[00:00] babu: alot easer then it was to install hory [00:00] heck yea. [00:00] Hey all, I'm trying to launch an ubuntu image on EC2 for the first time, and having a difficult time of it - anyone have a link to a good step-by-step guide of launching one of the official Ubuntu EC2 images in the northeast/virginia region? [00:00] qin ok [00:00] Wups, guess I typed this before I got connected to the channel. My question was: [00:00] What is a nice simple web server I can set up on my Ubuntu desktop so that other computers (like my wife's iPad) can access files on the desktop via the LAN? I remember something called LightHTTP or something, that was supposed to be easier to set up than a full Apache server. I don't plan to expose it to the world-wide Internet outside our home LAN. [00:00] yea ,look i mean i dont want to burn cd or download i just want to update it by auto download,u knw i have nt enough experince to use linux so that u [00:00] babu: dl and burn new cd install that all will be well [00:00] gogeta: or if his machine will boot usb, and you have a usb. [00:01] i have 3 times of experince of linux use,lol\ [00:01] babu: its way to old to upgrade unfortanly [00:01] ok,nevermind [00:01] babu: updating that version of Linux, will literally take forever, if it even is successful, because so many of those servers are no longer maintained [00:01] i mean no problem [00:01] qin MusicBrainz Picard found it thanks [00:02] seangrove, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide [00:02] they maximize on the other virtual desktop [00:02] well if i move windows# [00:02] they maximize on the other virtual desktop === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [00:03] can someone help me get my usb device on my guest os [00:03] well if i move windows# [00:03] to the border [00:03] they maximize on the other virtual desktop [00:03] need: Please, dn't repeat. [00:03] swmail: Yeah, been through that. I imagine it's more ec2-specific stuff I need to get familiar with. Alestic.com for example made it easy to launch the image in north-east, but I think the official ubuntu images are only available in Asia Pacific [00:03] Don't even. [00:03] kwtm2: 11.04?

[01:08] hi [01:09] captyler: sudo fdisk -L will tell you what file system is there. [01:10] rww, hm, don't have it in my repo.. i amon 10.04 (=lucid lynx) [01:11] Hi, I asked for help here yesterday re. creating a bootable USB drive. I've finally successfully managed it (so Ubuntu tells me, when it finished the process using the boot disk creator) but when putting the flash drive in my machine it tells me to "insert bootable flash drive or restart" - this has been tried in each of the three USB ports, with three different USB sticks. [01:11] this is weird because Ubuntu was originally installed via a USB stick on that machine [01:11] now i am running photorec on the disk, please wait me 20 minutes. But the filesistem in my old disk is ext3 [01:12] it's a netbook so afaik my only option is a USB stick, as I don't have an external CD drive to plug in [01:12] can anyone offer advice? :/ [01:12] tajasel, remove it from the sources.list then [01:12] looking for help. running ubuntu 10.04 (lucid lynx) on an Acer Aspire 9300. i cannot get the sound an mic to work. it appears as though the driver is not installed, but can't a linux version of the driver [01:12] phil_: pastebin your lspci [01:12] tajasel, is your pendirve bootable? [01:12] tajasel, assuming you mean the install is successful and you now are in the process of updating and upgrading packages [01:12] !pastebin | phil_ [01:13] phil_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:13] qin now i am running photorec on the disk, please wait me 20 minutes. But the filesistem in my old disk is ext3 [01:13] tajasel, you can check that with the fdisk command [01:13] bazhang: no, not at all, I mean, it won't boot! [01:13] how do you send messages to me directly? You appear in red color [01:14] Benkinooby: I just made a bootable pendrive following the instructions on the Ubuntu website, yes. [01:14] tajasel, connect the pendrive, make sure it's unounted and the use fdisk /dev/ [01:14] tajasel, so it never installed? you wish to run from the live usb stick only? === donald is now known as Guest64385 [01:14] tajasel, what software did you use to create the pendirve? [01:14] captyler: use their name see [01:15] captyler: In sane terms, if you can see your file with testdisk, just overwrite partition table, if not, either photorec, scalpel or foremost (best, but most cubersome), you would want to dd your drive to image and use this one to look for file. [01:15] tajasel, if it never booted properly at all, then try again, and possibly use another tool : unetbootin [01:15] I currently have a netbook running 11.04. Something is wrong with the update manager, I've given up trying to fix it and have resolved to just reinstall. [01:15] tajasel, thats not a problem with update manager [01:15] captyler: With your nick in front [01:16] tajasel, paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list [01:16] bazhang: no, look, I've decided I'm happy to just do a fresh install, that's REALLY all I want to do now. [01:17] tajasel, its completely unnecessary, but do what you wish [01:17] whats the default rhythmbox folder? usr/share? [01:17] Only the bootable USB I've just made following the instructions on ubuntu.com (successfully, according to Startup Disk Creator, the software recommended in said instructions) and the machine won't boot from it, in any of the 3 USB ports on the machine, and it won't boot from two other drives either [01:17] tajasel, whats that got to do with update manager [01:17] bazhang: I've spent three weeks agonising over how to fix the update manager. One of my friends (who works for Canonical) hasn't been able to figure it out either, and neither have any of their coworkers. [01:18] tajasel, whats the connection with usb flash key that wont boot and update manager [01:18] KM0201: lspci results are here http://pastebin.com/d3WCpzrg [01:18] I think I know better than you do, being the one sitting in front of my netbook, what is "necessary" and I have decided a fres install is easier at this point [01:18] qin yo say that when i re-write my partition table, the files that was cut will be appear magically?? [01:18] the update manager being borked is the reason for reinstalling, only I can't reinstall because the flash drive won't boot *sigh* [01:19] phil_: what version of ubuntu are you using/ [01:19] bazhang: FWIW, I don't think we helped though I did help a couple people with similar issues [01:19] (in #compiz) [01:19] now, I see the rest of the files, except that i was cut === Guest64385 is now known as donatello [01:19] KM0201: 10.04 lucid lynx [01:19] tajasel, could you explain what borked is in this context? [01:19] captyler: Yes, btw since I know scid database iscomposed from 3 files. === donatello is now known as donatello57 [01:19] j [01:19] qin tes [01:20] phil_: did you just install?.. i remember reading about that devicing having a problem w/ ubuntu, but honestly, i thought it was resolved [01:20] burn [01:20] bazhang: whenever running apt-get update or trying to update through gui, it fails (with a different error every single time, usually to do with something in the source list) [01:20] qien need the three files, i dont rememeber the other extentions, I will investigate [01:20] KM0201: this is a school laptop. i believe this install was around march. however i have the same problem with puppy linux and kubuntu [01:20] removing lines from the source list, and even writing over the source list, has not fixed it. [01:21] captyler: Hmm, what part of file did you cut, start, middle, end? [01:21] phil_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1539989 [01:21] tajasel, I'd be more than happy to help you fix it, but if you are set on a reinstall, that is certainly your choice. [01:21] captyler: .si .sn .sg [01:21] As I say, it has had several people, including Canonical employees, try to figure it out now. And nobody can be bothered anymore. I wish to reinstall. That is what I asked when I came in here. If I had meant "I want to do x but you are welcome to try and convince me to do y" then I would have said so. I didn't. [01:21] qin entirelly, I only perform a moving task to reorder my files [01:22] KM0201: i'll check it out and let you know what i find. thanks [01:22] qin .si4 .sn4 .sg4 thanks [01:23] captyler: If you see file then it should be in orginal size, since rm is done after cp (I think in nautilus too). [01:24] tajasel, I was under the impression you wished assistance in solving this. thus the reason joining here and asking for advice [01:24] (fwiw I had all this hassle earlier and it's nothing against you but no matter how often I ask for help in this channel someone will return with "but you should do something else instead", it wears thin after a while.) [01:24] tajasel, not sure why you are here then, if not for tech support [01:25] qin so what the next? overwrite partition table? [01:25] qin there are other more safe method? [01:25] qin qin before write my partition table... (I don t know why but when i have to do risky tasks, the things ging wrong jeje), can i do a bak up of a partition? [01:26] oh for goodness sake, I keep explaining what I am struggling with and have asked for helpwith getting a fresh install onto the machine. how is that not asking for tech support? [01:26] captyler: Make image first (not copy, dd 1:1 image) [01:26] KM0201: when i go to sound preferences and then the sound tab, there is no device to be configured. so it seems as though the system recogized that it is connected, but won't do anything with it? [01:26] things it is not: "convince me to do something different". thing it is: "here is my problem, can anyone help me?" [01:26] qin how? [01:26] tajasel, I said earlier to give unetbootin a try, very early on [01:26] qin my partition has 60 Gb [01:27] which is a way to reinstall via usb stick tajasel [01:28] captyler: I guess you need extra 60 Gb, http://www.linuxweblog.com/dd-image, or try to use foremost (or scalpel) first. [01:28] phil_: i have no idea.. try asking on the forums.. if nobody else hwere can help you [01:28] right, but you also said "if it never booted properly at all". as the machine is currently booting, but won't update package lists (which means I can't install new software = infuriating) I disregarded the message. now you know the machine *does* currently boot, is netbootin still somethingworth trying? [01:28] KM0201: thanks for the try. will do on the forums. cheers [01:28] I have never heard of it, so I don't really know what I'm doing with that. [01:29] qin I have space in my new HD [01:29] tajasel, please preface your comments with the nick of the person you are addressing or they may well miss it. [01:30] captyler: Well, if you make image, you can reuseit many times, till success. [01:30] qin then I will try to write the Image doesn't it? [01:30] bazhang: righto, other channels I use aren't typically so high volume so not used to doing that for every message. will trying to remember. === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [01:32] tajasel, please include full details, if no one answers, then possibly no one knows. in that case repeat a few minutes later. good luck with your issue. [01:32] tajasel: Did you posted somewhere output of: sudo apt-get update && lsb_release -a && cat /etc/apt/sources.list && ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ??? [01:32] tajasel, you can't update and can't install, then you need to find a 2nd computer to make the usb [01:33] qin with the image, do i use testdisk? or with the phisical disk? is the same? [01:33] tajasel: and: df -h && sudo fdisk -L && cat /var/log/ === Barzogh_ is now known as Barzogh [01:34] qin: not yet, no - to me that seems irrelevant though as it strikes me as trying to fix the problem that six people have tried and failed to fix. [01:34] captyler: No, you still using it on real drive, just moving orginal image back to drive in case of failure. [01:35] qin: when I have said "I *really* just want to fresh install" [01:35] qin: please feel free to correct me if I interpreted why you want me to do that incorrectly though [01:35] qin OK. I will only back up one of the 9 partitions (the partition I need) [01:35] Is there any Linux based software for tracking sports activities? [01:35] tajasel: You said you cannot update and install [01:36] OerHeks: the computer that won't update/install seems to be making bootable drives just fine. the only other one I have is a Mac, and everyone I speak to warns me against using a Mac to make Ubuntu bootable drives [01:36] qin i suppose i can put the dd-image of a partition on the disk [01:36] kdg: Live live scores? [01:36] captyler: Yes [01:37] *like [01:37] qin: that's correct, I said this to explain why I wanted to do a fresh install. this is not the problem I am having, the problem I am having is that the bootable drive I made won't boot my machine. As I have explained. Several times. [01:38] i haven't heard 'everybody' about that, tajasel [01:38] qin thanks, that way I will working the disk partition by partition. I will be back if i need. Very pleased Qin :) [01:38] OerHeks: you haven't been here/paying attention the previous times I've been here with this problem then. [01:38] tajasel: why don't you just burn a live cd and install from it? [01:38] th0r: netbook, no CD drive. [01:38] How do you compute the md5sum for a .iso? [01:39] th0r: (also explained earlier) [01:39] tajasel: you can't borrow a usb drive? [01:39] !md5sum [01:39] 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 [01:39] th0r: a USB CD drive?no, because nobody I know owns one. [01:39] tajasel: and the only way you have to create a usb drive is a mac, right? [01:40] th0r: or a USB flash drive? no need, I have three, all have failed to boot my machine. [01:40] OerHeks: Thanks! [01:40] tajasel you have a mac? [01:40] th0r: no, as I have said, several times, I have made the bootable USBs I'm struggling with on the netbook I want to fix. [01:40] Barzogh: yes, I do. [01:40] you want to boot yout mac from USB? [01:40] !hashes | Boom_Farmer [01:40] Boom_Farmer: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [01:40] OH GOD [01:41] NO [01:41] Wine 1.2.2 or 1.3 beta?? [01:41] I want to boot the netbook that is broken from the USB [01:41] tajasel, lose the caps [01:41] tajasel: well, it seems you have eliminated any way of reinstalling, and since you don't want to explore making sufficient repairs to correct anything.... [01:41] bazhang: Had that, just wasn't sure if i was runnign the command right. [01:41] Boom_Farmer, ah okay apologies [01:41] bazhang: when people start actually paying attention to what I'm saying, sure. until then, well, I believe caps are shouting, and having to explain everything ten times is making me want to shout. wouldn't you want to? [01:42] I've been paying attention to what you've said, and I came to the conclusion that you are a whiny bitch [01:42] Sure. [01:42] tajasel, as you have refused all attempts at assistance, I'd say you should lose the caps [01:42] that's not nice [01:42] quix, thats completely uncalled for [01:42] bazhang: whats that line you can add to your kernel, if you're having boot problems... it's not nomodeset there's another one [01:42] "hurry, quickly, I want an answer, now! I demand it!" [01:43] I personally think it's very rude to call people names over the interne when they are too far from you to sock you in the face. [01:43] KM0201, from !bootoptions ? [01:43] i dunno, i'll look.. :) [01:43] quix: no, I just want people to read what I'm saying. I don't think that's unreaonable. [01:43] You should at least give him your address if you are going to name call. It's only fair. [01:43] Sorry to interrupt, Ive installed Ubuntu for maybe the third time in the last 3 years and this is the one that will stick, anyone know of some good guides to follow? (not listen in the first page of google) thanks! [01:44] lets move on please [01:44] aColdshot: To install ubuntu? [01:44] th0r: look. I have a netbook. it has USB, but no CD/DVD drive. I do not know anybody with an external CD/DVD drive. I cannot magic them out of thin air. Can you? I have tried 3x ports and 3x USB sticks (nine different ways of trying the install). I've come here because I've run out of ideas. six different people have tried, and failed, to fix the original problem, I wish to reinstall the OS, but can't, that's why I'm here. [01:44] tajasel if usb-boot does not work, try to reset your netbook, powerplug out, batery out, push powerbutton 10 sec, and reinstall batery & plug & usb [01:45] th0r: I'm not rejecting the suggestions because I'm unwilling, I'm saying "I've already tried those" and "I can't use hardware I don't have access to" [01:45] no, once its installed to ease me into everything so I dont get frustrated and revert to a crappy OS [01:45] aColdshot, if you want everything to work right for a long time, don't install all the updates, just because. I learned that the hard way, and I just had to reinstall the OS again this weekend. [01:45] OerHeks: thank you, I'll try that now. [01:45] ok, noted [01:45] ! install | aColdshot [01:45] aColdshot: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation.

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:45] sorry maybe I wasnt clear, its allready installed [01:46] im more concerned about the next steps so I dont get lost and confused [01:46] tajasel: If you have machine (desktop), just hook up drive there and install (unless 64/32 issue) [01:46] aColdshot: What steps? [01:46] Is there any Linux based software for tracking sports activities? [01:47] um hi there... i:m a windows user who:s just installed ubuntu w/ unity. where is the control panel or something? [01:47] like learning how to use it to full potential, maybe a starters guide [01:47] aColdshot: Checkout YouTUbe, lots of tips and guides. [01:47] ok thanks I'll brows the tubes now [01:47] squirrel, right side menu (top) system settings ? that one? [01:47] squirrel: IIRC, you can click on the power button in the upper right to access the configuration panel [01:47] qin: I don't believe I have a way of hooking netbook up to my desktop [01:47] KM0201: can i ask a couple more questions? [01:47] phil_: sure. [01:48] ! who | aColdshot [01:48] aColdshot: As you can see, this is a large channel.

SATA on netbook but no idea about iMac [01:49] aColdshot: no problem [01:49] tajasel: iMac may not work. [01:49] KM0201: so it seems to recognize the driver now (maybe because of updates?). when ubuntu opens, i hear sound. but when i go to youtube, i can't get any sound. alsamixer seems to work and sound preferences now shows the hardware [01:49] before I reinstalled this weekend I had lost all funcationality of my Wine games thanks to running every update thrown at me [01:50] KM0201: any ideas on where to go from here? grabbing headphones as we speak to check that out [01:50] phil_: my guess is, your speakers are set to digital.. go to that link i sent you, and set your speakers to analog [01:50] Phil, you using firefox right? [01:50] KM0201: ok [01:50] OerHeks: I've tried restarting as you suggested, when inserting bootable USB now it gives same message as before; "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" [01:51] ParadigmUltra: yes [01:51] phil_: I believe firefox has it's own alsa plugin that might resolve, or be causing the problem [01:51] OerHeks: I've moved the stick around different ports, and tried 3 different sticks, each time the same error. [01:51] ParadigmUltra: ultimately i want this to work so i can do some voip testing...so firefox is not the answer (necessarily) for me [01:52] can you get sound on other apps? mp3s? [01:52] tajasel: Lets start from bios, boot to bios with stick in usb, is it recognised? [01:52] phil_: can you get sound on other apps? mp3s? [01:52] ParadigmUltra: i haven't tried it since i don't have any right now (school laptop), but i'll throw some on and see. thanks for the suggestion [01:52] sure [01:52] np [01:53] qin: yes it is [01:53] KM0201: now i understand the analog link. that did it...thanks. now onto the mic [01:53] tajasel: And boot order, remove all but usb, reboot [01:53] phil_: its probably a similar problem w/ your mic.. it's probably set to internal, or maybe some channel that you don't have. [01:54] qin: done [01:54] KM0201: rgr [01:54] phil_: when its set properly (assuming your mic is hooked up if its an external) you should see the little meter at the bottom move when it detects external noise [01:55] qin: doing so gives following error after it sees and recognises the USB stick: [01:55] KM0201: i'm using an internal mic at the moment, but if this isn't working, i might be searching with friends for an external [01:55] qin: "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" [01:55] tajasel: did you create the usb drives on the mac? [01:55] n [01:56] phil_: like i said, make some adjustments on the "Input" tab.. for your mic.. my guess is, you're gonna et it working [01:56] th0r: no, the netbook, using Startup Disk Utility [01:56] th0r: following instructions on ubuntu.com [01:56] tajasel: from what version to what version (usb) [01:56] 11.04 to 11.04 [01:56] KM0201: got it to work. thanks for your help!! i've been working on this for weeks. i can't believe it was that simple (but it usually is, right?) [01:57] phil_: sometimes its just a matter of not knowing what needs to be known.. not that it's necessarily difficult. [01:57] KM0201: ha, thanks again. [01:57] hmmm...just noticied after i installed 11.04 ubuntu loaded with an error on boot and loaded classic ubuntu but after i set the drivers up and rebooted now looks like 11.04 no errors on bootup [01:57] np [01:58] tajasel: Well, you could chroot usb (no idea if this will let you install) [01:58] ParadigmUltra: thanks for your help as well [01:58] yw [01:58] qin: I don't know what that means, sorry. [01:59] tajasel: Can you boot usb into mac, did you try? [01:59] ok so sound works for the headphone jock in my macbook pro 5,5 but I want Ubuntu to work on my internal speakers. Can someone help me please? [01:59] qin: didn't try, I'm using the Mac to talk from so that I can play about with the netbook [01:59] Ive had a hell of a time botting from usb on mac [02:00] booting* [02:00] cryoniccore, not sure,, first did you check in terminal alsamixer to be sure none of the sliders are down or muted? [02:00] aparrantly installing the video drivers helps to load 11.04 [02:00] aColdshot: What problem? [02:00] hi [02:00] cos_, no I have not. whats the terminal code for it? [02:00] tajasel: Let go (as idea) throught this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH [02:00] aColdshot, are you sure USB booting is even possible on Mac? I believe I've heard it may not be... but i'd never own a Mac, so i'm certainly not sure. [02:01] Hi Xavier [02:01] may i have little help please:)? [02:01] cryoniccore, just open a terminal, type alsamixer [02:01] soreau, doesnt work, Ive been able to boot other mac os and windows but was never able to get ubuntu to boot from usb on my macbook pro [02:01] Sure, just ask [02:01] cryoniccore, sorry thats alsamixer [02:01] im trying to install ubuntu on my computer but its seems ubuntu doesnt want ^_^ [02:01] i try few times with wubi.exe [02:01] cryoniccore, nope wrong again alsamixer [02:01] If someone is knowledgeable about it they will answer, probably :) [02:01] and i can get ubuntu to work [02:01] aColdshot: I thought there was a specific liveUSB for that [02:01] Zykotick9, yea it never used to be able to, now it allows mac os and windows with a little push in the right direction, [02:02] qin: I'm willing to give it a go, I didn't know that was possible, I thought USB was my only option due to not having CD drive. [02:02] only when i get in from recovery mode-> graphic fail [02:02] tntc, yea thats what I was trying with [02:02] install linux 2Gb micro sd card [02:02] and after i get out from graphic fail mode i cant get in there anymore :S [02:02] tajasel: It is not sure method. [02:02] cryoniccore, there you will notice sliders if the card is recognized,,, arrows move back and forth,, if muted, hit the keyboard "m" to unmute [02:02] slightly concerned by the "may break your system" part, I'd ideally like to have a working machine for a training session I'm doing tomorrow. [02:02] cryoniccore, up and down arrow move the sliders [02:02] (which involves installing stuff, hence needing to fix stuff...) [02:03] Xavier_, that's the one that you load from within windows right? [02:03] kinda,i install it from windows [02:03] then i have option to choose it while load up [02:03] xavier__: You may want to try load it from a USB drive, that seems to be the favored way here, unless your PC's BIOS doesn't have the ability to boot from usb [02:03] and i finished the installation [02:04] cryoniccore, if none of that works,, and no one here can suggest anything at this particular time,,, try the #alsa channel and the #pulseaudio channel,,, [02:04] i cant boot from usb :( [02:04] how did u put the iso on the usb? [02:04] and i try few cd's and its seems i cant run its from live cd also [02:04] unbootin [02:04] what happens when you try to boot from a live CD? [02:04] cos_, sliders are up but no sound [02:04] :( [02:05] i just see the open screen [02:05] xavier__, try the minimal install cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:05] with the cursor [02:05] cryoniccore, ok then move over to both the #alsa and #pulseaudio channels [02:05] r u running windows atm? [02:05] qin: ok, so if I were to give one last shot at fixing the update manager, what might I need to do? because obviously reinstalling is just as much a PITA as trying to fix it, may as well give it one more go whilst (on my mac) netbootin downloads the iso [02:05] wow 11.04 is like a whole new OS where is the terminal? lol [02:05] cryoniccore, not sure when most people are in those channels [02:05] xavier__: Your computer is 32 or 64 bit? [02:05] 32 [02:06] sd, I'm still looking heh [02:06] at the first installation step [02:06] sd, hit alt+F2 or click the upper left ubuntu symbol and type in terminal [02:06] xavier__: And the CD is for the 32 bit version, correct? [02:06] tajasel: I mena to paste this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet [02:06] i had 5 option to choose from [02:06] i cant access only from acpi work something [02:06] yea lol [02:06] can* [02:06] sd, or log off and change session to classic [02:06] xavier__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:06] stupid robot :-/ [02:06] how i can change to classic? [02:07] coz_found it thanks [02:07] !classic | xavier__ [02:07] !classic [02:07] xavier__: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [02:07] qin: is that more likely ro work without breakage than over SSH? [02:08] yeah mine ubuntu 11.04 went back to classic until i installed the video driver and rebooted [02:08] bah, just setuid and added root to some groups, surely wrong but iwfm [02:09] xavier_: it doesn't sound like you are getting far enough to make that choise, but I could be wrong. i never tried to install it that way. only from CD [02:09] tajasel: Never tried ssh method. [02:10] qin: I would actually be *quite* hapopy to just resolve the Update Manager issue, if that can be done, I'm just really sceptical now because so many people have been trying for so long to do so. [02:11] wow this really sucks [02:11] This is the error being thrown by UM when it tries to read poackage lists: http://pastebin.com/QxA1aq87 [02:11] cryoniccore, no one in either of those channels responded? [02:12] coz_, no not really. [02:12] Can anyone tell me why google earth shows no text? Previously the text was strange but fixed by installing some fonts package but I load it today and all the text is gone [02:12] tajasel, that error is easily fixed, got hit by it myself [02:13] hello [02:13] I created a usb boot disk to boot on a pc from a mac. Followed the instructions for creating the flash drive. It is created but it won't boot [02:13] This error is just the latest to hit me, each time it has given me an error I've fixed/moved.edited/done something to the file it complains about, try to read package lists again and then it has something different to complaiun about [02:13] no option for it to boot on either computer [02:13] tajasel, for some reason ( bug) the archive files are saved as html, delete the offending ones and then update sources.list and upgrade [02:13] any ideas? [02:13] bazhang: if you think you know what';s wrong though, please, do go for it! [02:14] Actually, the text might be present but extremely tiny [02:14] cryoniccore, I am not real familiar with apple/ubuntu issues,, however ,, did you look here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 .. not sure how applicable it is for you [02:14] tajasel, I just said what it was [02:14] format says iso but was originally hfs [02:14] tajasel, there are about 8-10 of those iirc [02:14] bazhang: right, I was typing looking at my keyboard not the screen, I;'m trying it now. [02:14] also says the drive is read only, I tried to change permissions on it but it didn't work I think [02:15] tajasel, in this one case you may wish to use gksudo nautilus though be very careful and immediately shut it when done [02:16] Can someone please help me with google earth tiny fonts problem? I tried adjusting GuiFontSize in the config file to no avail [02:17] soreau: what version of google earth are you using? [02:18] KM0201: How can I check with all the fonts unreadable? [02:18] bazhang: it's gone 2am, I think doing that would be unwise. I'm using mv to push them into a different folder so I nstill have them just in case [02:18] tajasel, its the fix. and it works without question. [02:19] KM0201: I installed the latest stable from the google site a couple months back [02:19] How can one find the version of an installed application? [02:19] soreau: hmm.. [02:19] tajasel, how you go about it is entirely up to you. [02:19] KM0201: on natty [02:19] I don't recall having this problem in previous version of ubuntu [02:19] hi [02:19] soreau: open synaptic and search google earth in synaptic, and see what version it shows. [02:19] hi [02:19] I am a new comer~ [02:19] cuz i'm using 6.0, and it's flawless [02:20] lei_, ubuntu support question? [02:20] welcome [02:21] bazhang can you help me with my boot problem? [02:21] KM0201: 6.0.3.2197+0.6.0-1 0 [02:21] soreau: same one i have. [02:21] jeffmr, ask the channel, if someone knows they will help [02:21] :/ [02:21] I asked [02:22] Is there anyone who know about KVM or use it on Ubuntu? [02:22] !anyone > lei_ [02:22] lei_, please see my private message [02:22] Well this really sucks :( [02:22] jeffmr, never used a mac to make one of those, sorry; not sure how to use that (unetbootin ) with macs [02:22] !kvm > lei_ [02:22] coz_, I think the tutorial is outdated cus #3 tells me to click on alsa link to find model number for my card by drop down box but when I get there, there is no drop down box at all [02:23] lei_, whats the real question. please be very clear [02:23] lei_, do you mean Kernel Virtual Machine or Keyboard Video Mouse? [02:23] oh,sorry... This is my first use of IRC [02:23] lei_, the more details the better [02:24] KM0201: Try to adjust qtconfig now.. [02:24] ok [02:25] cryoniccore: you mean alsamixer in a terminal [02:25] bazhang: sorry, connection dropped. am going through and moving the offendingfiles elsewhere on my system, instead of simply deleting them, so if I need them gain I still have them. I'm assuming moving them away from where the package manager will find them will stop it getting upset? [02:26] does this command look right for writing, dd if=ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m [02:26] tajasel, only way to know is to try. it worked for those others coming here with the exact same issue, and for myself. [02:26] PATH is set in my ~/.profile. Is there a way to set it for all users' .profiles ? [02:26] bazhang: ok, I'll keep going... have now moved at least 16 offending files. [02:26] or at least, for all users? [02:27] KM0201: yep, had to set the point size to *way* higher in qtconfig [02:28] #kvm [02:28] I have a dual monitor setup, and when I make a window on the larger monitor too large to fit on the smaller monitor, the window goes white. === josh__ is now known as joshlegs [02:29] sup all [02:29] soreau: well, glad you got it working (weird though, i didn't have to do anything like that) [02:29] so, question: how do i access windows files through ubuntu? [02:30] joshlegs, you should be able to mount the drive normally. [02:30] KM0201: But now all street names are nearly black, unreadable :/ [02:30] maybe it's driver issue [02:30] hm. under places i can see some windows stuff, but i have some papers saved on my desktop [02:30] soreau: thats strange... [02:30] that when i click on desktop under the 298GB file system, i dont see files, just program names [02:31] ... [02:31] nevermind [02:31] i [02:31] is [02:31] an [02:31] joshlegs: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:31] idiot [02:31] joshlegs, file share? or just access them ie mount the drive via fstab [02:31] KM0201: yea, but I got the directions I needed. Think I can remember without street names :) [02:31] oops. can i talk in here again? [02:31] yea [02:31] soreau: lol, there's always google maps.. :) [02:31] whoops lol.

