[00:00] any of you have experience with x11rdp? [00:00] jwash: i've never used remote so i cant really help [00:00] hehe, that's all i do [00:00] how do I roll back todays updates? [00:01] the new intel driver ihas made my system unusable [00:01] jwash: as a server or a client? [00:01] x11rdp as a server [00:02] jwash: no, sorry. the only thing i did was x11 over ssh [00:02] specifically i'd like to bind x11vnc to x11rdp rather than xvnc being bound [00:03] I'd be in a world of hurt without ssh though [00:03] so It worked. by default, does ubuntu use a generic graphics driver for nvidia onboard cards? [00:03] jwash: i think that rdp is implemented as a plugin in vino [00:03] vino, never heard of that, i'll have a look now. thanks for the tip === matias is now known as Guest62508 [00:03] 有说汉语的吗？ [00:03] jwash: vino is the remote desktop implementation server of ubuntu's vnc [00:04] 有 [00:04] * drahst scratches his eyes [00:04] 感动啊 [00:04] 终于看见汉字了 [00:04] thirteen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:06] dov: that's what i've been using [00:07] but it uses xvnc rather than x11vnc [00:07] dov, last update for that was 2010-11-24 [00:07] anyway, i broke it somehow [00:07] thanks [00:07] 在这个房间里没有中国来说 [00:07] 有 [00:07] jwash, #ubuntu-cn [00:08] hehe, i just let him know [00:08] THIS_IS_INSANE: no idea, i just know that when you first install ubuntu, there are four entries in grub (excluding windfows) [00:08] okay, thanks [00:08] no one here uses evolution?

[01:29] allure: it doesn't have to mount, nor do you want it mounted if you intend to use scalpel or foremost on it [01:29] PythonSnake: then you should see it with a .dot-like name.

If you have any more easy ones like that keep em' comin :P [01:30] ok -- twinview -- plainer [01:30] em: is it normal that I removed partitions, remade them and reinstalled ubuntu and files are still there ? [01:31] ??? [01:31] PythonSnake: It's not impossible that you could reinstall ubuntu and still see old files if the installer did not format some old partitions. In fact many people do that intentionally with a separate home directory. [01:31] Hi edbian [01:32] em: Where can be old files so I delete ? [01:32] PythonSnake: that way they can reinstall Ubuntu but their /home is on its own partition and does not get formated so they have a fresh Ubuntu but with their old files intact. [01:32] PythonSnake: That I don't know. [01:32] em: I installed with live [01:33] If you installed and still see old files it must have not formated some partition. That's all I can tell you.

[01:36] graphic drivers [01:36] What do you mean by interface? [01:37] gnome [01:37] like gnome won't run only terminals [01:37] I just got that [01:37] that's why i reinstalled [01:37] Gnome won't run only terminals? [01:38] yes [01:38] PythonSnake, Console? you're at the console? [01:38] I don't understand what you have in mind? [01:38] Go to applications > Accessories > Terminal [01:38] That ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 works and f7 no [01:38] type: df -h [01:38] oh [01:39] console not terminal sorry [01:39] any chan to ask C coding questions? :) [01:39] zenithdk: try ##c [01:39] em: thanks [01:39] SUre [01:39] em: I meant xorg broken [01:39] how do i create a blu ray iso? [01:40] PythonSnake, Right, what you need to do is this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg => make sure you choose the proper graphics driver for X, then you should be set mate. [01:40] PythonSnake: Oh well that's a tricky one. Modern Ubuntu does not work with xorg.conf anymore. [01:40] ok I reask: Can drivers update break Xorg ? [01:40] huh? [01:40] Yes, driver updates can break your Xorg - however, follow the instructions I gave you, reconfigure your Xorg, and you're all set mate. [01:41] how ? [01:41] o.o [01:41] PythonSnake: I am not qualified to answer that question. I would think that drivers could mess up a lot of things. I don't think Modern Ubuntu even uses xorg.conf to deal with your drivers anymore though. It's supposed to just somehow recognize it. [01:41] so I wont need driverS? [01:41] em: ubuntu doesnt ship with xorg.conf but if one is present ot will be used [01:42] I'll just talk to the wall. More responsive. [01:42] You need drivers. [01:42] PythonSnake: which video chip do you use [01:42] em -- if there is xorg.conf/ settings in it -- it will be used [01:42] GMA HD [01:42] Well I don't think that his drivers are breaking something that's not there by default. [01:42] 刚刚说汉语的还在吗？ [01:42] PythonSnake: they are in a default install then, you may need xorg.conf to make them run well.

[02:02] or XFCE is a better choice ? [02:02] PythonSnake: unity is a shell which runs in gnome, unity doesn't replace gnome [02:03] PythonSnake: you can run unity in xfce, you can run unity in lxde [02:03] how i can know what device (/dev/*) is a pendrive that i plug in ?

[02:04] ActionParsnip: just appear the hard disk's partition [02:04] i think he means the appearance [02:05] Hmm... Still no wireless love on this laptop. It's a ThinkPad X41 with an Intel IPW2200 running 11.04. Anyone have experience with that? [02:05] actionparsnip: i have Intel 945 Graphics [02:05] crazybrain: yes, but what do you mean by "windows graphics"? [02:05] actionparsnip; but it isnt working here [02:05] ActionParsnip: still getting package system broken error messages. [02:06] crazybrain: ok the driver is part of the default install. You don't use windows drivers for video in ubuntu as is is a distribion of linux, not windows [02:06] Test [02:06] Winally. [02:06] crazybrain: just a hint for irc, you can type the first letters of a nickname and press TAB to complete it [02:06] Anyway, I'm having a GRUB issue. I installed Ubuntu to an external hard drive. Grub seems to have installed to my primary internal. Computer won't boot without the external. External has been formatted. I don't have an optical drive. Need to fix my mbr. Any clues? [02:07] ActionParsnip: actually problem is graphics arent working in Ubuntu [02:07] aTypical: should be in the default install. try: sudo modprobe ipw2200 [02:07] crazybrain: does the system have a make and model? [02:07] BrianCelery: Do you have an OS on both hdds ? [02:07] crazybrain: can you also give the output of: lsb_release -d [02:08] ActionParsnip, thanks. It appears to have loaded normally. [02:08] edbian: I have Ubuntu on the external.. HAD... It's been formatted in an attempt to create a boot disk. Windows 7 is on the internal [02:08] lol [02:08] bugging [02:08] /clear [02:08] BrianCelery: What do you mean a boot disc? [02:09] Hey guys. I'd like to have an ubuntu 3-screen setup with two nvidia cards. Can anyone of you tell me if this is possible without sli? [02:09] I have no optical drive. I was intending to try and create something I could boot off of in order to repair grub. [02:09] I failed. [02:09] aTypical: does it now work? [02:09] Nope [02:09] If I could throw in a disc, I'd just run bootrec [02:10] BrianCelery: Apparently grub was broken to begin with. Do you have an Ubuntu liveCD or liveUSB ?? [02:10] aTypical: try: sudo modprobe -r ipw2200; sudo modprobe ipw2200 [02:10] edbian: Negative. Haven't been able to get a booting ubuntu USB working. [02:10] BrianCelery: you can use unetbootin and make a live usb OS to repair with [02:10] ActionParsnip, still nothing. [02:10] BrianCelery: be sure to MD5 test the ISO you use [02:11] BrianCelery: How did you install Ubuntu in the first place? [02:11] ActionParsnip: Okay. I'm assuming I can use... Anything? I don't have a Ubuntu ISO [02:11] aTypical: can you give a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; rfkill list [02:11] edbian: There WAS an optical drive. It's getting replaced. [02:11] BrianCelery: anything in what way? [02:11] BrianCelery: It's broken now [02:11] ? [02:11] ActionParsnip: A smaller ISO of another distro. [02:11] edbian: correct. [02:11] BrianCelery: Did you create a liveUSB and you just can't get it to boot? [02:12] BrianCelery: as long as it can do what you need, sure why not [02:12] edbian: a while ago. That was my first idea for solving the issue. [02:12] BrianCelery: Can you boot Ubuntu on the external right now? [02:12] ActionParsnip: I might as well get another Ubuntu iso, so that when I come back in here after I reboot with it, the instructions are the same. [02:12] BrianCelery: makes sense [02:12] ActionParsnip, yeah, one second please. I have to switch over to that workstation [02:12] hello I want to put a script to be run on bootup but I don't want it to be run as sudo is this possible?...I've tried this method but it starts up my scripts with sudo http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [02:12] edbian: No.... Maybe... I DID format the windows partition (the NTFS partition I was using for storage) I didn't delete the Linux partitions... So I'm sure I could. [02:13] Is GNOME 3 good [02:13] But... If I do reboot and it doesn't work, I'm euchred. [02:13] BrianCelery: You formatted the window partition? That means it's erased. What is the goal here? Sounds to me like you have Ubuntu and grub installed on the external and windowboot loader but no windows at all installed on the internal [02:14] PythonSnake: good is subjective to opinion. It however is not stable [02:14] edbian: Give me 2-5 minutes. I'm gonna boot up the Macbook Air and get on IRC there. [02:14] edbian: Here is a partition map for you [02:14] !gnome3 | PythonSnake [02:14] PythonSnake: 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. [02:14] BrianCelery: ok [02:14] PythonSnake: your choice, I don't recommend it due to your clear newness with the OS [02:14] Internal: Windows External Blank NTFS drive reformatted to FAT because I needed to move stuff from a mac + Linux Partitions [02:14] ActionParnsip: So it was GNOME 3 who broke my ubuntu.. [02:14] Hi, I am having an issue when reattaching a screen, the text wrapping is all crazy. I tried doing ctrl-a r, but it didn't help. this is what it looks like: http://d.pr/CIWu [02:14] PythonSnake: possibly [02:15] So I am IN windows now, on the internal drive. but if I reboot the computer without connecting the external, the computer will give me a grub rescue error [02:15] BrianCelery: Ahhh, so you can boot windows or linux but you must have the external plugged in. Is that it? [02:15] Yes. [02:16] BrianCelery: Which drive is /dev/sda ? [02:16] BrianCelery: is that the internal? (probably) [02:16] And because I formatted that NTFS partition and changed it to FAT, I don't know if I can boot from that hard drive at the moment... And I haven't tried as I didn't want the computer to reboot. [02:16] I don't know off hand, I'm in Windows. Should I log into IRC on the Macbook and then see if it boots? [02:16] Because if I get into Ubuntu we can fix it from there, can we not? [02:17] (Macbook == second computer) so I can stay on IRC while we fix this one [02:17] BrianCelery: I'm confused about which machine is which and what the partitions are on the target machine. [02:17] BrianCelery: Can you lay it all out for me in one giant response? [02:17] Everything is on the target machine. [02:17] Does the MS Zune work with Ubuntu? [02:17] BrianCelery: I am confident I can find / fix the problem [02:18] Roasted: Does the MS Zune work at all? [02:18] Corey, yeah. I'm just curious if it works so I know whether it's worth my time to troubleshoot why this zune I just got doesnt mount. I get errors. [02:18] Roasted: no, it doesn't... [02:19] KM0201, really? [02:19] Roasted: It does not. [02:19] Roasted: really. [02:19] but the ipod does? [02:19] Roasted: you really expected a Microsoft device, to work w/ Linux? [02:19] Roasted: ipods are a total different ball of wax [02:19] KM0201, I chose to be optimistic. [02:19] ActionParsnip, here's the paste - http://pastebin.com/rM0YnQkQ [02:19] Roasted: unfortunately it bit you. [02:19] Roasted: from what I've read, it might work in a vbox [02:19] KM0201, well, I didnt buy the thing, so [02:19] !ipod | Roasted [02:19] Roasted: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [02:19] SlidingHorn, I refuse to use virtualbox. [02:19] !zune [02:20] It either works in Linux, or I don't use it. [02:20] Note the lack of factoid. [02:20] where is synaptic ? [02:20] gnome 2 [02:20] Roasted: i just plugged my zune in (hadn't tried it w/ 11.04) [02:20] it mounts, i can browse it, but thats it. [02:20] Corey: its not a lag but if ubottu doesnt have an answer there is no public message [02:20] KM0201, can you see music files? [02:21] KM0201, cause that's all I want [02:21] can I somehow run a command with an anti-sudo [02:21] ? [02:21] iceroot: There's a PM though. [02:21] iceroot: I'm vaguely aware of how ubottu works. ;-) [02:21] Roasted: yes, i can see them, but i cannot play them [02:21] KM0201, my problem is, mine doesnt even mount. It just errors out [02:21] KM0201, can you format these things? === BrianCelery_ is now known as BrianCelery [02:21] [03:20] Corey | Note the lack of factoid. [02:21] Roasted: not to work w/ Linux. [02:21] iceroot: Yes. Lack. Not lag. [02:21] Corey: ok [02:21] Where is Synaptics on gnome 2 ? [02:21] KM0201, no, format as in, return to factory settings [02:21] KM0201, this zune was my gf's, so it has all her stuff on it. [02:22] I figured I could do it in banshee or something. [02:22] Roasted: umm.. i think you need zune marketplace to do that [02:22] edbian: Good to go [02:22] Roasted: unfortunately not [02:22] BrianCelery: hi [02:22] KM0201, can I add/remove music as I wish on these things or do I need to use the marketplace entirely for that? [02:22] i take it you don't have windows at all? [02:22] edbian: okay, so the external still boots to grub [02:22] please [02:22] Did I lose you ActionParsnip ? [02:22] I got to go soon [02:22] KM0201, I do, I just dont have enough space to put music on it to sync like that. [02:22] Roasted: the only way to sync a zune, is to use Zune Marketplace (it can be music you've gotten from other places, thats just the name of the software) [02:23] does that mean I should just boot to recovery environment and fixmbr? Or are we going to rebuild grub [02:23] Where is synaptic.. [02:23] ActionParsnip: how to install intel 945g [02:23] PythonSnake: We shall be here when you get back. [02:23] KM0201, then I think I'll give this back to my girlfriend. :P [02:23] ? [02:23] and get a REAL music player. [02:23] !synaptic | PythonSnake [02:23] PythonSnake: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [02:23] in ubuntu 10.04 [02:23] BrianCelery: BrianCelery So the internal hdd only has windows on it? [02:23] BrianCelery: Was Ubuntu on that hdd at one time? [02:23] edbian: correct [02:23] No. [02:23] Roasted: can you put XP in vbox, then keep your music on the "host" OS, and sync the Zune in the Guest OS, off the host drive? (thats what i do) [02:23] Thanks ubottu :) [02:23] KM0201, no offense, but no. [02:23] hi all [02:23] KM0201, it either works in Linux, or I don't use it. [02:24] Roasted: ok.. well, you'll get no joy there.. for sure. [02:24] If a company is going to be naive and/or self righteous enough not to support Linux, then I won't support them. Even if it is a free gift from my lady friend. [02:24] edbian: I'm logged into Ubuntu. [02:24] BrianCelery: Grub doesn't git in the MBR. part of it goes there and the other part goes in /boot/grub. I think /boot/grub is on the second hdd but grub is on the internal hdd MBR. [02:24] is psad compatible with Ubuntu natty ? [02:24] However, this thing is acting weird. I almost wonder if the hard drive is okay in it. [02:24] Roasted: This is a support channel, not an advocacy channel. Please take it elsewhere. [02:24] edbian: how to verify? [02:24] Roasted: Zune isn't supported here at all. Try another channel? [02:24] Corey, no thanks. [02:24] BrianCelery: which is the internal drive? /dev/sda or /dev/sdb ? [02:24] Corey, no thanks. [02:24] Roasted: i dunno.. i got a great deal on an 80gig zune a few years ago, and i love it. [02:24] How big should a swamp partition be? [02:24] its been flawless for me [02:25] edbian: I should be using grep to find that out? [02:25] KM0201, It's just weird, some google results are returning some users having success. Weird. [02:25] BrianCelery: sudo fdisk -l [02:25] BrianCelery: :) [02:25] Roasted: Again, it's unsupported here. [02:25] KM0201, it sounds entirely hit/miss, though. You have to wonder if playlists even work, etc. [02:25] Roasted: i guarantee you, nobody has had success syncing it under Linux, guarantee... [02:25] Roasted: only way to et it to work under Linux, is w/ a virtual OS... [02:25] KM0201, well you at least had success mounting it. I did not. :P [02:25] How big should a swap partition be?** [02:26] KM0201, do you know of any Linux-friendly devices that are like an ipod/zune? [02:26] Roasted: yeah.. :) (and honestly, i'd never gotten that far before..) [02:26] edbian: sda is internal, sdb is external [02:26] KM0201, learn something new then, eh? :P [02:26] !ipod | Roasted [02:26] Roasted: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [02:26] AlphaPsi, atleast 2GB [02:26] Corey, I got it. Thanks. [02:26] Corey, that didn't help, but thanks. [02:26] Corey, I was asking for something LIKE an ipod, not an ipod. [02:26] Roasted: the archos devices are popular.. kind of expensive, but they apparently work w/ Linux, and most Ipods work w/ Linux (although the Linux IPOD tools suck) [02:26] What do you mean by at least? [02:26] Roasted: You just asked for something ipod like that works. How is an ipod not useful? :-) [02:26] Corey, it's made by Apple. Self explanatory there. [02:26] Corey, but thanks. [02:27] AlphaPsi, you can make it any size you want but nothing under 2GB [02:27] Roasted: Go check out Rockbox then? [02:27] Surely they have an HCL. [02:27] KM0201, I never heard of archos... hmm... [02:27] Corey, I have RockBox on my Sansa. I wasn't too sure how much I liked it. [02:27] ChaosSaber: I got that, haha, but how big do people usually do them? 2gb? or more? [02:27] Corey, in fact, once I put RockBox on my Sansa, it screwed up my default user interface that came with it. I actually prefer it to RockBox, and now I'm stuck with it. :( [02:27] Corey, I just want a half decent feature packed device that can sync music without a hassle. [02:27] BrianCelery: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=internalMBR bs=512 count=1 [02:28] AlphaPsi, it really just depends on the person, I have mine at 2.5GB [02:28] BrianCelery: Then file internalMBR [02:28] Roasted: You're going to have some kind of hassle no matter what you pick, unfortunately. [02:28] BrianCelery: The first command reads the bytes from the MBR, the second translates them to human readable form and prints to the screen [02:28] Roasted: unfortunatley corey is right there [02:28] BrianCelery: It will tell you if you have grub installed on that hdd or not [02:28] KM0201, this saddens me :( [02:29] Roasted: yep.. .. [02:29] I wonder if I can get this Sansa back to factory settings without rockbox... off to therockbox chat... [02:29] lol [02:29] I just hope I can get back the default user interface... [02:29] I've got a problem I was downloading wine with software center system froze and i reboot now it won't download anymore but it install.. [02:30] so how to fix that? [02:30] edbian: so how to I tell? [02:30] BrianCelery: Read it using file. Does it say 'Grand Unified Bootloader?' [02:31] BrianCelery: I have to go. There are other people here :) [02:31] How can I find out what the standard for tabstops are in the Ubuntu terminal? [02:31] But no, it doesnt say that === guest is now known as wechat [02:33] does anyone have a logitech.xml file in /etc/udev/data/046d/logitech.xml [02:33] i hate xterm but want to be able to log in to just a terminal window, any way i can log into gnome-terminal? [02:33] I need it for uvcdynctrl so I can get my webcams pan/tilt working >.> [02:34] #c [02:35] hylian: openbox is close to that [02:35] Hello. What is the price in english-speking countries of used IBM Thinkpad on which I could install linux? [02:35] Bye guys [02:35] Thanks for the help !!! [02:36] chaddy, i would like to use what is already on the system, i am familiar with gnome-terminal, not so much openbox. [02:36] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. what does that mean??? [02:37] crazybrain, did you try running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a terminal? it means something isn't configured properly. === Pilif12p is now known as Brunette [02:38] hylian: I could be wrong, but isn't it in your login menu? [02:38] ActionParsnip: were you following/ are you available/ need a recap? [02:38] chaddy, it is now because i just sudo apt-get install'd openbox. openbox does not come with ubuntu vanilla. [02:39] must have been on the verge of sleep when I snuck that one past myself, then ;) [02:39] chaddy, i want to log into a terminal, not another version of gnome on a hunger strike. but i hate xterm with a passion. [02:39] hylian, FYI openbox is a windows manager. Why do you want only a terminal? [02:40] hylian: configure openbox to open a terminal [02:40] Which setting in ccsm was it that allowed you to move a window via keyboard shortcut to fill up half the screen on left/right or top/bottom [02:40] gnome-terminal he wants, ZykoticK9 [02:40] ZykoticK9, actually the option to boot to xterm already exists. I just find it lacking in easy access to controls. That's why I like gnome-terminal [02:40] hylian, buy WHY do you want only a terminal? [02:40] s/buy/but/ [02:40] and an xserver, presumably [02:41] chaddy, if that's what i wanted, i would have set up gnome to do so on my own. I don't want (windows manager) then terminal, just want terminal. thanks though [02:42] ZykoticK9, well, i do a lot of stuff cli, but now and again i use an x app, like xlinks. [02:42] ctrl + alt F1-F6 [02:42] Can someone explain how to mute a sound source [02:42] hylian: you can't get away from the fact that gnome-terminal needs an x server [02:42] chaddy, no. ctrl-alt f1 through f6 has no x draw capability. thanks for the idea though! [02:42] chaddy, exactly. I do want x running. [02:43] hmm, cross purposes [02:43] so you want a bare x session, but instead of xterm, gnome-terminal? [02:44] so how do you add an option to log into something like gnome-terminal. in windows, if i wanted to, i could make notepad the kernel, why i would want to i don't know, but i could. should be able to log into gnome-terminal... [02:44] am fighting a network manager issue, changes to false on shutdown, think this time because of power failure, is it easier to disable network manager, and configure manually in etc interfaces file ? [02:44] How do I mute a sound source [02:44] chaddy, exactly! [02:44] hylian: you can't run gnome-terminal without x, you can create a new .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions copying the xterm.desktop and replace the references to xterm with gnome-terminal and log into that [02:45] trism, i want to run x. please read the entire stream, thank you. [02:45] hylian: oh sorry, I misread that [02:46] trism, great idea! i think i'll try that! [02:46] ok y'all, brb, perhaps loggin into gnome-terminal! [02:47] How do I mute a sound source? The nonexistence of an obvious utility to mute a sound source makes Ubuntu nearly unusable for me and is inexcusable [02:49] Bah good day. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25140/ suggests that one does not exist. [02:49] DriversFixed, open terminal: alsamixer, then use m for mute [02:49] driversfixed alsamixer from a terminal gives you complete control over sound [02:50] jups [02:50] whats the best email client for ubunutu? [02:50] How do I mute an application [02:50] Without muting everything [02:50] !best | smsfail [02:50] smsfail: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:50] if the application has its own volume control -- that is down to the application [02:50] rhin0 - what if the application does not, or if it's broken [02:51] for isntance mplayer has its own volume control -- you can mute mplayer and still have firefox etc playing sound [02:51] well, aside from mplayer, what should I do [02:52] peace === root is now known as Guest95428 [02:52] you could make a short key Volume mute [02:52] !rootirc | root [02:52] root: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [02:53] OerHeks: How do I do that for a given application? [02:53] not if using read-only live cd isn't it? [02:54] if the application has no mute, only mute left is systemwide [02:54] Guest95428: still not the best of ideas.. but i see your point. [02:54] OerHeks: So basically you're saying that this basic functionality does not exist in Ubuntu. [02:55] can someone tell me if there is a size limit to a tar.gz file? I got this message, [02:55] gzip: stdout: File too large [02:55] tar: /media/ULTRA TD/06.27.11.tar.gz: Wrote only 8192 of 10240 bytes [02:55] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [02:55] its a function of the pulse audio sound system. not all programs support pulse audio fully. [02:55] is halp to be found here? [02:55] DriversFixed, no that is not what i am saying. [02:56] open alsamixer, and you can mute [02:56] bk_ I think it means too large for the device you are writing it onto -- /media/ultra td -- is that a usb key (or something) [02:56] I don't see anything but a system-wide mute in alsamixer [02:56] need to write it onto your hard disk bk_ [02:56] yes driversfixed -- alsamixer just gives you more controls -- won't mute your application [02:56] rhin0, it's an external hard drive. it says it still has 37 GB of freespace, which should have been more than enough. [02:57] So.... I should go to windows then. [02:57] driversfixed I am sure there is a way of doing it -- just that nobody here knows -- keep asking or research it using google or on ubuntu forums [02:58] Pulse Audio does has perapp volume control. - if the apps are written to use pulse audio i belive. [02:58] rhin0, FYI it's not possible with ALSA but it's "slightly" possible with Pulse [02:58] Mangler won;t install on 11.04... help! Repo cannot be added... terminal gives message "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mangler/mangler [02:58] " [02:58] sorry [02:58] can't find signing_key_fingerprint at https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~mangler/+archive/mangler [02:58] I never use the feature either. :) rarely ever use it under windows either. - theres some other neat pulse tricks i do use.

[03:01] I admit that perapp volume isn't too useful since most include volume control, but I have an app that is broken [03:01] Hey, I noticed that one of the packages in synaptic package manager missed a major revision to a program. How do I get the more recent version in the repository, or who do I tell? [03:02] thanks all, much better that xterm.

