I left it running and when I came back and shook the mouse all I see is a black screen and cursor. I can move the cursor with the mouse and I can get do different consoles by doing "ctrl+alt+f1". The hard drive activity LED is still blinking so I'm pretty sure ClamAV is still running. Is there any way I can get back to the main desktop and to ClamT [00:23] haddiman: ctrl + alt + f7 [00:24] NegativeOne, I don't use it because there is no need for me but are you changing settings via ccsm? [00:24] i've installed the compiz config manager, and i've tried doing stuff like compiz --replace and unity --reset, but they just crash my computer [00:24] iceroot: yea, all I see is a black screen and the cursor (which I can move) [00:24] fwiw, once you're in a VC you shouldn't need to press ctrl... just alt+Fn should do it [00:24] Can you launch the gui for the ccsm? [00:24] Nobgul-BNC, yes I am. It doesn't look like compiz is running though if I do ps -ax | grep compiz [00:24] only need the ctrl from X [00:25] haddiman: check top if %io is high, then clamav is still running. also why not run clamav from the shell instead from the gui? [00:25] NegativeOne, weird. [00:25] Nobgul-BNC, yes I can launch the gui [00:25] I need to trick the alternate cd to think that sda6 is the cdrom. how can I do that?

[00:26] +* 6`\/ [00:26] 7\ [00:27] iceroot: Because I'm a noob and I now realized that that was probably a better way to do it since I know X on the LiveCD can unreliable. What do you mean by "check top if %io is high"? [00:27] haddiman: in the console type "top" === inumedia__ is now known as Inumedia [00:28] K1ng, there is a sudo command errr sudo apt-get install -f openssh-server.

[00:29] *sudo [00:29] haddiman: then everything is fine [00:29] thank you Sudo* [00:29] yes [00:30] iceroot: If I did "ctrl+alt+backspace",would that end the clamscan process?

[00:51] froq: XMMS2 is not a traditional-style player application, it's more like a server, similar to mpd, and needs a client to do the actual playing [00:51] froq: or, better put, for controlling XMMS2 [00:51] yea [00:52] szal, what client do you recommend?!

[00:53] Hello, is anyone here a software developer :) [00:53] froq: it depends on what you want, but xmms2 is about as different from itunes as you can get ;) [00:53] saidian: can other machines mount the share? or maybe the settings on the mac are corrupt [00:53] can mount it from Win 7 laptop [00:53] hello :> i have a cd/dvd burner that is capable of burning dvd's at 16x (in linux, i've tried it under fedora using k3b and had no issues). however, in ubuntu, since around version 9.04, the fastest burning speed i can get out of it is 4x. is there something that i need to change? a group membership, configuration file somewhere? the problem is specific to ubuntu, i've used several other distributions and windows 7 and it's worked fine in all of them [00:53] termsilv: this is the ubuntu-support channel, if you need support with ubuntu use this channel, if you have questions about a language use the language-channel e.g. ##c++ [00:54] omg i cant even compile openssh [00:54] THAT SUCKS [00:54] chrisf, ok okay. lol... ...

[00:55] K1ng: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openssh-server [00:55] rrn: it's a meta package, not a huge deal, but you wan to reinstall it if you upgrade [00:55] rrn: You probably want it if you use ubuntu's desktop [00:55] K1ng: if that brings errors, please paste the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" [00:55] termsilv: Generally, you don't.

No message at all. [01:28] itaylor57: I think it's doing something though ... the mouse moves jerky. BUT the System monitor isn't showing anything with any CPU usage (highest CPU usage is the system monitor itself at 8%) [01:29] iceroot: http://pastebin.com/2RvS4eqC [01:29] james_1313: you can do this also without a live-cd [01:29] HelloWorld321, how did you install eclipse?

[01:32] K1ng`, do you mean just start in commandline? [01:32] Airris, yes [01:32] there's got to be way to do that, probably in x config stuff, or ubuntu startup logic [01:32] !nox [01:32] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[01:50] my webcam does,nt work......What Can I do?? [01:50] I have Natty, after a recent update, my flash in FireFox 4 stopped working. Any ideas? [01:50] iceroot: i read that it might be caused by too much data, and that might be the case (stupid duplicating mistake)... could i mount the drive and erase some of the duplicated files? [01:51] iceroot: not a fresh install [01:51] K1ng: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinkAggregation this is for eth0/1 [01:51] K1ng: sorry [01:51] so can anyone tell how do actually do a nox boot?

[01:52] iceroot, no. thanks. :D [01:52] hellp [01:52] iceroot: what do you need to look at? [01:53] iceroot, can i do iface bond0 inet dhcp? [01:53] james_1313: sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/ [01:53] can anyone direct me on using rescapp to overwrite the leftover grub from ubuntu [01:53] james_1313: please try that. the next step would be to move your gnome-config [01:53] I should add that all my music plays just fine... [01:53] bump [01:53] K1ng: you are using dhcp at your network? [01:54] iceroot, yes. 2 modem. both of them are dhcp [01:54] K1ng: then its fine [01:54] :D [01:56] Ok, so all of a sudden I can't minimize or otherwise control fullscreen windows. none of the commands for minimizing or anything work (alt-tab, alt-F9, alt-click) (Ubuntu 10.04).

[01:56] iceroot, let me check [01:57] Airris: it will resize the window [01:57] Airris: I know this sounds stupid, but have you restarted?

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:25] iceroot, http://pastebin.com/z7w6ugvC [02:25] Astriano: sudo apt-get install xmms2 === jellyman is now known as Guest6869 === Guest6869 is now known as jellyman72 [02:25] K1ng: and the place where eth0 eth1 and eth2 are meeting is your ubuntu-pc? [02:26] iceroot, its digram of my ubuntu pc :p [02:27] K1ng: ok so eth0/1 are using bonding. eth2 is just your lan [02:27] eth0: WAN, eth1: WAN, eth2: share internet to LAN [02:27] yes [02:27] hey guys how can i completly remove empathy (even all the configuration i did) [02:27] ¿? [02:27] K1ng: first step should be to configure eth0,1 and 2 correcxtly without using bonding [02:27] K1ng: that is a good base for further steps i guess [02:27] ok [02:28] esmirlin: maybe there is a dir called ~/.emphany ? that you have to delee [02:28] esmirlin: also using "sudo apt-get remove --purge emphany" [02:28] K1ng: i have to sleep now :( [02:29] ok [02:29] good night :) [02:29] Astriano: Check your private messages. [02:30] iceroot, thanks hotty!^^ [02:30] esmirlin, apt-get will NOT remove the users config files in their home dir. [02:30] hey, i know that this sounds crazy, but i'm trying to create a custom launcher for my terminal.. what do i use for the command???/ [02:30] tech7, to do what exactly? [02:30] dr_willis, so? [02:30] just open a terminal??? [02:30] esmirlin, 'even all the configuration i did' -> wjhat do you mean by that [02:31] tech7 gnome-terminal is the default terminal command. [02:31] cool, thanks dr_willis [02:31] tech7, you should be able to drag/drop it from the menu to the desktop [02:31] or from panel to desktop. or somehow. [02:31] i'm trying to make a keyboard shortcut on my xfce interface [02:32] xfce uses xfterm or xfterminal by default [02:32] You can use any of the terminal apps you want. [02:32] dr_willis, like all the folders and all configuration, as if i never installed it [02:32] yeah, but the default xfterm really kinda stinks.. i like using the gnome better.. [02:33] esmirlin, apt-get handles system config and system files. Not users home/personal configs.. if you need to erase those. You will need to find them and delete them by hand [02:33] xfce dosenthave the drag/drop support i think.. one of the reasons i dont care much for xfce [02:33] dr_willis, yes i know, but don't know where they are [02:33] thanks lovely people.. you all have a happy father's day [02:34] yeah, i like standard gnome much better, but i'm using a computer at work and i have to use virtualbox to run ubuntu of this machine.. since we 'exclusively' use windows software here [02:35] tech7:consider liveCD [02:36] TrD [02:37] sup [02:37] i've got plenty live cds.. but i need to keep the windows 7 running for other reasons.. i just boot up my virtualbox when it's time for me to get down to business :) [02:37] esmirlin, you will have to exolore the various .XXXX files and dirs then in your home [02:37] thanks guys [02:37] !windows [02:37] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [02:39] hi [02:39] Hello, everyone, in ubuntu, how to check on the situation of runlevel services? [02:40] afaty, the service command. [02:40] im not sure if the old sysv commands even work properly these days. [02:42] hi folks; getting a new lenovo t420 with 500gb hard drive. wondering whats the best way to do ubuntu install it? should i dual boot? does windows 7 take up a lot of space? [02:42] arooni-mobile, if you are lucky,. then windows wont be taking up 4 primary partitions like ive seen several new machines come with these days.. that can make installing linux a real pain. [02:42] ubuntu for ppc anyone? [02:43] How to use the command runlevel services on the situation? like redhat chkconfig - list [02:43] arooni-mobile, use win7 to resize the hard drive partitions. leave part of the HD unallocated. and let ubuntu install to the unallocated space. [02:43] olskolirc, every time ive ever used ppc linux. its always been very lacking. [02:43] afaty, the service command has a list option [02:43] dr_willis, how much space will i need to give to win7? i only want to boot into for a few apps; and wont fill upstorage [02:43] got a link dr_willis ? [02:44] arooni-mobile: 50GB would be reasonable. [02:44] arooni-mobile, no idea. if you are resizeing the windows partitions - it will depend on whats on it now. [02:44] !ppc [02:44] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [02:44] Example you can？ [02:44] afaty, service --help [02:45] tonyyarusso, and dr_willis ; i think if ihave a 500gb drive; its reasonable to keep 50gb of it for win7 ... seems useful? [02:45] arooni-mobile, my current laptop has 2 500gb hd's in it. :) [02:45] it all deopens on what you are doing in windows. [02:45] dr_willis, did you get rid of the cd drive? [02:45] arooni-mobile, nope.. its a beast of a laptop [02:46] <[an]droidman> arooni-mobile: i run xp with 30 gb for exactly the same reason [02:46] <[an]droidman> only use 20 gb of it [02:46] i did not even realize it had a slot for a 2nd hd untill i got it home. :) [02:46] a 'preinstalled windows 7' proberly has a lot of cruft you can remove also.. then theres the system-restore partions and other disk wasters [02:47] I did not mean [02:47] dr_willis, what do youhave? [02:47] arooni-mobile, toshiba X505 [02:47] its a back breaker [02:47] dr_willis, luckily win 7 home doesnt come with system restore:0 [02:47] arooni-mobile, the laptop makers proberly have some restore partitons on it. [02:48] so generally it seems wise not to completely wipe the win7 stuff off thedrive [02:48] when installing ubuntu [02:48] *probably [02:48] I mean how through the command / etc / rc.d / rc *. d / S * under the service. [02:48] arooni-mobile, these days - with a new laptop - i often buy a new HD when i get it and clone the original to the new one.. and keep the original 'safe' :) [02:48] arooni-mobile, that way when i give/sell the laptop. i just swap the hd back. [02:48] in this case.. i found out i had space for both hd's when i got home. [02:49] ls /etc/rc*.d/S* [02:49] like this [02:49] dr_willis, smart man; cuz i totally wiped the hard drive ofmy t61 including windowspartitions [02:49] so selling it = more difficult [02:49] afaty, you are not beinv very clear.. you can use 'ls -R ' if thats what you want. [02:49] in winetricks, when you say you want to install a game, is there a way to point it to the installer you already downloaded instead of having it re-download the installer? [02:49] or was it ls -r [02:50] twobitsprite, winetricks homepage/forum may know. or the wine channel.. ive never tried its 'install a game option' yet. [02:50] twobitsprite, or let it start to download.. see where its downloading to. stop it.. copy game file over to that location [02:51] dr_willis: you know where the wine channel is? there's noone in #wine [02:51] !wine [02:51] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:51] I want in ubuntu view like redhat "chkconfig -- list" , the same output results. [02:51] maybe #winehq? [02:52] afaty, you will proberly have to write your own script then if you wan t output exactly like the redhat commands. [02:52] dr_willis: thanks [02:52] afaty, i doubt if many people in here even know what that output looks like. === mike is now known as Guest93974 [02:52] hello everyone, quick question... i have a user that has a running screen that i want multiple administrators to be able to resume at any time... so first they login as the user (sudo -iu username) and then they type screen -r, however, upon typing screen -r the error "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/12' - please check" appears. (sometimes its 12, or 2, or 3) any help on this one? [02:52] is redhat using Upstart yet? i recall some other big disrtos planning on switching to it. [02:52] O, thank you. [02:53] so if i dual boot; is there a way to have it autopick ubuntu on startup? [02:53] this recommends opening up /dev/pts/12 to the world (chmod 777) http://martincarstenbach.wordpress.com/2010/01/16/screen-fails-with-cannot-open-your-terminal-devptsx-please-check/ [02:53] but i have a feeling theres a beter, more secure way [02:53] mrapple, you want several users to connect to the same screen session? at the same time. I thought theres a screen option to do that. [02:54] actually same user connecting from diffent locations to the same session isent it.. [02:54] no [02:54] arooni-mobile, grub will defauilt to ubuntu [02:54] it doesnt have to be at the same time [02:54] (they will run screen -dr, so it will detach other sessions) [02:55] mrapple, thats how screen normally works.. im not sure what would be the issue.. unless the sudo -iu is causing some issues.. try direct logging in as the user. or try 'login username' perhaps as a test [02:56] forgot about the login command, thanks, will try! [02:57] old skool :) [02:57] bbl. work time [02:57] im trying to setup freenx, and it gets all the way to "Setting up session", downloading info etc - then says 'Connection refused' what am i doing wrong? [02:58] hi, I'm trying to compile for 32-bit from my 64-bit architecture but when I run './configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu "CFLAGS=-m32" "CXXFLAGS=-m32" "LDFLAGS=-m32"' as suggested here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3261909/build-32bit-on-64-bit-linux-using-a-configure-script I get configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [02:58] in the configure.log file the config exits with configure: exit 77 [02:59] Do I install libc6-dev-i386 ? [02:59] noo dr_willis [02:59] that prompts for the user's password [02:59] when i want the admin's password [03:00] I'm planning a little trip. I was wondering if Ubuntu has any good calender software built in ? [03:01] hey guys [03:01] nm, I guess the calender ap has more stuff to it lol [03:02] quit [03:02] exit [03:04] i have a problem... i have ubuntu 11.04, the ati/amd proprietary graphics driver.. and my cairo-dock with glx looks like this... http://i.imgur.com/jLTR9.png and theres no graphics effects (compiz is/was installed) and it wont let me choose "Extra" in the visual effects tab on appearances [03:04] i'm trying to setup freenx client, and it gets all the way to downloading the session information, but eventually fails with ' [03:04] ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 7022: Connection refused' -- what am i doing wrong? [03:04] whiter: compizsettings-manager [03:05] using live cd grub help.. need to reinstall. [03:05] I lost conexion on Ubuntu 10.04, Cable Model. It comes and go.

I just picked up an LCD tv with a VGA input. I want to attach a linux box to display downloaded video. How do I run mplayer via ssh and yet have display on the TV? [03:12] okay, mrdbus, that only happens in root.. the regular error is this... thomas@ubuntu-vaio:~$ ccsm [03:12] Segmentation fault [03:12] thomas@ubuntu-vaio:~$ [03:14] whiter: You should never run user apps as root [03:15] it can cause a lot of undesired behavior [03:15] i'm trying to setup freenx client, and it gets all the way to downloading the session information, but eventually fails with ' [03:15] ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 7022: Connection refused' -- what am i doing wrong? [03:15] soreau i realize that.. i forgot i was in root. [03:16] someone here know write Chinese? [03:16] Quick question! I'm running a simple minecraft server and I'd like to be able to create an account (or two) for someone to be able to SSH into the box, run a specific set of scripts (such as a restart script) and that's it. The script would have to kill the current running process of the minecraft server and then execute a ./start.sh, but how could I do this without granting each user admin/root access? [03:16] whiter: Well who knows what the problem is now [03:17] i'm pretty sure running it as root did nothing to it.. as it didn't even open [03:17] and this was the first time i did that.. it wasn't working before either [03:18] Is it possible to install the latest single window gimp on ubuntu 11.04? I mean gimp version 2.7 or something like that... [03:18] Lawlcat: create a login that launchs a script that uses something like fakeroot, or better use the same user number so it can kill -HUP the services [03:19] That way when they log in the script runs and they log out... No access to a shell per say [03:19] alright [03:19] thanks! [03:20] does anyone know why this work, how hacky it is, and if its actually safe? [03:20] sudo sudo -iu username [03:20] script /dev/null [03:20] screen -r [03:20] whiter: Can you pastebin the output of 'python --version && dpkg -l | grep compiz'?

It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [03:20] mrapple: You should never do anything with sudo unless you know why [03:21] Anyone here know what file I can backup to save my panel configurations? [03:21] oh please soreau [03:21] soreau, http://pastebin.com/ERciyv7h [03:21] root all the time! [03:22] is there anything wrong with being root all the time? [03:22] seems like people don't think you should do that [03:22] Oh another thing! when I do ps au, the command that starts the server is there under /bin/sh ./start, is there a way I can have a script find the PID of that instance no matter when it's ran, since the PID will change each time it's run? [03:22] #yii [03:22] whiter: Well there's your problem. You have compiz 0.8. and 0.9 packages mixed [03:23] ah i see.. and i just checked apt.. i have a bunch of stuff not yet upgraded [03:23] thanks soreau! [03:23] whiter: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [03:23] oh cool [03:23] soreau: yeah well, oops, heh [03:23] yea, upgrade should fix it [03:23] 11.4.. but it isn't completely upgraded [03:23] termsilv, the most classic case for not being root all the time is that if you were infected by malicious software it wouldn't be able to do as much damage if you were just logged in as a normal user [03:23] how do I change my theme in oneiric?

[03:26] I tried setting WINDOW_MANAGER in .gnomerc but according to .xsession-errors something still insists on loading compiz [03:26] Lewoco: Which version of ubuntu? [03:27] soreau: natty I think [03:27] Lewoco: Look in gconf key /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/window_manager and change it to what you want there [03:27] Is it possible to install the latest single window gimp on ubuntu 11.04? I mean gimp version 2.7 or something like that... [03:28] Lewoco: In addition, you might have to put xfwm4 --replace in gnome-session-properties [03:28] Hi all! I just picked up an LCD tv with a VGA input. I want to attach a linux box to display downloaded video. How do I run mplayer via ssh and yet have display on the TV? [03:29] dsnyders: Launch mplayer and tell it what display to use and video [03:29] When I play something through the mic input on my system, if goes straight through to the computer's speakers, but Audacity, etc. don't pick anything up.

[03:33] Starminn: Read: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5910/sound-problem-on-dc-7800 [03:33] kev009, what is a backport kernel :) [03:33] kev009: Yes, you will need a specific PPA for that. I forgot the name though. [03:33] (i am learning) [03:33] termsilv: sorry, backport is debian terminology I guess [03:34] kev009: Debian high-five! (on Debian Testing) [03:34] kev009: What is not working correctly? [03:34] does anyone here use p2p for anything other than torrents? [03:34] improveupon: Such as?

[03:36] james_1313: You would need to mount the partition rw (read/write) and have permissions to access the file system (if ext*) [03:36] iceroot: I am booted into a live USB and I need to delete items from a mounted partition that says I dont have permission to edit it. anyone help me please? [03:36] soreau: likely, no problem on RHEL6 (they do crazy things to their .32, it's that kernel only in name and long term compat) [03:37] james_1313: What command is giving you what error? (pastebin it) [03:37] sorry, let me change that to any protocol mldonkey uses other than bittorrent [03:37] soreau: i dont know how to do it in command line, im using the gui filesystem.... [03:38] james_1313: What operation are you trying to perform? [03:39] soreau: i have a partition that is full and I cant boot into it. when I try to login it goes to the recovery boot screen and then loops me back when I try to log in. the problem, i think, is that the partition is way to full of stuff (a mistake on my part, duplicating files) [03:40] soreau: so i am booted into a live usb and trying to remove files so i can get in [03:40] Starminn try and change the setting using HDA Analyzer [03:41] james_1313: Use 'mount' to see where your partition is mounted, then use 'sudo rm /path/to/mount/point/file/you/want/to/delete' [03:41] I'm having trouble configuring my second monitor. I am running Ubuntu 11.04, with unity enabled, and nvidia's 275 driver. The second monitor is a lower resolution than my main monitor. It is on the left side.

[03:58] Any one here using 'UNITY'? [03:58] not any more [03:59] Starminn: There not working at the moment right? So i would try those steps just in case you have nothing to lose [03:59] What are you using? [03:59] Mod-R-Focker: lol [03:59] Gnome default [03:59] i went back to the classic .. Unity has bugs i dont want to deal with [04:00] soreau: http://imgur.com/3OL7v im missing about 110 gigs of stuff, i cant figure out whats wrong [04:00] i'm running live cd with ubuntu 11.04.. it detects everything, i'm even online while on the live cd but i want to have my wireless mouse.. it doesnt detect it.. any advice? [04:00] Wildinc: Well, all the sound works fine -- the only thing that doesn't work is recording from mic input. [04:00] Which, really, sound isn't even outputted during that --only inputted. ;) [04:00] hello [04:00] james_1313: I get '502 - Bad gateway' with that link [04:01] how are you?

[04:01] i think i got a problem with my connection to internet [04:01] Starminn: I have had the same issue but i was using an Intel sound card and the fix was to play with settings in the HDA Anyaliser. As for creative sound cards i have no clue....

[04:02] anybody??? [04:03] james_1313: Also, there is a 'refresh' button on the disk analyzer window. Did you click that?

[04:07] toshiba wireless mouse [04:07] with nano receiver [04:07] soreau: kk, awesome. you are a saint [04:10] ok, just hooked up another mouse (didnt think about it before.. didnt have one close =D ) next issue ... im using the live cd to backup data to an ntfs formatted external hdd... any problems or caveats i should know about ? if the from and two drive are both ntfs will ubuntu read them just fine? [04:10] it will [04:10] quit [04:10] it won't honor permissions on any NTFS partition however [04:11] T-Gunn = james_1313? [04:13] T-Gunn: btw, linux should see the mouse with lsusb then [04:15] okay, i have ubuntu 11.04 installed, i'm using gnome, and i don't see where i can enable desktop effects [04:15] the tab thats usually in appearances is gone [04:17] soreau: i found the suspicious file but its not showing anything weird [04:18] james_1313: What is it?

[04:22] ok thank you, ill just back up the data on to the external hard drive and go from there [04:23] anyone using 'Unity'? What can or cannot we expect in the next release? Any idea's.

My problem is i can boot off all my computers around the house but it does not boot in my gaming rig.Is that normal? [04:25] soreau: it just says there are 34 gigs in it [04:25] james_1313: In what? [04:25] I'm running 11.04 now but it lacks so much. [04:26] richard_: I'm not upgrading until 11.10 anyway if I can help it, just for personal tastes. The Oneiric Ocelot Alpha 1 has been out for 17 days, though, and you can download it here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [04:27] Just sticking with 10.10, for me [04:29] Is the Alpa version useable to some degree? I want to know if it has made any progress with the user interface. [04:30] hey [04:30] The user interface of 11.04 is pretty bad and really lacks functionality. [04:30] I'm having problems accessing files in ISOs mounted by Archive Mounter (GVFS) [04:31] richard_: HAven't tried it myself, but it's going to use Unity. [04:31] I click an ISO [04:31] it mounts [04:31] but sometimes it's empty [04:31] richard_: Why not try GNOME3 on 11.04 as opposed ot Unity if Unity is what you are having problems with [04:32] (I think that might be related to ISOs with HFS filesystems though) [04:32] but most times while I can see the files [04:32] whiter> becareful setting your desk top effects .. it messed up Unity for me and i had to reinstall [04:32] I can't open them with some programs [04:32] for example === james is now known as Guest39858 [04:32] whiter> like setting Cube .. [04:32] Wine fails with Bus Error [04:33] wine + bus = accident :/ [04:33] except if I mount with sudo mount -o loop [04:33] to somewhere else [04:33] many programs don't even open the files [04:33] particularly non-Gnome programs [04:33] !sshd [04:33] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH.

However I didn't put anything like -v so I could get an idea of how it was progressing along. It's been about 3 hours now and it seems to be chugging along fine, but is there any way I could get an idea of it's progress. === Guest39858 is now known as Potluck [04:34] Gnome 3 and ATI Radeo HD video cards don't mix.

