[00:11] Sphyyr: yes, ask your question [00:12] has anyone got inconsolata looking decent in gnome-terminal? the antialiasing seems off i think, don't know if its jsut me [00:12] ok im using unetbootin to create the bootable flash drive, and when i try to start up using said drive, it will allow me to choose off the menu to boot into ubuntu and then it just displays static on my screen [00:13] it doesn't appear to be just an ubuntu issue as ive tried fedora as well === rabc is now known as draioch [00:14] Is there a channel for KDE or Kubuntu?

I have an extremely common issue that no one has been able to figure out... [00:19] Stingray88, go ahead [00:19] im bored and rendering videos, ill give it a crack [00:19] Sphyyr: I used to have a similar problem with a nvidia card that I could work around by adding nomodeset to the kernel command line until I could get the nvidia drivers installed [00:19] can you recommend a vncviewer which can scale the resoltution [00:19] I'm getting the "This driver is activated but not currently in use" message [00:20] Sphyyr: I do not remember off the top of my head how you do the with the unetbootin menu though, from the livecd you can hit f6 to add the option (or type it in) [00:20] trism ok but im using amd, ill go ahead and try that though [00:20] Apparently it's an issue with 11.04 and nvidia drivers [00:20] Stingray88, is the driver working? if it is, just ignore the message. [00:21] I can get a picture, but I can't change anything I'm supposed to like resoltutions [00:21] Stingray88, new install or upgrade? [00:22] i'm working with a laptop with no cd drive, and a bios that doesnt support booting from usb. can make a partition with the installation media to reinstall from? [00:22] Stingray88, does nvidia-settings say it's using the nvidia driver? [00:22] westz, that would work [00:22] I upgraded at first from 10.10 and couldn't figure out the issue after about a month, so I went and did a fresh install yesterday [00:23] velofille, how would i go bout that? [00:23] Stingray88, ahh ok, i do know there were problems on upgrade, removing the Xorg config so it generated a new one worked. But if you did a fresh install its something else [00:23] westz, you would need to remove the hdd , put it in usb caddy or similar to write an image [00:24] westz, if you had windows or something installed you can use that, the ubuntu site has several ways documented on writing an image file to usb stick, do the same but use the partition [00:24] Stingray88: check if module is loaded > lsmod | grep nvidia [00:24] hmmm...... [00:24] hi [00:24] westz, you would still need a boot loader to boot that though [00:24] I forgot the address to enter to get into my router [00:24] westz, better off putting the hdd into another machine, do the install, and move it back [00:25] lefty|afk, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 are probably the two most common [00:25] ZykoticK9, thanks! [00:25] velofille, i have a second laptop that has a cd drive tht i used to install ubuntu on this one. i wanted to know what i'd need to formt the recovery partition to [00:25] velofille, yeah thats what i've already done [00:25] ah [00:26] westz, always go for the easy option :D [00:27] anyone here [00:27] velofille, i wanted to know wht to format the other partition to, and some documentation on adding the recovery imge to grumachine)b2 (accustomed to old grub as i use arch on my [00:27] westz, you could make a small partition at the beginning but just so long as the boot load listed it which is the harder part if your bootloader is grub and thats rm -rf'd [00:28] westz, maybe hda1 = /boot ,hda2 = recovery, hda3 = install ? [00:28] can anyone answer my question pls about this http://s1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa461/marckison/?action=view¤t=Screenshot.png [00:28] i need some help with mdadm [00:28] i mean what filesystem (if any) do i formt the recovery partition to? [00:29] westz, you would not format in any, just use the ubuntu disk image writer [00:30] hmm [00:30] westz, create the partition, do not format it , apt-get install usb-imagewriter , use that [00:30] westz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [00:31] that'll work with a standrd hdd? [00:31] westz, should do, also http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html which uses a cd image [00:31] just make sure you use the partition not the entire drive [00:31] http://s1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa461/marckison/?action=view¤t=Screenshot.png please can anyone help me [00:31] Skeeter-: what seems to be the problem [00:32] so hda2 [00:32] with the unknow monitor [00:32] following that scheme that is [00:32] marck, looks like you need to define your monitor [00:32] i get the feeling im gonna have to do some grub.conf editing... i hate that [00:33] westz, heh, use ubuntu config for it ? (unsure if there is one) [00:33] tk': I believe the module is loaded [00:33] how do i define my monitor [00:33] marck, depending on your gfx card, perhaps installing the driver will allow the card to detect the monitor (applies to nvidia, perhaps AMD/ATI as well) - if not, you'd need to manually configure the monitor (is it an older monitor by chance?) [00:34] marck: be aware some native drivers (nvidia i know does so) use one screen that covers any number of monitors, so you'll need to use the utility that is designed for your graphics card [00:34] marck, please dont message me [00:34] i have an intel [00:34] ok [00:34] i dont believe there is tool to graphically configure boot devices... maye i'll write one... i've been looking for a good project to learn python through :) [00:35] start up manager worked but thene it failed [00:35] Stingray88 u had it working in 10.10 then? wt does nvidia-settings say now? [00:35] westz: ubuntu-startup-manager [00:35] tk', in 10.10 the driver simply stated it was activated, in 11.04 it states the driver is actived but not currently in use [00:36] robin0800, thanks [00:36] it helps u get ur resolution higher [00:36] tk`, and now it doesn't allow me to use certain resolutions I was previously able to [00:36] anyone got a solution to my problem [00:37] Stingray88 wt card is it? and wt res are you trying to set? [00:37] will a belkin n150 wireless router work with linux? [00:37] i can understand using older versions that are LTS, but whats th10.10 when theres a newer version?e point of using, say, [00:37] u can try setting resolution in xorg.conf manually [00:37] Hello [00:38] i have intel pentium 4 and my graphics chipset is Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller [00:38] im reading the box here and it says windows required... [00:38] westz, well, 10.10 doesn't use Unity would be one reason I'd suspect [00:38] but the chipset i cant get on ubuntu 11.04 [00:38] NoWayJose: yes a router is independed from the os from the clients [00:38] ZykoticK9, yeah, but neither does 10.04, and that's LTS [00:39] iceroot: ok i remember the days of winmodems...just making sure this aint like that [00:39] ZykoticK9, and you dont have to use the unity on 11.04 anyway. i dont. [00:39] tk`, The card is a GeForce 5200 FX, and I'm trying to set the resolution to 1280x800, forgive my ignorance, but I don't know the correct thing to write into xorg.conf to do that [00:40] NoWayJose: a modem is connected directly to the pc and need drivers. a router is not connected directly, its just using standard-lan/wifi technics like dhcp, wpa and so on [00:40] marck: I would advise you to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution [00:40] Stingray88, do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If not, "sudo nvidia-xconfig" would give you one (and solve your issue if you don't currently have one!) [00:40] iceroot, ok thank you very much. [00:42] ZykoticK9, Yes I do have one. What would be the correct way to add the resolution I want to it? [00:42] Íà ðóñêîì êòî ãîâîðèò [00:42] ? [00:42] im not trying to be difficult, i literally cant see the reasoning. even if you need to for older hardware, you can still use the LTS closest to the release that supports your hardwre [00:43] Stingray88, i think you need to get the driver actually working, then you should be able to specify the resolution from nvidia-settings (if you're using nv, nouveau, vesa they may not support non-standard resolutions). Good luck. [00:44] mobile: please fix your encoding so we can at least identify your language [00:44] i consider old non-lts releases to be dead once there's a newer release. 10.10 doesnt exist to me, only 10.04 nd the current (11.04) [00:44] westz, "perhaps" you should instead view all "supported" releases as existing... [00:45] ZykoticK9, i thought once there was a newer version it wasnt supported anymore? (except lts of course) [00:45] if not, it still doesnt change my choice to not use arch as my main machine [00:45] *ubuntu [00:45] westz, non-lts releases are all supported for a set period, i don't think 10.10 has reached EOL [00:46] ZykoticK9: How do I get xvidtune to work? Have to add a modeline from "cvt 1176 664" and added under monitor section in xorg.conf. Its still desplays a to big size for my screen. Says that my hardware configuration not supporting it to use xvidtune [00:46] idk how to do this [00:46] last time i downloaded ubuntu 11.04 [00:47] Wallyes, i'd never heard of xvidtune before today - on my system (which doesn't use proprietary drivers) it is working. I'm guessing it doesn't work with proprietary - but i'm not sure man. Good luck. [00:47] with start up manager it worked perfectly [00:48] hello [00:48] I've got a kind of weird bug. I think it's in the WUBI uninstall process. Any idea who I should tell about it? [00:48] Stingray88: if the xorg.conf states "Driver nvidia", all you should need to do is reboot if you recently changed something about the settings.. if your resolution is too low, try putting 'edd=on' as additional argument in the kernel boot line in Grub; if that fixes your issue, make it permanent by adding 'edd=on' as an option between the quotes in the line of /etc/default/grub that starts w/ 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=' [00:48] i am trying to install ubuntu but it doesnt recognizes my broadcom wifi and no cable option [00:48] sooo i plugged in my phone and did usb thetering :) [00:49] which works wonderfully with sysresccd for example. but ubuntu install cant see it :( [00:49] It's a very weird bug & I'm kind of curious why it's happening. It's also a hell of a nuisance. [00:49] Stingray88: and after modifying /etc/default/grub run 'sudo update-grub' [00:50] anyway to upgrade to the latest firefox 5 in natty?

[01:18] chalcedony: you said cease , in what sense no loading no flgrx at all ? fglrxinfo doesn't spit out anything? [01:18] Acidphase, first it wouldn't boot, in safe mode in the 28 kernel (10.04) i get errors including: system monitors: It appears your graphic driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? [01:19] Acidphase, TI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics [01:19] ATI [01:20] Got did you try using rescue ? and booting in loa graphical mode to at leadt get back to X? [01:20] Acidphase, i'm in low resolution now, it's not powering my lcd monitor, just the crt [01:21] could anyone help me use my phone as usb2net adapter to be able to use 3g or wifi ? somehow on ubuntu it doesnt just "works" :P [01:21] chalcedony: Oh and this is a good link for step by step info http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide [01:21] In the mean time does Jockey still work? [01:21] i tested it on another distro and worked like a charm [01:21] so it would be wonderfull to make it work under ubuntu also [01:23] chalcedony: sorry automatically assumed you were using Natty, if not that site has version specific info [01:23] what command can i run to get what graphics card i have? [01:23] diytto, "lspci | grep -i vga" [01:23] thanks [01:23] Acidphase, yes i was there too, trying to figure out what it says to do [01:23] Has anyone been having troubles with VLC taking insane amounts of resources, to the point the system freezes? [01:23] Acidphase, thanks - trying [01:24] It takes me something like 10 minutes to kill it, I've started having a terminal open with 'killall -9 vlc' that I make sure is one alt-tab away from VLC whenever I view a video [01:24] its really annoying :O [01:24] chalcedony: and Jockey (additional drivers) can't fix it either? [01:24] brb kid is getting into something [01:24] Started when I upgraded to 11.04 [01:24] Acidphase, not sure yet, looking at that [01:24] ty [01:24] np [01:26] shesek_, never had that problem, could be video related (as in drivers or vlc interacting with video) [01:26] Hi everyone, I'm setting up my LAMP and I was wondering if there is a way that I can gain permission to add and change files without doing "sudo" all the time? Is it right that the owner of /var/www should stay www-data? [01:27] shesek_: I have had some suspicions about the latest vlc....maybe I wasn't imagining things after all. Think I will install an earlier version and see what happens [01:27] jstoone, does apache need to write to it also ? [01:27] jstoone, you can chown as your user just fine but apache will not be able to write to things (ie wordpress or some cms need to etc) [01:28] knew he was goin to say that =P [01:28] im back [01:28] Hello I need a vpn client (pptp or ipsec), that when the vpn falling down, the pc disconnect from internet (sorry my english :S), anyone here that could help me? [01:28] soziety, look at openvpn [01:28] chalcedony: How yamacking out with that? [01:28] velofille: ok, I've just ´ls -l´ on my /var dir and I see that it's root:root that owns it.. shouldn't it be www-data? [01:28] velofille, you the on-call tech support today then? lol [01:29] hi all. can someone pls guide be with grub rescue. on mobile here, messed up partitions, i think it's grub2. thanks [01:29] jstoone: /var itself? [01:29] velofille, it´s pptp or ipsec? [01:29] jstoone, the owner does not matter , and you want to deal with /var/www not just /var [01:29] chalcedony: How you making out*, can't type tonight must be the 3 year old next to me creaming.... [01:29] westz_, i do it for a living (im a sysadmin at rimuhosting.com) today im bored whilst rendering HOWTO videos [01:29] velofille, is it pptp or ipsec? [01:29] Acidphase, wb- my other friend says to take the word 'splash' out of the grub menu ? [01:30] jstoone, the owner does not matter so long as apache can read the files and execute the directories [01:30] Random832: velofille: yea I misstyped i ´ls -l´ in the /var folder so I could see the owner of www/ (: [01:30] soziety, did you want a client? or a server [01:30] client [01:30] velofille, i do minor IT for my friends (guys like me are a dime a dozen, i know) i just think it's funny that everyone seems to be deferring to you [01:30] jstoone, ahh yep. I've seen a few chown entire /var before :D [01:30] velofille, I need a client [01:30] westz_, nobody else was helping at the time :D [01:31] velofille, th0r, I would I go about checking what could cause it? Any logs that could give me an idea? [01:31] velofille: woops, that wouldn't bee good XD [01:31] soziety, ahh ok, thats different. Unsure what would be best, PPTP can be setup on Linux - i think by using ppp (like dialup) [01:31] i'll help with what i can [01:31] westz_, to me most of this is the equivalent of 'how do you maximuze a window' windows support :D [01:31] velofille: thanks btw (: sold and clear answars! good job. [01:32] ok thanks velofille [01:32] usually i get customers with far worse problems, unfortunately my knowledge is skewed to server based rather than desktop [01:32] chalcedony: um not sure how that will fix your fglrx problem sorry busy here at home [01:32] i use linux on desktop, but i just use command line for everything so not familiar with a lot of the gui versions :/ [01:33] velofille, to my equivalent windows experience, a lot of this is "how to modify your registry" [01:33] velofille, do you do windoze tech support too? [01:34] Acidphase, i was trying to figure that out too... but he says it helped him [01:34] westz_, nope [01:34] understand about kids Acidphase we had 7 [01:34] chalcedony: If your just getting to the shell and can't get back to Xsever , login then type: sudo apt-get remove fglrx , sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install fglrx [01:34] westz_, not overly familiar with windows, i could do it if i had too, but not if i can help it :D [01:34] then sudo reboot [01:34] westz_, its not like its hard in any case [01:34] so ...anyone knows a bit of grub rescue? :\ [01:35] any program in linux like deep freeze? [01:35] brb [01:35] Acidphase, wow thanks -- ill try that after i do splash [01:35] shesek_: the only thing I can think of offhand is top. But if you are having the same problem I am, when things go wrong you can't get to a terminal to run top [01:35] chalcedony: (you can alwso do tat while your in X just load the temrinal) [01:35] how do i fix this chat error "Can't establish video stream [01:35] (Friends)'s software does not understand any of the video formats supported by your computer [01:35] technical details [01:35] codec negotiation failed: there was no intersection between the remote codecs and the local ones" [01:35] snazzydre: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:35] oh sorry [01:36] velofille, i can fix any windoze problems: boot puppy from disk, sudo cfdisk, format drive, reinstall windoze :D do it all the time [01:36] I'm having a rather odd display related issue with a machine: I can use a TV hooked up to the svideo out, but not the vga connection on the same video card. This only affects the installed version of Ubuntu; I have confirmed that I can use the display just fine booting off a ubuntu live CD. Short of reinstalling Ubuntu, how can I fix the issue? === Nickkkkk is now known as Luxe [01:36] Also, I don't know what card (exactly) is in there [01:36] Can apache write to /var/www if the owner is www-data:www-data? - atm it's owned by root:root [01:36] i only bother with the formatting in puppy because windoze likes to try to save your (usually virus infected) documents [01:37] chalcedony: as far as Upgrading to 11.6 cause I have a feeling thats what you did some of the symbolic links get screwy in Ubuntu sometimes but if you follow that lik I gave you earlier it will teach how to fix it the problem :) [01:37] th0r, but even if I did... it wouldn't tell me what causes it [01:37] Acidphase, i'm in 10.04 [01:37] i can not video chat with my father because it days his software does not understand my any of my video formats how do fix this? [01:38] th0r, after I do manager to kill it, are there any logs that could tell me why that happens? [01:38] chalcedony: that's fine pretty much the same from Lucid and Natty as far as the fglrx process [01:38] shesek_: none that I know of...sorry [01:39] well... I'll try to log ps aux for vlc [01:39] php -r 'while(1){`date >> ~/vlclog; ps aux|grep vlc|grep -v grep>>~/vlclog`;sleep(3);}' [01:39] chalcedony: trust me I know what your going through been down the road myself I have a ATI 5870 so talking from experience lol [01:39] to see CPU/mem usage [01:39] I'll keep that running while using VLC === th0r is now known as Guest17350 [01:40] westz_, oh yeah i can do all that probably, i just dislike doing it :D [01:40] changed my buddy's windoze wallpaper. black background, white letters: "I find your lack of XORG DISTURBING" [01:41] westz_, im REALLY biased against windows, cant stand it, dont like how it works [01:41] velofille, agreed. i only have it because i got it free [01:41] I have no problems with others using it though, i just dont watch to touch it myself. Means my job scope is limited somewhat, but at least i get jobs doing what i really love :) [01:42] velofille, true, good way to be too [01:42] yeah, windows would be my backup job :D [01:42] once you know *NIX you can do about anything [01:42] wath is the default log deamon in natty ? [01:43] TrD: the one you set when installing [01:43] TrD, rsyslogd ? [01:43] TrD: ah, nvm, I misread you [01:44] yes velofille :) [01:44] god I hate mirc, even after using it for 10 years booting between operating systems , I need to get back to fixing my own problem now lol [01:44] it's rsyslogd [01:44] np szal [01:44] Acidphase, lol thanks! [01:44] TrD, i admit to ps aux |grep log [01:44] :D [01:44] chalcedony: iit work for ya? [01:44] Acidphase: don't use mIRC then :P [01:44] me too :P [01:45] hey dont dis mIRC, thats what got me using Linux :D [01:45] Acidphase, i was busy copying the grub page manually [01:45] i have ubuntu 11.04 and i am using empathy to video chat using my msn account and when my friend tries to send me a video chat it says that his software does not understand any of the video formats supported by my computer and then the technical details says codec negotiation failed: there was no intersection between the remote codecs and the local ones, now my camera works when using cheese webcam booth so i know the driver works [01:45] , so my question is how would i go about fixing this issue? [01:45] !info retty [01:45] retty (source: retty): attach processes running on other terminals. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0-2 (natty), package size 9 kB, installed size 76 kB (Only available for i386) [01:45] Acidphase: use KVIrc [01:45] szal right now stuck in winblows and all my cripts are setup in mirc from being a net admin for year on UTChat.com [01:45] i learnt programming from it, then heard of this awesome thing called Linux which let you program the whole OS! :D [01:46] snazzydre, codec is like the interpreter - check to see if there are mode codecs for it [01:46] velofille, lol really? whats this linux? can i use it? [01:47] lo [01:47] would i do this with software center or synaptic [01:47] Is there tool like retty for 686? [01:47] chalcedony: their is easier way , if your dual botting when you get the grub boot menu hit "e" remove splash from the menu then hit F10 thhis will try your friend theory and wont save anything [01:47] snazzydre, you just need to install h264 codec. [01:47] See the FAQ: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ [01:47] chalcedony: it will just bootup with that option removed that time [01:47] snazzydre, http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#Which_video_codec_do_I_need.3F [01:47] hi all, ive been running apt-get update / apt-get upgrade on my ubuntu 9.10 karmic box every week for the past 5 weeks and there have been no updates. is it no longer supported with apt-get? [01:47] qin, i386 is i686 from an Ubuntu perspective [01:48] Acidphase, thanks i'll try that :) [01:48] Evening, everyone. If anyone has a moment to help me out, I'm sad to find that 11.04 is not detecting my cd/dvd-rom and I have no idea what to do about that. [01:48] i have seen this page and i checked to see if i had this codec using the instructions provided on the url and the terminal says i have it i think [01:49] Acidphase, f-10 didn't do anything, nor ctrl f-10 [01:49] ZykoticK9: ok, Is there tool retty-like for 64bit server? [01:49] qin, no idea. [01:49] What's the "right" way to view a text file which has a binary blob somewhere in it, for example cat'd to the end? When I try to view such a file with GEdit it refuses to open it because it has the binary blob in it, but it's the text I'm interested in so it's no appropriate to view it using a hex editor. Is there any way to amke GEdit show the binary bit as random noise so I can view the rest normally? [01:50] qin, couldn't you accomplish the same thing with screen? I'm not entirely clear what retty does... [01:51] stravant: have you tried to cat it to an output file? [01:51] stravant, vi will handle it, alternatively 'strings filename.cc' piped through less [01:52] Anyone have a moment? [01:53] stravant, try the command strings on the file [01:53] ZykoticK9: Like an idiot, started crawler out of screen (well tmux), but there is tool called gbd [01:54] stravant, from a terminal of course [01:54] ZykoticK9: Sorry, gdb [01:54] w30: Yea, I guess that will work, but it seems inconvenient that Gedit won't do it [01:55] qin, GNU Debugger? [01:55] Hazd0t: What do you need? [01:55] stravant, whatever you do don't edit it unless you are using a hex editor [01:55] ZykoticK9: yes, how to: http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/02/27/redirecting-output-from-a-running-process/ === raju is now known as grr === grr is now known as gtr [01:57] I just made the switch over to Ubuntu. Was rocking 10.10 for a few days and I just finished the upgrade to 11.04, but in both instances my cd/dvd drive isn't being detected and I haven't been able to find a forum post describing how to fix the issue.

[02:02] Not that I'm seeing, Vel. [02:02] does anyone know how to configure iptables to detect port scans? === ar0n is now known as ar0nic [02:02] Hazd0t: pastebinit /etc/scsi/scsi [02:03] usr13, do you mean proc or etc? [02:03] sudokill: configure iptables to detect port scan? I don't think so. [02:03] ? lots of people have don it [02:04] just lots of different configs... [02:04] sudokill: Are you wanting to block port 113 ? [02:04] sudokill: iptables does not detect things. [02:04] Any other suggestions? [02:04] /var/log/messages [02:05] sudokill: iptables is for pakcet filtering and NAT [02:05] sudokill, zenmap [02:05] i have nmap, that is a port scanner [02:05] nm found out the iptables rules [02:06] sudokill: psad perhaps? :) [02:06] sudokill: So what is it exactly you want to do?

