[00:02] omfg after all this time i think i fixed this BS [00:02] I am attempting a USB install on an HP mini 311. Upon boot,, the system freezes at the boot menu. Any advice? Haven't found anything helpful on my own. [00:02] thanks guys but grub is a real headache [00:02] lasha: it's 'os-prober' [00:02] aabbccdwe, al i know there is a wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto [00:03] seems I misremembered the name [00:03] Can anyone help me with this: [00:03] 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 === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [00:04] thanks for the link.

[00:07] can i rate limit the bandwidth usage of apt? [00:07] Looks like we are stuck with the Unity dock? Can't move it in 11.04 nor is it planned to be moved in 11.10 .. Saw a note from Mark Shuttleworth: “I’m afraid the location of the Unity launcher is fixed by design. We want the launcher always close to the Ubuntu button.” .. anyone know of a hack to hide it? [00:07] what's the best partition type to use for windows / linux cross-compatibility? [00:07] 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. [00:08] 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. [00:08] The error I get is "Sector 50 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it. This software may cause boot or other problems in the future. Please ask its authors not to store data in the boot track." [00:08] tzhuang: no need to make a mountain out of a molehill, just put grub on the mbr.. [00:09] KM0201: thanks i'll look into that [00:10] , [00:10] KM0201: Do you know why it wouldn't let me install grub into my boot partition? I was told it was good partitioning pracitce to have a separate boot partition. [00:10] tzhuang: i've been using linux for almost 7yrs, and never one time have I set up a /boot partition for grub.. [00:11] // [00:11] KM0210: iwas following one of the partition schemes on the ubuntu website, the example it gave specified a boot parititon of about 100MB [00:12] Installing via USB is causing hand at boot menu on my HP Mini 311. Any advive? [00:12] I want to remove games on my lubuntu so I went to Synaptic Package Manager and "mark for complete removal", after that it tells me "Mark additional required changes? the chosen action also affects other packages. the following changes are required in order to proceed. To be removed: lubuntu-desktop cancel/mark" do i select it and mark or just hit mark, what will happen, will it remove my lubuntu desktop? [00:13] !tell Qinxu about alternate [00:13] Qinxu, please see my private message [00:14] Qinxu: should you be in hosiptial ?~ you just lost a hand ;p ~j/k just you haven't make a boot USB successfully ~ try other method of make it. [00:15] gohdan. I am using USB boot [00:16] I am using the specified method. It bppts and gives me the menu. It hangs when I hit a key. [00:16] So... I'm scp'ing a small file (3 MB) over to my account on a server, and scp gets to 100%. I wait a few seconds and I get a cursor back in my shell but no prompt. It then takes another two minutes, nearly, to get my prompt back. Is that just a result of buffering or something in the transfer? [00:16] I'm guessing 100% shown by the progress display was only referring to 100% of it having entered the buffer, and it hadn't actually been all transferred at that point. [00:16] what's the best partition type to use for windows / linux cross-compatibility? [00:16] err, filesystem type [00:17] hello [00:17] squarebracket: you don't have choose ~ FAT32/ ntfs is all windows can use [00:17] squarebracket: you can use ext3 if you install the appropriate drivers in windows === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest4676 [00:17] I used the same stick to insyall on my Eee 900 [00:18] ? [00:18] ok, so between fat32, ntfs and ext3, which is the best to use? it'll mostly be for storage / backup; windows and linux OS's have their own partitions | wildbat gohdan [00:19] or does it even matter if performance isn't a huge issue? [00:20] Hello, I'm running Gnome3 in Ubuntu 11.04 and I am trying to figure out what the old "Apperance" program was, as it is no longer installed. [00:20] tofaffy: gnome-apperance-manager iirc [00:20] squarebracket: i would pick ntfs ~ i don't like ext3 under wins ~ it mount as ext2 ~ fat32 is kinda outdated ~ not files >2GB. [00:20] squarebracket: ntfs doesnt have the limitations of fat32 and ext isnt native to windows. (although ntfs isnt native to *nix either) ntfs would be the "sane" choice [00:20] squarebracket: Whatever you're using natively. So, backup the Windows to NTFS, and the Linux to ext3. [00:20] tofaffy: *properties not manager [00:21] aeon-ltd: That isn't installed, and isn't available in the repos. [00:21] tonyyarusso, sure, but that would require separate partitions. i don't want to have to juggle partition size, cuz that's /never/ an easy task [00:22] wildbat, gohdan thanks for your help [00:22] "ifconfig" in terminal = "bash: ifconfig: command not found" .. using arch. any ideas? [00:22] tofaffy: its part of gnome control centre [00:22] i know i'm missing a package for it. just don't know which one :/ [00:23] simpleblue: this is an ubuntu support channel. if you need arch support please use their channel [00:23] gohdan, the programs would be similiar, but i'll leave if you want me to [00:23] simpleblue, i've heard arch is a bit difficult, good luck! :) [00:24] i'm finding that out, lol [00:24] simpleblue: they are radically different. and we can not support another distro here. particularly one with such poor security and pkg management practices [00:24] i'm trying to find someone who might be interested in coding a blog, staying on for support and hopefully making some money in the long term [00:24] alright gohdan, tc [00:24] westz: have you seen my blog? http://www.pkill-9.com [00:24] and yeah, i know this isnt the channel for that [00:26] squarebracket: arch is pretty easy. a lazy mans gentoo [00:26] gohdan, HA [00:26] My sister tried to install Gentoo. She cried. [00:26] gohdan, hahaha [00:26] that's one way of putting it :) [00:27] gohdan, just as difficult as gentoo really, but a better package manager (imho) [00:27] What's the best file system for sharing between Ubuntu and OS X? [00:28] RPG-Master: what's your criteria for "best" ? [00:28] Besides FAT and its limited self. [00:28] westz: packman _is_ pretty nice.. all those unsigned pkgs it pulls in.... not so much [00:28] RPG-Master: and define "sharing" too [00:29] hello [00:29] westz: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2011/02/19/archs-dirty-little-notso-secret/ [00:29] StevenR: Well, something other than NTFS, but is still easily read able between the two, on an external HDD. [00:29] is there anyway to get the current state of the messages (chat, mail) indicator? [00:30] Unless NTFS is the only easy-to-set-up-and-read FS... [00:30] RPG-Master: so, really you mean "What FS should I use for my external hard disk to allow my mac and my ubuntu box to read it" ? [00:30] preferably in C... but in pyton will also do it... [00:30] StevenR: Sorry, yeah that about sums it up. [00:31] Listening to metal while writing... [00:31] westz, gohdan, i've actually debated trying arch just because packman sounds intriguing... but that security issue is good to know [00:31] It messes with ya' [00:31] RPG-Master: it's cool, just making sure I captured your question correctly :) ... you might try the mac-native fs (HFS+ or whatever it's called?) I think the Linux kernel can read that [00:32] StevenR: Googling it now... [00:32] RPG-Master: or there might be a fuse package for it [00:32] squarebracket: it is even more troubling because the arch lead dev has been rooted on numerous occasions... because of changes he and his teams have made to pkgs in the repo defaulting to the least secure settings, and overwritting any secure confs a user previously had [00:32] RPG-Master: sudo apt-cache search hfs suggests a few things too [00:33] squarebracket, dont let that get to you, it's a very upstream distro so it's inevitable. it's a really good distro, i used it until i broke it, but i didnt have the time to get it set up again (no internet at home, and i leave for the military in a week) [00:33] StevenR: I have read about this MacFuse thing, and how it'll let you use most file systems on a Mac. But I couldn't figure out how to set it up. [00:33] RPG-Master: it's probably easier to let the mac use something native, and let the ubuntu box deal with it :) [00:34] StevenR: Probably. :P [00:34] gohdan, WOW... that's crazy [00:34] westz, maybe i'll set it up in a vm.. just to play it safe :) [00:36] squarebracket: bettter drop a vm in a vm in a vm to be sure. after all... its arch :3 [00:39] StevenR: Scratch that. Linux can only read HFS+. Linux /can/ write, but you first must turn off journaling. Not good... [00:39] gohdan, don't worry, i'll throw windows in the mix somewhere... just to throw them off the scent ;) [00:39] How does a program get into the Ubuntu repository? Who is in charge of updating the repository when a new version of a program comes out? [00:41] oh man, i'm excited to try running the source engine under linux... finally getting a decent install of ubuntu going on my desktop [00:41] ubuntunoobie2903: a majority of the pkgs come from the upstream debian repo. the people in charge of updates in ubuntu are the ubuntu package maintainers (aka ubuntu developers) [00:43] So when someone comes out with a new version of their program, are they responsible for submitting that update? Does the update have to be approved? [00:45] ubuntunoobie2903 i believe it does have to be approved otherwise some programmers can put bad code on your computer [00:45] ubuntunoobie2903: the maintainer is in charge of obtaining the package, approving, testing, configuring and patching it to work with ubuntu. [00:46] gohdan, how hard is it to get vetted as a maintainer? i remember at one point there was a package that was not actively maintained, and i wanted to see if i could package it. [00:48] hi, is there any self-installing software for ubuntu vpn? because openvpn and fppt dont work neither connect in my ubuntu [00:48] squarebracket: you start off by bug squashing and building a name in the community. eventually you can request or be offered a mentorship and begin that way. [00:49] <[THC]AcidRain> vfd [00:49] gohdan: So how do I figure out who is maintaining a particular package? [00:49] RPG-Master: in that case, it's probably the mac-fuse thing you need to look at then, or a format both can read. [00:49] RPG-Master: I'm gone now. (it's nearly 2am here!) [00:50] StevenR: Thanks and goodnight. :) [00:50] i believe there is a nice episode about this process on the "This Week in Debian" podcast. | ubuntunoobie2903 squarebracket [00:50] hi, is there any self-installing software for ubuntu vpn? because openvpn and fppt network vpn dont work neither connect in my ubuntu [00:51] so, is there anyway (in C or Python) to get the state of the messages indicator in 11.04? I mean, to know if there's a notification or not? [00:51] ubuntunoobie2903: http://packages.ubuntu.com/distro/package - e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/pisg - it displays the maintainer in the right column. [00:51] gohdan, oh cool, thanks for the tip [00:51] ubuntunoobie2903: the developer in charge of a pkg is noted on packages.ubuntu.com [00:52] it may be in the documentation pulled down by dpkg too [00:53] gohdan: thanks === ticaozinho is now known as tdutra [00:56] Hi, Im having trouble configuring comcast wireless with mint 11, anyone want to help? [00:57] asdf486: comcast wireless? [00:57] although, i am not privy to how difficult it is to break in as an ubuntu developer. most of them are the original debian maintainers and canonical just rsyncs the repo but ubuntu does have many pf there own. debian is the most accessible and easy distro to become active in.

Can someone help me? [01:30] Guest52836: What is your problem? What site you referring to? [01:30] oyster: dont ask to ask, just ask [01:30] oyster: If you ask. [01:31] bazhang, you wanted me to enter my printer model in the printer database, right?

Then it won't replace Windows, I will have the option to boot from either Windows or Linux at startup, right? [01:32] oyster, Right. [01:32] oyster, thats wubi, so yes [01:32] Gryllida: how do i post bin here? [01:33] I am creating a chef recipe to install postfix. I would like to install postfix via aptitutde and automatically select the "No Configuration" option that pops up in the ncurses dialog. Is there any way to do that programatically?

[01:36] asdf630: paste the output in here [01:36] I get this when i try to uninstall ffmpeg http://paste.ubuntu.com/638634/ (ill mention that i did have it before, but after trying to get a good video editor i must have done something wrong) [01:36] Simon___: I'm no expert, but make sure that you have any SAMBA requirments that there might be. [01:36] correction install [01:37] I did run SAMBA and made an exception for it in my Firewall. [01:37] Simon___: You may need to setup a host file with the names of devices, or run a DNS server [01:37] I don't see 10.04 (non-LTS) on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [01:37] Man, that's all way beyond me [01:37] Am I missing something? [01:37] tom719co: there is no 10.04 non-LTS [01:37] Or maybe a DNS client rather than server, I'm sure someone here knows. [01:37] ok so what is the oldest free version of Ubuntu? [01:37] I wonder why the native "Install New Printer" sequence doesn't work [01:37] that is still supported [01:38] tom719co: all versions of *buntu are free [01:38] tom719co: why do you need to know that? [01:38] szal: but isnt LTS long time support - paid support? [01:38] tom719co: no [01:38] I want to set the ability to drag windows into other virtual desktops, but I can't find any virtual desktop settings in 11.04 studio, anyone got suggestions? [01:38] LTS says nothing about paid or not [01:38] Anyone know how to update your version of ubuntu if you use wubi [01:38] tom719co: it just means that the release will be maintained [01:39] ubun: because I have a Ubuntu 9.04 system and I don't want to upgrade it all the way to current version.. but instead to the oldest supported version [01:39] is there a way to remove duplicate songs from Banshee? [01:39] so how do they make any money at all? [01:39] Simon___: Might need some additional config for network printing, however alas, I did manage to setup network printing and file sharing on my last incarnation of Ubuntu, by following a guide I found online, and I'm no wiz. I wish I had the link, but it was in google toolbar which I can get anymore :-( [01:39] tom719co: oldest supported is 10.04 i do believe. [01:39] tom719co: have you tried 10.04 [01:39] that's what my plan was [01:39] 10.04 [01:39] always they want a real ip why why why in this site ? becase they are the dictators of this site but they are anonymous for the another users always [01:40] on the desktop: 10.04 LTS, for server use: 8.04 LTS is still supported as well [01:40] tom719co: is it a question of old hardware? [01:40] I kept all my bookmarks in google toolbar, now I can't install it with the new firefox. sux [01:40] ubun: it's a server and i dont want to take an unneccasry risk [01:40] Hi there [01:40] tom719co: i dont know anything about that. [01:40] How can I get a list of packages that I can install with apt? [01:41] ubun: it's a production server [01:41] tom719co: then you should run debian stable [01:41] i.e. list all packages starting with foo* [01:41] gohdan: i didnt pick the OS.. [01:41] !network printing [01:41] so can anyone help me figure this out -----> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638634/ [01:41] Can I fairly safely replace one Ubuntu installation with another? [01:42] EmuAlert: define "fairly safely" [01:42] EmuAlert: and replace in what manner? [01:42] in windows i can be anonymous ever because i have many vpn clients but in ubuntu i only can be anonymous with a vpn client to run with wine, why? [01:43] KM0201: As in, wipe the current Ubuntu installation and replace it entirely, while keeping the same parition size and not screwing up my other partitions [01:43] Shariff: use apt-cache [01:43] EmuAlert: its very easy... if you pay attention.; [01:43] tom719co: there is no supported upgrade path from 9.04 to 10.04 any more, so you basically have 2 options: keep 9.04 running but be aware that it's out of support, or reinstall w/ 10.04, that'll keep you running till 12.04, upgrade to which will be supported, or till approx. spring 2015 at the latest [01:44] tom719co: see the guide I gave you [01:44] EmuAlert: then, yes. you should also probably use a separate '/home' partition [01:44] gohdan: not really [01:45] how ubuntu can be sure if is so difficult to install a vpn client native? [01:45] szal/tsimpson: i'm getting conflicting information ... the link shows an upgrade path to 10.04 still. I dont *require* it to be upgraded fully.. It's just that I couldn't install anything. But after using the sources.list provided in the EOL document, I can now install what I needed.. So I'm not sure if I should proceed [01:46] ANONYMOUSIP: there is no such thing as anonymity on the Internet; there'll always be a way to find out your IP, you can only make it more difficult [01:46] tom719co: you should, as you will get no security updates with 9.04 [01:47] Could anyone help me figure out where scid is putting its configuration file. The program has an error at start up because it is trying to execute an invalid command, it promptly freezes, and automatically closes out. I have tried permanently removing the package, restarting, searching for any scid files and deleting them, but when I reinstall it still executes the invalid command (open a chess engine that I was tr [01:47] ying to get it to run) and crashes. I can't find the damn ghost of a configuration file. [01:47] szal ok but my vpn client in ubuntu with wine is the most sure of all? [01:48] ANONYMOUSIP: running anything in wine on *nix is almost certainly not "sure" at all [01:48] whatever "sure" is supposed to mean in this context [01:48] indeed [01:48] ANONYMOUSIP: why on earth would you run a vpn clien tw/ wine? that seems extremely reckless [01:48] Wow, Team Fortress 2 is now free! [01:49] Figures, when I mature and actually start paying for games instead of stealing them, they become free. [01:49] * gohdan insert copying is not theft argument here [01:49] ANONYMOUSIP: also, the purpose of a VPN is not anonymity but inability for 3rd parties to break into sensitive connections [01:50] yeah but i only have in ubuntu this vpn althoug be a risk to run with wine in ubuntu [01:50] although [01:52] ANONYMOUSIP: 'apt-cache search vpn' stop running things in wine [01:53] ANONYMOUSIP: if you're that concerned about security, the last thing i wouold do, is run a VPN via wine [01:53] for now only with wine in ubuntu i can have a vpn for ubuntu why why why becase im very silly for use ubuntu native? [01:53] ANONYMOUSIP, please stop asking this [01:54] bazhang ok but i can have a vpn client for ubuntu for now [01:54] ANONYMOUSIP, first of all, its not possible to do in wine, as the helpers in #winehq have told you. [01:54] i cant [01:55] ANONYMOUSIP: I believe the point is that while Ubuntu is relativley secure, windows is not and niether is Wine. [01:55] ANONYMOUSIP: you can't what? [01:55] ParadigmUltra: bingo... [01:55] ANONYMOUSIP, thats enough [01:55] bazhang can you see my network now ? [01:56] i use a vpn with wine now is true [01:56] 5 [01:56] since ubuntu [01:56] ANONYMOUSIP: i already gave you a command to find native vpn solutions for ubuntu. or you can search the ubuntu package archive at packages.ubuntu.com. the options are legion. otherwise, please stop asking this question after we have given you plenty of answers to your question [01:57] * KM0201 knew that was coming [01:57] :D [01:58] what is the rdp port on ubuntu? [01:58] Is it just me, or is everything just more pleasant in Ubuntu? [01:58] When it works, anyway [01:59] ParadigmUltra: more pleasant than where? [02:00] nevermind :] [02:01] It's a bit more fun than my windows 7. Maybe it's all the free apps to explore, or how my transparant triangle of virtual desktops with an animated panaramic nature background makes me feel like I'm in the woods. I dunno. [02:02] bazhang ; someone modify this vpn to run on wine with Ubuntu I downloaded the file and works better than windows [02:03] thetrue: lol... you just can't let it go. [02:03] so i'm tryin to upgrade 9.04 to 9.10, but get: [02:04] "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool." [02:04] why isnt it trying to upgrade to Karmic?

[02:30] alexleon: http://www.openprinting.org/printers [02:30] perhaps someone should put that in a factoid [02:30] !printing [02:30] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

I don't use it myself [02:33] i2iot: ardour [02:33] so I've heard. I've had to mess only with standard oss and alsa myself [02:34] Thanks, will check it out! [02:34] i2iot: might also want to consult the package list for ubuntu studio edition [02:34] wierd we both used the same phrase [02:34] hamnegga: it does, but install the -rt (or was it -lowlatency?) kernel & run the stuff w/ JACK & you'll be surprised what you can get out of it [02:35] hamnegga: provided you have decent hardware, that is [02:36] I was actually just thinking of compiling and trying linux-3.0-rc5 [02:36] Is there anything I need to consider in compiling the kernel for amd64, or should that be fine, make make modules etc. [02:37] * szal would guess that somebody else already got their hands dirty w/ kernel 3.0 & you just need to search for a PPA that has it [02:37] !kernel [02:37] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [02:37] I don't have a dedicated sound card, just nforce 6150SE [02:38] Can someone help me with this [02:38] Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory. This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs out of memory. [02:38] You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it is normally controlled by /etc/security/limits.conf [02:38] I wanna see ubuntu get some nvidia drivers that'll support both onboard and dedicated GPU's, simultaneously, for CUDA purposes. I use CUDA with my GTX 460, but unlike windows, x won't boot unless I disable the onboard card [02:39] i2iot: it should be fine under most circumstances. [02:40] can Ardour run w/o JACK? because installing JACK should modify limits.conf automatically (it did here) [02:42] The point is to use the bleeding edge kernel, not download and install the ubuntu package source manually. Jeez [02:43] :O i could print a test page [02:44] szal: i dont think you can. it seems to be highly dependent on jack [02:44] Hi I can't mount anything usb any more, I can only see usb device when I type lsusb and thats all, I tested fat usb stick, ntfs usb flash [02:44] ledjo error when attempting to mount? [02:45] and psp and its the same no auto run, not in /media/usb nothing [02:45] just nothing happens [02:46] ledjo how you trying to mount? [02:46] if my printer works with usb can i set it up with wi fi? [02:47] put inside and wait and nothing happens than I want to manually mount it but I dont know what /dev it is [02:47] is there a way to ls files with two extensions? like avi files and mkv? [02:48] ledjo pastebin your fdisk -l or if thats all you need that will show you all the disk devices [02:48] ledjo probably need to run it as sudo if its an ubuntu desktop [02:48] I said I dont know what /dev obviously I used fdisk l to check [02:49] odie5533: ls *.avi *.mkv [02:49] ok well what /dev is mounted and whats not thats listed in fdisk [02:49] and its not listed [02:49] ledjo sounds like your usb device is dead then === thesheff17 is now known as thesheff17|AFK [02:50] Im talking about 3 devices and they all work on windows desktop [02:50] ledjo: did you try to reboot & see if that brings it back?

[02:54] gohdan: There's no config file in /etc/X11...I remember from the bad old days setting up a monitor...I hope I don't have to go through that again. [02:54] ledjo go back to windows [02:54] gohdan: But I will if necessary. [02:54] Im using only ubuntu here [02:54] on laptop [02:55] windows is desktop [02:55] sell your laptop then [02:55] ledjo: do you dual-boot? [02:55] no [02:55] stercor: im probably not the best person to assist you with troubleshooting X issues [02:55] ledjo: What's the problem? [02:56] cant mount any usb device [02:56] gohdan: Thanks. That's better than trying things and breaking them further. [02:56] i.e. fat flash, ntfs flash and psp [02:57] stercor: what gfx card? [02:57] gohdan: Issue the 'mount' command. [02:57] stercor: but, IIRC there is no Xorg.conf generated if you use the proprietary nvidia drivers. but dont quot eme on that [02:57] szal: I don't know. [02:57] ledjo: have you checked dmesg when you plug in the devices? [02:57] stercor: lspci | grep -i vga [02:57] szal: Is there a way to find out? [02:57] yes, its everything fine [02:57] szal: Mental telepathy... [02:57] stercor: 'lspci | grep VGA' [02:58] i see devices when I type lsusb [02:58] gohdan: the nVidia driver itself does not generate one, but nvidia-xconfig does [02:58] they are just not mounted [02:58] SERVER -h [02:59] szal: gohdan: GeForce 6150 noforce 40] rev 2 [02:59] ledjo have you just upgraded your kernel?

So Im just throwing ideas. Does dmesg tell you what /dev assignment it gets? [03:00] just a sec [03:02] ledjo: here is my dmesg when I plug in a drive: http://pastebin.com/hSKvQQK0 It is connected as sdc [03:02] ehci_hcd [03:02] is there a package for pypy (python interpreter) [03:02] ledjo: what file systems do you have? [03:03] ledjo: NTFS and something else... [03:03] on usb? [03:03] ntfs [03:03] ledjo: Do you have a command-line interface? [03:03] ledjo: On the USP. [03:03] the file system wouldnt cause this problem [03:03] youd get some kind of error if it was the file system [03:04] thats right thats why I said its ok [03:04] Pardon if this seems like a silly question, but I'm more comfortable on Debian than Ubuntu, and I can't seem to find the Apache debug symbols on Ubuntu - on debian, it'd be in apache2-dbg, but natty at least seems to have no such package [03:04] LinuxRules: but the correct mount command would help.

