[00:00] edbian yes i do have a xorg.conf. the display works in recovery mode if your talking about from the cd. [00:01] mecheese: the liveCD is NOT recovery mode :) We need to remove xorg.conf (change it to backup.xorg.conf at least) [00:01] mecheese: Do you know how to do that from a liveCD or should I guide you? [00:02] edbian done [00:02] mecheese: reboot [00:03] edbian ok [00:03] mecheese: You edited the xorg.conf on the install and not on the liveCD right? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:05] hello [00:05] hi there [00:05] hi [00:06] anyone know what is a good nvidia card for displaying on a hdtv via component [00:06] lwizardl: -> either #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware [00:06] has anyone a clue on removing the proxy for apt [00:07] I had a question. I am running ubuntu 11.04, x64. Using VGA to double output to my tv (lcd). The scaling is wrong on the tv output, the top and left areas of the screen get cut off. Anyone know how to tell the system to measure the screen from the 2nd monitor rather than from the primary? [00:07] i'm tryinh to open the running evulution that won't pop up. why? [00:08] yaaase: use either a digital cable or, if applicable, the TV's auto-adjust feature [00:08] szal thank you [00:08] (TFT monitors have that, I'd be damned if TV sets didn't) [00:09] lol no x [00:09] yes [00:10] Hi, I was just wondering, what is the next version of Thunderbird, above 3.1.11, I think I got version 5 off Mozilla, it was a zip file, but it does show you how to install it. How do I install it? [00:10] no x at all [00:11] mecheese, did you upgrade ubuntu or something? [00:11] scoundrel50a: did you donwload a tar.gz file from mozilla.org (or something like the website) [00:11] i renamed my xorg.conf and now x doesn't start [00:11] sudokill I'm using lucid [00:11] From Mozilla [00:11] mecheese, why rename xorg.conf [00:11] and yes it was a tar.gz file [00:11] i tried upgrading and went back to lucid that's how it all started [00:11] scoundrel50a: do you HAVE to uswe the version from mozilla, or do you just want thunderbird 5? [00:12] sudokill: He had some legacy one. I told him to remove it for a bit. [00:12] oh ok [00:12] mecheese: what happens when you boot? [00:12] mecheese, is it even possible to go back a version? [00:12] edbian i did it now x doesn't run at all [00:12] mecheese: What happens when you boot? [00:12] kroq-gar78: I wante to try version 5, [00:12] sudokill I have the disk for lucid [00:12] kroq-gar78: I have the file on my desktop [00:13] edbian no x [00:13] mecheese, s its a clean install? [00:13] mecheese, edbian: no surprises here, since part of the process of installing the nVidia driver is blacklisting nouveau [00:13] mecheese: I know that. What do you see? [00:13] but what I do with it, I dont know [00:13] szal: We didn't install the nvidia driver [00:13] edbian: iirc, we did that yesterday [00:13] szal: He says he's using nouveau [00:13] scoundrel50a: ok open up a terminal and run the following command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable" [00:13] sudokill it's clean with a neuveau nvidia driver too [00:13] what is the proper way for flashing a SATA PCIe card BIOS? I've used a USB FreeDOS boot disk and the flash utility provided by the vendor, but the version of the BIOS on the SATA card doesn't actualy upgrade. Any idea why? [00:14] nouveau doesnt even need xorg.conf does it? [00:14] edbian i see a full screen terminal [00:14] the card in question is a JMB363 [00:14] mecheese: can you run startx ? [00:14] edbian, it's currently installing and hopefully there will no problems :) Fingers crossed :) [00:14] i'm tryinh to open the running evulution that won't pop up. why? [00:14] cyperbg: :D [00:14] scoundrel50a: it's safer (as in more stable probably) to get it from the ubuntu guys who did a few modifications to thunderbird and get auto-updates than get it from mozilla [00:14] I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me to adding a radio station to banshee on ubuntu. [00:14] sudokill: That's why I had him remove it [00:14] phretor: not a *buntu problem; ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or in ##hardware [00:14] mecheese, if its very clean install, if i was you id try another re-install might be quicker [00:14] edbian I don't know haven't tried it yet [00:14] mecheese: try it [00:15] graagonstruckt: go to the menu, then do File -> Add radio statino [00:15] kroq-gar78: I just did that, what next? [00:15] sudokill it would be the 6 or 7th reinstall [00:15] ok [00:15] scoundrel50a: then "sudo apt-get update" [00:15] mecheese: run startx [00:15] mecheese, :s no idea why it shouldnt work out the box [00:15] sudokill i'm very persistant [00:15] I try too install Backtrack on my LUbuntu 10.10, anyone can help me?? [00:16] backtrack is offtopic [00:16] afaik [00:16] scoundrel50a: then, once that's finished, run "sudo apt-get upgrade" [00:16] Guest87903: ask in the backtrack channel [00:16] Guest87903, but, what do you mean install backtrack IN lubuntu? [00:16] sudokill ya. the screen just goes "signal out of range" and I jump through hoops to get graphics. [00:16] scoundrel50a: and then you should have it installed [00:16] mecheese: run startx [00:16] sudokill: i mean install BT software [00:16] mecheese: What happens if you run startx [00:16] ActionParsnip: Okk sorry [00:17] edbian I'm about to see. [00:17] Guest87903, afaik a lot of the software isnt in the repos and youd have to compile from source. ask in backtrack or juts google it [00:17] kroq-gar78: ok,l its going the the upgrade now [00:17] scoundrel50a: cool just post back if any sort of problems, etc. [00:17] sudokill: Okk [00:18] kroq-gar78: ooh, that looks interesting.......I will let you know how I get on [00:18] thank you [00:19] going to have a play with it now [00:20] When I start a Game like Airstrike and all my screen turn to black and everything close...is it my graphic card the problem or my Computers?

I'm using centrify-express to integrate with Windows AD. I installed virtualbox in Ubuntu 10.04LTS and virtualbox is reporting I am not able to use USB because I'm not part of the "vboxusers" group. Does anyone know how to solve this? [00:31] edbian neither am i. I remember using some one line command to get it to work last time i needed to fix it. i think maybe lucid just worked. the previous versions were giving trouble like now. [00:31] what's the preferred way to install packages that require later versions of libc6? [00:32] edbian wait maybe if I install the driver before I update. I forgot I updated. [00:32] bazhang: does wubi come with the 11.4 iso or am I going to have to re-download the whole thing? [00:33] edbian I had thought that lucid worked for nvidia right after the install. [00:33] mecheese: I don't know. [00:33] maybe updates are making things hell in there. [00:33] edbian i don't know either. I know i'm about to shoot my ubuntu disk.

[00:37] I don't want X forwarding [00:37] goetter: Yes. So by local you mean the display physically connected to the remote machine? [00:37] Right.

[00:38] :( [00:38] Is there a way to get a list of active X displays and what is running inside them, to be sure I have the correct display identifier?

I expected the Installer to create it. [00:46] cyperbg1: Ok. yeah try it again [00:46] oope 192.168.0.2 [00:46] cyperbg1: If you choose 'use entire drive' it will create partitions for you [00:46] 127.0.0.1 try to connect to my server [00:46] xD [00:47] fjorgynn, please dont [00:47] fjorgynn: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?

[00:53] nvm! turns out I needed to recompile the vbox kernel driver (silly me), I forgot I had updated to the newest Kernel 2 hours ago.. [00:53] lol [00:53] Hi there, I've got a little problem permanently disabling my optical out, I can do it manually by "amixer set IEC 958 off" but would like to do it automatically on boot [00:54] what cli command starts ssh service ? [00:54] gnaddel: But that line at the end of /etc/rc.local [00:54] gnaddel: before the 'exit 0' [00:54] I've tried to add the line to /etc/rc.local but that doesn't seem to work edbian [00:54] gnaddel, can you disable it in BIOS? [00:54] gnaddel: It should... ? [00:54] edbian: so I choose Erase disk and Install Ubuntu and on the next step I select it says The entire disk will be used but below that it also says: 1 partition will be deleted. Why? [00:55] cyperbg1: The partition left from the last failed install. [00:55] I deleted everything after the fail attempt [00:55] cyperbg1: Use gparted on the liveCD to get a look if you want. [00:55] I used it [00:55] edbian, yeah that what google told me, doesn't work though ;) [00:55] cyperbg1: Look at it in gparted? Does it say 'unallocated' ? [00:55] yes [00:55] cyperbg1: then IDK. Are you installing it to the wrong HDD ? [00:55] I deleted all the partitions after the fail attemmp [00:56] nope [00:56] Don't think I can disable it in the macbooks efi (or whatever the bios replacement is properly called) [00:56] cyperbg1: IDK [00:56] th Installer have inbuilt parition tool [00:56] if I select it there are no partitions [00:56] but it still says 1 will be deleted [00:56] cyperbg1: IDK. strange [00:56] could it be that the device gets somehow reactivated on login? [00:56] gnaddel, or you can choose to blacklist the kernel driver [00:57] the Advanced Partition tool says: Device: dev/sdb Free space 7790 [00:57] gnaddel: Maybe, but I don't that that would happen after the script. [00:57] and there is only 1 active button: New partition table [00:58] cyperbg1: It's probably just a bug. [00:58] mixmasterxp no [00:58] ok I will continie [00:58] dli, i think that would be a little bit extreme, I still want to be able to use it when I need it [00:59] vibhav, pardon?

[01:18] stunts513, more details would get a better answer [01:18] Can I delete the 1mb partition labeled as SYSTEM RESERVED? [01:18] sloale, usually, it's not a problem, the wired one is handled by dhcp or static IP [01:18] there is no flag on it that states it to be of type BOOT [01:19] Ok if I Try to boot from cd, the graphic card goes way outta refresh rate range and screen starts flickering b4 any text comes up about the boot or a bootscreen [01:19] sloale, if you still have no idea, do something like 'ip add list', it display a list containing wired IP, netmask, you can ping within that subnet [01:20] And now iy seems like it locked up caus not even the numlock is responding [01:20] Mixmasterxp: why not make an extended partition & put some partitions on it? *buntu shouldn't have a problem booting from tha [01:20] t [01:20] sloale, or, do something like: netstat -n|less === Alternative is now known as Guest24970 === Guest25898 is now known as Clouse === plustax is now known as THUNDERHOSE [01:22] stunts513, if you know your video card, try to disable Kernel Mode setting from kernel cmdline [01:22] how would one delete a partition and then expand the existing ext4 partition?

[01:24] nitrohax, you booted the live cd to do this? you would need to unmount anything to resize it [01:24] The configuration could not be saved: you are not allowed to modify the system configuration [01:24] what a fail [01:24] The whole reason I'm doing this is cause when I upgraded my dostro I crashed the debian os [01:24] stunts513, just remove 'quiet splash' add something like 'i915.modeset=0' or 'radeon.modeset=0', depends on your video card [01:25] bazhang, no i'm on the installed HDD.

[01:29] Or... at least determine if there is another hardware requirement I am not meeting? [01:29] bob_, installed from where, which driver, which card [01:29] dli: nmap -sP 10.1.1.0/24 :) so stoked! === gpc is now known as IdleOne [01:29] your clue about netstat led me to it [01:30] It is the nVidia GeForce4 440 MX [01:30] can i have a split screen in gnome terminal [01:30] I installed the nvidia-current drivers earlier with some help here [01:30] We installed it via tty, using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current or something near that [01:30] tried cli adduser: it didn't like the . in the username [01:31] sloale, still silly, if it's static IP, you should already know, if it's dhcp, dhcpd usually records it in syslog [01:31] still a fail though as the gui said that was ok [01:31] Ok I ttys booting without splash screen and now it shows some text for a half second then refresh rate goes nuts [01:31] Tryd* [01:31] stunts513, sounds like KMS [01:31] What is kms [01:31] stunts513, just disable it [01:32] stunts513, I already mentioned it 'kernel mode setting' [01:32] Sry I'm doing this from iPod [01:32] I heard things can get corrupted [01:32] Is it recommended I share a ntfs storage partition between ubuntu and windows?

[01:37] Meshelton: ask away [01:37] Ok so I found a script that will automatically rip a dvd when you put it in a drive [01:37] which is pretty cool cause I'm putting together a media server [01:38] ActionParsnip: I'm used to having a seperate partition for my storage, something outside of the C drive [01:38] the issue is that the script automatically takes the name of the disc for the mkv file it eventually creates [01:38] Meshelton, whats the question [01:38] I was wondering if there was a way for me to make the script prompt the user for the title of the movie [01:39] Meshelton, use ogmrip instead [01:39] ok i'll check it out [01:40] Meshelton, many nice presets with numerous options [01:40] Meshelton: that's more of a question for the author of the script than for a general support hub [01:40] !info ogmrip [01:40] ogmrip (source: ogmrip): Application for ripping and encoding DVD.

Ubuntu indicates Disabled due to hardware switch. Wireless button on device shows blue (functional). What more do I need to provide (clueless newbie, sorry)? [02:03] mlybrand, did you try turning the hw switch off then back on, there was a bug I had on my laptop similar (different chipset though); also, is it a hidden essid or not [02:03] mlybrand: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? [02:03] mlybrand, which atheros precisely, please [02:04] ActionParsnip, hold please. [02:05] ActionParsnip, that command shows three items, lo, eth0, wlan0 [02:05] all three show interface does not support scanning [02:05] wlan0 further shows network is down [02:06] bazhang, hold on while I find out exactly which Atheros [02:06] szal, K, now Ubuntu won't start. :( [02:07] this is reminding me why I have stayed away from Linux === josh__ is now known as joshlegs [02:08] Ok I'm back [02:08] If I ssh into ubuntu will i see the output of a script that is constantly running?

You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [02:09] Atheros is AR5001 [02:09] bob_: define 'won't start' [02:09] szal, stuck at the ubuntu splash screen [02:09] bazhang, Atheros AR5001 [02:09] bob_: press Esc & see what the messages say [02:10] szal, it must be locked up, Esc does nothing, let me boot holding down Esc [02:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1744471 mlybrand [02:11] there's a little problem, I tried the following commands: [02:11] bazhang, sudo rfkill unblock wifi ?? [02:11] bob_, you need shift to get to grub not esc [02:11] mlybrand, thats what the thread suggests [02:12] okay. Let's see what happens. [02:12] bazhang, yep, i used Shift.., it seems to be in an infinite loop, messages keep displaying, but moving too fast to see what they say, they are scrolling too fast [02:12] xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800 --rate 60.1 and then separely, xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 --rate 59.9 --left-of LVDS1 [02:13] it didn't work, it messed up both the screens and I blindly typed xrandr to reset the screens [02:13] dli: soo I have tried a few things u told and no luck sofar [02:13] it worked fine when I only set one screen, and it cloned the display [02:14] bazhang, szal, got it to stop scrolling... says fail next to "Stopping automatic crash report generation", ... rest says OK... Does say "Stopping System V initialisation compatibility" [02:14] how do i make the files a iso so i can put it on virtualbox [02:14] bazhang, SWEEET. Worked like a charm. [02:14] Bi0haz4rd, what files [02:14] for ubuntu [02:15] Bi0haz4rd, what file for ubuntu [02:15] it gives me a RAR file [02:15] i have ubuntu on a cd [02:15] bazhang, good tips for getting up to speed with all the command line commands available. Any tutorials, or the like? [02:15] but i want to run ubuntu through virtual box [02:15] Bi0haz4rd, you dont extract the iso, you use the iso as is for vbox [02:15] does anyone here know how I can start a vncserver session that includes using my nvidia drivers? [02:16] i have a error now that says failed to open a session for the virtual machine ubuntu [02:17] mlybrand, thats a pretty broad subject, I usually just "item name ubuntu" in a search engine, and it leads directly to ubuntuforums posts [02:17] Bi0haz4rd, it does not use rar. dont extract from iso [02:17] bazhang, what did you search for this time, for example. you found that pretty fast. === THUNDERHORSE is now known as plustax [02:18] mlybrand, atheros 5001 11.04 [02:18] anybody useing flush torrent [02:18] ? [02:18] dee27, what is that [02:18] bittorrent [02:18] client [02:18] dee27, unless you mean flux [02:19] nah is called flush [02:19] dee27, from where [02:19] dli: if The os is booting while gfx card is screwed up, is there a chance I can ssh into the live os and get a copy of it's startup log [02:19] bazhang, hahahahhaa. you get better results than I did. I bow to your superior search ability :) Thanks again. [02:19] in the ubuntu software if u type flush it would pop up [02:19] mlybrand, glad its working [02:20] bob_: do you get a login prompt? [02:20] dee27, its simply called flush, whats the question about it [02:20] szal, nope, just an infinite loop. I am starting the reload. Will use the steps you suggested yesterday first thing after installing [02:20] thats what i said [02:20] szal, hopefully that will do the trick. You were wanting me to do the nvidia-96 instead of nvidia-current.. maybe that was the issue [02:20] flush [02:21] dee27, whats the question about it [02:21] Sorry I lagged out [02:21] is anybody having problems with it?? [02:21] dee27, never used it, transmission works here [02:21] sval, if this still doesn't work, I am going to grab a newer video card [02:21] bob_: that's my guess too, especially since BluesKaj failed to explain what he meant when he said that 'nvidia-current' is supposed to pull in different driver versions according to the card in use [02:22] Can the gtk 2 and gtk 3 libraries co-exist on the same system? [02:22] dee27, what are *your* precise problems with it [02:22] sval, hopefully third reload is the charm :) [02:22] Ycarene, using the gnome3 PPA?

[02:23] Yeah [02:23] dont start at all [02:23] i think it has a bug [02:23] Ycarene, thats not supported and breaks things. best to avoid [02:23] Also, is there a way to get the old nvidia monitor controls from 10.04? [02:23] sval, too late, I have started the OS install, no biggie, it was a fresh install before [02:23] !gnome3 | Ycarene [02:23] Ycarene: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [02:23] damn [02:23] lol, ok [02:24] bob_: and clean your glasses and/or learn to tab nicks :P [02:24] Ok my laptop won't boot into live os, igbo take off quiet splash, it displays about 2 seconds of readout then the screen starts flickering from refresh rate going outta range, help [02:24] dee27, what about other torrent clients, like transmission etc [02:25] szal, yeah, this stuff is very new to me. I always get frustrated when I install Linux such that I abandon it. I am hoping to get there this time :) [02:25] trans [02:25] work good [02:25] dee27, have you tried starting flush from the terminal to see the errors [02:25] Hello, I'm trying to get my miniHD-out to work on my macbook. i'm running 11.04. [02:25] yea i did that see alot of errors [02:25] Also, is there a way to get the old nvidia monitor controls from 10.04? [02:25] dee27, so file some bugs? [02:25] pappa_bear, what is the name of the old ones [02:25] i post the bugs in launchpad. [02:26] flush was working fine couple of days ago,and now is broken lol [02:26] dee27, so follow the bug reports [02:27] dee27, if transmission is working though why not just use that [02:27] idk trans i like flush lol [02:27] szal, this better? [02:28] bob_: yep :) [02:28] szal, ahh.. i was doing sval :) lol, sorry about that [02:34] Hello, I'm trying to install 11.04 on an nilfs partition but the installer isn't giving me any options to do it. It want's to format the partitions itself and has no NILFS2 support. Does anyone know a workaround? === KmE is now known as KmE_ [02:38] Ok so.

[02:39] linsys [02:39] Do you know what chipset it is? [02:40] sudo lspci [02:40] no [02:40] Right [02:40] you have a guide.. but dont understand what it says? you mean to say? [02:40] is it a usb one? [02:40] or an internal one? [02:40] its usb and dr_willis: ya i have a guide and do know what to do [02:40] right. [02:40] hop onto terminal and type lsusb [02:40] You might need to do that as root... [02:41] worked [02:41] that should give you a list of usb devices plugged into your computer [02:41] and it should list the chipset of the wireless thingy. [02:42] raling rt7 [02:42] ? [02:42] ralink RT7 [02:42] sounds about right. [02:42] hi everyone, i screwed up my routing and now my dns doesn't work. example, i had to find the ip address for irc server rather than typing in its name. [02:43] kk now what?

[02:45] why is it supported when it doesn't even have disk checking tools yet? [02:45] i'm scared to use it [02:46] perfect thanks [02:47] Chakravanti, I understand it is not yet very stable. [02:47] :/ [02:47] Help booting live cd, refresh rate goes way out there on gfx card, makes screen flicker black screen [02:48] VxQe, that's what I'm saying! That's why I want to use nilfs but it's like ubuntu just wants to hump btrfs [02:48] for SSD's [02:49] Everyone wants btrfs. [02:49] :/ [02:49] Chakravanti: I used it and found it slower, but i've no knowledge of it so maybe there is something more to it [02:49] Because it is getting huge backing from companies, I believe.

