[00:00] Not helpful bot [00:00] grubnwb, did you ever get the livecd working [00:01] anyone? [00:01] grubnwb: If this web page cannot help you then Launchpad can anyway. [00:01] bullgard4, its possible that xft is doing some width for height stuff to make it look better at that small size and needs to do less of it for one than the other [00:01] VICODAN, you cant [00:01] you cant? [00:01] really? [00:02] why? [00:02] anyone use the nfs built into win7, getting an error 1225 when I try to move files into it. I can create files of 0 length and also directories, but anything with content is failing in either direction [00:02] Quick question... :) What is the command to open an application, how do you find the path of an application? [00:02] Basically, I am trying to set up keyboard shortcuts, hence, it's asking me for a command. [00:02] jenocin: use SMB, problem solved [00:03] VICODAN: already have smb working, doesn't solve the problem with nfs [00:03] Xhetoric4l: open a terminal, su to root, run "updatedb" and "locate xxx |grep bin" [00:03] easiest way to find it for me [00:03] grubnwb: A number of people are complaining about this problem. To all: does it have anything to do with Grub2 and how its menu page seems to be rendered in a higher resolution than it otherwise might be? [00:03] jenocin: you might need to use a user name and password for NFS [00:03] dunno never used NFS on windows bruv [00:03] escott: I will further investigate your suggestion tomorrow.-- Thank you for your suggestion. [00:03] Xhetoric4l: or console and use which executablename [00:04] Anyone know of a calendar app that will sync to gmail? (other than evolution) === DasEi1 is now known as DasEi [00:04] VICODAN, afaik thats not customizable [00:05] klown, i use thunderbird [00:05] escott: that's really dumb.. i was trying to get desktop cube working too and i was crashing unity and that menu bar on the top whatever it's called.. status bar i guess [00:06] jenocin: is Windows the NFS client or the NFS serer? [00:06] VICODAN: windows is the client [00:06] oh ok [00:06] much easier [00:06] heh [00:06] VICODAN: wanted to see speed difference, moving massive files [00:07] you mount it just like an smb share [00:07] according to this link [00:07] Guest404, I'll try it, thanks. [00:07] http://sagehacks.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/howto-mount-nfs-shares-under-windows-7/ [00:07] and i seriously doubt you will notice much of a performance difference.. [00:07] you might as well just use FTP [00:07] VICODAN: yep I already can mount and browse, just in the actual command to send data. I can use a command like echo test > test.txt on the share from windows, file gets created but is 0 length and errors out [00:07] VICODAN: already use ftp too [00:07] I just downloaded conky like 3 times [00:08] and I cant find it anywhere [00:08] jenocin: did you check your NFS permissions [00:08] It isnt in my apps [00:08] Cant find it on any searches [00:08] First, set up NFS exports on the server- in my case a Ubuntu desktop. An /etc/exports file may look like this: [00:08] /home 192.168.1.0/24 (rw, async, insecure) [00:09] VICODAN: let me try the insecure, used some other options [00:09] You're not going to find "conky" listed in your applications as it's a console based application - even if you have downloaded and installed the entire conky packages. It's accessible via the console/terminal, and can be scripted to run. [00:09] k good luck [00:09] grubnwb, my guess is that grub cannot find data it needs to put just outside the mbr. that would be very strange but any other way you should have a minimal grub shell [00:09] klown, it requires plugin ligthning pour cal support, and it can sync gmail contacts with plugin gcontactsync [00:09] VICODAN: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000) connects [00:09] no take all that other crap out [00:09] just use rw, async, insecure [00:10] and use [00:10] 192.168.0.0/16 [00:10] VICODAN: why mask /16? and I've tried async,rw just not the insecure, working on it now [00:10] you said 192.168.0.0 [00:11] that equates to /24 [00:11] err [00:11] what is the non branded firefox package? [00:11] /16 [00:11] if you said [00:11] 192.168.1.0 then you would say /24 [00:11] you dont need subnet mask [00:11] enyawix, many years ago there was iceweasel [00:12] escott i know i can not find iceweasel [00:12] is there a cli tool that will display which cpu is gobbling up all the cycles similar to what gnome-system-monitor does? [00:12] VICODAN, can you please use [ENTER] less [00:12] gohdan, top [00:12] VICODAN: using the 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255 subnet hence the /24 its a class c private [00:12] sorry, keep reminding me [00:12] is iceweasel not bundled with Debian anymore? [00:13] escott many years ago? wow i am getting old [00:13] escott: do ho ho. very funny [00:13] jenocin: oh okay im used to the 192.168.1.x convention, in that case you can use /24 [00:13] where do i put my design? [00:13] looking for it to display CPU1 50% CPU2 10% etc [00:13] 192.168.0.0 can still be /24 [00:14] gohdan, ok i see i bet top can do that, see the man page [00:14] erbun i do not know i went from debian to ubuntu because the packages tend to be very old [00:14] i want crit on my work [00:14] * gohdan begrudgingly consults man top [00:15] rewt, 192.168.0.0 could be quite a few different netmasks since we're actually using CIDR nowadays [00:15] VICODAN: /24 = 255.255.255.0 , 256 on the last octet, and also tried the insecure in the exports still says connection denied, although it creates a 0 byte file [00:15] rewt: 192.168.0.0 would be /16 ? [00:15] why would it be /16 [00:15] gohdan: htop is decent too [00:15] Aginor, yes, my statement doesn't disagree with that [00:15] 255.255.0.0 ? [00:16] enyawix, don't let the 0s on the end of 192.168.0.0 fool you; they don't mean that they don't count for anything [00:16] err... or something [00:16] they don't mean anything [00:16] jenocin: i just now got top all configured to operate and look the way i like it. not looking for another change [00:17] you decide what the mask is, not the ip [00:17] you can just as easily have a network with 192.168.0.0/5 [00:17] gah [00:18] 192.168.0.0/28 [00:18] or w/e [00:18] jenocin: well according to that link it says use /24 not a subnet mask [00:19] rewt: yes i know 192.168.0.0 can be /24.. i didn't realize he was using 192.168.0.0-0.255 [00:19] VICODAN: either is a subnet, both work. and I can connect like i said, just not on the send, I can browse, create directories, and create 0 byte files [00:19] ok [00:19] but did you try it [00:19] with insecure [00:19] and just those 3 options [00:19] VICODAN: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:19] like that page says [00:19] !enter [00:19] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:19] argh [00:19] you're gunna get me in trouble [00:20] so last time im going to tell you this [00:20] follow the instructions on this page: http://sagehacks.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/howto-mount-nfs-shares-under-windows-7/ [00:20] anyone tell me whether or not: jockey not reporting drivers as activated: is a big issue or not? [00:21] also make sure you have client services for NFS installed in Windows [00:21] Cause i know the drivers are loaded, it's just jockey isn't reporting them correctly [00:21] rinkukokiri: what kind of video card [00:21] nvidia [00:21] Hibernation in ubuntu 11.04 doesn't work for me, it worked in 10.10. It hibernates but when I turn the computer back on, I get a screen with weird lines at the top. I'm using a hp mini 110 [00:21] sorry, can't help. [00:21] Guest404, you ment the lightning addon, correct [00:22] VICODAN: already did everything on that page and also tried the /24 again. I look around the web some more and see what I can find. I can map the drives in windows already and they show up. Seems like a secondary connection isn't able to connect, just hunting down to the why, anyways thanks for the help [00:22] how to remove root access from the users? [00:23] I want to do it properly [00:23] harushimo: man visudo [00:23] good pswd [00:23] harushimo: remove them from the admin group and they cannot use sudo. root account is disabled [00:24] Anyone know the problem? [00:24] harushimo, if they're not admin and they don't have your password, (i.e. they're just regular users) they don't have root access [00:24] they have it [00:24] harushimo, remove them from the admin and sudo groups [00:24] I know that [00:24] how do I access the admin group [00:24] harushimo: change your pass then [00:24] jenocin: you have client services for NFS installed on windows? [00:24] did you try restarting NFS after changing those options? [00:24] can anyone tell me the ramifications of jockey-gtk not correctly reporting installed video drivers? [00:24] harushimo: man adduser, man deluser [00:25] hello how can I find out what processes are using what module ? [00:25] VICODAN: yep, thats how I'm already mapping and yes restart the service with each change. going to try another machine [00:25] or better said, how can I unload a module when it is in use? [00:26] jenocin: check the owner/group of the nfs shared folder and permissions [00:26] harushimo, and usermod [00:26] are you mounting the folder as root or as a certain user? [00:26] i'm having trouble getting a bridge on top of a bonded interface to work since 11.04 [00:27] lapion: rmmod, thinking of listing module/process, moment [00:27] VICODAN: folders are 777, files are 666, should be mounting as non with the options I passed [00:28] VICODAN: gonna see if I can hunt down another nfs client just to verify if it is sfu or something else [00:28] i can ping an IP on the bond0, but if i remove it and move it to the bridge, i can't. an identical bridge configuration on top of a regular ethernet interface works fine. has anyone seen this before? [00:28] qin, I need to unload the kms module, have allready killed the X server now only the console.. [00:29] jenocin: you got me curious. im going to try this from a winxp box [00:29] is there a way to take root access through the gui screen? [00:29] harushimo, gksudo [00:29] when i try to launch tomboy i get an error: http://pastebin.com/NMf4mSQw [00:30] VICODAN: I'm on a win7, sfu is a bit different, no mapping service anymore, installing cygwin now to see if it works there, gonna be a few minutes [00:30] harushimo: "su" in a terminal works [00:30] jenocin: does it work on a win xp box? [00:30] can anyone tell me the ramifications of jockey-gtk not correctly reporting installed video drivers? [00:30] VICODAN, su = sudo? [00:30] su /= sudo [00:31] !su [00:31] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:31] they are not the same thing [00:31] now the question is: is there a tui tool that can draw a graph of cpu usage the way gnome-system-monitor, 'ttyload' or 'bmon' does? ttyload works great but it only plots the overall system load [00:31] VICODAN: gotta find one or virtualize one to tell you that :-P [00:31] wow.. that factoid needs to be fixxored [00:31] jenocin: i dont think it will make that much of a difference. let me try it. [00:32] i like the su command better than sudo [00:32] go redhat [00:32] gohdan: I was playing with the CPU the other day, actually as a product of our looking at "sensors -f" and I've since been running "cpufreq-info" though I don't know if that's one of the ones I downloaded or not, also, I don't think it gives you the output you're wanting exactly. Also, "sudo dmidecode 4" . [00:32] where is the admin group located in what specific file [00:32] centHOGG: i already sudo'd and change the password for root. [00:32] and i just came from fedora [00:32] I always end up using sudo -i [00:33] harushimo: This do not work this way. [00:33] i think the su factoid needs to say something about the actual command su instead of gksu, kdesudo or sudo [00:33] harushimo, /etc/group [00:33] I know sudo [00:33] I look in the group file. it doesn't say they are part of the admin group [00:34] rinkukokiri, well su doesn't work in ubuntu because of !root [00:34] still !su redirects to !sudo it looks.. they are totally different commands [00:35] point being, if i man su, i get a man page about su, not sudo.. [00:36] Hibernation in ubuntu 11.04 doesn't work for me, it worked in 10.10. It hibernates but when I turn the computer back on, I get a screen with weird lines at the top. I'm using a hp mini 110 [00:36] VICODAN: I ran the updatedb and locate command and still haven't found File Manager. Does Xubuntu's file manager go by another name? [00:36] Xhetoric4l: i think its something like xfce4-session or xfce-session [00:37] I have a 19month old daughter who disabled my laptop's trackpad. Anyway to enable it without restarting? [00:37] Xhetoric4l: it is thunar [00:37] returnthis: Try one of the function buttons "fn" . [00:37] returnthis: Most laptops have a button that disables the trackpad [00:38] Kernel-Panic: yeah, pressin the button next to the trackpad does nothing [00:38] mine (asus) is fn + F9 [00:38] but alas, it no work in linux [00:38] returnthis, what kind of laptop? [00:39] returnthis, some buttons you have to press and hold for a certain amount of time [00:39] check that, it /does/ work for about .75 seconds [00:39] ok. got it to work by disabling the screen and turning it on again [00:40] random fn + FX key [00:40] lol [00:40] when i try to launch tomboy i get an error: http://pastebin.com/NMf4mSQw [00:40] thnx for the ideas :) [00:40] can anyone tell me the ramifications of jockey-gtk not correctly reporting installed video drivers? [00:40] seanzy, remove the inidicated note that causes the exception [00:41] klown, yes i mean these two addons [00:41] !vlc > shoogy [00:41] shoogy, please see my private message [00:42] returnthis: You're welcome. :) [00:42] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras > shoogy [00:42] when i do an adduser, how do i make sure the user doesn't have root access through the terminal or is it better to use the gui interface [00:43] i want to add user without root access [00:43] harushimo, make sure the user is not a member of the admin group. usually the gui is easier [00:43] Hi all! Small issue here : I want to force the use of the notification area insted of the indicator applet for my application. Actually it does at boot time, but if I quit/restart, it goes back in the wild land of the indicator, where tooltips are unknown ... Any idea of how to do that ? [ubuntu 11.04/GNOME 2.32.1/application written in python/tray defined with the gtk lib] [00:44] how are you [00:44] sudo groups to confirm that there is no admin group for user [00:44] harushimo: ^^^ [00:45] VICODAN: found it, had to use -o nolock on the windows client, at least for uploading [00:45] interesting [00:45] was that in that link? [00:45] where did you find that? [00:45] I put a WUBI install over windows, and before I repartition the drive to make *real* Ubuntu install, I wanted to try WiNE on the app's that are already loaded on the old Windows Partition. I think I've configured WoW correctly (as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft), but I get an error message on launch that WoW needs *WRITE* permission to continue (which makes sense), but I WUBI NTFS partitions have funny p [00:45] How do you change permissions on WUBI NTFS partitions? === _pagz is now known as pagz [00:46] HelloWorld321: the host ntfs is accessible from /host you can access your windows files from that folder [00:46] VICODAN: by hand, figured it had something to do with locking so started check the options, could create the file just not get data into them, so started going through the sfu mount options to see if any of them made sense [00:46] nobody ? [00:46] escott: how do you it in the terminal? [00:46] harushimo, read the man page I don't know off-hand [00:46] does anyone know whether or not it's a big issue if jockey-gtk fails to report the correct video driver as in use, I am using an nvidia card with nvidia drivers that ARE loaded, however jockey fails to report that, and I know they are working... I just wanna know if there are any heauge issues with this or not. [00:47] idts [00:47] VICODAN: still working on the downloading side, will have to check some of the locking options to see if they make a difference [00:47] qin, the module is in use, I am on a ssh an there should be able to detach all vc's and unload the module [00:47] centHOGG: Sweet. [00:47] alhrath: this depends on how it decides whether to start the notification area applet or the indicator [00:48] alhrath: the fact that it starts with the notfication tray one is probably a mistake [00:48] Yeah, that's my question :p [00:48] jenocin: very good info. thank you [00:48] alhrath: most apps would just assume that if you had the appindicator library that you'd prefer indicators since they're richer [00:48] lapion: does rmmod is not enough? [00:49] alhrath: which apps is this? [00:49] tensorpudding: Specto [00:49] ActionPa1snip: I'm looking at \host\ubuntu\winboot ? [00:49] Yes, but indicator doesn't support tooltip, whitch I need ... [00:49] qin, the module is in use by the vitual console manager [00:49] No way to force the use of notification ? [00:50] alhrath: why do you need tooltip? [00:50] To display additionnal informations ... :è [00:50] :p [00:51] hi my dear [00:51] alhrath: and this information isn't available in the indicator? [00:51] Boa Noite!!!

[00:53] alhrath: there isn't really a way to change it except by altering the code [00:53] hi. i haven't built a custom kernel in ages. anything i need to do after make menuconfig; make bzImage; make modules_install and then move the kernel to /boot? [00:53] Thank you! ubottu. [00:53] and tell grub about it [00:53] HelloWorld321: if you run: ln -s /host ~/Windows you can easily access the files from the 'Windows' folder in your home folder [00:53] alhrath: assuming the app doesn't have a configuration option for indicator vs notification applet [00:53] k [00:53] !thanks | mariosilvabr [00:53] mariosilvabr: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [00:54] tensorpudding: Actually I could make this conf option, but I have no idea how to code it ... [00:54] beefman, update-grub [00:54] alhrath: you might file a bug on their site [00:54] yeah that [00:54] can anyone see my message? [00:54] tensorpudding: of the app ? [00:54] alhrath: yes [00:54] just wondering [00:54] beefman, sorry grub-mkconfig [00:54] q0_0p: Yes. [00:54] tensorpudding: actually I'm suppose to fix it ^^ [00:54] Logan_: thanks [00:54] alhrath: it's not likely they'll make it configurable, though, since ubuntu has deprecated the notification area [00:55] q0_0p: You're welcome. [00:55] ActionPa1snip: /host is a folder? With two sub-folders, "System Volume Information" and "ubuntu"? [00:55] tensorpudding: I'm in the dev team of the app ... [00:55] alhrath: oh [00:55] escott: ty. is initrd.img- for the prebuilt ones a renamed bzImage? [00:55] or do i have to do something special to make an init root disk? [00:55] tensorpudding: so you say there is no way to force the choice ? [00:56] alhrath: well, i assume then you're familiar with python's bindings to appindicator [00:56] beefman, no its an initrd. you should be able to use theirs provided that your kernel will boot your system fully [00:57] beefman, if your kernel has modules needed to boot (sata controller etc) you need to open the stock initrd and add your modules to it [00:57] so specify the old initrd even if it's a different kernel version than the one i'm compiling? [00:57] alhrath: you should figure out how it determines which to use, it could simply be that it looks for the appindicator module, or something more involved [00:57] qin I have a hangcheck error on i915 kms however the system is still running, and I want to reload the module to see if it was a hangcheck error or if the hardware is truly at fault [00:57] ok yeah it does -- scsi driver [00:57] So, trying to set up a keyboard shortcut for Thunar. I got a bunch of results in the Terminal, so I tried /usr/share/menu/thunar but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a certain extension I should look for? [00:57] beefman, its a gzipped cpio archive [00:58] HelloWorld321: yes /host is a folder [00:58] tensorpudding: it seem's that the app is more configured to use the not area than appindicator ... but it's not explicitly indicated (it's not me that coded that part) [00:59] tensorpudding: but indeed, the app is well configured to act in the not area, and is not for the app indicator [00:59] tensorpudding: (lot of info missing) [00:59] escott: is initrd kernel version specific? is there a tool to autocreate one based on kernel config? [01:00] alhrath: i found something [01:00] tensorpudding: cool ^^ [01:01] alhrath: line 38 in notifier.py [01:01] Xhetoric4l: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/05/29/your-wish-is-xubuntus-command/ [01:01] beefman, its a rudimentary filesystem + kernel modules. the only thing kernel specific are the modules. [01:01] ok i see... just figured out how to open it up w/ cpio [01:01] alhrath: it has a try block to import from spectlib.tools.indicator, and if it excepts it goes INDICATOR = False [01:01] alhrath: presumably that import fails if indicator isn't available [01:01] tensorpudding: :p thy a lot! [01:01] beefman, im sure there is a way to create one, but I don't know how. there is a group that compiles vanilla stock kernels for ubuntu which you can download as debs [01:02] lapion: Rather check bugs (in angle: kernel number), truly do not know how to even approach it. [01:02] alhrath: the configuration on whether to use indicators seems to hinge on that INDICATOR variable [01:02] alhrath: the default behavior is to use indicators always if they're available [01:02] ActionPa1snip: I don't know what to do with that folder. I'm looking at "System Volume Information", and it has only one file, a log file. So I figure I don't care about "System Volume Information". The other folder ubuntu has "disks", "install", "winboot" folders and an icon, and uninstall-wubi. Disks has "boot", "root.disk", and "swap.disk". I can't read the two ".disk" files, so I'm hoping I don't care about them? [01:02] if there are a good SVN manager like Synaptic? [01:03] tensorpudding: thx a lot :p I missed that part [01:03] alhrath: wait, huh [01:03] alhrath: that might be something else [01:04] tensorpudding: ? [01:04] alhrath: is this application indicators? [01:04] alhrath: they use the library appindicator, not python-indicator, which i'm not familiar with [01:04] i don't think [01:04] sup [01:05] or i don't know [01:05] TrD: Do you mean like it scans your hard drive for .svn folders and auto updates them and such? [01:05] yes rationalOgre [01:05] and tell me if update is available [01:05] sweet [01:05] TrD: To my knowledge, no. You could create a shell script to do it. [01:06] escott: ty -- found it. initramfs-tools [01:06] update-initramfs with simple flags finds the configured/compiled kernel and made appropriate file [01:06] i don't know if python-indicator is the same thing as python-appindicator [01:06] i wana search on that rationalOgre, thanks :) [01:07] tensorpudding: It seem that it's that ... "p.named("indicator-applet")" anyway, now you gave me the path, I want to check it further myself ^^ [01:07] does anyone know whether or not it's a big issue if jockey-gtk fails to report the correct video driver as in use, I am using an nvidia card with nvidia drivers that ARE loaded, however jockey fails to report that, and I know they are working... I just wanna know if there are any heauge issues with this or not. [01:07] alhrath: well, good luck then [01:07] HI, I cant save my work, When I click save the window pops up but Im unable to click anything within the window. Im not sure if this is an Ubuntu issue, GTK, or a program issue. [01:07] tensorpudding: thx :) [01:08] rinkukokiri: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/793855 [01:08] Ubuntu bug 793855 in jockey (Ubuntu) "jockey-gtk displays nvidia drivers as 'enabled, not in use' (dup-of: 771788)" [Undecided,New] [01:08] Hey, I'm trying to connect to a wireless network using the command line, but teh tutorials everywhere don't seem to work. http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/14/connect-to-a-wireless-network-via-command-line/ When I do the iwconfig wlan0 essid line, there is no output.

