[00:02] hey guys, simple question that feels noobish. How do I make a user an admin from terminal? [00:02] I know adduser makes users... but I need to upgrade one of them to admin [00:02] gr8 gparted. i was wondering if i would then have to back up everything on ubuntu, then reinstall and reload all files [00:02] taraduffy: what kind of drive is it that you're trying to mount? [00:02] Gaming4JC: sudo visudo [00:02] I just installed compiz on my xubuntu 11.04, how do i make it start automatically and how I can stil keep my old hotkeys (alt f2 for launcher etc...) [00:03] gry_: thanks much :) [00:03] yeats: hard drive of machine. Something went wrong suddenly was working fine. [00:03] coz_ and qin: thanks, when changing the opacity, it works [00:03] how do i get my computer information on ubuntu its easy in windows [00:03] Gaming4JC: err see "man usermod" maybe, apparently you just have to add user to group "admin" there [00:03] i can tell u hard drive and everything thn [00:03] Will try to instance on of them out later [00:03] uhgtt: Nautilus. [00:04] yeats: I get s for skip or m for manual recovery option [00:04] right one second then will use it [00:04] uhgtt: Left pane. :-) [00:04] taraduffy: so you're able to boot... this is a secondary drive? === green91` is now known as green91 [00:05] yeats: can boot to grub loader screen, then gets stuck. [00:05] hmm [00:05] evince: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied [00:06] What is going on here guys? [00:06] soreau: you broke it, duh [00:06] taraduffy: (big storm coming through - may lose power) so when it gets stuck, can you do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a prompt? [00:07] yeats: yes [00:07] i dont know nautilus scripts [00:07] taraduffy: okay - so you can log into that prompt? [00:07] Seems like cuz_ is already gone. [00:07] i used it to get access to rkunher log [00:07] but dont see any system info [00:07] nething i can type into console [00:07] yeats: yes. Then I get the usual options (drive is partitioned); so I select normal option and then get stuck [00:07] uhhh crap, I had another xchat session open and was minimized to the tray but I deleted the panel, and uhh I added all the necessary items to the panel but the xchat session won't show? [00:08] what can I do... [00:08] uhgtt: http://i.imgur.com/eHP4P.png [00:08] umm [00:08] ah [00:08] uhgtt, are you on the bug squad? [00:08] hold on [00:08] scuse me [00:08] very rude [00:08] uhgtt: if you are looking for something like Device Manager try lshw lspci and lsusb in terminal [00:09] taraduffy: I'm confused then... you get to the GRUB screen, then Ubuntu starts booting until you see "s for skip or m for manual recovery option" [00:09] I got xfce . how make icons apear on desktop with full name? [00:09] me too [00:09] ok will try that command thanks [00:09] yeats: yes. [00:09] uhgtt: that is three commands [00:09] yes i figured (just!) [00:09] taraduffy: okay - when you get to that point, type "m" [00:09] do i need sudo bfore them [00:10] yeats: OK. [00:10] sudo lshw oh ill just try it [00:10] ctr alt t [00:10] uhgtt: not sure about ubuntu. And there is a ton of info, so you might want to pipe each to a file 'lshw > lshw.txt' [00:10] taraduffy: I'm assuming that puts you at a bash prompt where you can login, no? [00:10] lshw comes up with warning you should run this as super user [00:11] what have u made me do [00:11] uhgtt: yeah...it just shows all the hw info [00:11] yeats: yes, I get root@taraduffy-lapto: [00:11] ok hold on [00:12] uhgtt: just tried it in my debian, no lshw....hmmmmmm...but the other two work [00:12] taraduffy: oh good. now type "mount -a" and tell me what message it gives [00:12] taraduffy: if it's alot of output, please paste to http://goo.gl/ixcN9 and share the link [00:13] yeats: no medium found on /dev/sr0 [00:13] guess they really want to push the unity GUI in 11.04 eh? [00:13] yeats: mount point does not exist. [00:14] how do i get my mic to work on ubuntu 10.10???? [00:14] actually my headset doesnt work [00:14] Wiesshund: there's always selecting Ubuntu Classic at login [00:14] which is what I do tbh [00:15] ok how to use pastebin [00:15] is Gnome3 going to be included in 11.10?

Just use 'sudo' to run the tasks which require access, but to login as root isn't necessary or expected [00:15] taraduffy: /dev/sr0 should be your CD/DVD ROM drive, not your HDD [00:15] Monotoko: that's the goal [00:16] !pastebin | uhgtt [00:16] uhgtt: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[00:17] taraduffy: can you pastebin the contents of your /etc/fstab? [00:17] do a /server irc.rizon.net [00:17] I wouldnt mind unity if it was not such a pain to change whats on the launcher bar [00:17] thanks got it [00:17] subten: /connect irc.rizon.net or /server irc.rizon.net [00:17] whats my hard drive name [00:18] blimey [00:18] AcidRain: Right, ps do not support usernames, but apache seems to be run by you, grep 8 /etc/passwd [00:18] how do you clear the screen in irc [00:18] subten: /clear [00:18] no idea [00:18] can someone help me with symbian/android/webOS emulators? [00:18] Success: ask away [00:19] taraduffy: when that error you're seeing happens, one of the filesystems listed in /etc/fstab is not available to be mounted for some reason [00:19] im trying to run mandriva on virtual box OSE, but when i insert the mandriva install disc virtual box does not recognize it [00:19] symbian didnt work [00:19] taraduffy: but it's booting from your HDD, not trying to boot from CD-ROM (you are able to login after all) [00:19] pat201: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:20] hey guys [00:20] uhgtt: the hard drive name is "/" or sda1 (see "mount" output) [00:20] hi hilikus [00:20] uhgtt: sd2, sd3, ... or similar [00:20] i have not, how do i proceed? [00:20] why cant i join gry_ to irc.rizon.net [00:20] yeats: I am following; cant get an output from /etc/fstab - it says permission t=denied or command not found. [00:20] !md5 | pat201 [00:20] pat201: 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 [00:20] subten: PM me the error you're getting [00:20] * Permission Denied - You're not an IRC operator [00:20] thank you! [00:21] ah [00:21] subten: ok, try to /server irc.rizon.net instead of /connect [00:21] taraduffy: try 'cat /etc/fstab' [00:21] yeats: am typing:/etc/fstab [00:21] pat201: you just need the hashes of good mandriva images. You have failed to MD5 test the ISO so you have no way of knowing if the image is good [00:21] Finally I got something to hide my IP and bypass Gov proxys in ubuntu [00:21] good computer considering its a couple of years old [00:21] im having problems with hibernation. it works except the screen is all screwed up. there are rows of pixels gradually filling and in the backgroun the real image flickers. i have to go to standby and back to fix it. the weird thing is that the same computer with the same version of ubuntu on an external hdd works fine. any idea what can cause this? i'm trying to avoid a reinstall if possible [00:21] should i bug u guys or android ppl first for android sdk [00:22] gry_ now it says i didnt join a channel [00:22] subten: Then join one [00:22] is there going to be a stable alpha release of 11.04 [00:22] uhgtt, no [00:22] * Looking up irc.rizon.net [00:22] * Connecting to eu.iso.rizon.net (188.126.73.53) port 6667...

[00:23] so is this 'best' version of linux or is something else better for beginners. this came from mag bundled with all apps built in so easy to use not just bare os. [00:23] subten: ?

Thanks. [00:25] it is quite a thing to even consider making jump so much time hassle [00:25] but have been pleasantly surprised knew nothing about it bfore. [00:25] uhgtt: you could try one of the many distros around, one may suit you better [00:25] yeats: (was 1st line). I recall I was trying to change a DVD format or something with a line of code in a terminal involving fstab [00:25] uhgtt: Welcome. [00:25] and have learnt alot without realising it already [00:25] Hey guys, I've been trying to get ubuntu working on my hp pavilion p6777c-b, but it just doesn't want to work right. Whenever I install it, I have problems with the window manager and lose the ability to interact with my screen and or minimize close or maximize windows, can you guys give me a hint as to what the problem might be or how I can fix it? thanks! [00:26] uhgtt: Last Nov I backed up my stuff and reformatted to Ubuntu - haven't looked back since [00:26] Billjuik: does the bar at the top with the window buttons disappear? [00:26] Billjuik: what video chip does it use? [00:26] @trevinc yes it does [00:26] Billjuik: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? [00:26] Give me a second to search [00:26] No, but I used 6 different burnt cd's, and they worked fine on my friends pc [00:26] brb to check graphics chip[ [00:27] ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics [00:27] i regret being put off for life when my dad gave me the machine code and assembly language book with my 48k spectrum when i was under 10!!!! worst thing he could have done. finally getting over phobia may eve [00:27] may even learn c [00:27] Billjuik: ok then when the CD starts to boot, test the RAM and test the CD for defects [00:27] how can i tell which video driver i'm using? [00:27] ASM is a hard way to start [00:27] Okay, I will do that [00:27] uhgtt, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [00:28] uhgtt: I had the 128 +2, was coding it at around the same age :) [00:28] hilikus: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:28] ok ta for help [00:28] Thanks @ActionParsnip :) [00:28] if the partition i have the VM on is 20gigs, how much space should i allocate to mandriva? [00:28] taraduffy: can you type 'nano /etc/fstab' (assuming you're still root, here) and add a '#' to the front of that line, then type Ctrl-X to exit saying yes to the changes? [00:28] pat201, try #mandriva [00:28] hilikus: It's typically the name that's mentioned repeatedly in capital letters at the beginning of lines in the middle of the file [00:28] pat201: I'd ask in the mandriva channel how much it needs and such [00:29] it almost matched my hatred of latin but wont ever get over learning that. ha. amo amas amat amamus amatis amant. au revoir x [00:29] hilikus: of: sudo lshw -C display [00:29] taraduffy: you should then (probably) be able to reboot into your normal setup === anon_ is now known as wildgoose [00:30] how do i reload the pam so .pam_environment is loaded? [00:31] yeats: I get to where you direct me: but cant seem to get out: maybe I am not logged in as root user. [00:31] ok that didn't quite work.

[00:33] JaWS, the puppy channel [00:33] qin: the group 'admin' does not exist... :( ? [00:33] i have a bad mandriva image, is this because i downloaded/burned using linux? [00:34] pat201, doubtful , ask mandriva support in #mandriva though [00:34] hi [00:34] taraduffy: do you get "error writing /etc/fstab: Permission denied"? [00:34] I have a ubuntu 9.0 cd... if I just install that and update is that ok? [00:34] where to put GIT_EDITOR environment variable. [00:34] ? [00:34] fartypants, no. it's end of life.

[00:36] taraduffy: try Ctrl-X and answer no [00:36] yeats: trying. . [00:36] Surely you dont have to uninstall the ubuntu and reinstall the new one [00:37] if someone used ubuntu since 9.0, is there a real difference if they just update it? [00:37] yeats: i get same screen but says read 4 lines (Warning no write permissons). [00:37] fartypants: you can, it creates fewer issues. Release support eventually stops [00:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades fartypants [00:37] ActionParsnip, this indicates .bashrc/.bash_profile is not the place to put them.

[00:39] hmm [00:39] llslim: you will add: export GIT_EDITOR=nano or similar [00:40] ActionParsnip, that just unzip it where I stand, doesn't it? [00:40] Does the new ubuntu have the problem of not waking up from sandby [00:40] taraduffy: what comes up when you type Ctrl-o? [00:40] standby [00:40] mads: yeah [00:40] on a laptop [00:40] fartypants, check launchpad for bugs [00:41] ActionParsnip, but that was not what I asked. [00:41] no bazhang what I mean is... [00:41] ActionParsnip, i understand that. guess i'm trying to understand how to use .pam_environment as said by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [00:41] when you close the laptop lid... it goes to standby [00:41] mads: so you want to output the extract files somewhere else? [00:41] and then when you open it.. it dos not show anything [00:41] yeats: File name to Write: /etc/fstab [blinking cursor] [00:41] taraduffy: type enter [00:41] yeats: thanks for patience :-) [00:42] fartypants, that is a very broad question. it works fine on *my* laptop.

[00:44] fartypants, yes [00:45] taraduffy: no... from GRUB, select the option that says "[recovery mode]" [00:45] bazhang: could it be a driver issue that could cause the "coma" symptoms :) [00:45] lol [00:45] doubt it [00:45] yeats: done. then I s for skip m for recovery.

[01:02] hello [01:02] irssi [01:03] taraduffy: without seeing it, it's hard to know for sure, but it appears that your /etc/fstab is misconfigured to mount your OS read-only [01:03] je0rJey, no not default... sorry [01:03] je0rJey: irssi --nick=name [01:03] taraduffy: no - my hope is that you can use it to get to the /etc/fstab and make some changes === tyler is now known as Guest21598 [01:03] yeats: I see. is my hard drive data OK probably?

[01:05] ActionParsnip, :P unfortunately one is my docked tablet and the other is my xbox neither of which have "ping" capibilities [01:05] taraduffy: "try ubuntu without installing" [01:05] TeamColtra: makes sense, xbox sucks for anything intelligent [01:05] Is there anyone here that can help me with setting up conky? [01:06] ActionParsnip, thats why its built by Microsoft ;) [01:06] yeats: OK. Thanks very much for your help I really appreciate it :-) [01:06] TeamColtra: try amnually setting the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [01:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076 Disturbed1 [01:06] TeamColtra: Windows is built by the same and has ping capabilities, your xbox is just an even more crippled windows system [01:07] taraduffy: sure. I'm going to exit for a minute and be back - I want to change computers ;-) [01:07] yeats: :-) downloading will take some time. .. . [01:07] TeamColtra: you may not be broadcasting DNS settings so you may need to manually set it [01:08] ty bazhang will return if need more help. probably will since i'm not real good at this kind of stuff lol [01:09] ActionParsnip, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 did not fix it [01:09] hi runnin lubuntu 11.04 having problems getting chat plugin for firefox to work, when it says install pluging from the plugin finder nothing happens, got latest java installed also anyone any ideas pls [01:09] TeamColtra: can you web browse to your routers IP address (assuming you have one) [01:11] ActionParsnip, can you rephrase that into dummy terms? :P (or if that was dummy terms -- 5 year old terms :P ) [01:12] TeamColtra: traceroute google.com and point your browser to first ip you will see (number 1) [01:13] this is kind of sad, ive actually find a revision of ubuntu i dont like :( === compuwizard123_ is now known as compuwizard123 [01:15] FBI用的是什么操作系统？ [01:15] !cn | caoxiaomin [01:15] caoxiaomin: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn /join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk [01:16] FBI is what cao zuo xi tong [01:16] caoxiaomin, no [01:16] no ge qiu le .

[01:17] english is pig [01:17] fuck [01:17] caoxiaomin, then exit [01:18] Hmm i think i like 11.04 better than coaxiaomin [01:18] lol [01:18] and i'm uninstalling 11.04 LOL [01:18] hi all, I have a pc with windows 7 on it and it has troubles. Blue screens, freeze ups etc.. I want to figure out if this is a hardware or software problem so that's why I want to try Ubuntu. My usb startup failed and I'm reading now about the WUBI installer. I was wondering: you install it through windows, but when you run it, is it still on top of windows or more independant? [01:19] qin, it brought a popup asking for my username and password [01:19] TeamColtra: Thats your router [01:19] I have a laptop. When it's plugged in (AC), USB works, but when I unplug the AC, all the USB ports stop working, why? [01:19] Danny_Joris_ it is running itself but from a compressed filesystem on the windows partition [01:19] YAY I FOUND MY ROUTER :D -- but I am not actually sure what that means [01:19] Revvy___, because your laptop is broken it would seem [01:20] Wiesshund: cool thanks I'll try it then. So it doesn't touch any windows files... [01:20] Danny_Joris_: more independant, but still not a very good idea to run ubuntu like that [01:20] (I know what a router is... I don't know what I do with the information that i have) [01:20] wols: it isn't? [01:20] Danny_Joris_ no it doesnt [01:20] No, I remember enabling something in Powertop that caused this behaviour, I just don't know what [01:20] Danny_Joris_, it will be fine if you are just testing... unless your windows file system has issues also [01:21] Revvy___, that is useful information... heh [01:21] I just want to figure out if the pc issues are hardware or software related. I wouldn't really use it every day. [01:21] good luck with reversing what you did :) [01:21] I'm using ubuntu in a VM every day already [01:22] Danny_Joris_, it should be fine.. if you find ubuntu unstable... it could definitely point to hardware or hard-drive issues, especially since its running off the same hard-drive [01:22] TeamColtra: That was idea of ActionParsnip, honestly not sure what supposed to be next step. What is problem (simply)? [01:22] cool, thanks all!! :) [01:23] qin, I am trying to go xbox <-eth0-> laptop ((( Wifi ((( router [01:23] why not just go Xbox >>> router ? [01:24] Wiesshund, because my router is upstairs [01:24] or Xbox >>> WIFI [01:24] hi!! [01:24] wifi dongle = $100 [01:24] Wiesshund, assumably distance and no wireless adapter for the xbox ;) [01:24] ^ [01:24] There is also a bit of a "because I can" side to it as well. [01:25] I am typically not using my laptop while I am playing my xbox -- so I have the available technology to do it, why buy more stuff? [01:25] TeamColtra, you need to find a howto to turn your ubuntu install into a gateway/forwarding router for other computers [01:25] hello! Does anyone have any information about the attacks against the Brazilian government sites? [01:25] TeamColtra, unfortunately "doing it yourself" usually means reading and research :) not just the "how do I do this guys?" [01:25] Guest21598, http://askubuntu.com/questions/40683/how-do-i-share-my-connection-with-ics-and-an-xbox-360 <- That guy seems to have got it [01:26] pain: #ubuntu-offtopic [01:26] !ot | pain [01:26] pain: #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! [01:26] Yeah well I found a lot of this on my own already but the steps that I already knew were not working fully... so I needed some extra help from my friends here. (Even though I sound like an idiot, I know at least a little bit of my way around) [01:27] TeamColtra, what have you done so far? [01:28] Well I tried firestarter first -- because I remembered that it had an internet sharing tool... but it doesn't play well with dhcp and is highly out of date. So then I learned that Ubuntu now comes with internet sharing by default so I found the link I provided above. Followed it. I also plugged another device in to see if it was my xbox or my computer [01:28] TeamColtra: Not sure what xbox is (mean how to use it), but you want to build bridge interface binding wlan0 with eth0, and set iptables. === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [01:29] the other device didn't work either. I then tried (at the suggestion of the guy above) setting dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [01:29] and then thats when he left after asking me to do a traceroute [01:29] qin: if he bridges it, I don't think he'll need to use iptables [01:29] haha i did a chown on 40 folders and im at 3.5 load lol [01:29] on a 8 core server [01:29] TeamColtra: In other hand never seen wifi-cable bridge. [01:29] wifi to ethernet bridge? [01:30] create a new bridge (br0) bridging the wireless & eth0, use br0 with dhcp to get your IP from the wireless router, and the xbox will have direct access to the dhcp on the wireless router as well since its simply bridged/switched [01:30] Guest21598: [01:30] Guest21598: It make sens... [01:30] it would work [01:30] all you have to do is bridging [01:31] that is a "simple" way.. but bridging and ubuntu network-manager is not simple for a novice [01:31] so bridge-utils? [01:31] yes [01:32] :P Well I am just going to have to muscle my way through it, thats how I go from novice to expert [01:32] yep [01:32] hey, i am a windows admin, in a linux world [01:32] (lol and when I say muscle my way through it... try and try... and then maybe come in here and get more input from you guys :P ) [01:32] Guest21598: How br0 can get lease from router? [01:32] i have a ton of windows server certs, and yet my company i work for is 98% ubuntu [01:33] un-installing network manager would be a good first move.. but mind you, you are using wireless... that makes the learning curve to do it all manually much steeper :/ [01:33] to bad there aren't ubuntu certs [01:33] just a side note, i found new xbox wifi dongles for 36 dollars :) === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [01:33] TheMatrix3000_, there are linux certs (LPIC/LPI) [01:33] yea [01:33] but those arent just ubuntu lol [01:33] Is a GF215 chip fast enough to run Compiz / Natty on it? [01:33] haha [01:33] there's differences from system to system [01:33] i mean distro to distro [01:33] !ot | TheMatrix3000_ [01:33] TheMatrix3000_: #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! [01:34] Wiesshund, but again -- I have a fully capable system right here... why would I buy something new? [01:34] qin: assuming you are not using network-manager, you simply refer to br0 in your /etc/network/interfaces file the same as you would for an eth0 eth1, etc [01:34] rules shmules [01:34] ntr0py, I would assume no problems with that card [01:34] it needs one second to resize windows... [01:35] guys I have a very weird problem with my wifi connection - once I install the Ati video drivers it get corrupted [01:35] any ideas? [01:35] Guest21598: Hm, did not crossed my mind, thanks. [01:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/633324/ [01:35] picky picky, here this may help you [01:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269235 [01:35] that may help you solve your issue, as they look into performing bridging or "ICS" [01:35] cyperbg, your wifi gets corrupted? [01:36] What graphic Chip would be best to run Compiz in 1920*1080? [01:36] Guest21598 I don't know how to explain it better, but it is working up intil the point where I install the Ati drivers and restart [01:36] TheMatrix3000_, I think ICS would normally mean you are acting as a gateway using forwarding... not bridging.. but of course both can accomplish the same thing [01:36] anyone can help me with something that looks like a kernel panic? [01:36] ubuntu installers won't detect my IDE hard drive in my antique dell for installation. sudo fdisk -l however does see the drive. i can never manage to install to it. [01:37] rufian, Ask away [01:37] gerdon how antique is said dell? [01:37] gerdon, have you tried an older version of ubuntu? circa 6.06 or something? === cmaxwell is now known as cmaxwell|sleep [01:37] its a pentium 4 3.2ghz [01:37] i'm using 10.04 [01:37] oh.. current ubuntu should be fine with that [01:37] gerdon: Did you try to mount it? [01:37] the partition table is wiped on that drive [01:37] sometimes... my laptop crash. I leave it idle... and then I found it with blank screen, and fans at full speed. I have to make REISUB to reboot it. [01:38] nothing to mount. [01:38] when you are in the installer, does it list the drive? [01:38] it does not list the drive in the installer [01:38] guys anyone to help on my weird wifi connection problem? [01:38] gerdon: Is it /dev/sda ?? [01:39] it sure is qin however its an IDE drive [01:39] gerdon: is there a /dev/sdX device? [01:39] and yet if you change to tty1 (L-CTRL+ALT+F1) and sudo fdisk -l, it lists it? [01:39] I have a lot of music cd's to rip.. what's the preferred method of doing it. via Amorak? or Banshee or a stand alone ripper like ripper-x? I would rather the program self discover the tracks etc and do the MP3 id tags itself if possible. [01:39] it lists the hard drive in gnome terminal but does not see it for the installer. [01:40] gerdon: So, sudo mkdir /media/IDE && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/IDE [01:40] maybe cyperbg [01:40] qin, can in install after its mounted ? [01:40] gerdon: Rather check and reformat drive first. [01:41] What would be the minimum requirements to run compiz smoothly in fullhd? [01:42] rhin0 what about me?

[01:48] oh natty? no idea there i could not even get anything in compiz to function outside of unity, so i am rolling back to 10.10 for now [01:48] wols yea i know c and c++ and a couple of other languages [01:48] j4xt0r: then you wouldn't ask [01:48] j4xt0r, http://www.linux-books.us/linux_general_0012.php [01:49] qin, I just tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5637735&postcount=4 and restarted my computer... and now the xbox isn't even recognizing that it is plugged into a network [01:49] wols lol no its just i thaught it was more to it then just writing code. like setting up an compiler to build them [01:49] yes [01:50] Wiesshund: so you are using Maverick now?

[01:51] ntr0py yes [01:51] gerdon: you may have run into a bug where the installer won't see your drive... possibly try an older (or newer) ubuntu installer (10.04, 10.10, 11.04) [01:52] TeamColtra: What interfaces you build bridge on? [01:52] ntr0py i mean making a bootable one of course, not making the drive itself [01:52] http://paste2.org/p/1490918 [01:53] qin, thats my new interface file [01:53] ntr0py, i don't recall if you said you installed latest binary driver from nvidia or not? [01:53] Guest21598: the one shipped with natty [01:54] Oh well I see one error already I changed auto eth1 to auto wlan0 but I forgot to change line 8 [01:54] Wiesshund: what drive would you go for? [01:54] TeamColtra: ifconfig | pastebinit [01:54] my problem in natty was nothing i turned on in compiz actually worked aside from the unity stuff.

[01:57] Guest21598: It lies about proprietary driver of nvidia is aktivated mut not in use (its activated and in use actually)... [01:57] qin, looking at that link it looks like br0 is up and working.. .so hopefully now that i have edited the eth1 to wlan0 it should be all better now eh? [01:57] TeamColtra, line12 is wrong [01:57] you are missing wlan0 [01:57] ah [01:57] nvm :> [01:58] Oh and that [01:58] So pay more attention and replace all the eth1s with wlan0 and all should be good... then do I need to restart my computer again? [01:59] ntr0py, and when you go to System > Preferences > Appearance what does it have for Visual Effects? [01:59] TeamColtra: Just networking [01:59] TeamColtra, yes, reboot is simplest method to guarantee clean changes [01:59] TeamColtra: ...or reboot.

[02:01] :) okay brb [02:01] Guest21598: i dont know what you are talking about in apperence there are no visual effects anymore... [02:01] ntr0py, ahh.. I am on 10.04 ... sorry [02:02] Guest21598: but i missed them there too... [02:02] how much memory you have? [02:02] 16GB [02:02] 1GB gfx [02:02] i would try following manual install of latest nvidia drivers... find a howto for it [02:03] no reason your GF215 shouldn't work [02:03] with natty [02:03] work better* [02:03] Guest21598 i think there is something wrong with the compiz mods of natty [02:03] Guest21598 unity and stuff, maybe thats the reason its so sluggish [02:03] hey guys can i ask a support question here? [02:03] you have latest updates & kernel installed? [02:04] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 (went with older for more stability) on an old Toshiba Satellite using the alternate disc because I couldn't get any of the live CDs I tried to work on it, and it gets to login window, but if I actually log in, it just plays the sound and shows the wallpaper and freezes === la_plonkista is now known as derp [02:04] yep [02:04] !ask Operaattori [02:04] any ideas what I should do next?

[02:06] Doran: Mint is off-topic here [02:06] ok [02:06] well, it's Ubuntu right now anyway [02:06] and I have to get that to work [02:06] I have to hand this laptop off to its owner and have it work for them [02:06] Hmh, is anyone here using their Ubuntu Linux system to function as a wake up alarm?

