[00:00] lol u what escott lol what swat? [00:00] ok what do I need to install on mac? [00:00] red__, its a gui for samba configuration. i don't know much about it, but it is suggesting in !samba [00:01] red__: sudo apt-get install nast && sudo nast -i eth0 -m (-i wlan0 for wifi, this list machines on lan) [00:01] i need help [00:01] red__: swat makes configuring samba a lot easier. For a new user I would suggest it [00:01] !ask | iLuvGirlz [00:01] iLuvGirlz: 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. :-) [00:02] alright the problem is that when I play any video the video would appear right over my internet broswer or any other window [00:02] where would I find upstart's logs? Trying to create a new service and it doesn't start with "start new-service" [00:02] its really annoying [00:02] Howdy, which is the simplest terminal text editor to use? [00:02] MC8: nano [00:03] Nano [00:03] What's the line that I can add to my .ssh/config file to prevent Public Key Authentication for a specific host? [00:03] ah, thanks. I should have remembered that [00:04] does anyone know how to fix my video problem? the video(s) i play no matter which video program it would cover up my other app(s) and windows, like when I right click the video to open the menu options it is blocked by the video(its right underneath the video) [00:05] qin i done that what u said [00:05] does anyone know how I can allow a specific port on my ubuntu server? Would it be AppArmor that is blocking it? It's a non-sytem port (port > 1024) [00:05] or a range of ports [00:06] iptables? [00:06] time for a coffee [00:06] shalom [00:06] grekkos, do you have ufw enabled [00:06] escott: how can I check? [00:06] hey you guys...what exactly is this operator called ">>" . this is the cntext which i use it. echo "hello world" >> helloworld.txt [00:06] hexacode: append [00:06] MSHughes: actually I'm not sure it's a default Ubuntu Server install I just set up [00:06] thanks [00:06] Whenever I connect to a new host, My computer attempts to use every public key that I have. Is there a way to prevent this and only use public keys that I specify with a host in my .ssh/config file? [00:06] grekkos, sudo iptables --list [00:06] MSHughes: does iptables come with ubuntu by default? [00:07] no one can help me? [00:07] <[THC]AcidRain> not sure what its called. but it is append [00:07] grekkos, I believe so [00:07] <[THC]AcidRain> grekkos [00:07] edbian is that a bash operator? [00:07] hexacode: It's bash yes. [00:07] hexacode: Do you know what it does? [00:07] escott: it says policy ACCEPT straight down the line [00:08] yes...i just want to look up how it does it...does bash call an sbin program and pass the righthand side as an argument to the sbin utility? [00:08] guys when I put any program over the video the video would still appear on top of it, its annoying, how do you stop it? [00:08] escott: that should mean it should be accepting everything no? I can't even telnet on that port from within the network using the local ip [00:08] the video would appear over every single program, menu etc [00:08] iLuvGirlz, sounds like a problem with xv extension. what video card do you have? [00:09] edbian does bash call an external program in sbin when u use the append operator? im not exacly sure how it works, but would like to know [00:09] hexacode: Well sbin programs are just programs that require root to run. It probably has some things in bash that do file operations, those make system calls that do reads and write, those make drivers calls that spin the disk and stuff. [00:09] ati 4250 mobility [00:09] ah ok edbian, thanks [00:10] escott: is it possible that apparmor is blocking something? [00:10] Simpy!! :D [00:10] I also been installing some xv extensions maybe that is the problem? [00:10] Simpy!! :D [00:10] Simpy!! :D [00:10] simpleblue: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:10] hexacode: What is the bigger picture here? [00:10] edbian this is actually what im trying to do, but it wont work...someone told me to use the tee utility to do this { sudo echo "r3d2 \n root" >> /etc/cron.allow [00:10] grekkos, i thought apparmor was more concerned with file paths, but yes i suppose it is possible [00:10] oopd edbian ....take out the { [00:10] escott: is it just read/write permission? I don't know if that could affect opening ports or anything like that for communication [00:11] there is something NOTgood happening.... after an upgrade of the 10.04 LTS server I start getting a kernel panic.. [00:11] oh i think I may see the issue [00:12] How can I check for communication of a specific port number without using telnet? === giovanni is now known as Guest23391 [00:12] Rioght now I'm reinstalling the system to pinpoint the problem... but how come a 10.04 LTS can give kernel panic can not mount fs after an update/upgrade?! === Guest23391 is now known as GiooOvanni [00:12] iLuvGirlz, mplayer will allow you to specifically select the output format with the -vo option (mplayer -vo help) see if you can confirm it is xv [00:12] hexacode: The reason it doesn't work is because sudo applies to echo but it does not apply to >> [00:12] grekkos: netcat or nc. [00:13] hexacode: I recommend: sudo nano /etc/cron.allow and just type that stuff at the end [00:13] edbian, whats the quivalent tee command that im trying to get at? [00:13] hexacode: I'm trying to look it up right now [00:13] thanks [00:13] i will try but i dont have mplayer it happens with any video player [00:13] Jeruvy: thanks I'll take a look at it [00:14] hexacode, echo | sudo tee filename [00:14] hexacode: echo 'whatever' | sudo tee /path/to/file [00:14] darnit! [00:14] * edbian is frustrated [00:14] hexacode: echo 'whatever' | sudo tee -a /path/to/file [00:15] hexacode: use -a to append instead of overwriting the entire file [00:15] sim [00:16] Jeruvy: do you have an example on how to listen with nc? I'm trying nc -l -p 27015 and it's showing me usage i'm not sure what i'm missing [00:17] grekkos: Thats not uncommon. What are you trying to accomplish? [00:17] Jeruvy: I want to check to make sure a firewall isn't blocking incoming traffic to my ubuntu machine on port 27015 [00:18] grekkos: Is it on lan? [00:18] grekkos: so you're checking externally? [00:18] Jeruvy: qin I am checking it internally right now to see if it's a software firewall [00:19] (or trying to) [00:19] hey edbian i got dc'ed [00:19] i dont know if you responded [00:19] hexacode: dc'ed? [00:19] use nmap [00:19] to check for open ports [00:19] disconnected from irc [00:20] grekkos: 2200 4567 open [00:20] grekkos: so you have the right idea, remove the '-l' [00:20] hexacode: echo 'something' | sudo tee -a /path/to/file [00:21] Jeruvy: does the same thing [00:21] grekkos: is not nmap better? [00:21] Jeruvy: do I have to listen on the host machine or I can just probe it like that from the other? [00:21] edbian thanks [00:21] qin: I don't know I haven't tried it yet, I've never actually used nmap except for a handful of occasions [00:21] hexacode: sure [00:21] grekkos: nc works both ways. [00:21] grekkos: nmap can probe machines remotely (unless they're behind NAT or firewall) [00:21] Hi everyone :) [00:22] qin: I also don't seem to have nmap on this machine right now [00:22] you can also nmap 127.0.0.1 [00:22] grekkos, you can probe from the other computer, and can connect any firewalls that actively drop connections [00:22] grekkos: sudo apt-get install nmap [00:22] edbian: this machine is mac os x but I can try macports, hold on [00:22] grekkos: Start service, and scan server, also add ssh sever so if you get 22 open and other closed you know where is problem [00:22] grekkos, rather nmap can detect firewalls that actively drop [00:23] I really appreciate everyone's help, by the way [00:23] hi Getting very tired of reinstalling natty on a laptop... Is there any way to sort out MISALIGNED partition without reinstalling? [00:23] hi. do you think ubuntu is realy for someone's grandparents [00:23] qin: well actually I can connect on port 22, I'm sshed in right now [00:23] yes it really is [00:23] excognac, gparted on the livecd can move the partitions [00:24] lucky me, nmap doesn't have many dependencies [00:24] grekkos: So, iptables -L and have a look what is there. [00:24] qin: pretty much nothing, everything says ACCEPT [00:24] qin: does that mean this is not a software firewall issue? [00:24] I've just installed Ubuntu for the first time (11.04) coming from Windows......and I just thought I'd ask - does it take long to get used to the interface? [00:24] grekkos: Also, netstat -tulp on server to see if service is listening [00:25] howoriginalAU: as long as in windows [00:25] qin: well the broader scope of this issue is that I'm trying to run hlds (half life dedicated server) and HLDS is saying it cannot open the socket [00:25] howoriginalAU: The new interface is very new for everybody. I don't think it takes long to get used to. The CLI takes long to get used to. [00:25] edbian: oh I see. CLI is command line is it? [00:25] how do you check if it is xv in mplayer? [00:25] howoriginalAU: yep [00:25] does ubuntu work out-of-the-box with any modem? e.g. a mobile-broadband modem [00:25] grekkos, are you behind a nat [00:25] i tried doing the help command but it\s not working [00:26] tactical2: depending on the modem [00:26] escott: I am behind a router which I've already configured to allow the ports [00:26] grekkos: What sound like lack of permissions [00:27] qin: permissions on the server to create a socket connection? [00:27] hey you guys, im testing if i can write to a file from terminal, and i can; however, when i try to write a newline into a file, it doesnt work, its writes everything one one line ...whats up with this? echo "line1 \n line2" >> testlines.txt [00:27] qin: right now I created a new user to run the server but I haven't changed its permissions at all [00:27] Hi. [00:27] hexacode, echo -e [00:28] hexacode: or add another blank echo >> file [00:28] guys I have a current video problem where my videos no matter which ones I played would always appear over my windows or other app(s) and menus [00:28] oh wow lol [00:28] I'm trying to get flash to play @ 360p with no video lag, is this possible with 1ghz Duron and 768MB ram. [00:28] hexacode: echo -e will evaluate any escape sequences like \t and \n [00:28] Jaded: yes [00:28] escott didnt think i had to supply an argument for that lol, oh well, kind of a wierd implementation [00:28] ok [00:28] Jaded: i am using it on a celeron 900 with 512mb ram [00:28] does anyone know whats wrong? [00:28] qin: nmap doesn't seem to be having much luck either (internally) [00:29] I installed Xubuntu, setup the nvidia drivers and it still lags during video playback in both firefox and chromium [00:29] Jaded [00:29] flash player? [00:29] um, adobe flash player [00:29] would sending a screen shot help you guys solve my problem? [00:30] iLuvGirlz, were you able to confirm if it was xv? [00:30] i coulnt [00:30] Jaded, i sometimes get crashes, you think its a bug? [00:30] i have mplayer here [00:30] just when I type the command nothing happens [00:30] iLuvGirlz, try mplayer -vo x11 somefile.mov [00:30] flash player sucks on linux [00:30] mhmm [00:30] how old are the girls you love? [00:31] I'm dual booting with XP [00:31] I can SSH into my server just fine. SSHFS is giving "Connection Reset by Peer" error. Not sure whats up [00:31] qin: escott the message I get from HLDS looks osmething like this, while not a standard OS message maybe you guys can make sense of the verbage: FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Couldn't allocate dedicated server IP port 27015. [00:32] alright i got this MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team [00:32] mplayer: could not connect to socket [00:32] mplayer: No such file or directory [00:32] Failed to open LIRC support.

[00:32] iLuvGirlz: the file doesn't exist [00:32] iLuvGirlz, you have to cd into the folder with the video [00:33] lol i know someone who got his forum hacked by someone who told him it would be nice to have a page that teaches people how to echo their user agent with php. he did, and then the hacker changed his user agent header to a file upload onto the server lol === omichalek is now known as cecko [00:33] what crashes are you getting hexacode? === cecko is now known as omichalek === omichalek is now known as bng [00:33] Jaded chromium browser mainly, shockwave player crash, and sometimes it just stays blacked out [00:34] Jaded, i have better luck with firefox and flash player than i do with chromium [00:34] grekkos, thats not terribly helpful. you might try and see if you can get telnetd to bind on that port [00:34] how would I do that lol? i am new to this [00:34] iLuvGirlz, what kind of girls do you love [00:34] chromiums implementation of flash is defninitely buggy, im not sure about firefox...actually, i remember an older version of firefox crashing [00:35] the ones with pretty eyes [00:35] and a good mind [00:35] Jaded, what version of firefox are you using [00:35] iLuvGirlz, your name sounds criminal [00:35] it is [00:35] well it was until now [00:35] how old are you? [00:35] underaged [00:36] iLuvGirlz: what about vlc instead of mplayer? [00:36] yes i have vlc [00:37] same thing happens the video appears blocking my chat with you guys right now [00:37] escott: here's a little bit better message maybe, which says essentially the same (again from HLDS) WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: port: 27015 bind: Cannot assign requested address [00:37] iceroot, the point of mplayer was to control the output format to x11 and not xv to identify a possible xv problem [00:37] escott: i'm taking a look at telnetd now [00:37] escott: ok [00:37] hey you guys, what books should i read in order to better understand the unix operating system and how it manages resources and manages devices and their input and output? i want to be able to program and use the hardware, but i lack in the necessary programming skills, i can do much with software, but im not sure how to program with my hardware [00:37] would a screenshot help? [00:38] hexacode, why not just use windows [00:38] you [00:38] hi all, anyone here has experience with virtualization? Is Intel's VT-d dependent upon motherboard support? [00:38] hexacode: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ [00:38] hey can anyone give me a good curlpaste alternative for ubuntu? something in apt would be convenient [00:38] tactical2 i want to program better...ive been wanting to do soe programming with images and sound formats, but i have no idea how to take microphone input and output raw sound to a speaker [00:38] thanks iceroot, im goiing to bookmark that [00:39] hexacode: with that book you lean a lot about the kernel and other hardcore stuff [00:39] iLuvGirlz, when you open a terminal it puts you in /home/username. you need to cd /path/to/your/video/file then mplayer -vo x11 yourfilename.avi [00:39] grekkos: You there [00:39] ? [00:40] Audacity doesn't pick any mic input up. The sound goes straight through to my system's speakers, but Audacity is missing it somehow. [00:40] alright [00:40] qin: yes [00:42] grekkos: ok, sudo nc -l 27015 (so this we noe know), but since that is hl problem, need a bit more time. === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [00:43] my firefox is 3.6.17 [00:43] qin: ah, that worked now [00:43] qin: I listened with nc and probed it with nmap [00:43] Is there any way to install GNOME without all the unneeded crap? [00:43] qin: internally it shows as open, I'm going to do one external to just to check [00:43] (like the games, the media players, all of that) [00:44] qin: okay so it is having issues connecting from the outside [00:44] TheLifelessOne: GNOME comes with software, just like KDE. The "GNOME desktop" package comes with that default software. No way to get around it IIRC. Same with KDE. It comes with crap. [00:44] qin: it's possible HL is giving an error because the serverlist servers can't connect to me, let me see if I can get nmap to connect with the outside ip [00:45] Starminn, seriously? I just want GNOME. :( [00:45] Oh well. Thanks anyways. :/ [00:45] thanks so much iceroot....i actually downloaded this book before u showed me that http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Operating-Systems-Andrew-Tanenbaum/dp/0136006639/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308267943&sr=8-1 [00:46] i dont thin its what i wanted lol [00:46] qin: hmm, the ports are open on the router but it still won't go through... [00:47] i have gotten no luck [00:47] it keeps saying it does not exsist [00:48] hexacode: andrew-tanenbaum is imo the guru for things like that [00:48] /home/ray/Videos/Season_1/-vo x11 TRHS01E01.avibash: /home/ray/Videos/Season_1/-vo: No such file or directory [00:48] anyone use mldonkey ?

How do I do it? [01:00] even the menu would be covered [01:00] israel: I need to restore users/groups from another config [01:01] no one can help me =( [01:01] iLuvGirlz: THat is a problem with flash. I have it too. I have never found a solution for it.

I have a formatter function but I'm not sure how to format the data and then where to find it in onCellMouseOver and onClick call [01:02] how to to remove 3rd party video codecs? [01:02] I tried to add an object but it looks like the grid only accepts strings. [01:02] maybe its conflicting with the orginal ones [01:02] iLuvGirlz: How did you install them? [01:03] remove them [01:03] i believe i installed more video codecs which are conflicting with each other [01:03] iLuvGirlz: but how did you install them? [01:03] thats why the video is appearing over/ on top of my apps [01:03] through the termial using commands i got on a website [01:03] the sudo etc u know [01:04] iLuvGirlz: Well I can only help you if you find the site. [01:04] oh this one [01:04] iLuvGirlz: And it shouldn't be a codec conflict. [01:04] qin: yeah I already tried the debug flag, nothing shows up [01:04] http://haflpastgeek.com/9-essential-things-you-should-do-after-installing-ubuntu-11-04-%E2%80%9Cnatty-narwhal%E2%80%9D.html [01:04] iLuvGirlz, if your nickname were less offensive and you bothered to respond to people by name you might get more help [01:04] go all the way down to VLC codec [01:04] caseys: it's a duron 1ghz [01:05] Him being heterosexual is offensive?

[01:06] jqpzen that is hard :P [01:06] all three of them [01:06] i installed all three of those VLC codecs [01:06] if i remove those it would fix my problem [01:06] i believe [01:06] jaded: have you tried installing the lasest driver [01:06] iLuvGirlz: The codecs are fine. PPAs aren't supported here. The PPA could be the problem. [01:06] caseys: You just add function, so you will get minutes and soconds. [01:06] That's what she said, [01:07] how do i remove the PPA? [01:07] you can remove those the same way you installed them if you got them from the repos with apt-get [01:07] but girls dont get hard! [01:07] sudo apt-get remove [01:07] wait...\ [01:07] And with that comment, so ends my help to you. [01:07] noooo! [01:08] how do you remove PPA?

[01:11] grekkos: Nice. [01:11] qin: well actually I take that back, that alloed nmap to connect to nc but now the server itself still does not work [01:12] excognac, can you say that more clearly a non existing partition? [01:12] grekkos: You need to make sure that all hl threads are down. [01:12] qin: when i do ps aux|grep hld nothing comes up [01:12] qin: except for grep...

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [01:14] grekkos: What is err now? [01:15] qin: same error from HLDS, only now I can connect nmap to nc if I listen [01:15] Appropriate, save a video file to your home folder. open a terminal and type: "mplayer -vo x11 the_video_file_name.avi" then try "mplayer -vo xv the_video_file_name.avi" I suspect the first will work the second will be broken [01:15] qin: using the outside ip [01:15] Is there a way to get aptitude to ignore non-existant packages when trying to install multiple packages from the command line? [01:15] cdavis_, be careful with the settings its possible to break unity [01:15] Im not sure if anyone else uses Deluge, but does it always have to re-check files after a reboot, or is there a way to turn that off?

I think it's still 32bit though [01:17] cdavis_, but as long as the compositer is running your video is being redirected which might be the source of the choppiness [01:17] grekkos: Try to have own server by then ;) [01:18] qin: well this is my server ;p [01:18] hi [01:18] lol [01:18] qin: I might just try installing a 32bit vm if I can't get it working [01:18] grekkos: Can you paste err once more [01:18] I seem to be hitting a wall here.

[01:22] LinuxPythonPeter: alternatively OpenArena (the same game but with free assets) [01:22] LinuxPythonPeter: software center probably has OA [01:22] LinuxPythonPeter: Urban Terror [01:22] ok [01:23] Just a question, but how do i get back to the #ubuntu tab after switching to firefox/chrome [01:23] Jaded: well the composite extension is required for compiz, if you have that running it's loaded (or any other type of desktop compositing) [01:23] LinuxPythonPeter: what IRC client are you using?

