* [21:27] phoenixkc: sudo ifup wlan0 [21:28] edbian_: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. [21:28] phoenixkc: mmmm that's cause it isn't in there. What exact wording do you get from sudo iwlist scan ? [21:28] HAL9000_: anjuta 2.32 is in the official repos? is this not what you need? [21:29] ActionParsnip: I'm a newbie, that's why I was searching for a more "english" aproach. [21:29] http://pastebin.com/tB0MQZSx [21:29] edbian_: [21:29] sudo iwlist scan [21:29] lo Interface doesn't support scanning. [21:29] phoenixkc: don't do that! [21:29] eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. [21:29] phoenixkc: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:29] phoenixkc: oh god [21:29] eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning. [21:29] julie: http://pastebin.com/tB0MQZSx [21:29] wlan0 No scan results [21:29] domnukalu: well what do you want to admin a website to achieve, all you can really do is staop and start the service, which you can do in SSH, you can upload new content using SCP via SSH [21:30] whoa. sorry. didn't ever do that before. [21:30] phoenixkc: that's ok. use this: paste.ubuntu.com [21:30] phoenixkc: It says 'no scan results' ? [21:30] folke, exactly what I thought, the default route is on the wlan [21:31] ActionParsnip, i have current version [21:31] guys wtf i just updated 2.6.32-32 from ubuntu and now emulate-middle-click is enabled WTF [21:31] HAL9000_: i see [21:31] folke, to simplify the next step, could I see your route output when wlan is disconnected? [21:31] edbian_: yes [21:31] phoenixkc: That means it scanned and didn't find any networks. You're sure that your router broadcasts the essid and you're within range? [21:32] #backtrack-linux at irc.freenode.org [21:32] how do i disable emulate middle click? [21:32] edbian_: phone is sitting right next to it and had full signal. worked fine in lucid. [21:33] julie: http://pastebin.com/iQ3d96ZU [21:33] looks like /etc/hal/fdi/policy might help [21:33] Hey all, I'm looking for that app to make thunderbird show up in the messaging menu. [21:33] phoenixkc: mmm, we'll try fudging around with some cli commands. Then I think we should try a different driver. (we're testing bcm43xx or b43 driver right now) [21:34] phoenixkc: It's possible the driver is controlling the device but that the driver is incomplete === jakemp|sleep is now known as jakemp [21:34] phoenixkc: sounds good? [21:34] Emanon: like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/442/is-there-a-way-to-add-mozilla-thunderbird-to-the-messaging-menu [21:34] hello [21:34] edbian_: yup. i've tried using a couple versions of the STA but let's walk though it again. maybe i missed something. [21:34] ahh thanks ActionParsnip [21:34] edbian_: where to next? [21:35] phoenixkc: fudging around with CLI stuff to try to get b43 working. [21:35] Emanon: all I did was websearch.... [21:35] phoenixkc: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [21:35] I couldn't find the right one. [21:35] Kept finding ones that talked about it without providing a source. [21:35] Didn't know it was an xpi thought it was a deb too. [21:36] edbian_: done [21:36] Emanon: there is no 'right one', there are just options [21:36] phoenixkc: sudo iwlist scan (just give me a summary of what it says, don't copy / paste!) [21:36] folke, reconnect the wlan, and try the following command: "route del default; route add default gw 10.64.64.64" [21:37] folke, then try pinging 8.8.8.8 [21:37] edbian_: wlan0 interface doesn't support scanning : network is down [21:37] phoenixkc: Which is different than the last time. Last time it said 'no results' correct? [21:37] whew! avoided the wrath of the floodbot [21:37] edbian_: correct [21:37] phoenixkc: ha, :) This means that the card is not turned on (in software) [21:37] phoenixkc: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up (this turns it back on) [21:37] julie: oki! Just one question- [21:38] folke, yes? === mike is now known as Guest37064 [21:38] edbian_: no scan results [21:38] julie: The ip of the 3G is different everytime I make a new connection [21:38] julie: How will this affect the routing? [21:38] phoenixkc: ok. So it's clear that the card is 'on' but it doesn't see wifi networks. I found a very promising how to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA%20-%20Internet%20access [21:38] phoenixkc: it suggests we need the STA driver for you card (bcm4321) [21:38] folke, we'll try to address that once we get you up [21:39] friends [21:39] phoenixkc: You can follow along but I'm just going to give you the bare-bones commands you need to run. Sounds good? (we're now going to try to use the sta driver instead of the b43 driver) [21:39] * tmg just back from void [21:39] so: anyone know any way to get a 'terratec h5' usb tv tuner working in linux? :p [21:39] aha nice! I will try this....see you in 5 :-) [21:39] edbian_: agreed. read it before and tried what it says. but like i said, lets take it from the top and try it again. maybe i missed something. [21:40] phoenixkc: excellent. [21:40] edbian_: you got it. ready for commands. [21:40] thedeaths: sure, use google and follow [21:40] phoenixkc: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [21:40] tmg: have you even tried? :p [21:40] 99% of the links are topics saying there's no driver [21:40] and the other 1% are fake results [21:40] thedeaths: well if i had such hardware i would ;] [21:41] Hi, my wireless isn't working i can get on to the Internet using ethernet. Its a Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) i got this from lspci command in terminal. [21:41] Has anyone ever tried to record data from something like netcat or socat and then "play it back" later [21:41] edbian_: already at the newest version. should be 5.100.something [21:41] phoenixkc: ok great. sudo modprobe -r b43 (this removes the b43 driver from the kernel. It's like uninstalling