[00:05] Anakin_n, I use windows 7 and it requires the AMD RAID drivers [00:06] hey peoples how many peoples does it take to launch an iso? [00:06] as many as they want lol [00:06] natee: Whats wrong with the install ? [00:06] my computer has a acer aspire g7200 predator motherboard, could that be the problem? i have a 1tb harddisk so thats not the issue and i have 8gigs of ram [00:06] any idea tonyyarusso [00:06] this thing seems to crash my virtual machine [00:07] when i try to uninstall the guest additions [00:07] idk what to do [00:07] : [00:07] hampsterblade, on Disk Utility RAID Adapter is visible as device ? [00:07] :&) [00:07] natee, we need to know (1) how you tried to install (2) how you expected it to work (3) what it did instead [00:08] hurp: echo $SHELL [00:08]  /bin/sh [00:08] Anakin it reports as SATA Host Adapter Model SB7x0/SB7x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [RAID5 mode] [00:09] HEY! [00:09] 1 i tried all possible ways, the cd i bought from ubuntus website, the usb key, the live cd alternative, 2 i expeted it to work like when i installed windows seven ultimate, which installed flawlessly, and 3 it crashed during install [00:09] hurp: And this is on Ubuntu? What user? [00:09] hampsterblade, and there only Adapter with no Hard disk visible ? [00:09] ubuntu-server, with any user [00:09] natee, I need you to be more specific, and from the way you replied I'm thinking you're being vague on purpose [00:09] however [00:10] i got this with normal ubuntu as well [00:10] in fact, i always had this [00:10] im not trying to be vague [00:10] when i do "su user" [00:10] Anakin_n, there are 3 disks visible, my SSD, and the 2 disks that are supposed to be in RAID [00:10] it literally froze up when i tried installing it [00:10] natee: I cant find your acer model on Google, is it that new ? [00:10] hi [00:10] is video supported in pidgin 2.9.0 on ubuntu ? [00:10] i get propmpted with a $ sign, then i have to write "bash" and THEN i can change user [00:10] tonyyarusso [00:10] hurp: That's weird... What's `ls -lh /bin/sh` say? What release? [00:10] natee, were you using the normal install or alternate? what stage did it crash at? [00:11] the stage where it got you to name the computer and user acount [00:11] i just pulled a indiana jones and saved my laptop from sliding off my girlfriends bed [00:11] natee, ah, you see that means it was actually running before it crashed, so I don't think the issue is with your motherboard exactly [00:11] tonyyarusso lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-07-09 15:11 /bin/sh -> bash [00:11] hampsterblade, when klick on Hard Disk on the right pane can you see Volume(s) [00:11] well what can you suggest [00:12] natee, off the top of my head, try a different hard drive [00:12] its brand new [00:12] exactly [00:12] natee, sometimes they're messed up out of the box [00:12] Anyone configured video support in pidgin 2.9.0 on ubuntu 11.04 ? [00:12] it was like 500 bucks [00:12] When I run nm-tool, I see I get state: connecting (need authentication). I'm looking at the password on the router and on my laptop and they match exactly. What am I doing wrong? I did this years ago and had to do something extra, but I can't remember what. [00:12] Anakin_n, It says 1.5TB RAID Component [00:12] I have a inbuilt webcam [00:12] and its the only sata hard drive i have [00:12] then you got ripped off natee [00:12] How do I stop seeing this nonsense of bytes and make everything show only bits? As well as it being in decimal, base 10, not binary, base 2. [00:12] hurp: so, you're already running bash then. Is the problem just that you don't get the prompt type that you expect? [00:13] howd i get ripped off [00:13] natee, the *hard drive alone* can be had for like twenty bucks [00:13] tonyyarusso not sure if you understand the problem [00:13] since when can you get a 1tb hard drive that cheap [00:13] tonyyarusso i want to be able to just do "su user" and it'll change user, without me having to write "bash" [00:14] natee, you don't need a terabyte hard drive, right now you just need another one to try installing on [00:14] tonyyarusso this only occurrs with users who have no PW btw [00:14] hurp: What happens if you try it now without writing bash? [00:14] tonyyarusso nothing happens [00:14] would my external work [00:14] i have a 500gig external [00:14] natee, sure, try that [00:14] hurp: Define "nothing". [00:14] natee: Did you try using a liveCD/USB ? [00:14] i get promted again [00:14] and again [00:14] i tried everythign [00:14] when partitioning a new instal, if /, /tmp, /var, /usr, /usr/local, /home are all serperate partitions, will they all mount automatically by default? [00:14] in an infinite loop [00:14] until i write "bash" [00:14] hurp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] hampsterblade, can you click on HDD then on big place under Volumes ? [00:15] hurp: prompted for what? [00:15] natee, if you REALLY tried everything, you don't need our help [00:15] promted to write the four letter, b, a, s and h :p [00:15] i did try everything i can from the disk [00:15] )that's so logical) [00:16] natee: Maybe you have a corrupted download ? [00:16] how i bought the disk from ubuntu [00:16] Anakin_n there's nothing there but the big part that says 1.5TB RAID Component. Clicking on it does nothing [00:17] natee: Sorry, I never could not install an OS but be quiet, Good luck [00:17] I be quiet [00:17] hampsterblade, click on it and press Mount Volume ... must appear an error box with details [00:17] thanks anyways guys, im gonna format my harddrive and try again [00:17] Anakin_n, there is no option to mount volume [00:19] hampsterblade, raid harddisks partitioned ? [00:19] hurp: Okay, it does not tell you "write bash". What is the prompt? [00:20] Anakin_n, yes I have a program partition and a File partition [00:20] Anakin_n, and about 2TB of files there [00:20] tonyyarusso just a $ sign [00:20] hurp: and what's wrong with that? [00:20] tonyyarusso i just tried writing 'bash' out of randomness, and it worked [00:20] hampsterblade, wooow it's dangerous [00:20] hurp: $ is a perfectly valid prompt. [00:20] .... [00:20] lol [00:21] meh never mind, you don't seem to understand what i'm saying [00:21] hampsterblade, and now if you boot win7 you see disks and all data on them ? [00:21] hurp: $ denotes a standard shell prompt: /bin/sh [00:21] Ubuntu minimal iso installer doesnt see my harddisk although fdisk from a shell prompt does... so I cant complete the installer because I cant set mountpoints. any ideas? [00:21] hurp: Perhaps you should ask more clearly. [00:21] Hey guys, I'm having problems configuring rythmbox in lucid. I don't want a tray icon so I removed it, then closed the rythmbox window and it kept playing. So I killed the process and now when I start it, it runs but does not show the tray icon nor the window so I cannot use it [00:21] Anakin_n yes although right now I do not have windows. I need to reinstall it [00:21] i've explained this 4 times now, i have to write "BASH" when i change user [00:21] that's all [00:21] hurp: Ignore the bash part entirely. What is FAILING about changing user? [00:22] i cannot change user without writing BASH........ [00:22] hurp: Define "cannot". [00:22] When I close rythmbox window I expect it to also stop the process but it doesn't. Seems like it's a daemon or something [00:22] does. not. work? [00:22] hurp: What is actually going wrong, and how are you confirming that it's not working? [00:23] hurp: ie, what makes you think you have not in fact changed users? [00:23] hampsterblade, what is the raid adapter model ? [00:23] SB750 [00:23] Anakin_n AMD SB750 [00:24] tonyyarusso https://pastee.org/qsfdt [00:24] this [00:24] hurp: That looks like a successful su to me. [00:24] .............................. === NYAN is now known as derp|gone [00:25] hurp: So yes, like I started with, nothing is wrong with changing users - you just don't have the prompt you expect. [00:25] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my wife's laptop. She always uses wireless, but I can't get it to connect. It keeps saying "Authentication is required by wireless network." I enter the password, but it doesn't log in. [00:25] hey how much space should i save to reboot in ubuntu? [00:25] hampsterblade, rad disks was partitioned under windows ? [00:25] 50 mb? [00:25] anakin_n yes [00:25] i can hear sound but i can't get skype to accept my audio. [00:25] hurp: While you're at the $ prompt, without running bash, try this: PS1='\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$' [00:26] hampsterblade, windows compresion turned off ...hope so [00:26] Does this make any sense? Cli installer does not list my harddisk after "detecting hardware" but If I execute a shell from the cli installer, I can do an fdisk -l /dev/sda and see the disk. [00:26] someone pleeease help [00:26] Anakin_n of course. that would be a nightmare for a 3TB drive [00:26] it will only take aminute of your time [00:26] ubuntufreak21: what do you mean 'reboot' [00:27] hampsterblade, what ubuntu u use now [00:27] I don't understand your question too. ubuntufreak21 [00:27] it wants me to save memory during reboot [00:27] Anakin_n 11.04 [00:27] do you intent to hiberate? [00:28] ubuntufreak21: are you talking about hibernating or what? I guess I don't know what you're talking about. Have you installed ubuntu? What release? [00:29] so I have spent the las 45 minutes trying to make a .desktop file. It is ment to run a script, how ever when i execute it all i get is Cannot display [path to Exec] The location is not a folder. [00:29] it wants me to put in field how space used to preservde files across reboots (ubuntu only) [00:29] btw: the detecting hardware asks if I want to support serial ata (the physical disk is ata) and then it only lists iSCSI as an option for partitioning (there is no SCSI) [00:30] I have get some promising resoulrs from ubuntuformus, but seems that an account is mandatory to browse its contents. and i dont want an account atm [00:30] ubuntufreak21: Ok. Have you installed Ubuntu yet? [00:30] i typed 50 mb is that enough? [00:30] yeah [00:30] is there an native utility to edit/ create .desktop files [00:30] What version? [00:30] Anakin_n it was formated in NTFS via windows [00:31] that is what im using so just leave it blank? [00:31] Whats the best way to backup my Ubuntu OS? [00:31] hampsterblade, AMD provide drivers for linux [00:31] ubuntufreak21: What version of Ubuntu? [00:31] 11.04 [00:31] Anakin_n, I have not been able to find any [00:31] jax: That depends on your definition of "best". [00:31] !backup | jax [00:31] jax: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [00:32] ubuntufreak21: At what point are you being asked for this? [00:32] tonyyarusso: ok, how can I backup my Os - I've done so much config and tweaks I want to secure it incase of hd failure. [00:32] Os? [00:32] hampsterblade, its motherboard with AMD 790GX Chipset ?

You do realize nobody is getting paid here... [00:38] I'm using Kubuntu natty, when I press Ctrl + Alt + F1-6, I can only see a "_". Can anyone help me? [00:38] hampsterblade, if you need to save all data you must be careful with raids, i think beter to post question in launchpad and wait for answers [00:38] ubuntufreak21: I looked at the screenshot in the unetbootin webpage and that blank you're talking about says (ubuntu only) so I think you can leave it at 0. [00:39] hampsterblade, and on ubuntu forums ... i can try to help more, and we try to solve problem, but we can loose data :) [00:39] Is there a place to get updates for Jaunty?

[00:53] zykotick9: no [00:53] hampsterblade, Install Instructions , but it's old drivers, and noone knows how they works on ubuntu 11.04 [00:54] zykotick9: I looked in sound preferences as I seem to recall there being a checkbox for the panel icon but I did not see anything like this [00:54] soreau, is indicator-sound installed? [00:54] soreau, right click add to panel indicator applet complete? [00:55] zykotick9: yes [00:55] bazhang: Ah, that did it, thank you very much [00:55] soreau, you're welcome [00:57] ok so I must have removed the indicator applet instead of rhythmbox's icon [00:58] now back to configuring rhythmbox.. [00:58] soreau, rhythmbox has to be explicitly quit, or it will just minimize to tray [00:58] bazhang: that sucks :P [00:58] hampsterblade, but if you see adapter in disk utility it's may be works [00:58] ie, hitting the 'x' wont do it [00:58] bazhang: Is there a way to make the visualization fullscreen? Also is there a way to make it use projectM? [00:59] hampsterblade, and you just can not access the ntfs file system [00:59] Anakin_n I'm about to just give up [00:59] Anakin_n and back to windows :/ [01:00] hampsterblade, try just in Ubuntu Software center search NTFS [01:00] hampsterblade, try just in Ubuntu Software center search NTFS [01:01] soreau, I dont see projectM in the plugins preferences, the maximize of visuals does not work hitting the square button? [01:02] hellppp [01:02] Anakin_ it's not an NTFS issue [01:02] hampsterblade, and install ntfsprogs pack or some tools programs for ntfs access with system packs ..it's just for try [01:02] bazhang: Well that maximizes the window but does not make the visualization fullscreen [01:02] i lost usb compatiblity [01:02] soreau, okay sorry, I use banshee for the most part, try to avoid rhythmbox [01:02] what do look for to install in synaptics manager [01:03] ubuntufreak21, usb compatibility with what [01:03] bazhang: Can banshee play lastfm? [01:03] Anakin_n, the problem has to with the raid utility throwing errors do to the way the drives are set up, most likely due to having moved the drives from a SB850 to an SB750 [01:03] fo ubuntu [01:03] Is this Ubuntu Chat site [01:03] soreau, yes it can use last.fm === kancerman_ is now known as kancerman [01:03] Naruto^985, support [01:03] bazhang: ok I'll give it a shot, thanks [01:04] what do i install to the usb driver so i can go back to usb [01:04] Naruto^985, chat is #ubuntu-offtopic [01:04] so that it recognizes usb [01:04] hampsterblade, you need advanced tools for diangnostic this adapter works or not works 100% normal [01:04] ubuntufreak21, go back to usb for what; is this a install or in a virtualbox [01:05] Thanks :) bazhang [01:05] no i was being stupid and tried using up two usb sticks for booting iso and at the screen it said boot error [01:06] and i lost usb [01:06] I know it works [01:06] function [01:06] ubuntufreak21, how were the iso written to usb, using which tool [01:06] Anakin_n cause it works in windows [01:06] unetbooton [01:06] unetbootin [01:06] ubuntufreak21, and they never worked? [01:07] no its not that i used to usb sticks for fi nishing the download [01:07] ubuntufreak21, finishing the download of what [01:08] i just want to know the software needed to get my usb boot function back [01:08] hampsterblade, to see now how it works in ubuntu [01:08] ubuntufreak21, you installed iso to usb with unetbootin, and it booted properly, is that correct [01:09] what do i search for in synaptics for connecting usb mounting usb [01:09] hampsterblade, most likely it's driver problem of adapter, but it can be problem in array asembling formating under windows and migrate array to linux [01:10] no i took one usb out and filled it then during the process i switched usb [01:10] usbs [01:11] it was a stupid move but i was very lucky that i didnt screw everything up just usb [01:11] so i want usb to be able to mount to computer [01:11] ubuntufreak21, you used unetbootin to install iso to usb and it booted correctly, yes or no [01:12] [Blog] How Ubuntu Killed My Family Computer - http://bit.ly/qSNUh3 [01:12] wizzr, wrong channel dont paste here [01:12] no because i tried loaded it on two usbs which i should of known that wouldnt work [01:13] ubuntufreak21, did you md5 the iso beforehand [01:13] so unetbootin wasnt the problem it was me and my stupid mistake [01:13] no how do you do that?