[02:34] bazhang: sorry, many* and estimate* [02:34] tajasel, pardon? [02:35] tajasel, I personally had somewhere in the low double digits, others , did not ask them. === tomcheng86 is now known as tomcheng76 [02:35] bazhang: [02:36] bazhang: righto.:/ I just hit 27 deleted in the last few mins, everal deleted before your advice as well. [02:39] bazhang: you suggested something earlier, would tht make this process fastr? [02:41] tajasel, gksudo nautilus on the relevant directory, the html files stand out very clearly in the browser, and you can delete/move them or whatever at a single stroke. be very careful when using it though, and close it immediately thereafter. [02:42] ok [02:42] bazhang: ok [02:43] i'm new at this just trying to figure it out === semitones_ is now known as semitones [02:44] bazhang: well, update manager is now updating.

[03:34] yea [03:34] n-iCe: generally the power should be automatically determined by the card, and if it has to send with too much power that means your base station is farther away [03:34] Henryk: why?

(like the bit rate, which you usually also don't set) [03:35] n-iCe: You might consider "iwconfig ethX power off" for better wlan stability.

[04:27] video calls are important :( [04:28] bin_bash: use your favorite package manager to see which grub* package you have installed. grub-pc means BIOS, the other names should be self-explanatory. they can't be installed simultaneously, so there should only be one.

Unfortunately, I get "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium contai [04:45] ning a live file system" and I get dropped into the Ubuntu minimilist shell (after the BackTrack 5 splash is displayed for about 30 seconds). Here is my grub config file. http://pastebin.com/5wqyZKpL [04:46] Jon--: If you know it's not supported, why are you asking for support with it? [04:46] Dr_Willis the icon is there but it wont open?

[04:46] tertl3: run it from te3rminal [04:46] h1gh, which argument do you have to use with -newer? [04:46] rww, I already run ubuntu as my main OS, hence why this is going on a USB. I have ran Ubuntu for about 4 years now. [04:47] * rww sighs [04:47] i dont see much need for bt. they seem ot have a lot of issues [04:47] Dr_Willis 'nvidia-settings' is currently not installed [04:47] Jon--: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu and officially supported derivatives.

[04:47] mman: with -newer you would use a filename you created with touch to the start date for your search [04:47] tertl3: odd. its part of the nvidia drivers package [04:48] rww, Very well, I'll continue hopelessly for another 4 hours then. [04:48] Dr_Willis could be my kernels since I have low lat kernel installed [04:48] gonna try something [04:48] tertl3: no idea on that. [04:48] h1gh, so i create a file with touch with date lets say 2011/1/1 and then use that file as my "reference point"? [04:49] i currently have opensuse installed. I wish to switch-over to ubuntu, and add more disk space too. So do I need to remove the grub i have right now?? [04:49] Dr_Willis_, I don't have my heart set on using an ISO, however I'm not sure how I could boot it without an ISO or doing serious formatting to the drive, which already works well for other things. I'll stop my discussion as this is off topic. If you'd like to assist, please PM me. [04:49] mman: right, like `touch -t 201101010000 test` then `find . -newer test` [04:49] saksham: install ubuntu it will install its own grub [04:49] hi [04:49] I get 500 error :( [04:49] ubuntu [04:49] users :3 [04:49] sync contacts with ubuntu is sux :( [04:50] but what about the grub currently installed? will it remain? [04:50] i have dual boot right no - win 7 and suse [04:50] only one grub on the mbr at a time saksham [04:50] pick an os to manage it. [04:51] h1gh, and then can i pipe it and cp it? like: find -newer test | cp * / [04:51] what kernel does 11.04 uses? [04:51] n-iCe: 2.6.38 [04:51] ubuntu shold be able to boot all 3 of those saksham [04:52] how often does ubuntu upgrades kernel rww? [04:52] is it necessary that grub resides in MBR? (I think i didn't install it in the MBR, while installing suse) How do I check it? [04:52] n-iCe: each new version of Ubuntu has a new kernel. Once a version is released, the kernel is not upgraded to new major versions, per our stable release updates policy. [04:53] Dr_Willis now nvidia-settings is working, but no Unity 3D still [04:53] mman: well if I wanted a copy, I would pipe to something like tar, but yes, that's the idea, maybe with xargs, and watch filenames with spaces in them [04:53] rww: you know any distro who uses always the lastest kernel? does it exists? [04:53] n-iCe: so 11.04 has 2.6.38, 10.10 has 2.6.35, 10.04 has 2.6.32, etc., and they will always have those kernel versions. [04:54] n-iCe: try asking ##linux, we stick to Ubuntu in here :) [04:54] h1gh, i searched for xargs but didnt understand what is it for [04:54] n-iCe: source based distros are focused on the latest stuff nooormally [04:55] ubuntu focuses on stable [04:55] Dr_Willis_: source based? [04:55] n-iCe: choose a rolling-release like Arch, or build your own with Gentoo [04:55] hi everyone [04:55] n-iCe: gentoo, lfs, others [04:55] hello [04:56] Asslamualaikum [04:56] mman: xargs takes input from the pipe as more arguments [04:57] h1gh, but lets say how could i use xargs for my filtering and then copyng? [04:57] any info around to install ati drivers? [04:57] i have a X1300 [04:58] help me install driver wifi in backtrack 4 [04:58] Dr_Willis robin0800 bazhang, Unity 3D is just labeled "Ubuntu" [04:58] ozprogs: what kind of wifi card do you have? [04:59] tertl3: its the default so yes.. its called ubuntu [04:59] intel [04:59] Dr_Willis, I was looking for "Unity 3D" my mistake :) [05:00] mman: it would not work so well with cp, so that's why I would make a tarball first, for example [05:00] h1gh, :S [05:01] ozprogs: what's the output of 'lspci | grep -i network' ? [05:01] i just saw some guy post that this swap is 27gb and has 8gb of ddr2.... itsnt that really REALLY HIGH ? [05:01] ugly_duck: catalyst is not available for that card for years anymore... [05:02] html-inprogress: unusual i would say [05:02] how do I make output from a command scrollable? [05:02] at the CL [05:02] WHY WOULD YOU NEED SUCH A THING [05:02] cypha: use more [05:02] dr_willis, where? [05:02] dr_willis_, where? [05:03] ls -l | more [05:03] bash basics [05:03] cypha: yourcommandhere | more [05:03] html-inprogress: Thats actually not bad. Your swap should be at least twice as much as your RAM [05:03] isn't working [05:03] your doint it wrong then ;) [05:03] html-inprogress: My swap file is 16Gigs [05:03] it's a python traceback [05:03] whates the exact command you are using [05:04] cypha: try 'less' instead of 'more' [05:04] paster serve setup.ini [05:04] maybe you need to redirect stderr to stdout? [05:04] html-inprogress: My swap file is 16 Gigs for 8gigs of Ram. but 22 isn't outrageous. [05:04] less doesn't do anything either [05:05] well, it at least put me in the screen for "less" where the bottom left shows "end" but still, I can't scroll up and down [05:05] :( who have installed live messenger with wine? [05:05] mman: like `find . -mtime -1 | xargs tar -cvzf temp.tgz` and than extract the tarball where you want to copy to go [05:05] !appdb | alexleon [05:05] alexleon: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [05:06] !swap [05:06] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [05:06] ParadigmUltra, html-inprogress i personally think 2x RAM in modern systems is probably overkill. In order to use Hybernate swap must be "slightly" large then physical. But a 16GB swap is almost certainly to underused, and thus a waste of HD space. [05:06] so scrollable how? [05:06] h1gh, ill use that if i dont find the answer for copy! ill tell you if i found it ;) thanks for the help :D [05:07] ubottu how u make videocalls between live messenger nd empathy? [05:07] alexleon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:07] cypha: maybe direct output to text file? 'paster serve setup.ini > somefile.txt; [05:07] mman: ok [05:07] ugh [05:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwMvMKs2pEc&feature=feedrec_grec_index HERE IS THE LINK [05:07] can a human answer me please? [05:07] buddha_, can I take the output and put it in the GPM clipboard? [05:07] (i'm on ubuntu server) [05:08] maybe [05:08] alexleon, skype? [05:08] sorry Im not sure === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:08] I have a solid state hard drive so I use a swap FILE instead of a partition, because constantly writing memory to one area of my drive will kill my drive's life. A file will get written wherever there is free space anywhere on the drive. It's also easy to resize if I need to. [05:08] alexleon: not all im video features are supported. [05:08] SOOO what do i need it for ? if i do make it bigger? [05:08] i need it working witn live messenger [05:08] buddha_, that didn't work [05:09] it only output the last line [05:09] hmm [05:09] I have hear from people that if you have lots of memory 8-16 gigs, you probably don't need swap. But I like to keep things the way that I know it has worked for years. [05:09] !im [05:09] The Instant Messenger client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [05:10] cypha: is there a specific thing you need from the output? because them you could pipe it through grep [05:10] video calls !!! [05:10] buddha_, I need to pastebin it [05:10] alexleon: no currenty msn client supports video call because microsoft doesn't fair play [05:10] currently* [05:10] microsoft sucks [05:11] so use an alternative [05:11] minimec: are there not open source drivers or something? [05:12] ParadigmUltra: With a modern SSD the hardware algorythm will never write constantly on the same area, even with a fix swap partition. [05:12] cypha: I'm kind of out of ideas, I don't work with servers so I don't really know my way around them. [05:12] wait what about a web live messenger :O [05:12] mm brb [05:12] bazhang: The 10.11 upgrade to 11.04 still has 4 minutes to go and remains at the same statement. [05:12] alexleon: or google talk.. or meebo.com [05:12] buddha_, this did it: paster serve setup.ini 1>&2 2> output.txt [05:12] nice! [05:13] ugly_duck: there is only the radeon driver. You would have two possibilities for 3D acceleration... Gallium3D (default on 11.04) or old mesa 3D. [05:13] minimec: That's good to know. Still may as well not take the chance. Some times those algorythms have questionable effectiveness [05:14] minimec: thanks [05:15] Hello everyone, I am trying to get some help configuring grub2.

[05:21] 2 [05:22] so everyone why would you need a lot of swap space ? more then the stock [05:22] MikuChi: do you have a support question¿ [05:22] cypha: I think grep has something like that but idk. google it, i know i've looked it up before. [05:23] k [05:24] I'm trying to copy the contents of a CD to a folder, and the "sudo cp ..." command keeps ommiting files. What can I do to make sure it doesn't omit anything? [05:24] ParadigmUltra, so how do you do that swap file thing? [05:25] stercor: if by dog you mean computer then reinstall away.

XP? [05:40] I just updated my ubuntu distro and now i cannot drag windows to other desktops, like it would automatically change to a different desktop if i dragged the window to it. does anyone know how to change this back? [05:40] XP SP3 [05:41] fosco99997, that drag window is only an option with compiz enabled. Is compiz enabled? [05:41] Zykotick9, yes it is enabled.

[05:41] could I benefit my laptop power usage by upgrading?

[05:44] Austin_: oh, ok, just trying to picture to situation. you said you have burned a CD and a USB. I assume you have tried both of them?

[05:49] buddha_: no I have not as I'm running a laptop and that would cause my computer to have nothing to run off of [05:49] ZykoticK9, i got it thanks to your link, thank you [05:49] Austin_: have you considered just installing like a normal person, and partitioning your internal drive and setting up a dual boot?

