[00:00] I give up on ubuntu... 3rd crash this week [00:00] is there a kde application to show the globe? [00:00] DriversFixed, what crashed? [00:00] sudokill? [00:00] katmagic, what's next? [00:00] lake: you probably won't get around that. [00:00] sudokill: I don't know, but basically the system hung [00:01] "Cannot open /dev/sda", Viking667 [00:01] lake: then it probably doesn't think you have one. [00:01] lake: try this: dmesg | grep sda [00:01] can i edit grub.cfg [00:01] Don't paste the results here, but tell me if that returns anything [00:01] Viking667: durr, when i run with sudo i get better output :p [00:01] ahhh. lol. [00:01] I don't really know much about forensics, but some of those programs might help you recover things. === jesse is now known as Guest44636 === shockrates is now known as Goliath [00:02] since ubuntu has integrated software, will the community have a gnome-shell distro,while providing the same integration? [00:02] Hello. Having issues with the Broadcom Linux STA wireless driver (it worked on the liveCD, but not after installation/reboot). Anyone have a solution? [00:02] /dev/sda1 is marked for boot [00:02] <[THC]AcidRain> katmagic: how would i rate limit? [00:02] this is for ubuntu 11.04 [00:02] what program was it you suggested? i really don't know what i'm doing. [00:02] lake: is it ext2/3/4? [00:02] ext4 [00:02] hopeandpray: 'apt-cache search foremost' -> foremost - Forensics application to recover data [00:03] lake: and, if you try "sudo fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda1", does it work? [00:03] #ubuntu [00:03] BernardV, thanks. i'll try it. [00:03] I've heard good things about sleuthkit. If you don't know what you're doing though, I'm not sure you'll want to recover data on your own. [00:03] Do you have a large drive you can use for backup? [00:03] Viking667: Device or resource busy [00:03] yes [00:03] If so, you should copy your entire drive byte for byte. [00:03] hopeandpray: run like: foremost -t zip -i /dev/vda1 [00:03] lake: hmmm. [00:04] ok. [00:04] hopeandpray: That will search for "zip" files on interface... [00:04] More options available ofcourse [00:04] hopeandpray, yes backup because the more u use the drive the more chance of them being overwritten [00:04] hopeandpray: dcfldd will help you do that. [00:04] (By that, I mean copy your drive.) [00:04] g2g. [00:04] Viking667: this happened suddenly. super weird. [00:04] just rebooted and it's busted [00:05] hopeandpray: sudokill has a good point! Best is to boot from a live cd and don't use the drive.. mount it RO [00:05] sudokill: i tried explaining that to him.. [00:05] ok sorry [00:05] lake: try lsof [00:05] i think hes pretty screwed though [00:05] sadly [00:05] sudokill: so do i, unfortunately.. this is gonna be a very hard lesson for him. [00:05] Viking667: woah [00:05] lake: bugg..ah. Sorry about that. [00:05] hopeandpray, you should also mention to those who were not helping you before that you have (had) an encrypted home dir and maybe even the pastebin number [00:06] my dad ALWAYS puts family photos etc straight on dvd [00:06] lake: lsof | less [00:06] Anyone got autofs to managed a cifs share on 11.04?! [00:06] sudokill: if he's serious about possibly getting them back, he needs to immediately turn that PC off, and stop dinking with it, and take it to someone who knwos what they are doing. [00:06] then search for sda1 [00:06] but that is gonna cost $$$ [00:06] Viking667: this is my first time using lsof. that is cool! [00:06] yes it will, if it was me id forget about it theyre only photos and take it as a lesson learned [00:06] lol. it's a bit overwhelming [00:07] BernardV, i am funning foremost and the terminal says processing: stdin. what does that mean? [00:07] *running [00:07] not funning [00:07] hah [00:07] sudokill: they're apparently wedding and first born photos. [00:07] yup yup [00:07] only copy of course [00:07] hopeandpray: Did you specify -i /path/to/your/drive/in/dev/ ? [00:08] wasn't told to. [00:08] hopeandpray: seriously, stop... turn the PC off... the more you dink w/ this, the less chance you have of someone who actually knows what they are doing, being able to fix this. [00:08] hopeandpray, no idea how good this is but found this random prog http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ [00:08] KM0201, if you don't want to help me, that's fine. Other's apparently do, so butt out! [00:08] hopeandpray, yes [00:08] backup and try it if ur desperate [00:09] hopeandpray: Take the advice KM0201 said... pull out the hdd and go to a friend ;) [00:09] hi [00:09] hopeandpray, how are things going [00:09] badly [00:09] is TB 5.0 available in 11.04 ? [00:09] hopeandpray: its not that i don't want to.... it's just that the more you dink w/ this, the more likely it becomes you never get your stuff back, stop using the drive, and take the drive to someone who knows what they are doing [00:09] hopeandpray: Are you working of that HDD? [00:09] hopeandpray, hes not trying to offend you. he is saying the more you use the drive, the data might become unrecoverable (if it isnt already) [00:09] Viking667: not sure what pattr to look for. I tried | grep sda [00:09] pattern( [00:09] brb [00:10] BernardV, i don't know what that means. [00:10] hopeandpray i got a good idea [00:10] hopeandpray: you only have one hard drive in the laptop, right? [00:10] hopeandpray: Let me rephrase.. Is it you main drive? [00:10] BernardV: i'm pretty sure, its a laptop. [00:10] there's only one drive. [00:10] KM0201: Thanks :) [00:10] hopeandpray download partedmagic and burn to disk, it has a program called photorec thats supposedly "data recovery" [00:10] is it reliable? [00:11] lol [00:11] Viking667: thanks for the help, i'm going to reboot and see if i get lucky [00:11] well its included on parted magic so it must be good [00:11] "is it reliable"... you're obviously making tons of progress now... [00:11] hopeandpray: Get another computer, burn a live CD, mount the HDD read only and let the forensic software write all "deleted" bytes to an USB drive or so... [00:12] hopeandpray, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec [00:12] hopeandpray, were you able to check the /home/erin folder when /home/erin/.Private was not mounted? [00:12] Is there an " rc.local " file in Ubuntu distros? Or is it called something else? [00:12] wow... slow down. [00:12] hopeandpray, try photorec and read up on it [00:13] BernardV, ok. I will try it on the desktop. [00:13] thats all i can say [00:13] what_if: there is, but I've no idea why it's there. [00:13] sudokill, i tried that site earlier and couldn't get it to work. [00:13] well it will work... [00:13] find out why it doesnt work? [00:13] escott, haven't tried. i know /home/erin .Private is not mounted now. [00:13] hopeandpray: But please don't run your computer on a drive which has deleted files (like told before here..). HDD's work like this: If the file is deleted and it needs some space to write it will use that space, so the deleted file will be corrupted and then there is no chance of getting it back. Every command you type in a terminal will write to disk (bash_history, logs, etc..) [00:13] what_if: /etc/rc.local [00:13] sudokill, ok. [00:14] hey i am using a kde widget (system monitor) and it has an option hardware temperature, but i dont have any sensor installed. how can i do it? [00:14] BernardV, the reality is that if the files are lost then entire partition has been overwritten by a reinstall, some tinkering isn't going to cause much loss for her [00:14] minimec: is it set to execute by default (am not on ubuntu ATM) or does it need a +x ? [00:14] hopeandpray, like i said, download partedmagic, burn it to disk (all with ur desktop) and photorec is already on there... working [00:14] its a livecd [00:14] BernardV, speaking of our desktop, we re-installed by disk on that coumputer also. it didn't touch our files then, so i'm not sure why it did it to my laptop. [00:15] you must have done it wrong [00:15] hopeandpray, if /home/erin/.Private is not listed in the output of mount then there is some slight chance that sudo ls /home/erin will show the old contents [00:15] sudokill, that's what i'm starting to think. [00:15] escott: Ah ok, stepped in late, didn't know that. [00:15] escott, how could i find out? [00:15] what_if: exectuable by default. [00:16] BernardV, its ok. your saying the right thing. [00:16] escott, hopeandpray I know nothing but looking at your pastebin it seems that /home/erin/.Private is still there and am not sure it would be if you had wiped it in a install. like I said I do not know much though [00:16] hopeandpray, just run "sudo ls /home/erin/some/path/to/a/photo/folder" [00:16] hopeandpray, try partedmagic with photorec then. idk how desperate u r. if i could tell u a sure way to get it all back i would, but afaik there isnt such a way [00:16] minimec: thanks for the help and patience... debugging this for someone else :) [00:16] BernardV, escott is right. you didn't have all the info. i really appreciate you trying to help. [00:16] let me repost then. [00:17] hopeandpray, but that would only work if you do NOT see /home/erin/.Private listed in the output of "mount" if you do see it listed then "erin" is still logged in the command "w" (yes a single letter) will tell you what terminal [00:18] KM0201, bur recovering lost files works always on TV "automagically" [00:19] hopeandpray: You have a desktop? If your hdd in your laptop is a sata drive you can connect is easily. And most laptop drives are fixed with 2 small philipsheads.. [00:19] itaylor57: yup, all we gotta do is call that computer chick on criminal minds... she'll figure it out. [00:20] lapaga, http://pastebin.com/z81z0sYW [00:20] hmm... can I ask questions here about X over SSH? === rcmaehl is now known as herobrine === herobrine is now known as rcmaehl === rcmaehl is now known as Removed_Herobrin === Removed_Herobrin is now known as rcmaehl [00:22] hopeandpray, you can run "sudo ls -a /home/erin" and it will show the underlying contents of erin's folder, it might have the old contents [00:22] When you look at an Ubuntu package mirror, and I see they have folders such as release name like (Lucid) and they also have Lucid-Updates. Am I correct in assuming that all of the packages in the main Lucid folder are the ones from the first initial release and never change? But if any packages were updated after the initial release that they all go into the updates directory and stay there, and dont ever get moved to the main folder for [00:23] i got dual screen working, but when i try to drag firefox window from main screen to second one, it doesnt work, just lets me dock it on the rght side of the screen... mouse will scroll over to second screen however [00:23] escott, hopeandpray@Snugglz:~$ sudo ls -a /home/erin [00:23] . Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop .ecryptfs README.txt [00:23] .. .cache .Private [00:23] hopeandpray, its not there [00:23] gone for good? [00:23] This is for an offline machine of course. [00:23] I'm having a hard time configuring X to use my onboard GPU. For instance, running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does absolutely nothing. Anybody would know where to start? [00:24] hopeandpray, photorec/forensics are the last chance [00:24] ok. i'll go try it. thanks to everyone who helped. [00:24] hey there [00:25] hi [00:25] cant find the settings menu to change the resolution in 11.04/unity.. [00:25] could someone provide quick help on that? [00:25] i think its called monitor settings [00:25] in system settings [00:26] where are the system settings? [00:26] i think they are on the shutdown button [00:26] top right [00:26] (dont have the english but a localized german version) [00:26] ah [00:26] thanks [00:26] badly placed i know [00:26] yeah, definitly [00:27] hm [00:27] obviously my eee pc only supports a maximum of 1024px. [00:27] but the main menu looks quite big.. [00:27] maybe it does... [00:27] idk look it up [00:27] sorry about that, I was away for a little. [00:27] is it possible to change the icon size there? [00:27] Viking667: no dice [00:27] not sure [00:28] lake: hm. [00:28] what causes jbd2/sda2-6 to be popping up all the time and accessing the disk like mad? [00:28] why does bind keep adding this to the daemn.log file? " named[1090]: client 192.168.1.10#60187: view internal: RFC 1918 response from Internet for 201.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" also, our network preformace has gone in the toilet [00:28] Viking667: in fact, i'm pretty sure my hd is FFFFFFUUUUUU but i can't really prove it other than i can't boot... [00:28] lake: try this in a shell: $ sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=mybootsector.dat bs=1k count=1 [00:28] Would anyone know what "errno22 - invalid argument " would mean while installing Ubuntu? [00:28] yesteday someone said they could give me a download link to ubuntu where I could put it dirrectly on my flash drive and id work [00:29] o_o [00:29] i cant drag anything to my second screen why [00:29] using 11.04 with unity [00:29] try dragging the other direction? [00:29] anybody here with intel 2000 hd or 3000 hd GPU running ubuntu? [00:30] FluttershyFan, maybe its on the ubuntu website the usb download bit, im not sure if u can put it directly on tho [00:30] Viking667: okay, some output. 1+0 in 1+0 out 1024 bytes copied [00:30] I think I know why that is. I was dealing with that, and still haven't had a satisfactory conclusion [00:30] lake: hm. so that works. [00:30] lake: try this in a shell: $ sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=mybootsector.dat bs=1k count=1000 [00:30] I did the thing with ubunu for it to be able to boot on my hard drive by its self qnd instalk [00:30] Hello [00:31] my hard drive wont boot it [00:31] I have two computers [00:31] 1000 1000 1024 Viking667 [00:31] i had 2 windows partitions...deleted 1st but 2nd has os on. now i cant boot into windows...do i edit my boot.ini and grub.cfg to be able to get back into windows? [00:31] One with ubuntu and one with windows [00:31] The ubuntu one does not have internet [00:31] FluttershyFan, i thought u wanted to boot from usb?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:31] ok [00:31] how do I completely reset a hard drive ? [00:31] FluttershyFan, you too [00:31] lake: hm. [00:31] I was [00:31] FluttershyFan, format it? [00:31] but it wasnt working [00:31] i tried, the mouse will go over, but no app will move with the mouse [00:32] lake: then I don't actually have further suggestions that don't involve serious juju [00:32] I have [00:32] FluttershyFan, on one line. its impossible to read [00:32] FluttershyFan, what do u mean wasnt working? what happened? [00:32] Viking667: serious.... juju? [00:32] yup. [00:32] hmm [00:32] ubuntu wont install on my computer [00:32] why [00:32] waving of dead rubber chickens and so on [00:32] I have two computers,one running ubuntu and one windows,the ubuntu one cannot acess internet, is it possible to download updates and programs in some format that can be then installed on the ubuntu machine?All I can find is the shell commands, which require internet acess [00:32] every type of install try has failed [00:33] HamsterLord, can u not plug the internet from the windows machine into the ubuntu one? [00:33] all wih different errors [00:33] Viking667: i'm willing to try anything. i'm at a loss [00:33] !enter | FluttershyFan [00:33] FluttershyFan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:33] My internet is a wireless modem that doesn't work on ubuntu [00:33] lake: heh. [00:33] FluttershyFan, bad ram could be? overclocked? may sound like a generic answer but bad ram causes completely random errors === ng_ is now known as NG_ [00:33] HamsterLord: Download the "deb" on another computer and install them with "dpkg -i file.deb" [00:34] my computer ran windows just fine [00:34] FluttershyFan: I was the one who mentioned that I could make you an image that could be dd'd directly to the hard drive. I wouldn't call that "completely resetting" the hard drive, though it will make all data currently on the drive irrecoverable (or at least very difficult to recover). [00:34] Is it possible to get the deb from a repository on windows? [00:34] Viking667: maybe you have suggestions on data recovery tools? [00:34] jordan, sure ill try it [00:34] HamsterLord: Sure [00:34] FluttershyFan, maybe a bad ubuntu disc? unlikely though [00:34] HamsterLord, all updates? not practical [00:34] How BernardV? [00:35] Not all [00:35] lake: so, fsck.ext4 -v -v /dev/sda1 [00:35] Just certain programs and updates [00:35] FluttershyFan, formatting the hdd will be enough [00:35] FluttershyFan: What computers do you currently have at your disposal, with what operating systems, and what media (USB drives, blank CDs) ? [00:35] err, prepend that with the usual sudo /sbin/fsck.ext4.... [00:35] HamsterLord, just use wired internet to get the updates then [00:35] the hard drive im installing to is empty [00:35] FluttershyFan, ubuntu formats it anyway [00:35] I cannot acess wired internet [00:35] wireless is a pita [00:36] So how could I reach the repository on windows? [00:36] HamsterLord, you have access now how? [00:36] ie the link, if one exists [00:36] Wireless internet [00:36] Viking667: /dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. [00:36] HamsterLord: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/ [00:36] For example [00:36] HamsterLord: what is your wireless device, do you know? [00:36] Thanks BernardV [00:36] ubuntu live 9 cd, mini windows xp,mini windows 95, 8gb flash drive, pile of blank cds [00:36] lake: hm. That was better than I hoped [00:36] FluttershyFan, why ubuntu 9? [00:36] hey, is there some way I can run a daemon in userspace that's attached to their X session? [00:36] thats old [00:36] no kidding. [00:36] lake: What version of Ubuntu are you using to run fsck from? [00:36] HamsterLord, you will have to get all the dependencies for that yourself, you realize [00:36] My wireless device is a specialized modem from a local phone provider, that aparantly doesn't run on ubuntu [00:37] Viking667: 0 bad blocks [00:37] Jordan_U: 11.04 [00:37] HamsterLord: do you know what brand, etc.? [00:37] First thing is downloading essentials === josh__ is now known as JoshOvki [00:37] I want to setup a daemon that exists in a user's home folder. it'll start when they login and stop when they log out. any ideas? [00:37] HamsterLord, and its packages.ubuntu.com [00:37] The modem seems to be custom, with the companies logo on it [00:38] HamsterLord: You can plugin in a ethernet cable or get a crosslink between your windows pc and the ubuntu one [00:38] FluttershyFan: What OS are you currently connected to IRC from? [00:38] Assuming the both have ethernet [00:38] the ubuntu live 9 cd has a little hole in the data, the cd starts up and seems to work fine but you can install on it because of that, and I got the cd from my brother [00:38] im using my phone to be on this irc [00:38] FluttershyFan, hole? ubuntu 9? [00:38] FluttershyFan, download latest ubuntu and burn to disk [00:38] FluttershyFan: Most cd's have a hole... [00:38] lol [00:38] sudokill: possibly hole in data layer... [00:38] it has hole in the data on side of disk [00:39] lmao [00:39] Viking667: hmm, now i can mount the drive. [00:39] hi there [00:39] lake: there we are... [00:39] and u ownder why it dont install? [00:39] MisterX, hi [00:39] sudokill, thats enough [00:39] FluttershyFan: are you serious?.. [00:39] hole in data part of disc, wont install, random errors [00:39] why? [00:39] lol [00:39] yes.. [00:39] FluttershyFan: Can you connect the computer to the internet via ethernet (rather than wireless)?

[00:40] FluttershyFan: And please use my nick (Jordan_U) in your replies so that I don't miss them. [00:40] i get stuck in gdm, system won't to anything. killing gdm (alt+sysrq+k) works only once and does not better the situation [00:40] HamsterLord, those can work on ubuntu [00:40] does anyone know what the ubuntu equivalent of redhat's "/proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection" is? [00:40] lake: No explanation I can think of, sorry. [00:40] i cant change to tty1-6 [00:40] HamsterLord: If you plug it in, and you run a "lsusb" what does it tell you? [00:40] HamsterLord: thats not really a wireless device, like i said, thats a 3g modem.. much different than a wireless device... and i'm pretty sure if you google, there's probably walk throughs to get that working, because i've saw that device brought up many times. [00:40] and have no idea what to do now :( [00:40] bazhang, come off it, thats like saying someone chopped my computer in half, why isnt it working [00:40] FluttershyFan: the idea is to get a Ubuntu disc that's undamaged. [00:40] MisterX, ctrl+alt+f1-f8 [00:40] oh and I havent checked my hard drive for errors in any way [00:41] hmm, I'l look it up [00:41] sudokill, take the chit chat etc to another location. [00:41] gry: just said, cant change to tty [00:41] geez it has to be said, its common sense [00:41] Viking667: okay, time to try the reboot. thank you, sir. I can breath easier now... [00:41] what program should I use to check my hard drive for errors? [00:41] sudokill, not here. stop. [00:41] FluttershyFan: fsck? [00:41] FluttershyFan: There is probably nothing wrong with your hard drive. [00:42] MisterX, what version you using? [00:42] FluttershyFan: Can you connect the computer to the internet via ethernet (rather than wireless)? [00:42] gry: using 10.10, here [00:42] just encountered some fs errors, but apparently fsck got that fixed… [00:42] well there kinda maby is because it messed up a few days ago and my brother said he reset the partiton table [00:43] (or, at least, doesnt comply anymore) [00:43] filesystem is ext4 [00:43] MisterX, what errors [00:43] Well I'm going to go eat, then read up about getting this modem working on ubuntu [00:43] gry: just the message at the regular tests [00:43] HamsterLord: Good luck [00:43] jordan_u: I can only connect my computer through wifi [00:43] "theres an error on device xyz, press f to try to fix it, i to ignore it, …" [00:44] is TB 5.0 available in 11.04 ?

[00:46] kaushal: yes, just use this ppa. https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable [00:46] gry: live cd (some gentoo-based rescue-thingie) works fine, as does the system when i chroot… [00:46] I'll be ... back. [00:46] its just the system freezing (completely) while trying to login. [00:47] gry: Thanks [00:47] gry: so its safe to use ? [00:47] i also reconfigured gdm (i thought there might be crippled data…) [00:48] FluttershyFan: You can't ask a friend to burn you a CD with Ubuntu 11.04? [00:48] kaushal: yes, it is safe to use [00:48] aj00200: Thanks [00:48] gry: Thanks [00:48] hello [00:49] kaushal, its unsupported though. so if it breaks, its at your own risk [00:49] clear [00:49] I did the thing in windows with the new ubuntu installer and it said it would make my hard drive bootable and install its self from the hard drive but my hard drive wont boot [00:49] wubi? FluttershyFan [00:49] bazhang: ok [00:49] yea [00:49] it doesnt work at all [00:49] bazhang: Stable releases of Thunderbird ? [00:49] what does it mean in that case [00:49] gry: any idea, though? [00:50] FluttershyFan: Yesterday you said something about Windows being only a virtual machine correct? [00:50] kaushal: I think he means #ubuntu doesn't support it [00:50] FluttershyFan, corrupt iso then [00:50] as per https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable [00:50] !ppa | kaushal [00:50] kaushal: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[00:54] i suppose it is ;) [00:54] but how to get that list [00:54] FluttershyFan, you should be able to test the iso with md5 [00:54] sorry, on phone, hard to keeptract of everything, and im running virutal windows xp [00:54] !clone | jswn [00:54] jswn: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [00:54] jswn: dprk --get-installed i think [00:54] dpkg, sorry [00:54] jswn: dpkg -l '*' > test.txt [00:54] thanks a lot, thats exactly what i need! [00:54] dprk is something other ;) [00:55] jswn, that my-packages file will be a list of everything install from apt. gry's suggestion might be easier though ;) [00:55] i have a 1tb windows drive i want to mount, but its not coming easy... i suspect i may have formatted it exfat... [00:55] I am unable to 'force-reload' or 'restart' procps under 10.04, any ideas what's going on here? The init.d script says its an upstart job, the upstart utils dont recognize it [00:55] how can i verify what it is ? [00:56] comes up as unknown in utility [00:56] ZykoticK9: will the list be the same? [00:56] jswn, i imagine the format/presentation will be different - but same list of packages [00:57] the same format, i mean, so i can just install the package list on the second device without too much manual change [00:57] what is md5? how do I get it? [00:57] jswn, if you want to reinstall from the list, use the !clone suggestion [00:57] FluttershyFan, theres a command called md5sum [00:57] okay [00:57] yeah, thats what i want [00:57] !automate [00:57] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [00:58] !cloning [00:58] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [00:58] ok [00:58] off topic i use firefox how to not have ebay heave me auto sign in ?