[02:08] i dont like ubuntu cuz it sucks [02:08] why does ubuntu suck? [02:08] opposite of luck -- it made my internet connection for my laptop not work, it still didn't work for the xbox, AND now the xbox wont recognize that it is plugged into a network anymore [02:09] ntr0py, practically speaking any new card (that is compatible with the linux drivers & ubuntu) is capable of 1080p ... [02:09] anything from a $40 card to a $400 card [02:09] guys do you see anything not being right here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/633339/ [02:09] its like really bad [02:09] full hd isn't very difficult... its the 3d for new games that is demanding [02:09] how about making a distro that doesn't suck? [02:09] thank you [02:10] irc.2600.net /join #lulzsec [02:10] Guest21598: im just thinking about abandoning nvidia alltogether and go for an ati card (in natty compiz lags and there is no hardware acceleration for video decoding) [02:10] real linux people dont use ubuntu [02:10] THEY REALLY DONT [02:10] NTU, stop your trolling. [02:10] Pehnep, I would suggest not pursuing that method... its too unreliable for an alarm clock... 1) worrying about computer waking up properly 2) relying on internet connection working 3) relying on radio stream not only working, but re-starting properly [02:10] NTU you're a fucker [02:10] no you're a fucker [02:10] Ubuntu rockz [02:10] ntr0py, there are problems with both, its no guarantee by switching to avoid problems.. kind of a case by case :/ [02:10] Qin, would you know what might be the problem? Or what could be a good alternative? I'm using Totem Browser Plugin 2.32.0 to listen to an browser-based radio stream. [02:10] Guys please check this it is very short: http://paste.ubuntu.com/633339/ [02:11] does everything seem right? [02:11] lol hey KindOne [02:11] Guest21598: any idea how i could find out where the problem is? [02:11] cyperbg: what problem are you having? [02:11] Guest21598: What would you suggest instead?

[02:12] Qin, "12000" being the time in seconds? [02:13] KM0201 can I ask you to read my thread in the Ubuntu forums which details my exact problem - it's not very long. Please [02:13] Pehnep, 1) not relying on internet radio (use mp3's or cd's) 2) if you find sleep/resume to be reliable then okay, otherwise run your pc 24/7, or buy an alarm clock with radio :( [02:13] cyperbg: yeah, sure.. not sure i'll have an answer, but i'll take a look. [02:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10985073#post10985073 [02:13] Pehnep: Yes, you can use more sophisticated script to just give it a time, or use "at" [02:13] KM0201 it is a very weird problem, you might find it interesting [02:13] Hmh, let me try this whole sleep thing for a second, thanks so far. [02:14] me [02:14] qin, or crontab for a repeatable alarm [02:14] KM0201 basically I install the Ati video drivers and my wifi connection gets corrupted [02:14] cyperbg: so am i understanding correctly... your wireless device works fine, then you install the ATI driver, and it stops working? [02:15] KM0201 exactly [02:15] cyperbg: yeah, that is a weird one.... [02:15] did at least 5 reinstalls already - everytime the same problem [02:15] Guest21598: Yeah, I could make use of it right now... How to make linux serve coffee? [02:16] I'm using 10.04 netbook remix on my, um, netbook. I'd like to upgrade to a non-netbook-remix. How can I do this and keep my files? [02:16] cyperbg: that is very weird..

[02:16] also bus info: firewire@1 [02:16] ntr0py, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [02:16] try installing the drivers from nvidia.. is my first suggestion [02:17] cyperbg: well, i'd say the firmware=n/a could be a problem. [02:17] stercor: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? [02:17] qin: yes. [02:17] KM0201 can you guide me on how to install the firmware for my wifi device? [02:17] cyperbg: honestly, i'm not aware of firmware out there for atheros devices... [02:17] cyperbg, try running your lshw with sudo for more info [02:17] and try lspci [02:17] qin: I'll try that. [02:18] qin brb... [02:18] stercor: You will need to choose session at gdm login. [02:19] cyperbg: i have a ton of atheros devices, and have never needed a firmware upgrade to make them work... actually, they all "just work".. sd [02:19] cyperbg: wait a second.. you have ubuntu 32bit... you're installing the ATI 64bit driver [02:20] KM0201 mine also just works but not when I install the ati driversa [02:20] cyperbg: you're using ubuntu 32bit, why are you installing the 64bit driver? [02:20] you don't need a firmware upgrade, but you may need the windows driver and ndiswrapper or something [02:20] Guest21598: atheros doesn't require ndiswrapper either [02:20] KM0201 isn't that the 32bit version? http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run [02:21] cyperbg, that looks like a x86 & x86_64 version .. so it should be okay [02:21] cyperbg: x86_64 looks like 64bit to me.. i dunno. [02:21] it should run if its incorrect anyway [02:21] KM0201, looks like both in one file [02:21] ya === cmaxwell|sleep is now known as cmaxwell [02:21] Guest21598 qin -- I think I might just give in and buy the WIFI dongle :( [02:21] Ati website this as the latest x86 version: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|DQ [02:22] I'm thinking of offering a prize for anyone that solves my problem [02:22] TeamColtra: Do you have any other device to test bridge? [02:23] cyperbg: dunno, that's the strangest problem i've ever read. [02:23] hey guys, can someone help me install a different browser in lxde that i am controlling over vnc? [02:23] qin my other device is a tablet and hasn't been working either [02:24] cyperbg: are you having a problemm with wireless or graphics? [02:24] acicula wireless [02:25] cyperbg: then you will not need those drivers [02:25] acicula are you suggesting I don't install video drivers? [02:26] TeamColtra: can you paste ifconfig, will test similar setup and get back to you in few hours. [02:26] cyperbg: i dont see how that would solve your wireless problems, and in general its a much better choice to stick with the ubuntu provided drivers which can be installed via the hardware driver program [02:27] acicula, I will be using this machine for bitcoin mining and I'm not sure the source drivers are suitable [02:27] qin: Well, I installed ubuntu-desktop. How can I change the GUI away from the remix; like the one on the Ubuntu desktop? [02:27] greetings. my drupal 7 site on ubuntu 11.04 is not sending email for account creation, password retrieval, etc. i think this has been a problem since it was freshly installed. not sure where / how to start a resolution. i already asked in the #drupal room but have not received a response yet. [02:27] btw are they source of proprietary? [02:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/633346/ but this is back with default setings since I can't be online with the bridge method apparently [02:28] cyperbg: if you activated hardware drivers then the proprietary ones were installed [02:28] hm I might try that then [02:29] how can i add a repository to apt-get? [02:30] cyperbg: ah i see, your forum post is a bit cryptic, you do not have a wireless problem, but you are trying to install those drivers and then it gets hosed? [02:30] cyperbg: afaik you can just grab the stream sdk and compile the test samples, if those work with the hardware driver ubuntu installs for you then it'll work with that bitcoin program [02:32] IdleOne: ping [02:32] optio: you can add repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list or create a yourrepo.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ just be sure to include proper repos, including things like debian repositories will give you a lot of problems === leeech_ is now known as leeechmob [02:33] IsleVegan: best check where your drupal installation is sending mail to and whether that gets accepted? [02:33] szal: ? [02:33] IdleOne: connection spam === roberto is now known as Guest48649 [02:34] acicula the wifi connection gets corrupted before even installing the AMD Stream 32-bit SDK [02:34] thx [02:34] thank you [02:34] acicula on my last fresh reinstalled the only thing I installed was the Ati Video drivers [02:34] and then bam - no wifi [02:35] acicula : not sure how i would check that. drupal tells me "Error message Unable to send e-mail. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists." when i request password for an existing account. [02:35] the ati video drivers the way that guide describes them/ [02:35] ? [02:35] how do you turn off firewall in ubuntu? I can't ssh into my box from the lan [02:36] IsleVegan: sounds like you need to check if you can actually send mail? [02:36] TeamColtra: Ok, will /msg when something cross my brain. [02:36] Mysterytrain: sudo ufw disable, but is off by default [02:36] I need a script to run as another user [02:36] what's the best way to go about this [02:36] Mysterytrain, only open the port you need. [02:36] acicula : most likely yes. what is the best way to do that? [02:36] I did sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start but my ssh client says connection refused [02:36] acicula on my last fresh reinstalled all I did was: sudo apt-get http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run and then sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run [02:36] midoski: give more context. One time? [02:37] what 's the difference between a live version of ubuntu and the installed version? [02:37] Mysterytrain: use « service » not « /etc/init.d » [02:37] jrib, lighttpd needs to spawn fcgi servers per virtual host [02:37] i want to spawn the fcgi servers as the user the site is for [02:37] learningc: on the live version, your changes are lost when you reboot [02:37] or hosted under, rather [02:37] learningc: one difference is that the live version does not save or change anything on the computer. [02:38] midoski: where will you be spawning them? Cron? [02:38] jrib wha:t's the difference? [02:38] but is the directory structures the same? [02:38] learningc: it is mainly used to see what ubuntu looks like, check for hardware compatibility and maybe do some hard drive partitioning / resizing [02:38] jrib, well in the lighttpd config you can execute a shell script if the fcgi server isn't found [02:38] Mysterytrain: service plays nice with upstart [02:38] jrib so it's up for discussion as to /how/ the fcgi server should spawn [02:38] ok [02:38] either way i need it to [02:38] so sudo server ssh start [02:38] service* [02:39] learningc: i don't know much about that, sorry. perhaps you can be more detailed in your inquiry to get a response from others. [02:39] midoski: well you can use su or sudo to execute things as another user, but you need to authenticate (as the user for the 'su' case and as a the user executing the command, who should have sudo access, in the sudo case) [02:39] can anyone explain to the the difference between the "service" command and simply using /etc/init.d/(prog) to control service reloads/start/stops ? [02:39] hrm. connection refused [02:39] green91: in the case of ssh, the /etc/init.d/ script does NOT go through upstart [02:40] Mysterytrain: try « ssh localhost » locally on the server [02:40] jrib, alright, is there a way to pass su (or sudo) the password without interactive mode? [02:40] i didnt see it last time i glanced [02:40] cyperbg: yeah dont do that, just use the hardware driver tool, ubuntu should probably ask you if you want the proprietary drivers [02:40] connection refused. this is ubuntu in a vm. [02:40] hi, I am trying to use Ubuntu from a 2Gb flash drive.... It seems to be working fine, I have booted up a new mahince into ubuntu, but it wont let me download anythin [02:40] Mysterytrain: you can't ssh localhost on the server? [02:40] is it becuase my flash drive is out of disc space? [02:40] no [02:40] Mysterytrain: is sshd running...? [02:40] if I verbatim copy the live cd on my harddisk and mae my harddisk bootable to that partition, will it be the same to a regular installed ubuntu apart from no change saved due to a config file? [02:40] IsleVegan: whatever drupal/php has configured as maildaemon has trouble sending it [02:41] I got ubuntu running in vmware player, with bridged connection. I then fired up cygwin and tried to ssh into user@127.0.0.1 and got connection refused [02:41] IsleVegan: if you dont know how or why then thats why its not working [02:41] Mysterytrain: I didn't tell you to do that [02:41] that's what I did before I got here [02:41] Mysterytrain, cygwin in ubuntu? [02:41] Mysterytrain: what about what I asked you about? [02:41] jrib: what is upstart [02:41] !upstart | green91 [02:41] green91: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [02:42] Mysterytrain: 127.0.0.1 exists only within the is, you have to attach a nic to the bridge you made, assign that an ip and use that to ssh into [02:42] thanks [02:42] acicula I'm gonna do a fresh install now and try that [02:42] mrm [02:42] anyone can help me? Im trying to use ubunutu from a 2GB flash drive.... [02:42] ok lemme do this. I'm going to restart the virtual machine and try it fresh [02:42] I have ubuntu booted [02:43] midoski: you could give the user that will be executing the command the ability to execute it without requiring a password by using sudoers. But are you sure there isn't some standard, well-documented way to accomplish what you are asking about? [02:43] \''/ (^_^) \''/ [02:43] !who | Mysterytrain [02:43] Mysterytrain: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:43] jrib, lighttpd + django isn't mega well documented [02:43] especially in multi site setups [02:43] which is what im doing [02:44] midoski: what user does lightppd run as and what user do you want to spawn the fcgi instances? [02:44] jrib, lighttpd runs as 'www-data' and i have a 'start_fcgi.sh' script on UserA and UserB [02:45] i'm italian ;) [02:45] learningc: no, the way the live cd/dvd is packaged is veyr different from a normal disk installation, best to just follow the normal installer [02:45] currently I just joined www-data to the UserA and UserB group so it can spawn it itself, but it's not safe since now any python scripts from UserA could technically look at UserB's shit [02:45] simone: and? [02:45] how do remove things from the little envelope menu on 10.10? [02:45] im using top to see whats running, does the time+ column mean total time running, or cumulative time active [02:45] so i need www-data to run start_fcgi.sh as UserA if needed but also run start_fcgi.sh as UserB if needed [02:45] midoski: well what I suggested above about using NOPASSWD for that command in sudoers should work, but I'd suggest asking lightppd to see if they are familiar with what you are doing [02:45] so, what's the standard go-to for a text-editor for programming in Ubuntu? [02:45] Mysterytrain, if sshd is running in the vm, and you want to connect to it from the host, it's not 127.0.0.1, you have to use the ip of the vm [02:45] jrib, I'll head over to their IRC, it's pretty dead though [02:45] thank you for the help [02:46] www-data is a very protected user so NOPASSWD might get me somewhere [02:46] rewt: ok, I've just rebooted them vm. [02:46] midoski: just give NOPASSWD to that user for that specific command [02:46] jrib, i'll try to see how to do that [02:46] jrib, I'm sure the answer is in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers [02:47] midoski: « man sudoers » certainly [02:47] jrib, of course [02:47] acicula: Drupal 6 on previous versions of Ubuntu worked fine to send mail to new users before. I don't think I did any configuration. However, since Drupal 7 has been installed on Ubuntu 11.04 it does not send email and I don't know what to do. [02:48] IsleVegan: you definitely need to install some sort of MTA to be able to send mail [02:48] anyone sick of 11.04 yet? [02:48] linux_is_my_hero: why would someone be sick of it? [02:49] Jamesboo_ what's the problem exactly? [02:49] 10.10 is faster, more stable, and has a better gui. [02:49] there can be reasons, but this is not the place to discuss them [02:49] jrib : i did the apt-get install of all the lamp stuff, like i did before. [02:49] linux_is_my_hero: so use 10.10 [02:49] i do :-) [02:49] linux_is_my_hero: stock maybe and perhaps only in your case [02:49] cyperbg....im trying to use ubuntu....booting my machine from a flash drive [02:49] linux_is_my_hero: it sounds like your cmplaint w/ 11.04 is unity. [02:49] I only have a 2Gb flash drive [02:49] IsleVegan: if this is a server you must have had some smtp configuration set, its not something that automagically works. best place to start is in your log files,syslog,mail etc if it was working before [02:49] IsleVegan: there's no MTA there... [02:50] what in 11.04 would make it slower? [02:50] it boots....but to i need to install the desktop to be able to download diles? [02:50] linux_is_my_hero: use xubuntu or lubuntu if you don't like unity. [02:50] Jamesboo_ that's what I do at the moment, but during installation it tellms me it needs 4.4GB of space [02:50] maybe you don't have anough space [02:50] i dont think i do.... [02:50] do you mine bitcoins? [02:50] lubuntu...what's that? [02:50] acicula : ok, this is a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04 on a linode.com virtual server [02:51] jrib : ok, i'll have to see what mta means [02:51] linux_is_my_hero: ubuntu w/ lxde [02:51] !lubuntu [02:51] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [02:51] err! did they remove the "mget" command in sftp???? [02:51] IsleVegan: try exim for example [02:51] IsleVegan: then you need to install an mail daemon and configure it to send out emails [02:51] Jamesboo_ not at the moment, but I will when I manage to solve my problem [02:51] linux_is_my_hero: it'll have official canonical support for 11.10.. up to now, been a community version === Pilif12p|DQ is now known as Pilif12p [02:51] IsleVegan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Exim4 [02:51] cyperbg: whats your problem.,,, what size flash drive are you using?

It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [03:00] maverikh, best to not use webmin on ubuntu based systems. Its not supported on ubuntu. and you can edit the samba configs directrly as you need for the most part.

[03:02] i think i figured it out.... i had to set the main folder to 777... forgot that step === hermit is now known as Guest17328 [03:02] I have some avi files that I'm trying to play, and I'm just getting a black screen (video). There are some codecs availalbe on the disc that has these avi's, called VerintVideoSolutions Codecs. I tried installing these codecs on a VM and the avi's won't even play on Windows 7. Anyone got any ideas for me? [03:03] acicula: when I apt-get remove libdrm-intel1 it wants to dump the entire system ("3,347 MB of disk space will be freed...") what's the trick to tell it to ignore dependencies? [03:03] how do i install angry birds on ubuntu 10.10? [03:04] linux_is_my_hero: use chrome, then install inside chrome [03:04] cyperbg, http://www.quora.com/Bitcoin/Is-the-cryptocurrency-Bitcoin-a-good-idea [03:04] johnnynyquist: eh i think you can use a --ignore-deps flag or someting. man apt-get describes the options [03:04] IsleVegan, drupal issues would be out of scope for this channel... check back to the drupal chan, or go googling I would suggest [03:04] Guest21598: Please keep offtopic chatter out of this channel, thanks. [03:05] johnnynyquist: though id probably just wipre and reinstall at this point [03:05] after that where does it put it? [03:05] aeon-ltd: where does it put it after you install it inside chrome? [03:06] gotta find that ignore feature === kassius is now known as mercvrivs [03:07] acicula: I was afraid you'd say that [03:08] linux_is_my_hero: Are you familiar with the hidden folders in your home directory? [03:08] edbian: no not that, i mean how do i launch angry bird once its installed [03:08] linux_is_my_hero: I have no idea. I don't even know how you installed it inside chrome [03:08] johnnynyquist: upgrading by bumping versions in sources.list is a guaranteed way of creating heaps of problems [03:09] edbian: neither do i, lol [03:09] mmm true blood [03:10] When I am booting up, it says "Starting K Display Manager", but I uninstalled kdm. Where can I find the source of this error? [03:10] MK``: probably the startup script that does it [03:11] it should have removed that if you removed kdm though [03:11] Hi, I installed Ubuntu via WUPI to sit alongside Windows. Now, how do I remove Windows & make Ubuntu permanent OS? I have 300GB disk and Ubuntu only see a max of 30GB [03:11] Should i reinstall kdm, and purge it? [03:12] fusss2: wubi depends on windows... [03:12] doubt that will work MK`` [03:12] you' have to reinstall [03:12] ok, where can I find the script? [03:12] fusss2: wubi actually creates a file on your NTFS partition. If you delete windows you will also delete your wubi install. ARe you faily attached to this install? [03:12] MK``: That'd be something to try, yes. [03:12] KM0201: awwww :-| I have already grown into my setup [03:12] linux_is_my_hero, you use gnome ?. if so do you have a wine folder under Applications ?.. at least that is what i found out online.. [03:12] MK``: eh /etc/init probably [03:12] fusss2: you need to copy your files in your ubuntu folder [03:12] fusss2: wubi is a mess anyway, you're lucky you haven't bricked ubuntu and windows [03:13] one of those enormous files is your ubuntu virtual disk [03:13] edbian: I don't mind reinstalling if: 1) I can somehow get back all my installed apps, via backup/restore. 2) migration doesn't take more than a day [03:13] fusss2: There are ways to migrate wubi to a real install. I suggest simply saving your personal files (home folder) and installing ubuntu a-new [03:13] fusss2: migration and re-installing are the 2 alternative. They are not the same. [03:14] fusss2: re-installing (by definition) means not having your apps. But how hard is it to download them from the repos again? [03:14] fusss2: The hard part is your personal files. Those cannot be re-created. (your home folder) [03:15] edbian: yeah, I know. I have those in external HD + dropbox anyway [03:15] fusss2: Then I would just re-install. Either way it will take less than a day. Unless you count the time it takes to learn how to do a wubi install [03:16] when I edit the sudoers file via visudo [03:16] when do the changse take effect? [03:16] Should I delete kdm.conf? [03:16] edbian: installation is alright. [03:16] cheers all! [03:16] MK``: No, it'll do that when you purge it [03:16] ok [03:17] midoski: once you save it (and it actually saves) [03:17] Flannel, alright === mRy is now known as Guest33109 [03:17] Flannel, well I wrote a sudoers rule, and it didn't stick [03:17] I guess I'm doing something dumb === leeech_ is now known as leeechmob [03:18] midoski: Did it successfully save? visudo checks the syntax and won't save (although I always thought it gave you an error) [03:18] Flannel, yes [03:18] wont save if there's a syntax error [03:18] Flannel, "/etc/sudoers.tmp" 28L, 643C written [03:18] midoski: right, that's your editor saving it to a temp file, then you close the editor, visudo realizes you're done, and does its magic (copies it back, etc) [03:18] alright [03:18] lemme give it a try [03:18] ok, installed and purged and that config file is gone. I wonder if that was the source of some issues I was having [03:19] Flannel, it's still not working apparently [03:19] Flannel, http://linuxlol.pastebay.com/127272 I have this little config [03:19] that should let www-data run that command as user 'max' [03:19] but it asks for a password [03:19] Is there any free tutorials for LPIC-3 ? [03:19] i'm doing su -c the_command max [03:20] midoski: if you visudo again, do you see your changes? [03:20] Flannel, yes [03:20] I also vim /etc/sudoers and the changes are there [03:20] midoski: Alright, so it's a config issue, not a sudoers editing issue. [03:20] Flannel, all signs point to yes [03:20] Flannel, I linked you my current additions to the sudoers file [03:21] Hey, how do i use rmdir to remove a directory that has children? [03:22] darkenergy, rm -R ./thedirectory [03:22] We have 50GB added to a mount point in Logical Volume. How do i verify the 50GB is available on the mount point before extending? [03:22] midoski, oh so it doesn't work at all with rmdir huh? [03:22] midoski: first off, you want to use sudo, not su. [03:22] Flannel, baaah! [03:22] * midoski kicks over a table [03:23] midoski: did that fix it? ;) [03:23] Flannel, 1 sec, trying [03:23] /join #math [03:23] I'm not sure it will, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. [03:23] dvanderwerf: You're already in #math, by the way. [03:24] hi all - is it possible to 'show technical items' by default in ubuntu software centre? [03:24] Flannel, :O might have worked [03:24] Flannel, it certainly ran, that's for sure [03:25] Hi, i am running Ubuntu on a flash drive and was wondering why when I log in with the default account it shows my OS Drive and I can access it. But when I log in with another admin account I can not see it. [03:25] anyone here interested in automated theorem proving, automated theorem verification, proof assistants and formal systems? [03:25] dvanderwerf: You might try #math ;) [03:26] they probably are not either, seems like not too many people are [03:26] dvanderwerf: can you formulate that as a question? [03:26] dvanderwerf: You haven't asked in there yet. I'd say that'd be the most likely place on freenode. [03:28] How do I determine which screen manager I'm using? [03:28] stercor, you can usually see which one you are "picking" on the login screen [03:28] from a drop-down list [03:29] gnome, gnome safe, kde, etc [03:29] I am trying to delete the 5th line in a directory full of html files. I am trying sed '5d' *.html but it's not quite working out [03:30] I just upgraded my netbook to ubuntu-desktop. I'd like to have the same screen manager on the netbook as I have on my desktop. [03:30] any ideas? [03:30] Ok, the only thing suspicious left in my boot process is "Starting automatic crash report generation [fail]" [03:30] well it would take a while - I'm interested in math but I don't like proofs in natural language - I'd like to learn Mizar or something like it. I have problems learning math informally. One question I have: is it possible, and if so, how easy, and how long would it take to write proofs about probability in a formal language and then use a proof verifier on it. Take for example Sterling's formula. [03:30] stercor, is gnome installed? (I assume it is...) if gnome is installed, you should be able to pick it before you login... if you auto-login, you may need to disable that first [03:31] davric: sed operates on tex files itself [03:31] Guest21598: That sounds reasonable. [03:31] davric, google for examples... that sounds like a simple task that should have lots of examples [03:31] acicula, what can I do to accomplish my goal? [03:31] it doesnt seem like it [03:32] Guest21598: The login screen has all the users in /etc/passwd. Does this mean that there's no auto-login? [03:32] oh sorry wrong channel [03:32] ...well not _all_ of them.