[04:38] anybody here use Xubuntu? [04:38] I fail to see the usefulness of GVFS. only a few programs can use it [04:39] and I can't understand at all why it is the default option and why to mount a disk image normally you have to use a Terminal [04:40] usr13: i don't have that option :/ [04:40] Doesn't GVFS just mount to the ".gvfs" directory in your home folder? [04:41] does anyone know if its possible to bridge two wireless connections in ubuntu 11? [04:41] hi all [04:41] just a silly question anybody here use Xubuntu?

[05:51] use vim and get comfortable with it [05:51] you will be glad you did later on. [05:51] Agreed, it's a journey, but a great one at that. :) [05:51] astraljava: yes ... I was thinking the same ... it could be a problem with the connection to the "Facebook" or "MSN"'s protocol ... but there is something weird, I close VirtualBox and it worked ... I'm gonna test again ... [05:51] thats just my .02... VIM is super confusing at first.. but once you learn to harness its power.. you will learn to love it. [05:52] midwinter_: You can learn vim by installing "vim" then typing "vimtutor" in a terminal. [05:52] woot! [05:52] nano worked [05:52] let me reboot and see if that did the trick [05:54] ohh JC ... I started Virtualbox with WinXP and empathy can't connect to Facebook ... what could it be ?

[06:35] i personally think its related to touchpad, never happens when im not using it. and usually happens when im using the touchpad [06:37] velofille, when it freezes, then you click on the touchpad button, are you able to resume normal operations [06:37] Hi all, I delete google chrome ppa and now cannot upgrade it.

Chromium serves as a base for Google Chrome, which is Chromium rebranded (name and logo) with very few additions such as usage tracking and an auto-updater system. [06:40] elssha: netbook edition uses unity. but you can still switch to classic ubuntu [06:40] anyone? [06:40] boomboorum: sudo add-apt-repository ppa://chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install chromium-browser [06:41] elssha: the 10.04 unity is different from current unity. whole words e.g. 'System' are displayed on the left of the desktop [06:41] ActionParsnip: what is thay -y for? [06:41] entel: when i try attatching to pts/1, it thinks i mean 'pts', i don't understand how to do it [06:42] so it's not 'real' unity, right? I really don't like it in the new version [06:42] I need to know how big a difference on power the netbook ed makes [06:42] elssha: didn't know there was a netbook Lucid. Netbook editions usually optomize for smaller screens and can have funky UIs. Under the hood is the same [06:42] boomboorum: It automatically answers "Yes" to everything. [06:42] hii [06:43] also want to know what program repos aren't available [06:43] Does anyone know what package pwd.h is part of?

It gave an error at the end http://pastebin.com/bnk0LW5Y [06:46] I mean the grub prompt isnt shown [06:46] amit. i am not too sure, personally i only know enough to get myself into trouble :) i dont know all the settings you need for fsck [06:46] I had only Ubuntu [06:46] Amit: there is. What do you think loads your OS? [06:46] ahh right at the start you should be able to press escape just after your bios has done the memory test [06:47] Amit: hold shift at boot and choose memtest there [06:47] this should bring up grub menu for you\ [06:47] hey guys is there a way to remove the top panel from the second monitor on 11.04?

[06:51] mine is band new... the processor is an AMD c-50 with 2gig ram [06:51] Karrot2: what activities do you do remotely. Files can be securely accessed via sftp and may apps have webui [06:52] so what I need is the OS that will give me better bat life [06:52] is it possible to act as my own nameserver for my domain name? i mean, is it ok to run bind9 and point my domain name server entries to my own server through my registrar? [06:52] ActionParsnip: I want to type through the netbook keyboard and have it interpreted as what I'm typing at the server [06:53] josh__: what make and model system (if it has one). You should use that instead of "my tower", its more exact [06:53] last try. im running ubuntu 11.04 and audio is coming out of both my tower and my monitor. how do i turn off the audio coming out of the tower? [06:54] lenovo thinkcentre m57 [06:54] elssha: if you use netbook, you can try default install. if too slow use unity 2d or ubuntu classic. actually i dont think you'll miss too much if you just use vanilla 10.04 rather than the netbook edition. They just look different and just depends on preference [06:54] Karrot2: you can use ssh for that and console in securely [06:54] so no diff as far as battery life? [06:54] also unity has some window resizing thing that sometimes gets rid of the top bars/panels to give you more screen space [06:55] i assumed the netbook ed would be suited to extend it [06:55] * elssha dislikes unity anyway [06:55] ActionParsnip: with a gui though? [06:55] is it possible to act as my own nameserver for my domain name? i mean, is it ok to run bind9 and point my domain name server entries to my own server through my registrar?

[06:56] what's LXDE? [06:56] only root can change owner and gid of a file ??? [06:56] no [06:56] also owner ? [06:56] b44: depends on permissions [06:56] b44: and group [06:56] elssha: http://www.lxde.org/ [06:56] elssha: an alternative to gnome, uses less cpu power [06:57] clr: video driver?

[06:57] does it still support all the programs ubuntu does? [06:58] jkbrntot: I forget how to print that out [06:58] elssha: you'll still be using ubuntu... desktop is different [06:58] nexace_: these are my permissions: -rwxrwx--- 1 me me 233 20.

[07:00] nexace_: permission denied, too [07:00] elssha: but since there are differences so cant expect everything to work as is, but repos would be there [07:00] b44: might just have to sudo [07:00] Karrot2: vlc has a great http interface. Xbmc also has one with phone apps which you can use to control it. I use the vlc option personally and tell the pc what to play from my android phone [07:00] elssha: lxde is about being light... you probably could run frills.. but if you want to do that just use gnome [07:01] is it possible to act as my own nameserver for my domain name? i mean, is it ok to run bind9 and point my domain name server entries to my own server through my registrar?

[07:03] b44, nexace_: NO, dont' do that. [07:03] elssha: yeah you can choose your desktop manager from login screen [07:03] Flannel: why not? [07:03] :D [07:03] nexace_, b44: Because it'll remove him from all other secondary groups (you forgot -a) [07:03] elssha: how much memory you have? [07:03] ...... [07:04] b44, nexace_: "useradd me www-data" is much safer and easier too, for that matter. [07:04] 2gig ram; 320gig HD [07:04] (that adds user "me" to group "www-data" [07:04] Flannel: usermod has always been the traditional groupadd mod [07:05] hi everyone [07:05] elssha: 64 bit programs usually use more memory and hard drive space. You can install either 32 bit or 64 bit if your processor supports it. Since you have 2 gig ram, 32 bit should be good. 64bit for 4gb mem and up [07:05] pls how can i connect my zte usb modem to ubuntu? any idea pls [07:05] A file-owner can only set chgroup of the owned file to groups which the owner is a member of ?? [07:05] nexace_, b44: err sorry, adduser, not useradd. [07:06] nexace_: You can use usermod, but you have to make sure you use it correctly. Use of usermod is discouraged in favor of adduser. (see the manpage for adduser for evidence of this, first paragraph of description) [07:06] this thing came with 64bit win 7; thus my Q [07:06] probably also why it still lags a bit when I tired to run 1080 youtube on it in performance mode -_-; [07:07] elssha: maybe it's memory can be upgraded to 4GB [07:07] *its [07:07] nope [07:07] Flannel: i'll check it out, but that said, usermod has never failed me [07:07] Flannel: you are correct on the -a however for append [07:07] nexace_: Sure, except you were just going to remove b44's ability to sudo. ;) [07:07] nexace_: adduser is much safer, and you don't have to remember a bunch of switches [07:08] Flannel: roger [07:08] pls how can i connect my zte usb modem to ubuntu? any idea pls [07:08] elssha: k... only way to know for sure is to try it out. but use 32 bits first [07:08] hav google n found various response but none worked [07:09] hello, ubuntu. i'm pretty new to the linux command line - is there anyone out there who can tell me how to pipe the contents of a file found with locate into less, instead of piping the path to that file into less?

[07:19] MindSpider is there a picture of a padlock on that window? you may have to click that and enter password [07:19] Mandrew: I'll keep on Googlin' .. most of the time I'll figure it out .. just been messing with this one since 11.04 popped .. [07:19] elssha: what do you mean? [07:19] hi [07:19] wow, linux has gui things for undelete now ? neato [07:19] how do i use the terminal as root? (not sure what that means) but i need to do something that requires root access. [07:20] go into folder where it made the invisible files; hit ctrl key and h [07:20] !sudo | pinkfox [07:20] pinkfox: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [07:20] Minibnz: Got it working. For some reason it didn't ask me for a password as usual and I assumed I'd already entered it. [07:20] NineTeen67Comet hope you find some easy fix for it :) [07:20] idk if it will work for that but it's how you can see hidden files in ubuntu [07:20] MindSpider sweet.. [07:20] thank you [07:20] pinkfox: you can use sudo (just like you'd do with your normal terminal) .. sudo aptitude install gimp .. for instance .. If you need true su .. you might want to know what you are doing a little more .. you can really do some damage with su .. [07:20] jamey12: Files you can't see? [07:21] minibnz: Now what do I do? [07:21] jamey12, you need to find the files, they are probably in a hidden directory [07:21] jordan_u: i tried ctrl+h but cant find them [07:21] ls -a will show hidden directories or files, but du will show the size of the directorues [07:21] MindSpider do you see the restricted repo's there unchecked? [07:21] elssha: ubuntu / linux is good at that. it uses only necessary CPU... keeps things minimal... you'll probably dual boot windows and ubuntu? so you'll have an alternative if one OS goes down [07:22] yes [07:22] using 10.04 - metacity. The window manager seems to be ignoring all global shortcuts while in fullscreen mode. It didn't used to do this. The ability to minimize/alt+tab a fullscreen app is kinda useful, how can i fix things? [07:22] but i still don't want to install lubuntu then find out it doesn't have what i need, format the partition and install ubuntu [07:22] how can i add a user using a non-interactive command? [07:23] with a password, i mean [07:23] jamey12, you will probably need to be root to delete those also [07:23] you guye are the best [07:23] thank you SO MUCH [07:23] i have to have this fixed and sorted and then I gotta transfer all the files etc before friday [07:23] minibnz: I rechecked everything that was unchecked. None of them say "Restricted" in the name [07:23] jamey12, did you find them? [07:23] velofille: finally yes, thank you so much [07:24] velofille: sounds delicious. im gonna go eat now.. made me hungry... [07:24] jkbrntot, it was actually - nachos complete with bacon, sour cream, cheese, etc [07:24] jamey12, where did it put them ? [07:24] i'll be happy with desktop cube (eyecandy wise), or at least a way that pressing ctrl+alt+-> cycles the desktops (vs stopping at last desktop and making me backtrack) [07:25] velofille: yeah trying another kernel or distro or version would narrow it down [07:25] im my home folder, the ls -a worked and i rm -r 'ed them [07:25] sweetbix [07:25] jkbrntot, its the whole ass of backing it all up and reinstalling - im so lazy :) [07:26] mind you, not going to use encrypted folders next time, that will be a bonus to loose [07:26] i just ran an update and grub now segfalts!!!!! [07:26] how do i install a .tar.bz2 package? [07:26] velofille: yeah... install on another partition (still need to backup)? try liveCD? liveUSB? [07:26] why i chose to opt for 'yes' i dont know. but i couldnt use half my files because the filename was too lo [07:26] long [07:26] i have 2 hdds in my laptop, both 620gb or so [07:27] maybe 640gb? bucketloads anyway [07:27] i can squish it into one hdd though just, so ill rsync it all to sdb [07:28] !details | lawltoad [07:28] lawltoad: 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 ..." [07:28] velofille: choose yes? you mean the upgrade? also doing a clean install (of 11.04) fixes some of the bugs. lucky you have lots of hdd space on hand [07:29] Hello, can someone help me with JACK control? [07:30] Jordan_U, ubottu , sorry I'm running 10.10 and i recently ran update manager after maybe a month... one of the updates is for grub2... during it it said that grub2 failed and in the details tab it segfaulted .... runnin ggrub-install /dev/sda (my only hd) segfaults. under dmesg i get this line: grub-probe[22571]: segfault at 0 ip 0022c498 sp bfc8471c error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so. googleing has not turned up anything for me [07:30] jkbrntot, on the 2nd install of kubuntu i opted 'yes' for encrypted home dirs, but ended up not being able to use some of my files due to long filenames [07:30] jkbrntot, 256chars is the limit, but if you have 36 chars and encrypt it, it makes it a whole lot longer, so reduces file name char limit [07:31] i had ebooks i was unable to copy onto the encrypted homedir :/ [07:31] lawltoad: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo grub-install --debug /dev/sda" and the full output of "dmesg"? [07:31] any linux tool that can mount a dmg file [07:31] elssha: on regular 10.04 if you enable effects, you can use the SUPER (windows) key and tab to flip through your open programs [07:32] velofille: ah complexities... good to know, tnx for sharing [07:32] dijonyummy123, mount will mount it - use -o loop [07:32] How is it that you erase the fire? [07:32] dijonyummy123, actually i may be wrong on that, but it should work [07:33] my big thing is to flip desktops, not programs, and one of the things that killed 11.04 for me was that with the wall, once you went to the far left you had to jump back vs just going left once more to be on the far right [07:33] elssha: ah you mean workspaces... [07:33] dijonyummy123, :~$ mount -t hfs -o loop myImage.dmg /macdisk [07:34] Among the various problems of my Ubuntu, I am having memory/running issues with Celestia. Its a decent hard drive with 3 gig ram. And Ubuntu. It doesn't run right by itself. How do I check comp speed and such? [07:34] yup [07:34] velofille: dijonyummy123: It would be -t hfsplus, and -t is rarely usefull as if it's going to work at all the filesystem will most likely be able to be detected automatically. [07:35] reign system monitor [07:35] Jordan_U, im old school, i still use ps -aux :P [07:35] elssha: looking at it, don't understand it yet [07:35] it has tabs up top [07:35] speaking of old school, does anyone still remember isapnp ? [07:35] elssha: 100% memory usage. Uhm, very confused [07:36] what do you want to knwo? [07:36] know* [07:36] elssha: how does a Ubuntu program require that much? it doesn't look that fancy. [07:37] thanks! [07:37] Jordan_U, sorry i havn't pastedbined you, but the --dubug revealed that /usr/sbin/grub-probe -v --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=drive --device /dev/sda segfaults the device.map file does not exisit [07:37] one tab will tell you your system stats (how much ram, processor speed, etc), another will show you current usage, another will list running programs etc [07:37] what exactly are you running? [07:37] ubuntu version, programs, etc [07:38] and what's your processor [07:38] elssha: its showing maxed CPU to 98%. Its weird. Celestia, a Ubuntu free solar system program [07:38] elssha: Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) [07:38] but what IS your cpu [07:38] saying my memory, presumably ram, is 2.8 Gigs amd 550.9 gig hd space [07:39] elssha: specify, I'm tired and that's not computing [07:39] hi! i need some help :) when i play youtube videos, then my downloaded audio doesnt sound. and when i play my downloaded songs, then youtube doesnt have sound. halp! [07:39] theos: one program at a time, it helps [07:39] and what are you doing on it? at this moment that is [07:39] Celestia [07:39] and system monitor [07:39] I'm running two computers [07:39] watching something on youtube, did you install compiz, etc [07:40] Reign_, :) yeah. but it used to play both before [07:40] than ignore me [07:40] Jordan_U, grub-mkdevicemap is the culprit! [07:40] Can anyone here help me with JACK Contorl? [07:40] control* [07:40] theos; what distro [07:41] lawltoad: Are you not able to use pastebin for some reason? [07:41] elssha, lucid [07:41] reign; go back to 10.04... IMHO it's a far more efficient UI than 11.04... and unity annoys me >_> [07:41] Ubuntu comp is running Celestia (a free Ubuntu download available through Ubuntu) and System Monitor [07:42] also audacity doesnt play sound :/ [07:43] can i put the blame of opencl driver? :D [07:43] if I can't know how to fix it, can someone tell me how to delete programs. Its frustrating to have a program I can't use.l [07:44] R U running pulseaudio theos? [07:44] hamnegga, yes. pulse and alsa arch [07:44] that would B my guess on the issue, because pulse sucks ass. [07:44] alsa sucks double ass [07:44] see if your pulseaudio is running as a startup service [07:45] !language | theos [07:45] theos: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [07:45] alright ubottu! [07:45] you can check under system > preferences > startup applications, or you can just write "sudo update-rc.d pulseaudio defaults" [07:46] hamnegga: Please watch your language as well. [07:46] update-rc.d: warning: pulseaudio stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1). System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/pulseaudio already exist. [07:46] figured it out. thanks for the input, Elssha. Wish I could have gotten the software to work. [07:47] Jordan_U, sorry, the --debug option wasn't in the man page... i solved it, though running grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy segfaults too, it did produce the file, so grub-install worked now [07:47] Jordan_U, thanks for your help.... its an odd problem [07:47] anyone know how to get a decent video player plugin to work in firefox and gnome amd64? [07:47] mplayer [07:48] vlc can't be run as root, so I'm all set with it. I have no mplayerplug-in package either [07:48] why would you need to run videos as root ? [07:49] lawltoad: You're welcome. Not having a device.map should not cause a segfault. Try upgrading to grub 1.99 (from Ubuntu 11.04) and if you can reproduce the problem (by getting a segfault from grub-mkdevicemap or from grub-install after deleting /boot/grub/device.map) please file a bug report. [07:49] in order to get mplayerplug-in to work, I need to recompile mplayer from scratch and it's almost impossible with a backdated Lucid - hence why I hate running old distros when Backtrack decides to build off a *hitty base. [07:49] ouch [07:49] can't get any plugin to work on firefox with backtrack 5 [07:49] upgrade not an option? [07:50] !backtrack | hamnegga [07:50] hamnegga: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [07:50] no, not really. I tried building my own pentesting distro with squeeze / linux mint debian and didn't get as far as I wanted [07:50] using 10.04 - metacity. The window manager seems to be ignoring all global shortcuts while in fullscreen mode. It didn't used to do this. The ability to minimize/alt+tab a fullscreen app is kinda useful, how can i fix things? [07:50] hmm pulseaudio seems to be working fine :/ [07:50] hamnegga: And replacing a single letter in a swear word doesn't make it apropriate for this channel. Please don't do it again. [07:50] the trade-off between apps. is just about even, so I'm just trying to stick with backtrack 5 [07:51] okay [07:51] I'm using Lucid, so don't worry about any distro derivative stuff [07:51] same difference [07:52] LTS baby, and BT channel isn't active enough for quick help [07:52] hamnegga: This channel does not support Backtrack. Period. [07:53] I need some stupid linux help [07:53] whatever [07:53] hi [07:53] 'allo [07:53] I have two users in the same group [07:53] Hello, pls how do I add additional port to my localhost? [07:53] hi! i need some help :) when i play youtube videos, then my downloaded audio doesnt sound. and when i play my downloaded songs, then youtube doesnt have sound. halp!

Just don't try to ask for support for problems you're having with Backtrack. [07:54] chouchou, you can't add more ports, an applicataion opens a port. You can add an extra IP if its externally connected [07:54] I'm not I'm running my Lucid partition right now [07:54] chouchou, (ie if it was a server) [07:55] I have User A and user B sharing a group (www-data), I set the permissions on a file in User A's /home/ to rwxrwx--x, and User B does not have permission to run it for some reason [07:55] velofille, thanks, but it's like i have localhost here, and normally it's called via port 80, [07:55] I'm sure this is a misunderstanding on my part [07:55] chouchou, what are you doing ? [07:55] apache ? [07:55] midoski did you make it executable "chmod +x"? [07:56] but the same port is shared with shared with other application i.e my adls rounter web interface, I want to add additional distinct port which i can use to configure my dyndns account [07:56] hamnegga: yes, but I can't even touch it [07:56] ie, su [userB] [07:56] $ touch [file] [07:56] permission denied [07:56] chouchou, sorry you cant do that, one application per port [07:56] ok [07:56] try to cp it [07:56] it's treating User B like it's an other instead of a group [07:56] chouchou, apache can do proxying through to other applucations though (see mod_proxu_ [07:57] chouchou, usually thats used for things like tomcat or similar [07:57] ok, [07:57] hamnegga: "couldn't open file for reading" ugh [07:57] midoski, chmod +r ? [07:57] midoski: Try as root [07:57] what's the address? Is it public? [07:57] midoski: or sudo [07:58] coolpyrofreak: exactly what im trying not to do [07:58] Hello, I Tryed a switch back from debian testing to natty. Oups, it wiped my partition after a failed attempt at installing buntu over the existing debian. It failed to delete system files and when I tryed option reinstalling ubuntu over ubuntu (partial install) it wiped the partition where resided home. Oups! Nonetheless I could not work with Unity as it hides too many thiings and is incompatible with compiz enhanced zoom. Still on the classic desktop. I'd [07:58] like to have a say as a visually impaired strongly relying on compiz ezoom and all the + to control zoom. Unity steal the modifier and I feel it backward. How can I have a say on the next Ubuntu release about that issue? [07:58] velofille, so what do I do ? [07:58] R u trying to access the file via user B from another workstation, or what? [07:58] chouchou, what is the other application using poirt 80? [07:58] midoski: Why? You're getting permission errors, which can be avoided with sudo. Alternatively, you can su and run chown [07:58] uyudum [07:58] coolpyrofreak: because im trying to get really specific permissions set up [07:59] kac saat uyumuşum [07:59] my adsl router web interface [07:59] and falling on my face [07:59] coolpyrofreak: my issue is specific to group permissions [07:59] not running the file [07:59] if that makes sense [07:59] chouchou, oh dear, then its not going to work. reconfigure your adsl router to run its web interface on another port ? thats usually do-able [07:59] 2 saat uyku [07:59] vay be [07:59] o kadar az uyudum mu [07:59] ok [07:59] hi all. who can help mefor this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10959496#post10959496 [07:59] yeah, I have a script that simply does "chown -Rv www-data:www-data " and then restarts the apache server [07:59] what can i use to compress a bunch of image files? im looking for highest compression [08:00] I was having problems with my hosted files, until I also had to make them executable also [08:00] !tr | Hanzo [08:00] Hanzo: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde.

[08:01] no because it belongs to a different user, and I'm trying to figure out why my group permissions aren't doing the job [08:01] i don't WANT www-data to chown it, I want user A to keep owningi t and allow user B to access it thanks to grouping + permissions [08:02] tamam [08:02] but for some reason it's being treated as other and not group [08:02] even though id userA and id userB show them as sharing that group [08:02] well it depends on whether your trying to access the file directly or through a web app [08:02] how do I restart apache server again in ubuntu? [08:02] I'm not that up on web apps n' stuff, I just know you need those permissions for a webrowser to get them [08:03] hamnegga: really not the problem here :( [08:03] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [08:03] chouchou: sudo service apache2 restart [08:03] thanks [08:03] either works [08:03] hamnegga, better to use the latter since its going to be the new cool way :D [08:04] yeah, that's all we need, to be more like microsoft and hide what we are really doing.

[08:15] ssargennto: Cite? [08:15] (err, the fullscreen app) [08:16] Airris: Alt+Tab normally works all right on a full-screen application in GNOME. So your GNOME is misconfured and needs repair. May be you should use gconf-editor for that in the metacity subnode. [08:16] try using ms-sy [08:16] ms-sys [08:16] misconfigured [08:16] like this tigerswan [08:16] Airris: Could be that you're misremembering or there was some fluke [08:16] I am following the instructions here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/covergloobus-1-6-wow-lives-up-to-its-name/ but the PPA seems to be bad, so I am trying to make it from the tar file; however I receive this error: "configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub" *** Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit.

[08:18] Should I install gentoo?

[08:55] so can basically just copy the "mail" folder over to the other server, as long as the same email addresses are added there too?

Anyone know how I can permanently use /root/ as my home directory even after upgrades? [08:58] alternatively you can look through them and find the file with the theme set [08:59] remove that [08:59] Anybody here used netatalk to communicate between Mac & Linux?

[09:01] hamnegga: ~/.gnome or ~/.gnome2 -- There should be gnome-panel directory. [09:02] abi senin kafa 1001 olduysa biz napalim [09:02] nope, but i expect it will be one of the .gtk* .gconf* or .gnome* dirs [09:02] they seem to have split it up now, unlike kde which uses just the one dir [09:02] hey, I realize that karmic is probably not supported any longer, but maybe someone could give me a quick answer for something... I'm running an old live CD of karmic just to obtain some files off of a harddrive with a corrupt OS.