[01:18] ubuntufreak21, what did you mean when you wrote you are using unetbootin to lauch a freedos iso on to usb? [01:18] test34, I know what md5 is thanks [01:18] bazhang, it doesnt explain what md5 is [01:18] bazhang, it explains that md5 is flawed [01:18] bazhang: I cannot get banshee to play lastfm.. I allowed access and it says I'm logged in but when I try to play any station, it says that it's only available to 'subscribed users' [01:19] test34, thats not really about ubuntu support, but thanks [01:19] bazhang: I did not have to allow rhythmbox, I just put in my user/pass and it worked [01:19] bazhang, so why use md5? [01:19] is there another channel for installation questions? [01:19] im trying to boot an ms-dos image which 3.8 gb to a 4gb pendrive [01:20] do i need to make iso smaller? [01:20] test34: the security problems with md5 are irrelevant to people using it to make sure downloads didn't have issues. Network issues are statistically unlikely to cause hash collisions. [01:20] it wasnt hash peoples [01:20] hampsterblade, whats says command "cat /proc/mdstat" ... or you giveup already :) [01:20] i used to usb stick for one installation [01:21] Are we talking turkish hash? Corned beef hash? [01:21] I've tried installing ubuntu several times on my PC and I keep getting installation failed errors, it seems to go through the entire install but can't modify the bootloader, I'm guessing. [01:21] ubuntufreak21, so all the help you have been asking for with ubuntu really has nothing to do with ubuntu? [01:21] lol [01:21] hey guys I have a question. I have Ubuntu installlation and another Ubuntu installation in VirtualBox. virtual installation has OpenSSH and I'm able to connect it from inside it using "ssh localhost" but I want to connect it from host machine. I couldnt find its IP or anything. any ideas? [01:21] huh/ [01:21] mnemonic76: no, hash functions. [01:21] ubuntufreak21, msdos? this is ubuntu support [01:21] rww, it is not only about corruption from download, it is also about security... why not switch to SHA1 [01:22] obviously, don't have a very detailed description to provide... when it does fail, though, it boots up the live CD to "further diagnose" the problem. Is there some log I can make of what has happened using the Live instance that I could pastebin? [01:22] 11.04, btw. [01:22] im trying to use unetbootin to load windows 7 onto usb bought there two things i need help on [01:22] ubuntufreak21: Your issue is you have too much data to fit on the usb drive. You need to fix that. That is not an ubuntu question. [01:22] 1. get usb reconnected [01:22] prf_q, "ifconfig" from inside the VM (note you'll only be able to connect from the host machine, unless you configure bridged networking) [01:22] ##windows ubuntufreak21 [01:22] test34: Checking a non-signed hash you got from the same site as the download file does not provide any security whatsoever, regardless of whether it's MD5 or SHA1. But as bazhang said, this is getting offtopic. [01:22] zykotick9: it is okay. I'm currently using NAT. [01:23] prf_q, so with NAT you can ONLY connect from the host machine [01:23] 2. copy iso to usb stick in smaller increments [01:23] zykotick9: on ifconfig, I see something like 10.0.2.15 [01:23] is it its local ip? [01:23] prf_q, use that IP from the host [01:23] hampsterblade, some exotic raid tools from amd :) http://wwwd.amd.com/AMD/SReleaseF.nsf/softwarepages/ToolsbyOSChipset?OpenDocument [01:23] yes but it doesn't respond [01:23] zykotick9: i have ubuntu server on virtual [01:24] prf_q, can you ping it? have you install ssh server? [01:24] ubuntufreak21, this is not an ubuntu support issue, please stop asking here [01:24] zykotick9: and when I say ssh 10.0.2.15 from host machine, it doesnt work [01:24] 1. get usb connected help with just this and i will leave you al;one [01:24] zykotick9: I have openssh insatlled on guest, [01:24] ubuntufreak21, /join ##windows [01:24] zykotick9: ssh localhost works on guest machine [01:24] prf_q, can you ping it? [01:24] zykotick9: it couldnt ping also [01:24] i know that ignore that part and help get connected to my usb please [01:24] Can anyone help with my internal mic issue? Headset works but built-in mic doesn't. Ubuntu 11.04, Acer Aspire One D260. [01:25] bazhang: Ok, so what other alternatives are there for lastfm? banshee apparently uses some new lastfm API that requires a subscription [01:25] I am trying to install 11.04 on an older machine via mini.iso cli installation. The installer script can't detect the 40gb ATA drive installed as the primary master. So partman can't configure the disk. However, if I execute a shell, fdisk can see the disk. ANY help ANY suggestions? [01:25] prf_q, hum, i'm surprised. but you might want to ask in the #vbox channel (but i though from Host machine it would be able to access the Guest NAT, perhaps not) [01:25] zykotick9: I'm also asking there simultaneously [01:25] zykotick9: can it be about firewall? should I forward some ports? [01:26] prf_q, if you have a firewall on guest - yes it could be that! [01:26] Greetings all! Is there a Wubi IRC channel? [01:26] zykotick9: it is default ubuntu server 11.04 installation. I am not sure there exists any by default [01:26] Yadra, ask here [01:26] prf_q, by default, there is not active firewall [01:27] I'm not trying to spam the room or anything, just not sure if anyone's seeing my messages - can anybody help with an internal mic issue? [01:27] how can I restore default setting for compiz? [01:27] slytherinprefect: I have no idea about your microphone, but I can confirm you're talking and we're seeing it. [01:29] where do i get [01:31] where do you get what dwarder? [01:31] /usr/local/sphinx/etc/example.sql [01:31] if i installed sphinx from ubuntu package [01:32] is there a way to backup my Ubuntu Karmic OS as it currently is? I want to try and set up a dual boot system w/windows 7, but I wanna make sure I don't have to reconfigure Ubuntu if I end up needing to reinstall [01:32] so basically i wanna back it up w/all the programs and settings I currently have === neo is now known as Guest89453 [01:33] nixchix, clone? ie with clonezilla? or something else [01:33] i.e. a ghost image, nixchix? [01:33] Thanks, bazhang, I was wondering if there's an established method for mounting the ".disk" disc images, espicially in (sorry) Windows 7. [01:33] zykotick9: got the answer. if we're using NAT, we should not try to connect it using its IP. we should use localhost and make a port forwarding 2222->22 then ssh -p 2222 localhost [01:33] The .disk images that Wubi generates, that is. [01:33] Yadra, you want to move a wubi install to the hdd? [01:33] prf_q, glad you got an answer! Thanks for the heads up. [01:33] So I can access the filesystem from outside. [01:34] bazhang, thanks! [01:34] Yadra, the wubiguide has info on that [01:34] and i found them [01:34] bazhang: The google results suggested the guide did, but I didn't see where. [01:34] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide Yadra [01:35] How do I get rid of all this localhost crap? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/641060/ [01:35] bazhang: Ah, speciffically, "How can I access the Wubi files from Windows?" Thanks for being a soundingboard, sorry to bother you :) [01:36] I cannot figure out why one audio channel becomes muted (?) in lucid. [01:38] bazhang: seems like banshee is a restrictive stripped down browser disguised as a music player [01:38] le sigh [01:40] hey [01:40] why did boot me? [01:40] why did he boot me [01:40] i want to know how to get my usb back === dep` is now known as dayep [01:41] i want to be abl e to mount to usb [01:41] so that i can continue in ##windows [01:42] cous you sleep on workplace :) you booted )) [01:42] ill report this to someone very special [01:42] it's joke ... good luck have fun all :) [01:43] hey please help me mount to usb directory [01:43] so i can move into the light [01:44] ubuntufreak21: Did you do somethign out of the ordinary on the USB? Any error, or removal without unmounting, etc? [01:44] yeah but that shouldn't cause to much problem [01:45] yeah i think so [01:45] ubuntufreak21: Yeah it will. Reboot and see if the problem persists. There's a way to do it without rebooting everything, but I'm not sure what it would be with Unity and all the new changes. [01:45] wrte in trminal this command "tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages" ... replug usb and read whats happens [01:46] no i gonna have to spank my self to drinkin [01:46] you guys dont get it its not the problem! [01:46] ubuntufreak21: I'm not sure what you just said, but I know it's not relevant. [01:47] i put some of the iso files on one usb and then put some on the other usb i have so 1+1=2 [01:48] lol [01:48] then i tried running both usbs it didnt work [01:49] so lost usb connection during the process [01:49] and need to get it back somehow [01:49] so i can fit my iso on the usb correctly [01:50] hehe... lost connection... Did you unmout it? [01:50] must have [01:51] i dont know boot it happened after i got th black screen showing Boot_error [01:52] i dont know but lol [01:53] i dont know jacksquat about what im doin [01:53] im just hoping the best preparing the worst [01:54] Hello, does anyone know a way to convert my itunes m4p protected songs on a netbook with no cd drive to unprotected so i can put them on my ubuntu laptop? [01:54] so please help me get my usb connection back [01:55] astrozombie: I know of no method to directly remove the DRM from itunes music. [01:55] the only way I'm aware of is to use rerecorders that basically play the music on the "approved" program, and record the audio from that to a new, DRM free, file. [01:55] never used those. [01:56] *yawn *ppplease help im getting tired [01:56] * DIL go to sleep [01:56] this is getting a bit sluggish trying to continually waste time getting help [01:57] i just need to get driver package for my usb connection [01:57] ubuntufreak21: if you want help with stuff, FOR FREE, mind you, be prepared to have some patience... some people have tried to help you, apparently not in the way you wanted or needed, but eventually someone will get on here that *can* help you... it just takes patience. [01:58] i know [01:58] but the point is someone was here and they keep beatin around the bush [01:59] lol [01:59] they keep on trying to talk but end up going to someone else [02:00] one person told you, it probably had to do with disconnecting the USB drive without properly unmounting it. another person told you a command in terminal, to try to diagnose your problem, but you either ignored, or just chose that's not the way you want to fix the problem. [02:00] yeah thats the one i need [02:01] the terminal one thats all and i wasnt ignoring i was researching the problem [02:01] " wrte in trminal this command "tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages" ... replug usb and read whats happens" [02:01] i cant talk all the time [02:02] " you guys dont get it its not the problem!" was your response, either to Anakin_n, or the other one trying to help you. a response like that does not net useful help beyond that point. [02:03] what are you guys robots or human beings? [02:03] ubuntufreak21: that's PRECISELY why some people won't respond to you. [02:04] get with the program cause the robots coul do a better job than you [02:04] !attitude | ubuntufreak21 [02:04] ubuntufreak21: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [02:04] you aren't making it seem rewarding to help you :) [02:04] *obvious troll is obvious* [02:04] * Takieda stops feeding the troll [02:04] ubuntufreak21, part of the problem might be that you came into the channel and said you just need a minute of our time...it will be easy...should I use 50mb. It was not until much later after many questions and trying to help that you finally sort of mentioned that you were trying to install freedos. It makes people not really want to go out of their way anymore when you do not tell us upfront what you are trying to do. [02:04] sorry about the flood [02:05] you need a big team to look up the informatioin and another big team to help its that simple [02:05] ok im sorry i shouldve shutup [02:05] im sorry i typed that to you all [02:05] #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. If you want to wander into metadiscussion, please go somewhere else, like #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. [02:06] i now i know [02:07] ubuntufreak21: Apology accepted. I understand how frustrating it can be to be patient and wait for answers, but even though some of these guys are really experienced... they're only doing this to be kind to their fellow man. [02:07] ok [02:08] speaking of which, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 on this machine (can't install and chat at the same time, sadly), and I have a hard drive with half of it partitioned for Windows XP, and the other half empty. I've run the install a few times, redownloaded the same ubuntu iso, burnt it on different media (different speeds, and different brands of discs,etc.), and it always comes back with an error near the end of installation (as far [02:08] as i can tell). [02:08] but cant they try harder to limit 3 people per person help [02:08] not 20 [02:09] it seems to fail when trying to update the bootloader, and then boots into a Live instance for "further diagnosis." is there something I can run, or copy, or, whatever, that I can use to either figure out what the problem is on my own, or pastebin it for others here to help with? [02:09] Takieda, you may want to try the minimal install cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD it is NOT a live cd however,, at some point you will get a list of possible install options,, arrows to scroll and "Space" bar to tick a box [02:09] ok im really tired now im going to have to end the session for until tomorrow [02:09] ubuntufreak21, it is a free operating system that is open source, everything is community supported. No one get paid to help. I help because i know how hard it was for me years ago when i started using *nix. [02:09] Takieda, since it is only 19 megs it is unlikely to get corrupted during download , however,, still c heck the md5sums [02:10] coz_: thanks... my next step was to install it off of USB... [02:10] * Takieda has never learned how to check md5sums :( [02:10] !hashes | Takieda [02:10] Takieda: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [02:10] Takieda, this may work better for you since it is essnetially a net install...the system is downloaded and installed [02:10] !md5 | Takieda [02:10] Takieda: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:10] ubuntufreak21: Your apology seems less sincere as you continue to be critical of the kind of help offered here for free. Do you expect the best, fastest, most personalized support for FREE on-demand 24-7? [02:10] its real easy [02:11] bye everyone sweet memories [02:11] thanks Nobgul-bnc :) [02:11] Takieda, the md5sum is on that link , , just make sure it matches [02:11] i hope my sorry is taken [02:11] Takieda, no worries once you get it down you will use it a lot. [02:11] by you all [02:11] sleep tight let the bed bugs bite [02:12] How can I do a manual install from a live cd without using Ubiquity? [02:12] It keeps crashing. [02:12] mnemonic76: Try the alternate iso? [02:13] mnemonic76, or the minimal install cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:14] what are symbolic links for? [02:14] tiago__, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link [02:14] soreau: I have tried the minimal iso, and the hardware detect must have a bug. it won't detect the ATA disk, although if I execute a shell from the installer, fdisk sees the disk fine.... [02:14] I ran "sudo chown username /path/" and even with the -c argument and received the confirmation message, however, I am stil receiving the "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "sf_F_DRIVE"." error. What else can I do? [02:14] hey all, what is the best way to get gnome 3.0 on ubuntu? is it still adding the gnome 3 team ppa? [02:15] mnemonic76: What about the alternate iso? [02:15] i do not wish to have gnome 2 installed on the side [02:15] !gnome3 | nomad111 [02:15] nomad111: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [02:16] sigh... fair enough [02:16] grrrr [02:16] soreau: I have not tried the alternate yet. I thought it was the same basic thing as minimal, with the install files on the disc. I suppose it is worth a try. [02:16] banshee is not willing to play much of anything [02:16] Hello, can anyone help me with my question [02:16] Hello [02:16] mnemonic76, the minimal is a net install no packages on the disk [02:16] altctrldel, is this a FAT/NTFS mount by chance? [02:17] yes. it is on my windows 7 host [02:17] altctrldel: don't ask to ask a question, just ask away :) [02:17] this is a virtual machine [02:17] Takieda: i did ask [02:17] Abyssion: [02:17] i can access the files/folders as root in terminal [02:17] but not as my user [02:17] altctrldel, then you are using an incorrect mount option. Sorry I can't personally help - but permission for NTFS is determined by the mount command you use. [02:17] evne though i have changed the permisisons [02:18] I installed banshee-extension-radiostationfetcher AND banshee-extension-liveradio but when I enable the extensions and plugins, it just says generic error for shoutcast and all the rest [02:18] what is wrong with this thing? [02:18] zykotick9: uh, but i can access it as root, so obviously it is being determind by ubuntu [02:18] altctrldel, you can't change permission on NTFS using unix means [02:18] altctrldel: sorry, didn't see your first post. checked above, and didn't realize I needed to scroll up :0p [02:18] zykotick9: i am changin a linux permission [02:19] altctrldel, sorry unix/gnu-linux means [02:19] zykotick9: you are wrong [02:19] or you dont understand my problem [02:21] changed ownership of `sf_F_DRIVE' to username is the message I receive when I run chown but in the directory properties, root is still listed as the owner of the folder. [02:22] soreau, I just installed both of those extensions,, here they seem to be working,, let me test each [02:22] coz_: I am trying this on 10.04 [02:22] soreau, oh! ok then apparenlty there is a difference :( [02:26] Hi there everyone, I was just wondering if it is a known bug that ubuntu installed on a USB flash drive will not be detected as a bootable volume by Mac OS X's startup manager (i.e., holding alt/option at boot of any Mac). I've tried it on two seperate [02:27] intel machines. [02:27] coz_: Yea it seems to work in 11.04 but there is no shoutcast :P [02:28] soreau, another "b0rken" which by the way is a small norwegian village just out side of "wonkers" [02:29] so what exactly does $DISPLAY contain and mean? [02:29] hi [02:30] coz_: Yea it only loaded the stations. It can't play anything but commercials so far :( [02:30] and it doesn't seem to be responding to clicks much on the stations list [02:30] ugh [02:31] soreau, "b0rken" :) [02:32] coz_: suckage :/ [02:32] :) [02:32] coz_: The really stupid thing is that lastfm player works, rhythmbox can play lastfm but in banshee, it requires a 'subscribed user' for lastfm [02:33] such a heeping pile of.. [02:33] heaping too [02:33] soreau, for some reason I am still liking rhythmbox over banshee ,, even though banshee had a host of extensions [02:34] <__sephiroth> hey clicking on random sites can sometimes give you viruses or install stuff on your computer correct? [02:34] soreau, may install the banshee-extension-lastfmfingerprint ?? [02:34] coz_, soreau: what about Clementine oand Amarok? [02:34] !virus | __sephiroth [02:34] __sephiroth: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [02:35] <__sephiroth> zykotick9, what about rootkits and trojans in software etc [02:35] acklee, I do like clementine,, so far,, havent tested or checked for its extensions yet [02:35] coz_: acklee: Haven't tried those yet, thanks for the suggestions [02:35] <__sephiroth> stop telling people ubuntu is invincible ... i don't believe it [02:35] __sephiroth, they exist, but would probably require "sudo" to actually install. [02:35] <__sephiroth> hmm i c [02:35] __sephiroth: they require sudo to really be installed, and they are so few and far between its virtually invincible [02:35] becuase there's no linux virus that targets ALL distributions [02:36] and ALL derivatives of distributions [02:36] <__sephiroth> so the more arcane your distro is the better... [02:36] coz_: there is no such package by that name [02:36] its more profitable for hackers and viruses to work, the more you'll see in those platforms. [02:36] i.e. Windows and Mac are getting hammered now [02:36] because they're far more widespread than Linux [02:36] soreau, ooo there is here let me make sure I spelled it correctly [02:36] coz_, soreau: I prefer Clementine rather than Amarok, better try both first and let you decide.. [02:37] <__sephiroth> TheEvilPhoenix, what happens when linux becomes widespread... [02:37] coz_: Only thing close is liblastfm-fingerprint0 [02:37] acklee: Aren't those kde-geared apps though? [02:37] soreau, banshee-extension-lastfmfingerprint .. that may be it,, its suppose to correct metadat by querying Last.RM [02:37] metadata [02:37] __sephiroth: cant say, but it doesnt look like it'll be widespread any time soon :P [02:38] TheEvilPhoenix, the fact that servers are more sought after then desktop PC, and the fact that gnu/linux rules in server land: suggests a slight flaw in your logic above. Gnu/Linux & BSDs are simply more secure then MS. [02:38] coz_: Ah it's only available in 11.04 repos, not 10.04 [02:39] <__sephiroth> i luv gnuserland [02:39] soreau, oh isnt that nice :( [02:39] soreau: Amarok yes KDE geared apps.. Clementine, I have no idea.. [02:39] I hate these music players. You click close and the process does not quit but the window disappears [02:40] Even if you have told it not to place a tray icon [02:40] http://www.clementine-player.org/downloads === stephenamc7 is now known as stephenmac7 [02:41] I didn't think it would be this hard to find a lastfm player that didn't suck [02:42] soreau, there's shell.FM [02:42] coz_: yea I saw it === root____1 is now known as breath [02:43] I Always Dreamed Of a Place Linke this ;) [02:44] Hello, I was building my drivers for my printer and got this error: http://pastie.org/2190320 [02:44] soreau: mocp? [02:45] Anyone get that? I was having issues getting my IRC client workin... [02:45] *Working [02:45] stephenmac7: Yep. [02:45] qin: huh? [02:45] !info mocp [02:45] Package mocp does not exist in natty [02:46] acklee: clementine is failing to play lastfm too [02:46] !info mangler [02:46] Package mangler does not exist in natty [02:46] stephenmac7, you might want to verify you have the libcups2-dev package installed. I don't know if that will help however. [02:47] stephenmac7: what about irssi [02:47] I fixed it, I used xchat instead of webchat.freenode.net [02:48] soreau: oh no.. I never scrobbled anything to last.fm.. [02:48] Flannel, thank you! [02:48] what is the difference bewteen xchat and webchat? [02:49] villa: xchat is a program you install on your computer. webchat is a website. [02:49] rww: Exactly what I was going to say! :) [02:49] What are u guys gettin ? [02:49] villa, also , with xchat, you will have more control over settings, etc [02:49] IRSSI is so mush butter ;) [02:49] Is the nickname registered in webchat same with that in xchat? [02:50] villa: yes [02:50] It depends on the server which in this case is freenode. [02:50] Yep ;) [02:50] s/server/network/ [02:50] What do u get ?? [02:50] but why can't I login with the nickname registered in webchat? [02:51] Did you /msg NickServ identify? [02:51] it shows msg "invalid passwd" [02:51] Hello everyone [02:51] try using the correct password [02:51] villa: there is a #freenode channel--they love to answer those questions [02:51] I think it is the exact passwd [02:51] villa: why do u use webchat instead of xchat ? what's ur aims maybe there's other options [02:51] I didn't feel like installing xchat [02:52] Well, anyways: Bye! [02:52] villa: it's evidently not, since it's saying "invalid password". Anyway, go ask #freenode about it. [02:53] Actually I am a fresh man here. so I wanna try any appropriate options [02:53] ok. thanks [02:53] given that the nickserv registration for 'villa' is from two years ago under a different host, that likely isn't you [02:53] villa : try irssi :) [02:54] how could you "villa" was registered two years ago? [02:55] how could you know that "villa" was registered two years ago? [02:55] he means ur nickname is villa ur username isn't :( [02:55] villa: /msg nickserv info villa [02:55] anyway, this is offtopic for #ubuntu. Go talk to #freenode ;) [02:56] and I meant last seen, not registered [02:56] ok I see. Thanks [02:57] I think I should abandon this nickname === viola is now known as Explodingpiglets === Wally1 is now known as Wally [02:58] I try to run lastcd from 'ears' package and it gives ImportError: No module named lastfm [03:00] I running linuxmint, technically not ubuntu but the people here are more helpful. Banshee keeps failing to lookup info on cd's when it ry to rip them, has anyone else had this problem and know how i might fix it? [03:00] can someone help me [03:01] dianna: with what? [03:01] dianna: don't ask to ask a question, just ask the question :) [03:01] dianna: how may i help [03:01] i need help downloading things [03:02] do you know how to download [03:02] dianna: Can you elaborate on that? Are you on the internet? [03:02] centHOGG: hahaha [03:02] I was wondering if it would be possible to create a bootable thumb drive that would boot directly into a rdp seesion ( windows box) [03:02] semi-serious [03:02] dianna, what are you trying to download? [03:03] ! lts [03:03] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [03:03] dianna: firefox has a built in download manager with pause and resume capability [03:03] RadarG: Is there a linux equivalent of rdp? [03:03] soreau: ? [03:03] What is the next LTS release? [03:03] like i try to download something so once its downloaded when i try to go on it it doesnt let me [03:03] soreau: oh, IDK [03:03] me neither :) [03:03] soreau: presumably 12.04. [03:03] dianna, what did you download? [03:03] soreau, isnt that 12.04 ? [03:03] oovoo [03:03] ok [03:03] I sent up a ESX and would like to have my own thin client [03:03] dianna: You can see it in the folder? [03:03] Alright!!! Got netflix working courtosy of VirtualBox!! [03:04] yes [03:04] ParadigmUltra: virtualbox with windowsxp running in it? [03:04] win7 [03:04] dianna: what do you mean 'get it' ? [03:04] what's oovoo? [03:04] ParadigmUltra: :( You got my hopes up [03:04] dianna: there are many other ways to get downloads on the command line--wget, subversion, git, transmissioncli [03:04] dianna, oh mm,, I had a client wanting oovoo,, you may have to use it via wine,,, that is stricktly a window appliation [03:04] dianna, go onto google search ubuntu oovoo [03:05] kay [03:05] ahh...yeah. [03:05] heh. edbian this disk image I'm using has servived 2 hard drive crashes. The virtual machine's been around longer than my "actual" machine. :-) Just got it working again. [03:05] ParadigmUltra: neat! I love computer science sometimes :) [03:05] :) [03:05] dianna: file-roller is a great app [03:06] dianna, are you shure you cannot find something similiar to the app you are trying to download in the "ubuntu software center" ? [03:06] Could someone tell me how to disable screen locking in Kubuntu, for ONLY hibernation? [03:06] dianna, there was some talk on the oovoo forum about a linux version but I believe that was never realized [03:07] yea i see it now [03:08] dianna, however,, always post somethin on their forum,, the more people insist on a linux version the possibility they may reconsider :) [03:09] problem in compiz: when i run compiz. title bar,window borders are not shown. [03:09] balaji_, first which video card do you have on that system? [03:09] spidermonkey is deprecated in natty? [03:10] I can't seem to enable my wireless card. When I type sudo ifconfig wlan1 up, I get, "Operation not possible due to RF-kill" [03:10] balaji_, also , is this 11.04 and are you running Unity or classic gnome? [03:10] gpeterso: sudo rfkill [03:11] coz_:using 11.04,classic gnome [03:11] thankyou [03:11] gpeterso: rfkill controls a software and shows you the hardware on/off switch [03:11] balaji_, ok do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? also known as ccsm ..yes? [03:11] balaji_: Do you have ccsm installed? [03:11] How do i synchronize my iphone with ubuntu? [03:12] coz_,edbian:yeah i have it [03:12] in a bin bash script how can I set it to automatically run in terminal? There's a command I want to run in terminal (doesn't require root) and I figured it'd be easy to set it to quick launch. But it opens in gedit, as expected. Can I force it to run in term? [03:12] * edbian is better than coz_ ! :P [03:12] balaji_: Got to the window decoration plugin in ccsm [03:12] balaji_, open ccsm and click on the Effects category in left column and then click on the Window decoration plugin to get into it's settings [03:12] <^cheeky> hello, i have been trying to set up ... freenx with ubuntu 11.04 ,and i still haven't gotten it to work, every time ti connect it says downloading session information and then .. just says connection timed out, when , i tail, the auth.log it says,session closed for user nx. i have created. custom keys and checked so many times. that the server and the client have the same, but i still get the same error, i also .. added users to the [03:12] <^cheeky> passDB for freenx-server . but still now luck, any one could help please, greatly apperciate it [03:13] Roasted: Right click it and change the permissions so it's executable [03:13] balaji_, in the "Command" field under the Window decoration plugin,, what is in there? [03:13] edbian: Solution: sudo rfkill list wlan [03:13] edbian, ............thats it? [03:13] gpeterso: There ya go! [03:13] Roasted: should be, yeah [03:13] gah [03:13] edebian: Let's try that again: sudo rfkill unblock wlan [03:13] Roasted: Executing it means opening it using xterm or gnome-term or whatever [03:14] edbian, hmm, it works, but terminal disappears right away. bummer. [03:14] gpeterso: Yeah :) You figuered it out [03:14] edbian, I wanted terminal to hang out so I can just read the output [03:14] edbian, unless you know a way to set mdstat to email me if a disk in an array is reporting issues? === dianna is now known as ednah [03:14] Roasted: yeah.. that'll happen. You can open it in a terminal and run it. Then the term won't close. Or you can change the settings for your terminal emulator [03:14] coz_,edbian: :) window borders now visible,but now i am not able to drag window [03:14] Roasted, you could run the same command with & disown to see if you can see the readout [03:14] edbian: THANK YOU. That's the end of a very long 4 hours trying to get a wireless card working installing Ubuntu on my wife's laptop. [03:14] Roasted: Not off the top of my head [03:15] coz_, jsut add that to the end of the command I have in the bash script? [03:15] balaji_, open ccsm again make sure the Move window plugin is enabled in the window management category [03:15] balaji_: There is a move plugin in ccsm. Is it on? === dianna is now known as ashly [03:15] gpeterso: :) I'm pretty good with wireless [03:15] Roasted, mm try it ,, not sure about with a script [03:15] gpeterso: You should have asked for my help 4 hours ago! :)\ [03:15] Hi, [03:15] I installed Ubuntu (Karmic Koala) on my Compaq Presario V5000 laptop. Everything except the Mouse works fine. I even got the wireless working. The mouse freezes quite often. The symptoms are that at seemingly random times, all of the buttons stop working on the mouse, usually when I am using firefox. When this happens, the system will respond to keystrokes. This happens with both the touchpad mouse and an external mouse. The CPU doesn't see [03:15] m to be spiking. The mouse button will work again after a while if I just keep clicking the left and right buttons over and over again. Sometimes it wont come back and I have to reboot. This has gotten so annoying that I am ready to install another OS. Can anyone point me to a thread for this issue, or is there a fix? I've searched and it seems others have the same problem, but I haven't seen any solution [03:15] ashly: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:15] wow [03:16] Roasted, to keep gnome-terminal open - Profile Preferences / Title and Commands / When command Exits dropdown [03:16] ashly: That's not really your fault. You didn't know the message would split. You should make a forum post and then show us that. I'm going to read what you wrote now. [03:16] coz_,edbian: thank you:) now works. i am silly guy... didnt check in settings instead thinking of some problem in compiz & reinstalled those. [03:17] balaji_: Sure :) Silly guy you! [03:17] balaji_, no problem,,, at some point you can meet me in #compiz,, I can walk you t hrough a complete basic ccsm set up for compiz [03:18] if anyone wants to know as far as I can throw the proverbial stone in the google pond there is only the possibility to use oovoo in a emulated windows box [03:19] coz_: fine i will join there after sometime. now bye:) [03:19] balaji_, ok [03:19] after using sudo bash how can I drop the sudo privelages? [03:19] Rotham_: exit [03:19] ^^ [03:20] shutdown -h now [03:20] great thanks [03:20] i looked up theproblem and they said that you should- add a specific command lin- update Bios- add to boot line (from older advice)- replace Karmic with earlier version (but some of these had same bugs)roll back to an earlier version of Firefox- hope that Ubuntu finds a fix to this bug [03:20] Rotham_, as long as you do not sudo -i, the privileges will drop after a couple of minutes [03:20] ah k cool [03:20] is that right [03:21] ashly, how much ram does your system have ? [03:22] ram? [03:22] yes! [03:22] ashly: i had a problem with touchpad on 9.04--purging xorg-xserver-input-synaptics was the solution [03:23] sweat, why are you trolling in here ? [03:23] go to hell [03:23] sweat; how do you get it [03:23] punk [03:23] lol [03:23] you purge it and then remove it [03:23] thankyou [03:23] if that does not solve it you put it back [03:24] okay thanks [03:24] bye === ashly is now known as myesha [03:26] usually when people are having mouse problems it's due to latencies, due to swapping of memory, and firefox does quite oftenly bloat up and start the swapping process.. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:32] hello! I did a do-release-upgrade , and after the reboot it complains about a general error mounting filesystems, mounted the root filesystem read-only and stopped. anyone can point me in the right direction? [03:37] Kirill: where is your root as in which device is it and did fstab change with the update [03:38] The text is missing for several of the programs that I have installed using wine. Is there any solution to this? [03:38] Kirill: you might try sudo blkid and input the UUID=whatever into fstab specifically [03:40] it appears the MD5 checksums WERE wrong after all :( [03:41] :{ [03:42] is there a way to force a check disk utility to check the disk if the system boots into initramsfs prompt and not the desktop? [03:42] I wonder what caused the problem. [03:42] I'm setting up a computer for my wife and she used Gmail Notifier (or whatever that thing is) on Windows. What is the Ubuntu equivalent? [03:43] gpeterso, the same in ubuntu [03:43] gpeterso, there are a few ,, there is a firefox plugin name gmail manager [03:43] NewtoLinux: i routinely fsck with shutdown -r -F now [03:43] NewtoLinux: there is also sudo touch /forcefsck [03:44] sweat: wish I could do that but it won't execute shutdown command from initramsfs prompt neither touch /forecefsck will work there [03:44] NewtoLinux: i suspected, but if the file system is not mounted badblocks is a utility i would try to use on it, or testdisk [03:45] does anyone know how to make all folders on ext2 sd card writable by all [03:45] sweat: ok thanks, will look into that [03:46] i need an answer quickly please thanks [03:47] mrdeb: chmod -R 777 /your/card ? [03:47] what is -R do [03:48] wow that worked thank you [03:48] mrdeb: man chmod, -R stands for recrusive [03:48] van7hu, coz_: I found gmail-notify.sourceforge.net, but CheckGMail looks, maybe a little more popular. [03:48] so that means everyone can write and read [03:48] ? [03:48] how about chown, should i do that [03:49] mrdeb: No point to chown it. [03:49] well i did it before [03:49] is that gonna be a problem [03:49] mrdeb: nah, it'll be fine [03:49] mrdeb: But write means also ability to remove data [03:49] yes [03:49] thanks homie [03:50] mrdeb: google ACL for more info. In short, there are three levels of permissions: Owner, Group, Everything Else. === wilson_ is now known as Guest54369 [03:50] the 777 corresponds to permissions for those three sets. [03:51] How do I make sure that wine can access the CD-ROM when I'm playing a game? [03:53] ok [03:53] Could someone tell me how to disable screen locking in Kubuntu, for ONLY hibernation? [03:53] <__sephiroth> what's the command to check os you're running? [03:54] uname [03:55] Hello. [03:55] I just installed WoW on my my desktop with ubuntu and I am having troubles with memeory now. [03:55] Could anyone help me? [03:56] yeah make a bigger swap file [03:56] contHOGG: how? [03:56] centHOGG [03:56] google swapon and linux swap [03:56] mrdeb, FYI applying 777 recursively is usually NOT a good idea! You just set all files as executable. qin [03:57] ok zykotick9, how do i do it read and write only without exec [03:57] mrdeb, you can't do it recursively, as you DO want 777 for the directories, just not the files [03:57] chmod +R ugo+rwX [03:57] s/+/-/ [03:58] ok [03:58] why does it says the owner is owner #1000?? [03:58] <__sephiroth> why when running ifconfig i see one address but on a site that gives me my ip address i see a totally differnt one? [03:58] rww, does the captial X actually change based on directory/files? [03:59] __sephiroth, this is probably because you are behind a NAT router, the site is showing your external IP address. ifconfig will show the internal private address. [03:59] __sephiroth, if you are using NAT, that would make sense: interinal vs external [03:59] that didndt work rww [03:59] zykotick9: +X sets the execute bit if 1) the file is a directory or 2) the file is already executable for some user [04:00] <__sephiroth> zykotick9, dangertux, that makes sense [04:00] zykotick9: I haven't been paying attention, so additional stuff may be needed for this situation, iono. [04:00] rww, neat. thanks. [04:00] chmod invalid mode +R [04:00] what does that mean [04:00] mrdeb: -R, not +R [04:00] I typo'd [04:01] centHOGG: will that make a partition that WoW will run out of? [04:01] nah idk [04:01] they are still all executable now [04:01] much about WoW.. except it's sposed to be played on windows [04:01] and part of group 1000 [04:01] what is group 1000 [04:01] I am using Wine. [04:02] why did this happen when loading the sd card from a new distro [04:02] it worked before [04:02] It says I have very low memory. [04:03] Low Disk Space "This computer has only 3.5 MB disk space remaining." [04:03] All I have installed is Firestarter, Wine, and WoW. [04:04] I will creating a swap file I guess. [04:06] I heard that the number of Ubuntu users is decreasing since Naty, is that true ? [04:06] heh [04:07] clean: no way to tell [04:07] clean, wouldn't shock me Unity didn't go over too well -- I stuck with 10.04 personally. [04:08] I am still using 9.04 on my own pc ... [04:08] clean, if it's not broken don't fix it ;-) [04:08] v9.04 on my ripper [04:08] dangertux: haha:) [04:09] whats a good web editor / homepagemaker for ubuntu ? :) === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:09] dangertux: it's not receiving security updates, I'd consider that broken personally. [04:09] rww , that's a very valid point -- but for a desktop system it's not the end all be all. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest91710 [04:10] rww: my 9.04 also can't get any more security update, it tells me to upgrade [04:10] rww , if security updates are important to you then LTS is the place to be. [04:11] clean: That's because 9.04 is end of lifed. [04:11] !eol [04:11] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [04:11] dangertux: or do upgrades :P [04:11] rww , to each their own I suppose :-) [04:12] rww: LTS maybe a good choice [04:12] rww: I am considering LTS [04:13] Are there any fun projects you can do on Ubuntu to get reading for a Linux/Unix Administration Class? [04:13] Don't get me wrong , I'm not a massive Unity hater, I just prefer the stability of LTS. [04:13] clean: might be a good idea, yes [04:13] Reighnak , LDAP, LAMP, Virtualization, Samba, to name a few [04:13] just google those? [04:14] Reighnak , you may want to practice implementing them as well. [04:14] rww: Server LTS can get 5 years support, do you think it suitable to install a server edition on pc ? [04:14] What's the terminal command to runthe startup disk maker thing? [04:14] dangertux: Do I look them up on google to figure them out then try them? [04:14] I don't have gnome, so I don't have the menu, but I know I have it somewhere. [04:14] clean , that is something people do, you can still install a desktop environment for it [04:14] dangertux: nice !:) [04:15] emm, do i need firewall and antivirus wen uing ubuntu ? :O [04:15] Reighnak , I would research them, check out some of the howtos for them and set them up break them fix them, really depends on how much time you have. [04:15] alright [04:15] ty [04:15] !virus | kaellan [04:15] kaellan: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [04:15] Reighnak , no problem and good luck with your class =) [04:15] clean: Ubuntu and Ubuntu Server have the same requirements, and will run on the same equipment. The difference as far as support periods is concerned is that the 5 year thing is only for certain packages, not including any of the graphical desktop environment stuff [04:15] I have until spring semester, so I should have time. [04:15] I will be back. [04:15] :-D [04:16] Am I the only one that thinks that the "you don't need anti-virus" thing sounds a little too much like Mac OS X pre Mac Defender? lol.. [04:16] rww: oh, but I think support for security updates is enough [04:17] clean: or, to phrase it another way, you'll receive security updates for desktop environments for the same length of time on both Ubuntu Server LTS and Ubuntu LTS: 3 years [04:17] hilarious [04:17] rww , do you happen to know or have handy end of life date for 10.04? [04:17] desktop* [04:17] 2013 [04:18] dangertux: 10.04 was released in April 2010, so April 2013 for desktop and April 2015 for server. [04:18] sweet I can drag it out another 2 years :-P [04:18] you aan also try fuduntu [04:19] edebian: I just rebooted and now I have to do it again: "sudo rfkill unblock wlan" How do I make it stay unblocked? [04:19] dangertux: I wouldn't really call it a virus [04:19] mrdeb: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Please stick to talking about Ubuntu and supported derivatives, thanks. [04:19] if you install it, then it isn't really a virus [04:19] Prodego: ditto [04:19] rww: maybe I should upgrade my END-OF-LIFE 9.04 to Server 10.04 LTS, do you think this is better ? [04:19] Prodego , I know Mac Defender isn't a virus , however Mac loves to claim that there is no malware for their OS , a lot like Ubuntu users, it was a loose corellation but there none the same. [04:19] none the less* [04:19] well there is malware for macs obviously :) [04:20] clearly ;-) [04:20] clean: sure [04:20] if there are exploits in the much less feature filled phone OSes though, you can be sure OSX has some too [04:20] I personally don't believe in jynxing a good thing. At this moment, we don't have the issues of the Windows world malware wise, but I feel if we flaunt it that may change. Call me weird :-P [04:20] so I wouldn't say Macs are virus proof at all [04:20] dangertux: Ubuntu have potential malware, netcat is nice example, but it tent to be off-topic [04:20] Prodego , IOS is a nightmare lol. [04:21] qin , netcat isn't really malware . [04:21] qin , however it can be used for malicious purposes. Then again so can Open Office [04:21] dangertux: Depense how will you use it... still off-topic === derp|fireworks is now known as derp [04:22] qin , that was my point -- just because something can be used to a malicious end does not make it malware ;-) [04:23] !ot | dangertux Sweet, but [04:23] dangertux Sweet, but: #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! [04:23] can someone tell me how to disable screen lock for hibernation?

[04:40] hmm, my software center is totaly grey like it isnt loading :( === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [04:40] grey windoes are usually frozen [04:40] how to fix ? [04:41] try running it in a terminal [04:41] alt+f2 [04:41] ubuntu-software-center [04:41] mod - I would suggest looking into hosts.allow and hosts.deny , however there are probably other ways. [04:42] mod - alternatively , assuming the reason you are doing this is the inherant security risk of accepting broadcasted dhcp replies, you could just use static IP's. === derp is now known as derp|gone [04:43] My ubuntu is having an error mount after I tried to edit the /etc/fstab file. [04:43] Reighnak - What is the error and what did you edit in /etc/fstab? [04:43] could you post your fstab? http://pastebin.com/ [04:44] When I restart my computer and select to boot Ubuntu it takes me to a screen that has the ubuntu log and says an error occurred while mounting. Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery [04:44] does it boot if you skip? [04:45] The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present [04:45] Now it is doing something...

