minus_yagoo, Thanks!00:00
yagooctl-z doesnt turn it off.. if u want to see list of background apps in bash.. "jobs" shows..00:01
he||phyrehey everybody00:01
minus_yagoo, I see. Awesome.00:01
yagoo(ctl-z suspends, application is frozen) .. but if you want to kill if you can use "kill -9 <processid>" for what its worth..00:03
minus_yagoo, Is there a way to put programs in the background wihtout suspending them?00:03
yagoominus_, if u typed ctl-z, you can type "bg %#" (# as for the number from the jobs list)00:04
th0rminus_: bg?00:04
minus_yagoo, I actually looked in top to see if mencoder was stuck in something. But I guess I didn't look hard enough :P00:04
yagoo(type "help fg" or "help bg" .. fg/bg are bash-builtin commands)00:04
minus_yagoo, th0r: I'll try that out.00:04
yagoominus_, i believe u can type "bg <command>" as well...00:05
minus_Damn.. How have I missed the "help" command. It's like a mini "man"00:05
yagoominus_, no.. "help" is a bash-only builtin for referencing its builtins00:05
yagooit's very useful for bash scripters.. (help test)00:06
yagooman bash is a big wasteful manual.. a monster to decipher00:06
minus_yagoo, 3653 rows. Now that is something :D00:07
minus_yagoo, too bad mplayer had 6758 rows :P00:08
yagoominus_, /usr/share/doc/packagename is also locations where there can be examples for example -- (mencoder package is it?-- /usr/share/doc/mencoder)00:08

KopikoHi - I have a computer with Ubuntu Server 10.04 running on it with CSF, but weird things are happening.00:09

yagooallowoverride, you're swarming with the wrong things.. you said it was a year ago. Maybe it's not in ubuntu anymore. I'd say you ask in #gnome..00:13
minus_allowoverride, Hang on. I'll check if there is a keyboard shortcut somewhere00:13
allowoverridethanks00:14
minus_allowoverride, Do you have a menubutton on your keyboard?00:14

rwwRenatoSilva: just use /etc/skel/.bashrc. They're not different in any way that matters.02:09
Derpadonghe might need root access to do startx02:10
rwwDerpadong: startx does not require root access. Running sudo startx sometimes has the fun side-effect of breaking the permissions on the dotfiles in ~/02:10
RenatoSilvarww: ok checcking in natty, it seems root just removes an alert alias and comments some /etc/bash_completion related 'if'02:10
Derpadongjust saying02:11

Derpadongsudo startx is a way to start x-org files.02:12
ctmjrrww, your comment about running sudo startx02:12
rww"sudo startx" is liable to break things. I recommend we move on before I start kicking people for recommending commands that break things.02:13
Derpadongits the same for arch, xubuntu, ubuntu, etc02:13
enderok well i am still stuck02:13
RenatoSilvawhat are default permissions of /root/.bashrc? because afaik mv overwrites permissions too and I just mv'd over that file. I've got a new file now want to adjust permissions02:13
enderclearly my new card is affecting my system, it will not allow me to go to the splash screen from start up02:13
rwwRenatoSilva: It doesn't really matter. If you want a suggestion anyway, owner root, group root, permissions 60002:14
RenatoSilvarww: ok thanks02:14
ctmjrender, that little flashing line is not a terminal prompt your system is hanging you need to boot into rescue mode and fix it02:15

celthunderRenatoSilva: dli kk i didn't look was just going off memory02:29
celthunder755 sounds more right than 65502:29
dliRenatoSilva, I wonder what happens you chmod / to 65502:30
celthunderdli: probably not much unless you add -R02:31
rwwprobably bad things02:31
rwwlet's save the speculation for a non-support channel :P02:31
dlicelthunder, no, with -x for /, you can not open / folder, so, can not open any folder at all, not even chmod to chmod02:31
celthunderdli: supposedly but that goes like saying rm -rf / in theory rm should be deleted pretty fast ...02:32
RenatoSilvadli: I wonder why 755, why allow others to read/execute from root, /root should be totally, recursively, xx0 I think02:33
quittix3KM0201: I edited the text file right, updated the thing in terminal, and it still wotn let me install testdisk. could I be missing something?02:33
dlicelthunder, better not to mention such thing in a support channel. still it's different, since linux uses copy-on-write, so rm itself is no issue02:33

rwwAlrighty, I think we're done discussing "how do I break my Ubuntu" now, thanks.02:34
celthunderrww: it's easy to break...gotta break to fix :)02:35
quittix3http://paste.ubuntu.com/646169/ alot of the text seems to be missing from like last time02:35
Centallithubuntu is actually really fragile. I've broken mine 4 times for different reasons. Kubuntu is surprisingly stable though.02:35
RenatoSilvain short, what should be the permissions of /root, including recursively? I wonder if my Ubuntu got messed after so many upgrades and no fresh install since years02:36
celthunder/root should be 710 i think02:37
celthunderuser all execute group nothing for all others02:37
rww700 or 710 is fine. Again, it doesn't matter much.02:37
rwwsince you're not using the root user, since #ubuntu doesn't support that configuration, right... :\02:38
quittix3When I try to enter: sudo apt-get update,  It gives me this: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? (at the end of a bunch of stuff)02:39
celthunderquittix3: do you have a lock file left over or another package manager running?02:39
rwwquittix3: You have another package manager running (e.g. synaptic, update-manager, aptitude, apt-get). Close it.02:39
dliquittix3, do you have dpkg running? ps aux|grep 'apt|dpkg'02:39
RenatoSilvafor example this is my odd root http://pastie.org/222956302:40
celthunder I e-er ort..."02:40
celthunderer oops02:40
rwwRenatoSilva: As I attempted to hint above, #ubuntu does not support unlocked root accounts or offer help with them. It appears you have one. Have fun with that.02:40
RenatoSilvarww: I have no idea what is unlocked root accounts, I'm those idiots you know. Besides, I've never touched /root's permissions, so if something is wrong with them, it's because of bug[s] in upgrade processes02:42
celthunderRenatoSilva: so what's wrong with it far as i saw at a quick glance you gave a few extra permissions but overall it should still work02:42
quittix3when I enter: sudo apt-get install ubuntu it still wont install it, even though I did everything I was suposed to...02:42
RenatoSilvacelthunder: just worried about the 755 on root itself, and ANY permission at all for 'other' in some stuff02:42
quittix3this is so random.. it worked a litytle bit ago02:42
celthunderquittix3: apt-get install ubuntu???? apt-get won't work unless you already have ubuntu (or debian/smoe other distro that uses apt-get but not that point)02:43
RenatoSilvacelthunder: should I be fine if I at least chmod /root o-rwx?02:43
celthunderRenatoSilva: so take off the "other" permissions02:44
RenatoSilvacelthunder: recursively or just on /root as I said?02:44
celthunderRenatoSilva: yeah..02:44
celthunderdoesn't matter much02:44
rwwRenatoSilva: It doesn't matter, given that if /root can't be accessed by other, then nothing inside of /root can.02:44
poseidonAny suggestions for a good mp3 play which isn't made by apple?02:44
RenatoSilvacelthunder: hmmmm.... I suspect it does matter friend...02:45
celthunderRenatoSilva: how? if other can't open the folder in the first place (changing /root to no permissions to other) they really can't do much in it either...unless you do something stupid like use userdir from apache and turn it on for root too...but that's another issue02:45
RenatoSilvarww, celthunder: that's why I want to touch only /root, being less intrusive, since everything under it will also be inaccessible as rww said02:45
RenatoSilvaposeidon: player?02:46
kiergeposeidon, tomahawk player uses playlists similar to genius playlists the are automatic playlists based on what you define.  it works best on KDE for which it was intended.02:46