I would like to ask for your help. I need some assistance regarding installation issues. I have a stable installation of Ubuntu 10.04. I wished to upgrade to 11.04 and the easiest way seemed to be installing them "side by side." Well, I did. No matter how careful I thought I was with the password, I couldn't get into 11.04. I went to try to install over it and the only option the Ubuntu installer gave me was to wipe out [05:20] everything. No way. Well, I installed a third copy of 11.04, which works. (I'm not in it right now. I have a wireless router driver issue to fix, but that's not the point.) The point is that I've got three copies of Ubuntu installed and three file systems. I only want two of them, and the installer didn't automatically pull in my previous files and such. Could you please (a) help me remove one of these excess 11.04 installations and (b) see [05:20] can pull my previous data into 11.04? [05:20] dzeremis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:21] hello [05:21] jesse_, hello there. [05:21] anyone using Ubuntu here..!! [05:21] Hello [05:21] hi [05:21] jesse_, of course. [05:21] Nope we are all mac users [05:22] dzeremis: that was amazing [05:22] Har har. [05:22] KM0201: How so? [05:22] dzeremis: your best bet, is to back up any important data on the "good" 11.04 partition [05:23] delete them both, and install 11.04 again [05:23] hello gryllida [05:23] are you there.? [05:23] Gryllida, i think so ,, about making a cloud [05:23] jesse_, hi, I'm here [05:23] KM0201: Okay. Thanks for your advice so far. I need some help deleting them. I simply don't know how. Could you tell me? [05:23] jesse_, please ask the channel, what's your issue? [05:23] Has someone experience with Ubuntu on a Lenovo Thinkpad ? (in my case a T61) [05:23] dzeremis: wel, first, do you need to back anything up on those partitions? [05:23] jesse_, the channel knows it way better than me, just ask in here. [05:24] KM0201: As of right now, I have nothing invested in either of these 11.04 partitions. I just need to be sure I identify which one is my 10.04 partition. [05:24] html-inprogress, hold on please. [05:24] see im trying to install an Opensource library management software KOHA on my UBUNTU [05:24] ok [05:24] J0E: what are exactly your questions, its unlikely you're gonna find someone w/ a t61 tonight. [05:24] can anybody help in this regard,...?? [05:24] dzeremis: ok. [05:24] jesse_, stand by please. I'll be searching soon. === redhat is now known as Guest90718 [05:24] and i take i you can't tell which is which, by looking at the partitions, right? (ie, the sizes) [05:25] thanks [05:25] KM0201: I just want to be sure I don't delete everything by accident in the installer. [05:25] dzeremis: ok... open up gparted... if youre in 11.04 and have unity, search for gparted, and open it... if you're using gnome classic, system/admin/partition editor [05:26] 有人吗 [05:26] KM0201: Um... Well, to be honest, no, not based on the sizes alone. If you give me a minute, I can pick out the size of the 10.04 partition. That's a start. [05:26] KM0201: ... Okay, just a moment. [05:26] yimfos, China? [05:26] dzeremis: ok... figure out which is 10.04 first. (and double check and triple check thats it) [05:26] 有人就说话 [05:26] KM0201: I dont want to waste days to find out that it does not work on a Thinkpad or its not worth it as it does not support it well enough. So my question is can I get help from the Ubuntu community for it or not. [05:26] jesse_, they didn't package it, you will need to compile; please download it from http://www.koha.org/liblime-koha-42 and try to find a README file in the archive. [05:27] I'm having trouble with a LiveUSB & a Symantec touchpad [05:27] !zh | yimfos [05:27] yimfos: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn /join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk [05:27] KM0201: I am in 10.04. My laptop's native wireless router needs some minor driver tweaking to work in 11.04, so I can't do anything useful in them right away. Looking for partition info... Will be back in a moment. Thanks for waiting patiently. [05:27] J0E: 1. it's between midnight and 2am in most of the US.. the odds of someone being on right now, that has that can answer a specific question about a specific laptop, is very very unlikely... .my suggestion, would be to download a live cd/usb, boot it, and try it.. if there's a problem, ask questions about the problem [05:27] html-inprogress, can you plese describe, what exactly do you want to host? [05:27] dzeremis: you mean wireless driver? [05:27] is there any way to know whether installing Ubuntu and running apt-get upgrade will help? [05:28] timClicks, please describe your issue in one line. [05:28] timClicks: apt-get upgrade, will bring your install current.. what problem are you having? [05:28] I'm having trouble with a LiveUSB & a Symantec touchpad on a new laptop. It's extremely jerky. [05:29] is there any way to know whether installing Ubuntu and running apt-get upgrade will help? [05:29] KM0201: OK makes sense, I'm living on an Island in the Indian Ocean, so here its 10 am. Ok will try this Live cd/usb boot . Thx [05:29] timClicks: what version of ubuntu do you have now? [05:29] timClicks, what OS you currently using, what hardware, what do you mean by 'jerky'? [05:30] KM0201: 10.04 [05:30] off_, [05:30] Gryllida: a HP Pavilion dm1 [05:30] Gryllida: by jerky, the cursor will jump accross the screen in a seemingly random fashion [05:31] KM0201: Still here, working on it. [05:31] dzeremis: thats fine, i'll be here for a little bit.. not going anywhere [05:32] KM0201: Thanks very much for sticking around and sticking with me. [05:32] timClicks: stupid question no other parts of your hand is touching it? [05:32] Mendax: lol [05:32] Mendax: No. That's a good question. I've also cleaned the touchpad a few times just in case [05:34] :) all what u have to do is ctrl + alt + f1 [05:34] Hi guys, just installed gnome 3 and don't find any appearance settings anywhere, where do I look? [05:35] nomego: 1) GNOME 3 is not officially supported by any released Ubuntu version, and is thus not supported in this channel. 2) click your name and then click the settings-related option, and also install gnome-tweak-tool [05:35] timClicks, does it happen with another OS? [05:35] rww, thank you [05:36] Gryllida: No. Windows 7 works flawlessly. [05:36] rww, so where would I turn for information about gnome 3 in ubuntu by gnome3-team ? [05:36] KM0201: I've (installed and) opened Gparted. It looks like /dev/sda1 (65G of a 120G HD) is my Ubuntu 10.04 partition. Everything else (there are a bunch) looks like it's under /dev/sda2, Extended. [05:36] timClicks: See this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1739152 [05:36] nomego: nowhere, that PPA isn't supported [05:36] Gryllida, like ubuntu one/drox box .... for myself, or for the commuinty to use ,,, if i can get it running get enough [05:36] jhansonxi: ty [05:36] :( i think im going back to windows [05:37] KM0201: How can I make absolutely certain of which partition houses my 10.04 data? It would be the partition I am currently using. I'm just not sure how to verify, to make absolutely sure. Ideas? [05:37] html-inprogress, so, file sharing; I'll search on that if I can. [05:37] dzeremis: hang on [05:37] dzremis: I use gparted to check [05:37] KM0201: Okay. [05:37] quaisi: the problem is, he's got 3 different ubuntu installs, so he's not sure which is which. [05:37] quaisi: I am in Gparted but don't know the program very well. Could you tell me how you would check? [05:38] dzeremis: if you can't unmount it in gparted its your current partition [05:38] ah ok i got in there late it seems :) [05:38] quaisi: yeah. [05:38] right-click and select unmount [05:38] well, thats a good point... if he's on his current partition, he won't be able to unmoun tit [05:38] can i set up a wi fi printer with ubuntu? [05:38] yup [05:38] KM0201 and quaisi: Thank you both. :-) It looks like what it may have done is saw the size of the partition in half. There are multiple sub-partitions under /dev/sda2. [05:39] alexleon: what kind of printer? [05:39] whats the channel for ubuntu off topic chat [05:39] oscalation: #ubuntu-offtopic [05:39] rww, thanks [05:39] dzeremis: ok... can you unmount sda1..? [05:39] or do you get an error? [05:40] Dang, this is messed up. My virtual win7 is blue screening me :-( [05:40] samsung clx-318fw color all in one [05:40] ParadigmUltra: lol, there's something that makes me laugh about that. (but its happened to me w/ XP before) [05:40] KM0201: I've been using Ubuntu for a while without delving into the code of it. I'm not computer-ignorant, but I don't know how to do that properly. Should I do it in command line? [05:41] KM0201: Or in Gparted? [05:41] dzeremis: no.. you're on 10.04 now, right? [05:41] html-inprogress, I think you could just install an ftp server for that if you really want to host (just sharing via obuntuone/dropbox is much easirt though); to see how to install ftp, search 'ftp' in software center; I'm not sure, maybe channel comes up with better ideas. [05:41] KM0201: Yes, I am. I am in 10.04 with both root command line and Gparted open. [05:41] Does anyone here who uses openshot know how to turn off the annoying white outline on the title? [05:41] dzeremis: ok... what is sda1.. is it ext4?.. whats the mount point [05:42] Gryllida, not just that , like you can use it with xchat [05:42] lol, I'm going to have to chkdsk my virtual drive. heh [05:42] lol [05:42] KM0201: It is ext4. THe mount point is /. Before attempting to install 11.04, I only had one main partition for 10.04. [05:42] dzeremis: ok.. try to unmount that partition, and see if you get an error that it cannot be unmounted [05:42] html-inprogress, use what with xchat? [05:43] KM0201: I am guessing to go ahead and try unmounting in Gparted? [05:43] alexleon: it seems it is possible. Try this link http://foo2qpdl.rkkda.com/ [05:43] Gryllida, so how do you make a cloud ? [05:43] dzeremis: yes, right click sda1, and choose unmount [05:43] see if you get an error. [05:43] KM0201: Will do. One moment, please. [05:43] (i'm assuming you don't have programs/files open on the other partitions at the moment. [05:44] KM0201: No, everything else is closed down as far as I know. I can see the partitions from within 10.04, but I don't think there's a thing active on them. [05:44] KM0201: It would not let me unmount /dev/sda1. [05:44] ok.. [05:44] html-inprogress, sorry, I don't see what you want; please ask the channel (not me) and describe your purpose. [05:44] then thats very likely your 10.04 partition... you have a swap partition? [05:45] pff i dont understand i need step by step :D is it hard? [05:45] has anyone else been having major issues with facebook lately? im on 10.04, using both chrome and firefox, and it hasnt worked for me in months. its really starting to piss me off [05:45] fizyplankton, what's the problem? [05:45] KM0201: Naturally, there should be a swap partition. When installing, unsure how to go about it, I just let the installer pick out how to reconfigure the partitions, aware that I did not want to delete my original partition. (...) [05:46] dzeremis: ok.. this machine doesn't have windows on it does it? [05:46] since sda1 is / i'm guessing windows isn't on this machine [05:46] Gryllida: since i hate my old account (long story), i was trying to create a new one. but when i hit submit, nothing happens. when i log into my old account, the home page loads, but nothing else loads [05:47] KM0201: (I'll be telling you about the swap partition momentarily.) No, this machine is Windows-free, except that I have Vista installed on this partition under Oracle VM VirtualBox. I don't suffer Windows to have that kind of status on my machine. :-) [05:47] fizyplankton, what happens when it 'doesnt load'/ [05:47] ? [05:47] alexleon: that link is a little old, here's one that's about 6 months newer: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-453362.html [05:48] Gryllida: the 3 little bars next to the sign up button start flashine (but that doesnt mean anything. its just a .gif animation). then nothing else at all happns [05:48] Does anyone here who uses openshot know how to turn off the annoying white outline on the title? [05:48] dzeremis: ok... and i just wanna verify what you've told me so far.. you have 10.04, and two, 11.04 installs, and you want the 11.04 installs, basically deleted, so you can make 1... and you have a current cd.. right? [05:48] curreint 11.04 cd, that is [05:48] KM0201: Naturally, there is a swap partition. I'm not sure how the partition groundwork was laid before, but currently the swap partition is under /dev/sda2 (extended, mount point unspecified). That is to say, the swap is at /dev/sda5 (linux-swap, mount point unspecified), under /dev/sda2. [05:48] buddha thank u [05:49] no problemo [05:49] dzeremis: ok, so if you delete that extended partition, it's gonna delete all that crap, right? [05:49] KM0201: I have 10.04 and two 11.04 installs. Each of the three appears to have its own partition. I want to delete the 11.04 installs and then reinstall one. I would prefer to keep my 10.04 data and integrate in into 11.04, and I have the current 11.04 install CD handy. [05:50] KM0201: Yes, I believe that is so, except I wonder what to do about the swap partition. But indeed, that partition is just crap! [05:50] buddha u know if there is any problem with video calls with skype from windows to ubuntu?? [05:50] dzeremis: we'll create a new swap w/ the 11.04 installer [05:50] just delete the whole extended partition. [05:51] Okay, that sounds fine. My 10.04, with which I am talking to you, will keep functioning once I delete the partition? [05:51] alexleon: no idea I don't use skype. try it out [05:51] KM0201: I ask because I see no other swap partition. [05:51] dzeremis: thats fine, like i said, we'll deal w/ it when we install 11.04 [05:52] k buddha === type0 is now known as type00 [05:52] alexleon: some video cameras do not work well w/ skype... i don't have a camera, but my audio works pretty good. [05:52] Okay. I just want to let you know that I don't really have a way to talk to you during the 11.04 installation, except perhaps if we get my Android phone onto Freenode. Just a moment while I delete the wacky partition. [05:53] dzeremis: ok, then i would try to get here w/ your android, or if you want, you can IM me on AIM or MSN [05:53] KM0201: Interestingly, Gparted doesn't give me the option to kill the /dev/sda2, or its underlying partitions. [05:53] swapoff [05:53] dzeremis: try expanding the sda2... and kill the partitions one at a time. [05:53] km0201 empathy also make audio calls with live messenger but video calls doesnt work :(. [05:54] alexleon: well, empathy also sucks.. so.. [05:54] it's a tradeoff [05:54] KM0201: Both sound good. What program would you recommend for Android? If you could give me AIM as a back-up, that would also be helpful. [05:54] i need video calls working then i can keep ubuntu [05:54] dzeremis: if you are using the partition, like if it is your currently booted os, then gparted cant edit them [05:54] My system has been freezing a lot since I installed ubuntu, is there anything I can do when my cursor stops and my computer is unresponsive besides holding down the power button? [05:54] dzeremis: i'm about to PM you my AIM handle... [05:55] dzeremis: i'm not familiar w/ droids, so i can't help you on a droid irc client.. i just PMd you my AIM name [05:55] * dzeremis will be right back. [05:55] Thanks to all of you for your help so far. [05:56] i'm using ubuntu 10.10. how do i know if the application running on my machine. [05:56] dzeremis: androirc is a good free irc client. you have to use wifi tho. vzw (not sure about others) blocks irc thru 3g [05:56] alexleon: have you tried installing skype, and seeing if video works? [05:57] i'm using ubuntu10.10. how to check if the specific application running on my machine [05:57] km0201 no ill do it tomorrow im going to sleep [05:57] lol, ok [05:57] mynotes: what specific application? [05:57] bye ppl [05:57] cya [05:58] KM0201: ruby [05:58] km0201 ill tell u what happens if i see u here :) [05:58] byez [05:58] mynotes: top should show if its running... [05:58] alexleon: ok, good luck [05:58] mynotes: just open a terminal and type "top" and hit enter, no quotes [05:58] i2iot i'm not sure but i had same problem from a usb stick so i went to local bookstore and bought a couple of linux magazines that had linux installs on disk ran it from disk so i'm thinking might be the install maybe need to make a newer better copy but not sure? [05:58] or ps aux | grep ruby [05:59] ^ that to. [05:59] buddha_:thanks how to stop the application ? [05:59] i see that ruby is running [06:00] if you want hard kill 'killall ruby' [06:00] kill kill kill... what makes the grass grow.. blood blood blood.. :) [06:00] i alwasy think of that when people talk about "killall" [06:01] mynotes: otherwise, get the PID and do 'kill -9 yourPIDhere' [06:01] * dzeremis is back on the computer. [06:02] buddha_: how to get PID [06:03] mynotes: it should be a four number ID from the 'ps aux | grep ruby' info [06:04] buddha_: thanks I got it [06:04] dang linux magazines cost me almost $17.00 and $20.00 wow [06:05] sd: you actually pay for those? [06:05] cool beans [06:05] yep [06:05] linux user and linux format [06:06] those are the names of the current magazines [06:06] you don't buy linux magazines [06:06] i know but i wanted these issues for some reason [06:06] you put them inside the cover of a Steal This Book and run out of the store laughing. [06:07] .. hmm, i wasn't advocating stealing either. [06:07] lol [06:07] right.....lol [06:08] hey, who was just talking about blood feeding the grass [06:08] * dzeremis is in the middle of intense efforts and will be away from the channel for a bit. Thanks for the support and talk to you soon. I appreciate every bit of help. [06:09] buddha_: thats a line from a movie..lol [06:09] I know I'm just gvin you shit [06:09] lol [06:10] how to debootstrap a whole ubuntu server install ? [06:18] anybody need any help? [06:19] o/ [06:20] I just fubard my Arch partition trying to install Zenix. anyone got suggestions for a new distro? [06:22] buddha_, try fedora. [06:23] aarcane: should have mentioned I have an old (7 years) laptop. so no Gnome3 or Unity 3D for me. [06:24] buddha_, O [06:24] yeah, im thinking CRUX or gentoo [06:24] buddha_, I'm just being facetious. you nuked Arch for Zenix, and asked #ubuntu for ideas, so I suggested another non-sequiter distro for you. [06:25] buddha_: how much ram does that system have? [06:25] 1.5GB with room for 2! [06:25] buddha_: http://www.lubuntu.net if you like ubuntu, but just hate unity/gnome 3 you won't regret it. [06:25] it's awesome [06:26] I'd love a nice gnome-3 based distro, but ubuntu switched to unity, and it sucks. [06:26] I'm experiencing glitched/choppy sound in 11.04. Is this a known problem? it fixes when I reboot [06:26] aarcane: yeah, true on both posts [06:26] aarcane: opensuse and fedora, to my knowledge, are the only gnome 3 distros right now. [06:26] arch too [06:26] yea, but arch is... arch [06:26] hey all [06:26] hey there [06:26] 'restarting' sshd doesn't seem to do anything; how can I tell sshd to drop all connections? [06:27] oh and i like openSuSe [06:27] how do i change the webcam settings on ubuntu? [06:27] KM0201, yes, arch is awsome, but it lacks some basic common sense niceties of apt, so I had to give it up after having to recursively list an entire directory to not have it nuke my configs... [06:27] buhman, kill -9 ? [06:27] aarcane: lol [06:27] aarcane: the question is which process(s) ? [06:27] buhman, but be careful... [06:27] buhman: whhy dont you ssh into the machine then restart sshd? [06:28] And see if you ssh connection dies [06:28] kylemcgill: I tried that; it doesn't [06:28] also you can netstat then grep port 22 [06:28] cant think of the netstat flag that you will need though sorry [06:29] if you want to find out who is still on the machine type who [06:29] or "w" [06:29] buhman, it doesn't close existing sessions for a reason. if it did, you could almost never restart SSHD, because when you do, you'd get disconnected, and the command to restart sshd would never run from the init script. you want new sessions to occur in their own time. trust the TENS OF YEARS of experience that went into making that decision. [06:29] hi guys! [06:29] Peddy: what's the deal now? [06:30] buddha_, what do you mean? [06:30] aarcane: +1 [06:30] I'm new to ubuntu and just installed xampp using this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=cc9b01005f7f7f99a2189c48f3346ee3&t=223410 [06:30] Excuse me. [06:30] I guess I should have been more specific; I was also doing reverse port-forwarding, and now those ports still seem to be bound and I can't bind anything else to them [06:31] Do you know how to roll back a rogue or crashing apt-get update to a prior version? [06:31] And there's lots of ssh's running, but w only shows my login [06:31] so you said that you get glitchy sound, is there an obvious reason for this that you can see, like is there one specific action that you do? [06:31] sshd's [06:31] http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9053/ [06:31] 1 other thing i noticied when installing 11.04 is that it would be easy to skip through the install when getting to the timezone you can still click forward [06:32] buhman: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/killing-an-ssh-session-339440/ couple with who and you should be ok [06:32] buddha_, I think the problem arises randomly, or sometimes when I watch flash videos. It's hard to reproduce but goes away with a reboot. [06:32] buhman: why don't you kill all the sshd ? [06:32] buhman, so you want the netstat | grep, however, I don't remember the netstat flag either. try man netstat [06:32] hmm [06:32] wildbat: haha [06:32] wildbat, we've been through that. bad idea. [06:32] wildbat: umm how about no [06:32] buhman, if all else fails, sudo shutdown -r now; exit; will fix your problem. [06:33] sudo halt [06:33] aarcane: I'd rather not; I don't have physical access to this machine... [06:33] aarcane: easy physical access [06:33] Peddy: does it affect removable media ie DVDs or just internet content? [06:33] mcurran, again, halt is a bad idea. the -r makes it reboot automatically. [06:33] aarcane: why is that? [06:33] sudo reboot then [06:33] buddha_, all the sound that comes through my speakers, including DVDs and digital audio and flash video and movies [06:33] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/git_1%3a1.7.4.1-3~ppa1~lucid3_amd64.deb (--unpack): [06:34] aarcane: I would loose all access to that machine; terrible idea [06:34] wildbat, his own connection would be dropped, and no new sshds would spawn. [06:34] wildbat: ^ [06:34] anyway, goodnight. [06:34] aarcane: thanks [06:34] /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 12: dpkg-maintscript-helper: not found [06:34] yeah, unless you add a ssh init script for startup [06:34] is this also in ubuntu or its debian only ? [06:34] mcurran, that's why he wants shutdown -r now; [06:34] and have autostartup enabled so there is no login beforehand [06:34] i have ppa repos and this is probably bug [06:35] sir can i ask something? [06:35] mcurran: "autostartup"? [06:35] why ubuntu is no refresh? [06:35] aarcane: i think the upstart will respwn the sshd ~ [06:35] like for instance, not all distros have an automated login, so you would have to login and then do a startx [06:35] Peddy: that's weird. [06:35] wildbat, test it and let us know, I'm going to bed. [06:35] aarcane: tested [06:36] as long as you have startup already enabled with ubuntu or tty, you should be good [06:36] buddha, you should just kill all SSH sessions by pid [06:36] I'm not sure, but you probably could just issue a update-rc.d ssh defaults if there's already an item in init.d for ssh [06:37] if yours is killed then ssh back up and continue, that would be the short answer [06:37] mcurran: then again there's also the possibilty my bios battery would die when I reboot... that's happened before (I'm too lazy to buy a new one) [06:37] its not ideal, but it will work [06:37] yeah, that would be better [06:37] oh come on [06:37] CruX|: Yes, looks like the PPA package has a bug. PPA packages in general don't have official support, so please find the maintainers of the archive and ask for help there. [06:38] Peddy: looks like a known bug with a workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/778141 [06:38] Ubuntu bug 778141 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Pulseaudio makes choppy sound after some time" [Undecided,Incomplete] [06:38] bios firmware defaulting shouldn't effect any ssh startup scripts anyways [06:38] mcurran: I'm talking about rebooting the whole machine [06:38] why do you want to reboot anyways? [06:38] buhman: is the server not in a datacenter? [06:39] kylemcgill: not really [06:39] astraljava: thx [06:39] kylemcgill: it's in a room in another building that I don't have the key to [06:39] ahh i see [06:39] mcurran: I thought that was your suggestion [06:40] buddha_, was the workaround to restart pulseaudio? because I did that, and it hasn't changed anything [06:40] mcurran: err no you're the one that said halt... [06:40] lol [06:41] buhman: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/167/list-the-number-and-type-of-active-network-connections [06:41] this will help you to find ssh connections [06:41] active ones [06:43] kylemcgill: that doesn't work [06:43] Peddy: yeah that was the workaround. Are you sure your graphics card is beefy enough to provide Unity 3D and smooth audio? (just a stupid question to get it out of the way) [06:44] kylemcgill: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9054/ [06:44] kylemcgill: I'm still a little puzzled on which sshd's go where [06:44] kylemcgill: should I be killing the not "connected" ones? [06:44] kylemcgill: I know I don't have that many active connections... [06:45] buhman: are you logged in as zack? [06:45] kylemcgill: yes [06:45] buhman: does anyone else login as zack? [06:45] kylemcgill: I do [06:45] kylemcgill: multiple connections from multiple machines [06:45] kylemcgill: some of those are just reverse-port forwards [06:46] buhman: ok so we assume that no other connections are made by others apart from webserver calls then [06:46] buddha_, yeah, definitely. Even when I disable unity, it doesn't work. Funnily enough, it starts working even after I suspend (sleep) then resume the machine [06:46] buhman: you would be the only one on the machine, and you wish to kill all other ssh connections logged in under zack, would that be correct? [06:47] kylemcgill: yeah, I don't care about the legitimate connections; they can be killed too [06:47] holaaaaaaaaaa [06:47] This will log you out but you can log back in and it doesnt effect sshd if it is running under root [06:48] kylemcgill: basically if we could somehow kill every sshd except for the one that I'm currently using... [06:48] pkill -u `whoami` [06:48] oh [06:48] i [06:48] i have a question [06:48] Peddy: that's a strange one. [06:48] kylemcgill: I remember doing pkill -u "root" once... not a good idea :) [06:48] netdemon: fire away [06:48] hi [06:48] Hey everyone! I am just switching from Ubuntu to mac and I am copying my files over to an external hardrive and gnome has frozen during the file copy. I can still get into the virtual terminals and all that but I don't know how to tell if the file copy finished or not. === wicked is now known as xmaz === gdance is now known as fuzzybunny69y [06:49] buhman: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/disconnect-idle-ssh-sessions-596009/ [06:49] well i cant speak very well english but i will try it [06:49] assuming they are inactive [06:49] go for it [06:49] does anyone know what I could do to get it to resume [06:49] gdance: 'jobs -l' give you anything? [06:49] there was only 13 minutes left in the copy [06:50] look....i have installed ubuntu 10.10 and it work very very very good but when i install ubuntu 11.04 its a........well it never works.....i cant use compiz......and a lot of programs cant work [06:50] hmmm [06:50] fuzzybunny69y: what about you ps aux | grep cp [06:50] that jobs -l doesn't list anything [06:50] scroll = OFF [06:50] kylemcgill: that looks like a bad idea [06:50] damn. [06:50] i use ubuntu 10.04, i want to restrict access to usb drives and cd drives on the pc.. what should i do? [06:50] netdemon they have other ubuntu language channels if anyone can direct him right language channel i don't know what they all are [06:50] my scroll is failing on irssi [06:50] any ideas? [06:50] buhman: killing inactive sessions? [06:50] kylemcgill: I did the pkill -u but I don't think that exactly worked [06:51] pkill -u zack would be the full command [06:51] kylemcgill: of course ^ [06:51] hmmm [06:51] Peddy: sorry I can't help more. That seems well beyond the scope of my minimal knowledge. I assume it is a bug that has to be fixed [06:51] maybe I will just recopy it or something [06:51] Gnome is so annoying it keeps doing that [06:51] Can someone tell me what the application name for Sun JVM would be in apt-get? [06:51] it happens daily [06:52] my mouse still moves [06:52] but whenever I click on anything it doesn't respond [06:52] thunder1212 you only need to edit the users rigths you need to go to administration->group and users and you need to put the righs thah you want to have the users of your system [06:52] netdemon +1 [06:52] that's alright buddha_ thanks for your help! [06:53] happy to try [06:53] thanks anyway guys [06:53] fuzzybunny69y my mouse does that to but the laptop mouse pad near near the keyboard does not help [06:54] hmmm [06:54] doe s [06:54] yeah i dunno what is wrong with it [06:54] im just going to switch [06:54] and use ubuntu as a server [06:54] does anyone have some av in ubuntu? [06:54] kylemcgill: and my ices, application server, and current bash sessions, but the orphaned sshd's seem to still be lingering... [06:54] buhman: sorry i dont know of any other way to help without killing your own sessions, unless you were to somehow block all IP's apart from yours [06:54] the desktop stuff is too buggy and annoying [06:55] netdemon: if you want it there is clam av [06:55] Hi all, have any program/tool convert between .debian and .po file? Thanks. [06:55] kylemcgill: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9055/ [06:55] haux: If you're inclined to using apt-get, here's a good tip for the future: `apt-cache search `, but that would be sun-java6-jre in this case. [06:55] yes i know it....the reason its because a i came from windows and i cant forget the avs software je ej [06:56] kylemcgill: I thought root owned sshd... so that wouldn't really work I don't think [06:56] haux: Depending on your ubuntu release, of course. [06:56] cya guys [06:57] i love you all [06:57] so i go to users and groups > advance settings> user priviliges> ? then what options should i uncheck [06:57] astraljava, I don't really have a preference, but I appear to be having some difficulties installing it otherwise. I remember Ubuntu being so easy... I just installed the latest 11.x and am already running into problems. [06:57] astraljava, so I was looking for a more automated way to install it. [06:57] buhman: root does, however if you want to keep your current session open its not like you can pipe the username across, which is present in the netstat, so there has to be another flag to determine all running applications what streams they have, which is somewhat what we see in your pastie. However to find out which session you are currently holding is a little differcult unless a guru can help [06:58] thunder1212 then you go to advanced settings,you need to put the password of the system administrator and at las you go to rigths of users........ [06:58] haux: search Ubuntu Software Center for jre and then install the sun-java one. [06:58] To be honest i dont know the answer, however im really just throwing ideas in the air [06:58] buhman: ^^ [06:59] yes i did that, u mean user privileges? [06:59] haux: I don't know what you mean with automated install, but `sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre` should install it for you. If it doesn't, please pastebin the errors that you're running into, and we'll take it from there. [06:59] thunder1212 yes [07:00] buddha_, the only one listed in the software center is OpenJDK [07:00] ok then i uncheck access external storage device automatically [07:00] kylemcgill: oh, and most of these orphans are ssh -N 's [07:00] kylemcgill: so that's also why the pkill didn't work [07:00] thunder1212: yep [07:01] haux: you need to install ubuntu restricted extras so you put sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras then you need to put sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get install jre6&&sudo apt-get install jre6-plugin [07:01] ok its that simple, wOw ;) thnx bye.. [07:01] thunder1212: yes [07:01] astraljava, 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre' yields a "has no installation candidate" message. [07:01] is anyone having issues with the screensaver not unlocking in 11.04? [07:02] netdemon, I will try that. [07:02] haux: ok [07:02] haux: Right, you probably don't have partner repository enabled. [07:03] peddy:ubuntu 11.04 its not a stable ubuntu [07:03] it never works well [07:03] haux: Look into that in /etc/apt/sources.list, and uncomment the line[s], then `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre` [07:03] netdemon, 11.04 entered stable 2 months ago [07:03] netdemon: why not ? Im running 11.04 with no problems [07:04] i have some quirky things with 11.04 [07:04] Peddy: its got a lot of problems, and some people just have the right hardware or get lucky [07:04] I for one run it perfectly in a virtualbox [07:04] same here not problems with 11.04 but only after a proper install and proper video driver install [07:04] i think that the best vercion its 10.10 and my computers its only 9months old [07:05] hey guys have any body used paydollar payment gateway, i am planning to use it , i know this is not a question related to ubuntu, still i am using python so if you want to comment on this, it is appreciated , thanks [07:05] i am also a big fan of the 10.10 [07:06] buddha_: i didn't have to many problems w/ Unity, other than it was slow.. but i think thats cuz i've got a 1.7ghz Celeron and 1.5gig of ram... it worked, just much slower than gnome 2.x and when i tried Gnome 3.. same thing.. thats why i just decided it was time to embrace a change [07:06] there are always going to be people reporting problems in this channel, no matter the release. Using it to gauge problems with a release overall, for all users, is not accurate, because users will only come here with problems. [07:07] danslo1: i thought your name was "danslol" and i was expecting a really good story on something you did during install..lol [07:07] Peddy: this is the first time i've ever been on IRC. There are plenty of niggles in Natty. [07:07] after installing 11.04 without the video driver my computer booted in classic which is basically 10.10 [07:07] haux: soory the command line after install ubuntu restricted extras is: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [07:07] KM0201: home pc hijacks original nickname :( === danslo1 is now known as danslo [07:07] danslo: ah... [07:09] sd: unity requires 3D support... so if you don't have your 3D drivers installed, you can't use unity. [07:09] sd: did you install your graphics drivers? [07:09] KM0201: yeah I just can't run the unity. my hardware is too old. oh well, ratpoison it is. [07:09] yeah i did that's why im not in classic [07:10] sd:the best vercion i think its ubuntu classic.............. [07:10] buddha_: hup. [07:10] ok.. [07:10] the newest desktops like gnome 3 and unity are very heavy for the system [07:10] Ok, I uncommented two listings for "Canonical's 'partner' repository", updated, and tried sun-java6-jre again. This time it worked. Installing now. [07:11] haux:;) [07:11] it's cause they found a big in the kernel that unity is sucking up to much power [07:11] but they are going to fix that soon [07:11] confezzor:that error its resolved yet [07:11] and then maybe people can start donating to Phoronix for finding the regressions [07:11] do you want to telol you the solve [07:11] ? [07:12] ok cool..thanks for the heads up [07:12] weel the soplve of that error its this: [07:13] i heard 12.04 is gonna be way better than 10.10 and LTS something that i heard earlier in xchat [07:14] cause of waylane... [07:14] i know i'm spelling it wrong [07:14] Alright, so, how do I execute a .jar file? === ocs is now known as faLUCE [07:14] use java.. [07:14] confezzor here its the solve you only need to put this command at the boot time :pcie_aspm=force [07:14] java -jar foo.jar [07:15] Awesome, thanks. [07:15] oh ok sweet netdemon....good to know..i'm going to write that down now [07:15] yeah I herd 12.04 is gonna ship with 600 new desktop environments and will be able to program you to the moon and it has a squillion supported hardware setups. [07:16] lol [07:16] if you have an intel graphics card [07:16] have to wait and see i guess [07:16] well if you don't have intel i say you are WRONG lol [07:17] nope using amd athlon :( [07:17] buddha:when the newest vewrcion of linux linux3 como there will be a better support for intel graphics card [07:18] netdemon: I was referring to the fact that only Intel graphics cards support Unity out of the box ( I believe) [07:18] Well, I've got another unrelated question. It used to be, back in Ubuntu v9 and 10, that programs like Pidgin and X-Chat would have icons in the system tray. Now they don't... is there a way to re-enable this in 11.04? [07:18] yep [07:18] but [07:19] you have to install some application [07:19] and I don't know what it's called [07:19] so its possible [07:19] Hm [07:19] budda:that depends of the aplication [07:20] yeah but i've seen setups of unity to look like Gnome2 [07:20] its just that Unity doesn't have any serious configuration tools in vanilla natty. [07:21] Yeah, I am not liking unity very much right now... [07:21] Everything is so much more inconvenient.. [07:21] haux:if you want you can run ubuntu classic with compiz and you need to activate the plugin unity of compiz when you run ubuntu classical and that icons will return back at the system tray [07:21] buddha_: so if you don't have an intel graphics card, like i am using nVidia geforce 7000m laptop graphics card is reason i had to setup for the 3d unity? [07:22] sd: yep yep. I had to do it for VBox with nvidia-current, tried for Gnome3 on Fedora, gave up after many hours [07:23] i ate gnome 3 i love gnome 2.XX [07:23] hate [07:23] xD [07:23] k i'll remember that in the next ubuntu install [07:23] well i need to go out....good luck everybody [07:23] k [07:24] same here i'm tired night all [07:24] gnome 3 isn't that bad..natty is way worse [07:24] night [07:24] ill stay with lxde for now [07:25] i like gnome 3...but going to stick with gnome 2 for now unit natty and gnome 3 gets in like version 2 or 3 [07:25] yea [07:25] hi. what's the terminal commands to get firefox 5 [07:25] !ff5 [07:25] Firefox 5 is available in Natty/11.04 as an automatic update. If you would like to install it in an earlier release, you will need to use the following !PPA: http://pad.lv/ppa/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ [07:25] i think you can just down load it at the site [07:25] confezzor: I agree, just trying to get gnome3 with Fedora freedom craziness to work with nvidia is a hassle. [07:26] use the ppa [07:26] ubottu: I can't use natty because it's messing with my monitor [07:26] mecheese: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:26] well i'm not a big Fedora fan..to me Fedora is a baster child of linux..sorry to say buddha...but putting gnome 3 on top of unity works better [07:27] I installed chromium and want to install a chromium theme from a local file. How do I do that?? [07:27] Hi? [07:27] installing compiz now... [07:27] hey there [07:27] Delta_: drag n drop it into chrome [07:27] perhaps [07:28] ubottu: I'm only cheese. so you're in good company. [07:28] mecheese: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:28] lol [07:28] thebomb: do you have a question or problem? [07:29] can any one give me some terminal commands to install firefox 5 on lucid [07:30] the webupd8 site had some info on it mecheese [07:30] hello ppl, i have a problem with my ubuntu server :( on boot it's not auto starting the services apache2, webmin etc. i tried rcconf and it's not working [07:30] anybody knows a good tv tuner to use for mythbuntu..trying to use it on one of my laptops..just want to know if anyone knows what hardware should i use? [07:30] webmin can break things [07:31] !webmin [07:31] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [07:31] Dr_Willis: what webupd8 site? *confused* [07:31] mecheese: 'sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable' [07:31] without quotes [07:31] then [07:32] mecheese: eneter the name in a browser [07:32] ppa for firefox 5 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [07:32] buddha_, is dconf-editor the program you were thinking of? [07:32] oook, so how do i remove webmin from services autorun? because i cant, what file do i edit with nano or vi? [07:32] yea opps you beat me to the punch [07:32] mecheese: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [07:33] haux: maybe? sorry I don't use natty [07:33] Michael88_: how did you install webmin? [07:34] i added to source list and then with apt-get [07:34] remove it with aptget then [07:35] ok [07:35] and hope it did not break too much [07:35] thank you buddha [07:35] no problem [07:39] hey haux: maybe ccms is what you need? Unity does use Compiz after all. [07:41] passwords for linux are typically between null and 8 yeah? [07:41] alright peoples I got class in less than 6 hours. Knighty night. [07:41] night buddha [07:42] ugly_duck, may be even longer than that if you like. [07:42] Spacewalker, hi.

What is the easiest way to remove it [07:56] thx xmaz [07:56] royale1223: who is owner of the root-dir? the webserver user or group must have permissions [07:57] mjanp: like chown :webserver public_html?

[08:21] talking about in any account [08:21] i want to see how much space a folder is taking up [08:22] barnee: how would I do that with apt-get ? [08:22] Kingsy: You can test whether flash works at all @ http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [08:22] astraljava: hmm yeah, I get a successfully installed message.. and a version number [08:22] but youtube doesnt play [08:23] madmn: `du -hs ` will tell you how much a directory has eaten, `df -h` will tell you how much space left you got.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:37] Can someone help me understand package version numbers when it comes to PPAs? Let's say the official repos contain software-2.2.1. I create a PPA with a package based on software-2.2.1 (with just a slightly different build configuration). I call it software-2.2.1~ppa1 and I install it from my PPA. What happens if software-2.2.2 gets uploaded into the Ubuntu repos, and I don't make a new package in my PPA? [08:38] If I do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, does it install software-2.2.2 or does it leave it at software-2.2.1~ppa1 [08:39] nickmoeck, purge the ppa with ppa-purge in that case [08:39] nickmoeck: what's the point of using a PPA if it doesn't have a newer version than one of the standard repos? [08:39] hi, I downgraded php on my machine using this post (method 1) http://2bits.com/drupal-planet/various-ways-running-php-52-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx.html [08:39] !info ppa-purge | nickmoeck [08:39] nickmoeck: ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+bzr56 (natty), package size 4 kB, installed size 56 kB [08:39] and now I want to revirt it [08:39] can anyone help me please? [08:40] is there a posibilitie to downgrade thunderbird 5.0 to 3.1.10 [08:40] nickmoeck, as szal points out though, the PPA will have the newer version in most cases [08:40] bazhang: I'm talking about the edge case, where the PPA doesn't necessarily have the latest version, though. [08:40] glda19, why would you want to, and where did you get tbird 5.0 from [08:41] I forced the the latest packages but now when I call a php page it downloads instead of running the script [08:41] nickmoeck, not ever seen that happen, but if so then purge-ppa [08:41] nickmoeck: in that case my question applies [08:41] bazhang, i have problems with the new ligthning version 1.04b [08:41] glda19, please answer my question [08:42] bazhang, i answer your question [08:42] where did you get tbird 5.0 from <----- glda19 [08:43] hi [08:43] bazhang / szal: Let's say the PPA maintainer just hasn't gotten around to updating the PPA yet, but I want to keep the package from the PPA. Would I have to use apt-pinning to ensure that the package from the PPA is *always* the installed version? [08:43] bazhang, how can i see that [08:43] glda19, you dont know where you installed a 3rd party install from? === DantheMan is now known as LiquidGuide [08:44] nickmoeck, the ppa would take precedence, thus the need to purge if you did not want it any longer [08:44] hi [08:44] for some reason one of my machines will automatically raise full-screen windows when i move my mouse cursor over them (i have focus follows mouse). does anybody know how to switch that off? my other machines don't show this behavior [08:45] 这是我第一次用irc [08:45] bazhang: Okay, I guess that's the answer I was looking for. The PPA takes precidence, even if the version number in the PPA is lower? [08:45] nickmoeck, the version would not be lower, but yeah [08:45] !cn | test [08:45] test: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn /join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk [08:45] 10.04, gparted don't show my dmraid( aka onboard RAID ) but each individual drive, any fix to it ?

