[00:07] drpfenderson, are you certain you are providing the arguments in the correct order? ln doesn't work the way many people expect it to [00:07] bigtfishbone, i was trying to figure out what package cdrecord was in. its evidently not in cdrecord. [00:07] entel, you mean in postfix configuration? [00:08] From what I understand, it is 'ln ./original.ext ./symbolic-link.ext'...is that incorrect?

I created an iso file using DVD to which I appended some files using iso master. I burned a dvd which I tried in 2 different dvds and worked in one of them, but what really troubles me is that I cant run the dvd in the same computer I used to burn it, VLC gives me the error message shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/626938/ [00:08] drpfenderson, it looks like you're doing it right [00:09] m_fulder: yes [00:09] escott, as in "sudo apt-get install brasero" ? [00:09] drpfenderson, are you creating the link in an existing folder, that you have write access to? [00:09] bigtfishbone, yes [00:10] bigtfishbone, they have instructions with screenshots on the ubuntu website [00:10] drpfenderson, also, are both your source and destination on the same partition on the same device? [00:10] wtracy, Yes. I am. At first I just "ln -s" the directory, but I only need 1 file linked, so I'm trying to just 'ln' the file.... [00:10] drpfenderson: why you are using ./ ? [00:10] wtracy, yes. Both on the same drive. [00:10] I'm not...that was an example [00:11] scott, thank you [00:11] ln -s /orig.path/file /dest/path [00:11] filo1234 | wtracy : This is what I type and get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/626939/ [00:12] wait [00:12] crap [00:12] Hey all, are there any cool unity keyboard shortcuts for moving windows between monitors in a 2 monitor setup?

[00:12] drpfenderson: okay, heh :-) [00:12] I'm on Xubuntu (10.04) and I can't find where to stop Alt+Click from grabbing the window. The window manager doesn't have this particular short-cut in it's list [00:12] Sorry - it is a bad habit. I don't mean to be flooding. Thanks anyways. >.< Can't believe it.

[00:37] now im using virtual machine, but really my cpu its an imac [00:37] i use mac but i want to try the new unity [00:37] pavlo, I'm unsure you can get 3d functions needed for unity under a vm [00:38] pavlo, so you need to actually install it [00:38] pavlo, you need to install the guest-additions [00:38] y use oracle VM Virtual Box [00:38] ok, thanks guys [00:39] hey everyone i have a question about wireless network driver [00:39] sorry for my english [00:39] i recently upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 [00:39] YoJoe: Then by all means ask it. [00:39] !ask | YoJoe [00:39] YoJoe: 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. :-) [00:39] i doing so my wireless network driver is not working [00:39] im tried uninstalling and installing it again but i cant seem to pick up wireless networks anymore [00:40] any suggestions would be greatly appreciated [00:40] YoJoe: did it used to work? [00:41] yeah, under 10.04 i had no problems locating wireless networks in the area [00:42] its only not worked since upgrading to 11.04 [00:42] okay flash sucks a lot. My comp just crashed twice in a row when watching a southpark movie. [00:42] s/****/flash isn't that great [00:42] Somelauw, I does suck, but doesn't crash here (32 bit?) [00:42] 64bit here [00:43] And using firefox4. [00:43] And a nvidia card. [00:43] Somelauw, 64 bit support for flash is bad, as far as I know, I suggest 32 bit Ubuntu [00:44] which is solely the problem of adobe, since it's proprietary software that they write badly === joeedh_afk is now known as joeedh [00:45] im using 10.04 and im happy whit firefox 3.6.17 and i dont really want to update it to 4.0.1, but i need to test some things, is there a way to install it whit other name so it wont replace the standard firefox launch and will only load if i do something like firefox-4? [00:46] GridCube: make an Ubuntu virtual machine and do it [00:46] GridCube: you can download the tar.gz from the website, install it to /opt, and link it to /usr/local/bin as any filename you want [00:47] :D th0r thats more like it [00:47] thanks [00:47] not to hog attention, but any idea about my non-working wireless network driver on 11.04 [00:47] YoJoe: What do the logs say? [00:48] logs? sorry im a newbie, what logs? [00:52] hi, once again, which logs were you saying i should check? [00:52] I will not go back to 32 just because the people at adobe don't support it. [00:53] don't worry, the flash-less web will be here in like 5 yrs anyway... [00:54] 5 years. Can vlc media player play flash movies? Maybe I will just download every movie and use vlc player. [00:54] Somelauw, gnash is said to work well with youtube [00:54] Although downloading flash movies is illegal or something, I heard. [00:55] is there a way to make the unity sidebar not show up every single time I drag something in firefox? [00:56] related: is there a "go away and die in a fire" button for the sidebar somewhere? It has a tendency to stay stuck on top of other windows for no apparent reason [00:56] Somelauw, what's your current flash 64 version? [00:56] Does anyone here know something about pgp/gpg keys? [00:57] flash 10.3 r181 [00:57] yeastwars: you are gonna have to wait for 11.10 for those features [00:57] scarleo: there's 1515 people here. Odds are that yes, there is someone who knows about gpg keys [00:58] cavalier_prime: oh well, thanks [00:58] scarleo: (my point being, just ask) [00:58] great, I'm just trying to understand, If I need to send an encrypted mail to someone, all they have to do is have their mail address registered on a key server with their public key, right? [00:58] yeastwars: I know :) [00:58] scarleo: You've got to retrieve their public key somehow. [00:59] scarleo: they don't need to be registered, they just need to send you their public key === Johnny is now known as Guest9617 [00:59] Can anyone help me with mdadm [00:59] I was actually watching southparkstudios.com instead of youtube. [00:59] scarleo: a lot of people put their public key in the signature block on their email [00:59] how to increase scrollback in xchat? [00:59] lol nvm [01:00] Corey: Well if I have pgp support in mail client, and they are registered, then we don't need to exchange keys? Because I suppose I encrypt the messages I send with his public key. Have I understood this correct? [01:00] i trying to fix my RAID6, all drives are alive and working but mdadm keep saying he cant mount the RAID with 3 drives(while there is 6) [01:00] assemble* [01:00] Guest9617: cat /proc/mdstats if memory serves it may be useful. [01:00] vague question of the day: firefox has been incredibly slow when scrolling and generally any kind of interaction such as click on a textarea to give it focus. It has also been eating ~50% ram. Halp? It wasn't as bad before I updated to natty (not that it wasn't abysmal in the first place, but still) [01:01] th0r: Ok, so I either give it to them or just send the email straight away if they are registered somewhere? [01:01] yeastwars, is it also slow on pages with no flash? [01:01] restart firefox [01:01] Corey ??? [01:01] quant: it's slow in general; I haven't noticed a pattern [01:01] I only have 50 tabs open [01:01] i tried to : mdadm -A drive1 drive2 drive3 drive4 etc, witouth any results [01:01] most of them with flash blocked [01:02] yeastwars: I have 2000 [01:02] err, 200 [01:02] Irc windows [01:02] yeastwars, try installing a cpu frequency indicator and turning your processor to top frequency all the time and see if that's the problem [01:02] quant: can you recommend a particular one? [01:02] just search google for ppa for one... there was one on omgubuntu or webupd8 or something [01:03] /65 [01:03] yeastwars, I use a ppa from sevenmachines [01:03] * yeastwars wishes firefox had a 'top' feature already [01:04] firefox + flash still seem to run somehow without memory leaks or I don't understand how to use valgrind. [01:04] er, any tips on making the Intel graphics driver's performance suck less? [01:04] Muon: install windows? [01:04] anyone else familiar with mdadm? [01:04] :\ [01:04] yeastwars: not an option [01:05] even menus open ridiculously slowly [01:06] Muon, are there proprietary drivers for it? [01:06] Wondering if anybody has experience with, or knows of a good place to look to start troubleshooting touchpad problems (not able to horizontal OR two finger scroll) [01:07] Muon, what intel processor do you have [01:07] quant: no [01:08] itaylor57: hang on, I'll pastebin /proc/cpuinfo and lspci [01:08] Muon, I have Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) and experience no lag at all [01:08] this thing is ancient [01:09] itaylor57: http://pastebin.com/LuDJYgfE === ruben is now known as Guest71136 === Guest71136 is now known as rubenjr7777 [01:09] help please [01:09] ok I really don't get it ..

