[01:35] apporc: try sudo os-prober [01:35] dasei, no i've been booting from just a usb-stick the whole time, original system only had win7 and my dvd player conked out on me, so i put ubuntu on a jump drive [01:35] Dulak: As far as i know is it last recommnded in #bash [01:36] skypce, add an entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom if you insist on managing grub on ubuntu [01:36] skypce, disregard that [01:36] Dulak: no it doesn't :) [01:36] apporc, add an entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom if you insist on managing grub on ubuntu [01:36] dasei - thought it was an actual installer. i might try to network install but it looks pretty complicated. [01:37] uff [01:37] Thanks in advance. [01:37] Da|Mummy: the last $1 sould be "$1" [01:37] carldonlap: and the usb has no option for install ? neither at bootup or as icon on desktop ? which iso did you use ? [01:37] i will search info in google thank you guys [01:37] pfifo: I have done that.but the same 10.04.2 ubuntu ,my friends' grub can find his gentoo and record it in grub.cfg [01:38] apporc, ive had it go both ways, in arc i get mixed results too [01:38] no my only options from grub are ubu and ubu recov, i think i got the wrong app for jump install [01:38] apporc, henc I dont ever let ubuntu do anything boot loader related anymore [01:38] apporc:silly question, but is your gentoo partition bootable? (boot flag set?) [01:39] forget what it's called now, but it lets you pick from a whole list of linux releases or specify your own iso === cihan is now known as Guest81728 [01:39] Carlonlap:You can just download and put a regurlar ubuntu desktop cd iso on a usb stick (howto on ubuntu.com) [01:40] this lets you boot into a live desktop and install, or install directly without the live desktop [01:40] qin, im having no luck [01:41] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [01:41] ok why-not, i should probably have RTFM before i started anyway =) no adventure if you don't jump head firest [01:41] carldonlap: which os are you talking from now ? [01:41] ^^ [01:41] i'm on my laptop now, 1.0.4 [01:41] 11* [01:42] Carlonlap:making a usb stick under ubuntu is super easy [01:42] system --> administration --> startup disk creator [01:42] Da|Mummy: can you: 1. paste output of ls -1 ; 2. for i in *; do echo that is "$i"; done and paste it too, to paste.ubuntu.com" [01:43] carldonlap: d/l regular desktop-iso, use unetbootin, that provides an installer, same with netinstall or alternate, re-record udbdrive and [01:43] !md5sum [01:43] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:43] why-not:no , boot flag not set. [01:43] apporc:might be why grub is skipping partition [01:43] not bootable === jonah is now known as bladerunner [01:44] thanks a lot dasei, i think i'm on the right track now [01:45] Does anyone used successfuly ffmpeg with -vhook in Ubuntu? [01:45] #join bluelighted [01:45] hi bladerunner [01:45] apporc, that shouldn't matter, does os-prober show you gentoo install? [01:45] bladerunner: /j #blu... [01:47] hey guys i have a question [01:47] !ask | seanmc98 [01:47] seanmc98: 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. :-) [01:47] Could anyone point me in a direction to find out more about virtual filesystems? [01:48] pfifo: yes ,os-prober show that. [01:48] Polah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS [01:48] Polah:how do you mean? as in virtual harddisks, encrypted volumes or as in lvm? [01:48] Polah, nvm my comment [01:49] ok. so i downloaded ubuntu (the latest one) and burnt it to a cd but my laptop cant boot from a CD or USB so i copied it to the hard drive so that when it boots it asks to boot windows xp or ubuntu and it stops at something with the kernel that i have been told it is a kernel panic. my laptop has a 10 gig HDD and 64 mb or RAM any help? [01:49] why-not:i toggle a boot flag for that partition ,but grub-update still won't record it in grub.cfg [01:49] apporc: so it's in grub now :) [01:50] apporc, grub-update from debain isnt really fool proof, it probably dosent know what it needs to write in the grub.cfg so just skips it all together [01:50] seanmc98: 64mb seems to below standart [01:50] why-not: I have a webserver and I was looking around through SSH and noticed that my home directory had something like 900GB usage while I've only used 15GB myself. I figure it's some setup where there's a filesystem there but a virtual system on top for each user and they can only really access their own. I was interested on the setup and benefits of this and wanted to look into setting it up for my own server [01:51] i know but i have bought ram and when i boot up pc with the ram it wont boot up [01:51] pfifo: ok, but though os-prober found gentoo but , there are still no gentoo in grub.cfg [01:51] seanmc98:you can try xubuntu instead, is smaller in use. [01:51] seanmc98: Wrong type of ram? [01:51] apporc, probably dosent know which file is the kernel, and debian uses a initrd, gentoo does not [01:52] i guess but the ram was supposed to work woth the pc [01:52] apporc: you can manually add it to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, case fail [01:52] DasEi: it's still not in grub [01:52] pfifo: thanks. [01:52] DasEi:thanks. [01:52] seanmc98: Lets start from bios, did you check boot order? [01:52] Polah:If you are root (sudo) and do a "do -hs /home*" does it not show all the data [01:53] why-not: du -sh [01:53] or are you not root on that box, then its simply a filesystem rights thingy [01:53] im sorry but i am not too familiar with computers [01:53] du -hs * [01:53] seanmc98, who put the RAM in the computer? [01:54] gives totals [01:54] i was given the computer the way it was [01:54] so my moms boyfriends brother [01:54] seanmc98: When it boots, at the bottom (first few seconds) is written press F2 for setup, press F2 or whatever it wants. [01:54] apporc: you want me to pastebin an exampel entry ? [01:55] why-not: do u suggets 10.4 or 11.4? [01:55] qin: not this one [01:55] seanmc98: for desktop i always use latest [01:55] DasEi:no ,i have done that from the beginning . I just don't know why it can't do it grub itself. [01:55] but i have to press F2 to boot into bios [01:56] bios being the greyish and blue screen [01:56] DasEi: And when my friends use the same version of ubuntu ,the same version of gentoo .just his gentoo is in ext3 filesystem , and his grub can recoard his gentoo. [01:56] seanmc98: Yes [01:56] apporc: I also wonder, I've seen osprober not finding another os, but not if so not updating, look in there, maybe it gone there [01:56] seanmc98:in the bios you can usually set boot priority (e.g. 1cdrom 2harddisk) [01:57] (/etc/grub.d/40_custom), apporc [01:57] let me boot up old laptop into bios [01:57] hold on [01:57] apporc: os-prober even works on ntfs [01:58] does anyone know how i can use two umts network cards at the same time ? [01:58] Is there any way to restore Ubuntu how it was, say, a week ago? [01:58] I will read the script myself . I think it is about grub-mkconfig [01:59] ok i am in bios [01:59] mounting remote ssh server with nautilus doesn't create the usual directory structure in ~/.gvfs anymore [01:59] seanmc98: Do you see boot, options order something? [01:59] seanmc98: got any option regarding to boot device prio ? [02:00] EmuAlert, no, but you can make incremental backups to prevent fture mishaps [02:00] qin:lol [02:00] yes [02:00] why-not: Was waiting for you like a minute before hitting Enter. [02:00] it goes in order from floppy, internal hard drive then CDROM?DVD [02:00] seanmc98:try to set it up so your cdrom drive is 1st priority [02:00] qin:yeah i am slow, sorry [02:00] qin:its late over here [02:01] Mon Jul 11 03:01:21 BST 2011 [02:01] ok [02:01] Mon Jul 11 04:01:31 CEST 2011 === tum is now known as Guest92791 [02:02] seanmc98:now you should be able to boot from a cd [02:02] ?? how is it possible for nautilus to access a ssh share via it's bookmarks and not create the ~/.gvfs/ssh at servername/ ? it usually does, but today it hasn't (even though i can browse the ssh server in nautilus) [02:02] no i haven't mounted it with sshfs [02:03] seanmc98:if you have downloaded a iso and burned it to a cd you should be able to boot form it [02:03] why-not: if he saves the settings [02:03] airtonix, `?.gvfs is the old method, new and updated apps use a URI syntax [02:03] it still sticks at kernel [02:03] lintux:true [02:03] ~/.gvfs [02:03] seanmc98:what message ? [02:03] pfifo: i don't think you understand what i'm saying [02:04] airtonix, i perfectly understand what your saying [02:04] seanmc: you might need to install from the alternate installer cd, because of the low memory in your system [02:04] seanmc98: There is no way Ubuntu will boot from CD with 64mb. [02:04] pfifo no actually i don't think you do. : i don't care if it's the old method. it's what my ubuntu 10.10 has been using for the last 3 months its what my desktop uses and still uses... but today without updates it doesn't create the gvfs directory structure [02:05] [ 12.224915] [] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10 [02:06] being silly can i boot my commodore 64 with ubuntu? [02:06] why-not: [ 12.224915] [] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10 [02:06] airtonix, I have no idea why it changed, you should be able to force it, although Im not sure how [02:07] lintux: no [02:07] k [02:07] seanmc98:hmm, no clue [02:07] pfifo: so where is the information about the changes ? [02:08] qin:i am actually trying a install in a 64mb virtual machine to see what happens ;) [02:08] qin:its booting in text mode so far [02:09] why-not: But cd require more ram than vm or vbox install. [02:09] what do u mean 64mb [02:09] seanmc98: ram [02:09] ohh [02:10] qin:i am guessing he has to use the laternate install to get it installed [02:10] qin: dont know how fast it will run tho [02:10] so if that works will it work for me? [02:10] airtonix, no idea [02:10] seanmc98:in theory [02:10] why-not: do u know how to format a HDD and reinstall windows xp? [02:11] pfifo: so how do you know its "the old method" [02:11] why-not: Or lighter distro, not certain what it lubuntu requiment. [02:11] seanmc98:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems , this might help. Its a tad outdated [02:11] qin:would be better, or xubuntu [02:11] seanmc98: You want insatll and run linux? or just use it from cd? [02:12] airtonix, cause gvfs replaced the older GnomeVFS system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS [02:12] install and run it as my primary OS [02:12] seanmc98:if you have a xp cd, boot from xp cd, you can format form installaion [02:12] lubuntu is not lighter [02:13] seanmc98:but i wonder if xp will run anything near to decent on your hardware [02:13] well i only have one blank cd left [02:13] i am running xp now on it [02:13] its super super slow [02:13] with all updates including sp3 and a virusscanner? [02:13] seanmc98: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions#Live_media [02:13] seanmc98:that is what i would expect [02:14] so im confused what is the best version of linux to run on my machine? [02:14] seanmc98, 2.6 is the best linux version by far :) [02:15] but for my laptop? [02:15] DSL [02:15] seanmc98: what you choose depends on the specs of your hardware [02:15] seanmc98: I guess, carefully sescted puppy (lightest possible) [02:15] *selected [02:16] qin: can u help me select? [02:16] I had a cli-only installation of 10.10 working and upgraded to 11.04, now basic graphics are totally hosed, cant see the ubuntu (purple) screen or any prompts... white vertical bands on screen only... looks like a broken atari. [02:16] and with the link i was sent what about feather linux? [02:16] pfifo: surely this didn't happen over the weekend. [02:16] mnemonic76, are you using a nvidia card? [02:16] atari i cool [02:16] pfifo: without me updating [02:17] seanmc98: if you've never used linux don't pick an obscure one [02:17] well then i am completely clueless [02:17] airtonix, no it didnt, i cant tell you why it changed on your system without doing anything. [02:18] pfifo: it is an onboard video on an older compaq... not sure.. checking spec sheets [02:18] seanmc98: I started with ubuntu 10.04, then tried a bunch of them, and now i'm using ubuntu 10.04 again === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:18] seanmc98, get the ubuntu 10.04 livecd, you can install ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu with it, and ubuntu has the best support for new users [02:18] extraclassic: i only have 64mb of ram though [02:18] mnemonic76:depending on how old your gonna see nasty stuff like sis ;) [02:19] seanmc98: lubuntu might work [02:19] can someone link me to the lightest possible verion of puppy linux? [02:20] seanmc98: try puppylinux.org [02:20] unity is crappp [02:20] just found it [02:20] seanmc98: also that has nothing to do with ubuntu [02:20] I can't stand puppy linux [02:20] well i was origionally told to use linux [02:21] ubuntu i mean === peregrinator_six is now known as meCHUPA [02:21] !classic [02:21] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [02:21] classis is good [02:21] justin_234:i kinda like unity, especially for less advanced users [02:21] seanmc98: Get iso from there: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/puppy-4.3/ [02:21] pfifo: OMG, i just went through hell getting this damn thing to this version for my friend... now its like totally borked. any ideas? is there a key to press for a different gfx mode, or ANYTHING? [02:22] seanmc98: If this will not boot, there is DSL and slax (but bit more hectic than puppy) [02:23] mnemonic76, there are a handful of options you can pass to the kernel at boot time, there is a factoid about it, one sec [02:23] what do i click from that link qin [02:23] !ot | qin seanmc98 [02:23] qin seanmc98: #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! [02:23] xangua: Ok [02:23] qin: pm? [02:23] hey how do i recognize ports that are open on my computer? >.. i.e., how do i know if someone is listening to my ports? [02:23] i did the sudo netstat -plntu command [02:23] hello [02:23] qin:ubuntu did not boot with 64mb ram, puppy does [02:24] just tested in my vm ;) [02:24] hmmm can somebody tell me ... is a foreign computer listening to my ports ? http://pastebin.com/88ZSK1jv [02:25] why-not: how do u set up a VM? on windows 7 [02:25] mnemonic76, this is a bootoptions howto, and on it is a link to a list of options https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [02:25] pfifo: thanks... fingers crossed. [02:25] seanmc98: you can use virtualisation softwar like free vmware player, or virtual box [02:25] ok [02:25] Any syslinux experts around? [02:26] seanmc98: then you create a virtual machine with your preferred settings and you can amulate a complete pc [02:26] <__sephiroth> Alright so I just had a bunch of applications stop working... i re dled them and they worked perfectly fine [02:26] <__sephiroth> I didn't change any configs... What would be the culprit? [02:26] joshlegs, i dont see any connections listed [02:26] joshlegs:sudo netstat -an should do the trick [02:27] what's a good file manager that is fast [02:27] I am trying to boot into memtest from a USB stick.. I used unetbootin and it gets to the boot screen but will not boot the image [02:27] so i did the wrong command to see if someone else is listening why-not? [02:27] mrdeb:mc ? [02:28] mrdeb: ordered by speed -> pcmanfm -> thunar -> nautilus -> dolphin [02:28] joshlegs, other computers cant 'listen', the term your looking for is 'connect' [02:28] http://pastebin.com/MvPL4G6F the sudo nestat -an command [02:28] ohhh thanks pfifo ... gracias [02:29] mrdeb: nautilus [02:29] how would i recognize computers making a connection anyway? [02:29] joshlegs: -l is only your listening ports, so not connected [02:29] joshlegs, it depends on protocol [02:30] pfifo: Well, good news is I can hold shift and get into grub2 boot menu... bad news is so far none of the options behaves any differently. recovery mode and older kernels=same result. [02:30] joshlegs: -a (all) -n (show port numbers instead of names) [02:30] ooh ok why-not i think i got ya [02:31] joshlegs:tcp 0 0 192.168.101.4:48442 74.125.77.148:80 ESTABLISHED is a connected tcp sesiion === angel is now known as Guest38790 [02:31] oh noes, ubuntu has quit ;-) [02:31] why-not, thats outbound [02:31] pfifo: if i hit 'e' to edit the command there is an option 'set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode' this looks promising. I am totally out of the grub2 loop though. [02:31] pfifo, in my case yes [02:32] i dont have inbound on my host [02:32] why-not, you know that because of the 192.168.101.4 (the 101.4 part) ??? [02:32] joshlegs, ESTABLISHED [02:32] ohhh ok [02:32] and how did you know it was an outbount instead of inbound ?? [02:33] 192.168.101.4 is my local ip [02:33] joshlegs, you should do some research about tow tcp/ip and udp work, your making some assumptions that are wrong ;) [02:33] which originates this connection [02:33] pfifo i've been looking around trying to understand everything. it's just hard to know where to start :( [02:33] pfifo: Im checking out some man pages... thanks for your help! [02:34] mnemonic76, good luck, hope you get it [02:34] joshlegs:http://pastebin.com/8h0N7LTt is form my server, inbound and outbound [02:35] joshlegs, this is a great start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol_Suite [02:35] :D gotta love wiki. why-not, how come you have so many established connections ?

I keep receiving a connection refused…feel like a noob :( [02:36] did it have something to do with this ? --> root@surfert:~# netstat -an Active Internet connections (servers and established) [02:36] joshlegs:cause its my server, it does stuff ;) [02:36] ohhhh :D got ya lol [02:36] why-not, is that bitcoin?

[02:37] _sephirot:buy a new harddrive, its failing in a hardware kinda way [02:37] * joshlegs is very unfamiliar with computeys, obviously :( [02:37] joshlegs: root makes it show all connections, but if your wise like rww you always use sudo instead of logging in as root ;) [02:38] hi everyone [02:38] hey, what does a typical grub2 entry look for win 7? [02:38] :P i do always use sudo. i hear logging in as root can make it easy to bleepedy your system :D lol [02:38] joshlegs: correct, be careful with sudo as well ;) [02:39] ubuntu is free but have much problems ,macosx is better [02:39] :D will do why-not :) im used to just using windows, where all you do is click something .... and you cant really find this stuff out that i know of there [02:39] joshlegs, windows has netstat too [02:40] bsdyy: but its not terribly great in comparison of features, compatability, and customability [02:40] windows suck [02:40] it does? I didnt know .. how do you access it, through command line? (DOS?) :S [02:40] joshlegs, yeah [02:40] ok i call it a morning, later all nn [02:40] anadon fiability [02:40] bsdyy: Please stop [02:40] ok. i dont even know how to get to CL on windows any more :S i think its msconfig? or something similar [02:41] why i have pay for weindows?

[03:54] 100% Completely off topic but does anyone have a more formal word for double down? I.e. to take on more risk? [03:54] billy_ran_away: perhaps you're looking for #ubuntu-offtopic [03:55] arunkumar413, ok that looks perfect, reboot and test it out [03:55] what kind of programme svn is ? [03:55] bill_ran_away: man up [03:55] I know you really don't need an anti-virus for linux. However, I am being extra cautious ... so as to not be a virus host ... [03:55] subversion ? [03:55] Bipul, svn is a version control system. [03:55] Look it up. [03:55] wsbl-uhpd651: it is unlikely that anyone in here uses AVG. Try asking on their forums.