Could anyone would be patient enough to tell me how to install it? [03:23] ActionParsnip: i can't really do a liveCD right now, it took A LOT to actually install and make ubuntu usable. I had to patch the kernel from xorg-edgers (2.5.39-3) with fglrx to allow switchable graphics to work. If not, I could use the vgaswitcheroo, which wouldn't let me shutdown/reboot/logout without hard resetting. I can tell you though, i didn't notice this issue before patching the kernel. [03:23] 2.6** [03:24] szal, okay, it looks like the nvidia-96 package is broken [03:24] szal, the first thing I did was a sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 and the package returns broken packages [03:25] szal, so I am assuming I am out of luck, will probably need to report it as a bug, no? [03:25] Pwnna: maybe it's the 3rd party kernel you are using [03:25] ActionParsnip: xorg-edger? [03:25] well .38 wouldn't work [03:25] it crashes with my graphics card [03:25] --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1739199 [03:25] Last time I tried nvidia 96, before I got rid of that hardware that needed it: [03:26] Pwnna: could try oneiric to test [03:26] It crashed Xorg. [03:26] It was 4 years ago now, that the driver went from "works" to "crashes Xorg". [03:26] And each year thereafter, nvidia updated it to crash new versions of Xorg. [03:26] Pwnna: that video chip switching stuff always causes grief [03:26] yeah, probably will need to just get a newer vid card [03:26] ActionParsnip: idk if that would work with fgrlx [03:26] Which card? [03:27] Is there a software to see the power(watt) of my computer? [03:27] DanaG, mine? nVidia GeForce4 440 MX [03:27] powertop is one, but only when on battery power. [03:27] redmorning: No. Go buy a kill-a-watt. [03:27] actionparsnip, I have an app I would like to run that's not available from the repo. It's written in java and comes in a tarball. Could you kindly tell me how to set up the permissions of the folder where it needs to be installed? it's supposedly to be very simple. [03:27] ActionParsnip: from weeks upon weeks of research, I've only been able to find that 2.6.39 works [03:27] yeah, same here. [03:28] also idk if it's the video switching stuff that's causing the issue of the memory [03:28] it seems possible, but still somewhat unrelated [03:28] bob_: er, meant that for you. geforce *cough*oneplusoneequalsFOUR* MX, mobile. [03:28] Pwnna: could install the 3.0.5 kernel from the kernel ppa to test [03:28] DanaG, yeah, this is an older machine, but sounds like I will be better off replacing it [03:28] ActionParsnip: would that require me to patch again? [03:28] bob_: you can get decent nvidia video cards for the price of a 6 ack :) [03:29] pack* [03:29] sure [03:29] Pwnna: its a seperate kernel, no patching. Just install the packages [03:29] The machine I had that in was a laptop with something I'd call "crap²". [03:29] P4 is crap, and Celeron is Crap. P4-Celeron? That's crap². [03:29] DanaG: p4 isn't crap [03:29] ActionParsnip, any thoughts on the minimum requirements I need to look for on a new card? [03:29] yeah stuff get's obsolete fast [03:29] Well, this was a 1.6. [03:30] Anyone familiar to know where I'm supposed to install an app in Linux? [03:30] And a P4 is the worst thing you could ever put in a laptop. [03:30] DanaG: my media pc has a 1.6Ghz Semperon AM2 [03:30] ActionParsnip: yeah but i had to do all this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10996043#post10996043 to get it working [03:30] !ot [03:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:30] Is there any realtime-sync solution, sort of like dropbox? [03:30] P4 = too hot [03:30] But local, not cloud. [03:30] And Celeron doesn't have SpeedStep. [03:30] ActionParsnip, thanks [03:31] Any idea why windows would give a BSOD right after boot screen and suddenly restarts? I just installed ubuntu on another partition [03:31] Heh, I have a 17" ze5500 sitting here in my closet -- it has a desktop P4 in it. Works perfectly, but is garbage. [03:31] I'm wondering: who would have a use for such a beast, assuming I gave it to them for free? [03:31] DanaG: Get on topic please [03:31] (8:30:31 PM) DanaG: Anyway, I'm trying Unison. [03:31] (8:30:39 PM) DanaG: Is there any realtime-sync solution, sort of like dropbox? [03:32] ActionParsnip, ok, I sure hope I can get away with a lesser card than that.. those are still >$300 :) [03:32] Pwnna: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-linux-kernel-3-0-rc2-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal worth a try, it can be removed [03:32] But anyway, yeah, back on topic now.

[03:40] sure that would work [03:41] you could; just put them into separate folders and create launchers for each [03:41] and of course make sure they're not set to update because then you'd just have 2 of the same browsers [03:41] !info firefox maverick [03:41] good deal. i just need it to be able to run on my seperated x screens [03:41] firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla.

Ive been testing it and now it keeps crashing after a new update and wont let me into my normal login for some reason :/ [04:38] guest_, you mean LightDM? In that case, it should be sudo apt-get remove lightdm, and then dpkg --reconfigure gdm [04:39] guest_: Are you using 11.10 ? If so ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:39] Kreative`, o wow...my bad [04:39] Haha, it happens. [04:39] is a 73.78% a c or a c-? [04:39] makes sense if they named it my way though ahahha [04:40] c- [04:40] py9371: Depends on the scale the professor is using. This is offtopic [04:40] Any one know anything about Making a splash screen for kubuntu ? [04:40] Kreative`, shit...umm, since i can only get into a guest account apparently i cant sudo? [04:40] Well, you kindave have to to set gdm back to default.. :P [04:41] Though, removing lightdm should set it as default [04:41] If you have no other dm installed, that is [04:41] nope just lightdm [04:41] though wouldnt removing it require sudo? [04:41] This should all be in #ubuntu+1 [04:41] Ah, yes it would [04:42] lol [04:42] um using 11.04 [04:42] damn....there has to be a way. [04:42] I have tried downloading a a tar file changing all the permissions then changing out the pictures and renaming the new pictures to what the old ones are still nothing [04:47] bobweaver: What are you trying to do? [04:47] edbian, tring to make a splash screen for kubuntu [04:48] bobweaver: never done that :( [04:50] edbian, thanks [04:50] edbian, thanks any ways [04:56] hello [04:57] i've opened a pdf in gimp with the intentions of editing it, but nothing shows up when i click [04:57] im trying to type and nothing shows up [04:58] does anybody have experience with this? [04:58] so i feel like a total n00b for asking this, but... somehow i just double clicked and lost all the titlebars for all my windows... how do i get them back? [04:59] fenjamin, why not use pdfedit [04:59] !info pdfedit | fenjamin [04:59] fenjamin: pdfedit (source: pdfedit): Editor for manipulating PDF documents. In component universe, is optional.

[05:00] 11.04, but not unity [05:00] Skudd, what window decorator are you using [05:01] i honestly can't remember and it's late enough in the day that i don't even remember how to check... i'm just trying to get a server migration done so i can get to bed :-/ [05:02] oo [05:02] ok [05:02] Sup folks [05:02] bazhang: thanks [05:02] what the hell [05:02] Skudd, what does alt f2 metacity --replace do [05:02] what's sshd's package name? [05:02] linux is so confusing =) [05:02] I just jumped on ubuntu today! [05:02] all these different pkg managers [05:02] is it possible to copy my HD content to a new hd, replacing where my ubuntu stand? [05:03] afeijo, clone? [05:03] hi,everybody, new here [05:03] afeijo: yup, clone.. [05:03] bazhang, yes [05:03] bazhang: that fixed it [05:03] thanks [05:03] afeijo, /msg ubottu clone or perhaps clonezilla [05:03] is it the app name, clone? [05:03] afeijo, no [05:04] !clone > afeijo [05:04] afeijo, please see my private message [05:04] nezZario, apt-cache search ssh [05:04] cool [05:04] thanks [05:04] so I use it to install all I have to the new hd, then I copy my home folder? [05:04] pls need help: "docky requires compositing to work pls enable compositing and restart docky" [05:04] afeijo, its a clone, so it will copy everything [05:05] wsagent, alt f2 compiz --replace does what [05:05] bazhang, here what ubottu sent me "To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing)" [05:05] replicate packages dont sound as a full copy [05:06] bazhang: pdfedit is hard to use! [05:06] afeijo, yes, thats different than clonezilla , which I also said [05:06] the UI is nuts [05:06] how painful is it to upgrade from ubuntu 8 to 10? [05:06] or 11... [05:06] bazhang if i do that my theme get screwed [05:06] bazhang, ubottu knows nothing about clonezilla [05:06] goetter, which version of 8, there is not an 8 [05:06] hardy. 8.04 [05:06] afeijo, thats right, go to their website [05:07] !upgrade | goetter please read this [05:07] goetter please read this: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:07] bazhang: what i am doing now is , sudo metacity --replace and logout & login [05:07] wsagent, there is no reason for sudo there [05:07] wsagent, use alt f2 [05:08] Is there no upgrade path from 8.04->10.04? [05:08] bazhang, nice, I will test it [05:08] goetter, you read the link? yes there is [05:08] bazhang, I will purchase another 1 tb HD, not the same model, no problem right? [05:08] afeijo, how can I guarantee that? thats hardware so no idea [05:08] hehe [05:09] I'll copy my linux partitions and see what happens [05:09] bazhang: I did compiz --replace and my its refresh everything on my desktop [05:09] Link mentions 8.04 LTS only (Hardy Heron). I don't think I have Hardy Heron because I've never heard the word Heronbefore. [05:09] wsagent, so restart the dock now [05:09] why does it say there is no such device eth0 [05:09] when i clearly have an eth0 [05:09] when I, # ifup eth0 ? [05:09] nezZario, what is "it" [05:10] ubuntu. [05:10] afeijo, like 'rsync -avxAH', you need to correct UUIDs after that, in /etc/fstab and grub [05:10] Also, this will need to be entirely commandline; the server is headless. [05:10] bazhang : thanks a lot [05:10] nezZario, first, its very hard to read when you hit enter every two words, second, why are you root [05:10] Without optical drive. [05:10] well I put the # in there for demonstration purposes [05:10] goetter, then read the server instructions on the link [05:12] Hmm.. [05:13] Thank you. [05:14] ActionParsnip: k i'm compiling the kernel using kernel check.. would i need to still patch it with my old patch?

[05:16] wait.. [05:17] i'm really confused now.. [05:17] well, the ubuntu installer appeared to download packages from the network configuration I gave it [05:18] it booted, and I have no network [05:18] and it's acting like I'm lying to it when I'm attempting to bring up the network [05:19] Has anyone tried Gnome 3 to replace unity yetÉ [05:20] Has anyone tried Gnome 3 to replace unity yet?

Je ne suis pas con [05:30] is there a command to change the country code used in /etc/apt/sources.list? [05:31] hi all [05:31] dibblego, a command? like sed? [05:31] bazhang: wasn't sure if there was anything more specific than sed [05:31] dibblego, much easier to select in synaptic package manager [05:31] bazhang: I want to script it [05:32] dibblego, you could certainly edit the sources.list that way though [05:33] why, why is ubuntu renaming my interfaces randomly? [05:34] hi [05:34] hi hamed [05:37] Could anyone tell me how I could view / read .code files?

(Ubuntu 11) [05:56] ubuntu always asking for distro upgrade.... I am using ubuntu 10.10 with macubuntu theme and lots of apps installed in it ... will there be any problem in upgrading the distro ? === plustax is now known as RAGEsauce [06:00] wsagent_, it completly depend on your machine.. I did the upgrade from the 10.10 to 11.04 and unable to boot to the machine.. If you hate unity or do't want to redo all the installation, I will suggest to stick to 10.10. [06:00] it's my personal opnion [06:01] abhijeet: really i hate unity and Love ubuntu 10.10 and just wondering is there any possibility to disable the distro upgrade reminders [06:02] ubuntu will stick on to unity or will they upgrade to gnome 3? [06:02] gnome 3 i guess? shouldnt they? [06:03] vikapi, ubuntu will have unity as default but gnome 3 will be there [06:03] vikapi: 11.10 uses gnome 3 === sweetandy is now known as DizzyLizzy [06:03] unity and gnome3 are almost similar.. will one be able to make out the difference?? [06:03] wsagent_, I have no idea how to stop it .. guys any suggestion how to stop the auto upgrade [06:04] what's the ubuntu way to do "init 3"? === captainkrtek is now known as Krtek|Offline [06:04] bazhang: we were discussing in the other chan.. Do you have cats? === joako__ is now known as joako_ === Krtek|Offline is now known as Captainkrtek [06:07] Fresh install of 11.04. How do I turn off this bleeding eye-candy [06:07] I can't find any compiz or desktop-effects settings anywhere [06:07] As far as I can tell there's no easy way to make Ubuntu run in text-only mode, is that correct? [06:07] Anybody! Does anyone know What the samba-client package is for? I know cold answer that it is a virtual package, but what it actually can do? What is the difference between it and the samba package? [06:09] joako_, you are wrong ! but depend on your ubuntu expertise this task may be easy or hard for you [06:09] Besogon, as far as i know samba is the actual server and samba client is so you can log onto windows fileservers [06:10] I'm interest if samba-client package allows make shares? [06:10] HackNewton, In EVERY OTHER linux you can type "init 3" or "telinit 3" to go to commandline only/ no graphics mode. From what I've been able to gather, it seems the closest in Ubuntu is to RESTART with the kernel flag "text" [06:10] eagleserver, [06:10] Besogon, No it's the client. You would want the samba server to do that. [06:10] where would I get the source for the 2.6.32-29-generic kernel? [06:10] DizzyLizzy, install ccsm from packet manager [06:11] joako_: not sure how to go back gui but alt -f2 [06:11] joako_, ok. then I'll use samba server [06:11] lintux, But the entire point is I am running ubuntu inside a virtual machine. I want to disable the GUI to save memory. Pressing alt-f2 will only swtich to a text console, the gui is still running. [06:12] oh [06:12] well, what's the funny little name for ubuntu 10.04 ? [06:12] joako_ you can use recovery mode [06:12] hardy, lucid, ? [06:12] Maverick meerckat [06:13] ? [06:13] brainwave92, But why do I need to reboot the system. In every other linux you can stop and start the GUI at will. [06:13] joaka_: If you can do a new install then use the server version and install minimal-virtual [06:14] jlindstorff, its gonna be simpler than that! [06:14] joako_ i did a hack once to start in cli and switch to gui when i want [06:14] what i did then was move the script which started the gdm out of its folder... [06:15] and all i needed to do to run the gui was start the script [06:15] * Kreative` is away: Away [06:15] i bet even ubuntu has an easy system to d othat [06:16] nezZario, lucid lynx it seems [06:16] joako, "sudo service gdm stop" to stop it temporarily. What version of Ubuntu are you running (not sure it matters)? Check the file /etc/init/gdm.conf and see if you can disable the upstart process from there (not sure it applies/works). [06:17] uh, seriously? [06:17] where do I find kernel sources for this kernel, 2.6.32-29-generic ? [06:17] kernel.org doesn't have it [06:19] nezZario, should be able to get them with apt-get [06:19] joako, you might be able to disable gdm by renaming the init script, like /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.disabled something else to test anyways. [06:20] eagleserver: any idea what the kernel source pkg's look like? e.x apt-get source ...?? [06:20] trying to find one, but not finding them [06:21] good day [06:22] i just found this variable.. make it work for you perhaps. kernel-source-2.4.27 [06:22] nezZario: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-headers-2.6.32-29-generic [06:22] China [06:22] !kernel | nezZario [06:22] nezZario: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [06:22] chinese [06:23] !chinese | yinee [06:23] yinee: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn /join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk [06:23] I don't want the header files [06:23] thank you ubottu [06:23] I want the full source [06:23] I need to recompile the ufs support [06:24] nezZario: the link ubottu will help [06:26] Anyone remember where Xauthority file is meant to be?

[09:00] bazhang: maybe its just this dropbox repo...? anyway i just wanted to upgrade from 10 to 11 [09:01] iceroot: xen seems pretty dead these days on any linux [09:01] Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg <-- thats the problem hroi [09:01] nicofs, do you have two wireless cards? [09:01] ikonia: so i guess i should use kvm [09:01] iceroot: seems to be the way development is going [09:02] ikonia: any alternatives? (not vmware, vbox) [09:02] iceroot: kvm is very very good [09:03] nicofs, also are you using wpa/wpa2? you want only wpa or wpa2 [09:04] bobweaver, WLAN, LAN and mobile broadband - and as for wpa/wpa2: i don't know about that for mobile broadband... [09:04] ikonia: a great as it seems kvm is using full-virtualization. need something fast for io-devices [09:04] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645294/ [09:04] c u [09:04] bazhang: I ran it again... this time with the aptitute gui closed... so it could get a lock [09:04] bazhang: I get more than one fail to get...

[09:17] <`ph8> does anyone know how i can refresh my /dev/disk/by-uuid? i've just done some formatting and want to setup fstab by UUID, but i don't want to reboot [09:17] senjai: colortail does already realtime follow seperate logs (like rss) yes [09:18] iceroot, Ubuntu comes packaged with default software and drivers. Some of which may not be compatabile with other devices. [09:18] aum I've used unetbootin and it worked fine [09:18] lotuspsychje, I'm just not interested. [09:18] `ph8: can you remove the traling ` please? also you can use sudo blkid to get the uuid [09:18] HackerII, your name really? [09:18] `ph8: sudo blkid -g && sudo blkid [09:18] iceroot: unless there is a specific device in that system that is not in the other it should at least boot allowing you to make minor changes to tweak it [09:18] aum http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [09:19] how i make my ubuntu machine in wifi hotspot [09:19] Senjai: it's a nickname, let it go [09:19] <`ph8> thanks llee [09:19] ikonia: but the installer is setting special things in configs if there is a "special" hardware? [09:19] <`ph8> * llutz [09:19] iceroot: shouldn't do [09:19] ikonia: e.g. ext4 optimazing when using a ssd [09:19] iceroot: the installer is very generic [09:19] guys is there another channel for ubuntu development? The ubuntu-beginners-dev is too silent and very few members, i am not gttng desired help [09:19] graalgonstruckt:it should yes [09:19] <`ph8> ah i think the problem is, sdc and sdd used to be in a RAID configuration, so blkid shows them with the same UUID [09:20] <`ph8> strange! [09:20] graalgonstruckt: thats what backup progs do [09:20] brainwave92: pick a bug on launcpad.net and try to fix it [09:20] Is there a channel that specializes in mobile internet related problems? or an expert around?

[09:26] i have to type the command sudo wvdial netconnect,everytime i connect to the internet through my wireless modem.i want it connected,when i insert the modem without typing that command.help me. [09:26] !ext3 [09:26] ext3 is the default filesystem on older versions of Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [09:27] how can the partition type be different from the type? @_@ [09:28] lotuspsychje, Nepomuk does not support Ubuntu 11.04 natty. [09:32] angheloko: partition id has nothing to do with the filesystem, its just an id [09:33] llutz, it means that my external HD is ext3 then? but the partition ID is just HPFS/NTFS?

[10:44] so i should apt-get remove apache2.2-common then?

It's a Core 2 Duo P7350, it's 64 bit for sure, but it's not i686 right? [10:46] why isn't there a detailed guide for removing lamp? [10:47] crackerjackz: LAMP bundle? [10:47] ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=36750 [10:47] asdjaputra, i dunno i ran sudo apt-get install tasksell then sudo tasksel install lamp-server [10:48] crackerjackz: sudo tasksel, then pick Web server, SQL, etc [10:49] Dasc: Sounds like your graphics driver module needs to be updated to match the kernel maybe. Especially if you had a manufacturer downloaded driver before the update. [10:49] hello guys [10:49] I have a huge red "1" up left on my screen [10:49] asdjaputra, none of those are listed [10:50] it says choose software to install... if i select lampserver will it just reinstall it and fix it? [10:50] DistroJockey: Hmmmm, but I'm able to get on to the login state though, with the mouse and everything [10:50] (even though its not uninstalled yet) [10:50] uname -a outputs x86_64, so i dont get why it complains about i686 [10:50] Er, hey chaps, I have a giant red "1" in the top left of my screen, its in a red box. [10:50] Dasc: Pretty sure the video mode/driver used swaps at login. [10:51] DistroJockey: can it be the gdm? [10:51] crackerjackz: reinstalling or removing and installing will likely not fix anything. How is it broken? [10:51] hello everyone [10:51] DistroJockey: think you can guide me through updating the video driver? I have an nvidia graphics card 8600GT to be exact [10:52] I wish to thank you for the help you provided me some time ago, thanks [10:52] asdjaputra: you want me to past what comes up when I type in gdm? [10:52] Dasc: or gdm3 [10:52] asdjaputra, Dasc: Could be a few things, hard to say at this point. [10:52] iit has gdm [10:52] not gdm3 [10:53] Dasc: probably wouldn't hurt if you do this anyway [10:53] Ramosa: your cpu has to have virtualization capability to run 64bit guest os [10:53] Dasc: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm && sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [10:53] jrib, i dont know how to explain it i just want to get rid of it.. can you help me get rid of it? i can reinstall it and start fresh in 5 minutes [10:53] asdjaputra: gdm says warning, failed to acquire org.gnome.displaymanager [10:53] crackerjackz: I told you what to remove [10:53] asdjaputra: cool 1 sec [10:53] jrib, apache2.2-common right? [10:53] oCean, ahh! so 32bit I can run? [10:53] crackerjackz: to remove apache, yes [10:53] Dasc: it'll reinstall gdm and tries to reconfigure it for you [10:54] does anyone know what other configs affect connectivity from a custom lucid to a fresh vm install? [10:54] Ramosa: run egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo in a terminal to check if your cpu has those capabilities, but 32bit should run anyway [10:54] jrib, i want to completely remove everything tasksell install lamp-server installed [10:54] Dasc: How you update the nvidia driver would vary depending on how you installed it before the update. I think :) [10:54] My screen seems fuzzy [10:54] asdjaputra: updated but didn't do anything much [10:55] jrib, also apt-get remove apache2.2-common returns similar errors as the previous pastebins i showed you [10:55] I want to get nvidia drivers, but I see 3 options and I don't know which one to chose, also I dn't know what exact card I have [10:55] crackerjackz: pastebin [10:55] DistroJockey: I remember using synaptic package to install the nvidia thing [10:55] What is the aspect ration of a 22" screen usuallY?

