[00:29] Dodgydave: Ubuntu desktop === New is now known as new [00:29] Dodgydave, I'm no expert, someone else here will certainly know more... however, I'm surprised there's no "Desktop" option [00:29] minimec, this is a new user i added [00:29] qin, dont have a 'desktop' option only server and cloud [00:29] i suppose i could resize the 2nd partition (source) and then try to clone again - better than trying to increase target partition size === new is now known as adek [00:30] Dodgydave: Where did you get iso from?

[00:30] let me check [00:31] Having trouble installing 11.04 on a freshly formatted HDD, any suggestions on a how to get the Ubuntu Live CD to boot [00:31] ncypher, boot into your BIOS [00:32] ncypher, you might need to change boot order [00:32] I have, DVD Drive is first [00:32] qin...got it here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [00:32] boot order and make sure CD/DVD is enabled to boot [00:32] ncypher, then I yield to someone else :p [00:33] Is the network manager started before or after you log in on ubuntu? [00:33] minimec, could you please keep the links you gave me? ill relog with the sudo user i had on install [00:33] I want to just throw windows through a window and install ubuntu so any suggestions on how to do this is welcome [00:34] Dodgydave: Where are you in installer? [00:34] Need urgent help [00:34] chrisvj: Before [00:34] ncypher: download the installer from the ubuntu website and follow the directions on the page where you download it [00:35] qin: how to I set a script to execute after the network manager, but before i log in? [00:36] I went all the way through answering the questions that I thought were correct. Having done that I get to a black screen similar to the terminal. someone suggested Gnome hadn't started for some reason [00:36] chrisvj: root crontab, or init, with if networkmanager (or ping ok) up do stuff [00:36] demox: Whenever you want ;) [00:37] Dodgydave: have you ran ubuntu since you installed it? [00:37] Dodgydave, if you have Server then I think GNOME not starting is normal [00:37] chrisvj: Adding delay in script mostly works too [00:37] I was assuming it was Desktop [00:37] I have started a fresh install of Server and am currently at "your network is probably not using DHCP" [00:38] lol [00:38] Dodgydave: Server do not contain gui (here: gnome) [00:38] Dodgydave: if you have server and it just pulls up a black screen, its working correctly [00:38] Dodgydave, you to not want to install server - you want to install desktop [00:38] Dodgydave, you should probably go get Desktop and erase Server [00:38] Jesdiciple, where do I get desktop. When I search in google all links lead to here ....http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [00:38] i found that out by installing it, thought it was ubuntu customized for running a server [00:38] Dodgydave, that's where I'm getting it too [00:38] Can anyone tell me what to do? I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on Win7. It worked well until i need to install the drivers for my nvidia card. After the reboot, my Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor won't work. I cannot do anything. I cannot Reinstall Windows cause the CD/DVD-Drives won't work. I cannot see anything cause the Monitor is Black. The Keyboard won't work so no Bios or boot sequence can be set or changed... What can i do?? Please help me [00:39] filo1234: if i use dd to copy from 1 partition to the other will it have the same issue? [00:39] I cant find any other option to download [00:40] Dodgydave, I see options for 32 and 64-bit [00:40] 11.04 ? 32 bit or 64 bit ? [00:40] Dodgydave: OK, when you finish install, we will see what to do. [00:40] Dodgydave, what is your cpu [00:40] Dodgydave, I went to the url you gave and it is there real big - just choose 11.04 and 32 or 64 [00:40] yes, which should it be [00:40] exit [00:40] Dodgydave, 32 is default, and if I choose 64 and click download the ISO that offers to download is a Desktop release [00:40] 64bit [00:40] chrisvj: I bet for most people it woule be better to install Desktop and then install whatever servers you need independently through app server or synaptic [00:41] Dodgydave, you can tell it's desktop when it has "desktop" as part of the filename [00:41] hang on, I'm looking now [00:41] ParadigmUltra: ah ok, ty. i was going to just install xammp (xampp?) [00:42] where did user 13 go/ [00:42] ? === x_ is now known as demoxx [00:42] where in a middle of a task [00:42] minimec, hey so ive installed those [00:43] just tried it again, it seems to be downloading a desktop version now [00:43] demoxx: ok. you can update your system now. It should update some xorg and intel packages. [00:43] demoxx: sudo apt-get update [00:43] We made it, HURRAY! [00:44] I will try and burn a new dvd and see what happens [00:44] demoxx: tehn sudo apt-get upgrade [00:44] Can anyone tell me what to do? I cannot reinstall anything cause the CD/DVD's won't work. The Keyboard and Mouse and the Monitor is DEAD. Please, what to do? I need my PC. [00:44] thanks minimec :) [00:44] after its done i just reboot and thats it? [00:44] should it install similar to Windows, to a standard desktop interface ? [00:45] demoxx: Let's hope it works ;) no problem... [00:45] Im running win7 ult with truecrypt bootloader, entire FS is encrypted. trying to install ubuntu with wubi? Once it rebooted made it through bootloader into final install of ubuntu, now it says it can't find the iso it downloaded. [00:45] is ubuntu 100% gnu software? [00:45] Dodgydave, yep [00:45] Dodgydave, different enough to require learning though [00:45] fingers crossed then, thanks for the input [00:45] :) [00:46] I have used it in the past, but had to do a new install as I managed to break the last one :) [00:47] I seemed to screw it up somehow trying to install Google Chrome for Linux. Didn't like it and lost alot of functionality such as Software Centre [00:47] hey will someone whisper to user13 [00:47] saying that to read private message [00:47] odd... I suggest avoiding Chrome though, I couldn't find any good reason to keep using it [00:47] it crashed all the time for me [00:48] huh, google chrome for linux? How you do that? [00:48] Dodgydave, and I tried like 2 or 3 separate times [00:48] use chromium [00:48] Chrome proper is also distributed by Google [00:48] I didn't know they made a version for linux [00:48] I use it extensively on my windows dektop and never had a problem with it, I like it. Maybe the Linux version is still a bit buggy [00:48] Chromium is the opensource, unbranded version [00:48] Anyone listen to my problem? [00:48] I use Chrome for Linux and love it [00:49] The most noticible difference between it and chromium is the logo. [00:49] where do I get linux chrome? [00:49] yeah all shades of blue, not tri colour [00:49] Sven_, try entreing it again [00:49] http://google.com/chrome [00:49] entering* [00:50] Either google.com/chrome, or apt-get install chromium-browser for the fully open-source version. [00:50] I will try it because I want the google toolbar [00:50] Sven_: Can you boot to grub menu (hold shift) [00:50] I have all my bookmarks in google, so I need the toolbar to retrieve them. [00:50] Paradigm... er... nevermind [00:51] bah, I'll go ahead and say it... Firefox has a Google Toolbar available [00:51] not 5 [00:51] Hello, can anyone Help me out? [00:51] aah I see [00:51] :-( 5 doesn't have it yet [00:51] Sven_, try entering your question again [00:51] Sven_: Can you boot to grub menu (hold shift)? [00:51] where is usr 13 its getting late [00:51] Actually Chrome doesn't have google toolbar (or any toolbar for that matter) [00:51] Can anyone tell me what to do? I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on Win7. It worked well until i need to install the drivers for my nvidia card. After the reboot, my Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor won't work. I cannot do anything. I cannot Reinstall Windows cause the CD/DVD-Drives won't work. I cannot see anything cause the Monitor is Black. The Keyboard won't work so no Bios or boot sequence can be set or changed... What can i do?? Please help me [00:52] oh, well then forget that. [00:52] What package does Locale fall under? I am getting errors because for whatever reason - Locale is not installed? [00:52] Alright, so I've got three partitions: DellUtility 109.79MiB, RECOVERY 10.00GiB, and OS 222.78GiB with 1.18Mib of unallocated space...someone please tell me I can get rid of some of that if I want to dual boot with vista. [00:52] Scribbled2x: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [00:53] qin - thanks [00:53] No, cannot boot anything... After i see my G-Card info ( PC starts, then it shows me my nvida info, what card and so on... then the Monitor turns black and all is dead ) [00:53] Chrome does have a bookmark manager as well as an import and export bookmark facility [00:53] hey do you whisper with a backslash? [00:53] Sven_: Is it desktop? [00:54] My PC? Yes it's a Desktop PC. [00:54] Sven_: Do you have also onboard graphics (second rgb plug)? [00:54] Delrayne: ok, delete all that and creat 2 partitions. Primary partition should be windows and have about 60 - 80 gigs max, the rest give to linux [00:54] No [00:54] Sven_: After BIOS screen press shift key. choose the newest kernel in recovery mode and drop ro a root shell. then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:54] I cannot chosse my BIOS... [00:54] qin - http://pastebin.com/tGHKkiNV < what all does that mean -- wow they were just coming out with Locale when I stopped using Linux the first time [00:55] Okay, I'm ahving some difficulty with audio on Natty. AC97 audio isn't working with Pulse Audio. It's onboard Realtek. Any ideas or help? Links? [00:55] ParadigmUltra: Was told anything over 20Gigs is a waste for linux. [00:55] Sven_: What? Are you able to post picture of back of your pc? [00:55] yawn [00:55] Delrayne: LOL, sure, if you don't want to run any games, or anything good [00:55] ParadigmUltra: Not to mention vista is already installed...so I just need to resize it rather than delete it, yeah? === derp|gone is now known as derp [00:55] The audio shows "Internal Audio", but just doesn't output. [00:55] Delrayne - depends on the application - a database will chew up 20GB with a quickness [00:56] is it 2050 yet? [00:56] Sven_: Ok. Did oyu try to suspend or hibernate. Press On button on the PC until it shutsdown. Plug the AC! Wait 10 seconds. Plug again and boot. [00:56] Sven_: Unplug the AC ;) [00:56] One second i'll try [00:56] sure feels like boring coming along === root____2 is now known as BingBong [00:57] scribbled2x: ParadigmUltra: What do you recommend for partition sizes to dual boot with vista for someone who's starting to delve a bit deeper into the coding/programming world? [00:57] I can't copy or md5 the ISO... I get "Input/output error" every time [00:57] tell him i can connect using remote desktop [00:57] I guess that indicates corruption *sigh* [00:57] Scribbled2x: ParadigmUltra: by the way, I have no experience with partitions what so ever, so I hope one of you can walk me through it. [00:58] la la la polly [00:58] Delrayne - there are way too many more knowledgable and experienced users here for me to suggest - I am stubbling through this usually with my head up my butt [00:58] ^^ [00:58] heh, anyone care to speak up then? [00:58] Scribbled2x: sudo locale-gen your_lang, or sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf [00:59] Im running win7 ult with truecrypt bootloader, entire FS is encrypted. trying to install ubuntu with wubi? Once it rebooted made it through bootloader into final install of ubuntu, now it says it can't find the iso it downloaded. [00:59] Scribbled2x: What version is it? [00:59] Delrayne, with partitioning using cfdisk? [00:59] qin - thanks and it is oneiric [00:59] Delrayne: I have a rather small hard drive on account of it being solid state, but I have 160Gig total, 80 for linux and 80 for windows. Honestly if I had more space I would have the rest of it as a NTFS storage partion that can be accessed by both. [00:59] will someone pop me some popcorn cause its gonna be a long one lol [00:59] qin - it is a live build in a chroot environment [00:59] Scribbled2x: /j #ubuntu+1 [00:59] any suggestions for ensuring I get an uncorrupted ISO? [00:59] rgr [01:00] Hmmm... Seems to work... gimme a few more seconds ;os [01:00] I can't even md5 it because of an I/O error [01:00] Scribbled2x: I do not suspect there is known solutions to most of alpha issues [01:00] ParadigmUltra: thats my ultimate goal. I've got 250gigs to work with, I figure 80-100 for vista and 80-100 for linux and the other 50 for roam by both. [01:00] Delrayne: Yeah, that sounds god [01:00] good*' [01:01] *idea* maybe Firefox or Ubuntu is somehow bugging and screwing things up... I'll try on Windows, but be a little sad if it works [01:01] Delrayne: if you were going to install an M$ Os why would you choose that to be Vista rather than 7? [01:01] qin - yea sorry bout that - I didn't think that this was a version specific issue [01:01] ParadigmUltra: Ok, well I've got gparted open in the liveCD should I try to resize/delete now or wait until installation? [01:01] redeyyez: vista is already installed. [01:01] Scribbled2x: did you chroot oneric? [01:01] anyone have a google + invite to give me =P [01:02] Delrayne: Ah, makes sense. [01:02] pushpop, wrong place to ask [01:02] Delrayne: Since you don't want to lose your vista install I suggest using GParted [01:02] Delrayne, you might take a screen shot of gparted a pastebin it just so your helpers know the partitioning setup as of now [01:02] i figured [01:02] quick steps on how? [01:03] pushpop, try #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps [01:03] Delrayne: I don't think the installer will preserve your data durring it's partitioning [01:03] pastebin I get..never pasted anything but code up there though. [01:03] Back again !¬!!! [01:03] qin yes I am working in chroot [01:03] Install upgrade problem: Somehow the upgrade manager is trying to upgrade from lucid _to_ hardy and won't do it... help! [01:03] Delrayne, there is an image bin as well . [01:03] (crying) what am i supposed to do waaaaaaa!!!! [01:03] nit-wit ah, ok...so whats the keys for a screenshot? [01:03] tomc... that's downgrading... [01:03] Lucid to Hardy is NOT an upgrade. [01:03] ubuntufreak21: Ask proper question. [01:04] !please | ubuntufreak21 [01:04] ubuntufreak21: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [01:04] I seem to have downloaded a desktop version but now I am having difficulty burning a DVD in windows 7. Ubuntu webpage assumes you are using Ubuntu, anyone help with windows 7 ? [01:04] Delrayne, use the screenshot in the menu and image bin http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [01:04] ubuntufreak21: I'm not sure if you need #utuntu or #Jesus [01:05] davereg, I see a guide for Windows right in front of me [01:05] you have seven windows davereg? Make sure to burn it as an image disk [01:05] Thanks onlineamateur ... so is there a downgrade manager... my intention was/is to get to 11.04 [01:05] i need usr 13 [01:05] ubuntufreak21: What? [01:05] qin - is there a package that i am missing? For example something that establishes locale ---> better question actually might be: is there something I can read to provide me with background to this [01:05] davereg, go to ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download and find "Burn your CD or create a USB drive" [01:05] What is the proper way to make ubuntu boot to a console. I did update-rc.s -f gdm remove, but it still loads... [01:05] I must be blind.... can you paste the link ? [01:05] i need to send usr13 a message [01:05] davereg, select the radio buttons CD and Windows, then click "Show me how" [01:06] davereg: Scribbled2x just pasted it [01:06] Can some admin shut up ubuntufreak21 [01:06] do you have to use env when setting te WINEPREFIX ? [01:06] DOH !!!!! [01:06] you people dont know about user 13? [01:06] :p [01:06] he is in idle right now [01:07] ParadigmUltra: nit-wit: http://imagebin.org/162217 [01:07] usr13, but no I don't know anything about the person [01:07] tomc: I am not aware of a downgrade manager. [01:07] "You people" What do you mean by "You people"? [01:07] he is supposed to be helpping me guys [01:07] Delrayne, thanks hod on [01:07] ubuntufreak21: what about him? he helped me earlier. [01:07] *hold [01:07] Scribbled2x: em, man locale? lc_all is less, failsafe, locale, you can ignore it. [01:07] is he still on? [01:08] tomc: Are you sure that's what it says? [01:08] not sure, don't see a way to see active users in the room. [01:08] qin - I am checking that out now [01:08] thank you [01:08] ubuntufreak21: Do you know that there is /ignore command too? Maybe, like not many of us, he have a life? [01:08] ubuntufreak21: please stop spamming! And we are here to help if you need anything so if you want stop spamming and bring a question...usr13 is idle so he's not available at the moment [01:08] I can post the error messages... I've done it several times and checked the forums... [01:09] gisli: How did you check that/ [01:09] minimec & qin: Thx a lot. Don't know why, but unplugging was the problem solver... Thx a lot... ;o) [01:09] ok [01:09] i need some one to look at my usb problema [01:10] Delrayne: ubuntufreak just said it a couple of lines ago. I don't know how to see it in irssi-client [01:10] ah [01:10] Delrayne, the partition you would resize is half full, the paging and unmovable files are going to be pretty far onto that partition. Just a resize of it=sda3 has some danger without setting it up coeewctly for resizing. Are you completely backed up? [01:10] ubuntufreak21: what's the problem with your usb? [01:10] ubuntufreak21, what usb problems, please be very clear [01:10] *correctly [01:10] qin - I think I understand - locale basically configures how programs / OS will react according to geographical constraints associated with the users language? [01:10] there is no root hub [01:11] nit-wit: no, but there isn't anything on there I can't afford to lose..assuming I don't lose the operating system. [01:11] !details | ubuntufreak21 [01:11] ubuntufreak21: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:11] Sven_: no problem. It shocked me the first time too ;) [01:11] when i try to insert my usb nothing happens [01:11] i upgraded firefox by adding ppa:firefox-stable. But now I can't start firefox! How do I fix this? [01:12] nit-wit: I have defragged it today though. [01:12] alpha: can you roll back version using synaptic? [01:12] alpha, upgrade to what [01:12] ubuntufreak21: does the drive show up in nautilus? [01:12] Delrayne, if it was me I would turn off the paging reboot it then defragg it then shrink it with gparted leaving a open space for a extended partition to put linux in [01:12] p_res, how do you roll back? [01:12] whats that/ [01:12] alpha, purge the ppa. fx5 is in regular repos [01:12] ? [01:12] bazhang, I think I have firefox 5.0 right now. [01:12] nit-wit turn of paging? how do I do that? [01:12] !info purge-ppa | alpha [01:12] alpha: search in synaptic for "firefox" then when you right click on it, you should be able to do it in one of the tabs. [01:12] the ubuntu file manager. Go to places on the top left of your screen and click "Coomputer" [01:12] alpha: Package purge-ppa does not exist in natty [01:13] augh [01:13] alpha, ppa-purge is the package [01:13] msg NickServ identify bapida [01:13] alpha: i don't use synaptic, so can't talk you through exact process. [01:13] OogyPoogy: owned? [01:13] what is nautilius [01:13] join #ubuntu [01:13] the file explorer [01:13] OogyPoogy: ouch... Been there, done that. Choose a new password, please... [01:14] alpha, install the package ppa-purge, run it, then install fx5 from the normal ubuntu repos [01:14] bazhang, it tells me purge-ppa does not exist in natty [01:14] usr13, I was able to get the partitions on my hard drive deleted.. I tried with a completely unpartitioned drive and the installer didn't like it.. I made a single linux partition and made it bootable and the Ubuntu 11.04 installer still doesn't like it. /dev/sda is an option when it asks you which drive, but there are no partitioning options available [01:14] ubuntufreak21: I just told you !!! it's the ubuntu file manager. Go to places on the top left of your screen and click "Coomputer" [01:14] exit [01:14] err [01:14] alpha, yes, it was a mistype, its ppa-purge [01:14] !info ppa-purge [01:14] ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages.

Thanks for your help guys, Jesdisiple and Qin :) [01:15] God [01:15] no problem :) [01:15] iits not there [01:15] onlineamateur, or someone, can you look at the errors ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/640486/ [01:15] Delrayne, you turn it off do the rebot to remove it and defragg again, follow this on how to turn t off. When your finished installing Linux you can turn t back on. http://www.mydigitallife.info/tweak-windows-vista-virtual-memory-change-or-disable-paging-file-size/ [01:15] ubuntufreak21, are you using ubuntu? [01:16] ubuntufreak21: try another usb port then...you are using Ubuntu right? [01:16] bazhang, I'm looking for this ppa-purge package. I does not seem to be such a thing in synaptic [01:16] ubuntufreak21, nautilus is most certainly there if you are [01:16] But I'm glad that i had a LapTop to get here to ask for help... And I'm proud that there's a chat for helpless and you're so helpfulll ;o) Thnaks a Lot. I don't know what I#ll do without your help ;o) [01:16] bazhang, (Im using 10.04) [01:16] I have an hp pavillion pv6pbroadcom 802.11 [01:16] alpha, thought you mention natty earlier [01:17] alpha: type in terminal firefox --version [01:17] dbruns what os do you have? [01:17] what version does it report? [01:17] I'm trying to install 11.04 . I had win 7 installed taking up the entire hard drive in this box, so I used fdisk to remove all partitions and add a single linux partition (bootable) now when I run the installer from the live CD, although the HDD space check succeeds, it offers no partitioning options and does not display the partition i created on dev/sda [01:17] what is the difference between setting an environment variable using "env" or just declaring it. What is the difference between saying env NAME=Jose and just saying NAME=Jose at the command line [01:17] ubuntufreak21, I"m on the unbtu 11.04 desktop live CD right now... nothing on the HDD atm [01:17] do you have a pen drive? [01:17] Delrayne, peronally i have my paging file off altogether I just clone my setups regularly and, and stor everything externally. [01:17] HP pavillion dv6233se with the Broadcom 802.11 wlan... guess what problem i'm having... [01:18] tomc: Where are you getting these errors? [01:18] p_res, http://pastebin.com/RxgFwvjj [01:18] db runs do you have a usb stick? [01:18] alpha: odd. [01:18] Hello! [01:18] lost?!? [01:19] Jesus [01:19] alpha: did you try my synaptic suggestion? [01:19] Its far too easy to miss that / [01:19] ? [01:19] ubuntufreak21, yep. i have a 8GB usb drive right next to me. but I'm booting to the ubuntu 11.04 CD right now.. why? [01:19] Question: Does anyone here have experience with a Dell Mini 9 and Ubuntu? I have been doing research about it and its almost like Dell stopped supporting it and documenting anything on it all together? [01:19] OogyPoogy: We did not miss it. [01:19] qin: haha [01:20] qin: I was able to change it [01:20] can still get to the internet? [01:20] ubuntufreak21, yes . . . why? [01:21] ubuntufreak21: just wanted to point out that if he's on this IRC-channel than he (dbruns) most definetely is connected to the internet... [01:21] ok good what you need to install ubuntu to harddrive using yumi multiboot [01:21] nit-wit: alright, headed to go turn paging off, defrag and then come back for further instructions. [01:21] I had wireless before the last Ubuntu 10 update and then it just stopped working, so i installed 11 thinking that they might have resolved the problem but it has persisted ever since. I've tried some things from the web but the 1 that actually did work only worked until reboot. [01:21] just go to http://pendrivelinux.com [01:22] Can anyone direct me to a update list of supported minibooks for Ubuntu? [01:22] ubuntufreak21, why can I not install from the CD [01:22] p_res: I seem to be able to force another version of firefox, I'll try that [01:22] I used the "script" command to record my actions and ouput to a file. But that file has command and special characters.. How do I remove them? [01:22] cause your cd may be corrupt [01:22] jjgalvez__: env is a unix command which sets an environment variable just for the duration of the command it runs (see man env). NAME=Jose is a bash assignment which sets the variable for the rest of the session. Hope that helps... [01:22] alpha: yes, do. [01:22] is there any way to enable compiz and desktop effects in classic desktop (natty)? Even with a brand new user it doesn't work ... yes I have all the compiz packages installed and ccsm ... [01:22] wireless switch is on, so i'm not one of those [01:23] ubuntufreak21, if the CD is corrupt, why am I in ubuntu right now? [01:23] or had change the default application to open the cd with [01:23] Loshki: Thanks it all makes sense now [01:23] ok what does is say? [01:23] Israfel-Laptop: output of script can be replayed with script, be specific what you want to do. [01:24] HOw do I remove special characters from a script file? I can "cat" it out and it looks fine because BASH takes the commands literally and prints it properly. [01:24] thanks a lot minimec :) [01:24] dbruns: what's your problem exactly...sorry to do this but ubuntufreak21 doesn't seem to know anything about this [01:24] how do i get rid of the annoying taskbar thing that shows up on the left hand side of the screen? [01:24] the problem is: in the "Allocate drive space" step of the installer, nothing shows in the big box and when I select the only option "/dev/sda", it says "No root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu [01:24] Israfel-Laptop, what about with "cat -A"? [01:24] question, i dont feel my netbook is much faster on ubuntu from windows7, if ill change WM would it make a big difference? [01:24] demox: can you run unity with effects now with that intel? [01:24] qin, So I use script to show script? I need to alter the file because I need to put it into a report. [01:25] Israfel-Laptop, sed can remove anything [01:25] minimec, whats unity? :p [01:25] demox: depends on the wm you choose. [01:25] dbruns: have you tried partitioning the drive from the install-disc? [01:25] why dont just download ubuntu to your usb stick along with yumi multiboot installer ad reboot your copmputer press f12 to go to boot menu [01:25] demox: i use naked unity with awn, runs great. [01:25] !unity > demox [01:26] demox, please see my private message === D3Mc4 is now known as Scoop3 [01:26] demox: happy for you ;) [01:26] You guys are like House MD' [01:26] kellnola, How do I get it to use the output properly? Because I need the output to look how it looks in the CLI. So I need more than just cutting the commands. I need it to shower properly. [01:26] and launch your usb then wait until yumi starts then click on linux distributions and click on ubuntu [01:26] gisli, how?? the "New partition table" "add" Change" buttons are all unclickable... [01:26] ramadan: only with more knowledge ;) [01:26] In order to remove a package do I use the synaptic package installer or can I just delete the folder of the application like in OS X to just remove it? [01:27] Israfel-Laptop, not sure what you mean ... what are you displaying it to? [01:27] how to upgrade to natty from the cl? [01:27] minimec, oh yeah it runs a lot better now [01:27] irreverant: synaptic. [01:27] is it possible to find an encrypted home drive's passphrase while logged into that account? [01:27] irreverant: remove it with apt-get or aptitude or synaptic or the software center === MC8 is now known as zuzak [01:27] p_res, whats awn? [01:27] Israfel-Laptop: scriptreplay [01:27] and sit back and wait for a few seconds then when it prompts to install just use regular install [01:27] deckstar, it is at first set to your login password [01:27] demox: avant-window-navigator [01:27] wireless help? broadcom? hp? looks like everyone's helping someone else. [01:27] if ill get something like fluxbox, will it be much faster? [01:27] then watch the loading begin [01:28] kellnola: thanks! [01:28] demox: It will get better with future Ubuntu distributions... [01:28] kellnola, "script" records everything, even command characters. (Backspace etc) I need the output to be readable. [01:28] demox: fluxbox is old. don't got there, [01:28] demox: can be fiddly to setup sometimes. [01:28] kellnola, So if I "cat" it out, BASH uses the backspace and makes it look proper, but the file still has the character. [01:28] I installed something on Unetbootin today, and I was wondering what key combination I had to hit to force 11.04 to access GRUB. [01:28] Is it possible to autoboot into the an account that has an encrypted home drive? last time i tried all sorts of bad things happened [01:29] p_res, whats the alternative? [01:29] Whether it was escape, f8, control c, control D, etc. [01:29] dbruns: there must be something wrong with the way you used fdisk then. You should be able to delete the partition table in the installer and create new partitions [01:29] kellnola, I tried running "cat file.script > file.txt" but it still has the command characters. [01:29] Israfel-Laptop, you from israel? [01:29] demox: e17 is the way to go... [01:29] demox, No. [01:29] gisli: agreed! [01:29] who have patience nd wanna teach me how to write a script? :) [01:29] demox: strip unity naked. [01:29] Israfel-Laptop: cat 'file' ? [01:29] demox, My brother lives there though. [01:29] Israfel-Laptop: iconv ? [01:29] demox: remove the panel and launchers and install awn. [01:29] minimec, how about openbox? thats no good? [01:30] gisli, well it didn't like the win7 partitioning.. it complained that the 2nd partition ended in the middle of a sector, so I had to use fdisk to delete the previous partitioning [01:30] qin, generic file name. I named it 11-0500.script [01:30] alexon what type of script? [01:30] im gonna have to leave he is not coming back by all [01:30] demox: openbox is good...very minimalistic and nice [01:30] p_res, is there any easy way to do that? [01:30] p_res: gisli: is that becaues it will remove all the associated files with it? Does it remove it completely or does it behave similar to the windows registry and merely remove the hash mark or logical hooks to the file itself? I know linux doesnt have registry but I want to understand the underlying process of removing it using the package manager. [01:30] ill be back on probably tomorrow [01:30] kion to activate shift + f9 at start up [01:30] i want my woter effect to start with ubuntu [01:30] water [01:31] demox: yeah, just use synaptic to remove unity and then install awn. [01:31] How to export everything out of thunderbird in ubuntu?? [01:31] do you know how to activate it on a terminal? [01:31] kellnola, Here's a line: drwxr-xr-x 3 israfel israfel 4096 2011-06-08 11:42 [01;34mdcim[0m [01:31] p_res? [01:31] demox: then run awn from a terminal and set it to run at startup. [01:31] maybe another day. thanks! [01:31] brb [01:31] irreverant: what? [01:31] Israfel-Laptop: you could try deleting all non-printing characters by running it through tr -d -c '[:print:]'. Make sure you don't lose the original file in case it doesn't work... [01:31] sorry irc was freaking out [01:31] kion nop i got ubunto this week i know just little [01:31] demox: I used fluxbox for some time, but e17 gives me a lot more. You have a decent pager like in fluxbox and you can configure everything in the settings... everything! But you need some time to understand the menu philosophy of the settings. [01:31] dburns: sorry I'm not familiar with dualbooting winblows and ubuntu at all :( have only had linux for eight years now. Sorry mate [01:32] gisli, i'm not trying to dual boot . .. [01:32] demox: my desktop looks like this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/201107090833381680x1050.jpg [01:32] grr, I got an uncorrupted ISO on Windows but it's too big for my USB drive to transfer... maybe I could send it to Ubuntu over the network? [01:32] alexion what does sift + f9 does? [01:32] gisli, i'm trying to get rid of win7 entirely it was on here to test it out back when it was in beta.. i haven't used this HDD since [01:32] demox: and this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/201107090815161680x1050.jpg [01:32] Loshki, simply deleting the command characters leaves it a mess, I need to have backspaces erase the last character. [01:32] dburns: than just wipe the whole disk with gparted and partition it in the installer [01:32] how to upgrade to natty from the cl? [01:32] Does anyone have any clue when the kernel bug with the overheating will be fixed? [01:32] kion it activates the water effect's rain [01:33] Israfel-Laptop, Oh! That's ANSI color crap form the terminal. [01:33] looks good and simple.. im runnning a n450 1.66 and 1gb ram so i need something simple [01:33] gisli, thats the problem.. the installer partitioning seems broken [01:33] !upgrade | jrmcm [01:33] jrmcm: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:33] and small screen so i need to have that working for me too :/ [01:33] freedts and tsql (command line access to MS SQL Server from Linux), anybody? [01:33] demox: what working? [01:33] ty [01:33] kellnola, There's other command characters too. [01:33] Israfel-Laptop, if you switch the TERM to something simpler, like, VT100 you won't get those [01:33] wow, every Linux distro and every HP printer always seem to install very easiely, I do belive I will stick with HP and their rediclous ink prices [01:33] p_res, the little size of the screen [01:33] Is there any major bugs in Ubuntu Networking I should k]now about [01:33] dbruns: allright...than boot into the live CD and run gparted from there...strange though that the partitiong part is broken [01:34] w30, its not ink.. its unicorn blood [01:34] not shure how to do that with a script [01:34] Wally, something specific? [01:34] kellnola, That's only an example of one. The others are much messier and I didn't want to paste it here. [01:34] so.... I uninstalled Unity, but didnt reinstall gnome before restarting. what do i do now? [01:34] demox: awn is fine for that because you can set it to hide behind windows etc. [01:34] dbruns: than you start the installer from inside the live CD [01:34] dbruns: i have some experience dual booting what are you asking about? [01:34] Does anyone have any clue when the kernel bug with the overheating will be fixed? [01:34] but would look for an option within the compiz manager [01:34] kellnola, ]0;israfel@israfel-horn: ~/Forensic/11-0500israfel@israfel-horn:~/Forensic/11-0500$ md5sum 11-0500.img 11-0500.img.md5[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K[K>11[K[K 11-0500.img [K.md5 [01:34] gisli, well i am booted to the live CD and i've been using fdisk (i'm old school). i'll try gparted [01:34] Well mainly just VNC protocol, I had a lot of troubles connecting..

