[00:28] hi [00:29] JohnMnemonic: nvidia imho [00:29] Agree, Nvidia. [00:30] * edbian thinks radeon cards work fine [00:31] X server on Ubuntu 11.04 with Radeon is very slow [00:31] JohnMnemonic: try using the radeon driver [00:31] Not sure it will help, just a thought [00:32] I've installed the Sun JDK and would like to use it as default, but everything still seems to use OpenJDK. How do I switch? [00:33] fructose: sudo update-java-alternatives [00:33] ok. tommorow. is that right choice 11.04? or better is 10.? [00:33] I was here earlier asking how to move / expand partitions.

Mount you ubuntu partition (do you know how to do that?) [00:34] ParkerR, unity can be turned off. [00:34] Pici: Cool, thanks [00:34] ParkerR: ubuntu classic is part of Natty, thus no unity [00:34] I know [00:34] ParkerR: JohnMnemonic may also LIKE Unity... [00:35] In Ubuntu classic there were some UI elements that didn't line up for me [00:35] ParkerR: they may "line up" for the user.. [00:35] Why I dumped Ubuntu [00:35] edbian, yes. but... I did a manual partition when I installed Ubuntu so I have a /boot, / , /home /swap and maybe one more [00:35] Pici: Any idea why the Netbeans menus would look so ugly? [00:35] ActionParsnip, Ok [00:35] ParkerR, Just because you have issues with some thngs does nto mean other people will. [00:35] gmachine_24: mount / [00:35] ok [00:35] I didn't say he would [00:35] gmachine_24: (and put it in a folder that is easy to type at the cli) [00:35] I was giving my opinion [00:36] ParkerR: you never said that, you said it is better, there was no mention of opinion. [00:36] Ok. Sorry [00:37] ParkerR, just so i understand, you are in a support channel for ubuntu, but yet you don't use ubuntu? ParkerR, do you need pecific help related to ubuntu? [00:37] specific* [00:37] I help where I can [00:37] fructose: sorry, I'm not sure [00:37] edbian, ok, thanks. just to make sure I understand, you want me to create a read/writable folder in my live cd session ... and then mount the root partition to that.... is that correct? [00:37] ParkerR: helping is good ;D [00:37] gmachine_24: yep! [00:38] edbian, great. thanks again. give me a minute here [00:38] better i'll go sleep. gd najt [00:38] I don't use it now but I used it from 9 to 11 so I have some experience in certain areas [00:38] gmachine_24: sure [00:39] is there a way to make the minimal installer boot to ram? [00:40] edbian - OK, I believe I am there [00:40] should I cd into that directory? [00:40] gmachine_24: you don't have to cd to it [00:40] edbian, ok, great. what next? [00:40] gmachine_24: We need to reinstall grub. what hdd is the one you boot? /dev/sda? [00:40] Dirus: I thoughtit did.. [00:40] Pici: Thanks anyway [00:40] edbian, yes, /dev/sda6 if it matters [00:41] ActionParsnip: I guess I never tried taking the cd out, does it do it by default? [00:41] edbian, but I think the boot partition is elsewhere [00:41] gmachine_24: Where did you mount your ubuntu / on the live CD? I need to ask all this to show you the command without errors :) [00:41] Dirus: you will still need the CD in but the installer runs in RAM [00:41] gmachine_24: You have a separate boot? Ooh I think I missed that :P [00:42] ActionParsnip: oh that's not what I'm looking for [00:42] can the livecd boot to ram? [00:42] edbian, no problem. I understand. yeah, a separate boot. but here's something: when I start up gparted nothing has a label === meritorious is now known as StrangeCharm [00:42] Dirus, i don't think so [00:42] gmachine_24: Lables are not important. [00:43] gmachine_24: you can unmount / I thought /boot was in it. Mount /boot and tell me where you mount it please :) [00:43] edbian, I mounted the / partition to ........... oh, ok hang on [00:43] gmachine_24: The command we need to run: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/path/to/boot /dev/sda [00:44] what is casper? the word is used for other things and google doesn't return relevant results [00:44] Dirus: you could make a small partition with the ISO on and grub booting to it. Kinda a lot of work though [00:44] the internet says it can be done with casper [00:46] gmachine_24: Sorry about the mistake! [00:46] edbian, what should be in my boot directory? [00:46] edbian, it's ok [00:46] Dirus, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2566121/what-is-casper-rw-loop-file-and-why-do-i-need-it-to-make-saving-persistant-on-usb [00:46] gmachine_24: Umm, grub stuff is in there? IDK exactly. [00:47] Nobgul_: ah thanks, that sorta helps [00:47] this is what I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM [00:47] gmachine_24: Here's what's in my /boot http://paste.ubuntu.com/646906/ [00:47] gmachine_24: It doesn't matter though. [00:47] it says "Unnecessary on 11.04 LiveCD. Casper now includes a functioning toram option, which even works with the iso-scan/filename= option." [00:47] edbian, ok, I found the boot directory. give me a minute to mount it [00:47] but I don't know how to enable that toram option [00:47] gmachine_24: It should be you /boot partition right? What do you mean you found it? [00:48] I mean nothing is labeled except the swap folder [00:48] gmachine_24: ahhh, so is it /dev/sda3 or /dev/sda5 or 4? yeah I got ya [00:49] yes the boot is /dev/sda7 [00:49] edbian, and it's mounted to ~/secondboot [00:50] hello all, i've made a 4gig partition on my hd, i want to set it up like a bootable usb drive, i tried copying all files off bootable usb and setting boot flag on but grub doesnt find it when i do a grub-mkconfig??? [00:50] gmachine_24: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/home//secondboot /dev/sda [00:50] edbian, you're sure about this........... ? ;) [00:50] gmachine_24: yes [00:50] wouldnt you use grub-pc??? [00:50] gmachine_24: It's going to write grub into the MBR of /dev/sda and it's going to point at your boot partition. Assuming the boot partition is write it will work [00:51] hammoommah: Talking to me? [00:51] yes [00:51] edbian, ok, hang on. [00:51] how do you tag people in these chat msg? [00:51] hammoommah: by typing there name like I'm doing to you [00:52] hammoommah: grub-pc is not a command I can find anywhere? [00:52] edbian, the last /dev/sda . . . is supposed to be what? [00:52] edbian cools [00:52] gmachine_24: the hdd you boot [00:52] gmachine_24: not a partition so no number. the actual drive [00:52] hammoommah: yes very [00:52] edbian, ok, that's what I was checking. [00:52] gmachine_24: yep [00:53] edbian and this is ok on a dual-boot with windows vista? I just want to make sure I don't foul something up [00:53] where can I find help on IRC? [00:53] gmachine_24: It should work. If it doesn't I am confident I can fix it. [00:53] tomgeorge: what kind of help?... [00:53] tomgeorge, for what [00:53] gmachine_24: worst case we'll have to write the grub menu by hand which I can do. [00:54] edbian, thanks. don't mean to be a trial..... but you know, measure twice, cut once [00:54] gmachine_24: of course! no worries :) [00:54] well I've been banned from some major IRC networks for using Tor [00:54] gmachine_24: You speak fluent english which means you're a joy to work with here. [00:54] tomgeorge, then don't use tor. [00:54] ok I know this is off topic but I'm watching the Yankees-Tampa Bay game at the Tropicana Field in St. pete (domed stadium) ............ and the power just went out [00:55] Nobgul_, it isn't working [00:55] Nobgul_, thing is I don't use Tor for IRC [00:55] only for browsing [00:55] tomgeorge, but on a more serious note, most irc networks have vhosts, so there is no real reason to use tor. But really this si a ubuntu help channel, you can try asking in #freenode someone there may help [00:55] gmachine_24: wow. Is your grub installed? [00:55] hahahaha [00:55] k thanx [00:57] edbian, no. I got an error msg to wit: Unrecognized option `--boot-directory=/home/ubuntu/secondboot' [00:58] gmachine_24: what version of ubuntu are you running? [00:58] 10.04.1 [00:58] gmachine_24: ahhh, yes then it should be sudo grub-install --root-directory=/home//secondhdd /dev/sda [00:58] hmm [00:58] gmachine_24: They changed it (it's beyond annoying) [00:59] WindowsMojave [00:59] D: [00:59] ......... and the game is suspended [00:59] gmachine_24: neat [01:00] they're saying now that lightning hit the baseball stadium [01:01] gmachine_24: did you install grub?

[01:04] gmachine_24: how did you get it to work? [01:05] edbian, you had labeled the directory ~/secondhdd when it's ~/secondboot [01:05] edbian, I changed it and it seemed to work [01:05] gmachine_24: hopefully it worked! :) try to reboot [01:06] i need some help...there is no sound on vlc youtube or amarok...and ive tried installing other video players and they dont work either...i uninstalled pulseaudio and nothing worked...i dont know what else to do...

[01:47] sudokill: yup [01:47] How is xubuntu never used it only ubuntu [01:47] i perfer lubuntu for a lite desktop.. and ubuntu for a normal desktop. :) [01:47] does anyone know what the new system monitor app is called in xubuntu? its not gnome-system-monitor any more [01:48] xubuntu just annoyed me too much last i used it. :) [01:48] both are good [01:48] i prefer lxde to xfce too [01:48] dr_willis thats what im thinking [01:48] I say just throw E17 on top of ubuntu server and be done with it [01:48] both are pretty similar on resources though tbh [01:49] I'm trying to set up a diskless workstation (thinclient) with LTSP. The server is running 11.04 64-bit and the thinclient is running 32-bit. When I log in, the screen flashes and I'm dumped back at the login screen. Selecting another session either yields the same result, or worse. Does anyone know how to even begin troubleshooting this? [01:49] chaddy, whats the point in that? lol [01:50] fishscene_2: try getting to the console. and using 'startx' to see if you get some error output. or check the /var/log/Xorg logs.. [01:50] How do I get to the console? [01:50] dr_willis is lubuntu same looking as ubuntu [01:50] Famous, no its not [01:51] sudokill: Im getting conufsed witch to download witch is better [01:51] lubuntu or xubuntu [01:51] Famous, theyre both light and will be good for your comp [01:51] Xubuntu you can try out on your ubuntu system [01:51] Famous, they just use different panels and file managers basically [01:51] Famous: lubuntu is very light, xubuntu has more feature. [01:52] Just install the xubuntu metapackage and select xubuntu on the loginscreen [01:52] help installed or use jpcsp-linux-x86? [01:52] lubuntu is as about as light as you can get with the core features most people would want. [01:52] dr_willis: I have several log files, I checked Xorg.5.log and Xorg.0.log. At the end of both, there is a Fatal server error "no screens found" [01:52] Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop, it's currently running Windows Vista so I ran Wubi, and it successfully installed and rebooted, I selected Ubuntu from the Windows Boot Manager and it just says completing the installation and then does nothing. [01:52] O, downloading both [01:52] There is a countdown from 5 to 0 and then the screen idles. Any idea on what to do? [01:53] Night all.. bed time. [01:53] Famous, ofc you can just boot both the livecds and see what one you like best lol [01:53] dr wills look like i will go to lubuntu when 11.10 comes out [01:53] goodnight dr_willis [01:53] Spikestuff, maybe try leaving it for a bit, ro does it die completely? === DeviceZer0_AFK is now known as DeviceZer0 === soreau_ is now known as soreau [01:54] hello all.

One more question, am I able to do a full Ubuntu installation from the partial one when I finally get it all set up? [01:55] Spikestuff, no [01:55] Spikestuff, tbh if you're set on using ubuntu just do a clean install its cleaner and faster [01:55] hey is there a torrent for lubuntu [01:55] ? [01:55] I think I should find the cheapest pci-e (x16) graphics card that supports HDMI output. :/ [01:56] That's what I originally planned on doing, but I can't access the BIOS since this laptop was given to me and the previous owner doesn't remember it. :/ [01:56] d-sub on my philips LCD looks aweful. [01:56] Famous, yes, any of them, transmisison rtorrent etc [01:56] I tried exhausting all these possibilities to access the BIOS to change the boot order to read Ubuntu's ISO file from a disc although it didn't work. [01:56] I just bought a new laptop today, and put Ubuntu on it. For whatever reason, the fan is always on, even if I'm not doing anything. The laptop came with Windows 7, but this was not a problem on on it.

I want to be able to randomly plug a USBstick, or my cell phone or my friends' cell phone and have the server auto mount it ... otherwise, I have to use dmesg, look up what the device was and manually mount it [02:01] If nautilus is capable of doing it, the server should be too ! [02:02] nautilus has the stuff to automount when you click on it [02:02] idk much about headless [02:03] Well, with nautilus the external disk just shows up on the desktop, and is mounted in /media [02:03] harisund: look at devmon [02:03] By [02:03] harisund, afaik it isnt mounted until you click it though [02:03] harisund: devmon and udisks combined works pretty well for me [02:03] celthunder: I see, thanks, I will take a look at those === tum is now known as Guest50893 [02:04] celthunder: apt-cache search devmon reveals nothing? === beaker8000 is now known as beaker9000 === Hackintech is now known as The_HackinT [02:04] harisund: it's a small script google it === The_HackinT is now known as The_Hackin === The_Hackin is now known as The_HackinTech [02:04] harisund: ignorantguru i believe has it on his blog [02:04] oh all right thanks [02:05] harisund here server http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download [02:06] I'm trying to set up a diskless workstation (thinclient) with LTSP.

The server is running 11.04 64-bit and the thinclient is running 32-bit. When I log in, the screen flashes a message, something about "Spurious response, last cmd = 0x9813475" and I'm dumped back at the login screen. Selecting another session either yields the same result, or worse. Does anyone know how to resolve? [02:23] question How do I search my disk for the ubuntu iso file. (turns out that was the torrent file, duh) how to do it in terminal will sork for me. 1 hard drive, many files. Where did I put it? [02:23] fishscene_2, what's your LTSP setup like? Can you elaborate more on how you have everything set up? [02:24] whereis ubuntu-11.04-desktop => that should find the torrent or the iso (if you're using 11.04) [02:24] tripelb: find / -type f -name "*.iso", or faster: locate, how old is file [02:24] ? [02:25] qin ty [02:25] Could I PM you, tripelb, please ? [02:25] python, anyone ok to PM me. [02:25] python is my partner in this project [02:26] Roasted: I have a simple setup. I have an LTSP Term 1720 thinclient from www.disklessworkstations.com. The server is running Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit and I followed instructions from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall (ltsp-build-client --arch i386) I then told my DHCP server to hand out the boot directory (dhcp-boot=/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,,10.0.0.120) [02:26] fishscene_2, what OS is your DHCP server [02:27] Everything works perfectly fine until I actually type in my username and password. The screen turns black and a little message appears at the top: Spurious response, last cmd = 0x9813475 [02:27] Roasted: ddwrt [02:27] hi! i'm a 10.04LTS user and my question is: which are the reasons for deciding keep 2.6.32 kernel for the update 10.04.3? [02:27] can anyone tell me what the default theme is in 11.04? [02:27] fishscene_2, did you update the client? [02:27] i cant seem to find out via google [02:28] Roasted: update the client? the firmware on the thinclient? [02:28] DeviceZer0, I think the name of the default theme in 11.04 using Unity is called something like "You're going to have it look the way we WANT you to see it" and that's about it. ;) [02:28] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) // Does that mean apt didn't install my packages ? [02:28] fishscene_2, hang on, let's rewind a little bit so I can understand your setup a bit more. Are you on a large network? Or is this a small network? [02:29] Hello . . . [02:29] DeviceZer0: Usually it is "Humanity" [02:29] Roasted: Small network at home. [02:29] "inHumanity" [02:29] Roasted: I'm working through some kinks before I test it on my larger network at work. [02:31] fishscene_2, your LTSP server isn't running DHCP, i sit [02:31] is it [02:31] Nope. [02:31] fishscene_2, you've never ran an update image command in terminal? [02:31] Roasted: Previously, I had it loading the amd64 image, which did not work, so I switch to the 32-bit image and that boots just fine. [02:32] Roasted: I'll give that a spin [02:32] fishscene_2, I've never bothered with a 64bit image. I use 64 bit server with 32 bit clients myself. [02:32] fishscene_2, I'm looking through my notes here. I've never ran into that exact problem, though. [02:32] success, re copying file to flash. copy and paste works. [02:33] Hi. I cannot watch the stream via browser. Wich plugin do I need to install? [02:33] Roasted: I'm updating the images now. Do you use thinclients from disklessworkstations.com? [02:33] uddu: gnome-mplayer === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [02:33] uddu: vlc is ok too [02:34] fishscene_2, I do not. I integrated LTSP as a last-resort replacement for our failing windows thin clients. As a result, I just used some old Pentium 4 s ystems we had in storage to work as thin clients, by simply network booting them first in the BIOS instead of them booting to the HDD [02:34] ok how can I install vlc wechat ? [02:34] I'm using chromium-browser [02:34] sudo apt-get install vlc [02:34] Hi. I have a Mac OS X system volumne on a hard disk in a chasis I have connected, and I can't seem to access the files in my home directory's Music directory on that drive -- "Permission denied" is all I'm seeing in the terminal.

[02:36] where was the link at [02:37] Roasted: Yea, no change. Updated the images and restarted thinclient. Same problem. [02:37] fishscene_2, what user are you logging in as [02:38] <[snake]> for atlantis... I download a script... and It installed a bunch of things, and then it asked me a ton of plugins that I didn't want. and atlantis worked after I messed around a little bit.