poseidoncelthunder: I use mpd :)02:47
quittix3celthunder: lol. I ment to say testdisk, not ubuntu02:47
RenatoSilvacelthunder: didn't get anything after userdir. So I'm just ok with chmod o-rwx only in /root, right?02:47
poseidonYea, I'll have to look into an new phone02:47
celthunderposeidon: ok that aside the Sansa Fuse i've heard good things about02:47
celthunderRenatoSilva: sure02:48
celthunderquittix3: what's the error?02:48
quittix3celthunder: me... thats what, I was missspelling it\02:48
celthunderlol well least you got it working now02:49
Derpadongaudio players you say?02:49
celthunderposeidon: how much space you need? sdcard? battery life?02:49
RenatoSilvacelthunder: ok thanks friend. Would that make my root a non-"unlocked root accounts", if you ever know what it means?02:49
ssfdre38how can i comment out Unity from login?02:49
RenatoSilvassfdre38: comment out?02:49
celthunderRenatoSilva: he means don't use root for x...02:49
celthunderRenatoSilva: and no ...it doesn't02:49
ssfdre38RenatoSilva: i want to get Unity off my system02:50
celthunderssfdre38: what display manager?02:50
celthundercomment it out from the display manager or delete it?02:50
RenatoSilvassfdre38: I wanted it too, it's just selecting classic session or something (after you choose/type an user)02:50
ssfdre38i know but i want to remove it off the system where i dont even see it on the login02:51
RenatoSilvassfdre38: it seems you can't uninstall Unity, but as I said you can stop using it02:51
kiergessfdre38, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop then you can remove ubunutu-desktop if you wanted.  just switch your DM at login02:51
celthunderssfdre38: delete it from gnomes scripts there should be a Unity.Desktop file that you can delete somewhere...searching one sec02:51
celthunderer gdm scripts not gnomes whatever ...if you're~ using it02:52
RenatoSilvawhat's an unlocked root account?02:52
=== derp is now known as Shaneequa
RenatoSilvacelthunder: for x?02:52
celthunderRenatoSilva: one that has a password (any normal person has one...)02:52
celthunderthe dumbest thing to do with root is run X from it (or the obvious stupid stuff)02:52
rww!classic02:52
ubottuThe default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".02:52
RenatoSilvacelthunder: how did he deduce mine was unlocked? how can he know without looking at my /etc/passwd?02:53
celthunderRenatoSilva: he doesn't...he was guessing because you're using roots home folder...02:53
ministerdudeWhy does ubuntu suck? Because it's harder then hell to get anything to work right on it02:53
kiergeRenatoSilva, your paranoia is getting the best of you02:53
quittix3is it a bad idea to use testdisk on an ubuntu live cd to copy my files from a deleted partition on a hard drive to my phones memory chip?02:54
RenatoSilvacelthunder: s/passwd/shadow02:54
celthunderministerdude: it sucks because it has shoddy defaults and gives no choices .02:54
RenatoSilvacelthunder: he thought I was using the desktop as root? ah ok, he failed02:54
celthunderRenatoSilva: same answer02:54
ministerdudeThank you for agreeing. I'm about to toss this damn thing out the window02:54

ZimskyI have a process with a console running on my server and I am connected to it via SSH, I need to be able to view that console from my SSH client02:56
kiergeministerdude, ubuntu doesn't suck.  all my hardware "works with it"  it does everything i can expect it to do.02:56
celthunderZimsky: screen with no arguements works to open a screen session screen <progname> runs program in a screen session that is then opened...screen -r <session resumes> screen -x connect to an already connected display02:56
RenatoSilvakierge: it wasn't a paranoia dude, actually a bit of yours heh02:56
ministerdudeMy hardware (iphone) don't work with it02:56
Jordan_UZimsky: The best solution is to have started whatever process you need to watch in a screen session. Are you familiar with screen?02:57
rypervencheministerdude: Use Windows or iTunes or a VM with Windows.02:57
kiergeministerdude, apple is to blame not ubuntu.02:57
ZimskyJordan_U: no02:57
RenatoSilvakierge: I wasn't worried, just curious how could he know whether I have a password set for root or not, like is he some kind of magician? :P02:57
celthunderministerdude: iphone's suck...please do the world a favor and drop it out the window and then run it over a few times02:57
Jordan_U!screen | Zimsky02:57

ministerdudeAndroid sucks. That I'll never use again02:57
quittix3I dont really think of ubuntu as "difficult".. I just think of it as annoying because If I want to do one simple thing on ubuntu it takes like a half hour when I could be using windows and it would take me just minutes..02:57
RenatoSilvacelthunder: I KNOW! you told me!02:57
CaptWhoanyone out there  have a link for eeebuntu?02:57
rwwThis is obviously a problem with Ubuntu and not with iPhones. It's inconceivable that they could deliberately be set up by Apple to stop people from being able to sync from them with non-iTunes programs.02:57

seangrove(this is as root)03:04
celthunderZimsky: did you start it in a screen session03:04
seangroveI thought it was perhaps a permissions issue, but I think it's actually a kernel problem03:04
seangroveI don't have modprobe in the container though, so I'm wondering how I can get the container to be able to mount loop devices03:05
seangroveI know this is probably a bit technical - any suggestions?03:05