[03:56] arunkumar413, I think it was cause you install grub to /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda7, I thought update-grub would 'update grub' but I guess it didnt [03:56] svn co http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/1.6.2 1.6.2-vanilla <-- when i am trying to install it i get Message The program 'svn' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [03:56] apt-get install subversion [03:56] arunkumar413, im pretty confident that it willl boot this time [03:56] K. does anyone on here currently use avg? [03:57] How do I protect my pc from viruses/spyware on Ubuntu? I'm a newb [03:57] If so, can you help? [03:57] Aple, keep the power turned off [03:57] Bipul: it seems like there are rather obvious directions therwe [03:57] pfifo: What? How will that protect me? [03:58] Aple: I am currently having the same dillemma. I think "pfifo" is just joking. [03:58] !antivirus | wsbl-uhpd651 Aple [03:58] wsbl-uhpd651 Aple: 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 [03:58] Yeah, I'm not trying to be an ass or anything. I have no idea how Ubuntu security and such works. I just want to know how to protect myself. [03:58] Aple, wsbl-uhpd651 linux dosent have rampant virus infection like other popular OS, you dont need or want an anti-virus [03:59] Thanks pfifo [03:59] pfifo: before making our first attempt the default boot loader was of fedora's which is not grub 2 [03:59] Vierd. What makes Linux so special? [03:59] Aple: Most virus out there (usually written to affect Windows systems) will not affect your Linux OS. [03:59] IF you are Linux user you it'self a special ;) [03:59] Aple: However, you can still be a virus host (i.e. pass a virus to a Windows user) without even knowing it. [03:59] No one writes viruses for Linux users? [04:00] arunkumar413, I have no idea what fedora uses, their usually up on tech though so im guessing grub2 [04:00] pfifo: no its not grub 2. its the older one [04:00] Aple: To my knowledge - there are a few out there written for Linux. But in general, the chances of you getting one of these is slim? Can anyone back me up on this statement? [04:01] Aple: I believe this is the case regarding the Linux viruses. [04:01] Aple, its because every piece of software you install will come from ubuntu.com theres no way for someone to get a virus on your system unless you really go out of your way to get one on purpose [04:01] Aple: check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [04:01] Hola [04:02] Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, and get --- dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641642/ [04:02] I like how I told FloodBot1 that I prefer gentoo, yet he invited me here anyway [04:03] Aple: "pfifo" is right. [04:03] what about a fire wall for ubuntu, how effective is ufw? [04:03] new2u: very [04:04] new2u: never knew about ufw? I've used firestarter - is this less effective than ufw? [04:04] Hm... Very interesting indeed [04:04] Thanks pfifo and wsbl-uhpd651 [04:04] firestarter is unmaintained, obsolete, and prone to having issues. use ufw instead. [04:04] rww: how do I install ufw? [04:05] wsbl-uhpd651: it's already installed on Ubuntu by default [04:05] !ufw [04:05] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [04:05] Aple: you may want to pay attention to his firewall discussion - this will prevent viruses from getting onto your computer as well ... [04:06] Ubuntu has no open ports by default, so a firewall is irrelevant, but some people use it as a safety blanket. [04:06] Bleh, screw it all [04:06] pfifo: i'm going to reboot now [04:06] I'm just devving locally [04:06] arunkumar413, good luck [04:06] Good to learn though [04:06] Aple: Check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW. Use the "sudo ufw default deny" command to turn on the ufw firewall - which is alreay inbuilt into Ubuntu ... [04:07] that's not how you turn on ufw, and that setting is set by default anyway [04:07] I think you meant "sudo ufw enable" [04:07] bookmark Iptables howto [04:07] Aple: This is something I did not know before. OK - as "rww" stated "sudo ufw enable" ... [04:07] So I can't get spyware from sites either? [04:07] nobody bothers writing spyware for Ubuntu [04:08] Aple, you can get malicious browser plugins, but but thats about it. [04:08] you mean nobody but microsoft [04:08] Aple: And you can install add-ons in Firefox - to prevent/block these from hitting your system ... [04:09] Aple: Don't install too many of add-ons, though - it could bog down your browser in terms of it performing efficiently and quickly. At this has been my experience ... [04:09] new2u: Microsoft also does not write spyware for Ubuntu. [04:09] pfifo: Any protection against that? [04:10] Oops [04:10] What about Chromium? [04:10] Aple: ... which means be selective in the add-ons you choose. There is often more than one add-on that does essentially the same thing ... [04:10] Chromium seems a lot faster than FF [04:10] Aple: What are people's opinions about Chromium? [04:10] ok rw point taken and thanks for the heads up about Iptables [04:11] What are people's opinions about Chromium? [04:11] can any one tell me the way through which i know which version of python is installed on my ubuntu [04:11] i not speak inglis [04:11] i español [04:11] Bipul: python -V [04:11] !es | feli [04:11] feli: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:11] wsbl: It seems to be pretty fast [04:11] Aple, just dont install any plugins, flash and java are all you really need [04:11] rww: Sorry but I am failing to find 'what you just said' [04:12] Aple: Personally, I've always been leary of using Google Chromium - because it's more of direct line to Google tracking your web usage ... [04:12] Java doesn't come packaged with Ubuntu eh? [04:12] rww: How do you know microsoft does not write spyware for ubuntu? [04:12] Aple: But it's not like Google doesn't do that ANYWAY ... [04:12] Personally I don't care if Google tracks me [04:12] Yeah seriously [04:12] soreau: the xorg-edgers PPA description specifically says not to give people instructions for using xorg-edgers without giving them the PPA description page [04:12] Aple: Cool. Then you're good :) Use Chromium, then - if you are happy with it ... [04:12] Besides, they offer a ton of stuff for free. So what if they want to market stuff -at- me? [04:13] soreau: "** Please do not publish instructions for how to install from this archive without linking to this page! Anyone using packages from this archive is expected to read this page first and it is recommended to check back occasionally for notice on problems that may arise. **" [04:13] I use FF on my html/css designer computer (firebug ;)) [04:13] Aple, no java and flash have to be installed, as with most stuff thats not licensed GPL [04:13] Hi is there a genomenu for ubuntu 11.04:? : http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnomenu-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [04:13] rww: no need to chew soreau out, sheesh. [04:13] Aple: Good point. You feel comfortable with it - so good for you. [04:13] Aple: :) [04:13] rww: Fine but it is impossible for you to have knowledge that microsoft does not write spyware for ubuntu [04:13] Aple: Java 6 comes with Natty Narwhal - already installed ... [04:14] So your statement that it doesn't is spurious [04:14] Gonna dev with chromium on Ubuntu and design with FF on my *mumble Vista mumble* [04:14] soreau: The burden of proof is on people who think it does to provide proof. They have never done so. Therefore, the argument is ridiculous. It is also offtopic for this channel. [04:14] What's Natty Narwhal? [04:14] Theme? [04:14] I think I might be using Unity [04:14] yeah ray charles is good [04:14] tiktalik: I'm not chewing him out, I'm telling him things that he should know from reading the description of the PPA he's recommending. [04:14] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/641647/ what does it indicated? what does this sign means >> [04:14] Bipul: I said -V, not -v [04:15] Aple: Unity is essentially Natty Narwhal - just the "fancier" version ... [04:15] For all we know, microsoft is the *only* company with enough incentive to write spyware/malware/w/e for ubuntu [04:15] /linux [04:15] !ot | soreau [04:15] soreau: #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! [04:15] Aple: You can always switch back to Classic view on the bottom taskbar of your login screen - before logging in ... [04:15] rww: You started it [04:15] soreau: Actually, I didn't [04:15] and either way, I'm ending it ;) [04:15] secured, you running through a vpn?How do you get one set up? [04:16] wsbl: Classic view? Is that Natty Narwhal? [04:16] rww: You said (and I quote) new2u: Microsoft also does not write spyware for Ubuntu. [04:16] rww is a microsoft employee who writes malware for ubuntu and is trying to keep it a secret [04:16] Aple: Is Unity working for you? The buttons on the taskbar on the left already seem finicky to me. So I just went back to Classic view - until the bugs with Unity are figured out ... [04:16] Aple: Yes - Classic view is available in Natty Narwhal. [04:17] Aha! SO that's why the buttons suck! [04:17] new2 i like my vpn with wine this vpn run with wine in ubuntu 11.04 now [04:17] Aple: If you want to try it - just switch it in the "pull up" menu in the taskbar on the bottom of your login screen - in the field pre-populated with the word "Ubuntu". Then login - and there you go ... [04:17] Ok crap. Need to let comp idle so I can get classic view @ login screen [04:18] Aple: HA HA HA. Awesome. You finally figured it out ... [04:18] what is python-yaml ? [04:18] #ubuntu is a lifesaver. I friggin' love irc [04:18] I would know absolutely nothing without IRC + reddit. [04:18] Aple: I was like - why isn't she having problems with that too !!!??? But alas - you have already joined the club ... [04:19] !info python-yaml | Bipul [04:19] Bipul: python-yaml (source: pyyaml): YAML parser and emitter for Python. In component main, is optional. Version 3.09-5ubuntu2 (natty), package size 156 kB, installed size 708 kB [04:19] If i was using synergy, and on my synergy client I switched to the F1 terminal (system terminal?), how would i change it back to f7? [04:19] new2u: can you see my network with vpn wine for ubuntu now?: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2nutaoi&s=7 [04:19] Bipul, may be this http://www.yaml.org/ [04:19] yes Abhijit [04:20] Aple: Yeah - user support is great - sometimes better. You get people on the IRC that don't have prescribed scripts they are asking you - like a customer service center would. People actually on the Ubuntu tech team are on this IRC, so ... [04:20] If I boot my live usb with current changes in casper-rw, can I then have it copy the casper-rw file or it's contents to the ramdisk so it uses it from there and not from my key? [04:20] Aple: And you need to actually log off and then log back on ... to switch to Classic view ... [04:21] I guess arunkumar413 got his ubuntu to boot [04:21] Each time I tell it to boot to ram and it's done I yank the key and it starts thorwing stupid errors and stuff starts crashing. [04:21] Had no luck trying to merge casper-rw and filesystem.squashfs into one and recreating the squashfs. [04:21] wsbl: Well, I've installed about a billion things so I need to restart and smoke anyway [04:21] Hi is there a genomenu for ubuntu 11.04:? : http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnomenu-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [04:21] is there a terminal command to do the equivalent of ctrl+alt+f1? [04:21] Did that and got tons of weird errors and crap popping up but it did actually boot everything to ram. [04:21] Sam98961, are you using the toram option of casper? [04:21] yeah [04:22] well I clicked on the link but don't know about your network [04:22] secured: no. They stopped developing it because Unity has global menu stuff and they're not sure how gnomenu would fit in with GNOME 3. [04:22] Sam98961, are you removing the casper-rw partition? [04:22] secured: https://launchpad.net/gnomenu/+announcement/7977 [04:22] I would like to. [04:23] Sam98961, your not going to be able to get the best of both worlds [04:23] rww: So as I was saying, please do not say that 'Microsoft also does not write spyware for Ubuntu.' because there is no possible way for you to know if that is true or not [04:23] soreau: One last time: This conversation is done, please take offtopic chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic. [04:23] I don't care if I can't change anything after it boots up or if the whoel thing gets wiped out on reboot. [04:23] rww: Fine, done. [04:23] is there a terminal command to do the equivalent of ctrl+alt+f1? [04:24] TechnoCat: not that I know of [04:24] Sam98961, so you just want some extra packages pre-installed? [04:24] =[ [04:24] rww but in ubuntu 11.04 i use ubuntu clasic: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2nutaoi&s=7 [04:24] TechnoCat: chvt 1 [04:24] I've done it once by mounting the two files in another install and rsyncing from casper-rw to the mounted squashfs and it works, but it screws up a lot of random crap so I figured there was a better way. [04:24] Just can't find it yet. [04:24] OK - my last comment for the night. So for any anti-virus software for Linux - to prevent you from being a virus host - here is what I am finding to be the best options ... [04:24] no, I want all kinds of neat crap done and saved to that it all loads to ram. [04:24] secured: And? The developer stopped working on it before 11.04 was released. Hence, no PPA. [04:24] the volume widget disappeared from my system tray. what package does it belong to? [04:24] Jordan_U, THANK YYOU! [04:25] TechnoCat: You're welcome. [04:25] Sam98961, make your own custom livecd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [04:25] yeah [04:25] I did that. [04:25] AVG is OK - if you can get it to turn on. It's virus definitions really aren't complete, though ... [04:25] is there any command to detect which graphics card is one using?? [04:25] bismay, lspci [04:25] Avast sucks ... because it's a 30-day trial - and then you have to pay for it. If it's not too expensive, when then it's worth a shot ... [04:25] Sam98961, then whats the problem? [04:26] bismay, lspci | grep VGA [04:26] Personally ... I am choosing to simply go with turning on my "ufw" firewall - and look into purchase McAfee for Linux (a propriety anti-virus) ... [04:26] I am also going to see if Avira works OK ... [04:26] rww : ok is there another gnomenu similar for ubuntu 11.04 with desktop ubuntu clasic [04:27] But Avira won't be needed .... if I get McAfee ... [04:27] secured: I haven't done it, but I imagine appmenu-gtk (what Unity uses) might work [04:27] technocat ,it lists all the hardware but no graphics card [04:27] That's all. Good night. I learned something new about the "ufw" firewall tonight. Thanks! [04:27] bismay, could you paste the results into pastebin.com?

[05:10] Unity is terrible [05:10] <_Chenua> Sketchbag:I think so. [05:10] sketchbag yeah you have much reason [05:11] Sketchbag: I gotta agree... for the most part. I personally don't like the lack of right click options available by default. [05:11] lol [05:12] It's nice to see that others share the same concerns as I do [05:12] My server is not a tablet....don't make it look like one [05:12] <`blackmk4> solution: osx as your desktop os, cli linux as your server [05:13] It's a neat idea, and I think it would be great for a tablet interface, but for a workstation or server, I need a desktop like classic gnome , 2.32 [05:13] <`blackmk4> how do i add a service to the default run on boot services? [05:13] I agree [05:13] or XFCE, or LXDE [05:13] what are you running on a server you need a gui for [05:14] just ssh and edit some text files [05:14] It's a home server i need gui for gf ....she checks her facebook on it lol [05:14] ok [05:14] can you at least tell me why did the package zaptel disappear from ubuntu?