Best of luck to you on it. [01:09] qin, im asking whether or not the problem results in a bigger issue, as I'm already subscribed to that... (or a different but similar one) [01:09] thank you rationalOgre :) [01:09] teage: what program? [01:09] Its happening in mypaint and gimp [01:09] qin, I know allready what I oveloked.. I just needed to check what processes are using tty's and kill them all ( of course I allready killed all vc's) but there is allways the console loggin..etc etc [01:09] TrD: FWIW I keep all my repositories in a standard place ~/code/ and then just manually update them from time to time when the mood strikes. [01:10] teage: I wouldnt know but it sounds like a mypaint/gimp problem to me [01:10] rinkukokiri: Ah, no idea, use mesa :) [01:10] Once upon a time I used ~/projects/ [01:10] but code made more sense for me. [01:10] qin, mesa? [01:10] !mesa [01:11] !info mesa | rinkukokiri [01:11] rinkukokiri: Package mesa does not exist in natty [01:11] Hey, so does anyone know how to connect to wpa on the command line? [01:11] thats a bummer, sje46, do you know if mypaint has a channel in chat? [01:11] rinkukokiri: http://www.mesa3d.org/ [01:11] I dont know [01:12] sje46, nm-tool should be able to help [01:12] teage: it does [01:12] #mypaint [01:13] qin, ?? i don't understand ... i have gl support [01:14] \quit [01:14] qin i'm asking whether or not /jockey failing to correctly report activated, inuse drivers/ presents any larger issues than just aesthetic ones,. [01:14] escott: why would that help? all it does is give me info [01:14] rinkukokiri, he is saying he doesnt know because he uses mesa [01:14] I already know the network I want to connect to [01:15] escott, i thought he was telling me to use mesa [01:15] at least that's wht i got from that === Sean is now known as Guest83145 [01:15] rinkukokiri: I do not think anyone on that channel bother inversigate that bug, it happens quite often, but have not heard of issue bigger that dispalys resolution problem, which could be associated with this. [01:16] sje46, sorry nmcli [01:16] qin, k thx that's all I was really wondering.. [01:16] is there a way too monitor USB output voltage? [01:17] rinkukokiri: But since there is public log of #ubuntu... It is possible to check it ;) [01:18] escott: does this actually connect to wireless networks? [01:19] sje46, yes otherwise you have to use iwconfig and wpasupplicant and ifconfig and dhcp and ... [01:19] escott: ...luck [01:19] patience? [01:19] escott: yes, did you read up? That's the problem. It's not working [01:19] escott: how do I use nmcli to connect to a wireless network? [01:19] is there a way too monitor USB output voltage? [01:19] There doesn't seem to be an option [01:20] gartral: there are ways to monitor the system power bus, that should be the same [01:20] How do I send file attachments with msmtp? I'm just trying to set up a script to send an automated e-mail with a file attachment? [01:20] th0r: How? [01:20] sje46, you will have to read the man page i've never used it. but its a cli client to nm which should allow you the same abilities as the indicator applet [01:21] escott: I am reading the man-page. There is no option. [01:21] gartral: I think there are acpi options for that. I know there is a voltage monitor in some of the monitor stacks I have used (gkrellm, conky, or some such). Was never really interested so never looked closely at it [01:21] Does anyone have any pointers to how to keep pppd connected all the time? Right now I check it every now and then and reconnect it using 'sudo pppd call' but I'd like to keep it up all the time. [01:22] Have been considering a cron job, but figured someone may have done this already [01:23] th0r: the EFI BIOS on this system doesn't have a full ACPI stack :/ === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:26] gartral: I have found google references to lm-sensors and grkellm...I use gkrellm but never looked into adding lm-sensors [01:27] gartral: booting up my debian vm now to check into it [01:27] th0r: ty [01:28] PProvost: What happen with pppd if connection terminate? [01:29] PProvost: Or write script to monitor ifconfig, in case of no ip, restart pppd [01:31] qin: I have a script that just does `ps ax` with some grep to see if it is running [01:31] Was hoping for something a little more elegant [01:32] I'm seeing an error saying I have a problem with a Mergelist when trying to do an apt-get update [01:32] Do headphone jacks generally work on laptops w/ ubuntu? [01:32] I can't get mine to work [01:33] PProvost: Wrapper, if pppd exits, you just need simple loop. Also why connection terminate, idle, signal? [01:33] lease? [01:33] don't know [01:33] Looks like there is a persist option on pppd [01:33] Will try that first [01:33] lake: yes, you might need too go into sound settings too switch the output [01:33] how do I get syntax highlighting at the command prompt? [01:34] like if I "cat" a file containing code [01:34] or even with less, more [01:34] gartral: thanks, i did try that. [01:34] no worky [01:34] lake: what does lspci say about audio hardware? [01:34] gartral: found something called mbmon, but having a bit of trouble getting it to run properly [01:35] Hey this is probably extremely vague but I installed a program called "Autokey" and at first it started fine and appeared in the menu bar and everything. Then I started it from terminal and now it doesn't even open the GUI menu.. it's supposed to run "behind-the-scenes" but I can't configure the darn thing without access to the GUI [01:36] Is there a way to launch applications from the terminal and just sort of make them do the GUI thing? [01:36] gartral: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) [01:37] I'm new to Linux and I'm interested in installing Ubuntu. I read that people are not happy with the latest release of Ubuntu. Which version should I install? [01:38] Zulaika: I'm generally happy with the latest version. [01:38] Zulaika: We cannot predict if you will like it or now. [01:39] you should just try to install it and see if you lke it [01:39] Zulaika, one reason people dont like the new version is because the gui is designed for more novice users. you may or may not like it. the biggest reason not to use the newest would be if your video card on your computer is particularly old [01:39] Zulaika: there is a LiveCD you can try to, to see what you think [01:39] Zulaika: The latest (supposedly unpopular) version is 11.04. You can run unity (the unpopular interface) or you can run gnome 2.x (which is the old interface). [01:40] I have installed from a known good memory stick. The machine loads and runs perfectly from the live cd, the hard disk appears right, yet the thing won't boot. Looks like the boot record is not there, have repeated. Help! [01:40] Zulaika: Yes. Use the liveCD to try Ubuntu (and either interface) without installing [01:40] Zulaika: There are 10.04 LTS and 10.10 (still supported) or 11.04 (latest). All of them can be used as live system from CD or USB [01:40] Ok, will do - thanks for the help. [01:41] MagicJ: Is it sandisk? [01:42] qin: what is sandisk? [01:42] MagicJ: Sorry, needed to read twice... disregard. [01:43] gartral: I am having no luck as this is an old laptop with no detectable sensors. But you should check out the packages mbmon, gkrellm, and lm-sensors. In lm-sensors there is a program called sensors-detect (root only) that will tell you if you have motherboard sensors [01:43] how can I set PATH for gnome so I don;t need to use absolute path names in key shortcuts? [01:44] petrus: in ~/.bashrc, PATH=$PATH:/yours/path/here [01:45] MagicJ: what's the error on trying to boot? [01:46] qin: that does not work for gnome, just for the shell in a terminal [01:46] Hellow [01:47] petrus: Just thought it might not. [01:47] !hello [01:47] +een? \m/ [01:47] petrus, you have to logout for it to take effect [01:47] any one can guide me to some console (small) application that allows to create a random string for a password [01:48] escott: no as I said, it has nothing to do with the shell. [01:48] commandocoding, google for password generator there are dozens of them [01:48] commandocoding: secpwgen? === recifewop is now known as wildgoose [01:48] Just tried that [01:49] Ok I just installed ubuntu my screen resolution is not listed [01:49] was not fruitful, but since you say there are a dozen then I will look further, I was looking for some referances because then its tested by a fellow user. Thanks [01:49] when do you adduser in the terminal, does it automatically give that user root access? [01:50] i'm trying to understand this [01:50] sorry [01:50] no [01:50] harushimo: it does not [01:50] Anyone? Ok I just installed ubuntu my screen resolution is not listed [01:50] how does one fetch source packages from a PPA by hand? [01:50] !patience | grubnwb [01:50] grubnwb: 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/ [01:50] HTT-Bird: what does "by hand" mean? [01:51] jrib: without adding the package to apt [01:51] err s/package/ppa [01:51] if I'm being stupid by doing that, please tell me. :P [01:51] HTT-Bird: should be able to use the launchpad interface? [01:51] grubnwb: also, some system specs might not hurt [01:52] jrib: I'm looking at the LP interface [01:52] HTT-Bird: link? [01:52] cypha: You would need something like Pygments [01:52] Where do I look in ubuntu to find my specs? [01:52] https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/ppa/+packages ppa in question [01:52] cypha: To get syntax highlighting for less [01:52] cypha: You would invoke it like pygmentize filename | less [01:53] HTT-Bird: when you click on the package name it expands and displays the source package [01:53] gartral: i figured it out!! [01:53] szal: there is no error - it just generates a blank screen - that's why I am suspect that the boot record is not written and I do note that when installing even though no error is reported it goes to the live CD sign on screen after setting up users, when it usually goes to a reboot screen [01:53] jrib: I must be a blind man, as I don't see anything corresponding to the source package. [01:53] For anyone following my question asnwer is install pwgen (repository) [01:53] commandocoding: From ABS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/625541/ [01:53] HTT-Bird: .dsc .debian.tar.gz and .orig.tar.gz are the source package [01:54] petrus, .gnomerc maybe http://superuser.com/questions/19044/how-do-i-set-an-environmental-variable-for-a-gnome-session [01:54] HTT-Bird: is that what you were looking for? [01:55] jrib: not quite. I want the sources the package in the PPA is being built from, not the upstream ones from either Debian or Wine [01:55] HTT-Bird: that is the source package [01:55] oh, so those two .tar.gz's are what the actual Ubuntu package in the PPA is being built from? good to know. [01:56] HTT-Bird: and the .dsc, yes [01:56] can someone tell me the command to run a .sh? sorry for the noob question [01:56] jrib: what is the .dsc? [01:56] HTT-Bird: open it up and see :) [01:56] fowler: /bin/sh [01:56] fowler: bash script.sh [01:57] thank you very much [01:57] fowler: you probably need to make the file executable first....chmod a+x filename [01:58] jrib: got it. so...now I need to take the sources from those two tar.gz's, merge them together, and then apply the patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19491 to them [01:58] bugs.winehq.org bug 19491 in winsock "WSASend() fails when lpNumberOfBytesSent is NULL" [Minor,New] [01:59] escott: thanks, I used .gnomerc and thought it would work but in fact it didn't. [01:59] what's the easiest way to do that? [01:59] (oh, and compiling/installing the thing helps too ;D) [01:59] bbiab, I think my dinner is ready [02:00] HTT-Bird: make sense? The easy way for you to obtain the source package is to install dget and just run « dget -x http://url.to.the.dsc ». Then apply the patches. Then document your changes, increment your version (dch -i), and append "~bird1" to the incremented package version. Now, obtain the dependencies to build the package (apt-get build-dep PACKAGE). Finally, rebuild the package with [02:00] dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc. [02:00] What is a partial upgrade? Ubuntu says I need to do that to update the wine package [02:01] why so many people use linux mint? [02:01] jrib: I take it dpkg-buildpackage is in devscripts? [02:01] free? [02:01] HTT-Bird: dpkg-dev [02:01] jrib: which package is dget in? [02:02] HTT-Bird: devscripts [02:02] oh, cool. [02:02] MK``, it needs to upgrade but needs to do it in two steps for some reason, just let it and then be sure to run another upgrade process later [02:02] I upgraded many weeks ago, this issue just turned up now. [02:03] jrib: http://www.pastie.org/2058807 dpkg spits back this error [02:03] do I need to add the public key for the PPA in question? [02:04] HTT-Bird, yes [02:04] HTT-Bird: you don't *need* it [02:04] (err, dget, but you get the picture) [02:05] should I just bypass it with -u? [02:05] (it's from a PPA I already use for my Wine package. hehe. :) [02:05] HTT-Bird, if you do you will have to do that every time [02:05] escott: I don't think I'll have to deal with it again tbh.

[03:14] dijonyummy: Why not just stick with 10.10 and see what happens by April 2012? [03:16] soreau, fantastic, it works perfectly! thank you! [03:16] is it easy to install your own package updates on LTS if its not in the LTS repos [03:17] camer0ff: cool :-) [03:17] maybe easier to go to LTS and get all the critical stuff easily. then just update diff apps yourslef if needed [03:17] hi guys [03:17] but LTS has older kernel, maybe not as good for hibernate/suspend, etc other issues [03:18] Anyone know to install a C + + compiler for ubuntu [03:18] can i install gnome2 on 11.10 from someplace else? i dont care if it breaks the unity [03:20] ok the md5 verifies, it's cc1591035877c317fdef7f4ebf1662b9 . so i guess reburn.

Switch to a tty (alt-F2), mount the new partition to a temp location and copy /home to it. Delete /home, then make an entry in fstab to automatically mount the new partition to /home on reboot [04:02] Josesordo: you need to log into the tty as root since you will be deleting the /home of all other users temporarily [04:02] YankDownUnder i have webmin installed at least i think i have it installed properly :/ im trying to get minecraft plugins to connect to the sql.. to help generate databases...

[04:05] battle_warrior_, not saying to reset the database, just restart the database server (should be in the /etc/init.d directory, eh?)

[04:07] i used the univerls usb installer, and chose my 11.04 img, but when i boot the usb it just shows boot: and thats it, i hit enter and nothing [04:07] battle_warrior_, I'll assume that you'd do "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart" [04:08] i think to restart mysql you run the command "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart" [04:09] Hmm...I thought I said that...maybe, possibly not...

Sorry, no idea really -- I mostly use SQLite, however MySQL queries are similar so I figured that'd be the question [05:04] Hi there [05:04] hi [05:08] trying again: anyone know why fast user switching isn't enabled on my new natty install? (and how do I add it) [05:09] I have a similar question, how can i change Switch user from the power button menu to Logout user? [05:09] Sahat, did you do anything special to "enable" it? [05:10] fattire, no it came like that with fresh install of 11.04... Lock Screen, switch from | Suspend | Restart | Shutdown [05:10] No logout option [05:11] I could log out by typing Logout in the Gnome Do, but i was wondering if i can change it from the power button menu [05:11] Sahat: I think you can logout simply by calling unity [05:12] Sahat: err, killing* [05:12] does anyone know how to fix this error using mysql http://pastebin.com/BH1Y9E1r [05:12] Sahat, mine says shutdown | restart | suspend | hibernate [05:13] Fattire are you on 11.04 as well? [05:13] Sahat, yup [05:13] fattire: I am running 11.04 on Live USB Drive, maybe that's why it's a little different here [05:15] I dunno [05:15] I just installed off CD yesterday... i can't imagine why it's not working [05:15] why that option isn't there [05:15] and the command to logout from terminal is kill right? [05:15] Sahat: exit [05:16] theadmin: thanks, i'll try it now, if i go offline then it worked [05:16] Sahat: Err, if you mean "logout of Unity from a terminal", it's probably "killall unity" [05:16] yep, exit just exits the terminal [05:16] i have oracle vm on my ubuntu10.10. during opening vm it pop up that new version of vm is available. my question if i update my vm.does the old configuration and installed os on my vm will be changed?

[06:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:04] Jaded: just the standard 32 bit live desktop will be fine [06:04] yeah but there are different versions. [06:04] Jaded: although I would be temped to use the xfce version [06:04] 11.04, 10.10, 10.04, 8.04, 6.06 [06:05] I want to get the best performance for my old hardware. [06:05] Jaded: 10.04 if you want a stable machine, 11.04 if you want the latest [06:06] def want it stable, I'm looking to set it up for just basic internet use for a friend. [06:06] Jaded: get xubuntu [06:06] Jaded: 512mb of ram is cutting it close for the staock version [06:06] Why does on a new computer Tilda and mc not show the »Monospace 6« font as wide as on my old computer having the same vertical pixel number and the same display screen height? http:/paste.ubuntu.com/625488 [06:06] Um, I'm downloading the minimal CD. [06:06] 512mb ram is pretty painful [06:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:07] just spend 5$ to get another 512mb ram or just throw that thing to trashcan :P [06:07] So I'll def be not be using gnome or KDE [06:07] Jaded: I would get xubuntu or go get another 512mb memory stick [06:07] BNC's available, PM me if interested [06:08] Jaded: you wont be using either very fast with 512mb of ram lol [06:08] xfce isn't really any faster than gnome2 [06:08] or use any less memory [06:08] th^^: way less ram though [06:08] no [06:08] you just assume it does [06:08] but it doesn't [06:08] th^^: for me xfce is 140mb less on a default desktop [06:08] same gtk libs, you're most likely running same apps too etc etc [06:08] z/help getint [06:09] Hello [06:10] you're looking some numbers wrong if xfce takes 140mb less, as my gnome+x desktop on old thinkpad doesn't even take 140bm in total :) [06:10] th^^: your forgetting the xfce default apps are designed to liteweight [06:10] Well I tried using TinyCoreLinux, but had issues setting up my CRT for 85hz [06:10] software doesn't "weight" anything [06:10] th^^: your being anal now [06:10] i know :) [06:11] Hi, does anyone have an answer for my question? I need to buy a USB wifi adapter that's LInux compatible. I need a product recommendation, not a chipset. [06:12] th^^: compare nautilus to the default xfce file manager, you will be shocked [06:12] Does anyone here make different users for different tasks? I use my computer for two things work and entertainment, would it be wise to create users accordingly, or is this overkill? [06:12] I use Xfce :) [06:12] eeproms: my nautilus is taking 13,9mb. acceptable [06:13] I like the look of Icewm [06:13] Firestorms, I see no reason why you'd need to have two separate accounts for different tasks. [06:14] DWL-g122 c1 is linux compatible charleyVarrick [06:14] unless your work data is very sensitivite [06:14] DLINK [06:14] then it makes sense :) [06:15] anyway, I still have to figure out why 10.04 sees my usb 3.0 card and the next day it doesnt [06:15] CharleyVarrick, As I said, I'm new, so I'm probably gonna mess my system up at some point, I would prefer I had a main account for work and an account to play about on... if you understand. Or maybe their is a different solution [06:15] Jaded, thanks, but it looks like it's not readily available any longer. [06:15] <[an]droidman> FireStorms: yes there is, making another partition for you to play with :p [06:15] * eeproms . o 0 (to be honest the whole usb system in 10.04 is flaky) [06:16] FireStorms: you can swap between the accounts pretty easily, anyway [06:16] Wow. Selling this computer. Sticking to the Mac where things work. Good riddance Linux. Thanks for the help, tho. Guys. [06:17] test the card in windows 7, the nec usb 3.0 card appears every time [06:17] so not a hardware issue [06:17] CharleyVarrick: i rather recommend win7 if you want things to work. macs suck :) [06:17] Anyone know a really good book on Linux? [06:17] !manual | FireStorms [06:17] FireStorms: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [06:17] FireStorms: depends what you want to learn [06:18] th^^, I like my Macs, thanks. ALso, they pay my bills. Win7 not bad, but this is off topic. [06:18] FireStorms: I know a really good ebook on the command line if you're interested in that. [06:18] I'm really into programming, I like to have control over my system, so I think I want to learn Linux from foundations [06:18] eeproms: saying I want to learn Linux is a bit like saying "I wan to learn history", Linux like history has lots of variety [06:19] MAcs.....*shudder* [06:19] books [06:19] FireStorms: saying I want to learn Linux is a bit like saying "I wan to learn history", Linux like history has lots of variety [06:19] FireStorms: use gentoo then, you'll learn a lot [06:19] you'll wait alot too [06:19] <[an]droidman> when the word "mac" is mentioned in #ubuntu, a puppy dies :( [06:19] i. Just want to give some positive feedback for once. The latest gstreamer library update is excellent. Even HD videos load faster than on M$FT's OS. Thank you so much for pushing this out. [06:20] FireStorms: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php Click on "Download it here" [06:20] lol, gentoo just teaches you how to compile a ricer machine it doesnt teach you Linux specifically [06:20] I learned a lot from using Arch. [06:20] But that was once I knew a good bit. [06:20] CharleyVarrick, really? how about a different revision other than c1? [06:21] gentoo doesn't really teach you anything except commands for portage [06:21] FireStorms: Get a nice lpic book, start with lpi 101/102 [06:21] eeproms, thanks [06:21] YUS! Found another stick of 128MB [06:21] <[an]droidman> 522 pages... [06:21] th^^: and the build flags [06:21] Hi [06:21] no [06:21] [an]droidman: It is good. You don't have to read it all, just what you want [06:21] I do diff orgfile newfile How do i apply entries in orgfile to newfile ? [06:21] th^^: and about partitioning [06:21] I don't want to swap distro, Ubuntu is good enough. Although it does come with a lot of crap I don't need. It would be nice to build it from scratch [06:22] FireStorms: LPI is the certification process for Linux, Ive done the 101 102 exams. I still get lost lol [06:22] <[an]droidman> rypervenche: oh i know, i dont need it really [06:22] <[an]droidman> just commenting [06:22] ubuntu from scratch. [06:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:22] FireStorms, that's why there's server edition for instance [06:22] [an]droidman: I printed it out for reference :) I go back to it from time to time. [06:22] Linux in a nutshell [06:23] that was my first Linux book [06:23] eeproms, That's just the thing I was looking for, thanks for the link! [06:23] then I got Shells by Example, best shell book around [06:23] every time gentoo ricer things he knows something about compilers just because he copypasted something into a bash envvar (USE FLAGS!), a puppy dies :P [06:24] th^^: lol [06:24] th^^: Gentoo the distro you use when you dont want to use a distro lol [06:24] th^^: its stil slightly more involved than the binary based distros, like ubuntu [06:24] gentoo = too much trouble [06:25] I ran Gentoo for 2 years, then I got into benchamring things and realised half my stuff ran slows than default installs [06:25] Debian is really nice :) [06:25] benchmarking* [06:25] i especially hate gentoo for compiling our game wrong every damn time =P don't compile things if you don't know how, pffh :P [06:26] and shipping it broken [06:26] debian is a good start [06:26] xpud rocks my world :) [06:26] same for ubuntu too though :/ [06:26] <[an]droidman> th^^: which one? [06:26] I started on debian, still think its the best server distro around [06:26] http://www.warsow.net/ === incidenc1 is now known as incidence [06:26] 6667 [06:27] theres apt-build if you want something like portege [06:27] I use Debian Stable for my servers, but I went up to Debian Testing for my main PC. [06:28] living on the wild side [06:28] <[an]droidman> th^^: looks really cool [06:28] [an]droidman: ty :) [06:28] Arch Linux was very nice. However, the whole AUR thing kind of made me miss Debian's repos. [06:28] <[an]droidman> th^^: im sure itll run really well on my laptop with pentium m 1.79 ghz and 2 gb ram, lol [06:29] [an]droidman: depends on gfx card ^^ [06:29] <[an]droidman> th^^: thats true [06:30] <[an]droidman> i forgot what mine was, i know its an intel one [06:30] Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with getting my ethernet card connection to work. I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Just transferred my HD into an old P2 box after my motherboard crapped out. Eveything is working except I can't connect to the network or internet. [06:30] ugh, well, i don't recommend trying gaming without ati/nvidia card, intels are useless :) [06:30] <[an]droidman> hence the reason all games run horridly on it [06:30] and intels drivers, especially on linux, are horrible [06:30] th^^: nariokart runs well on my intel POS gfx :D [06:31] ActionPa1snip: guess that's an accomplishment :9 [06:32] FireStorms: I've been thumbing through Linux Phrasebook by Scott Granneman, 2006.