Centallithif you are not looking for pretty then Gnome 3 isn't the answer. It is more prettified than KDE 4.03:45
kroq-gar78hylian: ah cool03:45
NeoncamouflageIn terms of function over looks, Gnome 3 better than Gnome 2.x?03:45
hylianCentallith, yeah, but i have limited choices here. i am not willing to go lxde, for instance. gnome 2 is here for a finite time only.03:45
RenatoSilvathanks all03:45
kroq-gar78hylian: there's also xfce4 and kde. I prefer xfce03:46
Centallithhylian have you tried Enlightenment 17? it is not as pretty.03:46
hylianCentallith, yeah, not my first choice either. to be honest the one i hate the least is currently gnome 3. If i  could leave it gnome 2 forever, that would be fine with me.03:47
rwwwait for Ubuntu 11.10, install GNOME Shell, enable GNOME 3 Fallback03:47
CentallithYeah, as of right now Gnome 3 is a bad option. Super unstable. Wait for oneric.03:48

LordDragonCentallith, what do i change the permissions on? everything except /var in ubuntu ?04:05

NeoncamouflageProbably a stupid question, but why do some bash scripts have "done" at the end and others do not? What does this do?04:14

ubottuTo use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info04:30

tripelbHi, I found lxdream_0.9.1_i386.deb the Dreamcast emulator on a web page. What is the correct method of installing it? I normally use apt-get05:13
Jordan_Usyclopse: You are on a chat network with multiple channels. Right now you are in the channel "#ubuntu", which is for Ubuntu support questions. This is another channel, "#qt", for qt support. To join the channel #qt type "/join #qt" into your client (without the quotes).05:14

C_SmithI'd prefer not to relog because I'm installing a bunch of software.05:17

C_Smithso, I couldn't get sudo gnome-system-monitor to show the transmission-gt process, but when run regularly, the process is still there, any other suggestions?05:33
m0ndepending on the installer you may need some extra options but generally that should do it.05:33

uRockC_Smith: do you have htop installed05:34
C_Smithnot to my knowledge, no.05:34
uRockit is like top, but prettier and makes killing things via CLI much easier05:34
uRockto install it just run sudo apt-get htop05:34
m0nuRock, i've run through that... it has a bluetooth module installed, bluez is installed etc etc, it's just that the bluetooth module does NOT work. Says bluetooth is disabled, click on the turn on bluetooth button it blanks out.05:34
C_Smithwell, I'd install it if I didn't have 45 games installing via the software center.05:35
m0ni've read somewhere that the ID for the bluetooth module loads the incorrect (toshiba_bluetooth) module when it should load the ath3k module05:35

uRockC_Smith: do you have a SNickers bar, you aren't going anywhere for a while05:36
C_Smithguess I'll wait till tomorrow, restart, and see if this persists,05:36
tripelbm0n at what location will the dpkg package expect to find the file of interest. Ie where should I put it.05:37
m0nc_smith i find that using cli for installing packages to be MUCH quicker and more descriptive than the software centre gui05:37
C_SmithI know, it's getting late here, so I'll just let it run overnight, hopefully it aint still running that torrent.... kinda doubt it as the process is labeled as zombies.05:37
m0nanywhere.... more than likely save it to your downloads folder05:37
C_SmithI'm not afraid to use command line (if that's what you're talking about) IF I know the package I'm looking for,05:38
m0nthen start up terminal, go to your downloads folder and run the package.05:38
C_Smithbut for just browsing, I use software center, I just use command line for installing everything else, VB, SBM, etc.05:39
m0nfair enuff C_Smith, if i find a package i like, i generally put it into a text file, and when i rebuild my box i have a recollection of software i like and can quickly do it via CLI05:39
* m0n shrugs05:39
C_Smithsame here,05:39
C_Smithsometimes I have to use the net to find the repo if the repo changed, though, but I tend to use apt-get, A LOT.05:40

soulis77-SEHi all, a very basic question. I'm installing a new VPS server and want to disable root login. Now before that I need to set up a new user account. I want to know which permissions the user should have? I also would like to be able to edit files, install software and reboot system.06:11
madmnwhy would you not want root soulis77-SE06:12
bhueyanybody here know about setting up static interfaces directly ? is /etc/network/interfaces deprecated ?06:12
AutodidactiteDoes anyone know why in 10.04 the "Keep Aligned" option is still stuck on06:13
Autodidactite?06:13
astraljavabhuey: If you use NetworkManager, then yes. You need to do that by using the nm-applet.06:13
bhueywhat about via command line remotely ?06:13
Myrttimadmn: ubuntu has root disabled06:13
=== UltimediaOS is now known as Markus-[uOS]
Autodidactitemadmn, sudo is your friend06:14
soulis77-SEmadmn: Easier to hack, or well they know the username. It is a server, remote host, not my local computer.06:14
Dulakbhuey: it's not deprecated, but any interface setup in /etc/network/interfaces won't be managed by network manager.06:14
fips4di'm getting this error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/441240/06:14
fips4dwhat's the issue?06:14
Dulakbhuey: so it's either/or, not deprecated.06:14
madmnwhat would your user that create need to do then soulis77-SE06:15
bullgard4_bhuey: Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation. Having done so, please put here in this channel a more specific question.06:15
Flannelbullgard4_: I don't think that's relevant.06:16
madmnsoulis77-SE, you can set the permissions for the new user that you make and give any access to that user that you want that user to have06:16
bullgard4_Flannel: Ah! What do you think is relevant?06:16
soulis77-SEmadmn: install, remove software, edit most files, reboot system, setting up LAMP. So Sudo is needed06:16
madmnits pretty easy to give that kinda access to a user06:17
slothCan someone tell me how to scan my network for the ip adresses of the other users?06:17
madmnjust be carefull who you give access to what06:17
soulis77-SEmadmn: Yes but I then want to disable root login but don't want to lock myself out from the system by mot be able to edit the sshd_config06:18
Autodidactitesloth, nmap06:18
bullgard4_sloth: nmap06:18
Flannelbhuey: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/net-fixed-ip-address.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html#static-ip-addressing gives you GUI and manual methods of setting static IPs (it still uses /etc/network/interfaces)06:18
Dulaksloth: arp -n06:18
KeLv_MaNuSloth, access your router and you can view the ip06:18
AutodidactiteYes arp also06:18
slothyes but how do i see their PC names?06:18
slothit only shows me there are 3 active hosts06:18
slothnot whos who06:18
madmnas far as i know soulis77-SE root is disabled by default06:18
AutodidactiteSome don't do that KeLv_MaNu06:18