[10:05] no and i did just add a stick too [10:06] i have on 1 gig and one 2 gig would that mismatch be a bad thing? [10:06] Mod-R-Focker: Do a RAM test. Bad RAM is the Number1 cause of complete system lockups. [10:06] k [10:07] Mod-R-Focker: that and power bad power supplies [10:07] Mod-R-Focker: If it is mismatched, just take out what does not match. [10:07] Mod-R-Focker: Yes, as histo says, power supplies are prolly Number2 cause. [10:08] yeah i was wondering if running a 1gig with a 2 gig was a big deal or not [10:08] Mod-R-Focker: just run a memtest from the cd and you will find out [10:08] im using irssi now, this is so cool tnx DJones [10:08] Mandrew: Your welcome [10:08] Sue , millet daha indirmedi oyunu [10:08] Mod-R-Focker: No, it is not bad. 1 gig and 2 gig sitcks are ok.

[10:18] !problem|odix [10:18] odix: 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. :-) [10:19] p1oooop: don't pipe it to anything and it will work. [10:19] usr13: as in no | ing? [10:19] p1oooop: What file are you trying to tail -f ? [10:20] usr13: my apache logs. [10:20] erm, any help for file sharing per ssh ? [10:20] usr13: that or the IRC channel logs that I'm monitoring. [10:20] i have two hdds, each had an install of ubuntu server on it, sata, now i have an install i want on my new SSD, the old one has an install to, when i plug them both in, it doesnt boot, im assuming conflicting boot things [10:20] p1oooop: That's strange. [10:20] Meeow: you can try fuse... [10:20] how that ? [10:20] i want to reformat my old hd, but i cant seem to boot into linux with both of them connected [10:21] Meeow: or an even crazier method using dd... man dd for that... [10:21] usr13: I've tried it on multiple computers... same problem. [10:21] oh and how can i do that ? [10:21] can i just boot with my first hd, then plug in the old hd with the existing install on it, and format and mount it ? is sata pnp ? [10:21] usr13: tail -f | col _bx [10:21] Meeow: it's in the man page, I believe... [10:22] p1oooop: using sudo? [10:22] Meeow: you can also look up the man page on google... [10:22] usr13: using the sudo account. [10:22] *root [10:22] brb sorry [10:22] usr13: maybe tail and col just don't like me. [10:22] XD [10:23] p1oooop: Well, actually user should be able to do it too I think but... [10:23] im just going to get gparted [10:23] usr13: naw, I kinda need to pipe it to my printer... and only sudo can do that :P [10:23] p1oooop: Yea, just try tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log [10:23] ubuntu can handle multiple ssds right? or one hd one ssd on only two available sata ports ? [10:23] usr13: but I need to format it for my printer... [10:23] see if that works [10:24] usr13: I'm also doing IRC logs. [10:24] usr13: once I used google translate and did a little russian... my printer froze. [10:24] p1oooop, i folowed this tutorial http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/share-files-between-two-ubuntu-computers-via-ssh and it keeps asking the password. I dont really get why ? [10:24] usr13: so, I have to use col with tail.. :P [10:24] Meeow: your SSH server? [10:25] yep "share files" [10:25] My ubuntu server name can't seem to resolv it's own hostname. [10:25] wait, you said "dd" is faster to transfer data between 2pc's ? [10:25] if you can do tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log and see standard output, then troubleshoot the | col_bx part [10:25] odix: it will handle whatever your hardware can accommodate [10:25] I put an entry in /etc/hosts but when I dig/nslookup it cant find it at all. [10:26] VxQe: check the entry [10:26] ? [10:26] VxQe: what line did you add? [10:26] usr13: the tailing part works fine. the problem is when I col it. [10:26] VxQe: can you ping it? [10:26] just the ip and the hostname. [10:26] p1oooop: that is what I thought. [10:26] usr13: :P [10:27] Hmm [10:27] usr13: I've tried it multiple times with col. no luck. [10:27] p1oooop: Well, I dono... sorry. [10:27] usr13: alright, thanks for your help :) [10:27] Yeah I can ping it [10:27] p1oooop, do you know any other way to share a load of files between 2pc's ? [10:27] Meeow: you can try samba... [10:28] Meeow: it's not too hard, there's a GUI for it... [10:28] My actualy problem is that my router doesn't like the static IP so it isn't resolvable over the network. [10:28] Meeow: and it works with windows (and mac, I think) machines too.. [10:28] p1oooop, that looks nice .. ill try that. thankies. [10:28] Meeow: basically you right click and click on the "share" button. [10:29] VxQe: how can a router dislike an IP? configure your network correctly and it will work [10:29] lol [10:29] p1oooop, i made everything like in the tutorial but keeps asking me the passw. thats the problem. [10:29] The machine is in the arp tables but the routers DNS wont resolve it. [10:29] VxQe: Coulld it be you have an IP conflict? [10:29] Hey everyone for some reason flash keeps crashing every single time I watch a movie in chrome. Does anyone know what I could do to fix it? I have tried downloading the version from Adobe's website and nothing seems to work. [10:29] No. [10:29] I can access the box. [10:29] The dns on the router is just being silly. [10:30] VxQe: pastebinit /etc/hosts [10:30] It's nothing to do with the hosts file. [10:30] real quick, i want to be able to su into root, how do i do that? "i dont want it disabled" [10:30] Meeow: is it not working? [10:30] 0.o [10:30] Meeow: as in your password [10:30] VxQe: Is the IP you are uising inside the DHCP pool? [10:30] No. [10:30] su is givign me authentication failure [10:30] p1oooop, ouch. sorry its surely because of our new livebox.I gotta reconf this to allow port 22 i guess [10:31] usr13: yep it was the ram .. that sux now im back to 2 gig [10:31] And the router doesn't seem to do dhcp reservations. [10:31] Meeow: nowonder I like doing it through terminal better... XD [10:31] Mod-R-Focker: 2gig is enough. [10:31] odix: Is sudo -i not suitable? [10:31] odix: s needs root password which isn't set in *buntu. use sudo -i [10:31] Meeow: less ambiguation, IMHO. [10:31] su* [10:31] selam [10:31] VxQe: That should be configurable option. [10:31] usr13, I have been through every page on the routers config and I can't find it. [10:32] hehe w3m was so cool i didnt understand a thing :D [10:32] i mess around running FTP and apache sever for practice so .. i was tryin for a little more ram [10:32] VxQe: Oh, yea, sorry, I missunderstood. What router is it? [10:32] Some linksys. [10:33] VxQe: Look up the model number, see if it is in the DD-wrt database. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database [10:33] babay [10:33] Not installing dd-wrt. ~_~ [10:33] baby ? [10:33] evet [10:33] yes [10:34] VxQe: I use IPcop router. (All you have to do is turn off the DHCP server and use IPCop or smoothwall or... ) [10:34] ok [10:34] VxQe: Or just turn off the DHCP server and use DHCPD on one of your linux boxes (one that stays on). [10:34] I might try configuring bind on the server. [10:35] llutz_ i need to get into root, how do i enable su [10:35] DHCP is not the issue, it's just DNS [10:35] odix, use sudo -i. [10:35] odix: su needs root password which isn't set and isn't supported in *buntu. use sudo -i to get root shell [10:35] oh, I get it. [10:35] well , I havn't used ubuntu since. Problem is i can't seem to find how to show hidden folder.. lil help please [10:35] VxQe: DNS does not effect what is in your /etc/hosts file. [10:35] tail interprets | col -b as more commands... [10:35] how do I stop that? [10:35] VxQe: pastebinit /etc/hosts [10:36] (as in more files for it to monitor) [10:36] uhm, not supported, thats odd, it should disable it but allow you to get into it [10:36] usr13, I know. If I install bind on the machine then otherboxes will be able to resolve my internal things with static IPs [10:36] so if i want another local user to sudo -i into root, i have to give him my password ? [10:36] odix: sudo -i how often do we have to repeat? [10:36] that doesnt make any sense [10:36] VxQe: is 127.0.0.1 localhost [10:36] first line? [10:36] Yep. [10:36] llutz_ dude i see it. [10:36] the host file is working fine. [10:36] odix: you have to add him to the admin group [10:37] llutz: hmm ok, ill google that, just not use to ubuntu yet, thanks for your help [10:37] anyone ,, show hidden folders,, ubuntu 11.04 [10:37] odix: sudo adduser admin [10:37] trojan: CTRL+H [10:38] VxQe: So, were you intending to att this line in the hosts file of all your PCs? [10:38] ...No. [10:38] VxQe: Btw, why are you opposed to using dd-wrt image on the router? [10:38] usr13, I think there is a misunderstanding between what you think I want and what I am trying to achieve. [10:38] VxQe: Yes, there must be. [10:38] I don't want to flash my router/void my warranty/etc. [10:38] hmm already had him added, ill append [10:38] VxQe: i believe there is a file which will tell your OS to update the router [10:39] still worked [10:39] Apart from one machine not being resolvable via dns, the router works fine. [10:39] odix: the user has to re-login to activate changes [10:39] So rather not muck with it. [10:39] thanks [10:39] VxQe: Well then take the router back and get one that does what you want it to do. (If it is the router's warranty you are interested in.) [10:40] If I can direct DNS queries to the ubuntu server, that makes the most sense. [10:40] VxQe: So what is it, exactly, you are tying to do? [10:40] ahh thanks, was wondering why it wasnt working [10:40] VxQe:what are u tryin to do? [10:41] Let's start again. [10:41] how would I go about making notification-applet or whatever it's called show notifications that I wish to be shown? [10:41] ubuntu (afaik) doesn't run dns servers [10:41] good idea [10:41] Xofrats: Sure it will. [10:41] no by default [10:41] not* [10:42] My router will not resolve my ubuntu server via DNS, presumably because it has a static IP. I have a little appliance in my livingroom that needs to access the server. It cannot do so because it cannot resolve the IP address via DNS. [10:42] then use a host file [10:43] VxQe: You don't resolve IP address You resolve domain names. [10:43] The appliance only really needs to resolve the ubuntu server. My feeling as that the best option is to install bind on the ubuntu server and point the appliance at it. [10:43] Xofrats: you can install dnsmasq for a nice dns service [10:43] You resolve the ip via the hostname. :/ [10:43] so its on the LAN side .. [10:43] VxQe: No. You resolve hostnames to IP addreesses [10:43] VxQe: if you set the interface to DHCP (address only) you can then specify the DNS servers and in the order you desire [10:43] bind is overkill for that [10:43] i dont see why the host file would not work [10:44] It's an appliance so I cannot access it's bits. [10:44] I cannot change it's hostfile, etc. [10:44] internal server error on wiki.ubuntu.com? [10:44] VxQe: I do that myself and always install a local dnsmasq service to all systems to speed up web access [10:44] VxQe: If you put the domain name and IP address in your /etc/hosts file, it will work. Right? [10:44] Yes except that I cannot modify the hosts file on the appliance. [10:44] (That is, if you want to use a domain name.) [10:44] yeah, something like dnsmasq tied to dhcp [10:44] i have two servers running on a local network, basically one is a copy of another, whats a good palce to start so when automatically backs up the other to the t ? [10:44] VxQe: You can't just use IP address? [10:45] No. [10:45] It's a seagate media thingy, it is pretty lousy. [10:45] lol [10:45] ill be doing all my editing on 1 server, and just want the second server to mirror the first [10:45] VxQe: The appliance does not have option to use IP address rather than host name? [10:45] bitch to seagate? ^^) [10:45] adding users, everything in essence.,, [10:46] what is the appliance ? [10:46] usr13, no. [10:46] VxQe: lousy router, lousy apliance... sou should better watch what you buy ;) [10:46] Basically it only shows things it can resolve. [10:46] VxQe: If I were you, I'd get a router that has options you need. What is the model number of your router? [10:46] that's idiotic [10:46] Not replacing my router which is fine. ~_~ [10:47] VxQe: What is the model number of your router? [10:47] ~_~ [10:48] VxQe: can you telnet to your router and do stuff there? === chomping_ is now known as chomping [10:48] VxQe: most home grade junk doesn't let you by default [10:48] VxQe: Use a linux firewall. Turn off the dhcp server on the router and use a linux box as router, (at that point, the router will become a switch) [10:48] Sadly no telnet on the router. [10:48] run dnsmasq and the dhcp it comes with [10:48] VxQe: Why do you need telnet? [10:48] I don't want to use another DHCP thing. [10:49] you are going to have to [10:49] If I can run dnsmasq without the dhcp, I'll do that. [10:49] lol [10:49] Damn. [10:49] Hah I just tried that, I logged into my router and enable ssl on port 992 [10:49] VxQe: Then dont. Trun it off. [10:49] And than when I connected it said nothing [10:49] And than disconnect me after approx 10 seconds [10:50] how do i change the default file manager [10:50] VxQe: You can run dnsmasq without DHCP. Just tell the router to issue nameserver address of the box that is running dnsmasq [10:50] if he wants to resolve stuff, dnsmasq needs to know what to shove it to the pos meddia thing === Tee is now known as Guest70103 [10:50] VxQe: I know darn well it has that option. [10:51] I mean yeah you can run dnsmasq without, but how is that going to help him resolve internal stuff [10:51] What GNOME programs use the environmant variable LANGUAGE for what purpose? (In contrast to LANG.) [10:51] i will give award who makes 10+ posts a day [10:51] to forum [10:52] How do I install tar balls? [10:52] yep [10:52] i will give award who makes 10+ posts a day [10:52] to forum [10:53] jragon: untar it then install [10:53] either tell seagate to grow a brain, most likely it's using gpl stuff to begin with [10:53] jazz2: tar zxvf tarball.tgz ; cd tarball/ ; ./configure ; make ; sudo make install [10:53] Hey guys.

When i log in from the terminal i get the message "You do not own that encrypted directory". So clearly Veetle has messed something up. Does anybody know a solution to this?

I'm running 11.04 x86_64 but cpu doesn't flag long-mode. [11:00] so he'll have to go semi-static or reservation [11:01] Yeah, I heard the 127.0.0.0 block is ripe for taking [11:01] * Xofrats still does not understand why a whole /8 was needed for "localhost" [11:01] hmm gparted having issues bring up both my ssd and regular hd [11:02] Xofrats: ipv4 is ripe to die (since ages) [11:02] I guess no rootstock expert here... [11:02] OK! [11:02] dnsmasq did the trick. [11:02] Xofrats: is it /8 I thought it was /24 [11:02] I hope it isn't leasing dhcp address though. :) [11:02] VxQe: dnsmasq is the BOM [11:02] ActionParsnip, APPARENTLY. [11:02] It is /8 afaik [11:03] is there a way to make notify-osd not ignore the timeout and allow me to click on it to make it go away? [11:03] can anybody help me pls with flash player in Ubuntu 10.10 both in firefox and chromium [11:03] Xofrats: ActionParsnip it is /8 [11:03] Also, what can I use to configure runlevel services in ubuntu? [11:03] Used to rhel. :/ [11:04] !runlevel | VxQe [11:04] VxQe: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [11:04] wsagent, !ask [11:04] Xofrats: yeah it's /8 weird [11:04] !upstart > VxQe [11:04] VxQe, please see my private message [11:04] Right, what do I use to disable services, etc? [11:04] buff27: i was having flash before but now its not working [11:05] VxQe: check how long name resolutions take to happen after the second ask ;) [11:05] llutz_: yeah, weird stuff [11:05] buff27:it says download latest flash player [11:05] llutz_: surely /30 is enough.... [11:05] I know what upstart is. What utility is used to configure it? [11:05] ActionParsnip: "nobody needs more than 640k!" [11:06] wsagent, give it a go or try uninstall - re-install flash [11:06] That was intel's doing [11:06] how can i uninstall it sorry i am newbeeee [11:07] the 808x couldn't even address a full 1mb [11:07] wsagent: Are you trying to get flashplaer plugin to work? [11:07] llutz_: it got people to the moon ;) [11:07] usr13: yes [11:08] hello, i got a little question. i am on a windows pc right now and i have an ubuntu server at home. i have access via ssh but i wuld like to vnc it.. unfortunately, i forgot to open port 5900 on my router. is it possible to open mozilla via ssh and transfer that window on my windows computer? i heard, that is possible somehow :S [11:08] ActionParsnip: fake [11:08] wsagent, try: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer , then sudo apt-get inatall flashplugin-installer [11:08] llutz_: according to 2 dead trolls in a baggie its fact [11:08] ssh tunneling is possible [11:08] wsagent: http://trryhend.startlogic.com/ [11:08] Hi, is this the official ubuntu help channel? [11:09] wsagent, to be honest I'm not sure what the problem is [11:09] Some clients can set up tunnel forwarding [11:09] tebinu: sure, you can turn on X forwarding in your SSH client and launch the browser [11:09] hmm ActionParsnip could you help me a bit with that, i am not that much into linux [11:09] tebinu: for a linux client use: ssh -X username@host [11:09] aah [11:09] tebinu: you'll need a xserver on windows for that running [11:09] tebinu: then when you launch the browser, it will appear on the client X server [11:09] he uses vnc, though [11:10] how can i get an xserver on my windows pc [11:10] Xofrats: s/he has ssh enabled but forgot to port forward vnc [11:10] !vnc [11:10] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [11:10] wsagent: Or: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin === D_N_X is now known as DNX [11:10] i have a 100mbit connection at home so it should be ok. its just important, that everything goes over the ssh poort [11:11] Can anyone help me with installing and enabling xen on a UEC since my hardware doesnt support hardware virtualization? [11:11] yeah, it is [11:11] tebinu: what activities do you want to do on the remote system? [11:11] wsagent: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629749/ [11:11] user13: thanks a lot your first option worked for me uninstall and reinstall [11:11] usr [11:11] ActionParsnip: i just need to open mozilla, to access the administration of my router [11:12] wsagent: ok [11:12] so i can then open port 5900 [11:12] usr13: thanks a lot [11:12] and do it via x11vnc.. thats easier for me and also makes it better when i want to vnc via my mobile phone [11:12] uhh, no, go to that url about vncoverssh [11:12] i am there but as far as i can see, it always says something about port 5900 :S [11:13] tebinu: sure but when you get vnc going, what will you be doing on the remote system? [11:13] Thnks!! === me is now known as Guest99620 [11:13] tebinu: you can simply launch mozilla in the ssh console [11:13] buff27: thanks a lot for your help too ... it worked after reinstalling flash plugin [11:13] hmm [11:14] wsagent: yea, it's his advise you used. [11:14] tebinu: if you use a windows OS for client you can install xming for the app to stick to [11:14] tebinu: you do know that many apps have web UIs... [11:14] ah okay, will do that and come back in a minute [11:14] yea [11:14] usr13: but i used your help in coding thanks again [11:15] tebinu: what do you plan to do over the link? [11:16] change ports on my router then via the web administration [11:16] but port 80 is already forwarded by my router [11:16] so i cannot directly access it from here [11:16] tebinu: hmm, no telnet access? [11:17] test [11:17] Can anyone help me with enabling xen on a UEC since my hardware doesnt support hardware virtualization? [11:17] i dont know anything about telnet and i dont want to break my router :S === MadSweeney_ is now known as MadSweeney [11:17] lol tebinu it's easy [11:18] tebinu, use ssh as a proxy in your broswer http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/12/08/ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-forwarding-secure-browsing/ === MadSweeney is now known as Guest88722 [11:18] tebinu: telnet then enter username and pass [11:18] look at docs for ssh tunneling [11:18] buff27: why does he want to encrypt access to the router [11:18] omg. [11:18] Hoi , I have a desktop lying around running Windows XP , i want to install X/K/Ubuntu on it but the problem is that it has a broken CD Rom and an old BIOS in whichi cant figure out how to boot using a pen drive. I also have a laptop currently running Ubuntu 11.04. So is there any way i could install Ubuntu on my Desktop machine ?Like boot ISO from the hard disk or using the laptop to force boot the desktop ? Thanks. [11:18] you are making it too complicated [11:19] tebinu: just do it via http [11:19] why use telnet [11:19] rcconf: not possible.. port 80 is forwarded to my apache at home [11:19] port forward 80 to the router 80, ssh can do stuff like that [11:19] what about https? [11:19] otherwise i would just access the webinterface via http [11:19] rcconf, was thinking ssh tunnel then do it via http [11:19] hmm [11:20] wait i check [11:20] my router supports 443 [11:20] ssh clients can forward a local port to the local net on remote [11:20] doesnt seem to work.. The connection has timed out [11:20] rcconf, tebinu I've done it with ssh tunnel to do it [11:20] buff27: I know it's possible.. [11:20] wsagent: Note; They don't always say when the plugin gets updated. You just have to over-write it once in a while. [11:21] tebinu: nmap -p https [11:21] usr13: yeah i know it now [11:22] and you should be using ssh tunneling anyway [11:22] Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-06-20 12:21 CEST [11:22] Nmap scan report for 192.168.11.1 [11:22] Host is up (0.0031s latency). [11:22] PORT STATE SERVICE [11:22] tebinu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:22] 443/tcp closed https [11:22] tebinu: yeah it's closed.. [11:22] instead of opening unencrypted ports [11:23] tebinu: so you want to access the router remotely right [11:23] server irc-hispano.org [11:23] yea [11:24] tebinu: it's not the same than accessing in LAN [11:24] tebinu, and you have access to a ssh server behind the router? [11:24] i dont know if someone answered my question a few minutes ago, i lost my connection. If anyone did please feel free to repeat [11:24] yea [11:25] and it looks like my router does not accept telnet [11:25] telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [11:25] he wants to vnc to access his router page so he can port forward the vnc [11:25] exactly [11:25] making it waaay complicated [11:26] tebinu, yeah then ssh in to your server with -D 9999 (ssh -D 9999 username@ip-address-of-ssh-server) [11:26] tebinu: dude if you are accessing it remotely you cant access telnet directly [11:26] he's using win* [11:26] tebinu, read the link [11:26] you gotta have lan access [11:26] :S [11:27] or enable remote control in router [11:27] he does [11:27] via ssh [11:27] well i have a server in the lan with router [11:27] the thing is that i obviosly do not have permission to access my home folder anymore after installing Veetle. In the .ecryptfs the files looks like the following: "private.mnt rw" "private.sig rw" "wrapped-passphrase rw" Is rw enough for those files? [11:27] Xofrats, glad you can keep up [11:27] and I told him 10 times to use ssh tunneling [11:27] i will try Xofrats [11:28] Whats more is that "wrapped-passphrase" is owned by "my_user_name root" [11:28] Xofrats: with destination being the router IP and port? [11:28] he could do that yes [11:29] i see [11:29] but the whole purpose of him doing that is to open 5900 to the world [11:29] which is a bad idea(tm) [11:30] why is that? he just need to use a strong password, encrypt vnc traffic and change default port [11:30] vnc generally sucks [11:30] Xofrats: i only need it for like one day but i am not at home for a month now :S [11:30] rcconf: vnc has zero encryption [11:30] i could install teamviewer on it thereafter [11:30] ActionParsnip: exactly you can encrypt using a ssh tunnel or vpn [11:31] my idea was to install teamviewer but i dont have any idea how to install it via terminal [11:31] there's lots of tutorials explaining that [11:31] rcconf: true but it does sound like he is going to connect to wan ip using vnc client [11:31] ... he's trying to access the router so he can port forward 5900 ... [11:31] hence the bad idea(tm) === chomping_ is now known as chomping [11:32] Xofrats: it's not bad idea if no one can't crack it [11:32] lol [11:32] sure, 12345 [11:33] 12345678, very secure 8 digit [11:33] he's on 100mbit, ain't going to take long to brute-force [11:33] &$X0f4T5=== [11:33] no one can crack it easily [11:33] :) [11:34] well i would be happy if i would be that far to think about securing that connection :D [11:34] random question#27321617: whats the best way to go about learning the deeper linux structure (hardware interface, adv. bash commands, etc)? Book? Learning program? [11:34] use the source, linus [11:34] *duck* [11:34] tebinu: you should access the VPN with encryption for that you use a SSH tunnel so no one can sniff your VNC password. [11:35] VNC* [11:35] sry [11:35] or wait, was that "may the source be with you" [11:35] lol [11:35] :D [11:35] Xofrats, was that a response to me? [11:35] ok well lets start from the beginning. Xofrats: you told me to install xming. i did that, how should i proceed? [11:35] yes [11:35] wow i am having the time of my life simply deleting a whole hard drive [11:36] no, I said no such thing [11:36] i have two hdds, both have filesystems on it, i cant connect both because i cant boot then [11:36] oh [11:36] then it was someone else [11:36] i just want to remove all the data on one and mount it as a new partition... [11:37] x as a protocol isnt't all that great [11:37] Xofrats: What do mean by go to the source? I doubt Linus has time for dinner this evening. Does he write a good amount of material or something? [11:37] tebinu: 1- install, configure VNC and create a strong password (numbers, special chars, lower and uppercase) 2- create a ssh server with private key... connect to VNC using SSH server. [11:37] which is why you have vnc/nx/etc [11:37] why cant i do this ? [11:37] why is this so hard to do ? just format one whole hard drive, they both have linux on them, but i cant both put htem in it doesnt work. [11:37] remove or move? [11:37] it wont boot [11:38] remove is easy, dd if=/dev/zero of= bs=512 count=1 [11:38] odix: use gparted? [11:38] Hello good morning, pls how can I add additional http port to the current one which is 80 by default ? [11:38] poof, no more data [11:38] or anything, i really just need to erase the mbr of it === bunny is now known as Guest31419 [11:39] ive tried evertying, i just cant get gparted to pick it up for some reason? [11:39] that erases the mbr [11:39] the mbr is stored on the hd no ? [11:39] boot from rescue cd [11:39] I have two hds [11:39] odix: you can use disk utility [11:39] first 512bytes [11:39] you can use dban..... you can use gparted [11:39] Umm... I just found a very suspicious .conf file. Why would there be a Trolltech.conf? [11:39] both have linux on them, just want to erase one [11:39] trolltech is for qt [11:39] Guest31419: paste the content [11:39] gparted wont pick it up, i tried plugging it in after i booted, doesnt work, or it doesnt boot. [11:39] Xofrats: What do mean by go to the source? I doubt Linus has time for dinner this evening. Does he write a good amount of Linux educational material or something? [11:40] don't plug after boot [11:40] [Qt] [11:40] style=Gtk+ [11:40] so i guess it's sound [11:40] connect the one you want to wipe, boot from rescue, parse dmesg, dd away [11:40] just seems strange to have it named that and capitalized nonetheless [11:40] irc.taphouse.org [11:41] you said you wanted to learn about the inner working of linux [11:41] no better way than to read the source, unless you are versed in binary and can read elf [11:43] i got it to work !!! [11:43] with ssh tunneling [11:43] ;) [11:43] wasnt as hard as i thought [11:43] thanks all [11:43] tebinu: yeah make sure you use strong passwords.. [11:43] only took 11 tries [11:43] because ppl here have your IP [11:43] :) [11:44] Xofrats: LOL, fair enough. I really dont understand source. I guess thats my real question. How do I learn to read source code? Most source I see looks like the afformentioned elf... [11:44] username: tebinu password: unibet :P [11:44] well, one thing that you can do is read the mailing list [11:45] but sooner or later you'lll [11:45] wow i cant believe its this difficult or ubuntu server wont boot with two hd's connected each containing a root filesystem, it should read bios and see which one i want to boot and not mount the other [11:45] have to look at the source [11:45] brings me to busybox [11:46] xofrats do you mean rescue cd or boot into rescue mode ? [11:46] rescue cd [11:46] How do I access the mailing list Xofrats? [11:46] rcconf: thanks, already have a strong one :D [11:46] I assume you have one? [11:46] ok === Cain` is now known as Cain [11:46] the name of the left and right boob of my gf. i hope that doesnt let me look retarded [11:46] if the whole purpose is to nuke the drive [11:46] well. i am in the internet [11:47] been trying to get this going for hours cant belive it haha [11:47] just take the easiest option [11:47] is there a possible way to erase the /root of the second hd in busybox? [11:48] Umm, if you just dd the first 512byte [11:48] next boot all partition will be gone [11:48] Xofrats: How do I access the mailing list? I also want to say thank you. You're the only person on here who has ever made me feel even remotely welcome. [11:48] *poof* [11:48] how do i do that ? [11:48] Dunno, ask Dr. google? [11:49] please help me, right now i have my ssd, the hd i want in sata slot 1, i have the regular hd, in sata slot 2, im in busybox [11:49] ive been trying seriously [11:49] for some reason gparted doesnt even pick it up, only /dev/sda, [11:49] not both... [11:49] odix: do you see them in BIOS? [11:49] its really confusing me, im not stupid, for some reason a solution keeps evading me [11:49] action: yes [11:49] Can't you boot with the nukee and a rescue cd? [11:50] make it easy [11:50] so you don't end up nuking the wrong one [11:50] xofrats im dowwlnoading rescue now [11:50] http://pastebin.com/T6EmgBTG [11:50] i just dont get why gpartd wont c it [11:50] what am i doing wrooong? [11:50] or there isny an easier way... [11:50] Odix, I believe the "Ask Dr. Google" was for me. Your problem is serious. Mine isn't. Good luck guys! I think Xofrats essentially just told me to RTFM. LOL. [11:50] getting rescue remix now [11:51] any ol bootable linux cd will do [11:51] Guest31419: you are trying to install a nonexistant package [11:51] =P [11:51] ActionParsnip, it was a silly joke anyway. [11:51] xofrats, i know. but ubuntu is not picking it up and i dont know why [11:52] umm, then how did you boot from it before? [11:52] hello xD [11:52] and i cant get gparted to run off usb, i have usb-fdd, usb-cd, and another usb in my boot options [11:52] with ubunntu? [11:52] xofrats: one by one [11:52] im combinging two server hds into one [11:52] Odix, have you tried running the gparted live cd? I usually have better luck that way. [11:52] its seriously making me go crazy [11:52] as I said, disconnect the one you want to save [11:52] Guest31419: i know ;) [11:53] thereaper: yes, it only picks up one had, not the other\ [11:53] so, liek, m y frend keepz on goin on abut how good his linuxx system is. wtf is it?