Using "eject" in terminal produced no result five minutes after I got the tray open and put a disc in there. So I restarted my computer and as it was booting I tried popping the disc tray open again and it opened no problem. Not a hardware issue. [02:09] Hazd0t: look at /proc/scsi/scsi i.e. cat /proc/scsi/scsi [02:09] A moment. [02:09] usr13, ok - i'm not crazy, guess they just returned [02:09] Would you like a copy? [02:10] Hazd0t: So it's working now? [02:10] It's recognizing that something is there, yes. [02:10] Hazd0t, its possible that the link from /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd is to the wrong place also [02:10] Strange. Apologies, as I said, I've only been messing around with it for a few days. [02:11] Hazd0t: Well, you can't rule out a hardware issue. It still may not read anything. [02:11] Any idea how I could check on that, Vel? [02:11] Hazd0t, ls -l /dev/cdrom [02:11] Well sure, but all I'm saying is that I used my CD drive in order to install ubuntu in the first place. [02:12] Hazd0t: So what is it? /dev/hdc ? [02:13] Vel, no such file or directory. [02:13] Bear with me, 13, I'm not sure what you're asking me. [02:14] Do any of you know an app for ubuntu that will teach me how to type properly? [02:14] Well I mean, I suppose there really isn't an issue. Before when I opened my computer, the only thing that showed up was filesystem and now the drive is there. I guess a way to figure out if it's working would be to pop a CD in and see if I can open it with banshee or something. === claudio is now known as Guest25121 [02:17] phrostbite: typing properly being...?

[02:21] phrostbite, you have to have penguin wings instead of fingers though [02:21] damn i should read myself before pressing enter [02:21] lol [02:21] phrostbite: thats quite a bad habit, most people i've known just slowly develop multi finger typing naturally - there are some browser based (usually flash games) available [02:22] I can type a little bit using a few fingers however. But oh well. [02:22] Yeah I just never bothered to do it. People are so surprised at how fast I can type doing it my way. [02:22] Last typing test I took for an employer I got 64 wpm [02:22] you would type faster with all your finger [02:23] I know.

HELP [02:39] |COM|Styx, it says no such file or directory [02:39] x0x: this is #ubuntu, not #puppy (or whatever their channel is called) [02:40] ok thanks [02:40] hello [02:40] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: you need to install that library, then. if it already is installed, run "sudo ldconfig" [02:40] |COM|Styx, But it's installed [02:40] hello [02:40] sarthor: have you tried restarting, or are you on the live CD? [02:41] isntalled Ubuntu, and yes i restarted several times. [02:41] |COM|Styx, what's those run-time bindings ? [02:41] Never mind, gnome-screensaver might work out. [02:41] I have installed Java 1.6 in my home directory and I want to use this version. I've updated my .bash_profile to point to the /bin directory of Java 1.6 but when I type java -version I still get reference to the old version [02:41] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: what do you mean? [02:41] please help me there arent people in channel puppy [02:41] also, "which java" references the old version as well [02:42] KM0201, inStalled Ubuntu, and yes i restarted several times. [02:42] sarthor: i'm assuming Ubuntu is wired to the internet right now, right? [02:42] |COM|Styx, 2 sec I'm reading the man of ldconfig [02:42] any idea how I can get my system to reference the new java version? I don't have root, this is my hosting provider's server [02:42] KM0201, in distrowatch, ubuntu is on the top. i know only that webiste rating. [02:42] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: ldconfig updates the database of where different .so files are [02:43] KM0201, may be your right, majority here are exprts. while i am not. [02:43] sarthor: ?... i'm not really sure why you're talking about distrowatch, but ok... [02:43] sarthor: are you wired to the internet? [02:43] Can anyone help? [02:43] KM0201, yes. i am connected via Wire. [02:44] Ah well, back to Windoze : [02:44] ( [02:44] |COM|Styx, yup I got that, well I still get the error truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:44] x0x, Try ##linux [02:45] <|COM|Styx> get libfuse2 using apt-get or synaptic [02:45] KM0201, yes. using that newly installed windows i am connected via cable to the Internet, [02:45] x0x: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/IRC <- you could've easily found that out yourself [02:45] ok thanks wildgoose [02:45] not windows.. sorry ubuntu 11.04 KM0201 [02:45] |COM|Styx, I'll probably reboot to fix it, libfuse is installed but I think used by another instance. [02:45] KM0201, can you help me out by any chance? [02:46] thanks a lot ;) [02:46] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: on linux more than one program can have a file open [02:46] <|COM|Styx> so long as it's read-only access, which it would be with a shared object [02:46] |COM|Styx, I hate having to use those old windows tricks to fix stuff, [02:46] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: that won't fix it [02:46] sarthor: i know there *was* an issue w/ the STA driver, but I honestly thought it had been resolved.. i don't have a 4313, but i've gotten the b43 driver working great if I compile it from source (4313 apparently requires the STA driver) [02:46] can anyone see me? [02:47] irb111: why don't you just ask your question? [02:47] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: try "locate ilbfuse.so.2" [02:47] I have installed Java 1.6 in my home directory and I want to use this version. I've updated my .bash_profile to point to the /bin directory of Java 1.6 but when I type java -version I still get reference to the old version [02:47] !patience | irb111 [02:47] irb111: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ === dividebyzer0 is now known as wx4nc [02:47] also, "which java" references the old version as well [02:47] irb111, you sure your bin is at the front of your path? [02:47] |COM|Styx, it's in /lib [02:48] let me check [02:48] KM0201, E: firmware-b43-lpphy-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [02:48] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: you ran "sudo ldconfig", right? [02:48] sarthor: and the truth shall set you free... you have a 4313-lpphy those are always a problem [02:48] yup [02:48] |COM|Styx, 2 times, with the verbose [02:49] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: hmm... try ldd on the library that's having the problem again [02:49] sarthor: i have never had luck getting those lpphy devices to work w/ Ubuntu... [02:49] ok, it wasn't in the front of the path [02:49] that fixed it! [02:49] curious, why does the order matter? [02:50] KM0201, please... do not say like this. today i purchased this laptop. and i collected from 4 months. [02:50] because there has to be an order it follows.. what if you hav 2 identically named binaries... [02:50] left to right... first one found - gets used. [02:50] sarthor: well, what do you want me to say?... [02:50] KM0201, they will not replace my laptop due to this. they will say.. install windows.... [02:50] sarthor: well, yeah?.. did you nuke windows completely? [02:51] dr_willis: makes sense [02:51] thanks [02:51] |COM|Styx, yup I've done ldd showed few dependencies [02:51] KM0201, may be some ppl will get hurt. but i really do not like windows.. Main Reason.. Costly. [02:52] sarthor: well, thats fine, but when you know nothing about linux, removing yourself rom Windows cold turkey, isn't very smart (and this is coming from someone who also despises windows) [02:52] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: did you try "ldd $(which truecrypt)"? [02:52] i never said, i know nothing. I know but little. [02:52] why would the print screen button not work in 11.04 [02:53] I dont get the pop up to save a png [02:53] nor is anything copied to the clipboard [02:53] hi - how do I do an updatedb in ubuntu? (for find) [02:53] KM0201, if install MINT will there be some change that wlan will work? [02:53] sarthor: very unlikely, id on't know how to be more clear, those lpphys are always a problem [02:54] they aren't supported by the broadcom drivers yet, in any distro, to my knowledge [02:54] sarthor: second, mint might as well be an ubuntu spin, so you'd just be wasting your time most likely [02:54] anyone? [02:54] con-man: does gnome-screenshot in the terminal work? [02:54] KM0201, o/ [02:54] itaylor57: o/ [02:55] trism, yes actually it does I just tried it === dividebyzer0 is now known as wx4nc [02:56] con-man: are you running compiz? [02:56] sarthor: you might try the forums, see if someone there can help you, or if you want to try another distro, I would try Fedora. [02:57] |COM|Styx, As you expected still not working [02:57] <|COM|Styx> what did it say? [02:57] Ahhhhhhhhhh. thinking about my money....... that took 4 months, and after that i was able to purchase a laptop. [02:58] sarthor: well, honestly, you should have dual booted till you had these issues resolved.... === dividebyzer0 is now known as wx4nc [02:58] still the same error can't load the shared object file [02:58] KM0201, windows cost a lot. do have money brother. [02:58] and I've re-installed it [02:58] sarthor: did the laptop not come preinstalled w/ Windows? [02:59] KM0201: Why do you keep giving bad advice, someone comes in here and you tell him/her s/he shouldn't remove windows (after s/he already did)? Then you go on to tell them to try another distro? [02:59] KM0201, i purchased without windows. with windows it was costly. [02:59] Omega: why don't you follow the conversation. [02:59] sarthor: oh ok... [02:59] Other distro talk should go in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:59] con-man: I would check if apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_screenshot is set correctly in gconf-editor, and also check that the take screenshot command is set to Print in Keyboard Shortcuts [02:59] con-man: I don't know if something in compiz overrides this though [03:00] Omega: and i didn't tell him not to remove windows, i was saying he should have dual booted till he had these issues worked out, if you don't like my advice, put me on ignore. [03:00] we've been through this. [03:00] Omega: and i suggested another distro, because there's a known problem w/ that device and ubuntu. [03:00] anyone as a cool tuto for crypt a partition with LUKS ? Truecrypt is bugged for me. [03:00] Peace brothers. [03:01] KM0201: If it works on another distro it can be made to work on Ubuntu. [03:01] Omega: most likely, its not gonna work w/ Fedora either [03:01] .. why am i even explaining myself to you? [03:01] one thing. it works on ubuntu. but on live CD [03:01] sarthor: so it works on the live cd? [03:01] KM0201, yes. [03:01] sarthor: that's further than i've saw most get w/ it. [03:02] guys is there no "updatedb" in ubuntu? [03:02] maybe the grandmaster wizard omega can help you.

[03:10] Poindexter_: Just because they don't actively block it doesn't mean it's against their ToS. [03:10] it's not, rather. [03:10] I have had no problems up to this point.

[03:11] Poindexter_: Call your ISP and ask them. There's nothing more we can do for you here on this issue. [03:11] Anyways, given that Comcast is pretty lax about enforcing that part of their ToS, the more likely problem is that you're not port forwarding correctly. [03:11] but... what Corey said.

[03:23] Nobgul-BNC: Does it support Code Hinting btw? [03:23] <[THC]AcidRain> ok so my question is this, when using postfix; on the godaddy webpage in the zone file, does the smtp.secureserver.net need to point to my computer? [03:23] okay thanks.i will try and see if it works [03:23] <[THC]AcidRain> OR, the domain itself already pointed, and i leave that alone [03:23] jstoone, there are custom scripts around the net that you can Get that will do that. But code hinting for the most part is a full on editor thing. like blue.. [03:24] [THC]AcidRain: If you want inbound mail to hit your server you have to point the MX record for the domain to your server via its A record (NOT a CNAME). As to how to do this with GoDaddy, call them and ask. That's what you're paying them support dollars for. [03:24] <[THC]AcidRain> good point [03:25] Nobgul-BNC: Yea, but none i've tried so far has had it :( It just speeds up the workflow when you can use the hinting which auto-completes the snip (: [03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> then the A record is already pointed. and im good to go. thx Corey [03:25] [THC]AcidRain: You need more than that. :-) [03:25] [THC]AcidRain: What's the domain? [03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> grrr... [03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> http://acidshower.com [03:25] Corey: If there's no MX record, A is used instead. [03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> im just trying ot make sure i have all the prerequisits before i attempt to successfully install postfix [03:26] [THC]AcidRain, I would suggest sending in a support ticket with your request along with your telephone number. Asking them to give you a call when they are going to do the modifcations. I have used godaddy for over 6 years for my companies websites, and not once have I even touched the dns zone editor. [03:26] rww: Correct, but it's poor practice. [03:26] Corey: Why? [03:26] corey: ive tried but it says this http://paste.ubuntu.com/630169/ [03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> i have an mx record. but the A record is pointed to my box [03:26] rww: As well as, in this case [THC]AcidRain has an MX record that points to GoDaddy. [03:26] jstoone, 1 sec there is 1 that does it all let me ask someone. [03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> the mx record is pointed to smtp.secureserver.net [03:26] Corey: ah [03:27] <[THC]AcidRain> so everything on the godaddy side is properly setup? [03:27] jstoone, Just hold tight they are afk. I know its a IDE just can't place the name [03:27] [THC]AcidRain: No, that's not what you want. [03:27] <[THC]AcidRain> oh... why not? [03:28] rww: And there are some busted mailservers out there that don't honor A records; they choke on a lack of MX. [03:28] <[THC]AcidRain> cause in postfix ill forward to acidshower.com [03:28] * rww wanders off to add an MX record [03:28] jstoone, google editrocket for linux [03:28] rww: Not common, but email is a study in edge and corner cases. [03:28] oh, I have one. I could have sworn I didn't :| [03:29] [THC]AcidRain: Unless smtp.secureserver.com is you, you don't want mail going there. [03:29] <[THC]AcidRain> so what do i put is my question? [03:29] <[THC]AcidRain> my ip address? [03:30] [THC]AcidRain: No. MX has to point to an A record-- y'know what? Call GoDaddy. They're better at explaining this. ;_) [03:30] Nobgul-BNC: Cool, I'll look into it! Even though I just found out that I can install a plugin for Eclipse, which is GREAT, cause I write Java most of my time (: [03:30] <[THC]AcidRain> well can you just give me an example? [03:30] <[THC]AcidRain> thats all i wanna see really [03:30] jstoone, hehe Yer most of what you want is all in IDE's [03:30] <[THC]AcidRain> i dont know what to search for on google to get my answer [03:30] thc hold on a second [03:30] I will pastebin you my whole zone file.

[03:36] does anyone knows if it is possible to use a ps3 controller to play games in Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS? [03:37] JessicaRN: You don't want to do that. [03:37] lsv: I've done it before. :) [03:37] lsv: If I remember correctly, it just works, though you might have to set up control assignments in the games. === rannmann`dt is now known as rannmann [03:38] corey, y not?

[03:39] <|COM|Styx> lsv and djr013: that discussion was just going on in ##linux too [03:39] JessicaRN: Then resize the partition FIRST. Then clone it. [03:39] lsv: No idea about that game, but I'm guessing you'll just have to go to the game's settings and enable/configure the controller. [03:40] corey, clonezilla cant resize? [03:40] djr013 |COM|Styx: thanks [03:44] gparted wont let me resize the w2k partition. I'm running a gparted livecd [03:49] hello, why appear message bat battery?

I'm running chkdsk now [03:59] My sound works as of GDM, but once I login, it stops working right after that. And pulseaudio has what looks like a higher than normal memory load in htop. Where should I go next to debug this? [03:59] lsv, with the controller plugged in verify that you have a /dev/input/js0 assuming you do, verify that is where your game is also setup to use (some games will try /dev/js0 by default) [04:00] what does the multiple reboot do that just one wouldn't? (just curious) [04:00] ZykoticK9: thanks, I'll try that [04:01] JessicaRN, makes file system check one mount closer to being due.

[04:05] Nope... not being a part of the audio group was not the issue. [04:05] hiyo you will likely need to shrink your windows partition to make unallocated space for a new partition. [04:06] isforinsects: I wish to replace my current Linuxpatition with the new one I am about to install [04:06] ZykoticK9: I do have a /dev/input/js0 file and when I start the game (alex4) in the menu screen the arrow just starts cycling through all the options and the game will not quit. [04:06] I have now fixed my problem. Somehow my output was set to a nonexistant option. Resetting to internal fixed. *shrug* [04:07] hiyo: erase the old linux partition then?

[04:07] JessicaRN: Sometimes after correcting an error, windows will reboot, detect that it indeed changed something on the filesystem, and ask to reboot to register the change it made. [04:08] lsv, sorry i've never even heard of alex4 - but if you have /dev/input/js0 that says the "system" sees the joystick. If you want you can "cat /dev/input/js0" in a terminal and move stick/press buttons to get text confirmation that it's working. Good luck.

[04:13] soreau NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M [04:14] I've got a bunch of files in some system resources directory which have koren file names. They don't appear in Thunar (with hidden files on) and in ls they come up as ???????? and then their name in koren characters [04:14] I can't delete them with rm, it says no such file or directory [04:14] Any ideas [04:14] @hahaha [04:14] NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M [04:16] ZykoticK9: it works :D weird configuration though :\ [04:16] hey guys got a question. I updated my netbook to 11.04 and its saying the password to unlock my keyring is no longer my login password. my password is indeed the same, wondering what i should do [04:17] Suicide is the only logical choice [04:17] is it possible to have ChanServ in my channel?

Almost all of Linux software tends to support UTF-8. So iunno. [04:18] Or google :D [04:18] whats the simplest and easiest way for me to setup the mailserver? [04:18] I dont want to even think about it! [04:19] djr013: I don't think it's character related, I believe the files aren't actually there at all... Just some sort remaing reference to tehm [04:19] lsv: did that. tried changing the password but its not working. [04:19] @kindari type this in terminal "lmfao i dont remember the syntax for changing thhe root passwd" somebody help me out [04:20] Rogan_: Does ls -a display them? [04:20] Kindari: then delete the item and create another one. (THIS WILL DELETE YOUR PASSWORDS, YOU WILL HAVE TO ENTER THEM AGAIN) [04:20] MadHaTTer_666: its not the root password, dont hate.

[04:27] djr013: They're on a hfs+ drive sadly... But normal files on there seem to work [04:27] hey, total newbie here, is there an easy way to mount a networked directory shared with SMB connection so that it appears as a folder? [04:28] anthony_alan, yep, you can view the network [04:28] anthony_alan, oops hit enter too soon. View the network, browse for the share, then the shared folders, it will auto mount [04:29] Rogan_: Oh, no idea about that. Does hfs+ support UTF-8 or similar filenames? [04:29] velo - ah, right, thanks so much, so obvious! [04:31] would there be any reason why ubuntu server boots fine on my computer but ubuntu desktop eventually shuts off my computer? [04:32] Jeffsi, did you install a proprietary gfx driver on the desktop install? [04:32] Wikipeida says "HFS Plus permits filenames up to 255 UTF-16 characters in length" so I assume it should be fine with that... [04:32] hauuuuuuuuu [04:32] yuuu [04:33] ZykoticK9: no i did not, what exactly is that? [04:33] Jeffsi, i was just wondering if you install a nvidia/ati driver of some sort. Well best of luck. [04:33] Jeffsi: could be a difference in the kernel, [04:34] Talaskina: would that maybe help [04:34] Jeffsi: shouldnt be that much difference but if there is, and video drivers too. base install of server works fine, and base install of desktop doesnt, right? [04:35] correct [04:35] Jeffsi: there are some factors that you would need to narrow down first. firstly you install the desktop edition, what exactly do you mean by shuts down. does it shutdown immediately, after a period of time, after you do updates? === wIRC9- is now known as Luxe [04:36] ZykoticK9: when I press tab at the installer boot menu screen, notthing happens === Uboss is now known as i3Guy [04:36] Talaskina: the desktop will turn off after a little while of running sometimes while i am answering those install questions sometimes while it boots, it varies every time [04:36] commander1988199, try space or enter (at the first GUI looking opportunity) [04:37] Jeffsi: is this just with the latest version? [04:37] Jeffsi: the 11.04? [04:37] okay will try brb [04:37] what are peoples thoughts about the WUBI install of ubuntu (t420 with 500GB of hard drive space) [04:37] Talaskina: im using the LTS version [04:37] Jeffsi: interesting that should be pretty stable [04:37] Jeffsi: is it just the monitor, or the entire computer, shuts down? [04:38] Jeffsi: and both the desktop and server are both the LTS 10.04 version correct? [04:38] arooni-mobile, in my opinion WUBI is ideal for "testing" if you like Ubuntu or not, but having GNU/Linux rely on Windows is FAIL (again only MY opinion) [04:38] Talaskina: computer shuts off, fans spin down, etc [04:38] hehe === i3Guy is now known as raw [04:38] Talaskina: yes they are both LTS [04:39] Jeffsi: how does the live desktop work? does it stay on? [04:39] Jeffsi: when running just from the CD [04:39] Rogan_: Oh, heh, just a guess. [04:40] djr013: Thanks for trying, I'll wrangle this beatie another day haha :) [04:40] Talaskina: I have not tried running it from the cd, i atempt to instal it if im able to get that far [04:41] Jeffsi: try from CD, use it for about half an hour and see how it reacts. if everything is stable you can rule out kernal issues, [04:41] Jeffsi: how long have you had the server edition up and running? [04:41] hi all [04:41] ZykoticK9: space or install does not work either... [04:41] no idea? [04:41] Jeffsi: you had the server completely installed right? [04:41] commander1988199, sorry i can't help then, good luck. [04:42] ZykoticK9: thank you for your help anyways.... [04:42] commander1988199: ctrl+alt+f2 ?