[03:05] do-release-upgrade [03:05] well ill try [03:05] stercor yes but if the command was wrong it would sderr [03:06] ledjo: If you do an ls you'll get a whole bunch of output. What you're looking for is /dev/sd* with a 1 as the last character. === D34X is now known as Dommer [03:06] it is edbian is there anything else i should be aware, like closing things down etc. [03:06] and do i risk more memory usage by upgrading [03:07] ledjo: can I see your dmesg from when you plug in the device? [03:07] fission6: I don't remember the exact benchmarks (nor do I know what number karmic is and what release comes after it). I doubt you'll notice more memory consumption unless you have memorized how much ram you are typically using for different activites [03:07] L1nuxRules: I'm telling ledjo how I'd approach the problem. There most certainly is a better way; and I would like to find it out. [03:07] I know till yesterday it was sdc1 [03:07] ok [03:07] wonder if its worth it edbian [03:07] Hello. I'm trying to figure out why my wireless insn't working. I've tried to follow directions on the help boards, but I'm very new to this OS. In fact, I can't even seem to find out what wireless card I have. Suggestions? [03:07] fission6: You can run things while the upgrade runs. You might notice some strangeness but a restart (or IRC help) can fix anything that drops up [03:07] fission6: Karmic is dead, so it's definitely worth it [03:08] ok [03:08] fission6: It's worth it because it's fun and exciting. Also, karmic will eventually die and no longer be supported. [03:08] let me give it a go [03:08] L1nuxRules: I would look for the /dev/sd*1 file and mount -t ntfs /dev/sd*1 /somedirectory [03:08] stercor wasnt having a go or anything was just trying to fil you in on the situation as I thought you hasd just joined [03:08] Can someone explain why I get this error and cannot install perl properly: I know it is basic, but cannot find a solution [03:08] perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.1-17ubuntu4.1) but 5.12.4-1ubuntu1 is to be installed [03:08] fission6: or it's dead now! which means do-release-upgrade won't work I think [03:08] !eol [03:08] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:08] it says: [ 1724.528041] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [03:08] edbian: don't see why it wouldn't, as Lucid is still alive & kicking [03:09] stercor ye which would produce an error regarding the filesystem if it was /ext4 for example [03:09] szal: Is lucid what you go to? IDK know the names anymore [03:09] stercor: how about you finish your nVidia driver installation? ;) [03:09] stercor no error messages are produced [03:09] edbian: if I read correctly, fission6 has Karmic (9.10) and wants to upgrade to Lucid (10.04) [03:10] i kicked off do-release-upgrade [03:10] its doing its thing [03:10] szal: he definitely has karmic [03:10] is there anything i should do post upgrade? [03:10] This conversation is moot [03:10] run anything else [03:10] ledjo: that's it? well, regardless, here is another stab in the dark idea: sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd [03:10] fission6: explore! :D (restart too, but I think it makes you do that) [03:10] hmm ok, cool. [03:10] Scribbled2x: try: apt-cache policy perl-base [03:11] fission6: You like Ubuntu? You have a very old version. [03:11] szal: I've installed nvidia-current; it couldn't find the other package, but nvidia-current pulled in some packages that seem to be appropriate. [03:11] edbian, what am i missing? probably not much [03:11] szal: I guess it's reboot time... [03:11] stercor: what other pkg? nvidia-xconfig is not a pkg, it's a command that comes w/ the nVidia driver [03:12] ChogyDan it produced more stuff I have never seen before - I am new to apt-get so I am kinda retarded === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [03:12] stercor sudo service gm restart then init 5 when you login from the bash login [03:12] fission6: Ubuntu changes a great deal from release to release. You'll see default apps change, features added everywhere, old bugs fixed and replaced by new bugs. [03:12] Just starting with first try at an Ubuntu server and kind of in the deep end. I'm troubleshooting intermittent system crashes/lockups and am a little stuck with troubleshooting. I'm trying to verify that we're using the right drivers & such for our hardware raid. I'm looking at things like this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/amr.4.html but don't know how to tell if this is already installed or not. Not to ask a dumb [03:12] *gdm [03:12] question but... umm.... can anyone help out the new guy??? :-) [03:12] Scribbled2x: you are welcome to pastebin it, and I can look [03:12] fission6: In Ubuntu 11.04 there is an entirely new interface. That's about as big a change as one could make! [03:12] szal: Oh, I misunderstood. I'll do the nvidia-xconfig. Thanks for the heads up. [03:12] what is pastebin - yet another thing that has changed since I have done this [03:13] edbian, true but i am using lxde cause i have 1 gig of ram [03:13] !paste | Scribbled2x [03:13] Scribbled2x: 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. [03:13] chogy dan: FATAL: Module ehci_hcd is builtin [03:13] !paste [03:13] fission6: I have 1Gb of ram and I run gnome (or I could run KDE) [03:13] cpruitt, "apt-cache show packagename" [03:13] fission6: Really, 1Gb is plenty [03:13] ive ran ubuntu on 1gb [03:13] 512Mb is neough! [03:13] !paste|Scribbled2x [03:13] Scribbled2x, please see my private message === Alternative is now known as Guest88939 [03:13] Gryllida: Thanks, I'll give that a shot [03:13] well chrome and playing music seems to eat up my memory and get glitchy - at least in karmic [03:13] maybe there were some leaks and 10.4 will run better [03:14] szal: the xorg.conf looks _MUCH_ better than the 2-line one I had before. [03:14] fission6: perhaps, 10.04 is a LTS so it is more stable [03:14] Chogy working through that now - thank you - let me see if I can get it up there [03:14] a gnome install can use around 700mb of ram without tweaking so if your just browsing the web that would be fine with 1gb [03:14] Are raid drivers installed just like any other package? Seems like they should be all complicated & linuxy... [03:14] fission6: Also, it is actually supported [03:14] lubuntu has seeen a lot of improvements [03:14] Ive had to work on xp machines with less! [03:14] what do you mean by suported [03:14] !lubuntu [03:14] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [03:14] fission6: updates are being written [03:14] i cant get WINE to run, any tips? [03:15] * szal finds 2 GB barely enough to run one of the 'fat' DEs on [03:15] szal: reboot time. BRB. [03:15] ledjo: I haven't forgotten you. [03:15] eh i doubt chrome, my 8 terminal windows, totem, and irc client will run under gnome smoothly - lxde has been great for low memory [03:15] pat201: you don't run Wine, you run (Windows) applications w/ Wine [03:15] Chogy-Dan I have it in paste bin, but what do I do with it - how do I get it to you [03:16] Scribbled2x: post the web address into the chat [03:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/638675/ [03:16] fission6: =my netbook could do that fine with 1gb ram [03:16] ok [03:16] I see now [03:16] Gryllida: apt is telling me it's not installed. Any tips on tracking down what driver is being used? I tried using dconf to see if I could glean any insight and about had a stroke from the volume of info. [03:16] pat201: #winehq [03:16] ehci_hcd is for sure not the /dev name... [03:16] dr_willis, im glad thats the case for you - again maybe under 10.4 i can do it too we'll see [03:16] I built a live CD from scratch but I am having some problems installing packages - something to do with dependencies and all... [03:16] Scribbled2x: how did you install perl-base? [03:16] apt-get [03:17] its just wrong [03:17] ledjo: no, that is the driver [03:17] hahahaha "34 packages are going to be removed. 222 new packages are going to be [03:17] installed. 1592 packages are going to be upgraded. [03:17] " [03:17] apt-get install perl-base [03:17] cpruitt, what is 'it? If it's not installed, why not just install it? [03:17] only 1st time worked automount [03:17] I did it wrong Itake it? [03:17] lxde-lubuntu in 11.04 is very nicely done [03:17] i did amont [03:17] but obviously it doesnt work [03:17] regarding the usage of X Im running gnome on mine and Im using 497gb [03:17] *mb [03:18] Scribbled2x: somehow, you have the oneiric version of perl-base installed [03:18] Gryllida: It's the driver for our hardware raid. I want to be careful because if I hose our raid then the box is dead in the water and wont be able to access the HDDs === BlackZ is now known as Guest64497 [03:18] I'm reluctant to just arbitrarily start changing raid controller drivers [03:18] it should be - that was the goal - but now im thinking I missed something in my planning so to speak [03:18] Scribbled2x: maybe it is from the livecd you made? [03:18] :( [03:19] it is - that is a chroot environtment [03:19] Scribbled2x: are you trying to run natty or oneric? [03:19] cpruitt, drivers are preinstalled in linux and usually work out of the box; if it's otherwise, you would need to give a short description of what you're doing; please ask the channel rather than me because I'm not particularly knowledgeable in that. [03:19] oneric [03:19] till yesterday I had to use sudo mount -t; -r -v every time I connect the dev but since today its not even listed [03:19] so why would i upgrade to lucid and not 11.04 [03:19] Gryllida: No problem. Thanks for the reply none the less. [03:19] that is where I am getting messed up - i keep seeing natty wharhal crap everywhere [03:20] Scribbled2x: well, you sources are natty, that is the problem [03:20] cpruitt Id take your questions to a more advanced Linux channel if I was you [03:20] in fact mail Linus T :) [03:21] Well that is why we have rm for - so we can start over and reread what we apparently missed the first time [03:21] ? [03:21] :) [03:21] L1nuxRules: Not a bad idea. Any channel you'd recommend? I just ended up here cause it's the distro we're using. Is there a more generic Linux channel? [03:21] mounting usbs and sambashare are 2 things I hate in this ubuntu... [03:21] :) [03:22] its the same as earlier releases ledjo ;) [03:22] ChogyDan these versions are somewhat difficult to keep track of, mainly because I just picked this back up after a 10 year break in using it [03:22] cpruitt, you didn't include much details in your question; I still don't see what you're after and why and what doesn't work; if you just ask here with more information, it may work. [03:22] cpruitt no I dont sorry, I only use the distro based chans good luck with the probs though [03:23] But thanks - I appreciate the help - I will re read everything and try to figure out what the heck I am doing wrong [03:23] cpruitt: you can look at what drivers are in use with sudo lshw [03:23] Scribbled2x: I don't know about livecd creation [03:23] ledjo: Have you found a way around the usb mounting? It used to be beautiful on my Kubuntu box until I installed Evolution, and then apparently somehow Gnome had to get involved every time I plugged in a usb mount or SD card --not sure what Evolution has to do with mounting USB. [03:23] I meant in this ubuntu distro, i used fedora and debian and didnt have these problems [03:23] Gryllida: Sorry I thought I'd posted a description in my first inquiry but I'm happy to rephrase [03:24] ChogyDan - I did it 10 years ago but in a lot of ways it was easier and in many ways it seems to have been harder. Overall, if I can get through this crap this will obviously be the better way to do it. [03:24] which I dont understand theyre all debian :) [03:24] i got a question about curl.. how is it possible that if 'curl www.somesite-a.com' produces output, I can easily pipe it to a file (> a.txt), but somesite-b, which also produces output (in terminal), upon output redirection, generates a 0 byte output file? [03:25] Debian <3 [03:25] I'm setting up my first Linux box as a server. I'm troubleshooting the box because it intermittently crashes without any real indication of why in the logs I've known enough to check. Grasping at straws we're trying to at least verify that all of our hardware is fully supported and that nothing needs to be patched. [03:25] ledjo: Fedora is Debian? :o [03:25] ledjo: fedora is not debian [03:25] ok [03:25] ledjo: Ubuntu is special. They like to change things around to say, "Hi! I'm Ubuntu!" --even when Kubuntu is working fine. Very strange. :P [03:25] Anyway, good luck ledjo. Gotta run. [03:25] but tis not SO other than deb [03:26] We're using a hardware (not software) raid and I'm currently trying to verify that there's nothing wrong with the hardware we have and the software that's making the OS aware of it. [03:26] i normally have kde and gnome both on my ubuntu boxs and rary have issues with the automounter [03:26] ChogyDan: Thank you for the tip. I'll give that a shot [03:26] Hello guys. Anyone famliar with irssi want to tell me what the command to leave it is? quit and exit don't seem to work [03:26] quit [03:27] its /quit [03:27] lol [03:27] time to check the irssi homepage. ;0 [03:27] I have a satellite t115D-S1125 that works in Ubuntu Classic (no effects) but not ubuntu or ubuntu classic, did dependency build, apt-get install, updates, upgrades, am lost any ideas [03:28] Never mind I'm a total retard. [03:28] me too [03:28] xdude_: video chipset is? [03:28] xdude_: "doesn't work" is NOT an error description.. [03:29] xdude_: in classic try alt+f2 metacity --replace [03:29] This is a good example of where I get lost. lshw tells me my raid driver is 'megaraid' but reading some info (http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata#intel-icp) it seems like I should be using 'megaraid2'. Not sure if this is, in fact, a different driver or not, or if the info I'm reading is even valid. [03:29] looking [03:30] quite a few upgrades shelled out today o.0 [03:30] my printer works with usb but i cant set up the wifi :( [03:30] now I have to pray to god that samba too wont let me down to send my music to windows desktop pc and then connect psp to windows desktop pc and then send files to psp which is very convenient.. [03:31] ATI Technologies Inc Rs780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] [03:31] ledjo: you can use winscp instead of samba shares if youwant somthing easier to get going [03:31] * szal runs a Samba server on this box (Natty) sharing his media files to Windows XP [03:32] dr_willis: I don't think that'll work for instant access; you sure don't want to copy everything over if you just want to play media ;) [03:32] dr_willis, so why shoul di upgradet o lucid rather than 11.04 or whatever the latest is [03:33] in winscp is ubuntu not visible on 7 [03:33] He said somthing about copying to a psp [03:33] I said [03:33] fission6: because direct upgrade from Karmic to Natty is not supported [03:34] fission6: i never upgrade i do clean installs. Lubutu has been getting better in every new release [03:34] metacity --replace result in --> Window manage error: Unable to open X display [03:34] fission6: if you want Natty, save your home directory and other configuration files you might need & reinstall [03:34] * KM0201 agrees w/ dr_willis [03:34] hmm ok [03:35] ledjo: use winscp to connect to ssh server on linux. Install ssh of course first. [03:35] if you want to have access to your music form everywhere in your network use some of the streaming and sharing protocols supported by your player device [03:35] dr_willis, so if i am upgrading to lucid but running lxde how would i just run lubuntu for a tighter integration [03:36] xdude_: sudo service gdm start [03:36] no Im installing fedora xfce spin und auf wiedersehen! [03:36] To play files. Not just copy. You would waant a samba share setup [03:36] -> start: Job is already running: gdm [03:36] dr_willis, any ideas? [03:37] fission6: that made no sence to me. Lxde is ubuntu+lxde [03:37] xdude_: startx [03:37] Lubuntu = ubuntu+lxde [03:38] oh so i am already doing it then? just buy using lxde and having ubuntu, i thought it was a flavor of ubuntu like a "forked" distro [03:38] fission6: or just go to http://www.lubuntu.net and download/install it [03:38] fission6: it is. [03:38] !lubuntu [03:38] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [03:39] right, so i have ubuntu running and lxde but i set it up independently - its not "lubuntu" in the formal sense, does that make any sense? [03:39] fission6: it'll be a "Official" Ubuntu release for 11.10, instead of a community release. [03:39] a few lines ... XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 7 requests (7 known processed) with 0 events remaining. [03:39] I always install all 3 of the de's . Gnome, kde, lxde [03:40] Openbox > all ;) [03:40] ok [03:41] I can not seem to stop the gdm... error says to use stop gdm wouldn't I have to stop this process before using startx? [03:41] and xfce? [03:41] xdude_: sudo service gdm stop [03:41] sudo service gdm stop [03:41] guys, when you create a shell script, how do you wrap the given command parameter with another one?

[04:26] Hi, is there no ServerLimit directive in ubuntu's apache2 configs? [04:26] ttuttle: I can't ping google.com unfortunately. [04:27] hoverbear: what does iwconfig say? [04:27] ttuttle: Ah, hold on, been out of linux a fair spell.... iwconfig says it's there, says it's wireless, looks like I just don't have it configured. === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest57397 [04:27] ttuttle: Is there a command line config tool for wireless on ubuntu server, or am I stuck manual? [04:28] ttuttle: how will I know whats hanging? the process wouldnt appear any different than normal running processes [04:28] Gryllida: luck? === Guest57397 is now known as arrrcanum42 [04:28] hoverbear, wicd has some sort of cli or ncurse option [04:28] I can't mount my windows partition, though the partition is not mounted and the directory is not busy [04:29] ZykoticK9: Sadly, wicd is not installed by default and I have no repo access [04:29] ???>?>?>?>?>?>>>> [04:29] hoverbear: do you have wpa_supplicant? [04:29] GSF1200S: If you use ps or another program, you can filter for all of your processes [04:29] hoverbear, manual it is then ;) hope you don't use wpa, or already have wpa supplicant installed. Good luck. [04:29] Hi, is there no ServerLimit directive in ubuntu's apache2 configs? [04:29] ttuttle: That I do have. I couldn't remember the name... Thanks I'll take a look [04:30] hoverbear: sure [04:30] hoverbear: there should be a config file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf; you should be able to configure it in there and get wpa_supplicant to connect for you [04:30] GSF1200S: If you do that, then near the very end, you should be able to figure out what is the last process to terminate === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest69514 [04:32] latagore: sounds good- anyway to have ps loop? [04:32] i guess I could use htop [04:32] bikcmp, there are resources on it working, and there are resources on it not working. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2231491&postcount=3 and an attempt to make it work, come here with errors, etc. would most likely get it running if it doesn't do that out of the box. [04:32] GSF1200S: You could also change top settings, but that was what I had in mind [04:32] wow [04:32] ttuttle: Oh god I totally forget how to use this [04:33] this is thoroughly broken [04:33] hoverbear: wpa_supplicant? [04:33] ttuttle: Yeah haha [04:33] hoverbear: is your network WPA? [04:33] ttuttle: wpa2 aes [04:34] Hi, is there a way to stop showing " Laptop 15" " and " Acer 19" " from the top of both the laptop and monitor screens whenever i connect a monitor ? [04:34] ttuttle: Ah yay, found a guide. :) [04:34] okay, you want something like "network { ssid="foo" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="passphrase" } [04:34] ttuttle: Right [04:34] hoverbear: on different lines, of course [04:35] okay [04:35] I think the last thing I do with this ubuntu install [04:35] is going to be unetbootin-ing a different distro >.< [04:35] unless anyone has any ideas on how to fix it without reinstalling? [04:36] I don't like grub error -> graphical boot -> "(initramfs) ". [04:36] hey there, is there a commandline tool that does what font viewer's 'install font' does? i have a bunch (dozens) of fonts and i don't want to have to click-install all of them. thanks [04:36] ghufran: i think thats a bug in the monitors tool. I recall someone else having to 'kill' a process to make them go away. Perhaps xkill can do it [04:36] that gives me 0 debugging information. [04:36] dr_willis, okay thanks. [04:37] let me check out xkill [04:37] Hello anyone here? [04:37] I'm back with yet another dead drive [04:37] ttuttle: I'm seeing in this guide I should have a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, but it's not there be default, has it been moved orneed it be manually created? [04:37] latagore: that may not help though- the desktop stays active and responsive for 30 seconds, and THEN everything shuts down- those processes would still be running [04:37] ttuttle: tried the options 'nomodeset noquiet nosplash' to see messages. [04:37] This is annoying... except this time, the error seems pretty obvious [04:37] dr_willis: can't; grub never gives me a menu [04:38] Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. [04:38] (I could edit the grub config, but I am rapidly not caring.) [04:38] ttuttle: shift key shold show it [04:38] What do I do about that? [04:38] That's fdisk -l output, btw [04:38] ive tried using other login managers (xdm, lightdm), but it does the same. Has to be something in the desktop [04:38] GSF1200S: Well you will know the processes that refuse to terminate and then you can sort through them [04:38] I always set grub to never hide [04:39] latagore: is there a program which shows what has been sent sigterm but isnt terminating? Im assuming at gdm logout, sigterm is sent to all processes, then sigkill is sent to any that refuse to terminate [04:40] ...why does the version of unetbootin I just installed not offer me the version of ubuntu I installed it from? [04:40] GSF1200S: I'm sure you know more about Linux than I do; can't help you there [04:41] DriversBroken: That message doesn't mean the drive is broken [04:41] haha, i doubt it. im giving it a shot though [04:41] latagore: Well then, my drive is broken, and that is not the cause of it... [04:41] how do I find my version # of adobe flash? thanks [04:41] sorry, is anyone having problems playing youtube flash videos? [04:41] they don't seem to be loading for me [04:42] DriversBroken: Anything you can tell me about it? You can't mount it? [04:42] latagore: it's an ntfs disk, windows, booting causes bios to start again, mounting gives error code #2 [04:42] tripelb: easiest way is to right-click in a flash-video [04:42] damn I hate these "error codes". Much prefer the informative java exception style... [04:43] ty iceroot [04:43] ttuttle: Wee, I'm connected. Now I just need dhcp [04:43] hoverbear: dhclient wlan0 [04:44] DriversBroken: I guess it's more of a legacy thing? I wouldn't know the error code, you could search it up [04:44] ttuttle: Awesome, thanks. Getting super awesome no such file errors for resolv.conf. :-P [04:44] ttuttle: Resolved, thanks! [04:44] hoverbear: echo -e "nameserver 8.8.8.8\nnameserver 8.8.4.4\n" > /etc/resolv.conf [04:45] DriversBroken: I'm having a bit of a problem booting up Windows myself [04:45] ttuttle: Finally I can update =D [04:45] Man, I really need a replacement for Active Directory. Is there anything like that? I know landscape handles udpates and stuff, but I need user managment stuff [04:46] I can't mount my Windows partition, I need some help [04:46] latagore... nice. I've had 2 computers die within a week - and since I backed up the data to the now dead drives, which were my moms, she says that "A VIRUS MUST HAVE MAGICALLY ACTIVATE ITSELF FROM MY DRIVE" [04:46] latagore, describe your problem please. [04:46] i lost the windows border in my ubuntu so i cat identify the problem in Xorg.0.log , where i can find more explicit info ? [04:46] I am running Lubuntu 11.04 .... when I selsect Ubuntu Classic it says ......error falling default mode " << Cant copy paste from there [04:47] i know metacity --replace fix my problem [04:47] tntc: samba4 replaces ad [04:47] latagore: in any case, I found this thread.

[04:48] ttuttle: It isn't [04:48] iceroot: I don't really need the windows support though. also, can it handle user managment across hosts? [04:48] iceroot: I don't need a direct AD replacement (as in, I don't need to support windows clients) [04:48] latagore: check dmesg | tail [04:48] tntc: also have a look at http://www.univention.de/en/ its a replacement for a nt-domain with user-manangement [04:49] It's that little weird partition which I believe to be the boot partition for windows [04:49] tntc: based on ldap and samba [04:49] ttuttle: I don't know what I'm looking for [04:50] latagore: pastebin it? http://goo.gl/ixcN9 [04:50] ack, HP decided to make 2 partitions: a boot and a data...

Thanks! [04:51] latagore: hmm, that doesn't appear to have any errors related to ntfs [04:51] DriversBroken: i think thats a win7 idea also. Not just hps [04:52] dr_willis: oh, ok... well then HP decided to rename it HP [04:52] ttuttle: Apparently I can't mount it as type ntfs [04:52] is it easy to go from Ubuntu 11.x to 10.4? I need vmware workstation to work. [04:52] ttuttle: If I pick hpfs, then it tells me busy or mounted already [04:53] Win7 setups often have a - win7boot - win7 os- thena makers recovery part.