[12:00] thereaper243: if you mean pm, use /msg [12:01] I feel sillier for having tried that, though [12:01] =P [12:01] Ah yes. /msg. Fail. [12:01] thereaper243: try: /msg user text [12:01] Lanlost: you can mount .img and create bin cue with another tool [12:02] is .img just a standard .iso? [12:02] is there any other way forcing the kill to really kill the process [12:02] Lanlost, afaik there was a difference [12:03] kakashi_: what is the PID [12:03] LanLost: I think it depends on the compression level. For some files the answer is yes. For some, mac formatting is different. [12:03] heres the reason for this. I have a game that I created a .ccd/.img years ago when the disc was becoming unreadable. I haven't done anything with it in years (It is relentless: little big adventure, in case you are curious.. amazing mid 90's game from adeline) [12:03] 31068 [12:03] kakashi_: sudo kill -9 31068 [12:03] anyway, I have dosxbox for my XBOX. I really wanted to see if it were possible to 'emulate' it in this. [12:03] Lanlost http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3115582 this might help you [12:03] There's utilities to convert from it [12:04] I can mount ISOs in dosbox.. but in order to keep audio tracks, it's gotta be .bin/.cue. Otherwise, I would just convert it to .iso or copy the files over [12:04] thank you [12:05] Lanlost apparently there's also a nero for linux that supports .img that has a demo [12:05] Good Luck! [12:05] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8iV3tnS13s [12:06] I can always support nostalgia gaming *g [12:06] in case you are curious. An incredible game that is unlike any other I played as a kid. I'm dying to hear this music again. The CD audio version. [12:07] Oooh I remember that one [12:07] that's the non-cd version of course. Or.. I think if you don't have the cd in it defaults to that version or something. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. [12:08] yeah 4:40 is where you first leave. You can hear why I want the cd-audio =/ sounds horrible [12:10] Best of luck. I hope you get it figured out. If you need some more help googling or fiddling around trying to get it to work, feel free to poke me anytime. [12:10] yes i do [12:10] You know. I just mounted it via gCDEmu [12:11] It shows up as two devices. One for the disk and then one for "audio cd". I wonder if Icould just CREATE a .bin/.cue from this somehow [12:12] Sounds like it's worth a shot at least [12:12] at the very least you should be able to extract the audio from it somehow now [12:17] hello [12:17] how's everybody today [12:18] Fantastic as Dr. Who would say. [12:19] < thereaper243 > lol [12:19] < thereaper243 > what os do u use [12:21] Yo~ [12:21] Hi folks, does anyone here know alot about startup disk creator or Unetbootin? [12:21] I am having trouble trying to create any liveUSB using either of them on two seperate USB drives [12:22] any particular distro? [12:23] the best luck I've had with live-media was using puppy, though that's not everyone's cup of tea. [12:24] I've tried it on both ubuntu and pinguyOS (ubuntu based) and also on windows no joy [12:25] sorry to hear [12:25] hello , shockwave in ubuntu is that possible?? [12:25] do you have any more details about what went wrong? [12:25] megabraker, via crossover or wine, yes otherwise afaik no [12:26] Anyone have any ideas why I can see my desktop trough windows in 11.04 [12:26] I've tried to create about a dozen LiveUSB using both startup disk creator and unetbootin. At first I thought it was the USB drive so I used another with the same results. I made sure both were formatted using Fat32 but no joy [12:26] I guess it's some driver problem or something. [12:26] ok so i need to porivde a port myself [12:26] megabraker, i haven't looked into it in a year though so things might have changed. [12:26] the only error I get is from Startup Disk Creator and it reads an uncaught exception was raised Errno5 input/output error [12:27] o_oll so i need to porvide a port myself [12:27] Cryptic and fucking useless [12:27] megabraker, likely [12:27] can any one recommend a v host manger for a localhost environment, so I dont have to do it all manually? [12:28] Davidius, Certainly. Hmm. How is your USB setup? (USB hub, or builtin, USB version) [12:28] USB is SDCard plugged into an adapter and then directly into the mobo at the back [12:29] Davidius, That might be the problem. I know my motherboard had issues with booting off SD [12:30] Davidius, my desktop can do it, but it requires a special bios setting. Have you tried with a regular old USB stick? [12:30] Ive used this methods dozens of times before without any issue [12:30] so why start now? [12:30] o__oll, but thats booting this is just installing it to the usb [12:30] Yes tried a small 512 USB I had and no joy [12:30] I suppose, that's true [12:30] there is no problem booting from them I can get the standard UNETbootin screen but when I try to boot the image it fails over === Xaevo is now known as Anthraxium-64 [12:31] Argh, I ran into that issue before, but I can't for the life of me remember if/how I resolved it. Sorry I can't be of more help :/ [12:32] [Natty GNOME 2] Why shows Nautilus the directory /root with a special symbol "file card with right half in red and left half white with a skew cross"? What does this icon mean? [12:32] FUCK nuggets [12:32] Let me go through my old notes, if I remember or find something useful i'll let you know. [12:32] so it is an issue [12:32] Davidius, have you tried a older version of the OSes? it might be some problem with the new insatller that they have in 10.10-11.04 [12:32] nice to know such a frustrating and blocking issue is so well documented with the project [12:32] I swear developers should get a slap when they do stupid things [12:33] I only have 11.04 on my computers, Im trying to downgrade onf of them to 10.10 hence trying to create the LiveUSB [12:33] ok [12:34] hi..I changed the language of my system 2 days before..now I want to remove it and again want english.I removed the language from language support but and restarted the pc.but its still there in some parts..pl.. help [12:34] ei I have a questioN: [12:34] What files are these at /var/lib/dhcp3/ ? [12:34] dhcp leases? [12:34] wth [12:35] d_atharva: What is your GUI? What is your Ubuntu relaease number? [12:35] 10.01 [12:35] lol [12:35] doesnt exist [12:35] sry...10.10 [12:36] may I delete files inside /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient ? [12:36] how can i compress a file? [12:36] * /var/lib/dhcp3/ [12:36] DamnSoGooD: install rar [12:37] bullgard4 : 10.10 mavrik [12:37] DamnSoGooD: use bzip2 or gzip [12:37] jrib: most common extracters dont support it [12:37] Does UNetBootin have an IRC channel? [12:37] rcconf: sure they do :/ [12:37] ..or not [12:38] ;o [12:38] but yeah I use .rar [12:38] DamnSoGooD: right click it and you can compress there [12:38] ActionParsnip: I have a lot of files inside /var/lib/dhcp3/ old stuff [12:38] there's no context menu for compress [12:38] .7z is amazing. [12:39] wait i try p7zip [12:39] DamnSoGooD: they are all pretty decent [12:39] rcconf: not sure there dude, sorry [12:39] may I delete these dhclient.* files? [12:40] rcconf: not sure, others may be able to advise. Is there nothing online detailing them? [12:40] i got it p7zip-full :D [12:40] it seems it creates .leases and .lease files when I use dhcp [12:41] most of those entries are old eh [12:41] it's like a log [12:42] Hi... Am new to Ubuntu.... [12:42] i have installed phpMyAdmin via my ubuntu cli, but cant access the gui afterwards using the ip address/phpmyadmin [12:43] ActionParsnip: hm it seems that it's created by wicd [12:44] rcconf: i use wicd on my lappy. I'll look into that. Thanks for the detail :D [12:44] anyone? [12:44] ok, this is an issue I've asked about before months ago but I've still got it... I've got an intel atom/nvidia based machine running Ubuntu 11.04, (same issue on 10.04 and 10.10) where I have a gigabit ethernet port (Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP79 Ethernet (rev b1)) connected via Cat6 (also tried Cat5e) to a router with gigabit ports. I can only get about 20kbytes/sec to anything [12:44] on the network or to the internet, what's going on? [12:45] smf-tre as in using the IP address of the myPHPAdmin server via the browser? [12:45] smftre: users reply if they can help just a wait a little [12:45] Davidius, yes [12:45] smftre, are you sure you have the IP right - can you ping it? [12:45] yes, 100% certain, if I go there without /phpmyadmin then it goes to the "it works! default page" [12:46] smftre, can you bring up any page on the Ubutnu server as in the base page of the server [12:46] man dhclient :P [12:46] smftre - then its obviously something up with myPHPAdmin and not ubuntu or the server. Sorry I cant be of more help but Im not familiar with myPHPAdmin at all [12:46] Davidius, ok thanks anyways :) [12:47] d_atharva: What is your GUI? [12:47] smftre: can you access it from localhost [12:47] smftre: and if you go to /phpmyadmin, what happens then? [12:48] wols_, 404 [12:48] smftre - is /phpmyadmin the correct addy? Not being smart just double checking [12:48] smftre: ls -l /var/www/phpmyadmin* [12:48] Davidius, it's the default for phpmyadmin apparently [12:49] I see it's at /etc/phpmyadmin/ [12:49] @smftre - sounds like Wols_ knows alot more than me [12:49] smftre: no. that is config, not a webpage there [12:49] hi [12:49] hi lolmatic [12:49] ok [12:49] somehow my cron isnt executed properly === Shock is now known as Guest1134 [12:49] 32 * * * * /etc/ftp-index.sh [12:50] i want it to be run hourly [12:50] so whats the right addy wols_? [12:50] ActionParsnip: it's history of valid dhcp requests thats why I got the same IP even if I wanted another IP :P [12:51] I thought it was router fault [12:51] lolmatic: pastebin the contents of your script [12:51] lolmatic: try /binbash /etc/ftp-index.sh [12:51] jrib: when i call the script it runs without problems. just the cron isnt being executed [12:51] Davidius, I may be onto a solution here, will update you all in a minute [12:52] lolmatic: and you missed user in that line [12:52] lolmatic: for me to help you, you need to pastebin the contents of your script [12:53] lolmatic: you can always copy script to /etc/cron.hourly [12:53] Davidius, sorted, i needed to modify the apache2.conf to include it manually.. [12:53] spass: user? [12:53] lolmatic: like: 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly [12:54] lolmatic: in /etc/crontab syntax needs declaring user [12:54] lolmatic: you would only need to specify a user if you aren't using a user's crontab (you're instead using the /etc/crontab). But you should use a user's crontab (by using crontab -e) [12:55] how can i force the cron.hourly to run now? [12:55] to test it? [12:55] * jrib sighs [12:55] hi everyone [12:55] hi thezman60 [12:56] hi ActionParsnip [12:56] lolmatic: change time in /etc/crontab that handles running cron.daily scripts [12:56] lolmatic: sudo run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly [12:56] change timekeeping divider symbol from : to / [12:56] Im a real newbie to xchat [12:56] hi.

[13:04] nope [13:05] one drive is completely blank unallocatd, even tried formatting it, still nothing [13:05] it might be a hardware incompatibility, though it's not the most likely it [13:05] anyone knows how to disable gpg check in synaptic?

[13:07] im going to try a clean install, i guess. [13:08] geekyogi: gpg check for what? [13:08] odix, okay I'm doing a bit of research into your error [13:08] how to find out that? [13:08] JaggMo you don't want to do that, as it will cause problems with kernel updates in ubuntu [13:08] odix, to see of there's anything else we can do before you lose data [13:08] Hiyas [13:08] ActionParsnip, for packages in apt, synaptic [13:08] o__oll [13:08] geekyogi: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update and I can advise [13:08] wols_: how to find out?...

[13:09] with both of them plugged in [13:09] if yes then it's probably just a config issue [13:10] ActionParsnip: Am working on that now... [13:10] The thing is that..

[13:12] you can use it to try and boot into otherwise broken systems most of the time [13:12] i havent tried that [13:12] so that I can make use of backtrack packages [13:12] on ubuntu [13:12] geekyogi: that is not supported, there are certain things different, you don't mix and match like that [13:13] ActionParsnip: Done.. Now do u want me to restart pc?....

[13:42] odix, Try asking Suhana, from the peppermint (os) help chat. would probably know. Is practically always online on #peppermint@irc.spotchat.org [13:42] I just clicked on "Download now" [13:42] whgat is the best way of deleting a huge huge file (of the order of 400 G) [13:42] i want to automaticly start a backup everytime when i connect the disk [13:42] after i installed KDE the Unity and planels wont load :( [13:42] I dont want to use rm, its slow as hell [13:42] unlink perhaps [13:42] but i dont see why rm would be slow.. normally deletion is quite fast. [13:43] now 400000+ 1k files.. could be slow... [13:43] brb [13:43] Good Afternoon All [13:43] well, this is taking a long long time [13:43] don really know why, probably the way it is stored [13:43] its a basically a file with the STDOUTS [13:44] its just a single file with oustream from C++ [13:45] I am not sure, why it is taking such a long time [13:45] ok back [13:45] after i installed KDE the Unity and planels wont load :( [13:46] it wont give me any error [13:46] kakashi_ how about creating an empty file, then saving it under the name of the big file in the same directory as the big file [13:46] overwriting might be faster. [13:47] i thought deleteing a file was very fast because its just unlinking the name from the data. I cant even rember the right terms now... [13:47] need help with this:: (wlan0): device state change: 8 -> 3 (reason 38) [13:48] what does it mean [13:48] david__, could you clarify? Are you logging into the KDE enviroment or the unity environment? [13:48] no Unity [13:49] rinkukokiri: you'd need to read the source to see what (and know a lot about this chip as well probably) [13:49] david__, it sounded like you were booting to the KDE desktop automatically after, which by deafult wouldn't launch unity. If that were the case it would have been an easy fix [13:49] Hi [13:49] atheros ar928x o__oll [13:49] I'm just an intermediate user myself and haven't used unity much so i can't help much there unfortunately [13:49] er wols srry o__oll [13:50] np [13:50] after i installed KDE then loged in to KDE then restarted my pc then i selected Ubuntu then Unity and panels didn't load [13:50] wols_, well, it seems if one user logs out while another is logged in the network applet disappears from the gnome-panel and I then have no internet connection [13:51] so why the panels wont load :( [13:51] How can I download headers for linux-2.6.35-28 I need those headers because I am running natty on that kernel [13:51] Can anyone tell me an alternative way to connect to a wireless connection (in case the network applet crashes again?) [13:51] david__, click log out. When you're logging back in there should be a dropdown box somwhere that allows you to chose your WM [13:51] there select unity [13:52] rinkukokiri: that's not a wlan problem but very very much sounds like the typical shitty network manager idiocy :P [13:52] i did [13:52] it wont load :( [13:52] wols_, well. is there an alternative? [13:52] rinkukokiri: use wicd if you must have a network manager thingie or use /etc/network/interfaces directly [13:52] david__, you could try a 'unity --reset' or 'unity --reset-icons' [13:52] david__, ill exit lubuntu here and go to unity. I got kde, lxde and unity all installed... brb [13:53] ok i go try it i will be back [13:53] Printing at cli works using lpr, openoffice printing works from firefox or other gnome apps it doesn't on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas where to look ? [13:53] rinkukokiri: tried a different wireless channel? [13:53] plz tell dr_willis i brb [13:53] ActionParsnip, can't try another channel when i can't manage the connection. [13:53] rinkukokiri: use a wired connection, or another pc [13:54] ActionParsnip, that's not anywhere near what I was asking for... ._. [13:54] hello folks where does /etc/resolv.conf file get populated [13:54] * rinkukokiri realizes how useless this chat/release has become [13:54] ty wols_ peace all [13:54] when i manually change it - it get overwritten [13:54] nobody knows about printing ? [13:55] david__, i see the same issue here.. got Kubuntu+ Ubuntu + lubuntu installed.. first time ive tried unity since installig kde... panels are not loading [13:55] Castatroy: dhcp will rewrite that file each time [13:55] Castatroy: whenever you request a IP via dhcp it gets overwritten. there are several ways around it. the cleanest being a dhcp setting not to request a DNS server [13:55] david__, unity --replace made it come up however.. [13:56] david__, luckly i had a icon on the desktop to launch a terminal.. alt-f2 was not working either [13:56] dr_willis: ctrl+alt+f2 is always there... [13:57] Castatroy: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf has a prepend section where you can put your own dns [13:59] How can I download headers for linux-2.6.35-28 I need those headers because I am currently running natty on that kernel === zaksoldier_ is now known as zaksoldier [13:59] :) thanks [13:59] !headers [13:59] To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [13:59] when u said that [13:59] i searched for unity the i run that in KDE [13:59] cdavis: which parameter do i set for a nic in the /etc/net/interfaces file to set dns [14:00] now is works thanks :) [14:00] it* [14:00] cdavis: packages.ubuntu.com also has it if your current sources.list doesn't have it [14:00] I don't get any update notifications any more after updating to Natty [14:00] dr_willis thanks for the info [14:00] Castatroy: do you use DHCP on that NIC? [14:00] david__, no idea why kde and unity would conflct like that. [14:01] wols_: please no [14:01] but look i searched on the start menu of the KDE Unity [14:01] Castatroy: post-up script then I guess [14:01] the run that now it's working [14:01] Castatroy: I don't think you can setup DNS in the interfaces file [14:01] then* [14:01] david__, no idea what you mean by that.. You expected to find 'unity' in the kde menus? [14:02] Running Unity under kde.. would be.. weird. :) [14:02] possible though [14:02] yah when u open KDE menus search for Unity [14:02] lol [14:02] yah it looks weird [14:02] cdavis: i guess thats where the difference lies between debian and ubuntu then [14:02] i cant even imagine why you would want to david__ [14:02] brb [14:03] I recall years ago accidently geting systems running gnome and kde both at the same time.. caused all sorts of weirdness [14:03] lxde+ unity2D = winning [14:03] ive got a user "ftpmain" and im trying to make a user with pretty much the same permissions but so they can only view a certain folder when they login to my ftp. any ideas please? [14:03] so far i really havent seen much to relate unity to 'win' :) but it is getting improvements [14:03] ok back [14:03] Now if the panel icons and top menu bar would quit getting all messed up when i run a browser.. [14:04] i was on debian for a while.. locked up all the time [14:04] i was on 6.02 i believe it was [14:04] lol but did u try run it on KDE? [14:04] on ppc64 architecture of course [14:04] david__, i dont see the point of even trying thazt [14:05] no i went with fluxbox and xorg [14:05] You can run the gnome-panel on unity. :) [14:05] lol it looks cool [14:05] gnome?????

I then went to AcetoneISO and told it to make an audio image of /dev/sr0 (where it mounded the audio) and it made a bin that is like 80mb.

Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [14:34] monkey, go to backtrack channel for that [14:34] backtrack has a channel here bro [14:34] * dr_willis wonders why beginners always seem to want to use backtrack,. [14:34] makes people leet [14:34] monkey: ask in #backtrack-linux [14:34] * edbian wonders why backtrack people always seem to come to the #ubuntu channel [14:34] !manual | monkey [14:34] monkey: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [14:34] edgars: no idea [14:35] edbian, i think the bt people havent changed the irc client to go else where by defaultg [14:35] * sudokill think it's funny some people use backtrack as their main os, because they think it's more secure [14:35] is that what it is [14:35] edbian, go file a bug report on their site. :) [14:35] that explains a lot [14:36] gnash finally finished compiling yay [14:36] i want to ask about the minimal cd [14:36] has anyone actually installed here [14:37] what ubuntu? [14:37] !minimal [14:37] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:37] well if i do it it's gonna be oneiric.. i'm on lucid [14:38] dinkdink, yes, what's the question [14:38] i was wondering about minimal [14:38] dr_willis: ha, Maybe I will... [14:38] is it similar to arch? [14:39] sudokill: Its Ubuntu with nearly nothing installed. [14:39] i don't really have a question of specificity i just want to know in general how does it compare to ubuntu server because i need the optimum low resource install for ppc64.. just found out about lubuntu-desktop and it runs faster than fluxbox on xorg [14:39] yea, but is the installer similar to arch? [14:39] sudokill, no idea [14:39] sudokill: sort of, it gives you a core system which you can build up from (but arch is rolling-release) [14:39] i know [14:40] dinkdink: then use lubuntu then, server has no X server so will be even faster [14:40] ubuntu minimal sounds good [14:40] ActionParsnip: i am on lubntu now [14:40] dinkdink: its all I use :) [14:40] ActionParsnip: but if i were to minimal install rather than server install would that be worth it [14:41] Hi all [14:41] dinkdink: not really, if you want a server install server. If you want minimal, use minimal [14:42] arch is rolling-release, can you elaborate. i thought arch was another distro [14:42] arch constantly updates [14:42] like gentoo [14:42] no new release every 6 months [14:42] dinkdink, when you update Arch, that is the latest release. [14:42] with arch the only command u need is pacman -Syyu [14:42] thats it [14:42] !ot [14:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:43] jeez im only explaining [14:43] its the wrong place sudokill [14:43] sounds good but i doubt it will run on my ppc64 architecture [14:43] rather trivial issue, full screen flash (eg: youtube) is very chuggy, any ideas on how i may resolve this? [14:43] dinkdink: gentoo would [14:43] nnull, is it 32 bit flash on 64 bit? [14:43] but this is offtopic [14:44] dinkdink, Try it & see. [14:44] Could someone help me out with a groups / permissions thing in Ubuntu server? [14:44] and chrooting and building my own system is beyond my capability at the moment [14:44] 32bit sudokill [14:44] on 32 bit === Kudzu is now known as Guest44668 [14:44] lol :) [14:44] nnull, idk i heard 32 bit flash on 64 has some problems but i hear flash on linux isnt 100% great anyway [14:44] nnull, try reinstalling flash [14:44] it helped me once [14:44] i got a hold of gentoo minimal but non of the images would load [14:45] dinkdink, pm me [14:45] I have a question, why don't I have drop-down menus in any of my application windows? Is that a normal thing for the latest Ubuntu?

[14:46] Guest44668: Very top [14:46] hello everybody [14:46] edbian, Oh man, thanks, glad I didn't upgrade. [14:46] Is there a way to change it back?

[14:46] Awesome, thanks! [14:47] Is Unity going to be in the next LTS?

[14:49] Kartagis: THere is a way to do it, yes [14:49] edbian: google? [14:50] Kartagis: I can just tell you. Do you have a firefox installed right now?

[14:50] Kartagis: You wanna add firefox 3 then. Go to the website and download the version for linux. [14:51] edbian: and then? [14:51] Kartagis: I'm thinking. [14:52] Kartagis: I think the best way to do it is to download ff3 from the site, and make a special symlink for it in /usr/local/bin/ [14:52] edbian: okay thanks [14:53] Kartagis: It is difficult to find a copy of ff3 on the site though :/ [14:54] having issue with video card in 11.04 not outputting highest resolution... been looking on the web but cant seem to find a solution [14:56] it is only displaying 1280x800 on my dell d630c [14:57] windows would output 1440 x 900 [14:59] Would anyone be able to take a guess at why when I type members www-data, my username is in there, but when I type groups, the www-data group doesn't appear in the list?

(might require restart of network manager, window system... so maybe just reboot) [15:10] thank you wols_ [15:10] iridium: no it's not. just register with nickserv and you can go in. even then, it's still not ubuntu related [15:10] sometimes my ubuntu crashes and logtou it self, what could cause it? where can I see a log to know waht can cause this?

[15:15] Is anyone able to help me out with some alsa problems? [15:15] klevison: you can still try running Log file viewer, though it has been known to crash on gnome 3 [15:15] Roasted: the supported distros are in the drop down list, the non-supported ones can be pushed, but obviously, not supported [15:15] ikonia, appreciate it. thanks. [15:16] ikonia, wait are you talking about unetbootin? [15:16] ikonia, what you explain with a drop down list sounds like unetbootin. I was referring to Ubuntu's "Startup Disk Creator" [15:17] Roasted: ahhh, my apologies, in that case, no I don't believe it will work, but I'm not %100 certain [15:17] I can't install gnome-icon-themes-extra, I get only this message: http://pastebin.com/722jDVD6 [15:18] ActionParsnip: wasn't there but i looked up how to set it... do i need to reboot for the changes to take effect? [15:18] hi [15:18] ikonia, all right. I'm trying to get my non-CD drive laptop to boot F15, but unetbootin seems to fail when I make a flash drive. Other users in the Fedora chat confirmed unetbootin's issues with it, so I was trying to find alternatives, such as DD (also failed) and ubuntu's startup disk gizmo. [15:18] gamer1990: broken package [15:18] Roasted: I think your onto a dead one with the startup disk creator tool [15:18] is it a bug that I can't type in mount point field when installing natty? [15:18] the package is broken since last year [15:18] ikonia, it won't work it seems. It won't even allow me to select Fedora, yet Gparted, lubuntu, ubuntu, edubuntu, and my other ISOs are fine to select. sigh... [15:19] can gnome 3 installed on ubuntu lucid? [15:19] adoet_t: gnome 3 is not a supported/stable package in ubuntu [15:19] (well the gnome-shell gnome3 enivornment) [15:20] adoet_t: with a ppa, yes [15:20] jebula: what version ubuntu are you on? [15:20] jkbrntot, 11.04 [15:20] I have in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades set: APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; but i would like to know how can i check that it *really* updated the package list? [15:20] ikonia, 11.10 ships with Gnome 3 though, right? [15:21] Roasted: no, not properly, it's still the unity/gnome environment [15:21] jebula: no sound at all? have you tried changing settings on the panel's sound preferences? (e.g. unmuting?) [15:21] jkbrntot, no sound card is being displayed just the pulseaudio dummy card. [15:21] will ubuntu11 live installed on a usb stick have a persistent fs? [15:22] ikonia, well I know Unity comes by default, but Unity (starting with 11.10) will be Gnome 3 based, so Gnome Shell, I would think, would work as good as any other distro once you install Gnome Shell. Eh?? [15:22] Roasted: 11.04 is gnome 3 based [15:22] ikonia, I'm almost certain that isn't true... [15:22] ikonia: you sure ;) [15:22] ikonia, in fact I'm positive Unity is based on 2.X [15:22] parts of it certainly is [15:22] ikonia, Roasted: gnome3? do you mean gtk3? [15:22] ikonia: it's gnome2 with parts of gtk3 [15:22] Pici, I suppose. I just know it as Gnome 2.X or Gnome 3.0, etc. [15:22] jebula: ah no sound card detected at all, has it ever worked in the past? what environment? [15:23] http://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/ you try jhbuild ?.. to get gnome3 [15:23] Roasted: They're not the same thing. [15:23] BlouBlou: thank you, that's a better description [15:23] Roasted: BlouBlou's got it better [15:23] jkbrntot, yes it worked OK on here up until some updates were ran. I tried to revert back without any luck. [15:23] ikonia, gotcha. [15:23] ikonia: ahhh that explains a lot [15:24] I certainly hope 11.10's Gnome Shell support is solid. It was just added to 11.10's official repos, so that says something [15:24] I think I'll venture over to the +1 room though [15:24] bonjour [15:25] I've 11.10 on ,y laptop, runs well, just like every other release I've thown at it [15:25] jebula: did you try purging and reinstalling alsa? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1316634 [15:25] *2009 post [15:25] jkbrntot, several times.

[15:48] jebula: wait try this first in terminal, it's supposed to display your sound card if it's detected properly by the system [15:48] MoonTiger, now am using windows, i'd have to switch to ubuntu to try it again [15:48] $ sudo aplay -l [15:48] Goliath: It will place nameserver IP(s) at top of list in your /etc/resolv.conf file. [15:49] jkbrntot: cat /proc/asound/devices? [15:49] viruxINf3ct3d: if you run: lsusb there will be an 8 character hex ID you can use to find guides [15:49] Goliath: (Your system will use the one at the top of the list first.) [15:49] is unity based on gtk2 and gnome3 based on gtk3? [15:49] jebula: sudo aplay -l [15:49] usr13: so only the one on top is used? [15:49] td123: yes [15:49] Goliath: ... so make sure the one at the top of the list is a valid nameserver. [15:49] jkbrntot, none found [15:49] Goliath: Yes [15:49] viruxINf3ct3d: what is the ID? [15:50] does ubuntu plan on developing unity or support a gnome3 version of ubuntu? [15:50] Can anyone help ? === _ is now known as Guest88998 [15:50] viruxINf3ct3d, cant help you if ur not running ubuntu rightnow ;) [15:50] Goliath: Only the one at the top of the list is used, UNLESS, dhclient times out waiting for response. In which case it will try the next one. etc. === Guest88998 is now known as mnaines [15:51] Does Ubuntu support Radeon HD video cards? [15:51] mnaines, mine does [15:51] usr13: i did supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; instead [15:51] of prepend [15:51] td123, i think the plan is on focusing on Unity [15:51] usr13: i have read it in a guide [15:51] REK_007: how are you trying to mount the partition (you can't mount drives) [15:51] Goliath: Ok, well, try it and see. [15:51] theres tut am following, it ask to install gnome-ppp, after i did and follow the instruction but the terminal jst did not show up [15:51] MoonTiger, I keep hearing that the graphics become slow and laggy with ATi...At least that's what the reviews said for the drivers on Ubuntu 11.04 === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [15:52] mnaines, what card do you have? [15:52] how do i disable the screen blanking in server 9.10? [15:52] ActionParsnip: I used storage device manager to automount the partition but suddenly from yesterday it doesnt load on start up [15:52] I currently have the GeForce 210 but I want to upgrade to a Radeon HD 5670 [15:52] Goliath: but if you are using 127.0.0.1, you will find that it is already there. [15:52] IPNixon: karmic support is dead [15:52] Goliath: Or it should be. [15:52] mnaines, i have the hd3650 or something (thinkpad t500) and no lag [15:53] hi, anyone know how to get the effect library on pitivi working on ubuntu? [15:53] IPNixon, theres a stty command/setting i recall to disable bpanking on the console. [15:53] ActionParsnip: And now it doesn't allow to mount the drive without root privileges [15:53] usr13: shouldnt i change also dhcp/dhclient.conf? [15:53] or only dhcp3 [15:53] REK_007: what groups are you in? [15:53] By the way, MoonTiger, is the 512MB version of the Radeon HD 5670 overkill for games like IMVU, WoW, or Urban Terror when played on Ubuntu? [15:53] mnaines, why not try it with a live boot? [15:53] Goliath: I think you can also take out "domain-name-servers" from the request line, and just put what you want in /etc/resolv.conf and be done with it. [15:53] ActionParsnip: How to check that ? [15:53] REK_007: run: groups === ruben is now known as rubenjr [15:53] mnaines, you can never have too much vram ;) [15:54] redhat is dead? [15:54] can you scale down the size of the icons in 11.04 on the left bar? [15:54] wonka_: not at all [15:54] jebula: what happens if you type "amixer" in the terminal [15:54] MoonTiger, which matters more for OpenGL and Ubuntu, video memory amount or clock speeds? [15:54] I happy to hear it [15:54] Goliath: The file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file is what we were talking about. Right? [15:54] usr13: yes but resolv/conf gets overwritten [15:54] usr13: yes [15:54] ActionParsnip: rohan adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [15:54] zerium1, yes. vya the unity plugin in the CCSM tool [15:54] !ccsm | zerium1 [15:54] zerium1: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [15:54] jkbrntot: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory [15:54] usr13: also exist one colled /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf which is similar [15:54] to what you said [15:55] called [15:55] mnaines, i would say vram ... if the caches have to be flushed to fit big texture maps performance will die [15:55] Thanks, MoonTiger [15:55] REK_007: looks like mine, should be ok [15:55] Goliath: You are correct. /etc/resolv.conf gets nameserver IP(s) from your router during DHCP request. [15:55] moin [15:55] REK_007: it it on a USB storage? [15:55] jebula: try sudo apt-get install alsa-utils [15:55] ActionParsnip: I have 2 partitions on 2 different Hard drives with the same mount point :/ [15:55] usr13: so which of the 2 should i modify? [15:55] Hello! How can I disable the automatic startup of the GUI with Ubuntu? [15:55] jkbrntot, i have done that several times as well [15:56] REK_007: are you using RAID? [15:56] alsa-utils is installed already? [15:56] jebula [15:56] jkbrntot yup [15:56] ActionParsnip: sda1 and sdb5 have the same name and mount point but in reality sda1 is windows drive and sdb5 is the dump drive [15:56] Goliath: And as I have already said, the best thing to do is go into the router's config and insert valid nameserver IP(s) so that it no longer gives out bogus IP info. [15:56] ActionParsnip: no man normal setup [15:56] REK_007: 2 partitions on one mount point doesn't sound good [15:56] jebula: what about alsa-base? [15:57] jkbrntot, already installed [15:57] also purged and reinstaleld it [15:57] mosmo, on a desktop? [15:57] !text [15:57] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [15:57] or that [15:57] :) [15:57] ActionParsnip: I dont it how it got configured but I can use the partitions separately . And both are shown with different names on the file browser . [15:57] for some reason my laptop wont let me install ubuntu or any other distro. but to make sure i put in a windows xp cd in it and it worked fine. when i put any linux distro it brings me to a login screen and doesnt let me install [15:57] jebula, what is displayed if you type apt-get install alsa-utils now? [15:57] [16:57] mosmo, on a desktop? [15:57] Yes [15:58] rubenjr, is it a company laptop? [15:58] rubenjr, sounds like bad cd burns, or bad isos - you could verfy theiso and put it on a usb. [15:58] ActionParsnip: but on the storage device manager i see that peculiar thing about them sharing same name and mount point [15:58] jkbrntot, already installed [15:58] MoonTiger: yes a dell [15:58] dr_willis: i tried a usb also same thing [15:58] rubenjr, u sure they havent locked it down? [15:59] rubenjr, whats the prompt exactly? does the live-usb even boot? [15:59] MoonTiger: well i mean if they did is there anything i could about it? maybe flash the bios with a different one? [15:59] rubenjr, very risky [15:59] rubenjr, this is a laptop you bought FROM dell? or what exactly? [15:59] dr_willis: it goes like as if its about tot ake me to the livecd but then asks me to login [16:00] rubenjr, if they have locked it down u prolly cant flash a new bios ... even if you could they would know and u prolly couldnt access the company network [16:00] dr_willis: its a dell but i got it for free [16:00] rubenjr, i would make a live usb boot and work with that [16:00] rubenjr, ahhhhhh its ur now? [16:00] MoonTiger: it wont let me get that far [16:00] rubenjr, could be a video card issue. You could try the 'nomodeset' option, or try the alt-installer cd. [16:00] jebula: see if you have the following apt installed: libao-common, libmikmod2, libao4, linux-sound-base, libsox-fmt-alsa, libasound2-plugins, libsox1b [16:00] dr_willis: It was not related to saved session, as it happens on a newly created user as well. Nor did reinstall of every package *nautilus* package help [16:00] rubenjr, what exact model is it? [16:01] MoonTiger: dell inspiron 1100 [16:01] sveinse, bummer... [16:01] MoonTiger: yes its mine [16:01] dr_willis: i will try that [16:01] @dr_willis: I can't seem to enter the GRUB settings on boot, neither with pressing shift nor ESC [16:01] Is there another way? [16:01] Does meld work on your machines? [16:01] rubenjr, thats an old assed laptop no? [16:01] jkbrntot, ok? [16:02] MoonTiger: yes haha [16:02] mosmo, maybe boot into it and set the manual log on ... then reboot and change the default session to console ... then reboot [16:02] MoonTiger: but as far as i know ubuntu works great with older models [16:02] jebula it's all installed? [16:02] jkbrntot, yes [16:02] hi guys, If I have 2 activities 1 is using service and is starting other activity [16:03] rubenjr, i would think the usb ports are 1.1 and the cd drive prolly cannot read the discs you are using [16:03] shall I close the connection to the service before I launch new one ? [16:03] the xp disk will work as its a prpoerly copied mass produced disk [16:03] MoonTiger: the cd drive is a dvd rom [16:03] jebula: did you just install some right now, or they were already existing on your system? [16:03] so... burn a new disk and burn it at 1 or 2 times speed [16:03] jkbrntot, some were installed after running apt-get [16:04] dr_willis: what do u mean the alt installer? [16:04] mosmo, ive had quirky desktop systems taht grub would not properly work with a USB keyboard. but would with a PS2 keyvoard.. there a legacy-usb setting the bios that might fix that. [16:04] rubenjr, it *is* set to boot from dvd yes? [16:04] !alternative [16:04] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [16:04] MoonTiger: yes i direct it through the boot menu [16:04] rubenjr, ok just checkin [16:04] dr_willis, I'm trying to manually edit the grub.cfg with nano now [16:04] Is this a bad idea? [16:04] doesnt ubuntu use grub2? [16:04] MoonTiger: it takes a longtime to read and then takes me to a login screen [16:05] mosmo, thats one way.. not a great way.. but a way [16:05] MoonTiger, latest releases default to grub2 yes === Juo_ is now known as Juo [16:05] so manually editing the grub.cfg isnt smart as it will get overwritten next time something updates it [16:05] Can anyone with an updated natty system test if meld is working, please? [16:05] [17:05] mosmo, thats one way.. not a great way.. but a way [16:06] Okay [16:06] Do I need to append the "text" after the line beginning with "initrd"? [16:06] Or the one with "linux" [16:06] mosmo .... you will have to edit one of the /etc/grub.d/files [16:06] i think it's 10 or 20 === Knukles is now known as Knukles[absent] [16:06] MoonTiget, already in the file [16:06] that will contain the lines you need to edit [16:06] anyone know which option in compiz it is to scale the left side launcher bar thing? [16:06] then do grub-mkconfig [16:07] and it will check the file [16:07] Okay, thanks [16:07] any recommendations on the install? [16:07] then you can do "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [16:07] mosmo, replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' [16:07] rubenjr, very odd .... so no usb boot works (too old) and cant boot from dvd ... is it external dvd? [16:08] [17:07] mosmo, replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' [16:08] mosmo, the proper way is edit the /etc/default/grub then rerun update-grub [16:08] Okay, thanks [16:08] MoonTiger: no internal [16:08] jebula: try rebooting now (to be sure) and see if your sound card is detected... [16:08] MoonTiger: but it is a dvd rom [16:08] MoonTiger: booting off the usb works the same as the cd [16:08] rubenjr, can it read the ubuntu dvd from windows? [16:08] MoonTiger: yes it detects it [16:08] dr_willis, I see, thanks - I'm trying if it works and then I'll do it the proper way [16:08] and sees the files? [16:08] MoonTiger: lets me go in and view all the files on the dvd [16:09] ok [16:09] wierd [16:09] @rubenjr I had issues booting from a DVD-ROM on a dell laptop as well. I ended up using a different DVD-ROM and my problem was resolved. [16:09] rubenjr, hmmmmmm i wonder if they have flashed a custom bios .... can u update the bios from windows? [16:09] is there a way to put a python script in the unity launch bar? [16:09] Kravilanth: what happens if this is the only dvd rom i have [16:09] MoonTiger: i will try that [16:10] MoonTiger: wait i forgot i fomated the hard drive already [16:10] MoonTiger: should i put xp and try to flash the bios? [16:10] rubenjr, i have never heard of companies doing custom bios builds but im riunning out of ideas why you have this problem [16:10] rubenjr, so blank hdd and no OS right? [16:10] MoonTiger: im not sure either cause i mean like i can try the usb but it does the same thing. [16:11] MoonTiger: i had xp on it 20 monites ago but i formatted it and even with xp on it it did the same thing [16:11] rubenjr, exactly what happens when it boots from usb / dvd? [16:11] MoonTiger: exactly the same thing [16:11] what login does it take you to? [16:11] MoonTiger: takes just as long and brings me to the same login screen [16:11] MoonTiger: and i know its not the cd cause i tried it on my sisters computer ad it worked fine [16:11] this is the BASH Login screen? [16:12] rubenjr, it isnt set to boot from the network is it? [16:12] take hd out. put in usb enclosuer, install to it from a differnt pc. replace it in problem pc. :) as a work around [16:12] dr_willis, good call [16:12] dr_willis, Stuff went wrong apparently [16:12] wait what [16:12] After booting and entering GRUB, the screen remains black [16:13] This isn't a huge problem it's a fresh install anyways [16:13] Do you know any way out maybe? [16:13] dr_willis: how do i install it form another pc? [16:13] meld fails because "import gtk" fails. py complains about "_gtk" missing from /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py. But I cannot find that this file belongs to any package! (I'm hoping I'm wrong) [16:13] mosmo, sounds like a problem to me :) [16:13] rubenjr, plug hd into other pc.. boot cd/whatever [16:13] The monitor means: ANALOG OUT OF RANGE 92 khz / 58 hz [16:13] can i change the archive manager to automatically extract an archive instead of opening? [16:13] rubenjr, what login screen do you get to after boot? im curious [16:13] dr_willis: its a laptop though [16:13] mosmo, that means grub is sending info that the monitor cant handle. [16:13] rubenjr, thats why i mentiooned a usb enclosuer... [16:14] any ideas on why the exit status of mountpoint would be wrong? [16:14] I'll boot it up with the live USB and fix the GRUB file [16:14] mosmo, i have to tell grub to use a 640x480 res screen here for this monitor.. heres my grub.cfg [16:14] MoonTiger: the normal login screen except the name is ubuntu and i tried t login as ubuntu and enter as password it brings me to the same login screen again [16:14] mosmo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/629869/ [16:14] dr_willis: what do u mean by a usb enclosure? [16:15] rubenjr, a box you put a hard drive in, that ciovnerts it into a USB hard drive [16:15] Thank you [16:15] rubenjr, wait what? i thought you said u cant install anything? [16:15] MoonTiger: i cant it doesnt even let me boot up to the live cd. but it lets me install windows xp [16:15] rubenjr, so it IS biooting the ubuntu cd.. and going to the bash prompt. which leads us to either a weird video card, or optical drive issue with reading the cd. [16:15] Evening [16:15] rubenjr, the alternative cd - might work. [16:15] dr_willis: ahh okay and where do i get one of those? [16:16] rubenjr, so you mean the xp login screen? [16:16] rubenjr, the store. or the internetz [16:16] Oh look @ dr_willis [16:16] MoonTiger: no xp works fine it brings me to the ubuntu login screen right before the live cd [16:16] I can still access the PC via SSH [16:16] mosmo, that makes it even easier.... [16:16] rubenjr, i thought you said u wiped the hdd? [16:16] MoonTiger: it is [16:16] Yes [16:17] could not update iceauthority/var/lib/gdm/.iceauthority ---- this is killing me :( [16:17] rubenjr, so wtf login screen are you talking about? [16:17] whats up! I just used Cntr+z to put a process in the background but its stopped.... how can i view all the stopped processes running? [16:17] mosmo, edit /etc/default/grub and uncomment the 640x480 line, uncomment the 'make a sound beep' line also so you can hear it beep so you know it booted if it dosent work. :) and run update-grub [16:17] dr_willis: is there a way to install it with means of no graphics? [16:17] rubenjr, the server edition maybe? [16:17] rubenjr, the alt-cd is a text based installer.. it dosent need a fancy gfx card. [16:17] ahhhhhh or that [16:18] dr_willis: do u know where i can download the alt cd? [16:18] Anyone here with knowledge to the python modules in natty? [16:18] Interesting, highly interesting @ dr_willis [16:18] !download [16:18] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Natty, and help keeping the servers' load low! [16:18] I had to start XFCE4 over SSH [16:18] And now the monitor displays again [16:18] Apparently my monitor doesn't accept text mode [16:18] ok gotta go ... good luck rubenjr :) [16:18] Do you have an idea why? [16:18] MoonTiger: thanks =] [16:18] when installing postfix, what happens if your hostname -f is set to something that will only be transferred later on? will nothing work? [16:18] Hi all, I am trying to set permissions on my web server and having a few issues. If I type groups to see my group membership I do not see the www-data group which owns my www directory, but if I type members www-data, my username shows in the group. Any suggestions? [16:19] mosmo, sounds like the framebuffer/plymouth stuff is causing problems once again. [16:19] please help me [16:19] I see, that doesn't tell me much though, not an expert xD [16:19] mosmo, enable the text menu for grub. and remove the 'quiet splash' words in the /etc/default/grub [16:19] I'm using Xubuntu, just by the way [16:19] meld is trying to import gtk, and it tries /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/cairo/__init__.py, while the python-gtk2 package locates the file at /usr/share/pyshared/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py . I'm confused why it behaves this way. Remnants of maverick perhaps? [16:19] Do I enable the text menu just by removing quiet splash? [16:19] plymouth causes more problems then its worth [16:20] And what exactly is plymouth [16:20] theres a line in the /etc/default/grub that enables the text grub menu.. check the file [16:20] !plymouth [16:20] Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [16:20] I see, okay [16:20] could not update iceauthority/var/something/.iceauthority ---help [16:20] Plymouth = eyecandy added in to make it look more professional...