a driver in windows) [21:42] someone know how to start phpmyadmin ? [21:42] davidhel1234567: can you give a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; rfkill list thanks [21:42] julie: The routing is done [21:42] edbian_: done [21:42] folke, can you now ping 8.8.8.8? [21:42] davidhel1234567: I have the same adapter. Mine works just fine. Can you connect to the local network using wifi and ping other computers on the local network? [21:42] phoenixkc: and finally sudo modprobe sta (I'm guessing the name there). This is like installing the driver. It is akin to the System -> admin -> hardware / additional drivers gui nonsense [21:42] pokoko222: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin [21:42] Julie: No [21:43] folke, route output please? [21:43] edbian_: i think the name should be wl [21:43] thedeaths: so maybe you have to try some old version drivers, i mean test them on old kernel which support them and then go back to current one and port old ones - if these works of course.. - anyway it is advice for someone who knows what is C and kernel ;] [21:43] phoenixkc: now we can confirm which driver is being used by looking at the output of sudo lspci -k (we should see STA is in use and not b43) [21:43] julie: sorry! [21:43] phoenixkc: That's possible. Did sta error out or... ? [21:43] julie: yes!! [21:43] folke, try to ping google.com then [21:43] phoenixkc: The tutorial says wl!!! :P [21:43] I'm a dork [21:43] phoenixkc: I guessed at the name. [21:43] ActionParsnip, any experience with SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) and "unclaimed" after an upgrade to natty [21:44] julie: np [21:44] edbian_: i've been at this for a few days. so don't feel bad. [21:44] phoenixkc: you should run there command in step 3 there. sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl [21:44] Julie: It works [21:44] phoenixkc: :) [21:44] good! [21:44] phoenixkc: sudo modprobe wl [21:44] phoenixkc, you can use lsmod to see which driver is loaded [21:44] hi guys, im trying to install vumeter for xmms, but after ./configure it says GTK+ >= 1.2.10 not installed [21:44] their* command [21:44] hi viewing flash in ff had occasionally crash ubuntu10.04 how to fix? [21:44] phoenixkc: what questions do you have? [21:44] folke, so your PPP IP changes each time you reconnect? [21:44] i cannot access anything on wireless. it dosen't show my networks either [21:44] someone please tell me - how to retrieve wifi signal using command prompt in ternminal [21:45] xen: sudo iwlist scan [21:45] julie: yes [21:45] it crashes ubuntu10.04 that mouse and keyboard doesnt work just like how it is freezing in windows95 [21:45] davidhel1234567: what card do you have? [21:45] mongy: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [21:45] i always get this error - "/home/xen/trunk/cosmos/examples/helloworld-juliac/src/main/java" [21:45] sorry [21:46] xen: What does this have to do with wireless? [21:46] i always get this error - boxnet0 Interface doesn't support scanning. [21:46] edbian_: similar to what i had before with b43. wl is using 1 module but nothing is using it. [21:46] folke, I'm trying to come up with the simplest solution for you.... you could probably do a small shell script that extracts the IP address and calls the same commands I gave you with the new IP [21:46] phoenixkc: How do you know that? [21:46] kelvinella: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [21:46] that was me copying and pasting the wrong stuff [21:46] xen: ha, ok [21:46] ActionParsnip, wait [21:46] Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [21:46] vboxnet0 Interface doesn't support scanning. [21:47] this is the error i got [21:47] xen: If you have a virtual machine. The VM does not have a wifi card. [21:47] edbian_: piped the output of lsmod to grep searching for b43|wl|ssb [21:47] phoenixkc: ok good. [21:47] phoenixkc: that's even better than lspci -k :) [21:47] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/JiakXrM0 [21:47] phoenixkc: sudo iwlist scan ? [21:47] aha [21:47] (my favorite command) [21:47] xen: yep [21:47] m not using a virtual maching [21:48] ok fine [21:48] edbian_: no scan results [21:48] tell me one more thing [21:48] kelvinella: that's a real mess. [21:48] ActionParsnip, yeah hang, its a friends [21:48] ActionParsnip, it has been crashed 3 times now [21:48] hi guys, im trying to install vumeter for xmms, but after ./configure it says GTK+ >= 1.2.10 not installed [21:48] provided a given SSID - hw do i connect to it from commandline? [21:48] but i have it installed! [21:48] phoenixkc: So that's 2 drivers now that are 'working' but cannot find any wireless networks. I'm not sure what to do at this point. [21:48] i have about 20 tabs open in ff, and i have computer and ff on for like 2 weeks, is it the cause? [21:48] kelvinella: run: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree [21:49] edbian_: okay. at least i'm not crazy [21:49] phoenixkc: You're not crazy. Try restarting the machine. Sometimes that does magical things. [21:49] why real mess? [21:49] ActionParsnip, why real mess? [21:49] kelvinella: you have adobe-flashplugin installed which may cause issue as well as residual config from flashplugin-nonfree which will only complicate stuff [21:49] julie: Okay sound like an good idee [21:49] phoenixkc: I think something is up that your wifi network is not visible. [21:50] kelvinella: the comamand I gave will strip it all out, then install the one plugin you need [21:50] edbian_: when i restart the machine, with any of the drivers installed, i have to modprobe when i get back because it won't load on it's own. is that correct behavior? [21:50] adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-nonfree? [21:50] phoenixkc: No absolutely not. [21:50] how to start mysql? [21:50] phoenixkc: I'm guessing that means the system didn't identify any hardware that uses those modules [21:50] hi there, for some reason the flash player on my system is crashing _extremely_ often. is there something i can do about it? [21:51] edbian_: okay. now we're getting somewhere [21:51] phoenixkc: I suppose. Hahaha, we're learning there aren't any drivers that work! :P [21:51] edbian_: like i said, nothing is using the module so says lsmod [21:51] ActionParsnip, do i execute sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree in one line? [21:51] kelvinella: I suggest (if it doesn't work), grab the tar.gz file and extract the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins as you appear to only have 10.0.1 and you should be using 10.3 [21:51] phoenixkc: which is bad. You should get something like pcmcia_core is using b43 or is using wl [21:51] ActionParsnip, or should i do them seperately? [21:52] kelvinella: yes, it's all one line [21:52] kelvinella: no, tht's why I give them that way [21:52] should i close ff when i am doing that ActionParsnip ? [21:52] ActionParsnip: what's with adobe-flashplugin package¿ [21:53] wrong [21:53] anyone know how to completely remove the top, and bottom bar in 11.04 to replace with AWM?

[21:53] klown: you can simply remove one of the panels in the right click menu [21:53] ActionParsnip, thanks, but I need to remove both [21:54] ActionParsnip: so it's besto to install flashplugin-nonfree instead of adobe-flashplugin package} [21:54] ¿ [21:54] ActionParsnip, Correction, I'd *like* to remove both [21:54] klown: there is an option in gconf editor to make certain apps always run, the default is gnome-panel, change it to avant-window-navigator (or whatever the command is) [21:54] !hcl | Trfsrfr [21:54] Trfsrfr: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:54] xangua: its been packaged and handled to work with Ubuntu, its advised to use it [21:54] ActionParsnip, i run the command u gave me, so every done now?

You have a BCM4321 so it is totally different story. Additionally, there is no bug with 4311. I personally have it working on the past 3 ubuntu releases. You install firmware-b43-install and b43-fwcutter and restart and it works. === funnylookinhat is now known as FunnyLookinhat === FunnyLookinhat is now known as FunnyLookinHat [21:55] folke, have you ever done a shell script before? [21:55] How do I read things printed to stdout but have closed the terminal window? [21:56] phoenixkc: One last guess. Do you know the name of the wifi network? Do you need a password? [21:56] davidhel1234567: did you disable your wireless card in the bios? [21:56] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/EnvMTZr1 looks ok now? [21:56] can anyone tell me what is apr-devel? [21:57] edbian_: yes but they seem to be using the STA driver. so i've also tried rolling back to the 5.60 driver that was in lucid and maverick and it does not work either. just thought it might be a similar problem. [21:57] edbian_: yes and no [21:57] rationalOrge: i didn't myself unless it changed when i installed ubuntu [21:58] edbian_: tried finding hidden network in network-manager. no go. [21:58] kelvinella: looks a lot better [21:58] davidhel1234567: Ok, well both the hw killswitch and the sofware killswitch appear to be active on your wifi. [21:58] ActionParsnip, thx [21:58] phoenixkc: It might be related. I suggest you make new bug post on launchpad. The more thorough the better. Be very clear that you are using bcm4321 and the output of commands like lsmod | grep b43/wl and sudo iwlist scan [21:58] davidhel1234567: there is a native driver for that chip, why use ndiswrapper? [21:58] phoenixkc: you can connect to a wifi network if you run sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid [name] key [wifi key] [21:58] ActionParsnip, why do i have adobe-flash before? i didnt remembered installing that [21:59] phoenixkc: oh, and dmesg which reports all things came up fine for b43 [21:59] ActionParsnip: I tried that after the wireless wasn't working the first time assuming it was the driver [21:59] davidhel1234567: you're on a laptop, correct? [22:00] edbian_: SET failed on device wlan0 ; no such device [22:00] phoenixkc: sudo ifconfig -a does it list wlan0 ? [22:00] rationalOgre: yes, i have a switch to turn it on but the light dosn't change when i push it [22:00] Theres no law against hitting servers with SSH requests, as long as your not obviously trying to/don't crack the box, right? [22:00] Evildaemon: you cannot, gone is gone [22:01] davidhel1234567: flip the switch then run that last command ActionParsnip gave you. [22:01] Can anyone tell me please what is apr-devel? [22:01] davidhel1234567: look online, there are tonnes of guides for it [22:01] davidhel1234567: that should turn off the hardware killswitch. [22:01] guntbert, what I thought [22:01] kelvinella: not sure, is it ok now? [22:01] puneet: development done in april [22:01] edbian_: hmmm...not anymore. i think the b43 driver called it that. STA calls it eth2 [22:01] Evildaemon: your second quiestion has nothing to di with ubuntu support [22:01] rationalOrge: ok ill try that hang on [22:02] *do [22:02] phoenixkc: eth2 is WRONG. I think the b43 driver is closer to working. However I think both are broken. Clearly STA is broken [22:02] davidhel1234567: are you talking about a physical switch on the machine or a function key combo to shut off wifi? [22:02] Okay. Just asking. [22:02] edbian_: agreed [22:02] edbian_: do it has some special meaning? [22:02] ActionParsnip, i dont know, because my computer wont crash unless i have watched many flash video for a long time [22:03] edbian_:or some special purpose? [22:03] rationalOrge: i pressed it and the hard blocked said no now [22:03] ActionParsnip, now i am watch some youtube and justin.tv, it looks ok. if there is any problem later on, i msg you [22:03] hey someone please help me... i have the ESSID for a wifi and i wont connect to it using command line... someone please advice...