I think I have the server (i.e. the one with the scanner attached) configured correctly... but on the remote when I run "scanimage -L" It doesn't list the remote scanner.... what am I doing wrong? [05:18] I've been wanting to order an Asus W500 table PC, and reload it with Ubuntu 11.04. [05:18] I've been reading some cool articles lately, and it seems there are very few bugs with it. [05:19] At the same time though, I'm thinking about just waiting until the 12.04-LTS is released and do it then. [05:19] I don't care what i buy ....I get it cuz it's good then figure out the problems later [05:19] 10.04 is stable on almost anything decently aged [05:20] I'd love to run 10.04 on the W500, but it's very new tech. [05:20] it's running a Nvidia Tegra 2 [05:20] Nice [05:20] i have that on my tab [05:20] yeah, supports multitouch [05:20] hhhhhhhh [05:20] I would suggest something a little more powerfull [05:21] lol [05:21] this one is a dual core 1.8Ghz or some such. it's fast. It's built for running Windows 7 home premium. [05:21] buhmar ass [05:21] that's why I want it so I can reload it with Ubunti [05:21] The iconia can run starcraft 2......but it has pretty crappy battery life [05:22] err, Ubuntu... heh [05:22] Hmm [05:22] that's another one I looked at [05:22] infact, I think it was the Iconia W500... [05:22] yea i've always been in favor of amd [05:22] is that Acer? [05:22] yea [05:22] same here really [05:22] Have you checked out the Zotac Mag? [05:22] They have a model built on AMD [05:23] lol last time I checked zotac was when they had those tiny set top boxes [05:23] it's using integrated low noise hardware, and running Ubuntu flawlessly from what i've been reading [05:23] It was the same as my asus eee 901 so i didnt bother [05:23] they do [05:23] they've improved with the latest models. [05:23] ah [05:24] Yea I wanted to test xbc on it === kassius is now known as mercvrivs [05:24] Hmm... How is that Asus Eee 901? [05:24] :) [05:24] I'll bet it rocks! [05:24] the battery lasted a year or two... [05:24] now its garbage [05:24] so i bought a tab [05:25] right on [05:25] it was only 400 [05:25] my 701's battery still works perfect, you must not cycle your battery properly [05:25] Android based? [05:25] I got my new laptop and gave my eee to my gf [05:25] I constatly remind her about battery cycling but she never listened and burnt out the batt in less than 3 weeks [05:26] It was brutal [05:26] Shes not allowed to touch this one [05:26] I've been reading that the hardware made for Android is having a lot of trouble with Ubuntu converts. [05:26] yea I wanted to try it but my tab is still fairly new [05:26] Can we move back in the direction of Ubuntu technical support, please :) [05:27] Ubuntu is made for x86, other ports are not really supported, you want debian for that [05:27] in a few months i want to try to put a buntu system on it [05:27] join #ubuntu-classroom === zero is now known as Guest77958 [05:27] * Tw|sT is joining #ubuntu-offtopic [05:28] <_gambler_> Was wondering how to use KDE Plasma Workspaces? When i log-on with it selected I just get a blank screen with only a pointer [05:28] thx zero [05:28] join #ubuntu-classroom [05:29] Guest77958, you need a leading / [05:29] /join #ubuntu-classroom [05:30] <_gambler> Does anyone know how to use KDE Plasma Workspaces? [05:30] _gambler, try asking in #kubuntu this channel is mostly gnome/unity [05:31] <_gambler> thank you. didn't know that [05:32] _gambler , what do you mean? [05:32] <`blackmk4> ubuntu forum requiring reg to view threads was a stupid idea [05:32] how to change your viewing style? [05:32] `blackmk4, i think its a bug/misconfiguration [05:33] <[THC]AcidRain> ive noticed that roughly every 60min exactlly my irc bot goes offline, ping timeout [05:33] <[THC]AcidRain> well.... so does my entire connection, anyone know possibly why? [05:33] I am trying to access a remote scanner... I think I have the server (i.e. the one with the scanner attached) configured correctly... but on the remote when I run "scanimage -L" It doesn't list the remote scanner.... what am I doing wrong? [05:36] I would really like to know why my laptop runs so hot on ubuntu 10.04 lts gateway NV5942U i3 ati chipset [05:37] Sketchbag, you should be able to throttle the cpu when its not in use, look into cpufreq program or similiar === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [05:37] <[THC]AcidRain> noone is here to hear your crys for helps [05:39] :) [05:40] <[THC]AcidRain> lol [05:42] [THC]AcidRain, check you system logs for something more specific. Your question was too general and dosent really point to anything [05:43] hello ,every one . [05:44] pfifo: I got cpufreq , however after installing the program and the daemon ..nothing happens .. i should point out that I'am using a 64 bit system [05:45] I launched the daemon from term using sudo and nothing happened [05:45] without any error message is this normal? [05:46] Sketchbag, That is the normal behavior for a daemon, `ps aux` should show it running [05:46] Hey everyone, I am using the most updated verison of ubuntu. My drivers are updated for nvidia gt240. But I recieve a large amount of tearing while watching video and sometimes in menus. I attempted following many guides online but none worked. I have duel screens and have twinview enabled. Any ideas? [05:47] usually daemons post a icon in the status bar [05:47] Darkn3ss, have you tried the nomodeset boot option? [05:48] yes. when i installed ubuntu i did. But everything works fine just this really annoying tearing during every video i watch. And even some web pages. [05:49] I also dont receive such tearing on my second monitor which is smaller. [05:50] Darkn3ss, have you tried different nvidi driver versions? [05:51] yes. [05:51] Darkn3ss, are you using unity 3d [05:51] no [05:51] i disabled that and using classic now [05:53] l4ngit [05:53] <`blackmk4> what would cause the root crontab to not run? [05:53] <`blackmk4> */10 * * * * /usr/bin/vnstati -s -i eth0 -o /var/www/vnstat.png [05:53] Darkn3ss, have you tried disabling desktop effects? [05:53] <`blackmk4> this worked before reboot [05:53] <`blackmk4> if i run it manually it works [05:53] yes pfifo [05:54] Darkn3ss, does it happen in windows? [05:54] no [05:54] Darkn3ss, does it happen in xfce? [05:54] or kde [05:55] i did not check that [05:55] I started a process with a shell script (namely ./GmoteServer.sh). Then I ctrl-C'd it. Then I tried starting it again, and it said another instance is still running. How do I stop that instance? [05:55] `blackmk4, root will have mail with the output of any commands [05:55] <`blackmk4> ah thanks === Tw|sT is now known as Tw|sT[Zzz] [05:56] Darkn3ss, I cant really think of a cause for this. Is there anything at all that gets rid of it, even temporarily? [05:56] no. [05:58] Darkn3ss, you can try upgrading to alpha and see if its any better [05:59] <_gambler> does anyone have any opinion on kde or gnome [06:00] _gambler, Ill regift mine ;-) [06:00] So If I want to run cpufreqd on startup should I add the arguments? [06:00] I have a -f force [06:00] _gambler, you can install both and they both do the same thing [06:00] _gambler, are your widgets working fine? [06:00] Hi, I am trying to deactivate one of my network cards (the wifi card builtin my laptop) for good. Now Ihave to dectivate it manually each time [06:01] I need help with this issue [06:01] mark@tesla:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugnometeam/gnome3 [06:01] [sudo] password for mark: [06:01] Error: can't find signing_key_fingerprint at https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~ubuntugnometeam/+archive/gnome3 [06:01] mark@tesla:~$ [06:01] any hint ? [06:01] anyone got any ideas on how to fix it [06:01] rooted-insideme_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:01] ok I will use paste bin [06:01] hey. i have an issue. a friend of mine's ubuntu was working fine suddenly after restart, screen didnt came up. i changed the xorg.conf to another driver like vesa and now when gdm starts and after login, everything rotates and texts are vice versa [06:01] any idea? [06:01] Sketchbag, test different setups out and see what works for you ;) [06:02] bodinux, blacklist the kernel module [06:02] could someone help me with this problem please http://paste.ubuntu.com/641673/ [06:02] pfifo, how to find the correct module ? [06:03] bodinux, the program `lsmod` [06:03] <`blackmk4> rename -v -n 's/\.nzb$/\ /' *.nzb [06:03] <`blackmk4> how would i make it nothing instead of the blank space? [06:04] rooted-insideme_, gnome3 is not supported, and im pretty sure that ppa is no longer active either [06:04] pfifo: damn, so there's no way to install gnome3? [06:04] rooted-insideme_, jbuild of course [06:05] jhbuild [06:05] is kde4 supported? [06:05] pls tell me this, that if i update BT5 to ubuntu 10.10 desktop, does everything works fine..!!! [06:06] codingenesis_, you cant sidegrade likethat, only a reinstall will work [06:06] pfifo, i installed bt5 than update to ubuntu desktop 10.04 [06:06] codingenesis_: No. This channel does not support Backtrack, nor is "updating" from Backtrack to Ubuntu supported. [06:07] till now everything works fine..!! [06:07] halp! Installed Compiz and 11.04 messed up [06:07] Jordan_U, ok i understand but love ubuntu don't want to leave it !! :( [06:07] dont have the up bar neither any other bar to navigate [06:07] pfifo: since gnome3 doesn't work could I install the latest gnome2? [06:07] codingenesis_, you can dual boot [06:08] codingenesis_: Then why not just install Ubuntu? [06:08] rooted-insideme_, ubuntu already includes gnome2, im not 100% sure about the latests but its not too far out of date [06:08] anyone know how to launch the compiz config with terminal? [06:09] Jordan_U, i have made a website as a result i have to check it using BT [06:09] and how to launch terminal with no bar [06:09] pfifo how come I don't have the option to load gnome2 then? [06:09] there was a project and i made a website [06:09] !classic | rooted-insideme_ [06:09] rooted-insideme_: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [06:10] yeah I was just going to ask that [06:10] so i tried out compiz today for the accessibility features. and noticed that with it enabled, the system bell did not work. so i turned it off. now, i can not even change the bell (choose alert sound) used in gnome-volume-control. any ideas how to fix this? [06:10] well I guess I could install kde4 [06:11] I unchecked the Ubuntu Unity from the Compiz config and all messed up, help please [06:11] Guest98143: you can reset the defaults in ccsm [06:11] gohdan: can you help me out please? [06:12] gohdan: got no navigation bars [06:12] Guest98143: i dont use natty so i can only help so much [06:13] gohdan: do you think on safe mode I would be able to get back to defaults? [06:13] Guest98143: you can try loggin out and then select gnome classic or something in gdm. use that to boot a unity/compiz free desktop and reset the defaults in ccsm [06:13] gohdan: thanks! [06:14] gonna try it out [06:14] anyone know where the gnome-volume-control stores its conf file for preferences? [06:15] g0t, 17WAAQ1TT, 31NAAPMHD: I think perhaps three IRC clients in the same room is a /bit/ excessive :) === Timic_ is now known as Timic === gpc is now known as IdleOne [06:16] g0t_: four is bordering on problematic. [06:16] Hey guys, after 2 years of owning my laptop, I just realized that the wifi adapter onboard is supported in Linux as well as Aircrack-ng. My laptop currently runs a 64 bit OS (has 4 gb ram) should I go with 32 bit Ubuntu, or 64 bit, or does it really not matter? [06:17] hey pfifo how can I remove invalid ppa's from my apt-get [06:17] rooted-insideme_: sources.list [06:17] riz0n, if you intend to use custom drivers for aircrack 32bit may be your only option [06:18] pfifo: thanks for the advice, from my reading online the native drivers should work. [06:18] rooted-insideme_, you want to uninstallthe packages with ppa-purge [06:18] Pricey: ok [06:18] riz0n, i would try both, aircrack can be picky [06:19] riz0n: it is a choice of hardware functionality over package compatibility. a lot of things dont run so well (or at all) in 64 [06:19] Thanks, its an Intel 512AN (Wifi Link 5100) [06:19] It would be nice if it worked, the last time I tried Linux (from the CD) I got NO functionality out of the card at all. [06:21] riz0n: which distro did you try last time and how long ago? [06:21] how do I get apt-get update to stopp checking the links in http://paste.ubuntu.com/641680/ [06:21] its been probably a couple of years [06:21] when I bought the laptop [06:22] rooted-insideme_: find their entries in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and delete them. [06:22] and it was whatever the latest version of Ubuntu was at the time. I am guessing version 9 [06:22] rooted-insideme_, edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and remove or comment out the corresponding lines [06:22] riz0n: there have been vast improvements within that time frame. [06:23] good deal [06:24] In Synaptic, how do I tell which repository a given package is from? [06:24] riz0n: as with most new hardware, there is a bit of a lag before it operates smoothly on *nix or *bsd. unless it is a particularly popular piece of hardware where someone will hack something up asap [06:24] rww: I can just remove the whole ubuntugnometeam-gnome3-natty.list correct/ [06:25] rooted-insideme_: yes [06:25] cool ty guys for all the help [06:25] How do we make recommendations for package updates for 11.10? [06:25] Yeah I understand. If I recall correctly, it detected the adapter, but the adapter never did actually work. I'll go to Ubuntu site and download latest distro, make a USB installer, and give it a try. [06:25] squinky86: contact the package maintainer [06:26] squinky86, get on launchpad and talk to the person/people who maintain the package [06:26] which looks like 11.04 ;) [06:27] gohdan, pfifo: maintainer is listed as "Ubuntu Core Developers." Should I join the mailing list and email them, or ask a question to them via launchpad? [06:28] squinky86: possibly. what is the pkg? [06:28] gohdan: gutenprint. 5.2.7 is out, and supports a lot more canon printers (which I've upgraded to in my office). [06:29] yiiikes ubuntu download is sllooowwwww === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest42233 [06:29] grab it off torrents [06:29] squinky86, that is likely coming from upstream, find a good ppa [06:30] pfifo: Upstream does not release distribution packages. What does ppa mean? Does this refer to upstream Debian development? [06:30] !tell squinky86 about ppa [06:30] squinky86, please see my private message [06:31] squinky86: it appears that gutenprint is synced from Debian. Debian does not yet have 5.2.7, thus we don't. [06:31] squinky86, I mean that ubuntu is probably just copying debian's package. A more up-to-date may need to come from a 3rd party [06:31] s/synced/merged/ [06:32] bbl [06:34] under what circumstances does a pkg fall under the maintenance of the 'core developers' team? [06:34] gohdan: all packages in the 'main' and 'restricted' repositories are maintained by the coredevs, I believe [06:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess details the main inclusion process [06:35] rww: just opened that page as a matter of fact [06:36] but yeah, as I said, gutenprint's being pulled from Debian, so you'd need to poke Debian to update their copy of gutenprint in sid and then get it pulled into Ubuntu. the Ubuntu devs are generally very reluctant to switch to making their own packages without a good reason [06:37] hey guys... [06:37] just after a little bit of help... I'm definately not experianced with ubuntu lol [06:38] Hello. On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I'm trying to create a letter using OpenOffice's "Mail Merge Wizard". I chose "Use current document", "Letter", "Select Address List ...", "Add ...", and selected an .ods file I had just created. Now I can't proceed because the "OK" button is gray. What to do next? [06:38] does anyone know of a good place to download a live cd for CentOs [06:38] madmn: ask #centos, that's offtopic for here [06:38] I accidently locked all my music to my lower panel and I want to do a mass unlock as otherwise i would have to manually unlock 4000+ songs... f that [06:39] legally purchased songs? [06:39] is ubuntu the best for beginners [06:40] madmn, here are a few links in this linkhttp://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-April/017282.html === cypha`` is now known as cypha [06:40] legally purchased... though i dont understand why you would even ask that as it has nothing to do with the issue [06:40] madmn: depends what the beginner is looking for. i cut my teeth on caldera openlinux. it was... rather unfriendly. [06:41] i am looking for something user friendly [06:41] and graphical [06:41] that maybe i can setup ftp server and email server [06:41] madmn, any linux is ok for beginners, ubuntu has beginner oriented help which can be useful. [06:41] then yes, ubuntu is good for beginners... it has a very large community [06:42] do you know if ubunut is friendly on a wireless connection [06:42] yes it is... easy to setup wireless [06:43] i want to setup a irc server with ubuntu [06:43] can anyone help with my issue or am I pretty well screwed with the whole unlocking thing? [06:43] pfifo, Selva , a lot of people gripe about canonicals contributions. but because of the large untechnical userbase ubuntu has, i found out that they contribute what is most lacking in the landscape. easy to read documentation. even if it is just a byproduct of the users [06:43] what are you trying to unlock [06:44] Selva, this chat room is not very active at the moment, you may have better luck in 8-12 hours === Taftse is now known as Taftse|Train [06:44] hi, im looking for an application to easily share files via the internet (e.g. i select the file or folder i want to share) and get a link with it , however i dont want to use an http server with directory listing, im more looking for a webapp. is there something like that? [06:44] ktwo, use samba [06:45] its pretty easy to share files with [06:45] via the internet? im already using samba internally, i dont want to open up security holes or something [06:45] madmn: Ubuntu is fine for _users_ and works well with wireless, but to configure an email, irc or ftp server you might need some command line knowledge. [06:45] samba lets you share what you want [06:46] ktwo: there is no security. only delay. try a cyberlocker or something [06:46] it is pretty secure ktwo [06:47] hi [06:47] yes but if i open the samba ports there would be possibly a method to access other samba folders i dont want to be public.. sounds quite unsafe to be honest i dont know.. i was rather looking for something like http://myserver/files/Filetoken etc [06:47] I am facing problem with v4l2 can anybody help me.?

I am trying to get ethernet working on Ubuntu 10.0.4 with i3 2100, but not able to [06:49] ubottu I want to know is it possible to zooming and scaling using video4linux2.? [06:49] where can I find the drivers for the same? [06:49] syclopse: ubottu is a bot [06:49] or will I have to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04? [06:50] I want to know is it possible to zooming and scaling using video4linux2.? [06:50] is sed and awk still popular or do people just use small ruby and python scripts for small text processing tasks? [06:51] neology: you can try upgrading just the kernel not the entire install. best wait for someone else to help you other than me or search for which (if any) kernel supports your hardware [06:51] maybe i'm making too many assumptions though [06:51] syclopse: FloodBot1 is not sentient, and PMing people without permission is a bit rude. [06:51] syclopse, thats not what v4l does, the software would have to support scaling/rotation. Unless the hardware itself has some sort of option for that, in which case, it may be able to take advantage of hardware scale/rotate [06:52] gohdan: thanks.. I tried searching a lot for the same. I came across following thread that recommends upgrading to 11.04 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10826110 [06:52] Platz, I would die without sed [06:53] I am new in this field so can u plz tell me how can I check whether my hardware supports zooming and scaling using video4linux2 [06:53] pfifo: heh, thanks. maybe i'll take the time to study it then. [06:53] i tried install compact-wireless, mad wifi.. didnt work [06:53] neology: what does 'lspci | grep Ethernet' say? [06:53] syclopse, read the documentation for the driver your using [06:54] or do wireless chips have something different to grep for? [06:54] gohdan: Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1503 (rev 05) [06:54] I am using video4linux2. [06:55] syclopse, I think this may be an ABC problem, what is it your trying to accomplish [06:56] my device is not supporting zooming and scaling so any option you suggest me to implement this functionality [06:57] syclopse, can you give more details? [06:57] !details [06:57] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:58] syclopse: try the tool provided by your card manufacturer in the configuration utility if one exists. compiz may also support some of the features you are looking for [06:59] I am having logitech c920 webcam and I am able to stream the video but I am want the zooming and scaling functionality so how can I perform that.? [06:59] syclopse, use a different program to stream the video [07:00] even wireless is not working [07:00] i am using luvcview can u please suggest better option than this./ [07:01] syclopse, im pretty sure VLC suports scaling and rotation [07:01] ! gimpshop | airon90 [07:01] airon90, please see my private message [07:03] neology: does ifconfig show anything other than loopback? === kyon is now known as tastelikenyan [07:06] but than I am not able to stream using vlc [07:06] that's why [07:06] I have tried the VLC but not get success [07:08] i need a free php app like http://www.hesk.com/demo/ but with more options, like time to complete allowed and time completed in . some bar graphs of time management and some more features. and ideas ?

I dont know exactly what your trying todo so cant really recommend a package. [07:09] syclopse: if a zoom or rotate is need, tell the viewer to scale it or turn their monitor sideways [07:10] bogdaniel: that's just a warning, your server is at http://localhost [07:10] also, compiz supports a laege set of display manipulation tools such as scale and rotate.

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [08:25] bazhang whereas guidedog is for port forwarding [08:26] Is there anybody here who can help me with some USB problems, naming the cdc_acm driver? [08:26] K-4U, naming? you mean modprobing it, or what [08:26] bazhang: i mean i have issuse with the cdc_acm module [08:26] bazhang: *issues.. sorry [08:26] djcaston: what distro u using?

Replugging doesn't work, reloading usb modules doesn't work.. the only thing that works is rebooting my pc [08:28] K-4U, whats the device name and function please [08:28] bazhang: it's the IR Toy, for lirc, don't know if you've ever heard of it? [08:29] djcaston: http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-10.10/ubuntu-universe-i386/guidedog_1.0.0-5ubuntu2_i386.deb.html [08:29] will give you the port forward tabs etc that you need [08:29] http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1545 <--- K-4U this? [08:30] thanks cursingeye [08:30] bazhang: no, i can connect to it, but my device uses the cdc_acm drivers, and not the usb-serial.. so i have a /dev/ttyACM0 [08:31] furqan: you can try formatting it manually with parted (not gparted) from the command line. you'll get more control that way [08:31] cursingeye, that does not seem to be there for natty , ie guidedog [08:32] !info guidedog [08:32] Package guidedog does not exist in natty [08:32] blehhh [08:33] this is really proving to be aggrivating === GNUdog is now known as Kim_Il-sung [08:34] hi guys when I try to run an application using opengl I get this errors : libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate [08:34] libEGL fatal: DRI2: did not find extension DRI_SWRast version 2 [08:34] Segmentation fault [08:34] any idea??

[08:39] Alchemist88, ask a question first and see [08:40] the only thing i don't trust about the project is that it was started by someone who is part of the united states department of homeland security [08:41] I have a HP Mini 210-1000, had the netbook version of ubuntu, was installing the new beta version and an error occured. Now I have no programmes on my netbook. [08:41] Alchemist88, beta version? [08:41] Any more game linke alien arena and nexuiz in ubuntu? [08:41] Alchemist88, there is not a beta version currently [08:41] 11.04 [08:41] Alchemist88, thats final, not beta [08:42] ah sorry, the final 11.04 then [08:43] i didn't do anything to get rid of my clock, i just can't find it - help? [08:43] Alchemist88, what was the error message or messages you received [08:44] ... [08:44] On the update manager while I was installing the new version, it simply said 'an error has occoured while installing' [08:45] Is ubuntu providing urban terror game? [08:45] Alchemist88, from cd? usb stick? did you md5 the iso? what did you use to install said iso to cd or usb stick, did you do the disk integrity check after md5'ing the iso [08:45] Chipzzz: i have exactly this type of error http://superuser.com/questions/32825/partition-table-corrupted-usb-flash-drive [08:45] I already had Ubuntu installed [08:46] so was updating, rather than installing from CD/ USB ect [08:46] do I need something to support EFI/GPT partitions(the bigger then 2 TB) on lucid? [08:47] jiltdil, directly from main repos? not to my knowledge, you can look for PPA of it though [08:48] bazhang:thanks [08:48] bazhang:is using ppa for this game is safe? [08:48] jiltdil, up to you to decide, PPA are at your own risk. [08:50] furqan: if you used fdisk to partition it and then "parted mkfs" to make a file system on it, I don't think there is much else you can try [08:50] Alchemist88, so this was in fact a version upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. a good idea to mention that for future posts. [08:50] antivirtel: no not that i would know of, just make sure you create a gpt partition map on the disk and use parted/gparted for creating partitions [08:51] baz, yes it was a version upgrade [08:51] ok, thanks mgolisch, I successfully created it, but I saw here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html that I have to recompie the kernel.. but it is out-of-date information :) [08:52] Alchemist88, you said you have no more programmes on your netbook, please clarify that [08:53] fixed, thanks guys [08:53] Chipzzz: okay :| === denny- is now known as denny [08:55] Ok, so when I turn my netbook on, it loads as normal, with background picture as normal, wireless connects. everything is fine. But there are 0 programmes, there is no menu bar on the left, I cannot bring up anything, no files, folders, prgrammes. [08:55] Alchemist88, okay. try alt ctrl t to get a terminal [08:56] yep that works [08:56] Is game drift linux is not free? [08:56] Alchemist88, once you have that sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade [08:56] jiltdil, its not supported here, ask their forums [08:57] jiltdil: GDL is a commercial distribution. It includes CrossOver Games which is the technology used to run Windows games. That's why it's not free. Ask in PMSG if you have more questions :) [08:57] sorry bazhang, what do i type into the terminal?

[10:13] Will123: i was looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [10:13] iceroot, well i did it using alternate ubuntu installer [10:14] a|3x: i am trying the step in an already running system [10:14] markskilbeck: touchfreeze is supposed to do that. Or synclient can usually be used to turn the touchpad on and off or adjust certain values [10:15] gohdan: if you're running a recent version of ubuntu, the article you were looking at is out of date [10:15] So, what the heck is with the floodbots this morning? [10:15] a|3x: try sudo dpkg --configure -a ,but i am not sure [10:15] gohdan: we're using grub 2 now [10:15] does anyone know how can I change the name of a partition from /dev/sda8 to /dev/sda5 in the partition table? [10:15] markskilbeck: Perhaps google for xorg.conf Input Section and/or synaptics [10:16] th0r, soreau: cheers. [10:16] simgunz: you cant [10:16] mgolisch, so I have to delete and recreate the partitons, right? [10:17] !netsplit [10:17] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [10:18] iceroot, hwq001, oh never mind, apparently my /boot ran out of space, when are they going to fix default /boot partition size?!! [10:18] a|3x: there is no reason to do that [10:18] theres a /boot/ default? [10:18] a|3x: but 11.04 is not using /boot as extra partitoon anymore [10:18] Ah, that explains it.. [10:18] no reason! how about failing updates [10:18] simgunz: yeah [10:18] safe to just comment out 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ' from /etc/default/grub? [10:19] a|3x: how about removing unsed kernels [10:19] simgunz rightclick properties [10:19] given that making a /boot/ partition is not the default.. [10:19] simgunz: Since the nodes in /dev/ represent physical hardware devices, you would probably have to move the partition or repartition altogether [10:19] Dr_Willis: but it was some times ago [10:19] gohdan, i do that all the time. or use 'noquiet nosplash' [10:19] i am a dumb user, i don't know anything about any removal of old kernels [10:19] iceroot, I dont recall it ever being part of the standard install of ubuntu. [10:19] Dr_Willis: 8.04 [10:19] iceroot, i dont recall it doing that. [10:19] gohdan: yes, and run update-grub afterward [10:20] sumgunz use gparted when creating partion or format partion there you can label partion [10:20] Can you perform a system resore from the terminal? [10:20] Ok I followed the instructions in the Sound Troubleshooting wiki. My built-in sound card is being detected just fine. My volume settings are normal. I even tried the step where I purge all my sound packages and re-install them. Still no sound. And all I did was upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 and now there is no sound. [10:20] Dr_Willis: now its only creating / instead of / /boot /home :( [10:20] If i set up a /boot/ partition - i keep a few GB in size these days. abnd keep ISO files there i can boot via grub2 - for 'emergancy' rescue features. [10:20] Ie I want to go back a few days [10:21] hw do in stall my sql in ubuntu as im new to ubuntu [10:21] Dr_Willis: wasn't there a time when you couldn't boot from ext4, so there had to be a seperate /boot partition if you wanted ext4 for /? [10:21] ! sql | psyche [10:21] psyche: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mysql-server [10:21] Will123: grub1 cant boot ext4 [10:21] iceroot, how are you going to boot and initialize your software raid and full disk encryption without a boot partition? === Robert_ is now known as Guest78459 [10:21] thanks guys [10:21] ! mysql | psyche [10:21] psyche: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [10:21] Will123, i dont recall. only reason i recall a need for /boot/ was the old LILO 1024 Cyl Limit. [10:21] i shall try thanks again @ soreau @ iceroot [10:22] * gohdan reboots [10:22] a|3x: that is the point i am asking myself at the moment [10:22] @ ubottue im specfic in only havin mysql as my application will be configured to that [10:22] a|3x: i was very surprised ubuntu didnt create /boot [10:23] a|3x: as it seems i will reinstall and use the alternate-cd instead of fighting with this fresh instalation [10:23] anyone? is it possible to perform a system restore from the terminal? [10:23] Alchemist88: what is a system-restore? [10:24] bbl off to work. [10:24] Alchemist88: Really, I dont think ubuntu supports going back a few days [10:24] :p [10:24] yes, but you get what I mean? [10:25] system restore is used in windows its very usefull but i dont know how to do that in linux [10:25] Alchemist88, I believe Sys. Restore is a windows thing; not available in ubuntu; other than having a back-up of your /home directory and copying it back, so to speak. [10:25] !tell Alchemist88 about backups [10:25] Alchemist88, please see my private message [10:25] Alchemist88: What did you do that you want to undo? [10:25] Alchemist88: ah, you can have snapshots on some filesystems [10:25] Alchemist88: there are moves to create system restore like functionality in future, but not right now [10:25] Alchemist88: but if i am correct ext2,3,4 doesnt support it [10:26] *bump* - Sound not working issue. I followed the instructions in the Sound Troubleshooting wiki. My built-in sound card is being detected just fine. My volume settings are normal. I even tried the step where I purge all my sound packages and re-install them. Still no sound. And all I did was upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 and now there is no sound. [10:26] Im talking about my netbook, I had an older version of ubuntu, then updated to 11.04. and now I have no menu or able to select programmes. [10:26] g[r]eek: What does alsamixer show you? [10:27] soreau, normal output (a couple of bar charts, Master on maximum volume) [10:27] I tryed updating and upgrading via the terminal and It stil says there is an error [10:27] Alchemist88: so you have now a different gui? [10:27] gui? [10:27] Can I boot an intel iMac without os x using the alternate 64-bit image for the intel mac?