[10:55] jrib, sorry mate [10:56] right [10:56] jrib, http://pastebin.com/61smbuqV [10:56] Dasc: In that case it should have updated with the upgrade I would think. [10:56] Dasc: so does it work? [10:56] asdjaputra: nope didn't work [10:56] does it matter which nvidia driver i install anyone? [10:57] crackerjackz: remove the apache packages mentioned in the output. But as I said, this will likely not solve anything for you and is a waste of our time [10:57] can somebody help with grub? [10:57] asdjaputra: in the cli it downloaded some stuff, then just updated it, but didn't help with the login, still kicks me out immediately after I type in the correct password [10:57] jrib, why won't it solve anything? if i remove it then reinstall it.. it'll be default wont it? [10:57] crackerjackz: no [10:57] basw: #grub [10:58] k [10:58] jrib, whys that? [10:58] crackerjackz: well it depends on what you didn't which I don't know [10:58] Dasc: At the login screen, does changing the session to failsafe graphics help?

I get the first screen asking, load safemode this time only? then after that it flickers a bit with another prompt and kicks me back to the cli menu [10:59] and then* [10:59] crackerjackz: so? [11:00] oCean, well when i try to apt-get remove.. on any of those packages it doesnt work (yes i'm root) [11:00] crackerjackz: not any of those, all of them at the same time [11:00] ahhhh [11:00] okay [11:00] crackerjackz: you don't need to be root, you have to execute the command using sudo. [11:00] oCean, i use sudo bash so that i don't have to type sudo a million times [11:01] crackerjackz: do not use sudo bash, use « sudo -i » [11:01] crackerjackz: if you really feel you need that, run sudo -i [11:01] okay i'll make a mental note of that, what is the difference between sudo bash and sudo -i [11:01] crackerjackz: well sudo bash is dumb and sudo -i is not :P [11:02] crackerjackz: (really: sudo -i will do nice things with your environment) [11:02] need 1 volunteer (for 3 minutes) with linux and firefox 5 to make a few screenshots of a firefox add-on. the screenosts will be published on mozilla add-ons page of this addon-on. /q me [11:03] lamps: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place to ask that [11:03] tsimpson: ok thanks [11:04] Dasc: Sorry, I've run out of ideas atm.

[11:08] Guest30436: edit ~/.dmrc I suppose [11:08] Dasc: Could even be Compiz related if you had that before the upgrade. Can you check the /var/log/xorg.0.log for errors?

[11:34] soulis77-SE: ufw, by default, will block every port. You won't get in unless you specifically open _some_ ports. [11:35] bluegoon: Xorg -version [11:35] wildbat, thank you [11:35] soulis77-SE: I'm no firewall expert by any means, but when I install gufw, and enable the firewall, I can't get in at any port. [11:36] atraljava: ok but can the server provider access the server and change this since even the ufw instruction itself don't say this... [11:36] Everystep only referes like if you are on the server not ssh from outside [11:36] heyy guys i need help [11:36] soulis77-SE: Absolutely. That would be a seriously lousy server component if it didn't allow opening some ports. :) [11:37] how can i run an application and then go to another command in the single terminal................................ [11:37] yeah, then I just have to pay them for doing it.. Ok but atleast I don't have to reinstall everything :) [11:37] soulis77-SE: hth are you going to ssh from the outside if you didn't open the ports to ssh to the server? [11:38] T3ecXpl0rer: use screen or look at backgrounding processes [11:38] soulis77-SE: Yes, that is the standard way of writing instructions. If you're doing something remotely, it is generally expected that you have some experience and understanding how that differs from the basic scenario. [11:38] pooltable, did that work? [11:38] crackerjacksz how do i know it is working it is just setting there ? [11:38] soulis77-SE: you have to be physically infront of it, to actually make ufw allow ports to ssh into the server [11:38] T3ecXpl0rer, if you want to run an application in the background, add & to the end of the command. [11:38] T3ecXpl0rer: you could try: firefox & [11:39] You might have to kill the process to close the application though unless it has a gui or something. [11:39] asdjaputra: I followed the step by step instructions from uwf itself... I should have config the ports before.. But easy to know now. [11:39] pooltable, tell me what it says [11:40] crackerjacksz not a thing just blank line [11:40] but the problem is ...i have to use "sudo"....for example "Etherape" [11:40] sudo etherape & ........its not working [11:40] T3ecXpl0rer: su -c 'etherape &' [11:43] its not working....saying"None of the authentication protocols specified are supported" [11:43] pooltable, is it still just hanging there? [11:44] i think i have to write a bash script [11:44] [desktop] <-eth0-> [netbook] <-ppp0-> [internet] How do I accomplish such network sharing setup? [11:44] My webcam, when connected, does create video0 (according to dmesg), but then immediately disconnects and releases it. [11:44] I've tried NetworkManager, brctl and ufw without success. [11:44] Hedgehog456, what kind of webcam do you have? === Lomex is now known as Lomex_off [11:45] crackerjackz: Halina Multi-function DCI8IB [11:45] crackerjacksz yes [11:46] crackerjackz: It's not a driver problem, because Ubuntu definitely recognises it according to dmesg, but then it disconnects it [11:46] Hedgehog456, see what happens when you try to test your cam here http://www.testwebcam.com/ [11:47] is there any other way..... [11:47] pooltable, press ctrl c inside the terminal to make it stop [11:47] when I install hddtemp I get a prompt to start hddtemp as a daemon -- can I somehow automatically answer that in a script? [11:48] i made it worked... gksu etherape....working [11:48] pooltable, run this.. pwd [11:48] tell me what directory you're in [11:49] thanks @asdjaputra for ur suggestion [11:49] [desktop (Windows)] <-eth0-> [netbook (ubuntu)] <-ppp0-> [internet] How do I accomplish such network sharing setup? [11:49] i didn't help at all, you figure it out yourself :-) === JohnyMnemonic is now known as Johny_Mnemonic [11:50] crackerjackz: no, because v4l2 uses video0, and video0 is always disconnected and released [11:51] dobblego: What command are you using for the install? [11:51] Hedgehog456, Halina Multi-function DCI8IB is that what you get when you run lsusb? [11:51] apt-get install sensors-applet [11:52] dobblego: try adding a: -y [11:52] DistroJockey: sorry, I have a -y in there [11:52] crackerjacksz pwd? [11:52] crackerjackz: No, when I run lsusb I get Avago Technologies, Ltd. [11:52] pooltable, pwd is a command;.. it stands for print working directory [11:52] how do I install ATI linux drivers? Its in .run format [11:52] you need to cd to the directory of the image [11:53] where is the image saved at? [11:53] Anyone here have DDR2 RAM in their laptop? [11:53] Hedgehog456, pastebin me the output of lsusb [11:53] [desktop (Windows)] <-eth0-> [netbook (ubuntu)] <-ppp0-> [internet] How do I accomplish such network sharing setup? [11:54] crackerjackz: OK, this might be useful too: dmesg output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/645357/ [11:54] Inkura, what are you trying to do exactly could you elaborate a little more [11:54] is there a streamlined way by which i can paste text snippets into vim from links2 [11:54] ideally with a timestamp [11:55] dobblego: Well there is --force-yes but that can be nasty. Check: man apt-get for info and other possible options [11:55] crackerjackz: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/645358/ [11:56] dobblego: I'd assume -y is not working as the package is unauthenticated? [11:56] -y is not working because it is presented as a whiptail dialog [11:56] hi [11:57] dobblego: ahh [11:57] Hedgehog456, try installing cheese and running your webcam through cheese [11:58] no never mind.. [11:58] thats not gonna work [11:58] hi folks [11:58] crackerjackz: Yes, 'No Device Found'. It was through the Cheese help that I found about dmesg. [11:59] Hedgehog456, idk sorry i don't have the knowledge to help you further [11:59] google doesn't seem to know much about your cam [11:59] i've got 3 webcams and only 1 of them works with linux [11:59] crackerjackz: does any other webcam automatically dismount when connected? [12:00] im trying to upgrade and ive booted from cd to do it [12:00] but it says it needs to unmount /dev/sda1 and it cant [12:01] dobblego: How about: -q [12:01] Hedgehog456, i'm not sure i'm still pretty n00b to be honest sorry i couldn't help [12:02] crackerjackz: ah, thanks. i think the problem lies in gspca, thanks!

Please help :( [12:09] hoooooooooooooooooooo [12:09] omegaphi: Do you know why the Ubuntu installation is corrupt? I'm thinking your hard drive is dying. [12:09] !repeat | omegaphi [12:09] omegaphi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

ATM I just want to save my data from corrputed ubuntu [12:10] Hedgehog456, sorry i coulnd't be of any help. hope ya get it worked out soon! [12:11] HI Anubisss [12:11] omegaphi: Can you copy that root.disk file to another drive? [12:12] I need help with my ubuntu [12:12] DistroJockey , yes, from the windows! but that file is absent when I try to access it from the live cds [12:12] i Have some problem with sound [12:12] omegaphi, Just so you are aware, wubi is not a dual-boot installation. [12:13] anyone want to help be find a potential kernel bug (suspected) that's really really bad (eats up the memory by caching them and not releasing it when program needs to allocate them, at least that's suspected)? Link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/51785/swap-shoots-to-100-after-a-couple-of-hours-of-usage [12:13] omegaphi: Wubi != dual boot [12:13] ok got it! [12:13] wubi!=dual boot [12:13] i've been trying to solve this for the past 2 weeks. can't find a solution. 5 hours of usage max before swap is getting used [12:13] crackerjackz, first stop mysql > sudo service mysql stop [12:14] crackerjackz then you could remove it. [12:14] omegaphi: If you can copy the file without IO errors then the disk is probably fine [12:14] wubi runs from within windows; therefore is not dual boot. [12:14] hi everyone [12:14] OerHeks, it won't stop i can't stop the service ive tried [12:16] DistroJockey : when I put a live cd and mout the disk where wubi is installed, I get the same wubi folder as windows, but it is missing the /disks/root.disk file :( [12:16] DistroJockey : Now since the file is absent the i/o error is quite obvious, isn't it? [12:16] omegaphi: And I'm not sure why you can't see that file on the Windows partition from a live CD. Live CD's see more than Windows does most times. [12:17] omegaphi: Not used wubi really, but it won't be automatically mounted in /disks [12:17] DistroJockey : My PC is a mess. It has got ubuntu10 and windows7, and over windows 7 I have ubuntu11 installed via wubi [12:18] !netsplit [12:18] 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 [12:18] help with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/645364/? [12:19] hello, so i have a bit of a odd case setup scenario that ive been trying to work out the best options of [12:19] omegaphi: (repeating incase you missed it) Not used wubi really, but it won't be automatically mounted in /disks [12:19] pooltable, is the image located on your "desktop" [12:20] one desktop PC that i would like to use for all my desktop tasks, which requires windows for some stuff, and i run ubuntu as my primary OS [12:20] DistroJockey : ok [12:20] crackerjacksz no desktop in folder vm\ [12:20] i've been trying to solve this for the past 2 weeks. can't find a solution. 5 hours of usage max before swap is getting used [12:20] unfortunately i need access to a specific PCI device within windows so most vmware/other stuff is out [12:20] pooltable, you need to be in the same directory as the image [12:21] also would rather not have to reboot into windows whenever i need it. [12:21] so [12:21] cd /path/to/file.vdmk [12:21] then once you're in that directory [12:21] run this [12:21] while watching video on ubuntu, video should be save in /tmp folder but in my case no video is there. where to configure it [12:21] so i was toying with the idea of using xen, as it would allow me to pass the PCI device through to the domU [12:21] (windows) [12:22] qemu-img convert "Mac OS X Snow Leopard.vmdk /tmp/Mac OS X Snow Leopard.bin" [12:22] crackerjacksz how do i do that ? [12:22] pooltable, tell me where is the file saved [12:22] crackerjacksz here eightball@Sophia:~/Desktop/vm$ ls [12:22] Mac OS X Snow Leopard.vmdk [12:22] okay [12:23] pooltable, now type this [12:23] qemu-img convert "Mac OS X Snow Leopard.vmdk /tmp/Mac OS X Snow Leopard.bin" [12:23] my thinking is that i can run my current ubuntu install as dom0 and setup a windows xp as a guest under xen, but this begs the question. [12:23] performance issues? [12:23] oop [12:23] oops [12:23] wait [12:23] that's not right [12:23] type this [12:23] dude [12:23] dont punctuate with enter....else the flood bot will quieten u [12:23] qemu-img convert "Mac OS X Snow Leopard.vmdk" "/tmp/Mac OS X Snow Leopard.vmdk" [12:23] pooltable, just copy and paste it [12:24] hi - quick question. is there a way of upgrading directly from 9.10 to 11.04? [12:24] brainwave92, sorry [12:24] just i avoided 10.04 because i heard there were 'issues' [12:24] crackerjacksz ok [12:24] MercyboxMonium, I dont believe so [12:24] clean install it is then [12:24] Neither do i......like what? There are issues with every distro. [12:24] pooltable, i goofed again.. type this instead [12:24] Pwnna: what's the exact OS? you don't mention that anywhere [12:24] crackerjacksz went back to the blank line but will wait this time [12:25] anyone want to help be find a potential kernel bug (suspected) that's really really bad (eats up the memory by caching them and not releasing it when program needs to allocate them, at least that's suspected)? Link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/51785/swap-shoots-to-100-after-a-couple-of-hours-of-usage [12:25] MercyboxMonium, that is always the preferred way :) then you can be sure,, if anything is buggy , that it was not cuased by an upgrade glitch [12:25] szal: there ^^^^ [12:25] qemu-img convert "Mac OS X Snow Leopard.vmdk" "/tmp/Mac OS X Snow Leopard.bin" @ pooltable [12:26] someone i know upgraded and it didn't like his nvidia card. caused him hours of grief [12:26] Pwnna: no, it's not in there [12:26] os?

[12:28] hehe coz_ did i mention just how lazy? ... nah i think i knew the answer, and i reckon it does the old system good to completely nuke the disks and start afresh [12:29] J0hnDoe: #ubuntu-offtopic is a more appropiate place to ask [12:29] hahaha [12:29] hi, if I save the root.disk file from my wubi installation and then do a fresh wubi installation and then overwrite the existing root.disk with saved one. Would it save my data? [12:29] my webcam has no batteries, but it still appears to work [12:29] MercyboxMonium, I believe it does,,and if you want to really clean up the disk before installation ,, download Dban and writ zeros to the drive,, depending on t he drive size, however it can take hours [12:29] what does it mean when my PC freezes and the caps lock light is blinking? [12:29] HelpWithNatty, dont repeat so quickly! [12:30] it's just a good few hours of configuring and tweaking [12:30] Anyone who knows the answer will tell you, else you have to wait buddy [12:30] szal: does that help you at all?

Result of removing some but not all packages. There's lots of hints when apt fails (like "try apt-get -f install") and such. I suggest you follow those suggestions [12:34] hello my darlings. Is there someone who can say HOW TO install Perl module JavaScript::SpiderMonkey when there is no SpiderMonkey C library? [12:34] i just hope i remember to burn the os iso to disc before running dban on the system :p [12:34] HelpWithNatty: Can't really suggest anything sorry. Depends how you are/were running it, etc. [12:34] MercyboxMonium, yes that would be wise,, also you may conisder the minimal install cd,, it downloads from the net [12:35] oCean, what is apt-get -f install? [12:35] DistroJockey: do you think running the LTS 10.04 version will make it more stable?

[12:35] MercyboxMonium, it is only 19 megs and little change of packet collisions and corrupt iso images... at some point you will get a list of what can be installed,, arrows to scroll the list and the "Space" bar to tick a box [12:35] HelpWithNatty: No idea sorry.

[12:47] crackerjackz: I have no idea why tasksel-debconf is there. Might be a hanging process from earlier? [12:48] oCean, that sounds plausible [12:48] @coz_: I ran said prog.... 102F is my current reading [12:48] hey all...does anyone know where I can read the release notes for Gnome 3? [12:48] theToff, whoa ,, that's way too hot [12:48] Leeds26m, check the PPA maintainer. its not supported here [12:48] theToff, 80 F or 83 F should be the ceiling [12:49] I know.... and this is on a laptop, mind you... [12:49] oCean, any ideas? [12:49] !gnome3 > Leeds26m [12:49] Leeds26m, please see my private message [12:49] theToff, shut it down,, let it cool off ,, then restart and see if the temps increase again [12:49] My root.disk file has got i/o errors so I Can't access my ubuntu. How do I repair it? I installed ubuntu with wubi [12:49] crackerjackz: earlier you rebooted to get rid of this process, right? [12:49] theToff, if it gets beyong 90 F shut it down again [12:50] ok.... btw, is there a prog I can use to check my core temps, etc? [12:50] got it.. /var/log/syslog it is.. [12:50] theToff, otherwise you will get termal damage and the drive will fall into read only mode [12:50] crackerjacksz ok look like it is done where do i find it and open it load it in vbox [12:50] oCean, yah but someone in here told me to run tasksel and find webserver and mysql in hte list but i never could find them... i think i pressed enter with lamp-server highlighted.. rahter than pressing ctrl c [12:50] i don't understand what does it mean [12:50] crackerjackz: then I suggest to reboot again, and then run sudo dpkg --configure -a and apt-get -f command again [12:50] when i pressed enter it did nothing though.. it just took me back to the command line [12:51] nightrid3r: the trouble with zentyal and other is that they tend to impose their ideas as to configs, eg, their postfix setup uses quarantine, whereas I drop anything that even remotely smells of spam; as my famuly is spread of 3 of the 5 continents I want things like webdav... and I ma not sure that zentyal et al support suchthings? [12:51] hello I have a problem with partitions, can u help me pls? http://shortText.com/ZbRQBB [12:51] @bipul, what it means is that you need to have hardware virtualization support on the machine you are hosting the guest virtual machine [12:51] okay brb [12:51] *reposting* my root.disk file has got i/o errors so I Can't access my ubuntu. How do I repair it? I installed ubuntu with wubi [12:52] theToff then how can i rectify this problem ? [12:52] omegaphi... have you tried fsck with a livecd? [12:53] Leeds26m It failed [12:53] theToff what did you say your temperature was? [12:53] Leeds26m : because the root.disk is not even visible from livecd [12:53] omegaphi: hard disk broken? [12:54] mmm, I'd say you're out of luck then omegaphi, I'm afraid [12:54] lotuspsychje : no [12:54] Leeds26m : can I try checkdisk from windows? [12:54] @brainwave92: currentyl, 104F [12:54] omegaphi: sata, ide, ssd? [12:54] *currently [12:55] theToff, still too hot [12:55] lotuspsychje : how do I find it out?

[12:55] mine is 118 farenheit! [12:55] How can I judge my processor's heat? [12:56] omegaphi: open your computer case and check, if ubuntu does not recognize hd, must be broken [12:56] oCean, i'm not sure if maybe this would have anything to do with it.. but when i reboot. after i log in it says system problem detected, do you want to report problem now? cancel or report problem... [12:56] theToff, you dont want to drive to get too much termal damage,, as i said it will fall into read only mode then you could be looking at a new hard drive [12:56] crackerjacksz what do i do nest? [12:56] theToff, terminal damage makes a drive unreliable [12:56] next [12:56] hello I have a problem with partitions, can u help me pls? http://shortText.com/ZbRQBB [12:57] crackerjackz: ok, i have no clue what a "system problem" is, never seen that [12:57] oCean, clicks on report problem then it says.. sorry the package phpmyadmin 3:3.3.10-1 failed to install or upgrade. [12:57] theToff, another thing to try is install an earlier version of ubuntu ,, see if the temps continue to rise [12:57] lotuspsychje : I am on the same computer, and from the live cd I was able to access the HD [12:57] theToff, my hard disk is 118.4 . From what you say...that is a problem [12:57] oCean, then it goes on to say.. you can help the developers to fix the package by reporting the problem... clicks on report problem again [12:58] theToff, however here,, 11.04.. the only thing I noticed is increase in ram useage not much in temps of hard drive or video card [12:58] omegaphi and on natty clean install doesnt show? [12:58] crackerjackz: hm, well that's all related to the current dependency issue [12:58] oCean, then it opens up a webpage that says this... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/349469 [12:58] Ubuntu bug 349469 in debconf (Ubuntu) "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" [Medium,Triaged] [12:58] crackerjackz: is the debconf / frontend process running atm?

[13:06] pooltable: VBoxManage [13:07] oCean, yup cleared the cache with that command you gave me.. it returned no output so i guess that means it worked aye?

Once it's done, you still have to remove the lamp packages [13:10] how do I prevent ubuntu from ugrading my kernel unless I compile it myself?