[04:45] my stupid cable modem seems to be handingn out dhcp [04:45] and i have no idea how to shut it off [04:45] and i have no idea how its using the subnet that itis [04:46] mod - have you tried logging into the modem? Usually they can be accessed the same as a regular router. [04:46] i'm guessing the dhcp i'm hitting is on the outbound side of things, but i dunno [04:46] yes [04:46] I'll write down my /fstab if I can find it. [04:46] there's some screen but nothing helpful [04:46] mod - what address block is it giving out? [04:46] its givingn out 192.168.100 [04:46] i'm using 192.168.27 in my house [04:47] mod - well if you set up your hosts.deny DHCP:192.168.100.1 (whatever the ip of modem) it should reject the DHCP reply from it. [04:47] mod - to clarify /etc/hosts.deny [04:48] dangertux, thanks [04:48] mod - np hope it works, I'm not 100% it will but I have a feeling it should [04:49] i wonder what the windows people on my netowrk will do heh [04:49] hello all. having some trouble with openvpn, anyone have experience with bridged vpns and care to help? [04:50] mod - you can set up something similar in Windows as well [04:50] hi all [04:50] hi friends, i just added a user to "admin" group, which should grant him "sudoers" privileges as per /etc/sudoers ... but sudo still complains that user is not listed in "sudoers" [04:51] do i need to reload sudo or something like that? [04:51] specifically iptables related i believe i'm connected ok but routing is screwy [04:51] greenmang0, did you restarted your pc ? [04:51] weird [04:51] it wasn't the cable modem, it was the cable box [04:51] i just unplugged it from the network [04:51] HackNewton: no.. I don't want to do that [04:52] atomicfusion: dangertux: http://pastebin.com/Bef9Rbz5 [04:52] HackNewton: we are using Ubuntu not Windows [04:52] atomicfusion: dangertux: I may have messed up the second to last line and I added the last line [04:52] greenmang0, then try to log out and see some times ubuntu need to restart your x server to take effect [04:52] greenmang0, i know you are not using windows [04:53] HackNewton: no, my system don't have X windows [04:53] greenmang0, i had same problem it solved by restarting it [04:53] Reighnak: yeah, its ur second to last line [04:53] should there be something after that .? [04:54] greenmang0, so i think its better try that out [04:54] greenmang0, just log the use out and back in [04:54] s/use/user/ [04:54] Reighnak: did u manually write this? is there a chance of typos? [04:54] Yes, there could be. [04:54] But I am a faily good typer. [04:54] how do I install win 7 on a disk which uses GUID and has 10.10 already installed? [04:56] there are errors... one sec [04:56] Anybody knows a good text to speech converter for ubuntu ? [04:56] my compiz is not active . how can I active that ? [04:56] HackNewton pocketsphinx or flite [04:56] mintux, alt+f2 "compiz --replace" [04:57] nightrid3r, thanks but which one you recommand ? [04:57] atomicfusion: http://pastebin.com/eRqvEgW8 [04:57] zykotick9: when I do this my windows doesn't have border [04:57] mintux, compiz is failing then. [04:57] HackNewton the one that works best for you [04:57] mintux, what graphics card are you using? [04:57] zykotick9: so what shall I do? [04:57] atomicfusion: my worries are the 2nd to last line where there is a . after swap and then the 3rd to last line where there is.. [04:57] zykotick9: Nvidia [04:57] a space after the work disk. [04:58] mintux, have you installed the driver? [04:58] zykotick9: yes [04:58] Reighnak: "/host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk none swap sw 0 0" [04:58] Reighnak: i would suggest setting that as your second to last line, but im just guessing [04:58] mintux, what card specfically? "lscpi | grep -i vga" if you aren't sure [04:58] nightrid3r, i was trying to avoid download time :) so asked [04:59] anyone ever get a repeat authentication failure on an account you know the password is correct? got locked out of my main one and had to break into root to make a new one. [04:59] I just deleted all the text in the file on accident. [05:00] Reighnak: do you want me to put a complete fstab on pastebin? [05:00] Please. [05:00] zykotick9: http://codepad.org/uSSQZBYx [05:00] I was told to add a swap file and I needed to add a line to fstab to make it work and I messed it up I think. [05:00] no help with openvpn/iptables?. [05:00] Reighnak: http://pastebin.com/JfqeX5Cw try that [05:01] k [05:01] mintux, if you run nvidia-settings does it show what driver it's using? [05:02] Reighnak, a line like: /path/to/swapfile none swap sw 0 0 [05:02] I'm have a strange problem on a friend's computers... I'm trying to install something from CD and in the middle of installing, it asks for you to put the cd in... but it's in alraedy [05:02] when I reinsert the disk and try to mount it, it says the mountpoint doesn't exist... I check and sure enough /mnt the directory doesn't exist any more [05:03] I have to "mkdir /mnt" again, and remount [05:03] twobitsprite, maybe, something wrong with cd-rom driver, I would try to install from USB [05:03] twobitsprite: are you manually mounting the cd, or is it via nautilus? === zog_ is now known as linuxguy101 [05:04] when using ubuntu classic(gnome with compiz effects). Title bar,window borders are not displaying. but when i run compiz in other environment(like ubuntu classic(no effects)) it works fine. what is the problem? [05:04] atomicfusion: manually mounting... for some reason automount doesn't seem to be working [05:04] how do I install win 7 on a disk which uses GUID and has 10.10 already installed? [05:04] twobitsprite: does it have to be off this cd? is it windows software? [05:05] atomicfusion: it's Diablo 2 expansion CD [05:05] win7 pro x64 dvd [05:05] anadon: you need free space on your harddrive, which you can make by installing and using gparted [05:05] balaji_: run: metacity --replace & , and then enable compiz again: compiz --replace & [05:06] atomicfusion: installing with wine [05:06] twobitsprite: you could try copying it onto the disk [05:06] I am using the vi command to open /etc/fstab. How do I edit then save? [05:06] twobitsprite: "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/path/to/file" [05:07] Reighnak: after opening it, press i [05:07] Reighnak, may i recommend "sudo nano /etc/fstab" if you aren't familiar with vi [05:07] Reighnak: when ur done, press escape, and then :w, and then :q [05:07] alright [05:07] atomicfusion, fyi you can use :wq together [05:08] zykotick9: i actually use nano :), but thanks [05:08] Reighnak, use i to start editing in vi to save content use :wq to save and quite [05:08] Reighnak, try nano its very easy [05:09] Alright, I used nano, typed the lines, now what? [05:09] What do the ^& mean? [05:10] Reighnak: where? [05:10] like "^G Get Help" [05:10] Reighnak: its help [05:10] Reighnak, ^ means control - so ctrl+o to write [05:10] Reighnak, ctrl X. read the prompt at the bottoms. [05:10] zykotick9: I saw this http://www.img4up.com/up2/59211603040731145964.png [05:11] How do I save the file in nano? [05:11] mintux, so you're using 270 which is certainly a new version of the nvidia driver. Sorry, I don't know why compiz is failing on you. Best of luck. [05:11] ctrl o [05:11] control+x [05:12] no atom, its ctrl o to write then ctrol x to exit [05:12] ctrl o gave me an erorr "[ Error writing /etc/fstab: Read-only file system ]" [05:12] mrdeb: realized that after i said it, but exit prompts to save if unsaved [05:12] Reighnak, read-only file system -- is this on a livecd? [05:12] I don't know. [05:13] how did you get to where you are? [05:13] I am trying to put and it is failing to mount. I press M for manual recovery and get to a command line as root# [05:13] Reighnak, did you start Ubuntu from a LiveCD or a hard drive? [05:13] hard drive [05:13] Reighnak, the prompts at the bottom are for you to read. thats why its called easy. you do not need to remmeber all the shortcuts. [05:14] Reighnak, i think you have your / partition mounted in read only mode then... [05:14] Could someone help me figure out why my laptop isn't connecting to wifi? The drivers are installed, it sees the network, even with no network security it wont connect.. I have a Broadcom BCM4312 [05:14] Reighnakz: what does "mount" say? [05:14] Reighnakz: after you've exited nano with ctrl+x [05:15] !broadcom | cjohnston [05:15] cjohnston: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:15] bah fukket [05:15] I exited nano and hit N to save changes. [05:15] now I am at "root@ubuntu:~#" [05:15] n to not save changes* [05:15] so what does "mount" say? [05:15] cjohnston what does terminal say when you type ifconfig [05:16] should I type mount? [05:16] Reighnak, "mount | grep sda" would probably be the one line we need [05:17] Reighnakz: where | is the character above your enter key [05:17] irreverant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641133/ [05:17] "/dev/sda2 on /host type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)" [05:18] sda is red [05:18] Reighnak, sorry i guess with need the output of "mount" we're looking for / [05:18] What does that mean? [05:18] ...so I don't suppose anyone's had any luck with Oneiric and BCM4329? [05:19] orethrius: dont want to leave you feeling neglected, but sorry, no [05:19] Reighnak, type "mount" in a terminal and look for the "... on / ..." [05:19] !ubuntu+1 | orethrius [05:19] orethrius: Oneiric Ocelot is the codename for Ubuntu 11.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [05:19] This card is starting to irritate me, and it seemed to work under Maverick (which I no longer have the disc for...) [05:19] xangua: system hanged after using that command [05:20] "/dev/loop0 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)" [05:20] cjohnston: disable ipv6 [05:20] use v.4 [05:20] xangua, I'm well aware of the risks of bleeding-edge... but could this be a regression since Mav? [05:20] It certainly didn't work under Lucid. [05:20] Reighnak, /dev/loop0 something is very non-standard here! I hope someone else has some background of your issue. Good luck. [05:21] irreverant: other than editing the connection how do i do that [05:22] at the end of the mount command it says"mount: warning" /etc/mtab is not writable (e.g. read-only filesystem). It's possible that information reported by mount(8) is not up to date. For actual information about system mount points check the /proc/mounts file." [05:22] I knew I should've taken better notes the first time, lol === bryan is now known as Guest61487 [05:22] hello [05:22] cjohnston: what tabs does your edit connection window for you wifi connection have? [05:23] xangua: i didnt get run command in "ubuntu classic" and so put the command in terminal. borders and menubar came but suddenly hanged [05:23] wireless / wireless security / ipv4 settings / ipv6 settings.. ipv6 settings is set to ignore [05:23] was this already set to ignore? [05:23] yes [05:24] I would just like to send a message to any of the developers of the last 3 Ubuntu releases. Thank you. Thank you for designing a Linux distribution that fails constantly on multiple devices. Thank you for focusing on "Looking good" rather than creating a system that could still be customized. Thank you for focusing on releasing 10.10 in a way that it lines up with a binary number, rather than releasing it correctly: when it was ready [05:24] . Thank you for making me HATE Linux itself. Thank you for jumping the shark with Unity. Thank you for teaching me to use sarcasm, and finally, thank you to any of the idiots who think they will be witty by saying "You're welcome." You prove my point that this Distribution, and the users, are not worthwhile. [05:24] That is all. [05:24] ... [05:24] irreverant: edit /etc/sysctl.conf ? [05:25] hold on. [05:25] ok [05:25] loading up my other version of ubuntu [05:26] Kuzad, this is open source. you are legally free and invited to improve and share the improvements. [05:26] rather than just complaining [05:26] Know what, Kuzad? I've been banging my head against a wireless problem that I've actually seen work in 10.10, so I know there's some good out there. It's just community-supported, so responsiveness isn't exactly what it could be. [05:27] Could someone help.. [05:27] Abbhijit, it's a bit hard when one of the system's default programs fills the RAM of your system, forcing you to do a hard reset, which makes X.org become disabled. [05:27] I am getting an error"An error occurred while mount
Press S to skip mounting or Mm for manual recovery" [05:27] Kuzad: Either something's seriously wrong, or you need more RAM. [05:27] Kuzad, if you have a proper constructive discussion to do bugs to report then take it to #ubuntu-devel otherwise take it to #ubuntu-offtopic. not here. [05:28] 2 Gigabytes, orethrius. [05:28] And I will, thank you Abhijit. [05:28] ... [05:28] 1 gigabyte, Kuzad. My point remains, at least the first half. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:28] I am getting an error"An error occurred while mounting
Press S to skip mounting or Mm for manual recovery" [05:29] cjohnston: what is the current configuration of your network? [05:29] Now, assuming I have not worn out my welcome by stating what I felt I needed to say, I would like to know if it is possible to force the LiveCD to boot into a console only mode, so I can see what is causing me to have a constant black screen for an hour after a certain part of the boot process. [05:29] i keep getting this error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) here is a "terminal log" http://pastebin.com/tQ26gvjn [05:29] broadcast enabled, wpa-psk tkip authentication [05:30] irreverant: ^ [05:30] Kuzad, if you are getting a black screen while booting see !nomodeset [05:30] Alright. [05:30] !nomodeset [05:30] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [05:31] "Filesystem check or mount failed...? [05:32] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ [05:32] I used that to set up a switch file. Did I mess something up?

[05:33] did you make any recent changes? did you just lose connection recently? [05:33] its been a few weeks [05:33] probably 2 [05:34] No recent changes to your computer or network configuration?>? [05:34] no [05:34] My sound used to work find but now it's gone [05:34] what version of ubuntu? [05:34] fine* [05:34] 11.04 [05:36] exit [05:36] do you get an ip address when you connect the router through a patch cable? [05:36] ya.. it works fine then.. if i boot into windows wifi work [05:36] s [05:37] could i get a bit of assistance please? [05:38] Cyypher, only if you ask a question :) [05:38] where's my sound [05:38] :( [05:38] i really want to use the new ubuntu 11.04... [05:38] but [05:38] Cyypher, try to get the rest all on one line [05:38] i am currently stuck at [05:38] 1024x768 [05:38] I have no sound anymore, i used to have it but its gone [05:39] is that still an issue or can i be fixed? [05:39] Nomodeset doesn't seem to be doing anything, zykotick9. I meant to ask "How do I force the LiveCD to boot into a full black screeen with white text to allow me to see what is starting so that I can see what messes up." [05:39] win 55 [05:39] oops [05:40] i am currently running on a live CD of an older Ubuntu i Burned so i cant tell you much about the issue at the moment === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:40] Kuzad, you need the Alternate cd for text only install (or minimal, if you want the net install version) [05:40] just that it has the "propritary" drivers installed [05:41] so, is anyone getting a better resolution than 1024x768? [05:41] i'm getting 1280x800 on my macbook running natty [05:42] zykotick9, no no, I mean I want it to not load the purple loading screen that appears in both boot modes, and rather boot in the console type mode where I can see where it says various things are starting [05:42] hmm. I cant seem to get it to go any larger and look correct. I mean to say that i have a 42" LCD monitor [05:42] Press "escape" during the splash screen... [05:42] im geting 1920x1080 with natty. [05:42] !sound [05:42] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [05:43] Kuzad, ? I don't know if that's possible. Best of luck. [05:43] i dont get how my sound broke [05:43] is your sound over hdmi? [05:43] erry, my Xorg screws up any time I do a hard reset, to the point where I have to reinstall. [05:43] cypher, have you tried a fresh install of natty, instead of an upgrade of the distro? [05:43] no [05:44] as far as sound goes i used to have an issue if i was playing a game and listening to music because the driver i was using tookk control over the sound makeing the first one that was opend not work. [05:44] mine would only max to 1024x768 with an upgrade, but a fresh install set it at the max for the macbook 1280x800 [05:44] My sound used to work [05:44] but now it doesnt anymore [05:44] erry, It's just to say that sometimes something that stops working is just a byproduct of use, whether something changed the settings or you shut down wrong. [05:44] i tried rebooting [05:44] Does ubuntu have drivers for amd switchable graphics? [05:45] yeah, i downloaded it and burned it to a dvd at like 16x... i heard it may just be a buggy burn. but i have tried it a dozen times... lol DVD are not cheap anymore :P [05:46] lol yeah true, you should use the dvd-rw or cd-rw since natty is only like 680 mb I think [05:46] Cyypher: The part that gets me, is that the only guarantees are *still* with 1x burns... [05:46] lol, yeah, i saw that. i was burning Backtrack 5 before hand and it was like 1.6Gb [05:46] ok [05:46] i may try to burn it at the slowes rate possible [05:46] akshayms: in a word, no. I read about some hacker who put together some code to manually switch between inboard and discrete, but if you are thinking Nvidia Optimus, then no [05:47] Cyypher: Yeah, I'm not sticking around that long... maybe I can go see that new Matt Damon flick... XD [05:47] lol [05:47] thanks for your help, enjoy your movie :O [05:47] buddha_: Not nvidia. ATI on a HP dv6 [05:47] one more question [05:48] how do play movies with mplayer on your desktop, if you telnet from you laptop [05:48] when i look at the "available" drivers, it says that they are active but not currently in use. is that normal? [05:48] akshayms: oops sorry I should read more closely. [05:49] Well this is odd. [05:49] My wireless is supposedly working from my USB stick... hrm [05:49] Apparently Linksys is at the forefront of PWT. [05:50] *Possessed Wireless Technologies [05:50] lol [05:50] cypher, have you tried ifconfig device up ? [05:50] lol [05:50] nope, i have not yet. i am rather new at most of this stuff. i like to dig up the information and work on it personally. i learn better that way [05:50] akshayms: found it, turns out I was wrong, nothing new: [05:50] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTI3MQ [05:50] This is supposed to be a wireless HTPC concept, too... so maybe I should be watching The Exorcist? [05:50] Perhaps, Paranormal Activity? [05:51] cypher, do "man ifconfig" without quotes from a terminal/konsole [05:51] and look at the syntax to flag the device to be activated [05:51] let me write that down, im on a live cd atm... [05:51] Broadcom. Guaranteed to bring a little Satan into your tech, since 2002. [05:52] buddha_: Hmmm thanks, ill look into that === olskolirc_ is now known as olskolirc [05:52] thank you tallguy [05:52] an example is "ifconfig eth0 up" you have to figure out what device is your wireless device [05:53] I guess I'm just confused. How is a WLAN card - that just moments ago, was spitting blood - that displays no wireless activity even connecting...? [05:53] sure cypher, good luck :) [05:53] i'll be back... <-- no pun intended [05:53] alright, good luck === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:54] where can i download x11 development libraries? im using fedora kde === orethrius is now known as zerocool [05:54] omg, zerocool!!!

[05:55] natty now [05:55] guys/girls* [05:56] you like it? [05:56] Fedora, hence me being in #ubuntu. [05:56] Cyypher: I don't even know anymore... I think it's Natty, but the USB swears it's Oneiric... [05:56] im supprised you believe your usb since your wifi is on the fritz [05:56] i'll brb [05:57] Cyypher: It's Broadcom, when is it ever *not* on the fritz? ;) [05:57] Hello [05:57] lol, try Mediacom once. you will run back to Broadcom [05:57] Hey Smoke [05:57] Cyypher: No thanks, I had my fill of weird bugs with early Orinoco. [05:57] I am trying to use Compizconfig, the effects are not showing up, could I get some help with that? [05:58] how do play movies with mplayer on your desktop, if you telnet from you laptop [05:59] tp43, when both debian channel fail - try ubuntu eh? [05:59] i could help you a bit smoke, but im not to savvy on the tecnical verbage yet [05:59] tp43, can you use ssh instead? [05:59] friggin groupies [05:59] tp43: make sure you run "export DISPLAY=:0" before running mplayer, that will then show the mplayer window on the system you telnet in-to [05:59] tp43: Technically, you'd need an app that can take remote commands; as far as I know, that's why I'm trying XBMC and Moovida to different degrees. [05:59] Alright that's fine Cyypher. === nmesis is now known as nmsis [05:59] tp43: Or, wht tsimpson said. ;) [05:59] tsimpson, thanks. so I didn't forget the command, but its not working for some reason. Thanks [06:00] I have enabled all the settings, but I don't see any of the effects, am I supposed to restart? [06:00] tallguy, at least someone here made the correct comment ;) Nice. [06:01] thanks zykotick9 [06:01] tsimpson, is that one command? $export DISPLAY:=0 mplayer movie.avi? [06:01] hello, does my ubuntu consume less resources if i leave it in console mode while i'm away? [06:01] tp43: no, run export first, then mplayer [06:01] tp43: or just "DISPLAY=:0 mplayer ..." [06:01] Unless *someone* means ssh -X, which is the exact opposite of what tp43 requested... -_- [06:02] Okay screw this I'm reinstalling Winblows. [06:02] ...bearing in mind, that not every video player is SSH-friendly, either. Unfortunately. [06:02] this is all assuming you are logged into the remote machine with X running on display :0 [06:02] Bye, Kuzad. XD [06:03] hmm, must be something wrong with my desktop or laptop, cause it goes wild with failed to kill lines and I have to close the window [06:03] kazud: have fun, it's not like there are other linux distrobutions or ubuntu versions out there [06:03] mplayer works fine over ssh, I use my phone as a ssh remote control all the time :D [06:03] tsimpson: same :p [06:03] hello all, how can i pass an initrd parameter in grub2 ? [06:03] I guess I will learn ssh one day [06:03] atomicfusion: Let's just say that a brick flew through that window. XD [06:03] i tried reading the manual on gnu.org but i cant figure it out [06:04] jacky121: probably, but unless you have a really old comp, shouldnt have to worry too much [06:04] atomicfusion: Rhyming joke. ;) [06:04] tp43: ssh is exactly the same as telnet, but using encrypted connections [06:04] But I will have to get up and do apt-get install ssh on the server first [06:04] ok, let me try. but I wonder why telnet doesn't work now when it used to [06:04] you're logged in over telnet, just run it from where you are... [06:04] natty can connect via the gui in ssh, whereas i don't think it can via telnet [06:05] orethrius: nice one [06:05] tallguy it's not old, but when i download for more than few hours in the summer, the laptop shuts down because it's hot [06:05] atomicfusion: ty, I figured I'd be slightly nicer than speaking my whole mind... XD === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest54854 [06:05] tallguy, nautilus has been able to connect to ssh since at least Lucid, probably earlier as well [06:06] tsimpson, yeah, I know, I realised that a sec too late [06:06] jacky121: google your model of laptop and see if you have to make modifications to get your cpu fan working properly [06:06] zykotick9: And even before that, you had Thunar and Dolphin... not sure if Konq could, though. [06:07] jacky121: if you can't get it working, you can always hibernate [06:07] thanks tallguy [06:07] sure, good luck [06:07] orethrius: konqueror has been able to connect to ssh for... ever... [06:07] and just about any other "protocol" you can think of [06:07] tsimpson: A. back in the day, and B. I never fully used KDE to know that. ;) [06:07] what is the ssh server package name for apt-get install? [06:08] how can i pass an initrd parameter in grub2 ? just cannot figure it out [06:08] tp43: openssh-server [06:08] tp43, use sudo apt-cache search ssh [06:08] tp43: "ssh" or "openssh-server", the former installs the client and server [06:08] FaeLLe: what do you mean? [06:08] FaeLLe: the init script (in initrd) can read the kernel command line [06:08] tallguy, there were so many results [06:08] tsimpson: At least it's a known unknown, on my part. XD [06:09] tp43: lol yeah, go with tsimpson's advice [06:09] just wanted you to know how to find stuff for the future using terminal [06:09] FaeLLe: see the "Editing the GRUB 2 Menu During Boot" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:10] Maybe I burned out one of the NIC's LEDs. That'd certainly explain... A LOT. [06:10] hmm ssh auto enters your login [06:10] tp43: you can always send the output to a txt file, can type sudo apt-cache search ssh > ~/Desktop/ssh.txt [06:11] actaully I was using more, but so many ssh programs are out there, I was expecting to find sshd [06:11] i think you can sshfs using terminal, and not the gui [06:11] it will mount the remote system at a mount point you specify [06:11] sshfs does not help you run programs on the remote host though [06:12] oh ok, don't do that then lol [06:12] when I do ssh ip-desktop, it doesn't prompt me to enter username, instead it uses my laptop's username [06:12] tp43: ssh user@host [06:12] tsimpson: Beat me to it, lol [06:12] tp43: or use the -l USER option [06:12] tsimpson, sweet [06:13] atomicfusion: Just out of curiosity, say as a prank, do you think it'd be possible to pass -l USER as the USER argument, to infinite recursion? [06:13] Alright, I am ssh'n. So now to play mplayer, I should export DISPLAY=:0 again probably [06:14] atomicfusion: I suppose I'm more curious about those things, since I know they're fairly dumb ways to preoccupy a processor. XD [06:14] orethrius: im missing what ur sayin [06:14] atomicfusion: Pass ssh -l USER where USER is 'l USER', to where that loop never ends. [06:14] orethrius: nope [06:14] orethrius: what would you do, make a modified ssh? [06:15] same thing happens as telnet, I even tried ssh -X user@desktop-IP [06:15] at least, not without a lot of hassle [06:15] tp43: whatabout -Y? [06:15] tp43: the -X flag forwards X to your local system [06:15] atomicfusion: Actually, I was thinking a for loop, with $i being defined as the user -l USER... [06:15] tp43: do you have a user logged in on the desktop, running X? [06:15] tsimpson, oh, I see, cool, didn't work that way either though, I get a bunch of 'failed to kill' lines [06:16] atomicfusion: But then, I'm not well-versed inf creating infinite loops on-the-flly. [06:16] tsimpson, yep [06:16] tp43: dont use -Y unless you trust root on the remote system, however [06:16] -g express <--- this one is in ubuntu repositoriy [06:16] I always trust root, regardless of where I'm connecting. Not once has he steered me wrong. [06:16] tp43: try just running xterm and pastebin the error output [06:17] orethrius: while true; do $0& :) [06:17] tsimpson, can't open display. display is not set [06:17] atomicfusion: best not to post "dumb" commands here [06:17] tp43: did you run "export DISPLAY=:0"? [06:17] tsimpson: Relax, I have Virtualbox for that... ;) [06:18] tsimpson: Not going to fire it up for that, though. Waste of time. ;) [06:18] tsimpson, it returned fine, but I dont see xterm on either screen [06:18] orethrius: feel free to login to my server and put lots of personal information in locations ONLY accessible to you and root [06:18] atomicfusion: Don't tempt me, I'll plant info guiding you to a Fed's doorstep. XD [06:19] tp43: is there only one user logged in to the desktop system? [06:19] maybe I'll give it a reboot [06:19] did you know if you have bad vision, putting pressure on two sides (or sometimes top/bottom) of your eyes (kinda like squeezing the eye very gently) can actually refocus your eye and make your vision much better? it stops once you stop doing it, but.. [06:19] tsimpson, just one, and then when I ssh two. both same user [06:19] atomicfusion: "How did you come by this information again? What's this LUNIX? Some commie OS?" XD [06:20] svchost1: hold on let me try [06:20] tsimpson, maybe I just need a reboot, do I need to be logged to try all this, or can I just telnet even when the system is in the gdm menu? [06:20] lol, be very gentle [06:20] OH GOD MY EYES why did I listen to a strange man in an online chat room [06:20] sorry, ssh [06:20] very very gentle [06:20] orethrius: lol, just no cp plz, i dont have encryption on my server yet [06:20] wow it kind of works [06:20] but now i see green when i blink [06:20] tp43: you (the user you ssh in as) need to be logged into an X session for it to work [06:20] mrdeb: Stop staring at the laser. [06:20] tsimpson, that is the case [06:21] never mind, thanks for trying [06:21] g'night all [06:21] also, sometimes just restricting how much vision you get from the eye can make it clearer [06:22] svchost1: #ubuntu-offtopic is the perfect place for your randomness [06:22] so like, covering up both sides with your fingers directly on the eyelids, so you only get a small box of vision [06:22] buen día [06:22] k, but one last thing.. the only problem is refocusing.. when you move the eye or move your head, you get usually pretty out of focus, and it takes a second to readjust [06:22] ¿alguien despierto? [06:23] tsimpson: Picture how quiet it'll be, though. tp43 already took off. [06:25] does anybody here use irssi with ubuntu? [06:25] tsimpson: a little unrelated, but do you klnow of a way to increase the hashing iterations for user passwords? (like you can do for LUKS) [06:26] atomicfusion: no, and I don't see any need either [06:26] the hash is already one-way [06:27] tsimpson: it increases crack time, as each try can take significantly longer [06:28] atomicfusion: not really, as the hash can't be reversed to a password [06:28] tsimpson: Rainbow tables, unless the hash relies on a random seed somewhere...? [06:29] (itym salt) [06:29] that's basically a form of brute-force, and it doesn't matter how much you encrypt a password in that case [06:29] tsimpson: im talking about i nregards to brute forcing, by repeatidly hashing it, you can make each try take longer (many seconds) === lintux is now known as cookie [06:31] atomicfusion: Yeah, somehow, I didn't think you meant dictionary here... ;) [06:33] orethrius: ha. for my disk encryption on this computer, it takes 5 seconds to unlock the password (its a pentium 4). considering that it's around 40 random characters, i think it being brute forced is unlikely [06:33] ok, so times now, my system has crashed while surfing the web with chromium. The system fans stay on, but audio starts stuttering and the screen goes black. Im running 11.04 with the newest kernel. Where should i start looking? [06:33] MACscr: i would look at xorg [06:33] MACscr: does ctrl+alt+F1 go to a terminal screen when its frozen? [06:36] no clue, will check next time. Weird, just noticed that the text on certain window tabs is black instead of white now [06:36] unless its active [06:36] or i hover over it [06:37] MACscr: you could look for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:37] how can i start suds soap server on localhost [06:37] something is definitely messed up. The text in my terninal window is black now too [06:39] bigbang12: are you asking about configuration file specifics? === apis is now known as apisy === apisy is now known as apis [06:42] Well, it seems things are working again, though I've no idea what I did. [06:42] Ubuntu: Where great ideas happen everyday, but unfortunately, half of us don't take notes to replicate in the future. [06:42] Night all. [06:43] orethrius: is this with regards to your wireless card, from many minutes ago? [06:43] whats the otkey to change workspace ? [06:43] hotkey* [06:43] ctl+alt+arros, in ubuntu by default [06:43] x :) [06:47] hi [06:48] hi [06:48] W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 [06:48] atomicfusion: what should i be looking for in the Xorg log? its quite long and mostly useless info [06:48] my system just crashed again [06:48] MACscr1: did u test the ctrl+alt+F1? [06:49] yes, no keys work. Num lock doesnt even register [06:49] MACscr1 find (EE) lines in xorg logs [06:49] quit [06:49] how can i make it so ubuntu will beep my internal speaker when i printf "\a"? [06:49] if ctrl+alt+F1 doesnt work, it may not be xorg [06:51] How to install these wireless drivers http://www.pastie.org/2190940 ?? === 17WAAQXBF is now known as pelirrojo [06:54] Say, what was the command for leaving apps on the remote SSH server again? [06:54] screen? [06:54] I mean, I get export display=:0 ... but not sure where that comes into play. [06:55] No, I have screen, that's more for text only... [06:55] i dont know what ur talking about, but DISPLAY=:0 tells it to connect to xserver 0 [06:55] atomicfusion: It's kinda similar to tp43, but it's not a big issue if that can't happen. [06:55] i think i know what ur talking about [06:56] i tried it and it didnt work too well for casual use [06:56] hi i have a problem with bluetooth , wifi and touchpad in ubuntu 11.04 the processes are zombies , what is the error ? I have removed these applications from startup programs but does not work : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2nutaoi&s=7 [06:56] atomicfusion: Right, I'm remoting into the box, all I need is for xbmc to load up from that... but I suppose I could make that a boot-time process, too, then worry about all this through the web int. [06:57] atomicfusion: xbmc won't load remotely from an ssh session... :( [06:57] wait what? are you looking for an application, or whats going on? [06:57] anyone running ubuntu 11.04 and the newest chromium as of today [06:57] ? [06:57] MACscr, I am [06:57] atomicfusion: My setup is like this. I have an isolated HTPC, which only has wifi and a direct a/v conn. [06:58] atomicfusion: I'd like to remotely start the media center program (XBMC), but a standard SSH start attempts to load it through my local machine, even with x11-forwarding off. [06:58] atomicfusion: I suppose I could have it start with the machine, but I'm not a big fan of bum. [06:59] does xbmc have an xserver running? [06:59] How to install these wireless drivers http://www.pastie.org/2190940 ?? [06:59] atomicfusion: See, that's what confuses me. I haven't ever really gotten an answer from the devs, and I'm not going to pile through their source just to get the concept to work. I'm on a limited timeframe. [07:00] Eartaker: ok, i need to get further along in my troubleshooting before i have ya test something. [07:00] does system>administration>additional drivers work? [07:00] you said you have a video connection, right? [07:00] MACscr, did you keep the interface? I installed Ubuntu Studio and went to KDE [07:01] atomicfusion: Well, right, I just don't want to have to boot into the full UI just to get the media center running. Seems kinda redundant. [07:01] ah, im using gnome classic [07:01] but so you need to start your own xserver? [07:01] maybe screen, then startx? [07:02] atomicfusion: ok, so since its not just xorg crashing, where would i be finding kernel info about crashing, etc? syslog? [07:02] hi i have a problem with bluetooth , wifi and touchpad in ubuntu 11.04 the processes are zombies , where is the error ? I have removed these applications from startup programs but does not work : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2nutaoi&s=7 [07:02] atomicfusion: No, that much is handled, it's just a matter of isolating it from the laptop, which tries to run the program in a local session. [07:02] MACscr: try dmesg, maybe? [07:03] madeinchina: is their zombieness an issue? [07:03] atomicfusion: if i do: dmesg | grep panic, i dont get any useful info. Any other recommended keywords? [07:04] orethrius: i have no idea why that would be happening. what indication does it give, does the window appear locally? [07:04] Oh wait, wrong file... seems the remote server has X11Forwarding no commented out [07:04] Let's try that [07:05] MACscr: not that i know of skimming the whole thing might be a bit much [07:05] MACscr: are you using 3rd party drivers? [07:05] atomicfusion: nope [07:05] im trying to copy a "quake live" plugin into the mozila plugin folder. It sais: permision denied. How to get permision? im on the only acount :S [07:06] atomicfusion : i dont know not if it is a problem but it could be [07:06] kaellan: you need to do that as root [07:06] kaellan: What folder? [07:06] user lib mozilla plugin [07:06] how to login as root? [07:07] madeinchina: is something not working that you know of? i dont know enough about process states to tell u if its an issue [07:07] kaellan: Just prefix the cp command with sudo [07:07] kaellan: press alt+f2, and enter "gksu nautilus" [07:07] then use that new windoe to copy it [07:08] atomicfusion: ah, looks like chromium is segfaulting. Hmm. Here is the error in demesg, though obviously my system hasnt crashed, but there have been 5 of these repeated while just browing for a few seconds: [ 663.217189] chromium-browse[2851]: segfault at 20 ip 00007ff740d9714a sp 00007fffb53950f0 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[7ff740d47000+6e000] [07:08] heh, actually atomicfusion, it seems to work okay for now... I'll worry about the startup job later. :) [07:08] orethrius: nice to hear [07:09] MACscr: i know nothing about developing anything other than java, but all that i can suggest is trying an older version and filing a bug [07:10] Well, I'm off to enjoy me some media. Night... again... :) [07:10] atomicfuxion in ubuntu 10.10 i had not no zombie process [07:11] hi superman097 are you live? [07:11] madeinchina: reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process it doeswnt sound like a bad thing [07:11] Anybody familier with installing the Asus N13 usb driver? I am getting Errors when trying to install this [07:13] atomicfuxion ok your page is in my list thank you [07:14] qanadin: im not, but have you looked at threads for it? theres a solved one in the ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419504&page=2 [07:15] yeah I have atomicfusion . And I don't know why its erroring out. [07:15] It happens when I try to "make" [07:15] how do you uninstall ruby? [07:16] qanadin: whats the error?