I dont need you to tell me that [01:33] hi all...have something a little weird...my keyboard at logon is has a different time to register than once i'm logged in.. [01:33] just restart and press f1 and load it from bios or whatever [01:33] no [01:33] that is to say that i have to press and hold until it registers, but once logged in is fine.. [01:33] why not? thats what you have to do anyway [01:33] it says that wubildr.mbr is corrupted [01:34] try redownloading and then reburning [01:34] happened once before with natty beta, but when i reinstalled the official release it was fine..up until a couple of updates ago.. [01:34] any ideas? [01:34] I had to download 3 times b it worked [01:34] im not burning. I installed wubi to a USB removable hard drive [01:34] whats ur problem Cuch? [01:34] ahh, ok. [01:34] Well try again anyway [01:34] redownload and retry [01:35] if that doesnt work try burning [01:35] redownload ubuntu, or wubi? [01:35] Try wubi, and then Ubuntu if that doesnt work [01:35] ok [01:35] Wait, no dont redownload ubuntu yet [01:35] just wubi [01:36] LinuxPythonPeter, the keyboard isn't as responsive at the logon screen...takes about a 1/2 sec press to get the key to register, but once logged in is fine.. [01:36] Atomix26, the regular download has a wubi installer in it. Putting it on a external is a bad idea though. [01:36] LinuxPythonPeter, was working fine, then a couple of updates ago.. [01:36] why? [01:37] Atomix26, wubi is a file in windows that is where it should be if you want ease of use. [01:37] so install to the C: drive instead? [01:37] Atomix26, yes === dad_ is now known as Guest54146 [01:37] ok. [01:38] u there CUCH? [01:39] is there a way to go about starting vino-server for another user's x session? sadly although remote desktop is enabled in system->preferences->remotedesktop, vino-server is not running for some reason [01:39] I am not quite familiar with X auth juju [01:40] how can I do this :use a Dynamic DNS record that resolves to my WAN IP, but have the DNS resolve to the internal MythPodcaster host IP from inside the network [01:41] rileyp: you forward the port from the external ip to the internal ip [01:42] rileyp: or if you are running an internal network, you can add the mythpodcaster ip to the hosts file on each internal workstation [01:42] internal dns proxy that fakes authority for the dyndns provider and resolves your dyndns name to the internal ip [01:43] use bind for a [01:43] vandemar: obviously you are a top down programmer....while I am a bottom up programmer [01:44] rileyp: or if you are running an internal network, you can add the mythpodcaster ip to the hosts file on each internal workstation I have done this [01:44] th0r is right .. for the external world, but vandemar is right for the internal users .. they need to see a working external official domain? [01:46] th0r> rileyp: you forward the port from the external ip to the internal ip I have a billion dsl modem/router and I port forward 80 to the server ip [01:46] so rileyp if u dont want to access an ip-number as domain you have to setup an internal dns-server .. to intercept request to your dyndns domain that points to your internal address [01:46] How would I get rid of my computer asking which OS to load? I would like to get my computer back to the way it was until my father who works with unix/linux for a living gets in here to get things working better [01:47] ^ hahaha [01:47] that is .. your dns is authoritive for internal requests [01:47] ? [01:47] It's just cool that you made it to irc [01:47] huh? [01:47] Atomix26, /etc/default/grub and you can adjust the timeouts, just update-grub afterwards [01:48] why might my livedcd refuse to use eth0? [01:48] Whoa whoa whoa [01:48] I have no clue what either of you are talking about [01:49] ubuntu does not work on my machine [01:49] plus1more, http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/issues/detail?id=28#c14 thi si what I was told but do not understand it precisely [01:49] does anyone use mldonkey, or can anyone recommend a good p2p client [01:49] hello [01:49] Good bye [01:49] Atomix26, wait [01:50] Atomix26, I know how I can help you and it's easy [01:50] how do you make compiz permanent? [01:50] I have asked in networking but no one responds.... 3 or more reponses here go figure... :D [01:50] Which would be? I cannot get on the computer at the moment. T-storm. I am working from my laptop(which I do not want ubuntu on) [01:51] test first time using xchat on ubuntu [01:51] so rileyp if u dont want to access an ip-number as domain you have to setup an internal dns-server .. to intercept request to your dyndns domain that points to your internal address [01:51] Problems: are you using a livecd? [01:51] perl works . python works. php works. because html sucks : ))) [01:51] Me? [01:51] so On my router I add the dns name and ip of my server in the dns list [01:51] Atomix26, Welcome to the internet [01:51] davidrsmorris_: no i am using full desktop version [01:52] Atomix26, what's your problem? [01:52] Can I PM you? [01:52] plus1more so On my router I add the dns name and ip of my server in the dns list [01:52] your questions might be answered easier if you ask in here, but i don't mind [01:53] Problems: And you're setting up compiz, but you lose those settings when you restart, or when you logout and login? [01:53] rileyp: sry mate .. wrong chan [01:53] vandemar internal dns proxy that fakes authority for the dyndns provider and resolves your dyndns name to the internal ip How do I do that? [01:53] davidrsmorris_: yes [01:54] anyway, theres no easy solution .. you'll have to install "bind" and configure it accordingly .. no easy task .. but simple .. go figure [01:54] plus1more come to to #networking Ill make it easy for you /join #networking :D === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [01:54] Problems: see if its when you log out and in, or when you restart. === Go is now known as Guest77237 [01:55] In Ubuntu 10.10, Audacity is not picking up any external sound inout. Whatever I play is just relayed over my system speakers -- Audacity doesn't even know it's there. [01:55] Problems: are you using compiz --replace? [01:55] davidrsmorris_: when i log in and log out [01:55] rileyp: furthermoe you will have to point all your internal clients that want to resolve the domain("dyndns:domain) that external people can use to an internal ip-adress say 192.168.1.117 ... unless you want to run out of the house everytime to access it fromt he "outside" :P [01:56] davidrsmorris_: thats what I dont want to use because it just reverts after that [01:56] to your internal dns bind server [01:57] rileyp, if the port is forwarded things will still work it will just go A->router-(realize its router to itself)->router-(forward)->B [01:57] rileyp: basically you hijack dns request from internal clients. [01:57] Problems: Gnome-sessions. THere's a dropdown box on the login screen. [01:57] rileyp, so don't even bother enabling a dns to override the dyndns. as a bonus you get to double check your dyndns is working [01:58] davidrsmorris_: yes which one do I pick? [01:58] escott: wrong [01:59] escott: it is wrong because "domain-from-dyndns" will resolve to IP adress of router-wan-port .. so he just sees his router login page [01:59] My router (a linksys wrt54gl) does the dyndns for me, but you can use ez-ipupdate to link your IP with many dynamic dns providers... [02:00] escott> rileyp, so don't even bother enabling a dns to override the dyndns. as a bonus you get to double check your dyndns is working this is what I thought It just going to my dndns address and its send me back to my wan ip which then sends me onto my servers ip [02:00] escot is that correct [02:01] hi, I have a 500GB hard drive in my system, I was wondering, if I add another 500GB, can I set it up in a RAID1 with the first without erasing the data already on the first? [02:01] You need to set up port forwarding on your router then, most likely. Just be aware you cannot access your own system by domain name. [02:01] I just installed syncevolution with sudo apt-get. I'd like to install genesis_sync, a GUI front end for syncevolution. It's in a PPA. I've successfully done the add-apt-repository and the apt-get update. The program doesn't appear to be on my system. Is there something else that I must do? [02:01] rileyp: you cannot rely on an external dns-server to find your service (whatever port) that is running inside your network. you have to mirror the response from the outside dns-server by hijacking the dns request from internal networks, by setting up an autoritive dns server internally for the domains you want to "hijack" .. interally is the word [02:01] If hes trying to give internal users a different IP for an external domain its as easy as pointing lan users to a local dns and setting an A record for that domain to a local IP [02:01] plus1more, disagrees. but that would be my expectation. go out to dyndns and get directed to your wan ip. try to connect to your wan ip the router realizes thats not on the inside side of the network and sends it to the wan which sends it right back which forwards to your internal address === Lucifer is now known as Guest90761 [02:02] The-Kernel, yes see tutorials on raid conversion === Guest90761 is now known as _Lucifer [02:03] escott: i'm sorry .. i complained ... my router is shi1tty : P [02:03] jgpzen, ie adding to /etc/hosts [02:04] hey guys. currently running softraid. i'll be getting an SSD in a few weeks. wanted to move the OS to the SSD, /home on RAID. any known tutorials? [02:07] plus1more do I go fing out about interally? [02:07] find out sorry [02:07] plus1more, rileyp not overriding dns works perfectly on mine. I just get reflected back so it looks like I am coming from my routers WAN [02:07] plus1more, install tomato if you can [02:07] rileyp: simple yes: your service is 192.168.0.10:port:x . your dyndns domain is example.com. you forward your port:x from router to 192.168.0.10 <. everythings good. but if u typ exmaple.com as adress on internal machine it doesnt work. you need to setup an internal dns-server that authoritive for 192.168.0.10 that sya: 192.168.0.10 IS example.com and tell all your INTERNAL machines to use that. [02:09] ..use that internal dns-server .. [02:09] plus1more you are a champion thankyou [02:09] ubuntu i hate you :( [02:09] now to cut and paste todays help.... [02:09] Jaded: why ? [02:09] the dns server software is called "bind" ... a step-up more complicated "host.txt" [02:10] is there any one here that can help out a wubi user? [02:10] plus1more, So I could run bind on my server? [02:10] rileyp: thank you .. and thank you : ))) [02:10] more speficially Atomix26, he's having trouble with wubi, and i can't say i've ever used it [02:10] billybigrigger: what exactly your problem with wubi ? [02:11] blackshirt, not me [02:11] i'm trying to help him but i haven't ever used wubi, i was hoping someone could help him, i tried, but i just don't know anything about it [02:12] billybigrigger: i think you can advice him to dual boot [02:12] Ukto: There's also ubitex.org, for buying with cash [02:12] eh, wrong window [02:13] yeah, that is rather undesirable [02:14] because I keep getting crazy high CPU use [02:14] Jaded: have you check running process ?? [02:15] yes [02:15] looks pretty normal, except the system monitor is using about 30% [02:16] Jaded: have you install some program from another repo's or maybe somebug on your app [02:18] What file system is the safest to use? That is, contains the most features to guarentee as little data loss as possible due to some kind of malfunction? [02:19] supercom32, what do you use the system for? [02:19] there's nothing wrong with ext4 [02:20] supercom32, i haven't had to much trouble with it on my servers, for my home fileserver i ran with xfs for a bit on an archlinux install...but i always end up falling back on ubuntu and ext4 [02:20] well ext3/4 i guess since it's fairly new [02:20] but stable and mature enough [02:20] billybigrigger: Just large files (10gb+) and I want to try and guarantee some kind of integrity. Like in the event of a hard power off, or unsafe unplug, which FS will survive the best? === Lukosanthropos is now known as LukosAnth[Away] [02:21] supercom32, well then your going to want a journaling fs [02:21] supercom32, with a file that large you want something with extents but checksums would also be nice. ext4 has extents, but I don't think it has checksums [02:22] escott: Forgive the newbie question, but what are extents exactly/ [02:22] supercom32, ext4 is the way to go man [02:22] supercom32, instead of saying file is in block 1,2,3,4,5... it says file is in blocks range 1-100 [02:23] escott: oh, yes. Right right. [02:23] i don't know what's going on..... [02:24] Ah apparently ext4 does have checksums [02:24] Hi im new to ubuntu i installed ubuntu 11.04 on my pc as the solitary os. The partitions are sda1 as the primary and then sda5 as the swap. I read that Im supposed to have a seperate partition for home or my data in case i have to reinstall. How do I do that? Thank you... [02:24] supercom32, i think its just the journal being checksummed not the files [02:24] Jaded : i think there are someone here can help you... [02:26] escott: Does btrfs checksum files? [02:26] reinstall for linux? [02:26] noobuntu, you really need to set that up during your install [02:26] supercom32: it checksums blocks, you can also turn that feature off if you really want to [02:26] supercom32, feature-wise i think btrfs sounds best for large files like that, but its still in development [02:27] billy, thx, I was thinking that when I was installing with the live cd but had no idea how to partition in the advanced options... [02:27] noobuntu, how long have you had your system installed? ie if you don't have to much going on with it right now we can walk through how to setup your partitions so that later down the road in weeks/months/years it will save you alot of hassle in dealing with backing stuff up and transferring files [02:27] if you have a decent system a reinstall should only take a few minutes... [02:27] and its not much of a hassle to do it now, properly [02:27] thx billy. honestly, my stuff is all backed up. Ive been playing with ubuntu and mint for the last week so, I can reinstall. [02:28] ok [02:28] how big is your hard drive? [02:28] it is 250gb [02:28] how much ram? [02:29] 4 [02:29] do you play around with kernel compiling? [02:29] supercom32, just dont use ext3 and i think its fine. [02:30] supercom32, stick with ext4 :) [02:30] nope, im brand new to linux and barely know the sudo apt commands [02:30] billybigrigger: Does ext4 have backup superblocks/journals in case the main one gets corrupt? [02:30] yes [02:30] if you'd like to know, google is switching from ext2 to ext4, they weighed out all the options for FS's and they've decided that over xfs, ext4 is the way to go...for them... [02:31] supercom32, read wikipedia :P [02:31] ext4 is a journaling FS yes... [02:31] supercom32, yes at least one you can configure it to have others (just write down the address of the backup superblock) [02:31] Sup guys [02:31] i see. [02:31] Is the nvdia bug fixed on the latest ubuntu? [02:31] noobuntu, ok, if your not compiling/playing with kernels its easy then... [02:31] ive heard nvdia cards had a bug [02:31] and to stay away from upgrade :) [02:31] supercom32, there is not a backup journal though. if you are this worried you should have a backup disk not just a backup journal [02:31] noobuntu, 2GB swap, 20GB / (root partition) and allocate the rest to /home [02:31] billybigrigger, cool [02:32] noobuntu, use the filesystem of choice...i suggest ext4 :P [02:32] noobuntu, if you were a kernel junkie we could set you up with a 500MB /boot partition but that's unneeded [02:32] billybigrigger, so this can be done easily with the livecd? [02:32] noobuntu, yes on a re-install [02:33] escott: Yes, I really should just be doing a traditional backup :P [02:33] so anyone with ideas with the new ubuntu? with the nvidia issues? [02:33] curious if i can upgrade or not [02:33] you'll need to do advanced partitioning though, i can't remember the option, but DON'T let ubuntu partition for you [02:33] billybigrigger, ok i will give that a try. i made a apt to cd disk. what directories should I be backing up so I can reinstall preferences and settings easily [02:34] noobuntu, your /home :) [02:34] billybigrigger, yup, figured that one :) [02:34] hi [02:34] thats why if your /home is on a separate partition, you can switch between, ubuntu/debian/fedora/mint, and keep the same /home partition, with all your setttings and preferences... [02:34] What would be the easeist way to reinstall Ubuntu 10.04 that is dual booted with GRUB2? [02:34] with windows 7 [02:35] can I just delete the partition /sda5 I believe and reinstal on the freespace? or does that mess up GRUB? [02:35] you just format your root partition and install your distribution of choice, keeping in tact your /home...and away you go [02:35] that wont mess with windows? [02:35] FAT32? [02:35] toad`, it might, if /sda5 is your windows partition [02:35] no [02:35] its the Ubuntu partition [02:35] you need to be a bit more specific of your questions [02:35] I have it installed [02:36] Well this has all stemmed from NetworkManager disappearing after I installed Arping [02:36] so I have no networkmanager, cant get online. I cant figure out how to reconfig ifconfig or whatever it is I need to reconfig. so I figured I'd just reinstal. [02:36] or can I instal packages straight from the LiveCD? [02:37] nope [02:37] does anyone here use mldonkey/can anyone recommend a debian p2p client? [02:37] hrm [02:37] for a new linux user, is it best to start off as mint or stay with ubuntu [02:37] so right I'm just thinking a fresh instal would be easier [02:37] noobuntu, whatever your more comfortable with [02:37] so should I delete the original Ubuntu partition? [02:38] toad`, just reinstall over it [02:38] over it? [02:38] thats what I'd like to do [02:38] but in order to do that dont I have to delete that partition? thats the only option i can see that would do anythign like that [02:38] billybigrigger, i liked the mint design, but I cant find a good livecd install and the unetbootin only has the mint9 available [02:38] noobuntu, stick with ubuntu === Joel is now known as Guest59707 [02:39] you can customize and make any distribution look however you want it [02:40] noobuntu, unetbootin has an option to use an ISO you have downloaded (the "mint9" option just downloads for you) so you can use pretty much any gnu/linux distro you want [02:40] i like the looks of Mint too [02:40] how do you get your bar to look like mints? is there a style/skin for it? [02:40] theme rather [02:40] but anyway, back to reinstalling [02:41] someone help me out real quick [02:41] can someone help me with my webcam and skype.. It wont work for skype, but it works on cheese. [02:41] toad: you can install mint theme on ubuntu :d [02:41] ok cool [02:41] I need to figure out how to reinstall [02:42] SubCool, you dont get any video in skype? can you select the camera in skype? [02:42] do I select partitions? or 'install them side by side'? [02:42] zykotic9, when I tried unet to create a mint11 cd, it asked for the mounting point and i did not know how to select that [02:42] toad: what are you doing reinstall for ? [02:42] cause NetworkManager dissappeared or stopped working thanks to Arping in 10.04 [02:42] escott, there is only one option in skype.. And no- no video. [02:42] so I figured instead of messing around wiht that seeing as how it was almost a fresh instal already I figured I would just reinstall [02:43] SubCool, you could try using LD_PRELOAD to force skype to use v4l2 library it might work [02:44] blackshirt, what should I do [02:44] SubCool #!/bin/bash \n export LIBV4LCONTROL_FLAGS=3 \n LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype [02:44] i saw that on the fix list on one of the forums.. it didnt work [02:44] do I specify partitions manually and delete the partition that has Ubuntu on it already? [02:44] but ill try it.. [02:44] isnt that the script? [02:44] SubCool, if you are 32bit install it would be /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib32 [02:44] toad: if you want reinstall network-manager, you can reinstall it with apt or package manager [02:45] i cant get online [02:45] so only the LD_PRELOAD line? or the entire script [02:45] can I apt and get from the LiveCD? [02:45] was wondering what is a ppa really? [02:45] DigitalSkin: third-party repository [02:45] toad`: yes [02:45] SubCool, im honestly not sure what the V4L control flags do. try it without, then try it with [02:46] i just did it- it worked.. [02:46] is it possible to encrypt tmpfs? [02:46] well thats what I was asking before [02:46] and ppl said no [02:46] that would fix all my problems really and I wouldnt have to worry bout reinstalling [02:46] toad`: what are you trying to do ? i just go there? [02:46] escott, where do i put the script [02:46] hi [02:46] I need NetworkManager [02:46] lol [02:47] or to reinstall Ubuntu and delete the original partition [02:47] SubCool, ~/bin is a good place [02:47] how to setup an intuos 3 on a dual screen on ubuntu [02:47] install wpa_supplicant that will manage the fuck out of your network [02:47] just install the drivers zelrick [02:47] toad: you can alternate cd... [02:47] I'm not sure about the intuos 3 but my intuos4 installed fairly easily [02:47] escott, ok- what do i name it? [02:47] skype? [02:48] is there drivers for intuos? [02:48] SubCool, i called my skype-fixed.sh if you just call it skype double check that $HOME/bin comes first in your $PATH [02:48] yeah [02:48] go to wacom.com [02:48] toad: use alternate cd [02:48] their customer service will hook you up they are really good bout helping folks [02:48] waht do you mean blackshirt ? [02:48] SubCool, and don't forget to chmod +x the file [02:48] I have a liveCD [02:48] how would I get that package off? network-manager gnome [02:48] or somethign [02:49] toad: live cd contain squashfs filesystem..not exactly .deb packages [02:49] escott, thanks alot- i shoulda known. [02:49] SubCool, enjoy [02:49] toad: you can download it manually from packages.ubuntu.com [02:49] lol [02:49] no I cant [02:49] I cant get ONLINE! [02:50] do you mean use the LiveCD and download frmo there? can I instal it using the LiveCD? [02:50] or should I just download and stick it in the filesystem? [02:50] would that work? [02:50] ok so the drivers are already installed [02:50] toad: are you have alternate ubuntu cd or dvd ?? [02:50] I have a LiveCD [02:50] dvd [02:50] whatever itr is === Guest10086 is now known as dvz- [02:50] I have one I burned myself and one Ubuntu sent me [02:50] my tablet pad covers only 1/2 of the screen [02:50] lol [02:50] and 1/4 when I try to configure it [02:50] you need to change the thing [02:51] toad`, is network manager still installed? [02:51] NO [02:51] its pcakage is completely gone [02:51] after installing Arping [02:51] apparently their is a conflict in 10.04 [02:51] toad`, is the nm package still in /var/cache/apt [02:51] toad: if you have ubuntu dvd's, i think you can use it to install from [02:51] it removed it after it installed which was strange, I didnt really notice at first [02:51] I tried that escott :P [02:51] install the package? [02:52] toad`, boot the livecd chroot yourself in, then install nm [02:53] can mplayer play flv files? [02:53] I can install it to the filesystem? from the LiveCD? [02:53] also what are the main differneces between mplaye rand mplayer2 [02:53] do I install it straight from the CD? or do I need to download it? [02:53] toad`, are you familiar with a chroot? [02:53] what's a spam filter i can use with mutt email client? [02:53] no [02:54] toad`, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot (its for grub but the principle is the same). gives you access to your system but using the livecds to provide the basic system [02:54] http://bensimonds.com/2011/05/25/setting-up-dual-monitors-with-a-wacom-tablet-on-ubuntu-11-04/ doesnt work :( === tum is now known as Guest62874 [02:54] is there a command to update the kernel? [02:55] yes - rebuild it [02:55] how do I configure an intuos 3 on a dual screen? [02:55] if previous part of it are there it will use those, if they are different it will rewrite them [02:56] is there a command line tool to burn DVDs? [02:56] (just want a filesystem, not DVD video or anything) [02:56] hdon-, growisofs [02:56] hdon-: yes lots of them google it [02:56] hdon-, wodim [02:56] ZykoticK9_, thanks [02:56] escott, thanks [02:56] cryptopsy, google "gratitude" [02:56] hdon-: what's that supposed to mean, that you're mad and lazy? [02:58] so anyone have any insight into my issue? [02:58] In Ubuntu 10.10, Audacity is not picking up any external sound inout. Whatever I play is just relayed over my system speakers -- Audacity doesn't even know it's there. [02:58] hmm [02:58] Cuchulainn: i joined after you asked, what was it? [02:58] that s weird [02:58] escott, [02:58] is this what I need tho? [02:58] xandr only lists one monitor [02:58] I dont need to reinstall GRUB [02:58] I need NetworkManager [02:58] heh [02:58] toad`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:58] and I have 2 [02:59] Starminn: check if alsamixer has a default sound device set with alsamixer then press f6 [02:59] cryptopsy, at logon, the keyboard has a lag...1/2 second or so...have to press and hold to get the key to register... [02:59] cryptopsy, seems like a perfectly reasonable response. not everyone would know what to search for. i didnt realize until yesterday that cdrecord had been renamed to wodim [02:59] cryptopsy, is fine once i'm logged in...happened once before w/ natty beta... [03:00] escott: command line burning linux [03:00] done. [03:00] cryptopsy, happened again with updates..? [03:00] toad`, follow the chroot up to the grub-install then try apt-get install network-manager instead [03:00] Cuchulainn: it could be due to many things but you can investigate by checking your kernel logs to see if its don't something in a loop that it shouldnt, or monitor disk IO [03:01] cryptopsy, is on netbook, so probably not like os/2 style interrupt, but more like usb? [03:01] Cuchulainn: oh you're running from a usb stick? [03:01] yea that would do it [03:01] cryptopsy, so how to check kernel log, and what am i looking for? [03:01] Cuchulainn: just type dmesg [03:01] cryptopsy, no, full install.. [03:02] Cuchulainn: yea but what did you full install on [03:02] Hello everyone [03:02] Cuchulainn: you can full install on a usb stick or you can use the usb installation on a hardrive [03:02] FlashSmith: hi [03:02] cryptopsy,HD, MSI u100 "windbook" [03:02] no one knows what that is [03:03] hi, how can i know which version of postgresql i have? [03:03] xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos3 6x8" MapToOutput defaultUnknown parameter name 'MapToOutput' [03:03] cryptopsy, dmesg | grep ? [03:03] is there a command to update the kernel? [03:03] I havve heard about Ubuntu, and I was thinking of using/trying it, but I'm not sure [03:03] JoeR1, why do you want to update? [03:03] Cuchulainn: we don't really have a guess waht the problem is so you can't grep [03:03] FlashSmith, They have a try without installing feature on the cd [03:03] Cuchulainn: dmesg |more [03:04] CD? [03:04] Cuchulainn: pastebin it if you want other people ot help you look [03:04] when looking at problems thats say stuff about graphs how should i start these problem [03:04] pastebin.com [03:04] I'm not sure how to do either [03:04] escott - just hoping to be at the most recent version, so is there a command? [03:04] like inflection points etc [03:04] cryptopsy, atkbd might be a suspect? [03:04] atkbd what [03:04] do I have to find several points and graph all these problems? [03:04] cryptopsy, ok, walk me through pastebin..never used.. [03:04] copy and paste [03:05] then press 'upload' [03:05] or whatever it says [03:05] there's many pastebins [03:05] How would I try Ubuntu without installing? [03:05] actually ... [03:05] cryptopsy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:05] livecd [03:05] grrr [03:05] JoeR1, not really. they settle on a version. stabilize and test it, and then give smaller bug fixes. you could install a vanilla kernel from the ubuntu kernel group, but without a reason (like this device driver doesn't work) you are just asking for things to break [03:05] Cuchulainn: go to ompldr.org and upload 'dmesg >myfile' [03:05] nothing works [03:05] Cuchulainn: then paste the link it gives you here [03:05] it will be a direct link to your file [03:05] [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset [03:05] [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu [03:05] [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.38-8-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 (Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2) [03:05] [ 0.000000] Atom PSE erratum detected, BIOS microcode update recommended [03:05] [ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map: [03:05] Cuchulainn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:05] flashsmith - put the cd in before boot and ther is an optrion to boot live cd or something [03:05] FlashSmith: order a free cd [03:06] you can install it on disposable things like usb sticks or cd roms [03:06] but you always have to do some kind of installation [03:06] unetbootin will do it automatically for you [03:06] How would I order a free CD? I thought you had to buy a CD? [03:06] flashmith no you can download ubuntu for free its free [03:06] FlashSmith: oh maybe they stopped offering that [03:06] cryptopsy: shipit is off [03:06] cryptopsy: they did [03:06] Wait what do you mean somekind of installation? [03:06] !shipit [03:06] Canonical is no longer sending free Ubuntu CDs to individuals through its ShipIt program. For more information please see http://blog.canonical.com/?p=551 !LoCo teams can request CDs through this link https://forms.canonical.com/lococd/ [03:06] cryptopsy, thanks...sorry...try to learn... [03:06] maco: i remember you [03:06] cryptopsy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/628241/ [03:07] Cuchulainn: okay now share that with people that want to look at it [03:07] FlashSmith: you can just burn a cd of ubuntu and try it from that. you dont *have* to install to your system to use it [03:07] escott, [03:07] Oh oh well, how would I make my own CD or usbstick with Ubuntu? [03:07] Cuchulainn: but direct links are more convenient [03:07] maco: you're that cute girl from the ubuntu webpage right [03:07] FlashSmith: the "desktop" iso on the download page on ubuntu.com is a live cd [03:07] !usb > FlashSmith [03:07] FlashSmith, please see my private message [03:07] cryptopsy: uh... [03:07] I get the 'Following packages were automatically installed and no longer required; linux-headers-2.6.32-21' [03:07] yea the one with the unibrow, i remember you [03:08] cryptopsy: i'm a woman with an ubuntu blog, if that's what you mean [03:08] Cuchulainn: those atkbd lines are probably from when you were pressing keys [03:08] but i don't know how many times you pressed it [03:08] toad`: sudo apt-get autoremove will get remove it [03:08] but see how it says 'composite sync not supported', you can investigate that [03:08] cryptopsy, http://ompldr.org/vOTNtaA]http://ompldr.org/vOTNtaA [03:08] remove linux-headers? [03:08] also note the times between the events [03:08] Cuchulainn: ompldr has a firefox tool and lets you upload other media too like images [03:08] Cuchulainn: that's why i suggested it [03:08] I said Y and it said 'Something wicked happend resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' [03:09] it cant connect out [03:09] apparently [03:09] Unable to fetch some archives ... etc.. [03:09] Cuchulainn: people who want to downloda your files can use 'wget yourfileURL' [03:09] No address associated with hostname [03:09] Cuchulainn: another good tool is etherpad by google [03:09] Cuchulainn: they quit that project so now there are various ehterpads, one is piratepad.net [03:09] or maybe its .com [03:09] toad`: if the package manager says it is no longer needed it is fine to remove [03:09] toad`, blah you probably need to copy some things like resolve.conf over from /etc [03:09] but its like a multiplayer pastebin [03:10] hrmpf [03:10] Cuchulainn: for examle you and your friend can be both editing your document in REALTIME, and at the same time [03:10] so what should I do [03:10] cryptopsy, so a netbook kbd works more like network transport layer, where instead of interrupt, it sends until gets ACK or not? [03:10] grr [03:10] toad`: ask in the ubuntu forums [03:10] see escott I think it would just be easier to reinstall [03:10] lol [03:10] Cuchulainn: i don't know [03:10] people don't memorize these things [03:10] hi guys [03:10] rednut: hi [03:10] h [03:11] Cuchulainn: you can ignore all the sdc stuff [03:11] if you want to test your keys you can use xev [03:11] Hmm I don't think I can use a usb since I don't think I have a big enough usb. Is it possible to burn a cd; can any computer/desktop burn a cd? [03:11] toad`, try copying /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/hosts from the livecd to the chroot just in case [03:11] FlashSmith: is it possible to burn a cd? [03:12] its not withcraft [03:12] *witchcraft [03:12] toad`, and see if you can ping something like 192.168.1.1 inside the chroot (assuming that is your router) [03:12] yea like no one knew without your brilliant correction [03:12] thx [03:12] I'm looking for a cloning software, like clonezilla but in native no a live cd, to make an iso out of an hard drive ( not using the cmd dd or mkiso) Anyone has a hint ? [03:13] cryptopsy, what is 'latency timer'? [03:13] i use acronis (just cause) [03:13] Cuchulainn: depends on the contexy [03:13] t [03:13] hrmm [03:13] it pings [03:13] I'll try and reboot [03:13] How do you get more info on what version of a kernel module is loaded? [03:13] Hmm, I have a few more questions I guess. If youre booting from a cd, does it install something on the computer, would it affect any of the existing files within the computer? [03:14] toad`, then its probably just dns (ie the resolve.conf) [03:14] Cuchulainn: oh in your dmesg, ... you can ignore it [03:14] toad`, were you able to install nm? [03:14] modinfo [03:14] cryptopsy, looks like my bios needs an upgrade? [03:14] Cuchulainn: probably not [03:14] is there a way to make a tablet work on a dual screen on ubuntu? [03:14] root@ubuntu:~# modinfo bnx2 [03:14] ? [03:14] toad`, and i realize telling you to copy over /etc/hosts would have blown away your hostname [03:14] Cuchulainn: did you find out what atkbd and that other one mean? [03:15] i think so [03:15] got python 3.1 interpreter from software centre, typed python in shell but still comes up with 2.6 interpreter [03:15] it said the stuff about linux-headers [03:15] but it says that everytime I try to apt-get something [03:15] no-name-, Need to update the symlink [03:15] Cuchulainn: try xev first too [03:15] Check path for python3.* [03:15] I said Y and it said something something bout somethign wicked happening no able to resolve hostname etc... === Laser is now known as Guest82337 [03:15] cryptopsy, is that a cli command, or something to look for in dmesg? [03:16] its a program that you run from the command line [03:16] cryptopsy, you have to keep in mind that i am a babe in the woods when it comes to this stuff.. [03:16] toad`, well if you get nm working again on the installed system you will need to correct /etc/hosts to make sure your /etc/hostname is mapped to 127.0.0.1 [03:16] cryptopsy, so thanks for the patience.. [03:16] Cuchulainn: yea just install it [03:16] and run it [03:16] simpull [03:16] Cuchulainn: lol babe in woods [03:16] amber alert [03:17] jgpzen: I asked in #python. typing python3 works [03:17] toad`, thats no doubt what apt said was wicked, because hosts didn't direct hostname back to the localhost [03:17] There are still inherent problems with XHCI, USB 3.0, and suspending on Natty, yet a bug relating to this was resolved as "Fix released," with comments since about workarounds still needing to be applied but no developer activity. Why is this? [03:17] cryptopsy, x11-utils? [03:17] grekkos: Interesting that my ping on lan is 17ms, came across this: http://cloudservers.rackspacecloud.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_-_HLDS_(Steam_Version) , with all important line: apt-get install lib32gcc1 (since lack of free 64bit not tested) === moo is now known as Guest3245 [03:19] cryptopsy, 'sudo apt-get install xev'='no installation candidate' [03:21] I've learnt a lot about linux today :) [03:21] g [03:22] Cuchulainn: apt-get search xev [03:22] Anyone have an xchat now playing plugin for vlc [03:22] or even an alternate media player for linux (that you know of a now playing script/plugin) [03:22] Jaded: good luck and feel free to always ask [03:22] jaded: good ;) you're doing well! [03:22] Drew|: Those things are terrible. [03:22] Corey, heh [03:22] Drew|: Channels full of people really, really don't care what you're listening to. [03:22] haha [03:22] thanks ITguy [03:23] Corey, yeah but they can deal with it [03:23] didn't see you in chat when I was asking questions ;p [03:23] Drew|: Such things are bannable here. :-) [03:23] Good thing I do not idle here [03:23] :-) [03:23] Im trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on the side of a pre-installed windows 7. I get Bootloader install failed wgen grub wants to install. Where do i go from here ? [03:23] im just being passive tonight :) [03:23] cryptopsy, nothing...but ran just xev...got some text output in term, and a gui 'event tester', both of which seem to record w/o end? [03:23] Drew|: http://xchat.org/cgi-bin/search.pl?str=vlc&cat=0&Submit=Search [03:23] Drew|: xchat.org has a tone of scripts [03:24] Drew|: heh, one's called "VLC XChat spam 0.1" [03:24] hi all :) where does brasero store the disc image before burning to disc? [03:24] fantastic, thanks Logan_ and IdleOne [03:24] hahaha logan [03:24] hdon, /tmp [03:24] is there anything wrong with this: http://pastebin.com/3irN8rJP ? [03:24] nikhil_, thanks... i just realized though i don't think i used brasero. i used nautilus [03:24] where does nautilus do it? [03:25] hdon, /tmp most likely [03:25] cromag, run this script and pastebin the text. Can be run from a Live Ubuntu cd. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [03:25] Cuchulainn: use the graphical user interface in the menu to search for xev [03:25] i don't remember what it's called [03:25] nit-wit: when would i do that ? [03:26] i'm getting this error every time telling me there isn't enough space. but this isn't the error i got before, where i solved the problem by splitting up my ambition for one DVD into two DVDs. now it creates the disk image, then ejects the disk, and tells me there wasn't enough space, so i was thinkin gmaybe it was talking about creating the image on my hdd [03:26] cromag, it is a script that generates a text file of your setup a what is where it saves the 1000, questions. [03:26] hdon, how did you partition your harddrive? [03:26] nit-wit: i mean, im "stuck" in the install right now. do i cuntinue without bootloader ? [03:27] hdon, did you use ubuntu's default scheme? if so, how much free space do you have? [03:27] cromag, you can let the install keep going (the bootloader will fail) and then fix it afterwards with !grub [03:27] !grub | cromag [03:27] cromag: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [03:27] nikhil_, encrypted homes, swap, and root [03:28] hdon, so how large are the files and how much disk space is free on your primary partition? [03:28] ok, i'll hit the conitinue without bootloader. [03:28] mount|grep /tmp # doesn't seems to suggest /tmp is on my / filesystem [03:28] hdon, navigate to "/" and look at the bottom of nautilus. it will tell you free space [03:28] cryptopsy, xev (and possibly dmesg) seems to only log within session...my problem is happening at login, but not inside session? [03:28] thatITguy, the free space on / is fairly close to the size of the image i need to create3 [03:28] cromag, without knowing more; I'm trying to get the appropriate information so we actually fix it. [03:28] maco: you spin me right round baby right round ... [03:29] hdon, if that is less than the size of the dvd you want to burn, you might have a problem [03:29] thatITguy, nikhil_: brasero seems to have no problem doing the operation, only nautilus. using brasero works. [03:29] nit-wit: i know, and want you to have it, can i do this from the install menu ? other wise i need to get to a point where it¨s possible [03:29] Cuchulainn: i figured we can check what's going on at runtime [03:29] so are you trying to save it as an .iso, or are you burning an .iso to DVDs? [03:29] hdon, sorry mate, can't help you now. Gotta get ready for the day :) [03:29] cryptopsy: stop harassing the channel users. [03:29] Cuchulainn: gotta start somewhere [03:30] cromag, read the link. [03:30] Cuchulainn: also i'm sorry if i've harrassed you in any way [03:30] cryptopsy, oh...ok..not at all...just trying to get my bearings...appreciate the help.. [03:30] like a babe in the woods ... [03:30] cryptopsy: he's referring to you being exceedingly CREEPY toward me [03:30] cromag, theoretically you could ctrl-alt-f1 to a console and do some of the things listed in !grub while the install is going on [03:30] maco: what do you mean? there's /ignore [03:30] i thought you didn't mind [03:30] nikhil_, thanks :) have a good day [03:30] hi folks... i am new to ubuntu and trying to build a patched kernel module on Ubuntu 10.4... so i installed kernel source and build deps with apt-get, patched the sources in /usr/src/linux and now what is the proper way to rebuild only the patched parts? Thanks much... [03:30] cryptopsy: if i didnt mind i wouldnt have kicked you [03:31] <_Lucifer> I have a multiboot liveusb set up. the liveusb aspects (I use it for other stuff too) are getting to be about the size of a DVD. is there an easy way to convert it to a bootable dvd? [03:31] maco, crypstopsy..so what's going on now? [03:31] nit-wit: so you suggest i cancel the installation, and boot into the livecd, correct ? [03:31] when you add an icon to the messaging indicator in /usr/share/indicators/messages , is there some way to control the order the order they appear in the menu? [03:31] hdon, so are you burning an iso to DVD or writing files to an iso? [03:32] Cuchulainn: turns out making comments about others' bodies doesn't count as tech support, so he's gone [03:32] cromag, what is the error you getting again and where. [03:32] my laptop fn keys do not work for brightness, neither does power management, nor the widget . [03:32] balt, system specs? [03:32] nit-wit: during installation of 1104 on the side of windows 7, grub wont install on sda5, the linux partition. [03:32] <_Lucifer> balt11t, what type of laptop is it? [03:33] EEE Pc [03:33] oh wait, this might like to be on the windows partition ? [03:33] maco, thanks, though 'babe in the woods' is an expression referring to a state of innocence and niavete...i didn't catch the comment... [03:33] balt, can you give us a version of ubuntu? [03:33] cromag, normally it should go to sda are you trying to run easybcd? [03:33] balt11t, is there a backlight level in /sys/class/backlight [03:34] 11.04 [03:34] maco, maybe i'm being inappropriate, and just too dense to realize...(wouldn't be the first time)? [03:34] Cuchulainn: it started further in backscroll. see PM for log [03:34] escott, should I cd there? [03:34] nit-wit: no i dont think so, just the ubuntu 32bit install/try cd [03:34] then ls? [03:35] <_Lucifer> quit [03:35] balt11t, sure (its actually in a subdirectory of backlight) [03:35] cromag, so at the custom install partitioning setup you chose sda5 for grub, t should be sda which is the master boot record, MBR. [03:35] balt11t, mine is /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness [03:35] *it should be [03:35] fail [03:36] i upgrade to 11.04 and my integrated webcam stopped working (it can't find the folder /dev/video0), could someone please help? [03:36] what's the meaning of "$?==1" in bash [03:36] Please assist... When I ping or traceroute anything all i get back are asterisks. ***. Firewall is off. Ubuntu 11.04 cabled straight into eth0. Is it my ISP blocking...something to do with port forwarding on router?? [03:36] escott, actual_brightness brightness and max_brightness [03:36] lesson 1 don't upgrade [03:37] lee__, the last programs exit code (usually 0 is success) [03:37] centHOGG: it updated and broke first [03:37] nit-wit: i need to be sure; you want me to choose sda and no numbers ? [03:37] Hi [03:37] hi kiichiro [03:37] balt11t, ok that was just to check your kernel knows the backlight exists. you should be able to cat ## > /sys/class/.../brightness where ## is some value to change the brightness level (be careful with the values you test) [03:38] cromag, that is correct I'm asuming you don't have a gpt or raid set up here as well. [03:38] balt11t, rather echo ## [03:38] nit-wit: correct. [03:38] cromag, yeah just sda is where grub goes.;) [03:38] escott, why don't the fn keys work? [03:38] balt11t, that i don't know. just suggesting that you check that the kernel is able to change the brightness level [03:39] nit-wit: ok, it seems the installation process has stopped now, cant chooses any of the options now :) - or i can choose but pressing OK doesnt do anything [03:39] courtney_, in what applications? [03:39] hello [03:40] courtney_, nevermind if /dev/video0 doesn't exist nothing should work [03:40] escott: i've tried with cheese and in the multimedia systems selector under system > admin [03:40] i mean sys > pref [03:41] permission denied [03:41] balt11t, sudo -i first [03:41] ,what's the last programes exit? [03:41] cromag, in the partitioning section the custom install did you set the mount of the sda5 as / [03:41] escott, permission denied [03:41] i asked it to be "along side windows 7" [03:42] balt11t, first line "sudo -i [ENTER]" it will ask for the password, then you get a root shell. then echo ## >brightness [03:42] but right now i cant even cancel the installation process nit-wit [03:42] cromag, that is risky, do you know how many partitons are there already [03:42] Hey, is there an apt-get command to only get the required packages, and ignore the suggested ones? [03:42] Please assist... When I ping or traceroute anything all i get back are asterisks. ***. Firewall is off. Ubuntu 11.04 cabled straight into eth0. Is it my ISP blocking...something to do with port forwarding on router?? [03:42] nit-wit: let me try reboot, check the partitions and get back. This installation has gone cold. [03:43] it dimmed [03:43] cromag, sounds correct [03:43] courtney_, do you know what kind of camera this is? lsusb to find it [03:44] nit-wit: ill get the partitions done manually instead then. [03:44] balt11t, well your backlight works then... perhaps the keyboard is sending strange keysyms the kernel doesn't recognize... all that is a bit beyond me [03:44] escott, weird, 13 is dark, but 12 is bright [03:45] balt11t, you said eee pc yeah? [03:45] cromag, your best served letting W7 partition itself leaving unallocated for Ubuntu, but knowing the partition limitations in types and amounts. [03:45] lee__, if a program fails like rm file_that_doesnt_exist then $? =1 will be different than after it succeeds (touch foo; rm foo; echo $? = 0) [03:46] billybigrigger, yeah, and in 10.10, actually it worked in 11.04 too, but i had to reinstall ubuntu [03:46] nit-wit: im not sure i understood that, im a dane. what i have is a pre defined windows 7 part. on 300g, and an unallocated 200g space. [03:47] escott: i'm not sure which one it is... [03:47] nit-wit: but now; partition window.