What are you doing? [01:35] irreverant: sorry it took a while to answer but by using tools like synaptic the system removes only the packages it can remove so the system doesn't break. It makes sure there are no dependencies. [01:35] alpha: nice. === rcmaehl is now known as creeper [01:35] ubuntu-netbook - should i install this package? [01:36] demox: no. [01:36] gisli: that [01:36] demox: that's old and deprecated. [01:36] is there a keyboard shortcut to bring up terminal? I have no interface at the moment [01:36] gisli: that's the answer I was wondering about, thanks for answering. [01:36] irreverant, installing ubuntu 11.04 fresh on a HDD that used to have Win7.. i want to get rid of it entirely.. at first the installer didn't like the fact that the 2nd partition for win7 did not end at the end of a sector, so it ignored the /dev/sda I used fdisk to remove all partitions and the installer still didn't like /dev/sda now i'm trying gparted . . . [01:36] p_res, any tweaks or packages or such for netbooks? [01:36] Crimson22, ctrl alt t [01:36] alexlon I would google reading input from stdin or sending keystrokes with a script [01:36] bazhang, perfect, thanks [01:37] are you using fdisk off the ubuntu startup cd? [01:37] and then when you get the script just put it on /etc/init.d [01:37] or fdsk? [01:37] dbruns: hehe I too consider myself "oldschool" but fdisk is just something you don't really need except you're using ssd's and want that extra 0.01% power [01:37] I haven't used ubuntu desktop for years and this new version is very different . . . is there an easy way to take a screenshot of what I"m seeing to upload somewhere so you guys can see what i'm talking about? [01:37] demox: nope. just set awn to hide behind open windows. [01:37] kellnola, That line is supposed to print the MD5 sum, but it's garbage text in the script file. But if I cat it out, it's fine. [01:37] kion i did but i dont understand :/ so i need a human who can tell me step by step :) [01:37] gisli, well I prefer cfdisk but it really didn't like the win7 partitioning so i had to use fdisk . . [01:37] dbruns: http://imagebin.org/ [01:37] Does anyone have any clue when the kernel bug with the overheating will be fixed? [01:37] alexlon let me do a quick research to see if i can be of any help [01:37] irreverant: happy to help [01:38] daanish, bug link please [01:38] kion ok [01:38] minimec, but how do I take a sshot in this new ubuntu UI? printscreen doesn't seem to do anything [01:38] bazhang - [01:38] !sdrawkcab gnipyt m'I nosaer emos roF ,mU [01:38] ParadigmUltra: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:39] bazhang - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131 (sry abt previous try) [01:39] dbruns: im in the same boat! Ive found after using windows now for a while that returning to linux has been a large learning curve, ive read the ubuntu handbook several times now including the unix bible and im still having some issues with simple core concepts and i feel retarded. [01:39] Ubuntu bug 760131 in linux (Ubuntu Oneiric) "Power consumption raised significantly in natty" [High,Triaged] [01:39] ParadigmUltra: Not funny. [01:39] dbruns: gnome-screenshot or something 'take screenshot' in unity dash [01:39] Israfel-Laptop: try some of the stuff here: http://superuser.com/questions/99128/removing-the-escape-characters-from-gnu-screens-screenlog-n [01:39] no, i'm serious! [01:39] oh it stopped :-0 [01:39] that was wierd [01:39] dbruns: just printscreen and post it on postbin or pastebin [01:39] dbruns: without having tried the new crappy ubuntu UI I think you push the super button (winblows button) and type screenshot in the search box [01:39] dbruns: then you use the built in scrsht application [01:40] http://imagebin.org/162224 [01:40] see how there is nothing int he big box and the buttons for partitioning are greyed out... [01:40] Loshki, Problem is, I need the command character actions to be used on the text. Otherwise it's still a mess.. I can easily cut out the commands themselves, but they're needed. [01:40] dbruns: are you using windows right now? if you are you just hit the prntscrn button that will capture it and then in the run box type mspaint and ctrl c it to mspaint, that will copy the captures creen to it. [01:40] Anyways, I need a help with my unity/compiz desktop. for some reason I keep losing the focus of every app and I can't click on anything until I press TAB several times, or rotate to another desktop and then back again. [01:41] irreverant, no i'm not using windows i'm booted to the ubuntu liveCD [01:41] Is there a way to directly capture the text output of the command line? piping into a text file doesn't seem to work. [01:41] I DO NOT USE WINDOWS I'm simply using a HDD that used to have win7 on it . . . i hate windows SCREW WINDOWS [01:41] dbruns: should be something like /dev/sda1 sda is the whole harddisk. Partitions are numbered [01:41] dbruns, lose the caps [01:41] dbruns: THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!! [01:42] minimec: that's the spirit! [01:42] lol [01:42] Israfel-Laptop: have you tried "command > output file? [01:42] dbruns: your using unity. I havent really played with it. [01:42] bazhang, caps are good for yelling... i was yelling.. it was appropriate [01:42] [command] > outputFile ? [01:43] my bluetooth adapter not descovered please help me [01:43] lol, Yeah! Windows sucks! Stick it to the man! [01:43] ParadigmUltra, omg, yes yes I have... [01:43] i just installed 11.04 and i'd like to disable some of the effects [01:43] ParadigmUltra: He just said: piping seems to not... [01:43] minimec, i know how HDD partitioning works.. the HDD is partitioned to 1 primary ext4 bootable linux partition... the installer apparently doesn't agree . . . [01:43] dbruns: I'm sorry but I'm just not familiar with the new installer. But if I were you I would close the installer and open gparted and partition sda again [01:43] Israfel-Laptop - is this sameer?? [01:43] ... from unity. but i don't see a way to modify the damned thing [01:43] daanish, No, this is Jeff. [01:43] I know, but I always think of | when they say pipe [01:43] gisli, yeah.. thats what I"m doing.. if this doesn't work I guess i give up :( [01:43] Israfel-Laptop: What command? [01:43] Israfel-Laptop, oops. [01:43] my bluetooth adapter not descovered please help me [01:44] Israfel-Laptop: also, try: command > file 2>&1 [01:44] dbruns: never give up :) It's soooo worth it! [01:44] midhuno: try lsusb [01:44] ParadigmUltra, qin: | is piping. > and < and friends are shell redirection. Different things. [01:44] qin, "script" to record. "cat" to output, "cat file.script > file.txt" doesn't work. [01:44] yeah, I know [01:44] The whole goal was to see what this Unity interface was all about.. i use OS X mostly (being a web developer I need photoshop and I just don't like the VM options in linux for photoshop) gotta have some 'nix based OS though.. i despise windows [01:45] Israfel-Laptop: scriptreplay -- does it work properly [01:45] dbruns: What kind of software are you running. I don't recognize the interface. Dumb question. Are you running that interface with sudo rights. I step into conversation. I may have missed something before. [01:45] Loshki, Nope, double piping didn't work. [01:46] dbruns: IMHO the unity thing is horrible. And that's why I'm switching to debian at the weekend [01:46] mimico, i booted to the new 11.04 liveCD [01:46] p_res Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [01:46] Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [01:46] Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) [01:46] Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [01:46] Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [01:46] midhuno: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:46] Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [01:46] qin, I need it output to a text. [01:46] I have nautilus-share installed but can't figure out how to use it... [01:47] Israfel-Laptop: next try: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2318/fix-a-typescript-file-created-by-the-script-program-to-remove-control-characters [01:47] qin, That's to run the recorded script in terminal. I want the text output. [01:47] Anyone know why sometimes my mouse can't click on anything on a particular virtual desktop until change workspaces or hit TAB several times? [01:47] When the machine boots from a USB drive it issues this message ("/" separates lines): "Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot"/"vesamenu.c32 not a COM32R image"/boot: [01:47] gisli, :-) well i just built a new computer out of spare parts laying around last night for my home gym for fitness tracking.. i wanted to put some distro of linux on and since I use ubuntu server for my web servers, i figured I'd go that route.. the only distro i've used for serious desktop use was gentoo back in the day when I contributed to the gentoo project.. I figured ubuntu being as popular as it is would have the best default s [01:47] upport for this random hardware combo I threw together [01:47] how can i get the old style System/Administration/etc taskbar to show up. It was there when I first installed ubuntu, but after I updated graphics drivers it disapeared and got replaced by taskbar on the left with the massive icons [01:48] Loshki, Give me a second to try that one, for some reason that text is actually an image file... Those assholes. [01:48] Crimson22_, choose classic at the login window [01:48] Oddly, the ubuntu installer program doesn't show up in my "alt-tab" menu in this Unity UI [01:48] dbruns: one question...is your hard drive PATA(IDE) or SATA? [01:48] gisli, sata [01:49] how so i upload a theme i customized? [01:49] Israfel-Laptop: I was able to cut&paste the line as text using firefox... [01:49] okay dbruns [01:49] Crimson22_: relog and chose "classic". Also once you get used to the unity tool bar, it's really easy. [01:49] don't most ata drives end up as /dev/hdx [01:49] dbruns: have you gotten anywhere with the gparted partitioning scheme? [01:49] Israfel-Laptop: cat typescript | perl -pe 's/\e([^\[\]]|\[.*?[a-zA-Z]|\].*?\a)//g' | col -b > typescript-processed [01:49] gisli, nope :( just tried installer again and no luck.. [01:49] bazhang, cheers [01:50] Crimson22_: In the Unity app window on the upper right you can chose the System category to see all those apps too [01:50] dbruns: hmmmm now that's a puzzler! You sure your HDD is working fine? [01:50] http://pastebin.com/9bweBysr [01:50] ParadigmUltra, oh neat, thanks [01:51] can ubuntu's new interface be modified? [01:51] gisli, it worked fine when I turned the computer on .. it booted to win7 (surprisingly.. i didn't know if there was an OS on this HDD or not) and everything worked just fine last night as I used it for basic web browsing [01:51] Sweet, looks like it worked. Thanks. I've been searching on google and bing for a few hours. Is there any better way to record terminal input/output than using "script"? [01:51] Loshki, thanks [01:51] Israfel, transcript [01:52] bjorkintosh, not much. choose classic if you want the old gnome (at login window) [01:52] I have a few other HDDs laying around so I can try a different one. but this one is a decent 250GB seagate drive that never got much use I think its the only unused sata drive I have [01:52] Upgraded to 11, and there are few things acting funny (Like kterminal crashing the machine when I attempt to maximize it). Want to go back to 10.10. I have a RAID array setup, should I do anything special? Planning on wiping the system drive and installing from fresh. [01:53] classic? okay. [01:53] bjorkintosh, I'm only seeing transcriber in the repositories. [01:53] dbruns: than the HDD is not the problem it seems. I have to admit that I'm absolutely stumped. Hopefully some brainiac will be able to help you ;) [01:53] 11, when did 11 come out?? crap I just got 10 last weekend! [01:53] Israfel, you don't like script? [01:53] gisli, long ago, i used to be the brainiac helping people here :p [01:53] ParadigmUltra, 4th month, this year 2011 [01:53] gisli: what's your problem /question? [01:53] I feel like I'm in the best buy comercial. My daughter is going to say "You downloaded the wrong one silly head" [01:53] does turning on extra effects speed up apps [01:53] ParadigmUltra, 11.04 [01:54] gisli, mostly in #php and #linux but #ubuntu sometimes also ;-) [01:54] mrdeb, no [01:54] DrDamnit, he was trying to help me troubleshoot my issue.. i'm trying to install 11.04 (i'm booted to the live CD) but it doesn't seem to like my SATA drive [01:54] dbruns: hehe things change :D but I'm off to bed...work in 3 hours. DrDamnit: actually dbruns needs your help so I'll let him tell ou his problems [01:54] why not [01:55] Maybe I'm just confused. Isn't there a "version" command or something to confirm my version? [01:55] dbruns: join the club with 11.04 issues. I got mine to install, but it was via an upgrade. It has a whole bunch of driver issues. Gnome crashes entirely, but KDE still works. ergo... I am reverting. [01:55] !version | ParadigmUltra [01:55] ParadigmUltra: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [01:55] whats the syntax to install the newest version of flash? apt-get install flash ? [01:56] thanks! I have 11.4. I'm just losing my mind, ignore me [01:56] dbruns: not the help I think you wanted. Give me more details about your issue? make / model SATA drivers, etc... [01:56] Any of you try out Thunderbird Conversations 2.0? Fantastic. Really gives Tbird a google-ized facelift [01:56] !ot | OogyPoogy [01:56] OogyPoogy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:57] bluetooth not working anybody helpme [01:57] !details | midhuno [01:57] midhuno: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:57] midhuno: What have you tried sofar? [01:57] midhuno: Have you tried blueman? [01:58] DrDamnit, I think i'm just going to install an older version or a different distro... This is a computer I tossed together with spare parts last night for my home gym in the garage.. just need something with a web browser to watch videos and enter in statistics as I work out [01:58] DrDamnit, I'm pretty confident in my ability to troubleshoot issues and I think this might just be either A) a bug with the installer that I don't want to tackle, or B) a hardware issue that I also don't want to tackle [01:59] i am using ubuntu 11.04 my computer says that the bluetooth is disabled i can't able to enable it [01:59] Alexlon are you still here? [01:59] dbruns: I agree with you. I'm no noob (although I learn something new every time I come in here). I am reverting to 10.10. (Downloading via torrent as I type this). [01:59] I've had a few people here confirm my troubleshooting methods were good, so I think I'm just going to cut this one loose [02:00] well I am not a heavy linux desktop user anymore, but I'm a linux server admin and web developer and I've been doing it for 11 years, so I know my way around 'nix [02:00] its possible set a custom resolution for screen in ubuntu 10.04? my laptop screen has a resolution of 1366x768, and have't this option in graphical tool [02:00] anybody help me please [02:00] nT4BR: it's a function of your graphics card and if the driver supports it. nVidia, for instance, has a utility for that. [02:00] midhuno: Is it a laptop? [02:01] midhuno, you have not answered our questions [02:01] midhuno: have you tried blueman? [02:01] not saying I know everything, but since no one has suggested an easy solution and I've had multiple people verify my hunches, its just not worth anyone's time at this point. it could easily be a bad HDD .. i haven't used it for a year... or issue with 11.04 (which there seem to be many) [02:01] i am using ubuntu 11.04 my computer says that the bluetooth is disabled i can't able to enable it [02:01] midhuno, just repeating help me will get no help [02:01] gnight all.. [02:01] hey guys simple question, I just installed deja dup on my desktop and i have scheduled it to perform a backup to a home file server every week. Now does deja dup only backup files that have changed since the last backup or will deja dup backup everything each time? [02:01] dbruns: like I said a minute ago. I think you're right. [02:01] So i guess this chatrom is all about wow ? [02:01] Eriksen, no [02:01] its apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [02:01] ya it is a net book [02:01] i tried blue man [02:01] oh [02:02] dbruns: I am thinking about your problem. Can you mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt? If yes, we could at least verify, that the loaded system can work with that partition. Then you could even try to 'cp' something. [02:02] Eriksen, ubuntu support only [02:02] midhuno: which netbook. [02:02] DrDamnit, i'am running ubuntu in a virtual box instance, and i have installed the additional package for support some drivers, i a first moment, works fine but after reinitialization, i have this problem :/ [02:02] hcl ME netbook [02:02] after reboot* [02:02] kion? [02:02] yes [02:03] midhuno: Some computers like my HP, have a switch to turn on/off bluetooth and wireless network. Look for a switch or something on the side of the netbook [02:03] nT4BR: I am not familiar with virtual box (I use VMWare for servers and MS Virtual PC for desktops), but the logic should still hold true. [02:03] did u find something? [02:03] DrDamnit, i will try MS Virtual =] [02:03] nT4BR: It is a driver issue either way. VirtualBox's virtual driver may be conking out o you. [02:04] maybe this is a problem in virtual box DrDamnit [02:04] i tried all but no use my netbook have same switch for bluetooth and wifi wifi is working nicely [02:04] nT4BR: M$? BLASPHEMY.... I am surprised the ubottu didn't boot us for typing that. [02:05] Midhuno: there are so many netbooks out there, they are like fly by night computers, there is a new one everyday. There may just not be any drivers for your particular device. But I hope that isn't the case. [02:05] nT4BR: video and virtual machines don't mesh well in my experience. You can get them working pretty good, but when there are issues, you just have to reboot. Got Quake running in a Windows instance on Virtual box on ubuntu once, but it wassn't easy. [02:05] nit-wit: You still around? [02:05] midhuno: Do lspci (or the relevant command) and see if it tells you what chipset / manufacturer made the bluetooth. [02:06] when i used the command sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart it work for 1 time....when i disabled bluetooth and then enabled again it will not [02:06] DrDamnit, thnx, i'll make anything for this later because i need code :] [02:06] midhuno: You should run a google search on your netbook model and bluetooth in ubuntu, and see what comes up === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [02:07] midhuno: Well that's interesting that it worked once. That means it can work again. hmmm.. you've tried rebooting? [02:08] Midhuno: are you duel booting? [02:08] no onnly using ubuntu [02:09] Anyone experienced with partioning, mind giving me a hand? [02:10] midhuno: ok, cause I was thinking maybe there is a problem with ubunto enabling it in the BIOS after it's been disabled. If that's the case, disabling/re-enabling it in another OS might get it working again, or maybe checking for a setting in the BIOS directly [02:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/640512/ [02:11] Hello [02:11] . [02:12] I am just about reformat by butting for CD and I figured I would join. [02:12] Drdamnit http://paste.ubuntu.com/640512/ [02:12] midhuno: Do you still have the bluetooth icon in the notification area? [02:12] yes [02:12] On my last attempt I was getting I/O errors, so I created a new CD and joined this channel just incase it happened again. [02:12] but it is disabled [02:13] midhuno: and it won't let you enable it again? then I would try checking the BIOS [02:14] no...when i click set up device or sent files it says no adapters found.How to check bios?? [02:15] Reighnakj: I had the same issue. I was using windows 7 to burn the CD, and it either failed to complete the burn or it crashed during install wih an I/O error. [02:16] Reighnakj: I had to download a free ISO burning on my xp box and burn a copy from there. The build in windows 7 burner sux [02:17] Really... [02:17] I just started from the disk [02:17] Hello [02:17] and it looks like it is doing something different ParadigmUltra. [02:17] How can you rotate a single monitor in twinview mode? [02:17] Anyone have an idea? [02:17] I am going to give it 10 minutes or so, since I am about to raid in WoW, then I will do what you said, Paradigm. Ty. [02:18] midhuno: When you restart your computer, at the manufacturer's logo screen it will say "Press __ to enter setup" or something like that. that's setup screen it leads you to is the system Basic Input Output System. [02:19] can someone take a look of this screenshot http://imagebin.org/162236 and help me partition my hdd to be 100Gigs vista, 100Gigs linux, and 50Gigs shared space? [02:20] lol [02:21] Can anyone recommend a good web designer for Ubuntu? I'd like to create my own web pages... [02:22] vim [02:22] Sorry Delrayne, my only experience with gparted was trying to recover a partition table from a messed up external hard drive, and it didn't work. But I'm sure someone else here will know or arrive eventually. But if you don't get an answer you might be better googling help with gparted [02:23] tim: if you're looking for a 'what you see is what you get' editor, like the ones that basically let you drag and drop pictures etc, i don't know of any decent open source ones. but if you're actually interest in learning how to do html i'd suggest using bluefish [02:23] Simpler is better but I'll take a look at bluefish. [02:23] tim, there are also online options that are OS independent [02:23] tim: The tutorials for HTML/CSS at w3schools are awesome and it doesn't take long these days to produce your own websits [02:24] what metap0d said [02:24] avoid stuff that won't make you learn, like online options [02:24] what dork said [02:25] ParadigmUltra: I'm sure I can get the size and such like I want, I just don't want to delete somthing cause I think it isn't important and it be something critical. [02:25] ParadigmUltar: (initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [02:25] learning I like - it's why I chose Ubuntu. Time I don't always have... [02:25] should I try getting the ISO off XP PC? [02:26] Reighnakj: when are you getting that message, after doing what? [02:26] tim: i personally think bluefish and w3c tutorials are an excellent approach for you [02:26] tim: HTML is about as basic and easy as it gets ... there aren't really any concepts involved either. It is one of the few things where you could open up a .html file, start changing/moving things and understand what you are doing. [02:27] Question, I added an external HD to fstab. I also see that the volume manager also added the same mount (different name) for the same hd. Any ideas how to make the volume manager stop adding this external hd? [02:27] Just booting from the disk. I litte the screen set there while it is loading with the little red bubbles and "Ubuntu" logo Paradigm. [02:27] After it tries to load for awhile, it when to that. [02:27] exit [02:28] I get errors. [02:28] hello, I have a Digital camera question, how do i use my Slick Digital Video Camera on Ubuntu? [02:28] Reighnakj: Yeah, that sounds about like what I was getting. Yeah I would recommend burning it from anything other than the built in CD burning application. Use roxio or something. [02:28] Final message from the errors, "No init found. Try passing init- bootarg." [02:29] I have been buring it off Windows7 and putting it into my other XP desktop Para. [02:29] Reighnakj: using the built in burner? [02:29] I will get an ISO burner on my XP PC and use that computer to burn it and reformat that way. [02:29] Yes. [02:29] Should I just downlaod a ISO burner onto Win7? [02:30] Thanks. I'll give it a go... [02:30] How do you answer a post here? [02:30] I will. [02:30] Reighnakj: ok, that could be why. Also I recommend using "track at once" method which is usually the default. I set it to "Disk at one" and it didn't work. [02:31] What software did you use that ultimatly made it work? [02:31] hold on a sec, I'll have to pop over to the xp box and look [02:31] Ty. [02:31] :-D [02:31] hi [02:31] someone can help me?

