[00:42] natty nar-ferakin-wal [00:43] XD [00:43] DX [00:43] unless she's getting some sort of permission error w/ alsamixer, i fail to see how gksudo is gonna do anything [00:43] wechat: hrm, the solution doesn't work [00:43] RenatoSilva: "dash" [00:43] wechat: hrm, the solution doesn't work [00:43] jen: did you install pulseaudio? [00:43] I have an edger krnel though... [00:44] jen: sudo alsa force-reload [00:44] jen use 'sudo aptitude install alsamixer' in a terminal.... without the ' ' [00:44] Byan: linux-headers? [00:44] RenatoSilva: "hyphen" is the official name for it, but "dash" works fine. "l s space dash l" [00:44] yes I have pulse audio [00:44] KM0201: and unless she doesn't load snd-hda-intel module that card isn't ready [00:44] centux: You're welcome. [00:44] exutux: yes [00:44] Isn't the snd-hda-intel module already loaded? [00:44] exutux: nothing in lsmod [00:44] wechat: what now? [00:44] wechat: so load it [00:45] my butt hurts [00:45] wechat: sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [00:45] jen: tmi [00:45] stand up [00:45] FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found. [00:45] =( [00:45] I moved to couch [00:45] jen: sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [00:46] .. [00:46] ok gotta paste [00:46] Byan: sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic [00:46] wechat: thats what doesn't work.. but I have an edger kernel so.. [00:46] hey folks, real noob question here, but i downloaded the latest version (64bit) and have it running on my desktop. i really dont like the layout or the feel of the gui is there a quick/easy way to revert it back to the older styles? [00:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/647753/ [00:46] thats what I get [00:47] !classic | the[void] [00:47] the[void]: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [00:47] stephenwade: so I can use both and English speakers will understand just fine? Hyphen is more formal than dash, just that? [00:47] Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.39-3-generic" [00:47] Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.39-3-generic" [00:47] who;s talking to who? [00:47] jen: can i make a suggestion here? [00:47] ummm maybe [00:48] RenatoSilva: yes. dash is more common. hyphen is just the official word for that character [00:48] first, are you sure pulse audio is installed... sudo apt-get install pulse-audio [00:48] jen: is there a file /etc/modules [00:48] yes it is installed [00:48] ok. [00:48] open a terminal, and type "gstreamer-properties" [00:48] permission denied [00:48] KM0201: install? maybe uninstall? [00:48] if it tells you you need to install gnome-media, install gnome-media [00:48] how stable are the NTFS drivers, I'm using ubuntu to host a lab file server, I'd prefer to use NTFS so if something goes wrong I could easily mount it on a windows machine but obviously it needs to be very reliable [00:48] jen, start with sudo. [00:48] sudo gstreamer-properties? [00:49] i just updated my packages in 10.04LTS and now my system hangs at the boot screen. any ideas? [00:49] oh [00:49] jen: yes [00:49] jen, yes. [00:49] jen: no, you don't need sudo w/ gstreamer properties [00:49] just gstreamer-properties if it tells you you need gnome-media, install gnome-media [00:49] umm [00:49] clueful, ntfs-3g is the module.. don't use the "ntfs"(separate branch) module [00:49] ? [00:49] clueful, i'd go the other way around tbh, ext3 partitions are more 'rescuable' as they can be mounted by a linux livecd for example [00:49] you should have had a window open up [00:50] wechat: any suggestions? [00:50] Northernen: Thanks for what help you did give. Gotta go now [00:50] stephenwade, sorry it didn't work mate. [00:50] yeah you'd go with ext3 vs ntfs-3g vs fat32? [00:50] Byan: install modules [00:50] oh well. It's not that important anyway [00:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/647756/ [00:50] KM0201, the use of 'sudo' or not is hardly the issue here. Just adds to the confusion. [00:50] chmod 755 /dev/dsp* [00:50] chmod 755 /dev/audio* [00:50] chmod 755 /dev/mixer* [00:50] chmod 777 /dev/snd/* [00:50] hold on you guys!

[00:50] i know [00:50] clueful, also, no need to worry about rescuing.. ext3/2/ext4 is very easily mountable with any bootable linux(cd/dvd) [00:50] Northernen: thats why i said not to use it [00:50] stephenwade: ok thanks! [00:51] i have up multimedia systems selector [00:51] plugin: Autodetect [00:51] jen: thank you... now, ... whats it say for "default output" [00:51] auto detect [00:51] change plugin, to "Pulse Audio Sound Server" [00:51] should it be alsa? [00:51] ok and? [00:51] jen: maybe [00:51] now what? [00:51] jen: and show me /etc/modules [00:51] jen: after you do that, what are your options under Device [00:52] * Byan gonna reboot with standard kernel 1 sec [00:52] close multi? [00:52] clueful, well, i don't know your requirements, but if ntfs isn't essential to other systems on your n/w i can't see 'being rescuable by windows' as a good reason to use it [00:52] jen: what are you roptions under multi? [00:52] jen, is the output volume by chance set to 0? [00:52] Northernen: lol, now that would be a kick int he junk [00:52] etc odules permission denied [00:53] multi? [00:53] .. forget it [00:53] Im sorry I fail T_T [00:53] jen does youtube vid give sound?

[00:55] yagoo: looks good,, its the default [00:55] jen: does it look like your sound is playing, you're just not getting any audio? [00:55] KM0201: he has nothing at lsmod | grep sound [00:55] i bet there's a channel somewhere on mute [00:55] when I did /etc/modules it said no permission [00:55] KM0201: but she doesn't has module loads for card... [00:55] jen: cat /etc/modules [00:55] I think there is too leccy, I may have done that [00:56] now what?

[01:04] KM0201, admittedly things have improved in the past few years, but that whole alsa/pulse thing really annoyed me [01:05] jen: few of modules i guess [01:05] leccy: i remember it well, trust me... :) [01:05] what do I do with them [01:06] are they for MY specific system?

No idea, sorry. [01:08] so Im stuck for a while then? [01:08] that's ok.. thanks [01:08] i simply booted a live cd, deleted the theme file in usr/share/icon/default [01:08] i installed my ubuntu inside the window and from window i selected ubuntu as default operating system and changed the selection time of selecting OS to zero so when i boot ubuntu automatically boots how can i go to windows ? [01:09] compare http://paste.ubuntu.com/647764/ [01:09] shishir, try holding shift(s) or get grub customizer and change the counter back to an acceptable amount of time [01:09] shishir: press SHIFT [01:10] wechat when i have to press SHIFT [01:10] holy poop [01:10] T_T [01:11] shishir: in boot time [01:11] wechat oj [01:11] wechat ok [01:11] jen: did you get it working?

U can boot from livecd and "lsmod | grep snd" then we will add them to [01:14] leccy: 11.04, 10.10, etc.. is just as stable... LTS has nothing to do w/ stability.

I love my LTS :) [01:15] jen: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd | wc -l [01:15] leccy: and thats fine, but to many people think LTS means stable, while the others are "testing".. and thats just not the case [01:15] HackerII: what i've missed ?

[01:15] !sense [01:15] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [01:15] its...paeeeee [01:16] pieee X_X [01:16] leccy: again, all that is fine... but that has nothing to do w/ stability (which is what was implied) [01:16] jen: Physical Adress Extension [01:16] just...just do team veiwer [01:16] oh [01:16] wechat 'poof" [01:16] or Psyhical ^^ [01:16] KM0201, oh, I agree - there's nothing wrong with 11.x - I just don't want to add a graphics card problem to her soundcard problem... if you know what i mean [01:17] linux needs...system restore! === gargemel is now known as rocko [01:17] huh, interesting, since i deleted the default/index.theme now my cursor changes when i change it via change background, theme,customize, pointer any info on that one?

[01:18] jen: use gnomebaker and burn the ISO [01:18] actually, you can boot from a usb key, iirc [01:18] nice [01:18] my friend installed it! It was his idea! [01:18] not mine X_X [01:18] so go download a iso. and burn it to cd. [01:18] shouldnt I have 10.0? [01:18] under: remove slashes at the end? [01:19] no website?

It was not my idea! [01:20] yeah! [01:20] under: if i knew network filesystem [01:21] NFS? :) its fairly straight forward.

[01:21] lol [01:22] lol [01:22] sorry man just checking [01:22] hi [01:22] jen: its worth the effort to go get your own live cd copy. and keep in your PC tool box.

[01:25] natty is fine, unity sucks. [01:25] prolly nine months?

[01:27] flametai1_, get Wine and play Windows games. [01:27] Northernen, Most games don't work well with WINE [01:27] flametai1_: theres several. world of padman, and dozens of 'quake3 engine' variants. [01:27] KM0201, might look into that. Don't like Unity, Gnome or KDE a lot. [01:27] what am I downloading dr? [01:27] flametai1_: i recall a few others but havent played them in ages. [01:27] straight 10.0? [01:27] Northernen: it is really, really slick, and fast... i don't wannna get offtopic, but join #lubuntu if you want. [01:27] jen: you said you wanted the 10.10 iso file... [01:27] jen one big file called an iso - you burn it to a cd, and then the cd contains the whole of ubuntu. then you reboot - but from the cd, not your hard disk, and it'll start up ubuntu, running from the cd [01:28] Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 --> http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases//10.10/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [01:28] dr_willis, thanks for answering lol, I'll look into em [01:28] jen the distros are 10.4, 10.10 11.4 theres no 10.0 [01:28] flametai1_: theres a ubuntu game tome site that has a lot of reviews [01:28] i actually made that sound more complicated than it is lol [01:28] installed ubunto from scratch, choose lamp server, php still not populating post variables, could a firewall block post variables, (get variables work) [01:28] ubuntu* [01:28] will fit on a 700 MB 80 minute cd rom? [01:28] jen: yes, it will. [01:28] by memorex? [01:28] ok [01:28] its a cd image. :) so yes. [01:28] KM0201, has a Windows look to it, no? [01:28] dr_willis, know the link by chance? [01:29] Northernen: ah.. i guess sort of.. it has a menu thats kinda windows 'esque [01:29] flametai1_: just hit google for 'linux game tome' or theres ubuntu specific game sites [01:29] !games [01:29] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [01:29] Northernen: but thats where similarities end [01:29] or just search linux games ..thers a ton of sites [01:29] jen - don't just copy the file onto the CD - you have to burn it as an iso - there's an option i your cd burning sw for that [01:29] ubottu, thanks dude [01:29] flametai1_: i even recall some gpl/opensourced type steam clone that focused on GPL/Free games.

[01:36] wh1zz0: i'm sure i could whip up a script. [01:36] hi guys. I'm sick and tired of my new system slowing down. It's such an amazingly fast system, this should not happen. I keep getting a problem where my keyboard input is extremely delayed. It seems to happen after screensaver activity, but I can't be sure. Anyone have this issue? [01:36] And resolved it? [01:36] gorf_: at one time did you evern right click on a folder and select open with k3b? [01:36] wh1zz0: cat > index.html << EOF [01:37] Wel that's for those really proficient in php and or java [01:37] TrentonAdams, yes, and no. [01:37] Saves time using DM [01:37] gorf_: you are using gnome or kde? [01:37] I'm using ubuntu classic, and installing KDE as we speak. However, I feel that it's unlikely using KDE will solve the problem. I'm thinking it's something else in the system. We'll see I suppose.

[01:38] dr_willis, unity I suspect [01:38] dr_willis: same with other direcories allso [01:38] TrentonAdams, aye. Happens to me after the screensaver, if the computer doesn't freeze altogether. I haven't been able to resolve it. [01:38] dr_willis: gnoe [01:38] flametai1_: i had a comercial rc-airplane sim. for iwndows years ago. :) with a RC-plane controller even. [01:38] is anyone having trouble getting uinput to work on natty? [01:39] gorf_: some how the folder file assication got set to k3b intead of the 'open folder' item. [01:39] Northernen: the funny thing is, I've put my screensaver on blank mode, and it's still happening === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [01:39] hmm [01:39] TrentonAdams, same. [01:39] gorf_: ive seen it fixed by using ubuntu-tweak (doneit here) but not sure of any other way to fix it. (since Ubuntu-tweak is not really supported here i just mention it in passing) [01:40] * sleeping [01:40] dr_willis: but it's not the same if i open the folder otherwise [01:40] gorf_: ive seen where folders get set to open with 'vlc' or other media players all the time.. when you use the 'open with ...' dialog it defaults to rembering what you tell it to open with.. so it only takes once to goof it up. [01:40] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8) . anyone ? [01:40] dr_willis: ok [01:41] gorf_: my places menu for some reason opens up Chrome with a file://path/to/the/folder - Never have figured out how i did that..

[01:48] agree with others. only use dpkg if you are 100% sure you have all deps and libs installed. otherwise, use gdebi and it will sort everything out for you. === prariedogux is now known as prariedog [01:48] usually...

[02:37] I use puty all the time. But need to get the server going on ubuntu [02:37] well i deleated all the partitions and ubuntu 11.4 managed to install, but then it wouldnt boot and the boot manager didnt even list the harddrive as an option, so now im reinstalling it to see what happens [02:38] pooopycakes, is the top panel still there? [02:38] haryv: with GUI? [02:38] im on ubuntu now. I want to view the ubunto desktop from windows [02:38] I'm desperately trying to change the system language on a ubuntu 11.04 server system. sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf won't work [02:38] nick12524: hm drive good? [02:38] coz_> the panel is there (on the bottom) but it says: no applications found [02:38] It seems as though Bluetooth is not well supported in Linux. [02:38] So, when the wife swiped the kayboard for my ubunto, no worries. Can see it from windows [02:38] yea i ran a check and it said it was healthy no problems at all [02:38] daniel_richter21: localegen [02:39] pooopycakes, I believe in xfce as in gnome,, if you right click the pa nel and add a menu ,,, see if that works [02:39] wechat: Thanks wechat, somebody should put that gem on the internet, I google'd my ass off... [02:39] Is this a good channel to get troubleshooting help for grub EFI? [02:39] coz_ > i can add new empty menus :( [02:40] server : server.maxland.org - user max [02:40] pooopycakes, mm that's odd,, did you check in #xfce channel? [02:40] how do i kill dpkg lock [02:40] whenever I resume from suspend, my screen stays black, it won't come back on [02:40] lient : neutrino.maxland.org user atom [02:40] so in syslog i receve this message and all the file on the nfs share are nouser/nogroup [02:40] !blackscreen [02:40] coz_: lol [02:40] !resume [02:40] coz_ > good call [02:40] wechat: locale-gen will just give me the output that locale gives. Any way to actually change the setting? [02:40] daniel_richter21: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [02:40] <--- N00B [02:41] pooopycakes, well it is generally best to go to the channel for the applications..DE ,, whatever if there is one since they would have the resources to fix,, or solve an issue [02:41] wechat: Same thing. It just generates all the language packages [02:41] Hey, anyone here? I need a test subject that has a web browser thats installed in a language other than english. [02:41] thanks coz_ [02:41] How does one list all the directories being created by a given package? [02:41] time to reboot [02:42] slack-m, for what? [02:42] daniel_richter21: nano /etc/default/locale [02:42] anybody use nfs4? [02:42] wechat: Ohh wow, alright I'll set it manually. Thanks [02:42] :) [02:42] Northernen, to check a language detection script [02:42] daniel_richter21: It's in gui smth like "Change System Language" too [02:43] I'm trying to create a file server...I've set it up two drives each with a partition dedicated to the stored files...I'd like to set up one drive to backup to the other, what's the best way of doing that [02:43] wechat: It's a server system but thanks! === bluethundr_ is now known as bluethundr [02:43] daniel_richter21: nice [02:43] can someone help, whenever i try to resume from suspend, my screen stays black [02:43] clueful_: You doing backups, or just want the same data on both? [02:43] clueful_: mdadmin, lvm [02:44] clueful_: If you're doing backups, I would recommend rsync. I have a setup scripts that I eventually planned on putting up on github, but haven't had a chance yet. [02:44] trentonadams: well main point is hardware redundancy, incremental could be a nice feature if it was easy to set up [02:44] clueful_: Well, just redundancy would be raid1 with mdadm [02:44] clueful: Did you try installing the appropriate graphic card drivers for your system? [02:45] clueful_: mdadm --create /dev/mdX --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdaX /dev/sdbX [02:46] clueful_: But, rsync can do full, differential, and incremental in a single backup, while not using space for the full backup. [02:46] slack-m, sorry mate. Apparently I'm using English. [02:46] finished the reinstall and it still doesnt boot :/ [02:46] and the drive was perfectly healthy when i checked 20 minutes ago [02:47] Northernen, i got it, i just downloaded dutch firefox [02:47] hehe [02:47] wechat is there a lightweight VM with a gui? lol [02:47] TrentonAdams: ^^ bravo [02:47] hmm, my ubuntu server, booted from USB, hangs for a good 30 seconds after grub, before actually loading the kernel. [02:47] is there a desktop recorder in the default repos that can keep up with the compiz cube? [02:47] kerebrus: Window? Blackbox [02:47] hi cool people! I need a little bit of help with a little project, just a pointer in the right direction :) I'd like to set up a mailing list for distribution of information periodically. Here's the catch. I need to make it so that you must have a password to get into that mailing list. and here's the REAL kicker, I want one-time-use passwords. Who should I talk to? I have a feeling ##linux might not be the right channel for discu [02:48] wechat: ? [02:48] Phr3d13, well that's a tough one,,, alot will depend on your system specs,,, however.. not sure kazam is in the repos,,, gtk-recordmydesktop is [02:48] TrentonAdams: mdadmin is too hard to me to understand [02:48] !info gtk-recordmydesktop | Phr3d13 [02:48] Phr3d13: gtk-recordmydesktop (source: gtk-recordmydesktop): Graphical frontend for recordmydesktop screencast tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.8-3ubuntu5 (natty), package size 116 kB, installed size 888 kB [02:48] * for [02:49] trentonadams: which do you think would be better for a small lab ~5 people with ~1TB of data [02:49] Phr3d13, not any that use just a little of the resources ,,, this is one application that is not quite up there yet in my opinion [02:49] I goofed when setting up a program through apt-get. I try to remove it and install again however it is no longer prompting me for setup information and is using what I previously inputted. How do I completely purge a program from my machine? [02:49] clueful: Well, if you're wanting to make absolutely sure you don't loose anything, rsync would be best. But, it wouldn't hurt to mirror and do rsync on another drive. [02:49] coz_, you would recommend getting kazam for trying to record the compiz cube? [02:49] Hathadar: sudo dpkg --purge packagename [02:49] Hathadar: rm -rf ~/.program [02:50] Phr3d13, well actually the best one is just using ffmpeg [02:50] Hathadar: sudo apt-get purge prgrm [02:50] clueful: mirroring drives provides a good way of making sure a dead drive doesn't mess with you too much. Just remove the dead drive, and add another one when you get it. [02:50] trentonadams: I think for now the plan is to use just two 2TB drives and keep it relatively simple...probably in two-three years we'll move to some type of NAS system [02:50] any assistance? [02:51] clueful: Sure. let me tar up my backup system after removing personally identifiable information. [02:51] does kazam have a gui? [02:51] clueful: Then I'll stick it on the web somewhere. [02:51] !kazam [02:51] clueful: You know shell scripting a bit? [02:51] trentonadams: so maybe the raid is best for minimizing downtime? [02:51] Phr3d13, yes it does it is very minimalistic however [02:51] that's ok [02:51] Hathadar: FYI, when you remove a program, the default behavior is to leave behind the config files for that program. Thus the need for the purge options [02:51] wechat no I meant a VM, blackbox seems to be a windows manager. [02:52] clueful: Well, mirror is best to minimize downtime. However, if a hardware failure occurs, and the system doesn't detect it, you could get bad data copied to the other drive. NOTHING is a substitute for backups. [02:52] nick12524: throw out the drive [02:52] trentonadams: I'm generally clueful with shell scripting, etc. but don't know much about linux administration (didn't know mdadm, etc. [02:52] Phr3d13, also if you make sure ffmpeg is installed... sudo apt-get install ffmpeg a command similar to this one,,, adjusting for your needs,, would work way better than most of the UI applications for this ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 2560x1024 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 output.mkv [02:52] clueful: Well rsync shouldn't be too bad then. [02:52] i dont have another one though :/ [02:52] trentonadams: I've used rsync and unison before [02:52] :(((((( [02:53] trentonadams: how would one reconstitute a bad drive with rsync? [02:53] kerebrus: KVM uses QEMU. QEMU has GUI none? KVM is the most liked by the professionals [02:53] Phr3d13, in that command the "2560x1024 would be a dual monitor set up so you would have to change at the least that resolution setting [02:53] Is NFS the default for shaing files between two linux boxes? [02:54] Hathadar: historically, yes [02:54] wechat well im not a proffessional lol kvm has no gui. Im looking for a lightweight VM with a gui. [02:54] nick12524: SystemRescueCd http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [02:54] clueful: rsync -avN /source/folder/ /destination/folder [02:54] kerebrus, virtualbox vmware ? [02:54] altho it shares drives by mounting them, not files [02:54] clueful: literally that simple [02:54] it used to be a pain [02:55] clueful: the nice backups are more complex, but the restore is simpler. Also, if you want just a single file, you go grab that one file and put it back in place. [02:55] kerebrus: KVM is in kernel , it's lightweight [02:55] when i create a db in mysql,where it will be stored [02:55] when i create a db in mysql,where it will be stored [02:55] Hathadar: I would just use samba [02:55] coz_, how would the command go for 1680x1050 resolution outputting to an avi? [02:55] babu: /var/lib/... ? [02:55] wechat kvm would be nice if it was easier to setup. [02:56] Phr3d13, in the command I gave you replace the 2560x1024 with that resolution [02:56] kerebrus: ^^ [02:56] trentonadams: so that one just makes the destination folder identical to the source folder? [02:56] so is there no documentation on getting an sms message to show up properly on a cell phone from a computer? [02:57] clueful: yes [02:57] like if i email a cell number, trying to text it. how can i get it to show up perfect [02:57] i have accomplished this on android devices. [02:57] and cingular actually. [02:57] but some devices dont want to open the message at all [02:57] trentonadams: would you recommend just doing that vs. the raid or vs. a more complex rsync protocol which might give you incrementals? [02:58] trentonadams: my main fear is being able to reconstitute the backup easily in case of failure... [02:58] clueful: If you want to do the rsync protocol to another server, you can do that too. My scripts support anything rsync can, but use rsync as the mechanism. [02:58] coz_, and how would i stop the recording? terminate it with ctrl+c? [02:58] i just want an email mailed to a cell phone's number show up properly [02:59] clueful: Yeah, that one command I gave you would do it. [02:59] Phr3d13, ctrl+c should do it [02:59] clueful: I'm talking just data of course. Server setup is something else. [02:59] ok [02:59] trentonadams: it would be local...I guess I'd want it to be scheduled regularly if it were rsync...not an issue with raid I guess [02:59] clueful: Though I have recovered an entire system from an rsync backup . :D But you've got to know how linux works quite a bit for that. [02:59] coz_, Unknown encoder 'libx264' [02:59] Phr3d13, the nice thing about using ffmpeg is that there is no UI taking up any of the resources [02:59] Phr3d13, ?? mmm [03:00] clueful: Yeah, I put my backups in cronjob. At work, it's hourly, at home it's twice a day. [03:00] Phr3d13, you are on ubuntu 11.04 ...yes? [03:00] trentonadams: I don't think that's necessary just the data will be fine [03:00] Phr3d13, let me check here [03:00] yup [03:00] clueful: only thing in the server setup is samba and a few user accounts so that should be ok [03:00] This is probably an overly simple question, but where would I go to edit keyboard shortcuts? The show desktop shortcut is a bit clunky for my fingers and I have been using it a lot lately [03:00] clueful: Yeah, I would recommend setting up two backups (data folder, and /etc/) [03:01] Phr3d13, mm its working here ,,oh! also keybaord "q" will stop the recording better [03:01] Phr3d13, hold on [03:01] coz_, i have 2 packages showing up libx264-dev and libx264-106 [03:01] clueful: And if ubuntu, run "dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt" and back that up too. [03:01] trentonadams: ok do you think that having rsync run on the whole volume every hour (or daily) is bad for the drive? [03:01] Phr3d13, do you have all of the codecs installed? [03:01] i thought so [03:01] Phr3d13, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:01] clueful: no, hard drives last FOREVER. :P [03:02] clueful: besides, reads don't tend to wear the drive out much. It's the writing that does. [03:02] clueful: I've only seen the moving parts fail once. [03:02] pangthagerous200: gnome-system-config [03:02] clueful: At least on my systems. If you're doing lots of servers, it happens regularly. But for the average joe, you won't see much for dead hard drives. [03:03] coz_, to install i have to remove 2 packages libavcodec52 and libavutil50 [03:03] trentonadams: sure but I don't want to hasten their death dramatically and also if its constantly backing up it might impact performance...its setup to be a gigabit server and may have data shoved into it pretty quickly so I don't want it to get slowed down much [03:03] Phr3d13, did you do the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [03:03] clueful: How much ram you have? If your system is caching, the backups won't even touch your source drive the next time, unless you're using up your ram with other programs. [03:03] yeah, that's what i'm trying to do, and it told me i hadda remove those two packages [03:03] Phr3d13, that's fine go with it [03:03] clueful: besides, hard drives are dirt cheap these days. [03:03] maybe they're in the meta-package [03:04] pangthagerous200: gnome-keyboard-properties [03:04] Phr3d13, also here is a quick reference for screencasting with ffmpeg https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts/ffmpeg [03:04] Phr3d13, try the record command on that link as well [03:05] ok i once was running ubuntu, switched to windows, and now back to ubuntu and i can't pickup my extra storage sata drives that were in linux format, i see them in disk utility but i can't mound them [03:05] any suggestions? [03:05] trentonadams: basically no programs running, its strictly a fileserver...but it probably won't cache the hdd will it? also there will probably be a lot of writes for which it won't help [03:05] coz_, got it to record... the output is all glitchy [03:06] wechat, got it, thanks! [03:06] Phr3d13, well if ffpmeg is glitchy I am guessing the gtk-recordmydesktop will be also, however, I would install that and give it a try as well [03:06] venial: why? [03:06] trentonadams: so you think the rsync is a better way to go than the raid? [03:06] pangthagerous200: good [03:06] Phr3d13, nvidia card? [03:06] wechat, i tried to mount them in windows with plugins [03:06] etc etc [03:06] and it was fail [03:06] coz_, yes [03:06] so i said fuck it and went back [03:06] venial: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:07] venial: what??? ext2viewer [03:07] clueful: Yes, unless you plan on both. You do not want to lose data because your one drive starts corrupting data before it dies. [03:07] !language | venial [03:07] yeah some thing along those lines [03:07] venial: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:07] coz_, GeForce 9400 GT [03:07] to be honest i like 10.4 so much i might just stay with it [03:07] Phr3d13, ok that may actually be part of the issue,, I have nvidia here as well,, glitchy at best results..however i have seen and talked with people with ati cards and ffmpeg works like a charm,,, go figure :( [03:07] however i want my data back [03:07] any suggestions? [03:07] trentonadams: wouldn't you have the same problem with rsync? [03:08] Phr3d13, try gtk-recordmydesktop,, that has a gui and can also be used in terminal as well I believe [03:08] venial: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ [03:08] in linux? [03:08] Phr3d13, rather recordmydesktop can be used in command line ,,, gtk-recordmydesktop is the front end to it [03:08] coz_, you think if i downed the resolution on my screen and the output it would work/look better? [03:08] venial: nope [03:08] yeah im back in linux [03:08] Phr3d13, yes for sure [03:08] venial: sudo mount [03:08] clueful: Only on the "recent" backups. That's why you keep a few months worth, if you can [03:08] Phr3d13, that will always reduce the glitches [03:09] Phr3d13, but not sure how much ,, just experiment with it [03:09] TrentonAdams: how do you set up rsync to do that? [03:09] Phr3d13, I wish you luck on t his one,, I have had none with screencasting on linux [03:09] clueful: I'm querying you privately. [03:09] Phr3d13, let me take t hat back,, actually ffmpeg on Fedora was remarkable,, so I am not sure what is on Ubuntu causing issues [03:10] !pm | clueful, TrentonAdams [03:10] clueful, TrentonAdams: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:10] ubottu: yes, normally, except these are my not so ready for primetime scripts. :P [03:10] TrentonAdams: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:11] how do u rename a file in commandline [03:11] ?

