[00:00] they may have an older version archived [00:00] <[THC]AcidRain> well im actually running a flavor of droid x on a droid x2 device, [00:01] [THC]AcidRain: time to ask in #android i imagine. [00:01] sneakyimp: You dhould go to the security expert you trust for instruction. [00:01] <[THC]AcidRain> oh snap. z4root is working... [00:01] terry: thx for rule. as for said expert, he's very busy (and in wildly different time zone). i'm under a painful deadline. [00:01] <[THC]AcidRain> or at least it appears. [00:02] z4root never worked for me [THC]AcidRain [00:02] terry: latin proverb: if there is no wind, row [00:03] sneakyimp: If it were me, I'd let sshd's config handle what IPs it listens for. [00:03] <[THC]AcidRain> , [00:04] does sshd support hosts.allow and hosts.deny? or is that so old.. its totally outdated :) [00:04] hello [00:04] terry: might it happen that one could exploit sshd in that case? also, is it not more efficient for your machine to have iptables drop the packet before handing it to higher levels of software? [00:05] hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo === ckeen_ is now known as goodpie [00:06] sneakyimp: I agree with terry. Using sshd on a non-standard port, and allowing ssh logins via key only is a better way to go... [00:07] dr_willis, ssh would need to be called from xinetd to work - it's probably a stand alone server - so short answer is NO [00:09] zykotick9: just rembering the old-skool days :) [00:09] I've got a question about coming up with a terminal command [00:09] zykotick9: back when you often had to recompile the kernel to get a cd burner working.. [00:10] dr_willis, ahh, brings me back to a simpler... err more difficult, time ;) [00:10] If I have a folder with, say, 100 files (specifically pictures), and they all have typical names cameras give (xxx-###, etc)...how can I rename all of them sequentially [00:11] dr_willis, i always hated xinitd BTW, but that hosts allow would be pretty handy. [00:11] TheCyph3r: theck out the renameutils command line tools perhaps. :) is one way [00:11] TheCyph3r: ive cheated and used wine to run 'bulk rename utilty' also on linux (and i use it all the time on windows) [00:11] dr_willis: is that a download? [00:12] Does anyone here have a good plan for excluding the vast majority of remote IPs for SSH access while permitting some reasonable subnet -- WITHOUT locking oneself out of the machine. For example, what happens when your ISP gets bought by Comcast? Or your ISP switches to IP v6?

[00:12] i use 'qmv' in the renameutils package all the time [00:14] dr_willis: okay so I have the package, I imagine that it's a command line program that I use through the terminal? [00:15] TheCyph3r: for example qmv. puts all the filenames in a list in a text editor you set.. edit them how you want, save,exit.. it renames them all.. i do a thing similer to..... [00:15] qmv -f do -e geany [00:15] qmv -f do -e geany * === jay is now known as Guest30664 [00:16] -f do = just show the name to rename to... not both befor/after, -e = use the editor... [00:16] then you can do whatever edits you want.. but in your simple case. you may want to track down a more focused tool [00:16] Right, well my thinking was this [00:17] Anyone here have experience with conky? [00:17] There may be 200-300 pictures with names preassigned by camera...the pictures are of book pages, and i'd like to rename them by page # [00:17] im so used to useng 'bulk rename utilty' on windows.. i always install it via wine.. it can add 001 to 999 to the front of a bunch of files in just a few clicks [00:17] joki: lots of conky docs and examples out there.. and the conky homepage... [00:17] joki: state the issue and see who can help. [00:18] TheCyph3r: so is the page# part of the existing filename? [00:18] TheCyph3r: or are they in order? [00:18] sneakyimp: that's why I think ssh/non-standard port/keyed entry only is the way to go. You can set up and run/test the server using your existing ssh connection, and then enable it when you're sure it works. And it [00:18] ubuntu legends. after ,my latest kernel updated pushed out by ubuntu my machine no longer boots to desktop. I get "operaitng in low graphics mode" with no way to fix it. [00:19] dr_willis: They ARE in order, but the existing filename is some randomly assigned name on each...ex: SHF-104, SHF-105, SHF-106, etc. [00:19] sneakyimp: isn't sensitive to the particular ip addresses in use by client or server... [00:19] so you want to change all 'SHF' to "Our_Florida_Pics_" or similer? [00:20] just like "Pg 201" "Pg 202" "Pg 203" etc. ad nauseum [00:20] SO you want to change 'SHF-' to be 'Pg ' [00:20] but keep the #'s the same. [00:20] yes, and the numbers in the filename need to be changed as well [00:21] heh.. changed how. :) that frst part would be easy to do via qmv, [00:21] Nope, the numbers too....It takes FAR too long doing it by hand [00:21] you want it to start at 001 and end at whatever? or what exactly [00:21] let me see [00:22] Geany has 'vertical block' cut/paste features that would make that rather easy also. :) if i can rember how to make bash print 001 to 999....

I sure can use some help. [00:23] hello all! [00:23] what software program does anyone recommend for checking the hard drive on my Ubuntu computer? [00:23] All, Looks like the HOWTO that atomicben put out there would work, if I had the "Auto eth0" they are talking about, which I had before the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 [00:23] dr_willis: Oh wow, brain fart....I'm using my laptop now, but was inserting the SD card into my PC and wondering why the hell the card wouldnt mount! [00:23] Does anyone know whether this is any good http://www.howtoforge.com/checking-hard-disk-sanity-with-smartmontools-debian-ubuntu [00:24] TheCyph3r: :) or ssh'd to some fileserver.. and wondering why its not got the stuff instgalled.. heh...

[00:33] TBotNik: the config file is pretty straight forward, dnsmasq will offer up dhcp, you decide what the net ip range is, the other machines need to look at the machine with dnsmasq for dhcp [00:33] Hey, I did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 and tried to boot and it got stuck on a purple screen. Can anyone help with this please? [00:34] sneakyimp: In practice, port scanning tcp sockets is quite time consuming as the space is so big.

I avoid ati as much as possible. try it and see. === matt_ is now known as Guest77934 [00:47] dr_willis: haha, why do you avoid ATI? [00:47] Just installed 10.04 (no 11.04 because I can only get RTAI to build for 10.04). I can't get gdm to start without "fenagling". Xorg/gdm seems to start, but it just sits there and the cursor blinks on a black background. If I mash on CTRL-ALT-F1 long enough the screen goes blank (I think it actually dropped to a terminal because I can blind login and cat something to a file and it is actually there), then use ALT-F8 to get back to graphical display. Up [00:47] returning GDM is actually showing up. [00:47] TBotNik: no, resolve.conf will reset itself, the change is done elsewhere [00:47] skutr34: i normally need nomodeset untll i can get the addational-drivers installed for my nvidia cards [00:47] skutr34: they are very poor in their linux support. [00:47] In constrast, if I start the system without GDM running and just run startx, Xorg starts up fine. Any suggestions? [00:47] dr_willis: ok [00:47] skutr34: i rank them > 'nvidia, intel ...... way down.. ATI.. and NEVER BUY --> sis.' [00:47] K, where? [00:48] does matrox even exist any more? they would be above sis. :) [00:48] dr_willis: i will try the nomodeset params, then install my additional drivers [00:48] thanks for the help :) [00:48] almoxarife: Do I need to create the shell script they suggest and run it? [00:48] Yeah, those sissy sis cards. [00:48] :P [00:48] skutr34: ive notived if you install with the nomodeset option. It can get added to the /etc/default/grub file - even after its not neded. [00:48] dr_willis: really? that's interesting [00:49] dr_willis, may i ask what gfx card u currently have in use? [00:49] TBotNik: no shell scripts, wait one [00:49] dr_willis: notived?

[00:52] how do i install ubuntu kernel [00:52] dr_willis, night [00:53] TBotNik: dnsmasq is a dhcp server, but you also have another as you mentioned, you need to decide which is the one you want to use, I don't see how both can be used [00:53] when i log into gdm i dont have the classic gnome option, only "user defined session or "recovery console" where has it gone? [00:53] classic gnome tha is. [00:54] Hermiene, What about VGA=771 ? [00:54] q0_0p what do you mean by that upgrade the kernel? [00:54] almoxarife: K will uninstall, but have to leave client. Right? [00:54] L1nuxRules, yes [00:54] L1nuxRules, for some reason ubuntu is telling me I dont have a kernel when i boot [00:54] L1nuxRules, I've chrooted into the system and have access to apt-get [00:55] q0_0p Im more familiar with yum than apt but sudo apt-get upgrade kernel should do it [00:55] YankDownUnder: I'm on a stationary box. I thought that was just for laptops...? [00:55] TBotNik: the client was already there, yes? [00:55] L1nuxRules, what should I apt-get in specific [00:55] q0_0p /usr/bin [00:56] Hermiene, Give it a go regardless....you can also put in: acpi=off noapic [00:56] TBotNik: so why not use the dhcp-server you installed? [00:56] L1nuxRules, what about /usr/bin ? [00:56] q0_0p sorry missread apt-get upgrade kernel [00:56] q0_0p thought you asked for the path to apt [00:56] L1nuxRules, what is package called [00:57] L1nuxRules, if i remember something like linux-image [00:57] L1nuxRules, or linux headers [00:57] YankDownUnder: This is my first time installing Linux... Do I leave the double hyphens "--" alone, or do I delete them? [00:58] q0_0p linux-image will work with sudo apt-get install [00:58] Hermiene, Just a quick question - why are you using the "i195" option in the first place? [00:58] is there a place where i can download modules for a particular kernel? [00:58] q0_0p I use sudo apt-get upgrade kernel just to install headers etc [00:59] YankDownUnder: I followed this: http://journalxtra.com/2010/07/ubuntu-fixing-the-blank-screen-on-installation-bug/ [00:59] Q [00:59] Hermiene, Right oh...just checking mate. [00:59] L1nuxRules, what about this apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic [00:59] they should combine Software Center and Synaptic into one thingamabob [00:59] q0_0p yes thats the kernel [01:00] L1nuxRules, do I need to install headers? [01:00] and call it Synaptic Thingamabob? [01:00] YankDownUnder: Giving it a go... [01:00] q0_0p the headers and other stuff isnt needed unless you want to compile your own kernel [01:00] Hermiene, you can also try adding "xforcevesa" as well... === derp is now known as douche [01:00] q0_0p also might be needed to compile from source [01:00] L1nuxRules, okay makes sense [01:01] synaptic works for me, its not sexy but it gets it done [01:01] hey guys [01:01] how do i join a channel?

[01:06] or should i get the drivers from ATI [01:06] dualbootah: google more [01:06] genewitch: You should use Restricted Hardware. The ATI drivers aren't supported by us. [01:06] i have [01:06] ive tried every solution [01:06] nothing works [01:06] im supposed to unhide the exe [01:07] rww: k [01:07] but it doesnt owrk [01:07] dualbootah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:07] dualbootah, ask in #winehq then [01:07] hello. I need to install sun-java6-jdk and a few weeks ago that still was found in synaptic and installed, when canonical partners was added as repository. Now I installed same ubuntu 11.04 on a different machine today and it can't find sun-java6-jdk anymore, even though canonical partners etc. is the same...? [01:07] Note that on some WoW DVD's the installer executable is hidden and you need to re-mount the disc with the 'unhide' option.

[01:07] dualbootah: giving up? that's no fun, get some soda and some pizza, start from scratch [01:07] ichbinder, did you "sudo apt-get update" after adding partner? it should be there. [01:08] is there an appropriate channel for discussing FUSE? [01:08] ichbinder_: Double check the partners repo is enabled and make sure you updated your package list [01:08] Hermiene, "xforcevesa" [01:08] dualbootah: juice and salad is probably a healthier option though [01:08] just sayin [01:09] YankDownUnder: Ah, thanks.

[01:18] OUt of nowhere I suddenly lost the ability to go on xbox live. I use a wired connection through my ubuntu 11.04 laptop and it worked fine 3 weeks ago (I was idle for 3 weeks) and suddenly my xbox doesn't even connect to my network. I called xbox support and they told me to contact the ubuntu community so here I am. [01:18] Avalessa: youre using your ubuntu machine to route the xbox to the net? [01:19] Yes [01:19] jrwr tail -f /var/log/mailog while your sending a mail to the server then pastebin that [01:20] Avalessa: Do you use a switch to connect the xbox and the pc? if yes, are you running a dhcp server on your ubuntu box? you could start by looking if the xbox got an ip and if yes if you can ping it [01:20] l1nuxman: http://pastebin.com/ALqcw0Xb [01:20] jrwr but really you should be asking in #ubuntu-server [01:20] jrwr will take a look [01:21] Avalessa: may seem like a straight forward solution,... if the xbox doesnt find any network i'd also try checking the network cables,.. maybe somethings broken there [01:21] Anyone know their way around joomla? Not having any luck finding life on their channels [01:22] jrwr what mailbox you sending too? [01:22] We tried everything with my router, router settings, and the xbox itself. Nothing hasworked. === jackal is now known as Guest21094 [01:22] Avalessa: why not connect the xbox to the router? [01:23] I'm 2 stories above the router [01:23] Avalessa: Tel us what you have hooked to what. [01:23] l1nuxman: its a virtual mailbox setup, should be going into the jrwr account [01:23] Avalessa: ah [01:23] My xbox is hooked up to my laptop which is connected to our wifi network [01:24] JRWR, Have you considered checking in the #dovecot channel? Or #postfix for that matter? Oh, and have you setup a "procmailrc" yet? [01:24] Polah, that worked thanks === jackal_ is now known as Guest82019 [01:24] jrwr theres no errors in the mailing being recieved so its the local delivery thats an issue are all the mail services started?

(run "sudo jockey-gtk") [01:29] Polah, btw, it's the second number [01:29] jrwr thats your inbox what are you using to retrieve the mail? [01:29] pappa_bear: Second number for the way dr_willis told you to do it. It was the first number for the way I told you to. [01:30] jrwr actually might not be whats the contents of that dir? [01:31] Avalessa: you have a wireless connection to the router? [01:31] My laptop does, yes [01:31] YankDownUnder, all that did was open additional drivers ive tried that and i marked the bcmwl-kernel-source for reisntalation like the website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx told me to and nothing has worked what else do u think i should try ? [01:31] Avalessa: does xbox? [01:32] No, [01:32] I have a question, running ubuntu 10.04, server, LTS, fresh install. WHY would my udev do THIS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/649600/ [01:32] daniel__, Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and comment out the bcm43xx driver, reboot. [01:32] Polah, first number = User ID [01:33] YankDownUnder, how do i do that [01:33] pappa_bear: Not for my method. ps as shows UID and then PID. ps -a like I said shows PID and then TTY. No UID [01:34] daniel__, Um, sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf => comment in front of bcm43xx, save the file, restart the machine [01:35] Zaehlas maybe something to do with the build system [01:36] well, this is crazy, was same build I used before, needed new hard drives, so fresh installed, but it looks luike every time it's booting, it swaps my two network interfaces.. which causes some serious problems, as you can guess. [01:36] Zaehlas they have probablly changed something with the PXE deployment [01:37] meh. any idea on how to UNDO whatever they changed. this is crazy. who has udev specifically rename network interfaces on a whim? [01:37] YankDownUnder, sry im a realy big noob here what do u mean comment in front of bcm43xx [01:38] Zaehlas not familiar with udev or whim [01:38] YankDownUnder Comment is like the number sign, usually, hold down shift, hit 3, that symbol means "comment the whole line" [01:38] daniel__, Put a "#" in front of it like all the other comments in the file. [01:39] *sigh* Maybe I'll reboot another dozen tinmes, and try to figure out what's it doing. [01:39] Thanks anyway [01:40] hi, I'm trying to get my mic input played through the speakers and I don't have a clue how. I tried enabling the loopback module in pulseaudio but it didn't work [01:40] any ideas? [01:40] YankDownUnder, .# replaced by b43 and ssb. [01:40] blacklist (so here)>bcm43xx [01:41] how do i reset the desktop,top tool bar, bottom toolbar to default settings?

Das it [01:42] didn't work [01:43] someone has changed the panel settings and minimized apps are like very very small [01:43] Ok i got windows installed, i have to update the drivers to be able to use sound and the internet. Heres my question, how do i fix the MBR so that i get Ubuntu as an operating system choice at startup?

[01:44] YankDownUnder, ok should i earase the blacklist before it and also how do i save it [01:44] yellowgto: in the sound preferences [01:45] I've unmuted that already [01:45] Under the input tab [01:45] Doesn't work [01:45] daniel__, Mate, I never said to erase the blacklist - only to comment out the bcm43xx module and save the file and reboot the machine. [01:46] YankDownUnder, ok i didnt jsut making sure but how do i save the file [01:46] Ok, i have Ubuntu 9.10 LIVECD. The last grub version i had after upgrading and patching fully to 11.04 i had Grub 1.99. What is the safest method of getting back to that? Would doing the liveCD route be safe? [01:46] yellowgto: you want to here playback from the mic? [01:46] Yes [01:46] yellowgto: you'd have to unmute the output tab as well [01:46] daniel__, "CTRL+X" saves the file === vDubG is now known as vDubG__Gone [01:46] I don't have an Unmute tab in output histo [01:47] ok im rebooting thanks hopefully it works [01:47] Just left or right slider [01:47] yellowgto: you should have an output volume for the mic on the playback tab [01:47] yellowgto: if not you can use alsamixer in a terminal and [01:47] Playback tab in Sound prefs? [01:48] yellowgto: idk i'm not in ubuntu atm but I know it's there [01:48] I have an output tab [01:48] histo I thought ubuntu uses pulse audio [01:48] Not alsamixer? [01:48] I might be wrong [01:48] yellowgto: alsamixer is a volume control [01:49] because I have Alsa Mixer [01:49] yellowgto: unless something changed recently you should be able to adjust volumes with it [01:50] It must be the headset [01:50] Doesn't jive right with Ubuntu [01:50] Logitech G930 [01:50] I have everything unmuted in ALSA mixer [01:51] yellowgto: i see what you are saying now with the new sound settings [01:51] yellowgto: let me check something [01:51] I downloaded ALSA mixer [01:51] From Synaptic [01:53] YankDownUnder, still no luck [01:53] What's the average capacity of nodes on VG2?

[01:59] ok [02:00] don't you need a patch cable to do a NIC2NIC connection? [02:00] If I have two Ubuntu boxes on the same wireless network, can I transfer data b/w them w/o using an external HDD or the like? [02:01] lenovo ideapad y430 [02:01] TheCyph3r, sure, use ssh should be handy, unless the network blocks it [02:01] comfortsuites, IN most instances, the onboard NIC's are automatically configured - so they'll know if it's a crossover connection or not - and fix it automagically...however, it's always nice to have a crossover cable handy. [02:02] dli: And how do I do that? I'm VERY slowly learning the whole Linux/Ubuntu thing [02:02] so it is possible to have a IP assigned to a NIC on the other end of a standard ethernet cable in ubuntu? [02:03] comfortsuites, auto-crossover is included in all Gigabit NIC, so, unless you have two computers both with 100Mbps NICs [02:03] Hi, I have made a few custom mods to my ubuntu system and suddenly dhclient (dhcp utility, I presume) no longer works. It first complains "error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6" and on further inspection with strace, it turns out that it doesn't have the permissions to access the libc.so.6 library (when it tries to open it in the first few lines of strace). However, I am very definitely running it as root. What's my problem? [02:03] TheCyph3r, on both computers, install sshfs [02:03] laptop is wifi, another laptop is wired into the wifi laptop. how do i bridge the connections so laptop 2 can get an IP ? [02:04] YankDownUnder, ok wicth one there seems to be many different ones linux-backports-modules-net-(then random numbers follows by generic and some are then follow by -pare or they are followed by nattey then generic [02:04] When i type ( Sudo Grub ) It says Command not found. [02:04] comfortsuites, if you only do it once, just connect ethernet cable, manually set IPs for both, and enable NAT(ipmasq) on the one with wifi [02:04] !grub [02:04] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

I dont see it in the Applications section [02:06] dli: the laptop with wifi is being assigned it's own IP from a router via DHCP. i want to get the wired laptop and IP from the router. allow a passthrough [02:06] TheCyph3r, if you want GUI, gnome file manager (nautilus) can do ssh [02:07] can someone explain the purpose of .xinitrc? does gdm go looking for that file, or does it just look at the file in the xsessions directory [02:07] TheCyph3r, open nautilus, go to File->Connect to Server, and supply IP of the other computer, and choose ssh protocol [02:08] Disguised, no, gdm doesn't read .xinitrc [02:08] Disguised, if you run the command startx, .xinitrc is sourced [02:09] dli: Which computer should be server? The one supplying or receiving? [02:09] dli: where do i go to enable NAT? [02:09] well, im using dwm, and i want to customize the status bar, which reads from stdin i believe [02:09] so should i create a script, then call that from my xsesion file instead of dwm directly? === AnGell is now known as f453 [02:09] TheCyph3r, either way would work, since it's a two-way transfer [02:10] comfortsuites, you can try programs like shorewall, or use some simple bash scripts [02:13] dli: okay, so I don't need to supply any passwords or anything? [02:14] TheCyph3r, you will be asked about passwd, unless you get public keys [02:15] dli: strange...it's saying "Could not display "sftp://xxx.xxx.x.xx/" Acess was denied."

[03:24] Obeyance: If you unmount you will be 100% sure that things are sasy. But reboot _propably_ will "fix" it anyway. [03:24] k cause its only /dev and /mnt that wont umount.

[03:25] Obeyance: What is still in: mount [03:25] Im gonna try to just reboot then. If it fails i guess i can always try try again. [03:26] The only thing mounted that i see is the 187GB filesystem which is sda3 [03:26] pawtracksrbxl: In terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgarde; sudo apt-get install -f [03:26] it wont unmount, says its busy.

[03:51] !ask > TheCyph3r [03:51] TheCyph3r, please see my private message [03:52] TheCyph3r, yes, always ask the channel, and do not ask to ask [03:52] tianrific - which OS are you letting manage your boot, grub or win? [03:53] I removed SSH to shut it off, then found a script that can shut it off w/o removal. Reinstalled, now I can't run "ssh localhost" [03:53] csdserver, I used grub [03:53] TheCyph3r, sudo service ssh start [03:54] tianrific, you may have to play around in your BIOS settings and see if there is some sort of toggle switch for it [03:54] TheCyph3r: Have you not remove it? You mean "uninstall"? [03:54] is there a channel to discuss lmms? [03:54] dli: Thanks! That did the job [03:55] dbruns, toggle switch for my boot setting ? [03:55] qin: I did an uninstall with sudo apt-get remove ssh [03:56] TheCyph3r: No biggie. [03:56] tianrific - i'm going to suggest hooking up to a hard link to get updates/drivers etc if you haven't already. if you have done that then inspect your bootlog and see if it's failing on detection or if it's even logged at all.

[04:08] stephenthemartyr, no problem. [04:08] ive seen multiple articles on how to do it but im not sure of the best way to set it up [04:08] Since that's a lot of variables to independently check, I wonder if anyone here has solved it already?

[04:37] damnsogood yes unetbootin will make your flash drive act just like an install CD [04:37] i'm not asking for making a live USb, what i'm asking is how to install ubuntu into usb drive [04:38] IsmAvatar: dule core is 64bit unless its p3d [04:38] DamnSoGooD: oh, sorry. Disregard me then. [04:38] p4d [04:38] IsmAvatar: wow, your devices so stronge.

[04:39] damnsogood you can also use unetbootin to install it on the pen drive and it will act like a small SSD [04:39] louzer: did you just answer your own question [04:39] gogeta: how [04:39] louzer: you said will it have issues then said its not working [04:40] blade: I used a 32 bit ubuntu install CD, iirc [04:40] gogeta he has been in and out of here working on this same problem for some time now [04:40] blade, but it is still just a live usb taking long to boot, what i want is a permanent install into a USB stick [04:40] gogeta: yes i did reboot to try to install and now im back [04:40] louzer: your best chance would install it text mode then install the nivida drivers by hand [04:41] ismavatar are you in 11 4? === Guest79909 is now known as bluebird [04:41] blade: yes [04:41] gogeta: hw to install in text mode [04:41] louzer: if nevu is bugging out [04:41] unfortunately [04:41] louzer: alt install cd [04:41] damnsogood that is the only way to install on a pen drive that i know of [04:41] gogeta: at boot prompt? [04:42] louzer: its a diffrent iso with a cli installer [04:42] gogeta: oh got it [04:42] ismavatar i am not sure but i think that even if you had the 32 bit it may have upgraded on a update to x64 i think it was 11 4 that i was reading about that was doing that [04:42] There is no way to go from 32-bit to 64-bit without reinstalling, so no. [04:43] ok [04:43] Hi [04:43] yep, that's truth. [04:43] ok, if that's so, alternatively how can i restore my SSD back to its almost factory condition? [04:43] ismavatar then you must have used a x64 install [04:44] define "factory condition" [04:44] to its original state [04:44] original state as in file format? [04:45] yes, and there are still files that I cannot delete [04:45] what os [04:45] Nix or M$ [04:46] just file systems that still appears in testdisk [04:46] blade/nit-wit: beautiful. Flash-aid fixed it. Thanks a bunch. [04:46] IsmAvatar, cool. [04:46] Are there any advantages of using Nautilus over Thunar?

[05:04] DBordello, yes just make sure grub is pointed at the usb you're installing to , that is in the custom setup [05:04] DBordello: you don't want a regular system on a thumb drive [05:04] sorry, but none here knows :D i've already asked the, [05:04] idlemind324: just slect the usb drive as the install media then as well as tell it to put grub on the usb drive [05:05] idlemind you can use unetbootin to do that i ran an os like that for over a year [05:05] hmm quick question [05:05] genewitch, why not? [05:05] i cant watch any videos on my ubuntu [05:05] DBordello: swap will kill the drive itself [05:05] Guest57503: any videos or web videos [05:05] fud [05:05] idlemind324: yea unetbootin can also setup a prestent install alot easer [05:05] like dvd video [05:05] thanks. i've seen lots of notes on running the desktop os as a live cd on your thumb drive but nothing i was able to find said i could install the server os to it [05:05] Guest57503: you need ugly gstreamer, hold on [05:05] Guest57503: u have to install media lib.

[05:06] Guest57503: in software center do gst-plugins-ugly [05:06] DBordello, that is not true anymore thumbs last longer [05:06] genewitch, so you think going with a live system with persistent storage is better?

[05:08] nit-wit, here's the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/649692/ [05:08] thanks holdon tofa [05:08] Guest57503: search for ugly it's called "GStreamer extra plugins" [05:08] oh i see it [05:08] sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [05:08] idlemind324: where it says space to reserve for multi reboots [05:09] thank you [05:09] idlemind324: set that up and usb mobile distro [05:09] rebooting to windows, talk to you folks tomorrow [05:09] So I guess the decision is whether I want a regular installtion or "live" system on my USB key. Pros/Cons? [05:09] DBordello: the livecd is guaranteed to boot more than once [05:10] DBordello: with no fuss and no grub config [05:10] DBordello: grub tends to have a hart attack when you change pcs usb drive or not' [05:10] gogeta, it will remain on the same machine. Headless/diskless machine [05:10] DBordello: then you can do nativ no issue [05:10] genewitch, what does the live system do when it needs to swap out? [05:10] DBordello: crash, but why would it need to swap [05:11] hello all [05:11] genewitch, low on ram? [05:11] is there any RAM reader software for ubuntu? [05:11] DBordello: you might be better off with a compact flash card, is this a laptop? [05:11] lmao @ genwitch [05:11] genewitch, no, desktop. [05:11] genewitch: not true ubuntu has a toram option if you got enough ram [05:11] ok so i got that app installed [05:11] DBordello: for under $5 you can get a kit to make CF into normal IDE [05:11] tofa, I think you may not be aware of the scroll feature in the grub menu, it shows in the bootscipt in the os-prober. Have you scrolled all the way to the bottom? [05:11] it's going through the paces atm [05:11] genewitch: so you can load the entire os in ram [05:11] gogeta: right but that's not swap [05:12] i am a little worried about the amount of ram as well [05:12] we shall see if it works. i'm interested in doing this to some kind of compact flash if possible down the line. i kind of like how you can buy a dell server with a cf chip them and load the cf up with esxi [05:12] DBordello: use additional thumb drives as swap [05:12] Yes, I think I have. All the partitions have been accessible before.... [05:12] DBordello: mkswap /dev/sd genewitch, why would a CF be better? Besides being able to be IDE [05:12] DBordello: well if you go nativ you need to install on that system or grub will choke and die [05:12] genewitch, okay. Any reason I can't have that all on the same device? [05:13] DBordello: faster, for a start. and it is an IDE drive, so linux loves it more than a USB drive. [05:13] Nit-wit, I can try booting into windows again and see if works. [05:13] gogeta, that is what I was planning [05:13] DBordello: using a usb drive is fine eyther way just slect it [05:13] Do the live systems with persistent storage allow package installation, configurations, etc. [05:13] DBordello: you can have it all on the same device but thumb drives aren't that fast to begin with. i dunno, give it a shot, but DD your device from another machine when you're done setting it up [05:13] DBordello: i recomond btrfs with the ssd option on [05:13] tofa, you have 7 kernel sets, it should be there. You have run the update-grub XP would not be there if it was not in the grub menu [05:14] DBordello: yes they allow apt-get (i run backtrack on persistent usb) [05:14] Nit-wit, Yes, I think I have. All the partitions have been accessible before.... [05:14] gogeta, didn't even think about that. Any reason why? [05:14] DBordello: sd drives tend to need the same ruleset less writing to the drive longer life span [05:14] Nit-wit, I'll give it a go then. Thanks for your help. [05:14] gogeta: and swap is lots of writing [05:14] genewitch. How does that work? / isn't saved on reboot, right? [05:14] gogeta: whcih is why i recommend another thumb drive :-) [05:14] DBordello: no swap [05:14] DBordello: yeah, it's persistent [05:15] tofa, to be honest the "I think I have is not enough for me" run the update-grub command and look closely XP will be there I suspect, scroll to the bottom of the terminal [05:15] DBordello: i genrelly dont have any issue running ubuntu without swap on a 4gb ssd [05:15] gogeta: 4gb? [05:15] gogeta: server? [05:15] genewitch: netbook with btrfs ssd and compressed [05:15] i have half a mind to drop ubuntu on an older laptop on a 4gb CF (i have xp on it right now) [05:15] no swap sounds dangerous to me [05:15] btrfs? [05:15] genewitch: whole os installed size 700mb hehe [05:15] DBordello: the machine i am talking to you fromhas no swap [05:16] DBordello: and 640mb of ram [05:16] hmmm [05:16] i can beat that [05:16] barely [05:16] genewitch: you have to trick the installer but it works [05:16] DBordello: it means i have to restart a service every day, but other than that, it's cheap. [05:16] Nitwit, Yes it is there. [05:16] hmmm [05:17] DBordello: well 640mb on a server shouldent be a issue relly [05:17] tofa, so your set, you might clean out some of those kernels [05:17] DBordello: wait, the irsii box is gentoo, no swap. it never crashes anything. the ubuntu box i am ssh'd into is the one that has a service silently die every day [05:17] So, if the usb key remains with the same PC, I am hearing that there is no reason not to do a full install, and give er a little swap [05:17] dbordello just pick up a small flash drive for swap [05:17] I have a 8gb USB 3.0 drive that I am going to be using. I feel like that should be sufficient [05:17] DBordello: if you do a single thumb drive, make sure you have a straight dd backup [05:17] DBordello: just to save the trouble [05:17] genewitch, good call [05:18] DBordello: swaping on a sd drive just make it noit last as long [05:18] dbordello it should be fine that is what i ran 9 10 for almost a year on was a 8 gig flash [05:18] DBordello: and good luck. if it works for you i might try and make a server image that way [05:18] Nit-wit, I've always been slightly annoyed by the number of options grub gives me to boot into when I start up. How do I clean them out? [05:18] blade: keen [05:18] can anyone tell me where to find a good linux program that will aggregate podcasts and sync them with a 5th gen ipod? Rhythmbox aggregates but can't sync, gtkpod is not being maintained, banshee crashes my ipod [05:18] hello all. I have 7300 gs nvidia graphic card ,, i have problem with it. the system do not recognize it , ii have test it on ubuntu 10.04 10.10 and natty , if i change to nvidia 8400 it will be solved? [05:18] DBordello: as long as you dont mind replacing the drive every few months have at it [05:19] is there any RAM reader software for ubuntu? [05:19] tofa, I use the easy method there is a app called ubuntu tweak that will do it easily. its not in the repos do you want a link [05:19] gogeta, i see. I'll give it a shot without swap [05:19] Nit-wit, That would be brilliant. [05:19] and see how it feels [05:19] rkj90266: i'm seeing stuff like "install itunes under wine" [05:19] rkj90266: and a few ryhtmbox fixes [05:19] rkj90266: did you get a ryhtmbox database error of any sort? [05:20] DBordello: or get a relly cheap 1gb drive what are they these days 5$ and use it for swap [05:20] nit-wit i have seen that but have never used it. do you like the results [05:20] gogeta: aka readyboost [05:20] DBordello: 4GB $8 :-D [05:20] genewitch, true. [05:20] blade, yeah it is the easy gui way, I'm lazy [05:20] i used a $5 thumb drive as swap when i was parsing wikipedia xmls [05:21] I guess with a live system, it is setup to not be thrashing on the drive. Would the "liveness" of it start to annoy me if I am installing stuff, etc? [05:21] nit-wit sounds like what i need then cuz so am i lol [05:21] hay friends [05:21] DBordello: couse even if you blow up swap the os will keep running and toss a new one in [05:21] genewitch yes, i get a whole series of "error: resource not found" messages when I try to sync [05:21] well i am big trouble here [05:21] i changed my CompizConfig settings and i lost my complete unity desktop [05:22] i cannot access anything at all [05:22] genewitch i would prefer to have a native linux program instead of itunes, and from what i have read it sounds like itunes is buggy [05:22] hacknewton what is wrong with loosing unity lol [05:22] does anyone know how to undo those effects ? [05:22] rkj90266: i am looking sir [05:22] blade, i cant access anything [05:23] DBordello: but you said a server so your probly not going to even need swap being your probly not going to be using tons of memery [05:23] rkj90266: it seems like you're having an odd issue, perhaps submit a bug to rhythmbox maintainers? [05:23] hacknewton log out and log back in before you put your password in at the lower rightish of the screen you can log in with different options [05:23] gogeta, correct [05:23] rkj90266: i'm getting 6 results on google for your exact issue [05:23] and none have a solution [05:23] tofa, here is a web link just run the three commands it will pput it in your update sources list. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tweak-0-5-8-released-with-ubuntu-11-04-support.html [05:23] Nit-wit, Thanks for your help. [05:24] tofa, no problem.;) [05:24] Ali2000: I would try a smaller number first. [05:24] blade, dude i am using desktop without effect option and i want my old normal desktop back [05:24] videoos still arnt playing.. [05:24] videos* [05:24] jay__: cough vlc [05:24] >.< [05:24] hacknewton have you tried to log into your ubuntu unity desktop [05:25] gogeta: feel better [05:25] blade, yes [05:25] Logan_: yes i always love my video whont play question [05:25] hacknewton you could also open your package manager and purge compiz [05:25] blade, it only shows my DVD drive icon its all [05:25] genewitch that's discouraging, surprising really that this is as hard as it is [05:25] any one here know how to run vlc as root ? [05:25] PS i think it should be more apparent that you need to run an apt-get dist-upgrade if it says "packages held back" [05:26] Ali2000: madness === Guest97451 is now known as napster [05:26] sudo vlc [05:26] or gksudo vlc, I suppose [05:26] rkj90266: i know your feelings, trust me. But the only way to fix it sometimes is to submit a bug to the maintainers so they can get it patched. [05:26] it show this : VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. [05:26] If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports [05:26] you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and [05:26] cannot be run by non-trusted users first). [05:26] Ali2000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:26] gogeta: maybe he wants to vlc /dev/sda1 [05:27] genewitch: he should be able to acess read only even on that [05:27] Ali2000: you trying to run it as a server? [05:27] genewitch: enough for vlc to work [05:27] genewitch maybe i will try itunes and wine then [05:27] no [05:27] Ali2000: then you don't need root [05:27] nit-wit in 11 4 compiz and unity are not good friends is that right? [05:27] rkj90266: good luck, sorry i couldn't help more. check back during united states daytime when someone who has one can help :-) [05:28] blade: yes ..it has lot of problem based on my experience [05:28] I am using root account in my ubuntu desktop [05:28] blade, it's a bit contankerous, but I use it. [05:28] Ali2000: there is no root in ubuntu [05:28] Ali2000: sudo only [05:28] blade, anyway you know how to access compize manager trough terminal [05:28] Ali2000: ohhhhh.... useradd notroot & passwd notroot & su notroot [05:28] ok thanks :x === DanaG_ is now known as DanaG [05:28] blade, I have the fusion icon in docky to fix it generally. [05:29] gogeta: lies! i am logged in as root! [05:29] genewitch: lol [05:29] maalac nit-wit i am not running 11 4 and do not know much about terminal commands hacknewton has some problems [05:29] ok i have to relog. bye. [05:29] genewitch: you added it didnt you [05:29] sudo shutdown -r now [05:29] HackNewton, ccsm [05:29] genewitch: i just use halt [05:29] nit-wit, thanks [05:30] HackNewton, thats what we are here for no problem.;) [05:30] i can see my first trip here will not be my last [05:31] what utility I can be use to intercept system calls called ​​by a process ? [05:31] blade: is that a thret [05:31] gogeta lol it may be [05:31] nit-wit: try this one fusion-icon --no-start [05:31] gogeta my first time ever in IRC [05:32] blade: lol if you run linux you spend alot of time on it [05:32] gogeta: yes, i agree. it's like when you start a game and you won't stop until you get to the next mission [05:33] hey [05:33] maalac, I set up a launcher in home then dragged it to docky, I forget otherwise how I set it up. If Unity had a legit panel it would be there with options [05:33] i used linux back in 9 10 now i'm getting back into it [05:33] maalac: more like a mmo where it end even if you got all the endgame loot your helping the noobs [05:33] doesent [05:33] gogeta cant stand M$ crashing all the time [05:34] !ot [05:34] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:41] i was playing with samba and accidentally deleted some files and now i have lost the option to share files when i right click [05:41] Is there any way to send a row request to a webserver without using a browser at all? [05:41] can anyone please help [05:41] mrk1: reinstall the samba package. May help. [05:42] sudo apt-get remove samba [05:42] sudo apt-get install samba [05:42] some one can recommand some funny games in linux? [05:42] is that right? [05:42] !games > bluebird [05:42] bluebird, please see my private message [05:42] TheCyph3r, Um...that's a bit drastic... [05:42] the cyph3r i did that to no avail [05:43] TheCyph3r: easier is: sudo apt-get --reinstall install samba both ways work [05:43] mrk1, You can install a Samba configuration too through the Package Manager and that will help you get yourself back on track without deleting/removing Samba. [05:43] Mrk1: do you have the same release on another system? [05:44] actionparsnip no i dont [05:44] hi [05:44] i got restored it :) [05:44] thanks [05:44] Mrk1: do you know which file(s) you removed? [05:45] Anyobody uses Gambas? [05:45] Mrk1: i don't use nautilus to share personnally. I've always used smb.conf [05:46] actionparsnip it was in the var folder i was trying to follow some advice from online [05:47] mrk1: if you post the link it may help [05:47] what is good tool for samba configuring ? [05:48] actionparsnip i rebooted my computer and cant find it anymore. im sorry i know i am sounding like an idiot [05:48] tomek_: nano is what i use. Eswat and nautilus are ones I can think of quickly [05:48] is there an equivalent to the irc ghost command, but for ssh? [05:49] mrk1: you aren't, you're just learning :-) [05:49] Can someone refer me to a windows support room? [05:49] If anyone happens to still be around from me asking hours ago, the default timeout for the sudo command is 15 minutes (you can confirm with "man sudoers" and search for timestamp_timeout). The timer does however reset any time sudo is used so attempting to "test" can be difficult, even the following courtesy #bash failed // watch -tn1 'echo $(sudo date +"%H:%M:%S")' // however "sudo ls && sleep 16m && sudo ls" reasks for the sudo password. [05:49] How can I see a list of APs? [05:49] actionparsnip [05:49] Ive been working on getting my lan drivers installed and no mater what i do it wont work. [05:49] obeyance: ##windows [05:49] just found the link [05:49] This is in windows* [05:50] Sia: sudo iwlist scan [05:50] actionparsnip /var/lib/dpkg/info [05:50] obeyance, ##windows probably [05:50] tnx [05:52] hello everyone! Does anyone know how I can make an ext4 mount point always have a specific uid? [05:52] mrk1: yikes. There is a fix but my browser sucks off of wifi. Marco Braida posts fixes for the packages. Its a list of about 9 commands [05:53] actionparsnip alright thanks a lot! ill try to fix it [05:53] Mrk1: search for: marco braida mv cp status apt-get clean old usually makes it appear. Its in a launchpad question, scroll down a few, you'll see it [05:55] anyone try to use dwm and have it not respond to cmds [05:56] dwn? [05:57] hello everyone, my /etc/samba folder got deleted accidentally.. any fixes? [05:57] sorry, dwm [05:57] then window manager? [05:57] hi there! question about netbootin [05:57] if anybody has experince in that? [05:58] how to install openoffice.org in ubuntu 11.04, i have install the deb files but its giving dpkg error [05:58] mrk1, Well, as ActionParsnip had said, you can just do a re-installation of Samba and that should be that...except for the fact that you'll have to re-configure your shares mate... [05:58] whats the error aum [05:58] uw_, please ask [05:58] ok, now how can I connect to one of APs found by iwlist? [05:58] lolto, There was a "dwm" way back when - was kinda like "Presentation Manager" for X - like OS/2 - is that what you mean? [05:58] aum: LibreOffice. Is same.