[01:06] sudokill got it is it under right chlci page to get page info [01:07] sudokill thanks [01:07] FluttershyFan, it means write on 1 line, dont keep pressing enter to write on seperate lines [01:07] FluttershyFan: What virtual machine software are you using? [01:07] Fudge: I have my known_hosts on 644, and authorized_keys on 600 [01:07] jordan_u: windows xp [01:07] Good news:It can work [01:07] Bad news:I can't find my connections username or password [01:08] FluttershyFan: Windows XP isn't a virtual machine software. Do you know what a virtual machine is? What do you mean by "virtual" Windows XP? [01:08] virtualbox? thats what 99.9% people use [01:09] HamsterLord: Try providername as u/p like vodafone/vodafone (that is correct for vodafone) [01:09] My provider is etisalat [01:09] So I'll try that [01:09] Try it [01:09] I mean virutal windows xp, its a small 700mb version that I can put in my computer and it loads into my ram and I have virutal windows xp.. [01:09] so, I logged on to ubuntu 11.04 like I always do [01:10] and for some reason I have a white theme now [01:10] and a bunch of icons look different [01:10] my top bar and terminal background used to be black now they're white, out of nowhere [01:10] im prett sure its virutal because I can take out the cd and it runs [01:11] FluttershyFan: So it's a bootable Windows XP CD, presumably BartPE? ("virtual" is the wrong word to use) [01:11] HamsterLord: google gave me wap/wap for etisalat [01:11] Thanks bernadv [01:11] what do you mean by virutal then? [01:12] And I know the acess number is *99# [01:12] So that should be all the authentication, so I'll download the stuff and switch to linux to see if it works [01:12] FluttershyFan: That doesn't make it virtual. If you can eject the CD and have it continue running though it sounds like you should be able to use that system to burn an Ubuntu 11.04 CD. [01:12] FluttershyFan, virtual normally means u install something like virtualbox on ur OS, and u can run other OS's in the program [01:12] HamsterLord: You'll also need the APN [01:13] internet.etisalat [01:13] HamsterLord: Google: APN-> Etisalat [01:13] ah ok [01:13] why does ubuntu look all weird all of a sudden [01:13] wwttfff [01:13] everything that was once black is now white [01:14] ? [01:14] pure white? [01:14] For my vodafone huawei I use *#99# as the access number not *99# [01:14] <[an]droidman> Gskellig: system settings > appearance > choose ambiance [01:14] how did it change automatically like that? [01:14] oh what? thats not what im talking about. im talking about a cd where it loads windows xp into the ram all by its self, not needing help from another operating system, infact, I dont even need my hard drive in the computer to startup windows xp from the cd [01:14] who knows [01:15] FluttershyFan, a livecd then like bart [01:15] or some other ones [01:15] internet.etisalat? [01:15] even with ambiance its still weird [01:15] the task bar and stuff [01:15] BernardV isn't the access number provider specific? or modem specific? [01:15] FluttershyFan: Understood. Don't call that "virtual" in the future. It's not the correct word and leads to confusion. [01:15] HamsterLord: I don't know...sorry [01:15] what should I call it? [01:15] livecd [01:16] S'okay, you helped out a lot [01:16] a cd that runs "live" [01:16] kk would freeze when at www.gsick.com for the gtk flag lol [01:16] FluttershyFan: A Windows LiveCD, or since it's probably BartPE, "BartPE". [01:17] but when I put the live cd in it lets me take the cd out but for some reason it doesnt let me use the cd drive and technically disables it for some reason [01:17] not sure if many people here use bartpe... [01:17] whats bartpe mean? [01:17] it will ask u to take the cd out, if it copies it all to ram [01:17] FluttershyFan: Virtual windows: http://grabs.debit.nl/Screenshot2011-07-01at2.17.28AM.png [01:18] FluttershyFan, why r u even running it? [01:18] Question for Coders: I get an error while installing Natty that says, "Errno 22- Invalid Argument" Does anyone have any idea what this means? [01:18] FluttershyFan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BartPE [01:18] i am unable to boot into unity when i select ubuntu from gdm though i believe i meet all hardware requirements [01:18] to have something up so my computr isnt completely useless [01:18] Antleeschlot: 1, that's not a code question. [01:18] Antleeschlot: When do you see this error? Can you take a screenshot of it? [01:18] Antleeschlot: Two, what stage of the install do you get it at? [01:19] fdeiam, graphics drivers? [01:19] sudokill, they are current. 173 nvidia [01:19] sudo, oddly enough desktop effects are turned off from ordinary gnome though can be invoked from command line [01:20] FluttershyFan, what was ur original problem again? [01:20] I cant install ubuntu on my computer [01:20] FluttershyFan: Can you just ask a friend to burn an Ubuntu 11.04 LiveCD for you? [01:20] Corey and Jordan-Yes, I have the .log file available. [01:20] not really [01:20] FluttershyFan, why wont it install? what happens? [01:22] sudokill: FluttershyFan needs to install Ubuntu 11.04. All that FluttershyFan currently has at his disposal is an Ubuntu 9.04 (9.10?) liveCD (which is damaged and thus installation fails), a Windows XP LiveCD, and a flash drive. [01:22] any reason why docky has red bounding boxes around the dock items ? http://imagebin.org/160832 [01:22] when I try to install from usb flash drive it says boot error; cant burn any cds because I only have one cd drive [01:22] ohhhhhhhh .. how could i forget! [01:22] Jordan_U: I didn't know Windows XP had Live CD's... [01:22] FluttershyFan, ur screwed until u get a new disk [01:23] it describes "Running use_cd", then "###Running copy_file", then the error. [01:23] FluttershyFan: I would recommend booting from the Windows XP LiveCD, Downloading the latest unetbootin, and using it to load an Ubuntu 11.04 installer onto the USB drive. [01:23] how do I solve that boot error problem? I think I just dont know how to make the usb bootable right [01:23] FluttershyFan, any other discs u got? anything so u can burn a disc? [01:24] FluttershyFan: I would recommend booting from the Windows XP LiveCD, Downloading the latest unetbootin, and using it to load an Ubuntu 11.04 installer onto the USB drive. [01:24] FluttershyFan: Ask some of your friends for a CD/DVD [01:24] I have a cd burner and a pile of blank cds [01:24] how do i run my packge(directory) full of class files from command line on linux? i get ClassNotFoundException. ive tried to set CLASSPATH, ive tried to copy all the class files to the same dir that the java bin is in, not sure what i'm doing wrong and google isnt helping me either [01:24] but only one cd drive.. [01:24] Sheath: Is this a java program you wrote? [01:25] yes [01:25] FluttershyFan, do as jordan said, unetbootin does all the usb stuff for you, you just select the iso top put on it and it will work (normally) [01:25] FluttershyFan: What does that matter? Don't you already have a distribution on your computer? [01:25] FluttershyFan, did you not say a bit ago that you have a hd? why not use the livexp cd to download? [01:25] the windows xp live cd cant connect to internet [01:26] damn u really r buggered [01:26] hey, i can't get evolution to run [01:26] Jordan_U, i wrote all of my classes in separate files then they're all apart of the same package [01:26] FluttershyFan, how on earth u chatting on irc then? [01:26] sudokill: Via cell phone. [01:26] im on my phone [01:26] FluttershyFan: Go over and use one of your friends computers to download and burn the CD then. [01:27] damn [01:27] FluttershyFan, ask a friend/family whatever to burn cd /use their PC. if not go to library or something [01:27] what else can u do? [01:28] This is a really strange conversation because I was actually going to ask something CD/DVD-RW related [01:28] Hey guys does Ubuntu use a .hosts file as Windows does? [01:28] I might have something else useful; in this pile of cds I got fron my brother [01:28] ok... [01:28] !hostname | Poindexter_ [01:28] Poindexter_: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one.

[01:28] nvm i just got it working [01:28] Thanks. [01:29] sudokill: please try to refrain from "u" and "r" and other IM-speak [01:29] sudokill: Yes. Newer Ubuntu liveCDs (i.e. not 9.04) can do it via the "toram" kernel parameter. [01:29] Not hostname .hosts file. [01:29] that ubuntu 9 live cd wouldnt install by its self, but its willing to install now that I got ubuntu loaded [01:29] Poindexter_: /etc/hosts [01:29] Jordan_U, i mean that he has at hand [01:29] :) [01:30] FluttershyFan, ? so its working now? [01:30] huh. ubuntu is installing on my hard drive, even though the data is damaged on the disk.. it might work anyway [01:31] lucky if it works... [01:31] You know like 127.0.0.1 http://.com [01:32] I am having some serious issues blanking my DVD-RW's [01:32] FluttershyFan: If Ubuntu installs successfully don't even attempt to upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 11.04 via update-manager. Just use Ubuntu 9.04 to download and burn an Ubuntu 11.04 CD. [01:32] SektorXI, what r u using to do it?

[01:33] I just called my brother.. he said he put windows on my computer and tried overclocking it and it blew windows to pieces, corrupting the whole hard drive, and thats why he says he rebuilt the partition table [01:33] sudokill: uh... standby [01:33] Is that *99#? [01:33] SektorXI, does the drive work fine otherwise? [01:33] SektorXI: maybe the media has finally been burned once too often? [01:33] very, very useful information now... [01:33] ok..... [01:33] sudokill: the drive is perfect. One sec let me go to Ubuntu pastebin [01:34] SektorXI, if its doing it on windows as well it must be the disc? [01:34] mneptok: Actually it has only been burned once. [01:34] tried other discs? [01:34] sudokill: I have tried all of my DVD-RW's. [01:34] Would the target phone number on wireless modems be in the form of : *99#, *99****1# and such? [01:34] Jordan I did nano /etc/hosts It doesn't look the same as a Windows .hosts file to edit. What is the story there? [01:34] Poindexter_, its the same [01:35] I get an ipv6 thing there. [01:35] Poindexter_: to edit the file you'll have to open it with sudo [01:35] sudokill: http://paste.ubuntu.com/636098/ [01:35] Mneptok I have the file open now. [01:36] Poindexter_: "open the file" and "edit and save the file" are 2 different things. [01:36] SektorXI, "incompatible medium installed" [01:36] Poindexter_: the difference between "read" and "write" [01:36] maybe thats it, the disc? [01:36] I was just curious if I enter 127.0.0.1 [01:36] sudokill: it's like this on every disk. :/ [01:36] :s [01:37] if its doing it on windows, and linux, *surely* its the drive? unless the drive doesnt support those discs? [01:37] sudokill: the ridiculous thing is however, is they are all Memorex DVD-RW's. [01:37] other than that i dont have aclue :( [01:37] Mneptok I was wondering if the 127.0.0.1 command was the same with Linux as with Windows. Or for that matter UNIX. [01:37] sudokill: Hm, maybe it is. unfortunately for me I have no way of confirming that. [01:38] Poindexter_: yes, it is. the file syntax is the same [01:38] sudokill: thanks anyway, bud.

[01:47] !eol > neuro_damage [01:47] neuro_damage, please see my private message [01:47] cpgo, i think in the power options disable the "turn off monitor after x minutes" [01:47] i think it still does the screen blanking either way and is a pita to disable [01:47] thanks guys [01:48] so i want to install a nice easy to use box with graphical interface what would you recommend [01:48] this is ubuntu so [01:48] cpgo: the settings you need are tucked in the Screensaver and Power Management prefs [01:48] gentoo? [01:48] madmn, ubuntu and mint are both easy [01:49] is there a website that walks me through the steps to setup a proper box [01:49] madmn, ubuntu will walk you though the install, its easier to install than windows [01:49] or the same [01:49] mneptok, thank you [01:49] ZykoticK9, sorry should I have addressed you? [01:49] i would like to make it fully accessable from the outside for email ftp [01:49] Who can help with Ubuntu 11.04 installation issues on WIN7 x64? [01:49] madmn, youd have to install it and look up the iptables / ufw [01:49] madmn: Step by step instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [01:50] :q [01:50] anyone has see a problem in ubuntu where video does not refresh unless you move the window? [01:50] siddhi, no, you asked the channel the correct question. I have never used Macros in OpenOffice/LibreOffice. If you don't get an answer here (wait a little while before you give up), see if there is a LibreOffice chat somewhere. Best of luck :) [01:50] what app can i use to burn an .iso ? (windows 7 x64 cd) [01:50] i already have the ubuntu program [01:50] Is it possible to have both nvidia (for on-board gpu) and ati drivers (for discrete card) active on ubuntu? [01:50] madmn, have you installed ubuntu? [01:50] ZykoticK9, thanks :) [01:51] not yet [01:51] mneptok, I don't see any option for video playback but at least I extended the time [01:51] leeloo__, no why would you want to? [01:51] leeloo__: you should be able to associate each driver to a card and each display to a card in your xorg.conf [01:51] i plan on doing the install tonight [01:51] I built the git kernel as shown on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild, when I install it it has a failure building the nvidia module. what will I have to do to get the nvidia driver to work? [01:51] leeloo__, i think the bios disbles onboard when u plug in a proper card anyway [01:51] madmn: Ahh, if it's just going to be used for email and ftp (not sftp?) then you might want to go with Ubuntu server. Note that setting up a proper mail server with any distribution (or any OS for that matter) is going to be difficult. [01:52] okay i really don't need email then [01:52] Anyone know what could cause no sound after upgrade to 11.04? I get sound under the 'test speakers' for sound preferences but no application can play sound. [01:52] i want to share files with my windows boxes if i can [01:52] i want to be able to ssh to the box [01:52] sudokill, but the first was just a 2gb fat partition that was used to copy install files oof xp...os there any way to sort the bootloader out? [01:52] ZykoticK9, first time Ive been in a chatroom for donkeys years. [01:52] madmn: you;ll want to use SFTP, not FTP. it's far easier to set up, and far more secure. [01:52] quentusrex, did you happen to remove Pulse audio from your box? [01:52] sudo< I wanted to run htpc using onboard 6050 and use Radeon 5770 at the same time to do calculations. [01:53] 7050* [01:53] ZykoticK9, not that I am aware of. Checking. [01:53] kingofswords, tbh i havent use dwindows in a long long time. try googling "restore windows bootloader" youll find it easy [01:53] bye [01:53] so i should come back to this channel when i am ready to set it all up [01:53] ZykoticK9, dpkg -l|grep pulseaudio shows a dozen or so packages including 'pulseaudio' [01:54] sudokill, nah not easy...been looking all nite [01:54] kingofswords: you want only the Windows bootloader? [01:54] thx anyway [01:54] madmn, you might as well install it either way youll get it working [01:54] quentusrex, ok - just checking. Good luck. [01:54] should i do the server version though [01:54] madmn, you might as well use desktop if you just want to share files [01:54] im about to install windows 7 on a system that already has a new ubuntu... in an hour when the install finishes im sure it will erase the linux boot, so to fix taht i can use easyBCD to restore the linux boot ?? [01:54] This is not strictly an ubuntu question, but I can't seem to find help anywhere else. I have installed vsftpd on an ubuntu server, that will be used only for testing new updates before being sent to the live server. I have allowed my internal network access through the firewall, and I'm trying to connect from filezilla on win. When trying to connect to the server, I get a connection refused... [01:54] ...error. I can ping the port okay. And from the server, I can connect to localhost. Can anyone give ideas on what I should look for? [01:55] * maaha needs assistance with chatzilla [01:55] madmn, use desktop - you can install services on desktop [01:55] and you want a gui dont you? i dont know anything about ubuntu server but imguessing it hasnt got one [01:55] ty [01:55] sudokill, it doesn't [01:55] dabarons, redo grub after [01:55] windows will overwrite it if you installed it last [01:55] sudokill: why introduce the myriad extra potential security problems of a GUI if all that's needed is openssh-server? [01:55] * maaha would like to craete a on join msg to nickserv [01:55] because he said he wanted graphical interface.. [01:56] Hey guys here is a great little cheat sheet Ubuntu guide. :) http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#extrarepositories [01:56] !grub | dabarons [01:56] dabarons: 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) [01:56] kingofswords: you want only the Windows bootloader? [01:56] ha so funny its a sticky :) thanks [01:57] sudokill, bootmgr missing when i load xp so i think its just bootloader [01:57] thats what i said :s [01:57] pls help im new [01:57] kingofswords: boot from a Windows CD/DVD. get to the recovery console. use "fdisk /mbr" to write a new Windows bootloader to the disk. [01:58] k thanks for the help [01:58] mneptok, i tried fixmbr and fix bootmgr from recovery on windows disk but no jou [01:58] maaha, ask about that in #freenode [01:59] kingofswords: Try asking in ##windows. [01:59] maaha, /join #freenode [01:59] kingofswords: fdisk /mbr [01:59] kingkong: are you able to boot windows [01:59] Jordan_U, nah #windows not such a helpful channel [01:59] mneptok, thx [01:59] bazhang: thanks [01:59] I'm trying to create a live cd (well, usb) with Startup Disk Creator. It seems to work but I get Boot Error when I try to use it. Any help? [01:59] kingofswords: are you able to boot windows? [01:59] KM0201, no [01:59] ok. [02:00] lol windows is not helpful? [02:00] #windows is dead slow [02:00] i tried lurking there [02:00] Jordan_U: i thought you said earlier that utility in the repos could rewrite a windows mbr, from a live cd. [02:00] I am trying to change my wlan0 interface to rausb0. Do I need to download a specific driver to do this? Cannot find any tutorials on this [02:00] jes10000, i've had much better luck with Unetbootin for creating bootable USB media - certainly an alternative if you can't fix SDC [02:00] not sure if i need to change boot.ini and grub.cfg as partition number may of changed [02:00] ZykoticK9, I'll try that, thanks [02:00] boot ini?.. did you use wubi? [02:01] damn id reinstall windows on a clean drive... [02:01] KM0201, dunno what wubu is so guess no [02:01] you're always gona have that mess of a 2gb partition at the start otherwise [02:01] i only have 1 drive....its ssd [02:01] jes10000: when the process completed did you get a message indicating "installation successful"? [02:01] I have installed vsftpd on an ubuntu server, that will be used only for testing new updates before being sent to the live server. I have allowed my internal network access through the firewall, and I'm trying to connect from filezilla on win. When trying to connect to the server, I get a connection refused error. I can ping the port okay. And from the server, I can connect to localhost. Can... [02:01] ...anyone give ideas on what I should look for? [02:02] xp doesnt have drivers for ssd so had to slipstream the xp install [02:02] Jeruvy, yep [02:02] kingofswords, ahci? id reinstall its probably unaligned, and doesnt support trim... waste of ssd [02:02] i can reinstall xp and still keep data on windows partition but i will get the 2gb again [02:02] Rivenge, seeing as it's impossible to "ping a port" how did you test the port is open? [02:03] sudokill, whats ahci? [02:03] jes10000: when you boot, can you go to the bios boot selection and pick your usb? [02:03] sata mode [02:03] ok [02:03] i dont think xp does ahci out the box but it does ide... [02:03] reinstall what? xp? [02:03] yea [02:03] Jeruvy: yes, then when it tries to boot I get Boot Error [02:03] im half way thru gta4...dont reallt wanna start again [02:03] backup the save file [02:04] if thats the only important thing u have [02:04] its games for windows....dont think its so simply [02:04] jes10000; I would suggest repeating the startup disk creator and redoing it. [02:04] i think its in my documents if its games for windows [02:04] or google gta4 save file [02:04] location [02:04] After using 'ifconfig' I can see that I am on an eth0. However I would like to change this to a rausb0. I typed in "ifconfig rausb0" to try to get the interface up, but the device is not found. Is anyone using a rausb0 now? [02:05] KM0201: I did. The install-mbr command from the "mbr" package. [02:05] dont think games4windows saves are easily transfered or copied [02:05] Jeruvy: I did. Is it possible that the iso I downloaded is corrupted? 11.04 from the official site [02:05] KM0201: kingofswords' problem isn't with the mbr though. [02:05] kingofswords, dont you have to log in for games for windows? arent things saved online? [02:05] jes10000: make sure to md5 check this iso you download [02:05] !md5 | jes10000 [02:05] jes10000: 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 [02:05] Jordan_U, nah..do u have any idea what it could be [02:05] sudokill, no lol [02:06] ok [02:06] if its not saved online its saved on the disk, somewhere lol [02:06] kingofswords: No :( [02:06] let me try find it.... [02:06] Rivenge, I think it's something to do with active vs. passive ftp. You need some higher ports open for passive ftp or is it vise-versa? check that stuff [02:06] C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames [02:06] ZykoticK9 Sorry I meant telnet [02:06] first google result... lol [02:07] w30: I'll look into that, thanks [02:07] is there a way to change the screen color for example i would like to tint my screen red for when im using my computer in the dark [02:07] i had same issue b4when i resized my partition....i just reinstlled xp and was fine [02:07] Rivenge, its been a while since I did it , some where around 1024 port range. [02:07] but i remember some1 on here came up with a solution by copying there grub.cfg after i reinstalled [02:07] kingofswords, if i was you, id backup the gta4 save file, format the disk as ntfs with gparted (so it's aligned correctly for ssd) [02:08] xp doesnt align correctly for ssd by default [02:08] sudokill, what does mis-alogned mean? [02:08] Yeah w30 I think I had read something about that, but I didn't think it applied. I'll have to do some more reading [02:08] its to do with the start sector, [02:08] it has to be divisible by 512 [02:09] ahh ok [02:09] danie749: there's one you can use called redshift [02:09] that way youd have a clean drive, proper aligned for the ssd and youd be able to boot [02:09] Rivenge, I believe Windows does passive ftp as default. [02:09] Anyone know about setting up rausb0 on network interface? [02:10] sudokill, thx [02:10] ok [02:10] w30, do you know without searching if I need passive or active? [02:10] Question: Anyone having issues with Pidgin on Ubuntu 10.04 after install? None of my accounts connect. [02:10] h00k, thank you [02:11] i need asssistance on how i can access my Western Digital Network Attached Storage Harddrive via ubuntu [02:11] maaha: what happens when you plug it in? [02:12] its already plugged to my router [02:12] Jeruvy: md5 checks out [02:12] oh [02:12] its a NAS not a USB [02:12] does it ping? [02:12] what? [02:12] does it have an IP address? [02:12] sorry im new i dont know what that is [02:13] im sure it does [02:13] do you know its hostname? [02:13] h00k, how do i use it ? [02:13] no how do i find that [02:14] if you look in your routers ip tables, it will show you which ips are being used [02:15] like open a browser, url 192.168.1.1 [02:15] if I am using an intel processor, I need to get the packages ending in _i386.deb right? [02:16] Or the .dsc ones? [02:16] Roth, if its 32 bit os your using [02:16] Roth, only if you are using 32bit [02:16] Roth, depends -- "uname -m" to determine 32/64 bit [02:16] you can run 64bit on Intel also [02:16] Yeah, I am using 32 bit [02:16] then yes [02:16] Ok,thanks [02:17] uname -a will tell you [02:17] Question: Anyone having issues with Pidgin on Ubuntu 10.04 after install? None of my accounts connect. [02:17] and ah, sorry cause I forgot, the command to install .deb files is "dpkg - what?" [02:17] xdpyinfo is not showing the same resolution as I set in Appearance->Fonts->Resolution. Which one would be the correct one? Ubuntu 10.04.2 x64 [02:17] getting error, says it cannot connect to proxy, etc [02:17] or any server [02:17] cant0r, do you use a firewall? [02:17] Roth: dpkg -i [02:18] maybe open ports? [02:18] jes10000: did you format your usb before installing? [02:18] it was working [02:18] Thanks cant0r [02:18] danie749: this may help: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/alleviate-tired-eyes-in-ubuntu-with-redshift/ [02:18] pidgin was working [02:18] on this install [02:18] cant0r, :s check the pidgin network settings? [02:18] thought maybe they changed the servers or something [02:18] ive never used that program [02:18] Jeruvy: don't think so. how? [02:19] jes10000: from the startup disk creator [02:19] sudokill: yeah, network settings is a server address, port, ssl optional [02:19] not sure [02:19] Jeruvy: I told sdc to erase the drive, that's the only option I saw [02:20] anyone know how to get pidgin in the mail applet indicator thing? [02:20] *disk not drive [02:20] jes10000: once you run the tool, and plugin the drive, you should see it detected. Then select the filesystem and click on 'erase disk'. [02:21] Jeruvy: did that [02:21] jes10000: then during the install, you should get a message saying it needs authentication to install the bootloader [02:21] Jeruvy: I authenticated. a couple times [02:21] h00k, thanks again [02:22] jes10000: then I'd try another usb [02:22] Jeruvy: I thought 4gb for $10 might be a little shady. Thanks for all your help! [02:22] jes10000: good luck. [02:23] anyone know how to get pidgin into the mail applet indicator thing? [02:25] how to i edit fstab [02:25] h00k, ha that was sweet thanks so much this is what i was looking for [02:26] I'm having some hardware troubles, and im not sure if its to do with ubuntu or the actual hardware. I have 2x SSDs with a 3ware 9650SE-2LP Raid Card in RAID0, but only get a max of 10mb/s write speed [02:26] I have a question where are the icon themes store at? [02:27] i try using find but i come up empty [02:27] does anyone know why wired connection may disappera in lucid [02:27] jordan__: /usr/share/icons is most of them [02:27] had to reboo to fix [02:28] mrdeb: ifconfig eth0 up? [02:28] uh i dont see any theme files [02:28] i know about ifconfig but why would it suddenly disappear [02:29] jordan__, what programs icon themes are you looking for exactly? [02:29] jordan__: theme files? I thought you were looking for icons [02:29] MIB [02:29] Men In Black [02:29] suddenly is so vague, not sure [02:29] im using kde [02:30] most of the icons are there [02:30] jordan__, if you are using KDE then you might want to try the #kubuntu channel. I have no idea what MIB is... [02:30] I have no idea why Pidgin was working fine a few days ago and now NONE of the accounts will connect. [02:30] k [02:30] thanks [02:31] when connecting to AIM, pidgin says "Unable to connect: Connection refused" [02:32] cant0r: server down? [02:33] refused .. [02:33] would it be an ipv6 thing [02:34] cant0r: almost definitley not ipv6 [02:34] AIM connects to login.messaging.aol.com [02:34] on 5190 [02:34] no ssl [02:34] and connection refused [02:35] I did uninstall empathy [02:35] well can anyone help? [02:35] but that should not matter [02:35] mrdeb: is this a recurring problem? [02:35] mrdeb: can you make it disappear right now? [02:35] cant0r, try to telnet login.messaging.aol.com 5190 [02:36] works [02:36] connected to login.messaging.aol.com [02:36] cant0r, then it's a client issue, try #empathy maybe === timo_ is now known as Guest92743 [02:36] hmmmm, got to reinstall it. OK [02:37] empathy sucks because it wont let you block users [02:37] i have a command i'm running (aptitude -F %p search '~c') and i want to use a pipe and delete everything that the command lists [02:38] | xargs rm [02:39] thanks [02:39] Oh, those aren't actual files, are they? [02:39] . [02:39] manuva, Hello. [02:39] :3 [02:40] I actually found it searching just a second ago...it's 'xargs dpkg -P'....they're leftover config files [02:40] You probably want to pipe it to `xargs sudo apt-get remove` then. [02:40] exit [02:40] (Erm, assuming you want to remove the packages…) [02:41] thats what she said [02:41] * Cydd high 5's self [02:41] it's supposed to just be packages that were uninstalled [02:41] Hey all! My Ubuntu-only PC won't boot. I just added two HDDs (SATA). All of them are SATA2 but two are plugged into SATA3 ports. In BIOS, it recognizes the one drive that's plugged into the SATA2 port as an option in the Boot menu. The other two are recognized but in a completely different screen "Drive Xpert Setup Utility". [02:42] My Boot HDD is among the drives in that screen [02:42] It's labeled under Port 1 (after Port 0) [02:42] BPower, thats an asus setting, you can disable it [02:43] sudokill, ok... "Update to Normal Mode"? [02:43] yea drive xpert does some raid thing autmoatically [02:43] i never used it [02:44] but if you just want the 2 drives seperately then disable it [02:44] There's three options: "Update to Nomal Mode", "Update to EZ Backup", and "Update To Super Speed" [02:44] there are* [02:44] normal mode [02:44] i think super speed dos some raid 0 thing [02:44] so these are just user-friendly names for raid-X is seems [02:44] ive never played with it but normal mode is safe [02:46] Um, I'm sort of an ubuntu noob. Could someone help me shrink my boot partition? [02:46] wowo [02:47] INeedANewNick: sure. Do you need to edit your / partition? [02:47] INeedANewNick: How many partitions you got? [02:47] Empathy gives the same problem [02:47] I don't know what that means [02:47] any body home [02:47] ?? [02:47] INeedANewNick: How many partitions do you have? [02:47] INeedANewNick, use gparted and extend the free space at the end, if you havent got that then split the boot partition [02:47] Agh I don't know how many. By the way, I was the person who was called driversfixed. [02:47] hi there [02:47] edbian: no idea, I suppose 1? is that the default? No idea how linux filesystem works. sudokill ok [02:48] INeedANewNick: I didn't talk to you before but I don't think that matters. [02:48] i've got some problems with gdm/x11 [02:48] INeedANewNick: Do you have gparted installed? [02:48] edbian, yes you did, I've changed nicks, and no, I don't have it installed [02:48] INeedANewNick, gparted will tell you. do fdisk -l in terminal itll show you [02:48] or df [02:48] 'sudo fdisk -l' [02:48] sudokill, weird. It said "This mode only allows one hard drive to function in the SATA connector." [02:48] sudo dead [02:48] when starting normally, the system wont get past the login-screen (gdm), nothing will work (neither sysrq nor changing to tty) [02:48] kill [02:48] BPower, are the drives blank? [02:48] INeedANewNick: gparted will help you edit your partitions. sudo fdisk -l in the terminal will show you (in CLI) what partitions you ahve. [02:49] sudokill, nope [02:49] it has sth to do with a missing driver which is part of libutouch-grail1 [02:49] reinstalling the package changes nothing [02:49] the driver's still missing [02:49] _______ [02:49] hmm im not sure it it messes them up changing those settings, youd be better off googling drive xpert as i said i never played with it the first thing i did was disable it [02:49] *_SBKBSKJB_* [02:50] k, empathy is connecting, what is wrong with pidgin [02:50] edbian: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/636116/ [02:50] if they were, I'd use "Super Speed" (that'll basically make two drives act as one and share data between the two, i think) [02:50] sudokill, thanks [02:50] Empathy still wont connect to AIM or Yahoo [02:50] INeedANewNick: You don't have a boot partition. Why you wanna shrink it ? (It doesn't exist) [02:50] BPower, yes like raid0 [02:50] edbian: Don't you remember me? The person who installed ubuntu onto an external hdd and it fixed all my driver issues? :p [02:51] edbian: then what am I booting from. i must have bad linux vocab [02:51] INeedANewNick: Umm vaguely remember you. What is the issue then? I see that your 1TB hdd is messed up [02:52] INeedANewNick: It says 'doesn't contain a valid partition table' [02:52] or [02:52] you have 2 identical hdds ? [02:52] edbian: In any case, when I installed linux it says that I used the entire 1tb disk. (external hdd) I borrowed my dad's and I don't want to use the entire disk [02:52] I'm booting off of a usb 2.0 external hdd, just put in 2 samsung f3s [02:53] fuck you stipid nerds [02:53] :) [02:53] :P [02:53] run away [02:53] anyone here using google plus yet? [02:53] INeedANewNick: Ohhh, yes. The external must be sdb. You should boot a live CD. Use gparted to shrink / That's /dev/sdb1 in this case. / is also called the root partition. [02:54] INeedANewNick: gparted is nice and easy (graphical) It will allow you to shrink Ubuntu's / and put some other partition on there. Like an empty NTFS for storage. [02:54] edbian: I need to boot a live cd? So I can't shrink it from here?