[02:37] Delrayne: free -m [02:37] To be clear about the problem df shows 0 bytes available; I then delete a file shown to be 17MB large; then I run df again and it still shows the partition with 0 bytes available. [02:37] do anyone know how can i solve my audio problem? [02:38] Arutha: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache search file manager [02:38] Arutha: not sure which ones do that but i use Thunar [02:38] anyone able to get an Alps Glidepoint Trackpad to work for scrolling in Natty? === josh__ is now known as joshlets [02:39] I'm back, sorry bout that, I had some input issues === joshlets is now known as joshlegs [02:39] How can I find the version of ATI drivers my graphics card is currently using? [02:39] Is it usual that a rented Vserver is missing /dev/ptmx ? [02:39] sup all [02:39] sup [02:39] Why would one remove the pseudoterminal? [02:39] so im looking to learn a bit of programming [02:39] anybody got any suggestions? [02:40] joshlegs: on what, languages? [02:40] joshlegs: Any particular project in mind? It probably helps to start with a simple, manageable task for yourself. [02:40] The program I used was called Active ISO Burner, by Disk-Image.net [02:40] yeahhh. i learned a little html in high school (10 years ago) [02:40] but thats about all the language i know [02:40] joshlegs: i prefer python for, basically everything, from web framework to systems to large scaled projects [02:40] kinda want to get into actual computer language, but im not really sure [02:41] cool. i hear a LOT of good things about python [02:41] tmh1979 you say its good for web too? [02:41] i mean dork [02:41] Holy molly! I think firefox 5 is stealing my mouse!! [02:41] Learning a programming language is quite different from learning how to write programs. [02:41] joshlegs: I'm a python programmer myself. [02:42] yes, most of google and the larger social networking sites are all python based [02:42] sweet. i'll probably go with python then. [02:42] joshlegs: django is certainly and easy web framework to use. [02:42] django/pylons/grok [02:42] python is the shit. [02:42] joshlegs: Also, "How to Think Like A computer Scientist" is a useful beginner's book that has been "translated" into python and is available for free [02:42] ive got blugriffon, a WYSIWYG web editor .... but thats obviously not good for anything other than actual layout [02:42] !language | dork [02:42] dork: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:42] I keep loosing my ability to click on anything on my desktop although the keyboard shortcuts all work. Then when I close firefox I get all functionality back [02:42] oh really tmh1979, where can i get it? [02:42] also learning python from beginner to novice [02:42] python... indentation as flow control annoys me lol .. Then again, the python I've written was done in nano, so I may be biased by lack of an ide helping me. [02:43] I disabled boot time splash long ago, how do I get splash back? [02:43] Arutha: use vim [02:43] so im still new to linux. what are the basics i should know? [02:43] joshlegs: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkCSpy/ [02:43] I prefer indentation (auto-indentation if you use an IDE), to having to put curly braces around everything, like in Java. [02:45] I actually do both, In java, I always nest statments and use indentation to make it easier to read === zkriesse is now known as zkriesse__ === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ [02:45] Well, yes, of course, but indentation isn't necessary in Java, it's just for readability. [02:47] :( [02:47] Has anyone else had mouse issues in Unity? [02:48] ParadigmUltra: What kind of mouse issues? [02:48] ParadigmUltra: my synaptics works fine but only in natty === vDubG is now known as vDubG__Gone [02:48] maverick it is broken [02:48] this how to think like a computer scientist or whatever seems pretty handy [02:48] dork: You were using unity in maverick? [02:48] rallias: nah [02:49] suddenly I'll be unable to click on anything rallias. Although I can tab to things and hit space bar or enter to select them. But the mouse will just stop clicking at all. [02:49] joshlegs: Glad to hear it. [02:49] ParadigmUltra Erm... [02:49] paradigmultra can you get into mouse settings? [02:49] is it possible to have mplayer playing a video in a tty and have my programs running in another tty or even better would be to be able to use mplayer in a screen session but i know thats not happening [02:50] rallias: I am suspecting that it's Firefox related, because often, if not alway, when closing firefox the issue goes away. [02:50] All: When I finally cleared enough data, I was able to get control of my hard drive back, so I guess my question is relevant. The question (which is not just idle curiosity) remains why linux continues to show "0" bytes available after deleting files that are in the 10s of MBs of size... [02:50] ParadigmUltra Try installing Chromium [02:50] I did. I guess using that for now would be a good solution, and see if it still happens. [02:50] thanks [02:51] yep [02:51] tmh1979: what's showing that? df -h? [02:52] hi there [02:52] chromium (and chrome) are much better anyway !! [02:52] * joshlegs dislikes firefox [02:52] * joshlegs HATES internet explorer [02:52] I'm leaning towards opera these days since firefox has turned into netscape all over again (bloatware) [02:53] Firefox is great [02:53] im using lubuntu and want to change the path to the directory which is shown on my desktop [02:53] i hate mosaic [02:53] * dork shakes a fist in anger [02:53] tmbg i agree [02:53] anyone any idea how to do that? [02:53] hello evryone. I just updated to 10.04 and now my windows dont have any controls/ I cant minimize, maximize, move nor close any window. what can I do??? === nytek is now known as nytek_ [02:53] sorry misterx im learning ubuntu and linux too :S [02:54] misterx: why do you want to do that? [02:54] misterx: you're in a world of pain donny [02:54] if you do that [02:54] kchikmo: gconf-editor if gnome [02:54] misterx: thx [02:54] dork: well, i want to get it back to ~/Desktop since they localized it [02:55] Does anybody run just ubuntu 10.10? Should I update to 11.04? [02:55] nytek_: depends. [02:55] nytek ive got 10.10 [02:55] Everything works great right now. [02:55] nytek_: that's a personal preference [02:55] Question: Ubuntu says the Nvidia driver is activated but not currently in-use. the xorg.conf shows "default device" rather than the Nvidia driver. How do I fix this? [02:55] just upgraded from like 9.something [02:55] nytek_: im fine with 10.10 and wont use 11.04 standard [02:55] I really like this stability. Been a while since I've been in a complete linux env. [02:56] misterx: why not? [02:56] nytek_: dont like unity. its fine for netbooks but useless with 2x23" monitors… [02:56] yea not a fan of unity [02:56] so if i learn python i can make games or whatever in linux right? [02:56] and im too lazy to get some other desktop thingies [02:56] honestly natty was a disappointment [02:56] What's some good resources for getting started with setting up a TAP/TUN [02:56] ? [02:56] yepp. [02:57] misterx: cant you use a different theme? [02:57] I hope the make it optional. [02:57] unity is bad? [02:57] i'm not a fan [02:57] Devil_Pummba: I prefer not to use it also. [02:57] misterx: can u plz repeat the line u gave me? i had to close all open windows and for some reason was not in the clipboard [02:57] devil_pummba its a matter of personal taste really [02:57] i need test ubuntu 11.10 [02:57] kchikmo: gconf-editor [02:57] UABob: I think you run nvidia-settings, and move the config file it generates to /etc or /etc/X11. it gives you some instructions [02:57] kchikmo: maybe play around with it (like: gconfeditor or sth) [02:57] kchikmo: … if you're using gnome [02:57] then you'll have to restart X [02:58] joshlegs this message is for you (test) [02:58] cool. Can I run that from a terminal in unity? Or do I have to exit Unity completely? [02:58] I run a simple clearlooks theme and it screams. I love all the open source free software :D [02:58] rallias: It just did it again!!! I closed other program and it didn't help, then I closed Chromium and I got mouse control back. So maybe it's web realated in general. Some common thing that they are using. [02:58] kchikmo: otherwise, search the net for the biiiig fat discussion if the window control buttons should be left or right [02:58] there you'll get a bunch of tuts how to change that [02:58] …maybe your config is crippled somehow… [02:58] misterx: i guess i am, i havent made any changes to std ubuntu [02:58] dork: so, back to the Desktop-thing [02:59] sure [02:59] in 11.04 they have translated it [02:59] finerrecliner, no use unity...hehehe [02:59] speaking of distro versions .... how i get rid of the 3 old ones ive got on my system? [02:59] anyone install 11.4 on a eee pc? [02:59] enyawix: which one [02:59] so it's not ~/Desktop but ~/Arbeitsfläche (german…) [02:59] eeek [02:59] dork: 900hd [03:00] misterx: oh [03:00] enyawix: running lubuntu11.04 on eee1016P [03:00] unity is good for netbooks and notebooks [03:00] dork: yepp. i just don't know why someone would like to change that [03:00] misterx: just change your locale to english? [03:00] :P [03:00] dork: well, i like my german keyboard-layout [03:00] you know, the z switched with the y and stuff… [03:01] unity is crap for netbooks compared to xubuntu, the netbook spin thing was a joke anyways [03:01] anyone who owns an eeepc uses xubuntu [03:01] misterx: are you dual booting or anything? [03:01] Devil_Pummba: wifi is not working on rtl8187se chip set many reports on google [03:01] nytek_: no [03:01] Hi I am using libvirt 0.8.8 on ubuntu server kernel 2.6.38-8, I used virt-install to create the initial domain, connecting through VNC it shows the CentOS bootcd but after grub its just a white screen and goes nowhere. What can I do? I tried Ubuntu cd also... same thing, i see only parts of the guest OS, then all white. [03:01] nytek_: 10.10 is my desktop, 11.04 is my netbook [03:01] misterx: Linux only is the only way. [03:01] so, about how long does a normal partition resize take? [03:01] nytek_: actually my old laptop runs win7 for gaming :) [03:02] what are the pros / cons to using wubi to install your dual boot setup. Or is it better to manually setup the dual bood via OS install? [03:02] Delrayne: Depends on the size of the hd. But, not too long. [03:02] used it linux-only till i got my netbook [03:02] should i install easy peasy ? [03:02] dork: also, i'd have to do some complete reinstall to switch it [03:02] misterx: Nice, I'm running a mbp with UB 10.10 as my main and only machine. [03:02] redeyyez: pros are it does the work for you, cons are you learn nothing about what you're doin and greater risk of destroying the partition you want to retain [03:02] Speaking of gaming... Does anyone have recent experience with Wine, and whether it's worth trying to mess with for gaming? [03:02] I have windows for 1 game and 1 game only. City of Heroes. Other than that, I don't use it. [03:02] Arutha: pain in the *** [03:02] my kernel cmdline parameters are 'root=/dev/sda1 ro irqpoll pci=routeirq quiet splash', but my screen is blank during booting, before X starts [03:02] redeyyez: Wubi is great, I've had great sucess with it. [03:02] I run the orange box nicely using Wine. [03:03] misterx: beats me man, never ran into that problem because i'm american and barely speak english [03:03] mynotes, dork thanks for the input. [03:03] misterx: what chipset is your wifi? [03:03] misterx: that makes me sad, as that's my quest for the evening. I'd rather be playing games, not banging my head into a wall [03:03] ParadigmUltra, do you run TF2 in ubuntu 11.04? [03:04] yup, but I do have a few issues with it. But it's worth it [03:04] dork: err, what do you mean by "american" and "no english"?! [03:04] enyawix: second… [03:04] Arutha: well, what do you wanna play? [03:04] hello evryone. I just updated to 10.04 and now my windows dont have any controls/ I cant minimize, maximize, move nor close any window. what can I do??? [03:04] k [03:04] how hibernate on ubuntu 10.04? I have problems [03:04] misterx: being facetious, but basically i wouldn't do that because it would probably violate the integrity of the system by changing the paths [03:04] Devil_Pummba: I would update to 10.10. :D [03:05] dork: kay… [03:05] misterx: rift, maybe some fallout... They're listed on wine's list of games, I just haven't played with wine in years. [03:05] tertl3: The sounds cuts out, so I have to go into options and change something, anything, and the sound comes back. Also I can't run it less than my max rez. If I lower the rez it crashes when a level loads. But I can still window it. [03:05] kkkkkkkkkkkkkk [03:05] really [03:05] enyawix: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wirelass LAN Controller (rev 01) [03:05] enyawix: worked ootb actually [03:05] tks [03:05] Arutha: well, give it a try. :) [03:06] sometimes it works :) [03:06] to autologin to my account, I have to remove the password, then the encrypted home drive won't open. Anyone know how to autologin in this case? [03:06] lol [03:06] ParadigmUltra, interesting, I might have to try that [03:06] Hello [03:06] Hey there. Is there a pretty simple tape backup software that is pretty simple to configure? All I would like to do is backup some docs,photos,etc to dds ( yes, I am old school and I like tape) [03:06] can I ask something ? [03:06] deckstar: "don't" [03:06] I'm a nub to linux [03:06] Fordius: only if you don't ask for permission to ask questions ;) [03:06] I was wondering which thing is the OWNER ? [03:06] no you cant ask fordius!! [03:07] Fordius: context? [03:07] grr :P [03:07] the real name part or that other thing ? [03:07] deckstar, I use lxdm/gdm to autologin [03:07] ok just kidding fordius :) [03:07] dli: thanks, i'll look into it [03:07] well I want to install something but than I have to add OWNER into the file [03:07] so not sure what name I need to put in there [03:07] Fordius: what do you want to install o_O [03:07] CCcam [03:07] tertl3: I just wish I could fix the crashing below 1366X768. My laptop doens't have a lot of video memory and it runs smother with lower rez [03:08] it's an autostart script [03:08] ParadigmUltra, intel video? [03:08] so in a few files I need to put OWNER so it logs to the owner or something [03:08] Nvidia [03:08] but I don't know what part is the OWNER :P [03:08] so trying to figure that out :P [03:08] ParadigmUltra, i am dual booting and using Vista to play [03:08] tertl3 I abhorrrrrr vista [03:09] it literally crashes about once a week if i use it regularly (on my laptop) [03:09] tertl3: Yeah you should try it on Wine. Running vista is, well, embarasing. lol [03:09] Okay great. That worked for the driver, Nvidia x config says it's using it, shows info :D Awesome.... [03:09] ParadigmUltra, i dont mind it [03:10] Anyone ? [03:10] hello evryone. I just updated to 10.04 and now my windows dont have any controls/ I cant minimize, maximize, move nor close any window. what can I do??? [03:10] Now...sound....I've got an Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe board (old system, I know) with onboard realtek AC97 audio. Ubuntu 11.04, fresh install. Audio just doesn't work--period. [03:10] Speakers work, volume's up, it's unmuted. [03:10] Just....no audio [03:10] any place to start? [03:10] good question kchikmo. i have no clue buddy :( [03:10] UABob: lspci showing it? [03:10] Anyone ? [03:11] which of the accounts is the OWNER ? [03:11] kchikmo: Sound like you need your window manager to start. Anyone know the command for that? [03:11] the real name or that other ? [03:11] Fordius: explain what you're trying to do so we understand how to approach the problem [03:11] hey whats the quickest way to learn about troubleshooting ubuntu? chill out in here and read all the questions and answers ?? [03:11] Yes. It shows nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller. [03:12] Even as admin, I can't move or edit root files from explorer, how do i change this? === creeper is now known as rcmaehl [03:12] joshlegs: i think its more "solving your own problems" :) [03:12] joshlegs, it really depends on what troubleshooting to want to learn... [03:12] ...and that [03:12] Crimson22: run your file system navigator with sudo [03:12] well i just want to be familiar enough with ubuntu to be able to kind of reason my way around some general problems [03:13] Crimson22: login as root. but why would you change root's files? [03:13] like, what the crap /etc is lol [03:13] joshlegs: google [03:13] :D dork great answer lol [03:13] # chown yourusername /var/keys [03:13] joshlegs: he's right. [03:13] ParadigmUltra: I tried startx but then I get an error saying that its already started, but when i try to show the desktop i get another error stating that "Your window manager does not support the show desktop button, or you are not running a window manager." [03:13] that's what I wanna do [03:13] i do that a bit [03:13] but sometimes i dont know what theyre talking about [03:13] but which of the 2 do I need to add :p [03:13] ill see if i can find an example [03:13] Fordius: the one you log in with [03:14] misterx, want to change what files run at startup (init.d) but can't add anything to folder since it is apparently root [03:14] Well when I login to the desktop [03:14] Crimson22: Go to command line and type "sudo nautilus" [03:14] it tells my real name [03:14] but when I go over my real name [03:14] it tells a different name [03:14] Crimson22: sudo -s [03:14] Fordius: your username [03:14] when I go to Users [03:14] Crimson22: root up and do it [03:14] it shows my real name big [03:14] screw apparmor [03:14] and under it it tells a different thing [03:14] fking pos [03:14] Fordius: open a terminal [03:14] owkey [03:15] open [03:15] Fordius: there should appear your name and the name of your computer [03:15] ParadigmUltra, cheers [03:15] like fordius@machine:$ [03:15] yes [03:15] is that the name I need ? [03:15] the latter is the host. the former is the user [03:15] the user, that's your username, that's the one you need [03:16] always, when working with the system [03:16] that's also owner name right ? [03:16] yes, since it's the user who should own the file [03:16] kchikmo: no no, X is the GUI system not the window manager. The window manager is the program that decorates with windows. That's usually something like metacity or compiz. Can you get to your compiz config? [03:16] owkey :D [03:16] thanks [03:16] now I got another question [03:16] I used an autostart script to install most [03:16] Hello . . . there is a machine that I maintain for a friend and all of the sudden it won't boot properly. During the boot process, when mounting the hard drive, it fails. What is a proper trouble shooting process to resolve this issue? [03:16] Fordius: linux is a multi-user system so any file has to have a connection to some user. therefore the "owner" [03:16] but when I do following step 127.0.0.1:16001 to test if it worked [03:17] I cant seem to be able 2 connect :( [03:17] Technicus, boot livecd, and fsck the root partition [03:17] donde stas [03:17] Fordius: uh. no idea. [03:17] ParadigmUltra: I used Active Burner and put the CD into my other computer and now it is just sitting at the ubuntu logo with the loading dots. [03:17] hmm I guess I have to keep trying that than :P [03:17] how can I make an Static IP ? [03:18] im looking how to remove old kernels, and found this So I can remove all kernels, and headers and sources except 2.6.24-19-generic [03:18] In practice, I like to keep at least one "old" kernel, in case I find that the latest one has broken something that used to work with the older kernel. [03:18] from here: So I can remove all kernels, and headers and sources except 2.6.24-19-generic [03:18] In practice, I like to keep at least one "old" kernel, in case I find that the latest one has broken something that used to work with the older kernel. [03:18] Fordius: 127.0.0.1 is ALWAYS __YOUR__ machine [03:18] sorry, here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/need-to-remove-old-versions-of-ubuntu-kernel-466660/ [03:19] but i dont know what headers and footers are .. [03:20] headers and sources, i mean [03:20] dli: ok I'll try that! [03:20] My ubuntu is not loading when I try to boot from CD. Could anyone help me? [03:20] please? [03:20] whats the error? [03:21] reighnakj do you just run ubuntu from the cd or do you have it installed on your harddrive? [03:21] or are you trying to install it ? [03:21] yeah but thatś why I need :16001 and if i can succesfully contact to that [03:21] it would mean I installed the CCcam server right [03:21] Reighnakj: The dots might be there a while, but I don't think that's a good sign. I was getting that too, it took a LOOOooong time but then eventually went to the next steps. But then it would fail. You should just wait and see what happens. [03:21] but can't seem to get that working :P [03:21] I just used the Dell Recovery System on my Dell desktop [03:21] so how do I create a static IP ? [03:22] and I am trying to boot from a disc. [03:22] boot from a windows disc or ubuntu disc ? [03:22] Fordius, 11.04? [03:22] ubuntu disc jsoh. [03:22] Fordius: you'll probably just need a static local ip so whatever your router is handing out, go to your network manager and change it from dynamic to manual and add an ip [03:22] josh* [03:23] ... idk. i tried updating my ubuntu to 11.04 and it would literally sit on one screen for 24 hours or more and do nothing [03:23] Fordius, "Network connections". [03:23] That is what I am afraid off. [03:23] the videos i record with my new webcam keep skipping when i play them back, i use guvcview [03:23] Have you been able to get around that loading screen? [03:23] reighnakj: Are you getting a black screen? or is it just freezing? [03:23] i had to just update using the update center [03:23] tomorrow i go event about Java languagem, PBJUG(PB Java Users Group) see web site www.pbjug.com.br [03:24] Delrayne: Reighnakj: It's at the loading screen with dots moving across. [03:24] So, that would involve me making a partition through XP, installing ubuntu there, and leaving XP on my HD? [03:24] Paradigm: Delrayne: Yes. [03:24] the videos i record with my new webcam keep skipping when i play them back, i use guvcview [03:24] ParadigmUltra: Reighnakj: I can only help with a black screen, and only then in a small way. Good luck man. [03:25] joshlegs: Previous Question. [03:25] Reighnakj: I believe that it will continue after a while. It shouldn't take 24 hours [03:25] give it 10-20 minutes or so [03:25] righnakj i think i did get past that screen .... but it was a different screen i got hung on [03:25] As long as the dots are still moving it's not hung up [03:26] I have a question that relates to this. [03:26] When I press ESC, what is that? [03:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1800414 <-- full details on my issue, in case anyone in here can help... I'm hoping I can get this fixed before turning in for the night, [03:26] anyone know about webcams? [03:26] idk reighnakj. whats it look like [03:26] It is like pressing ~ in Counter Strike 1.6. [03:26] lol i never played that [03:26] It is almost like a cmd promt type thing that is giving me info.

[03:31] yes, it only provides a few [03:31] eli_: run from terminal & observe errors when it misbehaves [03:31] if i can get one working i'll be great [03:31] nit-wit just started the resize about 5 minutes ago...I have no idea and afraid to test it. [03:31] sure if i knew how to read klingon i could troubleshoot from terminal [03:31] hm. eli_ all i could do is google it and tell you what comes up [03:31] sorry bud [03:31] Delrayne, if it doesn't boot it is an easy fix. Sometimes that recovery has oart of the boot. [03:31] *part [03:31] i did google [03:32] this is my last resort [03:32] what do you use? [03:32] eli_ try looking for a multimedia channel? [03:32] Okay. Nothing I've tried works... [03:32] eli_, record desktop? or what [03:32] Delrayne, you have a vista disc correct. [03:32] nit-wit: sounds good...if it doesn't boot i'm not going to fight it to hard...i'll just wipe it for more ubuntu space [03:32] nit-wit negative [03:32] 11.04, pulse audio, nVidia CK804 AC'97 device. No sound output. The system acts like it's working 100% fine. lspci shows it, sound panel lets me test speakers. [03:33] no, i want to record video of me playing guitar [03:33] Just no audio. Volumes are not the issue. Speakers work (tested with phone) [03:33] eli_ did you try VLC ? [03:33] UABob: Try ALSA [03:33] eli_: if you don't wanna be helped, fine.. we can't guess what error msgs come up there [03:33] eli_, using a webcam? [03:33] ParadigmUltra: is there a way to switch?

It is installed for understanding, and for the few times I need ms word for college papers. [03:33] like always [03:33] ubuntu [03:33] eli_, record using what? [03:33] eli_ search for VLC in software center, that should do it i think [03:34] UABob: In Unity, search for Sound [03:34] bazhang using his webcam [03:34] eli_, please answer my question [03:34] and run the sound app [03:34] guvcview and cheese has each their own problem [03:34] please wait [03:34] i cant type fast [03:34] bazhang, yep, it's with webcam [03:34] eli_, what have you tried, and stop using the enter key after two or three words, its impossible to follow [03:35] nit-wit no way i'll just outright buy W7, Vista, or any other OS like that without it being pre-installed on a shiny new computer. [03:35] bazhang, i sincerly apologize, may you please forgive me? [03:35] well, I could not get VNC working with libvirt .. but for some strange reason I was able to add a 3rd party repo, install qemu-kvm-spice and get qxl working [03:35] eli_, what is your specific webcam make and model. [03:35] Delrayne... too bad the shiny new computers don't come cheaper without any OS =\ [03:35] eli_ try this site .. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ or search VLC in software center .. maybe it will work ... other than that answer bazhang's question ;) [03:35] its a knock off, but it works very well [03:35] Hmm I don't see an option there now. I though I knew, guess I don't [03:36] i can show you where i bought it and the amazon page [03:36] Anyone know how to switch from pulse audio to ALSA? [03:36] eli_, lsusb t o paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url [03:36] joshlegs: since when does VLC record? to my knowledge it's a player [03:36] ParadigmUltra, look under Sound in Unity [03:36] Hello All, I'm new to this chat, is it a general question asking sort of spot? [03:36] nit-wit about how long does it take 222.78GiB to resize down to 123.63 GiB? [03:36] ParadigmUltra, when I tried I was advised to compile the kernel [03:36] shawny_, ubuntu support [03:36] the description says "read, capture, broadcast your multimedia streams" szal [03:36] I never did get done [03:36] i have installed vlc [03:37] ParadigmUltra: I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem to let me choose ALSA over Pulse searching for sound? [03:37] eli_, we need that pastebin [03:37] how do i start recording? [03:37] Jesdisciple: Haha, thats what I said about looking for sound in unity, but I can't see the option [03:37] one sec bazhang [03:37] !enter | eli_ [03:37] eli_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[03:49] Or just boot from CD again, after my restart after part of the boot from disk? [03:49] well i was thinking it might have been a cd driver issue, but if you can use it in windows i dont think it is [03:49] thanks joshlegs [03:49] No, no, no. [03:49] I didn't explain myself. [03:49] I pressed alt+f4, which opens another consle [03:50] !prefix | staykov [03:50] staykov: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[03:52] may you give me the inputs to do that task? [03:52] szal [03:52] eli_: 'cheese' should do [03:52] I am actually just going to let it run now without touching anything.

[03:52] np reighnakj .... im trying to remember if my pc got hung up somewhere like that ... i dont know that it did [03:52] sorry [03:52] eli_: if you are trying to get cheese working, you can try running gstreamer-properties [03:53] to test [03:53] joshlegs, "alt + f4" works in the way Reighnakj told if you're already in the concole. In the grapical user interface it just closes the acive program. ;-) Try "ctrl + alt + f4" instead. [03:53] ok, give me a sec, i just would like a working program, but i have to reinstall [03:53] Did it just take awhile to get past the page where it was "loading"? [03:53] joshlegs.

[04:11] zellys I meant the update manger terminal, software center,synaptic [04:11] joshlegs: I just logged onto my freshly reformated windows xp desktop. [04:11] I found Cheese, now my cam is working, I'm testing Skype now [04:11] reighnakj, it shouldnt be too difficult. it should have directions ... [04:12] sorry manager was the end of the sentence [04:12] !find libv4l [04:12] Found: libv4l-0, libv4l-dev [04:12] dengx: I made a syntax error. Please do: 1. 'cd /usr/local/src/' -- 2. '@:/usr/local/src$ sudo apt-get source bash'. [04:12] Ah...I go into System Administration/Update Manager in the Gnome desktop. Doesnt give me any version info on it.

Version 0.8.3-1 (natty), package size 87 kB, installed size 352 kB [04:12] no, you missed the paste amy_ [04:12] joshlegs: Found it. Didn't see the "Windows Installer" tab in the downloads section. [04:12] Ty. [04:12] amy_ try pasting this in there gconftool –-recursive-unset /apps/panel just copy/paste it, hit enter and tell me what it does [04:12] I have used both Software Center and Synaptic depending on what Im doing. [04:13] substantially different version; one should think that any error has been sorted out in the meantime [04:13] ok reighnakj ... hopefully that works man .... best of luck [04:13] *any such [04:13] I am pretty new at linux so its mostly been basic things. [04:13] what can be the reason that I can't connect to 127.0.0.1:16001 ? [04:13] zellys ok have you tried doing it manually though the terminal? [04:13] amy_ tell me what happens after you paste this into terminal gconftool –-recursive-unset /apps/panel [04:14] joshlegs, pasted, no error, no change. [04:14] ok .... now try pasting this ..... rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel [04:14] let me know once you ve done that amy_ [04:14] Fordius: Porbably /var/log/dmesg will tell you. [04:14] #quit [04:14] No...Im not familiar enough with the linux commands really. Kinda why Im here. [04:15] forceflow, maybe you don't have a service running on port 16001? [04:15] joshlegs I also have been doing a bit of investigative poking, and with r-click on desktop, applications -> settings -> XFCE manager, there's an icon for panel, but clicking it brings up no panel, nor a configuration menu/display. [04:15] zellys ok try typing this. sudo apt-get update [04:15] Fordius, maybe you don't have a service running on port 16001? [04:15] forceflow, apologies [04:15] joshlegs, I did try the paste though,it appeared to do nothing. [04:16] ok one more then amy_ then the chain of commands should be done [04:16] Same error messages...its like the directory that the update is expecting to find are not there. [04:16] Zellys: open Software Center and click on Edit menu bar then select Software Sources... [04:16] now paste this into terminal amy_ pkill gnome-panel [04:16] joshlegs, pkill gnome-panel executed. [04:17] did the panels come back amy_ ? ... [04:17] no [04:17] derp. :( ok let me try something else [04:17] "Failed to download repository information" window popped up [04:17] Gnome stuff still interfering w/ XFCE? that was a showstopper for me 6 years ago w/ XFCE 4.0 [04:18] dengx: I do not know what you should do. You should know yourself what you are wanting to do with this source code. [04:18] Same messages as update manager issue and with the apt-get command in the terminal [04:18] Zellys: can I help you? [04:18] bullgard access is denied [04:18] Devilsun Iḿ running a server ( installed by autostart script ) [04:18] Zellys: for what repository exactly? [04:18] it tells meh to connect to that === derp is now known as derp|gone [04:19] but it doesn't load [04:19] Fordius: what exactly does it tell you? [04:19] joshlegs, figured it out. I just had to run xfce4-panel, though your suggestion of gnome panel put me on the right track! [04:19] Fordius: So probably the address is wrong, the address does not exist. [04:19] Fordius, drop into the command line and try "telnet 127.0.0.1 16001" [04:19] i just tweaked my theme to be, basically white to black, black to white, colors stay. how do i remove the ugly seperator in the gnome panel' [04:20] !pm | Zellys [04:20] Zellys: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:20] lol well glad i could help out a LITTLE amy_ i couldnt remember how to do it when i did it [04:20] Fordius, while you are on the command line do "netstat -tulanp | grep 16001" [04:20] joshlegs, though, I do have to ask. How do I have that run permanently in the background. When I close the term, it kills the command [04:20] as root or ? [04:21] how do i run a script after login ? [04:21] hm. if you can get panels, try adding a new one amy_ ... then see if it stays when you close the terminal ... i think you can right click on a panel and tell it to add a new one [04:21] tried .bash_login [04:21] Zellys, I get 404s for those URLs as well [04:21] Zellys: next time use a pastebin instead of a PM window [04:21] but seems to not be working [04:21] help with kion ppl :( [04:21] !pm | dengx [04:21] dengx: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[04:21] Amy_, nohup command [04:22] Devilsun when I type that in Terminal [04:22] unknown_and_slow, nohup xfce4-panel? [04:22] it doesn't do anything [04:22] Zellys: other than that, what do you need these PPAs for anyway? [04:22] Fordius, what about the netstat command, anything returned? [04:22] Amy_, yes. nohup makes a process to continue after parent shell's death [04:22] szal, all those URLS 404 for me as well. [04:22] dengx: I do not understand your remark: "then recover again". Say it in other words, please. [04:23] :D nice unknown_and_slow i didnt know that :P now i do! [04:23] Trying 127.0.0.1... [04:23] telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [04:23] how do i run a script after login ? -.- [04:23] unknown_and_slow, Just tried that, but after closing the term I entered the command in, the panels disappeared again [04:23] do I first have to make static IP ? [04:23] zellys I read your error message then I click on the link the site doesn't exist. In the software center; software sources is canonical checked [04:24] Fordius, what about the command "netstat -tulanp | 16001" [04:24] (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info [04:24] will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) [04:24] 16001: command not found [04:25] Fordius, copy and paste that command [04:25] is there a way to properly extract UDF isos with a native linux application? === ghost is now known as Guest92075 [04:25] 16001: command not found [04:25] Fordius, sorry "netstat -tulanp | grep 16001" [04:25] Fordius, it's late :) [04:25] mount -o loop works but then i only get like 35 mb out of 7 GB [04:25] without the " I presume ? [04:26] Fordius, what does "netstat -tulanp | grep 16001" return? [04:27] nothing [04:27] when I do as root [04:27] Fordius, then you don't have anything running on that port [04:27] how can I get that port working ? [04:27] i have two os running on my laptop i just recently lost my grub but i got it back my linux part work but when i try to get into my windows os it will not let me how do i fix this [04:27] Fordius, I have no idea what service you are trying to run [04:27] cause the autostart script should have done most to install it [04:28] http://www.cardshare.tv/forum/nl/card-sharing-tutorials/60693-cccam-install-script-voor-een-snelle-installatie-met-ubuntu-onder-1-2-uur.html [04:28] Amy_, i know nothing about panels. nohup makes a process not exit after his parent shell death. [04:28] Fordius, I don't read dutch [04:28] yeah I know :p [04:28] but it doesn say much besides :p [04:28] anyone? help? [04:28] that you have to autostart script it [04:28] linux native way to properly extract udf iso? [04:28] than do an static IP [04:28] Guest92075 sudo apt-get install grub [04:28] than do 127.0.0.1:16001 [04:28] could it be that I haven done static IP first [04:28] that itś not working ? [04:29] I put a cd in my optical drive and linux is not brining up the window for the drive and I cannot find the drive - any advice? [04:29] Fordius, no [04:29] Fordius, nothing listens on port 16001 [04:29] brb peeps. restarting [04:29] i tried dat put my windows part still will not work [04:29] Fordius, nothing to do with a static IP. Believe me, 127.0.0.1 is as static as it gets [04:29] i tried that but my windows part still will not work [04:29] hmm [04:29] Fordius, whatever script ytou are running is not starting a service on that port [04:29] guest92075 if grub can't find it you may of over wrote windows [04:30] but with an autostart script it should do it right :p [04:30] stupid thing [04:30] like 100 people said it works :( [04:30] only I get screwed over lol [04:30] Fordius, I don't know what to tell you [04:30] Fordius, to have something listen on some port, you need no static IP. localhost AKA 127.0.0.1 is enough [04:30] it shows up in the grub but when i click the windows os to start it give me a message [04:30] owkey :P [04:30] guess Iḿ doing something wrong prolly :p [04:31] anyways another question [04:31] I I put a cd in my optical drive and linux is not brining up the window for the drive and I cannot find the drive - any advice? [04:31] guest92075 what the message [04:31] the autostart script that I had installed [04:31] how can I delete it ? [04:31] Fordius: what distro are you on? [04:31] or undo it ? [04:31] Ubuntu Server 10.04 [04:31] Fordius, how did you run the "autostart script"? [04:31] Fordius, was this a script you downloaded? [04:31] /tmp/UbuntuInstall.sh [04:31] it says === josh__ is now known as joshlegs [04:32] ok back [04:32] ok, how about this, commands to mount an optical drive [04:32] windows could not start because of a disk hardware config problem [04:32] Devilsun [04:32] yeah [04:33] I first did chmod 755 /tmp/UbuntuInstall.sh [04:33] than did /tmp/UbuntuInstall.sh [04:33] it installed a bunch of things what I need ( and I had checked that with manual install it was the same stuff ) [04:33] Fordius, I'd ask on the cccamforum if I was you [04:33] What program uses the environment variable XKBOPTIONS in /etc/default/keyboard? [04:33] Fordius, since that seems like what you are trying to get going [04:34] Fordius: btw, that forum post is almost illegible [04:34] szal, Fordius here's a better one http://www.cccamforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41856 [04:35] although, that page makes my eyes bleed [04:35] btw 1 more thing [04:35] when I do sudo -i [04:35] it should ask for my password right ? [04:35] but it isn't now [04:35] it just goes to root [04:35] guest92075 I found this it may help http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-918119.html [04:35] yeah, because you are root [04:35] Hello. I have finished a minimal install of Ubuntu, and I was wondering what applications ubuntu uses to autodetect hardware and then make recommendations as to what should be installed? I'd like to install this application. [04:35] DevilSun, it shouldn't ask for your password [04:36] hmm you sure ? [04:36] cause I first go from my username [04:36] than put sudo -i [04:36] Fordius, yes. Because then you aren't root [04:36] than it becomes root@compname [04:36] ok ill check it out [04:37] Does anyone know what application it is that Ubuntu uses to recommend hardware drivers? [04:38] I've just finished a barebones installation, but would be interested in getting myself that app..

[06:44] crackerjackz: yes you can make it larger if you wish [06:45] gogeta1: thanks :] [06:46] Anyone know of a software that I can download/install for the purpose of "counting". A utility, something like a calculator, except it's just for convenience sake (It saves from having to use a notepad of some sort). [06:47] Like counting pennies [06:47] ok [06:47] auk: a calculator [06:47] It has that feature? [06:47] so what should i do if my video card is crashing? [06:47] get a new card? [06:47] I do not mean in "text digital number addition/subtraction". [06:47] which ones would be compatible with 11.04? [06:48] like a GUI where you can set up as many counters as you need. (counting "chips") [06:48] eag1207: no you may have to install the driver from bash to get everything running [06:48] eag1207: is it the live installer cd failing? [06:48] i dont think so [06:48] i made a new one [06:48] from a new iso [06:48] same result [06:49] eag1207: so as in it crashing lol [06:49] yeahh [06:49] auk: what are you trying to count [06:49] eag1207: ok it is you might have to use the alt text instalkler then installer your driver for your card from bash [06:49] how do i do that? [06:49] eag1207: can you still drop to bash when the cd glicthes? [06:49] is here in freenode a channel also about IT but for windows? [06:49] no [06:49] eag1207: ctrl alt 1 [06:50] ctrl alt f1 [06:50] Nainodecam: ##windows [06:50] auk: try something like sudo apt-cache search calculator *not sure if that's the right command or not haven't used ubuntu in a while* [06:50] crackerjackz, a good example of this is like an online card game, and it's not easy to keep track of "counting chips on a card". So you could instead use a GUI tool to keep track. [06:50] let's see [06:50] i have to put my card back in [06:50] one minute [06:51] auk: try something like sudo apt-cache search count and see what packages it finds [06:51] eag1207: its ok if you cant you can still drop to rescuse cli mode then get the driver and install it via bash [06:51] And I mean for like "multiple counters to manage". All in the same window. So far, I'm usign a text editor to keep track whhich isn't easy. [06:51] eag1207: eyther way you will need the alt cd [06:52] Boo! [06:52] eag1207: from the live cd have you treyd safe mode [06:52] eag1207: it normaly doesent try to load the card and just uses a frameguffer [06:52] famebuffer [06:52] auk: put abacus in your look up [06:53] sounds like u need somthing to act sort of like that [06:55] Alrighties, thanks.

[07:30] i'm trying to get wireless working under ubuntu. I think it will suffice to install one package 'bcmwl-kernel-source' (name not relevant). The only way of communicating with the internet for me however, is a web browser capable of downloading files to a usb stick. How should I do for perform the equivalent of 'apt-get install bcmwl-kernell-source' with this restriction? [07:33] crackerjackz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [07:33] that should be a good starting point [07:33] logvelc, if during installation you tick both boxes to get updates and install 3rd party codecs during install, it installs and enables the bcmwl driver there and then.

[08:29] entel_, the odd thing is i didn't make any changes the webcam was working great.. i rebooted and it just didn't work any more.. and the only reason i rebooted was because skype crashed and it wouldn't close.. it wouldnt even take the killall command [08:29] how can i convert an .mkv to a .mpeg4 WinFF doesn't work [08:30] is there no t any solution? what if I want to remove gnome 3 and reinstall unity 2D [08:30] crackerjackz: you might try googling for your webcam model + ubuntu [08:30] hello?