[04:20] tucemiux, are you using the ose or puel ? [04:20] * yagoo says for any working Windows apps on Linux.. to check public compatibility lists online wherever they may be [04:22] join #wine [04:22] tucemiux, the puel has usb use and will stay updated as oracle releases them, it is downloaded from their site I wouldn't bother with the ppa [04:22] * maslen21 needs to figure out the rules for ssh access [04:23] for allowing ssh access* [04:24] is the best way to enable userdir to be usable in apache2.conf by creating a symlink to the mod_userdir in the mods-enabled directory? === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:24] Snarsh, ~/public_html ?

[04:28] thank you [04:28] &(or whomever is asking for wine help.. it's not linux) [04:28] bye [04:28] chipmonk, you type "/" in front of join to do the command [04:28] ,/join <#channel> (without comma) [04:31] seeing as apache.conf loads *.conf and *.load from the mods-enabled directory, and all files in the mods-enabled directory are symlinks to the mods-available directory, i'm guessing that it does make the most sense to create a symlink to the mod_userdir.load and mod_userdir.conf in the mods-enabled directory and apache2.conf will be able to use the UserDir command. also httpd told me this was a os specific question and told me to c [04:34] Snarsh, what's the name of your userdir module? [04:35] " mod_userdir.load " ? [04:35] still having trouble [04:36] i went into the bios settigns [04:36] and the bios shows thats theres a sata hard drive there [04:36] but i cant put it in the boot order [04:36] only the 2 cd drives [04:36] and realtek boot manager [04:37] nick12524, nothing we can do. maybe try updating the bios with your manufacturer.. [04:37] i looked up the bios to reflash [04:37] but all they have is a .exe [04:38] and your suppost to run it from windows and then restart [04:38] nick12524, you're trying to boot from cd? have you tried the bootmenu shortkey on boot? [04:38] turns out its userdir.load and userdir.conf in the mods-available directory, i tried the symlinks and the server restart worked [04:38] no [04:38] i installed linux [04:38] there was no operating system before [04:38] nick12524, i have no idea if there's one.. sometimes it's mentioned as soon as u turn on the machine.. if there's one.. it may be f11 [04:39] i didnt have one [04:39] then i put linux on [04:39] the hard drive is healthy and it installed fine [04:39] but i cant boot from the drive now [04:39] nick12524, check ur bios manual.. nothing we can do.. unless u post ur motherboard make.. someone here might be able to help you [04:40] Snarsh, I don't know if the module can work against a userdir being a symlink.. first try it working without the symlink. [04:40] its a navidia [04:40] you mean nvidia? [04:41] that still isn't a make. [04:41] If one says intel. That's not good enough.

[06:03] Aranel: if u want to clone disk then pribably not [06:04] Noor_egy, what's on sda5/6/7 (c:\ is which one?) [06:04] Younder, you can install gnome 3 if you want [06:04] Noor_egy, if u dont know you can mount the ntfs drives with the ntfs-3g module [06:04] sda1 [06:04] Ziber, I know [06:04] wechat: I want to move my entire Ubuntu installation from one hdd to another and start using it from there [06:04] ZiRiu, I know [06:04] Noor_egy, can you type ->"file -s /dev/sda1" ?

[06:06] 64 bit is obviously faster on a 64 bit machine. It also requires 30% more RAM.. [06:06] nit-wit: gparted = some GUI love ^^ how to do it with gparted? [06:06] i didnt even know if i had a 64 bit machine lol, but its an intel multi core [06:06] so its 64 bit right/ [06:06] yagoo http://codepad.org/c3sVgymN [06:06] it said so when i ran lcpu [06:06] or whatever [06:06] madbomber: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:06] is there any java channel [06:06] Aranel, it is a copy paste I believe, the second HD has to have a same or bigger partition. [06:06] o.o [06:07] ken... [06:07] i want to copy the result of command after execution to clipboard [06:07] madbomber, depends some 64 bit machines are not supported [06:07] well its running so it must be eh. ? where do i look up my system. i dont see it under about unbuntu. sorry ima newb [06:07] for e.g when i execute cat a.c ....the contents of a.c should be copied to clipboard.. [06:07] how to do it [06:07] jen: you have a PM [06:08] madbomber, look for em64 the MAN extension to 64 bit. Intel licences it for it's own CPU's too [06:08] AMD [06:08] babu: xclip ? [06:09] !info xclip | babu [06:09] babu: xclip (source: xclip): command line interface to X selections. In component universe, is optional.

[06:09] (mount ) [06:09] ubuntu does automount [06:09] Noor_egy, that will list the mountpoints.. try seeing if /dev/sda5/6/7 is mounted [06:10] i want to analize my website traffic on my terminal , is there any tool [06:10] so mount/unmount is usually unnecessary [06:10] gaurav_natty, google webalizer [06:10] is there a PPA for old kernels? [06:10] im going to make a multiseat. here i see an example of xorg.conf : http://pastebin.com/YeCsnmhy . in the device section where BusID is defined is written PCI:1:0:0 and somewhere else PCI 0:2:0 . How can I find out this configurations on my own system? i've an onboard graphic card and a PCI Express one [06:10] yagoo http://codepad.org/gyPj2tyL [06:10] can i see that result on my terminal [06:10] where do i go to see my damn hardware from ubuntus perspetive? :) [06:10] yagoo, can i see that result on my terminal [06:11] Lasers, wat s meant by !info [06:11] Noor_egy, can u acess the desktop with nautilus or konqueror to /media/D , /media/E or, /media/F ? [06:11] madbomber, administrative meny, system [06:11] oh younder, i have 7 processors at 870 @ 2.93 GHz? running64 bit natty [06:11] this means im actually in 64 right? :) [06:11] babu: it's just an instruction that tells ubottu to give you information, see the message that ubottu said [06:11] Noor_egy, see which one has "Windows" or "WINDOWS" folder.. [06:11] madbomber, sounds like a intel i7 [06:12] madbomber, so yes [06:12] its 64bit if its running ubuntu 65 rite? man im rusty lol. okay thanks [06:12] yea it seems faster [06:12] i alsmost installed mint or some other dumb ones ubuntu [06:12] kubuntu [06:12] nit-wit: okay I created a new/bigger ext3 partition on my new hdd, now how can I copy/paste it? :) [06:13] gaurav_natty, i believe there are so many tools for this.. this isn't really ubuntu related [06:13] Aranel, hyou on a live cd? [06:13] nit-wit: nope, but I do have one -Ubuntu 11.04-, I can boot from it [06:13] madbomber: you can confirm what kernel you're using, by typing "uname -a" no quotes, and don't forget the space, in a terminal [06:13] gaurav_natty, i would use "list of software web analysis site:wikipedia" in google searcvh [06:13] yagoo, i want all my website traffic on terminal in ubuntu [06:13] when i typed !info..it displays man page for talk [06:14] wat it means [06:14] Aranel, you have to do this from a live cd using gparted just turn off the swap and right click the partion to save , then copy and then paste to the new HD. [06:14] Noor_egy, did my post make sense? [06:14] Noor_egy, nautilus is gnome's default file browser [06:15] Aranel, been awhile since I have done it but it is justa a dd using gparted, I think you may have to load the grub bootloader to the new HD's mbr.

I even helped him update his bios too [07:30] but i cant place it in the boot order [07:30] * yagoo thinks gateway may be putting a hardware restriction [07:31] nick1254, the only risk u can probably take is to use a bios not from gateway .. but that's probably too risky.. [07:31] yea wont that mess up the motherboard potentially? [07:31] nad when vista was on the hard drive it would boot [07:32] *and [07:33] yagoo: thanks, I totally missed that part.

[07:56] want to use the original unix os any one have the link to download iso? [07:56] LostyJai, ? [07:56] LostyJai, Um...what exactly do you mean? "Boots up in GRUB" is not really very illustrative... [07:56] i have edited cookies.sqlite manually but my browser is not showing the changes is there any other file to edit [07:56] you're trying to update grubstage1/2 and mbr for grub2 but grub1 is loaded up instead? [07:56] um... [07:57] ,/for/to/ grub2 [07:57] aum, Have you asked this question in #firefox? [07:57] i start up my server [07:57] and it just goes into grub command line [07:57] yes but nobody is replying [07:57] LostyJai, Right - that explains. [07:57] LostyJai, did u do update-grub2 ? [07:57] do you want a screenshot? [07:57] LostyJai, Have you booted the server with a live CD and then try to re-install grub? [07:57] i don't know how i can better explain it [07:57] yagoo: no [07:58] u didnt generate a grub.cfg file [07:58] it booted up fine before [07:58] but not anymore [07:58] LostyJai, Here's what I picture: You turn on the machine. It goes through the post, then just sits at the GRUB menu, right? [07:58] yes [07:58] well it's not really a menu [07:58] it's more...... GRUB terminal [07:59] Is there a special reason to mount a independent third partition into home rather then into its own spot? [07:59] LostyJai, Yes yes yes, I know...been there done that. What you want to do is to boot with a liveCD, then "chroot" to the root filesystem, mounting everything you need to mount, then re-install grub. [07:59] LostyJai, easy solution.. just use ubuntuinstallcd and choose repair grub install [07:59] how do i get it to boot off hd(0,1) ? [07:59] mmmmm [07:59] ok [08:00] advanced options -> rescue mode?

[08:05] truepurple, well to create shares u need to have it more public for 1+ users [08:05] truepurple, i don't know what you mean "own spot".. I'm guessing you mean /media /mnt standard locations [08:06] Sure on the second thing you said [08:06] But the first, "create shares"? [08:07] truepurple, i was guessing what you were meaning about user's own preference-- making a user's own sharing under his home directory [08:07] whats the flags to the cp command to copy everything unless it is a *avi AND over say 5G in size? [08:07] need help, im installing kernel 3 on natty,but when i get to the headers it says dependency not satisfied but the dependency its referring to is itself [08:08] truepurple, bottom line is security.. how much you want a user to allow him to make his own mountpoints [08:08] jvgeli, that sounds like bleeding edge.. kernel v 3 already? === al__ is now known as al_nz1 [08:08] yagoo: yeah.

We already have it in 11.04 -- It's really same with OpenOffice except branding name and few little things. [08:50] babu, open source forked the project since oracle has rights to openoffice [08:50] alright, I c, thanks for nthn [08:50] babu: LibreOffice is a port of OpenOffice, supported by a foundation. Separate from OpenOffice, though some degree of cooperation might be expected. Oracle owns OpenOffice nowadays.

[08:56] 2 computers? 2 sites? [08:56] i was have ubuntu and installed windows rhen i tried to restore the linux grab to show ubuntu [08:56] and the client as well [08:56] one computer [08:56] Hello [08:56] janedoe: so its between two computers? what will you be running betweem those two computers? [08:56] when updating open office,is installing from sources is the nly way to do...it just wasts my bandwith... [08:56] now i have ubuntu and windows shown but when i try to login to windows it gives invalid signature [08:57] i have forgoten my encryted home passphrase [08:57] is there a way i can find it? i have loged in and it is auto encrypted, but need the passphrase for mountig it else where [08:57] can somebody help me? [08:57] tomodachi: it is more of the fact that I wanna have access to my computer from another computer, though I read that I ned the vpn-server first.. or sth.. I am not good at thsi yet..

Its quite simple to set up and will give you what you want [08:58] janedoe: but if you only want filesharing access and maybe remote controll you dont really need vpn. You can use ssh port forwarding. Thats why im asking for specifics.

[!#$#$Encrypted@#$##] [08:59] babu: that depends on where you got OOo from in the first place [08:59] tomodachi: oh really, that sounds cool.. I will try that one.. is it part of the apps on the software center or do I have to download it from the homepage? [08:59] both exists in software center [09:00] basically you can redirect ports through ssh so they become enctrypted through the ssh tunnel [09:00] szal, it's already pre-installed in my ubuntu 10.10 [09:00] Lasers, so it isn't saved on the disk?

[09:01] Kus: ^^ [09:01] tomodachi: well, thx so far.. [09:01] Kus: It's on the disk. Where else would it go? :) [09:02] Kus: Did the link not help?

[09:06] babu: no, there isn't [09:06] szal, the patch size will be far less than original binary [09:07] babu: afaik, *buntu doesn't have patches anyway [09:07] babu: if you want something that supports delta packages, go for openSUSE or Fedora [09:08] szal thats the error message Invalid Signature [09:08] szal thats the error message Invalid Signature [09:08] szal, if i downloaded for every release,its obviously waste my time and bandwith and space [09:09] Noor_egy1: no need to repeat yourself.. and that message comes exactly where?

[10:05] orestorm: close everything and start again [10:05] <|OLLIE|> means you have a package manager open already. [10:05] szal: so dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/data/backup.img ?

[10:08] just says /var/lib/dpkg/lock [10:08] <|OLLIE|> if you're certain that you have closed -all- instances of package managers (gui, and cli) then just run: sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:08] <|OLLIE|> and then try the apt-get again [10:08] alright [10:08] <|OLLIE|> im pretty sure that dpkg will clear the lock.

(the pid being the first number on the line it returned) [10:20] and nothing returned [10:20] i already ran ps -aux [10:20] marsfligth: try /path, not /path/, shouldn't matter, but that should work anyway. [10:20] and went through every pid [10:20] <|OLLIE|> strange. i guess you will just need to remove the lock manually. [10:21] <|OLLIE|> i've never tried it before, but it -should- be as simple as rm'ing the lock file.. but dont quote me on that, never tried it [10:21] SwedeMike: ok, i try [10:21] i'll check it out [10:21] worst care [10:21] case [10:21] I gotta reinstall [10:21] or something lol [10:21] <|OLLIE|> lol no, thats overkill..

[10:25] hello [10:26] In my network consisting of a few Gentoo and Ubuntu hosts, bit.ly does not open only on Ubuntu boxes [10:26] where could I start troubleshooting [10:27] SwedeMike: always the same, doesn't work recursively, works only on top folder [10:28] marsfligth: and doesn't give any error message? [10:28] Whew [10:28] no at all [10:28] :/ [10:28] so strange [10:28] same Q here as on Kubuntu [10:28] i try again with nautilus [10:29] anybody got experience with lm-sensors and AMD Phenom II x4 [10:29] ? [10:29] well or anybody using Phenom II x4? [10:29] marsfligth: well, I just tried and creating a file b/b/b and doing chmod -R 777 b works just fine, all dirs and files recursively is changed to 777 [10:29] I want to figure out if my CPU temp readings are getting through ok [10:30] here i my lm-sensors output, http://pastebin.com/3A2QCytj [10:30] my guess would be that the 'diode' sensor is the CPU temp? is that correct? if so how does sensors know it is a diode sensor? [10:31] SwedeMike: maybe i have a shell problem, few day a go i installed 'zsh' shell but im not using at the moment. now i tri with Kde console [10:32] hrobjartur: Phenom II X4 955 here. No probs [10:34] somsip: ok, great... you mean you dont have lm-sensors set up? [10:35] somsip: I followed this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [10:35] somsip: just sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [10:36] somsip: and then the rest of that tutorial [10:36] hi [10:36] i want to search for all files that contain the firefox from command line and delete each one from command line in one go [10:37] thunder1212: must be some find command. [10:37] i want to search for all files that contains the word "firefox" , from command line and delete each one from command line in one go [10:38] hrobjartur: Found `ITE IT8718F Super IO Sensors' [10:38] lol@evolution [10:38] hrobjartur, i hav tried find, it doesn't work [10:39] evolution will sarcastically taunt you for not having a subject line for a message you send. like you dont know what it is. [10:39] thunder1212: "sudo updatedb && locate firefox" [10:39] thunder1212: u want all files that conaint the text firefox... not contain firefox in its name, right? [10:39] thunder1212: I don't think find searches inside files.. just filenames iirc... grep sounds like the tool to use [10:39] thunder1212: What is it that you're really trying to do? [10:39] thunder1212: I think a combination of find an grep in -exec [10:39] hes tryin to use hax! [10:40] Lasers: doesn't that just search the path where ubuntu looks for binaries? [10:40] i want file with filename firefox [10:40] thunder1212: also there are versions of find with -grep I recall [10:40] thunder1212: but not this one [10:40] what did i kill if i cant right click on the desktop to get up that menu? i have installed the elementary- nautilius, could that be the problem? [10:40] hrobjartur: I'm not looking to add anything into my system I won't use, so can't help you [10:41] Slart: Dunno. He's being vague. I'm being vague. [10:41] Lasers: =) [10:41] somsip: alright, no sweat :) [10:42] thunder1212: this looks promising http://fixunix.com/unix/537045-grep-string-delete-files-containing-string.html [10:42] Lasers, i want to delete all files related to firefox [10:42] thunder1212: but please be careful.. find together with rm can get ugly if you end up doing something wrong [10:42] thunder1212: try find / -type f -exec grep -l "IP" {} \; [10:42] thunder1212: related in what way? [10:43] thunder1212: well try "find /yourstartdir/ -type f -exec grep -l "firefox" {} \; [10:43] hello [10:43] есть русские?

[10:44] thunder1212: dpkg --remove and go in ~/.mozilla and delete the firefox directory. [10:44] thunder1212: if you then want to delete them... then I think find /yourstartdir/ -type f -delete -exec grep -l "firefox" {} \; [10:44] SwedeMike: God. That might be the thing he is trying to remove.... ~/.mozilla [10:44] thunder1212: be carefule with the delete command... try it first out without delete please! [10:44] Lasers: yes. this is a typical example of the user asking for one thing instead of stating the high level goal. [10:45] thunder1212: ehm... sorry now I see what you actually want to do... [10:46] thunder1212: I wouldnt delete all files that mention firefox on you computer... you never know if some other files mention firefox!! [10:46] thunder1212: plus... I doubt all firefox files actually mention firefox in ascii... some are simple binaries...! [10:46] anyone know how to connect an ubuntu machine to a windows network [10:47] !samba | tyrone, if this is what you want [10:47] tyrone, if this is what you want: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [10:47] tyrone: Samba and winbind [10:48] thunder1212: why are you so worried that there might be some remnant firefox related files lying around? [10:48] thunder1212: your problem is probably something altgether different than your suggested cure [10:49] hrobjartur, ok tell me to just see all the files that has firefox in its name [10:49] hrobjartur, with the location [10:50] thunder1212: find / -type f -name "*firefox*" [10:52] thunder1212: sorry... I meant find / -type f -iname "*firefox*" [10:52] thunder1212: -iname NOT -name [10:53] thunder1212: do you also want to find folders with this name? [10:53] is TimeVault a good backup tool for Ubuntu? Or is there something newer/better? [10:53] I am looking for an alternative to Time Machine for Linux [10:53] hrobjartur, yes [10:53] hrobjartur, whats d diff between name and iname [10:53] thunder1212: then simply find / -iname "*firefox*" [10:54] thunder1212: -name looks for case sensitive.... -iname looks case in-sensitive [10:54] hrobjartur, ok :) [10:54] SwedeMike: finally i found a solution, the only working for me. i switched to 'zsh' shell, then i used this syntax 'sudo chmod --recursive ugoa=rwx .' i tried with many other options/synax but my maverick 64 us-en recognize only tis ... incredible isnt'it? [10:54] thunder1212: with -iname you can find both blablaFirefox and blablaFirEFox... etc [10:55] hrobjartur, ok now can i pipe rm command and remove all the files and directories [10:55] hrobjartur, yes , i got it [10:55] thunder1212: well, I expect you can simply add the switch -delete to your find [10:55] hrobjartur, ok am trying [10:56] thunder1212: you can play around with it.... touch some files and mkdir in some folder.... be careful not to run find / with -delete until you are sure its finding the right stuff! [10:57] thunder1212: oh and also dont run it with sudo until ur ready :) === krups_v2 is now known as krups [10:58] hrobjartur, am using it with sudo, then only it displays all files [10:58] I've got much folders one in one... mess hierarchy. Somewhere, there is a file *.py. How do I find the location of the file in such a mess-organized folders ? [10:58] ok, I wanna have access to my computer administratively from anywhere and I heard of neorouter. though I don't wanna get infected of course, so can anyone recommend it? [10:59] barberan: ask thunder1212 [10:59] barberan: use the find command [10:59] <|OLLIE|> just make sure that the -delete option is AFTER the -name option.. or it'll delete everything. [11:00] barberan, just type this in ur terminal.. find / -iname "*.py" [11:00] thunder1212: that'l give a LOT of results [11:01] ActionParsnip, i want complete details [11:01] barberan: instead of / in thunder1212's suggestion, use the highest folder you can, if that is / then so be it [11:01] thunder1212: makes sense [11:01] janedoe: could use ssh [11:02] ooooh! I see I see, thank you guys [11:02] ActionParsnip, yes ;) [11:02] yeah I heard that, but I also heard that it is only to have access for certain things, I wanna have the full package ;) [11:02] janedoe: what do you need access to exactly? [11:03] ActionParsnip: doesnt the gnome web-browser allow you to run find also? maybe easier for beginners [11:03] hrobjartur: never used it, so cannot comment on it [11:03] hrobjartur, where exactly should i use the switch -delete [11:03] thunder1212: be super carful [11:03] to the entire bandwidth of my computer, in order to control all my files and stuff.. [11:04] thunder1212: dont add it before -name or before -exec [11:04] hrobjartur, ok [11:04] thunder1212: like |OLLIE| said [11:04] thunder1212: find / -iname "*firefox*" -delete [11:04] janedoe: yes, you can control files via ssh [11:04] thunder1212: however... I think this is crazy! [11:04] janedoe: it will have as much bandwidth as the system normally has [11:04] thunder1212: I wouldnt do it... but if you really want to [11:04] hrobjartur, thanks ;) [11:05] thunder1212: you might not be able to restart even [11:05] ActionParsnip: really? well that is cool, then I'm a really try that one. thx alot :) [11:05] janedoe: no worries. If you conect with: ssh -X user@server you can lauch graphical apps and they will show in the client system [11:06] thunder1212: the thing is... like I said before.... there are all sorts of files that might contain firefox... even in their names... Im not sure this is safe... I [11:06] thunder1212: Im not willing to say at least that "sudo find / -iname "*firefox*" " is safe [11:06] Any body know any good encode/decode tool?(base64, url decode...)? [11:07] is sudo find / -iname "*firefox*" -delete safe, anybody?? [11:07] hrobjartur: if you uninstall the firefox packages, its a better idea [11:07] learn: Could use PHP for those functions [11:08] ActionParsnip: I am completely new to ubuntu so I am not sure if you are talking about a terminal or if that will just bring me to sth.. though I guess I can make it, I made it till here, so I am positive I am goanna make it.. otherwise I will be back (in the words of the terminator ;) ) [11:08] <|OLLIE|> its safe, if you want all files with firefox in deleted.. but you should really dump the list of files to a file and read through it to make sure that there is no surprises. [11:08] hrobjartur / thunder1212: you should just drop this line of thinking totally, if you want to delete firefox then you remove the packages and the files in the . dir in the home dir, doing system-wide searches and deleing files basically at random is not safe. [11:08] janedoe: its a terminal command, its one way to connect to a server via ssh [11:09] trinity9000: just need a tool to do a encode/decode on base64, url, hex... [11:10] ActionParsnip: yeah but first I have to install the ssh-thing right (know that sounds amateurish) [11:10] ? [11:10] janedoe: on the server, yes. On ubuntu clients, no === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [11:10] learn: There's a standard Linux program for base64 I think, but not for the rest. Best bet is using the standard library of some programming language like PHP, Java, Perl etc. [11:11] ActionParsnip: now I am overstrained :/ well I guess, I will read some stuff.. :/ [11:11] janedoe: the server side needs openssh-server installing. The client is already part of a default install [11:11] trinity9000: http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp [11:12] ActionParsnip: alright, but do I need that server stuff? [11:12] learn, you probably have to use a programming/scripting language of your choice (perl, php, ruby, ...) [11:13] ActionParsnip: hi, have any console base tool, if dont have internet than unable to decode/encode? [11:14] learn: please speak English :) [11:14] When I was 11 years old I visited Neverland Ranch for 3 days and had a ball with Michael Jackson.

[11:55] dean: boot to root recovery mode and run: sudo apt-get -f install [11:55] When i scroll on web pages and folders with more than a page of files on it, its jerky/choppy. [11:55] ActionParsnip, What does that do if you don't mind me asking? [11:55] OK. First. Why is that a question? dean. Did it freeze it or not? [11:55] ParkerR, Yeah it froze [11:55] I have an Nvidia 7900GS KO, and i have the (Recommended) drivers option selected. [11:55] Try what Archtivity said [11:55] where do I see my cpu, motherbrd temperature? 11.04 [11:55] obeyance, are you running Unity with that? [11:56] dean: fixes the packages as best it can [11:56] ActionParsnip, Oh ok cool thanks for that. Is there any known issues with synaptic compatibility with Kubuntu? [11:56] obeyance, open ccsm.. click on the OPenGL plugin to get into it's settings and disable "Sync To VBlank" then see if it is still as choppy [11:57] coz_, I thought ccsm was an extra download? [11:57] Me too, for Compiz.