[03:33] ah [03:33] MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN TURned INTO A MACINTOSH I HATE IT GIVE ME BACK MY GNOME [03:33] kayve, lol ;) [03:33] install it... [03:33] (gnome that is) [03:33] I CAN'T FIND A DAMNED TERMINAL [03:34] or caps lock? [03:34] Gnome is --- I believe --- installed. [03:34] kayve, hmm.. I don't have 11.04 installed atm, but I recall it being on the menu.. or if you type "term" into the search box it shows it [03:34] APT-GET install gnome2 ? [03:34] I don't do KDE... [03:34] apt-get .. lowercase [03:34] Kayve: in ubuntu? [03:34] kayve: log out, then in the login screen choose session type 'Ubuntu Classic' [03:35] kayve, how did you turn it into a mac? [03:35] Guest21598: It can't find gnome2. Is it gnome2-dev? [03:35] i think he means unity ;) [03:35] stercor, nope, not -dev [03:35] sec [03:35] Guest21598, lmao, i still haven't touched unity [03:35] Don't plan to either [03:36] in unity you can just hit the windows key and type terminal [03:36] hrm, teamviewer is much more faster and responsive on ubuntu than windows [03:36] go figure [03:36] now my phone technicaly has ubuntu :0 [03:36] if you don't have a windows key hit the ubuntu logo in the upper left hand side [03:36] stercor, try just apt-get install gnome [03:36] windows is not bad in and of itself but it is the #1 target for crapware [03:37] karta, good to know team viewer is available for linux? [03:37] Guest21598: k [03:37] stercor, what version of netbuntu did you start with? [03:39] Guest21598: netbook-remix 10.04 [03:39] Guest21598, i diddnt know either, i was jsut thinking it would be great to get into ubuntu as well as my win 7 laptop, works better for linux actualy [03:39] and looks nicee with unity [03:40] Karta, did you find the terminal screen? [03:40] looks nice with unity is like saying "looks great with your tumor" :( [03:41] anyone know a fix for update manager failing to update or trying to install package and getting Could not perform immediate configuration on 'multiarch-support' [03:41] its not a tumor :arnold voice: [03:41] got a network/samba question: [03:41] My server is setup with Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, has all the drives setup to do sharing with Samba, it is accessible on my windows machines by typing in the network address and using the user/pass to get in, however it will only on occasion show up in the "Network" for windows.. However, when i go into a Kubuntu 11.04(or any linux VM) VM on my desktop (Win 7 x64), I am able to go to: network -> Samba Shares -> Workgroup -> Server -> Fold [03:41] stercor, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9217374 [03:41] should be what you need from the looks of it [03:42] TrevInc, unity isn't for everyone... and its not hard to change to gnome or kde, etc ... no point in bashing on it.. its still very useful for people that are new to linux or just need a simple interface [03:43] WFeather, I find network browsing unreliable in 10.04 with a mixed linux/windows network as well... [03:43] 10.10 here [03:44] http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx [03:44] I had a HD mounting problem and had to boot from an ISO disc - can I fix it from here? [03:44] Guest21598: thank you for your opinion. However, forcing left side docking is a bit silly especially considering the OS X launcher docks on the bottom and is otherwise identical in functioning [03:44] so wouldn't that be a turnoff? [03:45] incase anyone wanted it and diddnt have it, its kinda lame since it is useless, but there has been times when i left things on desktop and forgot to copy over for work etc [03:45] so it can be a lifesaver [03:45] network browsing is basucally totally non funvtional for me. i allways enter the full path to the shares and they do work [03:45] dr_Willis: is that from a windows machine ? [03:46] WFeather: i find it flakey from both os . win and lin. [03:46] hmm, k, so its a known issue then... [03:47] win7 seems to made it worse. [03:47] till looks like mac [03:47] any way to have XBMC on a windows machine look there directly all the time ? [03:47] or should joining a XBMC channel be a better choice ? [03:47] how do I get rid of this macintosh nonsense? [03:47] taraduffy: in the live CD, open a terminal and do 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' [03:47] I installed gnome [03:47] enter full host/sharename and they DO work however [03:48] dr_Willis: yes it does, my issue is accessing it w/ XBMC [03:48] xbmc can access the shares for me fine [03:48] hmm, what do you add as a source ? [03:48] i use static ips. that may help [03:49] server is a static IP [03:49] hey guys if I only have 3gb of ram is it worth getting ubuntu 64bit? or should I just go with x86 [03:49] i9c: meh. Unless you're planning on upgrading to > 4gb, I'd go with 32-bit [03:49] I hate mac window behavior with a passion [03:49] i got xbmc in the front room. is accesses my nas. and ither servers ok. [03:49] well it's for a virtual machine [03:50] dr_Willis: what do you add for the source ? [03:50] yeats: OK.

[03:50] taraduffy: are you running 11.04 live with Unity? [03:50] no, just inside virtualbox to mess around with [03:50] mik-moc: on logon screen, tell it to do classic [03:50] WFeather: it sees the machine. or i enter the ip. nothing special i recall.

[04:19] CooKieMonster: web data extractor? [04:19] what about the 11.04 ?? are u already install it?? [04:19] What is did with win7 was download the ubuntu ISO [04:20] then from the ubutu site http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download downloaded the universal USB installer. [04:20] web data extractor is a type of software that can extract data from a webpage [04:20] taraduffy: okay - thanks - now do 'gksu gedit /mnt/etc/fstab' and add the # before the first line [04:20] It is very easy from there. [04:21] yeats: and save?