[22:13] folke, I thought you had told me you were able to ping google? [22:14] sysop-work, then say what you do need to do, we cannot read minds [22:14] sysop-work: ? That's how you echo something [22:14] ok I need to have a script to write something to the current tty from a bash script. normally I would use the echo command to do that. [22:15] julie: Yes i was, but it doesent work anyway....ive tried with the new ip I got after connecting once agin to the 3G [22:15] I want to have a bash script that I send to the background and have it write to the current tty when a time limit is up. [22:15] davidhel1234567: try this "sudo rfkill unblock 0" [22:16] folke, so if now your wireless is connected, try again to ping google.com and then tell me what happens when you try to access the Internet [22:16] julie: ok [22:16] video download helper doesn't seem to work for creativelive website, so thats why i want something that works that can capture from whatevers on the desktop [22:16] rationalOrge: it removed the blocks [22:16] I used to be able to do to echo "some text">/dev/freebsdtty1 (sorry cant ememeber the format) and it would print to the current tty as long as I got the tty right [22:16] davidhel1234567: Ok, so did you blacklist the normal driver for your wireless card? [22:16] dijonyummy123, not one tool can do it all. that works for the majority of sites though [22:16] sysop-work: http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/76660-send-console-message-all-users-tty.html [22:17] sysop-work: normally a backgrounded script will send STDOUT to current tty, so any echo would do [22:17] rationalOrge: i orginally did but removed them now [22:17] davidhel1234567: should be b44 [22:17] I think [22:17] ocean that is helpfull, but I kinda wanted it to go to all users. [22:17] davidhel1234567: so do a sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper [22:17] and sudo modprobe b44 [22:17] sysop-work, that would work if it was your current tty, I just tested it here [22:17] * Scunizi hates it when a .trash file is created on removable media.. [22:17] ActionParsnip, looking at your link thanks [22:18] and try wireless [22:18] edbian_, hey i executed the cmd u told me... it executed well... but wen i give the cmd dhclient wlan0.. it takes a lot of time to execute and then results into nothing... please helpp [22:18] sysop-work: all users are not on one single tty right? [22:18] yep [22:18] rationalOrge: k i typed it but its taking a long time [22:18] xen: the network shows up in sudo iwlist scan correct? [22:19] sysop-work: ok, i still don't understand the question [22:19] I can show you the code I used to use in bsd. but like I said I know I am tty5 and when I echo text>/dev/tty5 I get permission denied [22:19] xen: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/14/connect-to-a-wireless-network-via-command-line/ [22:19] julie: Im back and now It works :) [22:20] so why cant I write directly to /dev/tty5 even as root? [22:20] folke, just apply the same steps each time [22:20] edbian_, thnxx for the link buddy.. going through it now... [22:20] julie: okay, byt isent it possible to make it permanent och auto? [22:20] and ActionParsnip wall is not what I am looking for. [22:20] I have apache web server running on ubuntu can anyone tell me if this is secure [22:20] sysop-work, that was a security issue I agree with [22:20] or send me a pm to explain somethings [22:21] i want to see, when I open my main folder, 7 tabs of predetermined, by me, directories, can that be done? [22:21] davidhel1234567: It come up? [22:21] xen: sure [22:21] Hello, I was wondering, is getting Gnome 3 running on Ubuntu through the PPA repositories the best way, or is there a better way? [22:21] julie, so linux prevents you from writing to a tty directly even as root? [22:21] everytime I plug in an external HD ubuntu opens a new window, I want it to open a new tab, can that be done? [22:21] julie, I was afraid of that but couldnt find a straight answer anywhere [22:22] rationalOrge: it still working, and i still can't see my networks [22:22] sysop-work, it's not a generalized limitation as I can on another installation [22:22] davidhel1234567: You may need to reboot. Which command is it hanging on? modprobe -r ndiswrapper or modprobe b44? [22:22] sysop-work: there's also the 'write' command, but I think it requires username [22:23] sysop-work: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/233/write-a-message-to-login-users-through-terminal/ [22:23] folke, if you disconnect both connections and connect wireless first, then ppp, does it work on its own? [22:23] rationalOrge: the modprobe -r ndiswrapper [22:23] julie: Ill check [22:24] a === sven_ is now known as nibbier [22:25] Test please respond if you can read this [22:25] any op to remove TeoAndTea[Com] for spam? [22:25] Dxtezt, I can read it [22:25] !test | Dxtezt [22:25] Dxtezt: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [22:25] davidhel1234567: well, blacklist ndiswrapper and then reboot [22:26] Thanks [22:26] rationalOrge: ok [22:26] ubottu, dxtezt need some attention, um? [22:26] Maylow: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:27] :) [22:27] Maylow: I'm having that to, IdleOne ? [22:27] hi, the speakers stopped to work suddenly in my eeepc1000he with ubuntu 11.04. from alsa mixer everything seems to be right. someone can help me? [22:27] DasEi, what's that what you have? [22:28] valeria: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then wait a few seconds then retry a sound app [22:28] valeria, can you test earphones? [22:28] julie, yes, i'm going to do it [22:28] julie, anyway the speakers work on windows [22:28] Maylow: that wierd spam-pm, is why I asked an o*p, if not busy === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [22:29] valeria, in this case you should try what ActionParsnip just said [22:29] DasEi, yes, it's annoying [22:29] and inappropreate [22:29] free walpapers... [22:29] julie, ? [22:29] valeria, 10 lines above [22:29] julie, ok [22:31] did anyone use virtualbox with ubuntu host - ext4, win xp guest - ntfs and shared folders? [22:31] I mean - flawlessly [22:31] Maylow: yes [22:32] I bought a computer having 4 GB RAM. I would like to know how much hard disk space should I allocate to a swap partition? I intend to hibernate this laptop computer when need arises. [22:32] DasEi, I have a weird problem - occasionally cannot overwrite files in shared folders [22:32] julie, doesn't work [22:32] Maylow: wrong channel here, but the FAQ on vb's homepage explain it very well, also there is #vbox [22:32] ActionParsnip, doesn't work [22:33] julie: It doesent work :( I have to use the sudo route add default gw command [22:33] DasEi, #vbox sounds nice, I'll try it, 10x [22:33] bullgard4: 8 g should be fine [22:33] quit [22:33] DasEi: Thank you. [22:33] DasEi, but since only few people are taking here, if you have any experience with this issue, you may share [22:33] folke, that is a bit strange but as I mentioned earlier you could make a simple script for it [22:34] i added my user to /etc/sudoers with the NOPASSWD: ALL directive and it's still asking for my password one time when i type sudo, how can i have it not ask for a password at all? [22:34] tortib, thats a very bad idea [22:34] i don't care if it's a "bad idea" [22:34] it works on every other distro except ubuntu [22:34] folke, are you familiar with shell scripts? [22:34] tortib, and not supported, so please dont ask for help with it here [22:35] Maylow: I had no problems with it, following the setting up from their FAQ's; apart from it I mostly use ssh (rsync,scp), more flexible than shares [22:35] not SUPPORTED? [22:35] bwahahahahha [22:35] tortib, correct [22:35] bazhang: someone should be able to let sudo do what THEY Please [22:35] not let the distro decide [22:35] tortib: they can but we won't help you achieve it in here [22:36] * julie nods [22:36] tortib, sure. but dont ask for help here [22:36] DasEi, is it possible that way to mount an ubuntu folder as a windows drive transparently? [22:36] so i have to figure out what they did to cause this type of behavior to resolve it [22:36] or not use the distro [22:36] I'm running an ssh server on natty and I cannot connect to my own computer within my own network [22:36] i know i'm not the only one that wants this [22:36] as you wish tortib [22:36] i'm sure someone in here has set it up the way i'm talking about === niko is now known as evilNiko [22:36] when I type: ssh username@192.168.1.101 [22:36] Maylow: y, I'll pm you [22:36] it gives me no route to host [22:36] tortib, if they have or not, its not supported. please stop asking [22:36] tortib: sure but it significantly reduces system security [22:37] tortib, I even have a much simpler solution but unfortunately it's not supported here :P [22:37] anyone here setup sudo with the NOPASSWD: ALL directive and have it not ask for the password? [22:37] yes [22:37] kick him someone please [22:37] tortib, please stop asking. [22:37] stop telling me what i can say and not say [22:37] tortib Yes, why would you want that? [22:37] i'm not being insulting i want to get this done [22:37] doomrobo: how did you do it? [22:37] is there no op here? [22:38] i added my