[03:48] escott,I see,Thank you !~ [03:48] billybigrigger, then after the reinstall it stopped [03:48] nit-wit: sorry, correct, a 100meg recovery something as well [03:48] balt11t, that's weird [03:48] ,I see,Thank you ~ [03:48] question, I'm trying to save jpgs using Epiphany browser, but they keep coming out as junk 19KB files [03:48] lee__, np [03:48] nit-wit: recovery in sda1, win7 in sda2 [03:48] firefox and opera can save them fine [03:48] billybigrigger, any ideas then? [03:49] balt11t, is google any help? there are quite a few eee ubuntu users out there...never heard of something like that happening on a re-format though [03:49] balt11t, was 10.10 to 11.04 an upgrade? [03:49] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/628257/ [03:49] Jaded, what does "file" think they are [03:49] nit-wit: removing the prev. ubuntu/swaps [03:49] maybe there's a change in an acpi setting somewhere in 11.04 that breaks it? [03:49] that would explain your breakage in a fresh install of 11.04 [03:49] billybigrigger, yeah, it was an upgrade than a reinstall. and google is no help [03:50] boooo [03:50] google is NOT your friend! [03:50] :P hehe [03:50] oh wait [03:50] courtney_, there is no camera there unless it is 0db0:3801 but i think that is bluetooth. this is an integrated camera? [03:50] Shoot, hmm, [03:51] billybigrigger, I lied, and got all my months confused, haha. I reinstalled 10.10, then upgraded to 11.04. [03:51] escott: yes that was everything from lsusb, i don't think it detects it at all [03:51] billybigrigger, it never worked in 11.04 [03:51] cromag, on any single HD you can have at the most 4 primary partitions, or 3 primaries, and a extended which can hold logical partitions. The primary is needed for the W7 main boot OS, Ubuntu will run in logicals with no problem. [03:51] balt11t, ahhh [03:51] still i'm not helping [03:51] courtney_, maybe its not usb (which is odd but possible) try lspci [03:52] courtney_, you could also try lshw [03:52] im mean i'm no help...im not an eee user bud :( [03:52] billybigrigger, March and April ran together in my mind lol [03:52] cromag, YOu probably know this it just helps to mention it [03:52] courtney_, what model is this system [03:52] nit-wit: well, i never am sure what to pick during dualboot installs [03:53] escott: uh zareason [03:53] nit-wit: primary logical, beginning end... [03:53] escott: i can't find a camera in either of those [03:53] cromag, as for install it is best to custom install for safety, or have everything cloned. [03:56] cromag, here is a link that might helped this is a very good site. http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html [03:56] hello, umm is the latest version of Virtualbox fixed from its problems with USB? [03:56] error_404__, what usb issues? [03:57] in case if anyone will find that it is "make M=path/to/module" [03:57] hey guys, i am having trouble changing id3 tags on my music in ubuntu, i can't edit the tags with either EasyTag or Picard(MusicBrainz), they are stored on an NTFS drive which i am beginning to wonder has any effect on it (i ripped some tracks in ubuntu to the same drive and can't change them either). and i did check, i have rw access to the files. any ideas? [03:58] excedere: it happened in 4.0.6 with something about the usb interface... [03:58] courtney_, well val aurora apparently like zareason so thats a plus. not sure what the deal with your camera is. you might try emailing them, or booting an older livecd that does work and seeing if you can identify the camera model in it [03:58] nit-wit: thanks. - lets see how it goes :) [03:59] error_404__, USB is intentionally limited in the free version.. not sure if your issues are tied to that but I've never had an issue with mine [03:59] wow [03:59] i just felt dizzy [04:00] nit-wit: if i fail, ill try again tomorrow :) [04:00] wizard1, shouldnt be. have you tried running easytag from the command line and seeing what errors you get in the terminal window [04:00] error_404__, there is a down loadable for usb....etc VirtualBox 4.0.8 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack [04:00] cromag, goodluck [04:00] thanks [04:00] escott: good idea, sorry for not trying that [04:00] wizard1, nothing to be sorry about. [04:01] nit-wit: ill try it out, its just my ISP has a 40gb monthly cap and i do not want to go over it :b [04:01] escott: it says its an intel webcam when i look up my computer online [04:01] courtney_, didn't know intel even made webcams [04:02] nit-wit: plus ill use it to install ubuntu on it with the GNOME-Team PPA to test out GNOME 3 [04:02] courtney_, can you tell if it is supposed to be usb or what [04:03] escott: IOError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported [04:05] escott: well if it used to work with gstreamer, does that mean that it would be usb? [04:06] escott: or am i just completely wrong [04:06] courtney_, doesn't mean much that it used to work with gstreamer. could be anything really. most webcams are usb (its a bus that is reasonably widely available and has the necessary throughput, and wasting a pci slot is unnecessary) [04:07] wizard1, sure sounds like something related to ntfs. like an fseek or some other function call that might be used to insert data into the middle of a larger file is not supported. not sure what you can do about it though [04:07] wizard1, you could copy the file out to the ext4 partition, modify it there, and then put it back [04:08] which is the best version of ubuntu in your opinion? [04:08] escott: well it's this computer if that helps at all > http://zareason.com/shop/Alto-1454.html [04:08] escott: yeah ill check it out [04:09] courtney_, yeah it doesn't really say enough about the hardware. i would (a) see if it works after a complete shutdown (and wait 5 seconds before rebooting), (b) if you can determine the type and driver that used to work, (c) email zareason/try their forums === Loaf is now known as Loto [04:09] courtney_, without being able to identify the device its hard to make any progress [04:10] escott: okay thanks ^^ [04:12] ##re [04:12] hello [04:12] what is the ubuntu dev channel? [04:12] 这里是？ [04:13] !cn | hanhua [04:13] hanhua: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [04:13] hanhua: hello [04:13] 你好 [04:13] I'm trying to update some of the packages on my system but wont let me due to untrusted sources, Which I'm using medibuntu repository [04:14] escott: yeah looks like an ntfs problem, from ext4 it could change the files and move them to the ntfs, it just looks like it can't modify files stored in ntfs [04:14] yeah [04:14] wizard1, it would be interesting to identify what syscall is failing and either report it to easytag or ntfs-3g [04:15] escott: any reason python would have different ntfs support when ubuntu seems to handle ntfs well enough [04:15] escott: does ntfs-3g already run on ubuntu? [04:16] nit-wit: success - just booted into ubuntu and afterwards windows. Thanks for your help :) [04:16] sleeep.... now--- [04:16] wizard1, i think its the way the application is handling the file. its probably trying to write specific bytes or tell the kernel to insert bytes into the middle of the file (and thus avoiding reading the rest of the file and rewriting) [04:16] wizard1, you are using ntfs-3g [04:16] cromag, cool.;) [04:17] 没有中文的吗？ [04:17] Is there a way to update packages on system with having unauthenticated Sources [04:17] !cn | tang [04:17] tang: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [04:17] 谢谢 [04:17] !ko | tang [04:17] tang: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [04:18] 在哪个位置输入？ [04:18] escott: yeah that sounds like what is happening, any ideas where to find error report to submit? sounds like ntfs-3g isn't responsible, but maybe they'd be interested in creating an interface since it is happening on both Amarok, EasyTag, and Picard [04:18] Why is there no /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Ubuntu? Where does Xorg get it's config? [04:18] !jp | tang sorry im guessing [04:18] tang sorry im guessing: 日本語の場合は /join #ubuntu-jp または /join #kubuntu-jp を入力して下さい。 [04:18] NoqturnalX, autoconfig since about 2 years ago [04:19] wizard1, I would start by stracing or gdb'ing the program to figure out what syscall it is that is failing [04:19] how does that work? I'm trying to enable sound through my hdmi port [04:19] NoqturnalX, well thats tricky, but unrelated to xorg [04:19] escott: alright ill look into it [04:19] I have a ATI HD Radeon 2600 XT w/ Dual DVI ports and use a HDMI adapter to go to a TV [04:19] What do I need to learn to do then to figure this out? [04:20] NoqturnalX, you have to (a) select the hdmi sound output in pulseaudio (b) pray... at least from what I have gathered from seeing others [04:21] Im not sure if anyone else uses Deluge, but does it always have to re-check files after a reboot, or is there a way to turn that off? [04:21] wizard1, one would think that the fuse (user space fs) should support all syscalls, but maybe these programs are assuming they can use some special linux only ioctl or syscall not supported elsewhere, in which case they should fall back to reading and rewriting the whole file [04:21] I think just by default it checks files, I've never looked into that though [04:21] I don't see the harm of deluge checking files on launch tho, but i'll check to see if there's a option to disable it [04:22] Noqturnal: If it has to check multiple 50gb files [04:22] Its a pain. [04:22] I hear ya there lol [04:22] hola gente [04:22] Yeah I have like 400gb of stuff im actively seeding [04:23] alguien que hable español? [04:23] So its a nightmare [04:23] !es | darkgod [04:23] darkgod: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:23] gracias gracias [04:23] darkgod, de nada [04:25] I didn't see a option in prefs, But to be honest i'm not sure if it's specific to deluge or the torrent protocol [04:25] I think it checks so it can update the trackers, but im not sure sounds worthy of looking deeper into [04:25] NoqturnalX, it is technically part of the protocol, but its a bit obnoxious to not trust the system [04:26] Hmm. [04:26] Yea I figured it might be part of the protocol itself lol [04:27] NoqturnalX, if it didn't check the files then the user could modify the files and it would start sending bad blocks out thus DoS the other users [04:27] I got a seedbox for such things that never turns off or goes down so I don't really worry bout that stuff [04:27] that said if i wanted to DoS the other users I would write my own client to do exactly that [04:27] Yea I can see reasons why it's part of the protocol. [04:28] It is mildly tedious though [04:28] I am using nestopia and having issues with the screen sort of wrapping around at the top and the bottom when I move in some games. I understand that this was how the Nes behaved and that TV's clipped that part, so is there a way to clip the top and bottom? [04:28] jimmie, the only thing I can to check is the timestamps, just in case your timestamps are presenting it as modified after the last time the program closed [04:28] Cuervo: A bit of masking tape? [04:28] Ah, will do escott. Cheers. [04:28] There's actually been a few times where I've downloaded a new Linux distro via torrent and it say's it's complete but if I do a recheck it always found a corrupted piece lol [04:28] Thanks to you NoqturnalX as well [04:29] No prob, I like Deluge [04:29] the other client I used to use was the older versions of Azureus [04:29] jimmie: Heh, I would like to avoid having to remove tape from my monitor every time I stopped playing [04:29] ;) === amosk is now known as amosk_launch [04:30] Does anybody know how to setup SLIP in Ubuntu? [04:31] So I read researching my HDMI problem that by default the ati driver compiles with audio disabled. Is there a way to turn it on?

[04:40] balleyne, escott suggested it could be from hot-plug [04:40] balleyne, if you wanted to be surgical there is probably some udev rule you can tweak [04:41] escott, the only thing i see that is close to the banner is #Banner /etc/issue.net [04:41] balleyne, but if jockey were doing that to me I would just chmod -x it :) [04:41] ZykoticK9, escott: hmm, yeah, does seem like a hot-plug type thing, I believe it's on log in, or when I turn the printer from off to on while logged in [04:42] escott: hahaha it may well come to that... it's a family room computer, so I'm not logging in super often, but still pretty annoying [04:43] yer there is nothing in there escott. [04:43] Nobgul-BNC, could it be in /etc/profile? [04:44] Well when i edit the banner file /etc/motd its already got the information in there. So i guess there is something that fills that file at set times weither its at login or on a cron. [04:44] Nobgul-BNC, i don't have the server openssh-server so have no such banner... not sure why it would be different on desktop though [04:44] Not sure escott [04:45] hmm.... So I'm not using Ubuntu exactly but a distro built off Ubuntu (backtrack) and it's running KDE 4, in KMIX I see 2 tabs for 2 different sound cards. I want to use the HDMI one which shows up as IEC958 but there's no volume slider there. I type in arecord -l and only get the onboard card ALC888 Analog [04:45] It is just annoying because i would like to set my own banner for customers ie: type get egg to install blah blah. Unless I can make the system read a text file after each login? [04:46] heading out of town and trying to configure remote desktop. everything works but i still have to hit accept on desktop for session to begin. i have enabled UPnP on router but still can't login. is there a way around this? what am i missing? [04:46] bodiecon, i had the same issue. I ended up using vncserver [04:47] Nobgul-BNC: motd stuff is most likely generated by the files in /etc/update-motd.d [04:47] took about 3 mins to setup and get running [04:47] quiescens, I will check that now thank you [04:47] Nobgul-BNC: hmm. i'll look into that. [04:48] It runs pretty good. I am happy with it. Allows me to have it running on my dedicated and login to a dekstop for diff things [04:49] quiescens, those are deff the files that are populating the motd. If i just delete them will something bad happen? [04:49] Nobgul-BNC, better practice to chmod -x them, but check if cron is running them [04:50] nevermind seems like i will just add a new script there and let it read a file. [04:50] I think cat filename would work [04:50] Ill figure it out but atleast i found the files i need to play with [04:51] Nobgul-BNC: i just want to be able to grab files and throw into dropbox or something if i need it while i'm gone [04:51] thanks [04:51] bodiecon, if all you need is file access try ssh [04:51] No worries. you could always ssh in as well. I have my dropbox setup for the dir. I just ftp the files into the incomming dir then cp them over [04:52] cp is illegal [04:52] im telling [04:52] escott: yeah i looked at that but being new to linux i'm still trying to learn the command line stuff. vnc will be much easier for now. [04:53] lol [04:53] bodiecon, ill bet you spend more time setting up vnc than it would take to learn the 3 cli commands you need :) [04:53] escott: you might be right!!!! lol! [04:54] hello. i have a usb webcam that uses the ov519 module. it works on my laptop but on desktop i get a probe error -22. the two machines are both running 64bit 11.04, same kern. both are intel based. any ideas? [04:54] bodiecon, ssh can also provide sftp which you could use a gui from [04:56] escott: well then let me look in to that as well. i've installed securessh already [04:56] quiescens, escott, thank you my motd is finally working [04:57] I made my icon text bigger but now it's all big and slim so that I only get a few letters per line. where do I go to make the icons wider. [04:57] bodiecon, just apt-get install openssh-server; then try to sftp localhost. put in your password and ls. you should see your home directory [04:57] bodiecon, if that works then you can try using fireftp or some other gui [04:58] winscp is also nice. [04:58] if you using a winblows box [04:58] escott: looking into it now. thanks [04:58] xp! [04:58] on Natty, after the computer shows the BIOS screen it says out of range. Is there a way to fix that? [04:59] GTRsdk, /etc/default/grub will allow you to set a smaller video range [04:59] GTRsdk, run update-grub afterwards [04:59] fucking peice of horsepissing crap shit asshole jizz face Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! [04:59] GTRsdk, I had that issue I think it was a Graphics issue [04:59] sister fucking whore [04:59] woah calm down [04:59] I AM PISSED! [04:59] first time ubuntu?

[05:01] ZykoticK9, escott: fixed it -- uninstalled hplip. I may have installed that when trying to find the right driver, but I'd got the printer working with foo2xqx instead. With hplip uninstalled, no longer prompted for installation every the I log in / connect the print. Finally! [05:01] what his issue? [05:01] I'm pissed for good reasons ok [05:02] tourettes [05:02] usually we get mad.. when people dont help [05:02] He's mad at life?

[05:04] I made my icon text bigger but now it's all big and slim so that I only get a few letters per line. where do I go to make the icons wider. [05:04] pissedkid your body turns everything into ATP which is adenosine triphosphate.. before that it turns it into glucose which sugar.. eat whatever u want [05:04] TheLifelessOne, Headache [05:04] go away chatters [05:04] SubCool, no other option for me. I haven't any discs I can burn to. :/ [05:04] im waiting on help too [05:05] the sugar you have to stay away from is the complex carbohydrates, polysaccharides [05:05] TheLifelessOne, I'm no expert but you cant do that. You have to install ubuntu on it's own partition. [05:05] benzaldehyde: Your body doesn't turn it into ATP, and I'd be happy to explain further in #ubuntu-offtopic. [05:05] !op [05:05] Help!

[05:06] TheLifelessOne, YOu cant even go from ubuntu to ubuntu without doing it one udate at a time. [05:06] SubCool: Please take offtopic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic. You can be in more than one channel at a time. [05:06] i wasnt able to apply the script because i walked away. But- i knew where to find it. [05:06] tripelib, well I've got time, but no discs I can burn to. :/ [05:06] and TheLifelessOne it's a good idea because if it doesnt work you still have the working debian partition to use. [05:06] i have a question about packaging... would this be the place to ask it? [05:06] Flannel, yes i can- but im not going to. [05:06] crephoto: just ask, probably [05:06] TheLifelessOne, you can do it on a usb flash drive [05:06] I'm not so concerned about the partition, honestly. [05:06] kk [05:07] SubCool: That's fine, as long as you remain ontopic in this channel. [05:07] Flannel, if u know anything about flash.. that'll get me out quicker.. [05:07] tripelb, BIOS doesn't support that. :/ [05:07] TheLifelessOne, please use my nick in every line when you are talking to me. [05:07] TheLifelessOne, ty [05:07] tripelb, sorry. :/ [05:07] ah I see the lifelessone, older comuter than my 2004 one. Then have someone else make you a liveCD [05:08] Chupe mantequilla de mi culo [05:08] ah I see the lifelessone, older comuter than my 2004 one. Then have someone else make you a liveCD TheLifelessOne [05:08] TheLifelessOne, you could try booting a vm of the install cd and then installing to a raw image... then chroot in to install the bootloader [05:08] tripelb, 'tis a very old computer. [05:08] flannel you havent said one ontopic thing since i got here other than to hand ring everyone else what do you even do here [05:08] escott, I wouldn't even know where to get started with that. :/ [05:08] right now, the blender package is behind the currently released version... if i wanted to package the current version and post it to the repos, how would i do that/where should i go to find out? [05:09] find the ppa [05:09] TheLifelessOne, there is an ubuntu minimal netboot. you might try that. its the closest to a debian bootstrap that i am aware of [05:09] like [05:09] if anyone needs a lesson on topics its you, look up socrates, he inveted topics [05:09] luke [05:09] TheLifelessOne, I cant understand what escott said. sHe's a better source. I hand you over... HEH [05:09] KICK BUTT benzaldehyde [05:09] escott: there's a netboot of that? [05:09] ,,!,,, flannel t-shirt sit n spin [05:10] escott, doesnt installing ubuntu on a partition erase everything on that partition? [05:10] tripelb, all my data is backed up. [05:10] TheLifelessOne, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [05:10] tripelb, i would think so [05:10] escott: Thanks [05:10] crephoto: not sure myself, but looks like there was a packaging guide put out recently: http://iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-packaging-guide-out-easy-logic-presentation-lucid-maverick-natty [05:10] hey folks [05:11] balleyne: thnx, ill check it out [05:11] can someone please tell me how can enable show desktop in unity. [05:11] TheLifelessOne, ah so escott has an answer better than asking for a liveCD (triplelb remembers this) [05:11] crephoto: oh, better link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete [05:11] mrcreativity: have you tried +d ? [05:11] kk [05:11] question, can I repartion my hard drive in a way that I dont lose my data. I have used 15% of it. [05:12] sorry if i want clear...i didnt mean show desktop, i wanted something like show all windows [05:12] Flash anyone? [05:12] SubCool, what is the flash question? [05:12] then you should try +w [05:12] can someone help with flash, i was watching anime and it crashed. Now it wont load at all. I have uninstalled it, and reinstalled via Software manager, i have uninstalled and reinstalled FLAHS-aid for firefox. [05:12] mrcreativity, click on the thing in the panel that shows desktop then click on it again to reveal all deaktops. It's a purple square way on the left for me. [05:12] mrcreativity: There's Compiz Scale. Works in 10.10, I don't use 11.04 so I couldn't say [05:13] subcool. try installing chrome. [05:13] SubCool, Did you reboot the system? [05:13] SubCool: what happens when you try to view a flash video? grey box? crash? nothing loads? [05:13] good call for subcool. [05:13] i have chrome [05:13] i have rebooted a few times [05:13] something like what super + w does...but with the mouse. i have it enabled in gnome classic using cssm, i cant figure out how to do it in unity [05:14] tripelb: Please don't give annoying answers like that. Thanks. [05:14] um.. when i try to load a poage with flash, it says i do not have flash [05:14] mrcreativity, mouse gestures ish? [05:14] flannel, I beg your pardon? [05:14] ineffectual operator [05:14] tripelb: "How do I get flash working in firefox" "Install chrome" is not a helpful answer. [05:14] yeah...sorry for not being able to find the correct words...im kinda stupid today morning [05:14] mrcreativity: It's ok. [05:15] is that what you do give everyone grief [05:15] SubCool: oooh... in multiple browsers? Do you get the same results in Chrome *and* FIrefox, or is it only giving you trouble in one browser? [05:15] benzaldehyde: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this is not the correct channel for those comments. [05:15] mrcreativity: you can use ccsm in unity... unless you already tried that [05:15] mrcreativity, you can install gestikk as well, I am almost sure that is for mouse genstures. [05:15] flannel, first he didnt say that. He wanted to see his anime. And we are all learning. If you install chrome and it works then you isolate the problem. I've never heard anyone so rute in all the years I have been here but then I dont tend to remember the rude ones. [05:15] balleyne, both browsers [05:15] I thought Unity's behavior is controlled by CCSM? [05:16] * tripelb leaves [05:16] CodenameStrike, to some extent [05:17] balleyne, Nobgul-BNC tripelb - i have this problem frequently- Ill be watching anime. then it'll randomly crash. Then i have nothing until i reinstall everything. Which isnt working [05:17] you ain't no daisy [05:17] SubCool: Do you have the flash plugin enabled? [05:17] couldn't operate my johnson [05:17] friggen loser [05:17] SubCool: what command / method are you using to reinstall Flash? [05:17] toss my salad [05:17] SubCool, I don't think it is a isolate issue to just you. I have the same problem. [05:17] town punk [05:18] Omega, ofcourse? [05:18] seek professional help [05:18] balleyne, i am using software manager [05:18] SubCool: In Firefox go to Tools->Add-ons->Plugin and check. [05:18] flannel your mother sucks cocks in hell [05:18] suck it [05:18] Plugins* [05:18] ,,!,, [05:18] pickle kisser [05:19] escott: well that I do understand. But as far as enabling Unity options is concerned the options are in CCSM I guess [05:19] mouse gestures on the other hand, I think it's not related to Unity [05:19] I have Firefox 4, and there is nothing with flash in my plugins [05:19] CodenameStrike, it uses compiz so ccsm still takes effect, but the unity-panel is not exposed in ccsm so you can't configure it that way [05:19] Omega, [05:20] SubCool: There should be an entry called "Shockwave Flash" if it is not there, flash is not installed. [05:20] Omega, i only have picasa, skype and iced-tea in my plguins [05:20] SubCool: type About:Plugins in the address bar [05:20] Nobgul-BNC: If it is not where I told him to look, it won't be in about:plugins. [05:20] escott: I see [05:20] you pickle chasing queen [05:20] again [05:20] couldn't operate a walkman [05:20] Omega, Nobgul-BNC neither [05:21] cant even stand your ground and fight you kick and ban [05:21] whimp [05:21] ,,!,, [05:21] How does SLIP really work? Do I just attach a TCP/IP interface to a serial line using slattach, and *assume* there is somebody at the other end of the serial line? [05:21] SubCool: run the following command: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [05:21] Flannel, you keep banning him before I can ignore him. stop it ;) [05:23] Omega, already installed [05:23] Omega, flashplugin-installer is already the newest version. [05:24] Hi [05:24] SubCool, Omega: could it up an update-alternatives thing? I remember using that tool a few versions of Ubuntu back when switching between Gnash and Flash... [05:24] SubCool, Omega: not sure if that's relevant for 11.04 though [05:26] a sphincter bans b_enz_aldehyde4 [05:26] SubCool: What did you do with Flash-aid? [05:26] uninstalled it once flash crashed. rebooted. reinstalled [05:26] I have connected Huawei Technologies EC 156 Tata Photon+ Data Card to Ubuntu 11.04, pastebin here -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/628261/ Please suggest. [05:27] SubCool, its possible your firefox profile is confused. you might try rm -rf .firefox/plugins or some such [05:27] i work off of chrome [05:27] escott, i suppose but doubt it. [05:28] Omega, escott i use chrome, but im not use to chrome. And i know when i install flash via Firefox, it fixes it. SO- i dot know if messing with the firefox profile is going to work. [05:28] SubCool: run the following command: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [05:28] i dun understand why ubuntu finds updates for touchscreen when I dun have one :-s [05:28] is there linux version for chrome :-o ??