It's not same. :( [05:59] YankDownUnder: i mean the tiling window manager, it shows up as a session option, but all commands to it seem to fasil [05:59] uw_, you mean unetbootin presumably [05:59] **fai [05:59] mrk1, Um...if the shares are disabled, did you not re-create them? [05:59] anyone have any ideas on how i could mount my ext4 drive to always make files be 766? [05:59] bazhang, i can get the kernel/ramdisk to load on a machine, but when running the install i do not have internet access [05:59] instead of 755? [06:00] hey guys my friend has windows machine and he wants to connect to my ubuntu box with vnc , but he is unable to connect , (we are on the same network) [06:00] I am confuzed in terms SSID, BSSID and ESSID [06:00] yankdownunder that is the problem i am having, i am trying to but the option to do so is gone when i right click on the file [06:00] bazhang, i dont really want to set up a mirror. it seems silly that i should have to because a fully installable system is available via cdrom [06:00] !wifi > Sia please have a read [06:00] Sia, please see my private message [06:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/649711/ [06:01] mrk1 Um...now ya lost me..."Right click the file" -> I don't get it...??? [06:02] yankdownunder i used to be able to share my files/folders by right clicking and saying share folder, that option is gone entirely [06:02] uw_, I may have misunderstood, sorry, did you mean 'netboot' as opposed to using unetbootin to install iso to usb stick? [06:02] I am impressed with the usb LIVE installation. It appears to be a real install :) I installed a package, messed with /etc, and rebooted. It all stayed. [06:02] mrk1, Right - so you've done a re-install of Samba - have you, perchance, rebooted? [06:02] bazhang, i have the whole cd on the netboot server...how can i get it too look at that (preferably via NFS not HTTP or FTP) [06:03] yankdownunder yes i have and still nothing..im stumped [06:03] bazhang, i mean over the network, i dont have a usb key [06:03] yankdownunder i also have killalled nautilys [06:04] mrk1, Look, in your Package Manager, there is an admin utiliity for Samba - ya might want to install it, and try this all over again...the other option is to completely remove samba from this machine, reboot, re-install samba, then try again... [06:04] uw_, okay you said 'netbootin' I presumed wrongly you referred to 'unetbootin' [06:05] bazhang, it is requsting a mirror (something like us.archive.ubuntu.com) i would like it too look locally, via the same NFS share that it used to grab other files from. [06:05] yankdownunder alright, ill try that, thanks [06:05] bazhang, yes sorry about that. i met "netbootin'" as a slang for "netbooting", the verb for using netboot [06:07] bazhang, i could set up a http or ftp server on this...but its kinda unessary just so the client can pull in files. the NFS is set up and working properlly, why cant it just keep using that for everything on the CD as normal? [06:07] uw_, I dont know much about the pxe netboot issue, sorry for the misunderstanding on my part [06:08] bazhang, ok understood. thank you for your offering of help though [06:09] anyway to make the live installation less "live". Ie, automatically loginging in the consoles.

[06:12] ActionParsnip, i don't need to create a new iso.

Doesn't automatically login all of the consoles. Remove the default ubuntu user. [06:15] I can't bring ubuntu back from sleep, where can I turn that off? power options? [06:17] DBordello: if you use unetbootin the you are simply transferring the live cd to usb. Updates wi not stick. If you create a persistent install you can add all manner of changes and startup scripts and after a reboot they will not be lost [06:18] ActionParsnip, I used unetbootin with a persistent storage. It is actually reall impressive. It behaves like a full install [06:19] DBordello: if you run system updates then reboot you will have to older versions of the apps [06:20] ActionParsnip, oh reall :/ I did notice if i installed a package using apt-get, it showed up upon reboot. [06:20] which I thought was nice [06:20] ActionParsnip, i am attempting to run a system from USB. I am trying to decide if it is best to run it as a live environment, or install to the usb key [06:20] i'm not sure most USB's would have room for a bunch of updates toa persistent install [06:20] DBordello: the squashfs file doesn't get updated :-( [06:21] !persistent [06:21] !usb [06:21] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:21] !persistant [06:21] Ayyyy [06:22] ActionParsnip, its !usb [06:22] Hmmm [06:22] interesting [06:22] bazhang: i see.

This is for a headless/diskless machine [06:28] Hello. I have simple bash script which just records audio from mic in and sends it via ftp - in loop, audio files are 2 Mb each. So, I need to run this script after booting. Any ideas? [06:29] I think I will install from USB A to USB B. Any suggestions to reduced thrashing to the drive? [06:29] DBordello: ahh i see. Then persistant USB is great. A class 6 SD card will help improve speed [06:31] g hey [06:31] How do i clear my DNS cache ? [06:32] Does anyone know how to clear DNS cache ? [06:33] sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart I guess [06:33] skrmm, does that script have to run in the background or does just have to be run once on boot ? [06:33] not working [06:34] glebihan, background, I'm building something like IP dictaphone [06:34] corestorm, try sudo aptitude install nscd first [06:34] I've done this already [06:34] it's not clearing my DNS cache. [06:35] skrmm, in that case you would have to use an upstart job [06:35] Does anyone know what i need to do here ? [06:36] corestorm, service networking restart? [06:36] skrmm, here is an example of a simple upstart job I made : http://paste.ubuntu.com/649733/ [06:36] Mabie there's a cache on my router ? [06:36] glebihan, Oh, ok, I guess I should rtfm about upstart, thanks [06:36] Or some shit [06:36] skrmm, also have a look to other jobs in /etc/init [06:38] corestorm, maybe there is, who knows. If so - just reboot the router [06:38] Alright [06:40] hi. Is there an editor which allows to insert words only if the follow a user-defined grammar?

New thing. :) [07:12] is there any way to start a console application with a proxy internet connection? [07:12] Hey Fellas .. I have a total ass dumb question [07:12] like, the connection the console app uses will be going through that proxy (specifically, SOCK5) [07:12] !ask | n00bRX [07:12] n00bRX: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:12] ok, thank you. I won't ask to ask again [07:12] somehow I "moved" the active window I was in to the top left of the screen and locked it in place [07:13] it sucks because I can't read the screen properly, and I can't seem to get it to "appear normal" meaning that I don't have control of moving it around [07:13] So what exactly did I do? [07:13] Thanks ubottu & lasers [07:13] n00bRX, you might have switched workspaces [07:13] No, I didn't switch workplaces. [07:14] as in holding shift, alt, ctrl and then an arrow key [07:14] \server irc.irc-hispano [07:14] n00bRX: Hold ALT and try drag the window? [07:14] I clicked on something with my mouse, and it's like the border around that active window disappeared and locked it to the uppert left side of my active workspace [07:14] ok one second lasers [07:15] Border disappear? You don't have metacity or compiz running [07:15] I do believe I have compiz running [07:15] should I go back into the compfix settings and make sure my borders are turned on. [07:16] n00bRX: Err. Sure. If you were tweaking with compiz settings when that happen, that information might be useful. [07:16] for instance lasers, this active xchat IRC isn't giving me the usual min, max and close in the upper left [07:17] I actually wasn't tweaking compfiz [07:17] I mean I have in the past, but at this point and juncture I wasn't not in compfiz. [07:17] n00bRX: Try enabling metacity/compiz the way you usually. [07:17] For instance, firefox gives me the option to minimize, maximize and then the "x" to close out. [07:17] n00bRX: Open a terminal -- "metacity --replace &&" ? [07:18] "metacity --replace &" [07:18] Lasers, it worked perfectly. [07:19] I have my "borders" back .. so what did I do exactly? [07:19] Or where in the help file can you point me so I can go read and learn [07:19] n00bRX: Great. Now you should run that from "ALT+F2" -- So you don't have to close/cancel the terminal. [07:19] n00bRX: I don't know. Something occured. [07:19] occurred. [07:19] !metacity | n00bRX [07:20] you stopped compiz and restarted metacity [07:20] basically telling metacity to redraw all your GUI stuff [07:20] n00bRX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager [07:20] simplified Idle explanation [07:22] Thanks idleone .. my computer locked up.

[08:49] Rickard_: well the hdd speeds is a bit slower [08:49] yeah ofc it is :) [08:49] Rickard_: other then that its works just fine [08:50] Slart , would love to be creative ,but they never seem to work. I get one video that works and the rest mess up. same with transcoding [08:50] anyone of you are very in to backtrack ? :) [08:50] tarelerulz: you're talking about devede now? you've tried it? [08:50] th3fjong: backtrack is offtopic, try #backtrack-linux [08:51] oh ok thx ;) [08:51] * #backtrack-linux :Cannot send to channel [08:51] what do i do ? [08:52] never tried that before [08:52] try /list find backtrack channel [08:52] I have never devede . Plus, they are for like one dvd at time. They take so much time I would love to make like 3 iso in row . Like over night [08:54] tarelerulz: I'm not sure if devede has some kind of background engine you can send off jobs to.. but give it a try.. it's point and click, sensible defaults and you should now pretty soon if it's the tool for you [08:54] samsul: it is the correct channel name. Also, to search for channels, you can use /msg alis list ubuntu for example [08:54] Iemand nederlands (A) [08:54] Hapieie: in #ubuntu-nl [08:54] Dankuuu :P [08:54] Hi, could anyone share knowledge on git behind proxy server? [08:55] rich: maybe try #git channel? [08:56] dvd authoring and transcoding all see to have the same problem. it hard to find good one for point and click. I have 8 core and good video card I would love to try out using the gpu so could still do stuff [08:56] Any way to get Ventrilo? [08:56] hmpf.. how come my apt-get update takes ages and everything else works fine on my linux installation, got no problems with browsing the web, its fast there [08:56] tarelerulz: dvdflick seemd to be dead easy and everything came out fine [08:56] tarelerulz: same for dvdstyle [08:57] Is there a way I can move the virtual C drive from wine? I've got two (real) internal HDDs, and I want wine stuff on the other one to what it's on now.... [08:57] what about testing out the iso ? Is that easy [08:57] tarelerulz: tossed it in my dvd player [08:57] Is there a Lucid Puppy support room? [08:58] #puppy? [08:58] Idk [08:58] mang0: but the folder on the new drive and mount the new drive/partion ton ~/.wine/ [08:58] #puppy [08:58] Obeyance: the channel is called #puppylinux [08:58] Obeyance: type "/join #puppylinux" [08:58] iceroot: K, thanks [08:59] tarelerulz: and i think ubuntu will do a loopback mount on iso files via right click now [08:59] uit [08:59] Any way to get Ventrilo? [09:00] Valrin: its called managler its vent for linux [09:00] So I don't wast whole dvd-r . I could just play the iso file and see if it works or not. [09:00] Thanks :) [09:00] Valrin: http://www.mangler.org/ [09:01] gogeta: re tarelerulz in nautilus it's `archive mounter'. [09:01] tarelerulz: yep [09:02] so, i installed ubuntu side by side with windows 7 and now my windows 7 wont boot. [09:02] how would i fix this?? [09:02] tarelerulz: and the mount command it pretty smart these days you can just do mount dvd.iso /mnt/cdrom [09:04] How to make a script for the terminal that asks the user to fill in a name? [09:04] tarelerulz: bascily you can put it in the same folder as ubuntu uses for real cds so all the apps think a real disk was inserted [09:04] alex--: ask in #bash [09:05] Dear ubuntu-devs: If you give me a popup, that AN application wants to access the Default keyring, then have the decency to say WHICH application that is. I have 3 popups after each other on every login. And I don't like typing my password 4 times every login. Thanks [09:06] padi999: relly i set my key to unlock all apps [09:06] padi999: once and everything uses it [09:06] Senix: can i use ubuntu commands in it? [09:06] alex--: any .sh script will run terminal commands. [09:07] padi999: waent that the point in keyring so it didnt pup up 4 times heh [09:13] does adobe flash work in wine? [09:13] yesitisjustme: why not use the real one? [09:13] !appdb | yesitisjustme [09:13] yesitisjustme: 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 [09:14] Hi all [09:14] because can't use gmail phone with linux browser [09:15] yesitisjustme: what?

[09:18] mang0: I think that will work.. tried it? [09:18] wine can't install msi? [09:18] Slart: no, I will now, thankyou. :) [09:18] yesitisjustme, it can [09:18] yesitisjustme: btw, vmware it's another great soft emulation [09:18] Try wine start filename.msi [09:19] mang0: .wine is normally in your home folder.. ~/.wine or /home//.wine [09:19] yesitisjustme: try it [09:19] I'm looking for ..c:blah blah cuz I tried to move it and it didn't work slart :/ [09:19] Infernet: why not suggest virtualbox? [09:19] mornin [09:19] mang0: ah.. I see [09:20] i installed opera on wine but can't install adobe flash player on wine does wine not able to install adobe flash? [09:21] yesitisjustme: you can install opera natively on linux [09:21] Is there a way to disable my internal webcam? I am trying to use zbarcam with an external manual focus webcam but it keeps activating the built in one. [09:21] yesitisjustme: srsly, why do you install Opera in Wine? what's wrong w/ the native Linux version? [09:21] ParkerR tape over the eye? :) [09:21] User: e_imut!~ce_imut@114.79.49.104 spammed me (in a pm) with another server to connect to, just letting the ops know it works by joining this channel [09:21] XD [09:22] because you can't use gmail phone with linux browser it says only for windows when i try thats why [09:22] ParkerR: you might be able to blacklist the module/driver for the webcam.. and hope the other webcam doesn't use the same module/driver [09:22] techhelper1: try #freenode [09:22] techhelper1: if you want, you can report in #ubuntu-ops [09:22] techhelper1: HUh? [09:22] techhelper1 mention ce_imut too for sme thing [09:22] sam [09:23] i meant that person [09:23] ce_imut [09:23] i missed a letter on copying [09:23] Free-man: techhelper1 please stop that discussion here [09:23] Free-man: techhelper1 report problems in #ubuntu-ops please [09:23] it says adobe flashplayer already installed but the browser flash test does not detect it [09:24] oCean mind-reading is verbooten. [09:24] vmware is better than wine? [09:25] yesitis [09:25] Slart, ok how would I determine which one it uses and how would I blacklist? grep comes to mind when identifing [09:25] yesitisjustme: vmware is different from wine.. better for some things.. worse for others [09:25] yesitisjustme: it is different, vmware is a virtualisation solution and wine is a compatibilty layer [09:26] WIINE has better graphics support [09:26] Can do the PC games [09:26] ParkerR: lsmod will give you a list of modules in use.. you could use lsusb to check what the webcam identifies itself as [09:26] *WINE [09:26] init: ureadahead something terminated with status 4 [09:26] On boot [09:26] ParkerR: but it's probably one of 3 maybe 4 drivers.. there aren't that many [09:26] has anyone installed opera and adobe flash in wine before or maybe only works in firefox? [09:27] and boot is black for quite some time after grub? :S [09:27] (Server edition) [09:27] Slart, ok names :) [09:27] yesitisjustme: http://www.google.com/chat/voice/ <- "Requires XP+ / Mac OS X 10.4+ / Linux" [09:27] that's what it says [09:28] yesitisjustme: I don't think Adobe supports Wine or Linux :/ [09:28] init: ureadahead-other main process (562) terminated with status 4 [09:28] ParkerR: uvc something.., gspca, v4l .. those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head [09:28] yesitisjustme: the download button offers me .deb and .rpm format for download [09:29] v4l1_compat 10250 2 uvcvideo,videodev [09:29] ParkerR: here's a thread from ubuntuforums discussion turning off webcams http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291061 [09:29] but on linux i think it says it only works with fedora and opensuse or suse and no other linux only those i think i read [09:29] oh [09:30] hi [09:30] hey all [09:30] yesitisjustme: .deb is for debian and ubuntu, .rpm is for suse and fedora [09:30] could i run script in cron every30 seconds? [09:30] ok [09:30] ParkerR: ah.. then it's using uvcvideo .. you can remove that by running sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo [09:31] Slart, do i need to rebbot? [09:31] ParkerR: nope, it should work right away [09:31] citizen-stig: with standard cron, just with some weird scripting tricks [09:32] I get this with the one I want to use unplugged FATAL: Module gspca_main is in use. [09:32] Slart, [09:32] llutz_: thx [09:32] So I think that is the one I want [09:33] ParkerR: and then you'll just have to hope that that other webcam doesn't use the same driver/module =) [09:33] Slart, well I mean did it unload it or not? [09:33] ParkerR get a pm [09:34] ParkerR: no error messages usually means it worked [09:34] ParkerR: you can check again with lsmod and see if it's gone [09:34] I said it said FATAL [09:34] parker@crunchbang:~$ sudo modprobe -r gspca_main [09:34] [sudo] password for parker: [09:34] FATAL: Module gspca_main is in use. [09:34] parker@crunchbang:~$ lsmod [09:34] Woo not warning XD [09:34] ParkerR: crunchbang isn't supported here [09:35] Close [09:35] And #crunchbang is dead right now [09:35] ParkerR: the channel #crunchbang is the right place [09:35] ParkerR: just because it's dead doesn't mean you get support here [09:35] I'm already in it [09:35] ParkerR: please try to use the correct channel in future [09:35] ParkerR: ah.. it's in use.. try removing the other modules listed next to uvcvideo in the lsmod output..

[10:17] dr_willis yes they had it i think [10:17] hello! [10:17] well...the virus started on a laptop [10:17] I imagine that Nuke Plant stuff has more Fud and Urban Legands about it then we know real facts. :) [10:18] can anyone think of any possible way for ubuntu to get infected by usb? [10:18] hexacode, dr_willis: well, they can't use Red Hat/Fedora because it falls under US export restrictions ;) [10:18] hexacode: i cant imagine how its possible. [10:18] thanks [10:18] szal: but they could download it theirself... :) [10:18] szal lol they can use north koreas version of linux [10:18] redstar OS [10:18] dr_willis, like this; dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb [10:18] dr_willis, how can i install ubuntu into a usb flash drive? [10:19] good day #ubuntu [10:19] newb: are you SURE those are the right disks? also you want a bs=2048 option for speed. [10:19] what is natty ? testing/stable or unstable ? [10:19] where I can read about versions ? [10:19] !natty | imgrey [10:19] imgrey: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [10:19] DamnSoGooD: sameas youy do to a normal hd.. boot cd. (or a 2nd flash) tell it to insdtall/partion to the other flash. Be sure grub gets installed to it. [10:19] !versions [10:19] I use Ubuntu 11.04. I update my system, and now i have two kernels. But i can not see the old kernel on Ubuntu-tweak (latest version) to clean it ? Is there any problem on my system ? [10:19] imgrey: stable/testing/unstable is debian, not ubuntu [10:19] what do you mean current release of ubuntu ? [10:19] I use normal debian [10:20] and ther'a unstable/testing and stable branches [10:20] rac_kemel: i wouldent worry about having 2+ kernels.. when you get 10+ then you may want to clean some out. [10:20] imgrey: Debian and Ubuntu are NOT the same [10:20] I know [10:20] ok thanks doc! :D [10:20] imgrey: ubuntu dosent use the same 'method' like that. [10:20] dr_willis, nothing to proud of [10:20] we got the LTS version,, then the non LTS versions that are the playgrounds [10:20] imgrey: whatever.. i find it works well for me. [10:21] dr_willis, like this; dd bs=2048 if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc, where sda is the original and sdc is the new one [10:21] imgrey, You might also have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 [10:21] <[tla]> hi, i tried to release-upgrade from maverick to natty and after the reboot the server has no ssh listener running. i know the server is up because i can ping it and nmap tells me the ps3media server and tor are running. the server is headless and has no serial port. it does have VGA (onboard and additional nvidia card) and a keyboard port. when i power ir on i see no VGA output so have... [10:21] <[tla]> ...no idea what is happening. advice on best way to proceed please! thx :) [10:21] newb: the 2 disks are the same size? [10:21] in fact I got an issue with virtualbox on ubuntu natty: [10:21] dr_willis, no [10:21] Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) [10:21] Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root. [10:21] newb: or is the sdc biger? if its smalller.. that can be a n issue. [10:21] sdc is bigger [10:21] it happened on one of programmer's desktop [10:21] could someone tell me what I should do ? [10:22] imgrey: did you do what it said? [10:22] update Ubuntu ? remove it and install debian ? [10:22] newb: after getting the dd done. You will wan tto use 'gparted' to resize the partitions to fill up the rest of the space. or make a new parittion to use the extra space. [10:22] szad, of course === madhusudany2k is now known as Madhusudany2k [10:22] dr_willis: thank you first. I know that you told me :) . But i will clean the old one from synaptic. But I'm thinking why Ubuntu-tweak does not show me the old one. I will backup my system. I am worying for any problem now. [10:22] dr_willis, so the terminal code is correct [10:22] i have installed grub-pc,grub2 and all staff installed but when i start the machine i see grub prompt and i can boot ubuntu with commands but when i try to boot using grub.cfg ( configfile (hdX,Y)/boot/grub/grub.cfg ) i failed it echo syntax error invalid command invalid mode auto [10:22] Im installing module-assistant [10:22] [tka] you're locked out? [10:22] lets see if it helps [10:22] newb: looks right to me.. thats how i cloned a hd last week. [10:23] any help [10:23] dr_willis, what does the bs=2048 do? [10:23] <[tla]> JimXL: well there is no ssh daemon running so i cant even connect [10:24] I am getting below error in Ubuntu 11 and X hangs [10:24] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung [10:24] [tla]: and you can't log into the console? === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [10:24] Anyone tried to make mdadm software raid on top of LVM-managed partitions on disks? I would like to have ability of file system snapshots in the future, before updating from LTS to newer releases... [10:25] Anyone installed and using Ubuntu on BTRFS? [10:25] dr_willis, the thing about dd it doesn't give you a progress percentage [10:25] <[tla]> JimXL: i see no output from the console via VGA and server has no serial port. i do have serial / usb converter but maybe it is too early in the boot process for it [10:25] btrfs [10:25] [tla]: Does it have a cd/dvd drive? Usb port that it can boot from? [10:25] <[tla]> JimXL: yes it has a dvd drive [10:25] module-assistant doesnt help [10:25] any ideas ? [10:25] <[tla]> JimXL: I just dont see why i see nothing from VGA [10:26] newb: ive seen some tools/scripts that can do it.. but ive never really needed it., [10:26] newb: as user in a 2nd terminal "killall -USR dd" will give you the progress [10:26] [tla]: Perhaps it's not getting far enough [10:26] <[tla]> JimXL: clearly server is actually booting as i can ping it etc [10:26] [tla]: That's true. [10:26] USR1 it is, sry [10:26] llutz, tks [10:26] [tla], did you try pressing a key while VGA is plugged in? [10:26] <[tla]> JimXL: and some apps are running - just not sshd [10:26] [tla]: if it's getting that far then getty should be running. [10:27] newb: as llutz_ mentioned you could do a 'watch -n 60 ' [10:27] that would update evry min. [10:27] <[tla]> JimXL: I dont even see BIOS screen which seems v odd [10:27] newb: if theres only linux + data on the old disk, its faster to copy the stuff using rsync/tar/cp [10:27] nikolam: you using btrfs on a production system? [10:27] [tla]; hold the shift key down while rebooting to see if the grub menu comes up. [10:27] <[tla]> Hyperbyte: yes [10:27] newb: rcync/tar/cp would also be faster if the drive 1 is not very full.. [10:28] dr_willis, tks, approximately how long does it take for a 140gb to 450gb ~? [10:28] newb: just needs some changes in /etc/fstab and grub [10:28] newb: no ide really. i normally do such commands then go to lunch. :) [10:28] ThinkT510, No, I am using OpenSoalris/OpenIndiana/Soalris/ZFS on produvction system. Btrfs is not there yet. [10:28] [tla] you have two vga cards? [10:28] or ports [10:28] nikolam: oh good [10:28] over ide/sata i would guess perhaps 2 hrs.. (guessing) [10:28] I would just like to have file system snapshots when updating Ubuntu , with lvm, whatever [10:29] over usb... well.. overnight. :) [10:29] llutz, I presume killall doesnt kill the process [10:29] newb: if you forget to use that bs= option. it will take a lot longer [10:29] <[tla]> JimXL: on-board VGA and nvidia card [10:29] did it with bs [10:29] newb: killall -USR1 sends the USR1-signal to that process, which will answer with progress-message in ths case [10:29] <[tla]> JimXL: tried shift while booting and nothing [10:29] Have you tried both? [10:30] Both vga ports? [10:30] ThinkT510, do not want to reinstall ubuntu if something goes wrong for update. Only things I know is that Linux LVM have snapshots , there is mdadm for software RAID that I currently use and there os Btrfs still in Beta [10:30] <[tla]> JimXL: yes [10:30] OK remove one of them, it's possible there's a conflict. [10:30] <[tla]> JimXL: it's like it is not bringing either of them up [10:30] <[tla]> JimXL: the nvidia also has HDMi which i havent tried [10:31] If it's not activating the vga, it's probably not going to have HDMi output. [10:31] nikolam: i have no experience with lvm or raid, i just wanted to make sure you were aware btrfs isn't production ready (which you evidently do) [10:32] ThinkT510, I think there is one guy who installed Ubuntu from boot on ZFS, using still developing ZFS module for Linux. Only problem was file system permission being flat. [10:32] Meaning, he installed, then copied install on ZFS [10:32] nikolam: i assume thats zfs on fuse? [10:32] [tla] silly question, does the monitor have power? Is the switch on? [10:32] Hi there! Since Lucid there have some Daemons switched from /etc/init.d to upstart and it's /etc/init syntax. For managing the Start/Stop - Links in /etc/rc?.d , there were a tool, called update-rc.d . Is such a tool also available for the Upstart - Files? [10:33] <[tla]> JimXL: ok, i see output on the nvidia VGA now. seems the cable had to be connected before i powered it on for it to use it [10:33] ThinkT510, no. native Linux ZFS. Still under development but can be tested [10:33] This is very interesting, since update-rc.d was very easy to use in scripts and the like. [10:33] [tla] interesting. [10:33] <[tla]> JimXL: see error: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready / present [10:33] ThinkT510, i think there is article from time to time about it on phoronix.com [10:34] tks guys [10:34] [tla] good deal. [10:34] nikolam: i thought there were licsence inompatibilities that prevent you from using zfs nativly on linux (hence the development of btrfs) [10:34] ThinkT510, thing is that because of CDDL/GPL licensing differences, module could be compiled on site after install. [10:35] Yes, ThinkT510 but noone stops yopu compiling it yourself, or even automatically compile it after install. [10:35] nikolam: while this is interesting we better stop, its getting off topic [10:35] ThinkT510, nope, I think it is on topic, I need FS snapshots for Ubunut upgrade. :P [10:35] Seek LVM or other solution [10:36] <[tla]> JimXL: oh dear, told it to "skip" and system seems to have crashed now - caps lock unresponsive :( [10:37] I am interested in terminal programs -- right now I am using gnome-terminal, but I can't help noticing all the other options. I would like some input about what to look for in a terminal program. [10:37] [tla] oops [10:38] hiya [10:38] i'm running ubuntu 10.10 and i have firefox 4 installed - how do i install firefox 3.6 to a separate place, so it doesn't interfere with my ff4 install? [10:38] [tla] it may be related to the nvidia card. [10:39] Phalstaff: i'd guess that depends on your usage of the terminal and what shell you want [10:40] <[tla]> JimXL: it's weird can still ping the box and got root prompt after selecting "manual fix" but then keyboard has died again after a few keystrokes [10:40] There's a bug for that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/798086 [10:40] Ubuntu bug 798086 in linux (Ubuntu) "Occasional "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present" on system startup" [Undecided,Incomplete] [10:40] Apparently it's a timing issue. [10:40] Reboot again and it may go away. [10:41] Hello guys. is it possible to recover deleted file ? and how ? [10:41] That's what some have reported. [10:41] Phalstaff, try terminator [10:41] need_ [10:41] darn [10:41] Has someone got Mathematica 8 to emit any sounds with OSS/Pulseaudio in Natty? [10:41] need_help, That sounds a little tricky; perhaps you could create a different user-name (help_needed?), log-in under that name and install FF 3.6 there. It's be a pain though, you'd have to switch users each time. [10:42] I think they all use the bash shell ... I am thinking that if I were to distribute a program I would want a common terminal. [10:42] LoL ubuntu. [10:42] Phalstaff: terminals use whatever shell is the user's login shell (by default, on *buntu it's /bin/dash) [10:43] Noah: go troll elsewhere [10:43] HektoR: maybe see this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linuxunix-recover-deleted-files.html [10:44] You know, szal, you should petition ubuntu to support sparc. Even if you're a noob os, if you support sparc, you rock. [10:44] Thank you szal that is news to me! I will check out what the Dash Shell is all about. [10:44] !dash | Phalstaff [10:44] Phalstaff: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [10:44] Noah: Sparc is a niche architecture.. if you want Sparc, use Debian or NetBSD or SunOS ;) [10:44] Are you down w/ the dash shell? [10:44] szal or gentoo =] [10:45] or openbsd, or freebsd (old sparcs). [10:45] or inferno [10:45] or even nextos some sparc [10:45] Noah, why are you asking about Sparc if you already know the answer? [10:45] Noah: just keep in mind that many Linuxen have even dropped PPC support, so don't expect something as exotic as Sparc to be widely supported [10:46] Noah: but that discussion is off-topic here, feel free to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:46] LoL. [10:46] Is there seriously a need for ubuntu? [10:47] <[tla]> JimXL: it seems tty echo is also wrong - "stty echo" gives me normal output for a while then it hangs again. i think this system is now very sick :( priority is to get sshd running so i can connect remotely [10:47] Noah: maybe not for you, but if your too good for ubuntu why are you here trolling? [10:48] [tla]: start ssh see if it stays up. [10:48] for those that want to try an application but not install it ,, or a different version of one already installed,, if they are listed,, you might want to go here http://portablelinuxapps.org/ [10:48] [tla]: you may have to back off of that buggy distro... [10:48] I've got an Ubuntu desktop box that I've reacently made headless. Are there services I can stop, and thinks I can do to free up resources and make it act more like a server, without going to the length of installing the Server edition right now? [10:49] recently, that is [10:49] SuperLag: you might first of all want to strip it off X & put an ssh server on it (if you haven't already) [10:50] szal: it's got an ssh server already. [10:51] szal: does simply making sure gdm isn't starting stop all the stuff that would hog resources for the UI? [10:51] SuperLag: here's what my server has running http://paste.ubuntu.com/649874/ [10:51] hi, i've generated my gpg/pgp key and uploaded it to public keyservers. i've setup my email client (evolution) to send and sign with gpg/gpg and tested it and it works. what i want to know is how to share my key. i see on some peoples websites on their about page: oh, here is my pgp/gpg key btw: and some listing of letters and numbers which is their key. i've tried to look for a pattern of some sort, but can't figure out what i need to [10:52] (the above was a test, ignore please) [10:52] SuperLag: you can compare it to your system and maybe find some things to shut down. [10:52] LjL: you could've tested in -offtopic or in #test :P [10:55] JimXL: thank you. === altin is now known as altin_away [10:56] how do I upgrade my ubuntu installation to windows? [10:56] NGC2068: you don't, they are two different operating systems [10:56] ikonia: don't feed the trolls [10:56] De\ nada [10:56] <[tla]> JimXL: I think the upgrade is goosed. sshd will not start. lsb_release -a still says maverick. do-release-upgtrade --mode=server fails because the eth0 ip is not set because the dhcp client is gone! argh :s [10:57] How can i get Mathematica 8.0.1 to play Sound in Natty? [10:57] [tla] reinstall time. [10:57] Hi, my server wont start, no errors, no nothing. just a blinking cursuor whith no text. What is more likely, the mbr does not exist or the kernel that my bootloader try to start does not exist? [10:57] ouch [10:57] i thought both would give me an error... [10:58] mien: add the boot option, nomodeset [10:58] mien do you see the grub menu? [10:58] no, i dont see grub. [10:58] mien: also test your RAM [10:59] mien ok when booting hold the shift key down to get the grub menu [10:59] Then do what Parsnip said. [10:59] k. ill try that. Back in a couple of min. [10:59] mien: if I read correctly the other day, it's the left Shift key, to be precise [10:59] also test hard drive temps.. and if they are near full...yes? [11:00] szal Interesting. I never knew that. Thanks for the update. I've always used it by default. [11:00] How do I set the F1-F6 screens to a higher resolution? [11:01] grub [11:01] How do I set the F1-F6 screens to a higher resolution? [11:01] !repeat | stercor_ [11:01] stercor_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [11:02] <[tla]> JimXL: i have manually config'd the eth0 and can now run do-release-upgrade. I get *many* "no candidate found for ... package" messages [11:03] I would never refer to a change from Ubuntu to Windows (or visa versa) as an upgrade -- but maybe that is just me. [11:03] stercor_, can you please explain your question more so everyone here get more idea about it [11:03] <[tla]> JimXL: it then says "you system is upto date. upgrade will be cancelled" followed by "do you want to start the upgrade"! :s [11:04] <[tla]> JimXL: maybe the apt repository is goosed somehow? [11:04] JimXL, Left shift key does not give me a grub menu. so i guess mbr is empty or something... but wouldent bios output something like "No mbr found on selected device" or somehting alike? [11:04] mien: if it boots, then the Grub is there [11:05] but it does not boot :) [11:05] mien, are you holding the sift key down? [11:05] so i guess grub is not there. [11:05] coz_ yes, and i tried 2 times. [11:05] szal, sorry to correct but if you boot there should be some bootloader not* neccessary* grub [11:06] its so strange. it have worked fine for 2 years and today we hade a ac loss and bam!