[04:53] tripelb, ? [04:54] c001, just a full reinstall [04:54] DriversBroken: Pick the right partition [04:54] DriversBroken: Not the hard drive [04:54] !downgrade [04:54] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [04:54] bazhang, I'm trying to get the ubottu that tells you how to ask a question. Help me :) [04:54] DriversBroken: Or you have to provide options [04:54] tripelb, !gq ? [04:54] latagore: Oh, I see what you mean. [04:55] DriversBroken: Try ntfsfix -h [04:55] !gq | tripleb [04:55] tripleb: Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question. [04:55] !ask | tripleb [04:55] tripleb: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:56] Hello Everyone :) [04:56] Ok...i hv a problem.. [04:56] !ask | vivekimsit [04:56] vivekimsit: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:57] Is there a way to force the terminal to add a line break after every command? It's getting hard to follow... [04:58] DriversBroken: you could set the bash prompt to do that befor it prints the prompt [04:58] when i press alt+f2 a run window appears and we can type the command to run...but i want to come in the available application list so that i need not to type the command everytime to run it...is there any way? [04:58] vivekimsit: You might need to change the source for that, which isn't easy [04:59] latagore:okk.u mean there is not any easier way? [04:59] I don't think so, I mainly use KDE, so I'm not too sure [04:59] Unity has a similer feature to thst i thought [05:00] Gnome do . Also works that way i belive [05:00] latagore : but i can try...if u tell me.. [05:00] ttuttle: Any suggestions for fixing "x: user not authorized to run the x server, aborting"? [05:00] hoverbear: check /etc/group for a group that sounds like it would let you run the X server? [05:01] ttuttle: Right, thanks. :) [05:01] why is like nothing selectable in ubuntu -.- [05:01] * ttuttle kind of gasping for straws. [05:01] gparted is telling me a "segmentation fault" when I try to read a partition [05:01] ttuttle: On another note, my integrated flashlight works [05:01] vivekimsit: You'd literally need to reprogram it and then compile it and substitute it with your existing program; it's probably not worth the effort [05:01] hoverbear: Thinkpad? [05:01] hoverbear: yeah, that doesn't require OS support, although you can toggle it with a file in /proc, IIRC. [05:02] Segfalt = bad crash ;( [05:02] ttuttle: Yeah :) [05:02] ooh, what model? [05:02] ttuttle: t420 with the optimus card [05:03] latagore:okk :( [05:03] dr_willis: except nothing is crashed. It seems [05:04] Gparted is crashing sounded le to me [05:04] ttuttle: Ah, it must be done in a virtual console, not ina byobo session [05:04] Could be some weird disk partition layout confuseing ig [05:05] You may want to try a gparted liveecd [05:05] dr_willis: no, when I right click the infomation row on /dev/sda2 it says under an exclamation point that ntfsresize had a segmentation fault [05:07] so thsts the app thats crashing. Defrag and scandisk thst ntfs from windows and tri it agan is my suggestion [05:07] Win7 can resize ntfs very quickly also. [05:08] I can't mount my windows partition, now I don't know what file system is on it [05:08] dr_willis: the entire reason I'm on ubuntu is because win 7 will not boot [05:09] DriversBroken: you may have discovered why. Fs may be all buggered up [05:09] and hp is nice enough to not provide an installation disk that would allow me to scandisk/checkdisk, and instead provides another partition hosting a tool that will allow me to reformat and reinstall windows only [05:10] If you have a program that you're about to run on a whole set of files, and the program's default output is to stdout, and it doesn't have a "save to save file" option... what's the shell lingo to direct its output back to each input file, when you run it on an entire directory? Can that be a one-liner or does it end up needing to be a shell script with a loop? [05:10] dr_willis: Ok, a way to fix it would be nice. ntfsfix merely just stops working, prints out another username@hostname-$ prompt [05:10] Ms has some rescue cds you can get. Ive seen them. [05:10] okk..fellas !anyone with a good knowledge of scripting? [05:11] sorry, that should have read "save to same file" option [05:11] Ntfsfix just flsds the disk as ok. I dont think it actually fixs anything [05:11] DriversBroken: If you get yours fixed, let me know, I'm stuck too [05:11] dr_willis: That's nice. and retarded. [05:11] latagore: kk, will do [05:11] vivekimsit: ask a more detailed question. [05:12] dr_willis: see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-system-repair-disc. They want you to go into windows 7... in order to fix w7. [05:12] anyone got a working w7, can burn a disk, rip the iso off and send it to me? [05:12] hows the ubuntu community doing?? [05:12] hi I have a doubt, Im kinda new to ubuntu I was playing an iso with acetone and kafeine and sometimes the iso blocks a little it passes frames [05:13] I did download some ms repair iso from ms - totally legal to use - i thini i fiund it mentioned at the lifehackeer website [05:13] nightlonewolf, this is the help channel, so everyone here is either helping or is having a ton of trouble :( [05:13] ... or just a teaspoon o'trouble [05:13] a wee bit [05:13] dr_willis:ok...i am wrting a script in which asks for the password ! so, i want to supply password as a parameter in script so that it don't prompt for the password [05:13] too bad theres not a general chat channel on here -.-' [05:14] DriversBroken, there are no FOSS utilities that can repair NTFS at that level. [05:14] you need BartPE or something like that [05:14] Does ubuntu support drag and drop for DVD-RAM burners, or is a program required? [05:14] vexati0n: I don't care about foss only tbh [05:14] vivekimsit: a password in a script is a bad idea. But i recall 'expect' scripts used in that case [05:15] DriversBroken, i mean there are no free (as in anything) programs that run on Ubuntu that will fix your issue. [05:15] humm can someone help me? I am trying to learn I heard about medibuntu plugins but those are highly old [05:15] hi, when I try to save a document - gedit / libre office the dialog box takes about 3-4 seconds to start up. I have a modern computer 4GB Ram etc. Is this a compiz setting to change? [05:15] I installed libxine1 all plugins and totem player too just in case ;) [05:16] dr_willis: actually its a script on rsync so the password is a mandatory option....and pls can u tell me something more about 'expect' [05:16] i seted up my printer by wifi my miself -.- [05:16] DriversBroken, if your NTFS is really that borked, you'll be lucky to fix it at all. try BartPE or Hirens. failing those, I would thank the lord that I had a good, recent backup of everything on my machine, reinstall, and go from there. [05:17] since i cant seem to 'pretty up [05:17] vexati0n: I have no backup. This is my mom's disk :( [05:17] oops gru [05:17] wth [05:17] zelozelos watch ur language [05:18] vexat0n: And she blames me for breaking it, because I backed up my data onto hers. And since our drives both failed within a week, it must be some virus in my data, according to her [05:18] oh..heh loose cord ..anyhow since i cant seem to pretty up grub for some reason id like to try out burg i attempted to install it but the same ol grub keeps loading what did i do wrong? [05:18] vexati0n: highly unlikely, right? Much more likely that the heavy io workload just pushed a dying drive over the brink... [05:19] u just need ctrl alt f1 [05:19] DriversBroken - most likely is the drive simply got really sick and tired of being forced to run Windows all the damn time, and died on purpose just to inflict some misery back on you people. [05:19] what usb creator on Windows should I use if I want to install ubuntu from a USB? [05:19] will fedora's liveusb creator work? [05:20] vexati0n: Well, that can't be right, I was using natty live the days before it died to fix my disk :P [05:20] Capso: I used wubi [05:20] DriversBroken - but anyway, you can also find some hope in the PhotoRec/TestDisk - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download [05:20] danileigh79: will unetbootin work too? [05:20] Capso: should... it gives you options for which distro you want [05:21] danileigh79: wubi says it'll install ubuntu within my current system? [05:21] DriversBroken - in that case I would say it is your fault for introducing linux to your mom's computer, and showing it what it COULD have been running all these years. no wonder it lost all will to live. [05:21] danileigh79: I just want to create a bootable usb [05:21] DriversBroken, it's like living until age 85, only then to discover sex. [05:21] Capso: it also gives you option to create live usb [05:22] vexati0n: She actually thinks that linux broke her comp, to be perfectly serious. [05:23] DriversBroken - i know she's serious about that. it isn't her fault, she has no idea how computers work. to her, it seems logical. we know better, but there'll be no convincing her of that. this is why you never say the word "Linux" to an inexperienced/non-technical user. [05:23] saying "Linux" to someone like that will always scare them, even if nothing bad happens. [05:23] no it wont [05:23] only if they are ignorant [05:23] i'm a total newbie and need help installing as86 on Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) thx [05:23] DriversBroken: So does mine! [05:23] mrdeb, most users are, in fact, ignorant. [05:23] vexati0n: And what is worse is that she programs c for a living and was angry at me because she couldn't remote desktop in to her vim prompt. [05:24] yes they are [05:24] so you need to help them overcome it [05:24] So I have a long script on my local computer. It's in bash. I want to be able to ssh into a server, run the script, then go into a terminal (while being able to see that info). So far all I've been able to do is something along the lines of ssh host command && bash. [05:24] latagore: the segfault thing? [05:24] Any ideas [05:24] Capso: sorry gimme a minute, been awhile, i hought i mafe liveusb wih wubi, lemme find what i actually used [05:24] mrdeb: Or make a cleaner user interface for the lesser computer users [05:24] DriversBroken: The mom thing :D [05:25] mrdeb, i'm all for overcoming that ignorance, but the FOSS community should face the fact that they have lost the battle over the word Linux. none of the successfull linux-based products out there say "Linux" anywhere but in very tiny print at the back of a technical manual nobody will ever read. [05:25] latagore: oh lol [05:25] vexati0n: it's partly warranted, because this thing where linux = terminal still exists. [05:25] Capso: I used Universal-USB-Installer.exe from pendrivelinux.com [05:26] when we have a disk error, we dont' say install this or that. We say "Open up the terminal and go sudo fdisk -l!" [05:26] DriversBroken, Linux is a great OS, but the FUD has overpowered the community's ability to describe it favorably. [05:26] And when we want to clone something, we go dd as;dlkfj;asdlkjfa;skdjf;asfasl;dkfj;sdl options before that [05:26] yeah and then we wait four hours [05:26] when Ghost can do it in fifteen minutes [05:27] but that's besides the point [05:27] And I still haven't figured out why chown was failing in virtualbox without leaving any error messages [05:27] And.... unity crashed ubuntu thrice. Ok, we should stop ranting now :P [05:27] vexati0n: what are you crying about? [05:28] Capso: you still there? [05:28] DriversBroken: if you're running ubuntu 11.4 in vbox.. 3D sucks in Vbox, and thats probably why it crashed [05:28] KM0201, i'm not crying i was just expounding on my deep philosophical beliefs that Linux is at a popular disadvantage because of the intensity and length of the FUD pushed against it. [05:28] DriversBroken: unfortunately 11.04 does not default to a 2D desktop all the time. [05:28] KM0201: no, crashed a live disk. chown failing was 10.10 [05:29] oh ok [05:29] actually no, crashed the external hdd installation I'm using right now [05:29] DriversBroken, likely, you tried to do some kind of advanced triple somersault maneuver with GParted and it killed her partition table. [05:30] vexati0n: lol wut, it was broken before I opened gparted [05:30] and all I clicked was view information [05:30] Anybody know of an OSX emulator that can be ran from Linux without using PearPC or suck through Wine? [05:30] *suck [05:30] DriversBroken, you never know what is going to make NTFS keel over. [05:30] *such [05:31] danielete_, yes: you can get it here http://www.apple.com [05:31] danileigh79, ** [05:31] danileigh79: you can also use the snow leopard version in Debian [05:31] it works perferctly on Virtualbox [05:32] maalac: do you have source for the .deb? [05:32] it's an iso file ..hold on..let me give you the link [05:34] maalac: do you know if said emu will be able to access network? PearPC in WinXP doesn't like to connect via wireless [05:34] ok so general consensus is that my partition is fubared [05:34] ? [05:35] if i am the only one voting, then that's your candidate.

Second question: why is it grayed out? [05:48] DriversBroken: Maybe you don't own the folder [05:48] DriversBroken: You need to run it with sudo if you don't have permissions [05:49] i just had what i think would be a glorious idea... could i use freenode's nickserv to login to a blog? i'm designing a tech blog, and i thought it would be helpful if users could use their freenode ID's to login to the site and leave comments [05:50] agh of course /media is owned by root. And windows would ask for permission instead of going "no! He is not allowed to press zat button! I will not allow him to press zat button." [05:51] Going to try booting windows ago... bye.

[05:54] d_atharva_: find the file in the filebrowser and enable read permissions? [05:55] anyone in here know anything about ubuntu + apache? [05:55] wells5878: yes, but you should just ask your question really [05:56] wells5878, please describe your issue. [05:56] i'm using php as a cgi module on an apache server, having issues with mod_rewrite only working on basic things [05:57] essentially not working at all -- but it IS running and .htaccess is being read [05:57] all rewrites give me error 500 [05:57] acicula : Not working dude.. [05:57] bare directories without an index also give 500 instead of the typical 'forbidden' [05:58] i need help setting up a nvidia driver for VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) [05:58] additional drivers says the driver is not activated [05:58] and when i try to activate it, nothing happens [05:58] wells5878: are you sure the rewrite rules are correct? [05:58] and/or what corresponding log errors do you see [05:58] they work on a local WAMP install and on another webserver. no log errors even when i turn logging on at level 9 [05:59] rewrite.log is empty -- 0b [05:59] d_atharva_: eh does logging into the normal ubuntu work? [05:59] apache error.log shows nothing relevant [06:00] are youm sure mod_rewrite is loaded? think apache has a something_ctl binary that lets you list currently loaded modules? [06:01] it doesn't show as running when i do apache2ctl -l -- but if i try to enable it or define in my httpd.conf it says it's already running [06:01] acicula : i didnt get your question.. [06:02] d_atharva_: my question is can you log into ubuntu, ie do you get the error when you login or is it just the program that gives you an error [06:03] acicula : No..just the program... [06:03] wells5878: idk, but this has a nice 4 step checklist http://www.webune.com/forums/how-to-fix-mod-rewrite-500-internal-server-error-on-htaccess-file-apache-t718.html [06:03] hi all. i am running maverick, and just tried installing the nvidia driver using "additional drivers" (under administration). After that, the computer would start up into a non-gui purple "Ubuntu" screen, then go to an all-purple screen and hang there. I ssh'd in and uninstalled nvidia-current and changed my xorg.conf to an old one (I think it was the automatic backup from "additional drivers"), and now it starts to a gui purple screen th [06:03] d_atharva_: then you just have some weird filepermissions [06:04] acicula : so what's the solution ? [06:04] d_atharva_: try to change the fileproperties of the file it complains about, or try moving it to anothre location altogether and see if it will start then [06:04] @acicula tried that earlier, no dice [06:04] d_atharva_: find the file in your filebrowser, right click it, select properties, make sure that read is toggled for your user. if its a directory that the program complains about you will need to to toggle it as execute [06:05] maquis: you can reset i think by purging the nvidia drivers and removing the xorg.conf altogether [06:06] acicula: mind refreshing my mind on how to find all the nvidia drivers? should i just remove everything aptitude sees installed that has nvidia in the name? [06:06] though the startup image you see at boot is handled a little differently [06:06] maquis: eh ill have a google but i think apt-get purge nvidia-* should do it [06:07] acicula: i'll do that. thanks! [06:08] everything in that looks reasonable. thanks a ton for the help! :) [06:08] acicula : did everything as you told..but still not working. [06:08] d_atharva_: then i dont know why your program will not work, sorry :/ [06:08] anyone here live in the GTA? [06:09] acicula : hmm..ok [06:09] wells5878: did you check if ctl lists the module? can you try with a really simple rewrite rule as a testcase? [06:09] Cydd: As you've been told repeatedly in the past, #ubuntu is not for chit-chat. [06:09] you guys are no fun [06:09] acicula: anything seem odd here? http://pastebin.com/QUGQTQYZ [06:10] acicula: i'm not familiar with ctl [06:10] apachewe apachectl [06:10] oh dir [06:11] *dur [06:12] wells5878: i have no idea wether those are correct or not, again, write a trivial rewrite rule and try that. if that works you know where to look [06:13] wells5878: if you remove the Options -Index , does it work then? [06:13] trivial rewrites do work [06:13] i tried RewriteRule ^test\.html$ test.php [R,L] [06:14] wells5878: k, then its your .htaccess file thats malformed then [06:14] can you try it without the -Index [06:15] no change without the -index [06:16] even if those rewrite rules are incorrect, it still doesn't explain why a directory without an index would give me a 500 error [06:17] it gives you a 500 error because of the .htaccess file, whats in it does not really factor into that i guess? [06:17] try the htaccess line by line? [06:18] removing the htaccess file altogether still results in a 500 error on empty directories [06:18] ah like so [06:18] due to this, and the fact that the htaccess works on a WAMP server, it tells me this is a server misconfiguration. [06:18] and i'm bleeding out my ears trying to figure out what the hell is wrong [06:18] haha [06:21] whats the corresponding error in the error log? === HammerspaceTroll is now known as HammerSpace [06:23] I would like to route all my pidgin traffic thru a ssl tunnel to a machine with static address running ubuntu on which I've an account.

Provider has repro'd and isolated to just their ubuntu template but dont know why. any known issues or anything I can check? [06:23] acicula: no entries in /var/log/apache2/error.log [06:24] wells5878: heh, thats remarkebly unhelpfull. whats the global setting on Indexes if you change/remove it does anything change? could filepermissions be an issue? [06:25] how can i remove repo from terminal? [06:25] acicula: perms are set to 750 for files and directories, i think the global setting is Options -Indexes. if I paste my httpd.conf would that be helpful? or anything else? [06:28] wells5878: not really [06:28] hello [06:28] I'm having trouble mounting a partition [06:28] wells5878: static content does work? [06:28] really...?? [06:28] but [06:28] acicula: yes [06:28] what is problems [06:28] ?? [06:29] wells5878: any rendered content works? [06:30] alnr: enabled checksum offloading? [06:30] acicula: if you mean dynamic php, yes [06:31] please... [06:31] help me [06:31] I can't mount my windows boot partition; mount tells me it is mounted or the directory is busy [06:31] a problems... [06:31] in ubuntu [06:31] !ask | jimmy__ [06:31] jimmy__: 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. :-) [06:31] ok [06:31] wells5878: yes. ok so file serving works, cgi works. some htacces file work, but this particular one does not nor does having an directory listed. Seems the issue revolves around the Index [06:31] thanks [06:32] wells5878: what happens if you just set the global index to + [06:32] acicula: hm... i've never even heard of such an issue. what's the prognosis, doc? [06:32] wells5878: also do you have an allowoverride directive set? [06:33] hello [06:33] acicula: AllowOverride All in the apache config, tried Options +Indexes same issue [06:33] hurr [06:36] wells5878: then im out of ideas [06:37] i can't open the system in ubuntu 11.04 [06:38] latagore: that usually means you already have it mounted under another directory. the filebrowser usually lists any mounted drives in the left pane of the filebrowser window [06:38] acicula: It is not mounted; it's not listed under mount [06:39] latagore: how are you mounting it? [06:39] acicula: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [06:40] acicula: I've tried mounting it to different folders [06:40] latagore: k, no problems there, the most common cause is an unclean windows shutdown. rebooting to windows and shutting it down again should fix that. [06:40] latagore: there might be something helpfull in dmesg, dmesg | tail to view the last few lines [06:41] acicula: Well that would be great and all if I could get it to show up in grub [06:41] acicula: nothing in dmesg either [06:42] latagore: ah yeah, grub kind of needs windows to be mountable for it to be included by grub [06:42] hi all [06:42] at least, the autoconfigure of grub does [06:42] acicula: hm, something interesting showed up in dmesg [06:43] im trying to update my system but i constantly get an update error indicating failure due to linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-22-generic . The package no longer exists but its still being reproted [06:43] using 10.04 lts [06:44] acicula: pastebin doesn't seem to be working right now [06:44] acicula: one line should be enough "[ 7229.716412] device-mapper: table: 252:1: sda3 too small for target: start=1936269394, len=1836016416, dev_size=204800" [06:45] acicula: any idea what this might mean? [06:47] latagore: not really sure [06:48] latagore: seems related to lvm [06:49] Hey is there a way of determining where the packet gets dropped? Because I can't listen on ports and I've used UFW to allow the ports and also even tried IPTABLES command and it still doesn't allow connections. The router allows the port to go forward though (I have the logs proving it) [06:49] it like automatically drops once it hits the computer [06:50] acicula: so any idea where I should start? LVM doesn't seem to be installed [06:54] latagore: no, just ignore lvm then, but googling the message isnt telling me anything. Id start with trying getting into windows [06:54] !dualboot [06:54] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [06:54] the procedure usually involves using the windows cd in recoveyr mode or your recovery cd. Means you will have to use the ubuntu livecd afterwards to fix grub again though [06:55] acicula: I actually have the windows installer on a hard drive xD [06:55] latagore: well you did boot it in some way i presume? [06:55] how can i use ubuntu? [06:56] acicula: I did, then I restored grub and updated grub and it didn't show up in grub anymore [06:57] latagore: it does not show up in grub because you can not mount the partition [06:57] Anyone know how I can make a bootable usb with Windows 7 on it? [06:58] acicula: So you told me [06:58] I can find a whole lot of programs that makes bootable usb sticks for linux [06:58] liveusbcreater [06:58] terje_, try ##windows [06:58] grub4dos [06:59] thanks, i'll try :) [07:00] terje_: Can you just pick the drive from windows from the CD? [07:00] Hi! I installed ubuntu 11 64 bit on my girlfriends laptop. (I myself use debian) What repositories should I list for her? [07:01] Kolt: You shouldn't need to list any extra repos [07:01] latagore: why not? [07:02] Kolt: Because there are repos provided by default [07:02] gstreamer [07:02] latagore: what do you mean? ;O [07:02] kolt: gstreamer [07:02] Kolt: Enable (like in debian) restricted and multiverse [07:04] terje_: When you are installing Windows from the CD, you should be able to pick the drive you want to install it on. Plug in a USB when booting and try and install like that [07:05] Kolt: Well, unless you need manufacturer drivers for your hardware, I don't see the need to [07:05] sounds like a lot of effort lol, in linux u can make bootable usb's with simple programs(UNetBootin), same in windows [07:05] qin: Alright I enabled everything that was listed by default. ty. [07:05] would be weird if u cant make a 'crossover' [07:05] latagore: How do I do this 'mark all upgrades' thing in ubuntu software center? [07:06] terje_: Do you mean make an installer on a USB or install the OS on the USB? [07:06] Kolt: You probably need to go into synaptic, you can run it in terminal [07:07] Kolt: though you need root privileges [07:07] latagore: I want to install windows 7 from a usb stick :) [07:07] So, Gnome 3 is replacing Gnome 2 in Ubuntu 11.10, isn't it? [07:07] latagore: I have. I use synaptic. I'll try that [07:08] Renton: yes [07:08] !ubuntu+1 [07:08] Oneiric Ocelot is the codename for Ubuntu 11.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [07:08] latagore: I got a windows 7 iso file which I want to make bootable on a usb stick [07:08] Well things like Unetbootin only create installers, not the OS [07:08] Dayum shame [07:08] terje_: Oh wait, I misread that [07:08] terje_: I did that with my hard disk, though it's a bit annoying [07:08] kolt you can make a dvd [07:09] bah I don't think I'm going to get it working [07:09] then use the dvd make a usb os [07:09] hey..Im using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. i have ZTE AC8700 data card with me. I have the the dialer driver for 32bit. its not letting me install it in my system saying wrong architecture. any solution? problem is i can access net via mobile broadband connection. but is super slow. It works very fast without disconnection in Windows.. :( [07:09] and you can use the usb install win7 [07:09] terje_: Lemme see if I can find the tutorial for you, I don't know any programs that do it for you [07:09] yangmeng: mabe you wanted to msg terje_ [07:09] latagore: alright, thx [07:10] so sorry [07:10] yangmeng: if I make a dvd with w7 on it, I dont need the USB any longer :s [07:11] well ,you can use a usb data card with grub [07:11] terje_: It'll be hard for me to find it, I can explain instead [07:12] latagore: pm [07:12] terje_:uss the grub ,you can make the iso work [07:12] Geez, I came to get help, not to give it lol [07:12] hey guys i have installed 11.04 and now i am in a deep problem [07:12] terje_:for example map /windows7.iso (0xff) [07:12] map --hook [07:13] chainloader (0xff) [07:13] boot [07:13] yangmeng: sry im not that experienced.. dont really know what you're talking about now :\ [07:13] this morning i started my computer and i am setting console with busy box v.1.17 and there is no gdm and not even terminal [07:14] hi.

[07:30] bkerensa, you can take your pc and burn a live linux cd of a live linux distro [07:30] pratz: if booting stops at busybox shell, something went wrong. probably the root filesystem could not be found. [07:30] then you can access the hdd and move files as you want to [07:30] LilleCarl: You genius... I totally forgot! [07:30] ;) [07:30] bkerensa: yeah, using a live cd would be better in that case [07:30] pratz, whay do you need ? [07:30] herkupus: can you please tell me a solution for this ?? [07:31] html-inprogress: i need to boot normally [07:31] pratz: no, since not finding the root filesystem may have many reasons [07:31] html-inprogress: pratz's system stops booting at the busybox emergency shell, probably the root fs isn't found [07:31] herkupus: what do you suggest, should i reinstall the system ?? === eitch0000 is now known as eitch [07:31] with what ? [07:31] herkpus & LilleCarl: Thanks... There damn BOOTMGR is dead and they didnt have a win cd so I was like ffs [07:32] Good thing I have a Natty LiveCD :) [07:32] as in evobuntu ? [07:32] kbrosnan, i think they were smart enough to remove "boot.ini" it is restorable without reinstalling if you know howto (sadly i dont) [07:33] bkerensa, *** [07:33] pratz: would be the easiest way. but something went wrong during this install, so why should it be different next time? [07:33] pratz: maybe your storage hardware is not fully supported [07:33] herkupus, you know a second try always helps ;) [07:34] herkupus: what you mean by storage hardware ?? [07:34] pratz: harddisk controller [07:34] herkupus: is it a hardware problem [07:34] herkupus: but i though linux has good support for hardware [07:35] im lost what os are you haveing trouble with ? [07:35] herkupus: *various hardwares [07:35] hello [07:35] pratz, it does but that does not mean your stuff is supported? :P [07:35] html-inprogress: ubunut 11.04 [07:35] anyone who can help me [07:35] i'm trying to do: ls *.ps|xargs -I{} mpage -2 {}>{}m0.ps anyway to get it to work?? [07:35] bash -c xargs.. [07:35] pratz: well, not each and all. it depends on how much the hardware manufacturers are cooperating with the open source driver developers. [07:35] I want to show ibus on the panel, but I have no idea how to do [07:36] thanks [07:36] veek, i tihnk #bash would be better for you [07:36] any other solution than reinstalling the system is appreciated, i am waiting for 60 mins for your help, else i will reinstall the system [07:36] thanks guys [07:37] LilleCarl: thanks [07:37] villa, then drag and drop [07:37] no problems veek :) [07:38] html-inprogress, ...