[12:32] ooo [12:32] You think its not set correctly or something? [12:32] obeyance, well for pcie that seems a bit slow [12:32] so how can i create partion after I install gparted.....??? [12:32] obeyance: doesn't sem that way, seems to think it's a pci card [12:32] gere: run gparted and use it.. clarify the problem [12:32] ActionParsnip: interesting indeed, mine says '33 MHz' as well (PCIe) [12:33] gere, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual&lang=C [12:33] szal: curiouser and curiouser [12:34] ActionParsnip: such is life, and it's getting sucher and sucher ;) [12:34] lol [12:34] gparted may need to be ran from a live cd for some tasks [12:34] Have any of you guys dealt with Lucid Puppy? [12:34] obeyance, I have not [12:34] obeyance: indeed [12:35] obeyance: if that's a derivative of Puppy Linux, it's off-topic here [12:35] szal: it can use ubuntu repos, its a strange hound indeed [12:35] I have a laptop that doesnt have a working hard drive and i wanted to be able to use it. I was thinking about getting a small distro and installing it on my 2g USB flash drive but it says i need a windows computer to do conversion? [12:35] obeyance: see the puppylinux channel [12:35] obeyance: conversion? [12:36] Lucid puppy is a cross between Ubuntu 10.04 and Puppy. [12:36] obeyance: puppy will be great then, or you can use xpud ;) [12:36] hi [12:36] obeyance: Tiny Core (10 MB) [12:36] "# Windows PC (XP/VIsta/7) to perform the conversion [12:36] " [12:36] obeyance: you nan do a normal install to a 8gb drive and it should work ok. [12:36] obeyance: any small size diro will fit. If you can get an 8Gb SD, you can run a full Ubuntu with ease [12:37] I dont have any money =( [12:37] a 4gb is useable. barely [12:37] hi [12:37] Or... If i could install on my USB external... [12:37] I have a 300GB WD mybook, but it might not work on it. [12:37] 4gb usb $5 here i saw [12:37] nobody there? [12:37] * szal bought a 16 GB USB pen earlier this year for like €15 [12:37] external usb hds work fine for me [12:38] lihelin: nobody left, he will be back. [12:38] i ran this command find / -delete -iname "*firefox*" and now my system does not boot and gives grub rescue error [12:38] i just want to save my data [12:38] dr-willis, for installing and booted from? [12:38] be suru grub gets installed to the usnhd [12:38] still have to check how live or installed USB system works here w/ a CF card; my 8 GB CF is lying around unused atm [12:38] obeyance: yes [12:39] but I think I'll wait w/ that until I have a new card reader [12:39] Hm [12:39] What about it being NTFS? [12:39] are there any gotchas with sharing an xfs volume over nfs? [12:39] ntfs is not good for linux [12:39] you dont install to a ntfs filesystem [12:40] yes,you should use fat32 [12:40] you make normal linux partitions same as for a internal hd [12:40] Then i cant install to that HDD [12:40] repartition it... [12:40] Cause its formatted for windows use under NTFS because Fat32 only allows for 4gig transfers [12:40] Its my back up drive and i put large amounts at a time on it so i cant change it to less =\ [12:40] you dont do a normal install to ntfs either... [12:41] obeyance: you'd want a persistant install which needs a bit more work [12:42] Right, which was why i had slimmed down the choices to this one distro. Its small so i could install on the 2g USB flash and its light so it will run well off what the laptop has on board. [12:42] your backup drive really should be kept someplace safe.. not used as an daily os drive... [12:42] hi dual boot ubuntu and windows and windows wont boot so im going to have to reinstall it. i have had GRUB stop working after doing this before but am i right in thinking that if its on the linux partition it shouldnt be damaged? [12:43] with tiny core linux you can boot from flash and keep the files on an internal fat32/ntfs disk i think [12:43] Its just... stuff. There is nothing sensitive, expencive or anything that i cant get again on it. [12:43] !fixgrub [12:43] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [12:43] I use it for transfering data from one computer to another and to save data if an OS fails. [12:44] this is my partition scheme.. /home / and swap [12:44] Which, that has been years ago that i had to save data, at least till 2 weeks ago. [12:44] dan__: if you got a spare flash drive you can install grub to it.. make sure it boots the flash to your system, and use that to repair grub later. [12:44] Luckily i still had my Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD [12:44] thats another thing. i installed 11.04 clean yet grub-install -v tells me im running GRUB 0.97 [12:45] out of gdm!!! the system starts on console mode [12:45] :( [12:46] try startx gskill [12:46] i think with my setup the ubuntu disk boots first so why would grub and my ability to boot ubuntu be affected? [12:47] dr-willis, Fatal server error: no screens found [12:47] can somebody help me with a permission problem? I have a user named passenger, which is in the www-data group. i have a directory /var/www which is owned by www-data, when i log in as passenger and try to chmod this directory i get permission denied? i am kinda new to this and tought that if a user is in a group he can do whatever he wants on a directory owned by the group this user is in... [12:47] windows may overwrite it. you could unplug the hd to be sure [12:47] gskill: you got some x issues then [12:47] spreetzer: only owner or root can do [12:48] dr-willis, yeah.... I just changed my login screen [12:48] so passenger is in www-data, /var/www is owned by www-data. How do i get passenger user to be able to chmod this directory? [12:48] gskill: changed how [12:48] thats probably a good idea. grub should think its the same as before. thanks for the help [12:49] spreetzer: you cannot unless you make him owner of that dir [12:49] with cp dr-willis [12:49] then i don't understand the use of groups? somebody told me, put users in www-data, let www-data own /var/www so all users in that directory have access to that directory :S [12:49] <[Joose]> Ubuntu 11.04 uses GNOME v3 right? [12:49] There are lots of small back dots (5x5 to 10x10) pixels flashing on and off in the top right corner of my screen. Is my graphics card dying? [12:50] spreetzer: having access to something and having the right to chmod/chown are different things. [12:50] ok, well maybe you can tell me, i want all users in www-data to have read/write access to /var/www, what should i do? [12:51] spreetzer: chmod g+w on all dirs inside /var/www [12:52] oal: does it happen in all OSes? [12:53] spreetzer: find /var/www -type d |xargs chmod g+w as root [12:53] <[Joose]> Will I have any problems if I switch from GNOME3 to Gnome Classic? i.e. lost files, lost programs, any incompatibilites. Will I have the option to switch back if I don't like it? [12:53] ActionParsnip: I only have Ubuntu, so I can't test it with windows [12:53] dr-willis, I just change the wallpaper of my login screen... just that... with the terminal, by using the cp command [12:54] llutz: that command didn't return anything, no errors, but still when i login as passenger user and try to chmod i still get 'operation not permitted' [12:54] spreetzer: you cannot unless you make him owner of that dir [12:55] but what if i have 2 users in www-data, should i both be owner of that dir? [12:55] Anyone here got the link to fix the headphone port for laptops? I'm havin trouble finding it [12:55] spreetzer: having access to something and having the right to chmod/chown are different things. your user can read/write/remove files inside /var/www if hes groupmember, but he CANNOT chown/chmod [12:55] spreetzer: and tbh, why should the group chown/chmod things there? [12:56] hello all, Does someone know how to set time to wait for snmpwalk command ? [12:56] K, thank you guys for being nice and helpful. Im going to take a power nap while this finishes up and ill be back to try and figure out this graphics issue. [12:56] llutz: that's what capistrano does after a deploy [12:56] spreetzer: you dont want your webserver having full read/write-access to all stuff inside /var/www too [12:56] Does anybody here use GTK cairo-dock? I can't get the drop&share applet to work for images :/ [12:57] 3/quit [12:57] llutz: not my webserve, it's passenger user, which deploys my website [12:58] spreetzer: only one user? make him owner of /var/www/* and he can do what you want. chgrp -R www-data /var/www for httpd-access [12:59] Anyone here got the link to fix the headphone port for laptops? [12:59] How would I get the installed package version? [13:00] apt-cache policy [13:02] spreetzer: you might ask in #Capistrano for further help (i had to google what that is) [13:02] so [13:03] anyone has this issue before? [13:03] Anyone else find google's repos to be horrendously slow to wait for headers [13:03] antihero: No, I find Google's repository to be most excellent [13:03] damn [13:03] join #ubuntu [13:03] :S [13:05] how can I restart my xserver? :S there is an error: Failed to connect to x server [13:05] \join #gaim [13:05] trinity9000: Weird. [13:05] llutz: Thanks, by the way. [13:05] * amol_beast says Hello [13:05] Is it possible to change the compiler used by the "make" command (for the hell of it) [13:06] antihero: You can either specify a compiler directly in the make file, or change your default compiler when you call "cc" etc. [13:07] * gskill hello [13:08] trinity9000: How would I do either? [13:09] test [13:09] k [13:09] hey guys i have a question [13:09] I'm trying to reinstall my ubuntu parition [13:09] on a winxp ubuntu machine [13:09] when i try to do so i try the first option; erase ubuntu 11.04 and reinstall [13:09] how ever i get an error that i have too many paritions [13:10] any solutions? [13:10] hw many partitions do you have doufnufem ? [13:10] i have 5 [13:11] pardon [13:11] 4 [13:11] try with advancer install [13:11] advanced* [13:11] one for ubuntu, one for windows, one for a blank parition i use to swap files between the two, and one for swap [13:12] doufnufem, try with the advanced installation by formating it and then installing the natty again [13:12] will i need to reinstall the swap parition? [13:12] doufnufem, no, you don't [13:13] just format the ext partition and that's all [13:13] that you again, duke? [13:13] ya [13:13] problems? [13:14] just working on it atm [13:14] to many paritions for easy install [13:14] and very wary of messing up the windows parition [13:15] okay using gparted to reformat the ubuntu part [13:15] Back [13:15] how can i reinstall grub on my hd? [13:16] i cant install Gtalk like in windows in ubuntu 10.04? [13:16] sudo grub install /dev/sda in most cases [13:16] dyd: sudo grub-install /dev/sdX [13:16] Oh - [13:16] Ok [13:16] iceroot: thanks [13:16] yo anyone awake? [13:17] I am [13:17] im alseep [13:17] asleep [13:17] sorry, [13:17] ##C :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [13:17] what it means? [13:17] doufnufem installed irssi in his brain [13:17] jamshid_: do this /msg nickserv identify [13:17] sry [13:17] jamshid_: do this /msg nickserv register [13:17] Actually password goes first [13:17] lol [13:17] i fail [13:17] WHAT I MEAN IS [13:18] jamshid_: do this /msg nickserv register [13:18] XD [13:18] Wbnew === new is now known as Newwwwb [13:18] *Wb new [13:18] ty heh. [13:18] jamshid_, mode r is when the channel can only joined by registered nick on the nickserve [13:18] what does one use instead of dd to create a image of a lv on a vg. [13:18] thank you! [13:19] man idk if im doing this right :x [13:19] jamshid_, u wlcm [13:19] Man I love pianobar [13:19] my xubuntu does this odd thing after some use (days).. it makes program windows go away..or some sort [13:19] I could take a pic and show it to you, hold onb [13:19] brb [13:19] well.. so anyone had troubles with the xserver? [13:19] This is why everyone should have access to a BNC XD [13:20] it seems like I'm the only one :( [13:20] gskill, details [13:20] http://i.imgur.com/Fq2sx.png <--- is this right? [13:20] gskill: no you are not but your question was a bit general [13:20] Nonon make that fat32 ext4 [13:20] doufnufem, [13:21] fat32 is my windows part [13:21] sda2 is your windows [13:21] sda4 is going to be the linux partition [13:21] ParkerR, Felersurm when I boot on linux ubuntu 10.10, the gnome doesn't works and the login screen is on console mode [13:21] Needs to be ext4 or ext3 [13:21] gskill, dunno [13:21] wait excuse me :< [13:22] I have a FX 5200 Nvidia [13:22] fat32 is my just storage partition [13:22] Oh [13:22] on vga graph [13:22] i want to put it on sda/1 thats where i had my previous ubuntu install [13:22] So where are you putting linux doufnufem ? [13:22] Oh then thats ok [13:22] :) [13:22] awesome [13:22] now just click next? [13:22] and hope i dont fuck it up lol [13:22] doufnufem: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:23] Yep [13:23] crap [13:23] no root file system detected [13:23] :x [13:23] Oh [13:23] On that etx4 make the mountpoint / [13:23] k [13:23] gskill: i thought 10.10 to be a bit crappy. so if you dont mind upgrading. do it. goes like this: sudo su and then: aptitude update; aptitude upgrade; do-release-upgrade [13:24] *ext4 [13:24] n0trusting hrm [13:24] Felersurm, ok I'll try that and see what happens [13:24] Felersurm: sudo su is wrong [13:24] I'm on 10.04.2 right now :) [13:24] iceroot, I know [13:24] Felersurm: also using a real root-shell is not the supported way [13:25] just su [13:25] gskill: wrong [13:25] sry about all the questions. Like this http://i.imgur.com/qSMZu.png [13:25] but also can I try with ctrl+alt+F2 [13:25] ill rephrase my question: i heard one shouldnt use dd to copy from lvs. what do i use instead to create images from a logival volume which resides on a volume group?? [13:25] doufnufem, bingo [13:25] tnx [13:25] !sudo | gskill [13:25] gskill: 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 [13:25] iceroot, I'm happy with my kernel [13:25] iceroot: how is sudo su wrong? [13:26] Felersurm: its setting the environment wrong [13:26] You can just do sudo [13:26] just su [13:26] Felersurm: sudo -i is the correct way for a root-shell [13:26] and then the pass [13:26] iceroot: yeah but that doesnt matter for some aptitude runs [13:26] Felersurm: but we only support sudo command here [13:26] that changes your user to root [13:26] Felersurm: it can matter [13:27] gskill: The root account is locked by default on Ubuntu. [13:27] Felersurm: so there is no reason to use the wrong way [13:27] hello all [13:27] Pici, I can use my root account [13:27] Yeah me too [13:27] gskill: you can do what you want but its not supported here [13:27] gskill: Just because you can, doesn't mean your should or recommend to others. [13:28] First thing I do is sudo passwd to set root password [13:28] i've done sudo grub-install /dev/sdb, but now at startup i see: error: no such device: E25C67D55C67A351 then grub rescue> [13:28] ParkerR: same for you as for gskill [13:28] (now i'm with another pc) [13:28] iceroot, I don't want to do nothing but repair my xserver [13:28] :S [13:28] I've just never understood why root has always been regarded as forbidden land [13:29] ParkerR: because there is no reason for a real root-account [13:29] ParkerR, I had to unlock that accout to unlock the keyring.... [13:29] ParkerR: its to easy to break the system when using a root-account [13:29] iceroot, I never use the root account [13:29] can anyone help me with grub stuff? [13:29] Yeah, I have heard that. I usually don't do anything stupid as root [13:29] YLMF OS 4.0 的视觉效果怎么开啊？ [13:29] But I can see how that can happen [13:30] ParkerR: its not a question of stupid [13:30] ParkerR: but a normal typo can be bad [13:30] i heard one shouldnt use dd to copy from lvs. what do i use instead to create images from a logival volume which resides on a volume group?? [13:30] the situation was like that: i installed ubuntu on a 160 gb hd, but i can't understand why if i plug out a 500 hd it won't load ubuntu, so i tried grub-install on the 160gb hd but nothing changed [13:30] YLMF OS 4.0 的视觉效果怎么开啊？ [13:30] it's like if grub is installed on the 500 gb hd [13:30] ParkerR, what iceroot wants to mean is that someone can login as root remotely on your pc then do whatever he wants [13:30] In all cases, is the server edition good for servers? [13:31] gskill: that is not what i mean [13:31] gskill, I don't think so [13:31] dyd: probably grub was installed to your 500GB HDs masterbootrecord [13:31] 怎么都是老外？ [13:31] Felersurm: how can i do the same on my 160hd? [13:31] !zh | chbdyy [13:31] chbdyy: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn /join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk [13:31] i'm in grub-rescue console [13:31] Just a home server, but doesn't the server kernel decrease interactivity? Is it heavier than the desktop one and does it perform in streaming and torrents? [13:31] iceroot, I don't have a root account [13:32] I just changed my rood pass [13:32] dyd: can you just replug the old HD? [13:32] gskill: then you have a root-account [13:32] yep [13:32] Felersurm: yes i can do that, but i want to use the 500hd for other pourposes [13:32] iceroot, I don't have a root account [13:32] gskill, you aren't making any sense [13:32] iceroot, it was necessary to unlock my keyring... [13:32] dyd: yes but then you can boot and installing grub into the 160GB HD will be easier [13:32] gskill: no [13:33] gskill: just use sudo for that [13:33] :O [13:33] gskill: as i said there is no reason for a real root-account [13:33] sudo keyring unlock? :/ [13:33] Felersurm: lol... now it's not working [13:33] iceroot, lets agree to disagree. [13:33] gskill: if keyring unlock is the command, yes [13:33] Felersurm: maybe cause i installed grub on the 160hd manually? [13:34] !sudo | gskill [13:34] gskill: 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 [13:34] gskill: no... I think you're confusing the difference between using sudo or gksudo with actually unlocking the root account and setting a password. [13:34] dyd: maybe yes [13:34] gskill: unlocking the keyring has nothing to do with this. [13:34] dyd: ok unplug the 500G one again [13:34] never mind [13:34] how to check a file in which package in ubuntu [13:34] Felersurm: done [13:34] I want to restore my gdm in a first place [13:34] !grub > dyd [13:34] dyd, please see my private message [13:34] zhangyang09: dpkg -S /path/to/file [13:35] zhangyang09: apt-file search, http://packages.ubuntu.com, dpkg -S /path/to/local/file [13:35] !grub > Felersurm [13:35] Felersurm, please see my private message [13:35] Felersurm: thank you [13:35] so I have this preseed file which works beautifully, my root and swap are created (root within an LVM), but now I have made a second preseed file which includes the first but with a seperate /home partition in the LVM. It doesnt work, it does include the other preseed file, but the setting i'm trying to override (d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string) doesnt seem to take effect [13:35] Iforgot how nice 10.04 was [13:35] *I forgot [13:35] Felersurm: You may want to tray asking in #ubuntu-server for your question (or ##linux since it doesn't seem to be Ubuntu specific) [13:35] ParkerR, I had 10,04 [13:36] Lartza: The difference between the server and desktop kernel is described here: http://tegeksinfo.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/kernel-differences-between-ubuntu-linux-desktop-and-server-editions/ [13:36] i like 10.04 [13:36] but it crashes with my graphic card too [13:36] oh, Thanks , i find it use dpkg -S.. :) [13:36] Lartza: On headless machine, rtorrent is sensible, also deluge and transmission can be operated from cli and via web, there are also auto-downloaders and tracker updater operated even via irc, but it is off-topic. [13:36] squig, It just feels snappier to me than 11.* [13:37] Felersurm: i'm booting pc with ubuntu installation cd inserted [13:37] qin: Yes but was thinking how the server performs on HDD intensive tasks like torrents and streaming? [13:37] Felersurm: live session means to use "try ubuntu without installing"? [13:37] dyd: yes [13:38] Felersurm: okk [13:38] sigh [13:38] so the only real differnce is the kernel timer? the rest can be changed through proc? [13:39] Lartza: transmission can be used headless too [13:39] Lartza: Desktop gives you gui, which can only slow down yours or automatic tasks, server edition have superior hardware support. [13:39] superior hardware support? its the same kernel [13:40] squig: Really? Then it does not. [13:41] hi, i got ubuntu installed in a vm, no gui only cli, how can i extend the disk space from the os itself, the vm is set to dynamic in virtualbox but its not expanding [13:41] VectorX: I'd ask in #vbox [13:42] ActionParsnip ok [13:42] i thought it was a ubuntu/linux question thought [13:42] Hello. Is there any `easy' way to install ipw3945 driver in latest ubuntu (11.04) ? [13:42] Why does the website still recommend the 32bit version downloads? [13:43] damn. i just got fired [13:43] qin: Minimal install doesn't have GUI [13:43] qin: Yet is desktop [13:44] VectorX: it kinda is but the vbox config needs tweaking so asking in #vbox as well is good [13:44] qin: A GUI doesn't affect server tasks very much at all... if you have 2GB of RAM or more, your desktop will be using a tiny amount, and likewise for CPU usage [13:45] Lartza: Ok, you can run desktop with no gui too, what do you want to do? [13:45] trinity9000: it reduces security though as you are running more services [13:45] qin: home server/NAS [13:46] trinity9000: Maybe, but 200Mb of ram look precious on many machines. [13:46] x11 servers are leaky/unstable huge bits of code that you dont want to run [13:46] Currently have one it's Arch now but Ubuntu doesn't have so much updates that break it all the time :) [13:46] Hey everyone! I'm having issue with the time drifting on a Xen VM running Ubuntu. I've installed ntp and ntpdate and told it to sync periodically (which it does), however, the time is still drifting... [13:46] KommaH, does it ntpd stop running? [13:47] ok so this is the answer i get from #vbox: [19:16] VectorX: that's not really a VBox specific thing... how would you expand any partition? [13:47] squig: ntpd is still running. [13:47] I think it updates the time hourly. [13:47] do you have the command ntpq [13:47] yes [13:47] Lartza: Desktop edition have better configuration, even if you boot with no X. But pretty much it would not matter. [13:47] can you show what ntpq -p says? [13:48] squig: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/442809/ [13:48] KommaH, for some reason you havnt peered with that server [13:48] :O [13:49] qin: Was gonna get TurnKey first but it looks stupid, I'll try the Server edition out, can always change :) [13:49] your offset might be to big [13:49] is that ntp server local or on the internet? [13:49] Ergh [13:49] On the internet [13:49] ok, you probably want to get a few more ntp servers [13:49] Felersurm: thank you, it's working now! :) [13:49] ntp is pretty light weight [13:50] there are the ntp pool servers === hacked is now known as vinces [13:50] squig: Offset too big? [13:50] can i dual boot windows and ubuntu after ubunutu is installed [13:50] Woo go my layout setup http://cl.ly/3p00321i1z0q0a0L411p [13:50] billy2007: Tricky but yes [13:50] Lartza, when ntp starts if the offset it so large it will never start running the clock [13:50] there is an option to ignore that [13:51] !dual [13:51] squig: Hmm... Arch Linux probably has some stuff at init script to fix that "issue" [13:51] How do I tell ntp to sync up with other servers? Is there a command, or do I just edit the config directly? [13:51] Lartza, my assumtion was to resize the partition and install on the remaining free space would this work? [13:51] KommaH: Edit config [13:51] many linuxes will do an ntpdate -b ntpserver before starting ntpdate [13:51] but it can also be bad to have a sudden shift [13:52] billy2007: I forgot what widnows wants [13:52] billy2007: I have my XP on second HDD, but on the beginning of it [13:52] I think it has to be on the beginning [13:52] hi all [13:52] KommaH, i know how to edit the config [13:52] Lartza, i dont understand what you mean by what it wants [13:52] Lartza, billy2007: It doesn't matter which order the partitions are on. [13:52] how can i detect what processor i have installed? [13:52] some thing like [13:52] Pici: Oh yea, first booting :) [13:52] server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org [13:53] change uk to be your country code [13:53] Pici: (Which can be fooled from grub) [13:53] billy2007: Its easier to have windows installed and then install Ubuntu, otherwise you'll need to setup grub yourself afterwards, which can be a pain. [13:53] Do I need to stop the daemon first? [13:53] KommaH, you will need to restart it after changing [13:53] got it [13:53] !dualboot | billy2007 [13:53] billy2007: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot === dyd_ is now known as dyd [13:54] Pici, does this still apply if its on a different partition and i format the empty one first [13:54] Pici: I consider it a pain when my wndows install cd refused to boot when there were ext partitions [13:54] billy2007: yes. [13:54] Pici: Also windows was going to format my LVM partitions even though I didn't tell it to and it saw them as some other type === Dippie is now known as Nick [13:54] Pici: This was WinXP I hope Vista/7 work better... === Nick is now known as Guest22232 [13:55] Lartza: Pretty sure Windows still won't recognise LVM... [13:55] is there a way to move all my settings and files to another ubuntu pc via ethernet cable? [13:55] trinity9000: It saw it as some restore or recovery partition [13:55] Alright. Thanks for the help, all! [13:56] trinity9000: And started to format it even though I selected another partition for install, but failed the format [13:56] trinity9000: And ext like I said made the install CD stuck at boot... [13:56] Always installed windows first since then :) [13:56] Yes, I install Windows first too [13:56] Lartza: same thing happened to me [13:56] hey guys , is there anything similar for linux http://cafbit.com/entry/rapid_dhcp_or_how_do [13:56] Less hassle [13:56] my dhcp takes easily more than 5-10 secs [13:56] then i remember how foolish i was for even wanting anything to do with Windows [13:57] Windows, a word i now refer to as glass. dirty cheap broken glass [13:57] AcidRain: But what about games? ;) [13:57] trinity9000: eh... [13:57] i love games. but... is it worth it? [13:57] does anybody have expierence with start-stop-daemon? I have a working init script but anytime i try to add the --chuid flag to run it as a non root user, it just doesnt start (no errors). I sudo'd as the user im running it as and was able to run it. [13:57] trinity9000: Work in Linux, what I want to play :) [13:57] the pain and struggle to keep a windows box working properly? [13:57] oh my bad, glass [13:57] Theme Hospital has gotten me past few days <3 [13:57] I find Windows equally easy to maintain as Ubuntu [13:58] Doing some things is a lot easier [13:58] AcidRain: DAMN OUTDATED SOFTWARE THAT DOESN'T AUTO-UPDATE [13:58] trinity9000: +1 [13:58] Bad choice of words... [13:58] lol Lartza: you talkinga bout win or linux? [13:58] Windows [13:58] yeah true [13:58] Have to update each damn software individually :D [13:58] Lartza: and even at that. im a little scared to use the win auto update, considering half the time i click on it, its actually a virus [13:58] That keeps me in Linux and doesn't need anything else :) [13:59] AcidRain: What auto-update? WINautoupdte.ru.bat.EXE? [13:59] lol [13:59] Updates all your software at once! [13:59] actually completely without trolling... windows7 is quite nice [14:00] lol. i just live in fear when i had windows [14:00] lol [14:00] now with linux im in the street talkin so much beef like im invincible [14:00] Felersurm: Decent, my last offer! [14:00] Not nice [14:00] decent [14:00] ok i buy decent [14:00] with linux i laugh at exe's. they are the worse thing to ever happen to the bit [14:01] well... i cant really blame it all on exe [14:01] firewalls and avs are advance now. but the virus will always stay one step ahead [14:01] Win7, failing windows updates and 32/64 programs that install to Program files (x86) [14:01] I mean... what the ehck they were meant to be 64-bit too?! [14:01] C# is very decent too [14:02] !ot [14:02] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:02] * BluesKaj waits for the ot cops to show up [14:02] i showed my uncle a situation where i had a website pulled up on 2 machines. 1 linux, and 1 windows. the windows computer crashed on next boot. linux stayed strong with no effects. [14:02] Yes, C# kicks ass [14:02] BluesKaj: :D [14:02] "It is now safe to turn your computer off" [14:02] since that day, he loves to go to all different types of sites and make fun of them [14:02] Cant figure it out how to rotate two of my screens, my setup contains of 22" - 24" - 22" and i need to rotate the two of the 22 screens first. Think someone could help me fast with that? [14:02] Ladies and Gentlemen, can we move the offtopic conversations to #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere? [14:02] Lartza: actually that is quite awesome beeing able to run 32bit binaries that easy [14:02] People are trying to get support ehre. [14:02] *here [14:02] Felersurm: Yea but they were suppsoed to be 64-bit programs and they install to x86 [14:02] Felersurm: Well 32/64 both [14:03] the installers [14:03] say so === jack is now known as Guest78535 [14:03] Pici: is our manager. back to the support! [14:03] okok i think we need to shutup about windows [14:03] What channel should I ask in then? [14:03] #ubuntu-offtopic [14:03] angawar: what is your question? === Guest78535 is now known as jack^_ [14:04] angawar: Sorry, you have a question, thats nice. [14:04] Dont know how to rotate two of my 22" screens in xorg.conf [14:04] i would ask in #x [14:04] ;) [14:04] angawar: What graphics card do you have? [14:04] AcidRain: They don't spoonfeed :P [14:04] two Nvidia 9800 GT [14:04] AcidRain: He wanted fast [14:05] :) [14:05] lol. a previous win user new to linux. i understand [14:05] Also there are not as many active users there :) [14:05] see here at #ubuntu we are understanding [14:05] angawar, By rotate, do you mean change the orientation from portrait to landscape? [14:05] AcidRain: Who is? me? no [14:05] lol [14:05] AcidRain: ahh [14:06] AcidRain: angwar is, nobody has dual 9800GT if they use Linjux [14:06] :P [14:06] hm, think it would be nice if the 22" screens are in portrait and the 24" in landscape(?) [14:06] Hi guys. I want to reinstall a computer with Windows XP instead of Ubuntu. But what ever I do I can't get to boot from the CD. I have CD as first priority boot in BIOS, and I've tried to start through the "Select boot device" menu. [14:06] if thats possible? [14:06] Is there a way to restart+boot from cd, from within ubuntu?= === mlorenzo is now known as mjl [14:07] dddbmt: Not raelly, BIOS boots it so all you should need to do ise what you said [14:07] dddbmt: You burned a bad Windows disc... Looks like it. [14:07] dddbmt: Set CD to be first bootable and have a disc that boots [14:07] Lartza, Lasers: So it's a bad CD? [14:08] dddbmt: It's a possibility. [14:08] dddbmt: Bad CD, Bad ISO. It's not set to bootable, etc. is also possibilites. [14:08] dddbmt, try another bootable cd. [14:08] angawar: Are you using the NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver? [14:08] how to upgrade ubuntu 11.04 [14:08] to 11.10? [14:09] Yeah think so [14:09] vendix: See the topic in #ubuntu+1 [14:09] angawar: Did you look at Nvidia Settings under System/Preferences after you enabled the driver? [14:09] yeah [14:10] angawar: You should be able to generate xorg.conf from there -- then modify it to your likings. [14:10] I thought there was an option to set Rotation in the Nvidia control panel [14:10] Not at home at the moment to look [14:10] Pici: i see the few url's [14:10] :) [14:10] I have done this so far, but i dont know how to rotate just those two screens? [14:10] vendix: sudo do-release-upgrade -d It will more than likely break stuff, your call === david is now known as Guest51702 === edwin is now known as Guest80157 [14:11] Lasers, dsnyders: I told them to try another CD, thanks for your time! === Rudemeister is now known as Guest29480 [14:12] I have to create a new user because my Xubuntu windows (edges of the screen) dissapear so that I cant move any opened stuff around the screen [14:12] So this Room is All About Ubuntu? [14:12] this happens just after week or so [14:12] well, ubuntu is all about everything ;) [14:13] just wanted to drop back in and say thanks [14:13] things worked perfectly [14:13] np mate [14:13] ..(lol, I wasn't the one who helped) [14:13] Guest80157: This is the official support channel of Ubuntu. [14:15] is 10.10 the newest ubuntu install?? and if not can i still use the live cd to install grub after installing windows [14:15] angawar: With some Google, I find http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/05/ubuntu-enable-rotation-nvidia/ -- I'm trying to find a solution (I don't have three monitors!) [14:16] billy2007, no newest Ubuntu is 11.04 Natty [14:16] HackNewton, could i still use the grub off of the live cd to install the bootloader [14:17] billy2007: Ubuntu has a new version every 6 months, the version refers to the year/month === new is now known as Dumby [14:17] ihave the newest version i just couldnt remember the numbers [14:17] Nice, it works... :) [14:17] But why cant I drag windows across screens? [14:17] hehe [14:17] billy2007, yes you can install grub later after installing windows but it is not recommanded as this is pain [14:17] hello guys. [14:18] Has anyone ever converted .swf movies to .mov with Ubuntu? I can use ffmpeg to go the other way, but swf > mov doesn't work :(. Suggestions? [14:18] HackNewton, can i do it off of a 10.10 live cd whebi i have 11.04 installed === xindz is now known as xindzz`off [14:18] billy2007, yes [14:18] I have 2 quick questions. First of all, is there a way to reorder my grub options so that win 7 is selected first instead of ubuntu? [14:18] billy2007, grub version hardly matters [14:19] brandon_, yes there is you just have to edit your grub.conf file [14:19] HackNewton, where is that located? [14:20] Is this is Like The not line For Linux [14:20] brandon_, /etc/grub.conf [14:20] brandon_: yes [14:20] hotline For linux [14:21] HackNewton, thank you. [14:21] brandon_, just make sure you edit it correctly or your grub may get down [14:21] brandon_, you are welcome [14:21] HackNewton... is that like jail breaking an ipod? [14:22] brandon_: sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober; sudo update-grub [14:22] douf-nufem, lol no ! [14:22] brandon_: you'll need to run: cd /etc/grub.d first [14:22] My second question is regarding an update. I am on 10.10 right now and to get my external wireless adapter to work and had to manually compile and install a driver. What i want to know is if I update to 11.04 will I have to re-do all that driver stuff? And is it even gauranteed to work on the update? [14:23] brandon_: more than likely yes [14:23] brandon_: you may have to recompile if the new kernel doesn't support your wifi hardware [14:23] brandon_, Surely yes! its sad but no other option [14:24] Actionparsnip, what exactly does the update change? Like my desktop and all files will remain as is right? And the kernel already update to the newest version and i had to re-do driver. So i should be good then if kernel is already up to date? [14:25] Bye have nice day all [14:25] :D [14:26] anyway I can get the synaptic download scripts to work in win7? [14:26] ActionParsnip, I guess what i mean to ask is what exactly does 11.04 Update when it updates? which folders and stuff. [14:29] 2.6.35-30 is most upto date kernel correct? [14:29] Hi, I get internet from usb and would like to share it wirelessly to a mac. Tried Wireless Ad-Hoc connection sharing scenario from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#GUI%20Method%20via%20Network%20Manager%20%28Ubuntu%209.10%20and%20up%29 but didn't work. [14:29] hello. I have a socks proxy running on localhost. how do I specify the proxy to a terminal? [14:30] I tried to do the same in different machines using Lucid, Natty and Oneiric. No success. [14:31] brandon_: No, version 3 would be the latest [14:31] Is there an easy way to do this? [14:32] martin`, I dont know if there is an 'easy' way [14:32] but what didnt work? [14:32] has anyone tried to "make" a binary who's source uses #include ? [14:32] I have the package libqca2 installed and QtCrypto is present in /urs/include/ [14:32] but when i try to make I get the error that it doesn't exist WTF is that all about? [14:32] trinity9000, do i have to be on 11.04 to have it? Cause im on 10.10 and it just updated [14:33] Medjai: Do you have the coorisponding -dev package installed as well? [14:33] I don't find the ssid in mac [14:33] yeah it's only a dev package that i need correct [14:33] nor my phone [14:33] or is the regular one needed? [14:33] Medjai: The -dev usually depends on the regular one, so you might as well keep it installed. [14:33] eh well either way i have both packages it seems like [14:34] so i'm not sure why i'm having compiling errors [14:34] I remember being able to do it in another computer, I remember choosing Infrastructure instead of ad-hoc. But I am not sure [14:34] Pici, any clue? [14:35] brandon_: I don't think 11.04 has the latest kernel either. Ubuntu only does incremental upgrades of the kernel once it's stable, it won't jump to a big new version (for stability reasons) [14:35] Medjai: can you pastebin the exact erros that you're getting? [14:35] sure 1 sec [14:36] trinity9000, well what should i be operating on is there a huge difference? [14:37] squig: what would the difficult way be? [14:37] brandon_: Most additions to a kernel are to do with drivers these days. There aren't often major new features/speedups for a couple of years. [14:37] martin`, thats the one bit I dont know how to do, I would just make an adhoc network via the ui? [14:38] Hey Pici, here's the pastebin of the error [14:38] http://pastebin.com/JRMvZjiL [14:38] trinity9000, ok. If i had to manually compile/install a driver to get my usb wireless internet to work, and i update to 11.04, well it be broken? [14:39] squig: no success. I tried different encryption possibilities, also no encryption... but nothing. [14:39] can you make the network on your mac and then connect with linux? [14:40] Medjai: Okay, give me a minute. [14:40] sure thing [14:40] brandon_: Not necessarily, I suggest reading this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [14:40] squig: sure. but I get internet from an Android phone, and there is no easy way of doing it from a mac [14:41] martian_, making an adhoc network? [14:41] tis easy [14:41] squig: unless you use the phone as a wifi hotspot... which I don't want to do. I want ubuntu to be the wifi hotspot [14:41] I am trying to get a bonjour service running on ubuntu but cannot find anything current on the web about ubuntu and bonjour [14:41] I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction [14:41] martin`, its an add hock network, just create one and then have them all join it [14:42] some chipsets for wireless i think dint have adhoc network support under ubuntu [14:42] adhoc != infrastucture [14:42] when installing the upgrade to 11.04 i got an error saying it could not install initramfs-tools. i see bugs listed all over and am wondering what to do next... [14:43] https://launchpad.net/bugs/789722 [14:43] Ubuntu bug 789722 in u-boot (Ubuntu) "package initramfs-tools 0.98.8ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] [14:43] austinbv: avahi implements zeroconf like bonjour, use that [14:43] that's what I have done [14:43] squig: I set the adhoc wireless network correctly but I cannot see it in the mac. dr-willis: how can I know if my chipset does not support it? [14:44] martin`: forums perhaps. [14:45] martin`, its adhoc just make the first one on your mac and try and connect to it? [14:45] once you get wireless connected you can configure ip/route/dns differently [14:46] i need a package management ninja. initramfs-tools screwed up during the 11.04 upgrade and now my system is not happy. [14:47] squig: so do you mean I should create a wireless computer connection from the mac and then connect to it from ubuntu? Then I could change settings so that ubuntu shares internet? [14:47] how do i know wether i need the gnome partition editior or the kde one [14:47] Hi! I am trying to find a free image hosting site. No registration like pastebin. (pastebin only supports text, no?) Ideas? [14:47] bovv: #ubuntu-offtopic, google [14:47] bovv: what type of images?