[11:06] HackNewton: on *buntu, for there to be something other than Grub, that would imply that you installed it yourself [11:06] HaxkNewton, i suppouse we no one have changed Ubuntu default, so it would be grub... [11:07] mien: are you seeing the bios? [11:07] okay ;) [11:07] JimXL, yeah. I can see bios [11:07] i figured it would be something with the raid configuration but i thing i have tried every available option :) [11:07] Sounds like mbr might be hosed, [11:07] stercor_: /etc/default/grub -> change GRUB_GFXMODE= to your desired value, then 'sudo update-grub' and reboot [11:07] mien, if that sever is rwo years old I think it is the esc key to pull up grub [11:07] *two [11:08] nit-wit, ill try that. [11:08] mien What distro? Version? [11:08] are there any good download managers for Ubuntu? [11:08] frxstrem: filezilla [11:08] frxstrem: define 'download manager [11:09] frxstrem, kget or uget [11:09] szal: What's the format for the resolution? [11:09] frxstrem: uget and fatrat are 2 I can think of quickly [11:09] stercor_: x (w/o the brackets) [11:10] frxstrem, i prefer uget though [11:10] frxstrem: ive heard people go on about jdownloader too [11:10] JimXL, im not the guy who installed the system but my colleauge told me it was ubuntu 10.4. But its defenitly ubuntu, not very sure about version. [11:10] frxstrem: I use fatrat on my fileserver :) [11:10] JimXL, HackNewton, ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll check those out :) [11:10] szal: Too easy ;-) [11:11] mien; OK [11:11] Esc didnt work either [11:11] i think ima try to boot whith a live cd and reinstall grub to mbr [11:11] thanks for the help guys. [11:12] mien, sounds like a plan. Good luck. [11:12] my new pc was an optical out; but it doesn't seem to support 5.1 (DTS) in ubuntu === hugo is now known as Guest93680 [11:12] (sorry, audio related) [11:12] mien and fsck the partitions while you have the live cd booted [11:13] daurnimator, are you tried changing default audio setting ? [11:13] daurnimator, if yes go for additional driver installtion [11:13] HackNewton: yeah, theres analogue 5.1 abd digital stereo. [11:13] I recall a live cd/menu on Ubuntu? once that had a reinstall grub option. anyone else recall ever seeing This? [11:13] no digital 5.1 :( [11:13] HackNewton: any idea what drivers are needed [11:13] i also don't mind if its 5.1 over hdmi I get [11:14] dr_willis that would be nice. Haven't seen it though [11:15] daurnimator, well there is no all in one solution for your driver you have to see which is your h/w vender. There is utitilites in USC which can help you to install Third party drivers [11:16] JimXL: i aware I saw it on a Ubuntu cd once.. I only use Ubuntu, unless it was some variant. [11:17] guys is there any way to enable rpm packages in ubuntu ? (i know it sound stupid :} ) [11:17] !alien | HackNewton [11:17] HackNewton: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [11:17] ! alien [11:17] Can/Will someone kick stercor? I can't logon with that nick because it's already in use. [11:17] HackNewton: what for? [11:18] stercor_: ask in #freenode [11:18] hmm a space keeps getting adds after I do a! [11:18] stercor_, you should have register your nick [11:18] stercor_: close the other Irssi instance ;) [11:18] HackNewton generally you only want to convert the rpm to tgz via alien and install it. never convert it to a .deb unless you want to break your ubuntu [11:18] HackNewton: stercor is registered. [11:18] szal, there is no such [11:18] szal: There is only one Irssi instance. [11:19] ikonia: Will do. [11:19] stercor_: /msg nickserv help see "ghost" for example [11:19] stercor_: there has to be another if it responds to CTCP queries [11:19] stercor_: ask in #freenode for help [11:19] wols, thanks i am crystal clear now :D [11:19] stercor_: ps aux | grep irssi [11:19] stercor_, if its yours then just login in it [11:19] stercor_: if you get more than 1 PID for irssi, you do have another running [11:21] HackNewton: there is no such what? [11:22] Hello! [11:22] hey [11:22] My Ubuntu 10.10 became read-only unexpectedly, how to fix it? [11:22] szal, i mean there is no such special thing to do [11:22] I tried to reboot, but it does not boot === look is now known as Guest98994 [11:22] just hangs in initramfs [11:22] szal, just want to know possibility [11:23] I get console and every line begins with "initramfs>" [11:23] vdemedes: try booting to liveCD and fsck-ing your partitions [11:23] vdemedes: by running fsck on your / filesystem [11:23] what should I run exactly?

[11:23] parameters [11:23] vdemedes: man fsck is a good start [11:24] vdemedes, when that initramfs shows up,, did you try typing "exit" after about 5 seconds to see if it boots to the desktop? [11:24] szal, :) [11:24] coz_: nope === stercor_ is now known as stercor [11:24] between, if I installed Windows 7 after Ubuntu(still exists) and I want GRUB menu to appear on startup. I should boot into LiveCD and run "sudo update-grub"? [11:25] vdemedes: usually 'fsck /dev/insertDeviceNodeHere' will do & it'll autodetect the filesystem; if it doesn't, however, you might want to invoke the specific filesystem checker, e.g. 'e2fsck' for ext2/3/4 partitions [11:25] vdemedes, the only reason I ask , is that on my system,, with scsi drives,, it does the exact thing,, I have to type exit then ajust rootdelay in grub [11:25] vdemedes, it will not work [11:25] HackNewton: why? what should I do? [11:26] !tell vdemedes about fixmbr [11:26] If I want to make Ubuntu and Windows accessible from GRUB menu [11:26] vdemedes, please see my private message [11:26] vdemedes, because Windows dont like Linux too much so it does not let you to install grub [11:26] HackNewton: sorry, not finding anything; what data would help you help me? [11:26] HackNewton: that is nonsense [11:27] ikonia, its true , if not you give reason why big company like MS does not let grub install ? [11:27] HackNewton: Microsoft does not stop grub from being installed [11:27] ^^ [11:27] wols: thanks! [11:28] thanks everyone! [11:28] ikonia, well let it be its long debate [11:28] HackNewton: no it will not. [11:28] vdemedes: how did you install your OS? [11:30] os-prober tool has issues finding the windows installs at times it seems [11:30] kodez: Windows or Ubuntu? [11:30] anyone able to help with my digital audio problem? [11:30] vdemedes: both. which one did you install first? [11:30] daurnimator, I think that may depend on the issue itself,,, what is going on? [11:31] coz_: i can't get 5.1 out over HDMI or optical. (steero works) [11:31] kodez: Ubuntu(usual install), divided HDD into partitions(one for Ubuntu & swap, one for Windows), installed Windows 7 [11:31] kodez: that's all [11:31] there are bios-anti-virus setting that can block mbr apps [11:31] daurnimator, ah ok,, have you checked in either or both #alsa and #pulseaudio channels? === jeremy is now known as Guest6135 [11:32] between, I forgot to mention, that filesystem became read-only and no free space [11:32] coz_: nope; doubt #alsa would help [11:32] vdemedes, oooo [11:32] daurnimator, well they probably can however,, dont hesitate to ask in #pulseaudio,, i would think they have more resources to work with [11:33] coz_: i've idled in #alsa for a year or so; its mainly about how to code with alsa libraries ;) [11:33] daurnimator, understood [11:33] ok I'm gone [11:33] vdemedes: please install windows first and ubuntu last. this is because windows doesn't recognise any file format except ntfs or fat [11:33] read only and full disk?/ [11:34] hard disk failure detection. can make them remount read only [11:34] dr_willis, for sure,, as well as high temps [11:34] hello all [11:35] trying to install a canon printer: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/plain-99702 [11:35] this dual boot issue has been discussed here before. track the page http://ubuntu.searchonirc.com/?d=2011-07-13-13 [11:35] the libcupsys2 package is needed so i downolad it and then: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/plain-99703 [11:35] any idea? [11:35] how can I list currently installed packages from command line. dpkg -l seems to also list formerly installed packages [11:36] !info libcupssys2 [11:36] Package libcupssys2 does not exist in natty [11:36] g4: no, it lists current packages [11:36] vDubG__Gone: also only install Windows to a portion onf the space rather than 100% which is default [11:36] g4: dpkg -l | grep '^ii' [11:36] ubottu, i now, i downloaded the .deb [11:36] tiresias: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:36] !info libcupsys2 [11:36] Package libcupsys2 does not exist in natty [11:36] vDubG__Gone: wrong target, sorry [11:36] !find cupsys [11:36] Found: cupsys-driver-gutenprint, libcups2, libcups2-dev [11:36] jrib: thanks! [11:37] g4: if you have aptitude, you can also do: aptitude search '~i' [11:37] hmm. windwe why a cups lib would not ne included. unless its version specific [11:37] jrib: ok, thanks again! [11:38] ive learned to not buy canon printers for linux machines. ;) [11:38] dr_willis - buy a brother, they have support [11:38] that should be an ongoing "motto" for linux dont buy cannon [11:39] you learn always to check support before buying. [11:39] thats what i got now. [11:39] dr_willis, sure but it's my parents printer ;) [11:39] coz_: or kodak [11:39] HP epson are good [11:39] ActionParsnip, for sure [11:39] coz_: canon is getting better, as are lexmark [11:39] hello === ||ll||ll|| is now known as Tibi77 [11:39] tiresias: that lib seems to be in the repos. [11:39] I have a nice story about my oki laserprinster, which had support in windows up to xp, then they stopped developing drivers, so around I stopped running XP on any machine at home and switched to win7, now all of a sudden ubuntu had gained support for it. that was nice. [11:39] tiresias, try sudo apt-get install -f to see if it fixes any of this [11:40] dr_willis, the name changed to libcups2 so maybe is it possible to fix by creating a link? [11:40] unless its some weirdly specicic lib for just that driver [11:40] ActionParsnip: really? Lexmark used to be an absolute no-go on Linux [11:40] coz_, ok i try [11:40] szal: yeah they seem to be getting better, still not 64bit though [11:40] my old canon worked perfectly, just plugged it in and ubuntu detected it automatically and set it up. It's probably best to check linuxprinting.org on a specific model [11:40] tiresias: what model exactly? [11:40] tiresias: that implies the code using the old lib name is well.. old. that guide may be outdated [11:40] * ActionParsnip sticks to HP [11:40] * szal too [11:41] * coz_ likes epson [11:41] szad, mp210 [11:41] <[diablo]> Hi... I have two proxies ...one which is our corporate http proxy, plus I have a local socks proxy running. I would like to make totem use the socks proxy, but I can not see any options to do this.. anyone know how please? [11:41] * HackNewton too likes HP [11:44] i have a question [11:44] ok [11:44] we are listening [11:45] is there anyway to modify the installatoin disc to deploy a custom /etc/skel directory [11:45] cores, you could use remastersys to creat your own revision I believe [11:45] Easiest way to install grub to mbr with a live cd? Is it to mount my old system to some dir and make a chroot or is there any smart utiliy? [11:45] create [11:46] mien: with the right grub command you dont need to chroot [11:46] !ficgrub [11:46] !fixgrub [11:46] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

How do I create a virtual interface on ubuntu? (I do not want to add an ip alias to eth0, I need a seperate virtual interface) [11:51] !upstart | woky [11:51] woky: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:51] Phylock, I have noticed this occurs with compiz git,, video memory gets filled and things begin to lag big time at leas on a dual monitor system,, blaming the nvidia driver mainly,,, let me check hold on [11:52] woky: how did you install vbox? [11:52] Phylock, one thing is to open ccsm and check which refresh rate has been assigned [11:52] So I did 'start vboxdrv' and it says it's unknown job [11:52] coz_ - it is a dualmonitor setup, can i install an older version of compiz? [11:53] dr_willis: apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-dkms [11:53] Phylock: ive seen guides on downgradeing compiz [11:53] hey who is ready naw [11:53] Phylock, well, not sure that is going to help,, I would check refresh rate under general options ,, untick "Detect refresh rate" which will enable the refresh rate slider and play with that,, another thing,, is to open ccsm / prreferences and reset to defaults [11:54] Python132o, or in terminal compiz --replace & disown [11:54] hello [11:54] Gud morning [11:54] only files with name 'vboxdrv' are in /usr/src and /var/lib/dkms [11:54] shadyzgeek: need help?

[11:55] coz_ - yep [11:55] iceroot: copared to systemd, upstart sucks :P [11:55] Phylock, ah I am reading some issues with lazer mouse being the cause of the issue [11:55] woky: systemd doesn't look like being ready for prime time just yet -- just read the opensuse-factory mailing list ;) [11:56] Phylock, let me link you to the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/764330 scroll down to Phhil Doroff post [11:56] Ubuntu bug 764330 in compiz (Ubuntu) "Move window annoying slow with compiz" [Undecided,Confirmed] [11:56] szal: I'm using it in my home PC, no problems so far [11:56] Phylock, I would read through all the posts there as well [11:57] coz_ - ill do thanks [11:57] need some help in here... [11:58] tryng to install Ubuntu 11.04 on a Lenovo B560 laptop. The wifi does not work, tells me that its disabled by a hardware switch.. Although the switch is actually on and the bluetooth is being detected. I have already removed acer_wmi module. Unable to figure out further. [11:58] please help [11:59] So I did 'dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-ose-dkms' and vboxdrv suddenly appeared ... [11:59] I solved my problem by installing 'tunctl' from the uml-utilities package, created a tap device, which does what I need. [12:00] Deesl, have you checked if there is some on/off in bios? [12:02] Deesl: if you run: sudo rfkill unblock all does it work [12:02] mien: its on.. I have done that [12:03] ActionParsnip: I have tried rfkill but as per the manpage rfkill does not work on hard blocks [12:03] my network interface is hard blocked [12:04] is it true that wireless card does not work in virtualbox [12:04] Deesl: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a Thanks [12:04] ActionParsnip: hang on [12:04] shadyzgeek: its seen as a wired NIC in virtualbox, it will work [12:04] shadyzgeek, the wireless card is not what is used in virtualbox === arazilla is now known as blurose [12:05] shadeslayer, it makes a virtual network adpater that bridges with the physical one you have installed [12:05] mornin === blurose is now known as blurose_ [12:05] aetas, morning [12:06] ActionParsnip: lsb_release says no LSB modules [12:06] o.k so Action u mean it always works [12:06] shadeslayer, yes [12:06] and lshw says the network is disabled [12:06] its a broadcom 4313 BTW [12:06] and the STA module is installed [12:07] shadeslayer it bridge the Lan but not the wirelwss [12:07] shadeslayer, it will bridge to whatever the active network connector is on your computer [12:07] rfkill says brcmwl-0 is hard blocked and ifconfig -a DOES show the eth1 interface [12:07] *connection [12:08] ParkerR: nick tab fail :P [12:08] Yep XD [12:08] * shadyzgeek [12:08] hi, i have a script that i want to make start at startup. The problem is, i need to add arguments to this script. For example: ./script.sh start how can i make that command run at startup? [12:09] !tell mman about rc.local [12:09] Deesl: ok then: cat /etc/lsb-release [12:09] mman, startup applications [12:09] System > top menu > startup applications [12:09] ActionParsnip: its natty 11.04 [12:09] mman: is it for after your user logs in?

Installing virtualbox? [12:11] no a shadeslayer [12:11] ActionParsnip, /root/tomcat5.5/bin/catalina.sh start as easy as that? [12:11] on a virtualbox [12:12] mman: that's fine, just add an ampersand at the end or the boot will hang [12:12] mman: /root/tomcat5.5/bin/catalina.sh start & [12:12] shadyzgeek: what are you trying to do on virtualbox? [12:12] shadyzgeek: lol, shadeslayer is a nick in here ;) [12:12] ActionParsnip, that line was already there and nothign happened:P but ill add it [12:12] mman: storing applications in root's home isn't terribly organised [12:12] hahaha [12:12] den think i was misinformed === LittleFool`off is now known as LittleFool [12:12] lol [12:13] thanh slaz [12:13] I'm trying to install Oracle10gXE but I ran in strange dependency error. Here are the details: http://pastebin.com/tCZCC91i [12:13] dpkg thinks 2.13-0ubuntu13 is less than 2.32 [12:13] dpkg thinks 2.13-0ubuntu13 is less than 2.3.2 [12:13] ActionParsnip, its just a script that runs an app in other location [12:14] woky, that cannot be fixed easily [12:14] what? [12:14] ActionParsnip, nop, it still doesnt run [12:14] ParkerR: why? why --force-* doesnt work? [12:14] mman: was it above the exit 0 line? [12:14] woky, because tons of packages depend on libc6 so updating it breaks everyting else [12:15] And you have an unusable system [12:15] ActionParsnip, yes. MAYBE it has to run after the boot [12:15] Hey everyone. [12:15] ParkerR: but the version in Ubuntu is 2.13-0ubuntu13 which is cleary higher than 2.3.2 isn't it ? [12:15] even --force-all doesn't work :/ [12:15] I hope someone can give me some quick help with Netatalk 2.2 [12:15] 2.3.2 > 3.13 afaik [12:16] mman: yes, the script is called at boot time [12:16] ActionParsnip, actually that is the only line i have above the exit 0 [12:16] some apps may require specific versions od libs. ;( [12:16] *2.13 [12:16] mman: except the usual comments ;) [12:16] ParkerR: I don't think so [12:16] lemme check [12:16] Anyone running Netatalk 2.2 beta? [12:16] ActionParsnip, yup except the usual commens [12:16] Question: hi any one know gtkmm here? [12:17] mman: what does the script do? pastebin your rc.local [12:17] wernerdev, MysteriousMan: ask your real questions [12:17] khanh2416 [12:17] ngockhanh [12:17] Thanks to OS X Lion I had to update to Netatalk 2.2 for TimeMachine to work again. [12:17] dr_willis, it starts tomcat [12:17] Even if it was higher than current version, why --force-all don't force it ? [12:18] Update went fine except for that it's slow upon first connection... [12:18] wernerdev: this channels for ubuntu support, we don't support netatalk or mac os here [12:18] wernerdev: that's Apple for you [12:18] Well my thought was: Netatalk runs on Ubuntu [12:18] So maybe there is something known about 2.2 beta 4 [12:19] mman: it could be its getting ran befor networking is fully up. try a 'sleep 30' above the command in rc.local - no & at the end. to make it wait 30 sec [12:19] dr_willis, http://pastebin.com/Gx8m6VqJ [12:19] But I will look somewhere else then... [12:19] wernerdev: it does, but you're not using it on ubuntu , so use the net talk support resources or the apple ones [12:19] wernerdev: if there is, check the bugtracker [12:19] Ok [12:20] ikonia: you sure he isn't running his netatalk on ubuntu? [12:20] wols, no he said on Mac OS X [12:20] wols: he said he was running it on mac and thanks to lion had to upgrade, that gave me a bit of a clue [12:20] :) [12:20] netatalk doesn't run on OSX [12:20] dr_willis, nop, still doesnt work [12:21] No people, I am running Netatalk on Ubuntu Server :) [12:21] I'm not that stupid :P [12:21] ??? [12:21] ikonia: do you know what netatalk is? it lets linux talk to OSX machines. mainly used for time machine. e.g. that OSX time machine can backup onto some ubuntu harddisk storage for example [12:21] Using it on my Ubuntu NAS server. [12:22] mman: could be it needs to be ran with different enviroment/path settings, or some other quirk. cd to the dir where the script is at then run it perhaps. [12:22] wols: yeah, it was just the wording [12:22] wernerdev: my apologies if I missunderstood [12:22] No problem [12:22] ActionParsnip: I reinstalled the STA driver [12:22] Miss Understood? ;) [12:22] dr_willis, still on the rc.local? [12:22] but it still tells me that the interface is disabled by a hardware switch [12:23] how to change the size and the color of label ?? [12:23] wernerdev: but as you can see, hard to get help for it here. some OSX channel or better yet, netatalk support place is probably best. too specialized a questinn. you could also check the ubuntu bug DB [12:23] mman: yes. or make it run some other script that does the cd, then sleep thenruns the command.. perhaps log the errors to a file also [12:23] !tell Deesl about rfkill [12:23] hi, i would like to install xen 4 on ubuntu but i do not see it in any repository [12:23] Wasup wesside, I iz ere wiv none oder than my main men!

[12:24] Plotcitizen__: please try to talk in English [12:24] Deesl: use rfkill [12:24] wold: Thanks, I had a quick search but there is no Netatalk channel as far as I know. But thanks. I'll look somewhere else indeed. [12:24] * szal smells a troll [12:24] Plotcitizen__: you want to stop and behave right now. do you have a ubuntu related support question? a real one? [12:24] wols: rfkill does not work with hard blocks [12:25] and szal in case you think this is a troll, I can post screenshots [12:25] No, I'm here for an interview. [12:25] oops [12:25] Deesl: I'm not talking about you [12:25] * Deesl apologizes [12:25] Plotcitizen__: this channel is for ubuntu support, if that's not something you need please don't take the channel offtopic [12:25] !find xen | fulc [12:25] fulc: Found: libc6-xen, libjaxen-java, libjaxen-java-doc, libxen3, libxen3-dev, aide-xen, autopkgtest-xenlvm, convirt, dtc-xen, dtc-xen-firewall (and 15 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xen&searchon=names&suite=natty§ion=all [12:26] I am wondering if this is actually a damaged hardware...