[10:28] Alchemist88, I know nothing about Netbook but you can boot into Classic in 11.04... === therealjrib is now known as jrib [10:28] Alchemist88: are you getting to the gdm login menu, or not even that far? [10:28] soreau, lsmod | grep snd gives me quite a few lines, and yeah, the last one is snd_hda_inteal [10:28] hi!

[10:37] anyone in here ? [10:38] SpiderFred: vnstat might do what you want [10:38] How can I figure out what a package does when it's being installed? [10:40] sgronblo: read debian/ in the source package? Or read the files for the package in /var/lib/dpkg/info/? [10:42] It seems to me (from subversion's configure options that the ruby bindings should be installed in ruby's sitedir). I installed libsvn-ruby1.8 with apt-get checked in my /usr/local/lib/site_ruby but nothing was there. Instead apt-file reports the bindings being installed in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/svn [10:43] sgronblo: /usr/local/ is admin land and not apt land. APT should never touch /usr/local [10:44] from where i 4get themes for ubuntu 11.0 [10:44] jrib: Thanks for teaching me about /var/lib/dpkg/info, hadn't seen this before [10:45] so basically the deb explodes the files listed in dpkg/info/pkgname/list onto the filesystem and then runs postinst? [10:45] sgronblo: I'm not very familiar with ruby but are you sure site_dir is only /usr/local/lib/site_ruby ? My guess is it's multiple paths [10:46] Hello. I just installed ubuntu and lxde, and the wifi just doesn't work on lxde. Any idea why ? ty [10:47] sgronblo: there's also preinst [10:47] sometimes [10:47] jrib: yeah i assume there are other hooks too === kodapa_ is now known as kodapa [10:47] but the deb system seems relatively simple [10:47] jrib: I'm not 100% sure about the sitedir, but quite sure. The configure --help describes it as "--with-sitedir=DIR site libraries in DIR [[RUBY_LIB_PREFIX/site_ruby]]" [10:48] what does this mean in terminal" gaurav@Crack-Linux:~$ [10:48] What is the preferred GNOME 2 way in Natty to invoke gnome-power-statistics? [10:48] sgronblo: might try the ruby channel? (though they might say it's an ubuntu packaging issue) [10:48] I just installed ubuntu and lxde, and the wifi just doesn't work on lxde. Anyone know anything about that please ? [10:49] hello All [10:49] Also running ruby's interpreter and importing rubygems and executing print Config::CONFIG['sitedir'] shows /usr/local/lib/site_ruby [10:49] sgronblo: that seems strange to me if ruby is the ubuntu packaged ruby [10:49] jrib: That's why I decided to check here. Because subversion's INSTALL file seems to imply that its bindings for ruby should go in its sitedir [10:50] jrib: It is the system ruby [10:51] poil: is network manager running? [10:53] So I was wondering if the apt-get libsvnruby package had gone and installed it in some other directory that it felt was more appropriate. [10:57] hi all! [10:57] zeusz, hello :) [10:58] ha nem működik a frissítéskezelő [10:58] can anyone tell me from where i can find themes for ubuntu 11.04 [10:58] sorry i'm having connection problems [10:58] hogy lehet frissíteni? [10:59] poil: is network manager running? - What is exactly "network manager" ? I've seen a Network Tools here, but nothing interesting [10:59] zeusz i am using mint 11 [10:59] <[Joose]> When I use the command 'nxj', it works. However, I need to run 'sudo nxj' and when I do that I get an error 'sudo: nxj: command not found'. What's wrong? [10:59] o sorry!

[11:06] rofl [11:06] yet another mircosoft solution [11:06] what's the point of upgrades if they don't work? =P [11:07] newgen: No, it's not a 'mircosoft solution' [11:07] newgen: what errors you get? [11:07] soreau: reinstall is a microsoft-solution [11:07] iceroot: No, it is not. [11:07] grub can't find the filesystem. I am supposed to give him the richt "root=" parameter [11:07] A microsoft solution would be to use windows [11:08] newgen: you have a full encrypted / with luks? [11:08] why has my ubuntu update fucked up my grub configuration? i never allowed him todo so? [11:08] of cource [11:08] Hi, I have problems with dual boot. Just installed ubuntu along with windows XP and now nothing loads. [11:08] newgen: can you paste the grub-line which is needed for boot [11:08] no, i cant [11:09] newgen: why? [11:09] this very cool ubuntu producec just a black screen, even in recovery mode [11:09] newgen: pull grub with shift. then go to the line you want and hit "e" then you have the line [11:09] ! language | newgen [11:09] newgen: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [11:09] newgen: and if you still flame ubuntu, i dont htink you will get support here [11:10] newgen: Are you able to boot a ubuntu live cd? [11:11] I already booted the live cd. but it was unable to recover some broke files until i followed this solution_: http://mrzard.posterous.com/failed-to-connect-to-socket-comubuntuupstart [11:11] newgen: Which version of ubuntu did you boot live? [11:11] 10.04 lts [11:11] with rescue filessystem mode [11:12] And what version are you trying to update to? [11:12] newgen: can you paste the grub-line which is needed for boot [11:12] no, because the update completely removed my menu.cfg / grub.cfg [11:13] newgen: boot a live-cd, chroot into the current system and run "sudo update-grub" [11:13] i am currenty re-generating it === Guest42233 is now known as arrrcanum42 [11:13] newgen: remeber for the live-cd you need the same architectur as the installed system [11:14] btw. sorry for my emotional response. i was just planning todo somthing else than repairing a broken linux again [11:14] wait [11:14] newgen: remeber always "never touch a running system" [11:14] by same architecture you mean... for example: x86 ? [11:14] newgen: yes [11:15] newgen: run the live-cd, mount / and then use "chroot /path/where/you/mounted/it then run sudo update-grub [11:15] iceroot, i would never have touched it. but the stupid auto-reminder which steadily pops up forced me to... [11:16] It doesn't force you to do anything [11:17] when a window pops up all the time, i feel forced. next time i will search a way to disable the "update" window [11:17] i think you can turn it off in the options [11:17] newgen: you can set "dont to dist-upgrade" "only upgrade to next lts version" [11:17] newgen: or "do nothing" [11:17] I wonder if turning off the popup is harder than doing a dist-upgrade? [11:18] th0r: yes because you have to find that option instead of just clicking yes [11:18] well... that would leave me with horribly old packages, wouldn't it? [11:18] newgen: Case in point, upgrades are typically problematic which is why I always suggest a clean install [11:18] newgen: with stable packages from 10.04 [11:18] newgen: but older then the packages from 11.10 or 11.04 yes [11:19] th0r: heh [11:19] I am running wubi - on Windows 7 (32bit) - but have noticed that the file being downloaded is AMD64 - Will it still work on my 32 bit or should I cancel the download? [11:19] ok. grup update done. one question: on boot up, i get in grub the kernel for selection and "previous versions". why is that? [11:20] newgen does it boot [11:20] ...waitin... [11:20] did you upgrade from 10..04 to 11.04? [11:20] ... black screen... cursor blinking... [11:21] hagus, 32 bit will run on 64, but not the other way around. [11:21] no, it does not boot [11:21] not message at all [11:21] Thanks, Sidewinder1 - so there is not point in my continuing with that download. [11:21] sounds about right. try a clean install [11:21] hagus, Correct. [11:22] hi [11:22] im having touble getting to the grub menu over serial console [11:23] i've bee playing around with the setting in /etc/default/grub [11:23] but it doesn't seem to change anything [11:23] newgen: is the luks-modul loaded? [11:23] MichaelMell: that sort of thing is normally set in the bios [11:23] iceroot, cannot see. monitor is black [11:23] keyboard is not responding [11:24] lots of people seem to have that problem [11:24] newgen: but does something come up after grub before the black screen? so we can be sure grub is reading correctly the encrpyted discs [11:24] no, nothing at all [11:24] no points loading any init levels [11:24] or loading kernel [11:24] nothing [11:24] newgen: please paste the grub-line [11:25] moment [11:25] newgen, is it definately booting the new kernel? [11:25] hm. [11:25] well. I do get the bios and everything on the console [11:25] I just don't get the grub menu to show up [11:25] has the nvidia driver issue reached a conclusion on natty? [11:25] MichaelMell: sorry, I mean that sort of setting is normally set in the bios, [11:26] ok, i can select the kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae.... typing grub line... [11:26] hey guys, how do i rotate my 2nd screen by 180 degrees? [11:26] well I've set the bios to show in the virtual console [11:26] newgen: you updates to 11.04? [11:26] and it does [11:26] Cube``, use xrandr [11:26] newgen, custom kernel? [11:26] iceroot, yes [11:26] also the boot-process is shown [11:26] sudokill, no [11:26] but only thing that doesn't show is GRUB [11:26] MichaelMell: yes, I understand that, that does not mean that the console is output to the serial port [11:27] newgen: 10.04 - 10.10 - 11.04? [11:27] and I can't access it either holding "SHIFT" [11:27] I made a link to Kate (editor) on my toolbar. Opened Kate & tweaked it. With R-mouse or Menu a not-configurated Kate opens ? [11:27] Suddenly I have 3 different configurations/Kate's ? How can I force the 2 other links to synchronize my tweaks/addons etc ? [11:27] I want to see everywhere the same Kate (Changing all commands to -b %U didn't work) [11:27] I have run the Wubi via console using wubi --32bit, Sidewinder1 - that has fetched the i386.iso - thanks for keeping me right. [11:27] iceroot, 10.10 -> 11.04 [11:27] ikonia: I don't understand? [11:27] newgen: and i have to run it @ every boot? [11:27] hagus, Glad to've helped. :D [11:27] newgen, can you not do a fresh install? [11:28] sudokill, why should i destroy my complete installation? my configuration files... my data... my hardware specific modifications... [11:28] because you cant boot [11:28] Is Ubuntu 10.04.X the same thing as "ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386" ? [11:28] sudokill, thats not the way to write a os [11:29] poil: yes [11:29] but ubuntu upgrades are a nightmare [11:29] newgen: that is why most of us use a separate partition for /home [11:29] ty [11:29] sudokill, i will break this system apart until it boots [11:29] okk [11:29] newgen: do you had a look at /var/log/syslog? (live-cd, mounted your installation) [11:29] iceroot, not yes [11:29] So...... back to nvda drivers 173 [11:29] iceroot, not yet [11:29] newgen: and your complete / is encrypted? [11:30] Cube``, you can put the xrandr line into a script or try to figure out, how to configure it with ubuntu board methods [11:30] iceroot, yes, except /boot. it'S work policy [11:31] newgen: and your setup is to type in a password? or do you have a key stored somehwere? [11:31] iceroot, i use a very long password [11:32] newgen: ye kk thx [11:32] newgen: also, when you are again in the chroot, please paste the ouput of "sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ^^" [11:33] newgen: also, when you are again in the chroot, please paste the ouput of "sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii" [11:33] Cube``, i would have given you my xrandr configuration, but my ubuntu is currently....broken [11:34] http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-04/msg00433.html [11:34] gcc.gnu.org bug 2010 in c++ "Internal error: Segmentation fault (version 2.97 20010207)" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] === ark is now known as Guest59007 [11:36] iceroot, ssh to broken system running live cd: PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 - frozen [11:36] so much for copy and paste [11:36] newgen: :( [11:37] newgen: already chrooted or the real live-system?