[05:56] sorry [05:57] Lee_Prison, coming from someone that has to repeat himself a lot. doing it at about 8-15 min intervals is ideal :3 [05:57] When is ubuntu coming out with it own line of computers? [05:57] howdy [05:58] lucas-arg: doubtful [05:58] adobe flash player keeps crashing on chromium and firefox on my Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal [05:59] They would kick apple ass === conradmurphy is now known as conradmurray [05:59] anyone know what defines the default email password from postfix...default mail goes to @server but I want to change the default [05:59] lucas-arg: hah youre funny [05:59] that reminds me, if the upgrade between ubuntu versions fails because of package dependency nightmares, is there ways to tinker with it so it works? [05:59] This is already a matured system, reinstalling from scratch isn't really on the table [06:00] codo: try gnash [06:00] i think i should switch to lubuntu its much lighter and faster [06:00] lucas-arg: but if you wanna play make-believe, i wish canonical would come out with a tablet [06:00] Airris: if you have to make a backup of etc, var, home its easier to copy over config files than reconfigure [06:01] thunder1212: i think i should switch to gentoo [06:01] gentoo = painfully slow setup [06:01] FlushBox for life [06:01] conradmurray: is gentoo very fast.. [06:02] thunder1212: it is the fast penguin [06:02] joe9876 : it's not that it's more that there's a number of open source projects installed manually on here that'd take days to put back on, i was thinking i can't back that much up since one of them may very well be the problem in the first place [06:02] *fastest [06:03] how about linux mint xfce debian edition, i checked their website and the ram requirement is very little it says [06:03] Airris well *IF* you have to resort to the worst case, it will take days, and then you'll have to slowly put things back until it breaks again, then you'll know your problem [06:03] thunder1212: you can get a minimal install from the ubuntu server disc and install just the lightest things, Xorg, fluxbox, midori.. these are faster in my opinion [06:03] Hi all…hoping someone could help me, I’m having some trouble with Unity’s system menu, it shows up behind all my windows… and if I have a full-screen window it is (obviously) not visible at all. [06:03] Anyone have any idea what’s going wrong? [06:03] linux mint xfce debian edition... now theres a name [06:03] does anyone know how to adjust webcam brightness? i've got a built-in cam on my toshiba portege, running 11.04 [06:04] Airris: you could try and do a nondestructive reinstall, but you'll probalby have to do a lot of reconfig anyways [06:04] sorry ,my expression has problem. [06:05] hawke_ and if you move the mouse over it doesn't appear? [06:05] hmmm. wait. *facepalm* i might have figured out what's probably breaking this in the first place [06:05] thunder1212: midori over firefox is a big difference as is using fluxbox instead of gnome [06:05] kde is on here for some reason... [06:05] (regular ubuntu, so gnome is the default used) [06:05] hawke_ mine is behind two until i move the mouse over to the edge [06:06] Lee_Prison: Are you trying to remove a single newline character? or "\n"? (two characters, a slash, then an n) [06:06] *too [06:06] joe9876: Right. [06:06] joe9876: That’s including clickin on the ubuntu logo in the top left. === amosk_launch is now known as amosk === amosk is now known as akong [06:06] hi, I got a boomk a while back that covers programming asm on x86 linux (ubuntu specifically) .. but I got an amd64 for xmas and wonder, can I still use this book? much thanks!! [06:06] I have to minimize everything if I want to see the menu or the ‘taskbar’ (whatever it’s called in Unity) [06:07] hawke_ hmmmm not sure, there must be a setting somewhere if its not going in and out... sorry i can't help further, you'll have to get on the forums or google a lot [06:07] thunder1212: xterm over gnome-terminal.. little choices like that play a major difference.. i command line my videos, mplayer for example.. also command line for my dvds and cds growisofs and wodim, respectively [06:08] conradmurray, do you have a good site that lists light weight alternatives, for all the packages you've listed? [06:09] for apps i mean. [06:09] and also window managers [06:09] Jaded: aptitude or apt-get.. dunno about sites i just try a lot of stuff [06:09] I've tried every window manager on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [06:10] ,it's the newline character and hex form is "0a" [06:10] Jaded: i'm in xdm with fluxbox set as my default [06:10] I'm getting very fustrated, almost prepared to go back the 2.4 kernel [06:10] blackbox and windowmaker are the best [06:10] and cde [06:10] xdm, nice [06:10] 2.4! [06:10] tried that out a few hours ago. [06:10] Lee_Prison: you want | tr -d '\n' [06:11] alright, so i'm trying to rip KDE out of this system. while i go do that. anyone for the other thing? There has to be some way to manually upgrade a package without uninstalling it's dependencies. Synaptic manages to do it whenever you want to download an update [06:11] i thought fluxbox was based on blackbox? [06:11] yes [06:11] 2.4? how will that help? [06:11] Jaded: i've heard positive things about enlightenment but haven't tried it yet [06:12] E used to be the epitome of bloat [06:12] Airris: insmode -f [06:12] what's your hardware conradmurray? [06:12] Airris: arg [06:13] arg? [06:13] What's the best way to setup desktop icons for flushbox? [06:13] joe9876: Well, I restarted unity and it seems to be OK now. [06:13] joe9876: Thanks for listening at least. :-) [06:13] 2.4 has better support for legacy hardware :p [06:14] Airris: can you just install ubuntu-desktop and remove kubuntu-desktop? [06:14] Airris: man apt-get |grep force [06:14] Jaded: give me box back -- you don't want it if you want icons [06:15] Flannel: I have done.It's my logical problem. Thx [06:15] joe9876, working on that. Ubuntu-desktop i think is already present, it's just getting all the kde bits off [06:15] Airris: so do a --purge remove on kubuntu-desktop? [06:16] XD I'll have to remember that for later, probably would have been easier than what i did. [06:20] thanks Joe. I might try dist upgrading tonight. My other problem i think would be resolved if i could make it to 11.04. I think 11.04's repositories have the version of libjpeg i need to upgrade to :3 [06:21] 11.04 sucks! [06:21] ghsh, then use something else [06:22] bazhang: I do [06:22] ghsh, if not support, then chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [06:23] bazhang_: :P [06:24] hmm. then again 10.04 is a LTS release, there's some merit to sticking with it until the next one. Ok lets get crazy and go back to trying to upgrade libjpeg [06:26] How would I go about building a script that will change a compiz profile when a program is launched and change it back when the program is closed, are their hooks? [06:27] I'm using NetBeans and it takes a lot of system resources with the way I've got it set out, so I would like to automatically take the visual effects of compiz to imrpove performance [06:27] My computer is hanging/unresponsive but via SSH I can see that it's not under load, why would it be unresponsive (note ssh login took nearly 10 minutes to complete) === Kickaxe_ is now known as Kickaxe [06:29] how can i copy settings from fedora to ubuntu. my touchpad works properly in one and not the other. [06:30] that is for my touchpad [06:30] Hello... I am confused... I used some string I downloaded off the internet to add myself to a group... if I look in the users-admin utility and look under that group's "properties", I am listed as a member... however... if i open terminal and type "groups"... it is not listed... and I cannot access a particular folder which is 770 to the group [06:30] magn3ts_: top? [06:34] ... [06:34] * types "su mcc" * [06:34] * suddenly is a member of the group he was not listed as before * [06:34] arrrgh [06:34] maybe this is some kind of weird x windows thing [06:34] uhm [06:35] mcc: i believe you have to re login for groups to change [06:35] hello to all === khaime is now known as enovativ [06:35] I just su'd from myself to myself and picked up a group [06:35] adurodea: so... when i open a new terminal in Ubuntu gui... that does not count as a "new login" the way it would if i had been SSHing in? [06:36] mcc: correct. X is all one session [06:36] minus ssh / su'd terminals inside of it [06:36] is there any reason at all to use compiz [06:36] i dont get it [06:36] got it, thanks [06:36] i am trying to load ubuntu server on a dell poweredge 2600, and I have burned the image from the ubuntu site TWICE and i still cant install it [06:36] enovativ: why not? [06:36] i keep getting "file is corrupt" errors [06:36] SultansElephant: waste your resources for a terrible ui and waste your time? [06:37] SultansElephant: way it down make it only funny for under 20 etc [06:37] i have the six drive configured RAID 5 [06:37] so what windows manager or whatever do i use out of the box [06:37] and what exactly does compositing do [06:37] and there were no errors on the burrning on either two CDS [06:38] SultansElephant: i use xmonad but anything other than gnome kde unity xfce or such are usually pretty good [06:38] use imgburn on a windowz box [06:38] i HATE windows...LOL [06:38] enovativ: did the md5 hash match? [06:38] (for the iso) [06:38] SultansElephant: you could change compize to medacity -- i use that [06:38] celthunder: didn't verifyy the md5 hash [06:38] Is there a way to send key presses to X from a shell script? [06:39] Have you done a sha1 check on your images from ubuntu.com? [06:39] is the md5 hash on the site ? [06:39] how can i see what im using currently? [06:39] Speficically I want to read a /dev/usbtty and send it as key strokes to X :-) [06:39] SultansElephant: uhm what's running? [06:39] Md5 has works too [06:40] Hello. [06:40] celthunder: i will check the md5 hash now [06:40] wait wait wait. question. can i install the newer version from source, then remove the older version, and hopefully aptitude will figure it out? [06:40] Or is that going to make everything explode spectacularly [06:41] Airris: You install the new one, don't remove the old one, and make sure the programs figure it out [06:41] I have a problem with the month&date display in the indicator. [06:41] FireStorms, try here #compiz [06:41] Airris: ? you could use aptitude to install the version in the repo's or the source version for whatever version yo uwant why would it explode? [06:41] alexfpms__, ty [06:41] celthunder, i need a newer version of what's in the repositories. But i can't remove the old version first without uprooting countless dependencies [06:42] The indicator currently shows "Fri 17. Juneta", a combination of the English month name and a Finnish suffix "ta". [06:42] the data in my ubuntu server has been rolled back to the state of 1st of May. is there any logs that could give a hint of what happened? [06:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes check this to see if your md5 has on the iso matches [06:42] I am confused by my options re: installing libpng in apt-get [06:42] Airris: so instal the new one from source using the same --prefix as the packaged version does it should overwrite anything it needs to [06:42] Do I want libpng12-0 or libpng3 [06:43] How can I determine to what program my F12 key in Ubuntu Classic (No effects) is bound to? I installed a test user, and there this binding does not exist. [06:43] celthunder: what happens if something that uses that package is running when i do that? [06:44] bullgard4: Check Keyboard Shortcuts if you haven't. [06:45] where can I d/l ubuntu-desktop pckg ? and how do I keep it from adding missing dependencies? [06:45] almoxarife: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --nodep [06:45] adurodea: thnks [06:46] How do I change the way the time indicator displays date in Natty? The default is buggy. [06:46] I'm getting lots of uncleared damage to windows on X. I have an nvidia Quadro NVS 135M. Only started happening on the upgrade to 11.04. Is this a known issue; I cannot seem to find any hints on how to deal with it. [06:46] adurodea: --nodep is not understood [06:47] almoxarife: man apt-get [06:47] wait. i should check lucid-bleed just to see if i get lucky [06:47] Guest82337: I already have. I also checked the "key" in /apps/metacity in gconf-editor. Nowhere I could find "F12" or "f12". [06:48] s/"key"/"keys" [06:50] bullgard4: Maybe this is relevant -- but I recall I can't run a terminal shortcut. I didn't know why -- Later I found out because I was in metacity. So try compiz. metacity. Some functions are disabled. [06:52] hey,i have wrote a script: sman(){man $1|grep "\$2"} to achieve a function,such as sman ls -o ,but it does't work [06:54] hellow world [06:54] hey there. i'm trying to get the first line of top output to a php script. i'm here: top -b | grep "load average" # but i'd like to stop the top command after getting th first line. how? [06:55] Lee_Prison: did you try: man ls | grep "-o" ???? [06:55] Guest82337: I do not understand you well. Why should I try Compiz? In Compiz an analogous error (key binding) appears. [06:56] MarcelT3: top -b [06:56] I just had Ubuntu/gdm/X crash... my system was not under load, nor was I under heavy IO load... What could cause this? What logs can I check? This was majorly disruptive, I lost data and I corrupted a VM... I don't mind and it's no one's fault but I'd appreciate any tips in debugging it or tracking down any idea of what happened. [06:56] qin, yes , but your expesion is wrong :man ls |grep "\-o" [06:56] this happens about once every two or three weeks if I don't reboot. [06:56] llutz_ yep. for batch. how can i stop it? [06:56] MarcelT3: top -b -n 1 [06:57] many thanx llutz_ [06:57] Lee_Prison: You right [06:57] bullgard4: I don't really know your problem -- but I'm saying that I can't do certain things until I am running compiz. Stupid -- but -- I don't know if that's your case. [06:58] magn3ts: start with dmesg [06:58] also check /var/log/xorg.0.log for x related stuff [06:58] Guest82337: I just told you that the same error appears under Compiz. So this reasoning does not help. [06:59] hi, need help with getting pitivi to update to latest build which is 14 and i am on 13.5 but when i put in the ppa i get this error when i tell update manager to update: Requires installation of untrusted packages [06:59] and /var/log/syslog [06:59] The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. [06:59] zeroedout, I had to reboot though, it was completely unusable. [06:59] zeroedout, as in, I had to manually pull the plug `sudo reboot` from SSH gave me the "system going down" but it just sat there... [06:59] lol [06:59] bullgard4: I get it. That's all I have to offer. (I tried). :) [07:00] Guest82337: Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. [07:01] when you ssh'd in you couldn't cat /var/log/xorg.0.log? [07:01] hola [07:01] if it's a kernel issue, i believe it's kern.log [07:01] zeroedout, I dunna, it didn't occur to me until just now. I suppose I can still check that log though, it's not burnt at boot [07:02] Lee_Prison: \ seem to escape $ in script [07:02] you can enable the deepest level of kernel logging as well (log level 8, do this in grub.conf) and that will give you very detailed messages if it is a kernel issue [07:02] im thinking of upgrading my windows servers to the better *free* alternative ubuntu server, how good of performance can i expect as conpared to a windows machine hosting the same functions? [07:02] zeroedout, there's nothing useful in xorg.0.log [07:03] zeroedout, ugh, thanks but why isn't that sort of thing turned on by default? it's never helpful after the fact when people wonder what happened. [07:03] DJHenjin: "same functions" are? [07:03] loglevel 8 will slow things down [07:03] kinda like how there's no logging enabled for Vino when there's a freaking vulnerability in the wild. [07:03] apache webserver, MySQL server, Email server [07:03] also you can run specific componants in gdb and strace to create useful crash reports [07:04] zeroedout, oh. [07:04] DJHenjin, I have always prefered a *nix based server. They seem to be more stable to me. As far as hosting goes, in my opinion it should be a lot faster, But if you have never used *nix then there will be a learning curve [07:04] heh, running gdb and causing a crash would imply I knew what crashed or caused the problem :P [07:04] i have used *nix based systems before, but not fully to the extend that i would like to [07:05] does ubuntu server offer any kind of clustering? [07:05] DJHenjin, For my clients I install unbuntu then install ehcp control panel for hosting. [07:05] Hello there folks [07:06] It will set everything up for you. I have never had a issue where I had to configure more then just simple settings. [07:06] qin:maybe,but man ls |grep "\-o" works. [07:06] ehcp control panel? [07:06] DJHenjin, What type of clustering are you looking for managment? [07:06] magn3ts: lol, true... try reproducing the crash and document what you do that causes it. then try running various things in gdb to see if there is anything out of the ordinary [07:06] Yes its a opensource web based control panel. [07:07] qin:Oh,sorry [07:07] well, i have to spread the MySQL webserver email server and minecraft server over 3 physical machines [07:07] Lee_Prison: but if you escape the $ ("\$2") your expression is "man foo|grep $2" "$2" literally [07:07] which i would like to run *as though* they are a single machine, with a degree of failover [07:07] DJHenjin: I have an email/dns/web server on nix with about 100 people on it uses under a gig of ram and almost no cpu [07:07] the minecraft server is the kicker, also the age of my physical servers [07:08] 2 single core 3.0GHZ processors 2 GB of ram... [07:08] Requires installation of untrusted packages for pitivi error in ubuntu 11.04 how do i fix this problem? [07:08] Is there a way to make the date/time indicator display the month number instead of name? I'd prefer "17.6." to the current "17. Juneta" (which itself is buggy). [07:08] DjMadness, With the exception of Clustering to control managment I have never had to spread anything out like that. I have a webserver that has over 1k websites on it and you would never know it. We do have a seperate server for mysql and the mail. [07:08] 1k like 1 thousand seperate site? what are the specs on that beast [07:09] Yes. 1000 sites. [07:09] Dual quad core xeon with 16 gigs ram [07:09] no wonder you have 1 thousand sites... [07:10] DJHenjin, What type of specs are on your boxes? [07:10] llutz_: i see,but how to solve the problem? [07:10] 2 single core 3.0 GHZ processors 2 GB ram, dual gigabit nic's [07:10] 2 73 gig 15k RPM HDD's [07:11] cost of 3 servers $500, knowing what to do with them, Priceless [07:11] I want to move the /home directory to /mnt/users. Is it possible ? [07:11] DJHenjin, Imho you should not need to spread it out that much. [07:12] wladston, why would you want to do that [07:12] wladston: yes [07:12] the MySQL databases are huge [07:12] DJHenjin, Yea i have a 60gig mysql db. === Guest82337 is now known as Lasers [07:12] bazhang_: because my first partition got filled :/ [07:12] DJHenjin: how ? [07:12] how what? [07:12] Where you get the bandwidth? [07:13] littlebearz, for what? [07:13] aleksil: I think that the date display is controlled by your regional settings. In the region configuration there *should* be a tab dedicated to time/date formats. Not on Ubuntu now, so I can't give you detailed instructions. [07:13] DJHenjin: ops, sorry, that was for adurodea [07:13] adurodea: how ? [07:13] Bandwidth is like 2.00 per gb [07:13] wladston: create a new partition, copy the contents of /home to it, mount that partition as /home [07:13] Lee_Prison: arg=$(echo '\'$2) [07:13] littlebearz, not at all i have a unmetered gigabit connection. [07:13] tsimpson: but that partition can't be just for /home [07:13] !home | wladston see this also [07:13] wladston see this also: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [07:14] Oh wow. Must be expensive [07:14] Lee_Prison: so: man $1 | grep "$arg" [07:14] wladston: cp -pr /home /mnt/users change /etc/passwd and set the home to /mnt/users/$USER> [07:14] I know how to move it to a different partition. I wanted to "point" it to somewhere else [07:14] littlebearz, It really depends on where you host / rent your server. The place I am with has unmetered 100mbit servers for like 150$ per month [07:14] qin: "\\$2" works too [07:14] wladston: you could bind-mount the new homedir [07:14] if I have ubuntu desktop installed on a machine, is it possible to make it into a server without reinstalling (the CD drive doesn't work)? [07:14] query: is the ubuntu wiki giving 500s for others? [07:14] Lee_Prison: I guess in #bash they will give you elegant solution. [07:14] wladston: just use a bind mount [07:14] So... an autoconf question I guess... what is this ".deps" folder that winds up behind when I build something from an autoconf configure file? [07:15] tsimpson: grep gives err with \\ [07:15] wladston: bind /mnt/users to /home [07:15] Mines 150 for3 years for 1 site [07:15] DJHenjin, I would start by getting 1 server compleatly setup and let it host everything, if you find yourself in a crunch for resources you could always use the 2nd server for just db and mail. [07:15] tsimpson, llutz : thanks! will google about this bind mount [07:15] More importantly: If somebody checked ".deps" into source control... would I be correct that this was a huge mistake? [07:16] the minecraft server software currently uses 80+ percent CPU usage, and its the main draw on the MySQL which i would like to seperate into seperate physical machines, and the apache needs to be on the same machine as the MySQL [07:16] Why does it have to be on the same machine? [07:16] because of the way a couple of the sites are setup [07:17] DB is hardcoded into the site [07:17] guys I love Ubuntu hate Unity ... where do I protest to avoid this road to hell [07:17] Ouch [07:17] You can still span them across machines but would need a code rewrite =X [07:17] CodeWar, use classic instead [07:17] yeah, [07:17] wladston: in /etc/fstab, something like "/mnt/users /home none bind 0 0", which is equivalent to the command "mount /mnt/users /home -o bind" [07:17] !classic | CodeWar [07:17] CodeWar: 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". [07:17] bazhang_, not the same ... there are bugs with compiz that dont work with classic [07:18] CodeWar, file some bugs then [07:18] DJHenjin, I have a user running a minecraft server and its not using that much ram , or proc. How many users use yours? [07:18] oh and then theres the fact that the minecraft server needs to write some files into a specific directory on the apache [07:18] wladston: just make sure that /home is empty before you bind /mnt/users to it, or mount will probably complain [07:18] DJHenjin, You can for lack of a better term symlink those. [07:18] tsimpson: right! :) I'm trying here [07:18] Nobgul-BNC is he using the server software from mojang or something else? [07:18] I want to make a larger difference... create a voice to prevent Unitification of Ubuntu :-) I m sure there are other pissed of ubuntu users [07:18] like say Bukkit which supports plugins [07:18] DJHenjin, From the official site. He knows the developer. === Rez is now known as LoRez [07:19] CodeWar, this is not the place for that. file bugs if you wish === mint is now known as Guest96690 [07:19] wheres a good dir to store ssl certs? [07:19] so from minecraft.net then? [07:19] I was wondering if it makes sense to run Linux Mint only from my USB key and not install it [07:19] Yup [07:19] Never really dug into it as it doesnt cause me andy problems. [07:19] Guest96690, ask in mintsupport [07:19] any* [07:19] !mintsupport | Guest96690 [07:19] Guest96690: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:19] DJHenjin, Its a jarfile hes running with a few args. [07:20] i use bukkit, which is from Bukkit.org, with that i run plugins which slightly modify the entire play experience, adding money and stuff like that, i run approximately 30 of said plugins, which causes a higher load [07:21] What about running Ubuntu from the USB key and not installing it on the hard drive? [07:21] DJHenjin, How many visitors are there to your site? even with your box specs i am thinking that apache + minecraft may not be a issue. [07:21] oin #platform [07:21] Guest96690, slow, but sure. check out persistent usb [07:21] !usb | Guest96690 [07:21] Guest96690: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:21] DJHenjin, If you are using 80% cpu underwindows i would think that it would be 1/2 less in *nix. [07:22] tsimpson: rebooting .... let's pray the server won't crash [07:22] i get at leats 1k unique users per day approx [07:22] Reason I want to do that is, it would be nice to switch computers and retain all of my files and settings and everything. I can also run Ubuntu on someone else's computer without annoying him by installing Ubuntu [07:22] now, does ubuntu support NIC teaming? [07:23] Guest96690, thus the need for persistent (last link there) [07:23] yes [07:23] yeah you can run Ubuntu off a usb stick, it wont be optimal but its sure faster than a CD [07:23] so i can have essential a 2 gigabit connection assuming ive got gigabit cables and router/switch? [07:23] Yes. [07:24] As long as you don't surpass the speed of the cards of course. [07:24] the cards are gigabit nics [07:24] Then you should be fine.I have 2 cards but one is redundant incase the other losses connectivity [07:25] would it be better for interconnect between the minecraft machine and the MySQL machine to use a gigabit crossover cable and link them directly to each other? [07:25] tsimpson: worked just like a charm. server is now copying the homefolders to the new location [07:25] tsimpson: thanks :) [07:25] hey folks whats going here? [07:25] wladston: you're welcome [07:25] Psydoll_, ubuntu support [07:25] thusly keeping that link completely dedicated to the MC<->MySQL communications [07:25] DJHenjin, again I really can't speak for that as I never have had to do it. [07:26] Hey I can't get a correct display on my Dell Latitude D800 [07:26] anyone? [07:27] ???? [07:27] Ask your question then sip a cup of coffee [07:27] !details | nabeel [07:27] nabeel: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:27] now quick question, my server isnt in the list of certified servers for ubuntu 10.04 server X64 [07:28] Hi guys [07:28] is that a problem? [07:28] DJHenjin, Do you need to run 64 bit? [07:28] yes [07:28] DJHenjin: Probably would still run, I mean, it's a damn server, just the text mode. [07:28] How do you set the default IP settings for all wireless connections on a wireless card? [07:28] i hate textmode [07:28] DJHenjin, in my experience naw, i have never had something that would not run ubuntu [07:28] !wifi | bluegoon please have a read [07:28] bluegoon please have a read: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:28] DJHenjin: Then you shouldn't use Ubuntu Server [07:28] DJHenjin, your 100% gonna be using text mode. [07:29] sadly, im one of those users that really badly needs a gui [07:29] Hi all. I want to set up a script that will run and take a screenshot of my desktop every X minutes and save them to a folder. I've found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1691198 but apparently it doesn't quite get the file names right. Anyone know how to do this? [07:29] I have a desktop on my server but thats just to keep some always on programs on. [07:29] why "100% using text mode" [07:29] aurilliance: Check scrot out [07:29] DJHenjin: Ubuntu Server does NOT even have a gui [07:29] theadmin: will do. Ty [07:29] Because that is the way that linux servers work for the most part they are all text. [07:29] isnt there an x server? [07:29] desktop [07:29] And you can add it in like i have to the server. [07:30] I an running Natty; Display card "nvidia Geforce 4400, and using additional experimental drivers, the pointer is distorted. I was using nvidia 96.x drivers with lucid but after upgrading this problem arosed. [07:30] but its not the best option [07:30] DJHenjin: No, there's not, use the desktop edition if you want one [07:30] but then its not a server OS... [07:30] DJHenjin: That doesn't make any difference [07:30] install lamp DJHenjin [07:30] o rly [07:30] Anybody here understands pppd chat scripts? [07:30] !lamp > DJHenjin [07:30] DJHenjin, please see my private message [07:30] DJHenjin: They're the same, just the software you get is different [07:30] Yeah [07:31] i already use wamp so same difference [07:31] I use archlinux personally [07:31] Bottom line is you can install x server into the server distro [07:31] littlebearz: gooood [07:31] You need to use vnc to connect. [07:31] oy vey [07:32] That is why i suggested the control panel. [07:32] You basically install it once via command line. then everythine else u need to do you do via web [07:32] like installing something through the web interface? [07:33] You can yes. [07:33] qin: I appreciate your solution,thx ,qin [07:33] It basically passes the commandsa through a php script and installs [07:33] Webmin [07:33] now, how about this, i need to monitor temp sensors on my machines can it do that? [07:33] Yes [07:33] even for dell proprietary hardware? [07:33] Lee_Prison: Forgot it, use: grep -e "$2" or grep -- "$2" [07:33] There are scripts to do that and send you e-mails if it is out of range [07:33] hi... after my ubuntu10.10 update, i cant open flash pages... it installed by dpkg -l | grep flash but i cant use it. pls help me.. tx [07:34] Any downsides to using normal gnome in 11.04? [07:34] DJHenjin, I can't speak for your hardware but for mine yes. [07:34] well then, i might just have to go grab my spare server and install 10.10 server on it [07:34] shinobilord, what is normal [07:34] DJHenjin, I would suggest that. Do some putzing around before you make the move. [07:35] thats why i have a spare server [07:35] keyword, spare [07:35] The other alternative is to get a cheap vps and just play with that. [07:35] bazhang_: the option to choose regular gnome without unity on bootup [07:35] but i already has spare server for lulz [07:35] ... [07:35] shinobilord, thats classic, no problems [07:35] dont really need a VPS if i have one on hand ready to roll out [07:36] in a way I see this as an ubuntu problem, I can not delete files from my trash can [07:36] kiichiro, using what command [07:36] I agree DJHenjin. Just giving options. [07:36] bazhang_: are certain things disabled? or do functions have to be re-enabled specifically for classic? [07:36] ill brb in about ten minutes, gonna grab my spare server and DL the ubuntu server ISO [07:36] hi... after my ubuntu10.10 update, i cant open flash pages... it installed by dpkg -l | grep flash but i cant use it. pls help me.. tx [07:36] Sahar, what is "it" [07:37] qin: oh, it's perfect! [07:37] flash is installed [07:37] should i get 11.04 server? [07:37] shinobilord, just choose at login window [07:37] or go to an older more proven release? [07:37] Sahar, from where [07:37] I just go to my trash can and hit empty [07:37] tells me can not delete [07:37] DJHenjin it is what i am using [07:38] bazhang_: yeah, I know that but would all my settings be enabled? [07:38] tehran [07:38] hi... after my ubuntu10.10 update, i cant open flash pages... it installed by dpkg -l | grep flash but i cant use it. pls help me.. tx [07:38] Sahar, where was flash installed from [07:38] shinobilord, sure [07:38] bazhang_: cheers mate [07:38] well isnt that fun, i clicked the download link and it wont download [07:39] adobe flash in installed [07:39] shinobilord, try unity-2d if you want a lower spec version as well [07:39] Sahar, yes. stop repeating that. where did you get the flash to install [07:39] where can i get a direct download link so i can right click-> save as [07:40] i use apt-get install flash and it installed 2 week ago...but now it does not work [07:40] Sahar, and you have updated and upgraded since then? [07:40] yesterday [07:40] why when I press unlock on gdmsetup nothing happens, simply because I am running over ssh -X? [07:41] i cannot download using the link on the ubuntu.com site [07:42] Why not. [07:42] 1 second [07:42] because my web browser doesnt allo left click downloads for some messed up reason [07:42] http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ DJHenjin [07:43] that 64 bit image says AMD, my processors are intel... [07:43] DJHenjin, can u grab a torrent? [07:43] DJHenjin, thats fine, its the same [07:43] yeah i can do torrent [07:43] probably faster [07:44] !torrents [07:44] Natty can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/desktop/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/server/ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [07:44] DJHenjin, see above [07:44] there u go =P [07:44] DJHenjin, bazhang_ link will right click save as [07:44] nd to answer your question. yes the amd64 will work with intel [07:44] As amd was the first 64 bit that's why it is named that way [07:45] alright well brb in 10 minutes gotta grab my server, [07:45] Well have fun, I am off for the night. its 3 am here and i need sleeps [07:45] and then the main reason i was going to do it right now is gone. oh well [07:45] I can wait =P [07:45] Others can help [07:46] nah, you can go to sleep, you probably need it more than i do [07:46] my flash is installed but yesterday i get update and after that it doesnt work . when i wanna install again it says it already installed [07:46] Ill just grab another beer =P [07:46] only if you want [07:46] How do I make it so that any (or at least a specific) non-root user is allowed to establish PPP connections using pppd? [07:46] sure go for it ill be back in 5 [07:46] I have a variable $DELAY in my .sh file, which equals 1. I want to sleep for 1 minute, but writing sleep $DELAYm doesn't work - how do I put the m next to the 1? [07:47] aurilliance: Crazy idea? Just use 60. [07:47] Lasers: *facepalm* [07:47] no one cant help mee [07:47] aurilliance, there is a sleep command is there not? [07:48] aurilliance: If you prefer 1 -- See #bash -- They can help you properly with quotes and whatnot. [07:48] Sahar, FF browser? adobe flash? [07:48] aurilliance, If i rmember correctly its just sleep time ie: sleep 5 [07:48] yes i used adobe flash [07:48] Sahar, which browser [07:48] fire fox yessss [07:49] it worked tiill yesterday [07:49] aurilliance: "sleep ${DELAY}m" [07:49] Sahar, install the FF add on flash aid it will most likely fix it. [07:49] why is an adobe flash plugin 65 mb in ubuntu? [07:49] A simple plugin even larger than the browser [07:50] Sorry everyone, something seems to have crashed my system so I was off [07:50] nit-wit, but it is enable in addoness [07:51] Is there a light flash plugin for mozilla? [07:51] newbeee, no [07:51] Something that is light in size [07:51] newbeee: no, there is only one adobe flash [07:52] Sahar, click on the icon to run it, should be one on the right side of the FF panel [07:52] Ok guys thanx [07:52] HI guys, my Additional Drives say Driver is Activated but not currently in use..

[07:55] setting up bootable USB [07:55] now on the server [07:55] DamnSoGood: Not sure I can help. Sure it's the latest? Have you ran /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup yet? [07:55] DamnSoGood, try #vbox [07:55] Nobgul-BNC: no its my home ntfs drive that suddenly refused to write nntpgrab downloading [07:56] ooh this servers got slightly better specs than the other two [07:56] What file stores the HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE environment variables? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-productivitytips.html I'd like to increas them. [07:56] yes, but seems nothing happened [07:56] bullgard4: usually ~/.bashrc [07:56] I just issued "sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd", but I still get a "permission denied" when I try to run pppd as nonroot. What am I missing? [07:56] lotuspsychje, sorry no help from me I have only seen that error with parrlys or w/e the vps thing is. [07:57] bullgard4: I don't think they are set by default though, so you just append them to the file [07:57] Result Code: [07:57] NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) [07:57] Component: [07:57] Machine [07:57] Interface: [07:57] IMachine {99404f50-dd10-40d3-889b-dd2f79f1e95e} [07:57] DamnSoGood: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:57] k_sze: s? What kind of a permission s is? The only valid ones are rwx [07:57] DamnSoGood, what kernel did you upgrade? from what to what and using which version of ubuntu [07:57] theadmin: I thought u+s means setuid, no? [07:58] k_sze: Hm, never heard [07:58] k_sze: Didn't have to deal with that, sorry [07:59] now, my servers dont have hardware raid, but i would like to setup raid 1 on this server, is there an option in the ubuntu server 11.04 to setup software raid? [07:59] k_sze: it's suid by default, but you need to be in the "dip" group to execute it [07:59] DJHenjin, yea [08:00] tsimpson: I found it there. Is "export HISTSIZE=10000" all right? [08:00] tsimpson: What's the dip group for? [08:00] bullgard4: that should work, yes [08:00] i'm using mint 9 from 31.XX to 32.32 [08:00] DJHenjin, when your installing you have to use the manual partition method [08:00] DamnSoGood, then go to mintsupport [08:00] DamnSoGood: We don't support Mint, also version 9 is out of date [08:00] tsimpson: Thank you very much for your help. [08:00] !mintsupport | DamnSoGood [08:00] DamnSoGood: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [08:00] oh god, not manual partitions again [08:01] lol yea [08:01] Nobgul-BNC: ok tnx anyway [08:01] There are a few how-to's [08:01] 73 gig drives, so 3 gig swap per drive 70 gig ext3?