[12:27] Deesl: I don't think it's a damaged hardware. I think it's just frustration dealing with rfkill / software switch / hardware switch. I went through one myself. [12:27] dr_willis, didnt work with cd. mmm let me show you what the script does: http://pastebin.com/MxSrVt4t [12:28] ActionParsnip: no I dont [12:28] mman: a neat trick i use is to run apps on their own console so i can see error and logs see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/openvt.1.html [12:28] ActionParsnip: this laptop came with freedos... and I decided to put on Ubuntu [12:29] ActionParsnip: the only hardware kill switch is the once I can see at the front.. and it controls both WIFI and Bluetooth and since the bluetooth is being detected, the switch is definitely in "ON" state [12:30] mman: i wonder if theres not some env variables not.set when ran from rc.local [12:30] ActionParsnip: brcmwl-0 still reports as Hard blocked [12:30] dr_willis, thats what i also though. Maybe it has to run AFTER boot [12:31] Good morning. I need some help with my web server (samba). I entered a new web address into httpd.conf and set the port and everything, but I can't get it to show up in teh browser... any ideas? Is there somewhere else I need to enter information? [12:31] AdamT_: something is not right. samba is not a webserver for starters [12:31] AdamT_: webserver != samba AFAIK [12:31] and httpd.conf is pretty much empty last I checked [12:32] AdamT_: grep -r -i listen /etc/apache2/ [12:32] mman: rc.local is the last service to start. so with the sleep it is the last... but rynning from rc.local may have differedt path and other settings then the users bash shell does [12:32] hi i am looking for a tool that can resize batches of images graphically (frontend for imagemagick or something like that) [12:32] Yeah, I'm not real sure what I am doing... the person before me set this all up. [12:33] AdamT_: what is that you are trying to achieve? [12:33] Question : how to change the size and the color of gtkmm label ?? [12:33] wonderworld: why not just use imagemagick considering that it is a gui program also [12:33] dr_willis, yup, as you said!! this is what the log says: Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined [12:33] At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program [12:33] Deesl: is this a loaptop? If so what model? [12:34] our domain has different sites put up like, it.domain.com, mail.domain.com etc... and I want to add another instance for a new ticketing system I am implementing.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [12:39] <[tla]> hi. failed natty upgrade. trying to install openssh-server and get "no instrallation candidate". apt-get update runs ok. ideas? [12:39] coz_ - Thanks a lot, it solved my problem. Switched from "mouse" driver to "evdev" in xorg and no more lagging. [12:39] okay.. but is b43 not supported on 4313? [12:39] phper_, see the eolupgrades link [12:39] Deesl: sure [12:39] Phylock, excellent :) [12:39] ActionParsnip: you still want me to install fwcutter? [12:39] [tla]: apt-cache policy [12:39] wols: were you just wanting the ports? [12:40] still not having any luck with 5.1 dihgital audio output [12:40] Deesl: no, install . trying to install openssh-server and get "no instrallation candidate". [12:40] oops [12:40] ActionParsnip> Deesl: sorry b43-fwcutter [12:40] can i add transparancy to the panel slide down menus?? [12:40] <[tla]> wols: ok, i can run that. what am i looking for? [12:41] im trying to use gparted to resize a partion, but I am getting an error msg [12:41] [tla]: for the whole output [12:41] im using natty narwhal [12:41] newb: is the partition mount which you are trying to resize? [12:41] newb: are you resizing a partition you are currently using (mounted) [12:41] newb: what error msg? [12:42] The partition could not be unmounted from the following mount points: [12:42] ActionParsnip, ThinkT510: don't guess & ask proper evidence before giving advice :) [12:42] hi, do you know if is there a text editor in which I can insert words in real time through a script ? [12:43] It is not my main had drive [12:43] newb: i suggest you resize in the livecd, be sure the data you need is backed up in case of catastrophe [12:43] im just looking to add a basic compiz setting i bet, i want my panels to have 40 percent transparancy... anybody able to help??? [12:43] szal: true, but 9 times in 10 its the cause [12:43] faLUCE: why not using "cat filename >> file-to-add" [12:43] ActionParsnip: did you see my last message? [12:43] I've added upstart job which starts executing my simple script for recording audio(arecord) in infinite loop, but first iteration of the loop gives me broken file. In boot loog I see this ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' [12:44] but how do i do it with gparted [12:44] <[tla]> wols: all the output is pointing at natty releases but lsb_release -a reports maverick still. is it because it thinks it is still running maverick so will not use the natty repos? [12:44] Deesl: I can't see it, sorry [12:44] wols: where should the config be for the web addresses if not in httpd.conf [12:44] iceroot: because I want some more complex scripting, like: insert at a specific linenumber, move cursor etc. [12:44] newb: again, use a live CD [12:44] newb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition [12:44] <[tla]> wols: i am on a serial console so can't paste apt-cache output [12:44] AdamT_: /etc/apache2/sites-available/ normally. has NOTHING to do with an IP or Port at all. and man a2ensite to enable the site(s) [12:45] I am having trouble installing the game Braid. Can anyone help? [12:45] newb.. what are you trying to accomplish.. a duel boot.. just a storage partition.. ? [12:45] newb: same method, just in liveCD [12:45] ActionParsnip: I asked, considering this is a BCM4313 which is not supported by b43, will b43-fw-cutter be of any use? [12:45] faLUCE: vim, emacs, sed [12:45] wonderworld: sorry about that try display to see if that works [12:45] faLUCE: all of them can do that [12:45] [tla]: you need a natty main repository [12:45] hi. i have ubuntu 11.04. i installed the package "startupmanager" to manage the boot of the installed OS, but the changes made are not applied. anybody haves a idea about what happens? [12:45] I copied my hard drive to a bigger hard drive, now there is unallocated space hence I want to resize the new harddrive [12:45] Deesl: seems to be supported by STA [12:45] I don't understand, how do I upgrade my 8.04 ubuntu, what command I run? [12:46] !eol | phper_ [12:46] phper_: 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 [12:46] newb: boot from a LiveCD and resize from there [12:46] ActionParsnip: yes it is... [12:46] phper_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [12:46] dmdevotee: isnt startupmanager to let you choose what programs start in ubuntu??? thats not your grub.. [12:46] right [12:46] Deesl: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source; sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl; sudo modprobe wl [12:46] strangely, another B560 works perfectly... [12:46] just this one [12:46] phper_: you can upgrade to 10.04 I guess [12:46] but I am now booting from my old hard drive so the new one is extra at the moment so it shoulddt be a problem [12:46] iceroot, phper_: 8.04 is still supported on the server, so update-manager and do-release-upgrade should work just fine to upgrade to 10.04. [12:47] newb: then unmount it and do it [12:47] newbie why I can't upgrade to 11.04? [12:47] how to unmount [12:47] can anyone tell me how to add a transparency to my ubuntu 11.04 panels??? [12:47] <[tla]> wols: i have 4 * natty/main lines for amd64. 2 have the en_GB translation and the line starts with "500". The other two start with "-10" [12:47] in the termina; [12:47] tristan3199us i don't understand what are you saying. i only know that in ubuntu 10.10 worked [12:47] Pici: ah yes, they didnt move the 8.04 repo yet because of the server-edition. thanks for the hint [12:47] phper_: cause you can't leave out in between versions. your 8.04 is a LTS so you can upgrade to 10.04 LTS and from there to 10.10 and from there then finally to 11.04 [12:47] i have natty narwhal.. [12:47] what ever number that is.. [12:47] phper_: because that's not supported as in 1 step; what is supported is 8.04 -> 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04, and in that case a reinstall is faster [12:47] wols: ? [12:48] tristan3199us: no I cannot. and natty is 11.04 [12:48] ActionParsnip: still nothing... it still says disabled by hardware switch [12:48] phper_: reinstall will give a cleaner OS too [12:48] Deesl: is there a key shortcut to press and enable the device? [12:48] tristan3199us i only want to windows start at first option. is there any software that works in ubuntu 11.04 to manage grub=? [12:48] newbie ok, I am new at upgrading, what is the command I need to input in my terminal to upgrade to 10.04? [12:48] Deesl: have you rebooted since installing the driver? [12:48] once I've sudo su 'd in terminal, how do I get out of root? (without shutting terminal) [12:49] mang0: exit or ctrl-d [12:49] Deesl: you may want to blacklist b43 and ssb [12:49] Pici: ctrl-d did it tahnkyou [12:49] ActionParsnip: yes there.. is and that is enabled as well... I believe the key shortcut is a software block and it is toggling correctly as reported by rfkill [12:49] dmdevotee: edit /etc/default/grub. there you can select which one to start by default. after that, run update-grub [12:49] how do i unmount [12:49] Can/will someone help a noob manually nvidia drivers on 11.04 that I downloaded from nvidia's website? =/ [12:49] ActionParsnip: the laptop has been rebooted and b43 and ssb is not even loading [12:49] newb: umount [12:49] *install [12:50] <[tla]> wols: do those lines sound ok? [12:50] Nebz: why aren't you using the nvidia driver in ubuntu? [12:50] phper_: did you actually bother to read the webpage we've been giving you? [12:50] tlyu: useless information since not enough given [12:50] I am, but apt-get won't pull the latest [12:50] how do i find the mountpoint [12:50] Even after I added the nvidia repo [12:50] newb: "mount" [12:50] wols, is there any software to do this? [12:50] szal: I am trying, but I don't get it very well [12:51] dmdevotee: yes. a text editor [12:51] Nebz: Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in, sudo sh /whever/you/put/it/NVIDIAblablabla clicketiclicketi.. reboot and you're done [12:51] i mean any software like startupmanager [12:51] thx Slart!! [12:51] Nebz: oh, you might want to uninstall the nvidia driver from the repos first [12:51] Hmm, ok. [12:52] From terminal I suppose? [12:52] hey i have a 265ram pc. do i have to consider something or can i just plug some more ram in the ram free ram slots? [12:52] Deesl: that's cool, does dmesg give any clues? [12:52] salat: ##hardware [12:52] Deesl: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see access points? [12:52] <[tla]> wols: i am on serial console. what exactly do i need to tell you for it to be useful? [12:52] salat: ubuntu has no problem if there is suddenly more RAM than before [12:53] tlyu: if you are using the default main repo of ubuntu. that's where openssh-server is in [12:53] [tla]: ^^ [12:53] is there a way tat we can forcefully logout a user in gdm/kdm @a particular time of the day?? [12:53] vikapi: cronjob [12:54] in that file appears: GRUB_DEFAULT=6, but in fact, the first option is selected when i reboot [12:54] wols: can u explain??wats the command in cronjob for gdm/kdm? [12:54] dr_willis, just added the variable to the rc.local but still doesnt work. Still same problems here is my new rc.locale http://pastebin.com/76Sxp3H6 [12:54] <[tla]> wols: i have"http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty/main amd64 Packages" [12:54] [tla]: and apt-get update works for it? [12:55] mman: rc.locale is wrong [12:55] hi i run ubuntu 10.10 plugged my 32gb usb pendrive in and it won't mount it giving an output error about superblocks, that's the dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/649943/ plz help i have important work files on it, thanks [12:55] <[tla]> wols: yes but get "no apt-get update [12:55] Slart should I disassociate the nvidia repo or just uninstall the current driver? [12:55] can you specify the user to run a process as in an upstart configuration? [12:55] [tla]: hub? that's gibberish [12:55] does turbo boost work under ubuntu? [12:55] wols, sorry typo but its rc.local [12:55] Punna: it's hardware, so yes it works [12:55] dmdevotee: are you sure you've run "update-grub"? [12:56] dmdevotee: and run it with sudo? [12:56] Nebz: both [12:56] iceroot: do you mean that I can open a document with vim and send commands to the editor instance? [12:56] wols: yes [12:56] wols: When I use a2ensite i have the options of default and default-ssl. Default is already enabled [12:56] dmdevotee: pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg [12:57] <[tla]> wols: sorry, wrong keyboard. yes, update runs with no errors. upgrade says 15 packages are kept back - one of them is update-manager-core [12:57] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: does it have data in it?? [12:57] slacker_nl: ping [12:57] on my hard drive there is dev/sdb1 & dev/sdb2 how do i combine them, this is an external hard drive [12:57] vikapi: like i said i do have important work data on it [12:58] newb: you don't, they are two seperate partitions [12:58] newb, delete sdb2 and extend sdb1 but save data first. Gparted will do [12:58] how can i backup files in ubuntu? [12:58] I get this: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ar.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_restricted_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [12:58] newb: you could copy the contents over and delete the empty one then resize the other [12:58] and how can i use l dap [12:58] ldap mean [12:58] my package manager is behaving abnormally http://pastebin.com/nRuDFDDF My /etc/apt/sources.list file is pasted here http://pastebin.com/kbKBW2KC === alec is now known as Guest76605 [12:59] please help me out [12:59] sudoers what is ommand? [12:59] phper_: did you add the old-releases sources to your sources.list? [12:59] xendras: run « sudo apt-get update » [12:59] there is a key sign on the gparted by sdb1, hence it is locked not sure how to change this [13:00] xendras: what is this line deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main1? [13:00] szal: I don't know how to do that [13:00] AdamT_: < AdamT_> wols: where should the config be for the web addresses if not in httpd.conf < wols> AdamT_: /etc/apache2/sites-available/ normally. [13:00] faLUCE: you can send directly something into the document with sed [13:00] xendras: why does it have a 1 in the end? [13:00] phper_: it's described in the page [13:00] AdamT_: it's there you add the site and only if added, THEN you can run a2ensite [13:00] iceroot: I need to move cursor too [13:00] Wols: thx [13:00] szal: so the error can be handled then? [13:01] faLUCE: have a look at #vim or #emacs [13:01] phper_: most probably yes [13:01] okthanks [13:01] AdamT_: and apache2 does not care at all about a "new IP". it listens by default on all interfaces [13:01] iceroot: too much complicate . I would prefer some editor gui friendly, like gedit or kate [13:02] somebody knows an alternative to the package "startupmanager" that works in ubuntu 11.04? thanks [13:02] faLUCE: emacs has a gui [13:02] faLUCE: gvim also [13:02] wols: ok in sites available I have default and default-ssl, in a sites enabled folder I have 000-default. will seeing the code shed light at all? [13:02] dmdevotee: if you don't answer question and provide info when asked for it, we can't help you. [13:02] xendras: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/cmake-curses-gui it's in the universe repo [13:02] have some problem im all new to ubuntu. The first thing is that i cant get my second display to be rotated. And the other thing is when i first started ubunto i got like a start menu with evering opon and after restart i only come to a serchbox and shortcut menu when pressing the ubuntu bottun i want it like a start menu can i change that? [13:02] AdamT_: no. I told you you need to add the config file for the new site apache needs to serve pages for [13:02] dmdevotee: is it for a graphical desktop? [13:03] jrib but i don't want to edit files, i want a software to do it easily [13:03] actionparsnip it is ubuntu 11.04 desktop [13:03] dmdevotee: then you either write it yourself or you pay someone to do so [13:03] dmdevotee: all that app does is make normal .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart [13:04] dmdevotee: works in ANY DE [13:04] dmdevotee: I see. I don't know of such a program. But /etc/default/grub provides an option per line; I don't really see how a gui could make it any simpler [13:04] ActionParsnip: he's talking about grub default selection (so far), nothing about autostart. he must be confused [13:04] actionpasnip was thet ment for me? [13:04] I am using mavericks default kernel 2.6.35 but i am using and AMD Fusion APU. I've read that fusion only has support on the .38 kernel version. Am I missing alot? or should I upgrade even if kernel .38 is giving me issues? [13:04] wols: I think this is set up differently then you are thinking. there are not config files in sites-available [13:04] dmdevotee: what do you want to edit? [13:05] jvgeli, thought you were using natty with oneiric kernel [13:05] actionparsnip windows 7 to be loaded first instead of ubuntu [13:05] AdamT_: there are two files in there default and default-ssl, right? [13:05] AdamT_: there should be. That is the directory for the definition of your vhosts [13:05] Yes [13:05] AdamT_: maybe you should start again and tell us exactly what you need to do [13:05] how to export environmental variables? [13:05] mman: export to where/what? [13:05] mman: env > file.vars for example [13:05] bazhang: had to remove it. Too many issues. very very unstable. [13:05] im on xubuntu and im trying to share some folders over smb but im missing shared folders under applications system any ideas? [13:06] iceroot: I know, but they are not user friendly [13:06] wols, no, i wan to use them in rc.local [13:06] jvgeli, then upgrade to natty if you want that kernel === salat_ is now known as salat [13:06] dmdevotee: cd /etc/grub.d; sudo cp 30_os-prober 30_os-prober_backup; sudo update-grub [13:07] hi i run ubuntu 10.10 plugged my 32gb usb pendrive in and it won't mount it giving an output error about superblocks, that's the dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/649943/ plz help i have important work files on it, thanks [13:07] oops [13:07] not that [13:07] mman: and I want a pink pony [13:07] I took over this position about 2 months ago. Someone set up our webhost server and I am trying to learn/change some things about it. Right now we are hosting several sites from this server and I want to add another site. We have sites like it.domain.com, wiki.domain.com etc... and I want to add a new one called support.domain.com [13:07] dmdevotee: cd /etc/grub.d; sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober; sudo update-grub [13:07] jrib: ActionParsnip: thank you ..It worked !! [13:07] mman: any variable you want to use there you have to set yourself first basically [13:07] dmdevotee: that'll do it :) [13:07] xendras: wtg [13:07] im on xubuntu and im trying to share some folders over smb but im missing shared folders under applications system any ideas? [13:07] wols, ok [13:07] xendras: note jvgeli comment about "main1" though. I noticed that too and I have not heard of such a section [13:07] wols, didnt know that [13:08] bazhang: thats the problem, Natty doesnt play well with my APU.fglrx is slow, i get freezes on startup if i am on battery and my wifi and bluetooth is softblocked even if my hardware switch is on. I dont get these things on Maverick. I just upgraded to Natty as they say that Fusion is only supported by kernel .38 [13:08] AdamT_: whoever managed your apache2 before is a moron and didn't set up vhosts the way he should have. so your first order is to find out how he mangled it (that is if default and default-ssl are the only entries in /etc/apache2/sites-available/) [13:08] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: tried to fsck the stick? [13:08] ActionParsnip: interesting stuff, I just pulled out the hard disk from a working B560 and put it in this one.. and guess what, wireless stopped working [13:09] AdamT_: however, I doubt you can competently manage the server before learning quite a bit [13:09] so.. there is nothing wrong with the installation... [13:09] the OS installation I mean [13:09] bazhang: kernel .38 has more issues than kernel .35 i think. [13:09] Deesl: weird [13:09] Deesl: how did you call rfkill again? [13:09] szal: will i lose the data like this? plus i dunno how to do it [13:09] now why the hardwre switch is not working is the question... [13:09] wols: rfkill unblock all and rfkill unblock id [13:09] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: you will never lose data as you will have a backup of your important stuff, right? [13:10] but afaik, rfkill does not matter hardware blocks [13:10] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: you might, but if you do, the data was corrupted in the first place. do a backup if you can beforehand [13:10] wols: those are the only 2 files in sites-available. Inside the httpd.conf file there is the definition of each site with the servername and document root using [13:10] unless I am going completely wrong... [13:10] thats why i believed that was where i should put it [13:10] am I right is assuming rfkill does not matter for hardware blocks? [13:10] AdamT_: ok, he mismanaged your server :( [13:10] ActionParsnip: right... nope! [13:10] wols: haha love that XD [13:10] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: then it's high time before you do anything possibly data destroying [13:11] Where is the file containing the deb and deb-src lines? [13:11] AdamT_: what are you running? lsb_release -a [13:11] AdamT_: basically you can either do a quick fix and set up a virtualhost the same way he did, or fix his mess which will take longer of course [13:11] AdamT_: okay, each unix admin is different... the server he sets up tells his character [13:11] stercor: /etc/apt/sources.list [13:12] I used apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) to install kernel headers, vbox Guest Additions still complains that the correct kernel headers are not installed. What am I doing wrong? [13:12] oCean: Thanks! [13:12] running ubuntu 9.10 karmic [13:12] AdamT_: that's and eol version [13:12] wols: i did set up a virtual host like he did, but cannot get it to display. was wondering if I needed to set up something elsewhere as well [13:12] ActionParsnip: basically i gave this pendrive to a colleague and he used it on a windows machine with ext2soft (i think it's called like this) itz a software to read ext formatted hard drives from windows, i guess he just unplugged it without closing the software first, what could have happened? i have no backup of that stuff, help plz [13:13] AdamT_: restarted apache2? [13:13] wols: yes, and the server several times [13:13] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: all data you don't have backups of isn't important :P [13:13] AdamT_: and your DNS server resolves the new subdomain too? [13:13] Hey I just installed Archlinux, I'm now doing running speaker-test, but how do I stop this program [13:13] wols: eh let me re-check real quick [13:13] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: possible data corruption [13:14] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: plus, handling ext2/ext3 on Windows is highly unstable in my experience [13:14] B166ER: wrong channel [13:14] How to stop speaker-test [13:14] B166ER: -> #archlinux [13:14] AdamT_: your 9.10 is no longer supported. You have to upgrade first. Specific httpd help can be found in #httpd channel [13:14] B166ER, this is ubuntu support [13:14] I know but apparently I can not post in that channel for reasons I don't understand [13:14] First time I use IRC [13:14] !register | B166ER [13:14] B166ER: 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 [13:14] AdamT_, whats the problem? I missed it, sorry [13:14] B166ER, #freenode for that [13:14] B166ER, you need to register your nick I think [13:14] ok thx! [13:14] ActionParsnip, szal: ok so what do i do? [13:15] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: slap your friend and educate them is a good start [13:15] one sec, checking dns settings [13:15] Argh! Firefox just WON'T uninstall. I've used the package manager, and I've tried using the software center [13:15] it won't go away [13:15] ActionParsnip: sorry but i dont have time for sarcasm [13:15] what do i do? [13:15] How do I totally get rid of it? [13:15] mang0: what is the output of: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox [13:16] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: you may be able to use foremost to see what it can recover, why don't you have a backup [13:16] mang0: use a pastebin to host the text [13:16] wols: missed my last question? [13:16] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: I told you long ago what to do. feel free to ignore it even longer [13:16] im on xubuntu and im trying to share some folders over smb but im missing shared folders under applications system any ideas? [13:17] Deesl: yes. but: there is a soft and a "hard" rfkill setting IIRC [13:17] Deesl: but unblock all should have catched it afaik [13:17] alazare619, system => administration => samba [13:17] wols: okay.... [13:17] so ... bad hardware... [13:17] unanimously accepted? [13:17] alazare619: smbclient -L [13:18] Deesl: no. personally, I'd try a windows from anywhere first [13:18] and use the lenovo software they provide to enable wlan [13:18] wols, symbolic links have to be redifined in rc.local? [13:18] ActionParsnip: sorry, here http://www.pasteall.org/23415 [13:18] mman: no [13:18] wols, thnks [13:18] mman: symlinks are a filesystem thing and work always as long as the kernel works [13:19] ActionParsnip: looks like it want's to install epiphany. I already have opera and I don't want another browser... [13:19] I try to restore my grub installation on a raid 1 system. I tried to boot with ubuntu livecd and mount the dist to do a grub-install but since grub install requires a /dev/sda on the ending i cant do that from the livecd cuz /dev/md0 does not exist. any soulutions? [13:19] mang0: then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove epiphany-browser; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [13:19] okay [13:20] ActionParsnip: fsck worked, fixed my prob, i got the files now [13:20] thanks [13:21] wols: okay... so install windows.. and say its working ... then where do we troubleshoot? === honza is now known as Honik === development_ is now known as Alexsv [13:21] Deesl: basically you enable it in windows, reboot to linux and pray it then works (which it usually does) [13:22] wols okay.. thats a hell of a hack :D [13:22] Hey. I haven't used Ubuntu before, so I'm not sure whether that is normal behaviour; I'm used to source-based linux distributions and I'm using linux for more than 14 years (I just want to point out, that I'm not an unexperienced user, so also "difficult" aproaches might be helpful to me). I just compared a plain Ubuntu installation with Lunar's. In X11 when I move the mouse very fast my lunar gives me at maximum a cpu usage of 8% for XOrg (no nautilus t [13:22] here, xfce4). The Ubuntu gives me 20% cpu usage for XOrg and 20% cpu usage for nautilus (gnome). I did some things to the Ubuntu Install (putting /tmp to tmpfs, replacing getty with fgetty, setting noatime for the partitions except for home, where i use relatime, such stuff) and the cpu usage went down to 11% for XOrg and 11% for nautilus. [13:22] wols: is this just to turn on his wifi card? [13:22] Deesl: it sucks but that's ACPI for you [13:22] wdp: which video chip are you using? [13:22] so I need to *get* a copy of windows :D [13:23] As far as i know, this shouldn't happen. That usage should be between 1 and 10% at most. Also I'm wondering why it's happening for "nautilus" also, that's just a file browser, why is it getting a load when i move the mouse? [13:23] ActionParsnip, plain install, ATI KMS i guess. [13:23] i have had wireless switches turn off in linux. but i had to boot to windows to turn wireless back on.. i think a later update fixed that quirk for that laptop. i just never ever.. use that switch ;) [13:23] wdp: nautilus also draws the desktop icons, its not just a file browser [13:23] ActionParsnip, i checked glxinfo | grep render - it's not Software Rasterizing. [13:23] wdp: makes no sense. if you move your cursor and it causes load it's most probably X or one of its drivers (e.g. 3D driver needing lots of CPU) [13:23] I need antivirus software for linux . Any recommendations ? [13:23] wdp: custom build vs. generic build, I guess [13:23] szal: not that much === honza is now known as Honik [13:24] tomek try CLAMAV [13:24] i see. [13:24] is there a way to "test" the rc.local without rebooting the server? [13:24] wols: well, 8% vs 11% is not that much of a difference, if you ask me [13:24] ActionParsnip: I uninstall firefox, and epiphany installs, I uninsatall epiphany and firefox installs ;__; [13:24] tomek_: why do you need it.. [13:24] for security purposes [13:25] tomek_: you do relize its jusg going to scan files for windows viruses.. [13:25] tomek you don't have to worry about viruses, adware, etc [13:25] szal, depends. Those 11% alone would be okay, but i get 11% for nautilus and 11% for XOrg - means 22% of the cpu are used just for moving the mouse. [13:25] yes, windows [13:25] tomek_, i use mcafee command line, good in my eyes [13:25] and do little for 'security' theres several av tools for linux, clamav is in the repos [13:25] However; Is there something i could do, to improve that? Are there alternatives for nautilus? Would using a propritary driver fix that issue? [13:25] szal: 8% is too high from the start imho [13:26] there are av live cds out there also. [13:26] szal: and this was after doing some shit that has no real bearing on the mousepointer too [13:26] Deesl: I have some copies of legit windows if you want one...very, very old though haha [13:26] mang0: uninstall both at the same time [13:26] ActionParsnip: how? [13:26] aetas, got it samba wasnt installed in synaptic reinstalled and found the icon thanks [13:26] tomek_: you don't need AV software [13:26] Hi all [13:26] sudo apt-get remove epiphany, firefox? [13:26] alazare619, np, glad you got it working [13:26] mang0: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox epiphany-browser; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [13:27] mang0: XP is still usable for what he needs to do === engrid is now known as sundar [13:27] Deesl: windows has some legit/legal free rescue isos you can get also. but not sure about drivers for wireless in them. [13:27] hi poeple.. short question: since yesterday or so I always get a message: WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed! when using aptitude I also can not use the "software-center" anymore [13:27] wols: k [13:27] aetas, had me stumped tho why the hell isnt samba installed by default in xubuntu or any xfce distro now? [13:27] ActionParsnip: k [13:27] any idea what hapened? [13:27] howlymowly: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade (close software centre etc first) [13:27] alazare619: its not default in ubuntu either. [13:27] ActionParsnip, or any idea how to debug what's causing that? [13:27] is there any way to boot the live cd with raid support? === engrid is now known as sundar [13:28] alazare619, not everyone uses it. actually I very rarely use it [13:28] dr_willis, it use to have the shared folders icon tho that would install it thats missing too [13:28] wdp: not sure, seems a bit weird, it the RAM healthy? [13:28] yep. [13:28] ActionParsnip: It's still not working. Now it wants to uninstall epiphany, not install firefox, but install 200mb of other stuff I don't want [13:28] mien: there must be or you couldn't have installed onto your raid [13:28] wols: I have X running at somewhere between 7 and 10%, occasionally spiking to 15%, and moving the mouse pointer in circles doesn't do much to increase that (5% at worst) [13:28] wols, thats right, do u know how i can do it too? :) [13:29] alazare619: i can access windows sharew without it.. and if i set up a share it asks to install samba [13:29] mang0: is there any reason you can't just install ffox and remove epiphany afterwards? [13:29] wols: and that is after 5 days of uptime [13:29] mien: since I don't use a raid, n :) [13:29] wols: I don't want firefox [13:29] or epiphany [13:29] szal, see, here it's differently. X idle is 0-1% cpu. Moving the mouse is nautilus 11-25% and XOrg 11-20% :) [13:29] mien: software or hardware raid? [13:29] wdp: gnome/unity? [13:29] i just installed ubuntu LTS [13:30] and did an update. i guess unity is not installed. [13:30] just gnome. [13:30] aetas, software [13:30] * szal blames Gnome [13:30] at login screen you can make it so you dont load unity by choosing gnome classic wdp [13:30] aetas, i would like be able to mount /dev/md0 [13:30] mang0: show us the exact output of your command or it's not possible to help you (imho). and chances are you must have some browser or other installed due to dependencies. and no opera doesn't count since it's not a properly made .deb [13:31] wols: I installed opera from a .deb [13:31] mien, this is linux kernel software raid or what? [13:31] but okay, I'll pastebin [13:31] wdp: my suggestion is to use a light environment without any 3D rendering or such [13:31] alazare619, there just gnome and gnome (secure mode or something, got it translation) [13:31] mang0: read what I wrote [13:31] s/there/there's [13:31] wols: ah [13:32] wdp: http://digitizor.com/2010/05/10/how-to-install-unity-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [13:32] aetas, what i want is to have /dev/md devices recognized, i dont know much about raid... [13:32] mang0: is your diskspace really so precious that you need to save the 10MB or so ffox/epiphany uses? [13:32] ActionParsnip: I doubt he wants to [13:32] wols, mhm. Yeah. guessed so. I was just hopeing that anyone here would have an idea how to configure nautilus differently for example. Like not updating the desktop in realtime or something. [13:32] wols: why? [13:32] mien, Im basically asking what you used to set the raid up [13:32] ActionParsnip: read the log [13:32] wdp, odd you could install xfce desktop enviorment that doesnt have unity then remove gnome then no more unity, unity hates my pc for some odd reason [13:33] alazare619, heh. Thanks so far :) [13:33] mien, see if this helps at all http://www.jeffsplace.net/node/14 [13:33] aetas, default presets for raid 1 in the ubuntu installation [13:33] wols: I'm not following you [13:33] wols: well not really, but I'd rather not have them. Just annoying. Lol. http://pastebin.com/2Mcan6Kq ActionParsnip <---- [13:33] mien, ok yeah, try the directions on that website. it obviously detected it since it has the device [13:33] wdp: experiment: use a very basic driver (VESA?) and see if the same happens. imho it's probably something like transparency or such that fscks up. you know, the "fancy stuff" [13:33] ActionParsnip, people report, that "removing" unity would help in my case, as unity is not even installed, installing it would cause the opposite effect. [13:34] ActionParsnip, thats, what he means. [13:34] wdp, what kind of graphics card are you running by chance? [13:34] some odd onboard ati graphiccard. just a sec. [13:34] aetas, thx alot! exactly what i was looking for [13:34] wdp, is this one of the shared ram onboard cards like laptops have? [13:34] mien, np, it work? [13:35] mang0, As ActionParsnip wrote, you need a browser which is a proper .deb [13:35] aetas, yeah. i can add ram in the bios. currently its set to auto (32mb) [13:35] aetas, soon we will se :) [13:35] lemme guess, that's causing it? :) [13:35] mang0: or you fake one via equivs [13:35] in this case it wants to install konqueror ;-) [13:35] wols: ? [13:35] * wdp forgot about that. [13:35] Joupi: bother. [13:35] wdp, ok what wols said is kidna right expecept afaik vesa is just for intel have you tried applications > sstem > hard ware drivers ? and installed the proprietary ati drivers for your card? [13:35] mang0: apt-cache show equivs [13:35] k [13:35] having some issues with Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and php's ftp package... ftp_nlist is simply not working [13:35] alazare619, vesa is for nearly every graphiccard :) [13:35] wdp, those aren't full graphics cards since they share the ram. if you throw 3d effects at them they usually cause higher cpu/mem usage than fully hardware ones [13:36] zerium1: does a normal ftp client work? [13:36] wols: yes and so does php from my mac [13:36] aetas, i disabled effects; and i dont think theres a lot 3d needed to draw a moving mouse cursor. or? [13:36] same code, same connection [13:36] Can you upgrade kernel 2.6.32-33-generic to 3 on Ubuntu 10.04? [13:36] wdp hmm i havent read about vesa in awhile [13:36] i thought it was that my tmpdir wasn't set but I set it in my path and still not working [13:36] wdp, was this always this way or did it start at some point? [13:36] wdp: normally mouse cursors are hardware cursors (even on IGPs), but maybe it chose a software cursor for some reason? [13:37] Murdock [13:37] Hello everyone. Can someone help me create a new database [13:37] hi moreno [13:37] Krenair: yes but we cannot support you then as you will be using a 3rd party kernel [13:37] Krenair: what for? [13:37] Anthony_, care to be a bit more specific? [13:37] Krenair: there's not even a stable release of kernel 3.0 yet [13:37] ActionParsnip, 3rd party kernel...? [13:37] aetas, i never used ubuntu before; so i can just compare with different distributions. On those i never used gnome, so i can only compare with xfce4. And thus.. all my comparisations are somehow fail. However; this is a "fresh" install of ubuntu LTS. Downloaded the iso today, installed today. Updated today. [13:37] szal: https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts [13:37] Krenair: there is a kernel ppa, use it at your own risk. I suggest you simply wait for oneiric to be released and use that (or use the alpha 2) [13:38] Krenair: yes, not maintained by the ubuntu team [13:38] Krenair: basically, anything but the ubuntu made kernels is unsupported. including using a kernel from a different ubuntu version, tho there are reasons why this sometimes is needed. what is your reason for kernel 3.0? [13:38] Krenair: there might be a solution for your problem without changing kernels [13:38] ActionParsnip, Linux is not maintained by the ubuntu team [13:38] wdp, ok that helps. hrmm...lemme think if there's something else to try [13:38] wols: I do not have a problem, I want to try out the latest kernel version. [13:38] Krenair: that's (1) upstream and (2) 11 hours ago; last package I saw was 3.0-rc7 [13:38] aetas: I need to create a new database on our server, for a ticketing system i am installing [13:39] aetas, i can provide additional information if useful. like lspci, glxinfo, xorg log. dmesg. [13:39] Krenair: ah, SNS syndrome then [13:39] wols, SNS syndrome? [13:39] hi all, I have a mod_perl web site running on centos, and I want to migrate the site to Ubuntu, but in centos the site directory is in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/ [13:39] szal: 3.0-rc7 is a release candidate [13:39] I am talking about 3.0 [13:39] when i open an mp3 i can use the slide to move forward/backward... [13:39] hi [13:39] Krenair: Shiny New Shit Syndrome is a serious disorder, which usually breaks out into an epidemic every time something new is released. If you have SNS, ask me about and ; these are better options than upgrading to because it is a . [13:39] somebody help me? [13:39] using totem movie player [13:39] !tell moreno_ about ask [13:39] moreno_, please see my private message [13:39] Krenair: yes but the kernel tried and tested for the release is packaged by the ubuntu teams, if people start using kernels not ntended for their release then they are on their own [13:39] Excuse me what Can I use ubuntu? [13:40] wols: any idea? [13:40] Murdock: your question doesn't make sense [13:40] Murdock: please rephrase your question [13:40] Murdock, can you explain that differently? I am not sure I understand [13:40] !language | wols [13:40] wols: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [13:40] hello All, [13:40] zerium1: no. but a strong suggestion: stop using ftp. it's evil. [13:40] wdp, I know you can change the mouse poll interval and also if the polling rate is set high it will start sucking up cpu. on vanilla ubuntu this is changed in CompizConfig Settings Manager but I'm not sure on there [13:40] I can hack alien starship whit ubuntu? [13:40] wols: if i had that option i would... clients [13:40] I don't have that directory in my ubuntu, so my question is, under which directory does mod_perl sites resides? the site is written in pure mod_perl not cgi [13:40] moreno_: sure [13:40] moreno_, no [13:41] D': [13:41] Why? [13:41] moreno_: no. only macs can do that. now stop trolling and ask your real question if you have one [13:41] wdp, that likely isnt going to be the root cause but it may alleviate some of the symptoms while you find the problem [13:41] aetas, hm. yeah. i know how to change the polling rate at the boot loader. as its an usb mouse. [13:41] gabungnya gmn? [13:41] might be a try worth. [13:41] zerium1: sftp ftw [13:41] wols: yeah gotta connect to this shitty windows box [13:41] aetas: i just want to create a new database for a ticketing system I am installing [13:41] wasanzy: under /var/www like any other website [13:42] Anthony__: your 9.10 ubuntu version is no longer supported [13:42] zerium1: there are ssh servers for windows... [13:42] !language | zerium1 [13:42] zerium1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [13:42] ok afaik my samba shares are all up and going now can someone point me in the right directory for a nice gui for a easy ftp server gadmin suites hate me [13:42] might be good not to keep it in var/www so as to confuse the script kiddies [13:42] wdp, whats the general load on the system right now? I know if you have no other apps running, it will let X suck up more especially if the poll rate is higher [13:42] Anthony_, that doesn't help man, there's many different database systems [13:42] Where Can I find a guide for ubuntu? [13:43] aetas, second, im collecting infos.

[13:43] Anthony__: you have to upgrade first [13:43] aetas: yes [13:43] wols: I know in centos, the documentroot is /var/www/html/ but still, that was not the path mod_perl was using, is it not some kind of special directory for perl? [13:43] just asking though [13:43] Who is ubottu? [13:43] !ubottu | Murdock [13:43] Murdock: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [13:44] I know now xD [13:45] wasanzy, perl doesnt have a special directory, although people will use cgi-bins usually [13:45] aetas: mod-perl too? [13:46] hi. i seem to have lost the volume control speaker icon in the unity top bar.. any ideas how i can get this back? [13:47] ok, but am using mod_perl not cgi [13:47] Tweaky, what about installing indicator-applet-complete [13:47] you just have to make sure you configure it correctly [13:47] what are you trying to do? [13:47] Hi, I have a weird problem, my cdrom was working fine previously, but lately, when I put a cd in, after sometime it just ejects...can someone help me diagnose what the problem might be ? I have an optical drive [13:47] ok [13:48] bazhang: it is already installed [13:48] Tweaky, what about re-adding it [13:49] I'm about to migrate to a new machine, and I have already done sudo dpkg –get-selections > installedsoftware ... but some of those packages are from different repositories than what /etc/apt/sources.list say. Should I just copy over /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?? [13:49] bazhang: im not very framiliar with unity.. how can i do this? [13:50] anybody ? [13:50] Nautilus shows my secondary hard drive when I boot into Ubuntu, but applications cannot access it until I've opened the drive with Nautilius. How can I make the drive accessible without having to open it in Nautilus?

[13:55] Hi, Guys I installed ubuntu with wubi, now when I enter ubuntu from the boot menu, I see an error message: No WUBILDR and then grub prompt appears, I have some important files inside ubuntu. Please help. [13:56] thrillERboy, they're not gone so calm down ;) [13:57] :) [13:57] * thrillERboy is worried [13:57] aetas, i'll try a bit around. im sure something of the stuff will help. I'll let you know if i was able to solve the issue. [13:57] First thing I'll do after getting ubuntu back up, is installing Dejavu :D [13:58] can someone point me in the right directory for a nice gui for a easy ftp server gadmin suites hate me [13:58] direction not directory [13:58] wdp_buntu, cool, Im interested to see what helps [13:58] whats the easiest way to transfer a mail server from os x to ubuntu [13:59] thrillERboy: it is possible to mount the wubi disk file and access things in it. from a live cd. i dont use or reccomend wubi at all. [13:59] alazare619, ftp SERVER or CLIENT? just to make sure [13:59] server wdp [13:59] ive tried proftpd with gadmin gui but i could not get it running right [13:59] no idea about gui there; i'm using pure-ftpd and proftpd, they're quite nice and easy to configure, without gui. [14:00] maybe take a look at pure-ftpd's documentation. [14:00] thrillERboy, did you just install this or is it an old install? [14:00] dr_willis: I don't have a live cd now. I can I burn one now? [14:00] ill check them out without the gui i just dont want to have to hand edit 10k .config files you know :P [14:01] guys i have an empty 250 hd that is all unallocated [14:01] aetas: I've using this with ubuntu and win7 for like 3 months [14:01] what should i do in order to use it to store data? [14:01] aetas: I did a bad shut down today and now the grub menu appears :( [14:01] thrillERboy: you can make them with windows . yes. [14:01] thrillERboy, probably trashed the filesystem [14:01] aetas: you mean all files are gone?? :/ [14:01] dyd: partition it, format it, mount it.. [14:01] thrillERboy, do you have a rescue cd / live cd? [14:02] no, it means its unclean although its possible you could have done damage but not that likely [14:02] Hi, I have a weird problem, my cdrom was working fine previously, but lately, when I put a cd in, after sometime it just ejects...can someone help me diagnose what the problem might be ? I have an optical drive [14:02] Hi, I have a weird problem, my cdrom was working fine previously, but lately, when I put a cd in, after sometime it just ejects...can someone help me diagnose what the problem might be ?