How do you get terminal beeps when ssh'd remotely? [07:19] hello. anyone know if there's any way to recover when gparted goes wrong on an ntfs patition? [07:19] nixu: can you mount the partition? [07:19] yes, but all the files are gone. there's only a few empty folders left [07:20] nixu: is this the case on a windows machine as well? [07:20] yes [07:20] it resized the paritition ok (it thought) but then failed on verification, cross-linked clusters etc [07:21] <^cheeky> iam trying to get freenx server working with ubuntu 11.04 , after completeting the guide in the docs, i still get an error, i have tried many different ways and my furthest i have gotten is. the freenx client says its .. downloading session data, and then errors out, saying connection time out, i tried, looking @ the syslog says Received disconnect from 127.0.0.1: 11: disconnected by user before the connection is timed out, i opted for [07:21] <^cheeky> passdb mechanism for the authentication .. and added user nx and my self to the database, but i still get a time out error [07:21] nixu: i dont know then, only suggestion that i have is trying one of those "deleted file recovery tools" for windows [07:23] atomicfusion: yea... i'm trying one called TestDisk now, but looks like it's for files that have been intentionally deleted, so it's showing the files that i've recently deleted, but not these lost ones. they're in limbo somewhere...

Yes, text shows up in that. [07:34] ubuntunoobie2903: what application in praticular isnt showing up? [07:34] thanks [07:34] junior 9, dasher client, STATA 11 SE [07:34] if i ran: "apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" to get my 32bit ubuntu install to recognize my 14gb of ram rather than just 4gb... should i grab the VMware Player Linux 32-bit .bundle or the 64bit .bundle? [07:35] ciphersson: 32bit if ur using 32bit linux, which i assume u are,o therwise you wouldnt need the server kernel [07:35] ubuntunoobie2903: i dont regonize any of those, have you looked them up on the winehq appdb? [07:36] atomicfusion: yea i installed a 32bit version then ran "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" [07:37] ciphersson: yes, then you want 32bit binaries [07:37] thank you sir :-D [07:38] i want to install weehchat 0.3.5-1 but it syaing me Dependency is not satisfiable: weechat-curses (>= 0.3.5-1) ?? [07:39] Bursihido: usually when that happens for me, i search for a deb of the package on google [07:40] Bursihido: Irssi is a very good client for IRC ass well [07:40] atomicfusion: Dasher has a garbage review, Junior isn't reviewed, an older version of stata gets gold [07:40] Bursihido: try getting and installing this http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/weechat-curses [07:41] atomicfusion: but with stata for example it's perfect, the text is there in the menu system, and everything works, except if you open a code window you can't see the text. [07:41] ubuntunoobie2903: with things in wine, it tends to be mostly luck. if there are tips in the appdb, go for it, otherwise, i cant be much help [07:42] curiousx: pidgin is also a nice irc client :) [07:42] atomicfusion: Can i have link for deb package? [07:42] atomicfusion: thanks anyways [07:42] hi everyone. i am running ubuntu 10.10 64bit. i am having problems with connecting my bluetooth headset. i installed blueman. it successfully detected my headset but not able to pair. i tried this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsBluetoothUsbAdapters and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset.i succeeded pairing the headset with ubuntu once. but when i tried reconne [07:42] cting the next day i couldnt. the program works at random but fails more often. can someone help me or guide me. am using a bluetooth headset sony dr-bt50 and the manufacturer of the bluetooth adapter is cambridge silicon. thanks in advance [07:42] Yeah!! atomicfusion, i used pidgin in a ncurses inerfase as well xD [07:43] Bursihido: for 32bit http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/w/weechat/weechat-curses_0.3.5-1_i386.deb [07:44] aatish: does it work with another os? [07:44] anyone have experience with booting fedora and ubuntu? Does Fedora not 'play nice' with ubuntu? As in I can install Win7 Ubuntu and Ubuntu sees Win7, but when I install Fedora, it doesnt 'see' Ubuntu... [07:44] curiousx: ive never been one to give up the comforts (and frustrations) of a full gui [07:44] atomicfusion: i have only ubuntu installed on my computer. [07:45] aatish: is trhere something else that you could test it on to make sure that its not a hardware issue? [07:46] mkquist: it's definatly doable, how much experience do you have with linux? [07:46] mkquist: first install winbug then others Linux's distros [07:46] hi, everyone. [07:46] atomicfusion: ok. will try something [07:47] Now, I use fedora. [07:47] I do not like unity. [07:47] gnome3 looks great. [07:48] atomicfusion: been using ubuntu for quite some time, just tried to install fedora and it didnt 'see' ubuntu. Reinstalled ubuntu and it saw all of the others just fine. Just curious if Fedora is a bit predatory... [07:48] aries: my favorite is headless gentoo :) [07:48] aries, you have to remember that gnome 3 has had much more coding time than Unity,,, [07:48] aries, give it time [07:49] coz, so I will wait . [07:49] mkquist: fedora and ubuntu ought to work togeather in the exact same way (as in, they dont interact) the fedora installer probably just doesnt have ubuntu detection in it [07:49] how to select kde desktop [07:50] baijiu: is it installed? did u install ubuntu? [07:50] First you should install [07:50] baijiu, log off and click your name then below choose kde session and as mentioned it has to be installed [07:50] baijiu, if you didnt install it sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [07:50] ok [07:50] kde now is a little big and heavy. [07:51] its like windows 7 right? [07:51] a little. [07:51] much better [07:52] whats up with not being able to run at root user in the ubuntu 11.04 [07:52] what do you mean? [07:52] passwd it [07:52] atomicfusion: i tried the bluetooth adapter on my neighbour's win xp machine and it successfully connected to my headset [07:52] baijiu: update-alternatives --configure x-window-manager or x-session-manager, also i guess update-rc.d kde defaults might do it [07:52] aries there is already a password and it isnt the one I set [07:53] *--config [07:53] I cant get into root to change tha pass [07:53] the [07:53] su root [07:53] http://www.eartaker.net/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pid=66#top_display_media [07:53] oops [07:53] su root [07:53] asks for pass [07:53] Eartaker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:54] no idea what the pass it [07:54] Eartaker there is no root pass [07:54] aatish: is the bluetooth daemon running? [07:54] su root , and input the password. [07:54] Eartaker, use sudo -i and your user password [07:54] passwd root [07:54] set a password [07:55] First you should be a admin user. [07:55] I am the admin user... but [07:55] Eartaker: not that i mean to be condescending, but do u really need to login as root? usually there are better ways [07:55] when I type su root, it ASKS for a password and then says auth failed [07:55] atomicfusion: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status says that bluetooth is running [07:55] your password is wrong. [07:55] Eartaker: don't use "su root", use "sudo -i" [07:56] Eartaker: you have to do sudo passwd [07:56] sudo -i works [07:56] just tried === bursihido is now known as Bursihido [07:57] Eartaker: that will set the substitute user password for root but to change to root you don't need to specifity su root just su will do [07:57] sudo -i is what the developers recommend [07:57] aatish: i dont know anything about bluetooth, maybe it prints to the syslog? you can view it with dmesg [07:58] hello,everyone [07:58] atomicfusion: http://www.pastie.org/2191078 ? [07:58] hello apporc [07:59] is opensuse similar to ubuntu [07:59] atomicfusion, your right .... as of now I do not need to but in the future I will and it was just driving me nuts [07:59] Bursihido: just search for the unfufileld dependency "weechat-core" [07:59] Thanks guys for the quick replies [07:59] ok [08:00] atomicfusion: dmsg says that hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout. i once succeeded pairing the headset and successfully transmitted audio to the headset. but i cant anymore. dnt know y. [08:00] Bursihido: here: http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/w/weechat/weechat-core_0.3.5-1_i386.deb [08:00] I am changing my lvm configuration. There are something wrong i think . [08:01] I want to remove some physical volume from a group , so i need to pvmove it at first . [08:01] hey [08:01] guys [08:01] Thank you atomicfusion. :) [08:01] Is there a idea to put many processors i one computer to make it speed up or is that problematic? (thinking of taking the old processor from one computer and put it into another one that allready have one to make the total workforce more effective) [08:01] I pvmove a 20G PV to a 60G pv ,after the move ,the 60G pv is full . [08:02] what is the reason [08:03] eeriks: most motherboards dont support multipel cpus [08:03] if we choose to encrypt a home folder, how do we return an un-ecrypted home folder setup? [08:03] oh, ok [08:03] just buy a great cpu. [08:03] apporc: what does vgdispplay say? [08:03] eeriks: that's the theory behind multi-core processors [08:03] is there any router simulation software for ubuntu ?? [08:04] atomicfusion: the PE size of a 20GB pv is the same as 60GB pv's [08:04] majdekalel: yes, cisco have made some as well [08:04] is it free ? [08:04] or i have to use cracked copy ??? [08:04] Chipzzz How do you mean? [08:04] atomicfusion: when i pvmove a 20GB to a 60GB pv ,all PE is used then , nothing is free . I don't know how to solve this. [08:05] apporc: unless theyres something else on the 60GiB pc, the only thing that i can think of is human error, as that would be a huge bug [08:05] eeriks: a multi-core processor is a lot like having more than one processor in the system [08:05] apporc: which is why i was thinking that you could show me vgdisplay, lvdisplay, and pvdisplay [08:05] majdekalel: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/netacad/course_catalog/PacketTracer.html [08:06] atomicfusion: where should i upload the vgdisplay output [08:06] i know this software [08:06] majdekalel: "The software is available free of charge to all Networking Academy instructors, students, and alumni." [08:06] apporc: pastebin.com should work [08:06] my ubuntu live cd says x86_64 is that i686 or 64 bit? [08:06] 64bit [08:06] ok, so why does they work for the motherboard and not to put in two processors next to each other? [08:06] i386 rather [08:07] eeriks: usually theres only one cpu socket [08:07] baijiu: x86_64 is 64bit [08:07] ok [08:07] thx [08:07] eeriks: im talking about in a physical sense [08:08] ???? [08:08] as you can see in my comments im not that educated in this subject. [08:08] eeriks: if the mobo supports multiple cpu's there is no problem using them [08:08] few do though [08:08] nice [08:09] i just have to lift the box and look, then :) [08:10] eeriks: the few mobo's that do support dual cpu's generally only support two of the same type, though [08:10] ok [08:12] atomicfusion: http://pastebin.com/6qWx98Rs [08:14] Hi there! This is not exactly "ubuntu-only", but... is there any way to make zenity create a drop-down list? like a non-editable combo box? [08:14] atomicfusion: do you get it? thank you for your response. [08:16] apporc: yes, could u upload a little more? can u give the output of "pvdisplay" "vgdisplay" and lvdisplay" with no arguments? [08:17] atomicfusion: ok ,wait a minute please. [08:19] atomicfusion: http://pastebin.com/8eBbaUhh [08:21] I got [fglrx] ASIC hang happened [08:21] apporc: so which is the one that you moved? [08:22] Does that mean the hardware itself hung? [08:22] atomicfusion: i have moved /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda8 [08:22] Or just that some driver told it to go on and on and on. [08:22] how do you pop up that software update windows that periodically appears? [08:22] My SoundMenu disappeared. Advice on where to start looking? [08:22] got it, update manager [08:22] atomicfusion: sda5 ,sda6 ,sda7 is 20G each . sda8 is 60G ,i want to move this three to sda8 ,and pvreduce sda5,sda6,sda7. [08:23] how do i do a proper end an application or script in the terminal? i use Ctrl+Z but someone said that's like undo and should not be used to stop something correct [08:23] of an* [08:23] jacky121: CTRL-C ends a script [08:24] and a program like lynx etc Starminn ? [08:24] apporc: and what reports being full now? [08:25] atomicfusion: it said sda8 is full. [08:25] jacky121: Identify the program, and either "killall " or kill it by the process ID [08:25] atomicfusion: root@apporc-ubuntu:~# pvmove /dev/sda6 /dev/sda8 [08:25] Insufficient free space: 320 extents needed, but only 48 available [08:25] Unable to allocate mirror extents for pvmove0. [08:25] Failed to convert pvmove LV to mirrored [08:26] ok thanks [08:27] apporc: well it sdays that sda8 is only 20GiB here... [08:28] atomicfusion: .... i will check it now . [08:28] atomicfusion: /dev/sda5 3857 6468 20980858+ 8e Linux LVM [08:28] /dev/sda6 6469 9080 20980858+ 8e Linux LVM [08:28] /dev/sda7 9081 11692 20980858+ 8e Linux LVM [08:29] /dev/sda8 11693 19527 62934292+ 8e Linux LVM [08:29] atomicfusion: what wrong with sda8 , fdisk says it is 60G [08:30] apporc: howabout sudo pvresize /dev/sda8 [08:30] apporc: on what you put on pastebin, it says that sda8 is 20GiB [08:31] atomicfusion: i used pvcreate with default arguments to create physical volume sda8 . Should i use some additional arguments for that ? [08:32] apporc: no, the only arguments that you can give pvresize is a new size, but it should autodetect the partition size [08:32] atomicfusion: yeah, PV Size is 20GB . [08:32] apporc: does it let you extend it to 60? [08:33] how to get themes for ubuntu 11.04? [08:33] atomicfusion: yes, the resize succeeded . [08:33] now does your previous command work? [08:34] atomicfusion: yes. it works now . [08:34] apporc: awesome, have a nice night [08:34] atomicfusion: thank you . but what is the reason . [08:34] did u resize /dev/sda8? [08:35] Hi - can some one help me out with how to connect my router through usb - and use that for internet ? [08:35] atomicfusion: is that because when i pvcreate sda8 , i don't give it additional arguments. [08:35] apporc: it shouldnt be [08:35] atomicfusion: sda8 is 60GB ,why the command "pvcreate /dev/sda8" makes it 20GB? [08:35] sharkz:for that you need to configure that [08:36] apporc: the only reasons taht i could see is if you resized /def/sda8, or u gave pvcreate special options [08:36] sharkz you can setup your usb modem with network manager === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [08:37] atomicfusion: i remembered a change now, when i first pvcreate PV sda8 ,the PE Size of the vg system is 32MB , I have just changed that to 64MB yet when i found i can't pvmove . [08:38] atomicfusion: the size of the pv is determined by the PE Size of vg , is that right ? [08:38] apporc: i dont know. i never bothered to learn much about the underlying mechanisms of lvm [08:38] good night everyone [08:39] atomicfusion: thank you very much then .have a good night [08:39] hi there, a little help needed with WoL: I configured WoL and it worked but, tonight I send via ssh halt, now I can't turn it on. Also: I have Linksys WRT54G2 with ip reservation for 166hrs, ports 7-9 forwarded to ip and ubuntu disappeared from dhcp table [08:39] there wasn't power failure [08:40] Ozik: did u unplug it and plug it back in after halting? [08:41] nobody did nothing, also it is a remote location [08:41] i know i somewhat paniched after halting my linksys router, and i had to disconenct and reconnect its power [08:41] Why is sys/event.h missing? :/ [08:41] I've halted ubuntu server 10.04, not router [08:42] oh i see sorry === screen is now known as Guest33974 [08:42] I did halt and then I could WoL it, I've finished working then halt, and now I can't WoL [08:42] ilangeeran, nightrid3r - sorry, cant find any option to choose usb device [08:43] in nm-applet [08:43] ok you can try wvdial [08:43] WRT54G2 doesn't have reservation ip<->MAC but I can reserve it for max 9999 minutes [08:43] sharkz:you can try wvdial [08:44] server had .0.100 [08:44] it has gone, but other offline devices are still there from 101-104 [08:45] I need to apply this patch the driver for my wireless chip to work (http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed@lists.debian.org/msg327720.html), how do I do that? [08:48] sys/event.h anyone? Nobody knows why it's missing? :/ [08:50] JNZ: that is the wrong approach. [08:50] JNZ: explain why you think you should have it? [08:50] how can i see which users are defined with ssh command? I may be missing www-data or some settings for that user [08:52] pozic: Explain why I shouldn't have it! [08:54] JNZ: a computer is a device containing bits of information. If you didn't put the file there, it is not going to be there. [08:55] JNZ: so, if you say you never put it there, there should be no surprise as to it not being there. [08:55] pozic: they left [08:57] is there a guide for mounting a software raid-1 array created in windows? [08:57] anybody tell me why I am getting invalid vpn secrets using openvpn? [08:58] Hi. I wanted to ask something about ssh keys. Do one usually have exact same ssh-key on all machines or unique generated ssh-key for each machine? [08:58] (Ie -- I have 3~ machines. Should I have all same ssh-keygen all over them or I just create unique keys for them?) [09:01] Lasers_: each machine should (normally) have different keys [09:01] Lasers: depends on whether you want to connect FROM or TO them [09:02] tsimpson: Okay. Thank you. I wanted to make sure. Also, how do you manage to keep them arranged? (I never can backup anything properly). :( [09:02] just keep /etc/ssh backed up [09:03] machines you want to connect FROM dont even have to have ANY generated key at all ;) [09:03] hi all [09:03] tsimpson: Noted. Ty. [09:03] just the pub keys from the machines you want to connect TO [09:03] bumping my Q up: I need help with WoL. I confugured it and it worked fine. Even at night I could halt and then wake. Now I can't. Server is behind Linksys WRT54G2, ip reserved for 166hrs (but it disappeared from DHCP table, other offline devices didn't) ports 7-9forwarded [09:03] tsimpson: you mean ~/.ssh [09:03] the keys shouldn't normally change, so you only need to back them up once [09:03] MestreLion: nope [09:04] I'm from italy but on the chat ubuntu-it i don't have find a help [09:04] I meant /etc/ssh, so that's what I said :) [09:04] doesnt that require sudo? [09:05] i have a problem whit wi-fi wireless card Alfa Awuso36h the chip is realtek rtl8187 [09:05] MestreLion: I didn't give a command, so not sure what sudo would apply to [09:05] the problem is whit ubuntu 11.04 [09:06] tsimpson: lets say i want to use my SSH key to connect to another computer without havint to use a password (thats the whole point of using SSH keys, right?) [09:06] Does anyone know where to find the launchctl command? [09:06] can help me here? [09:06] ! realtek | tdk200 [09:06] tdk200: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [09:06] MestreLion: that wasn't the question [09:07] tsimpson: so... do i need to somehow place my public key in /etc ? shouldnt i be able to do so whithout root priviledge? [09:07] MestreLion: each server running sshd has a key, that's the key I'm talking about [09:07] ohhhhhh [09:08] There is a service using launchctl but I can't find the command on Ubuntu. Anyone knows where I can find it? [09:08] i have installed from cd a driver for this card, where i can find a guide for uninstall it? [09:08] tsimpson: i thought Lasers_ was talking about *user* ssh keys [09:09] im so sorry then [09:10] ubrocks: launchctl is from Mac's OSX, not Ubuntu [09:10] nihao [09:11] MestreLion, whoops, thanks. [09:12] how can i hibernate from the command line? (ubuntu 11.04) [09:13] erle-: yes, google knows that. [09:13] I accidentally placed a partition over another one...i need to restore the old one....any ideas??? [09:14] PartRecover, have you tried using gparted? [09:14] i tried using testdisk...but i only find the current partition...not the old one. [09:15] pozic: and google knows maybe how to solve my WoL problem? :) [09:15] im running a deeper search on testdisk now...:S [09:15] Ozik: I read it, but I have no idea on that one. [09:15] PartRecover, you overwrote your partition? [09:15] yes [09:16] ah ok [09:16] what can i do? [09:16] pozic: any idea who can knows? maybe different q: why ubuntu disappeared from dhcp after some time after halt and other devices not [09:17] I want to copy a file into bin folder, why it is showing I am not the owner, permission denied? [09:17] Ozik: do you understand what dhcp does? [09:18] pozic: ofcourse, but WRT54G2 can't do ip<->MAC reservations, so I go around and set 9999 minutes ip reservation, I am able to look into DHCP clients table [09:19] Ozik: so, use static ip addresses. [09:19] Ozik: that's what I do. [09:20] pozic: linksys are weird. DHCP starts from 192.168.0.100, router is on 0.1, even if I set up static ie. 0.5 dhcp somehow override it [09:21] Ozik: you can disable dhcp. [09:21] Ozik: unless the router is really the SUX. [09:21] I accidentally placed a partition over another one by using ntfsclone uncorrectly (source instead of destination, and viceversa)...i need to restore the old one....any ideas??? [09:22] Hiho [09:22] Do someone know the channel xbins ? [09:23] pozic: WRT54G2 really sux, it has firmware 1.5 which can't be replaced by wrt-dd [09:23] Ozik: if you cannot disable dhcp completely, then just throw the router away. [09:24] hi [09:24] pozic: I can do it, but I'm not sjure what will happen then ^^ [09:24] Hi [09:24] Ozik: you have to configure all your clients to use a static ip anyway. [09:24] *shure [09:24] you can always flash tomato onto it [09:25] or whatever is in these days [09:25] tomato? [09:25] firmware for routers [09:26] wrt-dd can be applied but not into WRT54G2, not enough memory LOL [09:26] carldoncarls: wrt54g2 1.5 is not compatible with tomato [09:26] well i'm sure there's gotta be something else besides oem for him that is better [09:27] hice un ntfsclone al revés....sobreescribí la particion donde habia datos con la particion vacia del disco usb...como puedo recuperar la particion anterior??? [09:29] pozic: tell me what exaclty does halt? [09:29] hello people, I have an eeePC and it has a small screen. therefore I want to start using the terminal for sending and receiving emails. I need a hand @ setting up a program for it. for the beginning I don't know what programm should be installed [09:33] yop [09:33] yo [09:34] dirtycookie: I use mutt. It's a bit hard to set up, but I'm sure there's some guides out there. [09:34] geirha: maybe you could walk me through with a little help of pastebin [09:35] soreau, i have a problem. the page you have send to me the patch in the site http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ is not present [09:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [09:40] i cloned an empty disk into a written one with ntfsclone....how can i undo that? [09:40] dirtycookie: http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttFaq and http://www.calmar.ws/mutt/ to start [09:40] i can't find realtekrtl8187b patch [09:41] ck thesss_ar [09:41] ck thesss_ar_ [09:41] llutz: thanks [09:41] help plz!! i cloned an empty disk into a written one with ntfsclone....how can i undo that? [09:41] partrecover have you tried booting from gparted livecd? do you have your first partition structure written down? [09:43] im running a deep search using testdisk now....do you think that would be worthy? [09:44] PartRecover: game over [09:44] no, it won't be a faulty IO of mem [09:44] it's just properly working mem that has improper data now [09:45] Is there a forum for novice programming in c [09:45] x1: try ##c channel [09:45] iknoia: not even photorec? [09:45] PartRecover: in my view - no [09:46] i need to get videos from my miniDV tape onto pc. windows i got no hope left. On ubuntu the tutorials made it look so easy. But it isnt working. [09:46] why is that? [09:46] PartRecover: because that's my opinion based on expereince [09:47] brainwave92: the first question is "is your video device supported in linux" [09:47] brainwave92: no point doing anything else until you know the answer to that [09:47] i have a sony DCRHC40 camera.....i am trying to use firewire [09:48] how do i know if its supported? and if not....how do i go about learning what it takes to even write a driver for it. I know some c++. [09:49] brainwave92: you can't write a driver for it [09:49] like......firewire is supported [09:49] and so should be the sony cam right? [09:49] brainwave92: you probably won't need a "driver" as it's not being used as a device but a video stream, however it does depend on the device, so research if the device is supported [09:49] brainwave92: no, firewire support does not = device support [09:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire [09:49] brainwave92: I know what firewire is [09:50] here they tell about the messages in var/log/kern.log [09:50] i was just saying is that i have no such messages on connecting the cam [09:50] hello every1 :) [09:50] Can someone please help me : http://paste.ubuntu.com/641247/ [09:50] ikonia, i never said you didnt......just making myself clear! Am here to ask help....no ego fights :) [09:51] brainwave92: good luck [09:51] ikonia, i tried asking sony guys, and they are just plain incompitent. [09:51] brainwave92: I doubt that very much [09:52] they are repeating the same phrases like- no we cannot guarantee that. Yes it would be wise to try out other cables. Get the camera repaired. And their most irritating......the OS setting might interfere [09:52] None really telling what the problem is. [09:52] brainwave92: that's quite reasonable [09:53] How come? [09:53] brainwave92: as I've said YOU need to find out if that device is supported under linux [09:53] does anyone know if theres a way to force an encryption of a file with gpg? without setting a trust level? I get a warning that the key may not belong to the person [09:53] Look when other sony cams like HC 36, HC 46 and all are supported....why not HC 40! [09:53] brainwave92: it is real simple: you ask whether they support it, if they don't you get a different camera. [09:53] brainwave92: because it's a different device [09:53] brainwave92: I'm not saying it isn't supported, I'm saying you need to know if it is or not [09:53] i ask to whom? [09:54] brainwave92: you ask to whoever wants to sell you one. [09:54] hell.. they wont know [09:54] brainwave92: or if you already have it, you just try it. [09:54] and they'll probably just tell you yes anyways [09:54] brainwave92: and if it doesn't work, you learned a lesson. [09:54] brainwave92: tons of information on the internet, you could actually ask sony [09:54] if it has a return policy, keep your receipt try it out and take it back [09:54] i tried that.....look i [09:56] brainwave92: the reason it is hard to write a driver is not because writing a driver is hard (for most devices at least), it is because it is secret what you have to send to the device to get a certain response. [09:56] pozic, i understand [09:56] pozic: exactly. -_-o Vendors are deliberatly keeping specs secret [09:57] brainwave92: another reason to buy increasingly more open hardware. [09:58] wait. If the sony guys say it can be used with firewire, and if there are softwares which can capture data from a sony cam (only 1 example is given in that howto) then where can the problem be? [09:58] brainwave92, I had an HP 7XXX scanner, an all the range of scanners of 7000 series worked in linux.... except the one I had, so these things happen [09:59] i would appreciate at least the reason [09:59] brainwave92: the problem is that you have to explain to Linux how to get those images. [10:00] brainwave92: the song guys say it can be used with firewire IF the OS supports it [10:00] Can someone please help me : http://paste.ubuntu.com/641247/ [10:00] brainwave92: this is why I said you need to check it's supportability before wasting time trying to debug an issue [10:01] servet_gozdog: please don't put your question in a pastebin, actually ask the channel [10:01] if it isnt supported what options do i have? === Sergevg is now known as svg [10:01] brainwave92: use it through a supported OS (windows/mac ?) [10:01] servet_gozdog: the solution is simple. [10:01] servet_gozdog: install the proprietary drivers. [10:01] it doesnt work there either. And with that.....at least i am getting in onto issues [10:02] servet_gozdog: for the simple reason that the free drivers like to run your graphics card at full speed for some silly reason. [10:02] brainwave92: if it doesn't work on supported OS's like Windows, there maybe a problem with the device [10:02] the thing is....it is rumoured that MS is reducing firewire functionality. And millions of posts on the internet actually tell you how after an update it stopped working [10:02] brainwave92: that is nosnense [10:02] how after xp to vista, or even xp sp2 to sp3 their devices stopped working [10:03] pozic: you mean i need to install the catalist drivers ? [10:03] servet_gozdog: yes [10:03] servet_gozdog: but you will get a different set of problems back. [10:03] ok listen to this......the sony camera should display dv in on being plugged into the port through a cable.... [10:03] servet_gozdog: amd developers cannot write drivers, it apepars. [10:03] brainwave92: no [10:03] pozic: what problems ? [10:03] appears* [10:03] pozic: hm. [10:03] brainwave92: we are not here to support the windows problem [10:03] ikonia, correct me then [10:03] servet_gozdog: my machine cannot remain up for more than 5 days. [10:04] servet_gozdog: everytime the AMD driver crashes. [10:04] i am saying it doesnt work on windows 'despite' being supported. Its an issue with the OS not the cam. That i'm reasonably sure. So i am here to do it in linux [10:04] cause in linux i have a greater control over system [10:04] brainwave92: no you don't [10:04] ikonia, how come? [10:04] brainwave92: you only have greater control, if you know what you are doing. [10:04] how do you compile a c profram in command line [10:04] pozic, thats why i need help [10:05] brainwave92: you're not listening to what's been said [10:05] brainwave92: if the device isn't working under a supported OS like windows - there is more likley a problem with the device [10:05] hey how can you change drive locations? I installed new HDD and my windows HHD was sdc now its sdb and wont boot threw grub [10:05] ikonia, i had i serviced 2 days back!!!! thats WHY i'm sure its ok [10:06] Hello ubuntu users. Anybody out there that lives in the UK? [10:06] brainwave92: no, that's just mechanical, not software [10:06] how do you compile a c program in command line? [10:06] pozic: many times i installed on ubuntu the catalist drivers but i faced the same problem. also with catalist drivers make my ubuntu crazy. for example now compiz works perfect but after the installation of catalist compiz slow down... :( [10:06] x1: gcc [10:06] ikonia, u say a firmware problem? [10:06] brainwave92: no [10:06] x1: try the ##c [10:06] pozic: there is no way to control the fans ? or not enough to control them ? [10:06] x1: try the ##c channel [10:06] servet_gozdog: also compiz is complete crap. [10:06] I asked them to check. I showed them the not working cable. They said the'll check. [10:07] I even tried a different cable. [10:07] pozic: what we should use as alternate of compiz ? [10:07] kelby - you might try a windows cd boot and rewrite the mbr, that happened to me when a sata plug borked on my mobo [10:07] servet_gozdog: just simple metacity. [10:07] brainwave92: ok, so if someone knows it's working, contact them and ask them how to get it working under windows [10:07] brainwave92: the other option there is a problem with your PC [10:07] servet_gozdog: I think they call it 'no effect'. [10:07] ikonia, invite only, but practically I have a .c how do i compile ie command line [10:07] x1: it's not invite only [10:08] servet_gozdog: Or if you want pretty pictures you could try E17.