I need to have it stored without any conversions or resizings occcuring. [14:48] hi to everyone [14:48] martian_, well you said your phone has the internet connection [14:48] anyone can help me with command to switch user from root in terminal ? [14:48] bovv: why not setup your own site? [14:49] But I need to do it w/o registration like pastebin. [14:49] that would be the quickest easiest way [14:49] Yes! [14:49] bovv: yes, imageshack [14:49] That's it! [14:49] bovv: i tried to pm you, but you ignored it >_> [14:49] how do i know wether i need the gnome partition editior or the kde one [14:49] And if I needed to post the binary lib.so can I use that same service? [14:50] ? [14:50] anyone can help me with command to switch user from root in terminal ? [14:50] what binary? [14:50] rgb247: can you be more specific? [14:50] @AcidRain: sorry... didn't see it... I see it now. I will go there now. [14:50] Hello [14:50] rgb247: su username [14:51] iceroot: after I typed sudo su and write the password, I'm logged as root, how can I go back to my user [14:51] Can anyone help me with an ubuntu 11.04 install? [14:51] thanks you [14:51] rgb247: exit [14:51] rgb247: ahhh then you want: exit [14:51] how do i know wether i need the gnome partition editior or the kde one [14:51] rgb247: dong use sudo su [14:51] billy2007: They use the same underlying tools, it's just a different GUI [14:51] rgb247: also use "su - username" instead of "su username" [14:51] billy2007: which desktop do you use? [14:51] thanks you [14:52] ActionParsnip, unity [14:52] billy2007: it's gnome, unity isn't a desktop [14:52] billy2007: use the gnome one [14:52] ActionParsnip, thanks === bryan is now known as Guest35750 [14:53] i dont plan to install anything else onto ubuntu whats a good amount of disk space to leave on the partition for it to run? [14:54] billy2007: if you don't plan on installing much, 12-15gigs is pretty good.. the OS will take up a little over 3 or so, w/ the base install [14:54] billy2007: about 6Gb is plenty [14:55] 6? === jesus is now known as Guest72256 [14:55] i dunno bout that one, have to disagree w/ you there ActionParsnip :) [14:55] 10GB is useful if you update the whole system [14:56] when i right click in g-parted i dont get the resize option? [14:56] can anyone help with an uncompleted install after it crashed? [14:56] i have no user to log in [14:56] teatea [14:57] How can I create a user without log in??

[14:58] guest1: i dont see why it wouldnt [14:58] the installer crashed at the very end of install [14:59] squig: so I have a computer-to-computer adhoc connection now. Should I just put Shared to other computers in IPv4 settings and that's it? [14:59] guest1: i would burn a new copy, and try not to scratch the disk.

[14:59] i need it but i don't want to turn it of [14:59] thats weird... i sould suggest reinstalling then guest1 there may be other things broken [14:59] oh [14:59] :D [15:00] Acid: the disk in intact, verification is OK [15:00] AcidRain, ive done it thousands of times its plugging them back in you dont want to do [15:00] billy2007: lol. well i do it as well ;) [15:00] But the 11.04 installer fails before completing... [15:00] just for the sake of someone disliking me because i gave them bad advise, i would say turn it off, and remove any static charge [15:00] squig: it gave an IP address. now internet is either slow or not working...

[16:04] I just can not tell when it stopped working since I didn#t watch any flash videos for some tie [16:04] :D [16:04] *root=/... [16:04] *time [16:05] I for one odn't have that many problems with flash, however I do use a laptop with somehwat older hardware [16:05] who is having flash slowness? [16:06] Dmole: I do not have slowness... I have fullscreen problems like: after 10s video just "stops" but it still runs in the backrund... its just the graphics that stop.. [16:06] howlymowly, Lartza's right, this is flash matter and can not do anything for fix it for a while... I've got the same problem and what I do it's just don't see flash videos in fullscreen :( [16:07] Can any1 give me a name of a CD buring application, need to burn an ISO file [16:07] howlymowly: I have not seen that but a workaround is to use the FF plugin to download the .mp4 then play it with VLC [16:07] (11:03:11) Lartza: howlymowly: Don't use fullscreen? - flash sucks in *nix, nothing we can do about it [16:07] XuMuK: that#s bad :( do you know when this started? I definitly remember in ubuntu 10.10 it worked [16:07] xangua: I said that too :) [16:07] Dmole: thx.. tha#s a cool idea [16:07] Blame Adobe [16:07] lartza, so i change "root=UUID=e3dfblahblahblah" to "root=/dev/sdb1" ?? [16:08] ckrailo: :O I guess so [16:08] no... === guampa_ is now known as guampa [16:08] Someone tell what root= is in grub2? :D [16:08] or does /dev/sdb1 work? [16:08] my $output_file = '/var/www/log/number_output.log'; what would I do to apply regex to my output file [16:08] oops wrong channel [16:08] I had that fullscreen issue before. Its an easy fix, but i dont remember how to do it. [16:09] I am using grub version 1.98-1ubuntu12 [16:09] howlymowly: yah I do it even on computers where flash works windows/mac because you don't get buffering problems or flash flakes out [16:09] climbe2: For me it would be root=/dev/sdXY but for me it's also /dev/disk-by-uuid/*insert characters* [16:09] Dmole: chrome does not have that plug-in right? [16:09] hmm.. [16:09] Chrome comes with flash built in [16:09] Dmole: do you know the name of the plugin? [16:09] Dmole: Stop wathing videos of people who only release flash videos :P [16:09] howlymowly: http://www.downloadhelper.net/ [16:10] ParkerR: Does ubuntu have chrome? :/ [16:10] howlymowly, I don't remember exactly, thought, about 4-5 months ago it was fine [16:10] Yes [16:10] ParkerR: Why? :S [16:10] chrome.google.com [16:10] What do you mean why? [16:10] XuMuK: kk.. that's about my feeling as well [16:10] ParkerR: It does [16:10] not [16:10] Lartza: yah torrenting is better but once a year there is something flash only that someone want's to show me [16:10] Go to chrome.google.com [16:10] I wondered, chromium is the open-source one :) [16:10] Click download [16:11] ParkerR: apt-get install chromium [16:11] the right way [16:11] No [16:11] !info chromium [16:11] Package chromium does not exist in natty [16:11] Chromium != Google Chrome [16:11] *chromium-browser [16:11] Lartza: chromium-browser is the name of the package [16:11] !info chromium-browser [16:11] chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 12.0.742.112~r90304-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 (natty), package size 16095 kB, installed size 55952 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all) [16:11] chrome is nice but I hate it because webkit is crap compared to firebug === hacked is now known as vinces [16:11] . [16:12] Google Chrome is based on Chromium but it is not Chromium [16:12] ParkerR: Chromium > Google Chrome [16:12] No [16:12] apt-get install google-chrome-stable if you want chrome and have google's repo appended [16:12] It is not [16:12] well one shouldt get google packages [16:12] <[THC]AcidRain> see man wtf. im bout to merc myself [16:12] but apt-get [16:12] Chromium doesn't have all the plugins Chrome does [16:12] What's wrong with Google? [16:12] ParkerR: What plugins? The extension gallery is exactly the same [16:12] ParkerR: chrome is built by google and chromium bu packagers [16:13] ParkerR: Also the chrome.google.com probably spits files all over your filesystem [16:13] question: if I have two seperate instances of terminal open is there a way to combine them into one (e.g. make one a tab within the other) ? [16:13] Nobody's familiar with likewise open? [16:13] <[THC]AcidRain> google is great [16:13] Gaah [16:13] ParkerR, there's nothing, but there are people who has a lot of paranoia [16:13] ParkerR: So what plugins? [16:14] I've edited crontab by using sudo crontab -e...should i do anything else to get it activated? reboot? [16:14] timrc : maybe drag and drop one tab into the tab space of another window [16:14] CronTab, you should have the daemon started [16:14] and that's it [16:14] how do i start it? [16:15] Dmole, I wish it worked like that [16:15] CronTab, it should already be there, take a look ps aux | grep -v grep | grep cron [16:15] timrc : works like that on osx :) [16:15] CronTab, /etc/init.d/cron restart [16:15] Dmole, doh :) [16:15] Lartza, I was not able to play chrome.angrybirds.com in Chromium. It didn't have webgl [16:16] ok thank you!! [16:16] byee! [16:16] Try that in Chromium [16:16] Maybye anyone here now something about samba? I cant connect ubuntu to windows to share files. [16:16] CronTab, bye :-) [16:16] hey [16:16] ParkerR: Weird, I was able to play it with Chromium just fine [16:16] how to use terminal? [16:16] ParkerR, er. Really? [16:17] timrc: another thing you could do is work in a screen then detach and resume it from the other window [16:17] Last I tied. Which wasn't too long ago [16:17] *tried [16:17] timrc: (man screen) [16:17] ParkerR: webgl was in chromium before chrome... [16:17] using chat in console or tty screen, the screen resolution is screwed up.. only using a qtr of the screen available with the rest of the screen unused.. how do I address that please??? [16:17] szad: to connect from ubuntu you need smbclient and cifs-utils, then I just mount a share in fstab [16:17] Can I go straight from Maverick to Oneiric, and if so how? [16:17] Well I prefer Chrome > Chromium so lets agree to disagree [16:17] how to use photoshop in ubuntu [16:18] ?? [16:18] moxbox: no [16:18] ParkerR: There is still really nothing different tho those [16:18] well that 11.10 doesn't work properely [16:18] prt1990: Try the GIMP [16:18] kk [16:18] extraclassic, well it says that i have both of that programs [16:18] how to downgrade to the prevous version? [16:18] ParkerR: Except that chromium is open-source [16:18] moxbox: clean install if you want oneiric withouth upgrade twice [16:18] hey guys! using ubuntu 10.04. When I call out a program in terminal (specimen ~/Sessions/project1) it opens and opens project1. If I create a launcher on panel and put same line in command, it will open the program but not the project. Anything I am doing wrong? [16:18] VEndix: Reinstall [16:18] well gimp is not productive like photoshop [16:18] using chat in console or tty screen, the screen resolution is screwed up.. only using a qtr of the screen available with the rest of the screen unused.. how do I address that please??? [16:18] Interpretation of command different in launcher? [16:18] moxbox: and alos oneiric is not released and unsupported on this channel [16:19] extraclassic, how to view windows shares? I cant do it. [16:19] Lartza: downgrading is not reinstalling [16:19] " ParkerR: Also the chrome.google.com probably spits files all over your filesystem" and why would the Chrome package be any different than the Chromium? [16:19] i just installed ubuntu 9.04 [16:19] prt1990: AFAIK the gimp can do all that photoshop can do, if you want to run photoshop you'll need to use wine, but it probably won't work ;) [16:19] ParkerR: Yes [16:19] szad: i mount a folder in fstab, or nautilus has a way to view them [16:19] ParkerR: ACtually it does [16:19] prt1990: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=17 [16:19] Akuw, why so old version? :-) [16:19] then i installed grub, but now i got grub> prompt, i am trying to load kernel but can't [16:19] !appdb | prt1990 [16:19] prt1990: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [16:19] ParkerR: Have you installed from chrome.google.com? How do you uninstall it? [16:19] because that is what i have [16:20] Akuw: too bad, install a supported version ;) [16:20] hello, I am trying to install google chrome but when i load the .deb in usc the install button is disabled.. how can I get this to work? [16:20] Hm [16:20] szad: there are some articles online that are detailed [16:20] I go to Synaptic and check it to uninstall [16:20] extraclassic, dont know how to mount that folder, and nautilus after entering "Web" says error [16:20] my problem is with GRUB [16:20] Lartza, pretty easy [16:20] ParkerR: Mhh [16:20] stupid ubuntu with packagers suppling distro-packages ot it :P [16:20] ParkerR: Then it's not an issue [16:21] extraclassic, looked on some of tutorials, but i couldnt find an explanation on my problem. [16:21] I installed Ubuntu 11.04 via Wubi on Windows Vista, so now there is a few partitions I have, Ubuntu, Windows Vista, etc. I want to simply have a full, clean installation of Ubuntu. How would I go upon doing this? I didn't use a CD/DVD because I was given this laptop, and the previous owner doesn't remember the BIOS password. [16:21] Ok i restarted and logged in under safe mode and everythign is working correctly. Looks just like the previous 2 versions on the UI too. That side bar thing is gone. How do i get normal mode to revert to these settings? [16:21] So, unfortunately, I can't change the boot priority... [16:21] yes gimp is a complete replacement to photoshop [16:21] +1 GIMP [16:21] gimp > photoshop [16:22] Lartza, http://cl.ly/0F2B3m021J1M2y040W3E [16:22] Spikestuff: there will be a shortcut key at boot to select the boot device [16:22] ParkerR: Horrible URL I can't visit from tty... [16:22] ParkerR: What is that? [16:22] gimpshop is also an option (not sure if its still maintained) [16:22] A screenshot [16:22] ActionParsnip: Not maintained for few years [16:22] szad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [16:22] hey guys! using ubuntu 10.04. When I call out a program in terminal (specimen ~/Sessions/project1) it opens and opens project1. If I create a launcher on panel and put same line in command, it will open the program but not the project. Anything I am doing wrong? [16:22] which software in ubuntu will be good for song editing? [16:23] Lartza: install gpm [16:23] Rigin : gimp is missing many photoshop features (it is however quite good for most people) [16:23] it'll give you console mouse. [16:23] Hold on, ActionParsnip, let me try that. [16:23] DanaG: I don't have a mouse [16:23] Spikestuff: either what ActionParsnip said, or, if the warranty has expired, open the case & reset the BIOS (should be in the manual how to do that, I guess; normally it's taking out the BIOS buffer battery & changing and re-changing a jumper) [16:23] prt1990: ardour is a DAW [16:23] Akuw, you can find root, kernel and initrd with the help of this prompt and tabs autocompleting? [16:24] hi [16:24] prt1990:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ [16:24] i've installed mdadm with mirroring, how can i check if it works? [16:24] if anyone is here.. i want to change my resolution in my tty screens, im using ubuntu 11.04 on a acer z5600.. the resolution of my screen is 1920x1080 but in tty everything looks small and text doesnt take up whole screen... help? === MicroWolf is now known as mang0 === mang0 is now known as MicroWolf [16:24] lartza, do I change the root directory under "set root='(hd0, 5)' ", or under "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-generic root=UUID=e3df...blah..." ?? [16:25] climbe2: The second I think [16:25] Hey everyone, I'm having issues with the clock drifting on my Xen VPS. I've installed ntp and ntpdate which sync's the clock periodically, but the clock is still drifting between that time. [16:25] not sure about those all at all now :P [16:25] hello all I have one old scratched CD, say any program whit I can try open it ? [16:25] dyd: there are instructions on how to simulate drive failure, or you could just swap a drive and let it rebuild. [16:25] I am just brought to the Windows Boot Manager, ActionParsnip, when I try to press the key that's supposedly the boot menu key, any ideas? [16:25] oh well thats it for me! [16:26] cya [16:26] awk '$3 !=0 {print substr($0,index($0,$4))}' File.txt this prints $4 to the EOL on TOP of $1 ?!! [16:26] KommaH: wait a few days; it should stop drifting over time [16:26] hey i have an atheros physical network adapter that stoped working after i upgraded my kernel. I reinstalled the atheros driver and modprobed it (process i do everytime i get a new kernel) still no luck [16:26] the wireless card works fine [16:26] i ran this command today on terminal and system won't boot now, find / -delete -iname "*firefox*" [16:26] I want it to print $1 after [16:26] milen8204: Try other drives, program won't really matter [16:26] can someone explain what it actually did [16:26] but i really prefer using the wired connection...any help with trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated...dmesg returns no errors [16:27] Dmole: thanks [16:27] Lartza, what are you mean of other drives ? [16:27] milen8204: use a CD buffer, then try XLD, EAC, or something like that [16:27] Dmole, I appreciate screen and byobu when I don't have access to a window manager [16:27] milen8204: Another disc drive [16:27] Lartza, to try on other PC ? [16:27] Dmole, usually I'll break up a terminal when I have multiple screens and then want to recombine them when I do not (e.g. I'm on the go) [16:27] milen8204: Yes, or change your current disc-drive [16:28] is my data secure? my partitioning scheme was /, /home, swap all ext4 [16:28] Unless that other PC has identical drive [16:28] Dmole: EAC is Windows software [16:28] awk ' {print substr($0,index($0,$4))}' File.txt this prints $4 to the EOL on TOP of $1, I need it to print after, can you please help? :) [16:28] milen8204: audio or data CD?