[07:49] herkupus: to get the full 3d experience, yeah.. but i just need something that works here [07:50] thanks zamba that worked :) [07:50] kalinka, just try again, gnome-terminal sometimes hungs up [07:50] Now everytime I want to install something, apt-get forced me to run dpkg --configure -a, and the same HTTP Proxy dialog appear, I can't do anything !! [07:51] kalinka, apt-get update [07:51] Rotham: put the option first: wget -O [07:51] LilleCarl: apt-get won't work, it keeps asking me to run dpkg --configure -a [07:51] hello everyone ... Im using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. i have ZTE AC8700 data card with me. I have the the dialer driver for 32bit. its not letting me install it in my system saying wrong architecture. any solution? problem is i can access net via mobile broadband connection. but is super slow. It works very fast without disconnection in Windows. im currently in Windows coz the net is not stable.... [07:51] ...ping takes 1000+ms whereas in windows its less than 300ms.. while downloading in ubuntu ive got upto 60kbps, but browsing is super slow. mostly goes timed out... please help me with this, without making the data card work i cant shift to ubuntu from windows [07:52] kalinka, none of the apt commands? because when a installation hungs up then you need to repair some index or smth [07:52] I posted a question to msttcorefonts package maintainer in lauchpad, still no luck [07:52] kalinka, it might be gnome-terminal! happened to me several times that it just hungs up :S [07:52] LilleCarl: i'm using kde termial [07:53] kalinka, hmm nvm then xD [07:53] kalinka: why not run the dpkg....... ? [07:54] I think the msttcorefonts package is really broken, the problem is how to get rid that dialog [07:54] almoxarife: the http proxy dialog will appear, and I can't input anything, can't press enter [07:56] I know this might be a rather off-topic question, but I've just overwrote a important file with echo > -- on a NTFS partition, is there any way to recover it? [07:57] kalinka: you in a terminal? [07:57] I've tried looking with debugfs / testdisk.... [07:57] almoxarife: http://imageshack.us/f/94/snapshot3g.png/ here, the screenshot [07:58] that dialog won't disappear whatever I do [07:58] and it comes back everytime I run dpkg --configure -a [07:59] Hi!

[10:29] whowantstolivefo: ok.. thats fine, just didn't make sense yu're asking for a progra "like...." and the program you linked to, has a linux version, but that makes sense [10:30] whowantstolivefo: can't you use the "built in" remote desktop tool in Ubuntu? [10:31] KM0201: how can i do this ? built in ? i am sorry as i say before, i am newbie :) [10:31] whowantstolivefo: no offense, but as new as you are, are you sure yu're prepared to manage 40 pc's?

[10:33] whowantstolivefo: but honestly (don't know what your network does).. if you need a secure connection, ubuntu's remote desktop utility, is not what you want to use... you really need to look at a secure ssh connection [10:34] hi any1 can help me pls [10:34] i just have 1 simple question [10:34] budy_ not if you don't tell your problem [10:34] KM0201: ratc : thanks for help and suggestions i will look internet and get some informations about your comments.

[10:41] oh, work in progress [10:41] work in progress [10:41] i agree... [10:42] theres some visceral overreaction to it [10:42] but frankly, Unity sucks... i cannot get used to that crappy interface, after seeing Gnome 3, i see it only getting worse.. so i had to make a change.. start getting used to something else... cuz i will not use KDE> [10:42] the_misfit: why would someone want a "netbook interface" on a 21in monitor? [10:43] KM0201: good point [10:43] the_misfit: the interface, makes sense on netbooks, and probably for some users, even on some laptops... but on a desktop? it just looks ridiculous. [10:44] KM0201: its coming along though, read the unity report (weekly, lol) on omgbuntu [10:45] the_misfit: see, the thing is.. 11.04, unity is obviously very rough... 11.10, it'll probably be a bit better, but by 11.10, they'r egoing to be trying to implement gnome 3... which is liable to make 11.10 suck pretty hard to... my point is, ubuntu may not see a halfway decent release again, until 12.04, maybe 12.10 [10:45] dunno, ubuntu is going for mainstream usability pretty much, and thats the whole point [10:45] the_misfit: i think Ubuntu is trying to be a Mac... which is the wrong direction to go, IMO. [10:46] please help me out: who set irc channel topic ?...or how to set it? [10:46] the_misfit: oh well, it doesn't matter to me, thank heavens for choice.. i switched to lxde, and love it [10:46] sktn07: operators set the irc topic [10:46] sktn07: why on earth would you want to set the topic?... if you don't know how to do it, you have no business changing it. [10:46] KM0201: relax, he's prob new to irc [10:47] the_misfit: if he's that new to IRC, why is he wanting to change the topic on a 1500 person IRC channeL?... [10:47] KM0201: he never said for this channel [10:47] Please try being a little less brusque [10:47] hmm, then why come here?... it's not really ubuntu related.

For example, how do I know what packages are for oneric versus lucid or one of the other distributions? I tried to follow the Live CD Customization and somehow installed perl for oneric but everything else for natty << yea donno what happened there? [11:02] Scribbled2x: do you mean the packages that came with the CD for each version of Ubuntu? [11:03] Scribbled2x: something like this ? http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu [11:05] the_misfit - sorry no, what I meant was I would like to install oneric without a graphical interface, I tried this but somehow installed components to natty -- [11:05] Scribbled2x: oh, like a makeshift custom distro of oneric [11:06] yes [11:06] exactly - [11:06] Howdy [11:07] I need to liveCD to perform one specific function - no installer, no X, blah blah blah - but I need it to run a web server, htdig, perl, and all of that. The problem was that I installed perl for one version of ubuntu and the rest for another version of ubuntu [11:07] prolly cause it was a retarded moment in my life :| [11:08] the_misfit: like for example, what is vs 11.04 is that oneric or is that something else [11:08] top says root is using 100% of my memory?!

I want to do this live CD - made the first one working, but problems came in because I used wrong dbootstrap .... (i think). How do I do this so that I am using all files for the correct version? I mean where exactly was my retard moment so that I don't make the same mistake? [11:14] to do a live cd , what do you mean, Scribbled2x? [11:14] Scribbled2x: one advise is that you check that you have a md5sum match of the iso-file you downloaded and then burn it at slowest speed and do not use the computer for anything else [11:15] Scribbled2x: then when you boot from the live-cd you will se an option in the bootmenu.. check if media is ok or something, then if all fine you shouldn't have any problem or at least not with the install media ;) [11:17] Blueskaj: I started following instructions for Live CD Customization, during the process it talked about doing things for the various versions. My version of choice what oneric, but somehow (unwittingly) I used components of natty.

[11:19] Scribbled2x: ok so you wanted to make a custom lie-cd? [11:19] live* [11:19] Scribbled2x, don't change your sources.list , for oneiric do , sudo do-release-upgrade -d , the sources will then autodtae to oneiric as well as all installed packages [11:19] what is GtK [11:20] ok I was here earlier...I gae up on that problem. if anyonetells mehow to fix it Ill burn the whole world/..welll.........I dont tihnk my scrneensohtos wouldve helped...helllo...then why did I come back..im no ....i...nm...

[16:07] change network to open? so deactivating the protection of the router? [16:07] sry i was windows user -> so noob ;) [16:07] werwaffel: temporarly [16:07] okay [16:07] and then try to connect? [16:07] Pici: yes, I did :-/, so that is standard behaviour with that package? [16:07] werwaffel: Also reset dhcp lease. [16:08] guntbert: Yes. You can change it using dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges or just remove the package. [16:08] Pici: thx [16:08] ah .. well it is working on Windows (i still have installed it)... so i dont think it the problem could be at the router === Guest92637 is now known as arrrcanum42 [16:09] and my Gateway doesnt work :/ [16:09] werwaffel: No, but from time to time there is problem on lan, one machine can successfully block another, thats partly dhcp problem. [16:10] hmm :/ [16:10] okay reset dhcp lease... could you please tell me how? :/ [16:10] werwaffel: Did you lod to router? [16:10] *log === fairuz1 is now known as fairuz_ [16:11] the gateway log tells me that i dont connected to router... huh? i'm connected to the router now [16:12] i dont connect to router* [16:12] can someone tell me if there is a cmd to see how many files are in the database like the msg when uninstalling with synaptic [16:13] werwaffel: what ip have eth0 in: ifconfig [16:13] 192.168.178.30 [16:14] eth0 [16:14] werwaffel: looks starange, can you: ping google.co.uk [16:15] yes [16:15] ping does work [16:15] werwaffel: traceroute google.co.uk, 1. is your router ip, put it in browser. [16:16] okay first how can i stop ping? [16:16] hi all [16:16] my gnome-panel wont autostart since i upgraded to gnome 3 [16:16] werwaffel: ctrl+c [16:16] thx [16:16] werwaffel: Ctrl-C [16:16] !who | werwaffel [16:16] werwaffel: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[16:18] any idea ? [16:19] TrD, gnome3 is not supported here [16:19] !gnome3 | TrD [16:19] TrD: 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. [16:19] which is stable version of "ubuntu studio" ? [16:19] werwaffel: Possibly 192.168.178.1 [16:19] Bhavesh_A_P: All released versions are stable. [16:19] thank you bazhang & ubottu [16:19] @qin: yes [16:19] @qin: I Put it in my browser [16:20] werwaffel: Open this ip in browser, log in and find dhcp settings or home network. [16:20] I have a question; how do I change the password of my root account on a remote box? [16:20] I barely had the time to secure it down and it already got hacked o.O [16:21] TimothyA: We don't support having a root password set, you should be securing it with sudo. [16:21] TimothyA: disable root login [16:21] .... [16:21] so then how do I do root actions from now on if I can't log in as root in the first place? [16:21] TimothyA: Use sudo. [16:21] Pici: i was in the progress of securing it! [16:21] THERE IS NO SUDO [16:21] TimothyA: If you got owned, rebuild server === rgr is now known as Guest59329 [16:21] .... [16:21] TimothyA: why not? [16:21] IT'S BEEN FIVE MINUTES [16:22] TimothyA: Please lose the caps. [16:22] TimothyA: What program? [16:22] ... [16:22] program?! [16:22] PROGRAM!? [16:22] TimothyA: stop [16:22] TimothyA: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:22] TimothyA: Sorry. [16:22] TimothyA: The root account is not normally enabled nor does it have a password set by default. [16:23] Pici: then I'm wondering why it was in the first place [16:23] and I need to recover the account [16:23] TimothyA: I see that you're using linode, I'm on one too right now. VPSes often use custom setups by default. [16:23] unfortunately, this is not a linode [16:24] it's a dedicated server at leaseweb [16:24] I can boot into rescue mode, would that help with anything? [16:24] Hi guys. I have installed Natty using Wubi installer and am sharing a folder on the host computer. I used Samba to share it on the network and have allowed guest access. There are some users who can access my folder from a windows computer, but other's can't see the folder at all. Do you think that's something on my end or the other computer? [16:25] TimothyA: I'm not sure how much that is going to help you. If you are already comprimised, there is no telling what malicious things are lurking on there now. [16:25] I doubt he could have done anything in 2 seconds [16:26] I still don't know how he managed to bruteforce a 256 long character password in the first place [16:26] werwaffel: sounds like DNS to me. If you run: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf delete all the text and add: nameserver 8.8.8.8 save the new file, then try web browsing :) [16:26] TimothyA: Anyway, if you boot from recovery mode you should be able to change your root password. You then can work on securing it properly. [16:26] TimothyA: Fisrt think is to get all logs to review situation. [16:26] TimothyA: That does sound fishy. [16:27] i want just update one package and not want to install all updates. apt-get upgrade XXX not work ? what'is correct command [16:27] sweb: apt-get install XXX [16:27] !tab ActionParsnip are you sure i shoukd do this? [16:27] werwaffel: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:27] werwaffel: Don't put !tab in front of your messages. [16:27] werwaffel: yes, the file is generated ny network manager at boot, we can make the change permanent if it works [16:28] @ActionParsnip: im not the only user in my network... and i dont want to interrupt the other users :/ [16:28] @ActionParsnip: hmm okay [16:28] http://lepios.org [16:28] @ActionParsnip: im going to try to connect again [16:29] sweb - sudo apt-get install thepackagename [16:30] hi guys [16:31] Hey, i am having some issues with ATI drivers for the millionth time, is there any way that i can completely remove ALL GFX drivers from my machine? === BlouBlou is now known as BlouTroll [16:31] does anyone know where can I get a package for kernel 2.6.39 for 11.04? i used to go to the kernel-team ppa, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working... [16:31] Ceno3x: why would you want that kernel ? [16:31] Hi, i want to swap my CapsLock key with left control key.How can i do that in ubuntu 10.4 ? [16:32] furqan: xbinkeys? [16:32] ikonia: I'm having issues with virtualbox and I think it's a kernel bug [16:32] Ceno3x: google ubuntu kernel deb [16:32] and use it on your own risk [16:32] Ceno3x: why ? [16:32] @ActionParsnip: its still not working [16:32] qin, what is this. sorry i'm noob? [16:33] xangua: is 11.10 running 2.6.39? maybe I could get a package from its reps? [16:33] @ActionParsnip: Ubuntu is always telling me i need a permission to connect... and i have to enter my Key [16:33] @ActionParsnip: Then i do it [16:33] @ActionParsnip: And its connecting very long [16:33] Ceno3x: no [16:33] Ceno3x: do not do that [16:33] werwaffel: automatic login enabled¿ [16:33] Ceno3x: why do you think you have a kernel bug [16:33] werwaffel: does the dmesg output tell you anything? [16:33] @ActionParsnip: And it asks for permission again [16:33] xangua: Please don't refer people to google like that. [16:33] werwaffel: could try disabling ipv6 [16:33] @ActionParsnip: what dmesg? [16:34] of course, it refuses to boot into rescue mode [16:34] furqan: Application which let you maniupalate input devices, but better would be to edit keboard layout. [16:34] werwaffel: just after you re-enter the password, run: dmesg | tail what is output? === BlouTroll is now known as BlouBlou [16:34] ikonia: it's a medium sized explanation, are you familiar with virtualbox and how the kernel works, those kind of things? [16:34] Ceno3x: yes [16:34] @ActionParsnip: I could paste it in pastebin... moment [16:35] qin, but how can i do that? [16:35] Ceno3x: ok, so I was running 10.04 last week and I set up a VM with 10.04 running the xenomai kernel, and all was good [16:35] ikonia: see above, sorry [16:36] Ceno3x: I see [16:36] @ActionPasnip: http://pastebin.com/Vq7ak7ry [16:36] Hello, I've been using Ubuntu for a while now (installed with wubi). Today, when I booted Ubuntu; It told me that something is corrupted/missing and told me to do 'chkdsk /r' in Windows. So I did this and rebooted to Windows and again to Ubuntu, but It gave me the same screen again. [16:36] ikonia: now I installed kubuntu 11.04, and it's not good. I installed vbox, imported my VM, installed the latest guest additions, but my system freezes if I try to do a heavy disk operation like copying a large file, or installing a large program [16:37] Ceno3x: ok, why do you think that is a kernel bug ? [16:37] Also my version is 10.04 Lucid [16:37] I hope I didn't lose all my data and need to reinstall ubuntu... [16:37] werwaffel: if you drop the @ symbol when addressing people, it will highlight the name like my text does to you [16:38] ActionParsnip: Okay [16:38] werwaffel: http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/2008/06/21/a-much-simpler-fix-for-the-r8169-link-down-problem [16:38] ikonia: because the only difference between ubuntu 10.04 and 11.04 from vbox's perspective is the kernel, and there's a big warning saying that due to a kernel bug running an ext4 guest on a ext4 host can cause problems. the warning was always there, but I'm only witnessing any effect now [16:39] ActionParsnip: maybe some things i say sound weird... im german and im trying the best to translate good ;) [16:39] I also tried looking for the c:\found.0000 But nothing was found [16:39] ikonia: makes sense? I might be mistaken, and I hope I am, it'd be a lot less trouble for me [16:39] Ceno3x: then use ext3.... === Bhavesh_A_P_ is now known as Bhavesh_A_P [16:39] Ceno3x: to work around that bug just enable host i/o cache for the virtual sata controller === ticaozinho is now known as tdutra [16:39] guntbert: tried it, no effect [16:40] ActionParsnip: that requires reinstalling and I'd like to avoid that [16:40] Ceno3x: no, if the vm is corrupted already [16:40] s/no,/not/ [16:41] Ceno3x: may be the way forward, you can always use !clone + backups [16:41] guntbert: I don't think there was any filesystem corruption per se, after the system freeze I loaded it again and it was like nothing hhapened [16:41] ohk bye [16:41] ActionParsnip: my problem is the custom kernel I'm running, configuring and compiling takes a while... [16:42] ActionParsnip: the bug may happen when the host system is ext4 and the sata controller is used [16:42] Ceno3x, look at the io schedulers maybe idk [16:42] ActionParsnip: what would change if i solve the problem in the way you sent? (Sry i didnt got the text complete... more complexe english) [16:42] Ceno3x: from what you tell me I suspect it is not *that* bug [16:42] werwaffel: not sure, seems to be a thing I found. Are you plugging an d unplugging the wired connection? [16:43] Ceno3x: ok - so why do you think that bug is fixed in the later kernel ? [16:43] guntbert: probably not. but it's probably a kernel thing, don't you agree? [16:43] ikonia: there's only one way to find out... [16:43] Ceno3x: and the kernel is not the only difference, the libraries that run the OS are different, the binarys that make up the virtual machine are different [16:43] Ceno3x: I cannot guess :) [16:43] Ceno3x: could try the 3.x kernel [16:43] Ceno3x: no - that's not the way to do it, updating random comre components of the OS [16:43] ActionParsnip: Yes every time i try to connect via WLAN [16:43] hi, when you have an icon set where is the ubuntu badge stored that shows up on the applications panel? [16:44] werwaffel: I see, then that explains the dmesg alerts so you don't have an issue there. [16:44] I have to files with lists of names, I want to see which names are missing in one of the lists. diff checks line by line, not what I need. Options? [16:44] *two [16:44] werwaffel: can you give a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; rfkill list [16:44] dageriv: sort them prior to diffing... [16:44] ikonia: indeed, it's just a hunch. that would be easily verifiable if there was a kernel package available... I was going straight to kvm, but I had that idea [16:44] koffeehaus, not sure, maybe usr share icons [16:45] Ceno3x: a hunch - you've not done any research on it and you want upgrade a core component of the OS [16:45] sudokill i'm in usr/share/icons/themeN right now, but can;t find the badge [16:45] ikonia: why are you so shocked with the idea of the upgrading the kernl? [16:45] Ceno3x: there is so much more to incestigate [16:46] ikonia: yes, but I have a thesis to write < [16:46] ikonia: incestigate haaha [16:46] Ceno3x, a lot of people use vbox with standard kernel [16:46] fine [16:46] :s [16:46] Ceno3x: I'm not, I'm shocked at doing it randomly taking your system to an unsupported state with zero reason to believe it is the problem or the fix [16:47] new to linux how do i install a game on it [16:47] luc_: what game do you want to install [16:47] Ceno3x: We can't support you installing weird kernel versions anyway. If you were to go that route, you'd be on your own. [16:47] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/JH0eQ96r [16:47] big mutha trucker 2 [16:48] Ceno3x: I can help you with debugging to try to get to the real issue, or at least the ball park [16:48] i agree, i thought the ubuntu kernel ws heavily patched? [16:48] luc_: is that available for Linux [16:48] sudokill: not massivly, but there are patches there [16:48] how do i find out [16:48] luc_: go the company that provides it and see if there is a linux version [16:48] luc_, its a windows game afaik you need a program called wine [16:48] ikonia: ok, that'd be very nice of you. here's what happened. VM boots, wget 1.2gb file, the system freezes , after 5m the VM is aborted. [16:48] Can anyone help me out with ATI drivers? [16:49] Ceno3x: so it's only the guest that locks up - not the host ? [16:49] luc_: Linux is not Windows, you can't just run Windows programs on Linux. [16:49] !appdb > luc_ [16:49] luc_, please see my private message [16:49] !wine > luc_ [16:49] ikonia: the I\O operation on the guest causes the whole computer to freeze [16:49] io from wget? [16:49] Ceno3x: does the whole computer come back to life, or is it totally lcoked for ever ? [16:50] i have wine how to run it [16:50] sudokill: yeah, that doesn't sound realistic [16:50] how u delete your old [16:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/638961/ - Anyone able to help with my problem ;_;?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:50] dee27: What account? What nick?

If i boot up in Ubuntu (or safe Ubuntu) i get a black screen, and i have booted up a live USB and chrooted into the linux partition, but no matter what configuration of drivers and removals i do i can't seem to get any life out of it! I have a couple of ideas as to why it might not work, but i woudl really appreciate a second opinion! Thanks : ) [16:51] Ceno3x: ok - so here is one suggestion to try - you believe this is a known bug between an ext4 vm and a ext4 host, change your host or your guest to ext3, or xfs and try it [16:51] i try to remove the old nick [16:51] Ceno3x: that will guide you towards or away from that bug [16:51] but says im not logged in? [16:51] dee27: old nick from where [16:51] dee27: /join #freenode please [16:52] anyone know what this message means? Sound Juicer could not read the track listing on this CD.

[16:53] ActionParsnip: okay i'm going to reboot and make a pastebin after.... moment [16:53] ikonia: not exactly. there's a different bug in running virtualbox on an ext4 host. I believe it may be somehow related, but it's not the same bug. Is there any way to migrate the ext4fs to ext3 without reinstaling the whole system? [16:54] hi [16:54] ouch - my root pwd seems to be gone [16:54] Ceno3x, you can mount ext4 as ext3 [16:54] any idea how to recover that [16:54] ?

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 [16:54] tilerendering: well, usually in ubuntu you don't have a root password... [16:54] sudokill: really? by changing fstab? how? [16:54] Ceno3x: not really, [16:54] Ceno3x: it's still an ext4 file system [16:54] well but... I cant figure the pwd for sudo either :/ [16:55] Ceno3x: ok - lets try a different approach [16:55] It's your own password [16:55] tilerendering: hint, its your password. [16:55] tilerendering: it's your own [16:55] You can only mount ext4 partitions as ext3 if they don't use extents. It's probably using extents. [16:55] if you don't know your own password, well, that's another problem :) [16:55] Ceno3x: instead of doing a wget, do something like a large file copy or an scp see if that causes the io problem you see [16:55] ikonia: formating the drive is my last resort, my host took forever to install properly, my guest is running a custom real time kernel that I have to compile manualy again [16:55] scorchgeek: the problem is, I dont have my own pwd anymore :/ [16:55] ActionParsnip: i just tried to use dmesg > ~ ... dmesg.txt wasnt found [16:55] lol [16:55] Ceno3x, realtime kernel? why [16:56] tilerendering: do you own the box?