[02:39] hi DasEi [02:39] Roasted: Nope. [02:39] fishscene_2, do you have another router you could try just for process of elimination? (even though I don't believe that's the problem) [02:40] I used Wubi to install 11.04 alongside Windows, when I rebooted after Wubi completed and chose Ubuntu from the Windows Boot Menu, a blank terminal-like screen came up saying Ubuntu was completing the installation, then it gave a countdown from 5 to 0. [02:40] After that it stayed at 0, then left an underscore. [02:40] Any idea on what to do? [02:40] Roasted: Unfortunately, I do not. :( However, I did not have any problems when I was using my 64-bit capabile machine 2 days ago. [02:41] fishscene_2, what do you mean? were you using a 64 bit system as the client? [02:41] Spikestuff: No chances even to see a bash invitation? Press Alt+F1 / F2 or so. [02:41] Hi. I have a Mac OS X system volumne on a hard disk in a chasis I have connected, and I can't seem to access the files in my home directory's Music directory on that drive -- "Permission denied" is all I'm seeing in the terminal. Mount: "/dev/sdc2 on /media/Macintosh HD type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)" How do I fix this? Thanks. [02:41] Roasted: Yes. I have 3 machines here. 1 server, 1 64-bit Windows machine, and 1 32-bit thinclient. When I PXE booted my windows machine, it did not have any problems at all. [02:42] <[snake]> HackerII, here it is: http://ubuntuguide.net/compiz-experimental-plugins-updated-with-atlantis-and-3d-cube-model [02:42] thanks [snake] [02:42] fishscene_2, do you have access to the LTSP server right now? [02:42] Nope, it's still idling. It gives me the option to press ESC for more boot options, I've tried this and ran Normal Mode only to show a terminal and Demo Mode, but it wouldn't fully load, it would just give me an infinite screen with the Ubuntu icon and loading dots. [02:42] Roasted: I'll need to shuffle some cables, but yes. [02:42] What's the best way to install Ubuntu 10.04 over an already setup mdadm/cryptsetup/LVM Linux install? [02:42] fishscene_2, I'm curious what's in /opt/ltsp [02:43] I want to preserve /home, and my other datastores [02:43] I have: "amd64" "i386" and "images" [02:43] Testing [02:43] fishscene_2, I wonder if your client is somehow pulling the amd64 image [02:43] fishscene_2, do you need the 64 bit image any longer? [02:43] !upgrade| AndrewX192 [02:43] AndrewX192: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [02:44] What are we allowed to chat concerning? [02:44] DasEi: I am not upgrading Ubuntu, I am moving from Gentoo to Ubuntu. [02:44] Spikestuff: during dots can u press alt+f1? What are harware and memory on box? [02:44] Roasted: I can just rebuild it if I do. Shall I "sudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp/amd64"? [02:44] AndrewX192: Why? [02:44] fishscene_2, not quite yet. there was an option to put in lts.conf which would force the clients to use a specific image, but I'm having difficulty finding it... still looking though [02:44] help [02:44] AndrewX192: then you won't go other than backup and reinstall [02:45] !help [02:45] 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. :-) [02:45] wechat: QT Creator, and the WebOS SDK have problems running on Gentoo [02:45] there is no linux-headers-`uname -r` # in apt-get. Is it ok to get headers of a newer version that uname -r ? [02:45] My DHCP server is telling the client to pull the 32-bit image. My client won't boot with the 64-bit image. [02:45] fishscene_2, however, you might be able to just rename the amd64 folder to something else. [02:45] fishscene_2, hmmmm [02:45] AndrewX192: Oh work, I understand [02:45] snax: there is, and other version doesn't do : [02:45] !headers [02:45] To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [02:45] fishscene_2, the thing is, I wonder if LTSP is confused, internally from the DHCP server itself. [02:46] fishscene_2, did you set up an lts.conf file? [02:46] I will give that a try next time I boot it, wechat. I am currently using the laptop in question now. If I do that key stroke, what can I expect to happen? [02:46] fishscene_2, also, what version of Ubuntu is your LTSP setup [02:46] I am fetching my system specs now. [02:46] Roasted: Nope, where is that? [02:46] Does anyone know why 2.6.32 is decided for the 10.04.3 update? [02:46] Roasted: 11.04 [02:46] Spikestuff: command line [02:46] fishscene_2, it's not because of unity, is it? [02:46] DasEi: that line doesn't work. [02:46] E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-2.6.27.7-smp [02:46] fishscene_2, lts.conf is a file you create/edit in /var/lib/blah/blah/blah. It's a way to control the way LTSP interacts with the clients. [02:47] Roasted: I've tried almost all of the different logon sessions. They all fail or invert my screen [02:47] And what do I do once I am at the command line? [02:47] Spikestuff: incorrect installation, bad hardware support or something maybe [02:47] snax : sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) ? on which kerenl ? [02:47] fishscene_2, I'd be very curious to see what happens to the client if you rename amd64 to something else. [02:47] window [02:47] ok standbye.. [02:47] DasEi: uname -r says ---> 2.6.27.7-smp [02:48] I *hate* ubuntuforums.org. [02:48] snax: ah, smp kernel, might be, are the sources enabled for it ? [02:48] DasEi: I didn't install linux with an internet connection. I just used a CD. [02:48] Spikestuff: try the true install it's only needed 10 GB [02:48] fishscene_2, not sure why? I sure like that site :P [02:48] fishscene_2: why hate? [02:48] I have to create an account to view anything. It's stupid annoying [02:48] snax: so update sources list and run a full update, re-try [02:48] DasEi: How can I tell if the sources are "enabled" for it. ? [02:49] I ran apt-get update [02:49] fishscene_2, my account auto-logs in. I use it so frequently, I can't imagine using ubuntu without it [02:49] snax : sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:49] snax: give resulting url here [02:50] fishscene_2: I've noticed that's a new feature -- to see all with account. Is it a new change couse i didn't see in past? [02:51] http://pastebin.com/EeyUS5hE [02:51] I have no idea. I never save passwords, otherwise I forgot them.

I am thinking 11.04 is very buggy. Would you agree? Also - I am a rookie to linux. [04:18] puxtun: frax: I wouldn't recommend reiserfs for any use at this point. It's been in decline since Hans was convicted. [04:18] smw: What about some safe vga=771 or 773 ? [04:18] ext4 [04:18] ok here's my question. how do i see what dns servers my system in using? [04:18] p_res, /etc/resolv.conf [04:19] qin, afaik it only accepts 480p or 720p [04:19] frax: I would personally go with ext4. It performs well for most workloads, is reliable, and is well supported. [04:19] thank you puxtun. ;-) [04:19] that's what i wanted. [04:19] qin, currently I am looking into typing blindly into the terminal :-) [04:19] Jordan_U: alright, I'll go with that. Thanks [04:19] frax: You're welcome. [04:19] Trfsrfr: there is also Long Term Support 10.04 , 3 years of support and you can upgrade directly to the next LTS 12.04 [04:20] p_res, i used to use it, dont anymore [04:20] Trfsrfr: otherwise you will need to upgrade to 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 [04:21] Doinkle: no worries mate. [04:21] xangua, are you recommending a newb like me use a a LTS version? [04:21] Trfsrfr: only if you don't wanna go thru 11.04 [04:22] hey. i got a assembla svn repo and i want to make cron job to push every day a version of it to my machine, i should use svn checkout myrepo.com ? [04:22] Trfsrfr: you can neither stick to 10.10 for ever, only one year and a half support [04:22] does someone know about the problem with mouse on ubuntu? the mouse stops working. [04:23] xangua, 11.04 is pretty much all I know. But I find it buggy..I lose things, web pages arent visible until I'm restarting, the taskbar changes at random... [04:23] I'm having an issue. Compiz keeps locking up my computer and I have to ctrl alt f4 and kill -9 compiz to get a responsive desktop again (and then I Have to reboot because killing it messes things up majorly) [04:23] and I need to remove de module(rmmod) and get the modole up (modprobe) and so the mouse come back to work. [04:24] it's using 100% cpu when I have to kill it === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest47087 [04:26] dstufft, how are you confirming that compiz is the problem? [04:27] nit-wit: top shows compiz is using 100% cpu whenever my desktop locks up, and if I kill -9 compiz responsiveness is restored [04:27] it's not immediate [04:28] it's seemingly random when it starts to happen, but once it happens the only thing that restores responsiveness is killing compiz or rebooting [04:29] rebooting is better [04:29] well yea, because not having compiz sucks, but rebooting is a bad fix too :p [04:30] ;-) [04:31] lucascastro: i don't know your problem, but my mouse has the problem with power [04:31] it's probably something I did when I installed it. Not sure what though D: [04:31] lucascastro: i mean usb autosuspend [04:32] Karex: but did you need reload the module to it come back to work? [04:33] lucascastro: no, I only need to plug it out and in again :) [04:34] karex: I see... I'll take a look on devices log to try to find out what is happening. [04:34] if I have 32 bit ubuntu with PAE kernal, why am I only showing 4GB of memory when I have 8GB installed? [04:35] is it actually booting the pae kernel?

[04:40] Jordan_U, yeah.. thats what I was thinking :-) [04:41] whats a good ftp server for xubuntu? [04:41] Jordan_U, yet.. free -m shows only 4GB... windows 7 recognizes all 8GB and the post screen shows 8GB [04:41] dbruns: Do you get any output from "grep -i -o PAE /proc/cpuinfo | head -1" ?

[05:02] after I build packages using apt-get -b source packagename, where do I find the resultant .deb(s) ?

[05:17] vehemoth: right, unless you have any recommendations for solid unicode supported fonts I guess I'll play around here.

[05:32] Heh [05:32] Well, it's a bit complicated [05:32] I'm using lxc, and from the host, I can apt-get update just fine, and curl works [05:32] from inside of the container, I can ping, but can't seem to get any http traffic out [05:36] it connects but does not return data to wget and a web browser does not show any response [05:36] hello [05:36] Hi, everyone. Is there a Lucid package that has nm-applet contained? [05:37] I've googled it, but am unfamiliar with lxc practically. Sounds like you could have some kind of iptables mess going on as you first stated. I'm not going to be much help, sorry. :( [05:39] JoAnneThorax: it's in network-manager-gnome [05:39] Hi.....I got aquestion in my mind....Whydoes ubuntu does not include plugins like mp3,rar etc. (which I have to download each time after its installation). Is there any reason for it ? [05:40] Chipzzz: Gracias. [05:40] de nada [05:41] flash mp3 rar etc [05:41] are all non-free [05:41] there license doesnt make them free to include [05:41] thus you have to get them from the source ie lame mp3 win rar and adobe flash [05:41] pretty much there eula reads like this [05:42] d_atharva_: if you pay attention while installing... since like 10.04 i think.. there's a box that says "click here if you wish to download/install nonfree multimedia codecs" (basicallyt hats what it says) [05:42] if you're not checking that box.. ou only have yourself to blame [05:42] it is free to use but without written consent by the creator you may not incorporate these into your own software [05:43] d_atharva_: beyond that, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restrictd-extras will install just about everything you need, w/o scouring the internnet to install them. [05:45] : So these plugins should also not be in remastered ubuntu's like zorin etc.....(Which are installed in it)...So do they have licence of giving it with their remastered product ? [05:46] to be honest d_atharva_ i have no idea [05:46] im guessing they have some kind of agreement [05:46] or they remake it like debian does under there own name [05:46] debian uses iceweasel wich is the same as ff [05:46] they might do similar [05:47] hmmm....ok [05:52] I am running Natty on a laptop, but whenever I boot on Battery Natty freezes on the log in screen. The odd thing is when I boot windows first, reboot then log in to Natty it goes through. Already tried downgrading pm_util to lucid version, didnt work.

[05:54] alazare619, right click-setings prefernces [05:57] Hi, I'm running 10.04 and I needed to repair a some boot files, and I just inserted my live cd, how do I get to 'recovery mode'? [05:58] All I see is 'Try ubuntu' [05:58] and 'install' [05:58] gechmog: Alternate CD, broooo. [05:59] Lasers: I downloaded the wrong one? D: [05:59] :'( [05:59] gechmog: What problem are you having with "boot files"? [06:00] gechmog: LiveCD is for LiveCD. :( [06:00] gechmog, are you trying to reload grub to boot? [06:00] !recovery | gechmog [06:00] gechmog: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [06:00] Can I have a link to the alternate install cd download page? :D [06:01] gechmog: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/release/ [06:01] gechmog: You don't need the alternate CD to fix things, it just makes it easier. [06:01] gechmog: What problem are you having with "boot files"? [06:01] nit-wit: Jordan_U : Basically I installed an update and then when I restarted I get thrown into some type of shell. It has (something-here) and I can't do anyhting. [06:01] I have problem in wireless for hp g42? [06:01] Lasers: Thank you so much ^.^ [06:02] gechmog: You probably should answer Jordan_U's question about your issues with "boot files" [06:03] Jordan_U: It basically says 'can't locate /init/' -- I can check real fast if you'd like and read you the message? [06:03] gechmog, is this a wubi install? [06:03] I have problem in wireless for hp g42? plz help [06:04] I am running Natty on a laptop, but whenever I boot on Battery Natty freezes on the log in screen. The odd thing is when I boot windows first, reboot then log in to Natty it goes through. Already tried downgrading pm_util to lucid version, didnt work. [06:04] nit-wit: No, this is just a recovery I need to make [06:06] gechmog, personally I and I suspect others would like to see the boot script run. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [06:06] gechmog, this script will give you a text file of what is where to pastebin. [06:08] nit-wit: Okay. [06:08] gechmog, you also clear up whether you want the OS running or recovering stuff from it as well. [06:12] hi, what do it means by 'compose' key in this tutorial? https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/tips-specialchars.html [06:12] which key is it referring to? [06:12] i know that 'windows' is referred as 'meta' or 'super' key sometimes [06:12] so what is a 'compose' key? [06:13] nit-wit: I am also trying to get the OS running, so that I can get my data... I hope. [06:13] :P [06:14] gechmog, thanks for clearing that up, the script should get us the info we need. [06:14] JohanSJA: It combines multiple keystrokes similar to windows' alt-numpad sequesces except that it adds things like acutes and backquotes on top of letters [06:15] (sequences) [06:16] Chipzzz: thanks [06:16] nit-wit: So, I am on my laptop now, and the infected comp has no networking ability, after I recover and all is working and I run that script, would you still get what you need? :S [06:16] :) [06:17] *infected-troubled [06:17] poor choice of word on my part [06:18] gechmog, I suggested the script as it is a unknown as to what has happened, it is for getting you back in with the correct fix. === pepito is now known as pepito141 [06:18] hey guys [06:18] I am trying to install Ubuntu on a totally new laptop. During the installation stage, I started thinking about the disk partitioning issue. Should I go for 'Default - use all' (which results in one large / partition and 4GB swap) or 'Manual partitioning (10GB for /, 4GB for swap, rest for /home)? [06:18] oh ok [06:18] Hi, anyone using wink here - I cant get to install it - it says 2 packages missing - installed it but still says the same [06:18] is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu 32 bit to 64 bit? [06:19] can anyone help a noob with a version selection? [06:19] NielsMkn, as far as i know thats impossible without alot of work [06:19] I have been using the 'manual partitioning' so far but I am wondering if it really worth effort to manually partitioning them. [06:19] and its impossible to run 64 bit apps on 32 bit ones :( [06:19] JohanSJA: i will go for manual [06:20] i just inherited an alienware i7 and want to replace vista with 11.04 but should i choose 64 bit? [06:20] pepito you must be having more than 4 GB RAM [06:20] so you should definetely go for 64 bit [06:20] ok. thanks, i will check now [06:21] JohanSJA, that is sort of a personal preference really. What do you want? [06:21] wildbat1: I have been told that separating / and /home would be ideal but confused why Ubuntu didn't use that as their default [06:21] JohanSJA: I usually use a relatively small partition for the system (/), a swap disk 1 or 2 times the size of ram, and the rest /home [06:21] is there any way to get the ip of an interface using the name contained in /etc/network/interfaces rather than what pops up into ifconfig? [06:21] NielsMkn - i have exactly 4gb ram. enough? or go with 32bit? [06:22] JohanSJA: there is many thing Ubuntu / other OS should do but that don't, like windows ~ it won't have D: by default ~ [06:22] Go with 64 bit [06:22] nit-wit: Just try to understand why Ubuntu didn't use a better partitioning scheme for Default. And why separating / and /home is a more ideal situation? [06:22] 32 bit will allow you to only use 3 GB RAM, 1 GB will be wasted [06:22] RenatoSilva: What do you mean by "using the name contained in /etc/network/interfaces"? What is wrong with ifconfig? [06:23] ok thanks. logging off and starting the d/l! cant wait! [06:23] JohanSJA, better is a subjective.;) [06:23] Good Luck :) === wildbat1 is now known as wildbat [06:23] nit-wit: perhaps it is. [06:23] :-) [06:23] can someone help me please...i haven't used ubuntu in a few years [06:23] NielsMKn: 64bit uses around twice as much ram [06:23] JohanSJA: if you trash your kernel, restoring it is easier/safer if it is on its own disk... /home is protected [06:23] Chipzzz: I normally allocate around 10GB for / and 2xram for swap and rest for /home [06:24] JohanSJA, I use the one partition, I have evrything off the computer it is full of OS's mainly. [06:24] i really wish i would of made my home directory its own partition... [06:24] vehemoth, you sure? [06:24] nit-wit: I guess I should have been more clear (sorry), but i have no networking what so ever to download your script, so I also have no ability to paste it on pastebin as well. :( [06:24] I was using 10.10 64 bit before this [06:24] JohanSJA: that sounds about right [06:24] I'm in a BusyBox with the whole (initramfs) thing [06:24] gechmog, how are you talking to us now? [06:24] i have a crappy toshiba netbook that has windows 7 starter on it. i loaded ubuntu netbook remix from usb and am trying to recover my files by copying them to a 500gb flash drive [06:24] and I had no such ram hogging issues [06:24] vehemoth: NielsMkn: 64 bit does not use even close to twice as much RAM. Pointers are twice as large but pointers are only a small fraction of data stored in RAM. [06:24] according to this page, ktechlab has been 'superseded' https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/i386/ktechlab/0.3.7-9ubuntu1 , can anybody tell why or with what package? [06:24] I can't even mount a usb device. [06:24] for the majority, the community clearly thought that the default of combining root and home is satisfactory. devoting /home to a seperate partition does allow you to thoroughly trash your installation without impacting your personal files (in most cases) [06:24] nit-wit: I'm on my laptop now. [06:25] Thanks for clearing that Jordan_U :) [06:25] gechmog, can you boot a live cd on the infected computer and plug a usb into it. [06:25] NielsMkn: You're welcome. [06:25] nit-wit: My desktop is what is having the problem, but after scowering the forums it seems all I need is a alternate cd as you so kindly linked to me. :D [06:25] Chipzzz: ya. Just wondering if this is a more recommended way of partitioning a new drive when Ubuntu just go with 1 partition [06:25] nit-wit: sure [06:26] i have to say tho xubuntus ram usage is not that much less then gnome it is definetly faster and snappier [06:26] the boot is slow as hell tho for some reason idk why compared to gnome the boot is wayyyy slower [06:26] but once loaded its waaaaaay snappier [06:26] nit-wit: is there a way to look in a windows partition and get my music and videos? [06:26] well I am all for ubuntu classic [06:26] i can tell this case i can actually play html5 videos ow [06:26] cause... [06:26] and now [06:27] gechmog, I doubt the alt cd is the answer to be honest it is probably simpler then that. Use the thumb to transfer the script download to the bad computer, on the live desktop=cd booted, then transfer it back to the laptop, and paste it here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [06:27] DefTone: you should be able to access your windows partition easily in Ubuntu [06:28] Jordan_U: I mean exactly as stated, imagine an interface is called dsl-provider in interfaces file, but pops up as ppp0 in ifconfig because pppoe is stupid [06:28] how so JohanSJA ? [06:29] Jordan_U: so I need to hook an interface through what's in interfaces file [06:29] i can see it in disk utility.....is there a way to open it up and copy files to a flash drive? [06:29] DefTone: you are in your Ubuntu right now? Just find it in your Nautilus. [06:30] you should have all your drive listed at the sidebar of nautilus (file manager) [06:30] Jordan_U: just like ifup/down does. In the example, it'd be ifup/down dsl-proviver BUUUUT ifconfig ppp0! [06:30] hey guys, where is the applications, system in the 11.04 version?