[10:08] pozic: yes we call it as no effect... i think it is nice to see(if possible) the desktop little bit nice (with effects....) if you use the computerall day... === themill_ is now known as themill === Guest54854 is now known as arrrcanum42 [10:09] ikonia, yes the pc is possible. And i asked sony the reason. Their answers were flat baseless. They are incompitent, here in India at least. [10:09] well I have windows vista on grub (I havnt used on this setup) and its on sdb but it wont boot, says to install windows cd but the windows 7 is sdc and it just stays maroon screen and goes back to grub [10:09] servet_gozdog: sure, but compiz has been implemented by God knows who and it simply is a bad implementation. [10:09] pozic: e17 is just perfect.. i try it and i read many thinks about it.. but it must have many desktop environments on it.. am am waiting for it.. [10:09] Service center guys were like that. So i am going to write to the higer authorities, but that s a different issue. [10:10] pozic: i even can not use the system tray on 17 :( [10:10] ikonia, how do i check if its a problem with pc? [10:10] brainwave92: ask the sony guys to walk you through the setup, or test with a known working device [10:10] brainwave92: go to whoever sold you the device and let him show you how to get it working on Windows. [10:10] brainwave92: then there is a base line and you can try it on Linux. [10:10] brainwave92: simple. [10:11] kelby - sounds like grub isn't aware of an sdb device being bootable... sec [10:11] pozic: what do you think about beryl ? [10:11] pozic, thanks. i'll do that === x1 is now known as knewb [10:11] if I put the windows disk in wont it put the windows as a boot menu ?? I know once and once only windows did show ubuntu in the boot menu but once only [10:11] servet_gozdog: I classify it in the same area, but that's based on old experience. [10:12] servet_gozdog: I want my machine to respond immediately, not waste time on silly graphics. [10:12] servet_gozdog: some people take it to the extreme and work without X even. [10:12] well windows 7 in on sdb it was on sdc but I never had windows vista but it has always had a option in grub for it under a drive that was my slave but now I upgraded the slave same sata port and its now sdc not sdb === knewb is now known as newb100 [10:13] is there a way to edit grub and change the windows 7 for sdc to sdb [10:14] pozic: you think like this because you need performance or you think that beryl and compiz are not good as techinal ? [10:14] kelbygreen, that is why you should use uuid and not sda etc [10:14] servet_gozdog: technically they suck. [10:14] tried setting bios options so unbuntu boots first then windows then slave and then the the othe way around but with ubuntu first of coarse [10:15] is it possible to make Ubuntu more like Arch Linux? Such as using PKGBUILD files in Ubuntu for compiling, and changing mirrors to make Ubuntu more of a bleeding edge distribution? [10:15] ikonia, how do i "you need to be identified with services" [10:15] how do you use uuid? and can it be changed without a system format [10:15] tuxfan74: not really no, that just makes it your own distro again [10:15] newb100: join the channel #freenode and ask for help [10:15] okay ikonia [10:16] you run sudo blkid to optain uuid's then they are put into fstab [10:16] never knew there was another way to do it its always been sd_ for me [10:17] kelbygreen, you run sudo blkid to optain uuid's then they are put into fstab [10:17] so will I have to do anything else ? [10:17] as with linux I always found its never as simple as a one thing deal to get stuff working [10:17] kelbygreen, reboot [10:18] pozic: i have interested on the code of beryl or compiz projects... But i did not know they suck technicaly... you mean linux and opengl deserves more than this projects ... !? [10:18] what is best flash player ? need one. should i install adobe or something else [10:18] staz_: adobe [10:19] ok ty [10:19] or html5 :D [10:20] servet_gozdog: there is only adobe [10:20] servet_gozdog: sorry, that was for staz_ [10:21] kelbygreen, yes be very careful as a mistake after fstab changes you have to run sudo update-grub which might fix your problem on its own [10:27] Hi I'm trying to customize my ubuntu with themes, but even when I install the most popular ones, it looks great except for the launchbar (is that what it's called?) on top [10:28] because it gives white text on a light gray background which makes it almost unreadable and its not like in the screenshot [10:28] ikonia, I use cc, which parameters you recomend [10:29] jos, think only radiance and ambiance themes can change the unity panel [10:29] jos: which ubunu? [10:30] 11.04 [10:30] hello [10:30] jos: besides... you mean the launcher (at left side) or the top panel? [10:31] the top panel [10:31] perhaps I can show you, one sec [10:32] i'd like to ask some help: i just installed 11.04, and purged pulseaudio because of the not functioning microphone, and tried to use Volti as sound mixer, but it is freezing [10:32] newb100: it depends on what you want to do, as I've said ##c and #gcc would be the best place to ask [10:32] "can't open Master control for card SB, trying to select first available mixer channel" [10:32] ok tks [10:32] MestreLion: I'm trying to change it to this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Zukitwo?content=140562 [10:33] but the topbar turns light grey when i enable it [10:33] jos: as Robin said, only the default Radiance and Ambiante will correctly display nice in Unity [10:33] hm... hm.. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=windows_ubuntu_pow [10:34] jos: besides, that theme was designed for Gnome-shell (Gnome3 / GTK+3)... Ubuntu uses Gnome2... it wont work [10:35] ah i see [10:35] with ubuntu "11.04", the "xserver-xorg-video-vesa" driver gives a blank screen on some intel mother with an integrated video card. theres nothing i can do is there? [10:36] in 11.04, Unity is just a (huge) custom compiz plugin... but under the hood its still Gnome2/GTK+2 === red_rail is now known as red_ [10:37] in 11.10 it will (hopefully) be integrated with Gnome3 and use GTK+3 libraries... but it will still NOT be Gnome-Shell... [10:38] consolers: you can use something else than vesa or change version or friking ignore ubuntu version because issue has nothing to do with ubutu XX.XX [10:40] Hey, is there any way of reading the topic with Telepathy when its too big to fit the window? /topic tries to set it, not read it :/ [10:40] Hrm, NVM, stretching the window over multiple workspaces works ^_^ === matthew is now known as Guest22951 [10:44] MestreLion, it already is in alpha 2 and gnome shell is in the software centre so can be installed [10:46] robin0800: no doubt it will be avaliable, but... wouldnt using it be asking for trouble? :P [10:47] feels like installing gnome3 from PPA in 11.04 [10:47] join #ogd === sun_ is now known as Guest5183 [10:47] it is avaliable, it can be installed... but it doubt it will work flawleslly without some major taking [10:48] tweaking* [10:48] Hi. I fanally got around to getting my Sixxs tunnel - now I want to enable IPv6 privacy extensions. Setting net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2 via sysctl works fine, but requires a reconnect.

Where does Banshee write log messages? [11:00] bullgard4: do a search for redirect.log [11:00] bullgard4: I'd guess /var/log somewhere, but it could also be in your home dir [11:01] ikonia: '~$ locate redirect.log' does not produce any output. [11:02] bullgard4: looking at the man page --redirect.log is not a valid option [11:02] mm [11:02] bullgard4: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/banshee.1.html === PAM is now known as xia-PAM [11:04] ikonia: I consulted the manpage before I posted here. --redirect log is not listed there as an option. Still, the GNOME menu uses this option. I believe that the manpage is outdated. It is dated 2009. [11:05] Anybody remember a program to see how the services/process startup in boot??? The program generates a graphic... i dont remember the name :( [11:05] bullgard4: well, I don't believe it is, [11:05] bullgard4: do banshee --help [11:05] bullgard4: do you see the option? [11:06] ikonia: I do not see the option. But --help does not list all options. [11:07] bullgard4: so the man page doesn't list it, --help doesn't list it, and the command doesn't appear to work, so that to me suggests it's not a valid option [11:07] Why so many people here, but does not talk? [11:07] bullgard4: or the option isn't doing what you expect it to do, eg: it's actually not a log file redirector [11:07] xia-PAM: please - you've been asked and told this is a support channel [11:07] ikonia: Yes, this may be an explanation. -- Thank you. [11:08] yea [11:08] but u told me that room [11:08] no one talk [11:08] it's so weird [11:08] xia-PAM: Many Ubuntu users prefer to idle.

How can I force my system to use the integrated chip in my computer? I have these new ATI "swichable" graphics and it's been nothing but trouble since I installed ubuntu on here. [11:11] is there something else i can try [11:11] francisco_t: bootchart :) [11:11] How can I install firefox5 on ubuntu? Tried software center, synaptic package manager, and plain download [11:11] Hi. I had some trouble yesterday getting a Samsung CLX-3175N network attached printer/scanner to work with SANE. The answer involves custom hacking of my install, where's a good place to write this up? Ubuntu really needs to update its sane-backends, which is the main issue. [11:12] softare center says its already installed (true - 3.6 runs here), synaptic package manager doesnt have ff5, and the download gives a tar.bz2 file [11:12] my best bet at this point seems to be reviving the xfree86 from 2006 for this box.

[13:25] but it says its bootable though [13:25] ubuntufreak21: I'm sure it is [13:25] ubuntufreak21: bootability has nothing to do with how it's mounted [13:26] Ok, thanks.

[13:29] Anyway, I had a screaming baby to tend to... back to installer issues. [13:29] no [13:30] ubuntufreak21: ok, so unmount it, and put an ubuntu compatible file system on it with a tool such as gparted [13:30] ikonia: what key? [13:30] ubuntufreak21: at that point you'll have no problem [13:30] caps_l0ck: the encyption key [13:30] i answer that to [13:30] Any guess why the 11.04 hardware-detect piece doesn't see a simple 40gb ata drive that the 8.04 installer did?

THanks [13:31] terminal and apt-get to install [13:31] ikonia: is there a way I can find the enc key? [13:31] I'm running natty on a pentium 4 - should I give unity the blame for running the system at 100% cpu doing nothing? [13:31] mnemonic76: so it can see the drive, [13:32] use gnome classic to try [13:32] eon: what other OS [13:32] ikonia: yes... the SHELL can, but the installer script misses it! Strange to me, but I never had to dig this deep into the installer scripts before. [13:32] d0me5t0s: no, you should research it to find out what's eating the resource [13:32] ikonia: pinguy OS [13:33] eon: ok - so that's nothing to do with ubuntu [13:33] eon: so we don't support/help with that [13:33] ikonia: is there a way I can find the enc key? [13:33] !mint | eon (This is Ubuntu Channel) [13:33] eon (This is Ubuntu Channel): Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [13:33] ikonia, gnome-system-monitor is at the top of the CPU% list, but only at say 20% [13:34] everything else is below the radar [13:34] d0me5t0s: so then there is no cpu issue [13:35] well the cpu history chart in System monitor shows 100% [13:35] d0me5t0s: but it's not showing it now [13:35] Madara`, I've heard that VLC can stream live audio, but I've never tried it ...you'll have to research it , but there's support at #videolan [13:35] bout to install for the first time. Wish me luck [13:36] that's what's weird, I'm getting 100%, with only one process showing significant CPU and then only 20% - my assumption was that the rest is taken up by processes showing 0% [13:36] d0me5t0s: are you currently getting %100 cpu usage, yes/no [13:36] Crap. Forgot CD-rom on laptop is dead. Can I boot from USB just the same? [13:36] k I unmounted what next? [13:37] ubuntufreak21: open gparted and put an ubuntu compatible file system (ext4) on it [13:37] yes - top is showing 70%us and 30%sy [13:37] BluesKaj, thank you will give it a try [13:37] d0me5t0s: ok, so it's a user process [13:37] d0me5t0s: launch "top" and see what's using cpu [13:38] can you give me an example of one [13:38] ubuntufreak21: an example of what ? [13:38] ext 4 [13:38] ubuntufreak21: that IS the file system, ext4 [13:39] thanks ikonia - I'll investigate further along those lines [13:39] oh [13:39] ubuntufreak21: have you opened gparted ? [13:39] yes [13:39] i unmounted file [13:39] ubuntufreak21: right, so there should be an option if you click on the partition to put a file system on it [13:39] ubuntufreak21: or "format" it [13:39] ikonia: Lasers ubottu Mint or ubuntu , they work the same , so the problems are solved ine the same manner . any way thanks for your help guys :) [13:40] um actually it wont let me unmount [13:40] Hello ? [13:40] i thought it unmounted but it didnt [13:41] eon: you're not using it - so it's not supported here [13:41] Aple: go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download it kindof walks you through it. [13:42] Aple: there's help getting it loaded on a usb drive, even if you're using windows! [13:42] Got an issue with lxde here - help please :p I installed it ("sudo apt-get install lxde"), but all tutorials say i just have to re-login, although that didn't work, and i have no idea where to enable it :/ (Ubuntu 11.04) [13:43] ikonia: The live desktop sees the drive too, but ubiquity fails 'unexpectedly'. Is there a way to install from the livecd without using the Ubiquity installer? [13:44] mnemonic76: use the alternative install CD [13:44] mnemonic76: make sure you log a bug too though [13:44] pseubodot, isnt it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texinfo ? [13:44] Crupulus, you click your name and select it at the bottom of the screen [13:45] ikonia: Yeah, I started with the minimal net boot cd, then tried the alternative... exact same issue. The hardware-detect sees a sata controller (there is none) then gives me the option to install to iSCSI (there is none) [13:46] how my gibs are so large like for sda1 its 231.90 GiB, /devsda2 extended 1012.00 MiB and for /dev/sda5 linux swap its 1012.00MiB [13:46] ubuntufreak21: what are you talking about [13:46] ikonia: i will definitely submit a bug (first time for that ) [13:47] it wont letr me unount [13:47] ubuntufreak21: reboot then [13:47] robin0800 I'm currently on Unity i think, and when i click my name (top-right) I don't really have any option that can let me do that. I have the "About me", Chat Accounts, Broadcast accounts, etc. but not really what I need [13:48] on the red round thing on my login above my username should i click on that so it says my username or should it say ubuntu 11.04/ [13:48] Crupulus, at the logon screen [13:48] ubuntufreak21: just reboot your machine [13:48] ah :D hold on [13:48] ok [13:49] Crupulus, log off, click your name to login, under that should be an option to choose [13:49] found, thanks [13:49] how much RAM does a 64bit support? [13:50] ikonia: you're a saint. I was trying to help him last night. he reminds me of a kid I work with... jumps around a bit. [13:50] JayVan: like 384 GB or something ridiculous [13:51] JayVan: a lot more than you could ever have [13:51] hey guys.. i'm looking for the location of local shared objects, but the filepath ~/.macromedia/ doesn't seem to exist? [13:51] JayVan: mnemonic76 wikipedia says that amd64 currently limits the address space to 256 TB [13:52] Gama11: It's hidden [13:52] I see, I have a system that runs on 533MHZ, but I have 6GB worth of 667 MHZ and I also have 4GB worth of 533MHZ. Am i better off with the 667MHZ even though the system will run at 533 anyways? [13:52] Gama11: Ctrl + H (to toggle visibility for hidden files/folders) -- If you haven't done that. [13:52] JayVan: askm the guys in ##hardware [13:52] thanks! [13:52] Gama11, ~ is home and . is hidden so now you know [13:52] oh.. didn't know, thx lasers_ [13:52] JayVan: If have 32bit hardware then you can only use 3.2Gb of ram. [13:52] how to add gmail account in empathy....only jabber appears in my empathy [13:53] JayVan: I can't say if more ram is better than less faster ram. #hardware should know [13:53] is there any way to get the recently released ubuntu.. [13:53] edbian: Maybe that's windows limitation or something.. i have that number stuck in my head. [13:53] babu: Go to the website? It's free [13:53] ctrl + h - i begin to like this os more and more :D [13:53] i didn't have high bandwith so i'm unable to download [13:53] last question, how can I get the window snapping feature of Natty in Maverick? already tried Grid in compiz didnt like it [13:53] babu: get it of linux magazines [13:53] off linux magazines [13:54] how to add gmail account in empathy....only jabber appears in my empathy [13:54] k back [13:54] babu: Get Debian. So little updates. Rock stable. Never need to download extra packages you never used. [13:54] babu: you realise gmail is a mail service, [13:54] k back [13:54] Lasers_: please don't talk nosense [13:54] Lasers_: if he has bandwidth issues, ubuntu or debian will make no difference [13:55] hey ikonia what next? [13:55] i'm using two monitors, but some of the tray icons seem to be missing on the right one.. (ubuntu 11.04, unity) [13:55] ubuntufreak21: open gparted and format the disk with ext4 === l0nwlf__ is now known as l0nwlf_ [13:56] k [13:57] babu: Just enter your gmail XMPP user name and gmail.com as server. Should work because gmail uses jabber/XMPP protocol. [13:57] i still cant format [13:57] anything [13:57] ubuntufreak21: you need to give details [13:57] permisiion denied [13:58] ubuntufreak21: how did you launch gparted ? [13:58] from synaptic package manager [13:58] ubuntufreak21: no, you don't launch software from the package manager, so I'll ask again how did you launch it [13:59] ubuntufreak21: synaptic is not used to launch (start) programs. It's used to install programs from the repos. [14:00] babu: Jabber IS XMPP, so just enter your accoutn data. [14:00] i searched gparted partition manager in synaptics installed it and searches for it on computer and launched it [14:00] ubuntufreak21: How did you 'search for it on the computer.' ? [14:00] ubuntufreak21: tell you what, open a terminal and type "gksudo gparted" [14:00] edbian: I can't be bothered, lets just cut to the chase [14:01] ikonia: I love the chase. === vDubG is now known as vDubG__Gone [14:01] * edbian is curious how one gets gparted to open without root privs === debd is now known as damno [14:02] gksu [14:02] edbian: is that possible?? [14:02] it brings me back to the same thing lol [14:02] damno: I don't think so :) [14:02] to the same gparted lol [14:02] lol [14:03] ubuntufreak21: Are you miss typing your password? [14:03] no [14:03] edbian: but why would you want to do that? [14:04] nope [14:04] damno: Perhaps you just wanna look at your hdd partitions and not edit them and you don't have root privs? I don't think he should be doing that in this case. [14:04] ubuntufreak21: is the usb disk mounted ? [14:04] one is [14:04] but not the rest [14:04] ubuntufreak21: is the one you are trying to format mounted [14:04] yes [14:04] ubuntufreak21: I told you it has to be unmounted [14:04] ubuntufreak21: you need to start listening and paying attention to what you are doing and being told to do [14:04] edbian: then just use the disk usage analyzer from the accessories menu [14:05] i tried to do that but it keeps saying permission denied! [14:05] damno: good point! :P [14:05] edbian: :) [14:05] ubuntufreak21: I told you to reboot, and then do it [14:05] ubuntufreak21: What EXACTLY did you do/try? [14:05] i did [14:05] i got these errors in apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/641345/ [14:05] ubuntufreak21: ok - so did it unmount ? [14:05] ikonia: patience :) [14:05] aborady: reading [14:05] wait im sorry permission is not denied [14:06] it says ineed to unmount manually [14:06] aborady: This happens occasionally. You want the fix, the explanation, both, or neither? [14:06] ubuntufreak21: ok do that [14:06] how can i get this fix ? [14:06] what are the syntax commands [14:07] ubuntufreak21: sudo mount /media/$disk_name [14:07] aborady: sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* [14:07] aborady: remove that repo [14:07] aborady: the sudo apt-get update and things should be back to normal [14:08] Question: how can I get the window snapping feature of Natty in Maverick? already tried Grid in compiz didnt like it [14:08] it happened before and i think wrote that before [14:08] what i've to do to prevent that to happen again [14:08] aborady: remove that repo [14:08] JayVan: It's part of wobbly windows or window snap (they are mutually exclusive [14:08] aborady: remove that repo [14:08] ok i did , now updating [14:09] edbian, cant seem to find that feature in Compiz in maverick. is it part of unity in Natty? [14:09] it came to this /media is not a block device [14:09] ubuntufreak21: what did I tell you to do [14:10] ubuntufreak21: what command did I tell you to use [14:10] this is so hilarious ha ha [14:10] hi [14:10] ubuntufreak21: no - it's actually not [14:10] JayVan: Wobbly has been around for a long time. I'm sure it's there. Are you looking in ccsm under effects? [14:10] ubuntufreak21: it's getting really annoying that you can't follow instructions or listen to what's been said [14:10] ubuntufreak21: what command did I give you to use [14:10] my comp is being stupid [14:10] ubuntufreak21: no - you are [14:10] hendaus: hello [14:10] Who's ready for a challenge? [14:10] whoa [14:10] ubuntufreak21: what command did I give you to use [14:10] Reighnakj: oohh :) [14:10] edbian, let me try once more. im on Win 7 right now so I have to reboot and try later [14:11] sudo mount /media/$disk_name [14:11] JayVan: Ok. [14:11] ubuntufreak21: what command did you run [14:11] edbian: thanx, why .mkv file cannot play with totem [14:11] When I but to ubuntu from HD, I get the screen with the ubuntu logo and the loading dots. It says "An error occurred while mount: Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" [14:11] read it and find out [14:11] edbian* [14:11] ubuntufreak21: sudo umount /dev/disk_name [14:11] ubuntufreak21: run that command [14:12] ubuntufreak21: replace "disk_name" with the name of the disk that is mounted [14:12] edbian: an error occured,Could not determine type of stream [14:12] ok i know that [14:12] can i clone my os over to another hdd? [14:12] hendaus: not sure. Do you have gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-ugly installed? [14:12] dancerfire: yes [14:12] dancerfire: Yes. [14:12] Reighnakj: reading [14:12] edbian: I edited /etc/fstab last night, which I think did this. [14:12] k [14:12] Reighnakj: Almost def. Do you have a live CD ? [14:12] rephrase: how? [14:12] Sorry for off topic question: Do any of you cycle to work? [14:13] edbian: wait let me see [14:13] Is that a CD that I burned the ISO to?

[14:13] Reighnakj: yes. Remember to use my name like I'm doing for you. [14:13] Reighnakj: yes [14:13] edbian: yes, I do. [14:13] Andrew131: I computer to work. [14:14] edbian, pm [14:14] edbian: I don't want to have to reformat ubuntu though becuase I spent like 2 or 3 hours downloading WoW to it last night. [14:14] it says this sudo apt-get install udo [14:14] ubuntufreak21: what ? [14:14] edbian: Will your method of what your thinking just fix my problem? [14:14] so how would i clone ubuntu over to another hdd? [14:14] sorry [14:14] Reighnakj: We'll just fix fstab. Boot the live CD :) [14:14] Reighnakj, did you run sudo update-grub [14:14] Reighnakj: If you follow my instructions carefully this will not take long. [14:15] edbian: how can i see brother coz i am newbie and i am using the natty version [14:15] hendaus: brother? [14:15] edbian: booting from CD now. [14:15] Reighnakj: nervously waiting [14:15] actually it said this udo: unmount: command not found [14:15] On topic question is it possible to use the HDMI port with an nvidia optimus card? Best I can tell no [14:15] ubuntufreak21: umount [14:15] ubuntufreak21: It's umount [14:15] ubuntufreak21: look at the command I gave you [14:15] 15:11 < ikonia> ubuntufreak21: sudo umount /dev/disk_name [14:16] ubuntufreak21: "sudo" - not "udo" and "umount" not "unmount" [14:16] ubuntufreak21: I've told you this many times now, please pay attentiopn [14:16] edbian: it would help if I had the CD in the CD-ROM. [14:16] i did put that sudo unmount /dev/Kingston [14:16] but it keeps saying udo [14:16] Reighnakj: That would be nice :) [14:16] lol [14:16] ubuntufreak21: umount not unmount [14:16] 16:10 < ikonia> ubuntufreak21: it's getting really annoying that you can't follow instructions or listen to what's been said [14:16] wow [14:16] oh [14:17] edbian: ok just for respect [14:17] hendaus: ? [14:17] ubuntufreak21: the command is "sudo" not "udo" and the command is "umount" not "unmount" [14:17] hendaus: I have no idea what you're talking about. [14:17] udo unmount /dev/Kingston [14:17] sudo: unmount: command not found [14:17] edbian: I am at a screen with an icon = and another icon [14:17] ubuntufreak21: Are you kidding? [14:17] Reighnakj: ... That's vague? [14:18] ubuntufreak21: *umount* [14:18] Reighnakj: What do these icons represent? [14:18] edbian one is a rectangle looking brief case and the other is a stick person in a circle. [14:18] edbian: you told me to see if gstreamer-plugins... are installed , i told you i am newbie where can i see if the plugin installed or not [14:19] edbian: there, it moved passed that screen. [14:19] Reighnakj: Oh. The CD is still booting. That is the infamous stick man screen. It means 'press the keyboard to get to human interaction' [14:19] It is horribly vauge, not your fault. [14:19] nihow [14:19] * vlt sends ikonia a cup of tea. [14:19] whats the best irc client for untuntu that i can get with apt-get [14:19] chinese? [14:19] hendaus: You can search them in synaptic. green boxes mean installed :) [14:19] red_rail, there is not a best [14:19] !best | red_rail [14:19] red_rail: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:19] !best | red_rail [14:19] hendaus: Why did you say brother?