If i stick a store bought music cd in my player, it will play song 1 fine, "sometimes" then when it gets to song 2 i get this train wreck sound, and same with song 3, but when it gets to song 4 it will clear up, or the results could be completely opposite, won't play song 1 correctly, i hear audio, but [16:33] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [16:33] E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ [16:33] what is my problem with 'apt-get' [16:33] milen8204: if you can't read the disk at all you should clean and buff the disk, if you have trouble after that you can use better hardware, if that fails you can use dd to make an image of it and inspect it for file recovery with some forensics tools from the backtrack ubuntu toolset or distrobution [16:33] !repeat | sweb [16:33] sweb: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Should i be worried [16:44] ActionParsnip, ya...ive seen machines that have them but ya your right it doenst seem to go any further than that..funny article states...Linux just isn't user-friendly when it comes to viruses. You have to work to find and run them. It doesn't happen automatically as it does with Windows. The GNU/Linux folks really should improve this glaring discrepancy. [16:44] kwvarga: resizeing a 500gb ntfs? [16:44] sdxx...what is that? [16:44] ext4 [16:44] climbe2: Your root partition [16:44] http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/42031 [16:44] can't find /dev/sdb [16:44] pretty funny. [16:45] climbe2: you said it was sdb .....

I love my acer aspire one d255. I cant do anything without it anymore. [16:45] climbe2: so try sda2? [16:45] or 3? [16:46] can someone help me set up permissions. I am using windows explorer and trying to alter files on our ubuntu webhost server but have no access to write. [16:46] win7 might have tis boot partition as first? [16:46] Adam_: Samba? [16:46] i believe so [16:46] its the first non dell machine i have bought in over 5 years and im very impressed with it.

[16:48] and actuall it will do it..just that the hardware does not run it ..os does. wich is ..well slow. [16:49] ActionParsnip, im in the middle of buying a gt400 [16:49] I like running those fake cleaners in WINE [16:49] need help [16:49] ParkerR: Fake cleaner?

[17:07] What to do [17:07] Lartza: because there's 2 legacy options also available [17:07] Rudolf_: /join #fedora [17:07] lartza, ls /dev shows no sdXY, ls /dev/sd* file not found [17:07] nvidia-settings is 270.29 [17:07] szal: So? It could be "nvidia" and legacy are named other === io is now known as Erosion [17:07] TRiPTEC: Doesn't matter [17:07] Lartza: I know what I'm talking about [17:08] how to know i have Gnome or KDE? [17:08] szal: Also nvidia-current is old so :) [17:08] E: Unable to locate package nvidia [17:08] Lartza: 270 is nvidia-current, then there's nvidia-173 for GeForce FX and nvidia-96 for GeForce 3 and 4 series [17:08] TRiPTEC: nvidia-current [17:08] Oops I asked Is There Any Logo Design Program for Ubuntu ? [17:08] I am not registered [17:08] szal: yea so nvidia = 270, nvidia-17 and nvidia-96 [17:08] !register | Rudolf_ [17:08] Rudolf_: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [17:09] still dont need the necessity for -current [17:09] Lartza, sweet, somethings happening;) [17:09] TRiPTEC: Make sure you don't update to anything over 270 in the future === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [17:09] If ubuntu gets any update to nvidia-current [17:09] on natty [17:09] oh, wtf? It's some kind of mac lookalike this unity?!? [17:09] TRiPTEC: obviously [17:10] TRiPTEC: NO the bar is on the left! Silly you to think of that... [17:10] szal, but why dear god why? [17:10] They also removed lot of GTK2 compatibiity and stuff, all for the greater good [17:10] the only way i know how to start xchat on 11.04 is typing "xchat" from console, since i can't find the link anywhere after installation. is there a method to prevent a console window from hanging there for the duration of the time i run xchat/irc? [17:10] TRiPTEC: what do I know.. I don't care also, I use KDE ^^ [17:10] like a silent run or something? [17:11] And I was talking about GNOME3 actually [17:11] But unity is more or less that so [17:11] :) [17:11] !gnome3 [17:11] Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [17:11] ActionParsnip: ... [17:11] Nobody wanted gnome3 :D [17:11] Lartza, yeah I've always used fluxbox but it takes days to get it working and I felt it might be time to take a step in some other dir but.. [17:11] TRiPTEC: I've always used openbox, takes 15 minutes max [17:12] TRiPTEC: For some reason now I got LXDE which uses Openbox but is a DE [17:12] Not really that good [17:12] andrewS: xchat & [17:12] Pure openbox is better :) [17:12] xangua, <3<3 to you [17:12] Lartza: nobody really wanted KDE4 either back when it came out.. difference in approach: the KDE team continued to support KDE3 until KDE4 was widely considered usable [17:13] yeah, I used to install ubuntu-server and then what i needed and that was awsome but things like automount usb and so on is really nice not to have to setup [17:13] szal: They dropped Gnome2 support?! [17:13] Lartza: yes [17:13] I thought they had some but... [17:13] Stupi.... *sigh* [17:13] TRiPTEC: Don't install server... [17:13] TRiPTEC: It has a server kernel [17:14] Lartza, so, netinstall? [17:14] TRiPTEC: There is the alternative cd it has some minimal install [17:14] there's nothing wrong w/ the server kernel. [17:14] If I remember right [17:14] KM0201: For desktop, it's less interactive and slower [17:14] install server edition, slap a GUI on top of it, if thats what you want to do. === Wall is now known as walls [17:14] KM0201: minimal install, GUI [17:14] Lartza, and I must say server worked for me for 2 years so it wasn't bad and I did alot of work on my old really shitty laptop [17:15] blah. xchat & --> lets me continue to use that console window, but when it closes it also kills xchat. how exactly does the operating system run xchat from a gui link without showing the user a console window? [17:15] Lartza: not in my experience, but ok... and yeah, minimal install will do the exact same things [17:15] which is best program for virtual machine ? [17:15] TRiPTEC: It's not bad just things are less interactive [17:15] KM0201: Another kernel, not the server kernel [17:15] milen8204: there is no single best app for any single situation [17:15] KM0201: Also the alternative cd has desktop pacakges like X on it while server doesnt but has apache etc [17:15] Lartza: i'm aware of that [17:15] milen8204: so the answer is: none and all [17:15] Lartza, as in not so flashy? [17:15] TRiPTEC: Huh? [17:15] milen8204: it's as intelligent as asking "what is the best colour?" [17:15] hi everyone, I-m new in ubuntu and need some help. I-m running live/usb now to resize partition. shrink 290 gb to 190. it-s been an hour at least with gparted. is it common to take that long!? [17:15] nm [17:16] TRiPTEC: what exact problem are u having? [17:16] TRiPTEC: I neant you need itnernet to install X from server CD [17:16] t [17:16] TRiPTEC: But it is on alternative [17:16] ActionParsnip, ok which is most popular then others :D [17:16] TRiPTEC: Install is not GUI in either [17:16] ok, i was installing a package [17:16] and had to remove it [17:16] and now im getting tons of errors [17:16] and apt-get purge doesn't do any good [17:16] What did you remove and how? [17:16] milen8204: qemu, virtualbox, vmware [17:16] KM0201, I dunno, it might be fixed now, I guess I have to restart x [17:16] http://pastebin.com/FSPLN48G [17:17] ActionParsnip, thanks :) [17:17] elkuka, 100g is lotta resizing ..it' may take longer if there's a lot of data [17:17] TheMatrix3000: can you pastebin the terminal of your efforts please [17:17] http://pastebin.com/FSPLN48G [17:17] i tried doing a apt-get purge nagios [17:17] So while doing some package 'trimming' i accidentally removed bind9 and all dependancies, now DNS seems to be pretty much screwed.... anybody have a course of action for repair? [17:18] but doesn't fix it [17:18] BluesKaj thanks, so I-ll leave it like that for 2 more hours then. I shoulnt cancel it. right_ [17:18] ? [17:18] Hey there, I've mucked up the graphics on my other ubuntu 10.04 machine [17:18] How do I completely re-install all graphics functionality [17:19] TheMatrix3000: are there any bugs reported? [17:19] nope [17:19] elkuka, don't cancel . resizing in my experience can take 4 hrs if there's a lot of data to move [17:20] i think i did a dpkg-reconfigure which may have screwed it up [17:21] BluesKaj I think that part of the disk was empty... so there shouldnt be data there. I-ll wait then. thanks a lot [17:22] this driver is activated but not currently in use? [17:22] elkuka, good luck partitioning takes some patience :) [17:22] TRiPTEC: that is normal for 1104. it still works [17:22] TRiPTEC: for what driver. [17:22] nvidia [17:22] current [17:22] yeah [17:22] yes [17:23] mine nvidia saya that also. but nvidia-settings says its ok [17:23] it is a bug that doesnt affect anything === sht_ is now known as sht [17:24] my user is currently auto logged in, where do I change this [17:24] ? === sht is now known as sht_ [17:24] TRiPTEC: run nvidia-settings see if it says its used or not [17:25] Hi, what is better.

Try turning the 'window decorations' plugin back on and restarting compiz [18:23] kwvarga: no set time, depends on a lot of things [18:23] ikonia: no i dont think so? [18:23] kwvarga, such as how full the partition is [18:23] kwvarga: Did you erase the partition and then create a new blank one? [18:23] ubuntu-restricted-extras should install libdvdcss2 [18:23] yeah let me try that [18:24] Psydoll: that is the most likly issue then, [18:24] no i had 500gb with ~100gb of data, resized that to ~150gb and created new partition with space gained [18:24] ok, they came back bot they dont "respond" should I killall compiz;compiz&; ? [18:25] ok, how about this, how do I set up the currently installed Ubuntu to load with the same options (possibly boot options) as the LiveCD? [18:25] Since the LiveCD does not produce this double-image flickering issue [18:25] Any changes in anything in /home doesn't require password athentication, right?

[18:26] edbian, yeah sorry, so killall compiz;compiz&;? [18:26] edbian: The idea? You mean it is not always that way in practice? [18:26] he means check it for errors [18:26] TRiPTEC: give killall and compiz a shot. Additionally compiz --replace& might work too. Or logging out and in. [18:26] truepurple: Well the permissions might be wrong. [18:26] cgermann: omg that restricted extras are about 150mbs [18:26] truepurple: It should always be that way.

[18:49] so any clue guys!?

There are still no other modules [19:15] tfdev: have you also tested your ram health using the install media? [19:16] codehotter, do "ls -ail /etc/network/interfaces" and "sudo ls -ail /etc/network/interfaces" and see if the number is the same [19:16] anyone know how to change twofinger tap on track pad back to a middle click rather then a right click? === Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush88 [19:16] ActionParsnip: ultimately i didn't.

It contains a folder 'apparmor'. I am now googling 'apparmor linux' [19:20] johnny_walker: No problem [19:20] I'd like to "reset to default" [19:20] codehotter, oooo...that looks like a winner [19:21] aetas: his "normal user" is root. He enabled the account and logged on. Fun and games [19:22] ActionParsnip, I use it if Im working with something although I don't run actual programs with it [19:22] well, on a non-server anyway [19:23] codehotter: could always boot live cd and edit the file there. I suspect apparmor is stopping you as the OS is not designed to have root logging in, nor is it needed. [19:23] cgermann: oh also if you wouldnt mind do you know how to get an icon for zenmap [19:24] I'd have to agree with Action on this one [19:24] aetas: sudo -i lets you use root-like stuff but keep the actual root account locked [19:24] hi all, I'm curious if I've got a vanilla Ubuntu 11.04 install and I want to run (and test) KDE ... will it be a gigantic mess without removing gnome and unity components? [19:24] Any advanced ubuntu tutorial? [19:25] I'm trying to avoid a situation where too many competing services start up when the computer boots ... which would bog everything down [19:25] Didn't know about sudo -i. Is it preferred over sudo su -? [19:25] !manual | AlexDevilLX [19:25] AlexDevilLX: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [19:25] codehotter: yes [19:25] does anyone know how to get an icon for zenmap? [19:25] Any linux testing? [19:25] ActionParsnip: why? [19:26] tamran: It will be a bit of a mess but it will be usable. You'll have a lot of apps that do the same thing. The services might be very similar but even if they provide the same functionality they won't conflict / crash. [19:26] codehotter, cause it lets you keep the account locked so no one can actually login to it directly [19:26] edbian: is there a way to make certain services not run if I choose one desktop login over the other? [19:26] codehotter: its an (i)nteractive sudo session and is closer to if you run each command prefixed with sudo [19:27] edbian: I mean, I could manually kill them I guess, but if I'm using KDE it'd be nice to be running a tighter kde [19:27] tamran: Sure, System -> Preferences -> Statup [19:27] edbian: thanks for responding [19:27] aetas: makes sense. [19:28] edbian, those technically are not "services". tamran [19:28] aetas: You've probably had this discussion before, but why do you prefer I don't login with root? [19:28] codehotter: does: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces work as your first user? [19:28] zykotick9: true :) [19:28] tamran: sure. [19:28] ActionParsnip: First of all, this is a console session, not a graphical session. Surely you don't believe I would start my graphical shell as root? [19:28] codehotter, its more about what its being used for [19:28] codehotter: If someone wrote some malicious code and you ran it they code would be able to do much more as root rather than just you. [19:29] codehotter: seen it done befor :) [19:29] they could* [19:29] codehotter, like me, Ill hop into it if I need root access for awhile but I won't run programs and "use" the account [19:29] codehotter: This includes some things you might not think about like java in the browser. [19:29] I have two more questions: 1) KDM vs GDM (I like KDM much better), but if I decide to run gnome is that going to be another mess? 2) What is the proper install package to install KDE? (one is kubuntu-desktop and other is KDE) [19:30] Anybody on handy with mounting problems? [19:30] codehotter: you run EVERY process as root if you log in as root. Web browsers, email clients, everything. So a malicious web script will get full system access and can run riot on your OS [19:30] biggest danger i see to a system in here are typos while root. [19:30] Hi [19:30] tamran: KDE does not require KDM and vice versa [19:30] agrees with edbian but it does require an Xserver [19:30] tamran: Just like gnome does not require GDM. the gnome and kde packages are meta packages that include a bunch of gnome and KDE stuff respectively [19:30] tamran, "kde" is the debian packages. kubuntu-desktop is a more Ubuntuized package. [19:30] does anyone know how to add icons to an application in ubuntu 11.04 [19:30] edbian: well, KDM is much nicer IMHO ... I can do theming and such a lot better [19:30] ActionParsnip: you missed the part where this isn't a graphical shell, and I'm administrating the system, using another system - one with a graphical shell - to check the web and my email. [19:31] zykotick9: ok, so KDE is a bit tighter? [19:31] tamran, ? you'd have to test. [19:31] tamran: sure, use whichever you like :) [19:31] What makes a DE 'tight'? [19:31] boehme, just ask [19:31] edbian: well, it's nicer (my pref). [19:32] alright... Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [19:32] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on / [19:32] mount failed [19:32] he means pretty [19:32] like a little girl [19:32] codehotter: basically logging on as not root gives huge security which you gutted from your OS. The fact that you are asking WHY its bad shows your ignorance and is exactly why you should NOT log on as root and re-disable the account [19:32] boehme, so mtab says its mounted but its actually not? [19:32] yep [19:32] tamran, don't be surprised if the "kde" package fails, I know "gnome" does. So kubuntu-desktop might still be what you use. [19:32] boehme, what partition type? [19:33] join #web [19:33] i want to rotate my desktop as a sphere, currently i can only rotate as a cube, does that mean my video card isn't powerfull enough? because i don't see the option in compizconfig settings manager [19:33] aetas: The partition is a fat32 [19:33] codehotter: Why does code need a gui to be malicious? [19:33] 10/20 on linux quiz good or bad result for rookie? [19:33] boehme, what about cat /proc/mounts? [19:33] zykotick9: kubuntu-desktop on top of vanilla ubuntu install? I'm guessing it'd be a mess? [19:33] Eighteens, you need the extra fusion packages, and then it's deformations in ccsm. [19:34] zykotick9: thank you [19:34] tamran, not really [19:34] tamran: It's only a 'mess' in that lots of apps are installed. Many of them do the same thing. one for gnome and one for KDE. It works fine other than that. [19:34] edbian: I'm not executing anything except stuff that came out official ubuntu repositories. [19:34] codehotter, basically just do what you want with your computer but know the consequences of using it. thats mainly it [19:35] edbian: oh, so it won't try and run gnome services and kde services at the same time? [19:35] aetas: that's fair. I like to know what I'm doing, but I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't write to /etc/network/interfaces [19:35] codehotter: its not the apps themselves. Its what others can do to those apps [19:35] aetas: ummm I dont really understand the output but I dont see anything about sdb1 [19:35] aetas: grep -r interfaces /etc/apparmor.d/ returns only a comment [19:36] ActionParsnip: what do you mean others can do to those apps? What apps? Apps in the official ubuntu repos can have malicious code? [19:36] codehotter: It's like a firewall. You could either default allow and selectively pick stuff to close or default deny and selectively pick stuff to open. default deny is more secure. the same is true in running as root. You might accidentally delete a file or do something as root that you ment to do as a user. And what if someone was logged on as you via ssh or otherwise? [19:36] boehme, yeah probably not mounted then. um...have you tried running a check against the partition to see if its still ok? [19:36] tamran: I am not sure. Even if it did they would not cause problems with each other. I am working on a machine that has gnome, kde, xfce, ice, and a few others installed right now. Everything works fine :) [19:36] hi [19:36] 1c 2a 3d 4a 5b 6e [19:37] edbian: I don't use this system as a normal user. It's a server. The only reason to login to it is for administration. There is no chance of confusion. [19:37] codehotter, Im assuming you mean grep -r interfaces /etc/apparmor.d/* ? [19:37] codehotter: ssh bruteforce? [19:37] codehotter, lemme look it up [19:37] ok, one last question [19:37] tamran: sure :) [19:37] I need to install a custom script to run at boot time. where is a good place and whats the method in Upstart to put it there and have it survive upgrades? [19:37] aetas:I get File system check on (the partition) completed. File system is NOT clean. [19:38] 1c 2a 3d 4a 5b 6e 7a 8e 9b 10a [19:38] codehotter: http://matir.wordpress.com/2007/08/14/running-as-root-its-really-not-okay/ [19:38] KDM, with gnome (unity) ... what would that do for the memory load? [19:38] codehotter: That's just the first hit from google [19:38] codehotter, you need to look at those rules more closely...they have a lot of wildcards in there so its probably just filtering out all of /etc/network [19:38] AlexDevilLX: do you have a support question? [19:38] aetas: not really sure what that means, but I do know I've had this error before and it has magically fixed itself and I've been able to mount in both ubuntu and windows before [19:38] Hello everyone, I'm trying to migrate from encfs to ecryptfs. Everything is working well, I can even mount my directories as user (specified in fstab and u/mount is 's'). *However* I can't umount those partitions *unless* I had mounted them with the '-i' option. Why would that be? [19:39] boehme, yeah you need to scan it, it means the partition has errors....sometimes they will fix themselves especially if this is a windows partition and you boot it up [19:39] Hello. I'm a new Ubuntu user. Where can I find my clipboard history? [19:39] Is there a way, without root/sudo, to change the default editor (for the user, not the system)? [19:39] hello! [19:39] there a specific command for that? not to familiar with these sorts of problems [19:40] rannmann: EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim for example [19:40] rannmann: Maybe by exporting $EDITOR (don't ask me how). [19:40] rannmann: what ikonia says ;-) [19:40] rannmann: default in what way? [19:41] aetas: is there a specific command for that? I'm not too familiar with these sorts of problems [19:41] here is a question about unity. The side panel seems nice and all ... but is there a way to put that in the top panel? [19:41] ikonia: In .bashrc? Because I tried that both with alias and export and it doesn't seem to be working. [19:41] boehme, hold on [19:41] zykotick9: thanks that did the trick, rotates as a spere now, thanks for the tip! however it took away the option to rotate as a cube... any ideas, only rotates as a spere now [19:42] s/spere sphere [19:42] Eighteens, sorry I've never run into that issue before. You might want to try asking in #compiz if you don't get an answer here. Best of luck. [19:43] rannmann: did you log out and back in after editing .bashrc [19:43] zykotick9, ok, thanks again [19:43] sorry, i wanna unzip a file in my ssh but system always can get what i want foe example i waned to unzip this file rio fa .zip but it can't what should i do? [19:43] boehme, try "apt-get install testdisk" I haven't used this one but it looks like it may work. The easiest solution is letting Windows do it or using a Windows boot cd [19:43] Eighteens, WAIT to use cube just disable deformation [19:43] ThinkT510: I did, and I also used source .bashrc. [19:44] zy, i just dont see the option for cube anymore, and after i installed it, only rotates as sphere, i will look again [19:44] Hi. I have a device under sdb, and I need it to be sdc. How can I move it there ? [19:44] !tab > Eighteens [19:44] Eighteens, please see my private message [19:44] Eighteens, turn off deformation, and it will revert to the default, Cube [19:44] aetas: testdisk only seems to see my DVD drive and none of my partitions or physical hard drives [19:44] zykotick9, ok will do, thanks again [19:44] Hey guys. Is it possible to change the Super-key behavior in Unity from reacting when the key is down till when its actually pressed down and released? It annoys me that it reacts on keydown, because then you cant use it for any other shortcuts, but you can if it uses a regular keypress event [19:45] Ali__: What exactly did you do trying to unzip it? [19:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/648519/ I did an md5 with winmd5free and it matched. On windows now so I can reply quicker. Thanks. [19:45] spow: why do you need it to be sdc? [19:45] aetas: wait forgot to sudo... checking now [19:45] edbian: Thanks, I set up rate limitting on ssh connections. I had forgotten about ssh bruteforce attack. [19:45] ThinkT510: some script I launch (not mine) uses a hardcoded sdc I believe [19:46] boehme, its probably that but if its not, you can pass in the device name [19:46] codehotter: ha :) [19:46] codehotter: sure [19:46] aetas: it's not filtering out everything in /etc/network since I can create files there [19:46] vlt:: a zip file like this xxx xxx.zip [19:46] ThinkT510: Sounds like very bad (and dangerous) script design. [19:46] Ali__: You did a zip file? [19:46] aetas: I grepped for 'network' as well and don't see anything [19:47] vlt: my thoughts exactly, shouldn't hardcode paths like that [19:47] codehotter, can you pastebin it [19:47] ThinkT510: I managed to move it today when sdb crashed, the device then appeared as sdc and I was able to run the script [19:47] aetas: pastebin what, exactly? [19:47] vlt:: yeah, with this , unzip xx xx.zip [19:47] codehotter, the file obviously :) [19:47] Ali__: Try to put the file name in quotes. [19:47] zykotick9, you were right, i turned off or unchecked "enable cube reflection and deformation" and it's back to cube mode, thanks that worked, nice to have both options... much appreciated your input [19:47] aetas: I have figured out how to disable apparmor (put it in complain mode, that is). No luck, still permission denied. [19:48] spow: id guess you could do it with a udev rule? [19:48] Ali__: on the terminal you need to escape certain characters such as whitespaces.. try tabbing the filename, that should do that for you [19:48] Plzzzzz tell me why "Ubuntu" disabled "Snap" feature in Unity2d!??!

[19:49] aetas: neither worked [19:49] boehme, why is sda1 set to ext4 if thats your fat32 partition [19:49] tfdev: pastebin is not for asking questions but to supply additional information [19:49] Hey all [19:50] is there a fix for the flash settings dailog yet?

[19:50] codehotter, do this one and try it "sudo invoke-rc.d apparmor kill" if that doesnt work then its something else [19:50] acicula: my user (root) has permissions on /etc/network/interfaces as shown by ls -l /etc/network/interfaces: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 347 2011-07-19 19:46 /etc/network/interfaces [19:50] boehme, fdisk -l [19:50] szal:: what do you mean? what should i do with this kind of files? [19:50] really, why should the snap feature in Unity2D be disabled? This is a great feature.. you cant just disable that :| [19:51] aetas: kill is not an accept action, but I did 'stop' and 'teardown'. apparmor is disabled now.