Though this isn't an O'Reilly book many of that publisher's titles can be had digitally as well as in paper format. [06:32] and warzone 2100 [06:32] the drivers anyway lag a lot of thigs which i consider basic/essential :) also for open ati/nvidia drivers.. they will never be able to run any games until they implement at least vbo support :/ [06:33] ActionPa1snip: these are like saying "it runs solitaire" :) [06:33] th^^: still games arent they? ;) [06:33] <[an]droidman> "it runs minesweeper" [06:33] Hey all.

I accidentally tried to put my computer to sleep and it screwed up and I had to turn off my computer manually and now whenever I open chrome it says "Could not initialize login database." in the terminal and "Your profile could not be opened correctly. [07:28] Some features may be unavailable. Please check that the profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents." when I open it [07:30] hello everyone, who used gnome-commander, [07:30] I can't use smb button [07:30] which package I need install [07:33] fuzzybunny69y: you're probably better off when you ask that question in a chrome channel [07:34] MichaelKohler, I found out what was wrong [07:34] I just had to move my profile and let chrome make a new one then move my old settings back in [07:36] fuzzybunny69y: sounds reasonable since chrome knows which permission to give to the folder [07:37] In my sources.list file, can I combine the following two lines? deb http://... karmic main restricted, and deb http://... karmic multiverse [07:37] ... is the same in both of the above urls === tum is now known as Guest83129 [07:40] i have a wierd question about dmcrypt [07:40] I'm a newbie.

[07:45] Hi bunty [07:45] why can I only run "jackd -dfirewire" as root or with sudo [07:45] the user is in the audio group [07:46] i was thinking of not using separate partition for boot, swap, and home. what you think? boot is only needed for encrpted linux fs right? swap works as well as file than partition nowadays. and i figure mergeing home and root will save me overall space. i plan to keep most of my data on a separate partition anyway outside of that (ntfs). and home isnt really shareable with differnt linux distros, as you'll likely get little w [07:46] eird issues here and there. what do you think? [07:46] dijonyummy123, if you're considering this, ubuntu is not the distro for you [07:47] why not icat [07:47] it's a not a very hackable distro [07:47] dijonyummy123: sounds fine. Just plan partition sizes and you'll be ok. [07:47] go with gentoo or arch [07:48] Huh [07:48] or debian [07:48] ubuntu is as hackable as debian or gentoo imho [07:48] what about in ubuntu as ubuntu [07:48] ?? [07:48] It even uses same package manager as debian .. [07:48] that's about the only similarity :) [07:48] they've changed so many things my head hurts sometimes [07:49] yeah, so it is hackable by others or u mean u can hack with it? [07:49] dijonyummy123: use custom partitioning in the installer and you can setup as you desire [07:49] oh i've hacked it plenty [07:49] i just feel it's not the best distro for the job [07:49] so if I have it can u hack me? [07:49] it's a 1 user desktop os [07:49] whats the benefit of having separate home? if you dont put much in there? if you re-install new version ubuntu, you still have to reinstall apps. copying over the configs for old apps not good enough rigght? [07:49] anyone here using ffado ? [07:50] fr33: not necessarily.. here "hackable" means configurable [07:50] dijonyummy123, depends .. i ran a seperate hom and two ubuntu versions [07:50] because ubuntu latest -1 is abandonware [07:50] Icat: the custom partitioning option in the installer can do what is required [07:50] i remember having a problem with xmoto [07:50] icat: i agree that ubuntu might not be the best solution when trying to make linux run on say weird hardware XYZ or if one plans to re-install everything from scratch and booby-trap for security (as configuration file merging is not implemented?) but if 'hacking' is making different partitions i think its fine .. [07:51] icat: that can be tricky if ubuntu versions are diff say 10.10 and 11.10. or diff distro [07:51] settings->list of channels [07:51] dijonyummy123, i remember a particular problem i've had [07:51] i had /home on sda1 and then ubuntu 8.10 (old x drivers) on sda2 and ubuntu 9.10 on sda3 [07:51] one can always open shell and fdisk on the installer (if booting on cdrom?) [07:51] the two versions had a different version of a game "xmoto" [07:52] (-> very good control what gets done .. ) [07:52] but since $HOME was shared, they would overwrite eachother [07:52] and cause them both to crash [07:52] so unless you're expecting to reinstall a lot, a separate home is not needed [07:52] I'm having permission problems with the firewire driver I believe and yes I do have my user in the audio group. [07:52] backups are much more important [07:53] Icat: is there no argument you could send the app to use a different config folder? [07:54] Icat: separate home folder makes backups easier [07:54] anyway you can always zip everything up. mostly config files, so not that much space. and [07:54] ActionParsnip, I submitted a bug in launchpad and the package maintainer updated the 8.10 package [07:55] the thing is is you have a laptop and desktop, then you already have separate homes on diff pcs. you have to have a diff strategy to isolate the common stuff back that up, then copy to diffeent places. [07:55] dijonyummy123: Don't zip. Tar first, at least -- so you can preserve permissions [07:55] Icat: sweet :-) [07:55] tgz [07:55] you can diff directories [07:55] it doesn't care which partition it's on [07:55] just use rsync [07:55] I'm using the juju firewire stack. Kernel 2.6.39. How do I let my user "studio" have rights to the firewire device? [07:56] bunty, can you do ls -l /dev/raw* [07:56] Bunty: ask in #ubuntu+1 [07:56] ActionParsnip: And why is that? [07:57] ActionParsnip: she/he has never said she/he is using +1, maybe she/he just has a custom kern? [07:57] I don't have /dev/raw* because this is the new firewire stack [07:57] theadmin: its an oneiric kernel. Natty is .38 not .39 [07:57] do i need the boot partition to put grub on? or does grub go on the root [07:57] dijonyummy123: You can have a separate /boot if you want [07:57] theadmin: custom kernels cannot be supported here [07:58] dijonyummy123: If you do, I recomend it to be ext2 just in case [07:58] ActionParsnip: I see [07:58] !info linux-image oneiric [07:58] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.39.3.4 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [07:58] i see. can grub be put on the / partition? [07:58] lol @ only available for ... "all" ... [07:58] Is there a way to wake on lan to a xbmc server using a samba share on a mac ? [07:59] i mean can i put the "boot loader" on the / partition [07:59] dijonyummy123: Yes, just do not create a separate /boot [07:59] Bunty: you are either using a custom/3rd party kernel or Oneiric, neither are supported here [07:59] dijonyummy123: The bootloader goes to MBR as such, but grub's files will be whereever /boot points [08:00] im using the 2.6.39 kernel from the ubuntu kernel ppa [08:00] I was having teh same trouble with the generic 2.6.38 kernel that ships with ubuntu [08:01] the* [08:01] when i reboot, my keyboard settings become broken, to fix it i have been loading gnome-keyboard-properties doing a test (pressing the ' key) and then cloaing it, this fixes the issue till i reboot, is there a perminant fix?? [08:01] Bunty: then i suggest you ask in #Linux we don't support non-official kernels here [08:01] ie specify no mount point for /boot. i see i plan to dual boot windows, so win boot goes to mbr, then have linux boot go to either /boot partition, or / if no boot partition. does that sound alright. i read somewhere better to leave windows on mbr, and linux boot only on linux partition [08:01] theadmin: In a default Ubuntu install grub's boot sector and core.img will be installed to the mbr and post mbr gap, and /boot/grub/ (containing grub's modules and grub.cfg) is kept in the '/' partition. [08:01] dijonyummy123: ^^ [08:02] Bunty: or ask the ppa maintainer [08:02] what im trying to say is that it doesnt matter the kernel. 2.6.38 uses the juju firewire stack also [08:02] I can reboot and go back to 2.6.38 and come back and have the same problem there is no /dev/raw1394 to assign permissions to because it isnt used by the new firewire stack [08:03] dijonyummy123: You don't need Window's boot sector in your mbr to be able to dual boot, and it is highly recommended to install grub to the mbr. [08:03] Jordan_U: Who says there are no custom partitioning options? [08:03] theadmin: Not me... [08:04] i read that cuz they said if upgrade windows it will wipe out grub from mbr [08:04] dijonyummy123 it will, you just repair it after installing windows [08:05] i have had to do it many times [08:06] Feldegast: is there any shell script that can do that? I don't want to that manually all the times [08:06] Feldegast: you may be able to make a copy of gconf, then make the usual change then take another copy. Compare the two and use gconftool to run a set comma [08:06] Command at logon [08:08] MichaelKohler if you find one, let me know!

[08:13] ActionParsnip not yet....i am using kde, that is what is so strange, the kde tools do not fix it [08:13] ActionParsnip i will try it now [08:13] i can still boot multiple kernels without having a /boot partition right? also is it alright to upgrade the kernel outside of ubuntu updates manager? or highly likely that will cause other things to break [08:14] dijonyummy123 yes [08:14] Feldegast: i see the the setting will be in ~/.kde most likely [08:14] dijonyummy123: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootloader#Second-stage_boot_loader I often create a "/boot" partition at installation myself, do some reading to find-out if it would be the right thing to do in your case. One reason to create a separate "/boot" partition, as I understand, is when there is some concern that the boot files, otherwise in the "/" partition , would become ostensibly unusable if that partition were to fill c [08:14] dijonyummy123 i use the command line a lot [08:14] !info nagios [08:15] Package nagios does not exist in natty [08:15] ActionParsnip i will check both.....

[08:25] slack-m you can't tell it to....? shutdown - r now [08:25] - r or -r [08:25] or are you worried it will not come back up? [08:26] no, it should come back up [08:26] indeed [08:26] that would reboot for you [08:26] or sudo reboot [08:26] will do the same. [08:26] slack-m i would then try a different kernel [08:27] locked up [08:27] klown im already root [08:27] i dont need to sudo [08:27] k. [08:27] slack-m can i ask what remote system it is? [08:28] its a server in a datacenter, i can probably get them to reboot the machine, but i dont think thats gonna do much good [08:28] cause it was just rebooted [08:28] and after the reboot [08:28] this is what i have [08:28] sooo, rebooting would just land me right back here [08:29] lol, its nice reading the middle of the story..im sitting here wondering why u didnt just hold down the power button ;x [08:29] klown i skipped that step for obvious reasons ;-) [08:30] klown, i had mentioned it was a remote server in the begining [08:30] ;] [08:30] Feldegast, you think its the kernel [08:30] slack-m do you have access to the lights out manager or similar? [08:30] how do i downgrade the kernel a version or two? [08:30] slack-m: You should have the older kernel still present. Ubuntu does NOT remove old kernels [08:30] noo, no kvm hooked up and for somereason they messed up the setup on the power strip control [08:31] theadmin, ok, does it use lilo or grub? [08:31] slack-m you check what one is installed then install an older one and choose a different one at boot time or remove the newer one [08:31] slack-m: grub2 [08:31] 2.6.38-8-server [08:31] theadmin, im more familiar with lilo, how do I change the kernel with grub? [08:31] hey guys i have a home folder from my old hard drive that is encryted and i need to mount it to get the stuff i need off of it how can i do this i can't seem to figure it out after reading several sets of online instructions [08:32] slack-m: With grub2 it's very confusing, I hate it and can't deal with it. Ask someone else [08:32] o gawd [08:32] slack-m 1st see what is in the grub conf [08:32] Feldegast, good idea [08:33] * Feldegast started with lilo but been using grub so long, lilo has been forgotten..... [08:33] ok what file is the grub config? [08:33] slack-m: How can you ever look at /boot/grub/grub.conf if it hangs? [08:33] Feldegast, im a slackware user typically [08:33] theadmin, not everything hangs [08:33] just everything i need to do [08:34] there is no /boot/grub/grub.conf [08:34] slack-m looking for it [08:34] slack-m: Sorry, grub.cfg [08:36] slack-m: To select a kernel at boot hold shift to see the grub menu. [08:36] it is /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:36] Jordan_U: On a remote server? lol now [08:36] yes [08:37] lol [08:37] Jordan_U this is remote access only [08:37] slack-m: /boot/grub/grub.cfg will help if you need to edit the boot in livecd to get the real desktop. You should edit grub properly using its config files and update-grub to apply [08:37] yea, ill try that one Jordan_U [08:37] there is not /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:37] ActionParsnip, live cd? [08:37] how would i file transfer using pidgin? [08:37] slack-m is there a menulist file? [08:38] Feldegast, i think i saw taht [08:38] is there an easy to use ftp server for ubuntu like filezilla? easy to force ssl, easy to configure [08:38] theadmin: I assumed that the "telnet" connection slack-m was using was for a hardware terminal. [08:38] menu.lst [08:38] slack-m: run: sudo update-grub it will make one [08:38] slack-m: It's old grub then. [08:38] slack-m then you are not using grub2 i think [08:38] Jordan_U, no [08:38] anyone can help me? [08:38] slack-m: I can help you edit that one [08:38] theadmin, ok [08:38] cool [08:38] slack-m: However nobody else can, we no longer support any ubuntu versions with that :D [08:39] well [08:39] i just did [08:39] dist-upgrade [08:39] do-release-upgrade [08:39] is what i did [08:39] i remember how to, but i do not use it myself anymore [08:39] jaja_: using which chat protocol?

Or Compiz as a whole with all the standard plugins that come with default install. [08:43] frequency-rebel: Yeah, gnome3 breaks unity permanently [08:43] slack-m: And if you logged in remotely via telnet with anything but a VPN then it's safest to assume that your server is already compromised. [08:43] Oh that makes me sad :( [08:43] hey actionparsnip,. what is ur question anyway? [08:43] What about reinstalling the default Compiz with all plugins ? [08:43] frequency-rebel: you could tell the OS to reinstall a tonne of packages. It'll be slow and probably make a mess of your install [08:44] jaja_: scroll up [08:44] Yeah I figured it would come down to that. [08:44] I thought I would give Gnome3 a try [08:44] Not as good as it was hyped up to be [08:44] I actually prefer Unity over any DE out there. [08:45] frequency-rebel: unity isn't a DE [08:45] Just a Compiz plug in ? [08:45] frequency-rebel: Give it a try with Arch in a VM [08:45] what chat protocol,. im using pidgin internet mesenger but it didn't work for file transfer,. [08:45] frequency-rebel: unity is merely a shell [08:45] Oh [08:46] Yeah I am about to install VirtualBox to load up a few Guest OS's [08:46] So.. a reinstall is in need aye ?? [08:46] jaja_: yes but which chat protocol are you wanting to send a file over!? Msn? Yahoo? [08:46] frequency-rebel: Yeah, unfortunately [08:47] frequency-rebel: I beleive it is gtk3 [08:47] frequency-rebel: Which breaks things [08:47] in yahoo,.

[08:48] jaja_: then yahoo is the protocol. Pidgin has no protcol of its own. I don't use yahoo but others may be able to advise [08:48] The only thing I can see wrong with it is that you can not save any settings.

Both state the same information, however notify-sharp is an actual window I must manually close out of. Any assistance would be appreciated. (Just thought I'd add more details) [09:13] Has anyone here used Ubuntu One?

[09:18] I have attached a second monitor but randr is not allowing me to give it an ideal resolution setting, resulting in the screen not fitting the monitor [09:18] http://s4.postimage.org/5on8dtkg/Screenshot.png [09:19] how should I adjust this manually?

Can you type? [09:27] join ubuntu [09:27] hi there, im trying to install some software, but it keeps saying ive got duplicated sources.

[09:31] nitech: Find your Linux partition, mount it, chroot to it and, uh, the command I gave [09:32] AdvoWork: so you can safely delete the the ones in your sources.lilst [09:32] (or comment them out) [09:32] is it safe to install a 64bit version to my intel atom? [09:32] alvinPH: If it's 64-bit, yes [09:32] AdvoWork: or save [09:32] jussi, is that line 62,63,64? [09:32] alvinPH: If it's not it won't work [09:32] AdvoWork: yeah, 63 and 64 [09:33] i've search for arch. of atom n450 and it says its 64 bit but why does it also accomodates 32bit? [09:33] theadmin: when i run recovery i saw someting like that it can't clean up one of my partition [09:33] nitech: Hm... [09:34] AdvoWork: do let us know if it works :) [09:34] does it implies that intel atom n450 is a hybrid cpu? [09:34] I have to admit the Ubuntu One account is pretty smooth! [09:34] is there a way to run gdm with xtrace? [09:35] Does anyone else's family members give them a hard time for being a computer nerd? [09:35] that's ubuntu not computer nerd? [09:35] jussi, robin0800 still getting a problem unfortunately: http://pastebin.com/pCtW1bLR [09:35] hi, so i got a weird one. pressing enter in facebook on either browser (ff4 and midori) shuts down the pc. well, not exactly but it goes straight to the ubuntu bootscreen (dots) [09:35] theadmin: the biggest problem is that live cd is not working [09:36] theadmin: and i am not able to get in [09:36] alvinPH: Nah, 32-bit can work on any 64-bit machine [09:36] umm hi [09:36] How can I block youporn on Ubuntu? [09:36] damian_-_: it just goes to the splash screen or the pre environment? [09:36] it's really addicting [09:36] ubuntuisawesome: rofl [09:36] I am serious [09:37] if you can't block at least give tips to avoid porn [09:37] rreverant, umm what do you mean pre environment. [09:37] ubuntuisawesome: Okay... A firewall [09:37] AdvoWork: o.O - I have no idea about unsupported stuff like that. [09:37] irreverant, umm what do you mean pre environment. [09:37] !gufw | ubuntuisawesome [09:37] and how do u do a firewall [09:37] !info gufw | ubuntuisawesome [09:37] ubuntuisawesome: gufw (source: gui-ufw): Configure system firewall. In component universe, is optional. Version 11.04.2-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 197 kB, installed size 1252 kB [09:37] ahh, what the, didn't know that ;D thank you [09:37] oh i meant post - power on self test. [09:38] ubuntuisawesome: You just *know* you'll unblock it anyway when you start wanting it again [09:38] AdvoWork: the X server needs to be disabled to install ati drivers [09:38] too lazy [09:39] I don't think I will unblock [09:39] but I will block [09:39] theadmin: can you provide me some link which can help me [09:39] give me instructions [09:39] damian_-_: does it start the boot process all over? [09:39] theadmin; btw, what's the difference bet. 32bit & 64bit aside from speling :D [09:39] robin0800, how would i do that? [09:39] alvinPH: 64-bit supports 4+ gigs of RAM [09:40] irreverant, oh no. goes to the splash screen. and its only on facebook. i have to goto a tty and halt or reboot. [09:40] sounds like malware [09:40] theadmin: is that all? but why does ubuntu provides specific ISO for 64bit if 32bit can still be run on 64bit? [09:41] theadmin: is that all? but why does ubuntu provides specific ISO for 64bit if 32bit can still be run on 64bit machine? [09:41] alvinPH: If you don't install a 64-bit OS you won't get that advantage [09:41] alvinPH: same reason people drive porsches instead of ford fiestas [09:41] AdvoWork: ctrl + alt + f1 log in then sudo service gdm stop then run the ati installer [09:41] robin0800, jussi its a nightmare, just trying to get dual monitors to work [09:42] 64 bit can handle more RAM [09:42] and how do u block a specific site on Ubuntu [09:42] like www.youporn.com [09:42] don't click the link [09:42] AdvoWork: and the fglrx in the repositories + amdcccle is not working for you? [09:42] I was just asking [09:42] theadmin: ahh, the support for 4gig ram will not be accomodated by the 32bit installed OS in a 64bit machine? [09:42] ubuntuisawesome, search for a firefox addon [09:42] I use chrome [09:42] ubuntuisawesome: please dont specify the site - keep it famly friendly in here [09:42] if thats what you use [09:42] jussi, im not sure, ive tried that many things, could you go into further details for that? [09:42] Firefox is what my mom uses [09:43] same thing, there will be an addon for chrome [09:43] alvinPH: different architectures ...if you have a 64 bit processor go for 64 bit [09:43] alvinPH: Right [09:43] AdvoWork: install the fglrx driver from the hardware drivers utility. install amdcccle if its not installed. run amdcccle, configure :) [09:43] alvinPH: well...different architectures is probably ther wrong way to put it but...better than '4gb of ram' [09:45] theadmin: what if a 32bit OS is unknowned as 32bit and installed in a 64bit os with for example 8gig of ram, what will comeout in the system monitor? [09:45] 64bit machine* not os :D [09:45] alvinPH: Something like "3.2GB RAM available, 512MB in use" [09:46] theadmin: ahh, so the ram beyond 4gig will not be utilized by the system? [09:46] u know what I will do [09:46] alvinPH: Yah [09:46] I will put a chrome add on which limits your time on certain sites to 10 mins per day [09:47] theadmin: yess! i know now.. hehehe :D [09:47] jussi, when i goto hardware drivers it says: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system, but lspci shows: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] [09:47] and so if I use youporn for more than 10 mins it will be blocked for the rest of the day [09:47] ubuntuisawesome: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-856205.html has a quick how to to block certain sites [09:47] jussi, also aticonfig shows: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [09:47] ubuntuisawesome: please stop referring to the website by name, just use "a site" instead [09:47] AdvoWork: well theres the issue, you card is not supported by the fglrx driver. [09:48] these are what i like in ubuntu, there are many friendly guys t help you :D [09:48] ok so I followed the tutorial [09:48] What's Youporn's domain? [09:49] ubuntuisawesome: for the last time, please stop referring to non family friendly site by their name. [09:49] and also Dailymotion's domain? because I want to block that too it can contain porn [09:49] ubuntuisawesome: please stop spamming us with the name of the site [09:49] file what's site x's domain? [09:49] head_victim: he's just trolling you [09:49] I AM NOT [09:49] head_victim: don't feed the troll ;) [09:49] I am a porn addict [09:50] I jacked off a lot today [09:50] ubuntuisawesome: Sigh, watch the language too [09:50] jussi, what can i do? ive read a few things that say it is, but its listing it in screen resolution, plus its as if its there but not showing as i can move stuff over past my screen, but its blank if that makes sense [09:50] I *almost* believed he was trying to help keep a computer free from certain websites for a minute there. I figured help him out and make him go away might help. Apparently not. [09:50] AdvoWork: Im really not sure tbh [09:51] alvinPH: You should've received a PM from me fixing your misconception ;) [09:53] hi can anyone help me get the moving matrix wallpaper i had it before but cant remember how to do it [09:53] jussi, brb then gonna try a few things === johnm is now known as JohnM === JohnM is now known as johnm [09:57] Can i erase my ssd even if "sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb" tells me "Security: not frozen" and "Security: not supported: enhanced erase"??

[13:24] Fudgey, the question is : same pc same live cd but in different monitor in one run in another not [13:24] feijo, install "ccsm", create a new starter in Unity by right-clicking desktop -> new starter to start "ccsm" and enable the unity plugin, that should fix it [13:24] okenobi_, great [13:24] Incarus6: what does that flag in the widget does and what is the difference with rfkill I don't know, plus the rfkill showed that all were enabled [13:25] okenobi_, flag..?