[08:02] DJHenjin, i always use 2x the ammount of ram for swap xspace [08:02] DamnSoGood, mint is not supported here [08:02] so 4 gigs per drive? [08:02] DamnSoGood: Mint is not upgradable. [08:02] I would yes [08:02] tsimpson: so "sudo useradd -G dip " should do it, eh? [08:02] at 2 gigs *hehhehehe* ram [08:02] k_sze: Without the -G [08:03] theadmin: how can i reinstall vox? [08:03] vbox* [08:03] DamnSoGood, please stop asking for mint support here. [08:03] I thought it created the swap auto for you [08:03] not in manual partitioning? [08:03] bazhang_: would you please shut the fck up? [08:03] theadmin: oops, adduser is for *new* users [08:04] DamnSoGood: First just re-run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup please [08:04] k_sze: Works for old ones too [08:04] k_sze: You can always do usermod -aG group user [08:04] k_sze: use "sudo usermod -a -G dip " [08:04] anyone knows what this means: ntfs-3g[807]: Inode 42976 has corrupt attribute flags (0x8000 <> 0x20): Invoer-/uitvoerfout [08:05] lotuspsychje: Try running a fsck or a chkdsk (from windows) on the partition [08:05] okay booting up USB on the server [08:06] jusy sshed into my own computer, didn't know I could do that [08:06] strange, I did "sudo usermod -aG dip alice" and I still can't use pppd. [08:06] theadmin: would it be recommended to format all drives in ext? [08:06] how would I ssh into a particular computer on my network.. I tired computername@localhost but that didn't work [08:06] lotuspsychje: As much as Windows compatibility is out of question, yes [08:06] k_sze: you need to logout/in for the new permissions to apply [08:06] no takers for enable cube in 11.04 classic gnome? [08:06] ah, didn't know that. [08:06] jtannenbaum, ipaddress [08:06] shinobilord, try #compiz [08:07] jtannenbaum, local ie: 192.168.1.1 [08:07] yeah, I did mate [08:07] jtannenbaum: it's ssh user_name@computer_name_or_IP [08:07] jtannenbaum: wut? It's username@computername [08:07] theadmin: how can i reinstall virtual box? [08:07] DamnSoGood: Delete it and install again [08:07] DamnSoGood: Mint is not supported in this channel [08:08] ssh: connect to host joe-hspc port 22: Connection timed out [08:08] DamnSoGood: But I tell you, stop bugging this channel with Mint support questions or you'll be kicked [08:08] bazhang_: I'm in it. It's enabled. U might remember that I asked u if things got disabled. Well, here's a new one for u. They DO! [08:08] jtannenbaum they don't have sshd running [08:08] or firewalled [08:08] Or its running on a non standard port [08:08] awesome. I think I got it. [08:08] i'm not asking about mint, is vbox only for mint? [08:08] Thanks tsimpson [08:08] booted off USB [08:08] DamnSoGood, #vbox [08:08] all I did was sudo tasksel and chose openssh [08:09] I didn't set anything else up [08:09] (I also set up LAMP) [08:09] DamnSoGood: This channel won't help you if they know you run something other than Ubuntu, that's the rule [08:09] A very stupid one at that, heh, but still === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [08:10] shinobilord: i also tryed cube on natty 64 classic and failed on me [08:10] alright im to the partitioner, what do i do now? [08:10] theadmin: it's not a stupid rule considering that we have no control/clue about how have changed , it's not an arbitrary rule [08:10] manual? [08:11] DJHenjin, its a bit old but. should get the trick done. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [08:12] lotuspsychje: cheers dude. I wish other people wouldn't dish out advice glibly [08:12] tsimpson: Yes, but supporting parts that WERE NOT changed should imo still be done [08:13] shinobilord: maybe its related with unity disabling, cube wont work properly in classic? [08:13] theadmin: the parts that were not changed can still be affected by those that were [08:13] theadmin: we can't tell what was/wasn't changed, and we're not going to invest the limited man-power we have in doing that [08:13] IdleOne, tsimpson: Meh okay. Other distros are fine with supporting derivs, just saying. Mostly. [08:13] shinobilord: did you update to natty or clean install? [08:14] theadmin: heh, go ask for Ubuntu support in #debian and tell me that :) [08:14] Has anyone created a program that will read Zune media players? [08:14] theadmin: nothing is stopping you from helping people who use mint, join their channel or start your own here on freenode :) [08:14] lotuspsychje: I disabled that. Didn't work. Suddenly everything unchecked - by itself. But nothing changed. I'll just import my saved profile :). Actually, I updated. Could be why. [08:14] IdleOne: I can't start my own channels since then nobody'll come to them, it's my big problem [08:15] shinbilord: i found natty smoother on compiz after clean install (64bit) [08:15] 'Why does the mc file viewer (F3 key) in my Lucid computer not show the keywords of a program text colorfully? But my Natty's mc does. [08:16] lotuspsychje: will consider it. Thanks mate. For now I'll just hack away some more [08:17] i think i have got raid setup, 71.3 GB software raid 1 and 2.1 GB software raid 1 [08:17] hi, how is called the basic wifi network manager in ubuntu please ? [08:17] hmm, getting no root filesystem is defined [08:18] shinobilord: http://askubuntu.com/questions/40590/desktop-cube-compiz-gnome-and-natty-narwhal-bad-mix [08:18] azm, network-manager [08:18] I installed wifi-radar and it sucks [08:18] bazhang_, thanks [08:19] azm, try wicd then [08:19] in a gemspec, how do I tell rdoc to use README.org as the main page? Specifically will it work for *.org? [08:19] noric: I think you'd be best off asking in #ruby or something [08:20] 71.3 GB as ext4 and rest as swap? [08:20] theadmin, oh wrong channel thanks =d [08:22] noric: Nice language choice btw [08:24] am i right in using ext4 with mount point / ? [08:24] used nmap to find the IP of the machine. yay laziness [08:25] is there any way to upgrade from jaunty? Trying to use the upgrade-manager -d which attempts 10.04.2 LTS it fails with an error from tar. I can't update jaunty packages due to the archive 404ing [08:25] if i messed this up im screwed, i hope i got it right [08:26] how can install filename.so in ubuntu [08:26] prabhakar, whats the package [08:26] sorry DJHenjin, If you follow the guide i linked you should be fine. I have never had to manually partition my drives. [08:27] adobeflash.so [08:27] it made me setup mount points and stuff, it got really weird fast [08:27] prabhakar: Move that to your browser's plugins folder [08:27] *nix has a way of getting weird fast =P [08:28] should i encrypt the home directory? [08:28] If you want to . [08:28] it contains tar.gz [08:28] i dont think i really need to [08:28] If someone gains access to the pc and its encrypted then it will be harder for them to get at the files. [08:28] i wont really be usint /home [08:28] For control+alt+F2 what username/password do I use for it? [08:29] but it will slow down performance [08:29] For me in a server enviro the only thing that i have in /home are install's [08:29] and or .tar.gz files [08:29] exactly [08:29] im not puttins sensitive data in /home [08:29] kiichiro: yours, it's just text login [08:30] woot configuring apt [08:30] broswer folder where i find [08:30] prabhakar, Internet browser and or your website root? [08:30] this thing should run pretty darned fast when its done compared to windoze right? [08:30] Yes it should [08:31] Personally i never run 64 bit anything. Even this home pc i run 32 bit [08:31] prabhakar, If you are looking for something you can drop into a terminal window and type whereis "program" [08:31] now i have 3 choices, no automatic updates, install security updates automaticall, or manage system with landscape? [08:31] can you tell commands to install install_flash_player_10_linux.tr.gz [08:32] im guessing install security updates automatically? [08:32] I would.

[08:32] hrm seem to have the launcher in unity stuck. ie it's not autohiding [08:32] I would not [08:33] probably samba [08:33] If you are going to use a web based control panel [08:33] i would let it install lamp [08:33] As it will configure it and you dont have to muk around [08:33] well yeah, ill be installing lamp [08:33] and samba [08:33] What i mean is [08:33] Are you going to to use webmin or shcp? [08:33] ehcp [08:34] ehcp [08:34] then do not install lamp [08:34] it will install it for you [08:34] and configure everything. [08:34] k [08:34] webmin [08:34] I would do samba. [08:34] so, if im running minecraft which is java should i install tomcat java server? [08:34] no you need the reg sunos one [08:34] vmm host? [08:35] >_< [08:35] oh come on, im a windows server user, [08:35] lol [08:35] I don't think i installed it [08:35] is there a native MySQL for ubuntu? or do i need postgresql [08:36] but i can't think of what it is either [08:36] Is ubuntu ever going to upgrade to gnome 3? [08:36] there is mysql but that will install with lamp [08:36] when you do ehcp [08:36] oh yeah [08:36] i almost want to say vmn is a vmware thing [08:36] so just mail server and samba then, what about manual package selection? [08:36] nope [08:36] no mail server [08:36] ehcp will handle that [08:36] vm host is for virtual machines yeah [08:37] so just samba then [08:37] Yea anything else you need later you can add easilyt [08:37] you can install mysql without lamp... [08:37] i need help guys [08:38] and or you can let ehcp install it and configure it [08:38] When i run Ubuntu startup disk, it gives me error, "prefix" is not set [08:38] i installed xp using virtual box but xp not recognize pendrives [08:38] ill let ehcp install lamp [08:38] what [08:38] Guys [08:38] are you passing the drives to virtualbox? [08:38] my motherboard is msi motherboard v-class [08:38] it dont have a startup disk button, so i had to use the third option, but it gives me "PRefix" is not set [08:39] I'm running Gnome sensors-applet and I see temp1 and temp2 sensors, but I don't know what they represent. Is there a way to know what those sensors mean (GPU, HDD..)? [08:39] udragonster82 ,u can put os cd in cd rom and try it [08:39] I tried it already [08:39] Lol [08:39] my motherboard doesnt have the "boot cd" option during startup [08:40] Anyone? [08:40] umm [08:40] go into your cmos editor [08:40] lotuspsychje: done! Cube is back up including all the other snazzy window switchers in 11.04. No need for a complete re-install. Just a matter of configuring compiz and using "compiz --replace". Not straigthforward but definitely doable! :) [08:40] how old is the computer? [08:40] BIOS [08:40] Yeah [08:40] BIOS then? [08:40] My computer doesnt have anything to do with it [08:40] lol [08:40] I recently bought a new motherboard [08:40] thats what.

[08:41] is the hotkey [08:41] otherwise won't annoy me at all with it [08:41] xp or any image file cd [08:41] Lol kkkkkkk [08:41] good for u kiichiro, im jealous ( LOL) ) [08:42] im gunna try it now, thnx guys [08:42] oh crap "device for boot loader installation" ??? [08:42] DJHenjin: usually /dev/sda [08:42] im using raid... [08:42] software raid [08:42] novitololo: not really, but if there are only 2 one will be CPU temp and one will be case temp, the highest will be CPU [08:42] hey [08:43] and i cant remember what it called the raid device [08:43] probably /dev/raid0 [08:43] tsimpson: I have a dual core, and I can see those temperatures as Core0, Core1. I have two extras called temp1, temp2... [08:43] should still be sda sdb sdc [08:43] one physical drive was sdb and the other sdc [08:43] any way i can find out without restarting the entire install? [08:44] or should i leave it as what it put in, '/dev/md' [08:44] yer its md [08:45] so leave it as is then [08:45] yea it cant hurt it [08:45] execution 'grub-install /dev/md' failed [08:45] try md0 [08:45] testing [08:46] hey [08:46] hi [08:46] frick [08:47] not md0 not raid0 [08:47] did you try sda1 [08:47] what if its not the raid array? [08:47] in ubuntu 10.10 suddenly sound collapsed what can i do [08:48] sda1 is probably the USB drive im booting off of [08:48] Without being able to drop to a prompt to check im not sure how to tell [08:49] prabhakar, collapsed? have you tried restarting? [08:49] And I don't think that the usb drive whould show up as a mount point. esp not sda1 [08:49] yes when sound is closed i restart system its verry big task [08:50] i get to a menu after grub install fails, where i can drop to a shell, [08:50] Nobgul-BNC the USB is hard drive emulated [08:50] I figured that after i typed. [08:50] 'Why does the mc file viewer (F3 key) in my Lucid computer not show the keywords of a program text colorfully? But my Natty's mc does. [08:50] My motherboard does the same thing.

[08:54] and doesnt have a valid partition table either [08:55] now i really need help [08:56] i need help with vpn [08:56] not working at all [08:56] Is it possible to use Xvesa instead of Xorg? how can I set it up? [08:57] Xvesa no,but vesa yes [08:57] well [08:57] anything but Xorg will work [08:57] can anyone help me figure this out?

[08:59] ok [08:59] msx78 you have to do : gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and modify in this string ( Section "Device" --- Identifier "Videocard0" ----- Driver "vesa") [08:59] any review for bt5? [08:59] Can I search within files? [08:59] text files [09:00] cypha: use grep [09:00] lukafulmine: if the file doesn't exist, create and saving it in that path, will work? [09:00] I want a query of all files that say “*myproject.views* [09:00] “ [09:00] within the text of the file [09:01] im attempting to setup software raid1 in ubuntu server 11.04, i got to the point where it wanted me to install grub2 onto a disk. /dev/md0 being my ext4 partition for the software raid is what i tried, grub failed to install to it, so i dropped to a shell and listed all my drives, at which point i found out /dev/md0 (ext4) and /dev/md1 (swap) both do not have a valid partition table, how fix? [09:01] no, because in default there is this file, try to search it, (different name???) [09:01] hey everyone. How do I mark a set of packages in the update manager that should not be upgraded? Ubuntu wants to upgrade my firefox to FF5 all the time, but I don't want that (yet) due to incompatible plugins. But the update manager keeps suggesting the update [09:01] Any idea why my CD/DVD is showing as floppy0? [09:02] msx78 this is the guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 [09:03] thank you [09:03] better bullgard4 ?

[09:04] DJHenjin: Yes.

But my Natty's mc does. [09:11] im trying to install to software raid 1 on ubuntu 110.6 64 bit server edition,, im new to this and need help [09:11] 11.04 sorry [09:11] bullgard4: Well, Natty probably has a newer mc version with some cool features [09:11] theadmin: Yes. [09:11] thanks llutz_ [09:11] :) [09:12] well that plan failed entirely. maybe someone new is around that can help : I have source code for a version of a library newer than what's in the repositories. I want to install it without having to remove the hundreds of dependencies the old library has. Not breaking half of the system in doing this would be nice too :P [09:12] will i be able to get help with this issue or should i expect to be patronized because im not using automatic partitioning [09:12] hi....my ubuntu one account need to be connected manually after every startup.is there any way so that Ubuntu one can start synchronisation automatically ? [09:12] how can i remove/disable the "shut down computer" in unity (natty)? [09:13] Airris: install it into some custom prefix? [09:13] d_atharva, is your auto user login enabled? [09:13] mgolisch : will the programs hunting for this newer version still be able to find it? [09:14] petrolman : I dont know ...how to chek for it ? [09:14] Airris: How about dpkg --no-force-deps -P that_library ? [09:14] d_atharva, do you need to enter a password at startup ob Ubuntu ? [09:14] Airris:youll mostlikely have to write a startscript that changes LD_LIBRARY_PATH [09:15] thats how i would do it, that way it does not affect any of the system installed stuff [09:16] theadmin, what will that do? hunting for --no-force-deps in the man pages [09:16] haven't found it yet [09:16] I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a virtual box on WindowsXP. I am trying to setup ssh port forwarding but the command just hangs and nothing happens. After a while I get connection time out. ssh -L8000:localhost:8000 server.com -N What could be the reason? [09:16] Airris: It's for ignoring dependencies if I recall right [09:16] Airris: err, sorry, it's --no-force-depends [09:17] Airris: Or, there is --ignore-depends [09:18] Airris: Not sure which of these does what *exactly*, cause the only package manager I have near me is pacman, not dpkg [09:19] well then, i guess it was pointless to think i could get any help [09:20] theadmin, ok let me experiment with this a bit, there's the --simulate option for me to try before ripping this system to pieces :D [09:20] since i'm replacing libjpeg. a crapton of applications are going to go boom if i get this wrong === RichiH_ is now known as RichiH [09:23] Airris: if your version is newer than the repos one, it shouldn't break anything. build a deb with correct version numbering. most packages depend on libs "version xxx or higher" [09:23] net split :) [09:24] llutz, what won't break anything ? I'm still not entirely sure what i'm supposed to be doing here. Trying to remove libjpeg62 and install libjpeg8c from source in commandline was the best idea i had. If something simplier would work that'd be great [09:25] How do I make keyring log me in automatically at startup. I am using ubuntu 11.04 [09:25] !checkinstall | Airris [09:25] Airris: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [09:25] yea i know about that part :) Just do i need to uninstall the old library before doing that? === marienz is now known as 92AAC5BT0 [09:25] Airris: If the package is named the same, actually not [09:26] how can i migrate from an encrypted folder to a non-encrypted folder [09:26] srsly dudes, why dont you just compile it by hand and write a startscript for that app that needs the newer lib? === 92AAC5BT0 is now known as marienz [09:27] theadmin, how would i find out if they're the same? [09:27] Airris: Err... Specify the package name as the same one as one you have installed when checkinstall'ing [09:27] Airris: they aren't libjpeg62 != libjpeg8c [09:28] what's this called? http://render.groupon-content.net/farm/v1/barcode/qrcode/base64url/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ncm91cG9uLXBhcnRuZXIuY29tL3JlZGVlbS9Ra016TkRJeU1EUkJRZy9PVGN6THprM05EYy8zOTU0MTMvMTQxNDUwMDk/150/150.png [09:28] a url ? [09:28] installing ubuntu server 11.04 64 bit, on software raid. manually partitioned disks, creating md0 (ext4) and md1 (swap), trying to install grub2 fails. drop to shell in install menu, run fdisk -l and shows /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 both missing valid partition table, this is second attempt to install. getting frustrated [09:28] linkspam? [09:28] I mean the image type [09:28] Kartagis: A QR code [09:29] hmm, thanks [09:29] Kartagis: is that anything to do with ubuntu [09:29] DJHenjin: do they have partition tables ? [09:29] no [09:29] Kartagis: ok, so please keep the non-ubuntu stuff out please. [09:30] theay are showing as not having valid partition tables [09:30] DJHenjin: that's the problem then [09:30] nooo really,i thought it was because they're in something i own [09:31] DJHenjin: sorry what ? [09:31] nothing i own ever fricking works properly, even when i set it up according to guides online [09:31] DJHenjin: did you create a partition layout on the meta devices ? === priya is now known as amit2011 [09:32] DJHenjin: what guide are you following ? [09:32] tried this one first [09:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [09:33] llutz, theadmin : just to make sure you two aren't disagreeing, so the checkinstall thing will work if i masquerade this new package as the old one's name? [09:33] Can I ask again. How do make keyring log me in automatically at startup on 11.04 [09:33] RVD [09:33] yo yo yo [09:33] DJHenjin: ok , let me have a quick look at that, but did you actually create a partition table on the meta devices ? [09:33] IDK [09:33] im new to this stuff [09:33] Airris: Better listen to llutz_, (s)he's a regular here and IIRC an op too [09:33] ok [09:33] i setup md0 as ext4 [09:34] Airris: I'm not even an Ubuntu user xD [09:34] XD [09:34] DJHenjin: ok - so think of it logcially, a raid disk is just a virtual disk, made up of multiple disks. Can you install to a disk without a partition (and partition table) ? [09:34] i know that [09:34] Airris: that won't work with apps expecting libjpeg8c. better listen to mgolisch :) [09:34] im new to ubuntu, not computers [09:34] DJHenjin: oh, if you know all this, then you should be able to figure it out - bye [09:34] theadmin: i'm not :) [09:34] llutz_: Not what? [09:34] theadmin: op [09:35] llutz_: Oh okay, you totally look like one though xD [09:35] mgolisch, ok... looks like everyone just agreed startup script is the way to go. how do i do that? [09:35] theadmin:nope, channel would be nearly empty if i were :) [09:35] llutz_: looool [09:35] hii [09:36] there people go again patronizing me because im new to linux [09:36] any1 knows how I can find the MBR? [09:36] DJHenjin: no - because you're telling me you know this [09:36] amit2011: Sorry, WUT? [09:36] DJHenjin: when you're installing what raid level are you using ? 0, 1, 5 etc [09:36] I need to install BURG [09:36] when did i tell you that, i said i know how raid works and that you need a partition table to install anything [09:36] amit2011: I don't you "need" BURG [09:36] raid 1 [09:37] llutz_: May I pm you for a sec? I want to wonder why would the channel be "empty" [09:37] It says to specify the partition to install burg [09:37] DJHenjin: ok so in the installer it tells you to select "manual" for the partition layout, did you select manual ? [09:37] yes [09:37] DJHenjin: did you create partitions ? [09:37] r u real dj? [09:37] !topic > sukhi1 [09:37] sukhi1, please see my private message [09:37] theadmin: sure [09:38] on the physical disks, yes [09:38] yes [09:38] DJHenjin: no - on the raid disk - the meta device [09:38] i have read [09:38] DJHenjin: as that's where you are installing, to the meta device [09:38] theres no option to do that anywhere [09:39] l === D_N_X is now known as DNX [09:39] DJHenjin: ok - so just so I'm clear are you doing individual partitions on the disks converted to raid meta devices, or are you doing a whole disk as a raid device, then partitioning the raid device [09:39] Hi. How can I have wicd start at boot? I removed networkmanager and installed wicd and wicd-daemon (using apt-get). But at the moment, I need to start wicd manually: sudo service wicd start. [09:40] i folowed the guide i linked EXACTLY [09:40] DJHenjin: ok - so that explains why they have no partition tables, as the meta devices you've created are partitions of the disks themselves [09:41] DJHenjin: am I correct in thinking your problems is that you're trying to install grub / fix grub ? [09:41] install grub [09:41] mallet`: might be sudo update-rc.d wicd enable [09:41] htis is a fresh install [09:41] DJHenjin: what command are you doing to install grub ? [09:41] the ubuntu 11.04 server installer ISO [09:42] DJHenjin: yes, but that's not worked so what are you doing to fix it [09:42] nothing because im new to ubuntu [09:42] DJHenjin: ok - if you look in the guide you quoted me, it gives you an example of a common grub problem and it's resolution [09:43] which says its fixed in 9.10 and should stand to reason that its fixed in 11.04 [09:43] pksadiq: sounds good. wicd appers in sysv-rc-conf after the command you gave. Thanks! === hamid_ is now known as Guest14313 [09:43] DJHenjin: it doesn't always work depending on your layout and your hardware [09:44] mallet`: np ;) [09:44] hello. can i find in ubuntu something like Dragonfly but with canceled option? [09:45] i tried #grub-install /dev/sdb #grub-install /dev/sdc and it didnt do anything [09:45] DJHenjin: are your disks called /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc ? [09:46] the physical disks yes [09:46] DJHenjin: ah, so you don't have an sda [09:46] sda would be the USB that im booted off of, [09:47] helo ...my wpa/wpa2 doesnot connect automaitcally in ubuntu 10.10 [09:47] DJHenjin: ahhhh you're botting off a usb, did you install from the usb ? [09:47] im attempting to install off the USB [09:47] DJHenjin: try fdisk -l en use pastebin so ikonia can help you [09:47] i have to manually connect to my wifi network each time i log in [09:47] DJHenjin: that may explain why grub didn't get installed correctly [09:48] anyone out please help [09:48] hello for all [09:48] DJHenjin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [09:48] how am i supposed to pastebin something from an install? [09:48] DJHenjin: that will tell you how to re-apply grub to the mbr of your disks, keep in mind you want to apply it to /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc - not a [09:49] DJHenjin: also keep in mind you want to reference physical disks, not the meta disk, as that's not assembled at this point in time [09:49] I'm getting a nasty crash from nautilus whenever I try and do anything involving an external drive, it seems the nautilus-gdu extension is crashing, I'm running a fully updated natty [09:49] some times my mouse tucch pad hang out whic s/w i want to be install [09:50] * Airris headdesks. [09:50] how toupdate nautilus to 3.0.2 form 2.30.2 on my ubuntu 10.10 [09:50] well thanks everyone, it turns out the problem might be something other than this in the first place [09:51] it attempts to do it the first time, and then summons up an infinite number of additional nautiluses, after I manage to kill them all, nautilus crashes after trying to load nautilus-gdu and gives this error http://pastebin.com/GjdjY9Sk [09:51] that'd be good news in a sense that it's still looking like getting libjpeg8 working might be annoying [09:51] not working [09:51] DJHenjin: you can't have done it that quick - you can't have read that document [09:52] joppen: just type on terminal what u want install ubuntu automaticall updated [09:52] its called reading fast, or speedreading. some people reach speeds in excess of 1000 words per minute with comprehension of more than 90% [09:52] DJHenjin: you need comprehension %100 [09:52] DJHenjin: what is the problem, what makes you think it's not working [09:52] of more than 90% includes 100% [09:52] actually wait : one last question : llutz : out of curiosity, what would happen if i just tried to checkinstall libjpeg8 to standard location? Would it override the older library safely, give me an error and refuse, or just plain break everything? [09:53] prabhakar: says natutilus is uptodate [09:53] i want to upgrade to 3.0.2 [09:53] Airris: i don't know for sure, it might overwrite parts of the old version [09:54] llutz, hmm. would dpkg know how to revert it if i uninstalled it afterwords? [09:54] Airris: it should if the deb is ok [09:54] screw it, if its going to be this stupidly complex to get any help at all ill just keep using windows [09:54] llutz, and there's a way to forcibly just reinstall the older package over itself if that doesnt work, right? [09:55] * Airris is thinking about trying this out and seeing if it works [09:55] DJHenjin: ok, [09:55] Airris: yes [09:55] yay! experiment time [09:56] well i'm heading off for the night, going to try doing this. if it doesn't work. ah well. [09:56] thanks llutz [09:56] there has to be an easier way to do this [09:57] DJHenjin: that is the method if the auto installer doesn't work [09:57] no that is the method if theres an existing grub installed and you can boot INTO ubuntu [09:58] DJHenjin: no it's not, it is the method of re-applying grub if grub is not working === wu is now known as Guest24700 [09:58] which i kinda cant do because it requires to be booted into a live CD [09:58] DJHenjin: you have a usb [09:58] i cant abort the install before its finished [09:59] DJHenjin: ah, so the install hasn't finished [09:59] no it hasnt [09:59] DJHenjin: let the install complete and resolve problems afterwards [09:59] i need to install grub from the installer before i can continue [09:59] DJHenjin: in the installer where are you telling it to install grub ? [09:59] into /dev/md [09:59] DJHenjin: also where are you running the commands I asked you to run that you said don't work if you're in the installer ? [10:00] ubuntu-docs is the project that pressing F1 to view ? I want to remove it, because its F1 is conflict with my key bindings . Can I ? [10:00] the ubuntu installer menu has a shell you can execute [10:00] DJHenjin: ok - as I said earlier you don't install to /dev/md [10:00] DJHenjin: you need a physical DISK as the meta devices are mirrors of the partitions [10:00] ive trid sdb sdc sdb0 sdc0 [10:01] DJHenjin: grub should go onto /dev/sdb (for the master boot record) and point at /dev/sdb(number) where your /boot directory is stored [10:01] raid... [10:01] DJHenjin: raid what ? [10:01] how can i create cloud with my system [10:01] prabhakar: how many systems do you have ? [10:01] grub has to be on both disks in the raid 1 [10:01] 4 systems [10:01] DJHenjin: yes, but you can deal with that after - put it on /dev/sdb to boot the machine [10:02] DJHenjin: the installer should put it onto it's sister disk foryou === LjL^ is now known as LjL === AlertEye_ is now known as AlertEye [10:02] Hey guys, I tried to copy a file to a folder, but it says "Error opening file '/usr/share/irssi/themes/screwer.png': Permission denied", and when i open the folder with "sudo nautilus" it says "Operation not supported", so what can I do about it? [10:02] prabhakar: there is the ubuntu cloud components, have you checked them out ? [10:02] hello [10:02] wher i can check [10:02] unable to install GRUB in /dev/sdb [10:02] prabhakar: they have specific requirements though, so make sure you check out the details properly [10:02] DJHenjin: does it give any more info in the other virtual terminals ? [10:03] !cloud [10:03] The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC [10:03] ikonia what exactly do you mean? [10:03] so many body here who can response me [10:03] DJHenjin: I mean do you have any more information than that one line, look in the other virtual terminals for more info [10:03] virtual terminal? [10:03] DJHenjin: alt+f3 / f4 [10:03] no mam now i am beginner to create cloud [10:04] virtual box? [10:04] oh my [10:04] Hey guys, I tried to copy a file to a folder, but it says "Error opening file '/usr/share/irssi/themes/screwer.png': Permission denied", and when i open the folder with "sudo nautilus" from terminal, it says "Operation not supported", so what can I do about it? Help?? [10:04] prabhakar:why? [10:04] Nickless: gksudo nautilus [10:04] ikonia definately more info [10:04] gksudo? what's that? [10:05] virtual box its supports multiple operating system [10:05] Nickless: the command you use to launch gui apps as root (not sudo) [10:05] hi [10:05] 'error: Runing 'grub-install --no-floppr --force "/dev/sdb" failed' [10:05] Oh, thank you, ikonia ^^ [10:06] DJHenjin: if you do "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" in the console, what do you see [10:06] It still says ''Operation not supported'' [10:06] Nickless: where is this file kept ? [10:06] ikonia, which part? [10:07] ~/.irssi/ [10:07] "~/.irssi/themes" actually [10:07] DJHenjin: does it sow you the partitions ? [10:07] yes [10:07] DJHenjin: how many partitions does it have ? [10:08] 3, sdb1 sdb2 sdb5 [10:08] Nickless: open a terminal and type "ls -la /usr/share/irssi/themes/screwer.png" [10:08] DJHenjin: are those partition types listed as raid/autodetect ? [10:08] 1&5 are yes, 2 is extended [10:09] hi therere [10:09] ok, that's pertty reasonable [10:09] wait a tick sdb2 occupies the same space as sdb5 [10:09] Hi all, is there a way to make sure interfaces have an IP address when networking is started? Thus networking service waiting for DHCP replies before proceeding? [10:09] Kay, thnks [10:09] DJHenjin: it will do because sb2 is an extended partition and sdb5 is inside that extended partition [10:10] ah okay [10:10] evdvelde: dhclient already does that unless it hits the time out [10:10] petrolman : thanks..its working now.... [10:10] DJHenjin: I can't see a reason why you can't apply to sdb from the information you've given me [10:10] Umm, ikonia, screwer.png is not in the folder, I want to save it there,but it's not there. [10:10] Yet [10:10] I've searched high and low but still can't find out how to "properly" disconnect from ssh. Any ideas? [10:11] ikonia: by default? we tried it but even when putting condor in rc.local, it was aborted because no ip address was already available [10:11] Why does the mc file viewer (F3 key) in my Lucid computer not show the keywords of a program text colorfully? But my Natty's mc does. [10:11] DJHenjin: if you scroll back in the installer and select "don't install a boot loader" I can help you apply grub afterwards [10:11] Nickless: so that's why you are getting an error -it's not there [10:11] okay [10:11] bullgard4: later version, enchancments ? [10:12] Nah, I get those errors when I try to save it there. [10:12] alright fully installed [10:12] Nickless: just do "sudo cp /home/.irssi/file /usr/share/whereever/file [10:12] DJHenjin: out of interest, try to boot it - see what it says [10:12] yeah im trying [10:13] cp: cannot stat `/home/.irssi/file': No such file or directory [10:13] shinobilord: quit from ssh? ctrl-d or type exit [10:13] Nickless: oh come on - you know the name of your own file - it was an example [10:13] O man [10:13] Lol [10:14] ikonia zip zilch nada zero [10:14] llutz_: cheers dude. Those only close ur current session but don't force you to re-enter ur passphrase/password on next ssh session [10:14] DJHenjin: no error ? [10:14] no error but no worky [10:14] DJHenjin: black screen ? [10:15] one minute, it didnt get past BMC setup [10:15] well, [10:15] yeah nothing, the POST stuff is left on screen and it goes to a newline [10:16] shinobilord: restart ssh-agent (just a guess) [10:16] DJHenjin: just give it a minute, if it times out the error can be useful [10:16] waiting patiently [10:16] DJHenjin: did you install from the server CD ? [10:17] the server ISO put on a USB according to the instructions on the DOWNLOAD SITE [10:17] llutz_: I'll put that one on the list :) [10:17] DJHenjin: or the desktop cd ? [10:17] server [10:17] DJHenjin: any reason you didn't use the desktop cd ? [10:17] because its a fricking server [10:17] DJHenjin: so ? [10:17] am unable to install skype [10:17] DJHenjin: you said you are new to linux the desktop CD makes an excellent server plus is easier to deal with for people who are new to Linux [10:17] server ISO installed on physical Dell server = better [10:18] how do i install? [10:18] DJHenjin: no it's not ? [10:18] DJHenjin: why do you think that ? [10:18] ive used ubuntu before, but not ubuntu server [10:18] DJHenjin: ok - so why do you think the server install is better on a dell server ? [10:18] because it doesnt have the GUI which can use up resources that are needed for other things [10:18] plus less bloatware [10:18] DJHenjin: you can shut the gui off [10:18] DJHenjin: no it's not [10:18] wow [10:19] DJHenjin: fine, lets move on then [10:19] desktop comes with graphical editors and music players and all that stuff which is useless on a server [10:19] DJHenjin: the server install cd has a recovery environment from mememory - could you please boot into that [10:19] how can "ls" be made to echo the whole path to a file (i.e. when grepping in ls -R) ? [10:19] alright give me 4 minutes for post === Administrator is now known as Guest1992 [10:21] martel: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx download 4th or use with wine no installation needed [10:21] can anyone here help me with stardict?