[19:58] kion, upgrade in software-center [19:58] acicula: I don't have sudo access. This is a shared webserver. [19:58] i have /home/private mounted as ro and want /home/shared to be rw [19:58] kion: eh you can build custom kernels from source, but its probably not needed [19:58] aetas [19:58] !latest | kion [19:58] kion, and of course, you have to reboot after new kernel installed [19:58] kion: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [19:58] acicula: every program. In particular, I want to use 'mv' /root/interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces [19:58] dli, why would you use software center to upgrade our kernel? [19:58] acicula: I'm just trying to change my default editor to vim. It should be working, but when I crontab -e, it opens in nano. [19:58] *your [19:58] acicula: aa-status shows 0 profiles loaded [19:58] hello to everyone ! [19:58] dli: I meant the latest within Ubuntu [19:58] codehotter: you need root permissions to do that [19:58] aetas: there is nothing useful in /var/log/auth.log or kern.log. [19:59] edbian: the unallocated space was originally a primary boot partition with nothing on it. I dont remember partitioning it... just a little strange to me [19:59] kion, press alt + f2 then gksu synaptic [19:59] rannmann: try /usr/bin/vim instead of vim [19:59] acicula: id shows uid=0,gid=0,groups=0, whoami shows root [19:59] edbian: I deleted it to make use of it [19:59] codehotter, actually when you run that command he gave you does it show any processes in enforce still? [19:59] acicula: I already tried that. [19:59] aetas: No. everything says 0 [19:59] codehotter: then just run aa-status to show you the status [19:59] dli: my uname results in : Linux M15x 2.6.38-8-generic [19:59] do any of you use wine? [19:59] tfdev: Was it for windows? was it ntfs? [19:59] rannmann, one n00b's way, remove the nano package [19:59] codehotter, what ver of ubuntu is this anyway? [19:59] !info wine [19:59] wine (source: wine1.2): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (meta package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-0ubuntu6 (natty), package size 3 kB, installed size 68 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all) [19:59] dli: I don't have sudo/root. [19:59] aetas: Alright I believe that fixed it [19:59] em, I do [19:59] can anyone to tell me the passwd for " su " i just install ubuntu 10.4 and wen i try to go on the " su " i don`t know the passwd and its not the passwd i put wen i install it ..... [20:00] kion, that's pretty much the newest [20:00] edbian: NTFS yes I believe so [20:00] aetas: thanks so much for all your help [20:00] acicula: 0 profiles loaded, 0 programs in enforcing... etc. I just ran invokerc.d apparmor stop and invokerc.d apparmor teardown [20:00] aetas: 11.04 [20:00] em, what do you want to know? [20:00] boehme, welcome :) [20:00] ParkerR: do you like it? Is there any downside to installing it? It doesn't mess up your menus or anything? [20:00] tfdev: Now it's empty? Check the hdd with windows or try to boot the liveUSB without the hdd plugged in. [20:00] No [20:00] codehotter, just standard ubuntu 11.04? [20:00] codehotter: ok, then apparmor is really off [20:00] em, not at all [20:00] ParkerR: im thinking about installing it to run spotify [20:00] rannmann, do this: put EDITOR=vim in your profile (~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc, etc. [20:00] I was just playing Portal 2 with it [20:00] em: spotify has a linux client [20:00] acicula: you have to buy the premium to use it [20:00] though might still need a payed sub [20:01] acicula, but the linux client you have to have premium [20:01] edbian: yeah, about to check the disk. be back soon [20:01] dli: Tried that, too. No luck. [20:01] tfdev: sure [20:01] Spotify works in WINE [20:01] dli: Synaptics offered me a newer about a week ago, but after installing I could no longer boot into it so I uninstalled it [20:01] I have it installed [20:01] aetas: I am renting this server from a vps provider. I clicked the "ubuntu" button. uname -r shows 2.6.38-8-virtual [20:01] em, you don't have to do the OSS like they say on their site [20:01] rannmann, try: EDITOR=vim crontab [20:02] mount -t nfs -o rw localhost:/home/shared /home/test2 [20:02] codehotter, arg....Im assuming they did the install? [20:02] can anyone to tell me how to see or change the su passwd ? i just install it and i don't know the su passwd ..... pfff [20:02] this is the command used [20:02] aetas: yes =( [20:02] i am getting read only filesystem [20:02] when trying to touch a file [20:02] gisli, sudo passwd [20:02] gispita, you mean for the command su ? [20:02] * gispita [20:02] gispita: you do not actually need to know that password. use sudo [20:03] gispita: use sudo with your own password. === gold is now known as Guest97894 [20:03] i do not install yum update .... [20:03] gispita: sudo su - [20:03] if i`m not su ... [20:03] hah [20:03] dli: Now it froze when I tried to log in. I'm locked out :( [20:03] !root [20:03] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:03] ocx, any errors in dmesg? [20:03] use apt-get instead of yum [20:03] gispita: or sudo -i [20:03] dont be a fedora noob [20:03] the password would be encrytped for su [20:03] ok [20:03] thanks [20:03] Please be friendly instead of bashing fedora users. This is not 'ubuntu' spirit. [20:03] no worries [20:03] its not your usual password [20:03] Hi, the top border isnt showing up when opening an app. it happened after trying to enable compiz cube. I tried "compiz --replace" but that didnt work. any suggestions? [20:03] hello everyone [20:04] yeah sorry fedora is cool [20:04] im sayinf different package managers [20:04] uabn93: Do you have ccsm installed? [20:04] codehotter, I was focusing mainly on things that could happen in a normal install but with them doing the install, they could have some custom security step [20:04] idmapping: failing [20:04] uabn93, something like gtk-window-decorator ? [20:04] got this error for nfs4 [20:04] uabn93: The border is called 'window decorations' [20:04] edbian: yes [20:04] Guise, I just installed the base command line, how can I get the sexy unity and other GUI things? [20:04] aetas: yea, I'll contact them [20:04] uabn93: Go to the window decorations plugin === MicroWolf is now known as mang0 [20:05] i forgot how to install my ati graffics lol [20:05] codehotter, that kernel looks like it comes from linux-virtual [20:05] goodtime, what Ubuntu version? And if Unity turned on? [20:06] i have 10.10 right now [20:06] aetas: it could be. [20:06] aetas: there are no hints in /proc/cpuinfo as to what the hypervisor is. Information on the website says xen paravirt [20:06] goodtime, ok System > Administration > hardware drivers [20:06] hi [20:07] im hooked up to a wireless adapter [20:07] edbian: windows chkdsk came back with 0 problems [20:07] codehotter, actually I never asked but what are you trying to change in that file anyway? [20:07] edbian: and re-enable it? what should i do if that doesnt fix it? [20:07] it says that there is no propritary drivers [20:07] edbian: i see that you're busy, please take your time and get back to me when you can, thanks! [20:07] goodtime, hmm then try google [20:08] aetas: you did ask. The answer was: automatically create a bridge interface on boot [20:08] i need to ues the terminal [20:08] use* [20:08] ok [20:08] codehotter, I was looking more for the changes but thats ok :) [20:08] tfdev: ok, that's good. Can you boot without the hdd in? [20:08] edbian: I even tried to use metacity but that didnt work [20:08] uabn93: re-enable it and then compiz --replace& [20:08] * edbian forgot to scroll down :P [20:08] aetas: I want to add an additional interface to be created on boot [20:09] uabn93: Is it enabled and compiz --replace& doesn't fix it? [20:09] aetas: I need to edit /etc/network/interfaces for this [20:09] codehotter: did you check if the file was set immutable? lsattr /etc/network/intefaces (look for i) [20:09] tfdev: I'm here :) [20:09] trism: yes, it was. You are a gentleman and a scholar. [20:09] I'm dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu. Some of my drives which have data files are NTFS. I'm realizing that linux is screwing some files/directories which are in the ntfs drive. Sometimes a directory becomes a 0 byte file when I return to it a day or so later.. sometimes files just disappear. What's happening ?:-| [20:09] trism: I had remember immutable, but had assumed ls -l would show it. Thank you for saving my day. [20:10] that was it? [20:10] yep. [20:10] tfdev: I'm not sure that chkdsk checked anything more than the windows partition [20:10] how'd that even get set [20:10] edbian, hey mate! [20:10] aetas: don't know, and don't care ; ) [20:10] lol [20:10] edbian: well im using a different login account to connect to irc bcause even that is giving me a headache..so ill disconnect and get back to you [20:10] edbian: i was wonering the same thing... [20:10] Soothsayer: hello :) [20:10] uabn93: ok [20:10] tfdev: Yeah. It's not good that random partitions showed up [20:10] * chalcedny smiles [20:11] Thank you everybody for your time. === p0s3isd0n is now known as p0s3id0n [20:11] edbian: k im going to shut down and disconnect hard drive. Ill reconnect on my phone so I may be slow to respond. [20:11] tfdev: no worries [20:11] codehotter: sure [20:11] anyone know what this means: [20:12] it means ronqbc joined and fabzor3 quit [20:12] ./init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found [20:12] question: has anyone used Maruson power supplies with ubuntu? i have had APS [20:12] unable to open /dev/sda [20:12] climbe2: The liveUSB or liveCD can't find itself! [20:12] could anyone help? when i leave my computer alone it freezes. what can i do? [20:12] how is this possible? [20:12] climbe2: unable to open /dev/sda means it can't find the hdd [20:12] climbe2: Is this a usb or a liceCD ? [20:12] live* [20:12] I am unable to load any kernel versions [20:13] this is a usb [20:13] but the CD does not work either [20:13] climbe2: plug the usb into a different port [20:13] climbe2: particularly one that is not on a hub or anything like that [20:13] climbe2, the first one means that sr0 drive doesnt have a cd [20:13] is it a scsi cdrom? [20:13] hi [20:14] ho are you ? [20:14] aetas: he's using a liveUSB [20:14] ah [20:14] need help [20:14] armin291: Hi, you're in #ubuntu, the technical support channel for Ubuntu.

It's still plugged in. Do I need to "re-add" it to the array? [20:19] super [20:19] ronqbc: what about ctrl + alt + F1 ? [20:19] DrDamnit: what does /proc/mdstat contain?

[20:20] DrDamnit: anything in /var/log/messages about the disk? [20:20] SSetoo: I think you mean 2 vertical, 2 horizontal [20:20] yes [20:20] SSetoo: That is not a question though :) [20:20] edbian, what? [20:21] and if a window is between two desktops [20:21] ronqbc: hahaha, can you press ctrl + alt + F1 ? [20:21] popey: "md: kicking non-fresh sda from array!" [20:21] it maximizes on the desktop where it is most [20:21] ok [20:21] DrDamnit: interesting [20:21] is it possible to install firefox 3.x on ubuntu 11.04? [20:21] SSetoo: someone came in here the other day.

I want to uninstall virtual box... [20:22] edbian: sorry that is not a possible solution for me [20:22] popey: maybe it's a bad cable. going to swap cables. and try again. I'll be back in a few minutes. [20:22] SSetoo: I don't know of any other! :( [20:23] popey: or maybe not. fdisk -l sees it. [20:23] which should i buy, Hacking Linux Exposed or The Linux Bible 2011? [20:23] mang0, what'd you install it with? [20:23] mang0: virtual box is in the repos. But how did you install it? [20:23] I used terminal I think [20:23] is it in the repos? [20:23] mang0: Can you be more specific [20:23] * mang0 looks again [20:23] !ot | pappa_bear [20:23] pappa_bear: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:23] mang0: it is yes [20:23] he means hes going to have to manually remove it :p [20:23] that is an ubuntu related question [20:24] if i wanted to ask windows users i'd have gon to their channel [20:24] mang0: It's in universe (but this probably won't help us remove it) [20:24] although i cannot boot from any ubuntu kernels, is there at least a way to save my files and re-install? [20:24] pappa_bear: Your book preferences aren't an Ubuntu technical support question. Please go ask #ubuntu-offtopic :) [20:24] anyone? [20:24] ah, found it in the repos [20:24] mang0: sure :) [20:24] hi [20:24] i have ubuntu 9.04 [20:24] what's the differance between "Removal" and "Complete removal" edbian ? [20:25] rww, but my goal is to be of better help, technically, to the Ubuntu user group [20:25] where is the menu.lst, i can`t find it [20:25] mang0: complete removal removes settings files in /etc/ and such as well as the actual program executable [20:25] ah, okay. that's what I want to do. I'm going to dual boot instead :) [20:25] pappa_bear: :) [20:25] mang0: virtual box is not dual boot :) [20:26] mang0: It allows you to run two os's at the same time on one machine [20:26] edbian, lol [20:26] edbian: exactly, i'm deleting vb in favour of dual boot [20:26] lol [20:26] mang0: ahhh :) [20:26] ;) [20:26] edbian, just stirring the nest a little.. :D [20:26] mang0: Sure, was virtual box installed via repos? [20:26] pappa_bear: the linux bible, used to be, just a deadtree version of publicly available faqs and howtos [20:26] edbian: say, why exactly am i booting from usb without hdd? Almost done btw. [20:26] pappa_bear: I love helping here and I didn't read a book to learn how :) [20:26] edbian: yes, I remember reading the description now [20:26] acicula, yeah but in all fairness do you think one of those "hacking" books is better? [20:26] I thought i did it via terminal but I was wrong [20:27] Hello Everyone. Who is real familiar with the boot up process for ubuntu? [20:27] Hello. I'm a new Ubuntu user. Where can I find my clipboard history? [20:27] edbian, is there a way to save all of my files found on sdb1 and sdb2 and re-install, even if i cannot boot to any of my kernels? [20:27] tfdev: I am quite sure I saw errors in your paste regarding difficulty reading the hdd. I have seen this crash many a live boot before. I want to confirm there are problems with the hdd and not any other part of the computer. software or hardware [20:27] climbe2: sure, boot a live CD :) [20:27] haha...can't boot a live C [20:27] d [20:27] climbe2: and connect something to the computer where you can boot all this data [20:27] edbian: thanks :) [20:27] climbe2: Then no :( [20:27] aetas: i've rummaged through them, dont think they are that terrible, then again id never buy it either === jack is now known as jack^_ [20:28] climbe2: Did you try booting a liveUSB in a different USB port? [20:28] tfdev: sure [20:28] yes, same error [20:28] edbian: I used to dual boot winXP and ubuntu, but my computer messed up, had to reformat both hdds, I reinstalled ubuntu and now I'm reinstalling windows after trying VB :P [20:28] mang0: You can install something in the terminal from the repos. I do it all the time [20:28] ah [20:28] mang0: FYI, this is going to mess up your bootloader grub but it is a known issue and there is a fix. [20:28] are they a way to update to 11.04 but still have stuff from 10.10 i think unity is to much like Windows 7 :) [20:29] !grub-repair | mang0 [20:29] darn [20:29] edbian: I know, I've done it before [20:29] mang0: oh good :) [20:29] :) [20:29] !classic | Numn [20:29] Numn: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [20:29] do you think 128mb dedicated video is enough for ubuntu [20:29] acicula, they're not terrible for security stuff but he wanted a book to get him brought up to speed on general stuff which they usually aren't much help with [20:30] mrdeb: more than enough [20:30] Anyone real familiar with the boot process for ubuntu [20:30] Testtube1: best to just ask your actual question [20:30] rww Makes sense :P [20:30] What in /boot gets stored in memory? [20:31] Hi all. In unity, how can I configure ALT-TAB to exclude iconified windows? [20:31] can anyone tell me what can i do if the login screen doesn't appears after the screen had been locked? [20:31] rww: i know that, but i think unity to much [20:31] actually it is unity 2d, if it matters [20:31] Numn: If you read the second sentence, it tells you how to make it go away. [20:31] Testtube1: Probably all of it. Anything that is run or read when the system boots. i can't imagine anything that would be in there but NOT used during boot time. [20:31] Hold on to your butts... [20:32] tfdev: holding [20:32] rww: yea i know but i have 10.10 right now.. im still want have it like 10.10 but still be updated wihtout unity [20:32] Numn: Please specify what you mean by "like 10.10" [20:32] Testtube1: what's your intend about "memory" ram? [20:32] Numn you can run 11.04 without unity [20:32] Edbian i believe you are correct. So what if i took the system through a process that reimages the system including /dev/sda1 where /boot lives and then the system goes down for a shutdown. Will whatever is in memory write to disk and change the files that i just laid down? [20:33] I think i have a pretty massive issue with 1200 units. [20:33] edbian: Ok 0 error scroll, on ubuntu loading screen... and there's the desktop... much faster [20:33] rww: uhm.. Like without Unity i think.. [20:33] tfdev: hdd is the prob [20:33] Why is there MenuEditor for, if Unity's menus are not customizzable? [20:33] Testtube1: no [20:33] Numn: Then again, consider actually reading the second sentence of what ubottu told you. [20:33] We reimaged 1200 units out in the field /dev/sda1 was the first image that was laid down. the system went down for a reboot came back up normally but now that its time for a forced fsck i am having issues with /boot [20:34] Testtube1: the system usually does not randomly overwrite stuff it doesn't agree with :P [20:34] tfdev: Now fixing it :( the hard part [20:34] Testtube1: What issues are you having? [20:34] edbian When the system comes online with a fsck it makes mention of a file with a modified date that is prior to the laydown of the image? [20:35] can anyone tell me what can i do if the login screen doesn't appears after the screen had been locked? [20:35] edbian: aye. I freqeuntly see ads for hdd fix software... think any of them will help? I have used tuneup utilities before and was happy with performance. [20:35] Tuneup utilites is for windows [20:36] Testtube1: The system time is wrong on either the image or the system that's being imaged. That's my guess [20:36] So fo example if we made a image on 11/19/2010 and distributed to 1200 players on 11/23/2010 once the force fsck comes around it is complaining about inode issues with a file that was modfied on 11/20/2010 [20:36] and i am not sure how that is possible because we blew everything away on 11/23/2010 [20:36] tfdev: That's a waste of time in my opinion. Hang on [20:36] tuneup utilities falls into a similar boat as all the other "pc speed accelerator" programs [20:36] * tfdev is still gripping butt [20:37] Testtube1: Presumably the imaging process is retaining the timestamps from when the files were modified when you were building the image. [20:37] Testtube1: I think the clock is wrong on the remote systems. [20:37] edbian this is on all the systems [20:37] rww: what i meant was that if they are any way to get it like ubuntu 10.10 without unity.. and using that droplist you talking about. [20:37] anyone know why i can't connect to the repositories to update my system? [20:37] and the rest of the time stamps match 11/23/2010 [20:37] pappa_bear, try changing the mirror [20:37] Numn: And as I've said three times now, the second sentence of that factoid is giving you instructions for doing that. [20:37] tfdev: Try to make this: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [20:38] Testtube1: mmm, yes. Wouldn't be wrong on ALL of them [20:38] Testtube1: the rest? [20:38] On my old maverick there was /usr/lib/dri/vdpau_drv_video.so from nvidia-current... where did this file went on Natty? [20:38] edbian the rest of the files in /boot are indeed timestamped 11/23/2010 which matches the deployment of the image. [20:39] Testtube1: I'm not sure what is 'the rest' and what is 'the original' [20:39] can anyone tell me what can i do if the login screen doesn't appears after the screen had been locked? [20:39] Testtube1: This is the timestamp of the file on the image? [20:39] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mactellsupport/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [20:39] edbian we blew /boot EG /dev/sda1 away when we laid the image down. on 11/23/2010 [20:39] however fsck is complaining about a corrupt file with a stamp of 11/20/2010 [20:40] Testtube1: what file? [20:40] in /boot EG /dev/sda1 [20:40] Grub-default [20:40] anyone know of a good hardware chat room? [20:40] #hardware [20:40] Testtube1: what does 'blew away' mean? [20:40] nick12524: ##hardware not #hardware [20:40] ronqbc : try ALT-F6, tyoe in your username:password . Type sudo reboot -n . see if it still does it after a reboot [20:40] mang0: do you understand wat i mean? [20:40] sorry was afk [20:40] what? [20:40] edbian Meaning we laid the image back down using partimage [20:40] edbian: brb. [20:41] numn [20:41] yeah [20:41] mang0: yea i know but i have 10.10 right now.. im still want have it like 10.10 but still be updated wihtout unity [20:41] ubuntu 11.04 with gnome2/3 [20:41] why are window controls on the wrong side of the windows? [20:41] Testtube1: Does the 'corrupt' file exist (with that timestamp) in the image? [20:41] The only way i can make since of the situation is the machine booted on or near 11/20/2010 then we rolled out our image on 11/23/2010 and then had the machine reboot and something from memory wrote down to a file? [20:41] no its 11/23/2010 [20:41] how do you fix them [20:42] mrfoobar: To make room for a feature that never got made! [20:42] haha [20:42] cya guys tommorow! [20:42] well how do you fix this [20:42] and interesting enough if we take a completly clean machine and we lay the image down and FSCK it its completly fine. [20:42] Testtube1: so in the image it's correct but on any machine that got imaged it's wrong? [20:42] edbian: k connected via web. Checking into live usb disk. [20:42] tfdev: sure [20:42] Edbian yes. [20:42] hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz [20:42] tfdev: The live gparted disk has a much better change of booting [20:42] mrfoobar : try some different themes [20:42] its the wrong way on all of them [20:42] rww: can you stop giving me this stuff.. do you even understand what i talk about? [20:42] Testtube1: That is very strange. [20:43] edbian i agree its a pretty big issue :( [20:43] Testtube1: I don't know! :P [20:43] rww: im trying to tell you what i want if its possible [20:43] I am using Natty (w/o Unity) on an intel celeron 2.4GHz with 1gb ram, intel 82845GL graphics card and the system response is laggy....looking for suggestions to improve performance [20:43] I already have the current version of a program on my laptop, but I want to install an older version, how can I have both? [20:43] guys: I have this script that I start like this: sudo start.sh. So how can I add it to the Startup Programs but with sudo privilleges? [20:44] mrfoobar : I think I did mine with "emerald theme manger" now that I think about it [20:44] cyperbg: best way is to put it on /etc/rc.local and it starts after login [20:44] Hey, does one need to do anything spercial to get sshd to run on boot in ubuntu 11.04 after apt-get install? === jofo` is now known as JoFo [20:44] DrSlony: nothing special needed [20:44] exutux, you mean move the script file there? [20:45] ok [20:45] dr_willis will it automatically run after reboot? [20:45] DrSlony: It does by deafult [20:45] Numn: you want ubuntu 11.04 without unity? rww told you how [20:45] thanks [20:45] mrfoobar: hang on [20:45] drslony : nope, other then maybe changing your port for security. Well in 10.04 anyways [20:45] cyperbg: put /path/name_script.sh before exit 0 in that file [20:45] hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz [20:45] exutux I will try, thank you :) [20:45] Somebody know the factoid to get ubottu to tell mrfoobar how to switch the close max min buttons on his windows to the right side [20:45] !controls [20:45] Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more informationand workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 [20:45] cyperbg: remember it run ONLY after login [20:46] I am using Natty (w/o Unity) on an intel celeron 2.4GHz with 1gb ram, intel 82845GL graphics card and the system response is laggy....looking for suggestions to improve performance [20:46] exutux, my user logins automatically, so that won't be a problem, right? [20:46] dr_willis: thanks [20:46] edbian, !controls don't have the instructions anymore, it previously linked to my google-sites page - but I removed the page, and not the IRC admins to update the factoid. [20:46] mrfoobar: Did you see what ? [20:46] whay [20:46] s/not/got/ [20:47] zykotick9: omg [20:47] aikInsaan: more ram, or lubuntu? [20:47] cyperbg: right, but depend about script.... [20:47] i got a tough one, i'm using 10.04 server and i was SSH'd in, out of nowhere i got "remote host closed the connection" and now i can't SSH in, i can't access it over port 80, but i can ping it [20:47] I will try and report back :) [20:47] bahamas10: firewall? [20:47] ThinkT510: Ok, i know exackly. but i mean like erased from the system like its 10.10? [20:47] all of my connections to my server appear to hang, port 80 just stays at loading [20:47] cyperbg: yup [20:47] bahamas : can't do a physical reboot ? [20:47] maco: i am looking for more of a software solution...any configs on Natty that can improve performance? [20:48] edbian: i was thinking that, but i'm SSH'd into a server next to it on a switch, so when i try to ssh from there it shouldn't touch a firewall [20:48] bahamas10: mmm, IDK [20:48] carbon357: i'm actually trouble shooting this remotely [20:48] bahamas10: Is go to it. [20:48] bahamas10: go to the machine, log in locally [20:48] Numn: that is hard to do since unity is a custom shell built on top of gnome components, so i would leave it there [20:48] edbian: that's what i'm gonna try tonight [20:48] bahamas10: it could be its had some filesystem issues. so wanting someone to hit 'ok' for a fsck message. [20:48] bahamas10: nmap it [20:49] i'm thinking a process has pegged a cpu and is not allowing an external connections to be processed [20:49] edbian: i was *eventually* booting into ubuntu, everything was just taking huge amounts of time. Just in case I wasn't clear earlier. Installing tuxboot to seperate flashdrive. [20:49] nmap reveals all the ports open i would expect [20:49] bahamas10 : what other services are running on the server ? [20:49] ThinkT510: so you mean its would make gnome or ubuntu unstable? [20:49] 22,80,443 [20:49] carbon357: it's an nginx server on 80 and 443, and mostly a minecraft server i run for some friends [20:50] Numn: trying to remove unity would likely remove a large part of gnome dependancies, which you need to run gnome [20:50] most likely a process went crazy, spiked to 100% and is stopping new connections from being created [20:50] im thinking of fully making my desktop ubuntu, what vmware can use on. and what ubuntu should i have to do this. [20:50] aikInsaan: if there's file indexing, turn it off. i dont know if there is though. could get rid of avahi daemon i guess. could ditch sane and cups if no printer/scanner. i dont really think there's a way to make an 8 year old machine /not/ be laggy though (celerons are just plain designed slow, for starters) [20:50] hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz [20:50] if i telnet 22 it says connection established, but i never get the openssh server banner [20:50] tfdev: looks good. I've never installed gparted so you're on your own there. Ask me questions if you want but I'll just read the tutorial I linked [20:50] edbian: okay, embarassing nub time: the tut says to make the file executable and gives me a command line.. I enter this into terminal right? [20:51] yes means you chmod +x filename [20:51] tfdev: where are you in the tutorial? [20:51] maco: thanks. i'll look into those areas....i know its a crappy old machine...just wanna make use for small things (like web browsing, little doc editing here, spreadsheet viewing) nothing else (like no video viewing, gaming, etc) [20:52] If using GNU/Linux, make the file executable (using either the command "chmod +x ./tuxboot-linux*" [20:52] edbian: ^^ in terminal? [20:52] ThinkT510: but i can still use 10.10 right? and update? [20:52] yes tfdev [20:52] tfdev open up the terminal browse to the file and type chmod +x filename [20:52] Numn: sure [20:52] # Appears as ANNA [20:52] aikInsaan: for future hardware purchases, i strongly recommend against celeron ;) they cost less because they put less on-chip memory in, so the cpu spends a lot of time going "now where did i put that data?" instead of doing stuff [20:52] tfdev: yes run that command [20:52] thanks folks. i will learn [20:52] !update | Numn [20:52] Numn: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:53] how do you smbmount so normal users have access to it? [20:53] bahamas10 : hmmm. can you netcat any of the ports. any thing returen. Sound like your right about something maybe hanging. Is it on a server farm or something. Think a reboot is the key here [20:53] hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz [20:53] tfdev: Be sure to use my name. [20:54] mrfoobar: if you used the fstab and had a 'users' option. the users could mount/unmount the location set. [20:54] just asking again, if somebody knows, in unity, how can I configure ALT-TAB to exclude minimized windows? [20:54] there is no other way? [20:54] dr_willis: so you can mount without root? [20:54] ThinkT510: i mean like not upgrading to 11.04 and still update some other files that maybe needs to be updated :D [20:54] can't i mount the location as root and have normal users access it? [20:54] mrdeb: via fstab yes.. theres also some fuse smb tools that give you a dynamic 'list of all shares on the network' feature [20:54] maco: thanks for the tip...next my eyes are on macbook (air/pro)- good aren't they? [20:54] edbian: next time I make love to my gf, make her call me edbian? She might not be okay with that but I figure it's the least I can do... [20:54] Numn: not sure what you mean [20:55] ha1dfo: check the settings in the ccsm tool. it can tweak the alt-tab plugin [20:55] !ccsm | ha1dfo [20:55] ha1dfo: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [20:55] dr_willis: o you have to visudo mount too for the user [20:55] tfdev: ha, you're gonna get in trouble with talk like that my friend [20:55] edbian: ten-four, ill keep it pg. [20:55] mrdeb: Huh? [20:55] dr_willis, thank you, i'll check [20:55] tfdev: :) [20:55] aikInsaan: as far as i know, yes. i think theyre using core i5/i7 these days. "celeron" is always the current intel cpu but with that cache cut in half [20:55] so yes [20:56] mrdeb: the fstab file can have a 'users' option for specific mount points.. [20:56] mrdeb: allowing users to mount it. [20:56] ThinkT510: ok like update importan update and still not upgrade to 11.04 ;) === mightymizo is now known as mizo [20:56] carbon357: i'll try nc, it's just a standalone server, but since minecraft is java i'm guessing it spiked ram or cpu and that just messed it all up [20:56] Numn: you can stick with 10.10 if you like [20:57] !eol | Numn [20:57] Numn: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:57] dr_willis: that is for place only. what about hwen it asks for root. will it still ask for root [20:57] mrdeb: it depends on how you are mounting it.. you are not being clear on what you want to do. [20:57] maco: should i expect a lot better experience on lubuntu (or other light weight derivatives)? [20:57] carbon357: nc 10.0.1.10 22 returns nothing, it just hangs [20:57] dr_willis, stupid question: is this ccsm work also with unity-2d? [20:57] bahamas10 : yeah mindcraft is a resource hog eh [20:58] ha1dfo: ccsm is the compiz setting manager.. unity uses compiz, but unity-2d does not. [20:58] aikInsaan: i would think so. it should have fewer background processes running to try to make things "automagic" [20:58] carbon357: yeah, i'm just wondering why now, i ran it for months, so i'm just speculating that minecraft is the culprit [20:58] dr_willis: mounts without root [20:58] sudo update-alternatives --config wish -- What else will that effect? [20:58] carbon357: nc -vvvvv 10.0.1.10 22 [20:58] Connection to 10.0.1.10 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded! [20:58] .... then it hangs [20:58] Noor_egy i think your grub file is wrong. [20:58] dr_willis, I see. Then the alt-tab is done by metacity? [20:58] maco: lubuntu's the way forward then..? [20:58] same with ports 80 and 443 [20:58] mrdeb: make a fstab entry with the users option is the normal way to mount a location as a user. ...... theres no safe way to do a 'let users mount eveyrthing with no limitations' [20:59] ha1dfo: compiz replaces metacity.. [20:59] aikInsaan: thats what we've been recommending for folks in your situation and why it was created :) [20:59] Noor_egy it says menuentry "Windows 7 (on /dev/sdb1)" { [20:59] ha1dfo: compiz has perhaps 4 differnt plugins for the alt-tab task switcher. [20:59] but your fdisk -l [20:59] bahamas10, is this a system you can only access through ssh? [20:59] shows the boot partition on /dev/sda1 [20:59] dr_willis, okay, but cannot run normal unity because of old GPU in laptop, so i can't use unity, i have to use unity 2d, so compiz is out, right? [20:59] Oh, dear. [20:59] ha1dfo: unity-2d does not use compiz. [21:00] ive no idea if unity-2d uses metacity, or mutter.. or what it does.. :) [21:00] okay. [21:00] yep gonna go for it maco [21:00] that sounds too hard dr_willis, so i will use udisks [21:00] dr_willis, ps aux says metacity [21:00] has anyone kept unity? I lasted about 5 minutes with it [21:00] I'm from ubuntu live, I'm looking for diagnostic software, I think my SSD drive is broken. How can I check that? [21:01] edbian: i ran the app after making it executable. Both by double clicking & "sudo ./tuxboot-linux-25" unfortunately nothing happened. No gui, terminal went back to accept another cmd [21:01] ThinkT510: i wish 10.10 is reviving in the future i really like it very much.. i dont like the new upgrades for ubuntu but that's my opinion [21:01] tfdev: let me take a look [21:01] under: I would started with seeing if its detected first [21:02] Numn: you could always try xfce or lxde if you don't like kde or gnome (xfce is my favourite) [21:02] aetas: not always it's seen at BIOS [21:02] tfdev: did you gksudo or sudo it? [21:02] edbian: note* terminal did not ask for su pw [21:02] sudo [21:02] edbian There was a user in here with a question about a booting issue his grub is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ and his fdisk info is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ doesnt it appear that the grub entry down at the bottom refering to win7 is wrong? [21:02] sudo password is cached for a few min by default. [21:03] is there an xclip equivalent for systems that don't have X installed? [21:03] ThinkT510: the thing is that i love gnome but yea your right i think should use another window mangement for my taste [21:03] under: I mean in linux [21:03] Testtube1: hang on [21:03] tfdev: what command did you run? [21:03] !info xclip [21:03] xclip (source: xclip): command line interface to X selections. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12-1 (natty), package size 19 kB, installed size 92 kB [21:03] bahamas10 : interesting. so making connections is not the issue. odd man. I can't think of anything else remotely off the top of my head [21:03] evenin [21:03] aetas: Yes, I can see it. [21:04] sudo ./tuxboot-linux-25 < copy&paste [21:04] bahamas10: you wanting to use the mouse and a clipboard in the console? GPM lets you do that to some degree. [21:04] edbian: ^^ [21:04] aetas: for now yes, only through ssh [21:04] Testtube1: yes def. It's pointing to a harddrive that is not even connected according to fdisk [21:04] dr_willis, I just want to pipe the contents of a file to clipboard [21:04] cat file | xclip [21:04] Thanks edbian [21:04] tfdev: What are you pointing at? [21:04] carbon357: yeah it's weird haha, i wass SSH'd in today to socks proxy my web browsing traffic [21:04] Broseph: then do what with it? === rww is now known as tardis [21:04] then i noticed it died, and now i can't get in again [21:05] tfdev: oh I see it [21:05] ThinkT510: i main thing is that i dont like the unity.. and i any way getting if i update [21:05] pirlo89: you are the n1 [21:05] edbian: it was in the tutorial, since im making it through linuc [21:05] dr_willing, paste it somewhere else of course [21:05] edbian: should I try manual? [21:05] Broseph: into an X app? [21:05] how do the following disk benchmark results sound to people? Timing cached reads = 303.76 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads = 33.23 MB/sec [21:05] tfdev: can I see ls -l tuxboot-linux-25 [21:05] bahamas10 : did you apply any updates or change anything ? [21:06] under: LOL ... i am not that pirlo X) [21:06] -rwxr-xr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 4383772 2011-07-20 20:48 tuxboot-linux-25 [21:06] tfdev: did the file turn green> [21:06] Error: Ubuntu bug 4383772 could not be found [21:06] ? [21:06] edbian: ^^ [21:06] pirlo89: hehehe now he is a juventus player :D [21:06] Testtube1: in the folder, no. In terminal, yes [21:06] dr_willis: no, I'm accessing a server through SSH actually, I was hoping there's a tool that would allow me to paste in my host OS just like the "natural" mechanism of selecting works [21:07] Looks like he has the excute flag there [21:07] tfdev: wait a minute. How are you on linux right now? Is this a liveCD? === Logan_ is now known as Guest1868 [21:07] Testtube1: yes it does [21:07] under: yep, it's so sad seeing him leave [21:07] Numn: i've never liked gnome so i've always stuck with xfce (xubuntu) so i never need to deal with gnome 2/3 or unity [21:07] Broseph: cant say that ive ever seen a clipboard work that way over ssh.. other then whats built into the ssh clients (like putty) [21:07] when a user accesses an nfs share as which user is he identified on the nfs server? [21:07] others? [21:08] Numn: there is also lubuntu (lxde) which is getting high praise too [21:08] ^_^ [21:08] pirlo89: are you milan supporter? [21:08] dr_willis: okay, thanks. Wishful thinking I guess [21:08] ThinkT510: if i want get rid of unity i need to get rid of gnome then? :) [21:08] under: yes, i guess you are a juve supporter ? [21:09] I'm not seeing the part where it's at all important that Unity's installed if you're not using it. [21:09] pirlo89: yes, i'm italian [21:09] ocx: as far as ive ever seen/noticed the nfs server sees him as his normal logged in user. thats how you can have nfs mounted /home/ dirs and so forth. [21:09] ocx: there may be nfs options to force/remap to other user names. [21:09] tfdev: How are you on linux right now? [21:09] Numn: another option is to use the mini iso and install what you want from there (get gnome without unity) [21:09] dr_willis: : i want to map certain users to certain remote users [21:09] !mini | Numn [21:09] Numn: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:10] under: man ... i always wanted to go to italy [21:10] pirlo89: you from? [21:10] ocx: prob. doable. but ive never had the need.