[03:04] sorry [03:04] not talking about mangler [03:04] I'm talking about pulseadio [03:04] *pulseaudio [03:04] ah [03:04] Hey, I noticed that one of the packages in synaptic package manager missed a major revision to a program.

[03:08] ZykoticK9: Which appears to be why it doesn't work anymore: the only sound source it sees is "ALSA Plugin" [03:09] Or does anyone know how to keep every application from opening fully maximized in unity? [03:11] Or how if you running 11.04 in virtual box in full screen mode how to get the bottom VB menu to not go away... === mimico is now known as mimico_afk [03:13] Hello. Does anyone have a solution for Ubuntu locking up on an external hard drive? I cannot connect a seperate power source as it's a travel drive. Is there anyway to disable the sleepping? [03:14] BrianCLerey: you want to disable ubuntu from sleeping so your external hardrive doesn't shut off? [03:14] just go to power options in preferences [03:14] (to Brian) [03:15] sorry, power options [03:15] Hello everyone :), just wanted to check that #ayatana is the right place to ask questions about the software center? [03:15] BrianClerey: ^ that and also make sure you get the screen saver as well, the blank screen looks like a power options standby :-) [03:15] can anyone help me install Mangler in11.04? [03:16] kaStevie, is it a "support" question? If so, you should be asking here. [03:16] nope, I was looking for the design research on the software center [03:16] kaStevie, then I have no idea. Good luck. [03:16] Does anyone know how to keep applications from opening up fully maximized in unity? [03:16] hello all. I borked my nginx install on my ubuntu server. whenever I try removing/installing it gives me this: dpkg: warning: files list file for package `nginx-common' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. === bluethundr_ is now known as bluethundr [03:17] ZykoticK9: thanks for trying to help ^_^ === Brunette is now known as Pilif12p [03:19] marksands: could reinstall nginx-common to square off the packages [03:19] Hi everyone, could someone help me. I'm having issues with flash videos in firefox under ubuntu 64 [03:21] Actionparsnip: wow, should have been obvious to me.. i think that worked [03:22] Habeeb: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf thanks [03:22] marksands: Linux is simple :) [03:22] hello, i want to install php+mysql on my ubuntu. on windows i am using Wamp. Is there any alternative for wamp on linux? so i won`t needto install php and mysql separately [03:22] !lamp [03:22] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [03:23] alex86, run "sudo tasksel" in a terminal - then select LAMP [03:23] ZykoticK9: but i need php and mysql === gpc is now known as IdleOne [03:25] ZykoticK9: command tasksel is not found [03:26] Did 11.04 remove tasksel? [03:27] ZykoticK9, seems so [03:27] The program 'tasksel' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [03:27] sudo apt-get install tasksel [03:27] !info tasksel natty [03:27] tasksel (source: tasksel): Tool for selecting tasks for installation on Debian systems. In component main, is optional. Version 2.88ubuntu3 (natty), package size 32 kB, installed size 236 kB [03:27] alex86, sorry, looks like i gave you outdated info. [03:27] alex86: seems its available, just optional :) [03:27] in U,X,L,buntu does changing to a more current graphics card do the same or more than increasing system ram? [03:27] http://fukung.net/v/2917/1174330218-1174130245979.b.jpg [03:28] lapaga: depends what you use the OS for [03:28] lapaga: if all you do is email and word process then no [03:29] Jora: please don't paste that here [03:29] ActionParsnip, Here you go. http://pastebin.com/9Qi4debz [03:29] wrong window sorry [03:29] is seems that there are a lot of work to get LAMP to live: http://www.lamphowto.com/ [03:29] *life [03:30] Habeeb, what problem are you having with Adobe Flash? [03:30] ActionParsnip, well this is a very low ram system (256M) was wondering if a more current video card would take off the slack. not I never email or use it for word process [03:30] ActionParsnip, My issue is that on certain websites such as Gametrailers.com, all flash content has these grey flickering areas [03:30] Habeeb: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin64-installer [03:31] lapaga: if you want to run compiz and junk then it will make it smoother, I'd go for more RAM, it will make a bigger difference [03:31] Habeeb: gives 64bit flash for your 64bit OS [03:31] ActionParsnip, so would I but new ram for this would cost much more than a new video card. RambusRam is very expensive [03:32] ActionParsnip, I thought 64bit flash for linux was terrible. [03:32] ActionParsnip, oh wow, that fixed it. [03:33] trism: this is working perfect! :) [03:34] lapaga: oh jeez I thought that stuff died out properly [03:34] Habeeb: no it s sweeeeeet [03:34] What are the benefits of having a /home partition? [03:34] Habeeb: theres a ppa with 64bit java, no need for nspluginwrapper :) [03:35] AlphaPsi: backups are easier and if you reinstall you can simply mark the root partition for formatting and your user data will be untouched [03:35] hello, is there a way to hide files between separate users accounts? [03:35] uabn93: do you mean not even allow them to see the filenames etc? [03:35] userdata as in wordfiles, music, etc.? Does it also include programs? [03:36] AlphaPsi: just settings and photos etc, anything which is in your home folder currently# [03:36] ActionParsnip, yes it did but my computer did not:) oh well...will wait until my vacation checks come in [03:36] ActionParsnip, Thanks again. [03:37] lapaga: that stuff is real pricey, damn [03:37] Habeeb: np :) [03:37] lapaga: 105 GBP for 1Gb 400Mhz RAMBUS, that's not steep. It's vertical [03:38] The root and home partitions are Ext4 right? [03:38] hylian: glad to hear it [03:38] AlphaPsi: by default yes, but you can change them if you use custome partitioning [03:38] What are the differences from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, etc.? [03:38] ActionParsnip: yes. Can a limited user account see the files of an admin account? [03:39] ActionParsnip, yup and that is not actually making sure it will work...just the price of hoping someone will send you the right one. Well guess I can wait to get a new computer [03:39] AlphaPsi, ext2 didn't use journalling [03:39] uabn93: by default, yes. If you set the group and other access to zero then ONLY the owning user will have any access :) [03:40] uabn93, FYI by default all Ubuntu users' home directories are READABLE by anyone -- this default is uncommon in the gnu/linux distro world. [03:41] ActionParsnip: ahhh. that was simple. thanks for the help, buddy [03:41] ZykoticK9: good to know. thank you === ghost is now known as Guest91079 [03:43] anyone know why after installing 11.04 from USB without downloading packages or 3rd party tools I can't get the GUI to boot? [03:43] uabn93: np man [03:43] greetings all, I am trying to install Ubuntu onto an IBM thinkpad and the thing will not boot off the install disc. I set the boot device priority as DVD, but it still will not. Any ideas? [03:43] When I set the windows partition to mount /windows , will it slow it down? Just setting it to mount /windows will allow me to access the file within it correct? Any other things I need to know about doing that? [03:43] Where sould Chromium's font preferences be stored at? The text in the tabs seem to be a little weird to me. [03:43] subimage: what video chip do you use? [03:43] subimage: are you hanging at the ubuntu logo screen? [03:44] i can get to terminal fine if i alt-ctrl-f1 but if i just let it boot my monitor gets no signal. this is on an ati radeon 5xxx [03:44] i think its a 5670 [03:44] 5760...somethin like that [03:44] That's odd. [03:44] does the 5670 have multiple outputs? [03:44] yeah [03:45] like i see it begin to go through its little dot splash screen [03:45] are you connected to the DVI output? [03:45] then the monitor just loses...and yes dvi [03:45] like i said, i can see terminal on same output just fine [03:45] is it because 11.04 is "beta" or is that just a fluke? [03:45] subimage: try the boot option: nomodeset [03:45] ^ [03:45] tihs [03:45] ActionParsnip: how do i do that? [03:45] subimage: 11.04 isn't beta, its released and stable [03:46] ActionParsnip: ok [03:46] !bootoption | subimage [03:46] subimage: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [03:46] !nomodeset [03:46] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [03:47] chrome://settings/fonts [03:47] ActionParsnip: is that "safe graphics mode" then? [03:47] what up peoples [03:47] nmind /me reads forum [03:49] so whoknows how to destroy the nasty pink grub background in 11.04? I dint want a picture, just the old black/white color scheme [03:50] hello [03:50] subimage: it will give you a deskto, you can then install updates and/or the ati proprietary driver if you wish which should then fix things [03:50] irc.perl.org [03:50] so i just put ubunto on my comp this weekend :D [03:50] i think im lovin' it! [03:50] me too hehe [03:51] guys, i have a problem. [03:51] orly? [03:51] When I set the windows partition to mount /windows , will it slow it down? Just setting it to mount /windows will allow me to access the file within it correct? Any other things I need to know about doing that? [03:51] hoopyfreud, if it's really Grub you are talking about check /etc/default/grub -- you need to run "sudo update-grub2" if you make any changes [03:51] hoopyfreud: has some insight into how colours are set: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-1243.html [03:51] /dev/loop0 says available 14.4gb and /dev/sda3 (/host) shows 51.7gb [03:51] how do i make it so i can use that 51gb? [03:52] in my grub.cfg file, the colors are still black/white, but it appears pink on boot [03:52] because when im trying to install my game it says im running out of space [03:52] hoopyfreud: you dont touch grub.cfg [03:52] hoopyfreud, did this start after you install a propritary graphics driver? [03:53] morth: run: ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files and you can save stuff on your NTFS partition [03:53] nope it seems to be the default on 11.04 [03:53] hoopyfreud: to edit grub you change its files, then run: sudo update-grub this generates grub.cfg [03:54] hoopyfreud, yet another reason 11.04 has caused Ubuntu to drop from the #1 spot on distrowatch ;) [03:54] yes, I know i have looked at grub.cfg and it says the colors are black and white [03:55] is there a specific room for specific apps? [03:55] morth: run the command I gave in a terminal and you will get a new folder in $HOME when you save stuff in there it will go onto your NTFS files [03:55] i.e., Sribus? === Guest91079 is now known as GhostSneaker [03:55] okay so i just open terminal and do ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files and it'll work? [03:55] kk [03:55] josh__: sure, try #scribus I gues you typo'd [03:56] gracias [03:56] yeah i typoed sorry [03:56] grub.cfg DOES contain the lines [03:56] " [03:56] ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### [03:56] set menu_color_normal=white/black [03:56] set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray [03:56] if background_color 44,0,30; then [03:56] clear [03:56] hoopyfreud: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:56] hello, i'm my wireless isn't working. i see "wireless is disabled by hardware switch" [03:57] needwifi: press the wireless button/toggle switch. Have a nice day! [03:57] needwifi: do you have a switch or shortcut to turn wifi off and on? [03:57] needwifi, does you laptop have a Wireless hot-key combination, perhaps with a FN key? If so, turn it on. [03:57] hey all. so i recently changed my vidcard and but i'm not using the proper opengl libraries anymore (switched from proprietary/binary fglrx driver to opensource ati driver) -- running any opengl apps segfaults (glxgears, glxinfo). i remember there is a command to change which files the opengl symlinks point to, but i cant remember. anyone? [03:57] needwifi: if that doesnt work, sudo rfkill unblock all [03:57] ActionParsnip i just typed in " ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files" and it didn't do anything.. atleast i dont think it did [03:58] morth: open your home folder ;) [03:58] i'm not sure if there is a hot-key combination with the fn key. my computer's switch doesn't change from orange (off) to blue (on) [03:58] use sudo rfkill unblock all... [03:58] didn't do anything [03:58] unless its n actual switch on the side of your machine it should [03:58] * ActionParsnip hates those stupid switches when they don't work [03:59] it is an actual switch [03:59] then flip it to on [03:59] okay noob question what did that do? [03:59] derp [03:59] it shows Windows files now [03:59] but it doesn't do anything [03:59] needwifi: something in your BIOS settings might be to blame [03:59] it stays orange [03:59] well the folder atleast [03:59] trevinc: how can i tell? [04:00] Actionparsnip okay so this allows me to put files into that folder using that leftover space i wanted to use? [04:00] needwifi its a switch on your machine -- hardware switch means just that -- either a mechanical switch or a keyboard function key/wireless key [04:00] morth: it made a link which is like a windows shortcut but a tonne more powerful.

[04:49] sorry [04:49] and wireless won't work [04:49] dominick: Open your terminal and type lspci. then copy the output, go to pastie.org and paste it there. then post the link in here [04:49] dominick, open a terminal and type "lspci" then copy and paste that into paste.ubuntu.com [04:49] ok cool [04:49] I Used this manuall [04:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers [04:50] But nothing changed [04:50] http://senorgif.memebase.com/2011/06/22/funny-gifs-truck-service-fail/ [04:50] oops wrong chan [04:50] Polah: Thanks [04:50] any idea?

Wired is The 3Com card. [04:53] dominick, yes there is a 3com [04:53] oh? [04:54] realtek 8190... I think that was one of those plug in usb wireless nic things that I don't currently have with me [04:54] dominick: no, lspci lists motherboard hardware [04:54] wow no kidding coolpyrofreak [04:55] so what should I do from here?

On http://paste.ubuntu.com/634004/ === mRy is now known as Guest6136 [05:05] Nobgul-bnc, have you tried Moonlight? http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight [05:06] Polah, I have not. I was just about to ask if there is a silverlight alt. but im stuffing my face. Thank you for th elink [05:06] dominick: so it's the 3com you want working? [05:07] it's the encore I'm currently using (as far as I know) [05:07] but is ridiculously slow [05:07] dominick: the wireless curently has an IP of 192.168.0.100 [05:07] I'd like to use whatever works ;-) [05:08] dominick: are you using the wifi now? [05:08] does anyone here uses a 32bit ubuntu whit more than 4GB of ram? does the PAE mode work fine? im wondering about adding more ram to my machine but i don't want to move to a 64bit install [05:08] yes actually [05:08] but I am getting 14 k/sec download speed - oy [05:08] GridCube, PAE should work fine, there are other advantages to 64bit beyond just ram though [05:09] GridCube: No, I have 4GB ram.. but I get more usable ram with PAE than I do with the regular kernel. [05:09] dominick: is it a usb wireless or an adapter which is part of a system? [05:09] GridCube, i have 32 gigs f ram in my 32 bit server and it uses and sees it all [05:09] GridCube: 32bit + PAE can access 12Gb RAM [05:09] Out of curiosity, what is the limit on RAM with PAE enabled? [05:10] I'm trying to get the adapter to work [05:10] to work better that is [05:10] the usb wireless I'm trying to ween off ;) [05:10] sorry 64Gb limit [05:10] Polah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [05:10] Hello I installed ubuntu, and I clicked on encrypt the homefolder [05:10] What does that mean? [05:10] because this adapter should be way faster, yes? [05:10] Hello I installed ubuntu, and I clicked on encrypt the homefolder. What does that mean?* [05:11] dominick: i see, the wired connections should be ok. the wireless hould be faster. Is there no native driver for it? [05:11] AlphaPsi, without your password your home directory is encrypted (unreadable) [05:11] Nobgul-bnc, really :D thats awesome [05:11] AlphaPsi: Your home folder will be encrypted and only accessible to your user account. You should've gotten a generated key to use in the event that you can't access your account. [05:11] AlphaPsi: if you take the drive out and put it in another system it wil be gibberish without your key to decode it [05:11] GridCube, yea we have another server with 64 gigs but i don't use that one much its not mine I just do upkeep on it. But it seems to run fine [05:11] I can download a Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 driver only ActionParsnip [05:11] I got the key and wwrote it down [05:12] dominick: there are often native drivers for wireless chips [05:12] how can I get rid of the encrpytion? Unless that's a bad idea [05:12] dominick: what is the output of: lsusb [05:12] that would be great - one sec [05:12] ok, thanks, i will buy the ram sticks then :D [05:12] AlphaPsi, it can be disabled but its probably easier just to create a new user who is not encrypted [05:12] AlphaPsi: Being a bad idea would depend on whether or not your want your data in there encrypted and what kind of data you're storing. [05:12] AlphaPsi, how bad it is only depends on your needs [05:12] AlphaPsi, not really a bad idea persay. If your doing bad things and want to try and hide it then yes encrypt otherwise meeh [05:12] I am unable to open the software sources. Synaptic -> Repositories, it tells me that things have change and I need to reload but even after reload it doesn't fix it. Reload gives me a GPG error [05:13] Here you go ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634007/ [05:14] Because I'm worried if I forget/lose the key and I need to access my data, is that a problem? [05:14] Yes it will be gone forever [05:14] Well unless your interested in crypto and cracking the encryption [05:14] dominick: strange its not listed, you sure it's usb based? [05:15] if you even can? its 1024 bit or something [05:15] anyone running phpbb [05:15] the current one I'm using is not usb based [05:15] Fudge, got a few installs running. not very popular sites but yea. [05:15] the slow one - the encore - is an adapter [05:15] AlphaPsi: if you want to access your data from live CD or another distro you will need to decrypt the data first [05:15] So how do I get rid of the encrpytion? I think I'd prefer just encrypting certain files with a password I choose [05:15] dominick: what is the ful make and model of the device please [05:16] Nobgul-bnc mind if i pm u [05:16] Im a java developer who's been using debian for 2 years. Im switching to a new company right now and they are using ubuntu! I know that ubuntu is based on debian, but wonder how big the differences are? what would look new for me? [05:16] AlphaPsi, you may want to look into truecrypt. [05:16] fudge go for it === gonzalo_g is now known as gmg_com [05:16] How do I get rid of the current encryption on my homefolder first though?

[05:17] I WAS using: Rosewill RNX-G1W IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless USB adapter (I think that's what the Realtek is?) - Just trying to get the Encore to work. [05:17] AlphaPsi, the easiest thing for you is to create a new user, copy what files you need over and then delete the encrypted user account. alternately you can copy the decrypted contents out to another folder, then logout (so that the ecryptfs fuse mount will be unmounted and copy the files back) === gmg_com_uy is now known as gmgcomuy [05:17] dominick: "PCI Adapter" ? [05:18] dominick: you said it was usb.. [05:18] could anyone please answer my question [05:18] AlphaPsi, the problem with the second approach is that some things will still think that the encrypted files should be mounted so that would require some cleanup... [05:18] ttiicc: for teh java development, not much at all [05:18] dominick: can you pastebin the output of: lspci thanks [05:18] sure [05:18] ttiicc: i think no big differences between them [05:18] ttiicc: if you can use debian, you shouldn't have any issues adapting to Ubuntu. [05:18] ok thanks guys! [05:18] anyone can help me with my wlan driver? [05:18] This user is completely new [05:19] So I don't have any files, since it's completely new [05:19] kouche_: what's the problem ? [05:19] hmmm... the problem is , after I installed unbuntu, when I click on the Windows 7 option, it won't boot into windows.. [05:19] ttiicc: Pretty much the same. They screwed up some things in Ubuntu, but you should be fine. You'll miss Debian though :/ [05:19] i have inspirion 4600 [05:19] So I don't have any files, since it's completely new.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [05:42] exit [05:42] uptime [05:42] tripelb: Wrong window. ;) [05:43] hello, when i use recordmydesktop and close a window while recording, later in the video it will still be open (desktop is not redrawn) how can i fix that? [05:45] something seems wrong. it took 9 minutes to boot, and to stat xchat with 2 servers, -6 channels hre, 5 there. (top showed xchat using 97%) [05:45] ActionParsnip: is there a ticket I can take to get in line? lol [05:45] hoping in 11.10 they get full compiz functionality back, so i can have the same desktop setup i have in 10.10. probably put 11.04 on the notebook though, since it uses netbook anyways [05:46] yuike: i dont attach / reattach screens so cannot help you dude, sorry. Maybe others can advise. If not then try a little later [05:46] wiesshund: how does it "use netbook"? [05:46] tripelb, cpu thermal throttling, mismatched software/library versions are a few i can think of [05:47] hello everyone [05:47] yuike, what is your problem? [05:47] ActionParsnip, ubuntu netbook edition (UNE) [05:47] hi BlazedSensei [05:48] wiesshund: There is no netbook edition after 10.10 [05:48] does anyone know why it asks me what application i want to open a hdd with? [05:48] Polah, did not say there was [05:48] yuike: ctrl a+ d, then screen -d -r [05:48] yuike: That'll force a resize. [05:48] wiesshund: Ive not seen a netbook edition iso for natty. Do you have a link? [05:49] should i mount it? [05:49] wiesshund: or do you mean unity? [05:49] Corey: oh cool, i'll try that now, thank you [05:49] yuike: The -d forces detatch from its old settings [05:49] ActionParsnip, hmm maybe i typed that bad, was saying i'd just put 11.04 on the netbook. it already uses UNE the unity works for that little screen [05:49] ActionParnsip: There isn't one, Canonical stopped with putting "edition" in the names, there's just 11.04 now, no specific editions for netbook and so on [05:50] k;a, how can I check the thermal stuff? 2004 dell. 10,04 pretty vanilla (xcaat all that is running, just booted up after days. been noticing the slowdown_ [05:51] tripelb, when you say thermal stuff do you mean temperatures? [05:51] !lm-sensors | tripelb [05:51] tripelb: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [05:51] if i check MD5 and SHA1 have i completed an entire checksum check? [05:51] Logan_, does that monitor GPU also? [05:52] pat201, there are others but those should be sufficient, yes. === head_ is now known as Guest26667 [05:52] ChaosSaber: I'm not positive. [05:52] !ipmi === Guest26667 is now known as head_v [05:52] Hmm. [05:52] if you have the old netbook interface then maybe but 11.04 by default uses unity, not netbook interface [05:52] my cpu temp is ok but my GPU is what scares me [05:53] ChaosSaber: Is it NVIDIA? [05:53] yeah but its got a dead internal fan [05:53] what are the other parameters i could check? and if so what programs could i use to check them? [05:53] !info nvidia-tools | ChaosSaber [05:53] ChaosSaber: Package nvidia-tools does not exist in natty [05:53] anyone familiar with ch (a c interpreter)? [05:53] ChaosSaber: Er, oops. [05:53] Logan_, I hotglued a fan to it lol [05:54] ChaosSaber: Try nvidia-settings - it apparently gives you the GPU temps. [05:54] Logan_, thanks for that, it does [05:54] I never even thought to look [05:55] ChaosSaber: cool :) [05:57] Corey: hmm that didn't seem to work, still not getting line breaks on reattach [05:57] does anyone know why it asks me what application i want to open a usb hdd? [05:58] Hello, after a "successful" (the program told so) Remastering of my system, I cannot see an ISO file in /home/remastersys/remastersys. Onluy custom.iso.md5 with 0kb. What has happened? have pasted the remasterlog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634025/ [05:58] yuike: Works fine here, and on every machine I can easily touch; what's running within screen? [05:59] <_cb> using ubuntu can I deploy a 'kiosk machine' that only runs firefox and only to a certain web site? If yes, how? [05:59] _cb: Sure, strip it way down. [06:00] <_cb> even stripped down I would have to disable closing firefox, minimizing windows,etc,etc [06:01] _cb: But restricting firefox would be interesting. [06:01] _cb: I didn't say it'd be easy. :-) [06:01] Logan_ knoppies or kla I installed it, answered yes.... got told this sudo sensors-detect ran it, found I dont have drivers. Looked at the web page for drivers, am baffled. STOP. [06:01] _cb: Could slap it onto its own vlan, and the only thing it's allowed to hit is a very restrictive squid proxy. [06:01] _cb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/kioskGnome [06:01] dell dimension 4600 [06:02] _cb: That being said, it's the sort of thing I'd probably outsource. :-) [06:02] _cb: or: http://calvinsohk.blogspot.com/2011/05/making-ubuntu-1104-as-kiosk-using.html [06:03] _cb: but that second one is for Chrome, if that matters [06:04] <_cb> Logan thanks. That is what I may be looking for. Did something like that on XP/Windows. Browser does not matter I just prefer Ubuntu over XP/IE [06:04] mmhm [06:04] can't blame you [06:05] this is my 4th day runnin ubuntu and it seems to be alot better then windows [06:06] Is there an equivalent of CTRL-F in Ubuntu for man pages or module documentation in terminal? [06:06] I need to search for a particular text. [06:06] Funkmaster7: /pattern [06:07] Corey: well my situation is I ssh into my ubuntu machine, then screen -d -r and my issue arises [06:08] Corey, for /patter do I need to do a regex or use keywords? [06:08] Funkmaster7: Play with it and see. [06:08] .. [06:08] hey hoo [06:08] Funkmaster7: After you've found the first instance, n is the next one, p is the previous one. [06:15] I've moved my mysql data dir and changed the conf in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to reflect the new path (applied same ownership and permissions as the original dir). Now when I try to access phpmyadmin it gives me #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server [06:17] Hey all. I'm having some weird trouble. I switched keyboards to a PS2 keyboard from a USB one I'd had that broke, and now my (USB) mouse refuses to work. [06:17] Any idea what I can do to fix it? [06:18] does it work in other usb ports? [06:18] Let me check right now. [06:18] ok [06:20] It does not. I did, however, get some exciting error mesages. "unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start: -62" [06:20] have you rebooted? [06:20] I've not. [06:21] This was a bit of a surprise - it worked fine before the keyboard switch. [06:21] I'll go ahead and reboot. brb [06:21] ok === Funkmaster7 is now known as KingFisher [06:24] hello again [06:24] I hard-booted and it works like a champ now. I think it may not have liked softbooting from Windows. [06:24] Thank you so much for your kind help. [06:24] I'm having installation issues with ubuntu 11.04. i loaded the iso onto a usb flash drive and when i try to install ubuntu onto my freshly wiped server, it just beeps and nothing happens.I'm literally at the install menu, and I hit enter on "Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk." Anyone know? [06:25] np, if you ever need help again come back and ill be happy [06:25] thanks again :) [06:25] shapeshiftr:you went to boot options and what? [06:26] shapeshifter does the screen turn black? [06:26] Nope [06:26] I literally plugged in the flash drive [06:26] turned on the computer [06:26] The Install Ubuntu menu appeared, as normal. [06:26] I scroll down to Install, and hit enter, and it just beeps and quickly flashes. [06:27] hi , the wine cannot install applications [06:27] beginners [06:27] It's like it can't recognize my HDD [06:27] can you run the livecd? [06:27] do you have any dvds [06:27] The CD drive is broken, so I'm stuck with flash drives. [06:28] but run it live [06:28] it doesn't recognize the CD drive for some reason. [06:28] Nah, running live on the USB doesn't work either. [06:28] I'm memtesting right now. [06:28] anyone have experience with wine? [06:29] the wine cannot install exe applications , why is that? [06:29] !wine | Al-Bawi [06:29] Al-Bawi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [06:30] i'm using Ubuntu server 10.04, I'm able to use smbclient to mount //hotname/sharename but when I try that in fstab is tells me "couldn't resolve" address. how do I get fstab to recognize smb names? [06:31] canthiswait, can you "ping hostname" successfully? You could use IP addresses instead. [06:32] ZykoticK9, I'm trying to avoid IP addresses since they are dynamic. smbclient //hostname works just fine but that same hostname in fstab says it couldn't resolve it. [06:33] May I simply delete directories in /home/me:)/.cache especially tracker, Mendeley Ltd. and Chromium, or is this a bad Idea? Will those programs be able to remake those directories "out of the box" later? [06:33] canthiswait: i don't think network is up while fstab is running [06:33] canthiswait, can you "ping hostname" successfully? [06:33] (I want to share my nearly unpersonel Installation using remastersys) [06:33] no, they are windows machine names [06:33] sorry: unpersonal [06:34] there is no way to to use those in fstab? [06:34] smbclient seems to deal with them fine [06:35] canthiswait, i think if you had DNS working for hostnames then you could, but if you can't ping by them, they aren't gonna work in fstab [06:35] is there some key combo to stop the unity bar auto hiding? i have it stuck on my screen atm :< [06:36] ZykoticK9, thanks, I'm guessing I'll have to assign static IPs on those machines [06:36] hmm, must be a bug. fix = drag an icon from desktop to bar and then remove it >.< [06:41] _ [06:41] /\) _ [06:41] _ / / (/\ [06:41] /\) ( Y) \ \ [06:41] / / "" (Y ) [06:41] Fishhhhhhy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:07] bronaugh: hardly appropriate [07:08] *shrug* and care, why? [07:08] I don't have anything to lose. [07:08] bronaugh: I suggest you upgrade to Lucid for support. Hardy is ONLY supported on the server [07:08] ActionParsnip: I suggest you try running modern Ubuntu and KDE4 on a machine with 256MB RAM [07:08] Lucid is nice after hardy [07:08] what do you guys use for IRC? [07:09] oh, hey chalcedony - fancy seeing you here.