[06:33] DefTone: You might also try either server or alternate... I think they're both pretty small [06:33] actually DefTone id do netinst with unetbootin of debian [06:33] later guys [06:33] anyone with an ADSL connection configured with pppoeconf or something?

[07:03] join ubuntu-br [07:04] rkhshm: I'm not sure about bluefish, but for instance geany knows to automatically insert the closing tag when you type , but only after you've first saved the file with the correct prefix. [07:04] s1l3ntW4rr10r: are you refereeing to my question? [07:04] rkhshm: As probably most editors work, but have no time to confirm. [07:04] no [07:04] ok :) [07:04] ^^ [07:05] guys where i could find l10n help for Ubuntu/Kubuntu [07:06] hanthana what language? [07:06] rkhshm: Err.. prefix would be the file extension, ie. .html [07:06] acr: si [07:07] acr: i want to know the exact files to be translate to get kubuntu in my language === leppi is now known as _dpb_ [07:08] hanthana is this not done? [07:08] acr: i do not know [07:08] I want to know the files [07:09] hello all. does anybody know why my server is using a "pae" kernel? what's that? why isn't it using a regular kernel? [07:09] hanthana, Are you not able to find the "Help" files in the Synaptic Package Manager for your language? [07:09] acr: what is the exact place to ask this question if you guys not aware of this [07:09] also, it's a makeshift server (a laptop) [07:09] I am not a Ubuntu user [07:09] kroq-gar78, You should be able to pick which kernel you desire through package management [07:09] but I want to localize the installer [07:10] YankDownUnder: but what's a "pae" kernel do? [07:10] YankDownUnder: acr ^^ [07:10] PAE = physical address extension [07:11] YankDownUnder: what's that mean? I'm no technical expert :( [07:11] Hi guys [07:11] kroq-gar78, It means that that particular kernel can make use of memory beyond 4gb [07:11] hanthana english is always excellent choice >_< [07:11] acr: where is the file(s)? [07:12] the firefox that comes with ubuntu, does that have HTML5 support or is it apache2? [07:12] I'm about to set up Ubuntu with a separately partitioned home directory. Will it wipe the contents of that partition before installing my home folder, or is it safe for me to leave my backup there? [07:12] YankDownUnder: ah ok. so is PAE default for ubuntu server installs? I'm 90% sure I have 2GB ram on that computer... [07:12] hanthana look in source [07:12] hanthana, That might be something to ask in the dev channel... [07:12] ssfdre38_: I think it depends on which version of firefox you're using. If you're using 4 or above, full HTML5 support AFAIK [07:13] kroq-gar78, My servers user PAE's...and I don't like using 64bit linux... [07:13] kroq-gar78, im using FF5 and its not working for some reason [07:13] * hanthana worried about this #ubutntu channel since none of them not forwarding to proper place [07:13] I have a question, if a software installation was interrupted halfway through, does this mean that files and directories of this package are still left in the filesystem? must i remove them manually? [07:13] hanthana, It's up to you to join the #ubuntu-dev channel...no one else. [07:14] any way debian and fedora much better than ubuntu supoort [07:14] rave, You should be able to correct the installation (in a term, do: sudo apt-get -f install => then retry your installation) [07:14] YankDownUnder: I was asking the name of the channel if you do not know the location of the files [07:14] hanthana, Well, have fun with Debian and Fedora. [07:14] YankDownUnder: ok, but does the server installer do PAE by default? my laptop only has 2GB ram but it's still doing PAE installs by default [07:14] after several queries you point the channel name [07:14] hanthana, I gave you the name of the channel. [07:15] anyway thaks [07:15] YankDownUnder: thank you ill try that [07:15] kroq-gar78, If you're absolutely worried about the kernel, use the package management system to change to a different kernel. Easy as that. [07:16] YankDownUnder: ok. how do I change the kernel type? the only reason I want to do this is because I am apt-cacher-ng-ing all of my ubuntu computers [07:17] so, there would be no problem switching the kernel type, yes? [07:17] kroq-gar78, Find the kernel you want in the Synaptic Package Manager, then you'll be able to take it from there. Search on "linux-image" [07:18] kroq-gar78, I can't tell you that - there may be programs/services on the server that require the PAE kernel... [07:18] YankDownUnder: k thanks dude. do you know of any examples that might require PAE's? [07:18] just wonderin [07:19] kroq-gar78, Mate, nah, I don't...however, that being said, since I moved all my servers and client's servers to Ubuntu, I let the system determine the necessary kernel as per. [07:19] hello [07:19] fuck [07:19] Language...

[07:24] kroq-gar78, Just as finding out that "CTRL-L" replaced "clear" in a term.... [07:24] mang0, Mmmm...nah...Dropbox, yeah... [07:24] Polish chann is piece of crap with plenty of motherf*ckers. They've banned my IP, or host. [07:24] JohnMnemonic, Ah. Right. [07:24] setup a bnc =) [07:25] JohnMnemonic: language :P [07:25] JohnMnemonic, Well, if I was 40 years younger I might understand what you were saying... [07:25] YankDownUnder: Because the drop&share applet is supposed to upload text to pastebin (Fine) images and other files to dropbox, but it won connect to dropbox [07:25] :/ [07:25] Or imagebin [07:25] mang0, Um....I'll assume then you've setup the application with your Dropbox account info and all that wonderful jazz, right? [07:26] mang0: i won't be able to really help, but is it docky? for for other's info who might be able to help [07:26] i can't :'( [07:26] johnMnemonic was in the 90's [07:26] ..yeah...cool moovee it was... [07:26] YankDownUnder: There are no settings to do that, which is what Iḿ confused about [07:26] kroq-gar78: No, Cairo Dock [07:27] mang0, Ah right....well, if it's in Cairo-dock (glx-dock) then there should be something in the system settings for glx-dock (Cairo-Dock) that would pertain to that...eh? [07:27] I'm about to set up Ubuntu with a separately partitioned home directory. Will it wipe the contents of that partition before installing my home folder, or is it safe for me to leave my backup there? [07:27] YankDownUnder: I've looked there, and I can't see anything. I've looked in the cairo dock settings annwya.... [07:27] mang0, Guess what? I just found the settings mate. [07:28] frax: wipe the contents of *which* partition? [07:28] YankDownUnder: wth, where?! [07:28] kroq-gar78: the partition which would hold /home/frax/. [07:28] YankDownunder:Hey it worked :-), thanks a bunch. [07:28] mang0, Well, go to Cairo-Dock, Configuration, then find "Drop and Share", then click the "Configuration" tab (make sure your settings are ADVANCED and not SIMPLE, firstly) [07:29] aha! [07:29] advance not simple [07:29] rave, Coolbeans. You're buying the beer. [07:29] gotcha, that was my problem [07:29] Thanks :) [07:29] kroq-gar78: which is where I'm holding the backup of my old home folder as well. [07:29] mang0, ;) [07:29] frax: have a look at this, see if it will answer your question: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:29] :) [07:29] frax: i've my homedir separated with / (root), my data is safe so far [07:30] frax: I mean when reinstalling ubuntu, my home partition is not cleared [07:31] datang|pergi: but you have to make sure the check box for "format" in the gui installer of ubuntu isn't checkmarked to make sure it doesn't reformat /home [07:32] kroq-gar78: yes, sure [07:32] hello boys and girls > does anyone know if there is a channel dedicated to nomachine - nx client/server ???

[07:34] datang|pergi: alright, I guess I'll trust that it won't screw things up. Thanks for the help. [07:35] Is there any office of canonical in India ? [07:35] h00k: never knew that existed :) [07:35] kroq-gar78: :) [07:35] saikat, I'd assume in Mumbai there'd be one... [07:36] After i changed the host, how is it i restart the host-files? (like /etc/hosts) etc.? [07:36] vooze, You just restart the network. [07:36] vooze: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [07:36] in command line [07:37] saikat, If you can wait until next year, I'll tell you after I visit south India ;) [07:37] kroq-gar78: when upgrading (or fresh-install-upgrade), does ubuntu remove inappropriate settings in homedir? [07:37] kroq-gar78, that does also count for servers? [07:37] datang|pergi, No. [07:37] vooze: all ubuntu installs [07:37] datang|pergi: what do you mean by "inappropriate settings" in homedir? [07:38] vooze, Yes. If you make a change on a server (say you're doing it from remote via ssh or telnet) and you make static changes to the hosts, you restart the network on the machine in order to affect it with the new hosts file. [07:38] YankDownUnder, okay thank you :) === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [07:39] datang|pergi, Just bear in mind that if you're installing fresh (non-upgrade) and you've got say, Gnome2 settings from a prior installation in your home dir that are not consistent with the newer version, you'll have a few issues until you clear them up, or just backup those settings elsewhere (or rename them) [07:39] kroq-gar78: maybe there are settings in older version that doesn't relevant or can break the new one... [07:39] datang|pergi: look @ YankDownUnder's post ;) [07:40] kroq-gar78: ok, he/she typed faster than me, :D [07:40] :) [07:40] I'm typing with my toes.

Brings up more questions then i ever wanna know. [07:42] XD [07:42] YankDownUnder: another thing, if I have a launcher in the dock, for example xchat, then when I click it, I have 2 xchat icons in the dock....How do I get rid of that? [07:43] Anyone here tried to use GIMP with Unity in 11.04? [07:43] Autodidactite: me [07:43] Autodidactice: works perfect afaik [07:43] Autodidactite: me too [07:43] 64-bit [07:43] mang0, Well, one would be for the launcher, the other would be for the active program. Somewhere in the taskbar settings you should be able to have xchat (like pidgin) literally minimise to it's launcher... [07:43] It is a really sucky experience [07:43] Unity is a sucky experience. [07:44] if you know then why did you ask? or do you mean just unity, not unity+gimp? [07:44] YankDownUnder: task bar settings are in the advanced mode? Or somewhere completely differant? [07:44] I am constantly clicking on image window just to get the menus up [07:44] mang0, Yeah...make sure you're viewing the "advanced settings" mode [07:45] Autodidactite: oh yeah forgot about that... [07:45] k [07:45] Autodidactite: only bad part about gimp+unity imo [07:45] I really like Unity but some times it is like it is real fighting me hard [07:46] yup :( [07:46] Autodidactite: take a look at those links about Gimp ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/TheShockito#g/c/E723459DA9C1EFF3 ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/GimpKnowHow [07:46] Hi guys [07:46] i use ubuntu 11.04 with Unity [07:46] Cool will so thanks curiousx [07:46] yesterday my network manager icon disappeared!

It works perfectly for me. [08:26] Rouse, How big is the ISO? [08:26] hust 122 mb [08:26] *just [08:26] actually it gparted iso file [08:26] Rouse, You're copying it from where? [08:26] from pendrive to my laptop [08:27] Rouse, Do a filesystem check on the pendrive, then try again. [08:27] tell me clearly === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:28] Rouse, Um...you may want to unmount the pendrive, and then use "fsck" on that drive to make sure there are no errors. On that token, you can use gParted to attempt that for you. [08:28] How do I determine which is my CD/DVD drive? I have /dev/cdrom1, /dev/cdrw1, /dev/sr0, /dev/dvd1, and /dev/dvdrw1 as options, according to mplayer...

[08:30] JoAnneThrax: Some of them are just symbolic links. [08:30] noobplzhelp, do "sudo make install" [08:30] JoAnneThrax: they're likely just symlinks to /dev/sr0, check... [08:31] mang0: I think that it has something to do with my kernel [08:31] 2.6.38-8-generic [08:32] jrib: well, so far none of them are working... [08:32] JoAnneThrax: what are you executing exactly? [08:32] can you convert a ext4 filesystem to ext2 without destorying data ? [08:32] JoAnneThrax: If you're trying to run DVD -- you probably should install... dvd stuffs.

[08:50] Fenixdeux, yes, then its more good,. when you install server ed, it asks you to what kinda server you want. [08:50] and rsync over secure connection for proper backups [08:50] Fenixdeux, you can check things like LAMP, FTP, Mail, SSH, etc just check and and hit install while installation. [08:50] Fenixdeux: I use ubuntu server 10.04 LTS as well.. everything is smooth.. [08:51] blackdivine: where can I learn about what it asks as it's the hosting guys that'll be installing it [08:51] Fenixdeux, you will like it :) hmm. It asks like?

[08:52] Fenixdeux, sorry I didn't get your question right :/ [08:52] blackdivine: It'll be the VPS hosting company people that install it so where can I learn about the questions ( otoh it might be a disk-image they just throw in there, not normal installation ) [08:52] lasers.. i managed to randomize my MAC address but i can't connect to the internet now lol [08:52] noobplzhelp: You're directly connected to the modem+router?

I used to use that on debian [08:55] Fenixdeux, to install you do "sudo apt-get install package_name" [08:55] !apt | Fenixdeux [08:55] Fenixdeux: 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) [08:55] Fenixdeux: Yup. Ubuntu is based on Debian Unstable.

[08:58] i'm not able to update the chromium browser from synaptic [08:58] noobplzhelp: Many modem / ISP often register a certain MAC address. Not sure about your situation. [08:58] arunkumar413, "sudo apt-get update" then if any updates are available you will get them automatically [08:58] blackdivine: no, i did but still it's not updating [08:59] lasers: i was changing my mac address through virtualbox previously, i just want to do it within ubuntu so i dont have to reboot ubuntu from virtual box [09:00] noobplzhelp: Okay. I guess you got your macchanger. [09:01] arunkumar413, then how are you sure that there are any updates?

[09:02] arunkumar413, ah i see :) sometimes the updates come a bit (2-3) days slower in ubuntu coz the people manage the repos themselves [09:02] noobplzhelp: Maybe you need to restart your networking service. [09:02] they are just a mess and taking up all the screen [09:02] arunkumar413, so you can wait or you can go to chrome site and download a linux build :) [09:02] blackdivine: the update was made weeks ago [09:02] lasers: i'm running ubuntu via virtualbox, my internet is fine on my normal OS, WITHIN virtualbox's ubuntu there is no internet after i changed my MAC [09:03] doesn't IPv6 affix the MAC addresss to your IPv6 address or some other grossly inappropriate shit like that.. luckily you ( the client ) can reply "no comment" to the reqs to get that part of the address and I belive that fake mac addressers for this purpose are around [09:03] noobplzhelp: "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [09:03] noobplzhelp: "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart" [09:03] arunkumar413, I myself has this 12.0.742.112 (90304) Ubuntu 11.04 :) [09:04] Fenixdeux: Languages. [09:05] blackdivine: can u check if you are able to update to 14 [09:05] arunkumar413, since chromium is coming from external resources ( not even ubuntu people are managing it ) it can be slower, and yes let me check [09:07] arunkumar413, no updates mate :) we have to wait. Btw why you want it so desperately? any feature you want? [09:09] arunkumar413, you can get latest builds from here http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/ [09:10] blackdivine: I read that 14 was released weeks ago, but that isn't available in synaptic [09:10] arunkumar413: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily [09:10] arunkumar413: Pick your poison. Good luck. [09:10] arunkumar413, yes I know that :) it's because Chromium people manage "themselves" when their updates will come to linux [09:10] Lasers, haha :P [09:13] I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and the apps bar at the left of the screen won't disappear any more. [09:13] From tiem to time it appears and stays there... how do I make it hide again? It's on top of all my windows.

Ctrl+Fx doesnt work [09:16] ctrl+alt+f1-f6 [09:16] kwukduck: Ctrl + ALT + F1. [09:16] doesnt do anything [09:16] whit this range u could navegate to the different consoles [09:16] different sessions [09:16] !tty [09:16] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [09:16] left ctrl [09:16] left alt [09:16] yep [09:17] and the keys f1-f6 [09:17] if i do it after my screen goes standby nothing happens at all [09:17] if i do it during splashscreen i get SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use [09:17] Hello!

[09:22] bullgard4_: I left you a message -- thinking it was in ~/.gconf/something (For Keyboard Shortcut). [09:23] kz3: If you insist on downgrading, you can't go wrong with 10.04 LTS (because it's LTS). [09:24] lasers, issue started when my graphics drivers were not initializing properly, noticed no hardware processing when dragging windows etc, so i thought i reinstall the damn thing, then this happens after i removed fglrx, yesterday all was fine... [09:24] Lasers : Hey man, how are you? whenever I needed help I always find you....by the way what does "LTS" means? [09:24] !lts | kz3 [09:24] kz3: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [09:24] ohhh , is there any body knows how to upload a file with ssh? [09:24] Ali_: It does not exist. Use scp.