[02:54] INeedANewNick: You can't edit partitions you're mounted on and you can't unmount root. so you have to boot a live CD. Since that's the partition you wanna shrink [02:55] INeedANewNick, you need a livecd so the disks arent mounted [02:55] Kk, was just commenting how convenient it was that I had an up to date one on hand [02:55] INeedANewNick: yay :) [02:56] INeedANewNick, you can use an ubuntu livecd not sure if gparted is on the livcd if not install it [02:56] It is [02:56] sudokill: the installer uses I think [02:56] is there a way to block people in Empathy yet? === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [02:56] xorg is unable to load "evdev" driver, so the system freezes in gdm. reinstalling the packages that (should!) contain the packages won't work. [02:56] anyone any idea? [02:57] I cant get my ethernet card to work in 11.04, I believe it needs the e1000e driver [02:57] storrgie, it should work out the box [02:57] intel gigabit yes? [02:57] yes [02:58] 82567LM [02:58] what has better battery life. ati proprietary or open source drivers? [02:58] says dissconnected in network-manager [02:58] frewsxcv, I'm also interested in this [02:58] also, xorg.0.log states "[atiddx] Can not allocate deferred message entry!" several hundred times… [02:58] frewsxcv: I don't think the two drivers will make a significant difference. The biggest power improvement are in the kernel [02:58] frewsxcv: There is some recent big power fix. IDK I saw it on slashdot [02:58] storgie do lspci -v [02:59] edbian: yeah, i don't think yo'ure right there [02:59] does it show up [02:59] frewsxcv: Just my 2 cents :) [02:59] cant0r: Just use a more competent client that can block users. I believe that Pidgin can. [02:59] storrgie: iirc, propietary is more unstable, but has a significantly higher battery life [02:59] significantly faster too [03:00] sudokill, [03:00] https://gist.github.com/1057723 [03:00] storgie its showing the drivers loaded [03:01] have u checked the network settings? [03:01] sudokill, then why doesnt NM see it [03:01] idk [03:01] wired network dissconnected [03:01] every time i plug ethernet, it just doesnt show up [03:01] do you use dhcp? [03:01] yeap [03:01] hey guys [03:02] does anyone know if Canocial or 3rd party has created any L2TP/IPsec clients that are in Ubuntu's software repos? [03:02] storrgie, does it not show up in network manager (so you can edit the settings) at all then? [03:02] sudokill, it does not show up in NM [03:02] whats ifconfig say? [03:03] it shows eth0 [03:03] :s no idea why its not showing [03:03] maybe i should try other cables... but it didnt seem to work on a couple different networks [03:04] even with no cable it should still show up [03:04] i have a similar card and its worked on every distro i tried [03:04] no problems at all except i use ststic ip [03:05] so i have no idea :( sorry [03:07] ok, so I need to do two things, setup hardware RAID, and shrink my ubuntu partition. [03:07] bye! [03:07] storrgie, you could try manuall entering the settings in /etc/network/interfaces but im not sure wht to put for dhcp [03:08] storrgie, does "sudo dhclient eth0" work? [03:08] it should work though....

[03:42] i got some help from the radeon channel.. and the one helper said that everything sounds ok on the graphics card front and that i might just be a unity issue [03:43] i am open to suggestions [03:43] Does the size of the swap partition?

[03:44] gry: thanks, but I've seen that before, no mention of L2TP clients [03:45] gry: I just need someone willing to open the software package app in the menu not synaptics and just type in L2TP and tell me if anything comes up, or a search for VPN and what it shows [03:46] Xgates: have you reviewed this document: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/openswan-l2tp.html [03:46] Jeruvy: I sid GUI clients, not cli :() [03:46] yes been there looked at that many times [03:46] Xgates: good luck with that [03:46] Jeruvy: you use any VPN?

[03:51] Jeruvy: well, it's just that x/gdm misses some driver [03:52] MisterX: I'm sure there are a few :) [03:52] it should (!) be included in some .deb package (named likewise, actualle), but doesnt appear after (re)installing that particular package [03:52] so the system completely freezes when entering the login-screen [03:53] Jeruvy: I cant even restart gdm via sysrq or enter tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1-6) [03:54] what video chipset [03:54] i can boot into console, though [03:54] me? some ati [03:54] MisterX: I can't help with custom kernel changes, but feel free to ask here on in #linux or ##kernel [03:54] there are kernel ppas [03:55] dr_willis: radeon HD 4350 [03:55] and updated x ppas [03:55] i run from ati ;) [03:55] well, its just that the system worked for like a year now [03:56] Dr_Willis there was an old Red Hat program called: Xvidtune have you used it and is it being supported these days?

[04:01] but as a matter of fact: no graphics for me. :) [04:01] sounds like teamsoeak was not the cause [04:01] no, dont think so, either [04:01] dr_willis: the problem is some missing kernel module [04:02] that refuses to being installed [04:02] Dr_Willis I thought there was a command Ctrl + to change the video mode.

I have attempted searching for the error, but similar errors are prominent and unrelated. I would appreciate being pointed toward accurate documentation.

[04:25] SuperLag: you might want to try asking in ##hardware [04:26] The only problem with a high rate of disk space is that Windows XP and below that cannot handle the allocation of the disk. Windows 7 can handle it because it is in the OS. [04:26] Windows [04:26] I'm an Ubuntu user. I figured at least someone here would have hardware similar to what I'm looking for.

[04:45] is there a program that can pass protect a pdf [04:45] W30 the reason why is that in the first place the BIOS is designed to accomodate a certain amount of sectors of a hard drive. If the hard drive has more sectors than what is programmed for then the OS will not see it. I have a 64 gig Memory stick that Windows doeson't want to format it. I have to use a special software from Hewlett Packard to format it. [04:45] i'm having trouble with gimp image editor, none of the tools are doing aything and the layers are unlocked [04:46] well, I guess I just don't know how to fdisk the thing to make it bootable and have /boot the same size, and have the same LVM setup (as the original) on the remainer [04:46] *remainder [04:46] alguien que hable español???

[04:48] Poindexter_, I understand that Windows doesn't like to give up the past so they have crutch after crutch installed rather than break out into something new. [04:49] W30 yes. In fact I use as a rule a Win98 SE SMART Boot Disk for most of my installations. It does the job. [04:50] I created a Bootable CD disk and that does the job.

[04:52] i use ext3 for my usb on linux. its not a 'stupid' thing [04:53] ntfs-3g. works very well. has for some time. [04:53] Well, I use a lot of systems, only a few are *nix. It's a hassle to install drivers on every windows box [04:53] benplaut, I ran into trouble with FAT32 and trying to copy a partition image to it. It was over the file size image limit of FAT32. [04:54] If you use Bart's Boot disks software, you can use a Windows 95 OS or 98 os to create an XP boot disk formatted. [04:54] excellent, thanks dr_Willis. I'm out of the loop for several years, just a user now. [04:54] benplaut, so it depends, I suppose === derp is now known as derp|gone [04:54] a 4gb or so limit, I think? [04:54] benplaut: yes [04:55] benplaut, Lots of bootable recovery disks won't have ntfs support. [04:55] ah, ok [04:55] benplaut, no win win decision avaiolable [04:56] ...as it always has been [04:56] avaiolable/ available [04:56] OK, ntfs it is. Currently copying 400gb off the drive, then back on. [04:56] W30 there is an ISO to create a bootable XP USB stick. [04:56] I have it here.

I use cupsGetJobs to determine the state of the job while it's in the spooler, but what can i use to determine what happens after it goes to the printer? for example, how can i figure out if the paper jammed? or the toner is low? Anyone have an experience with this? [04:58] i went from hdmi to dvi and i'm perfect [04:58] jwash: ummm vgas [04:59] jwash: vga [04:59] digital connection is best [04:59] i believe [04:59] jwash: I thought I could change it like how I changed the font size [04:59] i'm not sure [04:59] by putting like vga=775 or something [05:00] my experience was before boot at the bios level also [05:00] how do i resize something in gimp image editor, its freakin basic, should be in the toolbox [05:00] hello, which is the best video player which supports gpu acceleration? esp for ati cards?

[05:26] !firewall | Deathbringer [05:26] Deathbringer: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [05:27] most all linuxes do Deathbringer [05:27] just not enabled by default [05:28] how do I fix the hibernation issue [05:29] kiichiro: depends on the issue. you got a a swap parrition bigger then your ram?

[05:32] mk, Yea. [05:32] but i dont understand the solution [05:32] my fstab is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/636175/ [05:32] PiX3L: reinstall older. [05:32] mk, From 11.04 to 10.10. [05:32] sorry for my bad english =x [05:32] I'd copied a file into my cool disk, I want to know the date of copying, how can i find it? [05:32] dr_Willis, :O [05:33] PiX3L: even if you can't downgrade, you might disable whatever's annoying you. What don't you like about the new version? [05:33] !downgrade [05:33] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [05:33] mk, Unity. [05:33] what dependencies amsn needs to be able to play animated smilyes? [05:33] somebody can helps me? [05:33] :) had the same problem PiX3L [05:33] go to settings, login [05:33] change the session to ubuntu classic. [05:33] Okay.

[05:34] i went back to 10.04 lts. [05:34] Well, how can I install GNOME shell in ubuntu 10.10? [05:34] get used to unitu. or use lubuntu: :) [05:34] PiX3L: do you mean in 11? [05:35] mk, no, I want to install, GNOME 3 in ubuntu 10.10 [05:35] dr_Willis: it would be easier to get used to it if it didn't crash any program you tried to drag across dual screens :P [05:35] !gnome3 [05:35] 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. [05:35] Anastasius: guess not [05:35] They should wait until November for the next release so we can have Ubuntu 11.11 [05:35] Ooh. :( [05:36] pishi_naznazi136: try ls -l filename [05:36] mk can you help me?

[05:39] rafaht: it can help to ask your question in the chat. people don't like clicking links to find what a question "similar" to your question is [05:40] irs haes to chat ans websurffrom me cellphone [05:40] has anybody managed to get audio output through HDMI on an intel board? [05:43] Dr_Willis have you done any ubuntu apt-get upgrades versus updates? The upgrade took about 20 minutes. I don't know if that upgrade compiled the kernel or not. Do you know? [05:49] Poindexter_: apt-get update and apt-get upgrade are two different things [05:49] True. [05:50] and the upgrade can Install a new kernel. yes [05:50] but they dont compile it. [05:50] Dr_Willis that would mean that the apt-get install updates would fix the dependencies? [05:51] kernel updates a re nit all thatcommon. but not rare. [05:51] Poindexter_: the package manager installs needed depencies. normally [05:52] whats broken exavtly [05:52] After the apt-get install upgrade you would apt-get install update ? [05:52] update. then upgrade [05:53] get list of updates.. upgrade to the vhanges [05:53] apt-get install update doesn't do anything [05:53] its just, apt-get update [05:53] update just regreshes the package listings [05:53] ^^ [05:53] time to read up on apt get [05:53] Dr_Willis good point it does refreshes the package listings. [05:53] hey all [05:54] thats all it does [05:54] anyone use ubuntu server [05:54] what dependencies should i install to be able to play animated smilyes on amsn? [05:54] !apt [05:54] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [05:54] Nobody here uses Ubuntu servers. ;) [05:54] * katmagic does. [05:54] the diff tween server and fesktop are not that great [05:55] ubuntu.org uses ubuntu server :D [05:55] dr_Willis: \ [05:55] my desktop install is a server fir me [05:55] The difference is just what packages are installed. [05:55] The word UBUNTU is synonymous with SERVER. [05:55] default kernel. and packages i belive [05:56] Poindexter_: wat. [05:56] Poindexter_ i had some connections problem to be able to mantain online here so i have to reinstall x-chat with the different version so maybe i missed your answer? [05:56] Poindexter_: no that's not true. [05:56] not in the least [05:56] what are current outstanding issues to basic functionality in natty 11.04 ? [05:56] another ubutnu update everyone [05:56] hint [05:57] security update [05:57] does apparmor check if that packages you were given are certified ubuntu packages ? [05:57] fdeiam: that varies a lot person to person. I think most people who dislike it don't like the changes to the GUI [05:57] fdeiam: also I think you are a bot. [05:58] apparmor is not on ubuntu [05:58] no i am human with very valid questions [05:58] fdeiam: questions that are not related to support and belong in !offtopic [05:58] The word Ubuntu is from an Africa. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a classical African concept. [05:58] none of my questions do not have to do with support [05:58] actually [05:58] i stand corrected [05:59] apparmor is availible [05:59] i've setup ubuntu natty and had my whole system haywire the second time around without any meddling all things were fine [06:00] fdeiam: No. apt does that when you download it. [06:00] The word Ubuntu means generosity or hospitality. [06:00] ["It" being the package.] [06:00] what about boobuntu [06:00] Poindexter_: Before someone else tells you this in a less friendly way, the stuff you are talking about now is not the type of stuff the channel was made for :) [06:00] that would be a great clone for ubuntu [06:01] Poindexter_: thats not what it means at all [06:01] Em thanks for the input.

[06:02] YOU GUYS ARE LAMERS [06:02] lame [06:03] theres that [06:03] Good work, chief. [06:03] * w30 likes #ubuntu-offtopic for stuff that isn't broke [06:04] Oh don't do that. [06:04] is it possible to have multiple network/channel setups? ie - i have two terminals, [06:04] is there a way i can setup 1 to connect to irc.example1.net and another to connect [06:04] to irc.example2.net?

[06:06] Scarylarry do you get Anaconda error message? [06:06] no, i get no error messages [06:07] Poindexter_, ubuntu uses ubiquity, anaconda is fedora [06:07] somebody plesase help me out wifi is connected but no internet [06:07] Anaconda is also Red Hat.

[06:08] morth: cool i suggest #irssi [06:08] yes i did burn it at low speed [06:09] morth: but also you can just /connect irc.othernet.net and then toggle with ctrl+X [06:09] em, thats nothing to do with my comment. please restrain yourself.