Yes, it's a desktop. I think I initially installed xubuntu, then added ubuntu-desktop. [07:09] bronaugh: you could run fluxbox on 256Mb and it would run amazingly [07:09] ActionParsnip: I'm quite aware of that. having used most of them. [07:09] morth #xchat [07:09] bronaugh: join #ubuntu-offtopic [07:09] firstIRCtest: Hardy desktop is no longer supported [07:09] xchat seems pretty common hmm [07:10] there are reasons for that [07:10] ActionParsnip: its giving the same error cant mount cdrom [07:10] bronaugh: so you CAN run the latest Ubuntu releases on 256Mb RAM. 256Mb RAM is the minimum requirement [07:10] I know. I put 11.04 on the new partition. I'm going to blow this away when I get sound on the new partition. Hence, the question. I have sound working here. [07:10] souji: sounds like a bad burn or dodgey optical drive [07:10] Sorry, the las post was at ActionParsnip. [07:10] bronaugh: from #linuxhelp undernet ? [07:10] firstIRCtest: the newer versions use newer ALSA versions, should be ok [07:10] my emapthy crashes whenever i try to add a new account in irc..pls help [07:11] fuga, and other places [07:11] mostly there afaik. [07:11] babu__: empathy sucks [07:11] babu__: sudo apt-get install xchat [07:11] you guys may be asked this alot but, just curious why do YOU use ubuntu? [07:11] ActionParsnip I have run sudo alsamixer, and upped volume. No results. [07:11] babu__: sudo apt-get install pidgin [07:11] @morth:its fast [07:12] babu__: sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy [07:12] morth: I chat and web browse, ubuntu does that, why pay for an OS? [07:12] morth: I run Debian or Ubuntu depending on what I want to do. Ubuntu is a great OS in a can -- you pretty much spray it at computer, and it works. [07:12] morth:a LOT faster... [07:12] morth: I like Debian more where I want something robust. [07:12] babu__, pidgin is the best of them from what i've seen - but for irc xchat [07:12] ActionParsnip: Should I boot to the new partition to do some diag there? [07:12] that'll hold up and I can upgrade for year after year. [07:12] Ubuntu... fails, there. [07:12] sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy ---> what's that mean? [07:12] having to step through each version to upgrade is a joke. [07:12] bronaugh: its not a rolling release distro [07:12] babu__: remove empathy [07:12] hm makes sense [07:13] morth: im a developer, everywhere I've ever worked used some flavor of nix [07:13] morth, because it is just what i want...and far better than windows [07:13] i'm using empathy for chat... [07:13] anyhow, the machine I'm typing on is Ubuntu; so are the two laptops here. [07:13] firstIRCtest: burn the MD5 tested natty ISO as slowly as possible and you can boot and install from that, you will need to format the current partitions so that you can install Natty to the free space# [07:13] machines I install for people to use at work are invariably ubuntu. [07:13] morth: I've had to use windows a few times, and it is incredibly frustrating how bad it really is [07:13] servers are invariably debian. [07:14] !ot | bronaugh [07:14] bronaugh: #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! [07:14] i wish to continue to use empathy for chat [07:14] im more of a Windows user but i want to get more into using linux, i actually prefer ubuntu over win7 already and im a n00b at it i mean i get aggravated when i don't understand something but its quite enjoyable. [07:14] babu__: what is the output of: lsb_release -d Thanks [07:14] morth: that's what happened to me a little more than one year ago :) [07:14] babu__: why can't you? [07:14] bronaugh: I see just as many, if not more, CentOS servers as Debian [07:14] any tips i should learn now so i don't have to trial and error like you guys did when you guys were learning linux? [07:14] ubuntu 10.10 [07:15] morth: you'll learn with time [07:15] morth, always look for good tutorials and screencasts...they help a lot when u r new to linux/ubuntu [07:15] ot | noisewaterphd [07:15] babu__: so? what's the problem with ubuntu 10.10? [07:15] bronaugh: but I would agree it is almost always one of the 2 [07:15] babu__: and apt-cache policy empathy what version is installed? [07:15] noisewaterphd: #ubuntu-offtopic? [07:15] morth: i would recommend read to a book about linux [07:15] !manual | morth [07:15] morth: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [07:16] i should prob start with (dual screen) a firefox on 1 screen and only use the terminal to learn the commands rather than using the UI. [07:16] i didnt bring it up, i was commenting on a conversation that stemmed from someone asking why to use ubuntu [07:16] empathy: Installed: 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1 Candidate: 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1 Version table: *** 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1 0 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.32.0-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages [07:16] and he got a lot of good opinions i think [07:16] noisewaterphd, Still offtopic. [07:16] after upgrading to 11.04 my wifi no longer works... [07:16] that'll get me some practice forcing me to learn the commands to just use it. [07:16] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the responses...So don't know if I've been clear. I have ubuntu 11.04 alread installed on the other partition, and sound is not working. Are you recommending re-downloading the natty ISO, md5 checking the burned iso, and re-installing? [07:16] yep, but i was singled out [07:17] i get 'bad password' even though it hasn't changed. all i've done was upgrade to 11.04 [07:17] morth, yeah...actually you will prefer the shell over everything else after some time on linux^^ [07:17] noisewaterphd: to me debian's better because of the breadth of packages available in the repositories without frigging around. [07:17] and you will start getting aggressive when forced to use windows^^ [07:17] tanath: it may have to do with your keys [07:17] noisewaterphd, only thing that changed was distro upgrade [07:17] unfortuantly i play World of Warcraft and im serious on arenas that would prob draw me back to play my Win7 lol [07:17] tanath: delete the connection and then set it up again [07:17] mmk [07:17] other than that im trying to make linux my primary OS [07:18] though... i do have WoW working on linux right now haha [07:18] firstIRCtest: ahh i see, then boot to natty and run the same command there [07:18] Okay, thanks. [07:18] you know what, F--- IT im gunna be a fulltime linux user lol [07:18] bronaugh: I agree totally, I'm a Deb guy too, I was just pointing out what I see day to day [07:19] its so much faster, smoother and no viruses. [07:19] noisewaterphd: no disagreement here. [07:19] ActionParsnip: I'll be back in a while. [07:19] noisewaterphd, still not working :-/ [07:19] anyhow, aside from Ubuntu 8.04 being "unsupported" -- anyone else run across this problem? [07:19] morth: the great thing about Linux is that you can really take control of your machine [07:19] where logging in results in keyboard no longer working? [07:20] i hope someone help [07:20] noisewaterphd, spoke too soon... seems to have finally connected [07:20] tanath: great! [07:20] noisewaterphd i agree, i feel win7 is holding me back. [07:20] babu__: I did help you, I even gave you the exact commands to paste [07:21] i also believe win7 has way to many things running in the background i find linux problem free so far. [07:21] bronaugh: "unsupported" means just that. [07:22] Jordan_U: right because I'm sure this -never- happens on modern Ubuntu *snort* [07:22] are outside links allowed here? (youtube) [07:23] morth: there is a really great book that I always recommend to new *nix folks called Unix Power Tools. That book is a great start to learning the power of your new OS of choice [07:23] its topic related. [07:23] morth: ya if its on topic [07:23] noisewaterphd sweet, ill write that down. [07:23] bronaugh: 8.04 is not supported on the Desktop. This is not going to change. Please don't ask for support for an unsupported release. [07:24] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz6TVlo2xyw [07:24] Jordan_U: can I verbally abuse you? please? [07:24] is that a boot screen? if so.. i want that lol [07:24] !guidelines | bronaugh [07:24] bronaugh: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [07:26] did anyone check that link out? [07:26] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz6TVlo2xyw [07:26] is that a boot screen? [07:27] i wouldn't mind that if it is [07:31] noisewaterphd are you here? [07:31] i put an ssd in my macbook pro running ubuntu and boot time is almost non existant [07:31] !ping [07:31] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to respond to factoid requests. Call that job satisfaction? Because I don't. [07:31] hi, i'm trying to install ntfs-config for an old feisty installation [07:31] morth: No, as far as I know that's just an animation made for the ad. [07:31] i've added old-releases.ubuntu.com to my src.lst, but i can't find that pack [07:31] morth: ya I watched it, I've never seen that boot screen, but you can totally customize the boot screen to do whatever you want [07:31] alright, so i'm wondering if anyone else can install tor? i try installing vidalia and it cant find the tor executable (it's not in the default /usr/bin i checked) [07:32] morth: It might be possible to make a plymouth theme similar to that but it would likely be a lot of work. [07:32] noisewaterphd im looking up Unix Power Tools, and there are 3 editions does it matter which? [07:32] westz: I had no trouble installing vidalia === incubus is now known as Guest25758 [07:32] morth: i'd go for the latest [07:32] jordan_U true enough, would be nice to have though heh [07:33] noisewaterphd cool thanks [07:33] noisewaterphd, what release? (of ubuntu) [07:33] westz: in the bin folder of vidalia there is a startup script that launches a preconfiged firefox along with tor and vidalia [07:33] westz: 10.10 [07:34] as for torrents.. which would you recommend? [07:34] program wise [07:35] Hello, ive recently downloaded BeneathASteelSky , Its old DOS game, how would i go about removing music? I though i could do it, went digging through files and folders but cant find anything. ? [07:35] rtorrent if you like your CLIs [07:35] westz: App directory, not bin, sorry [07:35] !CLi [07:35] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [07:35] but i cant find the actual tor executable [07:36] or is that in the vidalia app directory to? (that'd be retarded) [07:36] westz: so just download, extract, put it wherever you want it, and launch the vidalia script from the comand line [07:36] actually thats what i was looking for - but for an IRC [07:36] any CLi IRCs? [07:36] westz: the tor executable is in the same directory, so launch from in that dir [07:36] irssi, morth :) [07:37] westz, or put that dir on your path [07:37] AlephHaz ty [07:37] setting the path in vidalia is no problem, it's just really weird that it didnt do all this automatically [07:38] do you think there is such thing as too much CLi progrmas? [07:38] Hello, ive recently downloaded BeneathASteelSky , Its old DOS game, how would i go about removing backround music? I though i could do it, went digging through files and folders but cant find anything. [07:38] ActionParsnip: You still here? [07:38] there's no such thing as too many, morth :P [07:40] Okay, well, I am trying to troubleshoot sound problems on 11.04. I ran a diag script that ActionParsnip sent. I think he's gone. Anyone want to help? [07:41] !irssi [07:41] irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen [07:41] Anyone takers? [07:42] firstIRCtest: did you check with alsamixer that your channels are not muted? [07:42] (or pavucontrol will do afaik as well) [07:42] How do I find out what service is running on a specific port? [07:43] susaunderberg: yes, I ran alsamixer and adjusted the volume. That has been the problem for me before, but it's not doing it this time. [07:43] trying to remove backround music from a dos game , need help ^^ === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [07:43] Zimsky: lsof [07:43] hi [07:43] hi [07:43] i am waked up already [07:43] Zimsky: netstat [07:43] heh, thats good [07:44] firstIRCtest: if you had sound before, try to do the same after a soft restart :) [07:45] pksadiq: I have an ubuntu 8.04 partition on this very same machine that has sound. This 11.04 partition has no sound. I'm not sure what the difference could be. [07:45] pksadiq: I just restarted. [07:45] firstIRCtest: lots of things has changed, starting from kernel and stopping to pulseaudio [07:45] did you have sound at some point with this 11.04 = [07:46] I have never had sound on 11.04 [07:46] !sound [07:46] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [07:47] Trying to compile imapfilter, when I run `make` in the git repo, I get the error "lua.h not found". I did a "locate lua.h" and saw that it is present at "/usr/include/lua5.1/lua.h". Any ideas on what I might be missing? [07:47] susunderberg, pksadiq: The output from the script is at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=eead788180f10793b83a851722c94f7ab9a34baf [07:47] firstIRCtest: clean /tmp then check ps -aux and kill evrything not needed then check lsmod etc [07:47] !find lua.h [07:47] File lua.h found in autoconf-archive, conky-all, conky-std, gnuplot-doc, ipe, liblua40-dev, liblua5.1-0-dev, liblua50-dev, libluabind-dev, libluajit-5.1-dev (and 15 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=lua.h&mode=&suite=natty&arch=any [07:47] anyone who has vidalia working properly tell me the path for their tor executable? [07:47] firstIRCtest: that link that pksadiq pasted is good, check that. Also, if you have several outputs you might want to try 'pavucontrol' program to specify what to use [07:48] does anyone know much about dual screening? [07:48] westz: hang on, I'll pastebin some instructions for you [07:48] Hi all, I realize I can modify fstab, but I remember ubuntu having a GUI utility to manage mount points and even a dialog that would ask if I wanted a partition mounted every startup - anyone know where I can find this? [07:48] firstIRCtest: i am not too keen to check the script output as if the card worked on 10.04 it should by all means work also on 11.04 if this is not regression, that i do not belive it is. [07:48] pksadiq: I have both liblua5.1-0-dev and liblua5.1-0 installed (am running maverick) [07:49] firstIRCtest: tried running /usr/bin/esd ? [07:49] <- using 10.10 [07:49] susunderburg: Okay. [07:49] pksadiq: let me try. [07:49] sharat87: Why are you compiling imapfilter from source? [07:49] noisewaterphd, i know how it works, something's got an error somewhere. if your tor is in /usr/bin then something borked when i installed vidalia, if its not, i just need the tor executable [07:50] *i just need to redirect vidalia [07:51] Jordan_U: to use it? wait, is there a package? [07:51] pksadiq: what is /usr/bin/esd, and how is it run? [07:51] every time when i boot ubuntu, it says "Error loading Drive /.Press I to ignore".... But after booting, it mounts all drives.. [07:51] westz: tor and vidalia executables are in the same directory together in the extracted folder from the archive you downloaded. there is nothing in usr/bin. I am pastebin you directions on how to set up your path [07:51] i dunno the problem [07:51] help! [07:51] sharat87: Yes. Named "imapfilter". [07:51] westz, but if you dont want it, ive got other stuff to do [07:51] firstIRCtest: that is it kill it [07:51] archive i downloaded from? i didnt download it myself, i used the USC [07:52] Jordan_U: yes found, it sorry. Its at 2.2.2, latest is at 2.2.3. it has a change I'd like to have... so I have to compile it :) [07:52] !prevu | sharat87 [07:52] sharat87: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [07:52] what shld i do for this pblm [07:52] westz, well that is wrong [07:53] i'll check out what you pastebin, but i dont think we're on the same page [07:53] westz, are you running 64bit or 32? [07:53] 32 [07:53] westz: download it here: https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/linux/tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-1.1.11-dev-en-US.tar.gz and extract it to wherever you want it [07:54] i thought i left compiling from source when i left Arch.... oh well...... [07:55] !tor | westz [07:55] westz: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is not in Ubuntu's repositories. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [07:55] westz, you arent compiling anything [07:55] ubottu: Checking links...

[08:07] This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

[08:20] cpgo: I guess it would depend on the engine [08:20] noisewaterphd, ntfs [08:20] this distro blows [08:21] lol [08:21] hey guys but VNC free edition does not provide the feature to share on windows 7 [08:21] ^ intelligent [08:21] pratz: did you see the link I sent you [08:21] cpgo: cause that is where the issue lies. there is some problem with mysql on linux reading from ntfs [08:21] cpgo: dont remember the specifics [08:22] cpgo, noisewaterphd wel googling gave me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3524203/linux-mysql-how-to-use-a-mysql-databases-on-a-mounted-ntfs-as-mysql-database-in [08:22] will ubuntu ever release an Arch based spin instead of the lame debian based ones? [08:22] noisewaterphd, ok I just copied the datadir to my desktop (in Ubuntu) [08:22] same issue [08:22] what is the error [08:22] trevorj: hold a sec i am installing it [08:22] phpmyadmin shows no tables [08:23] !ot | cowboy_dan [08:23] cowboy_dan: #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! [08:23] you could make an ext3 in the ntfs? [08:23] cpgo: your datadir should be portable, but trying to read it from the ntfs system is a road I wouldnt travel [08:24] cpgo: if you look in the datadir are they there? [08:24] cpgo: you can make a ext3/4 in the ntfs to store the data [08:24] Hi, my pc does not boot from a SD Card, I have brought a Remastersys ISO on in with the startmedium creator. He boots from Harddrive instead. My PC can boot from SD and 30 minutes ago, it did. Then I had a "normal" Ubuntu 10.10 Iso on this SD Card. What can I do to find out, what the problem is? [08:24] anyone know how to make empathy work? [08:24] noisewaterphd, yea my tables are in the datadir [08:24] in ubuntu8.04 [08:24] cpgo: permissions then [08:24] the datadir is now on a ext4 filesystem [08:25] cpgo: get a verbose startup log and pastebin it [08:25] ok let me go through it all again [08:25] when login as "ubuntu classic",title bar for windows is not coming. what may be the problem? [08:25] cpgo: also, you should take this to #mysql, I'll meet you over there [08:25] noisewaterphd, ok [08:26] balaji_: Do you have Compiz setting in effect, and/or Emerald themes? [08:26] how to install TWM? [08:26] balaji_: that question needs to be rephrased, it does not make sense [08:26] balaji_, you need to have a WM (I assume its your WM) running. I use emerald (with compiz) on 10.10, not sure what to use on 11.04 [08:26] Jordan_U: how to install TWM? [08:26] noisewaterphd, I think the question was fine. Do you understand what a title bar is? [08:26] hello, anyone knows how to install a backend for each protocol for empathy? [08:27] no man, I have no idea [08:27] would it be a bar where titles are? [08:27] kelvinella, if you "apt-get empathy" doesnt it resolve dependencies? [08:27] noisewaterphd, yes, and the 3 buttons minimize, maximize, and close. [08:27] HOW TO INSTALL TWM?!!! [08:28] starmin: i installed faenza theme, when using "ubuntu classic(no effects)" menu bar displays correctly [08:28] noisewaterphd:sorry its menu bar [08:28] title bar for windows are not coming? coming from where? title bars for what windows? all windows? [08:28] balaji_: Oh, you mean the one with "File, Edit, Tools," etc? [08:28] cowboy_dan: Please don't use all caps. [08:28] starminn:yeah [08:28] aha, see now we make sense [08:28] cowboy_dan, relax, You could do yourself a favour by googling it, if twm is a package, then you could try "apt-get install twm" but idk what twm is. [08:28] Jordan_U: please help [08:28] noisewaterphd, how would I get a verbose startup? [08:29] knoppies: tittled window manager [08:29] cowboy_dan: I don't use TWM. [08:29] balaji_, then my help with compiz/emerald would probably be of no use to you. [08:29] cowboy_dan: http://tinyurl.com/3vl9q9u [08:29] Jordan_U: what? is something wrong with it? [08:29] noisewaterphd:sorry for my wrong phrase. [08:30] cowboy_dan: Not that I know of. I just haven't had any interest in it myself. [08:30] hello, how to change encoding in gedit? I failed to find this option. thanks. I used to using kate/kwrite, encoding change is very easy in kate/kwrite. [08:30] knoppies:no problem [08:31] balaji_: no worries man. I was going after whoever it was passively insulting me by pretending the question was crystal clear. You are perfectly good man, and the question is now clear [08:31] noisewaterphd: you very kind [08:31] and funny [08:32] Hi, I've setup conky on startup, but it appears on top of all windows, its quite annoying, how do I fix it? Thanks :) [08:32] thrillERboy: change you conkyrc [08:32] cowboy_dan, what exactly should I change? I'm new to this stuff [08:33] cat ~/.conkyrc | grep window [08:33] noisewaterphd, hey its 1 in the morning here, gonna call it a day. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the help. [08:33] thrillERboy: should see own window type somewhere [08:33] change it to desktop, or overridde, or something that it isn't right now [08:34] cpgo: good luck, good night, were in the same time zone, MST? [08:34] noisewaterphd:fine [08:35] I don't see .conkyrc in user directory, I only have .conky directory under user directory [08:35] hey guys. Every time I try to boot my ubuntu I get "failed to get i915 symbols". I've googled for the last hours and I found a few solutions but they all assume I can boot ubuntu, unfortunately I cant ... [08:35] Jacek1988: do you have multiple window managers installed [08:35] thrillERboy: pastebin it for me mate [08:36] like kubuntu and gnome and windowmaker? [08:36] .conky lets take a look at it [08:36] Jacek1988: What version of Ubuntu? Have you tried booting into recovery mode? (hold shift during boot to get the grub menu with recovery mode option). [08:36] the newest one [08:37] 11.X [08:37] ok, I will try with shift [08:37] thrillERboy: bro....pastebin whatever your conky config file is [08:37] it should be conkyrc [08:37] cowboy_dan, I've found own_window desktop in my config file and set it to desktop, Now My icons on desktop are gone :D should I do something with "own_window_type override" Now? [08:38] yeah try that [08:38] what options does own_window_type take? [08:38] thrillERboy: i use openbox so i don't have to worry about eating desktop icons [08:38] * thrillERboy googles openbox [08:39] @noise. I haven't installed any windowmaker myself, but maybe that was installed by default ?\ [08:39] thrillERboy: own_window_type [08:39] if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock, panel or override (default: normal). Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop edge, just like panels and taskbars, preventing maximized windows from overlapping them. The edg [08:39] e is chosen based on the alignment option. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.