[14:19] edbian: this is where I have always gotten stuck when I boot from CD. I am now at the ubuntu loading screen. [14:20] LOL [14:20] edbian: forget it :) [14:20] red_rail, xchat irssi quassel weechat and others are there. choose one from the package manager and decide [14:20] Reighnakj: The CD gets stuck too? I thought you said the HDD install would get stuck? How did you install Ubuntu? [14:20] hendaus: :) [14:20] thanks [14:21] * edbian thinks ubuntufreak21 was a troll [14:21] Is there a way to install ubuntu 11.04 from the livecd without using the Ubiquity installer? A manual way from terminal maybe? [14:21] edbian: I was trying to boot from disc and load it that way so it would take all the memory on my HD (I assumed) but I had to download it from my Windows XP environment. [14:21] cdavis: since jaunty is EOL, repositories have been moved, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:21] edbian: it normally just sits at the ubuntu loading cd for a looooooooooong time with the dots moving. [14:21] Reighnakj: I think you installed using wubi. [14:22] Reighnakj: You installed from inside windows? [14:22] edbian: He was on for hours last nite asking the same kinds of questions.. he got impatient and insulted someone, then felt bad and apollogised. I think he's a young kid. [14:22] mnemonic76: thanks [14:22] edbian: I installed from my laptop with Windows 7. [14:22] edbian: wait... [14:22] Reighnakj: Yeah. So you've never booted a liveCD or liveUSB [14:22] Reighnakj: waiting :) [14:22] edbian: I downloaded it from Windows 7 and burned it to a disk on Windows 7. [14:23] oCean: Thanks but I don't want to upgrade. I need to install Jaunty with bacula for a test. [14:23] edbian: yes are installed [14:23] cdavis: have you read the link I sent? [14:23] Reighnakj: Ok. So then you put the CD in the drive and booted it? (You're implying conflicting things) [14:23] thnx removing the repo success [14:23] oCean: I read the first paragraph or two, it talked about why upgrade and how to do it....I will go re-read it [14:24] thaaaank you everybody [14:24] edbian: I tried to do that, but it would just sit at the screen with the loading dots too long. [14:24] hendaus: I'm not sure then. Try using VLC [14:24] i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? [14:24] edbian: So, I stopped trying that and just ran the CD in Windows XP. [14:24] cdavis: it explains that eol repositories are available in a new url e.g. old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [14:24] Reighnakj: Ok. So you're never gotten a liveCD to boot. Do you have windows7 and windowsxp ? [14:25] edbian: The machine I am trying to put ubuntu on has XP. [14:25] i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? [14:25] this chat isn't workng [14:25] Reighnakj: The laptop has windows 7 (that laptop that created the liveCD) is that right? [14:25] edbian: Should I log onto Windows XP and download ubuntu from there and make the CD on that desktop? [14:25] Reighnakj: I understand now I think. You installed using wubi on your windows xp machine [14:26] edbian: what is wubi? [14:26] Reighnakj: The OS is likely not the cause of the problem. (win 7 or xp) LiveCDs sometimes don't like to boot because the CD has errors on it. From dust or from the burn or from the ISO originally. [14:26] wubi is windows installer for ubuntu [14:26] Reighnakj: wubi is software that lets you install Ubuntu from inside windows. It does not require y ou to boot a liveCD [14:27] that install virtual harddriver and let's select windows or Ubuntu on boot [14:27] Reighnakj: If you used wubi you have 'ubuntu' as an installed program in add/remove on windows. [14:27] ron34563654: What client do you use? [14:27] Dynamit: edbian: I just opened mycomputer and right clicked the E: drive and did auto play. [14:27] then the installer poped up. [14:27] Reighnakj: That's wubi [14:28] edbian: when I try to boot from disk though, it just sits at the ubuntu screen. Is wubi a bad thing? [14:28] Reighnakj: Wubi is not *bad* it just often complicates things. Like right now I'm not sure I could fix your fstab from memory. [14:28] oCean: Thank you [14:28] Dynamit: I have to select that everytime I start my computer. [14:29] anyone here play quake live? [14:29] I just accidentally detached this room from xchat. How do I re-attach it?? [14:29] Reighnakj: anywho. Fixing it might be hard. Can you talk to me while you try to boot ubuntu (from the hdd) of the target machine? [14:29] nevermind, figured out the attach thing [14:30] edbian: update.... [14:30] Reighnakj: update? [14:30] edbian: After letting the ubuntu loading screen go for a while, I have an error. [14:30] edbian: Let me pastebin it. [14:30] Reighnakj: I/O error sr0 ? [14:30] * Dynamit is away: äter [14:31] mneptok: Not so young he can't pastebin! :) [14:31] nihow [14:31] !afk > Dynamit [14:31] savr, stop that [14:31] Dynamit, please see my private message [14:31] japanese? [14:31] ok [14:31] Hi! I have some questions relating to windows server and ubuntu, can someone help me? [14:32] !ask | Alan502 [14:32] Alan502: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:32] edbian: http://pastebin.com/95btt5Jd [14:33] Well, is ubuntu compatible with windows server networks like macintosh machines? [14:33] edbian: "Udevd[76]: worker [167] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100" [14:33] Reighnakj: Yeah it had trouble reading the CD. I don't wanna bother with the CD. Can you try to boot Ubuntu on the target machine (from the hdd) and still talk to me at the same time? I wanna try to do the manual thing together [14:33] Reighnakj: Forget these errors [14:33] Yes [14:33] edbian [14:33] Reighnakj: great, do it [14:34] edbian: normal or recovery mode? [14:34] Reighnakj: try recovery mode! Does it work? [14:35] edbian: no. === thiago is now known as Guest2466 [14:35] hello everybody! [14:35] edbian: it says an error while mount press s or m. [14:35] Reighnakj: what is s and what is m? [14:35] Alan502: I think you need to be more specific. [14:35] edbian: Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery. [14:36] vlt, thanks, but I'm not really familiar with Windows Server myself :P [14:36] have any one use this service http://www.asterisk.org/ on ubuntu [14:36] Reighnakj: What happens with S ? (can't imagine it's ok to skip any mounting) [14:36] edbian: there is an error above that... "WARNING: bad format on line 10 of /etc/fstab" [14:36] maybe if I explain my problem more clearly [14:36] Bipul: Service? [14:36] like VoIP Calls [14:36] edbian: S got me to the recovery menu. [14:36] Reighnakj: You editing /etc/fstab is the problem. [14:37] Reighnakj: what is the recovery menu like? [14:37] Does anyone here have experience with tf (Tiny Fugue)? I'm having problems compiling it with the SOCKS option. [14:37] I'm going to a school where they use windows server for file sharing, e-mail and other purposes; AFAIK both windows machines and macintosh machines are compatible with their configuration but I'd like to know if ubuntu is compatible as well? [14:37] Bipul: What do you actually want to know? [14:37] edbian: Menu: resume "resume normal boot", clean "try to make free space" dpkg"repair broiken packages" [14:37] ... [14:37] vlt, can i pm you [14:37] Alan502: That's hard to answer if the question is that unspecific. [14:37] !pm | Bipul [14:37] Bipul: 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. [14:38] edbian: failsafeX"run in failsafe graphic mode" fsck "reboot into file system check" [14:38] Reighnakj: What's the last option? drop to root root [14:38] Yes, I'm not being clear enough. [14:38] edbian: yes [14:38] Reighnakj: do that one [14:38] Bipul: there is a specific #asterisk channel [14:38] i want's to setup a Open SOurce Communication on my ubuntu [14:38] edbian: k [14:38] Alan502: Ubuntu can mount file shares. Ubuntu can connect to an IMAP server. [14:38] Reighnakj: Perhaps we can use that to edit /etc/fstab so it's correct again [14:38] im a brazilian user of ubuntu :) hello people [14:38] edbian: vi /etc/fstab? [14:38] Anyone with experience with tf? [14:38] But, what is compatible and what is not compatible from ubuntu to windows server? [14:39] Reighnakj: ugh, nano /etc/fstab [14:39] edbian: :-P [14:39] !anyone | etel [14:39] etel: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [14:39] Anybody have a working wubi /etc/fstab please!? :) [14:39] edbian: in. [14:39] Reighnakj: great! [14:39] Reighnakj: editing that file? [14:39] edbian: Yes. [14:39] Reighnakj: What were you trying to accomplish by editing this file in the first place? [14:39] thank you vit. I did previously. [14:40] edbian: I was trying to add a swapfile to give more memory to ubuntu so WoW could run. [14:40] Alan502: To answer that I think we'll have to create a list of single features and see if it's supported somehow or not. [14:40] perhaps what are the "main features" that are not supported? [14:40] Reighnakj: a-ha What does /etc/fstab look like right now? can you pastebin it? [14:40] edbian: give me a minute. [14:40] Reighnakj: take your time [14:41] Hi, rhin0 tells me that it is better to use python for shell scripting than a scripting language like bash or csh. Is this true? [14:41] !who | Alan502 [14:41] Alan502: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:41] i said it *may* be -- in some circumstances [14:41] Reighnakj: do the errors say what is wrong with /etc/fstab? Like which partitions are not mounting or line numbers or anything? [14:41] vlt, perhaps what are the "main features" that are not supported? [14:41] Alan502: I don't know. Name a feature and we'll see ;-) [14:41] * rhin0 pokes sublime in the eye, deliberately [14:42] Hahaha, that's the thing! but thanks [14:42] good thing about python is its always there and has its own shell -- can even replace the bash shell (idle) [14:42] http://pastebin.com/tL2ZHLyF [14:43] edbian^ [14:43] sublime: There is no single "best". Each has its uses. [14:43] edbian: I can't remember. [14:43] rhin0, python is NOT a replacement for sehll scripting [14:43] Reighnakj: ok [14:43] edbian: I am concerned with the last three lines actually. [14:43] oCean, of course. I am asking specifically about shell scripting [14:43] Reighnakj: reading... [14:44] edbian: the first one looks like it should say "/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk/" where it is missing a "h" and has an extra " " [14:44] well there is an unnecessary enter in there [14:44] The last two should be one line [14:44] is there any program in ubuntu that is an offline journal and lets me import old blogger entries into it? [14:44] sublime: it depends on what you want to do. It's quite a generic discussion, so you might also try the relevant channels and/or ##linux [14:44] edbian: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ [14:44] hang on [14:45] edbian: is there anyway to undo all that and get my /etc/fstab/ back to normal? [14:45] edbian: I still really don't even know what that did. [14:45] !swap | Reighnakj ::this guide is the best [14:45] Reighnakj ::this guide is the best: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [14:45] Reighnakj: Is there a /etc/fstab.bak or something like that? [14:46] edbian: I dought it. [14:46] Reighnakj: Unless you made it manually there will not be one [14:46] edbian: no. [14:47] Reighnakj: Ok. Hang on. I'm editing the /etc/fstab [14:47] edbian: vi was giving me a hard time so I may have messed up more than just entering the last line. [14:47] edbian: Plus, it is a read-only file now, I think. [14:48] Reighnakj: http://pastebin.com/wYTxwAL3 [14:49] Reighnakj: I think that is correct. Remember to put that h back on the second line. If you can't edit / save do sudo nano /etc/fstab (but you're root so you should be able to edit) [14:49] edbian: Before that... at the bottom of nano, it says "[ Read 12 lines (Warning: No write permission) ]" [14:49] edbian: i'll try sudo. [14:49] Reighnakj: strange. exit nano and use nano [14:49] Reighnakj: exit nano and use sudo nano* [14:50] edbian: that gave me a blank file. [14:50] Reighnakj: sudo nano /etc/fstab of course :) [14:50] edbian: why? [14:50] Reighnakj: To edit the file as root so we have writing permission [14:50] edbian: sudo nano /etc/fstab/* [14:51] Reighnakj: sudo nano /etc/fstab/ is the command [14:51] :P [14:51] edbian: so this will overwrite the old file? [14:51] edbian: it has no text when I do that command. [14:51] Reighnakj: no === sublime is now known as void_pointer [14:51] Reighnakj: what... [14:51] Reighnakj: Are you making a typo? [14:51] edbian: Reighnakj remove the trailing slash [14:51] Reighnakj: drop the trialing / [14:51] oCean: thanks [14:51] blah [14:51] lol [14:52] Reighnakj: sudo nano /etc/fstab [14:52] :) [14:52] * edbian puts his hair back in his head. [14:52] edbian: I don't know why you have to do that with sudo, but ok. [14:52] edbian: I need a guide that tells me all the basic commands still. [14:52] ... [14:52] Reighnakj: Me either. We're in a root shell so we shouldn't have to sudo anything at all. === debian2 is now known as tin45 [14:52] Reighnakj: sudo -> makes you root nano -> text editor [14:53] edbian: I am in. [14:53] edbian: Let me try what you gave me. [14:53] Reighnakj: great [14:53] It's an educated guess. I'm not sure the file is correct [14:54] There was a trailing period on the third line that was very confusing. [14:54] edbian: what about the space after root.disk [14:54] can anyone tell me what codecs needs to play a .mkv file on natty plz! [14:54] Reighnakj: that space is fine. It's actually a tab [14:54] Reighnakj: The file is a table. The columns are listed at the top. [14:55] Reighnakj: file system, mount point, type [14:55] Reighnakj: get it? [14:55] yes [14:55] Reighnakj: :) [14:55] edbian: "[ Error writing /etc/fstab: Read-only file system ]" [14:55] edbian: that was from me trying to exit and save. [14:55] Reighnakj: oohhhh, maybe the whole OS is read only right now. [14:55] arrrgghgh [14:56] Reighnakj: So I can now see the error but we cannot change the file. [14:56] How can one remove launcher from the Unity side bar? [14:56] can i able to install Asterisk Linux Ubuntu 10.10 [14:56] whole system read only o_O ...... [14:56] Northernen: drag it out¿¿ [14:56] is there a native application for MTP devices in ubuntu? [14:56] edbian: could it have been from the command I entered off http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/? [14:57] xangua, doesn't work. [14:57] commands* [14:57] Northernen: mmm right clic remove¿ sorry don't use unity [14:57] can anyone tell me what codecs needs to play a .mkv file on natty plz... [14:57] It is proper rubbish. I'm going gnome3. [14:57] hendaus: already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ¿ [14:57] or try vlc hendaus [14:57] Reighnakj: The recovery mode we're in won't let us save the file edits. I'm still not 100% sure what is wrong with the actual file. [14:57] I cant seem to turn on the compiz effects on ubuntu 11.04 .. i installed compizsettingmanager (as always) but still no luck ! [14:58] Reighnakj: Can you create a liveUSB ? [14:58] edbian: are you accepting defeat? [14:58] Reighnakj: heck no [14:58] edbian: I do not have a 720mb USB stick, no. [14:58] Reighnakj: alright... [14:58] codename09: what's the output of¿: compiz --replace & [14:58] Reighnakj: Lemme think then. [14:58] edbian: should I go buy one? [14:58] xangua: yes i install it now and the mkv file shows: an error occured, [14:58] Reighnakj: ha, no [14:59] xangua: Could not determine type of stream. [14:59] edbian: while you think, I will go look around my house. I know I got one from school, but I dought it is that big. [14:59] Does anyone else have a wierd torn background/rendering issue when first logging in to 11.04 (disappears after first mouse click/key press)? [14:59] hendaus: maybe the file is corrupted [14:59] xangua: i install vlc and cannot play it [14:59] Reighnakj: How many Ubuntu CD's have you made? [15:00] xangua: its a long out put ... should i paste it on here ?

[15:02] Reighnakj: mhmm [15:03] Reighnakj: Let's try pressing m [15:03] edbian: someone mentioned I should maybe go into XP and update all my drivers first [15:03] edbian: ok. [15:03] Reighnakj: That is absolutely not going to help anything [15:03] Reighnakj: The problem is almost def the missing h [15:03] perhaps more [15:04] sorry i flooded it ... edbain: can you tell me how to paste it on here again ?1 [15:04] edbian: normal or recovery? [15:04] Reighnakj: I thought S brought up normal / recovery? [15:05] codename09: paste.ubuntu.com [15:05] oh ! thanks ... [15:05] sure [15:05] edbian: after I select ubuntu from the wubi, I can select ubuntu normal or ubuntu recovory. [15:05] Reighnakj: What happened to this s / m screen? [15:06] edbian: I did normal, and now I am at the ubuntu loading screen, where I can press s / m [15:06] Reighnakj: ahhh, s means what again? I remember m is manual [15:06] I cant play a newer DVD. I went to install ubuntu restricted extra's, and it says I must remove Libav codec utility. Any advice here? [15:06] skip [15:06] skip the mount [15:06] Reighnakj: which does not work I expect [15:06] edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641372/ [15:06] Trfsrfr: you need libdvdcss2 [15:07] edbian: I pressed M [15:07] Trfsrfr: Some DVDs are encrypted [15:07] but you need license for it [15:07] codename09: What are you trying to do?

[15:07] does anyone know how to install video codecs without using more than 100mb and playe [15:07] So I wont be able to watch some dvd's? [15:07] ? [15:07] Trfsrfr: no, yoy can wtach all of them i you intsall dvdcss2 from medubuntu [15:07] mrdeb: use vlc, don't install codecs [15:08] edbian: oh i thought you asked for the output of the compiz --replace & command [15:08] codename09: nope :) What are you trying to do ? [15:08] edbian: vlc takes another 270mb if i install it on this disk. my whoe install right now is 900mb [15:08] Trfsrfr: You could install a lib that decrypts the css. Available on medibuntu.org [15:08] mrdeb: I don't know. get a bigger partition? [15:08] edbian: i have the disk space, but i like seeing it under 1gb [15:08] ok? [15:09] it is a magic no [15:09] !medibuntu | Trfsrfr [15:09] Trfsrfr: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:09] hm, ffmped do *not* have vhook, why? [15:09] edbian: lol .. i am having problem using compiz .. i installed compizsettingmanager (As alwyas) but still no luck ! [15:09] vlt, i'll look into that, thx. [15:09] *ffmpeg [15:09] codename09: What card / driver are you using? [15:09] edbian: http://pastebin.com/srk03Y82 [15:09] Reighnakj: How are you pastebining ? [15:09] edbian: well i dont have a graphic card ..:( [15:09] i'm having a problem where i have 2 default routes. how do i fix this? (i have 4 network cards all plugged into a switch) [15:10] edbian: typing it into paste bin. [15:10] edbian: reading it off one monitor and typing it into another. [15:10] Reighnakj: later we'll try to install pastebinit (much easier) [15:10] but i think it worked on previous version .. i m using 11.04 now [15:10] Reighnakj: anywho. at that shell can you nano /etc/fstab ? [15:10] codename09: I'm not sure then :( [15:10] edbian: yes. [15:11] Reighnakj: Can you edit the file and save the changes? [15:11] edbian: thanks anyway ! [15:11] edbian: same error, read-only file system. [15:11] codename09: good luck!!! [15:11] Reighnakj: Well then what is the point of this shell!?!? [15:11] Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx [15:11] :( [15:12] edbian: can i just troubleshoot that anywhere else ?! i mean on a different channel ? [15:12] Reighnakj: I don't think we can do this without booting a liveCD or a liveUSB. [15:12] codename09: There is a #compiz [15:12] edbian: do I need to change my swapfile from swapfile1 back to just swap? [15:13] edbain: okay ... thanks for helpin. [15:13] Reighnakj: That's not necessarily the issue. I think the issue is the missing h. Not that it matters, I can't find a way to edit that file. [15:13] edbain: do "# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=524288" but back to default? [15:13] edbian: ok. [15:14] edbian: to edit it, I used vi. I didn't know how to use vi so I was just pressing buttons until I could write. [15:14] edbian: I probably delete the h and changed it to read only. Plus, I could have messed other things up. [15:14] hello, does anyone know why there is a vertical shrink all across a horizontal line in my display? is this because of ubuntu [15:14] Reighnakj: That command with blank the swap file. I don't think that will help. [15:14] Reighnakj: yes that is clear :) vi sucks. [15:15] edbian: I wish I knew about nano before I did this... [15:15] Reighnakj: The reason the FS is read only is because the file is broken. It is not the file that is marked read only. It's the OS refusing to mount the partition as anything but read only. [15:15] Reighnakj: Booting a liveCD / liveUSB would fix this problem but we can't do that. [15:15] Reighnakj: That's ok. Do you have important stuff saved? We could always just reinstall wubi [15:15] Reighnakj: You didn't know how to use it and that's why it sucks? [15:16] I exported my blogger as an .xml, is there a program that I can view it offline with proper formatting? [15:16] and not a jumble of text [15:16] vlt: there is no menu with what commands you can do. [15:16] Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx [15:16] edbian: could I repair with wubi? [15:16] Reighnakj: But there's lots of documentaion. [15:16] apple: scite may be just what you need. [15:16] vlt: nano is just easy to use. [15:16] bastidrazor: , thank you [15:17] vlt: now that I am using it. [15:17] Reighnakj: The way I see it. The only way to repair it is to use a liveUSB or liveCD [15:17] vlt: I probably shoudl have read up on vi before, though. [15:17] vlt: I said it sucks [15:17] edbian: the only thing important on ubuntu right now is a 10gb download that I did last night. [15:17] edbian: but I can redo it, I guess. [15:18] Reighnakj: You can get that 10Gb back (and maybe fix wubi) if you can boot a liveCD or liveUSB [15:18] Reighnakj: Oh sorry, edbian said that ;-) [15:18] vlt: and it does suck! [15:18] :P [15:18] edbian: i am now over 1gb. :/ [15:18] Reighnakj: Perhaps you can try a different liveCD besides Ubuntu. There are others out there that are smaller and easier to get to boot [15:18] edbian: is there anyway to use "mount *my mount thing*" command? [15:18] mrdeb: Are you making a liveCD? [15:18] edbian: In a good way. You meant sucks in a good way, right? [15:19] edbian: no [15:19] Reighnakj: I'm not sure... [15:19] vlt: ha, yeah sure [15:19] Reighnakj: maybe [15:19] edbian: so what are you suggesting? [15:19] Reighnakj: hang on [15:19] ok [15:19] Reighnakj: I have an idea :) [15:19] can i log in with live usb and dd the entire disk into a file on a usb stick to have a restore thing, and then back? will this copy back grub too [15:19] Reighnakj: Are in you in the root@ubuntu shell ?? [15:19] ues [15:19] yes [15:20] Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx [15:20] mrdeb: no grub is in /boot/grub/ and the mbr (which wont't be copied) [15:20] edbian: how do i do the grub then also [15:20] Reighnakj: mount /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / [15:20] has anyone experienced an horizontal line in their monitor, where the display is shrinked vertically? [15:20] mrdeb: dd if=/dev/sda of=/mbr bs=512 c=1 [15:20] mrdeb: I think :) [15:21] mrdeb: You need to grab the first 512 bytes. You can confirm it's right by looking at the output file using the 'file' command. [15:21] edbian: so that will copy everything including grub to a restore file? [15:21] edbian: after entering that: "mount: /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)" [15:21] mrdeb: That command I gave will only copy the grub bit that's int he mbr. Nothing else [15:21] Reighnakj: sure give it -o loop (this is a good sign) [15:22] so then to restore i would hae to dd the whole thing then dd again the grub [15:22] Reighnakj: mount -o loop /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk/ / [15:22] you changed the ending? [15:22] mrdeb: To copy you dd twice once for grub once for the other partition. The to restore you dd grub back to the mbr and the partition copy onto the new partition. [15:22] Reighnakj: I did not. I added -o loop in there [15:23] oh i see [15:23] oh [15:23] so I did [15:23] Reighnakj: I added an extra / [15:23] edbian: alright... [15:23] Reighnakj: mount -o loop /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / [15:23] edbian: "mount" according to mtab /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk is already mounted on / as loop" [15:23] can you give me the command in pm again, the two commands to copy and restore, say to file RESTOREpart1 and RESTOREgrubmbr [15:23] Reighnakj: umount / [15:24] Reighnakj: that will unmount it. Then try my command again [15:24] Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx [15:24] edbian: still says the same thing.

[15:32] Crupulus, not too sure then, i had to do setxkbmap to change mine from us to gb [15:32] Reighnakj: You could probably leave -t ext2 out but it's just as good [15:32] One of the icons is a little guy with a circle around him ...

[15:33] vlt command not found :s [15:34] ubuntu [15:34] asathoor: So given the lag ... my question is - did the ISO burn to the disc correctly ... or will have to wait for over an half an hour for it to boot from the disc? [15:34] hi guyz i whould like to ask something. what command should i use to start an application minimized on System Tray with program "AllTray"? (sorry for my poor english) [15:34] Crupulus: Just kidding. [15:34] With unity I could just choose the country, but not here [15:34] edbian: alt+ctrl+deleted to restart.

[15:39] edbian -- I just htink why learn an IDE -- it limits you in design -- better to have the flexibility of your own approach [15:39] rhin0: It speeds up your productivity? [15:39] edbian: Can you help me with my problem. Am I the only one having problems when attempting to re-install Natty Narwhal? Is it still that buggy? [15:39] rhin0: when you get into more advanced this, IDE's really help. [15:39] sudokill, well in the Keyboard Preferences there's only one tab with brief options, while on Unity there were much more options including the layout [15:39] edbian: ???

[16:21] ok peeps, thanks for the help. sorryfor the raty attitude erlier, been trying to recover my password all day and was a bit stressed out. its all sorted now, thanks again [16:21] scott, just ask [16:21] I'm trying to get my Ubuntu 10.10 system to recognize hard drives hooked up to my vt6410 pci ide card. can anyone help? [16:22] scott: you've given little information on the exact problems that you're facing - can you explain further what you need help with? [16:23] ok, my pci ide/raid card gets detected and is seen when i go to disk utility [16:23] but i have two hard drives hooked to it and my system doesn't see them [16:23] when i boot into windows they are detected fine [16:26] if you need more info, just let me know what ya need [16:28] hm... if they're picked up by windows then that would imply your BIOS is detecting them fine. [16:28] perhaps you need to mount the drives? [16:29] the issue is that it is a pci addon card [16:29] the pci ide controller doesn't get seen until windows is actually loaded [16:29] i don't see them in the bios [16:29] unless it happens before my video gets booted up [16:29] ah ha [16:30] like i can't boot off of em, but once i get booted into something then it can find them [16:30] but i don't care about that, i don't need to boot off em [16:31] i just would like to be able to access them once inside ubuntu [16:31] right. [16:31] the pci ide card gets seen by ubuntu but not the drives i have plugged into it [16:31] my guess is Ubuntu is missing firmware to talk with your controller. [16:32] do you happen to know the brand/make/model? [16:32] Via VT6410 [16:32] like i said ubuntu recognizes the ide card, but not the drives [16:32] anyone here good with wifi issues? [16:33] Arikoth: what's the issue? [16:34] scott, the disk utility does show the controller, just with no drives? that is odd... check your dmesg for any kernel errors related to it? [16:34] Hello!I just reinstalled Ubuntu 11.04 so i can remove my windows 7 partition on my dell inspiron N5010 which runs Intel Core i3. The problem is my laptop randomly shutdown during medium high cpu usage. Is there any solution to this?Does upgading the kernel to 2.6.39.0 solve the problem? [16:34] I have a netbook with a broadcom card, and I'm 99.9% sure the wifi is freezing the system up, yet it worked fine right after install. Only after the first reboot has the issue appeared [16:35] spacesheep: Sounds like an ACPI or CPU stepping issue causing overheat [16:35] Arikoth: does your netbook run hot before it shuts down? [16:35] Arikoth: sorry, freezing [16:36] nope, it's pretty much an instant freeze [16:36] I'm sure it's wifi [16:36] If i kill the wifi with Fn before i type in my password it doesn't have any issues...or wifi :P [16:36] ola [16:37] any idea how to enable scrolling on multitouch touchpad? [16:37] psusi: i don't see anything in there, but then again, not 100% sure what i'd be looking for [16:37] xteejx: Thanks for the hint :) [16:38] scott: try looking for lines that say "ATA", or "sd*" [16:38] spacesheep: I found the same problem with my laptop, but if you add the CPIU scaling monitor widgets to the top or bottom panel, you can back down the cpu while installing :) [16:38] scott, you might check with lspci -v to make sure that it actually has a driver loaded [16:38] Arikoth: which driver are you using for your card? [16:38] lspci -k [16:38] coz_ found something? [16:39] Arikoth: also which card? can you paste the output of `lspci | grep -i network` [16:39] yeah just a second [16:39] hello, i'd like to make a shortcut from the command line from python2.7 to something like py27 so that it's faster to type. Shall I make a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/python2.7 -- then where should I create the link, and how would it be part of the path so that I can call it easily by py27 from the cli? Thanks! === vDubG is now known as vDubG__Gone === Abhijit_ is now known as Abhijit [16:41] lduros, May want to ask in #bash [16:41] lduros: it's generally good practice to place a 'bin' directory in your homedir. You can add that directory to your path by adding this line to the end of your ~/.bashrc file: [16:41] PATH=$PATH:~/bin [16:42] Nobgul-bnc el_seano: ok thanks [16:42] however, rather than using that, I would recommend just making an alias [16:42] lduros: '$ echo "alias py27=/usr/local/bin/python2.7" > ~/.bashrc' [16:42] el_seano: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 80.211b/n/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [16:42] io el_seano: ahh that's an alias ok. So an alias isn't a symbolic link, it's just a mapping of a name to a binary right? [16:43] lduros: it's just an alias [16:43] io: ok [16:43] I need help with the GNOMER Power Manager. Could anyone help? === ^cheeky_ is now known as ^cheeky [16:43] !ask | Reighnakj [16:43] Reighnakj: 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. :-) [16:43] lduros, something like that. It's closer to bash expansion I think. [16:43] ok [16:44] At the login screen to log into my desktop I am getting an error that says GNOME Power Manager is not installed right. I just did sudo get-apt remove gnome-power-manager. [16:45] I then did sudo get-apt install gnome-power-manager and it hit a point where it said "/usr/bin/mandb: can't write to /var/cache/man/2394: No space left on device. [16:45] xteejx: If I upgrade my kernel to 2.6.39.0, can it solve my overheat problem? [16:45] Then, it spit out a bunch of stuff and ended with "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). [16:45] " [16:46] Hey guys. I wanted to reinstall my system, but I dotn want to lose the contents of my home folder. I know it was dumb not to do it int he first place when I made the whole installation, but is there a way to move /home into another partition now, so I can reinstall my OS? [16:46] Reighnakj: clean up some space on / [16:46] spacesheep: It would be hard to tell without looking at the kernel changelog have a start looking through that and if anything jumps out i.e. your model number or anything then yes, otherwise probably not :( [16:46] I can't log into my desktop [16:46] mgolisch [16:46] Arikoth: can you go to paste.ubuntu.com and put the output of `cat /var/log/dmesg.0`? [16:46] Reighnakj: but you can login into a console [16:46] I'm installing 11.04 for a home file/media/web server. I have a 32GB SSD and a 2TB HDD installed. What would be the optimal partition set up for this? I am planning to put /home on the 2TB HDD, but what filesystem should I use for sharing with Windows and Mac OS? [16:47] Dbugger: make a backup of your important files and next time make a partition for home ;) [16:47] Reighnakj: or not? if not you can just chroot from the livecd [16:47] I get to my login screen for my desktop, enter my info, it attempts to login then goes right back to the login screen. [16:47] :) [16:47] At that screen, I press alt+ctrl+f1 [16:47] yeah [16:47] Arikoth: There might be something more nefarious at hand, but you might just try switching drivers. Go to System>>Administration>>Hardware Drivers. There should be two options for the bcm4313, one's an open source driver, the other is broadcom's proprietary driver. [16:47] Reighnakj: and then login on the console [16:47] Arikoth: switch to the driver you're not currently using and see if that helps any. [16:47] mgolisch: yes. [16:47] anyone know how to get scrolling working on multi-touch trackpad? please [16:48] hello, cron cannot send root local e-mails... I get this: failed 88 bytes of output but got status 0x00ff#012 [16:48] how can I fix it? [16:48] using keyboard on laptop the numeric key pad stopped working. Any idea? [16:48] mgolisch: it is saying something about a package not being configured. [16:48] anyone know how to get scrolling working on multi-touch trackpad? please [16:49] Reighnakj: yeah it failed to install because of insufficient disk space [16:49] anyone know how to get scrolling working on multi-touch trackpad? please [16:49] arios: that's obnoxious. [16:49] hareldvd: Is it one of those numpads that is layed over the letter keys? [16:49] mgolisch: The only thing I installed so far is Wine, Firestarter, and World of Warcraft (10gb) [16:49] !etiquette arios [16:49] ah drat [16:49] !repeat [16:49] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:49] a yes or no would have been nice [16:50] Reighnakj: thats probably it then [16:50] arios: don't expect 1500 no's, if we don't know e won't answer :) [16:50] you can try deleteing the downloaded wow patch files [16:50] we* [16:50] mgolisch: from the console? [16:50] or something else on from your homefolder to make some space [16:50] whats a php IDE for linux that doesnt suck [16:50] thanks idleone [16:50] IdleOne: wow I just realized there are 1485 users. Badass! [16:51] bustaplz: kinda slow lately in here [16:51] How do you delete a file from /? [16:51] Reighnakj: yeah [16:51] IdleOne: Well it's probably been 2 years since I've been here in the channel, I don't remember it ever having this many folks. [16:52] arios: this came up on a quick google search. Might be worth reading: http://goo.gl/aj1YT [16:52] Reighnakj: rm /path/to/file [16:52] I'm installing 11.04 for a home file/media/web server. I have a 32GB SSD and a 2TB HDD installed. What would be the optimal partition set up for this? I am planning to put /home on the 2TB HDD, but what filesystem should I use for sharing with Windows and Mac OS? === l0nwlf__ is now known as l0nwlf_ [16:53] el_seano: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641408/ [16:53] Reighnakj: you do not have a seperate /home partition right? so its probably that wow install in your /home/username thats taking up all the space [16:53] bustaplz: I can't speak of OSX, but make sure you install windows first. It's bootloader likes to gobble up GRUB, which would make it difficult to get back into ubuntu. [16:53] bustaplz, Nop, a simple desktop keyboard hooked to my docking station. [16:54] mgolisch: can I move my WoW fold to it's own partition in console? [16:54] hi all, i've just switched to 64 bit and i'm trying to get citrix receiver working based on this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo#64-bit <-- i'm doing ok apart from when I `ldd ` i still see libXm.so.4 => not found -- despite this entry existing in my /usr/lib32: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2011-07-10 17:20 libXm.so.4 -> /usr/lib/libXm.so.4 [16:54] Reighnakj: do you have another partition? [16:54] el_seano: I don't plan to dual boot on this machine, just wondering what filesystem I should use on my /home partition drive. It will be serving files for Windows and Mac machines. [16:54] when i try to run i see this: ./wfcmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [16:54] not really sure how to proceed [16:55] I plan to use ext4 for the SSD( / ). [16:55] mgolisch: I used dells recovery partition to reformat my XP then I installed ubuntu using wugi. [16:55] Arikoth: looks like you're using broadcom's propietary driver. Try switching to the 'b43' driver as per tge steps outlined above. [16:55] in my experience, it's been a lot more reliable recently. [16:56] mgolisch: I know I have an icon for WoW on my desktop. Does that mean, that is where it is located? [16:56] mgolisch: OR is that just a shortcut, like windows. [16:57] bustaplz: ah my bad. You're going to want to go with FAT32 or VFAT [16:57] Reighnakj, There will be a arrow like in windows if it is just a symlink [16:57] Reighnakj, So if there is no arrow on the folder then yes that is most likely where wow was installed to [16:57] el_seano: I was under the impression that FAT32 couldn't handle a 2TB drive. Do I need to use something like FAT32 or NTFS if I'm using smb to share? [16:57] for windows, anyway. Although I think samba takes care of the filesystem, if you're setting up your shares with that. [16:58] Nobgul-bnc: So, that is in /home/sfadmin/Desktop. Is that the / directory? [16:58] what part of compiz handles the bell? because it worked before i started poking around. i use compiz for the accessibility options because i have poor vision and i really need the audible feed back from the terminal. [16:58] el_seano: Okay, I think you reassured me. Thank you, friend! [16:58] did it chew off half my message too? [16:58] bustaplz: sure thing. Also, per wikipedia FAT32 can handle up to 2TB [16:59] Reighnakj, I am not sure. [16:59] bustaplz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#FAT32 [16:59] ugh [16:59] mgolisch: Nobgul-bnc: Should I rm /home/sfadmin/Desktop/World of Warcraft? [16:59] Reighnakj, That would remove it. Don't you just want to move it? [16:59] Is there a way to do that? [17:00] Yes just drag and drop. [17:00] Hi, could someone tell me which programs could I use under Ubuntu in order to make a flyer? [17:00] To its own partition, Nobgul-bnc. [17:00] I am in console [17:00] I can't login. [17:00] Reighnakj: ofcourse you can [17:00] !libreoffice | airon90 [17:00] Reighnakj, Ah err umm. I am not sure about partition stuff sorry.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:02] Arikoth: typo. the steps. [17:02] Reighnakj: you can login through the Terminal though [17:03] Arikoth: Go to System>>Administration>>Hardware Drivers. There should be two options for the bcm4313, one's an open source driver, the other is broadcom's proprietary driver. [17:03] BluesKaj: a flyer (italian: volantino): an A5 papersheet where I could explain my "product" in order to make my product more visible or to gain people.