[01:13] quant, can i instal games from the web on this? [01:13] Urm, I'm kinda new to Linux. And I'm trying to install spotify on it (Linux version) followed the guid on the Spotify website - to the point, but getting a "The following packages have unmet dependencies: [01:13] spotify-client-qt : Depends: libqt4-webkit (>= 4.5.0) but it is not going to be installed [01:13] E: Broken packages [01:13] " at the end [01:13] zolgar, then just choose kde session on login [01:13] hmm..pastebin next time, sorry xD [01:13] rubenjr7777, what do you mean by "games from the web"? [01:13] quant like .exe extension games [01:13] rubenjr7777, .exe files are mostly windows file that you cannot run under ubuntu [01:14] has anyone managed to install boxee in ubuntu 11.04? i'm trying a fresh install with it and there's a package i can't find: libsdl-image1.2 [01:14] ahh okay what types of games do i have to get? [01:14] rubenjr7777, ubuntu software center -> games [01:14] Trfsrfr, if you detail your issue and the steps you have taken so far someone may be able to help you [01:14] quant, they arent that good though. like are there any extreme 3d games [01:14] like call of duty black ops on here [01:14] madsailor, okay, thanks. [01:15] rubenjr7777, there are no games like that (almost) for GNU/Linux (Ubuntu or any other) [01:15] rubenjr7777, but, you may be able to run some through wine [01:16] !wine | rubenjr7777 [01:16] rubenjr7777: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:16] anyone know where I can get a backup of /etc/apt/sources.list for Ubuntu 11.04, a fresh one? [01:16] I installed a hp deskjet 3050, and have printed with it. but I cannot make it scan, and cannot find a place to adjust anything. [01:16] Muon, yes that is quite old, have you tried running classic instead of unity? [01:17] Trfsrfr, check in the software center for hplip [01:17] itaylor57: I *am* running classic [01:17] ubottu thank you [01:17] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:17] quant thank you [01:17] How do I encrypt an email in Evolution if I have recieved someones pgp/gpg public key? [01:17] quant, It didn't work, so I tried sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop, and now it seems to be installing the necessary files [01:17] rubenjr7777, sure [01:17] Hello all! I'm using ubuntu for around 2 weeks, and it's being great. But I'm having a major problem in using it more. I depend heavily on MatLab and Photoshop. And I can't use equivalents, I need the originals. Without a virtual machine, there really is no other way I can run those properlly? I've tried Wine and others but no luck. A friend of mine has MatLab for linux but I only have for windows. [01:17] zolgar, ah, right [01:18] Trfsrfr, it is a config utility for hp devices. Also, have you tried using simple scan that comes standard with ubuntu? [01:18] Sourcelist for 11.04 ? : > [01:18] itaylor57: don't even have the option to use the flash new DE trainwrecks :P [01:18] *flashy [01:18] Muon, maybe someone else more versed in classic can give you help [01:19] madsailor, I have not. All of this is fairly new to me still... [01:19] thecrazy88, haven't you, more or less, answered yourself already there? :) [01:19] itaylor57: it's not so much "classic" as it's a driver problem [01:19] Muon, you are running natty right? [01:19] I know glxgears isn't a benchmark, but I only get 20 FPS in fullscreen [01:19] yes [01:20] Trfsrfr, ok...if you go to the applications menu->graphics->simple scan this is the standard scanning utility that ubuntu ships with [01:20] and that's the "accelerated" version [01:20] quant I think so xD But wanted to be really sure I've gone through all the possibilities. So decided to ask you guys who know better than me! [01:20] it works quite well with most hardware [01:20] hey thanks [01:20] thecrazy88, all I can do is recommend gimp again and running matlab with wine perhaps (or does mathematica do the stuff you need?) [01:21] I've been battling flash, how can i get flash working on 64bit natty? === sbell is now known as TRAMP [01:22] np. Like I said, if you want to do all the fancy HP stuff like print head cleaning and aligning etc, you can install hplip from the ubuntu software center === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [01:22] im having the same problems with ubuntu and archbang but not windows and only sometimes with lubuntu [01:22] i need help with getting my laptop to connect to my lan. i have arch and kde installed === TRAMP is now known as sbell [01:23] quant thank you about gimp, didn't know about that one. I can work with mathematica for myself, but teachers don't want to learn it ahah, they only like matlab. Probably my best chance is to work out a way of having it for linux. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest44728 [01:23] thecrazy88, gimp is really good, and as for math software, besides mathematica and maple (pretty sure there's maple for gnu/linux too), there are many FOSS alternatives available that might suffice [01:24] gimme a minute [01:25] i3luefire: Curious, why ask for support for Arch in a ubuntu channel? #archlinux [01:25] quant, thank you very much for the names, I'll take a look on those alternatives ;) [01:25] thecrazy88, sure ;-) [01:25] hello all! [01:26] anyone know the apt-get command to download tight vnc for ubuntu netbook? [01:26] i just want the viewer [01:26] has anyone managed to install boxee in ubuntu 11.04? i'm trying a fresh install with it and there's a package i can't find: libsdl-image1.2 [01:26] rationalOgre: bc it is also happening in ubuntu and sometimes lubuntu [01:26] i3luefire: Sounds like a hardware issue then. [01:27] I've been battling flash, how can i get flash working on 64bit natty? i cant get it working on firefox or chromium-browser [01:27] rationalOgre: but not windoze [01:28] lost connection, sorry. [01:28] Anyone know the command line for sudo apt get install tight vnc? [01:29] If I use mtr on my router and get a 25% packet loss, does that explain why my internet is slow at times? [01:29] sam555: did you try looking for it? sudo apt-get install tight(tab tab) [01:29] earthmeLon: yes [01:29] sam555, apt-cache search tight | grep vnc and check that output [01:29] earthmeLon: packet loss means more packets have to get resent [01:29] therefore slowing everything down [01:30] Nisstyre, How can I tell that the packets are truly lost, and that the router isn't ignoring them because they ar ICMP? [01:30] earthmeLon: with TCP you can tell if a packet was lost or not [01:30] UDP is a different story [01:30] Nisstyre, do you know how to send tcp packets with mtr? [01:30] earthmeLon: TCP is guaranteed to be delivered [01:30] earthmeLon: not with mtr, no [01:31] Hmmm, is it possible with ping Nisstyre ? [01:31] earthmeLon: earthmeLon just fire up wireshark [01:31] I guess I'm just over thinking this. My router couldn't possibly be so bogged down it's ignoring ICMP/udp, eh? [01:31] and see if it's sending multiple PSH packets [01:31] aka repeats [01:32] Yes, yes, I saw many repeats last time I opened wireshark, Nisstyre . I think this fishtank behind me is borking my connection [01:32] earthmeLon: but, ping should tell you if packets are being lost... [01:32] It's the only thing between my laptop and the router [01:32] earthmeLon: huh? fishtank? [01:32] somehow I doubt it [01:32] what's your router model? [01:33] Well, don't florescent light affect radio waves? [01:33] I've never heard that... [01:33] * earthmeLon joins #physics [01:33] :P [01:33] are they magnetic? [01:33] specifically, electromagnetic? [01:34] thank quant and mtec007 [01:34] sure [01:35] earthmeLon: looks like they do produce some kind of electromagnetic radiation [01:35] so you might be right === michael is now known as Guest8361 [01:35] Nisstyre, maybe his yellow tangs are full of heavy metals like tuna or swordfish and that is swallowing the lost packets ;) [01:36] it would still have to be on the same frequency though [01:36] Gents [01:36] anyone with good mdadm knowledge can help me with this http://pastebin.com/E7i0cv3u [01:36] earthmeLon, I really don't think that affects your connection [01:36] lol Nisstyre I turned the light off and the % loss is decreasing consistantly [01:37] is there a way to see io stats graphically, similar to cpu, memory, network? [01:37] How do I install Windows 7 + ubuntu on the same raid array (Windows already installed) when ubuntu can't see it in the installer. [01:37] Does anyone have any ideas on getting flash to work on 64bit natty? [01:37] earthmeLon: I don't believe you [01:37] Will you believe youtube, Nisstyre ? [01:37] dijonyummy, the 'system monitor' has a network tab [01:38] earthmeLon: possibly [01:38] It went from 30% down to 10% and now it's flux'ing between 10-14% [01:38] problem with update manager: i load it and I see a list of package updates. I click install updates button, the window blinks for a second and them I am brought back to the update manager screen. any ideas on how i can debug? [01:38] Anybody? [01:38] Hey guys I'm having alot of trouble installing openvpn on ubuntu 10.03 does anyone have a guide that is VERY NOOB friendly? [01:39] earthmeLon: that's not proof the light caused it though [01:39] dan_, sudo apt-get upgrade? [01:39] madsailor: but thats network not, disk io [01:40] Absolutely not Nisstyre. Proof would be 1%. It's actually back up to 19%. so, yeah, the effect (if any) was minimal [01:40] dijonyummy123, ahhhh..sry idk offhand [01:40] Nisstyre, If I opened wireshark, would it tell me WHY/HOW the packets are being lost? [01:40] im trying to add a second ati card to my 11.04 box === Imaonline is now known as Skeeter- [01:40] quant: hmm, that seems to be working. thanks. wonder why the GUI doesnt work, though [01:41] earthmeLon: Where are you seeing packet loss? [01:41] its not recognizing whichever card is in the 2nd slot, but it is showing up in pci-e [01:41] dan_, try after upgrade, but I doubt it will be different, and no idea why it's not working, sorry [01:41] quant: will do. thanks [01:41] why is the group of users allowed to become root called "wheel"? [01:41] Between my wlan0->router (so, first hop) [01:41] dan_, sure [01:41] earthmeLon: Ah, over wireless then? [01:41] Anyone know why this command isnot working sudo apt-get install openvpn [01:41] Yes, Corey. [01:41] earthmeLon: Did you try changing channels / base station positioning? [01:41] it might be a power issue but im curious what i need to do to get it to show up either way [01:42] myloveisnick, what's the reported error? [01:42] E: Couldnt find package openvpn [01:42] myloveisnick, perhaps because there's no package openvpn then? [01:42] earthmeLon: what's your network adapter model? [01:42] would it show up in pci-e even if its under powered? [01:42] earthmeLon: Ideal world, you'd run 5ghz and bypass the overloaded 2.4ghz spectrum, but that requires newer hardware than many folks have. [01:42] quant sorry noob here how should I go about getting it? === mohammad is now known as Guest81533 [01:42] Im using putty [01:43] myloveisnick, that package is not available in repositories, it might have a diffrent name, I don't know what you're after [01:43] earthmeLon: also, did you try fiddling with the router antenna? Sometimes the best position isn't the most obvious. [01:43] I guess Im just trying to install openvpn on this ubuntu vps [01:43] but I cant figure out how to get it to install in the first place, all of the guides online just state that command [01:43] Nobody got any ideas for my issue? [01:43] madsailor, you still around? [01:43] it should actually be so the side of the antenna is facing your direction [01:44] myloveisnick, are you on natty? [01:44] anybody about? [01:45] natty? [01:45] myloveisnick, 11.04 [01:45] Corey, I've got DD-WRT on a D-Link DIR-615-E3/E4 . Channel 10. Mixed (2.4GHz). I do not see a 5GHz option on it [01:45] Yes [01:45] Noo [01:45] myloveisnick, apt-get install openvpn does work on my natty [01:45] 10.04 [01:45] ubuntu 10.04 === Guest8361 is now known as kiichiro [01:45] myloveisnick, it's not in 10.04 repos then [01:45] ah [01:46] Corey, if I understand correctly, there are 'blind-spots' at the TOP and BOTTOM of the antenna. I normally position one antenna straight up, and another 45deg offset so that I amnot towards the point [01:46] earthmeLon: What's the distance from the router to the machine in question? [01:46] Anyone know of a tutorial on how to add Windows 7 from an OEM disc onto a USB disk? [01:47] quant, myloveisnick, Ubuntu package search says Lucid has an openvpn package [01:47] illmortal, this is ubuntu support [01:47] right... using Ubuntu <_<; [01:47] Corey. 10-15ft. There is a wall (sheet-rock) and a fish tank in the way. I have turned off the florescent light, although I have been told that should have no/minimal effect [01:48] earthmeLon: Crappy microwave, cordless phone nearby? [01:48] earthmeLon: Lots of other networks visible in the network list? [01:48] I have two AP's in 'vision'. One on channel 10. One on channel 4. There are no others [01:49] Corey, wicd shows 90% signal strength [01:49] How do I install Windows 7 + ubuntu on the same raid array (Windows already installed) when ubuntu can't see it in the installer. [01:50] Has ubuntu 11 removed xen bindings in favor of kvm? [01:51] Clockmens: the alternate cd ? [01:52] Will that work? Currently im on the live CD, and I seed my RAID array as seperate drives [01:52] see* [01:52] Is it a hardware raid or software? [01:52] Hi, [01:52] Pretty sure its hardware [01:52] Corey, I am going to go to a LAN pc and ensure myself that it is indeed the wireless causing the issue, although I do believe it is. [01:53] ASUS Crosshair IV Formula, using the built in [01:53] Clockmens, make sure it's configured then usually you can log in during bios startup [01:53] When I installed windows I had to load a driver from CD. [01:53] a [01:54] but I defined the raid array in bios === db is now known as Guest51618 [01:54] Thats hardware, right? [01:54] does ubuntu offer a printer/copier/scanner folder somewhere? I need more than a 'simple scan'. [01:54] i can not use ubuntu as well as use winxp [01:55] Clockmens: the alternate cd does raid I think [01:55] is tu stange [01:55] How do i open multiple terminal session in ubuntu? I can´t find the option to do so. [01:55] i updated yesterday to 11.04 and now every hour cron is sending this error [01:55] quickslvr, it's a funny thing, open new terminal tabs from the menu [01:55] quickslvr: middle click [01:55] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xmlrpc.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xmlrpc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [01:55] quickslvr, shift+ctrl+n [01:55] or use urxvt :D [01:55] any ideas how to fix it? [01:55] Hilikus: yes [01:55] quant: yeah did that but it keeps going to the session already opened. [01:56] Hilikus: compile xmlrpc.so [01:56] robin0800: Ill try the alternate, thanks [01:56] or comment out that module in the php.ini file [01:56] what key need to press to show grub menu ? [01:56] quickslvr, what others said, or open new tab and drag it out [01:56] Also, why is my close button etc. on the top LEFT of the window, I want it on the right? [01:56] shift+ctrl+n works :) [01:56] thx! [01:56] emulates mac [01:57] hi, my laptop starts up completely dim, I have to use setpci to change brightness, how can I fix this? [01:57] Yeah but I don't like Mac, I want it like Windows. [01:57] hehe change the theme [01:57] aguitel: right shift [01:57] Clockmens, you can set it up to be on the right, google it, I don't know it by heart [01:57] Clockmens: Change it in gconf [01:57] Nisstyre: why do i need to compile it myself?? [01:57] been doing the research on the forums, was wondering if someone knew of a good solution [01:57] Hilikus: you don't [01:57] Hilikus: you can install it as a package too [01:58] Nisstyre: so why did you suggest compiling it? [01:58] Hilikus: you asked for ideas :P [01:58] dev.mysql.com says `On Linux use hdparm -m16 -d1 on the disks on boot to enable reading/writing of multiple sectors at a time, and DMA. This may increase the response time by 5-50 %. ` - how do I check whether these values are set already? hdparm -m /dev/sda for exampe says multcount = 0 (off) - so this is not activated, true? hdparm -d /dev/sda says HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [01:58] it's not a bad thing to learn how to compile a library though [01:59] Nisstyre: i already know, i just try to avoid it since it creates unstable systems quite easily [01:59] pilot_g2: what kind of lappy? nvidia on 10.04 needs to have xorg.conf modified [02:00] Nisstyre: do you know which package has this library? [02:00] Nisstyre, Corey. Kid in the other room turned on his crt tv. What a jerk-face. That was the problem [02:00] Hilikus: only if you create conflicts [02:00] glassresistor: no, it has an intel gma card [02:00] Hilikus: no I don't know the exact name it would be [02:00] hum but the brightness control buttons don't work? [02:00] just search for xmlrpc I guess [02:00] it's an emachines eme527 [02:00] nope === chad is now known as ebah [02:01] pilot_g2: ok hum it could either be that you need to set the function keys or that you need to tell xorg.conf to enable brightness control [02:01] Actually, no, that wasn't the problem Corey Nisstyre v_v. Was too hasty to get excited [02:01] earthmeLon: I've never heard of CRTs doing it either... [02:01] earthmeLon: did you try fiddling with the antennas again? [02:01] earthmeLon, any tesla coils around? [02:01] where do I access scan/printer options? [02:02] glassresistor: well, the brightness keys make that brightness control pop up on-screen, just doesn't do anything [02:02] Is it possible to read/write to ufs2(freebsd) partition in ubuntu. Trying to move from freebsd server to ubuntu server. [02:02] pilot_g2: xorg.conf then [02:02] What are you suggestions on positioning, Nisstyre ? Should they both be parallel? Should I try to have them at different angles? [02:02] Hey, I just did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04, removed some packages (pertaining to evolution and empathy), and now my clock indicator applet is gone. What package do I have to reinstall to get it back? [02:02] earthmeLon: I'd try making them both parallel at first maybe [02:02] and then go from there [02:03] glassresistor: okay thanks, i'll look into it [02:03] i do too much on my laptop besides browse web, word processing. i cant upgrade to 11.04/unity or will suffer. just want something stable and flexible [02:03] Raikia, indicator-datetime possibly [02:03] earthmeLon: ##networking might have some better ideas [02:03] quant: Thanks, Ill try that [02:03] pilot_g2: in xorg.conf under device try this "Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"" [02:04] whats the equivalent of killall gnome-panel for 11.04? [02:04] Raikia: pkill gnome-panel ? [02:05] oh, no. killall mutter [02:05] glassresistor: okay, thanks, will let you know if it works after I restart X [02:05] Nisstyre: what panel do you mean? [02:06] robin0800: that was in response to his question [02:06] Sorry, I shouldn't answer a question with a question [02:06] Raikia, unity-panel-service maybe [02:06] is there anything in the software center that will zip a batch of files individually? [02:07] Is Arch Linux basically setting up your own distro from scratch? And is there any particular advantage to that distro over others? Also, as someone who has been using Kubuntu/Ubuntu on and off for two years, what would be some other distros to try out? [02:07] Raikia, mutter is for gnome3 [02:07] earthmeLon: Yeah, radio's a fun thing. [02:07] dallas1: no it isn't [02:07] dallas1: the advantage is that it's exactly what you want (more or less) [02:07] It'll be worth it once I figure it out. I'm reading that glass/mirrors *CAN* cause signals to bounce/fail, Corey, Nisstyre [02:08] haha [02:08] mirrors? [02:08] wow [02:08] earthmeLon: don't forget the smoke [02:09] dallas1: also Arch is a rolling release distro, so you get updates quicker than other distros [02:09] downside is that it's a lot of downloading [02:09] Is libre office rebranded openoffice or something different? [02:09] Clockmens, yes [02:09] But Openoffice sucks :*( [02:09] nisstyre: Ahhhhh, I see. [02:10] anyone know what room to go to for help with KML? [02:10] i tried going to #google/googleapi/kml, but none of those had people that were alive [02:11] I have a question, why should a generic office/desktop user ever use any distro other than ubuntu? [02:11] quant: Thanks, that worked! [02:12] Clockmens: when the don't like unity in 11.10 [02:12] Clockmens: there some other *nix distros aimed at people not too knowledgeable, e.g. Mint, OpenSuSE, PC-BSD [02:12] *are some [02:12] lol @ robin0800 [02:12] PC-BSD is lol though [02:13] Nisstyre, Networking directed me to http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/367681/what-can-get-in-wi-fis-way [02:14] earthmeLon: so get rid of all of those possibilities [02:14] and if it's still losing packets then it's something else [02:14] Yeah, GF won't be happy to get rid of her 125gal fish tank [02:14] how can i still a deb package with all its dependencies? [02:14] Just thought you'd like to read it, because it has a goodlist of problematic things (some of whichyou said you weren't sure could cause interference) === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [02:15] Hey, so I just installed ubuntu 11.04 and my desktop notifications (from notify-send) is posting the notifications on my right monitor when my left monitor is primary. Is there a way to fix this? (I have two monitors. left is primary). It worked fine in ubuntu 10.10. [02:15] earthmeLon: anything that causes electromagnetic radiation can in theory cause interference [02:15] Hilikus: I like gdebi [02:16] Nisstyre, sunlight is em radiation :) [02:16] quant: yeah [02:16] which is why I'm still skeptical [02:16] Nisstyre, he needs specific type of em to get interference, and I don't think it's happening [02:19] I'm having trouble with Ubuntu Server. Everytime I go to install the base system, it gives me errors that 'this file' is corrupt. I've burned like 3-4 disks or more, so its not my disks. and I've downloaded it from ubuntu.com so what could the problem be? [02:19] burn it slowly [02:20] Kevin147, your hard drive could be the problem [02:20] Kevin147: "md5sum *.iso" [02:20] and compare it to the md5 on the site [02:20] Can someone recommend me a distro outside of Ubuntu? I've been using that for quite a while and I'm kind of looking for a new (perhaps more "advanced") experience, as well as trying out desktops other than Gnome (like KDE and what not). [02:21] quant: how can my HD be the problem? I can burn ubuntu 11.04 on it just fine. I just want the server version on it, and I get a bunch of crap. [02:21] dallas1: Arch or Debian [02:21] dallas1, debian, but that's not really an ubuntu support question :) [02:21] but, thanks for the information yarddog, because I use kde pclos on my desktop, and it burns in like 30 seconds with k3b. or whatever its called. so that must be the problem. thanks! [02:22] Kevin147, because tens of thousands of people are downloading that same file with no problem... so I doubt that the .iso is damaged, check other options [02:22] dallas1, you can install kde on ubuntu [02:23] escott: What's the difference between KDE and Gnome? From what I understand it has more "freedom". === jwulf is now known as jwulf_afk [02:23] dallas1: don't listen to the people saying that [02:23] it's just a different style of desktop manager [02:23] they're both free open source software [02:24] dallas1, i dont know what that means. [02:24] some people are fascists about software only being free if it has a "GPL compatible" license [02:24] Nisstyre: So you can do just as much with your desktop using Gnome as you coulkd with a KDE one? [02:24] yes [02:25] I just upgraded my ubuntu server from 9.04 to 10.04 (via 9.10); the server is connected via wlan(wpa2,54MB); the problem started with 9.10: the download speed from the server to any computer in the lan is now down to 100kB total (apache, samba), while uploading is still where it was @~700kB any idea how I can fix that? [02:25] alguem pode me ajudar? [02:25] dallas1, i think the "freedom" people might be talking about would be a distinction between gpl and non-gpl'ed software which was more relevant when kde wasn't fully gpl'ed these days it is [02:25] !es | diegoribeiro [02:25] diegoribeiro: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[02:26] jazz2: are you sure it is just upgrade/soft problem? doesnt seems like one [02:26] kernelpanicker, ruby1.9 is in apt [02:27] tmg, all was good with 9.04, so I guess it is related [02:27] Im having some issues with a semi complex script, http://pastebin.com/8A872nmB - Using netcat, I wish to proxy the traffice from a internal server, LZMA it, pass it over the nextwork, and the client decompresses and passes it to the Client program, and two way traffic is a must, This script fails to work, when something tries to connect to port 1990 on the client, it just resets the socket [02:27] escott: I know... I just found that out... so since I just installed 1.9.1 myself, and will use apt-get to install 1.9.2 I don't want to lay down multiple versions. [02:28] jazz2: so maybe some hw problem, if config is the same i will go into drivers tests [02:28] kernelpanicker, make uninstall then [02:28] aha [02:28] ok [02:29] tmg, I kept the configs, how would I go about testing the drivers? [02:29] jazz2: what i mean you should notice kernel change and maybe it is not workin well in new version [02:31] tmg, hm maybebe, but what doesn't make sense is that I still can upload to the server at the normal speed and only the download is effected === mRy is now known as Guest93442 [02:32] well sounds weird, what about your ISP? didnt they change anything? I know my questions sounds childlish but, the same is that something just stoped work.. ;] === administrator is now known as Guest44224 [02:33] tmg, it's in the lan [02:34] oh, so you have low transfers just on eth ? [02:34] hardware or cable problem then [02:35] i realy cant see a reason why software, distro, change can affect that [02:36] tmg, it's wlan0 on the server (so no cable :), if it was hardware the upload would be affected too ... [02:37] not if it is d-link or something [02:37] these are weird on wire ;p [02:37] i mean on wireless [02:39] anyway does your wlan workin at all? can you see AP and just not connect or it doesnt work at all? === administrator_ is now known as ltsp-user_ [02:41] it's no d-link, all is good, except the speed from the server into the lan [02:41] anyone around know anything about using HP thin clients with LTSP on Ubuntu server? [02:41] JRWR: That is crazy confusing what you have going on there. [02:43] jazz2: and no shape or orher weird configs to limit the traffic, even at netwok switch or so? [02:43] JRWR: The cilent is a win7 box, correct? Did you open up the builtin windows firewall to allow connections? [02:43] irc.magelangcyber.web.id [02:43] hey ... i have ubuntu 11.04 and i wanted to change that bar on the side (left) to the bottom of my screen.. how do i do that [02:43] tmg, nothing that I know off, unless something was introduced with 9.10 and 10.04 [02:43] first day using linux (; [02:44] david, you can't [02:45] jazz2: then it sounds odd, if you just did change distro and keep configs and no problems with new kernel such like drivers then i have no idea what is goin on [02:45] david: which wm? [02:45] ): [02:45] ok [02:46] david: Ubuntu head Mr. Shuttleworth sez, "noh!" [02:46] david: One of the reasons I will probably never use Unity. [02:46] jazz2, newer card firmware or ipv6 problem [02:46] david: the easiest way is to put some window near the bar, the bar will go into hidden mode then and you have no problem ;p [02:47] david: if you don't like how your de/wm looks use a different one. theres plenty available that do let you customize how they look completely ground up [02:47] tmg, hmm that is too bad, I wanted to avoid making a clean install, thanx [02:47] so I installed 11.04 on my EEE PC netbook [02:47] which window manager should I set up now? [02:47] MistuhKurtz: which one do you like? [02:47] david: That's not an option (yet). They wanted to work on a nice default and then add customization. [02:47] robin0800, nothing changed except the upgrading [02:47] idk, haven't used linux in a long time [02:47] rationalOgre: I'd like to see the source of that if you don't mind. [02:47] something light weight I guess, because I'd like to make it a music server [02:47] jazz2: sorry but it is realy hard to give any strict advice when i dont know your hardware, changes and im not on the box to see all dmesg etc [02:48] hey is anyone good with WIneHQ [02:48] MistuhKurtz: you don't need a wm at all then...just mpd...but uhm openbox xmonad awesome dwm stumpwm are all pretty light [02:48] Omega: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415 [02:48] Ubuntu bug 668415 in NULL Project "Movement of Unity launcher" [Undecided,New] [02:48] i installed microsoft office and word works great.. but excel says it is not installed for the current user? [02:48] Omega: Second post down. [02:48] tmg, dmesg didn't show anything out of the ordinary [02:49] all was recognized as it was before [02:49] I'm getting lost in all of these how-tos, and for some reason it's weird to google... Any of you guys can do this easy: how do I copy all the contents of a folder to another folder? Or: How do I rename a folder? (In terminal) [02:49] jazz2, don't think ipv6 was in earlier releases [02:49] Omega: It's not something they wanted to 'clean up' first. Shuttleworth has decided it WONT be movable. Period. [02:49] celthunder, mt-dappd has been a pain in the ass so far [02:49] for some reason it's not picking up any of my files [02:49] maybe i need to chmod them? [02:49] jazz2: so it is much harder to findout.. well, you are still on better position to findout because you're on the box/net [02:50] david: uhm each user gets there own .wine/drive_c folder (aka fake drive_c [02:50] kajakajo: mv [02:50] MistuhKurtz: idk i just use mpd for my media server [02:50] guampa, thanks. [02:50] mpd? [02:50] np [02:50] MistuhKurtz: but yeah who owns the files/what're the rights on them vs what's running the media server [02:50] MistuhKurtz: music player daemon [02:51] Omega: Did you see the link? === traskers_ is now known as traskers [02:51] they're MP3s i've ripped or purchased [02:51] mostly into electronic music that i couldn't torrent if i tried [02:51] :PO [02:51] wew [02:51] MistuhKurtz: who is running the media player and where're the files located/what're the permissions on them [02:51] I'm lamer [02:51] robin0800, I have ipv4 in my lan; and it's a wierd problem uploadig to the server is still at the normal speed while downloading from the server is a drag [02:51] :) [02:51] rationalOgre: I did, I am still reading through the thread, thanks for the link. [02:52] they're on my EEEPC [02:52] on my local network [02:52] just trying to stream to my iphone or my mac [02:52] on the local network [02:52] although, it'd be cool to be able to access it remotely [02:52] tmg, yes I could find out, if only I knew what I should be looking for [02:53] but setting up dynamic DNS and everything to make it remotely accessible is an entirely different beast [02:53] gmesg, tcpdump [02:53] just trying to get it working on my local server for now [02:53] local network* [02:54] i found a tool to , among other things, create and view packets manually in the terminal. how do i find what it was called? [02:55] jazz2: try everyting including mtu change etc.. [02:55] tmg, I'll try to figure out how to use tcpdump [02:55] tmg, thx [02:58] MistuhKurtz: You seem to be misunderstanding the questions. They aren't about intellectual property concerns. They are about filesystem permissions both of the files themselves and the directory in which they are located. [02:58] they are in /home/music [02:58] er [02:58] /home/username/music [02:58] ~/Music [02:58] yes [02:59] MistuhKurtz: Ok, and if you run ls -l in ~/music who "owns" the files. [02:59] ? [02:59] # irc magelang cyber [03:00] ummmmmmmmmm [03:00] MistuhKurtz: You should see something like "username username" towards the middle column of the output of ls -l [03:00] I'll have to run that [03:00] when i get home [03:00] MistuhKurtz: Or perhaps "root root" [03:00] b/c i don't have it on me [03:00] rationalOgre: sheesh i leave for 2 minutes and he answers :) [03:00] celthunder: Have to ask questions the right way. :P [03:01] Need suggestions for pdf viewer that will open adobe documents [03:01] moes: xpdf [03:01] moes: Document Viewer is built in and able to read pdf's. [03:01] interesting, my usb just randomly mounted itself, I've been on for about an hour now [03:02] moes: xpdf is the lightest one i know of evince is ok theres a few others apt-cache search pdf [03:02] hi. why doesn't emerald work anymore? [03:02] hello is it okay if beginners come in here? [03:02] i'm kinda peeved, cause I use emerald and love it. [03:03] moes: Also known as "evince" [03:03] edmin: no no beginners allowed...wait i'd have to kick myself...whats up [03:03] please help me. [03:03] rationalOgre: evince has like 20 dep's doesn't it? [03:03] celthunder, Yes I found xpdf will give it a try [03:03] I want my emerald decorator backk. [03:03] celthunder: hehe. [03:03] thanks. I'm creating a webserver with my daughter [03:03] celthunder: I don't know. It may. [03:03] rationalOgre, Evince would not open the document [03:03] but the index.html file is in a folder that I do not have access to [03:03] edmin: ok? [03:04] edmin: /var/www? [03:04] moes: xpdf, areader, kpdf and more [03:04] without chown or chmod it [03:04] yes [03:04] edmin: yeah you're not supposed to [03:04] I'd like to take ownership of it but then revert it back so only root has access [03:05] edmin: What server? [03:05] edmin: if you want you can enable usermod and then set the home dir for Default to your home dir/public_html and chmod that entire folder 755 [03:05] I don't want to have it hacked 5 seconds after I change it [03:05] edmin: that's assuming it's apache not nginx or anything [03:05] edmin: I mean what webserver. [03:05] the link is utech.dyndns.info [03:05] can you get to it as is [03:05] * infinitux wonders if he is invisible. [03:05] rationalOgre: pretty sure apache2 nginx has a diff default directory [03:05] please don't bring it down [03:05] infinitux: indeed you are [03:06] celthunder: yeah. [03:06] celthunder: It's apatche2 [03:06] celthunder: http://utech.dyndns.info/blah [03:06] I'm not able to ftp to this box yet [03:07] rationalOgre edmin how'd you want to do it or just edit the site as root ad chmod all the files as needed [03:07] edmin: Ok, so why not just point your apache2.conf to a directory you are able to edit with your user account? [03:07] rationalOgre: edmin see above statement by me [03:07] I connect but when I go to move the files, my linux server states something about not being able to get the file size so it never actually moves to this server === tum is now known as Guest243 [03:07] ? [03:08] what's the exact error and are you using binary or ascii mode?? [03:08] Can you move a file and paste the error. [03:08] anyone know why unity's launcher bar isn't remembering icon placement? [03:08] your saying I can move files with sudo? [03:08] do you have the syntacs [03:08] edmin: yeah....mv [03:09] I'm working with 3-4 books and on line [03:09] edmin: but sort of not the best way to do that [03:09] so sudo mv index.html ~/var/www [03:09] something like that? [03:09] edmin: yes [03:09] wait [03:09] no [03:09] edmin: um, [03:09] NO [03:09] get rid of the ~ [03:10] edmin: that will error on you if you run it like that. [03:10] unless your home dir is / [03:10] okay if the file is in my home folder how will it know to back out to var [03:10] edmin: It won't. [03:10] I'll give it a shot so my questions are better [03:11] edmin: hold up a sec, we have to start you like almost all the way at the beginning I think. [03:11] okay [03:11] Hi! I need to restart the daemon which runs the mouse under U11.04. I tried "sudo service gpm restart" but is says gpm: unrecognized service. how do I restart that? thanks! [03:11] rationalOgre: edmin probably [03:11] sorry yes I'm very new [03:11] edmin: Ok, how's your understanding of linux in general? This your first time using it? [03:11] gNewPower: ? dbus? [03:11] nill [03:11] celthunder, dunno? [03:11] edmin: It's quite ok. We all were there at some point. [03:11] gNewPower: /etc/init.d/dbus restart [03:12] celthunder, lemme try [03:12] edmin: Right. So you have little to no understanding of what the commands you are issuing are doing. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's important to be aware of it. [03:12] I'm able to install from the shell, using apt-get [03:12] edmin: Ok, cool. So I imagine you ran something like "sudo apt-get install apache2" right? [03:12] yes [03:12] apache2 [03:13] I may have gotten it installing lamp [03:13] edmin: Ok. [03:13] i'd have to go through my notes [03:13] celthunder, X crashed [03:13] rationalOgre: can i pm you real quick? [03:13] celthunder: Sure. [03:14] edmin: Now, you have a shiny new apache2 installation on your system. Your next step is to learn how to configure it. Right now the DocumentRoot is set to /var/www, but your user account most likely does not have access to that folder. [03:15] you are exactly right. [03:15] why I can't edit or modify the file "etc/default/grub" ??? I have gedit installed :-S [03:15] edmin: So what I suggest doing is going to the Apache2 documentation website and reading up about configuring apache2 for ubuntu [03:15] I took owner of it on an earlier try, but then didn't know how to undo it [03:15] edmin: Probably better to just google "apache2 configuration ubuntu [03:16] thanks I'll give that a shot... [03:16] exit [03:16] quit [03:16] /exit [03:16] edmin: put a / before the command [03:17] why I can't edit or modify the file "etc/default/grub" ??? I have gedit installed :-S [03:19] BigPalabra: gksu gedit /etc/default/grub [03:19] BigPalabra: it would be /etc/default/grub and chances are you need to do what celthunder said. [03:19] though I would use gksudo [03:19] but that's just me. :D [03:19] hi ,i there is something wrong with my plymouth installation . I can't find the plymouth script in (initrd)/script/init-bottom [03:20] celthunder: what do you mean with gksu ??? [03:20] Normally in other newly installed ubuntu , i can find that plymouth file in initrd file [03:20] in the time that I spent away from my question here, i fixed my emerald issue myself - no thanks to you guys. lol [03:20] Can someone running vlc do 'top' and tell me how much virtual memory the process is using? [03:21] infinitux: good so if you'd googled rather than wasting our time we'd all be happier :) [03:22] Lewoco: that would depend on what you're loading/watching at the time [03:22] Lewoco: nobody's goign to end up with the same result as you and likely not even close [03:23] im using nmap, is there a faster why ton gey os info about the network [03:23] celthunder, I'm using 700-800MBs, is that normal? [03:23] Lewoco: idk...i hate vlc [03:23] Lewoco: i'm guessing if you have a 700mb file open and it's in ram sure [03:24] I am using ubuntu 10.10 . It boots slow with a 10 seconds or more delay when running init-bottom. [03:24] Does anyone know how to solve this. [03:24] rational0gre, I don't think a 1.6ghz intel atom n450 + 1ghz of RAM (upgradeable to 2gb) could stream video in UpNp too well could it? [03:24] bsmith093: depends what's all on the network and yeah sure log into the routers/switches and look [03:25] MistuhKurtz: sure it could...i got an atom 280 with 2GB f ram and a 500GB hdd [03:25] MistuhKurtz: it's streamed just fine... [03:26] MistuhKurtz: I used to stream video off my old p4-1.8ghz + 1gb ram, so it should be able to. [03:26] rationalOgre & celthunder: thx for your help [03:26] nice [03:26] it's got an internal 160GB HDD [03:27] MistuhKurtz: depends on the network too [03:27] I think i might connect an external USB HDD and use it as a sort of NAS as well [03:27] local home network, ethernet cable [03:27] at least for the EEE PC (server) and the xbox, they'd be on ethernet [03:27] yeah that clarifies...10Mbit 100Mbit 1Gbit? twisted pair? [03:28] my macbook pro would probably be on WiFi [03:28] not exactly sure atm, things are up in the air 'casue i'm moving [03:28] so I'm gonna set this all up when i get home [03:28] I also wanna set up the EEE PC as a torrent box [03:29] MistuhKurtz: I also want to do that [03:29] which eee pc you got lolcat? [03:32] benefit to setting up my EEE PC as a media server: i can always unplug it and have a tiny little laptop with all my music on it to fuck around with wherever :D [03:32] the default ubuntu window manager is the slightest bit sluggish though [03:32] any ideas for a better WM? [03:33] the Ubuntu Netbook Remix thing intrigues me, but, i don't know if that's a WM or a distro? [03:33] MistuhKurtz: MistuhKurtz you don't need a wm or a de for a server...with that said i listed a bunch before dwm openbox xmonad (the one i use) awesome stumpwm [03:33] !language | MistuhKurtz [03:33] MistuhKurtz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:34] sorry :3 [03:34] I come from #web where we curse like sailors [03:34] MistuhKurtz: Good idea, Apocalipse Now! [03:34] ^5 [03:34] I'm trying to use a USB wireless card that uses the p54usb driver, but I keep getting the error "cannot load firmware isl3886lrb (-2)" even though I have /lib/isl3886usb.fw [03:34] Morning.. [03:34] do I have it in the wrong place or something? [03:34] MistuhKurtz: sokay. Netbook Remix was folded into 11.04. It's not a different thing anymore. [03:34] well i wanna have a WM incase i want to unplug it and use it as a notebook [03:34] instead of a server [03:35] so is netbook remix like a specialized window manager then? [03:36] i'm kind of confused as to what it is [03:36] b/c the 10" screen can be a little painful sometimes :P [03:36] MistuhKurtz, netbook remix is now called Unity and the default windows manager for 11.04 [03:36] I can't move windows any longer, anyone know whats up? [03:36] i see [03:36] for desktop 11.04? [03:36] yes [03:36] MistuhKurtz: Pick any from that list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers [03:37] Tekk_: just install the linux-firmware-nonfree package, that has the firmware for p54usb (it goes in /lib/firmware) [03:37] why's it feel kinda sluggish if it's supposed to be optimized for low powered netbooks [03:37] lol [03:37] Tekk_: however, if this is natty, the device won't work unless you upgrade to linux-image-2.6.38-10 (which has the patch that fixes it) [03:37] MistuhKurtz: because it's not [03:38] MistuhKurtz: unity is a full 3d desktop, you want unity-2d [03:38] trism: ....of course [03:38] trism: packages.ubuntu.com has deb links? [03:38] Tekk_: yes [03:38] apt-get trism? [03:38] o lol [03:38] trism is a user [03:39] MistuhKurtz: sudo aptitude install unity-2d [03:39] !apt [03:39] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [03:39] difference between apt-get and aptitude ? [03:39] MistuhKurtz: aptitude has better conflict resolution [03:39] MistuhKurtz, give the 10.04 netbook remix ago... much better in look/feel and performance === raju1 is now known as raju [03:40] MistuhKurtz, 10.04 LTs netbook edition i meant to say/type [03:40] hm [03:40] thx === Wally is now known as IncgnitoMan === IncgnitoMan is now known as Wally [03:46] anyone on not being able to move windows [03:46] ?? [03:46] you have the titlebar and controls chad_ ? [03:46] ya [03:47] I can even right click and select move but nothing happens [03:47] So, I'm trying to install 11.04 on one of my pcs. The box doesnt have a cdrom drive hooked up so im doing it via usb. I used the universal usb stick crator tool to create a bootable usb stick, booted into ubuntu just fine installed to the hard drive just fine (so it seems) but when i reboot without the usb stick it can't find a disk to boot from. any ideas? [03:47] hiipii: just one hard drive on the system? [03:47] if i boot back into the live usb i can mount the harddrive and it appears to have all the files on it [03:47] ust one hard drive ya [03:47] hiipii: is it dedicated to ubuntu, or dual boot? [03:48] dedicated [03:48] grub installed to the usb perhaps [03:48] yea it seems to me like a grub issue, but im not much of an expert and ive been fiddling with grub, grub0install etc for a while but getting no where [03:48] do you boot into a grub prompt? [03:49] no it doesnt boot at all [03:49] dr_Willis, I answered but I forgot to hight light you [03:49] says no system disk found or some such thing after post [03:49] HI [03:49] Tekk_: sorry, it seems the new kernel isn't on packages.ubuntu.com yet (or I can't find it), since it is still in proposed, but it is here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic [03:50] grub never got on the hd sounds like [03:51] fixing grub on a friends pc here. [03:51] why wouldnt the install put grub on the hd its installing to though? [03:51] they really need a fixgrub item on the cd. [03:51] Tekk_: oops, wrong link again, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic [03:51] it got confysed. === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [03:51] because of the usb drive i assume?