[13:55] rinkukokiri, to answer your first question: empathy doesn't support pidgin plugins because it doesn't provide an api for that [13:56] well that's retarded [13:56] Incarus6, did u see the pastebin ? [13:56] no undernet server here? [13:56] no undernet server here? [13:56] so they replace a very useful multi chat program with one that basically sucks [13:56] JohnBim: No, this is Freenode.

[14:04] you're missing the point [14:04] has zero to do with mysql [14:04] it's to do with aptitude and how it's run [14:05] Incarus6, trying now... gimme a few secs [14:05] mysql-common is installed from apt, percona-mysql-common is a *.deb [14:05] Karen_m, Roger that. I certainly won't purport to be anything of an expert on mysql [14:05] Karen_m, Do they have a PPA for this package? [14:06] i'll just uninstall everything and reinstall it.

[14:08] The program 'aptitude' can be found in the following packages: [14:08] Buschel, that seems to be a vmplayer / windows related question [14:08] as if aptitude isn't installed...

[14:33] i need help with man fsck [14:33] fsck [14:33] edwardthefma, Mate, wassup? [14:34] im trying to make it check my hard drive [14:34] im relly new to linux [14:34] :( [14:34] edwardthefma, Are you doing this from a liveCD or liveUSB? [14:34] live cd [14:35] edwardthefma, Coolbeans - what partition are you trying to fsck? [14:35] im checking my moms pc that is crapping out on her [14:35] the whole thing [14:35] a windows part [14:35] edwardthefma, Well, you'd want to fsck a partition at a time...what's the filesystem on the partitions? [14:36] Ok...that's broad...are they NTFS or are they FAT32? [14:36] fat32 [14:36] fat32i think [14:36] fat32 i think [14:37] edwardthefma, Right oh mate...so then you'd do: sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdX (where X is the number of the partition you want to check) [14:37] ok [14:37] dose ubuntu hve a partion tool [14:37] YankDownUnder, yeah, i kinda closed that page when I noticed there wasn't any real information actually helping me (the 'help' tab helps me with wiki's not empathy) [14:37] edwardthefma, yes mate...it's gparted [14:37] i *think* an 'fdisk -l' should show all the hard drives in the system too, right? [14:38] rinkukokiri, I'll assume you read ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, right? ;) [14:38] and their /dev/sd[abcde…} is that right also? on the naming convention i mean [14:38] dgags, fdisk -l /dev/sda => that would show all the partitions on /dev/sda [14:39] s/their/they are [14:39] dgags, When you just run "fdisk -l" you're going to get a spill out of heaps of info - therefore, if you do it disk at a time, you get more pertinent information. [14:40] YankDownUnder, oh, and #empathy is no help either... as they "implemented it last week, it'll be supported in the next release of telepathy-haze" [14:40] looks like i'm SOL [14:40] umm hello? [14:40] lol [14:40] so, how does one show all the hard drives in the system, supposing there is more than one? [14:40] sylvos: hi [14:40] ahh ppl!! [14:40] lol [14:40] dgags: sudo fdisk -l is one way [14:40] rinkukokiri, Mate, yet another reason why I don't use Empathy, eh? Hehehehhehe [14:40] sylvos: whatup [14:40] nm just got linux :D [14:41] is there a better way, or some way that is more succinct? [14:41] now im just wondering how to get dungeons and dragons on here... [14:41] dgags, Well, if ya want a GUI, use gparted [14:41] sylvos: Dungeons and Dragons is not a computer game? [14:41] YankDownUnder: I'm a solaris guy, so command lines rule with me. [14:41] well canonical shouldn't include a barely supported chat client in it's distro [14:42] D&D died long ago with it's creator...sad, but true...it's illegal in most countries now... [14:42] theres a comp version [14:42] rinkukokiri, You're right. I'll shoot the developers in the head in the morning. [14:42] when there's a perfectly working one in the repo's that's very versitile [14:42] it just seems like they lax a lot on this distro === jetole_ is now known as jetole [14:43] rinkukokiri, What about using gwibber instead? [14:43] things broken (drivers and jockey), things included when users prefer other things (unity vs classic) [14:43] rinkukokiri, AH, you're using 11.04, right? [14:43] yea [14:44] rinkukokiri, Well, this is why I'm using 10.04 on my WORK machine and 10.10 on the rest... ;) [14:44] lol [14:44] "When you're riding on the cutting edge, expect to get cut." [14:44] ;) [14:44] so can anyone help or set me in a good direction playing some D&D to past time would be nice...lol thx in advance;) [14:45] heh, thing is, website says "Ubuntu is a fast, secure and easy-to-use operating system" i disagree [14:45] sylvos, Have you looked through the collection of games that's already available in the Synaptic Package Mangler? [14:45] considering you gotta fix everything once installing... that's not easy to use [14:45] that's actually borderline difficult [14:45] rinkukokiri, As I said, I'll shoot the developers and Mark Shuttleworth in the morning after I eat my spam and eggs, eh? [14:45] rinkukokiri: If you wanna chat go to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:46] YankDownUnder: please stop such talk [14:46] hmm so getting it to wore some time...k would tak [14:46] work* [14:46] !games > sylvos [14:46] sylvos, please see my private message [14:48] good heavens, the floodbots are multiplying... [14:48] when I update my ubuntu to version 11.04, my mp4 player can't be recognized. Anyone can tell me the reason? [14:50] is it possible to "hack" gthumb into being able to zoom images using the mouse wheel? [14:50] anyone know when the Ubuntu monospace font will be available? [14:50] chBoy, it's possible that "updating to 11.04" did it.. have you tried a fresh clean install? [14:51] rinkukokiri: No, I have not [14:52] your "mp4 player" is a hardware device right? [14:52] rinkukokiri:yes [14:53] what are you trying to use to manage it? [14:54] rinkukokiri: Is there some problem about the driver in 11.04? [14:54] can someone help me reinstall my wireless driver? It somehow went missing after I had my mousepad replaced [14:55] kays_: What card do you have? [14:55] rinkukokiri: I always download file from my computer to my mp4 player. [14:55] I'm not sure, someone had me look it up in the terminal last time... actually I think it was you :) [14:55] when you connect it, and run a sudo fdisk -l (lowercase L) does it show up? [14:55] I forgot to write it down [14:56] rinkukokiri: I can't find the mp4 player device, when I use this command [14:56] kays_: lspci -k will show us the hardware and what modules they're using. Can you read it and figure it out or pastebin it for me? paste.ubuntu.com [14:56] the problem is, even the wired isn't working now, so I can't just copy and pste, I'm on the internet on another computer [14:56] yeah, I'll find it ... [14:56] kays_: You've restarted I take it? [14:57] restarted? I turned the computer off, then turned it back on again with the ethernet plugged in... [14:57] kays_: Yeah.

Go to / and then go to /lib [15:00] Does ifconfig require sudo in 11.04 or do I have a broken install or something? [15:00] kays_: Does that make sense? [15:00] I'm also running gnome 3 if that makes adifference. [15:00] roasted: ifconfig requires sudo [15:00] umm... not sure where to enter /... in the terminal? [15:01] edbian, thats new though. I never had to do that before [15:01] kays_: Are you on 11.04 ? [15:01] yeah, the newest one [15:01] roasted: I don't recall if it's new or not but I have to do it on my Debian system so I'm guessing it's correct. [15:01] kays_: Using unity? [15:01] I think so [15:01] kays_: Open your home folder. [15:01] ok [15:01] kays_: See the up arrow at the top? [15:01] yeah [15:02] kays_: Press it until you can't press it anymore. At that point you'll be in the folder / [15:02] ok [15:02] kays_: now go to lib [15:03] I'm in lib, should i open the firmware folder [15:03] yes [15:03] /lib/firmware/b43 [15:03] Is there a b43 folder? (is there anything in it?) [15:03] the folder contents could not be displayed [15:04] kays_: Which folder? [15:04] kays_: firmware?

I think is so much :$ [15:07] antivirtel: this is the wrong channel, maybe try #netfilter channel [15:07] szal: -a and -A ? You're still watching my convo!

[15:07] hello [15:07] Hi, I'm looking for awesome conky, I've been on google for an hour and I didn't find anything (or stuff without installation notice), can anyone point me in the right direction? [15:07] antivirtel: Do you really need this server to listen on the outside NIC. [15:07] kays_: and what's the output? [15:07] antivirtel: that does not make your issue an ubuntu issue. [15:08] galerien, Um...have you tried the #conky channel? [15:08] there is a lot... I can't paste it because I have no internet on that computer [15:08] YankDownUnder, didn't know there was one, off I go ! thx [15:08] usr13 yeah, remote access over ssh [15:08] Is the command "hdparm --please-destroy-my-drive --trim-sector-ranges-stdin /dev/sdb" with all available sectors (o to ) dangerous for my hardware (or just for my data)?? [15:08] the first line is total 284 [15:08] how could I install an older version of GCC? [15:08] kays_: That's fine. As long as there is stuff in there. [15:09] antivirtel: How about limiting it to only one IP? [15:09] kays_: Can you run sudo modprobe b43 ? (that should insert the b43 module/driver) It turns the card 'on' and you should be able to connect to wifi networks. [15:10] antivirtel: ListenAddress ###.###.##.# [15:10] the program udo is currently not installed, should I follow the sintructions [15:10] kays_: sudo not udo [15:10] kays_: :) [15:10] oops, typo :) [15:10] :P [15:10] the ssh listens only on one IP and port... [15:10] antivirtel: Would that be a good option for you? [15:11] usr13 the ssh listens only on one IP and port... - I have no problems with listening :) [15:11] ok, done [15:11] kays_: It ran with no errors? Do you have wifi? [15:11] no errors, but no wifi signal [15:12] antivirtel: no, you can tell it to listen on any IP's on your machine [15:12] and I still can't open the b43 file [15:12] kays_: How are you checking the wifi signals? [15:12] ikonia yeah, I know, but I have only 1 address :D [15:12] clicking on the icon in the top right [15:13] antivirtel: My question was: How about having sshd answer to only one IP address? Is that an option? [15:13] kays_: No networks are listed? Does it say 'wireless networks' at all? [15:14] antivirtel: But, you can ignore a particular IP via iptables rule: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s ###.###.##.# -j DROP [15:14] not really usr13, I have co-workers too, I cant track their IP-s... (or keys) [15:14] wireless networks is blacked out and there are no actual netowrks listed [15:14] tittle bar is crashing with compiz. any solution? [15:14] wireless is disabled by hardware switch? in black in the menu [15:14] kays_: can you run this: sudo iwlist scan That scans for wifi networks via the terminal. Give me a brief description of what it outputs [15:14] antivirtel: Probably a whole sumbnet with this: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s ###.###.##.0/24 -j DROP [15:15] usr13 yeah, but look at my question: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14841 - its work when I place a rule to INPUT, but it doesnt work with fail2ban method [15:15] kays_: Do you have a switch? Flip the switch to on if it's set to off (I don't generally remind people to do that sort of thing) [15:15] antivirtel: Any time you have a server with ssh open to the internet, you have problems. [15:15] antivirtel: Let me look again. [15:15] ok, look at it usr13: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14841 [15:15] Hi friends, I was editing a script right now and I did rm -f script.sh accidentaly! so, do anyone know some program to recover it???? help!!! :( [15:16] usr13: antivirtel I agree! Script Kiddies [15:16] Geez! Im a moron... dell must have flipped the switch to off, and I didn't even think to check because I never use it. I feel like a moron! [15:16] I'm connected now [15:16] kays_: So it's working again! :D [15:16] Yay! [15:16] What about wired? [15:16] I have a corporate network NIS which says my login shell is "sh" I'd like to symlink that to bash, but when I do that, bash detects that it is running from the "sh" executable and changes its behaviour. How can I link sh to bash such that sh behaves just like bash, and not some sh-subset version? [15:16] edbian :D Script Kiddies? [15:16] kays_: the switch may have affected that [wired] too [15:17] yeah that explains why it didn't work at all [15:17] antivirtel: Script kiddies are people that run scripts (not understanding those scripts) that do annoying things like try to bruteforce your ssh server [15:17] kays_: hahaha Yay! easy fix [15:17] yeah, too easy. [15:17] Thanks, sorry for wasting your time :S [15:17] Hey All - Can anyone help me install a logitech usb headset? [15:18] edbian :O you may right, I haven't seen any Script Kiddies yet :D [15:18] antivirtel: They're annoying [15:18] :D [15:18] kays_: No worries. [15:18] thanks. again. [15:18] bye [15:18] kays_: Have fun with Ubuntu! :) [15:18] bye [15:19] Why did I install Ubuntu again? I'm using the same programs as on -cough- windows [15:19] because windows isnt free? [15:19] Hi friends, I was editing a script right now and I did rm -f script.sh accidentaly! so, do anyone know some program to recover it???? help!!! :( [15:19] tittle bar is crashing with compiz. emerald --replace is of no help. Any solution? [15:20] i need help to downgrade my current firefox 5 beta to the stable 4.1, I dont know why my machine downloaded the beta, must be a ppa... [15:20] with all my bookmarks and stuff [15:21] Hi friends, I was editing a script right now and I did rm -f script.sh accidentaly! so, do anyone know some program to recover it???? help!!! :( [15:21] gulzar: Do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? [15:21] ImDexter: export your bookmarks and keep a backup first, then run ppa-purge on the ppa that got you ff 5 beta [15:21] edbian: yes [15:21] gulzar: Open it and go to the 'window decorations' plugin. [15:22] edbian: yup [15:22] azelphur, only probloem is, i dont know wich one is it [15:22] gulzar: What is there in the 'command' box? [15:23] ImDexter: dpkg -l firefox* [15:23] edbian: it was compiz-decorator but crashed so I replaced it with 'emerald --replace' [15:24] edbian: but it is still not showing the bar [15:24] antivirtel: My suggestion to you is, (maybe you've already done this but if not...); Do not expose the server directly to the internet. Have a good linux firewall between it and the internet, (a NAT firewall server). Have that firewall server forward only what is needed to that server and do your security work on that firewall, (not on the server itself). [15:24] gulzar: emerald is a program that does what you want. It is old, deprecated, and no longer maintained. Do you want to use it anyway? [15:25] j [15:25] edbian: I just want the tittle bar back.......no problem with emerald (it can be removed). the original compiz-decorator was crashing so I used emerald [15:26] on firfox i have this weird issue. when i try pasting /logging into any site which has a login.php or post.php the page comes to be as a download or open with option on ubuntu firefox? any solution? [15:26] usr13 we have a small budget only :$ I cant afford it - I want to make only fail2ban work correctly [15:26] gulzar: It was crashing often? Perhaps compiz was crashing and not restarting. [15:26] jhala: server issue [15:26] gulzar: A side effect of compiz crashing is that metacity doesn't always replace it. Thus the title bars are not replaced. [15:26] antivirtel: I am not familiar with fail2ban [15:27] jrib: i have a 3g ppp usb modem. the same modem on windows doesnt give this error. [15:27] antivirtel: denyhosts was pretty easy to setup last I tried... [15:27] usr13 me neither [15:27] edbian: emerald always crashed except in Mint7 and 9.04......and it is again doing it...... [15:27] jhala: example? [15:27] edbian: so any solution? [15:27] jrib: like pastebin.com [15:27] gulzar: emerald is crashing or compiz is crashing? [15:28] jrib... I'll try it, 'cos fail2ban doesnt work :) - but at first I try to upgrade my lenny to squeeze :) - I'll try it, thanks [15:28] * BluesKaj doesn't understand the need for emerald or it's attractions ...desktop effects works well without complications [15:28] jrib: when i post and click on submit the page post.php i returned to be opened with gedit / save/ whatever [15:28] edbian: wait a second let me check other effects..... :) [15:28] gulzar: k [15:28] antivirtel: Does this server have root account enabled? [15:29] edbian: I am not getting desktop cube....... it is just a single workspace [15:29] jhala: go to preferences -> applications and see if anything is there [15:29] usr13 no... that is a very big security risk :D [15:29] antivirtel: If so, one thing I would do for sure is add line to sshd_conf: PermitRootLogin no [15:29] gulzar, You could rename your .emerald and .compiz and .config/compiz directories, restart compiz + emerald, and see what goes....? [15:29] edbian: water effect is also not working........ I think it is compiz which is crashing [15:30] usr13, I have the same line => double protection :) no root login, and no ssh root :D [15:30] gulzar: One workaround is to run compiz --replace& in a terminal. Can you do that? Does it fix the problem? [15:30] jrib: what should i see there. there are a few video plugins [15:30] jhala: for something related to php [15:30] edbian: tried several times....... but no solution [15:30] jrib : nothing [15:31] gulzar: You've tried that? What happens? [15:31] edbian: actualy I am not using gnome....... its too heavy .... I just installed xubuntu for [15:31] gulzar: That's fine. Thanks for telling me. [15:31] edbian: with the command the screen flickers.......and all same [15:31] jhala: are you sure it's not an issue with the connection itself? [15:32] gulzar: run ps -e | grep compiz do you see anything? [15:32] antivirtel: Fail2ban looks rather interesting. I like the idea of it. Would have to do more research on it tho. [15:32] gulzar, Have you tried renaming your .emerald, .compiz and .config/compiz directories and restarting compiz + emerald? [15:32] just rid yourself of all that useless sugar if you want a smooth deskop experience [15:32] Hi I have some SATA disk on the RAID controller and I want to mount it as a home partition. How can I do it? [15:32] * edbian uses compiz all the time. It is stable [15:32] jrib: all other sites and pages are opening [15:32] YankDownUnder: sorry.......I am doing it ....... [15:33] jhala: that doesn't rule it out though. Check the content-type that the pages are being served up as [15:33] edbian: it shows a long list [15:33] I'm more than happy using compiz + emerald => kinda been using it since it first appeared...have my nice 8 sided, um, cube, as it were...spread across two monitors...lovely that... [15:33] antivirtel: You could also set maximum tries to only 3, (I think the default is 6). i.e. MaxAuthTries 3 [15:34] gulzar: You need to kill every one of those using kill Each one is a running instace of compiz. We need to kill them all before we start a new one. (restarting will achieve the same thing) [15:34] jrib : yes i checked . there is no php at all [15:34] usr13 I have 4 in fail2ban, and 3 in ssh [15:34] edbian: Oh God! its a long list..........very long [15:34] jhala: this is not what I am concerned about. Try "curl -I http://pastebin.com/login.php" [15:34] but it has no effect usr13, if its ban doesnt work :$ [15:34] gulzar: killall compiz might help. Kills all processes named 'compiz' [15:34] Hi , my computer does not suspend and resume. I am using ubuntu 11.04. This has never worked for me. I would like to sort out this issue.. where do i look first ? [15:35] YankDownUnder, window dressing eyecandy to impress the innocent :) [15:35] antivirtel: Actually, that may be your problem. max tries probably needs to be set higher for fail2ban to work. [15:35] BluesKaj, Um...yeah...(and to make everything look like a Mac) - impresses my clients! ;) [15:36] antivirtel: Set it back to 6 and see if that fixes it. [15:36] how much RAM have ya got? [15:36] why usr13? It shows in its logs: "Ban X.Y.Z.S..." [15:37] * jrib sighs [15:37] also gives the rule wrote in the question: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14841 [15:37] antivirtel: I'm talking about the config file sshd_config [15:37] antivirtel: please stop posting that here [15:38] ok oCean [15:38] srih4ri, are you sure the note on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowto doesn't apply to your pc? [15:39] Algorith: reading.. thanks [15:39] jrib: got a cookie and 200 OK response [15:40] YankDownUnder: sorry.the system was out of work so need to log out...... [15:40] edbian: using the command freezed everything [15:40] gulzar: Which command. killall ? [15:40] YankDownUnder: how to rename the files? [15:41] edbian: yes..........I was able to click but no typing and no switching [15:41] usr13 It has no effect :$ [15:41] What happened to grub.conf and menu.lst ? After an update, I can't boot and I want to go back to the old kernel to see if that helps. [15:42] !menu.lst [15:42] gulzar: So right now you've restarted and everything is working fine? [15:42] !grub2 [15:42] 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) [15:43] !grub.conf [15:43] edbian: no it was same condition.......I again typed the command compiz --replace....... [15:43] Hmm.. i cant seem to get remote desktop to work on ubuntu.. how do i know that the server is running? [15:43] edbian: but again no tittle bar [15:43] craigbass1976: hold shift during boot to get the grub menu. [15:43] hallo, ich will ein jar Programm manuell installieren so das alle benutzer es ausfuhren durfen aber wo muss es in mein file system hin? [15:43] jrib: got a cookie and 200 OK response [15:43] YankDownUnder: how to rename the files? where are they? It is showing 'compiz-1' [15:44] bastidrazor, criminy... I was hitting delete and swiping across all the F keys. [15:44] brb... hopefully [15:44] I have 1.8GiB RAM and 2.0GiB swap.. should i resize the swap to 1.5xRAM to be able to hibernate as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowto says ? Wouldn't 2.0GIB swap do ? === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a [15:44] gulzar: YankDownUnder renaming .compiz and .emerald is a good idea. I suggest trying 'emerald' instead of 'emerald --replace' in the command box in ccsm and trying 'usr/bin/compiz-decorator' as well. [15:44] YankDownUnder: edbian: is there any other manager.......? [15:45] Looking for information on how to point 1 user desktop profile to mirror an admins desktop somehow by changing the root. [15:45] gulzar: compiz-decorator and emerald are the only two that work in compiz. [15:45] weirba: Just make their home a symlink to the root's Desktop. You will be annoyed with permissions most likely. What are you trying to achieve? [15:46] edbian: I want desktop effects no matter they are with compiz or something else>...... : ( [15:46] hi, which version(s) of ubuntu are compatible with the 2.6.34 kernel? [15:46] edbian: where is .emerald and .compiz? [15:46] gulzar: XFCE has some minimal desktop effects. To enable them run 'xfwm4 --replace&' and then edit the settings in xfce [15:46] gulzar: They are hidden folders in /home/gulzar/ [15:47] gulzar: Anything starting with a . are hidden. [15:47] Edbian I have tried using sabayon method of creating profiles for students and it doesn't work. I am trying to create a student desktop that students won't be able to delete. [15:47] edbian: right.......but insteas of compiz ....its showing compiz1 [15:47] weirba: You don't want them to be able to delete their own Desktop folder or home folder or? [15:47] gulzar: What is showing compiz? [15:47] hello guys, i donno where to ask this particular question, so if you know, please let me know where, I am just wondering if I'm allowed to use an mp3 file in my games or not. Is the file format licensed, do i have to pay any royalty fees? and how much/to whom? [15:48] edbian correct. Everytime they log out I want their desktop to go back to the orriginal settings. [15:48] edbian: there is no compiz directly........on is there under .config [15:49] freeloader: You could just use ogg. Right? [15:49] edbian: xfwm4 --replace& not working [15:49] weirba: You have control over 3 things. reading, writing, executing. Because deleting is a form of writing you cannot make a file that a user can write in but not delete. Does this make sense? [15:49] edbian: I think i need to replace the files [15:49] gulzar: Are you sure about xfwm4 ? [15:50] jrib: you therE? [15:50] usr13: i would need to convert from mp3 to ogg/wav but that wasn't my question, I was just wondering if it's possible, if it's not, i'll have to find another way, either use ogg or wav or whatever [15:50] edbian: I checked it again it worked but with an '&' [15:50] edbian: :)9 [15:50] edbian: I am OK with them adding files to their drive and folders, but I want to set up a desktop with certain icons that they cannot delete. We are looking at K-6 students who accidentally delete things all the time. [15:50] whats the difference between firefox-mozsymbols_4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1_i386.deb (24.7 MiB) and firefox_4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1_i386.deb (13.5 MiB) ? [15:50] edbian: my dream of using all the desktop effects is shattered.... :( [15:51] what are mozzymbols for? [15:51] edbian: "man chattr" "a attribute" [15:51] mozsymbols [15:51] edbian: reffering to "you cannot make a file that a user can write in but not delete." [15:51] llutz: Maybe you should help weirba. I'll look into that! :D [15:51] edbian: all effects works with Knoppix with Lxde~........... but no internet there so shifted to xubuntu......but still nothing..... pffffffffffff [15:51] gulzar: So xfwm4 is running right now? [15:52] edbian: yup! :) [15:52] freeloader: I don't really know what the legal implications are. I suppose it depends on the content of the mp3 more than how it was created. I don't really think it matters so much how it was created. [15:52] gulzar: And it has effects? [15:52] freeloader: But I think this discussion is beyond the scope of #ubuntu [15:53] hi, i get expecting SSH2_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY and disconnect when trying to ssh to an hp ilo2 (running mpSSH_0.0.1) since natty [15:53] bastidrazor, thanks. I booted to another kernel, but still can't see anything. Everything but my eyes are working though, which is good. And the kernel was held back anyway (I just found out by ssh-ing in) [15:53] usr13: the mp3 that i'm getting is under creative commons 3.0 [15:53] I tried to install ant, but it wanted to install gcj. I don't want to use gcj, I want to use openjdk. [15:53] edbian: I was told that I could point a users desktop to the admins through modifying the root or something like that. Does that sound familiar at all? [15:53] usr13: 100% agreed, that's why i said i donno where to ask this question, so if i can be referred somewhere else, then that would be great [15:54] craigbass1976: you can install the newer kernel if you want.. 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' will pull in the kernel.. not that that is a solution but it might help [15:54] weirba: I don't know what they mean by 'root'. But if you rm their Desktop folder and create a symlink. ln -s /root/Desktop /home//Desktop should do it. I'm not sure what llutz was explaining. [15:54] breakpad symbols, what does that do to FF? [15:54] bastidrazor, no, lucid is good, and the kernel isn't the problem [15:55] weirba: Then they have a folder (Desktop for them) that secretly points to root's Desktop folder. [15:55] craigbass1976: dist-upgrade will not change distro's. [15:55] hey guys , I'm tring to install ubuntu but it gives me an error that the CD might be broken .... is there a way to make a net install from ubuntu live ? [15:55] edbian: Thanks I think that is what they were trying to say. They didn't give me the info like you did so I will give that a try. [15:55] lesce: no [15:55] weirba: sure [15:56] ikonia: or from a usb stick ? [15:56] use wubi [15:56] !!!!!!!!!!!! [15:56] bastidrazor, I thought that would bring me up to the next distro [15:56] lesce: yes you can [15:56] hey iam using xchat on Ubuntu 11.04, i cant close xchat from it, the process is running even if i close xchat window [15:57] gulzar: So the reason you don't have title bars using compiz is because of the 'command' line in the window decorations plugin. [15:57] lesce: you cannot use the livecd to do a net install [15:57] lesce: the Xubuntu I am running right now is installed on USB [15:57] craigbass1976: nope, it'll update your current packages to the latest available in the repo for your current distro.. also it'll allow you to install automatically held back packages [15:57] edbian: most probably.......but as such it never worked except in Mint7 === akhld_ is now known as AkhlD [15:58] edbian: thats why I shifted to sfce [15:58] gulzar: but i want to install ubuntu on my hard drive from my live cd using the sources from a usb stick :)) is it possible ? [15:58] gulzar: try different commands in there. /usr/bin/compiz-decorator or emerald without the --replace [15:58] edbian: *xfce [15:58] gulzar: Sure [15:59] Hi folks, I've had 4 X crashes since upgrading to Natty, I have Xorg.0.log files with segfault traces. ubuntu-bug xorg directs me to seek tech support first, should I do so, or should I file a bug in launchpad with my trace data? [15:59] Hmm.. i cant seem to get remote desktop to work on ubuntu.. how do i know that the server is running? [15:59] Of note, the system was rock-solid under Maverick, so it's not a hardware problem I think [16:00] HI [16:00] lesce: if you want complete installation from USB use Unetbootin or StartupDiskCreator (built in) to coply the CD/DVD on usb and install.......and if you have software on usb you need to add it as source form synaptic === shindu is now known as irokr [16:01] After tinkering around in sound settings, i finally made my sound work somehow. Anyhow, the problem now is that sound is TOO low... In windows 7 i should blast my ears off including my neighbors at this volume. Any suggestions? [16:01] gulzar: i can't boot up from my usb stick .... i have a macbook [16:01] edbian: no dear! no effect as such not even desktop cube is working...........pffffff I should remove them or shift to lxde [16:01] roadmr, installing or changing the OS is when you will more likely run into hardware problems [16:01] edbian: :) [16:01] LekeFly, how remote? Lan remote or internet remote ? [16:01] BluesKaj: Lan [16:02] hi [16:02] hm, im at a friend, she did just an update. and rebooted. and now she lost the UUID of her / partition [16:02] lesce: I feel like laughing (actually laughed).........MacBook.......don't know what made you buy it....leave it...ummm first check the Md5sum of CD ... [16:02] hi, quick question. I'm running Karmic on a server. I want to use rrdtool but version in karmic doesn't have some command line switches i need. So i though i could install newer packget from latest ubuntu version. how do i do this for a specific package without upgrading the entire system? (it's a box i don't have physical access so i don't want to do kernel, etc upgrades, until further options arrive) [16:02] LekeFly, have you tried smb or ssh ? [16:02] Hello all, I know I should try to look this up first but I have not had time, after the recent upgrade on to the Linux Kernel my wireless will not connect, if I boot with the previous kernel it works fine anyone have an idea why? [16:03] timposey: google [16:03] lesce: is md5sum is Ok ? [16:03] assink: don't suggest that here, thank you [16:04] oCean: or ubuntu forums [16:04] scroogle [16:04] whatever you wanna use [16:04] BluesKaj: SSH works === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [16:04] oCean: ? [16:04] assink: that neither, you don't tell others to just 'search ' [16:04] OK OK [16:04] siavoshkc: ? [16:04] ALSAMIXER => SELECT DEVICE => INCREASE VOLUME :D [16:05] lesce: r u there? Sorry for that comment on MacBook :) [16:05] so, any chance i can upgrade couple of packages to newer distro version, without upgrading the entire system? [16:05] nm [16:05] gulzar: :) np , md5sum /dev/cdrom ? [16:06] nomad_man: no, you can try to find a PPA for your package(s) but mind you that it's unsupported 3rd party software [16:06] oCean: and im just iritated that a upgrade can let your machine loose UUID's this is the second time it happens here [16:06] lesce: yup! md5sum /path/to/file [16:07] lesce: with file extension if it is .iso [16:07] oCean: so, i can pin an older package but, but i can't do the reverse and upgrade to a newer? [16:07] BluesKaj: Any ideas? : ) [16:07] nomad_man: exactly, it would bring breakage [16:07] assink: i understand, but still you can't tell others just to google it. [16:07] LekeFly, one can open folders on netoeked pcs if you use -X command when ssh-ing into another lan pc , ssh -X user@ipaddress [16:08] gulzar: then i'll have to reboot because my iso file is on the mac partition [16:08] oCean: well, not if the dependencies are very small [16:08] networked [16:08] lesce: Ok...... wait... [16:08] oCean: as pinning can also introduce borkage :) [16:08] nomad_man: agreed [16:08] how do i kill dpkg? [16:08] oCean: so, there must be some other justification, or it must be possible :) [16:08] tried kill dpkg [16:09] lesce: first check the md5sum of iso then match it from website......if same then 'Lets see' if not then also tell me/......solution is there :0 [16:09] nomad_man: technically it is possible (everyting is) but I would suggest against it [16:09] lesce: now you can restart [16:09] oCean: i dont know, this person just said by him/herself that he/she didnt search yet. so then its just odd to ask immediatly. i remember when i started 12 years ago with my debian installation. then im still nice now :) [16:09] i love the DIY mentality [16:09] assink, that is why I tried to explain myself, I am very aware that google exists, but there is a time issue here, but thanks so much for your help, if indeed that is what you were trying to do... after all that is what I thought this channel is for. Don't bother responding, I will not be here, it was not an excuse I only had a couple of minutes and don't have any idea what to google, again thanks but for nothing [16:09] LekeFly, the use the sudo kate or nautlius & , command to open whether it;s a text file or folder [16:09] BluesKaj: Last login: Mon Jun 13 17:08:32 2011 from x1 /usr/bin/xauth: file /home/x2/.Xauthority does not exist [16:09] also, how can i check the package version in different ubuntu distro version? i mean a convinient way aside of browsing repo manually/website services [16:09] then [16:10] assink: fair enough, but channel guidelines are clear on just suggesting google (or other search engines) [16:10] oCean: as most people would recommend against pinning. I guess i'm SOL and wil;l have to build it from the source [16:10] assink: you got the UUID change/removal fixed? [16:11] bah timposey left. way to go. [16:11] oCean: no, i just get in the initrd CLI [16:11] oCean: but i think i should try a fsckfs maybe [16:12] oCean: just came up in my head. it might that the partition superblock or something broke. is the only thing that would make sense to me [16:12] oCean: so, i guess you are not aware of upgrading a specific package to newer version without doing full upgrade. i guess i'll have to do more research [16:13] assink: I really have no clue as to why UUID is (seems to have) gone, but you can alway add it again [16:13] LekeFly, try to open /home/user with sudo nautilus [16:13] oCean: ah [16:13] assink: boot from livecd and fix the filesystems [16:14] oCean: thats what i was thinking about now yes. but strange thing is that this is the 2nd time after updating. i was wondering if that question came here before. of its a dual-boot btw [16:14] assink: currently checking the bugspages, but not finding anything relevant [16:15] BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/D6pHh5uZ [16:15] whenever I run conky it opens as a black screen with white fonts..... nothing to do... how to configure it? [16:15] oCean: just searched for hours too already yes, just doesnt make sense at all [16:16] ok, so I got this new monitor last week. Things worked fine, but I wanted a wider resolution. I disabled (I think uninstalled) the proprietary driver and then was going to reinstall it. When I rebooted, I still couldn't get the resolution that the monitor is capable of. I updated. Now I can't see anything. X is working (I can log in and fire up things remotely) but I'm blind if actually sitting at the box [16:16] LekeFly: you should be running it from X-windows env [16:16] nomad_man: huh? this is from mac to ubuntu btw [16:16] is it possible to simply disable a paquet without uninstall it if yes plz tell me the command to disable paquet and the commmand to enable it again thx [16:17] LekeFly: ah, i missed the question anyhow was just making a guess. The error message suggests that nautilus is not finding the X session display variable. [16:17] is ff 5 the default for 11.04? [16:17] i dont' believe sudo passes any ENV variables [16:18] keyboard and mouse are unresponsive as well [16:18] laumonier: packages are usually cached on local system you should be able to re-intsall it without downloading it [16:18] nomad_man: ideas how to fix it? [16:18] LekeFly: are you running gnome? [16:18] LekeFly: or kde? [16:18] so with a apt-get remove i can reinstall paquet wihout download it?