[17:04] :) [17:04] Reighnakj: I don't know the answer to your initial question, I was merely stating that it is possible to login through Terminal to fix whatever error you're recieving via command-line (if you know the solution) [17:05] Reighnakj, Now i am interested in the fix i just checked and my /dev/loop is 94% filled. [17:05] Reighnakj, Did you use the wubi to install ubuntu? [17:05] Nobgul-bnc yes. [17:06] So did I. I was unable to acolate my hd space. [17:06] BluesKaj: in this case I have to make a flyer where to insert some text and some images but I don't hink LibO (Ooo) is what I need... Should I need an image editor (like Photoshop)? (Logically I only look for free software. So no Wine or similar) [17:06] I just set it to C: and let the install space the default. [17:06] Hi - I have nvidia + xinerama, but some apps always open in the wrong screen. Is there a way to force an app to open in screen 0?

[17:08] airon90, Gimp and gimpshop are both real easy to use. [17:08] BluesKaj: Thank you :) [17:08] Anakin_n, i guess that'd work... kinda ugly hack :) thanks === MattJ100 is now known as Guest49348 [17:08] airon90, There are thousands of online video tutorials for both of them on how to create things [17:09] Berto, if you use Monitor settings and Monitor - tools from System --> Preferences ... turn of display 2 from Monitor setings and uninstall this tool, use only Monitors (base tool for ubuntu) both tools are mesed up if they work tog [17:09] Nobgul-bnc: Thank you very very much :) [17:09] airon90, No worries. have fun creating the flier [17:09] i was trying to run servce by sudo /etc/init.d/cloud_scheduler start but it is taking too much time after this command and i need to terminate it using ctrl+z [17:10] hola, se puede exportar los contactos de gmail o evolution a skype [17:10] would some one assist me in figuring out why the audible bell does not work when i enable compiz? i use it for the accessibility features and the audible feed back is of most importance === scott__ is now known as scott [17:10] lanber: you may want to try #ubuntu-es [17:10] !es | lanber [17:10] lanber: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Should I delete all indicators in order to update Unity or should I report it as a bug?

[17:17] edgy: I suspect there is no shell to "echo" to [17:17] yeah it probably goes to messages [17:17] or something [17:17] no idea where init logs its stuff [17:18] it's not logging [17:18] it's an echo command, so it won't go anywhere if there is no shell [17:18] ikonia: technically, there is the non-interactive shell started by the exec command. that shell is just not connected to any tty ;-) [17:19] Ampelbein: that makes sense [17:19] Does anyone know how to get a Via VT 6410 to 'see' drives in ubuntu 10.10?

[17:28] ikonia: something like: http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/20/how-to-disable-ctrl-alt-del-from-rebooting-a-linux-system/ [17:28] edgy: no, it's a totally valid question, however you'll need to go about it in a different way, I just can't think of the best way [17:29] Hello all. Is there a way to get Natty to send its host name to the DHCP server for dynamic DNS updates? [17:29] edgy: there is a difference between disabling a system command, and piping a message to a current terminal [17:29] hawke_: yes, in the dhclient config file [17:30] net [17:30] ikonia: yes, I just want to disable or trap ctrlaltdel but I don't know of which files beside the init files to try that. I need hint if any other guru here have a clue [17:30] edgy: well, you've already disabled it, so that job is done [17:31] apt-get: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/libapt-pkg.so.4.10) [17:31] edgy: what you want to do with the alert is totally different [17:31] I need a deb package to fix this [17:31] What would be a good game recorder for Ubuntu? I've tried recordmydesktop and istanbul: Istanbul freezes when I end the recording and recordmydesktop causes frame loss [17:31] knapper_tech: that's not a package from the ubuntu repos [17:31] Viderizer: ffmpeg [17:31] my build system and most standard C++ libs have been f'd over and i'd like to clean slate [17:31] knapper_tech: ubuntu packages do not put files in /usr/local/lib [17:31] yeah i know [17:31] ikonia: you are right. I want the alert. the strange bit is that shutdown command display the alert properly then why not echo [17:31] ikonia: thanks…I was confused by the fact that Natty has /etc/dhcp3 with nothing in it… [17:31] edgy: because that is sent as a "wall" to all terminals [17:32] i need to do some deep recovery of my gcc, glibc, and libstdc++ [17:32] ikonia: fantastic then I can also echo hi |wall ? [17:32] knapper_tech: if you have messed up your glibc - I would strongly suggest a re-install [17:32] Does anyone know how to get a Via VT 6410 to 'see' drives in ubuntu 10.10? [17:32] edgy: well, technically "yes" but I'm not sure wall can take input like that [17:32] ikonia: it works! [17:33] edgy: ahh, excellent [17:33] i would rather not. if you can get me on the right path, i can follow through [17:33] edgy: keep in mind every user will get that message [17:33] ikonia: thanks for the tip ;) [17:33] Does anyone know how to get a Via VT 6410 pci ide card to 'see' ide drives in ubuntu 10.10? [17:34] btw, the problem is related to mindlessly following install instructions for gccsense. there is no code-assist built package in ubuntu, so building some custom gcc is a requirement as far as i can tell [17:34] i'm just going to build the proper version from scratch and get it in the right place for starters. [17:34] at current my system is f'd. no synaptics, no aptitude [17:35] knapper_tech: I strongly advise against it, if you have changed your glibc component your systems base/core libraries will be unsupportable [17:35] hi guys can someone help with an install of ubuntu 11.04. I had windows 7 installed first, then installed ubuntu 11.04 now when i restart I don't get the option to boot to ubuntu, only the bootloader for windows 7 can anyone help? [17:35] Fixed my issue by restoring a copy of the dhcpd3-server init script from a backup. [17:35] ikonia: yes, this exactly what I want. now I expect if I want to display in a specific tty I can theoretically do something like > /dev/$(tty) ;) [17:35] knapper_tech: please stop refering to things as "f'd" - we know what you mean and I'd prefer you used something nicer [17:35] edgy: working out the tty would be tricky [17:35] scott what module does lspci -k say is in use for your ide/raid card [17:35] when your work system is unuseable you'll know =) [17:35] ps I am a newbie to linux and ubuntu [17:36] i know what you're saying about the core libs [17:36] chuck_: You need to reinstall grub [17:36] Hello I need some help restoring my classic gnome settings in ubuntu 11.04 ... [17:36] i want to get a version of glibcxx in that can get aptitude running so i can brute-force reinstall all relevant system libs [17:36] hi everyone. I need to get a csv from a spreadsheet. a friend did it yesterday by changing format to utf-8 b4 saving it as csv. now I can't find how to do that. frrom unicode to utf-8 in libreoffice, I've got natty. help! :p [17:37] knapper_tech: a re-install would be a simpler process [17:37] Trigger911: At the login screen, before you put in your password at the bottom you can change it to classic [17:37] hi rexodus how do I reinstall grub? do I have to install everything all again from livecd [17:37] can i save system files or what? [17:37] knapper_tech: you would then be back on a supported platform [17:37] Windows overwrites the bootloader without any question [17:37] Rexodus: he already had windows [17:37] knapper_tech: system files ? such as [17:37] chuck_: and how did you install ubuntu¿ [17:37] ./home [17:37] Owww wait... [17:37] knapper_tech: that's not a system file - that's your home directory, sure [17:38] Arikoth, I have done that .... My problem is I was playing with compiz i followed a guide that said to delete the config files\folders now when i use classic it looks like unity 3d [17:38] is there a recovery-only install setup? [17:38] How do I delete a file in the wine directory? I followed these directions but it just made it worse. I can't find the file in the actual regedit window http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-3b18ce54edb7ea108c8f08945bc52812c4e3ef71 [17:38] yeah windows 7 first but on restart no boot option for ubuntu only windows 7 bootloader [17:38] knapper_tech: no, [17:38] just re-install and pray? [17:38] you don't need to pray [17:39] 11.04 already requires so many custome fixes i dont' want to have to redo it all [17:39] xangua used the live cd iso from ubuntu.com [17:39] knapper_tech: it's up to you what you do then. [17:39] se la vi [17:39] chuck_: and then what¿ [17:40] xangua I installed ubuntu alongside windows 7, installation was fine, but on restart there is only an option to boot to windows 7, there is no option for ubuntu 11.04 [17:41] Trigger911: Not sure on that, I always back up config files before i edit them. Can you find the package and reinstall it to force a recreate of the config file? [17:41] hi everyone. I need to get a csv from a spreadsheet. a friend did it yesterday by changing format to utf-8 b4 saving it as csv. now I can't find how to do that. frrom unicode to utf-8 in libreoffice, I've got natty. help! :p [17:41] thanks [17:41] any idea? [17:41] Arikoth, All I need is the defualt config for classic ubuntu .... rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity is what i did so you can see what i deleted [17:42] can anyone tell me the ubuntu alternative for Lucida? [17:42] should I ask anywhere else? [17:42] since unity is defualt it took over classic profile >.< [17:42] popey: ffmpeg options seem so difficult; I guess there is no program with gui for this purpose? [17:43] Arikoth, I not noob with linux but i am a little lost with ubuntu I am used to arch to be honest ... this is my first install .... its a little forien to me [17:43] Can anyone look at this and tell me if I have the right syntax for toram to work on my Ubuntu 10.04 live usb key? http://pastebin.com/btZz4LZr [17:43] I've been googling it for more than 1 hour.... [17:46] can someone point me to a guide or something on how to share my eth0 connection with my wlan0, i want to bridge them and have an AP broadcast to connect my phone to with wifi === jcdury is now known as dury [17:47] Trigger911: I'm honestly not really sure how to fix this, try a reinstall of the gnome desktop package is all that comes to mind? [17:47] hi there channel :) [17:48] Hello [17:48] Arikoth, I have done apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [17:48] ffmpeg for 11.04 [17:48] is it possible [17:48] hello, denizens [17:49] try the restricted dury === koshie_ is now known as koshieFinalReliz [17:49] I mean to convert different types of extensions by terminal [17:49] elkuka: maybe try the #libreoffice channel [17:49] Trigger911: Can you steal the config files from a live boot CD? [17:49] Hi. where can I find official information related to ubuntu initialization/shutdown scripts? The server guide doesn't seem to mention this [17:49] i have a problem: whenever i play a youtube video (using ff right now), and i minimize the browser and pull up something else, the video gets overlayed (or underlayed, i guess) onto the windows that are in the same position as the video was in. please help. this is really damn irritating. [17:50] hi did anyone know how to fix my problem with the install of ubuntu 11.04. Basically had windows 7 installed first, then used the ubuntu cd and installed 11.04, once installed restarted then there was no option for ubuntu 11.04 only windows 7 loader [17:50] ocean: thanks [17:50] where would they be located? I might be able to do a vm i got virutalbox installed ... [17:50] chuck_: you need to install grub [17:50] !upstart | cassio [17:50] cassio: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [17:50] oCean: thbka [17:50] hii [17:51] stefan, do i just run the livecd and use terminal to install grub [17:51] oCean, thanks [17:51] chuck_: i think that will work [17:51] but google it :) [17:51] french ? [17:51] chuck go back to the live session and open terminal and type update-grub [17:51] cassio: sorry, that link does not really point to useful information I think. But the system ubuntu is currently using is called upstart [17:51] Trigger911: wanna convert different types like .mp3, .ogg, by terminal using ffmpeg [17:51] chuck_: bt's advice is sound [17:51] Trigger911: From a VM I can't see it not working, though a live boot CD might be faster. Not sure where the files would be located but you know the file names right? load it up and try a search, if that doesn't work then a VM should be easy to get them from [17:52] dury, i use windows machines for my audio videos needs for the most part [17:52] To get my ubuntu live usb key to boot to ram I just have to add toram to the syslinux.cfg file right? [17:52] thanks guys gonna give a restart and give it a try and fingers crossed it works [17:52] dury, you trying to parse subtitles and such? [17:52] thanks [17:52] hi! [17:53] chuck_, see !grub2 link! you need to chroot from the livecd for update-grub to work [17:53] Trigger911: what's that... could you explain in other words please? [17:53] i love ubuntu, its best os ever used! win7 siuux! [17:53] oCean, yeah, I know it changed to upstart some time ago, but looking at help.ubuntu.com and the official wiki I couldn't find much information [17:54] dury, parsing means pulls certian audio or subtitles so when it plays it automaticly picks your region [17:54] How to change video aspect ratio in Banshee player? [17:54] amazing walpapears, fonts, sida bar... why everyone elae use windows? [17:54] cassio: from the link ubottu sent you, there's a link to the cookbook http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ [17:54] Arikoth, thanks for the help ill fool around with this idea .... i feel retarded not thinking of that lmao [17:54] i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? [17:55] oCean, thanks [17:55] misterandrouserl: nice to hear you enjoy ubuntu. This channel is for support topics, social chat/discussion is in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:55] you need to find out your chipset ron [17:55] Trigger911: Same kind of thing happens to me all the time :P === daniel__ is now known as danielcode === ozior is now known as ozior_away [17:55] guys, its possible to run .exe files? i need to work..==( [17:56] !wine | misterandrouserl [17:56] misterandrouserl: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [17:56] Trigger911: that's not what I want to do [17:56] Arikoth, yea just playing around with ubuntu ... i tried it once back in 6.00 days i hated it ... seems good but unity sucks for a box ... tablet or phone id like it but not one a full system [17:56] oCean wow ^_^ ty [17:57] want to convert for example .mp4 in .avi and opossite [17:57] hello [17:57] * misterandrouserl going to delete windows on all ps's in our corp [17:57] dury, ffmpeg is in the repos for 11.04, however youll need to compile yourself if you want all the non-free codecs [17:57] Anyone knows how to go from unity-2d-default-settings back to unity 3d? [17:57] drug, if you want a graphical one you can use vlc or handbrake [17:57] dury, if you want to create mp4 file in ubuntu check out handbrake (ffmpeg from Ubuntu won't do MP4s) [17:57] dury [17:57] i mean [17:57] how do i use scp? i ssh'd to a server, and i want to refer to my machine. how do I do this? [17:58] i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? [17:58] stefan_: you want to transfer a file on the server to your machine? [17:58] i.e. scp thismachine:path/file.ext path-in-server/ [17:58] stefan_, you dont ssh, scp will do that automatically [17:58] Ron what is your chipset for your card [17:58] no [17:58] oCean: vice versa [17:59] stefan_: then log out from the server, and from your machine do: scp /path/to/file user@host:/path/to/destination [17:59] zykotick9: mp4 to avi or mov [17:59] aww [17:59] ok [17:59] thanks [18:00] dury, i imagine ffmpeg can be used for mp4 to avi/mov ok. Handbrake ONLY does MP4/MKV as outputs. [18:00] i can compile ubunto for arm platform? i use acer iconia a500 w/ android3.1 [18:00] pfifo: how does it do? [18:00] Anyone knows how to go from unity-2d-default-settings back to unity 3d? [18:01] i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? [18:01] hi, i just set up UBUNTU with WUBI on my dell notebook (inspiron 5100) and it starts GREAT but it won't see the wireless WIFI networks (it does recognize the wlan0), any suggestions greatly appreciated [18:01] ifconfig wlan0 up [18:01] dury, ffmpeg is great, the only downside is you have to build it yourself to get all the useful codecs. If your wanting to encode audio only (mp3 to wav) then ffmpeg isnt the tool you want [18:01] dmesg, lspci link to pastbin [18:02] guest: sounds like your dell needs the binary drivers [18:02] Arikoth, I fixed it ... I did apt-get remove unity unity -2d [18:02] i'll give a try. thank you MR. [18:02] Arikoth, thanks for the help I hope they might help ya if some one else runs into problems [18:03] ok, how do I copy a file from a server to my machine, or edit it directly on the server? i want to use gedit, not nano or vi, but gedit isn't installed on the server and cannot be. [18:03] ron34563654, you don't. They're called modules and are already part of the kernel [18:03] Trigger911: Glad you got it work, enjoy ubuntu! [18:03] stefan_, if you have ssh on the server, you may try sshfs [18:03] stefan_, i use NFS for that [18:03] Arikoth, yea just a pain to get some of the things i norm use with arch to work as they are blacklisted lmao [18:04] carandraug, so why i can't connect to the internet? [18:04] stefan_, also, nautilus allows you to connect to ssh server [18:04] dli: i'll try sshfs [18:04] stefan_, mount the server on your filesystem [18:04] Arikoth, I am building a huge script that will do everything I have to do when i perm install so all my mistakes are not hanging around lmao [18:04] pfifo: in other ubuntu releases I can do by terminal ffmpeg -i bolero-mix-25.mp4 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k output.mp3 [18:05] ron34563654, maybe it's not supported? There isn't modules for all the cards since manufacturers don't supply them [18:05] !wifi | ron34563654 [18:05] ron34563654: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:05] dury, di you have a question? [18:05] Trigger911: I'm getting my new netbook all set up then clonezilla the damn drive, having fun wifi issues [18:06] pfifo: I want to do the same in 11.04 [18:06] I am having an error with gnome-power-manager. [18:06] I used http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/04/13/solved-unable-to-boot-due-to-gnome-power-manager-error/ , but it is still not working. [18:06] dury, whats stopping you? [18:06] Yeah my new laptop had the acer-wmi mod conflicting with ath9k modules [18:06] Arikoth, what driver? ath9k i found a fix ... its deals with the encryption max throughput i got was 10kb now i get 30MB lmao [18:07] carandraug, isn't there anything else to do? [18:07] pfifo: hang on I'm going to try it... one sec. [18:07] ron34563654, what do you mean else? Other than what? [18:07] how to display messages on a remote machines shell via ssh [18:07] bbl [18:08] Ron read through that section he linked it really does help [18:08] carandraug, how can i know if my card supported? [18:08] is there any workaround to ubuntuone's problem? [18:08] raven: could you be more precise about what you want to do? [18:09] Bam FIXED [18:09] little shotgun reinstall errors are for the birds [18:09] Trigger911: Broadcom 4313. There is a proprietary driver but it causes the kernal to freak out if the logs are any indicator. Trying to get ndiswrapper working now [18:10] ron34563654, read the page I sent you. Most of the cards work out of the box. If they don't, that page tells you the best chances to make it work. But even better, I'd call the company that built it asking for modules. If they say that they don't support Linux, I'd just return it and get my money back. I should be free to run any OS I want [18:10] lafon, #ubuntuone [18:10] I found the libstdc++ version I needed , foudn the package, and just did a little dpkg -i --force-depends-version to suppress version erros [18:10] hi, why my nbook mic doestg working? [18:10] !sound | ron34563654 [18:10] ron34563654: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [18:10] all my software works again and now I can use synaptics or aptitude to flush my gcc install and get back to earth [18:10] Arikoth, yea if you dont do monitor or injection the ndis works best most of the time ... if not try to bleeding edge compet-wireless [18:10] and i'm switching to sabayon ASAP [18:10] =) [18:11] Abhijit, his problem is with wifi, not suond card [18:11] Abhijit: ahh thanks [18:11] Trigger911: Yeah, just being odd the system sees the card no problem with generic drivers, just won't create a device for it grr [18:11] !wifi | ron34563654 [18:11] Is Natty still having issues or is it safe to use yet?

He must have 2 problems then. i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? [18:13] pfifo: What do you do with your system? The last time I used it was for a security camera server and of course the software it self was having major compatibility issues, but that was not ubuntus fault. It just seemed like everyone was complaining about it at the time. [18:13] sintaxevo, you need to setup NAT/Masquerading [18:13] Abhijit, apologies then [18:13] hmm. ok.

[19:16] bsmith1931: it's a DI-524M [19:16] s7r: it's an iptables thing [19:16] ron, you have a module already loaded for you wifi card 'ath9k' [19:16] s7r: you have to write an iptables rule [19:16] pfifo, what command do I use for fast grayscale? [19:16] s7r: Set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to "1" [19:16] dli: Alright, lemme look into that before I get into Samba too much. ;) [19:16] pedro3005, sorry, I dont really kno how to change quality. [19:17] s7r: It's not iptables [19:17] pedro3005, (my printer has a physical button for that :)) [19:17] #ubuntu-de === matt_ is now known as Guest93409 [19:17] vlt: you will need to use iptables to use it [19:17] Could someone please try to help me get my wifi working with my broadcom bcm4312 card? I have tried the broadcom link in the factoid to no avail. [19:18] ikonia: Without iptables rules the default is ACCEPT. [19:18] pfifo, hm, foomatic-db was uninstalled, I'll try installing it [19:18] cjohnston, tried broadcom-sta? [19:18] vlt: but it won't do any forwarding without an iptables rule [19:19] still no go [19:19] ikonia: Really? Didn't know that. [19:19] dli: thats what you get when installing drivers from available drivers correct? [19:19] vlt thanks for that. how about for ipv6 ? the same just i replace ipv4 with ipv6? [19:19] off to google === derp is now known as derp|gone [19:20] vlt: yeah, the /proc just enables the kernel component, an application such as iptables will have to do the routing to deal with the packets [19:20] dli: If my ext. hd is located at \\Aple-pc\l then would I just type that into Nautilus and it'd load? :o [19:20] cjohnston, not sure. :( it's proprietary from broadcom, not from open source === cydd- is now known as Cydd === Cydd is now known as cydd [19:20] Aple, what do you mean with 'ext. hd'? [19:21] dli: there is a "Broadcom STA wireless driver" in Additional drivers.. which is proprietary... there is a broadcom-sta-common and broadcom-sta-source when doing aptitude search [19:21] hello, I want to run ubuntu from a usb stick, with persistent data (install the packages I want, have my custom config files). I tried to use the startup disc creator but when I reboot i get the regular install screen, and I can only boot as a livecd in a way, and i can't install stuff with it :-\ doesn't look like an install of linux. Is there anything I missed to make a running linux on the usb flash drive? Thanks [19:21] cjohnston, try with broadcom-sta-source [19:22] What does the Installation size in the Wubi install mean? [19:22] lduros, you have to create a startup disc (can be on a CD). Then start from that startup CD (or USB) and have the USB where you want to install plugged in. make a normal install but choose to install on the USB rather than the HD [19:22] dli: trying [19:22] lduros, I use grub2 bootloader to boot an iso file and have a casper persistent partition. I highly recommend learning this setup It works like a charm. [19:22] Reighnakj, it's the maximum size that your installation will ever have [19:23] what does that mean? [19:23] cjohnston, since it's source, you may have to build the driver yourself after installing the -source package [19:23] The max amount of stuff I can download on ubuntu? [19:23] carandraug: Ok, I get it. pfifo: so should I just install it on the USB like carandraug said ? I might try this first. thanks [19:23] Reighnakj, when you install with WUBI, everything will be in one giant file inside your windows install. The file is created once [19:23] So, the installation size is the amount of storage ubuntu can have? [19:23] lduros, thats not what I was talking about. [19:24] pfifo: ok [19:24] lduros, it's not very complicated. When asking if you want to install alone on the HD, you can choose manul configuration/partition. If you've done it before, it's peace of cake [19:24] anyone using redis here? [19:24] dli: ext. hd = "External hard drive". Anyway, I found the book. :) [19:24] Reighnakj, when you install with Wubi yes. [19:25] What's the difference between normal folders and folders with $ on them? [19:25] carandraug: so that is probably why I ran out of disk space after installing a 10gb file? [19:25] lduros, installing ubuntu requires 2gb usb stick or better, my method requires 700mb [19:25] I left it too low? [19:25] hi I have two computers(A and B) with ubuntu and A has two network interfaces and is connected to router and B is connected just to A. What should I do to be able to use internet on computer B? [19:25] carandraug, i've win driver on a cd [19:25] pfifo: ok [19:26] Reighnakj, probably. The way i see it, wubi is good for trying linux. You don't mess with the bootloader, you don't have to partition the HD. But that's it. If you like it, you should install it properly [19:26] I tried to boot from CD, but it wouldn't work :-( [19:27] ron34563654, I've better things to do. To me it looks like you're trolling [19:27] hello, [19:27] dli: how would I install bcmwl-kernel-source as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/711397/comments/6 ? [19:27] Ubuntu bug 711397 in b43-fwcutter (Ubuntu) "package firmware-b43legacy-installer 4.178.10.4-5 failed to install/upgrade due to unsupported hardware" [Medium,Triaged] [19:27] SpiderFred, the easy way is to plug computer B into the router :) [19:27] Reighnakj, what happened when you tried to boot from a CD? [19:27] How can I create a shortcut to that external hard drive? [19:28] carandraug: It just sat at the ubuntu loading screen too long. [19:28] Does anyone here have experience with preseeding installs? [19:28] cjohnston, as usual, sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [19:28] Aple, ln -s [19:28] I found the external hd, have access to it, but when I ctrl+shift+drag-to-desktop, it says it can't create that symbolic link. Is this because it's on a network or something? [19:28] pfifo, :) yeah but its not possible atm [19:28] dli: I'm on natty though, and they a referencing a maverick package [19:28] Aple, oh! If it's o the network I don't know. Sorry [19:29] carandraug: ln -s? Sorry.. I'm a complete newb. [19:29] Aple, you have to harlink, you cant softlink across devices [19:29] Oh ok [19:29] i cant install openoffice :( [19:29] How do I hardlink? [19:29] alexleon: elaborate [19:29] pfifo: It's the other way around, you can't have cross filesystem hardlinks. [19:29] i download the folder but it has not .deb files [19:29] Aple, I don't think you want a hard link. You want a symbolic link [19:30] Aple, nevermind I got them mixed up [19:30] carandraug: To make a shortcut to a shared folder on my network? [19:30] Hi guys, sometimes, i'll open a menu and it'll stay there - indefinitely.... Once people gave me a command to restart whatever was at fault to fix it [19:30] can anyone think what it could've been? [19:31] how cani show pictures here? [19:31] carandraug: How would I create a symlink to an external hard drive that's sitting on my network? [19:31] ? [19:31] alexleon, use an imagebin [19:31] Reighnakj, it's weird, specially if it works with Wubi. Maybe there's a problem with the CD. There's some options to boot but I never had to worry about them [19:31] ok [19:31] if I goto appearances -> visual effects and change that, it fixes it too [19:31] because it reboots the thing too [19:32] I'm installing 10.04LTS (downloaded from ubuntu.com via BitTorrent) from a USB stick. After selecting the USB stick as the boot drive, this message immediately appears: "Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot", then "vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image" [19:32] Aple, I don't know. But hard link for something on the network... I don't know how that would work. symlinks, I think you'd have to mount it (maybe sshfs) and then symlink it to your desktop [19:33] here [19:33] http://imagebin.org/162456 [19:33] thats what the folder has :P how i install that [19:33] im having a very hard time setting up a xorg.conf file its pretty straight forward i just need a file for the mouse keyboard all generic ubuntu ones, i have a onboard monitor thats 1280x800 24 depth and another monitor thats an external one thats 1280x720 @ 24 depth aswell both 60hz could someone write it up real quick for me ps its a intel 895gm driver [19:33] alexleon: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2010/09/how-to-install-libreoffice-in-ubuntu.html [19:33] Aple, a symlink it's created with the command ln -s (ln is the command (think link) and -s options specifies it's a soft link or symlink) [19:33] So I'd have to mount my external hard drive even though it's on the network which is hosted by a different computer, then symlink to desktop? [19:33] k, I'll look it up. Thanks carandraug. ;) [19:33] the same 1500 ubuntu'ers stuck with this OS [19:33] Hi [19:34] Aple, yes. When you access a file, it's always mounted somewhere on the fs [19:34] mahir -.- i dont think libreoffice is the same as openoffice [19:34] Aple, fs = filesystem [19:34] Hi [19:34] I need to preseed a deb file into an install cd, I have the preseed working perfectly (partitions and stuff) and just need it to install this package that I made. I am thinking the late_command is what I need to do, but I can't get it working, does anyone have any experience with this? [19:34] stercor, it seems something went wrong wile setting ub the USB stick to be bootable [19:34] alexleon: they're the same, except openoffice.org is run by apache and libreoffice is completely free software [19:34] Aple, basically you need to know where it is now. The run ls -s /path/to/thefile/now /path/to/thedesktop [19:35] mmm well i will install libreoffice [19:35] pfifo: That's a good guess. I'll make it again. [19:35] I want to remove definitely all files on an USB key, it is the good command ? wipe -r -i -Q 1024 /media/B373-2959/ (where B373-2959) is my USB key [19:35] :) [19:36] koshieFinalReliz, never heard of the command wipe [19:36] carandraug: Ok, I'll try. But I think that Ctrl+Shift+Drag-to-desktop is supposed to do that, and since it's on a network it throws an error. I might be wrong. I'll try it the command line way though. [19:36] im having a very hard time setting up a xorg.conf file its pretty straight forward i just need a file for the mouse keyboard all generic ubuntu ones, i have a onboard monitor thats 1280x800 24 depth and another monitor thats an external one thats 1280x720 @ 24 depth aswell both 60hz could someone write it up real quick for me ps its a intel 895gm driver [19:36] koshieFinalReliz, just rm everything (and be carefule with the command). Or do you require super safe, impossible to recover removal of the files [19:36] ? [19:37] Aple, it might be mounted in a funny way. You'll need to mount it in a more 'normal' way I'd guess [19:37] Hello! I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and having trouble with choqok. If I close it and then start it again, my timelines won't upgrade anymore unless I delete and readd my Twitter accounts. Can anyone suggest me a way of fixing this? [19:37] alazare, try using `Xorg -configure` [19:37] Aple, alternativel, you can bookmark it with nautilus and then it would at least show up on your places menu and bookmarks tab of nautilus [19:38] carandraug: "The target doesn't support symbolic links" [19:38] carandraug: Yeah! How do I bookmark it? [19:38] :) [19:38] * Aple takes the easy route [19:38] pfifo, i did im also on debian not ubuntu but ubuntus always more helpfull anyways xorg -configure errors out i have to do it in console /recovery mode as i cant do it while x is running it says conflict with number of monitors and the xorg.conf.new file it makes is all kinds of foobard [19:39] Aple, just go to the place yu want to bookmark, and there's an option on the nautilus menu [19:40] Aple, it's not for a file, but it's for a directory where the file is [19:40] ok so I have a question: is Mythbuntu , which is based on Ubuntu, as it currently is able to run on the new AMD FM1 APU A8 chips that just came out? [19:40] did anyone see my question? [19:41] alazare, sorry, I dont have that hardware so my xorg.conf doesnt have any relevant sections [19:41] I know Linux doesn't have good AMD Radeon HD support for the 6000 series, but I was just wondering because with its release I was intruiged that it's an integrated / not shared video solution [19:41] I have recently switched from Fedora to Ubunutu. In the past when I build software, I have always done 'configure --prefix=/home/doriad/bin' followed by 'make' and 'make install'. At that point, other software looking for the software I had just built will usually find it automatically. (I have /home/doriad/bin and /home/doriad/bin/bin on PATH, and /home/doriad/bin/lib on LD_LIBRARY_PATH and /home/doriad/bin/include on CPLUS_INCLUDE [19:41] _PATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH). Is there anything else I need to do on Ubuntu? nothing seems to be found automatically on this system [19:41] GPU and CPU in one [19:41] dang... [19:41] I'd be recording stuff in at least 720p, so I'd hope it supports Radeon HDs' acceleration [19:41] BlaDe^, I did. But you should paste the question all in one line. It's hard to understand it otherwise since there's other people talk in the middle [19:42] Does anyone here have experience with preseeding installs? specifically installing custom .deb files that are on the CD along with the installation? [19:42] daviddoria, I have a similiar setup and it works just fine [19:42] hello, please tell me if there is another way to access via mouse or script the CTRL-ALT-F1-6 command for the console... my laptop keyboard has a bug and freezes in X [19:42] Neffirithion: can you give me an example [19:42] how do i get ubuntu to recognise my front panel audio connection when i plug in my headphones? [19:43] hi [19:43] anyone see my questions? [19:43] Shiggs|MB, I did. But you should paste the question all in one line. It's hard to understand it otherwise since there's other people talk in the middle [19:44] hey, how long are apache2 logs stored in ubuntu? are they ever automatically deleted? [19:44] carandraug: ok so I have a question: is Mythbuntu as it currently is able to run on the new AMD FM1 APU A8 chips that just came out? [19:44] I know Linux doesn't have good AMD Radeon HD support for the 6000 series, but I was just wondering because with its release I was intruiged that it's an integrated / not shared video solution [19:44] GPU and CPU in one [19:44] I'd be recording stuff in at least 720p, so I'd hope it supports Radeon HDs' acceleration [19:44] there ya go [19:44] pietr101, I think after 10 log files. It's a rotational thing [19:44] Shiggs|MB: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === ozior_away is now known as ozior [19:44] carandraug, rm don't remove definitely [19:44] wipe and shred exist for that. [19:44] ikonia: I am making a custom install CD for a professor of mine and he has a custom made piece of software that he needs installed on the CD, I have it in a deb file and need it to be preinstalled along with the rest of the installation [19:45] Neffirithion: custom spins aren't something we do here [19:45] where to change it, so my apache logs are never deleted? [19:45] pietr101: /etc/logrotate.d [19:45] koshieFinalReliz, it does remove the file. It can be recovered with some tools but lets the space free. That's why I asked if you needed the hD empty or if you wanted to be ultra safe and make them unrecoverable. For the second I just us dd [19:45] i'm desperate, please tell me if there is another way to access via mouse or script the CTRL-ALT-F1-6 command for the console... my laptop keyboard has a bug and freezes in X [19:45] ikonia do you know where I could go to get some help? [19:45] carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641477/ [19:45] jacky121, I don't even know what that shortcut does [19:45] Neffirithion: I think the ubuntuforum has a section for custom builds, not sure [19:46] carandraug it get's you in the console mode [19:46] ikonia: thank you [19:46] carandraug, No no. Wipe erase definitely [19:46] it's a secure way :) [19:46] And unrecorable. [19:47] Shiggs|MB, seriously? Can't you write that in one line yourself here in the channel? Also, I read your question but don't know the answer [19:47] unrecoverable* [19:47] ikonia, maybe you misunderstood, its not so much a custom spinoff of ubuntu that I'm doing, its just a single deb file that is being installed along side the rest of the OS, but I'll look into the ubuntuforums place either way [19:47] koshie_, i use dd as well `dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdXY` [19:47] koshieFinalReliz, , i use dd as well `dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdXY` [19:47] pfifo, and it erase definitely ? [19:47] Neffirithion: that's a custom spin [19:47] koshieFinalReliz, unrecoverable [19:47] ikonia Oh... alright then, thank you [19:47] [19:47] carandraug: ...I pastebin'd it [19:47] With one pass ? [19:47] pfifo, [19:47] sorry for the blank line ... [19:48] [19:48] :P [19:48] jacky121, duhh! Of course. Sorry, I didn't think well. Ask for another shortcut to access the tty. Sorry but I don't know of others [19:48] how do i get ubuntu to recognise my front panel audio connection when i plug in my headphones? [19:48] Shiggs|MB, just write the question, here in the channel, in one line [19:48] What determine the default qemu-arm library path when it tries to find shared lib ? as libc [19:48] carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641477/ <== click. [19:48] anybody got any suggestions of the best things to do on linux for people who dont know jack squat about programming? =/ [19:48] it's not that hard to click a link [19:48] With Shotwell, is there a web service where I can create web albums? [19:49] I have 'mysql-server-core-5.1' and also the client package installed. I didn't install it myself and I don't host anything. Is it okay if I remove these packages? or does something need them? [19:49] !here | Shiggs|MB [19:49] Shiggs|MB: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:49] i with i had a on-screen keyboard with F1 key on it at least [19:49] koshieFinalReliz, you can use dd for that. You need to know the device (rather than the mount point) of you USB for that [19:49] ubottu: of which I did [19:49] Shiggs|MB: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:49] koshieFinalReliz, that depends on your medium, flash memory is 1 pass, a harddrive platter needs more to obscure any possible retention of the magnetic fields [19:49] guntbert: I did use the pastebin, since I detailde my question rather well [19:50] pfifo, Oh really ? One pass for a flash memory [19:50] ? [19:50] detailed* [19:50] It's an USB key, so a flash memory [19:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/641477/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/641477/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/641477/ [19:50] >_> [19:50] Shiggs|MB, you did NOT!