You might have to run apt-get purge again [13:13] lotuspsychje : I have windows and ubuntu via wubi, I can see everything but the root.disk file from live cd [13:13] oCean, okay also did you mean ept-cache rather than pt-cache? [13:13] or perhaps apt-cache [13:13] if you mean apt rather then ept, then yes, I meant apt :p [13:14] ;p [13:14] how might I clean up my system before I back it up? [13:14] crackerjackz: ok, to be sure, run dpkg -l | egrep '(apache2.2-common|mysql-server-5.1|php5-common)' [13:15] onca using deborphan, apt-get clean and apt-get autoremove [13:15] 9~9~ [13:15] fjorgynn, ?

[13:26] anyone know how to downgrade linux headers? [13:26] venol: you have to be sure it's executable, and that the cron can find the path to the program. Check /var/log/syslog for failed cron jobs [13:26] oCean: Ok.. [13:27] Dasc: downgrade? [13:27] spitzi, its end of life, its not supported. you need to upgrade [13:27] hello again [13:27] !upgrade > spitzi [13:27] spitzi, please see my private message [13:27] bazhang - I use it for so little stuff. C'mon, it's not dead per se. [13:27] oCean: yeah [13:28] my ubuntu always crash. does anyone can tell mw why please? [13:28] spitzi, its not supported here. do what you wish, just dont ask for our support [13:28] Surely there's some working repository for jaunty still somewhere. [13:28] spitzi, no, there is not [13:28] Dasc: if you're building anything against your current kernel, you need the current headers version also [13:28] oCean: updated my ubuntu and it seems to stopped allowing me to login via gnome :( [13:28] Dasc: that has nothing to do with -headers, if you want to boot into an older kernel, do so via grub menu [13:28] spitzi, see the eolupgrades link in the link you got [13:29] hi guys!+ [13:29] dasc, use ubuntu classic [13:29] Oh well, thanks. Bye. [13:29] oCean: hmmmm the older headers doesn't seem to work either :( and the problem I have is, I clicked on the update button 2 days ago and has now stopped working === ok1234 is now known as WukongSun [13:30] valleydaddy78: I would if I have to >_X;;; I just want to logon to my desktop [13:30] Dasc: the *headers* have nothing to do with that. [13:30] Dasc: what version ubuntu / gnome are you using? [13:30] could some one help me please, before ubuntu crashs again [13:31] oCean, remember the apt-get purge command? it seems to purge some of it but some of it would not... http://pastebin.com/3rGeefvH [13:31] oCean: my box was working till the last update, a guy here told me to check the apt history.log file, it says there it updated a few linux-header files and that's when my box stopped working [13:31] oCean: I'm on 10.04.2 [13:32] trying to figure out why blkid is wrong about uuid and filesystem type: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645387/ [13:32] crackerjackz: ok, to be sure, run dpkg -l | egrep '(apache2.2-common|mysql-server-5.1|php5-common)' [13:32] its not the cache file [13:32] crackerjackz: or grep for even more packages [13:32] oCean, i did the output of that command is in the same pastebin [13:33] Linux Coadmin-System 2.6.38-10-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 15:05:41 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux always crashes [13:33] Hi, I've got a problem with gnome panels/whole of unity not appearing [13:33] how do you remap keys on the keyboard globally? for all users, in X and the console, all the time? I need to swap left alt and left win because i have a weird backwards keyboard. :) [13:33] need help or advices [13:33] crackerjackz: right now i see.. you can run a sudo dpkg -P packagename for those 3 packages, but it's still no guarantee that *every* configfile has been removed [13:34] crackerjackz: you you might have to look for those remaining configs in /etc (sub)directories yourself [13:34] oCean, what does dpkg -P do? [13:34] !classic > NeedHelp_ [13:34] NeedHelp_, please see my private message [13:34] i got this strange phenomenon that apeears to be copy protection related: when i insert an audio cd with a children's play on it, ubuntu suggests i open it with banshee which i dont as it crashes but i would like to see its contents so i choose nautilus, but then i get: Could not display "cdda://sr0/". i dont even get to see it when i use the mount command, also there is no entry for cdrom in /etc/fstab, nor a cd or dvd device in /dev but vlc DOES [13:34] MikeTG: how does it crash [13:34] ? [13:35] so how is my connection? http://www.speedtest.net/result/1388197618.png [13:35] Sidewinder1: I'm not asking about switching to classic [13:35] can i make skype not to appear in the task bar? [13:35] Dasc: ok, I have no clue why you cannot login. But I can tell you it's not the -headers update. But if -headers whas updated, then the linux-image (kernel) was updated also (likely) so you should be able to boot into the previous kernel [13:35] thanks for asking, it just hang up. All I've to to is to turn it off [13:35] remoteCTRL: VLC does what? [13:35] crackerjackz: it's a purge option. You can read details in the man dpkg page [13:36] MikeTG: sounds like a hardware problem [13:36] NeedHelp_, No one else was answering; it was simply a suggestion, sorry. :-) [13:36] Sidewinder1: I'm asking about getting anything to work - suddenly no interface wants to appear, be that Unity or classic, and session takes ages to start [13:36] Sidewinder1: Ah, ok [13:36] oCean, okay ty you have been a big help. thank you for helping me i gotta go get ready for this funeral now [13:36] Sidewinder1: better than nothing I guess :D [13:36] fjorgynn: thanks, that seems to have solved most problems, although some of the channels that used to work with Totem's plugin have stopped working [13:36] crackerjackz: glad to be of help. See you later [13:36] is there anyway to find it out? [13:36] where can I purge my notify-osd settings if I've screwed them up? [13:36] oCean: well my current situation is that it boots onto the logon screen in gnome, lets you select uers, but after I've entered the correct password it goes black for 0.5 sec and then kicks me back to the login screen again. [13:37] hello ubuntu says that there are only 130 Mb of space, and I don't know what to do considerating that the space is 29 Gb and 15Gb are unused, and it's installed in windows... [13:37] szal: if i choose to play the cd with vlc from within ubuntus "what shall i do with the media that you just inserted" dialog, then it plays! if i open vlc and click on the "file" menu then open location or open file i get the Could not display "cdda://sr0/". error [13:37] Dasc: as a test - use the console to make a new user. see if the newly made user works. [13:37] rugnur: you used a wubi type install in windows? [13:37] rugnur→ you probably have a weird runaway log file. If you know how to use the terminal: go to /var/log and run du [13:37] MikeTG: overheating -> install lm-sensors and some monitoring tool for whatever UI you use; if it overheats, open case & clean fan(s) and heatsink(s) (can't hurt anyway) [13:38] szal: also i cannot seem to figure out where ubuntu nowadays actually mounts the cdrom drive to as there a re no entries in fstab, nothing in /media, nothing in /dev, i'm confused! [13:38] MikeTG: could be RAM -> run memtest86+ w/ as many passes as possible [13:38] remoteCTRL: normally /media/VolumeNameOfTheCD from what ive seen [13:38] remoteCTRL: afaik, audio CDs are not mounted [13:39] Dasc: I'm sorry, but I really have no clue why that happens. You can search launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu) for known bugs. Or try to boot in older linuxkernel (press and hold shift during boot to enter the grub men) [13:39] *menu [13:39] Dr_Willis: that is exactly what i was hoping for, but thre is just nothing there! yet vlc plays it! [13:39] correct - you do not mount audio music cds [13:39] MikeTG: could also be a too weak or failing PSU [13:39] Dr_Willis: tried making a new user, it allows me to login, but then just stops loading after you've put in the correct password. It has the background image and you can move your mouse around, no right clicks or anything. [13:39] remoteCTRL: audio cd gets accessed directly via the /dev/XXX item [13:39] Dr_Willis: szal no?? erm... what then? [13:39] remoteCTRL: i dont know what you are trying to do.... [13:40] Dr_Willis: do you happen to know that /dev/xxx item that could be? cos there is no /dev/cdrom nor /dev/dvd nor anything that would resemble a cd...? [13:40] /dev/cdrom is normally a link to /dev/sr0 here [13:41] Dr_Willis: well i was listening to an audio play with my daughter, then all of a sudden it ended in the middle, vlc does not recognize any further chapters, so i tried to just look what actually IS on the cd, but i can fugure out no way to just see its contendt, nautilus also says Could not display "cdda://sr0/". [13:42] you could be wright. Under Windoz it uses to turn off automatically. Now I've open the case and put a ventilator on the side ;-). it is traditional but I think it should take care of the heat [13:42] ;-) [13:42] remoteCTRL: check dmesg command output perhaps. it may mention some errors [13:43] anyone know how to get a rt3090 wifi card working in natty? [13:43] Dr_Willis: ok, the /dev/sr0 hint was already wery nice, could you also tell me with what filesystem option i should mount a cdrom? like -t ext4 or -t iso99somthing? [13:43] Hi, I'm having troube with mutt, my command is 'mutt -s "email subject" -a data.txt tom@example.com < hello.txt', but it gives this error: 'Can't stat tom@example.com: No such file or directory', any suggestions on where I'm going wrong?

[13:46] thanks very much llutz :) I just found it on a forum! always the way, spend ages searching, and as soon as I ask, find it elsewhere aswell :) [13:46] RandomCake: "man mutt" 4 seconds to find :) [13:46] Dr_Willis: erm... dmesg throws like a ton of errors... [13:47] hello [13:47] yeah, silly me trusting online documentation before man! [13:47] hey all - I'm installing 10.04 LTS x64 on a machine that already has Windows 7 installed for a dual boot setup, however the "Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup" option is missing - it wants to either use the entire disk or use manual partitioning (which won't let me resize the windows partition) [13:48] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/541620 cinnabar12 have a look here [13:48] Ubuntu bug 541620 in linux (Ubuntu Natty) "Ralink RT3090 Wireless Not Supported in Lucid" [High,Fix released] [13:48] am I going to have to use something like GParteD first? [13:48] Dr_Willis: mostly keeps repeating the same thing over and over, like these 5 lines: http://nopaste.info/e090de0d3e.html [13:49] is that copy protection related? [13:49] bazhang: I've looked there before, the workaround that's posted doesn't work [13:50] llutz_: Yeah, manpages... such a forgotten resource. :-/ Also reminded me of this: http://xkcd.com/912/ But alas, I digress, for which I apologize. [13:50] can i make skype not to appear in the task bar? [13:50] so how is my connection? http://www.speedtest.net/result/1388197618.png [13:50] i've big problems using irc. the chat delay in 5 min. why? [13:50] https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090?field.series_filter=natty cinnabar12 this should [13:51] ronqbc, impressive xD is that tethered or a landline? [13:51] hi guys i have a problem with ubuntu. When i log on nothing is showing up except whats on the desktop. And Ctrl+Alt+T and Alt-F2 dont work i have been able to go around it and open the folder with all the applications so i can still opn terminal that way but i dont know what to do. If i log in to ubuntu without any special effects it works fine. [13:51] PhonicUK, landl [13:51] bazhang: I've tried that too but oddly it either works for one run session and then on next startup it doesn't or it causes a kernel panic [13:51] ronqbc: Could you please pastebin the output of `ping -c 50 www.google.com` [13:51] ronqbc, wow - where are you that it's that bad? [13:51] Mamed: so that points to it being a compiz or unity related issue. [13:52] ronqbc: That will let us know whether there are packets dropping on the way. [13:52] cinnabar12, thats all I can find presently, sorry [13:52] Mamed: Are you using unity or ubuntu classic? [13:52] ronqbc: Otherwise, that connection shouldn't be the cause of such a delay. [13:52] bazhang: wait a mo, it's been updated since I used it last [13:52] bazhang: I'll give i a shot [13:52] where are modules selected to be loaded, how do I remove some? [13:52] !blacklist | onca [13:52] onca: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [13:52] My mouse is stuck. What process should I look for and kill? Or does it require a reboot? [13:52] thankyou [13:53] astraljava, how much time should the process take? [13:53] stercor_: you could try going to the console and restatting the X session. 'sudo service gdm restart' [13:53] onca: It's all in kernel code. When the system boots the hardware is scanned and proper modules are selected for you from a long list of available ones. [13:53] PhonicUK, israel [13:53] remoteCTRL: copy protection can have weird effects.. I have some copy-protected CDs, and everytime I insert one it shows a different number of tracks, so I can be lucky to have the whole CD showing, or nothing at all, or anything in between [13:53] ronqbc: The '-c 50' option means "try 50 times", and it pings once a second. [13:53] Dr_Willis: Thanks. I'll do just that. [13:53] bazhang: if it does happen to work and I add the PPA to my sources.list do you think it would still work if I did an upgrade to Oneiric when it comes out? [13:54] ya i happened after i installed ccsm and then i crashed and restarted and i when into classic and everything works fine there and i uninstalled ccsm and went back to notmal ubuntu and it was the same problem and i went back into classic again and installed ccsm again thinking that maybe maybe i could go back to the default settings but everything is already on default and it still isnt working [13:54] /buffer notify highlight [13:54] remoteCTRL: at this occasion I pat my audiocd:/ kioslave (KDE) [13:54] blah [13:54] szal: hehe weird... yet still you are one step ahead of me, cos i don't even get to see the tracks -.- [13:54] astraljava, will it be sufficient to make it just 20? [13:54] Mamed: there was no need to uninstall ccsm. it just tweaks the compiz settings.. [13:54] ronqbc: If it's a really bad case, probably. [13:54] cinnabar12, all PPA are removed upon version upgrade, it will either be included in oneiric, or perhaps the maintainer will make one for oneiric [13:54] Mamed there are some commands to reset unity and compiz back to defaults. I think i got the url bookmarked at -> http://delicious.com/dr_willis [13:55] bazhang: hi, can I pm you a bit? [13:55] Mamed: its from the webupd8 blog site [13:55] exutux, ask here for support please [13:55] bazhang: isn't for support [13:55] exutux, sure [13:55] http://www.speedtest.net/result/1318863973.png << jelly? [13:56] how might I enforce the loading of a module? [13:57] onca: tell us what you are trying to acomplish by all this. [13:57] onca: at boottime? add it to /etc/modules [13:57] ok [13:57] thanks [13:57] onca: What module, for what hardware? (generally the best way is to remove all other possibilities). You can also sudo modprobe it manually [13:57] I have patched my kernel for the unifying receiver for logitech and for the Digitalpersona for my fignerprint scanner [13:57] Dr Willis does that help? [13:58] szal: darn... i might really invest into some dvd-playa, cos somehow i've had these "NO YOU CANNOT LISTEN TO THIS CD ON YOUR COMPUTER, COS WE ARE COPY OVERPRETECTIVE" nonsense up to here... or... i stop buying cds and start downloading like them everybody else... i really detest them *****s! [13:58] onca: so you knew how to patch a kernel . but not load a module? [13:58] anyone know when Ubuntu will support (have a package for) unionfs or aufs or something like that? [13:58] Dr_willis, it's been ten years since I've done this [13:58] and it's very different [13:58] Hi, I'm trying to replicate unity's functionality w/o using unity (because it's unstable as hell). I'm using docky + gnome-do for launching, but I really liked the app-menus and maximzed feature of unity (ie, where the window titlebar merges into the panel when maximized). Is there a way to do this? [13:58] szal: Dr_Willis: anyways, thanks for you'r efforts! [13:59] onca: what issue were you having with the unify reciever? the one i have here just 'works' [13:59] My keyboard works fine [13:59] my mouse won't [13:59] I have three dongles and none of them pair up [13:59] Odd. Mine both worked here.. untill the wife took them. :) [14:00] remoteCTRL: can't hurt having a hardware player anyway, especially since they cost almost nothing these days [14:00] I have a nifty solar powered keyboard [14:00] savid: The only way I know of is a) install / use unity. b) edit some source code (which is what they did to create unity). I'm not sure of another way. [14:00] gotta reboot [14:00] outta batteries for your keyboard? [14:00] any kind soul to help me with an ubuntu server issue? [14:00] edbian: its in the shade. :) [14:00] edbian, are you suggesting I actually participate in open-source development? That's madness! [14:01] hahah [14:01] Utopia_: What's the issue? [14:01] astraljava, http://paste.ubuntu.com/645400/ [14:01] just put the new ubuntu on my machine aaaaaand now I can't find most of my packages [14:01] savid: I'm recommending you don't re-invent the wheel [14:01] savid: why is that? [14:01] hi I'm having problem with my window's title bar....they're not showing :(( [14:01] Utopia_: whats your problem [14:01] nocilis: 'my' packages? what packages... [14:01] specifically libsdl-dev and liballeg-dev [14:01] Skaperen, /sarcasm [14:01] !info libsdl-dev [14:01] Hi. I'm trying to create a dialer. I'm using ADSL modem by BSNL India. It is running in bridged mode. PPPoE somehow fails after some time. I used the DSL tab in the Edit connections box, but I'm unable to connect from a standard user account using GUI. It just says "Wired network: device not managed" Please help me. [14:01] Package libsdl-dev does not exist in natty [14:01] nocilis: Have you looked at Synaptic -> Edit -> Software Sources ? [14:01] unforunately, yes [14:01] savid: of course, but adding sarcasm to open source projects would be great, IMHO [14:01] Well trying to install ubuntu server on a HP DL380 G4 server but installation only stops after "detecting harware" part.. [14:02] edbian: no, checking that now [14:02] nocilis: sure [14:02] !info libsdl1.2-dev [14:02] libsdl1.2-dev (source: libsdl1.2): Simple DirectMedia Layer development files. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.14-6.1ubuntu3 (natty), package size 804 kB, installed size 3444 kB [14:02] can anyone help me? :/ [14:02] apt-cache search libsdl | grep dev :) [14:02] goatWalkerZ, on unity? [14:02] no on gnome classic version [14:02] Utopia_: Bad place to get stuck. Try removing certain bits of hardware one at a time and booting. Then you'll see which is the problem. Easy first one: hdd [14:03] Utopia_: I've found that about 40% of HP models won't work with Linux as is ... but I've also found that some of them will work if ACPI is turned off in BIOS first [14:03] dr_willis: trying that [14:03] goatWalkerZ, what does alt f2 metacity --replace do [14:03] ubottu: umm? so it's installed automatically with libsdl? [14:03] nocilis: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:03] nocilis: if trying to compile a package in the repos. you can use the 'build-dep' option in apt to pull in all the ndeede -dev packages also. [14:03] Yea it's horrible place to get stuck, no commadline (working) or anything =( [14:03] only the purple screen =( [14:04] edbian, getting unity to a place where it's not buggy will likely take more effort than I'm willing to expend (I gotta pay the rent). [14:04] edbian, Like I said, I've got most of the stuff I like about it. I have docky + gnome-do for launching, and I figured out how to get app-menus using the appmenu indicator applet. The only thing left is the maximizing feature. If that's something I can't replicate w/o unity then I'm fine without it. I was just asking here just in case there was something I wasn't aware of. [14:04] Excusme, anybody here can show to me, where is the tutorial configuration mailgraph on ubuntu 10.04 [14:04] Utopia_ -- tried switching to a different virtual terminal? [14:04] but ok, try to turn off ACPI first.. and for this test i can't remove Hd's i'm only using 1 atm [14:04] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Keyring: "GNOME Keyring is a daemon application designed to take care of the user's security credentials, such as user names and passwords. The sensitive data is encrypted and stored in a keyring file in the user's home folder." What is the name of this file in Natty? [14:04] savid: There used to be a gnome-applet called maximizer. See if that is still around [14:04] !keyring [14:04] bazhang: "compiz --replace" or "metacity --replace" or in other words reloading the window manager or changing the window decorator didn't help [14:04] PhonicUK, you could use the alternate cd which has a much better partitioner [14:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/645400/ [14:05] Dr_willis: you know a way to colortail -f all logs togheter instead of seperate, so i can see realtime changes in any of /var/log [14:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/645400/ does this bad? what should i do? [14:05] goatWalkerZ, which theme and which window-decorator are you using === agent13 is now known as Guest99091 [14:05] savid: They put the feature you're talking about into maximizer and then they moved everything and now call it unity. [14:05] lotuspsychje: cat them all, and pipe it into colortail perhaps. [14:05] robin0800, i just found out its because the hard disk is failing its SMART test and has bad sectors xD [14:05] so its refusing to do much [14:05] lotuspsychje: that may be a big mess. :) [14:05] gotta RMA the drive [14:05] bazhang: emerald window decorator and compiz as the wm [14:05] May I know how to create a dialer for an ADSL modem running in bridged mode? [14:05] anyone know why i might be getting so many errors retriving libs during install? [14:05] dr_willis: lol [14:06] Hello, is anyone able to help me out regarding 11.04 installation onto ext USB HDD? I get as far as partitioning and then it decides not to recognise the USB drive (even though the Live booted OS does).... help plz :) PM me if need. [14:06] goatWalkerZ, I'd see emerald as the issue as its no longer maintained nor supported [14:06] lotuspsychje: some of the files in /var/log dir. I think are 'binary' data. so you dont want to cat them [14:06] hmm - dr_willis... it now seems like I can apt-get libsdl1.2-dev [14:06] melvincv, Perhaps this will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1706341 [14:06] nocilis: thats the package name. :) [14:06] Thanks! [14:06] dr_willis but it wasn't showing up in the package manager [14:06] nocilis: it did here... [14:06] apt-cache search libsdl | grep dev :) [14:06] melvincv, Sorry it took me so long to find. :-) [14:06] dr_willis: ive read up a tool multitail, it can tail seperate logs [14:06] bazhang: so how do I fix this? If I want to remove emerald window manager [14:07] goatWalkerZ: emerald is a window decorator. not a window manager. [14:07] dr_willis: but i was wondering if logs can be tracked in one central place? [14:07] dr_willis yeah I tried that and it found it, so thanks for your help. It's working now :D [14:07] lotuspsychje: theres so many things taht can be done with logs and logservers its scary.. so proberly can.. but i never need to do it. [14:07] bazhang: sorry I mean will it be fixed if I remove it [14:08] goatWalkerZ, not sure, I've never had that issue and not used emerald in several years [14:08] lotuspsychje: you can configure syslog to log in single file See /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf [14:08] oCean: Helo, thanks for your suggestion. The script success running for 5 minutes first. But, when I try again that's fault.. [14:08] lotuspsychje: unix has been logging multiple logs from different machines onto one before Linus even went to school === afterdark is now known as Richard === Richard is now known as Richard_43 [14:09] does #css logged? [14:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/645400/ does this bad? what should i do? [14:09] oCean: is there any effect of changing the time I do ? [14:09] ronqbc, ask them [14:09] Hello, guys. Maybe you can take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/53327/screen-is-going-crazy-after-connecting-to-wi-fi-network and help me? Please. [14:09] venol: I don't understand.. changing the time? [14:09] I can stand Windoze! [14:09] *cant [14:10] dagrevis: ha [14:10] Thanks, but why doesn't the DSL tab work??? [14:10] daGrevis: yeah, Windows makes people mistype contractions [14:10] ocean: tnx lemme try that [14:10] oCean: Oh thanks, that's solved. I just need restart the cron. :) [14:10] It worked, till I logged in as a desktop user. [14:10] damn, ´ this doesnt work [14:10] venol: ok! [14:10] ironic, huh? [14:11] daGrevis: what I can't stand are people that like Windows [14:11] edbian, is it "maximus" that you're talking about? [14:11] Skaperen: stay on topic please [14:11] i am having trouble with my moblie broadband connection [14:11] savid: sure! [14:11] oCean, can you help me? [14:11] haha [14:11] savid: Why do you say that? [14:11] oCean: I did [14:11] its getting disconnected automatically [14:12] can any one help me plz....before it get disconnected [14:12] it recognize my device, but when try to connect... it just doesnt do anything. just tried and thats all. fater few minutes it asks psw again/ [14:12] any idea why I gotta type in my pass 4 times until i can actually use my ubuntu? the settings are changed to auto-login, so i don't log in from the login screen. Also, I definetely didn't mistype it, as it doesn't say that and it's _always exactly 4 times_ [14:12] daGrevis: nope [14:12] oCean, damn. [14:12] any1 else? [14:12] daGrevis: Are you logging into unity or ubuntu classic or ubuntu classic no-effects [14:13] Gama11: you mean the keyring is poping up 4 times? [14:13] edbian, well, you called it "maximizer" earlier -- but I couldn't find anything on that. wanted to make sure it was the same thing you were talking about. not sure yet. [14:13] edbian, xubuntu - xfce. [14:13] How do I change the video resolution on my terminal sessions? [14:13] savid: I think you found it and I remembered the name wrong. [14:13] daGrevis: Do you have desktop effects running? [14:13] stercor: the consoles can use the framebuffer tools to change their res. fbset and a fes other fb* commands. [14:13] newbie question: i mounted a second hard drive yesterday after formatting it as ext4. i can see it but it does not let me create any files or folders. It is a permissions problem so i tried chmod in terminal but that is not working either. any advice? [14:14] edbian, what do u mean with that? There arent such mega effects in xfce. just simple desktop. and it works, ye. [14:14] mrk1: set the permissions and ownership of the mountpoint to be owned by your user. Or make a directory in the drive/mouintpoint and chown.chmod that. [14:14] mrk1: sudo chown -R you:you /path/to/folder/with/hdd/mounted/in/it [14:14] That was a long path! [14:14] mrk1: That will make you the owner [14:14] hey guys help me please.......... [14:14] !permissions | mrk1 [14:14] mrk1: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [14:15] could anyone help with this question? http://askubuntu.com/questions/53332/lost-access-to-my-files-after-changing-plan [14:15] Hmm. I guess updating my Ubuntu box should iron out some bugs... hope it fixes the DSL one too. [14:15] i can't get to my files on ubuntu one anymore [14:15] Dr_Willis: exactly. [14:15] daGrevis: What wifi card do you have? What driver are you using? What video card do you have. what driver are you using for that? [14:15] ehnde: you may want to try the #ubuntuone channel [14:15] ehnde, also try in #ubuntuone [14:15] Dr_Willis: thanks, i had no idea there was a channel for that [14:15] daGrevis: what video card are you using? seems maybe the driver for it is fubar === hgfdfgh is now known as puzzones [14:15] !ask | cybervolfe: [14:15] cybervolfe:: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:15] can anyone tell me why 11.04 live recognises my ext usb hdd, but then the installer wont? [14:16] Gama11: you can reset the keyring, and have it use unsafe storage. so it never asks.. if you wanted. it could be 4 differnt apps accessing the keyring at the same time.. ive never had it be an issue [14:16] dr willis thanks [14:16] edbian thanks [14:16] xertia: is it partitioned? [14:16] If not, may I know where to report the bug in Network Connections GUI? [14:16] mrk1: sure [14:16] mrk1: Did that fix it? [14:16] edbian: i am having trouble with the mobile broadband connection [14:16] xertia: Is it mounted? [14:16] !bug > melvincv [14:16] melvincv, please see my private message [14:16] yep, just used gparted to create ext4 (bootable) and swap partitions on it, then launched installation, get to allocating disk and it wont show up ?? [14:17] edbian, i have linksys wusb60n stick. i did all like in this tut - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/linksys-wusb600n-driver-and-dlink-dwl-ag132-driver-622449/ . i dont know what v0car i have, but its on-board. and no drivers for it. just native for linux. [14:17] xertia: I've found that the installer fails on certain partition limits of its own being exceeded [14:17] edbian:it getting disconnected automatically [14:17] Gama11: keyring files are in ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ it seems [14:17] edbian i am trying it out now ill let you know [14:17] xertia: Just cause you partitioned it does not mean it's mounted. In fact it means those partitions are probably unmounted [14:17] cybervolfe: what? [14:17] oCean: so it can harm if i change /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf all seperate lines to /var/log/general or something? [14:17] xertia: ive had cases where ive needed to reboot after repartitioning a disk. for the os to see the new changes. [14:17] xertia: did you partition on mbr or gpt format? any partition numbers above 15 ? [14:17] cant.. [14:18] guys I installed sendmail, but it doesn't run on port 25 even after I changed daemon_netmode to dynamic in sendmail.conf [14:18] mbr i believe... [14:18] anybody have experience with that ? [14:18] dr_willis: yeah i tried a reboot [14:18] edbian:yes ,the internet connection is getting disconnected automatically [14:18] the device (ie. /hda) doesn't even appear in the disk allocation list [14:18] Dr_Willis: I've got quite a few indicators in my systray - possible that they want me to type in the pass.... [14:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLfe1UlHD4 [14:19] I have this problem! [14:19] xertia: does the device show up in the output of the command (from a terminal): cat /proc/partitions [14:19] watch toe video, ot shows it [14:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLfe1UlHD4 [14:19] edbian:i am using ubuntu 10.04 [14:19] please help me [14:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLfe1UlHD4 [14:19] daGrevis: reading... [14:19] skaperen: yes it does [14:19] thecooldick: I will answer simply because you have a video and that is fun. Watching... [14:19] lotuspsychje: it's been a while since I've changed the syslog config. Anyway backup the file before you edit.. But I think it is possible to let every priority log to its own logfile AND add a 2nd "general" logfile [14:20] thecooldick, stop it, that has zero to with ubuntu [14:20] can someone ban suzy_ ? he/she's spamming new joiners [14:20] thecooldick: ... ? [14:20] edbian:but there is no problem with the connection in the backtrack linux [14:20] Skaperen, fint navn du har der! [14:21] cybervolfe: This is the ubuntu channel. Not backtrack [14:21] please! someone help me [14:21] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLfe1UlHD4 [14:21] daGrevis: What driver are you using right now then? does lspci show the device?? [14:22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Keyring: "GNOME Keyring is a daemon application designed to take care of the user's security credentials, such as user names and passwords. The sensitive data is encrypted and stored in a keyring file in the user's home folder." What is the name of this file in Natty? [14:22] edbian:hey i just told the symptoms [14:22] Baltazaar: jeg stjal den [14:22] im a little lost with this one... might give up on the idea of installing to the usb... which means not installing ubuntu at all :\ [14:22] edbian, can u tell me how to now what driver am i using? im new to linux. what info do u need and how can I get it? [14:22] cybervolfe: This is ubuntu support, not backtrack [14:22] edbian:please help me man [14:22] oCean: would be cool to colortail all log warnings, lemme try that :p [14:22] Skaperen, med mindre du ER skaperen, så gjorde du nok det... [14:22] bazhang: hey it's me, markus' driver might've worked but all I'm getting is the lines continuously going up the network manager icon and i asking for my encryption key [14:23] daGrevis: sure, sudo lspci -k Does that output show the device? (if yes it will list the driver) It is long. You can use paste.ubuntu.com for me to read it if you like.