[04:43] okay one sec, let me turn the other laptop back on... [04:43] Talaskina: i have not had it installed and running(the server edition) but the boot works fine, install looked great, and the memtest worked fine and stayed on for about an hr till i shut it down === raw is now known as iPhoner [04:43] commander1988199: try the alternate installer [04:43] Jeffsi: on the install screen? [04:44] wols: will try... does it matter though that I am installing from a usb stick? [04:44] Jeffsi: ok. you know how to do a md5sum check on the iso you downloaded? [04:44] Jeffsi: for the desktop edition [04:44] Jeffsi: i would also make sure the file is comlete and not messed up [04:44] i downloaded it via torrent so i would assume it wowuld be fine [04:45] commander1988199: no. it's always the same keyboard driver... [04:45] Hello guys, the default network manager seem like not showing all the available wifi .. is this a bug? any alternative for wifi manager? [04:45] Jeffsi: i had something like that happen before , i knew the disc was bad on a ubuntu desktop edition and i tried it anyway i got through the entire install and afterwards it started acting up [04:45] wols: okay. thanks [04:45] Jeffsi: check the md5sum still [04:45] ZykoticK9: yeah thats my frist screen, then after that its all blurry thanks for the link [04:45] Jeffsi: what wols said :) [04:45] alright, i am not entirely sure how to do this on a mac though [04:46] Jeffsi: the more i think about it, the more i suspect you may have a bad desktop edition iso image or maybe it burned bad === mauricio is now known as Guest66349 [04:46] Yusuke, an alternative NM is called wicd (not sure it would help you though) [04:46] I've made it so that my computer auto logs in to a user, but right after it logs in it has to ask for a password to access the keychain to get the wifi connection going... is there any way around having to punch in this password? [04:46] why the network manager not showing all available wifi? [04:47] karrot2: same thing happens to me, i have been too lazy to try and find an answer to why the keychain keeps poping up after login [04:47] karrot2, sure, turn autologon off ;) [04:47] wols: where is the alternate installer again? [04:47] !alternate | commander1988199 [04:47] commander1988199: 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 [04:47] ZykoticK9: ahhhhh!!! That is my solution to all my linux problems [04:48] Talaskina: i am unsure on how to do this on a mac though, i looked around and am not seeing all that much [04:48] Talaskina: if you ever find an answer... [04:48] Jeffsi: google md5sum checker for mac and whatever it tells you, then google md5sum ubuntu 10.04 desktop [04:48] ZykoticK9: thank you [04:48] Jeffsi: it also wouldnt hurt to google and read a quick how to article on md5sum comparing and what exactly it is you are doing its pretty simple in the end [04:49] karrot2: i was able to fix it before. if i find a solution and you are still on sure. [04:50] karrot2, the "actual" answer is to use Unsafe Password Storage (sorry i've forgotten how to enable/disable that) [04:50] Talaskina: i understand how it works and what not just not how to do it [04:51] ok try this [04:51] open up a cmd prompt [04:51] karrot2: google next time. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=920250 "ubuntu keychain password" [04:51] ZykoticK9: thank you, at least now I have something to google [04:51] Jeffsi: apple still lets you have cmd prompts right? [04:51] Jeffsi: i have never played with a mac :) [04:51] !md5sum | Jeffsi [04:51] Jeffsi: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:51] hi all, i'm a macbook5-1 running 11.04 having a few probs with steam [04:51] !md5sum [04:52] hello? [04:52] Jeffsi: from the cmd prompt it will look something like this : md5sum ubuntu-desktop-10.04.iso [04:52] Jeffsi, on Mac the command might be md5 and not md5sum BTW... [04:53] Jeffsi: and that will give you the string of text from the iso image and just google what the text should be. [04:53] wols: tried ctrl alt f2 however that just took me into the text mode. fromt here the screen still is blurry and the text is in the centre of the screen [04:53] Jeffsi: yea, never played with mac :) [04:54] i think its doing its thing [04:55] seriously... could someone point me to a dead simple, fool proof postfix smtp server setup?

Good luck. [04:55] wols: That look was good, but it assumes you punch in your password for login, which I'm not doing [04:56] could it be in your keychain settings? [04:56] ZykoticK9, I want to just say 'sudo apt-get install simple-single-user-mailserver' and be done [04:56] shit [04:56] (sorry for the foul language [04:56] pappa_bear_: damn good idea, I"m going to check that [04:57] Jeffsi: well the md5sum looks good [04:57] Jeffsi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [04:57] Talaskina: lol my cd drive is broken, i just put in the cd ive been trying to install with and it is saying its a blank [04:57] hm [04:58] CD could be bad [04:58] Jeffsi: yea, so maybe bad CD, but we maybe onto something [04:58] anyone know anything about Wine or Steam in particular? [04:58] pappa_bear_: like running steam on wine on linux? [04:59] !wine | pappa_bear_ [04:59] pappa_bear_: 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 [04:59] pappa_bear_: steam as in the game service? [04:59] yep [04:59] i know, i have a laptop here without a HDD, what if i put in the cd and asked it to check disk for defecs? [04:59] pappa_bear_: i can imagine that would be flaky as all heck [04:59] Jeffsi: that may work [04:59] Jeffsi: it couldnt hurt. [04:59] Talaskina: steam works fine, so people say [05:00] yes, the game service, i've got it running and installed but can't seem to configure the video to play anything [05:00] wols: thats suprising, i cant imagine something as complicated as steam actually working. but steam i guess wouldnt be the problem its running the games [05:00] i'm on a macbook 5-1 running 11.04 [05:00] pappa_bear_, "Join #winehq for application help" from factoid above [05:00] pappa_bear_: yea thats your best bet [05:00] exactly [05:01] thanks, later :) [05:01] Jeffsi: yea so check your CD, in that HDless laptop and see what it returns, your ISO is good but maybe it was a bad burn [05:02] next, lol [05:02] Talaskina: yea, i need to stop trusting this dvd drive until i get it fixed [05:02] Hi, iam trying to get a script to run after the machine starts by making an @reboot entry on crontab, the script deploys a web application on tomcat. i am using 10.04 and the script is not being run after reboots, what am i missing? [05:02] Talaskina: appdb.winehq.org [05:03] Anyone can help me installing a sony handicam as a webcam? [05:03] austinium_: why do you use cron for this? [05:03] did the CD turn out bad? [05:03] Jeffsi: cd bad? [05:04] it takes almost a minute for the war(web application archive) file to deploy, to so thought that adding it to cron so that it run after startup would prevent it from slowing down the startup process [05:04] Talaskina: so i have this all loaded up and tos telling me to either try or install ubuntu, i see no check option [05:04] Anyone can help me with webcam issues? [05:04] the other option would be to add it to /etc/rc.local? [05:04] Jeffsi: try md5sum /dev/sr0 ? [05:05] wols: that would give him a diff sum [05:05] austinium_: or even its own upstart script [05:05] from where, thers no cmd promp [05:05] !gpg [05:05] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [05:05] Jeffsi: ctrl+alt+f2 [05:05] wols: wouldn't it slow down startup? [05:05] wols: its the same data, but structure is diff from iso to CD, you will get a diff md5sum doing it that way [05:06] wols: at least i am pretty sure, i remember reading an article about this same thing a while back [05:06] austinium_: so does a cron script. you have to start it somehow, that always takes time [05:06] Talaskina: so how does the live cd do it? [05:06] Jeffsi: go to "try" then and check there [05:06] wols: it most likely carries a diff md5sum than what you would see on the site [05:06] wols:ok,i was under the impression that adding it to cron would let ubuntu boot first and then deploy it, guess i was wrong? [05:07] wols: the site is for the ISO md5sum, if you run a md5sum on a disc you will see differences, but you can always try it [05:07] austinium_: as I said: when cron starts it it still needs to start... and mangling startup procedure isn't really a gain [05:07] Hi #ubuntu [05:07] Anyone can help me with webcam issues? [05:07] wols: and if I am wrong :) its a good learning experience [05:08] this is taking a while [05:08] Jeffsi: CD is alot slower than HD [05:08] wols: /etc/rc.local should be fine then? [05:09] or, maybe theres a way to schedule the script to run after the system boots up? [05:09] my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it. ( Now using Pidgin). :) [05:09] Talaskina: i dont like cd, i have so many coasters because of them :( [05:09] me either [05:09] just get bigger hard drives :) [05:10] austinium_: yes works. best is its own upstart task as I said [05:10] Jeffsi: too bad no one has perfected a seamless, diskless network install over the internet. [05:10] Jeffsi: thats easy [05:10] i only use them for things like installs, lol i have a teribye in this small laptop :P [05:10] Jeffsi: not bad i have 250 in this one, but i have 2 desktops [05:11] wols: thanks :) one last question, hows creating an upstart task different from adding it to /etc/rc.local??? [05:11] i think my desktop has 1.5ish but thats mostly used for backups [05:11] Jeffsi: if you are feeling so inclined get multiple 1.5s and build an array out of them [05:12] austinium_: it's a separate task to start on bootup like others. upstart can better parallelize it [05:12] Jeffsi: pretty good learning experience to get a 10.04 server up and working with a raid, for a file server, <-did it, and i tinker with it sometime [05:12] Jeffsi: sometimes even [05:12] bazhang: r u there? [05:13] the output of the md5 was 477350cbea8936c63d587cf2be69181b /dev/sr0 [05:14] If you press ctr alt f1 to drop out of X and into shell whats the command to get back? [05:14] Jeffsi: well then i stand corrected [05:14] Jeffsi: hm, so the disk is good [05:14] my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it. ( Now using Pidgin). How to solve it? I tried deleting .xchat2 folder from Home. but no effect.............. [05:14] cool [05:14] kerebrus: usually alt+f7 or f8 [05:15] Jeffsi: you sure about the CD rom drive you are using to, well that wouldnt matter the server is fine [05:15] hello, how can i do if I want to write in the terminal "remove kde", but in reality is a long long long command line?. [05:15] Talaskina: id love to do that but i cant afford it at this time, lol im using a pice of cardboard for this case because i couldnt find the actual case side and cant buy a new cheap one [05:15] kerebrus: depends [05:15] dinkdink hm let me try that real quick, might have to come back lol. [05:15] Jeffsi: wow [05:15] Jeffsi: interesting, trying to think of something else that would possibly be your cause. [05:16] dinkdink alt f8 worked [05:16] Jeffsi: sorry i just cant think of anything beyond this point, you have good discs, the drive appears to be working fine for now, [05:16] maybe the PSU not giving enough power but im not sure if theres a diference in power consumption with the 2 versions [05:17] kerebrus: on mine it's f7.. === Nickkkkk is now known as Luxe [05:17] Jeffsi: no there shouldnt be, [05:17] dinkdink mine just set there with f7 [05:17] Jeffsi: and you cant swap out cd drives at this time. so [05:17] Anyone can help me with webcam issues? [05:17] wait what was that [05:18] i have like 3 or 4 cd drives but im using this 1 because im sure its working great [05:18] Jeffsi: swapping CD drives? [05:18] Jeffsi: it couldnt hurt if you wanted. [05:18] i could try a diferent 1 though [05:18] kerebrus: if you take x down, e.g. sudo service gdm stop and then start it back up, e.g. sudo service gdm start it tends to relocate but there is no harm in going through all the f keys to find it [05:18] Jeffsi: personally i dont think its the issue, BUT with that being said we have elimited all the other more probable causes [05:18] Jeffsi: that we know of [05:19] Jeffsi: one thing i have learned is never dismiss the improbable after you have gone through everything else. === chalcedo- is now known as chalcedony [05:19] dinkdink yea I killed X then startx, but what looking for a way to not close all my apps and windows, thanks for the info. [05:19] alright, its hooked up, lets try this [05:22] kerebrus, keeping apps going between logouts is tricky (i don't know of a way to do it with GUI apps) for CLI stuff there is "screen" [05:22] Talaskina: i have ubuntu loadig screen so far [05:22] shut off [05:23] Jeffsi: same issue? [05:23] Talaskina: yup [05:24] can I make some kind of alias using "remove xxxxx" and in reality is a long list of packages? [05:24] ZykoticK9: Xnest or some vnc trickery might do it. but all are hacks, and when you need 3D it cannot work afaik [05:24] JCDG: a script? [05:25] syrinx_: yeah I think so [05:25] JCDG: just write a bash script and run it :D [05:25] syrinx_: but how do I make it permanet? [05:26] JCDG: I don't understand what you mean by that? [05:26] Talaskina: what makes me think this may possibly be hardware or compatibility issue is the fact that this cd works fine so far in this laptop [05:26] syrinx_: uhm, I mean, instead of doing a ./xxxx I will just write "remove XXX" and the script runs. [05:27] Jeffsi: maybe, [05:27] JCDG: then you need to write a script named "remove" [05:27] ^ [05:28] thats really not worth the trouble/security issue [05:28] JCDG, why would you need to run removals more then once (on the same machine)? If you create a ~/bin directory and place your script in there - it "should" be in your path. [05:28] Talaskina: any ideas? [05:28] my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it. ( Now using Pidgin). How to solve it? I tried deleting .xchat2 folder from Home. but no effect.............. [05:28] is there a way to run 11.04 with the user interface that was standard with 10.04? [05:28] Jeffsi: have any extra CDs? [05:28] !classic | nessus [05:28] nessus: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [05:28] Jeffsi: oh, [05:28] Jeffsi: try this- [05:29] thank you rww [05:29] Jeffsi: try just for the sake of it, linuxmint i forget which version is the equivelent to 10.04 [05:29] linuxmint? [05:30] Jeffsi: yea its the same thing as ubuntu but they tweak it a bit, try it out, its close enough to test and see tho [05:30] ive never herd of it [05:30] Jeffsi: its an off shoot of ubuntu [05:30] Jeffsi: i run it, its pretty good. [05:30] I am trying to install a webcam but cheese can't recognize it. lsusb command trows "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0595:4343 Zoran Microelectronics, Ltd Digital Camera EX-20 DSC" [05:30] Jeffsi: all the same software just a few extras, try it and see if the desktop will install properly. [05:31] syrinx_: wols I want to install all the desktops eviroments of ubuntu, that's the easy part but removing them is the hard part. It's just a "apt-install kubuntu-desktop" but to remove that is a pain. [05:31] Talaskina: i think i may be out of cds [05:31] this board does support usb i think but im not sure how to do that [05:31] Jeffsi: hm [05:31] Jeffsi: not sure about that one. [05:32] JCDG: thats a bad way of going about it [05:32] you'd be better off using a VM or liveusbs/cds [05:32] syrinx_: that's right........ i removed Gnome+Unity and installed XFCE but everything went out of control and I end up installing Xubuntu instead. :) [05:33] syrinx_: gulzar: in fact I'm removing kde in favor of xfce. [05:33] gulzar: exactly, you end up with a broken system [05:34] !purexfce [05:34] If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [05:34] syrinx_: why does this happen if kde an gnome should not have common desktop packages? [05:34] note: I have not ever actually done that (I use a different, convoluted method), so ymmv. [05:35] cool man cool, ps -C Xorg shows which tty X is on [05:35] ls [05:35] take care going. [05:35] Talaskina: what does it usually mean if a computer shuts off regardless of the os? [05:35] JCDG: conflicting packages? [05:36] JCDG: nice..... then gud will be installing XFCE and not doing this conversion......its not that good till. THEY need to make a easy method . :( [05:36] Jeffsi: overheating [05:36] broken fan, etc [05:37] syrinx_: i dont think overheating is the issure bease the bios tells me it is running at 32-36C always [05:37] syrinx_: yeah, conflicting, shared, whatever the name is. I mean, the conflict shuld not exist. [05:37] JCDG: Try pureXFCE but do have a backup of important data and your /home........ [05:37] Evening all... I'm attempting to make my own MIDI device. I'm using a microcontroller with an FTDI chip to make a virtual serial port (/dev/ttyUSB0). I can, using a serial terminal, get MIDI data from the microcontroller at whatever baud I set. However, I can't get any program to recognize a MIDI device. NOTEMIDI doesn't compile (I'm on 10.04) and spikenzielabs' serial-MIDI driver doesn't see any serial ports. Any advice? [05:37] Jeffsi: I had that problem with a HP machine, and it was overheating, I had to use a paper sheet as a "abanico" to cool it. [05:38] gulzar: pure xfce meaning "install xfce"? [05:39] JCDG: yes ! but they have instructions to remove KDE and Gnome. I followed them and got a nice broken system ..... No prob try it but FIRST make a BACKUP . :) [05:39] JCDG: lol well the heatsync has a fan on it so i dont think ill need to do that [05:40] wat. [05:40] Jeffsi: could also be bad memory [05:40] bad hard drive maybe [05:41] gulzar: I tried the one on psycocats and worked partially because the there was an issue with some dependat packages of open-jdk, but I could sove that. No I just have Unity and Uity-2d [05:42] Jeffsi: in BIOS, it's idle. when it boots it runs stuff, even when it's mostly I/O bound [05:42] gulzar: I want to keep unity, unity-2d and gnome, and install xfce, and the lxde... [05:43] JCDG: the point of that is? [05:43] JCDG: yup! issues are there....... I think we have to wait a little bit for stability in CONVERSION...... and thanks to make me remember about installing jdk 8-) [05:43] wols: alright, what would you think it is then? [05:44] JCDG: then its not a problem........ If you want to keep all DE then simply install them from Software Manager. I did this with Gnome+KDE+e17 [05:44] was wondering in I have a .sh that i run in the term to disable my touchpad what would I use to make it run at boot I made it like this i wrote this xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0 and named it disabletouchpad.sh now i opened startup and put the xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0 in the cmd to be run and nothing , I also pointed it to the .sh itself and nothing and by nothing i mean it didnt worl .so what am i doing wrong [05:45] hi guys === rannmann`dt is now known as rannmann [05:45] i am getting following error while committing svn [05:45] svn: 'var/cache' is not a working copy === eliezer is now known as eliezer_ [05:45] Is there a list of supported webcams for ubuntu? [05:45] syrinx_: I just want to try them all and see which one fits better with my notebook. gulzar: you're welcome! [05:46] IS THERE ANY GIRL HERE? I have only seen boys ............. (don't take it in wrong way)........ Just want to know if any girl is ..... [05:47] gulzar: The gender of channel participants is offtopic for this channel. I recommend not asking. [05:47] gulzar: don't do that [05:47] JCDG: open software mamager and search for KDE, XFCE4, e17. Can also try adding ppa for unity2D [05:47] Does anyone know in which file ~/bin gets added to my path? I haven't added it manually in either of .bashrc or .bash_profile or anything !!!! [05:47] Jeffsi: it still sounds like hardware. I'd run a memtest86 and check the exhaust fan for it getting too hot. if windows is still installed, run prime95 there [05:48] Is there a list of supported webcams for ubuntu? [05:48] rww: Ok. But I asked to know if there is any girl using Linux and is on Xchat. I am not interested in username or chat. Just want to know if there is any? [05:48] wols: hmmm, it just shut off with the server disk going [05:48] !webcam > faryshta [05:48] faryshta, please see my private message [05:48] gulzar: yes, there is [05:49] Jeffsi: define "shut off" [05:49] gulzar: You are not taking my hint. That is not a particularly good idea. [05:49] syrinx_: Ok....... nice ;-) [05:49] rww: I understand that. O:-) [05:51] wols: the computer turns off as if i held the power button, fans spin down, HDDs spin down, etc [05:51] Jeffsi: acpi or hardware issue (like overheating) [05:51] Jeffsi: that's what happens of you long press POWERBUTTON........ [05:52] I have two problems with my bluetooth keyboard (MS Bluetooth 6000). It will work fine, and then it locks on a key (lllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiike tttttttthis!!!!!!!!!!!), and it becomes unusable. The other problem is it will stop responding (usually after a period of brief inactivity). Turning off the keyboard and turning it back on resolves both problems temporarily [05:52] Jeffsi: what machine is it? [05:52] gulzar: There are women who use GNU/Linux, yes. [05:53] im not sure, do u want mobo model? [05:54] yes. does it always shut off at the same time? [05:54] wols: i think this was made by gigabyte but it has parts frm other computers that i threw in [05:54] lshw tells you [05:54] or under windows, cpu-z for example [05:55] rypervenche: thanks..........actually around One year back I spoke to one of them, but never again to any other..... its always boys. Just checking about the usage %. No other intension [05:55] gulzar, thats enough. [05:55] wols: what was that [05:56] bazhang: about what? [05:56] bazhang: o/ [05:56] wols: no its at diferent times and the mobo is a ga-81pe1000-g [05:57] Jeffsi: tried the alternate installer? [05:57] tried other (live) CDs? [05:58] wols: no, i ran out of cd's and am unsure how to do usb booting [06:00] set first boot devic to usb-hdd and boot from usb. done :) [06:00] my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it.

[06:01] gulzar, try #xchat [06:01] anyone got a secret for making iphone syncing work in natty and beyond? [06:02] bazhang: I mean the software shows - Connected. Now logging in... and that's it . no more messages and no connection [06:02] greets [06:03] gulzar: yes, go ask #xchat. #freenode might know too.

[06:05] wrong chan I assume. kk thanks anyway. [06:11] goodmorning to all of u (here it's 8:11am) === dave is now known as Guest79005 [06:14] Does the 64bit version of Ubuntu use more RAM than the 32bit? [06:15] I hope so [06:15] don't think so [06:15] wildgoose: I meant just doing nothing, like Windows 7 [06:15] Name141 do u use 32bit version? [06:15] korben: Yes. [06:15] well [06:15] once i log in [06:16] and all the fancy stuff come up :P [06:16] like cairo dock.. [06:16] etc [06:16] it occupies like 600/2000 [06:16] Name141, all 64bit systems will both use and support more RAM then 32bit - nature of the beast i'm afraid [06:16] i have 2Gb of ram [06:17] ZykoticK9: So I should stick to 32bit till I get over 2GBs of RAM no matter what OS it seems. [06:17] Name141, probably until you have 4GB really [06:17] Name141 if u don't like the fancy stuff [06:17] u can use it with 1024 as well. [06:17] Name141, 64bit is faster for SOME things however [06:18] ZykoticK9: I figure this E2160 wont make much differences on either/or 32/64 [06:18] what cpu do u have? [06:18] I am trying to setup NoMachine but I'm getting "Authentication failed for user", my pastebin for the server side connections looks like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/630234/ [06:19] Name141, i am running 64bit on my EEE with only 1GB RAM (don't see much advantage however) [06:19] korben: I said E2160. [06:23] ZykoticK9: Although the Athlon 2 X4 system flies with 64 bit (32 bit does too.) I figure I'll just use 32bit. [06:24] (Er on this one) === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [06:27] Can't mount samba shares on ubuntu server. anyone help? [06:29] So i have a quick question, i have a cr48 running 11.04 that cant seem to handle any bitrate for internet streams. Everything is updated as far as i can see and Im guessing more information would be needed but has any one seen any issuse like this solved? If i had to guess i dont have something installed right? As a test i had a hp notebook and an android phone stream the same stream with perfect quality and no buffering. [06:31] greetings ubuntu channel. Does anyone know if there is a way to obtain a graphical output from a fingerprint scanner in linux? For instance using twain + gimp?

[06:37] saidian, this might sound asinine but I have to update quite often after installing the latest samba share software in ubuntu [06:37] I ma using ubuntu classic without effect [06:38] saidian, if you heve not updated after installing samba try that and it *might work [06:38] saidian, everything will *appear to be working, only it *wont work until I update [06:39] mobius420, I have run "apt-get update" several times. [06:39] saidian, kk just makin sure :) [06:39] mobius420, np [06:40] saidian, does the share work via nautilus?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

[06:49] rww: I never know what's offtopic -- even when it's Ubuntu related. Thought I'd try something new. [06:49] agrundner: If it's an Ubuntu technical support question or an answer to same, it's ontopic for here. [06:50] mobius420, been running since 11.04 came out. Share's just quit about 2 weeks ago. [06:50] saidian, kk [06:51] agrundner: minor offtopic stuff happens in here - but it is rare, and is dependant on what shadow OP's are in here [06:53] RevSpecies116: I vote for making #ubuntu-offtopic > #ubuntu AND #ubuntu > #ubuntu-support [06:54] mobius420, fstab= //192.168.1.130/Drobo/Software /mnt/software cifs credentials=/root/.credentials [06:55] I actually think this IRC channel should be more integrated into Ubuntu as a whole - great support here, and live too... [06:58] Just checked - at least 6 complicated clicks [reading guff, scrolling down, knowing what you are doing] are needed to get here from the (?) Help button on 10.04LTS. Who would I raise that with rww to make it easier to get here for all concerned?