[08:13] Howdy as in 'hello' [08:14] cool [08:14] As in "howdy partners" === knives is now known as Guest14211 [08:14] amazing [08:14] pentarex: what causes this error? [08:14] error is probably the las thing you se [08:14] howdy you [08:15] =b [08:15] calvinow: that what I am trying to figure out. Its working normally for 2-3 days and then bam this error [08:15] and I have to hard restart it [08:15] Hello, can anyone help me fix my dns? [08:15] pentarex: does it occur repeatedly? How often? [08:16] Danny_: shoot [08:16] ??? [08:16] Danny_: what is broke/.? [08:16] hello I try to install the newest version of adobe flash but I am unable to download it in firefox cause it wanna open it in atpurl and atpurl says: Unknown channel 'lucid-partner'. The channel 'lucid-partner' is not known and stops.. [08:17] Not sure I just can't connect to the Internet and it has something to do with my dns [08:17] Danny_: how do you connect to the internet? [08:17] What do you mean? [08:18] Danny_: what type of connection [08:18] Wired [08:18] ader10: My point is, it's very hard to read as it is now. I didn't see any obvious errors though, which could mean there's a bug in that version of bash. [08:18] Danny_ : have you tried another browser [08:18] Danny_: wired directly to or thru a network? [08:19] hello I try to install the newest version of adobe flash but I am unable to download it in firefox cause it wanna open it in atpurl and atpurl says: Unknown channel 'lucid-partner'. The channel 'lucid-partner' is not known and stops.. can you help me please? [08:19] I have xubuntu installed on a netbook. Networking has worked in the past (a month ago or so). I _think_ that it started having problems after an update about a month ago. Wondering what the problem might be. Also, wondering why the GUI network tools and the command line (/etc/networks/interfaces) don't seem to sync up (as in ifconfig shows eth0, but ifdown eth0 says there is no such interface) [08:19] Danny_ : or you can't connect to the Internet at all [08:19] Wired through a network, no other browser works [08:19] geirha: #bash says that ubuntu messes is the cause of a bug like this, probably because ubuntu patches bash so much [08:19] Yeah I cannot connect at all [08:20] Danny_ : what's your OS [08:20] Danny_: all other browsers on other machines on the same network do not access internet? [08:20] disregard "messes", my train of thought split in half while writing that [08:21] Ubuntu 10.04, everything else can connect to the Internet just not my computer [08:21] ader10: Could be. The easiest way to tell is to build a vanilla bash and test with that. [08:21] jbrown561: The command-line utilities and network manager never play nice together. That's not a symptom of your problem. [08:21] probably true, but still annoying [08:22] that it is [08:22] right now, the only way I can get a connection (wired or wifi) is via command line tools and then only on wired [08:22] Danny_: did you configure your eth settings? [08:22] Danny_ : everything else connects to the internet using the same cable that you plug to your computer and they work fine [08:23] who can tell me where is this ? [08:24] I've never had to configure it, I'm almost certain it's a network issue === Auriel__ is now known as Auriel [08:24] I don't think it has to do with the cable [08:24] Danny_: can't be a network issue if you are the only one without access to the outside, assuming everyone else is getting out [08:25] anyone knows any software like webmin or cpanel that is free? i have trouble using webmin cause it doesnt work with the login [08:25] Danny_ : yeah then you ned to configure the eth like almoxarife said [08:25] ThePaRaDoX: ispconfig === AJC_Z0 is now known as AJ_Z0 [08:25] I'm not sure exactly how to do that [08:25] Danny_: do you know where to do that? [08:25] th^^: is it web based? [08:25] yes [08:26] i use that on 10.04 LTS server [08:26] on 11.04 desktop?will it wosk? [08:26] work* [08:26] Danny_: system > prefs > netsettings [08:26] ThePaRaDoX: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-11.04-ispconfig-3 [08:27] thx th^^ :) [08:27] Ok then what [08:27] Danny_: system > prefs > net connections [08:27] ThePaRaDoX: http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/documentation/ i recommend following those howtoforge articles step by step [08:27] thx a lot [08:27] appreciate it [08:27] Danny_: under wired, what do you see [08:29] can anyone help me guys. Thank you [08:29] I mean ? not . :P [08:29] Auto etho [08:29] pentarex: what is your question [08:30] Danny_: click edit, look at ipv4 settings, what's it say at top? [08:30] Auto dchp adresses only [08:31] Danny: Tips, instead of you think. state what is not working and pastebin the below for ppl better support you : [08:31] ifconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf; tracepath -n 8.8.8.8; [08:31] pRoV7x: http://imagebin.org/160855 this is my freeze can you tell me is it software freeze or hardware problem [08:31] mh, did thunderbird5 already land in natty? [08:31] Danny_: are you chatting on the same machine with the problem? [08:31] No I'm using my phone [08:32] booting through pxe i need help installing windows 7 [08:32] i set it up to install ubuntu but now i need win7 [08:32] Danny_: same machine getting out via phone? [08:32] pentarex: where do you see this massege [08:32] I'm not sure what you mean? [08:33] Is it possible to set a static IP and a DHCP lease at the same time via "Network Connections"? I know how to do it with /etc/network/interfaces, but I'd use the graphical interface if possible. [08:33] hello :) which is better in powersavings for notebook,?? KDE or GNOME ?? [08:34] Danny_: there is an icon for the network connection on your top bar? [08:34] Yes [08:34] pRoV7x: Ive installed monitor to my server because this is an often problem. It's working 2-3 days and then stops without logs, I cant swtich the consoles with my keyboard (its not working at this time, only the num led is on) And this outputs when its down. I cant understand is it a software issue or hardware [08:35] Danny_: right click on it and read off 'connection info' [08:36] All of the info? [08:36] Danny_: default route? [08:36] 192.168.1.1 [08:36] Danny_: ip address [08:37] 192.168.1.102 [08:37] Danny_: primary dns [08:37] that's my setup :) [08:37] Its not there [08:37] hello :) which is better in powersavings for notebook,?? KDE or GNOME ?? [08:38] Danny_: ok, well that answers that [08:38] xgt001: really doesn't make a difference [08:38] So how do I fix that? [08:38] hi. i try to use ubuntu with kde that is why i want to remove gdm. But after i have removed it it is always automatically reinstalled and i don't know why and how to turn this off. [08:38] does anyone have an idea what can cause this? [08:39] the_p_: gdm won't get auto reinstalled [08:39] the_p_: how are you removing it [08:39] Danny_: lets assume default route provides dns [08:39] pentarex: how many screens are pluged to your server [08:39] ikonia: coz kde has these "aggressive power savings " profile, does it make some difference ? [08:39] xgt001: it really doesn't [08:39] pRoV7x: just one monitor [08:39] Ok... [08:40] the_p_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm and select kdm as login manager. and no, gdm does definitely not get reinstalled automatically :P impossible [08:40] pentarex: did you install the software for that screen into the system? [08:40] Perhaps somebody can help me with my networking settings on my Ubuntu 11.04 - Is there a way to run a "ip addr add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy dev eth0" every time "Network Config" graphical tool configures the ip address of an adapter? [08:40] pRoV7x: It outputs this error even without monitor [08:41] stricjux: you can add static routes in the gui [08:41] Almoxarife, what am I supposed to do? [08:41] Danny_: change the setting where you saw 'address only' to 'auto dhcp' [08:42] Ok, still can't connect [08:42] ikonia, thanks [08:42] Danny_: that would be the setting above the one you have chosen. [08:42] pentarex: you see this error before loging in to your desktop [08:42] Danny_: you need to restart network manager [08:43] pentarex: or does it just come up suddenlly === moses_ is now known as madera [08:43] hi [08:43] pRoV7x: it is a server I dont have GUI, the server is working 2-3 days and then just freeze suddenly [08:43] ikonia: i have to add to my explanations that it is not a plain ubuntu installation. this is a package that is preinstalled on the machine and might be modified. [08:43] still can't get ubuntu to startup in text only [08:43] Hi, I got this error http://pastebin.com/d1LVNhq0 when trying to do sudo apt-get install mpg321 .. Any idea? Thanks [08:43] unetbootin wont let me [08:43] there's no grub [08:43] Ok did that but I am still unable to connect [08:44] the_p_: then ask the person who supports your custom version of ubuntu [08:44] its not custom [08:44] its 11.04 st8 from ubuntu website [08:44] Danny_: tell me in connection info what your primary dns is now === keith2 is now known as alejandro [08:44] But I'm getting a different error now, so it would seem that my dns is working === madera is now known as madara [08:44] th^^: the problem is that i log on with kde and after some time suddenly gdm wants to enter me the password when i do so i can continue my work but it is a bit annoying. [08:45] ikonia, I've set a static ip (without any routes) in the "Routes" popup, but it doesn't seem to get configured properly. [08:45] the_p_: ask someone who supports your custom ubuntu version - we don't [08:45] fairuz: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid/partner Packages [08:45] ikonia: unfortunately i do not get any support from this persion. [08:45] 209.18.47.61 [08:45] fairuz: you have this source twice, remove that [08:45] the_p_: that's not something we can help you with then [08:45] Danny_: cool, it has found a dns [08:45] ikonia: ok thanks anyways. [08:46] the gui for ubuntu is just so clumsy [08:46] Almoxarife: well thats good but I am still unable to connect [08:46] tacky [08:46] the_p_: you mean sometime after computer is idle? check screensaver preferences for locking up screen and requiring password [08:46] pentarex: i don't think i can suggest something for it, but honestly friend i don't think the screen you got has much to do with this error, keep asking your question here, im sure somebody knows what's going on. [08:46] Danny_: that is so, but the issue is not dns related now [08:47] Danny_: do you control the firewall? [08:47] th^^: Ok thanks [08:47] I can although I usually leave it off [08:48] pRoV7x: thank you mate :) sorry for taking from your time [08:48] Danny_: I mean at the router/modem [08:48] Oh yeah [08:48] Danny_: I am asking 'someone keeping you off the internet?' [08:49] th^^: Now I got this error. http://pastebin.com/bMbjPi9D [08:49] Is there a program that would measure time a script takes to run, like 'time', but many times, and average the result? [08:49] No I control the router, do you think it could be an issue with my router settings? [08:49] fairuz: you have some unverified PPA repository there [08:49] fairuz: remove that too :) === madara is now known as moses [08:50] Danny_: I don't want to confuse the issue, if other machines are getting out then l would assume its just related to that one machine/os === moses is now known as madara [08:50] What programs fill the file .xsession-errors? [08:50] Ok [08:50] bullgard4: Xorg [08:50] th^^: ah that might be the case i will check this. thanks. [08:51] Danny_: you haven't dns cached have you? running a cache? [08:51] th^^: OK thanks =) [08:52] I don't think so, but I'm not entirely sure [08:52] Danny_: you would know if you did [08:52] pkkm, somethiong like this forumtread ? >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1396709 [08:52] Oh ok [08:53] Danny_: have you tried to restart your router and give it aa minute to see if that would work. [08:53] Danny_: when you go to google.com on a browser what's it say? [08:53] Yeah, I can try again though [08:53] Webpage is not available === madara is now known as knivez [08:54] Danny_: there is more than one machine on this network? [08:54] If I restart my router though I won't be able to contact for a couple of minutes [08:54] Yeah, there is === knivez is now known as madara [08:54] Danny_: you are using one of them? [08:54] Does anybody know how to configure Ubuntu not to use the "Network Config" GUI tool, but follow configuration written in /etc/network/interfaces ? [08:55] Oer, thanks [08:55] Well I'm on my phone if that counts, but the other machine is someone else's [08:56] Danny_: and that other person is not presently having issues getting out? [08:56] I'm not sure but I doubt it considering I'm still able to connect to network through my phone [08:57] Danny_: try this, restart the machine with the issue [08:57] Ok [08:57] is there a command that tells me what my current wm is? [08:57] Danny_: i really suggest that you unplug the cable from both sides then plug it again, in the right places if it wasn't. [08:58] Danny_: I am assuming the settings that were changes were saved [08:59] Well it has been working before, so I'm sure the cable is in the right place and my computer recognizes it is connected to a network it just can't connect to the Internet [09:00] found it: wmctrl -m | grep Name | awk '{print $2}' [09:00] Restarted the computer but still can't connect [09:00] Danny_: do you have access to the router [09:00] Yes [09:01] Danny_: can you get into the configration page [09:01] Danny_: in connection info, what is the primary dns [09:02] 209.18.47.61 [09:03] Danny_: what is your router? and what is the connection between your router and the ISP? [09:03] Danny_: can that machine create a wifi connection with the router? [09:04] No it can't [09:04] Danny_: your phone did though? [09:04] Yeah, but my machine doesn't have wifi capabilities [09:05] Danny_: ok [09:05] Do you mean what brand is my router? [09:05] Danny_: yeah [09:05] hello [09:05] Linksys, and it's connected directly to a modem [09:06] if i run a bash script with nohup is that kind of like a daemon ? [09:07] Danny_: can you reset it? [09:07] hello [09:07] Yeah [09:07] Danny_: I have seen this work, disconnect yourself from the network, delete the eth0 entry, reconnect the cable and hope for the best :) [09:07] ikonia: Your answer is wrong. On my Ubuntu 11.04 is no Xorg running but .xsession-errors is not empty. [09:08] bullgard4: my answer is not wrong [09:09] ikonia: Reiterating is no help. You need to prove your statement. [09:09] Danny_: reset it, plug it to the modem, give it a couple minutes, then plug the other cables, give them a minute, and try to use the Interent [09:09] bullgard4: no, I don't you need to read the documentation on it [09:09] ikonia: :-) [09:10] Resetting the router didn't work [09:10] bullgard4: using fuser ~/.xsession-errors will show you a list of PID of programs using that file [09:11] Danny_: did you just do that? [09:11] Yes [09:11] Danny_: you gotta give it few minutes [09:11] Danny__: I doubt the router is the issue, the router served up the dns primary, its working [09:12] how many writes with urandom would make data unrecoverable [09:12] So what do you think could be the issue? [09:12] to even the NSA [09:12] like 10? [09:13] Danny__: not sure, you have an ip, and a working dns, I pinged it, its up [09:13] Danny__: you tried getting out again via browser? [09:14] hello. I'm reading a book about Ubuntu and I just discovered ubuntu Irc. The book says that if I'll ask somebody about a problem I must read first the "frecuently asked questions". Where is this? Thanks a lot and sorry for my english [09:14] Yes both of my browser are unable to connect [09:15] Danny__: you have something else that connects to the internet? something like music ????? anything not browser related? [09:15] jmgn: FAQ's about ubuntu or irc? [09:15] Yeah that also doesn't work [09:15] obout Ubuntu [09:16] Danny__: open a terminal and ping that dns [09:16] Danny_: maybe this way works, < almoxarife > Danny_: I have seen this work, disconnect yourself from the network, delete the eth0 entry, reconnect the cable and hope for the best :) [09:17] Hi, I just installed Natty on an old laptop and right now I don't have wireless. It says device is not ready, firmware missing [09:17] Ping was successful [09:17] lspci gives me Broadcom Corp BCM4318 wireless LAN controller [09:18] Any idea? [09:18] jmgn: I would assume the author means looking through https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801404 [09:18] Danny__: ping google.com [09:18] basically, it means searching before asking [09:19] !faq | jmgn [09:19] jmgn: A list of common questions and answers about Ubuntu: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions - Official documentation: http://help.ubuntu.com [09:19] That was successful too I think [09:19] Danny__: it was or it was not, you get a ping response? [09:20] Yes [09:20] Yes, I see. Thanks [09:20] I got a response [09:20] Danny__: in order to ping google.com dns has to be working [09:21] hai [09:21] Yes, well it is working but I am still unable to connect to the Internet [09:21] Danny__: you can connect, you can't browse, two different issues [09:22] oCean: An excellent idea. Thank you very much for your help. -- (I am still studying what the 17 files are that use ~/.xsession-errors .) [09:22] Oh [09:22] Danny__: did you play with the setting on the browser? [09:22] I need to update an ubuntu machine which is not connected to internet. I found some "OfflineUpdateSpec" dated 2006 on the Ubuntu Wiki. What is the preferred way of doing this in Ubuntu today? [09:22] No [09:23] Danny__: play with proxy settings? [09:23] No [09:23] Danny__: in terminal : wget google.com [09:24] Failed to connect, connection refused [09:25] sveinse: Get a current Ubuntu CD and then do an update/upgrade. But this will give you a basic Ubuntu without many extras. [09:25] refused? [09:25] Yes [09:26] bullgard4: I'd like to update a set of packages which is not included in the CD, sorry. [09:26] Danny : in terminal : sudo iptables -L [09:27] sveinse: Get a current Ubuntu DVD.

I didn't mention, no graphics so APTonCD and synaptic is unfortunately is not an option (unless they can be run from cli). -- This is a headless ARM Ubuntu installation [09:30] Hi. Besides reinstalling, are there any script on process allowing a switch from 32bit to 64bit architecture in Ubuntu? [09:30] Danny__: could have shared that [09:30] leagris, i'm pretty sure not [09:30] Sorry [09:31] thanks aureianimus [09:31] sveinse: Not sure if it is more helpful, but there is a specific #ubuntu-arm channel here [09:31] Danny__: which? [09:31] it has been said that which is the best bluetooth adapter compatimble with backtrack? [09:31] MadGirl: backtrack is not supported here [09:31] OK, oCean [09:31] Firestarter [09:31] Danny__: and is it now installed? [09:32] Yeah, should I unistall it? [09:32] Danny__: unless you want to figure out what is wrong with firestarter, yes [09:32] oCean: Thanks, but this is not related to the topics of #ubuntu-arm, it's more about using Ubuntu in general. I'll keep looking. [09:33] Not really don't need it anyway [09:33] Danny__: you should or you know how to set rules [09:33] What do you mean? [09:33] s [09:33] Danny__: firewall rules [09:33] No not really [09:34] Danny__: get back to virgin state, firestarter asks some questions on install as I remember, those questions need to be answered correctly [09:34] hi @all! i createtd a backup of a LVM volume with 600GB (only 40GB used) using LVM ...is there any way I can restort this to a 250GB HDD?

[10:00] wildbat: yes i did nothing more lol i was trying to debug why it is not working, thinkpad acpi is not giving event for some of my multimedia buttons - they are not working, so i started xev to debug keycode - i wanted to map those keys manually but it was already working lol [10:00] Won't Xserver be loaded without connecting display cables? [10:00] Thanks wildbat. I did that. and got gparted up and running from the live CD [10:01] unmount /root first [10:01] perhaps? [10:01] Ah. that may be the problem. Guilty of being an idiot. [10:01] Now how do I unmount root? [10:01] peri_: there is umount option in gparted [10:02] right click>unmount? [10:02] what is after the root partition? [10:03] Thanks wildbat. Much appreciated. Apologies for another question. I have a home folder wth 900 GB in it and only 20 gb used. Will g parted yet the additional space from there? Or do I have to point it to that? [10:03] Manuva - do you mean the order of the partitions? [10:03] meomic: it would be better to figure out why. I haven't played with the thinkpad_acpi driver in a while, but you could add thinkpad_acpi to /etc/modules. like: thinkpad_acpi debug= [10:03] peri_:yes [10:04] you can find the masks here: [10:04] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c;h=77f6e707a2a9a43d4c08777f1a97e42dd49a11a0;hb=HEAD#l228 [10:04] There is a terminal command to use to list them. Can you tell me what it is? [10:04] my thinkpad is dead though :( [10:04] peri_: nope ~ you have to point it to resize [10:04] I took it apart so many times that the plastic became brittle [10:04] How can I set all my windows url links to use a different icon then the text file one? === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a [10:05] * bhundven morns his x61t :...( [10:05] Thanks wildbat.

[10:07] lol [10:07] Ah. Yes. I can shrink the home. OK. Sorry for all the questions wildbat and Manuva. Another question. There are different type of partitions - does that matter? [10:07] sorry i posted in the wrong room [10:07] :) [10:07] william_: :) [10:07] happens [10:07] lol [10:08] you mean the logical/extended/primary one? [10:08] Manuva - yes. That is it.

[10:58] i'm in the process of reinstalling ubuntu on my drive, which already has a /home partition. i'm in "allocate drive space" now. what do i need to choose for "Use as"? Ext3, ext4? if i choose ext4 but the underlying FS isn't ext4, will it be formatted? [10:59] kate_r: for the format, you should have the option of "do not format" [10:59] bhundven, sure. but what if the FS i choose now doesn't match the underlying FS? [11:00] e.g., i choose ext4 but it's actually ext3? [11:00] you can fix it later by editing /etc/fstab [11:00] just make sure you choose do not format [11:01] kate_r: also, if you choose ext4 and it is ext3, the ext4 mount option will still mount ext3 [11:01] i see [11:01] thanks [11:01] ext4 will also mount ext2 [11:01] but not the other way around [11:02] well, I think you can mount ext3 as ext2, but you won't get journalling [11:02] MC8: I see.

I've installed for 2 months and every week I've bad sectors and boot problems. [11:48] CoolBurn, not as far as I'm aware? [11:48] you were supposed to install Ubuntu Natty not Ubuntu Nasy...maybe that's the problem... [11:49] *Nasty [11:49] xD [11:49] gisli-w: It's 'natty'. :) [11:49] mistake XD [11:49] sorry [11:49] I don't like Nasty [11:49] No worries, CoolBurn. [11:49] AFD, you can try firestarter.. that should be easy.. find them in repositories [11:49] OK! Maybe it's a technical hard disk issue... [11:49] No prob CoolBurn. How old is your hard drive? [11:50] CoolBurn, likely unfortunately try some hardware health checker. [11:50] Mhmhm... About 4 years [11:50] that's most likely your answer right there [11:50] Yep. I did! And no problems detected... [11:51] CoolBurn, strange. [11:51] whenever i try to execute -screen-, it segfaults - how do i troubleshoot/fix? [11:51] Also gisli-w, false data, if a hard drives lasts more than one year statistically it's more likely to survive than one younger than a year. [11:51] devral: can you check your logs please? [11:52] hey guys can anyone help me with this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1794562 [11:52] stephanmg: which ones? strace indicates SIGSEGV, beyond that i dont know what to check [11:52] devral: "strace screen" shows you what function it tries to execute before it segfaults, might give you a hint. [11:52] gisli-w, look up google's studies on this as they get through a metric shit tonne of hd's. [11:52] Ok. Thanks anyway guys. I think i will replace HD [11:52] Bye! ^_^ [11:53] SwedeMike: http://pastebin.com/mPb0d5aS [11:53] TheRandom: hehe allright. I just went for the easy and most likely answer. [11:53] Hi, I'm trying to get apache2 to write files (via PHP) to a Windows SMB, I've mounted the directory using cifs but I can't then give www-data write permissions? [11:53] ok solved my vim/clipboard problem. needed to install vim-gnome (or vim-gtk) as suggested on the #vim channel [11:54] devral: what platform is this, amd64 ? [11:55] SwedeMike: yes, i am using ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS x64 [11:56] I installed 10.04 and have kept it up-to-date. Does this mean it should now be at 10.04.2, or do I have to download the 10.04.2 CD and run that? [11:57] devral: oki, I don't have a clue either, I'd log a bug on lanchpad to see if someone there can figure it out. I am using screen on 10.04 LTS amd64 just fine, though. [11:57] blargg, you should be able to update all the way through. === MUILTFN is now known as mphmh [11:57] How can I add thunderbird 5 to the mail indicator? [11:57] blargg: if you keep it dist-upgraded it should be fully updated. [11:57] I don't know how to verify that it's 10.04.2 [11:58] blargg: lsb_release -a in a terminal [11:58] SwedeMike: I fsck'd it a while back to fix the filesystem, and had to restore a bunch of files from backups - think screen is reading a corrupted file i still need to replace? [11:58] blargg: don't worry about it, the .2 is just that the installer image has been updated with new packages, as soon as you dist-upgrade you always get latest of everything. [11:59] devral, I take it the release doesn't show the .2? I get: Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, Release: 10.04 [11:59] devral: that might definitely be a cause, if you have problems with libraries etc then it might cause these problems. [11:59] SwedeMike, ok, that makes sense. thanks. [12:00] SwedeMike: I already did an aptitude remove --purge screen, and an apt-get install --reinstall screen before that -- shouldn't that have fetched everything necessary? [12:00] Hi, I'm trying to get apache2 to write files (via PHP) to a Windows SMB, I've mounted the directory using cifs but I can't then give www-data write permissions [12:01] devral: you might have defective dynamic libraries that are causing this as well, I don't know.

[12:08] cbx33: you won't if you custom kernel has a different version than your current one [12:09] ok - like if i added a -tweak to the name? [12:09] linux-image-2.6.38.2-tweak_2.6.38.2-tweak-10.00.Custom_i386.deb [12:09] for example [12:10] cbx33: sounds more than different compared to standard kernel :) [12:10] hehehe [12:10] i just literally downloaded the source package and "made" it [12:12] i'll give it a go [12:12] does it add entries to grub automatically? === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a [12:15] my laptop's fan turns on randomly , what may be the issue?