user to /etc/sudoers but it did nothing. [22:38] nope [22:38] is there another config? [22:38] no [22:38] that's it [22:38] but you need the right syntax [22:38] !ot tortib [22:38] oh i see I missed the :ALL [22:38] ALL:ALL [22:38] NOPASSWD ALL:ALL [22:39] !ot|tortib [22:39] tortib: #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! [22:39] with your username [22:39] this is ubuntu related. [22:39] 11.04 is a joke [22:39] tortib, please stop. [22:39] bazhang: get a life. [22:39] null___, then dont use it [22:39] how does the ubuntu corporation have all that money and all these bugs? [22:39] does anyone know if natty comes with a firewall of some sort? [22:39] this is the problem with a restricted channel and no op!!! [22:39] because it's acting that way [22:39] bazhang: i already installed it and spent days setting it up [22:39] doomrobo, iptables [22:39] doomrobo, nfw [22:40] then decided to hook up my speakers and run into absurd audio bugs [22:40] null___: there is no ubuntu corp and this is not #ubuntu the complain channel [22:40] xangua - agree [22:40] s/ubuntu corporation/canolical ltd [22:40] julie so what do you think is refusing my incoming ssh connections, iptables is allowing all traffic [22:40] doomrobo: ufw, but can easily disable it === danslo is now known as CrAsHOVerRide [22:40] doomrobo, check "nfw status" to see if it's active [22:41] ok [22:41] hapo haop [22:41] doomrobo: You can test: ssh localhost [22:41] julie Inactive but I figured out the problem [22:41] which is? [22:41] I was forwarding to the wrong ip! [22:41] thank you [22:41] anyway [22:42] how can I reinstall audio drivers? [22:42] julie: Do you know any good place to find info howto make a script? [22:42] valeria: Why do you need to reinstall them? [22:42] I can help folke [22:42] Julie: Thanks for all the help!! [22:43] offtopic: localhost is an anagram of holocaust [22:43] usr13, because my audio suddenly stopped work, the settings from alsamixer seem ok, and on windows the speakers work [22:43] Juli: it is very uppskattat === CrAsHOVerRide is now known as danslo [22:44] MonkeyDust no u [22:44] edbian_, hey, i followed everything as mentioned in the guide that u mentioned.... But it doesnt seem to be working for me... plzz check out this log... http://paste.ubuntu.com/623778/ [22:44] valeria: Something must have happened to have made it stop working. Does alsamixer show the various channel levels high enough to produce audiable sound? [22:44] how to I untar to another directory than the tarball? [22:45] Hi, is there anyone experienced with Bluefish ? [22:45] valeria: You can test: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp #Ctrl-c to stop. [22:46] valeria: See if you get error? (Or sound). [22:46] usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/623721/ [22:46] folke, create a new file in your home folder with: -cut here- export gw=`route|grep "10\."|cut -f1 -d' '` -cut here- and then the commands I gave you earlier with $gw instead of the IP [22:46] someone please help me out... i need to connect to a wifi using command line... here's a complete detail abt wats happening around me...http://paste.ubuntu.com/623778/ [22:47] usr13, dev/urandom? [22:47] valeria: lspci | pastebinit [22:48] valeria: yes, that is correct [22:48] xen: you can use wicd-curses as a nice curses GUI network manager === rich__ is now known as rich [22:49] usr13, but the command writes on /dev/dsp, why? [22:49] valeria: To create sound. [22:49] usr13: /dev/dsp might not be present on systems with pulseaudio installed.. [22:49] usr13, uses pseudo casual input to generate audio output? [22:50] julie: Thanks! I will try this :-) [22:50] soreau: Well, yea, I suppose so. That is unfortunate. (I usually remove pulseaudio - and that may be the problem here as well.) [22:50] usr13, access denied [22:50] you must surely call that noise usr13, valeria [22:50] julie, :D [22:51] ActionParsnip, thnxx for ur advice... but its like am working on a project and i desperately wont to connect to a wifi using the command line itself... my program is based on java which involves scanning all the wifi connections available around me and then try to establish a connection with the best available one... scanning for the best available wifi is done... but connecting with the one is something which i need help on.. [22:51] valeria: I see... Well, check to see if your user name is in group audio in /etc/group [22:51] ok [22:51] valeria: Is this the original user on your Ubuntu system? [22:51] I'm trying to write a for loop that untars all tarballs in a directory in bash, anyone know bash enough to help?