[07:15] Gump, you could reset it with a jumper removal === DandyKoffin is now known as J7 [07:17] hello [07:17] Hi pehden [07:17] Gump: you have a jumper on your motherboard you can use to reset the BIOS [07:18] Gump: laptops are different. often it helps there to remove battery and power cord then press power button for a long time [07:19] Or take power and bios battery out and leave it half an hour [07:19] I think i have the weirdest issue that i have never seen before. Well any one from any ip address not local to my LAN can access my web site hosted localy [07:20] Pehden: have you added any firewall rules? [07:20] nope [07:20] even changed the lan ip addresses to see if that was the case [07:20] wols, yeah it's a laptop. removing the CMOS battery did it. thanks [07:21] Gump, glad that worked [07:21] Was about to recommend the same thing lol [07:21] heh. ty [07:21] Pehden: can you connect to the socket with telnet? [07:22] i can ping the local ip and connect to the local ip and see the default site not set up page i have on the server but if i type in the domain name it fails with a time out on any pc in my LAN [07:23] even tried useing a custom dns as in google and even opendns same thing [07:23] pehden: normal. consumer routers DNS and DNS sucks. put it in your /etc/hosts file. all you can do [07:24] DNS and NAT that is. btw: buy a linux based router and it will work :) [07:24] its an Arris Dosis 3 [07:24] its new [07:25] as i have been told [07:25] Wols: not great if the pc is mobile and you try access the name outside of the home lan, but yeah most home grade routers suck [07:25] 50 mbps [07:25] thats the thing i can access the sites from some one elses wifi just not my own [07:26] it's still crap with some proprietary crappy OS [07:26] how messed up is that lol [07:26] yes. cause the NAT on it doesn't work right [07:26] ActionParsnip, i have a linksys wireless N with DD-WRT, love it [07:26] linksys i thought was linux based [07:27] it is xD [07:27] ahh' [07:27] pehden: only some. and they suck compared to the others available usually [07:27] i tried to mod my old wrt54g [07:27] pehden, ive modded over 50 of those now [07:27] Afteraffekt: me to but stock firmware. Try playing with huge backbone cisco routers. Good fun [07:28] its in a closet now though lol [07:28] ActionParsnip, I will NOT mess wit another Cisco Rack Router [07:28] this router has anoption that says [07:28] 8 hours in control panel to find 1 line messed up = never again [07:28] Afteraffekt: hehe [07:29] I wish i could fix this! [07:29] Afteraffekt: its like a single character error in C++ [07:29] ActionParsnip, I felt i was doing C++ 4 hours in lol [07:30] hi [07:30] why do I get No username specified when I have the line //campus01/mtozses /mnt/t cifs credentials=/root/.mtozses 0 0 in /etc/fstab? [07:31] is that in your fstab? [07:31] Kartagis: is the credentials file owned by root:root and chmodded 600 [07:32] accolade: it's 644 [07:32] ActionParsnip: * [07:32] is that why? [07:33] Kartagis: also check syntax of the file, don't add spaces in it === MadSweeney is now known as Guest37600 [07:33] ActionParsnip, i see whats wrong [07:34] ActionParsnip: username=user [07:34] password=pass [07:34] Kartagis: 644 is fine. 600 is just safer as random users cannot read the file [07:34] Kartagis, is the username in the credentials file? [07:34] Afteraffekt: yes [07:34] Kartagis: looks fine. Not sure. Ill sniff around [07:34] Kartagis, whats your syntax for that .mo file [07:35] Afteraffekt: .mo?? [07:35] /root/.mtozses [07:35] sorr === astralja1a is now known as astraljava [07:35] username=user [07:35] password=pass [07:36] Afteraffekt: ^^ [07:36] and its set to 644? [07:37] Afteraffekt: yes [07:37] did you made the file as root? or standard user? [07:37] if you made it as root, fstab wont see it cause it uses system:system i believe [07:37] Afteraffekt: I used sudo vim /root/.mtozses [07:37] that might be why [07:37] can you try to remake it not as root? [07:37] Afteraffekt: chown? [07:38] I work at Cisco :S [07:38] no you don't [07:38] Yeah ;) [07:39] Afteraffekt: I wrote it as normal user, same [07:39] Kartagis, no clue then [07:39] syrinx_: That should be offtopic... [07:40] yes it should [07:40] Sorry! [07:41] JCDG: pretty late, its all good [07:41] how to connect .dbf with gambas [07:41] how to connect .dbf with gambas [07:41] 1st time call/1st time listener here. [07:41] ScanMan: ahoy [07:42] how to connect .dbf with gambas [07:42] hey guys! if I get "├──" instead of a tree char |- in my terminal, what might be wrong? :) [07:42] Ahoyhoy Syrinx [07:42] realgod, repeating doesnt help [07:42] yep i know [07:42] Afteraffekt: +1 [07:42] thx [07:44] first off, whats gambas? [07:44] gambas is like the linux equivalent of visual basic i think [07:44] oh [07:45] yes it si [07:45] so opening a dpf file with it is #ubuntu's problem [07:45] doubt it [07:45] i just downloaded it like a half hour ago [07:45] but i havent tried it out yet [07:45] Silly question... What package would I need to install to play DVD's?? Using Karmic Koala. [07:46] need help tittle bar is getting missing in all windows then i have to replace metacity and logout always [07:46] VLC? [07:46] mplayer, totem, vlc etc [07:46] argh [07:46] wsagent are you trying to use compiz? [07:46] ScanMan, mplayer, totem, vlc [07:46] one of those as mknix said [07:47] wsagent question. why do u switch window managers? [07:47] :P [07:47] is anyone here [07:47] ? [07:47] probably often? [07:47] nope. [07:47] What does a small patent key symbol next to a »Partition« entry /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda7 in GParted mean? [07:47] Hey, how come in ubuntu server 11.04, it says samba isn't installed right after I installed Samba 3.5.8 and it wants me to install Samba 4? [07:48] what version of ubuntu should i run for my t420 laptpo? [07:48] arooni-mobile: Ubuntu 10.04. [07:48] andantino: korben: i am using mac theme and compiz also [07:48] bullgard4, why not the 11.04 guy? [07:48] wsagent then why do u replace metacity? [07:49] for getting my tittle bar back [07:49] when you use compiz certain themes will now work [07:49] oh [07:49] not [07:49] arooni-mobile: It is not as stable. You will have more trouble setting it up. [07:49] your close buttons disappear right [07:49] bullgard4, what program are you using to look at the partition ? [07:49] and maximize, etc [07:49] lapion: GParted. [07:49] wsagent i have the same issue at logon but only once every 100 startups [07:50] no it shows different but then i logout and reloging then will get ok [07:50] the compiz fails to load [07:50] bullgard4, could you please explain patent key symbol .. [07:50] do u have the latest of compiz? [07:50] korben oho is there any permanant solution for it ? [07:51] yes i have the latest compiz [07:51] well i have noticed wsagent that it happens in SOME themes .. [07:51] i prefer the old fashioned window switcher [07:51] u can always have the compiz icon on the notification area always visible [07:51] and reload the compiz from there [07:52] lapion: Yes. A »patent key symbol« looks like a modern small key made from steel which you use to open a house door. [07:52] but i tell u .. nowadays it happens to me only once in 100 startups so it doesn't bother me [07:52] i don't know any other solution [07:52] bullgard4: It means that the partition in question cannot be modified because its filesystem is in use, i.e. mounted. [07:52] bullgard4: that means the partition is encrypted [07:53] or, what Jordan_U said [07:53] korben thanks for that tip any way i will keep compiz icon always appear [07:53] wsagent so that u don't have to relogin or open xterm etc [07:53] to reload compiz [07:53] hi [07:53] hihihi [07:53] if you want to modify the partition you would probably use a live cd, or do it from another OS if you run one [07:53] so what pdf viewer to use? [07:54] korben yeah i got it thanks [07:54] actually now that u mentioned it wsagent it has not happened to me the last 3 months :P [07:54] bullgard4, I have googled for patent key symbol images however nothing appears to be clear with regards to what it looks like [07:54] Any ideas. I just upgraded my motherboards firmware and some linux/ubuntu CDs won't boot anymore. Windows 7 and Scientific Linux 6 cds boot just fine. [07:54] martianixor: depends on your needs and so on. is the current one causing you problems? [07:54] i always thought that symbol was like a lock not a key [07:54] andantino: it IS a lock [07:54] hateball: unfortunately ... ALL OF THEM [07:55] martianixor: openoffice pdf? [07:55] martianixor: Personally I run KDE, and use Okular... and I dont have any issues that I know of [07:55] korben ok let me try to count it now onwards [07:55] i dont even use gparted anymore so i cant remember [07:55] hateball: lucky you [07:55] martianixor: what seems to be the problem then? [07:55] hateball: my guess is that it's some library ... [07:55] hateball: segmentation fault [07:55] wsagent change some themes and observe [07:56] lapion: Here is a picture of a patent key: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://img2.photographersdirect.com/img/19309/wm/pd2030243.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.photographersdirect.com/buyers/stockphoto.asp%3Fimageid%3D2030243&usg=__1tg8hgmz08YHCwkbjXW__DlC1cE=&h=335&w=500&sz=25&hl=de&start=31&zoom=1&tbnid=zlmAEI96tHd0RM:&tbnh=133&tbnw=194&ei=QkAATtihOsXAswbmquSSDQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522pat [07:56] ent%2Bkey%2522%26hl%3Dde%26sa%3DG%26as_st%3Dy%26biw%3D1050%26bih%3D616%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=602&vpy=329&dur=6950&hovh=184&hovw=274&tx=125&ty=120&page=3&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:31&biw=1050&bih=616 [07:56] bullgard4: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:56] korban will try that too [07:56] bullgard4: whoa [07:56] ive never seen that before [07:56] hi [07:56] martianixor: oh, no pdf viewer will start at all? [07:56] heya neil [07:56] Jordan_U: Thank yiu for explaining. [07:57] hateball: Not really :-S [07:57] i'm new here [07:57] Neil: iH [07:57] hi adantino [07:57] sup syrinx [07:57] hateball: well if I didn't feed it a file may be [07:57] bullgard4: You're welcome. [07:57] hateball: let me check [07:57] korben do you know any proxy software to unblock government blocked sites [07:57] you can try CyberGhostVpen Wsagent [07:57] VPn* [07:57] Thanks neil [07:57] hateball: well xpdf, epdfview both start without a file [07:57] hateball: but not evince [07:58] yw [07:58] martianixor: well both evince and okular use the poppler libs, so I guess that might be broken [07:58] Neil How can i get it from where can i download ? [07:58] umm [07:58] hold one [07:58] but before that [07:58] wsagent: tor is good as long as you don't need much bandwidth. [07:58] its a paid service [07:58] hateball: right now you're able to use okular aren't you? [07:58] wsagent government blocked sites? no , i am sorry but my government doesn't have blocked sites so.. [07:58] Neil: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:58] for extra features [07:58] martianixor: I am [07:58] is it a mistake that 11.04 can't add other partitions not listed in the box (custom) partitions during install: I did it any way after but what a pain [07:58] but u can use the free service [07:59] hateball: also I'm on 11.04 what about you? [07:59] which is equally food [07:59] !enter | Neil [07:59] Neil: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:59] hey syrinx_, i remember you, you helped me out a couple months ago [07:59] good* [07:59] martianixor: So am I [07:59] andantino: :D yes I did! [07:59] i did get arch running on an old computer [07:59] hmmm I guess I'll check okular [07:59] Jodab>U: but tor is not working for me [07:59] andantino: awesome, PM me or come to #ubuntu-offtopic to talk about it! [08:00] wsagent... here's the link to CyberGhostVpn [http://cyberghostvpn.com/] its a free service..but for extra features you need to pay up [08:00] martianixor: Okular depends on a lot of KDE libs, so be warned if you're one of those "I dont want to install lots of libs" guys ;) [08:00] bullgard4, I do not see how gparted could display such detailed graphics images, as gparted does not have the capability to display images [08:00] hateball: yeah no worries I got'em [08:00] what's this new menu system? unity? I want my old menu system back [08:01] hi all - anyone else had trouble opening telnet, or indeed IRC, links straight from firefox in 11.04? FF version 4.01 [08:01] can i join multiple rooms at once ? [08:01] Kartagis - select 'classic' at login [08:01] hateball: now okular starts and opens the file but not evince [08:01] Kartagis: logout of unity / choose the old gnome v2 and log in :) [08:01] Neil but that site is blocked here [08:01] Neil, no... irc doesn't have "rooms" [08:01] which country you in? wsagent [08:01] UAE [08:01] hateball: nor any of the other ones I've mentioned [08:01] bullgard4, at least gparted cannot do anything with visual images, only partition managing of imaged hdd's work [08:01] Neil, but you can join multiple channels at once [08:01] martianixor: yeah... sorry I dont know what might be wrong then. I only run KDE :/ [08:02] lapion: Therefore I used the name »symbol". A »patent key symbol« is an abstraction of a real »patent key«. [08:02] new to this thing mate.. i'm trying to catch up :) [08:02] logout unity? how? [08:02] oh, logout system [08:02] yes [08:02] hateball: It's OK :) at least I got something to read the k-computer-project-overview.pdf file [08:02] Neil, well, learn tab-completion too then ;) [08:02] martianixor: :) [08:02] jimjam: can I switch to classic and back anytime I want? [08:02] hateball: which is the REAL stable version of KDE 4??? [08:02] Neil i am in UAE [08:02] hateball: thanks for mentioning okular :) [08:03] Kartagis: yes [08:03] wsagent .. the govt probably blocked that site too.. well i can give you a software its a trial version though..it hides your ip, should work hopefully [08:03] yay [08:03] jking2: I'm not having any issues with 4.6, stability-wise [08:03] Kartagis everytime u login there is a session option below username and password. u choose from there anytime :) [08:03] Neil thanks a lot [08:04] hateball: How did you manage the widgets? did you use them a lot?. [08:04] wsagent...you won't be able to access the site though, coz its probably blocked too . most of the proxy sites in the middle east are blocked [08:04] lapion: the live cd with fluxbox can [08:04] neil yeah you are true [08:04] jking2: I use a rather low amount of plasmoids. Not sure what you mean by "manage" them tho. [08:04] Does anyone in here know how to get MAME to cooperate? [08:05] ghsh, the live cd with fluxbox can what ? [08:06] lapion: sorry Lag -- show images [08:06] xterm -e telnet %h %p [08:06] Neil: can you provide me the software that you told me before for hiding IP [08:06] sorry! [08:06] what do %h and %p mean in "xterm -e telnet %h %p" - a config entry in firefox [08:06] should i post the link here? its a trial version btw.. will work for 14 days and then you'll have to pay for it [08:07] gparted displays graphic images on the live cd of fluxbox ? [08:07] hateball: I meant that if you did not had any trouble with them, I used to had KDE 4.6 and I don't quite know if my netbook was to slow to handle all the plasmoids correctly or if this was a KDE issue. [08:07] ghsh, [08:07] neil i couldn't see the link [08:07] Will ubuntu work on the Dell XPS core i7 2630, 10809, nvidia 525 optimus ? [08:07] Neil: how did you know that most of the proxying sites are blocked in the MEA ? [08:08] 1080P [08:08] he is a government official :P [08:08] martianxor because i am from MEA [08:08] korben: negative [08:08] :-S [08:08] lapion: no the live cd uses fluxbox as the desktop -- and fluxbox can [08:08] they are, the govt has blocked almost all the proxy sites to prevent people from bypassing the filters. === Heval is now known as JDuke128 [08:09] bullgard4, well most likely it's not a patent key, but simply a key symbol to symbolize that the partition is locked by the fact that it is mounted.... [08:09] wonder how they can block tor or freenet [08:09] swearing swearing censorship and filters [08:09] question. why does a goverment block a website? [08:09] korben: cause it violates some law or other [08:09] err [08:09] official laws or unofficial ones [08:09] ghsh, the ubuntu live cd can also show images but gparted cannot so it's irrelevant [08:09] wols I tried tor and freenet both are not working here [08:10] you need to properly configure tor to make it work [08:10] i wish my government could block m$%^&*soft.com [08:10] lapion: yes a sad joke long lost my friend [08:10] wols: and why would be there a law or other that will be violated if you visited a website??? [08:10] :P [08:10] yeah i mean afterall u are a visitor [08:10] ghsh, it's totally offtopic, and has absolutely no funny merits [08:10] ah he answered already by saying [08:11] it doesn't mean that u agree with the opinions refered [08:11] ... or unofficial ones [08:11] btw, i'm new here and how do i join multiple channels at once [08:11] martianixor: cause its the law. if you visit a website with child pornography (for the obvious example), it's illegal in every country in the world [08:11] anyone know where the telnet executable is in the filesystem? [08:11] wols: seriously? illegal ??? [08:11] is there any software available that will batch-zip files individually? [08:11] lapion: ok then [08:11] wols: :D very strange [08:11] Neil: /j #anotherchannel [08:11] ty qin [08:11] martianixor: yes. in EU, north america, all islamic countries. basically all countries over the globe [08:11] They even blocked deviantart 1x.com orkut and all po&n [08:12] jimjam: type: which telnet [08:12] wols: cause somehow their filters doesn't seem to be blocking those [08:12] martianixor, here in sweden we have laws that makes it illegal to visit sites with childporno [08:12] bullgard4, or maybe it's just a symbol for a partition that's either hidden or it's a symbol used in the name of the partition either way try to google it [08:12] is there any software available that will batch-zip files individually? [08:12] wsagent: Get yourself vps, and tunnel conection via ssh [08:12] Mandrew: I know that and I'm aware that they've even been taking care of that especially lately [08:12] qin: just normal telnet :) [08:13] Sterist: What are you trying to do, exactly? [08:13] hey :) [08:13] Mandrew: and it's good [08:13] Hi i have notebook and build in microphone and cardreader are not working, already deleted pulseaudio, but still no effect. [08:13] Mandrew: but it's not blocked everywhere [08:13] jimjam: Command is: which telnet (to find binary) [08:13] my system has become very slow , i have 11.04 , would someone pls tell me how to fix it [08:13] martianixor, im not saying its bad ;) [08:13] qin can you help in this more [08:13] yeah wsagent, the main reason behind blocking was porn lol.. sad but true :p [08:13] corey i have about 200 powerpoints from the past few years of work and i need them zipped into their own files, not in one archive [08:13] qin: haha fantastic thankyou! [08:14] martianixor: Are you trying to access websites that are blocked in your part of the world? [08:14] Sterist: for i in `find /path/to/files`; do zip $i; done [08:14] Sterist: Change the zip flags to taste. [08:14] martianixor: no. often it is not, but sometimes it is. the main users of blocking are repressive governments, islamic ones, china, etc [08:14] Mandrew: no no my point is in some parts of the world what's supposed to be open is being blocked while what should be blocked is available ... [08:14] corey is this part of bash? [08:14] lapion: I agree with your statement: [09:09] bullgard4, well most likely it's not a patent key, but simply a key symbol to symbolize that the partition is locked by the fact that it is mounted...." [08:14] martianixor, true [08:14] How is this not being sent to off-topic? [08:14] Sterist: Yes. [08:14] Sterist: Although zip is a separate binary. [08:15] RevSpecies116: Oh yeah is a problem with that? [08:15] is there* [08:15] my system has become very slow , i have 11.04 , would someone pls tell me how to fix it [08:15] What's DRM and why is it bad?