[03:54] you can install grub to both usb and the hd. for a backup === jgp is now known as jgpzen [03:55] Any way to determine SATA controller speed through CLI? hdparm just gives true speed.

[03:57] sda is the harddrive sdb the usb thumbdrive with install media [03:58] hiipii: Notice anything odd about /dev/sda [03:58] hello, if I have an ed2k's link, how could I download it? [03:58] hiipii: Like, the fact that none of the partitions are bootable... [03:58] aye, i just dont know how to fix it [03:58] sudo fdisk /dev/sda [03:59] when that comes up hit "a" [03:59] without quotes [03:59] and then 1 [03:59] then w [03:59] i have a problem with lxde, where the terminal transparency is displaying the purple-ish ubuntu background on gdm instead of my wallpaper. any idea whats up with that? [04:00] Ubuntu is way better then Mac os x [04:00] mac is bullshlt os [04:00] Hello There [04:01] cvd: hi [04:01] phong_: darwin isnt half bad actually. i quite like netbsd. :P [04:01] im not sure grub needs the bootable flag any more. but it wont hurt [04:01] dr_Willis: it doesn't [04:01] Any know why ubuntu 11.04 automatically ramdon logout ? [04:02] cvd: more detail? [04:02] cvd: sounds weird. you mean from your x session? [04:02] cvd its x crashibg most likely and gdm restarting [04:02] dr_Willis: celthunder Just informed me of that. learn something new... [04:02] not a logout [04:02] rationalOgre: dr_Willis it doens't and honestly...never did...that was just windows bootloader [04:03] is there any linux program that can open multiple pdfs or chm files, and allow you to save the workspace. so that you dont have to find several files and reopen them manually when you start the app again? sort of like kate has a session, except for pdfs and chms? [04:03] reading a lot of chms? [04:03] old scool :) [04:04] hey i installed ubuntu 11.04 on a new partiton, in addition to my 3 existing OS's, but i want to uninstall it. i can still get to my other os's via GRUB, but i noticed that the 11.04 install changed the grub layout. if i delete the 11.04 partitons, will grub go back to how it was, stop working, stay the same, or what? [04:04] a lot of pdfs. i have a huge library so its hard to even pick which book and find it, and go back and reopen them. its not good for me to copy them to a folder [04:04] celthunder: I remember a long time ago in eons past that I had to make sure the bootable flag was set.

[04:17] trism: all dmesg gets me is wlan0: direct probe to *ip* timed out after 3 tries [04:17] Tekk_: that makes me think you don't have the new kernel, because that is the bug that was patched (well a side effect of it anyway) [04:17] Tekk_: what is: uname -a; [04:17] trism: oh, hold on [04:18] trism: probably need to update grub, right? [04:18] if I went through just dpkg [04:18] Tekk_: the triggers should update it, but you can: sudo update-grub; to be sure [04:18] yeah, looks like it [04:18] wait [04:18] no [04:18] 2.6.38-8 [04:19] which seems to match the package I downloaded [04:19] gohdan: thanks for the help, i'll try foxit and look somemore [04:19] Tekk_: yeah, sorry, I mentioned later, it isn't on packages.ubuntu.com because it is in proposed, I have a link, one sec [04:20] dijonyummy123: open/libre office may provide this type of functionality too but i dont use them. good luck on your quest.

I then restarted the machine. So no I did not uninstall the previous verion [05:10] I <3 #ubuntu [05:11] is it possible to use the same hd im ghosting with clonezilla to store the .img/iso file on? i just need to store the iso/img file and then ill burn it, but i don't have an external drive [05:11] Yer same here. [05:11] celthunder, My audio does not seem to see the HDMI either. Though I just checked through GUI. There is definitely a consistent signal [check signal cable goes away and stays away] [05:11] ahrimen, I would uninstall the nvidia drivers and reboot,, then install the one you want to use [05:12] celthunder, I have a Windows dual boot if you wanted mt to test the monitor in Windows. [05:12] since I installed 11.04, my graphic isn't working at 100%, what's wrong? [05:12] Hey umm, what can I do with ''cannot find ''MSVCP60.dll'' Please, re-install this application''??? [05:12] afroman, what is "not working at 100%" mean,, its slower,, what [05:12] ok, thanks [05:12] coz_: slower [05:12] afroman, is compiz enabled,, rather are you using Unity? [05:13] Okay... well I just tried to disable a service using update-rc.d [05:13] Jon--: is this a laptop? [05:13] and saw "Do NOT use update-rc.d for this purpose in the docs" [05:13] What should I do? [05:13] afroman, is this 11.04 Unity ? [05:13] celthunder, yeah [05:14] coz_: glx_gears gives me a low number, plus images tends to skip frames when in use of 2-3 progs [05:14] coz_: Unity 2d [05:14] afroman, ah [05:14] how does ubuntu detect my sim card slot? [05:14] afroman, w hich video card do you have? [05:14] ==> I think its not [05:15] oh, never mind [05:15] coz_: ati radeon mobility hd 3470 [05:15] afroman, ah ok,, I am a complete dunce with ati problems,, I hand you over to someone who knows more than I do [05:16] coz_: who would that be? [05:16] daurnimator: lsusb see if the card reader is listed [05:16] josephoenix, Ubuntu prefers the use of 'service'. Man it. [05:17] histo: it appears not to be [05:17] Jon--: 'k [05:17] daurnimator: also check lspci [05:17] afroman, not sure who is more experience with ati here,, so just hand out and ask again [05:17] Unless I misread your question [05:17] Which is possible [05:17] Jon--: no, I just don't know how I'm supposed to enable and disable services on this server [05:17] josephoenix: stop servicename [05:18] josephoenix, sudo service servicename stop/start/restart [05:18] josephoenix: start servicename [05:18] histo: pretty much everything is intel in lspci; not intel is vga card, wireless(wlan) and soundcaard [05:18] (ps, my touchapd also doens't work) [05:18] histo, Jon--: that will persist after reboot? [05:18] daurnimator: you have a sim card reader? how does it connect to the machine? === NoWayJose is now known as Guest57252 [05:18] histo: its a laptop, theres a sim card slot in the back of it === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [05:18] josephoenix, nah, service works like /etc/init.d/ [05:19] Jon--: in that case he would use update-rc.d to controll what service at what runlevel [05:19] Jon--: thx for the assist [05:19] daurnimator: ohh for what a cell modem inside? [05:19] Heyyyy, what can I do with ''cannot find 'MSVCP60.dll' Please, re-install this application''??? [05:19] o.o [05:20] josephoenix, There's a warning in the man page to not use it? Sorry, I don't know what is prefered. It's probably a wrapper like service [05:20] histo: yeah.... I just bought a 3G modem for it; put it inside; the 3G modem comes up in lsusb; but I dont' think its found teh sim [05:20] celthunder, any ideas? [05:20] (and hence can't use the modem) [05:20] anybody help with ATI troubles? [05:20] Jon--: the warning was in the wiki documentation, and was actually under an older section.. but the rest of the page wasn't any more informative [05:20] josephoenix: hold up one sec let me read some stuff [05:21] daurnimator: did you try configuring it with network-manager? [05:21] Jon--: fn + monitor keys switch 2-3 times and each time check xrandr/pulse/catalyst for the hdmi [05:21] * gohdan gnome sweet gnome [05:21] On an unrelated note, anyone know if I can ignore just join/part lines in a channel with irssi? [05:21] histo: yeah... it found it; but it wouldn't connect [05:21] josephoenix: yeah you can [05:22] Is it /ignore #ubuntu JOINS? [05:22] josephoenix: google ofr it to find the exact command i just started using weechat instead...has a smartfilter i like better [05:22] can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router? airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address [05:22] josephoenix: don't remember [05:22] k [05:22] josephoenix: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS (and possibly QUITS NICKS as well) [05:22] since I installed 11.04, my graphic is slow, what's wrong? [05:22] Ah, thanks trism [05:23] josephoenix: sudo update-rc.d servicename stop 2 3 4 5 or what ever runlevels you want [05:23] That'll make this channel a little easier to read xD [05:23] celthunder, I have a button that may control monitors, I've never used it. I hit it three times and checked xrandr, catalyst, and pulse from GUI all three times. There is no change in output(s). [05:23] can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router? airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address. what is up with that [05:23] histo: okay, so 'stop' is the level to disable the service? [05:23] Jon--: you have to push fn key when pushing it (it's a function key right like f6 ) [05:23] josephoenix: the levels control which runlevels you want to disable it on 1-6 [05:24] ahh, got it [05:24] celthunder, Yes. :P. I did so. It looks like an emptyrectangle|filledrectangle [05:24] josephoenix: mostlike 2-5 [05:24] josephoenix: sorry most likely [05:24] celthunder, The other key just seems to turn my monitor off. The other function keys seem unrelated [05:24] is there a way to list what runlevels it's on? or should I just ls /etc/rc*... [05:25] afroman, the only think I can think of is to disable sync to vblank,, I know this speeds things up with nvidia and a also ati from a few articles I just read [05:25] afroman, not sure how to do that with ati [05:26] can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router? airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address. what is up with that [05:27] histo: okay, it looks like there are links for apache2 in rc0, rc1 and rc6.. should I remove those? [05:27] coz_: I'll check on ccc, but still the question remains why it would work fine on 10.10 then slow on 11.04 ? [05:27] hexacode: is your default gateway an ethernet? [05:28] Tristam: That didn't work for me on weechat :( [05:28] celthunder, I googled for the user guide and I was using the correct button. [05:28] celthunder its wlan0 === randomusr is now known as Guest63521 [05:28] afroman, not sure,, I k now it has been a common issue on some nvidia and apparenlty ati cards especially with compiz running,, I have not heard of t his with Unity 2d however [05:28] hexacode: my arp shows one mac for my laptop nic and one mac for the AP [05:29] celthunder ...the mac that the arp utility is giving me doesnt match my wireles nic or my wired nic [05:29] Unable to install Ubuntu on a DG45ID board from intel. The disks won't mount during install, however, they do mount from the live session. Whats up? [05:29] josephoenix: 0 is for shutdown phase 1 is for recovery console and 6 is for reboot [05:29] josephoenix: so if you want. That's the only time it would get called is shutdown reboot or recovery [05:30] histo: right, I'm thinking I don't need a web server that starts on shutdown... [05:30] coz_: could it be a clash between a prog that was running on 10.10 and the driver on 11.04 or something like that? [05:30] celthunder, If you're busy I can say *censor* it and move on [05:30] coz_: coz I did the upgrade throu update manager... === jrolland is now known as jrolland-ubuntu2 [05:31] Jon--: i'm out of ideas whatev [05:31] VGA does work, but the resolution is a little shotty and cuts things off on the edge, 1920x1080 doesn't get along with VGA [05:31] * gohdan glad i made a list of files pulled in prior to installing lxde as i just had to purge them all by hand. weird. [05:31] afroman, i dont think it would be from any application, you said this was overall systemically..yes? not just with a specific application [05:32] whoa i didnt mean "overall" systemically...talk about redundant [05:33] where can i download videos that could be able to play in totem movie player [05:33] coz_: I have another prob that I think might be related. I can't listen to 2 sounds simultaneously [05:33] histo: something else that confused me is that mysql was installed and presumably added to startup, but I don't see links in the rc folders... [05:34] ilangeeran, do you have all of the codecs in stalled? [05:34] no [05:34] ilangeeran, most videos ,,"most" should play in totem [05:34] celthunder, Man, you won't believe this.... [05:34] ilangeeran: totem is evil. repent now and join the cult of vlc [05:34] ilangeeran, you may want to first install ubuntu restrected-extras [05:34] celthunder, I had to reboot with the chord plugged in from the start, it worked. [05:34] ilangeeran, is this 64 or 32 bit/ [05:35] gohdan: If you've got up-to-date codecs then VLC can be a burden. Just look at VLC+theora. [05:35] is there an app that record a video when there is movment around? [05:35] tell me the site where to download that restricted extras [05:35] ilangeeran, just in terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:35] coz_: ex: I can't watch 2 movies or listen 2 songs with 2 different softwares like movie player and vlc, the sound gets distorted [05:35] ilangeeran, is this 64 bit or 32 bit [05:35] rypervenche: BLASPHEMY!!! i will hear none of this! :P [05:36] 32 bit [05:36] ilangeeran, aso go here and download the w32codecs http://packages.medibuntu.org/natty/w32codecs.html [05:36] gohdan: lol, suit yourself. I use VLC, but it often sucks when codecs get updated faster than VLC. [05:36] afroman, ok let me think here [05:36] Hi, i experiencing some troubles, i can't move windows...