madmnthe user that you made when you installed should be close to root06:19
KeLv_MaNuah ok06:19
madmnthen you can do such commands06:19
slothI can't find the ip06:19
soulis77-SEmadmn: No this is a VPS server set up by a Service Provider. My only way of access is the root at the moment.06:19
madmnand if the need be you can use su do for the stuff you need06:19
Autodidactitesloth, I believe nmap will tell you there computer names, even the OS type06:19
slothwhats the nmap command to list them, if there is06:19

KeLv_MaNunice saikat ;-)06:40
KeLv_MaNusoulis, i guess you can use su command06:40
Blue1you prolly want to use su -06:41
Myrttisoulis77-SE: use sudo for everything06:41
Myrttisoulis77-SE: not su06:41
KeLv_MaNuyes sudo06:41
KeLv_MaNusu is for login as super user06:41
Blue1KeLv_MaNu: yes - but there is a diff between su and su -06:42
KeLv_MaNui didnt knew that blue06:42
Dulaksudo -i06:42
MyrttiBlue1: and su - is not encouraged either06:42
Dulaknot su, not su -, use 'sudo -i'06:42
KeLv_MaNuand the "-i" is for?06:43
Dulakinteractive shell06:43
al_nz1whats wrong with sshfs user@192.168.70.102 -p 443 /mnt/windows ? I get mssing host error?06:43
KeLv_MaNuoohh06:43
Dulakit gives you a properly configured root shell, which su doesn't always do.06:44
Blue1Dulak: yes06:44
soulis77-SEok, but I want to disable root login from ssh but still be able to access the account. Can I login as xxxx and the su - to root ?06:44

Lasersfips4d: "The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" -- and you tried to use Debian package on Ubuntu system.06:45
slothso... how do i reveal the active ips through a scan?06:45
KeLv_MaNusoulis you can still use the sudo command06:45
Dulaksoulis77-SE: if you disable root in sshd_config, you can still be root, you just can't login directly as root.  If however you lock root with system tools, you cannot use su, and would only be able to use sudo06:46
soulis77-SEOk, thanks everyone. I'm disable root login in sshd_config and login as another user and then change to su - whenever needed.06:47
soulis77-SEeeShe6ai!06:47
soulis77-SEis not a good passoword for a root account. Or how many signs do you all use?  10, 15 or more?06:48
Myrttisoulis77-SE: ubuntu doesn't come with root password enabled06:49
lonixsoulis77-SE: dont use a root password06:49
wildbatsoulis77-SE: why not just sudo -i or -s ~?06:49
Dulakenabling root is just opening an attack vector for no good reason06:50
AutodidactiteYes I agree totally, sudo -i all the way06:50
KeLv_MaNusoulis you can use the same pw of your user account06:50
KeLv_MaNuif you want06:50
AutodidactiteYes it is very easy once you know how06:50
DulakKeLv_MaNu: that's very horrible advice06:51
KeLv_MaNuwell its better than not assign a pw at all06:51
AutodidactiteWhat?06:51
DulakKeLv_MaNu: just because it's less crappy than another option isn't a good reason to give 'less crappy' advice.06:52
soulis77-SEhey i changed it to 20 characters and then user account is different.06:52
KeLv_MaNuhaha06:52
soulis77-SEAnd the root will be disabled when I set up some more stuff on the server.06:52

tuxx-lonix: acpi -b06:56
AutodidactiteYes the mysterious folder, I was just checking your process so far06:57
DulakKeLv_MaNu: it's bad advice, if a password is compromised, regardless of how good it is, you lost 2 accounts, including root, for the price of 1 password.  It's just not a good idea.06:57
KeLv_MaNui know that risk06:57
lonixtuxx-: thanks mate06:57
AutodidactiteWhy not just use sudo and sudo -i?06:57

tuxx-my head feels like its gonna explode06:58
tuxx-i hope it doesnt06:58
Autodidactitelollab sounds like corruption to me.06:58
KeLv_MaNua good advice? use 2 different pw with numbers, letters and symbols06:59
LasersOr leave root with random password. Use sudo -i for everything.06:59
wildbatlollab: smbmoun to mount external HDD?~ you mean windows share right?06:59
AutodidactiteDon't have the root account enabled at all?06:59
lollabwildbat, yes the harddrive exports data via windows share06:59
DulakKeLv_MaNu: that's alright, but the best advice is to leave root locked and use sudo -i to get a root shell when you need it07:00
lollabAutodidactite, no, I don't think so, I see english characters normally07:00
KeLv_MaNuthat can be a better choice07:00
lollabwildbat, Autodidactite file names with arabic names seen as ????.doc07:00
wildbatlollab: you didn't set the character set07:01
Autodidactitelollab, then I would say that there is some sort of corruption going on.07:01
Dulaklollab: that's a codepage issue, you need to set the character set correctly07:01
KeLv_MaNubut if you forgot the user pw, logining as root could help when you want to recover or erase the forgotten pw07:01
rahul_currently I am using ubuntu 11.04, is there any way I can downgrade it to 10.10 without formatting my Hard Disk07:02
AutodidactiteVery true KeLv_MaNu, good point07:02
DulakKeLv_MaNu: you boot recovery mode for that, passwordless root access.  It's just better to leave root locked.07:02