[08:19] At a terminal: mono [08:19] wols: i didnt got you [08:19] arooni-mobile: 11.04 [08:19] If that don't work, mono doesn't support the app [08:19] Isn't mono for compiling the application? . I have a file in the .msi format which is ready to install [08:19] how do i make it work [08:20] Neil: Isn't ".net" a Windows term? [08:20] i can send the file for u guys to check out [08:20] it is [08:20] mono .msi [08:20] neil: no it's not. and installers are different again. try to install via WINE [08:20] wols, 64 bit ? i have 4gb now and may go to 6 or 8gb [08:20] !pm | Leofelix [08:20] Leofelix: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [08:20] Hi i have notebook and build in microphone and cardreader are not working, in alsamixer there are FRONT MIC and DOCK MIC, only selections are LINE IN or MIC IN [08:20] arooni-mobile: sure [08:20] Neil: mono is a framework [08:21] neil: mono is .NET, not all windows applications use .NET, and not all that use .NET are compatible with mono [08:21] well i have this program which I'm trying to run, and it doesn't seem to work with Wine :/ [08:21] !repeat > maxy1 [08:21] maxy1, please see my private message [08:21] wols: thanks [08:21] Hi i have notebook and build in microphone and cardreader are not working, already deleted pulseaudio, but still no effect. [08:22] \quit See u later people [08:22] Neil - it is not supported, then. No need to run it [08:22] !wine | neil [08:22] neil: 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 [08:22] has anyone had any luck getting legacy support for g77 in 11.04 [08:22] !pm > neil [08:22] neil, please see my private message [08:22] maxy1: you may need to re-install pulse audio! [08:23] jking2: I would say your netbook is too slow then. I'm using a bunch of plasmoids, and a fair amount of desktop effects on my... 4-5 year old laptop and there's no problem. It does have proper GL acceleration tho [08:23] I tried running it with WIne, it does install it self , but doesn't run [08:23] because of it the sound wasnt working [08:23] Neil - where did it get installed? [08:23] neil: install with wine, run with mono [08:23] C drive i guess [08:24] maxy1 - there may be no way you can get support unless you have a 'default' ubuntu install [08:24] hateball: It's an atom at 1.66 Ghz, with 2 Gigs Ram. How do I know if I have the proper GL acceleration? [08:24] removing pulse audio makes your Ubuntu not a 'default' environment [08:24] MonoDevelop 2.4 ? i have it installed.. after i open the program how do i run the .executable ? [08:24] so you may have to re-install pulseaudio to get support [08:25] Neil, open a terminal [08:25] neil: not monodevelop but mono. different thing [08:25] And cd to the installed directory of the executable [08:25] hello all, im having a severe problem after updating today, after my one computer rebooted and came back, its giving me a plain grey login prompt and saying that there was an installation problem, i can't log in to either user account on the machine [08:25] and then type: mono [08:25] jking2: glxinfo |less [08:26] gartral: saying what problem? [08:26] wols: should I see the gears? [08:26] jking2: "the gears" don't mean anything at all [08:26] Leofelix: test [08:26] salut [08:27] !test [08:27] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [08:27] RevSpecies116: may I PM? [08:27] how do i install Mono, i have mono develop installed :/ [08:27] how do I sent a message that shows red to a user? [08:27] Hello. [08:27] How to set the default editor is vim? [08:27] yes martianixor [08:27] wols: configuration problems: the defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly [08:28] Neil - mono is a part of the Ubuntu default install [08:28] What Ubuntu you running, Neil? [08:28] 11.04 Wubi installer [08:28] Hi [08:28] afaty what do you mean by default? don't you need to open it in xterm? [08:28] wols: i CAN login from command-line [08:28] then you use the terminal: mono [08:28] EASY! [08:28] Lefelix: yes [08:29] can i pm u RevSpecies116 [08:29] gartral: reinstall the gnome power manager package maybe. I dunno offhand which it is. you can look into /var/log/dpkg and /var/log/apt/history.log tho [08:29] how do i check freespace from a command line? [08:29] gartral: df [08:29] Yes, Neil [08:29] so what do you mean by default? [08:29] is there a known issue with "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)" and the fact that my second minot isn't detected ? (my two monitors are of the same model) [08:29] afaty: sudo update-alternatives --config editor [08:29] My current default editor is nano [08:29] afaty: update-alternatives [08:29] Think you [08:30] wols: I cant because i don't have a network connection [08:30] gartral: remove gnome power manager? [08:30] gartral: then start X and then reinstall it? [08:30] wols: that sounds like a bad idea [08:31] gartral: and network manager should work outside gnome too afaik === James is now known as Guest24034 [08:31] gartral: your choice. you can't break gnome more than it already is broken, can you? [08:31] is there a way to easily add old repos? [08:32] grepsd "Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)" is no full designation. A number is needed in addition. [08:32] wols: you don't know my luck [08:32] bullgard4 : how to retrieve it please ? [08:32] Leofelix: you can just add them, however the software you install that way might break your ubuntu [08:32] grepsd: Use lspci [08:32] bullgard4: he already did.that's what lspci told him [08:33] that's what i did. [08:33] grepsd: lspci -nn gives you the numnber. but what you have is a sandy bridge vga there afaik [08:33] grepsd, wols I see. [08:34] So i should try to find a proper driver for this GC ? [08:35] wols: yea, removing gnome-power manager is a very bad idea, it's going too remove the ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-netbook metapackages, and EVERYTHING linked too them [08:35] grepsd: if you already run 11.04 it's unlikely you find it [08:35] gartral: I didn't say to remove it via apt-get, did I? [08:35] wols: how else would i? [08:35] gartral: other choice is to use /etc/network/interfaces for network access. your choice [08:35] dpkg? [08:36] gartral: via dpkg of course (with some force obviously) [08:37] hummm wols do you have any idea about how to make my second monitor to get detected or do you think i'm stuck ? [08:38] jking2: if you can run "3D" stuff you have it. but it's also a matter of how much power you have. is it an intel or nvidia gpu? [08:39] Hi all, I'm using the adobe flash beta, and i want to install boxee, but it depends on flashplugin-nonfree .... is there a way i can make it ignore this dependency? [08:39] hateball: It should be an Intel because it's a low power machine. It's an Acer 532h. [08:39] grepsd: tried xrandr? [08:39] K-Rich: equivs [08:40] wols: ummm can you elaborate a bit? [08:40] jking2: then low GL performance is to be expected, especially if you keep all fancy effects running [08:40] Hi. I am using 11.04 on eeepc 1001 px. I have problem setting the wifi in monitor mode (invalid argument). Anyone knows how to fix it? [08:40] wols : nop, i'll try [08:40] wols: whats the format for editing /etc/network/interfaces? [08:40] K-Rich: equivs is a package. read its description [08:40] hi all, can i install gnome 3 in my maverick meerkat? [08:40] gartral: how do you connect to the internet? [08:40] hateball: do you know of any optimization guide or something similar?. [08:40] empol: no [08:41] owh, so only natty? [08:41] wols: a wifi device that annoyingly comes up as eth0 (it's broadcom) [08:42] ok, xrandr is telling me that all the connector are disconneted (VGA1 is good, HDMI1 & DP1 are not) [08:42] so, it may be an hardware problem ? [08:43] grepsd: dunno, sorry [08:43] Thanks all the same [08:44] jking2: sadly no :/ [08:44] jking2: glxinfo |grep direct [08:44] wols: a wifi device that annoyingly comes up as eth0 (it's broadcom) [08:44] i need help filing a bug report - i'm not sure how to categorize it [08:45] i'm having troubles with dual monitor, i cant set it up to to have an extended monitor with xinerama. might be cuz of 3D desktop effects? how can i disable the desktop effects of ubuntu ? [08:46] avernos - compiz/3d desktop effects is unlikely to be the problem here - it's probably a config error with xinerama [08:46] how can i remove a user from the login screen ? [08:47] elfranne: ubuntu menu -> system -> administration -> users and groups [08:47] wols: i've looked at the man pages for both equivs-build and equivs-control and i'm not sure i understand how to do this, i already have the boxee .deb [08:47] gartral: something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/630302/ [08:48] elfranne:userdel -r [08:48] how can i change my root password and my login screen password? [08:48] wols: hateball I just uninstalled KDE a few hours ago. But I'll give it another try soon! :D [08:48] jking2: Best of luck :) [08:48] I don t want to delete the user, just that i don t appear on the menu at startup [08:48] empol: don't go for root and login password for passwd in termianl [08:49] idi0t, i've managed to config before ( i just reinstalled ) under same ubuntu (latest) i tried all convinations i could think of but is still not working. i get or a black screen or something like wrong resolution and mixed resolutions. but the coordinates should be right.. any pointers? [08:49] wols: all good, i followed http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/04/13/solved-unable-to-boot-due-to-gnome-power-manager-error/ [08:49] empol: sudo will work almost all for you :) [08:50] K-Rich: equivs-control to create a (fake) control file and equivs-build to create a (fake) package. all for your flashplugin. then you install this (fake) flashplugin .deb file [08:50] so can you get both monitors to go to a virtual desktop at least? can you turn on your secondary monitor? === ksinkar_ is now known as ksinkar [08:52] idi0t, i can turn them both on. what do you mean go to a virtual desktop? like separate desktop ? [08:52] how can i shrink a logical volume mangement [08:52] ubuntu should not let you even use that if its live cd can't resize it, thats seems backward to me [08:53] wols: i've never worked with control files, not sure how to do this m8 [08:55] avernos: i basically just mean can you go to system -> prefrences -> monitors, enable both your monitors, and then move the mouse between both monitors? ie the two monitors form a sort of big 'virtual desktop' [08:55] odix:1. umount the mount point 2. e2fsck -f /path/to/volume 3. resize2fs /path/to/volume size 4.lvreduce -L size /path/to/volume 5.mount the volume :) [08:55] its the root filesystem [08:56] idi0t: you can have one desktop per workspace though [08:56] odix: sudo -i firstly to gain root privelege [08:56] jiltdil, i can't unmount a rot filesytem [08:57] idi0t, i cant use monitors, seems that i have to use the nvidia tool. but yes. i can do that. however those are independent desktops, i can move the mouse over, but i can move windows. i got separate panels and applications/places/system menus... so is just like having 2 desktops instead of an extended desktop [08:57] jiltdil? right... [08:58] idi0t, last time i've managed to enable it, was with the xinerama option. but now if i enable it, configs just gets messed up badly, cant use the desktop at all. [08:58] odix: remount read only. or use a live cd [08:58] live cd does not support lvm [08:58] makes no sense [08:58] idi0t: and then you can move your mouse between the two workspaces [08:58] idi0t: ok [08:58] idi0t, everytime i do so, i have to unplug monitor and restart x and reset configs to 1 monitor and start all over again [08:59] idi0t: but you can't have one workspace spread over two monitors [08:59] that's what's normally meant to happen yes [08:59] odix: gparted live cd does [08:59] ghsh, no it doesnt [09:00] odix: what i am reading says so [09:00] i have no idea how to manually configure xinerama, any pointers appreciated. or another way to do it will also be good [09:00] im booted into gparted [09:00] downloaded it yesterday from the server [09:00] ok then [09:02] sorry i just think thats bad to offer to do it but have no way to undo it [09:02] thats bad setup [09:02] 'hi [09:02] ubnutu server [09:02] i've tried to set different absolute values, but it stills gets messed up. mainly black screen on screen0 and normal on screen1. i've read that desktop effects or 3d effects with xinerama are only available in the main screen, and thats something i didnt have before. i didnt have the effects activated last time, i think [09:02] wols: i figured it out after a bit more reading, thank you for pointing me in the right direction [09:02] wols: it installed and now to see if it works [09:02] hey. forgot how to do this:p [09:02] I need to move a folder to a new location. (Terminal) but forgot how to :p ex: mv /media/mount1/folder /media/mount2/folder [09:03] i used to turn off desktop effects under system/preferences/appareance but it isnt there anymore, where can i disable the effects? [09:03] wols: it works..... thank you :) [09:04] odix: there are many documentation available on net go and see lots of there [09:05] hola [09:06] Is there a way to re-detect touchpad in 11.04. Got a bug where my touchpad detects as ps2 mouse but it should be fixed in 11.04 wich i have but it didnt fix automatically [09:06] hola [09:06] hoola [09:06] cscsdwq [09:06] odix:http://mindbuffer.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/resize-root-filesystem-in-logical-volume/ [09:07] heizel!

[09:57] wols: the users are not in powerdev group [09:57] hey all [09:57] tarzeau: damn traitor :P [09:57] is there a way to turn off your laptop monitor but keep a connected monitor on (so you use only one monitor)? [09:58] velofille: that's so very old. there's no /etc/X11/gdm or gdm.conf in /etc/gdm. i need this for natty [09:59] wols: So removing via Software Center would be adequate enough? [09:59] tarzeau: classic or unity? [09:59] Starminn: sure [09:59] tarzeau: if classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxOqXDLNKso ;) [09:59] wols: both! [10:00] tarzeau, yeah i realized that [10:00] wols: i'd rather disable unity completely instead of just the poweroff in unity [10:00] no response in #redhat [10:00] tarzeau, some of its still valid :) [10:00] ilangeeran, whats the problem [10:00] the thing is we have the users with nis/ldap (about 5000) [10:00] tarzeau: you can always install classic and uninstall unity. [10:00] and this gui configuration editor is not something i want to do on 300 computers [10:01] damn linux on the desktop sucks so much [10:02] tarzeau, change it in the config on one machine, find the change it made, then made that via CLI on all the rest [10:02] i am having a question related to redhat.when i asked in the #redhat channel,nobody answered me.please me,velofille [10:02] tarzeau: don't you guys have a windows site license? [10:02] velofille: how would i do that? [10:02] wols: sure, but some software doesn't work on windows [10:02] ilangeeran: we ONLY support ubuntu. we cannot help with redhat [10:02] tarzeau, . ok backup homedir, login, change setting, diff backup to current dir, find the difference [10:02] wols: some people want linux [10:02] tarzeau: morons! [10:02] velofille: we don't change homedirs of users [10:03] velofille: and /etc/skel is also not something we use [10:03] wols: absolutely! [10:03] tarzeau, im not suggesting that, im suggesting using a script to modify the existing install [10:03] velofille: yes but we can't change the existing config of users in their home [10:03] ie if its just a text addition to a config echo configopt >> /home/place [10:03] why not ? :O [10:03] hey wols thanks for that link with the finger print, it works, it's like a sci-fi file hehe [10:03] velofille: the problem is this software doesn't allow configuration in /etc or somewhere else [10:04] if you cant change /etc or /home then you're screwed :) [10:04] velofille: because some users run debian lenny, some ubuntu lucid, and at least one ubuntu mucholder [10:04] hellow all? [10:04] velofille: we can change /etc, but the damn sofwtare doesn't support it [10:04] Anyone here use fingerprint? [10:04] wols: i guess i need to change the job [10:04] to login [10:04] FireStorms: no [10:04] tarzeau, hmm so scripting it sounds the best method then, detect OS, update files required (when found) [10:04] FireStorms: it's insecure anyways [10:04] FireStorms: we had such a usb-device for door opening [10:05] velofille: ok thank you very much [10:05] tarzeau, im pretty good at scripting if you need a hand, though im heading to bed soonish [10:05] only insecure if they can get my fingers, they'll never get my fingers! [10:05] * FireStorms muhahaha [10:05] velofille: i'd need the stuff to do this in /etc, but i am pretty bad at it. good night [10:05] FireStorms: all they need is a glass you used to dring frm [10:05] though its more window manager than distro isnt it [10:05] velofille: maybe you can help me tomorrow? gurkan@phys.ethz.ch [10:06] wols: Didn't help (remove, install) [10:06] how to make ubuntu system more faster? [10:06] mande: haha :) [10:07] mande: get a faster computer, don't use gnome/unity/kde [10:07] Starminn: the aptitude output tells you which version exactly it needs. check if that version is available anywhere [10:07] ok .. [10:07] wols, hmmm point taken, I've seen enough films to know that trick - guess I'll have to start wearing gloves all the times, beats typing a password like you losers [10:07] tarzeau, you could always just change the /bin/shutdown binary to a script that exits X [10:08] halp. compiz is taking up roughly 95% of my cpu load on this netbook. im using the standard unity you get when you boot the 11.04 live version. what can i try to make it actually usable? is classic better or worse? [10:08] velofille: you mean /sbin/shutdown ? it's already -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root [10:08] tarzeau, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1427933 second to last post [10:08] FireStorms: I used it on my thinkpad with windows (no support for linux for the device) but it wasn't great [10:08] when i play music or video ubuntu stuck !!! why? [10:09] tarzeau, yep, the /usr/lib/indicator-sesson/gtk-logout-helper appears to call that [10:09] SockPant1, system -> preferences -> appearances -> visual effects (tab) -> select none [10:09] FireStorms: where is this in unity? [10:10] so i just do o-x /sbin/shutdown ? [10:10] is there a good program to view and and browse and edit .gifs [10:10] mande, What are your system specs? [10:11] vanquish349: gimp? [10:12] tarzeau, i would mv shutdown to realshutdown ; then touch shutdown ; chmod +x shutdown [10:12] so to shutdown you would call realshutdown [10:12] tarzeau: i have it but i dont think i can go through frames [10:12] velofille: ouch. but yes i'll consider that if the chmod o-rx /sbin/shutdown doesn't work [10:12] Hi everyone, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop. However I have a little problem with my USB keyboard. [10:12] SockPant1, do a search for Unity 2D environment [10:12] vanquish349: sure gimp can do so [10:12] toshiba s129 @ wildgoose [10:12] how === ksinkar_ is now known as ksinkar [10:12] tarzeau, the chmod may produce an error - give it a go ? [10:13] The USB keyboard is unusable on the login page. But it becomes usable after login. [10:13] What i should do to it? [10:13] :'( [10:14] mande: you want more RAM if at all possible running ubuntu in 256MB is not good at all. use lubuntu at the most [10:14] velofille: indeed that's so broken! [10:15] josephchew02: can you use it when the console (ctrl+alt+f2)? [10:15] velofille: the proper way would be a configuration dialo for /usr/lib/indicator-sesson/gtk-logout-helper === denny- is now known as denny [10:15] tarzeau, hehe doh! try the mv [10:15] josephchew02: you aren't alone http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791975 [10:15] <__fish__> thunderbird has an option to import data from outlook - can i make that work if outlook is installed on antoher partition, too? [10:15] and /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate [10:15] velofille: yes i'm trying [10:15] tarzeau, i see that doesnt exist in natty it seems [10:16] im looking for it now [10:16] velofille: the shutdown menu entries still appear :( [10:16] yep they will, they just will not work [10:16] josephchew02: possible fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1323640 [10:17] velofille: can't i make them disappear? [10:17] <__fish__> anybody read my question? [10:17] tarzeau, check this http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/losing-the-shutdown-confirmation-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ [10:18] __fish__: install it on the other OS and then convert, then backup the setting and restore in Ubuntu (or just symlink the data from Ubuntu to have a single storage of data) [10:18] can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu 11.04 to start up in a different resolution [10:19] tarzeau, gdm gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons true [10:19] __fish__ if the other partition is mounted, it should work [10:19] Wols, i have 512 RAM [10:19] tatersalid: what video chip? [10:20] sory but i really dont know its an old onboard video [10:20] how do you update a site's security certificate/ do you just download the new one and put it in the right directory (renaming hte old one to .old or something)? [10:21] Hi, I was able to go into the console, but i was not able to come back =P [10:21] !pm > __fish__ [10:21] __fish__, please see my private message [10:21] Sorry I am newbie... By the way, I was able to use my keyboard in the console === root is now known as Guest29092 [10:22] I just installed ubuntu 11.04 to my desktop. However, the logitech USB keyboard is unusable on the login page. Once it is login using the virtual keyboard, the keyboard becomes usable again. [10:23] how well does the intel gma3150 work with 11.04? [10:23] <__fish__> wols, even with all partitions mounted the outlook data doesn't show up [10:23] I have tried searching over the internet but no solution found. [10:23] __fish__: you might have to point thunderbird to the data if you can. if you can't, I guess you need to go the way ActionParsnip told you [10:24] SockPants: as well as the gma3150 works: not very well :P that's not a problem of ubuntu but the hardware of coures [10:24] wols: i've read things about bad driver support, has than been fixed or is it still an issue? [10:24] SockPants: it's an old, tested chip. there aren't really any surprises. pretty much all problems are the result of the hardware itself cause it's so inferior [10:24] :'( [10:25] wols: considering graphics is taking up pretty much all my cpu power as soon as i connect a second monitor (even on 720p) is this to be expected from a 3150? [10:26] Anyone please help me... I am having problem with my USB keyboard which is unusable during the login page. However it is okay after I login using the virtual keyboard. [10:26] problem i'm having is my main monitor just says "imput not supported' unless i plug it into another monitor then back into my main monitor [10:27] Hello guys. Is there a way I can drop all those IPA letters with plain text? My GoGear device does well with .txt files, but can't render IPA. :( [10:28] SockPants: define "graphics" [10:29] wols: top shows compiz using between 80 and 97% cpu [10:29] josephchew021: can you use it with grub? can you use it in text consoles? [10:29] SockPants: probably. I wouldn't run compiz on a 3150 anyways. [10:30] it is at its limit with compiz [10:30] wols: how do i not run compiz? i simply booted the live install. [10:31] wols: I can use it in the console [10:32] wols: is it the alt+ctrl+F2? [10:32] yes that's it === grepsd is now known as Grepsd|BNC [10:32] wols: of all the different versions of the desktop i can choose (unity 2d, unity, classic) which is the least cpu intensive? [10:32] SockPants: unity 2d or classic normally [10:33] is unity 2d any good? from what i read it seems a bit lame [10:33] basically anything with fancy 3D is bad :) [10:33] how do i make it use unity 2d? [10:33] SockPants: from what I read, unity is evil incarnate and SADFL will be in hell for it eternally :P [10:34] Does anyone now how I can run the latest alpha/beta/whatever version of Firefox (Aurora)? I downloaded an archive and extracted it. Apparently you're suppost to just ./firefox but that lauches the installed firefox, not the firefox-bin in the same directory [10:34] wols: well i've been using unity (dont know which one) for a few hours on just the netbook screen and it seems nice, but if there's a better alternative i'd glady try it since this is impossible to work with on a second monitor [10:35] SockPants: well anything without 3D effects. simply disable these effects if you can (gnome?) and run unity2d where you can't [10:35] SockPants: or you can run xfce or lxde if you want [10:35] wols: any idea how to run unity2d? not sure where the option is [10:35] me neither. I don't run either, sorry [10:35] wols: but I still cannot type on my keyboard on the login screen. [10:35] i was thinking about xfce, what are the downsides of that? [10:36] do all programs work? [10:36] yes. they work. you can still use all gnome apps and the like [10:37] wols: so i just install xubuntu instead then? i can try that live cd [10:37] josephchew021: I dunno why sorry. you could check your .xsession-errors maybe [10:37] SockPants: no need to. just install xfce [10:37] !xfce [10:37] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[10:37] wols: just running live [10:38] wols: Oh no.. =( [10:38] the different ubuntu flavours are simply different GUIs on top of ubuntu. you can have all 3 or 4 of them installed at once and choose between them. [10:38] ic, well then i'll give it a try [10:39] holy hell unity sucks and gnome is broken [10:39] Blou_Aap: use gnome classic session then [10:39] anyone knows this issue? : USB keyboard is unusable on the login screen but it is working after login. [10:39] SockPants: see that? :) [10:39] there goes all my hopes I ever had for ubuntu [10:39] wols: lol yes [10:39] "gnome is broken" [10:40] booting back into w7 starter though, it's all much smoother and i don't have to 'wait' for shit to finish nearly as much, so i'm hoping xfce will fix that [10:40] side bar just gets stuck, obscuring everything [10:40] Blou_Aap: start a wm war emacs makes me vomit! [10:40] Blou_Aap: sure but a different session type may help. Its at least worth a try...no? [10:40] bloody retarded [10:41] Blou_Aap: you can change the unity hide behaviour in ccsm [10:41] ActionParsnip, I tried, I evn gave gnome 3 a shot, and I don't have time to mess around [10:41] i've had problems with that bar. sometimes it doesnt appear, sometimes it sticks, ... annoying [10:41] but when it works... [10:41] this is the problem with ubuntu now, they going backwards [10:41] and I LOVED it [10:42] and I hate windows for android dev [10:42] Blou_Aap: use a different DE then [10:42] Blou_Aap: were you around when kde4 freshly came out? [10:42] i guess, but now it takes a chunk of my time to setup again [10:43] my setup was PERFECT with 10 I should have never upgraded [10:43] Hello [10:43] Blou_Aap: lxde will be a fast install, it is teenytiny [10:43] unable to locate package xubuntu-desktop [10:44] ye sure, but I have to setup all my dev tools again and my android profiles sigh [10:44] I need some help regarding the sensitivity of the touch pad of my lappy [10:44] Anyone can help me getting IpV6 to work?

[12:31] jrib: i just have one. 2.6.38, i see no others. [12:31] jvargas: do you have a bug report for the issue? [12:32] jvargas: vainfo works OK ?