I kept myself at bay (and away from them). [09:25] what should i do? [09:25] hehe [09:26] how can i change the format of a flash stick to cdfs [09:26] Ali_: "man scp" or "scp --help" should explain (and examples too). [09:27] lasers : you mean that i have to install it on vps the ..? [09:27] lasers : you mean that i have to install it on vps then ..? [09:27] dyd: nothing, because you chmod 777 not chown. However if you accomplish what you are trying to do you will destroy your system [09:27] Ali_: No. It's already installed. I think it's standard binary from ssh.

But it does not show all the pre-defined GNOME/Metacity keybindings. I suspect that among them there is the culprit F12 keybinding.

[09:30] Lasers : thanks :) [09:30] kz3: Your machine can't run 64bit. The worst case? It'll halt and prompt you to use proper arch (it would be 32bit). [09:30] Lasers: you are aware that uname gives the bit version of the current kernel [09:30] Lasers: not what the cpu is capable? [09:30] where is scp? [09:31] Myrtti: Oh really?

[10:50] i have have a question about logon after the screensaver [10:50] if it has the same filename Evanescence :P [10:50] ssh-copy-id is what i remember [10:50] nothingspecial: I tried that, but seems error command line format, what's the correct command line ? [10:51] show us the error [10:51] Evanescence: Did you create a key? [10:51] nothingspecial: yes, generated [10:51] Evanescence: im guessing your not using root [10:51] Evanescence: ssh-copy-id user@host [10:52] nothingspecial: you need to include the user there i think, if he is using it for a user not root [10:52] so like [10:52] ssh-copy-id -i /keyfile user@serverip [10:52] tixo5: nothingspecial If I want to copy machine-1 to machine-2 . the this command ssh-copy-id should be executed on which machine ? [10:52] I am working on header compression, could any one please forward me any links related to ESP/IP header compression? [10:53] i cannot connect filezilla to my site from ubuntu [10:53] the server [10:53] machine-1 [10:53] sorry the client < Evanescence use my command [10:53] tixo5: I see. tixo5 error : ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.100 port 22: No route to host [10:54] local IP? [10:54] tixo5: yes, I am using wireless route. [10:54] !ubuntu [10:54] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[10:54] tixo5: then let N900 phone connect to Notebook [10:54] Ok, this is getting annoying. The apps bar (dock?) at the left of the screen appeared again. How do I make it disappear? [10:54] Good morning [10:54] Evanescence: Does host have ssh server installed? [10:55] ^ [10:55] I came just to ask a question to you all [10:55] When will the next Ubuntu version be realeased? [10:55] Evanescence: have you successfully connected without keys? [10:55] nothingspecial: yes, installed. and I run sshd to start ssh server. [10:55] How can I find out?

[10:56] ssh-copy-id -i /keyfile user@serverip [10:57] No route to host means either ssh is not running or one of the machines is not connected to the LAN [10:57] Evanescence: ^^ [10:57] tixo5: still that error. I guess the problem is on N900 phone [10:57] ash [10:57] ah [10:57] nmap it, see if port 22 is open lol [10:57] i doubt it will be on a phone, im not sure how networking works on phones tbh [10:57] nothingspecial: Phone??? [10:58] now I understand that notebook's ubuntu is ok, I need to ask #maemo now. [10:58] nothingspecial: how good are you with paache dude? [10:58] apache [10:58] tixo5: not :) apache or paache [10:59] damn :( i came here for help originally lol [10:59] tixo5: Someone will help, just keep trying [10:59] :) [11:00] you know aptitude keys, like i - installed -A auto installed [11:00] v = virtual package, does that mean its fully installed on the system or what ? [11:02] tixo5: virtual package is one that isn't a package but installs other packages afaik [11:02] hmm [11:03] tixo5: what is your problem with apache? [11:03] well, i want to enable some modules [11:03] good morning fellow ubuntu users [11:03] tixo5: Like ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:03] some like mod_security, isnt in the /mods-available folder [11:03] im so disapointed with the linux version of ultraedit [11:03] i was told to come here from httpd [11:03] hi all , any one here has used open-audit? [11:04] because its apparently compiled by ubuntu ? lol === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [11:04] there is this package in aptitude, but its got a v, so im not sure how to enable the module, its not showing in webmin [11:04] v libapache2-mod-security2 [11:05] Would anyone be willing to help me identify the source of a display problem I am having when I attempt to configure a triple monitor configuration using NVIDIA X Server Settings? [11:05] and others like mod-evasive [11:05] how can i enable these exutux ? [11:05] tixo5: sudo a2enmod mod-security [11:06] a2enmod isnt available on ubuntu ? [11:06] uhm? [11:06] yea i know ? [11:06] debian based, but i couldnt find it [11:06] is it in another repo? [11:07] tixo5: it is on apache2-common [11:08] tixo5: it is on apache2.2-common [11:08] mariaines [11:08] but ive got that installed already [11:08] -bash: a2enmod: command not found [11:08] mariaines [11:08] ahhh i failed exutux [11:09] tixo5: paste dpkg -l | grep apache [11:09] tixo5: ok well [11:09] wasnt root [11:09] :O [11:09] sudo [11:09] I added a second video card, and although NVIDIA X Server Settings detects the device, whenever I configure a second screen to use the new display adapter, I get an error upon re-loading xorg. Might someone assist me in resolving this problem? [11:09] ya rofl, fail [11:09] however, its not listing the module i want [11:10] so must i compile extra modules myself? [11:10] or should i try and install this 'v libapache2-mod-security2 ' even with the 'v' ? [11:10] do you have installed libapache2-mod-security? [11:10] hongry_: configure how. whats the first video card? [11:10] im not sure totally what 'v' means still, does it mean something else similar is already isntalled? [11:11] What's up with Ubuntu 11.04? It keeps crashing every few minutes and I didn't even install/configure very much. [11:11] tixo5: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-security what says? [11:12] i didnt want to do it incase it messes up something else ^ i was checking, shall i just run it ? i have no image/snapshot of my server atm [11:12] The screen keeps going black, then shows the image again, then black, then the image again and I can't click on anything. When I get bored of watching that, I have to do a cold reboot. [11:12] what is the command to luch virtual machine from a terminal window? [11:12] There's also the dock at the left side of the screen that sometimes appears and it just won't go away. How do I hide it? [11:12] dr_willis, : The first video card, (GPU 0) - (GeForce 6800 XT). The Second video card, (GPU 1) - (Geforce 8400 GS). GPU 0 is a PCI Express x16, GPU 1 is listed as a PCI Express x1. [11:12] rumba: what image [11:13] I would like to replace it with Cairo-Dock. [11:13] dr_willis: Ubuntu 11.04 x64 [11:13] tixo5: ok but it need to installed [11:13] ahh, exutux i think its virtual, because the real package is libapache-mod-security [11:13] Note, selecting 'libapache-mod-security' instead of 'libapache2-mod-security2' [11:13] so its just been added to apache2 for name purposes [11:13] searching purposes* [11:14] tixo5: yeah [11:14] exutux: any ideas how i would find the version of soemthing compiled in the ubuntu repos? [11:14] i may want/need to compile it myself if its old ? [11:14] tixo5: can you give me an example of what you want to know [11:14] i suppose i really want to know, how up to date the ubuntu repos are for apache modules [11:15] whether i should compile them all myself [11:15] tixo5: I don't understand, so if you want enable that module you'll need to install it befor and after enable by e2enmod [11:15] a* [11:15] I can't work like this... [11:15] tixo5: the package version normally tells you the version of the software in it [11:15] tixo5: keep in mind back ports also [11:15] hongry_: ive used 2 nvidia cards befor. but one issue ive seen is if the 2 cards differ in age. they may need different driver versiins. i tend to have cards that have 2 video outs these days. [11:15] * rumba keeps thinking about the Windows 7 he has at home... never had issues like these [11:15] ikonia: this doesnt show anything [11:16] dr_willis, : if they do indeed require different driver versions, how might I accomplish installing the correct driver version for the newly added second card? === Mahmoud is now known as Guest42322 [11:16] this is the latest version from mod_security website "modsecurity-apache_2.6.1.tar.gz" how do i know if its been compiled by ubuntu, or if they are using an older version [11:17] rumba, that is because the display drivers aren't installed properly [11:17] tixo5: what does it say ? [11:17] join #reddit [11:17] sorry forgot / [11:17] MrNthDegree: It worked fine for exactly two weeks. [11:17] hongry_: im not sure you can. you did run the addayional drivers tool? then used nvidia-settings tool? [11:17] ikonia: ubuntu is trying to install this "libapache-mod-security" [11:17] and "mod-security-common" [11:17] tixo5: there is normally a version number on the package though [11:17] tixo5: if you query it [11:17] there isnt lol [11:17] o [11:17] query how? [11:17] hongry_: or just use the gpl driver. but it sort of sucks [11:17] MrNthDegree: So what can I do about it? [11:17] rumba, I don't tend to use non-LTS versions of Ubuntu [11:18] hej [11:18] Gada ktoś po Polsku? [11:18] rumba, check your drivers are installed correctly if you're using either ATI or NVIDIA proprietary drivers [11:18] bbl [11:18] dr_willis, : right after you said the bit about the different drivers I fired up the "additional drivers" tool. I'm not really sure what to do though, honestly. I have three drivers listed, one that is activated, and I'm not sure what to do from there... [11:18] i'm reading a guide , it says install Mono via winetricks, but i don't see it there [11:18] #ubuntu.pl [11:18] hongry_: i just use the recommended ones [11:19] rumba, also keep in mind if you're using Unity, that it's quite a new desktop environment and is quite rough [11:19] tixo5: apt-cache policy libapache-mod-security [11:19] hongry_: how many monitors are you using total? [11:19] which version get you? [11:19] rumba, Unity tends to expose bugs in a lot of drivers when running with 3D effects enabled [11:20] exutux: thanks for the command [11:20] Version table: [11:20] 2.5.12-1 0 [11:20] dr_willis, : none of them are listed as recommended, as far as I can see. the first two are both listed as "NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library". The third is listed as simply "nvidia_173". The "nvidia_173" driver is the one that is activated, but not currently in use, according to the Additional Drivers utility. [11:20] MrNthDegree: How do I know if 3D effects are enabled? [11:20] it is quite new, i will see if there is an exploits / bypasses for that version [11:20] hongry_: the not in use can ba a bug. its in use if nvidia-settings says it is.. [11:21] hrm.. [11:21] maybe I'll try activating one of the other ones... [11:21] tixo5: yeah but there is constantly security upgrades [11:21] hongry_: you did run nvidia-settings and turned on twinview [11:21] there are* [11:21] rumba, for Unity, you'd know if you've installed compiz [11:21] gotta run bbl [11:22] dr_willis, : no, when I was trying to configure the second display I had configured it for "Separate X Display". I do not desire to use TwinView. [11:22] tixo5: so I think that isn't a problem if it isn't latest new version... [11:22] rumba, try the following for me: http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-04-natty-login-to-classic-gnome-2-desktop [11:22] MrNthDegree: Well, compiz is installed. [11:22] I just de-activated/re-activated the "nvidia_173" driver, and it says I need to restart computer to apply changes. [11:22] MrNthDegree: Thanks, great! [11:22] exutux: that depends if there is a severe security problem with it [11:22] :P [11:22] http://pastebin.com/465L5EEP [11:22] I'm going to go give it a spin. I'll be back momentarily. Thank you thus far for your recommendations. I'll let you know how it goes when I return. [11:22] this is my partitioning scheme [11:23] tixo5: sure [11:23] rumba, the GNOME 2 desktop is a very well tested environment, while Unity is still very new (think of it as akin to when Vista first came out!) [11:23] hiya [11:23] how do i remove a service from starting at boot without deleting the actual app? [11:23] there are 2 oses opensuse (in the extended partition) and arch in the other 3 [11:23] i have smbd running and I dont want it to start at boot [11:23] now i want to add ubuntu [11:24] so how do i partition? [11:24] so how do i partition now? [11:26] nightcrow: looks for update-rc.d [11:29] Hi.. unable to play videos in this link http://www.video.mediaset.it/video/sportmediaset/tutti_i_gol/225240/udinese-lazio-2-1.html lucid 10.4 , tried on firefox and also chrome. Installed moonlight plugin as well but still not working.. any ideas.. updater flash as well [11:31] Do you know if it's too complex to set up a network printer with Ubuntu, when that printer is under a Windows machine? [11:31] Alberto- Bitch [11:31] I mean, the Windows machine is the one the printer is connected to [11:31] dawid pardon? [11:32] SwedeMike: the option you talked about [11:33] Alberto- Polnish [11:33] !pl | dawid [11:33] dawid: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [11:33] alberto, eww... [11:33] Does anyone now if trucrypt hides and encrypts upon reboot? [11:33] Hi, anyone can help me to solve my problem that is a, when I installed FF+ubuntu on my matchine there is no NIC driver , so then I can't access the internet , where I can find this NIC driver for hp compaq 6200 pro mt pc [11:33] alberto, i've only ever had a Linux box sharing the printer, with Windows as a client [11:34] wh1zz0, what do you mean? [11:34] MrNthDegree Did it work for you? [11:34] tharaka: what's FF got to do w/ it? [11:34] wh1zz0: most disk-encryption does real time encryption, it doesn't do anything specific when rebooting. [11:34] I am looking for a tool or Something which hides folders and lets me unlock it upon boot [11:34] alberto, with the printer connected to Linux box and shared to Windows, yes, not done it the other way [11:35] Something like what hide folders v 3.5 does on windows [11:35] alberto, when Linux shares it, you don't even need samba because CUPS can be accessed through Windows if you use XP [11:35] David_4d- Bitch! [11:35] dawid, stop that [11:35] wh1zz0, I don't know what that does, however, what I do know is that everything you save inside a TC container is encrypted [11:35] Bazhang- Wchat? [11:35] MrNthDegree Thank you [11:36] When you say encrypted, what kind of encryption are we talking about here? [11:36] alberto: I believe I once had a setup where I shared a printer via Windows file and printer sharing, and it worked [11:36] Prompted for password each time I try to access it OR just file protection [11:36] ? [11:36] alberto, with XP you'd use the URL option and put in the URL to the printer you get from the CUPS web interface and then install drivers as you would for local ;) [11:36] wh1zz0, you can choose the symmetric cipher, amongst other things [11:37] wh1zz0, every time you try to access the container [11:37] MrNthDegree Great! Thanks indeed [11:37] sorry I got it wrong [11:37] let me know how can I find that driver [11:37] wh1zz0, but truecrypt is lame compared to Ubuntu's encryption option [11:38] !alias > lonix [11:38] wh1zz0, the built-in home directory encryption means when you're not logged in, everything is inaccessible, and it depends on your password to decrypt the key to decrypt the files [11:39] hi i've got an issue with two clients, I removed nis and nfs-common added new users however, I have no network. Ntwork manager doens't show any eth* connections, anyone can tell me why and how to resolve this issue? [11:39] !bashrc > lonix [11:39] Whew.. The thing is, these are files I use all the time, so it would be ardous to keep repeating the password each time I want to access files. But also, on the other hand the are very personal files that I like to keep hidden from prying eyes. So I'm sort of looking for something which can automatically hide upon reboot and only ask me for pass when I boot [11:39] lonix, /msg ubottu please [11:39] wh1zz0, the built in encryption does that [11:39] kk, sorry [11:39] Alberto, I am of Polish. Jeb on the snout fucking prick [11:40] wh1zz0, why didn't you opt to encrypt home directory when you installed? It does that [11:40] Hmm... seems I'd have to make do with the default ubuntu encryption then.. Where is is located and how can I activate it? [11:40] fuck [11:40] No I just don't want the entire home dir encrypted [11:40] wh1zz0, why not? [11:40] I just want a particular dir inside /home/user [11:41] hiya [11:41] hey all anyone here familiar with virtualmin? [11:41] how do I remove a service from bootup [11:41] In Banshee is there a way to hide the artist view and sort albums by artist? [11:41] wh1zz0, well the built-in encryption uses command line tools for mounting individual directories [11:41] i have smbd running but I dont want it to start when I turn on the server, I only want to start it manually [11:41] MrNthDegree: Well, lol.. lame reason to be honest [11:41] how can I achieve this? [11:42] wh1zz0, you could script truecrypt on login [11:42] wh1zz0, that would mean a box would appear asking for a password and then mount the folder [11:42] Hi.. unable to play videos in this link http://www.video.mediaset.it/video/sportmediaset/tutti_i_gol/225240/udinese-lazio-2-1.html lucid 10.4 , tried on firefox and also chrome. Installed moonlight plugin as well but still not working.. any ideas.. updated flash as well [11:42] MrNthDegree: I guess I was just looking at a scenario whereby it wouldn't look as though I was hidding my entire system from my friends [11:43] wh1zz0, well you're not if you encrypt /home/user and use two user accounts [11:43] Okie.. so MrNthDegree where do I find the default encryption now that I didnt enable it during installation? [11:43] on GNOME 2: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups [11:44] When making a new user, there's a checkbox to enable encryption [11:44] hello, anyone have problem with playback it flickers in my hdmi out tv lcd [11:44] but does not flicker in my main monitor [11:44] MrNthDegree: I just want to encrypt one folder /home/user/thisfolder [11:44] wh1zz0, that isn't built-in unfortunately, so you'll have to script that yourself [11:44] Owh... okie I'm on 11.04 so i guess i'd just find user and groups [11:45] Hmm....any nice material on this please? [11:45] MrNthDegree, wh1zz0, I wonder if you can make a encryptfs filesystem in a file, then mount it in your desired folder? [11:45] hi i've got an issue with two clients, I removed nis and nfs-common added new users however, I have no network. Network manager doens't show any eth* connections, anyone can tell me why and how to resolve this issue? === xindzz`off is now known as xindz [11:45] i.e. with the loop device [11:45] av-adilson: ifup? [11:45] it's the encryptfs filesystem file I cannot make [11:46] Can you link me to a resource? [11:46] wh1zz0, http://nerdcenter.de/howto-debian-loopback-dm-crypt-luks-pam-mount/ <-- complicated but works [11:47] MrNthDegree: I chose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen. This is exactly what I wanted and I hope it will behave better. Thanks! [11:47] Hmm.. Thanks [11:47] wh1zz0, that will be unlocked on login though [11:48] nightcrow, ifup doesn't recognise eth0 which should've been the standard [11:48] wh1zz0, which is no different from encrypting the whole home folder, since as soon as someone is logged in, they have access [11:48] MrNthDegree but it will make it easier to move around the folder, i.e to other machines [11:49] Hmmm [11:49] Then that will not work for my purpose [11:49] arikm, many files vs. one file yeah [11:50] Anyone ever tried cryptkeeper/ [11:50] ? [11:50] wh1zz0, what are you looking for exactly then? Nothing wrong with manually opening truecrypt and putting in the password once each time you log in [11:51] Yes, if it would mean only putting the password once, i.e once logged in, then I'm cool with it [11:51] wh1zz0, yes you can do that with truecrypt [11:51] but the issue of putting the password all the time is what I felt would be like a nagging wife [11:51] MrNthDegree I agree, password just once, seems to satisfy the requirements [11:52] wh1zz0, just at mount time [11:52] but does truecrypt also hide the folders or it just locks it? [11:52] hi everyone,Can anyone help me on how to change folder permissions of folders in the file system [11:52] Ok, hi. I have problem when playbacking video (i have nvidia 9800gt) outputs are dvi out to monitor and hdmi to my second projector screen [11:52] and. The problem is that i get flickering when playbacking video on second projector, and this DOES dont affect my dvi main monitor! [11:52] Please help. [11:52] wh1zz0, there isn't any folder in the real world ;) [11:52] :p [11:52] wh1zz0, truecrypt makes a big file containing a whole filesystem, which is mounted as a folder [11:52] wh1zz0: trucrypt implements an entire filesystem. Just happens you can put it on a file [11:52] wh1zz0, when it's not mounted, there's an empty folder there [11:53] wh1zz0, you can mount it to any folder, even a folder containing files [11:53] MrNthDegree: Hmm I see === UltimediaOS is now known as Markus[uOS] [11:53] Interesting stuff [11:53] wh1zz0, so you could just mount it to say /home/user/Public and no-one would know there's ever been anything there [11:53] wh1zz0: and the idea behind trucrypt is that folks that look at the file cannot tell it is even a truecrypt file [11:53] even if Public has 100s of files in it, those files are untouched [11:53] just a bunch of junk [11:53] Lol.. awesome [11:54] But each time I login I have to mount only once right? [11:54] yes [11:54] Great.. thanks for this [11:54] and if you forget to unmount, it's still unmounted at reboot [11:54] YES! [11:54] Exactly what I need [11:54] :D [11:55] just be aware that even with this, there are privacy leaks [11:55] But one last question, why do you feel truecrypt is lame? [11:55] av-adilson: driver? [11:55] especially since having it mounted is as vulnerable as any other file on your system [11:55] wh1zz0: It's not fully open-source software? [11:56] Owh [11:56] That [11:56] jpds, it is, it suffers from the Firefox problem [11:56] There are known bugs right? [11:56] jpds, you can't edit it and leave it called Truecrypt, same as Firefox [11:56] wh1zz0, it's not lame, if you use it right. But compared to doing the whole of $HOME, it's not very good [11:56] MrNthDegree: I know. [11:56] wh1zz0: All software has bugs. [11:57] wh1zz0, for example: Open a picture in a photo management/editing app and that file will show in the last opened list [11:57] av-adilson: mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.old [11:57] av-adilson: and then reboot [11:57] Yea I know.. but I only call serious bugs, bugs [11:57] wh1zz0, which is not good because then people will know a file was opened which isn't there right now [11:57] Omg..! that's a serious one MrNthDegree [11:58] wh1zz0: got to be sensible with filenames too! [11:58] There was one tool I used in winbows pista which had that error [11:58] wh1zz0, that's not a truecrypt bug, that's a not-using-encryption-properly issue ;) [11:58] It made the whole thing useless [11:58] Well.. yeah not really a bug [11:58] * MrNthDegree gives people a separate user account to work around this issue [11:58] But it made using the whole tool completely useless [11:58] hey....i have made some changes to grub during the boot (specifically: added nomodeset)...i would now like to make this a permanent change for all restarts (not for upgrades as yet though)... [11:58] nightcrow, will try [11:58] I mean the essence and whole cover would be bown away [11:59] wh1zz0, not really, if you encrypt all of $HOME and have an autologin on another user account which is for non-private use... [11:59] Hi guys, anyone who knows how to set a system wide proxy setting? I have this instance in the cloud and wanted to access the internet thru a proxy. Any idea? [11:59] ...googling for permanent changes suggested making edits to menu.ls file which does not exist under /boot/grub....any suggestions on what's going on here? [11:59] can iptables be use? [11:59] am using Natty [11:59] wh1zz0, on Windows, privacy is such an issue that Truecrypt lets you have a hidden container for a second copy of Windows :P [12:00] wh1zz0, so it's about understanding how all your software works and working around privacy issues [12:00] Hmm [12:01] * MrNthDegree has some pictures of past girlfriends and other stuff which is potentially compromising and uses encryption of the homedir and separate accounts for that reason [12:01] Lol [12:01] Hahaha [12:01] MrNthDegree: to be clear, that is for any encryption system [12:01] arikm, true, but the built-in caters for all that because of the way Linux works, excluding Java using /tmp [12:01] gotta be careful about /tmp files as well [12:02] yep [12:02] I agree, the builtin is nice, and transparent [12:02] /tmp can of course have LUKS with random keys === baobao_ is now known as linsux [12:02] same with swap [12:02] in fact, I seelcted the item and entirely forgot I had until I saw the $HOME/.Private dir [12:03] hi i'm having a problem with network connectivity, my NIC card dosent detect by ubuntu, but works fine with windows, can some one help me to solve this [12:03] wh1zz0, in addition there are less obvious issues which hit people occasionally, like privacy leaks on IM clients [12:03] Okie.. I just thought for a second there.. So what you are advising is that the best way is to have a second account where I keep all compromising files right? [12:03] how can i create a link in the dekstop to a command? like wine /media/LaCie/exe/program.exe [12:03] wh1zz0, yep and that account to be encrypted [12:03] MrNibbles, its incosiderate to encrypt porn [12:03] Hmm.. I see [12:03] wh1zz0, and then all you need do is have auto-login on a non-private account [12:04] So let's say I wish to pick up a couple of files I just login to that account right? [12:04] And work directly from there [12:04] pretty much [12:04] people will see the non-private account all the time since it "just loads" and won't think about any other accounts [12:04] and if you need an excuse, just name the account "Maintenance" or something and claim it's there for emergencies like when your normal account won't login [12:05] MrNthDegree: You have a very good point there, if it aint broke don't change it.. I'm going to try something now [12:05] (after all, that's a necessity on most systems) [12:05] dyd, right click and create launcher [12:06] aetas: thank you [12:06] hey....i have made some changes to grub during the boot (specifically: added nomodeset)...i would now like to make this a permanent change for all restarts (not for upgrades as yet though)...