[12:16] blargg: ok if i find the cpu usage high how to nail down the culprit process? [12:17] cbx33: sudo update-grub [12:17] xgt001, System->Administration->System Monitor, or the top command [12:17] truepurple: right click on one of the files. propeeties.. icon at top left is button ti change icon. i think [12:18] only for that specific file [12:18] Not for all files of that type [12:18] truepurple: Maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302549 works for you? [12:18] truepurple: or you want to change icon for just 1 file? [12:18] not in gnome so i csnt test it [12:18] xgt001, is this happening over a long period when you don't appear to have anything running otherwise, the fan randomly getting faster and slower? [12:19] I want to change it for all files of that type [12:19] truepurple: Please see the link. [12:20] blargg: i am running a mint 11 install, i installed 2.6.36.4 kernel additionally, and running on it, for few days perfectly smooth operation, but now it turns on randomly [12:20] I did, but I couldn't make much sense of it Gryllida [12:20] ciao [12:20] blargg: i only browse in google chrome with some 10-15 tabs open , and use pidgin , and terminal thats all [12:21] guys, I think I'm running into a bug but cannot find similar stories ... when using Ubu on laptop + extra screen my LVDS1 will dim after a while and never undims again. Anyone here knows this bug? [12:21] this happens in both gnome and kde but does not happen when I use a different window manager [12:22] xgt001, anyway, the idea is to see whether the fan is legitimately coming on due to something using the CPU a lot at random times. You might also see whether the CPU temperature is rising before the fan comes on, and whether the fan turns off once it falls. [12:23] blargg: should i use laptop-mode-tools or pm-utils?

[12:39] xgt0011: do you mean power as in "resources" or power as in battery power [12:39] dr_willi1, most likely the problem was caused by an interrupted upgrade to natty [12:39] dr_willi1, it was running meerkat previously [12:40] anuvrat_: intel driver are nirmslly inclufed. you vould try. but it may be a user config issue [12:40] ikonia, battery power, dr_willi1 becaues there was a bug filed in code.google.com about more wakeups caused by chrome [12:40] dr_willi1, ??

That helped making my connection a *lot* more stable [13:36] new routers are getting cheap. with mire and more features also [13:36] bazhang, this has happend on previous installs on differnt boxen [13:37] kristian-aalborg, so no actual bug link? [13:37] wireless issues do exist.. test with a live cd. perhaps. [13:37] Hello :0 [13:37] kristian-aalborg, indeed it sounds like your router hardware issue and not ubuntu's tcp/ip issues [13:38] then why does it work with debian? [13:38] ive had very few wireless issues in the last 3 releases [13:38] kristian-aalborg, give some actual chipsets. please. [13:39] hetii: Hi. [13:39] Q: is it possible by upstart to display some message that will come from post-start script ?

[13:41] delinquentme: also, what are the general system specs... if it's low on RAM, CPU power, etc.. and you have effects enabled, that can definitely cause instability [13:41] KM0201, i Am running the accelerated nvidia stuff [13:41] delinquentme: that's a terrible answer [13:41] if you want help, learn to answer a question [13:41] noo i havent! im on regular only 10.04 === Gryllida is now known as gry [13:42] delinquentme: then install all updates, and if it still "breaks", come again [13:42] KM0201, BGF tech 6800 OC .. running the after market xserver .. however it froze before that ... additionalyl i've run a single pass on the RAM and it passes [13:42] upgraded 10.04 Becomes 10.04.2 [13:42] Hi there [13:42] My kernel is says ata4 is failing. How do you know what disk is ata4? I'm looking for a mapping between ataX and sdX [13:43] bodom, fdisk -l [13:43] bodom, or mount [13:43] not to mention, 10.04 is over a year old, if the system is really new, might be wise to just start w/ 11.04, unless you're dead nuts set on LTS [13:43] KM0201, nah its a few years old [13:44] bodom, you might need to do "sudo fdisk -l " [13:44] delinquentme, leagris: none of this commands shows me nothing about ata -> sd mapping [13:44] can this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot#Creating%20a%20chroot be used to install operating system on the physical hard drive? [13:44] dr_Willis, can this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot#Creating%20a%20chroot be used to install operating system on the physical hard drive? [13:45] KM0201, there are enough issue in 11.04 with Unity, multiple display bug, modifier handout bug, policy-kit crashes and mixed experience with unity alone for some to prefer staying in LTS for now. [13:45] bodom: exact error msg, please [13:46] ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x [13:46] etc... [13:46] it's the classic "ata4 is dead message", but I don't know what disk is ata4 [13:47] anuvrat_: that type of install is prob mote complex then most people canhandle [13:48] bodom: dmesg | grep -i ata | less <- will tell you what devices are which [13:48] anuvrat_: i know i wouldent want to do it that way. [13:48] bodom: you might need to scroll around to find the actual assignment lines [13:48] dr_Willis, I do it from the live cd environment .. on the mounted root partition of hte HDD .. would that boot normallY? [13:49] anuvrat_, why not install normally? [13:49] why take the gentoo route? [13:49] Atheros AR2425 [13:49] bazhang, ^ [13:50] sudokill, coz I am sitting 600 Km away from the computer and have ssh access to a live environment running on it ... [13:50] szal: it says the disk type and model, but all disks are same model :\ [13:50] the other card that did not work was some old PCMCIA thing [13:50] anuvrat_: if you got lucky. it should work. but i dont see the point. if the thing is booted using the live cd. use the installer [13:50] I don't have neither of the boxen anymore, so hard to do stuff with them [13:50] dr_Willis, its 8. something live CD [13:50] anuvrat_: you can x forward.. or use a shared desktop [13:51] dr_Willis, and? [13:51] anuvrat_, if its a livecd why are things mounted? [13:51] kristian-aalborg, pcmcia cards are notoriously poorly supported in all OS [13:51] 8? egads.... upgrade.. [13:51] bodom, hwinfo | grep ata4 will give you some infos [13:51] my router is an old D-Link of the "g" variety [13:51] there is some remote desktop services that work. but nit sure about that old a release [13:52] hello. i want to connect to an openvpn over an existing vpnc connection. so to access the internet in my network, i have to use a vpnc vpn. i want to route all traffic through an openvpn as well, though, for anonymity purposes. if i connect to the openvpn after having connected to the vpnc vpn, a new tunnel is created, however, firefox and everything else seems to keep using the first tunnel (vpnc). how can i change that? [13:52] none of this software has had issues w/ Debian [13:52] i'm on ubuntu 10.10 [13:52] ssh in x forward enabled. run the gui installer [13:52] kristian-aalborg, not seen that level of issues you describe with atheros chipsets. d-link is a way bigger suspect in my view === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a [13:53] dr_Willis, cool idea .. should work ..

[14:55] Pici: Used https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-Removal to install the newest [14:55] ugarit: you also can edit /etc/default/grub, but that will break if a new kernel comes with an update [14:56] dark2: thats why its nit seen [14:56] I am getting the message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display - it stops the screen saver - how do I fix this [14:56] dark2: That is not the proper way to install Java. [14:56] hello, does anyone have any recommendations for wireless cards to use? i'm building a new box and havent looked at hardware in a long time [14:56] so the GRUB people decided to make things more complicated! [14:56] dr_Willis well it should see it, and I can't reverse it [14:57] ugarit: i find it simpiler [14:57] dr_Willis previously I just had to change an integer [14:57] SirShmoopy: I use the cheapest Linksys that Wal-Mart has at the time and have GREAT results [14:57] dark2: you bypassed the package manager and thus the alternative system [14:58] MagicJ, is that for g or n? [14:58] the latest available version in repo is u26, so you can install java threw the normal way, like apt-get install sun-java6-jre [14:58] I would go g. Nobody uses N [14:58] SirShmoopy: more recently the n - but used to be the B [14:58] dr_Willis so? It shows in the Java control panel [14:59] SirShmoopy: I men g [14:59] just wondering, what is a good program for burning ISOs. Something that will allow to burn at 4x - 8x [14:59] llutz you typed sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/08_os-prober && sudo update-grub, what does 08 represent? [14:59] andantino: linux? k3b is great. I like brasero [14:59] well i have an n router that i havent myself tried hooking up, will be getting around to it at some point [14:59] ugarit: oeswe [14:59] edbian: and SirShmoopy I do not agree that noone uses n - I do and it is a lot faster and more to the point more reliable in an environment where there are other networks [14:59] yeah im using ubuntu....i think brasero only allows as low as 10x [14:59] ugarit: order they appear [15:00] ugarit: it changes the order those scripts are called. [15:00] though i suppose 10x should be safe enough [15:00] andantino: Burning a DVD or a CD? [15:00] cd [15:00] andantino: 10x is really slow then. [15:00] i want to nab zenwalk for an older pc [15:00] ugarit: "08" because it has to be run before "10_linux" to have the windows-entry in front [15:00] first* [15:01] Hi all, I install Squirrel mail server. When I try to login, I get this error message: Error connecting to IMAP server: tls:localhost, What could be problem? any idea, thanks [15:01] not all burners can go real slow these days [15:01] alright ill just use brasero [15:01] 1x speeds :) [15:01] llutz thanks [15:01] llutz:installed sysv-rc-conf, it shows each service with columns 1,2,3,4,5,0,6,S. what this means? [15:01] h [15:01] hi [15:02] thanks folks [15:02] balaji_: those are the old runlevels, just disable it in all columns [15:02] windows 7 sucks ???? [15:02] !runlevel | balaji_ [15:02] balaji_: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [15:02] oskar: We don't care. This channel is for Ubuntu support ony. [15:02] So what am I supposed to do here? [15:02] * andantino gives groups hugs to the ever-helpful linux people [15:03] eregon: "sudo lsof -i :993" to check if your imap-server listens [15:04] grrr left [15:04] grrrr-reat! (frosted flakes) [15:04] Hello, I've been googling for more than an hour to fix my atheros wifi driver with no luck. can anyone help or direct me please? ( 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) ) [15:05] jemmeli: I can help. What driver are you using right now? sudo lspci -k can tell you [15:06] I an using ath5k [15:06] jemmeli: and it doesn't work? [15:06] ubottu: what is meant by upstart job? and what i have to do now to enable/disable. do i have to change in 'S'column? [15:06] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:06] but I also tried ath-pci and compiled madwifi from svn [15:06] no it doesn't work edbian [15:07] edbian, it sais : Kernel driver in use: ath5k Kernel modules: ath_pci, ath5k [15:07] does thta mean both modules are loaded ? [15:07] jemmeli: can you restart and show me the output of dmesg? (I need a fresh restart with no driver mangling to make sense of dmesg [15:07] ok [15:07] just a minute [15:07] jemmeli: the kernel modules line lists modules that are on the system in totoal. the driver in use is what is actually being used [15:08] im on ubuntu, im trying to setup ssl on apache2 and keep getting an error when apache tries to start "[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `localhost' does NOT match server name!?" how do i determine my server name and what common name should I use? [15:08] what do file permissions need to be for an NFS share to be accessible? [15:08] MagicJ, okay thanks, ive been happy with that brand as well, [15:10] jimmy51_, probly rw , should show in fstab entry [15:11] llutz:what is meant by upstart job? [15:11] edbian, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/636373/ [15:11] jemmeli: reading... [15:11] BluesKaj: on the hosts's fstab? [15:12] what is the ubuntu equivallent of httpd -S ?? [15:13] jemmeli: sudo iwlist scan [15:13] Bisu[Shield]: apache2ctl -s [15:13] Bisu[Shield]: apache2ctl -S [15:13] edbian, wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [15:14] jemmeli: sudo ifconfig wlan0 [15:14] jemmeli: the try the scan again === mikec is now known as Guest94024 [15:15] same edbian , should I try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [15:15] jemmeli: you can try that [15:15] any about: "CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid :digit:" ? [15:15] edbian, SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [15:15] jemmeli: sudo iwconfig might be interesting as well. Your /etc/network/interfaces doesn't have any references to wlan0 does it? [15:15] If I install lamp-server... Will I still have desktop Ubuntu? [15:16] jemmeli: ahhh, the card is off. (either in hardware or software). [15:16] need help with installing canon printer [15:16] jemmeli: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill [15:16] i am formatting an external 250 gigabyte harddisk with gparted, should it take really long time to finish ? [15:16] jemmeli: We just found / fixed the problem. [15:17] despite following instructions in the ubuntu forum tutorial, my captstatusui gives me check device path [15:17] yellabs-r2, no it shouldnt [15:17] hmm [15:17] edbian, http://pastebin.com/x76jSmz4 [15:17] yellabs-r2, the only thing which takes long time in gparted is moving a drive [15:17] ok [15:17] jemmeli: did you look at rfkill yet? That's the problem. [15:17] i'm on it edbian [15:18] jemmeli: :) [15:18] @all:anyone help with the canon printer [15:18] When I uninstall Firefox via Synaptic, it forces me to install Chromium. Okay, fine. But if I want to remove Chromium it now wants me to install Epiphany. Why? I have the official Chrome installed, why does Synaptic force me to install these browsers? Ubuntu 11.04. [15:18] since upgrading to natty i have had to reinstall twice.when starting up i get the following "no wubildr".any ideas why? [15:18] nice... i just ran rm -f /. how do you undelete files? [15:18] jemmeli: basically sudo rfkill list and you'll see if it's blocked or not. [15:18] Bisu[Shield]: you can't [15:19] rizzuh: Having a browser is part of gnome. So it wants you to have one. The package manager does not know that chrome is installed because it was installed without the package manager [15:19] rizzuh: It is sometimes annoying. Let me know if you solve this problem! [15:19] ok [15:19] I will try edbian [15:19] hmmm i got prompted to install updates and now i have a warning that says The Update Information is updated [15:19] jemmeli: sure [15:19] etc etc, when I manually update it says that some packages were not able to download === arif_ is now known as mita [15:20] !undelete > Bisu[Shield] (but it probably isn't worth the effort) [15:20] Bisu[Shield], please see my private message [15:20] edibian, it does know Chrome is installed because Google's repository is installed. It was installed via the Software Center, which I suspect used dpkg/apt-get internally. [15:20] rizzuh: Mmm, PPAs should be caught by the package manager. Maybe it doesn't count for some other reason? IDK [15:21] make; sudo make install will do the job right? just to make sure. [15:21] jemmeli: what? No. What are you making? [15:21] edbian: well they are. Why does Gnome want its own browsers? This has to be a recent update, as it didn't behave this way. [15:21] rizzuh: It behaves that way on Debian. I just noticed it a couple months ago. I don't know why. [15:21] http://wireless.kernel.org/download/rfkill/rfkill-0.4.tar.bz2 [15:21] edbian: sigh :< [15:21] When I uninstall Firefox via Synaptic, it forces me to install Chromium. Okay, fine. But if I want to remove Chromium it now wants me to install Epiphany. Why? I have the official Chrome installed, why does Synaptic force me to install these browsers? Ubuntu 11.04. [15:21] jemmeli: You don't have to install it. You alright have it. [15:21] brainwave92: what problem are you having? i did canon printer installation successfully using the driver provided in canon site. [15:22] ah ok [15:22] jemmeli: You already have it. sudo rfkill list [15:22] thank you [15:22] jemmeli: sure [15:22] jemmeli: close call there. [15:22] jemmeli: You're like 2 commands / steps from fixing the problem. [15:22] balaji_, can i pm you? [15:22] rizzuh, chromium isa better choice for linux .. recommend the default version in the repos [15:22] * edbian agrees rizzuh [15:23] BluesKaj: I use the beta Chrome. Same thing, but with Google's branding. Besides, it's newer than the Ubuntu repositories. [15:23] edbian, http://pastebin.com/npbKQ2xb [15:23] brainwave92:yeah [15:23] rizzuh, newer isn't nessarily better or more stable [15:24] jemmeli: your wifi switch is on? [15:24] yes edbian [15:24] jemmeli: you wifi switch is set to 'off' rather [15:24] jemmeli: sudo rfkill unblock 0 [15:24] BluesKaj: It's not that I don't know the consequences. But Chrome is updated a LOT more often than Ubuntu does in the repositories. Being a web developer, I kinda want to have complete control over the browsers. [15:24] jemmeli: Will unblock phy0 I'm not sure why there are 2 listed btw === scool is now known as Guest3605 [15:24] it doesn't switch on and off. it is just blue and doesn't change when I push it. [15:24] ok [15:25] jemmeli: The light might not change but I bet the output of sudo rfkill list changes [15:25] does anyone one know of a barebones varient of ubuntu? [15:25] ok [15:25] jemmeli: Do you get what this is? rfkill lists if the card is blocked in software or hardware. The switch is a hardware block. [15:25] evon: Linux From Scratch ;) [15:25] BluesKaj, edbian, For some weird reason, Software Center removes it fine without requiring anything. Synaptic insists on installing other browsers. O_o [15:25] edbian: it's not - please don't [15:25] you are right hp-wifi is not hardblocked anymore now [15:26] !minimal | evon [15:26] evon: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:26] rizzuh: ha, strange! [15:26] jemmeli: yep. So is it softblocked still ? [15:26] yes [15:26] edbian and pici thanks [15:26] evon: That was not serious! [15:26] evon: LFS is not affiliated with Ubuntu at all. [15:26] jemmeli: so unblock it with rfkill [15:27] one moment please [15:27] pici i noticed that [15:27] pici i'm looking for the minimal cd now [15:27] evon: The minimal CD is just minimal in size. It still installs a full Ubuntu system. [15:28] edbian: No it does not. [15:28] edbian, I unblocked hp-wifi (1) should I ublock phy0 too (0) ? [15:28] Pici: it doesn't? [15:28] I'm gonna shut up now [15:28] ok [15:28] it works now [15:28] jemmeli: yes. unblock everything [15:28] edbian: "...allowing you to select only those you want" [15:28] jemmeli: yay [15:28] thank you verymuch edbian [15:28] jemmeli: works? [15:28] jemmeli: yay [15:28] I had to unblock phy0 too [15:28] Pici: mmm, never knew that! [15:28] jemmeli: sure [15:28] thank you verymuch edbian : ) [15:28] pici: what is the absolute minimum i need to install virtualbox? [15:29] jemmeli: sure [15:29] evon: You can download the server CD, prses F4 when it boots and select the "Install minimum system" option. [15:29] comum.MessageDoCliente@1de498 [15:30] evon: If minimal is what you were trying to go for, I'd go towards KVM rather than virtualbox. [15:30] jpds, will that give me a gui? cause i need a gui. [15:30] evon: No. [15:30] oups [15:30] pici. i've never heard of kvm. does it have a gui? cause I am not good with commandiline [15:31] edbian, how do I hard unblock please? [15:31] Hardly minimal when you have a GUI. [15:31] jemmeli: using the switch [15:31] !info virt-manager | evon [15:31] evon: virt-manager (source: virt-manager): desktop application for managing virtual machines. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.6-1ubuntu8.1 (natty), package size 294 kB, installed size 2628 kB [15:31] comum.MessageDoCliente@1d13272 [15:32] jemmeli: sounds like the wifi light on your switch doesn't work. I would ignore it from now on. [15:32] evon: I agree with jpds, if you want a minimal system, then generally you don't want a gui. [15:32] I can hard ublock hp-wifi using the switch but not phy0 [15:32] jemmeli: how di phy0 become hard blocked? [15:32] yes it is always blue wheither it is blocked or not. === mike_ is now known as pensfan [15:33] HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [15:33] GOING TO WATCH THE WEEZER OPEN FOR THE HIP! [15:33] evon: With KVM (jpds correct me if I'm wrong on this), you can install a virtual instance under KVM and if that runs a GUI, you could connect and manage it from another computer. [15:33] !ot | pensfan [15:33] pensfan: #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! [15:33] I tried sudo rfkill block 0 to check which one activated wifi, hp-wifi or phy0 [15:33] evon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/VirtManager [15:33] pici, jpds: ok i need a minimal gui system ;-). I just don't know enough about commandline to be comfortable [15:33] shit wrong channel [15:33] why the hell did that happen [15:33] Why are you asking us? [15:33] but sudo rfkill unblock 0 only soft unblocked it [15:33] pensfan: mind the language please too. [15:34] i think i have a package that is unable to update here, how can i tell which one it is [15:34] evon: Sorry if I pop in... First... To have the 'minimal' install, I would first stop all 'unneeded' dervices, As the update manager, zeitgeist and so on. What you want is as much RAM and CPU for your virtual machines. Then I would switch to a pure window manager like fluxbox or e17. That will free some capacities on the machine too. [15:34] jemmeli: I know that. I don't think rfkill can hard block or hard unblock. That's why I asked. How did you hardblock? [15:34] evon: You don't need a GUI, you can connect to the KVM system with a desktop application on another machine, see the link I just sent you. [15:34] Pici: Yo. o/ [15:34] when i do an update it says that it failed to retrieve certain files [15:34] .... [15:34] andantino: sudo apt-get safe-upgrade this does an upgrade at the command line [15:34] I think that is all I did. [15:34] is there a way to make lzma compress a directory from commandline? I keep getting lzma: InFoLib/: cowardly refusing to work on directory [15:35] I will try to reboot edbian [15:35] jemmeli: ok. [15:35] evon: KVM isn't as easy as virtualbox to setup, but I think its much more usable in the long run. [15:35] for backtrack 5 how come when i boot it on a live cd there is no wireless interface that i can use === arif is now known as mita [15:35] jemmeli: I'm not sure how you hardware blocked a virtual device [15:35] subtentar: We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux [15:36] thanks Pici [15:36] ive tried updating from command line edbian [15:36] same thing [15:36] andantino: Can I see the output? [15:36] do you just want the errors [15:37] andantino: all the output from that command. [15:37] if it would save you some time [15:37] hi, how to reload unity without logout? [15:38] it failed to retrieve something from two urls [15:38] andantino: try switching your servers. [15:38] and i checked the links, the pages no longer exist [15:38] andantino: what links? [15:38] andantino: I doubt they're webpages if they do or do not exist [15:38] http://ppa.launchpad.net/aheck/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources [15:38] is there a way i can make sure "devilspie" starts BEFORE Eterm on bootup? [15:39] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/aheck/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [15:39] Is it possible to get the standard gnome foot iconography to show up instead of the ubuntu branded stuff? [15:39] pici, jpds: I only understand the very basics of commandline. It took me forever just to setup up my clearos server. I need something I can setup with the knowledge I have right now. I feel i can get something working with vbox installed on a minimal gui system. I don't even know how to use vbox via commandline [15:39] why is my flash player inside firefox sometimes really slow and laggy on a really good computer? [15:40] subtentar, flash on linux is crud :( [15:40] subtentar: because flash sucks on *nix [15:40] yeah thats what i thought [15:40] andantino: Looks like the PPA is down. What software do you have installed from there? What is aheck ? [15:40] hi, i know repos stored in sources.list file. but what if I add a ppa? which file stores the ppa information? and btw how to check all repos that I am using? thanks. [15:40] man im so pissed i accidentally uninstall windows 7 [15:40] no clue [15:40] subtentar lol [15:40] sigh. some days i think i'm a professional email answerer. [15:40] subtentar chose the wrong partition to install to? [15:40] hmmm [15:40] sgo11: That same file, or create a new one under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [15:41] back to ubuntu... what user account needs rw priv's on an NFS share? [15:41] yeah i tried to dual boot windows 7 and xp and windows xp partitioned my C drive [15:41] sgo11: Or use the 'add-apt-repository' script. [15:41] is there a way i can make sure "devilspie" starts BEFORE Eterm on bootup? [15:41] /w/in 2 [15:41] and i have no backup which is gay [15:41] fail [15:41] sgo11: software centre-edit-software sources [15:41] ehw: was ist los? [15:41] jpds, thanks. I saw the one I added in sources.list.d [15:41] evon: Then if you need lightweight, I suggest using something like lubuntu, which is in the repositories as the lubuntu-desktop package. [15:41] is there a command that shows all repos I am currently using? [15:43] sgo11: I don't know of one command, but /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list are what you are using. [15:43] subtentar: IN some fllash media applications on a homepage you can 'pop up' the stream into a seperate window. That often does the trick with sluggish video on linux. It all depends on how tha media spp is programmed... [15:43] subtentar, yeah. that sounds pretty homosexual. [15:43] Pici, got it. thanks. [15:43] pici, i will check it out thanks [15:44] how do i set a priority for my startup applications? [15:45] i just install some indicators. how to show them without logout? or how to reload unity without logout? I have many files/folders/apps open, I don't want to restart them. thanks. [15:45] morth, priority as in? [15:45] im having an issue where my Eterm boots before my devilspie. [15:45] hi everyone, how do i make x11vnc never shutoff its connection? [15:45] jpds: ich no tipp gut [15:46] morth: Easy thing is to write a bash script, that you can always modify with a text editor... Then you add that script to the 'startup applications' [15:46] eekTheCat: mind your attitude here. [15:46] minimec, but morth is probably already having the startup script for those apps [15:47] minimec, they both start at startup already....so they must be called in that order during boot [15:47] Isn't the order of the startup scripts given by their number in the rc runlevel directories? [15:47] jemmeli: You're back? [15:47] exactly...which is why he/she needs to modify that order === hno_ is now known as Guest92588 [15:47] brainwave92 where would i go about to modify the order? [15:48] I got it edbian http://pastebin.com/kdFfyZDL I typed some notes [15:48] I guess there is no way to refresh unity. I will simply logout and login then. [15:48] brainwave92: morth: Well then I would add some 'sleep command' between the startup commands. [15:48] jemmeli: good [15:48] hi [15:48] it was about the order of unblocking phy0 and hp-wifi [15:48] jemmeli: I think the wifi switch controls both phy0 and hp-wifi [15:48] jemmeli: Ohhh, the order matters! [15:48] ok [15:48] may be, I am not sure [15:49] minimec: i had added a sleep 5, 10 to the command line but still having this issue, sec ill post the link on what i'm doing. [15:49] i installed e17 from packages.enlightenment.com/ karmaic and it automatically removed my network manager. now i do not have internet. how do i install the network manager? please help? [15:49] minimec: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36811 [15:49] jemmeli: glad we got it! :D [15:49] I am sure about the order because the first time I tried I first unblocked hp-wifi. but the way around didn't work [15:49] thank you edbian : ) I learned a new thing today [15:50] morth: i dont know anything about the programs you are talking about, i'll just google them and brb [15:50] minimec: i have everything working fine, only problem is that i have Eterm 0.9.5 on my bottom panel which i find highly annoying and i want to remove it, seeing the other screenshots in the thread they don't have the same issue. [15:50] brainwave92: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36811 [15:50] jemmeli: sure :) Glad I could help [15:51] Abhijit: karmic is not supported , you can install network-manager and gnome-ketwork-manager fro the live cd [15:51] btw, my nick is Neo31, I am just using this one to help a friend migrate to ubuntu [15:51] xangua, you have not read / understood the questin properly [15:51] morth, go to /etc/rc2.d/ and rename those links.