[08:33] francis_kyle, whats the ubuntu issue [08:33] nawras_, thats not supported. [08:34] well [08:34] !gnome3 | nawras_ [08:34] nawras_: 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. [08:34] is it normal that the Ubuntu is taking too long to install [08:34] nawras_, best bet is to reinstall [08:34] Okay, I should clarify; I had the WMP300N working under the full Gnome environment, but XBMClive relies on the Server install. Is there any way around ndisgtk? [08:34] orethrius, whats the chipset [08:35] bazhang: I feel I should also mention that the system has no LAN conn (14e4:4329, incidentally) [08:35] bazhang: Gotta love Broadcom... or not. ;) [08:36] orethrius, thats broadcom? then install the broadcom drivers; [08:36] anyone can tell me why I change the screen resolution and once I reboot it changes back to default one? [08:36] bazhang: b43, b44, and b43legacy don't work. STA doesn't work. ndiswrapper doesn't bring up the card. [08:36] ok now I know its not supported but I dont have any choice I must find something to handle my problems, like adjusting brightness and (internal headphone and the external one are work simultaniously)) [08:36] mlatelcom, change how it how, using which tools, what video card [08:36] nawras_: not supported means no help in this channel [08:37] nawras_, not supported means stop asking here. contact the ppa maintainer [08:37] O GOD [08:37] so I upgraded my kernal to 2.6.39 and wifi broke so I unistalled the new kernal and went back to the natty stock kernal and wifi is still broken. can anyone tell me how to fix that? [08:37] bazhang: If I had a GUI, this would be simple, but it's a stripped down Server install, so I'll probably have to pull packages from kernel.org and ferry them over flash drive... [08:37] ok thanks [08:37] bazhang I explained before at when I entered the room but let me explain it again [08:38] when i am doing ls -lh .ssh/ it is showing me permission denied error [08:38] I just switched to ubuntu today and once installed found that I'm having an issue with my nvidia card settings. [08:38] I applied a new screen resolution (1152x864) and it changed ok.saved it to xorg.conf; [08:38] but once I restarted it changed to an auto resolution( 1024x768). checked xorg.conf and the new resolution is there but it looks like xorg.conf is not read for the system or a hidden file is overwriting the settings... [08:38] bazhang: If I sound frustrated, it's because I am. What's so different about the GUI utils that this would all work in full Ubuntu, but not in a Server install? *rhetorical question* [08:39] mlatelcom, with nvidia-xconfig? with what tool exactly [08:40] bazhang sudo nvidia-settings [08:40] arista transcoder wont covert mkv [08:40] what can i use [08:40] eli_, try handbrake as I suggested [08:40] after installing and launching a dual boot win7 / ubuntu 11.04 install. Both are now bootable. Both have internet Connection. VirtalBox install of Natty 11.04 isn't showing me any of the samba resource availible on the lan. [08:40] Am I correct in assuming that nobody else has had to deal with this issue? If so, I'll keep hacking at it until something gives, record my results and report back... [08:41] bazhang, that isn't in synaptic [08:41] orethrius, a server with wireless? no experience with that sorry. just installing the broadcom drivers should do it === francis_kyle_ is now known as francis_kyle [08:42] eli_ you have to go to the website in order to download and install it [08:42] bazhang: Yeah, I know, it's unusual... but the problem is that it's meant to be a wireless HTPC, so it has no LAN conn. Also, that's unlikely to change; let's just say the landlord did some stupid, stupid things to the CAT5 here. [08:43] bazhang: Actually, I shouldn't blame her for what the hired help did, lol [08:43] eli_ I've used it before and it works good bazhang's recommendation is right [08:43] orethrius, it is indeed hard to install the wireless drivers with no internet connection at all [08:44] bazhang: I thought I had it, but I obviously missed something in either the ndiswrapper or b43-fwcutter stages, and it's come back to bite me. [08:44] bazhang: That's an either/or proposition, btw; I tried both avenues. [08:44] eli_ https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases [08:44] how to add ppa to software sources [08:44] entel_, i believe i found a solution but i don't exactly understand how to do it... it involves the use of some sort of script can you show me how to use it? [08:45] entel_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479638 [08:45] eli_, the instructions are right on the page. please read them [08:45] i got it from somewhere [08:45] Hi, I still have problem with mounting usb flashes on my notebook with ubuntu 11.04. After reinstalling the sys everything worked fine till the same evening when I couldn't mount usbs anymore so I just closed the lid (suspension) and the next day (yesterday) I could mount devs agin, till last night when it just stopped mounting again and it still doesn't. I really don't know what to do, I reported it as bug but no answer.. [08:45] bazhang: I guess I'm just wondering what ndisgtk and network-manager do that's so special that it can't be replicated from CLI. [08:45] didn't see that [08:45] crackerjackz: normally you'd copy the script into a file and do: sh filenamehere [08:45] if u trust it [08:46] eli_, the part about how to add repos. click it [08:46] can CLI use windows wlan drivers? [08:46] bazhang: The ironic part is that I had all this working in full Ubuntu, but XBMC and Natty don't play nice with my Intel graphics. [08:47] have anybody heard about this issue about changing resolutions before? [08:47] bazhang: Picture a flashing that'd make Electric Soldier Porygon look tame, and that's about why I abandoned that idea. [08:47] mlatelcom: what's the issue? [08:48] I heard ubuntu backdoored [08:48] I heard c0demonk3y like Tab and Mountain Dew. [08:48] sudo apt-get update doesn't work [08:48] do you want the output [08:48] entel_ I've explained twice :) let me go ahead and do it third [08:48] yes it's true [08:49] c0demonk3y, please stop that [08:49] Big warm fuzzy secret heart? ;) [08:49] Sorry, bazhang, my fault. [08:49] bazhang sudo apt-get update doesn't work [08:49] entel_ I just switched to ubuntu today and once installed found that I'm having an issue with my nvidia card settings. I applied a new screen resolution (1152x864) and it changed ok.saved it to xorg.conf;but once I restarted it changed to an auto resolution( 1024x768). checked xorg.conf and the new resolution is there but it looks like xorg.conf is not read for the system or a hidden file is overwriting the settings... [08:49] eli_, how did you add the ppa, what command exactly [08:49] entel_, excellent! it works again... even though almost everything in that shell script returned an error [08:50] crackerjackz: that's good yet disturbing [08:50] bazhang the one directly from the webpage sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name [08:50] mlatelcom: are u using gnome? [08:51] entel_, i thought to my self the same thing.. would you like to see the output of what the shell script returned when ran from the shell? [08:51] entel_ changed resolution with sudo nvidia-settings [08:51] no I'm using unity [08:51] eli_, you substituted the proper name in those places? [08:51] *glances at bazhang* [08:51] yes [08:51] crackerjackz: out of curiosity, yes i would [08:52] Did pithos just stop working for other people too? I got an error message "Pandora does not support your client version" and apparently this has happened before. [08:52] eli_, what s the error with sudo apt-get update , please pastebin it (ie dont paste in channel) [08:52] Could be an expired repo maybe...? Just a thought. [08:52] i know not to paste in the channel [08:52] entel_, http://pastebin.com/itLqjs9h [08:52] orethrius, I'm using that PPA so no [08:52] entel_ and it actually changes and the new resolution is written in xorg.conf file but everytime I restart it changes back [08:52] bazhang: Okay, well, just putting that out there. ;) [08:53] bazhang http://pastebin.com/ic3SNLNL [08:54] mlatelcom: quickly, to the log files! [08:54] eli_, do you have other instances of apt running? [08:54] /var/log/xorg something something [08:54] entel_, interesting, aye? [08:54] eli_, if so let them finish then try again [08:54] wait no it's Xorg.0 maybe [08:55] entel_ to the log files? [08:55] Might help to specify: Update Manager, Synaptic, or Ubuntu Software Center could all be locking that handle. ;) [08:55] ok, i did it, whenm i tried this time it just said done [08:55] bazhang [08:55] crackerjackz: i think the errors might just be the rmmod being unable to remove modules that dont exist [08:55] Well then, problem solved. :) [08:55] eli_, now install the package handbrake-gtk [08:56] bazhang in synaptic? [08:56] eli_, once you have updated again [08:56] well i have gotten 11.04 running in virutal box, 2D Unity tho. [08:56] mlatelcom: yes id suggest checking the xorg log file [08:56] entel_ahhh i see, well many thanks you have been a great help and you taught me a thing or two [08:56] eli_, your choice [08:56] can any body helo me for solving font issue for openoffice.org trying to read a file but unable to understand which font will be apply . the doc file is here http://www.gitjaipur.com/u.doc [08:56] man i really want to run this parallel with windows not within [08:56] wish wubi would have worked [08:57] redeyyez, i just got done installing ubuntu with wubi... why wouldn't it work? [08:57] bazhang, but i just updated, it wouldn't let me before because i had software center and synaptic open [08:57] and it just said done [08:57] not totally sure. [08:57] crackerjackz np [08:57] it would install show up in the control panel [08:57] eli_, close them all. then try from the command line [08:57] entel_ how can I do that? and how can I paste it somewhere? [08:57] bazhang, that is what i did [08:57] entel_ I just saw "pastebin.com" how can I use it? [08:57] but always during the finilization after reboot, it says it can't find the iso [08:57] it said done afterwards [08:57] redeyyez so what happens when you turn your computer.. it just boots straight into windows? [08:58] nope, boot manager [08:58] eli_, then sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk [08:58] ubuntu or window 7 [08:58] mlatelcom: i believe its located here  /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:58] redeyyez, when you select ubuntu what happens... [08:58] entel_ ok let me find it [08:58] its loads to finalzing install mode, then it jsut stops, says it can't find the ISO file which it downloaded. [09:00] entel_ got the file. how can I use something to show you the log file? it's pastebin for that puerpose? [09:00] bazhang, thanks, do i leave the video codec as it is by default in the video options in handbrake [09:00] I only have one "odd" thing going on. The entire FS is encrypted. I use truecrypt bootloader to enter the pw (decrypt) the drive. [09:00] mlatelcom: yea pastebin in gold [09:01] entel_ what's the syntax? [09:01] bazhang, do i switch to ffmpeg [09:01] I have an ubuntu machine which has the wrong system time. Even if I update the clock using ntpdate, it's still wrong - what could the problem be? [09:01] eli_, select the source, then choose what format you want it to output as such as mp4 m4v etc [09:01] redeyyez, i don't know... i'm stumped [09:01] crackerjackz: me either [09:02] redeyyez, maybe something to do with truecrypt but ive never used anything like that before so i can't say for sure [09:02] crackerjackz: It told me it could be a computer fragmentation issue to reboot win 7 fully and totally shutdown properly, because it says that this can adversely affect the install. Even ran chkdsk /r [09:02] bazhang: I guess I only have myself to blame for cheaping out on the WLAN... I'll have to wait till morning to find a decent LAN conn. [09:02] mlatelcom: just goto pastebin.com? [09:02] you mean to copy the log? [09:03] how does truecrypt work anyways... does it ask you for your key before you even select an OS to boot from [09:03] bazhang: Kinda defeats the purpose of a media center if you can't get details about your media, but meh, it's workable. [09:04] entel_ yeah I google it and found I have to register first. give me a few minutes [09:04] ecryptfs-mount-private: "fopen: no such file or dir" - what could be wrong? [09:05] mlatelcom: shouldnt have to register [09:05] ecryptfs-mount-private: "fopen: no such file or dir" - what could be wrong? [09:06] truecrypt has its own bootloader option installed, prior to the boot manager for OS selection [09:06] entel_ you are right ;) http://pastebin.com/b1efJUAn [09:06] ecryptfs-mount-private: "fopen: no such file or dir" - what could be wrong? [09:06] works pretty well i like it, allowws for a lot of choices [09:06] ecryptfs-mount-private: "fopen: no such file or dir" - what could be wrong? [09:06] Hi all [09:06] I want to record a screencast with sound on Ubuntu using XVidCap, but I got no sound at all. What audio device name should I enter in XVidCap settings? [09:07] ecryptfs-mount-private: "fopen: no such file or dir" - what could be wrong? [09:07] ecryptfs-mount-private: "fopen: no such file or dir" - what could be wrong? [09:11] What is the correct name for sound device on Ubuntu> [09:11] ? [09:13] probably /dev/audio [09:13] but I don't use ubuntu [09:13] Right, well, I'm off to try more ways of banging my head against a rather solid wall. Luck me wish. [09:14] but, it's probably the same on all distros, as they all use the same(sure, some patches) kernel [09:15] #jqtouch [09:15] join / [09:16] bazhang, when i covert to mp4 with handbrake and upload to youtube the video is damaged , but it is fine on my computer, is there another extension other than mkv or mp4 i can convert to with handbrake? [09:18] bazhang? [09:19] ANYONE!, when i covert to mp4 with handbrake and upload to youtube the video is damaged , but it is fine on my computer, is there another extension other than mkv or mp4 i can convert to with handbrake? [09:22] entel_ so did you find something wrong in the log file [09:23] how do I configure tor to use only certain nodes? [09:24] <_W_> if I haven't updated my remote server from Jaunty, is there now any hope of updating it, without a reinstall? [09:24] _W_, apt-get dist upgrade [09:24] perhaps [09:24] <_W_> (given that karmic is also out of support) [09:24] Hi alls i'm pretty new to ubuntu ,and using it for qt development, but have some basic noobish wuestions :) [09:24] Well, not much help in the xbmc channel... perhaps they're all asleep. [09:24] Why does wireless take soooo long to connect? and is battery management generally bad? as it says i have 1hr 50 left on a full battery, yet dual boot back into Windows 7 and i have 3 hrs 58 [09:25] _W_: technically possible. [09:25] !eol | _W_ [09:25] _W_: 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.

[09:27] Barnabas, the PID doesn't show up in pstree however you cann use pidof to get the pid of a process [09:27] reflect_, okay [09:27] !dual boot [09:27] 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 [09:27] reflect_, it didn't work [09:28] I don't suppose there's one of those for ndiswrapper...? [09:28] crackerjackz: pgrep skype to get the pid then? [09:28] Hi all, I've just installed 11.04 on a RAID-0 drive with encrypted / (unencrypted /boot). Grub failed during install so I booted into live CD, chrooted and did a grub-install (Grub2). It boots, decrypts drive then drops me to initramfs. Any pointers on what I'm doing wrong? [09:28] Or fwcutter? [09:28] !wifi | orethrius [09:28] orethrius: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:28] <_W_> oCean, unfortunately, that page isn't updated for Karmic being EOL [09:28] orwells-iphone: having issues with wireless? [09:29] SOMEBODY [09:29] <_W_> oCean, but I'll try to learn from it [09:29] kill -9 worked [09:29] tsimpson: Thanks, but CLI isn't quite working with STA or any of the open drivers. [09:29] crackerjackz, of cause it did :-) [09:29] reflect_: shouting won't help. What's your problem? [09:29] sorry i meant orethrius [09:29] tsimpson: Which sucks, because the GUI approach worked. [09:29] Barnabas, and reflect_ thank you :) [09:30] orethrius: GUI and CLI use the same driver, so find out what the GUI is using and install that [09:30] mjathree: #tor is dead as dead can be. I'm just wondering what I put in the torrc file to make it so I can use a specific node for my tor traffic [09:30] Us3r_Unfriendly: Sure am, trying to get XBMClive up with a Linksys WMP300N. [09:30] reflect_: I think #tor is on irc.oftc.net [09:30] orethrius: and you have used ndiswrap? [09:30] _W_: the process should be the same as Intrepid to Karmic, just substituting the release names [09:30] oCean: okay, cool thanks :) [09:30] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yup, no dice. [09:31] orethrius: really? [09:31] orethrius: did you extract the .inf file from the windows driver? [09:31] Us3r_Unfriendly: ndisgtk worked in Natty, but XBMClive uses Lucid... the exact same driver that worked under Natty doesn't seem to work with Lucid. [09:31] <_W_> tsimpson, the problem is that do-release-upgrade balks; "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool." [09:32] <_W_> and that tool doesn't have an option for which release to upgrade too, that I can see [09:32] orethrius: that seems weird [09:32] <_W_> *upgrade to [09:32] Us3r_Unfriendly: It's a Broadcom 4329, it uses bcmwl5. [09:32] orethrius: is it a "n" signal? [09:32] Us3r_Unfriendly: So I'm not sure why neither fwcutter nor ndiswrapper work in CLI. [09:32] _W_: make sure you have "Prompt=normal" in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [09:32] hola a todos, tengo ubuntu 11.04, me han desaparecido tanto la barra lateral como la superior y no aparecen... como puedo restaurarlas? [09:33] Us3r_Unfriendly: For my purposes, it doesn't need to be. I just need a baseline, which I got using ndisgtk on Natty. [09:33] <_W_> tsimpson, it is [09:33] _W_, how about downloading the relevant isos to the server, and mounting the iso for an update from that media [09:33] hello to everybody... right button bar and upper bar have disappeared.. how can i restore them ? [09:33] im using ubutu 11.04 [09:33] should still be around [09:33] Us3r_Unfriendly: So what's diferent here - other than the distros - that I'm missing? [09:33] <_W_> Barnabas, yeah I guess that could work [09:33] * _W_ tries [09:34] orethrius: sounds completely stupid and i mean no offence but one easy way for me to get wireless is updating the kernel. if that doesn't work i usually go see if the manufacture has source code for the driver, if still no dice i go the ndis route [09:35] orethrius: you did blacklist the original module using the card after install the .inf file correct? [09:35] Us3r_Unfriendly: None taken, I cheaped out on the card and now I'm paying for it. Doesn't make much sense to me that it'd work in the GUI, though, unless Natty added something... [09:35] Us3r_Unfriendly: Well yeah, I blacklisted b43, b44, bcm43xx, b43legacy, and ssb for good measure. [09:35] orethrius: it honestly should work, i fear something else is the culpret [09:36] Us3r_Unfriendly: I'm wondering if I have to blacklist the Atheros drivers, too, even though it doesn't use that chipset... [09:36] orethrius: see if it's being used first [09:36] orethrius: sudo lshw [09:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: Well, until now, I never tried it with Lucid; I assumed XBMClive was Maverick, which it isn't... [09:37] lol [09:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yeah, no lshw in Ubuntu Minimal. [09:37] xbmc is something different [09:37] wow [09:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: I know, weird, right? It's a weird combination of trying to make a kludge work in a rented environment. [09:38] orethrius: lsmod? [09:38] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yeah, that worked. [09:38] Us3r_Unfriendly: What am I grepping for? [09:38] elhoir: hablamos espanol. [09:38] ls [09:39] orethrius: grep for wireless and see if that comes up anything [09:40] or wire [09:40] grep for 80211 [09:40] Yeah, I grepped lspci for Network, it kicked back that the controller's a Broadcom BCM43XG. [09:41] orethrius: nice [09:41] lib80211 is loaded, btw. [09:41] orethrius: and you blacklisted the bcm43xg? [09:41] bonjour [09:41] I should clarify. There's no bcm43xg module. [09:41] bonjour [09:41] !fr | gilles [09:41] gilles: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [09:42] orethrius: sorry missread [09:42] Don't be, I think you hit on something I missed. [09:45] STA is giving me "unknow symbol in module" when I try to load it, too. [09:45] *unknown [09:46] Building a bash script to install a web production environment from scratch. Is there anyway when installing postfix with apt-get to skip the configuration dialogs (do default config - because the bash script will change these configurations later anyways)? [09:46] Us3r_Unfriendly: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3284373 [09:46] Us3r_Unfriendly: Those directions worked in 11.04 GUI with minimal adjustments. [09:49] orethrius: lsmod isn't that nice...well i've steered away from it and used lshw and that'll give me a nice output on what is being used on my hardware [09:50] Us3r_Unfriendly: Still, I feel like I'm missing something... [09:50] orethrius: it's a nice tool and i'm surprise it isn't installed? lsmod is good for seeing the modules in play...and good if you know which one your searching for [09:50] Fixed my grub problem. For the record, I was giving it a different mapper name when chrooted >_< [09:51] i love me some chroot'in [09:51] orethrius: have you update the kernel yet? [09:52] orethrius: i'd update the kernel and install lshw maybe for better output on what's being used on your card [09:52] Us3r_Unfriendly: That goes back to the whole "my household LAN is a pile and the landlord prevents me from tearing up the walls to fix it" [09:52] orethrius: i'm confused [09:53] orethrius: how are you with us right now? [09:53] Us3r_Unfriendly: Though I can probably SneakerNet lshw and dependency deps to the tower. [09:53] Laptop. ;) [09:53] orethrius: wireless? [09:53] hello, how can i restore the applications bar in ubuntu 11.04? [09:53] it has disappeared and i cannot restore it [09:53] elhoir: right click and add to panel [09:54] Us3r_Unfriendly: The problem is on a Minimal install of 10.04 on an HTPC. I'm communicating over a graphical copy of 11.04 on my laptop. ;) [09:54] Us3r_Unfriendly: where? I CANNOT SEE THE UPPER BAR TOO [09:54] sorry [09:54] i just can see the desktop [09:54] no bars, no panels.... [09:54] elhoir: alt+F2 "gnome-panel" [09:55] alt+f2 didnt work too last time i tried.... [09:55] i must have done something wrong... [09:55] Us3r_Unfriendly: ...and though I'd like the two to be directly related, no, bcmwl5 doesn't work on the tower, even though it works with the 4318 on the laptop... [09:55] orethrius: tight situation you have [09:56] orethrius: something isn't right... [09:56] Us3r_Unfriendly: another thing - i have tested with the root user, i cannot get bar & panels with this user.. so it must be something global.... [09:56] Well, the frustrating bit is that the 4318 will work with b43, but the 4329 has no such luck - it needs STA or ndiswrapper. [09:56] ...and right now, neither of those works... [09:56] elhoir: ctrl+alt+F1 [09:57] Us3r_Unfriendly: aha, ok, im gonna try [09:57] elhoir: cd ~/Desktop/;nano ./fix [09:57] elhoir, I don't run 11.04, but perhaps this might help: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.htm [09:57] elhoir: well first log in [09:57] Hi all. I'm having a problem with installation Netbeans on Ubuntu 10.04 server. No graphical interface only SSH. I use the sudo apt-get netbeans and it installs. But then I try and run netbeans and i get display error. [09:57] !classic | elhoir [09:57] elhoir: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".

[09:59] Us3r_Unfriendly: I think the commonality here, is that 10.10 works, 11.04 works, 10.04 doesn't work. [09:59] l0nwlf_: visudo is for editing your user to using sudo connected to your /etc/group file... [09:59] orethrius: do you have both machines with you? [09:59] Us3r_Unfriendly: Which is unfortunate, until I have daylight hours to drag this heap to a decent LAN conn. [10:00] hey [10:00] so what shall I do, I can use "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdaX ~/Desktop/drive" but I need to run it again and again [10:00] -_- [10:00] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yeah, they''re both here. [10:00] orethrius: on both machines type in: sudo uname -a and see what the kernels are [10:00] you know, I'm surprised with the number of laptops that have alps trackpads, that the support for them in linux is nonexistent [10:00] I've spent the whole day googling this stuff [10:00] i have a problem when i start my computer before gnu menu comes up i took that message sparse file not allowed press any key to continue. What does that error mean [10:00] and itlooks like people have been having problems with the touchpad support since 2005 [10:00] -_- [10:00] 38-8 on the laptop, 32-29 on the tower [10:01] I wonder what the default shipping is on Mav. [10:01] milen8204: What did you try so far? [10:01] how to skip the ogin screen on boot up? just want to hav eone acount thats automaticly started for faster bootup :P [10:01] your going to want to update the kernel on the machine that is not working [10:02] vlt, I tried to install MS office trough Wine [10:02] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yeah, I'm beginning to see that. [10:02] :D [10:02] I need to mount partition without clicking, how can I do so ? [10:02] milen8204: did it work ? [10:03] Us3r_Unfriendly: I suppose I could build a new XBMClive with the newer kernel... [10:03] IboS: you want to control partition from terminal ? [10:03] hellyeah, can`t find starting icons for Access [10:03] :D [10:03] I will preinstall [10:03] orethrius: on the lucid maching: sudo apt-cache search "linux-image" [10:03] Hi all. I'm having a problem with installation Netbeans on Ubuntu 10.04 server. No graphical interface only SSH. I use the sudo apt-get netbeans and it installs. But then I try and run netbeans and i get display error. [10:03] orethrius: or yeah with a newer kernel... [10:03] Us3r_Unfriendly: Even without a conn? ;) [10:04] hmm, [10:04] milen8204: for support with applications on wine, use the #winehq channel [10:04] hey [10:04] orethrius: sorry oops i thought you were hard wired in [10:04] any suggest [10:04] netbeans is a gui app? [10:04] pn for my problem [10:05] Us3r_Unfriendly: 35-23 is the latest there. [10:05] oCean, i went in online HQwine [10:05] i saw that is bronze raiting [10:05] dr_willis: It looks like the installation needs gui === vlt is now known as vltx [10:05] milen8204: this channel cannot provide support for applications in wine. That's what #winehq channel is for [10:06] oCean, ok thanks [10:06] orethrius: on the lucid machine that isn't connected? you'd sudo apt-get update to recieve a updated list of packages...from there you could see if a newer kernel was available [10:06] orethrius: sorry i forgot to mention that [10:06] I thing it is going to work [10:06] soulis77-SE: so use ssh x forarding feature. or vnc i guess [10:06] orethrius: and you'd have to be connect to the internets one way or another [10:06] Us3r_Unfriendly: Precisely what I was driving at... :) [10:06] I have succeeded....:D [10:07] geez === vlt_m is now known as vlt [10:07] so nobody here uses a laptop [10:07] OoTLink: nope [10:07] Us3r_Unfriendly: ok i have logged in in Ubuntu... i dont have any .fix file :-/ [10:07] vlt, it is working that way [10:07] OoTLink: one day i will [10:07] * OoTLink glares at Us3r [10:07] ctrl+Alt+F1 does nothing but open a new console session :-/ [10:07] dr_willis: ok but can I reset the export DISPLAY=localhost:0 [10:07] elhoir: you should be staring at a nano window correct? [10:07] I think the xorg drivers were designed exclusively for thinkpads [10:07] *rolls eyes* [10:07] but it has to be MS office 2007 [10:07] Us3r_Unfriendly: yes, correct [10:08] OoTLink: ...and pretty much anything else with Synaptics... like HP, Toshiba, Acer... [10:08] hmm i got 2x 6,5 gig and 1x 4.5 gig partetition on my disk for "work memmory" (dont got english ubuntu so im guesing the name. what one is the one im using? have instaled ubuntu 2 times and Backtrack 5 once so im guesing thats the reason i got them. [10:08] uh huh [10:08] first line: #!/bin/bash [10:08] screw synaptics! [10:08] and their developer friendly source code [10:08] OoTLink: ... ... ... [10:08] lol [10:08] OoTLink: do you have a support question? (this channel is not for general discussion) [10:08] yes! [10:08] but nobody has a support answer [10:08] kaellan: I don't understand your question [10:08] i hope i didn't brick something. hard drive boot is one control character and no booting. can still access IO for HD using rescue disk, boot successful, no filesystem errors. not sure how to proceed. [10:09] Okay, that made me lol. [10:09] OoTLink: you have not asked a question [10:09] I was hoping to find some advice for how to disable tap to click on an alps trackpad [10:09] I did [10:09] I asked if anyone else had a laptop with an alps pad [10:09] apparently no [10:09] that makes sense [10:09] OoTLink: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:09] rohypnolic: what is the problem you are having [10:09] ocean: Have you ever bought a laptop from a source other than the goodwill? Good day sir. [10:10] whats the best app to defrag ntfs and fat32 mounts? on 11.04 [10:10] i am a total noob first off. i installed slack curver, couldn't get my wifi to work, so reboot with disk and repartitioned [10:10] ikonia: i got 3x partetitions of swap memmory, how to find what one im using ? [10:10] Man, I'd say what I think of him, but the CoC... [10:10] kaellan: swapon -s will show you [10:10] then installed slack again [10:10] ikonia: ty <3 [10:10] on different partition system [10:10] that's when it bricked [10:11] Yeah, that's one of the rhyming words... ;) [10:11] I got an display error and tried "export DISPLAY=localhost:0" in ssh . Now I'm having server issues. is it possible to reset the value? [10:11] rohypnolic: what's your "ubuntu" problem [10:11] help me get rid of my slack problem [10:11] so i can run ubuntu instead [10:11] soulis77-SE: what is the error [10:11] since i can't handle the 13378 [10:12] soulis77-SE, that display would be to appear on the local X server.. is there a local X server even running? [10:12] rohypnolic: put the ubuntu livecd in, boot it, click install, follow the instructions [10:12] !install | rohypnolic [10:12] rohypnolic: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[10:12] Sidewinder1: damn :( thanks [10:13] rohypnolic: then that suggests either the CD is a problem, or you have a hardware problem [10:13] how do i make my sd card reader work ? :) thinking of using sd card as swap memmory like i do in windows to boost preformance even more. [10:13] b0nghittr, No problem. [10:13] kaellan: I woulld not advise that [10:14] kaellan: how much RAM do you have ? [10:14] ikonia: You have the patience of a saint. I, on the other hand, have things to sort out. Night. :) [10:14] kaellan, i doubt if it will help in any way [10:14] i'll reburn the CD first because this hard drive is fine i believe, and come to think of it i did interrupt the file transfer via premature burning. gotta check those md5 for sure. =) thats it for now [10:14] ikonia: 6 gig 1333 mhz ram [10:14] kaellan, you could put a swap partition on it if youi wanted.. thats rather easy to do. [10:14] kaellan: ok - you will get no benifit from what you suggest [10:14] swap on a n sd card would be dead slow [10:14] kaellan, the question is - do you ever actually use swap? [10:15] dr_willis: have never noticed a single byte in swap memmory xD [10:15] kaellan: ok - so there is certainly no benifit to putting a swap partition on your sd card [10:15] ikonia: No, I see now that I have a php error that is creating it.