I'm currently using Ubuntu but i'm on a windows network that I do not manage.

Is there something I "need to"or can do to make my ubuntu machine compliant with however windows networks are managed? [13:40] balooo: can you ping by ip# [13:41] dr_willis: pinging the ip works. But out ips are not static. [13:42] jrib: http://pastebin.com/4rYYcUVr [13:42] you mcould set up ip to hostname in hosts file. but that can get messy. if not static. you may have to get some service going i recall. [13:42] skfax: guess wahtever vmhgfs is doesn't support symlinks? Can you verify it does? [13:43] what ffmpeg codec should i use to combine an m4a-audiofile and a jpg-file to make a youtube-compatible video-file? [13:43] jrib: That is likely the issue. Is there any other way of setting up a link if it doesn't? [13:43] i set my router to remember mac to ip settings. ;) gotta run. bbl [13:43] dr_willis, i messed up i did a chown -R www-data:www-data / then i went back and fixed /var and /etc to root:root..

[14:33] edbian, so I should do that to the main directory of the website? [14:33] i have a cheap usb tv stick, how do i get it to work? [14:33] Soothsayer: I gave incomplete commands and the solution I gave is one of many (perhaps not the BEST) but it will work just fine. Would you like complete commands? [14:33] ok, I followed the tutorial on the Foxyproxy webpage ... according to man ssh "Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS server." [14:34] Shambat: It will, but why are you trying to ssh into www.paypal.com? [14:34] edbian, yes. Basically i have this directory called 'foo' which is my website. I want it to be both read/write accessible to www-data (apache) and my user (so php command line) can access it too. [14:34] ... [14:34] Shambat: it won't [14:34] edbian, and I want the permission to be recursive on ALL the files under this.

[14:35] in particular with ubuntu 10.04 server and 11.04 desktop [14:35] Pici: I'm not, www.paypal.com is just there to fill the need of the command, the socks server will at request-time determine where the request will be relayed, and so it will send it somewhere else ... at least according to foxyproxy docs [14:36] Pici: as a socks5 server ? [14:36] with other ubuntu versions and other linux distro all works correct [14:36] Soothsayer: Perhaps it would be more proper to make you the owner and www-data the group owner since it's in your home [14:36] Soothsayer: hang on [14:36] edbian, yes [14:36] Shambat: You need to ssh into the server you'd like to tunnel your connections through. [14:36] Phr3d13: the webserver has no svn capabilities, you setup an svn repo and a web server, there is a module to allow you to hook the web server into the svn repo to display the repo [14:36] edbian, but it has to also ensure that all 'dynamically' generated files are created with permissions accessible to both my user and www-data [14:36] Pici: ok, yeah I have done that [14:37] Zdar! [14:37] Hi! [14:37] Soothsayer: I was afraid you'd say that. That' part is harder. [14:37] Soothsayer: I have to look it up first [14:37] iko, got a link to a guide for those? [14:37] edbian, the whole crisis is happening _because_ my php console scripts cant access the files created by apache :-( [14:37] Soothsayer: yeah, hang on [14:38] Phr3d13: no, I'm sure there are plenty on the web or ubuntu wiki [14:38] so your answer is basically "Google it?

[14:53] In lucid, I try to change the boot console font by editing /etc/default/grup and changing the GFX values but to no avail... after invoking sudo update-grub no gxf line can be found in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which means that update-grub is not taking into account the changes I make in /etc/default/grub, what can it be? [14:53] MangledBody, I read you but what I am asking you is this: Does that motherboard have an integrated graphics port [14:54] MangledBody, if it does, perhaps you can boot to a useable desktop environment and obtain the latest Nvidia drivers [14:54] mobius420: Searching for the description of motherboard, I'm not sure, I can't see any other monitor port... [14:54] MangledBody, the alternate cd installed on my 6yr old pc , where the live cd couldn't get past the first phase...it just stalled there [14:54] MangledBody, you can do this without an integrated gpu, but it will probably be easier for you with working video [14:54] MangledBody, okay [14:55] mobius420: ok, found... no it doesn't [14:56] In lucid, I try to change the boot console font by editing /etc/default/grup and changing the GFX values but to no avail... after invoking sudo update-grub no gxf line can be found in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which means that update-grub is not taking into account the changes I make in /etc/default/grub, what can it be?

[14:57] MangledBody, I am checking to see of your GPU can use the latest Nvidia driver for linux...but I have to admit "MS-Corp" being branded on the card and in the name is not a good sign [14:58] mobius420: What about alternate CD, how BluesKaj said?

[15:01] MangledBody, see the driver here --> http://driverscollection.com/?H=GeForce%207025%20/%20NVIDIA%20nForce%20630a&By=NVidia&SS=Linux%2032-bit [15:01] dr_willis: how do I do that/ [15:01] compare and save ;] [15:01] anyone here heard of a error with aic94xx and 11.04 ? [15:02] zykes: is that the raid controller ? [15:02] make a .xsession file that runs a terminal and whatever commands you need. stop the gdm service, use 'startx' to see if it works [15:02] ikonia: yeah, mine loads the driver but doesn [15:02] mobius420, BluesKaj: OK, so i need to be connected to the internet while I'm installing it and I need a 32b Ubuntu [15:02] zykes: I've had no problems [15:02] doesn't find any disks, it worked on 10.10 and 10.04 [15:02] mobius420, BluesKaj: Am I right? [15:02] how to copy entire home directory? [15:03] MangledBody, that is a link to a 32 bit driver, but supposedly there is a 64 bit driver there as well [15:03] sktn07: copy it where ? [15:03] mobius420: OK... [15:03] MangledBody, of course yes please make sure your hardware profile is lined up with the software you are installing [15:03] http://pastebin.com/HuRBLmqL [15:03] there [15:03] is the error ikonia [15:03] suppose to /tmp/dgp [15:03] mobius420: ok [15:04] ikonia : suppose to /tmp/dgp [15:04] MangledBody, I concur with mobius420 [15:04] sktn07: did you read the bash guide that pici gave you [15:04] sktn07: it would be worth reading that [15:05] zykes: well, at least that explains why it's not seeing the disks as it's getting disabled, why it's having that I/O error though, I don't know [15:05] ikonia: but grr, wonder why 11.04 breaks it :( [15:06] mobius420, BluesKaj: OK guys, I'm at the install screen (Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu, Check disk...) Now what am I supposed to do? [15:06] dr_willis: no luck running X with exec dwm in .xsession :( [15:06] MangledBody, try without changes [15:06] mobius420: OK [15:07] mobius420: Loading [15:07] MangledBody, in other news, I located this insteresting bit http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.11.html [15:07] daedra: have it launch a terminal befor the exec, 'xterm &' and perhapx a exec xterm after the exec dwm, then see if you get a term. to work with [15:07] Does ubuntu have any drivers for audio over usb devices? [15:08] is there a way to insert more include directories for my compiler when i use "make" rather than it only searching /usr/include? [15:08] b0ot, I think so [15:08] b0ot, yes [15:09] how can i remotely access another ubuntu filesystem? [15:09] seteve: use, look at the -i and -l flags, check out #gcc channel too [15:09] mobius420: loading screen is away... Now only purple screen, still loading? [15:09] i have 2 pc in lan [15:09] ok thanks ikonia [15:09] mobius420: OK, that should be helpful (link) [15:09] mobius420: thanks [15:09] MangledBody, I am hoping by "purple" you mean "splash" screen [15:09] places > network ? [15:09] dyd, places > network ? [15:10] Phr3d13, i don't see the pc listed [15:10] MangledBody, if the splash screen freezes, and just hangs there then theres a good chance that GPU iwll not work with Linux, I have seen that before [15:10] MangledBody, sadly mine was a drn good strong card too...an older AGP one gig card [15:11] b0ot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/647364/ [15:11] dyd: sshfs is handy for acessing remote box's through a local dir. [15:11] mobius420: Yes, but Ubuntu logo disapeared and there is only purple color, num lock is not reacting... [15:11] dyd: there are other ways also. [15:11] vibhav: have you read and used that guide ? [15:11] dyd, do you mean you need remote desktop access to a linux box? [15:12] ikonia My friend told me this guide [15:12] mobious428: no, i just want to open a hd i have installed in the other ubuntu, and copy some fiels [15:12] vibhav: have you read and used that guide ? [15:12] *files [15:12] ikonia, My friend used that guide [15:12] vibhav: answer the question have YOU read or used that guide [15:12] dyd: In nautilus menu, click file > connect to server [15:12] ikonia me not [15:12] dyd, is the sharing service installed on both computers? [15:12] *honest* [15:13] MangledBody, that card is muxxing the system. It's probably alot easier to just get a different GPU [15:13] Phr3d13, how do i check that? [15:13] nothingspecial: then what do i have to select? SSH? [15:13] MangledBody, you can boot to a lower run level, install the driver I gave in the link and *maybe* it iwll run in low res mode...but there is a reason it's freezing at the splash screen [15:13] nothingspecial: what port shoul i set? [15:13] pskept, I have an audio usb device that can be used for playback and recording but it doesn't show up in audacity in ubuntu but it does in windows... I didn't know if there were some common driver or something i might need for usb audio [15:14] dr_willis: no that didn't launch a terminal [15:14] hmmm [15:14] right click on a folder > sharing options > check the "share this folder" box, if you don't have the sharing service installed it will tell you [15:14] dyd ssh, port will be automatic, don't worry [15:14] mobius420: Now it didn't freezed, but stripes apeared [15:14] MangledBody, kk [15:14] mobius420: Appeared, sorry :) [15:15] dyd, right click on a folder > sharing options > check the "share this folder" box, if you don't have the sharing service installed it will tell you [15:16] mobius420: :( That's sad, don't know what to do... [15:16] daedra: so startx just exits? or does what? [15:17] dr_willis: yes it exits with a small error report [15:17] MangledBody, does your desktop machine which is having the graphics problem using an AGP graphics card or a pci-e... thats an older card so I am assuming it is AGP [15:17] dyd: Make sure you have openssh-server on client [15:17] Phr3d13: ok, i'm installing the package [15:17] daedra: it may want a .xinitrc but i thought 11.04 used .xsession [15:18] Phr3d13: can't i do the same on a entire hd? [15:18] i have an ati radeon 9200, and no unity. "unity_support_test -p" gives the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/647158/, however the card IS capable of gl 1.4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon) [15:18] dyd, not sure, try it and let us know :-) [15:19] MangledBody, here is a photo of an AGP slot if you are not sure http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://gozoonk.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/agp_pci_isa.jpg&imgrefurl=http://gozoonk.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/ide-komputer/&usg=__7kCckf-WjwJ4UjsTvKL-JlHQIjI=&h=420&w=434&sz=48&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=rmCPZvehLR_6uM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=123&ei=T6AlTqKLIZPSiALPvdiBCg&prev=/search%3Fq%3DAGP%2Bpicture%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1280%2 [15:19] 6bih%3D535%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=451&vpy=72&dur=317&hovh=221&hovw=228&tx=122&ty=69&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0 [15:19] oooh sorry [15:19] mobius420: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:19] hello === fairuz is now known as fairuz_ [15:19] hi...i have got a question about nomodeset....can someone tell/point me what this grub switch does? [15:20] mobius420: Didn't have that PC opened yet... I think it's pci-e [15:20] MangledBody, anyway, if its an older AGP card slot type you should be able to find an AGP card at one of your local computer repair shops.... for about ten bucks.... it will not be the strongest graphics in the world but it will allow use of the machine [15:20] !nomodeset [15:20] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [15:20] hi all, anyone know how to type ascii chars, like you do in windows for the euro symbol [15:20] gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg [15:20] MangledBody, if it is in fact PCI-E then your options are looking great [15:20] root_: please stop [15:20] mobius420: really? :D [15:20] ffffffffffffffffffffű [15:20] kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkűűűűűűűűűűűűűű [15:20] ffffffffffffffff [15:20] f [15:20] f [15:20] root_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