[14:30] ikonia:oh my god ,what would i do ,i have intstalled backtrack in my system thats true [14:30] lotuspsychje: there aren't any hotspots around I can try and yeah the card drivers are installed...I think [14:30] edbian thank you it worked and i understand it much better now [14:30] mrk1: awesome :) [14:30] Hey [14:30] cinnabar12: might be that ubuntu is not the reason you can connect to it... [14:31] cant [14:31] ikonia:but now i am using ubuntu 10.04 for god's sake [14:31] cybervolfe: ok, so if your using backtrack, the best place and correct place to ask in #backtrack-linux there are some good guys there [14:31] how can I get src/recompile when most of the fs is read only?

A computer here with Ubuntu 9/10 point something ends up in grub but whatever choice I make, it gives the error "target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. No init found, try passing init= bootarg" and then goes to busybox [14:44] u see, there r two versions of my stick. and i have v2. [14:44] bullgard4: i think its called secring in .gnupg folder, [14:44] I have a livedisk Ubuntu 6.6, and tried to unmount, but that doesn't do the magic... [14:44] daGrevis: This website is the most up to date most reliable source: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB [14:44] bsmith093: And not pubring.gpg? [14:44] daGrevis: It lists rt2800usb for all versions (it's for down on the list) [14:45] would anyone have an idea how to tackle this issue with booting? [14:45] bullgard4: possibly, im not entirely sure [14:45] szal, what i dunno? [14:45] bsmith093: Ok. [14:45] effeietsanders: I had a similar problem that was maybe even the same thing [14:45] effeietsanders, 6.06?

[14:45] nocilis: I found many solutions :) none worked so far [14:45] effeietsanders, try 11.04 or something else supported [14:46] Krenair: no problem :-) [14:46] ikonia:now u believe [14:46] effeietsanders: if you want to try getting the files off try booting into a livecd/liveusb and mounting the filesystem [14:46] bullgard4: pubring.gpg holds your public gpg-keys, secring the secure-keys [14:46] bazhang: The live disk is mainly helpful to run a terminal and fix issues, not to install :) [14:46] effeietsanders: exactly [14:46] cybervolfe: truthfully no, but there maybe others in the channel that do [14:47] effeietsanders: what exactly is it you are trying to do? [14:47] llutz_: And which one is wikipedia referring to? [14:47] Hello there [14:47] bullgard4: checked: ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring? [14:47] nocilis: I'm trying to fix it - if that is realistic [14:47] edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/645417/ [14:47] bullgard4: or: ~/.gnome2/keyrings/* [14:47] auth [14:47] effeietsanders: hmm not sure how you'd do that [14:48] anyone know how to get a rt3090 wireless card working?

[14:48] nocilis: i found several posts online who say they fixed it with gparted [14:48] hi. what is the command to check partition usage [14:48] but it seems that the 6.6 version of gparted doesn't have the "check" option that is needed [14:49] puzzones: that there is an Italian channel.. your English is a sight for sore eyes, so you might get better help there [14:49] M4d3L: df -h [14:49] so if someone could help me with doing that through the terminal... === netsurf3_ is now known as netsurf3 [14:49] effeietsanders: yeah I can't help, sorry [14:49] llutz_: I had a look into the directory ~/.gnome2/keyrings the other day. This did not answer the question which I have put here today. [14:49] effeietsanders, get the gparted live cd iso [14:49] effeietsanders, 60mb dl [14:50] edbian, u mean.. connect? before i saw that there r no firmware for it. then i compile drivers, add something to blacklist and other stuff (not sure) - as said in that tut. and then it didnt show that there are no firmware. i can see all networks and when i try to connect my network... it asks for psw. i enter it... it tries to connect and after few minutes it ask for psw again.

[14:51] Hey, my friend need some help, he wanna know if his system is 32 or 64 bits [14:51] It's Focusyn [14:51] Please, somebody can help? [14:51] daGrevis: Are you getting errors about missing firmware right now? [14:51] Axelaxel12: look at the output of uname -m [14:51] effeietsanders, you said the 6.06 version did not have what you need for gparted, get the latest one then 60mb dl live cd iso [14:52] edbian, no. all seems to be working. just i cant connect to my network. [14:52] espera Axelaxel12 se han despertado en el otro canal [14:52] ok [14:52] pruebo lo que me dicen ahi [14:52] anyone know how to get an rt3090 wireless card to work?

[14:54] any ideas why my wlanhas an awfully unstable latency on my linux mint on a mac mini? .. the latency on the wlan itself should be fine, I tested with several other wireless client devices and they get a stable <10ms ping just fine, but the mac mini gets a highly unstable ping generally around 300-1500ms, but moves around 5-3000ms... all tested clients were within ~30cm of eachother, distance to router <1m [14:54] My usb not supporting [14:54] i use ubuntu 9.10 [14:54] lietu, try the mint support channel, its not supported here [14:54] hi guys [14:54] GeekMan: there are plenty of example rsync scripts on the net that can be modified [14:54] sktn07: 9.10 is end of life, you may wish to consider upgrading [14:55] I have a question about ssh/scp [14:55] erm, mint is basically ubuntu anyways, shouldn't make much difference [14:55] !mintsupport | lietu [14:55] lietu: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[15:01] 1984? lol.. [15:01] :) [15:02] Dr_Willis: Is there a workaround using the keyboard for the frozen mouse? [15:02] daGrevis: I'm not really sure why that driver isn't working. The site I linked does not list any documenation so I'm guessing the driver is incomplete. Have a look at rt2x00 it's some graphical tool for the driver we modprobed. If you restart the machine it will be back to how it was before I ran any commands. All we did was insert the rt2800 module and look around a bit. [15:02] I'm not sure what else to do here! :( [15:02] avinashhm: did you run 'sudo apt-get update' before installing?

Any suggestions?

Any ideas on how to fix this? [15:04] avinashhm: you seem not to know the difference between 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'.. [15:04] daGrevis: whoa, those are all your radion driver freaking out. [15:04] cinnabar12: What's your problem exactly? [15:04] daGrevis: It's incomplete so not very useful [15:04] edbian, im glad that it isnt my linksys.. =D [15:05] edbian, its all that i got from that cmd. or no? [15:05] szal, ok .. got it actually .. its only for apt / pkg utility .. ll update and then try .. thanks man .. [15:05] daGrevis: Ahh, it's probably left over from last time it happened. How did you get your graphics back after it freaked out? [15:06] szal, thanks man .. this works like charm .. [15:06] edbian, last time? i installed linux today. [15:06] daGrevis: Last time that the grahpics freaked [15:07] edbian, hmm. i just unplugged computer from electricity. and thats all. all seems to worked. [15:07] daGrevis: what? [15:09] edbian, my computers screen wnt like in these images... http://askubuntu.com/questions/53327/screen-is-going-crazy-after-connecting-to-wi-fi-network and then i just plugged out my computer from electricity.

[15:09] Hi , i have installed standard vlc in ubuntu .. when i open a file , it plays for like 5 seconds and then closes down .. .this was working fine a week back and started like this today .. re installed it, but didn't help .. is there any way to get log when i launch vlc ? [15:10] it.net [15:10] Hey all [15:10] hello [15:10] edbian, what battery power? its desktop. not laptop. i plugged out it and it shutted down. no electicity - its off. then i plugged electricity again and all worked. [15:10] anyone using komodo [15:10] ? [15:10] first run it from the terminal and see if anything interested pops up [15:11] daGrevis: I'm not sure what the problem is then :( [15:11] Sorry! [15:11] edbian, maybe its ebecause of 64 bits I have? in that topic... they say that it works only wth 32 bits. What do u think? [15:12] avinashhm, what kind of file / [15:12] daGrevis: That sounds extremely likely to me [15:12] BluesKaj, both mp3 as well as AVI file .. [15:13] edbian, i dont like out-dated architetures, but I wiould better use 32 bits linux then 64 bits windoze. ;( [15:13] BluesKaj, if it helps mp3 logs @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/645426/ [15:13] avinashhm, what about other media players [15:13] daGrevis: it's called Windows [15:13] Anyone know why my two ubuntu boxes can't see each other's avahi services?

What's the best course of action to find out what is causing this? [15:14] i only have the file-help panels. i tryed this link and it didnt work. can someone please tell me how to get my application and system panels working again. [15:14] http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [15:14] goetter: that sounds like either a firewall or routing [15:14] Both on the same switch though :/ [15:14] daGrevis: 32 bits isn't outdated yet! [15:14] daGrevis: :D [15:14] When trying to connect to the wireless, the screen goes black with lots of text and the last error to appear on the screen is "panic occurred, switching back to text console". Any suggestions? It's an Asus 1001P netbook.

This conflicts with the name 'rtorrent' So you have to tell the package manager to butt out.