Laserskierge: Handbrake works well for me.07:03
kiergeor can anyone recommend a easy way to rip to xvid retail dvds from ubuntu ?07:03
Dulakrahul_: not really, though you can save your prefs by backing up your home dir before you wipe it.  And keep /home on a seperate partition to make it a much easier thing to do in the future07:03
kiergeLasers, handbrake no longer writes to avi in its latest versions07:04
Lasersrahul_: In other words, you can't downgrade. Just backup /home/rahul/ and /etc/07:04

saikatHow to install Tamil Language pack in ubuntu 11.0407:05
kiergeneed an easy solution07:05
Lasersrahul_: You don't have to -- but it won't hurt. It's only 10MB at most. Your systemwide settings.07:05
DulakKeLv_MaNu: yes, recovery mode boots a single user root shell, without a password.  The idea is that if someone has physical access to the machine, you are boned without encryption anyways.07:05
Laserskierge: What do you mean? Easy solution? Most computers with VLC can run MKV just fine.07:05
rahul_Lasers : okay. thanks07:05
Dulakmp4 runs much better for me, vlc mkv support isn't awesome yet07:06
Lasersrahul_: /etc/apt/sources.list (and among many things) are under /etc/ -- Sometimes we make changes and forget to keep them.07:06
KeLv_MaNuat least physical access is required07:06
os_Can someone please suggest how can I find the default port being used by Evolution for sending mails07:06
kiergeLasers i meant the encoding07:06
Dulaki'm on a netbook though, on a good cpu you prolly wouldn't notice the difference07:06
rahul_Lasers : thats why it is necessary?07:06
KeLv_MaNubut isnt secure at all07:06

lollabwildbat, unfortunately, didn't work out07:07
trevorjIsn't there a package that puts /etc in a versioning system of sorts?07:07
lollabwildbat, the command accepted however07:07
DulakKeLv_MaNu: it's not a big deal, if they boot a livecd they can just mount the hdd and have root access anyways.07:07
trevorjI remember a project to do such and I remember there being a package for it that was dead easy to use07:08
DulakKeLv_MaNu: but you can encrypt the data on disk that is sensitive, for level of protection against physical access.07:08
Lasersrahul_: Necessary or not. It's an option. I mean, you don't have to back up your home directory too. -- But you want to. It's up to you.07:08
lollabwildbat, this is the command: smbmount //192.168.1.253/users /media/HD_users/ -o username=xyz,password=abc,iocharset=utf807:08
os_Well, if I don't give any port the mails are sent just fine to my id on gmail.com. But if i set the port to 25, 587 or 465 the sending mail fails.07:08

Viking667hm. I use Openoffice, probably LibreOffice would do the same.07:09

KeLv_MaNuthe pws are encrypted and saved in a database file, right?07:09
lollabwildbat, the harddrive doens't run windows, its an external disk with network interface and people just get into share and find files. I'm trying to mount in order to copy the files to my system07:10

DulakKeLv_MaNu: they are hashed, not encrypted, but yes07:10

AutodidactiteSo do I robinsch07:12
robinschsorry, wrong window07:12
Dulakpratz: you can do that from just about any application in linux, so the app you use depends on what you want in the pdf07:12
Viking667Dulak: what apps support that? I haven't seen a "printer driver" that outputs pdf.07:13
KeLv_MaNuSomeone read about Ubuntu apps running on webOS HP Touchpad?07:13

Votingllutz_: HOW should I do the partioning? I'm trying to do it w/ gparted and the devices menu still does not have the /deev/sdb1 device in there.07:42
llutz_Voting: use fdisk07:42
YankDownUnderVoting, Right oh. So, do: fdisk /dev/sdb => and then you can type "d" to delete the partition => it will show you the partitions. Then you can type "w" to write the partition table (this will be an empty partition now), and "q" to quit fdisk. At this point, you should be able to run gParted and actually SEE the device...if not, then we can use fdisk again to create a partition and then format it after that, eh?07:42

YankDownUnderVoting, No. Just do as I suggested. "d" for delete, then partition "1". Then "w" (write) and "q" to quit. Then fire up gParted and see what you can see. IF gParted doesn't see it, we'll use fdisk to create a new partition, eh?07:45

Lasersnmaxchat: Well -- If you don't mind occasional bugs and glitches, the experiences on 10.04 and 10.10 is pretty similar with several changes. However, 11.04 is the whole different ballpark.08:27

ikoniablivori: sure make it owned by root and set the permissions to read only access08:31
gry2Kidlike_, here too08:31
blivorigry2: Yes but I only want the users accessing the servers to read-only08:31
ikoniaKidlike_: freenode.net - read the channel list08:31

Kidlike_well I could ask here too.. but I think it's a bit hardcore :)08:32
ikoniaKidlike_: are you using ubuntu ?08:32
Kidlike_no :/08:32

blivoriwildbat: I know.. that's why I'm looking for help :P08:37
YankDownUnderkz3, Mate, so sorry - yeah, cuz that's Gnome2 - so yes, you can use Metacity themes (put them in your ~/.themes directory)08:37
kz3where will i find that directory?08:37
blivoriikonia: maybe some kind of linux firewall on the server side could do that? like restrict uploading of files?08:38
llutz_crackerjackz: just don't use GUI-stuff :)  sux is not a sudo-replacement, its a "su" which sets x-env correct. so you have to "sudo sux" on the remote host08:38
ikoniablivori: nah, that's not going to do anything, it will have to be a client side policy/restriction08:38
YankDownUnderkz3, It's in your "Home" directory => if you don't see it, you can set Nautilus to see "hidden files and folders"08:39
YankDownUnderkz3, ...and if you don't have it, you can create it.08:39

NephroJoAnneThrax, is your laptop very new and carries an intel i5 processor on it?08:56
YankDownUnder"Sandy Bridge" is an architecture for graphics on the motherboard.08:56
JoAnneThraxNephro: Not "very" new...it's a year or two old.08:57
JoAnneThraxI'm unsure what the processor is...08:57
YankDownUnderJoAnneThrax, Have you tried beating it with a stick yet? (Joking) => you might want to check for the proper video driver.08:58
NephroThe newest ubuntu is pretty smart I must admit, only this os was capable of identifying and properly running drivers for my sandy bridge, so I think it should work with anything older08:59