[08:49] topriddy: If the Windows PBR is broken the only way to boot Windows from grub is by fixing the Windows PBR (*There is an undocumented work around as well if you really need it but fixing it properly is a better option). [08:49] AFD, you mean other than just deleting the files? [08:49] whats avg... [08:49] yeah - I think there's more to it than that [08:49] ejv, its a windows based antivirus. [08:49] eww [08:49] sgo11: than install kate [08:49] Would someone try to reproduce a bug for me? I open LibreOffice Base, create a table and a form and when editing the form, I'm not able to select Controlelements as a visible toolbar [08:50] antivirus? we dont need no stinkin antivirus! [08:50] somestrangerinan: do you want this to be a linux based set up still? [08:50] ejv, he was trying to 'remove' it [08:50] topriddy: For restoring the Windows PBR: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [08:50] pratz: what are you trying to do again? [08:50] AFD, could you not boot up the partition and then uninstall it using the traditional means? [08:50] it was a joke, s/antivirus/badges/g [08:50] yes cow [08:50] ejv: I'm a linux user (ElementaryOS) but the doofus I'm trying to help isn't (yet) [08:50] hi, does anyone know of a good light rss reader for ubuntu, that can be partially transparent and just float on top of your other applications with out getting in the way? yarssr is the least intrusive rss reader i've been able to find so far. [08:50] yes cowboy_dan [08:50] cowboy_dan, thanks for the suggestion. actually, I just did. the bad thing is to install kate, actually i install kde. it's too much for me just because I want to use a better editor...... [08:51] knoppies: avg is the reason I can't boot that hdd [08:51] AFD, what is elementaryOS like? It looked like it had lots of potential. [08:51] somestrangerinan: you'll have better luck with this in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org --> not as noisy [08:51] thanks cowboy_dan [08:51] knoppies: it's stopping (even when trying in "safe mode") on a file that looks like it's avg [08:52] knoppies: eOS is great :) give it a whirl on liveUSB sometime... and look out for the new release Luna [08:52] pratz: http://digg.com/news/story/Remote_Desktop_for_Linux [08:52] Anyone care to try and reproduce my bug? ...it'll take a minute or so.. [08:53] hi... [08:53] AFD, interesting, didnt know it could prevent you from booting. Try move (as in cut) the files from their installed location, and keep them somewhere else. Then see if it will boot. Normally un-installing makes a few changes to the registry, I am not sure if there are any linux registry editors, but you could try search for AVG (and other related keywords) in that registry. [08:53] somestrangerinan: #pimpmymint might be even better [08:53] soon: If you walk me through how I'd be mroe than happy to do so. I have created a table and a form, but what about controlelemnts? I know nothing about Base. [08:53] Hey everyone. Anyone know of a way to sync Chromium bookmarks with Ubuntu One? [08:53] oui [08:53] knoppies: I'll give it a go - thanks - good advise [08:53] interesting room name cowboy_dan [08:53] advice* [08:53] I have a folder containing a lot of debs and I'm looking for a way to know the license of each one, can you help me? [08:54] Starminn : try to get it to display a toolbar for control-elements [08:54] somestrangerinan: linux mint has a sense of humor [08:54] lol [08:54] @Jordan_U: thanks anyway for help. It seems that without access to recovery mode I cannot even run the console so the only way is to reinstall the system ... next time I will have to use GIT to my ruby projects [08:54] Starminn: Click View, the toolsbars and wing-off control-elements [08:54] CajunTechie: Vous de la Louisiane? [08:55] cowboy_dan: Non, je ne suis pas là aujourd'hui. Mais je suis né et a grandi là-bas. Que diriez-vous? [08:55] \quit [08:55] Any luck?

[08:56] Whenever I run apt-get, I get an error message: "WARNING: /usr/share/pyshared/papyon-0.4.6.egg-info is linked but does not belong to any package." I tried apt-get --reinstalling python-papyon, with no luck. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this error message? [08:56] checking for OPENSSL... no [08:56] configure: error: Package requirements (openssl) were not met: [08:56] No package 'openssl' found [08:56] Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you [08:56] installed software in a non-standard prefix.

[08:56] and OPENSSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. [08:56] cowboy_dan: Very cool. Good to meet another Louisianian :D [08:57] Jacek1988: You can use chroot from a LiveCD to run commands as if you were booted into the installed system. [08:57] I am looking for an unattended Ubuntu installation. I found preseed and FAI. FAI sounds more interesting, especially preseed does not seem to support reusing of partitions. On the other hand the preseed method is easy to setup. Does FAI work well with Ubuntu? [08:57] CajunTechie: yeah few and far between, saw someone on #! forums from covington and laughed my but off [08:57] No sound. No joy. No sleep. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow. [08:57] soon: I don't see that as an option: http://imagebin.org/160362 [08:57] Er, should I re-ask my question since it was spammed up twenty lines? [08:57] jfcaron, maybe. You could wait a little while if you want. [08:57] Hi, my pc does not boot from a SD Card, I have brought a Remastersys ISO on in with the startmedium creator. He boots from Harddrive instead. My PC can boot from SD and 30 minutes ago, it did. Then I had a "normal" Ubuntu 10.10 Iso on this SD Card. What can I do to find out, what the problem is? [08:57] i still see it jfcaron :p [08:57] CajunTechie: looks like they want us in #ubuntu-fr [08:58] Jurdan_U: even if I installed ubuntu using wubi ? (or sth called like that) [08:58] Starminn - must be the one called Form controls ... my interface is in danish :-) [08:58] stefan_, I have never managed to boot from an SD card (I mainly got IO errors I think). [08:58] jfcaron: Wait a little longer. This channel moves fast so don't worry about it being that far up. Wait until it jumps again of equal distance [08:58] could someone help? i'm trying to install rtorrent and im getting an error when i try to ./configre "http://paste.ubuntu.com/634097/" [08:58] cowboy_dan looks like it doesn't it? [08:59] anyone knows how to extract the license from a deb package? [08:59] morth: do you have openssl installed? [08:59] cowboy_dan, That worked perfectly, wondering what you changed, I didn't want you to bug you asking that, So, I tried diff conkyrc_lunatico conkyrc_lunatico.old. The output is not what I expected. How can I view diff between two files in terminal, Kinda like diff in Git. Thanks [08:59] knoppies, well, should I give it a try on DVD? I have a dozen here [08:59] didn't want to bug you* [08:59] ejv im new to ubuntu, so im assuming i don't [08:59] thrillERboy: all i did was change the window type to override and deleted the line for own_window_hints [08:59] morth: sudo apt-get install openssl [09:00] furibondox, no, but I assume that there might be something in dpkg (you could also try apt-cache). I recommend you man them both and see if there is something that will give you 'more info' [09:00] oh great, thanks a ton cowboy_dan [09:00] Reading package lists...

[09:00] furibondox, alternatively, you could try open it up using an archive viewer (I am not sure what a .deb package really is) [09:00] tnx knoppies, I try with apt-cache [09:00] Hi all [09:00] soon: That option does nothing [09:00] ok [09:00] morth: show some respect to the channel, don't flood for christ's sake lol [09:00] morth, PLEASE, learn how to use a pastebin. [09:00] ejv seems i already have that installed [09:00] thrillERboy: no problem if you ever need help find MrCleanWithHair (thats the me when I'm not trolling in #ubuntu) [09:01] Starminn .. thats what I'm finding .. weird. [09:01] Not just my installation then - thanks! [09:01] stefan_, you mean ubuntu, yes, go for it. Before you do, Is the ISO on your SD card just a .iso file, or has it been unpacked onto the root of the partition? [09:01] morth: if you are compiling and it's complaining about openssl, then it wants developer libraries, $ sudo apt-get install openssl-devel [09:02] E: Unable to locate package openssl-devel [09:02] fagbuntu [09:03] morth, ejv has a point. I have recently learnt that you should install the -dev of the package. try openssl-dev (or use apt-cache search openssl) [09:03] !find openssl-dev [09:03] Found: libglobus-openssl-dev, libcurl4-openssl-dev [09:03] it might be called openssl-dev not openssl-devel, i really have no idea, i don't use ubuntu [09:04] Hi, How Do I view Diff between two text files in Terminal? [09:04] knoppies & ejv E: Unable to locate package openssl-dev [09:04] just learn to troubleshoot [09:04] morth try libglobus-openssl-dev [09:04] Whenever I run apt-get, I get an error message: "WARNING: /usr/share/pyshared/papyon-0.4.6.egg-info is linked but does not belong to any package." I tried apt-get --reinstalling python-papyon, with no luck. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this error message? [09:04] i think he has a repo problem [09:04] what repo's do you have enabled morth [09:04] jfcaron, you could try purge and then install it again, but tbh, I have no idea. [09:04] if you can't answer that, fire up synaptic, and located openssl dev that way ;) [09:05] knoppies that worked [09:05] s/located/locate/ [09:05] morth, come back if it does not solve your ./configure problem. [09:05] oh so knoppies gets all the credit huh? fine! :p [09:05] ejv, you didnt highlight his name. THANK YOU. [09:06] and thank you pksadiq for finding the package. [09:06] highlighting is overrated :p [09:06] jfcaron: try sudo dpkg --configure -a [09:07] im willing to bet rtorrent is packaged into a nice pretty .deb somewhere... which begs the question... why on earth is he bothering to compile it... [09:07] !find rtorrent [09:07] Found: rtorrent [09:07] knoppies: After apt-get purging python-papyon, I still got the error afterwards, and the file mentioned still exists (along with some dpkg scripts). Do you think I can just rm the leftover files? [09:07] !info rtorrent [09:07] rtorrent (source: rtorrent): ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent from rakshasa.

[09:08] pksadiq: Running that command seemed to do nothing, there was no output. [09:08] ejv you get credit too :p [09:08] jfcaron: k, also try sudo apt-get install -f [09:08] morth: ok install that [09:09] morth, now you need to find the -dev of sigc++ [09:09] how can I print my server name on cli?

[09:10] rtorrent apparently [09:10] dr_Willis, you mean morth? rtorrent I think. [09:10] morth: try asking ubottu for the packages, mostly its better to get the compiled thing you need [09:10] knoppies, I made a Startmedium with the Startmediumcreater. That should "transform" the CD Card to a bootable Medium. Well, it should :D [09:10] morth, unless you HAVE to compile it, it might be easier to do apt-get install rtorrent [09:10] !info rtorrent > morth [09:10] its in the repos.. or use the build-deps option to pull in all needed devs [09:10] that would be too easy [09:11] :) [09:11] dr_Willis, what build-deps option? [09:11] apt-get build-deos rtorrent [09:11] oopd typo [09:11] apt is fun [09:11] dr_Willis, thank you. I learnt something today. [09:11] when using "ubuntu classic",menu bar is not displaying.. what may be the problem? if it was the problem in my system,how can i reinstall gnome [09:12] the fact iys in the repos makes life easier [09:12] dr_Willis, I have been trying to create a local repo of some files I downloaded from a server and then copied to my machine. Little luck. apt is very fun. [09:12] okay, sorry what? [09:12] hi, for photo browser, I used to gthumb. I am wondering if there is any better one now? thanks. [09:13] rtorrent ppa ptobrly exisys also [09:13] morth do you HAVE to compile rtorrent from scratch? If yes, then try apt-get build-deps rtorrent [09:13] lmao, im new to ubuntu i installed it this morning, and the "guide" from the net says to do ./configure and such but fails lol [09:14] knoppies, pksadiq: After doing some unremembered combination of commands (including moving the offending file to a temporary location), the error message is now gone. [09:14] how do I ping an ip range (to find all machines online (or at least all IPs online). sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254 doesnt seem to do anything. [09:14] jfcaron, glad we could help. I hope we haven't broken anything else on your machine. [09:14] I think the egg-info file was leftover from an old version (4.6) while the current version is 4.8, so reinstalling did nothing, because it just reinstalled the new version. =p [09:14] knoppies stupid question but how do i KNOW if i HAVE to compile it or not? [09:15] morth: then you dont [09:16] what do i do then?.. :s [09:16] morth: you need to compile from source if you are useing a non default build, i.e. inserting anything into rtorrent [09:16] morth, if you dont know, then you probably dont have to. Reasons for compiling (over just installing a pre-compiled binary) would be things like: newer version, or a plugin, or some functionality that they did not include in the compiled binary. I think you should try apt-get install rtorrent [09:16] why havent you just used the version in the repos. [09:16] morth: sudo apt-get install rtorrent [09:16] knoppies: you forgot sudo :P [09:16] morth: The only times I've ever had to compile something were when there was no package available in the repositories. [09:16] lonix, thanks. [09:16] its not like a new version has a lot of new features [09:17] moslty the precompiled bin will work just fine... [09:17] lols... rtorrent is already the newest version. [09:17] does that mean its already installed? :s [09:18] yes [09:18] morth: so run it.. [09:18] read its docs first [09:18] you do relize rtorrent is a cli app [09:19] i dont know rtorrent in particular, but i presume the docs will help you create a config file for later use ? [09:19] rtorrent is not very beginner frienfly. why are you even wantint it? [09:20] dr_willis yes i do realize rtorrent is a CLi app, even though my skills are beginner im hoping its going to improve my overall skills with ubuntu etc. [09:20] is this a ubuntu server or desktop ? [09:20] desktop [09:20] #stumpwm [09:20] torrent some bash guides.. heh.. [09:20] hehe [09:20] dr_Willis: By the way, my Banshee issue lately with the errors? It was solved using what's on the bottom of this page (for future reference if other people experience the same) [09:20] dr_Willis: YOU are having *alot* of experience, but still along many typos :-O [09:21] actually my first torrent was going to be Unix Power Tools [09:21] pksadiq: im on my android phone [09:21] still not found a good bt keybord for it [09:22] dr_willis how do i run it? [09:22] Im still waiting for Ubuntu 11.04 Phone Edition [09:22] or even an affordable one [09:22] "the Ultimate replacment for android" [09:22] morth: man rtorrent [09:22] nevermind figured it out lol "rtorrent run" [09:23] with rtorrent you Will read the docs. or give up using it. heh.. [09:24] its homepage hss guides also [09:24] ill stick with transmission [09:25] hello [09:25] hp touchpad is 1080p after all. Ill get one and give the Xoom to the wife. WebOS is seriously so cool, it will be very serious competition for Android and iOS [09:25] everyone, thanks for the help :p [09:25] ada orang indo nya ga ni [09:26] No problem morth [09:27] how can i use " in sed ? [09:28] lonix: sed 's/"/that was a quote/g' [09:28] hello [09:28] /" \" [09:28] i get them backeards [09:29] sed 's/$/\"/' [09:29] should work ? [09:29] i was wondering where Empathy puts the conversation logs in the last ubuntu [09:30] lonix: Yes, though the '\' is redundant. [09:30] Jordan_U: do you have a few mins to check out a simple script, im having troubble with ? [09:31] lonix: I need to leave in about 2 minutes but post a link to a pastebin of the script and someone else will likely be able to help. [09:31] darshan: what do you mean by in the last ubuntu? [09:31] see http://goo.gl/TAyvJ [09:32] any one here working on openerp? [09:32] Pastes to http://goo.gl/ixcN9 [09:32] Jordan_U: kk [09:32] e mean 11.04 [09:32] http://pastebin.com/n9PL73vR [09:32] darshan: can't you see that in settings? [09:32] Hello!!:) [09:32] This script seems to work perfectly untill it encounters folders with " " space in its name [09:32] vivekimsit: working on? or using? [09:32] vivekimsit: what is your real question? :) [09:33] I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop [09:33] hm..actually i want technical assistance [09:33] in coding part.. [09:33] OssNassr: what seems to be the problem ? [09:33] epzil0n, no, i did not find it [09:33] vivekimsit: do they not have a channel? [09:33] which is ASUS X61SL with Intel Core 2duo p8400 processor [09:33] hey [09:33] !enter | OssNassr [09:33] OssNassr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:33] but i can't make it run after the installation is complete [09:34] they have but i can hardly 9 people [09:34] darshan: ok, should be there.. i'm not in ubuntu now so can't check but i can log into ubuntu and have a look === botus is now known as GNUdog [09:34] is there a way to view the processes that are running [09:35] vivekimsit: its probably wrong place to ask here, this is really for ubuntu support. [09:35] lonix: 1: It should be "#!/bin/bash" not "!/bin/sh". 2: Use find's -exec feature to completely replace the for loop. [09:35] kiichiro, ps ax [09:35] kiichiro: type top in a terminal [09:35] hmm..i know [09:35] lonix: You can get more help in ##bash as well. Good luck. [09:35] OssNassr: what do you mean it wont work ? can you be any more spesific [09:35] Jordan_U: cheers ;) [09:35] inorder to make the live CD starts or to run the installtion I had to use the advanced option acpi=off but I can't tell the system after being installed to work [09:35] is there a way to stop a process than? [09:36] kiichiro: yes by it's PID you see it with top [09:36] like is it stop ##### [09:36] inorder to make the live CD starts or to run the installtion I had to use the advanced option acpi=off but I can't tell the system after being installed to work [09:36] or is it kill [09:36] kiichiro: then type: kill 1234 [09:36] mkay thank you very much [09:37] acpi=off was set in the boot loader for the live cd ? [09:38] any idea? [09:38] darshan: looking.. [09:38] OssNassr: In that case, tyr booting Ubuntu with the same option, in the bootloader for the local driver where you have ubuntu installed [09:38] Hi, I installed 'eggrop' via apt-get... where would this of installed, so I can locate the .conf? thanks. [09:39] epzil0n, thanks [09:39] How? [09:40] OssNassr: Same way you did for livecd, or am i missing something here ? [09:40] darshan: can't see it in settings, only that you can enable/disable the logging [09:40] woot using rtorrent like a pro ;) [09:40] morth: good... [09:41] how do you change folder's permission to: drwxrwxr-x 33 nobody nobody 1122 Jun 27 17:20 templates_c ??? [09:41] epzil0n, foud it! /home/darshan/.local/share/TpLogger/logs/ [09:41] it's chown? [09:41] darshan: hehe, i was just digging in the home dir.. great =) [09:41] glaksmono_: chown = change owner chgrp = change grou chmod = change mod [09:42] In live CD I clicked the arrow keys and a menu appeared there I found the other option choice (key F6) and I used it ,I tried with the system after it got installed by pressing 'e' inorder to modify the booting options but It didn't work [09:42] glaksmono_: chown can cange group as well i.e.: chown user:group file/folder [09:42] what a awful format! xml... === KindOne is now known as MeanOne [09:43] darshan: yeah i'm looking at it ;) [09:43] glaksmono_: chmod root:admin templates_c [09:43] okay, so in my /etc/hosts file I have a bunch of lines 127.0.0.1 [domain name]. Now, the domain name of the topmost line of that type is reflected in my POST data when I visit websites it seems [09:44] POST['SERVER_NAME'] [09:44] according to django at least [09:44] this makes my POST["TZ"] as Chicago for some reason [09:44] OssNassr: what happend when you presed e [09:45] ok, i also need a decent dictionary utility (not a spellcheck) there was a good one some version ago [09:45] Есть кто на русском бачит? [09:45] darshan: elementary uses purple [09:45] I have installed ubuntu server (the LTS version, Im not sure if its 10.04) on an old machine. the hostname of the machine is safn. I cannot seem to do safn.local (but typing in the IP works). Does anybody know how to fix this (I have apache installed, if that makes a difference) [09:46] knoppies: how does you /etc/hosts look like [09:46] lonix, let me check. [09:46] darshan: but they will move to Lingo.. anyways elementary os builds upon ubuntu so they probably work [09:47] knoppies: check /etc/hostname while your at it [09:47] lonix, I almost pasted it in here, let me pastbin it. [09:47] after the installation was compeleted I restarted the laptop as instructed the when it came to boot it didn't and I wated for ours ,so I used the power button to shutdown the laptop and then started it again then it gave me a menu with for option : normal startup ,recovery mode,and two options about memory testing so I selected the first option and pressed 'e' to edit the boot parameters and inserted acpi=off then I pressed 'F10' b [09:48] hours [09:48] four [09:48] anyone know if its possible to convert your cookies/history/saved passwords from Windows Firefox to Ubuntu? [09:48] morth: Just use Firefox Sync.. [09:49] lonix, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/634126/ [09:49] OssNassr: What next ? [09:49] starminn is that just Firefox inmport/export? === MeanOne is now known as EvilOne [09:49] hi, my pc is restarting after loading the initrd / ramdisk file, any clue how to fix that? [09:50] nothing just black screen with flashing white pointer and it didn't go or change [09:50] knoppies: you are trying to mage safn.local refer to self right ? [09:50] morth: Mozilla gives you all your bookmarks, history, and probably saved passwords (though probably not cookies) from your other account, yeah. From there of course you can export to Chrom/ium or whatever you like [09:50] lonix, I dont know what you mean by mage, I want to be able to type in safn.local on a machine on the LAN and get that machine (I can do it for my two laptops) [09:51] knoppies: make* [09:51] hii [09:51] I accidently deleted my movie files [09:51] lonix, that way I can ssh username@safn.local or type in safn.local into a browser and get the apache web server (at port 80 by default) [09:51] can I recover them anyway [09:51] it happened just now [09:51] amit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:51] lonix, yes. let me see what the /etc/hosts file looks like on my laptop, maybe changing 127.0.0.1 to safn might help. [09:52] epzil0n, ? [09:52] knoppies: no [09:52] darshan: software center got a bunch of them, just search dictionary.. donno which one is good tho, i use purple in elementary os ;) [09:52] lonix, my laptop has this at the top of the /etc/hosts file: 192.168.101.111 klap # Added by NetworkManager [09:52] lonix, klap being the hostname. It also has these: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [09:53] darshan: didn't find it software center, purple that is [09:53] knoppies: so lets se you have 2 hosts, klap and safn right ? and you want to type safn.local from klap ? [09:53] can I recover them anyway [09:53] epzil0n, you might be looking for libpurple? [09:53] lonix, yes. [09:54] lonix, I can type in klap.local on safn. [09:54] knoppies: on safn edit /etc/hosts and add this line [09:55] knoppies: ip.of.safn safn.local [09:55] knoppies: no, purple is a dictionary in elementary os.. but if you check their site it says Lingo [09:55] amit depends on your filesystem [09:55] lonix: are you there? [09:55] amit: what filesystem were those movies on? ext4? ntfs? fat32? [09:56] knoppies: arrgh to much noise here... [09:56] knoppies: so i'm guessing that they will move to Lingo with future release [09:56] OssNassr: sorry, yes... [09:56] knoppies: http://elementaryos.org/discover [09:56] OssNassr: Try useing the recovery feature [09:56] lonix, if the IP is set by DHCP, is there a way to make sure that the IP stays with my DHCP lease? [09:56] lonix: it didn't start either [09:57] lonix, or would I be forced to set a reserved IP in the DHCP server (or whatever they call them, kinda like a static IP) [09:57] how to search the .svn files and delete them? [09:58] amit: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery I like foremost my self, but photorec is supposed to be good as well [09:58] zeroedout: they were on ext4 [09:58] darshan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/install-purple-dictionary-elementary-project-ubuntu-ppa/ [09:58] amit: foremost is probably your best bet then [09:59] MagePsycho, I know many people create scripts using find | grep .svn and then have that stored into a variable that they do rm on, Im not so good at bash scripting though. [09:59] amit: just don't write anything else to the drive until you have recovered your files [09:59] knoppies: and OssNassr i have to go im really sorry, but repost your questions, i promise someone will help you out. [09:59] hey knoppies can yougive me the exact command for the purpose please [09:59] amit: like, stop using the harddrive now and plug into another machine for recovery if possible [09:59] zeroedout: how can I use foremost? I have it [09:59] lonix, thank you. You have been such a help. [09:59] darshan: the PPA is for Maverick but it should work in Natty === EvilOne is now known as KindOne [09:59] starminn will firefox sync work if from windows to ubuntu? [09:59] epzil0n, thank you [10:00] morth: worked for me [10:00] darshan: np ;) [10:00] starminn do i have to go on my windows atall or can i do this all by ubuntu [10:00] amit: I don't have time right now to hold your hand through it. you'll have to read the guide and the man pages, they are very detailed and instructive. also check out google for more step by step type guides [10:00] MagePsycho, I meant to imply that I do not know the exact command. You could try something like: rm -R path/to/directory *.svn [10:01] morth: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync [10:01] MagePsycho, WAIT. [10:01] zeroedout: ok [10:01] thank you [10:01] MagePsycho, dont do that, I made a mistake. [10:01] thanks [10:01] oh [10:01] why doesnlt /bin/sh -l execute .profile file? [10:02] why doesn;t /bin/sh -l execute .profile file? [10:02] MagePsycho, cd into the parent directory of your .svn files and then try: rm -r *.svn [10:02] starminn ty [10:03] ok knoppies [10:03] rm -r or rm -rf ? [10:03] MagePsycho, do you know how to use manpages? [10:05] MagePsycho, if you want it to just delete them and not bother about asking you, then do -rf, but if you want it to prompt you (or warn you that the file does not exist) then do -ir CAREFUL with -rf, you might end up deleting files you never meant to. [10:05] MagePsycho, you could also do -rfv and it will tell you everything that it does. [10:05] thanks knoppies [10:06] MagePsycho, pleasure. Do you know how to use man pages? try: man rm [10:06] Starminn will this be able to work if my other OS is not on? [10:06] nope [10:06] man = manual? [10:07] morth: Your settings/history/bookmarks are stored on a server over at Mozilla. [10:07] starminn OHH okay, makes perfect sense thanks [10:07] morth: So if you do something on Ubuntu, then next time you sign on with Windows it will carry over. Do something on Windows, and it will reflect on Ubuntu (and any mobile devices oyu have it on) [10:08] starminn cool brb to sync on windows [10:12] Hello, may I change the name of the default user from stefan to markus? And if yes, how can I do so? I want to rename the user and change the password. Is this possible? [10:12] How do I get mounted NAS drives to show up in file selection lists? [10:13] hey [10:13] can i ask somethin? [10:14] !ask | ahmtfth [10:14] ahmtfth: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:15] tarvid: bookmark it [10:15] wrote a dirty ruby script to convert empathy xml log to htm [10:16] anyone know why the timezone of the POST data in my browsers America/Chicago when it's supposed to be New York? [10:16] tarvid: then you can change the name of the bookmark [10:16] jtannenbaum: Can you check your IP whois? Get the IP at www.whatismyip.com and it would likely display what country it's in. Sometimes you can find yourself using a proxy in another area. [10:19] darshan: nice =) [10:20] how can I stop gnome but stay connected to wifi? [10:20] hi, is anybody else getting 404s for changelogs from natty-proposed? [10:21] weefee: huh, don't understand what you mean? [10:21] ok I'm trying to install nvidia drivers [10:21] and it tells me I can't be running X [10:21] weefee: mm [10:22] when I kill X, it drops to a black screen with no console [10:22] I could do it remotely, but apparently it kills the connection to wifi when gnome dies [10:23] weefee: ok, but why do you need wifi when you are installing graphic drivers? [10:23] weefee: does ctrl-alt-F1 give you a login screen? [10:23] so I can run the command [10:23] I'll try [10:24] epzil0n: To download the drivers or update them, perhaps? *shrug* [10:24] hi, when doing 'bzr launchpad-login ' from the terminal I get the following error regarding proxy auth:'bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: curl connection error (Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT)'. New to ubuntu dev, using natty. Added my ssh key to launchpad successfully. Any ideas? http_proxy env variable is set [10:24] ok that worked but the driver installation failed [10:25] Starminn: :D [10:25] weefee: try rebooting into single user mode, nvidia won't let you install if the nvidia module is loaded [10:26] gtx295 work on ubuntu? [10:26] single user mode how? [10:26] i am able to authenticate in my browser etc, so proxy credentials and setup are correct [10:27] weefee: at the boot screen you should get a second line which is your current krnel but in maintenance mode [10:27] I have recovery mode [10:27] ok [10:27] weefee: that's it [10:28] weefee: you will boot as root so be careful [10:28] can anyone tell me how to delete all tables within a db [10:28] no worries [10:28] fyi, my db has 400 tables [10:28] MagePsycho: DROP (table); CREATE TABLE (table); [10:28] MagePsycho: Maybe DROP * ? [10:28] MagePsycho: drop database [10:28] I'm ignorant but not unbearably so [10:29] i am unable to create database so.. drop database wont work [10:29] only i need to drop tables [10:29] MagePsycho: Sorry, like this: DROP TABLE (table); CREATE TABLE (table); [10:29] how to drop all the tables [10:29] like using wildcard :) DROP * TABLES [10:29] MagePsycho: Then like this: DROP DATABASE (table); CREATE DATABASE (table); [10:30] MagePsycho: you will have to grant access to the user you are using on the schema you are using, maybe with your root user. This is how it would work in mysql [10:30] since user is associated with that table [10:30] hi, when doing 'bzr launchpad-login ' from the terminal I get the following error regarding proxy auth:'bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: curl connection error (Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT)'. New to ubuntu dev, using natty. Added my ssh key to launchpad successfully. Any ideas? http_proxy env variable is set [10:30] MagePsycho: Only way wild card would make sense is DROP TABLE * I think but I don't know if that would work. [10:31] Been awhile and my DB stuffz is rusty. [10:31] bleh, failed [10:31] said to get out of runlevel 1 and telinit 3 [10:31] did that and script still failed [10:32] Starminn: I tried that, which didnt work. [10:32] MagePsycho: Just drop then recreate the database [10:33] MagePsycho, Shane: sounds like a privileges issue. You cannot drop/create if you dont have the correct privileges [10:34] I have two identical ssh sessions opened. one is very slow (in the sense of char echo) and one is normal. how can this happen? [10:34] MagePsycho: Sorry I missed the issue with priveliges. What method are you using to run your SQL? [10:40] how do I remotely re-mount an SD-card just being manually umount'ed? [10:41] mount -a ? [10:41] lonix: doesn't it require it being mentioned in /etc/fstab? [10:41] speakman: Yes. [10:41] that is if it is in fstab [10:41] I want it to be mounted as the user [10:42] as if you just put the card back in the machine [10:42] ubuntu will auto-mount it [10:42] with the current user's ownership [10:42] speakman: Reopen it from the File Manager. [10:42] Oh, remotely. [10:43] ssh :p [10:43] speakman: ssh -X and run nautilus. [10:43] guys, exist a simple method to have an USB stick with Ubuntu bootable in a macbook? i tried more ways but the result it's always the same "no bootable device found" (with rEFIt of course) ... [10:43] dodino: Are you booting as USB-HDD? [10:44] jpds: it's not visible in natulius when umounted once [10:44] tell me that someone has done it because I find many howto online which unfortunately do not work [10:44] shane_: it's an USB stick, a corsair voyager gt 16GB [10:45] dodino: When you boot, do you select USB-HDD as your boot option? It should be something along the lines of USB-HDD to boot operating systems from a USB [10:45] any ideas? [10:45] isn't ubuntu using pmount or something? [10:45] speakman: No. [10:45] or can I re-trigger the "pluggin in the SD-card" event? [10:46] shane_: with rEFIt i can see my USB stick but when I try to boot it, the result it's "no bootable device"... [10:46] Hello! [10:46] speakman: Run palimpsest and see if it's been powered off. [10:47] I've been up all night with WGET. Can someone please tell me how to go to a website that has a search engine, input my parameters, and then pass them through WGET? I have to download a file, and can't seem to get it to work if I request too much data, but the problem is... I need that data to download as an excel spreadsheet or an access database. Either way, the site is http://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/general_user/search . I can d [10:47] ownload the spreadsheet when I use the default parameters, but if I add any new ones, I get an error 500. I have no idea what to do. I truly need this info,and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help. I will do my best to refrain from spamming this, but I truly need this file in the next two hours... :'( [10:47] GreenNerd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:47] shane_: i think it's a problem relative the partition table and/or partition's filesystem.. [10:48] hi guys.. [10:48] dodino: I can not be sure. I do not use macs. If it was not that then I can not help you any further sorry [10:48] jpds: trying "Mount Volume" which gives me "Not Authorized" [10:48] MagePsycho: Any luck? [10:48] rm -rf *.svn only works for current directory [10:48] The problem happens when I click "Export to Access". The whole freakin site is .asp and .js! I can't get anything to function in a conventional manner. Can someone learn me to hack? [10:48] i want it to look and delete from all dirs [10:49] i used phpmyadmin for the shane_ [10:49] MagePsycho: Ok :) [10:50] and by the way -- it looks like my systray is lost.