[15:40] edbian: hey [15:40] dli: Wireless, yes. [15:41] BDR What card do you have? [15:41] i have 10.04 and i want to upgrade to 11.04. it should show up in the update manager, right? even after i checked "show normal releases" i still don't see it. [15:41] zaxius: sudo apt-get update first maybe? [15:41] dli I already checked my alsamixer there that got my sound card but why it didnt work at my speker ?? [15:41] edbian: It's an Intersil 3886 but the adapter is working fine (as in Linux recognizes it and can use it to detect wireless networks) [15:41] zaxius: It should show up after you do that. [15:41] zaxius, what about: sudo do-release-update [15:41] actually, now i see 10.10. do i have to get 10.10, then 11.04? [15:41] anyone knows why themes changes on natty boot? [15:41] zaxius: supported upgrade path is from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04 [15:41] BDR: Then what is the issue? [15:42] ah got it [15:42] thanks guys [15:42] edbian: it just can't connect to the router/modem combo [15:42] dli : it works on my headphone [15:42] sadi, volume muting for speakers and headphone is different [15:42] BDR: try to connect then pastebin the output of dmesg is that possible ? [15:42] hi can someone please help me? I am trying to check 2 SSDs for errors, I am using Ubuntu Live CD [15:42] sadi, just confirm you unmute everything, and increase volume everything [15:43] sadi, also, make sure you have no pulseaudio running [15:43] edbian: I'm not running Linux on the computer I'm chatting with and I can't get online with the computer I'm trying to fix. [15:43] dli, how could i unmutie that speaker [15:43] simo_: why do you think they have errors [15:43] simo_:whats the problem with your ssd's? [15:43] edbian: so I doubt it [15:43] dli, I've done that by alsamixer [15:43] but still have problem [15:43] BDR, the only problem is connection between router and your computer, right? [15:44] BDR: Alright. Do what i said and just manually read the last 20 lines or so and dmesg. See if it says anything about hte connection (it probably will) [15:44] dli: yes, wifi networks show up for him) [15:44] edbian, what encryption? [15:44] My pc restarts quite often, I checked the ram for errors but found nothing. I suspect it's the SSDs. [15:44] dli: IDK [15:44] dli, If I use mint 10 or ubuntu 10.10 then I got sound from ma speaker [15:44] BDR, what encrption? [15:44] simo_: I suspect it's not, as if it was you'd get errors [15:44] simo_:on natty? [15:45] simo_: is the PC just hard resetting ? [15:45] dli, what should I do now?? [15:45] BDR: turning off encryption temporarily is a good starting place [15:45] sadi, so, it's nothing to do with hardware [15:45] Amarok is sad.. [15:45] sadi, can you stop pulseaudio by something like: sudo killall pulseaudio, or pkill -9 pulseaudio [15:46] lotuspsychje yea I'm on 11.04 [15:46] not [15:46] simo_: did you check on ubuntu logs for errors? [15:46] ikonia I think it is hard resetting. [15:46] dli no nt at all [15:46] simo_: ok, so it's very very very unlikley it's a disk problem [15:47] sadi, what not? [15:47] dli, I didn't kill pulseaudio === Lomex_off is now known as Lomex [15:47] edbian: I'll try turning off encryption - 'dmesg' got a lot of try time outs in the last 20 lines [15:48] lotusspychje no i didn't check ubuntu log, i don't know how to, btw i was using Windows [15:48] BDR, disable encryption at the router end [15:48] BDR: That's a bit vague. Yes try turning encryption off [15:48] hi [15:49] I can't install ubuntu on laptop, have tried 4 cds [15:49] simo_:like ikonia sais i also dont think its ssd thats broken...i would go for bios and check cpu temperature [15:49] ikonia, i thought hard resetting was only done manually? [15:49] jig, can you try USB? [15:49] jig: what happens? [15:49] simo_: no, [15:49] no laptop doesn't recognize boot usb [15:49] I tried ubuntu regular, alternate, xubuntu alternate, and minimal [15:49] simo_:did you have those resets on natty too instead of windows? [15:50] everything it sort of freezes at the boot menu, the keyboard doesn't work [15:50] jig, make sure you verify the data when burning CD [15:50] test [15:50] dli, are you a developer?? could you please give me any module for that speaker??My speaker is from ALTEC LANSING [15:50] lotuspsychje, I was just gonna say that, nope ubuntu live cd runs perfect [15:50] jig, BTW, grub2 supports USB booting by default, even if your BIOS doesn't support USB booting [15:50] what dose it mean when it says ibus failed? [15:51] simo_: pc reboots does come from corrupt windows lol... [15:51] so, Im using x11vnc, and managed to get the nvidia drivers to load by faking a screen by using Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT" in the "Device" for the nvidia.. works fine. However, I only get 800x600 resolution! How can I increase this? (yes, I want to avoid having a real monitor connected) [15:51] what can I do? the keyboard acts dead at the boot menu every time [15:51] I tried adding modes for the "Screen" but didnt work [15:51] i had trouble with unity so i reset it but now Ctrl+Alt+T donsnt work nor does Alt+F2 [15:52] sadi, if you can get sound from headphone, alsa works already, the problem is control, not driver [15:52] Can anyone recommend a webhosting company that does NOT use cpanel. I want a plane jane virtual server that I configure myself. [15:52] I heard that in alsa 1.0.24.1 it make problem with ALTEC speaker [15:52] lotuspsychje Yea I am aware of that and that is why I formatted my SSD (RAID 0) and installed WIn again, the prob is still there [15:53] is there a boot cd that doesn't have a splash screen? I think maybe my graphics card is screwing it up [15:53] jig, if it's an option, take the hard drive to another computer, like in an enclosure, install from there [15:53] jig, you can try "safe graphics' mode [15:53] dli, should I have to kill pulse audio?? [15:54] I can't try anything because it freezes as soon as it comes up [15:54] sadi, kill pulse, just for testing [15:54] ok [15:54] edbian: I've turned off the security settings and it's taking a rather long time to connect. [15:55] simo_: we cant discuss win probs here so, i suggest you stick to good ol ubuntu :p [15:55] jig, please read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [15:55] BDR, but it connects, right? [15:55] BDR: Does it connect at all? [15:55] lucidguy: Not really relevant here, but a lot of VPS hosts don't use cPanel. [15:56] that's useless unless there's a way to edit the cd so it is already configured [15:56] lotuspsychje I need windows for some softwares to run, I just wanna try the disk check and thats all [15:56] dli, no pluse audio found [15:56] Hello, guys! I have a problem with Ubuntu. I've just installed it on a brand new PC and after restart it won't go further than the ubuntu logo. [15:56] Could someone please give me a hand? [15:57] sadi, another point, install pulseaudio, and play with pavucontrol [15:57] asen: with what? [15:57] simo_: ssd drives dont work like physical drives, im pretty sure nothings wrong with your ssd [15:57] edbian: I described my problem a few lines up [15:57] asen, try to remove 'quiet splash' kernel parameters in grub [15:57] asen: Does it freeze or go black? [15:57] asen: Yes, remove those kernel options [15:58] ok, dli [15:58] I suppose it freezes - like I said, I heard the log-on sound and it's been displaying only the velvetish background with the ububtu logo for 15 minutes now [15:58] can I kill the splash screen before I get to it, cause my graphics card is screwing it up... what the hell is the point of an alternate cd with a graphics splash screen [15:58] how do I remove the quiet splash? === superlou is now known as Bakies__ [15:59] asen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 === Bakies__ is now known as superlou [15:59] asen, press 'e' when grub shows you bootup entries [15:59] asen: Look at the one about temporarily on an installed OS (not wubi) [15:59] If you have wubi then follow thos [15:59] dli, give me the terminal command please [16:00] sadi, sudo vi /etc/default/grub; sudo update-grub [16:00] Thanks, guys! I'll see what happens next and will get back to you. [16:00] since I cant install it any other way can I use wubi and then make that a full installation? [16:01] itz grub command not the pluse audio [16:01] sadi, sorry, sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol; pulseaudio --start;pavucontrol [16:02] Hi, i'm using 11.04 and want to change the order of applications in launcher. i've seen a couple of guides but they tell me to look at gconf-editor > desktop > unity-2d. but i don't have unity-2d section there ..

[16:04] any suggestions? [16:04] * Dr_Willis missed the problem === david is now known as Guest5646 === Guest5646 is now known as abcff [16:06] edbian: here's a non timeout line from dmesg = [3888.703867] type=1400 audit(1310553298.513:86): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/dev/.udev/data/b11:0" pid=1999 comm="evince" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 [16:06] hi i am having it go to lock wean i tell it to never do that can you help [16:06] edbian: it's an intersil 3886 [16:06] All right, so I removed the quiet splash and added nomodeset, but I still don't see the OS itself. Right now it's frozen at "Stopping userspace bootsplash [OK]" [16:07] BDR: That dmesg has nothing to do with your wifi. [16:07] asen: That's useful. We can both start googling it. [16:07] edbian: Sorry, not real experienced with the messages. [16:07] BDR: What driver? sudo lspci -k [16:07] BDR: That's ok. evince is a pdf veiwer [16:08] dli, error E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I run ubuntu 10.04, and after installing a recent update my comp froze up, so I reboot, and then I get thrown into a (initramfs)? Uh, what do? [16:09] Okay, I'm typing this from my laptop right now so I am unable to copy paste anything from the box that is with the problem (lacks networking). [16:10] BDR: That has a lot to do with wifi but it is not immediately helpful. How about that driver? [16:10] hi. I installed clutter lib to my system (to use it in my development in future). now I'm trying to compile a simple example, but gcc+netbeans wasnt able to find clutter.h. so I found it and edited this example. but now in clutter.h gcc+netbeans cant finde glib.h which already installed in system. Where I can add kind of alias to glib.h and the actual path to this header file? (ubuntu) [16:12] edbian: I believe it's r8169 still, as I was dissuaded from the ndiswrapper + remove original driver solution yesterday. [16:12] anthony_dev, you can do command line option for gcc: gcc -I /path/to/ for headers [16:12] edbian: (which worked, in that the computer recognized the adapter, but it can't talk to the network) [16:12] BDR: sudo lspci -k will tell you which driver is being used.

[16:13] My printer isn't showing the URF record it's supposed to show [16:14] edbian: a moment, since literally none of the info from lspci directly refers to the adapter. [16:14] BDR: Is this a usb device? [16:14] Does anybody who knows libvirt storage pool? [16:14] edbian: yes [16:14] ah, had to check "share printers connected to this system". [16:14] BDR: Ahh, that's why :P [16:15] edbian: I already know the 1630:0005 number too! [16:15] BDR: sudo lsmod | grep r8169 [16:15] edbian: will do [16:15] BDR: you using wpa personal on natty? [16:17] lotuspsychje: i turned off all wireless security from the router [16:17] lotuspsychje: said router isn't hooked into linux [16:18] BDR: i had disconnects from wifi wpa personal on natty, had to switch to WEP to get it working on rtl card [16:18] hi [16:19] does Konqueror safe? can i install it on gnome? [16:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/645400/ does this bad? what should i do? [16:19] lotuspsychje: it wasn't working on WEP, kept returning authentication requests - now without security, it has been trying for at least 15 mins to connect without success [16:19] ronqbc, you can installl it in gnome [16:19] i've big problems using irc. the chat delay in 5 min. why? [16:19] BDR: did you clean install natty or update? [16:20] Abhijit, why i don't see this browser in the list? [16:21] edbian: "r8169 42534 0" is the result (tab between r8169 and 42534) [16:21] lotuspsychje: I can't update - I can't get online, thus can't pull anything from the Internet. [16:21] BDR: That means the r8169 driver is loaded but not being used. I'm not sure what the problem is. [16:21] O.o [16:22] dli, no sound till now [16:22] ronqbc, i think its conkeror [16:22] isn't Abhijit [16:22] ok [16:23] Brasero (burning tool) says 100% Done but is creating an image checksum, and the ETA is slowly creeping up. It's been doing this for 2 hours now [16:23] how may i solcve this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/645400/ [16:23] is it safe to stop Brasero? [16:23] ronqbc, but why you want konqeror? [16:23] lotuspsychje: I *can* reinstall linux but I've already done that like twice now. This is a brand new computer in so far as it was put together on Wednesday and this install is like from Thursday/Friday or so. [16:23] BDR: one day i had to add cd-rom to update my system in synaptic, before it loaded the correct wifi driver (when i could not axs the web) [16:23] dli, no sound till now [16:23] dli, no sound till now [16:24] lotuspsychje: also the only thing I put on so far was a fix to make Linux recognize my adapter, which worked as I can see my router with it. [16:24] Abhijit, i don't need it. just out of curiosity [16:24] asterix is not in repo? [16:24] ronqbc, no idea [16:25] dli, no sound till now [16:25] BDR, what did you do to make it see your router? [16:26] i've a real problem in xchat. i'm trying to assign sounds to events from the settings but they disappear after a closure. why? [16:27] BDR: installing ubuntu without internet is always pain in the ass lol [16:27] lotuspsychje: I was not expecting that!

As for the Linux computer, I've been actively using it for about 2-3 days so I don't know where anything is - you'll have to tell me what you mean by '10.0.4' unless that's the IP I have to go to in Firefox, in which case I'll do that.

I've just told you to resarch what file system is on the phone, and then suggested that linux may not be the best way to do it, I'm not guiding you [16:57] i am back here in this room! woo hooo [16:57] i perfect know :D i'm using vlc instead of totem but ok.. when i put a disk in...nothing happens.. and if i double click on it stills open just the folder [16:57] OerHeks, i perfect know :D i'm using vlc instead of totem but ok.. when i put a disk in...nothing happens.. and if i double click on it stills open just the folder [16:57] gorgonzola: it's probably not binding to the wifi access point, so not getting an IP [16:57] ikonia, it is binding, it is dhclient that fails after waiting for dhcp leases. [16:57] is getting a google+ invite that hard? [16:58] gorgonzola: how do you know it's connecting [16:58] KennyX: that's offtopic here [16:58] ikonia, the problem is completely erratic. some ap wrk, some don't right now i was at one that was supposed to wrk reliably, now it is not working again. [16:58] KennyX yes. [16:58] oh sorry for asking [16:58] gorgonzola: then either a.) your dhcp server has ran out of leases b.) your client is not connecting to the access point [16:58] really? it is easy for me. i can invite people [16:59] ;( [16:59] ikonia ah. [16:59] ikonia i hadn't thougth of that.... i'm mostly using public ap's as i'm travelling in europe... [16:59] gorgonzola: they are the most realistic options [16:59] hey all [17:00] ikonia it sounds very reasonable. it just hadn't occurred to me. the depths of ap admins' imcompetence defy the imagination.

[17:00] tip* [17:00] guys: I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 on a 4GB flash drive and managed to remove the 4.4GB free space requirement, but the Installer crashed because it ran out of space on the 2.28GB parition I created. So do you know how much actual space does it need? And can I create the Swap partition really small - like 300MB for example? [17:00] welcome [17:01] hello again [17:01] i am doing an install from the cli mini iso, got a system up but i don't know the name of the package that helps with installing hardware drivers, like for nvidia [17:01] I am just curious. is there a way for me to chat on irc freenode on a Chrome OS notebook? i can't access #ubuntu on irc.freenode because freenode blocks mibbit. i had to install Ubuntu on it, and install irssi [17:03] KennyX: how is chrome OS something #ubuntu should support ? [17:03] how can i make windows semi transperent? [17:03] KennyX: I suggest you read the topic of this channel [17:03] cyperbg: if you have 1g ram, you can get by without swap [17:03] chrome os is built with canonical. it is ubuntu base [17:03] ChogyDan, I have 2GB of ram - so you are saying it i safe NOT to create a parition for SWAP? [17:03] KennyX: chome isn't an OS built with canonical - [17:04] KennyX: keep in mind we support 'Ubuntu here [17:04] what is the name of the package to install for the restricted drivers manager? [17:04] cyperbg: yes, it is safe at 1g. I have 2g myself, and I have almost never used the swap that I have [17:04] skrite: it's installed by default [17:04] did you read the news? canonical and google made chrome os [17:04] KennyX: no [17:04] ikonia: well, i installed from a mini.iso [17:04] KennyX: this isn't canonical support either, it's "ubuntu" support [17:04] cyperbg, ChogyDan: I wouldn't bet on that [17:05] i am using ubuntu 11.04 on a cr-48 === leeech is now known as leeechmob [17:05] sharing the chrome os kernal [17:05] cyperbg: I don't think you want swap on a flash drive anyway, right?

It is not an actual flash drive with memory cells, but it has a mini HDD inside [17:06] I've got the printer part working but cant get the scanner to work. [17:06] szal, so what is the lowest I can get on the swap space? [17:06] hmm ok thankx man ikonia; [17:07] hello there [17:07] cyperbg: ok, as long as it isn't solid state. regardless, you'll be fine without swap [17:07] would anyone pastebin for me output from this from latest (factory) ubuntu: `nm /lib/libc.so.6 | grep \ GLIBC_' [17:07] cyperbg: pretty much depends on your desktop environment and usage, but with the 'heavy' ones (= KDE, Gnome), 2 GB can get damn close to full [17:08] cyperbg: and when that is the case and you have no swap, things will get messy [17:08] szal, it won't be used as a desktop machine - it will be rather light installation that will be working 24/7 as a Mining rig (Bitcoin) [17:08] ikonia, you version me [17:08] KennyX: correct [17:08] how can i make windows semi transperent? [17:08] would anyone pastebin for me output from this from latest (factory) ubuntu: `nm /lib/libc.so.6 | grep \ GLIBC_' [17:11] i version myself too [17:11] why did you do it? [17:11] how do I rebuild a partition table? [17:11] KennyX: I was curious to what you are running, that is offtopic here though [17:11] I resized a partition with GParted from 900GB to two 450GB partitions. Now GParted sees only one partition of 900GB, and sees it as more full than it really is. mount /dev/sdb1 shows the correct information [17:11] nettezzaumana: on stock natty that would print something like: no symbol table. [17:11] nettezzaumana: I don't have that file... [17:11] Chrome OS and Ubuntu 11.04. using the Chrome OS kernel 2.6.38.3+ on Ubuntu [17:11] KennyX: yes, you said that, that's why it's not supported here [17:11] nettezzaumana: (for the file in /lib/ [17:11] okay, i was just curious about the work around on getting on here [17:11] KennyX good luck finding support for that... [17:11] Ampelbein, ChogyDan oh really .. just work it out please and dig out from it that info or just upload it somewhere please ... it's small [17:12] anyone have any ideas as to why my ubuntu installs gets tons of errors trying to retrieve libraries during install? its on an ion2 chipset [17:12] yeah, it doesn't support Java [17:12] nettezzaumana: I did find the file elsewhere, and it is just "no symbols" [17:12] is #help a good channel to ask that question? [17:12] KennyX: doubtful [17:12] KennyX: freenode.net browse the info on thre [17:12] there [17:12] ChogyDan: it's not possible o.O [17:12] it is not helpful [17:12] nettezzaumana: it won't be useful... but ok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645467/ [17:13] ChogyDan: if the output is long just use [17:13] alias susepaste='curl -v -F code="<-" -F submit=submit -F lang=text http://susepaste.org 2>&1 | sed -n "s|<\ Location:\ ||p"' [17:13] Ampelbein: oh my god i belive you [17:13] the[void]: most probable cause is bad install medium [17:14] daedra, delete the empty partition to make it unallocated then format it to a fs that you want to use on it [17:14] im logged as ubuntu and im trying to setup a restricted user called mshare. when i ssh into mshare - and try to look at one of the drives it says i dont have permission. when i got to the permissions tab while logged in as ubuntu, it wont let me change any of the options to anything else. everytime i select something it selects back. [17:14] * nettezzaumana is totally confused .. he considered himself before while as pretty skilled unix-monkey but this broke his down [17:14] BluesKaj: there is no empty partition AFAICT [17:14] hm, when I log onto my machine va SSH there is a message telling me "New release 'natty' available.", where is this done? what config-file [17:14] what im trying to do is give access to a drive with all my mp3's on it [17:14] nettezzaumana: On Debian systems usually all debug symbols are stripped.