[12:41] SockPants: to be fair, very few people run netbook but with 2 monitors [12:41] jrib: I tested with a ubuntu server 10.10 cd , and it worked. but do you think this issue is related to kernel or maybe something in ubuntu 11.04 apps?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:56] delinquentme, i can't be certain, but if all of the other methods mentioned fail, try this: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-adobe-flash-player-square-on-linux.html I believe that was what i used back then [15:57] delinquentme, I've two way, one with a ppa : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash and install flasplugin64-installer [15:57] And install the 32 bits on your 64. [15:57] Just, the 64 bits is no longer supported by Adobe. [15:58] koshieFinalReliz: wrong [15:58] iceroot, Really ? [15:58] koshieFinalReliz: there is again an amd64 version [15:58] how can i manage to restore a superblock? [15:59] Hi all. Running 10.04, just apt-get update && upgraded on my server. I'm stuck at a screen for grub-pc informing me that I have chose not to install grub to any devices, and asks if I want to continue without installing grub. Anyone seen this? I can file a bug if needed. [15:59] owenm, did you update your kernel? [15:59] test [15:59] nice [15:59] piotr_: working [15:59] it's work :) [15:59] iceroot, in french «Adobe ayant momentanément arrêté le support officiel du plugin flash 64 bits, il est conseillé d'utiliser la version 32 bits faisant appel à nspluginwrapper depuis que des failles critiques ont été corrigées seulement dans la dernière version. » It's a information from the ubuntu-fr information. [15:59] <[snake]> when I double click on something I just downloaded in firefox's downloads box, it comes up saying the location is not a folder... why doesn't it just open the file? [16:00] wx4nc: no kernel update [16:00] ok cya [16:00] owenm: sounds like a grup-pc update, just humour it and it should be ok [16:00] ac [16:00] koshieFinalReliz: i luckily dont speak french [16:00] koshieFinalReliz: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ [16:01] owenm: Action just nailed it. Just go right along with it and it should work out fine. I remember I had a server do that once as well [16:01] iceroot, That say, shortly, Adobe no longer support for a while the 64 bits version. [16:01] So is dangerous. [16:02] Hello [16:02] koshieFinalReliz: ah yes you are right, the download page is holding an old version with security-wholes [16:02] koshieFinalReliz: like every flash-version.... [16:02] iceflatline, irony or really ? :D [16:02] I don't speak english very well :) [16:03] i use an acer laptop and recently i have noticed that the cooling fan does not work and the laptop gets overheated and the battery is also broken (which i knew of course:-) ), i got my laptop diagnosed at a service center and they say that the transistor which takes care of the cooling fan has burnt, i even saw the board ans it was ! so i want to know if use an external cooling pad will it solve the problem bcoz the company guy said that the mother [16:03] board replacement will be very expensive. the laptop's warranty has expired.. [16:03] koshieFinalReliz: the suare-version is out of date but using flash is always a security-risc... (but that is offtopic) [16:03] iceroot, yes yes [16:03] It's flash. [16:04] thunder1212: put another transistor there [16:05] ActionParsnip, wx4nc: fair enough. same thing happens on dpkg-reconfigure, fwiw. it *does* regenerate the .cfg once I politely decline an install, and everything seems quite normal. i'll just try a reboot and see what happens. cheers! [16:05] hi friends! how to reinstall su command!!!???? [16:05] thunder1212: nobody can tell you....all additional cooling stuff might help.....another idea would be to power your fan permanently from another power source of your mother board... [16:05] fellipe: how you removed it? [16:05] How to run multi touch in the touch board ? [16:06] iceroot: in fact, I will paste what I wrote [16:06] in other channel [16:06] Hi.

[16:17] bazhang, thank u.... :) [16:17] I see [16:17] [snake], downloaded what [16:17] and that's because Linux models many things as files [16:18] What's the correct way to configure a daemon to start on boot under ubuntu? What's the procedure? [16:18] Faris: no [16:18] Faris: but everything is a file for linux but that is not the reason [16:18] !boot | Jerub [16:18] Jerub: 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 [16:19] Is that because of linux or because of the used filesystem ? [16:20] Faris: because of linux. the link from ubottu will tell you more details [16:20] Faris: on linux EVERYTHING is file...not just many things [16:20] Hello [16:21] beli: Okey :] [16:21] Faris: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [16:21] Faris: is that because linux likes you. So it caches many files you may use. In case an app needs memory freeing it from cache and giving to an app takes microseconds [16:21] Faris :Do you speak Arabic? [16:22] iceroot: i'd really rather not use /etc/rc.local, is there a manual on the topic of adding services that can be activated with update-rc.d that i can acess? === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ [16:22] Jerub: man update-rc.d === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [16:23] How does one force xorg to use kernel keymap? === netsjanek_ is now known as netsjanek [16:23] iceroot: that didn't answer my question, was i unclear? [16:23] <[snake]> bazhang, it happens with everything I download... this one is a torrent file. [16:24] Jerub: you asked for a manual about update-rc.d correct? [16:25] iceroot: no, i asked how to add services that i can then configure with update-rc.d [16:25] maujhsn is in the house Hello everybody! I learning libvisual for the first time can anymore tell me what path or folder to goto to compile libvisual? [16:25] it looks like i'm actually looking up the wrong tree, it looks like modern practice is to use upstart and /etc/init/* instead of /etc/init.d/* === mrapple_ is now known as mrapple [16:26] yep, looks like update-rc.d is definately the wrong thing to use entirely. [16:27] hi:) [16:27] <[snake]> anniex, hi [16:27] Jerub: it's a question of philosophy....look at slackware....still using BSD style inits [16:28] beli: i'm not caring about philosophy, i'm just after good practices so i can put together something. [16:28] snake hello [16:28] how are you [16:28] Jerub: and that leads you again to philosophy....waht is best practice? who defines that? [16:29] <[snake]> anniex, I'm good... but this is a support irc thingy... last time I tried having a casual conversation, I got yelled at. [16:29] Hey i am using kubuntu. what package do i have to install so i have ubuntu? ubuntu-desktop ? [16:30] Jerub: use what fits your needs and does not isolate you from the main stream [16:30] Goliath: it's one way, yes [16:30] ActionParsnip: whad do you mean its one way [16:31] Goliath: well, it will install a FULL Ubuntu desktop. You can install Gnome without all the gnome apps and just use the desktop [16:32] ActionParsnip: so it installs some apps used only by ubuntu and not kubuntu? [16:32] Goliath: ubuntu-desktop installs gnome, themes, base applications etc, gnome-desktop, installs gnome [16:32] ok [16:32] Goliath: for example, if you install ubuntu-desktop you will alos install gedit, you already have kate / kwrite whatever so you will duplicate apps [16:32] Goliath: why do you want to switch to ubuntu? and do you have your /home on a seperated volume? [16:33] <[snake]> can you dualboot with two different hard drives? [16:33] [snake]: yes [16:33] <[snake]> and grub [16:33] [snake]: yes [16:33] i just want ubuntu also [16:33] <[snake]> cool [16:33] I learning libvisual for the first time can anymore tell me what path or folder to goto to compile libvisual? [16:33] so the end system if i run ubuntu-desktop install is the same as if i had a new ubuntu? [16:33] kubunu + ubuntu-desktop = ubuntu? [16:33] Goliath: yes [16:33] ok [16:34] Goliath: kubuntu + ubuntu-desktop + unity + gnome = ubuntu [16:34] Goliath: ubuntu/kubuntu are the same os, different desktops [16:34] Goliath: you will have the choice at login, depends how much space you have to hold all the extraapps [16:34] BlouBlou: what is unity? [16:34] !flavors [16:34] !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu [16:34] blablabla [16:34] wiegraf77: ? [16:34] well, remove unity if you want from the list [16:34] wiegraf77, pardon? [16:34] Goliath: idea to not double stuff and install bloat your disc.....would be to overwrite your system partitions and remount /home/ ..............BUT you need your home on seperate partition for this [16:34] but you need gnome too, or it will be kubuntu with ubuntu apps, but no the same desktop [16:35] sorry just testing..... [16:35] Goliath: and you dont need to install gnome to run gnome apps......gnome libs are enough === lance is now known as Guest80027 [16:36] ActionParsnip: does ubuntu-desktop package include unity? [16:36] or gnome-desktop [16:36] how does one install a tarball?

[16:39] yes [16:39] i know i've installed like 4 packages [16:40] none work [16:40] delinquentme: you messed up your setup [16:40] delinquentme, which ones [16:40] 2 this try and probs like 3 before [16:40] so how to i reset them [16:40] delinquentme: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [16:40] delinquentme, gnash? [16:40] delinquentme: use http://pastebin.com to host the text please [16:41] delinquentme: start firefox and install flash-aid add-on :) [16:41] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/N7i7qFDw [16:41] delinquentme: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/flash-aid/ [16:42] ikonia: can you include pypanel in ubuntus repositories, as it used to be?

I'd need help with email sound notification. I get none in Thunderbird and FF addons (ymail wtacher, gmail manager). I tried system/built-in and custom wav. - I I use ubuntu 10.10 [16:46] Goliath: Thats what it says, so yes. [16:46] cybervolfe: probably never needed it, 4GB of ram is quite a lot for a generic desktop [16:46] ikonia: read the page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pypanel/+publishinghistory [16:47] Goliath: I don't need/want to read it thanks [16:47] Pici: so what if it is buggy. maybe i want a buggy application [16:47] ikonia: it doesnt say much as you can see [16:47] but now my system seems to be slow [16:47] i dont know why [16:47] Goliath: nothing stops you from installing it on your own. [16:47] Goliath: the fact remains, it's removed and now unavailable from the ubuntu repos [16:47] Goliath: you are free to grab the source for any program you wish and compile it. [16:47] pfff [16:47] thats why i use arch [16:47] in case you wonder [16:47] Goliath: Then take it up with Debian. You can search their bugs database as well as I can to find the details. [16:48] cybervolfe: ok , what have you done to investigate [16:48] Pici: i thought ubuntu didnt copy debian [16:48] Goliath: you're really asking why ubuntu doesn't keep crappy software in its repositories? [16:48] Goliath: if you use Arch, what support question do you have about an Ubuntu system? [16:48] sipior: man [16:48] i would've thought that was self-evident. [16:48] Goliath: ubuntu is based on debian, debian is it's upstream provider [16:49] sipior: its about choice. noone is forced to install something. its about having as many packages available as one wishes [16:49] when i load a software (eg:just a text editor) it takes much time to load [16:49] Goliath, you are using arch, why ask in here [16:49] sipior: of course i can get it from source, as in any linux distro. that isnt the case [16:49] Goliath: there may be a ppa with a newer version [16:49] Goliath: I suggest you talk to the debian maintainers if you want more details/personal information on the decision [16:49] bazhang: i am not right now, what are you talking about [16:49] hello all, Seamonkey keeps crashing--here is the output when it does--http://pastebin.com/pQSXP1kw [16:50] Goliath: linux has had quite enough of that useless kind of choice.

[16:50] aristidesfl: wicd-curses [16:50] cybervolfe: open a terminal, do you know how to do that ? [16:50] 11.04 [16:50] Goliath: ANYWAY... lets all get back on topic. What help do you want from *us* here today regarding this? [16:50] Goliath: the package was removed from Debian and Ubuntu inherited that change. the binary package no longer exists. you can compile it yourself, or find an alternative. with that, the "support" aspect of your question is resolved, and we can close this topic on the support channel. [16:51] Pici: relax cowboy [16:51] i am using ubuntu right now. i had a question [16:51] pfff [16:51] Goliath: I'm very relaxed, I just want to know how we can help.

For cases where its an alternate keymap [16:51] ActionParsnip: thanks [16:51] shishir: yes. [16:52] aristidesfl: it also has a desktop x based app. wicd rocks! [16:52] It looks like there is a buffer overflow in Seamonkey,is there a way to downgrade it? [16:52] shishir: the guys in #python are better placed to discuss that [16:52] aristidesfl:use ifconfig and iwconfig [16:52] I cannot get at my e-mails, which is really frustrating [16:52] ya [16:52] cybervolfe: no need to install wicd-curses? [16:52] then? [16:53] cybervolfe: have you opened a terminal ? [16:53] yes [16:53] what to do next? [16:54] cybervolfe: type "top" [16:54] cybervolfe: that's going to give you a highlevel display of your system resources [16:54] if you like pretty colors, try htop [16:54] anyone have any idea why my FF and thunderbird are silent when giving email notifications? [16:55] ok i got it [16:55] is mythtv a legitimate software ? why it asked to join their group and required sudo ...stuffs [16:55] cybervolfe: keep in mind, it's just a highlevel overview, so don't read too much into what you're seeing [16:56] CooKieMonster: sure, you may need to add yourself to a group [16:56] Does anyone have issues with seamonkey?

[18:11] could anyone help me recover my raid softwate superblock [18:11] kingofswords, no [18:11] #ubuntu [18:11] kingofswords: nope :0 [18:12] Hello, can someone help me figure out whats going on with my Swap space? [18:12] !ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:12] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [18:12] i thought they were in software sources? [18:12] kingkong: for legal reason they are not installed by default [18:12] I've been trying to figure out why my system is performing so badly, apps are constantly hanging (they turn gray) -- I opened System Monitor and it shows 0 bytes Swap space [18:12] kingofswords, ^ [18:12] yeh [18:13] bazhang: thanks [18:13] oh ok...but when i install them they are in software sources? [18:13] cos i think i already installed# [18:13] kingofswords, check the package manager [18:13] yup kingofswords they are but can't be installed by default when installing the OS due to legal reasons . you have to choose the option to install them yourself [18:14] Can someone help me setup my Swap space? [18:14] kingofswords: add the medibuntu repo and you can install the w64codecs. The resricted extras package will install most of what you need [18:14] BluesKaj, ok thx...then i did alreay === jayp_ is now known as twiz [18:14] brian_: how much RAM do you have? [18:14] no need for the repos for that package [18:14] I have 4 GB RAM [18:14] I have already installed Ubuntu, but it shows 0 bytes Swap space :( [18:15] brian_: unless you want to hibernate, it is unlikely you need swap [18:15] I have a swap partition created [18:15] i have medibuntu definetly [18:15] After reinstalling grub, ubuntu no longer shows up, only windows. When running update-grub from the livecd, I get the following error: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'." Any idea why? [18:15] brian_: so what's in your /etc/fstab for swap? [18:15] brian_: then use 4Gb RAM if you need hibernate etc or intend to do high CPU use things. Otherwise you can get away with not having it [18:15] wols: It says 0 [18:16] Tried to add medibuntu and am getting this error: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-en .

[18:17] <[snake]> his* [18:18] [snake]: let him answer then, rather than "maybe" [18:18] [snake]: possible with some nokias ;) [18:18] swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=e46f75c6-868b-4ad5-b3b1-3dd49908f708 [18:18] the vibration suddenly stope [18:18] wht can i do to fix it?

[18:18] brian_: so what does blkid say? what does fdisk -l say? [18:18] [snake], stop with the chit chat please [18:18] <[snake]> bazhang, sorry [18:19] any one? [18:19] [snake]: You can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like [18:19] HISHAMO, how is that an ubuntu issue [18:19] HISHAMO: I'll ask one more time - "how is this an ubuntu issue" [18:19] <[snake]> Pici, cool [18:19] [snake], theres an android channel [18:19] wols: "fdisk -l" says: /dev/sda5 117488 121602 33041408 82 Linux swap / Solaris [18:20] brian_: then blkid shows some swap too [18:20] what kind of issuos you help with man? [18:20] HISHAMO: this channel is ubuntu support discussion [18:20] I have a 1TB ntfs drive that i want to convert to ext4. i have no way of backing the data up i have used 450GB of it, so if i create a 500GB ext4 partition, can i just copy the files over to that, then delete the ntfs and extend the ext4? [18:20] wols: based on example from a forum I ran: "sudo blkid -c /dev/null -o list" [18:20] sudokill: do you have Windows handy? [18:20] wols: I got this: /dev/sda5 swap (not mounted) 7f4588ac-2a57-4c92-a2d7-64b1d9a9f712 [18:20] mneptok, yes [18:21] sudokill: you can resize partitions. No backup is a bit terrifying. I suggest you look into that fast [18:21] sudokill: extending partitions is risky, but in principal, yes [18:21] can you tell me a name of chanell i can find help in with this problem [18:21] HISHAMO: sorry, no [18:21] risky how? ill defrag it first... ill be using parted magic and gparted probably [18:21] sudokill: use Windows to move the data to the first 450GB and then create free space in the 500GB at the end. then use Ubuntu to format that empty partition. [18:21] sudokill: data can get corrupted, [18:21] brian_: then add it to your fstabm or rather replace the current swap in fstab with that [18:21] HISHAMO: try #mobilephones [18:21] ok i know windows defrags it for you to ensure no data is lost [18:21] thanks for nothing! [18:22] HISHAMO: That's a hardware problem, [18:22] sudokill: you are far, FAR more likely to get good results resizing NTFS in Windows than in Linux\ [18:22] HISHAMO: welcome [18:22] actuall nm [18:22] HISHAMO: read the channel head. [18:22] sudokill: defrag has nothing to do with backups at all. doesn't pervent data loss either [18:22] when i resize i mean [18:22] sudokill, why convert the ntfs, just create an ext4 partition install ubuntu and you'll still have access to the ntfs drive's data [18:22] wols: Any ideas whats going on with my swap partition? [18:22] n oits a data drive, i dont even use ubuntu. i just want ext4 for the data [18:23] I am trying to rm -fr a dir & receive an Input/output error; next i tried find . -inum [inode-number] -exec rm -i {} \; still no luck... does anyone know of another method to remove files [18:23] sudokill, not necessary [18:23] brian_: you don't have your current swap partition in your fstab, hence it cannot get mounted on bootup. nothing more, nothing less. I told you what to do to fix it [18:24] wols: I'm sorry, I must have missed your instructions somehow, or misunderstood [18:24] wtf, why does everything break in ubuntu 11.04? I have to fix something darn near every single day! [18:24] does anyone make sens of what sudokill just said? he never uses ubuntu but wants a ext4 partition? [18:25] < wols> brian_: then add it to your fstabm or rather replace the current swap in fstab with that [18:25] wois . I was wondering what he;s trying to accomplish [18:25] other distros use ext4... [18:26] wols: I'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure how to do that... is there a good resource that can explain the process in more detail? [18:26] ActionParsnip: then why ask us? nevermind [18:26] when i'm isntalling ubuntu ; will it be able to resize my existing c: partition? i have tried to shrink via the windows 7 utility but there are files in those blocks and it wont let me shrink it past a certain amount [18:26] in disk utility -> smart data my ssd is reporting an assessment of 'warning' for 'reallocated sector count' with 384 bad sectors, is this a lot? ssd is pretty much new at 4.0 hours and 52 cycles. [18:26] brian_: blkid gave you a UUID for sda5 right? you replace the current UUID in your fstab for the seap device with this new UUID, then you run swapon -a again to test and you should have swap. voila! [18:27] SockPants: I am not sure how smart is relevant at all for SSDs [18:27] arooni-mobile: defrag and srhink. do it in windows [18:27] wols: Ok, that sounds like a plan, how do I modify fstab? [18:28] wols, i cant shrink past a certain point cuz there are files in the middle of the partition [18:28] SockPants: all the wear levelling and reordering it does is never reported to SMART normally. wouldn't make sense either when a SSD often has 10% spare sectors [18:28] wols: strange isn't it :) [18:28] ActionParsnip: hence: defrag [18:28] brian_: with an editor [18:29] !fstab | brian_ [18:29] brian_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:30] ubottu: Thank you, thats great information [18:30] brian_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:30] lol [18:30] I meant to thank bazhang [18:31] brian_: I suggest only editing the UUID part of the swap line you pasted above [18:31] What's the command to determine the Ubuntu version? [18:31] lsb_release -a [18:31] parolang, lsb_release -a [18:32] woohoo! [18:34] does anyone have any experience with changing the i/o scheduler on an ssd? [18:35] wols: I think that worked :) for the record, the reason for my confusion for a minute there was I thought fstab was a system command/utility only, which I would need to learn how to use; I did not realize it corresponded to a text config file [18:35] wols: System Monitor is now showing the correct amount of swap space. :) thank you for your help! [18:35] can you add bottom panels in unity? [18:35] brian_: swapon worked? [18:36] bazhang: Cool, thanks. [18:36] wols: After replacing the UUID in /etc/fstab as you suggested, running "sudo swapon -a" seemed to work, yes. [18:37] My fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install doesn't recognize the hostname of my FTP server. Any ideas? [18:37] WXZ, you can add a dockbar but not pannels, you would need to switch to the classic environment for that, i might be wrong tho [18:38] I want to add ubuntu to grub via the grub.cfg file, any advice on how to do so? [18:38] bleh [18:38] wait, gnome panel is there by default isn't it? [18:38] that's what youtube says [18:39] sanjid: run the live cd, chroot to your ubuntu installation (with bind mounting /dev and /proc) and run update-grub. os-prober should pick it up [18:40] yeah but your not using Gnome when your using Unity WXZ [18:40] oh, right, you get to chose which one you want right? [18:40] when installing === marco is now known as Guest65934 [18:41] WXZ, gnome-shell? === zorro is now known as Guest73834 [18:41] yeah, if you log out WXZ you and get to the login screen, click on your login id and there will be an option to change environment, just select the classic ubuntu and you will be back in gnome [18:41] WXZ, the choice is between classic and unity. [18:41] WXZ, gnome3 is not a choice [18:42] richuk: ok, no worries then [18:42] how to install file "pol" I downloaded the playonlinux and comes in this extention, I do [18:42] hi, where is sshd logged under ubuntu ? thanks [18:43] wols: When I run sudo update-grub, I get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'. How would I chroot to the installation? [18:43] Any ideas on an issue with resolving FTP hostnames? [18:43] blip-: /var/log/auth.log or if you've enabled debugging, it should get dropped into /var/log/messages iirc. [18:44] salam all [18:44] blip-: /var/log/auth.log for example. possibly syslog, depending on settings iirc [18:45] sanjid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [18:45] Pici, wols: I'm trying to ssh from my windows desktop to Ubuntu laptop (11.04). I've set up sshd/openssh-server and my firewall shows it's listening on port 22. No ports blocked. Yet I the connection times out. I did tail -f /var/log/auth.log ... nothing appears when i try to connect [18:46] I can ping the laptop from the desktop just fine, both on my home network [18:46] wols: thank you very much! [18:47] blip-: telnet to port 22 on your ubuntu box [18:47] blip-: from windows [18:48] wols, well this is strange, but when I turned off Firestarter, the connection worked... it wasn't showing me that it was blocking connections... it [18:48] it usually says that in the Events section [18:48] maybe it's outdated or broken [18:48] blip-: iptables -L always does [18:49] it's the only proper firewall to check. screw the frontends [18:50] evenin all [18:50] know how to install ubuntu muonline [18:50] I have played? [18:50] ikonia , can you help know is my punishment over? [18:50] wols, yeah my bad for trusting it, been using it for few years because I like the system tray icon/notification. Turns out it didn't inform me because of a permission problem with it writing logs to disk. [18:50] wols, thanks [18:51] wols: worked like a charm. Thank you very much! [18:52] blip what are you using to ssh from windows , putty ? [18:52] jsfiddle doesn't like Chrome??? [18:52] ah played gumbound in ubuntu? know how to install [18:52] When I do something like open a folder, it shows "Opening [folder]" in the taskbar long after it has opened successfully, for a set time, even after it has opened or even been closed. What is causing this delay? [18:53] and, whenever I reboot/log out and back in, the theme I have selected is randomly not applied to my gnome panel, it uses the default (ugly) GTK+ theme. Any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't seem to be related to me changing panel settings. Once the default theme is there, logging out and back in won't restore it, only a reboot will (sometimes) [18:54] donkeyinspace: sorry, I'm not interested === geekbri is now known as brian_ [18:54] anyone tried to make Skydrive work in Ubuntu ? [18:55] BluesKaj, yep putty. but problem solved, was error/bug on my linux firewall === brian_ is now known as geekbri [18:55] ikonia , i really dont see your point what have i done wrong to deserve this kind of treatment? [18:56] blip-, yeah I saw that , I was just curious what app on the windows side === claude2_ is now known as claude2 [18:57] donkeyinspace, ask the channel, dont target individual users [18:57] donkeyinspace: you asked for advice from a person and then didn't listen to that advice. what's the point for the advice-giver to help you if you ignore him? [18:58] donkeyinspace, every 15-20 minutes or so, if someone knows , they will answer [18:58] wols , im very sorry if im not einstein [18:58] donkeyinspace, lets move on please [18:59] wols , im very sorry if im not einstein and im trying to leave windows and start with ubuntu [18:59] * BluesKaj wonders what advice he ignored , and what the issue is ...I'm old and have some patience [18:59] donkeyinspace: and you depreciating yourself (falsely) doesn't make me (or anyone else) inclined to help you. if you are in a hole, stop digging [18:59] donkeyinspace, thats enough [19:01] donkeyinspace, what was your question? === din_ is now known as din [19:01] wols , do you know some tutorial to install ubuntu in the same pen drive you got the ubuntu live? [19:01] no [19:01] BluesKaj , do you know some tutorial to install ubuntu in the same pen drive you got the ubuntu live? [19:02] Do I need additional software to access shared directories on the network via MS Networking/Samba ? [19:03] I tried pointing the browser to it [19:03] smb://ip_server [19:03] blip-: is the file server windows 7? [19:03] anyone tried to make Skydrive work in Ubuntu ?