[12:00] how do i find dosemu after u install it [12:00] erikaflusa: Console I would guess [12:01] oCean: what was again the command to unblock? look what i've got after restart :S http://pastebin.com/AmzqfFzu [12:01] erikaflusa: Do you know how to use the command line? [12:01] erikaflusa, run it from the terminal.. i actually use medafen emulator though [12:01] is medafan better [12:01] yukos: sudo rfkill unblock all [12:01] erikaflusa, try something like dosemu /path/to/game.zip from the terminal [12:02] ok [12:02] yukos: according to this thread you should blacklist acer-wmi (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1677127.html) [12:02] im still newbie on linux [12:02] a novice i guess [12:02] erikaflusa, i tried messing around with dosemu and couldn't get somethings to work right but i haven't had any problems out of mednafen [12:02] some things* [12:02] anyone have a clue about my problem D: ? === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest17106 [12:03] mednafen is that correct spelling [12:03] Does anybody else have machines with broken boot that throws you in a busybox prompt? [12:03] I have two people bringing me machines with the same exact problem, both running Ubuntu 10.10. [12:04] erikaflusa, yes mednafen is the correct spelling [12:04] I thought it was some hard-drive issue but it seems that some update broke everything [12:04] How do I change the gdm theme? [12:04] Mac-Rumours: it will give the same block id as they are identical [12:04] Mac-Rumours: that's why I told you to change the fstab to NOT use the block id - but use the device name [12:04] ok [12:04] B_Lizzard, hard drives should go on sata 2 ports [12:05] What? [12:05] i was gonna use a old desktop an put dos 6.22 on it [12:05] I'm saying, two people had Ubuntu 10.10 working and brought their computers with the same exact problem within two days of each other. [12:06] Boot fails and throws you into a busybox prompt [12:06] I, I have problem to shutdown my computer with a new 11.04 x64 installation, xserver closes fine and a message in the terminal is shown but it do not shutdown. I only changed the configuration of fstab: http://pastebin.com/HaFbz8Tv What can I do? [12:06] B_Lizzard: Hey [12:06] I am asking if anyone has anything similar going on or maybe I should post some logs or something. :) [12:06] B_Lizzard: if you think you hit a bug, search launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [12:06] B_Lizzard, are the graphics the same mfgr [12:07] B_Lizzard: Uhh, I've had that problem before, but all I did was reinstall lol [12:07] theres 100's of errors that could kick you into a busybox prompt. [12:07] The one is a desktop with Nvidia, I think, the other a laptop with integrated intel [12:07] B_Lizzard, Can't define exactly what caused the problem, but, you could always boot to LiveCD, back-up their /home directories, and reinstall 10.10 [12:07] often a reinstall of grub does the trick B_Lizzard [12:08] I'll try though chroot and reinstall if nothing helps [12:08] I want to map my keys using a GUI utility, does anyone have any suggestions? [12:09] B_Lizzard, i often find it handy to have a backup grub installed on flash drive to boot syste4ms that break. [12:09] Maybe it was a grub update that broke everything [12:10] theres 100's of errors that could kick you into a busybox prompt. [12:10] !appdb [12:10] 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 [12:10] ahh i was thinking of desemu or something not dosemu [12:11] OK, I just found it weird that two systems happened to have this simultaneously, maybe it was widespread or something. [12:11] Thanks again. [12:11] ikonia: fstab is changed and it's booting now, but mount still says sda2 for both :? [12:11] you can't emulate dos programs with mednafen [12:11] Mac-Rumours: you said it said sda1 for both earlier [12:12] Mac-Rumours: how are you deciding which one you boot ? [12:12] oCean: how do I blocklist a device then? [12:12] Mac-Rumours: as in where are you making that decision [12:12] ikonia: from GRUB which is clearly wrong (says boot sda1) [12:13] Mac-Rumours: what are the grub menu options (what do they say) [12:14] any body home [12:14] bluecatss: you can obviously see people talking [12:14] 1389, last I checked. [12:15] hi everybody [12:15] oh hai undead [12:16] ikonia: 1] Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic ... 5] Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (on dev/sda1) [12:16] Mac-Rumours: can you hilight each one and press "e" make notes on what you see, are they the same, or different [12:18] I have configured squid for instructions on how to here http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=61887.0 [12:18] all well it works, but the site that spun on this server [12:18] it is available only if the proxy to register, without a proxy is not available, tell me how to fix [12:18] undead: what is the IP of the website that is not available [12:19] I'm using "grep -rl width file | xargs sed -i -e 's/width/height/'" to replace "width" by "height" in a file [12:19] however that only replaces the first occurrance of the word in a line [12:19] does anybody know what to change in order to replace ALL words in a line [12:20] my lappy has neither X nor network. How can I enable my wireless from command line? [12:20] phoque: sed? [12:20] arkanabar: iwconfig [12:20] entel_, I am using sed [12:20] \w [12:20] ikonia: one says: set root='(dev/sda,msdos1), the other with msdos2 [12:20] oh sorry phoque i misread [12:21] Mac-Rumours: that looks right, but it's an unusual format [12:21] Mac-Rumours: ok - lets do a test here [12:21] Mac-Rumours: boot into one of the options, and do "sudo touch /example.disk" [12:21] ikonia: what does it mean? it should be formatted as ext4 [12:22] Mac-Rumours: then boot into the other and do "ls -la /example.disk" [12:22] Mac-Rumours: don't worry just run the test [12:22] phoque, isent there some /g option for that. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:22] ikonia: ok [12:22] dr_willis: global - yes [12:22] phoque: can you add a 'g' after the 's' in the sed's argument [12:22] phoque: sed -i s/width/height/g [12:22] how to blacklist a device? [12:22] oh yea its at the end [12:23] exutux, without the -e parameter? [12:23] ikonia: undead.lan, it site in my network [12:23] !blacklist [12:23] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [12:23] ok, how do I pass wireless encryption key to iwconfig? man pages are pretty opaque.? [12:23] phoque: i think that is the same for that simple expression [12:24] undead: ok - so that's why it can't b e used without a proxy [12:24] phoque: try both [12:24] hi. is any reference about the commands in xubuntu ? [12:24] hamed: in what respect? [12:26] setxkbmap us dvp [12:26] hamed: there are man pages for that sort of thing === rudymogavero is now known as SevenSeas [12:27] this command convert qwerty but i must do it every time [12:27] ikonia: after ls -la /example.disk output is: ls: cannot access /example.disk [12:27] Mac-Rumours: ok - so that does show they are booting into two different partitions [12:27] Mac-Rumours: boot back into the other one and run "ls -la /example.disk" [12:27] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/640780/ [12:27] Mac-Rumours: this time you should get output [12:28] exutux, entel_, thanks! [12:28] undead: why are you showing me that ? [12:30] ikonia: yes, output this time [12:30] ikonia: mount has gone back to saying both are sda1 :? [12:31] thank you very much ikonia [12:32] morning everyone! [12:32] Does anyone here use Ubuntu Brainstorm? [12:32] hey is usr13 on? [12:33] Mac-Rumours: uid's got to be confusing it, it shouldn't but it is [12:33] Padge: yes [12:33] Do the moderators tend to dismiss ideas they don't like summarily as "not an idea," or does the idea have to actually fail to meet come criteria? [12:33] Mac-Rumours: the good news is, they are booting into two seperate partitions, the bad news is the uuid's are confusing it [12:33] Padge: I've found it to be very balanced [12:33] Hello everyone, is there a way of remapping the ctrl+(alt)pgUP/pgDown and alt+down shortcuts to another combination ? [12:34] ikonia: my original idea was to have one partition for XBMC live only and another for Ubuntu 11.4, but the drivers on XBMC live do not support my GPU, so then I tried to install Ubuntu and spent about 4-5 hours getting wifi to work. so thought I'd clone drive (to make life easier!). is it a bad idea to have two copies of Ubuntu on different partitions (cloned or not)? [12:34] ikonia: I put in an idea, which I was pretty sure is an idea, and it was dismissed as not an idea. I put the idea in again with less wordy, more direct language in the hopes that it won't get summarily dismissed again. [12:35] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28246/ [12:35] Mac-Rumours: you can change UUID after clonation [12:35] ikonia: Is there any reason that isn't an idea? [12:35] Mac-Rumours: you've asked me a really bad question, so in theory, two different linux OS's (ubuntu or what ever) is fine idea, but the way ubuntu uses grub2 and puts all the config in /etc on the local partition in my view makes it a broken configuration so a terrible idea [12:35] tune2fs command can change uuid. [12:35] Mac-Rumours: so GRUB doesn't get confusion with same UUIDs [12:35] hey can someone help me fix my usb connection problem/ [12:36] hello [12:36] Aleprovencio: System settings ---> Personal ---> Keyboard shortcuts [12:36] Padge: you can launch multiple instances of applications, it already exists [12:36] exutux: it's nothing to do with grub [12:36] From the launcher? [12:36] Padge: I believe so [12:36] arkanabar, check http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_iwconfi.htm [12:36] From the launcher's convenience icon? [12:37] Aleprovencio: From the "power" icon in the upper right of your screen. [12:37] Is there some undocumented key I have to hold while clicking the button? [12:37] Padge: I don't have the specific details as I don't use it myself but I'm very aware of colleges having multiple terminals for example launched from the launcher === krups_v2 is now known as krups [12:37] I'm trying to export my passwords / wifi networks etc using the password keys gui but the export option is greyed out... any takers? [12:37] Padge: that's the method, hold the mouse click [12:37] ikonia: well I talking about fstab and mount partition [12:37] I'm [12:38] When I hold the mouse it assumes I want to move it [12:38] ikonia: i wanted to keep a clean XBMC install as this is for a living room HTPC, but wanted to learn Ubuntu so thought sanest way is to put it on another partition. So I suppose I can just have one installation that I don't mess with (or at least keep a backup of). What would you recommend? [12:38] Can someone help me with usb configuration [12:38] i have a problem i installed ubuntu 11.04 64 bit but now i tried booting for the first time but al i get is a black screen with a blinking cursor can anyone help me please? [12:38] exutux: the issue is two fold, 1.) Mac-Rumours's actual issue which is identical block id's due to a clone of the partition confusing the mounts b.) grub in /etc makes managing dual boots rubbish in general [12:38] To make sure I have my terminology right, by 'launcher' I mean the vertical bar in Unity that appears on the left [12:39] ikonia: indeed...for this I said that can change UUID to cloned partition [12:39] Mac-Rumours: this is not the best answer I'd like to give, but it is the most realistic, use a virtual machine, I hate to say that, as dual booting should be easy, however with ubuntu's grub2 layout, the truth is, it's not [12:39] Padge: yup [12:39] morning, thanks for the info. However I don't see any of these options there :/ [12:39] Padge: Click with Middle mouse button [12:39] how can i get a load output from console? [12:39] exutux: I'd certainly be interested in how you suggest doing this, just re-generate the blikd it ? [12:39] id [12:40] ikonia: with to tune2fs [12:40] Aleprovencio: How far do you get? [12:40] hello [12:40] ikonia: None of the OSs out there play nice together. Last time I tried to install Ubuntu on a Mac (along with Windows) the whole disk got corrupted. [12:40] morning: That would explain why I wasn't able to do it. I had a two-button mouse. [12:40] is there any ipv6 capable mirror for ubuntu? [12:40] dawcreck - i would use a gparted livecd and just unassign your partitions, then run the install cd after reboot [12:40] ikonia: sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdxx [12:40] Mac-Rumours: any other Linux distro will play fine, it's a limitation of ubuntu and how it works with grub2 [12:40] hi guys gettin below error when i sudo [12:40] Mac-Rumours: this is why we have VMs [12:40] exutux: ah, so you just suggest re-creating the uuids] [12:41] yeah [12:41] jira123 is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [12:41] Mac-Rumours: exutux is worth a go, although you'll still hit the same issue of maintaining grub for both OS' [12:41] Padge: There's some other way: Maybe clicking right and left buttons at the same time. Haven't tried it. [12:41] exutux: great id [12:41] idea [12:41] tried thhis but failed jira123 is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [12:41] Mac-Rumours: partiton needs to be unmounted [12:41] morning: I thought it was holding down the left click [12:41] I'm trying to export my passwords / wifi networks etc using the password keys gui but the export option is greyed out... any takers? [12:41] Mac-Rumours ikonia wouldn't lilo be better? [12:42] vik: is that user a member of the "admin" group ? [12:42] im the only user [12:42] gartral: no as the other distros won't update lilo [12:42] vik: show me the output of "uname -a" please [12:42] gartral: I see where you are going though [12:42] i mean i have installed ubuntu jus now [12:42] vik: show me the output of "uname -a" please [12:42] ikonia: I broke my brain for several time at work with this issue, because I use to clone more time for my servers [12:42] Upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 was interrupted. Command "dpkg --configure -a" exits with error "dpkg error unable to access dpkg status area: read-only file system". How can I solve this without reinstalling ubuntu? [12:42] morning, i get to the keyboard shortcuts application, but i don't see options i want which are 'move to the next/previews tab' (ctrl+pgUP/DOWN) and 'display drop down list' (alt+DOWN) [12:42] i think i installed too many packages from synaptic package manager [12:42] Linux D-MAA-00398040 2.6.38-8-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [12:43] gabriele: how/why was it interupted [12:43] vik: please show me the output of the command "id" [12:43] ikonia: well, thinking of matinence... lilo would only need too be updated what... once every few weeks at the most? [12:43] ikonia, upgrade manager froze [12:43] gid=1001(jira123) groups=1001(jira123),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(fuse),118(nopasswdlogin) [12:43] ikonia: solutions was or to use devices /dev/sdxx on fstab and grub, but isn't a good idea...better use UUIDS and create a new one after clone [12:43] gartral: yes and no, the issue is OS1 - update lilo, great, how does OS2 know to update lilo - as it was installed and managed outside of it, that's not a problem with grub1 or grub2 on a non-ubuntu distro [12:43] thats maybe why my usb isnt working [12:43] Ikonia: Middle click works for me. [12:44] ikonia: i want to try to keep things simple. sounds like one installation of Ubuntu will have to do. [12:44] can anyone help me please? [12:44] Aleprovencio: I dropped out & may have missed your last message. [12:44] @ikonia wat do i do [12:44] morning, ok [12:44] vik: show me the output of the command "id" as I asked [12:44] morning, i get to the keyboard shortcuts application, but i don't see options i want which are 'move to the next/previews tab' (ctrl+pgUP/DOWN) and 'display drop down list' (alt+DOWN) [12:44] dawcreck, just ask your question [12:45] gid=1001(jira123) groups=1001(jira123),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(fuse),118(nopasswdlogin) === Cain` is now known as Cain [12:45] ikonia, any hint?

[12:46] ubuntufreak21, then tell us your problem [12:46] Mac-Rumours: I'm sorry not to be more posative [12:46] Aleprovencio: There's an "Add" button to add another command. (But where to go from there is beyond my skill set.) [12:46] positive [12:46] ikonia, how can i remount it read-write? i'm in the manual recovery shell. [12:46] @ikonia wat do i do [12:46] gabriele: mount -o rw /dev/$disk / [12:46] ikonia: i've learnt along the way. [12:46] dawcreck - i would use a gparted livecd and just unassign your partitions, then run the install cd after reboot, ubu will take care of the mbr and make a new boot partition [12:47] vik: how did you remove your user from the admin group [12:47] ikonia, thanks i'll give it a try [12:47] morning, i see, going to make some tests. Thanks for your help ! [12:47] i insert usb in usb port and nothing pops up or it doesnt even do a single thing [12:47] oh i created 2 user [12:47] i delted the primary user [12:47] anyturn around for this [12:47] gabriele: sorry, it's mount -o remount rw /dev/$disk / [12:47] lol [12:47] Aleprovencio: Glad to serve. [12:47] gabriele: brain fade for a moment then [12:47] it blinks green diode but thats about it [12:47] vik: that's the issue then, [12:47] ikonia, ok thank you again :D [12:48] vik: you need to boot into recovery mode, and add the user to the admin group [12:48] as in [12:48] guyz can someone help me getting magicjack to work on ubuntu?????? [12:48] im new to ubuntu can u enlighten me more on this [12:48] hw to go about it [12:48] vik: research the command "usermod" and add the group to the admin group [12:48] sure [12:49] Hi, I'm wondering the part in the cli that shows in what folder you are, is that a package you can install? (i have a linux distro on my nas, but it only shows my username, and have to keep ls'ing to see my location) [12:49] *YAWN* [12:49] guyz can someone help me getting magicjack to work on ubuntu?????? -- plz [12:49] Dulcin: we support ubuntu here [12:49] ubuntufreak21: no need for that. You can just go ahead and describe your issue/question [12:49] yeah just hoping someone knew this [12:49] Dulcin: contact your free nas provider [12:49] magicjackwork: getting the actual MagicJack too work in ubuntu is Impossible, but using the Account from it with Ekiga or another SIPphone application is easy enough, after you hack out the password [12:50] in just did like twice [12:50] it it was a package i suppose its pre-installed on ubuntu [12:50] magicjackwork: what do you mean? [12:50] if* [12:50] ubuntufreak21: describe it (detailed) in single line, then sit back and have some patience [12:50] Dulcin: packages are different in distros, hence why the ubuntu package will be different than your nas providers package [12:50] gartral: what app will work with it [12:50] Lordveda: magicjackwork wants to make a MagicJack work under Ubuntu, which is impossible, belive me, i've tried [12:50] ikonia: well it's built on debian i believe [12:51] Dulcin: but it's "not" actually debian, so it will differ, best to contact the providert [12:51] oki [12:51] gartral: what is MagicJack? [12:51] magicjackwork: again, the physical MagicJack hard will not work in Ubuntu, or any linux, period, end of story. but the account can be used.. [12:51] but what's the part called anyway? is there a name for it? [12:51] a kinda of low cost phone service [12:51] i insert usb stick and nothing happens the green diode [12:51] lordveda: magicjack is VOIP service which is like a usb device that allows phones to get hooked up to it [12:52] Dulcin: contact your nas provider [12:52] Lordveda: it's a little dongle that has software that allows you too call people. it's by far the cheapest SIP-device/service available [12:52] Ubuntufreak21: One possible approach is to install autofs5 [12:52] nvm already got it, called bashprompt [12:52] blinks a few times thats about it [12:52] gartral: magicjack said they would add linux support yeeaarrs ago [12:52] where do i get that? [12:53] U'freak: From the repository. You can use Synaptic Package Manager. [12:53] magicjackwork: yea, and Microsoft said they would bring real Silverlight too linux around the same time.. One thing too remember about corporations: They REARLY do what they say without a Lawsuit [12:53] duh lol thx [12:53] gartral:will wine work with it though? [12:54] magicjackwork: no. [12:54] dummy me lol [12:54] y? [12:54] gartral: Is it a kernel driver issue? [12:54] magicjackwork: the simple answer: Wine doesn't know how to address the device. therefore it will never associate with it [12:54] U'freak: :) [12:55] Lordveda: no, it's more a compatability layer issue.. the MJ has a proprietary protocol between the Device and the Driver [12:55] Seems to me like the Old winmodem problem [12:55] gartral: ok [12:56] Lordveda: yes. kinda, except with better encryption and even MORE obfuscation.. [12:57] magicjackwork: in short, your best option is a WinPE VM running in the backgroud... [12:57] gartral: I meant I have understood that the problem with this MagicJack was the driver not the protocol as you pinpointed [12:57] gartral: I cant do that but..theres a mac version of magic jack on their website..will that work native kinda? [12:57] hello [12:58] Lordveda: I don't have access too the memory/kernel dump ATM, but the driver works, and so does the device, but Wine has NO idea how to interperate the protocol (as far as i can tell) [12:58] the user-switch applet has seemingly disappeared for some reason: what package does it belong to in natty? [12:58] magicjackwork: not in linux, though, i've heard of some success with porting it too BSD [12:59] Hi everybody. How is it the support for multi-touch touchpad on Linux? [13:00] Like the Dell Fingerprint Reader Dual Point or Dual Point Touchpad Trackstick [13:00] mastroDani: how is the support for multitouch in linux? depends on the touchpad [13:00] gartral, ok.. what about those two?

[13:03] mastroDani: Not the last word, but http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Dell/laptops looks hopeful [13:03] to open usb drive [13:03] im trying to see if autofs5 worked [13:04] Hi, is their a way to update/work on the same file found on every machine on my network other than ssh to every machine? [13:04] cause nothing happened [13:04] amarcolino: there's one way, but it requires a bit of setup, rsync [13:05] Hi, How to open Grub 2 menu at startup? i used "Shift" key but nothing appeared. [13:05] hi all, how can I clean the cache of my fonts. I did the "sudo fc-cache -fv" but it took me all the fonts in my disk, not only the ones in the .fonts folder [13:05] im trying to look for usb drive [13:05] gartral: do explain... [13:05] ubuntufreak21: what kind of flash drive? [13:05] U'freak: When recognized, it should show up on your desktop. [13:06] furqan, you have to hold it down from the bios scrn till grub appears [13:06] kingston flash drive [13:06] amarcolino: setup a cronjob on each client machine too check the file in need of update with rsync from a server, and make your edit on the server's file, then... wait [13:07] ubuntufreak21: open a terminal (ctrl-t) and type lsusb [13:07] ubuntufreak21: does the word "Kingston" show up in any of the lines? [13:07] BluesKaj, do we need to change grub config to enable this ? i've changed GRUB timeout and grub quiet [13:08] furqan, o [13:08] no [13:08] amarcolino: it's not at all ideal, but it does work. [13:08] yes it does [13:08] ubuntufreak21: is there anything on the flashdrive that you care about? [13:08] i just need to find it on my computer thats all [13:09] ubuntufreak21: So you have a USB flash drive... OK. What happens, when you plug that drive? Would it show up in the file manager or on the desktop? If not, open a console and type... dmesg tail [13:09] gartral, actually that would work thanks [13:09] BluesKaj, thankyou [13:09] yes there is [13:09] ubuntufreak21: it shoud just appear in your places or on your desktop. [13:10] what are yoiu trying to say? [13:10] ubuntufreak21: what's it formatted with? [13:10] gartral, these files would have the same settings so rsync would work [13:10] ubuntufreak21: i'm trying too figure out if you'll have too manually mount it [13:10] amarcolino: you're welcome [13:11] ubuntufreak21: So you want to know, how it is mounted in the system? dmesg tail will tell you that. should be something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1 ... [13:12] hi men [13:12] BluesKaj, nothing appeared [13:13] i was wondering if ther's a way to decompress files archived in that awfult RAR format, with a free program [13:13] anyone know anything about anything? [13:13] bnana: yes there is, there is unrar and unrar-nonfree [13:14] this my be my problem < 6.720824] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted.

Do not paste long outputs in the channel. [13:16] sorry [13:16] the free unrar doesn't extract , while back in time, having the same problem, only unrar-nonfree proved able to extract [13:16] but obviously, i cant use the unfree [13:17] How can we view Grub 2 Menu ? SHIFT key is not working... [13:17] furqan: You press (and hold) the left key? [13:18] minimec, yes, i did. [13:18] minimec, i'm using 10.04 [13:18] furqan, is this a laptop? [13:18] coz_, no! Desktop [13:19] furqan, oo ,, is the shift key working within the system normally? [13:19] coz_, yes it is [13:19] furqan: you might be facing wierd BIOS/Hardware that prevents the keyboard from actually doing much before a kernel loads... im not sure on your hardware [13:19] furqan: ok.Do it a little bit earlier. Just after the BIOS screen. [13:20] doesn't ubuntu add users to the 'users' group by default? I've just looked at /etc/group and 'users' doesn't have any of the system users. [13:20] furqan, and you said you rebooted,, held down the s hift key during the entire boot processs?..yes? [13:20] If the shift key was pressed to early it would disable key input [13:21] minimec, yeah! i pressed shift from BIOS menu to whole booting process [13:21] the shift should be held down at the bios scrn til grub appears [13:21] minimec, yeah! i pressed shift from BIOS to whole booting process [13:21] furqan: I would do it right after... [13:21] furqan, try it again after the bios [13:22] coz_, okay... give me some minutes [13:23] furqan: On my system the BIOS options would be present for about 5 seconds. Then the screen turns black and I press shift immediately. [13:23] ahh! now i got it: RAR algorithm license ristrict the re-engineering of a compression tool, but doesnt restrict the decompression. [13:23] * BluesKaj doesn't think that makes ay dff , but there's always omething new to learn [13:23] any [13:23] coz_: hehe, im on wierd hardware that doesn't use grub or any normal bootloader, it uses GPT tables that are edited by hard (or script)! [13:23] that's why unrar-free is only a de-archiver tool [13:23] damn kb [13:23] gardar, interesting:) [13:24] coz_: i'm not gardar!

[13:29] gartral, actually i was holding it too early [13:29] hey you guys are da bomb thx for your help [13:29] furqan, cool it works [13:30] coz_: I want that fc-cache scans only the folder .fonts in my home, not all the home folder [13:30] gabriele: can you ssh to it? [13:30] coz_: obviously I have other fonts in the home folder, but I don't want to install them [13:30] coz_, thank you .. and grub Leg is better than grub 2 [13:30] entel_, she's behind a router and I hardly believe that she's gonna forward the ssh port to her ip [13:30] furqan, excellent [13:31] taro, mm I have not had this issue with regenerating font cache [13:31] gabriele: just a thought [13:31] coz_: It's the first time for me also [13:31] taro, are you doing suod fc-cache -fv [13:31] guesss she's not the port forwarding type :\ [13:31] nope XD [13:32] if she were she wouldn't need this assistance now [13:32] hey does anyone now how to run an executable file on ubuntu?

[13:32] ikonia, how can i boot linux from grub? [13:32] taro, you could try sudo fc-cache (nameof directory) [13:33] i want to run linux usb/dvd multiboot installer [13:33] coz_: I did sudo fc-cache -fv and had the problem, than sudo fc-cache -r (rescan) [13:33] thanks i'l try it [13:33] gabriele: same was as normal [13:33] i just need to circumvent this read-only stuff [13:34] taro, try nameing the directory only with that...also there is a perfect application named font-manager,, that deals with fonts nicely makeing it possible to disable fonts on the fly [13:34] gabriele: the mount -o remount rw should have done it - if not there is more of a problem there [13:34] gabriele: you need to look at the output of the command "mount" and see if it's mounted read only, or read-write [13:34] ubuntufreak21: chmod +x yourfile, then ./yourfile [13:35] taro, man fc-cache doesn't have a whole lot of info associated with this however [13:35] gabriele: ikonia, it's mount -o remount,rw I think (comma separated) [13:35] huh? [13:35] ikonia, mount says that /dev/sda5 is mounted rw on / [13:35] speak english please3 [13:35] gabriele: ok, so do a test and touch a file as a test [13:35] ubuntufreak21: Make fie executable; run file [13:35] ubuntufreak21: that is english [13:35] coz_: it's very stange anyway [13:35] coz_: I've installed font so many times and never had similar issues === iqpi is now known as iqpi|afk [13:36] taro, yes it sounds so... as I said ,, I have not had this issue ,, ,I deal with fonts all the time,, [13:36] Hey everybody.

When I have Networkmanger display it it reads 3985150511464782 [13:36] taro, it is odd [13:36] ikonia, does the possibility of mounting an usb drive and writing on it do constitute a proof? [13:36] taro, unless the fc-cache "name of directory" command would be helpful [13:36] I don't know why this happen, once I was in a Cafe and tried to connect to thier WiFi using Ubuntu, many times but, times it doesn't show the network, and times it shows the network but it doesn't connect to it, though I used Win7 before to connect to thier WiiFi and it always work?

[13:40] gabriele: ok so it is mounted read only [13:40] gabriele: I assume you're using sudo [13:40] minimec, I don't know the name of the package. [13:41] ikonia, i'm using sudo and mount says /dev/sda5 is rw [13:41] gabriele: I mean to touch the file you're using sudo [13:41] ikonia, yes i'm using sudo for basically everything at the moment [13:43] Northernen: something radeon for opensource driver; something fglrx for catalyst === canu-qumm is now known as canu-m [13:43] gabriele: so are you %100 sure that /dev/sda5 is actually mounted on / [13:44] do i just put windows 7 iso in the iso folder?

[13:56] luckily, I havent had to work much with grub [13:56] chrisvj, UID is a special permission which makes the script run as the owner of the script, regardless of who actually runs it. [13:56] Hello, In Acetone, how do you install 2 ISO's ? I mounted ISO 1, and installed, and then it asked me for ISO 2, but there is no way to choose ISO 2 [13:56] dr_willis: it is a game server. It doesn't normally require to be ran with root [13:57] chrisvj, set it with chmod u+s file, and make sure it's executable. [13:57] ok this is what i want to do: [13:57] 1. download windows 7 ultimate iso. [13:58] 2. put it in the yumi muliboot iso folder [13:58] Northernen: I have another script that fixes the display (normally classic theme) and that is run with crontab, it works. [13:58] 3. run yumi at boot setup [13:58] is this correct/ [13:58] ? [13:59] or do i have to have the right software? [13:59] chrisvj, you could run it from rc.local that will run once at boot time [13:59] Northernen: ok, i did that, im going to restart and see if it works now [13:59] dr_willis: if this doesnt work, i will [13:59] I got a good question f [14:00] for anyone willing to answer [14:00] Osmodivs: in acetoneiso, File-Options-Database, read the help file [14:00] * dr_willis waits for the actual question... the suspence is killing me..! [14:00] im started to get upset this shouldnt take this long to respond [14:00] xsinick: you have to ask the question before we know if we can answer it [14:00] im starting to feel like no one cares [14:01] xsinick: Good questions have always been asked before... ;) [14:01] TechFreak21: calm down [14:01] TechFreak21, We dont make yumi,. ive used it befor.. but i would have to try it and double check its docs.. ive no idea if theres other steps [14:01] TechFreak21: your question isnothing to do with ubuntu [14:01] TechFreak21: thats why no-one is answering [14:01] TechFreak21, i recall you CAN dd the windows iso file to a flash and have it boot.. go ask in #windoqws [14:01] ok i will look for yumi chat then lol [14:02] is there a way to download .deb files to a particularly directory with apt-get? I have limited internet but a couple of computers with ubuntu [14:02] is there a way to make an application list or script that can be ran on a fresh install to install that apps you like [14:02] th0r: There is no info on my issue there... [14:02] with out doing them one by one? [14:02] xsinick: yes, just write a shell script [14:03] I think the software center should have this feature [14:03] lewis1711: Choose download only and clear the package cache before. Your files will be in /var/cache/apt/archives [14:03] TechFreak21, you did read the homepage at http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ [14:03] lewis1711 you can setup a local update repo and point your other machines to it so they don't use net connection for updates [14:03] lewis1711: All done in synaptics package software. [14:03] xsinick: it's not, so you need to write a shell script [14:03] xsinick, you an make a simple bash script that does a 'sudo apt-get install whateveryou want toinstall' [14:03] xsinick, i do it all the time. [14:03] ok [14:03] minimec: ah I see it here in man apt-get [14:04] !clone | xsinick [14:04] xsinick: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [14:04] nightrid3r: will look into that [14:04] so i guess it's time to learn linux bash scripting [14:04] lol [14:04] xsinick, the above commands can read pacakges from a text file.. [14:04] bash is on more then just linux. :) [14:04] lewis1711: ok. Nice to use 'man'... ;) [14:04] ahh [14:05] dr_willis: true, but linux has some specific bash commands, so his comment is still valid [14:05] xsinick, the way i do it.. is just a file with row after row of 'sudo apt-get install vim xchat geany' sort of lines.. [14:05] dr_willis: thanks alot [14:05] gartral, well theres specific programs in linux. :) but thats splitting hairs.. [14:06] ubottu: thanks alot [14:06] Hi, Im in ubuntu 11.04 How do I tell the Ubuntu Software Center to install all the games in the games list?