YankDownUnderJoAnneThrax, I'm not happy nor familiar with 11.04, so you might want to look somewhere in the System Settings for "Hardware Drivers" => see if the proper video driver is installed mate.09:01
soulis77-SEI have created an acount, I could log on to the account but then I did: PermitRootLogin No in sshd_config and now I can't even access the ssh prompt.09:02

JoAnneThraxYankDownUnder: I'm not using 11.04; I'm using 10.04.209:03
JoAnneThraxYankDownUnder: Also, I'm not familiar with this "system settings" thing09:04
m0nJoAnneThrax, try using Jockey to see if there's proprietary drivers for it. If not you can try using xorg-edgers open source drivers09:04
llutz_Voting: "alignment" is just a performance thingy. i don't know gparted, can't ssay why i won't see the drive. i'd just stick with other tools09:04

JoAnneThraxOkay.  Installing that.09:07
soulis77-SESo can anyone think of what is wrong? Everything is done with ssh since it is a remote host. I logged in as root. Created a new account, without root priviliges.

JoAnneThraxHi...my ubuntu seems to have lost its DNS server...can someone please remind me what to edit (and what to put there) to fix this?09:50
JoAnneThraxIt happens periodically, on rare occasions.  I know not why.  Usually I just edit a particular file with an address or two (which I can't remember) for DNS servers that lets me resume browsing and such without rebooting everything...09:51
llutz_JoAnneThrax: /etc/resolv.conf but it will be overwritten by dhcp or other processes09:52

soulis77-SEOk I now know what is the problem. I have Parallels Power Panel installed and it messes up my changes. Anyone know a url with info of what the parallells messes up? or how to see it? The parallells site is not that good. I use ubuntu 10.0409:53

gurkeewill the update from 11.04 to the next LTS be supported?10:55
joseph_have a nice day bye !10:55
SwedeMikegurkee: via 11.10, probably.10:55
Myrttigurkee: next version from 11.04 isn't an LTS, so direct update wont be supported10:55
boairchi guys10:55
SwedeMikegurkee: it's always been that you can't skip releases when upgrading, unless it's from one LTS to another LTS.10:55
boaircanyone knows if it is possible to setup 2 video cards and 3 monitors in Ubuntu 11? NOT with xinerama because that produces huge CPU usage, video artifacts and poor performance.10:56
gurkeeMyrtti and SwedeMike: so when now changing distributions with the aim of using the next ubuntu desktop LTS.. would you now start using 10.04 LTS?10:57
SwedeMikegurkee: why do you want to only use LTS releases?10:57
Myrttigurkee: hard to day without knowing why you've decided to go for 11.04 in the first place if your aim was LTS10:57
SwedeMikegurkee: if you want stability and 10.04 LTS works on your HW, I'd go for 10.04 right now, yes.10:57

psypher246hello all. Does anyone know what to do when you have tried everything to kill a runaway process? I have tried kill -9 PID I have tried killing it in top, what else can I do?? If I try reboot the server remotely it gets stuck so I am completely lost as to what to do with this remotely accessed server. only way i can fix this is a hard reboot and thats not an option right now? Why does kill -9 not work??11:04
gurkeeWhat is the "lucid-updates" repository for?11:04
SwedeMikegurkee: personally I install firefox via separate repositories, so I always have the latest one. I don't know about adcrobat reader, but PDF reader is included and is working well, flash I've never had a problem with on 32bit platforms.11:07
gurkeeSwedeMike, I just tried 11.04 64bit in a VM yesterday and was very pleased that Flash/Acroread were working out-of-the-box in Firefox 5 -- so you think I can have the same experience with 10.04 if I use special repositories?11:09
=== b33r is now known as Guest26098
astraljavagurkee: acroread can be found on partner repo, but not sure on which release. I remember it being there at least on most of them, and is on 11.04, but cannot confirm on lucid, though.11:09
glebihanpsypher246, if the process is a zombie, there's nothing you can do to kill it except kill its parent (if it's not init...) or reboot11:09
psypher246glebihan: crap... thanks11:09
glebihanpsypher246, you're welcomee11:10
gurkeeastraljava: and it is no problem to just use e.g. natty's partner repo for 10.04?11:10
shadyzgeeki also tried 11.04 on virtual box an d was a bad experience11:10
KM0201gurkee: no, you don't want to do that11:10
astraljavagurkee: Would advice against that, because of the dependencies.11:10
glebihanpsypher246, however a zombie should not cause any issue, why do you need to kill it ?11:11
KM0201gurkee: there should be a PPA for Firefox 5.0, ten just download the current version of Flash, and put it in Firefox11:11
gurkeeSwedeMike: from which repo do you install most recent Firefox to 10.04?11:11
astraljavagurkee: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread_9.4-1lucid1_i386.deb11:11
astraljavagurkee: So it seems to be there for lucid as well.11:12
KM0201gurkee: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html          that details how to add the firefox PPA, and then install 5.011:12

gedOHello. Can some one tell what is JAVA 2 SDK path in ubuntu?11:13
gurkeeastraljava: thanks for pointing me there11:13
KM0201gurkee: why on earth would it be "dirty" you're adding a stable PPA repository, and installing from there11:13
KM0201gurkee: thats how i'm using t-bird 5.0, and i have no problems at all w/ it.11:13
gedOGuys, does anybody knows what path is to JAVA 2 SDK in ubuntu?11:14
KM0201gurkee: if you were using a testing PPA, or a daily build PPA, then i might agree w/ you, but that repository only gets updated by mozilla upon stable release.11:14
gurkeeKM020: I was just asking :-) PPA is something like user-contributed, or am I wrong?11:14
gedOwhere I can find that JAVA 2 SDK11:14
gurkeeKM0201, ah.. I see :)11:14
KM0201gurkee: it is, but that one is supported by the mozilla team, it's safe.11:14
SwedeMikegurkee: don't know off the top of my head, I'd have to look it up and then you could do it too.11:14
gurkeeKM0201, where do I get a good overview about the meanings of the repos like updates, backports, partner, PPA, ...?11:15