[04:25] well i might just try to use unetbootin [04:25] it's pretty easy to use [04:25] taraduffy: okay... I think that's all the time you should spend on it. Since you told me you have your data backed up, go ahead and reinstall [04:25] just point it to the iso you downloaded. [04:25] Nobgul-bnc: How do I delete a file -- it worked but I had to put the file in it's own folder and now there is an extra copy of the file in the /opt folder and I am not able to delete it [04:25] taraduffy: I think that would be easier than beating your head against a wall. You can chalk it up to experience ;-) [04:26] yeats: OK - thanks so much for your time too. I agree with your philosophy :-) [04:26] taraduffy: happy to help! [04:26] * yeats goes to bed now [04:27] getdarker_, "sudo rm filename" [04:27] thanks john_ appreciate that [04:28] hi people... kind of newbie here.. === derp is now known as derp|gone [04:28] help please! when booting ubuntu 11.04 it doesnot show anything just a black image until it appears ubuntu login,...is there any solution [04:28] hi zuzto me too ! [04:28] zuzto, welcome. [04:28] how the heck does apt-get become so screwed nothing can be updated/installed/removed [04:28] thanks.. and excuse my poor english, im from mexico [04:29] im using xchat, someone else?? [04:29] lnb, how old is the os version? out of date repos? === ThinkPad is now known as crazyworm [04:29] hendaus_, that is normal when grub has quiet set. [04:30] whats the difference between sudo rm -i "filename" and sudo rm "filename" ? Already being root ? [04:30] a noob question, if a change of server, my connection with the channels in the other server closed?? [04:31] getdarker_, rm -i prompts before deleting. [04:32] hendaus_, http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/ubuntu-11-04-blank-screen-on-boot-solved/ [04:32] Wiesshund: so it stills the same but neither shows the grub menu when it shows memory test and ubuntu recovery mode and ect.. [04:33] hendaus_, hmm mine showed the menu etc fine once i told it to actualy wait at it [04:34] zuzto, i'm not sure. you can always just try it. :) [04:35] thanks john_ so theres not much difference really, a prompt just the tells the command what to act on as google tells me :) [04:36] hendaus_, did you try holding down shift on reboot? [04:36] it worked by the way john_ quite satisfying to see it dissapear :) [04:36] getdarker_, good. unwanted files are evil. [04:37] john: ok... thanks [04:38] john__: yes thanx, but where to edit or replace quiet and splash to nomodeset [04:38] hendaus_, nomodeset isn't showing up on the grub menu at all? [04:40] it shows ubuntu 11.04 and recovery mode and memorty test [04:40] which one [04:41] hendaus_, try highlighting ubuntu 11.04 and pressing "E" === ghsh is now known as fuga [04:41] john__: ok, but is it necessary the live cd inserted or not?\ [04:42] hendaus_, wait, you're running from livecd? or is this installed to hard drive? [04:43] john__: no from hd [04:43] hendaus_, okay, good. no live cd necessary. just select the normal boot option, then... [04:44] press e, then add nomodeset to the boot options [04:44] hendaus_, You'll probably see "quiet splash" [04:44] hendaus_, just go behind splash and add nomodeset like: [04:45] hendaus_, "quiet splash nomodeset" then press ctrl-X [04:46] john__: ok so dont delete quiet and splash just add nomodeset beside it? [04:46] hendaus_, yep. [04:47] john__: ok i try thanx [04:47] hendaus_, but to make this permanent you'll need to edit grub after you boot. almost forgot... [04:47] does anyone know how to make openoffice fonts looks normal in lucid. it is too small [04:47] edit /etc/default/grub [04:48] then add the nomodeset options the same way you did at the boot menu [04:48] Hello all. Need serious help. Any takers? [04:48] should be a line that says grub_cmdline_linux_default="options..." [04:48] Z_Guru, what's the prob? [04:49] mrdeb: you mean in open office or those fonts across the whole system? [04:49] em: openoffice fonts are smaller only in lucid compared ot system fonts and nothing affects it. in 1010 and ofrward its fixed [04:49] wheres is the setting [04:51] Oh look, Empathy again failed to save my password. [04:51] What a buggy piece. [04:51] hi any body know how to print LPCWSTR datatype value to stdout [04:51] has anyone heard of jupiter [04:52] mrdeb, elementaryOS [04:52] mrdeb, yes. [04:52] Thanks, john. Well I first installed Ubuntu Studio on a virtual machine in Windows XP. Then discovered Wubi and installed Ubuntu standard that way... [04:52] hola [04:53] !ask | Z_Guru [04:53] Z_Guru: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:53] Anybody know about proprietary drivers for the thinkpad t520 nvidia graphics? [04:53] how do you turn off the plymouth boot logo [04:53] !nvidia > puff [04:53] puff, please see my private message [04:53] puff do the default nvidia drivers not work for you? [04:54] magn3ts: I've got a thinkpad t520 running ubuntu 10.4 LTS. Resume from suspend does not seem to work. I'm not sure if it's really not resuming or just the screen staying dark or something. [04:54] Oooh. [04:54] hi any body know how to print LPCWSTR datatype value to stdout [04:54] shivaprakash, wrong channel, almost surely. [04:54] Fell in love with Ubuntu, and was migrating all I could from XP to Ubuntu, like Thunderbird etc., went back to XP to clean up... [04:54] magn3ts: So, the thought occurs that maybe with the proprietary drivers it might work better.... [04:54] shivaprakash, guaranteedly wrong channel. [04:55] puff, oh, I assumed you were already running the nvidia drivers. [04:55] puff, just let Hardware Drivers (jockey-gtk) install nvidia drivers from the repo [04:55] puff, if you're feeling cutting edge there is a PPA for more cutting edge nvidia blobs for X.org [04:55] And accidentally ADD/REMOVED my Ubuntu virtual drive instead of the virtual machine. Is there a way to recover my virtual drive etc. after windows accidental removal? [04:56] Z_Guru, probably want to be in #virtualbox. [04:56] Z_Guru, I'm still confused... [04:56] you removed the virtual drive taht ubuntu was installed on... what do you mean "Windows accidental removal"??? [04:56] Iserver ifg.ircnode.com [04:56] sorry [04:56] puff, there are also driversyou can use from nvidia check there site see if your card is listed [04:57] Z_Guru, i haven't used wubi, but it should have run ubuntu from a single file on the windows partition... [04:57] magn3ts: Okay, Ill try System/Administration/Hardware Drivers first. [04:57] I'd recommend the PPA over straight from nvidia. The nvidia installer never is as seamless and the PPA I mentioned is current with nvidia's official site releases. [04:57] so if the wubi app was removed and the ubuntu disk was removed with it... [04:57] puff, I'd start there, even if you do that and add the PPA later for newer builds, it will just apt-get update/upgrade for you! cheers, good luck. [04:57] magn3ts: Hm, it says "no proprietary drivers are in use wtih this system' [04:57] I meant to delete my virtualbox Ubuntu but instead, like an idiot, removed my Wubi virtual drive install. [04:57] puff, hum. you can try installing nvidia-current from repos. [04:57] then I'm not sure how you'd recover it unless it ended up in the $recycler directory. [04:57] Hey. Wondering if y'all could help me. [04:57] Z_Guru, wow, that's quite a mixup. [04:58] I'm trying to install macbuntu on my Computer. [04:58] And it's not working. [04:58] And it's giving me an error message. [04:58] Z_Guru, I don't know the process of wubi-removal so I can't tell you how likely it is taht that data's still there. [04:58] Do I have permission to paste it here? [04:58] Z_Guru, if you're not having data loss from it... you're better off starting from scratch and doing a true partition this time. [04:58] !paste > Lukosanthropos [04:58] Lukosanthropos, please see my private message [04:58] !paste Luxe [04:58] Z_Guru, maybe a system restore? though I'm not sure a system restore will put back application files. [04:58] Lukosanthropos, sorry. [04:58] ;o [04:58] Luxe, no paste in here use pastebin [04:58] Ohkay. [04:58] !paste | Luxe [04:59] Luxe: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:59] Http://www.pastie.org/2127282 [04:59] ^that's what I'm getting when I follow the directions. [04:59] Z_Guru, agree with magn3ts. fresh install would be best. [04:59] I've done it before but it doesn't like... Work. [04:59] Z_Guru, your chances of recovering a fully working WUBI/Ubuntu install is next to nothing [04:59] Z_Guru, your best hope would be if you need to recover just one file or something. [05:00] Does anyone know why that's happening? [05:00] does anyone run without a swap file [05:00] Luxe, seems they don't know you [05:00] I'm installing Ubuntu on the computer right next to me and it just crashed on install. [05:00] hi. how i check the integrity of ubuntu 11.04 cd? there is no menu when i boot the disk [05:00] Know of any work arounds? [05:00] What do you mean OerHeks? ;o [05:01] !swap > mrdeb [05:01] mrdeb, please see my private message [05:01] hey - is there a quick way to copy a file's absolute location to the clipboard? [05:01] Thanx all. Yeah, had a few drinks and got Ubuntu happy and hit the button to fast. I am trying to do a third party restore, which I get all but the root.disk an swap.disk file so far, so I am freaking. [05:01] WilliamC, not a lot of info to go on there. [05:01] Luxe error is > cannot verify downloads.sourceforge.net's certificate [05:01] Was going to save system restore as a last resort. [05:01] Luxe, remove the HTTPS in the wget line and replace with HTTP. [05:02] Ohkay :D [05:02] Luxe, or is this a script you're running? === totem is now known as BigMomma [05:02] magn3ts, I'm using the latest beta and it said "installer package error" and then after that it said "Installer has crashed" [05:02] magn3ts: Okay, installed, do I need to reboot or something to enable it? [05:02] can someone give me a general idea of what checksum means? [05:02] puff, yeah, um, you may need to add something to xorg conf to get it to utilize it... honestly, I'm not sure how it's changed... the last few versions of ubuntu have done all the work for me. [05:02] Z_Guru, again, i don't know wubi, but it appears that ubuntu should have been installed on the root.disk file, so... [05:02] pat201, think of it as a unique signature for a file. [05:03] WilliamC, wait, beta, beta of what? [05:03] WilliamC, beta of Oneiric? [05:03] Ubuntu [05:03] you might try reinstalling wubi, then ubuntu, then replacing the root.disk file with the recovered one. [05:03] not sure how well it would work. [05:03] WilliamC, there's no beta out for anything right now. [05:03] 11.04 is stable... 11.10 is in alpha.... [05:03] Uhm. [05:03] magn3ts: Okay, ran System/Admin/Hardware Drivers again, it says the nvidia drivers are in use etc. [05:03] magn3ts: So I'm going ot just reboot on general principles and see how it works., [05:03] puff, oh you might be good to go. restarting X/gdm would be a base minimum. [05:04] magn3ts, I downloaded the wrong version it seems [05:04] puff, and puff only, sudo service /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:04] john, I am unsure of that due to windows deleating the folder that the root.disk was in. [05:04] WilliamC, lol, are you looking for the most recent stable version? [05:04] WilliamC, ubuntu.com look for the big download button :) [05:05] The root.disk being 30GB bypassed the trash bin. [05:05] does anyone know of a ccleaner type program to run on ubuntu? [05:05] hi, i want to convert some html documents to pdf based on a index file. The structure should be preserved. Is there any package in ubuntu? [05:05] magn3ts, I was looking for the latest beta but it seems there is none so just as well [05:06] Z_Guru, well, if you can't find it in the c:\recycler folder, then that may be all she wrote. [05:07] pat201: look at fslint [05:07] how do i check live cd for errors 11.04? there is no option to do this as in old versions of ubuntu [05:07] Z_Guru, if it was vista or 7, I'd say check previous versions (volume shadow copy), but xp [05:07] is no help for that. [05:07] magn3ts: Well, it all seems to be working fine, but suspend still doesn't work. Drat. [05:08] puff, yeah, suspend and hibernate are always a nightmare and I'm the last person you want helping you with that. [05:08] what happened to this menu on the 11.04 live cd? http://www.dailycupoftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/ubuntu02.png === jadedsecurity_ is now known as jadedsecurity [05:09] hey, does 11.04 play nice with a SSD? [05:09] WilliamC, like I said, there are nightlies and alphas for 11.10 (to be released in... Oct?)... but they're completely unusable in a VM... let alone on a desktop [05:09] or maybe there is a key combo to access it? [05:09] Yeah, I don't really trust alphas, or betas. [05:09] It always seems to pick the worst time to crash during install [05:11] how can i check if my OS is 64 or 32 bit? [05:12] Who likes? http://i.imgur.com/50PLJ.png [05:12] hi where is grub.cfg [05:12] pat201, what does uname -m print? [05:13] How do I make Ubuntu show only bits around the system, kilobit, megabit, and so on? No bytes anymore. [05:13] john, Figured I would ask here in case someone might had been as careless as me and ficked it. But I am still running a 3rd part disk restore, hopefully I will find root.disk if not I will try the XP system restore and hope and pray. I did extensive migration, so I would hate to loose the stuff and restart due to microsoft's oversight and my stupidity. [05:14] im not sure i understand [05:14] is it okay to just ask a question here? there's no one in the beginners channel who seems to be responding.. [05:15] !grub > mrdeb [05:15] mrdeb, please see my private message [05:15] sphika: No, here you may only write statements. Never ever may you ask a question. [05:15] Why did Ubuntu choose brown and orange for its colors? [05:15] ok [05:16] sphika: (just kidding) [05:16] oh. well I'll just paste my question from the other channel: I recently had an issue with a video streaming software called veetle, so I decided to upgrade to the latest version to see if that would fix my problem. I ran "sudo sh" to install the program. Since then I have experienced a variety of issues, including, my ICEauthority can't be updated, the sound control can no longer communicate with the sound device, and I don't have the permission [05:16] s to save files in gimp. Can anyone help me? [05:16] Anyone here know how to edit the new default bootloader used with LinuxLiveUSB LiLi? I don't know why they changed from syslinux, was the simplest one... Now it's some sort of BartPE loader [05:16] WilliamC: Because they are great colours. [05:17] oxyzen, I hate them, same reason I hate Thanksgiving and Halloween decorations. [05:17] Hey, anyone know if 11.04 plays nice with a ssd? I read use ext4, but thats about it. [05:17] Reno__, it really should, as should all up-to-date distros. [05:17] WilliamC: You could move. I've never celebrated Thanksgiving nor Halloween. [05:18] oxyzen, I like the food. [05:19] john, I will let you know if I succeed or not to help others. [05:19] magn3ts, how many chatrooms are you in? [05:19] WilliamC: But isn't the food brown and orange-ish? [05:19] no [05:19] !ot | oxyzen WilliamC === adrian is now known as Guest91517 [05:19] oxyzen WilliamC: #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! [05:19] WilliamC, lots. [05:19] hi [05:20] Bitcoin, Android and linux keep me occupied. [05:20] so no one then? [05:20] anyone is able to use video chat on xubuntu with msn accout [05:20] sphika, yikes. [05:20] sphika, what random script did you run exactly? [05:20] sphika, and do you have any idea if it was meant to be used with the version of ubuntu you're in? [05:22] wie for video chat does it ork? [05:22] Guest91517: never tried. what DOES work is Skype,, and Google Talk [05:22] at least those are the two I have used [05:22] magnets, I installed a .run file I believe. it was the installer directly from the program's website. [05:22] what o you ue to get skype [05:22] use [05:22] So sh stands for a script in Linux? [05:23] i ran sudo sh to install and just started pressing enter. i realized after doing this that there was a warning i agreed to that said they don't recommend installing as root [05:24] sphika, I can't help without the script, god only knows what it could have done (literally anything) [05:24] Guest91517: sudo apt-get install skype [05:24] sphika, also, if you type 'magn' and press TAB, it will autocomplete my name and notify me when you reply :) [05:25] magn3ts, think Ubuntu is easy enough to use on a computer I'm going to sell? [05:25] I think it's userfriendly, but I've seen people get confused by Windows. [05:26] magn3ts, the site is http://www.veetle.com/index.php/download, and the file is veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh [05:27] Well, Windows is certainly not a model for usability [05:27] but along those lines, I've seen people get violently upset with television remotes [05:27] can someone point out the advantage of ubuntu over other distros [05:28] package repositories [05:28] debian based [05:28] good community [05:28] sphika, ugh, its a compressed binary, I don't know what that script does to be honest. [05:28] small download size compared to other full distros [05:28] TeamColtra: Hey! You fixed? [05:28] +1 for everything noisewaterphd said. [05:28] sudo apt-get install skype I tried but nothing [05:29] "sh" is what type of file, script? Anyone? [05:29] Guest91517: might need the PPA or something first, just go to skype.com [05:29] magn3ts, like I said, I know that it broke it because it basically said not to install as root because it could break stuff, but I had already done it by that point. [05:29] Z_Guru: shell script [05:29] but yeah, I have no idea what it does either haha. [05:29] sphika, it's the very reason I don't install software from scripts like that. [05:29] I'l do that [05:29] ll [05:30] qin, no :( [05:30] sphika, well some things DO need to run as root. Installing software NEEDS to run as root... so that wasn't the mistake. [05:30] sphika, the mistake was with the script and whatever it did. [05:30] let me try to reproduce the output [05:30] Thanks, noisewaterphd. [05:30] Z_Guru: try: head -n 3 your_file.sh (scripts are text files), also: file your_file.sh to see type [05:30] sphika, but honestly, the only solution is asking in the Veetle forums or producing more precise error messages that we can eliminate one by one. [05:30] is there any way to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 without having to upgrade to 10.10 first? [05:31] TeamColtra: Can you open edit connection, from nm-applet? [05:32] Thanks, qin. [05:32] melissita: http://tinyurl.com/3mw7ada [05:32] magn3ts, this is more fyi; the script says: "You are running this script as root. Veetle recommends against installing [05:32] on the superuser account. We suggest you press now and reinstall [05:32] on the user account you typically use to run Firefox or Mozilla. [05:32] " [05:32] qin, yes [05:33] What is the XP equivalent for control+alt+del in Ubuntu? [05:34] TeamColtra: Wired tab > Auto eth0 > Edit > IPv4 Settings tab > Method: Shared to other... and restart xbox (if nesssesary) [05:34] Z_Guru: to do what? get a task manager? shutdown? [05:34] Thats where I started [05:34] To shut down a non-responsive program. [05:35] to kill an unresponsive program do: ps aux | grep nameofprogram [05:35] Or restart when all is frozen? [05:35] Z_Guru: menu > System > Admin > System Monitor (or something), also htop in terminal, or just top. [05:35] when it lists it do a: kill -9 ID#OFPROGRAMLISTED [05:35] qin, after I did that the xbox was at least talking to the laptop... now that I have done all these other things, even after rolling them back my laptop isn't communicating with mr xbox [05:35] sphika, lol, well that was a bit of a mistake [05:35] Z_Guru, in addition to the kill and killall commands from terminal, there is also the gui xkill program. NOTE! don't do -9 as noisewaterphd recommended! [05:36] Z_Guru: as you can see, many options [05:36] yes do -9 [05:36] just kill that sucka dead [05:37] noisewaterphd, that's actually a BAD idea. You should CERTAINLY try with -9 first! [05:37] TeamColtra: Just: sudo ifconfig br0 down [05:37] noisewaterphd, s/with/without/ [05:37] definitely, cut to the chase man [05:37] Wow, but the situation I was in the PC froze while playing a video and no keys on the keyboard responded.. [05:37] TeamColtra: does xbox uses dhcp? [05:37] noisewaterphd, that's poor advice [05:37] qin, yes [05:38] qin, no like I removed all that stuff from my interface file [05:38] magn3ts, yep, I was actually afraid to ask for help. anyway I guess chown'ing the directory fixes it.. [05:38] ZykoticK9: and I think your's is, so leave it be [05:38] so now my computer doesn't try to bridge [05:38] sphika, good [05:38] but even still I must have changed something and didn't realize it because I am certainly not at "factory defaults" [05:39] TeamColtra: Well, leave lo, and restart networking. [05:39] -9 in the terminal? [05:39] qin, are those commands? [05:39] "leave lo" [05:39] Sorry for being an idiot sometimes :) [05:39] Z_Guru, try CTRL+ALT+F1 to see if you get a VT, CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back BTW === Kasjopaja2311122 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest56191 [05:40] Yeah, absolutely none of those combos do anything here. [05:41] Z_Guru, BTW you could use ALT+PRINTSCREEN+k to "restart" a locked Xorg [05:41] TeamColtra: No, networkmanager do not use /etc/networks/interfaces anyway, but "auto lo" line should be there. [05:41] Z_Guru, I've seen where ctrl-esc or ctrl-alt-esc can bring up applets to kill processes.... [05:41] TeamColtra: line 2: iface lo inet loopback [05:41] Z_Guru, if you've got no keyboard response there isn't much you can do other than restart, unless you have another machine you can use to ssh into the frozen box and kill the locked process [05:42] Z_Guru: the -9 is an arg to the kill command [05:43] qin, http://paste2.org/p/1491201 [05:43] thats what I have (before editing it to what you told me) [05:43] Neat, didn't know you could do that from another machine, cool. [05:44] When I try to install a theme, it says that it's invalid. Do you guys know if there's a way to fix that? [05:44] Or if I'm doing it wrong? [05:45] TeamColtra: Yeah, you will need to restart: sudo service networking restart [05:45] Luxe, probably need to extract it and put the folders into ~/.themes [05:45] How do I do that? ;/ [05:45] teamcoltra@paradoxicon:~$ sudo service networking restart (line2) restart: Unknown instance: [05:45] Ugh, I swear I'm too stupid for Ubuntu. [05:46] Considering Ubuntu is more user friendly than Windows is... I highly doubt that [05:46] One more question, is there anyway to stream media files from Ubuntu to an Xbox 360? Like being able to do so trough Windows Media Player? [05:46] -.- [05:46] I'm not tech savvy. [05:46] Luxe: not true man, don't give up, you will LOVE Linux if you give it an honest chance [05:46] I just can't figure out how to do anything :c [05:47] I'm trying so hard :P [05:47] you are on IRC, thats a great start [05:47] Oh. [05:47] I've been on IRC for years. [05:47] Like 5. [05:47] Luxe: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:47] IRC is easy. [05:47] Z_Guru: yes! I don't remember the name of the program, just google for it though [05:47] It's installing this stupid theme that I want that's a pain. [05:47] TeamColtra: Tested gui made bridge with any device under the hand (4 different distros & android tablet) 100% success rate. [05:47] qin, [05:47] hmm [05:48] Then maybe I should have just restarted my xbox when I did it from network manager [05:48] Luxe: What theme, metacity, compiz, emerald? [05:48] Uh. [05:48] I don't even know. I'm just getting them from gnome-look. [05:48] Luxe, just link us to where you found it [05:48] Ohkay. [05:48] ;) lets go with baby steps here. [05:49] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac4lin_evo?content=142816 [05:49] This one's the first one I was wanting. [05:49] Luxe: sorry man, I always just go with default themes so I cant help really. and personally I find the ambiance theme quite nice [05:49] * hiexpo passes spoon [05:49] Luxe: wait, you are using gnome, not unity right? [05:49] Luxe: what version of ubuntu [05:49] Yes. Gnome. [05:49] Is there any way to not have to run "export TERM="xterm-256color"" every time I open a new terminal (gnome-terminal) [05:49] 10.10 [05:50] It's Maverick. [05:50] Luxe: ok, just checking [05:50] My wife say, glad you love Ubuntu, but I can't stream all your movies and songs like I used to! So me must find the alternative. I hate Microsoft! [05:50] Z_Guru: ushare [05:51] Z_Guru: http://www.themanfromdelmonte.co.uk/2010/02/09/stream-video-to-xbox-360-from-ubuntu-with-ushare/ [05:51] qin, is there a way of me just restoring all my network settings back to default? Because I had it soo close before with exactly the recomendation you gave me [05:51] qin, but I must have changed some setting along the way and I can't tell which it is [05:51] (apart from a reinstall of course :P ) [05:51] TeamColtra: this how server ifconfig lookslike http://pastebin.com/2bDZVKQk , and ip of client 10.42.43.66 ... [05:52] Z_Guru: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Media [05:52] TeamColtra: Did you add any rules to iptables? [05:52] Nope [05:53] I was told that I didn't need iptables so I kept away from it [05:53] Excellent! Thank you! noisewaterphd rules! [05:53] TeamColtra: have you tried temporarily turning off iptables and testing just to be sure there isnt an issue [05:53] TeamColtra: So, restart of network-manager should do, also... [05:53] has anyone ever had a problem with dhcpcd saying invalid UDP packet from 192.168.x.x? [05:53] I will purge bridge-utils because thats the only thing left [05:54] Z_Guru: check out milamber suggestion as well, cause I've never actually used either of them, one might be a better fit for you [05:54] TeamColtra: iptables for server http://paste.ubuntu.com/633435/ [05:55] qin, that doesn't tell me much (or what I need to do) [05:55] TeamColtra: If your setup is same, it have to work, and you would need to check setting of xbox [05:55] TeamColtra: your ifconfig, how it looks like? 10 minutes, coffee. [05:56] qin, I know that the support ettiqutte is to do all of our conversing in the public channel to help everyone but do you mind us querying for a bit so I can get a grasp on everything? [05:57] anyone? [05:57] hellp, can anyone help me with installing ubuntu [05:57] i have boooted Ubuntu from my flash drive, but when i try to install it... it says No root fule system [05:58] im trying to install it to the same drive I am booting it live [05:58] XMD_, are you saying you want to install it to the flash drive? [05:59] TeamColtra: yes [05:59] It already is [05:59] has anyone ever had a problem with dhcpcd saying invalid UDP packet from 192.168.x.x? [05:59] ok [05:59] i get it [05:59] that swhat I though [05:59] so then how to i use a .run file? [06:00] Yeah it will show you the install link... but its already installed. [06:00] Remedy--: how are you connecting? [06:00] You guys are the best! Thank you both, I will explore both options and get back to you to let you know what worked. Thanks noisewaterphd and milamber! [06:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage [06:00] XMD_: mark it as executable and run it in a terminal [06:00] ActionParsnip: what do you mean? its wlan0 [06:00] XMD_, ^ [06:00] Z_Guru: no problem. [06:00] Remedy--: then its a wireless connection [06:00] ok thanks so much for this help, im a new user to ubuntu [06:00] ActionParsnip: yes i wasnt sure what you meant [06:01] Remedy--: tried a different wireless channel, or different (or no) encryption [06:01] XMD_, its what we are here for :) [06:01] ActionParsnip: ill try a different wireless channel but id rather have my router running WPA [06:01] Remedy--: can the wireless interface connect to other wireless routers? [06:01] That and the free coffee canonical gives us... [06:02] Remedy--: not all wireless interfaces can use WPA under Linux [06:02] ActionParsnip: ive had this working before under ubuntu with no problems before [06:02] Remedy--: thats a ood sign [06:03] yacc, use WPA2, even WPA is dead simple to crack [06:03] ActionParsnip: i literally cannot figure out where the invalid UDP packet is coming from tho... [06:03] Remedy--: think about it..... your interface is asking for DHCP. What is most likely the ONLY DHCP server you have..... [06:04] in fact i use WPA2, mac address filter, and change the password weekly here at home [06:04] ActionParsnip: obviously i mean tho im not sure why im getting an invalid UDP packet now when ive had this working before [06:04] but I am required to for work at home purposes [06:04] TeamColtra: how do i mark the .run file? [06:04] "mark"? [06:05] i am tryin got use ubuntu as a OS on my bitoin mining rigs [06:05] Remedy--: possibly interference on the channel with another router using the same [06:05] XMD_: mark it as executable and run it in a terminal [06:05] ? [06:05] Okay, Ubtu crashed [06:05] Ubuntu crashed on install [06:05] During the Installing Language Packs screen [06:05] XMD_, did you view my link? [06:05] XMD_: well chmod 777 will work for sure [06:06] if you are just trying to test it out [06:06] then scale it back for just the proper user afterwords [06:06] noisewaterphd: not necessary [06:06] XMD_: if you run: chmod +x filename it will mark it as executable [06:06] TeamColtra: didnt see your link [06:06] XMD_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage [06:07] well and if you su to the user running it you can set x for just that user as well [06:07] God damnit [06:07] !su [06:07] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [06:07] but I dont even know what program we are talking about or what kind of security risks are invloved [06:08] does relatime make any difference on lts kernel [06:08] noisewaterphd, he is a novice using GUI -- I am going to presume he isn't comfortable with CHOWN [06:08] mrdeb: its a low latency kernel, great for sound developers [06:08] gotcha [06:08] what [06:08] jumping in late, ill shush [06:08] rtight click file change ownership than [06:09] i asked if addting relatime makes any difference [06:09] mrdeb, do you mean "realtime" or "relatime"? [06:09] XMD_, I normally wouldn't "over ride" other people -- but trust me follow the link I just linked to (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage ) and follow that and you will have no problems. Disregard the other stuff [06:09] ActionParsnip: cheers changing the channel worked perfectly [06:09] mrdeb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime [06:09] magn3ts, it's giving me the same error with the regular version. [06:09] Remedy-: not just a hat stand ;) [06:10] WilliamC, is it during install? before? during booting the live cd or what? [06:10] During install [06:10] Error msg again? [06:10] It just says that installer has crashed. [06:10] mrdeb: I answer your question on realtime. It makes a difference but only in few situations, for standard desktop activities you won't see the benefits [06:10] It was during the language pack installation phase [06:11] WilliamC, hm [06:11] WilliamC, after it crashes... what do you get/see? [06:11] A desktop [06:11] Remedy-: someone nearby just got a new router and wasn't courteous (or smart) enough to scan to see what channels should be ok [06:11] TeamColtra: after i run the thing in the terminal, the terminal just disappears/ [06:11] Also, have you tried booting it? I think it install the lang packs after installing grub (but I could be wrong) [06:11] XMD_, then its probably installed. [06:11] Then it tried to boot into desktop and show me the error log but that kept giving IO errors [06:11] oh wow, i have never used this before... [06:11] I tried booting normally but my computer behaved as if no OS was installed [06:11] where was it installed? [06:12] XMD_: what filename do you have which you want to run? [06:12] its the ATI drives [06:12] What other Linux distro should I use? [06:13] ActionParsnip: well im glad it works now, this actually wasnt an ubuntu problem i recently switched to arch linux and i just tried asking in here hoping someone had the same problem before [06:13] drivers for my video cards [06:13] Remedy-: arch isnt supported here [06:13] hi all can someone tell me how to find the /dev/ path to my internal mic. I see /dev/snd but using that path with ffmpeg results in an error [06:13] Remedy-: ask in the arch channel in future, or switch to ubuntu [06:13] My computer at a random time hard-freezes when runnning java. How can I find out the cause? [06:14] guys quick question, i got older supermicro server laying around and just curious when it comes to pci-x/e - lets say i wanna put newer raid contreoller in it, does it really depend on the mother board, or "as long as it fits - it will work" ? [06:14] Rarely do you need to install drivers from anywhere else but Ubuntu... and I would say more often than not you don't need those drivers in the first place. Is it a special GPU that doesn't have its driver in the Ubuntu repos yet? [06:14] tadasbiz: i'd ask in ##hardware [06:14] thank you, will do. [06:14] 11.04 64-bit [06:15] hey guys, How do I remove the grub loader and get my windows loader back? [06:15] Nielsen: reinstall windows? [06:15] NielsMkn: windows repaid option off cd [06:15] repair [06:16] ah can I use syslinux for this? [06:16] no === tum is now known as Guest74346 [06:16] NielsMkn: use your windows CD, ask in ##windows [06:17] ok thanks :) [06:17] I just did upgrade from the failed install [06:17] Hello. I've got weird issue with my Ubuntu. After upgrade, i have used my ubuntu about two weeks. Now sudently, none of the applications wont start. Firefox ect... No errors in logs. [06:17] NielsMkn back in 2004 or so I remember MAndriva / mandrake had an option on the installer cd to restore/ recreate windows boot [06:17] rcmaehl: is the ram healthy? [06:17] NielsMkn: this is a linux irc server [06:17] Any idea ? I've checked HW, by dmesg it is allright. [06:17] joar: good ol mandrake :) [06:17] :p [06:17] ActionParsnip: Memtest detects no errors and it only happens with java [06:17] rcmaehl: how did you install java? [06:18] Desktop works fine, no lag or issues, but when i am trying to start some app. IT wont start [06:18] folivora: run firefox from a terminal, what is output? [06:18] ActionParsnip: umm repos i think [06:18] rcmaehl: try: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/ [06:19] ActionParsnip: ok [06:19] Where can I find known installer bugs? [06:20] ActionParsnip: what about what I'm using now [06:20] Which is openjdk [06:21] rcmaehl: not sure of that, that is a very good PPA with 64bit and 32bit java. If you want to use openjdk then I've no idea there as I don't use it :( [06:21] ok [06:21] thx [06:22] whats the best hacking book to read [06:22] update, what kind of hacking? this may not be appropriate for #ubuntu. [06:23] later guys [06:23] magn3ts what channel would i go to [06:23] ActionParsnip: ill let you know if it works [06:23] update, well like I said, depends on what you're really asking about. You can PM me if you like. [06:23] magn3ts, if Ubuntu doesn't work, what distro would you recommend? [06:24] WilliamC, did you answer my last question to you? [06:24] Yeah [06:24] WilliamC, depends on if it's a hardware thing or a bug in the installer. [06:24] lol [06:24] your disc is bad or your CD ROM is broken probably [06:24] Or your HD is failing. [06:25] everytime i start up ubuntu my screen freezes and i have to use a keyboard shortcut to unfreeze my screen. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong? [06:25] based on IO errors... I'd recommend checking the disc on boot WilliamC [06:25] magn3ts, I already did that for hours [06:25] WilliamC, the memory check or disc check? [06:26] I ran the Boot and Nuke [06:26] The disk check should not take hours... [06:26] WilliamC, uh, not what I'm talking about at all. [06:26] DBAN isn't helpful in any of these scenaris [06:26] magn3ts, it checked for HDD errors at the same time [06:26] uh, DBAN? No, not the kind of check I'm talking about. [06:26] what are these kinds of websites called http://tagwarrior.com/preview/?theme=BlueSteel%202.0 -- where the top bar extends across the screen like that? See a lot of sites like them but do they have a name? [06:27] !ot | Cydd [06:27] Cydd: #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! [06:27] OMG [06:27] jordan hates me! [06:27] WilliamC, DBAN is only used for Hard Drive wiping, which isn't really of concern to us right now. [06:27] Cydd, what do you mean? That's just a style property, not hard to reproduce on any old site. [06:28] magn3ts, maybe I should turn off update while installing [06:28] hi [06:28] WilliamC, lol, I told you things to try ;) [06:28] WilliamC, when the disc loads, don't press "Run/Install Ubuntu" [06:28] click, "Check Disc for Errors" [06:28] that shouldn't take a long time and I suspect is going to tell you that there is an error with the CD you made. [06:28] am usin' ubuntu lucid, should i install gnome shell from repos and it will have gnome3 desk environment?? [06:29] thunder1212, you shouldn't install anything related to gnome3 in that ancient install. [06:29] thunder1212, gnome3 ppa break Natty... I'd hate to see what it does to Lucid. [06:29] Can I have Ubuntu continue from the point of failure? [06:30] hello all, whats the easiest solution for sharing my media dfiles between local users on laptop ubuntu 11.04 [06:30] WilliamC, you mean when you go through can the installer pick up where it left off? [06:30] yeah [06:30] WilliamC, no. It can't do that. [06:30] damnit [06:30] Even if there was a way to code that reliably, the feature would probably never be developed for time-cost. [06:30] magn3ts, ok so the upgrade is not yet stable, and i should stick to gnome 2.. right : ) ? [06:31] thunder1212, yes [06:31] Where is the crash log located? [06:31] thunder1212, I wouldn't really think about gnome3 until Oneiric. [06:31] When it will be available and supported. [06:31] !info gnome-shell [06:31] Package gnome-shell does not exist in natty [06:31] thunder1212: gnome shell isn't in the repos [06:32] magn3ts, will Oneiric will release with gnome 3 ? [06:32] ActionParsnip, i enable lucid proposed and its showing there [06:32] should i create share folder in /share dir and use symlinks from each home folder? [06:32] thunder1212, not on disc or in the install. [06:32] thunder1212: oneiric isn't discussed here, ask in #ubuntu+1 [06:32] you would have had to have enabled the gnome3 ppa to see gnome-shell in lucid. [06:32] ActionParsnip, ok [06:33] how do i get around permissions for sharing too? [06:33] I found the error [06:34] magn3ts, ok its there and its 5 Mb file i think its something incomplete.. anyway, i will stick to gnome 2 thnx ; ) [06:34] SQUASHFS Error: unable to read data cache entry [06:34] Bye.. [06:34] anyone? [06:35] hammoommah: Sharing? [06:35] between users on local machine [06:35] all their media [06:36] Is the Ubuntu Software Center used in Ubuntu 11.04 version 4.0? [06:36] just wondering what the easist solution is [06:36] hammoommah: you could make a group and add the users you want to give acceess to the folder to the group, then make that group the group owner of the data [06:37] hammoommah: idealy, make group sharingfolks and add users to that group, chown (ownership) /share for group and match permissions group in /share [06:37] ok coolies can do thanks [06:37] ActionParsnip: Neat. [06:38] test [06:38] WilliamC, like I said, I'm willing to bet it's a problem with: Your CD drive, Your CD, Your Hard Drive. [06:39] WilliamC, something, somewhere is trying to read something and is either unable to, or is getting corrupt data. [06:39] The chances of it being physical/media related is greater than a bug IMO (as a developer and troubleshooter) [06:39] It failed at both spots so it's probably the CD [06:40] I'm running a full RAM check right now [06:40] WilliamC, md5 the iso and do the disk integrity check yet? [06:41] I've been trying to install Virtualbox, but every method I've found doesn't work. [06:41] Israfel, which version [06:41] hi, is it possible to pass a path to sudo? [06:41] exit [06:42] bazhang, 4.04 [06:42] bazhang, virtualbox-4.0_4.0.8-71778~Ubuntu~natty_amd64.deb === midoski is now known as dimm === dimm is now known as midoski [06:43] bazhang, Also tried the script here: http://www.multimediaboom.com/install-virtualbox-4-0-4-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-10-04/ [06:43] Israfel: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [06:43] WilliamC, :/ just check the CD. RAM check will take over 10 times longer than the disc check.... [06:44] its really, really, really easy to check too [06:44] Hey folks, I've got a line6 ux2, a piece of recording hardware, essentially an external sound card, and I found some drivers for it, but I'm not sure how proceed from there [06:44] ice9, not supported out of the box? What form are the drivers in? [06:44] (I don't really know how to help you, but that question is helpful to whoever can) [06:45] magn3ts, its from a subversion repository [06:45] ice9, link [06:45] svn co https://line6linux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/line6linux/driver/trunk line6usb [06:45] http://www.tanzband-scream.at/line6/ [06:45] qin, unmet dependancie. [06:45] is where I found them [06:45] ice9, looks like it should be included in ubuntu according to the readme... [06:46] well, maybe not, I can't quite tell here. [06:46] how do I get to them? [06:47] ice9, the README tells you what you need to know [06:47] er, INSTALL: https://line6linux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/line6linux/driver/trunk/INSTALL [06:47] omfg amazing voice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Br5N3jOes [06:48] Cydd, do you need IRC rooms to post random stuff too? I have plenty that would appreciate it more than #ubuntu. [06:48] Cydd, wrong channel [06:48] Cydd, dont paste here [06:48] Does ubuntu work on i7 sandy bridge CPU's ? [06:48] yes [06:48] Will it work on my Dell XPS www.dell.com/us/p/xps-l502x/fs [06:48] snimavat: should be fine [06:48] probably [06:48] Will it support the Nvidia G force 525 optimus ? [06:48] omg [06:48] the hate [06:49] why dont you guys just lynch him [06:49] here [06:49] Cydd, stop [06:49] * Cydd grabs rope [06:49] Cydd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:49] Cydd, it's a high traffic channel and you're spamming. what do you expect. [06:49] snimavat, probably? [06:49] Okey, Great [06:50] snimavat: I wouldn't base purchasing decisions on guessing. you need to do more research than ask here. [06:50] I have ordered, Dell xps i7, 8GB, 750GB, Nvidia G force 525 optimus, blueray. Was concerned about ubuntu working on it [06:50] hello all, i have just set up a new comp, and when i boot, my new monitor says that Grub's resolution is "out of bounds" how do i change resolution that grub boots witbh [06:50] snimavat, SwedeMike is very right. [06:50] SwedeMike : I am not in the process of deciding, i have already ordered. [06:50] hi, I miss the network-manager symbol in gnome / natty cause I'm on ethernet, how do I get it? [06:51] magn3ts, I'm sorry, I'm relearning all of this, but I get an error message doing the rpmbuild from that readme [06:51] snimavat: well, then the only way to know is to try it. [06:51] DarsVaeda, Open your Networking app and click the check box :) [06:51] where do I find that? [06:51] snimavat: that system should work nice with ubuntu [06:51] ice9, :/ you don't want to do RPM stuff in ubuntu. RPM is for redhat-related distros. [06:51] snimavat: I am a lot less sure that it'll work ok than other people here. [06:51] SwedeMike: Have not received it yet, but thanks === marcusg67 is now known as gartral [06:51] DarsVaeda, you in Unity? [06:51] nope gnome [06:51] magn3ts, how long do you think it should take? [06:52] I was in "network connections" but there is no said checkbox [06:52] WilliamC, the CD check? idk, when doing it in Ubuntu it takes less than 3 minutes... can't imagine ti would take much longer. [06:52] DarsVaeda, hm, you're right. [06:52] magn3ts, the source isn't working either, but I think I'm missing a step [06:52] I have heard that Linux doesnt support the new i7 quad core cpus yet [06:52] DarsVaeda, How did I do this before. Give me a sec. [06:52] I also know there is such checkbox anywere [06:52] or was [06:52] ice9, "make install" didn't work? [06:53] snimavat: that is a lie [06:53] magn3ts, no errors [06:53] snimavat, I have no idea why or how that could be true [06:53] WilliamC, :/ uhm... [06:53] Okey, Thanks to you all friends here [06:53] magn3ts, the first step of "tar xjf line6usb-0.9.1beta.tar.bz2 [06:53] " [06:53] says not found [06:53] I would either try installing from a USB or download a HD check utility from your HD manufacturers' site. [06:53] WilliamC, does your HD click or anything? [06:53] no [06:54] ice9, lol you need to be in the directory where you downloaded the line6usb TAR.GZ (think of ZIP) file to. [06:54] O.o [06:54] * V3NG3NC3 taps the mic [06:54] this thing on? [06:54] yes V3NG3NC3 [06:54] magn3ts, where does it go by default? [06:54] V3NG3NC3, ubuntu support issue? [06:54] magn3ts, I think I'll disable the update during install setting [06:54] WilliamC, I'd google the error message you found, make sure you have the terminal-ending error message... [06:54] This is my very first time on IRC ever, very first room [06:54] Apparently "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian natty contrib" is a broken repository. [06:54] ice9, IDK, /home/ice9/Downloads ? [06:55] Israfel, doesn't look like it to me. http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/pool/contrib/v/virtualbox-4.0/ [06:55] is this a chill room or support room? [06:55] support [06:55] V3NG3NC3, support, there's probably #ubuntu-ot or something. [06:55] V3NG3NC3, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:55] oh nice [06:55] thanks [06:55] wish I knew about this last nigth [06:55] [06:55] magn3ts, Synaptic is giving a Broken error. [06:55] was installing Lubuntu [06:56] Israfel, pastebin it to me, it's probably nonfatal. I get broken errors oftne. [06:56] magn3ts, How do I do it outside the GUI so I can echo it to a file? === VerticalAsymptot is now known as Clamor [06:58] Israfel, `` sudo bash -c "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" &> out.txt [06:58] how to check the CPU temperature? [06:58] Israfel, that will place standard and error output into out.txt [06:58] !sensors > c_nick [06:58] c_nick, please see my private message [06:58] snimavat: that system should work nice with ubuntu [06:58] hello all, i have just set up a new comp, and when i boot, my new monitor says that Grub's resolution is "out of bounds" how do i change resolution that grub boots witbh [06:59] gartral: edit /etc/default/grub [06:59] btw im on ubuntu 11.04 wit grub 2 [07:00] gartral: one line to uncommet for a 640*480 grub screen wirks for me [07:00] Magn3ts, thanks for the help, got it all installed, the device is usb, how do I get it to power on or register? [07:00] then update-grub [07:00] ice9, uh, no clue from there buddy [07:00] dr_Willis: i just changed it [07:01] magn3ts, I'm installing on the other HDD [07:01] WilliamC, good call. [07:01] But the other one is bigger and made by a better company [07:01] gartral: i had to use that on a few problem boxs. i think thats the only edit i did. [07:01] If it breaks now, it's either a bug or a problem with the CD-rom itself, but that seems unlikely since it passed the disc-check [07:02] magn3ts, http://pastebin.com/5CUVD16t [07:02] WilliamC, man, I've had bad luck with every consumer disk brand to be honest [07:02] Israfel, that error is a problem with something else. [07:02] they make disks cheap these days [07:02] dr_Willis: well, imma reboot. i'll brb if it failed [07:02] It's an 80 GB SeaGate and a 60GB WD Caviar [07:02] Israfel, yeah, it doesn't mention the same error as the GUI. [07:02] Israfel, if you read it there, you can see: for some reason it's unable to install some dependency of virtualbox. I don't know how to cause or undo that configuration. [07:03] Israfel, not sure what you mean... [07:03] magn3ts: the solution was simple, although really uncomfortable ">: nm-applet" [07:03] DarsVaeda, hahaha, enjoy yourself. [07:04] DarsVaeda, in Natty it's an app-indicator ;) [07:04] magn3ts, In Synaptic GUI it says I have a broken repository and to find it using the Broken filter. [07:04] I still have no idea how to make it stay there permanent thou [07:04] Israfel, does it say why it's broken? [07:04] magn3ts, Nope [07:04] Israfel, I'm willing to bet money it says "broken package" and not "broken repository" [07:04] magn3ts, Maybe, i had to close it to run the CLI [07:05] Israfel, you can try it again if you like and let me know... I bet it will say that Virtualbox-4.0 is in a broken state. [07:05] BTW: for i7 Sandy bridge CPU, I will need to download the 64 bit verion of ubuntu ryt [07:05] Israfel, I can show you how to remove Virtualbox-4.0, but I can't help you resolve that dependency problem... outside of saying to try enable multiverse/universe/etc. [07:05] magn3ts, maybe I'll download 4.08 and give that one a try. === robin is now known as Guest99221 [07:06] Israfel, wat. [07:06] Israfel, if you download the DEB and try to install it... it's going to tell you the precisely same thing. [07:07] hi, is there anybody using an Intel Sandy Bridge CPU+GPU ? it seems the GUI will lockup in Ubuntu 11.04. === Guest99221 is now known as hechu [07:07] hi, is there anybody using an Intel Sandy Bridge CPU+GPU ? it seems the GUI will lockup in Ubuntu 11.04. [07:08] is there a simple way to tell rails to use left joins instead of inner joins without writing the sql yourself? [07:08] magn3ts, Well, I was going to try the source. Since there deb package isn't available from the website yet. [07:08] TvL2386, #rails [07:08] Israfel, oh. [07:08] magn3ts, whoops... wrong channel :D [07:09] Israfel, also, there are DEBS very available on vb.org. [07:09] hechu: it locks up on a 2.5 year old intel centrino 2 as well, 11.04 is the most unstable release so far, and I've been running it on my thinkpad x200 since 8.10 [07:09] Israfel, lol right on the Linux_Downloads page. [07:09] magn3ts, Oh, thanks. I was on virtualbox.org [07:09] Israfel, I meant virtualbox.org [07:10] Israfel, all the i386 and AMD64 links are downloads: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [07:10] magn3ts, Victory baptist Church? [07:10] magn3ts, Ah,ok [07:11] SwedeMike, oh, that's suck. Ubuntu usually runs fine on my old Dell laptop, but after I bought a new HP i5 laptop, the lockup occurs always almost every time as long as I use Intel driver. I have to switch to "fbdev" driver. [07:14] what can i do if i find myself unable to switch to virtual consoles? [07:14] dr_Willis: nope. didn't work, i think it's something to do wit the Westinghouse monitor the machine is hooked up to [07:15] Romme, You can always just use screens instead. [07:15] Israfel: i'm in xorg now [07:15] dr_Willis: this is quite annoying as now i can't see Grub boot into windows [07:15] sup [07:15] It installed [07:16] hey [07:16] Romme, Ah, you're in a GUI and want a console? [07:16] Israfel: yep [07:16] gentoo vs. ubuntu [07:16] who'd win? [07:16] gartral: odd there should be some mode/options that give you a basic text based grub menu. thsts what i use [07:16] update: tat is offtopic here [07:17] my bad actionparsnip [07:17] gartral: im not at home so cant check my vonfigs [07:17] Romme, Ctrl-Alt-F1. F7 for GUI again [07:17] Israfel: if it worked, it would be cool :) [07:17] How do I setup autologon? [07:18] Romme, It's not a virtual console, but it's a console if you need one. [07:18] dr_Willis: can i pm you my email [07:18] WilliamC: its in "login screen" [07:18] ill just lose it gartral im on my vellphone. [07:19] guys can you run dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync or hdparm /dev/your_drive just curious what is the usual i/o. [07:19] very basic irc vlient here [07:19] dr_Willis: i can now confirm it's a monitor issue as the VT (F1-F6) gives me the same problems [07:20] Israfel: nevermind, i found the issue [07:20] dr_Willis: ok, ok. i'll remember too bring it up later if that's ok. when will you be home? [07:20] gartral: hmm there is the text option that may gix the consoles. but not grub [07:20] it was the gnome keyboard layout switcher, or whatever it's called [07:20] 8 hrs from now. unless i get To do 12hrs [07:20] it was telling xorg to capture Ctrl + Alt + Whatever keys [07:21] dr_Willis: i'll remember tomarrow. if that's ok? [07:21] gartral: check askubuntu.com also [07:21] tadasbiz: http://pastie.org/2127661 [07:21] dr_Willis: will do [07:21] ill be here sometime. heh [07:21] ty [07:21] tadasbiz: its an 80Gb PATA drive [07:21] I don't see where the administrative settings are in the new version [07:21] has the alt-f2 pasting issue been fixed? [07:21] dr_Willis: lol. ok [07:22] arney: what was the issue? [07:22] that I can't paste into the unity alt-f2 [07:24] arney, yes you can paste with click on mousewheen [07:24] or wheel [07:24] how much RAM does ubuntu 32 support? [07:24] ubuntu 11.04, that is [07:25] Milossh, 4 Gb [07:25] Holy crap, my Seagate has 46 bad sectors [07:25] ok, then I'm switching to 32bit :) [07:26] any easy way to downgrade to 32 bit version? [07:26] #bitcoin-mining [07:26] So, do HDD sectors just go bad over time? [07:26] WilliamC: they do [07:27] This computer is about a decade old, well, the one I'm installing on [07:27] Milossh: 32bit will run about 4Gb, 32bit PAE can use 12Gb [07:27] Milossh: reinstall will be needed to switch to 32bit [07:27] ActionParsnip, full install? [07:27] as in, remove everything and install? [07:28] WilliamC: they wear out, yes. I'd ask in ##hardware [07:28] has anyone had luck getting 5.1 sound using a realtek acl892 chipset on an asus p8p67 mobo running 10.10 ? [07:28] Milossh: yes, you can restore user data and settings from backup [07:28] ActionParsnip, which backup software would you recommend? [07:30] Milossh: there are many, I just use a cheap and cheerful copy and paste. Why do you not have a backup?