Mac is BSD based so in theory hsould work. without any remode desktop management software [16:25] gulzar: it says something like the CD might be faulty or the hard disk ... [16:25] gulzar: Error 5 .... [16:25] LekeFly: but it just refuses the connection. so ther eis probably a few things happening here. either firewall configuraiton or daemon is not running [16:25] andrenkov: then burn the CD again with LOWEST possible speed......

[16:40] jrib: content-type . there is no php. [16:40] phox_: ofcourse its possible [16:40] phox_: you should start X with a music player [16:40] jrib: but curl returned 200 OK [16:40] How can I determine what display resolution {in DPI} my GNOME 2.32.1 assumes? [16:40] jhala: what is it [16:40] LekeFly: any luck? [16:41] assink: Ok, how would I go about doing that? Install server version, and then install spotify from there and make it auto start? [16:41] bullgard4: for fonts gnome always assumes 96 dpi === KolakCC is now known as KolakCC|ExamsOrS [16:41] phox_: you would probably play around with init.rd and your run level configurations. you can configure what starts at what runlevel [16:41] bullgard4: xdpyinfo mayb.e [16:42] phox_: what nomad_man sais :) [16:42] nomad and assink: ok, ill look into that. thx === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [16:42] phox_: it's one big constructor. which makes it fun :) [16:43] phox_, create a special x session in /etc/X11/ and set that up to auto-login [16:43] does anyone here use gnome 3 with ubuntu?

[16:44] weirba: you can probalby change the owner/ship permissions on the ~/.Desktop [16:44] escott: I want to create a desktop profile and not allow any user without a password to modify it [16:44] jhala: this is not what I am concerned about. Try "curl -I http://pastebin.com/login.php" [16:45] Does anyone know why when I create a chrome application shortcut, it doesn't show up as its own window in the unity panel?

[16:45] jrib: Content-Type: text/html [16:45] weirba, you should be able to set permissions for group to wrx and permissions for others to rx [16:45] Vanadis: loffice.bin, where did you get that ? [16:45] jhala: good. Try clearing firefox's history and cache [16:45] i want to install ff 4 alongside my ff 5, tips please? [16:45] braiam, for any known reported bug you can try searching in launchpad [16:46] ImDexter: firefox 5 isn't out [16:46] weirba, like a temp session they log in and then it gets reset on the next load. usually one would do this with some kind of read only /home and a read-write unionfs on top of it. a simpler way may be to have two directories in /home one for guest and one for guest-template and modify the logout/gdm scripts to rm -rf guest and cp -r guest-template guest [16:46] jrib: done [16:46] ikonia, my machine uses ff 5 as the default, Id prefer ff 4 [16:46] jhala: does the issue persist? [16:46] ImDexter: no it doesn't, firefox 5 isn't out [16:46] jrib: yes. [16:46] ikonia, my machine uses ff 5 as the default, Id prefer ff 4 [16:46] jhala: experiment with a different browser [16:47] ImDexter: it doesn't, firefox 5 isn't out [16:47] jrib: on opera also same problem [16:47] ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using [16:47] escott: I like the idea. How do I go about it. I am wanting students to see a desktop but if they delete the icons on next load they reappear. [16:47] ImDexter, i'd install ff 4 from the ppa and synaptic, and use the binary to install ff5. they'll be separate that way [16:47] jhala: create fresh new user. Does the issue persist? [16:47] phox_: something like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5490861/how-do-i-automatically-start-an-application-that-needs-x-in-linux [16:47] ikonia, ever heard of an alpha?? [16:47] ill try that 1983 [16:47] mrwizeguy1983: yes, it's not out yet [16:47] mrwizeguy1983: How do I go about setting permissions to a desktop. I think what you say is what I would like to try. [16:48] funny ikonia i've got a version of firefox 6, it's called nightly [16:48] phox_: but without the login, imo, you will need to read the docs for that [16:48] jrib: i pasted as anonymous [16:48] !permissions | weirba [16:48] weirba: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [16:48] jhala: I mean ubuntu user [16:48] mrwizeguy1983: I'll repeat again - it's not out yet, there your ubuntu OS will not be using that as "default" as ImDexter suggested. [16:48] i see ikonia, now you know my machine better than me, Im seeing allucinations [16:48] weirba, the other guy might have had a better idea, but for doing literally what you asked for, you should be able to use the chmod command. if you want the user themself to not be able to change anything then you need to use chown to change the owner of the directory [16:49] nomad_man: thx [16:49] so, i can pin an older package but, but i can't do the reverse and upgrade to a newer without full upgrade to a sys? [16:49] ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [16:49] ImDexter, ignore ikonia seriously, i've had an alpha version of firefox 6 on my windows 7 as well as ubuntu for at least a month [16:49] ubottu: Thanks [16:49] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [16:50] jrib: i get IOError: ('http protocol error', 0, 'got a bad status line', None) when i try pastebinit -i [16:50] http://www.pcmediacenter.com.au/forum/topic/44458-mythtv-recordings-downloaded-onto-your-iphoneipod-touch-via-wifi/page__pid__318661#entry318661 [16:50] mrwizeguy1983: Thanks I will do some research on chmod and chown [16:50] Am i doing it the hard way? [16:50] weirba, I would look at the livecd and see how it works (I assume it uses some kind of unionfs) or take a look at edubuntu they may have what you need out of the box. google for ubuntu kiosk and you should get lots of results [16:50] ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [16:50] weirba, i dont think chmod'ing the ~/Desktop folder will do what you need. [16:50] , the thing is, I dont know how it got there, must be a ppa, but I cannot figure out which one: Id like to revert, or to install alongside this curret ff5 the stable ff4 to have all my add ons working [16:51] ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [16:51] escott: I actually have edubuntu and what they have out of the box doesn't work anymore. It was sabayon. [16:51] ImDexter: ubuntu 11.04 comes with ff4 as default [16:52] IdleOne, did you recieve my pm?

[16:52] Jrekko: what's up? [16:52] During installation, it gets stuck while loading [16:53] at the part where there are those dots [16:53] phox_, meaning sabayon doesn't work with unity/11.04? [16:53] weirba, ^^ not phox_ [16:54] Jrekko: at the very first menu, maybe try one of the options that come up when you press f6? [16:54] Jrekko: what kinda hardware is it?

[16:59] Jrekko, when you are still at the plymouth splash screen (with the dots that change colors) you can press the up arrow and see text messages. one of those may indicate the problem [16:59] i took off the 'quiet splash' thing [16:59] Jrekko: ok, can you try rebooting and hitting f6 at the "try ubuntu, install ubuntu" etc screen; and pick acpi=off, noapic, and nolapic? [16:59] and it seemed to freeze when it began 'swap' ? [17:00] i already tried all of those [17:00] nothing worked [17:00] Jrekko: wait a sec, did it install, or is it the live environment that's failing? === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [17:00] there doesn't seem to be anyone home in #gnome [17:00] just freezes after like 2 minutes, doesnt install [17:00] anyone know a place to get some info on gnome 3 other than #gnome ?

[18:16] lucidguy: 'source ./your-script.sh' (might not be what you're looking for though, but give it a try) [18:16] krnl: you have to configue nginx correctly....it starts as root, then drops privilegs to a user...it needs to be confiigured....thats the common way all services use/should use [18:16] lucidguy: you also don't need to export it, iirc [18:16] lucidguy, you want to run some code that is in a variable?

[18:25] lucidguy, .bashrc is sourced by profile. if you don't source a separate bash instance is started to run the script. it is that instance that gets the variable exported in its environment [18:25] andycc: How does that explain scripts within /etc/profile.d/ [18:26] escott: understood .. same with /etc/profile.d? [18:26] hi [18:26] escott: as in the scripts within /etc/profile.d/ I noticed those scripts retain their variables globally also. [18:26] lucidguy, http://ss64.com/bash/period.html [18:27] hai all, i'm Having Issues playing full HD Video's (1080p). I have a nvdia gfx card and i think latest drivers, using vlc player. It;s a GT 430 [18:28] lucidguy, ? [18:29] In 11.04, when I mount the windows partition on my RAID1 configure hard drive it comes up as /dev/dm-2 instead of /dev/mapper/isw_blah like all the other partitions on the drive. It used to be /dev/mapper/... before 11.04. Is this a bug others are seeing? [18:30] lucidguy, if you want to see how it all fits together just read /etc/profile and follow the trail. you will see everything is source or "dot-spaced" which is the same [18:30] Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help me disable the power button. I've edited /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh and that script will run on button press correctly, but a window still pops up warning "This system will automatically shut down in 50 seconds" which I can not seem to disable === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [18:30] Hey guys, I got a problem with my arrow keys: from time to time, I can't use them for the functions they are desgined for, e.g. navigating the workspaces or reinvoking the last issued command (if I then use the up key in a terminal, it takes a screenshot). Any ideas? [18:30] escott: thanks .. will check it out. [18:30] SSChicken, check gnome-power-preferences thats probably the source of the gui [18:31] hi. I'm having a problem getting vsftpd to work, but I can't login with the user I created for this purpose (530 permission denied). I do get asked the password if I use the user specified in the userlist-file (userlist_deny=no), but not if I use any other user - however I can't login [18:32] escott, I have but unfortunately the only options are: Aske Me, Shut Down, Hibernate, Sleep. No option for 'nothing' [18:32] escott, can u look at my question [18:32] SSChicken, there may be a way you can disable the gnome-power daemon [18:32] Hi. Whenever I start my computer up, it seems like my settings are unsaved... Launcher icons are there when I said not to keep them, and I need to enter my password for a keyring even though I told it to remember. [18:33] But most importantly, the launcher icons shouldn't be there. [18:33] nifelan, I'll assume you've read through: http://www.silurian.com/sitevigil/help/SVH316.htm ?? [18:33] When I restart unity using unity --replace, the icons that I don't want come back. [18:33] yo [18:33] A_J: you *think* latest drivers? Search for "additional drivers" using the Unity launcher and see if the proprietary Nvidia driver is installed? [18:33] So it's as if I never unchecked 'keep in tray' even though it shows as unchecked. [18:33] Any thoughts? [18:33] escott, Killing gnome-power-manager seems to have done the trick. Thanks! [18:34] andycc, where is it located ? [18:34] A_J: just hit the "windows key" and type "additional drivers" [18:34] A_J, saw your question. don't have nvidia, and don't know how to help you. please don't ask people to look at your question, if someone sees it and knows the answer they will respond [18:34] ok escott ty [18:35] andycc, windows key does nothing :( [18:35] A_J: might be worth mentioning that I don't have an Nvidia card either, so I don't know the exact steps. [18:35] Anyone know anything about Unity? [18:35] Where does it store configs? [18:35] Launcher icons? [18:36] min|dvir|us, the keyring password probably does need to be entered every boot. there is no safe way to secure that across boots [18:36] YankDownUnder: err, no. but I fail to see how that page could help [18:36] * YankDownUnder hates Unity with more than a passion [18:36] escott: It says 'automatically unlock on login'. [18:36] But that's OK. [18:36] It doesn't bother me that much. [18:36] I just want these panel icons gone. [18:36] A_J: then you're probably not using Unity. Do you have two panels on the screen (top and bottom)? If so, the top panel should have 3 menus. Select System -> Administration -> Additional Hardware and see if any drivers are listed and/or installed. [18:36] andycc, makin a SS one sec [18:37] nifelan, I can't help you if you're not willing to read up on your program and issue mate. [18:37] andycc, : http://lulzimg.com/i22/433c5a.png [18:38] beli: you mentioned copy protection, is there no way to mount a DVD in ubuntu 10.10? I know it'll take a data disc, just refuses to see any storebought DVDs [18:38] YankDownUnder: but I don't use site vigil. My problem is with configuring vsftpd and things related to this? [18:39] lucidguy andycc You should never define bash veriables in caps because you may just override the enviromental vars. There are tons of them ie HOME HOST LOGNAME etc. Take a look in term with $ printenv [18:39] min|dvir|us, i would check that gconf permissions are ok, that would probably be where all these options are stored [18:39] [* *| NOTICE |* *] ON JULY 1ST YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO CONNECT TO FREENODE UNLESS YOU ARE USING SASL!!