It will be in 11.10. [17:01] rww: thanks [17:01] sudokill: but are you albe to help me? :P [17:01] *able [17:01] Hi guys what s up [17:01] Ceno3x: eg: the real time clock depends on very accurate timings, by default a vm will not give out accurate timing [17:01] ok - so is there no possibility to reset this without knowing the original pwd ? I can connect to the machine via ssh with my key === nick is now known as Guest41864 [17:01] ikonia: I tried with the stock kernel from ubuntu 10.04 and the problem was the same, so I don't think it's related [17:01] I have a prob [17:02] when in the terminal [17:02] Ceno3x: so your guest is ubuntu 10.04 ? [17:02] inputfile is what??? [17:02] ikonia: yep [17:02] Snake__: for what? [17:02] !enter | Snake__ [17:02] Snake__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:02] :| [17:02] ActionParsnip: [17:02] http://pastebin.com/UjbxgD0h [17:03] Ceno3x: the reason I'm dubious on this is that if there was a problem with the 11.04 kernel I'd expect many people to be logging a bug that they can't use it with 10.04 guests, but they are no [17:03] not [17:03] Yatora: is it slow in all players? [17:03] ActionParsnip: it plays well when I use GL output [17:03] but it's slow in Flash, and all the other outputs from mplayer [17:03] Yatora: tried a different output? [17:04] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/kbaN6TQY [17:04] ikonia: i had a tough time phrasing the problem in google to get related information. How would you confirm what you just said? go to launchpad and search the bugs? [17:04] Pici: I did a quick search using Synaptic before I posted here. I also found that a few packages are DLNA compliant. But a DLNA compliant server is not among them. -- I notice that has responded with an outlook to Ubuntu 11.10. [17:04] bullgard4: Yep, I saw that as well :) [17:04] I am having issues trying to restore my graphics basically. If i boot up in Ubuntu (or safe Ubuntu) i get a black screen, and i have booted up a live USB and chrooted into the linux partition, but no matter what configuration of drivers and removals i do i can't seem to get any life out of it! I have a couple of ideas as to why it might not work, but i woudl really appreciate a second opinion! Thanks : ) [17:04] ActionParsnip: Yes, all the ones available in Gnome Mplayer [17:04] rww: Thank you for this valuable information. [17:04] Ceno3x: that's one reason, but I am normally in this channel, and #vbox and it's not being mentioned [17:05] If I m in the terminal and the code is blablablabla blablablabla what is input file??? [17:05] hey people - I can connect to the machine with my ssh key. but i dont know my pwd. is there a way to recover it ? without booting into safe mode ? I am logged in with my user, I just want to know my pwd [17:05] Ceno3x: that's not "fact" but it's the norm if there was a problem of that size [17:05] If I m in the terminal and the code is blablablabla blablablabla what is input file??? [17:05] Snake__: please start making sense [17:05] Snake__: the name of the file you want to use for input... [17:05] ActionParsnip: GL was the only one giving a smooth playback, but caused problems with object over video [17:05] Snake__: ask a proper question with a proper example [17:06] tilerendering, that would be a security risk [17:06] ikonia: yeah, I believe you, I was just asking because I was trouble searching about it and it ocurred that maybe I should've gone to launchpad [17:06] omfg [17:06] Snake__: like 'insert [17:06] so there is now way ? [17:06] no way I mean ? [17:06] tilerendering: Just reset your password [17:06] how [17:06] Ceno3x: it's a reasonable question - I did check launchpad after your second post on the matter [17:06] with passwd ? [17:06] tilerendering: passwd [17:06] then it asks me my current password. [17:06] which I dont know. [17:06] tilerendering: correct. passwd is coded to require your current password. [17:06] :/ [17:06] tilerendering, every option involves you either su-ing to root or physical access [17:06] tilerendering: you will have to use safe mode or a live cd to set a new password. [17:06] holy omfg crap [17:07] tilerendering, you can do safemode, take out the hd, etc [17:07] tilerendering: control the language [17:07] oh my god. [17:07] So any ideas on how to install specific versions of php.. ? [17:07] tilerendering: this is an obvious security precaution: if you could change your password without supplying the current one, someone could change your password if you left yourself logged in [17:07] I have no physical access to the instance [17:07] ok let s say I recorded something with my camera and I want to encode it to another format [17:07] tilerendering, instance? as in vps? [17:07] amazon ec2 [17:07] is input file the file of the video I recorded with my camera? [17:07] tilerendering: you can request a password reset [17:07] ikonia: maybe the problem is me importing the appliance? I'm gonna try to install stock ubuntu 10.04 on a new one and see if the problem persists, the installation is rather quick [17:07] tilerendering, of course you have "physical" access! [17:08] ikonia: wheren and how ? [17:08] werwaffel: I can suggest trying a different wireless channel, may help [17:08] Snake__: the program reads the inputfile and outputs to the new file.. yes.. [17:08] Ceno3x: I'm not going anywhere, let me know [17:08] tilerendering: through the amazon support resources [17:08] tilerendering, is it ebs backed? [17:08] ok thanks [17:08] ActionParsnip: how? [17:08] smw - yes, but hand-mounted ebs-volume, root is not ebs [17:08] werwaffel: change it in your router [17:08] tilerendering, in that case, you are screwed :-) [17:08] so rebooting without making sure that everything is unmounted properly before that is not possible [17:09] ikonia: ok, thx for the help, I'm downloading the iso now [17:09] tilerendering, use root ebs ;-) [17:09] fuckit. [17:09] tilerendering, if you do a stop, it will unmount fine === r00t_ is now known as Guest88032 [17:09] is it possible to install Lamp and Geany in ubuntu? === Guest88032 is now known as toothpick [17:10] Guest88032: sure, they are both in the package repositories [17:10] I've tried [17:10] ActionParsnip: whats the problem with my wlan? is it the realtek card or just ubuntu? [17:10] toothpick: And? Are you having an issue? [17:10] This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time [17:10] So, I just Fedora. [17:10] ~tried [17:10] This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time [17:10] toothpick: can you pastebin the entire message?

[17:11] tilerendering: you're muted in the channel, please check your private messages [17:11] werwaffel: the driver may be more susceptible to oise [17:11] BTW, the ubuntu user community is, pparently, "too friendly". [17:11] AlexDevilLX|Away: use alltray [17:12] ActionParsnip: which channel should i use? [17:12] hi folks [17:12] but applet [17:12] Hello [17:12] ActionParsnip: the standard was "Auto" [17:12] ghsh: zeitgeist is a tool that records what you work on and how long. so you can monitor what you have been doing and other things like that. [17:12] werwaffel: scan to see what is in use and don't use that one [17:12] is it possible to resize the root partition from the recovery mode? [17:12] yassine: you'll need the livecd [17:12] How to hide evolution into mail applet, where pidgin is located? [17:12] yassine: you dont resize an in use fileystem [17:12] dr_willis: thanks -- time to get rid of that then! [17:12] yassine, gparted live cd is great for this [17:12] AlexDevilLX|Away: yes, alltray will do that [17:13] ghsh: its a neat tool. but i have no use for it.. someone who actually works for a living on their pc may need it. [17:13] Anyway, if any others have had video playback problems on their ubuntu installation, and also tried the classic environment without any luck, it would be nice to know if there is a solution. :) [17:13] ActionParsnip: And will the icon show, that there is a new message [17:13] ActionParsnip: if i change the channel would it change something for other users of the router? [17:13] dr_willis: not me [17:13] http://pastebin.com/ScHvpEhC [17:13] Are there email clients, that work with mail applet [17:13] ghsh: you barely even know what it does. [17:13] ActionParsnip, dr_willis smw thanks i was thinking one can do some remounting with rw permission from the recovery console but apparently there is no way except the livecd one thanks all again [17:13] AlexDevilLX|Away: it will use the notify OSD as usual [17:14] dr_willis: it's at the top of TOP so it's gone [17:14] I just switched over from Mint to Ubuntu and I'm having the worst time trying to get anything to work [17:14] ActionParsnip: But it doesnt [17:14] what you going to do when 'top' is at the top of top..... === Anthraxium-64 is now known as Guest66897 [17:14] dr_willis: reboot :P [17:15] toothpick: let me take a look, one moment. [17:15] AlexDevilLX|Away: http://gnome.eu.org/evo/index.php/Evolution_Tray seen that before? [17:15] hi can anyone help me run my gmailwatcher app. it stopped running suddenly and now refuses to start even. it was working gd before. http://pastebin.com/YF7AUZrr [17:15] dr_willis: the point is to much memory for something not used [17:15] is this the right place to ask questions about postfix/dovecot setup? [17:15] ActionParsnip: Nope, i'll look at it now [17:15] woody73: /join #dovecot [17:16] toothpick: Can you pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy apache2.2-common [17:16] ActionParsnip: I need it to hide in applet, where pidgin is stored [17:16] thx @ Middle [17:16] Pidgin works fine [17:17] AlexDevilLX|Away: yes that is the same place [17:17] i'll try [17:17] AlexDevilLX|Away: did you not websearch any? [17:17] AlexDevilLX|Away: I don't even use evolution and I found that..

I've used the mouse in other distros perfectly but now it happens that randomly after some time it will start to act buggy and click things things by itself, I have to unplug it and plug it back. Any idea what could be going wrong? [17:19] ciao a tutti [17:19] murlidhar: have you checked the line mentioned in ~/.fonts.conf [17:19] !it | albe_ [17:19] albe_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [17:19] toothpick: Are you rinning Ubuntu or Mint? [17:19] Middle: add the bootoption: nomodeset [17:19] ActionParsnip: nopes [17:19] ActionParsnip: It's tray, no in applet [17:19] let me check that. [17:19] I run ubuntu 10, recently upgraded from 8. I have a script that spawns php for use with nginx using the command spawn-fcgi -f php-cgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8888 -u php -g wwwdata. This worked fine on Ubuntu 8. That command is also in /etc/rc.local. Now with Ubuntu 10, while the initial spawn works, I always find after some hours that PHP is no longer running. This is a production server, so a quite odd issue. nothing in /var/log/messages [17:20] murlidhar: the error points to the file, should help [17:20] ubuntu 10.4 [17:20] I completely reformatted last night [17:20] libxslt/xsltutils.h anyone ? (can't find in a package, can you?) [17:20] sarahh: cant say ive noticed that issue with my mouse. but its been a while since ive had that box powered on. You may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com if others have a similer issue [17:20] murlidhar: my system doesn't have ~/.fonts.conf [17:21] ikonia: are you still around? the VM was aborted as soon as the installation began [17:21] !find xsltutils.h [17:21] File xsltutils.h found in libxslt1-dev [17:21] toothpick: Then remove the mint CD from your computer and run apt-get update and then try again. [17:21] strk: there is is :) [17:21] toothpick: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release === Will|- is now known as Will| [17:22] Ceno3x: yes, I'm here [17:22] ActionParsnip: ah well its optional actually. i set it up but now have removed it but it still should work now.. but it isn't [17:22] Ceno3x: ok - so that's a good sign (sort of) that the issue is with the host [17:22] !find xslt-config [17:22] File xslt-config found in libmodxslt0-dev, libxslt1-dev [17:22] murlidhar: weird [17:22] murlidhar: surely the error is different though? [17:23] ActionParsnip: How can i scan in Ubuntu which WLAN channels are used? [17:23] hello [17:23] I have a zombie process now owned by init but there are some tcp connections that just won't die, how can I get init to reap the zombie? [17:23] i want to put my user citizen666 in the ww-data group how i may do this ( on a server command line only ) [17:23] werwaffel: sudo iwlist scan [17:24] citizenD3SK: sudo usermod -a -G ww-data citizen666 [17:24] hi [17:24] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/wQv0J6kh [17:25] thank you :) [17:25] ActionParsnip: May a Channel change cause any problems for other users of my router? [17:25] werwaffel: they will need to re-associate [17:25] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/dHQjPXZi [17:25] Pici: before I reformatted, I did make an apt back up on a cd thinking that it would save time, it isn't in the computer, and I haven't (or don't think that I have) installed anything off of it [17:25] ActionParsnip: here is the new pastebin of the error. [17:26] toothpick: Then remove it from your /etc/apt/sources.list [17:26] murlidhar: ok what is the output of: apt-cache policy gmailwatcher [17:26] toothpick: then why do you have the mint cd in your sources file?? [17:27] ikonia: tried installation with an ext3 partition, it was less agressive but I almost couldn't shutdown the VM. Yes, the VMs are fine, something with the host is at fault. The only thing I have non-standard is the xorg-edgers ppa [17:27] are there russians here? [17:27] ActionParsnip: http://ppa.launchpad.net/loneowais/ppa/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages [17:27] pirate: try #ubuntu-ru [17:27] Ceno3x: long shot - what about a hardware error ? [17:27] thanks [17:28] ActionParsnip: doesnt work [17:28] murlidhar: then you are using a 3rd party repo which we cannot support. I suggest you contact the ppa maintainer [17:28] ikonia: like a problem with the disk? I doubt it, everything is fine except for vbox... [17:28] ActionParsnip: should i try http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/2008/06/21/a-much-simpler-fix-for-the-r8169-link-down-problem (i havent yet) [17:28] ActionParsnip: okiez [17:29] werwaffel: thats for the wired link so isn't relevant [17:29] ActionParsnip: okay [17:29] werwaffel: if the other channel is no good too then switch it back, we are now a little wiser :) [17:29] Ceno3x: I'm thinking more ram - as in reality it's all ram driven [17:29] Pici and ActionParsnip - Thank you! [17:30] Is it possible to downgrade Natty? [17:30] !downgrade | Yatora [17:30] Yatora: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [17:30] Ceno3x: I appreciate that's not the best diagnosis, [17:30] ikonia: hm, with ext4 the VM was aborted during the formating, does this happen in ram? at some point it has to be commited to disk at least. As a side note, I'm also passing pcie_aspm=force as a boot parameter [17:31] ikonia: lol I've been at this since yesterday, you still think trying a different kernel is useless? [17:31] Ceno3x: it doesn't happen "in ram" but think about it, your machine is a machine running in the ram of a guest, which has ram allocated to it from the ram of a guest [17:31] Ceno3x: I don't think this is a kernel problem in honesty [17:32] Ceno3x: that doesn't mean I'm right, but there is nothing you've said that points at a kernel issue beyond the hard lock - which makes me lean more towards a hardware issue at this time === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest31594 [17:32] How lonf does it suposed to take to print something in Ubuntu?

[17:34] carbon_: lspci -vv and find your nic [17:34] why does aptitude think the latest version of firefox is 3.6? [17:34] ikonia: the thing is it's related to filesystem operation, there might be some weird thing going on there you see. Jumping to a hardware problem is I think much more far-fetched, everything was fine 4 days ago when it was a 10.04 host instead of 11.04... [17:34] safire: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [17:34] Ceno3x: I don't disagree, but a hard lock is unlikley, a kernel issue would panic/dump normally, hard lock is normally linked to the hardware (at a very generic level) [17:35] 10.10 [17:35] guys whenever i open banshee it says there was a fatal error [17:35] bastidrazor: will the -vv show me the module ?

[17:35] safire: alrighty. two relevant factoids for you: [17:35] !latest | safire [17:35] safire: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

[17:37] !lamp [17:37] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[17:37] ikonia: anyway, thanks for your interest in the situation, I'm gonna try removing the boot parameter, if that doesn't work I'm gonna go for kvm and start over [17:37] Ceno3x: agreed, it's not a very factual diagnoses, and what you've said about working on 10.04 does move away from it being a hardware problem [17:37] how do I upgrade my LibreOffice?

[17:38] or update [17:38] ubottu: The only reason I'm upgrading is because firefox 3.6 + adobe plugin isn't stable [17:38] safire: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:38] safire: because as the first factoid says, we don't generally upgrade to new major versions of software after release, to prevent introducing bugs or functionality changes [17:38] ikonia: yes it did, so I removed the package, installed the same version I was running (4.06) and imported the appliances again, to no avail [17:39] Ceno3x: how did you install the same version ? [17:39] ikonia: got the package from the website [17:39] Ceno3x: from the vbox website ? [17:40] ikonia: yep [17:40] rww: the adobe plugin crashes on multiple pdfs, that's not very stable -.- [17:40] Ceno3x: did you do that because you where having a problem with the one packaged in ubuntu, or just to keep the versions the same [17:41] hii [17:41] howdy [17:41] whats my root login nd password?

[17:52] werwaffel, i dont know anything about wireless but usually theres a workaround for most things [17:52] not the home folder, the USER folder inside the home folder [17:52] alexleon: try your admin users name and password. [17:53] my name is dimakx [17:53] sudokill: that means the problem would maybe fix itself when i wait and update? [17:53] and you? xD [17:53] mm like the name of my pc and the password that i put everywhere?

[18:01] alexleon: you can set the stuff with compizconfig-settings-manager [18:01] BluesKaj: didn't work. I believe it might be a hardware issue, since none of the leds on the ethernet port ever flashes [18:01] alexleon: compiz is the windows manager which provides all that sort of fluff [18:02] compiz is already installed [18:02] but compizconfig is not [18:02] Can anyone help me connect to a WPA wireless network from the command line?

[18:08] I'm having issues hooking up my HP iPaq with Ubuntu, and having it recognized.

[18:08] ZykoticK9: Thanks i will try that :) [18:08] oCean yes and it says that it depends on mysql-server [18:09] zykotick9: yes except those packages [18:09] toothpick: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [18:09] actionParsnip [18:09] Maestro, ok , alt+F2 , /etc/network/interfaces , what's listed there ?

[18:09] everything installed fine except the mysql-server [18:09] (apache server) [18:09] hello again [18:10] I actually resolved the password issue. [18:10] toothpick: are there any bugs reported? [18:10] toothpick: installing lamp-server through tasksel will install all required components. Have you any idea what *is* installed and what is not? [18:10] fortunately, I had a root login key for ssh - so I re-logged in and changed the password for my users :D [18:10] wells5878: you have any .htaccess files laying around? [18:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/638986/ - Is anybody able to help me? [18:10] jhgdd: installed languages on Language settings¿ [18:10] neuticle: nope [18:11] is there a way to create a system restore point. similar to windows where you can go back to that point? [18:11] wells5878: any mod-rewrite? [18:11] ubun: could use partimage in a liveCD to make an image of the partition(s) [18:11] actionparsnip no bugs, just says "broken packages" [18:11] mod-rewrite is enabled [18:11] ubun: Not entirely impossible, though, there's no real way to do that because of the nature of Linux itself. [18:11] toothpick: I'd report a bug. It should be smooth [18:11] oCean: I've tried, it says $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server [18:11] tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [18:12] BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/9zgvnrtm [18:12] You're better off rebooting into Ubuntu via CD and copying at least your root partition. Always pays to get a big hard disk just to have a backup partition, that way it one goes boom, then at least the other can have the boot flag turned on. [18:13] toothpick: have you edited your sources.list recently? [18:13] Unless anybody else can tell me wrong and give ubun the right answer? [18:13] oCean yes to remove a screw up, and afterwords I updated [18:14] so im thining of using ubuntu as my only OS on my macbook pro [18:14] any thoughts/comments on this [18:14] toothpick: did you run 'sudo apt-get update' ? [18:14] ocean: yes [18:14] Eitan, test with a live cd [18:14] Masetro: good call, hahaha [18:15] unless you're already running it ofc [18:15] Maestro: OSX crashed, i have to reinstall anyways, i was just gonna install Ubuntu - cause it aint working as it right now [18:15] wells5878: meh, sorry, can't think of anything besides trying it without mod-rewrite or overrides to see what it does... do all directories do it, or just one? [18:15] can i use the same help (command lines) tutorials found for ubuntu on LUBUNTU? is it all the same except the desktop? [18:15] ubun: yes and yes. [18:15] toothpick: ok. Just checking. [18:15] all. if i override mod-rewrite with RewriteEngine off in htaccess it still happens [18:15] i need to press f1 in a gnome-terminal however it keeps bringing up gnome help. I've got all the keyboard shortcut keys disabled. Any idea? Can i escape it somehow to send it through [18:15] Eitan: if it works out of the box on a live cd, you'll not have much trouble using it [18:15] Maestro, try, ifup eth0 in the terminal [18:15] bbl [18:16] Pici: thank you. === csuser55 is now known as bluezone [18:16] toothpick: the thing is, the aptitude (100) error often disappears when an extra sudo apt-get update is done [18:16] woops nvm === bernat is now known as Guest37799 [18:17] ubun, some things may be de related but standard commands are universal [18:17] wells5878: AllowOverride Indexes will cause a 500 [18:17] Masestro: was reading online, most things work out of the box - few items like wifi need manual install [18:17] is there any way to do something to make sure it isn't me? [18:18] just a quick question. i wanted to add a nl-NL to my locales, before i did that i ran locale -a and saw that i had quite a few en_* locales installed. However after running apt-get install language-pack-nl my locales reduced to only to en_US and the dutch ones. So where have they gone to ? [18:18] Anyone else know how to connec to WPA from the CLI? I have tried 2 guides and got the same error message both times :/ [18:18] toothpick: another one, have you done a sudo dpkg --configure -a [18:18] no [18:18] Middle, what is the error? [18:18] should I do it now? [18:19] wells5878: if you just set it as an option it will probably work, but as an override, depending on the other configs, it could cause the issue [18:19] wells5878: or at least it has with older versions... no idea [18:19] neuticle: i'm not sure what you mean === memee is now known as yoritomo [18:20] wells5878: do you use AllowOverride Indexes? [18:20] Hi all. Computer crashed during update. Now Openoffice will not load. The splash screen comes up and the loading bar goes accross, but then it just goes away and nothing hapens. There are no errors output to the starting terminal. [18:20] toothpick: you can try that, it'll try to 'reconfigure' any packages that are not in a configured state currently. Anyway there's tons of information on the aptitude 100 error, meaning that the package metadata is not updated. [18:20] neuticle: i've never tried doing that. we have AllowOverride All in our httpd.conf === Guest37799 is now known as berarma [18:20] i can't find the trash can on my Lubuntu, anyone know how i can make it show on the desktop?

[18:22] any suggestions? [18:22] shorttech: openswan [18:22] or are you looking for the client part ? [18:23] hey all [18:23] shorttech: If you're looking for a client, and you use network-manager, then network-manager-vpnc will work [18:23] oCean sudo dpkg --configure -a doesn't do anything [18:23] Morphje, Im not quite sure what you mean when you say client part. I have cisco VPn on my work laptop which is used to connect to different remote desktops [18:24] i have a problem installing virtualbox on ubuntu 10.04 anyone can help me i tried several times and read the docs on the net but still problem [18:24] Morphje, yes I think its a client [18:24] NaSSiM`, what happens? [18:24] shorttech: well are you looking for a vpn client to connect to remote vpn networks or do you want to set up a VPN yourself [18:24] toothpick: if it just returns the command prompt, it has run. you're fine. You are sure your source.list don't contain any non-standard repositories? [18:24] if it means anything, I did sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ in mint and it installed everything smoothly just a few day ago [18:24] is the partition manager in the ubuntu text installer accessible after the the system has been installed? [18:24] E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [18:24] sudokill E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [18:24] Morphje, I want to connect to network [18:24] NaSSiM`, are you using the repository ? [18:25] i think i need to install the dependencies [18:25] shorttech: then take the advice from Pici [18:25] toothpick: you dualboot with mint? [18:25] NaSSiM`, afaik it should do that for you :s [18:25] NaSSiM`, sudo apt-get intall virtualbox-ose [18:25] coz_ i didnt understand .

So the sources.list is completely fresh also [18:26] ok [18:26] didnt see [18:26] NaSSiM`, get out of the root terminal [18:26] yes [18:26] shorttech: i guess, i don't run linux desktops, sounds logical for me ;) [18:26] same [18:26] i only run linux servers [18:26] E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [18:29] they are stock up my screen [18:29] shorttech: You might need network-manager-vpnc-gnome as well, and then you'll likely need to restart network-manager: sudo service network-manager restart (or reboot). Then you should be able to set it up via your network manager icon. [18:29] oCean how can I check? just to restart? [18:29] wells5878: dude, I'm an idiot, it's the allowoverrides all [18:29] wells5878: that sets an override for the indexes, then you set it as an option [18:30] NaSSiM`: Please pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose [18:30] ok [18:30] wells5878: set allow overrides to none for that directory, then set options indexes [18:30] NaSSiM`: try just sudo apt-get install -f [18:30] Does anyone know a SIRTS-decoder, or ASCII stereograms available for ubuntu? [18:30] wells5878: I just saw it here setting up a new virtualhost... [18:30] toothpick: well you could do a restart of course, but with the command 'ps' you can search for running processes. For example ps axuww | grep -i synap will search for processes such as Synaptic packagemanager [18:30] Pici, thank you, Ill give it a shot [18:30] or = for [18:31] xangua ah ok i thought i should add something after -f :) [18:31] Hello all, I bought a domain name from goDaddy.com, already have my ubuntu 10.10 server up and running.