[08:19] hi guys, do you know any cloud based file server that offers also some "collaboration"? i mean something like: one file can be edited by multiple users [08:20] <_NiC> Guest95677, you can at least find out what's been changed: find / -user http and if you're lucky, there's a fair chance that it'll be fine by setting those to group root. [08:20] we wanted to implement our own server [08:20] <_NiC> Guest95677, depending on which files are affected of course [08:20] _NiC: can I exclude a dir with find? [08:20] <_NiC> Guest95677, yes, but I can't remember the exact syntax [08:23] DND: try gobby (and sobby is the server if you want one, or you just pick one guy to host from gobby) [08:23] well that's a unique name. (sob)by [08:23] DND: It works on the internet. It's not "cloud based", but that's a silly requirement to begin with. [08:24] Guest95677: I think it's something like find thedir -not -name thediryouwanttoexclude ...... [08:24] leagris: on my cell phone [08:25] hmm we wanted to implement something like dropbox. i mean i will just mount a network drive to windows and upload [08:25] we're talking about end-users here :D [08:25] who complains everything tough :D [08:25] *is tough [08:26] isent there some gpl dripbox clone out? [08:26] im checking out ifolder and owncloud [08:26] but i havent seen something like locking a file while its being edited [08:27] google has somthing like thst. dont they [08:28] anyone have a clue as to how to install 10.10 on a PS3? [08:28] hmm [08:28] been looking through tons of guides for the PPC distros [08:29] since the PS3 is running a PPC processor [08:29] if i have a screen session on my mac, then i ssh and have another screen session, how do i detach from the screen session within the ssh session, and not the one on my mac? [08:29] !ppc [08:29] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [08:30] i am sshing into ubuntu btw, but maybe this is a osx question [08:30] yeah, saw that...

[08:33] this is all i have [08:35] Banshee will not open. I have tried purging it and reinstalling, but it continually gives me this error: http://pastie.org/2122608 while launching it from terminal gives me this: http://pastie.org/2122611 [08:37] Starminn, whats the error? [08:37] removeing stuff via apt does Not remove user settingd. try making a new user see if the apt works fir them [08:38] if it does work. clean out the problem user settings. === adan0s_ is now known as adan0s [08:39] dr_Willis: use apt-get remove --purge package, instead of just remove [08:40] dr_Willis: oh. you were responding [08:40] nevermind me :) [08:40] danslo1: that will not remove USER settings in /home/ [08:40] pankaj_sharma: IT's in the link.. [08:40] heh [08:41] dr_Willis: yeah, I've always wondered how you properly keep your home folder clean... I always check the files manually and delete if necessary [08:41] danslo1: By the way, sudo apt-get purge is the same as sudo apt-get remove --purge (to my understanding, anyway) so less typing [08:41] its a complex problem [08:42] same goes for installing packages from source, there isn't really a way to remove everything properly unless you still have makefile and it has proper uninstall rule [08:42] it's an annoying problem imo :) [08:42] So... I'm going to be traveling with my new ubuntu netbook. Is there anything you would recommend to do for protection on open wireless networks? [08:42] my android phone is cluttered also [08:42] Duck_: don't do anything that you dont want public :) [08:43] Should I setup a firewall or something? [08:44] if you want [08:44] Duck_: I wouldn't be too worried about your netbook being infiltrated... more worried about people sniffing your network traffic ;) [08:45] Duck_, make sure your Facebook and Twitter accounts (amongst others) have HTTPS enabled [08:46] hi all [08:47] danslo1: bleachbit is good :) === ksinkar_ is now known as ksinkar [08:52] excuse me guys.. i would like to ask a question..

[08:53] but it still does after the update [08:53] Razor11: lxde here [08:54] gener1c: ask in #ubutu+1 if you are using the 39 kernel, that is the oneiric branch [08:54] how about julinux? is it an ubuntu os?? [08:54] yeah i wanted to ask what that branch was [08:55] what does this oneiric mean [08:55] Razor11: its yet another spinoff and is not supported in any of the official ways the official canonical releases are [08:55] it has the same kernel versions [08:55] gener1c: its the codename of 11.10 [08:55] oh [08:55] anyways ActionParsnip i was using natty 64bit [08:55] gener1c: i'd test your RAM [08:55] upgraded kernel because there was a post about it fixing my issue [08:55] but it didnt [08:56] excuse,how can i list the channels according a command?thank you [08:56] ActionParsnip: thanks, plus the fan goes crazy if it helps [08:56] Razor11: there are tonnes of spinoff OSes based on Ubuntu which are equally not supported here [08:57] gener1c: maybe there is a bug with ACPI with your system, I'd check for bugs too [08:57] how would i go about doing that?

[10:43] wow [10:43] ssh is full of hidden awesome [10:43] its essential [10:44] rhin0: Of course, sshd will need the config allowing X forwarding, etc. [10:44] jpds, i think by default on ubuntu it works [10:44] But that should be on by default.

[10:50] KrUpTiOn, im not seeing the problem with that :D [10:50] whats the proper way of executing "xrdb --merge ~/.Xdefaults" on startup, .bashrc, .xinitrc, .bash_profile and the likes do not seem to work [10:50] appi_uppi: you can format a pen-drive using a program called 'gparted' install that [10:50] KrUpTiOn, you should get a menu when you start the computer offering linux or windows, windows will be at the bottom of the list [10:50] velofille:> If I could figure out how to use my sprint mobile account in unbuntu I wouldn't even use windows... :( [10:50] Sterist: the readme is in English, as is the INSTALL files, there is also the channel #bitcoin on this network for help [10:51] otherwise its just another volume appi_uppi [10:51] The problem is, after I installed unbuntu, when I click on the Windows 7 option, it won't boot into windows.. [10:51] i had unchecked the volume option and there is no volume showing on screen i want to take it back but i forgot where is the option for it please help [10:51] KrUpTiOn, sorry i cant help, im heading to bed. Google though should be able to solve the sprint mobile thing as well as the grub [10:51] do you see any messages KrUpTiOn ie. does it try to boot into windows [10:52] KrUpTiOn, ahh, maybe its got the wrong partition setup in menu.lst (check /etc/grub ?) [10:52] I called sprint, they said they 'don't support' anything but Windows on their netbooks.. stupid... [10:52] it won't be grub if it shows windows messages (trying to start windows) it'll be a problem with windows [10:52] if windows is on the grub menu as you say [10:52] KrUpTiOn, its probably just drivers then initiating ppp or similar [10:52] Yea, it gives me a error message then goes back to the bootloader menu [10:52] oh i got it. [10:52] what error message? [10:53] KrUpTiOn: the windows directory structure (volume) will be viewable (mounted) in ubuntu so you will still see your files [10:53] rhin0, not sure thats gonna help him boot it though [10:53] well it reassures him that his files are still intact [10:53] true, i suppose you could always make it a VM [10:53] Yea, I can use the windows partition fine, but the the loader won't boot to windows.. let me try it again, so I can get the EXACT error code it gives me [10:53] and he could even then get away from using a dual boot and setting up windows running within ubuntu [10:54] I'll be right back... [10:54] im heading to bed [10:54] its lateish here [10:54] its a windows fault KrUpTiOn [10:54] sorry i could not be of help [10:54] rhin0, lol [10:54] Yea, I hate windows.. if Sprint would give me my username and password for the mobile broadband, I wouldn't even use windows... [10:54] ubuntu may be powerful but it can't fix windows [10:55] brb... rebooting to get the exact error... [10:55] but what about samba, what files should I install apart from main one? === rafa_ is now known as Guest78132 [10:56] hi anyone here using hamachi ?

[11:02] * Siton is back (gone 00:00:12) [11:02] rhin0, it says unable to find the mount point [11:02] does it show the drive should be dev/sdb something [11:02] yes [11:02] you will be able to see what drive it is by the size [11:02] so it looks like your drive isn't mounting? [11:03] yes [11:03] i can see the size [11:03] shomon: what about the command file filename [11:03] All while [11:03] have you been able to use it from the system before -- if you just need to delete the files you should be able to just delete them through nautilus (file manager) [11:03] file just says "html text" or something - nothing about the charset keithb [11:03] no i 'm able to delete the file [11:03] "HTML document text" [11:04] hi all [11:04] and I just got enca, which says Unrecognized encoding [11:04] shomon i've just googled to see and there is a command enca -- detect and convert encoding of text files [11:04] maybe its corrupt [11:04] ah, but for the file that isn't showing up, it says "UTF8" - I want to make it unrecognised again :) [11:05] rhin0, pendrive is corrupted? [11:05] appi [11:05] no, I cut and pasted an accent into it and it shows up all wierd in my web browser [11:05] yes [11:05] so yeah corrupted by accents [11:06] can you see the files on it -- you are unable to delete it? -- gparted I have always used to format -- also there is an 'erase drive' facility in the command 'usb-creator-gtk' (used for writing iso disk imiages to the pen drive -- but the erase command may work if the gparted format doesn't work) [11:06] exit [11:06] appi_uppi: [11:06] :) [11:06] yes rhin0 [11:06] if you can see the files you can delete them appi_uppi [11:07] no need to format it [11:07] appi_uppi: was taling to shomon about corrupted stuff - not you [11:07] shomon: try editing with vi and removing the accented characters [11:07] rhin0, I am not able to delete one particular folder it's like SVN2.0 [11:07] shomon you've corrupted your file its not a case of unrecognised encoding -- you need to repair it [11:07] rhin0, :) [11:08] :) no... there are soo many... there were some already in the document, and I just cut and pasted something in... [11:08] okay. [11:08] thanks rhin0 will see... [11:08] appi_uppi -- mount it from the command line (not completely sure how) -- change the permissions on the folder and zap it [11:08] aah I think it was a microsoft character, sneaking in [11:08] probably you can change permissions through gui also -- not sure -- but the folders permissions are stopping you from erasing it [11:09] ok.... I have the error my bootloader gives me when trying to boot into windows... [11:09] when I copied in the phrase with the offending character, gedit asked me "I can't save in this format" and gave me a choice. I chose utf8... But maybe I should choose western european or some other one... [11:09] is it the bootloader giving you the error or windows error [11:09] shomon: .$s///g will get rid of all of one type of character [11:10] it's a 15 page data document :S [11:10] shomon you've completely corrupted the file now if you've completely changed the encoding -- when you saved it as utf8 you obliterated whatever format it was in ... [11:10] aaj [11:10] ouch [11:10] its been saved as a completely different file type shomon [11:10] aah... and enca or others can't convert it back then [11:11] it says: try (0,0) fat16 no wublidr (line 2) try (0,1) NTFS5 no WUBILDR (line 3) try (0,2) NTFS5 error prefix not set [11:11] hmm, gedit should offer to save as something else when that happens :/ [11:12] shomon: it can't as the character does not have an equivalent in non-UTF-8 [11:12] Does anybody know what this error means when trying to boot into Windows 7 from the bootloader: [11:12] Does anybody know what this error means when trying to boot into Windows 7 from the bootloader: [11:12] I've replaced it now.. it was only a line of text so it was an m$ hyphen I think [11:12] it says: try (0,0) fat16 no wublidr (line 2) try (0,1) NTFS5 no WUBILDR (line 3) try (0,2) NTFS5 error prefix not set [11:13] kruption -- there is stuff on ubuntu forums relating to that -- I would think that it may be a corrupted volume if you're selecting the grub option from straight boot (as you must be) -- corrupted in some way -- ask someone else -- no idea really [11:14] Something else I did. when I installed Unbuntu, Windows 7 turned it's bootloader on, it had windows 7 and unbuntu listed. figured I didn't need both boot loaders, so I disabled the windows one. which was stupid of me, without figuring out which one would work... [11:14] any tool to manage sms with huawai internet device? [11:15] sounds like you need to configure grub to boot windows KrUpTiOn [11:15] grub is very configurable [11:15] Finished my computer - http://i.imgur.com/3rMbN.jpg [11:15] nice fractal background. [11:15] that sounds more hopeful KrUpTiOn -- your copy of windows will still be intact -- grub just doesn't know what it is (& how to boot it) [11:15] Yea, I dunno how to do that though. I know the /dev my windows 7 partition is on but not really sure how to do that [11:16] Thanks TrevInc [11:16] Fractals <3 [11:16] exactly! :) not sure how to tell grub how to boot into windows... [11:16] you need to research grub -- see what your current settings are for the entry for windows that you see on the grub menu and check that they are the same as what the manual says they should be for booting your particular copy of windows [11:16] grub is relatively simple to set up -- just a control file [11:17] I'm getting an error message when trying to run add-apt-repository: http://paste.ubuntu.com/633545/ [11:17] test [11:17] k.. I know how to use lilo.. I haven't used linux in about 3 years, out of touch.. I tried playin with the grub config, but no luck. guess I'll hafta research more... [11:17] rhin0 and keithb - I just fixed it without converting! I just had to change the charset in the meta tag in the html document... [11:17] TrevInc, I'm kinda mystified you knew that was a fractal. [11:18] shomon: brilliant, congrats [11:18] Luxe: I've had to take a lot of math for biomedical engineering, you stumble upon these things [11:18] excellent shomon -- this will teach you to make more backups just in case and not just save in a format thinking its just s save -- it actually re-formats [11:18] I didn't do this in math. [11:18] :3 [11:18] :) thanks keithb - yeah it's a pretty dangerous option there rhin0 [11:18] Thanks for all your help! Much appreciated! [11:20] hello! [11:20] hi sunn_er [11:20] Hmm... Ocala should be really nice this time of year [11:22] guys I have a specific problem with my microsd card [11:22] i can't format it [11:22] is there a way to change the order of stuff in the unity dock? [11:23] @elky: I think you can move the icons that aren't grey. [11:23] movan2011, how? i click and drag and the whole toolbar moves. [11:24] ooh, i click and hold. [11:24] @elky: Right [11:26] kind of a shame i can't reorganise the grey ones though [11:27] what reserve space do i give for the dialog box in first screenshot here? in MB http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [11:27] dkkd: Whatever, you don't even need it. [11:28] jpds: thanks [11:28] Could anyone help, here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/633545/ [11:29] xskydevilx: when did it still work? [11:29] xskydevilx: "could not find a " aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template" <-- whatever you are trying to install isn't there i think [11:29] maybe you can install whatever you are trying to install some other way than using apt [11:30] even as far as building (compiling it) which is actually safer [11:30] rhin0, I was trying Chromium Daily builds [11:30] I generally just install chrome through firefox no idea ... daily builds? you want the latest latest chrome right? [11:31] rhin0, Yes. [11:31] Hello, Hello, how create 'mysql' user in the machine ? [11:31] I think it's best you get the package file of whatever type (deb, rpm) onto your system and examine it [11:31] frenzz sudo adduser mysql [11:32] xskydevilx: does apt-get still work? [11:32] acicula, Yes. [11:32] acicula, I'm using Lucid, btw. [11:32] xskydevilx: what command do you use that gives you this error? [11:32] acicula, add-apt-repository [11:32] rhin0: installing stuff from source almost never makes it better wrt fixing problems [11:32] Hey, can you tell me what is the purpose of the class IndicatorServiceManager in Unity2d? [11:33] xskydevilx: try adding a different repository perhaps? [11:33] xskydevilx: maybe it does not have a lucid repository? [11:33] acicula, I doubt it. [11:34] asd [11:34] acicula, Let me try ubuntu-tweak PPA [11:34] /msg NickServ identify [11:34] acicula, Same thing === grekkos is now known as Guest79698 [11:35] xskydevilx: maybe this can provide some help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/364092 [11:35] Ubuntu bug 364092 in software-properties (Ubuntu) "software-properties-gtk doesn't start" [Undecided,Fix released] [11:36] Hey, can you tell me what is the purpose of the class IndicatorServiceManager in Unity2d? [11:36] post 6 and 7 [11:37] <_eXeCuTeR> do i need to stay online on internet in order to install ubuntu or it's not neccesary? [11:37] _eXeCuTeR: Not necessary. [11:37] _eXeCuTeR: its not required, you can install updates afterwards if you want [11:38] _eXeCuTeR: with a reasonably fast internet connection and disk id recommend being online though, as it will install all updates straight away === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [11:38] I've just had Ubuntu run its fsck utility at startup, and I noticed that it ran relatively quickly compared to when I tell Windows Vista to run its CHKDSK utility. In fact, fsck appears to only take from 5 to 10 seconds to apparently check the entire file system. Now, I'm thinking that surely fsck can't check a whole file system that quickly, so I figure something must have gone wrong with fsck. Are my suspicions correct? Or is fs [11:38] <_eXeCuTeR> ok, thanks [11:38] yugiohfan2011: ext4 fsck is fast [11:38] yugiohfan2011: ot checks the filesystems metainformation [11:38] yugiohfan2011: fsck just checks to make sure the file system is in order. by definition, it's not a full disk integrity scan [11:39] it just makes sure the file system isn't somehow messed up [11:39] What would I need if I wanted a full disk integrity scan? [11:39] yugiohfan2011: you would need to set fsck to a full scan instead of just chcking the journal [11:40] And that would, say, check the disk for bad sectors? [11:40] hey guys ... will next ubuntu be on unity ? [11:40] new to linux/ubuntu hw can i remove an installed program? [11:40] cobra-the-joker, Yes. [11:40] yugiohfan2011: you need to pass -c to fsck [11:40] <_eXeCuTeR> im trying to boot linux of my CD i just burned, and it's booting the window in which it writes: ubuntu and some dots..it lods for a long time, then goes to a terminal, tries to execute LOTS of commands and just stops booting.. [11:41] yugiohfan2011: you can not run fsck on a mounted disk though [11:41] acicula, I just went through the file "Ubuntu.info" and found out that every distro is listed there. Is that considered as normal? [11:41] <_eXeCuTeR> what could be the problem? i booted linux with Nero, when choosing to burn CD image along with this iso image i downloaded [11:41] xskydevilx: i have no idea, ill have a look [11:41] acicula, OK. I'll wait. [11:42] xskydevilx: for me it only lists my current distro [11:42] new to linux/ubuntu hw can i remove an installed program? [11:42] acicula, Can You copy/paste the file to ubuntu pastebin? [11:42] mrceez, how did you install it? [11:42] i compiled it [11:42] xskydevilx: no use, i have a different distro [11:42] libusb [11:42] libusb 1.0 [11:43] acicula, I want to compare, not to copy [11:43] mrceez: you just delete it .... there is no formal way to remove a compiled program [11:43] xskydevilx: actually i misread, it lists all distributions here as well [11:43] but there was a newer version whith i also compiled afterwards [11:43] !it [11:43] Interesting. I see Ubuntu is much more resilient than Windows after a disruptive shutdown. [11:43] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:43] acicula, Really? That's werid. [11:44] hi [11:44] any buddy [11:44] xskydevilx: the file is part of the python-apt-common package [11:44] i am trying to compile another program that uses libusb 1.08 as a dependancy [11:44] could try forcing a reinstall of that package, but not sure if your problem is even caused by that file [11:44] but it only recognise the lib1.0 and not the 1.08 [11:44] its just what came up when i googled your error === Fran_ is now known as Guest32306 [11:45] hello people [11:45] acicula, By the way, first off when I tried to run add-apt-repository it said command not found, then I installed "python-apt-properties" I belive and the problem started. [11:45] windows uses journalled filessytems too [11:46] hi solayagim [11:46] xskydevilx: i see, idk you could just remove that package again and just add the repository by hand i guess? [11:46] acicula, I could try. I doubt it'll work, though [11:48] hello [11:49] irc isnt dead... cool! [11:49] guys can some one tell me how i can iterate over a variable using shell script. That is if the variable has the follwing "some var some val" i wanna iterate over the words in the variable [11:49] looking for some help guys [11:50] khalidman: yes ? [11:50] sattu94: guys can some one tell me how i can iterate over a variable using shell script. That is if the variable has the follwing "some var some val" i wanna iterate over the words in the variable [11:50] anakinCloudWalke: for i in $(ls); do echo "$i"; done; [11:50] i used befor 11.04 but garfiphics did nto worked to me [11:50] now i use ubuntu 10.04 and it works will [11:51] acicula: i wanna iterate over a single variable not over the output from ls [11:51] Speaking of Ubuntu, I tried the Ubuntu 10.10 daily builds, and when trying to run them live, the GUI disappears and the "terminal" alike appears. Why is this happening, and what's the command to restart the GUI (or to resume it)= [11:51] *Ubuntu 11.10 [11:51] eh anakinCloudWalke it works similarly, check bash scripting, or awk [11:51] booted via unetbootin. i want to install it in another partition so i choosed advanced option. now when i click next it is showing some warning "root fs is not defind". how to choose dev/sda7(my preferred partition) here? [11:51] any help apprecxiatd [11:51] xskydevilx: its probably broken, also support for +1 in #ubuntu+1 [11:52] acicula, Awesome, thanks. [11:52] dkkd_: you tell it where to put / [11:52] i cant delete samba shares? [11:52] zombieSLAYER: you have a share on your computer you can not get rid of?

[11:54] dohomi, working here on lucid [11:55] ikonia: it gives a list of prepare partitions with change revert and delete buttons [11:55] zombieSLAYER: did you right click a directory in the filebrowser and select sharing? if so you can just untick the share option and click apply to disable the share [11:55] dohomi: i've used it before [11:55] wheew [11:55] sorry im very new with linux [11:55] im using xchat on ubuntu [11:55] :D [11:55] dkkd_: yes, but that window doesn't normally allow you to set a file system to a partition [11:55] and just try to switch from crap win7 to ubuntu [11:55] okay i have to re-share it and then un share it and it goes away [11:55] but skype is not working [11:56] dohomi, what is actually wrong? [11:56] zombieSLAYER: there is also a console based short hand, you can use net usershare {list/add/remove} [11:56] it shows available all the time but the messages doesnt get send [11:56] and for other users im offline [11:56] im using ubuntu 11.04 with gnome desktop [11:57] ikonia: ok so where do you think i am going wrong? the use as option says do not use as partition. [11:57] with unity i had less hassle [11:57] hi people what is the command to find my devices? i cant play a dvd i got and i think it because th eplayer is directed to /devices/dvd ..... any thoughts? [11:57] acicula thanks thats tits [11:57] dkkd_: partition the disk, drop out of advanced mode and set the file systems up properly [11:57] shogoot: can you see the dvd in the filebrowser? [11:57] acicula, yes [11:57] shogoot: can you see the files on the dvd? [11:58] hi there, im using ubuntu 11.04 on a eee pc. Could anyone tell me how i can check if ACPI is working properly?