[11:41] and i found all those files on the .Trash-1000 [11:41] SambaEXT: windows doesnt see if it is ext2,3,4 or another file-system because its using the smb/cifs protocoll [11:41] codingenesis: due the explicit expression of desperation and impending doom [11:41] iceroot, ok, i ..well... used netcat to get the results for sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii [11:41] codingenesis, on my keyboard the key for screenshots is Prt Sc/Sys Rq [11:41] SambaEXT: in ubuntu you can share folders in a win-network by right-clicking them; but you have to asure the permissions are set right [11:41] cheche: You need to reinstall ntldr, using. E.g. recovery console [11:42] airtonix: off-topic, but nice [11:42] newgen: nice hack. please paste it to pastebin [11:42] thnx iceroot [11:42] arfbtwn: with testdisk right? [11:42] iceroot, http://pastebin.com/hCM2v7cy [11:43] cheche: You'll need ms recovery console, or if using windows 7 the startup recovery should do the trick for you from the install cd [11:43] arfbtwn: this is windows xp [11:43] Guys, is there anyway to hide the "member has joined #ubuntu" and "member has quit" messages? [11:43] iceroot, looks like the kernel is not properly installed? [11:43] yes [11:43] Cuzzie: Which irc client are you using [11:43] newgen: ok, everything fine with the packages. rc only means removed and still have the config [11:43] DJones: I'm using irssi [11:43] !quietirssi | Cuzzie [11:43] Cuzzie: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [11:44] Cuzzie: That info from ubottu should solve that [11:44] newgen: i dont see a line with the kernel [11:44] iceroot, rc linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae [11:44] cheche: hmmm, of all the files in the trash do you see ntldr there by any chance? [11:44] !info linux-image [11:44] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.38.8.22 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [11:44] nobody here comfortable with sqlite and/or sunbird/lightning-cal-file? [11:45] Thanks DJones and ubottu! [11:45] arfbtwn: in the old c:\ there is only autoexec.bat [11:45] newgen: sudo dpkg -l linux-image | grep ^ii [11:45] 哈囉 [11:45] 有芢嗎? [11:46] ii 2.6.38.8.22 [11:46] newgen: so the newest one is installed [11:46] iceroot, looks ok [11:46] 打中文ok??? [11:46] !cn | bully [11:46] bully: 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn /join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk [11:46] newgen: is it also located in / boot ? [11:46] newgen: is it also located in /boot ? [11:47] iceroot, yes, it is [11:47] what kind of problem can a usb stick have to make windows crash when i open it ? can ubuntu deal with it? (i was gonna install ubuntu on it from a windows) [11:47] cheche: Sounds like you'll need to do a reinstall of xp in that case. Unfortunate... [11:47] iceroot, wait... [11:47] hi, is there a image to sprite converter for the gameboy advance for ubuntu ? [11:47] iceroot, there is vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic [11:47] arfbtwn: I found this guide: http://ubuntuguide.net/fix-windows-when-boot-files-bootinintldrare-missing [11:47] poil: You're going to boot from it. Windows will not have any effect. [11:48] iceroot, and the corresponding initrd [11:48] newgen: there should be vmlinuz, initrd [11:48] newgen: ok [11:48] fleischwolf: are you hacking roms? [11:48] iceroot, all there. and the config too === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [11:48] @Bully 你進錯channel了吧? [11:48] newgen: are there any hints in the syslog of the installed system? [11:48] gohdan: well, i'm trying to implement my own game [11:49] iceroot, nothing that looks like an error... [11:49] arfbtwn: my main worry is to put all the files back to the right places within windows [11:49] gohdan: so i don't need a rom-hacker, but a tool, that converts images to c-code (data- and palette-array) [11:49] fleischwolf: usually those sprite are written or converted into whatever machine code the gba uses. some low level asm [11:49] newgen: the first error you get was "unkown filesystem"? [11:50] cheche: so are all the files in your ubuntu trash the files from your original ntfs partition? [11:50] newgen: my guess is that the ramdisc is not conatining neccesarry stuff for the luks-part [11:50] arfbtwn: I go to the ntfs partition and ctrl + h to see the .Trash-1000 [11:50] iceroot, i also thought that, but ... then i should get an error claiming "no root filesystem" [11:51] iceroot, but i get a black screen ... [11:51] arfbtwn: expunged files and info is there [11:51] arfbtwn: in files looks like the whole windows tree [11:51] fleischwolf: if such a tool exists for windows, you can always try wine but YMMV in that regard [11:51] iceroot, and i disabled splash and quiet in the grub [11:51] newgen: can you paste the grub-config with the boot-line? [11:52] arrrcanum42: I wonder if I should use restore-tras command for this [11:52] gohdan: there are lots of tools for windows, but i would like some native implementation [11:52] iceroot, http://pastebin.com/UZqxVda6 [11:52] fleischwolf, windows has more rare little programs [11:52] cheche: ok, so you should just be able to 'mv * ../' while you're in that directory [11:52] sudokill: sadly, yes [11:52] iceroot, i assume the uuid is fucked up once again... (dreaming of nostalgic old times when people had /dev devices...) [11:53] fleischwolf, seems like a bit of an odd program [11:53] sudokill: why ? [11:53] arfbtwn: so what is the meaning of info + expunged? [11:53] fleischwolf: gbadev.org [11:53] fleischwolf, not your common type of program i mean [11:53] maybe you can get source from somewhere idk === ryanakca_ is now known as ryanakca [11:54] gohdan: i'm familiar with gbadev.org, but i couldn't find a linux tool for this particular purpose [11:55] cheche: I believe that's how GNU/Linux handles it's recycle bin [11:55] newgen: seems ok, my line has some more options but i guess your line is ok to boot up the encrypted parts [11:55] cheche: ie. Those directories should contain information about where the files were originally located, for example [11:55] newgen: but i am missing the root-line at your config, dont know if it is needed [11:56] iceroot, no, its not nesessary [11:56] newgen: http://pastebin.com/9LT7R63a that my line for encrpyted / [11:56] fleischwolf: 'gnufoo.org/gba' not sure how reliable or even applicable. as always caveat hacker. [11:57] newgen: but setup a loglevel is maybe a good idea [11:58] iceroot, why do you have the root parameter twice ? [11:58] fleischwolf, i done a quick google saw some gba map editor for linux not sure if its anything like what you want http://www.mdh165.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/toolsapps/toolsapps.htm [11:58] newgen: hm, good question [11:58] How do I know if a package was removed from the ubuntu repositories? [11:59] diogovk: apt-cache search package-name [11:59] diogovk: I suppose that's ^^^ one way === j0nr_ is now known as j0nr [12:00] diogovk: Search for the package on http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/ and check the publishing history. [12:00] Hi guys. I need a manual to remove safely remove ubuntu [12:00] while update or installing software its shows me unable 2 lock /var/lib/dgkp [12:00] orchata, what do you mean [12:00] I know there is a specific Winehq channel but it seems that no one in there is talking so is there any chance I could get some advice in here? [12:00] orchata, is it in a windows install or something? [12:00] orchata: how did you install it [12:01] orchata: Is it dual boot with MS Windows? [12:01] sudokill: thanks, but it seems it's only useful for backgrounds [12:01] sudokill: I have a dual boot with win 7 and ubuntu 10.10 on it. I need to remove the ubuntu one and joint the ext4 with windows ntfs fs's [12:01] fleischwolf, ah ok sorry [12:01] orchata, youd have to format ubuntu and reinstall win7 boot loader [12:02] sudokill: yeah, and how do I join ext4 with ntfs without corrupting any data [12:02] Dr_Willis, while updating my system or installing any packages my system shows me error " Unable to lock the adminstaration directory /var/lib/dkpg [12:02] let me simplify, can I get some wine help? [12:02] orchata you cant convert [12:02] sudokill, gohdan: well, thanks for the support - maybe i jump into the specs and build a converter in python or something. maybe i'm not the only one desperately searching for such a tool [12:02] JoeR1: #winehq [12:02] iceroot - I know but no one is talking in there [12:02] sudokill: how do I join the partitions? [12:02] JoeR1: but this is not the wine-support-channel [12:02] JoeR1: If you need help installing Wine, we can help, but for running applications under Wine, #winehq knows much better than us. [12:02] orchata: If so, just boot to MS Windows and restore the windows boot loader, (if need be) boot again to verify that it works and then use the win7 partition manager to delete Ubuntu's partitions. BUT, there really is no need to mess with the boot loader, that is just if you want to remove all traces of Ubuntu. [12:02] JoeR1: Also check their appdb. [12:03] iceroot, i think i found the problem [12:03] orchestra reinstall the windows mbr. then use windiws to msnage and resize the partitions [12:03] orchata, youd have to format the ntfs (after backing up) and make a new ext4 and put the data back [12:03] newgen: what was it? [12:03] !fixapt | gaurav_natty [12:03] gaurav_natty: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [12:03] orchata, how full is the data drive in % === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest42534 [12:03] around 30 GB [12:03] how big is the drive? [12:04] iceroot, i changed the title of the new kernel. but when rebooting, the title stays the same. is it possible that it is not updated in the mbr ? [12:04] sudokill: 500 GB [12:04] 30gb used? [12:04] orchata: A step further will be to reclaim the Hard Drive space formerly used by Ubuntu's partitions by using a partition manager to expand the size of the MS Windows partitions. [12:04] iceroot, I know that is why I asked if it would be ok [12:04] newgen: if i am correct you have to run update-grub on grub2 so that your chances take effect [12:04] usr13: OK. THanks [12:04] newgen: but never used grub2 really [12:05] Pici - I did check the appdb but it had not the answer I sought [12:05] Dr_Willis, How i fixapt [12:05] orchata, I had a 1TB ntfs drive that i wanted to convert to ext4, and i didnt have anything big enough tio back it up with. I had to split the drive into 2 500GB partitions, format one as ext4, copy the ntfs data over to ext4, format the ntfs artition as unallocated and extend the ext4 to 1tb pita i know [12:05] any clue about this error tring to reinstall grub on a usb pen where i installed ubuntu ? the error is : /usr/sbin/grub-probe error: cannot stat 'aufs' [12:05] orchata: If you think you have plans to re-install Ubuntu later on and do not need the extra space, you can skip the last step and just have some free space at the end of your Hard Drive. Leave it that way until your needs change. [12:05] jribas: but is ubuntu's ruby incorrectly configured if it puts the libdir inside /usr/local? [12:05] newgen: is it also a raid? without a synced /boot? [12:06] hi somehow on maverick ive removed my menu, whats the app to re-install [12:06] hi anyone knows about openerp or is there any irc channel [12:06] hey guys. everytime i use apt-get i get the following output at the beginning: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641838/ . anyone knows how to repair that issue? i've already googled a lot yet but nothing did work.. [12:06] Fudge, right click and add app menu [12:06] how do you define primary and secondary dns when editing /etc/network/interfaces? [12:06] !alis | pyghassen [12:06] usr13: But I need that space on my win. And win cannot work with ext4 [12:06] pyghassen: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [12:06] iceroot, no, single hd. dualboot. osx and ubuntu running from an "efi" loader === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:07] newgen: until now i thought you are a good person but then i saw osx :) [12:07] orchata: Then use the partition manager to expand the windows partition to cover that space. (You will need to delete those partitions first.) [12:07] i do not use it at all... i bought the mac book to run ubuntu on it. and the first install was flawwless [12:07] usr13: Is ther a built in tool for that in win 7? [12:08] orchata, right click my comp manage disk management [12:08] orchata: Yes, I'm pretty sure there is. [12:08] its a bit likegparted [12:08] iceroot, osx is awkward.... i is very restrictive and the packet management is worse than ubuntu [12:08] sudokill gnome-panel isnt running and its installed, along with gnome-panel-data [12:08] orchata: It is on all the Win7 machines Ive encountered. [12:09] fudge i know this is old but shuld work http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [12:10] !panels | Fudge [12:10] Fudge: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:10] ah i reinstalled and logged back in, fixed :D [12:10] tks [12:10] Fudge: You can also just go back to defaults by deleting .gnome [12:10] Ok, never mind Fudge [12:11] OK. Thanks guys [12:11] iceroot, the grub is the problem. i did a update-grub, but the new title does not show up. neither in the kernel selections, not under the "previous versions" [12:11] orchata: NP [12:12] newgen: You probably have to do grub-install after update-grub Right?... [12:12] iceroot, and when using the "recovery mode" , i get the error "VFS cannot open root device "mapper/sda4_crypt" or unknown block (0,0) [12:12] is it not update-grub2? [12:12] or am i wrong [12:13] newgen: that sounds more like "luks not in ramdisc" [12:13] !grub2 [12:13] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [12:13] fleischwolf: you can probably get more success by firing off a question to one of the FLOSS gba emu's mailing lists [12:13] gohdan: what's FLOSS ? [12:14] fleischwolf: free libre open source software [12:14] newgen: or if the uuid does not match there is no /dev/mapper/foobar [12:14] gohdan: ok, thanks - i'll give it a try, when i am stuck [12:14] any one here who is familiar with Asterisk in ubuntu [12:15] iceroot, thats what i meant with my comment [13:52] [12:15] newgen: there was a way to get the uuid and see if it is matching grub or fstab [12:15] Bipul: try #asterisk [12:15] iceroot, more important: i remember ther was a way to remove the uuid and use proper /dev/ devices [12:16] newgen: there a reasons why uuid is better [12:16] iceroot, yeah, like the two ours i already spent fixing it [12:17] newgen: :) [12:17] iceroot, really. since i used suse 6.0 , i never had so much problems like with this uuid stuff [12:17] iceroot: Can you go into those reasons a little? (I'm curious too.) [12:17] !tell Bipul about pm [12:17] Bipul, please see my private message [12:17] you can use labels uf you dont like uuid. [12:17] hey guys. everytime i use apt-get i get the following output at the beginning: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641838/ . anyone knows how to repair that issue? i've already googled a lot yet but nothing did work.. [12:17] newgen: Whi is it a problem? [12:18] hi guys i am new to unix n ubuntu . I have to files having same content. I want to modify one of the files. I have diff result of what needs to be modified and command which can take diff as input and change file conents [12:18] *two [12:18] usr13, it just makes thinks complicated. like the new kernel log timestamps... KISS!! keep it simple stupid [12:18] DaHaiz: Did you try apt-get -f install ? [12:18] usr13: i have a system with 8G B harddisc for / and two usb-drives for /home/user/movies the two usb-drives are using a raid. when not using uuid there is a chance that one usb-drive will not be sdc but mabye sdd and that will kill my system [12:19] usr13: so i dont have to be afraif /dev/sdX is changing just because i have a usb-stick inserted too [12:19] iceroot: aaahhh yes, ok. Thank you. [12:19] usr13: genral for removable drives uuid is better [12:19] usr13: if you are mounting then at boot [12:20] usr13: yes i did, but said that there is nothing to install/remove/upgrade and nothing not upgraded [12:20] iceroot: Yes, I see. [12:20] iceroot, when i use grup-install, how are the changes i overwrite my efi bootloader and kill the other os running on the hd? [12:20] re-posting as no replies hi guys i am new to unix n ubuntu . I have to files having same content. I want to modify one of the files. I have diff result of what needs to be modified and is there a command which can take diff as input and change file conents [12:21] vkj: 'patch' is the command you're looking for. [12:21] k i will man patch [12:21] thanks [12:21] iceroot: To find the uuid of a drive, it has to be mounted? Yes No ? [12:21] diff and patch. like peanutbutter and jelly. :) [12:21] vkj, btw. there are other diff. like xdiff or kdiff3 [12:21] usr13: no [12:22] usr13: use blkid command is one way [12:22] newgen: maybe backup the mbr first [12:22] i already have diff result but both files are same i have to incorporate the diff result [12:23] newgen: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/mymbr.img [12:23] newgen: that should save the part grub-install if overwriting [12:23] is [12:23] vkj: patch can take a diff file and apply changes [12:23] newgen: ah stop!!! [12:23] iceroot, backupping to usb .. [12:23] Dr_Willis: Does blkid require sudo? [12:23] iceroot, yes? [12:24] usr13: orob. [12:24] !blkid [12:24] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [12:24] usr13: yes, it does. [12:24] Pici: so just sudo blkid ? [12:24] newgen: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/mymbr.img bs=512 count=1 [12:24] usr13: indeed. [12:24] newgen: you need the first 512byte only [12:24] iceroot, i know. [12:25] iceroot, but thx again [12:25] newgen: ah ok, just wnated to get sure [12:25] Pici: Dr_Willis iceroot Very good. Thanks info. [12:25] after a recent upgrade (kernel?) I can hear no more sound, how can I debug it ? [12:25] i'm using ubuntu server....why if i type ping www.google.com, i get no answer...but i can do an apt-get install and it downloads? [12:26] strk, kernel upgrade? on your own, or from ubuntu repos [12:26] SambaEXT: does it install from CD ? [12:26] bazhang: repos [12:26] Dr_Willis: What is another way? [12:26] bazhang: lucid [12:26] SambaEXT: Does google.com resolve? [12:27] strk, check alsamixer to make sure nothing is muted [12:27] usr [12:27] gah, found [12:28] usr13: /dev/disks/by-uuid [12:28] bazhang: "Speaker" ! [12:28] no, it does not intall from cd....no google.com does not resolve [12:28] iceroot, cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt [12:28] :? [12:28] I'm pretty sure it didn't make a difference in actual output (speaker) [12:28] do names of those controls change from kernel to kernel ? driver to driver ? [12:29] iceroot, it has a problem with the root line of the new kernel [12:30] Dr_Willis: But, looks like you have to guess which is which. Right? [12:30] newgen: on grub1 there is a device.map file (or something like that where /dev/sdaX is tranlated to /dev/mapper/foobar) install-grub is reading that device.map but dont ask me about grub2 [12:30] hi guys - needed a little help with licid & python 2.7 packages... [12:30] i installed python2.7 from the fkrull/deadsnakes ppa [12:31] Dr_Willis: Never mind. I see, they are symlinks [12:31] but can't seem to get it to work with the glib2 reactor in twisted.

[12:39] Rugnur, ##hardware for that [12:39] newgen: so you should only add your drive to /boot/grub/device.map and run install-grub if i am correct [12:39] bazhang: cheers [12:40] hello can u tell me wht to do to install plugin in totem [12:40] iceroot, thats what i hoped for. but it's not working [12:40] newgen: of course its not working. that would be to easy [12:40] to run .avi [12:40] newgen: but the install-grub part is running?

[12:48] how to start and stop dhcp service in 11.04 [12:48] when i type /etc/init.d/dh tab nothing is coming [12:48] kim_, killall -9 dhcpd [12:48] service dhcpd restart [12:48] newgen, thats not the preferred way of doing it [12:49] !upstart > kim_ [12:49] kim_, please see my private message [12:49] bazhang, thats the one and only way to make things sure [12:49] bazhang: the python-twisted from the repos is coupled no the 2.6.5 install [12:50] bazhang, there was a time, when all services where proberly startet and stopped in /dev/init.t/myservice start|stop|restart [12:50] Fetched 50.5MB in 2min 5s (402kB/s) [12:50] Failed to fetch http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org/pool/main/d/dirac/libdirac-encoder0_1.0.2-2_i386.deb Size mismatch [12:50] newgen: don't you mean /etc/init.d?? [12:50] when i did service dhcpd restart ...it is saying unrecognized services [12:50] this is error [12:50] newgen: you mean /etc/init.d/myservice, surely? [12:51] newgen service does nothing but /etc/init.d $1 $2 i think [12:51] subh: backtrack is not supported here [12:51] yes, i meant /etc/init.d/.... [12:51] i am not able to find dhcp server in 11.04 [12:51] then wht should i do [12:51] but init.t looks much cooler [12:51] !backtrack | subh [12:51] subh: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [12:51] subh, #backtrack-linux not here [12:51] kim_: That's because ubuntu doesn't use the client daemon by default [12:52] then tell me how to start and stop dhcp in 11,04 [12:52] so thats it then? no clean way to get python 2.7 goodness on Ubuntu 10.04? [12:52] kim_: so killall dhclient would be the command you need. I think the ifup/down scripts will do this for you [12:53] meh just install the dam dhcpd [12:53] killall dhclient ....after that [12:53] kim_: just install dhcpd aptitude search dhcp pick one [12:53] !paste [12:53] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:53] kim_, sudo ifdown wlan0 for example [12:54] skarufue: the client daemon will make any difference compared to the client script, AFAIK [12:54] skarufue, thats hardly necessary, and aptitude is not installed [12:54] is there an easy way to convert from "seconds since 01.01.1970" to utc on command-line e.g. shell-script? [12:54] arfbtwn: yes but then he can do it the way hes used to [12:55] skarufue: but that won't solve his problem ;) [12:55] Traintop: man date [12:55] have u changed everything in new version [12:55] hello folks [12:55] like in earlear one it was happening with /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart [12:55] kim_: Assuming dhclient is now dead, you should be able to dhclient -v [12:55] please how do i get a service to run or advertise on both interfaces [12:56] kim_: what do you want to achive anyway? do you want to get a new address from dhcp server? [12:56] bazhang, arfbtwn, kim_ is talking about a DHCP server, not client [12:56] in earlier times you could switch 3d desktop effex on and off in system/preferences/appearance, how do i do that nowadays? [12:56] hi, can anyone tell me how to dpkg -i and skip the y/n prompt? [12:56] bourke, use "yes | dpkg -i ..." [12:56] newgen: great, thanks :) [12:56] skarufue: tried that before, "date --date="1310454000000000" +%s" exits with "date: ungültiges Datum "13....00"" [12:56] hmm darn [12:56] please how do i get a service to run or advertise on both interfaces [12:57] hi everybody. in 11.04 my gnome-terminal always opens 80x23 no matter how I try to fix it [12:57] Hyperbyte : thanks....yes exactly tell me ,,i am not able to start dhcp in 11.04 [12:57] the service is currently running on only loopback adapter [12:57] kim_: you need to stop asking, and read what people answer. Someone just gave you an answer in #ltsp. Have you tried that yet? [12:58] Castatroy: what service? [12:58] well its a particular ip cam server application i installed [12:58] does someone know how to fix a broken grub with a luks-crypt setup? it complains abount the device.map [12:59] it seems to be running on 8080 but only on loopback interface [12:59] Castatroy: why would you have that one announce on localhost? [12:59] Hyperbyte : I tried , but not working [12:59] remoteCTRL: its not like i just did it [12:59] i want it to advertise on all interfaces [13:00] Castatroy: erm... you want to stram the output of a webcam to some sort of web interface? [13:00] tastle73, Go into "terminal properties" and type something like: gnome-terminal --geometry=150x60 [13:00] Castatroy, workaround would be ro redirect the port with iptables , depending on the source interface [13:00] kim_: so then you go to the person who was helping you earlier, tell them exactly what error message you get and why you consider it to not be 'working'. [13:00] netstat -ntlp show the service to be running only on loopback interface [13:00] Castatroy: i suppose the application thaqt you are using has a config file? [13:01] what i want is to let it run on all interfaces or atleast eth0 [13:01] I know I can do that. It used to open 80x24 by default [13:02] skarufue: dhcp service is not working [13:02] skarufue : how to start and restart dhcp server on 11.04 [13:02] hello everyone, I have a bunch of HD's which i moved from 1 pc to another, who contained an LVM of about 5 tb [13:02] when doing lvm it says that the disks are empty but they were 100% full [13:03] there is no longer a symlink in my /dev/ directory in order to mount it [13:03] kim_, have you tried starting dhcpd directly, to get possible error messaged [13:03] kim_: what do you want to restart it for? ubuntu doesnt use the daemon for the clientside anymore. so it doesnt need to be running [13:03] how can i get the symlink back + mount the lvm and not lose my data [13:03] #ltsp [13:03] Castatroy: what you obviously do not want is to answer my questions nor to specify what exaclty you are doing, gonna be hard to help you then... [13:03] I have an issue with audio CDs not being uniformly mounted. Some are and some aren't. Can't figure out why. [13:03] skarufue: kim_ is talking about DHCP -SERVER-, not client. But kim_ has someone helping them in #ltsp and needs to pay attention to that, rather than flood two channels with the same question... [13:04] note: we reduced 2 hdd's from teh lvm because they wouldnt work anymore, so i passed a --removemissing command and removed the pv's but havent shrunk the lvm yet [13:08] remoteCTRL: its actually an axis ip cam application [13:11] remoteCTRL: u basically install a server module for the ip cameras to connect to it [13:12] remoteCTRL: application has been installed alright but the service is only running on the loopback interface [13:12] Castatroy: does the application have a name? [13:12] remoteCTRL: so i want the service (8080) to advertise on both loopback and eth0 [13:13] remoteCTRL: axissts [13:13] Castatroy: how do you install axissts, does it have a packet oder did you compile it? [13:13] am i automatically masked over irc? [13:14] remoteCTRL: compile it === ooo is now known as Guest81078 [13:14] i mean, there is a message 'brainwave92 sets mode +i' does it mean my ip is hidden from others accessing the irc? [13:15] brainwave92: no. If you want more info, ask in #freenode [13:16] Hey, I just installed ubuntu 10.04 (lts) but I dont seem to be automatically connected t my house's wifi, is there a place where i can browse and choose wifi connections ? [13:16] can anyone tell me how to remove or replace the footer "powered by or sponsered by" i cant find that in the source code. iam new in php. help.com/demo ? [13:17] Castatroy: so the app does not have any config file? [13:17] hi I got a serious issue removing an package [13:17] introuble: The source code of what? [13:17] pyghassen, go ahead... [13:17] what does this means ? [13:17] dpkg -l | grep openerp [13:17] rH openerp-server 6.0.2-1 === ghost is now known as Guest80329 [13:17] Pici, yes sorry....i did want to add 'where can i find help' [13:17] poil: In the top right of your screen there should be a slice of pie. Click it. [13:17] nothing interesting there [13:18] poil, reminds me of siftheads! [13:18] yes it does have [13:18] well, there is the VPN network connections stuff, but i don't get what tyo do there [13:18] poil: does it have wireless network listed as a section? [13:18] pyghassen, dpkg -l lists all the package, and grep finds for lines containing the given string [13:18] what is the rH falg [13:19] introuble: This channel is for support of Ubuntu only. If you're looking for detailed help regarding a specific application that we ship, then it might be better to see if they have their own channel here. [13:19] arfbtwn I'm not sure what you're asking but i think i'll answer no [13:19] Hello, does anyone have an idea how to make internet-pass-through work, The phone is a HTC desire S and the OS is ubuntu 11.04. can anyone guide me? [13:19] the problem is in last line brainwave92 [13:20] all other packages got ii but this one got rH when running dpkg -l!!!!!!!!!!!!! [13:20] Castatroy: well usually that is the place where to look for the variable that declares where to put the output [13:20] pyghassen: the top few lines of the dpkg -l output tell you what that means. In this case: Remove, Half-inst [13:20] poil: sounds like your wireless is not being recognised. What's your wifi card? [13:21] No idea, i just bought this netbook (asus) [13:21] in earlier times you could switch 3d desktop effex on and off in system/preferences/appearance, how do i do that nowadays? [13:21] Pici: I can't remove it even I type dpkg -r openerp-server [13:22] earlier i had ubuntu 11.04 but had troubles with lxde so I switched to ubuntu lts, and in the 11.04 i had no problem with Wifi on Gnome [13:22] pyghassen: have a try with apt-get install -f [13:22] i'm just brand new with ubuntu, by the way. [13:23] still got [13:23] Errors were encountered while processing: [13:23] openerp-server [13:23] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [13:23] after running apt-get install -f [13:23] does simple-ccsm works with natty [13:24] ?