[05:54] ilangeeran [05:54] the-newsman: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ [05:54] gohdan i could not read cuz the ubuntu contunes booting but finally it does not work === Honoo is now known as CodenameStrike [05:55] the-newsman: specifically one of the two under "Install/live DVD", depending on your architecture. [05:56] rww i know. my pc is x86 not 64 [05:56] is this the offical ubuntu rleease for live CD ? [05:57] the-newsman: you said DVD, not CD. http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-dvd-i386.iso is the officiall 11.04 32-bit live DVD, yes. [05:57] hi all, please help me, I am using 11.04, yesterday i forcefully shutdown ubuntu, when i rebooterd, then grub shows the option for windows and ubuntu , when i select ubuntu a cursor blinks for 10 seconds and then a black screen turns up [05:57] yes u r right... DVD [05:57] sudeep: ctrl alt f1 [05:58] rww is this live CD [05:58] rww is there live CD ?? [05:58] celthunder yes i tried but i didnt work [05:59] sudeep: ctrl alt f2? [05:59] the-newsman: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso [05:59] is chromium the same as google chrome?

[06:00] Well, would say, an HTML5 based plugin for google chrome work for chromium? [06:00] dallas1: depends on respective versions of each but yes [06:01] van7hu: #firefox [06:01] celthunder: Okay. I was just curious because apparently google is working on a plugin to get netflix to work on Chrome OS and google Chrome. Just one less reason why I need a Windows partition. [06:01] celthunder: ctrl alt f2 also not working, i tried f3 f4 ... f12 :( === lacie is now known as Aframester [06:02] sudeep: boot to terminal/recovery === ingeniero is now known as REAKTOR [06:03] how do I change to a specific channel [06:03] Aframester: /join #channel [06:04] thx [06:04] exit [06:04] quit [06:04] the-newsman: It's /quit === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [06:05] celthunder: how do i boot to terminal/recovery ? u mean to select the ubuntu(recovery option) ? , selected ubuntu recovery option , it now shows some text instead of a blinking cursor, but again black screen comes [06:06] sudeep: uh so you're at a black screen..again? [06:06] celthunder: yes [06:07] sudeep: Sounds pretty bad, you may only fix that via a livecd with chroot, but only if you know what caused the problem [06:07] sudeep: can you boot to whatever ubuntu's equivalent to init 1 is? [06:07] theadmin: morning/afternoon/evening mate [06:07] celthunder: That'd be the recovery mode :PP [06:08] celthunder: ohai [06:08] theadmin: sudeep ok...can you run e2fsck on the filesystems [06:09] theadmin: i forcefully shutdown an application yesterday while shutting down the system, after that it didnt reboot, i have a usb bootable stick, i can live boot trhough that, how do i recover after that ? wth chroot ? [06:09] how to use shell command in bash script? [06:09] sudeep: chroot is a way to get to a Linux system's terminal on another hard drive/partition than the current one, basically [06:09] lets start with getting into a chroot yes [06:10] pishguy: exec [06:10] celthunder: exec gksu ... ??? [06:10] pishguy: Normally there's no need for the exec, just type commands as you normally would [06:11] pishguy: you can just run gksu for that... [06:12] pishguy: exec is good for cleaning up if you have a mem leak or something though [06:12] !help [06:12] 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. :-) [06:12] Jasman: What was that for? [06:12] theadmin: he was bored :) [06:13] or looking for help, more likely [06:14] celthunder: exec gksu sep_video . dos'nt work [06:14] pishguy: you don't need exec for that [06:15] celthunder: gksu sep_video don't getting password [06:15] Hello everybody [06:15] I'm looking for a program such as Freecorder (http://applian.com/freecorder4/) for Linux. Do you know one? [06:16] my modem problem. sierra 305.. it's logs http://www.ihsana.com/jasman/log.txt.. I think this is the wrong port. but I dont know path config NetworkManager and modem-manager.. [06:16] JoFo: You could use an online alternative of some sort. THere is youtube-dl, but that's the closest you'd get to [06:16] celthunder: gksu sep_video don't getting password :( [06:17] if I type "sudo apt-get install chromium" it defaults to some game "chromium-bsu" wouldn't it make more sense to default it to the browser? is that something I can file a bug about? [06:17] Hmm.. looks like my user account was created in a weird way. Anyone know why bash wouldn't read .bashrc on login? [06:17] Cheri703: No, it's not a bug, it's normal -- chromium is in chromium-browser [06:17] yes, but chromium-bsu is chromium-bsu, not chromium [06:17] Cheri703: that problem has been solved by naming it $-bsu. which is the work around implemented [06:18] but it still did it... [06:18] *shrug* was just wondering, because I wasn't expecting to get some random game instead of the browser. [06:18] theadmin: The audio streaming I want to download is not on Youtube. [06:19] Cheri703: search before installing if you don't know the package name [06:19] Cheri703: the random game was using that package name first, hence the oddness. [06:19] Cheri703: the game was in the debian repo before the browser [06:19] yeah, I can do that celthunder, didn't know that I didn't know the package name though [06:19] Anyone know a channel for shell script help? thanks [06:19] rww, gohdan, that makes sense...just...annoying [06:20] Lasivian: #$your favorite sh here????? [06:20] xD wow. I just found out that the guy I took over from made my account by editing /etc/passwd by HAND [06:21] gohdan: I really I wish I understood that, pardon my lack of knowledge [06:21] Cheri703: Yup. Debian switched chromium to point to the browser in sid, but Ubuntu doesn't use Debian's chromium browser packaging iirc, so it's currently not a package at all in oneiric. [06:21] josephoenix: How did you find that out? [06:21] Lasivian: #bash #zsh etc [06:21] josephoenix: what's wrong with that? [06:22] celthunder: no .profile, groups aren't set right [06:22] josephoenix: i've mad euser accounts by editting /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and /etc/group [06:22] gohdan: ahh haa, I had no idea all shell script was not the same. Thank you [06:22] josephoenix: cp /etc/skel /home/ [06:22] JoFo, for just "audio" you can do some fancy things with Pulse Audio to record ANY output - there are a couple YouTube Tutorials, as well as written ones. pavucontrol might be a starting search term. [06:23] celthunder: well, he didn't do that.. and my home directory was world-readable.. [06:23] ZykoticK9: pavucontrol doesn't record anything it's just a mixer...far as i know [06:23] celthunder: point of the story is that, while that is possible, it is not recommended, because most people do it wrong [06:23] josephoenix: lol chmod it [06:23] celthunder, it is - but that might result in some relevant documentation [06:23] josephoenix: most people are idiots..we knew that to begin with...including you and me most likely [06:23] Lasivian: be aware that ubuntu defaults to debian's dash shell, not bash [06:24] gohdan: ahh haa, very useful info, thank you very much [06:25] celthunder: which is why most people should use adduser most of the time... :D [06:25] Thanks. I'll try that. [06:26] josephoenix: i'd rather use useradd than adduser 9/10 times [06:27] josephoenix: but that's more a personal preference than any real reasoning [06:27] Hmm, why? All I know about useradd is that the wiki docs say not to use it [06:27] does it? i prefer useradd cause i can throw the entire command on one line [06:28] i don't need 40 retarded prompts to make one user when i can do it with 1 [06:28] Hi there. Does anyone know how to install unexucatable .exe files when running a cd with WINE? I am trying to install Phoshop CS (8.0) since I have an actual serial number. === canon is now known as Acid190 [06:28] aahhh [06:28] celthunder: gksu sep_video don't getting password :( [06:28] Hi guys. I chown'ed my /usr/ and now get "sudo: must be setuid root [06:28] " [06:28] so, i need a 32 bit version of python to run a script, but being that I'm running 64bit, I can't find the 32bit .deb in the repos via the swc. (I also need a 32bit version of Blender to go with the script). Is there a way to make the SWC show 32 bit debs or an easy way to find them manually from the repos via google or something? [06:29] celthunder, useradd is certainly more script friendly - but other then that I see NO reason to use it - have to run passwd for everything after generating the user, wher adduser does it in 1 step [06:29] Anyone here use the Asus Usb-N13 card? [06:29] boomboorum: chowning /usr/ was not a good idea. congratulations on hosing your system. [06:29] rww: Can I do something about it now [06:29] rww: oh, cut him some slack, at least he's breaking Linux not Windows ;) [06:29] boomboorum: livecd? [06:29] boomboorum, did you do it recursively? with a "..-r..." option? [06:30] boomboorum: My solution would be "grab a LiveCD and reinstall", personally. [06:30] Hi there. Does anyone know how to install unexucatable .exe files when running a cd with WINE? I am trying to install Phoshop CS (8.0) since I have an actual serial number. [06:30] ZykoticK9: useradd 2 lines adduser is like 30 it asks a bunch of useless shit like home/phone numbers/etc [06:30] or at least it did the last time i used it [06:30] ZykoticK9: yes [06:30] can i get nautilus to let me manually type the dir from the gui or do i have to 'nautilus /dir/foo/bar' at the shell? [06:30] celthunder, i suppose. i think many people find it A LOT easer. [06:30] boomboorum, if you did -r then user rww's suggestion. Reinstall. sorry. [06:31] celthunder: since you seem better versed in this than I am, what would you use to add an admin user to an ubuntu server? [06:31] ZykoticK9: i also said that was mostly a preference for me....i have wierd preferences [06:31] celthunder, it's certainly not the most user friendly suggestion for this channel. i understand your preference obviously. [06:31] josephoenix: use wheel [06:32] boomboorum: Look at the bright side, you didn;t destroy whatever data you might want to backup [06:32] celthunder: that's a util? I thought it was a group name, and ubuntu seems to use 'admin' instead [06:33] josephoenix: wheel is a group yes and a user account it's disabled by default but it's pretty much the alternate of a root account [06:34] josephoenix: there is really only ONE admin account...and that's root...you can make another root username just make the uid 0 but...i wouldn't do that === ezl-away is now known as ezl [06:35] josephoenix: wheel is the next best to root which is the only REAL admin account.....beyond that...explain more what you're user is going to be doing [06:36] boomboorum: ZykoticK9 Lasivian you don't need to reinstall just cause you chown/chmod'd /user...

[06:49] UbuntuQ: did you load your log viewer as root? [06:49] celthunder , I disabled the compiz effect in ubuntu default desktop!(have left menus effect) [06:49] mipo: so you killed a wm or disabled some effects?

[06:50] celthunder: no, when i did try that before it didn't show that yellow message [06:50] yes [06:50] UbuntuQ: so open it as root...you can't read log files as a user [06:50] I recently upgraded my ubuntu installation to the latest (Hardy?), and ever since the upgrade, I cannot get gnome to start really. When I start gdm, all I get is a black screen and a cursor. [06:50] mipo: open ccsm or whatever compiz settings is [06:51] mipo: i hate compiz so that's probably not right [06:51] From my googling, it seems this is an issue with the nvidia-current package, but I don't even know where to start. [06:51] but when I want to logging to first desktop , I have not any menus! [06:51] clarkfischer: The latest version of Ubuntu is 11.04/Natty. The latest LTS of Ubuntu is 10.04/Hardy.

Desktop support ended on May 12 2011. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [06:51] celthunder , where is ccsm? [06:52] oops, 10.04/lucid [06:52] How can I tell what version I'm running?

[06:54] compiz manager [06:55] mipo: ok so open compiz-manager and change your settings [06:55] I changed! [06:55] mipo: and? [06:55] celthunder: so, gksudo [06:56] not work , have not any menus!(either left and top) [06:56] UbuntuQ: idk i just use cat /var/log/ |less [06:56] mipo: reload compiz ? [06:57] how?

[06:57] celthunder: Why not just "less /var/log/logfile-name"? [06:57] theadmin: ? [06:58] UbuntuQ: i SERIOUSLY doubt that command gksudo system log viewer as typed would ever work [06:58] could be wrong though [06:58] celthunder : this is useful : rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity? [06:58] celthunder: should i log in as a root then come [06:59] mipo: it'd reset yo uback to defaults yeah...someone also suggested unity --reset earlier if you're using unity... [06:59] UbuntuQ: no [06:59] UbuntuQ: gnome-system.log [06:59] theadmin: lol what? [06:59] UbuntuQ: Sorry: gnome-system-log [06:59] celthunder, qin: ok, 1sec [07:00] celthunder : my files will be remove?

[09:09] guys does ubuntu having different pkg for GTK2 [09:09] hemika, I'm searching, for you, on the french documentation [09:09] koshie_ the thin i don't like about unity is the fact that you have to use their dock [09:09] About your card. [09:09] Heinz_L_Maennche, it's the power of Unity :D [09:10] koshie_, okay thankyou. i can tell you what all i have tried [09:10] Arney: I'm not running WINE, and I didn't bother tinkering with it on Ubuntu yet. [09:10] Heinz_L_Maennche: Its a fantastic dock better then any ive seen. [09:10] no...it's lag of customizability...they need to work on that... [09:10] but it is still a young DE [09:10] i am positive they will improve on that === Guest31370 is now known as Afteraffekt [09:10] theadmin, I didn't get the locale by adding it to /etc/locale.gen and running locale-gen [09:10] Ubuntu Studio 10.10 - fresh install and there is no gui. What should I do? [09:11] hemika, Do you have tried to installed proprietary driver by the Ubuntu software ? [09:11] m_abs: Go to the menu entry I specified [09:11] The ubuntu's software for that. [09:11] I mean. [09:11] (sorry for my bad english) [09:11] theadmin, I don't have gnome so I don't have System -> Administration -> Language Support. I entered the KDE equivalent but that doesn't let me select charset only language. [09:12] m_abs: I think you can just install teh language pack, and after that re-run locale-gen and get the proper charset-based one [09:12] koshie_, yes i tried installing this by going to System What is the error ? [09:12] Exactly, paste it if is more than 2 lines. [09:13] theadmin, the danish language pack insist on UTF-8 [09:13] howdy, does anyone know about adding hard drives to a running server? Mine is added but not showing in Ubuntu [09:13] m_abs: Doubt I can help then [09:13] theadmin, okay thanks anyway. [09:14] Guys can anybody explain why ubuntu studio boot directly into terminal mode? [09:15] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211 hemika read that. Maybe is a good way. [09:15] But I hope when you upgrade your kernel you don't have to do this again. [09:15] Hi all [09:15] I don't know. [09:15] It's shitty to do that at all kernel upgrade. [09:15] xokvictor, Hi [09:15] koshie_: easy on the language please [09:15] who know how i can run window manager in ubuntu 11.04 with sudo? [09:16] ikonia, ok [09:16] xokvictor, run what with what ? [09:16] xokvictor: Don't do that [09:16] oO [09:16] xokvictor, dangerous :) [09:16] really, is a very very bad idea [09:16] )) [09:16] you don't have to run a wm with root [09:16] You don't need it too. [09:16] thanks, but i know what i do > [09:16] )) [09:16] So don't do that. [09:16] xokvictor, so why do you asking ? [09:17] If you know.