[11:58] D-F3NS: pres, dont hold [11:58] mrceez: [11:58] acicula, it asks me i want to shutdown,reboot etc. [11:58] if it pops up the powerdown menu its working [11:58] from consol? [11:58] hi guys I have two questions about unity interface [11:59] "if i want..." [11:59] shogoot: did you install the dvd libraries? [11:59] !dvd [11:59] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:59] hey guys i get my printer driver and installed it and even have samba installed but my printer only work fast on windows but in ubuntu i need to turn on and off my printer === richard is now known as Guest97643 [11:59] first how can i go to real fullscreen inside apps [11:59] without this stupid unity panel on top [12:00] @oetzi, switch back to classic desktop [12:00] works without problems [12:00] ikonia: i am one step back now at -- prepare disk space. could i get some direction ? [12:00] in unity the desktop freezes lot of times... [12:00] D-F3NS: if you close the lid will the laptop suspend or enter hibernate mode as well? [12:00] dohomi when you log in -- click on the user and set the desktop as classic (no effects) for now -- obviously your graphics card can't handle unity/compiz [12:00] dkkd_: in what way direction ? [12:01] thats why your system is locking up [12:01] shogoot: usually its either missing dvd libraries, see the links from ubottu on dvd's, that are missing, or if your dvd player needs a regional code set, this is also explained in the playingdvd wikipage [12:01] acicula, coze im wondering, can run the system for about 5+ hours. thats not rly much. also the FN+Space key wont work( slow down the cpu) [12:01] @dohomi there are no freezes on my side only this panel is really anoying [12:01] acicula, i installed the package... not helping [12:01] acicula, yes it does when i close the lid. [12:01] shogoot: a good way to test is trying to copy the big files from the dvd to your harddrive, it probably is not working now [12:01] hi thin0: im using t410 lenovo and compiz with nvidia 3100 [12:01] acicula, tried taht, im just gonna reboot and se iff it helps [12:01] ikonia: i mean i want help [12:01] so it actually should work [12:01] shogoot: did you set a region code? [12:01] dkkd_: with what ? [12:01] but it wasnt stable for me [12:01] so i switched back [12:02] acicula, yes [12:02] D-F3NS: then acpi seems to be working [12:02] shogoot: hmm can you try copying the big files from the dvd then? [12:02] shogoot: or just start copying the entire thing [12:02] (not all files are css secured) [12:02] and I have another question which I'm not sure it is a unity issue [12:02] but can somebody give me a hint how to use skype? its not working at all over the day [12:03] dohomia I have had the same trouble with nvidia --- there are propietary hardware drivers fror nvidia (available from 'hardware drivers') on the menu -- there is also support for 3d facilities that unity desktop may use. they may improve the situation [12:03] D-F3NS: run powertop [12:03] dohimi [12:03] ikonia: there are options like== instakk them side by side and -- advanced options. (on unetbootin hypermedia boot) [12:03] acicula, copying is going fine. [12:03] !skype > dohomi [12:03] dohomi, please see my private message [12:03] D-F3NS: ceck your cpu governor, etc [12:03] I want to configure this info bubble which shows up by pidgin on state changes [12:03] ikonia: i am clueless [12:03] acicula, im might done the region thing wrong, hold on :) [12:03] dkkd_: have you actually read the install information ? [12:03] !install | dkkd_ [12:03] dkkd_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [12:03] wols_, cpu governor? [12:03] shogoot: copying failed? [12:03] sorry ubotto im really slow [12:03] and this chat windows flying on my 14 '' [12:04] i want to move them to another position [12:04] its hard to follow [12:04] devkhadka: the thing that governs speedstep or cool'n'quiet [12:04] acicula, copying is doing good, it is working fine [12:04] dohomi: right click the channel and tick hide join/part sp,etjomg [12:04] shogoot: ehm then your regional code should be ok i think [12:04] can you open the individual video files in the movie player? [12:05] dohomi: if you are using xchat that is [12:05] #semplice [12:06] Hello Guys. Is there any support for running Ubuntu OS on Android tablets? [12:06] spc_in_plc: not really [12:06] spc_in_plc: nothing specific [12:07] ne1 use icecat? [12:07] ikonia, Ubuntu announced that they're pushing for a Ubuntu Tablet back in January of this year. What happened to those plans? [12:07] spc_in_plc: no idea [12:08] spc_in_plc: not all tablets are created equal, android tablets are almost eclusively arm based [12:08] acicula, do you know what region USA is? i bought a dvd from there you see [12:08] or all are arm even? [12:08] ikonia, damn it would be so useful to have one right now. [12:08] shogoot: you can only change your regional codes a few times [12:08] ikonia: i couldn find unetbootin help. what do i do [12:08] acicula, i know [12:08] dkkd_: unetbootin is just another way of booting the normal installer [12:08] acicula, im gonna rip this and change it back :) [12:09] shogoot: but idk what the region code for usa is, you have to check the dvd for the regional code it requires [12:09] dkkd, What are you trying to do? [12:09] shogoot: but were you able to copy the entire dvd to your harddrive? [12:09] acicula, i did not complete the copying... i aborted [12:10] ikonia: but i am stuck in the install process after boot choosing different partition. i am not so used with partitioninmg [12:10] shogoot: id really test that first, if you can copy all the files then copy protection is not the problem [12:10] to* [12:11] dkkd_: the instructions explain it [12:12] acicula, hmmmm http://pastebin.com/HTXr93et and my dvd is region 1.......... === Granis` is now known as Granis [12:13] it has no code set? [12:13] acicula, the default path to the dvd player is /media/dv0? [12:13] shogoot, /media/dvX [12:13] shogoot: no devices are in /dev [12:13] so probably /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd [12:14] those all point to the same device btw [12:14] Hi [12:14] /media/somename is created by the filebrowser when it opens the dvd [12:16] now its eorking, i directed my dvd palyer to /dev/sr0 its working fine now :) [12:16] what are you using to play dvd's? [12:17] ikonia: i am using usb install for the first time. there is the parttion sda7 already. but when i try it gives not root file sys. what gives? [12:18] my empathy broke down [12:18] my problem is not install and running of skype, its simply not working [12:18] Hello. I have a stupid question about disc space. [12:19] it shows that im available and online, but i cant receive and send mails [12:19] !ask [12:19] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:20] dohomi: when you click the applet what do you see [12:20] I have Natty loaded on a box with a 2TB HDD for media storage and a 1TB HDD for system and text files. [12:21] i see skype running...and after a while nothing happening anymore [12:21] and people see me as offline, but my skype shows online [12:21] The system is saying I only have 235 MB left but I have ober 1TH on one disk and 810 on the other [12:21] skype integrates with the notifier applet? [12:21] I can seem to work out what is going wrong. [12:21] n@acicula [12:22] peri_: can you pastebin the output of df -h [12:22] not sure what do you mean, the notifier on the top right? [12:22] just open a terminal or console, type df -h, select all, right click and copy and put it on pastebin [12:22] I'll try - I'm still learning. so command would be sudo dh - h? [12:22] dohomi: the notifier looks like a mail icon [12:22] i need some help with unetbootin install? [12:22] peri_: df -h [12:23] dkkd_: is using the nonadvanced option and option so the installer will just setup the harddrive for you? [12:23] Thanks. Here is it: [12:23] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [12:23] /dev/sda2 5.6G 5.0G 254M 96% / [12:23] none 1.8G 680K 1.8G 1% /dev [12:23] none 1.8G 436K 1.8G 1% /dev/shm [12:23] none 1.8G 348K 1.8G 1% /var/run [12:23] none 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /var/lock [12:23] peri_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:23] !pastebin | peri_ [12:23] no its just the skype symbol on the top right, like in windows [12:23] peri_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:24] dohomi: ok, so it is not related to the notifier then, its just a problem you have with skype [12:24] Ok. Sorry, still earning. Apologies [12:24] peri_: thats ok, its a common mistake [12:24] peri_: you may have 1Tb of disk space on your drive, but you have only a 5.6Gb partition for ubuntu in use [12:24] yes, i hadnt had the problem with unity desktop, but since gnome classic its working unstable [12:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/633579/ [12:25] acicula: yes i want to install in other drive(partition) than where my windows is installed. i am on step 4 of install whih asks for nonadvanced and adv. how do i proceed? [12:25] peri_: which is why you seem to be running out of space [12:26] dkkd_: the nonadvanced option should resize the existing partition to make room for ubuntu, but you should really read the installation wiki page ikonia linked [12:26] OK. Thanks heaps acicula. [12:26] I am most obliged. How can I fix it? [12:27] peri_: you need a larger root filesystem, id make the / at least 20GB [12:27] Ok. Will I need to reinstall Natty? [12:27] peri_: you can use gparted from a livecd/stick to resize the / most likely [12:27] Dont mind if I have to. [12:27] !resize [12:28] peri_: though reinstalling is quicker then resizing probably [12:28] Can someone help me with iptables? [12:28] acicula: i just have 31 GB on existing partition. will the non advanced partition increase it? which part do i read in the install page ikonia linked? [12:28] is resizing safe? i also need to do it [12:28] Ok. I am learning heaps talking to you. Many thanks. apologies fro the idiot questions. Is it stable to do that - or it is better to reinstall from the beginning? I don't mind doing it. [12:28] dkkd_: do you have an existing free partition? [12:29] ill running a ssd 128 gig and the ubuntu is bit too small [12:29] peri_: well resizing or any disk operation always carries risks, so make backups [12:29] mac_nibblet, Ask your question. [12:29] peri_: but its mostly just slow, reinstalling takes like 20-30minutes [12:30] resizing is slow i mean [12:30] hi! anyone know a good channel for noise reduction questions? [12:30] naxa: electronics or math [12:30] acicula: for image noise reduction? [12:31] acicula: well i will give it a try, thanks :) [12:31] eh image noise reduction? [12:31] acicula: by existing do you mean what is shown using the graphics. dev/sda1(windows) sda5 and sda6 with 78 and 105 gb? is this what you meant? [12:32] dkkd_: i cant tell you if those partitions are free or if you have data on there [12:32] acicula: yes [12:33] acicula: i have this http://people.inf.elte.hu/naknaat/problem.png and it drives me and my applications crazy [12:33] acicula: i know which is free. how do i install there? [12:34] Yup. I think I will reinstall. BTW: I have home, boot root and swap. What sizes do you recommend for each? === ticaozinho is now known as tdutra [12:34] dkkd_: you can right click the partition i think, then you set the filesystem type and the mount point. you need at least one filesystem with / and formatted as ext4. you also need a swap partition [12:35] hello i have a apple airport base station but the i macbook had to connect to it is dead and i cant remember the PW for the base station, so i wonder how i hack it to get my PW back to it? [12:35] Mandrew: nice try [12:35] Amaranth: not ubuntu related. ask apple for tech support [12:35] peri_: boots a bit big , kernels take 10megs or so each and thats all that goes in there, so anything above 200mb is fine. for swap if you want to suspend to disk you want the size of your memory or twice that if you dont have much mem [12:36] Mandrew: ^^ [12:36] my ubuntu distro feels lonely :S [12:37] naxa: you want to get rid of the small dots? [12:37] Thanks Acicula. I have 3.4 GB memory. [12:37] acicula: yes [12:37] wols_, my apple care has run out :( so they dont help me with it, and if i tell them that im running ubuntu now, they hang up on me ;) [12:37] hmm the gimp channel might be a better choice then [12:37] #gimp [12:38] acicula: could you link me to a page on install wiki where this info is given? [12:38] Mandrew: no hacking support here, even if its your old grannys wifi you are tring to fix [12:38] Mandrew: you don't have a ubuntu problem so please stop [12:38] acicula: i will try thanks! [12:38] Hey guys, My mother is looking around for computers and she just needs something for the standard "web browsing, youtube, email, facebook" and I was looking into new computers. I found http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.638451 and wondering if I can get her to use it but I ALWAYS have driver issues with ubuntu that I have to spend hours to fix [12:39] dkkd_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall [12:39] wols_, it a ubuntu problem cuz i cant connect with my ubuntu distro ;) [12:39] Forer: we don't do hardware support [12:39] Forer: #hardware [12:39] Mandrew: stop it already [12:39] Thanks [12:40] cuz = because [12:40] i = I [12:40] acicula: that was precisely what i needed. thanks a ton [12:40] dkkd_: glad i could point you in the right direction [12:41] <__Beta> Someone can help me with a gnome3 issue? [12:41] GNOME 3 and Ubuntu? [12:41] I don't think that is supported yet [12:42] RevSpecies116: it's not [12:42] <__Beta> Yes, added by ppa, clean install [12:42] \j @gnome [12:42] \j #gnome [12:43] other slash [12:43] Lovely :) [12:43] __Beta: try #gnome :) [12:45] Acicula - thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Final question. does the root partition fill up and should I purge it from time to time? [12:46] peri_: /var/ can accumulate data like log files over time, and its also the location where downloaded packages are stored [12:46] so it will increase some [12:48] hi all, when I insert a usb disk I get the message: unable to mount [12:48] Ok. Thanks. Explains a lot. Thanks for your help acicula. Needless to say I learnt a lot tonight and thanks for your patience. [12:48] a window [12:48] why? [12:48] peri_: your welcome [12:49] cloudyLights: what kind of usb disk? [12:49] disk on key [12:50] i dont understand, can you rephrase that or give me a brand/model? [12:50] min... [12:51] hmm [12:51] cloudyLights: What are you unable to mount? [12:52] a usb memory stick [12:52] Ahh, a USB Flash stick :) [12:52] RevSpecies116: lol :D [12:52] mm [12:52] Has it worked in the past, cloudyLights? on a Windows OS? [12:53] when I insert the usb flash stick I see this error window [12:53] I click ok [12:53] lol [12:53] And has that USA stick worked ever since you got it out of the wrapper? [12:53] USA = USB :( [12:54] Hi guys. I'm installing nvidia-current drivers using apt, but there's nothing under /dev/nvidia*. Any suggestions, please? [12:54] I then do dmesg|tail and see it was identified as sdc1 [12:54] I ask that, cloudyLights, so that we don't have to format it and delete things off the stick if we don't need to [12:55] progre55: should there be? [12:55] I mount it as root [12:55] So it looks like you know a little Linux, cloudyLights - that is a good thing :) [12:55] after manually mounting it , it works fine [12:55] I am using xfce4 and gvfs [12:56] is this a permition issue? [12:56] Ahhh, so, cloudyLights - just to confirm the stick is not automatically mounting? [12:56] progre55: also what nvidia card do you have, and is this a headless installation ? [12:56] policykit? [12:56] acicula: I'm not sure, but I cant get python-pyopencl working. I get "clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code" [12:56] using ubuntu 11.04 [12:56] acicula: gtx 275 [12:56] Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't come with xfce though :( [12:57] I installed it [12:57] progre55: is X running? [12:57] What happens if you use Ubuntu proper? [12:57] acicula: i think so [12:57] acicula: umm.. no x, as it's on a server =) [12:58] cloudyLights, i think theres one called xubuntu [12:58] acicula: wanted to set it up for bitcoin mining [12:58] lsmod | grep nvidia does tht show anything? [12:58] OK, what happens cloudyLights is you load Ubuntu proper with no xfce? [12:58] Cube``: what? [12:58] winodws manager issues in gnome [12:59] missning boards [12:59] If you choose 'Ubuntu Classic' at the login screen, for example? does the drive auto mount in Ubuntu proper [12:59] acicula: thats what I get from lsmod "nvidia 10220950 0" [12:59] progre55: i guess it is loaded [12:59] Missing boards, cloudyLights? Like no GNOME panels? [12:59] You may need to load Ubuntu Classic, cloudyLights [13:00] I use startxfce4 -- :1 from shell [13:01] which works [13:01] its just that gvfs issue [13:01] If could be an xfce issue, cloudyLights - that may not be supportedf here, I don't know :( [13:02] progre55: not really sure why your opencl tool fails, but it seems you have the driver module loaded [13:02] OK, cloudyLights - just so I know... Has that USB disk been formatted so a windows machine can see it too [FAT, FAT32, NTFS]? [13:02] YES [13:02] acicula: I probably need to export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH var [13:02] OK :) And just to confirm, cloudyLights, can a windows machine see it OK? [13:02] hi [13:03] yes [13:03] OK, and do you have an Ubuntu liveCD handy, cloudyLights? [13:03] progre55: are you running the script as root? [13:04] acicula: not really.. let me try running it as root.. [13:04] how can I get information about a package I am about to install from console? [13:04] yes [13:04] but min [13:04] I'd like to see version number and description before perform 'install' [13:04] I will be back [13:04] jvargas: apt-cache show [13:05] does anyone know if the ubuntu kernel will support multipath routes by default ? [13:05] jvargas: or apt-cache in general for querying metainformation [13:05] acicula: thank you so much, will give it a try. [13:05] I apologise if it sounds like I am stepping through a script, cloudyLights - but I just don't want to give you wrong instructions [13:05] glontu: multipath as in what protocol? [13:05] Hi guys. Can I apt-get downgrade my firefox to 3.6.x? === engin is now known as enginmanap [13:05] using ip route [13:05] instead of adding just one default route in there [13:06] stix can't you just uninstall it and install 3.6.x? [13:06] stix: you can try, but it's unsupported [13:06] But I would say my next step, cloudyLights, would be to load the computer with the LiveCD, and see if the USB disk mounts from there automatically [13:06] add one with 2 gateways [13:06] never heard of a "downgrade" stix [13:06] ok [13:06] thnaks [13:06] And if it does, cloudyLights, the problem is with XFCE and not with your disk [13:06] rhin0, well other package managers support downgrade [13:06] ok [13:06] got it [13:07] glontu: you can add as many routes as you like. multiple default routes are possible, but slightly complicated to set up. [13:07] glontu: that does not work [13:07] :) Best of luck, cloudyLights [13:07] acicula: why not? [13:07] i am trying to follow this: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html [13:07] down there where they say load balancing === vaasu is now known as Guest77972 [13:08] that is the kind of multipath route i want to add === Guest77972 is now known as wodicck [13:08] no bgp or stuff like that === wodicck is now known as dwossjs [13:08] Hi all [13:08] glontu: you are using two distinct ip addresses and balancing outbound connections between the two [13:09] acicula: yes [13:09] you can do that just fine now? [13:09] hi, i read somewhere that we can use procfs to connect to another host treating the connection as a file, any pointers on this? [13:09] no [13:09] i can only ping my gateway [13:09] stix: You may be able to purge a repo where Firefox was, and uninstall Firefox X.XX and install firefox 3.XX [13:09] but can't go through my gateway [13:09] how to add xchat-irc in top right corner panel in ubuntu-11.04 ? [13:09] acicula: even using root I get "pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code" [13:09] pinging google for example [13:10] stix: What Ubuntu are you running? What FF are you running? What repo did you get your FF from? [13:10] progre55: dunno then, try the nvidia cude/opencl sdk and compile the samples [13:10] glontu: you cant just route, you will need to apply nat [13:10] acicula: i will deal with nat later [13:10] acicula: thanks man, appreciate [13:10] How to install GNOME 3 ? I'm actually on Unity. Thanks [13:10] for now i can'tuse internet on the box itself [13:10] RevSpecies116, I am running Ubuntu 11.04 and FF was auto-upgraded to 5 via the default repos === dustin_ is now known as htmlinprogress [13:11] hi [13:11] the box itself can't go through it's own gateway ( the isp ) [13:11] hi [13:11] PythonSnake: We can help as long as you realise if you gave GNOME3 issues, you will get no further supprt :( [13:11] how do i stream over my network [13:11] i need help with user permissions actually [13:12] stix: i AM SO SORRY - YOU MAY BE STUCK WITH THE LATEST ff IF IT IS FROM THE OFFICIAL REPO :( [13:12] I am also sorry I just shouted [13:12] :( [13:12] Silly Caps-Lock key [13:12] lol [13:12] i have just installed vsftpd [13:12] RevSpecies116: consider remapping it to Control; vastly more useful :-) [13:12] i made a group ftp-users [13:13] sipior: I may just have to do that :) [13:13] and an account "dave" [13:13] i mapped it to /home/website [13:13] but i need to set write access to my folder [13:13] glontu: eh remove all routes and just enable one interface with one default route and see if your internet works again? [13:13] do you have any ideas? [13:14] Does File Manager have less functions than Desktops environment ? [13:14] PythonSnake: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-3-on-Ubuntu-11-04-194085.shtml [13:14] DMKitsch: user dave will need write access to /home/website [13:14] yes [13:14] Just remember PythonSnake That GNOME3 is not currently supported by Canonical or this room [yet] [13:15] any takers? [13:15] And once you go to GNOME 3, it is VERY HARD to return to default 11.04 without a re-install [13:15] RevSpecies116: Thanks a lot. [13:16] DMKitsch, for what ? [13:16] the question i posted above [13:16] I wish you well, PythonSnake - and report back your success :) [13:16] i need to give write permissions to a user [13:17] DMKitsch, i didnt gtet to see it , i just got here [13:17] What is Gnome 3 Shell ? [13:17] ok [13:17] DMKitsch: make dave the owner of the website directoru [13:17] chown will do that [13:18] ok [13:18] PythonSnake: the next gnome DE [13:19] RevSpecies116: actually with ppa-purge its been remarkebly easy for me to switch back and forth [13:19] GNOME Shell is the GNOME Fountations version of Unity [13:19] RevSpecies116: though you have to jump through some hoops here and there [13:19] how do i stream a movie from my house to my moms house ? [13:20] acicula: You mean from GNOME 3 to default Ubuntu 11.04 [13:20] ? [13:20] htmlinprogress: you can do it with vlc [13:20] RevSpecies116: yes [13:20] how to xchat in panel. It disappears when Minimised to tray [13:20] there is too much is occuring on here, i guess it isn't supprising so i am off [13:20] Is GNOME 3 already installed on 11.04? [13:20] how to add xchat in panel. It disappears when Minimised to tray [13:20] you really should stop the joining and leaving thing [13:20] Have we got the purge commands handy acicula - just incase we have a few people wanting to rid themselves of GNOME3? [13:21] PythonSnake: gnome 3 is not supported by the ubuntu project [13:21] DMKitsch: If you use ChatZilla for FireFox, you don't get the joining and leaving things [13:21] I really want them, but Chatzilla removes them automattically [13:21] RevSpecies116: sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3/ [13:22] Thanks acicula :) [13:22] PythonSnake: no [13:22] iceroot, i have tried for a very long while time (2-6 weeks) and tried others ways,,,, im so stuck that i dont know what to do [13:22] hi [13:22] RevSpecies116: its a oneshot deal though, if you fail you have to readd the repo first to be able to purge it. It basically purges the gnome3 packages and pulls the old packages back in, so its not exactly bulletproof [13:23] I thought not, acicula - but all moot by 11.10 :) [13:23] I seem to have stopped rsyslod from writing system logs. It's running, but I get no output. I think I misconfigured the rsyslog.conf file. How would I get the original file back (no I didn't back it up, sorry :( ) [13:23] bobbyd, hi [13:23] PythonSnake: - if you really want GNOME3, I believe it will be default in October with ubuntu [13:23] can I reconfigure the package and get it to overwrite the conf file?

[13:27] any helpers [13:27] i got a security risk at the moment [13:27] DMKitsch: dont put other users in the ftp-group [13:27] DMKitsch: you'll need to set it to use virtual user, define a virtual users list with one users [13:27] DMKitsch: or use the "deny" list option [13:27] ok I fixed it, the conf file was corrupted [13:27] hmm [13:27] Is that OS side, or server side settings, DMKitsch [13:28] it seems to use all users in all groups [13:28] not sure [13:28] DMKitsch: if you really want only one user accessing this data, surely it's better to simply transfer it via scp/ssh/sshfs?

[13:34] GNOME Shell has speed regressions too :) [13:34] I had to get out when I couldn't even start a terminal [13:34] GNOME 3 is more responsive [13:34] did you have any problems with fans in notebooks, after installing ubuntu with unity? [13:35] no [13:35] i'll say this : what I saw of unity it didn't even look finished -- scrappy graphically [13:36] ita w [13:36] also -- the only problams I've seen with ubuntu -- gpu hangups have been caused by unity [13:36] im close to ditching 11.04 [13:36] how tohow to change the buttons of the windows and put them in the right of the box. / [13:36] ?

[13:37] GNOME3 and Mutter are categorically shown to be scientifically more 'slow' than Compiz/Unity :) [13:38] Will GNOME 3 causes me drivers problems or any kind of problems that I don't have on Unity ? [13:38] gnome3 is also a work in progress. :) [13:38] PythonSnake: no [13:38] Unknown, PythonSnake - could be better, could be worse...

[14:28] rhin0, I tried many times. It has to be something else [14:29] biami: google free vpn [14:29] deployment: yes.. you partition disks.. format filesystems on partitions [14:29] biami: and look for one that does not require you to download software [14:29] you can't get your sql shell when you type 'mysql' sql (or whatever?) -- but it says its running koichirose [14:29] when I log into a particular account, the scroll lock button lights up, and keyboard input is different - ie pressing 'p' gives me 8. what settings control this? [14:29] rhin0, exactly. weird right? === mRy is now known as Guest39858 [14:30] yep -- I would rightaway -- reboot the machine -- then see if its turned off start it again (etc) [14:30] if its not in the startup koichirose [14:30] rhin0, it's something with the socket, mysql is up and running.. [14:31] well thats your comms -- unrelated to sql koichirose [14:31] ?

After an upgrade of my GRUB on ubuntu server 10.10, I lost the ability to boot.

[14:44] I'm pretty sure it's because my drives are GPT based [14:44] but I have no idea where to go from here. === Guest77389 is now known as baruchel [14:44] Cognition33: http://www.wensley.org.uk/gpt [14:44] I can t use xbmc neither Desktop Effects cause it says [14:44] koichirose: Okay, lets try this then: sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1 && sudo rm /var/lib/mysql && sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 [14:44] PythonSnake: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.

[15:25] vlt, drwxr-xr-x 2 root root [15:25] RA_drc, i said "no idea" that means i am not aware of any such application. i did not told there is no such application. :-) [15:25] obser: hmmmm ...

[15:27] i've changed the desktop folder in: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, and this works, but some application or service is also recreating the ~/Desktop folder. Any idea how to stop this?

Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [15:32] phux: its a preference, i just like a clean workspace [15:32] sipior - I'm sorry, i missed that. Yes, the test system & linux system are both within the same VLAN [15:33] Faustus2: clean != empty :) [15:33] webg33k: do other connections proceed normally to the test system?

[15:36] Abhijit: so how would you recommend i use find to search the contents of files? [15:36] why didnt the install ask me to set a pass for root? [15:36] !root | Michiellll-lapto [15:36] !sudo | Michiellll-lapto [15:36] Michiellll-lapto: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:36] Michiellll-lapto: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE).

I only have SSH access to the box, as well as a web interface care of turnkey [15:37] Zonetti I can't imagine a way, the only way I can imagine is to copy /etc and maybe some other dirs on a CD-ROM [15:37] webg33k: can you install telnet temporarily on the test machine?

May I edit such marked-changes-files with gedit? I seems one can simply press enter, type in a package name, press tab two times and type in "install". Can I do so or is this dangerous?

[15:58] rhin0: it's not scrolling past, there is simply nothing showing up. and it is plaintext [15:58] kkulhavy, no. i manually changed it to sh .. it was bash before and wasnt working [15:58] captainjamie: #python is more appropriate for programming questions.

[15:59] anev, happened to me 2 days ago, reboot fixed it [15:59] Pici: sudo grep -H -r "ARCH_MXC" [15:59] sipior: then i'll give it a shot, thanks [15:59] kkulhavy: i've tried rebooting - no joy. this is a fresh install too [15:59] the system sounds are working grand though [15:59] anev, in other program sound works? [15:59] kkulhavy: yeah [15:59] could it be a flash problem? [15:59] RA_drc: that means its not there you try for instance cat * in the directory or cat filename.* or cat filename ( | less) and you can see the file contents -- within | less you can also then type forward slash / and it will ask you what to search for so you can check -- you can then type cat filewildcard | grep searchstring [15:59] anev, how u test sound in firefox? === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [16:00] kkulhavy: youtube etc [16:00] anev, so video runs but sound silen?