[13:26] does simple-ccsm works with natty [13:26] impiza, dude dont flood [13:26] hello. I have a question about permissions. I mount a device using fstab the following way: /dev/mapper/isw_cagagbhdac_Raid5p2 /mnt/data ntfs-3g uid=mm,gid=users,fmask=137,dmask=027 0 2 [13:26] !pateience | impiza [13:26] !patience | impiza [13:26] impiza: 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/ [13:27] it works, and I can create files and stuff as user. But I can't do something like "chmod +x binary.file" [13:27] why and is there a way I am allowed to do that? [13:27] hi, how do i deactivate this snap to edges make window fullsize thing? [13:27] k sorry [13:28] I broke Ubuntu! When I turn it on. I get BusyBox v1.15.3 ... built-in shell (ash). Then a command box that starts with (initramfs). How do I get the gui back? [13:28] DarsVaeda, which window manager are you running? Is it compiz or metacity? [13:28] I do it in compiz settings. [13:28] ichbinder, I don't think you can change permissions from ubuntu on an NTFS partition. [13:28] uhm... [13:28] its standard unity whatever it is [13:28] i am using mint 11 based on ubuntu 11.04 [13:28] Sidewinder1, why not? i believe a pluging or something exists? [13:29] impiza, good [13:29] VonLipwig: Can you open a virtual terminal yet? [13:29] Sidewinder1: hm, why not? NTFS knows nothing about unix-permissions. That's why I can use these settings like fmask=137 and dmask=027 ...at least that's what I know... :-/ [13:29] default ccsm is working [13:29] ahh no wait I'm in gnome, but standard though [13:30] but it is very hard to use [13:30] bullgard4: I am a bit of a noob. Whats a virtual terminal? [13:30] pyghassen: dpkg --configure -a [13:31] VonLipwig, its just a terminal emulator [13:31] !liveusb [13:31] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:31] it mimics the command line interface, and commands work just as they should in a shell.... [13:31] VonLipwig, all the terminals you see on the screen in a gui are virtual terminals [13:32] VonLipwig: A virtual terminal is a program where you can enter and read letters only and no graphics (with minor exceptions). -- Can you press Ctrl+Alt+F1? How does your computer respond? [13:32] also: I can't even do "sudo chmod +x binary.file". After doing that, it's still without executable permission... I guess these masks are pretty strict. Is there some way to fix this? [13:32] bullgard4, how to get back from that? [13:32] !mintsupport | impiza [13:32] impiza: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [13:32] still [13:32] dpkg -l | grep openerp- [13:32] rH openerp-server 6.0.2-1 [13:32] impiza, whats the exact problem? [13:32] I hate it, I have no solution [13:32] Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't do anything. I can type commands, thats about it [13:33] brainwave92, impiza mint is not supported here [13:33] impiza: l;inux mint is not supported here. try their irc channel [13:33] pyghassen: i am afraid i am also out of ideas... [13:33] please wait i am uploading screenshot [13:33] VonLipwig: You can type commands. Good. And how does the computer react on them? [13:33] impiza, no, not here. [13:34] hm, am I in the wrong channel with my permissions problem? Can anybody point me to a direction? :-/ [13:34] whenever I got this error I wind up reinstalling ubuntu [13:34] impiza, we've told you MINT is not supported here [13:34] Typing help works [13:34] bazhang: sorry for stepping on your toes there. i must be lagging hard [13:34] Typing exit [13:34] Typing exit show a bunch of codes then says 'panic occurred, switching back to text console' [13:34] bazhang i know but mint 11 is based on ubuntu i think you guys can help me [13:34] impiza: no, mint is not supported here, they have their own support channel [13:34] impiza, no. please stop asking. [13:35] y [13:36] when i try to install it shows like this http://imgur.com/E91Ue [13:36] VonLipwig: What happens if you command: "sudo service gdm start"? [13:36] bullgard4: VonLipwig is in busybox [13:36] Pici: Ah. Thank you. [13:37] using 10.04, whenever i close my browser, i can not click/type into the terminal, had to click somewhere else then i'm able to type in the terminal [13:37] this happened since i started to use 10.04...anyone seen this? [13:37] xxiao, obviously! u need to select the terminal before typing init no? [13:38] Typing that command returns '/bin/sh: sudo: not found' [13:38] yes i click it and select it, but can not type [13:38] it's not about click, i can never type anything until i click somewher else, then click the terminal again [13:38] Does the installation disk have some sort of auto repair feature? [13:38] it's getting more and more inconvenient [13:39] can anybody state if using fmask in fstab makes it impossible to change permissions using chmod? === guid_ is now known as guid [13:40] hm, found it, I guess: "ntfs/vfat = permissions are set at the time of mounting the partition with umask, dmask, and fmask and can not be changed with commands such as chown or chmod." on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [13:41] so, Sidewinder1: you are correct, to some degree. ;) At least it's not changeable, once it has been mounted. [13:41] ikonia, you read my post earlier today about sony handycam support on linux? NONE of them are supported. Did fairies make some models work? [13:41] it happened again, darn IT [13:41] ichbinder, I thought so, but wasn't absolutely certain. [13:42] brainwave92: stop trying to be smart and re-read the advice you where given [13:42] ikonia may i pm you [13:42] impiza1: sure === ozior is now known as pedofil === pedofil is now known as Guest48654 === mrmist is now known as mr_mist [13:45] ikonia, i am not usually ill mannered, but it was the smart way you talked yesterday. When you didnt really give any proper advice other that 'check if you device is supported' , and i got from sony what i expected, 'we dont support'. But for the other advice of seeing how it works on windows, and then doing it on linux , was a good one, and thanks for that. [13:45] brainwave92: you didn't listen to what was said [13:45] brainwave92: 1.) check if the device is supported under linux - doesn't mean you have to go to Sony - it means see if the Linux kernel supports that device and if so what version [13:45] Sidewinder1: yeah, like I said:to some degree. :) You can mount it anyway you want, but you can't change the standard permissions, once it's mounted. Seems like you can use some fancy new features, though: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446788 === mr_mist is now known as mrmist [13:46] brainwave92: 2.) I told you get support / help advice for setting your camera under Windows from Sony - as that way you would know it's working and not a problem with your PC as Windows is a supported OS to Sony [13:46] brainwave92: so do that please [13:46] ikonia: brainwave92: if i may assist gentlemen: http://linuxhcl.com/ i believe that is where ikonia meant you should chekc whether it is supported... [13:47] remoteCTRL: I didn't give the exact URL, so thank you, but yes that is exactly what I was suggesting [13:47] ikonia: np:) [13:47] remoteCTRL, ikonia thanks......:) [13:47] brainwave92: np:) [13:47] sorry i was irritated, but the frustration mounted up at spending lots of time trying different things......sorry again. === Guest48654 is now known as ozior === wolfy is now known as Guest47889 [13:49] ikonia: ozior is now known as pedofil pls do something...

[13:57] (got no idea what kind of things are needed there) [13:57] poil: There isn't much point in installing an LTS if you aren't going to be installing security updates. [13:57] alright thanks [13:57] thanks for the help and bye! [13:57] poil: If you're interested in reading what the changes the updates are installing, you can install apt-listchanges, which will show you the changes before installation.

[14:07] do a search for $o= [14:07] they often start with this [14:08] hi [14:08] anyone using gnome shell? [14:09] Research can you please download the .zip file and have a look. i cant find it either [14:10] sure [14:10] send the link [14:10] hey guys...i just did an accidental chown root:www-data to everything in and under my my /var/ (-Rfv) - i worry that the change will adversely effect other areas of my system - i'm kind of new - can someone light my path a bit and tell me what i should do? [14:11] Research http://hesk.com/download.php [14:11] Research, introuble: This really isn't on-topic for this channel. Do you mind taking the conversation elsewhere or to pm? [14:11] anyone using gnome shell? [14:11] !anyone | sudipta [14:11] sudipta: 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. [14:11] Hello! [14:12] hi all [14:12] May I ask for a little advice? [14:12] let you know if I find it [14:12] can anyone share some screenshots of his gnome shell desktop [14:12] Savannah: Don't ask to ask, just ask. [14:12] Yeesh, okay [14:13] Savannah, ask [14:13] jtiner, sounds bad... not everything under /var is owned by root. Best case scenario: you get some security holes. Worst case: some things wont work anymore. Maybe you need to reinstall. [14:13] rumpe1: i was afraid of that - i really don't feel like doing a reinstall and losing all of my progress on the box [14:14] need help with conky [14:14] Want to downgrade to Meerkat, but I don't own an external hard drive to move my stuff to. Would installing it on a partition, moving the old crap, and then deleting the old part be too messy? [14:14] rumpe1: think I should just do a chown -Rfv root:root /var? [14:14] Savannah: Well not really [14:14] Is it a bad idea is what I'm asking. [14:14] #archlinux [14:14] No? I won't create any problems for myself? [14:14] jtiner, no... in my var some files has different owner... i doubt, that this would do the trick. [14:15] i installed warsow game but when start this it is saying analog out of range what does it means ? [14:15] Savannah, its stright proccess i dont think it will be any messy [14:15] I'm not incredibly clever or experienced. [14:15] Savannah, you need not to do that [14:15] @HackNewton: Thanks! [14:15] jtiner: something like this might help -> sudo dpkg -S '/var/' [14:15] That's all I needed to know. I appreciate it. [14:15] Is it possible to map one keyboard-key to trigger a key-combination? (specifically, i want my caps-lock key to act as super+space) [14:16] anybody help me [14:16] jtiner, i guess a backup/reinstall would be easiest way to proper fix this. [14:16] Hi, somebody know about GPL????? [14:16] Savannah, you are most welcome [14:16] arag0rn: what will that do? [14:16] Has anyone setup the Indicator Workspaces applet on 11.04? ( described here: http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/quickly-switch-workspaces-in-ubuntu-unity-with-indicator-workspaces/ ) [14:16] osmosis_paul, yes almost everyone here know GPL [14:16] we are using Wurfl that it is under GPL License and we dont know exactly how works [14:16] where is location of folder with conky [14:17] we did not modify the libraries of wurfl only using in our webservice [14:17] jtiner: I believe that command will list all the packages with files owned in /var/ [14:17] rumpe1: yes, I can nuke the box and start all over - but i'd prefer to learn how to fix the problem in the event that it occurs in the future - nuking the box and reinstalling isn't always the best idea - especially if you are trying to learn for a production environment where that won't always be an option [14:17] I would hover around to help others as much as I could, but I get the feeling I'm a little underexperienced. Also, I'm in class. So bye y'all! [14:17] but the GPL specify that only if you modify a software under the GPL license you have to share the source right? [14:17] osmosis_paul, i did not get your point with GPL [14:17] but not if only i'm using the service [14:17] how do you add applets to unity? [14:17] osmosis_paul: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html [14:18] arfbtwn: what will that do to it? sudo dpkg -S '/var/'??? [14:18] jtiner, well .. thats the precious thing you just learned: be careful with recursive commands [14:18] rumpe1: hahahahaha :} i know! [14:18] jtiner, and you learned how valuable complete backups are :D [14:18] osmosis_paul: #fsf or #gnu would be better place to ask questions about the GPL itself. [14:18] jtiner: It should give you a list of packages to reinstall, which should fix the perms [14:18] arfbtwn: gonna try that now - brb [14:19] Hay anybody knows will it be chos if i run both KDE and GNOME ? [14:19] I did not mean simulteniously [14:19] HackNewton: you can run whatever you want [14:20] arfbtwn: can i msg you something? [14:20] HackNewton: It will be fine, you'll can pick which desktop environment you want at your login screen. [14:20] how do i find which package has eulervm.sty so that i can just do apt-get install package? [14:20] yes but i am concern with will it be messey for me to work with files ? [14:20] HackNewton: it's kind of annoying === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest35023 [14:21] pythonirc101: Either install apt-file and search using that, or look on http://packages.ubuntu.com [14:21] extraclassic, thanks [14:21] HackNewton, extraclassic: Why would it be messy or annoying at all? [14:22] Pici, well i am thinking it will more things to manage as system administrator than just one desktop enviroment [14:22] so am concern with that [14:22] having different apps that do the same thing is annoying...you'll end up with gnome-terminal & konsole, so things like that [14:23] I have my refresh rate 50Hz how to increse it to 60Hz? [14:23] Pici: thanks [14:23] extraclassic, thanks i was concern about that NOw its crytal clear [14:25] jiltdil, go to your monitor setting in system setting and change setting [14:25] i checked but there is only one option 50hz [14:25] hi [14:26] join #xubuntu [14:26] jiltdil, then it means your monitor does not support 60Hz on that perticular resolution [14:26] hi mhsky [14:26] so i asked here and my resolution is 1600*900 [14:26] jiltdil, are you using any graphics card ?

I can't find any. [15:12] I could use some help setting up xmonad on 11.04 ... I've followed existing tutorials and I seem to be ending up with a window manager conflict, and also I don't get offered the option to start an xmonad session from the login window as the tutorials said I would. [15:12] Incarus6, what should i do now ?? [15:12] extraclassic: no i want to retain my US ip while im abroad [15:12] pratz, type "cd /usr/bin && sudo rm /usr/bin/python && sudo ln -s python2.6 /usr/bin/python" [15:13] rumpe1: Yeah [15:13] hi i have command line i always write it in terminal when i login . can i write it in shell script or any thing to write it for only time [15:13] chombee, to check harddisc-failure, maybe use memtest from a different media (cd, usb..) [15:13] extraclassic, he is trying to configure an US proxy server, but I can't explain that because Im not using Gnome/unity [15:13] rumpe1: Ok, I'll try that [15:14] chombee, but i would bet on your ram [15:15] i had one set up at one point but i used IPCop which configures squid for you [15:16] extraclassic: no i want to retain my US ip while im abroad [15:16] Incarus6, thank you very much dude, that has fixed the issue [15:16] Any other xmonad users here? I tried asking at #xmonad, someone there asked me a clarification question which I answered and then received no responses. [15:16] Incarus6, i think the softlink what pointed wrong , am i correct ?? [15:17] which flash player version should i download ? (64 bits) YUM, tar.gz, rpm (that's redhat i think) or ATP ? what are the differences ? ty ;) [15:17] pratz, no problem. Yes, the softlink was wrong, it pointed to python2 which doesn't exist which seems to be a bug. It should point to python2.6 [15:18] which flash player version should i download ? (64 bits) YUM, tar.gz, rpm (that's redhat i think) or ATP ? what are the differences ? ty ;) [15:18] poill, it's allways better to install the version in the ubuntu repo === herve is now known as herve06 [15:18] ah, you mean something like sudo get-apt [15:18] !flash | poill [15:18] poill: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:18] ty [15:19] bfri: you'll want to find a vpn service with exit points in the united states. have a look at services like witopia or strongvpn.

[15:20] I just installed mplayer-gui using apt-get. dpkg --listfiles doesn't show a /usr/bin/gmplayer, but the menu and mime files that it installed reference that binary. Is there some other pkg that I'm missing that should be providing this binary? (11.04 is installed). [15:20] ty [15:20] Incarus6: Does the "flashplugin" installed in firefox? [15:20] bfri: never used it. you'll want a vpn service for securing your traffic at airports and the liks anyway. [15:21] Wiallim, I'mt not sure if I got that question right, but that will also install the flashplugin for firefox ;) [15:21] who am i setting this vpn up with and why does that allow me to use a different IP sipior [15:22] bfri: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network [15:23] sipior i dont really care about security as much as i do about just changing my IP [15:23] sipior does that make sense [15:23] haha, There is the easiest way that use firefox running your flash files. [15:23] bfri: it sounds moronic, frankly. [15:23] cannonball, I think gmplayer is obsolete, try gnome-mplayer ;) [15:23] rumpe1: Booted Ubuntu from a USB and now memtest is running, not freezing immediately as it did when I ran memtest from the internal HD. Maybe that means it's the HD? Is there a way to test the HD? [15:23] Sipior the security part or ip part? [15:23] The mplayer can't play flash file. [15:23] bfri: the security part, of course. [15:24] bfri: seeing as you can do both simultaneously. [15:24] sipior i am not concerned about my internet activity being monitored or info being stolen [15:24] sipior i just want another ip [15:24] chombee, sure... gparted has a check-tool for partitions...or there should be a Disk utility in the administration menu [15:25] hey, so my mouse just dies once in a while.. is there a way to reset my mouse driver or soemthing [15:25] ?

[15:44] Will a default Ubuntu installation come with any licensing headaches? That is, can I use a default Ubuntu Server installation for a client, and not worry that there are any sort of restrictions on how they may use the software (or use the software at all)? [15:44] sandman1: no licensing headaches. === sandman1 is now known as sandman [15:45] good day all [15:45] its not me facing that prob and my mouse is worked wonderfully in ubuntu 10.10 after i formated to natty its stopped working in some regions(below the center of the desktop)!!!!!!! [15:45] helo [15:46] sandman: if your client is planning on modifying software and redistributing it, you'll need to look at the specific terms of each program (generally some version of the GNU General Public Licence) [15:46] help!! The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. << how to enable such packages? [15:46] sipior: Okay. Well, what I've got is a situation where a client uses Microsoft Access as a database frontend and a backend. There are some problems with it, which is primarily where I will come in. What I'd like to do is build for them an Ubuntu Server running PostGreSQL to operate as a backend to LibreOffice Base. [15:46] They won't be modifying any software and redistributing it. [15:46] phoenixsampras, what are you trying to install? [15:46] sandman: no worries, then. [15:47] coz_ Ember [15:47] ha is there nay one to look at m prob [15:47] phoenixsampras, did you download this pacakge..yes? [15:47] blinkyb, well... ram and hd space doesn't seem to be the problem... as long as you don't open a few ram intensive applications like libreoffice, gimp oder browsers at the same time [15:47] But yeah. Like I said about the setup, Libre Base as the front-end to a PostGreSQL backend. I want to use Ubuntu because, well, frankly if I can't service them after I'm done, they'll have some place to go (Canonical) [15:47] coz_ im using ubuntu software center [15:47] phoenixsampras, ah ok let me check here hold on [15:47] rumpe1, I'm just running firefox alone.. [15:47] I'd like to, from now on, provide my clients with Canonical's support information, such that they can call to get service, should I not be able to. [15:47] rumpe1, Well, along with X-Chat here.. [15:48] So, this is good. I have a feeling Ubuntu will be running very well =) [15:48] extraclassic ok now i ping'ed some now what? === maco2 is now known as maco [15:48] Thanks for answering my question.

[15:52] "if you dont know vi, you dnt know linux" this is a comment given to me when asked about "vi editor". i am using linux more than a year but didnt use vi bcos i felt its difficult. is there any guide to get started with "vi editor" or any instructions? [15:52] balaji_: vimtutor is a good start. (I've been using Linux for nearly 10 years (yikes!) and I just started to learn vim this year) [15:52] balaji_, vim usually comes with "vimtutor" as a tutorial [15:53] rumpe1: how to use it? [15:53] pici, This is not a genuine ubuntu package [15:54] balaji: try installing gvim and working with the menus. Easy way to pick up basic commands [15:54] rumpe1, open terminal, enter "top", watch and learn [15:54] balaji_, vi is obsolete as editor [15:54] Has anyone had good luck with the LaserJet Pro M1212nf in Ubuntu?? [15:55] Incarus6: a text editor can be obsolete? lol === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [15:55] Incarus6, edlin is obsolete, but vi certainly isn't [15:55] rumpe1, there is something called plugin'containe' [15:56] exit [15:56] rumpe1, there is something called 'plugin-containe'. As soon as I ran 'top', containe was running %93! now it's around 8. [15:57] how can i increase gpu fans? i have acer aspire 6530g and 3560 ati mob [15:57] arfbtwn, rumpe1, compared to nano it is in my opinion, but that is offtopic ;) [15:57] blinkyb, perhaps you have activated some fancy desktop-window-stuff, which need some time and cpu [15:57] hi, i'm running 11.04 server and after a power outage, i can't login as root (hangs past the motd) and if i login as a normal user and su, the term becomes unresponsive [15:57] blinkyb, rumpe1, plugin-container is the firefox process which is an extra process for flash player [15:57] Incarus6, is it offtopic? ... on my router theres no nano and no vim... just vi. So there are real-world cases, where you have to use vi. [15:57] rumpe1, I will remove this plugin and restart pc. [15:58] blinkyb, That won't fix it, IMO [15:58] Incarus6, what do you propose then? I mentioned that last week my pc was running fine! [15:58] how can i increase gpu fans? i have acer aspire 6530g and 3560 ati mob [15:59] rumpe1:what to learn from "top". it is just showing processes [15:59] balaji_, to learn, what's really going on... [16:00] blinkyb, if plugin-container allmost use CPU 100% then the flash player is hanging. It's a common issue because Adobe activated the new hadware acceleration. You could disable it and try if that will work [16:00] balaji_, what desktop do you use? maybe a less fancy desktop can increase the performance significantly [16:00] Incarus6, disable it? How am I gonna use flash then? [16:00] Lemme go back to 'top' and see progress.