Version 0.2.8+bzr56 (natty), package size 4 kB, installed size 56 kB [08:50] hi. is it possible to use a newer kdenlive package in ubuntu 10.04 lets without upgrading the whole system? [08:51] the_p_, compile, or find a PPA sure, perhaps backports as well [08:51] bazhang, stop it and look on the site i give you [08:51] the_p_, what version did you look for [08:52] glda19, address the channel please. I cannot help you right now [08:53] bazhang, stop it [08:53] glda19, we are volunteers. please dont make demands like that. [08:53] bazhang, look on the link i give you [08:54] glda19, its a PPA. use what I told you earlier. [08:54] hi, i'm trying to setup samba and when i access a share, it won't allow me to write to it, even though i have "write list = username" under the share heading [08:54] bazhang: as new as possible. the one in 10.04 is quite buggy and I was told that the newer ones are much better so I want to test this. [08:55] glda19, can you ask your full question in one line, please, so I could see if it's something I know? [08:55] bazhang: thanks for your hint. I found out that the kdenlive project itself has a ppa with the newest version. [08:55] Gryllida, yes no problem [08:55] the_p_, check to see if its available for lucid [08:55] devral: have you tried windows 7? [08:55] has anyone here how to install PWU2200GB wireless driver? i have it but its on .tgz file [08:56] Delta_ i am using windows 7 client to connect to a samba server on ubuntu 10.04 [08:56] Delta_ it just shows, "Try again | Cancel" [08:56] Delta_ or rather, "You need permission to access this share, Try again | Cancel" [08:56] devral: check your firewall [08:57] bazhang: it seems to work I installed it and it also runs. [08:57] devral: did you log in to the share? [08:57] Delta_ i can read/write to my home share (\\server\username) [08:57] the_p_, good news [08:57] Delta_ but not to other standalone folders [08:58] l; [08:58] Gryllida, i did a upgrade of thunderbird form 3.1.11 to 5.0 and i use also lightning 1.02b no problem so far i use a shared profile so i can read it form xp and linux can read the mail. But i must also upgrade ligthning to 1.04b and now ik can read it any more in xp and linux [08:58] devral: do you have security = share? [08:58] Delta_ i.e., \\server\username will let me read/write, while \\server\net_storage does not let me write [08:58] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPClAUGj4S4 [08:58] Gryllida, before i found a solution and it works fine [08:58] devral: or security = user? [08:59] corecode i believe neither, where is this defined? [08:59] hi [09:00] DERMANNNN, hi [09:00] hi, is there any kind of frontend package maintainer use to promote packages between the different stages? [09:00] hi bzahang [09:00] bazhang [09:00] devral: in smb.conf [09:00] devral: did you have a look at the smb logs? [09:01] Gryllida, did you under stand it [09:01] corecode got it - it was commented out; it is now security = user - does that use linux the system users or separate smb users? (e.g., via smbpasswd?) [09:02] devral: no, that's a protocol option [09:02] devral: but that was the default [09:03] devral: so that's not the issue [09:03] devral: you should look at the logs [09:03] devral: and try accessing from the local machine via smbclient [09:05] Gryllida, [09:06] glda19, reading now; please hold. [09:06] ok Gryllida [09:07] hey, is there a lightweight, graphical svn tool/client/plugin? [09:07] glda19, I got this as that you upgraded Thunderbird from 3.1.11 to 5.0 and can't access its profile from linux or xp any longer. Is that correct? [09:07] corecode what logs am i supposed to look at? none of them in /var/log/samba update when i try to access them, and the only things in there are about my initial logging in [09:08] solars: tortoise SVN? [09:08] corecode oops, i mean none of the logs update when i try to write to the non-working share [09:08] devral: you'll have to up the log level [09:09] hello! [09:09] hi pa [09:09] bobbyd, is it a standalone tool or does it integrate somewhere? [09:09] Gryllida, not quited correct i can read the profile can read the mail. But can't read my ligthning calendar any more. [09:09] i have a quite serious problem, hope someone can help me. I tried to install asterisk on natty 64bit. Already during the package setup, and after that during every boot, asterisk send my cpu to 100% iowait, and then the machine freeze [09:09] hi, i've just installed ubuntu trying to setup a dual boot with a windows 7 installation that was already on my machine [09:10] but the windows 7 is on a different harddrive ( secondary) and ubuntu is on the primary [09:10] corecode before i dive off into that deep end of the pool, can you verify i haven't goofed up the share section? here's what i have http://pastebin.com/SAv7ZJUQ === ncuster is now known as n8whnp [09:10] windows appears in my bootloader menu, but when i try to load windows it says it can't find the disk [09:10] solars: integrates with Nautilus I think [09:11] so when i logged into ubuntu to try to inspect my grub settings, I can't really find where the menu is being configured? [09:11] How can I show a list of recent upgrades made with the Update Manager? [09:11] glda19, You upgraded Lightning from 1.02b to 1.04b and can't read its profile anymore. Is that correct? [09:11] Gryllida, yes [09:11] corecode devral is a user on the system with sudo/admin rights, and root owns the /home/public folder [09:11] Gryllida, is a shared profile [09:11] balou: please dont use enter as punctuation [09:11] glda19, how did you install the unstable beta version? [09:12] ok, sorry. [09:12] Gryllida, what unstable version [09:12] glda19: that is not supported here as I told you yesterday [09:12] balou: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 === oli is now known as Oli [09:13] glda19, "1.02b" is "1.02 beta", this is unstable ("beta" = "unstable") [09:13] glda19, how did you install beta? [09:13] Gryllida, there is no stable version [09:13] hello [09:14] devral: oh/ [09:14] devral: i think you'll have to be able to write to that directory without using sudo [09:15] bobbyd, alright, thank you [09:15] i am having trouble with a partially installed package, i can't reinstall or remove it. it is preventing me from installing other packages. this is the error i am getting: http://pastebin.com/6eLqqkLm [09:16] hi. i've got hdd & ssd disk. At First, I want to install win7 on hhd, and then install ubu11.04 on ssd. Will i see in grub win7 & ubu to boot default? thx in adv [09:16] Gryllida, from the site of lithning with a xpi file [09:16] glda19: that's not supported here.

[09:18] DERMANNNN: what is the question Lars [09:19] devral: well, that should rule out file system issues [09:19] i have a problem with maximizin g windows: [09:19] ikonia, I'm about to redirect them to another channel. All I needed was to know how they found it [09:19] i did a screenshot: http://www.abload.de/img/bildschirmfoto28mf.png [09:19] DERMANNNN: what is the probem [09:19] Gryllida: perfect, thank you [09:19] DERMANNNN: that doesn't explain anything [09:19] DERMANNNN: may be it is stuck in another workspace.. [09:19] yes barnee right !! [09:19] try super key + S [09:20] barnee: but it should stay at workspace 1 [09:20] you can move the window properly into one of the workspace [09:20] barnee: i only want to maximximize it [09:20] barnee: on the workspace 1 [09:21] can you move the windows? [09:21] yes [09:21] glda19, /msg'ed, please read in private; thank you. [09:22] just move the windows and snap it at the top [09:22] barnee: [09:22] i do not want to change the workspace [09:22] i am on workspace 1 and i want to stay there [09:23] hi. i've got hdd & ssd disk. At First, I want to install win7 on hhd, and then install ubu11.04 on ssd. I will set on bios to boot default from hdd. Will i see grub with win7 & ubu to boot? thx in adv [09:23] yes mjanp [09:23] barnee: [09:23] corecode if i `smbclient -U devral //server/public` and do `smb: \> md test` i can successfully create a folder [09:23] thanks :-) [09:23] is there a way to clear all printer errors? [09:23] DERMANNNN: you can drag it to workspace 1 any time, first let us fix the current problem [09:24] barnee: if i want to maximize windows, they change the workspace [09:24] using shift+ctrl+alt+arrow keys [09:24] let the window move to another workspace in maximized form, use the shortcut to move it to workspace 1 [09:25] corecode and it appears windows 7 will allow me to do it now as well! [09:25] yey [09:25] problem solved [09:25] no stop barnee [09:25] barnee: that was not my question [09:25] corecode thanks for the help :) [09:25] barnee: i do not want to change the workspace but it does it [09:26] so you have a problem adjusting the workspace manually? [09:26] yes barnee: i think so [09:27] barnee: first i have to say, i only uses one workspace [09:27] i have got 4 but i only use 1 [09:27] yes i get that part [09:27] ok [09:28] and if i have a window on the workspace one, i try to maximize it, sometimes it works. it maximizes on workspace 1 [09:28] DERMANNNN: but does have you tried shift+ctrl+alt+arrow key? [09:28] yes [09:28] but i dont need it -.- [09:28] it helps you solve the prblem [09:28] yes thats true [09:28] if it maximises on another workspace, drag it to workspace 1 [09:28] but cant i defened the problem [09:29] because it happens quite every time [09:29] i think it is because when you open the window, the [09:29] who in here use lubuntu beside me? [09:29] riddler: why ? [09:29] night everybody! [09:29] *the majority of the window is in another workspace making that workspace default for the window, meaning when you maximize it, it moves to that workspace [09:29] riddler: [09:29] !ot [09:29] #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! [09:30] can anyone help me unping php version from my machine? [09:30] ikonia just wondering... i like it, its more lightweight than xubuntu [09:30] barnee: very good !!! can i stop that [09:30] hi, empathy issue. For one particular contact (msn protocol), moving it from Ungrouped to a group will be reset after the program restart. any ideas how to solove it? thanks. [09:30] can anyone help me unpin php version from my machine? [09:30] barnee: very good !!! can i stop that [09:30] DERMANNNN: you said that [09:30] ok [09:31] riddler: openbox,fluxbox,wmii,awesome,e17,... lightweight to the max :) [09:31] as long as i know, if you can just pull the window such that the majority of the window is in the workspace 1, you should have the maximized window in workspace 1 [09:31] yes: barnee: and how to do that ? [09:32] yes: barnee: should i move the window first that the majority is on 1 and then maximize [09:32] yes try that. DERMANNNN [09:32] barnee: that works, but it costs a lot of time [09:32] to move a window, click and hold on to the titlebar [09:33] ok and then doubble click on the window barnee ? [09:33] to maximize it ? [09:33] DERMANNNN: when you do that way, every time you reopen the window, it will stay in workspace 1 [09:33] yes okay and how to maximize windows barnee ? [09:33] yes, right clicking on title bar works as well. you can see options to maximize a window. [09:34] have you tried snapping the window to the top of the workspace DERMANNNN ? [09:34] barnee: yes that works too [09:34] do you always snap the window on the top barnee ? [09:35] i have two or three different methods to maximize a window [09:35] hi [09:35] I've just build a new computer, i3 4GB RAM... [09:35] I've installed ubuntu 11.04 [09:35] barnee: cant i defend that ? [09:35] snapping is a good one, and then rightclicking on the title bar for options, or double clicking on title bar as well. [09:35] and it's really strange, the keyboard is slooooow [09:36] barnee: if i change the number of desktops from 4 to 1 [09:36] do you know of any problem with i3 cpus or mainboard graphic cards or something? [09:36] barnee: should it not work then ? [09:36] because it seems like a problem with compiz [09:36] or something related [09:36] you can try, i never tried that, i want multiple workspace [09:36] nodie, which video card is on that system? [09:37] DERMANNNN: doesn't the window stay maximized when you reopen it? [09:37] good question coz_ [09:37] nodie, open a terminl [09:37] nodie, copy and paste this command lspci | grep -i vga [09:38] barnee: your solutions like snapping work really good [09:38] to easily copy / paste in linux... highlight text and simply middle click where you want to paste it [09:38] hello coz_ i think you can help me [09:38] DERMANNNN, ok what's the issue [09:38] coz_ we talked 1 week ago [09:38] nodie, what is the readout of that command?

[10:32] yes [10:32] sodoscar1: it might say "disabled" [10:32] sodoscar1: ok, so the problem is your webserver is not running/started [10:32] dermannnn, ok and what are the cube conflicts? [10:32] many things [10:32] and if i ignore them [10:32] airtonix: yes inactive [10:32] it would not be activated [10:33] dermannnn, ok resolve the conflicts [10:33] ikonia: try 127.0.0.1 [10:33] sodoscar1: yep then note what ikonia said, you'll need to do : sudo tail /var/log/apache2/error.logs -f [10:33] coz_ i did so, everything crashed and i have to re install [10:33] dermannnn: I don't need to [10:33] dermannnn, not yet [10:33] dermannnn, now enable rotate cube and viewport switcher [10:34] i cant do so [10:34] the screen frezed [10:34] sodoscar1: is this ubuntu-server or ubuntu-desktop that you're running apache-mysql-php on ?

[10:40] dermannnn, no it doesnt annoy me because I only maximize a window on the viewport I want it on,, not when it is more than half way onto another viewport [10:41] ah coz_ [10:41] rabbit1: thats a signal for that your router does not accept the ubuntu authentification [10:41] coz_ do you first move the window to the middle of the workspace [10:41] coz_ and then maximize it === H4ns is now known as ziekfiguur [10:41] dermannnn, so if a terminal is mostly on another viewport,, I drag it over and maximize it [10:41] ok [10:41] coz_ isnt that annoying for you coz_ [10:41] I have a networking question involving VLANs, and multiple ISPs if anyone feels up to taking a look at it?

I am still trying to switch over to mac from ubuntu but for some reason Ubuntu ejected my external hardrive in the middle of the copy and now it cannot mount it again. It keeps giving me an error messaging saying "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output errorNTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault," it then [10:44] tells me to run a chkdsk /f from windows but I cannot do that because I removed windows when I installed Ubuntu.

[10:48] Jensit: i din't get you [10:48] Jensit: another ubuntu laptop is running fine with the same authentication.... [10:49] rabbit1: that it allways wants you to enter the WPA key might be a signal that the router does not accept your authentification... so i think the problem is the router ;) [10:49] dermannnn: With e17 as WindowManager your problem would be gone. With e17 most of the windows open on the screen you want and maximize on the screen you want. Only exception I see right now is Virtualbox, maximaizing only on primary screen.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [12:06] magpii_: Please use #freenode in the future if you need help finding channels. Otherwise, you may want to check out #ubuntu-offtopic or ##cars [12:07] gulzar: yes, as long as the graphical application does not need a DE specific taskbar or sth [12:07] Where in Ubuntu is the grub configuration file? [12:07] herkupus: Ok. Any example of such application. [12:08] gulzar: since i don't use gnome or kde apps, i cannot tell. btw, i use fluxbox as window manager. [12:08] Northernen, /boot/grub/grub.cfg [1] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [12:09] gulzar: but i guess the majority of gnome/kde apps will just work fine with any window manager.

[12:16] Pici, I'm asking because I just recently went from Windows to Ubuntu. In Windows I had a few thousand files only. [12:17] Trond--: in Linux even devices are shown as 'files' [12:18] Trond--: in addition all settings, configurations and such are also in a file [12:18] Trond--: my windows xp c:\windows dir contains 13k files. [12:18] Myrtti: bluh. thanks ;) [12:19] Myrtti, That doesn't say me anything why there are so many files [12:19] Myrtti, infact, everything on gnu/linux is a file ;) [12:19] Trond--: becuase there is. [12:19] airtonix, Well so everything is ok then at least even though I don't understand it [12:20] Trond--: On my server, /proc/ alone contains 26716 files. /proc/ isn't a real filesystem, it is an interface to the kernel. You might want to check out the 'hier' manpage, as well as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [12:20] Trond--: indeed this is one of those things you must accept for now, and learn why later on when you have the foundation knowledge to support your further research [12:21] Trond--: just take stock in the knowledge that critical comparisons between windows and and linux on a level this fine will do you now good in your transition [12:21] do you no* [12:22] when play a .avi movie the totem say could not found the stream [12:22] i installed alll codecs [12:24] hello === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [12:27] hi mathAgentine [12:28] whats 2 + 2 ?

(periodic number) [12:32] Okay guys, focus please. #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat. === dyd-away is now known as dyd [12:33] Can anyone help me with my power management question? [12:33] pgold36: What happens when you try to suspend or hibernate? Nothing? [12:33] It locks the computer [12:34] goes to the screen where i need to enter my password to get back [12:34] pgold36: Happened to me a couple of times. What happens if you log back in, and try again? [12:34] yes but is sems that i've missing dependencies I nedd at least to know how to find out the dependences of a certain .deb before installing [12:34] I have tried many many times [12:34] same thing every time [12:35] Does power management work with WUBI installs? Re pgold36's question. [12:35] ho use cario dock [12:35] i wae thinking about a kind of backup because the PC are identical [12:36] pgold36: Okay. Let me try to find some info about that particular issue. [12:36] Thanks! [12:36] mathAgentine, you could copy /var/cache/apt/archives DEBs to all machines? [12:37] Hello. I have a DualBoot, I have Ubuntu 11-04 64bits, I installed nVidia's propietary driver 270.41.19 in Ubuntu, and I want to install the most recent nVidia's driver to Windows XP 32Bits since I can't find the same one as Linux. Is it possible that the 2 different divers work in the same system [12:37] ZykoticK9: The last words were "...and now have a dual boot." But a good question, pgold36: Is it a genuine dual boot, as in when you boot up your laptop, you choose in grub to which OS you wanna go? [12:37] mathAgentine, to find the dependencies of a particular package you could use "apt-cache rdepends foo" to get a list [12:37] astraljava, "I am using ubuntu 11.04 that I installed through windows 7" [12:37] or sudo apt-get build-dep nameofpackage [12:38] @Oli [12:38] when I boot I get a choice of win 7 and ubuntu. Then I get grub and I can choose win7 or ubuntu there too [12:38] Osmodivs: the two systems are completly seperated. [12:38] Zykotic9 can i do this with installed program? [12:39] whats up in this room? [12:39] mathAgentine, sure... [12:39] Osmodivs: ubuntu doesn't care which driver you use in windows (and the other way around) [12:40] yes [12:40] mathAgentine, i mean copying the debs from cache or using "apt-cache rdepends..." - the checkinstall wouldn't apply to already installed packages [12:40] !tab > mathAgentine [12:40] mathAgentine, please see my private message === leviatan is now known as alhen [12:40] Good morning [12:41] sorry if i don't understand I'm a new linux user tryng to use linux whti mi students netbooks [12:41] is there a gtk/gnome app that lets you manage and/or sync your photos in picasa/facebook/flickr ? i don't just mean an export... the app should be aware of what exists on those services too [12:41] ho use cairo dock [12:41] this channel is too fast sory [12:41] Would you suggest installing with an old ubuntu disk (10.04 or whatever) and then updating, or instead, make a 11.04 flashdrive ? [12:42] upgrading, rather === Cain` is now known as Cain [12:42] zykotic9 i can do anything you tell me [12:42] Autoclesis, with ubuntu, fresh install is almost always "smoother" then upgrading [12:42] Autoclesis: and it's way faster [12:43] !tab > mathAgentine [12:43] Excuse me is the Ubuntu mobile still developing? and where can i find Ubuntu for ARM CPU? And would there be gubuntu with gnome like kubuntu with KDE ? [12:43] But I could skip the USB creation process [12:43] rocky1, mm not sure about that,,, i am betting there is let me check [12:43] thanks ZykoticK9 , LAvalanche [12:43] coz_: shotwell (default photo app) only seems to have a export/publish function [12:44] I am just worried about the USB creation process [12:44] c933103, there is no gubuntu - gnome (classic) comes with 11.04 BTW [12:44] rocky1, what about ubuntu1 [12:44] Do you need USB universal installer if you make USB from ubuntu? [12:44] coz_: ubuntu+1 you mean? [12:44] Autoclesis: creating a usb disk is much faster then upgrading your whole system [12:44] rocky1, yes or flickrsync [12:44] hm [12:45] rocky1, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/synchronize-photos-between-local.html [12:45] Autoclesis: ubuntu has an usb disk creater preinstalled -> just download the iso and create the startup disk [12:45] rnvs? [12:45] LAvalanche, that's what I thought! [12:45] But i watched a misleading video [12:45] amith_: Was that a question? [12:46] rocky1, there are most likely several applications that can do this,, I just googled with this string,,, ubuntu sync photos to flickr [12:46] right, i've been googling last 10min as well and played around with some tools [12:46] rocky1, a search like that should bring up several options not necessary to use "flickr" as the key work [12:46] yeah picasa integration is actually most valuable to me... [12:47] Not to sound stupid, but, download iso, transfer to drive, put drive in laptop, then turn on laptop and follow install instruction ? [12:47] anyone know if gnome conduit is still moving along? seems to have stagnated [12:47] Autoclesis: pretty much - but you can also just boot into ubuntu from the drive to test it befor you install it [12:48] rocky1, is that now named gnome-pilot-confuit ?? [12:48] conduit [12:48] coz_: http://live.gnome.org/Conduit/ [12:48] Autoclesis: just make sure your pc boots from the flash drive [12:48] coz_: That would likely be the conduit endpoint for pilot (palm). [12:48] Autoclesis, the iso file on your drive wont do much just sitting there [12:48] Pici, yeah just realized that after typing it :( [12:49] OH, but I meant, using the pre-existing installer just mentioned [12:49] So the thing called "USB univeral installer" is not necessary if i have ubuntu 11.04 already? [12:49] ho use cairo dock [12:50] Autoclesis: hehe - ok - from the start. you can boot into an existing ubuntu - do you have one? [12:50] the thing is, the installer is going to want to format the drive and create partitions [12:50] Hello. I have a DualBoot, I have Ubuntu 11-04 64bits, I installed nVidia's propietary driver 270.41.19 in Ubuntu, and I want to install the most recent nVidia's driver to Windows XP 32Bits since I can't find the same one as Linux. Is it possible that the 2 different divers work in the same system [12:50] rocky1, in the repository I think it is named just "conduit" i could be wrong [12:50] I have ubuntu on desktop. I want to put ubuntu on a laptop. [12:50] Osmodivs: Yes. [12:50] I am sorry for being stupid [12:50] Osmodivs: ubuntu doesn't care which driver you use in windows (and the other way around) [12:51] hi, i finally decided to upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 (desktop). I would like to know though how you can switch off one of its very annoying features, namely the one that maximizes all the windows when you dock them to one of the screen borders [12:51] coz_: irregardless... the deb's at their ppa are from 2009 so :( [12:51] I have old ubuntu disk [12:51] Autoclesis: no problem. you have to download the new iso on your ubuntu pc [12:51] rocky1, see if "conduit" is related to gnome-conduit [12:51] autoclesis which version is on it? [12:51] okay, I am going to try it. Thank you, LAvalanche [12:51] I think the disk is 9 something [12:52] So I am willing to try the USB method [12:52] Autoclesis: then connect your flash drive to the ubuntu pc. startup the usb creation prog from ubuntu [12:52] Right, LAvalanche [12:52] Autoclesis: after that just use the drive with your laptop [12:52] I want to install it fully [12:52] I don't want windows [12:53] Autoclesis: just follow the instructions. ther is an option for that [12:53] Okay, thanks for the confirmation. [12:53] Autoclesis: one thing. your data on the falsh drive will be deleted [12:53] http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-08763DU-12-5-Inch-Ultraportable-Clementine/dp/B004IZN3XE/ref=sr_1_7?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1309869366&sr=1-7 [12:54] How about that for compatability? [12:54] Autoclesis, one heads up regarding USB installs - be SURE that Grub gets installed to the correct drive (this might have to be chosen manually) [12:54] uh oh [12:54] Okay, now I am logging this chat [12:54] lol [12:54] Autoclesis: just ask if you have questions durring the process [12:54] Excellent idea === H4ns is now known as ziekfiguur [12:55] So the Lenovo Ideapad is compatibile? [12:55] Someone said the microphone driver was the only trouble [12:56] Autoclesis: you can always just try ubuntu before installing it with the flash drive - just test it [12:56] Right. [12:56] I want to demonstrate to some iPad people I can have more functionality at the same price [12:56] Autoclesis, take a look http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [12:57] Ah, ty jonatasnona [12:57] Yes, I've been looking at HCLs of all kinds. That looks like the best one. [12:57] Okay, TY all. [12:59] hi - I've got a problem with jdb2/sda1-8 getting to 95% IO when writing to a table with mysql [12:59] thx, Pici , LAvalanche . [12:59] how can i switch off the window maximization (when i dock them to one of the borders) [13:00] it seems like jdb2/sda1-8 is stopping mysql writing to disk faster than about 1/2 M/s - does this sound possible? [13:04] can anyone tell me how can I install different kernel to 64 bit server 10.04 [13:08] guys, if i create a pdf from a webpage it asks for a password as i try to open the file... but i didnt set any. i'm using opera. [13:09] pgold36: Can't find anything real solid. Perhaps try this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/pm-utils/+bug/475087 Just don't blindly remove, backup first. (the file mentioned in the workaround, I mean) [13:09] Ubuntu bug 475087 in pm-utils "Suspend and Hibernate options merely lock screen." [Undecided,Invalid] [13:09] Thanks! [13:09] Hi everybody [13:11] ok probably the pdf is damaged the reader thinks it has a pwd [13:11] does anyone know if it's possible... in Shotwell... to have it re-organize all of the photos in it's library on disk such that it maches the layout of the "Importing Pattern" pattern? [13:12] I've been using (X)Ubuntu for some weeks now and I *really* like it [13:13] good stuff [13:14] I think I could use some pointers for configuring the login screen [13:15] astraljava: Thanks but that file does not exist in my system as it did not for others who commented there. I just posted my own question so i will wait to see what I get. [13:15] ZykoticK9: I've using what you've told and I can pass the /var/cache/apt/archives DEBs ¿What are those files? [13:15] i've tried to use the rdepends command bot despite i use the corect path file (I've double check it) i get "the package can't be found" message. [13:15] cptklotz: would you like to do without the login screen, or just change the artwork/layout? [13:15] I don't understand why Lenovo wouldn't offer to sell a Thinkpad with Ubuntu preinstalled [13:15] I just asked them [13:16] can anyone explain why youtube causes my junk to freeze? [13:16] and it's only with non live video [13:16] and it's only youtube [13:17] hi ubuntusers [13:17] chaddy: I'd like to be able to choose a window manager more easily [13:17] I've had a google, and can't find anything useful about problems with jdb2/sda1-8 hogging all the IO [13:17] I'm running xubuntu 11.04 and I've added some other desktops (Unity 3D and 2D, Gnome) [13:17] But the login screen doesn't display a choice of session types by default [13:18] I can misspell my user name and then I'll get to choose the session type among other stuff [13:18] i use kdm :) [13:18] theres a nice menu [13:18] which *dm are you using? [13:18] probably xdm? [13:18] I think that should be the GDM one [13:18] try gdm or kdm or xdm, don't know of any others offhand [13:19] ZykoticK9: are you there? [13:19] best laptops for ubuntu are lenovos and acers? [13:20] I tried editing the custom.conf file in /etc/gdm, but I'm not sure I can make it always display a list of session types [13:20] So, I have problems with a Tascam US-144mk2 device. After reading some tutorials it's clear that it's needed to disable ehci_hcd. Only problem is that we don't have the ehci_hcd module in our kernel - what's the best way out? [13:21] pgold36: Right, yeah sorry I couldn't be of further assistance. You could also file a bug about it, but search for other existing ones first, so as to not pollute the database with duplicates. [13:21] lxdm, too, apparently [13:21] Does anyone know about VLAN, dhclient and ping interactions? [13:22] what kind of files are the ones in /var/cache/apt/archives DEBs ? [13:23] mathAgentine: they're software packages [13:23] Loqus: state your problem [13:24] netmind: [13:25] mathAgentine: does that help? [13:25] 5 port VLAN switch. 1 going to PC, 4 going to 4 ISPs. Each of the 4 ISP ports is mapped to a VID of 11, 12, 13 and 14; with corresponding VLAN interfaces on my PC. [13:25] jcgs: those belongs to an already installed software or before installation pacages? [13:25] jcgs: yas but I'm a bit slow :( [13:26] I run dhclient on eth0.11 (1st port), and I get an IP / connection to Internet and can ping www.google.com. [13:26] mathAgentine: no worries :) they're the ones that the package manager downloaded while it was installing software [13:27] mathAgentine: does that help? [13:27] I then run dhclient on eth0.12 and again, I now get IP etc on eth0.12... but using ping -I eth0.11 I should be able to still ping www.google.com... but I can't. TCP dum p shows the pings going out and being rrturned on the interface for eth0.11, but ping doesn't render them. [13:27] Why does ping not render them? [13:27] jcgs: I'm tryng to figure out a way to pass installed software to anothe identical machine [13:27] jcgs: yes it helps [13:27] mathAgentine: what do you mean? like make a disk image and install that? [13:28] ..I can go on to run dhclient on any interface out of the 4 VLANs, and each time I get a connection, but lose the ability to ping on all the others. [13:28] mathAgentine:or just install exactly the same software, without having to download it fomr the internet [13:28] ...although I can see the pings going out and being echod in TCPdump [13:28] no, I need separate softwares [13:29] is to use with mi students and they don't have internet acces [13:29] should i use wine 1.2 or 1.3 for Steam/Tf2 [13:30] I need to pass the programs I nedd to work in class with them [13:30] can't you tell them to install them before they come to the class? [13:30] BobbyD apologies if that's not particularily descriptive, but it's a complex setup :) [13:31] jcgs: it semd that I haven't the repends commad ¿can it be? [13:31] what is repends?