Intel can only install with the server deployment tool RHat or SUSE? [19:05] when i do sudo -s & when i do su.... is there any difference? [19:06] hi [19:06] i was playing around around with .bashrc and amazed to see that in case of sudo -s...the original user .bashrc was used while with su root bashrc file was loaded [19:06] a few questions [19:06] why do the notifications hide as soon as i move my mouse over them [19:06] i want to be able to click them to get to the app that's sending them, or to close them. [19:06] any pointers about the difference between these two? [19:06] SockPant5: compiz effect? [19:06] btw I'm on Kubuntu if it matters, 11.04 [19:06] BlouBlou: hm, i'm running classic with no effects [19:07] I found some old posts on the ubuntuforums that involve manually mounting the samba shares via cli, shouldn't it be possible through my file manager somehow ? [19:07] is it growl that does the notifications? if not can i replace it with growl? [19:07] blip-: use the 'connect to server' menu item in nautilus [19:08] in the mean time, second question: can i get something like the app bar in unity but on classic? [19:08] SockPant5: default is notify-osd (and that sounds like notify-osd's behavior), there are several others in the repo, such a notification-daemon which has more options [19:09] !dock | SockPant5 [19:09] SockPant5: Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. [19:09] which one is most like the unity dock? [19:10] hi, a question on removing kernel 2.6.38.10..which file should i mark on synaptic to do this?linux-image-2.6.38.10generic-pae, linux-header-2.6.38.10-generic pae or both? [19:10] hi there, is this a good place to look for some help getting unity to behave in a dual head environment? [19:11] foufis: both [19:11] afairley, it works here on dual monitors,, what is the issue? [19:11] foufis: the kernel is the "image" file but the headers file doesn't make any sense without the image [19:11] SockPant5: you can use unity2d with great results [19:11] afairley, which video card do you have on that system? [19:11] * LOLZ awesome youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KkS3ZG_WIw [19:12] foufis: remove the image and the headers will fail deps and be marked for removal [19:12] wols: oh ok...removal or complete removal? [19:12] hi coz_ I have a Quadro 2000 [19:12] current behavior is [19:12] ActionParsnip: i've tried unity2d, within 2 seconds i had broken it (when using a second monitor) [19:12] foufis: if you run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove it will completely remove what is necessary [19:13] afairley, are you using twinview with that or separate xscreen settings? [19:13] 1) xinerama leads to black unusable screen with only a mouse pointer [19:13] SockPant5: ahh, ive heard stuff of dual monitors and unity [19:13] Hello. I use Kubuntu 11.04 64-bits. I quit vlc because its plugin crashes FF4 and don't work on chromium. However it seems that this patch here http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361263 fixes the problem. How can I install this patch on my system?

[19:14] afairley, what is the combined resolution of your monitors [19:14] ActionParsnip, I see the share and its top-level dirs, but when i try to browse in, the login user/pass fails. could this be because my desktop has also mounted this samba share and thus can't make a new session ? multiple clients should be able to mount right ? [19:14] coz_ I'll give it a go, I remember it rubbing me the wrong way under gnome, perhaps I will find it more pleasant under unity [19:14] ActionParsnip: normal unity worked ok with a second screen, but it ate all my cpu (compiz). [19:14] 2x(1920,1080) [19:15] afairley, with nvidia it is essentially the BEST way to go separate screens dont work well as far as I have expeirneced and also moving windows from one monitor to the next is not possible [19:15] after that i switched to classic and it doesn't even use any, just around 10% at worst [19:15] afairley, what is the read out of this command ? glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE [19:15] coz_, yeah, it's really better to just put things on monitors regularly anyways [19:16] GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 16384 [19:16] GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 16384 [19:16] afairley: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:17] Guys, how do i use xorgwizard so it ignores my laptop monitor (it does not work) and use an exterman monitor? i have access to terminal not GUI [19:17] afairley, ok that 16384 is a video card hardware limitation,, it means that the combined resolution of both monitors cannot exceed that resolution horizontally or vertically [19:17] coz_ am I unmuted ? [19:18] clear [19:18] afairley, what do you mean? [19:18] coz_, so that means the sum of the number of pixels can't exceed that number? [19:18] I cannot find grub's menu.lst in Nutty Narwhal: need to modify kernel command line. Any pointers how I can set the kernel command line in Nutty? [19:18] afairley, exactly [19:18] afairley, in either direction [19:18] oh, when I gave you the output from glx, floodbot was unhappy [19:19] afairley, oh ok [19:20] tinhead: you can add items to the kernel command line in /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and then running sudo update-grub; natty uses grub2 which has no menu.lst [19:20] !grub2 | tinhead for more info: [19:20] tinhead for more info:: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[19:23] Hi. I need help (not google tutorials) figuring out compiz, emerald, and the window managers. Ultimately I want glassy borders for my windows. Where do I go to find this sort of help? #gnome ? [19:23] Quick question; antivirus // firewall software worth getting ? -- also is it really necessary ? [19:23] SoobNauce, emerald is no longer supported nor maintained [19:24] bazhang: Is compiz still allowed? [19:24] bfh198: There is a firewall in the ubuntu software center that's very good, avast make an antivirus software suite [19:24] not really necessary tho [19:24] bfh198, antivirus no, there is iptables/ufw for firewall though [19:24] bfh198: There is already a firewall in Ubuntu, and no you don't need antivirus unless you're afraid of spreading infected files to Windows users (it won't affect Ubuntu) [19:24] SoobNauce, there is a c++ build for emerald,, however I have not tested it because it wouldnt compile for me and compiz is default in 11.04 [19:25] So then does compiz do glass borders? [19:25] SoobNauce, translucent you mean? [19:25] Thanks for answers. [19:25] SoobNauce, no that would be the responsibility of either gtk-window-decorator using the gnome themes or kde-window-decorator using kde themes [19:26] ok, so I find settings for gtk-window-decorator... ...where? [19:26] SoobNauce, so you would have to use a gtk2 theme with transparency at this point === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [19:26] system>preferences>appearance ?

[19:26] SoobNauce, well the appearnce dialog will offer changing and installation of new themes not transparency [19:27] coz_: Where do I go to find transparency options? [19:27] SoobNauce, well as I said,, gnome-color-chooser,, which has to be installed,, however,, i would read some how tos for using that before playing with it [19:27] not all themes have the option i think [19:28] SoobNauce, take time to research rgba settings via gnome-color-chooser as well as many other options offered within it [19:28] new question, why does Ambiance put the close/minimize/maximize on the top left of a window? I kind of like them on the top right [19:28] SoobNauce, eaily changed open a terminal [19:28] codex84: sounds like you need a wakeup script to unload then reload the module driving the NIC [19:28] !controls [19:28] Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

It does make sense [19:30] gconf-editor is an awesome tool [19:30] [snake]: Where did you burn it from? [19:30] <[snake]> bazhang, yeah, my next question is how to fix ubuntu after I install windows next to it. because windows wipes out grub.

[20:35] brier_: what virtualiztion are you using [20:36] I am using KVM virtualization and it could be a Centos problem. === k1ng__ is now known as k1ng [20:36] hi folks. installing ubuntu 11.04 on my t420. i have 409.2GB of free space. i believe its best to have a separate partition for /root/ and for /home/. questions: 1) how big should /root/ be? 2) do i only want two partitions (one for /home/ and one for /root/) ? [20:36] brier_: it sounds like the centos installer is detecting the virtualization wrongly and putting the xen kernel in rather than stock [20:37] Just seems weird that as a default it installed the xen kernel and not install virtio drivers... [20:37] quit [20:37] @nikola chelma ti si? [20:37] also should i go with ext3 or ext4 [20:37] ikonia... that does sound like what it is doing...

[20:41] Ok ok sorry [20:41] harro [20:41] what's the best way to upgrade to Firefox 5? [20:41] flowbee: 3.) up to you - normally yes, 4.) ext3/4 depends on your needs, 5.) primary/logical doesn't matter [20:41] flowbee: 3) i don't use a swap partition, enough ram, if needed can use a swapfile [20:42] <[snake]> I am having a problem with my 2.5" hdd hot swap and ubuntu [20:42] I said Salam alekom only ( hi ) [20:42] flowbee: 5) consider using LVM [20:42] flowbee: 3) At least the size of your ram if you want to hibernate [20:42] flowbee: 6.) order - doesn't matter [20:42] !ff5 | katsrc [20:42] katsrc: Firefox 5 packages are currently building!

[21:01] flowbee: around the same as your ram, but it also depends on the software you run i'd say 2gb+ is fine [21:01] trying to get rsync in daemon mode to preserve privileges. Do I have to connect as root to the rsync server or only run the rsync server as root? [21:01] flowbee: for hibernatingI recommend amount of RAm you have, you can add swap space later too [21:02] !rsync [21:02] rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [21:02] what do you folks think of simply using a swap file instead of a swap partition?

[21:05] im going to use a swap file; instead of swap partition; seems easier to adjust later [21:06] zombie processes [21:06] how to find them?

[21:14] no [21:14] !runlevels | giles [21:14] giles: 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. [21:14] i think it might just bee 11.04 [21:14] but it's seriously rboken :( [21:14] TheSimkin: Then could you please pastebin the errors you're getting.

[21:18] TheSimkin: If you installed 11.10, the alpha release of Ubuntu, then yes, it would likely be broken. [21:19] giles: you said VM? then use F1 [21:19] TheSimkin, will gentoo help your spelling too ? :) [21:19] BluesKaj: Thats uncalled for. [21:19] guntbert: no luck [21:20] giles: on the splash screen just press until you get the "recovery menu" [21:20] yeah Pici , but it's still funny :) [21:21] guntbert: no sorry.

Then genii-around's answer is great. [21:34] kernelpanicker: LXDE is the new lightwight desktop of choice, if they have a live-cd, I'd go with that on a low-spec computer.

[21:50] Neohasreturned, you could always install Rockbox; awesome open source firmware for the IPOD that allows you to use it as a mass storage device [21:50] joel135, I don't think so [21:51] why does i can't run su? [21:51] and i need sudo? [21:51] Rockbox does it allow me to transfer playlists onto it? [21:51] Marchitos: do you mean that sudo works, but su doesn't?

[21:52] dudes [21:52] what is up with nothing being supported for ubuntu [21:52] seriously? [21:53] Marchitos: than you won't be able to use su cause su tries to authenticate you as "root" [21:53] Marchitos: you need to give the user 'root' it's own password, but it isn't adviced for sequrity reasons. instead use the workaround "sudo su " [21:53] that's the question: why does the root account is disabled by default? [21:53] joel135: I'd prefer "sudo -i" [21:53] i thought there was a security issue, but if sudo can do everything, then why disable it?

Any other suggestions? [22:09] joel135: try to ask in ##httpd [22:09] So they dropped support and probably didn't replace it with anything, right? [22:09] ok [22:09] joel135: 'they'?

It is technically possible though. [22:30] sarit, I thought you HAD to to use it once the array existed... [22:30] naphidia: no, just gunzip filename.gz [22:30] otherwise how would you write data to it? [22:30] no, you can even make a /dev/md0 with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (so not using partitions at all) === xilo is now known as xilo_ [22:31] any to patch something i know the command is patch > something [22:31] but not sure..

When you create an array, you thereby create a "disk". the disk needs a partition table and partition in order to be used, otherwise its just unallocated space. [22:33] I wont ask again after this, I have a kiosk running lubuntu and need a screensaver that will activate after 5-10 seconds that will feature a slide to unlock function. Its not for security its just to make sure all screen touches are deliberate and buttons are not pressed from someone brushing up against the kiosk. [22:33] hey, is there a possibilty to set up networkmanager so it only controls one of my two wireless interfaces=? [22:33] However, my array is clearly working: md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1] [22:34] Roasted: you do not need partitions on a disk to put a file system on it [22:34] sarit, well a file system is kinda what I was referring to. I guess I wasn't using wording right. [22:34] Roasted: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda; mount /dev/sda /something will work as well (it will format the whole disk) [22:34] sarit, so you're saying it's possible to have a file system on an array without a partition table? [22:34] sarit, and thereby I should just ignore my /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table error? [22:35] Roasted: yes, mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0; mount /dev/md0 /mountpoint [22:35] hi, is it possible to wake my laptop after hibernation (writing ram to hdd) with a key stroke like it is sued to be with suspending (kepping ram in ram) [22:35] sarit, it seems as if my NAS (also running a raid 1 array) also gives the same output. hmm. glad to see that now. [22:35] <|COM|Styx> hullo [22:36] <|COM|Styx> i'm trying to find the source of a problem with my nvidia card [22:36] Roasted: there's no reason to do fdisk /dev/md0 [22:36] <|COM|Styx> does the default x86_64 ubuntu kernel have the magic syskey enabled, by any chance? [22:36] sarit, I wasn't. I did sudo fdisk -l because I was trying to see if my flash drive was detected that I plugged in. That's when I saw that partition table error and thought "what the??" [22:37] Roasted: never mind that error, "fdisk -l" does also fdisk -l /dev/md0 [22:37] hi all how can I convert lastest ATI driver in a deb package? [22:37] sarit, right, I'm just saying I didn't specifically run fdisk on the md0. I just noticed it when troubleshooting something else. [22:38] help! ive broken my laptop! i had ubuntu 10.10 installed. i then installed windows 7 and couldnt get back into ubuntu. then booted into ubuntu using 10.04 live disc and tried to fix grub. now when i boot up my laptop it says "grub loading" and then just gives a blank screen [22:38] is there a way to send a message to another user on the local network using pidgin? just wanting to try some new things with linux :) [22:38] bilz: Boot the live CD again. I'll help you fix it more carefully [22:38] edbian, booting it up now. thanks :) [22:38] bilz, maybe grub is broken [22:38] or is pidgin not the best tool for this? [22:38] bilz: sure [22:38] maru_: grub is definitely broken [22:39] edbian, right, im in [22:39] yeah. simply fix it with a live CD [22:39] thevaliantx, I don't know with pidgin but i hope that you can use write command [22:39] bilz: You need to mount your ubuntu root in /mnt Do you know how to do that? [22:39] how to make swap load all its stuff back to mem? [22:39] hey, is there a possibilty to set up networkmanager so it only controls one of my two wireless interfaces?

[22:40] bilz: I'd rather have it in /mnt but that's ok too. (putting it in /mnt makes it easier to type the full path later) [22:40] bilz: What folder is it in then? /media// ? [22:40] yep [22:41] bilz: this is a 10.10 live Cd and a 10.10 install correct? [22:41] edbian, no. 10.04 livecd, a 10.10 install [22:42] HELP!!!

Close enough. Anything older than 11.04 uses the verison of grub we need :) [22:42] msg thevaliantx man write [22:42] excellent :) [22:42] bilz: Anyway, here is what you need to run: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ /dev/sda [22:42] bilz: I am assuming you have only one harddrive [22:42] edbian, exactly what I did [22:43] steal, am doing that now :) problem is, i'm not sure what my wife's username is or how to find it on the network. [22:43] bilz: Really... [22:43] edbian, yeah. one hard drive, partitioned though [22:44] bilz: run this then: sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory="/media/ /dev/sda [22:44] bilz: It will give more output. [22:44] I have a emachine with onboard nvidia 6100 and fresh install of ubuntu 10.04. why dose the recommended driver run so slow ? [22:45] nellwee, well it could be a few things,, first make sure you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed [22:45] bilz: You can pastebin the output if you'd like (I'd like that :) ) [22:45] nellwee, then that would be listed under /system/preferences/ or just run ccsm [22:45] !pm-suspend-hybrid [22:46] how can i ask the bot something? [22:46] edbian, have you made a typo in that last statement? [22:46] you have an unclosed " [22:46] bilz: yeah I forgot to close my quotes [22:46] bilz: good catch [22:46] thanks [22:46] nellwee, once in ccsm click on the OpenGL plugin to get into it's settings and untick the "Sync to VBlank" option [22:46] !msgthebot > sammitch [22:46] sammitch, please see my private message [22:46] edbian, i mean, where does the unclosed quoet go :) [22:47] nellwee, although,, I have a 6600gt on one machine as onboard,, its "ok" not great [22:47] bilz: run this then: sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory="/media/" /dev/sda [22:47] sammitch, try /msg the bot [22:47] coz_, ill try that. I use hardware drivers and installed recommended driver and was very slow so I removed it and now it is back to normal. did not know compiz would effect that [22:47] arand: thx [22:47] edbian, Installation finished. No error reported. [22:47] nellwee, well the sync to vblank actually may be the culprit not compiz [22:48] bilz: Was there any more detail than that? [22:48] edbian, nope. : [22:48] coz_, I dont understand what that is [22:48] shall i try and reboot and see what happens? === Flecks is now known as Fleck [22:48] (again) [22:48] bilz: yep!

[22:51] hybrid ssd & [22:51] coz_, hardware drivers shows 3 drivers and only one says recommended and when i installed it all my windows come up slowly from bottom of screen to top . after installing ubuntu I ran all updates first then hardware driver last for video [22:51] nellwee, well it is part of nvidia driver,, specifics I cant give at this point,, however,, it can interfere with how fluid the windows , etc are drawn [22:51] edbian, sure, give me a sec [22:52] nellwee, install the "current" driver then reboot the system [22:54] coz_, would one of the other drivers work or is the default driver that ubuntu installs work for 3d support? that is what I did before on driver then reboot and it ran slowly after reboot [22:54] edbian, http://www.pastebin.com/w1auuUDa [22:54] nellwee, well I would attemtp the nvidia_current right now,, reboot,, install compizconfig-settings-manager then disable sync to vblank to test [22:55] nellwee, it can also be disabled in nvidia-settings as well [22:55] coz_, ok will try that, thanks [22:55] nellwee, no problem,, let me know if you get stuck [22:55] mmmm, primary partition problem or something?