The data I am pulling is all public, but the .js and .asp is mucking everything up, bad. [10:51] can't you just get it from a windows machine?

[11:00] GreenNerd: I don't think you'll be able to make that work, looks like a big problem on your end, I think your best bet is to parse the html somehow [11:00] on their end* [11:00] weefee, I've tried lots of stuff. What do you specifically suggest? [11:00] MagePsycho: Try rm -fr *.svn - I dont know if it will do anything but you can try :) It can either work or not [11:01] that's beyond my scope, but I bet there are some ubernerds that could whip up a script that will whip that data into shape right quick [11:02] shane_: notification area?

To end the process run pkill nm-applet however this will kill your connection as well. [11:16] logrotate -v says "does not need rotating" yet the files are 4Gigs+ and way older.

[11:18] sabgenton: This is ubuntu IRC not windows. I suggesn you google *.ext [11:18] i need software, that would simulate Ctrl + Alt + Left when i click my "go back" button on mouse, and Ctrl + Alt + Right, when i click my "go forward" button on mouse [11:18] apt-get purge network-manager && apt-get install wicd ? [11:18] glontu: Download WICD and install it then purge network-manager [11:19] e-DIO-t: You cant just install wicd, it required daemons and the interface [11:19] shane_: well wubi is suported which is a ext image on windows [11:19] glontu: Software Center, write the name of the software, click on it, then you see remove bottun, after removinngou better restart your pc [11:20] shane_: tought they'd come as dependencies [11:20] glontu: apt-get install wicd; apt-get install wicd-daemon;apt-get install python-wicd;apt-get purge network-manager [11:20] e-DIO-t: Good point :) [11:20] But just to be safe [11:21] shane_: ^_^ [11:21] However, I only have wicd-daemon and python-wicd installed and it works perfectly.

The command is $ foremost /dev/device -T how do i know what's the device? [11:26] !Xorg [11:26] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [11:27] glontu: First of all I would start of by removing network-manager all together rather than disabling it. [11:28] !GUI [11:28] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [11:28] shane_, and should i install the one you recomended ? [11:29] pRoV7x: A GUI is everything on your screen that you can see. Your windows, the mouse, everything. The other alternative to a GUI is CUI, which is command line interface (Text). [11:29] in windows normally we would type //ipaddress to see the shared items.. [11:29] how to do the same in ubutnu [11:29] hello [11:29] how to do the same in Ubuntu [11:29] i`ve a question [11:29] glontu: Well there is WICD or editing the OS's networking files. [11:29] babu: Places > Network [11:29] shane_: i see, god man this Xorg uses a lot of CPU sometimes [11:29] does anybody know, how to check in which domain/workgroup is my PC? [11:30] From a ease of use pov I would suggest WICD. From a stability point of view, edit the OS's files. However I have not had a problem with WICD. [11:30] does anyone know how to find out which dhcp leases were given out by ubuntu when you use the network managers "share this connection" option? [11:30] little: Applications > Sound and Video > Cheese Webcam Booth [11:30] pRoV7x: Yes that is to be expected. It has a massive job :) [11:30] in Network it shows the user name.. i dunno it..

[11:32] i mean i`ve 2 computers linux and windows [11:32] shane_: is WICD a software that manges Networks? [11:33] arucreid: well, that's where you would define it. [11:33] iljo: what do yoou mean by misunderstood?[D [11:33] i want to know that workgroup has importance to configuring it? [11:33] shane_: how about SWscanner [11:34] pRoV7x: WICD is like network-manager, It allows you to connect to networks (provided you have the password).

From what I saw, SWscanner only manages wireless networks. [11:35] And it depensd on something else. [11:35] babu: You can also use Places > Connect to Server and use "Windows Share" as the type. [11:35] there is lot of options.. [11:36] ok so I guess, it depends of what I type in smb.conf, and the name of workgroup must be the same [11:36] ?

[12:06] When starting update-manager, it says: Not all updates could be installed. [12:06] Is there some way I can figure out what the problem is? [12:06] gry_ yes [12:07] :) [12:08] Somelauw: With you using 11.10, you're probably better asking in #ubuntu+1 which is the channel for the development version, there may be a specific issue affecting things at the moment [12:08] hey guys, [12:08] thanks.

(some people said me that /var/www isn't a good choice) [12:13] xro: That's Apache's default web files location, yes. [12:15] gry, but some people said that is not a good place to store source code (web python code) because apache could show it to users... [12:15] DJones: I tried, but I am still having the same problem. [12:15] xro: it doesn't matter where, it's completely arbitrary [12:15] xro, it's the default location - if you find permissions wrong, just ask in here and people would help you to set it up. [12:15] xro: apache only needs to be able to read the files, other that that it can be anywhere [12:16] xro, permissions do /not/ depend on files location in this case. [12:16] ok... thanls for your advices! [12:16] thanks* [12:16] :-) [12:16] :D [12:17] DJones: Also, it says there are updates for linux-generic, but I am not able to select those. [12:17] xro: It depends entirely on how you configure your web server. No location is "good" or "bad" by reasons of apache showing it to users. /var/www is however correct under the FHS. [12:17] I think my system is completely messed up. [12:17] I prefer /home/$USER/public_html/ [12:17] * ejv shrugs [12:18] ejv: If it's user-specific that makes sense as well. [12:18] ejv, depends on whether you intend to have a site for all users, or just for one, I suppose. [12:19] /home/$USER/public_html/ is better than /var/www/$USER/, but /home/nobody/public_html as your only site is a bit silly. [12:19] i tend to find it more natural to navigate to my home dir, than /var/www, seems awkward to me :D [12:19] Somelauw: try 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on the terminal instead [12:19] Though we can vhost it to any location, e.g. hve global site domin point to one user's files - that'll work as well! [12:19] Also it says that firefox can't be updated, but that is probably because I have a firefox ppa added. [12:19] Do I need to make a backup first? [12:19] also my home tends to reside on an encrypted disk, whereas the contents of /var do not :) [12:19] Somelauw: run what szal said in Terminal, we'd see the error text. [12:20] Before aptitude upgrade? [12:20] Update first, then upgrade. [12:20] Somelauw: if you use aptitude, then use that & scrap apt-get [12:20] hello [12:20] So it would be: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [12:20] xro you have got python working through a web server? just wondering how -- I even with lighttpd still have to use php to interface with python [12:21] #ubuntu [12:21] jacks_: Welcome. [12:21] hello again, can anyone recommend a good virtualization software for ubuntu 10.10, such as Daemon Tools or PowerISO or MagicISO [12:21] rhin8, i use wsgi to interface python and apache [12:21] sudo aptitude upgrade works [12:21] ok thanks xro [12:21] iljo: mount xD [12:22] iljo: what's that got to do w/ virtualization?

[12:22] Somelauw: interesting [12:22] Or maybe I will see the same error again later :-( [12:22] those apps in windows land create a "virtual" disk, pardon his terminology ;) [12:23] yeah, sorry about that [12:23] iljo: Brasero disk burner, if you want to copy disks and similar [12:23] (make disk images too) === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [12:23] gry, daemon tools is for mounting .iso to a virtual DVD drive.

[12:28] jacks_, do you have anything in particular you are looking for? I recommend VLC, qmmp (for playing music) compiz config settings manager (if you are into tweeking your UI (not sure if it is in natty)) [12:28] gmountiso seems to do the thing, iljo [12:28] oh ok thanks [12:28] hi i'm using the most recent apache2 package from ubuntu (hardy). Are all known vulnerabilities patched (changelog on httpd.apache.org shows many vulnerabilites affecting 2.2.8) [12:29] ooxi, I think you should try see what version you are running, you can either try use apt (not sure how) or ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep apache2 (or even try synaptic, that should be able to tell you) [12:30] knoppies, ooxi: apt-cache show pkgname [12:30] what's the best system cleaner for Ubuntu [12:30] ooxi: a delay before a version appears in linux repositories is not umcommon [12:30] pRoV7x: define 'system cleaner' [12:30] pRoV7x: define 'system cleaner' [12:30] oops [12:30] How can i install a screenlet that's not in the repos? [12:31] pRoV7x, you see that, you get it in stereo. [12:31] heheh [12:31] szal, gry: i need the OS to be faster a bit [12:31] tham, Im not sure about screenlets, but I know with software you can either download a .deb (or some other package) or compile it yourself. [12:31] pRoV7x: buy a faster machine [12:31] https://launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev/+archive/ppa tham [12:31] knoppies, szal, gry i'm running 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.19 [12:32] szal, gry: any other options [12:32] the firefox will damage or stop when going from tab to other tab for a while [12:32] ooxi, ok good, now try find out what security vulnerabilities that version of apache2 has. (I dont know them, Im sorry) [12:32] knoppies, gry, The thing is, I got a source of a screenlet and changed it (the python file) a bit. I want to install this changed version now. Any idea? [12:32] ok how can i configure BleachBit the best way [12:32] tham: then you have to compile yourself [12:33] knoppies, according to the changelog on httpd.apache.org quite many [12:33] gry, um.. how do I compile it? Using python? [12:33] tham: Does it have a setup.py file in main project directory? [12:33] tham, if its a python file then the chances are that it is a script and so doesnt need to be compiled. You need to find where the original is installed, and then swap out the python files. (I hope this helps, its rather vague) [12:34] Okay, I managed to install the kernel updates. [12:34] Firefox is still bitching, probably because I added a custom ppa. [12:34] Somelauw: Sounds awesome. [12:34] Somelauw: I would delete the ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list and re-add it. [12:34] knoppies, Thanks, I may be able to do it that way. Thanks again [12:35] gry, Nope, but knoppies gave me an idea. Thanks both of you [12:35] tham: Great. [12:35] better to use /etc/apt/siurces.list.d/files [12:36] pRoV7x: You don't need a "system cleaner". Such things are more likely to be scams than real software anyway.

[12:37] gry: Can I just delete the files there directly? One of the files ends on .list and the other one ends on .list.save and there content is exactly the same? [12:37] tonyyarusso: thank u [12:37] a few cache files. thats about it [12:37] giorno [12:38] s/there/their/ [12:38] is there any thing that works as a restore point for Ubuntu [12:38] ooxi: Yes, apache2 will get security updates in hardy until spring of 2013. [12:38] Somelauw, I would not delete the .list file, but the .list.save sounds like somebody backed it up previously, that should be safe (in terms of the system not falling apart) to delete. === TrevelyanInc is now known as TrevInc [12:39] pRoV7x: not really. theres ways to do it. but its rarely needed [12:39] Does somebody know if "apt-get check" will inform apt that I have added .deb files to the /var/cache/apt/archives folder. So that it doesn't try to download them. [12:39] dr_Willis: i see [12:39] I am looking for an unattended Ubuntu installation. I found preseed and FAI. FAI sounds more interesting, especially preseed does not seem to support reusing of partitions. On the other hand the preseed method is easy to setup. Does FAI work well with Ubuntu? [12:40] knoppies: ive added them thete befor i dont recall them getting redownloaded [12:40] dr_Willis: what's the best one [12:40] Thanks helping me gry and szal [12:40] knoppies: so how to remove a repository? [12:41] Somelauw, remove? Im a little lost. [12:41] bummer my irc client crashed. [12:41] knoppies: how to remove a ppa I don't need anymore? [12:41] thanks dr_Willis maybe I should just try that. As things stand now I managed to create a local repository with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=147420 [12:42] Where is this documented? [12:42] easiest way: comment or delete the respective line(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list or sources.list.d/whereverItIsInThere [12:42] dr_Willis, It took me 3hours to realize I had a spelling error in my sources.list file. [12:42] wb dr_Willis [12:42] Somelauw: theres a ppapurge command [12:42] Somelauw, Im not sure about ppa, I normally just comment out the repo from /etc/apt/sources.list (as szal stated above) [12:42] knoppies: normally the error msg is a clue. B-) [12:43] * szal wouldn't count on such fancy commands having been around in Hardy already, most of the fancy stuff was introduced in Jaunty and Karmic [12:43] Somelauw: move the file to some other dir is one way [12:43] okay, thanks dr_Willis, knoppies and szal [12:44] dr_Willis, I thought the error message was telling me that it could not find the relevant file in my repo (because I had to generate a Packages.gz file, it was complaining about that, not the file path), I also started wondering if it was a permissions issue.

[13:35] i cant stand this [13:35] shockrates, no cursing [13:35] admgy22: I've found your original question. Can you pastebin the contents of your /etc/sudoers?

[13:35] D-Dalus, then probably a DNS issue, what happens if you try something like youtube? or even some low traffic site? [13:36] Hello everyone, I have a question :) I actually use my laptop on a dock, and switch really often between single and dual monitors configuration.

Could your ISP be filtering that site? [13:41] is this an unusual sudoers setup? [13:42] D-Dalus, what kind of network are you working from ? [13:42] admgy22: it's usually the "admin" group in ubuntu afaik. Maybe there's some alternative setup that makes it "sudo" by default. Anyway, the way /etc/sudoers is now, anyone in the "sudo" group can sudo. So if you want to remove sudo access for USER, just remove USER from the "sudo" group (use the « deluser USER sudo » command [13:43] Knoppies, no i don think so. [13:43] oh okay [13:43] moystard: I know there exists a 3rd party tool to allow control from the command line and you could probably write a udev rule for it. Still trying to remember its name and google-fu is not strong atm [13:44] this makes sense, as I know that the way it was added was with "adduser" [13:44] jrib: so, any solution for me?

[13:44] there was also something about /etc/passwd, about /etc/group, about useradd -G sudo, usermod -a -G sudo, [13:44] Blueskaj, well the problem is that i conncet to internet through a router (ZXV10 W300) and i wanted direct acceso to the net, so i configured it in "Bridge Mode" and created a DSL conection in Ubuntu, and it doesn't give me full acces and i don understand why [13:45] so I wonder what the steps are to reverse those... [13:45] jrib, cheers, I will definitely have a look at that :) [13:45] admgy22: « deluser USER sudo » will remove USER from sudo. The commands you listed, add a user to the sudo group [13:45] Kartagis: don't know [13:46] Kartagis: you might see if httrack does a better job, I suppose [13:46] D-Dalus, if you can create an SSH tunnel, then try use that, alternative try use a proxy site, or even give the tor network a try. That might solve your issue. Otherwise I am not sure how to fix your router problem. [13:47] admgy22, is it not a good idea to format/re-install the server, seeing as you are assuming that the previous admin did not leave any backdoors for himself open.

Sorry about the headaches you're having. :\ [17:03] chad____: I'm still googling. [17:04] hi all, i have a question... Im not sure if anyone in here has but i just started to get ubuntu back on my PS3, i have followed the guide for building the kernel and getting petitboot working however the site i was following is down and wondered if anyone might be able to assist ? [17:04] BluesKaj, the lsusb output for the drive is very long - which/what would the 'drive' look like? [17:04] Lasers: It's okay! I really thank you for attempting to help me. I think it switched to use your home directory as the desktop directory [17:04] chad____: Right. In Gnome, it should be in gconf -- but I don't know if XFCE utilize the same thing. [17:04] this is the site, but as i say its down at the moment :- http://wiki.gitbrew.org/index.php/PS3:Linux#Ubuntu [17:05] beachbuddah, could you pastebin the output of lsusb [17:05] Blueskaj - okey dokey [17:05] guest1987, i seem, to recall some sort of google-cache service that might let you get to a cache of the site.. but ive never used it.. trying the site now. [17:06] i have a server with several IPs assigned in interfaces as eth0, eth0:0, eth0:1, etc. how do i set which of those is the canonical IP for outgoing traffic? they changed after an emergency reboot. [17:06] I need help setting up my wireless internet in Ubuntu 11.04... [17:06] Hi, i need help. from version 10.04 I have problems with Ubuntu (I think) my graphics card. This problem arises especially when working with graphics or CPU usage much. The problem is that it breaks the GUI as you see in the image and the entire computer is very slow: I'm running Ubuntu http://imageshack.us/f/90/pantallazo1mb.png/ 11.04 and Intel graphics card ® 945G x86/MMX/SSE2 [17:06] seems to be down here also guest1987 - [17:06] how does one "open" a file in nautilus with a bash-script? eg: if i make a script "play" containing 'mplayer' that wount work [17:06] dr_willis, i got the guide :- http://pastie.org/2134792 if your interested but its not working as i expected and im left with a built kernel but no way of booting it, [17:06] BluesKaj - http://pastebin.com/MrRwKS2N [17:07] guest1987, i dont own a ps3. so no idea [17:07] !ps3 [17:07] Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [17:07] it says that the firmware is missing [17:07] Lasers: It's no problem, hah. [17:07] its more petitboot i think than ubuntu its self as all you are left with is a base system with apt and a kernel....... [17:07] Faustus2, nautilus has some sort of scripting feature and directory. its not too hard to use. but its not that well documented [17:08] Faustus2, check out http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ [17:09] beachbuddah, it should be listed in /media in nautilus [17:09] any person know that i can make for resolve the problem? [17:09] dr_willis: thanks doc :) [17:09] ok lemme check [17:09] How do I list the files installed by some package? [17:09] Faustus2, i seem to recall some python-nautilus script addon also that was very well done. [17:11] beachbuddah, gotta go for about 10 mins ...bbl [17:11] BluesKaj - the only things listed in my /media are an external drive and a DVD that happens to be in THAT drive - no Toshiba stick [17:11] k ty for your help [17:12] boa tarde [17:12] !br | sagat [17:12] sagat: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