[16:31] lolzer, you do realize that gnash is welll.. just not that great. :) [16:31] Python anyone? My system (natty am,d64) has a populated /usr/lib/pymodules/ dir while it seems no package has any files there, yet my python seems to prefer importing from this directory. Instead these pacakges install under /usr/lib/pyshared. I'm really confused, as it worked yesterday [16:33] dr_willis, but i have no other option.. after the upgrade.... there seems to be some serious compatibilty problems// i now even have no support for laptop camera [16:33] seems the pymodules dirs are just links to the pyshared directory of the proper version /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 [16:34] ie: -> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2011-06-12 03:24 ORBit.so -> /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/ORBit.so [16:34] do you have config for linux version 3.0.0-rc3+ ?

[16:36] dinkdink, i just went to the repos and downloaded from there [16:36] lolzer: if yes you will have to drop libgnashplugin.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or put a symbolic link in [16:36] hello [16:37] dr_willis: These two dirs are not in sync on my system. E.g. I cannot find ORBit.so in /usr/lib/pymodules [16:37] I think that is the reason why nautilus is misbehaving as well (since it using python binding) [16:38] dinkdink, what is the symbolic link.. how to do it??

[16:40] dr_willis, I need to specify which application [16:40] coz_, what? [16:41] but if he compiles the latest gnash on his own he will have to link to the plugin in the /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so [16:41] (btw) kill -9 never hesitates when he kills someone [16:41] ASKidwai, ps ax | grep appname and get its pid.. or clairfy what you are doing exactly [16:41] Firefox isn't responding [16:41] I wanna kill it [16:41] killall firefox-bin [16:41] firefox i think has a name thats not 'firefox' :) [16:41] ASKidwai, is firefox opened? in terminal xkill [16:41] xkill and click on a window = one way [16:42] or replace that file with the one in the src file or whatever [16:42] ASKidwai: ps ax | grep firefox [16:42] hi to everyone [16:42] dr_willis: But some content aren't linked, like the ORBit.so example, so something has happened.

[Sorry, if it's not the right place to ask the question.] [17:09] qwerty121_: xammp is not an ubuntu supported application, as it is self conained platform. [17:09] !lamp | qwerty121_ [17:09] qwerty121_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:09] By mistake anyone who program or knows about LWUIT in Java ME?

[17:12] brainsoft: I'm not sure there is recovery from that error :( [17:13] hi there! big beginner to ubuntu. I'm looking to install apache but noticed after installing it via terminal that it can be done via interface. how do I undo "sudo apt-get install apache2" ??? [17:13] hashtags: you can remove apache 2 by the gui [17:13] ikonia: ok is it just as simple as removing the folder? [17:13] hashtags: open the package manager, search for apache2 and hit "remove" or mark for removal, then remove [17:13] ikonia: i cannot see my itunes library on my rythmbox session. itunes sharing is on [17:13] unless from a different repo, ikonia [17:14] hashtags: no, you use the package manager [17:14] RevSpecies116: no, even then you can do it, the package manager manages all repos [17:14] quixotep: is it supposed to support that, I didn't think it could do that [17:15] ikonia: thanks! that helped alot :) [17:15] welcome [17:16] ikonia: oh, i didn't realize that. I am new to ubuntu and all my music is on itunes. any way for rythmbox to play it? any other ubuntu music players compatible with itunes? === th1 is now known as OV5T_th1 [17:16] quixotep: I don't think you can play it from within itunes, [17:18] having a really odd one here, I removed sendmail and installed postfix, then got an error because postfix was still running, so "kill"ed it, and restarted postfix, but now when I do "mailx" I get no errors and nothing gets sent either! any ideas on this? wtf! [17:18] Wonder if Banshee can do it [17:18] how do I determine what timezone my server thinks it lives in? [17:18] and how do I determine whether the server thinks the internal clock is set to GMT or not? [17:18] it seems like this server thinks it's on GTM, which would suggest that the internal clock is in fact set to GMT but the system timezone hasn't been set yet [17:19] although, to be truthful i don't actually know the physical location of the server [17:19] quixotep: unfortunately, apple has ensured that other players won't connect to an itunes daap export. you can copy your music folder to a linux box, or simply export the volume from the mac via nfs (that might be a bit clunky, though) [17:19] ok, nevermind, it's in texas :) [17:19] so i know that much, now how do I determine A) whether the hardware clock is set to GMT and also B) what timezone the server *thinks* its in [17:20] Seems the DAAP plugin needs to be enabled in Rhythmbox === linuxoid is now known as Metalhead [17:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442460 <-- from 2007 [17:20] ikonia: i read something about DAAP share that is supported by rythmbox and is utilized by itunes. do you know anything about that?\ [17:20] RevSpecies116: even so, it won't connect to an itunes share (post version 7 or so) [17:21] RevSpecies116: there was much chest-beating about the matter at the time :-) [17:21] quixotep: as I said, I didn't think it was possible [17:22] Ahhh, a downgrade to itunes 7 is in order then, quixotep - I'm not sure Steve Jobs would allow that though :( [17:22] yes, good luck finding it if you don't already have it [17:22] ikonia: ok, thanks for your time. I appreciate the help. [17:23] anyone here that have tried the prog cli companion? [17:24] Hi all. [17:24] Anyone here uses Pyroom? [17:24] I get a "segmentation fault" error when I try to run it for some reason. [17:24] if you burned out your sound card on your motherboard, could you mess up other things like acpi for example [17:25] boldfilter: how exactly did you burn out your sound card? [17:25] well, it cuts out and in, and then i have macosx and it relies heavily on acpi, and my acpi sceen dosnt show when i boot [17:26] join #ubuntu-za [17:26] MadRobot: did you get it via ppa? [17:27] intel g33 chipset [17:27] ActionParsnip: No. I got the tarball. [17:27] MadRobot: the package was built only 116 weeks ago (more than 2 years) [17:27] I can't click Apply after marking apache2.2-common for Complete Removal, any ideas? [17:27] ActionParsnip: I know. [17:27] hashtags: this is why the cli is usually best. use apt-get remove --purge [17:27] MadRobot: not sure then , are there any bugs reported etc? [17:28] ActionParsnip: No. There doesn't seem to be anything of that sort. [17:28] alright something freaky is going on with my software i just got rick rolled using youtube [17:28] blz: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) I guess I should try rebooting? >< [17:29] ActionParsnip: It used to run flawlessly a couple months ago. [17:29] hashtags, no. you're probably already updating/installing something [17:29] MadRobot: hmm, if you run it from terminal, do you get output (or does it always get ran in terminal) [17:29] hashtags, wait for it to finish or kill the offending process [17:29] ActionParsnip: Noting. I only get "Segmentation fault". [17:29] hashtags, you can only do one thing at a time with your package database [17:30] blz: must be a hickup then, cause I dont have anything going on, will try to find the process [17:30] ActionParsnip: If I try to open it from the GUI, I get "Could not open /usr/bin/pyroom". [17:31] hashtags, I see. yet another reason to stick to the cli. It's probably a leftover lock from an earlier time you used the grahpical package manager. you can go ahead and do a soft reboot [17:31] blz: all my processes are sleeping except for the system monitor so I will indeed try a reboot, thanks brb :) [17:31] hashtags, np. see you in a few === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a [17:34] ActionParsnip: It's really sad that they abandonded it.

[17:37] as its enabled and everything [17:37] I [17:38] mine is a dark grey here. :) but it may depend on the theme you pick [17:38] I've been looking but haven't been able to find it. Is there a way to get regular vertical scroll bars back instead of the weird floating updown thing that you can grab with your mouse? [17:38] i tried different themes but nothing [17:39] its weird coz when i rebooted it goes black but then changes to white again :( [17:40] cannonball: think that new scrollbar comes with some packages .. look for overlay-scrollbar and liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0 [17:42] hi [17:42] the VPN connection *** failed because the VPN service failed to start..

It works perfectly for Thunderbird and Opera, however when I open Pidgin, it has all my accounts added, but for some reason it says it's waiting for a network connection. Any ideas how I can debug this? [17:57] hello there [17:57] the sshfs commands may have some 'verbose output' options [17:58] duckx0r, if you are not using the sshfs then pidgin connects quickly? [17:58] any tricks that makes ubuntu super fast [17:58] dr_willis, yes. [17:58] pidgin may have some verbose outpuit if ran from a terminal options also. [17:59] I never use pidgin. [17:59] dr_willis, i'll try that [17:59] 'run from a terminal look at output' - trouble shooting tool #1 :) [17:59] pidgin kicks ass [17:59] Im anti-social networking. [18:00] duckx0r: not used it using shared folder via ssh, could always use X forwarding and just run pidgin in the remote terminal [18:00] i'm looking for the equivalent of AppData folder (windows) in ubuntu ? for instance i'd like to know where is my mumble folder datas [18:00] The whole 'social-connected-desktop' thing seems to be getting downlplayed now. :) [18:00] duckx0r: could also use something like dropbox to sync settings between systems, may be better [18:01] exit [18:01] shp, the apps could put them anywhere.. most likely one of the various .XXXX dirs in your home. try somthing like ' ls -R | grep mumble' [18:01] oh wait a -a may be needed... [18:01] ActionParsnip, X forwarding will be my second option I think [18:01] ls -aR | grep mumble [18:02] dr_willis, [18:02] shp@ubuntu:~$ ls -a -R | grep mumble [18:02] .mumble.sqlite [18:02] !info mumble [18:02] mumble (source: mumble): Low latency VoIP client.

[18:05] ntr0py, compiz is standard in ubuntu for the last 4+ releases i think. [18:05] ntr0py, its included in Natty. [18:05] ntr0py, you need your 3d drivers working properly first. [18:06] isn't there a way to share Application Datas with Windows and Ubuntu? [18:06] Yes but its very unstable in Natty... I cant use Compiz control center because it always crashes... [18:06] shp, it would depend on the app. ive done so with xchat in the past. [18:06] i created symbolic links but developpers renamed mumble.sqlite into .mumble.sqlite so it does not match [18:06] ntr0py, ive had more issues with Unity then i have compiz. there are some guides on using the older compiz in natty.

[18:18] penlat_, i cant even see where thats at heh... [18:18] does anyone have the updated(maverick) ambiance/radiance themes in lucid? the repositories went dead [18:19] dr_willis on the left hand side [18:19] ls [18:19] classico, sharing 1 swap between all installs is a good idea, FYI sharing a home directory might not work out (due to different versions of the same software) YMMV [18:19] no luck for utc clock please help [18:19] how to add utc clock to panel? [18:19] classico: only linux on that netbook? then use all logical drives, 1 swap, 3 linux-/ and 1 big data-partition to be shared [18:19] sipior, Ok, I'll try it [18:20] penlat_, no hulu there by default. :) i had to add it via the menus [18:20] dosent like flash. so thats a fail it seems [18:20] dr_willis, its there on mine by default [18:21] i just installed miro 2 min ago. wasent there for me. [18:21] hey whats the name of that quick launch app for ubuntu where I start typing the program name and it auto completes it and executes it ? [18:22] robot_jesus, are you thinking of gnome-do? (MONO alert!) [18:22] penlat_, inetersting message in the terminal --> ERROR: Invalid browser function table. Some functionality may be restricted. [18:22] synapse also does that robot_jesus [18:22] hello guys! Need help on a quick question [18:22] is calibre a redundant program? [18:22] related to installing ubuntu on dual boot [18:22] !info calibre [18:22] calibre (source: calibre): e-book converter and library management. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.7.44+dfsg-1build1 (natty), package size 9311 kB, installed size 34012 kB [18:23] dr_willis, i guess it wont work then [18:23] ubuntu-offtopic [18:23] what i mean is that synaptic states it as needing autoremove [18:24] penlat_, it may be possible to put the flash plugin in some .miro dir. i was thinking it was based on firefox.. or am i thinking of 'songbird' or perhaps both are... [18:24] I have Windows 7 installed on my Laptop and there are 3 partitions: SDA 1 some recovery partition of 15 gb; SDA 2 Win 7 loader 105 mb and SDA 3 main partition of 480+ gb [18:24] can I just change the size of SDA 3 during the installation? [18:24] withotu losing any data? [18:25] penlat_, http://askubuntu.com/search?q=miro+flash dosent look good. [18:25] dr_willis, hmmm, i have to find what folder to put plugin [18:25] go7enks: theoretically yes, in practive you always need backups. and you need to create an extended partition [18:25] @go7enks:i think no [18:25] go7enks: resizing a partition without backups is always risky [18:26] well I backed up, actually, there's nothing on my laptop that I might use and I created a recovery disk [18:26] then go for it :) [18:26] would it be less risky if I did it via Win 7 partition manager? [18:26] or it's the same? [18:26] you can also, if you want, get the latest gparted live cd, and resize partitions with that [18:26] same risk basically [18:26] i have this problem with locales: http://pastebin.com/aMY9pGZG how can i fix it? [18:27] gparted works wonders on resizing ntfs [18:27] Use partitionmanager [18:27] and I'd rather use a live cd which isn't running off that partition you are resizing. [18:27] so gparted is basically my safest choice [18:27] g0rd0n: tried dpkg-reconfigure locales? [18:27] via gparted live cd or usb [18:28] right [18:28] ? [18:28] imho yes [18:28] wols_: read the paste... thats the response to the command [18:28] i dont even get the possibility to change the locales [18:28] just get those errors and thrown back to console [18:28] ok, i'll try that, if I have other questions I'll come back :p [18:28] thanks [18:28] I find windows 7 resizes ntfs faster then gparted does.. but that dosent do much good if you dont have windows7 :) [18:29] g0rd0n: set every LC variable to "C" [18:29] e.g. export LANG=C [18:29] then try again [18:29] wols_: now i dont get those errors anymore, but nothing happens... i press enter and i am back to console prompt [18:30] hi, is there a svn command to find the url of the svn repo for the local working copy? [18:30] dr_willis: I don't care about speed. I care about my data and the time needed to restore if it goes tits up. so I rather use a PE or live cd to mangle it than run from the partition I am mangling [18:30] untu [18:30] g0rd0n: you need to read more carefully: there is no error === tomacco is now known as dlublink [18:31] wols_: but how do i install new locales then? i thought dpkg-reconfigure locales was the way to go [18:31] !locale [18:31] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [18:31] I normally remove locals :) [18:31] ok so I make 1 primary partition for swap, then one extended partition with all my linuxes (each one in a logical partition), and one big primary data partition (ext4?) [18:31] g0rd0n: it normally is. what is your debconf setting? [18:31] classico, they can all be logicals in an extended if you wanted to [18:32] does anyone know of a great eq with a nice gui? I'm trying to jam some sick bassnectar and I want to be able to mix my subs in and have a graphical gui eq [18:32] sorry guys, another question. if I'm installing ubuntu via live cd, having booted with it, it's safe to resize directly during installation? or it's the same thing we were discussing before? [18:32] classico: multiple.. linuxes.. ? [18:32] * dr_willis reads eiriksvin 's question 3 times to figure out what hes asking for,,, [18:33] go7enks: it uses the same programs as gparted, yes [18:33] !dj [18:33] oh the logical think does not change the performances? [18:33] classico: no [18:33] go7enks, it's never "safe" to modify partitions... do backup [18:33] think=thing [18:33] classico, it shouldent. [18:33] classico: if memory serves you can have up to 4 primary partitions [18:33] ok thanks guys [18:33] I need a gui eq so I can change my bass/mid/treble [18:34] 4 primary max. ONE of which can be a Extended.. holding a large # of logicals [18:34] classico: there is no practical difference between logical/primary [18:34] i spent hours yesterday researching that stuff [18:34] especially in the ubuntu documentation, haven't found what you just said [18:34] eiriksvin, ive seen Pulse Audio Sound Equilizers. but it was some unofficial app. not in the default repos. I must have seen it mentioned once at the omgubuntu, or webupd8 web site. [18:35] is it easy to update the ubuntu documentation or to just add a note or something? [18:35] eiriksvin: i think alsa does that [18:35] After upgrading to Natty, I noticed in my terminal (bash) that spaces (and special characters) are not being escaped. DAE have this problem? [18:35] To clarify, I mean when Tabbing to autocomplete a filename.

[18:50] chalcedony: if you can get a look at the system i would check the kernel, see if there is more than one [18:50] dinkdink: afaik, there hasn't been a kernel update for Natty yet [18:51] dinkdink, it usually gives me a list, command hit enter ...

[19:39] RusAlex: this is not really checking but if its between 1 and 8 years old its probably usb 2.0 [19:39] thanks ActionParsnip [19:39] I can't seem to install a wine theme, it just doesn't work. I get the correct theme file, click to install it, but it's not showing up in the dropdown menu. Any suggestions?

[19:43] RusAlex, I believe the 3.0 usb connectors are blue if you look into them. [19:43] Jaunty is dead [19:44] platius: i don't have any 3.0 usbs [19:44] RusAlex how old is this laptop. [19:44] RusAlex, the connectors on the laptop are blue inside [19:44] or was it a custom install [19:44] build* [19:45] platius: are you an artist ? [19:45] i don't believe in colors [19:46] Strange belief [19:46] RusAlex: Have you tried simply plugging in an SD card reader or something and copying the file to your desktop - try it on all 3 ports and see which give syou the fastest speed? [19:46] Spodey: thanks, but i want to do it without checking read and write speed [19:46] Where can I find the file containing old network interface mac addresses to remove them so new network interfaces are not so hi? (i want to simplify some network scripts across machines) [19:47] Hi, i want to do some screen recording (also voice). Could anybody recommend me some recording software? thanks [19:47] RusAlex: got a manual? [19:47] TheRedOctober: ...what are you talking about? :-) [19:47] RusAlex: Well, that would be the quickest way of doing it. Unless you are doing this for academic reasons? [19:47] Physically, those ports could be wired to anything. And in fact, the USB 2.0 might be internal only [19:47] TheRedOctober:do you mean /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules? [19:47] Can somebody please quickly explain to me how to change scrolling speed? (Ubuntu 11.04) [19:47] Afancy: cheese maybe [19:48] Hey all, I just installed TightVNC on Ubuntu 10.4LTS.

[19:48] TheRedOctober: A MAC address is 12 hexadecimal digits that's bound to an interface. [19:48] RusAlex try asking lsusb to be verbose [19:49] thanks guys. will try to check with bluray movie [19:49] RA_drc: For X, "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg", and for GTK it depends on which enviroment you want. [19:49] Can somebody tell me how to change scroll sensitivity/rate on Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop x64? Settings > Mouse doesn't have any interface regarding this. [19:49] Are the jaunty repositories still mirrored anywhere publicly, or are they gone? [19:49] RusAlex: unless you are copying huge amounts of data at a time, it won't make a huge amount of realtime difference [19:49] pipegeek: medibuntu has jaunty repos [19:50] BlouBlou: i tried running make gconfig and make xconfig and they both gave me errors, they said they can't find gtk+ or qt3, respectively [19:50] Corey: try a vm with 6 nics, cloning the VMs a few times over, you get to ethXX...i would like to add some logic to my nics, keep them all eth0-5 [19:50] @ActionParsnip therefor copying Blu-Ray [19:50] Galvatron: how do i know which environment i went? === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [19:50] pipegeek: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com [19:50] ActionParsnip: not record by webcam [19:50] pipegeek: gone gone. 3rd party ppas may have jaunty stuff.

[20:00] i used wine [20:00] hi... need some help with starting an app during boot [20:00] shp: We do not support how applications run under wine in here, please ask in #winehq [20:00] !boot | maverikh [20:00] maverikh: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [20:00] My ubuntu natty now freezes at mid boot [20:01] hi maverikhmay the links ubottu gave you helps to install apps and start them in needed runlevel [20:01] hi maverikh may the links ubottu gave you helps to install apps and start them in needed runlevel [20:01] Right after the msg failed to get i915 symbols... [20:01] !runlevels | ortsvorsteher [20:01] ortsvorsteher: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [20:02] Anyone could helo me with this? [20:02] Thx [20:03] thx Pici , but maverikh was asking so i gave him !boot links from ubottu. i think that is what he is searching for. [20:03] I just made firefox visible in all desktops, how do I undo this? [20:03] ive actually read all those, im a noob basically... i have a program that installs its own postgre database within its folder. when i first install the app it works fine. if the server reboots itself the program stops working [20:03] the only way to fix it is to re-install app [20:04] maverikh, is there any start/stop script which you became with the install of this app? [20:04] yes, a start stop and restart [20:04] Ummm....any solution for extremly choppy audio/video? [20:05] not sure what's going on any more. when I play an avi in xine maximized, the window moves up and to the left pixel by pixel, and then shudders to a halt. If I'm quick enough to kill it and try vlc, I can play for a minute or two before my hd starts spinning like mad and my whole system slows to a crawl. I mean crawl. If I alt-ctrl-f1 it takes about 5 minutes to get a login prompt. another 5 to 10 before I get a bash prompt. ther [20:05] e's nothing listed in dmesg when this happens. no other programs give me issues. I have an nvidia 6800gtoc and I'm using the recommended driver (dual head config) [20:05] can you get a list of available kernel modules? I want to find one for my wireless card [20:05] Re [20:05] i added it to my rc.local but it didnt work, im not sure if i added it right.

I tried purge and then install again but the config files dont come back [20:06] lafon, what video card? [20:07] hmmm ok [20:07] let me try it [20:07] sure === someone is now known as Guest85274 [20:07] basic integrated intel chipset [20:07] lafon, are you having the same xine and vlc issues, or just choppy video? === Tananar is now known as Tananar|busy [20:08] i used totem [20:08] hi all [20:08] does this line of code look ok? su brent -c "/media/employees/brent/TimeTrex/start" [20:08] and any games have same problem [20:08] anything change between 8.04 and 10.04 as far as encrypted partitions go? === user_ is now known as Renekton [20:08] 'cept I lose all control and HAVE to restart [20:08] I have a 1TB mirrored array that was encrypted prior to an upgrade and now when I unlock it, well, it just says "unpartitioned" [20:08] I have some trouble with my network interface, it's acting wierd. It's working during short periods. My dmesg is full of "eth0: link up" (but no link down). It use to be working fine. I'm running 11.04 amd64 desktop with a r8169 chipset. [20:08] When I do "tar jcvf archive.tar.bz2 /home/kvarley/Documents" it makes the archive BUT within it there are folders home kvarley, I just want it to put Documents in there. What am I doing wrong? [20:08] no data there [20:09] I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and wanna know if is possible to start wireless connection before fstab... [20:09] 8.04 everything there, do an upgrade to 10.04 and it is now an empty partition [20:09] C4colo: All applications had been upgraded [20:09] llutz, that shows active modules? or installed ones? or just what's in /lib/modules? I mean can i see a list of modules from ubuntu servers that i can install? [20:09] so a new version of encryption will not decrypt when given the same passphrase? [20:09] I just made firefox visible in all desktops, how do I undo this? [20:09] clix: it show modules available, used modules to list "lsmod" [20:09] should that not be disclosed during the upgrade process? [20:09] kvarley, I'm not even a newbie but it sounds like yoy are compressing your home folder to the archive [20:10] hi all [20:10] rather than opening it [20:10] do I need to find an 8.04 disc and install a system just to recover my data? [20:10] i'm trying to make a usb drive with the latest install on it to install on my netbook [20:10] i'm using a mac [20:10] ok, so I have some 80211 modules in kernel/net/wireless how do i install new ones? [20:11] the mac will read the usb drive i've made, the windows netbook will say i need to format it and it will not boot from the usb key. [20:11] did you make the usb bootable? [20:11] doesn't say i need to anywhere [20:11] clix: either install packages containing new modules, a new kernel-package or build modules yourself [20:11] did you extraxt the .iso to the usb or use a program? [20:12] lafon: i followed the instructions on the site. they involve converting the iso to an img file and then dd'ing it to the usb drive. [20:12] also, while I'm here, I edited the stupid gconf-editor setting for the button_layout and it did nothing to move the buttons back to where they belong. Is there another user-specific override for that setting? [20:12] llutz, right, so where's the list of packages containing new modules, so i can install the right one? [20:12] hi, anyone experience with dyndns, or a similar service to provide dns serverices? [20:12] I have done that on 20 other systems and it always seems to work, what did I do on my desktop that prevented that setting from moving the buttons [20:12] SockPants: try finding an app that'll do it for you and then see [20:12] clix: what exactly do you miss/need/want? [20:13] i'm wondering whether the instructions only work if you want to actually install ubuntu on a mac, not just any computer. that doesn't seem likely though [20:13] Mbull: i use no-ip [20:13] but more importantly, why the fuck isn't my encryption string decrypting the volume anymore? [20:13] why would i need an app, the instructions are on the official site. [20:13] C4colo: mind your language here [20:13] dunno [20:13] english isn't acceptable?