Will be back in a moment [14:02] thans [14:02] thanks* :) [14:02] dr_willis: i mean only 1 big partition [14:02] dyd: depends on your neeeds. ext4 should work fine [14:02] thrillERboy, here's a relevant thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 in case you don't come back [14:03] dyd, if its for storage ext3 or 4 if its a main drive i prefer ext2 as its quicker and has less redundancy and writes to the drive but thats just my personal prefrence [14:03] thanks aetas. I'm buring cd now :) [14:03] thrillERboy, so does windows still boot? [14:04] alazare619: since it's for storage i'll use ext4, thank you [14:04] dr_willis: thank you [14:04] aetas: yes, I can boot inside win7 === ok is now known as jimjix2 [14:04] you said this was on a separate hard drive right? [14:05] can wubi go on a drive other then c:? [14:06] thrillERboy, Some suggestions prior to burning: Md5sum the iso image to make sure it's perfect, then burn at the sloooowest speed. [14:06] MicroBot, hi [14:06] Censortron === connie is now known as Censortron [14:06] thansk Sidewinder1 would have missed tat :) [14:06] NP [14:06] thrillERboy, do you still have your ubuntu and wubildr directories in the windows partition? [14:07] aetas, could you do me a favour? please check with top what xorg and nautilus do when you do nothing (cpu usage) using gnome terminal. then move the mouse very fast, what cpu usage do you get for xorg and nautilus? Then stop top and type in xterm -ls & then exit and in the opened xterm do top again and move the mouse again, what cpu load for nautilus and xorg? === toggles_ is now known as toggles [14:08] is Firefox 4 available for ubuntu yet ?? [14:08] conky [14:08] !firefox [14:08] firefox is the default web browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins [14:08] !ff5 | Satisfied [14:08] Satisfied: Firefox 5 is available in Natty/11.04 as an automatic update. If you would like to install it in an earlier release, you will need to use the following unofficial and unsupported !PPA: http://pad.lv/ppa/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ [14:08] aetas: I have some files inside winboot directory inside windows partition namely wubildr wubildr.mbr wubildr.tar etc [14:08] wdp, one sec [14:10] wdp, nothing is X at 11% and nautilus at 2%, very fast is X at 15% and nautilus at 10%....checking the last [14:11] wdp, no real difference on the second command [14:11] wdp, default config of conky will show top 3 entries in top in most DEs -- not sure about unity & Gnome shell, though. [14:11] k [14:11] thrillERboy, ok, hrm [14:11] hello === fx is now known as Guest64265 [14:12] thrillERboy, ok so you are starting win7 and then ubuntu or what? [14:13] Hello, in Natty my trash is showing empty even though I see files in ~/.share/local/Trash/files [14:14] aetas: I can't understand your questions, sorry :) I'm inside windows now. To burn Ubuntu CD [14:14] cdavis: Hi, are they hidden files? [14:14] ActionParsnip: further updates... the wireless card does not work in Windows 7 as well [14:14] thrillERboy, how do you start ubuntu normally? [14:14] so... bad hardware... unanimously accepted now? [14:14] nyuszika7h: no, they are not [14:15] aetas, a moment. thrillERboy , are you wanting to install Ubuntu to its own partition? [14:15] hes burning a rescue cd [14:15] so he can get his files mainly [14:16] although he probably should install it on its own [14:16] Hi, I wondering. How do I get HDMI output working. It seems like my TV get some kind of signal, but its just black on the screen. [14:16] aetas: Normally window boot menu appears, I'll select ubuntu in it, then grub boot menu will appear, now when I select Ubuntu only grub CLI appears. I guess kernal is not loaded. [14:16] Hey people occasionally when running an application my task bar gets stuck in view even when I have a maximised browser it stay in screen blocking the view of the browser [14:16] running ubuntu 11.04 [14:16] any ideas [14:17] arkanabar: I would like that, but I have only one partition now, I have tonnes of files to backup inside windows and ubuntu :( [14:17] thrillERboy, I don't understand why it needs wubi then, you should be able to run it on its own without it [14:17] is there a way to find out if my cdrom drive (hardware) is broken ? [14:17] And then I wonder, if its possible to install some kind of acceleration divers for my laptop? I have dual link with Intel something integrated and some kind of crappy Nvidia ... [14:17] aetas, I think thrillERboy wants to rescue some files from his wubi install [14:18] arkanabar: exactly [14:18] yeah, I told him to make the cd :) [14:18] i want to encrypt my file system. is it save to use an encrypted LVM when install ubuntu /debian with a complex password or is it easy to break this kind of encryption [14:18] * thrillERboy burning cd now [14:18] Oxymoron: sure it is, tho you will have probelms if you use the proprietary nvidia drivers [14:19] W4RH4WK: it's not easy to brak [14:19] wols: Why? :) [14:19] *break [14:19] thrillERboy, so you have it installed into a boot image on the windows partition? [14:19] thrillERboy, go to nonags.com and search for archiving tools, see if you can find one to open up your wubi files. [14:19] Oxymoron: cause the nvidia drivers are proprietary and don't work like linux drivers should work. nouveau does [14:19] W4RH4WK: Why do you encrypt in the first place? [14:20] wols: Well, does nouveau works some kind of stable then or is it unusable as earlier? :P [14:20] i'm having trouble with suspending the system, it just freezes with a black screen, so i read somehwere to use "acpitool", that worked by suspending, but waking up is failing with the same black screen, any solutions? i'm on HP DV6 with dual GPUs [14:20] Oxymoron, encryption is generally a good idea, ESP on laptops. [14:20] yes aetas [14:20] arkanabar: ESP? [14:20] nyuszika7h: I installed the cli tools and emptied the trash. Then I tested by deleting something and it now shows up. Perhaps somethign just got out of whack. [14:20] Oxymoron, i am working with critical data on my laptop, and if i lose my laptop ... [14:20] Oxymoron, sorry. especially. [14:21] arkanabar: do you recommend any specific tools? [14:21] W4RH4WK: Just curious, what kind of critical data? :) [14:21] thrillERboy, ok then yeah, you should try to boot into the rescue through wubi and fsck the partition [14:21] cdavis: Or the file you moved to Trash was a hidden file - those aren't displayed in Nautilus by default. [14:21] W4RH4WK, you may prefer an OS that encrypts the entire disk, eg Mandriva or fedora. [14:21] aetas: meaning inside grub> menu? [14:21] nyuszika7h: I don't believe so, there were about 30 files listed in the files directory. [14:22] arkanabar: Its easier not to encrypt anything ... Even if you do, its not worth it as it can be forced anyway. [14:22] Oxymoron, mainly patient data, dossiers and stuff like this [14:22] cdavis: What do you mean? [14:22] my ubuntu files are inside (hd0,msdos3) [14:22] thrillERboy, you would hop into the rescue cd at that point, yeah [14:22] who needs to encrypt the whole disk? [14:22] W4RH4WK: Aha I see :) Well if anyone even would like the information they could hack your computer anyway :P [14:22] If you use `ls -a', or you have `ls' aliased to `ls -a', it's possible that it always shows hidden files. [14:23] Oxymoron, yes of course, i am aware of this fact. But that's another topic... [14:23] arkanabar: ubuntu can do this too [14:23] nyuszika7h: Within ~/.local/share/Trash/files I could see there were about 30 files listed. However, when opening the trash can the spinner spun for about 3 minutes and eventually dispalyed nothing at all [14:23] Anyone able to help meout with my HDMI output problem? [14:23] Oxymoron, i am afraid of losing my laptop, somebody finds it and starts to blackmail me [14:23] aetas: unknown command: fsck [14:24] W4RH4WK: In other words, I dont see any reason for encrypt it. And if you must, encrypt USB stick or something, and work on only that ;) [14:24] thrillERboy: "sudo" [14:24] W4RH4WK: Why would anyone bother to blackmail a private person? :P [14:24] how can i install a downloaded app? [14:24] !ot | Oxymoron [14:24] Oxymoron: #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! [14:24] thrillERboy, where are you at this point? [14:24] DamnSoGooD: depends on the format it come sin [14:25] @all, encryption is required of anyone storing confidential data, eg medical professionals, lawyers, therapists. @wols, ubuntu encrypts /home. fedora and mandriva encrypt EVERYTHING. [14:25] bazhang: Yeah I guess I go off topic :P [14:25] Oxymoron, well, why not, cash is always a good approach [14:25] hi, i use ubuntu desktop edititon, but my system be laptop edition after update, how to back desktop edition [14:25] I'm in grub> prompt aetas [14:25] DamnSoGooD: what app. and filename [14:25] it is a tar.gz format, it is network manager i will install in a lxde ubuntu [14:25] arkanabar: read what I wrote. and google "ubuntu LUKS pre-boot" [14:25] thrillERboy, ok, one sec [14:25] samet, choose classic [14:25] you encrypt home but what if your private key gets lost? [14:25] DamnSoGooD: don't [14:25] wols: sudo only matters If i'm inside the OS. I hope [14:25] DamnSoGooD, get from the repos [14:26] W4RH4WK: I am not going further in this topic. But I just say, dont be so paranoid. You could even be dead by a meteorite tomorrow xD [14:26] !classic | samet [14:26] samet: 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". [14:26] thrillERboy: < thrillERboy> aetas: unknown command: fsck [14:26] Banshee just became unresponsive. I killed it. Now there's a defunct Banshee process. When I try to start a new one, it just hangs there. No output on the console, no windows open. [14:26] my lappy has no connection, thats why i will install network manager offline [14:26] wols: I'm in grub prompt wols sudo won't help. I'm in nobody's land :( [14:27] thrillERboy, can you try the instructions here? http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583 [14:27] I ran it with --debug and I got this: [1 Debug 10:26:43.082] Bus.Session.RequestName ('org.bansheeproject.Banshee') replied with InQueue [14:27] DamnSoGooD, did you download a .tar or a .deb file? [14:27] Oxymoron, i think you are right and i am just to paranoid... i will install encrypted LVM anyway... at least it doesn't cost me anything [14:27] thanks [14:27] thrillERboy, or do "ls -l" from there [14:27] thrillERboy: "ls" [14:27] W4RH4WK: Truecrypt ;) [14:28] a tar.gz [14:28] Oxymoron, can i use truecrypt for a system partion or do i have to create a single encrypted partiton / container on my fs [14:28] Hey guys! I'm trying to mount a folder with sshfs, it works if i don't use sudo (if i use sudo i don't have permissions for the dir i'm trying to mount), however i would like to mount the dir in /media/ and for this i need sudo! argh [14:29] W4RH4WK: no you cannot. you can use LUKS for it tho [14:29] jnsl_, so change the permissions or add that user to the group for that directory [14:29] wols, ok, ty... i think i once read about LUKS in a gentoo manual or so.. [14:29] jnsl_, or mount it somewhere that user has access and link it into media [14:29] jnsl_: show us the command and output for the time when you try it with sudo, cause this doesn't sound right [14:30] ls -l shows partitions and its info aetas [14:30] okay 1sec [14:30] thrillERboy, ok, try the few lines on that website. I think that will fix it [14:31] jnsl_, adding a line to fstab allows you to mount / unmount as normal user [14:31] wols, I wonder if hes trying to mount it without providing the ssh user and since hes sudoing to root, it tries to log him in as root [14:31] "sshfs jn@myserver:/var/www /media/myserver" this give me "read: Connection reset by peer" [14:32] ...how did you jump from that to permissions problems? [14:32] is there a text editor which I can control through scripts? for example: I can implement a script that writes "foo" in the text editor, or that moves the cursor [14:32] err with sudo that one [14:32] jnsl_, this would be my line in fstab> sshfs#w4rh4wk@xray:/ /mnt/xray fuse rw,noauto,user,noexec,sync,reconnect,fsname=sshfs#w4rh4wk@xray:/ 0 0 [14:32] if i dont use sudo and mount in my home folder it works [14:32] jnsl_: you didn't use sudo above either [14:33] and a connection reset by peer has NOTHING to do what user runs it locally [14:33] wols wopps that was a spelling mistake, sorry, that was with sudo [14:33] anyway [14:33] now for the next laptop [14:33] i will try fstab it [14:33] that won't help right now [14:34] what is the latest kernal version for ubuntu I updated 2 days ago. end its with .10 and starts with 2.6 [14:34] <[tla]> faLUCE: emacs commands are written in a lisp style language that you can extend / reuse as much as you like. may be overkill for what you want though. [14:34] faLUCE: vim? [14:34] I have 3.0. something or other [14:34] faLUCE: I mentioned autokey. Don't know if you got it. [14:34] jnsl_, I think its probably the ssh key problem [14:35] or many be starts with 2.8 I'm not sure, but, I'm sure it end with .10 [14:35] anyone here use nagios? [14:35] jnsl_, can you try and sudo ssh (not sshfs) into that server with the same line and tell me what it does? [14:35] grendal_prime: #ubuntu-server might be a better place to ask. [14:35] Lasers: autokey was for another question [14:35] we got this guy that is continually dinking around with various monitoring apps. [14:35] ok thanks [14:35] thrillERboy: packages.ubuntu.com knows [14:35] aetas permission denied public key [14:35] sudo ssh? im not sure that will work [14:35] how do I get apache to automatically load index.htm files when it gets to directories without an index.html? [14:36] so sudo dosent have the same key as my user [14:36] jnsl_, bingo, there you go. you have public key security setup but root doesn't have the public key that you gave your user [14:36] fix that problem and it should work fine [14:36] faLUCE: Was autokey what you were looking for? [14:36] it should be in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts you can just copy it from that user === snimavat is now known as sn [14:37] ok, i ask dumb now but is it ok to give sudo my ssh keys? [14:37] what do you mean? [14:38] it just puts them in root's known_hosts files and is probably more secure than having them in your user actually [14:38] okay i will try that, thanks :) [14:38] np :) [14:39] somebody can tell me how to smooth my display font. [14:39] shomon: it should be load index.htm if it can't index.html (and some other extensions) [14:39] I thought that too [14:39] how to configure the font in linux. [14:39] it loads the directory listing [14:39] shomon: do you have the "dir" module enabled? [14:40] no idea.. will check... [14:40] shomon: you should have /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.load if you do === magentar_ is now known as magentar [14:40] somebody? [14:40] Would it be bad to use the dd command with a block size of 64m ??? [14:41] thanks tsimpson will check [14:41] dd is just so slow with the default bs=512 [14:41] elijah: once you get over 4mb i think you see no gain and may loose speed [14:42] i thought default was 1k [14:42] I am getting 9MBps with dd running at bs=512, both drives are on esata and can handle way more than that. [14:42] bs=2048 is about all i use [14:42] hi people, i have a question.Am i banana? [14:42] lol [14:42] dr_willis: Do you know what badwidth you get when you use bs=2048? [14:43] there is a point od dim inishing returns with b== [14:43] hi [14:43] ./configure && make of ffgtk gives error: "no capi20 found". How to solve this ?? [14:43] elijah: im always using it for usb. so thats my bottleneck i imagine [14:43] dr_willis: Is it bad or less accurate to use a larger block size? [14:43] How can I make archives when right-clicking in/on a directory with Dolpin ? [14:43] p33: is there any capi library in ubuntu? [14:43] p33, don't you think you should start with "apt-cache search capi20" ? [14:43] elijah: i recall over 4mb is pointless. from my research ages ago [14:44] dr_willis, I imagine it would depend on the system you run it on [14:44] ewww browser IRC [14:44] dr_willis: Hmm, using bs=16m bumped it to 16MBps but bumping it to bs=32m still keeps it at 16 MBps [14:45] dd is just slow on this machine, something has to be a bottleneck [14:45] wols, aetas, downloaded libcapi from here: http://tabos.org/ffgtk/download.php === maxim is now known as Guest79959 [14:45] and compiled into ffgtk/libcapi/ [14:45] p33, its in apt...why? [14:45] p33: that's now what you were asked or told to do [14:45] is there anyone here who experts linux font. I wanna configure it. [14:46] use your package manager first or you're going to likely screw your system up if you install something you shouldn't have [14:46] BluebirdShao: clarify the problem/question [14:46] aetas: because it's written here http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/FritzBox/ffgtk/Kompilieren [14:46] i'm having trouble with suspending the system, it just freezes with a black screen, so i read somehwere to use "acpitool", that worked by suspending, but waking up is failing with the same black screen, any solutions? i'm on HP DV6 with dual GPUs [Lucid] [14:47] dr_willis: how to install a new font in linux and then is there need to configure it. [14:47] can't I just bind the ffgtk/libokapi into ffgtk?? cause for sudo, I ll have to wait ... [14:47] p33, be careful with instructions on websites that don't contain dates, but ok [14:47] When I try to install Empathy, I get "Package dependencies cannot be resolved" and a list of packages... how to I fix that?? [14:47] date: 13. Juli 2011 um 13:16 Uhr [14:48] Have any of you guys used ableton live with ubuntu 11.04? [14:48] do you not have root access to this system? [14:48] not right now [14:48] ... [14:48] in some hours yes, but would like to install it now [14:48] BluebirdShao: i just copy mine to .fonts dir for my user [14:48] 1fonts [14:49] im trying to install ubuntu for the first time and at like 70% a popup says "Bootloader install failed. Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location." Then my options are to 1.choose a different device to install the bootloader on. 2.continue without a bootloader. 3. cancel the installation. obviously i want the first option but idk how. [14:49] !fonts [14:49] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [14:49] give it a try then but understand it may complicate things down the road....atleast you probably don't have permission to any directories it might hurt though [14:49] brb. lunch [14:49] p33: "bind"? [14:49] it likely won't break anything in the least [14:50] p33: what does your configure log say? [14:50] I think he means link but you can't never tell [14:50] aetas: btw, he cannot use the libcapi20 in ubuntu [14:50] wols: "No package 'capi20' found. Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you [14:50] installed software in a non-standard prefix." [14:51] you mean the one in the package manager or the one from that site? [14:51] p33: that's not what is in the log is (or at least there is a lot more) [14:51] on the site [14:51] aetas: he cannot use libcapi20 from the repos [14:51] anyone know? [14:52] interesting....just looked [14:52] dr_willis: in my home dir, i just found .fontconfig, may be it is. [14:52] p33: I'd suggest you go to ircnet in channel #fritzbox but your choice [14:52] BluebirdShao: make a .fonts [14:52] good evening [14:52] many thanks [14:52] bye [14:52] wols, whats the problem with libcapi20-3? [14:52] dr_willis: well, i will take a try. [14:52] wols: http://pastebin.de/17861 [14:53] wols: #fritzbox is empty [14:53] mkdir .fonts cp foo.ttf .fonts [14:53] aetas: this is for a special german router not for some usual linux software using capi [14:53] p33, yeah its trying to run capi20 command and doesnt find it so it shows that [14:53] p33: no it's not. I said ircnet [14:53] hello! I want to backup my mails to a CD. I've used Thunderbird. What is the best format of e-mails to bacup that to a CD? [14:54] wols, can you read german? [14:54] aetas: I am german [14:54] hi. im trying to install ubuntu for the first time and at like 70% a popup says "Bootloader install failed. Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location." Then my options are to 1.choose a different device to install the bootloader on. 2.continue without a bootloader. 3. cancel the installation. obviously i want the first option but idk how. any ideas? [14:54] wols, so yes? ;) [14:54] aetas: and I have the same router [14:54] haha [14:55] Thanks to all who helped me recover my internet last night! [14:55] aetas: same family, but that small difference isn't relevant [14:55] oh so you're the guy who took my internet! [14:55] or at least direct me to a good site for help [14:55] Titanoboa4, can you give us an overview of how you're installing? What hard drive, if you have other OSes installed, etc? [14:55] sure [14:56] might take a min, typing on phone [14:56] wols, yeah Im working off a general knowledge, I couldn't read anythign on there unless I fed it through google translate [14:56] oh jeez [14:56] dr_willis: thanks, man. [14:56] hi [14:56] Titanoboa4: no internet access via live CD? [14:56] probably can't fix it while he talks to us [14:56] what do you mean? [14:57] Titanoboa4, as in boot an Ubuntu live cd and use IRC on that [14:57] Titanoboa4: you have a ubuntu live cd. is there no network access with that? [14:57] how can I know whether my system uses the proprietary drivers for my graphics card ? [14:57] Psydoll: synaptic is GUI front-end. aptitude is CLI front-end. So basically, aptitude (or apt-get) is a CLI version of synaptic. [14:57] gribouille: glxinfo|less [14:57] Titanoboa4, if you're installing from an Ubuntu live environment, some menu somewhere should include a web browser and a chat program -- most likely Epiphany. [14:58] hey guys, is there a ubuntu alternative to itunes? [14:58] wols, glxinfo gives the following error : X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) [14:58] I have banshee but it doesn't come with already configured radio stations [14:58] gribouille: then Xorg.0.log shows the driver name [14:58] i have no idea. i somehow managed to open control center, whatever that is [14:59] mystiqueba, apt-cache search shows rhythmbox, tried it? [14:59] Titanoboa4: what is your normal internet connection (aside from your current mobile)? [14:59] 100mbit/s if thats what you mean [14:59] aetas: does it come with music or do I have to search for them? [14:59] I want to backup my mails to a CD. I've used Thunderbird. What is the best format of e-mails to bacup that to a CD? [15:00] Titanoboa4, that's a configuration utility. I'm fairly well lost in Ubuntu since they went to Unity, and use lubuntu, myself. [15:00] mystiqueba, you want something linked to something like the iTunes music store? [15:00] Titanoboa4: I more mean how you connect your PC you install ubuntu on to the internet [15:00] question guys... how can i check the logs in my system... well more like what logs should i look at... [15:00] hi, i'm running into some serious issues with grub on ubuntu server lts 10.04.2. system hangs shortly after boot, no messages, no log entries. keyboard input gets drawn, though. if i rename /boot/grub/grub.cfg, i can at least get to the grub console. [15:00] my laptop ubuntu 10.04 x64 keeps freezing [15:00] aetas: yes. or a system where I don't have to go looking for radio stations or places that already stream songs [15:00] completely locks up and i have to hard shutoff [15:00] Titanoboa4: trying to determine if you can use the live CD to access the internet since you seem unable to know that yourself [15:00] how can i debug this further? [15:01] oh. burned a cd (ubuntu 11.04) from another computer and booted that [15:01] kongo_86, can you describe what you're doing when your laptop freezes? [15:01] Titanoboa4: have a nice day [15:01] wols, the log file says : "NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 260.19.06 Mon Sep 13 06:37:13 PDT 2010" and "NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs". is it ok? [15:01] wols: :o ? [15:01] After 1 week of solid use of Unity in my work environment... I like it. :) I'm definitely more efficient. [15:01] sorry for being so slow.... [15:01] arkanabar: well this time i was running vmware workstation.. running BT5.. i have and i5 with 6GB RAM [15:01] gribouille: so you are trying to use nvidia but messed it up somehow. "nvidia" is the proprietary driver [15:02] jello? [15:02] i installed wow but i cant find it [15:02] I wonder if I can extract .zip file with gzip ? [15:02] wols, why is it messed ? [15:02] where is the c:\programfiles folder in ubuntu [15:02] gribouille: cause glxinfo doesn't work [15:02] kongo_86, next time, see if ctrl-alt-f1 will bring you to a console login. if so, sudo init 6 will reboot you. [15:02] dualbootah: does not exist [15:03] mystiqueba, may not be a perfect solution but have you tried iTunes under wine? [15:03] dualbootah: if you are running it in wine, then c drive is in ~/.wine [15:03] ok [15:03] wheres that tho [15:03] wols: if i continue without bootloader will i be able to access internet(thus irc) and add bootloader later? [15:03] !fhs | dualbootah [15:03] dualbootah: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [15:03] wols, I didn't do anything special. ubuntu messed it up by itself [15:03] wheres the ~/.wine [15:03] dualbootah, you have to enable show hidden files in your file manager. [15:03] hi does anyone know how to runas in uuntu? [15:03] ooh ok [15:03] sudo runs as root [15:03] i cant find the show hidden files tho [15:03] Titanoboa4: we cannot know. you will be able to boot from live cd and install the bootloader. but if you can use internet from that depends on how you access the internet [15:03] mystiqueba, yeah it looks like ryhthmbox has a store attached to it [15:03] dualbootah, then it is in /home/yourusername/.wine/drive_c/Program Files [15:03] but if I want run program as other user [15:03] arkanabar: i tried it all the way tru f12 [15:04] heli: sudo -u otherusername [15:04] its just completely locks up [15:04] the .wine is hidden [15:04] heli: sudo can run as any other user too [15:04] i need to unhdie it but idk how [15:04] antivirtel: Haven't done that, use migration assistant for backup and sync, but think there is a backkup and/or export add-in, so check there. [15:04] wols: well yeah i can access internet [15:04] dualbootah: you can't. and you don't need to either [15:04] kongo_86, yeah, obviously it does. I'm gonna guess you can't even change your capslock setting. [15:04] wols, how can I solve the problem? [15:04] hello everyone! [15:04] wols its not there it must be hidden [15:04] aetas: ok, I'll install it now and see [15:04] Hello, I have this problem in 10.04 where on the login screen/gdm when switching users or from a fresh start/restart has half the screen as black with a magnified mouse of a sorts, and also, it accepts my password and authenticates, yet throws me back to the login after doing so about 3 times before finally letting me into my desktop. What gives? [15:05] arkanabar: ding ding NOPE! [15:05] I am trying to install Ubuntu on an external 3TB drive. It fails at the end telling me it cannot install GRUB. After searching it has to do with the WD Advanced Format that is lying about being 512 sectors instead of 4K. Also during the installation it only shows me 1/8 of the capacity that is really there while Disk Utility shows me the "real" capacity.(11.04-Natty) [15:05] dualbootah, you will just have to go through every menu in your file manager. I could tell you if it was PCManFM, but you're probably using nautilus [15:05] Titanoboa4: then connect to the itnernet now instead from your phone and pastebin the output of fdisk -l [15:05] aetas, ok. i know now whats causing it. [15:05] oh i got it! [15:05] Titanoboa4: rather, sudo fdisk -l [15:05] i just had to hit control h [15:05] Titanoboa4, it sounds like the install failed so you will likely need your LiveCD in there every boot basically [15:05] wdp: what? [15:05] wdp, yay, what? [15:05] arkanabar: so are they any logs i can look at? [15:05] see what cause it [15:05] ok ut when i use sudo -u username progam then i dont see gui [15:05] kongo_86, you've gone well past the limits of my knowledge. [15:06] gribouille: dpkg -l |grep nvidia for a start [15:06] wols: well im inthe middle of the installation, how am i supposed to connect? [15:06] * arkanabar doesn't fool around with virtual machines. [15:06] anyone know this? [15:06] you supposed to add some sort of opengl line to the wow config.wtf file for it to work on ubuntu graphics? [15:06] arkanabar: no prob!! thanks for your hlep [15:06] does anyone know what line it is [15:06] aetas: I can't find my linux kernal? where can I find it? [15:06] wols, Im not sure hes actually on a live cd, this may be an actual install CD [15:06] dualbootah, go to http://ofwineandwarcraft.blogspot.com [15:06] dualbootah: wow needs a commandline switch for opengl IIRC [15:06] aetas, i'm used to play fast paced ego shooters, so i'm having gaming-mouses from razer here. I changed the mouse polling rate to 1000hz (which is quite fine on my other box) and it causes 50% xorg cpu usage and 17% nautilus usage in ubuntu.. that made me think "wtf". However, on the back of my mouse is a switch for 1000hz and one for 125hz. i just put that switch to 125hz and all is fine. maximal cpu usage at xorg droped down to 8% === faz_ is now known as faz_meeting [15:07] dualbootah, also, search "Linux" and "Wine" at wowhead and wowwik [15:07] Titanoboa4: finish the install and come back with the live cd. we can then (hopefully) fix your bootloader [15:07] okay [15:07] will do [15:07] thrillERboy, ls /boot [15:07] aetas, and im still able to set the hz value in linux manually. No idea whether the mouse uses it, tho. [15:07] wols, the installed packages are: nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-96-modaliases, nvidia-common, nvidia-current, nvidia-current-modaliases, nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-settings [15:07] i found a perfect link [15:07] ty [15:07] aetas, wols so basically.. even if it sounds totally weird, it was the mouse/usb's fault. [15:07] dualbootah, one more thing, check out WoW in appdb.winehq.org [15:07] gribouille: what does Xorg.0.log say? [15:08] wdp, thats what I was thinking. only reason I ran into this is because I have one too and I've had to change the windows polling rate for other mice in the past [15:08] thats quite weird, isn't it :> [15:08] aetas: ls /boot returns a empty line :( [15:08] *arnold voice* i'll be back [15:08] wdp: no. it's the usb/mouse driver's fault imho [15:08] you should be able to change the usb polling rate from the computer and override the mouse's though [15:08] thrillERboy, well thats a good sign [15:08] thrillERboy, hrm [15:09] yup did that. seems to work, and cpu usage is still at 5% when moving. So i guess theres something wrong with the driver or the mouse. [15:09] thrillERboy, can you run fdisk from within there? [15:09] d/j #mises [15:09] wols, a lot: it is 286 lines long [15:09] so well, next time someone comes with similar issues, ask em which mouse they use heh. [15:09] !tell gribouille about paste [15:09] gribouille, please see my private message [15:09] I have a question.. What can I do to restore deleted files on ext3 partition? I know the file name (nohup.out) and some of its content [15:09] unknown command: fdisk [15:10] it can happen on any mice if they change the mouse poll rate, you can do it on normal mice too [15:10] just difficult to realize that. you're looking for a problem with xorg (your GRAPHICAL stuff) and it turns out it was the mouse. [15:10] aetas: unknown command fdisk :( [15:10] I was wounding if anyone would be able to help me or point me in the right direction! I installed XAMPP and mysql will not start. Need help! [15:10] however guys. Thanks a lot for your help. :) [15:10] thrillERboy, hold on a sec [15:10] :) [15:11] wdp, np, glad you're fixed [15:11] gilrez: installing xampp was your first mistake. remove ALL of it. install apache, php5 and mysql from ubuntu repos [15:11] thrillERboy, what about "find /boot/grub/stage1" [15:11] <__kazador__> hola buenos dias [15:11] hola [15:11] muy buenas tardes [15:11] anyone else that can help [15:12] !es | __kazador__, jaime_ [15:12] __kazador__, jaime_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I tried to do this with symbolic links but is not working. Is there any possibility to share directories from separate sources, paths? [15:12] sorry [15:13] wols, you can see the contents of Xorg.0.log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/650034/ [15:13] thrillERboy, this is within the grub menu right? [15:13] kantor: hard link? [15:13] wols, I wanted to create hard links, but the ln command tells me that hard links are not possible for directories [15:14] gribouille: line 141 ff. you are missing nvidia's libglx [15:14] his is it possible to remove the password prompt for a specific user? I want to remove the prompt for the postgres user [15:14] cool [15:14] thrillERboy, actually do "ls -l /" [15:15] wols, what package should I install? [15:15] kantor: check vsftpd config file if you can enable symlinks. tho they have been security holes in the past for ftp. do you REALLY need a ftp server? if so, what for? [15:15] kantor hard links is posible, do you try make hard links in other filesystem ? [15:15] aetas: thanks again.

[15:20] thrillERboy, you still have your image right? [15:20] I only have that one file. [15:20] thrillERboy, what about in just ubuntu dir?

[15:21] thrillERboy, can you grab the working_wubildr files from this thread? try those but backup your current ones too [15:21] gribouille: basically nvidia-current is installed and your glx module should be there fine. maybe reinstall it, apart from that I dunno [15:21] thrillERboy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1400608 [15:21] aetas: Inside ubuntu dir there are install/ Ubuntu.ico unistall-wubi.exe and winboot/ [15:21] kantor, it's true, but you can to try with this options: -d, -F, --directory [15:21] kantor, it's true, but you can to try with this options: -d, -F, --directory [15:21] thrillERboy, hrm [15:22] sorry i'm repeat [15:23] wols, can all the nvidia drivers be installed with apt-get? === altin_away is now known as altin [15:23] gribouille: all supported versions, yes [15:25] thrillERboy, is that fuse_hidden file the size of a CD or DVD?

[15:29] /usr/lib32/nvidia-current/ is empty [15:29] thrillERboy, Im really sorry man but if you can't find your image which I hear should be in C:\ubuntu\disks then I think you're at a standstill. I would try a Windows NTFS restore program to see if it can locate your disk files and restore them [15:30] gribouille: LANG=C that will give us english error messages [15:30] gribouille: then you clearly did something wrong [15:30] gribouille: e.g. not running w/ privileges (though that should've aborted earlier in the process) [15:31] szal, I just removed the package and reinstalled it [15:31] Okey aetas Thanks, So my disk image should be inside C:\ubuntu\disks right? [15:31] gribouille: have you ever had drivers from nvidia.com installed? [15:31] wols, I don't think so. why? [15:32] gribouille: btw, what card are we talking about? [15:32] thrillERboy, yeah...your best bet is to try the NTFS restore which I have gotten to successfully restore files before, especially if its not been that long since it went missing. after that do a chkdsk on that drive as well [15:32] szal, nVidia Corporation G84 [Quadro FX 370] [15:34] WHere can I find audio or video tutorials for ubuntu?

I already have a few filerecovery programs on my desktop, will also try NTFS Restore. Thanks a ton. I can't thank you enough :) [15:36] thrillERboy, I wish I had a better answer for you but usually a bad restart doesn't do that much harm these days so I think a restoration will be successful atleast. If it restores but doesn't boot, you can atleast pull the files out of it [15:36] going through youtube atm, but any other sites/sources`? [15:36] aetas: you means windows system restore? [15:37] thrillERboy, NTFS restore that image, then you can probably mount/open it with something and get your files even if it won't boot [15:37] anyone know if adobe flash is in the repos?

[15:45] I know fedora and redhat uses rpm [15:46] gribouille: warnings. not relevant to your problem. they're about HDTV acceleration, not 3D support [15:46] hoshi: we don't support neither Arch nor Gentoo nor openSUSE nor Fedora nor Red Hat.. you can try asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic though [15:46] aetas: yes. through USB. Wireless tethering is working but I'd like to see if I can get the USB tethering workin [15:46] wols, ok [15:46] hoshi: or you could browse DistroWatch & get a clue [15:46] hoshi: or in the respective distro's channel [15:47] Hey guys.

The force command tells it not to care. You need to log a bug [16:07] alex--: thats all I know [16:08] Dori922: not being rude, but the project you are doing it a total waste [16:08] ActionParsnip, ok.. thanks. It is surprising as I have a more or less vanilla lucid install [16:08] wow... ok so I guess I didn't try enough and fell suspect to my assumptions [16:08] thanks though [16:08] ActionParsnip: how to mark it as executable? [16:09] alex--: chmod +x file also make sure your user is either the owner, or a in the group which has group ownership [16:09] turns out when selecting the USB tethering option I have two choices. Windows or Mac osx... I assumed and was choosing Mac OSX assuming it would be more closely matched... well... turns out it doesn't work (hence me asking)... but chose the windows option for kicks... and worked immidiately [16:09] ActionParsnip: i did [16:09] ikonia: nah dude its awesome, i really appreciate you telling me this :D so your suggesting getting new hardware in to run the UEC with KVM instead of running UEC with XEN? [16:09] now i get segmentation fault [16:09] when i run it [16:09] alex--: what is the app? [16:09] mta-server [16:10] so... there's my lesson learned. aetas ActionParsnip thanks for your time sorry I kinda wasted it [16:10] Dori922: Xen is a dead in relation to now more advanced technologies such as kvm [16:10] Dori922: what is UEC? [16:10] ActionParsnip: mta-server [16:10] wols: enterprise cloud [16:10] on a machine without VT? what server comes without VT? [16:10] wols: Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, its Ubuntu Server with Eucalyptus cloud features [16:10] ActionParsnip: In the future, I don't think you should suggest using the tactic you just did to fix a dpkg issue. Using --force-all can be dangerous. Also, I don't even see those package versions in Lucid, so something weird is going on.

[16:27] wols : no [16:27] zero_errfa: then put in in a ubuntu live cd and run the fdisk command [16:27] wols : the computer that has the problem is a server, that i can't shutdown while people in the company still working [16:28] zero_errfa: you cannot get onto the server at all? [16:28] zero_errfa: How did you install a hDD on a machine you can't shut down? [16:28] wols : i have access to the server, but can't shut it down [16:28] zero_errfa: Additionally you said that with the hdd in you can't boot becuase you get stuck at grub? [16:28] edbian : when everbody leaves the comapany [16:28] zero_errfa: are you hotplugging that harddisk? [16:28] zero_errfa: can you ssh to that server right now? === cece is now known as Guest7197 [16:29] wols : yes, but i've removed the new hd, becaus every time i plug it, the system doesn't boot, grub appears, show debian normal and security mode , but when i select one of then, the system crashs [16:30] wols, I managed to fix the problem with glx. now, I have another problem : the screen resolution is limited to 1024x768, while it used to be 1280x1024 [16:30] zero_errfa: debian or ubuntu? [16:30] wols : debian [16:30] you're in the wrong room [16:30] ubuntu [16:30] gribouille: intall nvidia-settings, run it and change it there [16:30] zero_errfa: please go to the #debian channel here on freenode then [16:31] wols : but isn't a generic problem?

[16:37] wols, a problem with sshfs [16:37] when I log in to my account in my laptop a message appears saying that my battery might be old or broken, is there any way to fix this or should I just buy a new battery? [16:38] wols, nvidia-settings reads the contents of the current directory [16:38] lsv: is the battery old and broken (ie doesn't hold a charge anymore)? [16:38] wols: is does charge, but it last less time time. [16:39] wols, nvidia-settings doesn't offer the resolution I want [16:39] gribouille: then you might have to force it via xorg.conf [16:39] How do I tell what wine version I have? [16:39] (from terminal) [16:39] wols, how ? [16:40] looking for app that will create swf slideshow that autoadvances; created one w/ libreoffice, but must click to advance when embedded on web [16:40] Can someone check how big /boot is? [16:40] gribouille: X -configure and then editing it. make sure you make a copy of your current xorg.conf first for backup [16:40] mang0: wine --version? [16:40] wols: why not use nvidia-xconfig [16:40] too long since I last rewrote xorg.conf and I didn't like it back then either [16:41] gribouille: listen more to ActionParsnip, not me [16:41] mang0: you can probably look at the man page for wine and look at the different switches. [16:41] th0r: thanks [16:41] wols, I've just created a new xorg.conf file with nvidia-settings (that solved the problem with glx) [16:42] wols: could i run one hypervisor on the front end server(KVM) and a different hypervisor on the node server(XEN) [16:42] ActionParsnip, do you know how to add the 1280x1024 screen resolution? [16:42] Dori922: I don't know enough about UEC to answer that [16:42] gribouille: sure [16:42] wols: ah okey :D thanks anyway [16:43] ActionParsnip, how? [16:43] gribouille: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings [16:43] Dori922: but it's very very unlikely that your i7 machine doesn't do VT, that's all I know a little about [16:43] Dori922: e.g. I suggest you look for it harder. which is why I wanted to know what mobo you use for it [16:43] gribouille: set the resolution to something and click "write to X config file" then close the app. [16:43] Hello? [16:43] hello [16:43] gribouille: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the resolution you set [16:44] I can't see the users list [16:44] :3 [16:44] Stupid Gnome XChat [16:44] Or maybe it's suppose to be like that?

[16:45] MrUnagi: it means it tried to connect to the wanyrdude host and that host didn't answer [16:45] But anyways, i'm having trouble with windows skipping on my screen? I have the FGLRX driver working....I'm using a HD5850 [16:45] I'm confused why it is looking at that host [16:45] i changed it, or i thought i did [16:45] MrUnagi: cause someone wrote a mail to it.where did you change it? [16:45] Mark Shuttleworth is doing a Q+A in #ubuntu-classroom - ask questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat [16:46] dpkg-reconfigure [16:46] MrUnagi: there is more to that [16:46] where should i be looking [16:46] ActionParsnip, do I have to choose the screen resolution in a drop down list? [16:46] Anybody know why whenever I drag a window it skips instead of goes smoothly across the screen? [16:46] gribouille: yes, so you can identify the resolution bit so you can change it in the xorg.conf file [16:47] ActionParsnip: what do you mean by 64bit in the guest? [16:47] ultimately i am trying to figure out why telnet localhost 25 is failing [16:47] MrUnagi: /etc/mailnames, your alias file, /etc/hosts, your dns server [16:47] quick question: what is the equivalent of "alt+f4" in ubuntu? [16:47] Dori922: if you get VT enabled, it will allow 64bit guest virtual machines. yes? [16:47] TheCyph3r: to close a window, its the same [16:47] TheCyph3r: alt + f4 [16:48] thanks! [16:48] ActionParsnip, ok. now, all I have to do is change the resolution in xorg.conf? [16:48] owls mail names was right, /etc/hosts does not have my domain in it [16:48] brb [16:49] How do I make windows not "skip" across the screen? They don't glide smoothly like in windows?