[15:53] * xangua searching for an ubuntu cd [15:53] I know that there are 2 commands [15:53] i didnt know when that got copied! sorry.....http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages//lucid/man7/boot.7.html [15:53] Furai`: adduser [15:53] But which is easier to use? [15:54] Furai`: adduser is the easier (and better for most people) than useradd. [15:54] k [15:54] I'll read man. Thanks. [15:54] hi. where the check i can enable to usage wifi hardware switch?!?!?! (which is F2 keyboard) [15:56] Ubutoer are you on a dell machine? [15:56] how to install Locale? [15:56] new locale, I don't see any 'ru_RU' in locale -a [15:56] and in sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [15:56] Hi, i need some info === Jonas_ is now known as Guest23179 [15:57] Jonas_, go ahead and ask! [15:57] What? [15:57] hi guys. is it possible to ssh into a server behind a corporate network from outside, not having access to any of the servers available from outside? I have a server running in the office, but would like to be able to access it remotely from outside the office [15:58] progre55: you'd need to punch holes in the firewall for ssh [15:58] brainwave92: i may be semi-retarded, where am i looking on this link [15:58] brainwave92: yes, dell studio 1555 [15:58] !locale | woozly|job [15:58] woozly|job: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [15:58] progre55: one way: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/238/ssh-reverse-tunneling/ [15:59] llutz: thanks, let me have a look at it [15:59] brainwave92: i have installed broadcom restricted drivers but i can't get wifi to work because of "wifi is disabled by hardware switch" message [15:59] hi llutz [15:59] Dbl_Tap: I can ssh from it to a server at home.. and reverse-tunneling would work in my case, I hope.. [16:00] ubutoer, just press Fn+F2 [16:00] brainwave92: doesn't works, tried that [16:00] ubutoer then try just f2 [16:00] ubutoer: in terminal rfkill list all [16:00] progre55: sorry nothing that I've done. Best of luck though. [16:00] exit [16:00] is it more difficult for people to write virus for linux than for windows? [16:00] Dbl_Tap: thanks [16:01] Diverdude: short answer: yes. [16:01] algorithmic.sty -- which package provides that? [16:01] Diverdude: no more difficult; not as profitable [16:01] ubutoer: then a sudo rfkill unblock 0 should unblock device phy0 [16:01] edbian, why? [16:01] pythonirc1011: texlive-science [16:01] Pici: Thanks [16:01] ubutoer:and paste the output in http://www.pastebin.com [16:02] pythonirc1011: http://packages.ubuntu.com would help for this in the future. [16:02] oCean: http://pastebin.com/5426PAkj [16:02] brainwave92: http://pastebin.com/5426PAkj === masahiro is now known as masa_nux [16:02] ubutoer: then a sudo rfkill unblock 0 should unblock device phy0 [16:02] Diverdude: well file permissions for one. (I think window has that figured out though in win7). But on linux you're not root and you don't run random stuff as root so if you ran a virus it could only do stuff that you could do. It could only delete your own files. No other users and no system files. Also we install stuff primarily from the repos. Many people only from repos. It's really really hard to get a virus in the repos. === administrator is now known as Guest12379 [16:03] "rfkill unblock 0" or 1 or 2 didn't work [16:03] ubutoer: sudo sudo rfkill list to see if your interfaces are even blocked [16:03] edbian: yes they were http://pastebin.com/5426PAkj [16:03] edbian, ahhh yes you are right [16:04] Diverdude: sure :) There is some other stuff too. About it not being profitable. [16:04] okay now F2 works [16:04] ubutoer: aha [16:04] where add this to make it permanent?? [16:04] Diverdude: But I don't really count that. Cause many many servers run linux and servers hold all the good stuff [16:04] edbian, the repo is a good argument [16:04] oCean: it says [16:04] no [16:04] for blocked [16:04] ubutoer: I think adding it to /etc/rc.local would be sufficient [16:04] ubutoer: It's hardware blocked. rfkill only controls software block. Use the switch to turn off hw block [16:04] ubutoer: and before it said 'yes' [16:05] Diverdude: yes. [16:05] ubutoer, the value is preserved between boots [16:05] so if you switched it onn now, unless you switch it off, its gonna stay on [16:05] Diverdude: and many many things on linux are open source. so a virus would quickly be noticed. Either suspeciously binary or clearly (source code) malicious [16:05] edbian, basically also the reason why android has more malware than iphone [16:05] brainwave92: In my experience that might not be so when dual-booting [16:06] Diverdude: android has more malware that iphone because android market is easier to get into I think. [16:06] edbian, exactly, the repo argument [16:06] Diverdude: yeah :) [16:06] Diverdude: but I think apple is too strict. [16:06] edbian, very difficult to get into the iphone repo...more easy the android [16:07] edbian, but that means that malware can get into opensource repos...which means it could also get into linux [16:07] oCean, i have dual booting as well,and its on unless i turn it off [16:07] brainwave92: I no longer dualboot, but I found out (for a collegue) that windows (at shutdown) blocked the device [16:08] Diverdude: It could get into linux. But it's open source so it is quickly noticed. I'm not sure what the review process is for android. But Debian / Ubuntu. Malicious software simply doesn't get in. I've never seen or heard of it anyway. [16:08] edbian, if it can get into android it can get into debian no? [16:09] Diverdude: Those are different repos. [16:09] Diverdude: The android SDK itself is not in Debian repos [16:09] edbian, yes i know....but the idea is the same [16:09] Diverdude: Well I think it's harder to get into Debian/Ubuntu repos than it is to get into android repos. [16:09] edbian, the only reason android has malware is because there is a large amount of people to affect [16:09] Diverdude: And I don't think all of android id open source? I could be wrong [16:09] edbian: Diverdude is this discussion still about ubuntu? [16:09] edbian, why do you think so? [16:10] oCean, yes it is [16:10] Diverdude: Let's chat in offtopic? [16:10] thank you [16:10] oCean, may be, but i havent experienced that till date [16:10] Diverdude: It's really not worth arguing with him. [16:12] blahh, ladie switched the circuit breaker lol === TrevelyanInc is now known as TrevInc [16:12] morth:u solved it? === magentar__ is now known as magentar [16:13] brainwave92: no, ladie switched the wrong circuit on the breaker, turned my computer off :-( [16:13] darn lady [16:13] yup darn her [16:13] * morth puts female in kitchen.

[16:16] oops [16:17] guys, how can I add a script to the auto start list but with sudo? === Guest42936 is now known as grekkos [16:17] Installer (yes linux too) saw it on reddit. You might want to take a look. http://www.reddit.com/tb/idzyx [16:17] but sudo /home/cyper/Autominer/startmining.sh does not as it apparently asks for password [16:17] brainwave92 i can't a after i think 10 min when i'm working my screen change to black [16:18] brainwave92: that link you gave me, i think im semi-retarded or real tired, where should i be looking [16:18] xangua [16:18] brainwave92, it's lik screensave when you install blackscreen. [16:18] morth:i didnt read it fully, i just saw it has all on startup scripts and gave it to you [16:19] I keep getting a segmentation fault on startup. Both with 3.5.1 and 4.0.2. [16:19] i am continuely getting notice that #ubuntu :You're not channel operator but i have not done anything!!! [16:19] glenn_which ubuntu are you running? [16:20] still getting the same. [16:21] * Abhijit have not done anything! === tux is now known as Guest94545 [16:22] glenn_, what are your power options? i have a belief it goes to sleep or lock screen or suspend after 10 minutes [16:22] brainwave92, where can i see that [16:22] glenn_, go into power options disable turn off monitor after x minutes [16:22] oCean, huh? [16:23] glenn_, go to system, preferences, power options [16:23] power management sorry [16:23] how to stop plugin in xchat? [16:23] window, lugins, unload [16:23] plugins* [16:24] glenn_, saw? [16:24] yeah [16:25] eekTheCat: you cannot use 'homosexual' in a pejorative manner here [16:25] oCean, oh, heh. I was drawing attention to someone using the word gay in that manner === Guest94545 is now known as tux1975 [16:26] eekTheCat: if you want our attention, you can join #ubuntu-ops [16:26] brainwave92, thanx i see there that on power the screen goes black after 15 min. why ? [16:27] brainwave92: i should be reading the Bootscripts right? === keithx is now known as alejandro [16:27] hi [16:27] glenn_, its to save power [16:27] alejandro: oh hello [16:27] glenn_, yes, so that your computer doesnt simply waste power by keeping on.......greenux [16:27] :) [16:27] I'm running off of Sandy Bridge Graphics on my lenovo laptop, and when I plug in a second monitor, I get a black bar across a third of my laptop screen. It did this with the default 11.04 setup, and with the newer 2.6.39-994 kernel and the xorg-edgers installed. [16:28] sudokill, whut why can't i reactivate it === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a [16:28] glenn_, just change all of them to 'never' [16:28] oCean, I mean I was drawing his attention. Trying to hilight to him the ugliness of what he was saying... Whatever I just won't use the word here again. [16:29] brainwave92, why can't i reactived it when it is black [16:29] glenn_, i dont know why, but linux seems to have an issue resuming on many machines, of all sorts like, blank screen, missing icons, non response of the window close buttons [16:29] eekTheCat: Ok, thanks. [16:29] in mine, it has happened twice that close maximized the window beyond my monitor! [16:29] brainwave92: It is a very difficult thing to do because there is no standard that hw manufactures follow === jkeiper is now known as chopin [16:30] edbian: hi [16:30] edbian, exactly....and most hardwares have good drivers for windows [16:30] brainwave92: IDK if device drivers have much to do with it. [16:30] edbian, then what else? [16:30] brainwave92, thnx is there a posibility that to let the pc's in hybernate after 30 min not used [16:30] Hi, I have installed lamp server, i can now acess 127.0.0.1 but what if I want other computers to access it? What should I do then? [16:31] glenn_, obviously there would be [16:31] brainwave92: I don't know the details. I'm not disagreeing. I'm saying 'I don't know' [16:31] glenn_, in the same power managemnt! just care to look na [16:31] edbian, still, in your opinion something would be the reason na? at least one [16:31] engammalsko: change "Listen ..." in your apache-config [16:31] brainwave92: what? === LUxe is now known as Luxe [16:32] llutz: gedit /etc/apache.cnf or what? :) [16:32] edbian, what according to you, might be the cause of the problem of linux not resuming because of non standard hardware [16:32] when windows can [16:32] brainwave92: I think it has to do with the motherboard. Not the other devices. [16:33] oh k [16:33] engammalsko: /etc/apache2/-somewhat- [16:33] brainwave92: Beyond that I really don't know. Seems to me that it would be as simple as dump the state of ram / CPU registers / CPU cache on the hdd. shut down. When you turn back on grab it and put it back. Clearly it is not that simple [16:34] llutz: I found it : ) [16:34] i've got a stupid problem between 10.04 and 11.04 where it seems to be losing connection -- ssh - i'm unable to log in after a while -- then maybe not for a while - anyone know what it may be? -- also losing nfs shares -- upon mount "no route to host" -- anyone got any ideas? I have an idea it may be on the 11.04 side [16:34] the problem --- because I've not had a problem ocnnecting from 11.04 to 11.04 its just from 10.04 to 11.04 [16:34] llutz: I took ctrl+f and typed listen but didn't find anything : ( [16:34] wireless network [16:35] engammalsko: grep -r Listen /etc/apache2/* [16:35] Aha === JasonOO is now known as JasonO === JasonO is now known as Guest30760 [16:36] engammalsko: by default port 80 is enabled (in /etc/apache2/ports.conf) [16:36] I've got only CLI access to my ubuntu server and I'd like to change language for one specific user to English - can someone guide me how to do it? [16:36] How well does the NVIDIA Quadro 1000M run Ubuntu and Gentoo? [16:36] oCean: Yeah, I use port 80, should I change that? [16:36] llutz: sudo grep -r Listen /etc/apache2/apache2.conf didn't do anything... [16:37] apache is not listening on an specific ip adress. it's listening on defined ports [16:37] engammalsko: not necessarily, it should already be accessible from remote machines [16:37] #drbd [16:37] hi [16:37] engammalsko: because there is no Listen-statement in that file. the reaso i gave you a wildcard... [16:37] but you can tell apache to use given ip adresses. if you create virtualhosts you can say apache should listen on ip:port [16:37] Will the NVIDIA Quadro 1000M run Ubuntu? [16:38] engammalsko: sudo netstat -tulpen |grep :80 to check if it really only listens on 127.0.0.1 [16:38] what exactly means if i activate in for example software center "canonical partners" resource? [16:38] how can i set my pc in hybernate after x min not used [16:38] engammalsko: take a look at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [16:39] maybe in power settings glenn_ [16:39] llutz: Tes 0.0.0.0.0:80 can I change the 0.0 etc to my ip? [16:39] Yes* [16:39] engammalsko: no, that is the correct configuration [16:39] engammalsko: why do you want to change it? 0.0.0.0 is the internet :D [16:39] engammalsko: 0.0.0.0.0 == listens on all adresses available. so you should be able to access via LAN [16:39] oCean: Okay, so what should I do then? Xd [16:40] engammalsko: to accomplish what exactly? [16:40] rhin0, no [16:40] oCean: I want everyone to access my server. [16:40] engammalsko: and how do you know that that does not work? [16:40] I've got only CLI access to my ubuntu server and I'd like to change language for one specific user to English - can someone guide me how to do it? Anyone? [16:41] oCean: how do I test? [16:41] hello boys and girls, I'm a noob. I need to redirect traffic based on url (2 different boxes). Is it possible to do this with iptables o I should use mod_proxy? [16:41] I log to it through ssh. [16:41] engammalsko: on a remote machine, start a browser, and browse to your server [16:41] oCean: and my server is? my ip? [16:42] engammalsko: if you don't use dns, then you have to browse using the ip address of your server [16:42] for hibernate you have to install the package hibernate [16:43] oCean: and the ip of my server is the same as my public ip? [16:43] engammalsko: if your server stand at home. you have to do port forwarding [16:43] edbian, I got it. I written a script to auto unblock on startup. But I find out that there is no need to unblock using rfkill. I reproduced this more than five times. I had to press enter on the grub menu to boot the system, wait a sec or half, press the wifi button for a sec or half. When the system is on rfkill list shows that non is blocked (hard and soft for both hp-wifi and phy0) this article helped me : http://glonek.co.uk/linux-mint/wireless-disabl [16:43] ed-stuck-in-phy0-hard-blocked/ [16:43] if you got a firewall in your modem. but today. every router/modem got this [16:43] deem: Ah, port foward 80 to 80 both?

Is it possible to do this with iptables o I should use mod_proxy?

[17:09] wait.....give the output of iwconfig [17:09] brainwave92, it won't [17:09] yes I'm sure [17:09] because it doesn't even have a keyboard present [17:09] I can't press a key [17:09] ok.....and u still want it to boot? [17:09] and this happens only on power fail [17:09] without the keyboard?

[17:19] godtrunks: it seems that device has no Free driver compiled into the mainline Linux kernel. this means that to get the device to work you will need to download driver source code and compile it yourself. and do that again every time you upgrade your kernel. probably easier to just try and find a supported device and buy it. [17:20] ikonia: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/kubuntu/11.04/release/ [17:20] i had the driver.i'm new in this.how i install it? [17:20] elkng: not an official ubuntu build - something someone else has put together, so can't really comment [17:20] godtrunks: if you're new to Linux, compiling your own drivers against $CURRENT kernel sources is probably not something you want to get involved with.

[17:22] my phone has debian linux on it [17:22] Pici: thank you very much, elkng my apologies [17:22] godtrunks: compiling drivers is not where you start learning. and "do it for me" is not going to teach you anything. [17:23] i'm a good learner [17:23] godtrunks: lots of info on the web and in the driver "README" file [17:23] but i do't understand all that is on readmefiles [17:24] how do I enable Unity 3D? [17:24] godtrunks: then you're not really in a position to build the drivers [17:24] I have already a version of Ubuntu installed on my macbook. I want to try a different version from usb. I have a valid usb with ubuntu that boots fine on another computer with windows. On my mac if boot with the usb, Refit will see the usb. If I then select that instead of booting from usb it just shows the normal grub menu. [17:24] godtrunks: purchase a supported card to get you working in Linux [17:24] aaa12293093, whats the problem?

Can someone help me please? [17:25] kathie: connect via cable and make sure the WEP/WPA password is what you think it is, and ensure MAC filtering isn't blocking you. === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a [17:25] so, there are not *.deb file that ca do the job? [17:26] mneptok, That is what I did. I am connected to ethernet now [17:26] kathie: is MAC filtering off? [17:26] aaa12293093, Refit is the mac bootloader? i have never used mac [17:26] mneptok, I'm not sure how to check that. Can you help me with that? [17:27] brainwave92: yes it is. But after that, grub fires up [17:27] yes [17:27] kathie: your router OEM can :) [17:27] brainwave92: how do I tell grub to start from USB? [17:27] where can I find all packages to download them ? [17:27] i assume u instlled the linux to the usb? [17:27] and during the installation, you would have installed the bootloader to the usb [17:27] How can Iinstall packages from a repo, but not packages pushed after a certain date? [17:27] the grub i mean [17:27] isnt it? [17:28] mneptok, Put it this way, I didn't change anything in my router, and all other wireless equipment in my house connects. It's my laptop [17:28] I dont want to use package manager, just want to download all packages on harddrave for later use, where can I find them ? [17:29] s/harddrave/harddrive [17:29] kathie: i would pass this question to the OEM of the router. [17:29] mneptok, It's not the router [17:30] mneptok, I had a friend bring their laptop over and we connected to it [17:30] elkng: you want to download over 25000 packages? [17:30] I belive it is closer to 28000 or so [17:30] believe* [17:30] aaa12293093, no reply? [17:31] IdleOne: yes [17:31] elkng: Are you looking to create a repository mirror? Or are you just doing this for some other esoteric purpose? [17:31] kathie, if you are able to connect when the network is unprotected it could be a problem with your wpasupplicant (or at least an incompatiblity with that of the routers) that would be odd though [17:32] escott, It seems to be with my laptop only. Android phone connects, friends laptop etc [17:32] kathie: It could also be that MAC authentication has been turned on with the router- if your MAC for the wireless isn't in it's approved list, you won't get on the AP, even if you've got the password right.

[17:33] kathie, there are a host of possibilities why you can't connect. the thing to do is ease restrictions on the router and then put them back one at a time until you find the one that makes you unable to connect [17:33] Svartalf, It's odd that this is all happening now === jmknsd is now known as jakemp [17:34] escott, Svartalf mneptok The MAC filter on my router is disabled [17:35] kathie, then disable wpa and see if that is the problem [17:35] aaa12293093: update-grub with pluged in usb-drive [17:35] kathie: you you restarted the router and cleared the prior saved connection info from Ubuntu?

[18:19] tfitts, use ifconfig [18:19] or if wireless....iwconfig will work [18:19] Pici, sarcasm? ok i'll give you my example with avr [18:19] i needed the avr gcc === furqan is now known as Guest89034 [18:20] avr bin utils was the actual thing [18:20] !find libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 [18:20] !find libwx_baseu-2.8.so [18:20] File libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 found in libwxbase2.8-0 [18:20] File libwx_baseu-2.8.so found in libwxbase2.8-0, libwxbase2.8-dev [18:20] i typed avr gcc....no results...but there were results with just avr....avr-bin-utils came! and i knew i was mistaken about the name [18:20] that way [18:21] brainwave92: What I'm saying is that using something like 'apt-cache search avr' will give you the same information. [18:21] ./pcsx2: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [18:21] i ge this error [18:21] how to fix it [18:21] shockrates: What architecture are you running? [18:21] Maybe, but gui is easier. i can search all things.....and not type the command everytime [18:22] Pici, do you need a certain plugin for audacious to find an ipod? [18:22] Pici: amd64 [18:22] tfitts, you may be able to play with gateways and hosts to direct through one or the other, usually it will pick whatever is the faster immediate connection for the bulk of the traffic. if you are more specific about what exactly you want to do that would help [18:22] doing an XDMCP connection from Xming on Windoze to an Ubuntu 10.04 box gives me connection refused message.

[18:23] !ufw | willichan if you have a firewall disable it, or open the required port [18:23] willichan if you have a firewall disable it, or open the required port: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.

I hopse so [18:24] *hope [18:24] But if it is then [18:25] i don't care about syncing and manaing an ipod. just want to "play" it like a dock [18:25] !ipod | bytesaber_work check out these links [18:25] bytesaber_work check out these links: 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 [18:25] you mean you want to mount it - to access the files bytesaber_work ?

Let me get you an example link. [18:28] bytesaber_work: never seen such software that does that.

I'm not sure thats what you're looking for though. [18:29] dgandhi360: you can also grab the source packages yourself by using apt-get sorce [18:29] dgandhi360: apt-get source rather. [18:29] How do i give ubuntu read-write access of my windows operating system drive? [18:29] bytesaber_work: sounds liek the kind of thing a company would need a License from apple to do also... [18:29] hello [18:30] TheDreamLord: mount them with the proper option from fstab, or use the ntfs-config tool to tweak the auto mount settings. or access them as root.