I never bother with those security settings [18:13] ahbit [18:14] dr_willis, i followed the german wiki, but it says when i use sometimes not secure connections (usb-stick, internet caffee etc. ) i should add those three lines to the smb.conf. but after that i cannot make a share within nautilus, thats weird [18:14] !tab? [18:14] interfaces = ip.of.the.netbooks, bind interfaces only = yes, und hosts allow = ip.of.the.client [18:15] when i uncomment them and restart the server everything works fine again [18:15] subz3r0, if connecting in such places. i would just make sure samba is off. [18:15] subz3r0, make your shares in the samba config file. not the user created shares perhaps? how often do you need to make a share on the fly like that? [18:16] 5-6 times a week. maybe u could tell me how i can stop samba from autorunning? [18:16] just need it to share documents to my netbook. thats why im using the share over nautilus === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon === gpc is now known as IdleOne [18:17] sudo service samba stop to stop it as needed.. or remove/rename the /etc/init/ script that starts samba [18:17] subz3r0, you could use winscp and ssh to get files back/forth if you wanted to.. === pksadiq_ is now known as pksadiq [18:17] you can also setup a 'home' share - and let the netbook get to your entire home directory. === jsjgruberxyz_ is now known as jsjgruber [18:19] does any1 have installed Komodo Edit? [18:19] dr_willis, when i remove the script with mv from /etc/init/.... to /home/user and want it back that the autostart works again, its no problem to move it back? [18:20] never moved something from /etc/init to somewhere [18:20] you can just rename ot to /etc/init/whateveritscalled.conf to whatever.DONTRUN if you wanted to in the same dir [18:20] There may be a better way to disable/enable it on the fly.. but ive never really seen a better way [18:20] why after i'm install ubuntu 10.10. smart status : disk failure immminent [18:21] sudo mv /etc/smbd.conf /etc/init/smbd.DONTRUN [18:22] fajri: might be that one of your hard drives thinks that it's going to die soon [18:22] Hello, I am looking for some help on install 32-bit binaries of the nvidia binary package installed by apt. I have a 64-bit machine and have the nvidia files in /usr/lib/nvidia-current, but not in /usr/lib32/nvidia-current. I need these 32 bit files for Wine. [18:22] fajri, the smart monitoring tools see a set # of failures in the smart info. and is warning you. ive found the 10.10 suggestions to be a little bit.. over zelous and paranoid.. [18:22] fajri, but you may want to chck the disks with some other smart tools, and be sure to do proper backups [18:23] Jorl17, why do you need them for wine? [18:23] I would simply like to know how to install these lib32 files. [18:23] Because wine is a 32-bit application and it needs the 32-bit libraries. [18:23] ive never needed to install them for wine to work forme on my 64bit systems [18:23] Im not sure why wine would need the nvidia drivers at all. [18:23] For 3d [18:24] ive ran 3d games without doing this stuff. [18:24] D3D. But there's some *extra* thing I haven't said [18:24] And it becomes very important in fact [18:24] for direct3d tweaking you have checked out the winetricks tool? and the wine app database? [18:24] I own one of those optimus prime-suckers. [18:24] Any idea why there would be a big red square in the left corner of my screen with a "1" on it? There's no extra screen plugged in or such. [18:24] Q). is there a server i can pull sources.list files from for Ubuntu PPC ? ie the default one for your LANG ? [18:25] RenaKunisaki, the monitors 'settings tool' can get stuck ive seen.. saw that question asked once in here befor.. the guy had to check/kill some process to get it to vanish.. 'gnome-monitor-settings' or somtjhing named like that [18:25] Winetricks for d3d isn't needed nowadays. I'm quite experience with Wine and Linux, but this is indeed the first 64 bit machine I have, let alone one for which I need bumblebee. [18:25] i couldn't install Komodo Edit as well as Aptana Studio , can one help me? [18:26] * RenaKunisaki headtilt [18:26] Dual GPU setups - are such a 'cutting edge work in progress' all i can say is good luck. [18:26] Hope the 2 video card laptop stuff gets all smoothed out in time for the next release. There must be 4+ people in here a day asking about them/bumblebee/otehr issues with them [18:26] Still, I didn't ask for help about that, I just asked out how to install the 32bit packages. [18:27] i have tryed boot with usb stick, but the lilo slackware boot screen just came up... any ideas why i cant boot ubuntu ? [18:27] Triscar0, bios is not set to boot it.. or the usb stick is not made properly. so it goes to the HD. [18:28] Following discussions such as http://osdir.com/ml/hybrid-graphics-linux/2011-06/msg00039.html I see that there is some package nvidia-current-32 [18:28] I mean lib32-nvidia-utils [18:29] but that's for arch. What about ubuntu? [18:29] !sources.list [18:29] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [18:30] Hiya guys [18:30] dr_willis, but i have tryed cd and usb stick. and the cd booted but then the screen just got black. [18:30] Yes, but I'd like to know what the equivalent to lib32-nvidia-utils is [18:30] Pointing me to a repository without me knowing the name of the package isn't that much of a help. I've used Ubuntu for 4 years, I'm ok with that, honestly. I'd just like to know which package has these 32-bit libraries [18:31] Hi all === idejxa is now known as idejxa_ [18:32] guys can anyone tell me how to make all the window borders and window titles smaller. I use gnome [18:32] \quit [18:32] ? [18:32] ? [18:33] Is there really nobody around here that can simply tell me how to get those 32bit libraries in my 64bit machine? === idejxa_ is now known as idejxa [18:34] Jorl17: Patience is a virtue. [18:35] Well, one thing is patience, the other is, as has happened in all 3 times I've been here for 4 years, being treated as an ignorant and an idiot. We're not there yet now, but we've been further away. [18:35] Triscar0, have you tried the nomodeset option to see if its a video issue? [18:35] !nomodeset [18:35] Jorl17: If you're looking for a specific file, apt-file is your friend. [18:35] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [18:35] Before I ask this question its kind of long. About 7 to 9 lines. Is that a problem? or do I need to put it in that note thing online (I forget the website now) [18:36] BostX, that would be a theme/window decorator setting/option. easy way wouldbe find a theme with smaller title/borders [18:36] Corey, thanks, I will try that.

[18:37] yeah I figured it out already by reading through the manual, thanks. [18:37] Hello all. I need some quick help (Hopefully). I am using Fuduntu basically a cross between Ubuntu and Fedora. It seems like it is more Ubuntu though. Anyway back to the point. I am trying to use unetbootin. I need to run it as root. Here is my problem when I try to in terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/634447/ [18:38] Ervin89, to run an app as root use gksudo. [18:38] Ervin89, and i suggest just using the normal ubuntu. [18:38] sicne getting support for Fuduntu is not here... no idea where it would be supported at.. check its homepage. [18:39] i have ubuntu installed on my pc but when i want to put cd's in for my networkstick i dont know wheather i should use the windows version or what [18:39] !sound [18:39] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [18:39] Ervin89: They have their own channel here: #fuduntu [18:40] DOOD, if you mean use windows drivers for a usb-network-adaptor.. they dont work in linux. [18:40] Well I was usinng rgular ubuntu. But the new 11.04? Number correct? Does not like me whatsoever. So I have to use 10. And Skype ruins my internet connection on it for some reason. So I tried Fedora and it was great for my skype. But It had some issues So i thought Fuduntu. But Now i want to dual Boot fedora hence why i need to use unetboot === kondores is now known as ctcp [18:40] DOOD: What model of "network stick" are you referring to? [18:40] Thanks dr_willis and Pici no one is ever there [18:40] hey guys, anyone using urxvt or xterm? if so, how are you starting this up in gnome? [18:40] not a bramdded one [18:40] n [18:40] kind of sucks that i start up gnome-terminal to start urxvt or xterm :P [18:40] DOOD: There a part number on it somewhere? [18:40] Ervin89, sounds like a good reason to use normal ubuntu then. [18:41] But skype then wont work [18:41] one min [18:41] Corey Nope, I don't find any package that installs 32 bit NVIDIA packages. Any idea? [18:41] DOOD: Let's take this another way. dmesg | tail -f in a terminal window, and then plug in the "network stick." It should spit out what it is. [18:41] sarkis, make an icon on the desktop for it? use gnome-do? set it to be the default-terminal emulator? :) [18:41] I do find http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/nvidia-current/filelistbut that's for AMD64 [18:41] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/nvidia-current/filelist * [18:41] Ervin89, skype is breaking on everything these days it seems... [18:41] dr_willis: thanks [18:41] you guys using urxvt or xterm over gnome-terminal on buuntu? [18:42] i dont understand u [18:42] sarkis: urxvt [18:42] DOOD: Nevermind. :-) [18:42] what do u mean [18:42] 0: [18:42] ubuntu 10.04.2 dont boot, slackware 13.1 dont boot, slackware 13.37 boots up with cd, think my pc lives it own life. [18:42] ): [18:43] sarkis, personally i perfer 'terminator' these days [18:43] dr_willis: might be the noobest question ever but I guess gksudo does not work for me. I am guessing use that command in place for sudo correct?

[18:43] yah command not found [18:43] hello [18:43] Ervin89, its a standard ubuntu command on gnome at least.... [18:43] !gksudo [18:43] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:44] DOOD: Accessories -> Terminal, then type: dmesg | tail -f [18:44] Then plug in your USB device. [18:44] Gaaah! That stupid new left-side bar in 11.04 gets stuck all the time. Either above all my windows unable to hide, or the app starter is stuck behind my windows, unable to get to the front. Wtf is happening? [18:44] use gnome [18:44] oal, Unity is so flakey for me and my nvidia system here.. i cant even use it... [18:44] oal: welcome to hell [18:44] Triscar0, I did suggest the alternate live cd, looks like you have a HW problem which the alternate might solve [18:44] oal: just select ubutnu classic interface from login page. [18:44] I have to run 'unity --replace' like 10+ times a day [18:45] ok i'm using windows to connect to the internet so try it in a few min [18:45] BluesKaj, what is the exact name of it? so i can find an url to download [18:45] Dbl_Tap: thanks, that just saved my life :P [18:45] !alternate [18:45] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [18:45] oal: np I realy like cairo-dock, although a little off-topic. [18:46] co' its on same computer [18:46] hey guys, can anyone give me some help in locating a "read me file" or anything usefull in getting started with backtrack4? [18:46] hi guys [18:46] nox: do they not include a man page for the package?

Im rolloing my own little desktop :) openbox + xcompmgr + docky [18:50] can i have some help [18:50] plz [18:50] DOOD: You're going to have to unfortunately be a little bit more descriptive.

[19:05] I want to use PulseAudio as DLNA server. I already installed rygel but I eccounter errors when I connect to it with my PS3.. [19:05] Any suggestions? [19:05] g0th: or use bash for your programming.. or python with the api.. depends on how much "programming" you have to do [19:05] guiledazimba___, also i think win7 has some sort of 'virtual pdf' printer. you could print to from linux and it converts to pdf, then could print.. you will have todo some work to get that thing going it seems [19:05] hmm [19:06] DLNA is such a neat idea.. that works.. so poorly at times. :( some times it works very well [19:06] BluesKaj, it boots up, but now my keyboard dont work! lol [19:06] making it into usb bootable thingy magig [19:06] should i select convert isolinux based bootable dvd or wrapt bootable dvd [19:06] im using flashboot [19:06] never heard of flashboot.. I reccomend the tools at the pendrivelinux web site. [19:06] i have that tool [19:06] it failed me for ubuntu [19:07] or just set up a grub2 setup to boot the iso.. pendrivelinux has tools to automate that also. [19:07] downloaded latest ubuntu iso, used pendrive linux... wont boot from my new usb stick [19:07] I have had specific stick/some machine issues.. that then work on other machines... older USB sticks/machiens seem more problematic. [19:07] new laptop, new stick (limited edition even lol) [19:08] Slart: can imagemagick handle complicated image compositions through command line? === tuxompol is now known as tuxampol [19:09] torturedsoul, does the stick not boot.. or does ubuntu boot but fails to boot properly to desktop? (2 very difffent problems) [19:10] the stick boots and says something along the lines of [19:10] iso not found [19:10] g0th: I haven't really used imagemagick beyond some simple scripted resizes.. but from what I've heard it is very powerful.. I'm afraid I can't really help you with specifics.. not sure if there is a channel dedicated to imagemagick.. #imagemagick perhaps? [19:11] its a sandisk cruizer blade 4gb stick [19:11] the one made of plastic that is so light u lose it after 1 week [19:12] torturedsoul, theres unetbootin, and lili, and like 3 other tools at pendrivelinux, and proberly 5+ other tools taht can put the iso on a flash drive.. try some other one i guess.. [19:12] Anyone using ccextractor or know how to compile it? [19:12] then theres the ubuntu usb-disk-creator tools. [19:12] ok [19:12] converts most image formats to other formats in most sizes and shapes (imagemagick convert command) [19:12] im no expert, probably i did something wrong [19:12] torturedsoul, just dont try dding the iso to the flash.. that wont work [19:12] yea of course [19:13] it CAN work for some disrtos. :) not ubuntu however [19:13] i just used pendrivelinux to put microlinux on it [19:13] selected use new syslinux [19:13] as it wasnt in the list [19:13] not i have ldlinux.sys and a folder called boot on the stick [19:13] hopefully will work need restart to find out though [19:13] howdy [19:13] now* [19:14] I use some Multi-iso tool from pendrivelinux. it puts the isos on the pendrive. and lets you have several disrtos at the same time ont eh same pendrive [19:14] I've read that gnome-shell from the repos breaks Unity is this still the case? Is the gnome-shell in the repos maintained by ubuntu or is it being ignored completely? [19:14] Its being focused on for the next release I belive sysdoc_ [19:15] Not much work in getting it going on the current release that ive heard of. [19:15] so at some point the keyboard layout switcher changed behavior. used to be you'd select a layout and it would take effect globally (i.e. in all apps) until you chose a different one. now if you change your layout it takes effect only for the current application, and all the others continue to use whatever they were using before. is there any way to go back to the old behavior? [19:15] sysdoc_: gnome 3 is not currently supported on 11.04 [19:15] i prefer to ask my question here oCean [19:16] it makes absolutely no sense to me why you would want two different keyboard layouts active for different applications at the same time. the typical use case is two users who want different layouts. i can't imagine someone really wanting a different layout for his terminal than he uses for email [19:17] oh and btw i'm on 10.04 [19:17] (but this is the same in 11.04) [19:17] yaaar, sounds like a good question for askubuntu.com (or it may allready been asked there) - I never use layouts. :) [19:18] dr_willis: yeah, i use colemak...but occasionally somebody will want to sit at my computer and do something, so i have a standard qwerty layout available for them === Guest60498 is now known as MichealH [19:20] hi guys, how can i get my touchpad work. i intalled 11.04 and it cant work anymore [19:20] dr_willis, thanks [19:20] yaaar: are you talking about ibus? if so, 11.04 added a new setting to make the input method global to all applications, IBus Preferences/Advanced Tab/Share the same input method amoung all applications [19:21] yaaar: scim used to have that setting as well, but the earlier versions of ibus didn't have it [19:23] @ all - i have downloaded a mozilla version 5 , but i don't know that how to install a tar.bz2 .. can any one help,, [19:23] trism: sorry, i don't know what ibus is (and googling it turned up stuff that doesn't seem to be related). i'm talking about the little thing in the notification area that i can click on to switch between keyboard layouts. i have two, one which is labelled "USA" (which is colemak) and one labelled "USA2" (which is qwerty). [19:24] shreymech; in nautilus open in archive manager then extract files to location. should have setup scripts in there. [19:24] yaaar: ibus is for input method stuff, like to type in japanese. you're just looking at the keyboard indicator i think [19:25] Dbl_Tap; i checked but can't see any... [19:25] yaaar: used to be there was a keyboard setup thing in the preferences menu. im sure its still around somewhere but i dont know how to find it in unity [19:25] shreymech: Which release of Ubuntu are you using? [19:25] maco: i'm on 10.04, so (thankfully) i'm not dealing with unity [19:25] yaaar: ahh, alright, sorry, I know what you mean now, that's controlled by gnome-settings-daemon [19:25] Pici; currently using a 3.6 release.. [19:25] oh for pete's sake. sorry guys, i'm just blind [19:25] shreymech: Thats not what I asked you. What version of *Ubuntu* are you using? [19:26] Pici; now i have downloaded a version 5 few min. back [19:26] Pici; i am using 10.04 [19:26] shreymech: should be a readme file in the location you extracted to. Does anything exist there? or is the .tar.gz file empty === Technoviking is now known as technoviking [19:26] shreymech: there is a PPA available for firefox5. [19:27] i had previously looked at the keyboad prefs, but somehow had completely missed the checkbox labeled "separate layout for each window" ....duh. [19:27] Dbl_tap; in that read me file only the link path from where i downloaded mozilla 5 exist [19:27] !fx5 | shreymech [19:27] shreymech: Firefox 5 is available in Natty/11.04 as an automatic update. If you would like to install it in an earlier release, you will need to use the following !PPA: http://pad.lv/ppa/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ [19:27] shreymech: That will allow you to upgrade via apt, and will take care of all security patches as they become available. [19:28] shreymech: In a terminal, just write: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [19:28] Are there some packages that are in Ubuntu Server Edition but not Ubuntu/Kubuntu/etc. ? "sudo apt-get install alfresco-community" doesn't work here [19:28] (unlike as implied on http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/alfresco ) [19:28] ssbr_: no [19:28] jrib: so how do I find out what a package was renamed to? [19:28] ssbr_: The partner repository is not enabled by default. [19:29] !partner | ssbr_ [19:29] ssbr_: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [19:29] Pici; after that ? [19:30] shreymech: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:30] I did that command and an apt-get update , still can't install alfresco-community :( [19:31] ssbr_: what ubuntu version [19:31] kubuntu 11.4 [19:32] Pici; i need one more suggestion.. currently i am on ubuntu 10.04 and it is showing an update of 650 MB .. so is it better to download and install a new 11.04 fresh or should i go for an upgradation.. i am confused.. [19:32] shreymech: It sounds like you haven't been upgrading your packages regularly. regularly [19:32] Pici; from many days internet connection was not available to me.. now i am back [19:33] shreymech: You can try doing just an: apt-get upgrade, but that is not gauranteed to pull in the new firefox package(s). [19:33] Pici; but then i need to go through 2 upgrades.. one from 10.04 - 10.10 and than 10.10 - 11.04 ... [19:33] shreymech: Alternatively, just do: apt-get install firefox [19:33] shreymech: yes. [19:34] i have my buddys computer, and it will not boot past the HP start up screen, can i do a system recovery with out the back up disk [19:34] Pici; But as i am in india so net connectivity here is not very fast thats why i m thinking of downloading and installing a fresh 11.04 instead of going through long upgradation === Guest53507 is now known as Monotoko [19:35] ssbr_: one second. I see the packages, but they don't seem to be in the index [19:35] shreymech: You can just use the last command I gave you to just install Firefox, so you can do an upgrade to 11.04 at your convenience. === Cain` is now known as Cain [19:36] Pici; yes it is getting installed .. thanks.. Hmm i have decided to install a fresh 11.04 .. but will it be worth .. is it far far better than 10.04.. if not than i can skip 11.04 [19:38] shreymech: If you'd prefer to stay at the LTS release, you can wait until 12.04 comes out. [19:38] Pici; ohkk.. yes i usually prefer a LTS release.. [19:38] shreymech: But you should do an apt-get dist-upgrade to ensure that you have the latest security packages. (this will not upgrade your Ubuntu release) [19:39] hey [19:39] can someone please add those 2 deb packages in ubuntu repository? http://pcsxr.codeplex.com/releases/view/50048 Thanks [19:40] Pici; ok i will run that command to.. and in between my firefox 5 is installed... hey by security do u mean by protection against virus.. but i knw that linux are free from viruses so no security is needed [19:40] shreymech: I mean any security update. Sometimes bugs are found that expose vulnerabilities in software. [19:41] !packaging > shockrates [19:41] shockrates, please see my private message [19:41] ssbr_: seems like it was only built for jaunty [19:41] hmmm...since the debian room are being asses...can I post a debian server related question in here, since it's all based on debian? [19:41] Pici; oh ok.. hey even that dist-upgrate is showing around 640 Mb's of download.. :( [19:41] jrib: Oh. how would I file a bug report to get that page taken down, then? [19:42] is there a way to access the app repository from a browser? [19:42] ssbr_: if I recall correctly, you can file bugs against the website at launchpad.net [19:43] Jan\: sure, http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ for example [19:44] ok [19:45] ah, is there a way to list it similar the way ubuntu lists it? [19:45] Jan\: ? [19:45] i'm looking for a faxing app [19:45] is there a command to install ubunut-desktop but with the attional software packages [19:45] Jan\: http://packages.ubuntu.com might be what you're looking for. [19:45] Jan\: or just apt-cache search fax | less [19:46] thx Pici oCean [19:46] jrib: I'm not seeing it. THe bug link takes you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs which is for bugs in the software [19:46] ssbr_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website [19:46] sorry meant without the additional software packages? [19:47] jrib: oh, alright, thanks [19:48] hi there [19:48] seems like make-kpkg is missing in Natty [19:48] How do I stream webcam over LAN with the current version VLC? Online instructions for doing this apparently don't exist. There are only instructions for doing this with the old version of VLC, which has a totally different GUI or using a windoze wizard... How do I do this using the current version GUI? [19:49] somekool: it is there, install kernel-package [19:49] !info kernel-package | somekool [19:49] somekool: kernel-package (source: kernel-package): A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages.. In component universe, is optional. Version 12.036+nmu1 (natty), package size 394 kB, installed size 2316 kB [19:50] Hi again [19:51] is there any way to reload the network/interfaces? I append a new interface and I wanna put it in work [19:51] ubuntu 10.04 server [19:51] Why do people use 10.04 .. [19:51] lts [19:51] !lts | PythonSnake [19:51] PythonSnake: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [19:52] PythonSnake: LTS [19:52] And 11.04 is not lts ? [19:52] PythonSnake: No. [19:53] hi [19:53] How many years it'll be supported ? [19:53] PythonSnake: LTSes are released every two years. 12.04 will be the next LTS. [19:53] PythonSnake: 18 Months. [19:53] Why does it matter ? [19:53] I can update version .. [19:54] in the old VLC it was like you could just open a capture device and tick the "stream" box and choose a protocol and you were away.... Now you have to go to streaming and fill out multiple pages of forms and questions which no human could ever understand except the programmer who made it. So.. does anyone here know how to stream webcam over a LAN in VLC? [19:54] I need help [19:55] kalvin: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [19:55] vividshock: just ask your question [19:55] Ok uhh [19:55] guntbert: it will restart all interfaces [19:55] Trying to install lubuntu on my laptop [19:55] guntbert: and it's deprecated way [19:55] what's the easiest way to check CPU temperature? x86 architecture, Natty. [19:55] but the thing is it has only 224 MB of ram [19:55] guntbert: I want in a upstart way [19:56] So I let it run on a live cd i burned and tried to run it off disc to check if it can even start on my laptop but its stuck at loading screen === GateKeeper is now known as synegy34 === lnb is now known as lnb_ [19:57] kalvin: you asked for "reload the network/interfaces" [19:58] I have to go............ if anyone at all knows how to stream webcam over a LAN using the current VLC user interface, then please PM me. I will be back in about 2 hours [19:59] hey guys. sadly, I type his from my tablet, because gnome-panel won't start for me. I cleared the. gconf/2 and,.gnome/2 dies, no change. [19:59] exit [20:03] i want to install java runtime on a server. any advice other than just sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [20:03] i don't want the dev kit, just the ability to run jars === Joresch_ is now known as Joresch [20:04] let's say I want to backup my file system to DVD storage. I'll need to archive my files and split them into chunks that fit on DVDs. probably something like this: tar -cvpz / | split -d -b 3900m - /name/of/backup.tar.gz .... is there any way to make sure that ‘split’ waits for a pressed key or something after each created chunk? so that I can burn it to disk and delete it before continuing, thus not requiring a whole lot [20:04] of disk space for the backup archive? [20:05] to put it another way, that sun-java6-jre is obsolete, where's the new one [20:09] photon: dumping nowadays' file systems on dvd makes no sense. For system backup all you need is list of packages you frequently use, your /etc and /home/you [20:10] photon: for gui backups search ubuntu forums [20:10] !backup | photon [20:10] photon: There are many ways to back your system up.

[20:24] I have it in a virtual machine using the LTS and it is very choppy... [20:24] I am wondering if it's because it's a vm... [20:24] mimico: undoubtedly [20:25] try Wubi [20:25] Being able to set up skype well is the deciding factor here. [20:25] what's Wubi? [20:25] !wubi | mimico [20:25] mimico: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

Just want to get rid of the Vista all together. So the decision is between Ubuntu LTS or Windows 7. [20:27] mimico: Ubuntu [20:27] I just put it on my vm as a demonstration for the person... [20:27] mimico, why not dual boot? [20:28] tertl3: Because she hates the Vista. [20:28] mimico if you are on intel you should be safe switching to ubuntu [20:28] neo21: So the skype will work well on intel in Ubuntu? [20:28] well, ok === kichawa is now known as Ania [20:29] mimico: do you have a notebook or desktop? [20:30] trying to set ulimit -c unlimited on a non-root account but the setting doesn't take ... is there some file/other setting that needs to be changed to enable core dumps? [20:37] hi.