Thanks for clearing it up [18:45] #germany [18:46] BluesKaj: no, only on the wireless interface can see the router, not eth0 [18:46] hookdump: yes, with all the updates [18:46] Anyone here familiar with Evolution the mail client? [18:46] I'd like to dl mail from longer ago and store it locally, is this possible [18:46] zeppelin101: You'll laugh... but... try moving the window to another place :P. [18:46] hookdump: true just wondered about workload shifting between GPU and CPU :-) [18:47] zeppelin101: There was a bug, not sure if it's solved already... after some hours of usage, some window managers produce a dead zone for the mouse click [18:47] Maestro, do you use a modeswitch on your internet connection ? [18:47] I'm sorry, what? [18:47] hookdump: yeah I've seen others report dead zones on desktops [18:47] hookdump: didnt fix it. i really dont know why they did away with pidgin as the default IM client.. [18:47] I have a router if that's what you mean [18:48] I have a question [18:48] zeppelin101: Agree. I *hate* empathy [18:48] I try to install mysql to use my emails [18:48] and its not working [18:48] where can i buy a earpiece for skype? i mean wireless [18:48] ActionParsnip: Not sure, but I think the dead zone stuff is solved... I haven't had that problem for a couple months, at least. [18:48] It says I have to make it [18:48] Anyone here familiar with Evolution the mail client? [18:48] I'd like to dl mail from longer ago and store it locally, is this possible [18:48] 1 month, rather [18:48] hookdump: ok, uninstalling it :). i tried to give it a chance but i always end up getting rid of it. may i ask why YOU hate it, in particular, though? [18:49] Guest38993: store? [18:49] what if i use bad words? [18:49] ActionParsnip, we need your expertise here , Maestro has an ethernet that's not seeing the router..I'm out of ideas. === EDY is now known as JET-7 [18:49] Guest38993: try in ##hardware [18:49] anybody can help me install mysql for my emails [18:49] it says I need it [18:49] zeppelin101: Since it's kinda 100% integrated with the system, I do not recommend you to uninstall it. Anyway, I hate it bc it's kinda unstable for me. Not specific bugs or problems, it's just.. uncomfortable to use. Also, lack of file transfer, inconsistent handling of nickname/avatar, etc. [18:49] BluesKaj: does dhcp work? === oubiwann is now known as oubiwann-lunch [18:49] is there any arab money here ? [18:49] ActionParsnip, can i buy such thing in israel? [18:50] zeppelin101: I use www.emesene.org instead. It's not perfect, but it's the "less bad" im client I found :P. Better than aMSN imo [18:50] hookdump: you like it better than pidgin? [18:50] WINDOWS IS BETTER THAN UBUNTU [18:50] WINDOWS IS BETTER THAN UBUNTU [18:50] john672z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:50] Guest38993: its offtopic here [18:50] SSJ4Gotenks: do you have an ubuntu support question? [18:50] ActionParsnip,we tried dhclient eth0 , but not eth0=dhcp , his interfaces file is fine [18:50] zeppelin101: emesene > aMSN > pidgin > empathy [18:50] aha [18:50] zeppelin101: (from better to worse) [18:50] ActionParsnip: I use several other machines with the same router, I don't believe it's an issue with dhcp [18:51] in my opinion [18:51] you gotta try them yourself ;D [18:51] zeppelin101: i always rip it out [18:51] too bad emescene doesn't support aim [18:51] 3333 [18:52] Maestro: but does the interface get dhcp ok? [18:52] zeppelin101: pidgin does, it kicks the lammas ......... [18:52] yea i think i'll just go back to pidgin [18:52] tho emescene looks a lot more sexy [18:53] zeppelin101: yeah, they all do [18:53] almoxarife: old school dude. Made me smile [18:53] ActionParsnip: how would I check/test for that? [18:53] Maestro: sudo dhclient eth0 [18:54] Hello, how i make metacity the default WM? [18:54] join #kdenlive [18:54] ActionParsnip: :) [18:54] ops [18:54] ActionParsnip: currently, the laptop doesn't even sense that an ethernet cable is plugged in at all, just fyi [18:54] almoxarife: mother approved ;-) [18:55] Maestro: do the lights flash around the interface? Is the link light on at the router? [18:55] can someone tell me why i cant close minimize or maximize windows? :( [18:55] why :( [18:55] Maestro: you didn't try installing a firewall recently did you? [18:56] ShadowBelmolve: using unity ¿¿ try the !classic desktop [18:56] Alexlon: enable the window decorator plugin in ccsm [18:56] almoxarife: no ActionParsnip: no link light and none of the leds on the ethernet port has flashed since I installed ubuntu [18:56] ok [18:57] xangua, already using the classic desktop, I want to use metacity as default because it give me 2x performance if compared with compiz [18:57] hey all, i am trying to add the following to the sshrc file, but am getting half of the output when the data is emailed to me.. any ideas? echo `/usr/bin/who am i` | /usr/bin/mail -s 'SSH Logon' foo@foo.org [18:57] ShadowBelmolve: metacity --replace & [18:57] Maestro: tried a different cable to test, or a different port? [18:57] ShadowBelmolve: the Ubuntu Classic (no effects) desktop uses metacity [18:58] ActionParsnip: the cable is ok, I've just recently used it on a different computer [18:58] another error :) [18:58] Sideone: whoami it doesn't have spaces [18:58] WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. [18:58] Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and the appropriate [18:58] headers, most likely linux-headers-. [18:58] You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed. [18:58] Failed to open the X11 display! [18:58] NaSSiM`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:58] trism, strange, "ps aux | grep -i 'metacity\|compiz'" only show compiz and compiz-decorator [18:58] it woks :D [18:58] ShadowBelmolve: are you sure you selected the (no effects) one and not the one that just says "Ubuntu Classic"? [18:59] xangua, this isn't the good way, I want to never try to start compiz.. starting compiz and than replacing with metacity is a bit... wrong [18:59] ActionParsnip; different commands. who am i != whoami [18:59] Maestro: does the system have a make and model? [18:59] trism, lemme see [18:59] ActionParsnip: it's a Dell Latitude D531 (top of the scrap heap, I know) [19:00] trism, lol, my friend disconnected :/, when he come back I will ask he, thx for the help :) [19:00] Sideone: commands won't have spaces. Either that or you'll need to escape the spaces. Never heard of any linux binary witha space in [19:00] anyone can help getting an error after launching the virtualbox http://paste.ubuntu.com/639020/ [19:01] where are the systems icons stored? (the default ones) [19:01] Maestro: better than most of mine [19:01] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. :) I like it except for the fact that in this version I can't middle mouse click by holding down left and right mouse buttons. Is there a workaround? I tried looking in the "mouse" settings to see if there was anything new and didn't see any settings. [19:01] ShadowBelmolve: metacity --replace in alt+f2 [19:01] NaSSiM`: do you have dkms installed? [19:01] almoxarife i dont know it should've installed [19:01] ActionParsnip; they are arguements to the who program [19:02] ill try to escape them. thx [19:02] Maestro: try websearching: laptop linux there may be a how to. Do you dual boot it? [19:02] ActionParsnip: enter "who am i" in a terminal and see [19:02] robin0800, this I know, but I was searching a way to start metacity by default intead of compiz... no for starting compiz and then replacing it with metacity [19:02] ActionParsnip: compare with "whoami" [19:02] can anyone tell me how to find the address for the current ssh session? [19:02] i thought it was $SSH_CLIENT [19:02] or something close to that [19:02] NaSSiM`: virtualbox needs dkms, and that error usually means dkms did not run [19:02] ShadowBelmolve, you can always add 'metacity --replace' as a start up item ;) [19:02] sideone: if they are args to 'who' it doesn't need escapes [19:03] almoxarife any command on how to know if it's installed or nopt [19:03] ActionParsnip: no, I don't dual boot it, and I've already done research for a two or three days before I asked here [19:03] looking for a gosu evolution user [19:03] where are the systems icons stored? (the default ones) [19:03] zelozelos, but compiz-decorator still running, so, not all the compiz things are killed ;) [19:03] sideone: what address? [19:03] NaSSiM`: how about the easy one, search for dkms in synaptic? [19:04] almoxarife im using a remote vps dont have the desktop [19:04] ShadowBelmolve, are you trying to slim down some, try xfce [19:04] Maestro: what chip does the Ethernet use? [19:04] ok thanks ActionParsnip [19:04] NaSSiM`: ok, [19:04] oCean; i am using sshrc to msg me when a logon is accepted, i am trying to craft the msg. I would like it to find the remote ip address of the ssh session [19:05] zelozelos, gnome runs ok, the problem itself is compiz killing the performance [19:05] llutz: no can do right now. Will try later though :-) [19:05] I'm trying to boot a regular 11.04 desktop installer disc and it won't boot. It keeps hanging on the loading screen, it sounds like it keeps reading from the disc, then stopping, then reading again, then stopping, then reading again [19:05] ActionParsnip: it's a Broadcom BCM5755M [19:05] hi there is there any one here that knows about writing scripts ? I am working on testing some tools with a distro and have found work around now I would like (i think) to write scripts to fix it by running that script is this the right way to think about this? all of it is in bash [19:05] The console says /scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser: line 25: db_set: not found [19:05] Hello fellows, does one need a particular minimal CD image for 10.10 server? Or is the minimal image the same for both desktop and server [19:05] sideone: just 'w' outputs the from address for current session, but I don't think that's useful for you? [19:06] sideone: can you paste the command again please? [19:06] ShadowBelmolve, it really can esp on older systmes. one thing ive found by accident is to make sure if im using cube its not set to any transparency while not rotating [19:06] dmsuperman try to check the installation/live disc for errors instead of installing [19:06] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. :) I like it except for the fact that in this version I can't middle mouse click by holding down left and right mouse buttons. Is there a workaround? I tried looking in the "mouse" settings to see if there was anything new and didn't see any settings. [19:06] Does Ubuntu provide a picture upload service ? [19:06] oCean; w works, but i need to find the information for that session, not for all [19:06] like writing scripts to fix wireless cards ? [19:06] bobweaver: could as in #bash too :-) [19:07] ActionParsnip : sideone pts/0 2011-07-06 13:12 (1.1.3.1) [19:07] sideone: I understand, don't have a solution to that right now [19:07] ActionParsnip, how do I write it I know the commands [19:07] oCean; ok cool, thanks ill just grab all inforamtion for now until i get time to troubleshoot. thanks. [19:07] I just dont know how to make it run ? [19:07] ShadowBelmolve, did you try killall compiz and the other one that kills the related processes? [19:08] bobweaver: top line: #!/bin/bash === scarface is now known as Guest16319 [19:08] bobweaver, scripts also need to be marked as executable [19:08] zelozelos, I'm trying to avoid starting compiz, I've asked my friend to see if there is a 'no effects' login and I'm waiting he [19:08] ZykoticK9, thanks [19:08] bobweaver: then the rest is just the commands as you'd type them in termi [19:09] NaSSiM`: google 'dkms virtualbox modules' there is a command to do it in terminal, I just can't find it [19:09] is there an end command [19:09] bobweaver: terminal* [19:09] bobweaver: exit? [19:09] bobweaver, "end command" what do you mean? [19:10] to make the program stop [19:10] bobweaver: no, just save the file as anything you want, then mark the file as executable. You now have a script [19:10] bobweaver: control+c [19:10] hi [19:10] so there is a header and a body but no ending [19:11] looking at it like a web page ? [19:11] bobweaver: control+c [19:11] bobweaver, correct [19:11] I'm trying to delete my old Linux partition on /dev/sda6, but it gives the error "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6" in gparted. How can I delete it? [19:11] bobweaver: control+c [19:11] bobweaver, ignore dmsuperman's control+c and exit -- NOT required [19:11] lol? [19:11] He asked how to exit a program [19:11] How else do you propose? [19:11] bobweaver: the script will run to the end and finish. Try to use full paths or you can use 'cd' like you normally would in terminals [19:11] Magic and wishes? [19:12] is someone playing starcraft 2 and has an apu e350 wondering if the catalyst driver works better on ubuntu then archkĺinux [19:12] dmsuperman, no - he's talking about writing a script [19:12] sideone: anyway, it seems you're correct about $SSH_CLIENT [19:12] Then "exit" is correct [19:12] To exit a script [19:12] You use exit. [19:12] ok I am off to write one will be back [19:12] dmsuperman, no [19:12] lol [19:12] ok [19:12] dmsuperman: that's why it's a help channel, for us less learned in terminal [19:12] almoxarife: I'm not disagreeing with you there, I was trying to help him answer his question :) [19:13] ShadowBelmolve: I think if your using classic 11.04 once metacity is selected it will remain and compiz will not be loaded === david263 is now known as twosday [19:14] bobweaver: you can use scripts to make strings of commands you run a lot into one, or you can pass values and have logic act on those values [19:15] how can i load unity at startup instead of gnome? [19:15] say I need to be root what would I do ? [19:15] to remove some files [19:15] sudo -i [19:15] bobweaver, don't become root! use sudo [19:15] but then the password then exit to get out of root [19:16] bobweaver, Ubuntu was designed to basically never use root (if you require "root" you are probably doing something wrong) [19:16] If you just use sudo on a single command the permissions will end after it executes [19:16] If you want to give an entire script root permissions, run the whole thing with sudo [19:16] wireshark needs root [19:16] bobweaver: sudo -i is ok, just not great, just prepend your first command with: sudo [19:16] bobweaver: gksu wireshark [19:16] bobweaver: gksu = sudo for graphical applications [19:16] bobweaver, wireshark needs gksu as dmsuperman just pointed out [19:16] sudo rm -rf * [19:16] !danger [19:16] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [19:16] social? [19:16] !danger [19:17] !safety [19:17] wkbittner: nice try [19:17] defrex: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat [19:17] rofl [19:17] rww, sorry, wrong channel [19:17] wkbittner: why? === JET-7 is now known as |-_-| [19:18] can chatzilla make some notifications ? [19:18] ZykoticK9, I see what you mean I could have a cd /wherever/ then have it run the chmod -x in order to delete the file [19:19] Evening everyone [19:19] bobweaver, ahh "chmod" is to changer permissions, not delete [19:19] Evening everyone [19:19] oCean; thanks [19:19] does anyone know any good apps to record from webcam? [19:20] other than cheese [19:20] gasp [19:20] guys, is there a way to run ubuntu server through USB? (a bit worried about the right limit in USB ... aka die at some point) is there a way to limit the writes? [19:20] andeeeuk: xvidcap or recordmydesktop maybe [19:21] powe, running an OS from USB is MUCH slower then from a HD - just FYI [19:21] can they record webcam though? I thought they were just to record session? [19:21] yeap, but need to use it for a NAS server - don't want to use the disks -- RAID [19:21] do I have to run the command with && to run to gether or will the terminal know ? [19:22] bobweaver, each new command on a new line is fine [19:22] powe: use mount options like noatime or similar. Also ext4 can be tuned nice to reduce journal or use ext2 [19:22] thanks [19:22] bobweaver, it will do one after another [19:22] ActionParsnip are they not just to record desktop [19:23] andeeeuk, typically yes - they are for screen casts usually [19:23] thanks ActionParnsip [19:23] andeeeuk: they may have options to record only a part of the desktop [19:23] andeeeuk, cheese really is the best gnu/linux has to offer for webcams [19:24] ZykoticK9 thanks guys i was having problems with cheese earlier as it is very slow to actually record [19:24] ActionParsnip and BluesKaj, thx for the help, I'm gonna test the hw with a debugging cd from the hardware vendor just to check if the hardware is still alive [19:25] I am trying to record in HD or quite high res but seems very slow [19:25] Does Ubuntu provide a picture upload service ? [19:25] Maestro: gl [19:25] xangua, robin0800, trism thx guys, my friend as found the no effects session :P [19:25] andeeeuk: ubuntu one [19:25] bullgard4, picasa? [19:25] bullgard4: to what service? [19:25] bullgard4: No. Canonical doesn't provide one either, other than Ubuntu One [19:25] bullgard4: lots of programs to uplad pictures [19:26] brewster: what about ubuntu one? [19:26] bullgard4: ubuntu one service allows you to upload and share documets, like dropbox [19:26] files* [19:26] post on there [19:26] ? [19:26] here is an outline guys any hints ?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/639034/ [19:26] hello - I'm having a bit of trouble with the archive manager - it's showing every subfolder in a .zip with the full folder path and does this when I extract it too, eg the folder name is "foldera\folderb\file.txt", including the backslashes! Anyone got any ideas please? [19:26] yeah, i have nothing to share really [19:27] i thought there would be other applications that would record a webcam [19:28] !find zenden [19:28] Package/file zenden does not exist in natty [19:28] bobweaver, the alternative to multiple sudo commands inside the script, would be to just run the script as sudo (you'll have to type your PW in anyways) - just my 2 cents, NOTHING wrong with the way you are doing it! [19:28] ZykoticK9, Good news then === marco is now known as Guest35468 [19:29] ZykoticK9, ActionParsnip, rww, xangua Thank you for your help. [19:29] is ubuntu compatible with touchscreen ? [19:30] orudie: yes. [19:30] orudie ubuntu has been capable of doing touchscreen for a long time [19:30] is it hard to set up ? [19:30] Anyone here use an Asus board with P67 or H67 chipset? [19:30] I'm talking desktop board. [19:30] orudie sould be fairly easy to setup also [19:31] i'm thinking about getting one of those all in eone pcs, can anyone recommend one that would work best with ubuntu ? [19:31] and with touchscreen [19:32] orudie i wouldnt know tbh [19:32] ActionParsnip: I was wondering if Ubuntu provides a website where I could uplad a picture so that others can see it if I tell them a code number of the uploaded picture. Similar in function to pastebinit for text. In the mean time I have got another 4 answers, and my curiosity is satisfied.

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. [19:39] anybody here uses ubuntu in EC2?

[19:44] prince: You need to rephrase your question, we don't understand. [19:45] Is there a program to break the proxy on the Linux operating system [19:45] cant start virtualbox http://paste.ubuntu.com/639020/ im installing it from a remote ssh [19:45] prince: What does 'break the proxy' mean? [19:45] prince: why not break the linux system yourself? maybe you want 'stunnel' === claudio is now known as Guest61434 === M1DLGpc is now known as M1DLG [19:45] :( [19:46] prince, have you tried asking in #ubuntu-lt? [19:46] NaSSiM`, did you install virtualbox-ose-dkms? Running virtualbox as root is even more silly then sshing as root. [19:47] I work for IBM. So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You dont. I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.

[19:57] any advice and help appreciated [19:57] which distribution are you using? [19:57] lucid lynx [19:58] ZykoticK9, no [19:58] ghufran: i guess the first thing to find out is what technic is used to protect your harddrive [19:58] DreamsVoid, don't know then - good luck.

HOW? [20:05] peterhil: choose "ubuntu" instead of "ubuntu classic" when logging in === Guest12908 is now known as skyHawk [20:05] Is this a fresh install or are you trying to upgrade or something? [20:06] mdunlap, W7/11.04 dual boot is the goal [20:07] mdunlap, i can't do anything right now, i'm just going to format the disk as i imaged the w7 partition yesterday and backup onto my server :) [20:07] You're going to need to install windows first and then ubuntu, so that ubuntu will set up the grub bootloader for you [20:08] It will then guide you through partitioning and all that jazz [20:08] mdunlap, forgot that +_+' so long since i had ubuntu on my desktop [20:08] when i hit (ctrl + d) in terminal what signal is that sending?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:09] how do i send signal interupt, for unix it is ctrl c but that doesn't work [20:10] Thats correct [20:10] Edisto: maybe end of file [20:11] Edisto: what do you want to do? normally you send signals with kill [20:11] Edisto: kill -(signalnumber) PID [20:12] i'm trying to do a signal(SIGINT, function) and call a function upon sigint when its sent [20:12] hi [20:12] Edisto: is that C? [20:12] Edisto: then kill -INT [20:13] I'm running vim on the server ; when I ssh to that, I don't want to pkill vim and vim the opened file again. Is there any way I can send a process (with processID) to background and fg it again ? [20:13] thanks. [20:13] snow_usa: I suggest that you use screen or another terminal multiplexer instead. [20:13] Hi guys. I wanted to know what type of privileges programs installed with wine have? Can they access internet? Can they access anything out of its wine directory? Plus if it can access internet how can I restrict anything from wine to be able to access internet? [20:14] Pici, screen doesn't make much sense when you use it on your own desktop [20:14] Pici, do you understand me ? [20:14] snow_usa: it does make sense - really [20:15] snow_usa: Because you don't want to use screen inside of screen? I usually open a separate terminal for each host I'm connecting to. === house is now known as Guest32934 [20:15] Pici, the problem is: do you actually screen on the computer infront of you?

[20:18] !patience | luigi_panache [20:18] luigi_panache: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [20:18] luigi_panache: what type of VPN?

If the vim session was started in screen, you could attach, and continue [20:19] how to play directly videos in chromium from youtube by mplayer?can someone help me please? [20:20] luigi_panache: Maybe I could help with OpenVPN ;-) [20:20] o0_0o: My clients get rejected even with proper authentication. What the heck is going wrong? [20:20] PythonSnake: If you're using the supported repositories, then yes, otherwise, we don't support third party kernels. [20:20] vlt: I need help installing it, since the guides I find are for corporate environments. [20:20] vlt: But I'm happy to switch. [20:21] luigi_panache: Installing OpenVPN? "aptitude install openvpn" [20:21] snow_usa: so, screen is a valid suggestion, and saying I don't use screen locally, is not a valid reply [20:21] ppl [20:21] vlt: Configuring. [20:21] snow_usa: in that case send it a -15 signal, you get the option to recover when you start it again [20:22] i've installed virtualbox 4 and im getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/639064/ [20:22] can i have my water effect on start up?

Define one machine as server, assign a network (default is 10.8.0.0, I think), generate a server key/cert pair, then generate client keys. Easy. [20:23] dmsuperman: ecryptfs-migrate-home? [20:23] ChogyDan yes [20:23] luigi_panache: There's a good collection of examples coming with Ubuntu's openvpn pkg. [20:23] vlt: Where is the config file? [20:23] NaSSiM`: That doesn't look like an Ubuntu kernel version [20:23] lol [20:23] well it is ubuntu [20:23] :)à [20:23] 10.04 [20:23] luigi_panache: Put everything in /etc/openvpn/ [20:23] vlt: I see nothing good under /etc/openvpn nor /etc/default [20:23] NaSSiM`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:23] vlt: Oh, I add to it? [20:23] oCean, may be I don't understand screen quite fully [20:24] NaSSiM`: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list please? [20:24] ok [20:24] all I've dome is just "screen -dr " [20:24] pff i dont even need it -.- [20:24] luigi_panache: "dpkg -L openvpn" lists all the files that came with openvpn. There you'll find the examples directory ... [20:24] hello [20:24] there [20:24] i can't install cacti [20:24] snow_usa: it's just for that purpose you describe.

[20:26] Pici: stop asking [20:26] Pici: sorry [20:26] ikonia what do you mean [20:26] prezes: stop asking - if someone knows they will answer [20:27] NaSSiM`: that's not a proper ubuntu install, it's hosted from a Redhat host as an "image" [20:27] NaSSiM`: You'll need to install the source of the kernel that you're using and point the dkms installer at it [20:27] dmsuperman: /home/.ecryptfs/USER/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase is where the encryption key is [20:27] Yes maco, the .desktop is there. It points to ecryptfs-mount-private (which I don't have). How can I get at my old encryption key? [20:27] This is a new installation [20:27] Are there any archive formats which can be mounted via loopack? cramfs is one, isn't it? Others? [20:27] NaSSiM`: If this is a server, I suggest that you use KVM instead of virtualbox anyway. [20:27] NaSSiM`: I don't believe vbox will run as from certain perspectives that machine is already a "guest" with no difect hardware access [20:27] luigi_panache: 172.16.0.0/12 iirc [20:27] oCean, sorry, but I should type screen, and how to attach the vim into it ? [20:27] direct hardware access [20:27] luigi_panache: RTFM RFC 1918 [20:27] Pici: I don't think kvm will fly on that machine [20:27] dmsuperman: so you don't have what was in /home outside of /home/user ? === Anthraxi1m-64 is now known as Anthraxium-64 [20:28] snow_usa: you type screen, and at that moment you are in a screen session. From there just type vim blah.txt and start editing [20:28] ikonia yes that's what i think also vps is a guest machine i think [20:28] maco: There's also a /home/.ecryptfs [20:28] NaSSiM`: it is a guest [20:28] maybe you use word please next time [20:28] oh oCean ! === Anthraxium-64 is now known as Guest32507 [20:28] snow_usa: then do to detach [20:28] NaSSiM`: although it's a a different process than the normal guest [20:28] I have already opened vim when I was at home [20:28] ikonia so i cant use any virtualisation on it.? === Guest32507 is now known as Anthraxium [20:29] NaSSiM`: I don't believe so [20:29] dmsuperman: ../.ecryptfs/USER/.ecryptfs/ is where all the ecryptfs stuff is relative to the user's home dir [20:29] snow_usa: ok, in *that* case this won't help :( [20:29] ok thanks [20:29] oCean, that is what I want to do [20:29] NaSSiM`: that's not fact, but from what I understand of how these machines are built and my experience "no" is the short answer [20:29] snow_usa: but for the next time, use screen :) [20:29] lol ok :) [20:29] oCean, I'm always lazy to use vim on local machine [20:30] oCean, via ssh is ok, since the network sometimes give me problems [20:30] hello [20:30] anyone there [20:30] !hi ezrtyuiop [20:30] cacti-cactid [20:30] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [20:30] ezrtyuiop 1565 people here :) [20:31] error what i got during the installation of cactid [20:31] impossible for me to install cactid http://paste.ubuntu.com/639069/ here pastebin [20:32] !info cacti-cactid [20:32] !info cacti-cactid [20:32] Package cacti-cactid does not exist in natty [20:32] ezrtyuiop: what repo did you get that from ?

[20:39] ezrtyuiop: it's not a basic problem [20:39] maco: I don't believe this will, but possible [20:39] ezrtyuiop: I am a hypothetical car salesman. You buy a car from me, then go add a bunch of aftermarket tires and spoilers and shiny rims and such. They make your car run badly. You come back to me and complain and ask for help. I will laugh at you. [20:39] ezrtyuiop: you have done silly managment of your machine and trusted 3rd party repos - this is issue, not ubuntu, your poor mangmagment. If it's a simple problem you should have no issues resolving it [20:40] ezrtyuiop: you can try running computer janitor. i usually tries to remove things that arent in a repo you are currently using (to the annoyance of anyone who downloads random debs from the internet) [20:40] ezrtyuiop: no guarantees itll actually get everything fixed, but it might at least remove some of the broken === rannmann`dt is now known as rannmann [20:42] should you be able to run Unity interface in 11.04 in Sun-Oracle VirtualBox?