[10:24] ikonia , its going through the same stuff as an install [10:24] DJHenjin: it's just setting up the enviornment [10:25] MarcelT3: you'd better use "find" than ls [10:25] okay, device to use as root filesystem? [10:25] assemble raid array? [10:25] DJHenjin: can you select meta devices ? [10:25] DJHenjin: if possible sure [10:25] can anyone access stardict.sourceforge.com? [10:25] or org [10:25] okay its assembled, now i have meta devices [10:26] meta device 0?

[10:30] installed grub on sdb and sdc, now booting [10:31] ikonia [10:31] ikonia im at grub, but it wants commands to be passed to it now [10:32] DJHenjin: which grub prompt? [10:32] grub2 i would guess [10:32] i meant the normal prompt rescue or ? [10:32] normal boot [10:32] no ISO connected to the system [10:33] does anyone here use a tv tuner? i have a tv tuner related problem [10:33] Is there a way I can give a system account a home folder? I need the Jenkins user to have ssh-keys. [10:34] god this is a pain [10:34] DJHenjin: set root(hd0,msdos1) [10:34] tasslehoff: you can specify any key-location you want with ssh [10:34] DJHenjin: linux (hd0,msdos1)/boot/vlinuz26 ro [10:35] adurodea, not working [10:35] llutz_: yeah, but I have no way (in Jenkins) to specify the key location on the command line, so I need to get Jenkins a ~/.ssh/config directory [10:36] DJHenjin: just away from desk= back asap0 [10:36] DJHenjin: initrd (hd0,msdos1)/boot/kenel26.img or something like that [10:36] tasslehoff: read "man usermod" then (-a -d ... iirc) [10:37] DJHenjin: ok where did it fail? (change hd0,msdos1 to where your kernel image/init are and root to where grub is [10:37] DJHenjin: ok - back [10:37] DJHenjin: as I understand it you've applied grub [10:38] yeah grub is installed in the array [10:38] DJHenjin: if you do "sudo fdisk -l" you should see your disks, I'm assuming the raid disks are still /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc ? [10:38] DJHenjin: but it's hitting the real disks, yes ? not the mdX meta devices [10:39] that mean i have to reboot into recovery right? [10:39] DJHenjin: ok - so you've not installed grub yet, you're just in the recovery shell [10:39] i did install grub [10:39] i was just at grub [10:39] at grub ?

[11:13] DJHenjin: nah, it's fine [11:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/628340/ [11:14] DJHenjin: if you type "exit" does it drop out of the chroot ? [11:14] Does anyone know how to add minimise,maximise,close buttons on the menu bar in Unity 11.04 ? [11:15] it drops me to select where i want to execute a shell [11:16] DJHenjin: sorry, I've not worked with the server recovery console for a while so you'll have to be a little more descriptive, is it a menu system or just a shell ?

[11:18] DJHenjin: I actually don't know what that option does [11:19] * DJHenjin reminds himself to take deep breaths and count to ten slowly [11:19] DJHenjin: try it see what it does, but be careful [11:19] DJHenjin: we can always reboot back to the other enviornment [11:19] what other environment? [11:19] hallo [11:19] Hell I was wondering for a long time why ubuntu doesn't give the option to cancel updates/installs/upgrades while the process is still downloading files [11:19] DJHenjin: the md0 shell one [11:19] *Hello [11:20] im in the installer shell [11:20] is it actually a shell environment that you can type with ?

[11:53] depends on the key length [11:54] and with long keys they have to be stored somehow, unless you are going to memorize 10k digits [11:54] DJHenjin: ? [11:54] encryption stuff [11:54] DJHenjin: who are you talking to ? [11:54] introuble [11:54] introuble: I use AES encryption with a software called TrueCrypt, however you can not encrypt system partitions with it [11:56] "encryption" isn't a one-size-fits-all methodology, so your question is inherently silly [11:56] theadmin so how can i encrypt [11:56] what max bit encrypt is available [11:56] crap, well im at login, but i cant remember what my username is [11:57] introuble: Look at their website, download the .deb package from there, enjoy -- it's got a clean, nice GUI [11:57] Oh wait [11:57] bloody hell [11:58] introuble: They got rid of the .deb packages, they have one universal installer now, so use that [11:59] is there any way i can recover my username? [11:59] DJHenjin: what do you mean ? [11:59] it booted to the login prompt, i forgot what i put in during install for username, therefore i cannot login [12:00] DJHenjin: recovery time again, this should be easy /quick though [12:00] theadmin truecrypt ? isnt bitlock better ? [12:01] only problem is i have to go into the bios every time and change the boot order to USB [12:01] introuble: I don't think so. [12:01] DJHenjin: can't help that [12:01] which is good mind you because i can put a pass on bios and make it so someone cant boot it off of say backtrac4 [12:02] theadmin why so [12:03] bitlocker can encrypt a system drive with a USB key as the key [12:03] how do i export path /ibus/bus to .config/ibus/bus please my script won't connect to the next command until I end the first one [12:03] DJHenjin can you elaborate [12:03] on windows with bitlocker anyways [12:04] introuble: It's not Windows-only, at the very least [12:04] hi, i'm trying to monitor changes of my (laptop) display brightness, which is stored and modifyed via /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness. but inotifywait /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness doesn't notice any events when i change the display brightness, tried it as root and as user. any hints on this? [12:04] olskolirc: sorry, I don't know what you mean [12:04] theadmin truecrypt you mean is multi platform and bitlock is only for windows ? [12:04] the file contents are actually changed btw., i checked that [12:05] alright ikonia im in recovery [12:05] introuble: Yeah... [12:05] theadmin what max bit of encryption is possible?

[12:26] ikonia, just because i needed help installing ubuntu server on a non standard setup doesnt mean im a computer illiterate [12:26] eleVen: 1.04? Where did you even find that? [12:27] theadmin, 11.04 [12:27] sorry [12:28] eleVen: Ah. From what I know compiz doesn't work well on it, indeed :( Try running "unity --reset" in a terminal [12:28] Hello. I need a text editor with built in support for version control. Asked google, it hushed me away. I seek refuge here. [12:28] codeManiac, geany has all sorts of plugins and addons. [12:28] theadmin, i couldn't even open terminal from tty7 so i logged in with tty6 and tried unity --reset . but unity wasn't even installed ... [12:29] eleVen: Huh. It's installed by default [12:29] codeManiac, and i imagine such a thing exists for emacs. if you like emacs. :) [12:29] dr_willis: thanks a bunch! checking it out! :) [12:29] codeManiac, but i like geany for many other reasons. I even use it on my windwos box's [12:29] DJHenjin: doesn't excuse your lack of manners [12:29] theadmin, i only "unity decorator " or something like that was there... tried --reset with that... didn't help [12:29] dr_willis: Sounds cool!

[12:31] eleVen, weechat or irssi [12:31] eleVen: irssi, weechat [12:32] eleVen: irssi + screen + ssh [12:32] eleVen, i perfer weechat, irssi is nice also. but lacking in some ways. :) [12:32] dude may i say 1 thing in a civilised manner? [12:32] thanks :) all [12:32] DJHenjin: I think we'll leave it there please. [12:32] iceroot: s/screen/tmux/ [12:33] theadmin: what is better about tmux? [12:34] differnt featureset. [12:34] may be a little easier to learn. theres also byobu - which is screen+moreuserfriendly bindings [12:34] iceroot: More senseful keycombos + that green bar + split windows (if you used tiling wm's you can imangine) + etc [12:34] theadmin: screen can also splitt windows [12:34] ages ago i used 'twin' for a similer thing. but i think its no longer being developed. [12:35] better would be something were i can LATER attach a running shell into an existing screen session [12:35] iceroot: Oh, didn't bother to learn it enough [12:35] twin was sort of a 'text' based window manager for the console, (and later for X) like the old dos-box drawing type programs. [12:35] iceroot: Oh and dtach can do that thing [12:35] iceroot, always set up your shell to use screen by default :) [12:35] theadmin truecrypt cant encrypt external usb stick drive . can it? or any other can ? [12:35] or was it byobu that could do that with a setting. [12:35] dr_willis: bashrc calling screen? [12:36] introuble: It can [12:36] dr_willis: sorry, .zshrc :) [12:36] introuble: My USB stick is encrypted with it :P [12:36] theadmin how much time does it takes for 8g [12:36] theadmin ic :) [12:36] theres a ways to set your default shell to call up screen - i saw byobu do it somehow. [12:37] introuble: I dunno, probably 5 minutes for the initial format -- and working with TrueCrypt-ed drives is almost as fast as with non-encrypted ones [12:37] dr_willis: sounds nice, i will have a look but because screen is installed by default on the most systems i guess its best to stay with screen (like vi(m) instead of emacs) [12:37] is there any way from terminal that i can get a list of installed packages? [12:37] iceroot, byoybu is screen also. Just nicer keybiondingz [12:38] so your screen-fu skills will still work with it. [12:38] !clone [12:38] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [12:38] dr_willis: I installed geanyvc, exactly what i needed. Thanks again :).. good bye. [12:38] theadmin oh so every drive i have to encrypt should be first formated by truecrypt..? [12:38] dr_willis: nice, normally i only use ^a+c and ^a+n :) [12:38] the first command there DJHenjin puts all installed pacakges in a text file :) [12:38] introuble: Yeah [12:38] iceroot, on my g15 kweyboard i set up special bindings to the GKeys :) [12:39] theadmin do i need a decrypting software installed on os to decrypt the stick. suppose i plug it into a linux os and want to read contents? [12:39] theadmin ic [12:39] introuble: TrueCrypt decrypts as well as encrypts, you can just carry it's installers on a separate partition, like I do [12:40] theadmin ic. [12:40] is there an EHCP package? [12:41] theadmin ill take linux installers too. [12:41] theadmin one important idea i was thinking of. is it possible to stop anyone from formating the encrypted stick? [12:41] introuble: Unfortunately there's no protection from formaatting, yeah :( [12:41] hm [12:41] some USB flash drives have write protection which will prevent formatting [12:42] its a physical write protection switch [12:42] DJHenjin, check packages.ubuntu.com [12:42] I bought a USB flash that couldent be formated.. or written to.. no switch either.. :) had to return it.. [12:42] DJHenjin ya but that can be manually turned off [12:43] dr_willis lolz [12:43] introuble: But from what I know not even the FBI managed to decrypt data on a truecrypt partition [12:43] hi again, succesfully got in here using weechat... how do i reset unity to get those sidebars again now ? theadmin [12:43] hi all [12:43] cant find terminal in tty7... how do i do this ? [12:44] theadmin you feel truecrypt is best when security is concerned? [12:44] introuble: Yeah, my favorite [12:44] eleVen, 7 is normally for X. 1-6 are for consoles [12:44] theadmin k.. [12:45] dr_willis: ya, so where do i reset unity... i cant see any bars ... cant do anything except look at my usb drive on the desktop [12:45] eleVen, at any console. use the proper command [12:46] then try logging back in... is one way [12:46] theadmin i heard you can use multiple alogrithems and keys ? [12:46] dr_willis: and what would be that ? unity --reset ? ive tried that... [12:46] eleVen, that resets the icons/launcher as far as i know.. [12:46] whats the command for viewing current CPU load and stuff like that on ubuntu 11.04 server? [12:46] theres a few other unity/gnome/compiz reset commands [12:47] introuble: Yes, you can even use files instead of/along with passwords (so feed the file to it when decrypting, and if it's the same file it will work, if it's not - it won't) [12:47] dr_willis: so can u directly tell me what i can do? cant use lynx to find solutions u know [12:47] dr_willis: the best part is all users are affected [12:48] theadmin hm. ic.

[12:53] eleVen, try making a new user, see if they have the same issue.. *(what is the issue anyway)* === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [12:55] dr_willis: u kick azz [12:55] :D [12:55] thanks [12:56] this weechat is also kickazz [12:56] I am trying to get ekiga support for x264 but the provided natty version does not offer that. Has to compile ekiga trunk. Listed deb and ubuntu repository from ekiga wiki are outdated empty. Too bad. The Ubuntu opal library has stability usability issues. Any other known good ekiga packages with x264? [12:56] eleVen, check the weechat docs/beginner guides.. it has some amazing features [12:57] irssi > weechat (imo) :D [12:57] I find weechat >>>> irssi [12:57] smar filters are so handy. [12:57] smart.. [12:57] dr_willis: yo... i will check it out.. thanks once again... u r the dr... [12:57] larger footprint [12:58] smart fiilters are smart.. :) [12:58] yea.. i really need to conserve ram on this 6gb desktop :) [12:58] im ssh into 64mb ram server :z [12:58] showoff :) [12:58] * dr_willis sends rizzeh a c64 for a upgrade [12:58] Hey all [12:58] Getting a strange problem, when im typeing sometimes a keypress will stick or one will be missed entirely anyone seen this before ? [12:59] lol ty :) [12:59] daxroc, does it do this in the console? or just terminal> or in word processor? or everywhere? [12:59] if i setup EHCP with mail configuration with my domain name, and i already have an existing email server, will that cause any problems? [12:59] dr_willis: Everywhere [12:59] daxroc: Yep. Was bad keyboard, in my case. [13:00] daxroc, as a text. you could try some alternative live cd. like tcl, or even freedos, see if it affects the iother os's as well. If it affexts them all.. i would have to think its a keyboard hw issue. [13:00] as a 'test' :) [13:00] cat hasent chewed on the cables? [13:00] :) [13:01] dr_willis: Sorry, If I switch to a console it doesn't persist [13:01] Hi everyone [13:01] hry [13:01] hey [13:01] Do you know of an alternate good ppa or deb repository for ekiga with support for H.264/263/+ ? === o0oScoRcHo0o|afk is now known as o0oScoRcHo0o [13:02] dr_willis: All apps in ontop of the xserver get the glitch, You dont configure input devices with a manual xorg.conf anymore right ? [13:02] daxroc, X auto configures for the most part these days [13:02] daxroc, this a laptop? or usb or ps2 keyboard? [13:03] dr_willis: a usb keyboard, desktop [13:03] Is there a way to do a repair on Ubuntu? [13:03] rrittenhouse, repair what [13:03] rrittenhouse, clarify what you want [13:04] bazhang: dr_willis: Was upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 and the VM disk filled up so now it kinda works but its in a weird state. I would like to upgrade completely to 10.10 [13:04] that dosent sound good... [13:04] rrittenhouse, repair a virtual machine? just reinstall fresh [13:05] bazhang: true. Its just using LAMP I just wanted to know if there was a 'repair' [13:05] looking for a snmp viewer to use with adsl router? TIA :) [13:05] rrittenhouse, vmware vbox, which one [13:05] vmware esx [13:05] Hey guys [13:05] I have a question [13:05] shoot [13:05] rrittenhouse, perhaps check their support forums [13:06] dr_willis: any other suggestions ? [13:06] caulkz, apt-cache search snmp [13:06] daxroc: Do you have ps2 keyboard port? [13:06] Flying, what is the question? [13:06] tried synaptic but no joy :/ [13:06] daxroc, not really. Unless you have a spare keuyboard to test. check the cables/ plug in differnt port. [13:07] bazhang: I think its more of an Ubuntu issue? I think it just can't recover from a bad install (which would be tough to do). [13:08] rrittenhouse, no idea, really. I'd doubt it could be repaired, thus the suggestion for vmare forums [13:08] +w [13:08] if it did get repaired.. how to you really prove it got repaired correctly. you could have some issues next week from it.. [13:08] anyone? [13:08] I bought this new router, it's a D-link something, quite expensive and it's really unstable and shit, I tried upgrading the firmware but I think I already had the latest, the speed randomly goes down to like 50kbps when connecting a third computer(via a switch) and now even with one computer the internet is going down for like 1 min ute every halv hour. [13:09] caulkz, my command, or packages.ubuntu.com [13:09] Flying, no cursing please [13:09] bazhang: cheers :) [13:09] sorry [13:09] Flying: WHat router? Wireless or Wired? [13:09] Flying, that sounds completely like a hardware issue, nothing to do with ubuntu [13:10] ##hardware Flying [13:10] Yeah I know but you guys are good at this [13:10] Flying, do you have the olde router to test to be sure it is not the isp dropping speed every half hour? [13:10] Flying, no matter its offtopic here [13:10] I'm using an older one which works perfectly [13:10] bazhang: yeah. Thanks for the suggestions. I could have had the OS about half reinstalled by now ;) [13:10] Flying: Maybe you have some sort of IP conflict? [13:10] Flying, then I am not sure,, I is unlikely an ubuntu specific issue [13:10] It's both wired and wiereless, i'm only using wired at the moment [13:11] Flying, its got zero to do with ubuntu. [13:11] Flying, you could try asking in either ## linux or #hardware channels [13:11] oh okay [13:11] I'll do that [13:11] cool [13:11] Flying: Check to see that you do not have IP conflict(s). [13:11] how do I do that lol [13:11] I'm using DHCP [13:12] also I can't join #hardware [13:12] Flying: You just have to go to the various PC to see what IP addres they are using [13:12] Flying, you need to register your nick [13:12] usr13, feel free to support him in ##hardware [13:12] !register | Flying [13:12] Flying: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[13:16] DJHenjin, iptables [13:16] DJHenjin: yes, it's called iptables. [13:16] i installed mono develop sw ,i am difficult to find visuval design [13:16] DJHenjin: Not by default. You can install a firewall script or use a firewall if you want. [13:16] !firewall > DJHenjin [13:16] DJHenjin, please see my private message [13:16] DJHenjin, if you look on google, there are a lot of tutorials and graphical frontends. There's also UFW, which I believe depends on iptables, but people have good results with that [13:17] holy crap how many people just answered that? [13:17] DJHenjin: welcome to the community =) [13:18] usr13: i believe iptables is installed by default [13:18] ufw too [13:18] DJHenjin: If you have a router between you and the internet, you are relatively safe. Linux not near as vuneralbe as a MS Windows PC. [13:18] ooooohhhh i really like ehcp [13:18] blz: and yes, it depends on iptables. [13:19] blz: Yes, you are correct, iptables is installed by default.

[13:21] how do i change the menu font size on ubuntu classic? [13:22] Is there a way to kill and restart the Unity launcher? It keeps getting into various stupid states [13:22] i have changed the application font size but menus are not affected [13:22] unity --reset [13:22] or unity --reset-icons [13:25] there seems to be no way to change the menu font size :/ [13:25] when i open kubuntu i am getting: [13:25] warning :cannot open consolekit session.failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system bus socket no such file or directory [13:25] ashwin, open kubuntu? as in start up your system? [13:25] yes [13:26] anyone here use EHCP? [13:26] DJHenjin, ask a real question please [13:26] ashwin, normal install? dual boot, some details would help [13:26] anyone here use EHCP that could help me out getting familiarised with it and properly setup? [13:26] dual boot with windows 7 [13:27] !find ehcp [13:27] Package/file ehcp does not exist in natty [13:27] speakers are not working and i cannot connect to internet [13:27] volume control button is not showing. [13:27] Wow, unity --reset meant that everything started to ignore clicks/keystrokes [13:27] DJHenjin, how does that relate to ubuntu support [13:27] DJHenjin: how about, first you try it out yourself using documentation and the likes. And then when you actually run into PROBLEMS you could ask someone [13:27] killing and restarting GDM and re-logging in has left me with no Unity launcher at all! === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:27] !sound | ashwin [13:27] ashwin: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

When I have two sound cards and my alsa version looks like this Driver version: 1.0.23 [13:30] Library version: 1.0.24.1 [13:30] Utilities version: 1.0.24.2 is it a sign that the versions are not aligned/working? [13:30] I read somewhere for old ubuntu [13:31] that they sould all be the same number [13:31] heres a better question, EHCP can replace my existing email server web server MySQL server and FTP server all in one nice package correct?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:36] I moved all compiz related stuff out of my .gconf/apps dir to try to get back to a sensible state [13:36] theres commands to reset compiz. and unity [13:37] Guys, accidentally I killed a something notification process from 'System Monitor' now, If I open xchat, vlc I don't see any of icons in Notification manager/top bar. [13:37] gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 resets compiz then this resets uinty --> unity --reset [13:37] I want to restore that feature. [13:37] xchat works on cygwin? [13:37] wonka_, theres native windows xchat ports [13:37] I'm running Natty Narwahl on x64. My Launcher is very confused - a few shadowy icons at the top, and that's it. Running the mouse down the side shows tooltips for icons though [13:37] well i guess you can call them native. :) [13:37] ok [13:37] PiX3L, Did you try a reboot? [13:38] Sidewinder1: Yes. [13:38] :-( [13:38] not the ones I set up myself, the defaults - LibreOffice calc etc [13:38] я куда попал?)

[13:39] dr_willis: I'm back to exactly where I was before [13:39] i updated my kubuntu 11.04 [13:39] now my speakers are not working and i cannot connect to internet [13:39] volume control button is not showing. [13:39] at startup i am getting: [13:39] warning :cannot open consolekit session.failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system bus socket no such file or directory [13:39] please help [13:39] ashwin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:39] my window handles have all dissapeared [13:39] my window handles have all dissapeared [13:40] Very very odd behaviour. The tooltips appear where I would expect the icons to be, but far above where the mouse is - the lower the mouse, the greater the disparity [13:40] Clerisy, alt-f2 run 'compiz --replace' [13:40] i updated my kubuntu [13:40] now my speakers are not working and i cannot connect to internet [13:40] volume control button is not showing. [13:40] Is there an equivalent of pastebin for screenshots? [13:40] ashwin, dont repeat so quickly [13:41] dr_willis» still not there [13:41] ciphergoth, imagebin and the like [13:41] !enter > ashwin [13:41] ashwin, please see my private message [13:41] Clerisy, try it from a terminal window. look for error messages, try alt-f2 and 'metacity --replace' also [13:42] thanks dr_willis :) [13:42] all fixed [13:42] I have a computer with a 2.6ghz dual-cpu dual-core xeon. Whenever I boot up, it says it can't "speedstep", and the fans are always loud. Is there anything I can do for this? [13:42] Clerisy, meticity is not exactly a 'fix' its the window manager without all the fancy eyecandy [13:43] Clerisy, compiz requires the proper 3d drivers also. metacity does not. [13:43] ah [13:43] * ashwin slaps bazhang around a bit with a large trout [13:43] ashwin, dont do that [13:43] This is what I can see: http://imagebin.org/158724 [13:43] dr_willis» is there a way i can move the close window minimize and maximize buttons to the right side? (currently at left) [13:44] !controls | Clerisy [13:44] Clerisy: Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more informationand workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 [13:44] it's blank all the way down apart form that detail at the top [13:44] ty [13:44] I don't have much config I care about, so I'm happy to wipe and restart, but I don't want to lose eg my IM accounts [13:45] LOL i'm not that skilled so I always reset gnome to defaults when I have error like that (Using a different metacity -replace that I found on google.) [13:45] I've tried unity --replace and unity --replace-icons and compiz --replace and logging in and out and deleting my compiz config [13:46] make a new user - see if it actually works for them [13:46] dr_willis: you mean me? [13:46] yes.. [13:46] OK [13:46] if all users have the same issue.. then its a system wide setting/problem. :) [13:47] That's astonishing - no, it doesn't work for them [13:47] rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [13:47] How can I install google chrome under ubuntu? it wont show up in the repos and when i downloaded the deb from google i didn't know what to do from there since i usually use deb package manager. so I tried running it with software manager and it just wouldnt install it [13:47] how can that be? I haven't changed anything - haven't touched root privs. [13:47] http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [13:48] Clerisy, google has their own repos for it i recall. [13:48] Maybe I should try a reboot [13:48] Clerisy: but also see if "Chromium" meets your needs [13:48] if you doload a deb. you normally just douile click on the deb and it can install [13:48] ciphergoth» no [13:48] !chrome [13:48] !chrome [13:48] Will reboot, bbiab, thanks [13:48] Chromium and chrome seem virtuually identical to me these days.. [13:49] i have configs for gchrome saved [13:49] I got my chrome's all 'synced' so every pc has the same configs. :) [13:49] is there anything like restore point like windows in ubuntu [13:49] if its chromium or google chrome. same setup on all my pcs [13:49] hmm [13:49] hello there, I'm running 10.04 x86 and I need the 'capability' kernel module, 'modprobe capability' tells me that there's no such module. Compiling a custom kernel is the only solution I have? [13:49] any ideas on how i can go about getting chrome? [13:50] Clerisy, google has an acutal repository for chrome you can use [13:51] love chrome it has everything built in [13:51] or download the chrome deb. and inztall it. [13:51] I think the .deb insables the proper repos also [13:51] http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?platform=linux [13:52] yeah, I tried [13:52] --> Note: Installing Google Chrome will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep Google Chrome up to date. [13:52] but Im used of using deb package managers [13:52] and software manager on ubuntu wont do it [13:52] hi everybody i am under ubuntu 11.04. i have installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS ob vurtualbox-ose. the problem is: how to map or mount from my guest linux machine the shared folder from my host machine linux ubuntu 11.04? [13:52] all you do is download the deb.. then double click on it.. or sudo dpkg -i foo.deb [13:52] ty [13:52] or sudo gdebi foo.deb [13:53] software manager should do it also.

[13:54] is there a restore point in ubuntu? [13:55] you need to install extra packages for chrome to install properly [13:55] Does ubuntu (natty) have any gnome tool for viewing man and info pages? [13:55] a reboot fixed my problem! Of all things, I would never have guessed that6 [13:55] what persists across gdm stop/starts but not across reboots? [13:55] Clerisy, what command did you use to isntall it? [13:55] dpkg -i [13:55] Clerisy, try installing gdebi, and try it.. [13:55] said no command [13:56] install it....

I dont recall the sysntax [13:59] ashwin, be more clear in what you wan tto do. [13:59] like restore pint in windows [13:59] i want to use virtual machine ubuntu 10.04 LTS [13:59] ashwin, thers no feature like that - that i have ever seen. [14:00] ashwin, its normally just not needed. [14:00] Hi, i'm trying to configure some automatic backup-strategy, been using crontab for time-driven backup successfully. now i'm wondering if i should use event-driven instead, as in executing the script upon login. [14:00] ashwin: typically such things are accomplished through lvm snapshots, but you'll have to set that up in advance. [14:01] what is the "best" approach, use the /etc/.profile file ? [14:01] What's the default font? I accidently changed it earlier [14:01] is there a way i can delete update? [14:01] joru, it would all depend on the details, how, who, how much, and so forth [14:02] ashwin, rollback? no [14:02] ashwin: reverting a system to a pre-update state would require filesystem snapshots. like i said, if you set up lvm snapshots in advance, you can get that functionality. [14:02] after update at startup i am getting this warning :cannot open consolekit session.failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system bus [14:02] Unless ashwin is meaning update in a differnt way. [14:02] dr_willis: ok, i've got multiple users on multiple computers. right now i've got a strategy for all those users using crontab. [14:03] ashwin, so its a warning? or is there some other actual problem? [14:03] Hi all [14:03] ashwin, perhaps try in #kubuntu [14:03] What's the default font? I accidently changed it earlier [14:03] dr_willis: i was wondering if i should run it upon user login (interactive at first), or maybe after a few mins [14:03] bazhang:they say #ubuntu [14:04] joru, what if the user logs in 4 times in quick session. Like via ssh. :) lots of things to watch out for. === b0ot_linux is now known as DynamicFail [14:04] ashwin, you said earlier you were using kubuntu when you got this error [14:04] joru: also, do you really want to slow the system down with a lot of disk activity right after a user logs in? [14:04] dr_willis: yes both issues are true [14:04] d(*⌒▽⌒*)b [14:05] joru, and proberly a dozen other potential issues to watch out for. :) [14:05] dr_willis: :) well i just want to secure the data [14:05] bazhang, i mean users in #kubuntu recomended #ubuntu [14:05] dr_willis: problem is that the users login very infrequently [14:05] dr_willis: thus time-driven is not "safe" [14:06] dr_willis: (i must tell you that im learning bash/cron atm) [14:06] What's the default font? [14:06] Howdy [14:06] dr_willis: but maybe i could use a script to check when the user data was backuped last [14:06] dr_willis: and then act accordingly? [14:06] joru, i think rsync/fsarchiver can allready do that [14:07] Clerisy, i think its the 'ubuntu' font :) [14:07] dr_willis: ok, i'll do some more reading of those details [14:07] dr_willis: thanx [14:07] doesnt look right [14:07] any one know what causes warning :cannot open consolekit session.failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system bus [14:07] http://mikebeach.org/2011/06/default-font-packages-installed-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty/ Clerisy [14:08] есть здесь русские?!