One thing I have learned about using linux is that all hardware purchases need to be researched prior to buying, even if it's just a printer or a simple peripheral device.... in the real world that is not always possible but when you can do it it does cut down on the headaches you are having now [15:21] baskak, unity won't work with the default drivers, you need the "Additional Drivers" [15:22] mobius420: OK [15:22] anyone feel like helping me out with an openldap problem? [15:23] MangledBody, if you are in the USA, the almighty wal-mart will have a pci-e card for 19.99 :) [15:23] mobius420: But at Kubu, it took about 5 seconds before stripes appeared :D No I'm Czech :) === oCean_ is now known as oCean [15:24] anyone know how to output ascii chars from the keyboard [15:24] aha! thanks dr_willis [15:24] mobius420: Burning that alternate CD.. [15:24] recon69_lap, what do you mean? [15:24] MangledBody, did you say the graphics card does work in windows environment'? [15:24] yea wow [15:24] mobius420: Yes, it works perfectly [15:24] ascii = char from keyboard [15:24] X) [15:24] like getting the euro symbol if it's not on you keyboard [15:25] oh I see [15:25] recon69_lap, The euro symbol is not part of ascii [15:25] mobius420: I'm forced to use W just because Steam and SketchUp [15:25] extended characters [15:25] MangledBody, and you say there is a full install already on that machine....but we are currently experimenting with live cd's corrency? [15:25] Hey guys if i have a text file with the dump of an http request (exactly, with headers, \r\n, body, etc. ) what is the best way to 'repeat' this request, I am looking at curl, but i don't see how it is done [15:25] corrency=correct :P [15:25] dsnyders, that was just an example, i need other ascii symbols [15:26] just telnet to port 80 and send the file line by line? [15:26] !keyboard [15:26] To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | KDE: System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout | Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html | See also !Shortcuts [15:26] mobius420: de facto, yes [15:26] Ouch thats an old link.. /me fixes === b0ot is now known as DynamicFail [15:27] edbian, you around? [15:27] MangledBody, one has to assume that even if there were a driver required which was not on the live cd, there would at least be a default , low resolution driver that would work enough to obtain the needed driver... [15:28] How do I run a script as some other user? [15:28] MangledBody, the fact that it wont revert down to a more basic low res driver is troubling [15:28] thx dsnyders, might allow me to do what i want, shift key stopped working on keyboard and it's a giant pain [15:28] pskept, I have an audio usb device that can be used for playback and recording but it doesn't show up in audacity in ubuntu but it does in windows... I didn't know if there were some common driver or something i might need for usb audio [15:28] mobius420: Just GUI has a problem, it shows only stripes, should I take a photo? [15:29] seems relevant to me [15:29] Does anyone know of some reasons why my usb audio/playback device doesn't show up in ubuntu... are there any common drivers or anything I could install? [15:29] recon69_lap, you could try popping the cap off the key and seeing if there's dirt lodged in there. [15:29] MangledBody, it is possible that you can obtain the driver from your working machine, put it on a flash drive or removable media, then boot the troubled pc to a terminal and install the driver that way [15:29] dsnyders: no, they all stopped working [15:29] dsnyders: has to be wiring [15:30] mobius420: On my working machine is ATi... I thoght about downloading it to a flash drive... [15:30] if that does not work, then I am afraid you might be out of options.... odd that there IS in fact a linux driver for the device....which tells us that at somepoint it DID work in linux, that does not inherently imply that is still does [15:30] recon69_lap, $5-$10 will get you a new keyboard.

[15:31] dr_willis: I just can't diagnose this problem [15:34] MangledBody, the fact that the behavior is repeating on different kernel loads, different live cd's as well as a full local install ) the problem is driver related [15:34] recon69_lap, I've just been googling "linux alt codes". There might be some help there. [15:34] MangledBody, missing driver [15:34] vk4akp_: Do you have a support question? [15:34] anyone here use DWM?

Pretty common [17:10] pepi_: gin [17:11] pepi_: give details to channel [17:11] Pici, what work's: nautilus claims the folder is shared (indicated by icon on folder symbol); what doesn't work: System > Preferences > Personal file sharing returns "...required packages missing" [17:11] okay, so i'm trying to watch (for example) this video: http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/programmi/media/ContentItem-663f5212-f9b6-4276-934d-e00592825a7a.html#p=0 [17:11] jvgeli, I thought it was considered to be stable?

Stable is Lucid, not that is one stable release [17:12] oh [17:12] Pici, and, funnily enough, when i reloaded the windows shares on the other machine, the shared folder suddenly appeared... and i swear i didn't touch a thing... [17:12] i have moonlight i think [17:12] nicofs: so... its working now? [17:13] yeah, i have moonlight [17:13] moonlight cant do drm. ie. netflix :( [17:13] anyway to get the video out? ;s [17:13] whats drm? [17:13] Pici, yes it is... but i don't understand what i did to achieve that... but that "..required packages missing" still remains... [17:13] copy protection [17:14] nicofs: I'm not sure either. I've not explored the "Personal file sharing" menu, and I don't have a gui Ubuntu system here to test with.

[17:15] Nothing, it works, but I want to use network-manager-openconnect for a vpn, so I need my eth0 connectiont to be configured by network manager instead of /etc/network/interfaces [17:15] on windows and macos, if an application has a bunch of windows open, you can nest them in one icon on the task bar, example: 5 skype im windows show 5 windows on the desktop, and 1 slot on the taskbar [17:15] anything i can do?

[17:22] hlfshell: can the ubuntu box ssh to the vnc server ip? [17:22] yes - i was doing that fine this morning so i can confirm that it cna do that [17:22] Perfect Thanks xangua!! I was clicking in the wrong space! [17:22] BarkingFish, try another CD/burning program? [17:23] hlfshell: as a test try installing tightvnc server on the vncserver box, ssh in, run vncserver, then see if a vnc client can connect [17:23] My chrome browser says preferences couldn't be saved every time it starts.. any solution? [17:23] Northernen: I don't know of any others for KDE, I'll go check our repos, but to the best of my knowledge, k3b is the only one available to us. There's others for gnome, but i haven't got gnome installed [17:23] mounteverest: try chromium-browser instead [17:23] mounteverest, possibly permissions? [17:23] k [17:24] hlfshell: i rarely use the gnome vnc feature. i use stand alone vnc servers like tightvnc, or vnc4server [17:24] and I've wasted 2 dvd+r's on attempting to burn the iso, so I won't try again unless I can be certain it's my fault :) [17:24] xangua, chromium 12.0.742.91 (87961) actually [17:25] BarkingFish: make a bootable flash instead perhaps [17:25] trollboy_, permissions for what? [17:25] BarkingFish: why are you using the dvd? [17:25] mounteverest, for the conf files? [17:25] because I need multilingual support. [17:25] does anyone know how I could download this for offline usage: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Manual [17:26] i think you could install that later.. but you could try burning at the slowest speed the burner can do [17:26] hello erveryone, i googled a lot about my touchepad, on my latptop (ASUS K53T) and i just can' t find a way to enable touchepad option in system > preferences > mouse. My touchPad is recognized as a PS/2 Logitech Wheel mouse. [17:26] The area I work in, I have a couple of friends from other countries who want to learn to use Linux, so I'm teaching them. [17:26] trollboy_, and where would they be? [17:26] eiriksvin: I'd ask the folks in #blender if they had an offline version of it first. [17:26] its okay if it don't have all of it there, but i need as much as I can get [17:26] BarkingFish, seems to be hardware related rather than related to the ISO. Is your computer being heavily used while you burn? [17:26] for me its /home/trollboy/.config/google-chrome [17:26] As long as you have language support for Hindi and Bulgarian, I'm fine :) [17:27] http://redtube.com [17:27] Northernen: No. I don't do anything else while I'm burning [17:27] dr_willis: You think slowing the drive down might help? [17:27] bb thank you all [17:28] BarkingFish some times it does [17:28] the game [17:28] go with 2 or 4x [17:28] BarkingFish, are you drivers up to date? [17:28] BarkingFish: underrun = not getting data from hd fast enough. but most burnerd these daya have underrun protection where it snot an issue [17:29] one mo [17:29] someone at door [17:29] try it and see i guess. [17:29] its the dvd cops [17:29] lol [17:29] Hello [17:29] dr_willis, isn't it the CDs that have underrun protection, not the burners?

[17:32] quick question, i have a cdrom with printer drivers that i need to install to a computer that doesn't ahve a cdrom, i was going to pull the install file from the cdrom and put it on a usb for the computer, but the install file and drivers, etc, are all hidden. is there a way to see these files on the cdrom? control h isn't revealing them and i'm sure this has something to do with them actually being hidden because the company is a [17:32] scp can go from local to remote, or remote to local [17:33] Snarsh: its rare you get a cd with linux printer drivers [17:33] Odd-rationale, you need to run it from the local machine...but it works both ways === administrator is now known as Guest75350 [17:33] you can specify a remote file to "grab" [17:33] this is a windows cd but i'm trying to the pull the drivers while on my ubuntu os because i have a feeling it would be even more work on my windows os [17:33] Snarsh: and ive never seen a way to hide files on a cd like you mention [17:33] Snarsh: Are you sure they are "hidden". Maybe you're just not looking in the right place. [17:33] sorry about that [17:33] I seem to remember Googling around for something related to this. But is there no way for automount to work in a remote user X session (e.g. from an NX session)? I get unauthorized when trying to automount an external HD [17:34] Snarsh: what is the printer the drivers may be in the repos [17:34] guys, in a recovery effort on my machine, I accidentally installed the 32-bit version but wanted the 64-bit version. is there any way to upgrade a 32-bit to a 64-bit? If not, is there a way to capture all packages installed so I can re-install them automatically? I've spent a good bit of effort restoring my environment before I caught the mistake [17:34] when i insert the CD, /media/CD is automatically mounted and all that is in the cd is a PDF about the printer installation, nothing else on the CD [17:34] Right, i think the best way to go is to see also if my drive has underrun protection, and whether it's something I can enable if it has [17:34] !clone | jbwiv [17:34] jbwiv: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [17:34] trollboy_, changed permissions to 777 for ~/.config/Local State and ~/.config/Default/Preferences.. and it worked! thanks.. [17:34] Sorry [17:34] in the mean time, I'll try again with a slower burn and see how I get on. If I have anymore probs, I'll get back to you :) [17:35] Thanks for the advice guys, catch you later. === jeremy is now known as Guest68460 [17:35] dr_willis, ok, thanks [17:35] the printer is lexmark 5300, i actually need the abbyreader 6.0 that comes on the cd as well because we are using the printer to scan documents [17:35] jbwiv: but your installed packages are for 32bits [17:35] \leave [17:36] Snarsh: scanning is handled by sane on linux. not any printer drivers [17:36] exutux, but they aren't named that way based on the clone instructions above, so I should be good [17:36] !sane | Snarsh [17:36] Snarsh: Scanning software: Simple-Scan (GNOME), Xsane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE).

[17:40] hello [17:40] there is some firewall service/configs i think also [17:41] !firewall [17:41] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.

I've found threads on the forums, but they don't have a solution. Has anyone gotten wireless working well on a Lenovo T420?

[18:04] well, the files are downloading, but where is the temp location they are going to before they go to my desktop [18:05] eiriksvin, I might be wrong but I don't think wget uses any temporary folder; if it does, I'd guess it's probably /tmp [18:06] when i clik on some folder..a window apper written "No application is registered as handling this file [18:06] can anyone using gnome shell share some screenshots of desktop [18:06] on every folde [18:06] looking [18:06] Does canonical host a repository for ancient ubuntu releases somewhere?

[18:39] [18:39] though I lose out on some jobs because of the lack of experience [18:39] razekinn: sed: -e expression #1, char 22: unterminated `s' command [18:39] #echo "98.108.45.26 rd.dev" >> /etc/hosts [18:39] hey all. im having issues with my sound. firefox audio and banshee seem to play ok. but sudden sounds like from xchat or pidgin arent playing [18:39] glebihan: I gonna and google more and be back in few minutes,I'll ping you again to see if some thing found or not, if there is no problem :) [18:40] nyuszika7h: my bot is with problems [18:40] razekinn: what do you mean? [18:40] how can i tell what audio driver my system is using? [18:41] nyuszika7h: my sed bot forgot to put the last "/" lol [18:41] lol [18:42] nkh, have you tried installing any package that is supposed to be in ta [18:42] CoolCoder: did you get? [18:42] nkh, *that repo ? [18:42] razekinn: i have added sudo but still it says permission denied [18:42] nope [18:42] CoolCoder: do you have root access? [18:42] CoolCoder, I should have mentioned in the runbox you need permissions to edit , alt+f2 , so type, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [18:42] yes [18:43] CoolCoder: type "su" and the password [18:43] then type that line [18:43] glebihan: mmmm no ... good idea to try, lets find some package in there and try :-? [18:43] razekinn: Ubuntu does not have root enabled by default. [18:43] nkh, I would start by that, you'll know if there's a problem at all [18:43] sudo bash works to get root [18:43] Pici: he told us that he has root access... [18:44] extraclassic: yes, but that's not running as a login shell. The root account is disabled in Ubuntu by default. [18:44] dr_willis: ok, I got the iso burned, slowing the drive down worked a treat. It took 15 minutes to burn, but I got it. The next thing I need to do is sort out a couple of things to make sure this is going to be right for me. [18:44] does su still work, I don't remember [18:44] yup [18:45] anyone know about the ubuntu sound system? [18:45] mrsomoasun: it doesn't work in Ubuntu, since the root account is disabled by default. [18:45] BluesKaj: ok got it. and can add the line 98.108.45.26 rd.dev on to the file? [18:45] okay, I get it, I'm slow sometimes :) [18:45] razekinn: still it says permission denied!1 [18:45] ohmy [18:45] now i am on gedit [18:45] yes , CoolCoder [18:45] I think it would be helpful if just one person were helping CoolCoder. [18:46] wait wait - sudo su works actually - just tried it [18:46] No need for everyone to jump on and suggest different ways of doing the same thing. [18:46] * BluesKaj backs off [18:46] Pici: ok, i left [18:46] If you don't mind helping a newb for a bit, i've a couple of questions. 1: do you have ndiswrapper available on ubuntu, since I need it for my usb wifi stick? 2: do you have a GUI for configuring wifi? [18:46] mrsomoasun: sudo su does work, but you should understand what doing that does. It may not set the environment variables the same as doing sudo -i or sudo -s === Autie_ is now known as Autie [18:47] those are the most important for me, since I don't have a wired connection, i'm wifi only [18:47] okay, thanks for clarification [18:47] BarkingFish, network-manager (gnome), or wicd [18:47] oh, and 3 - do you have kde available? [18:47] i love you all [18:47] CoolCoder: Did you get everything sorted, or do you still need assistance? [18:48] BarkingFish, you can ask in #kubuntu in that case [18:48] ok BluesKaj - thanks [18:48] hey guys [18:49] how do I uninstall debs installed by using 'sudo dpkg -i name.deb' [18:49] or maybe you could use sudo apt-get remove [18:49] sudo dpkg -r name.deb [18:49] NielsMkn: dpkg -r name [18:50] razekinn: added that line. but still it says Forbidden. please check the pastebin http://pastebin.com/L5HNhmu2 12th l;ine is what i have added [18:50] ah thanks :) [18:50] and for sudo apt-get install, I should use remove or autoremove? [18:50] Nielsen, remove [18:51] so, it's sudo apt-get remove 'package name' [18:51] Why does "apply permissions to enclosed files" STILL not work after all these years? [18:51] ciao [18:51] Nielsen, you can use --purge to completely remove [18:51] less the quotes of course [18:51] oh [18:51] but remove is better since purge may break some dependencies right? [18:51] Nielsen, no [18:51] so purge is fine? [18:51] Nielsen, pure just removes extra files and settings [18:51] On Ubuntu 10.0.4, I get scim bridge client ioexception error messages on the terminal, it seems it is a known problem An IOException occurred at scim_bridge_client_imcontext_set_cursor_location , anyone knows the fix [18:52] Nielsen, in normal case only use remove [18:52] you could do the remove thing and then sudo apt-get autoremove to clean up without damage - i think [18:52] Abhijit: lol he's NielsMkn not Nielsen [18:52] yeah mrsomoasun I used to use that method till now [18:52] CoolCoder: its correct [18:53] so the problem may be with server(website server may need to approve my id. correct? [18:53] CoolCoder: yes [18:53] as a side not - i really like the ppa-purge package from the webupd8 source too [18:53] *note [18:54] glebihan: I'm back, yes the problem exists, I tried installing cgal which is in that repo, but it said package not found [18:54] even if you use remove, purge, and autoremove you'll still see residual config show up in synaptic [18:54] sudo dpkg -r adlmflexnetclient_4.0.35-1_amd64.deb [18:54] dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in [18:54] I am getting that error message :o [18:54] razekinn1: thanks :-) [18:55] NielsMkn: package name not *.deb [18:55] ah [18:55] NielsMkn: like I said. You need to specify the package name, not the package filename. [18:55] erm but I don't know the package name :o [18:55] NielsMkn: sure you do. [18:55] looking in the software center to find it works sometimes - simple i know [18:56] NielsMkn: normally its just what comes before the version number on the deb file. So adlmflexnetclient in this case. [18:56] pici is it just the file name? [18:56] CoolCoder: type that ip address in your browser to check if it is the problem [18:56] oh [18:56] oh, nevermind [18:56] guess it does work [18:56] just gotta own the folder in question first [18:56] thanks pici :D [18:57] !!!FREENODERS GONE WILD!!!