[17:19] can anyone help with my above question? [17:19] the machines accessing this computer are only ubuntu and osx. no windows. [17:19] hi friends, how can I change ubuntu's default window manager through command line? === WukongSun is now known as blueghost [17:20] lagreca, it depends on he window manager [17:20] daedra, are you using the gparted live cd or usb ? [17:21] lagreca, basically, you execute the window manager from your xsession and tell it to replace the currently running winow manager. i.e.: kwin --replace [17:22] BluesKaj: livecd [17:22] ok, but what if I cannot start any graphical interface [17:23] lagreca you mean x fails to start? [17:23] when i try to open a new channel it could take a lot of time. why? [17:23] lagreca there are tons of reasons why that can be happening. [17:23] lagreca you need to look into you x log nd see what is killing it. [17:23] lagreca in general, it's pretty obvious. [17:23] and what's the file? [17:24] Hi, people. I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a brand new computer with a ATI Radeon HD 6450 video card. After the installation I get stuck on either the ubuntu logo screen, a velvet or a black screen. Can someone please help me? [17:24] lagreca /var/log/Xorg.0.log usually. [17:25] lagreca, alternativelly, if X just isn't being called at boot, you can try starting it from the command line invoking your session manager, i.e. gdm in gnome, kdm in kde. [17:25] asen: and booting with quite and splash off produces no errors [17:25] lagreca another alternative, is to try starting X as root, just to ee if it starts, and if its a permissions problem. I ouldn't use that session, though. [17:26] hi, does ./foo > /tmp/blah cause ./foo process to block during file write to /tmp/blah ? [17:26] daedra, can you describe in more detail what partitons you see there pls. [17:26] lagreca: finally, the most typical problem, apart from video driver issues, is that your hd is full. it is very common, because X fails to tell ou anything about it, and just dies a quiet peaceful death === fabrizio is now known as fabbo [17:27] thanks gorgonzola [17:27] lagreca start with log, that should point you in the right direction. good luck! [17:27] lagreca you re welcome. [17:28] thanks [17:28] ciao [17:28] BluesKaj: ok let me pastebin something.. what though? [17:28] BluesKaj: fstab? [17:29] hey all [17:31] is there a way to resize the window of the command prompt so it dosent cover the whole window because i can grip the corner [17:33] Mamed: if you can, where is the problem? [17:34] sorry i mean that i CAN't [17:34] hi. i would like to install ubuntu from hard disk since i cannot boot from CD. i currently have windows 7 installed. is there any convenient way to do this? [17:35] fstab won't list any unmounted partitions , daedra [17:35] or empty ones [17:36] I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my sda 1 hard drive..I also have Ubuntu 10.04 on my sdb 1 hard drive along with Mageia 1 on that drive...How do I delete the ubuntu 10.04 on the second hard drive sdb and retain grub2 from the first hard drive as the controlling grub [17:37] how can i make windows semi transperent? [17:38] moes: #grub [17:39] does anybody know how to turn on compositing? [17:40] when i hit send and receive in evulution just with gmail it takes a lot of time to complete the process. why? [17:42] does anybody know how to turn on compositing? [17:42] Mamed: for most applications in general, your options are: ( alt-space, r, arrow key to select a border, then arrow keys to move that border ) to resize, or ( alt-space, m, arrow keys ) to move. but if this is affecting your default terminal, you might consider ( right click, profiles, profile preferences ) and then changing either the font size, or the default terminal size === receptionbox is now known as widbox [17:43] daedra, if you resized to 450from 900 , the partition with no data needs to be 'activated' from just a free space partition to unallocated , by deleting it ...sounds strange , but once it's unallocated then it's recognized as a partition that';s empty and needs to be formatted [17:44] Hello everyone. I am trying to install Ubuntu server 11.04 on a HP machine but I keep getting a blank screen and nothing happening after pressing "Install server". What could be causing this and what can be done about it? [17:46] do you mean that i hold in alt and space and click m or is that a command to put in terminal? [17:46] you can click it or type it [17:46] BluesKaj: no I shrank from 900 to 450 === memee is now known as yoritomo [17:47] alt-space should bring up the menu if i remember correctly [17:48] put its the command dialog that i wanna resize (ALT+F2) and when i click alt+space i make just spaces [17:49] How can I view the init script outputs in text in Xubuntu 11.04? I've erased "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub, but now I just see a blank screen with no text until gdm loads [17:49] I thought this was cute: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/w00t.html [17:50] daedra, does the 450 show as a primary or logical partition ? [17:50] BluesKaj: primary [17:50] I would actually just like it to boot up and log in like I do in Debian... showing all of the init script outputs and non-graphical login [17:51] who have a static one [17:51] Mamed: your run application dialog doesn't fit on the screen? which release are you on? 11.04? [17:51] daedra, ok right click on it to make sure it's active and that no options are greyed out [17:51] Mamed are talking about me [17:51] anybody got an idea? or should I go ask in the Debian room? [17:52] who is killing the time here [17:52] quiescens: it fits just fine i think its just that i want it smaller, it covers the whole window right now but i dont like it like that i want it to resizable [17:52] BluesKaj: in gparted? Options greyed out are: New Paste Undo and Apply [17:53] I just installed 11.04 (desktop) onto my macbook, and am occasionally running into strange trackpad issues. Occasionally (I haven't isolated what exactly causes it), the trackpad will no longer move the cursor. A USB mouse moves the mouse fine, and i can use the trackpad for multitouch (two finger scrolling, two finger click right click) [17:53] I'll just deal with it and use pure Debian [17:53] it's better anyway [17:53] trololol [17:53] quiescens: im on 11.04 [17:53] rage quit?!?!?! [17:53] the[void]: yea haha [17:53] this is fixed if i restart my session. any ideas of what might be causing this or how to isolate the issue? [17:53] cant use my wireless card any help around here [17:55] daedra, is gparted still showing it as 900? [17:55] hi. i would like to install ubuntu from hard disk since i cannot boot from CD. i currently have windows 7 installed. is there any convenient way to do this? [17:55] quiescens: i want kinda like this guy has the window dosent cover the whole window http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDIGOtInoKY&feature=player_detailpage#t=268s [17:56] quiescens: his window has the small arrows at the right-down corner i dont see that [17:56] hello [17:56] redfox: install from USB [17:57] f3bruary: i can only boot from hdd :( [17:57] redfox: why [17:57] BluesKaj: yes still showing as 900 [17:57] mount shows as 450 [17:57] lubuntu [17:58] f3bruary: since the computer is set to hdd boot and i cannot enter bios. [17:58] Hi everyone! I have a problem with nVidia (some MS edition) I can't install Ubuntu/Kubuntu on that PC, anyone has solution? The thing is, that after loading desktop, on screen appear only horizontal brown stripes [18:00] I compiled some screensavers, that resulted in some executables coming into /usr/local/bin of all places [18:00] daedra, click on the 900 , it should show 2, 450s [18:00] I'm trying to figure out if I can bind a custom script to my laptop's "disable touchpad" fn-key. (11.04, classic desktop). Right now when I press it I get a notification that the touchpad state has been toggled, and I even see a parameter in gconf change depending on whether the state is supposed to be on or off. But I want to start a custom script when this key is pressed, since my touchpad (ALPS [18:00] GlidePoint) doesn't actually work with the synaptics driver thus does not actually toggle when I press the key. [18:00] redfox: Why can't you enter BIOS ? [18:00] now how can I have those screensavers run except running them on the command line? [18:01] anyone installed via us.ubuntu.com recently? [18:01] Mamed: can you run gconf-editor [18:01] i cannot get my installers to work at all. any of the last 3 versions, amd64 on an ion2 chipset [18:02] BluesKaj: no it does not [18:02] BluesKaj: it shows 1 900 [18:02] Mamed: and then go to desktop -> unity, look on the right for form-factor, and change it to desktop [18:02] er [18:02] wait [18:02] dconf [18:03] yay for new system [18:03] f3bruary: because i use a notebook from work which has restricted bios access. i want get rid of windows anyway, so i need to find a way to install ubuntu from a different partition from hdd or by using a grub to boot from cd. is there any tutorial regarding this? [18:03] #Team-mkv sur irc.recycled-irc.net [18:03] daedra, well I'm stumped ...I must be forgetting something , unless you didn't finalize the resize [18:04] Isnt there a button to push during startup that gives you the option to boot from other media [18:04] Mamed: fine, change of plans, alt-f2, type in: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity form-factor Desktop [18:04] redfox: F12 or something like that [18:04] i just opened gconf-editor [18:05] its not gconf-editor any more [18:05] just do that last message i typed, and ignore the gconf bit [18:05] there is desktop -> {gnome, ibus, pgq} no unity [18:06] how can i restart X (ctrl alt backspace is bringing up the restart menu instead of restarting X) [18:06] Hi. I have a problem installing Ubuntu Server. See: http://goo.gl/7hknE [18:06] yes, i just said that my first instructions weren't right [18:06] BluesKaj: yes [18:06] BluesKaj: I didn't finalise the resize [18:07] am I totally screwed? :( [18:07] f3bruary: there isnt such a hotkey, its a thinkpad t60 :( [18:07] Mamed: instead, just do alt-f2, and type in: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity form-factor Desktop [18:07] ok [18:08] guesswho: sudo service gdm restart [18:08] Hi, I installed kubuntu-standard, and kubuntu-desktop, and didn't liked it, and now I'm back to Unity, but the empathy fonts gone bad. How to correct that?? [18:09] I fixed the FF fonts already by deleting ~/.fonts.config [18:10] QUESTION: Why is it if use cat instead of cd .. the paths would put spaces instead of just going through directory? [18:11] why was unity chosen for netbooks [18:11] can anyone shed some light [18:11] redfox: Cant you get BIOS password ? [18:12] f3bruary: its very unlikely. i know someone who could enter it, but he wont tell me. its too complicated. but i just unplugged the hard drive and now it boots from cd. maybe ubuntu is able to recognize the hdd when i reattach it now... [18:12] redfox: maybe you can reflash the BIOS [18:13] pdtpatr1ck: cat is file viewer, cd is change directory command, instead? [18:13] pdtpatr1ck: i'm.. not sure cat and cd are interchangable in any particularly useful way, what are you trying to do? [18:13] hmmm. so restarting X gets me trackpad control back [18:13] quiescens: its just tries to open a new page in chrome [18:13] Is there a way to remove "Set up mail" and "Set up broadcast accounts" from the messages indicator? [18:13] Thinking of moving to XFCE !!! Didnt like Unity and GNOME3 [18:13] I just find it strange that multi touch gestures are working, i can move the cursor with a USB mouse [18:14] yeah i know the difference between the two .. I'm a linux system admin. What i'm asking is .. if for instance i want to do cat /etc/network/interfaces .. if i type cat /et and tab complete - it would add a space instead of doing /etc/ to continue. Whereas cd does it automatically. Just wondering why it does that in ubuntu. [18:14] daedra, no I don't think so , just make the resized the boot partition [18:14] Mamed: argh, sorry, i keep thinking of the old run dialog thingy, can you open a terminal window [18:14] !classic | ranjan [18:14] Mamed: and type it into the terminal window instead [18:14] ranjan: 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". [18:15] quiescens: ahh i worked now [18:15] quiescens: thanks a lot [18:15] widbox, yes i know that, but heard that Classic GNOME is no longer supported [18:16] BluesKaj: I rebuilt the partition table with testdisk [18:16] i have an issue in ubuntu wifi [18:16] quiescens: apperently there was a differens between the Alt+F2 and the search program box but they looked the same [18:18] pdtpatr1ck: i don't seem to have any trouble tab completing with "cat /et" [18:19] quiescens: can you help me with one more thing? i wanto start skype at boot up, i have dropbox and that work fine, i checked the startup list and dropbox had the command "dropbox start -i" and i tried to put that in and just replaced the name but that dosent work [18:19] pdtpatr1ck: Probably something is wrong, on desktop installs cd and cat tab-autocomplete path same way [18:19] Mamed: i don't have/use skype, sorry [18:20] quiescens, when u do cat /etc there shouldn't be a space after /etc .. it should get to the end and give u options like /etc tab should show all the listings below so this way i can type the next letter and it would tab complete over. [18:20] I think it might be a bug [18:21] Hi, How can I make my Ubuntu 11.04 Faster? Anything I can do to make it even faster? (tweaks etc?) [18:21] !fast [18:21] is there a way i could unmount my root ext4 fs, turn off journalling, and remount? [18:21] /win 2 [18:21] pdtpatr1ck: did you install acrobat reader recently? [18:21] pdtpatr1ck: sorry, not you [18:22] pdtpatr1ck: i'm not having any issue with it, if i type "cat /et", it gives me "cat /etc/" "Display all x possibilities?" [18:22] pdtpatr1ck: wait, it might be for you after all :) - you have trouble tabcompleting? [18:24] Hi, How can I make my Ubuntu 11.04 Faster? Anything I can do to make it even faster? (tweaks etc?) [18:24] !speed [18:24] !fast [18:24] !speedup [18:24] !optimize [18:24] Pin: /msg ubottu !bot [18:24] Pin: please use the bot privately ^ [18:25] Pin, less fancy graphics effects usually helps [18:25] quiescens: np, i have another uestion, i installed matlab and it asked which account the licence was for and i typed root as this is my only account but my actuall account is called mamed, and now i can find matlab, do i need to do something special to see it? [18:25] Pin: Yeah, ditch Xserver [18:26] !xserver? whats that, and how? [18:26] Pin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:26] Pin, Ubuntu tweak ? [18:26] lol @ ubottu [18:27] Pin: Press: Alt-CTrl-F1 (F7 to go back), login and feel the speed [18:27] ? [18:27] Pin: ok. what do you want to make faster? [18:27] What does that do widbox? [18:28] Pin: it gives you a text-mode login. [18:28] no gui [18:28] I want to make my operating system run faster. [18:28] It does in cli [18:28] For example, If i open a program i want things to open faster. Just more faster in general [18:28] get a new processor+some ram [18:28] ssd [18:28] Pin: first find out where the bottleneck is then [18:29] Mamed: i would guess you should have given it your user name and not root, maybe run the install again and use your user's name instead? [18:29] Mamed: i don't have/use matlab either [18:29] hahah ok thanks for all help [18:29] I want my system to run at optimal level. as fast as it could. [18:29] Mamed: maybe they have their own support options available [18:30] does anyone know of a good application to see what your trackpad is registering? [18:31] Pin, are you running Unity?> [18:31] Pin: first, you need to find out where the bottlenecks are. [18:31] Ubuntu Classic [18:31] coz_: Gnome [18:31] Pin: are you running with effects disabled? [18:31] quiescens: want faster¿ use lighter programs, or use terminal intead of gui [18:31] effects on. I want effects on [18:32] ... [18:32] I want my system to run faster in general. What things can I do to make it faster? [18:32] Pin, ok,, in ccsm under animations,, you can adjust the speed of the animation in case the animation speed is what appears to make the applications open slower [18:33] .. [18:33] Pin: ok. well, you still need to analyse your system (using top, or system monitor, etc) to find out what's causing a performance bottleneck. Until you know what's slowing it down, how can you improve it? [18:34] Ok I dont know how to do taht [18:34] that [18:34] Pin: open a terminal. run "top" (you'll probably also want to read the manpage for top too), and watch it. [18:34] Im asking for methods, Tweaks [18:34] etc [18:34] Pin, another way,, one that I generally dont suggest is to install preload,, boot time will probably increase with that however [18:35] Mamed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB === Mike__ is now known as Mike_ [18:35] Pin, here is a list of things you can take a look at http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-make-ubuntu-unity-desktop-run.html === Mike_ is now known as Guest51283 === Guest51283 is now known as Mike__ [18:35] I dont want to get a 4 year degree in ubuntu . lol . I just want to make it faster. What can I do to make it faster? [18:35] Pin buy a faster computer [18:36] thank you coz_ [18:36] ps [18:37] Pin, also refrain from using the Ubuntu software center,, it is generally pretty resource intensive ,, instead use synaptic package manager [18:37] What do you mean Coz, You mean to refraine installing software thru the Software center? [18:38] ... [18:38] !apt-get | Pin [18:38] Pin: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [18:38] Pici, well yes,, use synaptic if possible or in terminal sudo apt-get install nameofpackage [18:38] oh ok, yes I use terminal alot [18:39] Pin, cool that will certainly help in using up resources at least for package installation and removals [18:39] Pin: do you have small space? [18:39] So programs installed thru Ubuntu software center are taking up speed even tho Im not currently runing them or any of them are open? [18:40] Pici, you could probably spend the netire day on searching t he net for tips and tricks for making ubuntu faster on systems similar to yours [18:40] Pin: no. [18:40] Pin: if you're computer is clogged up then that will effect your speed, whether they're running or not [18:40] Pin: if i understood properly you're experiencing some global system slack, right ? [18:40] Pin, no but ubuntu software center itself can be a resource intensive especially on lesser systems [18:41] Pin: if you're stuck for space on your computer then use the minimal install and install only the packages that you require [18:41] Pin: it would be better to analyse your system with tools like top to find out what's using resources and then basing your tuning on that. [18:41] Pin, plus you learn more from using terminal :) [18:41] Anyone have a working alfa awus036h wireles card - everything works fine with scanning for networks but everytime I connect it will either timeout or connects and no internet. [18:41] Pin, I agree with StevenR with that [18:41] Pin, although i would suggest htop [18:41] funkster: try a different wifi channel [18:42] funkster: try by hand with using wpa_supplicant ... you'll find examples in $docroot/wpa_supplicant/examples [18:42] actionParsnip, i've tried different APs completely - same issue [18:42] Is there a way that I can see what the computer is seeing when it comes to trackpad input? (ideally touch locations) [18:42] nettezzaumana, you mean using iwconfig to connect? [18:42] funkster: do they use the same channel? [18:42] actionParsnip, no [18:42] Pin: how do you expect to fix it, without knowing why it's slow? (Yes, this involves work on your part to learn to use htop or top and interpret the results) [18:42] funkster: no really, just wpa_supplicant .. i don't use iwconfig at all [18:42] guesswho: cat the device file? [18:42] funkster: when the link drops, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues === josh__ is now known as joshlegs [18:43] Steven, Im assuming there is things that are holding the pc back from being faster [18:43] wpa_supplicant can't even connect to APs with no security enabled [18:43] Pin, there are also utilities such as rcconf or sysv-rc-conf to stop services you dont need but that is more for boot up time saving [18:43] **can [18:43] like windows, theres things that can be shutdown that one does not need [18:43] of course [18:43] anyways thanks guy [18:43] Pin: ok. well you need to *find out what these things are* :) [18:43] actionParsnip, it wont connect.. wont stay connect.. drops.. stays connected but i cant ping anything [18:43] StevenR: thanks. not really sure how to do that but I'll start looking there [18:43] Well rather than telling me that i need to find out what those thigns are which is pretty obvious, you need to tell me how tofind those things [18:44] make sence? [18:44] Pin: he said, 'top' or 'htop' [18:44] Pin: I've told you. Use htop or top. [18:44] funkster: i experienced this many times with inane NM ... and afaik there is some bug in ConsoleKit causing so, so perhaps downgrading to older CK will fix it [18:44] then how do you remove those processes that are unnessary? [18:44] Pin, top should already be installed but you will have to sudo apt-get install htop [18:44] im not aware of what you mean with CK and NM? [18:44] Pin: man pgrep [18:44] man pkill [18:44] Pin: first, work out what they are, then work out what to do about them :) [18:45] Pin: read about services [18:45] thats obvious steven [18:45] Pin: also iotop [18:45] asdfghjkl [18:45] tell me somethign i dont know [18:45] So my laptop crashed last night just went to the shutdown screen and died I went to a party come home today boot and it says complete indicator applet was corrupted or something so i had to delete it now my chat thing shutdown button and broadcast is gone off the bottom [18:45] any tips on identifying which file is the trackpad's? [18:45] Pin: ok, well, what does htop say then? [18:45] Ok im going to learn top and htop if i need anythign else i'll come back [18:45] thanks guys! [18:45] :) [18:46] any ideas [18:46] guesswho: lsusb, then look in /dev/bus for the right file to cat. [18:47] guesswho: it might work... otherwise I'm not sure [18:47] guesswho: see /proc/bus/input/devices [18:48] ^^ it's there [18:48] So my laptop crashed last night just went to the shutdown screen and died I went to a party come home today boot and it says complete indicator applet was corrupted or something so i had to delete it now my chat thing shutdown button and broadcast is gone off the bottom [18:48] zaccagnino: repeating your informative shallow q: won't get it fixed man [18:49] well im kinda new to linux and thats all i really know about the problem [18:49] i figure i just have to replace the file or something of that sort [18:50] zaccagnino: try to describe once more and with better precission what has happened and prove by exact error message or so [18:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1805649 [18:51] If anyone had any suggestions, they'd be appreciated [18:53] zaccagnino: sounds like you just need to add the indicator applet back to the panel (right click the panel, add to panel, indicator applet complete) [18:53] Ok I was on my laptop last night I was running adobe flash, out of nowhere the shutdown options came up, my laptop died. I said screw it left come back today boot up and it says problem loading indicator applet complete. Now my Ubuntu username does not show up on my taskbar [18:53] damn you i just got done typing [18:53] well i was close [18:53] but thanks [18:54] didnt know what that thing was [18:54] zaccagnino: sorry [18:54] its ok seriously thank you I didnt even know about these panels things [18:55] and a ubuntu noob is born [18:56] yes I sadly am a newb [18:56] no not sadly [18:56] it's good [18:56] OK i got a tougher one [18:56] we all start somewhere, and there's always more to learn :) [18:56] more people should use ubuntu, everybody starts as a noob [18:57] part of the experience [18:57] sometimes when i boot my laptop it goes to a black screen turns the hd down and num lock and capslock blink [18:57] for instance... what part of the OS processes the trackpad? [18:58] Just to say I cannot explain that one further because thats all I know [18:58] Sometimes the X on my Ubuntu 10.04 running on Dell E4310 just reboots. Is there something I can look for somewhere? (logs etc) [18:59] yes you can look for logs [18:59] /var/logs/syslog [18:59] zaccagnino, so it is not a consistant behavior? [19:00] usually i have to boot once cold boot then boot again and it will go fine [19:00] so it is pretty constant [19:01] itll freeze while shutting down to sometimes and i have let it go and it will eventually just kill the battery but the hard drive is not spinning [19:01] #ubuntu-it [19:01] sorry [19:02] does anyone how to delete some of the apps that auto-runs w/ a fresh install of gdm? [19:02] okay, so "Docky" just caused my trackpad to stop working [19:03] i think it breaks whenever something hogs the cpu for a second [19:03] It could be a laptop problem though because I looked it up and those lights are used for diagnosing problems, but this only happened when I installed linux I tried 3 distros before I gave up on the issue and stuck with zorin [19:03] earlier it happened when firefox hesitated loading a page with some flash or something [19:05] any ideas to restart the trackpad without restarting my session? [19:06] How do i install gfx drivers in 11.04 on virtualbox? On my laptop the driver sofware finds it after 2 mins, i have now waited 10 on virtual and nothing, should i do somthing else?

I installed linux-generic-pae kernel and rebooted, now I have no network [19:08] bad_alloc, yeah thats why i run it as virtualbox ;) [19:09] f3bruary, is there something in the syslog that I should pay extra attention to regarding sudden reboot of X?

[20:24] Wait a second [20:24] Boreeas: well, it looks like you have it installed, the command I gave would confirm. Make sure to remove icedtea java, and openjdk etc. The alternatives stuff is a pain [20:24] Do I need to restart the computer before it updates? [20:25] Boreeas: you don't know what I mean by alternatives, but it is a pain, easier to remove [20:25] How do I remove it? [20:25] apt-remove?

[21:21] yes sorry [21:21] 4 disk array and 1 failyre [21:21] failure [21:22] i don't understand why so many wbsites are designed like this , http://www.winehq.org/ the mentu is not united into one place but acattered [21:22] I imagine that it will survive to a disk fail [21:22] I realize this is Ubuntu but Debian irc is non-responsive -- has anyone happened to figure a way to get networking(just regular wired) working in the recovery mode. It works fine in non-recovery... also -- is there a way to escape X ending in a nice full screen terminal? ctrl-alt-backspace no longer works and gdm3 stop ends with no prompt---same thing in ubuntu [21:23] but at boot it simply ask me to manually correct the problem or skip mount RAID [21:23] hi all after I installed ubuntu to a machine with ubiquity, is there a way to install openssh-server to the new system BEFORE rebooting?

You come with solutions to non-existent problems = not useful.

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [21:28] hehe ronqbc you're out of options.

Can someone help me install drivers for my fresh installed Xubuntu? I'm newbie... [21:30] arnotixe, i think it could be fixed if people weren't so 'arrogant'. well. for example it could be better if people never used the thing until it's more healthy for use. but people never check about destruct. [21:30] I got '01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series] [1002:791e]' when executing 'lspci -nn | grep VGA'. [21:31] arnotixe: probably the hardest part of linux is learning not to feed the trolls [21:31] Ferius: looks like there are many google links about L2 on linux. it may run. [21:32] arnotixe, then. the destructful people tell you that i'm a troll [21:32] kdenlive: possible to generate custom time code insert? [21:32] Anyone, please?