[09:18] You should found a good way to do that. See on Google, Ubuntu documentation, Samba documentation, ubuntu forum… [09:18] Why would anyone ever need to run a window manager as a different user than they are? xokvictor [09:18] xokvictor, I'm helping you now. I don't know more things about Samba sorry. [09:19] hemika, paste the log ? ^^ [09:19] /var/log/jockey.log [09:19] hmm what's the best package to use in ubuntu is I want to send mails via another SMTP server? .. I've tried postfix buy it seems soo overkill .. creating the certificate and all :S [09:19] theadmin, what do u mean? ) [09:19] theadmin, somes peoples like that. [09:19] koshie_, this the error it showed on trying to install [09:20] Ah whatever, I'm not helping someone as crazy >.< [09:20] Let's say I have a set of strings such as "hello my name is jason"; and I'd like to cut out from "is " to EOL [i.e. the name]. Is there a nice way to do this in BASH? Using awk/grep/sed cunningry? [09:20] xokvictor, He means no one need to run a WM / DE in root :) [09:20] hemika, read the error [09:20] ok ) 10x [09:20] okay the log, wait [09:20] Yes hemika :) [09:21] but how i can share my folder for windows users? [09:21] You should found a good way to do that. See on Google, Ubuntu documentation, Samba documentation, ubuntu forum… [09:21] xokvictor, [09:22] I can't help you more, sorry [09:22] I've got 2 ways of accessing files, one i do via smb://ip/FILES and one via /mnt/files the /mnt files is created by doing //ip/files /mnt/files cifs guest in /etc/fstab. When i make a folder in smb.. it works fine, if i make one in mnt the folder gets locked. Any ideas please? [09:22] koshie_, this is the log file : http://paste.ubuntu.com/627167/ [09:22] hi, can anyone help with xpdf seg fault? details http://paste.ubuntu.com/625773/ [09:23] is there a ubuntu server channel? [09:23] whytehorse, no it's about Mac OS X :} [09:23] (hi) [09:23] Where do you change window manager theme in settings, using Files? I an on Xubuntu 10.04 LTS and I think by selecting "Murrine-Sky" theme, that it makes that use not able to log in again! [09:24] hemika, I'm looking that [09:24] why doesn't my drive show up after initializing it in the raid controller? [09:24] koshie_, cool, thanks! === ruffleS is now known as Guest64374 [09:24] yah [09:25] trying to install virtualbox, whats the apt package to install? [09:25] you need module wl hemika if I'm reading correctly [09:26] koshie_, hmm, so what should i do now? [09:26] I'm looking on Google If I'm right, or not. [09:26] koshie_, okay :) [09:26] I don't like wifi driver, and I hate broadcom :) [09:26] Search on your side [09:27] koshie_, yea i am trying. [09:27] riktking, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [09:27] Heinz_L_Maennche: thanks [09:27] ;-) [09:27] Heinz_L_Maennche: is that like VMware? [09:28] riktking: Very alike, yeah [09:28] whytehorse, use mdadm to set up linux software RAID. Most controllers on boards that claim "RAID" are actually fake raid and request windows drivers to work with, so basically the same thing like md* devices in linux software RAID [09:29] no it's a dell Perc6i raid controller [09:29] anyone know it is possible to use ext4 for USB drive while like NTFS that there is not usr permission/ownership across the fs? [09:30] hemika, [09:30] We gonna see, together, your installation [09:31] do I need to reboot the server or can I do it online? [09:31] Question: I've noticed that saving a non-default resolution in the xorg.conf file doesn't seem to be reflected upon reboot. Where is the default Ubuntu login manager and subsequent server resolution coming from? I'm trying to force a resolution of 1680x1050 as opposed to an automatic 1920x1080, which causes odd trouble on the screen. [09:31] whytehorse, well, regular raid should have utility for its own for making raid levels. and then represent to any OS disk(s) representing RAID. See card documentation. [09:32] wildbat: Should be possible. I'm formatting a USB drive with it right now. [09:32] I followed the card documentation and added the disk as raid0 and initialized it... wtf? [09:32] hemika, Sorry but I g2g, but you've some information now and a maybe-good-way to install your driver [09:32] See on forum ok ? [09:32] i accidently erased my error.log apache log file, is there a 1 liner i can use to recreate it? [09:32] corey@analy:~$ socket -s 1234 -p "socket irc.freenode.net 6667" [09:32] socket: server socket: Address already in use [09:33] anyone know how to fix that w/o restarting? [09:33] FalsAlarm, see your backup ? [09:33] yes [09:33] :) [09:33] accidently typed freenode wrong first so it didnt resolveto anything and now the socket won't close [09:33] whytehorse, see BIOS settings about access to disks, maybe soem change there should be done. Also check linux compatibility for controller. === pumafyre is now known as puma [09:33] resolve to* === puma is now known as pumafyre [09:34] Hordeking: i formated one ~ but it is owned by root and the files inside could be different owner ~ kinda annoying [09:34] whytehorse, I might just also add. (and this is blasphemy ;) consider ZFS [09:34] koshie_, what permissions should it have? [09:35] corey@analy:~$ netstat | grep 1234 [09:35] tcp 0 0 analy.violates.us:1234 myiphere.h:40583 ESTABLISHED [09:35] wildbat: Your filesystem shouldn't care about that. It sounds like a permissions issue with whatever daemon mounted it, not the filesystem. [09:36] I installed Ubuntu 11.04 in a Dell XPS 15, and it seems I've two graphic cards. How do I know which one is using Ubuntu? [09:37] koshie_, okay thanks anyway. [09:37] hi [09:37] novitololo: I think a better question to ask would be "How do I know which one Ubuntu is using?" [09:37] nov Have you considered [09:38] novitololo: Do "lspci -v", I think [09:38] who can recommend me a movie editing software for linux? [09:38] Wisien: kdenlive [09:38] Hordeking: that's right. I'm not an english speaker. [09:38] novitololo: Have you considered plugging only one monitor in at a time and seeing which card it's plugged into? [09:38] kdenlive? [09:38] how do i unmount a folder from /media? [09:38] It's a laptop Hordeking [09:38] Wisien: It's a video editing software, quite a good one [09:39] theadmin:like pinnacle under windows? [09:39] Wisien: I never used that [09:39] novitololo: That's a little beyond me, then. Chances are you have the adapter for the laptop screen, and one for the RGB [09:40] Ok. [09:40] Wisien: Check this list: http://alternativeto.net/software/pinnacle-studio/?platform=linux [09:40] but there is no way to check which one is actually using Ubuntu right now, with my laptop screen? [09:41] Actually, are more recent editions of Ubuntu better about letting me switch from laptop internal to RGB? The one I have installed is a little out of date, but I have to reset the machine with a monitor plugged in and turned on in order to ever get the "RGB" mode. [09:41] when doing lscpi | grep VGA -- it shows me the two graphic cards, but I don't know which one is actually using [09:42] Hordeking: i can't seem to mount the ext4 as the user as the owner [09:42] Wisien: pitivi, avidemux, openshot [09:42] ok this is just weird. .. I can send mails via my own SMTP postfix server which uses an external one .. but I can't send mail through PHPs mail function .. what can be wrong? I've set the sendmail_path in php.ini to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i [09:42] can send = while using telnet [09:43] Wisien: i've used pitivi for some simple stuff like doing game frag movies, does the job [09:44] wildbat: mount has options, I know that. Check the man page. You should be able to mount as a specific user that way [09:46] Hordeking: not for ext4 :< [09:46] m_fulder: Shouldn't sendmail be in /usr/bin? [09:46] wildbat: ext4 is a unix-fs, you don't use mount-options for permissions,you use chown/chmod [09:47] wildbat: There's a setting in udev somewhere, that's probably doing that. === th0r is now known as Guest18202 [09:47] llutz: I don't think you can just chown a mount point owned by root [09:47] Hordeking: you don't chown mountpoints, you chown filesystems === Guest18202 is now known as th0r [09:48] llutz: I've never done anything like that. It doesn't sound kosher, though. [09:49] llutz: thinking/try ing to use ext4 as my USB drive fs instead of NTFS ~ but the premission thing make is less friendly as NTFS ~ [09:51] I get 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias [09:51] wildbat: seems udev handles stuff different. problem with removable hdds and unix-fs is, that on all machines you're going to use it, the UIDs/GIDs have to be the same [09:51] i was using "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" [09:51] and then tried "sudo dhclient eth0" [09:52] and that came up :/ [09:52] theadmin, It's in sbin not bin ^^ .. but when I look in my mail.log after trying to send a message with a PHP script Im getting the message: to=, relay=local .... though when I send it via telnet my postfix uses the settings I've specified in the postfix config (i.e. it use an external SMTP) [09:52] can anyone help with xpdf seg fault? details http://paste.ubuntu.com/625773/ [09:53] i have windows 7 with ubuntu dual boot....everything was fine but when today i started ubuntu there was a grub prompt and i dont know what to do...can anyone help me...because i have very important files in there [09:54] :) [09:54] m_fulder: mail.example.org is part of $mydestination, $myorigin?

[12:24] it says cannot find iostream [12:24] so such file or directory [12:24] ASKidwai: C++ doesn't allow main to be a void, it must be int and must return an int [12:24] just it?

[12:28] systemclient, no [12:28] ASKidwai: Some compilers may allow it, but not g++ [12:28] C++ has no .h [12:29] systemclient: the program is QQ a chat client, it's an old version of it, made for an old ubuntu, and every time it is minimized it's completely gone [12:29] Turbo c++? I was thinking that turbo c was dead [12:29] james23: I do not know too much of unity, but I would not know where to look when not in the dock [12:29] ASKidwai: And what's wrong with XCHat? [12:29] systemclient: but the process is still running, and I have to kill it to restart [12:29] ASKidwai: explains a lot [12:29] it just dies randomly [12:29] james23: maybe you can just restart it to bring it back up [12:29] on 11.04 [12:30] it's XChat GNOME IRC Chat [12:30] helloooo, how does one see what the device names are please? [12:30] not the real Xchat [12:30] hi all. how to change gdm theme like with mint ??? [12:30] it just says Remote Host Closed Server [12:30] james23, if its mimimizing to the 'systemtray' like some apps do - the default systetray in unity dosetn allow just anything to appear there any more [12:30] systemclient: well, since it's a chat program, that's not really ok, I don't know if I missed messages or whatnot [12:30] ASKidwai: Remove the "xchat-gnome" package and install the "xchat" one [12:30] james23, you could whitelist it and allow it to appear in the systray. [12:30] dr_willis: how can I get around this? [12:31] dr_willis: awesome! [12:31] k [12:31] i wonder if one of the 'system tray' applications like for windowmaker would let them all show there. [12:31] what is comamnd for device/drive list so I can find out the sd?? or dh??.. [12:31] hey ... not sure if this is the best channel for this question. I created a Ubuntu Live USB stick with persistence, which works great ... until I reboot. Then the USB stick doesn't boot at all. Anyone heard of this? [12:31] james23, IF its actually mimimizing to the systray that is. :) ive seen many chat apps taht do that. [12:31] OOPSie: Look at the output of "mount" and see it in the list [12:31] KevinBombino, it works once then fails after that? [12:31] theadmin: I tried that, its useless on the liveCD [12:32] dr_willis: yes [12:32] OOPSie: Well you can open up gparted [12:32] OOPSie: And see around [12:32] KevinBombino, did you try a 'sudo apt-get update/upgrade' on it then it failed? [12:32] does installing X Chat solve the problem? [12:32] theadmin: great idea :) [12:32] ASKidwai: Kinda yes [12:32] it fails even if I do nothing other than just 'sudo reboot' immediately after it starts up [12:32] theadmin: hi . how to change gdm theme like with mint ??? [12:32] 'system tray' on Linux [12:32] pishguy: I can't help with that, don't ask me [12:32] theadmin, thanks [12:32] ... then I have to go make it again from my other PC [12:33] KevinBombino, that is weird. - i alwasy do a full normal install to my 8+GB flash drives. easier then messing with the persisnt save stuff. [12:33] Why does everyone ask me questions as if I know everything? :/ [12:33] hi, I want to create an archive of some images with file-roller but when adding an image I can't see a picture thumbnail, is there any way to do that? [12:33] cuz you should [12:33] if you're an admin you know stuff. [12:33] ;) [12:33] dr_willis: does that still allow hardware detection at boot the way that a Live CD does? [12:33] theadmin, hi, I want to create an archive of some images with file-roller but when adding an image I can't see a picture thumbnail, is there any way to do that? [12:33] fredl: True, but not all stuff [12:33] :)) [12:33] fredl: lol there they go again [12:33] the point of this USB stick is to work in all sorts of random computers [12:33] fredl: I dunno [12:33] KevinBombino, its identical to how you would install to a normal sata/internal hard drive. [12:34] I know, just kidding :) [12:34] KevinBombino, so it does detect for the m ost part.. but installing the nvidia or ati drivers then moving it to a differnt box can cause issues [12:34] well interestingly enough this particular use case will only be used in boxes with ATI cards [12:34] so if that's the only hangup, then should be fine [12:35] KevinBombino, unless the differnt cards need differnt drivers [12:35] ah, I see what you're sayin [12:35] ... and this would be very possible [12:35] LibreOffice has this habit of opening my stuff in other workspaces [12:35] KevinBombino, getting the persistant/live setup working with the propiarity drivers (ati or nvidia) can be problematic [12:36] hi...I would like to not show the app and folder icon at the bottom of the Unity launcher. [12:36] Is this possible without having to recompile anything? :P [12:36] ok, so then is there an easy way to do a full install to the USB stick from my other computer? [12:36] just run the install cd in VirtualBox and point the installation at the USB stick? [12:36] peto_, its possible. ive seen some sites that detail tweaking the unity launcher. saw some docs a few weeks back on the webupd8 site. [12:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/627258/ < anyone got a clue on why partitioning aint working here ? [12:37] peto_, ive also seen/heard of some unofficial/unsupported unity tweaking tools/front ends.