[18:43] ikonia, but i want it to be managed by xinetd, the strange thing is, that it once worked on another machine :/ [18:43] jabba_: you're mistaken, xinetd launched on request, once you close that request xinet won't / can't keep it alive like that [18:43] raw_spin_lock error also [18:44] do_page_fault also [18:44] ikonia, strange -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 [18:44] Pat_Fail: it's a memory problem [18:44] Pat_Fail, bad memory would be the first guess for all these [18:45] I installed a new graphics card and the memory goes bad? [18:45] ikonia, trust me... it worked [18:45] I need to build the 3.0 kernel for 11.04, are there any good resources for this? [18:45] jakemp: no [18:45] foo. [18:45] jakemp, there is a vanilla kernel team, you could just get their debs [18:46] jabba_: if you look at the options it's passing, it's not xinetd that's keeping it alive [18:46] how do I run a memtest if I cannot boot linux? [18:46] Pat_Fail: you boot from the ubuntu CD which has memtest on it [18:46] It wont boot from the ubuntu cd [18:46] I told you that [18:46] jakemp, is there any reason you need 3? i think you'd be better off sticking with proper ubuntu ones rather than compiling your own [18:46] ikonia, but what? [18:46] jabba_: but what ? [18:47] Pat_Fail: then you have a hardware problem [18:47] sudokill, I was talking with the folks in #intel-gfx, and they were saying that I needed 3.0 to get a stable setup on sandy bridge. [18:47] but what is/should be keeping it alive [18:47] jakemp, does it not work well with 2.6.38? [18:47] I tried changing the hard drive [18:47] jabba_: it's running in daemon mode, it's it'sself keeping it alive, xinetd is only being used to launch on request [18:47] And it didn't fix it [18:47] sudokill, no. [18:47] Pat_Fail: it's a MEMORY problem [18:47] The ram is fucked up? [18:47] Pat_Fail: control the language [18:47] screwed* [18:48] Pat_Fail, you shouldn't need to boot it just get to the grub menu of the cd boot [18:48] ikonia, you mean Xvnc's "-inetd" parameter? ... [18:48] Pat_Fail: there is certainly something wrong with the memory, that doesn't mean it's the actual ram though, but most likley [18:48] sudokill, I upgraded to 2.6.39 and the xorg edgers was briefly synced with it, but it was still unstable. [18:48] jabba_: that's part of it yes, === jigsaw is now known as jiggy [18:48] hi there, i am using unity 11.04. When i press Windows Button and want to search for programs this doesnt work. anyone has this problem too? [18:48] jabba_: when you disconnect the process shouldn't die [18:48] It shows the purplish screen with the keyboard in the bottom center and it gets an error immediately [18:48] ikonia, it does in fact :( [18:49] jabba_: well, that's nothing to do with xinetd, thats your vnc config [18:49] ikonia, got this until now :) [18:49] well [18:50] jakemp, you could compile your own, and try it, the original ubuntu kernel will still be there so if it fails you can revert [18:50] I'm not sure about oldconfig on different kernels though [18:50] @ikonia should I boot with memtest86(not linux version) and see if theres a problem? [18:51] ikonia, other strange thing is ... if i launch Xvnc by hand (from command-promt of the user xinetd also uses, without -inetd parameter of course) it doesn't die on disconnect [18:51] Or you'd have to go through all the settings manually [18:51] Is there a way to make my laptop wake up from suspend when I open the lid? [18:51] sudokill, yeah, I've never done a kernel before. I wish they continued packaging mainline kernels, but they moved all of the 3.0 up to oneric [18:51] Pat_Fail, if you have a memtest cd i would run the test (also make sure you didn't knock the sticks lose when you installed the video card) [18:51] should I take out each stick of ram and reinstall it? [18:52] Yeah, I am not looking forward to tweaking the config [18:52] jakemp, doing a kernel isn't hard, but if you are doing it with no config from a vanilla kernel, you'd have to literally go through all the settings and spend time on it [18:52] crap. [18:52] where can I get an old config? /boot? [18:52] e.g. i dont even think ext4 is enabled by default [18:53] jakemp, im not sure if oldconfig will work [18:53] =/ [18:53] jakemp, but cd into the linux3 dir and do zcat /proc/config.gz > .config [18:53] that will put your existing config in the dir [18:54] there is no /proc/config.gz [18:54] ah ubuntu kernel probably doesnt use that option [18:54] or copy the .config from /usr/src/linux to the new dir [18:55] i really dont have much exp with going from ubuntu kernel to vanilla though, i dont really know the differences [18:55] hi does any body help me my vmplayer is broken after upgrading kernal version [18:55] ?

[19:16] jemadux: theres numerous tweaks and things for unity - ive seen several mentioned at the omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites. proberly otehr sites as well [19:16] Abhijit: ,history file i think [19:16] Abhijit: ~/.bash_history [19:16] Abhijit: .bash_history [19:16] dr_willis: thanks [19:16] its only written to it - when bash exits. [19:16] Maestr055, if you can, try pressing ctrl shift and left arrow [19:16] (I'm guessing in the bash_history ;) ) [19:16] Maestr055, no bash history is commands you typed [19:17] yeah, I was making a joke, uninstalling now [19:17] brainwave92: http://www.argox.com/content.php?sno=0000067&P_ID=19 this is product that we think buy [19:17] ]O.o [19:17] i need hlp [19:17] dr_willis, oCean io thanks! [19:17] rajat123, ask! [19:17] rebooting, brb [19:18] Could whoever is responsible please fix the Bind9 packages? The libs have been updated in the repos but the main packages hasnt (oneiric)... bind9 and bind9-utils package require the libs in version 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1ubuntu2 while the repos contain 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 [19:19] Ether_Man: file a bug report perhaps? we have no controll of that stuff here. [19:19] hm....i hv ubuntu installd alongside windows 7....bt i hd some prb so i hd 2 uninstall ubuntu. now i hv a 10.04 version iso file. how cn i use wubi 2 install using dis iso file?? [19:19] ! oneiric | Ether_Man [19:19] Ether_Man: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [19:20] rajat123: put the file in the same place as the wubi.exe I think and it will see it.. or have wubi download the iso. and stop the download. then copy the full iso over the partial.. personally I suggest NOT using wubi at all. [19:20] my boot is failing to busybox. there were errors in the text while booting but they were too fast to see. what can i do to see that text? [19:20] dmesg doesn't seem to show the same stuff [19:20] jimmy51_, you can use the alternative login screen [19:20] jimmy51_: try /var/log/messages [19:20] dr_willis : den wt shuld i use in place f wubi? [19:21] rajat123: please type complete words. === ozigs is now known as ozior [19:21] dr_willis, one would imagine that someone responsible for a repo for a dist, be in the supportchannel for it or atleast someone that knows who that could forward. As for filing a bugreport seems to be useless as the last who tried doing that was basicly intructed to uninstall the bind9 package that was installed and closed the bug. [19:21] rajat123: i suggest doing a normal install. or using ubuntu in virtualbox.. ive just seen SO many people in here with wubi disasters. [19:21] mneptok: Sorry! [19:21] dr_willis, disasters like? [19:22] Ether_Man: you are usign 11.10 ? [19:22] dr_willis: dt means i wil have to remove windows rite? [19:22] rajat123, not at all! [19:22] mneptok: hmm.. nothing under var other than a "lock" folder [19:22] both look empty [19:22] rajat123: not at all.. You can repartition and have linux alongside windows.. thats how most people do it. [19:22] (this is in busybox shell) [19:22] dr_willis, yes. [19:23] Ether_Man: then you need to go to #ubuntu+1 [19:23] brainwave92: http://www.argox.com/content.php?sno=0000067&P_ID=19 this is product that we think buy [19:23] Hi. I just started using unity for the first time. I used the "Keyboard shortcuts" app. Some of the shortcuts I set don't work. I want Alt+Space to be "Run Application" (default is Alt+F2). I changed "Open Window Menu" from Alt+Space to Alt+Shift+Space. Window menu works, but Alt+Space does nothing. [19:23] !ask memtest86 reporting 300k+ errors with my memory [19:23] Pat_Fail: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:23] dr_willis, so soreau said yes and I am. Wasnt aware it had its own channel :) [19:24] hey, I just retrieved the computer from a friend of mine who was running Ubuntu and his disk appears to be ciphered. is it using LUKS ? [19:24] Pat_Fail: what do you want us to do about it ? you've been told you have a problem with your member [19:24] memory [19:24] Pat_Fail, have you overclocked your cpu or ram? [19:24] 11.10 is in alpha stage.. breakage is expected. [19:24] I overclocked it before but reset the bios back to default [19:24] In fact, I set Run Application to Alt+Space, but Alt+F2 is still how to open it. [19:24] I only overclocked it to the standard setting of the ram [19:24] Pat_Fail, ok, new ram is what you need [19:24] dr_willis: cn i partition using the live cd? actualy wen i run wubi....it strts downloadng some 'lucid' version. [19:24] after installed ubuntu 11.04 with raid 0 and reboot i got this black screen and blinking cursor.... any helpful recommendations??? [19:24] Is unity ignoring these gnome settings? Does it have its own repository of settings? [19:24] Pat_Fail: there is a problem with your ram , we've said this numerous times [19:25] why would installing a new graphics card fuck up my ram? [19:25] screw* [19:25] Pat_Fail, because youve been inside your pc.. could have been ststic or something [19:25] Pat_Fail, you may want to try asking in ##hardware [19:25] sudokill: well, not a complete success, I got as far as a splash screen in the first try but it hung later on. After reboot I didn't even get to the splash screen, same black screen. I did a recovery boot > failsafe x > restart x again and now I lost Unity, but I guess that's because I don't have the nvid driver anymore. [19:26] Pat_Fail, you may want to try asking in ##hardware [19:26] Pat_Fail: you may have un-seated your ram during installation, released static electricity that damaged the ram, or something else. [19:26] Maestr055, yea you wont have unity with default driver afaik. Sorry but i cant see errors in your dmesg :s I have no clue what to suggest [19:26] dr_willis: cn i partition using the live cd? actualy wen i run wubi....it strts downloadng some 'lucid' version. [19:27] Maestr055, if it's not too much of a problem you could backup files and do a clean install [19:27] ok, how do I make it so I can see what it's doing when booting instead of the splash? [19:27] Maestr055, press esc [19:27] I tried the liveCD version (from USB stick) but that had the same black screen problem [19:27] dr_willis: i cnt partition. cn u hlp me with wubi? [19:27] esc didn't work for me :/ [19:27] ok [19:27] it did while I still had 10.10 though, thx for the suggestion though [19:27] hello does anyone know how to restore the unity menu bar i instaled gnome 3 and it fucked it [19:28] brianherman: control your language please [19:28] sory [19:28] Maestr055: do you have raid??? [19:28] you'll get auto-kicked for that particular turn of phrase :) [19:28] nope, no raid [19:28] Abhijit: Can u hlp please? [19:28] rajat123: You have the lucid wubi installer then.. go get a newer wuibi installer.. or do a normal install.. whatever you perfer to do. [19:28] sorry for the language [19:28] i got a blank screen too.... :-((( [19:28] rajat123: i dont use wubi.. and you DONT need to partuiton when you use wubi [19:28] do I have to reinsatll ubuntu? [19:28] rajat123, see what dr_willis is saying. i do not know your issue. [19:29] Maestr055, sorry i have no other clues :( [19:29] s-cream: do you have an nvidia card? [19:29] np sudokill thanks for the help [19:29] is there a way to reinstall unity? [19:29] Maestr055: onboard nvidia, yes [19:29] there's no grub setting that might let me always see what it's doing? [19:29] s-cream: try uninstalling the nvidia drivers in your additional drivers [19:29] seemed to help me get a bit further [19:30] if it doesn't work, you can always re-install them :) [19:30] Maestr055, try ctrl alt left arrow it should give you messages [19:30] :( [19:30] ah, you said ctrl-shift-left before, iirc [19:30] oh did i sorry [19:30] Maestr055: it doesn't even show that there are some installed.... oh man i read 499 blog posts, i can't get further [19:30] no worries :) [19:30] dr_willis: is it nyhow possible dat the newer version of wubi wil install using my 10.04 iso image wich i already have? [19:31] rajat123: newer version of wubi.. will want the newer ISO files.... [19:31] s-cream: do the ctrl-alt-left trick and see where it hangs [19:31] maybe google on that and might find an answer [19:31] rajat123: I dont use wubi.. so it may be possible to force it.. the iso SHOULD have a wubi.exe on it.. [19:31] Maestr055: mom.... just reinstalling again [19:31] rajat123: burn the iso or open it somehow. and use that wubi if you really want to. [19:31] good luck with wubi.. you will need it. :) [19:32] !fortune [19:32] s-cream: I'm going to try the experimental driver, hadn't tried that one before [19:32] maybe I should fire up my other computer so I can keep typing here [19:32] no help for that now, bbiab [19:32] dr_willis: oh yeah! got it. thanks a lot dr_willis! really appreciated your help! [19:32] Maestr055, you shouldnt need to try experimental if you've tried 2 nvidias and the nouveau one [19:32] Maestr055: i got no display driver problem... it's my raid... i need a boot partition... seems i am too dumb [19:32] i really dont think thatll help [19:33] hadn't tried the nouveau one [19:33] i think thats the default one with no nvidia installed [19:33] the kernel driver [19:33] Noevau ior somthing like that. [19:33] I updated from 10.10, it already had the nvidia driver installed [19:33] I never can spell it right [19:33] nouveau? [19:33] nouveau :s [19:33] idk i dont do french === iqpi|nexuiz is now known as iqpi [19:33] glad I had some french classes in high school :) [19:33] The /home/ directory became corrupted; could I mv all of its files to a different directory and re-login? [19:33] sudokill: don't tell your gf [19:34] I am _not_ trolling, or starting a flame war, but did Ubuntu choose LibreOffice over OpenOffice because OpenOffice´s status was in question at the time Ubuntu made the decision> [19:34] rrn: if the FILESYSTEM became currupted. you should backup and fsck the filesystem. [19:34] Maestr055, would a reinstall be a real pain for you? [19:34] stercor: in my experience, starting a sentence that way tells us you are [19:34] sudokill: yes [19:34] it's on a shared hard drive [19:34] and I don't want to mess with deleting partitions to get rid of everything [19:35] stercor: ask that on askubuntu.com [19:35] dr_willis: It's not FS corruption, just the actual files were inadvertently tampered with. [19:35] also, do you know how long it took me to download my dropbox files!? [19:35] dr_willis: Ok. [19:35] rrn: so i dont see the point of you moving things.. [19:35] stercor: no, because like most other distros *buntu used Go-OO before, and LO is the logical continuation of Go-OO, only w/o the trademark [19:35] rrn: you want to temparly clean out the home dir? thats doable of course. [19:35] how do I restart my desktop session? [19:35] dr_willis: The desktop environment cannot be used. [19:36] rrn: theres numerous config files you can delete to 'reset' it back to defaults. or just move all the files I guess. [19:36] Maestr055, im not sure actually, try ctrl alt f7 then do startx [19:36] Maestr055: sudo service gdm start (or restart) is common [19:37] stercor: I'm just guessing here, maybe it was due to the fact that openoffice sucks hard [19:37] does anyone know which encryption is used by Ubuntu by default? [19:37] szal: Thanks. [19:37] oh man [19:37] dan-work: Thank you for your opinion. [19:37] sudokill: next time, tell me the combo to get back first! [19:37] qdii: encryption where? [19:37] hang on, kid crying [19:37] Renice it. [19:38] dr_willis: I had to login as a different user, rm my .bashrc and create a shortcut to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal because otherwise I could not launch any applications and if I could run the terminal, it would not be able to find [, ls, cat, etc. [19:38] it uses lvm partitions that seem to be encrypted [19:38] dan-work: if OOo does, then LO does too, so what's your point? [19:38] /dev/vg_hera/lv_home, for instance [19:38] but I can't seem to mount it right with LUKS [19:38] .wc [19:38] hello [19:38] hello [19:39] dr_willis: What probably happened was I inadvertently extracted the image of an embedded device onto /home. [19:39] crisis averted [19:39] how do you stop the notifications? [19:39] :) [19:39] szal: It´s a nice day, isn´t it? [19:39] now back the current crisis [19:39] ctrl-alt-F3 is the combo to get back, right? [19:39] I couldn't type anything in ctrl-alt-f7 [19:39] szal: Why's that? They are completely separate projects are they not? [19:40] Maestr055, i think f7 is the default x window [19:40] I'll try dr_willis suggestion [19:41] Hi, is there a way to install (through apt) a newer version of HAProxy (1.4.X) on Ubuntu 10.04.2? [19:41] I just want that single newer package, without upgrading the whole box. [19:41] acts_as, sudo apt-get install [19:41] the package [19:41] sudokill: That installs 1.3.X === adante_ is now known as adante [19:42] sudo apt-get update first? [19:42] hi all, I have a few files that are owned by root and they won [19:42] sudokill: I did. Still 1.3 [19:42] 't let me delete them - how do I pull that off? [19:42] I think acts_as wants a "testing" package [19:42] acts_as, is the newer version even in the repos? [19:42] 1.4 might not be available in the Ubuntu repository. [19:43] sudokill: Yeah, it's in 10.10 I believe. [19:43] beachbuddah: gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator [19:44] keithb1: How would I install a testing package? === iqpi is now known as {qp} [19:44] keithb1: Or where would I find the info on that? [19:44] hi all! can somebody advice me on good computer-assisted translator tool? i'm translating tons of text (content, not software) like articles and need some good software for that [19:44] Sorry for the limited knowledge there [19:44] acts_as, any reason you dont want to upgrade your whole system? does the newer package show up in update manager? [19:45] sindikat_, google translate? [19:45] sindikat_, or try a search for translate in the software centre [19:45] TREvInc - 'error removing file: permission denied [19:45] hm [19:46] what are you trying to remove? [19:46] sudokill, i mean like virtaal or omegat [19:46] they were recovered files via photorec [19:46] ok, remind me not to follow dr_w...'s suggestions anymore :) [19:46] it booted up this time though! ctrl-alt-left worked as well [19:46] did it say anything? [19:46] sudokill: Someone else manages the ubuntu images etc. These systems are deployed in AWS, and built from Chef. So a full system upgrade probably isn't "ideal" [19:47] sudokill: I really just wish there was some sort of testing / "you're on your own" apt repo. [19:47] the automatic crash detection (I think, it's been a long week) failed, other than that, seemed just fine [19:47] acts_as: You might be able to find a PPA that has the updated package, or build it from source. [19:47] (assuming you were asking me, sudokill) [19:47] acts_as: PPA's are for exactly that [19:47] What are the PPAs? [19:47] Maestr055, yes. well with no errors i really have no clue :( [19:47] acts_as: Or build your own PPA if you have the knowhow. [19:47] acts_as: but be aware that those are not supported 3rd repositories [19:47] !ppa | acts_as [19:47] acts_as: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. [19:47] no worries, sudokill, I have a working work-around [19:47] thanks very much for your help [19:48] Cool, thank you. We might have a PPA setup. Lemme investigate. [19:48] question: in Unity if you type it gives suggestions, how do you make it run the first "hit" on enter instead of having to select it? [19:48] Maestr055, its ok. [19:48] quick question, would it be ubuntu itself or programs like Banshee, songbird that duplicates song files when importing an album? it not only duplicates in the program list of music, but also duplicates on the hard drive as well [19:48] sudokill: glad to hear it, I was kinda assuming it since you were in this channel and responding :D [19:48] hi there! === Mike1_ is now known as Mike1 [19:49] outerlimtz, it would be the music software. [19:49] excuse me guys, I'm trying to pair a bluetooth keyboard+mouse using blueman, but when I enter the passkey on my keyboard, it just doesn't work and I see the following message in my syslog file: " kernel: [ 525.144605] l2cap_recv_acldata: Frame is too long (len 16, expected len 8)".. does anybody know what could be wrong? [19:49] Hi all [19:49] ok, thanks. [19:50] (btw, I'm using ubuntu 11.04) === mightymizo is now known as mizo [19:51] i have trouble with [19:51] Hey guys. [19:51] hy [19:52] I want to install Ubuntu on my computer, but I want to ask you a few stuff first. [19:52] When I install it, does I loose everything on my pc ? [19:52] no [19:52] Like photo's, programs, etc ? [19:52] Product, you get the option to choose partitions [19:52] Partitions ? [19:52] you can use the free space on your laptop [19:52] Product, you can leave a partiton there [19:52] Oh, things I want to keep you mean. [19:53] yes [19:53] Product, you might only have 1 partition. the drives can be divided up into small sections (partitons) [19:53] Oh ok, thanks guys also other thing. [19:53] coz [19:53] Oooh ok Sudokill :) [19:53] Can I also have more options to switch to Windows back. [19:53] ubuntu can setup the partition on installation [19:53] In any time ? [19:53] can someone take one photo of me hackergotchi ? [19:53] uh... Is it not possible in 11.04 to run more than 4 instances of Nautilus at a time? [19:53] Product, yes, you can just format the drive and install windows back on it [19:54] Sudokill: Yes, but I mean if it is possible to have 2 OS on the same time. [19:54] yes [19:54] sudokill: you must work in a helpdesk to have thought of giving that information about the partition :) [19:54] Windows XP OS, and Ubuntu. [19:54] or you can make dualboot [19:54] Product, is windows already on the drive? [19:54] yea [19:54] SudoKill: Yes. [19:54] ok thats easier then [19:54] Is there a way to make a dd copy of a LVM? [19:54] it automally [19:54] Sudo: Nice :) === skynix_ is now known as skynix [19:54] SudoKill: But my friends told me that you can't open all programs. [19:55] you need to make a partition for ubuntu, then install ubuntu on that. the ubuntu bootloader will overwrite windows one and you can choose between both [19:55] Product, you wont be able to open any of your windows programs, from ubuntu [19:55] Sudokill: Oh. [19:55] #centos [19:55] Product: you can still open your files though, probably [19:55] Sudokill: Is there any way to open them ? [19:55] Product, no they are different operating systems [19:56] sudokill: with WINE he might? [19:56] But they told me there is a program that makes you able to open them. [19:56] Product, i thought you were dual booting anyway? [19:56] Yeah Wine [19:56] Product, yes wine [19:56] drink a lot of it! [19:56] Dual booting ? [19:56] the cheaper the better [19:56] Any free to help a newbie? >.< [19:56] then you THINK you'll have opened it [19:56] wireless issue. :P [19:56] Product, it's very easy to have Windows and Ubuntu installed side by side. Specially if you already have Windows installed. You can run many programs designed for Windows in Ubuntu, but not all of them, and you must install them in Ubuntu. You cannot use the installed version from Windows directly. [19:56] Product, dual booting is having 2 operating systems on same drive [19:56] With Wine, I can open any program I want ? For example a VB.Net program ? [19:56] Ooh that's a cool thing. [19:56] LOL [19:57] I can choose what OS I want on startup ? [19:57] Product, i have never used wine, but it usually works. i think some programs have problems [19:57] http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=what+can+I+open+with+WINE+in+ubuntu%3F [19:57] Oh ok :) [19:57] SudoKill: Oh ok :) [19:57] for instance: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wine [19:57] Product, when you install ubuntu, when it boots you should be able to select windows from a list when it starts up [19:57] Product, you cannot run all Windows applications using wine, but many. It's popular to run games, etc. [19:57] Thanks very much :) [19:58] But is there an option I can choose between Windows OS and Ubuntu on start up of the computer ? [19:58] yes like i said [19:58] Product: there should be, yes [19:58] Who Using Backtrack? [19:58] Oh ok :) [19:58] Can anyone tell me what a BSSID is, and how to get wireless working with Lubuntu? [19:58] * hotrod is away: Gone away for now [19:58] TheHopeBuster, as a main OS? [19:58] Do you recommend me using it then guys ? [19:58] hi [19:58] I think Linux is cool :) [19:58] Product, using what? [19:59] Ununtu [19:59] Ubuntu* [19:59] ... [19:59] Product, of course. [19:59] why ask here? [19:59] Product, you can try it by loading up the cd and not installing it, and play around with it it wont cause any harm at all [19:59] ask in #windows :D [19:59] Ok :) [19:59] Product: I suggest you try the Live CD out for a while, and if you don't like it then don't use it. [19:59] Maestr055: Thats not helpful. [19:59] Ok :) [19:59] How can I try a CD. [19:59] i've installed ubuntu 11.04. then i installed compizconfig-setting-manager. then I enabled cube desktop. metacity decorator disappeared. so I enabled decorator (compiz-decorator) [19:59] I mean. [19:59] Maestr055, they even recommend Ubuntu from time to time in ##Windows. :) [19:59] I use a CD. [19:59] *now I dont want cube anymore but metacity doesnt start so my windows don't have borders* [20:00] I have to use an empty CD, right ? [20:00] Product, just boot from the ubuntu cd. you will be able to use it (but not store anything permanently) and also it will be very very low compared to a proper install [20:00] I stand corrected, I was trying to convey an understanding of the importance of asking the right question in the right place [20:00] sudokill, Sorry [20:00] Oh ok :) [20:00] how the heck is metacity started in a "ubuntu classic" GNOME session ? [20:00] heh, I bet they do, jo- [20:00] Product, right. Or a memory stick or memory card. [20:00] Ok, I'll use an USB, is it good ? [20:00] Ok, I'll use Memory Stick. [20:00] Product, usb is normally faster than cd especially booting up [20:00] Ok :) [20:00] gionnico, how metacity is started? metacity --replace? [20:01] Product: I use this tool to make a bootable USB: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [20:01] How many GB's does it has to be ? [20:01] 2 ? [20:01] jo-erlend: and where is this line? what file? [20:01] works just fine with Ubuntu, 2 GB should be enough [20:01] Product, i think 1GB as the cd is 700mb [20:01] gionnico, ah. You want to edit the sessions? [20:01] i mean metacity --replace & works from terminal but it isnt started automatically! [20:01] Ooh ok :) [20:01] I want to ask if someone can also just help me via TeamViewer. [20:01] jo-erlend: i dont know i just know that since i enabled cube desktop then disabled it metacity isnt starting anymore [20:01] To install it on Memory Stick. [20:01] i want to restore previous behaviour [20:01] I would be pleased :) [20:02] Product, it's really very easy. I don't think you'll need any help once you've gotten it onto your usb stick or cd. [20:02] Ok :) [20:02] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [20:02] This right ? [20:02] Product: just try http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ it really is very straightforward [20:02] Oh ok. [20:02] gionnico, metacity doesn't support "cubes" and such though? [20:02] yes, download the 32-bit 11.04 version [20:02] Product, yes. a cd is probably easier to do if you havent got a clue (no offense) [20:02] I just wanted someone in TV with me, incase I do something wrong. [20:03] Maestr055, I think Ubuntus own is better. [20:03] i disabled cube desktop but metacity didnt come back! [20:03] but unetbootin can do that for you as well [20:03] jo-erlend: not familiar with that one [20:03] Don't worry Sudo, :) [20:03] Product, i think youll find ubuntu as easy to install as windows it has a nice big plain UI [20:03] io have a problem: my windows dont have borders when i log in gdm [20:03] I know I don't have much experience. [20:03] I know for a fact that unetbootin worked for me [20:03] Ok :) [20:03] Ubuntu has a cool GUI ? [20:03] and this happens since i tried cube desktop. even if i disable cube desktop windows wont have borders at login [20:03] i have one problem, my encoding is charset=unknown-8bit and because of that some letters are not shown correctly, how do I change this to utf8? [20:03] yeah [20:03] Cool :) [20:03] Product, yea the gui is nice and big and neat [20:03] oh, I did try their own one, that didn't work for me [20:04] You know, I don't want to use a small box like CMD. [20:04] Typing commands there. [20:04] ok g2g dinner [20:04] I thought you meant there was one called "ubuntus" *sigh* [20:04] Ok cya :) [20:04] bon appetit [20:04] and thanks again [20:04] :) [20:04] hey [20:04] I'am just scared to do something wrong, and BAM everything vanishs. [20:05] if you run from a USB and don't click anything that says "install" you should be fine :) [20:05] It is my first time doing this. [20:05] Product, you won't type any commands. You'll enter your name, which country you live in, username and password, then you'll click on "Keep windows" and slide the slider to tell the installer how much diskspace to use for Windows and Ubuntu... [20:05] Oh ok :) [20:05] Product, have you burned a CD before? [20:05] But don't I have to install it on my USB ? [20:05] Nope :( [20:05] Never, done before. [20:06] That's why I'am scared to do something wrong. [20:06] you can install it from USB or from the CD [20:06] just do the USB and try ubuntu [20:06] I'll use the USB/ [20:06] Product, ok. Don't worry. I haven't done it in a while, but I'll look it up for you. :) [20:06] if you like it, there's a link on the desktop to install it if you want [20:06] but you don't have to [20:06] Ok :) Thankls !! [20:06] Jo- I'll give you info ok ? [20:06] Oh wait can I use /msg ? [20:07] Product, sure. [20:07] if the burns fail i got a free cd from ubuntu that i used [20:07] heyyy [20:08] 237 153 339 [20:08] pip469 [20:08] heyyyyy [20:08] Ok :) [20:08] Product: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:15] ok solved it was gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default was still at the now non-existing /usr/bin/compiz window manager. [20:15] now.. how do i remove that ugly IM bar in gnome applet ?? [20:16] i dont want my username and auto-accounts and status [20:16] stuff [20:16] na [20:16] id like to remove completely the "complete indicator" but maybe not possible anymore. just clock and volume and status bar was enough to me [20:17] well good bye every one have a good night/morning. [20:18] hi, I ended up with some orhpaned files when a filesystem crashed. is there an available utility to scan the non-text files to get identity information from the file?