[16:01] i'm very tied that ubuntu load files in many emacs window [16:01] log files for cron will go through sendmail pobri19 - it emails you with the job status [16:01] kkulhavy: success - it's working again :) [16:01] kkulhavy: reinstalled flash [16:01] anev, how?\ [16:01] anev, LOL [16:01] Question (ubuntu 11.04) when i log into my box, I select Ubuntu Classic and it plays the log in sound. However there is no top or bottom panel and nothing loads. When I hit alt+f2 no run window comes up. I can however ctrl+alt+f2 and reboot. Ubuntu Classic No effects work. Any ideas? [16:01] rhin0: i don't get any emails or anything [16:01] how to tell ubuntu to eopen file in the already opended window ? [16:02] rhin0: and the log i'm referring to is being created by the script [16:02] anev, I find this user unfriendly [16:02] anyone have never been able to create a USB stick with ubuntu that is bootable on a macbook with rEFIt? [16:02] ah -- pobri19 -- I would set up a command to do something else on your system for instance just touch a file -- to check that cron is actually working ... [16:02] kkulhavy, ? [16:02] anev, a message should pop up "Sound has suddenly stopped working. Please reinstallflash to re-enable it again" [16:02] rhin0: okay thanks i'll try that [16:02] rhin0: i'm not sure that the search ever finishes [16:02] kkulhavy: got nothing like that [16:02] any ideas why i cant run cfdisk in ubuntu? [16:03] anev, how should the user determine he has to reinstall flash? [16:03] Why not firefox? kernel? or the whole system? [16:03] RA_drc: will depend on the scale of the search -- try to narrow it down like I said -- by using wildcards and examining files using cat [16:03] Michiellll-lapto, have you tried running it with sudo? [16:03] kla yea [16:03] so I am trying to set a static route and I keep getting SIOCADDRT: No such process [16:03] obser, no idea, I would try strace, but I cannot say what exactly I would do with it [16:04] rhin0: -r means that it will search the files within a folder recursively? [16:04] obser, I would have to sit at the machine and play with it with root privileges [16:04] yes RA_drc [16:04] kla FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap [16:04] rhin0: */1 * * * * touch /home/deploy/lol.tmp [16:04] rhin0: does that look good? === mRy is now known as Guest82289 [16:04] i didnt have this before instlling ubunutu [16:04] ubuntu* [16:05] pobri19: no cron expert not sure what /1 is I thought it was hour minute day month etc whats /1 [16:05] its pretty simple [16:05] rhin0: yeah it worked. so any idea why my script doesnt appear to be working in the cron, but if i copy and paste the command in the cron it works? lol [16:06] well try to run your script manually pobri19 maybe the script is failing -- the script should run from the command line -- if it does and you have tested cron - cron should run it [16:06] rhin0: yeah it works fine when i manually run it [16:06] Michiellll-lapto, is the harddisk without errors? [16:06] but cron doesn't run it -- but cron runs other commands -- no idea really now pobri19 [16:06] Michiellll-lapto, ouch tough one :( - see if the man page has any options to get around that, or maybe fdisk doesn't have the same check [16:07] pobri19: does the script require the GUI (graphical user interface) -- X windows? [16:07] kkulhavy, how do i check without having to reboot? [16:07] rhin0: nah, the weird thing is it also works on my development box which has the same OS. [16:07] you have an obscure one there pobri19 I think [16:07] it'll be something obvious though [16:07] rhin0: yay, lucky me lol [16:08] I would try to look at/get working cron logging -- if cron has failed it will email about it -- get cron to talk to sendmail [16:08] pobri19: [16:08] anyone have never been able to create a USB stick with ubuntu that is bootable on a macbook with rEFIt? [16:08] kkulhavy, http://pastebin.com/gX12ciPp [16:08] rhin0: okay thanks [16:08] Michiellll-lapto, I don't know any method how to check without reboot [16:09] pobri19: How are you editing your crontab?

[16:12] $how to change this ? [16:13] pobri19: crontabs don't have the same $PATH settings as normal user login shells, you might want to try echoing the $PATH to a file from the crontab and ensure that anything that you need to run is actually in there. [16:13] Michiellll-lapto, /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda5 overlap. Not sure if this cannot cause problem. [16:14] ubuntu launch new emacs instance each tile i opened a new file from nautilus or filezilla, how to changes this ? [16:14] Michiellll-lapto, /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda3 as well [16:14] :S [16:14] Michiellll-lapto, /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda3 as well [16:15] Pici: oh that's interesting, maybe you're on to something, i'll try that now! [16:16] kkulhavy, afaik sda3 was never made, all the linux partitions were made by ubuntu install and theres one windows partition en an almost empty ntfs one [16:17] labomedia -- maybe there is a way of launching emacs without a new instance - possibly you will see the emacs launch options using emacs (or whatever the emacs command is) --help [16:17] what is this extended? [16:17] hey guys...if I cancel my subscription to Ubuntu One, will it just drop the 20GB package I bought (currently using 450mb...so I'm in my free quota), or will it drop everything? [16:17] and then a way of launching it with that command option (an action dependent on file association) within ubuntu labomedia [16:18] Monotoko, try in #ubuntuone perhaps [16:18] bazhang, cheers [16:18] rhin0: thanks, i found this : [16:18] how can i see the current opened windows? in order to click on them if needed..is there a task bar in ubuntu unity? [16:18] http://avdi.org/devblog/2010/04/23/daemonic-emacs/ [16:19] Pici: it's only got /usr and /usr/bin, but i'm executing with the full paths i think, so will that even matter? here's the line my cron is supposed to be executing properly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/633684/ [16:19] so thats it labomedia -- it is an option -- now you have to make your file associations launch emacs with that option [16:20] If I use grep -l 'search string' *txt how can I then move the files to a directory? [16:20] pobri19: 'cd' is a shell built-in. You can't run that from a crontab. If you put that in a script and then ran the script, it should work. [16:21] Pici: OH! so it works on my other machine because i'm guessing the path is different on that? [16:22] deucep I would (apart from writing a python script to do it) -- get that command to get a plain list of the files -- then use that [16:22] Pici: thanks for your help, you're awesome :) [16:23] pobri19: Did that fix it? [16:23] deucep: possibly pipe the file list into another command (somehow) [16:23] Pici: not sure yet, i'll have to modify code, but if it doesn't you'll definitely hear from me haha :) [16:23] pobri19: Okay ;) === fairuz is now known as fairuz_ [16:23] rhin0: Ah piping [16:24] or direction not sure which deucep [16:24] deucep | > >> etc [16:27] i use grep -l to get a list of file names that match a certain string how would I pipe that to the move command? [16:28] deucep if you have the list of file names you can easily I think use the mv command with that list [16:29] deucep : hint : learn a bit of python -- stuff like that is incredibly easy with a python script (just a hint) -- bash shell scripting is far more fiddly [16:29] hi, i'm having some trouble using mutt. when i do: echo "test" | mutt -s "subject" my.mail@gmail.com, i get the mail fine; however, doing: echo "test" | mutt -a /home/user/picture.jpg -s "subject" my.mail@gmail.com, displays the error: Can't stat my.mail@gmail.com: No such file or directory, my.mail@gmail.com: unable to attach file. - but the file exists in the path i entered [16:29] if you need a shell script [16:29] rhin0: Ill give python a shot [16:30] (for the record, i'm using ssmtp, and have it configured to use a gmail account created just for this purpose; as i've said, i can said mail without attachments fine) [16:30] rhin0: thanks for the help [16:31] np deucep -- you just need to get that file list out of grep into the mv command [16:31] could even do it I think on one line of bash [16:32] hi guys, im trying to install 11.04 64bit on an HP Z600 but it hangs at the purple screen with the "ubutnu" logo for hours [16:32] any tips? === Jyggaa is now known as Jygga [16:32] PwnusMaximus: If it hangs for 5 minutes it's been too long.

[16:34] Pici: should ./home/deploy/script.sh run it properly? or do i need to do something like: bash /home/deplopy/script.sh [16:34] deucep: something like: grep -l stuff location | xargs -I '{}' mv '{}' destination/ (test with echo in front of mv) [16:35] rhin0: CD [16:35] pobri19: Just the path of the script is fine, you shouldn't need the . in front of that. [16:35] Pici: oh :) [16:35] PwnusMaximus: cds are incredibly slow -- 1st off try to cut a dvd -- prior to that run the "test cd" (test integrity) on the menu option when it boots -- if that fails your cd install won't work [16:36] hello. i have a 10.04 install and would like to ugprade to 11.04. what is the best way? [16:36] C'est nul ici ! [16:36] Pici: exactly what I was looking for [16:36] rhin0: ok thank you. i would try a USB stick but i cant find it in my mess of a desk [16:36] thanks [16:36] usb keys are easiest of all to install off PwnusMaximus if you have a usb-key get the program usb-creator-gtk and just write the image to the usb key -- boot off that -- installs in minutes [16:36] johanna: Salut [16:37] !fr | johanna [16:37] johanna: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[16:45] FarmerMcNugget: Just firefox? No [16:45] Really? [16:45] Shame [16:45] Please keep questions on one line, include all your system information in question, and keep lines shorter that 80 characters. [16:45] Is there a way just to have one thing playing? [16:45] you want to mute ads don't you (and not your whole sound) [16:45] FarmerMcNugget: Although Ubuntu switched the x plus and minux to the left side to make room for apps that could do that. Then they never wrote those apps. Called windowlets [16:46] maybe you could turn flash off or do something with flash settings FarmerMcNugget (not sure) [16:46] Ubuntu should have a sound mixer by now. [16:46] to stop the irritating ads playing [16:46] FarmerMcNugget, start Firefox from xterm and press ctrl-z on the xterm where it was started from? [16:46] * kkulhavy is going to try [16:46] maybe chrome has a feature [16:47] Hi [16:47] Is there anyway to change system tray icon to set pidgin when I click on chat ? [16:47] FarmerMcNugget, sorry, it doesn't mute. Just the sound starts repeating in an endless loop. [16:47] Meh, I just wanna shut these ads up, but I'm watching a video with flash...

It makes it so you have to click on a flash item before it runs. You simply click on the video and not the add. It's a firefox addon [16:48] FarmerMcNugget: IIRC, you should be able to change your per-application sound volumes via your sound preferences tool in Ubuntu.

[16:58] even old old games like those. :) [16:58] RyuGuns, I agree [16:58] :) [16:58] RyuGuns: what game? Steam runs perfectly in Wine, as does TF2 [16:59] ... [16:59] steam may work in wine.. but not all steam games work. [16:59] We shouldn't have to run windows Applications to enjoy gaming. [16:59] dr_willis: all of them that I have do, but I never said that all of them do ;) [16:59] dr_willis, But I thought when you install xp in vbox it users drivers from the installation? [16:59] We should be able to enjoy games like Windows users. [16:59] dean, virtualbox emulates a video card.. [17:00] RyuGuns, I agree its frustrating [17:00] dean, theres some 3d support in vbox.. but its limited to special cases i belive [17:00] Any advice on Ubuntu halting before it loads the GUI? TTY mode works. [17:00] RyuGuns: Well then tell game developers to start releasing linux versions of their games [17:00] dr_willis, Oh I see wine is very hard to configure to get things working?

[17:11] dean, you can proberly just copy the installed game from your windows drive to your users home dir.. and use wine directly [17:11] dean, I dont use PlayOnlinux. check its help docs. [17:11] dr_willis, thanks anyway [17:11] copy game to game dir.. wine game/whatever/gamename.exe <--------------- works for most games [17:12] dr_willis: I can't do anything atm. Only have a out of range error. [17:12] or install it with wine so you get an icon. [17:12] dr_willis: Grub doesn't doesn't show up either. [17:12] FSX, You said everything worked after it boots... edit the file after you get tio the desktop [17:13] grub is trying to display a fancy menu on a res that your monitor dosent like. [17:13] the GDM login screen works? [17:13] dr_willis: That was before today. [17:13] Ubuntu 11 hangs on "Stopping Userspace Bootsplash" anything I can do about this? (w3m Google isn't being very helpful) [17:13] dr_willis: I'll make a bootable USB and see if I can edit stuff. [17:14] FSX, so the system fails to boot at all then? You said it did work earlier... [17:14] FSX, you may want to try to get ssh installed on the system. that way you can ssh in, and try to fix things remotely. makes it a bit easier. [17:14] hello, i am a new ubuntu use, i am trying to use ubuntu on my bitcoin mining rig.... I am in ubuntu and follow instructions to install all the stuff I need, and Im having a slight mental "mis-step" while tyring to figure this out... ... Next, you’ll attempt to build your proprietary drivers. You need to download ati-driver-installer-11-3-x86.x86_64.run from AMD’s Support site. Go back to your terminal window, and navigate to the [17:14] ugh Bitcoin [17:14] dr_willis: It suddenly shutdown and now the display only shows an out of range error.

But I'll try ssh. [17:15] I am using ubuntu-arm in my beagleboard, but I could not figure out how to connect to any SSID, can some one please help me with it? [17:15] dr_willis: repos? already installled? [17:15] JamesBoo_, the default ati drivers that are included with the os. in the package manager tools.. run 'jockey-gtk' and see what it suggests [17:15] i downloaded the file to downloads... how do i navigate that file? [17:16] JamesBoo_, forget about using the ones you downloaded.. try the ones from the repos first. [17:16] run jockey-gtk - and see if it will izntall them for you [17:17] ok, so instead of running that file, i should just run jockey-gtk ... This is the link to what Im trying to do... Im on the step where it says to run the drivers i downloaded from ATI http://foreverrising.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/bitcoin-mining-and-ubuntu-10-10-ati-radeon-5xxx/ [17:17] Which is the best MTA - postfix or exim?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:17] JamesBoo_, those directions could break your system . what if those drivers are not supporting your card.... [17:17] but they are supporting my card, i got them from the manufacturer.,... [17:17] I would be suspect of the rest of the directions as well. [17:17] If i hit ctrl + alt + f2 to drop out to a console. What do I hit to return to the same X session? [17:18] anways, i just ran jocket-gtk and it says no proprietary drivers are installed [17:18] JamesBoo_, ati drivers dont support ALL ati cards.. they are constantly phaseing out support for older chipsets.. what is your exact chipset? [17:18] and newer chipsets may or may not work with ubuntu and the latest ati drivers. [17:18] chipset ont he card? [17:19] why wont you just tell me the file path wher ei downloaded the drivers? [17:19] I downloaded the drivers....Go back to your terminal window, and navigate to the directory where you downloaded that package. cd [path to download directory] Then run the file. [17:19] JamesBoo_, if you really want to install the .run drivers. you should read up on shell fundamentals. you basically 'cd Directorywheredriversareat' then 'sudo sh ./thed4riversname.run' [17:19] JamesBoo_, yes. thats rather basic bash ussage.. [17:19] i know, but ive never uised ubuntu, what "Directorywheredriverareat" === donuts is now known as dunas [17:19] I dont think you can install the drivers while X is running either.. you may need to do this from the cosnole [17:20] JamesBoo_, where are they at? [17:20] Not taking a poll... just wondering which one I should install. Surely some have experiences with either one or both, and could tell me which the prefered. [17:20] You downloaded and put them somewhere... [17:20] i dont know, they are in "downloads" === MorphyNO1 is now known as MorphyNOR [17:20] im getting the error "could not update ICEauthority file /home/myuser/.ICEauthority" when trying to login. ive googled it and people are saying it's a permissions issue. ive tried correcting every set of permissions people have suggested but still nothing works... does anyone have any insight in to this? [17:20] JamesBoo_, so you just answred the question. :) and CASE is imporjntant in linux.. its 'Downloads' not 'downloads' [17:20] dr_willis: so is spelling ;) [17:20] I downloaded the file ati-driver-installer-11-3-x86.x86_64.run and its in file "Downloads" Ive [17:21] so just cd Downloads [17:21] ? [17:21] JamesBoo_, try it and see... [17:21] also.. cold anyone tell me how to create a user through the command line so that i can autologin as them through gnome? [17:21] :) [17:21] autlogin is a gnom/gdm setting. You would have to use the gdm config tools . or edit the gdm config files to autologin the new user. [17:22] dr_willis: it says sh: Cant open the "ati.driver... [17:22] how do i see all the open windows on ubunutu unity, like we had a task bar in gnome?! [17:23] adduser billgates -> then edit some file i cant find... [17:23] dr_willis, i can do that, but if i create a new user with 'adduser' it doesnt create the .ICEauthority file, so i get the same error msg when trying to login as that new user [17:23] JamesBoo_, you did spell it correctly? proper case and so forth. [17:23] johnetomat, thats odd.. i use adduser all the time.. and they can always login via X. [17:24] johnetomat, the newly added user does have a /home/USERNAME directory? [17:24] dr_willis, yeah, they get a home directory [17:25] but they dont get a .ICEauthority file, so i still get the "could not update ICEauthority file ..." error msg [17:25] my .ICEauthority is -> /home/willis/.ICEauthority [17:25] willis@Cowbuntu:~$ ls -al .ICEauthority [17:25] -rw------- 1 willis willis 1630 2011-06-24 07:31 .ICEauthority [17:25] do they have the file? whats its permissions?

[17:54] xmd: that isn't a problem :) [17:54] IdleOne: I have booted ubuntu successfully from my external hard drive [17:54] xmd you said you are running ubuntu off the flash drive -- you say its running out of space -- then you say 250gb flash drive -- so that really is not the issue -- then I tell you you need to get ubuntu to boot from the external drive -- and you are ignoring me [17:54] yea, i just dont have any disc space [17:54] it wont let me install drivers and programs [17:54] xmd your setup is atypical [17:55] I alreadu have it booting from the external drive! [17:55] how do I find out which MTA my ubuntu server is using? [17:55] a 250gb flash drive? you mean an external Usb hard disk ? [17:55] xmd: ok so you are using the external HDD as a live USB? [17:55] can't be a 250gb flash drive they are rare and extremely expensive [17:55] IdleOne: exactly [17:55] eens [17:55] xmd, how did you install to this drive? [17:56] IdleOne: I am in ubuntu now, it works great, but it says i have no disc space [17:56] i used the universal USB installer [17:56] how do I find out which MTA my ubuntu server is using? [17:56] xmd in a bash shell type df and pastebin the results [17:56] xmd, you told it to make a persistant 'save' file? [17:56] xmd: sounds like you mounted the disk in read only mode. Did you use the boot now feature from the startup or did you actually run through the install to the usb disk. [17:57] xmd, this is the universial usb installer from the Pendrivelinux web site? [17:57] ok scrub that xmd -- you may have mounted it read-only [17:58] arnpro: quickest is just "telnet 25". most MTAs introduce themselves. === Granis` is now known as Granis [17:58] arnpro: or just figure out which package you've got installed. [17:59] sounds like xmd either did not make a persistant save file. or it has finally filled up. [18:01] dr_willis: I might be wrong but unless the drive was already partitioned before creating the USB boot wouldn't the entire 250GB be mounted when he boots? [18:02] IdleOne, if he did one of the tools like unetbootin.. it made a live-cd type insatll. and a persistant save file.. using the vfat filesystem. [18:02] the rest of the 250 could be accessed. but not as a linux partition... [18:02] but we seem to be getting ignored now. :) [18:03] sudo fdisk -l output would clarify a lot of things. [18:03] sipior: nothing comes up when telnet. I need to know which MTA I got because I did mail in command line and I got the email but with a unknown sender... [18:03] dr_willis: i believe he has left the building :-) [18:04] dr_willis if he'd have stuck with it and not lost his temper and blown off he may have got it solved pretty quickly [18:04] if he had done a 'normal' install to the usb hd... (like i am using now) he would be able to use all the hd as if it was an internal hd. [18:04] but people dont want to 'learn' these days.. :() [18:04] hopefully he will be back. Next! [18:05] hi, i'm currently facing a boot issue, the pc restarts after loading the ramdisk with the latest ubuntu. Can this be grub related or do I have to try to regenerate that ramdisk in some way that it works? [18:05] ramdisk? you mean the initrd ? [18:05] yes [18:06] Hmm.. never had an initrd issue [18:06] arnpro: try grepping through the output of dpkg -l, or just see if you have a /etc/postfix directory. [18:06] !initrd [18:07] Hello! I'm having a very elusive problem/bug that I thought I'd check with you if you know what it is, to give me a clue as to the solution. [18:07] I'm running a graphical program, that uses OpenGL for drawing in a window using Java and I'm getting the following error for this one application: [18:07] java: ../../src/xcb_io.c:140: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `req == dpy->xcb->pending_requests' failed. [18:07] Any clues? === dvgsvc is now known as adv_ [18:08] dr_willis: me neither but with this one computer i got that problem... once i run the update-grub2 command the thing stops booting [18:08] running apt-get gives me a lot of Ign lines. As i found, this means nothing has changed since i last checked. doesnt it mean, that after an apt-get update |apt-get upgrade there should be just Ign lines? or do i get something wrong? [18:08] Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with Flash under 64-bit ubuntu in Firefox [18:08] you're right sipior, I got postfix, but I'd need to configure it, right? because I just bought the server ... and it has no plesk or cpanel, just the ubuntu 10.04 [18:09] arnpro: yes, you'd definitely need to configure it properly. [18:09] Where is the PATH set? [18:09] arnpro: have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [18:09] Does anyone have a clue what "java: ../../src/xcb_io.c:140: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `req == dpy->xcb->pending_requests' failed." implies? [18:10] will do, thanks sipior [18:10] habeeb I think there is a firefox extension specifically for 64 bit flash [18:11] hello again, can anyone help me with my disc space issue? [18:11] yep [18:11] ( i got disconnected) [18:11] sipior: is it possible to have a custom config per virtualhost?? [18:11] It seems the problem appears in many places in 11.04 - spotify, cheese and other apps that are graphical. [18:11] how do I connect to a open essid using /etc/network/interfaces, can anyone please help I am really stuck with it? [18:11] you can't scroll back -- because some people here posted the answer for you xdm [18:11] XDM_, if you did a 'live' cd type insatll to a hard drive. it should have made a 'persistant save file' - that file could be getting filled up. [18:12] because it is asking me to set up a root account, but I'll have multiple sites in my server.... sipior [18:12] XDM_, you used the Universial USB installer tool from the 'pendrivelinux' web site? [18:12] dr_willis: Im not sure if I did a "live" cd, but I think I am running ubuntu "live" [18:12] dr_willis : yes i think so [18:12] arnpro: sorry, what's asking you to set up a root account? [18:13] so what do I do to get ubuntu to recognize my entire 250GB external hard drive [18:13] XDM_, that method is normally used for smaller flash drives like 4-16gb. with a small (a few gb) persistant save file. I think the max save file it can use is 4gb normally [18:13] XDM_, the BEST solution would be for you to do a 'normal' install to that external usb hd. as if it was an internal hd. [18:13] alternatively you can resize the save file. but ive only done that once.. [18:14] the live-setup with save file - can have other quirks. but its great for small flash drives and speficic cases. [18:14] sipior: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix, What I want to have is 2 email per site I got hosted... for example email@site1.com and email@site2.com [18:14] yes i have been trying... but it gives me this error when i try to install it to the external hard drive....No root file system defined [18:14] arnpro: sure, that's not a problem. the documentation is pretty thorough. [18:14] You are installing from the external hd to the same external hd? [18:15] what would I need to implement in order to accomplish that? sipior, postfix+ldap? or something? [18:15] why wont it let me install ubuntu to the external drive I am running live from [18:15] XDM_, when doing that instasll you need to make some partitions and define one to be the '/' partition, and one to be a swap partition. the easy route would be for you to burn a cd. and boot the cd. and insatll from taht to the hard drive [18:15] XDM_, because it will want to resize the partitons that are IN USE... [18:16] arnpro: how about reading through that link i gave you :-) [18:16] XDM_, if you partiton the hd with a live cd. that may be doable.. but thats getting very weird way of doing an inzstall [18:16] yea this is getting complicated [18:17] dr_willis: could i boot ubuntu from another USB drive, and then install it to the external HDD? [18:17] XDM_, its because of the way you installed it.. the normal way is boot a cd, or flash drive. and isntall to the other location [18:17] XDM_, you can do that.. thats exactly how i normally do it. [18:17] hello [18:17] boot a live-flash drive i have tweaked.. install to my real hard drive. [18:18] hello everyone - how can i edit windows ntfs permissions with ubuntu? [18:18] I have a multi-iso flash drive setup that lets me boot Kubuntu, ubuntu, lubuntu, or others.. i can then install whatever one i want to what pc i want. [18:18] themexbob, you set them when you mount the drive normally. [18:18] !info ntfs-config [18:18] ntfs-config (source: ntfs-config): Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-9 (natty), package size 89 kB, installed size 900 kB [18:19] themexbob, the ntfs-config tool can tweak them a bit. or you make a fstab entry that defines exactly how you want it done. [18:20] dr_willis: so if i boot from a different USB flash drive, my big 250GB drive will be free and ubuntu will let me use it as the HDD ? [18:20] dr_willis: is ubuntu going to recognize the external USB HDD as a HDD if im not using it as a LIve drive [18:21] Hi [18:22] XDM_, it can repartiton and use the usb as a real hd.. thats EXACTLY how i am running this sytem right now [18:22] it can be a little quirky in ways.. I have to be SURE to tell GRUB to install to the MBR of the usb hd.. and i have to tell the BIOS to boot the usb hd when i bootup. [18:22] can u get the path of zmodem source in ubuntu? [18:22] XDM_, you can tell the installer to use all of the disk.. and it should auto partito9n it as needed. [18:23] Dr_willis: I am not following you, which installer are you referring rto? [18:23] XDM_, the normal ubuntu installer... [18:23] not the universial installer.. that one only does live-setups [18:23] hello everyone. I don't like the mozilla 5 thats in the latest ubuntu release. Can someone please tell me how to downgrade to version 4?? TIA! [18:23] i dont knwo what you are talking not [18:23] anyone know what file contains the command that loads the iptables config at boot? [18:24] boot flash drive.. get to ubuntu desktop.. run the installer... [18:24] can u get the path of zmodem source in ubuntu? [18:24] hello [18:24] from Chuck [18:24] or use the 'install' menu item when you bootup. [18:24] How can I close all programs that use a certain port? [18:24] dr_willis: i now have no idea what you are talkinbg aout [18:24] i am about to now boot my mahince from a second, smaller USB drive with Ubuntu one it [18:25] and then it shoudl allow me to install it to the external HDD since I wont be using the external USB HDD as the live device [18:25] ? [18:25] how i view all the open windows on ubuntu unity, like the task bars in gnome? [18:25] i have a rfid reader that's connected as a serial interface on /dev/ttyUSB0.. i want to convert what's read in as keyboard input.. kind of like a barcode scanner works.. how can i do this? [18:25] XDM_, yes. thats how i always install. [18:26] ok, so you are confusing me with the other stuff.... [18:26] i said earlier -> XDM_, you can do that.. thats exactly how i normally do it. [18:26] where can i find ubuntu source code including the kernel? [18:26] boot little flash.. install to big hd.. [18:27] !source [18:27] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [18:27] does anybody know why chromium doesn't show flash any more? chromium shall have flash build in [18:28] and how do i build it?