[12:53] sagi_: Provide more information than you already have, please [12:53] no , no error [12:54] no output for that command [12:54] sagi_: that command DELETEs a dir, it won't bring a deleted dir back [12:54] sagi_: no output means directory deleted [12:54] sagi_: I misread your question [12:54] So, I am able to minimize QQ to an icon on the system tray, buuut: I cannot bring it back from the icon, I can't right click the icon, double click, anything [12:54] how on earth does initramfs load modules? [12:54] sagi_: and if you blindly type all commands being given here into your system, i doubt you will be happy with your linux in future [12:54] sagi_: are you trying to recover a folder or delete a folder? [12:54] I was here about fifteen minutes ago btw [12:54] my ubuntu xen domU doesn't load the blkfront driver [12:55] recover a folder. [12:55] corecode: they are build into the ramdisk so at runtime there are no extra modules loaded [12:55] sagi_: there are some recovery utilities for photo's for linux. They do work for other files [12:55] oh boy, then don't run that rm command. [12:55] It can be very hard to undelete things on ext2/3/4 [12:55] iceroot: yes, but how does it decide which modules to load? [12:55] sagi_: You want to recover a folder - OKies. What filesystem was the folder on - FAT32/NTFS/EXT2/3/4? [12:56] Hiyas [12:56] RevSpecies116, dont remember acctually [12:56] maybe fat32 [12:56] sagi_: I hope for you there was no such folder when you rm'ed it [12:57] I am interested in that photo recovery utility [12:57] !info testdisk [12:57] testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.11-2 (natty), package size 1558 kB, installed size 4612 kB [12:57] Wonka_: PhotoRec? [12:57] Wonka_: package testdisk holds photorec [12:57] Hey, I have two questions) I powered off my PC (Ubuntu Server 11.04) and this morning when I turned it on, there were several errors in the boot process, noticed some read/write errors, it tried to correct/recover them and now on each boot it gives me ureadahead error (terminated with status 5) and runs fsck for each partition, and finds more errors. [12:57] sagi_: If you find it was EXT2/3/4, then you may have no joy getting that back [12:58] RevSpecies116, okays so what to do now ? [12:58] redo , my whole work [12:58] isent there an app called 'photorec' or somthing like that? [12:58] Nikro: change the harddisc and but in you backup [12:58] BUT if it was FAT32 or NTFS, there are many 'undeleters' for those file systems [12:58] corecode: if i am correct its reading the hardware and decided what to load [12:58] I keep searching, but no luck, finally it boots up and I have my X, but still, I want to get rid of those checks/errors [12:58] Nikro, if my friends do it to me I dont know what I will do [12:58] Naturally they work because Microsoft didn't design them too well [12:58] corecode: imo not all modules are loaded by default [12:58] I think ubuntu 11.04 hates me.. Yesterday i tried to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 but the upgrade failed.. nothing but the 11.04 loading screen for hours. So i reinstalled 11.04, but now the gnome interface turns into some gray interface after few seconds.. any ideas?? i'm losing hope... [12:58] Nikro: backup your system and replace the harddisc [12:59] iceroot: exactly, but i'm trying to load xen drivers [12:59] sagi_: you have backups? [12:59] mastertheknife try the ubuntu-classic desktop yet? whats your video card? [12:59] sagi_: You dual booting, or Linux only? [12:59] corecode: just use the xen kernel [12:59] sipior, umm nope :( [12:59] Vm linux. [12:59] sagi_ ,yes, where is the backup? [12:59] sagi_: consider it a priority in future. [12:59] iceroot: you mean it's the hdd problem? yesterday I have mounted second drive and formatted it, maybe that messed up my partitioning =\ [12:59] dr_willis: this is virtualbox VM [12:59] sipior: At the moment that is irrelevant, and a gloat can be done if we fail in our task to help sagi_ [12:59] iceroot: on the main hdd I use LVM [13:00] dr_willis: it happens with all desktops.. i tried ubuntu classic too.. the gnome interface turns into gray [13:00] mastertheknife, you are using the latest virtualbox? Unity has issues with the older versions i hear [13:00] corecode: xen kernel on the host and the modules on the guest. best idea is to install also the xen kernel on the guest (metapackage) then the modules are automaticly installed an dloaded [13:00] dr_willis: using sudo gnome-settings-daemon brings the gnome interface colours back [13:00] RevSpecies116: not gloating, exactly. and a restore from backups is vastly quicker and more reliable than attempting to recover data from a filesystem. [13:00] mastertheknife, you could install some other window manager untill you get unity/gnome fixed.. if thats the issue [13:00] RevSpecies116, tell me one thing..am i the first one to come up with this problem [13:00] I have a program that when it minimizes to the Systray it will not reopen, but it is still running [13:00] mastertheknife, what version of vbox are you using? [13:00] Any ideas??? [13:00] james23, whitelist it so it can appear in the systray.. :) [13:00] sagi_: Nope - it happens all the time. [13:00] dr_willis: is this unity thing also running if i use classic ubuntu?? cause im having the same issue there too [13:01] dr_willis: virtualbox 3.1.12 [13:01] mastertheknife, i use Lubuntu these days. so not sure. [13:01] But the recovery is a different story, sagi_ [13:01] mastertheknife, that may be the issue then.. try a newer vbox version perhaps [13:01] dr_willis: my bad, 3.2.12 [13:01] which command to use to find out which process is using a file / directory [13:01] mastertheknife: You should use Virtualbox 4 [13:01] dr_willis: It's now whitelisted, and shows in the systray, but doesn't do anything at all when you click it [13:01] things doesn't "disappear" without reason all the time [13:01] james23, bummer. [13:01] Hi guys.. I've restarted my ubuntu-11 (Gnome) and my gnome-panel doesn't have default theme.. all other windows have, but gnome-panel fails.. I've already removed all the .gconf* files from my home user.. but didn't works.. Can anybody help? [13:01] RevSpecies116, is there no option in ubuntu like recovering like windows have "system restore" ? [13:01] dr_willis: i know [13:01] sagi_: I should correct myself - things like files don't just disapear, though [13:02] sagi_: that ALWAYS requires user intervention [13:02] theadmin: its fixed with virtualbox4? also, why does it happen when i use classic ubuntu, i thought unity is only used in the "Ubuntu" desktop ? [13:02] james23, you could try one of the old fashioned systemtray replacement apps like for windowmaker in the repos.. it might let it work better.. or the app might have settings to NOT use the systray [13:02] So perhaps you just downloaded a new malicious app that did it for you? [13:02] HI there can someone help me with this problem >..... http://pastebin.com/s3vimQFV [13:02] but i will download virtualbox 4 right away [13:02] 98% pebkac, 1% hardware, 1% aliens [13:02] !search bug gnome-panel theme [13:02] Found: === timo_ is now known as Guest41889 [13:02] iceroot: that's not the problem [13:02] !search bug Permission Denied wubi [13:02] RevSpecies116, and other ..bye [13:02] iceroot: initramfs of the guest doesn't load the blkfront driver [13:02] sagi_: Did you get a solution [13:03] !search gnome-panel [13:03] Found: resetpanels [13:03] I installed wine the other day to run an app and noticed that wine had copied my home directory and put it in a subdirectory. I don't want wine accessing my other files so I copied the files in the folder and pasted them to a temporary folder in my home directory. I have lost the configuration for connecting to DSL, where might that be kept so I can try to restore? [13:03] RevSpecies116, nope [13:03] !search resetpanels [13:03] Found: panels, resetpanels, resetpanel [13:03] sagi_: As there ARE Ubuntu apps that can help you - I am finding a list [13:03] RevSpecies116, ok [13:03] anteaya, wine sets up links where your wine apps can assess your home dir. its configrueable with the winecfg tool - You went overkill i think. :) [13:03] RevSpecies116, i must have created a snapshot few days ago in my VM [13:03] sagi_: stop writing to the filesystem holding the removed data. use a live-cd with photorec to try to get the deleted stuff back [13:03] hey again ... is it possbile to add exceptions to ServerAlias in apache2 Virtualhost? Like I want to have ServerAlias mysite.com *mysite.com but without special.musite.com .. is this possible?? [13:04] dr_willis, you are probably correct [13:04] I think it would work [13:04] dr_willis, next time I will look at the winedfg tool [13:04] sagi_: A VM snapshot should definatly have what you are looking for [13:04] dr_willis, any thoughts on how to restore my DSL settings? [13:04] how to install this theme?http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlueCurl+-+Ubuntu+GDM+Theme?content=103449 [13:05] llutz, i think you are telling a sollutin in case when my system file was missing [13:05] RevSpecies116, yeah lemme try it. [13:05] scalpel for Ubuntu is an undelete app - http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-recover-deleted-filesdata-in-ubuntu-linux/ <-- that is from 2009, though [13:05] anteaya, i would just set it uop in the network manager tools.. or miove all the files back. some .XXXX dir progberluy has the configs [13:06] dr_willis, I have the files moved around to suit me, oh well, I can wait until my ISP opens and call them [13:06] just thought someone might know [13:07] m_fulder: have you fixed your postfix-issue? [13:07] anteaya, you dont rember your name/password you needed? is that the core of the issue? [13:07] anteaya, look for the various . dirs (that begin with a .) those must be in your home basically [13:08] how to install this theme?http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlueCurl+-+Ubuntu+GDM+Theme?content=103449 [13:08] I enter my password for the ISP but then I get a window asking for a passphrase for a keyring [13:08] And people - the first thing to do if you delete a file you didn't mean to is: Don't Panic [13:08] I don't recall having to do that, dr_willis [13:08] yeah, all hidden files are where I need them to be [13:08] anteaya, thats the gnome keyring that helop store passwords [13:08] anteaya, just hit enter and it will use unsafe storeage and never ask again [13:08] dr_willis, oh, I have never used it before [13:08] unless you set a password for it once... [13:08] dr_willis, I will try [13:09] its resetable also... [13:09] llutz, yeah :D [13:09] RevSpecies116: panic is for those, not having a backup [13:09] llutz, it finally worked .. I change a bunch of stuff no idea what the fix was xD [13:09] okay, so the keyring passphrase has nothing to do with my ISP password, correct? [13:09] m_fulder: ah ok [13:10] I am curious about what that rasrach was...,maybe something fast [13:11] pishguy: What Ubuntu you running? As from KK there is no easy way to theme GDM [13:12] theadmin, dr_willis: I am now using VirtualBox 4.0.8 and its still happening, any ideas? [13:12] i installed 11.04 on a separate hd but now i can't see my main install (10.04) from 11.04 [13:13] Oh did Sagi_ run away before telling us he found the files? [13:13] zombieSLAYER: Have you updated grub? [13:14] mastertheknife, check the forums and askubuntu.com i dont use vbox, or unity. from what i hear in here it should work with vbox4+ [13:14] yep i booted from the hd with 10.04 [13:14] zombieSLAYER, cant 'see' as in theres no grub menu item? [13:14] and used grub to goto 11.04 [13:14] hello [13:14] I will just try installing ubuntu 11.04 again, thanks for the help though :) [13:14] i have some problems with the nvidia driver and using 2 GPU [13:14] no i cant access the 10.04 files from 11.04 [13:14] what kind of cientist sagi_ was? [13:14] it doesnt see the drive [13:15] i have 2 screens in a twinview, and a second X Screen for the 3rd screen [13:15] drive, zombieSLAYER ? [13:15] zombieSLAYER: Can you post your grub config file on a pastebin site? [13:15] Wonka_: doesn't really matter, and off-topic in any event. [13:15] the problem is the twinview screen is view as only one, so panel and maximized windows are on both screen [13:15] when i have only the twinview there is no problems... [13:16] no cause i cant see the drive with the config [13:16] zombieSLAYER: Oh, different sort of problem. You just need to mount the partition from within 11.04 presumably [13:16] Mahoru`Tsunemi, qwhen using twinview in the past. I had to enable twinview then restart the X server. or else the gnome panel would go across both screens [13:17] Mahoru`Tsunemi, but what you are doing.. is somthing i dident even think would work.. :) ive rarely had 3 monitors work properly [13:17] dr_willis: i restart the X server at every modif :) [13:17] yea but its not in the media folder [13:17] could be in the /mnt/ folder ;) [13:17] nope [13:17] zombieSLAYER: "sudo fdisk -l" pick the device holding your 10.04, "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt" [13:18] zombieSLAYER: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [13:18] Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. I aim to add Seamonkey 2.1 instead of Seamonkey 2.0.x on the machine. It is not in default repositories or https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa. What can you suggest to use to install it, other than the project homepage which just had an archive with the program files, which I would have to extract to ~ or some similar location, which wouldn't add the 'seamonkey' bash command the right way and do the [13:18] anyone know why firefox(and all browsers) say i need to install flash when i know it's installed b/c i was watching youtube vids on it last week? [13:19] Magnusson: sure you havent used youtube with html5? [13:19] gry, the make a link from ~/bin/seamonkey to the binary.. and it will be in the default path [13:19] llutz_>hrm honestly not sure, donno what that means exactly lol [13:19] youtube.com/html5 [13:20] hrm that's a negative then [13:20] not all youtube files are html5 this moment [13:20] dr_willis: Is there nothing else you can suggest me to do to the sources.list file or something like that to have it auto-update along with having that bash command? [13:21] i should say i was watching flash videos, not all were on youtube [13:21] gry, i dont use the latest seamonkey. if you want it updated automatically you will need to find a ppa or repoistiory [13:21] You could try a purge, gry - but I don't know how to walk you through that [13:22] gry, IF the thing can update itself that would also work if the user installed it in their homedir [13:22] dr_willis: Thats what I failed to do myself and am asking this channel about, "a ppa or repository", as the previous version of seamonkey crashes for me (http://eu.gshellz.org/~user/seamonkey-output.txt) [13:22] What do you all think about Android and chrome os ? [13:23] tarelerulz, theres the #android channel :) [13:23] tarelerulz: they belong to their own channels apparently, and work good for what they're worth [13:23] and chromeOS is not android. heh.. [13:23] erm, I have LVM with some logical partitions, like / /var /boot /tmp and so on [13:24] how can I reinstall ubuntu with keeping as much data as I can (just formatting /boot or /) [13:24] sorry post in the wrong room. I meant it for off topic [13:24] hi, someone knows an utility that let me restrict what a user can do at gnome ? for example, disable to create folders or to change the desktop wallpaper [13:24] gry: It was only just released as final [13:24] gry - it WILL come automatically - give it a week or so [13:24] ~.~ [13:24] is there a more appropriate channel for my question for that matter [13:24] Thanks, RevSpecies116 - I'll just wait [13:25] Magnusson: What's up? [13:25] Magnusson: (Ask in one line) [13:25] gry - that would be the best thing - that way it will be supported by Canonical too [13:25] yesterday i restored a RAID with mdadm. i tried to activate the lvm on top of that but the UUID is not the same, DID i lose all my data? [13:25] I do have problem . When I use nvidia's drivers/ module for my video card it works ,but the setting don't save . I have to set it each time. The place it says it saves don't seem to be read . anyone [13:26] gry>trying to figure out with everyone's help why my flash plugin is being wonky. won't let me watch flash videos now even though i was doing so last week [13:27] Magnusson: try #firefox maybe, it's nt as busy [13:27] Skeeter-: LVM is very difficult to recover.... [13:27] not rather [13:27] mastertheknife: anything i can try?? when "blkid" md0 doesnt seems to have a UUID [13:27] flash is all ways wonky . It works ,but it all ways seem to crash. the windows version never crashes on me. [13:27] dr_willis: wow its still happening.. unbelieveable [13:27] Magnusson: I think there is a cure by copying an .so file [13:28] But I am not versed in that method, Magnusson [13:28] tarelerulz>i have teh same experience [13:28] RevSpecies116>hmm any idea where i could look? [13:28] Skeeter-: focus on recovering the RAID first. only once you have the partition table etc complete, you can begin attempting to recover RAID [13:28] recover LVM* [13:28] But I have seen it done in here AND succeed - something to do with downloading the tar.gz from Adobe and extracting just one file [13:28] And putting it in the plugin folders of various browsers [13:29] mastertheknife: i got the RAID activenow [13:29] RevSpecies116: exactly [13:29] actually dosent the latest google chrome browser have flash built in as an optional feature? [13:29] RevSpecies116: you extract the .tar.gz file with tar xvzf and copy the library (.so file) to the plugins folder [13:29] mastertheknife: cat /proc/mdstat is ok [13:29] BUT, people - I don't know that method off by heart, and so cannot walk you through it Magnusson [13:29] mastertheknife: i can pastebin you some stuff if you need [13:30] RevSpecies116>heck it's a lead to start looking so appreciated :) [13:30] Skeeter-: not very fimiliar with LVM, but i thought it stores its meta data on the partitions, like linux raid [13:30] or does it have a config file? [13:30] cant really tell [13:30] Magnusson: what does "about:plugins" report when you point to it in firefox? [13:30] mastertheknife: nvr had any problem with it so far [13:31] I just installed mono 2.10 on my Ubuntu 11.04 machine. When I type mono vbappfw4.exe I get an error that says I need mscorlib.dll in /usr/lib/mono/1.0 directory [13:31] Magnusson: I've seen other folks in here [regulars] solve that exact problem for other people. But it seemed a little complex, so I didn't follow it. Wish I did now so I could help more directly [13:31] my ubuntu 11.04 is nothing but grief so far... upgrade failed, reinstalled twice so far and still having issues with the windows decorator, lol [13:31] sipior>whoa, in fact it says no enabled plugins found..interesting === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:31] I currently only have 2.0 and higher in the directory [13:31] But all I recollect is extracting an .so file and putting it in the browsers plugin folder [13:31] mastertheknife: ya, 11.04 is fail [13:31] RevSpecies116>yeah i figured it had to be a common problem [13:32] mastertheknife: I take it you have done a 'metacity --replace &' in a terminal? [13:33] compiz in 11.04 is a little bugged [13:33] Skeeter-: I tried to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. after upgrade completion, i was presented with the loading screen for hours... it was dead, had to reinstall [13:34] RevSpecies116: I login to the ubuntu desktop (or ubuntu classic, no difference), and i get the gnome decorator, but after few windows, it turns gray [13:34] metacity replace doesnt fix it [13:34] Ahhh, mastertheknife - an issue beyond what I can help :( [13:35] RevSpecies116: sudo gnome-settings-daemon does fix it, but only for few seconds [13:35] RevSpecies116: also reinstalled 11.04 but its still happening [13:35] mastertheknife: what turns gray? Just the windows or the whole desktop? [13:35] mastertheknife, you could try installing unity-2d [13:35] the windows and the title bars, etc [13:35] but then its niot as fancy a desktop [13:35] that greyness sounds like compiz hanging [13:35] everything is okay after login [13:36] but 10 seconds it turns gray [13:36] Hello, any idea why opencl - program started to crash my natty? The screen hangs , keyboard/mouse is unresponsive and some 1s loop is played from sound system [13:36] maybe its compiz crashing? [13:36] how can i tell ?

[13:39] http://i.imgur.com/QZwbk.png [13:40] i cant imagine why you would run sudo gnome-settingsdeamon when it should be just 'gnome-settings-deamon' [13:40] Unless you are logging in as root. :) [13:40] mastertheknife: yes, try the first solution (adding the sleep statement) [13:40] m_fulder: Did you figure it out? [13:40] I wonder IF that may be the issue.. it could be your setting files are some how owned by root.. and thus your user is having issues with them [13:40] mastertheknife, as a test. try making a totally new user. see if it affects them also.

Unless your graphic card/drivers failed to support 3D effects [13:49] mastertheknife: Then you'll be left off with a GNOME interface [13:49] oh, thats probably the reason [13:49] The images are all in /home/partimag, but when I point Clonezilla Live at the IP address, it tells me 1. Access is denied by server while mounting IP/partimag 2. /home/partimag is not a mounting point [13:49] dumb questions don´t exist === Guest69539 is now known as gry2 [13:51] mastertheknife: You loading Ubuntu on a VM? === KindThree is now known as KindOne [13:55] Whoosh - definitely a Vadar NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! time...

Anyone have any other ideas on what I can try?

[14:03] RevSpecies116: I am in KDE/Konsole right now [14:03] RevSpecies116: but thanks [14:03] systemclient, I'm looking but I can't find it. But it happens to me so often, surely it must be happening to everyone? [14:03] systemclient, for the explicit version of ubuntu you can do 'cat /etc/lsb-release' as well [14:03] systemclient: that's newline, actually. perhaps tty screen uses it [14:03] systemclient: "lsb_release -a" [14:03] maxo: I can feel with you, the "this bug just has to be reported" thing. I can never think of the wording so I always create duplicates :-/ [14:04] systemclient, I know, but surely it should have already been reported! :p [14:04] Lasers: that is handy [14:04] lasers, I like your version better; has a prettier interface [14:04] systemclient: then #kubuntu would be a better place to ask :) [14:04] systemclient: No problem. That's what it's for. :) [14:04] how can I launche the ubuntu config of gnome-panel ?

[14:06] systemclient: sudo do-release-upgrade [14:06] !upgrade | systemclient [14:06] systemclient: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:06] llutz: according to "udevadm info -a -p deviceid", they are all using usb which i dont believe [14:06] mastertheknife: Linux inside Linux :) Nice desktop there :) [14:06] theadmin: that seams to do the job [14:06] Hi [14:06] TandyUK: usb or pci adaptors? [14:06] RevSpecies116: I have 1 ubu and 2 deb VMs on my Ubuntu ;) [14:07] does anyone know the difference between Ubuntu and XUbuntu? [14:07] it could be accurate, afaik, the cards are both effectively pci cards, with onboard usb hubs, and usb adaptors, just all moulded onto one board [14:07] bchurch1006: Xubuntu uses Xfce as a desktop [14:07] hi I want save a ssh result to a variable, I tried some searched from google, but it didn't work. Can anyone help? The code I've rewritten is here http://pastebin.com/wtvJWiZh thanks === Xer0 is now known as Xero [14:07] bchurch1006: if you have never heard of Xfce or Gnome or Ubuntu, you can use Ubuntu [14:07] options dvb_usb_dib0700 force_lna_activation=1 [14:07] options dvb_usb disable_rc_polling=1 [14:07] TandyUK: "lspci -vvv|less" theres a line like "kernel-module in use" [14:07] is there any flavor of Ubuntu that uses Gnome 3? [14:07] bchurch1006: Ubuntu uses GNOME, Xubuntu uses XFCE [14:07] Anyone know if there's a channel specifically for help with Clonezilla? === Xero is now known as Guest49197 [14:07] bchurch1006: well, gnome ubuntu remix [14:07] I know 11.4 uses Unity [14:08] bchurch1006: or ubuntu gnome remix I think [14:08] 11.04 uses GNOME [14:08] not Unity [14:08] Unity is just a 'cover' [14:08] RevSpecies116: are you sure? I think they go unity all the way [14:08] Unity is not an environment :) Shuttleworth made that crystal clear :) [14:08] Ubuntu is dedicated to GNOME :) [14:09] Canonical just has no love for GNOME Shell ;) [14:09] RevSpecies116: right, gnome and gnome shell where two different pair of shoes … [14:09] Hi, i've a question : in using live-usb creator from ubuntu, my usb-drive will be renamed or not? [14:09] TandyUK: get the module-names and add 2 lines to "/etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf" "options adapter_nr=0" and "options adapter_nr=1" [14:10] llutz: one is "ngene" i cant find the other one lol [14:10] dbox-wifi: Possibly. [14:10] cool thanks llutz [14:10] should be find when i work out the other module name [14:10] TandyUK: its a guess, not sure if it will work [14:10] But both Unity and GNOME Shell run on GNOME 3 :) [14:10] TandyUK: "lsmod" might help too [14:10] I'd like to speak to a serial device on /dev/ttyUSB0 via the command line, what are there any default packages that can do so? [14:11] RevSpecies116: I think the current Unity depends on Compiz which is dropped in Gnome 3 in favor of Mutter? [14:11] Or should I say, Unity on 11.10 will run on G3 [14:11] rage: minicom, cat, echo [14:11] Unity on 11.04 is on G2.XX.XX [14:11] RevSpecies116: that makes more sense since I do not see that they burry unity with ocelot [14:12] And I believe Unity2D will run on QT [14:12] [ * | NOTICE | * ] ON JULY 1ST YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO CONNECT TO FREENODE UNLESS YOU ARE USING SASL!

[14:29] For a new deployment of a very simple LAMP application, is it better to use the LTS server release, or the most current? What are the pros/cons between using an LTS release vs. the most current stable release? How much difference is there in the core packages available for LTS vs. current, such as the phpMyAdmin or MySQL packages? [14:29] Is there a known Problem with 11.04 on Laptops? I have trouble booting. The system stops booting after a couple of boot-Messages ("Stopping save kernel messages"; etc.) [14:29] llutz: adapter_nr works for one device but not the other [14:30] cdeszaq: lts = upgrade required after 5 years; non-lts = 18 months [14:30] anyone know what parameters the dvb_usb kernel module accepts? [14:30] cdeszaq: I tend to use LTS for the simple fact its supported longer, security updates for 5 years [14:30] Anyone free to help me? Can't seem to get the wireless working on this laptop. [14:30] Kaelo: What card do you have? [14:30] TandyUK: modinfo dvb_usb [14:31] TandyUK: "parm: xxxx" should list possible options [14:31] cool [14:31] TandyUK: you could try that for the 2nd dvb-module too [14:31] rage: what sort of differences are there in the packages for LTS vs. current? [14:31] omfg with descriptive text :P [14:31] thats gonna be a command i remember :P [14:32] BCM4311 === KindThree is now known as KindOne [14:32] cdeszaq: The LTS packages are older (slightly) [14:32] Kaelo: I am very confident I can get this working. [14:32] Kaelo: Are you online in some other way (wired?) [14:32] cdeszaq: For my purposes very little difference at all. Most LAMP apps work fine on the older packages [14:33] Yay! Well, need to start off telling you I'm running kubuntu off a 4gb usb. [14:33] Yes, wired in sadly. [14:33] Kaelo: K. It is persistent? [14:33] cdeszaq: Basically unless theres a specific application you want to run that really requires the bleeding edge its usually safer to stick with LTS [14:33] I believe so, I know that if I save something to the desktop it doesn't show next I boot it... [14:34] rage: cool, thanks :) [14:34] rage: Ubuntu is never bleeding edge [14:34] Kaelo: Having the wired connection actually makes this next part a LOT easier. sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer This package installs the firmware that is necessary to use the card. [14:34] theadmin: Well its certainly not Debian experimental no :-) [14:34] rage: Arch/Gentoo are the only true bleeding-edge distros [14:34] Kaelo: That means that it is NOT persistent. :( It might get annoying. One thing at a time though. [14:34] anyone tried CrossOver Pro? Is it better then wine? [14:34] ivaylov: Nah, not really [14:34] theadmin: The main thing is, you can literally run the same config for years on LTS :-) [14:35] Kaelo: Firmware is software that runs directly on the hardware (in this case on the card). It is proprietary so Ubuntu does not want to distribute it with their OS. This command adds it the easy way. [14:35] K, should just see if we can get the wireless working before the persistence issue eh? [14:35] Kaelo: Yes I'm doing wireless first. [14:35] theadmin, i thought so, thank you :) [14:35] E: Unable to locate package firmware-b43-installer [14:36] Kaelo: are you online?