[20:14] I used the bult-in encrypted volumes tool in 8.04 [20:14] IDLE with Python 3 is crashing on code completion! What should i do? [20:14] and 10.04 [20:14] and they produce very different restults [20:15] if either of those use salt then they should remain consistent [20:15] where does the tmux configuration come from that's included in the new ubuntu AMIs? [20:15] i love it [20:15] I have Ubuntu 11.04 and Firefox 4. To access a site that I need to access, I need to use either Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox 3.6.

Didn't fix the problem. Also, the site seems to require a 32 bit version. My 11.04 and my Firefox is 64 bit [20:17] llutz, ok, will read that - i found some on that forum before using google but didn't understand it - I was hoping for something like install package called xxx then it will work :D === Tananar|busy is now known as Tananar [20:18] Mbull: no issues in 4 years (best guess). Just need to keep refreshing the account with the email they send occasionally [20:18] !find rt3090 [20:18] File rt3090 found in linux-firmware [20:18] ActionParsnip, I'm having a similar issue. if I open xine and maximize it (with and without video loaded) it moves up and to the left pixel by pixel. output method doesn't make a difference. I ran xine in terminal, and there's no output [20:19] sburwood1: there may be a how to on getting 32bit browser on 64bit OS. Otherwise not sure [20:19] All of a sudden I have slow key feature at my gdm login; not any where else. I didn't set that feature that I know of How do I get that feature turned off?

[20:20] Seven_Six_Two: if you use compiz, try without to see if it helps [20:20] ActionParsnip, only xine moves, both xine and vlc eventually freeze my box [20:21] ActionParsnip, ok, I'll try that [20:21] clix:module seems to be available here https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090/+build/1098170/+files/rt3090-dkms_2.1.0.0-0ubuntu0~ppa1_all.deb download it, install with "sudo dpkg -i rt3090-dkms_2.1.0.0-0ubuntu0~ppa1_all.deb" [20:21] Mbull: noip2 runs as a process and does it automagically.

I started a video and then the player quit leaving me with my gui 4x the size it should be [20:22] llutz, I tried to install that before and it said that the package doesn't conform because it has binaries in an architecture independent package, so ubuntu refused to install it [20:22] isn't compiz required for unity? [20:23] Seven_Six_Two: press Alt+F2 and run: metacity --replace [20:23] hi [20:23] Seven_Six_Two: yes, unity will just stop.

[20:29] I'm using Google Chrome in Natty and I have problems with Java on some sites. I'm using the current Java 6-26 version. Any idea what I can do? [20:29] !Ceyda28 mrb [20:29] llutz, will it load by default? should i add that to a config file? [20:29] C4colo, you need the latest ncurses on your computer to do that :=) [20:30] hello everyone, how would i add multiple hosts to my /etc/hosts eg if i want to resolv me.me.com to 192.168.0.10 / me2.me.com to 192.168.0.10 [20:30] haha w30 [20:30] clix: 1st check if it loads and works. if it does, add "rt2860sta" to /etc/modules to make sure it'll be loaded at boottime [20:30] alienmindtrick: googlesearch: natty java hit i'm feeling lucky. Great java ppa [20:30] I am trying to install python but it says to run "su root" However it keeps telling me my password is invalid which I know it isn't [20:31] ActionParsnip, your definition of mature is not the same as the MPAA's I guess. [20:31] Gatekeeper: just add another line [20:31] ActionParsnip: I just looked everywhere for ia32-libs, but didn't find it. Even in Synaptic [20:31] ActionParsnip: did that a couple days ago. same problem. [20:32] Galvatron, I know, my hardware can handle acceleration. [20:32] C4colo: that is moot. Rules are rules and by using the channel you agreed to abide by them [20:32] ActionParsnip: i have the same problem on the same sites in Firefox, too. [20:32] ActionParsnip, a new line with the domain name and ip of the machine or local ip .. ? [20:32] llutz, ok, thanks a lot for your help - i think i am on the right track now :) [20:32] anyway, seems the disk utility doesn't like my fstab entry so it was mounting it at /media/VOLUMELABEL instead of where I told it to, and add that to the fact that the disk manager doesn't know it doesn't know how to read encrypted partition tables it is saying it is unpartitioned [20:32] so it was a red-herring-false-alarm sort of situation going on [20:32] how do i check which partition GRUB is installed to? [20:33] ActionParsnip, get a procreating sense of humor [20:33] Gatekeeper: treat is as a seperate entry. [20:33] ActionParsnip, that didn't go very well. as soon as I hit enter after metacity --replace I lost my panels, window decorations, and the ability to type in any window [20:33] Hello all. If I've completely removed all items from the gnome panels (gnome 2), how do I delete the last, empty panel? I'm using AWN + dockbarx so I've no need for the panels anymore. [20:33] cursing = mature content [20:33] it is a joke, get it? [20:33] you said to keep it "mature" in here [20:33] C4colo: can you stop the offtopic discussion?

[20:34] I'm just trying to get some help and provide a resolution to my disconcerting issue from a few minutes ago ... a little small talk is not unwarranted in these situations [20:34] I am trying to install python but it says to run "su root" However it keeps telling me my password is invalid which I know it isn't [20:34] ManoloMtnez: yes if unanswered it's usually best to post again in a few minutes [20:34] phrostbite: sudo apt-get install python ? [20:34] phrostbite: Python should already be installed by default. [20:34] C4colo: the smalltalk goes in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here [20:34] but this is channel-specific talk [20:35] the subject was breached in this very channel [20:35] ur busy, ActionParsnip. Sorry [20:35] phrostbite: use: sudo -i [20:35] ActionParsnip, a new line with the domain name and ip of the machine or local ip .. ? and to i just do a networking restart to activate changes ... ? [20:35] aeon-ltd: Thanks! [20:35] Which version of python? Shouldn't there be a way to run it? [20:35] second issue: i just did a fresh install of natty a couple days ago and now when i start my machine i have to log in 3 times, every time. what gives and how do i remedy it? [20:35] I came here with a LUKS encryption issue, the participants in this channel forked the topic [20:35] phrostbite: Depends which release of Ubuntu you're using. [20:35] sburwood1, check your repositories in synaptic make sure they're all enable including canonical parthers and other software if you're slightly adventurous [20:35] Ok I need some one to walk me through getting a VNC working on Ubuntu. Ripping my hair out atm... :( [20:35] C4colo: Just re-ask your question then. [20:36] Hi, Somehow my Ubuntu Natty has stopped booting [20:36] I don't need to, I just provided the resolution for anyone concerned [20:36] now it freezes at mid boot, right after the message 'failed to get i915 symbols...' [20:36] Gatekeeper: no need to restart service. Its good to go immediately [20:36] BluesKaj: I am, if I'm not going to crash my machine [20:36] i've googled for that, but workarounds assume that the computer still boots. Which it doesn't [20:36] ;à [20:36] !Ceyda28: wat [20:36] ;) [20:36] Any advice? Thanks!ç [20:36] just tying up some conversational loose-ends related to the channel's policies [20:36] Hanzo: stop the spamming [20:36] how do i check which partition GRUB is installed to? [20:36] C4colo: cool beans. If you want to hang out and answer questions thats fine, otherwise general chat belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere :) [20:36] ManoloMtnez: also in one line to prevent clutter [20:36] sburwood1, no it won;t crash , it's mostly to do with legalities [20:37] aeon-ltd: oh, sorry. I thought long posts were worse [20:37] !repositories > sburwood1 [20:37] sburwood1, please see my private message [20:37] how can discussing #ubuntu be off-topic in #ubuntu? [20:37] how do i check which partition GRUB is installed to? [20:37] Sburwood: weird. Check the deps of wine. I'm sure it exists [20:37] and I mean #ubuntu the channel itself, the one conveying these words to you [20:38] is there a #ubuntu-#ubuntu channel? [20:38] is there more than one method to turn off compiz in 11.04? metacity --replace didn't work out so well for me [20:38] C4colo: If you want to discuss a confusion about the policies of this channel please join me in #ubuntu-ops [20:38] C4colo: this is a support channel, stick to ubuntu support [20:38] Seven_Six_Two: not without killing it then starting another WM [20:38] C4colo: its a support channel only. Discussion of the channel itself is not ubuntu support [20:39] Pici: read my mind [20:39] alright. we'll try kde next [20:39] ActionParsnip: In Synaptic, it mentions 7 things when I type ia32, but I don't see anything that seems to be identified as ia32-libs [20:40] wireless is working, thanks llutz [20:40] hey guys, is there any way to check which partition GRUB is installed to? [20:40] Hello all. If I've completely removed all items from the gnome panels (gnome 2), how do I delete the last, empty panel? I'm using AWN + dockbarx so I've no need for the panels anymore. [20:40] now on to the webcam [20:40] OK, since ActionParsnip left...and he was answering my question...should I assume that I should repost it? [20:40] how do i restart service to activate net /etc/hosts without restarting pc [20:41] sburwood1, did you check the repositories ?...it's ther if you have the correct ones enabled [20:41] Hello, Ubuntu natty has started freezing at mid boot, right after the message "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled". [20:41] I don't know whether this error message is related to whatever is making Ubuntu choke, but maybe it isn't, as it doesn't prevent most to boot (according to Google). Any advise? [20:41] I enabled everything except for Opera beta [20:41] başım dönüyor , çok içmişim!Ceyda28: başım dönüyor , çok içmişim [20:41] ManoloMtnez: Have you tried recovery mode? [20:42] !tr | Hanzo [20:42] Hanzo: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [20:42] Galvatron: yes, that's where I'm seeing the error message [20:42] fizyplankton: isn't grub installed to /boot ? which will be in your / by default [20:43] how do i restart service to activate net /etc/hosts without restarting pc [20:43] I'm using Google Chrome in Natty and I have problems with Java on some sites. I'm using the current Java 6-26 version. Any idea what I can do? [20:43] when performing eg: "apt-get install firefox" --- where does apt-get put the tar.gz files before it makes them? equivelent of c:/windows/temp ? [20:43] nnull: /temp ? [20:43] BluesKaj: I have everything enabled except for Opera beta. That should include what I need, no? [20:44] nnull: Sorry /tmp I meant [20:44] BluesKaj: And I even tried 10.10 and Windows XP in VirtualBox, so I have a real problem [20:44] alienmindtrick: Have you tried Chromium? [20:44] nnull: /var/cache/apt/archives except its .deb and not tar.gz [20:44] sburwood1, everything ? how did opera repository get in there ? [20:45] hmm ManoloMtnez , im assuming apt-get deletes the files after making them then.. which makes sense i suppose.. mmk, thanks. [20:45] Galvatron: wait one and I'll try it === Knukles[absent] is now known as Knukles [20:45] aeon-ltd: yeah. it seem to be in all 3 partitions [20:45] ahh llutz , champion ;) [20:45] nnull: yes, the straight dope is elsewhere :P [20:45] BluesKaj: In other software [20:45] fizyplankton: three different OSes? [20:45] ManoloMtnez: It's hard to find any soution if you don't have an acces to any terminal [20:46] Galvatron: I know! [20:46] fizyplankton: sorry gotta go; good luck [20:46] yeah 2 lucid installs, and one natty install (which i want to unumatall). also, i have a winxp install, but i KNOW that GRUB isnt there [20:46] Galvatron: Should I reinstall? That seems like overkill... [20:46] sburwood1, type ia32 ...see what comes up [20:46] off yaa!Ceyda28: off yaa!Ceyda28: off yaa [20:47] sburwood1, , make sure you click reload on synaptic first [20:47] ManoloMtnez: It might be the fastest way out. [20:48] I can't see anything that looks like a camera in sudo lshw - there is an unclaimed serial device and and unclaimed communication device, could it be one of those? [20:48] Galvatron: OK, thanks. It'll be my third Natty reinstall. Not having luck with this version, no sir. [20:48] clix: try "lsusb" [20:49] i've managed to run the live test version now [20:49] but i can't open firefox [20:49] BluesKaj: I have microcode.ctl, grub-efi-ia32, elilo, grub-efi,refit, libasm0 and libasm0-dev [20:49] i click it, it starts to blink, then it goes back to normal. [20:49] Hi [20:49] ne diyo bunlar ya [20:49] ManoloMtnez: As for Intel , try xorg-edgers and kernel PPA with the latest version of intel-dedicated DRM-next kernel. [20:49] I'm getting ready to re-install my Natty, too. [20:49] ne [20:50] Galvatron: OK, I just installed and tried to use Chromium with Java. Nope. [20:50] Linux kanali [20:50] llutz, two integrated rate matching hubs and two root hubs in lsusb - nothing else. the camera is a built-in one on this laptop, so i'm trying to figure out the model [20:50] sen yaz [20:50] senin mesajin gidiyor onlara... [20:50] alienmindtrick: Forgot that Chrome and Chromium are pretty much the same thing. [20:50] clix: was just a guess since my netbooks camera is usb :) sry cannot help [20:50] Galvatron: Thanks a lot for the advice [20:51] BluesKaj: Did you see what I have? I haven't a clue as to what that is and if it is ia32 [20:51] hi [20:51] but my CD-Rom is physically busted (won't open); for whatever reason my USB installer won't boot. Is there a way to double check the USB installer to make sure it's valid? It looks valid from doing ls on it, but I don't know what I'm looking for. [20:51] whats up [20:51] did u like new website ? [20:51] sburwood1, are actually running a 64bit install ? [20:51] Anyway, if I can't boot my USB drive, can I just run the installer from the old Natty? [20:51] okenobi_, so xine in kde (with effects) doesn't move up and to the left like it does in unity [20:51] yup [20:51] Galvatron: What's frustrating is that when I do the Java version test on the Java website, it says that I'm up to date. [20:51] we give gifts to all people who is posting topics to website [20:51] Odun, This channel is for Ubuntu support only. If you mean to have a private conversation, then you may do so in private. [20:51] BluesKaj: Yup [20:51] HelloWorld123: i just had a similar problem, ended up using unetbootin to make the usb installer and it worked [20:51] okenobi_, sorry, I meant "ok" [20:51] can you help website greece version? [20:52] nice [20:52] we make server international this time we hope big people count [20:52] i know your problem our other gm... [20:52] BluesKaj: At least I think so ... [20:52] i will talk about that on private with u [20:53] jason , kimsin ? [20:53] cancel ? [20:53] how do you change the keyboard layout in 11.04 [20:53] SockPants: tx, installing unetbootin now [20:53] alienmindtrick: You might be best asking in the "chromium-support" channel [20:53] HelloWorld123: hope it helps [20:54] Galvatron: Does that still hold true since it's now proven to be an issue in Chrome, Chromium and Firefox? [20:54] both xine and vlc choke and die under unity, but not kde. where should I start looking for a bug? [20:54] SockPants: System > Preferences > keyboard [20:54] BluesKaj: besides, I need Firefox 3.6. I downloaded a Firefox 3.6. I did tar -jxvf the bz2, but don't know what to do next. [20:54] Galvatron: first off, where is 'System' [20:55] BluesKaj: Besides, I am wondering if the FF 3.6 is 16 bit or 32 bit [20:55] SockPants: ALT+F1 ; RIGHTARROW ; RIGHTARROW ; lol [20:55] SockPants: GNOME or Unity, or something else? [20:56] hey [20:56] Is there a chat room for Firefox support? [20:56] is there a ubuntu version for mobile devices? [20:56] sburwood1, which ubuntu install version ? [20:56] Galvatron: probably unity, it's the latest live version [20:56] alienmindtrick: Are you using IceTea, or Sun java? [20:56] is it unity? or is it unity 3D? [20:56] 2D* [20:56] Why is the purchase section in ubuntu software centre empty for kubuntu users? Can't I buy games because I rather use KDE than gnome? Aren't the buntu [20:56] Hello, I have xubuntu install and I can't use the headset, it doesn't work at all, the speakers work ok, what can I do? [20:56] buntu's the same under the hood? [20:57] SockPants: Then click on the white ubuntu logo in upper left corner and type "keyboard" [20:57] edugonch: maybe stupid question but does the headset have a volume button? [20:57] Galvatron: Sun Java [20:57] BluesKaj: 11.04 Natty. Kernel 2.6.38-8 Gnome 2.32.1 [20:57] Having problem making a menu entry for a shell script... anyone?? Tried two versions in alacarte: /path/script.sh and /bin/sh /path/script.sh... what do I do wrong?? [20:57] Galvatron: ah, nice, got it. where is it actually located though [20:57] i feel like it's a bit of a cheat [20:57] edugonch: maybe it's muted, or else some hidden channel in sound mixer settings is muted? [20:58] alienmindtrick: Try IceTea [20:59] Galvatron: I ditched IceTea in 10.10 because the updates lagged behind the real world so badly. [20:59] SockPants: It's just the Unity being not as intuitive [20:59] llutz, haha - to make the webcam work, just needs to be turned on with the fn+F6, that was easy [20:59] clix: :D [20:59] Galvatron: k === vatts is now known as vatts[off] [21:00] clix: life can be soo easy [21:00] any reason why firefox might refuse to start? live version, 1gb ram, atom n450 [21:00] hi :) [21:00] sburwood1, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ...there's gotta be something missing there [21:00] ubuntu is awesome === ahs3 is now known as ahs3_ [21:00] BluesKaj: What is the adress of pastbin? [21:00] !paste [21:00] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:01] clix: Especially after you make it look and behave just like Mac OS :P [21:01] firefox just refused to start for me too lol i think it was cuz i downloaded the greasemonkey add on which inscripts [21:01] BluesKaj: And how do I list /etc/apt/sources.list? [21:01] SockPants: the latest Ubuntu on Unetbootin is 10.04. I have the 11.04 ISO in my downloads folder. Can/should I set the ISO to 11.04 ? Should I use the HDMedia option? [21:01] alienmindtrick: I would stil recommend trying IceTea. [21:01] i just booted it... assuming stuff like that works === ahs3_ is now known as ahs3 [21:01] Galvatron: Should I uninstall Sun Java first? [21:02] HelloWorld123: the version i downloaded has 11.04 as well (scroll down?) but i had the iso already so i just used the 'iso' option at the bottom instead. [21:02] sburwood1, alt+f2 type /etc/apt/sources.list , then copy and paste the text into pastebin [21:02] i use 10.04 i think thats the militairy version [21:02] alienmindtrick: yes, so you will be sure it's not getting in the way (like removing Flash prior to trying Lightspark/Gnash) [21:02] SockPants: I just installed it, and I also run the package updater for good measure. I swear it doesn't have 11.04, but it does have "Daily Live" [21:02] Galvatron: Will do! [21:03] SockPants: there you go ... I'll just use the ISO that I have. [21:03] HelloWorld123: where did you get it from= [21:03] Second issue: [21:03] I just did a fresh install of natty a couple days ago and now when i start my machine i have to log in 3 times, every time. what gives and how do i remedy it? [21:03] SockPants: I df/l'ed my Unetbootin from the Synaptic Package Manager [21:03] sometimes when my 11.04 system sits idle, it goes to a blank screen but keyboard or mouse actions do not show the login box. [21:03] Being kicked out to the login screen might mean X-server restart [21:04] I can ctrl-alt-F1 and get a terminal to restart system [21:04] alienmindtrick: What is your video card? [21:04] HelloWorld123: ah ok, i'm using it on windows and downloaded it from the website, maybe the one in the repo's is old. it might work anyway with the iso though [21:04] dont see why not [21:04] hey guys how do I install python-software-properties in 11.04? [21:04] tranquilwaters_, the headset is ok with the volume :P [21:04] tauren cause u have it on auto hibernate [21:04] and then what do I do with it? boot it? [21:04] Randytravis: it doesn't always do this though [21:05] edugonch: ok, I just thought I'd ask, that was my problem when my speakers didn't work, alsa muted some hidden channel somewhere XD [21:05] sometimes it gives me a login box, other times it doesn't [21:05] i know my laptop does the same thing tauren [21:05] HelloWorld123: if it's done creating the usb installer it should ask you to reboot and you can boot it [21:05] brb [21:05] SockPants: writing now ... [21:05] don't know what you were planning to use it for [21:05] sw0rdfish: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties; is there some error? [21:05] it's asking! [21:05] SockPants: I'll reboot it [21:05] Randytravis: so do you turn off auto-hibernate to solve it? [21:05] tx [21:05] np [21:06] yes trism, its unsatisfied with the dependency Python being 2.7.1 or whatever [21:06] Well, I have all the alsa channels up [21:06] if i shut my laptop screen it will hybernate and i cant use any keys or mouse or options besides turn it off for 2 mins and restart it but if i dont shut the screen it will go to the blank screen saver [21:06] sw0rdfish: pastebin: apt-cache policy python python-software-properties; [21:06] turn auto hibernate off and keep only the screen saver === __mikem is now known as mmiller235 [21:07] How to save active sesstion in ubuntu with all the programs open, so when i next time start computer, all these programs will start automatically? [21:07] hey guys...do any of you know if Gnome3 is any good? Better than Unity? [21:07] Randytravis: this is a desktop system. power management says Never put to sleep on AC power, put display to sleep after 0:15 [21:07] what type of partition should i install ubuntu on? [21:08] Noelle, ext4 [21:08] hey does anyone know how i can close an individual program in ubuntu 11.04? when things start running very slow [21:08] hiim idk dude [21:08] i was using ctrl+alt f1 [21:08] Noelle, if you don't want Windows to be able to access it, otherwise ext3 [21:08] Randytravis: ok, thanks [21:08] but that shuts down just everything [21:08] c [21:08] and i have to use the command line to get back in and it is basically just a command line restart [21:08] which is not what i want [21:08] monotoko should it be primary or logical [21:09] Noelle, primary [21:09] i feel like i have to hard restart the computer at least once a day [21:09] although I think Linux can run from Logical [21:09] Monotoko: First of all, it's still in development, so you better prepare a separate Ubuntu installation for experimenting with it. It also has a different configuration file format, so it it highly recommended to make a backup of all your configs in home folder. [21:09] maybe since i have a netbook, i just need to be mindful not to run too many programs at once [21:09] Monotoko: you think right [21:09] hey guys [21:09] camille, CTRL+ALT+F7 gets you back into unity after killing processes in CTRL+ALT+F7 === Anonyme60075 is now known as School190P [21:09] i have a uestion [21:09] monotoko if i boot from a ubuntu boot disk will it create the partition for me or do i have to manually do it [21:10] question* [21:10] misa, good tip. will try! [21:10] ummmm I found this; trism python-software-properties is 0.75.10.1 and python is 2.7.1 ..........how ever I just found this [21:10] trism, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/python-software-properties [21:10] I need to set that up I believe [21:10] Noelle, are you installing it alongside Windows? [21:10] camille: if you right click the program icon in the bar on the left you can select 'quit', that basically closes it entirely. [21:10] USB drive wouldn't boot. [21:10] I must have a bad ISO [21:10] any1 here know about using a aircard w/ gnome? [21:10] SockPants, sometimes that won't work [21:10] monotoko no [21:10] trism: can you guide me through it, I just download that and do dpkg on it? [21:10] Noelle, it'll give you an option to just take the entire drive...click that and it will do the rest [21:10] camille: ah. well if i want to kill an individual application i just use terminal [21:11] SockPants, just looking for other options. what i found online was a lot of command line stuff that i don't know how to do quite uet [21:11] monotoko thanks [21:11] sw0rdfish: the reason I wanted policy was not for the version, but for the repos from which the packages come from [21:11] sw0rdfish: pastebin the real output of sudo apt-get install python-software-properties [21:11] my friend just downloaded natty, and says his mouse won't open/launch anything. is there some known issue? [21:11] !info python [21:11] python (source: python-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.7.1-0ubuntu5 (natty), package size 158 kB, installed size 760 kB [21:11] SockPants, that;s the question. when the computer is running deadly slow, how to get to terminal and kill that individual program [21:11] Galvatron: Sorry for the delay. Integrated graphics card. [21:11] Galvatron, I will install it in a VM....see if it works [21:11] SockPants, I guess I need to noodle with the program a bit more. still fairly new [21:11] does any1 know about bus cards in gnome? [21:12] demonboy_: ask your real question [21:12] i mean aircards [21:12] alienmindtrick: Fact. Sorry, I'm a bit sleepy. [21:12] ok i'll pastebin the apt-cache policy on both of them trism :) [21:12] Galvatron: 'S OK, I'm always slow... ;-) [21:12] hey, Ubuntu server, does it have any proprietary software? [21:12] does anyone know of a lock screen similar to an iphone for ubuntu? [21:13] i use a linux distro and it sees the sierra wireless driver when i use command: # usb-devices but idk how to get it to connect [21:13] fortiss: xlock? [21:13] Galvatron: In this case I would even more strongly recommend trinx Xorg-edgers and Drm-next Intel kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [21:13] hi, I need some help; I de-installed english lang via GUI, now I got a lot of "???" [21:13] @camille Do you know how to kill processes in ctrl+alt+f1? [21:13] demonboy_: usually wvdial [21:13] will removing the .Trash folder solve most problems with Trash not emptying via the menu? [21:13] how to get it back via apt-get install? [21:13] or is this a good suggestion? [21:13] alienmindtrick: In this case I would even more strongly recommend trinx Xorg-edgers and Drm-next Intel kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [21:13] misa_, no. all i know is that i do sudo service gdm restart [21:13] misa_, :( [21:13] dougmencken: you cannot deinstall "english lang" (sic) [21:14] thnaks [21:14] !pm > fortiss [21:14] trism: http://pastebin.com/pderTtx0 [21:14] fortiss, please see my private message [21:14] misa_, that was something i figured out through guess and test method [21:14] misa_, i believe there is a better way [21:14] wols_: dougmencken: you cannot deinstall "english lang" (sic) [21:14] misa_, feel free to lead me there [21:14] camille: yes. man ps, man killall [21:14] !ot [21:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

For example, if firefox is slow, press ctrl+alt+f1, log in and type "killall firefox", then ctrl+alt+f7 to get back into unity. You're done. [21:15] will it put it in the drop down menu [21:15] hi all [21:15] !locale [21:15] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [21:16] dougmencken: ^^ [21:16] sw0rdfish: I see, you are on lucid, but are just using the python version from natty, that is probably not the greatest idea [21:16] Galvatron: OK, that was absolutely greek to me.