You could try the HTML5 version of youtube -> www.youtube.com/html5 [13:40] ever since they upgraded to their latest BS code, youtube has been nothing but problems [13:40] but we don't have internet at the school for public use yet [13:40] i am trying to connect to a server application but says that can not start a client as the server is running or maybe set as admin...how i fix this?...i already granted me the use of the service [13:41] hello [13:41] rinkukokiri, what's live on youtube ?.also what browser ?

[13:45] JCGS YES i know so i've explained the situation [13:46] mathAgentine: if the worst comes to the worst you can copy an iso onto the pendrive, and get your students to mount is [13:46] I have a customer who notified us this morning that they could not access their we application. When I logged into the server I found considerably more apache processes than usual, but it still should not have been enough to bring down the server. I stopped apahce and found that there were still 114 processes in uninteruptable sleep, some of which started on Sunday. I killed the processes and started apache and they can access their application now. [13:46] Looking through the logs, I found that I have been getting the following error since about the time many of those processes started: "PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery". I am still getting the error now but I can't determine what it means.

[13:51] phux are you here [13:52] mathAgentine: if you go here http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ and follow the instructions, that's what you need i think [13:52] dimas: what problem you having? [13:52] to upgrade from one release to another, can I add appropriate lines to source.list and to an apt-get dist-upgrade? [13:52] rah: Works for me that way [13:52] ok thanks [13:53] hi, i've got stuck trying to format a partition, its not in use, but when i try to format, it says its busy. i've just partitioned it, nothing else. it doesnt even show with blkid :( any ideas? see http://pastebin.com/acbFpCr3 [13:53] rah: there is an upgrade manager, which might make things a bit easier, because it advises of incompatibilities [13:53] Loqus, VLAN interfaces? [13:53] peoples, i need practice english, anybody any channel for this? [13:53] Yes, [13:53] lol [13:53] Which good C++ IDEs are there for Linux? [13:54] wilson which language? [13:54] emacs [13:54] so I add 4 VLAN interfaces on a physical ethernet interface, then attache a managed 5 port switch with the other 4 ingress ports tagged to the 4 VLAN interfaces VIDs [13:54] thiebaude i am trying to understand how it works with the users in ubuntu...cause i have set up this name as user but i am the only user which it means i am the admin altough i am trying to access a audio server (jackd) throw ardour and says that cant open jackd cause maybe running in another name perhaps admin [13:54] bryan_: yep [13:54] Hi. I haven't managed to get grub to load my windows 7 that is currently installed on my second harddrive. I have looked at some google results that seemed promising and the Ubuntu community Grub2 page, but still haven't found a way to do it correctly. http://pastebin.com/NHd8nYnm is the output from the boot script tool. I would really appreciate if someone could advise. [13:55] Hello, is there a feature matrix to compare the server editions? I'm leaning towards 10.04 because of the long term support, but I wanted to know what the big differences are in terms of features [13:55] sorry i got this page but cant manage [13:55] dimas, im not sure about users, because i have always been 1 user on buntu machine [13:55] lol [13:55] Silly question but how do you open this man page on the command line : http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/open.2.html [13:55] Pici I went to the site you recomended but I couldn't found the package I searched: kbruch [13:55] oke [13:55] i dont know too much about that, sorry [13:55] :) [13:56] man open returns a different man page [13:56] WilsonJr: how about #ubuntu-offtopic ? [13:56] mathAgentine: Works for me: http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/?repo=Lucid&arch=i386&package=kbruch&have=ubuntu-desktop [13:56] or an ubuntu help cahnnel in his or her language [13:57] Voziv..upgrade..is a free platform so stroggle a little and help find out about the few bugs [13:57] Sorry, I forgot to say, the errors I am getting are: "error: no such devices: IE58E26258E237E3" and "errors: no such partition" [13:57] mathAgentine: Thats i386 on Lucid, and I suspect you already have a base ubuntu-desktop installed. [13:58] jcgs: the update-manager apparently isn't capable of upgrading from jaunty [13:58] thiebaude english [13:58] ok thanks wil [13:58] dimas: What are the differences? This is a fresh install and not an upgrade [13:58] WilsonJr: ##english [13:58] WilsonJr: ubuntu-offtopic as was suggested earlier :) [13:59] if its offtopic that is [13:59] Vorziv one is newer than the other [13:59] thx phux for help i leave now [13:59] >.> [13:59] rah: no idea why that is. happy upgrading anyway :) [13:59] ok ok, thanks for all! i try it [14:00] I got banned from Offtopic :D!!! XDXD [14:03] Voziv: the names are for different versions, they're in alphabetical order. lucid lynx is long term support which means that bugs will go on being fixed in it for 4-6 years (i think) rather than 1year for other versions, but people can upgrade to newer versions as and when they become available, because it's free. however, newer versions which have more features are often somewhat less reliable, so it's a trade off [14:03] Pici I've visited the site you told me (http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/) is seems to me that I need the meta packages of the programs ¿The metapackages contains all the possibly dependences of a program? [14:04] what is the common way if using raid 1 for encryption? encrypt sda and sdb and then build a raid from them or build a raid and encrypt md? [14:04] Voziv: the newest released version is maverick meerkat, which will be superseeded by natty narwhal in septermbet [14:04] mathAgentine: you need to enter the name of the meta package that you already have installed. i.e: ubuntu-desktop if you are running Ubuntu, or kubuntu-desktop if you are running Kubuntu. [14:04] jcgs: Natty Narwhal was relased in april. [14:04] Pici: thanks [14:05] jcgs: Release numbers are the YEAR.MONTH of release. [14:06] Pici: oops shited by one :S [14:06] *shifted [14:06] Thanks jcgs, but I was looking at features, I got my answer on ubutu server though [14:07] Voziv: glad to hear it, obviously, in general newer -> more features [14:07] Pici: what is a base deskstop? [14:07] I have a customer who notified us this morning that they could not access their we application. When I logged into the server I found considerably more apache processes than usual, but it still should not have been enough to bring down the server. I stopped apahce and found that there were still 114 processes in uninteruptable sleep, some of which started on Sunday. I killed the processes and started apache and they can access their application now. [14:07] Looking through the logs, I found that I have been getting the following error since about the time many of those processes started: "PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery". I am still getting the error now but I can't determine what it means. Above all of those errores is starts with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/638439/ [14:07] hello, I am in xubuntu 10.04, when I connect to my vpn don't alert with popup (vpn conection stablished) I'd like add a code with this function in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d any idea (sorry my english) [14:08] Loqus, I'm afraid your description sounds like advanced IT lingo which most ppl here haven't encountered before ...example : VLAN=Very Large Area Network ? [14:09] BluesKaj VLAN= virtual local area network [14:09] mathAgentine: ubuntu-desktop in most cases. [14:09] Pici: thanks for the explanation [14:09] kbruch_4.4.2-0ubuntu2 [14:09] jcgs, thanks :) [14:09] Pici: sorry I've downloades kbruch_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386 [14:10] jamiesarmies_: do you have any idea what page 53 is? [14:10] virtual sounds even more difficult [14:11] Loqus: are you sure this is definitely a problem at the computer end, not with the router? can you get access to the router's settings? [14:11] but wen i've tryng to install it , the libkdecore (>=4:4,5) missing [14:11] jcgs: no idea. Most of what I find on google deals with LDAP and BDB but we don't use either [14:11] jamiesarmies_: can you post the full log without compromising privacy? [14:11] Is there any way to troubleshoot which processes are claiming more and more memory? [14:12] Northernen other than killing them? [14:12] jcgs, memory usage just keeps on rising, even though I'm not starting any new processes, and I don't know why. === derp|gone is now known as derp [14:12] top/htop can sort by menory ussage [14:12] Northernen, sure its not disk cache? [14:13] dr_willis, pardon? [14:14] jcgs: that's all that's in the log, it just keeps repeating the "PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery" line, thousands of times. There are a few GnuTLS errors above, which I pasted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/638441/ [14:14] !ram [14:14] If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [14:15] Should the disk really cache so much that the system is forced to use swap? [14:15] No, the kernel should shrink the cache as memory pressure from applications increases... [14:16] I think I found my problem. The first time I tried to install ubuntu on my secondary drive it installed grub into the primary drives MBR (where windows 7 lives). Then when I tried to do it all again, I swapped my secondary and primary drives, so that I was now installing ubuntu onto my primary. After this ubuntu would load fine, and the boot loader would also display Windows as an option. Trying to go into windows, however, failed [14:16] Now I feel silly... Thanks for help. [14:17] anyone aware of a problem with vinagre (remote desktop) not updating screen (essentially not working) on client [14:17] I am now thinking this is because my intial attempt left some grub stuff on the windows harddrive MBR, so when windows tries to start it's MBR isn't quite right? [14:18] is there a way for me to do bootrec from ubuntu to fix my windows MBR that is currently on my secondary harddrive where windows is installed? [14:18] the mbr is only a little bit. If the system boots - then the mbr has done its kob.. [14:18] dr_willis:But the system doesn't boot into windows. [14:18] if you want to fix the mbr. you should use a windows rescue cd. and fix it. [14:18] it only boots into ubunt [14:19] I don't have a windows rescue cd [14:19] jamiesarmies_: are you sure that something connected to apache isn't using berkely db? or something related to it? [14:19] MS has them you can download i recall... [14:19] minimal rescue cd images [14:19] i'll try to find one [14:19] balou, are you able to see the grub menu at all? [14:20] its possible its not grub related but some windows issue. or it may be you some how removed some files/boot partition that windows was using. [14:20] Or the grub entry is just incorrect and booting the wrong partition [14:20] hello, I am in xubuntu 10.04, when I connect to my vpn don't alert with popup (vpn conection stablished) I'd like add a code with this function in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d any idea (sorry my english) [14:20] balou, when you say you then switched drives and installed to the windows drive did you use the whole disk? [14:20] Northernen: Yes I see the menu with all the options I want on it. And I can successfully log into ubuntu. It's just when I try to go to windows, that i get those errors [14:21] sorry chaps! have to tidy my room >.< [14:22] lapaga: I switched the drives, so that the new primary did not have windows on it. I installed ubuntu there. So the only thing that could have changed from my secondary (where windows is installed) is the MBR from my first failed attemp to install ubuntu. In my first attempt I was trying to install ubuntu to the secondary drive, which worked, but I think grub was put onto the windows drive because it was the primary at the time. [14:22] jcgs: how could I tell that? I don't have mod_bdb enabled [14:22] Hi. I'm currently trying to get a file from a non-working computer, using unetbootin and Ubuntu 10_04 live, but whenever the computer starts, I only get "SYSLINUX 4.03 2010-10-22 EDD Copyright (c) 1994-2010, H. Peter Anvin et al", has someone a clue to what I could do, or has a link to a valid answer in forums ? Thanks. [14:23] I pasted my grub config http://pastebin.com/NHd8nYnm earlier [14:23] Galeo: Why is the target machine not working? [14:23] any ideas on how to remove gdm from an ubuntu server 10.04 install [14:23] jcgs: I do have libdb4.6 which is described as "Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries" [14:24] AFD: sudo aptitude purge gdm :) [14:24] AFD: It will want to remove all of gnome probably [14:24] Pici: jcgs Zycotic9 thaks all of you for your time and you help [14:26] edbian it's not purging :( [14:26] I'm using sudo [14:27] and tried apt-get and apt-get remove too... [14:27] AFD: what's it doing? [14:27] AFD: error? yelling at you? [14:27] edbian 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded [14:27] says gdm is not installed [14:28] AFD: Than it isn't When you boot do you get a graphical login screen? [14:28] join /ubuntu-nlµ [14:28] how can i get the pannelbar back in gnome ubuntu [14:29] anyone know why vinagre doesn't update the screen on the client (11.04 client to 10.04 server) (vinagre is remote desktop) [14:29] edbian if I startx then I get to what looks like gdm [14:29] AFD: Perhaps that's xdm ? What happens when you boot? [14:29] edbian I installed icewm after the server install and then a package installed gnome afterwards [14:30] edbian sorry - when I boot it's just CLI and then I startx [14:30] AFD: run start x, log in, lemme see the output of ps -e === glenn_ is now known as glda19 [14:30] AFD: That def sounds like GDM is not installed then. But let me see ps -e anyway [14:31] sorry for the basic question but What exactly means this phrase: After you have downloaded these packages, put them in a directory and transfered that to your Ubuntu system, [14:31] what is tha name of the Ubuntu system, directory? [14:32] edbian http://pastebin.com/JuHffsMB [14:32] what is the standard name of the gnome panels [14:32] glda19: gnome-panel [14:33] edbian can you do somthing for me [14:33] AFD: I don't see any DM here. not KDM, GDM, or XDM [14:33] still looking [14:33] glda19: maybe [14:33] edbian gnome-settings is there [14:33] what is causing that black area ? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30630174/lubuntu.png ... When I move the a window over it it goes away [14:34] AFD: yeah... gnome-settings is not gdm [14:34] It's not a display manager at all. [14:34] edbian gnome-panel? [14:34] AFD: also not gdm [14:34] AFD: Perhaps you're confused about what GDM is [14:35] how can i get my upper gnome-panel back === brian is now known as Guest64065 [14:35] glda19: right click the bottom one, click add new panel [14:36] ebian thats not working [14:36] edbian I may be - but I know what the gnome panel looks like... it has the ubuntu icon in the corner etc [14:37] glda19: Can you elaborate? What specifically are you doing that isn't working? [14:37] has what looks like the clear-looks icon [14:37] AFD: You can have the gnome-panel without GDM You can have all the rest of gnome without GDM [14:37] i have istalled cairo dock and now i my panel where i can see location system and so on is gone [14:38] edbian I think that must be it [14:38] good morning [14:38] glda19: You can add those icons to the panel you do have. It's called main menu [14:39] edbian thanks for the help... I'd have been scratching my head till I was bald without it ;) [14:39] AFD: GDM is just the graphical login scren [14:39] AFD :) [14:39] edbian ciao for now [14:39] edian i hav no panel [14:39] glda19: I'm not sure why adding cairo dock would remove a panel, you could stop using cairo [14:39] glda19: no panels at all? [14:39] in the latest version, there is a mac-like button bar on the left. What is it called so that I may find out how to configure it? [14:39] yes no panels at all [14:40] glda19: Do you have a gnome-panel process running? [14:40] how do i get a broadcom 4311 to work in ubuntu? [14:40] how can i see that [14:41] glda19: using ps -e or the gnome system-monitor GUI [14:41] perlsyntax: You install firmware-b43-installer (easiest if you're online) [14:41] I am running Ubuntu 11.04 with GNOME 2. I have a dark panel, and the dark font is hard to read. How do I make the font white? [14:41] i try that did work [14:41] Would this matter if my wireless card blue light now on [14:42] corrytonapple: type gnome in the search and click on appearance [14:42] perlsyntax: sudo modprobe b43 (or restart the machine) [14:42] corrytonapple: System>Preferences>Appearance, font either has its own tab, or its under the themes tab. [14:42] perlsyntax: The light doesn't concern me either way [14:42] what you mean edbian [14:43] so what provides the new silly os-x-esque button bar so that I can customize it? [14:43] perlsyntax: run sudo modprobe b43 (to turn the driver on) or restart the machine. What is confusing you? [14:43] Pici: How would I go about changing the color of the font though? [14:43] ebian no there is no gnome-panel process [14:43] sorry i ask then [14:43] glda19: then run gnome-panel in a terminal to turn them back on. It might kill cairo-dock [14:43] perlsyntax: ? [14:43] corrytonapple: Its either in there, or you may be able to affect the color by using the color settings inside the theme preferences. [14:44] corrytonapple: choose the theme and click customize [14:44] corrytonapple: I don't have a graphical desktop in front of my to check where exactly the settings are. [14:44] corrytonapple: while you' [14:44] The Text is set to white everywhere [14:44] System-Wide [14:44] while you're there, look at the other config options so you know what is available in case you want to change more, without needing to ask [14:44] i did that i see no wireless. [14:45] perlsyntax: Do you have a /lib/firmware/b43 folder with stuff in it? [14:45] edbian, thy are back [14:45] corrytonapple: create a new user, login with that user, see if it still happens [14:45] glda19: fixed? [14:45] :) [14:45] if it doesn't then wipe your gnome config dirs [14:45] Marticus: Trust me, I have looked through there. I am quite experienced with this. But, the top panel will not have it go white [14:45] edbian yes [14:45] glda19: Glad I could help :) [14:46] Marticus: ok [14:46] glda19: For the record. removing cairo dock and restarting would have also worked [14:46] how to get info about a package without installing it from cli? [14:46] brainwave92: aptitude show packageName [14:46] edbian how can i test it that the gnome-panels are working with out reboot [14:47] will it give information about the package? [14:47] corrytonapple: backup the dirs first :) [14:47] glda19: Are they working now? I'm confused what you're asking [14:47] Marticus: Where are they? [14:47] brainwave92: yeah [14:48] hey guys so i have a dual boot with ubuntu and archlinux at work, anyone able to get it working using grub via archlinux install? [14:48] What is the easiest way to backup files in linux? [14:48] i'd rather use 0.9.7 that comes with arch, the newer grub sucks :/ [14:48] sako, newer grub as in grub2? [14:48] edbian where can i set how is automaticly loged in [14:48] brainwave92: ya [14:49] glda19: I'm not sure. I would just reboot and see what starts. I'm guessing it'll start whatever was running when you logged out last. [14:49] good lord, the launcher config options are pathetic, only one setting to control the activation hotspot, surely there are more options somewhere? [14:49] brainwave92: though i suspect its ubuntu being dumb, having all sorts of issues with plymouth and resolutions during boot [14:49] corrytonapple: dunno, I think look for .gnome* [14:49] Would they be in home? [14:50] sako, (life's simple..!) whats the exact issue????? [14:50] Hi, can I get some help w/ubuntu [14:50] !help | joeyJoel_ [14:50] joeyJoel_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:51] Sorry, my first time here [14:51] Hi, I have a MAC G4, single 125 gig processor, dual mirror door, that went bad. I downloaded ubuntu, burned it to a cd, but it does not boot, or run... I like help in 1`, getting it to be correct in format, and 2, installing it on my mac [14:51] joeyJoel_, what is a dual mirror door? [14:52] joeyJoel_: Its fine. Anyway, how did it go bad? [14:52] brainwave92: It is a type of PowerMac [14:52] It is a MAC that they called superdrive, it had an optical reader, and seperate burner [14:52] Its the one I want to get. We had some old G3s, but anyway.... [14:53] It's a very good machine [14:53] aint a mac user...we dont see them around here much.... [14:53] Hi. I just got 11.04 and I'm using the default "ambiance" theme. In gnome-terminal, in the tabbox, there is not enough contrast between the active tab and the inactive tabs. How do I change those colors (subtly)? [14:53] I will try to get one soon..... [14:53] the reading i did, say the mac is the eaiest to convert === glenn_ is now known as glda19 [14:54] joeyJoel_: I did not know that. I though Acer laptops were pretty easy to convert [14:54] I would bet Ubuntu runs great on it. [14:54] MAC is either unix or lynix based [14:55] I can boot beneath the os, and go entirely with command lines [14:55] But, first we must get it to work. Yes, OS X is Unix based [14:55] joeyJoel_: You mean like you are willing to, or that is what you are getting? [14:55] ? [14:56] You said "I can boot beneath the os, and go entirely with command lines" [14:56] Hi all. I'm attempting to launch Ubuntu on LiveCD and it's throwing me into initramfs. Why? [14:57] hello [14:57] reseph_: Because something is wrong. Perhaps it's a bad CD. Do you see any errors about I/O error on sr0 ? [14:57] i'll rephrase - the machine can now boot. I can boot it into the single user mode,unix, or the windows ox. I want to change the os to ubuntu. I already downloaded the ubuntu os, I just nerred to install [14:57] edbian: I'm seeing things like "target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init" [14:57] sorry my typing sucks [14:57] uhmm, does someone knows whats going on with playdeb [14:58] im just getting blank page [14:58] dev00p: they have their own support resources [14:58] reseph_: The target filesystem is the CD. It's incomplete. I think you have a bad burn or a bad image. [14:58] reseph_: for the record USB sticks are more reliable [14:58] I'm actually using a 4GB USB === glenn_ is now known as glda19 [14:59] reseph_: Remake the stick [14:59] Will do [14:59] /msg NickServ identify glennd19 [14:59] joeyJoel_: iKnow what you mean. :) [14:59] joeyJoel_: Once sec [14:59] I may have not made the copy correctly. the download, i think is a disk image [14:59] i have problem to login [14:59] reseph_: It drops to initramfs or busybox when it can't boot [14:59] glda19: you've just given us your password, ask for help in #freenode [14:59] glda19: You did the identify in the wrong place [15:00] I am not sure if I made the disk correctly so it will boot or install [15:00] ikonia: I might have just PMed them that message instead of everyone knowing that.... [15:00] whats the linux kernel boot option to tell it to boot straight into a single user prompt without starting anything OR attempting to mount anything? [15:00] corrytonapple: good for you [15:00] corrytonapple, where is the good place to identify [15:00] I really urgently need to tell this thing not to do a damn thing other than give me a recovery prompt [15:00] glda19: In the window or tab that says "freenode" [15:01] glda19: ask in #freenode for irc/network help [15:01] joeyJoel_: Again, one sec. I have to handle some stuff [15:01] to boot into single user mode, it is command s [15:01] corrytonapple, ok [15:01] idkonia: WTF with the good for you message> [15:01] corrytonapple: control your language please. [15:01] joey just command s from grub? [15:01] i have a problem with my session in ubuntu [15:01] ikonia: You control your sarcasm. There was no need for that, and that did not even make sense [15:02] corrytonapple: there was no need for your comment, - so please, control the language. [15:02] Bella figaglioli! [15:02] joeyJoel_: Anyway, try booting it. If you cannot boot it again, try burning a new disc [15:02] Andò sta Maria? [15:02] yes, when the tones start, hold down the command key, and the letter 's' you will see a black screen asking for commands [15:02] wy im i login as root when i give my name on the loginscreen [15:02] ikonia: I was suggesting that next time you just PM her. Some bots I am sure watch the channel for that kinda stuff [15:02] glda19: you can't login as root [15:03] corrytonapple: I understand what you where suggesting [15:03] Hi how can I remove ark it tells me to remove kubuntu-desktop too [15:03] ikonia: We good now? :) [15:03] ? [15:03] PythonSnake: that is just a meta package, you can remove it safley [15:03] safley [15:03] safely [15:04] PythonSnake: although it does beg the question why you want to remove ark [15:04] I'm not sure you understand completely, my bad... when I made disk images from mac, I know the format. the ubuntu disk has many folders. I am not sure if I should have open all, Before I burned, OR, left it in the folder. One of those ways , and nothing will be recognied [15:04] ikonia: if i remove kubuntu-desktop, my desktop is gone ? [15:04] wow this server drives me nuts when you have to reboot it, it takes a good 6 or 7 minutes before it even STARTS going near the operating system [15:04] PythonSnake: no, but I'd suggest not removing ark unless you need to [15:05] joeyJoel_: So did you extract all of the files to the root of the CD, then burn it to make it bootable? [15:05] So there are no more folders? [15:05] ikonia: when i right click on archives and extract them, ark keeps prompting me again and again but i've already ticked ''apply to all'' [15:05] is that a bug ? [15:05] well, thats the quesation... I'm not sure what I need to do. I have the ubuntu os downloaded, but to install, I have to burn it to cd [15:05] PythonSnake: I don't know, look in the launchpad.net bug database [15:06] joeyJoel_: Did you follow the instructions on the download page for mac or windows on how to burn it to a CD? [15:06] You should leave the files the way they are [15:06] it did not specify [15:07] it only said, download, then burn to cd [15:07] What OS are you in now joeyJoel? [15:07] My mac is 10.5.8 ppc - my windows is system 7 [15:08] Hi All! [15:08] What OS are you using now? Not what OSes you have. [15:08] on my mac 10.5.8 [15:08] What are SDA1,2,3 SD..? [15:08] AlexDevilLX: partitions on sda [15:09] joeyJoel_,Whats your problem [15:09] The question was unclear - what am I using right now, as I type? [15:09] joeyJoel_: Okay, then let me ask you if you followed this link? [15:09] Pici,and how do they work [15:09] what link [15:09] joeyJoel_: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [15:10] its loading [15:10] Then click "Burn your CD or create a USB drive" then click Mac as your computer [15:10] Hi, guys! I have a problem with Ubuntu Live CD, can someone help? [15:10] It shows you how. If you did it that way, you should be good [15:10] AlexDevilLX: What do you mean 'how do they work'? [15:10] kurt_: just ask the question [15:10] !help | kurt_ [15:10] kurt_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:10] I got lost today in them [15:10] I can`t start Ubuntu Installation after booting from Live CD. [15:11] yes, absolutely. Notice it does NOT explain anything but the order of the steps [15:11] It`s showing granting rights and nothing after. [15:11] Did you click "Show me How"? [15:11] kurt_, so dont boot from live cd [15:11] joeyJoel_: That last message was ment for you [15:12] hey guys i get the driver from "Additional Driver" but it doesnt work and everyutime i need to rename or mv the xorg how can i fix it? my graphic is ati radeon 6490m [15:12] It won`t install at all, just booting a Live OS [15:12] at this moment, I can't recall, but I have installed many systems, ubuntu is unique [15:12] Remember, normally, I would boot from the cd [15:12] joeyJoel_: And thats how Ubuntu works too. [15:13] joeyJoel_: Yeah it is. I have tried many, but Enjoy Ubuntu for the support. [15:13] the machine did not recognize it [15:13] Doing it off a USB flash memory device is faster quieter lots more fun === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:13] Well, at this moment, I'm home, no extra flash drives === LogicalDash is now known as LogicallyDashing [15:13] joeyJoel_: So it just gives an error or brings you to GRUB or your bootloader. [15:14] hi i have problem with connect ot my wifi, after update [15:14] it goes to a blue screen, with nothing [15:14] So, what is it possible to do? It just don`t want to start an installation, but boots a Live System [15:14] how i can check, in what step it stack ? [15:14] How long have you waited? The Live CDs take a while to load [15:14] what exactly does the command "echo"? [15:14] shows message on screen [15:14] dimas: it shows a message on the screen [15:15] Of whatever you type in [15:15] so like echo [15:15] echo Hello World! show Hello World! [15:15] Can someone give me a hand in compiling a 32 bit mplayer on 64 bit ubuntu? [15:15] hey how do i install a source rpm on ubuntu? [15:15] so like echo "Hello World!' [15:15] (without a chroot, preferably) [15:15] I have the ubuntu os downloaded. I need to burn it to a cd, or place in a flash drive. The point i'm at, is it is UNmounted in it's downloaded form. I do NOT know wht to do with the raw os [15:15] <[mickey]> hey everyone new to ubunto and linux here.. everything installed fine but now it keeps on booting to busybox.. and sometime it just panics saying it cant find any root [15:15] BTW, you can calculate numbers with it [15:16] Is it possible to burn on disk Ubuntu Minimal? [15:16] corrytonapple for example this: echo "/usr/bin/jackd -d alsa -r 44100 -p 256" > ~/.jackdrc [15:16] I like linux because it calculates 2+2X2 right [15:16] joeyJoel_: The .iso you just burn to the CD by following the instructions from that page. [15:16] If it does not work, you may have a bad CD.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:17] Try verbatim [15:17] It does not explain the format to install.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:17] Sazpaimon: install 32bit libs, pass -m32 [15:18] joeyJoel_: What 'format'? [15:18] !tab [15:18] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [15:18] joeyJoel_: Yes, you have to click the "Show Me How" button after you choose your settings [15:18] I'm totally confused... between typing and reading [15:18] joeyJoel_: I know, it is crazy [15:18] joeyJoel_, Nero works on windows well [15:18] what exactly does this command and how i change it cause i need to change some parameters?...i mean i dont want to have the two commands [15:18] AlexDevilLX, Please Stop with spamming about Winodws [15:18] *Windows [15:19] Sorry, I can read... please do not be so redundant with me, as if I were a slug. My question is valid, and at this point, I'll figure it out myslf [15:19] <[mickey]> ok back to the forum.. [15:19] joeyJoel_: We're trying to help here... [15:19] joeyJoel_: I just don't understand what you mean tby "It does not explain the format to install". [15:19] I stated the same about 15 times, same answer. Im past that point [15:19] <[mickey]> joeyJoel_, I'm on a mac, I'll help if I can [15:19] Hi all - I have a really annoying issue with Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro. I'm running the amd64 alternative mac install, is there a specific group who work with that or is this channel the place to ask about things? [15:19] joeyJoel_: We are trying to help. You are not describing the problem well, so I have to try to figure it out [15:19] gandhijee, I'm running LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32" CC="gcc -m32" host_alias=i386-unknown-linux-gnu linux32 dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b -ai386 -j9 -nc [15:20] corrytonapple: I dont spam, i simply told, how i burned dvd [15:20] So, can someone help me with my problem here? [15:20] <[mickey]> I'm afraid I missed ur original question [15:20] it's still missing some libraries i manually extracted to /usr/lib32 [15:20] can't see windows network, actually can't see any network, under Entire network.. [15:20] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes says (as well as other docs) that I should have a upgrade option to go to 10.10 available in the gui. So far can't find anything. Only when 10.04 updates are available. Ideas? [15:20] AlexDevilLX: You said how well Nero works on 7. You keep talking about Windows and not Ubuntu [15:20] can access network in xp vm [15:20] If anyone is in southernCA, email me, and I'll have you as agues to one of my shows. joel@joeysblues.com.... Thank you all, bye. [15:20] Sazpaimon: you might have to tell it where to find hte header files [15:21] Well, I just wasted my time. *sigh* [15:21] I am trying to get adobe air on my Unbuntu. Does anybody know how to do this? [15:21] corrytonapple: sorry for offtopic [15:21] my question is very simple...i need to change the parameters on this command but i dont want to leave what i did before with it...then command is: echo "/usr/bin/jackd -d alsa -r 44100 -p 256" > ~/.jackdrc [15:21] AlexDevilLX: Its cool :) [15:21] !adobe [15:22] I am using XChat. How do I get rid of all this someone joined someone quit stuff? [15:22] dimas: all that does it put the output of the first part of the command into a file at ~/.jackdrc [15:22] !quietxchat > corrytonapple [15:22] corrytonapple, please see my private message [15:22] Hi, I'm running 10.04 at work, and recently, my workstation keeps losing connection to the server. My only solution thus far is unplugging the ethernet cord for about 5 min and then reconnecting it. Any ideas on how I can remedy this situation? [15:22] Someone?! [15:22] pici but i want to change it...how i revert what i did and put the new one? [15:22] !someone | kurt_ [15:22] kurt_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[15:23] hi, I recently ran some routine software updates for Ubuntu Natty, and on rebooting my wireless card no longer worked [15:23] I am doing what the Ubott told em too [15:23] Pici you sure? [15:23] Why does I can`t start an Ubuntu Isntallation, if my Live System boots normal?! [15:23] dimas: Thats what the > operator means. [15:23] !poll [15:23] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:23] how can I create a file in /etc/network/ with root permission and execute [15:23] Pice: what changed when the network troubles started? [15:23] !msgthebot > AlexDevilLX [15:23] AlexDevilLX, please see my private message [15:23] Pici then i wont have the two commands on it? [15:23] dimas: what? [15:24] does anybody know how to get adboe air on Ubuntu? [15:24] soziety: touch file && chmod +x file [15:24] adobe* [15:24] so yeah, can't see windows network in 10.04, what's a good start? [15:24] any package for ubuntu to create SSTP vpn server on a ubuntu box? [15:24] please [15:24] Pici i want to send the command again with different parameters insted 256....2048 for example ...i wnat to make sure it wont just write another line on it [15:25] Please, I need an issue for my INSTALL problem. [15:25] dimas: I already said. > overwrites the file. If you wanted to append, you would have used '>>', not '>' [15:25] sipior ... nothing really ... I would attempt to connect to our serevr with my domain login and it would consistently fail authentication. I eventually had to get my boss to log in as admin to figure out that my workstation had lost it's IP [15:25] reinstall likewise? [15:25] gandhijee, Its compiling okay until it gets to ccache, where I see "/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib32/libass.a when searching for -lass" [15:25] Pici got ya, thanks [15:25] thnks AI_ [15:25] kurt_: you should say, _why_ you can't start an installation [15:25] I just get: Couldn't display "network:///" [15:26] Pice: possible you have a bad cable, or the port on the switch is confused/broken [15:26] sipior: The only thing I can think of was an update, but nothing updated in the past few weeks. [15:26] I`ve told! It WON`T starts. It opens a Granting Permission window, and that`s all! [15:26] umm hello? Can people read my question or is my internet failing? [15:26] sipior: I'll try that and see if it fixes anything [15:27] sipior: Thanks [15:27] cryoniccore: no fail [15:27] !RockBox [15:27] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [15:27] Hello [15:27] cryoniccore: widespread hangovers, methinks [15:27] Hello Archie [15:27] Hiya, how're you? [15:28] doing good. Do you have a question we can help with? [15:28] cryoniccore: just ask straight questions, tell the problem or use google [15:28] AI_ sweet. I was wondering if there was a quick and easy way to install adobe air on my Ubuntu 64bit 11.04 [15:28] lol, wow, added a SAN to this stupid server and it reordered all the drives in linux (like sdc because sde etc etc) which gave me endless issues trying to boot it again :P [15:28] No. I'm ok thanks, this room was just on auto joins. Thanks anyway. [15:28] Archie you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:28] There we all hang out. [15:28] kurt_: pls ask, before you talk to somebody in a query. i don't like this [15:29] from repository...search for it [15:29] I have my LIVE system running. But Ubuntu Installation stuff WON`T starts! [15:29] sudipta. I did and I cant find it [15:30] kurt_: This is no guaranteed shot, but a guess. Did you try not doing a live boot, but installing it as soon as it comes up instead of try then install? [15:30] It won`t load this stuff at boot [15:30] Well, I can say I tried. [15:30] I`ve choosed an installation method, but it booted Live System [15:31] how do you save iptables in ubuntu? [15:31] kurt_ You may have a bad CD. Did you burn to a CD or USB? [15:31] To a CD with 4x [15:31] No errors with a proof [15:31] cryoniccore: just download http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/1.5/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin [15:32] adobeair [15:32] It may just be a bad CD. You could try burning to a new CD, using quality media. I have found there to be errors with a CD and it be the cause of a bad install or live cd [15:32] Hi all. Trying to boot Ubuntu from USB again, now it gets stuck at "SYSLINUX 3.82" etc line and does nothing. [15:32] Can I burn a minimum .iso on CD? [15:32] Will it be bootable? [15:32] AI_, Yea I have tried that too but it on;y supports 32bit [15:32] Not to a desktop, and you would install via command line with minimal graphics [15:33] Yes [15:33] Which kurt_ is quite easy [15:33] cryoniccore: google for it [15:33] http://paste.linuxassist.net/215686 <=== <3, I upgraded my server :P [15:33] What program do I use to open a bin file? [15:33] now its looking pretty [15:34] cryoniccore: chmod +x file.bin && sudo ./file.bin [15:34] Symmetria: Thats nice but its really something that ought to be in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:36] hi, I asked this earlier to no avail--I recently ran some routine software updates for Ubuntu Natty, and on rebooting my wireless card no longer worked. is there any way to roll back wireless/network driver updates? [15:39] AI_ chmod: cannot access `AdobeAIRInstaller.bin': No such file or directory [15:39] cryoniccore: lol [15:40] AI_ I dont get the humour in that [15:41] cryoniccore: 2 possibilities.. 1: there is no file with that name 2: youre rights are wrong, try it as root [15:42] AI_ U failed to tell me to switch directories. Cus thats where is package is atm [15:43] Hello [15:43] cryoniccore: do i also have to tell you to use the keybord for typing the commands? [15:43] could someone explain me that: test -x /usr/sbin/sshd || exit 0 [15:43] ? [15:44] its a line from init.d script for ssh === root is now known as Guest16489 [15:44] :) [15:44] why it return 0 when the deamon not exist?? [15:44] AI_ actually I am not that good at linux so maybe u should pretend when helping people out that they know nothing in terminal [15:45] hi all, need some advice on how to solve this under natty [15:45] E: Build-Depends dependency for wine1.3 cannot be satisfied because the package docbook-to-man cannot be found [15:46] dspstv: do you have the main repository enabled? [15:46] I am trying to execute a code in etc/network like this zenity --warning --title "...::: Internet Block :::..." and don't run, could you help me? [15:47] AI_ but anyways thanks for the help [15:47] Hi All. Anyone have any idea why audio doesn't get passed through from line-in to headphone out on my ubuntu box? [15:47] cryoniccore: no problem [15:48] jrib: i did an update and yes, i have all those main reps there [15:48] dspstv: pastebin the result of: « apt-cache policy docbook-to-man » [15:48] The line-in works, because audio properties shows visuals that follow the audio, but I cannot hear the audio from my headphones [15:48] AI_ yea when I changed directories and used the Commands that u gave me. The installation worked great :) [15:48] just a minute please jrib, and thanks btw [15:49] I am trying to execute a code in etc/network like this [15:49] #!/bin/sh [15:49] zenity --warning --title "example" [15:49] and dont run [15:49] it's called by other process [15:49] soziety_: please don't use enter to break up your thoughts. What do you mean by "trying to execute a code in etc/network"? [15:50] jrib: http://pastebin.com/twbNziUf [15:50] dspstv: pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list* [15:51] sorry jrib, I am making a code it's called by NetworkManager when internet is falling down [15:52] soziety_: environment probably differs. Maybe call "zenity" with full path or provide appropriate DISPLAY environment variable [15:52] ok thnks jrib === Harry2008 is now known as pr0gm3r [15:55] Greets, everyone... Anybody know which package contains the development files for gettext? I've been struggling for the past ~20 minutes to find it so I can compile GJay (http://gjay.sourceforge.net/), but regardless of what I install, its autogen.sh script keeps complaining that gettext isn't installed. [15:56] hello === wangerin1 is now known as wangerin [15:57] jrib: http://pastebin.com/ZitL6r5p [15:58] jrib: thats what i got under /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade [15:58] contrast: you've got gettext, gettext-base and autotools-dev installed? [15:58] dspstv: what do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list? And /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*? [15:58] how to become root and superuser [15:59] AlexDevilLX, type su - [15:59] AlexDevilLX: use "sudo -i" to get a root shell [15:59] sipior: Check... but thanks anyway. [15:59] !root | AlexDevilLX [15:59] AlexDevilLX: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:59] not "su -" [15:59] !audio [15:59] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [15:59] jrib: i have no plain /etc/apt/sources.list i had installed a crappy application suggeested everywhere to "optimize" ubuntu and seems it got removed [15:59] contrast: what is the exact error message? [15:59] tsimpson: I was able to do that on my Ubuntu. [15:59] dspstv: and you have nothing in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/? [15:59] corrytonapple: then you set a root password, which is not supported here [15:59] contrast: error might be in the software you're trying to install. it's autotools-based, i assume? [16:00] A root password in not supported where? [16:00] tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/638469 [16:01] how do i a cli search through source files for a definition [16:01] if i were to download something that came in amd64 or x86, how could i tell which version i needed? [16:01] jrib: http://pastebin.com/PrtE0yUr [16:01] eross: grep searches files [16:01] ok [16:01] So sudo su vs su -i [16:01] who can help me configure ALPS touchpad on my VAIO [16:02] dspstv: generate a proper sources.list using software-properties-gtk [16:02] sipior: That thought crossed my mind, but quite a while back I always ran into this issue when compiling a certain E17 app and installing a certain package cleared it right up... I'm running out of options for what to install at this point though. [16:02] I have a really weird sound related problem. Mic is not working. and as soon as I install pulseaudio the sound stops working (I for some unknown reason to me I can't kill it without respawning), when I remove pulseaudio it works (except) the mic. any suggestions where I might dig in? [16:02] dilruk: It's always a problem to configure touchpad on sony === tomcheng86 is now known as tomcheng76 [16:02] contrast: could i get you to pastebin the error the build gives? [16:02] AlexDevilLX: So theres no way? [16:02] contrast: does running "autopoint --version" work? [16:02] contrast: actually, the whole build output, if you could. [16:03] dilruk: there is, simply my friend had a problem too. [16:03] How is setting a root password not supported "here"? [16:03] ? [16:03] AlexDevilLX: Can you point me somewhere with a guide or anything useful? Im kinda new to this [16:03] corrytonapple: because ubuntu uses sudo [16:03] setting a root password, having issues with that? [16:04] I can do it in Debian, and wondered if I could do it with Ubuntu [16:04] It always says the password is wrong when I do it [16:04] corrytonapple: You can do it, but we don't support the issues that you might have with it. [16:04] corrytonapple: you can do so at your own discretion, but don't expect us to help you w/ that [16:04] What issues may come aboard> [16:04] corrytonapple: being able to and it being supported are not the same thing, having the root password disabled is a security feature that you should not disable [16:05] corrytonapple: if you don't know, then its just best to use sudo... if you need a constant root terminal, use sudo -i [16:05] What issues may be caused? [16:05] dilruk: which ubuntu? [16:05] corrytonapple: google... [16:05] AlexDevilLX: its Natty [16:05] tsimpson: autopoint was the key. A million thanks. :D [16:05] the root username is vulnerable [16:05] corrytonapple: the biggest issue is that the ubuntu sshd still (still!) permits remote logins as root by default. you'll need to turn that feature off, or at least be on guard for brute dictionary attacks against your machine. === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [16:06] contrast: it should be part of the "gettext" package anyway, or at least it is on my system [16:06] corrytonapple: they're quite common. [16:06] Even on household machines they are common? [16:06] only if it's exposed to the external net [16:06] I am not running a server here or anything. [16:06] Debian than has that as a security hole.... [16:06] corrytonapple: then it likely doesn't matter. [16:06] otherwise a hardware firewall should mitigate all that [16:07] tsimpson: Not here (on 11.04)-- had to install the autopoint package... Anyway, thanks again. Peace out. [16:07] servers and desktops can be remotely logged into so, if it's exposed to the WAN your a potential target [16:07] So then what does su - currently do if there is no password? [16:08] prompts for a password [16:08] then fails regardless of the input [16:08] jrib: thanks, it was all cause by a software called Tweak,, crappy stuff that help for nothing [16:08] dspstv: no problem [16:09] Regardless of the input. I guess then I should not go for it. So the issues are getting cracked into and then no body wants to be responsible for me? I would not want anybody to be responsible for me..... [16:09] are you just here to troll? [16:09] hiiiiiiiiiiii [16:09] Who? [16:09] you [16:09] AlexDevilLX: Anything u can find? [16:09] corrytonapple: do what you like, it's your own computer! but do try sudo out. it allows for a great deal of flexibility. [16:10] No. I was asking why setting a root password was a bad idea? How so is that trolling? [16:10] corrytonapple: the point is that we don't support you removing a security feature or the issues that arise from you removing that feature [16:10] dilruk: nope [16:10] AlexDevilLX: ok thanks anyways [16:10] Thanks sipior! I just knew Debian used it, and did not know of the sudo -i feature. thanks for the tips === derp is now known as derp|gone [16:10] hi is it normal that /var/lib/php5 belongs to root? [16:11] I am having permission errors because web can't write or read from /var/lib/php5 [16:11] what should I do? [16:11] tsimpson: No one should be responsible for anything I do. If you guys say don't do it, then I won't . thanks for the tip to be in a root terminal though. To the guys that accused me of trolling: How is that? I asked a question.... [16:11] how to repair dhcp [16:11] client [16:11] ?? [16:12] krisss117: depends on what's wrong with it, i would imagine. [16:12] i wnat chating software for facebook? give me suggestion [16:12] hello, i would like some help for a problem ive been having lately [16:12] corrytonapple: you don't eve need a root terminal, just open a noermal terminal, sudo -i enter your password, and you have a root prompt, if thats what you want (although i can't really understand why you'd need it) [16:12] http://www.kriswillis.com/index.php/2010/09/09/ps_files_cleanup_dir-opendirvarlibphp5-failed-permission-denied-13/ [16:12] thank you man [16:13] Is there a way I can make a bin bash script execute @ ALT+F2 when I type in the name of the script and hit enter? [16:13] i will like to automatically detect an hdmi connection and also automatically change the audio to hdmi too [16:13] Roasted: It needs to be within your $PATH [16:13] is there a way / script to make this happen ? [16:13] Pici, can you elaborate a little more please? [16:13] hope im not in the wrong channel... [16:14] Roasted: You need to put the script, or a symlink to your script within your user's $PATH. [16:14] KM0201: I broke my system (it was a bug with 10.10, and it crashed during the install of updates to 11.04 I needed to go in recovery mode and repair it, then get to the live system and preform a lot of commands that required root. But I really like Ubuntu's sudo setup. [16:15] Pici, so it's based on location of the script as to whether or not this idea will work? [16:15] corrytonapple: recovery mode automatically boots as root. [16:15] Thanks for the help guys. I will go back to just watching and waiting to help. [16:15] hi all. with apt-get dist-upgrade my system is telling me that it want to replace /etc/deault/grub with new file but the grub boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present. I have 4 disk/partitions to choose from. [16:15] KM0201, That is what I thought [16:15] Roasted: If you're not sure if it will run, then just provide the full path and see if it works.. [16:15] :( [16:16] hello, i would like some help for a problem ive been having lately [16:16] i will like to automatically detect an hdmi connection and also automatically change the audio to hdmi too === ozior is now known as lifo [16:16] Pici, it's just a script that starts/stops my dhcp server. so if I run dhcpstart, it should run sudo service isc-dhcp-server start, etc. That's all the script is. [16:17] is there a way / script to make this happen ? [16:17] xukun: How many *disks* are there as options? (you never want to install grub to a partition) [16:17] Pici, when I had the scripts in my home directory, alt+f2 simply "searched" for them and brought them to me. th at's all it did. === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [16:17] Pici, perhaps its location was why? [16:17] "wine: Install Mono for Windows to run .NET 2.0 applications" How do i accomplish this? [16:17] !info mono [16:17] Package mono does not exist in natty [16:17] Roasted: so the script requires sudo... you'll either need to start a gnome-terminal and run the script using that, or start gksudo with your script. [16:17] theres a mono package.. somewhere.. :) [16:18] Roasted: ~/ is not typically in your path. ~/bin/ might be. [16:18] royale1223, apt-cache search mono and install what looks right [16:18] Pici, well since I have "sudo" in the script, if I run dhcpstart in terminal, it asks for PW, then runs accordingly. [16:18] Hey, I'm using yakuake which appears on F12 but also when I move my mouse to the top of my screen which I kinda dislike. Any possibility to stop this? [16:18] Hello. I recently created a normal user account (belonging to sudo group so that I would not have to use my root account), and I have a question that I hope is easily answered. As root, my command prompt looks like "root@hostname:/home#". As a normal user, I get $ and nothing else. I find it very informative to know what directory i'm currently in, and what user I am executing commands as, and on what hostname. I keep open multiple split screen [16:18] windows to different serves, so having the format of user@host:dir# is extremely helpful. does anyone know how to enable this for a normal user? [16:19] Roasted: Yes, but when you run it from alt-f2, its not running it in a terminal. [16:19] KNUBBIG, you checked its settings? i think its an option [16:19] is it a "good" idea to install GNOME as a replacement to unity in natty narhwal [16:19] dr_willis: yes I did but saw nothing [16:19] dr_willis: will try again :) [16:19] xxghostxx, set their .bashrc to set a prompt how you like [16:19] !prompt [16:19] xxghostxx, theres a bash prompt howto - thats very detailed. [16:19] !prompt [16:20] Pici, I gotcha. makes sense. I just thought I'd get prompted for a pw then. [16:20] FollowerofMendax, you knpw of the classic desktop available at login correct? [16:21] dr_willis: thanks. The ubottu didn't know what prompt was, but I'm googleing now [16:21] no [16:21] Pici, I'm going to test it now. thanks. [16:21] FollowerofMendax, at the boot in choose your name look dwn and hit the drop down choose classic desktop [16:21] FollowerofMendax: If you don't like using Unity, then use GNOME instead, just pick Classic Ubuntu from your login screen. [16:23] dr_willis: can i just copy over the .bashrc file from root to the user? [16:24] because i notice i don't have tab complete or coloring or anything [16:24] gui++ font smoothing for Linux? Any alternatives? [16:24] ecoprima.pl [16:24] Hi everybody. I'm thinking of buying an external blu-ray LG BE12LU30. Does anybody knows if this is going to worke well on ubuntu?