[21:11] Numn: starting with 11.10 there will be no more gnome 2 though (but i think there is a fallback mode in gnome 3 to make it look similar) [21:11] how do u map users to their home directories? [21:11] Numn, FYI if you go the mini route and want only gnome, install the gnome-desktop-environment packages (gnome will fail) [21:11] on a nfs server [21:11] uh oh [21:11] pirlo89: not so close :D [21:11] ThinkT510: so 11.04 and still without any unity then?

[21:12] jen: yes, its ken..lol [21:12] Welcome back tfdev [21:12] I'm from ubuntu live, I'm looking for diagnostic software, I think my SSD drive is broken. How can I check that? [21:13] sorry... im tethering and incoming calls kills connection [21:13] under: yeah i know. I don't want to spam a ubuntu channel, so i guess i will see you later :) [21:13] tfdev: ha, funny [21:13] I wish my company paid for teathering! [21:13] Testtube1: last I said, file was green in terminal [21:13] edbian: oh.. just hilarious [21:13] A question.. is Nivida 096 driver working in the newest build of Ubuntu? [21:13] how can i map users local directory to a remote directory hosted on NFS Server [21:13] tfdev: how are you on linux right now? [21:14] edbian: booted ubuntu from pendrive [21:14] ! [21:14] edbian: hdd still removed [21:14] tfdev: ohh [21:14] Nikyo: any reason to believe that it isn't? for what gfx card, btw? [21:14] ! [21:14] What are you gonna install gparted to? [21:15] edbian: other pen drive :) [21:15] szal: After 10.4, the driver did not work anymore. something to do with the new xorg server that broke the driver and hardware acceleration. [21:15] i want Ubuntu/Gnome/Without_Unity/11.04 :D [21:15] tfdev: ahh [21:16] tfdev: Which tuxboot did you download? clonezilla, drbl, gparted, ... ? [21:16] szal: affected a lot of users.. including me.. genric driver would work but not Nivida 096 Nikyo: and what gfx card? [21:16] Numn, pinguy is your friend [21:16] Nivida Fx Geforce 5200 [21:16] edbian: that phone call was a ride to go get my pet rats some food. Sadly I'll have to leave for a short bit of time. Planning to leave soon? [21:16] AGP [21:16] Numn, if you don't want Unity, check out some of the other Debian based distros - Mint and Debian come to mind ;) [21:17] Nikyo: the FX series takes the nvidia-173 === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [21:17] question: how do I start the GUI from command line? [21:17] Nikyo: and I can confirm that the 173 works [21:17] climbe2, startx [21:17] yes, but ubuntu is my Fave! :) [21:17] startx [21:17] climbe2, or "sudo service gdm start" if you want the login screen [21:17] szal in Ubuntu 11ubuntu 11 [21:17] tfdev: Yeah :( dinner time [21:17] Nikyo: yes [21:17] Numn: Get minimal iso, and make sure to not install Unity. [21:18] edbian: Thanks for everything. I'll be back on and see if I can't get any help. [21:18] mandrake Linux is alive again [21:18] ok thx for all help.. now i know what i can do :) [21:18] testtube1: gonna be on for a bit? :) [21:18] tfdev: good luck [21:18] Does anyone know a good web development channel ? [21:18] I'll try installing ubuntu 11.04 and see if hard ware acceration works.. I'm currently at 10.4 [21:18] still [21:18] tfdev for a little bit there seems to be a channel full of helpful people i am sure you will find someone if you return [21:19] Testtube1: I'll bet. thanks also for your advice. Take care. [21:19] Nikyo: it does work, even though it's still a far cry from GF8+ cards [21:19] how can i view processes in ubuntu so i can kill the one causing problems? [21:20] zykotick9: it says gdm is already running [21:20] Psydoll: ps aux [21:20] Job is already running: gdm [21:20] Psydoll: htop, top, gnome-system-monitor, ...

I'll give it a shot.. one my Pentium 3 with 384 MB of ram.. having no acceleration does not bother me.. (what the point ;-) ) but on this 2 Ghz AMD Althon.. I like it [21:21] I have ubuntu installed on a second partition, but ive cleared out the first partition. How i can i setup the first, and bigger partition as my /home instead of its current location [21:21] my openbox + 2 xchat windows = 110mb ram [21:21] Fuchs: thanks i see the process thats causing the problem how do i kill that one? kill PID? [21:21] climbe2, "sudo service gdm restart" will restart the service then. [21:21] szal: Thanks again, have a good night.. i may be back after the install if time permits. [21:22] Psydoll: yes, that should work. Or pkill, or (with caution) killal.

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) === nummersechs is now known as seemawn [21:26] mandrake: on 11/23/2010 we created a image of /dev/sda1 that contains /boot we deployed it to 1200 ubuntu machines out in the field remotely. Once it came time for a forced fsck it shows data issues with a inode. The file that resides on the inode has a modfied date of 11/20/10 three days prior to when the image was deployed. [21:26] obviously /dev/sda1 eg /boot was rebuilt on 11/23/10 [21:26] why does this one file have a previous time stamp? [21:27] I am thinking... [21:28] * ThinkT510 hears the mighty mandrake cogs starting to whir! [21:28] Hello. [21:29] I would like to ask for help in CentOS, because I couldn't find it's channel. [21:29] mandrake its my understanding that /boot alot of it or all of it is stored in "memory" its my theory that when the system booted on 11/20 and then rebooted on 11/23 after it recieved the image some data was written down to disk from the last time it booted (11/20/10) But i have been told this is not possible [21:29] the next release of MAndrake LInux will have fix to this problem [21:29] Product, centos? [21:29] Yes Sudokill. [21:29] product /join #centos then [21:30] if you are in a computer everithyng is possible [21:30] Ok [21:30] Thank you very much. [21:30] /join #centos [21:30] oops [21:30] mandrake you are hurting my brain :( [21:30] lame trolls [21:30] /join #centos [21:30] Can you please help: how can I edit a whole directory with sed? I want to change all the .m4a file extensions in directory 'Album' to .mp3 [21:31] Product: try without a whitespace in front [21:31] Testtube1: Do you have "mother" image somwhere? [21:31] I can't join :( [21:31] P05TMAN: that's not what sed is for. Look into "man rename" [21:31] It says it's not registered. [21:31] qin: yes i do and i verified the time stamp is correct on the master image. [21:31] !register > Product [21:31] Product, please see my private message [21:31] P05TMAN: You just want to change the file names? [21:31] Ok, thanks :) [21:31] I also verified with md5sum that the file that was transfered remotely is the same. [21:31] you ant to change the extension or the format? [21:31] hi folks. I've switched to teh open source ati driver on teh basis that I might be able to see compiz working for fun this evening, so I wonder if anyone has been through this process and got it working before me [21:32] Terry: yes, the file extensions actually [21:32] qin md5 check was actually performed prior to laying down the image. [21:32] I would like to get only some help with the VPS, it has no GUI. [21:32] I'm on natty, I don't usually run the open source ati driver as it gets up to 65 degrees hotter than with fglrx and then I bottle it and switch off [21:32] Testtube1: Did you try to deploy it, and simulate "problem"? [21:32] Tardis: I will check that out, thank you [21:32] I would be pleased if someone can chat with me on PM. [21:32] qin: I did actually if i take a clean box and do it manually it works fine. [21:33] Product: just ask your questions in the channel, and if someone can help they will [21:33] It's actually a server setup. [21:33] can anyone recomend a twitter client for ubuntu [21:33] which tells me the problem isnt with the img file [21:33] Product: just ask your questions [21:33] A MineCraft server, it's not that hard to set it up. [21:33] Product: if you are running centos ask in #centos (you need to register your nick) [21:33] But I don't know what commands to use. [21:33] Ok, thanks :) [21:33] ikonia, he is using Centos not ubuntu [21:34] Product: ahh, sorry, I missed that you where running Centos [21:34] is there any way to make usb booteable with alternative cd ? [21:34] my current problem is that having switched to the ati open source driver (I'm sure of that), when I attempt to start anything that involves compiz the desktop flashes on and off repeatedly [21:34] Thanks anyways :) [21:34] terry: just the file extensions [21:34] P05TMAN: Try this: for i in *.m4a; do mv "$i" "`basename "$i" .m4a`.mp3"; done [21:34] I get this Error benchmarking: helper exited with exit code 1: Error reading 104857600 bytes at 104857600 from /dev/sda when guesstimating buffer size: Input/output error [21:34] I want to benchmark my disk [21:34] Product: if you don't want to register your nick you could try a related channel like #fedora (red hat based) [21:34] qin: any additional thoughts? [21:34] does anyone know, did compiz just get completely banjaxed for natty+ati and hang the consequences? am I wasting my time? [21:35] Testtube1: no, that is not the channels process, that is for Fedora support [21:35] Oh ok [21:35] Thanks bro's :) [21:35] ikonia what? [21:35] Testtube1: #fedora is for Feodra support, not Centos support [21:35] I never asked for fedora support or centos support? [21:35] Hello. I'm a new Ubuntu user. Where can I find my clipboard history? [21:35] ikonia: i realise that [21:35] just register the nic [21:35] You have me confused with a different user. [21:35] Testtube1: Not really, moment [21:36] Testtube1: darn it, sorry, I meant that for ThinkT510 [21:36] Testtube1: my apologies [21:36] vlt, afaik there isnt one [21:36] ubottu: ping [21:36] On an intel celeron 2.4GHz with 1gb ram, intel 82845GL graphics card....Lubuntu or Xubuntu? [21:36] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to respond to factoid requests. Call that job satisfaction? Because I don't. [21:36] aikInsaan: whatever you prefer, with those specs you'll be fine for everything but heavy compiz use [21:37] aikInsaan: and other heavy processing like some compiling and rendering models [21:37] ubottu: ping [21:37] Octodigit: can you please stop that [21:37] aeon-ltd: okay...cheers! [21:38] ah, I can be seen. OK, cool, that removes the need to do that. Thanks [21:38] how do the following disk benchmark results sound to people? Timing cached reads = 303.76 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads = 33.23 MB/sec [21:38] sudokill: No clipboard history? Whose idea was this? [21:38] vlt, im not 100% sure [21:38] when you copy something usually its the only thing [21:38] vlt: you can use something like glipper if you need that. [21:38] theres probably a load of progs that let you keep a history [21:39] Pici: I'll try glipper. Thank you. [21:39] how many weeks should I patiently wait in silence after asking whether anyone's experienced the same issue as me, before I conclude I'm stupid? [21:39] heh [21:39] ah well. [21:39] vlt: I like parcellite, personally. [21:39] peace, voluntary support type persons, later [21:40] terry: mv: cannot stat [21:40] hi in lucid, there is the network-manager-applet in the panel, there i can de/activate the network. What is the correspondign console command ? [21:40] Would anybody have an idea as to why a kernel driver would work on the live cd/usb but not after an install? [21:41] vlt: There's glipper [21:41] hudo: sudo service networking stop [21:41] terry:Nevermind, I typo'd; terminal genius you are [21:41] hudo, N-M doesn't have a console command. You can use /etc/network/interfaces to setup your connections, which will disable N-M from managing them. [21:41] hudo: Or, less barbaric, use: ifconfig [21:42] zykotick9: nmcli [21:42] qin, are you saying /etc/network/interfaces is "barbaric" :P [21:42] P05TMAN: NP [21:42] zykotick9: No, service stop [21:43] Would anybody have an idea as to why a kernel driver would work on the live cd/usb but not after an install? [21:43] which driver? [21:43] qin, nmcli doesn't appear to have a Debian package... [21:43] aeon-ltd: what are lubuntu or xubuntu come with workspace limits? i.e. will I have multiple workspaces and if so what's the max number allowed? [21:43] Foxx: Yes [21:43] um. wow. The messaging menu just found XChat automatically for me...did I do something? [21:43] rt8187 [21:43] Foxx- Bitch [21:43] !info nmcli [21:43] Package nmcli does not exist in natty [21:43] qin, cnetworkmanager perhaps? [21:43] what are lubuntu and xubuntu workspace limits* [21:44] dawid: What? [21:44] !info nm-tool [21:44] Package nm-tool does not exist in natty [21:44] rt8187 - wireless driver? [21:44] Byes. [21:44] Testtube1: yup....thatd be the one [21:44] is there any way to make usb booteable with alternative cd ? [21:45] zykotick9: No, nmcli (not sure what package is it) [21:45] aguitel, you could try using unetbootin don't see why it wouldn't work, but never tried. [21:45] qin: Are you lookong for mtools ? [21:45] Foxx which version of ubuntu? [21:45] zykotick9, not working [21:45] Tradis-mouth whore, control yourself [21:45] terry: No [21:45] aikInsaan: how many workspaces do you need? [21:46] testtube1: 10.04 and up...I have had the issue on every single ubuntu install [21:46] zykotick9: nmcli comes with network-manager (from 0.8.1+) [21:46] qin, does "dpkg -S nm-tool" give any output? [21:46] ThinkT510: well 4 at least... [21:46] hudo: nmcli can also disable network. [21:46] tardis, terry: Thank you. [21:47] Does notepad++ exist for ubuntu? [21:47] aikInsaan: xfce definitly does a lot more than 4 (i use 6 regularly) [21:47] cook1es_: no [21:47] ThinkT510: and lubuntu? [21:47] qin, is this own package, or does t belong to another package ? [21:47] ikonia: thanks === tardis is now known as rww [21:47] modprobe rtl8187 ? [21:47] aikInsaan: not sure, but i'd guess more than 4 [21:47] hudo: It should be installed, man nmcli [21:47] Can someone suggest a equally or better text-editor like Notepad++? [21:48] cool, thanks ThinkT510 [21:48] cook1es_: vim, gvim [21:48] aikInsaan: no worries :) [21:48] qin: looks good, thanks [21:49] Testtube1: modprobe? it is rtl8187 for realtek. I am not sure what you were asking [21:49] cook1es_: vim [21:49] cook1es_: It is very powerfull editor, seed plugins to match your needs [21:49] *see [21:50] cook1es_: or you could use notepad++ in wine (yeah, not an elegant solution) [21:50] Foxx its being found but not connecting? is that the issue? [21:50] cook1es_, gedit [21:50] cook1es_: geany [21:51] Testtube1: No, it works perfect on the live cd, but after I install...the system doest see it. [21:51] Foxx: Is this a laptop? [21:52] Foxx: lspci |grep ireless [21:52] terry: No this is a custom built desktop. the card is a usb dongle [21:52] Foxx do you have any other way of getting online other than wireless on the desktop? [21:53] Testtube1: Not at home...I brought the tower over to a relatives to see if I could get help. [21:54] Foxx: What does lspci say about it? [21:54] terry: it gave me no feedback. O.o [21:54] Foxx: as terry requested it would be helpful it you showed the results of lspci [21:54] Foxx: remove dongle, in terminal: tail -f /var/log/dmesg, connect dongle... [21:55] Foxx: That card does need proprietary drivers i think [21:55] terry: I just tried again. I will pastebin it [21:55] If you could get to hardware drivers from system/admin [21:55] you may be able to luck out. [21:55] Foxx: What does lsusb say about it? [21:55] terry: http://pastebin.com/XYYh4z2a [21:56] terry: http://pastebin.com/qWnc1b2U [21:56] Hello all, I am beginning the process of (attempting) to teach myself C. Can anyone recommend a good IDE that is supported in Ubuntu 11.04 or should I just such it up and use gedit + gcc? [21:57] suck* [21:57] Hey, has anybody here have any experience with using Ubuntu and FakeRAIDs? [21:57] Foxx: lsmod |grep 818 [21:57] jamesdc: dont use fakeraids, use software-raids [21:57] When trying to save index.html in /var/www/ I get Permission denied. How do I give myself permission? [21:57] jamesdc: yes, and I strongly advise against it [21:57] jamesdc, softwar raid using LVM is better to manage [21:57] I would but I still need to be able to duel boot and use windows [21:58] is there a checksum tool be default in ubuntu? [21:58] RichardRaseley: check out geany [21:58] aikInsaan: md5sum, sha1sum, sha256sum.. [21:58] thanks [21:58] jamesdc: ok so windows should also be on raid [21:59] Hello is there a way to ftp in ubuntu directly from the command line without using a client like filezilla? [21:59] cook1es_, save it as root [21:59] Is it possible to have a "half" software raid, so that half the disk would be used for a software raid and the rest of it would be just be normal? [21:59] Psydoll: yes, "ftp" is the command [21:59] jamesdc: sure [21:59] Psydoll: theres the classic command line 'ftp' client..... [21:59] ikonia: dr_willis ty [21:59] Psydoll: been around for.. err.. decades :) [21:59] jamesdc: raid is build on partitons not on drives [21:59] terry: http://pastebin.com/a2QdsAh8 [21:59] sudokill: thanks! How do I do that? [21:59] Psydoll: be sure to set transfers to 'binary' type.. ;) [21:59] cook1es_, are you editing a file? [21:59] Excellent, thanks iceroot [22:00] cook1es_, if so, edit it as root [22:00] e.g. sudo nano, gksudo gedit etc [22:00] dr_willis: that just kind of put me off, what do you mean set to binary type? [22:00] sudokill: No, trying to create a new one and putting it there [22:00] Terry, grep 818 is still going [22:00] Foxx: lsmod |grep 818 [22:00] cook1es_, you can make it as user and use root to copy / move it [22:00] Foxx: Stop it! You scanning whole drive. [22:00] Foxx: Ctrl-c ; lsmod |grep 818 [22:00] Foxx that last thing you did looks wrong [22:01] I am trying to upgrade 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS. I have followed this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades. When I run do-release-upgrade it fails. Looking at the logs it is trying to insert a archive source for dapper instead of what is on old-releases. Is there a way to get this upgraded? [22:01] Psydoll: ftp can do binary, or 'ascii' transfers.. years ago it defaulted to ascii, whoch could screw up binary files.. you always had to rember to tell ftp to use binary for its transfers.. [22:01] Terry, from that, I get no feedback at all [22:01] Psydoll: really in this day and age.. you should be uysing ssh and scp.. and forget ftp even exists [22:01] Foxx he is asking you to grep for 818 which i am assuming because of the model [22:01] simprix: You would be much better either with fresh install, or having medieval version of Ubuntu. [22:02] sudokill: The paste is grayed out when I right click inside the /www/ folder [22:02] Foxx: modprobe rtl8187 [22:02] dr_willis: thanks im using it now [22:02] cook1es_, you dont use the paste button [22:02] Psydoll: read up at ---> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie [22:02] Foxx please run the command i mentioned at the beggining. [22:02] cook1es_, sudo cp or mv [22:02] terry: rtl8187 uses modules named 'wl' or 'b43', depending on which driver you go with. [22:02] modprobe rtl8187 ? [22:02] terry: oh, wait, no, I'm getting mixed up between my two computers >.> [22:02] qin, So your teling me that this won't work because the mirrors have been moved to old-releases but this would of worked before 6/31 [22:02] Terry: http://pastebin.com/52YQZ4f8 [22:03] * rww needs to sleep more [22:03] simprix: It will just take longer to upgarde. [22:03] Foxx are you root? [22:03] sudokill: im supernew with the terminal, do I just type like sudo mv /desktop/ /var/www/ ?? [22:03] Foxx: sudo modprobe rtl8187 [22:03] :) [22:04] cook1es_, yes, sudo mv (the file) to (the location) [22:04] Testtube1: No, he's not root, he's Foxx :) [22:04] hehe [22:04] cook1es_, tell me the the file and where you want to put it [22:05] Terry: good one :p and I ran the line, but got no feedback [22:05] Foxx: I am Excited what was the results? [22:05] Foxx: See if it works. [22:05] Foxx: i think that is normal [22:05] Question: what are the recommended gems to look at for offloading background jobs from a rails application to another computer. Ex: processing a large text file, it is uploaded and passed to another computer which handles the processing then returns a status once complete. most articles I can find are two years old. Some recommend backgroundrb and some say stay away. But all old articles .... [22:05] Should work now Foxx [22:06] sudokill: oh cool! I experimented abit and did sudo geany and had root access with geany then. you probably said that though haha. anyways just for the knowledge sake.. from desktop/index.html to var/www/ [22:06] Testtube1: it is recognized but it says the device is not managed [22:06] Oh crap... sorry wrong channel === rewt`` is now known as rewt [22:07] cook1es_, yea you can run any app as root with sudo. but for graphical apps use gksu or gksudo, its not needed most of the time but good practice [22:07] halo [22:07] sudokill: I assume that will cause the app not to close when I press ctrl+c? [22:07] I think you need to change managed=false to true [22:07] qin, Thats fine. These are production servers. I plan to go from 6.06 to 8.04 to 10.04 [22:07] cook1es_, no any app will close with ctrl c most the time [22:08] Testtube1: how do I do that? O.o [22:08] sudokill: ah, what is the point of gksudo and is it possible to avoid that ctrl c thing? [22:08] cook1es_, just dont press ctrl+c [22:08] lol [22:08] gksudo has nothing to do with ctrl-c.... [22:08] what is inside /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [22:08] !6.06 [22:08] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support ended on June 1st 2011. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [22:09] sudokill: lol [22:09] Testtube1, Okay.. I will check. give me a sec [22:09] ctrl-c = the unix/linux/old-skool standard for 'closeing' an app/killing it.. them MS took it over for 'copy/paste' [22:09] i have just downloaded lubuntu 11.04 (32bit) and checked the md5 checksum on the torrented iso...which matches but when i run 'usb-creator.exe' it reports a ' End-of-central-directory signature not found...' error [22:09] Foxx: I am not sure about this part But i think there will be a statement that says false in there. [22:09] an suggestions on what could have gone wrong? [22:09] Foxx: that needs to be true. [22:09] or possibly what my noob hands are doing incorrectly? [22:09] aikInsaan, you might try unetbootin [22:10] testtube1: okay. I changed it [22:10] foxx [22:10] Foxx before you make changes make a backup of the file [22:10] would be my suggestion === e0s is now known as e0sx [22:10] aikInsaan, no idea [22:10] aikInsaan, are you opening the .exe from windows or gnu/linux? [22:10] dr_willis: and then linux followed with it and changed close window to ctrl + w? :P [22:10] sudokill: thanks alot btw, it was very helpful [22:10] ok [22:10] Foxx: did that do anything? [22:10] zykotick9: sorry i should have mentioned...i am on natty [22:11] so linux [22:11] testtube1: nope [22:11] cook1es_: actually that would be the WIndowmanger designers.. not linux. :) [22:11] dr_willis: Hello, I have used the FTP program to successfully download from my shell a file, though "put" a file on the shell account is harder, how to i specify which file i want to "put" there ie put thefilename.jpg for example? [22:11] I am trying to run httpd (apache) on ubuntu server but I'm getting "/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I ran "whereis libpcre.so.0" and it does exist in several places. Do I need to make a symbolic link somewhere? [22:11] aikInsaan, that's why you're getting that error. The EXE is opening in file-roller. [22:11] testtube1: would a log out / log in help at this point? [22:11] Foxx: does it still say not managed? [22:11] Psydoll: exactly that, put $filename [22:11] aikInsaan, usenthye natty usb creator .exe=windows [22:11] Testtube1: yup.... [22:11] ikonia: the $ is important? [22:11] let me try [22:11] Foxx: please try that. [22:11] how do I get the full cmdline of a pid from /proc? (/proc/pid/cmdline seems to be truncated to the first 4096 bytes) [22:11] Hello, I just dual installed win 7 and ubuntu, ubuntu being the first install, it ate the bootloader, does it matter what live cs version i use tryingt o reinstall grub? [22:12] Foxx: Is this machine online now? [22:12] Psydoll: no [22:12] Psydoll: eg: put /etc/hosts [22:12] Psydoll: it was an example file name [22:12] ab555, yes [22:12] Psydoll: this is when you check the ftp docs. and online tutorials for the ftp command line client.. ive not used it in 20 years. there are command line file managers like 'mc' that can do ftp with a nice ncurses gui. i strongly suggest learning SSH and SCP... [22:12] ikonia: thank you i was unsure if i had to list the directory [22:12] Foxx: Are you plugged in to a wired network now? Or...? [22:12] simprix: What how to did you follow? [22:12] ab555, what is the ubuntu install? [22:12] nit-wit: aha! is that called wubi? [22:12] nit-wit: im running ubuntu 10.10 [22:12] Foxx : please run this sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart [22:12] Foxx: and this sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:12] nit-wit: dont see a live cs for that on their website [22:12] !grub | nit-wit [22:12] nit-wit: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[22:13] dr_willis: do you the the ftp command line client is completely outdated and it would be more beneficial to learn ssh and scp? [22:13] ab555, Natty needs a natty but 10.10 could use another,. What live cd's do you have? [22:13] is anybody here familiar with Apache web server? [22:13] ryan__: yes === jeremy is now known as Guest4843 [22:13] nit-wit: 10.04 [22:13] ikonia: I am trying to run httpd (apache) on ubuntu server but I'm getting "/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I ran "whereis libpcre.so.0" and it does exist in several places.