How do I install all the games in the Ubuntu Software Center without having to install one at a time? [14:12] hello [14:13] Pin1 you cant, you'll just have to select the games you want [14:13] or write some nice bash script to do it for you [14:13] Pin1 you cant do that [14:13] dr_willis i was hoping for a simpler solution :( [14:14] ikonia: ... [14:14] i just need the tcpdump package that was substituted in march [14:14] Northernen: that didnt work. dr_willis what was your solution? [14:14] Pin1: You can start by installing Gnome-Games in synaptic [14:15] hi [14:15] can you download firefox 5 for ubuntu 1004 and run it [14:15] chrisvj, is the problem not being able to run the file, or the fact that it's not run at boot? [14:15] mrdeb, yes. [14:15] yes mrdeb you can download it [14:15] :) [14:15] should i do that or use ff 3.6 [14:16] well new ff have many new features [14:16] its depends on you [14:16] i personally like new look of ff [14:16] I have installed 11.04 to a usb stick, i.e. booted fomr alive usb and run the installer with usb as the target, but it wont boot. It doesnt seem to have the usb-storage facility available early enough to load rootfs from usb. [14:16] you need to install grub to /dev/sdb [14:17] its s slightly different situation to normal install in that the laptop doesn't have an hdd, as its broke, i took it out. [14:17] i have grub on it, that not the problem [14:17] it should boot [14:17] the kernl panics trying to load rootfs [14:17] well in that situation [14:17] what is the size of the usb [14:17] i have chnage it to look at /dev/sda [14:17] you have to manaul switch to usb [14:17] as that is what it is with no hdd present [14:17] using your boot loader program [14:17] BIOS [14:17] Northernen: It says there was creating the child process for this terminal. failed to execute child process "/home/server.bat"(Permission denied) [14:18] mangod have a look at unetbootin [14:18] get sd card [14:18] how do i use grub to launch iso? [14:18] so it wont stick out [14:18] but it doesnt show theusual stuff about finding the usb partitions - i have also added rootdelay=30 - it never sees the usb partitions [14:18] nightrid3r, I used netbootin to make th einitial live usb key [14:19] im trying to install to a live usb key, not just make a live usb key [14:19] i have a wokring live usb key already [14:19] oh ok [14:19] well i installed it [14:19] and i just did one partition and then installed grub through advanced to /dev/sdb1 [14:19] that works [14:20] any one can help I unistaled my Wine and I have one folder in Applications and cant Delete it....any ideas ??? [14:20] milen8204: sudo apt-get --purge Wine [14:20] the grub part has worked, it loads the kernel, it just fails to find rootfs, and when i oot in recovery mode i can see that it never see the usb-storage device - as if the usb-storage is built as a modeul, not into kernel - and that it is not present if initrd (if initrd is indeed used) [14:20] i "think" that "should" work [14:20] chrisvj, what does that ? [14:21] mangod: Lazy as I am, I simply boot the Live CD.iso file in virtualbox, mount the stick and install. You can also burn a CD-Rom and load that... [14:21] mangod: Just be carefull to take the manual partition options ;) [14:21] so its the bios maybe [14:21] milen8204: --purge removes all files having to do with the program [14:21] chrisvj, E: Invalid operation Wine [14:21] no, is nothing to do with the bios [14:22] huh? one second [14:22] chrisvj, should i install wine again ? [14:22] can i make my ubuntu desktop to server without formatting my present UBUNTU ? [14:22] ok milen8204, open terminal [14:22] yes [14:22] HackNewton, is your /home/ on its own partition? if so you can reformat / and keep /home/ safe [14:22] chrisvj, I have done that [14:23] http://www.pasteall.org/pic/14746 Ok, this is where I get stuck, how am I suppose to insert disk 2 if I am using Acetone? Does Acetone has an option to install programs with 2 ISO CD's? [14:23] milen8204, what exactly are you trying to delete.. [14:23] judging by the size of the kernel imiage it has innitrd built into it [14:23] but i suspect that usb-storage module is missing [14:23] ok, type cd path/to/folder but dont actually type the name of the file [14:23] dr_willis, in programs I have few files [14:23] Osmodivs, copy contents of both disks to a single directory is somthing ive done in the past.. [14:23] i just wondered if anybody knew of an easy way to add it [14:23] milen8204, you mean in the MENU items? [14:24] dr_willis, I had unistal wine and now I have some programs which are not unistaled [14:24] dr_willis: Thank you, I'll try that, I just downloaded Alcohol120 for Windows, I was about to reboot to Windows... [14:24] dr_willis, no it dont have its own partition [14:24] dr_willis, and cant remove them [14:24] milen8204, look in ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs [14:24] dr_willis, i will try [14:24] HackNewton, i suggest backing up your /home/ doing a new install and copy home files back [14:25] Osmodivs, you can easially mount a dozen+ iso files using the loop feature of mount. [14:25] in short reformat it :( [14:25] anyways [14:25] HackNewton, im not even clear on what you are doing. [14:25] dr_willis: what was your solution for terminal saying permissions denied when i try to run a script at startup? [14:26] chrisvj, depends on who/what/when/why [14:26] chrisvj, it means you have to be root for running that script [14:26] chrisvj, startup meaning.. system boot.. or user login... [14:26] script doing what exactly? Gui app? system service? [14:27] dr_willis, i simply want to convert my desktop machine to server machine [14:27] dr_willis, If I delete them averething gona be ok ? [14:27] HackNewton: it is in root's crontab file [14:27] dr_willis: startup being before login [14:27] HackNewton, you can easially install services on a desktop install.. im not sure what you are 'converting' [14:27] so system boot [14:27] chrisvj, simple tools, in /etc/rc.local === magu_ is now known as MagoPancione [14:28] HackNewton, if you dont want X to startup - disable it. via the text option, or diasable the gdm service. [14:28] gartral, ikonia, oCean, thank you guys! she was able to fix everything and now she has a perfectly working natty [14:28] dr_willis, thanks i got answer :D [14:28] hay....... [14:28] hi pc02 [14:29] HackNewton, im not even sure what the question really was. :) [14:29] Aq Slah Nulis Nick Name,,,BT.. [14:29] gabriele: yay! [14:29] dr_willis, no problem at all i got brainstorm :D [14:29] HackNewton, better then a brain freeze i guess... [14:29] how do I give ownership of a folder to group only? [14:29] ha ha [14:29] nice one :D [14:30] ^_^ [14:30] BTW any one knows good IDE for java ? [14:30] please dont say NetBeans [14:31] amrcolino, use chmod command [14:31] amarcolino, use chmod command [14:31] dr_willis: I put the 2 ISOS in one folder, but still asks me for the "disk 2", and I can't find that LOOP otion in mount... [14:32] HackNewton: eclipse? [14:32] Osmodivs, put the contents of both iso files in a single directory.. mount them both, copy file sover [14:32] !iso [14:32] HackNewton, :), I know what I am wondering if I wanted to give permission only to group would the syntax be chmod -R .[groupname] [path] [14:32] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [14:32] Myrtti, its very much same as NetBeans but thanks any way [14:32] « sudo mount -o loop » [14:34] dr_willis: Err... the mount point would be... [14:34] I Alone Here..... [14:34] hellow.. [14:34] hi pc02 [14:34] dr_willis: when i try to edit local.sh, it says its read only and asks if i want to overwrite it. i tried changing permissions with root, that didnt do anything [14:34] hi pc02 [14:34] hi too...

[14:36] hey :) [14:36] go on acodder [14:36] my sound is kind low [14:36] HackNewton, ok would you be able to type the correct syntax or how would I go about achieving this? [14:37] I fixed doing alsamixer and turning on 'front' [14:37] its fine [14:37] but it didn't store the settings (gotta do everytime I boot up) [14:37] tried alsactl store didn't work :/ [14:37] and i'm kinda newb @ this :p [14:38] amarcolino, simply use chmod g+wxr [yourpath] [14:38] anyone know how to really change/or save alsa settings?

Now I seem to be stuck between versions. The error messages and sequence are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/640818/ [14:52] can someone tell me what the 'users' group in /etc/groups is for since no users is assigned to it?

[14:55] tiago__: du [14:55] mrdeb (if you're asking me...) I can't seem to do that. Reinstalling Hardy doesn't change anything... attempts to install Natty get what's in the pastebin. [14:56] tomc: A direct Hardy-Natty upgrade is/was a bad idea. You will have to install a fresh and clean ubuntu natty. [14:56] mrdeb, du dont work [14:56] HackNewton, I am trying to work out what is the purpose of the 'users' group in /etc/group, by default no user or service is assigned to it and I am testing acl. [14:56] minimec: if you read the paste, you'll find out he's trying to upgrade to lucid first [14:57] okay [14:57] OKAY BYE ALL [14:58] Thanks minimec... maybe I dont get how to do a 'fresh install' I thought I was doing that by burning the .iso file to a cd and using it as a boot disk. [14:58] wait, 'An upgrade from 'lucid' to 'hardy' is not supported with this tool.' ¿¿¿ what exactky are you doing¿ o_O [14:58] tomc [14:59] tomc: Well I would do exactly the same... ;) [14:59] Thanx xangua.... did you see my last about the .iso [14:59] how do you boot iso from grub 2 [15:00] tomc i have no idea what you are doing> 'An upgrade from 'lucid' to 'hardy'' ¿ [15:00] minimec... what would you do if that got you the error msgs in http://paste.ubuntu.com/640818/ .…. : ) [15:00] How can I enable showing of network directories in 'open file' [15:00] mrdeb: that gives me all the files, i just want to know the total [15:00] How can I enable showing of network directories in 'open file' dialogs for other apps other than nautilus itself?

[15:01] xangua... I'm not trying to do that... it looks like the machine thinks it's necessary... I'm looking at the Hardy desktop and the error messages in the paste bin when I boot... that's where I'm stuck... any advice appreciated. [15:01] mrdeb: i did, it would still go through every dir if i was in root [15:01] RonWhoCares: classic or unity? [15:01] oCean: thanks [15:01] tomc how about you paste the actual error message output when you try to update/upgrade ¿ [15:02] shingen: I am not sure. I just installed Ubuntu. It looks like Windows not, not Linux. I would like it to be Linux [15:02] dr_willis: Nah, it didn't worked, the folder i created and moved the 2 ISOS converted the ISOS into folders and files. But automatically created a 4th folder in my desktop, wich contained the 2 ISOS, I opened AcetoneISO and mounted the 4th folder, wich contained the 2 ISOS, selected one and mounted it - and automatically opened a window with the setup.exe file- I selected the other SO and mounted it too, - wich opened another window with the rungame.ex [15:02] e file- so, I clicked in the setup file to install it, choose the path to instalation, installing, and then asks me for the 2nd CD.... [15:02] Ok, xangua... give me a minute [15:02] tomc: there were so much changes in Ubuntu between the last LTS versions, starting with ext4, remove of HAL... I would not have tried the upgrade to Lucid. I would have installed Lucid or Natty from scratch- [15:02] RonWhoCares: already installed staru up manager'¿ [15:03] xangua: Yes I did, but I don't know how to access it. I have about 10 boxes on the left hand side of the menu [15:03] Osmodivs, you are making this too complex [15:03] I mean the left hand side of the screen [15:04] RonWhoCares: how about you run 'startupmanager' [15:04] Osmodivs, mount iso1 to ISO1.. mount iso2 to ISO2 mkake a dir 'ALLSTUFF' copy files from iso1 to ALLSTUFF do same for Iso2 [15:04] cd to ALLSTUFF run 'wine theinstallername.exe' [15:05] I have had to do this trick in the past for games that came on multi disks. [15:05] Any ideas on the external monitor, should I repost? [15:05] bbl.. gotta get the grill going [15:06] xangua: How do I give this command? [15:06] xangua... see http://paste.ubuntu.com/640823/ [15:07] tomc i was refering to apt-get update && upgrade [15:07] or tried: apt-get install -f ¿ [15:07] hi all i think something silly now i can't undo it. i was playing around with keyboard shortcuts in natty System Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts and i may have accidently mapped the del key to a non command but i can't find the custom mapping now [15:08] dr_willis: Well, I followed your instructions [15:08] dr_willis: Are you sure you have done this before? I have to say they are .exe files in there [15:08] dr_willis: What do you do if it asks you for a 2nd CD? [15:09] xangua: Is there a way to make Ubuntu 11 to look like Linux (such as version 9) instead of Windows 7? [15:09] ron which [15:09] I want to make it look like version 9 [15:10] what is version 9 [15:10] karmic [15:10] Ubuntu 9 [15:10] I just went from Ubuntu 9 to 11 [15:10] what do you want to do. the bar at the top [15:10] anyone know how to enable network shares and symlinks to appear in 'open file' dialogs in other programs (firefox & vlc for instance)?

[15:11] RonWhoCares: use classic ubuntu at logon, instead of ubuntu. it will look like gnome [15:11] if i want to be able to call a newly installed program from anywhere any location in the shell, how do i do it? [15:11] tiago__: just type the name [15:12] or hit alt f2 [15:12] !classic | RonWhoCares [15:12] RonWhoCares: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity.

[15:12] okay, let's try this... can anyone confirm they don't see network shares and symlinks to appear in 'open file' dialogs in firefox or vlc? [15:12] mrdeb: doesn't work, I have to be in the dir where the file is, and put ./ [15:12] whats the program [15:12] mrdeb: doesn't matter, any program [15:12] sshfs, samba or ftp(fs) [15:13] tiago__: the executable of such package, has to be in one of the bin directories in the PATH variable. So you have to edit that variable. [15:13] is it executable not installed [15:13] oCean: ok that was the answer i was looking for [15:13] you can make a symlink to it in usr/bin [15:13] tiago__: for example, to add a directory in your homedir: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin [15:13] i think [15:13] oCean: exactly, i didn't remember how it was exactly, thanks [15:13] ahhh thanks [15:14] oCean: but i think this info was always lost when i shutdown the pc [15:14] tiago__: in that case, add that "export ... " line to your .bashrc file [15:14] ok [15:14] w00t, found my answer on ubuntu forums, but it basically means, ubuntu sucks!

Both operating systems are on the same computer I want to take 9.04 off [15:43] Guest69991: please stop this discussion, it's not supported here, and oracle is not supporting ubuntu linux [15:44] okay. thanks anyway [15:44] Guest69991: but as i said i think you need sles, red hat or unbreakable linux for oracle db === xiaomaidou is now known as bluecry [15:46] RonWhoCares , just format the 9,04 parttion then expand the 11 into the freespace [15:47] do I do this within Ubuntu 11? [15:47] hey, how do I mark a repository as trusted? [15:47] Hi..I would like to watch the number of interupts coming from my netwok adaptor [15:47] I tried http://pastie.org/2187914 but watch will not update. Please help me understand the reason [15:47] RonWhoCares, be sure, that the bootsector doesn't point anymore to the partition, you wish to format [15:48] anodon add the repository key, if it's a ppa, you'll fin the instructions on the ppa page itself [15:48] How do I scan using my network attached printer? xscan says "no devices available" [15:48] I used startup manager earlier [15:48] xangua: which is where? currently its with a repository with adobe flash [15:49] !scan | Araneidae [15:49] Araneidae: Scanning software: Simple-Scan (GNOME), Xsane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR [15:50] user_: why do you want to see interupts ? [15:50] user_: what's the actual problem you're having ? [15:51] ikonia: no particular reason...I just want to practice using 'watch' [15:51] user_: that's also now how you use awk [15:51] BluesKaj: where is the 'format' option? [15:52] user_: also watch is there to watch a running program, not a 1 output command [15:52] Abhijit, alas the ScanningHowTo doesn't say a lot about LAN-based scanners. Mentions HP, but mine is a Samsung... Guess I'll try it anyhow [15:52] ok [15:53] Oh. I don't seem to have hplib in my repository [15:53] i have 3 files of different type with the same name, how can i change the name of the three files and maintain their extension ? [15:53] ikonia: okay...thank you for telling me...btw, so what is the correct way to use awk? [15:54] RonWhoCares, you have to run the partitoning from a separate livecd like gparted ,,,one can't format a partition on a drive that's mounted (being used) [15:54] user_: it's a rather large command, there are many ways [15:54] I get: "E: Unable to locate package hplib" [15:55] BluesKaj: How do I get gparted Or is this available from the GRUB prompt at start up? [15:55] RonWhoCares, it is [15:55] RonWhoCares: it's an application, you install it [15:55] Should I have hplib available for install? I seem to be missing the package from my repositories, which seems odd [15:55] Araneidae: it is hplip [15:55] RonWhoCares: open the package manager, search for gparted, install it [15:55] RonWhoCares: use gparted from the live cd [15:56] ikonia: does it involve using a loop? [15:56] RonWhoCares: and remember to always have a backup when playing with partitions [15:56] user_: no [15:56] hplib not found [15:56] Araneidae: it is hplip with a P [15:56] Araneidae: lip "P" [15:56] hPlib ? [15:56] Huh. [15:56] download and burn the gparted live cd , RonWhoCares http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [15:56] Araneidae: are you serious [15:57] Araneidae: Linux Imaging and Printing [15:57] Araneidae: read what oCean has typed [15:57] p [15:57] oh crap [15:57] hpliP not hplib [15:57] sorry [15:57] * Araneidae can be blind [15:58] hi can any one please help me , system not detecting the usb drive [15:59] I'm using the egroupware suite. I've just configured most of it, but I don't have a normal user set up yet (probably as database, as I'm not using LDAP). I need to know how to set up a normal user. [16:00] Ho hum. Seems that the Samsung CLX-1370 doesn't speak HP all-in-one and I've not found anything else relevant yet [16:00] SEENA: did you check the media file in root? [16:00] ikonia: would you mind giving a brief description? [16:01] Firefishe: and you ask in #ubuntu because..? [16:01] user_: yes, it's a massive topic awk, I suggest you research how it can be used [16:01] oCean: I ask in #ubuntu because, in many case, as well as *asking in #egroupware which I have already done*, someone has cross-platform experience and can answer my question. [16:01] case=cases [16:01] see, I even correct my own typos :P [16:03] Firefishe: that might be true, but it's still offtopic in this channel, which is ubuntu specific [16:04] oCean: I don't know about you, but I've seen many non-OS-specific questions in here answered. If you can't answer my question, please, just don't answer. [16:04] I mean no offense.

[16:35] Araneidae: you don't need confirmation, your man pages is the same as everyone elses [16:35] In my case the man page says "None required" under configuration, which suggests it's behind the times [16:35] Ok. Then presumably Ubuntu's packages are out of date?

[16:36] ikonia thanks [16:36] ikonia: I have another device in the card reader [16:37] rcmaehl: you should see that device, if it has a valid partition table on it [16:37] Rudolf_, what wifi connection do you have ? What device ? Is not a notebook? [16:37] ok [16:37] Ya..a laptop [16:37] are LTS releases thoroughly tested releases or just releases that will get Long term support ?

[16:45] kevin` mmm what i told you is just to edit grub :P [16:45] Rudolf_: network manager that's smaller and quicker [16:45] Rudolf_: see the little network icon at the right top corner¿ [16:45] instead of gnome network manager [16:45] there you have [16:45] RonWhoCares, so you're booted into gparted ? [16:45] Th0r, whats wicd [16:45] Kevin`: >.< chromium [16:46] BluesKaj: Yes I have. These are the top options I have now. Start Clonezilla OR Enter command line prompt [16:47] clonezilla is a copy image application...that's not what we want ..we want gparted GUI , RonWhoCares [16:47] Is there a clean way to install a local build of sane-backends while keeping everything else? [16:48] RonWhoCares: or just use Gparted from the ubuntu live cd [16:48] Anyone? [16:48] Presumably I need to uninstall libsane ... but then that'll force an uninstall of xsane, which I don't want. [16:48] Araneidae: dpkg supports local package [16:48] (11:45:21) xangua: Rudolf_: see the little network icon at the right top corner¿ [16:48] ikonia, ach -- so I need to build a dpkg first [16:48] Araneidae: a deb file, yes [16:48] xangua, he's got it on usb and says he's booted into it ...never heard of clonezilla on gparted before [16:49] Araneidae: Or just build it, stick it in /usr/local/* and then make a dummy package for libsane [16:49] I guess the trick is to use apt-get source and try and apply the Ubuntu patches? [16:49] Rudolf_: you asked for an alternative to the wifi manager....wicd is a possibility [16:49] Flannel, that's an interesting idea [16:49] Araneidae: It's not the cleanest, of course. [16:49] the ubuntu live cd/ live usb, the fact is that is already there [16:49] ikonia: How do I change swapiness? [16:50] RonWhoCares, are you sure you're on gparted ? [16:50] hey how do you get an iso that works for grub? [16:50] ikonia: I don't know how since ailirus isn't update for 11.04 [16:50] It's annoying that Ubuntu is a year behind on sane-backends [16:50] BluesKaj: Does the option "Work with disks or partitions using images" seem better [16:50] rcmaehl: what ? [16:50] K [16:50] it may be asking me to backup before I begin [16:50] RonWhoCares, uhm yes [16:51] Araneidae: depends of the ubuntu version you use, it doesn't always have the latest [16:51] how do you huh? huh!

If possible, put the swap on a different HD or USB drive. You can easily create a swapfile, you don't need a partition. [16:56] TechFreak21, i have urls to guides on booting iso files via grub2 at my links --> http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 [16:56] TechFreak21: ok - that's nothing to do with ubuntu as you've beent old multiple times [16:57] TechFreak21, google for a correct grub.cfg entry for that iso. basically. [16:57] minecraftfan: I have a 5.0 gb swap on a hdd by itself [16:57] minimec: I have a 5.0 gb swap on a hdd by itself [16:57] rcmaehl: We don understand eachother ;) [16:57] minimec: the rest of the space is free [16:57] however [16:57] that HDD is failing [16:57] is diffuclt to use grub? [16:57] TechFreak21: it can be depending on your experience [16:58] i know nothing about it [16:58] but iam an easy and quick learner [16:58] TechFreak21: the best option is to burn the iso onto a CD [16:58] !grub2 | TechFreak21 [16:58] TechFreak21: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [16:59] rcmaehl: So that is a swap partition, not a swapfile, fight? [16:59] minimec: yes [16:59] i dont have a cd burner [16:59] these links arent opening [16:59] rcmaehl: Why do you use such an amount of swap. Are you hibernating your computer, or do you work with large media files? [17:00] TechFreak21: they do work [17:00] TechFreak21: if you purchase microsoft windows, they will give you a CD for free [17:00] TechFreak21: you can mail them with your activation code and they will send you one out for free [17:00] how can i get banshee to look up cdbb info? [17:00] minimec: both [17:00] Jahooty: should do it by default, mine certainly does [17:00] what about a recovery cd [17:00] it keeps failing [17:00] TechFreak21: that's the same thing, the recovery CD is the install CD [17:01] is that the same thing? [17:01] ok [17:01] rcmaehl: Still... I would format that separate HD and use it as swap (swapfile) and backup. You would be much more flexible, I guess. [17:01] techfreak21 use abusb for make bootable windows 7 [17:01] well ill be getting on in a few days im just looking for free windows 7 ultimate iso download [17:02] TechFreak21: get it from the microsoft site [17:02] TechFreak21: if you don't have the tools to use it, the best option is to just wait for the official one to arive [17:02] how [17:02] TechFreak21: the guys in ##windows can help [17:03] TechFreak21: /join ##windows [17:03] hi, can someone help me save my system? I did something stupid, and now my libstdc++ is unusable, which means that I don't have dpkg, apt, apt-get or aptitude. [17:03] thus no way to fix it [17:03] oconnore: what did you do [17:03] er... no easy way [17:04] ikonia: i upgraded my X11 from oneiric on a natty install, and it pulled in the next libstdc++ [17:04] oconnore: for me - just re-install, [17:04] oconnore: mixing repos and deps is just a disaster, so the best way to go back to a sane distro is to re-install from a stable release. [17:05] * oconnore makes an "eeghl" noise [17:05] but ok [17:05] oconnore: sorry, it's the most realisitc option [17:05] you can do many other things, but the most realistic is to reinstall to a sane base [17:06] oconnore: YOu could try to recover with a LIve CD in a chroot environment. [17:06] does anyone successfully installed network-manager 0.9 (0.8999) on lucid? [17:06] minimec: thanks, I guess I will play around for another few minutes and then take ikonia's advice if i haven't got anywhere [17:06] whats the best Im for ubuntu? [17:06] minimec: how - if he chroots, it's into the broken environment [17:06] hey you guys how I use hdmi in ubuntu? [17:07] trying to hook pc up to tv [17:07] ikonia: Which is true... I agree.

[17:10] jtiner, su to root and run `visudo` to fix it [17:10] jtiner, add yourself to sudoers group [17:10] gonna try that now [17:10] That's true: sudoers should just have '%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' at the bottom [17:11] Ericthegreat: So just plugging the cable was not successfull? Do yyou know what kind of GPU you run. According to your GPU there would be the property tools from ATI/NVIDIA or the Monitor Preferences tool for the opensource driver. With these tools you can probably configure HDMI output. [17:11] just add my username to the user aliases portion?

[17:16] codingenesis: login as root¿¿ bad idea [17:17] that's the reason why i want to make a user [17:17] use adduser [17:17] in terminal [17:17] to give sudo right adduser admin [17:18] after that it should be ready to use [17:18] hey back [17:18] Dynamit, i have to write admin after the username?? [17:19] yes to give sudo rights [17:19] how do I sue sudo make clean to get rid of an application named atlas? [17:19] use [17:19] but i made the user without writing admin.. [17:19] now can i give that user admin rights ?? [17:19] i can search on what the command is [17:20] codingenesis, all you have to do is edit /etc/group and add the username to the admin line [17:20] i think is the same but not sure [17:20] can anyone help me out tring to ssh from a virtualbox machine (debian) into an ubuntu host - the connection is rejected by firewall ( using firestarter) if it turn off firewall the connection is fine.... [17:20] hey you guys when I activated restricted ati driver I no longer have unity.... [17:20] why [17:20] use Araneidae way to do it [17:21] Dynamit and Araneidae thanks :) [17:21] no problem [17:22] !firewall [17:22] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [17:23] i have tried to allow the ssh port (22) with firestarter but it still rejects the connections [17:23] Does an application have to do anything special to work with the Unity launcher? [17:23] x-chat starts a new instance whenever I click it [17:23] Does Canonical recommend any particular IRC client? [17:24] Padge, nope [17:24] Padge, see if there is any bug reported. click on affects me too. if not report a bug. [17:25] i like weechat [17:25] i would say xchat is okey [17:25] i think i hosed something that was installed by default [17:25] but i like the interface of NoNameScript better [17:26] X-chat is okay, but it's not jiving well with Unity [17:27] i use clean gnome whit the UI that is default in Ubuntu 11.04 whit supportet grafic card's [17:27] impiza? [17:27] so i can't say any thing about IRC Client's whit Unity use [17:27] does ubuntu 11.04 support dm-crypt on root file systems ? Can i use a full system encryption on it [17:27] when [17:27] i should [17:27] hi, I'd like to enable virtual hosts in my apache2, so i followed the basic steps: 1. create file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.conf, 2. edit /etc/hosts, 3 call a2ensite, 4. reload apache2, but it wond redirect to my new website, but simply to localhost. What can i do? [17:27] TechFreak21: we don't take pizza orders here :P === sarah is now known as Guest4896 [17:28] a [17:28] i have you encryption on my Ubuntu 11.04 but forgot the password so i was need to remove user and creat new one [17:28] use [17:28] not you LOL [17:29] hi. a quick one about moonlight: can someone temporarily put .mozilla/plugins/moonlight/silverlight-media-pack-linux-x86-21-1.so file to somewhere? microsoft server is not working for me and I'm trying to get moonlight videos working on a friend's computer [17:30] moonlight itself installed fine, but codec installation has always failed for hours now - either not starting or always failing at some specific point of download [17:30] I've googled everywhere, and of course I do understand it's not supposed to be distributed as such (therefore asking temporarily) [17:31] yes i like a large fry with a medium coke and a mcflurry lol [17:31] gbili i would recommend virtualmin if will use virtual server often [17:31] and yes I'm asking this as I have to run soon, so please if you can drop that file somewhere for a brief moment quickly, I'd be happy [17:31] with a small dish pizza from pizza hut [17:32] ubuntuuser123: moonlight doesn't support all silverlight stuff, you could try downloading the moonlight beta plugin from it's site [17:32] what is gtkglextmm-1.2.m4:225 for? [17:32] just kiddin [17:32] what is gtkglextmm-1.2.m4 for? [17:32] xangua: it's not the plugin, it's that file I mentioned that is downloaded from microsoft.com - moonlight itself is working [17:32] What do you need to know about adding software to your system that is not in the package repository? [17:32] ubuntuuser123: if you have that one file on your system, I'm asking for that since it's externally downloaded by moonlight [17:33] In particular, I'm referring to ActiveState's Komodo [17:33] They offer an archive as a package, but I don't know how to add it to my system that way [17:33] Also, is it convenient to remove it should I decide I don't want it anymore? [17:33] ie. .mozilla/plugins/moonlight/silverlight-media-pack-linux-x86-21-1.so (according to googling) [17:34] what's the opposite of add-apt-repository? [17:34] hello i just a made an immediate request with the nationalinternetchannel to make you guys work harder aand more professional [17:34] ;0 lol [17:36] ubottu: thanks for the suggerstions - tired gufw and it works... must be a bug in firestarter as i had it configured the same..... [17:36] muppet_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:36] SharkMonkey, you can edit this file to remove ppa /etc/apt/sources.list [17:37] Hello - I just did an upgrade to Natty, and everything worked except nspluginviewer, which is preventing me from upgrading flash player. When I do apt-get install nspluginviewer, I get a seg fault with "exit status 139". Here's the output from apt-get: http://pastebin.com/vD0u87Fe [17:37] Abhijit, I was hoping for a script like add-apt repository [17:37] Any ideas on what the problem might be? [17:37] Abhijit, and besides added sources don't show up in sources.list [17:38] SharkMonkey, this seems to do http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [17:38] techfreak are you there [17:39] Oops - "nspluginviewer" should actually be "nspluginwrapper" [17:40] (12:33:54) SharkMonkey: what's the opposite of add-apt-repository? sudo ppa-purge === raylton is now known as Raylton [17:43] Poindexter_: 1) Please don't PM me. 2) If you read lines 13-16 it states that the other plugins can't be installed because nspluginwrapper failed [17:43] xangua, i don't seem to have that command [17:44] SharkMonkey: need to install ppa-purge first [17:44] xangua, Abhijit thanks [17:44] SharkMonkey, welcome! :-) [17:46] hi everyone - if I have two partitions on the same hard drive (one is for /, the other is just for data) can I merge them seamlessly (not just mounting the data partition)? [17:47] jbu, you can merge them. time depends on the size. seamlessly depends on your luck. [17:47] hey, I am having an error with my printer and I don't understand how to fix it. There are a ton of forum posts but I am not finding any solutions to this issue:http://pastebin.com/WtwhARnx [17:48] jbu: merging isn't really possile/safe, its btter to copy the data on, delete the partition and extend the other to be one big one [17:48] ikonia & abhijit, would I have to reinstall ubuntu? [17:48] which kernel is safe from the powre bug of 2.6.38 [17:48] 32? [17:48] Sivik: that looks like macs [17:49] What's with the aversion to MSGing people these days? [17:49] jbu: no, [17:49] ikonia, what do you mean looks like macs? Its an issue from cups [17:49] Sivik: the file system paths [17:49] ok thanks guys [17:49] Sivik: the error is quite clear "file not found" [17:49] ikonia, ok, what is the best way to fix it as it is the error when I try to print something. [17:49] yes, but how do you get it re-added [17:49] Sivik: found out what package contains it, as you say there are lots of posts about it [17:51] I have an Nvidia GTS 250 and I'm using the nvidia driver (it's loaded according to Xorg.0.log) but video playback is consitently choppy. [17:51] Why is this? [17:51] wow ppa purge is a lot fancier than expected. it even helps me remove packages that installed with the ppa [17:51] to you use the recomend one [17:51] askhader: poor support ? [17:51] ikonia: What's that supposed to mean? [17:51] askhader, i have the same card and same issue. [17:51] askhader: exactly what it sounds like "why is it doing it" - poor support from the graphics driver [17:51] Nobgul-bnc: Looks like Ubuntu has lost its worth. [17:51] ikonia: That's a silly excuse. [17:51] askhader: it's nothing to do with ubuntu [17:52] askhader: no, it'a realistick answer [17:52] I'm sure the driver support I'm looking for is implemented. [17:52] Because this card is not obscure nor defective. [17:52] askhader, not at all. all i do logout and then log back in [17:52] askhader: clearly not, as your complaining it's not working [17:52] I'm certain it's a deficiency in the current video configurations. [17:52] askhader: nvidia is a closed source driver made by nvidia, it's results on Linux vary depending on a lot of things [17:52] if you use the recommend driver's to other one if available [17:53] askhader: its capability and stabilty are nothing to do with Ubuntu, or Linux in general but the way the driver is written by nvidia [17:53] ikonia: Good, that's not what I was talking about. [17:53] I use Ubuntu because it tends to provide a sane installation. [17:53] askhader: and it has done here [17:53] Not so in my case, hence Ubuntu has lost its mereit. [17:53] Gonna have to tweak it myself anyway, love. [17:53] askhader: you're not listing, the driver for nvidia is not provided by ubuntu [17:54] askhader: you can't tweak it, - it's a closed source driver [17:54] askhader, what player and filetype are u using, just out of curiosity [17:54] it's provided by Nvida [17:54] No, I'm nost listing. [17:54] askhader: then I suggest you ask for support elsewhere, try #nvidia or the nvidia forum [17:54] ikonia: You have fun trying to tweak nvidia. [17:54] askhader: I'm not trying to tweak it [17:54] Great. [17:54] Then you won't have any problems. [17:54] it works fine for me [17:55] i don't know right now which Nvida card i use in my laptop but it work fine [17:55] Dynamit: it depends on so many things, it's quite a frusting situation [17:56] Dynamit: some people will be fine others will have problems. [17:56] 3what is the power regressin kernel [17:56] mrdeb: no idea, never heard of that [17:58] ikonia, I cannot figure out what package has that stuff in it. I am trying a few different things but I am not finding it as most of it is for gimp [17:58] Sivik: ok [17:58] ikonia, do you have an idea? [17:58] Sivik: not without researching it myself [17:58] ok [17:59] hello can you help me? [17:59] Rikjard, what's your question? [18:00] hey impiza im multichatting lol === memee is now known as yoritomo [18:01] ubuntu is stoped and I can't do nothing [18:01] hello all [18:01] i need the serial for vmware workstation 7.1.4 for ubuntu !!!!