[14:42] van7hu: I have no idea ;) [14:42] generally, "lsb_release -a" is preferred because its technically possible for /etc/issue to be customized or out of date [14:42] Kaelo: I am concerned that we cannot install this package. Perhaps making this a persistent install will work better. === KindThree is now known as KindOne [14:43] /etc/issue is the message printed before login, for the login methods that bother to use it [14:43] Alright.. well how do I manage that one? :D [14:43] any ideas why my apache2 installation takes up 100% of my CPU :O [14:43] mostly getty etc [14:43] Kaelo: I'm looking it up.

[15:01] jrib: I created the symlink from inside my ~ and I assumed it would be created there... [15:01] sorry [15:01] Kaelo: ok good. last command. sudo modprobe b43 This inserts the b43 module/driver This is the driver that used to run your card. It didn't work before because of the firmware [15:02] k, it didn't return anything [15:03] Kaelo: No news is good news. That means the driver was inserted successfully. Wireless should be working now. [15:03] Holy hell I see networks D; so many networks! [15:03] Next I reboot itll be undone eh :(? [15:03] Kaelo: you are in the Matrix [15:04] I know it :| [15:04] Kaelo: not sure about the reboot. Try it! I'm not afraid to do all that again. [15:04] People are always so surprised when you get things working. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. [15:05] I think it's more the fact that the person actually has a hand in getting things working but thats just me. Not even sure if I put that right.. [15:06] Kaelo: Oh, you mean cause you just did this and it actually worked. It is not surprising that I am capable but that you are. [15:06] How do I check the mac addy of the nic again?

Due to some hardware issues, I cannot use my DVD drive at the moment, so I created a bootable USB for install. The image matched the provided hash, and the usb tool that came with the image worked fine... but for some reason I am having issues in installing Ubuntu. [15:18] hello everyone.... [15:18] I have a file with .vc4 extension [15:18] My computer either hangs up and does nothing, or kicks me out of the installation GUI and displays nothing more than an "Authentication Failure" message [15:19] What gives === Xano_ is now known as Xano [15:19] how do i open it [15:19] ??? [15:19] how do i open a disc image with .vc4 extension in 10.04? [15:20] can any one help??? [15:20] Daemeon, not sure,, by chance do you have an empty external hard drive? I only used usb install a few times and didnt like it at all,, but an external worked just fine using unetbootin [15:20] @paradox: The .VC4 file is an exact copy (image) of a CD-ROM, stored as a file on the hard disk. It can be used to run CD-based programs without inserting the physical CD. It is common disc image format recognized by several disc authoring programs [15:20] anyone? should VirtualHost take so much CPU ? :O [15:20] Kaelo: You there? [15:20] but the archive mounter does not recognize the file type...? [15:21] so can you name some other free softwares that i can use??? [15:21] @coz_ thanks. I might just have to bst down and buy one [15:21] @paradox: gimme a sec, I'll see what's supported for ubuntu. Which version do you use? [15:21] 10.04 [15:21] Daemeon, well I use are old laptop dirves for the most part,, connected via usb,,, works fine here,, [15:22] ubuntu 10.04 [15:22] @coz_ Sweet. I'll give it a shot. [15:22] thanks....

Google is my bitch :P [15:29] isn't this line correct? //campus01/mtozses /mnt/t cifs credentials=/root/.mtozses 0 0 [15:29] Hahahaha [15:30] it says No username specified [15:30] cdeszaq: its an error on the website, nobody knows why they still recommend 32bit [15:31] llutz: cool, thanks :) [15:31] lulz group hacked US senate's website.. [15:32] paradox_: not sure thats appropriate discussion for this channel, please [15:32] my uncle, a Linux neophyte, installed natty. then asked me for help with his broadcom WiFi card. in vast versions it is a 5 minute operation. I've done it a million times. but natty has been "improved" to the point that I can't find anything for drivers. or anything else. grr [15:32] hello, I'm compiling an application and I had two questions: 1 - what is the default installation directory for apps, 2 - how do I create a .deb file from my compilation (as opposed to doing make install) [15:32] WorkingOnWise: What card does he have? [15:33] the directions I find with Google are what I already know, and useless since the system menu is gone. so. help. [15:33] Akuma: what are you building ? [15:33] gnucash [15:33] WorkingOnWise: What card does he have? [15:33] Akuma: that is already in the repos - you don't need to compile it [15:33] ikonia: unfortunately the ubuntu packaged version does not provide database support [15:33] so I need to compile it [15:33] brodcom. [15:33] Akuma: really, are you %100 sure, I thought it did [15:34] WorkingOnWise: Broadcom what? BCM43xx ? [15:34] I tried with both the ubuntu repo and the getdeb repo [15:34] WorkingOnWise: 4311? 4306 ? [15:34] neither had mysql support [15:34] sorry [15:34] yes Edwina. bcm43xx. [15:34] Akuma: There is no default directory for apps as such. Linux works differently, splits libs and config and puts them into more accessible places. /opt is the best place for your compiled application though [15:34] WorkingOnWise: Edwina??? [15:34] I'm never had anybody butcher it that bad [15:34] yea, just wondering what to set for --prefix [15:35] Akuma: /usr/local [15:35] WorkingOnWise: specifically, what numbers? 4311? 4312 ? [15:35] Akuma: As for making a deb. Check out checkinstall [15:35] Akuma: one moment - I'll give you some solid info in 2 minutes [15:35] I never looked for the specific, ubunto made a 5 click solution for the whole 43xx series so I've never worried about it on his. [15:35] bye everyone [15:35] thanks [15:36] WorkingOnWise: Different cards have different installation sequences now. Are you not on that machine?

[15:37] no I'm not. from 8.04 to 10.10 the specific card didn't matter [15:37] Akuma: ok here is my suggestion [15:37] linuxpusher, not that I am aware of [15:37] I believe 2.4.2 has it as well, it's just not compiled in the ubuntu versions [15:37] ikonia: I'm all eyes [15:38] Akuma: get the ubuntu source package of gnucash (apt-get source gnucash) modify the decription file to include mysql support, and recompile the package using the official ubuntu package/source/description files [15:38] !packaging | Akuma [15:38] Akuma: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [15:38] WorkingOnWise: I can't help you if you don't know the number. Giving you a set of steps to cover all possible solutions would be beyond my abilities (and our time) [15:38] coz, thanks [15:38] Akuma: that guide should explain how to re-compile the deb, but as you are using the ubuntu source you can pretty much jump to the last steps [15:38] cool, I'll take a look at that [15:39] Akuma: its the best way to confirm compatability and formatting in same way as the existing ubuntu package [15:39] how do i find my ip info on a ubunto box [15:39] acid-trip: ip addr === dorian is now known as DorianJaminais [15:40] perfect, thank you for your help [15:40] I was hoping for a quick solution. the interface in natty is dreadful. this problem was a serious pita back with 6.10 and now we're back to a pita [15:40] Can someone help me debug a Boot of Ubuntu 11.04?

The environment is different but a lot of the languages exist on both platforms. [16:52] I red about ddrescue, and it seems like it does not copy the files to a FAT32/NTSC filesystem. i need the copied files to be visible to a windows operated machine. Does anybody know if it is posible to do that with ddrescue? [16:52] does anybody knows any programm for speech recognize? [16:53] the programming is the same [16:53] Angstromboli: the tools available on a UNIX/Linux type system offer a lot of flexibility and with flexibility comes power. But C++ is C++ and PHP is PHP. It depends on what you want to do. [16:53] thats for me ? Angstromboli [16:54] i'd be making android apps. i'm a beginner [16:54] GilAz, cp ? [16:54] Angstromboli: for Android development, it's the same. Both use Eclipse and the JDK. [16:55] * d3vil does anyone know any programm for speech recognize? [16:55] GilAz, there's plenty of other tools, and no ddrescue is not even remotely the solution. ddrescue is somewhat similar to dd and it basically mirrors contents on a lower level than cp for instance [16:55] i think i'll go for linux just because i want to get familiar with it anyway [16:55] but cp asks me what i want to do in case of errors, but there are too many errors because the disk is defected [16:55] psycho_oreos, what would you recommand me to do?

That is an easy way, the other is to maybe ddrescue the contents into a big image file and use filecarving tools to carve whatever data you need out of it on the destination device (note that destination device must have at bare minimum the exact amount of storage space than source device [16:58] if not more) [16:59] any programm for speech recognation?

The problem is that when I just start it up, it can't get to the Internet (can't resolve the domain names). When I turn off eth1 (the host-only connection), the routes fix themselves and it works correctly when I turn eth1 back on. How can I get it to behave correctly on boot?

[17:18] JoeBloggs: after installing driver unity doesnt work [17:18] one of them is cypted, the most common cause of the problem you are seeing is the file systems not getting mounted cleanly first time [17:19] ikonia: I don't know, I just did a fresh install, it asked if I wanted to encrypt my /home partition and I answered positively)) I guess this is why it created it [17:19] Nikro: your home partition isn't encypted though [17:19] Nikro try removing the crypt swap partition from fstab [17:19] Nikro: sorry, didn't mean to pm that to you [17:20] ikonia: erm, oki, let me comment that out) [17:20] vvintegro, have you tried an older version of the driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12.html [17:20] could be that Unity requires more than your card can give [17:21] JoeBloggs: no, but i try an older version of the driver.

[17:25] is there any way to force applications to store configs in ~/.config/apps instead of ~/.apps?

[18:45] Ignore 'also', I had two issues from a dist. upgrade, first one solved [18:46] when creating a custom livecd ..... i'm chroot'd into my mounted filesystem on the livecd and see no profiles under /home. it makes me think the profile is created on startup. [18:46] Jon--: not sure what vmware services are, but i did have to upgrade my vmware player when updating ubuntu from 8.04 to 10.04 [18:46] is this the case? [18:47] roryy, I did dpkg --get-selections | grep vmware and I didn't see any player/server installed. D: what is the package name if it doesn't have 'vmware' in it? [18:47] why is it when you need to get work done you can not depend on microshaft or mac os x to get the job done right [18:48] amicrawle: Did you have a support question?

[18:50] Okay, perhaps a better question then, how do i view/remove services starting up with the computer? I get the error on the purple Ubuntu screen complaining about 'Starting VMWare services... FAILED' [18:50] i was trying to do some dvd making of my own content [18:51] Jon--: update-rc.d if memory serves.

[18:53] im not at all [18:53] just pointing out the facts [18:53] so... any knowledge of how the user profile on the livecd is created? [18:53] Jon--: Yeah, but you want to update the symlinks that invoke it at entry into separate runlevels. [18:53] Jon--: I'm afraid I don't know, but it is a good suspect [18:53] Jon--: you can use update-rc.d to disable/enable startup scripts [18:53] Jon--: rather than deleting the file [18:54] thanks oCean i'll give it a look === pfifo_ is now known as pfifo [18:54] amicrawle: Delightful; please do it in -offtopic [18:54] is there a way to install updates from moving from 10.04 to 11 [18:55] on cdrom or dvd iso [18:55] amicrawle: Yes, declare the media in your package sources. [18:55] so dont have to dl from the server [18:55] amicrawle: You'll still want to update from the net afterwards, as patches have been released since the ISOs were cut.

[19:03] I am an Ubuntu noob and have recently been getting blank screen crashes where the only way to get the computer to respond is to litterally kill the power at the power supply. Even the power button (on front) has no effect. I have been googling for this but I seem to be led to this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen which is not what I am experiencing - its random interval not on startup. [19:04] I did an installation of 11.04 with some partitions encrypted by dm_crypt. Now I need to access those from a Live-Image because the grub installation failed. But I get an "not a valid LUKS device" when trying the standard "cryptsetup luksOpen". [19:06] Dobuntu: What do the logs say when the machine comes back up? dmesg may be of use. [19:06] So far I cannot find anything in the log viewer that gives me any clear indicators [19:07] I will look again though... [19:07] Corey: I will look some more though. [19:07] Snafu, ruh-roh...

[19:54] TheDead91: you should try a lighter distribution to begin with in my opinion [19:54] TheDead91: Ubuntu is pretty much optimized out of the box.

[19:57] dragonslayer314, HE like ubuntu, and he tryied a distro, i don't remember what but he want more speed [19:58] celthunder: all my websites use php mail() commands; is it possible to set it so all of those messages are sent through an external server? [19:58] andycc: I'm actually just in a regular bash terminal [19:58] Replugged it :( [19:58] puargs: probably [19:58] celthunder what's a ligther wm/de? [19:58] lxde [19:58] TheDead91: xubuntu is just ubuntu with xfce. so it would be lighter [19:58] KyleZero1: ok, I'm out of options, sorry [19:59] Er.. [19:59] Okay :9 [19:59] hello there. had a quick question.... when one apt-get installs mysql, it auto starts. We have a provisioning system that installs mysql, but we need it to not auto-start until we make some modifications to the configuration. Is there a way to install it without it suat-starting? [19:59] TheDead91: i would recommend a tiling wm tho, like awesome or dwm [19:59] TheDead91: uhm openbox xmonad awesome stumpwm fluxbox dwm...lxde/xfce/are lighter than gnome/kde/unity but more resource intensive than the first few [19:59] dragonslayer314: TheDead91 i agree...tiling wm's are good [20:00] TheDead91: if you're doing this for a relatively-new-to-Linux friend, I'd go with the classic GNOME desktop or maybe, if you're really having speed issues, Xfce. [20:00] celthunder: once you go tiling you never go back [20:00] dragonslayer314, well I think he alredy tried it out, but he's still looking to save moro second [20:00] dragonslayer314: yep [20:00] andycc: he want's a LIGHT wm...gnome is definitly not light [20:00] I will try XFce [20:01] and niether is xfce tbh [20:02] as phrik put it xfce: gnome with more bugs less features and the same bloat [20:03] ~ [20:03] how old are the computers you guys use if gnome is too slow [20:03] i never knew xfce was that bad [20:03] i never used it that much [20:03] celthunder: I didn't say GNOME is lightweight, but I tend to recommend usability over speed. Of course, if you know your way around, screen is very usable, but not for Joe, the average user. [20:03] xfce is a good trade-off [20:04] extraclassic: AMD Phenom 840 16GB DDR3 16000 Nvidia 540GTX [20:04] extraclassic: my computer is new and can definitely use gnome. but i still prefer lightweight applications mostly [20:05] extraclassic: dragonslayer314 exactly...why use 90 percent of the comp's capabilties to do basic tasks when using 40MB of ram will do just fine [20:05] I do think #ubuntu-offtopic is the right place for a DE flame war, though. [20:06] andycc: probably [20:06] hi. I need to fina a channel specifically for mobile phone stuff. can anyone point me in the right direction please [20:06] magpii: android? #android #android-dev #cyanogenmod [20:07] cheers [20:07] its not an android phone. its a microshite one [20:07] magpii: /msg alis help list [20:07] magpii: then idk [20:07] magpii: And please keep the company-bashing out of here.

[20:08] if i'm installing ubuntu to dual boot, which file system should i format the partition? [20:09] Angstromboli: Irrelevant, you're not going to be booting the Ubuntu partition from the second OS. [20:09] Angstromboli: ? ext4 or btrfs [20:09] Angstromboli: depending on what you use it for other partition types may be better [20:10] how can I enable TARGA support on ubuntu? [20:10] the other partition is ntfs [20:10] but [20:10] well if i have windows on another partition, if i used ntfs would windows be able to recognize it [20:11] Angstromboli: you can install extfs for windows there used to be a program to add it idk if it still exists or not [20:12] Angstromboli: assuming yo uchoose ext of course [20:12] anyone here using preseeding for ubuntu ?

[20:14] the infamous .tga files [20:14] I'm sure ImageMagick will do it, type convert --help [20:14] celthunder: It is not in sources.lst it is in sources.d [20:14] bullgard4: in the future please use #test for that purpose [20:14] andycc: Okay, but I think ppa-purge should be installed by default. [20:15] just wondering if someone would care to paste a working preseed file [20:15] JohnnyonFlame: gimp [20:15] celthunder: not quite [20:16] I put ubuntu on a vps. Stripped it down, put sshfs on it. Added a user, put that user in sudo and fuse groups. When I try sshfs mounting, it says failed to open /dev/fuse permission denied, even if I sudo it. [20:17] hi, Nautilus is killing my unmounted drives - spinning them up, then down all the time, is there some solution for this? [20:18] Isn't there an unmount button somewhere (I am not using unity). [20:18] I'd be surprised if it's nautilus. Could something else be accessing the mounts? [20:18] You can check what files each program has open by right-clicking processes in the system monitor [20:18] Somelauw: they are unmounted [20:18] íèõåðà ñå [20:19] computerx: it IS Nautilus - it happens when I open a file manager window etc. [20:19] ÷å âàñ ñòîëüêî ìíîãî?

[21:32] hiexpo: i guess switch to tree mode [21:32] jrib cause it is own but root ~ so users can't create file directly under it [21:32] by* [21:32] centHOGG, i thought you wanted to turn beeping off?

[22:20] Zommie: np. sorry I didn't have better news [22:20] cgroza: ATI === superbsd- is now known as Espreon- === KaZ- is now known as KaZ_ [22:20] but check ubuntuforums to see if someone has had issues with your card in the past [22:20] do u have a url for vendor?

[22:26] blz yes i want to play games [22:26] hi. i've upgraded to 11.04, and after the restart the system failed to load after showing grub.

If you want to run windows games, you should check wineHQ to see how well they're supported under wine [22:27] Guest40866: Then use windows 7. [22:27] Why is Ubuntu so buggy? [22:27] Guest40866: but there are a bunch of linux games that works too [22:27] rational0gre i will [22:27] Hey guys I've had this problem where whenever I install ubuntu it fails to display my monitors native resolution [22:27] Menzie: because you haven't debugged it [22:27] yet all the drivers are installed correctly [22:27] Menzie: or because you're not running LTS. Pick one. [22:28] blz: Being an LTS doesn't mean it has no bugs. [22:28] it takes me at least 20 restarts to connect to my wireless network [22:28] KaZ_: Perhaps your monitor is reporting buggy edid information? [22:28] Pici: no, it just means there are fewer [22:28] in theory anyway [22:29] Pici: and most people complaining about ubuntu being unstable or "buggy" are non-LTS users [22:29] im complaining because it cant run games [22:29] but if it could i would love it [22:29] and ubuntu has regular HDD and software problems [22:29] no viruses on here. i believe [22:29] fps? [22:29] Guest40866: It can. And I just told you how [22:29] blz i tried installing the game using wine [22:29] blz it wont le tme mount [22:29] Guest40866: Linux is not Windows. If you want to run Windows programs you'll either need to use WINE or use some virtualization or use Windows. [22:30] I do like the look but its so buggy and internet is unreliable [22:30] Guest40866: Good idea (complaining about games not running on ubuntu) but misdirected. You should complain to the game companies. [22:30] Pici but why dont they make it so uy can run games on here [22:30] puff [22:30] puff thats true [22:30] Guest40866: That owuld be a good question for the game companies. [22:30] Guest40866: wine isn't an iso mounting program. Mounting is a separate issue [22:31] Oops! i'm running straight into windows. [22:31] Damn. [22:31] blz i know i mean i mounted both cd's but during installation it said insert disk 2 [22:31] It's probably looking for disc 2 at disc 1's mountpoint [22:31] just unmount disc1 and mount disc2 in it's place [22:31] I have a win7 partition to run games and stream netflix. Everything else I do on ubuntu [22:31] KaZ_: sudo apt-get install read-edid, then run "sudo get-edid | parse-edid > monitor.txt" [22:32] and make sure the mountpoint has the same name across the entire time of installation [22:32] Why is my internet connection on Ubuntu running slow? and why does Ubuntu struggle to connect to wireless? [22:32] rationalOgre: Thanks for all the help! [22:32] blz it wont let me uninstall disk 1 [22:32] Menzie: that has a lot to do with your adapter.