[19:51] pietr101, hmm... i would check /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 ...but i'm not sure [19:51] fine... will Ubuntu run on AMD's new APU chipset? [19:51] there [19:51] lazyasses >_> [19:51] Shiggs|MB, ok so I have a question: is Mythbuntu, which of course is based on Ubuntu, as it currently is able to run on the new AMD FM1 APU A8 chips that just came out?

[19:51] koshieFinalReliz, usb sticks/SD cards/SSD drived are flash [19:51] I don't see why you'er all complicating things [19:51] Shiggs|MB, do you see the difference? It's all in one line [19:51] and Shiggs|MB please mind your attitude toward helpers - they are volunteers and nobody owes you anything [19:52] how do i upload a theme of save it in some way, because im reinstalling lucid [19:52] ok screw this... I have work and I'm late sas it is [19:52] as it is* [19:52] Shiggs|MB, because if you pastebin something, people will asuume you're talking with someone and sending them some output of a command. If you make your question in many lines (like you did the first time), otherspeople conversatins will be in the middle and make it hard to understand [19:52] they left [19:53] rage quit [19:54] tg [19:54] ha [19:54] thanks pfifo carandraug [19:55] koshieFinalReliz, here's what I'd so (be very careful with the command) "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/usb-dev-path bs=1M" [19:55] I have 'mysql-server-core-5.1' and also the mysql client package installed. I didn't install it myself and I don't host anything. Is it okay if I remove these packages? or does something need them? [19:55] koshieFinalReliz, make sure you have the right path for the USB device [19:55] carandraug, on a flash memory it's okay ? [19:55] But not on a hard drive [19:56] I am having problems with my WiFi, getting drivers to be installed to be precise. When I click "Additional drivers", and choose for the "Broadcom STA wireless driver" to be installed, I receive the error message stating I should check my /var/log/jockey.log. Its content is here: http://pastebin.com/HFfy5j9b [19:56] koshieFinalReliz, hmm... I do it when throwing HD from the lab away. Never done it on USB sticks but I'd guess it would be the same [19:56] koshieFinalReliz, on a harddrive, you might want to run it 2 or more times [19:56] Hi.How to Prioritise TCP ACK Packets in Ubuntu 11.04 [19:56] pfifo, a software who pass 30 or 40 times is better, no ? [19:56] Sub_Zero: try sudo apt-get remove ....., it will tell you if something depends on that package [19:56] (or more) [19:57] koshieFinalReliz, no reason you can dd 30 or 40 times, it would probably be quicker too [19:57] pfifo, it's not automatic :) [19:57] But I understand [19:57] koshieFinalReliz, you can use /dev/random instead of /dev/zero to be extra safe. But isn't that paranoya already? [19:57] koshieFinalReliz, but like i said, for flash memory 1 pass is all you need [19:57] carandraug, not really, it's for a personnal project, I need a lot of security [19:58] Hi all [19:58] (a personnal and legal project :P) [19:58] So any ideas where i need to start [19:58] guntbert Nothing depends on it it says. Thanks [19:58] Wantstolearn, your looking for the `tc` program [19:58] koshieFinalReliz, ok. Well, I'd still use one pass of /dev/random only. IOt's up to you to run that command as many times you want though [19:58] ? [19:59] please clarify [19:59] What version of Ubuntu you are using wantstolearn?Im using Ubuntu 10.10 [19:59] Wantstolearn, youll need to read the maual, its too much to spoon feed you, `man tc` [19:59] ok.Thanks you [19:59] Wantstolearn: have you researched "QOS" on linux [19:59] yes [20:00] Im using linux 3 years. [20:00] koshieFinalReliz, so if your USB is on /dev/sdc, run the command "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdc bs=1M" [20:00] Is there any lithuanians? [20:01] how do i see where a particular partition is mounted to?

Splitting them up into multiple lines clutters the channel and makes the conversation harder to follow. [20:24] sarthor_: look into /var/log/... there should be squid logs somewhere [20:24] will do. take care [20:24] Wantstolearn, what do you mean? [20:25] Ok-- weird problem-- cannot FTP out to my web severs(which are outside of my network and available from the net) from within my network... Prior to installing my Fios system with an internal router... i was able to ftp to them no problem.

I have the Fios modem router set up on 192.168.1.1 and my internal lan (connected by an inte [20:25] hrmmm i think it works now [20:25] crackerjackz: you think? [20:26] ha ha it works! [20:26] crackerjackz: oh good [20:26] guntbert: i written that from the logs. also in /var/log/squid/cache.log says, /var/spool/squid/00 no such file or directory, also it says, page faults with physical i/0 0 [20:26] crackerjackz: I don't know what 'it' is [20:26] Tigerboy: what ftp mode are you trying to use: active or passive? [20:26] ah passive mode [20:26] edbian, "it" is my microphone.. and it wouldn't work on flash based sites for some reason.. i think when i updated everything it fixed it [20:27] sarthor_: check if /var/spool/squid/00 exists [20:27] crackerjackz: oh yay \o/ [20:27] Best media player for Ubuntu?

[20:28] guntbert: No. i did ls /var/spool/squid3/, no file or directory is there, squid can not create that directory i think. may be some permission problem.

[20:30] guntbert:yes i can SSH using key based encryption and all things like HTTP/s and video streams the only other problem is with that plug in net phone but I don't think it's related... skype even works fine [20:30] guntbert: yes [20:31] Does anyone know how to get a Via VT 6410 to 'see' drives in ubuntu 10.10? [20:31] guntbert, your question looks like a ternary statement [20:31] Phr3d13: is the via chipset supported in linux ? [20:31] i had the same set up with an older router before it burned up and had to get a new one with the fious mode/router on it's own subnet(lan side) branching to the new router with another subnet [20:31] i believe so [20:31] and it worked fine === cihan is now known as Guest68341 [20:31] the pci ide card shows up in the drives applet [20:31] sarthor_: ok, one easy thing to try: delete everything under /var/spool/squid3 and then try recreating the cache again [20:31] Hello!

[20:33] my logs are here, http://pastebin.com/Ltsakf0G [20:33] Tigerboy: one weird idea: switch the ftp mode to active (it *should* not work, but who knows...) [20:33] sarthor_: ok, one easy thing to try: delete everything under /var/spool/squid3 and then try recreating the cache again [20:33] guntbert: I did try that ... I have tried almost everything I can possibly think of. [20:34] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/hDUW5pnD === sarthor__ is now known as sarthor [20:34] Phr3d13: how many disks are in your system ?

Any ideas? [20:35] i cant get no sound through my headphones but the internal speaker works, does any one know why? [20:35] a total of 4 physical drives [20:35] guntbert: do you think some way it is mis reporting the IP to the web server?

[20:35] *ftp [20:35] guntbert: should i create that /var/spool/squid3 dir manually or squid3 -z will create it? [20:35] because they are on a different ide controller [20:36] molossus: Red Hat Enterprise Linux is oriented towards businesses. Ubuntu is oriented at consumers. (To be honest I was kidding :) ) [20:36] molossus: try them both, see what you like [20:36] guntbert: No I did reach one that is not using TLS from a windows box [20:36] what is npviewer.bin [20:36] i have one ide connector on my mobo, and a pci ide/raid card (VT6410 chipset) [20:36] sarthor: try to leave it to squid [20:36] you also have to pay for RHEL, but it comes with professional support [20:36] Phr3d13: well, your OS can only see 2 hard disks [20:36] ahhh adobe flash plugin for firefox [20:36] guntbert: DO you think the FTP connection might be reporting the internal lan IP to the web server? [20:37] Phr3d13: a 160GB disk and an 80GB disk, are either of them attatched to the pci card ? [20:37] nope [20:37] ikonia, currently i am running rhel 6.1 on my laptop and it runs fine , but i wanted to know if ubuntu 10.04 LTS would run better [20:37] Phr3d13: ok, so it's more realistic that the card is not supported [20:37] Tigerboy: next idea: have a look at the server logs to see what happens (I cannot guess about your last question) [20:37] molossus: try it as better is subjective to the person running it [20:37] molossus, that's a tough one to answer,, you would have to test it on that hardware [20:37] but the card shows up in the disk utility [20:38] Phr3d13: that doesn't mean it's supported [20:38] oh [20:38] Phr3d13: that just means there is a dumb device [20:38] Phr3d13: are you using the card as JBOD or raid ? [20:38] i'm guessing jbod, cause its not raid [20:39] Phr3d13: which suggests more to me the card isn't compatible [20:39] i have a hard drive and a dvdrw attached to it [20:39] Hi, I used to be able to rearrange the open items in my taskbar, but now I can't. Anyone know how I can re-enable that? [20:39] ikonia, the only thing that concerns me about rhel is about " Heavy laptop disk cycling" , ubuntu is also mentioned here https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv6-list/2011-January/msg00039.html [20:39] guntbert: thanks ... so you think it is a problem on the server side... it does filter for IP in on the server side based upon the publicly routeable IP [20:39] What system is Ubuntu 11.x using for audio now? [20:39] spikku: right click and uncheck lock to panel [20:39] hey guys [20:39] ParadigmUltra, alsa/pulseaudio [20:39] the talk command works with mac too ? [20:40] anyone know of a panel applet for ping? [20:40] pfifo: both? [20:40] cccaldas: I think it's 'say' on mac [20:40] hm [20:40] ParadigmUltra, yes [20:40] k thanks [20:40] I need to constantly ping my router to see if i have a decent wifi connection [20:40] one more quick question -- does anyone recommend going from gnome 2.X to 3 on Ubuntu 11.04? [20:40] say on mac its other thing [20:40] :) [20:40] :( [20:40] Tigerboy: I don't "think" anything at the moment, I want you to sample as many facts as possible, then maybe we know the answer - or we will have to start guessing/trying [20:41] Tigerboy, no [20:41] i have 2 macs, and i wish to talk between with terminal, is it possible ? [20:41] Tigerboy, gnome3 is not supported [20:41] guntbert: thanks I will do that in a moment have to go to another pc [20:41] Tigerboy, gnome 3 on 11.04 will break Unity and most likely other things on the system [20:41] So one step closer i need to accept syn packets via iptabbles [20:41] coz_: thanks [20:41] hey, windows screwed over my computer so bad I can't boot from my CD/DVD drive anymore--completely negated the BIOS. [20:41] reset cmos [20:42] anadon: I find it hard to believe windows edited the bios. [20:42] Phr3d13, No, I mean the open taskbar items, not the launch icons. [20:42] Tigerboy, if you want to test gnome3 download a fedora 15 live dvd [20:42] anadon, you need to change the boot priority in your bios [20:42] Tigerboy: take you time - the logs will tell you if the connect was made at all,.... [20:42] cccaldas: What does "talk" mean to you here? [20:42] what are the names of some good "terminals" [20:42] i dunno, mine move [20:42] guntbert: ok [20:42] so, talk is the same on linux and mac [20:42] crackerjackz: gnome-terminal [20:43] i just want to know how can i chat with talk command between 2 macs [20:43] if bios is corrupted patch the bios [20:43] does it reach POST [20:43] Its not the BIOS. If it were that easy, I'd have this fixed in under 30 seconds. I switched my disk format to GUID and so windows made a efi partition which i think is acting as the BIOS. [20:43] i just installed 11.04 server x64 from a usb stick, onto an encrypted lvm, with /home on a raid. on first boot, grub loads fine, but after picking the default image, i just get a blinking cursor. i tried repeating the install, but no change as far as i can tell. what sort of things might be going wrong; where could i look for documentation on this sort of problem? [20:43] crackerjackz: terminator if you want a good terminal manager [20:43] Anyone know the best way to get microphone output through wine apps? [20:43] anadon: A partition on the HDD cannot replace or act as the bios. What is the problem? [20:44] cccaldas: Ah ok, sorry, didn't know it. [20:44] ccallahan: point camera at mac, have pc with ubuntu pic up the vid? [20:44] wine congif [20:44] u find it there [20:44] ohh, I enabled OSS and that seems to work [20:44] Don't know what that is, but it works :-) [20:44] anadon: An efi partition holds the bootloader and boots after the bios but before the OS [20:45] ParadigmUltra: oss worked for me every time [20:46] guntbert: I deleted everything in /var/spool/squid3 dir, i applied the command squid3 -z, and that said Creating swap directories, but there is not squid3 directory , [20:46] sarthor: lokk in the logs where it created them [20:46] *look [20:46] guntbert: ok. [20:48] Hi all. I have downloaded a cursor theme but I'm unsure how to install it, anyone able to help? [20:49] right click desktop -> change desktop background [20:49] Oraiz, are you running unity or classic [20:49] Oraiz: extract it and drag it to the Appearence window [20:50] Classic, but I'm playing around with 'Macbuntu'. When I try to drag and drop to the theme window it says it isn't a valid theme. [20:50] Oraiz, ok open system /preference/appearance [20:50] Yup [20:50] Oraiz, when that opens click the "Install" button and locate the cursor tar.gz package [20:50] guntbert: is not saying anything about creating directory, just it says creating swap directory [20:51] Ok, sec. [20:51] Oraiz, then when you want to use it,,, click the "Customize " button and locate the "pointer" tab [20:51] im trying to connect to mpd from other computer on same network on port 6600. it connects on localhost with mpd client just fine. i tried setting a firewall rule to allow port 6600 in from anywhere... doesnt work. any ideas? [20:52] Oraiz, ir you are using compiz along with this , the cursor may not show up on all applications,, but th ere is a simple command fix for that [20:52] I am using compiz, yes. The theme I currently have only works when over some applications (Firefox, for example). [20:53] Oraiz, right ,, that can be fixed [20:53] Top bar (where the indicators are) keeps continuously closing and opening in unity 2d - any ideas? [20:53] Oraiz, I have to do this on each system. as well as distribution since I only use one certain cursor theme on every system [20:53] sarthor: sorry, its been too long since I last configured squid, so I don't know where squid3 creates them by default, but the squid docs on http://www.squid-cache.org/ are fairly good [20:53] Oraiz, so when you choose your theme remember that name of it,, and let me kn ow [20:54] "Macbuntu-Cursors" [20:54] Without the quotes, of course. === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [20:55] Oraiz, ok open a terminal and paste this command in it,... sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme look for that theme name in the list and use the number it's attached to [20:56] Oraiz, then next time you start up or restart x ,, that theme should be used on all appliations with or without compiz running [20:56] hey, back with the windows blocking booting from the CD/DVD drive. Update--I can't access my own BIOS. Windows royally screwed up. [20:57] I think I need creative ways to destroy windows' efi patition [20:57] I have setup etc/fstab to connect me to a NAS, fine. when i change networks i want another nas to connect. I did just add the details think the 1st would faila nd then the next nas would join, but it hangs instead of fail.. How can I setup this action? === user___ is now known as kv102t [20:57] I have setup etc/fstab to connect me to a NAS, fine. when i change networks i want another nas to connect. I did just add the details think the 1st would faila nd then the next nas would join, but it hangs instead of fail.. How can I setup this action? [20:57] coz_, the cursor theme isn't in that list. :\ [20:57] anadon, refer to your motherboards user manual, it should give you info on what to do. [20:58] Oraiz, did it install properly? [20:58] pfifo: for a Clevo make? FFUUUUU [20:58] Well, I assume so, as it's working over some windows. It's available in the theme->pointer menu as wlel. [20:59] Oraiz, ok, you might have to restart x or reboot,, I have seen some themes not show up until a reboot [20:59] anadon: Does your computer have EFI firmware? I don't see how Windows could prevent you from booting from a CD. [20:59] hi, upon booting in to a fresh install of 11.04, i got a pop up telling me that I don't have the hardware to run Unity...my video card is a Radeon 9200 Pro [RV280] which i think should be supported. I can see the radeon module is loaded. Anything I can check to get it working? [20:59] Ok, I'll do that and try the same terminal command and report back if it doesn't work. Thanks! [20:59] Oraiz, cool [21:00] Windows installed its own EFI firmware [21:00] I'll brb, going to try and nuke the BIOS for what its worth.... [21:00] finally got mpd to work [21:01] anadon: It doesn't work that way. Windows cannot convert your firmware from BIOS to EFI. [21:02] anadon didn't read your question since i just got online [21:02] but EFI is for new generation of motherboards [21:02] [21:02] us, those who got motherboards with bios installed don't have the option for EFI you need a new motherboard :D [21:02] i think. [21:03] EFI is the replacement for bios :) [21:03] bogdaniel: anadon left. [21:03] ahhh [21:03] but i`m right jordan no ? [21:03] didn't had the time to go over the new products :) [21:04] I'll brb, going to try and nuke the BIOS for what its worth....and I can't! [21:04] anadon: It doesn't work that way. Windows cannot convert your firmware from BIOS to EFI. [21:04] That's what it in effect did [21:04] anadon: No, it is not. You are confused. [21:04] bogdaniel, he has a new motherboard which supports EFI, he switched to EFI and GUID disks and it installed some type of firmware that is preventing him from booting to a CD. [21:05] I can't in any way access my BIOS [21:05] yes, he got it right [21:05] but this should not be happening none the less [21:05] ahh i see :) [21:05] hi . hamed@hamed:~$ sudo nautilus [21:05] [sudo] password for hamed: [21:05] sudo: nautilus: command not found [21:06] then i apologize for talking bad [21:06] anadon: Does your computer have EFI *firmware*? That is something to do with the hardware and has nothing to do with installing Windows or what is on your hard drive. [21:06] i am trying to login as root [21:06] !root | hamed [21:06] hamed: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:06] !gksudo | hamed [21:06] hamed: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [21:06] I have setup etc/fstab to connect me to a NAS, fine. when i change networks i want another nas to connect. I did just add the details think the 1st would faila nd then the next nas would join, but it hangs instead of fail.. How can I setup this action? [21:07] not that I know of in that way, but that's in a grey area for me. Windows installed its own firmware after I installed gnacktrack (ubuntu 10.10 derivative) which worked like it should [21:07] the laptop originally used MBR [21:07] anadon: Installing Windows does not install firmware. You are mistaken. [21:08] what is the preferred method for installing jdk in ubuntu? [21:08] Also, windows is not installed on the first partitions === debian2 is now known as tin45 [21:08] Jordan_U: O'm telling you exactly what I am seeing--windows installed EFI. [21:08] hi ! what are de default lib path for the linker ? [21:08] hola [21:09] LaChouffe libdir='/usr/lib' [21:09] !java > Fire-_-Fly [21:09] Fire-_-Fly, please see my private message [21:09] anadon: I am telling you that that is not possible. You are mistaken and confused. I am certain of this. [21:09] LaChouffe put this in your .bashrc LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib [21:10] what configuration file do i set a default gateway in? [21:10] i have more than one NIC [21:10] keep having to type route del default gw 192.168.2.1 eth1 [21:10] * DIL is confused [21:10] skEwb: ok, thanks i knew that this is for the default i686 linker [21:10] Hey everyone, I just signed up for Netflix and went online to check out a movie in the Instant Play category. I see that they block me because I need to have a Windows or Mac while using Chrome, so I fire up Firefox and use Default User Agent addon to fake as IE 8. I then try again, but get a message about ActiveX needing to be on. As I understand it, ActiveX is IE only, so does this mean Netflix Instant Play is a no-go for Linux/Ubuntu :( [21:10] should work x64 too [21:10] skEwb: but i'm using a cross compilation linker [21:11] works for me [21:11] Jordan_U: I am not an idiot with this. Windows installed its own 100 MB EFI as the 3rd partition on my disk. I did not put in there, and I looked at everything before i installed windows. Windows itself says there's a EFI partition there, and its in the exact pattern windows installs for its recovery partition. [21:11] anadon: pfifo's explanation of the situation is possible, but I don't know how he has determined this. [21:11] skEwb: trying to play with qemu-arm and it cannot find libc6 [21:11] intlkleinblue: you need silverlight [21:11] intlkleinblue, Netflix doesnt work on linux [21:11] what pfifo said [21:11] skEwb: so LD_LIBRARY_PATH make the job [21:11] anadon: it formated the disk as guid, but it didnt not install efi, how should it? [21:11] anyone know how to set a default route in ubuntu? [21:11] intlkleinblue: and no, moonlight doesn't support al silverlight features [21:12] all* [21:12] zykotick9, thanks. I was trying to make my own package with java-package and fakeroot, but java-package isn't available anymore I guess [21:12] iam quite sure that windows doenst even work with efi [21:12] Shucks. This sucks. I guess I'll have to put on pants and go watch it on the downstairs Windows box then. [21:12] LaChouffe yes also you must have dev g++ packs installed [21:12] maybe on ia64 but not x86 stuff [21:12] i just watch netflix on my wii and bluray player [21:12] no need to use the computer [21:12] anadon: An EFI partition is not EFI firmware. [21:12] intlkleinblue, try vbox or another virtual machine [21:12] LaChouffe have you tried apt-get install build-essential [21:13] Ubuntu Rules [21:13] mgolisch: in the scenario where there's a blank disk with GUID, windows has to make its own EFI to work. that's why. This is not a discussion of how it could happen--it happened. I need to find a way out of it. [21:13] how to i view the output of a compiled c program [21:13] LaChouffe here is mine: sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev [21:13] anadon: it cant install efi on your computer, how would it boot after that? [21:13] Jordan_U: have you read the wikipedia article and used EFI before? That's what its intended for. [21:13] pcs are not designed to run/use efi [21:13] mn [21:13] d [21:13] d [21:13] they have bios [21:13] d [21:13] d [21:13] SharkBoy96: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:14] skEwb: ok thanks i'll check that [21:14] how to i view the output of a compiled c program? [21:14] mgolisch: it boots from the EFI it made! [21:14] anadon: I have written code that is part of an EFI bootloader. [21:14] k [21:14] no it created a efi boot partition on that guid formated disk [21:14] thats all it did [21:14] Jordan_U: great--have you used one for awhile? [21:14] and your pc uses that mbr emulation shit guid has [21:15] ALL BESIDE THE POINT [21:15] How can I add Terminal to my Launcher bar? [21:15] anadon, no one knows how to fix the problem, otherwise it would have been mentioned [21:15] mgolisch: control the langauge [21:15] anadon: just create a partition manualy and have it install on that, if you realy dont want that 100mb boot partition [21:15] x1: we've been through this before and you know the correct channel [21:16] uhg. === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [21:16] anadon: so what exactly is it you want? [21:17] and how is all of this connected to ubuntu support? [21:17] how do I fix my boot partition [21:17] it keep saying I'm low [21:18] use fdisk or cfdisk harushimo [21:18] fixboot, fix mbr [21:18] what's the difference [21:19] same thing [21:19] [21:19] what about the disk analyze program [21:19] or use gparted [21:19] unsure [21:19] harushimo, what exactly is the problem?

Secondly, whenever my user boots up (as in login, startup, etc) The default pdf reader opens up [23:32] bobweaver, it will either be in /etc/init or /etc/init.d [23:32] * bobweaver goes off to test [23:34] intlkleinblue, the PDF thing can be fixed by logging out and choosing to save settings [23:35] intlkleinblue, the other problem should have options in the power managment dialog [23:38] hmm, what do you mean pfifo on the logging out and choosing save settings? Not sure I follow... [23:38] pfifo: and on the power mgmt dialog, I don't see what you mean there either [23:39] hello here [23:39] intlkleinblue, when you log out, there is an option to save settings, if selected, then all of the windows you have open, will reopen when you log back in. [23:40] dont have any problem. just wanna know the must have apps for ubuntu ;-) [23:40] intlkleinblue, I have to goto screensaver settings, and then from that dialog, there is a power managment button. From there it asks me what todo when the laptop lid is closed [23:46] MikeTG, you only need the required packages in the base repo. [23:46] MikeTG, i cant find a list [23:47] pfifo: ok === eu is now known as Guest31734 [23:51] HackerII: did you just add kde or a second os ? [23:51] hello today, on kernel.ubuntu, i downloaded 2.6.38, i'm on 10.10 and it wont see it, keeps saying needs kernel patch 2.4, no fix ?? [23:51] no, it was the last os i put on tho [23:52] HackerII: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get --fix-missing && sudo update-grub [23:52] i think kde has the say in who gets the kernel, id like to change that [23:53] ah, very nice, thats what i was looking for, your my best friend now [23:53] HackerII: kde is just the surface, won't affect choice of kernel [23:53] had me worried there fora min [23:53] thanks DasEi [23:54] HackerII: see if that solves, else ask again [23:54] ok, lemme get it done, and ill come back, again, thanks DasEi [23:54] I am going to build a new machine to run KVM on, so then I can virtualized lots of crap... I am going to with a core i5 processor, what is the best socket choice for that? [23:54] * HackerII reboots [23:55] froq, it dosent matter [23:55] pfifo, I thought like that 1155 socket was bad or something else... [23:57] CPU socket has nothing todo with the features that a processor has [23:57] is there any reason a maverick package cant be installed on natty? [23:58] pfifo, ooo.... I that the 1155 was like bad tech or old tech or something... thanks for the update :) [23:58] OPS [23:59] /me bows to pfifo . SIR YOU ARE A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR. These issues have been bothering me for months and you've finally solved it. Plus, I got on top of my Default Keyring issue as well in the process!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. [23:59] HOW CAN I EVER REPAY YOU [23:59] i have a weird problem. i setup imap (gmail)and it worked fine anywhere. initially i used comcast's smtp server though. it worked at home. then when i traveled it stopped working. the stmp part anyway. i couldn't send mails either through my cellular phone (same setup as laptop imap to get and smtp server to send) or panera wifi hotspot. then i came back home and smtp worked again! now i set it up to use gmail's smtp servers as i thought [23:59] comcast was the problem. guess what! it worked at home but when i travel it stops working again. any ideas why? i should be able to access gmail's smtp server anywhere i would think.