[18:57] glebihan: remember this is not a cd it is extracted [18:57] nvmind that is not helping anyway [18:57] glebihan: it is like this : [18:58] nkh, anyway why did you want to use repos from this CD ? Aren't those packages available somewhere else ? [18:58] nkh, yes I have that in mind [18:58] glebihan: disk1/ > dists & pool , .... [18:58] I'm never going to try to install rpm nasties in ubuntu ever again :/ [18:58] yeah, no - doesn't seem to be a good thing :) [18:59] glebihan: the problem is I suddenly removed most of what was installed :-" and i have no internet traffic to download all missed :| [19:00] nkh, oh ok [19:00] does someone here have experience with xchat? Can you tell me the way i could automatically type the nickname of a channel user using a few clicks (like in "razekinn1:") ? [19:00] !tab | razekinn1 [19:00] razekinn1: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:00] how do i get a list of running daemons [19:00] did I just post all the names from r? [19:01] NielsMkn: no [19:01] nkh, are there files named "Packages.bz2" in the repo ? [19:01] fission6 man ls [19:01] what? [19:01] cool, razekinn1 type a first few alphabets and then press tab [19:01] nightrid3r: I don't think thats what fission6 is looking for. [19:01] fission6, a daemon is just a normal program, use ps [19:01] nkh, they should be in dists/lucid/main/binary-?/ [19:01] around two to three [19:01] its hard to find dameon processes in one shot [19:01] glebihan: Yes they exist [19:01] alright, i'm out (caused enough damage :) ubuntu ftw! [19:01] i have to weed through using ps [19:02] Nielsen, ubottu , Pici: first test thanks [19:02] nkh, are there also "Packages" and "Packages.gz" files ? [19:02] is there a way to show all running "services" [19:02] :o [19:02] glebihan: Mm Yes they are Packages.gz [19:03] hi friends, i am using mobile broadband, ZTE modem... system is detecting it as a modem ... how can i mount it and view files inside it? [19:03] where can I find scripts running backups? [19:03] glebihan: I looked now, There is only Packages.gz!! no bz2 :-?? [19:04] damn my entire unity bar became empty :O [19:04] how can i reset everything unity/gnome releated to default? [19:05] im using the same home folder for quite some times...maybe 2-5 years...and its been across several different distros and i think something is wrong [19:05] fission6, System menu > Administration > System Monitor [19:06] glebihan: What Should it be to work right? bz2 ? you mean that this .gz should be converted ? [19:06] DeviceZer0Try switching into terminal (Alt + F1) and running the following command: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [19:06] nkh, yes I think there should be bz2 files [19:07] thank you razekinn1 let me try [19:07] Galvatron: is better that you use mv for rename old dir that Galvatron said, instead of rm [19:07] DeviceZer0: ^ [19:07] Is there any HTML editor like Dreamweaver for ununtu (linux) [19:07] Can someone show me how to create a script that opens a new Libre Office Writer document and writes a name [19:07] Galvatron, ok thanks. and yea. ill move them incase i need things from them(like my keyring) [19:07] thanks :) [19:07] glebihan: Hmmm nice guide ... I'll google it to see what's the way ... [19:07] glebihan: Thanks a lot, dude [19:08] g2bl33t, elaborate? [19:08] nkh, you're welcome, hope you'll get to make it work [19:08] glebihan: hope that, Thanks again :) bye now to see what happens [19:08] hi === nkh is now known as nkh|away [19:10] g2bl33t: try: echo name > test.odt; libreoffice ./test.odt [19:10] !away > nkh|away [19:10] Hi guys. I've just installed a ubuntu 11.04 VPS from my hosting's templates. However, it seems to be missing APT! Is there any way I can install APT or should I just give them a call and tell them to cut the ****? [19:10] nkh|away, please see my private message [19:10] g2bl33t, please do not pm without asking first === nkh|away is now known as nkh [19:11] SimpleAnecdote: Call them. [19:11] nkh: please don't away like that [19:11] is ubunto more cpu intensive then other distros? [19:11] ActionParsnip: yes sorry, Just was a bad habit :| [19:12] haryv: depends on desktop and window manager [19:12] nkh: np :) [19:12] hi there, [19:12] I want to install zoneminder and asterisk on it. Zone minder would call me or text me if there was some one walking in our driveway. [19:12] err asterisk could call me cell [19:12] Pici: That's what I thought - cheers [19:12] haryv, if you want it lite, try lubuntu [19:13] I got a script running a backup and need to change it from hourly to daily, how to I do that [19:13] dli thanks [19:13] martin_tsc: How is it running? via a cronjob? [19:13] martin_tsc: do you have a desktop OS or is it server? [19:13] It will be running mysql [19:13] ActionParsnip: Sorry So wha should I do to not to be away anymore? :-/ [19:13] nkh: just go, you don't need to type anthing [19:13] martin_tsc, I run rsnapshot at hourly base for backup [19:14] ActionParsnip: :D you are right ;) Thanks [19:14] martin_tsc: if you use a desktop you can use gnome-schedule to manage cron, if it is cron'd as root then run: gksudo gnome-schedule [19:14] ActionParsnip, its on a server, but I have it on my desktop via ssh [19:15] dli, for the DB I have that, but want to change it for the source files (not sure y we have that in the 1st place) [19:15] How do I change the defult browser? [19:16] can someone tell me if official isos are updated over time? or, is the one I download today the same as the one when Natty was released? [19:17] jbwiv: they aren't. The LTS releases do recieve up to 4 point releases though, I think 10.04.3 is being released soon. [19:18] martin_tsc: then you'll need to run: crontab -e or: sudo crontab -e (if you cron as root) [19:18] !cron | martin_tsc [19:18] martin_tsc: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [19:18] Pici, ok, thanks === RKyle_ is now known as RKyle [19:23] Hello? [19:24] Yes? [19:24] !ops HELP [19:25] robodik: yes? [19:25] Pici: I need a blowjob now, give me one [19:25] !alertops [19:25] How do I activate the "love handles" resizing plugin? I've heard that it's activated w/ a 3-finger tap to the touchpad, but that doesn't seem to be working for me. Also, is it possible to remap it's activation to a keypress? [19:26] fail [19:29] can someone look at a backup script of mine? It's in PHP and im clueless [19:30] martin_tsc, pastebin it, I'll have a look [19:31] I think I thrashed my server. I screwed up the pam.d common-auth file and cant sudo anymore to fix it. Is there a way to fix that. [19:32] martin_tsc, use pastebin [19:32] !paste | martin_tsc [19:32] martin_tsc: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [19:32] ndberry: boot to live CD and fix the file [19:32] alright [19:33] glebihan, http://pastebin.com/ciQZpcJW [19:34] martin_tsc, this is not PHP, it's BASH [19:34] glebihan,.......i feel so smart right now [19:35] glebihan, i need to change it from hourly backups to daily [19:38] martin_tsc: put it on crontab [19:38] Why is it dual screen on ubuntu .. it treats the screens almost like separate X windows. With the message status menu on both screen? [19:38] martin_tsc: @hourly /path/script.sh [19:39] martin_tsc, I don't think you can change from that script, you must have some kind of cron job launching that script [19:39] Hi. I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 using Wubi on a partition next to Windows on my laptop, I want to rid the Windows and other partitions so that only Ubuntu exists, I don't wish to save any files on the other partitions. Am I able to do this? [19:40] Spikestuff, yes [19:40] but what if you need MS Office :P [19:40] Linux or Windoze. The chose is tuff. :p [19:40] Spikestuff, you can do a dual boot [19:41] shrink your windows partition [19:41] Spikestuff: if you don't need to save any of the files and want only ubuntu then just boot the install CD and wipe the partitions. This will destroy all data (so ensure all the data you do want is backed up) [19:42] Spikestuff: or do you just want a true install alongside windows? [19:42] Well I can't boot from an install CD because this laptop was given to me and the previous owner does not remember the BIOS password, so I can't change the boot priority to boot from CD. I have tried to simply insert a CD/DVD with the Ubuntu ISO file on it and let the computer boot up, but it just goes to the Boot Manager and lets me choose between Windows and Ubuntu. [19:42] I just want a true install, no Windows. [19:42] That's why I used Wubi, to circumvent the BIOS. :( [19:42] I am just wondering if I can wipe everything through the Ubuntu partition and just leave Ubuntu. [19:43] Spikestuff: there will be a button to press to enable you to select the boot media [19:43] Spikestuff, can you get grub2 on hard drive? you can boot cd with grub [19:43] Spikestuff: maybe using F8 or someonelse at boot you can [19:43] Spikestuff: if you used wubi, there is no ubuntu partition, it is a file in your NTFS partition [19:44] Spikestuff, is the laptop a thinkpad? [19:44] It's an Acer. [19:44] Just upgraded to 11.04.. I need sudo right w/o password, for which I used NOPASS in /etc/sudoers, but right now it shows commentary that all modifications should be made in /etc/sudoers.d.. Can I create a file in there that says no password for %admin ? [19:45] !sudoers [19:45] Phoenixz: yes. [19:45] !sudo [19:45] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [19:45] spike, i had the same problem, turned out my cd somehow was screwed up, it loaded as ubuntu, yet wasnt bootable, [19:45] Spikestuff, because thinkpad has encryption chip on mobo, no way to recover passwd [19:45] Ah. [19:45] Spikestuff, can you get grub? [19:45] Phoenixz: i wouldn't recommend doing it though, it drastically reduces system security [19:46] dli: even if you remove the BIOS battery and detatch the power/ [19:46] I believe so, isn't grub already installed once you use Wubi? [19:46] There is a screen that prompts me to choose between my partitions. [19:46] Thought that was grub. [19:47] ActionParsnip, yes, the passwd is encrypted in mobo chip, on flash or something, IBM will change the mobo for you, if you forget passwd [19:47] dli: yikes [19:47] dli: For that are you looking for? http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd [19:47] ActionParsnip: For that are you looking for? http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd [19:48] wechat: wow glad I don't own one of those [19:49] Spikestuff, if you don't want to dig much with grub, try a boot manager like this: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagerdl.html [19:49] ActionParsnip: OK [19:49] Hey guys, im running into tho NAK bailout regression bug in the current ubuntu kernel and the console spam is making working with it difficult and annoying. Is it possible to prevent these messages from appearing? [19:49] Spikestuff, basically, you add plpbt.bin to grub, then, select it from grub when booting, and plpbt.bin will run as boot manager, and allows you to boot from USB/CD-ROM, etc. [19:49] So unzipping that on my Windows installation and then telling it to read a CD/DVD first, then rebooting, will have the laptop read the ISO file? [19:50] Ah, thanks a lot dli! [19:50] I've been searching for a few days for some kind of boot manager to circumvent the BIOS boot manager. :p [19:51] Spikestuff, grub2 can do it all :( like booting from USB, even if your BIOS doesn't support USB booting [19:51] From my Windows installation, where is grub located? [19:51] Just curious on where to place the bin file. [19:51] Hey everyone, I am new to Linux/Ubuntu and I just wondered if someone could help me with setting up my Google Plus-chat with Empathy? [19:51] Spikestuff, can you open the laptop up and remove the bios ram? [19:52] #ubuntu Hey guys, im running into tho NAK bailout regression bug in the current ubuntu kernel and the console spam is making working with it difficult and annoying. Is it possible to prevent these messages from appearing? [19:52] tertl3, Whaat [19:52] I could tert13, but removing the CMOS battery would be my last option. :p === xindz is now known as xindzz`off [19:52] Why would he have to do that [19:52] ParkerR: removing the CMOS battery clears the BIOS password [19:52] Oh [19:52] Thus I can easily access the boot manager then. [19:52] Spikestuff: you can put it in /boot but the file will need referencing in grub2 [19:52] I didnt see you had a password on it [19:52] And sometimes it does not [19:53] Pettern: just set up a normal gtalk account [19:53] They store it in EEPROM sometimes [19:53] hey ! [19:53] eae joazinho [19:53] In laptops they do, yeah. :( [19:53] Which is a PITA to reset [19:53] aawww spideystuff and parker. thats cute [19:53] salvee anonimooo [19:53] oh wait. says Spikestuff nvm [19:53] AcidRain, ?? [19:53] nothing :) [19:53] Hey root_ [19:53] What's your problem guy? [19:54] what is that ps like command that show only the PID of the process?

[21:49] I'm basically checking to make sure a bunch of files all have a specific header text. [21:49] <[snake]> I got it. thanks. [21:50] nb72: `ls -la | grep -v i_do_not_vant_this` [21:50] DrGrov, it looks safe to copy all lines together and paste in terminal [21:50] dli: So no need to alter it anything?

Could you read it or not? [22:14] i need help with the timing on a ks0108b controller during a read operation [22:15] I dislike mint, always had problems with it. mind you, it's been a few years since I've tried it. [22:15] btw, if it helps any, I have Natty [22:15] Martin[2]: it's not that bad, but it has its flaws. [22:15] or is it Nutty... [22:15] KM0201, I might give it another go then :3 [22:15] its prob a little better now but it still rides off ubuntu which rides off debian [22:16] Martinp23: compared to Unity/Ubuntu... it's pretty dang good.. personally, I'd just try one of the other *buntus, than use Mint. [22:16] its going to go straight debian in the next kde release [22:16] did anyone see today the toaster that runs on ubuntu? [22:16] where was I? [22:16] HackerII: where did you hear that?...

[22:17] KM0201, like xubuntu? [22:17] but for linux it says it relies on the sdl development library [22:17] idk [22:17] or Lubuntu (my choice) [22:17] Do I have to create a new foldur in my Wine folder? [22:18] I'm looking at multitail ATM, if I can find the switch with which it just "stupidly" writes to stdout instead of prettyprinting, I'm set. [22:18] i check the packages i have on synaptic, and it says i have the dummy package. what does that mean? [22:18] Martin[2]: do you like "small and simple".. or do you like all the pomp and circumstance? [22:18] How do I know if a PGP encrypted message is signed or not? [22:18] Janine: the message that you got, was that an email or a message in a website's system? Could you read it or not? [22:18] KM0201, I like an OS which is fast and simple, so yes. [22:18] it was a message in a website message system and I can read it [22:19] Martin[2]: then you'll probably realyly like Lubuntu, check it out. [22:19] alsuna: it was a message in a web site and I can read it [22:19] Janine: in that case it was not encrypted [22:19] it was encrypted. I had to use my password [22:19] alsuna: [22:19] alsuna: I had to use my password [22:19] Um....on a higher note, is there any possible way someone can help me with my sound as well? [22:19] Hi all. I think there are a lot who using Conky. When I start it, it disappears after clicking on its window. It maybe a default behaviour. But I can see it in the processes even it disappears. Is there any shortcut to see it as I want. Like toggling. Sorry for this silly question by the way :) [22:19] KM0201, yar, I'll have a look. I am using UNR just now. it's not too bad, I think it could be faster. [22:19] UNE* [22:20] Janine: mind telling me which website that is? [22:20] Martin[2]: lxde blows the doors off of UNE [22:20] ^_^" anyone? [22:20] is there a repo for kooka [22:20] Martin[2]: and if you like the "control panel OS"... Lubuntu has a GUI for that as well, that is very small. [22:20] KM0201, couldn't I just install lxde :P [22:21] jen:why do you need to create a folder in the wine folder? [22:21] you could.. but then you're still stuck w/ all the ubuntu bloat. [22:21] jen: whats the prob [22:21] alsuna: I dont remember the name, but its a market and he sent a message to me that was complete jibberish so I used: PGP in the terminal and I had to enter my key [22:21] I have no idea, I dont quite know what I am doing, the popup says jen: cd ~/$USER/.wine [22:21] Thank you and good night. [22:21] Any Conky user here ?

Copy and Paste? [22:22] jen: "winecfg" [22:22] yes? [22:22] what about it? [22:22] OerHeks: Sure ? It is nof flicker problem. [22:22] KM0201, yeah, lxde isn't too bad. it looks quite nice [22:22] alsuna: Yea, I used copy/paste [22:22] huh, never used lxde, whats the comparison [22:23] Janine: ok, i get it now [22:23] OerHeks: I want to make it appearing again as I use the shortcut. [22:23] I know I need to fix it from terminal, but what do I do to fix it? (Im very simple minded) [22:23] HackerII, to that aweful environment you get with UNE [22:23] jen: run that command and you should be prompted for all that info [22:23] If anybody is interested I have a solution to my problem, find all files that don't contain specific text. [22:23] OerHeks: Like toggling. [22:23] o [22:23] Martin[2]: help in #lubuntu if you need it [22:24] ok I get a grey thing that looks like it was from windows 98 [22:24] alsuna: How do I reply him?

[22:24] find was part of it. [22:24] OerHeks: Since it is not the problem that I mena. [22:24] I mean.. [22:24] lol [22:24] Im thinking I need some kind of folder for something if it says 'empty string' [22:24] jen: it will ask what audio you want to use, what version of windows you want to emulate [22:25] Janine: use gpg --encrypt to encrypt your reply, then Copy & Paste back to him [22:25] ran find to get the list of all the files I was interested in "find dir -name *.blah > all.txt" [22:25] OerHeks: Basicly, I don't want to see it always. I just want to see when I want, with a shortcut. [22:25] well there is no audio driver in the registry it says, (I am having audio problems too if that makes a difference) [22:25] then I had to use grep and awk === Alternative is now known as Guest48802 [22:25] and I am using win XP from it [22:26] is there a way to show my screen on here?