[20:38] Yes [20:38] because in /home/luk/.. there are two directories named: Dokumente & Downloads [20:39] Ok, I need help. On occasion I get this strange bug where it doesn't seem my clicks register in windows I have open. The keyboard works fine, and when I switch to another workspace everything works as normal, but when I return to the affected workspace this continues seemingly randomly. It's not the touchpad, any idea what the problem is? === Guest51147 is now known as mikke [20:39] stowoda: sure, you can do that, just make sure you don't rename your home folder /home/luk/ [20:39] every time I want to autocomplete after just typing a "D" i have to add the next letters [20:39] photon, will all the software notice that change? [20:40] hmm or maybe I just rename the Download dir.. [20:40] and tell firefox to store downloads elswhere.. [20:40] stowoda: just touble tab it will list available options. There are multiple folders or files that start with D is all. [20:40] stowoda [20:40] stowoda: software will probably not notice it, but with most software the download directories won't be hardwired, but can be set somewhere in preferences. [20:40] understand.. [20:41] when i installed ubuntu 10.04.2 i configuered the network, but now when i booted up for first time, i can not ping a network ip or anything? cant update [20:41] stowoda: rename it to downloads ... (linux is case sensitive) [20:41] yeah, thought about that too [20:41] stowoda:make softlink [20:41] or that, yes [20:41] has anyone had an issue where they've been playing music or watching flash under Ubuntu and pitch has changed ? [20:41] but thats not the perfect way.. one dir will begin with capital and the other one with small letters [20:41] as in, the pitch changes every 30 seconds or so [20:42] jillsmitt, softlink? [20:42] whats that? [20:42] stowoda: ln -s [20:42] stowoda: man ln [20:42] my browser will only play youtube audio when i launch it from a root shell. how do i fix it [20:42] symbolic link [20:42] ok, will look in that direction [20:42] thanks [20:44] jillsmitt: you mean symlink don'tcha [20:44] ln -s is a perfect solution [20:44] :) [20:44] thank You [20:44] yw [20:44] welcome [20:44] Hello === HamsterLord is now known as CocoMango === CocoMango is now known as HamsterLord [20:45] hi [20:45] not sleeping?

I just opened a linode VPS running under Ubuntu - what directory is served to the web? [20:47] Salt_water: and in #ubuntu-bg ? [20:48] how on earth can i run a command to setup a hidden ssid connection for wpa2 i have tried most everything i know [20:48] I will try there [20:48] like i assume i have to iwconfig wlan0 essid nameofssidforap [20:49] Salt_water: actually, it is offtopic there too, but they might point you to a better suited channel than this one. Thanks for understanding [20:49] then beyond that im lost i have tired to use wpa_supplicant i can bring my ap up on linux via other ways [20:49] like if ssid is not hidden it is no problem for me to connect [20:49] wpa_supplicant AFAIK handles all that [20:49] I see, thank you anyway [20:49] ya i have tried [20:49] and have a good night [20:50] what is the command to get ip on my ubuntu box ? [20:50] Salt_water: your plugins for flash ought to be in the mozilla plugins directory, whereis mozilla [20:50] ifconfig shows that its not connected to network [20:50] Triscar0: ip addr [20:51] Triscar0: If you're not connected you don't have an IP address... [20:51] I am using iceweasel actually [20:51] Salt_water: and you can have more than one and choose it in update-alternatives --config [20:51] what's a good channel to ask visual studio questions?

[20:51] wired [20:52] i configed it on install but dont work now? [20:52] Triscar0: plug the cable into the router. It should work. [20:52] Triscar0: does it not? [20:52] photon, just one question.. are the links permanent? [20:52] My ubuntu cannot see the built in webcam. At least it looks like. [20:52] stowoda: yes [20:52] ok [20:52] I am trying to install it now [20:53] thx [20:53] Triscar0: which ip are you looking for [20:53] stowoda: depends on what you mean by permanent, though. [20:53] stowoda: it's just an entry that says "if you enter this directory, really enter my target" [20:53] I have a second HP 625, where I can use my webcam in cheese and Skype. What can I try to make it work? [20:53] stowoda: if you move the target directory/file, the link is broken [20:53] (Both computers shall be the same) [20:53] i want to get the computer online and connected to the network [20:54] 192.168.0.blablabla [20:54] is it possible to do a "sudo cp /home/defaultuser/Desktop/* /home/$USER/Desktop/ [20:54] i installed idjc-0.8.4 that come with ubuntu 10.4 but i a having problems to connect to the jack so i have been reading around and i found in the source project that is a new version but when i try install it from the same page it tell me that a file is missing...anyhow i want to know if there is a way i can get the package update to my available programs so i use the installer from ubuntu [20:55] Triscar0: did you try ip ro [20:55] you'd want to add in -r (for recursive) and -v (verbose) [20:55] photon, permanent in means of presistent after a reboot [20:55] stowoda: yes [20:55] and there's an argument for preserve attributes too [20:55] TheMatrix3000: yes, why not?

[21:02] Triscar0: why dont you just move the router and modem in near your linux box and wire [21:02] is it possible to do a "sudo cp /home/defaultuser/Desktop/* /home/$USER/Desktop/" and have it copy data to all users [21:02] or how would i copy from one Desktop folder to everyones desktop folder [21:02] Triscar0: wireless is always a pain in the ass [21:02] TheMatrix3000: You'd have to make a script to do more than one user [21:02] Someone mentioned something on processing grouping before but no idea how that works. [21:03] trism: thanks ! maybe thats because I started from a bootstrap. I will run apt-cache update again [21:03] Triscar0: but basically you want to put the device up, ifconfig up [21:03] how do I tell what version of adobe flash I have? I should know how.. but I dont. [21:04] Triscar0: configure it and then get dhclient to give you an ip which you can set dynamically or static in /etc/network/interfaces [21:04] hello group. i'm having difficulty restarting ssh. sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart returns... Rathaer than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d....... I"m running 11.04 [21:04] or just issue commands until you get it [21:04] tripelb: Adobe has a version check on their site...somewhere. [21:05] Hey hey, finally got this Ubuntu up and running, now as I'm using ubuntu for the first time, (in fact it's my first linux ever) could anyone recomend me some kind of security stuff etc? [21:05] tripelb: Otherwise you could check the package version with a package manager. You /might/ also have a Flash config utility installed automatically with Flash that you could check. [21:05] Bloodboil: What do you mean 'security stuff' ? [21:05] porchmonkey, now it got ip, but now i tryed to connect to it wit putty from my windows computer, and it refuses my conection ? [21:06] whitehat: it is sshd [21:06] As in firewalls, anti-virus etc etc. Mainly firewall thought [21:06] Bloodboil: You don't need them :) [21:06] O.o you're kidding me? [21:06] guntbert: yes, however in /etc/init.d is is ssh i.e. /etc/init.d/ssh [21:06] Bloodboil: Most people on linux do not run either. [21:06] Triscar0: open your router panel and open the port on the ip it assigned u [21:06] Bloodboil: This might start a flame war [21:06] !av | Bloodboil [21:06] Bloodboil: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [21:07] I only use an anti-virus to scan my windows partition [21:07] Bloodboil: Some people do run a firewall and will argue it is necessary but it is much less necessary on linux (arguably not at all) then it is on Windows [21:07] if i want to install ubuntu on a macbook pro, do i need boot camp? [21:07] Triscar0: if you ip ro, you will have the gateway = your router panel and the other number is the ip dhclient assigned you which you need to go into the gateway address by connecting to it from a browser on port 80.. then go to port triggering [21:08] I see, well thanks for that edbian. Now I just need to get myself rid of this number 1 caused by ccc... Wonder how this super user stuff works. [21:08] Bloodboil: The difference is you're running almost 100% open source software. All of your software comes from repos with trusted moderators. This means malicious software is extremely rare [21:08] Bloodboil: ccc ? [21:08] and input the number it issued you.. ssh ought be port 22 if i'm not mistaken [21:09] Bloodboil: superuser (root) is the account that can do everything. In Ubuntu you access super user using sudo [21:09] whitehat: try sudo restart ssh [21:10] Triscar0: but you can open them all just to be safe and you will in the future want to make your linux boot up with a static address as opposed to having dhclient issue you whichever is next in line [21:10] porchmonkey, when i use sudo apt-get update. does it install the updates also or only download them? it whent soo fast. 132 packeges can be updated. [21:10] guntbert: sudo service ssh restart returns the error "restart: unknown instance: [21:11] is upstart the current sysV utility in ubuntu? [21:11] whitehat: no, not the "service..." way, yes upstart is on the way... [21:12] Bloodboil, You might find this of particular interest: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=338 [21:12] Triscar0: you've got the carriage before the horse, update will update what is available and then compared to what is on your system tell you what is available for upgrade [21:13] Triscar0:you can use apt-get to download packages only and do dry runs or simulated runs etc. you basically have is a note saying here is what is available to upgrade.

[21:15] Triscar0: not positive but i belive you should go into port triggering and tell it specifically where to send the signal, dmz i vaguely remember isnt going to get you all the way there. look under gaming [21:15] djr013, I dont know how to check a package version or what a package manager is.I have this Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 [21:15] whitecat: did you tried at the first time sudo service ssh start [21:16] TheMatrix3000: Do you want to copy it once or make them all the same? [21:16] sorry [21:16] whitehat: strange, what does status ssh tell? [21:16] djr013 thanks [21:16] guntbert: i don't have "status" as a command [21:17] guntbert: status ssh -> ssh stop/waiting [21:17] whitehat: then it is not running, try sudo start ssh === debian2_ is now known as elque45 [21:18] whitecat:look i have told you above [21:18] i want to copy it once [21:18] guntbert: sudo start ssh -> ssh stop/pre-start, process 3041 [21:18] djr013, sorry that line was trash.

I am having backup woes again. I am earmarking files for short term DVD backup, to transfer to the PBell. [21:22] TheMatrix3000: That's a lot. Hang on while I figure out the bash script we need to write [21:22] whitehatnow :sudo service ssh restart [21:23] guntbert: yes. i think it may have to do with some of the upstart/sysv /etc/int.d issues and thus the error [21:23] whitehat :now what it tellssudo service ssh restart [21:23] whitehat :now what it tells sudo service ssh restart [21:23] Any ideas how I can get boinc to be scheduled as low (idle) priority?

[21:24] sshd is not running [21:25] so put that in bash or create a .sh [21:25] whitehat: that "pre-start" looks suspicious, check with ps aux|grep ssh if it running or not [21:25] and log files are not working for sshd === Farmer_ is now known as Farmer [21:25] guntbert: yes [21:25] yes, what?

Should I take the main backup D2D2T and get over it using an overlay of Disk-to-DVD-to-Disk-to-Tape? [21:26] TheMatrix3000: you could do either but it's just a demo. It doesn't do quite what you want. [21:26] TheMatrix3000: But I think it's clear how to get what you want out of it. [21:27] not quite [21:27] TheMatrix3000: Did you get it to run? [21:27] Is there a way to change the display settings easily. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. [21:27] other ideas?

Should I take the backup, take an overlay, and run an fsc(hec)k [21:30] ?

Should I take the backup, take an overlay, and run an fsc(hec)k?

The BIOS reads the HDD (details show up) and then after what has always been the last verification message for the BIOS the HDD ceases activity [21:32] guntbert: yes. i created the directory and it got further. received "address already in use" i think it is ssh-agent [21:33] emprameen: You may have unrecoverable bad sectors. Only solution is to back up and replace the HDD.

Has anyone an idea, what might [21:36] Am I weird to be taking a backup, only to copy it to miniDV tape afterwards? [21:36] TheMatrix3000: -rv is fine (yeah -r is probably needed) [21:37] jjovereats: ok, enough. You've repeated your question (without giving any detail) several times. You know that such repeat is not acceptable. [21:37] if I do a sudo cp -v /etc/skel/Desktop/* /home/*/Desktop/ then i get a "cp: omitting directory" [21:37] I understand. But you know I can lose control of myself. [21:37] TheMatrix3000, use cp -r [21:37] oh I think I see [21:37] jjovereats: and you know what you should do in that case, and the consequences if you don't [21:38] edbian: http://screencast.com/t/nK2Jm0nB5 [21:38] TheMatrix3000: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634546/ [21:38] oCean, now everything's just being weird.

See what my error was? [21:39] jjovereats: I really don't see how such a general question (still without any detail) would be an ubuntu specific issue. I ask you now kindly to stop this discussion in this channel [21:40] oCean: It says the the file shrank. I will be taking overlay backups as a precaution.

[22:04] Testbe_: can you use classic? [22:04] Azrael91 then use pdflatex whatever.tex [22:04] you will need to find out how to install pdflatex first. [22:04] Azrael91 and you will also need to obtain the contents of the git repository [22:05] LjL, thanks [22:05] Terabyte yeah [22:05] Azrael91 http://book.git-scm.com/3_getting_a_git_repository.html === o0oScoRcHo0o is now known as FiresOut [22:05] thank Terabyte [22:05] thanks*** [22:05] np [22:05] repost: Is bsd-mailx a port to Ubuntu? [22:05] i cant load into winxp since i joined 2 partitions together..can i edit my boot.ini through ubuntu? [22:06] kingofswords: yes you can edit boot.ini [22:07] hello :> the version of java currently provided by canonical's "parter" repository (oracle's java, that is) is vulnerable to a number of security issues, including a rather severe one for the browser plugin...is there a way that i could track the latest version for updates or would i have to install it manually? [22:07] kingofswords: Just mount your windows partition and edit it :) [22:07] edbian, its says partition(2) in boot.ini do i just change it to partion 1? [22:08] edbian, yeh ive edited it but still xp doesnt load up [22:08] kingofswords: I am not familiar with the file. Is it on partition 1 now? Worth a shot IMO [22:08] kingofswords: Does windows xp show up in your grub menu? [22:09] edbian, yeh xp is i my boot screen [22:09] kingofswords, just so we understand what's going on, you joined two partitions together? is that right? [22:09] i dont know what grub menu is [22:09] kingofswords: so two separate partitions are now one? or is my reading comp suffering from caffeine withdrawal [22:09] kingofswords: i don't know what a boot screen is [22:10] any advise on my x11 issue? [22:10] ScottR4, yeh i had a fat2gb and 35gbntfs for xp....i formatted that fat 2gb in order to join to 35gb one [22:10] while trying to configure two monitors I've unfortunately disabled the monitor which has the desktop. I only have one screen which has nothing but a background. How can I get the other working [22:10] Terabyte: still googling, have you tried just installing x11 and ssh'ing in? [22:11] ScottR4 i have considered it, but i'm not sure if it's safe now reading around.. [22:11] kingofswords: Windows does not like you moving anything around, you may have to repair the installation [22:11] ScottR4 just looking to see if there's a secure alternative [22:11] hello [22:11] thre [22:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [22:11] kingofswords: You should put windows xp on NTFS partitions [22:11] ^ this [22:11] ScottR4, i was gonna join them once i got back into xp....2gb fat(now ntfs thru ubuntu) is partiion 1 and 35gb is partition 2 i think [22:11] Terabyte: you could always just start x11, connect, do your thing, and then stop x11... no? [22:11] skegeek: Yes, the bsd-mailx package provides the version of the mail command found in BSD, as opposed to the GNU version in the mailutils package or the older BSD version in heirloom-mailx. [22:11] after following this tutorial http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/serveur_mail_avec_postfix_et_courier-imap?s[]=mail&s[]=server can't able to send mail [22:12] Has anyone noticed in 11.04 as a regular user.. tab completion does funky things? for instance if i wanted to cd into /home/something/where .. and if i type /home/somewhere and press tab.. it would create a space rather than show available folders or files [22:12] kingofswords: where was XP originally installed? [22:12] i don't know where the probleme came from [22:12] anyone can help ? [22:12] edbian, yeh i did...i have ssd drive and its funny about installing xp from usb...it create 2gb fat partition in order to copy files to....then installed onto different partition [22:12] ScottR4, xp is on partition 2 the 35gb ntfs [22:12] kingofswords: ooooo k [22:13] its confusing i know lol [22:13] ScottR4 yes that would be fine too, but i'd like to fully understand exactly what the vulnerabilities are. i mean it's just forwarding graphical data over ssh, if you're logged in over ssh that should be the only way to compromise the server. [22:13] kingofswords: :) [22:13] kingofswords: okay. so you currently have partition 1: blank NTFS, partition 2: windows NTFS, right? [22:13] kingofswords: not yet merged, and you can't boot into partition 2? [22:13] ScottR4, correct [22:14] ScottR4, correct too [22:14] repair console in xp doesnt work for me either [22:14] kingofswords: I recommend running sudo update-grub which should re-find your windows partition. I think this is the problem, not boot.ini [22:14] still don't quite understand which way round it is either, the server has the xclient, and the client has the xserver? [22:14] kingofswords: Before you mentioned you didn't know what the grub menu is... grub shows up right after your computer POSTs and gives you a list of installed operating systems [22:14] ScottR4: If you press the shift key [22:14] ? anyone [22:14] ?anyone [22:15] ScottR4, ok..i thought this was boot menu...yeh xp and ubuntu both show up fine in this [22:15] anyone there ? [22:15] edbian: depends on your install, most default ubuntu setups go straight to grub menu [22:15] When I double cick on a php script in gnome, it asks if I want to 'run in terminal', 'display', 'cancel', or 'run'. Is there a way to have it default to 'display' (which will in turn open it in my default editor)? [22:15] kingofswords: and selecting windows xp doesn't boot properly? [22:15] ScottR4: Not since 11.04 now the default is to not show the menu (unless I think, you have 2 or more OSs) [22:15] ScottR4, correct [22:15] kingofswords: I agree with edbian then, sudo update-grub should probably fix everything [22:16] ScottR4, well it doesnt boot at all [22:16] kingofswords: :) [22:16] ScottR4: thanks [22:16] ok..ill do this and reboot brb thx [22:16] edbian: didn't know that, thanks for the update... I'm avoiding 11.04 for now after a bad upgrade experience -_- [22:16] ScottR4: ouch [22:16] I want to use my Android phone as a bluetooth microphone. I have an app that routes the audio from my phone's microphone to the stereo sound. I have Bluez and Blueman. My phone is connected and paired. However, it's coming up as a filesystem - not an audio device. I know my phone supports A2DP streaming, but information is scarce on this subject. With what I've provided, is someone capable of helping me stream the audio output o [22:16] edbian, thx [22:16] kingofswords: hopefully it works [22:17] hope so =) [22:17] i tried to reinstall ubuntu-desktop using "apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop" [22:17] I got the error "E: Invalid operation reinstall" [22:17] What did i do wrong? [22:17] salut [22:17] phillyj: install --reinstall [22:17] Alright, back to the original reason I joined here: Where on earth are the sound commands from the gnome keyboard shortcuts menu stored, and how can I change them (from, say, rhythmbox to banshee) [22:17] oo [22:18] back...didnt reboot but now xp has disapeared from from grub menu according to terminal [22:18] kingofswords: did you modify boot.ini by hand at all? [22:18] hmm, if I spend 1 Milliard Euro and buy canonical, do you think I can make Ubuntu use KDE? :) [22:18] ScottR4, i did [22:18] but changed it back [22:18] Hi there guys. I have a few questions about ubuntu linux [22:18] kingofswords: oh, well that takes care of that. and no windows xp? [22:18] tonyyarusso: now the error is "E: Invalid operation ubuntu-desktop" [22:18] Can I have some help? [22:19] Connor_: just ask away :) [22:19] Connor_: Just ask your question. =D [22:19] i had xp disapear from grub menu last timei change partition thou and only got back when i reinstalled windows [22:19] phillyj: err, what did you type? [22:19] phillyj, "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" [22:19] ScottR4, no xp still just not in grub [22:19] tonyyarusso: sudo apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [22:19] Is there any way to boot ubuntu so I can use my wireless keyboard and mouse? I can't find my wired mouse. I am running ubuntu from a cd on a mac [22:19] phillyj: You forgot the install part. [22:20] kingofswords: Yikes. It sounds like that little 2gb partition was kind of important... [22:20] Connor_: Wireless bluetooth, or with a usb receiver? [22:20] Wireless bluetooth [22:20] tonyyarusso: got it [22:20] ScottR4, yeh it was empty thou just for copying xp install files === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [22:20] Connor_: I'm unfamiliar with your Mac. Does it support bluetooth? [22:21] Connor_: You'll need either a wired mouse or a wired keyboard to pair them the first time. [22:21] hi [22:21] Can anyone help me install sqlite? It should be trivial, but I'm running into problems. [22:21] Erm.... poop [22:21] i had this problem b4 and someone here found solution but i had already reinstalled xp [22:21] I have a wired keyboard, but no mouse that's wird :-( [22:21] geekeasy: apt-get install sqlite3 [22:22] So if I have one but not the other, what do I do? [22:22] and php-sqlite if you use a php script [22:22] Hrm? [22:22] kingofswords: I hate to suggest it, and maybe someone has a better idea, but it sounds like it's time to manually tamper with /boot/grub/menu.lst :-/ [22:23] leftiness. I have a wired keyboard, and wireless mouse [22:23] ScottR4, i think that was prob b4.....but didnt know how to edit it...any sugesstions? [22:23] Connor_: I'm not sure how it works in 11.04, but in 10.04 you can do Alt-F1 to select the main menu, then use the arrow keys to go to System > Preferences > Bluetooth and a combination of arrows and enter to step through the pairing. [22:23] ok. [22:23] When I double cick on a php script in gnome, it asks if I want to 'run in terminal', 'display', 'cancel', or 'run'. Is there a way to have it default to 'display' (which will in turn open it in my default editor)? [22:23] Thank you very much [22:23] kingofswords: sadly, this is beyond my experience... sorry! [22:23] ok [22:23] Wait. Macintosh alt or PC alt [22:24] regular [22:24] so, no one knows how to modify the commands executed with gnome keybindings? [22:24] Connor_: There is certainly a way to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Ubuntu. It just comes down to whether your system supports bluetooth. [22:24] ScottR4, i can find where menu.1st [22:24] ScottR4: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts ? [22:25] leftiness: His issue is that he needs to pair it first. [22:25] martian: right click > properties > open with, set default there for all php; or in nautilus (the file manager) edit > preferences > behavior, set behavior for executable files [22:25] tonyyarusso: Is that for php5? [22:25] tonyyarusso: I'm binding my media player key to "Launch media player", but it wants to run rhythmbox, not banshee( which I just installed) [22:25] tonyyarusso: I think he has a Macbook, so he's using a touchpad and the built-in keyboard. How else would he get to an IRC chat? [22:25] geekeasy: I didn't say anything about PHP. [22:26] martian: not sure if php is reckoned among executables [22:26] kingofswords: shoot, grub2, not grub... I recommend google, you'll get more information there than from me :( [22:26] Whoa... I was obviously lagging behind the chat. I just got a whole screen of chat... [22:26] leftiness: another computer? I didn't see where he said what the machine was. [22:26] I need sqlite for php5. The command i was given to get it is -- apt-get install php5-sqlite [22:26] But that's failing. [22:27] !grub2 | kingofswords did you check this? [22:27] kingofswords did you check this?: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [22:27] geekeasy: failing how? [22:27] VCoolio: ahh, the nautilus setting is what I was hoping to see. Thanks! [22:27] geekeasy: apt-cache search sqlite [22:27] VCoolio, nah thx...illl take a look [22:28] geekeasy: Perhaps try then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite [22:28] is there a way to keep recordmydesktop synchrone?! [22:28] or a better Screen Cast program? [22:28] when I use it always my video is 20 seconds shorter than the audio [22:28] and this just sucks [22:28] BajK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:28] dont think grub is my problem..its bootmgr [22:28] Here's my error. [22:28] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [22:28] php5-sqlite : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5) but 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3 is to be installed [22:29] Can someone point me in the right direction. I am trying to set up Ubuntu Server to accept multiple remote desktop sessions simultaneously. Thanks! :) [22:29] geekeasy: what version of Ubuntu? Does an apt-get update help? [22:29] Hi i'm using gnome if a add workspace 16x16 the squares are too small how to fix thay [22:29] ScottR4 sorted [22:29] that* [22:29] hey [22:29] I'm 90% sure it's ubuntu 10.10 [22:29] Terabyte: What's that now? [22:30] well xclient was already installed, no need to install a server, all that was needed to fix my issue was apt-get install libxtst6 [22:30] i run the bluedevil (bluetooth gui) and it says didnt find any bluetooth adapters.. whats going on? do i have to install something extra? last time i installed ubuntu it worked out of the box [22:30] belal: if you run: sudo hcitool scan doit scan ok? [22:31] Oh hai [22:31] Nope, update doesn't seem to help. [22:31] ActionParsnip: belal@ErebusPC:~$ sudo hcitool scan [22:31] [sudo] password for belal: [22:31] Scanning ... [22:32] geekeasy: Well, 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5 is what is in the repos, so you either need to just do an update first, or fix a repo problem. [22:32] belal: looks good, is the bluetooth scanning? [22:32] sorry, flashing [22:32] man recordmydesktop is so a shitty program -.- [22:32] geekeasy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/php5-common [22:32] could be a GTK applicationm [22:32] ActionParsnip: i have no light for bluetooth on the laptop [22:32] ActionParsnip: but its activated [22:32] I did the update. Should sudo apt-get upgrade php5 move me to a newer version of php5? [22:33] geekeasy: whatever's available in the repos as a newer package [22:33] belal: cool, do other bluetooth softwares work ok [22:33] ActionParsnip: how do i check this? [22:33] ok, I know it's not for this channel, but. How is that google service called that when you enter two words it returns you ten words just like it. So "Kobe bryant", "Mochael Jordan" would return "Shaquille o'neal", "Ray allen", etc. [22:33] ActionParsnip: i have bluedevil at the tray, when i press it it says no adaptor found [22:33] the last time i installed ubuntu it worked fine [22:34] is there any other bluetooth software to try/ [22:34] belal: try a different bluetooth manager [22:35] geekeasy: Do you have the security and updates repository sections enabled? [22:35] !info bluez [22:35] bluez (source: bluez): Bluetooth tools and daemons. In component main, is optional.