[22:53] Metroshica, "tar -xvf `ls *.tar`" should be close [22:53] usr13, ok, which is the command [22:53] valeria: What do you mean you can't tell me? (You just did :) [22:53] usr13, to add me to that group [22:53] ActionParsnip, i followed everything as mentioned in the link... but it doesnt seem to work for me,,, here is the log details...http://paste.ubuntu.com/623778/ [22:53] usr13, when [22:53] how can i install .run file [22:53] valeria: I usually just edit the file. vim /etc/group [22:53] elks294: what file? [22:54] elks294: nvidia driver ? [22:54] usr13, ok, if that isa command that do this automatically I prefer to use it [22:54] (the answer is probably "run it". possibly as root... but there may well be a package you should be using instead) [22:54] elks294, prefixing it by "bash" should do it but this is unsupported [22:54] xen: is there no security on the connection? [22:55] valeria: Just edit the file and put your name on that line. [22:55] sudo vim /etc/group [22:55] usr13, beside audio? [22:55] yes [22:55] ActionParsnip, nope... i am actually using an open connection for testing purpose [22:56] ActionParsnip, it doesnt seem to work for that too [22:56] usr13, which separator have I to use, thereis already an entry === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [22:57] i can't burn ubuntu's iso in a cd nor in a usb..I don't know why , but even if i write the ubuntu 11.04 iso with k3b even with brasero , the disc is empty.What can i do ? [22:57] SkotosDeath: Did you check the md5sum of the image you downloaded? [22:58] SkotosDeath, is it just the Ubuntu ISO? If so, you possibly have a corrupt copy of it. Check md5sum of it. [22:58] !md5sum [22:58] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:58] i downloaded the iso from ubuntu site [22:58] xen: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-a-Wireless-Network-in-Linux-Via-the-Command-Line check step 2 commands [22:58] SkotosDeath: Did you check the md5sum though? [22:59] no [22:59] SkotosDeath: You should probably do that first [22:59] SkotosDeath, doesn't mean it's not corrupt. Download could have stopped at some point. Run md5sum on it and compare the value you get to the values here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [22:59] usr13, done === Prodego is now known as elapse [22:59] i need to establish a wifi connection using command line... someone please advice.. i have tried using the iwconfig commands... but it dhclient wlan0 doesnt return any ip address for me... here is the complete log...http://paste.ubuntu.com/623778/ [23:00] xen: Did you stop networkmanager service first? [23:00] xen: I'm not too good at wireless, but you followed ubott'.. link already ? [23:01] wireless > xen [23:01] DasEi, yea [23:01] soreau, how do i do tat? [23:01] xen: Can you pastebin the output of 'iwconfig'? [23:01] soreau, sure [23:01] the md5 is the same [23:01] How can I remove the link between the localhost and the actual IP? When I ping the IP from the localhost, it shows the network as up when it really isn't. [23:02] i just checked that [23:02] SkotosDeath: Are you sure your burner works? Or how are you trying to 'burn' it to usb? [23:02] soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/623786/ [23:02] soreau, here u go [23:02] with brasero..Yes , i think it works. I burned some iso before 3 or 4 months.. [23:02] brasero and k3b [23:03] xen: Well dhclient should have given output to show success. Try sudo service NetworkManager stop [23:04] valberg: YOu will have to log out and back in again for change to take effect.. [23:04] xen: It's actually network-manager [23:04] is this redhat? sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager stop [23:05] sysop-work: That is the old method [23:05] msg NickServ identify itsamg [23:06] How can I unbind the physical network IP from the localhost loopback [23:06] gizmobay: I don't see why you'd want to do that [23:06] usr13, Have I to add my user to other groups? like pulse? [23:06] hello :) [23:07] BluesKaj: sorry to interrupt you again [23:07] but de DD and DTS works with SPDIF [23:07] however normal analog and digital output are gone right now... [23:07] my network goes down on one PC so I wrote a script to check the IP with a ping [23:08] gizmobay: Why not have it ping google.com? [23:08] well ping 192.168.0.4 returns okay on the localhost but I can't ping from another machine [23:08] soreau, i stopped the network-manager and then tried connecting to a wifi connection around me... dhclient still doesnt respond... [23:08] xen: That's strange.. [23:08] ah, good idea [23:08] xen: What wifi chip is it? [23:08] gizmobay: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail on the local system, the output may give clues [23:10] it just says ralink can't connect [23:10] soreau, Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [23:10] gizmobay: tried a different wireless channel? [23:10] in the dmesg [23:10] yes [23:10] valeria: What is the original username on that machine? (The one you creating during install.) [23:10] xen: sudo lshw -C network tells you [23:10] xen: Maybe some other process is interfering. Which version of ubuntu? [23:10] usr13, valeria [23:10] valeria: grep valeria /etc/group [23:10] every week or two it drops [23:11] valeria: All those....