[16:27] google earth in Natty Narwhal [16:28] prof7bit: xterm source? [16:28] no. [16:28] there must be a configuration option, don't you think? [16:28] prof7bit: that's the answer to your question. Anyway, my guess is you probably want to craft a nice ~/.Xdefaults [16:29] Hi! I have an ubuntu on a sony vaio and when I start it it sais that It's running in low graphics mode. How do I get it work normally? [16:29] i don't have an Xdefaults currently that would have chnged the colors, so where else should I look?

[16:35] prof7bit: well remove those definitions from your xresources and run xterm, see if it's black or white [16:35] KoltMaesta, open a terminal I believe if you do sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia* then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade reboot and test [16:35] jrib: does it matter if its black or white?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:43] BluesKaj: I know the pass I know the networkname I just don't know how to connect to it with iwconfig [16:43] Hi, all. Is it possible to have the static application switcher show the window titles? Currently, it does not and can be hard to determine which is the correct window? [16:44] KoltMaesta, have you setup network manager settings ? [16:44] hi all [16:44] BluesKaj: Its in recovery mode. I have termianl only. [16:44] hi, is there a desktop app for ubuntu that supports google bookmarks (kind of stand alone app?) [16:51] rafi: open a terminal, and type sudo apt-get install subversion ssh [16:54] rrva ok [16:56] rrva : ok i have done [16:56] rafi: what IDE are you using? what do you want to do?

[17:01] rafi: ok, you can use command-line svn or a graphical client. What do you want? === Abhijit_ is now known as Abhijit [17:03] rafi: with command-line it's just "svn checkout http://blah/blah" or "svn checkout svn://blah/blah", and then you can use "svn add foo.txt" "svn commit -m "foo.txt is too boring" foo.txt [17:04] rafi: if you don't want command-line, what language IDE are you working with? eclipse? [17:04] ok for example i have go in to http//sdtsvn.grahamecooper.com/ [17:06] sloved it. the following into a (newly created) ~/.Xresources : [17:06] x-terminal-emulator*background: #ffffff [17:06] x-terminal-emulator*foreground: #000000 [17:06] x-terminal-emulator.SimpleMenu*background: #eeeff2 [17:06] x-terminal-emulator.SimpleMenu*foreground: #000000 [17:06] and then run xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources [17:06] and the colors are correct.

[17:09] rrva: thanks [17:09] KoltMaesta: sudo mount /dev/sdX /where/to/mount [17:10] !mount | KoltMaesta [17:10] KoltMaesta: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [17:10] rafi: also for GUI, try http://rabbitvcs.org/ (have not tried it) [17:12] KoltMaesta: they usually automount, unless you failed to safely remove the device and just pulled it out without first informing your OS [17:14] Question - I've heard it said to make your swap partition the same size as your RAM. What if I have a server with 48gb of RAM? Does the same rule still apply, or wouldn't it because I wouldn't be utilizing hibernate mode on a server? [17:15] roasted_: with 48Gb I wouldn't bother personally [17:15] roasted_ The more RAM you have the less swap you need. [17:16] If it was 500MB RAM then you'd probably benefit from a 500MB+ swap [17:16] roasted_: if you're planning on using most of that ram, you'll certainly want a few GB of swap at least, to hold unallocated memory reservations. [17:17] ActionParsnip, TheFuzzball, so with a server with 48gb of RAM what would you do for swap? Say 10gb and call it a day? [17:17] roasted_ That should be more than enough. [17:17] sipior, that's what I thought, but on a server with 76gb of space I had a hard time thinking 48 would be swap alone... [17:17] hello, what is the alternative for gksudo nautilus command used for gnome shell? [17:18] This server is an LTSP thin client server, so it's processor/network/RAM intensive but HDD space isnt used heavily [17:18] koffeehaus you can run gksu in a shell. [17:18] ahem when I have txt file encoded in windows-1250 how to turn it into utf8 or something different? [17:18] roasted_: unless, as you say, you need hibernate. I'd have a 10Gb one so things don't go crazy but that much RAM wouldneed less swap (depends on the servers role) [17:18] koffeehaus, gksu nautilus is still used in gnome shell. I use it personally. [17:18] roasted_: the point is, if you don't have swap, some of that ram will be wasted for memory reservations which are never used. (the ram is wasted) [17:18] roasted_ thanks man [17:18] koffeehaus You might just use sudo though. [17:18] thanks guys [17:19] !find dos2 [17:19] Found: dos2unix [17:19] Hello, I am testing the oneiric and saw there is error with php / imap.so [17:19] SpiderFred: try dos2unix (if i undrstand right) [17:19] jamesbond2 : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [17:20] Pici : thnx [17:21] hi. i have an external USB drive that I want to mount to "/backup" and I've done that manually before. My problemn is that the system keeps automatically mounting the drive under /media/ELEMENTS (in defienace of my fstab entry :-) ) how can I disable the automated mounting of this device under /media?? (or any other suggestions) [17:21] The disk is used to do backups across the LAN [17:21] I need to clone a user account...can i just cp - R one home to another? [17:22] CloneUser: you could as a first step of many, but I think useradd or adduser may have an option to do that for you much more easily. check the man page? [17:22] cluMor_or_less: make a symlink to /backup or add an entry in /etc/fstab [17:22] cluMor_or_less Why not rename the disk to Backup and stick to automatically mounting? [17:23] i need to have the same desktop and menu settings....i don't think useradd can help me, can't it? [17:23] CloneUser: use adduser to clone the user, the cp home folder [17:23] cluMor_or_less: sudo ln -s /media/ELEMENTS /backup [17:23] TheFuzzball: rename it? hmm, even if I do rename it, the system rules will keep trying to mount it under /media. [17:24] i know how to mount remote drives. smb point in fstab, manually one time, nfs maps, etc. But when i put my usb key into my usb port, gnome shows me a pretty icon that magically pops up. Doesn't Gnome know something similar for network drives? I swear i've accidently had gnome show me a mounted network drive on my desktop before. [17:24] cluMor_or_less: did you use the partition's UUID in fstab? [17:24] cluMor_or_less I see :S It looks like fstab is your only option there then :) [17:24] ActionParsnip, yeah thx [17:25] ActionParsnip: Ia gree that would bea start but over the years I have learned that its a bad idea to use symbolic links as parts of network wide infrastructural namespace for things that are intended to never move [17:25] TheFuzzball: I already have the fstab entry. [17:25] The problem seems to be the udev stuff? [17:25] bytesaber_work: if they are mounted in fstab then no, if you mount it using nautilus etc, then yes [17:25] No Audio on Ubuntu 11.04 Virtual Machine installed on Virtual Box. Windows 7 Host. Any help? [17:26] ActionParsnip, if I tell fstabl to mount to a folder that is on my desktop, it makes a 2nd "hard drive" icon on my desktop. [17:26] Aahan: do you have sound enabled in the config of the virtualbox? [17:27] ActionParsnip, if i map it in fstab to /mnt/someserver nothing pops up on my desktop [17:27] I guess so [17:27] because movies, songs etc are playing [17:27] ActionParsnip: Issue is only with chat so far === VampiricPada is now known as VampiricPadraig [17:28] ActionParsnip, i even have an eject button option to "umount it" [17:28] ActionParsnip, a nice clean visual shwoing me that this is not part of my local machine [17:28] Aahan: so, doesn't mean you have sound enabled in the config, does it. You will need to shutdown the virtual system then check. === tudalex is now known as tudalex_test [17:29] is it possible to send SMS messages through command line [17:29] why can't I connect to wifi network with ubuntu 11.04 // I'm new with ubuntu [17:29] ActionParsnip: no I didnt use the UUID. I've used mount for almost 30 years and "UUID's seem icky to me" :-) (half joking - I hate trying to type stuff like that) [17:29] bytesaber_work: could make a link on your desktop for easy access to the mount point [17:30] ActionParsnip: as the UUID is unique, will that mean i dont have to use the device name. like /dev/sdb1 ? [17:30] jus tswap the UUID in for the device name in the fstab entry? [17:30] should work that way [17:30] ActionParsnip, that's what the folder on my desktopwas for. yet Gnome made a 2nd "hard drive" icon representing the same place. [17:30] ActionParsnip, if i map it to somewhere else, like /mnt/blah then nothing shows up on my desktop [17:30] Hachya: was that to me? [17:31] hello everyone. [17:31] ActionParsnip, if i make a short cut to /mnt/blah then sure i have an icon on my desktop. My question is, what's automagically popping up when i map it to my desktop? [17:31] cluMor_or_less: yes [17:31] hello all [17:31] cluMor_or_less: it may not be sdb1 each time. The UUID uniquly identifies the partition. You can see the UUID with: sudo blkid see your fstab file for syntax === orion_ is now known as Guest41687 [17:32] ActionParsnip: If I am not wrong, you are talking about enabling audio in the virtualbox settings right? if so, yes, it's enabled [17:33] Aahan: ok the run alsamixer and be sure all levels are cranked and unmuted [17:34] cluMor_or_lessL UUIDs take place of that path, unless i'm retarded.... [17:34] ActionParsnip: Like I said I am new to Linux stuff. How do I run alsamixer? [17:34] i wanmted to develop gui apps with python , i am a beginner so what interface should i use 1) wxpython or something else [17:34] bytesaber_work: i believe its udev but it may just be nautilus reading the contents of ~/.gvfs [17:35] ActionParsnip, ahh could be a .blah thing it's sensing at that path [17:35] Aahan: its a terminal command [17:35] QUESTION: Hello everybody, can someone tell me about how to install my cdma modem on my ubuntu natty? [17:35] ActionParsnip: okay, will be right back [17:35] perfectjitesh: vi...no jk jk..... go here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming [17:35] perfectjitesh: #python is a good resource as well. [17:36] lolz [17:36] hello guys, i'm running an up-to-date Ubuntu 10.04 lucid release, but i want some (actually one) packets that are present in Oneiric repos. question is : Is it ok for me to add (if i can really do that) oneiric repos to my lucid lynx ? [17:36] RWINZ: plug it in and run: lsusb; lspci [17:37] RWINZ: one line will identify the device, you can use the line to find guides [17:37] "lspci" is for what? [17:37] i have already used "lsusb" command to list my usb port [17:38] Hachya: thanks [17:38] lists pci devices.... [17:38] details about each bus, devices, etc. [17:38] De22: its not advised nor supported to mix packages between releases, you will get a big mess. [17:38] after that, i see my modem is on /dev/sr0 [17:38] ActionParsnip: okay I ran the command. Please see this screenshot: http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/7/19113361850-orig.jpg Now what do you think? [17:38] and i type to eject my modem [17:39] after that? [17:39] he wants to put elements of the new Ubuntu gui onto Ubuntu 10 with Gnome? [17:39] De22: i suggest you upgrade to oneiric or find a ppa [17:39] !who [17:39] 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 :) [17:39] ActionParsnip, i thought so [17:39] ActionParsnip: eww, eww. ick! Ick! well - Ok it works, but it just doesn't "feel right" without a device name! eww! ick ick! [OK, I'll grow up now... ] [17:39] ActionParsnip: thanks. [17:39] yeah my fault.. [17:39] :) [17:39] ActionParsnip, but thing is that i'm talking of autoconf [17:39] cluMor_or_less: using UUID solves a lot of issues [17:40] cluMor_or_less: what he said... [17:41] ActionParsnip, i see my usb port on /dev/sr0. and i eject it [17:41] Rwinz: /dev/sr0 will be a CD drive,not a modem [17:41] cluMor_or_less: try this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-finding-using-uuids-to-update-fstab/ [17:41] ActionParsnip, i need the last version (2.68) for some build, but only oneiric got that one it seems... other untrusted repos still have the 2.67, of course i can still install it as a deb, but i won't get automatic updates, which can be disturbing for such a program [17:41] cluMor_or_less: that should give you a bit of direction... [17:41] Hi, all. Is it possible to have the static application switcher show the window titles? Currently, it does not and can be hard to determine which is the correct window. [17:41] ActionParsnip: I ran the command. Please see this screenshot: http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/7/19113361850-orig.jpg Now what do you think? [17:42] Aahan: masterM is muted. Use cursors and m to unmute it. Esc to quit [17:42] ActionParsnip, owh, i am sorry. i mean i eject dev/sr1 [17:42] czesc [17:42] Rwinz: sr0 isn't a modem. [17:43] jakis polak?

[17:43] ActionParsnip, after that i typed "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19f5 product=0x9909" [17:43] Aahan: i just told you......read [17:44] RWINZ: does that make it work? [17:45] ActionParsnip: I unmuted everything I could see in there by navigating using cursors [17:45] ActionParsnip: is that okay? [17:45] ActionParsnip, the modem is detected, but i can't connect to my provider [17:46] Aahan: should be fine. Minimize the terminal and be sure the host's sound works. Then make some noise in the guest [17:46] i am on natty : my ubuntu software center is not working even after i gave a fresh installation [17:46] !3g === mirsal_ is now known as mirsal [17:47] perfectjitesh: like not working HOW?

[17:49] XD ? [17:49] MEANS [17:50] Rwinz: the line in the lsusb should show you guides [17:50] perfectjitesh: just me laughin...at myself [17:50] ActionParsnip: Not working. Host is fine though.

[17:54] who can help me? [17:54] please [17:54] Aahan: i suggest you ask in #vbox it usually works ok. Maybe others can help [17:54] okay [17:55] hi, i have problems with dnsmasqs dhcp, shouldnt it be enough to set "dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h" in the config to enable dhcp?

[18:18] AndChat-: Well, I gotta take the cards out of this machine and swap'em man.. lol [18:18] ok, in there, poke around, i suggest looking at files named messages, anything with acpi in the name, or that says power, or dmesg and look at the rest of the log file names and see what you think they mean. If you don't know what what of them is for, look at it and figure it out, use the apropos command to see if there is a manual page for it. [18:18] Pici: got it. Sorry about my noob-ity!

No need for some kind of "driver sweeper" to get the last little bits like in Windows hanging around that'd cause hangups later? [18:29] andchat@ done it is working [18:29] is it save to change the uid in /etc/passwd? i am using nfs on my lan, same username different uids, so i thought i can use the same uid on all systems so that i can use nfsv3 without the problem of the wrong owner/unkown uid [18:29] I'm looking for a notebook that I've seen before: it was real big on linking from topic to topic like wikipedia, does anyone know what I'm looking for? [18:29] #one-agency [18:29] so, any ansawer to my problem? [18:30] what do I need to do to be able to run skype more than once? [18:30] iceroot, I think you nee to use `usermod` or `useradd to do it properly [18:30] i got like 40 box of stuff to catalogue somehow [18:30] if I freshly install it it works [18:30] but then i always get "Memory Access Violation" [18:30] and thats all [18:30] BajK: what u mean more than once? [18:30] more than once [18:31] i. e. if I close it [18:31] then I want to be able to start it again [18:31] BajK: ah....hmm.... [18:31] Sounds like it doesn't support multiple instances-- [18:31] Hachya: friend of mine has the same problem [18:31] check if it's still running... [18:31] rosco_y: that's not what I am talking about [18:31] BajK: I meant if u get an error, or anything.. [18:31] ps -ef | grep skype [18:31] Hachya: as I said "Memory Access Violation" [18:31] I'm looking to bond my network interfaces on my server here. I have 4 network cards. This server will handle tasks assigned to two different labs. I'm wondering A - how to even do it, and B - if it would be wiser to bond all 4 into 1, or make 2 pairs (1 for each lab). Any insight? [18:31] pfifo: yes, but are there any problems to face after changing the uid and a reboot? [18:31] rosco_y: "more than once" not "more than once simultaneously" : [18:31] BajK: check my message [18:32] andchat@thank a ton [18:32] oh [18:32] strange [18:32] BajK: run the command Viper just sent u first, and tell output [18:32] doesn't completely shut down? [18:32] sudo killall -9 skype ? [18:32] Hachya: ? [18:32] BajK: ps -ef | grep skype [18:32] andchat ? [18:32] BajK: Viper_Scull: ps -ef | grep skype [18:32] rosco_y: I had my computer restarted [18:33] iceroot, your #1 problem and the only one I can think of is that the users files may show the old UID, but a sudo chown on a case by case basis fixes that [18:33] BajK: too weird [18:33] Hachya: weird. if I restart my computer it doesnt work anymore, but if I just close it, it keeps working [18:33] till I restart my pc [18:33] can you send a note to skype? [18:34] BajK: maybe it's leaving a lock file around... [18:34] (or something like that.... [18:34] pfifo: ah yes you are right, the files contains the uid and not the username. the username is read from /etc/passwd to translate the uid [18:34] is it in your startup processes? [18:34] thank you very much for your time ... [18:34] rosco_y: no it is not and why should it then give a MAV? why not say "already running"? [18:35] iceroot, everythings a number [18:35] BajK: right, that's why a lock-file doesn't explain it, but it's persistant somehow [18:35] rosco_y: through a computer restart? o.O [18:36] BajK: that's why I thought of looking for a file [18:36] but MAV looks like a different problem. when I completely purge it and its dependencies and reinstall it, it works [18:36] or a setting in a file [18:36] hi, got two issues: 1. I want firefox to be able to use mms:// links on ubuntu 11.04, however, the usual network.**app.mms ..external.mms, ..expose.mms configuration does not work. I still get a warning that FF does not know how to open the link. w32codecs and totem with plugins are installed [18:36] so I did sudo apt-get purge skype && sudo apt-get --purge autoremove && sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/*skype*.deb && skype :D that should do it for now [18:36] hachya: have followed the full guides online to setup android sdk and ecliips and how to make them work together , but i still cannot see my device (htc desire) [18:36] join/ #ubuntu-ru [18:36] tuggle i got one issue and no reply in hour [18:37] join\ #ubuntu-ru [18:37] r1za: /join #ubuntu-ru [18:37] I'm having trouble watching YouTube videos in fullscreen. Playback works great, but whenever I go fullscreen everything is black. I can see the controls and hear the sound, even the "Press Esc to..." message but not the video itself. Has anyone else experienced this? [18:38] tnks [18:38] osse: try alt+tab [18:38] perfectjitesh: I may not be of much help with that, what is not working, is the device found at all? [18:38] osse, try right clicking on the video and in settings, disable hardware accelration [18:38] sometimes it puts the fullscreen video behind your browser [18:38] which is a real pain for porn... [18:38] I installed 10.04 on a server with hardware raid. now when I boot up, I MUST have my flash drive plugged in that I installed Ubuntu from or it wont boot. Did my boot partition somehow get tossed on the flash drive, even though I didnt select it to when I went into manual partition mode? [18:38] pfifo: thx after changing the uid on all machines to the same value, nfs is working great [18:38] also could minimize browser [18:38] :D === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [18:39] hachya@ yes not in sdk , but in general as a stirage device it does [18:39] Hachya: keep this channel family-friendly please [18:40] perfectjitesh: I forget, but don't you have to add the device in the sdk... [18:40] perfectjitesh: somehow, not sure.... [18:40] hachya@ no problem ,leave that i will try to figure it out [18:41] pfifo: ah one nfs-option is to fake the uid.... [18:41] pfifo, that fixed it! Maybe this fixes the glitches I've seen in Flash animation on other sites as well? We'll see. Thanks! [18:41] perfectjitesh: sry couldn't be much help on that! :D [18:41] osse: entirely possible [18:41] iceroot, yeah that works too, there also ldap as a 3rd option [18:42] pfifo: yes ldap or cifs [18:42] pfifo: or both [18:43] is there a required ftp package that gets installed in 10.04 11.04 and 11.10 by default? [18:44] I installed 10.04 on a server with hardware raid. now when I boot up, I MUST have my flash drive plugged in that I installed Ubuntu from or it wont boot. Did my boot partition somehow get tossed on the flash drive, even though I didnt select it to when I went into manual partition mode? [18:44] hachya@ just tell me if my pc crashes : like ubuntu loads from boot loader , but fails to load into unity , and i am able to start my pc with startx , what commands should i use to get it working again : if even after reinstalling unity2d it does not work [18:44] roasted_: installed grub on the flash-drive i guess [18:44] hachya@ please advise me on this [18:44] roasted_, probably, just install grub on the boot drive you want [18:44] roasted_: install grub on your harddisc, that should fix it [18:45] hachya@ my pc has crashed 2 in 3 dyas , i cannot see it crash again [18:45] what runlevel is currently set right now? [18:45] perfectjitesh: perfectjitesh [18:45] perfectjitesh: sorry, what runlevel is currently set right now? [18:45] hachya@ runlevel means [18:45] iceroot, ahhh and I can do that from the liveusb.... I remember saving that link thankfully! [18:46] perfectjitesh: so, when you boot, it doesn't go to X right? [18:46] perfectjitesh: text prompt? [18:46] u mean grub version [18:46] i am using a dual boot with windows 7 and ubutnu 11.04 [18:47] perfectjitesh, NO: you say it crashes, but does it not get to a log in screen of some sort? text mode login? [18:47] perfectjitesh: I believe your runlevel has changed.... runlevel is what tells your machine to go to Text Mode, no GUI, or single user, with GUI, etc..... [18:48] hachya @ it hangs at checknig battery state [18:48] hachya@ then i use recovery mode [18:48] perfectjitesh: in the boot process? but didn't you say it works when you type in startx? [18:48] hacya@ yup it does [18:49] when i use startx in command propmt [18:49] then it starts in rooot [18:49] Hello [18:49] startx [18:49] san vero?