[16:27] dilruk: Have you looked over this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad ? [16:27] can someone help me in hdmi issue ? [16:28] Pici: is SynapticsTouchpad same as ALPS? [16:28] nimi, so you somehow turn on/off hdmi sound when you need it now? [16:29] How can I send a pop-up message from bash? [16:29] soziety, send it where? [16:29] dr_willis, mhhh, thats not really the issue [16:30] something like this http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pizza.png [16:30] dr_willis, i want to switch automatically audio and video to hdmi when is plugged, and opossite way when is unplugged [16:30] I upgraded to oneiric yesterday (Yes, I know, I shouldn't have...) and it was working alright-ish, although the FS kept getting corrupted. So this last time that happened, I shut down to get into recovery mode and fsck. I got a strange boot error like "Please insert a proper boot medium". So... I tried a couple more times with no luck. I finally just inserted my 10.04 livecd and got in here. Now it looks as though my hard drive is [16:30] dr_willis, is hard for me to think that noone yet found a way to do this [16:30] dilruk: No, but supposedly the synpatic drivers work with it. [16:31] nimi, so.. how are you switching now? or are you even switching at all.. thats what i asked. [16:31] Whats the shortcut to close a window in ubuntu? [16:31] Oh, forgot to mention, I'm on a wubi install [16:31] dr_willis, being googleing it for an hour or so, and NOthING :S [16:31] something like this http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pizza.png [16:31] dr_willis, obviously, i use nvidia control center and pulseaudio tool to switch [16:31] i2iot: ctrl w [16:31] soziety, theres a way to use the ubuntu notify bubbles in a script.. i forget the command.. then i just saw this -> http://www.doknowevil.net/2010/06/25/ubuntu-notifications-osd-notify-sucks-notifications-daemon-rocks-exploiting-the-goodness-with-compiz/ [16:32] nimi, then theres proberly some pulse cli tools. but they may not be installed by default. [16:32] thanks dr_willis [16:33] pulse audio has so many tricks and features its easy to overlook them all. ive only just scratched the surface of pulse in my reading about it. [16:33] dr_willis, but is pretty annoying to do both actions every time, there should be a way [16:33] dr_willis, mhh, what about the hdmi video ? [16:33] Ok, not sure what is wrong. I set PS1="\u@\h:\w#" and now my prompt shows that literally instead of user@host:workingdir# [16:34] also noticing that if i push the left or right arrow, my cursor doesn't actually go left or right. It gives me two symbols. this only happens as a normal user, not root [16:35] the USB flash drives from my phone sometimes won't mount. How is it suppose to work? Is pmount a good work-around?

So it's a little different than when i used Unity =/ [16:44] Is it just me or is kernel.org not following the appropriate mirroring guidelines for the ubuntu mirror?

I'm noob in ubuntu sorry [16:45] scensis: me too. If I click on the clock in the top right corner a calendar pops up and underneath that is a setting to change the time and date. If you click on that you can change the clock to set automatically from the internet [16:45] soziety: just add DISPLAY=:0 in front of the notify-send command, is all I meant [16:45] KNUBBIG, but i sware i saw it in Yakuake.. but i cant even find its settings box now.

On this I click Configure Yakuake and then I have a tab where I can choose behaviour :) ah ok [16:47] ok better qestion what is the latest release of ubuntu and ill just change it in the souces list i.e instead of lucid it would be? [16:47] quaisi, That was better. But i see now that it is set to update auto from the internett. :S [16:48] the latest is natty [16:48] how can i change the background color of lynx browser? [16:48] cool cheers [16:48] devilchaos, i saw that asked on askubuntu.com the other day. several people posted default sources.lists for the various relaees I belive [16:48] eh?

[16:49] Pidgin normally lets me configure a proxy for just the one application. But in Ubuntu it does everything through GNOME preferences. I'd prefer to manage this on a per-application basis. How do I do that? [16:49] dr_willis .. have they found a way to fix the issue ?? [16:49] royale1223, check the options, and the colors config file [16:50] dr_willis: thanks [16:50] scensis: sorry that's a bit beyond my knowledge. Perhaps someone else could suggest something - unless setting it manually helps? [16:50] phearret, i rarely pay attention to wireless issues.. I just dont use wireless that much. (i wired my house) :) [16:51] lucky you ... I don't have the luxury ATM and need wifi as freely available [16:51] quaisi, I think i tried setting it manually once. But can't hurt to try once more :) I'll try that before i try something else. Thanks :) [16:51] I can scan with wifi-radar and it sees the networks, I just can't connect === ozior is now known as kacik_porad [16:51] k. for anyone who was following on the bash problem, i figured it out. the default shell for a new user is /bin/sh which uses a dumb down shell called dash. i just ran chsh -s /bin/bash username to change it to the bash shell and now all works like it should [16:52] scensis: no worries - I'm sure if you stick around someone can help you further [16:52] xxghostxx, thats incorrect... - dash is 'sh' bash technically when called as 'sh' should have the same features/errors.. [16:53] xxghostxx, if your scripts are using bash features they should be calling #!/bin/bash not #!/bin/sh [16:53] dr_willis: when i did echo $SHELL it said my user was using shell /bin/sh. so i changed it to so my user uses /bin/dash. now when i have files with #!/bin/bash it shows correctly [16:53] remeber that the 'system' shell is 'sh' which is 'dash' not bash.. [16:54] */bin/bash [16:54] blash [16:54] /bin/bash should always work when called as bash. [16:54] i can't type today [16:54] how would i delete files that were encrypted with windows? [16:54] bash technically should flag an error if its called as /bin/sh and you use bash features.. [16:55] yah. it works now that i changed it. before it was using /bin/sh (i guess for some reason useradd defaults to /bin/sh) which apparently is dash in Ubuntu. [16:55] a Users shell.. shouldent be sh. :) but ive seen vps's do that. [16:55] i'd really, really appreciate it if somebody could help me with an iptables issue [16:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/638488/ [16:55] xxghostxx, use adduser perhaps? [16:55] I cant recall ever using useradd in all the yeas ive messed with linux. :) [16:55] dr_willis: i use it almost every day [16:55] useradd -m foo [16:55] sudo adduser billgates [16:55] dr_willis: i'll use adduser next new user create :) just annoying. is there a way to make the default shell always be /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh? [16:55] :) [16:56] xxghostxx, adduser dioes it that way [16:56] dr_willis: it's a matter of preference [16:56] useradd proberly requires you to define the settings more exactly [16:56] I seem tor ecall some adduser vs useradd debate in here once [16:56] dr_willis: indeed. but it's not available on old platforms. like irix and old solaris. [16:56] so i'm just an old haxor. that's all. [16:56] !info superadduser [16:56] yah. i can do -s /bin/bash and it would've doen it. but if i don't use the -s flag, then it uses the default shell (which apprently my system is configured to make default /bin/sh) [16:56] Package superadduser does not exist in natty [16:56] :) [16:57] any help on the iptables thing?