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:03] well thanks [18:03] I want to change permissions of a folder and all its enclosed files, from root to dexter. what about sudo chmod dexter:dexter /home/dexter/Compiled/FGFS -R? [18:03] claviusmond: sudo chown -R dexter:dexter /home/dexter/blah [18:05] thks ikonia [18:06] running linux on 4MB of ram is a bad idea [18:06] rcmaehl: no-one is doing that [18:06] ikonia: I am [18:06] ikonia: on my nintedo ds [18:06] Rikjard: if crtl-alt-F1 or ctr-alt-backspace or maybe ctrl-alt-Escape (have seen this on a system) don't work and the computer is completely frozen than you have to do the "REISUB". [18:06] rcmaehl: You need rc-linux [18:06] rcmaehl: ok - that's nothing to do with ubuntu, so not ontopic for this channel [18:07] Rikjard: so your computer is completely frozen? [18:08] how to add users from cli [18:08] claviusmond: useradd [18:08] claviusmond: use the gui is your not confident [18:08] user with admin rights [18:08] claviusmond: just needs to be in the admin group [18:09] oops [18:09] codingenesis: just needs to be in the admin group [18:09] np [18:09] codingenesis: and the command is useradd [18:09] claviusmond: sorry about that [18:09] ikonia ok [18:09] Abhijit: Hardware restart is last resort!! First you try "REISUB"! It's safer! [18:10] gisli, his keyboard was not responding at all [18:10] ikonia, np [18:10] gisli, btw tell me how to use REISUB next time i will suggest that one [18:10] did he try "REISUB"? Doesn't seem like it [18:12] gisli, no he ddnt tried it. [18:12] command for removing the user [18:12] gisli, both of us was unaware of that. please tell me how to do that? [18:12] codingenesis: userdel [18:12] codingenesis: deluser [18:12] codingenesis: again - if you're not certain, use the gui, that's what it's there for [18:12] Abhijit: You hold down 'alt' and 'sysrq' buttons and then you press R-E-I-S-U-B. Hold down each key for about 5 seconds and the system does what it can to minimize the damage a restart does and then reboots.

[18:14] gisli, okay [18:14] ya [18:14] codingenesis: the gui should be installed and enabled by default, did you disable it ?

[18:33] Hello people, I had a question regarding which version of grub to install - I have an AMD Turion 64 processor - should I be going for the grub-efi-amd64 package? I ask because it mentions in the package description that it's for "intel mac based systems"?? Really confusing...anyways, right now I have the standard grub-pc installed, but it doesn't work - whenver I start up my computer, it just loads my Win7 partition. [18:35] Also, when I try to "sudo grub", I get "comand not found"... [18:35] (even though I have grub-pc installed?) [18:38] potatoes: grub-pc is what you need [18:38] potatoes: efi is for macs or EFI based PC's (rare) [18:40] ikonia: ahh, okay. [18:40] hello [18:40] ikonia: well, I'm trying to *remove* grub-pc right now, so that I can reinstall it - I'm getting a "command not found" error when I try to run grb. === amir_ is now known as Guest32209 [18:40] potatoes: wher are you running grub from if you can't boot you machine ?

I've having an issue with sbmd (3.4.7 on 10.04); after 1024 open files (doing a copy of loads of small files) I'm getting 'Too many open files', the regular solution suggested is to up the ulimit; which I have done (/etc/security/limits.conf has root and * hard/soft nofile 10240); however even after rebooting the smbd keeps crapping out at 1024 and i cannot seem to change it (any new [18:44] shells have the limit reported at 10240) [18:44] there is an internal mic in the webcam, but when I record, the playback has no sound [18:44] eiriksvin: are you sure there is a microphone inside the webcam? [18:45] ikonia: even after running the grub-pc install and getting it to configured, I still get a "command not found error" when I type in "sudo grub" [18:45] I've also tried putting ulimit -S -n 10240 at the start of the /etc/init.d/smbd but that also seemed to make no change; Would anyone have any idea how to make my smbd listen to the ulimit setting? :/ [18:45] erik: try clicking on the speaker icon in the taskbar (upper left of the screen), then go to Sound Preferences, then under the Input tab, make sure the webcam is selected and the mute button is not checked [18:45] upper right, i meant [18:45] th0r: yes its a digital video camera [18:45] potatoes: I didn't tell you to do hat [18:45] potatoes: I just told you to type "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" [18:45] th0r: it has webcam mode [18:46] ikonia: Yeah, I said, after grub-pc installs using sudo apt-get install [18:46] ikonia: Even after that, I'm still getting "command not found" [18:46] ikonia: I could try rebooting and see if it works now though...

[18:47] its only showing rear mic, analog line in, front mic [18:47] potatoes: yes, and then you started typing other commands and thinking abou reboots [18:48] ikonia: So? Why can't I? [18:48] potatoes: if you just said "done - now what" I would have give you the next instruction [18:48] ikonia: It's not like you said anything after that.

I'm trying to find the files and documentation on what is used and how its done. [18:48] eiriksvin: hmm, in that case I don't know, sorry... perhaps rebooting might help, while your webcam is connected. I think that fixed a similar issue for me once. But I'm not sure [18:48] potatoes: but you clearly believe you know what you are doing, so good luck [18:48] ikonia: Wow, I was just brainstorming.

[18:54] I have the iso at home, I'm at work right now [18:55] ah, gotcha [18:55] I just dont have blank cds [18:55] have a usb stick?

[18:57] amir__: normally grub (the bootloader) automatically configures your grub.cfg with all available windows partitions [18:57] hello? [18:57] how can i force old P3 based computer to boot ubuntu from flash ? (when bios not support usb boot) :/ [18:58] Atomix26: yes, your having Steam problems, that sucks [18:58] Atomix26 hi :) ... what problems with steam and what emulation you use [18:58] It says: Failed to poke open firewallSteam client service installed [18:59] when I install using wine [18:59] anyone know how to install jdownloader on ubuntu [19:00] RebelKeith: do a cd /boot/grub and see whats in the menu.1st file? [19:00] you might have to add or change the partition to the proper mount point? [19:01] to be honest, i can't remember what exactly you issue was in the first place lol sorry [19:01] Atomix26, what game(s) you neet to run with steam [19:01] !appdb > winggndm [19:01] winggndm, please see my private message [19:01] !wine > Atomix26 [19:01] Atomix26, please see my private message [19:01] oops [19:01] !appdb > Atomix26 [19:01] ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:01] hello everybody [19:01] yeah ikonia ! [19:01] remsSs: hello [19:01] Hi all, is it possible to safely strip gnome and it's various parts off and have a non-DE enviroment? [19:02] hoverbear: you just want x? absolutely [19:02] there is no menu.lst [19:02] or menu.1st [19:02] hoverbear: you can run a number of desktops that are not gnome based, xfce, lxde, openbox, [19:02] RebelKeith: okay ummm... [19:02] th0r: Yeah how would I pull off gnome? [19:03] Would anyone have any idea what could cause my open-file-limit-issues with smbd? [19:03] Well, it isnt actually getting games working [19:03] lagtest [19:03] Atomix26: not all games work, check link ubottu sent you [19:03] no [19:03] I cant get the client working [19:03] hoverbear: actually I don't install it from scratch, but once you have something else running you can I assume just remove gnome-desktop. But leaving it just ties up disk space, unless you start running gnome apps [19:03] RebelKeith: Think any of this is relevent? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition [19:04] hoverbear: First, you can start by setting up an X standalone session, probably including a window manager and some type of launcher/panel [19:04] uh [19:04] hoverbear: you can install xfce4-desktop (or is it xubuntu-desktop) and then switch to xfce at the login screen. [19:04] Atomix26 on wine 1.3.22 steam works fine with minor bugs [19:04] ikonia: what exactly did he do again? [19:05] how do i get sudo ask for the root password instead for the user password? [19:05] th0r: No, I don't want gdm/kdm at all. :-P [19:05] dawcreck: Keep it in the channel please [19:05] RebelKeith: are you going to have to shrink an existing partition to make room for the new one? [19:05] ! pm | dawcreck [19:05] dawcreck: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:05] erle-, did you try your password instead of root password? [19:05] hoverbear: then you probably want to leave ubuntu behind and look at starting debian or fedora in a different run level [19:05] RebelKeith: If thats the case then you'll need to get a live cd of some kind as discussed earlier [19:05] ortsvorsteher, i want it to reject my password [19:06] th0r: Why? [19:06] anyone know how to install jdownloader on ubuntu please? [19:06] hi...i did a ntfsclone --rescue -o /media/Backup/image.backup /dev/sda1...and finished creating that file...but now...i'm unable to restore it...any idea? [19:06] erle-, did you gave root a password? [19:06] hoverbear: You can run standalone X on any distro including ubuntu just the same [19:06] ortsvorsteher, i defined one [19:06] RebelKeith: Reason being that you can't modify a partition that is mounted while the system is in use. [19:06] ortsvorsteher, su works fine [19:06] hoverbear: i agree with th0r [19:06] soreau: because ubuntu doesn't support runlevels like other distros do [19:06] can somebody please pastebin their /etc/hosts? [19:06] factotum: no, I copyed my ald 250gb hdd to this 500gb hdd, so I have 250gb unpartitioned space [19:06] *old [19:06] ortsvorsteher, sudo still asks for user password - even though the user is not in sudoers list [19:06] erle-, so you tried this password and i did'nt works? [19:06] yes [19:07] dawcreck: go to jdownloader page and download it from there or google for: jownloader ppa [19:07] th0r: Yeah doing that, thanks. [19:07] and it explicitly says it wants my user password [19:07] torl: Try copying one from your live session [19:07] and then it says i am not sudoer [19:07] this is alright [19:07] RebelKeith: oh then you should just be able to create it from the free space if you have gparted installed in the system [19:07] but i want it to ask for root password, ortsvorsteher [19:07] erle-, in this case i would boot in failsave mode... [19:07] ortsvorsteher, you don;t understand my problem [19:07] ortsvorsteher, i want to deactivate user-sudo [19:07] ortsvorsteher, i want that sudo asks for root password instead of user password [19:08] ortsvorsteher, like its normal everywhere except ubuntu [19:08] yeah, I did that before but grub wouldent start up because it pushed linux from the 3rd partition to the 4th partiton [19:08] erle-, why this? [19:09] Can comeone take a look at this interfaces file and tell me if it's misconfigured? https://gist.github.com/1073851 [19:09] RebelKeith: Hmm, not sure what to tell you there. [19:09] ortsvorsteher, because i want a strong password for root stuff, but a easy password for the user [19:09] *someone [19:09] erle-: environmentally speaking you'll be creating a lot of residual problems in doing that [19:09] hi...i did a ntfsclone --rescue -o /media/Backup/image.backup /dev/sda1...and finished creating that file...but now...i'm unable to restore it...any idea? It says its is not an image file :? [19:09] dork, but every other distro has it like that [19:09] Hello, Would someone help me with setting up a Ircd, By means with Charbdis? Please. [19:09] dork, the ubuntu case is a special configuration, it shouldnt be hard to change [19:09] erle-: ubuntu isn't oriented around that [19:10] erle-: ubuntu doesn't have root by default [19:10] is the eth0 interface nessesary here? https://gist.github.com/1073851 [19:10] OK, i tried restarting, but its a no go, so I ran: sudo lsusb -v -d 04fc:1528 [19:10] this was my out put: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9315/ [19:10] erle-: sudo passwd , sets root password [19:10] xangua, i know, and thats what i want to change [19:10] chaddy, i know, i did that [19:10] you want to defang sudo, then? [19:10] I hate bugs like this the most http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498140, something that gets broken by the distro for no good reason. because they don't like the icons that upstream chose :( and the bug has been open for well over a year [19:10] Debian bug 498140 in padevchooser "padevchooser: Preferences dialog icon broken" [Normal,Fixed] [19:10] erle-, if it is normal for you... i have no help for you in this case. cause sudo things like this i take like they work out of the box and dont waste my time to change it. [19:10] dork, ubuntu uses the same tools like any distro, if i configure sudo correctly everything should work [19:10] how can i force old P3 based computer to boot ubuntu from flash ? (when bios not support usb boot) [19:11] RebelKeith: You might want to see if there is a #gparted channel on here and ask there, Im willing to bet there is a way to avoid that problem [19:11] hi...i did a ntfsclone --rescue -o /media/Backup/image.backup /dev/sda1...and finished creating that file...but now...i'm unable to restore it...any idea? It says its is not an image file :? [19:11] ok thanks [19:11] RebelKeith: I'd love some trial and error, but I don't have a spare system to fsck up near by [19:12] hehe [19:12] erle-: yes bottom line a kernel is a kernel, so you want a strong su password and the ability to make it strong and sudoers use their own pass? [19:12] erle-: i'm trying to understand what you want to do [19:13] dork, that doesnt make anything secure, because sudoers can just change the strong pw [19:13] erle-: so why aren't you creating a chroot environment [19:13] erle-: why not jail off accounts? [19:14] easier just to remove all users from admin group? [19:15] dork, what for? [19:15] dork, i just want a stronger password for root-operations [19:15] erle-: because you're trying to give pseudo-permissions? [19:16] no, i want no suders at all, dork [19:16] and a root account with root password [19:16] hello, i would like to set up virtual hosts with DocumentRoot /home/me/Some/Path/document_root, but it keeps telling me "403" forbidden you don't have permission to access / on this server, any tip? [19:16] erle-: so don't give them root permissions? [19:16] it's not that profound [19:17] hi, everybody [19:17] dork, i want to give them root permission if they know the root password [19:17] hi shankara ! [19:17] dork, and nothing for their own password [19:17] ahh [19:17] ubuntu lucid became very slow [19:17] after using 1 and half years [19:18] join #networking [19:18] I don't know the reason, can anyone please help me [19:18] @shankara [19:18] hi [19:18] hi, ksk [19:19] can u tell me ur config [19:19] please [19:19] it is pentium quadracore and 2 gb or ram [19:19] @Shankara,Have you cleaned your system with the system tool ? [19:19] it was working fine, but, it is slow from past 2 weeks [19:19] hmm its good enough for ruuning ubuntu [19:19] :) [19:19] dude [19:20] it is a 64 bit processor. [19:20] erle-, what you try is what you already have only the taste of "how" is not what you like? [19:20] one sec please [19:20] erle-: i'm thinking, but introducing the concept to ubuntu is problematic, or any debian based distro... [19:20] ok [19:20] whats the best way to back up entire hdd? using dd ? basically I'm running an ancient pc with ubuntu 5.04 live cd and I want to back up its 1.1GB hard drive to my primary PC's drive [19:20] i got it done, ortsvorsteher dork [19:20] XOXO1: i like the amanda backup system and mysql-zrm for databases [19:20] okay [19:21] reconfiguring gtksu made some things easier [19:21] erle-: what did you do? [19:21] how did you solve this? erle- [19:21] gksu-properties can switch to su [19:21] XOXO1: ddrescue === rcmaehl is now known as superuser [19:22] one more thing. is it possible to run the live cd without gui? [19:22] XOXO1: It uses better default values, adapts reading block size to possible bad blocks and won't just die when it finds one. [19:23] it it passible to run live cd without GUI, X0X01 [19:23] XOXO1: There should be a startup menu even on Ubuntu 5.xx [19:24] dork, whenever someone responds to you I think they are insulting someone. [19:25] Alright, let's say I've got an old hard drive with a very old installation of Ubuntu on it and I'm trying to copy files off of it with a live CD Ubuntu. It says I can't copy those files because I don't have permission. How do I get permission for these files? [19:25] yeah dude [19:26] welcome back ksk [19:26] newq, copy them as root? [19:26] newq: Switch user to root. [19:26] Awesome! THANKS! :D [19:26] How do I get to root off the live CD? [19:26] It's an old live CD by the way [19:26] SharkMonkey: hehe [19:26] Jaunty Jackalope [19:26] Sorry, but I'm a Linux noob. [19:26] newq: use sudo [19:26] newq, try `sudo su` [19:26] SharkMonkey: i would see it as a compliment :P [19:26] you guys [19:27] are awesome [19:27] hi every1 [19:27] I love you all [19:27] ok, bye everyone [19:27] newq: the proper command is sudo -i, not sudo su [19:27] * newq hugs everyone here [19:27] newq: hugs aren't free [19:27] also you can use sudo -i [19:27] Mine are [19:27] lol [19:27] because I'm just awesome like that [19:27] * dork sends an invoice to newq [19:27] !ot | newq dork [19:28] newq dork: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

Apologies [19:28] i would be absolutely evil, i would have made him delete his whole hard drive with the command that is unspeakable here :p [19:28] yes yes, god forbid humality [19:28] well, my webcam gets great video, but there's no audio :( [19:28] super13: how is that an #ubuntu issue? [19:28] it's funny that you can't be human in a channel called ubuntu [19:28] dork: please drop that discussion now [19:29] oCean: will do, i would hate to point out the irony [19:29] dork, this is a high traffic channel. it can't afford a lot of idle chit chat, legitimite questions will be pushed away [19:29] Okay, so just so I'm clear....I use "sudo -i" to start nautilus or something? [19:29] eiriksvin: Check microphone input device in the sound preferences... [19:29] newq: no, sudo is for commandline, use gksu for gui applications e.g. gksu nautilus [19:30] newq: no, for any graphical app you use gksudo [19:30] gksudo or gksu work the same [19:30] minimec: it don't show my webcam, only front, analog line, and rear... but I have only the internal webcam mic [19:31] this was my out put: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9315/ [19:31] factotum: hey, I did some reading and found menu.lst was renamed to grub.cfg, but when I try to open it it says p.rmission denied [19:31] sudo lsusb -v -d 04fc:1528 [19:32] RebelKeith: Need to be root [19:32] RebelKeith: you need to edit /etc/default/grub to change configuration [19:32] eiriksvin: 'Input' tab. 'Front' cannot be in the 'input' tab. [19:33] eiriksvin: The 'input' tb should show you all recognized mic devices. [19:33] Connector: Rear Mic, Analog Line in, Front Mic [19:33] RebelKeith: but you will need root privileges to edit. For example sudo nano /etc/default/grub or in gui gksu gedit /etc/default/grub. After editing grub, run sudo update-grub [19:33] SharkMonkey: i respect your opinion but there is no chit chat allowed so please refrain from talking to me about chit chat or the fact that my name strikes as an insult to you [19:34] hi all [19:34] Choose a device for audio input: Internal Audio Analog Sterio [19:34] oops Stereo [19:34] Man, Wine is so cool. [19:34] i need some help please regarding ubuntu issue [19:35] when i d like to make some changes in any kind of config [19:35] wine would be better if it could run hardware like webcams and such [19:35] Hi Guys - need some printer support! I have an Epson R220 connected to Ubuntu. I have shared it to my Windows machine. In windows I can send a command to print a test page, but nothing else will print from Windows [19:35] What can I check? [19:36] it pops up a windows saying authentifiction faillure and then disapear [19:36] eiriksvin: The webcam mic should be listed there 'Choose a device...'. Is that a normal USB Webcam or a built in laptop Webcam/mic? [19:36] how do I connect to a vpn via terminal? [19:37] minimec it is a digital video camera that is set to webcam mode [19:37] Hi people... I'm trying to set my keybord configuration but I coud not...

Can I somehow save all my passwords and settings for wireless networks? [19:38] hi, has anyone successfully gotthe acx 111 wireless drivers working in ubuntu? [19:39] eiriksvin: If you plug the cam, what does 'dmesg tail' in a console give you. What driver is that cam using? uvcvideo? [19:39] Hi folks. I just upgraded to 11.04 and my wireless indicator applet no longer functions properly at all. When I click on it, it says "device not managed." I had to disable WPA on my AP and connect to my WLAN manually at the command line. [19:39] jnlsnl_: or just install xubutu-desktop [19:39] are the catalyst driver under ubuntu working without any problem. Do someone have a amd e-350 ? [19:39] anyone can help please?

[19:47] bullgard4: not exactly. my wireless connect is working, but my wireless applet no longer works (although I can see the wireless applet) [19:47] eiriksvin: Well if I understand that well it's a camrecorder with webcam feature, so not exactly a Webcam.

[19:56] Both files copied to vm with a full install of 10.04.2. [19:56] eiriksvin: We try to give you some help, but we don't 'need' you. If you want some help, please respect the rules we give ourselves. [19:56] guntbert: yes i do really like ubuntu and also i m using it for my cisco studies [19:57] brunner: Now, that your wireless is functioning fairly well, you could de-install NetworkManager and re-install. If this does not help, look up your network card in Launchpad errors in the bug section. [19:57] bullgard4: thank you [19:57] guntbert: i m still new to it so it might take some times to get to learn it [19:58] benny12345: take your time, If I'm not around someone else will step in ...

[20:11] Hello, having some issues with an HP 2740p and Ubuntu 11.04. I just installed and when I try to boot I get a blank screen. I can tell the system is booting, but I'm just not getting any video from it. Any suggestions? [20:11] arch_adam: try booting with nosplash for an option [20:11] th0r, what file do i need to edit for that? [20:12] arch_adam: at the grub menu at boot, you can 'edit' the boot line. Just type the word 'nosplash' and press Enter [20:13] arch_adam: edit should be one of the options at the bottom of the screen during the 8 second delay at bootup [20:13] th0r, i do not see the grub menu, do i need to press a button to get into it [20:13] Hello [20:14] arch_adam, right after thr bios scrn , hold down the shift key [20:14] til the grub menu appears [20:14] BluesKaj, ok thanks, will try now :-) [20:14] tap the shift key like a woodpecker drinking coffee.. :) [20:14] What do you do when you put a ubuntu 11.04 liveCD in a desktop and it boots to this login screen? It's supposed to prompt me to install but instead gives me a login screen and denies authentication for anything I try. Is there some kind of default login for this ? [20:15] thisismygame_, ive seen badly burnt cd's do that. [20:15] thisismygame_, the user should be 'ubuntu' with no password i think [20:19] guntbert: are you still there? [20:19] benny12345: yes [20:19] guntbert: how can i see the nic card of my motherboard [20:20] benny try lspci | grep -i net [20:22] guntbert: Thanks, i have many nic on my pc , ho can i know which port belongs to which card (eth0 is HP card for example) [20:23] ckserv identify 0ae324c0 [20:23] westz: ... [20:24] my opened window not closing [20:24] ? [20:24] crap [20:24] it dumped me straight into the channel.... freaking xchat >.< [20:25] Does Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" use Gnome? [20:25] haux: Yes. [20:25] Do you know what the latest version is that uses Gnome? Before they switched to Unity... [20:25] haux: But that release is no longer supported. [20:26] haux: the latest version is also using gnome [20:26] haux: 10.10? Maverick? [20:26] benny12345: I don't know at the moment, why do you want to know? [20:26] haux: just choose "ubuntu classic" [20:27] haux: newest gtk2 compatible ubuntu is natty 11.04. They only switched the default WM to Unitiy... [20:27] Where do you select Ubuntu classic? [20:27] guntbert: to see if something wrong with one of my nic card [20:27] well the wm is 'compiz' unity is the launcher part of the desktop [20:27] !classic [20:27] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [20:27] haux: Logout/Login and choos a different session type. [20:27] haux, at the gdm login screen.. enter your name. then a menu shows up [20:27] which is a bit backwards in ways.... [20:28] nosplash give me an error of unknown command [20:28] is there any other way? [20:28] arch_adam, its a grub option. not a command... [20:28] dr_willis, could you please tell me where i exactly place it? [20:28] edit /etc/default/grub , or the grub line. and replace 'quiet splash' with 'noquite nosplash' [20:28] Thanks. I'll go check it out now. I installed 11.04 the other day and ... Unity kind of blows. Takes twice as long to accomplish simple tasks. I was considering reverting back to 9.10, since I remember that being an awesome version. But if I can use Gnome in 11.04 maybe that will work too. [20:29] Has anyone with mdadm experimented using superblocks other than version 0.9? I'm converting a RAID1 to RAID5 through some raid games (which will be convenient by stick at version 0.9) and was wondering if it was worth switching to version 1? [20:29] arch_adam, at boot time from the grub menu - you can hit e to 'edit' a specific grub entry [20:29] arch_adam, for perment changes.. edit /etc/default/grub [20:30] dr_willis: Yea. That was the first boot. NOW i get SQUASHFS error unable to read fragment; SQUASHFS error unable to read page, block idle 7569 [20:30] annoying [20:30] thisismygame_, sounds like bad cd/iso/burn squashfs is the initial boot filesystem it uses to launch the rest of the os. [20:30] guntbert: what ubuntu version are you using?, and what do you think about the last ubuntu release ? i m still using 10.10 and i m hesitating to upgrade [20:30] dr_willis: i see. well, a reburn it is [20:30] actually [20:31] thisismygame_, i always use usb disks. [20:31] dr_willis: how [20:31] okay, im leaving my laptop with someone else for a while, and i made them a new account on it, but i dont want the to be able to access my home folder, how can i set that up? [20:31] The PenDriveLinux web site has tools to do it. or use unetbootin [20:31] benny12345: thats off topic in a support channel, you can talk about that in #ubuntu-offtopic though [20:31] dr_willis: brilliant thank you [20:31] theres a doZen + ways to make a bootable flashdrive. [20:31] will check into it [20:32] i dont think i want to do the typical ubuntu install. this particular machine is going to be a workstation in a doctor's office. I know there are a few official 'distros' that are minimal installs.. linux mint i think is one. I've also done a install of minimal ubuntu, and built that up with a gui and all [20:32] benny12345: maybe not completely off topic, but whe opinions are involved... [20:32] guntbert: ok, understood [20:32] *when [20:32] mint is not a minimal install [20:33] I'd just like to use something thats fast because most of these machines are a little older (pentium 4 old) [20:33] dr_willis: oh, my mistake [20:33] thisismygame_, and mint is not ubuntu 'official' - You may want to check into Lubuntu - if yiu need somthing light and simple. [20:33] Lubuntu would be a good pick for a old machine. [20:34] its using LXDE. which is fairly easy to figure out. [20:34] thisismygame_, linux mint debian is a relatively quick light distro === matt_ is now known as Guest42689 [20:34] it all depends on what the pc is supposed to do. :) [20:35] dr_willis: yea i installed lxde when I followed this dude's guide http://wiki.dennyhalim.com/ubuntu-minimal-desktop [20:35] dr_willis, true. [20:35] as ubuntu is not rolling release, to upgrade does it mean i need to re install everytime a new cycle gets released? [20:35] Ive been using Lubuntu + Avant-window-navigator for a little extra features.. works well [20:35] arch_adam_, you can upgrade to the next reelase. [20:36] dr_willis, without the need to format , reinstall? [20:36] dr_willis: i used avant back in its infancy. was pretty buggy [20:36] I find it easier to keep /home/ on its own partition. and do clean installs.. but i DO tend to beta-test the next reelase.. so often i get very cluttered systems [20:36] what about now [20:36] I like wattOS :) [20:36] arch_adam_, upgrade.. no fomatting needed === superuser is now known as next_person [20:36] Its lighter, and functional and based on ubuntu (LXDE, etc) [20:36] thisismygame_, try it and see.. i have more uissues with Unity then i do 'AWN' [20:36] I am a little biased however :) === next_person is now known as rcmaehl [20:37] dr_willis, i still get funny bars on the boot up, any ideas what else this could be? [20:37] can i make it so a specific user cannot sudo a filesystem, but can install stuff? [20:37] arch_adam_, prob. Plymouth goofing up... system boots to gdm fine? or not? [20:37] dr_willis, yes boots to gdm fine [20:38] westz, 'sudo a filessystem' ? [20:38] westz, yes. But then that person could just install something he made that would give them access to do anything [20:38] arch_adam_, try the 'noquiet nosplash' options to diasable plymouth.. I hate plymouth [20:38] carandraug, not likely, it's my technophobe grandmother [20:39] dr_willis, use sudo or gksudo to access my home folder i mean [20:39] westz, yet still again do you now how many internet java games exist that can be made to exploit a system.... [20:40] westz, oh, ok! In that case, you can edit the sudoers file in a way to allow a user to run apttitude as root but not other programs [20:40] lapion, my 60 year old grandmother isnt going to exploit it, i just dont want her to be able to get into my home folde [20:40] carandraug, perfect [20:40] Hello. Is there a mechanism of restarting/reloading the video drivers/modules in Ubuntu 10.04 without restarting the system? [20:40] carandraug, that's visudo to edit sudoers right? [20:41] * lapion is not saying your 60 year grandma is going to exploit it, just thats the way others gain access to your system thru the nice game your gradma wants to install........... of that nice webpage with horsies [20:41] dr_willis, i have set those options in grub but still the same [20:42] lapion, im not expecting her to be able to use wine to install those games, and she doesnt play them online, she'll probably just use it for media === TSG_ is now known as TSG [20:44] i think i'm just going to upload my home folder, and format/fresh install 10.04 i'll fix it up again when i get back... [20:44] westz, why instal 10.04 ? [20:45] ok probably due to lts . [20:45] lapion, because i dont like 11.04, and 10.10 isnt much better than lucid, and i like the lts [20:46] tbh i'm probably switching back to Arch when i get it back so it doesnt really matter to me if she wrecks it [20:47] westz, try booting into recovery mode and reconfiguring X in safemode-x [20:47] lapion, what? why? [20:47] westz, yes. you se visudo to do it. I believe there's some examples on the file to do it [20:48] Hello. When I try to open a game in Wine, i get this message: ALSA lib ../../../src/seq/seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied [20:48] Engine destroyed... [20:48] /dev/snd/seq [20:48] What is in there? it looks lie a sound issue, ? [20:48] Osmodivs: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:48] carandraug, thanks, but i'm probably just reinstalling. i wanna make sure i wipe all my saved passwords and all [20:48] sorry westz that one was meant for arch_adam [20:48] lapion, gotcha' [20:48] I am NOT flooding!! [20:48] Osmodivs, depends on the game.. and thers wine config options to tweak sound settings. [20:49] westz, just creat a new administrator user, delete the old one.. etc etc [20:49] dr_willis: But why does it says Permission Denied? Do I have to run it as root? [20:49] Osmodivs, perhaps there is no /dev/snd/seq [20:50] you could alwasy set the wine settings to use no sound. and see if the game runs.. (what game is this) you did check the wine app database? [20:50] dr_willis: There is. A hollow file [20:51] #ubuntu, [20:51] have you ever stolen panties? [20:52] Hawthorne: do you have a support question? [20:52] yeah [20:52] will I be able to boot ubuntu on a mac without rEFIt? [20:53] I have a install.sh i wish to make usable... [20:53] Hawthorne: I remember I always wanted to steel my neighbor's thongs, they where there, hanging, waiting to e robed [20:53] chmod or something... [20:53] chmod +x install.sh [20:53] Osmodivs: please stay on topic [20:53] I have a firewall I just upgraded from karmic to lucid. This is console-only, no X. While booting up, grub starts in 640x480, then it switches to the purple ubuntu screen, and after about 5 seconds on that screen, the resolution changes to something like 1280x1024. The text is way too small to read on a 17" screen, and I can't seem to find what is changing my resolution or how to correct this. [20:54] Shdwdrgn, framebuffer settings perhaps. You could try the 'text' option. it might tell the system to stay in a low res console screen. Ive never tried it on a server [20:54] !text [20:54] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [20:55] I think 'text' mode disables plymouth, the framebuffers, and gdm [20:55] theres also various framebuffer mode tweaking tools like 'fbmode' or 'fbset' that can tweak things. if you want to try to get a nicer looking framebuffer console scree [20:56] ok I'll give that a shot. Any idea WHY it has decided to change screen resolutions on this system, when all my other servers stay in 640x480 without changes? [20:56] anybody know of a good package for lightscribe? [20:56] slimjimflim, theres some Ligjhtscribe tools in the repos I recall. and the luightscribe homepage at one time - had some linux tools i used. like 2+ yrs ago... [20:57] also of note... I did make the changes to grub2 to specify I wanted to stay at 640x480, but apparently those settings are ignored? [20:57] I liked lightscribe.. but i hated the time it took to make the labels. :) [20:57] dr_willis: yea, apt-cache search gave me nothing, do you remember the package name? [20:57] how long does it take? [20:57] Shdwdrgn, you did do a update-grub after editing the grub config fikles. [20:57] slimjimflim, not really. ive not used LS disks in ages.. [20:58] i'm making cds of myself to sell to fans, so it's worth a little time [20:58] Is there any way to get colors dpkg output? [20:58] Hello, I'm having some trouble installing Ubuntu 11.04 on a macbook pro. [20:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe [20:59] dr_willis, I did my upgrade with grub1 running. After seeing the problem, I switched to grub2, so all the config files are defaults [20:59] dr_willis: yea i got the deb now thx [20:59] im having a problem executing a program. i type ./program_name and it says "no such file or directory" any ideas? === vDubG__Gone is now known as vDubG [20:59] looks like its not in the repos yet slimjimflim :) [21:00] bobdole, is it executable? [21:00] bobdole, spelling name wrong, or its not executablwe. or its currupted.. or its for the wrong arch [21:00] i am in the directory where the binary exists [21:00] i did a chmod a+x on it [21:00] use the tab key to complate the name. [21:00] i did tab complete [21:00] bobdole, can you pastebin ls -l? [21:00] it worked on one computer but not the other [21:01] I have a install.sh i wish to make usable... [21:01] chmod or something... [21:02] kv102t: sh install.sh [21:02] kv102t, Someone allready sayd 'chmod +x install.sh' then './instasll.sh' or 'sh install.sh' [21:02] kv102t, what do you mean usable? You mean executable? chmod a+x /path-to-file [21:02] hello [21:02] it has rwxrwxrwx on the file [21:03] where can I talk about music software? [21:03] binary* [21:03] whenever i try to go to www.google.com my isp does a redirect to their dnssearch [21:03] bobdole, pastebin the whole thing please [21:04] agu10^, can be here, depends on what you want to ask [21:04] Hi.I have a corrupted USB. Ubuntu doesn`t recognize at all.Which i wish to perform badblock.Is there any way to manually mount it.Thanks.:) [21:04] ok back again... dr_willis: yes I did update-grub after adding "text" to the config. My system comes up to the purple "Ubuntu 10.04" screen in 640x480, the first dot changes color, then it switches to a much higher screen-res, and all my console logins are at that higher resolution. Adding "text" to grub made no difference. [21:05] Is there any way to get colors dpkg output? [21:05] You do not mount a device that you're running badblocks on. [21:05] The ubuntu disk is hanging right after the window with the little guy at the bottom. I cannot get the install to even start on this macbook. [21:05] I need to understand how audio cards use DSPs, and wether any music program really uses them [21:05] I know [21:05] But it isnt recognized at all [21:05] hey I have a quick question about ubuntu server [21:05] It gives me a blinking command prompt [21:05] !ask | kiichiro [21:05] kiichiro: 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. :-) [21:06] carandraug: http://pastebin.com/j1f1EnjJ [21:06] Shdwdrgn, thats weird.. the text option here.. totally disables the Plymouth dot animations.. i dont even see them. or any color changes. [21:07] Shdwdrgn, i also alter the /etc/default/grub file to use a text based menu for grub.. let me pastebinit [21:07] looking for a good newsgroup solution for linux. Im running 11.04 natty, unity 2d. Trying to switch over all my daily things i do to linux. Ive installed hellanzb which is a text newsgroup client. The sample conf file doesn't exist. I downloaded zussaweb a php script in a tar.gz. Its now extracted but it leaves me with a couple folders and multiple .php files. [21:07] dr_willis, ok thanks [21:07] Can we ask questions about asking questions? [21:07] I've tried following this, but it has no info about the hanging problem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation [21:07] Shdwdrgn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/640953/ [21:07] what do i do next to install those php scripts so that i can use the web interface queue manager and nzb etc.. [21:08] Hawthorne: this channel is for ubuntu support only, so rather not please [21:08] I am wondering what program I can use to virtually run ubuntu server, I tried vmware player and it just pretty much did nothing for me except give me dr.dos and I tried VMware server and uploaded the iso and just got a blank screen. [21:08] So the system doesn see the usb at all any suggestion [21:08] kiichiro, most pople like virtualbox. [21:08] but you just answered my question about asking questions about asking questions... [21:08] kiichiro, and it pays to read the docs for these vm systems. [21:08] kiichiro another vote for virtualbox. [21:08] i just confused myself [21:09] !ot | Hawthorne [21:09] Hawthorne: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:09] sup non windows users [21:09] dr_willis, ok I'll give that a shot in a moment... what bugs me though is that since it reaches the ubuntu startup screen in 640x480, wouldn;t that indicate something within ubuntu, rather than grub, is responsible for changing the resolution? [21:09] alright I'll give that a try, I've used vmware player dozens of times, I will try virtual box next. [21:09] bobdole, can you touch the file for example? You said you chmod the file before. So the problem is only when you try to execute it? [21:09] Shdwdrgn, theres some console config service that sets the font and other things i recall.. [21:09] within grub, vbeinfo tells me the screen is already set to 640x480x32 [21:09] Wantstolearn: how are you checking that the system doesn't see it? [21:09] no one in here uses a newsgroup client that manages nzbs with ubuntu? [21:10] Shdwdrgn, /etc/init/console-setup.conf [21:10] is it correct to upgrade blackbuntu to 11.04 v ? [21:10] dr_willis, got it, but the file is identical to my other servers [21:10] when i peform df -h it not even listed there [21:10] No Mac love....ok [21:11] dr_willis, something of interest from dmesg... fb: conflicting fb hw usage radeondrmfb vs EFI VGA - removing generic driver [21:11] Wantstolearn: when you plug it in, do 'dmesg | tail' - you should see something about it there [21:12] ? [21:12] Currently running 11.04 in virtual box. Last couple times i installed Linux along side windows grub ended up jacking up my boot record, is there anyway to use the windows bootmanager without installing via wubi? [21:12] Shdwdrgn, somthiong going on with the framebuffer it seems. [21:12] i type df -h [21:12] and only list my 3 hdd [21:12] Wantstolearn, so are the others mounted somewhere? [21:13] no [21:13] just when i plug the usb [21:13] nothing is recognized [21:13] redeyyez, i tend to install ubuntu on its own partitions and let it handle the bootloading.. i find wubi problematic [21:13] the usb is not recognized [21:13] Wantstolearn, i think df -h, only shows mounted filesystem info. [21:13] mount the usb by hand perhaps [21:14] Hello,is there any way to make run Philips SPC210NC webcam? [21:14] How ? [21:14] !mount [21:14] mount is used to attach devices to directories.