[14:10] after a couple days, the menu that comes up when clicking the wifi icon is unresponsive (no meny selections do anything except for [More Netorks] and [VPN Connections], which paint a tiny empty box) [14:10] Ever since I uninstalled Pulseaudio and reinstalled it I don't see a volume control icon in the notification area anymore. Help? [14:10] how do i restart this tool in hopes of restoring network control without having to log out? [14:10] (whatever restarts implied by reinstalling network-manager-gnome didn't do the trick) [14:10] dr_willis:so what am i suppose to do?

[14:38] ashwin, Or kubuntu, as the case may be. [14:38] I'm having problems getting Ubuntu 10.04 to boot up on a particular machine. What's getting output to the screen is something to do with AppArmor. However, I don't believe it's AppArmor that's causing the problem, because it's at a random place in AppArmor every time. Anyone know what it might be? Fwiw, the drive checks seem to be complete when this happens. [14:39] Sidewinder1:is it possible to creater backup of themes and config files [14:39] Ever since I uninstalled Pulseaudio and reinstalled it I don't see a volume control icon in the notification area anymore. Help? [14:40] ashwin, I'm sure there is but I don't know the exact steps to perform same. :-(...Sorry. [14:41] hi - I m on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 - when doing a apt-get install subversion it "leaves" my subversion on version 1.4.6 instead of the current 1.6.* releases. 1.4.6 is the state of 2009. is this normal ? or am I doing something wrong with the apt-get install command [14:41] tilerendering, thats normal [14:41] tilerendering: you will only get security updates within an ubuntu-version [14:41] tilerendering, you're stuck with whatever version Hardy uses [14:41] oh [14:41] !backports | tilerendering [14:41] tilerendering: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [14:42] tilerendering, why not at least upgrade to 10.04 if not 11.04 [14:42] bazhang: never touch a running system :) [14:42] Tetracomm: maybe you could try to reset the gnome panel: "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel" and "pkill gnome-panel" [14:42] bazhang, he's on hardy because it's LTS, I'm guessing...and also iceroot's point, too :o [14:42] Ny channel for computer architecture? [14:42] dlyneswork: 10.04 is lts too [14:42] ashwin, I know it's after the fact, but, the best way to avoid this problem in the future is to back-up your home directory to an external drive; that way a reinstall will retain all of your settings and configs; once you have copied your home to the new install.

Good luck. [14:43] Morning all. [14:43] tilerendering: but remeber, hardy 8.04 desktop version is out of security updates [14:44] how would I enable hardy backports in /etc/apt/sources.list [14:44] hi folks, I am using phpmyadmin on ubuntu, but it is asking me to enter username and password, when I have set no password. What do I do? Please help :) [14:44] iceroot, what's the difference between the normal version, desktop version, laptop version, and server version, anyways? Just what packages get installed?

[14:45] dlyneswork, as of 11.04 the netbook is no more [14:45] iceroot, ah...so that's the only difference [14:46] dlyneswork: between server and desktop, yes [14:46] dlyneswork, its unity all the way down [14:46] any recommandable hardy backport repository ? [14:46] bazhang, that's good...I think someone gave me one of those installs, and it gave me a completely fubared install...never rebooted properly...always had to do a full shutdown, followed by a power up [14:46] tilerendering: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted [14:46] becasue there are none in my plist [14:46] *sigh* [14:46] tilerendering, check iceroot above [14:47] bazhang, something to do with unloading the kernel and reloading the kernel [14:47] oh [14:47] thanks iceroot [14:47] tilerendering: no problem [14:48] my system sometime, logs off on its own! :o [14:49] Hello everybody. [14:49] I wonder whether gucharmap (Ubuntu’s default character map in the version with Gnome) has been updated to support the new Unicode 6.0 characters. [14:49] If that’s so, would it be possible to easily update gucharmap while remaining on Maverick ? [14:50] JoFo, search for a ppa I suppose [14:50] JoFo: ppa or backports [14:50] *reposting* I am using phpmyadmin on ubuntu, but it is asking me to enter username and password, when I have set no password. What do I do? Please help :) [14:50] omegaphi: its the mysql-user [14:51] hello. I'm running ubuntu on a very slow pc. Is there a list of processes I could kill to make it run faster? [14:51] omegaphi: normally root with a password (not the root from ubuntu) [14:51] natrixnatrix89: you can see with "top" and "ps aux" waht is running but killing randomly is a bad idea [14:51] natrixnatrix89, why not try lubuntu-desktop then [14:51] natrixnatrix89, just curious - is it slow to boot? [14:51] natrixnatrix89: X [14:51] not really [14:52] the pc is decent. [14:52] oh [14:52] but when I bought it, it was one of the cheapest [14:52] natrixnatrix89, ubuntu is not really designed for slow, old or low ram computers [14:52] I forgot: how do I mv a whole dir with the mv command ? [14:52] natrixnatrix89: Are you running gnome? [14:52] yep [14:52] gnome [14:52] what is lubuntu using? [14:52] natrixnatrix89: xfce4 [14:52] does anyone find that 11.04 is slow to boot on old PCs? [14:52] iceroot : but I didn't create any mysql user too, everything is default! [14:53] natrixnatrix89, lubuntu uses LXDE [14:53] compdoc: natrixnatrix89 does [14:53] faster than xfce? [14:53] natrixnatrix89, you could try xubuntu, but that is hardly any lighter, lubuntu is the best bet [14:53] natrixnatrix89, much [14:53] cool [14:53] anyone know of any good free C++ IDE's [14:53] so I can just install package lubuntu-desktop, and then just switch to it when logging in? [14:53] natrixnatrix89: switching window managers helps a lot...try openbox. [14:54] natrixnatrix89, install the package lubuntu-desktop [14:54] hi all, i have a problem [14:54] xokvictor, then ask a question [14:54] bazhang: so I can just install package lubuntu-desktop, and then just switch to it when logging in?

[15:01] I am just scared it's stuck in a loop [15:01] MK``: May be just that the download has been sopped for some reason. [15:01] MK``, let it error out, or wait a bit longer, then try from command line [15:02] It's at "Applying changes" [15:02] MK``, then dont kill it [15:02] ok. [15:02] MK``: vlc is pretty complicate app [15:04] It's just been like this for almost 10 minutes without the bar moving [15:04] MK``, killing it now may break some packages [15:05] Is there some failsafe to abort after a certain time? [15:05] MK``, in my experience it takes a good long while until it finally times out, but it eventually will. [15:05] ok [15:06] :O I closed the software center (just the UI) and reopened it and the bar was farther along, and is now moving [15:06] ...and it finished instantly.

The documentation I'm finding says to use ath5k: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k/devices?highlight=%28ar242x%29 [15:35] jwheare: verify md5 sum of your download [15:35] sungji: Still researching [15:35] s/jwheare/jswenson/ [15:35] edbian : next, where di i cd .desktop file to make it appear automatically in the menu system? [15:35] sungji: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [15:36] inashdeen: I don't know. You'll have to figure that one out on your own. [15:36] edbian: it says: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [15:36] beli: It is the same CD I used on an install just a week ago on a different machine [15:37] My girlfriend decided not to wait for my instructions to burn a disc image. Instead, she put the freaking 180MB .iso file on the disc, wasting her last CD. after ubuntu has written files from the integrated drag'n'drop interface, is it possible to write a disc image to the same disc as multi-session, deactivating the previously written track? [15:37] hi, anyone know where do i put a .desktop file in ubuntu to make it appear in the menu? i want to make it ( kinda) automatic installation rather than right click on the menu and edit menus [15:37] join irc.freenode.org [15:38] sungji: sudo iwconfig [15:38] clusterfusk: if it's a CDR, no [15:38] edbian: i did: sudo rfkill unblock 0 and 1 [15:38] edbian: now it works [15:38] :) [15:38] edbian: also, I found this: http://axcoto.com/blog/article/tag/siocsifflags-operation-not-possible-due-to-rf-kill [15:38] sungji: I just found that too: http://axcoto.com/blog/article/tag/siocsifflags-operation-not-possible-due-to-rf-kill [15:38] sungji: horray! [15:38] Gnea: Are we clear on what a multi-session disc is? [15:38] stop that! [15:39] creepy [15:39] how can i edit desktop switcher settings? need all dtops to be in same line, so i can use just two key combos to go left and right. Dont want go down or up at all [15:39] ... [15:39] edbian: :) [15:39] Guys, Accidentally, I killed a Process from System Monitor, it was something related to notifications. From that time, I'm not getting any notifications on the top-bar. It doesn't shows me any apps icons. like VLC, XCHAT or even the Active Connection. Except that, everything is working as a fresh install. I'd restarted my system later but it's still the same. I want to restore the system. Please, tell me if there's any solution. [15:39] clusterfusk: are you clear on the difference between a CDR and CDRW is? [15:39] ok, so i added a ppa using add-apt-repository, but now i found out it doesnt have a natty repo. For some reason though ppa-purge cant find it, but its still showing the error for the ppa when i run apt-get update [15:39] PiX3L: Just restart [15:39] rypervenche: I had several restarts. [15:39] edbian: this laptop does have a fn+1 mechanism to enable WIFI. is it possible to automate the loading during boot? [15:39] Gnea: you can't erase a CD-R, which is not what I'm trying to do. [15:40] rypervenche: That didn't work. [15:40] sungji: It should remember the state of that button. I suspect you hit it (on accident) or something and we just turned it back on using rfkill [15:40] clusterfusk: once the laser has written the final burn instruction, the CDR is done. there is no changing. [15:40] How do I use the install cd as a recovery cd? [15:40] Gnea: you can do multi sessions on a disc if you dont close it out [15:41] hi, can someone please help me with my graphic issues? catalyst control center reports, that i have an ati mobility radeon hd 4200 installed at my laptop. but there is a mobility radeon hd 5650 installed. it also reports i have got 320 mb of video ram, but installed is 1gb dedicated... graphic performance is overall slow and windows stutter when dragging them. [15:41] you just cant write over already used areas [15:41] MACscr: but will he be able to boot with it into the OS? [15:41] hello there [15:41] what is the default mail server on ubuntu ? [15:41] edbian: pushing the button on "AcerHK GUI" enables the wlan led... unfortunately, i don't know what it exactly loads when the button is pressed [15:41] Gnea: probably not. No reason to do multisession on a boot disc [15:42] MACscr: sounds of slashdot had that feature [15:42] Gnea: Please read this and refrain from trying to answer questions that you don't know about: http://www.osta.org/technology/cdqa2.htm [15:42] sungji: The button affects rfkill is my guess (rfkill just blocks it from running) [15:42] clusterfusk: consider taking your attitude out the door and never asking again. [15:43] Gnea: what attitude? I'm telling you to stop giving wrong answers. You can leave yourself if you're going to be counterproductive. [15:44] which library to install for the package 'lua'? i searched in synpatic and it gives lots of result but which one to install? [15:44] it is needed for enlightenment [15:44] edbian: oh ok thank you very much for your help and time! is it possible to do "rfkill unblock #" during boot? [15:45] sungji: It's just a terminal command so you could write a script and have it run at boot time. I suspect you wont' need to though. [15:45] clusterfusk: the fact that you're calling me out on it is inappropriate. I don't have to leave, I've been here for years helping people. If you can't accept the fact that I already changed and realized what it is you're talking about, then it is you that has the problem. I won't tell you again. [15:45] i'm trying to make a bash script for login-ing users, but how do i check if the user exists on the system or not? [15:45] awkward... [15:45] bobo123: They will be listed in /etc/passwd [15:46] edbian, yes i can get that, but how to check if the password is good or fake? [15:46] bobo123: You wanna replace the login program? What are you trying to change about it? [15:47] does anyone use mldonkey/can anyone recommend a good p2p client program? [15:47] edbian, yes i want to replace it i'm doing a simple program for doing some calculations and i want the user to login again in order to do the calculations [15:48] I love unity, but i have a question.. for example the home button in the unity toolbar, how can i open it more than once? [15:48] edbian, is there a function how to check if a user/password combination is ok or not? [15:48] wirrr: transmission (torrent) [15:48] Also, in unity, if i drag the terminal to the unity toolbar, its missing its icon [15:48] bobo123: I'm not sure. I've never done that. I think you hash what they type (somehow) and then compare it to what's in /etc/shadow [15:48] bobo123: I am not aware of some library but maybe there is [15:48] bobo123: login shell is defined in /etc/passwd [15:48] edbian: just rebooted, and I had to manually enable it again. So, everything in init.d is triggered on boot time, right? [15:49] sungji: yes. use update-rc.d /path/to/file.sh default [15:49] Home come when I start a ghome-terminal, the bash it runs is not a login shell, does not have a login shell as a parent, yet it seems to have stuff set that can only come from /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc ? [15:49] iceroot: i do not want just torrents. i want gnutella2 and everything that like limewire uses [15:49] sungji: In the file put #!/bin/bash and on the second line rfkill whatever [15:50] sungji: Does that make sense? Have you ever made a bash script before? Maybe I'm going to fast. [15:50] which library to install for the package 'lua'? i searched in synpatic and it gives lots of result but which one to install? [15:50] ?? === awolf is now known as adamwolf [15:50] edbian: uhm.. kinda :) but it makes sense yes [15:51] sungji: first let's make the script and run it. Then we'll worry about making it run at boot time. [15:51] sungji: simple stuff oyu can put in /etc/rc.local [15:51] Abhijit: ? lua is in the repositories and should pull all necessary dependencies [15:51] sungji: just sudo nano /etc/rc.local and add it at the end [15:51] VSpike: sungji true, but this is good practice ;) [15:51] oCean, i dont have lua installed. so i want to install it. for this i searched it in synaptic by typing lua. but it gives so many result. so which one i shoud install? [15:52] Abhijit: I think you are referring to the package lua5.1 [15:52] !info lua5.1 [15:52] lua5.1 (source: lua5.1): Simple, extensible, embeddable programming language. In component main, is optional. Version 5.1.4-5 (natty), package size 125 kB, installed size 308 kB [15:53] oCean, i need it for enlightenment [15:53] oCean, lua5.1 is installed already [15:53] can anyone recommend a p2p client for gnutella2 networks and all the other kinds that like shareaza connects to, or send me an informative link [15:54] I'll rephrase my question to make sure only those who know what's going on will answer. Does Ubuntu's Nautilus-integrated cd burner "finalize" so the disc can't be written to again, or just "fix" the disc so it can be written to again as multi-session? [15:55] hello, is there a way to show messages like tail -f /var/log/messages with highlighting a specific words? i know i could pipe it to grep, but grep will show me only the lines contains words, and what i want is to have all the logs but highlighting specific words [15:55] thanks [15:56] umm... [15:56] what is the gui for network management in ubuntu?\ [15:56] How do I use the install cd as a recovery cd? [15:56] Abhijit: you're installing from source? enlightment? [15:56] oCean, yes [15:56] sanesto, try tail -f /var/log/messages | egrep --color=auto [whatever] [15:56] hi, can someone please help me with my graphic issues? catalyst control center reports, that i have an ati mobility radeon hd 4200 installed at my laptop. but there is a mobility radeon hd 5650 installed. it also reports i have got 320 mb of video ram, but installed is 1gb dedicated... graphic performance is overall slow and windows stutter when dragging them. if no one knows an answer, maybe someone knows where to ask? [15:57] edbian: it says: warning: /etc/init.d/wifiscript.sh missing LSB information [15:58] Wolfsherz: Well, sounds like wrong video driver is loading. [15:58] Abhijit: I don't know what it is looking for. The enlightment people should know I think. Last suggestion try liblua5.1-0-dev [15:59] usr13: i istalled the proprietary driver ubuntu recommends [15:59] oCean, okay i am asking in enlightemnet channel but its dead [15:59] hi! my HDD gets very hot, where can i read about configuring hdd spindown in an ubuntu-aware way? [15:59] (for a laptop) [15:59] Abhijit: ah ok. [16:00] hi guys, I had Ubuntu installed on my PC, and now I installed Windows XP (they are on different partitions), but now it just boots XP, i mean, GRUB does not appear so I can choose where to boot from. Can someone please help me out with this? :D [16:00] !grub | Patrunjel [16:00] !grub | Patrunjel [16:00] Patrunjel: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [16:02] ZykoticK9, nibbler_ It's not from GRUB, it's because of the (lame) Windows boot loader, but I don't really know where to ask. I have encountered this problem before, but I don't remember what were the commands to solve it (I'm not a Windows user, it's for mom :D) [16:03] Patrunjel, did you read the link? "Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub" [16:03] Patrunjel: the factoid you got has a link for reinstalling grub after windows broke it [16:04] ZykoticK9, magnetron Sorry guys, my bad :D (thanks for the help) [16:04] hi, i'm running natty narwhal, and when i try and drop the text editor into the launch bar, it doesn't stay in there. why is this? [16:04] hi what are available file managers for ubuntu ? [16:06] Wisien, besides Nautilus there is also Thunar, PCManFM, GNOME Commander, ROX-Filer [16:06] Wisien, search in the ubuntu software center by word file manager [16:07] Guys anyone know what is phpMyAdmin's default username in xampp (lampp) ?? [16:07] thanks, i need intuitive file manager like in windows or similar to total commander [16:08] vivekrp:pma [16:08] Wisien: What is intuitive about MS Windows' file manager? [16:09] geshp: Tried it. But getting "Cannot log in to the MySQL server". Whats default password? [16:09] Wisien: What is intuitive about explore? [16:09] usage, its user friendly [16:09] vivekrp:i dont think it sets a pass by default [16:09] Wisien, "unix is user friendly as well, it's just picky about who it's friends are" ;) [16:10] hi everyone, is there anyone that wouldn't mind wasting a few seconds of their life (lol) helping me out choose a netbook? (i dont think this could be on topic here if so please just tell me i dont want to bother anyone) i'm looking at a few brands but now i'm really concerned about build and compatibility with linux, looks like the hardware is mainly the same but im really having some paranoia right now lol [16:10] geshp: Yes. I set it using /opt/lampp/lampp security and gave and password. Now when tried to login using pma and password its not working [16:10] unix can be hard to learn it has lots of commands and manuals [16:10] hello. how do I enter the system using usb device with Ubuntu and a terminal? [16:10] Wisien: Since MS Windows relies so heavily on file extensions and explore hides those extensions, I find it somewhat less than intuitive. [16:10] usr13: That is extremely annoying [16:11] Wisien: But the file manager is GUI. There are no commands [16:11] edbian: I'm sorry. I'll try to control my comments :( [16:11] is there full desktop zoom without compiz? [16:11] yes [16:11] usr13: No no. I agree with you. Windows relying on file extensions is extremely annoying [16:11] Wisien, what is it? i don't like compiz [16:11] Wireless touble: Using a Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, when i try to do 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' i get: Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [16:12] what do I do with grub-rescue_ [16:12] hi, how can i find out with apt/aptitude from which source a suggested package update is coming from? [16:12] ? [16:12] i want to use different window manager.. but i like full desktop zoom [16:12] yunosh: apt-cache policy packagename [16:12] Wisien: What is wrong with the default file manager you are seeing now? [16:12] mgj: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [16:12] oCean: thanks [16:12] usr13: You're not annoying me at all :) [16:12] edbian, SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [16:12] edbian: I know, was just kidding ..... [16:12] Hi all! [16:13] anybody_ [16:13] vivekrp:why not just reset the pass in mysql query? [16:13] nothing wrong , i look at the windows gui and ubuntu ... [16:13] ? [16:13] mgj: You need to get a driver for your card. What card / chipset do you have? [16:13] geshp: Code? [16:13] edbian, from what i can find on google, it *should* be supported. Its a Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG [16:13] Wisien: Once you learn a little more about Linux, you will realize it's not difficult, just different. [16:14] geshp: I mean command? [16:14] edbian, if it did not have a driver, i shouldn't see it when i do 'iwconfig'.... correct? [16:14] mgj: agreeed. What driver is listed for it in sudo lspci -k ? [16:14] vivekrp, xampp shouldn't really be supported in this channel, as Ubuntu provides the same packages - but you've chosen to use a 3rd party instead [16:14] yes, it has other philosophy than win [16:14] hello [16:14] mgj: Is it showing up in iwconfig? [16:14] yea [16:14] i have a problem with indicator clock, it doesn't show the date of the zone I choose (in the list), can anyone help me? [16:14] mgj: What name does it have in iwconfig [16:14] edbian, http://pastebin.com/p2hs0HhC [16:15] vivekrp: shutdown mysql: /etc/init.d/mysql stop [16:15] mgj: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up says what? [16:15] vivekrp: start it with grant: mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & [16:15] edbian, SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [16:15] ZykoticK9: I have installed it on ubuntu 11.04. And i know its not xampp channel. so posted on #apachefriends but no one replyed there so askign here. [16:15] vivekrp: go to sql shell: mysql -u root [16:15] anybody home? [16:16] mgj: What driver is being listed in sudo lspci -k ?? [16:16] mgj: Do you know the essid? [16:16] hi, i'm running natty narwhal, and when i try and drop the text editor into the launch bar, it doesn't stay in there. what is wrong? [16:16] vivekrp: update user set password=password('whateveryouwant') where User='pma'; (pma or root or whatever) [16:16] vivekrp: followed by: flush privileges; and quit [16:16] edbian, disclaimer: Helping a friend. I *think* he messed around with /etc/network/interfaces to fix it. I changed it back to only contain the loopback "lo" device. [16:17] edbian, i dont.... actually see the driver [16:17] how do I enter my system using a live cd? [16:17] How do I feed a list of packages to aptitude and then resolve the dependencies interactively? [16:17] mgj: Does it contain only the lo device? [16:17] vivekrp: then /etc/init.d/mysql stop followed by /etc/init.d/mysql start [16:17] mgj: can you pastebin sudo lspci -k ? [16:17] edbian, yes [16:17] sec [16:17] vivekrp: whew that should be it to do a mysql reset [16:17] anyone knows how ubuntu display and gui works? [16:17] geshp: When i command : /opt/lampp/bin/mysql . Its giving an error : " Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" [16:17] mgj: sudo lspci -k | pastebinit [16:17] afroman, you could see the chroot directions in the !grub2 link [16:17] is it xree86 or x11 [16:17] mgj: Then /etc/network/interfaces is correct. (it's a good sign it shows up in iwconfig) I suspect the firmware is missing but first I wanna see the ipw2200 driver there [16:18] Wisien: xorg [16:18] vivekrp: you have to restart mysql with the --skip-grant-tables option [16:18] Wisien, Xfree86 was replaced on most (probably all) distros by Xorg quite some time ago [16:18] Morning all. I'm on 11.04, running Chrome. I know there's an update in the future for this, but does anyone know of anyway to watch Netflix streams right now? Does Moonlight work? [16:18] Wisien: It's elaborate. I know how it works at various level. None of which are complete :P [16:18] ZykoticK9: what is the !grub2 link? [16:18] jtreminio: You cannot watch netflix on linux :( [16:18] !grub2 > afroman [16:18] afroman, please see my private message [16:18] edbian: noooooooooooooo [16:19] i need to chceck what graphics chipset i have [16:19] edbian, i dont see the ipw2200 driver. Pastein: http://pastebin.com/q0XH3zKK [16:19] jtreminio: do not want! [16:19] how to do it [16:19] hi [16:19] mgj: reading... [16:19] Wisien, "lspci | grep -i vga" [16:19] Wisien: lspci [16:19] thx [16:19] never used ubuntu bfore just installed latest releasse and have a simple question [16:20] mgj: The only wifi card I see is a broadcom BCM4309 on the last line. There is no intel 2200 [16:20] mgj: You've got some 'splaning to do! [16:20] is there a program list like in windows. i have libre draw (or something like that) but it isnt in the left hand widget displaying programs etc === OerHeks is now known as Oer [16:20] and i cant find how to access it [16:21] edbian, you are correct. Think i have been fooled by either the dell website (which claims broadcom is only used in the asia market) or my friend :P. Im sorry [16:21] jhfdj: hit your Windows key and type "libre" [16:21] ugh.... broadcom wifi trouble [16:21] ok thanks [16:21] have tried fixing broadcom before, such a pain [16:21] hey guys where are background images kept again? [16:21] edbian, none the less, there is a driver, why cant i scan? [16:21] is there a simple way of seeing and accessing the installed program list on the desktop without having to type in the name of the program [16:21] shouldnt i be able to? [16:21] mgj: no worries. I am more confident with this chipset! [16:22] really? awesome [16:22] sw0rdfish, /usr/share/pixmaps maybe? [16:22] broadcom is *not* just used in asia damn thats so wrong [16:22] jhfdj: No [16:22] mgj: do you have a /lib/firmware/b43 folder ? [16:22] that could be an improvement suggestion then n'est pas [16:22] geshp, i know, only speaking about this specific laptop [16:22] for ease of use etc time etc [16:22] mgj: is that a mini by any chance? [16:22] surely [16:22] edbian, i dont. I do have a "brcm" folder tho [16:23] jhfdj: Do you realize that if you had close to a thousand icons on the Desktop it would be impossible to find anything? [16:23] geshp, i dont know. Not my laptop, helping a friend remotely [16:23] ahh gotcha [16:23] ZykoticK9, nice one [16:23] mgj: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer This will install the firmware needed by the driver to use your card. [16:23] or at least be able to open it from the installed software list [16:24] or find the path to where it is from there in right click menu. eg do u want to open this [16:24] jhfdj: They are all accessable via the start menu. [16:24] how [16:24] edbian, nice! Guess that means i dont have to deal with the pains of ndiswrapper? [16:24] usr13, "start menu" eh? ;) [16:24] mgj: I don't think so [16:24] ZykoticK9: Ok, well what should I call it? [16:24] the widget aint big enough to show all programs in just has libre write and the presentation one [16:24] usr13, ? [16:25] edbian, scanning seems to work, awesome! Thanks a lot [16:25] ZykoticK9: But it IS a start menu. Right? [16:25] mgj: You can get on a network? [16:26] I'm better than the documenation! linux wireless lists this card but not what driver covers it. And under the b43 driver it does not list this card. ubuntu packages don't mention bcm4309 at all [16:26] edbian, will try, but i assume so. At least, it is able to find multiple networks [16:26] i mean an easy access to software list or something is just an obvious necessity surely. unless linux users are so clever they dont need it [16:26] I just got it to work [16:26] usr13, "start menu" is a windows term, so you can call it that if you like (everyone will know what you are talking about) [16:26] Hi, i have a laptop that gets very hot. what is the recommended way to set up power save for hard drives? [16:26] mgj: Finding networking basically means the card is working [16:26] it is a visual interface not dos [16:26] thats a good start in my book =) [16:26] mgj: sure [16:26] ive heard the next release of windows is also trying to move away from the start-button mentality [16:26] Hi, GDM doesn't start anymore and I have errors about loading the nvidia driver. But sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current did not help [16:26] hmmm WHAT did they do with the gnome samegame ? [16:27] usr13, i was just joking around with you, thus the ;) at the end. But i really don't have an alternate suggestion... [16:27] i mean thats a big flaw really innit [16:27] its bleadin obvious one [16:27] wood for the trees... [16:27] see... [16:27] hmm starting to wonder about you lot [16:28] Just for your information fail-safe x works [16:28] jhfdj: far as i can tell you're complaining about no list of software? [16:28] yes [16:28] magnetron, I'm not sure that harddrives generate all that much heat. Is this really the best way of handling the problem? [16:28] dr_willis: I read that. All tiles just like windows phone 7 [16:28] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/use-classic-menu-in-unity-classicmenu.html [16:28] jhfdj: theres plenty of ways to list software...installed running or available to be installed [16:28] theres getting to be a lot of neat Unity Indicator-applets and lens out it seems. :) [16:28] jhfdj, FYI Gnome2/classic has a list of installed programs - you're talking about a Unity shortcoming [16:28] blz: it's old and i just want to save some power. what would you recommend? turning off the computer? [16:28] yes unity [16:29] got it from a linux mag [16:29] fed up of worms [16:29] Is there a way to override the Hidden Files filter for Nautilus? I still want to hide all hidden files/folders, EXCEPT for any ".htaccess" files - I want those to always be visible [16:29] in windows [16:29] last one was a rootkit called avg10 [16:29] I was able to run the normal gnome-panel on unity also. :) looked a litle weird.. but it worked.. [16:29] jtreminio, not that i have ever seen [16:29] magnetron: well that would certainly work =). Otherwise open it up and clear the heatsink of dust. That can make a HUGE difference. [16:30] anyone used commercial unixes here? [16:30] unless you really know about computers you might as well just reinstall everything after infected. [16:30] Wisien: please stay on topic [16:30] magnetron, otherwise, I'd throttle CPU power, dim the backlight, and run powertop [16:30] ok [16:30] jtreminio, i don't think you can selectively hide things - they're either hidden, or not --- FYI ctrl+h will show hidden in nautilus [16:30] ZykoticK9: yeah I've been doing that ... was hoping though! Thanks anyway [16:30] magnetron, and there's an option to spin down hard disks in the power management app installed by default [16:31] is there an alternative to linux. you have windows linux and there must be something else lurking out there no one talks about... [16:31] jhfdj: this channel is about ubuntu support. [16:31] blz: the cpu power is already throttled. the heat is coming directly from the place where the hdd is so i'm pretty sure that's the problem, it's constantly spinning. i use the command-line version of ubuntu. [16:31] jhfdj: maybe you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:31] jhfdj, *BSDs are another free OS out there [16:32] ok well off to waste time finding libre paint put that in suggestion box for unity pls clever people thanks [16:32] jhfdj, check the disrtowatch web site.

[16:33] On ubuntu 11.04 ,how to fix mon0 is fixed on channal -1 in airodump-ng, broadcom wireless card, b43 driver [16:33] ciao ragazzi mi potete suggerire come posso installare i driver di un scanner lide 110? sono novello su ubuntu e mi sto cimentando da qualche giorno . grazie per la collaborazione. [16:33] magnetron: Hmm. Concerning the heat, it's possible (and somewhat likely) that because hard drives tend to conduct heat, it feels hotter after some time. I'd still check out the heatsink. As far as disk power management goes, I forget how it's done [16:33] !it | giulio [16:33] giulio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[16:40] yes [16:40] xcc112: What card / chipset do you have? [16:40] Stereocaulon: fsck operates at the level of the filesystem, and so is more or less orthogonal to raid/lvm status. [16:40] broadcom wireless card [16:40] xcc112: I need the number, bcm43XY what are x and y? You can find out by running sudo lspci -k [16:41] ok sec [16:41] xcc112: It' big!