Have you tried playing the video with Ubuntu's default movie player?

Where is the xterm or gnome terminal application located? [18:44] kleanchap: Accessories [18:44] Hi there. Can anyone shed light on what kworker is, why it spawns so many processes, and why it causes so many kernel wakeups? I know it was introduced recently in the newer kernel build but I am unable to find any real information on what it is, what it's for, and if I should be concerned about the previously stated issues with it. [18:44] no_face, it should run well [18:44] kleanchap: just hit the windows key and search for Terminal, if you're using Unity. [18:44] it does [18:44] i want a new pc [18:44] YankDownUnder: I was hoping that anyone could help me with my issue since I didn't find any information on why the login fails. The userlist seems to be valid - after all, other users get rejected before asking for a password. I've created the user, a group and set the home directory for the user....

For Applications, I am seeing "Media Apps" "Internet Apps" ......etc [18:45] nifelan, I've tried to point you in the right direction, however, your request is not really OS specific...therefore, I can only tell you what I can tell you mate... [18:45] hmm.. Why do all linux distros feel so ugly and unusable? :S I love Ubuntu (somehow.. classic anyways, unity is a no-go) but I always end up booting to windows because Ubuntu feels so... horrible to use [18:45] kleanchap: just type terminal in the search box [18:45] A_J: this isn't Windows, you don't have to reboot after doing something as basic as installing a bunch of codecs [18:45] no_face: find a motherboard with the latest chipset, and build up from there you'll be able to upgrade for a year at least doing that [18:45] kleanchap: ah you're using unity :-) [18:45] no_face join #Ubuntu-offtopic for that [18:45] no_face: First step is coming up with a list of what you do with your machine and what you want to do. That will determine the type of machine you need (high end, or low end). After that, check for what's in the box and see if the items are supported by Linux. [18:46] andycc, i thought so.. tbh i'm finding linux a tad pain in the ass [18:46] mr_chris, http://lwn.net/Articles/403891/ [18:46] server / gaming [18:46] YankDownUnder: I do think that it is os specific. After all, vsftpd is a unix ftp server and I'm trying to get it to run on ubuntu (which in turn also works a bit different than other OS)... [18:46] *BING* that was the catch-phrase I was waiting for => "Ubuntu feels so horrible to use"...yes...now for article...thanks for that... [18:46] no_face: those 2 don't exactly mix super well... [18:46] andycc, nop yet framing [18:46] no_face: gaming.. linux... *chuckles* [18:47] A_J: it's just different. You might want to go through the Ubuntu Help to get accustomed a bit.

Any ideas? [18:47] andycc, i did go through.. [18:47] YankDownUnder: lol, glad I was able to help [18:47] no_face Roll with Debian Squeeze 6.0. Grab a 2.6.38 kernel from Debian (no blobs). If you want VT-d VT-x and AES then a Sandy Bridge 2600. Use the internal GPU since there are no blobs needed. [18:48] nifelan, vsftp is secular in it's configuration and usage...they're quite specific about using THEIR way to do things...and you've not poured over the docs and the site? [18:48] with DVDs having copy protection, is there no way to mount a DVD in ubuntu 10.10? I know it'll take a data disc, just refuses to see any storebought DVDs [18:48] time for my daily pipe -.- [18:48] !dvd | chair_ [18:48] chair_: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [18:49] chair_, and nothing prevents you from mounting the dvd. the css encryption is inside the vob stream [18:49] andycc, i had asked advice at the nvdia channel for the card, before buying they said it should do it well [18:49] chair_: libdvdcss [18:49] it would be a hobby server, and i like playing cod 4 and eve on my ubuntu pc [18:50] A_J: so it still doesn't work? If so, I'm out of ideas. Might be your graphics card after all. What is your "issue" after all? I assumed it's choppy video, am I right? [18:50] no_face: CoD4 on Ubuntu? [18:50] escott: im having serious issues mounting it tbh, it sees a data CD, just not any DVDs [18:50] test [18:50] yep [18:50] phox_: test succeeded [18:50] yes andycc framing video's. it Manages 720p well but not 1080p [18:50] can anybody see what i write? [18:50] chair_: is it a dvd drive [18:50] works great [18:50] I have ubuntu 10.04 w/ GNOME desktop. Last night I installed k3b and now whenever I use svn I get KDE Wallet prompts. How can I remove KDE Wallet ? [18:50] yes celthunder [18:50] no_face, cod on linux O_o [18:50] phox_: no [18:50] yes [18:50] phox_ yes [18:51] no_face: can't see how that would be possible o_O [18:51] playonlinux [18:51] A_J: mkv isn't exactly the fastest format to decode, if I remember correctly. [18:51] chair_, it should auto mount in /media/DVD_TITLE if it isn't it might be a dvd region encoding problem? [18:51] dwayne: apt-get remove kde-wallet or whatever the package is [18:51] no_face: interesting, taking a look [18:51] andycc, your saying it can be a processer bottleneck ? [18:51] i have a 3.0ghz p4 [18:52] escott: that'd be wierd as it's an NTSC dvd bought in america, something in settings somewhere on ubuntu im missing? [18:52] A_J: probably. Although all the video rendering should be done by your graphics card's own processor. Then again, Nvidia cards don't exactly have the best Linux drivers. [18:52] argh [18:53] i bought a nice screen for hd :( [18:53] A_J: try searching for "vlc nvidia vdpau linux" or something like that on google. [18:54] escott: as far as the RestrictedFormats go, ive done that, im just at a loss on understanding why I cant even see the DVD (no media) [18:54] andycc, involves some complicated stuff [18:54] chair_, that i dont know. mounting shouldn't pose a problem. have you tried to mount on the command line [18:55] escott: /etc/fstab lists '/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0' [18:55] chair_, take that line out and let the automounter handle it [18:55] andycc, can u have a looksi here : http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=53928&f=13 [18:56] I had to add that in actually [18:56] Before, automount did nothing [18:56] A_J all Nvidia card after the 8800 should have CUDA. This will render your video etc on your GPU. If your into video stuff I wrote a script that will pull the daily gits of ffmpeg, x264 etc and fix all that up. http://pastebin.com/NHXrsBxm [18:56] left speaker not working in ubuntu 11.04 [18:56] A_J: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037625 (mentions something about installing the "vdpau-va-driver" package, try searching for that in Software Center) [18:56] I got a problem with my arrow keys: from time to time, I can't use them for the functions they are desgined for, e.g. navigating the workspaces or reinvoking the last issued command (if I then use the up key in a terminal, it takes a screenshot).

[18:58] escott: it's confusing, Disk Utility lists the DVD drive as /dev/sr0 [18:58] andycc, installing [18:58] A_J: there you go, that should fix it. Try with VLC again after installing it. [18:59] nop :\ andycc [18:59] A_J: what? That didn't fix it? [18:59] I can see that xterm and gnome-terminal are insrtalled. How do I invoke them? How do I add them to the sidebar?

[19:00] Onryo, nice Script : umm i just copy paste it into the terminal ? [19:01] A_J: well then, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty much out of ideas. Try asking at the Ubuntu Forums, maybe someone there knows. (just give the topic a meaningful name like "1080p playback choppy in VLC with Nvidia graphics card") [19:02] andycc, thanks for your Help [19:02] escott: Line has been commented out in fstab, same issues while mounting in cmdline '/dev/sr0 unknown device' [19:02] A_J Yeap.

[19:10] Plugh, lemmie check [19:10] A_J then start it like this ./yourfile.sh [19:10] rinkukokiri: ok. [19:10] andycc, yes [19:10] escott: I have to go, thanks for trying to help me understand and get the DVD drive to work properly, I'll see what I can do in a few hours from now when I get back home [19:10] Plugh, 10.3.181.22ubuntu0.11.04.1 (flashplugin-installer) (through software center) [19:10] thanks again escott :) [19:10] When I hit the Windows key, I do not see the Ubuntu icon. [19:10] A_J or just watch the end of my video. Shows you how to do it. The beginning is just what the script is doing manually. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0IDV6r-bCI [19:11] kleanchap: I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity, when I want to run a program I click on the Applications icon on the Unity bar, then type "terminal" at the search text field, when Gnome Terminal opens I right-click its icon and choose "Keep in Launcher." Perhaps this doesn't answer your question, let us know. [19:11] Plugh, although with firefox, you /can/ do what i ended up doing and install flashvideoreplacer (add-on) and then run through the settings till you find one that works.. (flash causes massive system lock ups on youtube) [19:11] A_J: just open up 'gedit', copy-paste, save it somewhere, right-click it in the file browser, navigate to the 'permissions' tab, check the "allow this file to be executed" box, hit the Close button, double-click the file and it should ask you what you want to do. Click "run in terminal" and you're on your way. [19:11] (^ no terminal needed) === recifewop is now known as wildgoose [19:12] rinkukokiri: I don't use youtube very much. [19:12] I am using ubuntu 11.04's unity interface. Is there any way I can add apps like DICTIONARY to the upper panel. Its comes in handy. [19:12] andycc: that is the most workaround way of running a shell script i've ever seen in my life [19:12] brown_fern, Thank you!! [19:12] hi, is there a way to make vlc player as a default player? [19:12] help me [19:12] when i click mkv file, it use the build in player [19:12] thanks andycc [19:12] worked :D [19:12] Does the iPod touch 4 work with ubuntu? [19:12] hi guys - I'm having some issues installing 11.04. I have Linux Mint on /dev/sda3, from which I tried to use unetbootin to install Ubuntu. Obviously I couldn't then repartition /dev/sda so I tried to use the livecd. However, now when I boot from the livecd, I get the livecd boot menu but somewhere in the boot process it seems to find the unetbootin kernel and boots that. When I get into the desktop, /dev/sda3 is mounted on /cdrom. How do [19:13] hi, I have a problem: I put an entry at /etc/sysctl.conf, but after rebooting, in /proc/sys/ it isnt set [19:13] I get the livecd to ignore unetbootin? I can't remove unetbootin because my Linux Mint install is broken. [19:13] i need to know how to make vlc as default player [19:13] Onryo, mate, upgrade or Install ? [19:13] rinkukokiri: ok. I'll try again with flashplugin-installer. I'll shutdown FF, remove package, the re-install and see if that helps. [19:13] kleanchap: You're welcome. [19:13] celthunder: and the most newbie-friendly one. We should all use this kind of instructions when talking to newbies. (or make it a ubottu factoid) [19:13] If I can get it working, I'll only have 13 remaining issues with 11.04 [19:13] @phong: yes u will have to right click then open it with other application and then check the box remember his app === blaster is now known as Guest95703 [19:14] A_J install then later you can upgraded it with with upgrade. It will grab the newest gits and compile them. [19:14] Why is it that I can only have one Terminal open? Why can't I open multiple Terminal windows? [19:14] kleanchap: ? you can open as many as you want [19:14] kleanchap: use the menu for that. File -> New window [19:15] kleanchap: and which terminal are you using? [19:15] kleanchap: Unity opens your existing window when you click the icon. [19:15] A_J I also used check install so you can just install it as normal or do a total install of everything that script has done. [19:15] kleanchap: if this is unity, you can middle click as well you launch another instance [19:15] Can't we add apps icons to the upper bar in UNITY??? [19:16] okie ty Onryo amazing work, you must be really pro.. Thanks will Update you how it goes.. ty once again [19:16] CH3T4N: short version: no. [19:16] trism, Thanks! That worked. [19:16] A_J ahhh no big deal. But thx. [19:16] ok. but i still think there must be workaway around [19:16] CH3T4N: with Indicators, but you pretty much need to be a programmer. === Robert_ is now known as Guest731 [19:17] phong_: With Unity try the Universal Power button(in the upper right of the screen)>>System Settings>>Preferred Applications>>Multimedia (tab). [19:17] so seems I spoke too soon [19:18] what's that chain of commands that utilizes alt+sys req for when I have a total system lockup? [19:18] A_J you dont need to upgrade it right after you install. That script just pulled the head gits. Maybe tomorrow or something the coders have upgraded some code. [19:18] its will be a nice experience. can u just give me a quick outline so as how will i acheive it [19:18] rinkukokiri: Alt-SysRQ-REISUB [19:18] thx [19:18] writing it down ;D === harddisk-FN is now known as HardDisk [19:19] rinkukokiri: memorize it as "Raising Elephants IS Utterly Boring" [19:19] rinkukokiri: also note that on some distros (openSUSE comes to mind) it's disabled for security reasons [19:19] But on Ubuntu it should work, IIRC. [19:19] andycc: just outline, if possible. [19:19] andycc, if i try to remember it like that, i'll prolly omit the 's' [19:19] accidentally [19:20] i m new to linux [19:20] cn any body help me [19:20] so.. i spoke too soon, it wasn't flash [19:20] rinkukokiri: or "is *so* utterly boring" [19:20] !ask | tranzit [19:20] tranzit: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:20] tranzit: what you want? [19:20] lol that should work [19:20] tranzit: whats the problem? [19:20] tranzit I'm a noob too! [19:20] now where to look for infos on what happens when my sys locks up [19:20] ? [19:21] i am new to linux [19:21] and ? [19:21] thats ur problem? [19:21] how to use sshd ? [19:21] tranzit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH [19:21] tranzit: are you want to start/stop or install it? [19:21] tranzit: /etc/init.d/ssh start then ssh @ is the simple version...configs are in /etc/ssh/ [19:22] tranzit: you can usually just google "ubuntu wiki " [19:22] i want to install it [19:22] tranzit you want to ssh to somebody want ppl to be able to ssh into a server you have? [19:22] it's preinstalled [19:22] thanks guys mchecking this up [19:22] tranzit: Good places to chat about Linux are #ubuntu-offtopic (267 users) and #ubuntu-beginners (63 users). [19:23] tranzit: system => sysnaptic package manager then search and install open-ssh server [19:23] padhu: "openssh-server", actually [19:23] really u guys are amazing and too helpful [19:23] padhu: theres no - in openssh i [19:24] hey guys, Maverick is LTS right? if so then I won't upgrade to 11.10 [19:24] andycc: okey [19:24] tranzit: welcome to the Ubuntu community. Get used to that. ;) [19:24] just let him search in the software centre [19:24] sw0rdfish: nope, Lucid is LTS. [19:24] :o oh really [19:24] cool then [19:24] i'll just do [19:24] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [19:24] then [19:24] thanks [19:24] yeah lucid is lts [19:25] or do it via GUI [19:25] sw0rdfish, actally 10.04 is LTS [19:25] A_J, i'm talking about desktop environment [19:25] Hey all [19:25] celthunder: openssh-server is correct [19:25] left speaker not working in ubuntu 11.04 , Here is the output of 'amixer' http://dpaste.com/553753/ [19:25] sw0rdfish: sudo update-manager -d is the correct command to upgrade, IIRC [19:25] hi [19:25] hmmmmmm === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [19:26] rinkukokiri: Nope. I go to youtube as a quick test and it always tells me I need to upgrade to flash player 10. [19:26] I'm using openbox, but I need the volume control. How do I start it? [19:26] Plugh: so install flashplayer 10 [19:26] meco: pavucontrol [19:27] what would you guys say.. my system locks up about once a day (sometimes more often) and I mean complete lockup, mouse will be stuck between monitors.. memtest comes back clean.... [19:27] great! [19:27] I have a Wifi card from Ralink. The vendor has post the driver code on their website. I do not know if it has been integrated into Ubuntu. The driver documentation says "tested on RedHat 7.3 and later...". [19:27] celthunder: I installed flashplugin-installer already. [19:27] meco: or alsamixer if you're using alsa pavucontrol for pulse and ossxmix for oss [19:27] kleanchap, rt3090 ? [19:27] 10.3.181.22 IIRC [19:27] ok [19:27] saidz, rt3562sta [19:28] I'll de-install adobe flash plugin and try gnash and see if that works. [19:28] kleanchap: ralinks oftne work out of box [19:28] ı have rt3090 and i searched with google and i found suitable deb package kleanchap [19:29] maybe you should try searching deb [19:29] what can I do about system lockups?? memtest comes back clean [19:29] Onryo, it removed VLC :\, reinstall ? [19:29] saidz, Where do I start? apt-get? [19:29] kleanchap: apt-cache search [19:29] rinkukokiri: When it locks up can you still Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a console window? [19:30] nope [19:30] Oh. [19:30] can't do much besides the reisub thing [19:30] That's a serious lockup. [19:30] first search @ google kleanchap [19:30] How can I open a port on linux? [19:30] or check if it is closed [19:30] install the pack with your browser [19:30] rinkukokiri: anything in logs/what're you doing when it locks up [19:30] nope... [19:30] and set it with Gdebi package manager [19:31] Core_UK: it's open by default unless you have iptables/other blocking it as long as something is listening on the port [19:31] usually listening to something on VLC whilst running two instances of Firefox [19:31] celthunder: thank you :) [19:31] sometimes if i have youtube open i don't need vlc open for it to happen [19:32] but that's only when using flash ( ithink that lockup is specific to flash) [19:32] and that lockup usually comes back [19:32] rinkukokiri: sounds like an X lockup to me. Go to the keyboard layouts settings page and there should be a "set combination to change layout" sort of button (I'm not on Ubuntu, can't check what it's called). It should open up a window with a tree-like layout, in which you should find "key combination to restart X server". Enable that, and presto, you can theoretically hit ctrl-alt-backspace to restart just the graphical environment. [19:32] when the major lockups happen all windows turn dark and my mouse gets stuck in a space between the monitors [19:32] Does anybody have any hints on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/796755 [19:32] Ubuntu bug 796755 in lvm2 (Ubuntu) "[natty] LVM sometimes fails to mount /home at boot" [Undecided,New] [19:32] andycc, that didn't work lasttime.. i have that enabled. [19:33] and i pressed the eff outta ctrl alt backspace [19:33] celthunder: I am testing a port on Transmission, I know I have it fowarded to my internal IP on the router... what could be clocking it? [19:33] blocking* [19:33] rinkukokiri: Are your video card drivers up to date? [19:33] Plugh, yep.. using latest from nvidia [19:33] can i launch linux executables from a wine app? [19:33] Core_UK: do you have a firewall running (iptables -L) === Matt111 is now known as Guest81291 [19:34] celthunder: nevermind, it was MoBlock [19:34] rinkukokiri: What desktop thing are you using Unity or gnome? [19:34] ubuntu-classic [19:34] rinkukokiri: huh. Okay then, try to turn Compiz off (if it's on) and see if it happens again. [19:34] andai: uh? [19:34] andycc, Plugh i *think* it happens in windows too... not sure if that's just the firefox mem hole or not though [19:35] Onryo, well ? [19:35] rinkukokiri: I was going to suggest whether its something to do with Compiz. You can also start up with ubuntu-classic (no effects) and see if that makes a change. [19:35] celthunder: Like I have Minecraft, but i can't launch it, except in wine, using a windows version of JAVA in wine which is pretty slow [19:35] Guys...for some reason I cant print anything from my windows machine to my Epson printer attached onto Ubuntu. I can print a test page fine but nothing else prints...can anyone help? [19:35] will it be a windows, epson or Ubuntu problem? [19:35] everything prints fine from Ubuntu! [19:35] celthunder: So i went to Minecraft download page and it has a linux version, which is basically "Just Launch the JAR" [19:35] rinkukokiri: If its happening in Windows too that sounds like something other than an OS problem. Possibly a hardware related issue. [19:35] how do I add a custom autocomplete dictionary [19:35] celthunder: which doesn't work :P [19:36] ? [19:36] thats exactly what i don't wanna hear though on a 1500$$ laptop [19:36] andai: there is a swtup0 script [19:36] andai: on the ubuntu forum [19:36] andai: "setup" [19:36] andai: odd. I tried running Minecraft and it pretty much worked. Maybe try a different Minecraft launcher? [19:36] well.. soo much for asus being king stuff of laptops [19:37] rinkukokiri: never buy from a "system biulder" - waste of money [19:37] anda jar files are java why would you run them in wine? [19:37] Core_UK where do i put it? :P [19:37] rinkukokiri: Could it be a heat related thing? Does the problem only happen when the machine has been running a while or can you make it lock up just after turning on the machine? [19:37] celthunder: there's an EXE that launches the JAR and that works fine, launching the JAR manually does not [19:37] andai: what's the error when you run the jar manually [19:37] Plugh, it's not heat related, as i can run minecraft and get my temps up to 105 gpu and 85 cpu without any errors [19:37] Onryo, :**( Yet Framinf but les now [19:38] rinkukokiri: Not so much the mother board but the whole package. [19:38] and this happened with temps in the 60's [19:38] celthunder: the same error the exe gives, except the exe only gives it every now and then, and the rest of the time it works. lemme find it [19:38] andai: http://ubuntuguide.net/minecraft-installer-script-install-minecraft-in-ubuntu-completely-with-one-click [19:38] andai: java -jar what version of the jre do you have? [19:39] andai: did you install the Sun JVM? Try searching for "sun java" in the Software Center. [19:39] Core_UK: Aha! Notch says to use SUN Java for best results :P [19:39] Core_UK, i bought from newegg... not system builder [19:39] andycc yeah it wasn't even in there, i had to add a PPA [19:39] Im having a problem, I installed screenlets and when I go to run it from the GUI it opens and closes real quick. When trying to run it from command prompt I get an access error, so I try it as root and it opens, but almost all functionality is disabled. [19:39] rinkukokiri: asus = system builder [19:39] andai: huh? Isn't it in the default (partner?) repositories? [19:40] andai: openfava works perfect for me on 11.04 [19:40] andai: openjdk* [19:40] Core_UK, you find a 17 inch laptop with 9600gsm or better for less than 2 grand then [19:40] with a dualcore running 2.53 [19:41] rinkukokiri: easy...just build one [19:41] rinkukokiri: 9600gsm is nvidia card? [19:42] andycc, Processor: 2.4Ghz (dual core) or 3.5Ghz (single Core) processor <- Minumum Specs to plays full HD :*( [19:42] Core_UK, considering an alienware with a lesser processor, resolution and graphics card is twice the price [19:42] I'm on ubuntu 10.04 and need a Kerberos-aware ssh client. It seems that the version of OpenSSH installed isn't? Is this correct? Is there a good way to get one? [19:43] rinkukokiri: dont by from alienware, you are paying for a logo :P [19:43] Core_UK, product: G96 [GeForce 9600M GS] vendor: nVidia Corporation [19:43] rinkukokiri, Core_UK: I may be wrong, but I believe #ubuntu_offtopic is the right place for this conversation. [19:44] Onryo, here ? [19:44] rinkukokiri: google for barebones laptop (with motherboard/case rest you can add pretty cheaply [19:44] andycc: yes indeed, sorry [19:44] papna_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/ssh-krb5 [19:45] papna_: is this what you're looking for? [19:45] (although probably not after looking at the description, sorry) [19:46] andycc, what do you think, a processer bottle neck ? [19:47] A_J: as I said, the CPU should have absolutely nothing to do with video playback if VDPAU is enabled. I recall you mentioned that VLC got uninstalled; if so, it should be safe to reinstall it and try again. [19:47] Why does state Nautilus > Properties of /etc/rc.local > Volume:=unknown? [19:47] i did andycc, it's framing but less comparatively [19:48] ward [19:48] what do you guys recommend for an exchange client? === ward is now known as Guest34390 [19:48] andycc: It looks like it would be but I cannot ascertain how to make use of the Kerberos-aware clinet. === Guest34390 is now known as ward1234 [19:48] andycc: As far as I can tell, that package doesn't contain any executables or libraries. [19:49] phreck: I *think* Evolution is pretty much the only one available for Linux. [19:49] ok [19:49] ty [19:49] andycc, what was the vlc package you asked me to install ? [19:49] Any ubuntu gaming fans in? [19:50] <----gameing fan [19:50] papna_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced (there's a section on logging in with Kerberos) [19:51] i'm using ubuntu 11.04, and i don't know the first thing about connecting a second display. how do i get ubuntu to recognize and use a second monitor? [19:51] it's plugged in, but ubuntu doesn't detect it when i go to the Monitors settings [19:51] broc: via what connection is it plugged in? [19:51] (VGA/DVI/HDMI) [19:52] VGA cable [19:52] broc: what graphics card do you have? (Nvidia/ATi/Intel) [19:52] Nvidia [19:53] any idea on how to replace all fonts in a pdf document? [19:53] andycc: The section on logging in with Kerberos is short and doesn't actually tell you how to log in with Kerberos. It links you to the wiki page on Kerberos and a guide to setting up Kerberos. The former doesn't contain any ssh-oriented information and the latter focuses on setting up a server to except kerberos logins (and doesn't contain any examples I can find of logging in using kerberized ssh. [19:53] broc, install the nvidia drivers. run the nvidia-settings tool - enable 2nd monitor. - restart X server to make suire things work right [19:54] andycc: At a higher level, my problem is that I want to connect to Kerberos-demanding server with X forwarding. It looks like kerberized ssh is the way to do that. [19:54] broc, theres some issues witjh Unity and multi monitor support. [19:54] whats separate X screen vs TwinView? [19:54] broc, twinview lets you have a single WIDE desktop [19:54] dr_willis: Or TALL desktop. ;) [19:54] seperate x screen does not allow the dragging of windows between monitors [19:55] Does anyone know how I can run as root when booting from an ubuntu live cd? [19:55] seperate X screens are Seperate :) [19:55] someprimetime, use sudo as needed. [19:55] broc: indeed, you're going to throw your computer out of the window in anger if you try to put two monitors on top of each other. Also, the unity dock is always going to stay on the leftmost monitor. [19:55] obvious answer is obvious :D [19:55] dr_willis: it'll work even with a live cd? [19:55] papna_: sorry, I'm not an SSH wizard by any means. I was pretty much just googling. You may want to try asking in the Ubuntu forums. [19:55] someprimetime, yes.. [19:56] dr_willis: thanks, trying it now [19:56] Im having a problem, I installed screenlets and when I go to run it from the GUI it opens and closes real quick. When trying to run it from command prompt I get an access error, so I try it as root and it opens, but almost all functionality is disabled. [19:56] someprimetime: sudo su - [19:57] celthunder, just sudo -i wil do.. [19:57] * lolmatic scares little girls on chatroulette for fun [19:57] * A_J eyeballs lolmatic [19:57] * rinkukokiri has a pic of Chris Hanson for Omegle.com [19:58] lolmatic: Your remark seems not to have anything to do with Ubuntu. [19:58] and with that, i bid you a goodbye [19:58] well firefox is running on ubuntu [19:58] lolmatic: so what's your tech support question again? [19:59] why does flash suck and why isnt all that done in html5 [19:59] maco: is there a virtual-webcam type of app for Ubuntu [19:59] lolmatic, ask adobe. [20:00] andycc: i dont know what you mean by virtual webcam [20:00] hello everybody, any personal suggestion regarding which diff tools is better: kompare or kdiff3, do you have other opinions (for KDE) [20:01] I want to know how could i work with the DSL part of network-manager in cammand line how to creat connect and run the pppoe connection via network-manager . plz head me on a wiki or something helpful [20:01] andycc, done \o/ [20:01] A_J: huh? Did it finally work? [20:01] amin`: here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=3 [20:02] yes that link you game me [20:02] I am using wicd as my network manager. After I rebooted the system wth the unplugged wired network, the system is not finding any wireless network. Where do I setup the wlan SSID information and the password? [20:02] Now to Smplayer. This, for those that don't know, is a QT frontend to mplayer with lots of neat options. The best frontend for mplayer in my view. Gnome-Mplayer is also very good, and is a new gtk gui. The Nvidia VDPAU Team PPA has Smplayer and so does Karmic. [20:03] A_J: you're giving credit to the wrong person, I didn't give you any link to smplayer. :D [20:03] okenobi___, It is exactly for gentoo buddy; but it is the the manual for rp-pppoe [20:03] kleanchap: wicd-gtk === okenobi___ is now known as okenobi [20:04] na ur the person who deserves the credit u gave me : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037625 [20:04] channel for backtrack5? [20:04] I look for pon network or poff sth like that [20:04] kleanchap: or you can add it to the config in /etc [20:04] gmplayer isn't the same as gnome-player and gnome-mplayer is all I have gotten installed since moving to 11.04. smplayer is a very different beast. Useful but not as simple as gmplayer was. [20:04] I like a lot of the featrues in smplayer. [20:04] Plugh: i just use mplayer directly but smplayer /gnome-mplayer are just front ends to the same thing [20:05] Plugh: so any feature one has all 3 should have [20:05] celthunder: yes, but they have more than I need. gmplayer was perfect for me. [20:05] andycc, one more question if you dont mind.. Wanted to install a new hdd.. how should i do, i want it to automount at startup [20:05] when i set my displays to twinview everything freezes, what is wrong?? [20:05] celthunder, i like how smplayer can auto-rember last position when watching a movie/restarting it. [20:07] A_J: maybe take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [20:07] I'm not exactly sure what instructions to recommend to a newbie. [20:07] !fstab [20:07] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:07] everything freezes when i try to apply the twinview configuration settings in the nvidia settings, what should i do? [20:09] A_J: maybe you could use pysdm for a GUI configuration tool, a Ubuntu package seems to be available.