I verified that /etc/sysctl.d/10-console-messages.conf has the kernel.printk setting uncommented, I'm not sure what else to check to stop the kernel messages from showing on the console?

[21:16] in the /media directory [21:16] there are only my 3 hdd [21:16] when i use this command bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ sudo chown bipul /var/www/ [21:16] no usb [21:16] I think that my webcam is not support....what i can do in that case [21:16] Is there any way to get colors dpkg output? [21:17] bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ pwd [21:17] /home/bipul <-- i got this === reprapperMC2 is now known as reprapperMC [21:17] although that it run with XawTV,but it can't run with Scype [21:18] when i use this command bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ sudo chown bipul /var/www/ i got this result bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ pwd /home/bipul [21:18] mi6ail1234: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams [21:19] Wantstolearn, and what does 'sudo fdisk -l' show? more then 3? [21:19] Bipul: what do you expect "chown bipul /var/www" to do? [21:19] what sort of hd shiows up as /dev/hd?? in this day and age anyway.. shuld be /dev/sdxx [21:19] lsusb [21:19] output [21:20] a usb hd shoul;d definatly be showing up as /dev/sd## [21:20] http://pastebin.com/muj9ES9P [21:20] oCean, That will allow me to plod a file [21:20] uplode * [21:20] sudo fdisk -l [21:20] output [21:20] #Partyline [21:21] Bipul: so what is your actual question? Why are you showing us the output of pwd command? [21:21] I think the normal way is to use 'groups' to allow access to the /var/www/ dir. [21:21] http://pastebin.com/M6vLAfHJ [21:21] oCean, but i shud suppose to move in www directory [21:21] im acttualy checking dev/sdb [21:21] so dont look at that [21:22] Bipul: "pwd" returns your current directory. "cd /var/www" changes your current directory [21:22] can someone help me set up ubuntu server on virtual box? I've never used a server OS before let alone dr.dos [21:22] usb is 2 gb [21:22] oh yes [21:22] kiichiro, why are you using the server os then? what sort of help? if you want to learn bash.. theres numerous guides out there. [21:22] anyone running unity have all their windows in all their workspace suddenly combine into a single workspace? [21:23] it's happened to me several times and for no reason that i can determine. [21:23] oCean, actully i wants to install this file in my webserver [21:23] but i am new to it [21:23] tauren, i would guess a compiz crash of some kind. [21:23] dr_willis: Unity != Compiz [21:23] I am making a server for my game, server os's I believe use bare minimum, I am trying to figure out how to actually boot into the ubuntu server os. I believe the problem is it's not finding a formated partition on the virtual disc. [21:24] i runed dmsg [21:24] minimec, i saw it my device ID and then what i can do [21:24] dmesg [21:24] and before I get attacked for wanting to make my computer a server just for a game it is also future job experience material. [21:24] so my problem is i dont know my device name [21:24] dr_willis: yeah, something must be crashing. would like to figure out what. [21:24] of my usb [21:24] uuid [21:24] kiichiro, the virtualbox docs are fairly well done.. and the vbox wizard makes it easy to get going. I doubt if you will notice any differance in the desktop vs server edition inside vbox. You could always just not start X when you dont need it. [21:25] Wantstolearn, and how big is the USB? [21:25] 2 gb [21:25] tauren: Have you submitted a bug report? [21:25] wasddddddd [21:25] Disk /dev/sdc: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes sdc is 2gb in size... [21:25] is it correct to upgrade blackbuntu to 11.04 v ? [21:25] or was that tb [21:25] hoverbear: not yet, i'd like to find some info to include in it first. [21:25] * dr_willis missreads [21:25] no gb [21:25] but not sure where to begin. [21:26] is it correct to upgrade blackbuntu to 11.04 v ? [21:26] 2tb is my hdd [21:26] 1 tb [21:26] hdd [21:26] and 64 gb ssd [21:26] is it correct to upgrade blackbuntu to 11.04 v ? [21:26] is it correct to upgrade blackbuntu to 11.04 v ? [21:26] tauren: I'd assume it has to do with either some hidden hotkey, or the virtual workspace manager having issues [21:26] pablo_, never herd of that variant... you normally DONT upgrade ubuntu variants to ubuntu... [21:26] pablo_: Repetition does not yeild results. [21:27] anyone know if gparted can resize encrypted partitions (eg. luks) yet? [21:27] hoverbear: I also find that when I reboot, sometimes the update manager pops up during shutdown, as if it had already been open, but was hidden from all my workspaces. [21:27] So FIRST -How do i identify my device- [21:28] is there any easy way to install LAMP [21:28] Wantstolearn, if fdisk -l, is not showing it.. i would almost think its a bad device. or the usb port is faulty [21:28] device is not bad all ports are working [21:28] usb is just corrupted [21:28] Wantstolearn, also you should be able to plyg it in and run 'dmesg' a few times over the course of a few moments time. and see it detect and give it a sd## name [21:28] corrupted how... [21:28] i made a bootable usb in win [21:29] to patch my hdd to newest firmware [21:29] hoverbear: I wonder if this syslog error could be related: [21:29] Jul 9 14:17:22 godzilla udevd-work[8271]: 'udisks-part-id /dev/sdc' unexpected exit with status 0x000b [21:29] happened around the same time.

[22:22] When I boot an individual nfsroot client, it boots just fine. When I bring up 15 at once, some have problems at the second DHCP phase where it times out. The DHCP requests are getting to the server and the server is responding with DHCP offers, but they never seem to make it to the client. It appears to affect the clients semi-randomly as in sometimes they work instantly, and sometimes not. Any suggestions on how to fix this or where to go for [22:23] the people in #phpmyadmin have been unresponsive for 48 hours now - i'm beginning to wonder... [22:23] but i mean for all packages and updates when i test new versions ... can i just setup this folder /var/cache/apt/archives to keep not 3 but 10 previous releases , as example ? [22:23] ok founr a possible solution gonna create my own [22:23] udevadm rule [22:23] :( [22:24] ikonia, that got my gui up but I'm having this same problem.

[22:25] Malgorath: one step at a time, you swapped the card out, removing nvidia from xorg sets it back to "fail safe" you now need to configure it again with your new card [22:26] ikonia, how do I remove the nvidia drivers, I install them through the hardware detector [22:27] Malgorath: why do you want to remove them ? [22:27] Malgorath: you've already disabled them [22:27] Cause i took the nvidia card out [22:27] i have an issue with ssh, i can connect without problems from my pc1 to my pc2, but not the opposite [22:27] Malgorath: they are fine as they are, disabled [22:28] ikonia, okay, then it wont let me go above 1024x768 and I'm sure the onboard supports higher then that [22:28] tiago__ try ssh -v in the non-working direction and see what it gives you. [22:28] ikonia, could it be the monitor is not detected now and knows its higher then that? [22:28] Malgorath: what is the onboard card ? [22:28] redmop: OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 [22:28] and the usage parameters [22:29] tiago__ my bad.

[23:12] helpplz: yes - you might try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get the codecs you need [23:12] svchost1, it works fine here.\ [23:12] k [23:12] svchost1, what is the host [23:13] svchost1, sure it does. likely if you want 3d then no [23:13] you mean vbox ON ubuntu? or ubuntu IN vbox on windows? [23:13] helpplz: wow i havent seen needing bincodecs in ages! vlc or extra-gstreamer-packages has always done what ive needed! [23:13] enyc: or gstreamer - yup [23:13] i dont want 3d [23:13] just flash [23:13] enyc, yea i was thinking that also.. i use vlc. and rarely need Medubuntu these days [23:13] helpplz: what are you needing the binary codecs for out of interest? [23:13] Ampelbein: they are both in the same network connected by wifi, how can start openssh wi\th debug|? [23:13] its a virtual machine. im not using it to game on :-P [23:13] svchost1, then install it [23:13] flash works well for me here.. :) but i dont do a lot of flashing [23:13] what do you mean, whats the host? [23:14] what os? [23:14] svchost1, you mean vbox ON ubuntu? or ubuntu IN vbox on windows? [23:14] what is the main operating system [23:14] svchost1, ubuntu is in the vbox, correct? [23:14] dr_willis: tmi ;-) [23:14] ubuntu is the guest OS, win7 is the host os [23:14] Ampelbein, Lemme reboot [23:14] tiago__: 'sudo service ssh stop && sudo /bin/sshd -p 22 -D -d -e' [23:14] and you run VBox as administrator hope so :) [23:14] install unbuntu [23:14] maybe dualboot [23:15] i may get two 24 inch monitors soon [23:15] if i do that, i may use an old pc as a linux machine non virtualized [23:15] and get a keyboard/mouse switcher [23:15] svchost1, Vbox with or without addons CD ? [23:16] i believe i had to use something from the addons cd [23:16] to get the proper resolution [23:16] Guest additions. [23:16] tiago__: ups, the second command should be 'sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -p 22 -D -d -e' [23:16] ok [23:16] yeah [23:16] 64 mb video 2d and 3d enabled ? [23:16] possibly, idk [23:16] 64mb video? ewww... [23:17] it doesnt matter.. i just use it for surfing porn [23:17] lol [23:17] Thats old scool. [23:17] oO [23:17] :_D [23:17] omg [23:17] hello! I need help... How do I enable search as you type in Nautilus? It stopped working with Natty [23:17] i dont do that crap on windows.. im not crazy [23:17] flash is flash not matter what you will look .. it's must works :)) [23:17] if i could get a flash downloader that would work, id just download it and play it in a video player [23:18] crap never works [23:18] crap does just gotta push lmao [23:18] flash downloader to get porn? [23:18] jk [23:18] use downloadhelper 4 forefox [23:18] *firefox [23:19] Can we get back to Ubuntu support and stop highlighting me with the porn please [23:19] yes. if i got it on my pc, i could just play it in a player that wouldnt crash when i fullscreen [23:19] hey .. I need the correct package (lib) for amd64 so I can run the binary files on my system now Im getting No such file or directory [23:19] um... [23:19] do you have a highlight set for porn? [23:19] try ... install adons CD in save mode, click on 2d and 3d enabled, give 64 video memory to the VM and more than 512 ram, install restricted extras in ubuntu [23:19] any reason why search-as-you-type in nautilus wouldn't be working? [23:19] svchost1: you will know if I decide to remove you for it [23:19] :) [23:19] some flash download helper tools only work with specific sites. i grab a few youtube videos for the kids. They like that silly gummibear videos. Ive not noticed one that works for all sites.. but I DO think theres some that scan your firefox cache and can save flash you have watched,. [23:20] lol, i was just asking.. sorry mn [23:20] man* [23:20] svchost1, try other pornsite :)) it's may be bugged [23:20] lol, its all flash === andy_ is now known as Guest95692 [23:20] including youtube [23:20] who are you? [23:21] Youtube can do html5 these days [23:21] try googling windows media porn :)) [23:21] for most videos they got at least [23:21] doesn't downloadhelper work 4 u? [23:21] youtube doesnt have adult videos [23:21] so that doesnt help me [23:22] eversince emp-rnium shut down, ive been like a wandering.. lost.. person.. not knowing where to go [23:22] i miss the good old Emp [23:22] Yukinoroh, ive never noticed any search-as-you-type feature.. where are you seeing this at? or used to.... === st0n3 is now known as c0d3f47h3r [23:23] shoot I found a bug report about my issue [23:23] fakeraid over 2TB [23:24] www.fantasti.cc - all your porn needs [23:24] no more jokes in tech channels i promise :) [23:24] hey is possible to get windows 7 iso on 4gb usb stick? [23:25] ubuntufreak21, ask in #windows is the iso smaller tjhen 4gb? most likely can.. [23:25] IdleOne: that ban's redundant with the FloodBot's [23:25] ubuntufreak21, ive heard you can dd the iso to a flash. [23:25] show me how please [23:26] rww: yeah [23:26] Ampelbein, Okay, we ran it and blaclisted the modules they told us too, it appears to work untill we rebooted, it said "device not ready", so we rebooted, and now it dosent work at all [23:26] dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdXX bs=2048 [23:26] fail! [23:26] DONT make typos with dd.. be sure you understand what device youa re dding to and from [23:26] ubuntufreak21: if you don't know how to use dd, please don't use it. you WILL trash your data. [23:27] a typo with dd.. can be bad,. === davidm777 is now known as DavidAtHome [23:27] whats dd? [23:27] plus i dont know for a FACT taht you can dd a win7 iso that way.. ive heard you can.. ask in #windows [23:28] gpenney736: and you used the script at http://www.dirk-hoeschen.de/temp/rtl819Xe.tar.gz ? [23:28] or read msdn :) [23:28] WTF thats not about windows here... [23:28] but win7 iso is obout 2 gigs [23:28] I do know that using dd on a ubuntu ( or variant) iso to a flash drive will not make a bootable flash drive [23:28] Ampelbein, Yea. [23:28] Grrr, dmraid is pissing me the hell off [23:29] gpenney736: then I have no idea unfortunately. [23:29] Ampelbein, Alright :/ [23:29] Question concerning CCSM if anyone is up for it. [23:29] dr_willis: you need a bootloader, too. === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [23:30] Ampelbein, it seems some Linux Distro's have their ISOS setup where you can just dd them to a flash.. I have never figured out how they are doing it differntly. [23:30] dr_willis, Ampelbein: Awesome fact: from oneiric onwards, Ubuntu ISOs can be dd'd to flash drives :D [23:31] any clues as to why I'm being asked to unlock my keyring *three times* every login? [23:31] rww, i saw people on askubuntu.com just the other day trying it with 11.04 and it was failing for them [23:31] how do I add stuff to the ubuntu launcher??? [23:31] dr_willis, oneiric is the next one [23:31] dr_willis: 11.04 isn't "oneiric onwards" :P [23:31] rww: hybrids! \o/ [23:31] 11.10 not 11.04 [23:31] rww, so its nice to be able tell them 'comming soon' ) [23:31] ah. indeed! [23:31] i2iot, search for it the usual way, then drag the icon over [23:32] best new feature of oneiric, imho. anyways... [23:32] LogicallyDashing, I tried that, its a loader I created myself to pull up a website [23:32] the question still is to me.. what is differnt on the isos that you cant do it now? [23:32] i2iot, you mean a launcher? [23:32] I need help getting on the right path: Say I have remote_server and local_server. On the remote server i have a directory called /share . on local_server i have a directory called /local_share. I want the files on the local_server to be listed in the same directory as the remote_server:/share. is this possible? [23:32] Yes [23:32] rww, means i can dd an iso to my hard drive. and have a emergancy boot system :) [23:33] i need to pee [23:33] LogicallyDashing: you are probably suffering from bug 744929 [23:33] Launchpad bug 744929 in gnome-keyring (Ubuntu Natty) "After auto-login, prompted to unlock keyring multiple times" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/744929 [23:33] i2iot, huh, it's not working for me either. weird [23:34] It acts like it wants to, but doesn't [23:34] which BIN file is used to run binary files on 64amd system? :( [23:34] The desktop is okay i guess [23:34] bobdole you want the directiories 'merged' ? normally you mount somtbning and it shows up in a directory whever you are mounting it to.. anithing In that directory will be 'hidden' untill the device is unmounted [23:34] m_fulder: define "run binary files" [23:34] m_fulder: because there's no "BIN" file that runs binaries [23:35] m_fulder: there's libraries that control running of programs from 32bit and 64bit [23:35] bobdole: basically merged. but i dont want the local_server files to be synced with remote_server. i just want them to be available [23:35] i2iot, as a work around, create a new launcher to an application and not a location; the application is firefox, followed by a space, and then the url you want [23:35] lol to myself [23:35] bobdole, there are some 'fuse' filesystem tools i belive that can make a 3rd location that is a merger of 2 (or more) other locations.. [23:35] TheEvilPhoenix I ment I can't run binary files now I get the error message ./steam: No such file or directory...I remember I had same problem before and solved it by installing some lib for my 64bit system [23:35] i have the servers on VPN [23:35] bobbyd, unionfs i think is one name. [23:35] i2iot, and you might want to use a different icon [23:35] bobdole, unionfs i think is one name. [23:36] m_fulder: yeah lemme see if i can find the script that finds those [23:36] m_fulder: sec [23:36] LogicallyDashing, Sweet thanks! [23:36] i2iot, yw [23:36] LogicallyDashing, Its for adrive.com [23:36] ok dr_willis. i will look that up. thanks for helping me get on a path [23:36] TheEvilPhoenix thanks I really can't find the correct package I installed before :( [23:36] i was stuck trying to figure it out [23:36] LogicallyDashing, They have like 50gb of free online storage [23:36] bobdole, the fuse homepage has a list of a lot of very very neat fuse fs's for fancy tricks [23:37] i2iot, thanks i guess, but now I feel a little like a mark [23:37] m_fulder: steam is a windows application, do you have 'wine' installed? [23:37] bobdole, whats amuseing is YEARS ago on my AMigaOS - it had a virtually identical feature. a 'path' device.. :) [23:37] m_fulder: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [23:37] that'll work [23:37] LogicallyDashing, whats a mark? does it have something to do with a john? [23:37] m_fulder: package name is ia32-libs i think [23:37] i2iot, similar [23:37] Hey. Do any of you have experience with blackbox? The style I set in blackboxrc isn't loading. [23:37] pretty certain [23:37] i2iot, I just mean the way you put that makes it sound like someone paid you to come in here and advertise [23:38] Ampelbein how do you know I want to run steam :P running /.steam through wine is not recommended at all :P will just slow it down .. TheEvilPhoenix I think that's it!!! :D [23:38] steam works ok in wine.. now some of the games... that can be a challange [23:38] prefect TheEvilPhoenix :D thanks for your help! :D [23:38] dr_willis: thanks again... i will read into those. if i can get this to work it will save me tons of server space for some of these random files [23:38] i2iot, you're still welcome though :b [23:39] bobdole, theres also soft and hard links that are commonly uswed to make 'merged' directories [23:39] m_fulder: note that if you installed Windows' steam, you still can't run that through the linux environment - you'll need Wine to do that [23:40] that wasn't for steam client .. I need to run my server :) [23:40] your server? [23:40] I use ./steam command to run srcds server .. not steam client :P [23:40] ah ok [23:40] so i just came home with a brand new 16g usb flash drive, stick it in a usb port (11.04), ..and nothing, usb ports work for everything else (mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc) [23:41] Dude i need a help [23:41] Bipul, with what [23:41] semarjt - format it. [23:41] jax i don't even see it [23:41] any one know some application that can be installed in my ubuntu web server for vido confreincing [23:42] semarjt - lspci shows your usb ports? [23:42] i want to conduct a video confreincing in my webserver that is being hosted on my ubuntu Os [23:42] when i go to administrative => disk utility, there is nothing under peripherals [23:42] Bipul, dont repeat so quickly [23:42] jax, yes [23:43] Bipul: ekiga has video conference support [23:43] the output of lsusb: http://pastebin.com/JCqw1Uva [23:43] Ampelbein, you know how to install [23:43] LogicallyDashing, lol... not the case... i now see they blow because you can't use ftp or a desktop tool with the free acct, and you can't even use their web applet with linux! [23:43] semarjt - what about runing lsusb [23:44] Bipul, using a webcam? how does a server relate to this [23:44] the output of lsusb: http://pastebin.com/JCqw1Uva [23:44] semarjt: type 'sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog' and plugin the stick please. [23:44] like any one can see his face when he open my website [23:45] syslog: http://pastebin.com/2A8TCCri [23:45] semarjt - what did lsusb reveal? [23:45] device not accepting address [23:45] Bipul, a video conference when they access your server? [23:45] jax i pasted that a bit a go [23:45] ih [23:46] yes [23:46] bazhang, yes when they access my server that is being hosted on my ubuntu [23:46] Is anyone here knowledgable in RAID? [23:46] semarjt: doesn't look good, what make and model is the stick? [23:46] i2iot, there are a number of "free shells" online that let you use ssh, and therefore sftp, to store files [23:46] sandisk [23:46] 16g [23:46] brand new [23:47] Bipul, with their webcam and your webcam? Bipul totally random strangers? [23:47] i2iot, they aren't called file hosting services because if you upgrade you mainly get more computing resources and not necessarily more space [23:47] yes yes bazhang [23:47] is it possible [23:47] !webcam | Bipul check here [23:47] Bipul check here: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:47] Bipul, there are many software packages that do this, Ekiga's been mentioned, I think Mumble might have video support too, not sure === derp is now known as NYAN [23:48] semarjt: it could be that the linux kernel doesn't recognize that model. [23:48] hampsterblade, what about raids [23:48] Ekiga's so you know they way to install on webserver [23:48] any guidlines [23:48] semarjt - run 'sudo rmmod ehci_hcd' then plug it back in. Don't use a usb hub, your flash drive looks like one of the fast variety [23:49] Anakin_n dmraid reports my RAID 0 array as broken, it works fine in windows. And I can't get it to mount [23:49] no usb hub [23:50] semarjt - try a usb port on the real of your dell [23:50] rear of your dell I mean [23:50] jax: just plugged it into my wifes dell laptop (win7) 'device not recognized' [23:51] how did you know i had a dell [23:51] the ubuntu box is not a dell.. [23:51] ah you saw the dell keyboard [23:51] semarjt - your lsusb output [23:51] lucky guess [23:51] LogicallyDashing, but http://ekiga.org/ can be installed on my webserver? [23:52] ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules [23:52] semarjt - you do have usb2/3 enabled in your bios yeah? Sounds like your plugging a usb2/3 device into a usb 1 port. [23:53] hampsterblade, do you have lvm it's good tool and not so dangerous [23:53] for ubuntu server is there a way to get a temporary gui? [23:53] Anakin_n, idk what lvm is [23:53] anakin, oh I do have it, but it doesn't work [23:54] kiichiro: #ubuntu-server for server questions. but other than installing ubuntu-desktop or something, not really [23:54] did not know there was a server one [23:54] Anakin, LVM reports the drives as unitialized [23:55] Bipul, it appears you want to install GnomeMeeting, and then Ekiga is a client program that connects to GnomeMeeting [23:55] how to keep my system from writing tiny images into .thumbnails ? [23:55] I just got a network drive to mount automatically with fstab and it's working great but it takes FOREVER to shutdown now unless I umount it first. Is there a way to tell linux or unity to autimatically umount the drive first at shutdown or restart? [23:55] LogicallyDashing, can i pm you [23:55] hampsterblade, how many HDDs you pluged in [23:56] Bipul, that's not the sort of thing you need to ask for, go ahead [23:57] Anakin_n, I have A ATA DVD drive, a SATA DVD drive, a 60GB Solid state in single disk mode, and 2 1.5TB drives in RAID 0 [23:58] Linksys wpc54g seems to be enabled (used ndiswrapper and Windows driver) but can't connect to WPA2 Personal with AES network - times out - password is correct [23:59] hampsterblade, can you unplug dvd devices and try ? [23:59] jax: bios says 2.0 is enabled