[20:43] ezrtyuiop: bottom line is - I would suggest reinstalling your OS with a current release. [20:43] fsync: no. It won't detect graphics accel. [20:43] ezrtyuiop: on the new install, keep 3rd party and old repos out [20:43] ezrtyuiop: please feel free to grab an Ubuntu install CD, reformat your hard drive, and come back when you've restored your computer/Ubuntu to factory condition. [20:43] ezrtyuiop: I wouldn't trust your current install, or waste time trying to trouble shoot it unless you know what you are doing (just being honest) === sunny_ is now known as SUNNY007 [20:44] from the ubuntu lucid realease my machine is uptime [20:44] Hello [20:44] ezrtyuiop: when it comes to an operating system, reconditioning to factory condition means "reinstall" [20:44] and contains more than 1 To of data [20:44] ezrtyuiop: perhaps you shouldn't have messed it up then [20:44] what is the name of dwm in the repos?

[20:50] lookin4: if they can they will respond to your question [20:50] ikonia, still seems like no one can help me though :p [20:50] SUNNY007: ah well [20:50] ok [20:51] hio [20:51] how do i check if i have got x-symbols installed? === bradj|afk is now known as bradj [20:51] SUNNY007: People will help if they know how. [20:51] hi there, i'm interested in the new ubuntu and the Windows installer/ [20:51] jerry14: do you mean wubi ? [20:52] ikonia, yes [20:52] astraljava, I got that part. :) Just a little sad that no one seems to know how :p [20:52] jerry14: what about it ? [20:52] !nomodeset | SUNNY007 have you tried this already? [20:52] SUNNY007 have you tried this already?: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [20:52] ok, I have windows 7 64bit, is it easy to uninstall? [20:53] jerry14: within reason, yes [20:53] SUNNY007: So 11.04 successfully installed, but when you boot into it, then you're dropped into a commad line? [20:53] SUNNY007: Being precise helps to get help, you see. :) [20:53] ikonia, the ubuntu - wubi.i mean [20:54] jerry14: yes, and I answered [20:54] ok [20:54] whats the purpose of encoding your movie to hd format??? [20:54] @astral can u help with my query? [20:54] jerry14: Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a Program -> select Wubi in the list -> Uninstall [20:56] I have a relatively unstable internet broadband connection, can I still install it? My internet connection disconnects and reconnects for a few seconds once in a while, it resets the router dsl connection [20:56] http://brfacebook.blogspot.com conheça o blog do facebook brasil [20:56] Astraljava, yes. I installed 11.04 but it dropped me into a command line. Ubottu, I have not, but I'm trying it now [20:56] Kiler: don't advertise in here, please [20:56] jerry14: yes [20:56] ok [20:58] ikonia, I have a question about doing apt-get... what happens if I am in the middle of updating ubuntu, and my internet connection drops, can it damage the update?, what if the some of the downloaded files are corrupt? [20:58] I just upgraded to 11.10 and when I rename a file in nautilus, and hit backspace, it crashes. Is this a known problem? [20:58] jerry14: yes, it can damage the update [20:58] Polarina: 11.10 is not stable / supported. There is discussion in #ubuntu+1 [20:59] jerry14: if you're in the middle of downloading, then the download and the update will stop. if you're in the middle of installing the already-downloaded updates, that won't be a problem for most packages [20:59] still no one with an answer? help please [20:59] #ubuntu-nc [20:59] Polarina: and check the bugs page on launchpad [20:59] lookin4: if someone knows the answer - they will respond [20:59] jerry14: packages are checked to make sure they're a valid package file before installing, so a half-downloaded package won't get installed [21:00] im connected to my server truh putty, and want to send an mail? how do i do it? do i need to install anyting? [21:00] Triscar0: ssh and mailx [21:01] ok [21:01] I really need some help with OpenVPN. I've configured keys and certificates and everything and I still can't get my client to connect to the server. [21:02] I just don't get what the hell I'm doing wrong. [21:02] is Wubi - windows Ubuntu installer done through the web, or does it download it first then installs it? [21:02] jerry.. download it [21:02] SUNNY007: Right. Well, never had that happen for me, so try what others suggested already. [21:02] jerry14: have you read any of the information on it yet ? [21:02] ok [21:03] what's the latest kernel ? [21:03] supported by ubuntu [21:03] !info linux-image [21:03] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.38.8.22 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [21:03] lookin4: Sorry, what was your question? I'm sorry, this is a busy channel, as you can see. I missed your problem. [21:03] PythonSnake: 2.6.38.8.22 is the current natty kernel [21:03] PythonSnake: the kernel version for the most recent Ubuntu release is 2.6.38 [21:03] PythonSnake: if there is a kernel update available to you, update manager will notify and offer it to you [21:03] i had windows xp on my one of my drives(another partition still ntfs) I installed ubuntu 10.10 on the windows xp partition by formatting it, still i get the grub with windows xp as one option.. how to fix this? ne1 help!! [21:04] astral: have pasted it again [21:04] Hi, I have two trivial questions. Why can't games easily be written for Linux, and why is it that people prefer the command line (compiling) versus a GUI (installers) [21:05] how can i make a samba share available over the internet? [21:05] latagore, ubuntu has the package manager [21:05] there is no benefit to cli [21:05] latagore: they are nothing to do with ubuntu, we only support ubuntu here [21:05] or do you have some other methods that i can use to share a folder over the internet between two linux machines? [21:05] preferably a safe way, but [21:06] sudokill, "there is no benefit to cli" actually there is - you should find a copy of "In the Beginning there was Command Line" [21:06] ikonia: What has nothing to do with Ubuntu? [21:06] im talking about ubuntu [21:06] latagore: your questions [21:06] ZykoticK9, When I do this gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub, I get "cannot open display" [21:07] SUNNY007, are you using ssh? [21:07] !ssh | zamba [21:07] zamba: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:07] ikonia: Where do you suppose I can ask my questions then? [21:07] what benefit has sudo apt-get install vs installing from the package manager gui? [21:07] latagore: ##linux ? [21:07] should I use ubuntu 10 or 11 if im installing on a computer with a pentium 4 processor and 1.5gb of ram with an ati graphics card? [21:07] fluttershyfan: either [21:07] SUNNY007, from cli you could use "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" - FYI after any changes you need "sudo update-grub2" [21:07] ikonia: Okay, thanks [21:07] go for 11 [21:07] sudokill: It's easier to give people directions to use apt-get than telling them to click a bunch of stuff over text-based support. In general, there is no difference. [21:08] exactly [21:08] kk [21:09] rww: I see [21:09] Anybody using a ASUS P67 or H67 board? [21:10] no [21:10] TrentonDAdams: why ? [21:10] does the new Ubuntu 11.04 have Gnome? what is classic mode? [21:10] gnome 2 afaik [21:10] without unity [21:10] ok guys m leaving.. feeling sleepy [21:10] jerry14: I suggest you check out ubuntu.com and just get a basic idea of what you actually will get [21:10] wish sum1 cud have helped [21:11] ok [21:11] chrome freezes up. often. few tabs open (5) no youtube, killed flash but it wasnt up. top tells me it's chrome. "stuck" [21:11] nvm..gud nyt.. shabba khair.. [21:11] khuda hafiz [21:12] Hi [21:12] hi [21:12] hi. is there a way to list all file from a folder and subfolder in one list. not like ls -alR [21:13] Anyone know how to get Ubuntu to recognize a JAR as an executable, not an archive? [21:13] I dont care about folder. only file [21:13] DJSkidd`: a jar isn't an executable [21:13] minecraft.jar is [21:13] DJSkidd`: it's a java archive, you don't execute it [21:13] DJSkidd`: I don't believe it is [21:13] so how do I play Minecraft? === luigi_panache is now known as luigi_p|away [21:14] Webonaute, you could add grep to the end of that maybe [21:14] if you know what its called [21:14] do I have to extract the JAR somewhere? [21:14] DJSkidd`: java -jar minecraft.jar [21:14] DJSkidd`: you launch it from a jvm - as the document on mincraft.com says [21:14] minecraft.net sorry [21:14] DJSkidd`: it even gives you the exact command to use [21:15] how can i download a paper by ssh? [21:15] download a paper ? [21:15] newspaper? [21:15] what ? come on, ask a question properly [21:16] a scientific paper [21:16] ikonia: because I'd like to buy a new computer, and want to ensure it works with linux [21:16] TrentonDAdams: from where [21:16] i have the url [21:16] ikonia: From where what? [21:16] TrentonDAdams, yes it will work === ozi_kurnik is now known as ozior [21:16] sudokill: you have one? [21:16] TrentonDAdams: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [21:16] TrentonDAdams: ok - so you need to look at the chipsets on it, and look at what kernel versions support it, and then look if your distro uses that kernel [21:16] Webonaute: On OS X this seems to work: ls -lFR [21:16] How can I backup my partition? I want to reinstall Kubuntu because of all the crap I did to it [21:16] TrentonDAdams, no, but 99% of pcs work [21:17] terminal says Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from minecraft.jar [21:17] tiago: you don't use ssh to get a url [21:17] i know the 67 works [21:17] sudokill: But you're still bound to run into hardware support problem [21:17] BluesKaj: what does that answer? [21:17] BluesKaj: i know what ssh is [21:17] DJSkidd`: are you using the sun jvm ? [21:17] ikonia: of course not, i was talking about commands such wget [21:17] if that would do [21:17] Webonaute: Can't test on Ubuntu now, because my screen went amok wioth vertical stripes [21:17] No idea... [21:17] given that i have access by ssh to a server [21:17] should I get it from the site? [21:17] tiago: wget works fine [21:17] The java site? [21:18] ikonia: Yeah, that's essentially what I'm doing. However, there are inconsistencies sometimes between MB manufacturers, even when they do use Intel chipsets, which are almost always supported on Linux. [21:18] I got it from terminal === luigi_p|away is now known as luigi_panache [21:18] tiago: You could try scp [21:18] sudokill: 99% of PCs will "run", that doesn't mean they "really" work. [21:18] DJSkidd`: http://www.minecraft.net/community.jsp [21:18] Gotcha. [21:18] TrentonDAdams: Look at the certification pages. [21:18] Will go there now. [21:18] TrentonDAdams, most work [21:18] sudokill: e.g. it's annoying when your gnome terminal window takes forever to scroll because the video card isn't supported. [21:19] lots of people use the 67 on linux [21:19] TrentonDAdams: Those machines have been tried and tested by the cert team. [21:19] Man, I love the Unity workspace. [21:19] TrentonDAdams, all video cards should be supported unless theyre really unknown [21:19] jpds: Yeah, I took a look, but those are all canned systems. I want to build my own. [21:20] TrentonDAdams, what gpu are you going to use [21:20] sudokill: Nope, the ASUS H67 was having problems a couple months ago with the integrated video. [21:20] TrentonDAdams: You could look at the parts they use to build them [21:20] Hello, while trying to start/stop/restart ssh via "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart|start|stop" I get an error saying that rather than invoking the script, I should use the service utility. I have no desire to do this, and want to be able to start ssh how I am used to. How can this be fixed. [21:20] sudokill: Probably nVidia, because they "actually" support linux. [21:20] http://pastebin.com/4brRAVNq help? [21:20] sudokill: well, so does ATI I suppose [21:20] yea [21:20] latagore: That's probably a good idea. [21:20] well if youre going to use nvidia, you know it will work :s [21:21] not sure about the h67 problem [21:21] AARGH [21:21] Maybe I should try Chromium [21:21] sudokill: EXACTLY! :D I just want to know about the rest of the components. USB3, SATA (usually works), fan control, cpu temp monitoring, etc. [21:21] maybe theres been a kernel update since or some other fix [21:21] ubuntu should enable all thos for you [21:22] sudokill: Yeah, no reports of any fixes to that. Intel themselves obtained an ASUS board, and couldn't figure it out. But, I haven't heard any reports since then. [21:22] go for p67 then [21:22] sudokill: They did reproduce the problems though. [21:22] to be safe [21:22] sudokill: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. [21:22] afaik theyre pretty much the same thing [21:22] p55 /h55 was anyway [21:22] hey guys [21:22] do any of you have experience on DWM? [21:23] Hi here. [21:23] sudokill: Yeah, it's my understanding they are identical, except the integrated video component option. [21:23] i have a p55 asus so no exp with the 6 series [21:23] I can't play any sound (mp3, video) for more than a few second (3-4), then, the sound cut off, even if the player look likes it play normally. [21:23] while logging out to change sessions from Ubuntu to DWM, DWM does not work, I installed the following packages via prompt: dwm suckless tools. [21:24] Any idea of why it isn't working? [21:24] hello tout le monde :) [21:24] Oh boy. [21:24] You guys sure help a lot. [21:24] damn [21:25] impatient lol [21:25] canu-qumm: It's been less than 2 minutes, give it time [21:25] but yea, no idea === sunny_ is now known as sunny007 [21:25] Hi, I can't boot Ubuntu 11 from my SSD, only from my HDD. I don't even have a grub menu, just a grub rescu prompt. Please help me. [21:25] canu-qumm: Define "doesn't work." What do the logs say? What is the expected behavior? What do you see happening instead? [21:25] engammalsko, did it used to work?

[21:26] Are there any special precautions I should take when backing up my Ubuntu partition with dd? Will dd if=/dev/sda2 of=~/ubuntu.img suffice? [21:26] sudokill: I built my computer today so, no. But Windows 7 booted from the SSD. [21:26] latagore: Urm... I do hope your ubuntu partition isn't on /dev/sda2. :-) [21:26] engammalsko: Did you change hard drives? [21:26] Any help ? [21:26] Corey: Why do you say that? [21:27] hi every one ^^ [21:27] Corey: After I've selected DWM from the session selection, the session stays with the same wallpaper of the login manager, and it stays blank. [21:27] Corey: Oops, I see what you mean [21:27] Linux, you're not supposed to crash! Leave that to Windows.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:28] !help [21:28] latagore: What do you mean? I didn't just install the harddrives but all the components. Or did you mean if I've tried to switch places? Then why would the ubuntu install work and windows 7 install work but ubuntu can't still boot. [21:28] Corey: got my messages? [21:28] can anyone help with network manager - VPN connection? [21:28] Hello everybody [21:28] Does someone know how grubrescu works? [21:29] canu-qumm: Stay out of my PM window plesae. [21:29] please* [21:29] !pm > canu-qumm [21:29] canu-qumm, please see my private message [21:29] engammalsko: If you change around your drives, grub may be unhappy and you'll have to update its grub.cfg with sudo update-grub2 with a live ubuntu CD [21:29] Okay. [21:30] I was about to dump a load of text right now, thought that would be immature and unreasonable. [21:30] canu-qumm: THere is the pastebin for that [21:30] So Corey, you asked me a question regarding my issue. [21:30] latagore: I'll try it out, I'm on live cd atm [21:31] How do I connect to irc.esper.net? [21:31] No man, I'm talking about message "as in, I was pissed off and I was gonna talk a lot" [21:31] is it possible to read sms form a 3g modem with minicom ? [21:31] Corey: and now you say to stay out of your PM window? [21:31] canu-qumm: Ah lol. Sorry [21:31] latagore: it' s ok [21:31] canu-qumm, calm down a bit you havent been here long lol [21:31] canu-qumm: Again, what do the logs say?

[21:32] Corey: no logs lol [21:32] canu-qumm: you're better off reading a tutorial on dwm...for one thing you installed it from a repo and you should compile it [21:32] !dvm [21:32] extraclassic: Pretty sure that "compile it yourself" isn't the Ubuntu way. :-) [21:32] extraclassic: wait I was supposed to compile? [21:33] no [21:33] i love sauerkraut [21:33] Corey: dwm has to be recompiled every time you change it's configuration [21:33] latagore: Where should I have the root thingy? I choosed "/" Maybe I should choose "/boot" or "/home" etc? [21:33] extraclassic: all I did was "sudo apt-get install dwm" hoping it would.. erm.. [21:33] anyone good with VPN? [21:33] extraclassic: Citation needed? [21:33] shorttech: Ask your real question. [21:33] canu-qumm, if you installed it from repo its better that way [21:33] engammalsko: I can't remember how to do it, you could try installing grub againg [21:33] use APT on CD [21:33] and bratwurst [21:33] !ot | huros [21:33] huros: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

It is not in Ubuntu's repositories. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [21:35] engammalsko: Which one has Ubuntu on it?

[21:35] sudokill: I had alot of options, like opt etc. But I choosed / [21:35] Corey: that depends, what are you talking about? [21:35] sudokill: How do you list out the disks on your system again?

I'm trying to install from a USB stick. [21:41] DriversBroken: I have the installation disk installed on my hard drive XD [21:41] engammalsko: I know, that's what I thought [21:42] latagore: okie doke, just remember that if it's something that hp or dell gave you its likely to have lots of crapware [21:42] anyone else can help with VPN? [21:42] latagore: So, do you have any solution? [21:42] DriversBroken: It was a clean install I made [21:42] engammalsko: I gave you a link [21:42] canu-qumm: i'd try experimenting in virtualbox with it [21:42] I'm not sure this matérial recognize [21:42] sudokill: okay so Xorg.0.log won't open [21:42] Corey, the problem with a manual setup for me is that my group password is encrypted [21:42] extraclassic: it's a GUI not an OS [21:43] canu-qumm, what does it say? permission denied? [21:43] latagore: resend. [21:43] ll the command to find out if my computer ecooginized my pci vidoe capture card [21:43] sudokill: Yep. [21:43] engammalsko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:43] Corey, do you know of a way to show the encrypted password? [21:43] sudokill: No no it wasn't that. [21:43] shorttech: Ask the network admin. [21:43] sudokill: It says Geditor had problems reading the character encodings. [21:43] latagore: Wtf has windows with anything to do? Thjat's not my problem... [21:44] engammalsko: That will help restore Grub [21:44] canu-qumm, in terminal do cat /var/log/xorg.0.log [21:44] latagore: okay then. [21:44] sudokill: k [21:44] Corey, that will be a big hassle, because they dont want me to have a linux machine [21:44] engammalsko: Regardless of what it was caused by [21:44] Corey, stupid IT guys [21:44] shorttech: It's for work presumably-- they get to set the rules. If you don't like them, work elsewhere. [21:45] sudokill: done, im on Guake Terminal [21:45] so my prompt is actually next to Irssi [21:45] sudokill: I did it, now what? [21:45] now you should be able to see the log [21:46] not sure if ubuntu has a built in wgetpaste type thing or not [21:46] [ 41.649] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "SEC", prod id 13144 [21:46] [ 41.649] (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [21:46] [ 41.649] (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.26 1280 1296 1344 1424 800 801 804 834 -hsync -vsync (50.0 kHz) [21:46] that is what it says [21:46] just those 3 lines? [21:46] Nope, it's the same thing just with different numbers on the left part [21:46] Corey, if were in front of me I tell you to F off. Its kind stupid that IT get to shove whatever they are MOST COMFORTABLE down my throat. [21:46] repeated like 5 times [21:47] canu-qumm, i dont know about dwm but maybe its because you have no config [21:47] shorttech: You can keep it civil, or you can leave. [21:47] sudokill: What, config? explain. [21:47] can anybody tell me the command to find out if my computer recoginized my pci video capture card for my camera to work on it [21:47] canu-qumm, with the window managers you need to config them yourself usually [21:47] shorttech: It's their network, their equipment, their rules. They get to decide what their respective policies are. If they won't give you the password, you may be somewhat hosed. [21:47] canu-qumm, if you're new to linux then i wouldnt bother [21:47] sudokill: No man I've been with Linux for like 8 months now [21:47] Corey, its my computer actually. [21:48] shorttech: But it's their VPN concentrator. :-) [21:48] sudokill: So how do I configure DWM? [21:48] canu-qumm, did you do any research on dwm before you installed it? like how to set it up? [21:48] canu-qumm, i have no idea what to do for dwm i dont use it [21:48] Hey guys, does anyone know how I can make windows maximise actually into the launcher? [21:48] canu-qumm, things like windows manager you cant just install them and expect them to work with no knowledge at all [21:48] sudokill: nope, because I was supposing they would give me a default design of DWM and let me do the other stuff. [21:48] jimmie You mean minimise? [21:48] transmission doesn't seem to allow the torrents to start downloading/uploading, any ideas? [21:49] canu-qumm, for all i know the default could be a blank screen... openbox default is [21:49] bluezone, you sure you got a connection to trackers [21:49] jimmie, System Settings > Dock > Minimise windows into application icon [21:49] i think all you can see are numbers up top for the workspaces for dwm defalt [21:49] default [21:49] scialex, probably, but how do i check that [21:50] scialex, ahhh it jsut started [21:50] sudokill: I'm looking at a guide... [21:50] canu-qumm, id do some googling on it [21:50] wallpaper you probably need nitrogen or feh [21:50] yea good idea [21:50] scialex, every time i ask a question it solves itself lol [21:50] cool [21:50] I am signed in tu Ubuntu One with the wrong account - how can I change the account I am using? [21:51] canu-qumm, as extra said, to do simple things like change your wallapaper youd need a program like feh and have a command load at stratup [21:51] bluezone, to answer your question though you can click on properties and go to the trackers tab. it will show you if there are problems connecting to the trackers. [21:51] scialex, found it thanks [21:51] sudokill: best advice? [21:51] canu-qumm, archlinux has some good guides should guve you enough info [21:52] but not all of it can be applied to ubuntu of course [21:52] canu-qumm, my best advice would be to keep reading until you know roughly what you're doing [21:55] sudokill: got it all done now [21:55] ok cool [21:55] Please, can someone help me with that ubuntu one thing? === BrianH_ is now known as BrianH [21:55] I get the feeling I just jacked up grub. Windows was on /dev/sda1, which I just deleted to make an NTFS storage partition. / is on sda/7 I ran update-grub and all seems well, but I get the feeling that with WIndows gone I will not have a bootable system [21:55] sudokill: All I need to know is how to make it work correctly. [21:56] Has anyone made a purchase through the software center? [21:56] I just got screwed, and I don't know where to file a complaint about it. [21:57] what they took too much money? [21:58] * uRock wonders -- "Should I be installing grub before trying to restart my system?" [21:58] Is there some way to 1) select virtual consoles 2) Kill X 3) Switch X modes by default on Ubuntu. I have problems with video driver apparently. It very frequently gives vertical stripes on the display [21:58] No, they billed me the right amount. I paid for Illumination Software Creator, but I didn't realize it was an outdated version and that the software center is going to screw me by only providing me with an Ubuntu license. [21:58] Now I didn't even get the chance to set avahi config and dyndns for that machine so I could log in with SSH [21:59] before the stripes kicked in [21:59] Version 3.2 was released 28 days ago, why isn't the version in the USC up to date? [21:59] jimmie, i don't understand your Q, wanna repeat it? [21:59] !latest | BrianH [21:59] BrianH: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [21:59] * uRock wonders -- "Should I be installing grub before trying to restart my system?" [22:00] The video card fan on the other hand makes kind of funny noise - maybe the fan is going to break [22:00] sudokill: any idea of where the dwm package is? [22:00] uRock, not if ubuntu grub booted windows for you [22:00] if my computer only has 1.5gb of ram, how much swap space do I need for ubuntu 11? [22:00] sudokill: im going to download the man file now and I'm going to learn how to customize it to my likings. [22:00] ok, i thought you already had dwm installed? [22:00] BrianH: not sure about paid apps personally, hmm. Is there anything in software centre? [22:00] nicofs: think if you remove your machine under devices and reboot and then sign in again [22:00] I have an odd problem, I like using Miro, Miro does a really good job of keeping a video library current if you use it, I also like using ps3server, it allows me to watch that video from miro on the big screen, my issue comes down to somehow having miro accept that the show being watched thru ps3server is equal to being seen thru miro ( then it would update, remove the stale and d/l new stuff) , so, how does one in terminal fake out [22:01] sudokill: turns out its recommended to have the man file. [22:01] sudokill: because it contains the config.h file which is used to customize the dwm. [22:01] the man file probbaly ownt help much [22:01] Thanks sudokill I was worried that I needed the boot sector from WIndows in tact. thanks again [22:01] sudokill: then what shall I do? [22:01] uRock, nah, if grub was what booted both OS's then dont worry about the deleted windows it'll still boot [22:01] So I have to get shafted by the Software Center until they think it's a stable version to release? I could have otherwise purchased the same software directly from the developers and received ALL versions (Ubuntu, Mac, Linux) with access to the most recent versions. [22:01] Anyway, it was a stupid decision to disable those by default... [22:01] and here comes ubuntu on my macbook pro [22:01] lets see what happens [22:02] canu-qumm, i have no idea ive never used dwm [22:02] how come you want dwm over the already installed gnome anyway? [22:02] sudokill: Those are preferences, and because I'd like to try a different GUI. [22:03] sudokill: I've been through Gnome and KDE4 already, XFCE is still one I haven't tried though, but I wanna see how DWM turns out. [22:03] ActionParsnip, Not sure what you're asking. I made the purchase from the Ubuntu Software Center. Thats what my problem is. [22:04] canu-qumm: why can't you install dwm like you did the others? [22:04] BrianH, hes saying the versions arent always the latest, because ubuntu chooses stability over cutting edge [22:04] almoxarife: I did it, it didn't turn out how I expected. [22:05] almoxarife: After logging in, it was all a blank screen with my login manager wallpaper on it. [22:05] almoxarife: and yes I had changed my session to DWM [22:05] does ubuntu work for laptops? [22:05] canu-qumm: Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions Nice words huh [22:05] odam, yes [22:05] odam: yes [22:06] sudokill, I can understand why they wouldn't host the "latest" version if that were the case, but I don't even have access to use the latest version because the Ubuntu Software Center doesn't even give me a real license. [22:06] is 11.04 a good system? [22:06] odam: that's anopinion, so cannot be concrete [22:06] odam: no [22:06] BrianH, no idea :s ive never purchased anything [22:06] odam: not yet [22:06] robin0800_, ok, now it works and i have both computers using the same account... but the folders don't synchronize... [22:06] odam, unity is probably ok for laptops [22:07] hi all, can i do that with django template system — http://pastebin.com/1jR8dA60 ? it's not working now, "value" not reacheable in {% if %} statement — page actually render without errors, but if doesn't return true (and it must return true) [22:07] odam: I think it's fine [22:07] ActionParsnip, will my mic/camera drivers work for ubuntu? [22:08] odam: what laptop you have? [22:08] its a toshiba [22:08] odam: depends on the hardware, The drivers you have are most likely for Windows and are of no value to you [22:08] odam: me too, worked out of the box :) [22:08] theres more than 1 toshiba laptop lol [22:09] ActionParsnip: So, instead of help you tell me I just can't do it because I'm a noob? nice helping techniques you got there. [22:09] toshiba sattelite A3O5D [22:09] or 0 [22:09] canu-qumm, thats what ive been saying all along [22:09] canu-qumm: not my words, read: http://dwm.suckless.org/ [22:09] if you cant read log files, how can you set up dwm? [22:09] satellite even [22:09] odam: 64bit? [22:09] odam: satellite here too [22:09] idk [22:09] canu-qumm: Please strive to be less confrontational here; we're all volunteers. [22:09] canu-qumm: those are from the dwm site. I'd personally avoid people writing like that [22:10] sudokill: you don't expect everyone to know HOW to read log files, right? [22:10] nicofs: and both computers are in devices? also make sure folders you want to synchronize are selected under cloud folders [22:10] canu-qumm, like i said, if you have no clue, do lots of googling and reading up on it first [22:10] sudokill: seems like an elite club, the tone of the site is really smarmy [22:10] odam: when I bought mine there was no mention of 64bit, did the ubuntu 64bit install by accident, worked, then I found out I had the 64bit laptop [22:10] robin0800_, rebooting did the trick... [22:10] canu-qumm, well reading logs is one of the most basic things tbh [22:10] no offense [22:10] lol [22:11] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm not such a fan of interfaces that require huge learning curves to pick up. Then again I like vim, so... [22:11] my crappy computer installed 64bit [22:11] thats not me trying to be rude, but i think you should research first without getting annoyed in here [22:11] i had thought it was 32bit bcoz crappy system [22:11] but it turns out that the Celeron D processor is 64bit lol [22:11] Corey: as long as it does what I needi'm happy to put effort in [22:12] nano vs vim === BrianH is now known as Guest79573 [22:12] sudokill: Dammit, all I want is DWM not having to learn how to read something I don't give a shet for [22:12] ActionParsnip: Granted, but "I can't make this work" being met with "That's probably because you're stupid" by the developer doesn't exactly endear me to them. :-) [22:12] odam: 64bit it quite common [22:12] canu-qumm, you cant have it then [22:12] stick to gnome [22:16] Corey: yeah totally but as long as the support is there its cool [22:16] if you dont want to learn how to do it then theres nothing you can do, its not as simple as "installing it" [22:16] canu-qumm, I want money not heaving to work... shame [22:16] does anybody know how to get games to work on ubuntu? [22:16] !games | odam [22:16] odam: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [22:16] i tried running republic commando on 10.10 and it never works for me [22:16] Every time I close my Laptop's lid, the system suspends even though I set it up differently... [22:16] odam: did you check the appdb? [22:16] appdb? [22:16] odam: 11.04 ubuntu is going thru a identity crisis, hence why I said no, gnome? unity? hybrid? lots of tricks though that people are coming up with, so, that might be fun too [22:16] !appdb | odam [22:16] odam: 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 [22:16] odam, PlayOnLinux from software center could help [22:16] sudokill: But I don't want Gnome, and I don't want Windows or KDE or XFCE or VIm or Nano or whatever GUI is out there, I want DWM. [22:16] nano and vim arent guis [22:16] sudokill: Sounded like they were lol. [22:16] odam: not all games work.Some refuse to even install, some work better than under windows [22:16] odam, it's a pretty nice UI ove wine + prepared game configurations [22:16] canu-qumm, you want dwm yet you havent tried it, and cant be bothered to read up on it. good luck with that [22:16] odam, and not only for games [22:16] sudokill: I already read a guide. [22:16] odam: also ceck if there is a loki installer for it too [22:16] loki? [22:16] sudokill: Oh boy, gonna have to spend some 10 weeks reading some old poop to use DWM. [22:16] odam: you'll see [22:16] canu-qumm, yep [22:16] poop [22:16] any idea where the source for flock is? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [22:16] #nick [22:16] canu-qumm: lol i can pm myself [22:16] canu-qumm, its not for noobs, thats why i sggested using gnome until you want to put some work in to get dwm [22:16] (the program) [22:16] aeiou: flock is dead dude [22:16] ActionParsnip, i found this link: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7255 what do i do now? [22:16] pm mandrake LOL [22:16] sudokill: I've been using Gnome for months o-o [22:16] really [22:16] canu-qumm, and? [22:16] ActionParsnip, what are the alternatives? [22:16] some poeple use it for years [22:16] sudokill: So if I have 35 years using Gnome, it doesn't matter? [22:16] canu-qumm: Is it not simpler to use Awesome, since is practically preconfigured? [22:16] not if you like it [22:16] canu-qumm, i understand though you want to change and play around a bit [22:16] aeiou: !browser | aeiou [22:16] ?