[20:18] i have one problem, my encoding is charset=unknown-8bit and because of that some letters are not shown correctly, how do I change this to utf8?

What can I do to get it back, please? [20:24] anyone here using a Wacom Bamboo (Pen)? [20:24] Any on guesses on why my ubuntu server's download speed fluctuates between bytes per second up to 250kb/sec when downloading from standard repositories? [20:25] Yxven: maybe bad repo mirror, I’d just try a different one [20:26] Mike1: I mean it drastically changes speeds when downloading the same file. It seems to happen from multiple sources [20:28] It almost seems like a priority issue or something. When I ssh in as a different terminal and ping google the download speed usually increases from bytes per second to something reasonable [20:28] Yxven, its probbaly someone on your network [20:28] maybe? [20:29] Does anybody know why my internet connction would randomly drop down to 5%? [20:29] sudokill: my download speed on my desktop still has reasonable transfer speeds/streaming music [20:29] is there a utility to scan a file to get identifying / format information from it? other than trying to stuff a 60 meg file into a te4xt editor? [20:29] phrostbite: there can be so many problems between your screen and the apache web server [20:30] Yxven, well streaming will cause big ping spikes [20:31] if no one else is on your network then maybe its your isp being random [20:31] happens all the time [20:31] sudokill: it just seems odd to me that my server's download speed gets completely strangled while the other network computers don't have any issues [20:31] they have peak times, cap limits (applies to some isp) sometimes they are just slow [20:32] Zaehlas: the file command [20:32] Yxven, try looking at the servers in software centre, choose a local one see if it helps [20:33] Mike1: thanks! [20:33] i think someone already suggested that though [20:33] I'll try it.

[21:11] that'll put a sendmail binary for them to use [21:11] hey all, the buttons that let me control my volume and turn my computer off have dissapeeared from my main panel and other icons/buttons have been moved to another part of the panel and i dont know how to move them back. what do? how do i move them back and get them back? D: [21:11] (and an easy to understand config to edit) [21:11] stephenh: ok, ill give it a look [21:11] I used gksu instead of sudo by mistake. [21:11] Northernen: well you press ctrl + x and it asks you to save or not... [21:12] Northernen: you used gksu on a CLI machine? Or... [21:12] Northernen, ctrl+x then y or n to save (yes or no) [21:12] read the little message it says at the bottom [21:12] stephenh: i knew i was done with sendmail when an expert told me, "the trick to sendmail is to consider the config files as binaries." *gasp*choke* [21:12] Northernen: gkus launches a gui that asks you for your password. So if you can't see that... [21:12] josedb: just keep an eye on it, i found a number of spammers that abuse mail php pages almost daily [21:12] mneptok: tbh i looked at it once and lost interest, you need to almost speak computer to deal with it [21:12] **imo** [21:13] I used it from the terminal, but didn't get a popup with password. [21:13] Northernen: Is it covered up? [21:13] Northernen: What happens when you press ctrl + x ?? [21:14] Any other tool for Bios updating other than Flashrom? [21:14] edbian, it's not covered up, and nothing happens when I press ctrl+x. The cursor just keeps on blinking. [21:15] Northernen, maybe its hung, but i doubt it [21:15] Osmodivs: your .exe will probably work under FreeDOS. burn a FreeDOS CD with the update on it, boot from it, and install from there. [21:15] stephenh: thanks for the recommendation, i dont wont to be missunderstand so i repeat, i have an account on a mail server, which i use via thunderbir [21:15] sudokill, it's not hung. I'm using two tabs, and the other tab is working. [21:15] mneptok, I get an error message [21:15] Northernen: That is strange. Open another terminal. Do gksu gedit The whole screen goes dark and you get a GUI to type in your password [21:15] stephenh: i want to use the same account to send emails via the server [21:15] Northernen, the command to exit nano is ctrl+x then choose y or n then enter [21:15] mneptok, But I guess that's the only way, eh? [21:16] hello [21:16] if you dont want to save it, just close the tab [21:16] if its not exiting [21:16] Osmodivs: ugh. that stinks. :( [21:16] skype - anyone know how to get a microphone working with pulse? I tried pavucontrol from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeTroubleshooting without success yet. [21:16] josedb: then you need to setup an MTA (exim?) and setup smtp-auth if you want to use a password [21:16] otherwise just list IPs or subnets that are allowed to relay [21:16] Osmodivs: call Intel and ask if they will provide you with the software they require to update their mobos? [21:16] by default if you install exim it will allow relay from 127.0.0.1 [21:17] I'm having problems with trying to set up apache2 on my comp as a virtual server to test php-sites.. basicly it's forbidding (403) me from entering localhost [21:17] but as i said, keep an eye on the mainlog cause people tend to have badly written mail .php pages which get abused [21:17] and before oyu know it you're on an rbl [21:17] any help? [21:17] I guess I'll just close it then. [21:17] stephenh: thanks again [21:17] grantbow: try "PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 /usr/bin/skype" [21:17] mneptok, They hate Linux [21:17] noob_saibot, what kind of networking does your VM have? [21:18] Has to be bridged or whatever. [21:18] sploenni: will try that, thanks. [21:18] Northernen: nothing special [21:18] noob_saibot: read the error_log in /var/log/httpd [21:18] Northernen: apache2 is running on the same comp as I'm working on [21:19] how can I change the keyboard mapping in gdm under natty? [21:19] Northernen: ok. just a min [21:19] herro, the buttons that let me control my volume and turn my computer off have dissapeeared from my main panel and other icons/buttons have been moved to another part of the panel and i dont know how to move them back. what do? how do i move and get them back? [21:19] Northernen: cause he's getting a 403 from the httpd, his networking must be working [21:19] pikkles, right click then move [21:19] pikkles, you might need to unlock panel or similar i think [21:19] no move option :( [21:19] stephenh, ah yes, that's right. I misread the question. [21:19] unlock the icon? [21:19] nopes [21:20] right click unlock icon [21:20] The only way is to install Windows and update from there, if I only had $299.99usd to buy a copy of Windows [21:20] Northernen: no such log [21:20] just the settings for the applications [21:20] Northernen: it's like if apache2 isn't even running, even though I've tried with /etc/init.d/apache2 start - and apache2ctl start [21:21] Northernen: but still 'pgrep httpd' gives me nothing [21:21] noob_saibot: pastebin your virtualhost config [21:21] stephenh: is that the httpd.conf? [21:21] yes [21:21] heyas. I was playing with the audio controls (trying to make the mic work) and now, there's a awful tone coming out from the speakers, even if all the inputs are muted. any hints? [21:21] i've forgotten how ubuntu does it [21:22] Can check if it is running with "sudo service httpd status". [21:22] there's an available-sites and another someting-sites [21:22] stephenh: it was empty, as apache2.conf has replaced it - but I added the line 'ServerName localhost' with no avail [21:22] your vhost normally sits in there [21:22] found it, my indicator applet menus removed themselves and i didnt know what they were called [21:22] can we paste links here?

[21:32] most likely, yes [21:32] you can use twonkyserver, although i think it has to pretranscode [21:32] i never found a tversity alternative for linux [21:33] stephenh: I changed the vm-stuff on the 'sites-enabled' [21:33] stephenh: and it did the changes to 'sites-available' [21:33] could you stream from the linux server to something like a roku box or another type of box connected to a tv? [21:33] stephenh: I assume that's the way to do it.. [21:34] outerlimtz: well it's a DLNA server, so any DLNA client (such as xbox etc) [21:34] ok, cool. let me check that out. thanks.

[23:16] Soziety I use Kubuntu for the following reasons. One, It is portable and fits very nicely on a simple hard drive. It is not a pig on resources and the most important feature is that you can apt-get anything your heart desires. [23:16] soziety, plain ubuntu has a nice big UI [23:16] its nice [23:17] xDDD [23:17] is there any possibility to show last used date of all packages? [23:18] soziety: anyway, there's a lot of personal preference involved, so we cannot suggest the 'best'. Try the livecds for ubuntu/kubuntu and see for yourself [23:18] blackoutfh: "used" date? [23:18] Poindexter_, kubuntu consumes less than ubuntu? [23:18] yeah i want so see if there are some packages installed that have never been used [23:19] blackoutfh: I don't see that is possible [23:19] *how [23:19] ok I tried kubuntu 10.04 then, thanks [23:19] blackoutfh: packages consist of many files. There's no 'tracker' for all of those files [23:19] soziety, kde is more bloated actually but i think it uses about the same resources [23:19] Soziety Kubuntu installs very nicely on a Windows Guest for VirtualBox. [23:20] kde definatly isnt slow [23:20] Is it possible to use vmware or something similar to create an empty virtual disk? [23:20] @oCean thx [23:20] I want to kick windows 7 [23:20] I want to play with fdisk on it. [23:21] soziety, if you like windows 7s look youll like kdes even more [23:21] I want to install linux and then install vmware with windows [23:21] Kubuntu is good for older legacy machines. [23:22] ?? things like xuubntu and lubuntu are [23:22] kde needs quite a good comp compared [23:22] Xubuntu is in the same catagory. [23:22] xfce is much faster than kde :s [23:23] xubuntu is awesome [23:23] i dunno.. xfce has gotten just as bloated as gnome IMO... kind of a disappointment, i used to really like xfce [23:23] Faster is not the issue. Hardware compatibility is. [23:23] Lxde is the answer! [23:23] Gnome is a pig. [23:23] openbox imo [23:23] pure openbox is so fast [23:23] lxde is also cool but harder to configure [23:23] its unbelievable [23:23] blackoutfh: not really.. once you get the hang of it, it's very simple [23:25] Northernen: VBoxMange can do that (actually dd can do that, but in that case you have to set # cylinders etc) [23:25] for sure you can set everything in config files, but xubuntu has the advantage that there are a lot of menus where you can change settings is easier for beginners IMHO [23:25] blackoutfh: http://imagebin.org/160948 [23:25] lubuntu makes it to not have to configure to much [23:26] blackoutfh, yep, kde and gnome are tha main ones for that reason [23:27] sudokill: i could never get used to KDE... [23:27] i just hate it [23:27] oCean, cheers. Will have a go there. [23:27] so do i [23:27] ubuntu 10.04 or ubuntu 11.04? [23:27] ill never move from openbox i dont like tilers either [23:28] soziety, go with the latest [23:28] xfce is also easy to use i use shortkeys in xfce there is the keyboardmenu to set them, in lxde there is only the conffile [23:28] soziety: nless you have some need for LTS, go w/ 11.04 [23:28] well i think xfce might get more interest because of gnome 3 its the closest thing to gnome 2 [23:28] which in a lot of people ipinions is the best de [23:28] XFCE is getting better and better with time... [23:29] Stupid [23:29] IDIOTAS [23:29] STUPIDS"!!!! [23:29] Ignacio: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:29] sudokill: yeah, and after i tried gnome 3, and i saw i'm gonna hate it... i switched to xfce.. (might as well embrace the change now)... but xfce, it was just buggy to me... ha strange lockups at times, etc.. that i never had w/ Gnome 2.x... Lxde, has been flawless [23:29] ramzy_: i disagree, i think xfce has denegrated horribly [23:30] can I encrypt the system with ubuntu 11.04? [23:30] soziety: you can encrypt yoru home [23:30] KM0201, you mean from a memory consumption point of view? [23:31] mimiimi [23:31] Hello. I am trying to figure out a problem with my bluetooth. I got a laptop second hand and installed xubuntu then ubuntu over it. My bluetooth light is on yet ubuntu does not recognize it. [23:31] ramzy_: i mean from memory consumption, to overall bloat... Xfce, part of its appeal, used to be that it was less bloated than Gnome or KDE... now, IMO.. it's just as bloated (maybe a bit less so) than both of them.. [23:31] mimimimimimim [23:31] I created a thread on ubuntuforums for an issue I am having with Apache: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11002927 Requests are delayed by 5 seconds on remote computers, but loading a page on the Ubuntu machine itself is instant. I captured packets on the remote machine and the delay is almost exactly 5 seconds. Does anyone know what could be causing a 5 second delay? [23:31] mimimimimimimimim [23:31] so that leaves you w/ LXDE/Openbox.. as truly "light" GUI's [23:32] i use openbox now, and i agree that xfce has become a not so light DE, but it still more responsive than gnome [23:32] well i tried them all, i thought gnome 3 was ok actually look wise but all the big de's are too complex for their own good imo [23:32] openbox can be one of the nicest looking DEs [23:33] how do i use emeral themes in 11.04 [23:33] Gnome 3.. to me, it's kinda like the hottest chick in HS... fun to look at, then you talk to her and realize she's got a poor attitude. [23:33] fuck on all derivates of linux [23:33] kumulatores, go back to your windows [23:33] lol [23:33] :) [23:33] whats gnome 3 [23:33] i just dn't fin gnome 3 near as good as 2.x [23:34] Success: the successor to gnome 2.. :) [23:34] ew windows [23:34] but whats it like 1104 ubuntu [23:34] gnome 3? [23:34] Success: it's not fully implemented into Ubuntu yet.. only distros i'm aware of that have it, are the current version of Open Suse, and Fedora [23:34] not good idea apparently its buggy and can mess things up [23:34] oh [23:34] so how do i use emeral themes in 1104 [23:34] Success: no.. 11.04 has Unity.. (kinda like gnome 3... but different) [23:34] gnome 3 has a long way to go.....just my opinion...i still wait to see how its going to work on ubuntu 11.10 [23:34] Success: emerald themes are not supported anymore to my knowledge, you use compiz [23:35] !emerald [23:35] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [23:35] but what about in ubuntu classic [23:35] Success: i wouldn't mess w/ emerald. [23:35] so how i use themes [23:35] customized nicely like emeral did [23:35] download non-emerald themes, or download compiz themes [23:35] any theme can be customized, not just emerald [23:36] you just gotta find one you like [23:36] http://i.imgur.com/iYnGb.png [23:36] but most ppl give packages which i dont like uninstalling and reinstalling every time i want to change theme [23:36] Success: i dunno what to tell you [23:36] make your own [23:36] but emerald is definitely not supported [23:37] i found compiz theme [23:37] well mainly i wanted icons [23:37] wait what [23:37] there's TONS of icon themes. [23:37] whats the main ubuntu theme thing [23:37] Success: http://www.gnome-look.org [23:37] like what kind of file [23:37] oh [23:37] Success: the "main" ubuntu thing.. is Unity if you're using 11.04 [23:38] i'm not sure how gnome themes apply there [23:38] unity ugh [23:38] :) [23:38] so i want unity themes [23:38] !screenshot [23:38] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it.

[23:50] guest54970: thats possible? [23:51] i hope so [23:51] Guest54970, what kind of cd? music? [23:51] i need it for school [23:51] No dice in classic either. mic is just grey [23:51] no a cd-rom [23:51] lol, fixed the volume issue, now the crackling. [23:52] Guest54970: Insert CD to drive (what type of cd is it, music?) and you should see top up window. [23:52] JonJ, make sure you've selected the right sound card in the preferences. do you have an on board camera? [23:52] it's an interactive cd-rom with school assignments on it [23:52] Guest54970, so it's an application CD? you'll probably need wine [23:52] k, fixed it, thanks for the advice westz. [23:52] Guest54970: with autorun.exe on it? [23:52] !wine | Guest54970 [23:52] Guest54970: 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 [23:53] yes...autorun [23:53] It's a desktop, no onboard camera. There is a camera in the monitor though, which is connected via usb. Testing the mic works, and I can hear myself fine [23:53] JonJ, are you set to push to talk? [23:53] Yeah [23:53] right control is push to talk [23:53] i installed wine...but i'm still trying to figure ubuntu out [23:54] try a different key real quick [23:54] Guest54970, everyone who uses ubuntu is still trying to figure it out. thats the fun [23:54] lol. [23:54] i tried to do a dual os (i had xp) and some how installed ubuntu over xp [23:54] ha!!! [23:54] how did i turn into the q&a guy? i came with a question... [23:55] rofl, you started answering :P [23:55] what was your issue? [23:55] now i have to learn ubuntu [23:55] i do like it so far [23:55] Still no dice, tried a few different ones now, but doesn't work [23:55] Is there a way to make gnome-terminal use the system alert sound for bells, rather than the PC speaker beep? [23:55] Guest54970: unfortunately learning ubuntu cold turkey is difficult, as you're bound to run into problems [23:55] Fun Fact # 8293829: You can crash ubuntu by stretching a window too far horizontally [23:56] seriously, try it [23:56] don't say I didn't warn you [23:56] hey....how do i change my font color [23:56] Guest54970, you dont "learn" ubuntu [23:56] ajf: thats ridiculous. [23:56] KM0201: I have done it. [23:56] ajf: so have i, many, many, MANY times [23:56] ok...figure out basic skill [23:56] Guest54970, in what? [23:56] here [23:56] in this chat [23:56] Guest54970: what client are you using.. would be a goo thing to mention [23:57] refer to the man pages and help pages [23:57] I'm not that familiar with teamspeak, but does one need permission to talk? [23:57] depends on what "here" is. (meaning the different irc clients" [23:57] Guest54970: You could start with (in irc client) /nick MorePersonalNick ? [23:57] meh, the guest names don't bother me... :) [23:57] JonJ, depends on what channel you're in and the server [23:57] thanks qin [23:57] every time i try to run "screen", it gives me a segmentation fault http://pastebin.com/mPb0d5aS - how do i fix it or troubleshoot it? [23:57] Let me try a different question my laptop has 4gb of ram yet linux only sees 3. could this be because i am using x86?