eagleserverin /mnt/ do an ls - la see if the permissions are the same as the mounts you can access12:02
Myrttigroll: those are different versions of the linux kernel, you can choose one and try if they work any better than the one you're using by default (the top one, hilighted), but other than that that is perfectly normal12:02
groll!kernel12:02
ubottuThe 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)12:02
grollYeah but I had only one originally12:03
grollwhy did they appear ?12:03
groll(i did some suggested security updates and stuff from ubuntu)12:03
Myrttigroll: they appear if you've updated your system, security updates12:03
grollo i c12:03
grollhow can i even see the differences?12:04
grolland are the differences important ?12:04
arunkumar413eagleserver: did ls in /mnt/ but couldn't get anything12:04
Myrttigroll: when it comes to different kernel versions, about the only way you personally could see any differences is if some odd hardware starts working. Otherwise they might be security updates, preventing intruders cracking into your system12:05
grollhmm and the default one is the most recent, which includes all the latest security updates i did ?12:06

Monotokobrahmana, it probably won't run Ubuntu 10.04...take a look at xubuntu though13:33

brahmanaMonotoko: How about 8.04 - hardy heron?13:33
ReikokuI suggest either looking for a pre built module or rebuilding the kernel overnight13:33
blackdivineReikoku, It can ofcourse, but the new Ubuntu doesn't do a good job on guessing the optimal resolutions on VGA cable, that;s what i read13:33

ubottuEnd-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades13:34
szalbrahmana: and on the desktop it has been for 2 years already13:34
ReikokuMonotoko: Ubuntu 10.04 should run on a 2003 laptop :S13:34
Traintopsome few days ago I read a make-command something like make modules SUBDIR=drivers/net/... -but I am not sure and do not find it again... -does this sound familiar to anyone?13:34
brahmanaszal, Monotoko - End of life should be ok. If I can boot some linux I will be good to go13:34
aciculaTraintop: its missing an include file, id guess slab.h is part of the linux kernel headers13:34
[THC]AcidRain so in fstab i will do...13:34
[THC]AcidRain /dev/sdh1 /media/Server2 ext3 defaults,user,rw 0 013:35
szalbrahmana: try pressing F6 on CD boot & issuing "edd=on"13:35
blackdivineiceroot, LOL no, I have i3 and 4gb ram, just want bigger resolution so lines don't wrap on my VIM :P13:35
Traintopacicula: I did this in the extracted kernel-tree... :-)13:35
MonotokoReikoku, not well I suspect... brahmana, you may want to try DSL or some other "small" distribution13:35
Reikoku[THC]AcidRain: What's in there now?13:35
szalbrahmana: (toggle option w/ space bar)13:35
ReikokuAlso you have to edit it as root (sudo)13:35
szalbrahmana: and "nomodeset" too, for that matter13:35
icerootblackdivine: ah wrong nick :)13:35
blackdivinehaha ok :)13:35
ReikokuMonotoko: Isn't Ubuntu 10.04 gnome3 based?13:36
[THC]AcidRainReikoku: the link to a non existant floppy drive and. my cd rom13:36
brahmanaszal: Hang.. let me do that right away before I lose you.. :)13:36
welshladwell guys do i stick with 10.04 or get the newer version?13:36
MonotokoReikoku, no it's Gnome213:36
[THC]AcidRainbut. my other drive has been mounting in the same location for years now13:36
Traintopdamn it -I'll wait some time to let make compile all modules... :-(13:36
blablafrom linux). Do I have to add windows to grub or something ?13:36
[THC]AcidRainwhy is this drive wanting to do what i have not set it to do?13:36
ReikokuMonotoko: gnome2 will run on 03 hardware13:36
brahmanaszal, Monotoko -- fwiw, it did actually boot a 9.10 cd but ended up throwing Bus Error so I couldn't do anything useful.13:36
ReikokuI have gnome2 running on 1999 hardware :P13:36
[THC]AcidRaincause everyone here had helped me before, showed me a different way to mount the drive13:36
MonotokoReikoku, it all depends...it sounds like 10.04 doesn't know or support his video card13:37
aciculaTraintop: unless you tell it where to find the include files ti will just lookin in the default include directories. just unpacking kernel source somewhere will not do that. though if you are building a module within the kernel tree itself that shouldnt be an issue13:37
blablaHi. I'm a windows user and installed ubuntu on an ext4 partition. Now grub doesn't see windows at boot anymore. What went wrong ?13:37
ReikokuHe probably needs the alternate install CD13:37
ReikokuThe curses-based one13:37
Reikokublabla: Did you delete your Windows partition?13:37
brahmanaReikoku: Can I download alternate install CD by http? i.e without torrents?13:37
blackdivineblabla, Are you sure you didn't installed Ubuntu over windows partition? because if you didn't grub does a good job on detecting and listing windows so you can boot13:37
blablaReikoku: I can still see the files from dolphin13:37
[THC]AcidRainthe drive keeps changing its device name13:38
MonotokoReikoku, perhaps...but xubuntu may support it better as it is designed for older computers13:38
aiyorajuexit13:38
Reikokubrahmana: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso13:38
ReikokuMonotoko: Yeah he'd probably be better with xubuntu13:39
ReikokuBut he could just install ubuntu then install xfce13:39
Traintopacicula: the error came from a gcc-command for compiling a kernel-module; now I just did "make modules_prepare; make modules"... -it compiles EVERY module now, but it seems I have to wait that long for zd1211rw :-)13:39
MonotokoReikoku, perhaps..but rather than going the long way around, he might as well just install xubuntu? http://www.xubuntu.org/13:39
[THC]AcidRainhmmm13:39
[THC]AcidRainReikoku: it appears to be working13:39

blablablackdivine: well i defined /dev/sda5 as / and /dev/sda1 as nothing13:40
ReikokuTraintop: It means your module can't install without compiling other ones it depends on13:40
MonotokoReikoku, it isn't..I've used it to bring ancient computers back to life a lot :P13:40
ReikokuLike when you apt-get something and it gets 30 software packages :P13:41
blablawith /sda1 being my windows13:41
ReikokuMonotoko: I haven't used LINUX for a while, tbh :P13:41
Traintopbut doing make modules_prepare should do the trick, shouldn't it?13:41