[21:27] it's a white usb stick, but I am not sure if they have types that don't work. I just remember that mine had a linux support claim on the product website and that it worked right away [21:27] sw0rdfish: yes [21:27] cool [21:27] thanks trism :) [21:27] sw0rdfish: you're welcome [21:27] trism: that python there is there for a reason. just downgrading won't work, since well, downgrading doesn't work and is not supported [21:28] thanks anyhow [21:28] wols_: he has lucid repos, the natty python is there, but it has no repo, that command just reverts to the version for the repos he has [21:29] trism: and besides from this little python problem, mixing different versions is a quick way to disaster. by getting python, his libc6 is now natty too, etc [21:29] Just downloaded ubuntu 11.04, I can't get wireless to work (at all). That's on a WPA network, WPA 2 Enterprise Network (AES), and a open unsecured network. Any ideas on what to try? Plugging in through ethernet works fine. [21:30] FoxWolf: what chip?

[21:41] Galvatron, lol, thats all? [21:41] sw0rdfish: the difference is, the 2nd way breaks your ubuntu real quick and makes ubuntu obsolete. if you want to do it like that fine, but then you don't want to run ubuntu but something like linux from scratch or such [21:42] :o I see.

[21:48] sometimes to grub [21:48] david_, what mist.?..all will be clear if you just ask :) [21:49] sometimes to grub cli [21:49] lafon: that sounds like broken hardware. very broken [21:49] mboard or card? [21:49] please paste a link to any emulator channel, Im using gens/gs [21:49] grub has pretty much nothing to do with videocards, as long as there is a vesa mode to use [21:50] what i mean is that the comp will boot [21:50] get to said stage then restart [21:50] only happens with non-integrated cards [21:50] hardware. since it happens with addition of videocard, it's probably that card [21:50] possibly PCI-E 16x slot [21:51] but I tried 2 cards [21:51] oh === mrjazzcat_ is now known as mrjazzcat [21:51] maybe. ill try moving my hdd and card over to a different mboard and see if that works [21:51] maybe your video cards don't get enough power [21:52] it definitely is no ubuntu problem if it can't get to grub tho [21:52] one video card needs external power the other not. so probably not [21:53] I'll try my "solution". if that doesnt work i can always complain to...someone. :P [21:53] !.deb [21:53] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu.

That should do.

[21:57] you'll have to reinstall due to HW changes, lafon [21:57] sw0rdfish: probably the safest bet, although you should probably ask whoever set up the VPS why you have natty packages but lucid repos [21:57] basic help. i go places, computer. then how "open in new tab" open in new window"? - I've tried r-click and shot|cont|windowskey|alt-click. Isn't it possible?

[21:59] i have a sony laptop. FN + F1-F3 works for mute, decrease and increase loudness. [21:59] but brightness didn't work [21:59] where can i adjust this [22:00] spicctrl on command line works [22:00] trism do you think I should wait till he responds to me lol [22:00] which one do i choose here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/python-software-properties [22:00] BluesKaj, thanks and I'll see. i just don't relish the idea of killing my phone for a week just to get a videocard to work 'cause i want to watch a movie or play a game [22:00] misa_: I don't really know [22:00] <__fish__> hm weird - my additonal nvidia driver says that it's activated but "not in use" *confused* [22:01] <__fish__> is that normal?

[22:02] Hi guys.. Do you also find that Ubuntu generally have a lower resolution or something like that, than a windows machine. [22:03] it does if you have a crt monitor. No im not that old [22:03] Perhaps it's just gnome, but everything is pretty damn bold.. Even Eclipse.. [22:03] lafon, i have a quite new laptop.. dont think that's the issue.. [22:03] boomboorum, gabble is just a way for Empathy to communicate with Jabber accounts. It's not an app in itself. [22:04] knxville, is that every time you login? [22:04] Hey! I came here because I need some help with installing maverick. Can anyone help me? [22:04] misa_: oh, thanks for clarification [22:04] lafon, yeah.. forever and always.. I just find everything so "big".. [22:04] knxville,check that the font is the one you like [22:05] lafon, im running ubuntu with 1280x800 [22:05] Distressed_dude, elaborate please [22:06] so is having your .xsession.errors file blow up until your hdd is full a normal occurance? [22:06] shingen, nope [22:06] shingen, what is it filled with? some error ? or just debugging ? [22:06] shingen: no. as the name implies: errors [22:06] knxville, what i meant is that (as an example only) say that the font that all title bars on your windows will be comicsans [22:07] @lafon When trying to install (partition stage) it freezes. When I try to repartition it through live mode, I get "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: In part_create_partition_table: device_file=/dev/sda, scheme=0 got it got disk committed to disk BLKRRPART ioctl failed for /dev/sda: Device or resource busy" [22:07] lafon, yeah.. im using monospace size 8 now.. its way better.. [22:07] anyone know how to get an onscreen keyboard working for the lock screen? [22:08] velofille: my machine was already crawling like a snail when my low hdd space warning came up, didn't have a chance to check... deleted the file, but since it was an open file handle, the space wasn't released, so I had to shut down my open apps and reboot to reclaim the space.... [22:08] distressed_dude, are you trying to use some special partition setup? [22:08] wols_: that's a great help there, thanks! [22:08] distressed_dude, almost sounds like the disk is mounted [22:08] shingen: not exactly. and: you could have just closed X [22:08] shingen, restarting X will release the space probably, keep an eye on it and see whats filling it up from now on [22:09] @misa_ no, just trying to erase the entire disk [22:09] wols_: if my hdd is full and I kill X and all the apps in it, I lose all my work... not the best way to help [22:09] distressed_dude, are you installing from cd or usb? [22:09] shingen, yeah but X was keeping the log file open in the first place [22:10] @misa_ dvd [22:10] dose anyone know how to setup a main dual boot on a external hard drive? [22:10] distressed_dude, if you don't want anything from it mount it externally to another computer and reformat then install [22:10] shingen, the other option is apt-get clean to clean out all old packages, giving enough space to save your work and restart X [22:10] shingen: next time run apt-get clean instead or delete *.gz in /var/log [22:10] velofille: right, but the machine was crawling already, I had critical work to save and trying to figure out what's wrong was not the best way to go [22:10] guys, this is a brand new install less than 1 day old [22:10] shingen, did you learn to autosave ? :) [22:10] I have no old packages... [22:11] in any case, tail -f the file [22:11] velofille: if my machine has no space, will it autosave? :P [22:11] find the error, post it into google :D [22:11] nah but it means you loose less when things break :) [22:12] distressed_dude, you could also try a gparted live iso [22:12] shingen, so you're on it now? tailing log? [22:12] @misa_ Tried that many a moon ago. Doesn't work. [22:13] I'd like some basic help. i click on Places, Computer to get a Nautilus file browser window (actually I use the Computer icon I put on my panel, next to the Username icon, and the Desktop icon). then how do I "open in new tab" or "open in new window"? - I've tried r-click and I've tried all of the following combinations, shift|cntl|windowskey|alt-click. Isn't it possible? [22:13] velofille: yeah, but when it happens it happens fast, so there is no point in watching it.... [22:14] And when something labeled 31 G filesystem opens it has this long number of a name. Can I rename the volume? [22:14] tripelb, ctrl+t opens new tab [22:14] so... I have a problem. on my ubuntu server, cron jobs don't seem to run anymore. I didn't make any changes, as far as I know, but none of my backup jobs seem to run. Any ideas? [22:14] tripelb: You cannot open new tab from the place menu because you don't have a nautilus window open yet. Once it is open you can right click to open folders in a new tab. [22:14] velofille: I just have to keep Virtualbox and Remmina up and do some web browsing to replicate... I've seen this a couple of times before using other distros based off 11.04, so it's definitely an 11.04 issue, but saving my virtubalbox state is the most important thing before finding the problem, as worse comes to worse, I drop ubuntu and try another distro [22:15] hello to all i have a netopia 3342 usb modem. All Leds do blink when i connect it to the Ubuntu Box but i dont see any possibility how to use it to make a internet connection. Can anybody help me ? [22:15] shingen, the fact that its virtualbox may be an issue, it could be related to the 3d required of unity in a virtual enviroment or similr [22:15] good will be if i had it at least in the ifconfig list but i dont see it there [22:16] xperia, ubuntu finds the modem [22:16] edbian, what kind of window did I open? It looks like a nautilus window. I'm not right tabbing from the menu but from the window that came when I clicked on (my)Computer. [22:16] velofille: could be remmina too... I saw this on my laptop while running pinguyos (11.04 based), which I don't run vbox on... [22:16] lafon yes if i do lsusb it show it [22:16] edbian, it is nautilus. I looked at about [22:16] tripelb: If you click on anything in places it opens a nautilus windows [22:17] i just need now somehow to make a internet connection to this usb modem in ubuntu [22:18] edbian, yes. I'm not near that basic. I want to open something in a new tab. this isnt the soert of thing that should be difficult. or to open it in a new window. I am looking at a set of drives. [22:18] xperia modems plug into your internet source usually. Is it a wireless adaptor for receiving wireless? === abcd is now known as Guest97870 [22:19] xperia: you need this driver http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/driver.shtml [22:19] xperia, and modems plug into your dsl or cable or phone line [22:19] tripelb no its simple wired analog modem [22:19] xperia, well there you are, I didnt know. [22:20] G00053 thanks will try it ! [22:20] If I have more than one partition on this drive, will it show in "my computer? How do I see it? Must I use gparted? [22:22] tripelb, it should not effect the speed of the system at all [22:22] tripelb, if you are installing ubuntu you can direct it to one of the partitions for install [22:23] coz_, nothing *I* said was about speed of the system.

Actually I want to copy what's on my other drives to my "big drive" [22:24] tripelb, ah I see ,, sorry , I misunderstood [22:24] I cant tel what's happening because all the partitions look like a windows file system or an ubuntu file system and I cant tell them apart when I open them. I want to name them. Howto? [22:24] coz_, NP I've done that lots. [22:25] coz_, earlier today I was asked what my native language is. Hows that for feeling alienating.

[23:12] i think i'm looking for the apache2's php.ini [23:14] neurre: because 64 bit is a little more complicated, and the recommendation is aimed at new users who might be confused, or not even have a 64 bit cpu. 32 bit is the safe choice since it will run on both 32 bit and 64 bit cpus [23:14] what is more complicated in it? not all software run as well?

I'd keep using my KDE desktop, but for whatever reason it's having major issues opening icons. [23:27] So, may I assume nobody knows an answer to my query? [23:27] Jake123: there is still gnome-session-fallback, which is like ubuntu classic (panel on the top/bottom, gnome applets, etc) but also a bit different being gnome 3, further discussion should be in #ubuntu+1 though [23:28] Jake123: I am moving off ubuntu over unity, it's horrid.

[23:32] royale1223, man irssi [23:33] I just get "sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found" [23:33] ejo: add-apt-repository is part of the python-software-properties package [23:33] ejo, It means there is no such command on your system. [23:33] no kidding? ok [23:33] ejo,try the correct command [23:33] ejo, apt-add-repository [23:33] doesnt mention in the manual. [23:33] cool beans -- I had no idea of that since I was following an "installing postgresql on ubuntu" tut [23:33] velofille: they both exist in recent versions [23:33] dunno why they didn't mention that that command wasn't basic [23:33] royale1223: set your services password as the server password, or use SASL, or use WAIT ;, or use timer.pl [23:33] royale1223, It dose. There is a delay timer for joining channels :P [23:33] thanks! [23:34] trism, maybe hes on an old one ?:D [23:34] royale1223: I'd suggest the first or second methods preferably [23:34] io, Dont give him the awnser haha :P [23:34] I dunno, fresh fresh install of 11.04 on a virtual private server :P === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [23:34] velofille: possibly :) he said he was on natty though, but there was similar trouble earlier [23:34] ejo, might want to check it is 11.04 then? [23:34] it is indeed [23:34] io, SummerB, freenode: autosendcmd: /^msg nickserv identify brahma;wait 2000 [23:34] anyway, Ill continue my own research on my query, unless someone here knows a bit about nautalus and thinks they may be able to help me :P [23:34] linode [23:34] is it possible for me to write a Debian ISO to a USB flash drive using Ubuntu 10.04? [23:35] is it supposed to be in natty? [23:35] curious [23:35] no idea [23:35] royale1223: you have now compromised your password. -autosendcmd isn't suggested on a network that supports services passwords as server passwords, or supports SASL [23:35] ejo: please don't tell me that: apt-cache policy python-software-properties; lists lucid as one of the repos [23:35] well thx for the springboard and I'll investigate further. ty ty [23:35] how do I un-clean, I forgot [23:35] there's a way to unconfigure things [23:35] EvilPhoenix: unetbootin should be able to do that, just about any linux iso will work in my experience [23:36] royale1223: /server add -network freenode irc.freenode.net 6667 and then remove your current server [23:36] Dulak, thanks [23:36] trism: nope, only us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [23:36] EvilPhoenix, if you are using the Debian 6 ISO CD1 or DVD1 they are hybrid - you can use either dd or cat to create USB. Personally I'd still recommend unetbootin however. [23:36] I suggest using port 7000 or 7070 [23:36] the SSL ports. [23:36] royale1223: I also suggest changing your services password now, see '/msg nickserv help set password' [23:36] ejo, i suppose linode may have custom images for VPS anyway (i know we do at rimuhosting.com) [23:36] ZykoticK9, i was looking of course to use one of the actual gui systems :P [23:36] no /etc/hostname in ubuntu? where do i change it? [23:36] ejo: it would be just after that part [23:36] ejo, done usually because customers request or use certain things [23:37] !hostname | rump [23:37] rump: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [23:37] velofille: yeah seems so. So yeah, python-software-properties got me hooked up. thanks again [23:37] trism: right after that there's just: natty/main i386 packages [23:37] io: ty [23:37] that's all [23:37] how do I undo ./configure [23:38] ejo, ie we install java libs, standard LAMP and working mail server on ours [23:38] sure [23:38] mine's barebonez [23:38] WXZ: 'make clean' or 'make distclean' [23:38] or so I read. [23:38] Unpack the tar [23:38] io: thanks [23:38] anyway, got this working thx! [23:38] ejo: excellent, that's what it should be, there was a misconfigured vps earlier that had a similar problem, just wanted to make sure [23:38] thats not my passwd [23:38] all good [23:38] :p [23:38] royale1223: use the server password method, or SASL if you can be bothered to set it up [23:39] royale1223: SASL requires a stack of perl modules and other things, more information on the freenode blog [23:39] I persoally use openvpn, proxychains and use ssl if avaiable. [23:39] io: i'' read it up [23:39] thank you [23:39] anyone know a file manager/browser that displays total folder content size [23:40] draioch, right click in nautalus > properties. or the du --max-depth=1 command [23:40] draioch: '$ du /home/draioch' [23:41] drag0nz, in .bashrc place alias du1='du --max-depth=1' [23:41] makes it alot faster [23:41] thx want to see folders size in a list for comparison purposes [23:41] I haev a ThinkPad T61 64659TU with Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) - 5+ google hits and I still have no sound. my guess is I am not passing the right model= [23:41] thx summerb io [23:42] CarlFK, lspci will give you the sound card [23:42] oh you did that nm [23:42] I need help with a costum resolution that I added for my projector. I know it's the right resolution but it still not fit. It's outside the screen. Please write me. [23:43] CarlFK, looks like you need alsa [23:43] CarlFK, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/intel-82801h-ich8-family-hd-audio-controller-recognized-by-alsaconf-but-doesnt-work-795300/ [23:44] velofille: that's what I last read. it kinda ends with "options snd-hda-intel model=" [23:44] Any1 Know why vuze stops working? -- it doesnt want to reload up anymore. only fix i found was restarting pc [23:44] In windows 7 If I had 2 files, and they were both "foo" , when I copied them to the same folder, one became "foo" and the other "foo (1)", If I had another "foo", and added it, it became "foo (2)", Now , If I had 2 folders with "foo foo(1) foo (2)" and added them, they became foo (1) foo (2)... foo (5) , and so on. How do I get this sort of behaviour from nautilus [23:44] vuze (torrent client) [23:44] does ubuntu run ok in virtualbox? [23:44] neurre: yes [23:44] neurre: definitely [23:45] hey again guys..in Windows, if I put the computer to sleep I can wake it up by pressing some keyboard buttons...Ubuntu however does not respond to key pressing, any idea how I can enable it? [23:45] CarlFK, the model name would be the model 82801H at a guess - hang on [23:45] I've been doing some googling, but I can't seem to find the answer. In previous version of Ubuntu, you could go to System>Preferences>Sessions to manage which applications launch at login. I can't find this in Ubuntu 11.04. Anyone know where this is? [23:45] because i tried to install vmware and i got http://codepaste.net/7aavbx [23:45] Monotoko, Hibernate will not respond to it on windows or ubuntu, Suspend will. [23:45] !startup | p014k [23:45] p014k: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [23:45] SummerB, I am suspending...it isn't responding, I have to physcially hit the power button [23:46] Monotoko: Did you try the ESC key? [23:46] CarlFK, is it actually detecting it ? [23:46] Monotoko, There is a button on your keyboard , should look like a moon. Press fn + that , if on a laptop :P [23:46] p014k: as it seems its outdated for 11.04 [23:46] minimec, I did...and SummerB I'm on a desktop [23:47] CarlFK, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747054 [23:47] Monotoko Windows dosent truely sleep, it eats your power while it dose. Thats why it still "active" , Pressing the power button is a better way to do it :P, But really, the buttons work on my laptop, might just be your computer. [23:47] Ya. Sessions got turned into Startup Applications. I should've read that more closely. Thank you. [23:47] CarlFK, looks like problem hardware though - lots of people having problems with it [23:47] velofille: http://dpaste.de/zw5b/ modprobe/dmesg - [23:47] SummerB, I was under the impression that sleep is the same in both Windows and Linux? [23:48] the power button is behind a cupboard door and it's incredibly awkward to get too... [23:48] Monotoko, Idk if many know this, but there actually not. Windows reserve a small bit of activity, about 64-128mb of ram for activity [23:48] hey [23:48] Monotoko, Your best bet, map the power key to a key combination, I have no idea if it will work. But It might. [23:49] are there any alternatives to proxifier for ubuntu? [23:49] does anybody know? [23:49] Alexander, Proxy chains [23:49] CarlFK, hmm check that last link [23:49] SummerB, How do i install that? [23:49] in /etc/hosts should i alias my static ip address to my hostname or added it to the 127/localhost line? [23:49] Alexander, apt-get install proxychains [23:49] CarlFK, might just be a case of googling all the obscure things - once you get it going though blog about it to save others the hassle :) === javier is now known as JotaDos [23:49] !install | Alexander [23:49] Alexander: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:49] Hey [23:49] thanks SummerB [23:49] :D [23:50] wrong one [23:50] Alexander, Although, Proxies by nature are insecure. I suggest a vpn [23:50] Someone can help me with my screen resolution¿ [23:50] alex@alex-desktop:~$ apt-get install proxychains [23:50] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [23:50] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [23:50] alex@alex-desktop:~$ [23:50] SummerB, it's because the wakeup script doesn't listen for USB input automatically...i have figured it out [23:50] what happened SummerB? [23:50] JotaDos: maybe, if you ask a real question [23:50] AlertEye, sudo [23:50] Alexander, apt is robably running in the background doing updates [23:50] Alexander: sudo [23:50] oh yeah, or add sudo :) [23:50] * Alexander [23:50] good catch io :D [23:50] how do i add sudo? [23:50] put sudo in front of the command [23:50] Alexander: '$ sudo apt-get install proxychains' [23:51] Alexander, add it to the start of the command [23:51] Alexander, ... Please, Learn to use the command line before you get into proxies. If you don't, Youll wind up with more headaches then a new mother. [23:51] Alexander: I have a good PDF for you, one moment. [23:51] ok [23:51] it only let me set 1024x768 but i want 1280x1024 [23:51] i search all over google and nothing help me [23:51] Alexander: Click on "Download it here." http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php [23:52] Alexander, I suggest you use a vpn. Or make sure every proxy you use DOSE NOT keep logs, or else everything you do will be sold to companies, or the police. [23:52] !software | Alexander [23:52] Alexander: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [23:52] Alexander: you should also read about installing software. plenty of good information above [23:52] Alexander: That PDF will teach you how to use the command line. [23:53] io i think it installed [23:53] how do i run it? [23:53] JotaDos, you may need to install drivers - check for other drivers for the video card (unsupported software in the menus) [23:53] Alexander: read the manual. '$ man proxychains' [23:53] Alexander, You have to confiure it first to use the proxies you want. For that, Google. [23:53] SummerB: or the manual [23:53] Alexander, There is NO graphic pannel for this. Its all from the command line. [23:53] where is the manual? [23:53] velofille, all the drivers are working fine [23:54] is a old pc [23:54] Alexander, type man proxychains [23:54] Alexander: I said. '$ man proxychains' [23:54] ok [23:54] SummerB, it's strange...my mouse lights stay on even while in standby..so it must be getting power :S [23:54] $: command not found [23:54] io [23:54] sorry that was supposed to be one line [23:55] Alexander: don't type the $, that is to indicate a command done through Terminal (in short) [23:55] ah [23:55] sorry [23:55] JotaDos, weird [23:55] I need help with a costum resolution that I added for my projector. I know it's the right resolution but it still not fit. It's outside the screen. How do I fix it? [23:55] man is /usr/bin/man [23:55] proxychains is /usr/bin/proxychains what does this mean? [23:56] Alexander: what did you type exactly? [23:56] sorry i mistyped it [23:56] Wallyes: run xvidtune to tweak the screen [23:57] Alexander: You should read that PDF I sent you before continuing. Like SummerB said, you need to learn the command line first or you will be lost and make many mistakes. [23:58] Thanks everybody! [23:58] Alexander: You don't need to read the entire thing either, but start learning how to use it. [23:59] Dulak: it says that its not possible, or not supported by my hardware configuration [23:59] rypervenche, what if i want to use it with a program in wine? [23:59] Wallyes: you'll need a custom modeline for your xorg.conf then [23:59] Alexander: If you want to use what with a program in wine? [23:59] what's the best way to get a gui login to my ubuntu server? so i can control ubuntu remotely with a gui