[22:59] Johnnee_: you'd do wise to follow advice, calm down, [22:59] Help, I'm on the dev team of RawTherapee and we've found an issue with our gtkrc themes in Ubuntu 11.04. The background color appears white and we don't know what's wrong. Can anyone please advise? Screenshot of RawTherapee in Ubuntu 11.04: http://i.imgur.com/910y9.png How it's supposed to look, screenshot from Fluxbox: http://i.imgur.com/PqJnZ.png [23:00] edbian, have you left us :( [23:00] It works fine in KDE and Windows and non-11.04 Ubuntus [23:00] you calm down.. [23:00] does anyone know if Firefox 5 will use GTK 3? [23:00] DrSlony, let me install it and test [23:00] Johnnee_: saying "HELP!"...... isn't very polite/useful, just explain the issue, and if they can, someone will help you [23:00] Johnnee_, hmm? Oh I am. I'm just asking you to mind your manners. Now, whats the issue. [23:01] im good thanks [23:01] ikonia: I've asked several times, politely and patiently. Yet no one even responds when I ask why the gpg: conflicting commands error comes up. Just dead silence. I'm just a little upset at the lack of addressal or anything at least. [23:01] DrSlony: have you tested with any other gnome 3 packages [23:01] intlkleinblue: someone may not know the answer, or have time to help [23:01] Johnnee_, K, good luck. [23:01] i feel youre the ones being rude and arrogant so i'll get help somewhere else thanks [23:01] DrSlony: sorry, any other gtk3 distros/packages [23:01] Johnnee_: ok - bye [23:02] ikonia have I tested any other gtk3 packages in ubuntu 11.04? [23:02] DrSlony: no, tested your product against any other gtk3 rendered software, eg: fedora 15, [23:02] ikonia http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/issues/detail?id=794 [23:02] DrSlony, Also opensuse and ArchLinux sport it. [23:03] DrSlony: that doesn't answer my question [23:03] DrSlony: if you're a developer on a project, I expect much better base analysis of problems [23:03] I think I'm gonna rm-rf my laptop and just go back to Windows. This is ridiculous. [23:03] intlkleinblue, What is the issue? [23:03] Hi [23:03] can anyone help me fix my ubuntu - windows 7 dual boot? i had ubuntu 10.10, installed windows 7, lost my grub. now i cant seem to reinstall the grub properly? [23:03] intlkleinblue, that's not going to solve anything or make you understand the issue better [23:04] dump windows 7 [23:04] nemor: that's not helpful [23:04] NictraSavios: Thank You. You see, I've been trying to update my computer running 10.04 LTS. I try running the sudo apt-get update command and I get this error come up at the end all the time: [23:04] ikonia it doesn't answer your question, it offers more information on the subject [23:04] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4EA3A911D48B8E25 [23:04] nemor, windows 7 was working before i tried to fix ubuntu... [23:04] no, i havent tested in fedora 15 [23:04] bilz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows this one helped me [23:04] DrSlony: yes, but I asked a question not more information [23:04] I'm having an issue with ubuntu 11.04, it will give me the keychain ulock screen five or six times and I'll fill it out, and then it will connect [23:04] sammitch, thats the one i used, and now ive broke them both. [23:05] DrSlony: it provides no more information that what you've already pasted in this channel [23:05] ikonia i offered more information of my own accord before answering your question. [23:05] Then, after I ask in this channel, I get pointed to this command: ssudo apt-key add --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4EA3A911D48B8E25 [23:05] But running this only results in this error: `gpg: conflicting commands` [23:05] ikonia assuming the theme is wrong in fedora 15, what's the issue? [23:05] intlkleinblue, You should have googles that. It means your missing a key. Part of Ubuntus security is that each repo must have a signed key, you simply need to add it in. If you get a confliction error, http://thinkhole.org/wp/2006/01/03/public-key-not-available/ [23:05] DrSlony: I'd look at the base differences between the desktops, the core thing is gtk3 [23:05] This is where I am stuck, NictraSavios [23:06] bilz: what ubuntu do you use? [23:06] Nictra, was that to me? [23:06] I actually did Google the problem before coming here, and I saw that exact post as well. [23:06] sammitch, 10.10 [23:06] but im using 10.04 live cd [23:06] bilz what do you see at boot [23:06] intlkleinblue, give me one seccond, ill get a command for you to type in [23:06] mistermcfisher, huh? [23:06] nemor, a blank screen [23:07] if I hold down shift, it says "grub loading" then i reach the blackscreen again [23:07] Nictra, sorry also having trouble with keychain [23:08] bilz: hm... i am not sure if it safe to recover a 10.10 ubuntu witha 10.04 live cd... althought tey state that only 11.04 and higher have an ew grub version... [23:08] intlkleinblue, here, this may help http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu [23:08] ikonia so you don't actually know what the problem is? "I'd look into gtk3" is quite obvious, I was hoping that people who would respond to my question would actually have experienced something similar and would be able to point me closer to the problem. [23:08] mistermcfisher, Whats the error your getting? [23:08] bilz: are you on your live system now? [23:08] sammitch: grub2 works fine with Ubuntu 10.10 [23:08] DrSlony: well seeing as you've done no debugging and given me no information to work with, it's pretty hard to give you the exact problem or a possible resolution [23:08] ikonia "no debugging"? [23:09] It is saying that my keyring didn't unlock when I log in and then making me log in five or six times [23:09] where was installed grub [23:09] DrSlony: the fact that if you think "it's gtk3 is quite obvious" why have you not tested it with other gtk3 rendering projects/distros to prove/disprove this [23:09] sarit: thx for your concern... there is someone trying to fix a 10.10 ubuntu with a 10.04 live cd... that's why i medntioned it... do you knwo something about that? [23:09] sammitch, yes\ [23:09] Hi all, any1 feel like helping me troubleshoot CS1.6 wine/Steam [23:09] in mbr or /boot [23:09] pappa_bear_: guy in ##winehq can [23:09] Hey [23:09] mistermcfisher, Oh thats a differnt keyring. Yes I know about that issue, Give me a second I got your back [23:09] hi everyone [23:10] ikonia i came here to save time installing other distros, hoping to get a response from people who've had similar gtkrc issues [23:10] i was there last night... noone answeed me [23:10] bilz: just to know... how experinced are you with ubuntu/linux.... just to know with whom i am dealing. [23:10] do you know of any guide to help me install "pyopencl"? [23:10] i have the package i just cant for the life of me get it to install [23:10] nictrasavios I'll brb [23:10] is there a teamviewer like thing for ubuntu? what I am trying to do is set up something so I can control my computer remotely without setting up port forwarding (I do have a dedicated server with port forwarding if that helps, which can be used to handle incomming connections) [23:10] mistermcfisher, Click on Places, Home Folder.

(By the way, if you want to always view hidden files, you can click on Edit, Preferences and click the box in front of Show hidden and backup files.) Browse to the folder called .gnome2, and then to the folder called keyrings. Inside it is a file called default.keyring. Delete it and the next time you enter a site or [23:10] mount with a password, it'll ask for a keyring password, and then you can set a new one. [23:10] sammitch: haven't done it myself, but if it's only grub that is the issue, should work fine (regardless if you install grub legacy or grub2) [23:11] mistermcfisher, Then simply leave both feilds blank. [23:11] DrSlony: don't lie - you didn't know it was a gtk issue, or you'd not be pointing out that it works in fluxbox or other such desktops [23:11] sammitch, not very experienced [23:11] DrSlony: I suggest as a developer you stop expecting people to debug your package problems and start doing the basics and giving people more information to actually helpyou [23:11] BY JOVE! Thank you so much everyone! [23:11] coz i unchecked synk to vblank and rebooted again, also double checked it in compiz and is unchecked there but still the windows all come up slowly and has a delay on everything [23:11] sammitch, used it for a while but never really learnt all the technical details [23:11] do you have any live cd that works fine bilz [23:11] intlkleinblue, No problem. [23:11] bilz: so is it ok when we ok through the how to i linked again to amke sure you didn't mix or miss anything? [23:11] nemor, yes. the one ive booted from [23:11] intlkleinblue, It just takes a little google, and alot of DIY [23:12] and u r using now right [23:12] samrose: ... when we go through the... [23:12] of course [23:12] nemor, sure. sammitch , sure [23:12] i can tell you exactly what i did [23:12] maybe someone can help you in detail [23:12] it asked me to mount the ubuntu drive [23:12] usually in those cases i reinstall everything [23:12] gotta love trolls [23:12] Has anybody here experienced issues with gtkrc theme files which worked fine in GTK2 but started not displaying correct colours in GTK3/Ubuntu 11.03? [23:12] sorry ;) [23:12] pappa_bear_: ? [23:12] is there a teamviewer like thing for ubuntu? what I am trying to do is set up something so I can control my computer remotely without setting up port forwarding (I do have a dedicated server with port forwarding if that helps, which can be used to handle incomming connections) [23:13] DrSlony, GTK 3 is a total rewrite of the gnome stack. === grekkos is now known as Guest72353 [23:13] to do that, i simply clicked on places -> 115 GB Filesystem (which is my ubuntu partition) which opened the file browser. this immediately mounts the drive [23:13] DrSlony: this is not gtk debugging - try #gtk or do some debugging yourself for your own software [23:13] It seems my problem was answered long ago by Pici and IdleOne. The problem was I followed guntbert and changed the 'adv' in the command to 'add'. This changed everything when I used the straight command given by Pici and IdleOne. A thousand bows, ikonia, Pici, IdleOne, and NictraSavios !! [23:13] DrSlony, things have changed. Read up on it, join the gnome devel team. [23:13] sammitch, I went to /media/ to check that it wasmy ubuntu partition, and it was [23:13] NictraSavios ok [23:13] try to locate grub.cfg [23:13] intlkleinblue, Lmao, alright [23:14] sammitch, i then did "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda" where the number is replaced with my number. i got no errors to report [23:14] bilz: do you have only one hard dsik or more? [23:14] If I run a program in wine, how do I know where the binary is on the HDD?? [23:14] hey guys, what controls the fonts in sites like facebook.com? [23:15] seems all my fonts are really tiny [23:15] bliket_, eh teamviewer [23:15] sammitch, one hard disk, partitioned several times [23:15] sorry I disconnected [23:15] sarkis: Ctrl-+ [23:15] djBoLoN, is there something better? [23:15] works fine for me [23:15] sarkis, Right click on desktop > change wallpaper > fonts tab > boost the size of em [23:15] Hello people, i would like to enable disale transmission using terminal. is this possible [23:15] Nictra, I'm in that folder but I don't see the file you specified [23:16] kv102t: Disable how? [23:16] is it login.keyring? [23:16] corey, i want to be able to ssh in and tur on thw web access part, not leave it open all the time [23:16] i have onboard nvidia 6100 and installed recommended current driver on ubuntu 10.04 and turned off synk to vblank and installed compiz manager and checked to see if synk to vblank is off there too then rebooted and still very very slow response with ubuntu desktop. anyone know a fix?? [23:16] mistermcfisher, Hmm. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615575 ? [23:16] I'll check it out [23:16] kv102t: Stop and start the service, presumably. /etc/init.d/SERVICE stop/start [23:17] mistermcfisher, Yes :P, keyring [23:17] and another problem [23:17] NictraSavios, is that the file? [23:17] the login.keyring? [23:17] bilz: also do you have now two fresh installed systems... so in case something brakes nothing is lost... apart from time? [23:17] mistermcfisher, Probably. Things probably changed in unity, so id bet thats it [23:17] corey: when it's disabled, i don't want opn port on server. but transmisson should still download information. [23:18] kv102t: So firewall it off I suppose. [23:18] sammitch, i have most my important stuff backed up on a separate partition [23:18] wasn't time money? [23:18] !ufw | kv102t [23:18] kv102t: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [23:18] sammitch, though I was really hoping i wouldnt have to format the crap out of everything :( [23:18] do you guys know which font controls the website fonts? [23:18] NictraSavios, it also seems that I disconnect randomly, I've only been able to rely on my phone as a modem which is connected to the same network my PC disconnects from [23:18] mistermcfisher, Ouch, networking. Sorry, I know nothing about that :( [23:19] search file grub.cfg [23:19] or menu.lst [23:19] corey: using the firewall, is it easy to make a quick access chane? [23:19] mistermcfisher, Sounds like it may be something other then your PC though. [23:19] kv102t: One line. Could even script it. [23:19] maybe just a prob of menu visualization timeout etc [23:20] sarkis, its usually in the browser configuration but some? sites override this [23:20] is there a channel for nvidia linux driver support? [23:20] bilz: don'T worry... jsut wanted to check ot the situaton [23:20] sarkis: Font usually are defined in css (you can see source of site in any browser) [23:20] corey: thanks, i'll read up :) [23:21] sammitch, do I need to run something like update-grub [23:22] bilz: it will not hurt [23:22] where can I get some help with installing starcraft 2 through Wine? [23:22] good idea [23:22] bilz: i was reading your fromer post and compared them to the website... seems you did everthing correctly... [23:22] but from where [23:22] bilz: so after this grub install... can you still boot windows? [23:23] trailoryo: /j #winehq [23:23] sammitch, maybe im mounting wrong or something? sudo update-grub gives an error [23:23] qin: tyvm [23:23] /usr/sbin/probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [23:24] I have a USB drive that I've formatted as ext4. It seems that after some period of time, something fails, and the system brings the device up again. Wondering if I have a faulty drive? http://paste.ubuntu.com/630571/ [23:24] looks like it was in the browser settings needed to adjust that [23:24] thats what i was looking for === derp|gone is now known as Snooki [23:25] :'( fix my ubuntu sammitch ;9 [23:25] Hello. One of my Ubuntu laptops crashed. Now it can't mount /dev/sda2. I have booted to a Natty LiveCD. 'sudo e2fsck -fv /dev/sda2' says the device is busy. Mounting hangs and becomes uninterruptible. Any ideas? [23:25] bilz: ok,what do you get with the command 'mount' ? [23:25] bilz, at the grub loader, press c (unless it drops you to a command prompt anyway), type ls and locate your partition (note the way they are written) type in root=(hd0,msdosX) , if that dosent work, put set root=(hd0,msdosX) , where X is the partiton number of the root partition (the number from /dev/sdaX) [23:26] JamesJRH: what does dmesg say about it? [23:26] JamesJRH: Is sda2 /home, and how large? [23:26] sammitch, it appears mounted [23:26] bliz, then type in ls /boot/ locate your kernel (vmlinuz?), and type linux /boot/XXkernelnamehereXX , then initrc /boot/XXinitimagehereXX [23:26] aborted journal [23:26] bliz finnaly, type boot.

[23:27] "at the grub loader" - i never get there [23:27] i have had probs with ext4 then changed filesystem [23:27] i am not sure it is so stable yet [23:28] bliket_: you want a how to follow a how to? [23:28] yeah [23:28] lol [23:28] i am confused [23:28] bilz, , just do this. simpler http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala [23:28] hi [23:28] bliket_: which bit baffles? [23:28] have you ever considered other filesystems mrmcgibby [23:28] all the ips and all [23:28] bliket_: not hard. do you have a more specific question? [23:29] i just cant seem to get it [23:29] i would try an dformat it with another filesystem hoping is not the drive which has problems [23:29] guys i need some help with a fresh ubuntu installation [23:29] I got two computers one is here and one is remote [23:29] nemor: I could try another one, it just seems that the device itself is having problems, and the filesystem problems are only incidental [23:29] mrmcgibby: Looks like a cleanup was attempted. Then it says '----[ cut here ]----'. [23:29] other filesystems? = jfs, xfs, ext3 [23:29] sammitch, www.pastebin.com/UqSDcnzC [23:29] NictraSavios, it doesnt matter that that is 9.10? [23:30] is there a better tutorial on how to do this? [23:30] bliket_: you need to ask a more specific question [23:30] that's also possible [23:30] bilz: no, 9.10 and higher use the same grub - so same way tzo fix [23:30] , mrmcgibby [23:30] tzo = to [23:30] mrmcgibby, i just can't get it to work, and its confusing.... [23:30] qin: No. 55GiB [23:30] JamesJRH: could you pastebin it? [23:31] bliz grub2 is grub2 [23:31] mrmcgibby, i can compile files and write code and solve dependencies and set up most things in linux, but this tutorial has me all confused [23:31] bliz I used that on Arch Linux, Its infact part of a Gentoo installation. [23:31] bliz There univeral command s:P [23:31] bliket_: what specifically isn't working for you? [23:31] mrmcgibby: How do I get the "cut" output?

L-ittle I-nsipit and S-tupid P-arentheses [23:35] python?.ok tnx ill ask google for python tutorial [23:35] tnx [23:35] ubuntu_noob they are all seperate languages. . . it all depends on your preference. . . some are easier to learn than others [23:35] ubuntu_noob python is a strong efficient language and you don't have to compile [23:35] NictraSavios: I want to switch to using ubuntu as my main OS, but I'm still worried about compatibility issues [23:35] maybe its time to get rid.... [23:36] Spynxic, I can help you with those :), Are you experanceing any issues now? Have anything your worried about? [23:36] tnx papa bear..il think ill study python first then maybe c++ later [23:36] bliket_: read the man page for ssh on the -R and -L options. That howto is terrible [23:36] bilz: rid? [23:36] mrmcgibby, that is exactly what i am doing now :D [23:36] ubuntu_noob, Personally, I code in C++ and objective-C , I started with Java and python.

[23:39] yes, i was using it for .net [23:39] nemor, Moonlight , and flash is available for ubuntu. [23:39] Spynxic: CS (steam) install via wine, and do not deliver too many issues. [23:39] i mean [23:39] adobe flash [23:39] hey guys i could use a general advise: I put some mountpoints from an external USB-Drive into fstab.. the device however gets populated after the boot process... In which scripts would you put the mounting commands? [23:39] the maker [23:39] sorry for names [23:39] sammitch, what else do you propose? [23:39] init.d probably ? [23:40] moonlight doesn't work always always [23:40] hello [23:40] so the /dev/sda contains a /boot folder? [23:40] so the /dev/sda1 contains a /boot folder? [23:40] yes [23:40] tuxuser, Edit the fstab as normal, but mount them in /media/foldername and use the defaults,nofail option. [23:40] a box with 3 network cards, eth0 linked to Internet, eth1 to LAN-A and eth2 to LAN-B, How can I make LAN-A having a higher priority than LAN-B for Internet bandwidth (give all bandwidth to eth1 when there's a request fom LAN-A and give back bandwidth to eth2 when transfer's finished) ? [23:40] nofail means it tries till it succeeds, correct? [23:40] qin: I always assumed Wine was for simple files, like running one exe at a time. Not a full complex program [23:41] tuxuser, nofail means, if it aint there, we dont care [23:41] bilz have you tried to google your problem [23:41] Hello, I am seeking help with 2 Ubuntu 10.04 systems, they cannot share files with eachother via samba and I am at a loss of what to do, looked around the ubuntu forums and still no progress. If anyone is able to help me please PM me or something :/ [23:41] ah :) thanks alot [23:41] yes] [23:41] is there anyway to command line out of my current desktop environment straight into gnome without going through the login screen? [23:41] pappa_bear_: just sent you a pm [23:41] Spynxic: No, it is power-horse with can do attitute [23:41] bilz: you probably hate me by now [23:41] :p [23:41] tuxuser, try noauto aswell, that will no automaticly mount it durring boot, then make a small bash script, and add it to the startup prorgrams to have them mounted when everything else is loading up :P (alot later in boot) [23:42] also a good idea :) [23:42] bilz: Can I see sudo fstab -l ? === kefir is now known as kefir_away [23:42] windows is addictive [23:42] like cookies [23:42] sorry: sudo fdisk -l [23:42] embedded system rock so much.. they are almost TOO fast in bootin lol [23:42] bilz: there is also a command 'update-grub2' did you try that? [23:42] nemor, more like crack, its about as healthy for you as that [23:42] bilz: Are you reinstalling grub? [23:42] edbian, http://www.pastebin.com/w1auuUDa [23:42] sammitch, yes [23:42] qin, yes [23:42] When I was running Linux Mint a few months ago, I could use the command sudo apt-get search, now I get an error with that command. Does apt-cache search return the exact same results? [23:43] don't underestimate the hideous power of cookies [23:43] What distro, and what liveCD? [23:43] bilz: ^^^ [23:43] distro: 10.10, livecd, 10.04 [23:43] Spynxic, I belive that it is. I think mint uses apt-get search as an alias for it. [23:43] language that is a mystery [23:43] why language works and when it fails [23:43] bilz: so when you reboot you get grub, but booting into ubuntu or windows won't work? [23:43] bilz: Your partition table is strange. [23:44] !mute | nemor [23:44] is anyone familiar with git not installing due to 'dpkg-maintscript-helper: not found' ? http://pastebin.com/s9ATq0xw [23:44] !offtopic | nemor [23:44] nemor: #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! [23:44] edbian, figured [23:44] bilz: /dev/sda1 is your linux though I see. Look at man grub [23:44] Spynxic: The is aptitude search and apt-cache search, but no apt-get search, unless Mint is weird. [23:44] bilz: man install-grub (I'm full of typos tonight) [23:45] edbian: grub-install, no? [23:45] arand, They use alias "apt-get search"="apt-cache search" [23:45] no manuel entry , edbian [23:45] does anyone know if it's possible to repair a 3gp video that's gone a bit wrong? [23:45] bilz: or perhaps it's grub-install (I don't remember) [23:45] bilz: Did you mounted / ? [23:45] haha [23:45] qin: He did with me in /media/ [23:45] . [23:45] bilz: You need to mount via menu>places to make it easy.

[23:46] ive looked at the manuel, edbian , but not sure exactly what im looking for [23:47] bilz: Do you have '--boot-directory' or '--root-directory' ? [23:47] edbian, root-directory [23:47] bilz: unmount it, reboot and mount via places, and: mount | tail -1 [23:47] bilz: ok, that's what we've been using [23:47] edbian: bilz you have to use --roor-directory [23:47] sammitch: Except on 11.04 (but we're not using that right now) [23:48] bilz: Do you have a /boot/grub/ inside your ubuntu / ? [23:48] edbian: yes [23:48] edbian, you mean /mnt//boot/grub? [23:48] oh, sorry, no number [23:48] bilz: yes [23:48] you mean /mnt/boot/grub [23:48] bilz: whatever, you know hwat I mean [23:49] bilz: yes that [23:49] edbian, its there [23:49] bilz: with stuff in it? [23:49] lots of stuff in it [23:49] lots of .mod files [23:49] why, on ubuntu 11.04 x64, when i do iwconfig wlan0 essid 'anyessid', does it not set the essid (iwconfig wlan0 shows 'ESSID:""') [23:49] bilz: k good sign [23:49] it doesn't show any errors [23:49] acts as though it would if it set the essid [23:49] but doesn't set the essid [23:49] bilz: let's look at the MBR and see if grub is there. dd if=/dev/sda of=myMBR bs=1 count=512 [23:49] this is when using the adapter in ad-hoc [23:50] edbian: bilz sorry, i've to sleep now... guess edbian will take porper care fo you ;) good luck... in case, jsut f*ck windows and go for ubuntu only :P sometimes, it helps to let things like they are and try again the next day... often helped me [23:50] it works with ad-hoc with networkmanager every 1/1000 tries [23:50] sammitch: bye! :) [23:50] essid gets set right every time [23:50] with networkmanager [23:50] thanks sammitch , see ya [23:50] bilz: my hlep wasn't much tough... merly 0 :P [23:51] edbian, www.pastebin.com/e4V5zhne [23:51] bilz: that looks good.

[23:52] bilz: the dd command created a file called myMBR the file command will let you read it [23:52] :/ [23:53] bilz: What's wrong?

[23:54] edbian, http://www.pastebin.com/V3Qe216S [23:54] bilz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:55] bilz: Something is wrong here. There is no grub installed to this HDD. [23:55] bilz: It should read: mbr: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, stage2 address 0x2000... [23:55] then partition stuff [23:55] bilz: grub is not mentioned at all here [23:56] ah. definitely not that. what's my next move? [23:56] bilz: What happens when you boot ? [23:56] edbian, I just get a black screen [23:56] bilz: What happens when you press shift ? [23:56] cant select either operating system [23:56] sigh [23:56] this is a five minute task on windows... why is it so impossible on ubuntu? [23:56] bilz: You can't get a menu to show up at all? [23:57] ed1703, when I hold shift it says "grub loading" and ten i get back the blackscreen again [23:57] != faster [23:57] edbian, dont think so. unless there are other keys I can press to try? [23:57] bilz: This drive isn't a raid or something weird right. This isn't wubi or a VM ? [23:57] In ubuntu, how do I change the console (CTRL+ALT+F-key) keyboard layout? [23:57] bilz: shift is the magic key [23:58] its an ACER laptop. nothing weird as far as I know. Not a VM [23:58] trancegeek: thought you said it was the work of seconds with network-manager? [23:58] don't really understand what problem you're having [23:58] networkmanager refuses to reliably set up an ad-hoc network [23:58] bilz: you have ubuntu mounted in /mnt right? [23:58] it works 1/1000 times [23:58] i'm trying to do it the manual way [23:58] how do I execute a command in ssh after opening an ssh connection? like "ssh -u user -p pass someserver.com&&ls"? [23:59] and the manual way refuses to set an essid [23:59] edbian, yeah. checked /mnt/home/billy to check all my old files are there and it is [23:59] bilz: can you show me /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst ? [23:59] bilz: Particularly the end of it ?