Shouldnt his ID be in the message? [23:06] Northernen: shouldnt his key be in the message? [23:06] after i gone with restoring my grub steps , now every time i try to restart my computer it gives me grub> sign [23:06] ok so whever came up was 08:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [23:06] Janine: key -- a file with key none? [23:06] jen_, thats not the sound card. [23:06] but that is definetly not my soundcard [23:06] wait! [23:06] jen_, paste.ubuntu.com the output of lspci (NOT in the channel) [23:07] wechat: what do you mean? I dont understand [23:07] @-@ I found it! [23:07] ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 [23:07] jen_: That's a video card [23:07] after i gone with restoring my grub steps , now every time i try to restart my computer it gives me grub> sign [23:07] T_T [23:07] jen_, the entire output to pastebin, please. [23:07] Noor_egy: That means that you mounted the wrong partition when you were following the instructions. [23:07] ok [23:07] hmm so [23:08] Noor_egy: Can you stay connected here (with another machine) while being booted to the grub prompt? [23:08] gahhh shoot [23:08] no [23:08] :( [23:08] thats the only machine [23:08] Janine: Probably U need to get a key from a sender and add it to email client [23:09] Noor_egy: What parittion did you mount to /mnt ? [23:09] wechat: I though so. So he left me with no possibility to respond encrypted until I get the key from him? [23:09] i dont remember it was before i reboot [23:09] ok I pasted it to paste.ubuntu.com [23:09] Janine, have you checked if his/her key is in the key servers? [23:09] I found the soundcard!! [23:09] jen_: Give us the link. [23:09] jen_: It's a miracle [23:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/647705/ [23:10] Janine, if it's not. You will have to manually receive his message. [23:10] lol miracle [23:10] I may lift and fly! [23:10] Northernen: I tried to search for his nick in the market, but with no luck. How do I manually receive his message? [23:11] Janine, e-mail him and ask for it. [23:11] so...how do I get natty to recognize my soundcard? [23:11] , how could i solve that [23:11] Jordan_U_ [23:11] Noor_egy: Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot if you make the same mistake with this guide it will give you an error message rather than allowing you to continue with a broken install. [23:11] Northernen: Ok. Thanks. Why doesnt his ID show up in the message? Is it supposed to? [23:12] hey i'm having problems booting ubuntu from a usb flash drive... is it just that some flash drives don't support this?? [23:12] i feel as if i've finished the internet trying to find the answer [23:12] Janine: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/14/privacy-and-encryption-with-pgp-signing-and-encrypting-email-files/ [23:13] wechat: thanks [23:13] jen_: have u alsa installed? [23:13] Janine, well, to be able to encrypt his message to you he only needs your public key. Would probably be nice to have his public key sent automatically, but I don't think it's 'supposed' to by default. I believe that's why the key servers are there. [23:14] whats that mean? I dont know how to do that at the moment, Im a noobie [23:14] Hi, I was recently making an Ubuntu live USB disk, and I had to cancel half way through the program doing its thing (startup disk creator). Now I have an additional "disk" on my system that I cannot unmount. Somebody told me to type "dmsg | tail" in terminal and paste the result in a pastebin and put it here http://pastebin.com/C6kL7U1m [23:14] anyone have any idea what happened/what [23:14] s wrong? [23:14] omg help!! i got compiz and stuff, but now the bar on the top for moving the window closing it and minimizing it, how do i get this back??????????????????????? [23:14] jen: dpkg -l | grep alsa [23:14] how do I reinstal azalia? [23:14] LinuxMan: metacity --replace& [23:14] LinuxMan: I've seen that before. Don't worry [23:14] what do i do? [23:15] o.o I remembered something [23:15] LinuxMan: Do you have ccsm installed? [23:15] no i couldn't get it installed [23:15] Northernen: thanks. === wazzup is now known as wiigy [23:15] matt08642: I think it keeps 'disc' in case you plug the usb drive back in. What happens if you plug it back in again? is 'disk' mounted again? === wiigy is now known as wiiguy [23:15] jen_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [23:15] I installed some random thing like Qjack and a realtec pop up popped up, I clicked something and...I think thats why I have been ramming my head against walls trying to fix this [23:15] LinuxMan: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:16] LinuxMan: Did metacity --replace& bring the window decorations back?? [23:16] edbian, the "disk" is always there, whether the USB drive is in or not. I formatted the drive incase it was some sort of temp file on there, and it's still showing up [23:16] ok lemme work on it for a few [23:17] do I have to root first? [23:17] matt08642: If you plug the drive in and mount it is 'disk' used or is another drive showing up for it? [23:17] jen_: Realtek ? [23:17] I think so @-@ [23:17] can anyone recomment an app to edit the ocr layer of a pdf and make text searchable? [23:17] edbian, it's showing up as it's own drive with full capacity and all. [23:17] matt08642: I am fairly sure if you restart it will go away. [23:18] matt08642: Did you unmount before removing the drive?? [23:18] ok so I tried [23:18] jen_: pastebin ` tail -50 /var/log/dpkg.log` [23:18] sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [23:18] edbian, restart hasnt seemed to help, and no, When the boot disk creator was done cancelling, I just took the drive out (probably a bad move) [23:18] and got, hold on let me paste it in bin [23:19] still dont have the bar.. [23:19] matt08642: That's probably what made the disk icon get stuck. A reboot didn't help? This 'disc' is in 'computer' right? [23:19] LinuxMan: metacity --replace did what? [23:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/647712/ [23:19] LinuxMan: compiz --replace& is another one you might wanna try === xindzz`off is now known as xindz [23:20] that didn't do anything but freeze the whole thing [23:20] it froze my computer [23:20] edbian, yeah. Here's a screenshot of what happens when I try to eject it: http://i.imgur.com/eqZFA.png [23:20] jen_: Have u done it? /etc/init.d/alsa restart [23:21] sudo ... [23:21] umm I beleive so [23:21] omg D: [23:21] anyone here that have tried smuxi? im stuck in full screen mode :S [23:21] jen_: have u alsamixer command [23:21] matt08642: Can you pastebin dmesg | tail [23:21] what alsamixer command? [23:21] jen_: y [23:21] matt08642: Does the usb drive look ok ? [23:22] what is the alsamixer command [23:22] LinuxMan: Please answer my questions instead of just saying omg [23:22] LinuxMan: It's ok, just restart [23:22] LinuxMan: and use my name when you're talking to me :) [23:22] no, it did not fix it, edbian [23:23] edbian, yeah the drive is working totally fine now. here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/6WwKgX4z [23:23] I dont know what you are talking about [23:23] matt08642: loop for usb??? [23:23] im trying to install my soundcard azalia [23:23] LinuxMan: just restart :) [23:23] jen_: it is alsamixer [23:23] maybe its on google... [23:23] edbian, i'll try thanks :D [23:23] matt08642: When you plug it in do you have two drives called Ubuntu i386 11.04 or whatev ? [23:23] jen_: follow howto [23:23] LinuxMan: sure. Why didn't ccsm install?? [23:23] cannot open mixer [23:24] the archiv manager fails when trying to unpack a file which name includes a special char which cannot be displayed (ä shown like unknown utf-8 char or something like that). It fails with "no files to extract". Archiv is rar .. other rar archives causes no problems. What do? [23:24] Im trying to follow the how to [23:24] jen_: sudo alsamixer [23:24] jen_: again https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [23:24] edbian, nope, when I plug in my USB drive, I see "2.1GB File system" which is normal, and the Ubuntu i386 11.04 thing [23:24] cannot open mixer [23:24] ok [23:24] yes I am on that site [23:25] matt08642: can I see sudo mount ? (with the usb drive unplugged) ? [23:25] jen_: maybe uninstall jackd? [23:25] edbian, what would the command be to do that?? [23:25] matt08642: sudo mount :) [23:25] matt08642: cat /proc/mounts [23:25] hey it's LinuxMan [23:26] matt08642: mine i easier :) [23:26] Hey all - I'm using ubuntu 11.04 with unity -- is there a way to make the date & time have a space either side The gnome version does and it makes it *much* easier to scan to see the date and time. [23:26] compizmakesmesad: hi. [23:26] do you thnk i could go into a diffrent desktop environment uninstall gnome and then re install it to get the bars back? [23:26] compizmakesmesad: log out, click your name, change the sessions to ubuntu classic (no effects), log in. [23:27] compizmakesmesad: tell me when you're there. Remember to use my name! [23:27] edbian, thanks brb :D [23:27] compizmakesmesad: sure [23:27] matt08642: you there? [23:27] edbian, I am quite new to this, but there is no drive name for the ubuntu disk thing (sda, sdb, etc), how would I mount it now? [23:27] i'm running lucid 10.04 and am trying to install a version of a package from natty using pinning. i get an error when i try to install the package. please see the paste of the apt sources, apt preferences, and the install error: [23:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/647715/ [23:28] matt08642: just run 'sudo mount' that is the entire command. You don't have to mount anything. sudo mount tells you what is mounted. [23:28] edbian, im in classic no effects [23:28] oh ok [23:28] LinuxMan: Do you have bars? [23:28] matt08642, run 'blkid'. [23:28] edbian yes its so nice! [23:28] Hey everyone. I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my ThinkPad X220 right now an I love it. The only problem is that most of the time I search with the unity search feature it gets extremely laggy. any idea what it might be? I'm running 64bit and I've reinstalled a couple of times to no avail. [23:28] LinuxMan: The proper name is 'window decorations' [23:28] LinuxMan: sure, install ccsm [23:28] no puedo conectarme a internet con 11.04, alguien puede ayudarme? [23:29] qjack is uninstalled [23:29] edbian okay [23:29] jaykruer, lose the unity [23:29] edbian, did you want me to pastebin the result of sudo mount?? [23:29] dose any one know why easytether will not connect in 11.04 [23:29] @pappa_bear for what, gnome 3, gnome 2.x? [23:30] matt08642: yes [23:30] jefimenko: make all the numbers different [23:30] edbian, http://pastebin.com/XPyKv9Hw [23:30] edbian, why does it keep making the noise when you push a key on the desktop like backspace [23:30] matt08642: reading... [23:30] LinuxMan: I have no idea what you're even talking about :P [23:31] edbian, push backspace with nothing in the typing bar on xchat, my laptop keeps randomly making that noise [23:31] wechat: the Pin-Priority settings? [23:31] matt08642: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 (see sdb1 there at the bottom? I think that's the fake thing showing up in computer. Unless you have a second hdd or the usb drive is plugged in right now) [23:31] edbian, ccsm is installed [23:31] LinuxMan: Oh, it's saying you can't backspace anymore fool [23:31] LinuxMan: Go to the window decorations plugin thingy. What does it say in the command line in there? [23:31] edbian, That would be my second HDD :( [23:31] matt08642: oooh [23:31] I don't have a nice splash screen during startup. How do I get that? [23:31] jefimenko: twice 1000 is it good? [23:32] edbian, where? [23:32] LinuxMan: go into ccsm [23:32] matt08642: mmmm [23:32] edbian i am :3 [23:32] edbian, it seems as if this "ubuntu" disk isnt even mounted, its just there [23:32] LinuxMan: go to the window decorations plugin [23:33] wechat: it seems that there's no package available for it in natty-security [23:33] wechat: if i comment out the natty-security entry then it works [23:33] matt08642: It isn't listed in mounnt which is confusing to say the least [23:33] matt08642: What folders do you have in /media ?? [23:33] edbian it wasn't checked, so i checked it. [23:33] wechat: but what if a natty security package is introduced in the future? [23:33] edbian no that noise is just randomly going off, not doing anything D: [23:33] LinuxMan: Well that's probably half the problem. What is on the command line in that plugin ?? [23:33] LinuxMan: ha, it's singing then IDK :P [23:34] edbian /usr/bin/compiz-decorator [23:34] hi, i don't know if this is the right place to ask... I was thinking about tcp and upd and wanted to have a look with wireshark on it. lloking at some *.pls files for network streams, i see that they are http and wireshark shows tcp. audio streams over tcp?! really? ok, let's try youtube... watching a movie results in tcp traffic again... THIS IS MADNESS! how can youtube use tcp for its videos instead of udp?! my last hope was skype, wich u [23:34] sed udp... but i am very confused about the audio streams and youtube using tcp. can anyone explain that? [23:34] brb [23:34] edbian, no folders in /media [23:34] How do I enable a graphical splash screen on startup [23:34] jefimenko: that's mine yesterday pinning prefs http://paste.ubuntu.com/647719/ but i can't make it usefull [23:34] !plymouth [23:34] Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [23:34] LinuxMan: great. Try to log into unity or ubuntu classic (with effects). Now we should have window decorations. [23:34] how do I know what my soundcard drivers name is? [23:34] the name of the soundcard? [23:34] computergeeksjw: see plymouth [23:35] jen_: something like lsmod|grep snd [23:35] jefimenko: aptitude search puppet [23:35] aeonltd: is that a package? [23:35] Benkinooby: udp does not guarantee delivery. Because of this many many services use tcp [23:35] matt08642: gosh this is strange [23:35] edbian, ok thanks lemme check! brb [23:35] !plymouth > computergeeksjw [23:35] LinuxMan: sure [23:35] computergeeksjw, please see my private message [23:36] computergeeksjw: option is grub config file? "ro quit splash" [23:36] edbian, i know, but for video streaming... i mean if one frame goes missing, who cares... but with tcp youtube will get all the tcp overhead Oo [23:36] matt08642: Did you mount the actual ubuntu iso when you made it? [23:36] FATAL Module snd not found [23:36] edbian, also, i thought that audio streams are the perfect example for udp applications [23:36] edbian thank you so much!! [23:36] Benkinooby: you'd think they would use it. I think they're crazy too. There is rdp (realtime) which is even better [23:36] and a bunch of other crap above that [23:36] LinuxMan: sure [23:36] edbian, All I did to make the Ubuntu live USB was use the startup disk creator, so I am not sure :( [23:36] edbian now i don't need compiz, too much of a pain lol [23:37] matt08642: mmmm [23:37] LinuxMan: You'll come around. unity requires it [23:37] edbian one problem i just realized.. :\ [23:37] edbian ooh XD [23:37] LinuxMan: :) [23:37] jen_: hm [23:37] edbian, I also tried re-making the live USB to see if they were temp files or something, but that did nothing [23:37] ubottu: There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth [23:37] can anyone help me from team veiwer? [23:37] does that mean it worked? [23:37] DX I cant stand this [23:37] matt08642: restarting did not remove it? [23:38] edbian, nope [23:38] matt08642: can you click it and open it? [23:38] Benkinooby: Youtube isn't really streaming in the normal sense. You are downloading the .flv file and may or may not start playing the beginning before the end has finished downloading. [23:38] jen_: sudo apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-base alsa-tools [23:38] edbian i can't use the squares to change the desktop now. [23:38] edbian, nope, the error I linked to comes from when I try to click it or open it [23:39] wechat: this works: http://paste.ubuntu.com/647723/ [23:39] LinuxMan: open ccsm, turn on 'view port switcher' I think installing ccsm turned off a bunch of your plugins [23:39] matt08642: Can you right click it? [23:39] Benkinooby: People expect to be able to at the very least, load the page, wait a few minutes, then watch a video from beginning to end without glitches. [23:39] wechat: but i guess that works before there's no puppet package available in natty-security? what if an update is published there [23:39] Jordan_U, that is a good argument [23:40] then hit enter? [23:40] jefimenko: no package? [23:40] edbian, Yeah, when I do the options are "Open" "open in new tab" "open in new window" and "mount". all of them lead to the error message I linked to :( [23:40] Jordan_U, can you also come up with a good explaination for live audio streams using tcp? [23:40] jefimenko: it is in (debian) testing now, i think it must be in Natty [23:40] edbian i turned it on and desktop wall, now i cant move the windows. D: [23:40] matt08642: none of them are unmount? This is with the usb drive disconnected? [23:40] wechat: i'm saying i think it's in natty, but not in natty-security [23:41] and say yes? [23:41] LinuxMan: turn on the 'move' plugin :) [23:41] jefimenko: % [23:41] wechat: so i have to comment out those lines (see pasebin) for natty-security, then it works when i try "apt-get install puppet" [23:41] matt08642: I have to go! :( [23:41] edbian, nope, no unmount option, and the USB is disconnected. Like I said, its as if it's another HDD that hasnt been mounted [23:41] edbian, thats alright, I'll keep looking for solutions! THanks for the help though! [23:41] ok wechat, that command is done [23:41] jefimenko: so make 400 401 500 501 why not? [23:41] matt08642: yes. It appears to be a hdd or usb stick or an iso. Keep asking people! :) [23:41] wechat: but this means that i'm ignoring any security updates for the package that might be published in the future? [23:42] edbian thanks lol.. im sorry im not too good with ubuntu 11.04, more used to 9.04-10.04 [23:42] Benkinooby: No. [23:42] Jordan_U, ok, thank you [23:43] Benkinooby: You're welcome. [23:43] jefimenko: oh yeah u have commented'em [23:43] wechat: it breaks if i uncomment it and set the priorities to 400, 401, 500, 501 [23:44] jefimenko: hm why not to use something like hold in dpkg or aptitude ? [23:44] now what shall I do? [23:45] jefimenko: hardly say for me i never use it. it is in debian "apt-get -t stable install package" but for you ... [23:45] jen_: seems like only recompile ^_^ [23:45] what does that mean ._."" [23:46] Newbie question: I'd like to try using Ubuntu with X and with a window manager, but without Gnome or any other Desktop environment. I searched the web for pages that explain how this might be done but didn't get good matches. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [23:46] Jordan_U, i was reading some about tcp streaming... some places mentioned the unpredictable time delays between the packages... although this would be fixed with rdp... [23:47] Benkinooby: This discussion is probably better for #ubuntu-offtopic. [23:47] jefimenko: "aptitude forbid-version" - this is what u need? [23:47] what does recompile mean...Im scared >.< [23:47] I am trying to install Ubuntu from a USB in expert mode, but it says: cannot find kernel image: expert :( [23:47] jen_: i'm scared too [23:47] lol [23:48] jen_: nobody teamviewed?