[18:29] olx69, the built in flash i thought was enabled by an optional keyword option when you started the app. [18:29] or was that in google-chrome [18:29] @genni :no , I basically want to try and build ubuntu from the source code [18:29] !kernel | NewbieToKernel [18:29] NewbieToKernel: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [18:30] dr_willis, i believe it's embedded [18:30] i dont want to compile the kernel [18:30] NewbieToKernel, you should proberly learn some linux fundamentals first.

[18:31] sry, I thought thta no flash was relatedto ubuntu build, but isn't. D/L from google shows the same [18:31] can anyone help me? why is it aborting? ~/Desktop/driver$ unshield x data1.cab [18:32] anyway what specifically do you not like about it?

[18:33] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/use-google-chrome-built-in-flash-in.html [18:33] so what apart from the linux kernel constitutes ubuntu?

[18:36] so what all constitutes the "ubuntu" flavour? and how do i get the source code for all those? for example ubuntu has a distinctive desktop. Where do i get the sources of that and build it? [18:36] NewbieToKernel, you use the pacakge manger tools to get the source from the repositories. [18:36] mint has its own repos.. and specilized source packages for their changes [18:36] and so on. === ahaha is now known as _kalle_ [18:37] And so on. === GoogleApparently is now known as jmad980 [18:37] the offical ubuntu variants all use the same repos.

Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [18:56] hi, using recordmydesktop i run into the problem that the background will not redraw (only in the video) when closing a window (so even it was closed u can see it in the recording) what can i do? [18:57] tjk11, in a terminal type "man unshield" [18:57] tjk11: a page made of men [18:57] Hi. I'm trying to remount my flash drive so I can run Linux binaries stored on it (I use it thold my source code) and sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush /dev/sdb1 /media/FD doesn't apply the execute bits. What's going on? Thanks [18:57] ok thanks [18:57] It did work before 11.04 [18:57] coz_: usually is a gui crash [18:57] tjk11: :) actualy is a "manual" page. with instructions on how to use a perticular program [18:58] thanks im new to terminal [18:58] tjk11: for example "man cd" would invoke the "MANual" for the command "CD" and tell you all about it. (CD stands for Change Directroy btw) [18:58] el_ruso, then not sure ,,, I dont use open office at all,, I will back off from this one,, it may be openoffice if the printer works with other applications , and being an HP I would assume it is or should be working [18:58] actually some commands are 'built in' to bash or other shells and may not have a man page.. :) [18:58] ok that makes sense thank you! [18:59] PwnusMaximus, cd is a bash builtin there is no man page. the best example is man man [18:59] man cd -> bad example.... man ls --> good example [18:59] :) [18:59] that's what i think coz_ [18:59] Help, I wrote a guide where I explained what to do to get a package called LCMS version 2 from a ppa called dasprid, the command is "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dasprid/rawtherapee && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install liblcms2-dev". I tested and it works fine in Ubuntu 11.04. Do I need to change anything for it to work in 10.04? [18:59] tjk11: to learn more about MAN, type "man man" [18:59] man man -> seems just weird.. [18:59] thank you coz_ [18:59] escott: really? i thought there was.. [18:59] escott: my bad [18:59] man more that way you learn about the man pager.. more.. and what keys it uses.. [19:00] DrSlony: one thing I'd check is dependencies [19:00] ot was is it 'less' these days.. [19:00] el_ruso, open a terminal,, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <-- that will update everything ,, see if there is an office update during that [19:00] DrSlony: I don't know if 10.04 have "add-apt-repository" -- I can't remember it. :( [19:00] hi [19:00] good idea coz_ [19:01] DrSlony: You want to install 10.04 on VBox -- Test it from there -- Yourself.

This is not a case of undelete, the file does exist, just with no content anymore [20:35] escott: urg. testdisk wants to work with the raw device, not the image of the device I took... [20:35] mbeierl, its the same principle though. finding file chains and joining them together. you could use dd to image the disk, loop mount it, and then delete the file, and then see if undelete can get it back [20:35] I'm trying to make use of what little bandwidth (11MB/s) I have over Ethernet.

[21:25] omg why do people write such terrible, buggy software [21:25] attempting to rip and encode using k9copy [21:25] I'm afraid I'll have too boot my macbook in stead [21:26] rypervenche: so not I begin to be worry, both programs are installed, but not available when try to add to the panel [21:26] buggy just means it has character [21:26] or it means total nonfunctioning failure [21:26] rypervenche, cool. yes I see that now. Is there some other command that does all three for me i.e., update && upgrade && dist-upgrade ? [21:27] anyone have other tips for convenient ripping+encoding of dvd's? [21:27] does devede do that? [21:27] Chaser: No, just do all 3. I have made an alias that does that as well as removes old packages, removes orphans, and purges all programs that have left their configuration files behind. [21:28] iivvoo, if t breaks you get to keep both pieces also [21:28] t/it [21:28] rypervenche, ok. Thanks for the help. [21:28] is anyone familiar with picard?

[21:30] hi guys, quick question: how can i run gnome-screensaver-command from the virtual terminal? i.e. ctrl+alt+f1 [21:31] Hi, I need to edit a .fla file as a text file to modify some settings, but gedit can't open it. How can I open this as text file? [21:31] !dvd::rip | iivvoo [21:31] !info dvd::rip | iivvoo [21:31] Finw3: Use another text editor, there are many out there. nano and vim are good editors that you can use in a terminal. [21:31] iivvoo: dvdrip (source: dvdrip): perl front end for transcode and ffmpeg. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.11-0ubuntu3 (natty), package size 1319 kB, installed size 2952 kB [21:32] rypervenche ok I will try, thank you very much :-) [21:32] lemming: it may work if you specify the DISPLAY, such as: DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-screensaver-command --lock; === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [21:32] trism: tried that, doesnt work unfortunately [21:33] If I never set up a root user password (the OS root), where would I find root's .mysql_history file?

[21:35] as far as the mysql file what are you lookinf for exactly [21:36] Nobgul-bnc, someone is about to start work on a box. My password is in a grant statement issued by mysql's root. I'd like to delete just that one command from the file [21:36] lemming: did the session lock up on you? that may be why it isn't working (seems to work here). may also be the wrong DISPLAY [21:36] craigbass1976, ah got ya 1 sec [21:37] hrmm. [21:37] trism: currently not. its my sisters laptop and sometimes the screensaver freezes and she cannot unlock it. tried locking it as a test [21:37] Nobgul-bnc, forget it. I just found it in my own home directory [21:37] That's odd... [21:37] The default path for the mysql history file is $HOME/.mysql_history . [21:37] Nobgul-bnc, and it's owned by root [21:37] ^^ [21:37] you beat me to it lol [21:37] hello [21:37] so sudo pico file [21:38] I recently had my monitor replaced on my laptop and the screen is now has a bright white tinge to it and the text is a bit unclear. How can I ensure this is a hardware issue and not a software one? Ubuntu 10.10 [21:38] 99% sure hardware [21:39] Jon--: Try it on another computer. [21:39] Jon--: Or run it using a live CD of a different distro. [21:39] rypervenche, It's a laptop [21:39] I would say hardware as well. But if you want to double check you could run a linux distro off cd a live cd and see if it happnens [21:39] Nobgul-bnc, now what happens when they set up their own user account? Does it still write to /home/me/.mysql_history, or /home/them/.mysql_history ? [21:39] rypervenche, I'll try a livecd [21:39] rypervenche, copy cat =P [21:40] Nobgul-bnc: Great minds think alike :) [21:40] them craigbass1976 [21:40] rypervenche, too true [21:40] bye [21:40] Nobgul-bnc, MMMM-kay. [21:40] trism: okay, had an idea. a simple kill works [21:41] I have a problem with boot time mount of multiple NFS filesystems on Ubuntu 11.04. It mounts the first NFS filesystem and the mount defuncts before getting to mount the second one. [21:41] lemming: what did you kill? [21:41] If I mount them by hand, it works. [21:41] I thought dvd::rip was some obscure perl module but it looks good so far..

[21:50] PythonSnake, where ever you put it so if the file is at /home/python/file.zip it will extract there. so you need to move the file to the /usr/share/themes/ then extract it [21:50] jjovereats, i have no idea what program your using.

[22:43] coz_ , http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/ [22:43] Flash_Jordan, ah ok [22:43] I don't need hardware acceleration on this [22:44] Imagine zooming web page; I want to "zoom" 1024x600 xorg onto 800x480 screen [22:44] sweetest, out of curiosity,, what is the read out of this command glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE ? [22:44] have a gateway 560GE (got it for free from a friend) and am gonna (hopefully) get windows 7 on it, and then play some WoW cata private servers like i do on my laptop! [22:44] NERD FEST NERD FEST [22:45] What are the differences for wubi and the full install with the partioning? [22:45] AlphaPsi, not sure,, I have never used wubi [22:45] I don't have linux right now at the device we're talking about [22:45] Flash_Jordan: you're in a linux chatroom, "NERD FEST " is a given [22:45] sweetest, ah ok [22:45] AlphaPsi: Wubi creates a virtual partition on your windows partition. It is not a real installation. [22:45] what it's supposed to show? I'm not fluent in glxinfo output :-) [22:46] sweetest, copy th at command ,, that will tell you the video card's hardware limitationi for resolution [22:46] AlphaPsi, wubi installs ubuntu as a file inside ntfs. so its slower, and a bit less stable, but easier to remove [22:46] i dont believe there is one, but i still dotnt use wubi, i like going through the install and partitioning there because i know it works! [22:46] calling jahman [22:47] How would you uninstall the partitioning of ubuntu if I did a full install? [22:47] AlphaPsi: you mean remove ubuntu? [22:47] AlphaPsi: Why would you unistall the partitioning if Ubuntu was installed> [22:47] sweetest, ill bet xnest can do what you want. its even possible that xorg does larger virtual than physical without panning, but its and odd thing to want [22:47] Yeah removing ubuntu [22:48] AlphaPsi: just do a full install and select "erase the entire disk" [22:48] uhh [22:48] What exactly are you trying to do? [22:48] xnest, let me see :-) [22:48] AlphaPsi: or do you want to keep files/a windows installation? [22:48] it's odd thing, yes - want to try using phone as replacement for netbook :-) [22:48] AlphaPsi, you could use gparted to repartition over the ubuntu partitions, and make them into ntfs for windows or expand the adjacent partitions [22:48] AlphaPsi: I would boot a live CD and erase the partitions using gparted. Then there is some command fixmbr that you run on window to get the bootloader back [22:49] AlphaPsi, if you just want to try it out I would use a live usb [22:50] AlphaPsi: Yeah, don't install until you're sure [22:50] I agree with escott, just try it out with a livecd or liveusb. [22:50] holy cow, I didn't realize how awesome Skype in Ubuntu is now, I wish they had open chat rooms like IRC, but where you could just skype right in [22:50] AlphaPsi: i agree with them [22:50] if xnest works, I guess I can try it now [22:50] AlphaPsi, the cds are slower, and can't preserve data over reboots, but a large usb stick (a couple gigs) will allow you to keep files and install additional programs [22:50] because it should work everywhere, heh [22:51] I tried it over the boot [22:51] using a usb [22:51] but I feel like I want to do an install but not sure either with wubi or full [22:51] AlphaPsi: Don't use wubi. [22:51] Something seems to be intercepting the ctrl-alt-b key sequence, is there a way to find out what is doing that? [22:51] Just do the full. [22:51] AlphaPsi, almost nobody will recommend wubi [22:51] AlphaPsi: I have Ubuntu on a 4gb USB, and its my portable ubuntu [22:51] AlphaPsi: Full install is less dangerous and easier to configure than wubi [22:52] easier to configure? [22:52] AlphaPsi: wubi installs are slow and dont give you the feel of the OS. a live CD is better [22:52] have a question about the rdesktop brute force patch: How i make it work? [22:52] I keep getting Retrieved connection termination packet. Retrieved connection termination packet. [error] User "ADMINISTRATOR" Password "". Connection terminated due to unknown error. [22:52] How do I brute force RDP passwords with the rdesktop brute force .diff file [22:52] 'm using rdp-brute-force-r805.diff and rdesktop-1.5.0 from sourceforge [22:52] come on I want to break into a server! [22:53] j/k [22:53] How would I remove the full install if I wanted to? [22:53] from a partition [22:53] Hi I switched from unity to GNOME 3 now when I try to run a game it shows Failed to execute child process "TeeWorlds"(no such file or directory) error [22:53] if the full install's hard drive is hda1, type dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/zero [22:53] AlphaPsi: just remove the partitions and resize the windows partition later [22:53] This will start the Ubuntu uninstall process [22:54] PythonSnake: GNOME3 is not included in Ubuntu, and is thus not supported here. [22:54] oh windows [22:54] perme: haha [22:54] just type dd if=/dev/hdc1 of=/dev/zero for example if sdc5 was your linux partition === MadSweeney is now known as Guest26746 [22:58] anybody using Gnome3 on Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity? [22:58] err [22:58] first it't not channel for black hat hacking, second good luck with bruteforcing over internet [22:58] I can just format/remove the parittion that contains ubuntu?? [22:58] And it'll leave without a trace/ [22:58] ?* [22:58] AlphaPsi: it's not all that hard to remove if you understand how partitions and bootloaders work. if you get the basics you should be able to do it in a few minutes to an hour [22:58] ok I'm not brute forcing at all, I just wanted to try compiling the program and making it work against my own machine [22:58] I just want to get it to work th at's all [22:58] wiggmpk, yes [22:58] anyone know if i can futhur reduce mouse sensitivity and acceleration beyond 0? (it is still too fast at 0) [22:58] AlphaPsi, it should be wiped that way ...yes [22:58] spc_in_plc: im running x64 with nvidia drivers.. you running into any issues? any conflicts after install? [22:58] bluezone, try xinput [22:58] AlphaPsi: pretty much. you'll have to resize your windows partition again if you shrunk it to make room for ubuntu, and you'll have to reinstall the windows bootloader, but windows does that second part pretty easily [22:58] I have a Intel 865g video card that doesnt seem to play nicely with ubuntu. Any suggetions on running live CD? [22:58] What do you mean I would have to install the windows bootloader again? [22:58] oscurochu, you may want to use the minimal install cd to install it [22:58] how can I make one upstart script start before another? do I just put it in the Required-Start list? [22:58] wiggmpk, first time I installed it, it gave me an error in logging in. But after I rebooted the second time, it's worked fine. [22:58] oscurochu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:58] coz_: i wouldnt wanna waste my time. if the CD doesnt work, then what makes you certain it will work once its installed? [22:58] spc_in_plc: im reading mixed results online, and I really really wanna give it a try.. But I would like Unity to stay as in for now, until I more comfortable with gnome3 and slowly disable redudant unity features [22:58] oscurochu, cant be sure,, you say the live cd doesnt work>? [22:58] i installed ubuntu 11.04. I assumed the firewall was active to start - it doesn't seem to be. [22:58] AlphaPsi: windows bootloader will only boot windows... so when you install ubuntu, you get grub (usually) but that erases the windows bootloader (but grub will boot windows too, so it's okay) but if you remove ubuntu, you remove grub, so you have to fix the windows bootloader [22:58] I installed sshd and posgresql and I was able to get to them without and fw change [22:58] oscurochu, the minimal install cd is not a live cd it is a text install and only 19 megs [22:58] wiggmpk, you can restore unity with "purge ppa" [22:58] hello [22:58] oscurochu, it downloads the system from the net [22:58] from remote [22:59] AlphaPsi: * actually it doesnt _erase_ the windows bootloader, it just changes the config a little. but it'll fix itself pretty easily (almost automatic) === ethernet- is now known as ethern0T [22:59] the live CD boots, but its unusable because the video card doesnt wanna play nice. if you click on a menu, it appears for a second, and the entire menu turns black. the splash screen shows up on the desktop (as if it had trouble transitioning). [22:59] How would I fix the windows bootloader if I did that [22:59] I then installed ufw and then they were blocked [22:59] Oh okay [22:59] spc_in_plc: right, I understand that, but what I'm asking, will unity work with gnome3 without issue? [22:59] So I dont really have to worry about it? [22:59] I then made rules to allow them again [22:59] escott: can't find the option I need with xnest, you sure it can do it? [22:59] wiggmpk, Nope. the unity-shell won't work anymore. [22:59] coz_: i dont care how it installs the system, i need to know how to get it working. the minimal install CD will only get it installed, not get it working. [22:59] spc_in_plc: k thanks =) [23:00] why isn't a firewall on by default? or have active block all rules? [23:00] m are ready for spme linux [23:00] oscurochu, are you on linux right now? [23:00] wiggmpk, no problem. [23:00] coz_: before i go that route, i need to figure out how to get it working on the CD, even if that means typing in commands in the terminal [23:00] AlphaPsi: when you booted up after removing ubuntu, windows would fail to start (then tell you it failed to start) then it'll ask if you want to repair the bootloader, say yes and it'll fix it. almost automatic, just have to tell it "yes" [23:00] AlphaPsi, a windows rescue cd (can be downloaded online) will allow you to reinstall the windows bootloader. you could also create a small boot partition at the front of the disk and keep grub but remove the ubuntu root partition [23:00] coz_ i could be. [23:00] oscurochu, well I just want to know the exact intel chipset with lspci | grep -i vga [23:01] I also had/have a small problem with ubuntu when I tried it [23:01] escott: you're gonna confuse him. i'm pretty sure windows will fix it without the rescue cd anyway [23:01] All the text was too small [23:01] and I couldn't read it [23:01] coz_: ok ill fire it up, give it a minute to load. [23:01] and it was really blurry [23:01] Dirus: might be of interest: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#start-must-precede-another-service [23:01] jahman [23:01] well blurrier than I was used to like in windows [23:01] AlphaPsi: you can change the DPI to fix that [23:01] escott, mhmm, which command with xinput? [23:02] Oh okay, oh I remember now, I heard that your hardrive could get corrupted or something if something goes wrong with the full install [23:02] AlphaPsi: and the fonts are pretty "ech" in most linux distros until you customize them. [23:02] is that true? [23:02] bluezone, xinput list-props #device-id# [23:02] Is anyone loving Unity? [23:02] nope [23:02] scribble837636: Nope. [23:02] everyone hates it [23:02] What would you recommend westz, which fonts? [23:02] Dave888, thats not helpful [23:02] then why mopve to higher version and not stick to lts 10.04? [23:03] AlphaPsi, the only major worry would be resizing the ntfs partition. its possible something could go wrong there [23:03] AlphaPsi: of course, just like your harddrive could get corrupted if you saved a file in word: it's highly unlikely, just a possibility [23:03] I can't find anything now! [23:03] scribble837636: Ubuntu seems to have lost a lot of users because of it. Almost everyone I know who used Ubuntu before has now left it for something else. [23:03] * bluezone gasps [23:03] Hmm I think there my harddrive already has 2-3 partitions [23:04] Is there anyway to get back to gnome? [23:04] But I'm not sure, the C drive and the D drive, are those partitions? [23:04] AlphaPsi: ??? [23:04] scribble837636, you should be able to switch that at the login screen [23:04] AlphaPsi, yes they are [23:04] AlphaPsi: is D your cd drive? [23:04] !classic | scribble837636 [23:04] scribble837636: 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". [23:04] k...I'll give it a go [23:04] I don't think so [23:04] <`Lyn> i've own a domain and a vps with ubuntu installed, ip is static. i want to add a vhost so i could use it on irc, how can i do it on ubuntu? [23:04] YES i was right!! xD [23:04] ACER (C:) drive, and the DATA (D:) drive [23:04] Hi [23:04] PythonSnake, hi [23:05] after an update I can't run any games.. === grekkos is now known as Guest20968 [23:05] !details | PythonSnake [23:05] PythonSnake: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:05] AlphaPsi: yeah those are partitions, one is probably a recovery partition for windows [23:05] It just doesn't show anything [23:05] I put the provides from the other script in the "Required-Start" of the dhcp server script but it didn't seem to change the execution order [23:05] <`Lyn> i've own a domain and a vps with ubuntu installed, ip is static. i want to add a vhost so i could use it on irc, how can i do it on ubuntu? [23:05] Failed to execute child process "game" (No such file or directory) under gnome === `Lyn is now known as `Lynx === andrea is now known as Guest87877 [23:05] But the DATA drive has almost nothing in it [23:06] do I have to run something to reprocess the start up script info? [23:06] AlphaPsi: how big is it? (right click the drive, properties) [23:06] 145 GB [23:06] admin [23:06] how big is the other one? [23:06] 145 [23:06] odd [23:06] So I think my harddrive is split [23:06] yeah it is [23:07] thats really weird [23:07] Theres nothing in the DATA (D:) drive though, and stuff is in the ACER (C:) drive [23:07] i wonder if they're partitions or sep[erate drives.... [23:07] bump: escott, any idea how can I scale 1024x600 onto 800x480 with xnest? [23:07] Wait whats the difference? [23:08] man page wasn't helpful [23:08] how do I install a program in linux which has a "makefile" [23:08] one way, you have two harddrives, the other, you have one thats chopped in half [23:08] esing0: you have to type "make" in the directory with Makefile [23:08] AlphaPsi: the difference between "a pie" and "a slice of pie" [23:08] sweetest ive done this, but i get 2 errors [23:08] esing0: google "compiling programs in ubuntu" [23:09] i wanted to install "tctool" [23:09] escott, how do i get the mouse id :O its not appearing in lspci :( [23:09] esing0: most often even before you run "make", you have to type "./configure" [23:09] also, with most programs there is included "INSTALL" file with instructions [23:09] I advise to look for it and read it [23:09] bluezone: you have a mouse connected via PCI? really? try "lsusb" [23:10] mneptok, no i don't know what pci is lol i just always use it [23:10] bluezone: Peripheral Compenent Interface [23:10] * kimico Miauuuuuu online [23:10] bluezone: lspci lists pci devices, lsusb lists usb devices, get it? [23:10] mneptok, i should really get a degree in computers :( [23:10] i guess, time to put that in notes lol [23:11] So can I format my DATA (D:) drive/ can I install Ubuntu on my D: drive [23:11] ? [23:11] if it's a seperate drive, absolutely [23:11] AlphaPsi: is it a drive, or a partition of a drive? [23:11] bluezone, xinput list [23:11] AlphaPsi: if you don't know, it's time to find out. [23:11] How do I find out? [23:12] AlphaPsi: go to your device manager [23:12] Uhh [23:12] AlphaPsi: i believe you can get to it in control panel [23:13] AlphaPsi: or by going to "system properties" [23:13] Okay got to it [23:13] AlphaPsi: (right click "my computer) [23:13] escott, alright i got the id and did this: xinput list-props 046d:c041 but it outputs unable to find device [23:13] sweetest, vnc? [23:13] AlphaPsi: now scoll down it til you find something that says "storage devices" or "hard drives" [23:13] bluezone, no first run xinput list the id number is internal to x [23:14] Disk Drives? [23:14] i havent run windows in months so i cant quite remember [23:14] yeah thats it [23:14] expand that [23:14] i see :) [23:14] Okay I did [23:14] what all is there? [23:14] 4 Readers of some type, a USB device, and an ATA device [23:15] Maybe this isn't it? [23:15] AlphaPsi: you have one physical hard disk that has been partitioned. [23:15] thats it, unless your cd drive is ata [23:15] escott: and that's when it becomes dirty ]:-> doing regular work in vnc seems very unclean to me [23:15] *thats a joke [23:15] AlphaPsi, asus netbook? [23:15] well, will look some more :-) will find it sooner or later [23:15] bt, no [23:16] bluezone, the annoying thing about xinput set-props is it needs a field width (8bit/16bit/32bit) and i have no idea where one figures out the correct field width [23:16] AlphaPsi: ok, you have one harddrive that's split in half [23:16] Oh okay [23:16] so you'll have to do a little partitioning [23:16] What do you mean? [23:16] anyone can help on gnome 3? [23:16] well sorta, not really [23:16] escott, trial and error lol [23:16] Gangrel, its not supported here, so no [23:17] I don't think theres anything in my DATA (D:) drive [23:17] !gnome3 | Gangrel [23:17] Gangrel: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [23:17] AlphaPsi: do you already have a cd or usb drive with the installation media? [23:17] Wait, strange I opened the DATA drive and theres these files I dont recognize [23:17] there is also UGR but it should be a fresh install of 11.04 completely updatd [23:17] Some install and text documents that says eula [23:18] what are they named? [23:18] AlphaPsi: i would strongly suggest that before you investigate alternate OSes further you learn the difference between disks and partitions. otherwise you could really hose your system. [23:18] text documents named eula* [23:18] uela is "User End License Agreement" [23:18] *End User [23:19] Hmm alright, still not sure what it is [23:19] theres an install [23:19] installer* [23:19] its that thing you have to agree to before you install something [23:19] what's the filename of the installer? [23:19] "install" [23:19] lol [23:20] not "install.exe"? [23:20] wait can you see file extensons for known filetypes? [23:20] Well it's an Application file according to windows explorer [23:20] So I'm assuming its .exe [23:20] redhat ownz [23:20] joking [23:21] *facepalm* i recommend you learn more about computers before you try installing ubuntu [23:21] Oh theres another installer too: "VC_RED" [23:21] Wait what do you mean? [23:21] what are you installing? [23:22] first, go read up on what partitions are, and disk drives (RAID might be worth your time too) [23:22] Not sure just trying to figure out what's in this random partition on my harddrive [23:22] then, go read up on what a botloader is [23:22] escott, i tried all format(x) and it says sytanx error near '(' for: xinput set-int-prop 10 255 format (8) 0.5 [23:22] Can you run modify the partition you're currently using? Like delete a 2nd and expand the one you're on to the whole disk? [23:22] hola [23:22] bootloader is boots up the/an OS right?

[23:27] etc etc etc [23:28] AlphaPsi: all the questions he posed, you should be able to answer if you want to be able to uninstall ubuntu later [23:29] Hmm, the thing I dont know is what an extended partition is and what a swap partition is [23:29] Guys I really need help..