[22:18] odam, what page? [22:18] like /sbin/flock [22:18] Sudokill IDGAF [22:18] what does that stand for [22:18] Mandrake: Keep it civil please.

[22:19] ok lol thanks [22:19] @ActionParsnip - It was my 3rd distro lol [22:19] odam: you already use ubuntu?

[22:22] #channel [22:22] ActionParsnip, yes - but osx 10.6 doesnt have it [22:22] What causes the least overhead you think, AirVideoServer running in Wine or in VirtualBox?

[22:23] hurrah v [22:23] http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=blob;f=sys-utils/flock.c [22:25] When editing /etc/default/grub do I add new parameters INSIDE of quotes and if so are they separated by spaces (as command line options are? So for example would `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"` become `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet noapic"` or `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" noapic` ? Everything I'm reading just says to "add it to the end of the line" but nothing seems to indicate the correct syntax. [22:26] cpruitt: in the quotes like the first one [22:26] almoxarife: you life saver :D [22:26] almoxarife: that helps me! [22:26] Is there a way to monitor the progress synchronization in Ubuntu One? It has been synchronizing some MB for ages now... is it supposed to be that slow? [22:26] ActionParsnip: So it's GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="space separated list of options" correct? [22:27] cpruit 99% of the time it's always in the quotes seperated by spaces [22:27] cpruitt: exactly. Mine is: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1" [22:28] canu-qumm: google is mystical like that [22:28] finds poop [22:29] Hi guys [22:29] I'm having troubles with shrinking/growing my raid partitions. I got md2 & md1, I managed to shrink md2, but when I try to grow md1 it says no free space left on disk, any ideas ? [22:29] ActionParsnip: Thanks very much. That's very helpful. If I do something wrong will `sudo update-grub2` alert me and cancel the update or just hose my boot loader? ;-) [22:29] almoxarife: kay dude [22:31] Anybody ? :/ [22:32] is md1 first on the drive? when you shrunk md2, did it just free up space after it, so you have: md1, md2, space ? [22:32] rewt: Its a raid device so basically I got this : [22:32] Does anyone know if there is a C programming channel? [22:32] Geekydude4, try #c or ##c [22:32] thanks [22:32] rewt: http://d.pr/gnmB [22:33] hi i run a pc repair shop. I have a visual basic program i use to install basic software on windows pcs...acroreader, service packs, etc. I run it off a flash drive now but it has gotten over 8 gigs. was hoping someone new a server that would run this for me [22:33] I want my sda1 and sdb1 to get space from sda2 and sdb2 [22:33] So I managed to shrink md2 [22:33] At least it seems like it [22:34] joepros, this is #ubuntu help channel. Not sure that this is the right place to ask that question, honestly not sure what channel to point you towards either [22:34] joepros try http://ninite.com [22:34] In my energy options in the section "When battery power is critically low" I can only choose between Suspend/Hibernate/Shutdown - I want neither... Is that possible? [22:34] yeah, so when you shrunk that, you probably created space between sda2 and sda3 (and similar on sdb) [22:35] you may need to nudge sda/b2 down to sda/b3 to make space between sda/b1 and sda/b2 [22:35] <|Anthony|> i made a sounds theme and installed it in /usr/share/sounds [22:35] <|Anthony|> but there are some sounds that don't play even though i followed the freedesktop.org sound naming spec... My primary concern are system-bootup and system-ready. [22:35] Hmm.. [22:36] rewt: I have no idea how you do that, could you tell me the name of the command tool to do that [22:36] And i'll google it [22:36] DarkM, gparted would be safer [22:36] as you cant get a command wrong [22:36] Then what option would it be ? :o [22:36] Plus.. [22:36] Its a server [22:36] I can only use parted [22:36] DarkM: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:36] shrink and grow options [22:36] oh ok sorry no gui... [22:36] lol [22:36] <|Anthony|> i get the feeling that these sounds wont play because they are stored in /usr... is there a different place they should be installed for a global effect? [22:36] X) Sorry :D. [22:37] `man parted` says there's a move command to move the partitions, but i'm not sure how well that behaves with raid [22:38] Gosh :/ [22:38] Gonna google more and more [22:38] i have no exp with raid [22:38] no idea about data losssss etc [22:38] :/ [22:39] DarkM, are you trying to grow a partition with no free space in front of it? [22:40] http://nowaygetreal.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/google-vs-the-others/ [22:40] Nah [22:40] I do have free space [22:41] does opening a file flag same?, how can I see realtime flagging? [22:41] I have an odd problem, I like using Miro, Miro does a really good job of keeping a video library current if you use it, I also like using ps3server, it allows me to watch that video from miro on the big screen, my issue comes down to somehow having miro accept that the show being watched thru ps3server is equal to being seen thru miro ( then it would update, remove the stale and d/l new stuff) , so, how does one in terminal fake out [22:42] I just install ubuntu on my computer, and when I try to start it up it freezes forever in the ubuntu start screen.. why is this so? [22:42] Ubuntu box. How can I let apache do whatever the hell it likes with files? it doesn't have permission to change some files because its owned by foobar rather than apache. I don't want to chmod them all to apache. [22:42] FluttershyFan: start screen? [22:43] yes, start screen that says ubuntu with5 dots under it [22:43] I can move my mouse around though [22:44] sudokill: I'm on DWM now. [22:44] good [22:44] :D [22:44] FluttershyFan: you have not seen it move beyond the 'splash' screen, and you tried waiting for how long? [22:44] after all that youll probably end up hating it lol [22:44] all thanks to, almoxarlife :D [22:44] 10 minutes [22:45] sudokill: How come? I'm reading a tutorial on customizing dwm. [22:45] I already know the shortcuts, so what's so hard? [22:45] i dont mean hard [22:45] sudokill: It's called dedication. [22:45] your the one who said you didnt want to be readin up on it! lol [22:45] canu-qumm: I can't take credit for 'googling' [22:45] sudokill: Didn't want to? I wanted. [22:46] almoxarife: whatever lol :P [22:46] if it was me the first thing i'd have done is google "dwm ubuntu" [22:46] but ill get told off for telling you to do that in here [22:46] canu-qumm, dedication: i odnt want to spend ages reading through poop [22:46] Can someone help me speed up my ubuntu one? During the last hour only about 4MB were uploaded... [22:47] sudokill: why would it be a problem telling someone to invest in googling? [22:47] not allowed in here.. [22:47] sudokill: really? [22:47] sudokill: That was because I didnt want to know how to read logs, not dwm [22:47] sudokill: lol. [22:47] my computer just shut off now after waitin like 11 minutes for it to star [22:47] Hey guys. Can anybody help me with some problems I've been having getting my digital camera to work? I can't get my canon powershot to download files properly. gtkam and gphoto2 aren't working [22:47] canu-qumm, ok well logs are useful not poop youll learn that one day :p [22:48] sudokill: whatevs man at least i got dwm working correctly! :D and thats what im happy about [22:48] good [22:48] Alt+P lets you look for all applications, I chose Konsole for the moment. [22:48] oh great [22:48] this seems fun :D [22:48] This update manager thingymabob has completely stopped progress [22:48] its probably still working.. [22:49] And I thought that ***tty updating was somethign only windows had [22:49] sometimes it appaears to hang [22:49] sudokill, the details thing hasn't printed anything in 30 minues [22:49] retry it [22:49] cancel button is grayed out [22:49] DriversBroken, of course you need to update [22:49] Is there a default ftp demon that's installed? [22:49] it just does it better than windows [22:49] *daemon [22:49] DriversBroken, try the system monitor choose it and select kill [22:50] I started computer up again and now all I get is a black screen, and im able to move a mouse around [22:50] !bit [22:50] soooo, what could be the cause of the battery not working anymore on my backbookpro after installing ubuntu...... [22:50] sudokill: No, I thought that poorly managed dependency hell updating was something linux fixed. [22:50] what dependency hell [22:50] shamess: there is [22:50] ubuntu does it all for you [22:50] sudokill: Well, windows has dependency hell, I was just venting abit at windows :P [22:50] sudokill: it can happen, its just rare [22:51] almoxarife: Lovely! What is it? [22:51] shamess: no but you can install an ftp server, or install openssh-server and get an sftp server [22:51] sudokill: I have no idea which process it is [22:51] neither do i [22:51] :( [22:51] ActionParsnip: Oh right. SFTP would make me more comfortable, so I'll set that up. Thanks. [22:51] Eitan: which macbook isit? [22:52] sudokill: Well, I do have a "zombie" process, should I kill that? [22:52] DriversBroken, maybe try rebooting if its hung and try again it shouldnt be hanging... [22:52] DriversBroken: You cannot kill zombie [22:52] if rebooting isnt a problem [22:52] shamess: also allows secure access outside of the LAN [22:53] hello auspicious panel of of intellectuals [22:53] Hi guitar_dave [22:54] :0 [22:54] hi [22:54] sudo...hello [22:54] \''/ ^_^ \''/ [22:54] and Python [22:55] is there a way for me to review past chats?

[22:55] guitar_dave, what irc client do you use [22:55] guitar_dave, it depends if you have logging enabled [22:55] xchat [22:55] just installed gridwars, when I play about 5 min it gets closed .... Why could that be ?? [22:55] i use that, should be in home folder /.xchat2 logs [22:55] or similar idk i disable logging [22:56] home folder....

I've tried using gtkam and gphoto2, but they aren't working [22:59] qwer: cool, try launching it from terminal [22:59] ActionParsnip: already did that ;) [22:59] it should display errors [22:59] sudo... i will check out how folder [22:59] but it still hangs after about 5 min [22:59] closes* [22:59] *Home* folder [23:00] ok [23:00] action: macbook pro 3-1 [23:00] ActionParsnip: will try it now with more less graphic effects [23:00] 3,1 [23:02] sudo...worked great [23:02] !find libXv.so.1 [23:02] File libXv.so.1 found in ia32-libs, libxv1, libxv1-dbg [23:02] so, HDMI output on my intel chipset on my desktop used to work, and I could select HDMI audio out. but now, there's no option.

[23:07] have you checked in the audio device section [23:07] to see if its still set to default [23:07] there was an explicit option there for the audio. But now it's gone [23:07] hm, wait [23:07] Gridwars kicks me out after some minutes of playing .... Why could that be?? [23:07] sorry, was wrong [23:08] how about the HDMI video? [23:08] This is printed into terminal: "appstub.linux signal handler 11" [23:08] erm [23:08] do you guys know any text editors you would recommend? I do not want to use gedit, vim or ultraedit for various reasons.. [23:08] nano [23:08] guys.. [23:08] is the best [23:08] zeppelin101: nano all the way [23:08] lol [23:08] isnt nano commandline.. [23:08] it seems ubuntu wont start with my graphics card in [23:08] yea [23:08] zeppelin101: yep [23:08] alt+p shouldnt interfere when im on a program [23:08] but it does [23:08] hardy har har.. [23:08] and now i cant scroll down [23:09] lol [23:09] zeppelin101, gedit and nano are the best 2 imo [23:09] canu-qumm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:09] zeppelin101: or leafpad [23:09] got the solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=854208 [23:09] lol [23:09] sudokill: it so happens that gedit actually cant open certain files that vim can,for example. but vim is just annoying compared to notepad++ or gedit for example [23:09] FluttershyFan: did you disable the onboard in BIOS first? [23:09] canu-qumm, im sure youll enjoy all sorts of problems [23:09] zeppelin101, vim is annoying yes, and slow to use [23:09] sudokill: Yeah, I'm new so I will encounter problems and I will feel happy about fixing them by myself. [23:10] yes [23:10] zeppelin101, what do you mean cant open? nano should be able to open ones gedit cant [23:10] sudokill: gedit couldnt open a malformed html file [23:10] and i want a GUI text editor [23:10] sudokill: if you don't know how to use it. [23:10] not sure about those... lol [23:10] yes [23:10] zeppelin101: scite [23:10] bastidrazor, i do know, i just prefer nano [23:10] sudokill: there's like 9 workspaces [23:10] it starts up perfectly when its not in, but when it is in it just stays on splash screen forever [23:10] bastidrazor: i'll look it up [23:11] sudokill: so when there's not many processes, i can keep chrome in one and terminal on other [23:11] yea [23:11] zeppelin101: bluefish is a gui text editor that's geared towards html [23:11] you can change to however many workspaces you want [23:11] 2 is good enough for me [23:11] en que canal en español me pueden ayudar ? [23:11] so far all i can say is that Notepad++ >>>>>>>>> everything else [23:11] !es | muchon [23:11] muchon: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:12] ubottu gracias [23:12] though Scite actually look verrry nice from screenshots [23:12] *looks [23:13] hello all [23:13] sudokill: u see? i found out how to open folders; i had to open nautilus lol [23:14] yea, thats the file manager [23:14] lol [23:14] you're learning :) [23:14] is there a chance ubuntu 11 isnt comptible with my graphics card? [23:15] FluttershyFan: it's a very slim chance - but why dont you try the live CD? [23:15] FluttershyFan, did you upgrade from 10.10? [23:15] dang it only had 1 blank cd and I wasted it on ubuntu 11 [23:15] hi im new andreanna has been helping me setup my system might have the wrong room tho please helpty [23:15] I downloaded 11 and install from cd [23:16] FluttershyFan, cdrws are worth having [23:16] FluttershyFan: probably you need to install the drivers for your graphics card to get full potential of your gc, like 3d stuff [23:17] will unreal tournament run on this system ??? please [23:17] how do I install the drivers if I cant start it up? [23:17] you cant [23:17] i think youre pretty much stuck [23:18] o_o [23:18] any hd player for ubuntu? [23:18] FluttershyFan: you did not mention the exact issue, what happens when you insert the cd and boot up? [23:18] vlc, mplayer etc [23:18] dee27, vlc is most common [23:18] cant I take the graphics card out and install drivers? [23:19] no, because your pc wouldnt boot [23:19] i dont think [23:19] and if it did, you couldnt see anything lol [23:20] my computer boots up ok when my graphics card is not in [23:20] FluttershyFan, disable integrated maybe [23:20] my bad it prob does that itself [23:20] anyone know is there is a channel for mzscheme/plt-scheme/racket? [23:20] it is disabled, and im gonna see what the live cd does [23:20] tzhuang: try #scheme [23:20] peterhil: thanks [23:20] FluttershyFan, you culd install drivers using your integrated card but youd have to do it manually as the additional dirvers wouldnt detect the card [23:20] what card is it you're using? nvidia? [23:21] nvidia and ati should work out the box.. [23:21] hello, trying to install a printer, how can I decide what queue mode I should be using? [23:21] ati radeon 5670 series [23:21] the kernel driver should work [23:22] its not recommended to manually install drivers so itd be a bit messy [23:23] FluttershyFan: if you have integrated video and a card, you have to disable the integrated and enable the video card in the bios or the screen will be black [23:23] the live cd works [23:23] bios does that for you [23:23] I clicked on Probe and now I have all the options of the world [23:23] specially in this day and age [23:23] Just can't figure the right one... [23:23] yea, my bios autolatically adjusts setting for gfx cards [23:24] hey guys, I have a few questions: [23:24] why is PostgreSQL still in 8.4.8 version? 9.0 was out waaaayyy back! [23:27] anyone know a good ebook to learn about ubuntu networking [23:27] histo, I'm very interested in keeping ubuntu as my permanent OS, but I'm wondering -- how do I run iTunes in ubuntu? [23:27] when I do try ubuntu with live cd it sets at a black screen and im able to move my mouse around [23:27] IS it OKay to distribute Ubuntu with VLC added into it? === bradj is now known as bradj|afk [23:28] wheres a good place to learn about ubuntu networking [23:28] ????? [23:28] google [23:28] is there a chance that ubuntu 10 will work? [23:29] you could try it [23:29] googled [23:29] duvel: rhythmbox is a lot like iTunes [23:29] only 1 problem.. I dont have any more live cd's [23:29] FluttershyFan: Ubuntu 10 works fantastically. I'm using it now [23:30] extraclassic: Can't sync my iPhone with Rhythmbox [23:30] FluttershyFan, you should pick up a cdrw or dvdrw that way you can play around with what you want [23:30] How do you change your external ip adress? [23:30] sudokill you could say that about every question asked on irc [23:30] I do have cdrw drive [23:30] Hi, I just updated Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 (VirtualBox VM in a Windows Vista host) and now it won't boot. It just hangs on the splash screen (Ubuntu logo with red dots under it) - What can I do? [23:30] disc i mean [23:30] duvel: iTunes doesn't work in Wine as far as I know [23:30] extraclassic: Okay, Thank you. [23:31] lewisperry, if on DSL, you could probably just restart the modem, otherwise contact your ISP [23:31] lewisperry: install TOR :) [23:31] kanlacism, get Ubuntu as the host, Windows as the guest; that would be the best bet :D [23:31] hey im having the same problem as kanlacism [23:31] anyone know how to setup identd for gnome xchat? [23:32] FluttershyFan, get a blank disc and try 10.10 [23:32] vaibhav: I'm not gonna screw around with my setup if I don't have to. It was working fine until I did the dist upgrade. Are you saying 11.04 is incompatible with VirtualBox? [23:32] has so much less problems [23:32] all i hear is people cant boot with 11.04 [23:32] or its slow [23:32] lewisperry: I heard somewhere you could unplug your modem and wait a couple hours and the ISP would give you another IP...depends on the lease time though [23:32] normally lease time is years [23:32] kanlacism, I think you should check out the Vbox version instead. [23:32] maybe some isps are different [23:33] julie101010, you have to forward the port on your router to your internal ip address [23:33] bad idea I guess [23:33] duvel, which port does it use? [23:33] kanlacism, moreover, its VISTA... so anything can fail anytime. I have really bad experiences with that OS...it bloody came free with my laptop. [23:33] idk maybe some isps do that but i doubt it you normally have an ip for a long long time unless you phone isp [23:33] julie101010, port 113 [23:33] thanks [23:34] well taking out my graphics card fixed my ubuntu 11 freezing at splash screen problem. maby 11 is just very uncompatible with gfx cards [23:34] julie101010, no problem [23:34] FluttershyFan, i think its just a bad release in general [23:34] im gonna search the house for a blank cd [23:34] FluttershyFan: Are you running it in a VM as well? [23:35] lol [23:35] nope, I installed to hard drive using cd [23:35] kanlacism: do you have a graphics card as well? [23:36] FluttershyFan: Yes [23:37] Is there any way I can at least get an error message?

I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to create a launcher that opens a network folder based on the logged-in user's name. For example: smb://moo.grasslands.farm/barn/user/$LOGNAME.