[23:13] soreau, kk... but wat cmd shud i use? [23:14] soreau, alright [23:14] xen: In the ps ax output, the PID's are shown on the left. The kill command kills processes by their PID [23:14] who know prorat ??? [23:14] PID = process identifier [23:15] or Partitial Integrator Differentiator ^^ [23:15] valeria: Just add the new user to the groups that you think the new user needs to be on. i.e. http://paste.ubuntu.com/623796/ [23:15] ;c [23:15] (if i translated it correctly lol) [23:15] valeria: It just depends on what you think the new user should have access to. (You are the sysadmin.) [23:15] xen: 'killall' kills processes by their name, so you'd want to run 'killall nm-applet' to kill nm-applet [23:15] guys i have a question [23:15] how do i change the output source in alsa? [23:16] its coming through my laptop speakers [23:16] but i want it through my externel sound set [23:16] ;c [23:16] usr13, i'm logged as sysadmin (valeria) and the sound doesn't work the same [23:16] ! sound | Yami_Bas [23:16] Yami_Bas: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[23:19] or hide* [23:20] i have alsamixergui [23:20] and pavucontrol [23:20] Pin, when you log in, you can choose visual environment [23:20] Pin, it's set to Ubuntu by default [23:20] Pin, just try Ubuntu Classic [23:20] how do i try ubuntu classic [23:20] Pin, you select your user on the login screen [23:21] Pin: you can't move or remove it, you can set it to hide always, but it will still be available when you touch the left screen edge, or hover over the ubuntu button [23:21] ok [23:21] YES ! how do i set it to hide allways [23:21] Pin, and before you type your password, at the bottom misc options appear [23:21] how? [23:21] <[deXter]> Hi all, can someone recommend a backup app/script/technique to backup my / partition from within the OS [23:21] Can I use EVINCE to type on top of a pdf file. I know I have done that. Did I use something else? Thanks. [23:21] tensorpudding how do i set it to hide allways [23:22] Pin: install the Compiz Config Settings Manager, and follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity [23:22] I do not know how to return an undetectable software I do not find good software to spliiter [23:22] [deXter]: unison or rsync -Pr manually [23:22] sudo rsync.. * [23:22] ok thank you! [23:23] Pin: select the Autohide option under Hide Launcher in the Behavior Tab [23:23] <[deXter]> DasEi, Thanks, and would rsync work even if the file is in use? [23:23] DasEi: i have pavucontrol and alsamixergui... [23:23] copies advice to [deXter] [23:23] sudo gstreamer-properties then i did this in terminal and let linux use ALSA and my USB soundcard [23:23] [deXter]: both ways are resumable, and that works, yes, also rsync has the -u (only sync altered files) option [23:24] !info rsync [23:24] rsync (source: rsync): fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 3.0.7-2ubuntu3 (natty), package size 278 kB, installed size 676 kB [23:24] and a better algo then cp, [deXter] [23:24] <[deXter]> Neat, thanks DasEi [23:24] have backup [23:25] Hi, I restarted my wireless router, and my fileserver won't reconnect to it. ifup wlan0 says it's not configured. It does show in ip addr [23:25] <[deXter]> DasEi, Could I rsync to a compressed file? like redirect the output to gzip or something [23:25] If I want to type on top of a pdf file (that looks like a form) so I dont have to print it out and rescan (I cant) - what do I use? Thanks. [23:26] [deXter]: you can directly tar it easier [23:26] is rcp different to rsync with ssh options? [23:26] nooneelse can help me with my audio prob= [23:26] ? [23:26] DasEi, [deXter], you could tar and gzip it. the -z flag with tar gzips the file [23:26] [deXter], you probably want to either use a combination of ssh, tar, cat and > or scp [23:26] computerx you MUST do it like this (In case you have not) turn all off. trun on modem. wait. turn on router. wait. turn on computer. boot... THEN does it work? [23:27] tripelb, I really don't want to restart it. The wired connection has 3 PCs with open files right now. [23:27] <[deXter]> computerx, I forgot to mention that I'll be backing up locally mounted FS.. [23:27] well then what can I tell you. This is how AFAIK it must go. [23:28] well then what can I tell you. This is how AFAIK it must go. computerx [23:28] tripelb, I know it works if I restart, I was hoping for a live restart of just the wireless network :( [23:28] [deXter], So you're basically copying from one folder to another? [23:29] <[deXter]> computerx, Well basically I want to maintain a regular backup of my / partition [23:29] valeria: what is the issue? [23:29] <[deXter]> Like make a differential backup every week and keep copies upto 4 weeks [23:29] Ask away. But in your question let this special circumstance be known or you'll get repetitions of what I told you. heh. [23:29] computerx ^^^^ [23:29] [deXter]: Polah's hint is good, if there is enough space on the /~ HD, so tar-zip it and then rsync, though missing resume and update option then [23:30] [deXter], I do similar with: cp -ru --backup=numbered /home/computerx/workspace/* . [23:30] ActionParsnip, my audio stopped work, notwithstanding that speakers work on windows, alsa mixer is well setted and my username is in the right group (audio) [23:31] tripelb, Oh well, thanks. I'll restart it sometime over the next few days :) [23:31] <[deXter]> DasEi, computerx Thanks, will explore these options further [23:31] computerx do you know the answer to my question? I want to fill in a form that came on pdf without printing it. [23:31] valeria: did you try killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse [23:32] valeria: sorry: rm -r ~/.pulse* [23:32] ActionParsnip, yes, nothing go better [23:32] tripelb, I have limited experience of pdfs and acrobat. I would take a screenshot and use gimp to overlay the text. I don't know of a better way. [23:32] k [23:32] how do I install a mutter theme manually? [23:32] valeria: ok what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [23:32] i downloaded AdiaWhite from gnome-look.org [23:32] tripelb, computerx, have you tried pdfedit? [23:33] tripelb, If it's an actual proper PDF form, there's probably a better way. [23:33] tripelb, when you open it in a browser, can't you fill it? [23:33] but i have no clue how to install it in 11.04 :\ [23:33] nvrpunk: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/mutter-theme-viewer.1.html may help [23:34] !pastebin [23:34] 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.