[17:08] and should add an exit 255 to the depmod if clause [17:08] hi all [17:09] ah-ha [17:09] i got an ubuntu 10.04 box that i remote into using teamviewer.. but i get a display error and then ym screen goes blank once the system starts the screen saver [17:09] I can't open Synaptic: E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_earth_deb_dists_stable_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. How do I fix this? [17:09] guampa, llutz [17:09] thank you [17:09] you are tres awesome. [17:09] i now has forwarding. :) [17:09] checkin it out gimme a sec [17:10] I recently installed Ubuntu, because I messed up my windows install, but when I try to play Minecraft on Ubuntu, I overheat, I never used to overheat on Windows, could changing the Large Disk Access mode in the bios prevent overheats? [17:10] then its all good :) not exactly like i would be doing it but "hey ..." [17:10] Also, will changing that cause loss of data? [17:10] kind of silly that i can get tor/polipo/etc set up on the router but can't figure out iptables? [17:11] guampa: please, tell me how you would do it. my background is with pf on openbsd. iptables is strange to me [17:11] AlphaAtom: You want to leave Large Disk Access mode on. It allows you to use a Large HDD (where large is something like 10+ GB) [17:11] hi, I installed my vendors usb wireless card drivers, but after reboot I need to unplug and plug the usb card to make it work and to make wlan1 shown up, any idea why? thanks [17:11] iptables is nice if you grasp the subroutine oriented nature of it [17:11] I meant changing it from DOS to Other [17:12] It recommends changing it to Other if you're on a Unix system, but I've found everything works fine without changing it, except the overheats [17:12] so you're saying you'd use ufw? [17:12] jkeats: k i was prepping a paste for you, hang in [17:12] i found ufw to be equally complicated :/ [17:12] no i use iptables-save/restore and a custom script for net setup [17:13] well, great. looking forward to the paste.

[17:32] the sound menu suddenly can't see remote audio sinks any more. Padevchooser can still see them, though. Already tried rebooting both boxes. Any ideas, anyone? [17:32] brahim: you didn't ask a question yet. [17:32] zmoazeni, i believe so [17:32] lol ya we kinda need to know wut it is so we can answer it :P [17:32] i didn't install/uninstall anything that could cause this, afaik [17:34] are there any symbols other than numbers that cause a folder to be first in an alphabetical list in ubuntu [17:34] Ampelbein i did ok my question is : i want to create a database with bellion of data GB or TB i tried mysql but it gona grazy when a lot of data [17:34] things like $ and % seem to defer to the next letter [17:34] does anyone have experience installing ubuntu server 10.04 on a Dell poweredge 2850? [17:34] caedmon, depends [17:34] caedmon, are you running into issues>? [17:34] caedmon: only on 2940/50 [17:34] jonne, yeah if you absolutely eed pulseaudio then go to #pulseaudio , they can help , but if not , get rid of it and let alsa manage your audio devices [17:35] the problem i am running into is the installer looking for disk drivers [17:35] old documentation said megaraid would work [17:35] but it didnt [17:35] caedmon, hardware RAID? [17:35] yeah [17:35] BluesKaj, i need PA for the network transparency [17:36] i'm generally happy about PA, as opposed to the rest of the internet [17:36] except when it's not working properly, ofcourse [17:36] caedmon: they changed there raids from something called PERC X to H200/300 [17:36] caedmon, sounds like the same issue on my server... it seems the hardware raid card's drivers arent shipped ootb, but i never got a chance to test. ya might ask in #ubuntu-server, they may be more helpful (if they're alive) [17:36] brahim: that's not a question. "I want to create a database" is a statement of intent, "I tried mysql but it gona grazy when a lot of data" is a statement lacking things like "I used mysql commands foo, bar and gnarz but the response was EFOOBAR, when I wanted to do XYZ". [17:37] ok thanks. i will try the ubuntu-server channel === glenn__ is now known as glda19 [17:37] Ampelbein i want to use cassandra can u help me?

[17:38] brahim be polite man [17:39] and the kneejerk OMG uninstall PA it sucks11!! reaction isn't the best way to handle every audio issue [17:39] jonne, ask i #pulseaudio [17:39] could u see this link please http://cassandra.apache.org/download/ [17:40] they'll tell me to ask #ubuntu, as the issue i have is with ubuntu-specific modifications [17:41] brahim: where are you facing issue [17:41] i don't know how to install it and the doc is not clear [17:41] which ubuntu version are you using? [17:42] *hrm* what sorta disk write performance hit can I expect running software raid-1 with mdadm [17:42] i don't know what is the cmd to get the version plz?

This channel is for ubuntu support only [17:45] oCean ok thanks i go now :( [17:46] Is an ubuntu upgrade easy? [17:47] pretty much [17:47] hello can anyone see my text?

[17:47] yup [17:48] I am in another room and no one was answering so I thought maybe something was wrong [17:48] can't you see your own text Shaba1? [17:48] while I am here though.... [17:48] * Electron wonders if anyone has ever upgraded. [17:48] I have kubuntu on a usb stick. it boots but does not show my wireless chip [17:48] !upgrade | Electron [17:48] Electron: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:48] I have the drivers on this laptop [17:48] how do I "transfer' it to the usb stick [17:48] jrib, I am not wanting to upgrade. I am just now switching from windows to ubuntu and I wondered in a few months if it was easy. [17:49] the laptop is windows7 [17:49] anyone had the idea of using pen tablet input to have a "sign on" app to login with a hand written signature? [17:49] Who's good with printing? I have a Ricoh 2500 here I CANNOT get to work, even if I provide my own PPD file. I'm a little lost on where else to go as it's very frustrating... [17:49] oneliner: how is that an ubuntu issue? [17:49] Electron: that page has instructions so you can see what it's like. It's basically, just update manager popping up, you press a button, then wait... [17:49] jrib, ah ok thank you [17:49] oCean: app query, not issue [17:50] can someone provide me with a link to something describing how to setup grub2 to boot from a RAW image? [17:50] jrib, And waiting is the most difficult part I am guessing. heh. [17:50] oneliner: "anyone had the idea of.." that's not an app query to me [17:50] is there an app that <- refrase at will [17:50] Sitting with a friend and its his first time with ubuntu, but the problem is that he can SEE the wireless but cant connect to any.. any ideas to such issues? [17:51] Electron: probably a few hours to download and install, but you can still use the system while it upgrades [17:51] How do I put apps on the unity dock bar if they aren't in the menu and don't have .desktop files? [17:52] I can make a .desktop file for it, but I still don't know how to put it onto the bar. [17:52] Galaxor, just drag them there. .desktop would be how u customize them [17:52] notification bubble does not appear when VPN connection is established in xubuntu 10.04 [17:52] pdtpatrick: Drag it from nautilus? [17:52] jrib, ah thats sweet. [17:53] pdtpatrick: Dragging the binary from nautilus didn't work. Dragging it from the "run application" dialog didn't work. [17:54] Galaxor, when u press the windows button on your keyboard, search for the app you want, when it finds it, just drag the icon onto the unity doc and it will stick. [17:54] hi, does anyone have a "satellite tv in ubuntu" tutorial or could help me with basic tuning and stuff? [17:54] pdtpatrick: This is an app I compiled by hand. It's not in the freedesktop menu. [17:55] what's the default cd ripper on 11.04, or is there one? [17:56] i thought it would be sound-juicer, but that's not available [17:56] er... not installed by default [17:56] Galaxor, right .. but when u search for the app does it come up or does the system not see it? u can clone .desktop file and make the appropriate changes. But if you compiled it then just open the location of the file/binary and then drag it to the dock. You can always do it by hand like you wanted to [17:56] make a .desktop file for it.. they are not to hard to do === ozior_away is now known as ozior_nadal_away [17:57] pdtpatrick: The binary is /opt/tora/bin/tora. The search thing doesn't find it, even if I type the full path. [17:58] was not loaded, I did modprobe r8187 and was not loaded either, I mean wlan1 was not there, must be something different [17:58] Galaxor, .. so then browse through your nautilus window.. and try to drag it there. DOes that work? [17:58] how can I turn on a wireless interface when is not listed in iwconfig [17:59] pdtpatrick: Nope. But if I make a .desktop file, I can drag that in. [18:00] hello, it's the "getting broadcom wireless to connect to networks" problem for me, anyone? [18:00] pdtpatrick: so I guess that's the answer: Make a .desktop file. [18:00] Galaxor, hmmm -- maybe thats the best work around for now. Create a launcher on the desktop and then try dragging it to the dock. Have you tried that ?

[18:02] pdtpatrick: Yep. That works. That's essentially a gui way to make a .desktop file. [18:02] Guest38993, open a terminal ,, xgamma --gamma 1.0 is normal brighter would be 1.7 for example [18:02] hey i just installed ubuntu server on a machine i have, now i did install it completely and installation finished but then next time it started i just see garbage, any ideas? [18:02] Galaxor, right. Looks like thats the best way for now :( [18:02] pdtpatrick: Yep. One day...

[18:04] hey i just installed ubuntu server on a machine i have, now i did install it completely and installation finished but then next time it started i just see garbage, any ideas? (i did manage to find the ip it got and connect to the ssh server, any ideas?) [18:04] Galaxor, yes im still figuring my way out as well but it looks promising so far. So im just going to wait and see what 11.10 brings to the table. [18:04] Ok no ideas at all? anyone [18:05] pdtpatrick: I should file bugs when I see stuff like this. Feature request bugs. Then we can make sure 11.10's got the good stuff. [18:05] silly question: what voodoo do I need to do to run the boot up manager on 11.04? gksudo bum doesn't give any errors nor open any windows [18:05] notification bubble does not appear when VPN connection is established in xubuntu 10.04 [18:05] hi shabal: I'd advise patience in this scenario [18:05] hello, I've been at it for a few hours trying to establish network connection on a broadcom wireless (I have no ethernet possibilities), is there any educated opinion on this? :) [18:05] notification bubble does not appear when VPN connection is established in xubuntu 10.04, where I found this code plz?

[18:17] !root | wsagent [18:17] wsagent: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[18:34] Electron: there have been a few, yes. it's been a couple years since the last one though [18:34] Electron, there are some, but there just arent enough linux systems out there to be worth a lot of av stuff. more likely is a direct attack on services [18:34] ok [18:35] Electron: more common would be trojans, where the user installs something they shouldn't have. you can protect yourself against that by using the Ubuntu Software Center or apt-get for all your software needs, instead of grabbing random stuff from the internet [18:35] Electron, set up a good firewall, enable only those services you need, etc... [18:35] What about malware, spyware and things like that? [18:36] Electron, ie trojans, see maco's comments [18:37] Electron: malware is a umbrella term including viruses & trojans and such, so... as far as spyware, that usually comes through trojans or could be tracking cookie stuff on websites, in which case delete cookies or use a Firefox extension that lets you selectively reject cookies [18:37] rootkits ... :) [18:37] ok === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest2890 [18:37] could some one explain how rkhunter works ?

[19:04] especially-corn: I am using r8187 and says rtl8187 don't know why [19:05] it doesn't really affect your system's performance does it? [19:05] I have my situation under control. [19:05] what is faster 11.04 or 10.04 [19:05] Python: depends [19:05] Python: but if you want speed tweak it until you like it [19:05] buddha: i see something about syslinux, (like version etc.) for a while and then i'm getting a black page with a cursor [19:06] aeon-ltd: ? [19:06] buddha: and nothing else, i cant do anything there [19:06] ISeeYou: have you tried burning the image again. might just be a bad image [19:07] do 11.04 have more features than 10.04 ? [19:07] Python: some people find unity (new interface) faster and more usable whilst others like classic gnome; but personally if you want 'speed' (i.e max performance, least loading times etc) [19:07] Python: yes 11.04 does have some more features [19:07] Python: Haven't we been over this already? [19:07] buddha_: yes i've tried also another dist, but i've checked on another pc and it works fine [19:08] ok [19:08] Python: yes 11.04 has more features [19:08] ISeeYou: you have the right architecture I assume? [19:08] buddha_: yes i386 [19:08] aeon-ltd: yeah i want 'speed' (i.e max performance, least loading times etc) [19:09] The loading times are the same on both Python [19:09] buddha_: i''l find the link for you with the guy with the same problem [19:09] why would you want to go with 10.04? [19:10] <[S^K]> hi when I try to install java sdk with "sudo apt-get sun-java6-jdk" it says it has no "installation candidate", what is going wrong? [19:10] Do the repositories of old unsupported releases get shut down when support expires?

[19:13] i booted from livecd but I'm dumped in a terminal [19:13] buddha_: i have no any external cd drive for netbook [19:13] corrytonapple, I see.

[19:14] Python: heh no need really, gnome classic will be fine [19:14] Python, you would be fine on either with that hardware [19:14] Python: until you reach a level of 'strain' you won't need to change [19:14] With 11.04 you can get to Unity or GNOME classic, with 10.04 you can only get to GNOME Classic [19:16] i have a xorg problem [19:16] buddha_: heres the 2 comments http://paste.ubuntu.com/638544/ [19:16] especially-corn: describe it to the channek [19:16] *channel [19:16] the cpu usage goes up from 4 to 50% every time the cursor gets there http://i.imm.io/78ZQ.png [19:17] buddha_: and my netbook is also acer (aspire one) [19:17] heh I don't even know if I am using gnome or unity... [19:17] and if i monitor the activity in top, its xorg that causes that, it jumps up to 100% processor use [19:17] ISeeYou: ok so might be the same BIOS problem [19:17] when i first placed this on here it gave me an error saying hardware didn't support unity...so i probably am using gnome [19:18] buddha_: i've never had this problem before, i've installed some dist (ubuntu netbook and debian) few months ago without any problem [19:19] ISeeYou: have you tried the "workaround" as described in the link? :) [19:19] buddha_: now i've discovered that the usb stick is detected by bios on "USB FDD" not "USB HDD" as before [19:20] whaaa? [19:20] ISeeYou: That is crazytalk. What kind of USB are you using? [19:21] buddha_: its 4GB Kingston [19:21] evenin all [19:21] "sudo modprobe -r pcspkr" doesnt report an error, but after issuing the pc speaker continues to function. Any suggestions?

I opened a terminal and typed unity and my whole system froze up. whats up with that? [19:25] hi, i have a problem with my usb drive kingston data traveler g2 8gb,when i connect on my pc,this work,but 2 minutes later the usb disconnect,like a problem of alimentation [19:25] Hello. Can somebody please explain how I can set up the bluetooth to be initialized at boot time (just like it was in 10.04). Because any newer version of Ubuntu after that one (10.04) does not recognize my BT module .. [19:26] I've just upgraded my desktop computer to 11.04. When it starts bootup, the monitor displays "Out of Sync" and the boot process stops. Suggestions? [19:26] ISeeYou: fuck sorry looks like its just about making a bootable USB [19:26] but i don't know why,i have connect this first in the front usb panel,after in the rear usb panel,but i have the same problem... [19:26] @sisif is the bluetooth applet still in start up applications? [19:26] buddha_: Please mind your language [19:27] @ stercor delete xorg.conf [19:27] Why would typing unity lock up a system> [19:27] sorry bro [19:27] linusA: Thanks! [19:28] :/ === MidnightGlow_ is now known as opera [19:29] linusA: the thing is like this. My BT in my notebook has a sort-of kill switch (t`s not on / off -it`s those kind that you press only once to activate / de-act) which is broken - hence I can`t enable my bluetooth. Now, in 10.04 it was enabled by default at boot time. The thing is that in any later versions of Ubuntu, the bluetooth is not recognized (and have the module installed) UNLESS it`s turned on. === ozi_oglada_film is now known as ozior [19:30] @sisif is the bluetooth applet still in start up applications? [19:30] can you help me for currect metaexploit version to hack this site http://diablobg.com [19:30] linusA, no, it is not. [19:30] opera: no [19:31] how does a newbie know whether he is running gnome or unity ? [19:31] nobody ? [19:31] opera: illegal activities are offtopic on this network. Stop the discussion now [19:31] @sisif start there, if you really dont want that then, insert your bluetooth dongle or what ever you where talking about turing it "bluetooth-applet"on. when run [19:32] NoWayJose, is your "bar" along the left side? [19:32] NoWayJose: if there is a sidebar with large icons on the left side , its unity [19:32] ZykoticK9, no [19:32] NoWayJose: then its probably Gnome2 [19:32] NoWayJose, then probably Gnome - do you see "application" "places" "system" at top left? [19:32] literally bluetooth is completly plug and play with all supported hardware. [19:32] sisif: what does the command rfkill list output? [19:33] so thats the only difference is a sidebar...thats not much of a difference [19:33] ZykoticK9, Yes. [19:33] When booting my VM (11.04), the Virtualbox-guest-additions is not detected by Vbox. Why ? I can't boot. === opera is now known as midnightglow [19:33] which image editor is good for website design planning? gimp? inkscape? libreoffice draw? else? [19:33] NoWayJose, you are using Gnome [19:34] Ello [19:34] I use gimp [19:34] . [19:34] I compiled my own kernel though. [19:34] Yeah Gino [19:34] I mean gin [19:34] Mp [19:34] oCean, been that road already. Not working .. [19:34] ZykoticK9, ok thanks === brian__ is now known as BrianOfTacoma [19:34] and if there is soemthing I cannot do with gimp I use inkscape then convert to png or jpg and use gimp on it [19:34] Damn autcorrect [19:34] @fodi69 gimp is best for the web [19:35] I tried gin for webdesign [19:35] didn't go over well. apparently [19:35] :D :D [19:35] inkscape is awesome for graphic design, but with the limted quality requirements of the net, vector graphics are over kill [19:35] My wget keeps freezing anyone know how to fix this? [19:35] linusA, what I was trying to explain: there is NO blutooth-applet since my bt INTERNAL dongle (laptop) is not powering on. [19:35] On ubuntu 10.10 [19:35] What is the command to delete all files of a certain type from a folder and all recursive folders within? I tried : rm -R *.mp3 [19:35] linusA: it's just planning, later I have to create a drupal theme from it [19:36] I forgot password of my Ubuntu on my laptop. What should I do? [19:36] @sisif yes bluetooth-applet is an application in gnome [19:36] then I use Kompozer for the layout and eclipse if I HAVE to do any javascript/java/or ajax programming on the site [19:36] oCean, and rfkill only shows me the WLAN switch [19:36] BrianOfTacoma: find path/ -iname *.mp3 -delete [19:36] When booting my VM (11.04), the Virtualbox-guest-additions is not detected by Vbox. Why ? I can't boot. [19:36] I compiled my own kernel though. [19:36] BrianOfTacoma: i think.. find . -name *.mp3 -type f -exec rm {} \; [19:36] BrianOfTacoma: find . -name "*.mp3" -exec rm {} \; [19:36] llutz: ooh there's a -delete? handy! [19:36] wow lots of choices [19:36] linusA: you realise '@' is not necessary to address someone? [19:37] ashmed90: there's an article on google I found [19:37] linusA, ok, let me rephrase that: i get nothingin bluetoot applet since my BT device is not powering on. [19:37] thanks [19:37] Shaba1: i'm trying out Komposer [19:37] sisif: oh, ok. It'll probably only list when the hw switch is turned to on [19:37] then power it on [19:37] TheNander: Can you please tell me the searchwords or please provide the link? :) [19:37] maco: at least gnu-find has [19:37] it take a while to get use to Fodi69 [19:37] That can fix that. Try searching your problem, it's somewhere near the top. [19:37] there are some nice tutorials on youtube though [19:37] Not sure which keywords [19:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615512 [19:38] llutz ... do I need -iname ... everyone else used -name [19:38] and if you can get charles clarkes book that is the definative guide [19:38] if bluetooth-applet is running and a bluetooth dongle signal is recieved by the kernel, gnome will display the applet [19:38] are there plans to update novell moonlight to ff5 and ff6? [19:38] but be kind to his bandwidth [19:38] oCean, indeed. The thing is that since 10.11 there was something modified in the way stuff are loaded at boot time which prevents my BT internal usb dongle not powering up ... [19:38] TheNander: ah okay,thank you though. [19:38] BrianOfTacoma: iname won't care about mp3/MP3 uppper-/lowercase etc [19:38] ah nice. Thanks ... [19:38] sisif: ok, sorry I have no idea about that [19:39] oCean, Np. Thanks anyway [19:39] check the hardware lists. the only reason I can imagine is your hardware was blacklisted [19:39] Anyone familiar with VM in Vbox ? [19:39] Anyone have an idea as to why my wget keeps freezing? [19:40] @sisif, if it is blacklisted you can still usually use the older driver with stability risks accepted [19:40] linusA, AFAIK, there was a "bug" some time ago which make all BT / WLAN devices on notebooks be powered on at boot time. Since then it was sold - hence my trouble begun. And what drives my NUTS - under Windows I can use a software tool to power on my BT [19:40] ? [19:41] BiggFREE: I've got Natty in a VM. What seems to be the problem? [19:41] TheNander: Oh man it was recovery mode! How could I forget thanks! [19:41] how do you see a refreshing memory usage screen in a shell (I know top but it shows processes too, I just need memory) [19:41] I compiled my own kernel though. [19:41] Np [19:41] linusA, can you point me to the place where I can see what modules are blacklisted ? [19:41] After doing I can't boot anymore [19:41] Omg ... CLI is amazing for mass file management! Thank you so much [19:41] No one can help with my wget I [19:42] After doing It can't boot anymore [19:42] Issue? [19:42] Is there a course on CLI for linux? [19:42] I want to learn and use as much as possible [19:42] how do i unmount -bind a file [19:42] BrianOfTacoma: a system administration course should include lots of cli stuff. getting the LPI certification study book would work too though [19:42] KujaxSword-: with the "umount" command [19:43] :/ no one knows wget? [19:43] TheNander: is it just stalling out? you can ctrl+c and then use wget -c to restart where it left off [19:43] get a link for that Maco? [19:43] maco, my e-girlfriend!

Best of luck. [19:44] Can anyone confirm Thunderbird in the next release? [19:44] -o bind, tsimpson [19:44] KujaxSword-: so you'd use "sudo umount /fileetc" [19:45] BiggFREE: Did you compile VBox support into your kernel? [19:45] ok [19:45] KujaxSword-: /proc will still be there, just un-bound from /fileetc [19:45] christopher: thunderbird is pretty much a done deal in 11.10 [19:45] christopher: Best to ask in the channel for the next release: #ubuntu+1 [19:45] buddha_ ...

[19:59] n-iCe, sorry your pastebin doesn't mean anything to me really. Best of luck.

[20:10] astraljava, thanks === Urik is now known as UrikPA [20:11] ZykoticK9: I've already removed the module. should I re-load it? [20:11] ZykoticK9: Thanks its all resolved now. Bubye. [20:11] dongbag: It's there on 11.04, what release are you using? [20:11] astraljava, i'm not sure how much software rendering will help you - what are you trying to do? [20:11] ZykoticK9: Nothing, Hacky asked for it. [20:12] it doesnt seem to be there im using 8.04 i believe [20:12] silentz0r, just try the reload command then "sudo modprobe e1000 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1" [20:12] astraljava, gotcha :) [20:12] dongbag: Right. That release is outdated, and there's no support for it. Please upgrade. [20:13] dongbag, "lsb_release -a" in a terminal to find out your version [20:13] Is there somewhere I could go for more assistance with my printing troubles? I need to get this fixed sooner not later... :( [20:13] ScottR4: the forums maybe?... whats your printer? [20:13] dongbag: Well, server gets support still. Yeah, please do as ZykoticK9 tells you to. [20:13] KM0201: HP PhotoSmart c7280 [20:14] ScottR4: most HP's have pretty good linux support, have you looked at HP's website? [20:14] yep 8.04 - how do i upgrade - might it break something? [20:15] dongbag: upgrading is always a risk. [20:15] !upgrade | dongbag [20:15] dongbag: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:15] oh no - i was hoping to not have to [20:15] dongbag: to not have to what? [20:15] will things get replaced, like for instance im running php5.2.1 and ubuntu always tries to upgrade me to 5.3.3 [20:16] to upgrade [20:16] ZykoticK9: do you know how I could get the list of options for a module? [20:16] KM0201: Not yet. This worked when I had 10.10, but I downgraded to 10.04 because I botched that install and wanted an LTS solution... now I can't set it up [20:16] ScottR4, does this help? sudo modprobe e1000 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1" [20:16] dongbag: most likely... [20:16] silentz0r, sorry, no idea. [20:16] ScottR4: well if you don't want to upgrade, then don't upgrade [20:16] sorry, dongbag see above [20:16] jeez i hav to pretty much rebuild my server again? [20:16] ScottR4, sorry (paste fail) - https://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/hp-photosmart-c7280-with-ubuntu/ [20:17] ZykoticK9: 'modinfo module' is the answer :p [20:17] silentz0r, thanks - good to know [20:18] ZykoticK9: "FATAL: Error inserting e1000 (/lib/modules/2.6.32-32-generic/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [20:18] " [20:18] !info hplip | ScottR4 [20:18] ScottR4, sorry (paste fail) - https://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/hp-photosmart-c7280-with-ubuntu/ [20:18] ScottR4: hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP).