[21:37] pyroscope, i do not want to do that, i want it to stay random.. windows is capable of handeling it perfectly fine, shouldnt ubuntu aswell than? [21:37] and also. i can't join off-topic [21:37] then check your dns settings on both machines [21:38] ronqbc, you may have to have a registered nick [21:38] when someone is talking about important things he will be removed from the internet. how silly humans are [21:38] rmdir abc [21:39] pyroscope, the dns settings are exactly the same and they are from my provider and not my router.. [21:39] sysdoc, usually i can join there but often the channel will be opened after a long time === wirrr is now known as improveupon [21:39] ronqbc, OIC [21:39] sysdoc, what? [21:39] rm -rf [21:39] ronqbc, Oh I see [21:40] Hmmm... I did like guy in accepted answer suggested. http://askubuntu.com/questions/10044/bad-performance-with-ati-radeon-x1300 Dunno what will happen... [21:40] pyroscope, no rmdir ? [21:40] hello people... [21:41] cypha $rm -rf [21:41] my os keeps crashing. it stops responding, then the windows gray out, then if you click on a window it disappears. if you switch to a virtual terminal, you cannot log in: error at hard sector xxxxxxxx (2 subsequent sectors) [21:42] telxt, why not rmdir ? [21:42] i have a problem with partitions, i received a message that says:"you have only 135 Mb" when I have got 29 Gb...How that could be? [21:42] is there an error with the installation in windows? [21:42] go4 $man rmdir and there it says "rmdir - remove empty directories" [21:42] excuse me... the window does not disappear, the bar at the top does. the thing you move it around by [21:44] and that is what is unique. has anyone else ever had that problem? and so you have to kill the power manually [21:46] any hint? [21:46] so... noone? [21:46] improveupon: ctrl+alt f1 , do sudo restart [21:47] rugnur: may be you clear up a bit ~ what you was doing ~ what error msg you got ~ what you want to do ? [21:49] wildbat: a virtual terminal will not let you log in. it asks for login:, you enter it and it says error at sda5 (the ubuntu partition) sector (listing 2 sectors, i think subsequent, on 2 lines). so i have to turn the computer off with the power button. [21:50] improveupon: then it's time to replace that hd [21:50] rugnur: df -h [21:50] i just installed ubuntu and my firefox is not in my locale. how to change that? [21:50] pyroscope: you are really sure it is a hardware problem, and a reinstall of the os will not solve anything? [21:51] pyroscope: http://pasteit.com/2658 [21:51] improveupon: i'm sure i'd retire that hd altogether or to backup if it were my data ;) [21:52] improveupon: ctrl+  ALT + "SysRq, R-E-I-S-U-B: [21:52] how come my ubuntu cant find a networkmachine by the name of the machine?

[21:54] yes i've already had a look at it, but i don't know what does it mean... pyroscope [21:54] it means you have 170M left for stuff you don't redirect to /host [21:54] . [21:55] Oops sorry [21:55] shadu, coz you don't have dns server running in your network? [21:55] wildbat that is true, but how come my windows system can just find it by the name then? [21:56] shadu: possibly WINS or other M$ stuff [21:56] pyroscope: so what would you do? [21:56] shadu: windows just Windows naming resolutions. [21:57] rugnur: i'd have bigger partitions, or none at all [21:57] just move some bug stuff [21:57] *big [21:57] and there is no way to get that working in ubuntu? coz the machine doesnt have a static ip, nor do i want to give it that.. but with the name it doesnt matter what ip it has, it will find it.. [21:58] shadu, if your router can't do dns ~ dump it ! time for new one. [21:58] wildbat, it prolly can work as a dns but i dont want it to :P it works fine as it is and i dont want to mess with it [21:59] pyroscope: I know how to divide the space...but the partition program says that loop inside sda5 so i don't understand [22:00] rugnur: you use wubi? [22:00] i would have never given only 5 Gb... [22:00] wubi, i don't know....what is it? [22:01] rugnur: loop mean it is a loopmount, that you are nor mounting a device but a file within other mount aka loop [22:01] wow, firefox crashed :( [22:02] ominomi_: yeah ~ firefox got slow and unstable since FF3 :< [22:02] how do I look for an application in ubuntu classic?

[22:08] wildbat, I need to access it, not to know if it is installed or not [22:09] defectz2: go to the webpage I gave you and install java from the ppa [22:09] Chogydan: would u mine reposting it so i can see it on other comp?

[22:15] it's complicated isn't it wildbat ? [22:15] o ams [22:15] amsn [22:16] em [22:16] rugnur: you are using wubi ~ so it is better to do the real install, what i will suggest its ~ have that loopmount file backuped and then format the d: to linux ext4. after the install ~ we can do the loopmount and restore your home [22:17] On 11.04, in my monitors preferences window, the checkbox to show "same image on all monitors" is constantly disabled.

[22:18] ciar TeMuCin [22:18] ciao* [22:18] rugnur: also ~ it is better to keep / and /home in different partitions. so nect that system down/reinstall, you don't have to backup home again. but your call [22:18] ciao AbuMaia [22:18] Chogydan: So im following the guide, and it asks me to complete the apt liine of the repository that i want to add, and what is says to put in does not work [22:18] defectz: do you know how to use pastebin? [22:19] chogy: yes [22:19] defectz: can you pastebin all the output of the commands you have run? [22:20] wildbat, i will do what you say... I don't have anything important in ubuntu at the moment so we can format the D: [22:20] chogy: well in method one it just wants me to go to software sources and update a source [22:20] I need help very badly. I installed a program called joymouse from source. and I can not figure out how to remove it. The real problem is I can't get muppen64 to configure my joystick while the joystick thinks its a mouse. [22:20] defectz: you want method 2 [22:20] rugnur: or .... you can stick with Wubi ( with a bit disk i/o hold back), just increase the size for the loopmunt [22:20] hi, I do not use gdm. Instead I use startx to run my ~/.xsession (runs some programs and xmonad; I can provide it if requested). Seemingly randomly, pulseaudio will decide it cannot access my sound card and only provides "dummy output". Exiting xmonad, killing pulseaudio, and running startx again a few times will eventually give me audio. Why is pulseaudio doing this? How can I troubleshoot? [22:20] ChogyDan: ok i will try that one and see what happens [22:21] Chogy: currently my terminal is set to a place on my directory, how to i undo that? [22:21] and how can I do that wildbat?

[22:27] wildbat: how can install that script..? Isn't there a command line to paste into terminal? [22:28] rugnur: just click it and download it. it is script so don't need to be installed === lwizard1 is now known as lwizardl [22:28] downloaded...and now?

If you want, after that (since you'll still have the pae version) you can remove that specific pae kernel version, then you'll have no pae kernels [22:53] SpecialEmily: 'a2enmod' is to enable an apache module [22:53] jrib, ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load rewrite.load [22:53] plopster: or, if you're not terribly concerned about immediate, the -pae will eventually just go away on its own [22:53] done it :D wildbat [22:53] Thanks flannel, i'm always a bit worried about messing with the kernel === Prodego is now known as SQLDb [22:54] rugnur: good ~ you new home will have 15GB ~ then ~ while the / stay the same 5GB [22:54] plopster: Yep, no worries. Removing linux-image-generic-pae won't actually remove the individual kernel, so you can remove it and install linux-image-generic without having tow orry about having "no kernel" for a few microseconds or anything. [22:54] SpecialEmily: assuming you ran that in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/, that would work fine === SQLDb is now known as SQL === SQL is now known as Prodego [22:55] SpecialEmily: anyway, you should be using a2enmod as it's easier and you don't have to worry about silly mistakes [22:55] do you mean that the message having to little space will not appear now?

I was wondering if there is a way even if by editing a file on the disc image to allow screenshots during the install process [23:08] lwizardl: just use a virtual machine [23:08] e_t_ hmm, but how come it wont let me browse it then? it does mount something.. but i get a error saying i dont have access as soon as i try to open it [23:09] lwizardl: if you click "Try Ubuntu" once the LiveCD's booted, it should drop you into a full UI, including a screenshot tool when you hit PrintScreen. Then you could double-click the installer icon and I imagine screenshotting would still work. [23:09] shadu: can root browse the share? [23:09] Kazilla, Yeah but I was wanting them from a certain machine. [23:10] e_t_ uhm mostlikely, although im not supposed to use the root for it as for ssh access i had to force my way in.. and when i just use nautilus to manually mount it and enter the same credentials i can browse it [23:10] I try to prepare a Ubuntu Image for the rest of the year.. for all the laptops in the company running Ubuntu 11.04.

[23:18] !ask | MalelDraconis [23:18] MalelDraconis: 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. :-) [23:18] /etc/network/interfaces ... grrr. what the heck is ETC ? [23:19] k, sorry, no prob.. [23:19] joshlegs: '/etc/' contains mainly configuration files for various packages [23:19] ohh ok. .. so its a location then? [23:19] joshlegs: read about the folder structure before going on to networking http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2006/07/18/a-guide-to-files-and-folders-on-linux/ [23:20] joshlegs: sure, hence the / [23:20] ah ok [23:20] io thats part of my problem. im trying to learn about this stuff but keep encountering terms that i have NO CLUE of their meaning [23:20] thanks for the link :) [23:20] joshlegs: / is like "c:\" [23:21] its the root of everything [23:21] for folders [23:21] I'm trying to run an .xls file in Calc, and it has a VBA macro that won't run.. it runs just fine on my Vista machine with MS Office '07, but I get an error every time I try to run it on here.. running Ubuntu 10.01 with OpenOffice 3.3.0 [23:21] is it a compatibility issue? [23:21] ohhh h cool. thanks Kazilla [23:21] Kazilla: actuall / is like \\ [23:22] hello [23:22] or more exactly like \\localhost\ [23:22] MaleDraconis dont take my word 100% but im sure openoffice doesnt run macros from Microsoft Office packages [23:22] pyroscope: i was just keeping it simple [23:23] until maybe W9 finally gets the CP/M drive letter act together and purges that dinosaur stuff [23:23] Aer, thanks, I figured as much too.. Do you know of a prog that might run it? or does Wine work well with Excel? [23:24] My Unity Dash is sometimes really slow with opening the dask even with the offical Nvidia drivers installed, somtimes I can't even type text into the Search Bar :S? [23:24] Dash** [23:24] MalelDraconis: there's also #openoffice.org who'll be able to verify that [23:24] io: Thanks [23:25] MalelDraconis: I dont know of a program native to linux which will run Macros from Excel. There is a paid program called "Softmaker 2010" which is apparently very compatible with microsoft office but i dont know if it runs macros yet its last version didnt [23:25] so if i want to import pictures from my camera on ubuntu, i have to plug it in, then find /home/user/media or something like that? [23:25] but if you dont wanna pay and you already have a copy of microsoft office I know Microsoft Office works pretty well in wine as ive tried myself [23:26] i noticed a few small bugs but nothing serious that should stop you from doing what you need [23:26] aer: visualbasic is developed for miscrosoft so whatever you try you might get unexpected results [23:26] i'd load it in a vm or something [23:26] yeah, what Kazilla said if you want it working 100% no bugs :P [23:26] Greetings [23:27] joshlegs: /media , you will see it in nautilus , the file browser. [23:27] has anyone gotten a cac reader to work with firefox on natty? [23:28] I can see when a card is put in - but when I try to get the reader to works with firefox, firefox crashes [23:28] sroy2: whats cac? [23:28] common access card [23:29] does anyone know how I can change the value for my CPU Scaling Frequency and make it stick after a restart ? [23:29] its a card that generally holds pki certs and some other information [23:29] ok what about if I wanted to change the kernal on the disc to include the newer v4l drivers [23:29] everytime i restart it sets itself back to "Performance" i want it on "On Demand" [23:29] is VM open-source? [23:29] I have a problem with using xrandr, after messing around with it, I managed to get the desired resolutions on my dual head (1680x1050) VGA1 and (1280x800) LSVD1. the problem is, it only works if I set the screens above/below, not left-of/right-of. [23:30] Aer: look for startup scripts in /etc/init.d ... I had one called ondemand, that I modified to conservative. [23:30] MalelDraconis: What is VM? [23:30] ok thanks StevenR :) didnt know to look there :) [23:30] voicemail? [23:30] e_t_ VM usually stands for Virtual Machine [23:30] VMware [23:30] oh virtual machine i think [23:30] or Virtual Machine.. [23:30] :P [23:30] MalelDraconis: don't think so, it think it is free though [23:30] Aer: or rather, I copied it to make one to cpu scale to conservative, then I used update-rc.d to make it run at boot and disabled the ondemand one. [23:31] Kazilla, Thanks [23:31] ohh ok [23:31] thanks StevenR I'll try it now :) [23:31] np [23:31] hmm. can anyone suggest a decent shoutcast/icecast client? [23:33] has anybody with an intel 945GM series chipset been able to run a dual screen side by side? [23:33] StevenR: Many programs can receive streams. VLC, mplayer (and derivatives), Amarok, Clementine, Rhythmbox [23:35] Also, I'm getting this error message from Update Manager: Could not initialize the package information, An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information, Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Malformed line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.' Any ideas? [23:35] e_t_: ok... I'm really wanting one to receive from mpd :) (it can pump to http, but it's a bit jerky at times, so I'm looking at icecast) [23:35] hmm dont think i quite follow now i look StevenR lol [23:35] I found Ondemand in /etc/init.d [23:35] ok [23:35] Aer: what does it default to? [23:35] i opened it and its set to set my cpu scaling to "ondemand" on boot i think [23:36] but when i restart sometimes it defaults to "Performance" [23:36] i have to click my cpu scaling applet and change it to ondemand [23:36] Aer: you want it to always go to ondemand ? [23:36] yeah [23:36] but sometimes it's performance? [23:36] yup [23:36] it only seems to reset after restart [23:36] ok. "cd /etc ; find | grep -i ondemand " [23:37] pastebin the results [23:37] you around? [23:37] ok 1 sec [23:37] Permissions question: I have a folder with several files of miscellaneous permissions. Some are 777, some are 775, some are 664. I want to make sure Group has Write for all of these files while still maintaining their other properties. [23:38] here you go StevenR http://pastebin.com/SvpnjWHe [23:38] hi folks. Can someone tell me which kernel is best to use when running Ubuntu as a virtual guest in VirtualBox? [23:38] StevenR: did you check http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients ? [23:39] Aer: I know it was useless [23:39] QwertMan-cr48: "chgrp +rw Group" should do it [23:39] lol [23:39] how do i actually look at the file contents of my boot folder ?? [23:39] i tried /boot in terminal, then ls [23:39] but it shows my home folder contents [23:39] For a somewhat seasoned ubuntu user, is it worth installing Ubuntu 64 bit on a dual quad core machine? [23:39] conical, 32bit will still run faster... [23:39] conical if you had more than 4GB ram id say maybe [23:40] joshlegs: you need to change directory [23:40] less than 4GB there is no point [23:40] oh. how do i change Kazilla [23:40] hi all, i've installed linux-headers, but I can't figure out where the actual header files are at? [23:40] joshlegs: try "cd /boot" and then ls. [23:40] 4GB is what I have [23:40] ohhh the cd command. forgot it [23:40] any ideas where the header files for my kernel may be? [23:40] joshlegs: cd /boot [23:40] dumb question but why will 32 bit run faster? [23:40] ahhh that did it :D thanks guys [23:40] then 32 bit should be fine conical [23:40] bik do a locate? [23:40] conical, It will address the memory (4gb) heaps faster. [23:41] eagleserver: er. locate? :p [23:41] woo [23:41] and that's due to the operating system i assume [23:41] /usr/src/linux-headers! [23:41] :p [23:41] personally i dont think either will be faster ive never noticed a difference on my laptop [23:41] oooh ... so ive got 2 older versions of ubuntu on my system .. how do i remove those kernels and versions, since i no longer need them? [23:41] conical: There is no noticible performance difference between 64-bit and 32-bit for the majority of use cases. Some tasks are faster on 64-bit, such as some scientific computation and video editing. [23:41] bikcmp: locate linux-headers [23:41] http://pastebin.com/rMihnj0z [23:42] i cant seem to get ubuntu to pass it's hostname to my dns server [23:42] joshlegs: the upgrade process is fairly automatic, i've never had to do anything in /boot [23:42] Aer: hmm... that should work :S [23:42] joshlegs, which is it? older kernels, or another actual Ubuntu installation? Remove older kernels with a package manager, like synaptic... remove another entire installation by deleting or reformatting that partition [23:42] hmm dunno why it keeps changing on restart then lol [23:42] hi folks. Can someone tell me which kernel is best to use when running Ubuntu as a virtual guest in VirtualBox? (sorry if this is the 2nd post - I was disconnected when trying to send this message the last itme) [23:42] *time [23:42] but in all fairness i have abused my installation of ubuntu lol [23:43] psyke83: it shouldn't really make a difference [23:43] Aer: maybe there's something else mucking about with it :S [23:43] its my first install ever from when i made the switch to linux and i done some things i didnt think was bad xD [23:43] If you search through Synaptic Package Manager for "linux-image", you can remove older kernel versions safely, and grub will automagically be updated for you. [23:43] hmm. psusi i just upgraded using the manager. but i have the option of booting older Ubuntu versions. i want to get rid of everything but ubuntu 10.10, which i haven ow [23:43] maybe [23:43] th0r: I'm doing a lot of compiles so I need maximum performance. Does the generic kernel support all the CPU virtualization extensions etc? [23:43] psyke83: yes [23:44] ok, thanks [23:44] how i know what i can remove in synaptic psusi? [23:44] just installed ubuntu in dual-boot with windows7. let the installer set the partitions. any idea how to transfer files between operating systems? [23:45] yaaase i think you can access them anyway ... or at least i can. [23:45] when i try to upgrade to the newest kernel this happens i get some sort of error and it a dialog box comes up asking me if i would like to report the problem to the developers, i click on report problem and here is the output of the message http://pastebin.com/ayV40jcc does anyone know whats going on with that? [23:45] under startmenu>places i have something called "298gb file system" [23:45] i go there, click users, click my user name there, and can get to everything from there [23:45] joshlegs how about accessing windows files from ubuntu? [23:46] ya thats what i mean. idk how to access files created in ubuntu ... but you could just save them into one of the windows directories [23:46] let me know what you see in your PLACES menu [23:46] where is that menu located? [23:47] crackerjackz: I don't use nvidia, so no, but the error in there that you'll want to care about is "run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 10" [23:47] (i am super new to this lol) [23:47] yaaase .. where the start menu would be on windows [23:47] "xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --below LVDS1" works, but "xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --left-of LVDS1" doesn't work for me [23:47] you should have something called "places" either by itself on the bar, or after you click the 'start' menu [23:48] LVDS1 turns blank in that case [23:49] Is there a way I can update versions of Ubuntu without a boot disk or losing all my stuff? [23:49] does anyone know any software for ubuntu for tagging music ? such as mp3 tags ? [23:49] but one which is compatible with MPC format ? [23:50] Aer: musicbrainz picard [23:50] i believe so MalelDraconis [23:50] thanks Kazilla :) [23:50] I have 10.01, and I want to upgrade, especially since I'm having alot if issues with this install [23:50] MaleDraconis, you should be able to do that in the update manager [23:50] upgrade to newer versions should be an option [23:50] ^^ MalelDraconis , what aer said [23:50] rww, what is that a driver? [23:50] nvidia-common [23:51] crackerjackz: yes, it's the driver for nvidia graphics cards [23:51] musicbrainz picard looks promising, installing now :P [23:51] rww, how would that driver prevent me from installing updates via the update manager [23:52] crackerjackz: You're installing a kernel update. The nvidia driver has a kernel component that needs to be updated as part of the kernel update. It failed to do so. [23:52] and if i were to use a different driver would it fix the problem? === derpf is now known as derp [23:52] crackerjackz: no idea [23:52] Aer, joshlegs, update manager is one of the problems... I'm getting this error anytime I try to install or update anything: 'E:Malformed line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read [23:52] e_t_: that page only lists clients, rather than "receivers" it seems :S [23:52] rww, so its a dependency issue then [23:52] crackerjackz: no [23:52] oh [23:52] .... refresh package list maybe? or something like that [23:52] thanks everyone for the help [23:53] hmm weird :s [23:53] joshlegs, how would I do that? [23:53] MalelDraconis: try apt-get update [23:53] MalelDraconis, apt-get update [23:53] idk. never had to .. [23:53] StevenR: What is the difference between a client and a receiver? [23:53] MalelDraconis: Line 55 of your /etc/apt/sources.list file is not correct. Fix it, or copy the file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and I'll tell you how to do so. [23:53] ok, brb guys, thx [23:53] e_t_: an mpd client is usually only a control interface, rather than something that runs to receive audio [23:53] i've forgotten, how do I switch my user so I can use psql? [23:54] su user [23:54] .... you know, linux is EXTREMELY foreign at first .. but once you start using it, you start to see a bit more common sense in it [23:54] e_t_: so I run mpd (server) on my server, and receive the audio on my laptop [23:54] Kazilla, I thought that was frowned upon? [23:54] isnt su user the same as sudo? [23:54] cypha: just how i do it lol [23:55] cypha: sudo -iu usernameToSwitchToHere [23:55] so how do I use psql the first time, before I've created any users? [23:56] No idea, I don't use psql. Just explaining how to switch users :P [23:56] oh, thanks :) [23:58] Kazilla musicbrainz picard worked perfect it was exactly what i needed :D thanks :D [23:59] rww, It's posted to the pastebin, name Malel Draconis [23:59] aer: no probs! :) [23:59] just wondering if you wouldnt mind another question lol ? :P [23:59] sure [23:59] its kinda music related again xD [23:59] aer thats what theyre all here for :) this is the support channel ;)