[18:00] jnsl_, I think that sdb line is the problem most likely. lemme know if it fixes it [18:00] ohhhhh crap aetas [18:00] i gave wrong fstab [18:01] I have Ubuntu 10.04 w/grub2 on my sda drive...I also have Ubuntu 10.04 w/grub2 on my sdb drive along with mageia 1 w/ grub1...can I delete the ubuntu on the sdb drive and not screw up the grub on sda drive [18:01] aetas no wait its the right one hehe sorry :) ill try reboot now [18:01] lol [18:02] aetas do i comment out LABEL and proc line as well ? [18:02] if you comment out your root mount point, you won't have a system [18:02] and dont pick on proc [18:02] haha ok [18:04] hi, how do i find out whats causing this error? "failed to enumerate usb device on port 2" [18:04] actually its "unable to enumerate...." [18:04] Hey, if I give someone ssh access and I just want them to be able to scp/sftp, can I make their default shell null? [18:05] a-new-user: unplug your usb devices and slowly plug them in until you get that error in dmesg [18:05] so... I'm attempting to follow this walk through here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/18903/how-to-enable-trim but everytime I attempt to run the hdparm command.. I get "reading sector 5805056: FAILED: Input/output error" any ideas? [18:05] a-new-user: when you get it, the last thing you plugged in is probably what's causing that error. [18:06] ActionParsnip, I dont even see anything free in there !!! only 30 days evaluation ... where do you get the free for non-commercial version ? [18:06] RavenHursT: are you prefixing the command with sudo [18:06] RavenHursT: sounds like that sector has a fault [18:06] i don't have any usb devices plugged in, the error's always there [18:06] RavenHursT: ahhh, ActionParsnip is more realistic [18:06] Sterile: Did you grab script version 3.0.6? If so, try 3.0.5 and just overwrite and see. [18:06] kpoman: yup.. [18:06] actually, i have keyboard and mouse. Could they cause it? [18:06] yes [18:07] terry, yes, I did. One second. [18:07] ikonia: if it's a bad sector.. then how is it able to create the temp file there? [18:07] yes i [18:07] RavenHursT, no free version at all now ? [18:07] how [18:07] kpoman: huh? [18:07] kpoman: free what? [18:08] Sterile: There are 4 there, that all have same file name, python3.0.vim Could be that script version 3.0.6 is not working for you and one of the ohters will. [18:08] kpoman: i'd ask in #vmware its more specific to the issue [18:08] how i make shell null [18:08] RavenHursT, vmware workstation or whatever [18:08] Sterile: I jsut compared the first two and they are different. [18:08] kpoman: oooohhh... I'm using Oracle VM Virtual Box running Natty [18:08] RavenHursT, I am too, but need to test some stuff on vmware [18:09] terry, ohoh, I think the first ones are for python 3+ [18:09] kpoman: I'm sooo lost in this conversation.. lol [18:09] terry, but I have like python 2.7 [18:09] kpoman: Not sure what you're getting at [18:09] hiiiiiiiiiii [18:10] RavenHursT, nevermind :p I am just looking for a free as in "not pay nor register nor make me sick" version of vmware === memee is now known as yoritomo [18:10] Rigin: gksudo gedit /etc/passwd [18:10] kpoman: Oh.. sorry man.. can't help ya there.. [18:10] sadasd [18:10] Hello? [18:10] Rigin: change the /bin/bash to /bin/false for the user you want to null the shell of, they will then have zero console access [18:11] So does anyone have any idea how I can get the tests here to work? reading sector 5805056: FAILED: Input/output error [18:11] oops [18:11] http://askubuntu.com/questions/18903/how-to-enable-trim [18:11] <[THC]AcidRain> very odd that i downloaded 2.2gig of 2gig on this torrent [18:11] <[THC]AcidRain> what could it be :) [18:11] [THC]AcidRain: MD5 test it (if possible) [18:12] <[THC]AcidRain> ah. no md5 checksum was included [18:12] Sterile: aaahhhh ok. [18:12] arg [18:12] Hello. What do I add to a script to make it input for a prompt? Like, I'm trying to write a script to scp some files to a remote server, but when I connect, it asks for a password. How do I hardcode it so it will enter the password and hit, "enter?" [18:14] Zzarkc-20, try piping [18:14] WOOT [18:14] Sterile: Did you already have the directory ~/.vim/syntax ? Or did you have to create it? [18:14] Zzarkc-20: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_08_02.html [18:14] not sure if it works [18:14] how do I copy a file in the terminal with a different name? For example say test.py already exists, and I want create a new file that is a copy of test.py and name it test_copy.py. [18:14] I think it worked!!!!! [18:14] but, you could still try [18:14] for example [18:14] echo SomePass123 | yourcommnd [18:14] rns: cp test.py test_copy.py [18:14] aetas i think it worked!!! :D [18:14] terry, I had to create it [18:14] terry, why? [18:14] rns cp test.py test_copy.py [18:14] Parameter: there is the 'read' command in bash :D [18:15] ok [18:15] let me rephrase, aetas it worked! thanks a million bloody fstab how did that one get in there [18:15] Any plugins for LibreOffice that would allow me to create invoices with SEPA-compatible barcodes in Code 128 C [18:15] rns: cp test.py test_copy.py #Will give you two identical files. [18:15] jnsl_, are you using some type of cloud? [18:15] aetas yep =) [18:16] jnsl_, it looks like your cloud connection disappeared and it could no longer mount it [18:16] Flannel, terry thanks that worked perfectly [18:16] i have a jump drive that soon as i put it into a pc it dismounts it i cant even try and format it any ideas? i know its partition table is corrupt [18:16] Sterile: Well, I don't have that dir either. I was just wondering. I DO have /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax [18:16] so..... [18:16] i see, yes im using amazon web services! Now i know how to fix that another time :) [18:17] terry, yeah, I read a bit about it [18:17] Sterile: and in that dir, I have python.vim [18:17] terry, I think vim looks into that dir too [18:17] i have a jump drive that soon as i put it into a pc it dismounts it i cant even try and format it any ideas? i know its partition table is corrupt [18:17] terry, ok now it seems to work for .py files === freak_ is now known as amitesp [18:17] terry, question: how to make it work exactly the same with .sage files? [18:17] jnsl_, if you're going to use those types of things, don't have them as "auto" in your fstab....don't put anything auto if there's a chance its not going to be there on the boot [18:17] terry, same colors etc. [18:18] Sterile: It is possible it looks for ~/.vim/syntax/ for plugins first. Not sure, but I just think that might be the way it works. [18:18] i have a jump drive that soon as i put it into a pc it dismounts it i cant even try and format it any ideas? i know its partition table is corrupt [18:18] ActionParsnip: Parameter Thanks guys! [18:18] Zzarkc-20, you're welcome [18:18] so, what did help? [18:18] Sterile: Try moving /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/python.vim someplace else and put the new one there. [18:19] alazare619, how do you mean it dismounts it? [18:19] Zzarkc-20: Can you use passwordless SSH to the remote server? 1. Create a shared key in your .ssh folder by running 'ssh-keygen -t rsa' and just return through all the prompts. 2. scp the id_rsa.put to the server like this: cat //.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh "cat >> //.ssh/authorized_keys; chmod 600 //.ssh/authorized_keys" Be sure to replace and with the correct info. [18:19] Sterile: In other words, temporarily move /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/python.vim someplace else, copy the new script to /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/ and do rm -rf ~/.vim/syntax [18:20] it acts like it sees it aetas then it just disappears whats the terminal command to show all devices? [18:20] Can I resize my root and home partition while in ubuntu? [18:20] alazare619, connect it and type "fdisk -l" and pastebin what it says [18:20] Sterile: you could add: au BufRead,BufNewFile *.sage set filetype=python to your ~/.vimrc (for your other question) [18:21] I'm having trouble installing texlive-*. Is there another way to get LaTeX installed? === km is now known as Guest16105 [18:23] Sterile: It may also work if you just name the file python.vim AND maybe that is what vim is looking for. (Just guessing here. It probably doent's matter as long as the name starts with python.) [18:23] stercor, what trouble? i think sudo apt-get install latex install it [18:24] I just installed Ubuntu and there's something that really confuses me [18:24] terry, yay it works :) I typed the command in vimrc and now both .py and .sage files work [18:24] Would this be the place to ask? [18:25] Sterile: Great! [18:25] Abhijit: I have logs of all of it. But none of it makes sense. It just says "Error" or "PANIC" with little explanation. [18:25] terry, what does "au" do? [18:25] Hello? [18:25] dont ask to ask, just ask [18:25] stercor, u tried sudo apt-get install latex? [18:25] ugh, never mind [18:25] !details | Raven [18:25] Raven: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:25] oh, ok. [18:26] szal: ping back [18:26] I was wondering if I download a program from firefox [18:26] and it gives a .tar [18:26] Sterile: I dono [18:26] Raven, is this your first ubuntu install? [18:26] slacker_nl: your EOL Upgrade howto could use a little refreshment ;) [18:26] terry, did you just google it? lol [18:26] where do I extract it to so that ubuntu considers it an installed program? [18:26] Sterile: Prolly puts you in edit mode and prints u [18:26] Yes, this is my first ubuntu install [18:26] szal: which part? [18:27] Sterile: No. Was that a joke? [18:27] slacker_nl: specifically including upgrading from Hardy or Karmic to Lucid [18:27] I'm running the newest version, by the way [18:27] terry, no, I mean, how did you find out the command [18:27] Raven: for a pre-compiled tarball like firefox uses, it doesn't really matter where it is. it's statically compiled. you can run it from anywhere, as long as the thing to double click stays in the same spot in its untar'd directory [18:27] terry, is what I'm wondering [18:27] Raven, things in .tar or .tar.gz or .tgz or .bzip2 are usually source packages which have to be built and installed manually (usually scripted) but will never show up as installed in Ubuntu [18:27] Raven: what you CAN do is make a launcher and tell it the path to wherever you stashed it [18:27] Sterile: :help filetype [18:27] aetas: firefox doesn't ship source tarballs, just static compiled ones [18:28] Sterile: it was from me, not terry [18:28] Howdy all. My sound has disappeared! What can I do??? [18:28] szal: mkay.. I don't have much time on my hands and my VM is broken (at least, unable to connect to it..) [18:28] au: command not found [18:28] szal: I will have a look, but no idea when/how [18:28] trism, oh, my bad [18:28] slacker_nl: and perhaps even from Intrepid or Jaunty to Lucid (no idea whether that's supported, but helpers here in the chat keep reiterating that it should at least still be possible to upgrade from Jaunty to Lucid via Karmic, which I somehow doubt) [18:28] trism, you both have similar names [18:28] Raven: there should be a way to make that launcher in the menu, but i use kubuntu so dont knw how to do it in ubuntu [18:28] Well, when I double click the cog icon which appears represent the program, nothing happens [18:28] maco, "usually" [18:28] Sterile: indeed [18:28] I've somewhat lost the thread of the explanation [18:28] Raven: i'm not sure why you need a static firefox though. firefox should be included in your ubuntu install [18:29] Raven there is a ppa which will give firefox5 and will integrate it into you system packages [18:29] jaunty to lucid? [18:29] but not the newest version [18:29] eth0 is set for static, yet it pulled a dhcp address. uhh??? [18:29] Raven: which version of ubuntu? [18:29] 11 [18:29] !info firefox [18:29] slacker_nl: and I think everything older than Hardy can be removed or moved to some other place for historical reasons ;) [18:29] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2 (natty), package size 14799 kB, installed size 29868 kB [18:29] Raven: 5.0 is in 11.04 [18:29] Roasted: how did you define it as static? [18:29] szal: 9.04 to 10.04 directly is not possible [18:29] Oh you mean for python code. ... again , I dono. [18:29] maco: he said download a program FROM firefox, not firefox ;) [18:30] No, mine only came with 4.0 [18:30] guys stop confusing him, he didnt say hes downloading firefox [18:30] szal: I don't agree, it is already called EOLUpgrades ;) [18:30] actually i am [18:30] Raven: you just need to install updates :) [18:30] ok well you said from firefox ;) [18:30] slacker_nl: of course not, but some say that it's still possible to go 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04 [18:30] but that's not really the point [18:30] Raven: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [18:30] Raven: or use update-manager [18:30] that is true, that should be possible [18:30] ActionParsnip, I uninstalled network manager and set it as static in the network interface file. I thought it was weird that my network connection wasnt working, then I realized it was 17.11 when the IP should be static @ 17.2 [18:30] ActionParsnip, with the dhcp range being 17.10 to 17.254 [18:31] please helpe me [18:31] my wow crashes [18:31] szal: ^^ I'll need to have a little go at it, so I need FF3.x for that, otherwise the VMWare console is not working [18:31] hi all......will name my first child after you if you can help me.......have a dell mini 10v which will not go into 1024x600 resolution but instead goes to 1024x768. Probelm is that edid is corrupt i think ....so it does what it can but losed 1024x600 resolution on this netbook [18:31] even after ive added the SET opengl thing to the config file [18:31] slacker_nl: its possible, just no advised or supported [18:31] ActionParsnip, I just restarted the net interfaces and now its 17.2, but it legitimently puled a DHCP address when it was set to static, which shocked me. [18:31] Salam [18:31] ActionParsnip: I know, so not going to advise/document it ;) [18:31] This is incredibly confusing. Is ubuntu really set up so that you can't download an application from the internet without having to resort to terminal workarounds? [18:31] terry, trism, thanks for the help :) [18:31] slacker_nl: point taken [18:32] gentoo can you help me [18:32] that means bottom is cut off on screen.....running ubuntu 11.04. I would edit xorg.conf to add 1024x600 res but it is not there....any solutions? [18:32] blb yа[уq [18:32] Raven: you don't need to get firefox from a random point on the internet. it's in the repositories as version 5. there is an update available for your ubuntu to get it [18:32] my world of warcraft crashes saying it encountered a serious error [18:32] i have the log if you need it [18:32] I was actually trying get the beta, which I think is reasonable [18:32] i added the SET gxApi "opengl" [18:32] and it still wont work [18:32] i see [18:32] мне похуй [18:33] hello? [18:33] so i need to know how to create a custom resolution if there is no xorg.conf in 11.04? [18:33] !ru | gentoo [18:33] gentoo: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:33] if you're dual booting can't you just run wow on windows ;) [18:33] Raven: sometimes it really makes life easier. The terminal is very powerful and great for advising as we can give terminal commands here [18:33] ActionParsnip u there? [18:33] dante123: you make an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [18:33] Raven: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next [18:33] ActionParsnip, and copy the output instead of screenshot it [18:33] Raven: the ubuntu mozilla team maintains a repository for the beta, linked above [18:33] dante123: if you make an xorg.conf it will be obeyed [18:34] ikonia, but I don't know what to put in it......everything else works, mouse, synaptics and I dont want to mess that up? Is there a generic I can use? [18:34] aetas: exactly, very handy [18:34] Raven: somewhere in software center (sorry, i use kubuntu not ubuntu) there should be a way to add that repository [18:35] dante123: you only put in the stuff you want, if your mouse works, don't put any mouse config in there, the auto detect works fine [18:35] like can you point me to a very generic one that will just add the 1024x600 res while leaving everything else as configured? [18:35] dante123: if you drop to root recovery you can run: Xorg -configure to make a base file. [18:35] dante123: you don't want a generic one, that will conflict with the auto detect stuff, just put in the stuff you want [18:35] I deleted a config.inp file! Fortunately I saved the original config.inp as a text file. What commands do I use to create anew config.inp file? [18:35] can someone help me [18:35] can someone help me [18:36] !question [18:36] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:36] maujhsn: what application use a config.inp file ?

[18:37] dualbootah: not everything works well with wine, hence why #winehq knows all the tricks/tips and known issues [18:37] dualbootah: They know more than us about wine issues, its futile to ask in #ubuntu for Wine help. [18:38] there the wine forums also [18:38] because this is on dell mini 10v notebook and that is really the only res choice worth using [18:38] can anyone tell me why receiving message with Pidgin or changing volume doesn't bring up the notifications anymore? [18:39] delac, since? [18:39] Ikonia ProjectM is the application!

[18:45] this is a dell mini 10v......some intel driver....not sure [18:45] Ikonia sudo nano? [18:45] maujhsn: if you want, sure [18:45] <[THC]AcidRain> omg [18:45] OK [18:45] Hi. [18:45] <[THC]AcidRain> relay access denied. you gotta be shittin me. ive already delt with this problem [18:46] xibalba: never used it dude. I would have replied earlier if i did as well [18:46] xibalba: What exactly are you wanting to do? [18:46] can i just log out then back in or do i have to reboot in order to use xorg.conf??? [18:46] delac, do any other notification events happen up there? [18:47] dante123: restart x. sudo service gdm restart is one way [18:47] what is meant by "bonded NICs" [18:47] iLogic, I dont think thats gonna work for .iso files, it would need to be .img [18:47] logged out and then logged back in.....still 1024x768.....cant get 1024x600 anymore ideas? (also how to check edid data) [18:47] Dante: any bugs logged for it? Checked in the ubuntu docs? There is a very long page describing issues with lots of netbooks as well as what works well [18:48] iLogic, apt-get install usb-creator-gtk [18:48] dante123: loggin/out is not the same as restarting x [18:48] anyone deal with this issue when trying to install postgres? Error: could not exec /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/pg_ctl .... invoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql, action "start" failed. [18:48] aetas: changing volume doesnt show the popups. and I havent noticed any others either for a while [18:48] Terry: 2 connections with a different wan ip joined to make on interface with the combination of the speeds [18:49] o [18:49] okay will try shutdown and then start again [18:49] dante123: restart x. sudo service gdm restart is one way [18:49] aetas: unetbooting seems to be working :) [18:49] iLogic, you got it working? [18:49] thanks for the help, aetas, dr_willis [18:49] yep [18:49] dante123: YOu only have to log out and back in again. [18:50] how do i connect the wifi from the cli [18:50] hi guys [18:50] dante123: command is 'sudo service gdm restart' [18:50] iLogic, great, np :) [18:50] Gunz4MiPPle: wilist wlan scanning [18:50] logging out of x may or may not restart the x server [18:50] i want to redirect /admin to http://mysite/admin/admin using .htaccess [18:50] dante123: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:51] Gunz4MiPPle: sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning ; sudo dhclient wlan0 #Where wlan0 is the actual interface name. [18:51] delac, you still have the notify panel up right? the part where the pidgin icon should be and all? [18:51] well, it didn't work.....under system, pref, monitors my choices are 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480. This dell mini should run 1024x600 but no choice there. How to check edid for monitor? [18:51] hell [18:51] Gunz4MiPPle: iwlconfig #With no arguments will show your wireless NIC's name. [18:52] aetas: yes [18:52] Thanks for suggestios so far everyone. I'm thinking there has to be a way to add custom resolution or force 1024x600 [18:53] dante123: What display adapter is it? [18:53] aetas: but are those even related? I'm talking about the notify-osd popups [18:53] in natty how do you change visual effects to minimal.. [18:53] dante123: What driver are you using? [18:53] terry, how do i check lspci? [18:53] dante123: yes [18:53] hello [18:53] our ubuntu server 10.04 (virtualbox guest) freezes on boot, immediately after "Running /scripts/init-bottom ... Done." [18:53] I cannot install vcprompt on Ubuntu [18:53] delac, ok well is the notify-osd daemon running? [18:53] can anybody help? [18:54] i've seen in another paste that the next step in the boot process would be to mount /dev - is this correct? [18:54] alessioalex: you need to ask a question for someone to help [18:54] thanks terry, but its not working [18:54] how do i set the minimum visual effects in natty? [18:54] aetas: not at the moment :) I killed it while trying to restart it. For some reason it never came up again [18:54] intel 945gm/gms/gme [18:54] I followed the instructions from here, but I get "vcprompt command not found" : http://vcprompt.com/ [18:54] terry [18:54] fresh Ubuntu installation 11.04 [18:55] Gnurdux: What is the NIC's name? [18:55] aetas: and I tried to restart it because of the lack of popups [18:55] how to get edid info terry et al [18:55] ciss, I believe so [18:55] dante123: xrandr #What does that tell you? === ttttttttt is now known as Mike__ [18:56] alessioalex: what instructions [18:56] delac, did it die off? [18:56] aetas: then what could possibly prevent /dev from being mounted, without giving any errors? [18:56] how do i set the minimum visual effects in natty? [18:56] curl chmod [18:56] Gunz4MiPPle: What it the NIC name? What does iwconfig tell you? [18:56] and export.. [18:56] aetas: yes, it did die [18:56] terry it says min 320x200, max 4096x4096 and gives the three resolutions i mentioned before plus the refresh rates [18:56] alessioalex: what is the output you get after the curl command [18:56] aetas: and I was kinda expecting it to restart itself, but it didnt [18:57] terry: [18:57] err [18:57] i have my wifes dell mini 10v which i could use to compare with [18:57] Everything's fine, I don't get any error [18:57] wifi@realtek [18:57] Gunz4MiPPle: Yes? [18:57] I made it with sudo [18:57] aetas: and I dont know any command to start it again [18:57] alessioalex: what does "ls -la ~/bin/vcprompt" give you [18:57] it says wifi@realtek [18:57] -rwxr-xr-x 1 alessio alessio 19228 2011-07-22 21:49 /home/alessio/bin/vcprompt [18:58] delac, /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-os [18:58] dante123: Then those are the screen size resolutions you have available to you with the driver you are using now. Which one is it using now? [18:58] alessioalex: please do PATH=$PATH:~/bin [18:58] Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question; I'm trying to access an environmental variable from a .sh file but it turns up blank. [18:58] terry my wife is running 10.04 on hers and it gives more resolutions with same graphics card [18:58] alessioalex: then try vcpompt [18:58] vcprompt [18:58] terry, how to tell what driver? [18:58] Gunz4MiPPle: What is the essid name of the router? [18:58] hi [18:58] LOVEBOMB [18:58] Gunz4MiPPle: please don't [18:58] dante123: xrandr [18:59] dante123: No sorry..... [18:59] hello [18:59] Gunz4MiPPle: this is a support channel, we don't need random offtopic outbursts [18:59] ikonia it seems to work now [18:59] thanks [18:59] alessioalex: ther eyou go [18:59] ikonia: are you reading my conversation [18:59] i have a shared desktop between my dual boot winxp and ubuntu natty [18:59] dante123: [18:59] dante123: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [18:59] terry i have xrandr on screen for this computer and my wifes (which is working in 1024x600) [18:59] Gunz4MiPPle: ha, I've just realised it was you SID - sorry [18:59] problem is, shortcuts on my windows don't work in ubuntu [18:59] np lol [18:59] you mean open that file terry? [18:59] and sym links in ubuntu don't work in win [19:00] anyone have a solution to this? [19:00] tzhuang: shortcuts ? [19:00] like windows shortcuts. they show up as [shortcut_name].lnk in ubuntu [19:00] folder shortcuts? [19:00] tzhuang: windows shortcuts won't work in Ubuntu [19:00] i know that [19:01] Gunz4MiPPle: iwconfig wifi@realtek essid LOVEBOMB [19:01] does anybody else hate unity? [19:01] tzhuang: they are a a different format [19:01] seanzy: this isn't the channel for that sort of thing [19:01] okay terry , i have the log files open on both....what am i looking for? [19:01] seanzy: if you don't like it, don't use it [19:01] ikonia: and symbolic links don't seem to work in windows [19:01] ikonia: the quetion is [19:01] tzhuang: the answer is "no" [19:01] ikonia: is there a problem to replace the both fo them [19:01] lol [19:01] Gunz4MiPPle: And then: dhclient wifi@realtek [19:02] ikonia: *solution [19:02] Hm. I'm looking for getting my UC-Logic tablet working properly in ubuntu, but the forum page I've found is for ubuntu 9.04..... [19:02] ikonia: there's no a format that both will recognize? [19:02] terry what am I looking for in this log file? [19:02] tzhuang: no [19:02] hi, how should desktop entry files be named? application.desktop? [19:02] ikonia: that's unfortunate =( thanks for the help [19:02] hey guys i close the lid so the netbook suspends right? but i see random colors on the screen and my caps lock key goes crazy [19:02] tzhuang: what? a format that windows and that ubuntu recognises? [19:03] Gunz4MiPPle: Of course, you have to preface those commands with sudo [19:03] terry its [19:03] grr [19:03] Nickname:"" [19:03] george_, not necessarily no, only if ACPI is setup for it [19:03] but it says adapter not found [19:03] Hey, have a problem with a shell script, there's an environment variable that I have defined in .profile and .bashrc; env makes it appear in root but not in a shell script. Any ideas? [19:03] terry, it looks to me that it is using the intel driver [19:03] ikonia another thing: every time I install gVim, I don't get any shortcut and I don't get any icon [19:03] Gunz4MiPPle: is WIFI@REALTEK really the NIC name of the wifi device? [19:04] !tablet [19:04] what's that all about? [19:04] SET failed on device WIFI@REALTEK ; No such device. [19:04] Gunz4MiPPle: What does iwconfig say it is? [19:04] aetas: what do u mean?? [19:04] alessioalex: where are you looking for an icon ? [19:04] Applications ... somewhere [19:04] terry Nickname:"" [19:04] alessioalex: it is in there, [19:04] !uc-logic [19:04] I just want to put it at the top (near the Firefox icon) [19:04] hello there... I have the "BOOTMGR is missing" problem... I made a usb boot stick of ubuntu 10.04 32 bit, and booted it from boot menu. however, I get the message that BOOTMGR is missing, and I should press alt ctrl delete for rebbot [19:04] alessioalex: you have to create your own launcher next to the firefox icon [19:04] george_, when you close your netbook the computer sends an ACPI event to the kernel notifying it that it needs to suspend, which the computer can ignore or isnt even setup to receive it [19:05] terry...have you abandoned me???? [19:05] oh and yeah, i used unetbootin (for windows) [19:05] i made a log of my wow error [19:05] http://pastebin.com/mZvDDzCf [19:05] Gunz4MiPPle: iwconfig essid ; dhclient [19:05] dante123: No [19:05] can someone read it over [19:05] dualbootah: you've been give options [19:06] "You can skip this step if your distribution’s package manager provides a sparsehash package that you can install. " [19:06] does apt-get provides a sparsehash? === jay is now known as Guest94629 [19:06] dante123: Let me first ask you this? You have upgraded to 10.10, Right? [19:06] dante123: Have you done: sudo apt-get upgrade Yet? [19:07] dante123: If not, do so now. And then see what you get. [19:07] terry, originally all worked under 10.04.....then after 10.10 (this is my wife's friends netbook) problem happened. I know that edid on this netbook is not being read....the system defaults to 1024x768 ever since then. So I decided to install 11.04 celan fresh install [19:08] aetas: seems the popups came back. thanks! [19:08] terry: durp, i thot you mean Nickname, not the name of the nic [19:08] can anyone help, then? [19:08] dualbootah, pm me [19:08] ROLF [19:08] delac, awesome :) [19:08] but still resolution is 1024x768 terry, I believe there is soemthing wrong with lcd screen sending incorrect or messed up edid info to the system....hence it does not know that this can support 1024x600.. [19:10] dante123: Did you use ubuntu-10.04.1 or ubuntu-10.04.2 ? [19:10] 10.10 and upgrade is not part of the problem really, something wrong with edid info and the system does not realize that this lcd monitor can go into 1024x600....I am trying to force it somethow into 1024x600...becase then all will be well in the universe [19:10] dante123, any chance you have an nvidia card for it? [19:10] dante123: It depends on the video driver. [19:11] i've enabled verbose output in grub. my 10.04 server freezes after the line: "EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode". any ideas? [19:11] hi dudes, one question... does the livecd has an option for load it to ram instead of being a live'cd' ? [19:11] aetas: hey, strange, when i click suspend, the random colors appear again, and the light on my caps lock key starts blinking [19:11] dante123: sudo apt-get upgrade [19:11] terry, this was probably running fine with ubuntu 10.04.1 originally......what the woman did in between me installing 10.04.1 is anyones guess....when she brought it back to me it was 10.10 and rez was messed up....and no, this does not have nvidia graphics....intel [19:11] dante123: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [19:11] .. the "freezing" being more of a "hanging", since keyboard input is still displayed [19:11] thanks anyway [19:12] george__, looks like ACPI is confused as hell [19:12] aetas: is there a way to fix it?? [19:12] george__, what netbook is this? [19:12] ActionParsnip it is intel mobile 845gme [19:12] sorry ActionParsnip intel 945gme [19:12] Gunz4MiPPle: ROLF ? is that in the output of iwconfig ? [19:13] aetas: its an HP Mini 210 1010NR with proprietary driver wl installed [19:13] plz, i want to check a dvd md5sum and i really dont want to install it to hd because it will take me a lot of time... and i just need it for doing a simple task... any hints on how to? i dont need x...just a shell whit noX and whit the cd driver available [19:13] how can you resize the icons in the launcher in unity? [19:13] terry: yes, there is something called Nickname, but you meant the adapters name, which is wlan2 [19:13] seanzy: a program called ccsm will help u out on that === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:14] ActionParsnip how do i get edid info from monitor? [19:14] dante123: you could use the xorg edgers ppa as a very last resort. Its experimental but may fix stuff, may also break stuff but ppa-purge may be able to remove it and reinstall the bad packages [19:14] Welll... just like i tought... downloading and burning ubuntu was a waste of time... time to go back to the old 'n reliable rescuecd... thanks for nothing anyway. [19:14] Gunz4MiPPle: If so: iwconfig wlan2 essid LOVEBOB ; dhclient wlan2 [19:15] dante123: if edid isn't given by default then it doesn't do it [19:15] Gunz4MiPPle: NIC - Network Interface Card (Sorry I should have said what is the network name for your Wireless Netwrok Interface.) [19:15] ActionParsnip and terry, i really think this problem is with edid because even bios now shows up using 1024x768 instead of 1024x600......something physically messed up...not just drivers [19:16] i shoudl have known thats what you meant [19:16] dante123: bios shows screensize resolution? [19:16] Guys I found this page whilst trying to sort my graphics tablet out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen But it's for 9.04. Will it still work in 11.04? [19:16] Dante123: that's all i got. Its one reason i always buy nvidia:-) === ZeroOne_ is now known as Zero-One [19:17] terry, when booting the computer (my wifes with exact same hardware) and her friends (messed up one) you can see from the bios screen by the location of the dell logo that they are in different resolutions.....so this is PRIOR to any OS running [19:17] george__, I can't find anything on google relating to it :( [19:17] Mang0: worth a try. Just be sure you can roll back whatever you do [19:18] Is there a way to access edid information from command line.....? like lspci, or lsusb,,,,some other command? [19:18] ActionParsnip: I've got no idea how to roll back anything on ubuntu :/ [19:18] dante123: Then see what you have on your wife's PC and duplicate it. [19:18] are there terminal commands to undo the last command ActionParsnip ? [19:18] dante123: But did you do apt-get upgrade yet? If not. do so now. Ok? [19:18] terry, wife is running 10.04 and this is running 11.04 so exact duplication is not possible I dont think [19:18] george__, I have some stuff to try if you wanna pm me [19:19] terry, already ran update manager after fresh install of 11.04 [19:19] Question: If I use the "sudo su" command, how can I revert OUT of root in that shell? [19:19] Mang0: if a guide tells you to edit a file, make a backup copy somewhere else. Its not ubuntu specific [19:19] ActionParsnip: gotcha, thanks [19:19] terry, why should I run upgrade if I just did a fresh install and updated everything after that (will do it if you really think it will help) [19:19] TheCyph3r: exit [19:20] Mang0: if its bad you can simply restore the known good file [19:20] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm [19:20] yeah, I see. thankyou [19:20] dante123: Then look at what you have on the wife's and duplicate it on the other one. lsmod will tell you the modules. less /var/log/Xorg.0.log will show you X's log file. [19:20] terry, just ran it and there is nothing to upgrade....already running the latest [19:20] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i get phpbb3 to relay with my email? i was sure this thing was working 2 months ago [19:20] how can i get something like this? : http://84.27.25.180/images/eth0-day.png [19:20] <[THC]AcidRain> but now im getting emails saying relay access denied [19:20] [THC]AcidRain: check the phpbb forums [19:20] May I ask is there a way to disable the unity dock in Ubuntu 11.04 :) [19:21] dante123: You run upgrade to make sure all packages are up to date. [19:21] Dante123: if you run Natty in a live cd, is it ok? [19:21] [THC]AcidRain: your MTA needs to have your domain setup in the smtp relay parameter [19:21] alex--: nagios? [19:21] terry, i compared the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the main difference I see is around edid (wife's computer lists make of monitor etc.) and resolution modes [19:21] what does nagios does? [19:21] !classic |arcademan [19:21] arcademan: 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". [19:21] alex--: http://84.27.25.180/images/eth0-day.png [19:21] i mean [19:21] is it a webpage? [19:21] webapp? [19:21] program? [19:22] alex--: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:22] !info nagios [19:22] dante123: what you are looking for is the video driver. [19:22] Package nagios does not exist in natty [19:22] does it needs a gui? [19:22] alex--: it's overkill for you, it's a full monitoring suite [19:22] Is there another way without changing to gnome classic :) [19:22] why overkill? [19:22] alex--: it is an app you install on a server. It collects snmp data from network nodes and creates those graphs from that data [19:22] ActionParsnip, no, same thing. Runs in 1024x768 no matter what livecd, ubuntu, BIOS [19:22] alex--: because it's a full enterprise monitoring tool that needs to be installed, setup and maintained, and you just want a graph for your network card [19:22] Terry: intel drivers are part of a default install [19:22] well not bios setup, but logo screen before booting [19:23] ikonia: i also want to see where traffic goes to [19:23] ActionParsnip: Ok, good info. [19:23] alex--: that screenshot looks like "MRTG", it needs no GUI and can run in the background [19:23] alex--: nagios won't do that [19:23] Is there a dockable weather App in unity :) may I ask where the extension are placed [19:24] is it nagios or MRGT? [19:24] !info MRGT [19:24] Package MRGT does not exist in natty [19:24] dante123: I've used puppy Linux in the past to make an xorg.conf file then copied it to my installed ubuntu [19:24] terry, the driver is same as my wifes computer.....intel 945 gme.....the problem is that the monitor is not detected properly.....it does not recognize what the monitor can do.....refresh rates,resolutions etc.....becasue I believe there is a hardware problem....what i am trying to do is force it into 1024x600 [19:24] !! [19:25] alex--: that is mrtg [19:25] is mrtg easier? [19:26] ActionParnsip, I have used puppy like that too......aside from the fact that I do not have puppy on usb handy....though....I think solution will come from editing existing xorg.conf to get the resolutiion we need. [19:26] dante123: I do not think you can force it to use 1024x600 Unless the driver software says you can, it's not gonna happen. xrandr - what you see is what you get. Unless you can run a different driver or a diferent kernel that has built in driver that will support it. [19:26] It would be nice if ubuntu one had something set up so that I could use it to communicate(something like ssh or http) with all of my other ubuntu machines wherever I was. [19:27] dante123, edit xorg.conf? [19:28] dante123: xorg.conf will tell it. The screen/video chip just isn't playing well with your version of xorg [19:28] terry, u r probably right, but I have edited xorg.conf before on another system where acer monitor did not give the edid info correctly and by having refresh rate and resolutions in there....was able to get it to display res i wanted [19:29] dante123: was that with a CRT monitor? [19:29] jakemp: you can. I do it e every day. Just use port forwarding. Different port forwarding to each host [19:29] ugh this new frostwire sucks -.- there is a program like frostwire but the old one? [19:30] !gnutella | alexleon [19:30] alexleon: Gnutella clients: GTK-Gnutella (GTK, stand-alone), gifTui, giFToxic (GTK, based on giFT), Apollon (KDE, based on giFT), mldonkey-gui (GTK, based on MLDonkey), KMLDonkey (KDE, based on MLDonkey), !Frostwire (Java, not in the !repositories) - See also !P2P [19:30] ActionParsnip, then how do you explain that bios spash screen display differently on the exact same netbooks......something has happened to this pc itself...where even spash screens appear different (whereas when they were first purchased were identical) [19:30] yeah, ActionParsnip but something a bit more seamless and easier. I can set up a shared directory between all of my machines, but Ubuntu one is so much easier [19:30] i wanna download sigle mp3's [19:31] It just seems like a good next step [19:31] alexleon, telling us the feature you're looking for is probably better [19:31] terry, that was a monitor that was NOT crt but ubuntu detected it as such.......again edid issues [19:31] what's the difference between ubuntu server 32 bit and ubuntu server 64 bit? [19:31] dante123: the bios is its own thing. So will always show the splash. It will even shos it if you installed ubuntu server which has no graphical desktop at a [19:31] All [19:32] alex--: 32bit libraries in one, 64bit libraries in the other. [19:32] nothing else ? [19:32] aetas the old frostwire used to show wich one is mp3 but the new one doesnt it shows only bog torrents i wanna find songs one by one [19:32] alex--: 64 bit will only run on 64 bit cpu. 32bit will run both [19:33] and about ram? [19:33] alex--: More than that, different kernel etc. [19:33] windows had some problem only couldn't take 3 gb ram [19:33] ActionParsnip, how do you explain how a computer that once had Dell Logo on bootup centred in the middle of screen, suddenly has it lowered and cut off? Hardware issue...that happens to correspond with display issues that came up in ubuntu. [19:33] alex--: that may be limited by the model of your processor, maybe not === MoMo__ is now known as MoMo [19:33] intel i7 [19:33] i dont know which one [19:33] hello, i'm working with ubuntu server and i need a qemu-kvm virtual machine to use the eth0 on bridge.. how is this possible? [19:34] alex--: well, then it's not likely limited by that, haha [19:34] jakemp: you could forward to one system, then have that system mount the other systems. Acting as a center [19:34] Im saying that if you ran windows or anything else on this computer.......the screen is going to go into 1024x768 now (for some unknown reason) when it used to go 1024x600 [19:34] why is 64 bit recommend then? [19:34] any modern CPU is 64 bit, except atoms [19:34] anything newere than a pentium [19:34] 4 [19:34] Me CPU is modern! [19:35] And it's 32 bits! :D [19:35] hi! guys! [19:35] dante123: I suppose you could try to create an xorg.conf file while running the LiveCD and then copy it to /etc/X11/ on the HD. Use X -configure See what happens. [19:35] Dante: the bios splash would show even if you had no OS installed at all. It means nothing [19:35] dante123: Does the LiveCD show porper resolution? [19:35] terry, why can't he edit the one he has? [19:35] aetas: He can. [19:35] edbian, what CPU is that? [19:35] jakemp: Intel Celeron D from 2007 [19:36] okay, modern non celeron CPU [19:36] ActionParsnip , you've helped me out before and seemed knowledgable. do you know if it's possible to have 2 sets of bonded NICs? [19:36] Hi, how do I change my workstation or computer name on Ubuntu 11.04? [19:36] terry, so what was the reason for the liveCD one? I haven't been able to keep track [19:36] jakemp: is my core2duo 1 [19:36] what are the cons and tons of me taking 64 bit ubuntu? === bangfoo is now known as bangfoo_ [19:36] because i have a problem with starting and compiling mta server on ubuntu 64 bit [19:36] terry, the livecd goes into 1024x768 on this system.....so basically that is pointless [19:36] because the program itself is 32 bit [19:36] 1.2ghz dual core modern? [19:36] alex--: cons and tons? [19:36] ActionParsnip , if it's n atom [19:36] alex--, 32bit binaries can run fine [19:37] dante123: Ok then create one from your wire's PC. [19:37] xibalba: its a [19:37] what c2d? I thought they were all 64 bit? === bangfoo_ is now known as bangfoo [19:37] An intel [19:37] advantages and disadvantages [19:37] has anyone in t his chan now dont nic-bnding? [19:37] i can't get my mta server running aetas [19:37] nic-bindongi* [19:37] also, edbian pentium D is netburst architecture, so that is splitting hairs [19:37] dante123: Create one on the wife's PC, test it, see if it works over there, then copy it to the other one and try it. [19:37] terry, now that makes sense [19:38] alex--: i suggest you research what 64bit is [19:38] jakemp: It's not a pentium. but who's splitter hairs now? [19:38] alex--, ok well you obviously compiled it fine so what happens when you run it? [19:38] spittling* [19:38] I need to bridge my qemu virtual machine's network, can anyone help me? [19:38] no i'm stuck in compiling [19:38] but actually i dont need to compile [19:38] on my linux desktop i just open the file and it works [19:38] but on my linux server it gets me a access denied [19:38] or segmentation fault [19:38] Jakemp: its in a dell d420 dual core 1.2ghz. 32bit architecture [19:39] hey everyone [19:39] i just installed ubuntu in my brother laptop and @ first boot it showed me msg says something like "due to lack graphic capabilities it unity wont be able to work" and so it switched me to gnome ""no effects .... i installed the graphic card drivers but still i cant run gnome or unity i just have gnome "no effects"! [19:39] alex--: what are you trying to compile ? [19:39] is this the right place for help? [19:39] mta-server [19:39] ActionParsnip, a dell latitude? [19:39] blackhawk: if it's ubuntu help, sure [19:39] cool [19:39] well i installed ubuntu and everything is fine with me till now except one problem,i'm dual booting ubuntu with windows 7,i once logged into windows and it gave me a message to restart then i restarted,everything is fine but on next restart,it didn't give me the screen which make me choose which os do i want to get into and if i don't choose it would go to ubuntu,this page didn't appear and it gave me an error and there was somthing like this written,"Grub [19:39] rescue>" or something like that,i had to reinstall ubuntu and everything came back alive,i think it is a problem between the two booting managers of windows and ubuntu,so is there something to unify both of them so this won't happen again??!! [19:39] jamesbond2: yes [19:39] heh close enough [19:40] alex--, something else is going on then...if its access is denied then it means you dont have executability set or you aren't running with necessary privileges [19:40] ;-) [19:40] !dualboot | blackhawk [19:40] blackhawk: 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 [19:40] blackhawk: that url should explain it to you [19:40] mmm ... can anybosy help me here plz!?

I want to compile it down to native code and put it on a machine that doesn't have gcj or java installed, so I figured I'd compile it statically. But I don't have libgcj.a. Is there any package that contains that file, or do I have to build it myself? [19:49] ikonia: yes [19:49] it is a 32 bit binary [19:49] alex--: the website says "The package is built on and for 32bit systems. [19:49] alex--: it's quite clear [19:49] and? [19:49] how to run it?