[20:38] morecheese: poppler is a library-oriented fork of xpdf. If there is a difference, poppler-utils' pdftotext is probably superior.

Does fdisk cache the disk data? parted now reports it as EXT4. [20:49] kunji: Have you restarted the machine? [20:50] kunji: It looks at the partition table (fdisk does) Perhaps it is wrong?

[20:54] Hi guys Im having some problems with ubuntu 10.04 apt-get commands are not working for some reason? [20:55] Plugh: Thanks, but fdisk still returns the same info after that. [20:55] I get bash apt-get command not fouund [20:55] edbian: the icon is in the launcher i see it, when I right click I dont see "keep in launcher" like I do with other programs [20:55] myloveisnick What output are you getting after trying to use apt-get? [20:55] linkdead: chmod -R linkdead:linkdead /home/linkdead (You don't everything in your home folder but you should. That command makes it so you do) [20:55] linkdead I get -bash: apt-get: command not found [20:55] Bisu[Shield]: But it doesn't work? It must be a bug. [20:56] myloveisnick: sudo apt-get install [20:56] use sudo [20:56] edbian that doesnt work either [20:56] myloveisnick Sounds like you need to re-download the program, apt-get is part of Synaptec I think, but could be wrong there [20:56] anyone know of a good way of "restarting" unity without logging out/in again? [20:56] linkdead: apt-get and synaptic are separate entities but they achieve the same purpose [20:57] unity did not like me messing with those plugins [20:57] myloveisnick: That is scary. Can you use aptitude? synaptic? [20:57] wow, why my wireless just got dis? [20:57] any help? [20:57] phong_: got dis? [20:57] weird..once a while it just not work [20:57] yeah [20:57] What is dis? [20:57] i have to disable and enable it [20:57] edbian I get: chmod: invalid mode: `linkdead:linkdead after that command [20:57] it stay connected but no internet [20:57] linkdead: sorry, typo! chown -R linkdead:linkdead /home/linkdead [20:57] i have to do disable wirless then enable it back [20:57] edbian dunno really Im new to this so no clue, Im just trying to follow a guide but apt-get wouldnt work [20:57] chown, not chmod [20:58] I tried debugging myself using google but not luck [20:58] any idea? [20:58] myloveisnick: Can you run aptitude at a terminal? (something is very wrong here) [20:58] Yum works [20:58] myloveisnick: ... [20:58] myloveisnick: What distro are you using?

Needed to set the boot flag to sda1 [20:59] After updates and package installations (I think) my wireless card stopped working in 11.04, any ideas? Thansk [20:59] edbian Thanks man, that worked perfectly! [21:00] myloveisnick: cat /etc/issue [21:00] what he says [21:00] linkdead: sure [21:00] celthunder Thanks! I guess it is indeed centOS5 damn host messed up [21:00] ha [21:00] that's why apt-get is missing! [21:01] Wasted 30 mins :/ [21:01] myloveisnick: lol centos huh [21:01] Anyone here good with installing OpenVPN?

[21:02] !help | demoforlug [21:02] demoforlug, please see my private message [21:02] celthunder I'm 100% noob [21:02] Hi guys, I am trying to SSH into one of my Ubuntu machines from the other. Both are on the same network; ssh username@namchinename fails to resolve the host, and using the IP address gets a "Port 22: Connection Refused". I haven't done any special setup; do I need to do something? [21:02] When it says to edit the files I dont even know how to! Im new to using SSH [21:03] myloveisnick: honestly the easiest way to do it is to just read the openvpn guide on the openvpn site but it comes down to make a dhkey make a server key make client keys move them to appropriate places make the server config make a client config start server connect with client [21:03] myloveisnick: sudo nano /path/to/some/file [21:03] ah ok [21:03] Thanks guys! [21:03] narfanator, on each box. try 'ssh localhost' see if it works [21:03] hi guys, why my wifi always lag out, it still connect but seem like no internet [21:03] i have to disabled and enabled wiless [21:03] edbian: i wouldn't do that (sudo nano) [21:03] narfanator: Does the server have the package installed? [21:03] I presume I can just edit the file using this putty program [21:03] any idea? [21:03] celthunder: well depends on the file [21:03] hello, what does mouse polling rate = 0 mean in Ubuntu? [21:04] edbian: Had to auth it, but no error messages [21:04] Did you know?: You can type "ssh 0" instead of "ssh localhost"? Tip of the day! [21:04] woop [21:04] edbian: i mean nano in sudo ...it overwrites the .history file nano uses and then you have to remove it or chown it again [21:04] saamm: Well mouse polling means 'see where the mouse is periodically' The 0 means as often as possible [21:04] other computer gets Port 22: Connection Refused [21:04] celthunder: Really? Never knew that! === luka is now known as Guest31226 [21:05] rypervenche: how often do you ssh localhost though? [21:05] Is there a way to revert back to packages and setting installed a day ago? [21:05] I do apt-get remove evolution, but afterwards the Evolution menu entry is still there. Why? [21:05] gloria123456789: uhm not really unless yo uhave a backup [21:05] quiescens: I know one person who does. [21:05] edbian, all my mouse has become extremely over sensitive in natty....reducing or increasing polling can solve this problem? [21:06] saamm: Where is that setting? (perhaps) [21:06] saamm: change the dpi leave the polling rate at 1000 hertz or whatever max your mouse will take [21:06] edbian, cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll [21:06] saamm: and honestly changing the sensitivity is even better than changing the dpi... [21:06] saamm: I like celthunder's suggestion [21:06] celthunder: ok, any idea why my wireless would randomly stop working [21:06] gloria123456789: not in Ubuntu. [21:06] celthunder, how can i change dpi in ubuntu [21:07] gloria123456789: use NixOS or Nix packages if you want that next time. [21:07] edbian: I can ssh from one to the other (works when the target succeeds at ssh localhost), but not the other way around, presumably for the same reason I can't 'ssh localhost' on that machine [21:07] celthunder, also how to know max possible polling rate of a mouse. [21:07] gloria123456789: ? does it see the wireless card [21:08] narfanator: You have to install an ssh server (it's software) on each machine that you want to ssh INTO. sudo apt-get install openssh-server [21:08] Ok [21:08] celthunder: not anymore, the wireless light isnt on and it doesnt find it in the ubuntu interface. It worked, but I ran updates and such now it doesnt work [21:08] narfanator: :) [21:08] wow there is no ubuntu wiki on mouse polling [21:08] gloria123456789: ok what's the chipset? [21:09] edbian: thanks! working now [21:09] saamm: it should be on your mouse (dpi/poll rate) and like i said change senstivity first leave those maxed out [21:09] rly: you probably need to purge it. [21:09] narfanator: Glad I helped you! :) [21:09] although... I have to be using the IP addresses, what do I do to make it recognize the $HOSTNAMEs? [21:09] celthunder i think intel broadcom but not sure --- easy way to check? [21:09] is anyone here? [21:10] hello [21:10] celthunder, changing mouse sensitivity and accelration is not helping [21:10] hi everyone [21:10] gloria123456789: lspci [21:10] narfanator: You can do hostname.local [21:10] lspci grep | wire [21:10] can someone help me fix my no wireless prblem? [21:10] narfanator: You could optionally set up a DNS server (perhaps not worth the effort) [21:10] lspci | grep wire [21:10] saamm: ok then what mouse do you have ? i have a dpi button i can set my dpi/poll rate with on the mouse itself [21:10] luka__: ? [21:10] edbian: as in, ssh username@hostname.local? [21:10] saamm: o ne sec looking how to do it via os though [21:10] narfanator: Yes. That should work on base installs [21:10] okay [21:11] he can filter lspci results with keyword wire [21:11] edbian: Nope, not working [21:11] otherwise lspci displays many results [21:11] It's ok, the IP address works well enough for my rare usage [21:11] celthunder: 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06) [21:11] ??? [21:11] umm... could somebody help me? [21:11] narfanator: Sure, you can edit the hostname (not a really good solution) [21:11] gloria123456789: that's not a wireless card? [21:11] anyone uses xchat? how do i connect to custom irc channel? [21:11] narfanator: but many people just use IP address on little local networks [21:11] celthunder: wirelss card not showing up [21:12] luka__: /newserver or /server [21:12] edbian: Nono; I mean, ssh username@hostname.local gets "Name or service not known", but ssh username@192.... works just fine [21:12] thanks a lot [21:12] gloria123456789: is it a usb wireless card? [21:12] Jamesuperfun: just put any questions you have out here and if someone knows they'll probably help. [21:12] celthunder: nope [21:12] gloria123456789: pastebin lspci then and i'll find it [21:12] ok [21:12] narfanator: I know that isn't working (I thought it might). I'm saying that you can edit the /etc/hosts file as well. [21:13] narfanator: But many people just use IP addresses. That's totally normal on a small network. [21:13] Yeah [21:13] narfanator: sure [21:13] hoi [21:13] so, in /etc/hosts I'd add in "192.168.... hostname", yes? [21:13] celthunder: http://pastebin.com/qqaH4JEn thanks [21:13] saamm: what mouse do you have === mendred_ is now known as mendred [21:14] narfanator: yep [21:14] it's been a while for me at the command line and ubuntu's telling me I should use upstart instead of the init.d script... can't seem to find the command for using upstart [21:14] IDK why, but my wireless won't work. It works in my multiplae copies of windows 7 but not in ubuntu. Wired is fine, my networking is enabled but I cannot enable wireless. Propitary drivers(or whatever they are called) are enabled. [21:14] narfanator: Although, if you're running DHCP it will eventually change (which is what makes this lousy) [21:14] oh, but I don't know if that IP will change on me - I only ever have a couple of computers on the network, so will they remain the same for each computer, or change every reboot/reconnect? [21:14] alcane: something like service start i think [21:14] Jamesuperfun: What card do you have? [21:14] Intel... something. [21:14] alcane: try sudo service start [21:14] How do I tell if I'm running DHCP? [21:15] celthunder, Genius Xscroll Optical Wheel Mouse [21:15] narfanator: If you assigned static addresses, you are NOT using dhcp. If you plug in your computer and it works, you are using DHCP. [21:15] Ok, I'm using DHCP [21:15] narfanator: Often, on a small network, the DHCP lease ends, the client requests a new IP, and the router gives it the same IP. This happens over and over so sometimes the DHCP assigned address appears to never change. [21:16] narfanator: But usually the lease is something like a day or a week. [21:16] Ok [21:16] hello [21:16] Thanks! [21:16] hi i was watching youtube and it crashes my computer then when i try to hard reboot it, i cant get back to ubuntu, it said Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter? [21:16] celthunder, its not specific to one mouse...it happens with any mouse that i connect [21:16] one question for the ubuntu users [21:16] narfanator: sure [21:16] edbian: you can set static addresses with dhcp... [21:16] edbian - intel, but i am not sire of the model. [21:16] could it be something wrong with my harddisk or flash kill something important? [21:16] celthunder: Yes, I know. [21:17] how can you install the netcdf package + development (includes) in ubuntu, by command line === francispereira is now known as ilmenite [21:17] celthunder: thx [21:17] netcdf version 3 [21:17] guntbert: thanks! [21:17] i don't have ubuntu so i cannot see it now [21:17] alcane: you're welcome :-) [21:17] but i know it will be something like apt-get install netcdf netcdf-devel ? [21:17] ubuntuCEO: does your hdd work? [21:17] or [21:17] ok, file transfer in progress (scp), thanks for the help, ~out [21:17] apt-get install netcdf-3 netcdf-devel-3 [21:18] gloria123456789: is that a custom pc if not what's the name/model [21:18] celthunder, dont know yet, i just insert ubuntu liveCD in and it is loading [21:18] Jamesuperfun: lspci -k will help [21:18] Jamesuperfun: you might find it with the command "lspci | grep Intel" without the quotes, in terminal of course. [21:18] hi everybody [21:18] celthunder, it takes forever to load?

I believe it is a bug. I see it happen too but I can't figure out the cause. You can edit the menu and remove them manually. [21:20] rly: What edbian said, just delete it manually.

Maybe if you figure it out you can tell me! [21:20] edbian: what is the name of that application to do that? [21:21] rly: System -> Preferences -> menu [21:21] rly: alacarte [21:21] That's another thing I deeply hate. [21:21] everytime I try to upgrade my nvidia drivers, I get an error when I start that my nvidia module doesnt match my kernel module. how do I fix this? [21:21] There is no way to get the binary given the menu entry. [21:21] rly: To get the binary? [21:21] Also, one should be able to just right click on menu entries to remove it. [21:21] In Gnome 2.X. [21:22] celthunder: ill give it a try, thanks [21:22] I don't understand how they failed to get that right. [21:22] rly: The bug is annoying. I agree. [21:22] edbian: to get the name of the binary. [21:22] rly: Mmm, that is annoying too. [21:22] edbian: really, the problem is that alacarte should never have been necessary in the first place. [21:22] rly: There is, open alacarte, find the program, open the properties and the command will be there. [21:22] rly: We told you how to fix it. There really is no point in complaining to us about it. [21:23] I found the Ubuntu installer gave me the nvidia driver but its state is active but not used. [21:23] celthunder, i am in ubuntu now how to check if my hdd is ok? [21:23] edbian: I am not complaining, I am discussing. [21:23] edbian: if tons of people agree with me, perhaps that would be reason for change. [21:23] rly: that should then be in your path, so whereis should help you find it. [21:23] Hi, I'm using ubuntu 11.04 and since I installed the updates from today I'm having a very high system load. Logging in on a console gives a timeout after 60 seconds, booting takes extremely long (at first I thougth the process had stalled), etc. Top however does not show a single process causing the problems. All processes have a higher cpu usage than normal, so I'm stuck finding a solution. [21:23] OTOH, the Gnome people have been taken over by idiots, IIRC, so that might never fly. [21:23] ubuntuCEO: well does it pass S.M.A.R.T tests? [21:23] rly: sure :) But that's what #ubuntu-offtopic is for [21:24] rly: This is ubuntu support [21:24] edbian: yes, thanks. [21:24] rly: sure :) [21:24] ardjan: broken hardware. [21:24] rly: so stop using gnome if you don't like it we don't really care and most of the people in here aren't likely dev's for it [21:24] i like gnome [21:24] ardjan: in particular a harddisk can cause that.

[21:29] celthunder, i am in liveCD now [21:30] sorry, phone went, you know how you end up talking for ages =S [21:30] celthunder, could that be grub ? [21:30] klown: ubuntuCEO you got 1 hdd?

[21:31] ubuntuCEO: if those pass try fsck [21:31] celthunder, /dev/sda failed: permission denied [21:31] ubuntuCEO: sudo su - run the same thing then [21:31] davef: rename /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules - should do the trick [21:32] anyone runs jira around here? i have confluence and jira running and they take 2 gb ram [21:32] celthunder, nothing happen [21:32] celthunder: don't recommend sudo su - please, use sudo -i instead [21:33] ubuntuCEO: did it just bring you to a new prompt? [21:33] guntbert, thanks. I'll check that again. I already edited it and removed the eth1 and eth2 segments. But I'll check it out, maybe it's baaaaak.... [21:34] celthunder, yea [21:34] ubuntuCEO: after running smartctl it should display something... [21:34] celthunder, nothing [21:34] ubuntuCEO: try smartctl -a /dev/sdsa [21:35] ubuntuCEO: could also do -x or --xall for some of the non-SMART info about it [21:37] celthunder, http://pastebin.com/nsZ3MeFp [21:37] Does sun-java6-bin have some differences to OpenJDK which comes with ubuntu ?