[22:38] s/is in/ [22:38] jzbl thank you! [22:38] ActionParsnip: ty anyway [22:39] can kde break unity or something like gnome 3 ? [22:39] !kde [22:39] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [22:39] is root disabled by default on ubunut server? [22:39] and does this still apply to ssh login? [22:39] Terabyte: Yes, and yes. [22:39] Terabyte, yes [22:39] thx [22:39] Terabyte: By default root has no password AND the default sshd config disables root login, so even if you set a password for root it won't be allowed via SSH. [22:39] in general does the state of an account always get mirrored for ssh access? [22:40] ok cool [22:40] Terabyte: Not exactly. In the case of root it's a separate option. [22:40] Can kde break unity or something like gnome 3 do ? [22:40] ok [22:40] PythonSnake: no, it will install kubuntu and you will have the choice at login in the session manager between Ubuntu and Kubuntu. [22:41] PythonSnake: i can't see kde breaking unity personally but I haven't used KDE in about 8 years [22:41] IdleOne: so I need 2 gb more ? [22:42] PythonSnake: not sure how much more space it will require [22:43] Anyone have a choppy/synch issue with video using vlc with a nvidia card ? [22:43] Loonatic: what sound output do you use?

How can I change the visual preferences of qt based interfaces? The hint bar is dark-gray over a black background, unreadable. [22:49] Loonatic: VLC -> Tools -> Pref. -> switch from Simple to All (Advanced) mode -> choose Audio and |> Output modules [22:49] hell I'm having trouble installling ubuntu 10.04 lts, onto a vaio non stock computer. [22:49] how can i take a folder owned as root and make the foldr and all its files owned to me [22:49] Loonatic: try setting Alsa instead of "Default or Pulseaudio" , restart VLC and check [22:50] philipballew: why would you like to do that? Is it a system folder (like /bin) ? [22:50] jzbl: will try that right away here the paste bin for the output : http://pastebin.com/Lphd8bRS [22:51] jzbl, no. i copied music files from my external drive and since the drive mounted as root i guess the folders i coppied are root [22:52] I'm having some trouble installing ubuntu, could someone help? [22:52] neonkid: explain where you're stuck, what error messages are etc. [22:52] does ubuntu server do encryption of home directories? how do i check if it's enabled?

I want to compile the latest version for some app from source [22:53] after having bad session and wiping it (screen -wipe) [22:53] build-dep or something ? [22:53] I can't start screen anymore [22:53] rhalff_: sudo apt-get build-dep package_name; [22:53] jzbl, sorry for being an idiot but what do i pit for my group [22:53] rhalff_: yes, exactly [22:53] I'd like to know what the pwd of a process was when it was started. If I look at it with top I can see it was started with the command "python ./some_file.py" but I have 100 some_file.pys in the system. I'd like to know which it was. [22:53] trism, thanks :-) [22:53] hmm [22:54] If I go to /proc/ there is a symlink called cwd but it seems to go to '/' and that definitely doesnt seem right. [22:54] philipballew: or use the chmod command to add permissions [22:55] philipballew: group is usually the same as username [22:55] How do i get the kernel source for the kernel i'm running? [22:55] Loonatic: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [22:56] Hello? Is the person helping me before still on? [22:56] arosen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [22:56] I still need help [22:56] is it possible to mount a .sqfs file as read-write, or do I have to extract it, edit, the recompress? [22:56] Connor_: whats wrong? [22:56] Well? [22:56] Oh. \ [22:56] Ill tell yu [22:56] !ask | Connor_ [22:56] Connor_: 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. :-) [22:56] Indeed, if I go to "/proc/" and I cat cmdline, I get "python ./some_file.py". But if I ls "cwd" it clearly shows the root directory and there is no some_file.py there. So I'm confused. [22:57] ok [22:58] xvilo is er net aangekomen! xvilo is de Owner van deze bot. [22:58] I tried going into the bluetooth preference pane, and It said that my wireless mouse (apple standard) had connected, but when I moved the mouse, nothing happened.

[23:01] Update: I suppose the /proc//cwd confusion probably has to do with how python starts itself. If I ls -la /proc//fd then I can see that it has a file descriptor open to a particular some_file.py so I figured it out that way. [23:01] what did you say tjiggi_fo? [23:02] I tried going into the bluetooth preference pane, and It said that my wireless mouse (apple standard) had connected, but when I moved the mouse, nothing happened.

[23:12] Would you prefer for me to use prescriptivist rules? === nedbat_ is now known as nedbat [23:13] mehwork: set about 20Gb for / and the rest for /home is how i'd do it [23:13] neonkid: I take it that google dosen't know [23:13] mehwork: If you are not sure on the /home just use LVM [23:13] hi [23:13] howdy frank [23:14] mehwork: If you are not sure on the /home just use LVM [23:14] can someone help me interpret the output of smartctl? Looks like /dev/urandom to me that has been put through a formater that inserts some tabs :) [23:14] well, Considering I've been fighting this vaio for for about 6 months and been through 4 cd's and 2 dvd's I figured it was about time I got help. [23:15] frank_: read the specs or try gsmartmontool [23:15] neonkid: what is the issue? [23:15] i guess the issue is i thought i bought professional, but when I entered the serial for that it didn't work [23:15] valdyn: I wouldn't ask if i didnt already tried to understand the output [23:15] frank_: you can ask specific things [23:16] valdyn: is this disk failing? http://nopaste.info/e4889e6723.html [23:16] :) [23:16] frank_: but its all on the spec, and in googles hd statistics [23:16] well my computer refuses to have linux put on it. [23:16] neonkid: what happens when you try? [23:16] frank_: can you see all tests completing with no error? [23:17] neonkid: When do you get this error? During normal startup? When booting from the install disk? When waking up from hibernation? [23:17] valdyn: I don't see any tests ("not_testing") [23:18] it say's the disc is bad, my optical drive may be dirty, it was a bad burn, that I should burn at a slower speed, it never even loads, or it stops putting out video [23:18] frank_: test was done at some point in the past [23:18] If I want to install things using ./configure; make; make-install, is there a good way to keep things separated from the packages managed by apt? [23:18] so can someone answer a simple question about nmap for me? [23:18] and i'm trying to install it [23:18] frank_: its failing a few times on powerup. If thats happening ever time thats bad, if its not happening again thats not a problem [23:18] neonkid, could you use some usb based media? [23:19] nope, I wish. [23:19] jzbl: does ubuntu have LVM options in the installer or what? [23:19] frank_: s.m.a.r.t. isnt really smart, its just showing whats happening [23:19] is there a way to sync ipod touch on ubuntu? [23:20] derp. i guess not :( [23:20] valdyn: ok thanks. I think it's not reliable anymore. I see this messages in dmesg: http://nopaste.info/ffa2d75427.html [23:20] basix-: i wouldnt trust anything but itunes for true ipod syncing,you can use ipod to 'transfer' though [23:20] k thx mehwork [23:20] TravisD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall or PackagingGuide on the same page at the bottom. You can always look for a PPA for your application or use designated directory like /opt/local for your hand-compiled apps. [23:20] frank_: i install windows in a vbox and use that for itunes [23:20] frank_: thats a result of one such powerup error I assume [23:21] frank_: now, you wouldnt really need smart to detect this error [23:21] frank_: but thats how it is.. [23:21] jzbl: thanks [23:21] I know it has something to do with my hardware though. [23:21] neonkid: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [23:22] no, I downloaded it from ubuntu it self [23:23] still neonkid, i seem to remember there is usually a test install media option when you first boot the cd? if not, you can run an MD5 check on the cd from within your other OS. === FCdll is now known as hacure [23:23] at leasy will tell you that the cd is valid. [23:23] neonkid: doesn't matter, it can be garbaged in transit [23:23] valdyn: sure. I'm looking for a OS drive for my nexenta, since this drive hasn't to be big I tried drives from my old media center pc, that's the background === pedro is now known as pedrosk [23:24] neonkid: where you download it from its completely moot, if it passed MD5 test then the image is goof [23:24] *good [23:24] neonkid: you have not tested the ISO you hacve downloaded so you have no real way of knowing if the data you downloaded was complete or consistent [23:24] I think it's my hardware that's causing the problem. [23:24] neonkid: well you never tested your ISO, good place to start diagnosing [23:24] do you think ubuntu 10.10 is better resource wise than windows vista? [23:25] moses: that is offtopic here [23:25] what why? [23:25] because it isn't friday [23:25] moses: thats a silly question everywhere [23:25] ;) [23:25] i need advice on what linux i should run on this laptop instead of windows vista :( [23:26] moses: ubuntu [23:26] unless I'm the most unlucky guy in the world I doubt it's the iso. ive downloaded different version multiple times and they all fail I think it's my hard ware. [23:26] moses: this is for people with OS issues, everything else is entertained in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:26] moses: as you're asking in [23:26] moses: try ubuntu 10.04, if you like it then stick with it [23:26] !offtopic [23:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:26] #ubuntu, I'd recommend ubuntu. [23:26] neonkid: it still needs doing, you are having issues so you need to isolate what is good to remove it as a possible cause [23:26] try asking in #gentoo or #suse or #redhat ;) [23:27] or #arch === GhostOfTheNet is now known as GhostOfTheNet|zZ === usb is now known as Guest84470 === grekkos is now known as Guest71752 [23:27] or #xpud [23:27] or #debian [23:27] or #fedora [23:27] well I came on here to get help about this not the darn iso thing as I said before I think it's my hardware [23:27] grin [23:28] Hi. I'm having some issues with gksudo, namely that it doesn't work. I don't seem to actually have a .Xauthority file. Is this normal? [23:28] neonkid: checking your iso should be the first thing you do after downloading it, always [23:28] katmagic: tried gksu? [23:28] How do I remove the need to have a password for sudo. What is the best way to do that? [23:29] it doesn't work any better. [23:29] This is a test VM, so I'm not worried about security. [23:29] can we get off the iso thing. I think the problem is with the hardware on the computer [23:29] neonkid: whats the problem? [23:29] remmeber me [23:29] i think the problem is , after I installed unbuntu, when I click on the Windows 7 option, it won't boot into windows.. [23:29] neonkid: well you havent tested the ISO. If the image is bad it will cause all sorts of issues and make all efforts be for nought [23:29] pingveno: %admin ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL although i wouldnt recommend it [23:29] neonkid: it takes literally seconds. Why don't you just do it and we can progress [23:29] neonkid: If you think it's a hardware problem, why are you asking about it in a software support channel? [23:29] pingvenoL using the command visudo [23:29] can anyone help me [23:29] Like I said, I don't seem to have an .Xauthority file. Is that normal? [23:29] open the xorg file [23:29] frank_: What do I need to worry about? Is there something beyond security? [23:30] for me to put this Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "DCLLCD" ModelName "DCL20AT" HorizSync 24 - 82 VertRefresh 50 - 75 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel 945GM" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" EndSubSection EndSection [23:30] neonkid: i can only agree with ActionParsnip [23:30] !details | marck [23:30] marck: 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 ..." [23:30] pingveno: no, just _security_... [23:30] because I might need boot parameters. [23:30] ;P [23:30] neonkid: are you on windows right now? [23:30] Hey guys, I started installing 11.04 and it dropped from the gui install into what looks like my dmesg output. :( [23:30] !md5 [23:30] 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 [23:31] The only thing I'm running in this is scripts that I've written and scripts that my company has written. No security issues there. [23:31] no i'm on ubuntu. [23:31] neonkid: do you have the iso on your pc? [23:31] What is the program that lets you choose what ISP you're using for 3G/4G wifi cards? Is it just an Ubuntu thing, or can I use it on my Arch system? [23:32] phlux: no programs let you choose your isp as far as i know as it depends on your sim or card [23:32] phlux: NetworkManager, to which nm-applet is the graphical interface. [23:32] neonkid: then all you have to do is run: md5sum filename then compare to the hashes [23:32] !hashes | neonkid [23:32] neonkid: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [23:32] phlux, and yes it's available on arch [23:32] !puppy [23:33] I believe it supports most Linux versions, however you should be aware of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5331 when using any sort of wireless with Arch. [23:33] it's not the iso. i'm sure. I think it's the hardware. [23:33] ubottu ur a bot [23:33] marck: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:33] leeeroooy_j: With my wife's Ubuntu system, I just plugged my 3G card in, went to the nm-applet in the panel, and clicked "Connect." It had a list of ISPs (Verizon, Sprint, etc) and automagically connected me to the correct one. [23:33] yea sure [23:33] lier [23:33] mu3en, katmagic: Ah, I use NetworkManager and my wifi works fine, though I've never tried the 3G portion. [23:33] I thought it was some other tool [23:33] how can I make a .Bat file in ubuntu ? [23:33] phlux: yes, that is used to set up your connection, not to let you choose an isp like "today i want verizon tomorrow at&t" [23:33] with the same usb dongle or card or whatever you re using [23:33] neonkid: Try downloading the Debian installer, If that works..... [23:34] CheckMate7: BAT files are for Windows. [23:34] leeeroooy_j: I suppose I could have worded it better (g) [23:34] is that a boot loader or something? [23:34] CheckMate7: you can create bash scripts in Linux [23:34] bonsoir [23:34] CheckMate7: .bat files are just text files with Windows line endings. Though you can create them on Linux, they won't run. [23:34] !bot | marck [23:34] marck: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [23:35] phlux: well i dont mean to offend anyone (dont get me wrong please) but i thought you wanted to switch isp's which would be kinda hard :) [23:35] So how can I run some Ms-dos command on linux ? [23:35] CheckMate7: First, why do you want to? [23:35] CheckMate7: what do you want to achieve? [23:35] CheckMate7: What kind of commands? [23:35] leeeroooy_j: aye, understood. No offense taken :) [23:35] I just want to compile a .py file [23:35] phlux: I'm glad [23:35] neonkid, i think BernardV is suggesting to install debian instead of ubuntu. just to see if it likes your hardware more. [23:35] CheckMate7: Err, what for? [23:35] like this ; python Configure.py [23:36] CheckMate7: That will run the .py file, yes. [23:36] CheckMate7, sudo apt-get install dosbox [23:36] dosbox !! ??? [23:36] neonkid: Nope, "Debian is the Rock Ubuntu is build on..":P Debian is a linux distro, but de base is fairly similar to Ubuntu. [23:36] (p.s. DOS sucks. A lot.) [23:36] Zuhaitz: that won't work. user is using python which won't run in dosbox very well [23:37] ah [23:37] CheckMate7: What is your real question? [23:37] I need ubuntu on the computer though. [23:37] I didn't know what he wanted for [23:37] i need to put this Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "DCLLCD" ModelName "DCL20AT" HorizSync 24 - 82 VertRefresh 50 - 75 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel 945GM" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" EndSubSection EndSection can u help me [23:37] Hi All [23:37] someone can help me about an error during a gcc compilation ? (sorry for my english) [23:37] marck: please use a pastebin for large pastes, it will be more readbale and it won't scroll the channel [23:37] My home directory is recognized as being the Desktop directory. How can I fix this? [23:37] i lost few of the applets earlier today.. I think I got most of them added back except I am missing the left bottom button that minimizes all active windows.. which applet gives that? [23:38] Why neonkid ? You can install Debian in almost the same way Ubuntu runs.. If you install a base Debian system I think you could even add the Ubuntu repositories and upgrade to Ubuntu [23:38] I'm trying to get client side single signon working with SSH keys using pam_ssh [23:38] i am not using unity [23:38] hey anybody can help me? I did un update today and now my Ubuntu slows down so much is unusable [23:38] how can I get command.com ? [23:38] i need the comman that open the xorg.conf file [23:38] how can I undo it? [23:38] BernardV: No, adding Ubuntu repos to Debian is not a good idea. [23:38] The info out there is fairly thin on the ground and I haven't had much luck so far [23:38] neonkid, and it's more as a way to test if your hardware is actually working? [23:38] *command* [23:38] tonyyarusso: ok! Never tried it ;) [23:38] CheckMate7: You can't. command.com is a Windows program. What are you actually trying to achieve? [23:38] axisys: that one is called "show desktop" [23:39] chad___: in gconf-editor go to Have a look in /apps/nautilus/preferences and check that desktop_is_home_dir is not checked [23:39] Keds: You may be interested in the 'ControlMaster' option. [23:39] ineonkid, ie. if you can't boot the debian install it's an indication that your hardware has some issues full stop [23:39] I know the hard ware is working, it runs windows fine. It just dosent like ubuntu [23:39] Has anyone got pam_ssh working for single signon? [23:39] well , can I get that on my ubuntu and let wine run it ? [23:39] leeeroooy_j: let me look for it.. thanks a lot [23:39] axisys: you re welcome [23:39] neonkid: have you tested the RAM using the liveCD? [23:39] ActionParsnip: How would I go about doing this in the XFCE DE? [23:40] neonkid: That doesn't say anything if it runs windows. I have a board that runs linux just fine, but can't install windows :) [23:40] CheckMate7: command.com is for windows. If you are working with python you do NOT need command.com [23:40] So no one knows why I wouldn't have a .Xauthority file? [23:40] is there a way to reset all the applets to default setup ? i think i might be missing another applet [23:40] chad___: hmmm, not sure could install gconf-editor I guess [23:40] axisys: one way would be make another account and use it, I'm not aware of any other [23:40] marck: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:41] i m trying to compile gcc but i have this error: size of array 'off_t_is_large' is negative during the check of FILE_OFFSET_BITS. any idea about this ? [23:41] katmagic: you should have one by default, if you run: cd; la do you not see it [23:41] ActionParsnip: Okay, I'll try it. [23:41] noob here. Is this the right channel to beg for help? [23:41] * BernardV is happy to have a stable DVB-C setup with a Smargo+ smartcard reader :D [23:41] thx robin [23:41] fffffffuuuuuuuuu: yes [23:41] I *do not* have one. [23:41] yup and I tested the ide hard drives, the grafics ard and the processor, all are in good working order. and I had it on there before but it had a failure and now it wont go back on. [23:41] This is my problem. :3 [23:42] neonkid: It could be some bios config.. like a setting vor OS/2 or something [23:42] +- [23:42] leeeroooy_j: right.. and then I could just cheat from it.. thanks [23:42] neonkid are you using a live cd? [23:42] axisys: you're welcome [23:42] neonkid: set your BIOS to failsafe, may help [23:43] a live dvd. and it isnt the bios [23:43] omg i think i'm in love with ubuntu <3 <3 <3 [23:43] What does it mean when mount hangs trying to mount a LUKS volume contained in an LVM volume? With the -v option it hangs on "you didn't specify a filesystem type ... I will try ext4" [23:44] Please tell me it doesn't mean my hard drive is dead. [23:44] neonkid: Do you want to try some suggestions or are you waiting to get an answer of which you think could be the answer. If that's the case you will have to tell everything you have tried... like bios settings etc.. [23:44] Is this the right channel to beg for help about the gcc compilation ? [23:44] fffffffuuuuuuuuu: It means you didn't specify a filesystem type. [23:46] added a -t ext4 (which is the correct file system type). It's just hanging. Is there no way of getting an even more verbose output from mount? [23:47] If I made something with Linux Multimedia Studio, used it freely and openly, what restrictions would I have to follow? [23:47] fffffffuuuuuuuuu: dmesg? [23:47] xarth: Possibly. What are you trying to compile? [23:47] well I have tryed a few different live cd and dvd's (installed on other computer's), tryed wubi, tryed the f6 options and different bios configurations. [23:47] fffffffuuuuuuuuu: dmesg and strace... [23:47] katmagic, a cross compiler for arm [23:47] neonkid: tried booting usb? [23:48] i tried to compile gcc for my native without problems but for arm i have a problem [23:48] The bios wont let me. [23:48] You're trying to compile a compiler that compiles for ARM, or you're trying to compile something for ARM? [23:48] neonkid: What kind of resolution and graphical interface does the vaio have? [23:49] neonkid: do you have a floppy drive? [23:49] what's floppy drive?... [23:49] i m trying to compile a compiler for gcc [23:49] mu3en: takes a 3.5" disk [23:49] sorry for arm [23:49] what command do i run to find the chipset of my wireless card so i can use that info to configure kismet? [23:50] but i have this error: checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files ..... error: size of array 'off_t_is_large' is negative [23:50] tman_tman: id try lshw first [23:50] it has a standerd resolution, 1024x786 or something [23:50] what's the opposite of sudo adduser username admin [23:50] (to de-admin them) [23:50] grin... as in not a 3.5" SATA drive i guess Action Parsnip... [23:50] ok i'll try that [23:50] Terabyte: rmuser you can use -p to remove their home too [23:50] i don't want to delete the user [23:50] i just want to unadmin them [23:51] mu3en: no, they take disks like this http://img.ehowcdn.co.uk/article-page-main/ehow-uk/images/a04/m7/a1/floppy-drive-save-information-800x800.jpg [23:51] Terabyte: ahh, then its not that [23:51] tman_tman: to just focus on your card you may want to put sudo lshw -c network [23:51] one more thing do you know what information i put under the kismet source line in kismet.conf [23:51] xarth: You want to compile a compiler for ARM to compile for arm on a x86 CPU? [23:51] Terabyte: look into usermod to remove them from the admin group [23:51] BernardV, yes [23:51] Hey guys. Just got a new mouse with extra buttons (buttons 6 & 7 I guess). Wondering how I can change what keys they emulate. [23:51] ActionParsnip: I couldn't get to the gconf settings you mentioned [23:51] tman_tman: sorry i don't use kismet [23:52] Then google for "gcc arm toolchain" [23:52] damn...that must hold what..at least a mb and a half ActionParsnip [23:52] ok thats cool thank you very much [23:52] that helped alot [23:52] :) [23:52] chad___: sudo apt-get install gconf-editor [23:52] Does anybody have experience making multiple monitor support for a video card that doesn't automatically register the second display? [23:52] tman_tman: you re welcome :) [23:53] the only floppy drive I have is on the coputer in question [23:53] BernardV, thx, but i will already tried. I followed this tutorial: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/index.html . [23:53] ActionParsnip: I already downloaded it and ran it, but I can't get to /apps/nautilus/preferences. [23:53] computer* [23:53] ebec1983: sadly that is sometimes common, what video card are you using? [23:53] xarth: What's the target? Something like the Mini2440 board? [23:53] ActionParsnip: Those directories are missing [23:53] GeForce 8400 GS. Thanks btw for any help [23:54] BernardV, my target is an arm [23:54] I tried following this guide for mapping more buttons, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto but when I execute "imwheel -c" I get "configuration terminated by signal 11" [23:54] xarth: Maybe you can find some usefull info on http://www.friendlyarm.net something like: http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/1582 [23:54] ebec1983: you re welcome, I'll do my best to help you , could you please tell me/us what version of ubuntu and nvidia drivers you re using? [23:54] how come when ubuntu installs it doesnt take longer to format the disk??? [23:54] BernardV, I compiled different tools used by gcc. (mpfr gmp cloog ppl mpc) [23:54] ok i will check [23:55] thx [23:55] xarth: I have a few ARM boards here, but didn't have the time to test them, so I don't know exactly how to get it working. [23:55] chad___: i see, hmm [23:55] latest desktop and nvidia drivers sorry i'm on windows right now. should i check and come back? [23:55] chad___: do you have the folder $HOME/Desktop ? [23:55] there is #ubuntu-arm too xarth [23:55] ActionParsnip: YEs [23:55] ebec1983: did you install those drivers from jockey? using proprietary ones? [23:56] chad___: I'd ask in #xubuntu too, let me websearch [23:56] proprietary from drivers settings in admin [23:56] still haven't figured it out [23:56] the "typical" way [23:56] ActionParsnip: I did earlier today, but unfortunately it's not nearly as active === sysdoc_ is now known as sysdoc [23:56] sorry i wish i had more [23:56] ebec1983: it would be rather hard to provide you help if you re not on Ubuntu but lets see, do both monitors work with windows in the first place? [23:57] BernardV, my idea is to compile a cross compiler for arm and use qemu to test it [23:57] mu3en, ok i will test [23:57] thx [23:57] not without nvidia drivers. should i check x.org configuration settings and manually add the second monitor? [23:57] chad___: mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/xfdesktoprc [23:57] ebec1983: so with nvidia drivers the 2 monitors work under windows? [23:57] chad___: change show-home=true to show-home=false [23:58] gcc can compile for arm with the right toolchains, I don't know if you can compile gcc for arm... [23:58] Hello. How can I run a program and tell it to always stay on top of the other X windows? [23:58] vlt: i believe its a setting in ccsm [23:58] ActionParsnip: This file is empty. Sjust input that? [23:58] Terabyte: Probably `sudo usermod -G "$(groups $USER | sed -e "s/$BAD_GROUP//;s/ /,/g; s/^,//; s/,$//; s/,,//")" $USER` [23:58] ActionParsnip: So* [23:58] chad___: http://richs-lxh.com/howto-hide-or-show-xfce-desktop-icons/#comment-8006 [23:58] vlt: Or after it's running just set "Always on top" by right-clicking on the title bar [23:58] leeeeroooy, yes they do with nvidia drivers under Windows.