ReikokuI'm running NetBSD on most of my boxes13:42
Monotokoszal..I should have just said that in the first place I think :P13:42
blablaReikoku: it says it cannot open the disk13:42
Reikokublabla: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda13:42
blackdivineblabla, if you are running ubuntu now, you should see the drives on left panel if you are in your home, click on them and identify your windows drive, is it there?13:42
szalMonotoko: XFCE is far from light any longer, as I understand it13:43
Reikokuszal: It's a lot lighter than gnome/kde/unity :P13:43
pupuserf0be20hi guys i need help with my home directory13:43
Monotokoszal, I think the recent one isn't very light...but 10.04 does the job quite nicelty13:43
blablablackdivine: yes13:43
Monotoko*nicely13:43
arcaosI have no sound coming out of my system, it used to work before but now I don't even hear the initial drums, then the sound icon appears in the system tray but there are no volume bars and no application has sound. Anybody here experiences something like it?13:43
brahmanaMonotoko, szal, Reikoku -- Would the laptop being old have anything to do with it throwing up "Boot Error" (Just that nothing else) when I tired booting with USB earlier (before I tried a CD)?13:43
blackdivineblabla, and you dont see it in grub right?13:44
pupuserf0be20"it does not appear to exist" and it does =O13:44
blablablackdivine: no13:44
Reikokubrahmana: It might not be able to boot from USB13:44

Monotokobrahmana, anything pre-2006 generally can't boot from USB#13:44
brahmanaOh.. !13:44
blackdivineblabla, ok open terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and run "sudo apt-get purge grub-pc)13:44
Reikokuszal: You mean the whole OS booted in 5 secs or xfce did? :P13:44

ReikokuFrom startx my xfce4 boots in around 3 on a Celeron E320013:45

dgandhi360Greetings all, I was wondering if there is a way to get gnome-terminal to zoom-in when called instead of requiring menu/hotkeys.14:00
brahmanaszal: The CD drive just goes dead silent a little while after the blinking dots screen (which otherwise is pretty noisy)14:01
szaldcorking: what's the final pkg version of the apt pkg to be installed?14:01
szalbrahmana: does it ever get past the dots?14:01
aciculaTraintop: you can compile individual modules as long as the source tree is configured and prepared, think you can use make M=path/to/module/directory14:02
dcorkingI know it is standard for the security team to hide launchpad bugs until the fix is available, but is 784473 supposed to remain hidden "page not found" ?14:02
ReikokuIsn't there a way to hide the dots and see the bootup under it?14:02
brahmanaszal: I have tried only two scenarios - the default and with your suggestion - and in both cases a little while after the dots the screen goes blank and no key press does anything14:02
szalReikoku: press Esc when booting14:02
Traintopacicula: thanks :-) "make oldconfig;make modules_prepare;make modules" is still running, but after it finishes I'll try your suggestion14:02
Reikokubrahmana: Try that14:03
kiichiroReikoku, xubuntu uses the xdm I believe14:03
aciculaReikoku: think alt-f1 or tab or some combination of it might make it switch back to text, not sure though.14:03

AcidRaini have the sym link in the home ftp server dir now. but it says no such file or dir15:04
dr_willisAcidRain:  ftp server may need some 'follow symlinks' setting enabled15:04
AcidRainhmmm... ill check it out15:04
iVictorActionParsnip: Before I could boot normally to 2.6.32.32 (recovery), I've had to do a update-grub. So essentially, I've already done update-grub.15:04
AcidRainthat would be in config right?15:04
kiamodr_willis, can it play 1080p mkvs of a smb share easily enough?15:04
dr_williskiamo:  should do it.15:05

dr_williskiamo:  it does samba well and 1080p i belive. and can play mkv. but iv no 1080p videos that i know of15:06
AssidAcidRain you use a diskless setup?15:06
BluesKajkiamo, personally I found xbmc clunky to use , too many menus to do what you want ...I prefer the simplicity of vlc , which is very configurable , and works well for our HT on this media server pc15:06
dr_willisCloudBlue:  you mean /root? or /15:06
AcidRainyeah. its in repos15:07
CloudBlueyes slash root (/root)15:07
kiamoBluesKaj, you use vlc for your HT?  Presumably running on ubuntu and just browse for the media you want?15:07
dr_williskiamo:  boxee and xbmc have android phone remote apps also. so does vlc.. check out gmote also if using android.15:07

TML-prvSnicers-Work2: Well, if you installed PHP via a package, you should use "apt-get source php5" and then build yourself some custom .debs15:46
Snicers-Work2So I need to recompile apache and have it replace the old apt-get version of apache. How do I do this?15:48
TML-prvapt-get source apache2 && apt-get build-dep apache215:48
TML-prvThat will give you a source tree and all the build dependencies15:48
Snicers-Work2TML-prv: I did that, it did not change the php configure command in phpinfo15:49
TML-prvSnicers-Work2: Recompiling Apache wouldn't change PHP, no15:49
jribSnicers-Work2: why do you believe you need to recompile apache?15:49
Snicers-Work2jrib: I did not mean to type apache at all, I meant php5.15:50
jribSnicers-Work2: why do you believe you need to recompile php5?15:50
TML-prvSnicers-Work2: Well, then you should be saying 'php5' instead of 'apache2' in my above suggestions, but jrib's question still bears merit15:51
Snicers-Work2jrib: Because I need to change the configure command, can I do this without recompiling php5? I was told I had to.15:51
TML-prvSnicers-Work2: Why do you need to change the configure command?15:51
TML-prvWhat's the *real* problem you're trying to solve with all of this/15:51
jribSnicers-Work2: *why*?  What is your end goal that the version in the repositories is not allowing you to accomplish?15:51
Snicers-Work2TML-prv: Because I am including MSSQL library and was told it had to be included via the configure command line.15:51
Snicers-Work2TML-prv: Freetds is not a part of PHP out of the box, I need to include it.15:52

fonfyActionParsnip, I tried running the drivers directly from the nvidia website before. it was a shell script but it didn't seem to work.  I guess the apt-get maybe works nicer because its aimed directly for ubuntu right? (its nearly finished downloading)16:50