[19:50] here I found a tutorial, about kernel modification how it could be fixed, but it seems to complicated for me. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/SL_Driver_on_Ubuntu [19:50] acicula: Cool, thanks. [19:50] yes it is [19:50] but some guy said: compile it yourself [19:50] can you please fix the kernel for this hardware in the next update? [19:50] alex--: so a.) it's not a compile you're trying to do b.) it's a 32bit binary running on a 64bit system [19:50] so i'm trying to [19:50] shj: So kernel driver in use is nvidia :) [19:50] alex--: ok then ask that guy for support [19:50] he's gone [19:50] nobody answering [19:50] Now once I edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and perform the hostname command, should I reboot to implement the changes?

[20:00] shj: Yes that's the correct pastebin [20:01] thanks [20:01] edbian : yes! i will change later! :) i guess! [20:02] hi [20:02] shj: let's try removing the open source driver and reboot ok? sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [20:03] how do i find my flash drive in ubuntu [20:03] edbian : so remove current driver and run that command? [20:04] acicula, we got it working, not sure what he was doing but its ok [20:05] shj: Running the command removes the open source driver nouveau It is generally a good idea to have exactly 1 driver installed at a time. The restart the machine. We're going to try to test out the nvidia-current proprietary driver (which does support your card) [20:06] edbian : ops! i just removed it! [20:06] shj: Which did you remove? [20:06] shj: What command did you run? [20:06] >mfw Americans call a tutti frutti point and shooty a "gun" [20:06] edbian : i used "additional drivers" [20:07] shj: That's fine. sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [20:07] shj: I don't like using that 'additional drivers' gui because it is buggy and a liar :P [20:07] edbian : i runed the command : sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [20:07] shj: good, so we don't have to do that agian. [20:07] shj: restart then [20:08] edbian : ok [20:08] hey guys is 11.04 any good yet, i tried it wen if first came out but unity just made me revert plus i have an acer timeline 4810 so it isn't powerful [20:09] slim_gaza: unity runs great on my netbook. One of it's strong suits is small screens. [20:10] edbian, so i take 11.04 is stable? [20:10] slim_gaza: Not as stable as 10.04 or Debian [20:10] slim_gaza, has one would say, "stable...ish" [20:11] edbian, PhoenixSTF ah! i'll just stick to my good o 10.10 [20:11] edbian : nothing has changed! [20:11] slim_gaza: sure :) [20:11] slim_gaza, thats a bad choice [20:11] shj: alright so nvidia-current does not help (I didn't expect it to) [20:11] shj: We have many more options. Before we switch drivers can you give me the output of dmesg in a pastebin? [20:11] slim_gaza, but if it holds until the 12.04 comes out [20:12] PhoenixSTF, why is it bad? [20:12] shj: Then sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current and sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 and restart again [20:12] slim_gaza, i think 10.10 has only 1 year or 2 of updates qhile the LTS has 3 or 4 [20:12] non LTS version have 18 months, LTS versions have 3 years on the desktop 5 on the server [20:12] slim_gaza: no its not, though it seems not everyone agrees with the choice of windowmanager, but you can just use the classic gnome look if you want [20:13] edbian : sure! [20:13] PhoenixSTF, oh [20:13] as in,its not bad [20:13] shj: awesome [20:13] acicula, okay, i'll give it a spin [20:13] ikonia, thanks for the info ;) [20:13] PhoenixSTF: 18 months for normal, 3 year for LTS, 5 year for Server [20:14] 11.04 its good but if it is a production entreprise enviroment i would stick to a lts [20:14] edbian : here is the link : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650209/ [20:14] oh ikonia posted that already, nvm [20:14] shj: k, not runt he apt-get commands and reboot while I read. [20:14] acicula, all server versions? [20:14] PhoenixSTF: no just LTS [20:14] shj: wait [20:14] shj: there is a whole bunch of stuff about nouveau in here. I thought we purged that? [20:14] acicula, ty :) [20:15] shj: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [20:15] if i want ubuntu 11.04 to use xorg.conf file.......do I put it in etc/X11 or is there a new place it needs to be for 11.04? [20:15] dante123: same old place [20:16] dante123: /etc/X11 :) [20:16] edbian : ok! [20:16] fresh install or upgrade which is better? [20:16] shj: ok, so what was installed and what was removed? [20:16] dante123, ususaly those things dont change on ubuntu/debian [20:16] got my stuff on dropbox anyway [20:16] slim_gaza: id just upgrade [20:17] slim_gaza, IMO fresh... but safe upgrade will do the trick but a lot of trash will be acumulated [20:17] dante123: No, that's the right place. [20:17] acicula, PhoenixSTF thanks [20:17] /etc/X11 [20:18] edbian : nothing removed as nivida was not found! and nivida-137is still in download ... slow connection! [20:18] Is it only me, or are u guys tempted by the new macs and lion? [20:18] slim_gaza: some cruft will remain when you upgrade, but its marginally mostly, i survived 6 consequtive upgrades without any adverse effects. just gotta watch out if you have customized things like nvidia drivers installed by hand [20:18] slim_gaza, im with acicula on this one, safe-upgrade it, if you fell it isnt good just fresh install [20:18] shj: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau This needs to happen. Did it? [20:18] shj: without errors? [20:18] aright guys thanks, upgrading now [20:18] slim_gaza: It's just you and #ubuntu-offtopic [20:19] LOL [20:19] terry, okay i think i made a xorg.conf from my wifes computer and ubuntu 11.04 livecd.....will try same file on the other computer [20:19] haha very funny rww [20:19] edbian : home@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current [20:19] Reading package lists... Done [20:19] Building dependency tree [20:19] Reading state information... Done [20:19] shj: don't do that! [20:19] shj: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:19] The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [20:19] dkms screen-resolution-extra [20:20] rww i am sure you are probably drooling over the apple store's site at this very moment :P [20:20] _12321 [20:20] slim_gaza: take a hint when its offered? [20:21] floodbot1 : sure! sorry for that! [20:21] shj: I don't care about those extra packages right now. We'll clean them all up when we're done. Did you do this: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [20:21] acicula, sure just mocking about [20:22] thanks anyways for the info guys [20:22] slim_gaza: thats what -offtopic is for ;) [20:22] edbian : just a moment its installing nvida-173 now! [20:23] shj: k [20:23] edbian : ok! i ran the command [20:23] is the grub app come already installed in ubuntu? [20:23] guys whats the command that brings up an ncurses dialog that you can implement in a shell script? cant remember the name :/ [20:23] shj: ok, so nvidia-173 is installed. and nouveau is purged? [20:23] it was like "dialog" or something [20:24] shj: restart and if it doesn't work then give me dmesg in a pastebin again [20:24] edbain : it says "not installed so not removed" [20:24] !info dialog | aetas [20:24] aetas: dialog (source: dialog): Displays user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1-20100428-1 (natty), package size 273 kB, installed size 1504 kB [20:24] so yes, dialog :P [20:24] shj: that's what the nouveau purge command said? [20:24] rww, thats not it is it? [20:25] rww: The program 'dialog' is currently not installed. [20:25] lol yeah I guess it is [20:25] aetas: looks like it is to me :| [20:25] alex--: and? [20:25] edbian : it says : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is not installed, so not removed [20:25] is there any other way [20:25] by not installing it? [20:25] hey guys [20:25] alex--, ok alex yeah do read [20:25] has anyone here done dual nic-bonding [20:25] shj: strange... ok restart and give me the output of dmesg again [20:25] ,lastlog alex-- [20:25] like having a bond0 and bond1 interface? [20:25] read? [20:25] eep [20:25] or dialog? [20:25] What is the windows installer? Does it run ubuntu in some sort of VM? Is it better than using VirtualBox? [20:25] anybody? [20:25] edbian : [20:25] alex--, dialog draws a little ncurses GUI but if they're not shipping it default then use read [20:25] shj: restart and give me dmesg and lspci -k and lsmod [20:25] i've been asking for hours here, but too much data flies by [20:25] edbian : ok! [20:25] i just want plain text [20:25] shj: k great [20:25] not a dialog [20:25] alex--, read [20:25] Caelum: no, it runs Ubuntu on the actual hardware with the root partition mounted to a loopback filesystem in C:\wubi [20:25] dante123: See my pm [20:26] what the shit? [20:26] i've also posted to the mailing list, but my email has gone through yet [20:26] rww: oh I see, thank you [20:26] ubuntu just froze.... how can i flter all those useless crap out of my dmesg logs? [20:26] RobinJ, in terminal? [20:26] i need to see what caused the error, not things about my wireless [20:27] Phoenix6780: GUI or terminal, doesnt matter [20:27] terry see my reply [20:27] RobinJ: It puts most recent stuff at the bottom of dmesg. There is a time stamp next to it. The freeze is probably the most recent thing. [20:27] RobinJ, cat "File" | grep "parameter you are searching for" [20:28] RobinJ, example, cat /var/log/secure | grep login [20:28] ed1703: only the timestamps arent readable to human beings xd [20:28] RobinJ, so "dmesg | grep login" [20:28] parameter...what parameter [20:28] RobinJ: They're second from when the computer started. [20:28] is there a more advanced ubuntu channel [20:28] where someone could answer this? [20:28] #ubuntu-server is quiet, no one responds [20:28] xibalba: why do you need a more advanced channel [20:28] xibalba: do you have a specific question? [20:28] RobinJ, parameter is hwat are you lokiin for in the line, if it says Login, Robin, Error or something [20:29] xibalba, you can ask but let em know in advance so you don't get chased out [20:29] ikonia , acicula , yes i do have a specific question [20:29] xibalba: this channel is more than capable of answering simple things like nic bonding [20:29] xibalba: then ask it [20:29] RobinJ, try the example i told you you get the picture [20:29] Phoenix6780: i know how grep works...... but how do i know whats important in the dmesg logs [20:29] ikonia , let me repost my whole Q. I started asking a few hours ago, can you hang on just a moment?. [20:29] yes [20:29] anyone know if grub is preinstalled in ubuntu? [20:30] ikonia , this is my interface config from /etc/network/interface -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/650125/ [20:30] blackhawk: its installed during installation yes [20:30] RobinJ, your computer crashed? try searching for the time it whent down! [20:30] i have also tried using - inplace of _ [20:30] Hello. I just downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 to my dell laptop but my wireless is disabled and I am unable to click on it to enable it. I do not know why this is happening. Help? [20:30] so putting - did the trick, however only bond0 come up [20:30] xibalba: ok [20:30] RobinJ, sorry but i dont Know more hoe to do it. [20:30] and bond0 is showing it's down and in a RoundRobin setup, when I'm trying for fail over [20:30] good,so it over writes the windows boot manager [20:30] would be around 22:27... but the dmesg timestamps arent actually timestamps as human beings would write them down are they [20:30] edbian : nothing has changed! dmesg output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650215/ [20:31] I am streaming a video from my unbuntu over SMB. runs fine. Untill i delete a file from the same volume remotely. Then it stops untill the the disks from my raid have wakened. Sound familar/logical? [20:31] then why did i had problems booting [20:31] justine777w: can you try connecting a cable and let ubuntu update first? [20:31] xibalba: how are you trying to fail it over ? [20:31] the raid is a totally different volume. [20:31] blackhawk: idk, what do you see at boot? [20:32] ikonia , i'm trying to use bond-mode 1, ut it looks like is defaulting to bond mode 0 [20:32] acicula: yes, i updated and everything as well as restarted. it still does not work. [20:32] xibalba: what makes you think that [20:32] i can only do screen captures now because i only have IPMI access [20:32] edbian : and lsmod : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650217/ [20:32] ikonia , how do you propose i uplaod some screen shots? [20:32] xibalba: I don't want screen shots [20:32] xibalba: I want to know why you think it's running in mode 0 [20:32] justine777w: does the Additional driver tool list a driver for the wireless? [20:32] shj: reading... [20:33] acicula it gives me "error" and "grub rescue" [20:33] ikonia , ok. I checked /proc/net/bonding/bond0 [20:33] i cat'd that file. [20:33] xibalba: and it shows mode 0 ? [20:33] he quit [20:33] wow [20:33] just black screen with those [20:33] shj: You're back [20:33] blackhawk: did you install on a usb disk? [20:33] yes [20:33] shj: I am NO CLUE why nouveau is running instead of nvidia. It isn't even installed! Can I see sudo lspci -k please? [20:34] ikonia , i guess not it's saying "bonding Mode: faul-tolerance (active-backup)" [20:34] no,sorry,i did it FROM a usb [20:34] so that is correctly setting bond-mode 1 [20:34] Why is nouveau running on shj's system even though he has purged xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ?? [20:34] xibalba: right, so it's running in the right mode [20:34] acicula: where can I find that? I know I have wireless on this laptop. I had 10.10 before but it crashed so I installed 10.04. Now the wireless will not work. I had to do something before when I had 10.10 but I do not remember what it was, [20:34] ikonia , ok well that sa good start from where i was before [20:34] hi,im trying to recover some hd space on a win partition,ive currently got the un partitioned space/formated,can anyone point me in the right direction of what i need todo or use gparted is proving un realiable? [20:34] but my bond1 interface is not found [20:34] edbian : i had a connection problem >> sure! [20:34] ikonia , i tried ifconfg bond1 [20:34] and it says no device [20:35] shj: what? [20:35] how to prompt a user in ubuntu server [20:35] shj: oh, with you quitting and joining? [20:35] echo, and if he presses y then do thing1 [20:35] xibalba: does ifconfig show eth2 and 3 ? [20:35] and if he presses n then do thing2 [20:35] how [20:35] alex--: that's not very easy to do [20:35] blackhawk: are there multiple partitions on that disk? probably a bios issue preventing grub from seeing its boot files at boot, i had it too, solved it by making a small partition holding /boot at the start of the disk. it still gives errors but will boot (eventually) [20:35] edbian : here is the output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650219/ [20:35] ikonia: any other way? [20:35] because i want to ask the user if he want's to edit [20:36] shj: reading... [20:36] otherwise lets continue the script [20:36] alex--: I just said it's not very easy, I didn't suggest a method [20:36] ikonia , checking [20:36] hmm :P [20:36] alex--: you'd have to write a shell script wrapper [20:36] shj: nouveau is still listed there too!!! [20:36] a what? [20:36] ikonia , yes ifconfig shows eth0-3 [20:36] alex--: a shell script to act as a wrapper [20:36] shj: Hang on... [20:36] what's that? [20:36] justine777w: you had 10.10 working before? how old is this laptop? do you have a brand name/model? [20:36] edbain : ok! sure! :) [20:36] ill wait patiently thanks [20:36] ikonia, I have a total of 2 NIC cards in the server, each card is dual port [20:36] shj: open synaptic and search for the word nouveau === michael is now known as Guest50231 [20:37] Hello whitehats.. Please I have a serious problem... Any CD i insert into my ubuntu (11.04) machine's drive does not boot. I am trying to create a virtualbox. VM installs but when it's time to boot from the CD I get an error saying "FATAL: No bootable media found! System halted". I tried the same CD on another person's PC and it reads correcty. Please help, why can't my drive detect the XP boot CD? [20:37] alex--: a shell script is a set of commands put together to do what you tell it to [20:37] xibalba: ok, good news is that it's seeing the 2 physical nics [20:37] xibalba: are both dual port cars the same model/brand ? [20:37] justine777w: and/or ist installing 10.10 or 11.04 an option? might simply be that the wireless support for your nic was not added to 10.04 yet? [20:37] wh1zz0: this is ubuntu support, not "white hats" [20:37] Sorry [20:37] Please help [20:38] acicula: i am not sure. I guess I could put 10.10 on here since I know the wireless will work [20:38] ikonia, both dual ports are not the same exact NIC card model. They ar eboth intels, I have matched the bond interfaces with the respective NIC sets. So Bond0 is using the same nic on both ports, bond1 should be using the same nic on both ports too === rcmaehl is now known as rcmaehl-senpai [20:38] wh1zz0: if the cd works on other machines, but not this one, it suggests your cd drive has a problem [20:38] edbain : ok! the frameware is no installed!! [20:38] ikonia: can you help me with it? [20:38] The CD drive is good [20:38] alex--: no, it's quite complex [20:38] wh1zz0: how do you know [20:38] edbian : i mean firmware [20:38] :( [20:38] ikonia , they're both Intel Pro/1000, but slightly different models [20:38] xibalba: the reason I was asking to make sure both had support for bonding but all intels are pretty good so that's not a concern [20:38] I used it to watch a movie just before I installed ubuntu 2 days ago [20:38] like sensors haves [20:38] shj: the firmware is not* or now* ? [20:38] wh1zz0: ok - but that doesn't mean it's good now [20:38] "do you want to search for them (yes/no) ?" [20:39] ikonia: ^ [20:39] lm-sensors does the job [20:39] alex--: I know what you mean [20:39] edbian : not! [20:39] edbian : :) [20:39] justine777w: id try that then and/or move on to 11.04 [20:39] can't you get it out of lm-sensors ? [20:39] ikonia: I inserted another CD into the drive and it works [20:39] wh1zz0: when ? [20:39] hello i was wondering if anyone has hp mini 210 because im about to install ubuntu onto it and was wondering what issues i might run into and wondering if its worth it cause windows 7 is going slow [20:39] Today [20:39] wh1zz0,that to me also sounds like drive but you could try booting from the bios? [20:39] shj: Remove all packages with nouveau in the name. Tell me what they all are please [20:39] bonsoir tout le monde [20:39] ikonia , next thoughts? [20:40] is there any Whist Card Game for Ubuntu ? [20:40] can anyone help with my problem> [20:40] ? [20:40] wh1zz0: ok - so you've proved the media is good, you've proved the drive is good, that must mean your bios is not configured correctly [20:40] xibalba: just thinking [20:40] Bios? I'm not trying to format the whole PC.. Just trying to create a win xp Virtual Box [20:40] ikonia , sure thing [20:40] daniel_: the odds of finding soemone with the exact same hw as you arent good, but my guess is it'll work [20:40] where am i supposed to install programs i download online? [20:40] wh1zz0: ahhh, you're trying to boot a virtual box, not your machine [20:40] my screen froze for a whiel this time, anyone thinks he can help me if he takes a look at the dmesg? [20:40] edbian : only : libdrm-nouveau1a [20:40] hi folks [20:40] may be the same cause as the crash [20:40] shj: purge it [20:40] boywonder: best to ask/describe the problem you are having [20:40] ikonia: Yes, exacty [20:40] Night all! [20:40] Hello.. I've got a very strange problem with just about every client I could have for Messnger. I cannot connct at all. I've tried changing my pass. Updating my info and so on. NOTHING. PLEASE help.

[20:41] wh1zz0: you've probably not mapped your physical CD drive to the virtual CD drive of the guest machine [20:41] xibalba: this one is a bit interesting....... [20:41] shj: and sudo modprobe -r nouveau [20:41] ikonia , good i'm glad it's not newbish :) [20:41] zack: there is no standard way to install programs in linux [20:41] dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/650223/ [20:41] ikonia: Please how can I achieve this? [20:41] zack: generally you install them from the software center [20:41] wh1zz0: the topic in #vbox points you at the documentation [20:41] ikonia , i was at the data center for 8 hours pounding my head on the rack with this [20:41] xibalba: you're using the same modes, so if one pair works, the second should [20:41] zack: the problem is packaging [20:41] Okie let me have a look, thanks. === jj_ is now known as JMonty42 [20:42] acicula, i already did, im trying to add space to a partition with which the sa [20:42] ikonia , i heard somethign about a bonding limit and you may have to tune the kernel or some option somewhere [20:42] xibalba: ok, this is a poor suggestions, but it's all I've got [20:42] ednbian : it says : could not apply changes fix broken packages first! [20:42] tensorpudding: for example, im installing http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/bardware/xppaut_latest.tar.gz [20:42] someone had mentioned it in this chan before but i couldn't find any documentation on this [20:42] tensorpudding: where do I need to extract the files to, which directory? [20:42] when i try to install the package "openoffice.org3.3-debian-menus_3.3-9556_all.deb" for openoffice, i got the following error: dpkg: regarding openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9472_all.deb containing openoffice.org-debian-menus: openoffice.org-common conflicts with openoffice.org-debian-menus openoffice.org-debian-menus (version 3.2-9472) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9472_all.deb (--ins [20:42] acicula, i already did, im trying to add space to a partition with which the space comes from unformated space if you like? [20:42] zack: it's almost certainly source code that needs to be compiled [20:42] xibalba: when you "bond" an instance of the kernel module is loaded for bonding, I'm wondering if you have a problem in that something is stopping a second instance of the module for being loaded [20:43] tensorpudding: how would i do that then? .. ive ran this same program on windows before [20:43] xibalba: I'm trying to work out what would possibly cause this [20:43] zack: you'll have to unpack the archive, and read the instructions [20:43] gnoke: you cant mix debian repositories with ubuntu repositories, it breaks the package manager and your system [20:43] Hello, I'm having an issue with ubuntu on a vbox, I have installed guest additions and for a period of time the monitor recognized the proper resolution 1600x900, and then it reverted down to 800x600 and wouldn t change. After multiple reinstalls of guest additions it will give me 1600x1200 which is too large for my screen and everything is cut off. I cannot get it back down to 1600x900 so that I can have the entire screen. Any assistan [20:43] ikonia , in my /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf i have 2 entries for obnding as specific in the ubunutu doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding , i have one for bond0 and one for bond1 [20:43] ikonia , thats man much appreciated [20:43] xibalba: so you have an alias bond1 in your bonding.conf [20:43] tensorpudding: the website says "you could compile it yourself, but, instead, you can get the latest binary and copy xppaut to /usr/local/bin " [20:44] ikonia , correct [20:44] zack: compiling software is a big issue, there is no magic solution that works for everything [20:44] zack: well, is that what you downloaded? [20:44] xibalba: that's what should load the module [20:44] I give up. If I cant connect to my class, I might as well do my work in XP or seven instead. [20:44] tensorpudding: yeah im just curious which directory im supposed to extract to [20:44] shj: Why didn't you tell me you had broken packages? [20:44] shj sudo apt-get install -f [20:44] ikonia , i'm going to message a buddy of mine that manages ubuntu boxes too [20:44] zack: extract it to your desktop or wherever, and copy the binary to /usr/local/bin [20:44] luckily i have IPMI on this thing [20:44] acicula: so, what i have to do? [20:45] gholen: dont be discouraged, if noone anserwed your question it may simply be because noone has a solution [20:45] xibalba: can we do a test [20:45] edbian : i did't know that i just installed ubuntu hours ago!!! [20:45] tensorpudding: which file is the 'binary' .. theres lots of files. [20:45] ikonia , i'm all ears [20:45] i have downloaded that package from the openoffice site [20:45] gholen: try rephrasing the problem you are experiencing and/or be more specific [20:45] shj: apt-get should have been saying there were. It's ok [20:45] xibalba: I'm working from memory so you may have to check some of my options out [20:45] zack: presumably it's executable, and named xppaut [20:45] what software do i use to sort out my partitions? [20:45] that says to download .deb package if u have ubuntu [20:45] gnoke: try using the ubuntu software package manager instead of downloading deb files [20:45] Any idea how to correct my issue? [20:45] zack: in nautilus, it will be shown with a characteristic icon, with gears on it [20:46] xibalba: can you do an "sudo ifconfig bond1 192.168.140.140 up" [20:46] gnoke: also if you installed ubuntu desktop then openoffice should already be installed [20:46] xibalba: it should complain, what does it complain about [20:46] zack: a purple diamond with gears in it [20:46] ikonia , standby [20:46] tensorpudding: im not sure what nautilus is. [20:46] how do i see whether a particular process is running? [20:46] acicula: i can't find openoffice packages in the ubuntu package manager [20:46] zack: sorry [20:46] i have ubuntu 11 [20:46] it's the file manager [20:46] gnoke: I think it has been replaced by libreoffice [20:47] acicula: Well. I cannot, under any circumstances connect with MSN Live, from Pidgon (first try, also first program that wouldt work) ams, empahy, Emesene. or just about anything. I have do do all my instant messgeing from the horribale ebuddy network. [20:47] it's the equivalent of explorer in windows or finder in osx, if you want to think of it like that [20:47] gnoke i think its renamed/replaced with libreoffice [20:47] ikonia , for this i will need to link you to screen shot [20:47] unfortuantely i cannot highlight text in IPMI [20:47] xibalba: just summerise [20:47] ok, so it's only openoffice renamed? [20:47] xibalba: don't need exact message, just give me an overview [20:47] Hello, I'm having an issue with ubuntu on a vbox, I have installed guest additions and for a period of time the monitor recognized the proper resolution 1600x900, and then it reverted down to 800x600 and wouldn t change.