[22:13] qin, Do you have any suggestions or a kb article === Mario021 is now known as Beretta021 === SixEch0_ is now known as SixEch0 [22:14] ab555, probably okay, personally I would use a 10.10 === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ === Oer is now known as OerHeks [22:14] Psydoll: ive said several times... learn ssh/scp/sftp and forget ftp ever existed.... [22:14] qin, Do you have any suggestions or a kb article [22:14] Was that a netsplit? [22:14] nit-wit: where can i get a 10.10 iso? [22:14] ryan__: Use locate [22:14] ryan__: apache from the ubuntu package manager is not installed in /usr/local/apache - how did you install it [22:14] simprix: http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?id=upgrade_ubuntu-server_lts_to_lts [22:14] dr_willis: I will thanks [22:14] ab555, hold on [22:14] Testtube1, ^ that ^ [22:14] Testtube1: one of the servers went nuts [22:14] ikonia: I built it myself. === me is now known as Guest22154 [22:14] Psydoll: thres also fuse-ftp tools that can mount a remote ftp server to a local directory.. (not used them however) [22:15] ryan__: ok, why ? Ubuntu packages a fully compatible and supported version [22:15] Welcome back Foxx [22:15] Testtube1: It didnt do anything :/ [22:15] qin, That would work fine. But those sources aren't valid as they are now on old-releases [22:15] Foxx did you run [22:15] Foxx : please run this sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart [22:15] ikonia: I guess out of curiosity. I'm just frustrated that I can't get it working. I'm sure I had the same problem on my CentOS server too. [22:15] Foxx: and this sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:15] I forget how I fixed it === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi [22:15] Hi, all... [22:16] What do I have to do to get the eject command to recognize my CD/DVD drive? [22:16] ryan__: suggest using the ubuntu version [22:16] ok [22:16] ab555, http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ I assume you know how to reoload grub, would you like a link for that.;) [22:16] qin, When I try to run do-release-upgrade it fails as it is continuing to try to use a mirror on archive which isn't valid anymore. [22:16] JoAnneThrax: eject can take a /dev/sr0 type option. if its using the wrong device i recall. [22:16] nit-wit: found something on the forums that should suffice, thanks man [22:16] Hi I have strange problem, when I deleted some files with pcmanfm they went to ~/local/share/Trash, then I deleted them from there, they dissappeared but they still taking up space [22:16] Testtube1: it still says the same thing [22:17] Foxx when you edited the file are you sure it saved your changes? [22:17] dr_willis: thanks...that worked. Is there a way to make it the default? [22:17] ab555, coo, good luck. [22:17] what's the command to format a usb stick? [22:17] *cool* [22:17] ?mformat [22:17] Testtube1: I will go and check. [22:17] aikInsaan: Same as for any other disk. What fs do you want to use? [22:17] Did this happen to anyone? I asumed that when I delete files from Trash folder they'll be gone [22:17] JoAnneThrax: never noticed.. never needed to. change it.. you could check the man pages for eject. or make an alias spititout='eject /dev/sr0' (or somting like that) [22:18] aikInsaan: mkdosfs is probably what you want. Right? [22:18] aikInsaan, use gparted or the disk utility [22:18] Testtube1: what was the file location? [22:18] terry: any suggestion for foxx now that the device is found it says unamanged? [22:18] terry: ntfs i reckon...want to prep it for lubuntu [22:18] Edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and set managed=true [22:18] dr_wills where do I put that alias? .bashrc or something? [22:18] aikInsaan: First do sudo fdisk -l and make sure which partition it is. [22:18] JoAnneThrax: yes. theres alias's in there allready for examples [22:19] "If omitted, name defaults to `cdrom'" [22:19] aikInsaan: So what is it? /dev/sdb1 or.... what? [22:19] hello. i'm having trouble getting zonet (ralink) wifi n pci card working in 11.04. I've followed the instructions in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1728899 but wifi still isn't coming on. [22:19] I wonder if there's a way to make it recognize that cdrom is /dev/sr0 [22:19] terry: its /dev/sdb1 [22:20] Testtube1: Yes, it was set === bluemoon is now known as Guest21300 [22:20] Foxx: :( [22:20] aikInsaan: If you're sure that's it, then do sudo mkdosfs /dev/sdb1 [22:20] Foxx: is there a toggle for only for the device? [22:20] on and *off? [22:21] qin, do you have any other suggestions [22:21] terry: okay..thanks! will report if any probs [22:21] Oh, I figured it out...my computer has /dev/cdrom1 symlinked to /dev/sr0 [22:21] Testtube1: do you mean on the dongle? If you do, no there isnt. [22:21] Foxx: iwconfig #What does that say about it? [22:22] how can I restart my apache server on ubuntu? [22:22] hi how do i purge unity? [22:22] Terry: http://pastebin.com/1dXe0xmM [22:22] cook1es_: service [22:22] aikInsaan: Note that if you give the wrong device to mkdosfs you will lose all data on that device... [22:23] Mandrew, purge unity? [22:23] terry: its says 'mkdosfs: /dev/sdb1 contains a mounted file system.' [22:23] cook1es_: or: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [22:23] hm. after a make install of drivers for my ralink wifi card, i did a modprobe. do i need to do anything else to get the card to work on ubuntu? [22:23] simprix: Hm, have found drapper iso, but no active mirror ;( [22:23] problem solved. Thanks, dr_willis [22:23] how can i prevent the screen from idle blank page? [22:23] testtube1: did you see this: http://pastebin.com/1dXe0xmM [22:24] aikInsaan: If you have it mounted, it must be already formatted. Why do you want to format it if it is already formatted? [22:24] thephased: that's what I did :) [22:24] Foxx: I am not a smart man but that looks positive. [22:24] simprix: http://www.elakiri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=224419 ??? [22:24] i did an lspci -nn on the card, and it is the right drivers for the right card. [22:24] aikInsaan: (It is not good to try and format a filesystem that is mounted.) [22:24] do i need to logout of ubuntu first or reboot? [22:24] it'll stick around until you upgrade your kernel (keep the configured makefile and source package around) [22:24] aikInsaan: mount #What does that say about it? [22:25] hm oh ok babble. [22:25] thephased, rebooting is easiest [22:25] sudokill, yes purge, un-install [22:25] Testtube1: any ideas? [22:25] qin, I found other mirrors. But do-release-upgrade still tries to use archive.ubuntu.com for something [22:25] im reinstalling, which do i backup .mozilla-thunderbird or .thunderbird [22:25] terry: putting lubuntu on it using unetbootin....so i am good to simply delete the data off it and carry on i guess [22:25] can you paste ifconfig? [22:25] how can i prevent the screen from idle blank page? the screen goes black everytime i watch a movie ;/ [22:25] oh, doh, rebooting is your only real option, it's a kernel extension, not a module. heh. (I can be a newb, sorry) [22:25] aikInsaan: Yea, just delete the files. [22:25] Mandrew, i, not sure if thatd mess anything up. [22:25] oi it says its not connecting to a AP [22:25] would there be any problem using regular ralink drivers on ubuntu 64-bit? could that be why it isn't working? [22:26] Mandrew, use classic gnome on login [22:26] Mandrew, if you dont like it use the fallback or another distro [22:26] ubuntu = unity [22:26] thephased, did you compile it from the source package? If so, your compiled driver is 64 bit for you :) [22:26] Testtube1: http://pastebin.com/58GVb23V [22:26] terry: I think im stuck in gksudo geany how do I get out of that without closing geany? [22:26] !classic | Mandrew [22:26] Mandrew: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". === UNBELIEVABLE is now known as jean [22:26] hm, i don't think i compiled it. i just did a make then make install. i didnt do a "./" [22:26] thephased: If you are asking if you can use 32-bit stuff on a 64-bit system, the answer is yes, (if you load 32-bit libraries) [22:27] hi guys, any idea why ican't join ircfreenode with android hotspot access with t-mobile internet? [22:27] oh ok. thanks terry, ill try rebooting then [22:27] does this server block from accessing with phone? [22:27] thephased, you compiled :) Make and Make Install are compiling from source, not installing a downloaded binary [22:27] thephased: 'make' _is_ compiling [22:27] cook1es_: I dono, don't think you can. What are you tring to do? [22:27] you're MAKEing a binary that you then install (that's the make install bit) [22:27] Foxx [22:27] Foxx: one sec [22:27] haha alright [22:27] dont think I can? [22:27] when you ran make, it compiled for your CPU (so that will be 64 bit on 64-bit processors) [22:28] but keep the source package around. [22:28] you'll need to make/make install again when the kernel updates [22:28] terry: well I want to keep my geany up with sudo access.. while I use terminal for other stuff :/ any ideas? [22:30] Foxx iwconfig comes to mind but i am not sure if could walk you through that. [22:30] I just installed another OS and finally got my grub back but I don't have hte option to boot back into Ubuntu. [22:30] Where can I find the code to put on menu/lst to get it to boot up? [22:30] Anyone know what package openldap is under now? I need the PPKlite.api to get the acroread plugin working... [22:30] Testtube1: erm...I can run the command? [22:31] Nevermind my question. [22:31] Foxx i would man iwconfig [22:31] I am not familiar enough with iwconfig to walk you through it remotely [22:32] Wait...I seem to have it...it's just not working. [22:32] Perhaps someone here can [22:32] terry: What do you think? [22:32] i'm having another problem actually. and i think it's a simple fix, but i don't know how to add it to my usb stick for every boot. im getting "NET: Registered protocol family 1" every time i boot. Isn't that something to do with apci? [22:32] like i need to add noacpi [22:32] Testtube1: I cannot stay on much longer.

They keep coming back everytime you run do-release-upgrade [22:36] Testtube1: would a reboot do anything at all?? [22:36] ikonia: im curious how long have you been using linux? [22:36] what is your ssid foxx? [22:37] Testtube1: I am not at home... I cant check [22:37] or is it hidden [22:37] simprix: Yes, # main repos, and update with working mirror, so you get only "Hit".

[22:59] slicslak, because of complaints that some are old there is a new protocol [22:59] slicslak, qin: example of a link please [23:00] szal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455644 [23:00] http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+some+question+here first link is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219913 [23:00] slicslak, szal http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1807689 [23:00] qin: old thread moved to archive [23:01] slicslak: same for your link [23:01] so the googles is outdated then [23:01] annoying. it's been happening quite a lot for me lately [23:01] slicslak: Neat! [23:02] slicslak: "The Archives have been restricted to logged in users because we had complaints that old fixes from old threads were breaking user systems." [23:02] lol [23:02] s'pose that makes sense [23:03] nit-wit: thx for the pointer [23:03] szal, no problem I had read it yesterday.;) [23:04] hey all [23:06] Hi all. I cannot understand why I have not the permission to write: http://pastebin.com/5dZxeQRd [23:07] under: because root is not the owner of the file, and the permission for "other" is set to read only [23:07] I have a computer on 11.04 that randomly freezes - when this happens while playing a movie it loops the last 1-2 secs of sound. I cannot move mouse or give any commands using a keyboard - computer is totally dead and I can only turn it off by holding the power button. It is using unity and has nvidia - and I did try upgrading to a newer kernel (39) but same problem [23:08] under, chmod a+w or chown root the file [23:08] hi guys. [23:08] i have this hella problem... got a new foxcon am3 board [23:08] guys a download through sftp terminal is frozen, saying "stalled" [23:08] what can I do to resume it :) [23:08] webad_13: smells like a hardware issue [23:09] and my usb wifi linksys dongle that works on my #! 9.4 will not work on lubuntu 1o.1o [23:10] szal, bl4ckcomb that directory was created from this pc (ubuntu) via shares-admin and I gave the permission to write [23:10] under: to your normal user, yes [23:10] szal: hmmm, I am afraid of that too - graphics had an issue before and was "fixed"... processor was potentially damaged during some overclocking... there is a lot of material for hardware issues to be honest. I just googled a bit and I saw that quite some people had problems with 11.04 random freezes [23:11] wusb54gc [23:11] szal: would the crash be logged someplace in /var/log ? [23:12] szal, so, how can I write? [23:12] under: What shares? [23:12] webad_13: most probably not.. you could boot a live CD after a crash & see if some log has anything (logs are usually re-created after reboot) [23:13] qin, shares-admin [23:14] webad_13, you could check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any errors reported however ,, ongoing errors ,, [23:14] under: You mean smb sshfs nfs? Both machines linux? Using root on shares is quite strange. [23:15] coz_, webad_13: for the previous X session there is /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old [23:15] szal, this is true ..yes [23:16] qin, http://goo.gl/ZoVnq, yes, the server is ubuntu, the client is a dreambox, a sat decoder [23:19] under: Need some reading, cool hardware, this dreambox. [23:20] hh [23:20] is there something like "nm-applet" for lxde? [23:20] nit-wit: you there? im on the live cd, im issuing the command in grub: find /boot/grub/stage1 but it cant find it === CasTro is now known as fest === fest is now known as castro === castro is now known as Castro [23:21] iceroot, mm not sure,, did you check in #lxde channel? [23:21] How can I continue using the Terminal after using sudo gkedit? === Castro is now known as Castro_ [23:21] cook1es_: & [23:22] coz_: i will have a look, mainchannel doesnt seem to be on freenode [23:22] iceroot: i thought lubuntu/lxde used the gnome network manager applet.. [23:22] cook1es_: Alternately, ctrl z, then bg [23:22] dr_willis, ah yes I forgot about lubuntu :) [23:22] cook1es_: 'gksudo gedit &' === Castro_ is now known as fest [23:22] dr_willis: if i am correct its using wicd instead of network-manager and nm-applet is only working with network-manager === fest is now known as ptz === ptz is now known as CasTro_ [23:23] aa555, [23:23] I'm here [23:23] iceroot: i dident notice it using wicd on this pc last week.. but ive reinstalled since then. so dont have lubuntu here any more === CasTro_ is now known as Castro_ === Castro_ is now known as CasTro_ [23:23] I don't know what to do nit-wit it can't find the stage1 file [23:23] You can install the normal network manager and it should work id imagine if it is using wicd [23:23] brb [23:24] aa555, follow this link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy%20LiveCD%20Files [23:24] dr_willis: i was wiping out everything from ubuntu-desktop and installing lubuntu-desktop and there is no networki-manager. but if it is possible to use network manager with nm-applet i will use that because there is nothing better then nm-applet [23:24] aa555, this is for grub2 [23:24] nit-wit: ok [23:24] ciao [23:25] aa555, the link defaults to reloading grub2 from the live cd, just the fdisk comand to identify the partition then the next to commands then reboot [23:25] dr_willis: ajh network-managewr is still there, just nm-applet has gone [23:25] *to=twoP [23:26] dr_willis, corey, lol: http://localhostr.com/files/RzxO8fH/capture.png [23:27] How do I disable startup nofication? [23:27] How does ifconfig choose adapter names? Is there a limit of 12 adapters? [23:27] I've noticed that after 12, I start getting some funky names -- ie: eth6-eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:c8:3a:95:e8 [23:28] dr_willis: i was wiping out everything from ubuntu-desktop and installing lubuntu-desktop and there is no networki-manager. but if it is possible to use network manager with nm-applet i will use that because there is nothing better then nm-applet2 to or something similiar to change volumen-control and see new mails on lxde? [23:28] Lewoco, you want specific things right? [23:28] nit-wit, No, I want to totally disable it. [23:28] What does ATTRS{id} match in udev .rules? Does it match the vendor:device pair given by lsubs? [23:28] pc500: ifconfig is not choosing the names, its udev. there is no limit [23:28] nit-wit: how do i know if i have a separate boot partition?

[23:29] iceroot: - Any reason why udev decided to use a name like "eth6-eth4"? [23:29] pc500: Tu estas en los semaforos, estas grabado en video. [23:29] user_: Sure.

[23:29] aa555, the windows 7 probably installed a bootmanager, but grub will see it. [23:29] aa555, a W& boot partition [23:30] W7 [23:30] trying to get the bot kicked? [23:30] nit-wit: Example: sudo mount /dev/sda1 Note: If the user has a separate /boot partition, this must be mounted to /mnt/boot [23:31] questions such as "what is the package called?" or, "what is the driver called?" remain unanswered by this large block of techical gibberish [23:31] aa555, you are reloading grub to the mbr, if you did not make a boot partition for ubuntu you don't have one. [23:31] k [23:31] Belboz999: I'm sorry? [23:31] aa555, notice that where the link defaults has 3 methods only use the first. [23:32] Corey: I'm trying to install the latest open source ATI / AMD video drivers on Ubuntu 11.04, but I can't find any basic step by step information on how to go about that [23:32] bl4ckcomb`, chmod: .: Operation not permitted [23:32] Belboz999: Aren't there stable versions in the repositories? [23:33] under, demand it [23:33] the community documentation states what the newer driver is based on, what latest cards it supports, but not what it's actually called [23:33] -> sudo [23:33] the stable drivers don't have as much 3D support, as stated elsewhere in that documentation [23:33] bl4ckcomb, the server is ubuntu, the client not [23:33] of course, that could be a misnomer as well, I have no idea what's what at this point [23:34] Corey: ^^^ [23:34] under: I think NC10 is owned by 1000 [23:34] iick, udev is making a mess of device names: [23:34] [ 16.182353] <30>udev[368]: renamed network interface eth11 to eth11-eth7 [23:34] [ 16.371957] <30>udev[370]: renamed network interface eth7 to eth7-eth5 [23:34] [23:35] Isn't it supposed to go back and "clean up" the names to their final name? [23:35] under, how is that related? [23:35] Corey: I just got a brand new Radeon HD6770 (Juniper) and would simply like to install the latest driver with the best 3D support [23:35] It's just leaving them at the "ethx-ethx" name, which looks like a temporary holding name to me due to the real name being in use. [23:36] ok bl4ckcomb qin , was enough to give chmod 777 from server, thanks [23:36] under: sudo touch /home/giuseppe/DreamBox/test2 [23:37] nit-wit: so im finished after this command? sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX [23:37] under: Ah, you on client... [23:38] also yes :) [23:38] aa555, you realize that the X=the HD for example sda if fdisk shows that [23:39] nit-wit: yes im not that dumb [23:39] aa555, if you ran ethier command with the X it is wrong [23:39] cool [23:39] nit-wit: it is hanging...forever though it seems: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. [23:39] reboot and run a grub-upadte in ubuntu. [23:39] nit-wit: update-grub [23:40] nit-wit: the ubuntu on my HD? i cant get to that ubuntu [23:40] aa555, you had run other things before asking for help was and partition mounted?

[23:58] indeed. I don't know what I would have done with myself had I not heard goodtime's displeasure with a piece of software, and lack of evidence to support his opinion and why it is relevant. [23:59] nit-wit: i rebooted and it went straight to the grub command line, didnt know what to do [23:59] true [23:59] aa555, lets see the bootscript run. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ pastebin the generated text.