[21:39] celthunder, so should i try to mount the hdd in liveCD now? [21:39] celthunder, in gparted? [21:39] furythor: Sounds like a problem with the mods. OpenJDK wouldn't really have problems with that. I run my server just fine with it. [21:39] how can i tell if a particular port is blocked on an ubuntu box?

[21:51] rypervenche: you talk as though fdisk is some kind of interactive application, but from what i'm seeing it just prints a little to stdout and i'm still at the shell, pressing w at the shell doesn't write anything [21:52] dijonyummy123: you need echo "text..." | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab [21:52] Buttons840: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kVAzxTwy5Q [21:52] Buttons840, it is interactive [21:52] RA_drc: justo go to terminal and run 'sudo aptitude update' then 'sudo aptitude upgrade' [21:52] dijonyummy123: DON't forget the -a [21:52] why so complicated, usually that works the way it was [21:52] dijonyummy123: and try with some other file before [21:52] Buttons840: Watch that video and you'll understand it.

I want to send a movie to my TV via DLNA, without setting up a DLNA Server. How? [22:24] RA_drc: iirc, Maverick has 2.6.35 by default [22:24] i have a series of gksu apt-get install commands in a single bash script when I run it it asks for password and begins installing but it asks for password again in the middle, How do i know what caused and how to remove that iam totally clueless what could cause it to forget the authantivcation done on line 1 [22:25] RA_drc, read the manual, come back if you have specific questions ... believe me that's a loaded question [22:26] bluebaron: my specific question is that when i run sudo make install on a new kernel, is it supposed to produce a initrd image? my impression was that yes, make install creates an initrd image, but i can't find it under /boot [22:26] anyone ? please [22:27] szal: i ran uname-r, and it says that i'm running 2.6.32-32-generic [22:27] RA_drc: cat /etc/issue [22:27] Does mke2fs not update the partition's system id? Manually updating it with fdisk and then running partprobe fixed it, now fdisk reports the disk properly. [22:27] DesiBabu: i wouldn't worry about it [22:28] having loads of fun [22:29] szal: ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS \n \l (i don't know why it included \n or \l) [22:29] RA_drc: iow, not Maverick, but Lucid [22:29] bluebaron: so my specific question is, does make install create an initrd image?

[22:30] szal: iow? [22:30] RA_drc: and if you really want a newer kernel for Lucid, there's no need to build one, since the Ubuntu Kenel PPA has a Natty backport kernel for Lucid (2.6.38-8) [22:30] RA_drc: "in other words" [22:30] szal: ah, thanks [22:31] szal: i would like to upgrade to 2.6.34, if that's possible [22:31] My mouse cursor won't change when I have Compiz enabled. [22:31] rypervenche: how so? [22:32] RA_drc: compiling a kernel is not the same as compiling a normal package. Don't worry about it, use the PPA they recommended. [22:32] NightHawk877, press ctrl twice [22:33] Why would nvidia module show up in dmesg, when it has been blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d? [22:34] bluebaron, Didn't do anything.

But now that I've apt-get removed it, and deleted xorg.conf, I can't go to fullscreen in flash without crashing X... Any idea what I could be missing? [22:35] rypervenche: my understanding was that i would configure it, run make, make modules_install, make install, then edit a grub file. it doesn't seem like the PPA would let me upgrade to 2.6.34 [22:35] I didn't need to find my cursor. I need to know how to change it when Compiz is enabled. It's stuck at the default pointer and the theme I am using has a really cool pointer. [22:35] hey, I have an partition on a drive that fills the drive entirely, but I cant seem to mount it under any type of FS(ie: ext2 ext3 reiserfs xfs ext4) Is there any tool for identifying what might be on that partition? [22:36] shomon: Did you have to create xorg.conf when you installed fglrx? [22:36] RA_drc: No, it will upgrade you to 2.6.38-8, which is even better. [22:36] shomon: Or was it already there? [22:36] slack-m: tried to fsck it? [22:36] szal, no [22:36] hi sorry rationalOgre ok no I didn't have to create it [22:37] slack-m: then do that, it'll mostly auto-identify the fs [22:37] I didn't install it either. It arrived as a result of turning on proprietary drivers [22:37] blah i can't find that damn script :c [22:37] so I guess it was already there and I just did some kind of switch... In that dialogue it seems to be off now though... [22:37] slack-m, gparted will show you very detailed info [22:37] Maylow, ty [22:37] rypervenche: what about 2.6.34? according to my boss, that's the very best [22:37] szal, ty too [22:38] Maylow, wait [22:38] shomon: Reason I ask is I wonder if it didn't have some setting that you needed previously, and when you deleted it, that setting was lost. [22:38] gparted is a gui app? [22:38] shomon: Just as a possibility. [22:38] slack-m: yes [22:38] slack-m: You can also use parted if you prefer CLI. [22:38] slack-m, yes [22:39] its a remote server with no X [22:39] slack-m: Then use parted. :-) [22:39] k [22:39] i'm trying to setup my /etc/fstab file but it says my special device does not exist, //192.168.1.210/Media /media/Media xfs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [22:39] slack-m: You can also use fdisk. [22:39] any idea's [22:39] rationalOgre: That falls down on GPT volumes. [22:39] Corey: Ah. [22:40] Can anyone help me with my cursor change issue? [22:40] slack-m, sudo parted -l [22:40] rypervenche: i tried doing manual partitions but i have the same problem, this time the boot flag is set like i wanted though - it's just the bios doesn't think the drive is bootable, but if i specifically tell it to boot from the drive in the boot menu it works [22:40] Buttons840: That doesn't sound like a problem with the OS; might talk to ##hardware about it. [22:40] aah thanks rationalOgre ... any idea how I can diagnose it? === minja is now known as josiah [22:41] So I am trying to do an apt-get update and it fails with the error: Failed to fetch...bz2 file. I ran wget for the bz2 file and a redirection takes place and goes to iwsearch.net. What the hell is going on? [22:41] I enterd in System > Preferences > Startup Applications > (Startup Applications Preferences) > (Startup Programs) > Add > (Add Startup Program) > Command: the command /usr/bin/tilda . Why does Tilda not start automatically if I reboot the computer and log in? [22:41] dlong: What are you using for a DNS server, and is something odd in /etc/hosts? [22:41] RA_drc: Your boss doesn't know much then :P Their are newer kernels out now, use the one from the backports PPA. [22:41] bullgard4: Any chance it's running without bonding to your current terminal? [22:42] bullgard4: Er, binding rather. === minja is now known as josiah [22:42] hello [22:42] RA_drc: In all reality it probably won't change a whole lot. [22:42] bullgard4, does the same command run from terminal? [22:42] user_: shouldn't you be using smbfs instead of xfs? [22:42] Corey: I have tried changing my resolv.conf file to different nameservers and the problem persists. [22:42] dlong: Did you bounce nscd as well? [22:43] Corey: is there a way i can see what board it is without opening the box? [22:43] Maylow: Yes. [22:43] dlong: More to the point, what server is it, and what IP does it resolve to? [22:43] rationalogre: am linking to a linkstation device. i know it works, just one reinstall and didn't save config. [22:43] bullgard4: dmidecode [22:43] the format of the device is xfs [22:43] Corey: I thought about nscd, but it is not installed [22:43] does Natty detect the maximum display resolution for GRUB? [22:43] RA_drc: It is very time-consuming compiling a kernel, especially when you don't know exactly what you want as far as configurations go. Take the one that is already configured for you. It will save you a lot of headache. [22:43] bullgard4, you could try running it from your .bashrc? jsut to see if it runs on boot [22:43] if it does, in which phase? [22:43] does anyone know any good tools to add subtitles to video that you can do whilst you're watching it, by scrubbing back and forth or similar? [22:44] Corey: I have a mail server that it resolves to on one ip address and a web server on another ip address. [22:44] dlong: What server is it, exactly? I don't want to play guessing games today. [22:44] Corey: my /etc/hosts file basically just has the 127.0.0.1 entry for localhost and the two ip addresses. One pointing to mail.example.com and the other to www.example.com [22:45] dlong: Let's try this another way. "sudo apt-get update" to a pastebin please. [22:45] Maylow: Do you refer to the file ~/.bashrc? [22:45] on system boot or update-grub? when installing some package? [22:46] bullgard4: Rather obviously, yes. :-) [22:46] user_: yes but you're using the samba mounting protocol (//ipaddress) and my research is showing to use smbfs or, more recently cifs. You said it was working previously? [22:46] bullgard4, yes; it's parsed every time you start a console, but I believe it's also parsed once on logon [22:46] i think there is a bug in Ubuntu 11.04 When i open a windows, it seems to be maximized but actually is isn't, i have to unmaximize it and do it again after. any idea? [22:46] iocor, gnome-subtitles [22:47] Corey: http://pastebin.com/5ZE4EEDw [22:48] hi, I can not connect my voip account voipstunt or megavoip with empathy [22:48] Corey: By asking what server...are you asking what my server is, or to what repo server I am having issues? [22:49] rationalogre: Yeh it was working with device about an hour ago :( [22:49] because I'd really like to use just the terminals without X on this light-weight machine, but they fill only a part of the screen, I'm guessing one that would fill a screen with maximum resolution of 1280x800... [22:49] rational0gre: Yeh it was working with device about an hour ago :( [22:49] user_: Mounting a share across a network, it doesnt matter really what the format of the partition is, you have to use a FS driver that is compatible with the language the NAS speaks. try using cifs and see if it works. [22:50] ok, I just noticed that Ubuntu seems to think my laptop screen is still present... I put the hard drive to a desktop PC yesterday [22:50] rational0gre: error,wrong fs type === heather is now known as Guest28615 [22:50] rational0gre: missing codepage [22:51] /192.168.1.210/Media /media/Media cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [22:51] do I need to remove/change some config files?

[22:53] cant change card... old sony laptop [22:53] rational0gre: do you think i can use IP or do i need DNS [22:53] ksni: other than that, you don't seriously expect someone to answer you in 18 seconds, do you? [22:53] user_: You should be able to use the IP [22:54] user_: All that using the hostname would do is cause a lookup for the IP anyway. [22:54] hello, anyone want to help me with a big problem? [22:54] szal: I've been here for minutes without a single response [22:54] empathy with sip account voipstunt don't work [22:54] bullgard4, yes; as far as I get it, .bashrc is similar to the dso bat files [22:54] dos [22:54] anaip, Your better off just asking your question.

[22:55] syslog, dmsg, kern.log etc are all unreadable and growing in size at a phenomenal rate due to a recurring message "pwrdown, 0x6(BIT6)=f1" apart from turning of rsyslog is there a way to turn off the specific error message [22:55] bash bit better than dos bat file lol [22:55] the problem is that it's not a question, I tried to upgrade ubuntu and now it doesn't boot [22:55] bbguitar, :) [22:55] hi, i'd like to run a program from another directory, but i need to run it from the folder or it won't work properly (including files doesn't work), is there a trick to do that ? [22:55] well, upgrade 9.04 -> 9.10 to do further upgrades later [22:56] aniap: I had the same problem before. I fixed it by modifying a grub init script [22:56] Maylow: Yes. Why do you ask? [22:57] anai. you get a boot prompt? at start.. [22:57] bullgard4, that's ok, just add your line at the end of the file [22:57] audreyr: do you know what was the reason for that, it seems to be something borken with filesystem in my case [22:57] even the recovery mode doesn't work [22:57] it was a problem with the grub bootloader [22:58] I don't remember the specific script, let me google for it [22:58] grub works fine for me [22:58] then I see ubuntu logo and then it seems to be starting booting again [22:58] with the difference that it hangs this time [22:58] boot from a cd and fsck the partition [22:58] hi [22:59] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. Is there a way to change the color of the network manager and battery applet icons?

[23:06] Maylow: The entry in the Startup Applications worked all right in my Ubuntu 10.04 computer. [23:06] Maylow: Yes. [23:06] bullgard4,that's why it keeps spawning itself - every tilde parses .bashrc [23:07] bullgard4, and every next one does it again [23:07] Maylow: So it is no good idea to start Tilda using ~/.bashrc . [23:08] bullgard4, obviously :) [23:09] Maylow: Tell me why the entry in the Startup Applications does not work in Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit using Compiz. [23:09] bullgard4, all my entries work [23:09] bullgard4, cannot think of sth [23:10] Maylow: The Ubuntu guidelines say: "Works for me" is no good explanation and no help.

I will find out, anyway. [23:11] bullgard4, good luck :) [23:12] I have problem with my Ubuntu 10.04 destkop install. I've been using it for about a year and half now. This problem is recent; ~2 weeks. [23:12] Thank you again. [23:13] My screen is not locking when I suspend (this is a laptop) or close the lid. I open it up again, and bam I'm into my own user account. No password asked, etc. Not good of course. How do I fix this problem? It only started up when I was messnig around with awesomewm and doing something about some start config file and added stuff about gnome-power-manager and stuff. I've since moved back to GNOME. [23:13] !lock [23:13] Hmm. [23:13] !lock ? [23:13] intlkleinblue: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:15] intlkleinblue: try preferences -> power management [23:15] The other problem/question I have is about the pdf reader. For some bizarre reason, every time I turn the computer on (has to be start or restart, not from suspend) the PDF reader(I think it's called evince) is open. No file or anything, just the program. Really bizarre. [23:15] hi [23:15] :D [23:16] is anybody from poland?

They look alright. Power managment is showing default normal settings. I don't have the 'don't ask for pass' thing set on either. Startup apps doesn't show the PDF reader either. [23:18] bullgard4, there is a suggestion to use bash -c "sleep 1s; tilda" instead of only tilda as a startup command [23:19] what does it say in the 'when laptop lid is closed' section?

They claim to support every disc type, and the MP4 files are generated by an ffmpeg/x264 I've compiled and scripted myself. High profile, "a few b-frames". I know the mp4 files are good. [23:23] masakon, it's about tilda not starting and provides some workaround - you could try it and see if it works for you; beautiful wallpaper :) [23:23] kiichiro: Ask.

[23:39] Maylow: This is correct. [23:40] ubuntu1000, If it works, I'm sure the performance will be brilliant *cough* [23:40] Lol [23:40] Maylow: Tilda does not start automatically. [23:40] I hope yahoo sitebuilder works under wine [23:40] That's a little unfair. Wine is pretty spectacular. Java, I'm not so convinced. [23:41] I want to create my costum ubuntu distro, how do i do that? I want everything (all costume made themes, icons, application performances) SAVED and ready for new installation on other PC's! CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW??? [23:41] still no luck, that forum was to confusing [23:41] Then again, I'm biased. I hate Java because I think people should write in a proper language and learn to garbage collect. Then again, I'm a PHP programmer and a massive hypocrite. [23:42] how to make my own costum ubuntu distro? anyone? [23:43] Igor_Elez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [23:43] I have a LAN with PCs and "number controlled machines" (I don't know if it english the name is the same, but they're using static IPs and won't work with dynamically ones), so the idea was to have them with static IPs and all other PCs with dynamically ones... I don't care in reality if the IP will be 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x or if PCs and those machines live togheter in 192.168.0.x, so how is the DHCP server i need [23:43] to setup? [23:43] bullgard4, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223475 [23:43] bullgard4, "this problem resolved itself when i upgraded to Eft." [23:43] bullgard4, do you know what Eft is? [23:43] Igor_Elez: Consider googling next time before asking others. [23:44] Maylow: No. [23:44] Maylow: Edgy Eft [23:44] rationalOgre, Can you suggest a DVD creator that has advanced options? I only require data DVDs and RW blanking. [23:45] rationalOgre OK, thanks :) [23:45] rationalOgre, so it's an earlier release of ubuntu... [23:45] I believe I just broke rationalOgre's rule there, but in my defense, I appreciate the opinion of anyone with a poopy laptop [23:45] helpers: I have erased ff5 via synaptic, and run sudo apt-cache showpkg firefox again, to get the same information [23:46] ImDexter: did you remove the PPA? [23:46] computerx: lol [23:46] rational0gre: Still no luck ! [23:46] Maylow: The tread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223475 is outdated. [23:46] I removed an application over wine, how do I remove it's icon from my unity dash? [23:46] computerx: I have heard good things of k3b. Brasero has worked fine for me. [23:46] Ubuntu 11.04 does not see RAID drives? [23:46] thats cold [23:47] hey [23:47] rationalOgre, I'll try it too, thanks and good night. Also, good luck with the laptop. [23:47] computerx: But I've never needed many of the more advanced options. [23:47] computerx: Oh it's cleaned up now. [23:47] I'm having problem using ubuntu on my dell inspiron M5030 === abaddon_ is now known as Guest63819 [23:47] user_: That sucks! Sorry it's giving you such fits. [23:47] rationalOgre, Perhaps, but I'll remember you for it ;) [23:47] theres a problem with the graphics card driver i believe, cant find help online anywhere [23:47] bullgard4, what about this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/22232/how-to-control-order-of-startup-items-in-gnome [23:48] does anyone have any idea what i could do? [23:48] TheDead91: Do you have a router for your local network? [23:49] my usb mouse is choppy, i cant view unity ubuntu or ubuntu classic, only ubuntu classic with no effects [23:49] rationalOgre, yes, but in fact I can't touch the router [23:49] how do I manually mount a device? [23:49] how much ram do you have guest63819? [23:49] rationalOgre, I wouldn't be here if I can modify router options === Wally is now known as EvilCamel [23:49] kiichiro, sudo mount /dev/sdX /media/mountpoint [23:50] i have 3GB ram, 320 GB HDD [23:50] AMD processor [23:50] wow [23:50] kiichiro, /dev/sdX could be /dev/sdb [23:50] and ive tried ubuntu 32 bit AND 64 bit, same problems on both [23:50] I know it was bad with 256mb but that is insane === EvilCamel is now known as Wally [23:50] i believe its graphics card from what i found onnline [23:50] but their solutions didnt help me [23:50] kiichiro, /media/mountpoint - you should create this folder in order to mount in it [23:51] im using the driver they specified, but absolutely nothing chnged [23:51] doesn't give me that option to make one? [23:51] no solutions for me? [23:52] TheDead91: I would imagine it is acting as your DHCP server, no? [23:52] no [23:52] kiichiro, sudo mkdir /media/usb [23:52] ive also tried fedora, linuxmint, debian [23:52] okay tried putting it in the /external and says "Special device /dev/sdb does not exist [23:52] everything has same problem [23:52] fedora is sexy but compatibility issues [23:52] TheDead91: Then let me re-read your question as I may have misunderstood. [23:52] kiichiro, I'm not quite sure how to get the real name of the device [23:53] anyone knows why I cannot see neither type my local language in Xchat?? they just become squares... [23:53] kiichiro, somebody help here pls ;) [23:53] somebody help here pls ;) [23:53] eb3ha4el: wrong font and/or encoding [23:53] alright, if I put it in another computer would that help get the name? [23:53] Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with Java based games. I am running 11.04 64x and I downloaded and installed the latest sun-jvm. I know my hardware can run these two games very well (Minecraft and Spiral Knights). I'm wondering if maybe sun isn't my default plugin or if there is any advice any of you can give me! thanks:) [23:53] rationalOgre, it don't give any IP, every PCs now have static IP, configured manually, I can't touch the router but I need to have Static IP's Pcs and Dynamically ones [23:53] How well supported is the Core i3 IGP these days? [23:54] helpers, i have unclicked inside updates, pre release updates box, is that what I have to do? I havent found any ppa that fits the name [23:54] szal: oh thanks [23:54] TheDead91: Typically the router/gateway you use acts as the DHCP server. [23:55] kiichiro, try sudo lshw tp see what hardware will be reported under usb [23:55] I have installed 11.04 but on startup my system hangs on login screen. Apparantely I have corrupt hardware which can not use hardware accelration for graphics [23:55] helpers, seems to work, installing 4 [23:55] kiichiro, the report for the disk includes also the device name (/dev/sda) [23:55] doctorly: Minecraft runs well on OpenJDK too [23:55] kiichiro, maybe the same will happen for usb [23:56] TheDead91: You can set up a different computer on the network to act as the DHCP server and just have it point at the router for the gateway. [23:56] I'm helping a friend build a new machine, he uses Ubuntu exclusively, and he's interested in the Core i3 and using the IGP rather than an external chip, is that advisible? [23:56] szal: you have any idea how to fix it? [23:56] TheDead91: The thing I'm not undestanding is, if you already have the computers set to static IP's, why switch some of them back to dynamic? [23:56] -numeric output numeric IDs (for PCI, USB, etc.) [23:56] All I'm seeing are reports from early 2010 about it being incompatible/problematic, but time has passed... [23:56] For me it is running at about half speed, even with modified start command. That is also at the lowest settings, any ideas why? [23:57] eb3ha4el: choose encoding in the Connect dialog [23:57] I have installed 11.04 but on startup my system hangs on login screen. Apparantely I have corrupt hardware which can not use hardware accelration for graphics. Any fix for this issue? [23:57] how do you know is corrupt [23:57] szal, can you explain why I have listed 4 different versions of ff, but only can use 1? [23:57] TheDead91: You don't want to have more than one DHCP server running on the network though, because it creates conflicts. So you might want to verify for certain that your router isn't already running a DHCP server. [23:57] Maylow, sorry if I'm being a noob with this. [23:57] szal: that doesn't seem to work... I set them correctly in Network list (Xchat) but it doesnt work.. [23:58] rationalOgre, So if I set up a PC as a DHCP server, on the "level" of everyone else if I select (on windows) "use given IP adress" and i configure others ones it would work? [23:58] jspiros: what sort of performance would be required? 2d, video, 3d, crysis? [23:58] szal: fairly strange because in my laptop things work perfectly.. [23:58] rypervenche: i'd agree that my boss doesn't know very much. however, we're developing for a device that uses the 2.6.34 kernel, and he is adamant that the device's kernel is not to be upgraded [23:58] eb3ha4el: using the same font? [23:58] Can someone help me to change my ubuntu display settings to a different range during boot? I can't figure out how to get into grub, I have a fresh install of 11.04, but after the second boot (I saw the first reboot as it completed install and gave me a tour of the new features). but now when I choose Ubuntu from the boot menu, I can't even see the loading screen, my monitor says its Out of Range [23:58] TheDead91: Yeah, if you properly configure the DHCP server, even if it is a "peer" to the other computers on the network, it will assign IP addresses to any DHCP enabled clients that come along. [23:59] ksni: lots of videos, 2d stuff... I know he wants to play Diablo 3 when it comes out (and he's hoping it'll work under Wine quickly), but I don't think that's a deal-breaker [23:59] rypervenche: so i'm stuck in a bad situation [23:59] TheDead91: Like I said though, you want to make very sure that your router is not already running a DHCP server because if it is and you set up another one, you're just going to cause problems. [23:59] ksni: otherwise not heavy 3d user