[19:18] perfectjitesh: yeah, umm when someone says "changes" at all, that implies something was removed....and since a problem started occurring after making such modifications, it's pretty obvious that something that was required was removed or changed....

I know that ATI cards have some problems at games on wine... === syadnom2 is now known as syadnom_away [19:37] perfectjitesh: but it stalls on battery..... which is what stumps me...

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. [19:45] omg caps scury [19:45] !caps | ubottu [19:45] themisfit: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [19:45] With unity, is there an equivalent to "killall gnome-panel" for when the panels go all screwy? [19:45] themisfit: hm? [19:45] perfectjitesh: he's kinda right, and it's been an issue for a while......and at this point, the only thing I could recommend would be changing the video driver for your card..... [19:46] Alguem sabe me dizer qual o cmd para dar permissao na pasta www nas sub-pastas e arquivos permitir leitura e escrita? [19:46] he doesnt have a card though? [19:46] perfectjitesh: it's the driver that controls that battery check... [19:46] TheDadLife: onboard intel [19:46] TheDadLife: he didn't know that that still is a vid card [19:47] Lunar_Lamp: Propably: unity --replace, but hard to say what will be effect [19:47] yes i installed gnome3 but after that a fresh installation of natty , using batty from lauunch date no problem , window 7 works fine . i hope it does not crash again : please god [19:47] Duka, #ubuntu-br for portuguese [19:47] doh [19:47] qin: looks like it would work in some circumstance, but didn't fix what I wanted unfortunately! === realloc is now known as dagdag [19:48] Lunar_Lamp: Dunno, I am on Lucid [19:48] So, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my server. However... when I select install, NOTHING happens. This server only has USB ports, so Ican only use USB keyboards. I have NO clue how I can get this darn server to realize I'm pressing enter to install! Any ideas? [19:48] hachya@ i will replace on experimental basis and see if it works fine , for the moment it is [19:48] hachya@ at the moment i am using the old one only [19:48] perfectjitesh sounds good [19:49] roasted_: How do you sec [19:49] perfectjitesh: it's kind of been a pain ever since its inception... [19:49] *select? [19:49] hi [19:49] qin, well I'm trying to press enter, but it's like it's dead. [19:50] hachya@ what has been the pain ? [19:50] qin, I can navigate up and down though and highlight other options. I just cant SELECT it. : [19:50] :( [19:50] roasted_: Does numLock work? [19:50] perfectjitesh: UNITY, ever since they started using it, in beta, and now even in live distro [19:50] yes qin [19:51] roasted_: And enter on numpad? [19:51] qin nothing [19:51] hachya@ if it crashes what do u suggest me moving back to 10.10 , will it be safe [19:51] roasted_: or better can you access bios [19:51] qin yes [19:51] Roasted theres a bios setting for enabling USB [19:52] perfectjitesh: not with unity.. [19:52] TheDadLife, then why does USB work except for hitting enter? [19:52] looks like the people who maintain our production server only _upgraded_ (w/o dist-upgrade) from hardy to lucid. i can't really change that right now, but i need to install an upstart 0.3 config for cron. as upstart 0.3 would not be able to determine the pid of forked/daemonized jobs i'm considering running cron -f. do you think this should work? (http://paste.debian.net/122594/) [19:53] (without making upstart block or something) [19:53] roasted_: Oh, thats cool, missing option? [19:53] i'm fearing i have to read the upstart 0.3 code to be sure :/ [19:53] roasted_: depends on when ur hitting it in the boot/post process [19:53] qin, what option? [19:54] hachya@ sorry i did not get u : i wanted to ask if i have the same problem again : should i switch to ubuntu 10.10 will that be safe [19:54] Hachya, I'm AT the ubuntu screen where it says install, try out, memtest, check cd, etc. [19:54] Hachya, it's not about "when I hit it." I'm already there in this case. I just can't hit enter to select my highlighted option. [19:54] suggest me android app : so that i can log in to this chat from my mobile [19:54] on somethings the tilde key will close the program in the event of a crash but it doesn't work on all open programs i have open [19:54] anyone? [19:54] roasted_: Is it Desktop or Server version? [19:54] server [19:55] roasted_, yeah in this case the USB may not be enabled in BIOS, which keeps 'Nix from detecting on boot... [19:55] qin, desktop, Edubuntu 10.04 [19:55] Harzilein: I'm looking, but #ubuntu-server or even #upstart might be better places to ask. [19:55] roasted_: had same problem with mine a while back [19:55] roasted_: Did you try mouse click? [19:55] Harzilein: I'm not too familiar with 0.3 upstart syntax myself though. [19:55] pici: thanks [19:55] Hachya, USB is enabled. I'm AT the screen. I booted to USB just fine. This happens whether Im using a live USB flash drive or a live CD. [19:55] perfectjitesh: it will be safe so long as you do NOT use Unity [19:55] Hachya, I. just. cant. select. anything. [19:55] I'm THERE - enter is just a dead key it seems. [19:56] roasted_: I thought this was about a keyboard not working? [19:56] Hachya, it is.... [19:56] Hachya, I cannot select enter. [19:56] roasted_: m. o. u. s. e. [19:56] the enter key isnt regestering. [19:56] well, I can, but I cant, its strange [19:56] hachya@ thanks a ton for the inputs , [19:56] roasted_: MOUSE button [19:56] at the language screen, enter registers. but at anything else below, it doesnt [19:56] perfectjitesh: no prob [19:56] does nohting [19:56] roasted_: Or [19:56] nothing [19:56] tried it all [19:57] roasted_: did u already select keyboard mapping? [19:57] Hachya, keyboard mapping? that's done in the installation. [19:57] I'm trying to get to the installation. [19:57] Is it safe to just rm files from ~/.local/share/Trash, or is there additional metadata kept somewhere? [19:57] roasted_: Alt-Ctrl-F1, login in and test [19:58] roasted_: this ^^^ [19:58] qin, does nothing === Luxe[away] is now known as Luxe [19:58] Im going to grab another keyboard to see... [19:58] suggest me android app : so that i can log in to this chat from my mobile [19:58] perfectjitesh, theres numerous irc clients for android [19:59] perfectjitesh, or use a ssh client, ssh to a linux box. run irssi, or weechat [19:59] roasted_: right, you are on in live session, sorry. Still, is it any pain to use mouse? [19:59] thanks dr_willis [20:00] looking forward to new ubuntu version, that has thunderbird I heard :) [20:01] qin, the mouse isnt usable.

[20:02] why can I not select enter?! [20:02] roasted_: F3 ? [20:03] qin, F keys work, just not in conjunction with ALT and CTRL [20:03] roasted_: thats keymap - F3 [20:03] ubuntu just froze while using shotwell, then teamviewer crashed, and then typing was impossible (menu bar was selected and you typed there sort of like holding Alt). any ideas?

[20:07] qin, sec, I just rebooted it out of frustration. :D [20:07] m4dc0d3r: How long has he been experiencing this issue? [20:07] my first idea for the freeze was that he ran out of ram without having a swap [20:07] edbian: just now [20:07] but it will probably come back [20:07] Hi, I'm trying to set up tunnelbroker IPv6 tunnel on my box. This is the error I get when I run sudo ifup he-ipv6: [20:07] duvel@yacht-master:~$ sudo ifup he-ipv6 [20:07] ioctl: No buffer space available [20:07] Failed to bring up he-ipv6.

[20:09] note that this started to occur while using teamviewer [20:09] roasted_: Choose Normal and hit [20:09] and continued when teamviewer was closed [20:09] roasted_: Or is it number menu? [20:09] qin, no number. and normal was already selected. I reselected, no dice.

People are moving stuff into the trash and leaving it. I'd like to automate removal of files older than 30 days from the trash. [20:17] Dr_Willis thanks for that, found out that somehow the HDD was mounted at another location then intended [20:17] bullgard4: why? [20:17] RyanP: I do not know a safe way to accomplish your task using a command-line command. [20:17] guntbert: "[22:17] bullgard4: why?" What do you refer to? [20:18] bullgard4: what would be the trouble with RyanP's method? [20:19] So many channels on this network, yet none of them has anything about the Office tool Word for Windows [20:19] guess you could point everyones trask to be some where in /tmp/ but that could be a security issue. [20:19] player3: What tool? [20:20] player3: what has that to do with ubuntu support? [20:20] *a [20:20] player3, ask in ##windows [20:20] bullgard4: What do you think the downsides of rming files from the Trash directory are? [20:20] RyanP, ive never seen any issues with it.. but i tend to only do it on flash drives. [20:21] thanks, BluesKaj [20:21] its really annoying how Nautiuls keeps sticking in trash on my cellphone and other flash drives. [20:22] hi, does the jabra skype headset can work? === eldorado is now known as ralch [20:22] Dr_Willis: Yes. The guy I share an office with said he thought there might be some metadata. Google didn't reveal anything. And yeah, getting .local directories everywhere can be annoying. [20:22] see you later people!!! === ralch is now known as eldorado [20:24] I was wondering if anyone has built E17 on their Ubuntu?? would like to ask you a ? [20:24] RyanP: I've never seen any documentation about "meta-data" regarding trash (although I have to admit i didn't search thoroughly :-)) [20:24] Kaa27: e17 is in repos, as far as I know [20:24] guntbert: Thanks. [20:25] Kaa27: Or PPA [20:25] qin: yes I know ... I like to build it with the latest updates [20:26] RyanP: and if there were some danger !trash would mention it :) [20:26] Hai guise, um does anyone here use Conky with Compiz on 11.04 (ubuntu classic)? [20:26] qin: The lib files changed from the later version of Ubuntu to the latest version [20:27] OQ [20:27] 2 [20:27] hi, does the jabra skype headset can work? [20:27] lol nice name pornoninja [20:28] wolfreak: not at all! refrain from such comments please [20:28] ive trouble with irc the chat terribly delayed [20:28] Kaa27: e17 build, would be hell of the task [20:28] ;] [20:28] qin: it's fun [20:28] hola [20:29] guntbert: lolwut? I'm referring to "pornoninja"'s name, unless you mean saying 11.04 classic is a offensive comment [20:29] pornoninja: can you change your nick to something more family friendly? [20:29] do i have to? [20:29] !guidelines > pornoninja [20:29] pornoninja, please see my private message [20:29] RyanP, theres metadata files in .trash also.. [20:29] wolfreak: that was what I was talking about, there is nothing "cool" in that nick [20:29] i wouldn't mess with the mods, mate. They got that hammer. [20:30] guntbert: ooohhh yes there is [20:30] but besides a simple controversial name, I didn't come here to troll.. Does anyone have conky with compiz? [20:30] anyone found their system to crash multiple times a day now when using the newest chromiun? === pornoninja is now known as candyninja [20:30] er, chromium [20:30] what is this WoW Trade chat? XD [20:30] candyninja: thx [20:30] wolfreak, conky should work fine with compiz [20:31] wolfreak: i have conky with compiz here. [20:31] but still i did not see anything offensive in that nick [20:31] Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [20:31] candyninja: Whats why you have used it. [20:31] candyninja: think it might have been the "porno" part... [20:32] Installed 11.04 on an NVIDIA RAID0, during install appeared to correctly find the striped drives. Once booted I get "no such device " [20:32] my system is crashing constantly lately and im not finding any useful information in kernlog or dmesg [20:32] ....just guessing... [20:32] Dr_Willis: Some reason I have compiz running and I try to run conky, and I get that infamous freeze lag when a Windows program froze back in the day and you could drag the window everywhere. http://i.imgur.com/4VyQj.png [20:32] hello everyone [20:32] candyninja: thank you for keeping the channel family friendly [20:32] np [20:32] back to support please Hachya [20:33] It would seem that GRUB2 can't find the correct device to boot from. I'm also having trouble mounting the filesystem to be able to make any changes. [20:33] guntbert: aye [20:33] kpartx and dmraid successfully see (and active) the device however. [20:33] Dr_Willis: I'm probably missing a command or something or something simple, but I can't quite figure out how to explain it in google, lol. [20:33] Anyone have any ideas on how to fix the issue?

[21:14] hey does anyone know how to get the ubuntu server installer to throw a more detailed message than "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda" [21:15] guys, why would grub choose a random drive to set the mount points, and not the drive it is installed on? [21:15] and is it easy to change? [21:15] ar0n: Why is a good question. It is easy to install grub on a certain hdd. Can you elaborate on your situation? [21:15] if i change teh drive boot order to #1 being the os drive, in bios, then it gets pissy, it chose to install on a old 320gb ide drive [21:15] edbian: yeah [21:16] ar0n: How many harddrives do you have. What is on each hdd? [21:16] edbian: i have 5 [21:16] ar0n: oh boy [21:16] 4 actually im sorry [21:16] ar0n: What OS's are installed. Please list all of them and what hdd they're on. [21:16] i had a botched install, of 9.04 today i chose to just go ahead and wipe and go to 11, so i installed, and chose the , delele old version install new version option [21:17] for whatever reason, it made the moint point my 320gb ide drive [21:17] ar0n: Please answer my question. [21:17] win 7 and same hd that ubuntu is on. [21:17] Hello. [21:18] hld on ill get the drive names in a second [21:18] everything is new and moved on this version, and im kinda a noob [21:18] ar0n: ubuntu does that a lot :) [21:19] can you tell me the terminal code to list alld rives [21:19] ?

[21:19] ok now just let me find where theh ell terminal is [21:19] hello everybody [21:20] jiteshsoni1990: It will use unity [21:20] seanscot_: edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [21:20] anomaliz: hi [21:20] I mean so that the home folder default is in a different location [21:20] I'm using Empathy for my yahoo account. I'm wondering why (this works on Yahoo Messenger BTW) can't I add my own account. [21:20] seanscot_: home folder is a different story. [21:20] sad bad experience using unity [21:20] ok edbian [21:20] ar0n: ok? [21:21] youw ant the drive name for the linux and win os AND the mount point? [21:21] jrib , any ideas ? [21:21] ar0n: I want all hdds and all OS's installed. What do you mean by mount point? [21:21] seanscot_: I told you how to change things like the music directory location. Why do you want to change the location of your HOME? [21:21] I want to make it the same home folder on a different partition as im using for windows [21:21] emm I guess your right jrib [21:22] I just need to change each folder to be the same as the windows one [21:22] grub, appears to want my 320gb drive to be the #1 in bios drive, to boot my os's, [21:22] seanscot_: you don't want to put your home on ntfs. But if you have things that just contain data (like music), that's ok. You can either edit the file I told you, or if you prefer, just create a symlink [21:22] aye how can I see my partition ext4 on window ? [21:22] oh [21:22] anomaliz: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&xhr=t&q=ext4+on+windows&cp=7&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&aq=0&aqi=&aql=&oq=ext4+on&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=fce33a84b0764b22&biw=1419&bih=823 [21:22] seanscot_: I think symlink will offer a nicer experience in this scenario [21:23] yeah? [21:23] thanks edbian [21:23] it does the same thing really then? [21:23] seanscot_: i have a custom mount point called /data and i just don't use home [21:23] seanscot_: I don't know what you mean by "the same thing". Same as what? [21:23] seanscot_: I symlinked my Desktop the other day. it is seamless [21:23] anomaliz: sure [21:23] What command should I run from the terminal to get my geForce 6600 video card to work on Natty? [21:24] how do you symlink? [21:24] edbian: /DEV/SDD has both os's on it [21:24] but I need another program because that program I have already used [21:24] ar0n: ok... None of the other hdds have an OS on them? [21:24] seanscot_: ln -s TARGET NAME (you will want to temporarily rename your current music directory and then create the symlink) [21:24] nope [21:24] ./dev/sda is the 320gb drive that i guess grub is on. [21:24] ar0n: Where is grub? [21:24] I cannot use it because it tells me I need to do administrator and I'm administrator [21:24] any links for how to jrib? im a bit thick lol [21:25] seanscot_: currently your music directory is ~/Music, correct? [21:25] why it did this i dunno, but since i chose the option in the isntaller to deete and reinstall, i saw it say something about "grub mount point" in the window for custom options [21:25] yeah I think so [21:25] seanscot_: do you have anything in it? [21:25] no [21:25] ar0n: What hdd has grub on it? What hdd do you want grub on? === sean is now known as Guest90912 [21:25] i wanted it to keep the same size partitions, from the previous install that wouldnt load, but for some reason it changed the grub moint point to the worst drive in the system [21:26] hi all. my xchat-gnome can't load: XChat CRITICAL *** default event text failed to build! [21:26] ar0n: Answer my question please. [21:26] i would liek grub on the /dev/sdd [21:26] seanscot_: ok, then delete it. What is the path to the music directory you want (the windows one)? [21:26] it is the drive that has ubuntu and windows [21:26] ar0n: Are you booted into ubuntu normally? [21:26] yes [21:26] ar0n: sudo grub install /dev/sdd [21:26] ar0n: easy then :) [21:26] hi... [21:26] it can be installed on two different drives [21:26] and not piss of each other? [21:27] i need that my script runs after dhclient [21:27] cause grub will find all os's on all drives correct? [21:27] ar0n: yep [21:27] how i set it? [21:27] damn, im really struggling keeping up with the convo in this room lol [21:27] ar0n: It should. If it does not update-grub may help [21:27] seanscot_: :) [21:27] seanscot_: ignore everything but the highlights :) [21:27] shouldnt installing grub be the newest version [21:27] ?

Where is your windows partition mounted? [21:29] sudo grub-install /dev/sdd [21:29] ? [21:29] dscastro: after you will get ip? [21:30] yep [21:30] ar0n: yeah [21:30] edbian: ok will reboot change in bios and give it a whirl, is it easy to remove grub from a drive? [21:30] er device = hd [21:30] ar0n: sure, IDK why you would bother though. [21:31] ar0n: hd ?

Used jockey to install the driver, but ifconfig -a does not show the wifi interface.. Is this a know problem? How may I fix it? [22:36] it has an option to MAKE DEFAULT, but it still bumps to hdmi [22:36] anyone happen to know if having dual monitors with different heights can cause problems? [22:36] no matter what i do [22:37] https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa [22:37] that one [22:37] Kamilion: why not just upgrade to natty, and get the kernel that way?

[22:38] nvidia doesn't say they support ubuntu 11.04 [22:38] Yea, apps are only really aware of desktop real-estate (which ubuntu tells them), not what is actually visible.

[22:39] keeps dropping connection [22:39] how did you install flash player fishscene? [22:40] Kamilion: I dunno, but this ppa might be cool: https://launchpad.net/~aaron-haviland/+archive/cuda-4.0 and to use the mainline ppa, just click on the packages you need, usually 2 headers packages, and an image package [22:40] And this blog post says I need 2.6.37 or above for a better ethernet driver http://blog.cryptohaze.com/2011/05/asus-1215n-cuda-and-setup-notes.html [22:40] Escherial: Unfortunately, I really have no idea.

[23:57] billy2007: You cannot use one wireless device for two connections at once. If you need to connect a device to a wireless network, surely you could do it directly, rather than trying to bounce it through your laptop?