[22:32] hello.. i have a python script that sends emails that works fine except for when it's on my Ubuntu machine. It's simple and uses the builtin smtplib. do i have to set up something else? [22:32] why are vague questions hard to answer [22:32] I want to run a command on startup that requires sudo. How do I do that? The command is sudo etherape [22:32] Guest40866: well you need to tell us what's going on in order for us to help you. Pastebin any errors and tell us how you went aobut doing the thing causing the problem [22:33] Because they are vague === Guest65664 is now known as lcn [22:33] Metroshica: i believe you have to add it to your init.d services [22:33] but i may be wrong [22:34] I wouldnt know where to begin, XP has packed up again and it takes me 20 restarts to connect to wireless, ive tried 3 wireless modems and 2 adapters === lcn is now known as Guest33288 [22:34] Just trying out natty... how do I open multiple calculators? It keeps selecting my already open one if I click the icon [22:34] Menzie: start by seeing if your wireless adapter is supported under ubuntu [22:34] blz: how do I go about doing that? write a script and put it in init.d? [22:34] Menzie: wireless modems? you mean wifi cards? or actual modems? [22:34] both [22:34] Menzie: you should also check jockey for 3rd party drivers that may be required for your adapter [22:34] Metroshica: google === lake is now known as lake_away [22:35] blz: thanks a ton, why would I come here if I hadn't already looked on google?

[22:36] rationalOgre: yes [22:36] Metroshica, Pici: so yes, lrn2google is called for in this cas, sorry =/ [22:36] now [22:36] lillem4n: Mine stacks them and I have to drag one off the top of the second if I open multiples. [22:36] *case [22:37] blz: don't need to be a jerk about it, I've been looking around on google for a while, and I hadn't found it, if you had just pasted that link it would have been much more polite [22:37] Metroshica: add the command to /etc/rc.local, you won't need the sudo as it runs as root on startup [22:37] how do i get back to ubuntu, when i don't see grub anymore and i boot straight to windows XP? [22:37] rationalOgre: Interesting. All my applications only open one instance. In chrome, for example, I can use Ctrl-N to open a new window, but tapping the shortcut only activates the latest open window [22:37] keithb: and that's the answer I was looking for, thanks a ton [22:37] blz: Telling someone to google something should be a last resort when you have no more to add yourself. [22:37] Metroshica: you don't need throw around a sarcastic "thanks a ton", either.

[22:38] vatts: did you install windows after ubuntu [22:38] vatts, Try booting up in a LiveCD, then mounting your MBR to check the GRUB settings. [22:38] lillem4n: that might be a "feature" of unity. You're using 11.04, correct? [22:38] thanks a ton everyone for the USEFUL help [22:38] Metroshica; you're welcome. good luck [22:38] rationalOgre: yeah. :) And yeah [22:38] F5D7000 or 6000 not sure which one i have, all i know its a G card by belkin [22:39] i want to be able to rename a file when i copy it to a directory that already has a file of the same name, how do i do that? [22:39] Can I disable that "feature" somehow? It kinda sucks ;) [22:39] Metroshica: That won't work on ubuntu to my knowledge [22:39] Metroshica: There is no /etc/rc.local for ubuntu. [22:40] enjablot: Doesnt it suggest you can rename when finding a conflicting file already? 10.11 did... [22:40] extraclassic, mhm [22:40] celestica_-, will need your help for that [22:40] Have debugged a desktop problem in ubuntu 11.4 enabling the cube effect again [22:40] lillem4n: not that i can see, i am on 10.04 [22:40] yes there is an rc.local, I checked /etc before replying [22:40] switching form unity to gnome-panel bug [22:40] Metroshica: what you can do is create the file /etc/init.d/local then type in "sudo update-rc.d local" [22:40] it does however on my maverick machine [22:40] enjablot: Ah, maybe that feature was added in 10.11. THen you get the options: Overwrite, skip or rename :) [22:41] lillem4n: it only give skip and replace [22:41] i see [22:41] are there any changes for sponsorship in the ¨Ubuntu Certified Professional examen 199¨ program ? [22:41] and yeah celestica_- - can be liveCD to boot installed 10.04 versioned with 8.04? cause 10.04 doesn't boot for me. [22:41] keithb: the file may exist but I do not believe it is part of the ubuntu boot process. [22:41] keithb: Especially since the conversion to upstart. [22:41] enjablot: Well.. You could update, or do a shell script.. or do it manually :) [22:41] rational0gre: thanks a ton, I just found that online, this is the sort of help I was looking for [22:42] rationalOgre: could be but it's probably not hard to re-enable it [22:42] Noone knows how I can start several instances of the same application in 11.04 - Unity? [22:42] lillem4n: depending on the application [22:42] vatts, The LiveCD of 10.04 will not boot? There may be something wrong with the CD itself [22:42] iceroot: Most important for me: calculator and leafpad [22:43] mhm [22:43] thats why i installed 8.04 and updated to 10.04 [22:43] what does not found string table mean? does anyone know? [22:43] keithb: More difficult than you think. Google about it. the solution I gave is one of the "easiest" to mimic rc.local behaviour. [22:43] lillem4n: i usually use synapse or a similar launcher. you can just punch in the app from there and it'll open in a fresh instance [22:43] its just like, booting and not starting XORG / forcing video / i'm comming into terminal [22:43] vatts, Ah, so your install is currently on 10.04? [22:43] lillem4n: using the super key and punching in the app name from there works too [22:43] mhm [22:43] (affirmative) [22:43] Metroshica: once you've added local you can just put your scripts in there. [22:43] lillem4n: and hitting enter will launch the first app in your list of results [22:43] and they will run at boot. And you're welcome. [22:44] vatts, I'm hesitant to advise you on this, I came to ubuntu around 9.10 :P I don't think it should matter which LiveCD you use though ,since we will be editing the file already on your hard drive [22:44] lillem4n: ill prob have to update then, its for my father and he doesnt like to do it the "hard" way [22:44] lillem4n: the "one per instance" thing has to do with how unity works. You could enable classic mode. [22:44] !classic | lillem4n [22:44] lillem4n: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [22:45] lillem4n: but it will look different. [22:45] file editing! i love that [22:45] * vatts runs away. "NOT!" [22:45] :) [22:45] vatts: you might be using the wrong OS, then =) [22:45] doh? [22:45] heh blz [22:45] blz: Ah, yes. That works... but its really messy to have to do that each time. :/ :/ The launcher is so... natural place to start a new instance. :) [22:46] file editing could be also editing .NEFs from camera, which basically is file editing. even if that file is picture. so i kinda hate editing pictures which aren't good out-of-camera :P [22:46] lillem4n: yean, unity is still fresh. A bit too fresh imo, but whatever. Honestly install synapse and never look back. I hardly touch the mouse now. [22:46] just 2c :P [22:46] rationalOgre: Thanks. :) But I know, just trying to see if I can get unity to work in a "production" environment for me :) [22:46] i upgraded to the latest ubuntu, and now when my ubuntu machine starts, the display is all weird.. as if the refresh isnt working right... its like black and as you move the mouse and drag stuff around- its very trippy.. what could this be??? [22:46] ok, gonna boot from CD now [22:46] lillem4n: Sorry, didn't know you knew. Yeah, unity is still... *green* [22:46] 8.04LTS [22:46] :D [22:47] vatts what version of ubuntu are you wanting to boot?

What's up? [22:47] rationalOgre: np. Thanks for the help :) I think I'll stick with LTS for my production desktop [22:47] i still havent messed with unity much, its just so awkward feeling for me, coming form gnome [22:47] rationalOgre: on 10.04, it looks like rc.local is still run from reading the scripts, I'll try it and see [22:47] lillem4n: That's what I'm running. haven't messed with 11.04 yet. [22:48] lol I must be the only one who likes unity despite the feature/bugs [22:48] lillem4n: thanks for the help btw [22:48] 8.04 installed, updated to 10.04, booting from 8.04 cd [22:48] DOES ANYBODY PLAY FREESTYLE STREET BASKETBALLL?

I also think it's a shame that I can't get gnome shell to work on 11.04 [22:49] which is, not nice from M$BL to be faster than GRUB, because was GRUB there first. [22:49] hi [22:49] M$BL = S-O-A-B.

[22:59] that should be coming soon, I think Google is going to force the issue [23:00] \o/ [23:00] if chrome os gets it lets [23:00] hope we all do :) [23:00] [offtopic] Watching Guest408 66 try to troll the channel operators in #ubuntu-ops ... what an idiot /offtopic [23:01] blz: don't [23:01] maco: you're right. i have work to do anyway... [23:01] linuxphox, that wouldn't explain why Adobe dropped Air for GNU/Linux today - they claimed linux desktop to be less then 1% and not worth their time (thus the same should apply to Google/Netflix/etc.) [23:02] ZykoticK9_: except that when Google releases Chrome OS and OEM's start pumping linux based laptops out in mass... === nitro is now known as Guest7026 [23:03] i'm optimistic :) [23:03] How to get back clock in Unity when you have disable it [23:03] Anyone have any experience with Etherape?

[23:06] hi folks, i have an issue with samba/webmin running on an ubuntu server, anyone out there be able to help me out a bit? [23:06] where can i go for general discussions? [23:06] !webmin | silence9 [23:06] Nickkkkk: in your terminal [23:06] silence9: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [23:06] webmin i use [23:06] rubenjr: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:06] rubenjr: #defocus is the general channel for chit-chat, or #ubuntu-offtopic [23:06] Nickkkkk, ubuntu-ot [23:07] ubottu: i found that out after i did some research, but in any case would you be able help me revert something I did through webmin with samba? [23:07] silence9: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === Grayside is now known as grayside|afk [23:07] silence9, centHOGG the factoid in #debian for webmin is MUCH more harsh [23:08] Metroshica: Why not just add it to your System > preferences ? startup applications? [23:08] ZykoticK9_: :( i get it. webmin = bad, i've learned my lesson, I just want to fix what i screwed up [23:08] Blah, system > preferences > startup applications [23:09] that donesn't work, I have no idea why [23:10] I have already, but on startup it doesn't do anything [23:10] Metroshica: probably because sudo can't authenticate when run automatically [23:10] Metroshica: even if you make the command "gksudo etherape " [23:11] So how do I bypass the sudo authentication? [23:11] Metroshica: Try it with gksudo [23:11] Is there an alternative to webmin to perhaps undo what I screwed up with Samba for Ubuntu? [23:11] rationalOgre: good idea :) [23:11] I'm googling it right now, but I apologize, I'm not familiar with gksudo, any sort of syntax I should know? [23:11] rationalOgre, sudo or gksudo both require user input "password" and thus cannot be used as "startup" applications (by default) [23:11] o.o [23:11] Bleh. [23:12] Why is my damn computer so low. [23:12] silence9: As a general rule, "learn what you're doing" and stick to the command line for server administration. There's really no good GUI for such things. [23:12] Nickkkkk: ram [23:12] ZykoticK9_: Ah, I figured it would pop up the "enter password" window. [23:12] Nickkkkk, we don't know whyis it whathave you done >? [23:12] Corey: yea I'm trying to wrap my head around it, but right now I'm just trying to get things stable, and I figure a GUI is the best way to go because I'm not linux-strong [23:13] rationalOgre, true, "perhaps" gksu would work... [23:13] silence9: I've yet to see a secure one. [23:13] I know :c [23:14] Corey: do you know anything about samba on ubuntu, perhaps I could explain the situation if you wouldn't mind telling me how to fix it via cmd lind [23:14] ZykoticK9_: But it would have to happen during the desktop login, which is when a users Startup Applications are processed. === puma is now known as Adamfyre [23:14] gksudo shouldbe used to run applicatitions < graphical [23:14] rationalOgre, correct [23:14] ZykoticK9_: Now, if he wanted it to start as a daemon then he'd have to use an init script. [23:14] silence9: I don't do shared filesystems, ask someone else; perhaps #ubuntu-server [23:15] rationalOgre, or edits to sudoers [23:15] is it difficult to get a digital camera to be recognized in ubuntu? [23:15] ZykoticK9_: Didn't think of that but that's true. Could make himself allowed to run the program without a password. [23:15] itilious: Usually, no. [23:15] Corey: thanks mate [23:16] itilious: Not really, they perceive them as shared storage. [23:16] itilious: But, what you really need to do is access it's media. Right? [23:16] usr13, yes [23:16] * MeCooL Hi [23:16] itilious: "Plug it in, you're done" usually. [23:16] Corey, so shouldnt it come up in FSTAB? or even fdisk -l? [23:16] need help with gconf-editor [23:16] itilious, depends whats the problem > you need to be more specific with your ? like i can not get my so and so camera to work in ubunto so an so issue :p [23:16] itilious: It will depend upon how it's being mounted. [23:17] itilious: fstab is specifically for automounting drives from boot-to-boot. [23:17] any pxe boot gurus in the house? I can seem to get my ethernet to activate and I have added the module to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and did mkinitramfs [23:17] itilious: I mostly just use a card reader. [23:17] can*t* [23:17] the only place i can ubuntu to "See" it is lsusb, but i can't figure out where to actually access it [23:18] itilious: type "mount -l" at the command prompt [23:18] spiderr: The NIC will need to be PXE enalbed. [23:18] spiderr: Some NICs just don't do PXE. [23:18] itilious: That will give you a list of drives and where they are mounted [23:19] itilious: Look for something mounted in /media [23:19] rationalOgre, you really should try finding out what camera it is - it may not be supported by automounting (what mount, "might" but I'm guessing won't show) [23:19] usr13, yeah, I have pxe enabled on BIOS and it boots. [23:19] rationalOgre, tried that and looked there already, zilch,, [23:19] ' i get this now: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1501700 [23:19] ZykoticK9_: Just was checking to see if it was there first, if it was, problem solved, if not well then we can go on to figuring out why. [23:19] spiderr: So, have you configured the DHCP server to point to the PXE server? [23:20] yeah. I have other machines on network PXE booting. this is a new ubuntu image. [23:20] i really need to get the USB camer to work in winxp, can't i just block or "blacklist" the camera in some way? [23:20] the lights on the mobo nic go out during kernel boot, and never come back [23:21] can someone show me how to sudo a command that is on the right side of a pipe....for example "somecommand | [i need to sudo this command]write user tty7" [23:21] so I am thinking somehow module for eth0 is not loading before the IP-Config call or something? [23:21] Hello. Why can't I open this .exe file in the Terminal? I can open it with a double click in Nautilus, because I already changed permission to be an executable, but I still get this message in the Terminal osmodivs@Djiin:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/booddanet/Half-Life 2$ ./hl2.exe [23:21] bash: ./hl2.exe: cannot execute binary file [23:21] Ohkay. So I looked through the top command in terminal, and it's showing me Xorg is the biggest sucker of all my ram. What exaclty is that, and is it okay to kill it? [23:21] hexacode, use "tee", sorry no specifics for ya - but that is the solution [23:22] ok thanks [23:22] itilious: So you want it to NOT load in Ubuntu? [23:22] osmodivs_: because bash doesn't know about wine - try "wine ./hl2.exe" [23:22] anyone have use osx in a vm with ubuntu? [23:22] itilious: Your sentence is a bit difficult to parse for me, for some reason. [23:22] I've done it Adamfyre. [23:22] osmodivs_, it's the spaces. [23:22] It's smoother than it works with windows ;p [23:22] rationalOgre, i was trying to understand how ubuntu deals with it, to hopefuly find out how to get it to work in virtualbox [23:23] Nickkkkk: xorg runs the gui... if you kill it you'll only have a full screen command line [23:23] osmodivs_, use double quotes around the path [23:23] rationalOgre, and i can't even get ubuntu to access the files [23:23] (actually it'll probably restart itself, but your login session will go away and you'll have to log back in) [23:23] itilious: try running this "sudo lshw -C disk > disks.txt" [23:23] osmodivs_, oh sorry, is that a cd into the directory? [23:23] rationalOgre, so my theory is that if i get it to work properly in host, i can get it to pass thru to guest vm [23:23] Oh Random832. [23:23] Guh, then why is my computer so slow! [23:23] It says everything is else is trunning ohkay :/ [23:23] Nickkkkk: try seeing if anything is using the cpu [23:23] Like? [23:24] osmodivs_, after the cd, use "wine hl2.exe" [23:24] itilious: Makes sense. [23:24] All I ahve open is terminal. [23:24] ....well what tool are you using to check on memory? [23:24] top [23:24] sort it by cpu usage [23:24] itilious: Once that command is done run "less disks.txt" and scroll through it, see if you can find the line that deals with the camera. [23:24] wine hl2.exe worked [23:24] osmodivs_: wine `fine ~ -name hl2.exe` [23:25] *find [23:25] qin fine? [23:25] *find [23:25] Nickkkkk what did you use for an iso for OSX? [23:25] Nickkkkk: use "O" [uppercase letter o] to get to the list of fields you can sort by [23:25] and sort by %CPU [23:25] rationalOgre, nothing related to camera,, and it IS on [23:26] Adamfyre: uhm. stock dvd. [23:26] ohkay Random832. [23:26] Nickkkkk gotcha. I have that but it wouldn't boot from it when I tried it last night [23:26] rationalOgre, but lsusb still shows it [23:26] whats the package name for chromium? [23:26] itilious: Ok, what's the make/model of the camera? and what version of ubuntu are you running? [23:27] There we go :3 [23:27] Fixed it. [23:27] :P [23:27] anyone know how to remove applets using gconf-editor from users [23:27] Thanks for your guys help. [23:27] Nickkkkk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:28] qin: osmodivs@Djiin:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/booddanet/Half-Life 2$ wine 'find ~ name hl2.exe [23:28] > [23:29] osmodivs_: No! Use find if you do not want to cd to .wine directory... [23:29] itilious, see if photo2 supports your camera model, http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php if it does, install that and give it a try. Best of luck. [23:30] qin, osmodivs@Djiin:~$ wine 'find ~ name hl2.exe [23:30] > [23:30] osmodivs_: ...otherwise: cd ~/.wine/...

[23:32] how do I get lchown or any other method to change opwnership of a symlink? [23:33] itilious, also regarding vbox - the ose version in Ubuntu repo doesn't support USB (just an FYI - you need to get it from Oracle directory for USB and VNC support) [23:34] I've got a file that looks like it has hard returns on the end of every short line.

The 100GB works now that I formatted it, but I haven't found a solution for the 250GB one [23:48] robin0800, themexbob NO - not if you're using grub2! you probably are. [23:49] themexbob, /etc/default/grub has a line with the default kernel parameters if you need to change something! you need to run update-grub2 after any changes! that that needs to be chrooted. phone [23:51] ZykoticK9_, that is the file you are supposed to change but not sure there is anything in there about function keys [23:51] ZykoticK9_: file is not located under directory /etc/default/ how can i find file or where can it be if not on default directory... [23:52] I need a dvd with some data files (pictures). I was told that in order to create such dvd I just had to add the files to a folder in the root of the dvd so, after creating the iso file with devede; I used ISO master to add such folder and files. The problem is that the resulting iso file was useless; It worked on some dvd players but not in most (2 out of 6 tested). Also, neither totem movie player nor VLC would play the iso fil [23:52] e nor the burned dvd with such modified iso; but everything worked fine when I either burned or used the iso file to watch the video(s). Is there a safe way to add the pictures folders to the dvd iso file? and if so, how? TIA!!! [23:53] themexbob, robin0800 sorry my bad - you where asking about the correct file originally! my mind just say the old grub file. sorry but as I said run update-grub2 after any changes! [23:54] themexbob, what do you mea? are you on a live cd or something? [23:54] tutorial states that replacing line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT will get my fn keys back...