[17:14] sipior: So how do I fix this fail? [17:15] CainFoool: which version of ubuntu are you running, and when did the problem begin? [17:15] cost of parts would be more then a new one in most cases.. [17:15] sipior: Ubuntu 10.04 ; and it happened 2 days ago. [17:15] CainFoool: what did you change on the system 2 days ago? [17:15] mgj: sadly i cant buy them here :S [17:15] what, really? [17:15] sipior: Erm.. I chmod'd / by 0777 xD [17:15] thought they were very global [17:15] dr_willis: i couldnt agree more :D [17:16] mgj: they are but here noone sells lol [17:16] CainFoool: you could've saved us a great deal of time mentioning that at the beginning... [17:16] =( [17:16] Hi! How do I make the week start on monday in 10.10? [17:16] sipior: So how do I fix it then [17:16] killoww, you could use that thing.... whats it called.... interwebz? to buy one :P [17:16] CainFoool: boot from a rescue cd (or boot into single-user mode), and fix the permissions. [17:16] hi, how can i get gedit to stay in the quick-launch bar on natty narwhal? [17:17] mgj: lol, problems are that 1 my company needs to buy them directly from the manufacturer (and thats a big one) 2 that they re not sold on national territory anyways so id need an imported product [17:17] sipior: I have been doing that, I've been booting off an Ubuntu Live CD (my previous install one) and i got the README file chmod'd to 0440 this morning, but once I did it I get the PErmission Denied error. [17:18] sipior: Would fsck fix it? [17:18] killoww, fair enough. I honestly know nothing about how IBM goes about selling to companies [17:18] CainFoool: no. [17:18] mgj: ibm rocks, i don't know how they got our former machines lol [17:18] mgj: you happen to have experiences with hp dell or toshiba? [17:19] Im afraid i dont.

[18:25] @techzilla, how do I login with Ubuntu Classic mode? [18:25] !classic [18:25] 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".

I have boot options, the Ubuntu load screen and the desktop with slideshow. in that order [18:28] tsaknorris: what would ath9k.conf be used for? [18:28] pksadiq: i think i can do it with openoffice [18:28] i installed ubuntu 11.04... and then after i installed propritory drivers of my graphic card, but after installing them graphical display were not working properly [18:28] can anyone recommend a good p2p client that connects to gnutella2 and all the kinds of networks like mldonkey connects to [18:28] @Sintient, this stupid oversight of the wubi people, shoudl'nt stop you from using ubuntu, its still th ebest distro for new people, and truthfully even experienced people [18:28] alienmindtrick, Did you check your "boot order" in BIOS? === klown is now known as klownish [18:28] please pm me [18:28] sidewinder: how?

[18:29] alienmindtrick, Would you like to take this to PM? [18:29] sidewinder: whatever's appropriate [18:29] @Sintient, I used to be a debian only person, but 5 years ago I tried ubuntu and like it.. but it wasn't llike it is now. the last 2 years I tried it agin, and it was flexible like debian but cleaner as well === klownish is now known as klown [18:29] tsaknorris: it's a kernelmodule [18:30] yeah it is [18:30] antlong: i'm looking for a batch converter. not a one by one manually [18:30] arunkumar413: I think wkhtmltopdf is somewhat like that [18:30] tsaknorris: you can see more info using modinfo ath9k, and change options using /etc/modprobe.d/ [18:30] Sintient: on sex [18:30] sec [18:30] ...not commenting on how that typo looked [18:31] can any one help me.from where can i get guide line about triaging a bug ?

I have faith that I can find a way to make it work, but it it is becoming more frustrating. [18:33] well......... who'd like to old gmaes like gta san andres that can use opengl for rendoring ported to ubuntu [18:33] @Sintient, it is not ubuntu that is broken, it is the wubi install method [18:33] can anyone help me install this http://paste.ubuntu.com/628515/ [18:33] @Sintient, it is always recommended to do a regular install... but to just try it out wubi it ok, if working [18:34] use wubi to see if your hardware works... if wubi doesnt work your hardware doesnt work [18:34] @techzilla, so how do I do a regular install. [18:34] i have found a software called CyberLink_PowerDVD11 in windows it can play videos in 3D ! does linux have any kind of softwares like that [18:35] @Sintient: that is a whole nother story, its not difficult.. but needs some time and a good description online === KindOne is now known as MeanOne [18:35] @dasupergamer, so I should assume that my Eee PC is not practical for Linux? Seems like a sweeping generalization. [18:35] @Sintient: try wubi with classic install to see if you like it [18:35] what.... can you tell me your make and model.....

It took me all morning to figure out how to use IRC [18:37] try fermorting the ubuntu partition and then reinstall ubuntu [18:37] reformating* [18:38] @Sintient, but I don't know that many people who use GNU/Linux for years and go back to windoze... most that go back to MS either have to for apps, or go back in frustrating defeit after months at most [18:38] linux can connect to a windows box using RDP, can I set somthing up to use mstsc to connect TO my linux box? [18:39] @Sintient: are you a computer person?, or in IT, or student (like young student HS or BS) [18:39] thats why i still use windows.... giving u... gonan try again but a step at a time... wubi testing is done... so now time for partition and dual boot.... but will sue BCD bootloader [18:39] use* [18:39] well anyway very crappy wlan connection [18:39] I use windows and linux [18:39] on windows its fast [18:39] @techailla, I will look around for WUBI with classic install. I would love to be able to never use MS again. So far I haven't been able to [18:39] I like them both, for different reasons, use the one you like and move on [18:39] @Sintient: what about the link I sent you???

[19:02] *reposting* can someone help me unistall phpmyadmin from my ubuntu? [19:02] iNethack, What you need to do is use the Win7, defrag function and defrag it at least twice; then shrink it to the final size that you need for the NTFS partition. Then using Gparted from LiveCD make a new logical partition and format it to ext3/ext4 and install ubuintu there. Make sure that you back-up all data from your NTFS partition prior to doing the above. [19:03] thanks ubottu, didn't even know [19:03] hi [19:03] I am a linux newbie and am using Ubuntu Ultimate edition (jaunty).I tried to update my sys. through terminal using 'sudo apt-get update'. I am getting a series of error msgs like "Err http://in.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/restricted Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.30 80]". Can anyone tell me how to update and upgrade my distro? I know that my version is no longer supported. [19:03] Sidewinder1: I can't do that! GParted says my drive is 320GB of free space [19:03] Sidewinder1: so if I try to format it, it will format the entire drive. I can't create partitions or anything [19:04] Just FYI my drive is 320GB in size [19:04] rahulr92: Ubuntu Ultimate edition is not supported here [19:04] rahulr92: jaunty is EOL and the utlimate edition is not supported in this channel [19:05] ill be back in a min, ill try it again [19:05] brb [19:05] How to create a shared folder for another user?

[19:06] !gnome3 | kender_ it's not supported [19:06] kender_ it's not supported: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely.

[19:07] kender_ , there are so many of them, they are by definition "Personal" even if they are Public [19:07] MoleMan, use the new apt ppa syntax [19:07] @moleman via software sources [19:07] found in the ubuntu software central [19:07] MoleMan , as long as you hava recent ubuntu [19:08] sup?! [19:08] MoleMan , on the ppa page there is a help for using the ppa, they show the command there [19:08] erm... is that a GUI tool? i'm using server 11.04 so i just have command line... [19:08] MoleMan , my reccomendation was for CMD [19:09] techzilla: I meant the ppa pointed by ubottu [19:09] kender_, my bad [19:09] I understand it's unstable and I installed it taking that risk [19:09] MoleMan: use apt-add-repository [19:09] but it doesn't mean there couldn't be a solution to my problem ;-) [19:10] How ubuntu admin share other users folder? [19:10] Hello, I have a question about MIT / GPL / LGPL licensing [19:10] kender_: correct, but "not supported" means that it is not supported in this channel [19:10] oCean: alright ;-) thanks anyway [19:10] oCean i tried that but it said command not found [19:11] does anyone know if there is an unoffical ubuntu support channel for kender? [19:11] actually, would like to know myself especially for ppa launchad stuff [19:11] whats kender [19:11] hii [19:11] the user [19:11] I cant update [19:11] dasupergamer: he means for me [19:11] I am wondering if it is possible to use NLopt (C library) in a commercial development task [19:11] is guess @kender [19:11] It shows error http://pastebin.com/Sn5FpbGn [19:11] MoleMan: maybe it's optional command. It is in the package python-software-properties [19:11] oh... whats the problem then [19:12] * ericP , hoping some network tool geeks are around, repeats earlier question: [19:12] the content of the directory which contains the suspicious code is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/628534/ I can't seem to find any valid posts about what this vulnerability is or how it gets installed on a computer. Anyone good with recovering from a hack? [19:12] I'm using a compiz with the standard (as in i didn't tweak anything) network controller interface (the thing which puts the the wifi icon in the main menu bar). [19:12] After a couple days, the menu that comes up when clicking the wifi icon is unresponsive (no meny selections do anything except for [More Netorks] and [VPN Connections], which paint a tiny empty box). [19:12] cant updAte It shows error http://pastebin.com/Sn5FpbGn [19:12] any ideas guys [19:12] How do I restart this tool in hopes of restoring network control without having to log out? [19:12] (Whatever restarts implied by reinstalling network-manager-gnome didn't do the trick.) [19:12] i can recover hacks... its called back up all data and files 'n' shen and reinstall [19:12] (This occurred after a 10.10 to 11.04 upgrade.)

How can I get those icons visible? [19:15] yes my command work, just tested it again [19:16] theadmin: Thanks... Will I have to manually do this for every PACKAGENAME? Do wildcards work (eg. "cups*") ? [19:16] i got the b43-fwcutter how do i install it? [19:16] cheshair, yes command "rm -rf ./.*" works as intened [19:17] i compiled it and it still says not intstalled [19:17] cheshair, you will get these messages though rm: cannot remove `.' directory `./.' [19:17] rm: cannot remove `..' directory `./..' [19:17] cheshair, but will delete only the . dirs === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [19:18] cheshair, we are specifing the directory with ./ (saying this current dir) then . [19:18] cheshair, you could also do "rm -rf ./\.*" if that makes you more comfortable [19:18] ^_^ [19:18] :( [19:19] \ = interprete literally [19:19] having bad luck with ubuntu 11.04 and my wifi card [19:19] Does "accountx" have to exist on "pca" and "pcb" to access files on both machines from each other?

What's the best way to get updated to 1.3? [20:19] I know what a ppa is.., but i honestly don't get your point for telling me that. [20:19] should i downgrade to version 9? [20:19] PwnusMaximus_, no, upgrade to 11.04 [20:19] froginvasion, Sorry, thought it might help... [20:19] ok, ill install that version and try again [20:19] jtran, Check launchpad for a PPA that has the newer version of euca2ools [20:19] bazhang: thank you [20:20] froginvasion, contact the maintainers PPA as that is not supported [20:20] jtran, Otherwise, compiling the program from source is your safest bet.

[20:21] pksadiq: thanks [20:21] that's all [20:21] jtran, On that launchpad page you should see a link that goes something like ppa:http:/somewebsite.com/ [20:21] froginvasion, sure, and PPA are unsupported. [20:21] no ppa seen. i guess from source then. [20:21] bazhang what does that have to do with anything? [20:21] !ppa > Giant81 [20:21] Giant81, please see my private message [20:22] froginvasion, you ask for help with the empathy ppa [20:22] froginvasion, No prob., that's why we're here; I just didn't have a specific answer and thought in might point you in the proper direction is you were unfamiliar with ppas. [20:23] * Sidewinder1 Sighs.. [20:23] I'm not asking specific help to the ppa, im just informing you that i used the telepathy ppa. and with that you might have a solution by asking me questions about it. And looking at my sources.list, or telling me how i can fix broken package problems or dependency problems [20:23] Sidewinder1 that's ok. I appreciate it [20:23] Could someone help me with Ubuntu 11.04? [20:24] MykehDoom: try asking your question to the channel [20:24] froginvasion, I use Synaptic as it will intuitively solve most dependency, broken pacgage problems. [20:24] How to I disable the stock wireless drivers that come with 11.04? [20:25] MykehDoom: why do you want to? [20:25] Does anyone know the name of the GTK widget test package? (seen here: http://twitpic.com/5cuy3m/full) [20:25] MykehDoom: one way would be to blacklist them [20:25] froginvasion, Besides, I just like frogs. :-) [20:25] Because the default drivers don't work with my wireless card, It's a Belkin F7D1101 wireless usb adapter [20:25] hey guys i am trying to do openssl req -key existin_key.key -out foo.csr and it just gets stuck [20:26] what am i missing? [20:26] MykehDoom: does Additional Drivers give you the choice of other drivers? [20:26] Okay so I have a little server I'm setting up at home to play with when I'm away at college and I want to get it set up so I can just administer it via ssh. This is easy. The problem is, the computer doesn't have a dedicated monitor(hence ssh) and sits out in the garage connected by a lan cable. I noticed that the internet doesn't connect until you log in, which is hard to do without a monitor(and if it resets I don't want to have to log it in every time). [20:26] Is there a way to either make it connect to the network on boot, or to set up auto log in from the terminal? [20:26] I have to have the internet to change it. [20:26] wryfry [20:26] And I can only use wireless. [20:27] MykehDoom: you can't hook it up via a wired connection? [20:27] ...

[20:57] MK``, report the bug ? :o [20:57] I'm running linux kernel 2.6.32-32-generic, but that's a bit too old for newest nouveau dev build.. how do I get 'freshier' kernel? [20:57] One time isn't a problem, but few times… [20:57] MK``: We don't even know if it'll solve -- but it's the good approach to find out. Also, if you're experencing issues with a drawer. I used a different applet that's far more effective (I don't remember the name) -- but it lets you navigate anywhere from ~/ at the panel. [20:57] Cheery, what version of ubuntu [20:57] Hullo! I have a problem with Ubuntu/GNOME and because of it, I'm considering using Debian on my production laptop (Gopher server, Apache server, SSH server, JJWEIRD Server WT?) [20:58] ok so im using this mifi mobile hotspot, and in the debug console it says: [20:58] jjovereats: Excellent choice for production workstation, imo. [20:58] Hey. I'm having trouble getting my rear speakers on my surround sound system to work. is this the right place to get help? what info would you need if it is? [20:58] k [20:58] I figured out what was killing the drawer: apparently the terminal shortcut I added becomes invalid or something [20:59] bazhang: how do I get it figured through a tty?

I guess it'd be time to upgrade anyway. === UG1 is now known as Mkaysi [21:00] may have to talk to the mifi sponsor [21:00] red being me? [21:01] bazhang: can I do that without reinstalling the whole shitey? [21:01] yes - redmenace [21:01] Cheery, pardon? [21:01] yeah thats what i think its not ubuntu's problem is it? [21:01] What is the gconf gui program I can use to edit settings? I forget the name [21:02] MK``, gconf-editor [21:02] red - no I don't think Ubu has anything to do with it, although I have never hooked up to a verison hot spot before [21:02] bazhang: referred at the perceived great spaghetti monster inhabiting my computer that's called a distribution. === alex_ is now known as Amoz [21:02] bazhang: :) [21:03] yeah jeflex do think the device might have like firmware issues? [21:03] bazhang: nvm. I go on and freak out with aptitude [21:04] probably not - do you know if it works without configuration on a windows box - you may have to install avaha-discovery [21:04] avahi-discovery [21:04] hi [21:05] bazhang: thanks from help. I get on with upgrading. [21:05] that may help too - I didn't think about that before I thought about it [21:05] thanks but its working on my ubu 9,10 desktop [21:05] if that makes any sense!! [21:05] then it may be avahi [21:06] what should I do if there's no configure script? there is configure.ac [21:06] that allows for zero config [21:06] yeah iknow!! [21:06] ok, now how can I get gnome-panel to run without this terminal window open? [21:06] and its worked before too [21:06] good then you are there! I guess!! [21:06] hey guys, it looks like empathy doesn't support OTR? [21:06] is that correct? [21:06] sorry [21:07] MK``: "screen gnome-panel" :P [21:07] red - are you sure your wireless adapter is working properly [21:07] MK``: "ALT+F2" -- Type in "killall gnome-panel" -- It should run automatically (it just have to). [21:07] sometimes they tend to crap out [21:07] and need rebooting and reconfiguring\ [21:07] Someone have tried to configure ubuntu using tv as monitor? [21:07] are there any known compatability issues with external monitors on a laptop running ubuntu? [21:07] yeah ill test it tonite @ my library [21:08] When I put "killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel" in the alt+f2 menu, it killed itself and didn't run it. Why the hell is that dialog tied to the panel? XD [21:08] good plan! [21:08] :-) [21:08] yes it connected!!!!!!!!!!! [21:08] hi rns.... i have the same problem [21:08] Hullo! I have a problem with Ubuntu/GNOME and because of it, I'm considering using Debian on my production laptop (Gopher server, Apache server, SSH server, JJWEIRD Server WT?) [21:08] omg it worked!!!!!!!!! [21:08] My problem is that it keeps making my PC overheat. [21:08] saburo, do you have a monitor now or are you looking to buy one? [21:08] :):)::):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) [21:09] rns I have tries to connect my laptop using tv as monitor [21:09] Debian is fast, light, and DESIGNED for the user's PC, rather than Ubuntu which is now designed around the user's stupid side rather than his/her smart side. [21:09] jjovereats, i kinda gotta aggree [21:09] =) [21:09] I have found that the last release of ubuntu have a bug [21:09] Ah... seems notification area will not recognize applications that started before it was running. Must be part of the session daemon. [21:10] saburo - is it an HDMI tv or just a regular tv [21:10] is a hdmi tv [21:10] config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.h.in' <--- what to do?

[21:12] jjovereats, editorial commentary elsewhere please [21:12] with te previous release of linux kernel all go well [21:12] saburo - so its not working now, when it was working before? [21:12] yes [21:13] jjovereats: it isn't, they are making a free and open OS, you are free to choose what do you want to have installed or not - I'd be happy to talk with you about this on #ubuntu-offtopic [21:13] after update I've found the problem [21:14] then I'd go back a version until it works,and then try to figure out what is what is wrong what is wrong with the driver [21:14] * jjovereats feels faint [21:14] j #ubuntu-offtopic [21:15] I know that if i boot the laptop with kernel ending with 35 all work [21:16] hi there....trying to install ubuntu 11.04 i386 on my box....Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown-bock(8,1) [21:16] what is going on here? [21:16] beli: did you do anything special? [21:17] this happens while booting from usb cdrom [21:17] saburo - when you are booting your computer, do you get the menu about different kernals you can use? [21:17] beli: usb cdrom might indicate bad media. [21:17] rly: the system was running windows server....i dropped some harddiscs from the system......remaining with two 1tb dics with hardware raid... [21:18] yes....to start laptop and to use the tv I must go to previous linux version [21:18] alsamixer recognizes the rear speakers on my card, but i have no option to select 5.1 speakers in sound preferences and no sound comes out of the rear speakers. any suggestions? [21:18] rly: it happens with other linux cdroms too...not specific to that ubuntu cdrom [21:18] beli: so, perhaps you need drivers to access the data. [21:18] rly: you mean for the hardware raid? or for the sata discs? [21:19] Please have a look at this >> http://pastebin.com/UeUprsgn [21:19] beli: I mean for the hardware raid. [21:19] beli: It might very well be possible that you cannot boot from it. [21:19] beli: if you need drivers to control the raid, and the drivers need to be on those harddisks, then it is never going to work. [21:20] rly: if i cannot get a driver for linux, ok.... [21:20] beli: now, I have never had a hardware raid, so perhaps I am wrong. [21:20] saburo - now it's easy!! just have to figure out what is different in the configuration when you use the newer kernel - whave version are you using [21:20] rly: ok, but sounds possible....then i would need a sata disc outside the raid to boot from [21:20] beli: yes [21:20] where can i get the latest linux drivers for intel gma x4500 or g43/g45 chipset for linu [21:20] linux* [21:21] additional drivers perhaps jlholmes21 [21:21] nope doesnt show up [21:21] beli, for any RAID setups you might want to try the Alternate CD rather then the LiveCD - best of luck. [21:21] only ati and nvidia show up there [21:21] ZykoticK9: ah right, thanks [21:22] so where can i get them [21:22] gotta run - be back later!! [21:22] jlholmes21, no idea if they are not there [21:23] jefelex I don't understand.

[21:28] codex84, "default gateway" is network specific, so there is no "default" [21:29] codex84: usually the one your DHCP server tells you to use === HipsterPilif is now known as Pilif12p === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:30] well i know in windows is 19.168.1.1 [21:30] but in ubuntu shows different [21:31] codex84, i'm assuming that's really 192.168.1.1 (very common for home routers), Ubuntu should "probably" be the same [21:31] yea your right [21:32] hey my wireless card all of a sudden stopped working [21:32] im using wicd, and when i put in "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" i get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [21:32] " [21:32] hey guys, im rather new to ubuntu and i was wondering if there is a easy GUI frontend that can be "bolted" to any termial program [21:32] whats wlan0 [21:33] ? [21:33] flaiks, if you are using a laptop/portable - do you have some hardware switch (typically a key combination) to turn wireless on/off? [21:33] like for example, slapping a GUI ontop of Diablo the bitcoin miner and have all the options listed as a check list [21:33] anyone got an idea? :< [21:33] ZykoticK9, yeh i tried that [21:33] and the outcome can be written in plain english, before you execute [21:33] PwnusMaximus_: wouldnt be to hard to write one with zenity i guess... [21:34] ZykoticK9: one thing i dont understand...why is it trying to mound the root fs from the harddrives?! it should just boot from cdrom....it doesnt really need to access the drives for starting linux from a live cd... [21:34] do you think that would be a good program for new users? ones that are bad at writing out commands? [21:34] beli, ? i have no idea, sorry [21:34] like me [21:35] PwnusMaximus_: zenity is a tool for scripting frontends. but you still have to script it. then you could hand it out to friends [21:35] hmmmm what language? [21:35] PwnusMaximus_: shell [21:36] PwnusMaximus_: you'd write a shell script that calls into zenity to say "make a checkbox!" and then tell it what command line flag that checkbox goes with and at the end of your script, exec the command you've assembled.... should be possible [21:36] PwnusMaximus_: but MagicallyMakeGUIForCmd $cmd that doesnt exist [21:36] i think i will give that a shot, because Diablo miner would be 1000x easyer if there was a front hend [21:37] hell most everything is awkward in the terminal for me [21:37] hello everyone... [21:37] scriptwarlock: hi dr nick! [21:37] PwnusMaximus_: if zenity's not powerful enough, pygtk and pyqt are also both fairly easy to use (and ubuntu's Quickly project makes it easy to get started with rapid app development) [21:38] ill copy their names down. [21:38] is PYQT a fork of QT? [21:38] PwnusMaximus_: its the python bindings for Qt [21:38] maco, your suggestions to PwnusMaximus_ seem better for an experienced user, rather then a "new user" that is "bad at writing out commands" [21:39] is it possible to prevent transfering a music file to usb with file permission? [21:39] i can copy and paste commands from forum posts just fine ;) [21:39] ZykoticK9: well there's nothing that's going to magic a gui into existence, but if PwnusMaximus_ and a friend can put their heads together to do a bit of shell scripting they could make something to share with other new users (and advance a bit themselves) [21:40] scriptwarlock: if your usb has a partition type that supports it, I think [21:40] maco, true. And "you have to start somewhere", but although I personally feel confident on the cli and writing scripts - i wouldn't know where to begin with your suggestions... just sayin' [21:41] <_jay> hey all, I'm trying to figure out what inputs translate to numpad keys and mouse button clicks [21:41] scriptwarlock: I thought it was from, sorry you said to, any way it is possible [21:41] <_jay> I guess its an Xorg thing [21:42] <_jay> numpad 3 = KP_3? [21:43] pksadiq: so do you mean thru file permission i can set a music file(mp) unmovable, can't be copied and unremovable? [21:43] a= [21:43] yes, I hope so [21:43] pksadiq: mp3* [21:43] ZykoticK9, and when i do rfkill unblock wlan0 it still wont let me put wlan0 up with ifconfig [21:43] flaiks, do you actually have a /dev/wlan0? [21:44] scriptwarlock: well but the partition the files are existing should be ext2,3,4 etc [21:44] ZykoticK9, weird, no i do not [21:45] _jay: looking for http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes.html ? [21:45] ZykoticK9, it is however showing in lspci, and i did modprobe ath9k to ensure the drivers were loaded [21:45] flaiks, ignore my last question [21:45] que onda [21:45] pksadiq: ok let me clear this out, i have an mp3 and i don't want anyone without my permission to copy it to their usb or any media type.. how do i set a file permission to it? [21:46] scriptwarlock: but if you set that you can read the file(hear), then its possible to copy too [21:46] <_jay> http://www.workinprogress.ca/kiku/about/ trying to make this work [21:46] Can someone give me a command to find large files on my University home folder?

[21:49] ZykoticK9: it is.. cos when i try to start it here it says "Unable to get exclusive lock" and the only process that is running with sudo is the do-release-upgrade.. [21:50] ZykoticK9: lol... thanks [21:50] scriptwarlock, depends what the permission on that file are. [21:50] yellowhead: that is because that error message is bad.

[22:27] basically if my /etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten [22:27] tuxicity: fluxbox is a really lightwight and fast wm.... [22:28] edgy: I wouldn't recommend that.

[22:28] rypervenche: in the other hand a security issue could come while I am sleeping, so there are use cases for it too [22:29] edgy: specify what packages NOT to upgrade automagically [22:29] how can i find out if i am using dhcp? basically if my /etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten [22:29] beli: aha! that file can reboot the system automatically after a certain update! fantastic [22:30] does there exist a package list of what's included in 10.04.2? [22:30] Goliath look at /etc/network/interfaces [22:30] how do I get unbanned from #ubuntu-offtopic? [22:31] im not even sure why I was banned [22:31] jasl, that only applies if you are NOT using Network Manager. Goliath [22:31] OK I don't user Network Manager [22:31] Goliat: type this cat /etc/network/interfaces [22:31] israel, see my post above to jasl [22:31] So turn off network manager [22:32] is there an op I can speak to so I can get this sorted out? [22:32] jasl, and you do that by specifying something in /etc/network/interfaces ;) [22:32] pretty please [22:32] Lulz [22:32] edgy: no, you just can define there what packages NOT to upgrade unattanded [22:32] Justfigureitout, try #ubuntu-ops [22:32] edgy: i dont recommend to do kernel upgrades automagically [22:32] How do I clean up unity dash? I install stuff under wine and remove them and they remain in unity dash. How do I remove them? [22:32] thanks bro [22:33] chkconfig network-manager off [22:33] May7be [22:33] how can i reset the packet numbers that are displayed in ifconfig? [22:33] and use /etc/init.d/network-manager stop [22:34] jon8: for what reason? [22:34] jasl, none of that is required - to disable N-M you just specify something in /etc/network/interfaces [22:34] beli i would like to use it to track easily track some statitics [22:35] ZykoticK9 OK [22:35] beli: there is a line there: Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false"; [22:35] beli: I guess this would reboot the system automatically, no? [22:36] jon8: thats not what ifconfig is ment to do...you could script something and calculate the difference manually...but there are better tools for countung packages sent... [22:36] ok [22:36] edgy: didnt know..but i still do not recommend to do that [22:36] Is anyone available to help with an issue?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:36] beli so is there or is there not a way to reset the packet counters in ifconfig [22:36] Sorry. [22:36] beli: I can understand your point but it's there for a reason, some cases require that [22:37] jon8: i guess not, you might trick it with overwriting some proc tree entries...but there are tools to do what you want [22:37] edgy: kernel upgrades may brake things....users might be logged in while you are going to reboot...and and and [22:37] I'm having a recurring issue with the latest version of Ubuntu desktop rebooting itself at 8am every moring. I've checked crons etc. Here's a snippet from the log: http://pastebin.com/54dTrwtf [22:38] beli: I know but in my case the server is a backup server and no users are logged in and it's better to fix something after broken that to have someone hacking the server becasue of late upgrade/patch [22:39] Hello, I'm a noob with this sort of thing and I'm having trouble getting openssl-dev, I'm on the latest version of Ubuntu. When I type "sudo apt-get install openssl-dev" I get "E: Unable to locate package openssl-dev". Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong... [22:39] stpvoice might be nice to see the syslog from just before the reboot. [22:39] Sure. Let me grab it.

The server restarts, but everything ends up showing me my default site. Any ideas? [22:40] sorted.. i used sudo apt-get upgrade [22:40] :P [22:40] hiya. how do i create a memory disk device, similar to md/vnconfig in freebsd? i have an image file with partition in it and i'd like to create a device i can mount from [22:40] Dataanti: may be you mean libssl-dev [22:40] I will try both [22:41] MrCraig: may be you need to specify you document root properly [22:42] edgy, thanks - good shout but actually if you set it to a non-existant directory the server throws an error on restart [22:42] edgy: there are kernel upgrades with no security reason....and guess you are doing backups.....and your auto-reboot ist running while you are doing them ;) [22:42] When I searched for it I got sudo: aptitude: command not found, when I tried replacing openssl-dev with libssl-dev, I got the same error. [22:43] http://pastebin.com/bSAHMqN3 [22:43] beli: rebooting in the middle of a backup won't cause problems for me. it's incremental so it would continue later anyway [22:43] Dataanti: what version of ubuntu? [22:43] Dataanti: apt-get [22:43] !aptitude [22:43] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [22:43] I have the latest [22:43] edgy: if the system isnt hanging cause of the new kernel ;) [22:43] Dataanti: If you want to use aptitude, sudo apt-get install aptitude [22:43] Dataanti: the latest no longer includes aptitude by default [22:43] MrCraig: I am not saying non-existent, i am saying may be it's still /var/www instead of you correct one [22:43] edgy: just points to think about...its your decision [22:44] Anyone shed any light on my issue? [22:44] beli: I can really understand your points, thanks for your care [22:44] edgy: Appreciated the response, I went and checked anyway. It's correct - and I tried adding a slash at the end in case that made a difference too ( I seem to recall it mattered to apache < version 2 ) [22:45] stpvoice I don't see anything wrong. [22:45] hi just reinstalled natty+gnome3 again but the UI doesnt refresh until you click on the menus. cant remeber how i fixed it ? [22:45] MrCraig: may be you need to paste the content of your vhost file [22:45] Dataanti: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=openssl [22:45] apt-get gives me E: Unable to locate package libssl-dev or E: Unable to locate package openssl-dev, as for aptitude, it said it was unavalible === Goliath|Away is now known as Goliath [22:46] Dataanti: what/who told you to download that package? [22:46] Dataanti: use sudo aptituse update then sudo aptitude search openssl [22:47] It's a requirement for a program I want to use [22:47] I'm having a recurring issue with the latest version of Ubuntu desktop rebooting itself at 8am every moring.

Where I'd put in the vhost files, it should have read [23:02] Dataanti: what version are you using?

It all depends on other config files [23:05] MrCraig: in your case because your ports.conf file has NameVirtualHost *:80, you need to specify the port [23:05] hi to all [23:05] gnari It looks like natty [23:06] im sorry may i ask my qustion here?