[20:48] boywonder: complaing doesn't help, just wait [20:48] boywonder: did you ask a question [20:48] gnoke: i think its a fork, a variation of openoffice [20:48] boywonder: or pay for a support agreement from canonical.com [20:48] acicula: ok, thanks [20:48] boywonder: oh, [20:48] ikonia , ok summary is it loads CAP_SYS_MODULE, which is saying its deprecated, and wants to use CAP_NET_ADMIN instead, then goes on to say no such device. In case you want a screenshot , it's here http://sandbox.vincomm.net/~reza/bond1%20error.jpg [20:48] about partitions [20:48] how many in here use Ubuntu 11.04? [20:48] xibalba: so no such device, rats [20:48] froq: why ? [20:48] boywonder: all sorts of disk partitioning can be done using GNOME Parted [20:49] boywonder: search for it in the software center [20:49] ikonia, b/c I am considering upgrading to it and want to know how many use it at the moment? I am currently using 10.10 [20:49] search for what [20:49] ? [20:49] boywonder: gnome partition editor [20:49] edbian : i went to synaptic and looked nouveau .... there are too many packages will be affected! [20:49] boywonder: or gparted, as it is often called [20:49] shj: sudo apt-get install -f first to fix your broken packages [20:49] boywonder: then search for it in applications [20:49] gholen: are you sure its not a network problem? afaik msn works fine under pidgin or empathy. do you get any errors when you try to connect? === RobinJ is now known as zz_RobinJ [20:50] froq: it's the current stable version, the number of people using it should have no relevance to your upgrade [20:50] boywonder: what is it you want to do with your partitions [20:50] xibalba: that is very frustrating [20:50] tensorpudding, i cant get gparted to do what i want do i have to boot from it? [20:50] ikonia, okay. [20:50] Hi all, in practice, is there any difference between dual-booting Windows&Ubuntu and using a virtual windows emmulator of some kind? [20:50] ikonia , you're telling me. i'm unfamiliar with this error message. [20:50] boywonder: what is it you want to do [20:50] I mean in terms of being able to use softwares. [20:50] boywonder: you can't edit a partition which is in use [20:51] tensorpudding, i have some deleted space i want to reclaim onto my ubutu partition [20:51] froq: this is not a polling station [20:51] Z00la, an emulator cannot run graphical programs with the same speed as an installed OS, but it's sometimes faster to use. [20:51] edbian : i did ! ..... i get : Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) :( [20:51] xibalba: the error message isn't a problem, I just don't see why it would give it when bond0 is fine [20:51] ikonia , was the screenshot helpful [20:51] acicula: Nope, just "connection timed out". Tested it with standalone 3g, wireless, and wire. 3 diffrent networks as wireless and wired [20:51] Z00la: virtualized you do not get gpu acceleration [20:51] boywonder: a solution would be to use the ubuntu cd you used to install from [20:51] xibalba: not massivly as you gave me good information [20:51] boywonder: it has gparted on it [20:51] shj: close synaptic and run the command agian. You can only have 1 package manager running at once [20:51] xibalba: can we do another test ? [20:51] boywonder: you can boot from the ubuntu cd into a "live" environment [20:52] ikonia , are you going to be around for a while ? [20:52] debian : ok! :) silly! [20:52] ikonia , i have to go into a meeting! Argh!!! [20:52] xibalba: don't think I'm going anywhere [20:52] acicula, I realize that since there is no election, how can it be a polling station? [20:52] xibalba: ping me when you come back, lets see if we can fix this [20:52] tensorpudding, but will gparted definatly move it [20:52] ikonia , thanks man. I will gladly ship you a case of beer for this [20:52] xibalba: happy to help [20:52] boywonder: gparted can resize partitions, yeah [20:52] gholen: can you connect when you reboot to windows? [20:53] acicula: Yep. [20:53] When i install a program where are it's source code saved? [20:53] dell: it's sourcecode isn't [20:53] tensorpudding, thanks for helping, i think i might have a bootable gparted but if it dont work?? [20:53] How can i use my rams to help the performances of my system? [20:53] dell: it's binary you download [20:53] dell its not, you can get the source code by typing apt-get source [20:53] joki: the linux kernel will manage your ram to give you the best performance [20:53] debian : i get the same message .... fix broken packages first! [20:53] ohh [20:53] In fact, as it seems,I can connect, but I have problems logging in, it takes a while with pidgin, but trillian, msn and so on WORKS. [20:53] boywonder: gparted should be able to do anything which you need to do [20:54] Hello, I'm having an issue with ubuntu on a vbox, I have installed guest additions and for a period of time the monitor recognized the proper resolution 1600x900, and then it reverted down to 800x600 and wouldn t change. After multiple reinstalls of guest additions it will give me 1600x1200 which is too large for my screen and everything is cut off. I cannot get it back down to 1600x900 so that I can have the entire screen. Any assistan [20:54] no rush anyone just a reminder :P [20:54] gholen: so it works but it just takes some time to login? [20:54] ikonia: right now is only using 11% of it. Can't i do anything to use more of it, and make it efficient ? [20:54] acicula: Do you see an "out of disk" error? [20:54] joki: why do you think it's only using %11 ? [20:55] oh hell may not need it now [20:55] i just messed it u [20:55] p [20:55] acicula: ONLY with pidgin, not trillian in windows, MSN LIVE does what its told to, quite fast even [20:55] shj: You're butchering my name and I'm missing things you're saying :P [20:55] Jordan_U: no i dont [20:55] shj: close synaptic. run sudo apt-get -f install [20:55] tensorpudding, thank you [20:55] debian : i did that! [20:55] Ikonia: because that's what conky, and system monitor is telling me, [20:56] gholen: well no surprise there, its their own closed protocol, does pidgin under ubuntu work, if slow at logging in? [20:56] !bootinfo | acicula [20:56] acicula: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [20:56] shj: My name is not debian [20:56] well to hell with it im just going to reinstall it :P [20:56] joki: that means it only needs %11 as "active" at thie moment, you'll find more will be use for things such as disk cache, and when it needs it will swap it to active [20:56] Jordan_U: i think you have me confused with someone else [20:56] s3r3n1t7 , acicula Thanks. [20:56] edbian : :) sorry [20:56] acicula: Indeed, sorry. [20:56] acicula: Nope, nither does empahy, amsn, emesene or something else. [20:56] blackhawk: Do you see an "out of disk" error? [20:57] ikonia: so' in another words i can't use any ram space to make my experience smoother? [20:57] shj: sudo apt-get -f install [20:57] shj: What is it saying? [20:57] joki: is your machine behaving slow ? [20:57] edbian : i get this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650232/ [20:58] gholen: well empathy or pidgin support msn fine, got any other customizations done on your ubuntu like firewall settings etc? [20:58] acicula: None what so ever. [20:59] acicula: vanilla install so to speak [20:59] If the package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is uninstalled why is nouveau still being used? [20:59] how can I check if Ubuntu recognize my wireless card? [20:59] ikonia: a bit slow, yes. [20:59] joki: how much ram do you have ? [20:59] shj: I'm asking the channel for help. Open synaptic and remove all the nouveau packages again. [20:59] i did a top command... saw that skype is peggin' out one of my CPUs... I tried to do a kill but it will not kill [20:59] gholen: then idk what else to try, double check your login credentials and let it try to connect for awhile? [20:59] any ideas how to kill it [20:59] designbybeck: it maybe zombied, a reboot will clear it [20:59] edbian : it refuses .... it says fix broken packages first! [21:00] designbybeck: kill -9 [21:00] Ah... thanks ikonia, I was hoping to not hae to reboot right now [21:00] shj: what? [21:00] i tried that in top edbian [21:00] acicula: Done that. Nothing helps. Thats why I'm asking here :) [21:00] with the process id [21:00] shj: This is very strange. apt-get -f says there are no broken packages. nouveau cannot be removed [21:00] I have no idea what is happening [21:00] designbybeck: then restart [21:00] edbian : strange !!! but that's what synaptic says! [21:00] shj: Yeah. I don't know. I am confused [21:00] debian : i'll try again! [21:01] shj: my name is not Debian [21:01] ikonia: about 8gb ddr2 on a laptop [21:01] joki: ok - so is it visually slow, or slow at doing things [21:01] Why would synaptic say there are broken packages when apt-get says there are not? [21:01] edbian : sorry [21:02] shj: it's fine [21:02] ikonia: visually [21:02] joki: so the most realistic option is your video card and xorgs compatability [21:02] joki: what video card do you have ? === yofel_ is now known as yofel === s0ultekkie is now known as soultekkie [21:03] ikonia: psh, is garbage some intel integrated.... [21:03] joki: ok, the most obvious thing to me is that it's not configured to use it properly, or the card is not powered enough [21:03] joki: your issue is not ram related [21:03] edbian : the only package that have nouveau on it is : libdrm-nouveau1a >>>> and i get that broken package message when i try to remove it [21:03] ikonia: ik is most likely that, but i was asking if there was any way of putting my ram to use. It's always 10-20 [21:04] shj: I know. I do not know how to fix it. [21:04] joki: it's already in use, you'll find that ram that's not "needed" is used as disk cache and other things, [21:04] joki: then when it's needed it's returned to the active pool [21:04] shj, what does it say it you run "sudo apt-get remove libdrm-nouveau1a" [21:04] edbian : anyway! thank you very much for your effort! .... appreciated! [21:05] joki: think of it as having 10 legs to pedal a bike with 2 pedals, you can only use 2 legs, no matter how many you've got [21:05] shj: sure, good luck! [21:06] glebihan : broken packages [21:06] shj, what is the exact message ? [21:06] How to 'ls multitheftauto_linux* | xargs rm' but do this only for the tar.gz file? [21:06] not for the folder? [21:06] if i play a music cd, my sound card plays the first song ok, "most of the time [21:06] ikonia: lol, you're right.. I just seen it somewhere [21:07] joki: I know where you are going, but trust me, the linux kernel knows how to deal with it's memory best [21:07] How to 'ls multitheftauto_linux* | xargs rm' but do this only for the tar.gz file? not for the folder? [21:07] alex--: you need to untar it [21:07] yes [21:07] but then i have 1 folder with multitheft [21:07] glebihan : here is the message : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650237/ [21:07] alex--: correct [21:07] and 1 .tar.gz file with multithefta [21:07] how to remove the .tar.gz? [21:07] i have ubuntu 10.04.2 lucid on this machine, been trying for months to get perfect sound, nothing seems to work, except live cd, then sound always sounds good and crisp [21:07] blackhawk: Do you see an "out of disk" error? [21:08] if i do ls multitheftauto_linux* | xargs rm it will remove the folder [21:08] i want it to remove the file [21:08] tensorpudding, i just thought of somthing, i have this machine dual booted with xp, can i just delete the xp partition or will that cause problems? [21:08] alex--: rm $filename.tar [21:08] no ls? [21:08] im getting 'fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory' after typing 'make' .. any idea how to fix this? [21:08] boywonder: yes, you can delete it [21:08] shj: update the system first. sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get safe-upgrade [21:08] alex--: you do know multitheftauto is not going to work on your system don't you ? [21:08] it's almost working [21:08] thanks to aetas [21:08] Zack you need to install the compiletime dependencies [21:08] edbian : ok! [21:08] but now about this [21:09] shj: That will probably help. It's not saying there are broken packages. It's saying that what you requested will create broken packages. I was confused about this before. [21:09] tens and the boot list ting will just drop it? thanks in advance [21:09] so not just the library but also the -dev version of the library [21:09] rm $filename.tar [21:09] I don't think it will work properly though when I worked through the dependencies earlier [21:09] whats lvm mean when i am selecting where to install and do i want it [21:09] rm: cannot remove `.tar': No such file or directory [21:09] acicula where do I get that? [21:09] alex--: what is the name of the tar file [21:09] i dont know [21:09] if i killall pulseaudio, it will restart, then i can play music, or watch movies, but if i try to watch any other movie, or listen to any other music after the initial reboot, i get train wreck, or garbled sound [21:09] the script should get it with ls multitheft* [21:09] tensorpudding, and the boot list thing will just drop it? thanks in advance excuse typo? [21:09] alex--: oh come on, yes you do, what is the name of the tar file that you downloaded that contains mta [21:09] no [21:09] i'm creating a script [21:09] to do this automaticly [21:09] name changes every time [21:10] boywonder: i think so [21:10] alex--: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:10] alex--: no - you're not [21:10] boywonder: it won't interfere with booting other operating systems [21:10] will this work? ls multitheftauto_linux*.tar.gz | xargs rm [21:10] tensorpudding, cool stuff [21:10] i've searched forums, and tried many suggestions, should i just get a better sound card than the integrated intel-hda that it came with [21:10] alex--: the file name does not change [21:10] it does [21:10] mtasa-1.0.x-resources-r734.zip [21:10] alex--: no, it doesn't I've read the revision history [21:10] zack read the INSTALL file or google for the package that header file belongs to and install the development version via the software center or apt-get. the convention is that libabc has a development package called libabc-dev [21:10] will change in mtasa-1.0.x-resources-r735.zip or mtasa-1.0.x-resources-r736.zip [21:11] alex--: don't script compiling something, [21:11] alex--: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_i_in_.24.28ls_.2A.mp3.29 [21:11] i'm not scripting to compile [21:12] just to download the files [21:12] and put it in the right folder [21:12] edbain : another error message :( http://paste.ubuntu.com/650239/ [21:12] alex--: finish working it through with aetas this isn't an ubuntu issue and we are getting to the point of spoon feeding you [21:13] i'm stuck at read now [21:13] i used read VARNAME [21:13] alex--: work it through with aetas he was helping you earlier [21:13] alex--: Do you plan on distributing this script ? [21:13] he's gone [21:13] alex--: this isn't an ubuntu issue, so it's offtopic for this channel [21:13] Jordan_U: no [21:13] maybe [21:13] actually [21:13] why? [21:13] alex--: we cut you a lot of slack earlier, but this is now getting to the point where we are having to spoon feed you, so I suggest you take it to a channel such as #bash for scripting [21:14] ok [21:14] alex--: be aware though, #bash are quite tought on you doing your own research [21:14] sorry for disturbing you [21:14] not a problem [21:15] alex--: Because to be perfectly blunt, I don't think you're ready to be writing scripts that might break people's systems if things go wrong. What you are trying to do with rm is very prone to error and you might accidentily delete much more than you expected to. [21:15] maybe :P [21:17] just installed natty. Getting a black screen with a cross mouse pointer [21:18] good evening! [21:20] Is there a desktop neutral tool that allows the configuration of synaptics touch pads? [21:20] how do i debug a boot freeze in the /sbin/init phase? [21:21] just installed natty. Getting a black screen with a cross mouse pointer [21:21] !upstart | ciss [21:21] ciss: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:21] Jef91: synclient? [21:23] what package name is that th0r? [21:24] !find synclient | Jef91 [21:24] Jef91: File synclient found in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [21:24] hey all [21:25] ThinkT510 that is the drivers - not a desktop neutral GUI to configure them [21:27] could someone recommend some simple/intuitive software for creating posters and things of that nature...not something bloated and ram hogging and 10,000 features...just something that does what it does [21:27] Jef91: you first said desktop neutral tool, which is why th0r pointed to synclient that is part of the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package [21:28] I know that's a bit of a loaded question [21:28] ahh [21:28] but maybe someone has a few ideas [21:28] ThinkT510: thanks [21:28] ciss: no worries :) [21:29] hi guys [21:29] townes, Inkscape, GIMP => have you actually researched this yet? [21:29] townes: you could try libreoffice draw [21:30] anybody can help me? I am on a live cd and need to acces to my user folder data on the hard disk, only need copy some files until I fix some GUI problems [21:31] ok, i added --verbose and can see now that the system hangs at: "init: plymouth post-start process (222)". any advice? [21:31] ThinkT510, When you're doing large format graphics, you have to have extremely high DPI, mate..."Draw" does not fit that bill. I have to put out posters (well, graphics for banners and rollups and such) and that just don't work. However Inkscape and GIMP do the trick extremely well - especially in comparison to MS based crap graphics programs. [21:32] weird - why is plymouth active on a server install? [21:32] YankDownUnder, a little bit, I was just curious if people had other suggestions [21:32] hi guys! .... how can i force nvida's card driver to work!!! ... it says in (additional dirvers) "this driver is activated but not currently in use" [21:32] ciss, Remove the plymouth packages on the server. [21:32] YankDownUnder, havent looked at inkscape... scribus looked pretty complicated to me [21:32] inkscape similiar? [21:33] YankDownUnder: you can tell i don't have much experience in that area so i said the first thing that came to mind, your suggestions are much better though [21:33] ThinkT510, that sounds like it might be a good way to go, office stuff is usually straight forwardf [21:33] any body available_ [21:33] ? [21:33] townes, If you're wanting "so simple that it does it itself", well, you have to remember that regardless the situation, there IS a learning curve. If you're not willing the learn, the curve is quite steep. [21:34] YankDownUnder, oh yeah absolutely, I just..... scribus is beyond me [21:34] gimp works, I just wanted other ideas [21:34] werever, if you need help with something ask [21:34] townes, Scribus IS a bit complex, however, if you have an objective, don't let "a new tool" that is different in dialogues - throw you for a loop. [21:34] darn net drops [21:35] synclient is saying that it doesn't appear the synaptics driver is loaded [21:35] hi, is there a simple calendar gui for linux that prints on the console the date when it's picked? [21:35] and I don't see it in lsmod - is there somewhere else it would be? [21:35] YankDownUnder, thanks, I really needed that encouragement... sometimes this stuff is so intimidating [21:35] thanks blade, only need some help to remember how to login into my hard disk ubuntu files until I am in a live cd [21:35] townes, For that matter, anyone that doesn't know how to use Photoshop would think it's an alien - and find it hard to use. However, that being said, if you understand the objective and the tools necessary, dialogues really don't matter. [21:35] you're right [21:35] werever, from what os [21:36] townes, Cheers [21:36] cheers mate [21:36] tensorpudding, hi im back, im booted into persistant ubuntu but its not letting me move the partition? [21:36] I am sure there is some help in ubuntu forums or google, but I am not lucky today searching, and I have a not enought time toresearch [21:36] I am using ubuntu 11.04 in my hard disk, wich is broken, now I am in a live cd ubuntu 11.04, and I need to login and copy some files [21:36] YankDownUnder: not an option. there's a whole forest of dependencies [21:37] why can i not copy stuff to usr/bin, i get permission denied? [21:37] werever, what os are you using [21:37] 11.04 [21:37] looks like plymouth is tightly integrated [21:37] werever, you should be able to mount the drive they are on and see them [21:37] yep [21:37] ciss, So the server doesn't get past that - ergo, it ain't booting into the system...ya? [21:37] I mounted [21:38] bur files are under my user folder, and there are private [21:38] any ideas? )P [21:38] chrisyboy2: you said resize before, not move [21:38] werever, they are encrypted then right [21:38] yes [21:38] that sounds like it's going to be a bit over my head then sorry [21:38] chrisyboy2: if you want you can expand partitions, and contract them, but you can't pick them up and move them to a different part of the disk [21:39] tensorpudding, my original post said move, do i have a problem? [21:39] werever, i would think you would have to open the folder with terminal but i'm not sure [21:39] blade, yes, data is encripted, file explorer say , I have no permission [21:39] hello, can anyone assist in installing flash for firefox in edubuntu [21:39] tensorpudding, seems that it will only let me move right to left? [21:40] hey everyone: does anybody know if there's an ubuntu build of GADMIN-HTTPD that works in natty? [21:40] zack: you can only write in your home directory and the /tmp directory as a normal user [21:40] http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [21:40] is the website I am on but do not know which version to choose [21:40] werever, with terminal you should be able to open them but i am unsure how you would do it [21:40] kids, In the package manager, you can search for flash and install flash-player for Firefox. [21:41] msg NickServ identify xbox360 [21:41] YankDownUnder: we had a blackout, since then the server (10.04, virtualbox guest) doesn't boot up anymore. it idles at the named line without throwing any errors. keyboard input gets displayed, but that's about all [21:41] "you could compile it yourself, but, instead, you can get the latest binary and copy xppaut to /usr/local/bin " .. why would it say to just copy to usr/local/bin if i cant do that [21:41] Hello, everyone! [21:41] chrisyboy2: if you have something like [21:41] TrentH: best change your password now [21:41] !identify | TrentH [21:41] TrentH: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password » in the server tab as soon as possible. [21:41] heheheheheh [21:41] blade, what do you think is faster? fix my ubuntu boot problem or acces to my private folder? , my problem is ubuntu 11.04 says #mountall: disconnected plymouth [21:41] It's alright acid [21:41] !find gadmin | babble [21:41] babble: Found: gadmin-bind, gadmin-bind-dbg, gadmin-dhcpd, gadmin-dhcpd-dbg, gadmin-openvpn-client, gadmin-openvpn-client-dbg, gadmin-openvpn-server, gadmin-openvpn-server-dbg, gadmin-proftpd, gadmin-proftpd-dbg (and 11 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gadmin&searchon=names&suite=natty§ion=all [21:41] chrisyboy2: a partition A, then empty space, then partition B, then more space [21:42] zack: you can copy as root [21:42] I'm having an issue manually installing the ATI drivers, It error's out on me when it shows the hardware I have. [21:42] chrisyboy2: you can expand A to the right or B to left [21:42] tensorpudding, thats what i have? [21:42] chrisyboy2: but you can't swamp A and B's places [21:42] or with root privelidges rather, but you can execute it just fine in your home directory [21:42] ThinkT510, yeah, I saw the rest of the Gadmin packages in the repo, but I can't find one for GADMIN-HTTPD [21:42] chrisyboy2: this is entirely a contrived example [21:42] acicula: how do i do that then [21:42] chrisyboy2: how do i know what your partition layout looks like? [21:42] werever, i am unsure that would be a bit over my head, again i would think you could open the folder using terminal [21:42] ciss, You should be able to "attach" a 10.04 server CD to that VM, boot to the CD, and attempt to repair the build - it would appear (from what I've seen in the past in my clients situations) that the VM is corrupted - so start from the base filesystems on the VM and then work your way out from there...make sense? [21:43] hi [21:43] and the sources posted at http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/ are for i386 [21:43] @ mcdonalds [21:43] woops [21:43] wrong channel [21:43] zack: make sure the file is executable and then in the same directory type ./ and then the filename of your program [21:43] I have a few folders that were accidentally created as root, and they contain files, which I need to delete. What's the simplest/fastest way? [21:43] acicula, can you help me install 11.6 ATI driver? [21:43] (I'm running AMD64) [21:43] babble: doesn't seem to exist [21:43] I need to delete the actual folders too, not only the files [21:43] blade, thats I am trying, but Its taking more time than I expected [21:43] TrentH: you can install ati drivers via the additional drivers tool [21:43] acicula: its just a folder that im trying to copy over that has a bunch of files [21:44] Hyperling, Have you thought of using "sudo"? [21:44] ThinkT510, there's an x86 source package for GADMIN-HTTPD here: http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=45&Itemid=36 [21:44] ThinkT510, but the posted tarball is for 32bit/i386 [21:44] werever, i do not know enough about terminal to know the command to open it but i am sure it would be a sudo command [21:44] YankDownUnder: When I use the sudo folder remove command it tells me I can't while there are files inside [21:44] tensorpudding, my partition layout is as, devsda1,devsda3,devsda5(files system),devsda6swap : i want to move devsda3 to devsda5? [21:44] YankDownUnder: Is there a command to delete folders AND files? [21:44] zack: i understand, but you can just execute the files with the directory in your home directory as well [21:45] YankDownUnder: absolutely. i'll give it a try, thanks [21:45] Hyperling, "sudo rm -rf foldername" [21:45] ubuntu different wallpapers on workspaces metacity [21:45] werever, from the sounds of it YankDownUnder know a bit about terminal [21:45] acicula, but I don't want to use FGLRX. It laggs the special things [21:45] @yank, sorry but where do I find the package manager? [21:45] YankDownUnder: I'll try it, thank you [21:45] TrentH: then you dont need to do anything, ubuntu should load the opensource ati drivers for you [21:46] acicula, the special things I mean the special effects for the graphics they lagg [21:46] acicula, but the newest ati drivers fixed the issue with it lagging on special effects [21:46] ThinkT510, but thank you very much for looking for me ;) [21:46] YankDownUnder: Thanks, it worked :D [21:46] acicula, can you tell me how to keep the installer from closing whenever it errors? Or tell me how to find out why it error'd? [21:46] tensorpudding, is there noway i can do this? [21:46] blade, YankDownUnder, with this command am I able to open my private user folder from live cd? [21:46] babble: sorry i couldn't help more [21:47] TrentH: how do you know the newer drivers will fix your graphics issue? [21:47] chrisyboy2: there are ways, possibly, but they're all complex and involve backing up your files elsewhere, deleting partitions and recreating them, and moving files back onto them [21:47] werever, Eh? If the "private user folder" is encrypted? [21:47] acicula, alot of people said online that the "newer" driver addresses the lagging issue with compizz. [21:48] yankdownunder, yes is encrypted, I found this on google, do you think I am on the correct way? [21:48] yankdownunder, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Live%20CD%20method%20of%20opening%20a%20encrypted%20home%20directory [21:48] TrentH: that sounds like nonsense [21:49] ikonia: my script is almost finished =D [21:49] tensorpudding, this sucks surely i should just be able to expand over ? [21:49] @ Yank, found the package manager, thank you very much. [21:49] alex--: I've been following you in #bash [21:49] I'm trying to find libxfree86-devel in the synaptic package manager, any reason why its not showing up? [21:49] werever, Give the "short advanced way" a go - it's less, um, cluttered and more straightforwrad. [21:50] *forward* [21:50] kids, Coolbeans. Cheers [21:50] yankdownunder, hehehe, do you know this #short advanced way#? [21:51] chrisyboy2: please state exactly what you want to do [21:51] !find xfree86 | zack [21:51] zack: Found: t1-xfree86-nonfree, ttf-xfree86-nonfree, ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [21:51] acicula, can you tell me how to see the error code the installer gives me? [21:51] werever, Scroll down to below the initial page tag and you'll see the "advanced short way" [21:51] i just need xlib.h :/ [21:51] yankdownunder, nice, I will try it, thanks! [21:51] TrentH: i dont understand [21:52] tensorpudding, as of the table i have 10 gigs of space(sda3)deleted formated whatever, i want to put this into sda5 and kill sda3 [21:52] with the ati restricted drivers can i use 2 video cards.. one monitor on each [21:53] tensorpudding, so that sda5 is 10 gigs bigger [21:53] does anyone know how well supported ubuntu is on macbook pro? [21:53] !mac [21:53] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [21:53] acicula, how do I get the terminal [21:53] chrisyboy2: then resize sda3 and then sda5 [21:54] chrisyboy2: and there is an sda4 in the middle? === fairuz1 is now known as fairuz_ [21:54] TrentH: the program is called terminal [21:54] tensorpudding, no sda4 [21:54] wher is the extra space? [21:54] between 3 and 5? [21:55] TrentH: what kind of graphic issues have you been experiencing? [21:55] chrisyboy2: ah, that is a bit tricky, one is a primary partition the other is logical, you would have to shrink the logical then the extended and then grow the primary [21:56] how can i configure ATI CCC for 2 video cards [21:56] TrentH: please keep your questions to #ubuntu [21:56] chrisyboy2: sorry wrong way round, you want the extra space going to sda5 [21:57] acicula, alright how do I remove fglrx? I ram ati installer through terminal...and I go to install it and it says I still have FGLRX installed? [21:57] acicula, I tried apt-get purge fglrx* and it says "the following packages will be removed, FGLRX*" but everytime I redo the command it still says it's going to be removed? [21:58] TrentH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI , especially the bit about making a deb from the installer is relevant as it makes it easier later if you want to revert [22:00] aciula i am unsure how/if i move forward, can i run dual video cards with the restricted drivers from ATI [22:01] i attempted an apt-get update inside a rescue system with my root partition mounted in /. unfortunately the status hangs at 0 %. all servers are reachable. what could cause this? [22:01] Im am having trouble getting my wireless card to work. It is a Linksys WMP54GS v1.1 card. Any Ideas? [22:01] blade: yeah you can [22:01] acicula, 2 cards both with monitors on them? [22:02] blade yeah, you will need to run seperate X instances on both cards though [22:02] thinkt510 why cant i tab your name, lets start off? [22:02] acicula, so it's just a matter of installing the drivers and ccc and then edit the xorg file [22:04] ThinkT510 ? [22:05] Unity/compiz seems to have gone haywire and I cant do anything except move the mouse and ctrl.alt.fx ... Is there anything I can try to restore my session without [22:05] blade: you dont need to run two X instances even, you do need to edit xorg though, or use a tool that configures it for you [22:05] ...losinig my session [22:05] !Xinerama [22:05] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [22:05] start there [22:05] I had windows open I did not want to lose [22:06] Im am having trouble getting my wireless card to work. It is a Linksys WMP54GS v1.1 card. Any Ideas? [22:06] acicula, thank you [22:07] Can anyone hear me btw, or do I need to login? [22:07] fructose_: we can see you [22:07] fructose_: we can hear you [22:08] fructose_: you can try restarting the windowmanager, in a console type export DISPLAY=:0 [22:08] !dualhead [22:08] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [22:08] acicula, how do I remove fglrx? [22:08] im a patient guy but i gotta say this is a funny situation im in lol [22:08] TrentH: deactivate the driver via additional drivers [22:09] fructose_: and then try compiz --replace [22:09] Acicula: will i lose the windows I had open? [22:09] fructose_: killing the windowmanager should not kill your session or any programs you have open [22:09] The driver is not activated [22:09] hi, what's the Mac version about? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/alpha-2/ === ok12345 is now known as knownBetter [22:10] TrentH: then its not installed? tried the uninstall option of the ati driverpackage you downloaded? [22:10] acicula: It tries to init, then set faults [22:10] fructose_: it segfaults? [22:10] *seg faults [22:10] fructose_: euh, try metacity --replace then [22:10] i was wondering if someone could assist me in resetting my keyboard layout to the some sort of default. i removed my keybindings in gconf and reset the layout via the gui tool in gnome, but bad things still happen [22:11] then go back, save your stuff and logout and back in [22:11] the ctrl keys power down the system and the shift keys alter volume. emacs.... is unusable [22:11] fructose_: did that work/ [22:12] acicula: No seg fault, but the view is still frozen except for the mouse [22:12] i never set any of these options btw. just, 'kind of happened' somewhere [22:13] acicula: Was I supposed to actually kill something first? [22:13] fructose_: then i think you are out of luck [22:13] fructose_: no the --replace ensures it replaces whatever is your current window manager [22:13] acicula: I had unity [22:13] if that does not give you control back even though it starts then i suppose its X itself causing problems [22:14] *hate [22:14] any good disk cloning program [22:14] fructose_: you can select classic ubuntu at the login prompt after you select your user [22:14] So any of enjoying the sudden x crashes to the login? [22:14] acicula: Yeah...will have to do that [22:15] acicula: Thanks for trying though [22:16] yw [22:18] Where do I go to tell Shuttleworth that Unity is bad and he should feel bad? [22:19] ha [22:19] <___Alex___> my X Windows Session is locked and the lock screen isn't coming up... how can I kill the screensaver without killing the entire X session? === michael is now known as Guest32507 [22:20] <___Alex___> unlock screen even... screensaver is showing but I can't enter in a password or anything... [22:21] hey all, any ideas what would be causing this http://sandbox.vincomm.net/~reza/bond1%20error.jpg [22:21] bond0 comes up without issue, bond1 has issue [22:21] is it possible to disable for a gui program all the keys of keyboard and allow only the arrow keys? [22:21] ___Alex___: Are you running gnome? [22:21] fructose, let me know when you find it i will do the same [22:21] ikonia , you around? [22:21] <___Alex___> fructose: ubuntu classic, yup [22:22] <___Alex___> fructose: on irssi from cli via ctrl-alt-f1 [22:22] ___Alex___: Google tells me there's a gnome-screensaver-command with an --exit option [22:22] <___Alex___> fructose: I'd love to google but elinks / lynx is kinda crappy :) [22:22] ___Alex___: No worries [22:22] anyone having/heard of problems like unstable internet connection? [22:23] ___Alex___: Just emphasizing I don't have experience with it [22:23] Do you have an Ubuntu question ? [22:23] Lets stick to the topic ? [22:23] yes me [22:23] <___Alex___> fructose: how would i set my xdisplay to my current xsession instead of my tty window? [22:24] blackhawk, yes i have sat Internet = unstable [22:24] new to ubuntu and i'm noticing unstable internet connection [22:24] xibalba: be with you shortly [22:24] so how do we fix it [22:24] Try export DISPLAY=:0 ? [22:24] ? [22:25] i'm new so i don't understand what is that lol [22:25] unstable ? [22:25] it has nothing to do with Linux/Unix it's your isp [22:25] etf [22:25] no,this "Try export DISPLAY=:0 ?" [22:25] well i have another computer which is working fine] [22:26] blackhawk, then you need to check your lan driver [22:26] not quit sure but first time experiencing it so i was wondering if it's ubuntu [22:26] blackhawk: that was fructose talking to ___Alex___, not you. [22:26] blade,how? [22:26] blackhawk: Was talking to ___Alex___,s orry [22:26] blackhawk, lspci [22:26] ok rww :( [22:26] <___Alex___> fructose: that disabled the screensaver, but my display is not updating (probably the root problem)... is there a way to force a screen redraw? [22:26] blackhawk, in terminal [22:27] ___Alex___, ctrl-alt-f7 [22:27] ok,i know the terminal lol [22:27] then === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [22:27] <___Alex___> nit-wit: I know how to move from tty to X session, but that's not causing it to redraw everything... :( [22:27] blackhawk, look for your lan card and check to see if you have drivers instaled for it [22:28] ok [22:28] <___Alex___> all I see is a mouse cursor [22:28] ___Alex___, not sure if you didn't shutdown X sorry. [22:28] blackhawk, only other thing i can think of is ubuntu tweak [22:28] <___Alex___> nit-wit: yeah, I'm not tryng to shutdown X... I just want my windows to stay open but re-init the video somehow [22:29] umm how so? [22:29] i have a z68 gigabyte motherboard btw [22:29] ___Alex___: I've never tried it, but apparently there is a gnome-session-save [22:30] blackhawk, i also have a gigabyte MoBo [22:30] ___Alex___: And then gnome-session to start it again [22:30] <___Alex___> fructose: interesting, but I'm running a terminal window doing a couple of jobs and a virtual machine... will those still continue to run if I restart the X session? [22:31] hello i want to buy this pen and i want to be sure thats will work on linux it convert my screen on my laptop to touch screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBr9kU4Knp4&feature=player_embedded [22:32] ___Alex___: Without experience, I can't promise anything. The manpage says it saves a snapshot of the currently running applications [22:32] ___Alex___: I don't know if that means it will just terminate and reopen them later or if it will try to reattach to the ones that were already open [22:33] ok,one more thing,how do you install plugins? like quakelive one? [22:33] blackhawk, i am unsure what you mean.... plugins for what? [22:34] for a web browser,like the quakelive game plugin [22:34] blackhawk, what browser.... firefox? [22:35] yea,or chrome if you know that too,but mainly firefox [22:35] ___Alex___, does right-alt + printscreen + K log you out ( ugly way, i know ) wich keeps your processes running, and i hope this disable screeensaver ? [22:35] this is the picture of the pen i want to buy and i want it's programmes [22:36] blackhawk, open firefox and go to the tools tab... then to addons [22:36] blackhawk, search for your plugin or browse [22:37] i thought i seen nitwit [22:37] I can't access the Internet from my Linux machine. I have a Linksys wireless card. Can anybody help me? [22:38] Darklord6229: yep [22:38] Darklord6229: What chipset do you have? [22:38] Darklord6229: PM me maybe easier [22:38] ok this is about the installed ones,how about adding one? [22:38] i've downloaded the plugin from the site [22:38] i want to add it [22:38] "QuakeLivePlugin_433.xpi" [22:38] that is it's name [22:38] blackhawk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:38] <___Alex___> OerHeks: logging out usually kills all windows [22:39] <[snake]> Ok, I installed windows AFTER ubuntu. and then I fixed the grub so I am in ubuntu now. but how can I get a nice menu for at bootup? [22:39] <___Alex___> OerHeks: so I'm avoiding doing that ;) [22:39] <[snake]> im using grub2 [22:39] blackhawk, in that same tab that i told you about you can search for ones that are not installed also [22:39] never install windows after ubuntu, lol [22:39] [snake]: If you fixed grub it should show the menu at every boot now. [22:40] ___Alex___, hard logout kills ? oops, sorry my bad [22:40] eighteens no problem lol [22:40] <___Alex___> OerHeks: the screensaver has been disabled, but the windows' aren't redrawing... tried to do a gtk-window-decorator --replace but no luck... (I broke down and installed elinks) [22:40] just kiding [22:40] blade,it's not in the search [22:40] Eighteens, i'm not [22:40] blackh [22:40] blackhawk, one sec [22:40] <[snake]> edbian, ok i just did it a second time, I will look. if I don't return, then it probably worked. [22:41] [snake]: ok [22:41] errm [22:41] im reading since 15 minutes the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades <- there's no "upgrade" button. [22:41] is it also possible to do that in a terminal..?

Are the instructions out of date? [22:42] blackhawk, you should be able to do that from the tools tab like i said as for how to download and install i have no idea [22:42] <[snake]> edbian, I'm back. it didn't work. [22:43] anyone with experience of turning off webcam led? :) [22:43] [snake]: What happens when you boot? [22:43] blade how long have you gone by that nick, just curious if your someone i use to know from like 16 or so years ago [22:43] <[snake]> well, it goes through bios, then i see a cursor blinking in the corner, and bam! within 4 seconds im already logged into ubuntu [22:43] quem i dont even want to know lol but if you search for cam in your package manager you should find some cool programs [22:44] edbian, theres nothing like that (selecting lts/normal) [22:44] Eighteens, most of my life [22:44] did you use to run a gaming server? in like 95 ot 96 [22:44] Eighteens, what state do you know "Blade" from [22:44] wdp: hang on, overwhelmed right now [22:44] i'm having trouble with suspending the system, it just freezes with a black screen, so i read somehwere to use "acpitool", that worked by suspending, but waking up is failing with the same black screen, any solutions? i'm on HP DV6 with dual GPUs [on Lucid] [22:44] dude would call me, i went by crackerbox [22:45] <[snake]> crackerbox... lol [22:45] <[snake]> thats a cool name [22:45] blade: looking into the webcam module.. heh. hmm.. not looking good for me so far though. [22:45] I am using Natty amd64 and have two monitors. When I don't set the displays to both have the same resolution the wallpaper turns black and objects that appear on the screen stay there indefinitely, is this a known bug? Is there some way to fix this? [22:45] <[snake]> edbian needs an award, he's helping at least three or four people right now. [22:45] <[snake]> at the same time O_O [22:46] quem, lots of cool webcam control programs around just need to do a little looking [22:46] [snake]: hahaha :) [22:46] [snake] , same with ikonia [22:46] edbian, nevermind.

[22:50] [snake]: sure [22:50] this chat is only in english [22:51] xibalba: be a man, use ed [22:51] =P [22:52] ed is the standard [22:52] blade i'm not sure but i can't find it when i search for it in the add-ons managers [22:52] and again the connection problem happened and suddenly all the messages flooded into me at once [22:53] <\bMike\b> When I try to mount my encrypted directory using ecryptfs-mount-private, I only get the Readme file and the .desktop file.

[23:19] justine777w: if you have a specific question, i'll try to answer it, but there's no way you could have even read it all yet [23:19] Hey guys ! A new distro is coming soon ! http://polyboxos.schreiberstein.de/wp/ [23:19] cyperbg, no, the instance in /etc/rc.local needs to be set as root [23:20] !ot | Python [23:20] Python: #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! [23:20] OerHeks how would I do that? [23:21] gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local #and put your command before exit 0 [23:21] OerHeks I did gksudo nautilius and then I opened it, otherwise can't edit it [23:21] I think this is the same [23:22] same way to edit it as root, oke [23:22] so I did that [23:22] cyperbg, did you set it before exit 0 ? [23:22] yes [23:22] before [23:23] im having an issue mounting with sshfs, when i do sudo sshfs it says: "Connection reset by peer", but i need to do the command with sudo since i want to mount it /media/... the command works without sudo if i mount in my home folder. Also, i have copyed the entire .ssh folder from my user to root, so thats not the problem [23:23] OerHeks I even tried that: [23:23] cd ~/Autominer [23:23] ./startmining.sh [23:23] please excuse laziness ! interested in finding earlier pastes of text on my ubuntu 10.10 like clipboard storage [23:24] Actually on Natty 11.04 [23:24] OerHeks any other ideas? [23:24] please excuse laziness ! interested in finding earlier pastes of text on my ubuntu 10.10 like clipboard storage [23:24] cyperbg, i don't konw why it does not run [23:25] somebody here know how i can replace evoloution with thunderbird in indicator.. [23:25] My mta server works =D [23:25] cntb: check out glipper [23:26] anyone else know why adding a line to rc.local does not run at startup? [23:26] cyperbg: be more specific [23:27] greetings earthlings [23:27] cyperbg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto [23:28] jrib I have this script called startmining.sh that I want to run at reboot automatically. What is the best way to do that? [23:28] I got a question for you all if anyone has the time [23:28] just ask bmanplus2 [23:29] is there still an issue with flash and 64bit linuxes? [23:29] well I dont know if I am in the right place but when vineyard is installed it takes over the places menu [23:30] !startup | cyberbg [23:30] cyberbg: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [23:31] when I click on a menu in places it asks me where to put it in vineyard [23:31] DasEi I've tried that, but it is a script that calls other scripts - it won't work when addedd to Startup Applications [23:31] I'm having a problem- my ubuntu server is not allowing http connections after an update today- anyone have any ideas? [23:31] will do dougsko .thank you quick response from you [23:31] cyperbg: read the link i gave you. the short answer is that rc.local is not the debian way of starting things === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [23:32] dougsko I'll have a read and report back [23:32] cyberbg: you can add it to /etc/rc.local , that file runs with superprivilegs last in backup, and let's you do it, finish it with a "&" (no quotes) [23:32] last in startup* [23:32] the upgrade was to natty with about 600MB in new packages [23:33] if that helps [23:33] DasEi I've added it there but dougsko just said that rc.local is not the debian way of starting things [23:33] how do I increase the swap size ? [23:33] DasEi forget it - I added it to the Startup application and it runs fine now :D [23:33] go into gparted, unmount it, and increase it [23:34] not neccisarily in that order [23:34] cyperbg: use @reboot in your crontab or create a proper upstart script [23:34] the installer auto-set it wrong (bug?) [23:34] cyperbg: nice, have fun [23:34] So can anyone help with my server issue? [23:34] cyperbg: note that in startup application it only runs after login [23:34] It's rather urgent. [23:35] azripah: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [23:35] jrib my username logins automatically [23:35] azripah: can it shrink the main position tho? [23:35] partition* [23:35] jrib: I did- nobody answered [23:35] Basically it refuses any connections with http or https [23:35] but ssh is fine [23:36] jrib: speaking of upstart, is there a way to make it drop privleges when running something? if it can, i could never figure out how [23:36] azripah: verify the server is running? [23:36] CoJaBo: you can use gparted to resize partitions, but then will have to correct the uuids in /etc/fstab [23:36] CoJaBo:It can shrink the main partition if you unmount it which is only possible in a live environment [23:36] jrib:I'm using irssi on the server actually [23:36] please help me, i have ubuntu 11.04 installed on my pc, everytime i login it keeps default setting for sound preference, how can i make it remember my sound settings on each restart [23:36] !blkid | CoJaBo [23:36] CoJaBo: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [23:36] azripah: I mean the server program (like apache) [23:37] jrib:yeah, of course. First thing I checked [23:37] azripah: so can you view the page locally on the server? [23:38] jrib:no, when I go to it on links it says something like permission denied [23:38] I can of course view it manually on /var/www [23:38] excuse me, is there still an issue with adobe flash and 64bit linux systems? [23:38] DasEi: where else are the uuids stored? I had to format a swap partition once, and it did not resume from hibernate even after fixing /etc/fstab [23:38] azripah: does it give the same permission denied message remotely? [23:38] hi guys. what is a nice firewall for ubuntu? [23:38] slashfoo: only if your from like 2005 [23:39] you're* [23:39] adac: iptables [23:39] only one you'll ever need [23:39] jrib:on firefox nightly it says "cannot establish connection to the server" [23:39] adac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [23:39] I'm guessing it'd say the same on links but I'm on a windows laptop right now [23:39] can someone look at my question above and help me [23:39] is there a better media player then rythem box if some what is it [23:40] how do i reinstall grub after installing fixing my windows mbr? [23:40] lfender:banshee, exaile, amarok [23:40] dougsko, oh thanks! [23:40] jrib: thank you :) [23:41] !grub | senix [23:41] senix: 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) [23:41] slashfoo: make sure your runing latest flash version [23:41] senix: first above link [23:41] what would racomand [23:41] DasEi, thnx [23:41] how can i get upstart to log to a file during boot? [23:41] Hey [23:41] Can i get some help [23:42] ciss: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Debugging [23:42] Colin969: if you ask a question [23:42] Anyone? [23:42] !ASK | Colin969 [23:42] Ah [23:42] Colin969: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:42] Well... [23:43] ciss: which info you want logged ? [23:43] k, new question then- if I reformat a swap partition and fox the uuid in fstab, where else do I have to fix it to get hibernate to work again? [23:43] I formatted my Ubuntu partion from a second copy of Ubuntu, now on boot I get Error : File Not Found Grub Rescue > [23:43] I read up about it but i dont have a USB or CD For a few days [23:43] so, any help? [23:44] Is there anyway to boot into XP at all until then? [23:44] CoJaBo: thanks [23:44] DasEi: basically the whole verbose output [23:45] Nope? [23:45] ciss: look in /var/log (syslog...) and pipe dmesg to a file [23:45] Colin969, you can repair the MBR with your windows cd [23:46] ciss: also you can disable bootsplash, though messages are hard to read because of speedy scrolling [23:46] Oerheks, im asking anyway WITHOUT A Ubuntu USB or live CD [23:46] ciss: the link i gave you shows how to do exactly that. the short answer is you add --verbose to your kernel options where upstart is called [23:46] Colin969: probably not [23:46] Damn =/ [23:47] ciss: dmesg > dmesg.txt && gedit dmesg.txt [23:47] No netbook till wednesday them. [23:47] colin969 you could attempt to use an sd card [23:47] Oh BTW Th0r is there a way to install a Ubuntu Partition in windows? [23:48] Colin969: there is wubi, but I don't use ubuntu so have no experience with it [23:48] Hearnoseeno The cloest i have is a 512mb MS DUO [23:48] Which i could use but its JUST Too small [23:49] colin969 [23:49] Hmm [23:49] how to make system remember my sound preferences forever, it keeps coming to default level on restart currently, i have ubuntu 11.04 installed [23:49] Colin969: 512 bootable ? use netinstaller image [23:49] colin969 well if you're really stuck till wednesday you can always try to just find a small live os [23:50] until you can get ubuntu up and running at another date [23:50] anyone use wifi and get transfer speeds over 3 - 3.5MB/s? I have a 802.11b/g/n router and adapter cards, both of which support both 2.4 and 5ghz. even with my laptop and router on the same desk i can [23:50] !minimal | Colin969 [23:50] Colin969: 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 [23:50] *i can't get more than 3MB/s [23:51] DasEi, I was wondering as well, why isnt there a Ubuntu Netbook 11.04? I updated fine from 10.10 [23:51] Colin969: netbook is depreciated [23:51] !netbook [23:51] !netbook [23:51] Hmm? [23:52] deven_: according to here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting, 'sudo alsactl store 0' might do the trick [23:52] Ill try out Minimal later if i can get somin done [23:52] Colin969: no factoid there, it's integrated in the standard installer now [23:53] DasEi, Oh, [23:53] is anyone familiar with chromium-browser? [23:53] Hearnoseeno Vaguely [23:53] thanks alot dougsko [23:53] dougsko: did that already, but the messages were flashing by. i'm currently trying the init=/bin/bash strategy to debug my boot problems [23:53] !details | hearnoseeno [23:53] hearnoseeno: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:54] I'm trying to get logging via this command: chromium-browser --enable-logging --v=1 [23:55] Back in a sec [23:55] trouble is that I can't find the .log file and it's frustrating since the search takes awhile and sometimes crashes or freezes [23:55] Think i can get this running [23:56] *searching the system's files/folders [23:56] DasEi, shall I extract the ISO in 7-Zip into the card? [23:57] Colin969: no, use unetbootin for windows and play it to the card [23:57] Ok. [23:58] Why do i bloody love this IRC Channel? [23:58] rofl :) [23:58] Im pissed off too, i'd just downloaded like 80GB of stuff [23:59] Colin969: anyway, keep language friendly [23:59] <\bMike\b> When I try to mount my encrypted directory using the passphrase I wrote down when the encrypted homedir was made, I only get the Readme file and the .desktop file.