[20:19] .. [20:19] ScottR4, check the link I just gave you [20:19] I've installed all that stuff. hplip, hpijs, hpijs-ppds === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [20:19] ZykoticK9: yes [20:19] bazhang: already did after ZykoticK9 sent it to me, it says it all works out of the box... that's why I'm here, because it appears to be doing not that [20:20] Hey, has anybody any experience with Xen and has some spare time to answer some questions? Thanks [20:20] silentz0r, ummm not good - thus your question about "how to see module options" obviously. Best of luck man! [20:20] dongbag: php-imap isn't in the repositories for your release, so you will have to install that manually anyway. If you need to stay on that release, then please install all of its dependencies manually as well. [20:20] ScottR4: you can connect to it through the IP? [20:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen KNUBBIG check this please [20:21] KM0201 ZykoticK9 io bazhang: when I go to "Add" in System->Administration->Printers, I go to "Network Printer -> Find Network Printer", put in the IP, then it asks me to log in to the domain WORKGROUP... which I don't know where that's coming from [20:21] io: It picks it up, lets me install it, seems to know what's going on, and then it won't print... it says error connecting [20:21] how do I obtain a non-TLS version of glibc? [20:23] KM0201 ZykoticK9 io bazhang: I think there's a network issue behind all this but I don't know how to fix it. This worked fine when I had 10.10 so I don't think it's my actual network setup that's giving me a problem [20:23] cortexman: Why do you think you need it? [20:23] evening. I having an issue when I open a file from the browser in the image viewer, then save from the image viewer (ubuntu 10.04) the file is locked for some reason, permissions are messed up. However if i save the file without opening first, it works as it should .Ideas? [20:23] bazhang: thanks [20:23] ubuntu says - Not all updates can be installed - partial upgrade? [20:24] dongbag, "partial upgrade" means something is going to break! proceed with extreme caution!!! [20:24] trying to find out how to add reiser4fs support to 11.04. it seems ext2/3/4 won't support anything over 2tb [20:24] anyone have any pointers ? [20:24] im on linode and do have a backup from yesterday - u think i should risk it? [20:25] dongbag, if you get a "partial upgrade" message your best bet is install aptitude and run "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" which WON'T break things! [20:26] should i presss cancel to partial updates, update the ticked pcks and then do a full upgrade? [20:26] http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 jeremymcs ext4 supports file size of at least 16tb [20:26] dongbag, or at least "shouldn't break things" ;) [20:26] bazhang, correct .. but my format is only showing 2 [20:26] out of the 8 [20:27] Anyone here have google voice? [20:27] and lives in the US? [20:27] jdevel, not on topic here [20:27] im wondering how do i keep my server stable and also keep up to date regularly - maybe update once a month? or when a new release occurs?? [20:28] jdevel, #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat [20:28] ok thanks [20:28] bazhang, yeah, only 2.0TB on ext4 .. mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 .. and i get 2tb [20:29] dongbag: server usually won't become unstable by updates. It's the adding of new software that does it. But if it's a critical one, you should always check updates before applying them, and plan a maintenance break when you apply everything accumulated thus far. [20:30] jeremymcs, ext4 has a limit of 16 TiB - so i think your issue lies elsewhere [20:30] dongbag: Upgrade to a new release only when necessary. Meaning when you absolutely need new components that are not available for that release, or the support ends (due to end-of-life). [20:30] yeah so all the new things installed - php postfix mysql postrgresql maildrop courier amavisd etc could have problems? [20:31] looks like my issue is isolated to the eye of gnome application. It wants to save files from firefox with the wrong permissions. Ideas? [20:31] jeremymcs, FYI BIOS has a 2TB limit on standard MBR style partitions [20:31] I cant really figure out what is wrong, i just know php scrips that want to create thunmbnails can't for some reason. i cant figure out why for the life of me [20:31] ZykoticK9, i think its lame fstab's limit [20:31] lemme try parted [20:31] jeremymcs: perhaps its a 2TB partition and not the full disk try disk utility [20:32] dongbag: Most likely not, once they're _successfully_ updated. It's the process that might sometimes get hiccups. Those (or at least most of those) are very well tested applications, and shouldn't have problems if correctly configured. [20:32] jeremymcs, you need to use some fancy non-MBR to get > 2TB [20:32] <_numbers> how do i reset alsa in ubuntu 11.04 [20:33] anyone had any luck on uninstalling gnome shell? :) [20:33] metallico, gnome3? [20:33] yes [20:33] !gnome3 | metallico [20:33] metallico: 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. [20:33] <_numbers> things sound funny and im pretty sure if i could restart the alsa service it would work again [20:33] _numbers, what do you mean reset? what have you done? [20:33] metallico, reinstall everything and dont use [20:33] hi there. what is the easiest way to install a 2.6.39 kernel with ubuntu patches in ubuntu 11.04? [20:34] <_numbers> bazhang: sometimes when i open too many virtualbox with sound enabled, then they like fight or something and the sound gets choppy and ultra high-pitched almost unrecognizable [20:34] so do you think i will have to downgrade to php5.2.1 if I upgrade - is there any way i can select php to not install? [20:34] <_numbers> bazhang: the only fix i know is to reboot. but i wish i could restart alsa service [20:34] <_numbers> bazhang: only happens sometimes. not consistently reproducable [20:34] i've installed kde untill i finish something i am workin on and then will do a format. thanks [20:35] ppq: enable proposed in software sources [20:35] _numbers, http://knol.google.com/k/william-wynn/how-to-restart-alsa-sound-driver-in/3fegkfxlkmrqb/10# [20:36] <_numbers> ZykoticK9: sudo: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils: command not found [20:36] dongbag: I have no idea. If it's installed while upgrading, and the newer release doesn't have that version anymore, it will upgrade that too. [20:36] hi [20:36] _numbers, you could try "sudo service alsa-utils stop" instead [20:36] dongbag: Might wanna try askubuntu.com or the forums for that one, unless someone else here knows. Sorry! [20:36] <_numbers> ZykoticK9: alsa-utils: unrecognized service [20:36] <_numbers> and when i try to sudo apt-get install alsa-utils: alsa-utils is already the newest version. [20:37] <_numbers> its dif in natty for some reason [20:37] _numbers, really? that's odd. Sorry i can't help then. good luck. [20:37] thx really appreciate it :) [20:37] When using the Epiphany web browser, every time I start it up it brings up an annoying recovery dialogue. How do I disable this? It seems unnecessary when I've just closed the browser with one tab displaying the homepage. [20:37] _numbers, install alsa-base [20:37] <_numbers> sudo alsa force-reload [20:38] <_numbers> that worked [20:38] <_numbers> wohoo [20:38] dongbag: No prob. Sorry I couldn't be of assistance. [20:39] thx no worries , u were definitely of good assistance - cheers [20:39] what is the best why for xp linux a shared profile for thunderbird of two seperated [20:40] glda19, probably not the best idea. You could "possibly" rsync them? [20:40] robin0800: thanks, but natty-proposed doesn't contain 2.6.39 - the newest in there is 2.6.38-10 [20:40] glda19: my advice: don't "share", you will corrupt the settings for both [20:40] ZykoticK9, what is the best why [20:41] guntbert, but how can i do it than [20:41] glda19, i'm worried that the files aren't identical between MS/GNU-Linux - but they might be? [20:41] i guess i have to get the 2.6.39 sources from kernel.org, apply the ubuntu patches and build it by myself. where can i find the ubuntu patches for 2.6.39? [20:42] for tb no problem install on both tb and use the same profile [20:42] !kernel > ppq [20:42] ppq, please see my private message [20:42] glda19: I copied one profile and used that copy in the other system - finally I stopped using windows :-) [20:42] guntbert, nice answer :) :) [20:43] i have to use also windows guntbert [20:43] Hey I use 11.4 on a 1005PE and can't seem to get my built in SD card reader working. Does any one have any ideas? [20:43] <^Mike> If you have a 32-bit system, how much RAM will it see when you have 4GB? Does 2.8GB sound right? [20:43] registration at www.gsick.com now open! [20:43] glda19: ok, but then don't use thunderbird there [20:43] ^Mike, i thought it was 3.2 but could be wrong [20:44] why not guntbert [20:44] ^Mike: it should see all of it, because th einstaller will automatically install the PAE kernel [20:44] sarahh: what has that to do with ubuntu support? [20:44] somebody asked me about it here [20:44] hey, I have an http server listening on port 3000 of my local machine and I want it to be accessible from an external server by ssh proxy. I've tried the following: ssh -L 3333:remote-server:3000 remote-server [20:44] ^Mike, PAE is a "hack", if you have a 64bit CPU consider using 64bit OS [20:44] <^Mike> KM0201, ZykoticK9: do you know how I can check what type this system is? It's running ubuntu currently [20:45] ^Mike: what do you mean "what type of system this is"... [20:45] ZykoticK9: well, i've already read that. using the explained methods, i can only get the patched sources for 2.6.38 :( [20:45] ^Mike, "uname -a" and/or "lsb_release -a" for some info [20:45] ppq, sorry - i have no idea. [20:45] ^Mike: what exactly do you want to know, those two commands ZykoticK9 gave you will help w/ some info about the machine [20:45] ^Mike: cat /etc/issue [20:45] glda19: only from my negative experience: I nearly managed to loose all my stored mail, one side always complained ( ... already running but not responding....), I suspect it has to do with the different paths [20:46] <^Mike> i686 is 64, right? and i386 is 32 [20:46] ^Mike, no [20:46] ^Mike: i686 is NOT 64bit [20:46] ^Mike, no x86_64 is 64bit [20:46] ^Mike: amd64 is the technical name for 64bit [20:46] Hey I use 11.4 on a 1005PE and can't seem to get my built in SD card reader working. Does any one have any ideas?

Anyone know what config file is at fault so I can replace it? (I already tried sudo apt-get purge nautilus and reinstalling it.) [20:47] edbian, well - i guess that depends on my mood ;) I usually say amd64 ;) [20:47] amd is the owner of ati and a cpu mfgr [20:47] ^Mike: That's 64-bit system architecture. [20:47] ZykoticK9: I've seen both. I think amd64 is confusing [20:48] hi [20:48] how are you [20:48] <^Mike> astraljava: which is? [20:49] tot: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [20:49] tot, ubuntu support question? [20:49] bazhang: :) [20:49] hey guntbert :) [20:49] ^Mike: A few lines above. Like others already said, I just proved on CLI: $ uname -m -> x86_64 [20:50] buona sera a tutti [20:54] how do I prevent a drive to be loaded in the whole system in blacklist.conf ? is that all?

[20:59] ZykoticK9: yes it is, it won't stop ot? [20:59] n-iCe, "lsmod | grep rtl8187" show anything? [20:59] no [20:59] n-iCe, blacklist only stops modules, if it's built into the kernel, i doubt it would have any effect [20:59] ZykoticK9: what can I dot to remove it from the kernel? [20:59] hi, could I get some help setting up a vnc server on Mint? I know it's not Ubuntu but I can't find a good support community for Mint ATM. I installed tightvnc but I can't find any config files. When I start the server on :1 and connect I just get a gray screen [20:59] n-iCe, you don't... [21:00] n-iCe, it's obviously possible - but beyond me... good luck. [21:00] there are a number of tutorials you can find on Google about that [21:00] for some reason, my, just installed ubuntu server doesn't show tty1 when it starts, and i have to press ctrl+alt+f1 to get it to show up [21:01] jdevel: my problem is that all the tutorials I've found presuppose the existance of certain config files, which don't exist [21:01] !mintsupport | xil [21:01] xil: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:01] are you using X? [21:01] ZykoticK9: is the a drive a single file? or whole of folders and files?

[21:02] n-iCe, i imagine that "it depends", but if it's a kernel built-in, then it's not really a file at all (besides the kernel files) [21:02] can i somehow force a non-gui installer? [21:02] jdevel: ah...I'll go look for a gui then, haha. Right now I'm ssh'd into the would-be server doing everything through the terminal [21:02] xil.. http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/83 [21:03] or manually change the graphics mode the boot image will use?

I've read lots that says it's slow and bulky, and I kind of need speed and efficiency in this particular instance [21:04] bazhang: yes, but jdevel is helping me, so I figure I'll go with it [21:04] jdevel, see bazhang's comment above - applies to you as well [21:04] anyone know if there is an emulator (lke x3270) for Unisys UTS protocol?

[21:11] bazhang, yeah [21:11] jdevel: first error was "Error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found" followed by the Grub Rescue prompt [21:11] jdevel, what was taht for? lol [21:12] thought I had a url in my clipboard sorry all [21:13] tzhuang: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580752 [21:13] jdevel: After a quick serach on google, I tried to fix it by loading up the live cd (since I couldnt get any OS on my hdd to boot) and typing the following in a terminal [21:13] sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [21:13] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [21:14] I have been googleing around for a couple of days. Does anyone know where to find instructions for enabling XDMCP on an Ubuntu 11.04 server? Older instructions don't seem to apply. [21:14] jdevel: That was the first one I looked at. Afterwards,I got the error "error: file not found" followed by the grub rescue prompt [21:17] willichan, i certainly hope you don't use XDMCP over the internet (it's not secure!) [21:18] jdevel: After another search, I tried [21:18] sudo apt-get install lilo [21:18] sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr [21:18] Which after a reboot, at least let my WinXP boot from harddrive, but had no OS selection after BIOS. [21:18] @ZykoticK9: No. Internal only. We use it heavily on our IBM servers. [21:18] hey, I have an http server listening on port 3000 of my local machine and I want it to be accessible from an external server by ssh proxy. I've tried the following: ssh -L 3333:remote-server:3000 remote-server [21:19] Who can I message about a 11.04 install problem? D: [21:19] hello, i need help with something small [21:19] i left my laptop with lid closed for about 1.5 hours [21:20] and the gui seems frozen [21:20] the mouse isnt though [21:20] i can use ctrl+alt+f1 to get a shell [21:20] hence using irssi to come here [21:21] any idea how i could force the gui to restart? [21:21] mc_teo`, assuming you don't have anything important that needs saving, you could restart Xorg with "sudo service gdm restart" [21:21] Looking for some help with regards to 11.04 install problems. [21:22] Hi. I know how to select a custom icon for a folder, but I don't know where to look. I'm on 10.04 [21:22] mc_teo`, alternatively from Xorg you could use alt+printscreen+k to restart Xorg [21:22] so yeah, that worked [21:22] but what could of caused the problem? [21:23] ray9na: /usr/share/icons perhaps? [21:23] mc_teo, solar flairs (BOFH answer) ;) === ozior_ is now known as ozi_pisze_bloga [21:24] astraljava: those are good for adding program/app buttons. Do you know where I'd find the folder icons that are used for Documents, Music, Pictures, etc? === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:25] ray9na, you might want to check /usr/share/pixmaps [21:26] ray9na, actually i don't see the folders there either... [21:26] ZykoticK9: i was just there and not finding anything appropriate. I'm looking for folder icons with indicators on them, but all i see are non-folder images [21:27] I thought I'd go into properties for my Pictures folder and see where its icon comes from, but the directory it took me to was merely the last place I'd been before, not its source :( [21:27] what would be the difference between sudo iwconfig wlan1 rate 5.5M auto and sudo iwconfig wlan1 rate 5.5M fixed [21:29] I installed LXDE and when I turn on transparency for either 'gnome-terminal' or LXDE's 'lxterminal' it shows the purple-ish background from Ubuntu's modified GDM and not my wallpaper. Any ideas where to start trouble shooting this or a possible fix? [21:30] ray9na: it's in the icon themes "places" folder [21:30] It is very annoying [21:30] VCoolio: I'll look... [21:30] ray9na: and the folders it uses are defined in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [21:30] aga87 [21:30] I need to set up XDMCP for some of our Windows users to run applications on the server from their desktops. They are already set up to do it for our IBM servers, so I don't want to switch to a different method for the Ubuntu server. Has anyone found a way to set up XDMCP for 11.04 server? [21:31] willichan, IF you don't get an answer here, you might want to try #ubuntu-server [21:31] gohdan: is it true or fake transparancy? if the latter, set root desktop image with esetroot or I forgot what other alternative [21:32] @ZykoticK9: Thank you. I will try there. [21:33] VCoolio: well, "true" transparency is kinda tricky for X and I havent invested that much time in it. so. i am going to assume it is "fake". [21:33] gohdan: what is the output of: lsb_release -d [21:33] Pici: question? [21:34] ActionParsnip: im on maverick so, "Description: Ubuntu 10.10" [21:34] not moving to natty until unity is all sorted out properly [21:34] gohdan: try xsetroot -solid blueviolet just to check if it's fake transparancy [21:35] VCoolio: let me log into the other DE [21:35] gohdan: you can log into Ubuntu Classic desktop and it will look like the Maverick desktop you use now [21:35] gohdan: well, unity isn't ever gonna get all "sorted out"... [21:35] KM0201: :3 [21:36] which is what the command to the kernel's [21:36] gohdan: embrace the change now... cuz after 11.10, comes gnome 3, which is likely to be a similar train wreck as unity. [21:36] which is what the command to the kernel's [21:36] tobi__: that's not a full question [21:36] gohdan: we honestly may see some pretty crappy Ubuntu's until 12.04, or maybe even 12.10 [21:36] tobi__, to load kernel modules? [21:37] tobi__, otherwise that question makes no sense [21:37] KM0201: at which point i shall learn the joy of xfce, LXDE and the myriad of other WMs [21:37] gohdan: or you can use LXDE and unity won't load by default [21:37] KM0201, Gnome3 is being included in 11.10 [21:37] yes [21:37] hey I'm trying to find the noise level of my wireless network -- wavemon says to press F1, but if I do, gnome terminal help comes up. What should I do to press F1 in the terminal [21:37] gohdan: http://www.lubuntu.net :) (it becomes an official canonical release in November w/ 11.10... embrace the horror) [21:37] but anyway.... hang on and let me boot into LXDE [21:37] Daekdroom: i know, thats what i said. [21:37] tobi__, you mean uname -a ? [21:37] tobi__: to load kernel modules run: sudo modprobe modulename [21:38] KM0201, You said "after", I read it as "in the release after" [21:38] ok thx [21:38] sorr [21:38] how do you press F1 within terminal/ [21:38] I keep getting the Errno5 when trying to install from a USB stick. Apparently, it's related to my bad dvd drive. Do you think it would go away if I yanked out the bad drive entirely? [21:38] no, what i mean is.. by the time 11.10 comes out, unity is probably still gonna be reasonably crappy, then we're gonna be dealing w/ gnome 3 issues. [21:38] I forgot [21:38] Well, thanks guys. It's not an important issue and I'm not getting anywhere, so I'll try again later. [21:40] hm, the installer aborts saying it couldn't configre apt to install mroe packages from the cd. which is probably true, because tehre is no cd, there's a usb stick. [21:40] how do i work around that?? [21:40] would any one tell me : is there any software like photoshop of windows? [21:40] GIMP [21:40] sktn07: Gimp is what photoshop is actually based on [21:40] Duesentrieb: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the stick? [21:41] ActionParsnip: nope. probably should have, i guess :) [21:41] Duesentrieb: yep [21:41] !hashes | Duesentrieb [21:41] Duesentrieb: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [21:41] hm... would be nice if usb-creator asked for that or better, just did that [21:41] corrytonapple: got a link to back that up? Not heard that before [21:42] Yeah, one minute. [21:42] well, gives me an opportunity to see if windows still comes up after resizing the partition :) [21:42] corrytonapple: very curious and interested :) [21:42] ActionParsnip, here it is: http://www.gimp.org/ [21:42] sktn07: and if Gimp's interfact puts you off there is a version called Gimpshop that use the same menu and dialogs that photoshop does [21:42] ActionParsnip: you don't think it has a problem finding the correct device for the usb key (or rather, the mount point of the iso)? [21:42] It is available in the Ubuntu Software Center [21:42] but you cannot run the two version on the same machind [21:43] i'm trying to run a program in a chroot but keep getting this while inside the program... http://pastebin.com/006F7Rye [21:43] in 2.7 they finally added a single window mode [21:43] what should I do? [21:43] ActionParsnip, Photoshot is certainly NOT based on The Gimp - would be a GPL violation if it was. corrytonapple [21:43] yeah, doesn't seem likely [21:43] Duesentrieb: if the file is bad then any attempts to resolve will be for nought as the data is bad [21:43] ZykoticK9: indeed [21:44] Why would that be a GPL violation exactly? [21:44] ActionParsnip: well, it *booted* fine from the stick. and ran the partition editor. and started the rest of the setup. [21:44] if just bailed out when "trying to install more packages" [21:44] scb, no source code for PhotoShop [21:44] and it didn't set up grub [21:44] Duesentrieb: doesn't matter, the data to boot may be fine but the rest could have errors [21:44] ZykoticK9: GPL doesn't require you to release code. [21:45] ZykoticK9: That is what I was told [21:45] corrytonapple, except GIMP is there any other software? [21:45] ActionParsnip: yea, i *am* checking the md5 now, of course [21:45] scb, actually that IS a requirement [21:45] corrytonapple, you where told something incorrect [21:45] Not that I know of. take a look in the Ubuntu software center. [21:45] sktn07: krita is one [21:45] ZykoticK9, thanks for clearing that up for me [21:45] corrytonapple: Photoshop was first released in 1990, Gimp only surfaced in 1996 [21:46] ActionParsnip: the checksum is fine. [21:46] any other ideas? [21:46] I keep getting an error in my chroot while trying to run a program... here's the output http://pastebin.com/006F7Rye. Anyone know what's up? [21:47] Duesentrieb: cool, then I'd test RAM using the USB stick so you know all is good [21:47] hey guys i got emergency [21:47] grub rescue :( [21:47] lasha: Okay, then ask your question? [21:47] !rescue | lasha [21:47] lasha: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [21:47] i am on different computer right now. it says GRUB loading. [21:48] Welcomg to Grub [21:48] * sktn07 corrytonapple,thanks:) [21:48] Corey, isn't that kinda old? [21:48] KujaxSword-, "cannot find card '0' " is certainly the issue - but i don't really "know" what that means, other then it's looking for an audio card name 0 - which is unlikely [21:48] error" no such device: some code... [21:48] You are welcome sktn07! :) [21:48] lasha: "Some code" would be what? [21:48] ActionParsnip: you mean run memtest for a few hours? seriously? [21:48] Entering rescue mode... grub resque> [21:48] well, i guess it'S a good idea anyway for a new box... [21:48] lasha: Sounds like it cannot see your HDDs [21:48] Duesentrieb: no just let a few of the tests run [21:48] does anybody know if there is a possibility to conect a hexaglot scan translator on pc for repair pixeland programm errors? [21:48] ye i just formatted the partitian with mint [21:49] ZykoticK9, hmm [21:49] but grub should be on my other ssd too [21:49] lasha: We unfortunately don't support Mint here. :-/ [21:49] I know. Boot up your live CD and you should be able to run (I am not positive) but you need to reload grub [21:49] Hi, I have a strange issue: When I watch a video on youtube and close Firefox, the last image of the flash video is somehow stored. When I open a video file afterwards, everywhere the video should be completely black the flash image shines through. Also when viewing PDF's and the text should be black. This makes it very hard to read. After a reboot, the image has disappeared. Is there a way... [21:49] ...to get rid of it without rebooting? (Ubuntu 10.10, btw) Thanks [21:49] ActionParsnip: interesting. it says the ram has 0 mhz. and is noding nothing. [21:49] Corey I got ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7 left so :D [21:49] Zykotick9, is there anything i can do to figure that out? === brian is now known as Guest44841 === Guest44841 is now known as BrianOfTacoma [21:49] *doing even [21:49] KujaxSword-, i'm sure there is - but i'm not aware of it ;) Best of luck. [21:50] callaghan: Sounds like screen burn in. Is it like that in any other OS? [21:50] looks like memtest doesn't like the hardware [21:50] Do you have a CRT monitor [21:50] thinkpad t420s [21:50] it's actually frozen. can't get out of memtest [21:50] i prolly just need to update grub so how do i do that, something like sudo update grub 2? [21:50] sudo update grub [21:50] i just dont know exact syntax [21:50] Duesentrieb: interesting stuff huh, do you have multiple RAM sticks? [21:50] I think [21:50] corrytonapple: It was not in 10.04, wait, I'll upload a picture (cause in screenshot everything looks ok) [21:51] Why a screenshot then? [21:51] ActionParsnip: hm, i'm not sure, but i think it has 2x3GB [21:51] lasha: sudo apt-get install grub2-common [21:51] ActionParsnip: thank u :) [21:51] Duesentrieb: try removing a stick then retest (as long as you don't damage any warranties) [21:51] (i *am* sure it'S 6gb total) [21:51] What is the best way to sync music on my Ubuntu computer with music on my Android phone? [21:52] lasha, "sudo update-grub2" is the command [21:52] BrianOfTacoma: rsync, generally. [21:52] ActionParsnip: not going to open the box. company computer, with warranty and stuff. === Alexander is now known as rainbow [21:52] is it in Synaptic? [21:52] Duesentrieb: yeah I always add that :) === rainbow is now known as fluttershy [21:52] ActionParsnip: i could try to break windows, blame it on the ram and have an engineer visit me at home tomorrow ;) [21:52] BrianOfTacoma: could use ubuntu one [21:52] ok i ll switch to other compy now with live usb [21:53] cheese [21:53] I am not looking for streaming ... I just want the files to be the same when I update computer [21:53] Duesentrieb: are you using 64bit Ubuntu or 32bit Ubuntu? [21:53] ActionParsnip: 32bit [21:53] ...and subsequently connect the phone [21:53] vanilla i386 desktop [21:53] Duesentrieb: hmm, try 64bit, It will see your RAM as one block [21:53] Duesentrieb: 32bit will need PAE to hit all the RAM [21:53] ActionParsnip: ok, worth a try [21:53] corrytonapple, go to link http://imagebin.org/161603 [21:53] * Duesentrieb goes to download [21:54] ActionParsnip: thanks for the help [21:55] I'm currently running fedora, but I want to make a liveusb flash drive to install ubuntu. How do I do this? (Obviously, I need the LiveCD image) [21:55] please go http://imagebin.org/161603 make me out from problem [21:55] corrytonapple: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/823/20110705154020.jpg/ That's what it looks like. The youtube picture should not be there. If I take a screenshot, it is not there.... any ideas? [21:56] DartmanX: https://launchpad.net/usb-creator [21:56] DartmanX: Would unetbootin work in fedora? [21:56] sktn07: What is that about? [21:57] what to do to fix chess in 3d mode? [21:57] astraljava: apparently not [21:57] Oh wow callaghan. That comes through well [21:57] sktn07: do you use compiz / effects etc? [21:58] IDK about how to help with that. It seems like a bug maybe. [21:58] what that are? [21:58] sktn07, i'd try installing both python-opengl & python-gtkglext1 [21:58] sktn07: the effects on the desktop like cube desktop, wobbly windows etc. Do you use Unity? [21:58] hey guys i am back [21:59] no [21:59] corrytonapple: I guess it's just the flash plugin screwing things up as usual... Thanks for taking a look :) [21:59] cant just use update grub command [21:59] sktn07: Open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install python-opengl && python-gtklext` [21:59] i think i need to mount device i need to install it on [21:59] there is a one at the end of that.... [21:59] sktn07: you need 3D accelleration to get 3D chess. What is the output of: lsb_release -d; lspci | grep -i vga [21:59] callaghan, You are Welcome. Flash is buggy, especially in 64-bit [21:59] corrytonapple, you install command is incorrect. sktn07 [22:00] ActionParsnip: i am the grub rescue problem guy from 3 mins ago :D [22:00] I know.... I messed up. Trying to think too much [22:00] callaghan: you can use 64bit flash in 64bit Ubuntu, it's not buggy at allcall [22:00] corrytonapple, no && for sure! [22:00] output is: Description: Ubuntu 9.10 [22:00] sudo apt-get install python-opengl python-gtklext1 [22:00] what method(s) do you guys use to backup your data? (one of my harddrives crashed, so basically my data is gone!) [22:00] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Pineview Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [22:01] or software [22:01] That is it. Sorry, I was doing my own work on this computer. I was putting one and another together [22:01] callaghan: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [22:01] sktn07: karmic support is dead [22:01] so does anyone know how to install grub on hard drive with live session ?

The only thing i can do is move the mouse around. keyboard is disabled and i cannot click anything. The only way to solve it is to cut the power and loose all changes. This is very annoying, and actually happ [22:09] ens quite often. How can i find out what goes wrong so that i may solve it? [22:09] sktn07, sorry. I mean the Ubuntu site [22:09] And also why are newly opened windows not in focus? [22:09] Diverdude1: does it happen as all users? [22:09] I've just decompresed a program form a taz.bz2 file within the download directory before install it would be better move it to anohter directory [22:10] to be organized [22:10] ActionParsnip, hmm im not sure, i only have 1 user running, which is me [22:10] Diverdude1: make another to test [22:11] what os do you use? [22:11] so, i tried VCoolio's tip on "xsetroot" (guess after he bailed) and it accomplishes nothing [22:11] ActionParsnip, what if it happens to all users? [22:11] Diverdude1: then its the app, not the settings you have [22:12] daniel do you talk to me?

[22:13] okok im sorry [22:13] sktn07, You extract it to wherever you want. Then, there should be an install script [22:13] can someone help me?

What's the difference between flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree? [22:14] callaghan: flashplugin-nonfree just installs the package you already had, not sure.

I realize that its a basic program, but I'm wondering why it all of a sudden stopped working. Perhaps I killed a dependency, but that should have been fixed on a reinstall, which didn't occur.

[23:55] ... [23:55] aabbccdwe: yes! we see you! [23:55] Regarding Ubuntu 11.04 installation: I partitioned around 100MB as a boot partition for which I specified to mount /boot. I then said to install the bootloader to sda7 (the boot partition). During the installation, the installer said I could not install the bootloader to the partition. The gui wouldn't work at that point so I was forced to reboot. Then I tried to install Grub2 manually through a terminal to no avail. The error I get is "Sector 50 is already in [23:55] tnx [23:55] na its not that something is wrong with my dvd player [23:56] just for anyone who was listening in earlier and was curious or may want to know [23:56] <_asdf_> seems good... he is downgreading something [23:56] I found a program in Ubuntu Software Centre which allows me to convert my audio files already on my drive to MPC === derp|gone is now known as derp [23:56] its called "SoundKonverter" it uses a KDE interface [23:57] seems to do the job, hope its usefull for someone lol [23:58] hi [23:59] <[mickey]> hey everyone: any idea what's causing or how I could fix this: BUG: "unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffc" [23:59] <[mickey]> ? [23:59] hmmm.. I'm pretty sure the command 'os-discover' existed at some point, I used it myself once.. anyone have an idea where it's gone? I don't even find it w/ apt-file search [23:59] <_asdf_> it think it worked! i cant thank you enough!
