[00:01] th0r: yup [00:01] I realized my 1 was wrong [00:01] should be * to get every minute, i was asking for x:01 [00:01] hi guys, got a problem with sudo, when I do not have any eth adaptors up it hangs for long time (sometimes 10 minutes) Could it be because i have a samba folder mounted in to my home and when the network is down it just hangs because it cannot access it? If I umount -a prior to sudo operation it never hangs... Should it behave this way? [00:01] fakingfantastic: I couldn't get that command to work in cron. But I created a script with just that command in it, and cron executed that without problems [00:02] fakingfantastic: it appears cron cannot handle parameters passed to the command in the command line [00:02] so you are saying, make a cron.txt, make it executable, and just tell cron to run that file? [00:03] the UNEtbootin is ioopen now [00:03] I am searching my downloaded Linux [00:03] fakingfantastic: not quite. Create a 'touchme' script with the touch command, and then schedule cron to execute touchme [00:03] sw0rdfish: you shure it's only mysql that's not correctly installed (ie, didn't prompt you for a pass) ? or, did you simply remove aptitude yourself?

[00:09] coz_, its not fitting in that 1gb [00:09] induz, I believe austrumiu is far less than 1gig [00:09] induz, do you have other stuff on that flash drive? [00:09] yes [00:10] induz, well you need a a blank flash drive for this to work [00:10] induz, remove what is on there and try again [00:10] Q: I am trying to install 11.04 from a usbstick... i made the boot usb stick, booted into it, .... but my desktop (ubiquity, etc) keeps crashing!? [00:10] is there a way to install it without graphics? [00:11] its done and asking me to reboot the entire computer [00:11] dennisn: upload your ~/.bashrc and ~/.xinitrc to a pastebin, such as www.pastebin.com [00:11] moxbox, it's whatever is in the alternative.iso image [00:12] coz_, I thought its going to format and wipe my USB drive and install [00:12] adzy, [00:12] induz, well actually it should have but you may have to do it manually now [00:12] adzy: as [00:12] moxbox, (i tried creating a new user, so i could logout, and into "classic mode"... but things seem to be read-only :\) [00:13] !alternate | dennisn [00:13] dennisn: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:16] not really [00:16] induz, ok then format it fat with the disk utility and try again [00:16] coz_, yes there are other files too and i can see the USB drive [00:16] induz, I have to break here,, I will be back later,, let me know how it works out [00:17] let me reboot it [00:17] induz, just format it and try again [00:17] hello thes is q whats up [00:17] why is sudo command lagging when I cannot access servers setting in resolv.conf due to adapter being ifdown? (it is not because of the mount as I said earlier) [00:17] it lags 5-10minutes! [00:19] hey st.net whats up its q [00:19] Snooffy: top or htop would be a good starting point to figure out what is loading down the system [00:20] if i download a .deb file how to i install/unpack it? [00:21] adzy: double-click it, or sudo dpkg -i file.deb [00:21] rww: thanks ;) its d/l now [00:22] th0r: from top Cpu (s) 0.2&us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 97%id, 0.0%wa the rest 0.0%; memory: 1.5GB free, swap:7GB free, 4GB cached... [00:23] th0r: it does't use the system, i can move with the mouse, switch between the windows, it just would not open anything until the sudo finishes after a few minutes... its like a pause.. [00:24] How would one go about downloading packages from a repo,, putting them on a flash drive, transferring them to a different pc without internet and installing them heh? [00:24] I need to get my ndis drivers setup so I can use a usb wireless card [00:25] Snooffy: can you pastebin cat /etc/hostname && cat /etc/hosts ? [00:25] Snooffy: did you run top while waiting for the sudo...or can you? [00:25] And I think I answered my own question apt-get --download-only [00:25] th0r i did tun it when waiting for sudo in other terminal windows [00:26] exutux: i'll try :D [00:26] help me to copy this filedescriptor to .flv video 53 -> /tmp/FlashXXIW1U0V (deleted) [00:27] phenom: you need download and install dependencies too, if it needs [00:27] cp 56 ~/video.flv just copy filedescriptor, no the entire video :S [00:27] phenom: there is also aptoncd which can use your downloaded packages, or you can just do it manually by copying the debs [00:27] can anyone recommend a command line stress testing utility I can use on some of my servers? [00:28] phenom: you can also grab the daily alternate ISO (if one exists) and use that to upgrade :) [00:28] elz89: http://www.mersenne.org/ [00:28] elz89: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8790121 [00:29] thanks both of you :-) [00:29] just checking it all out [00:31] helpme somebody please .

But I'm almost there :D [00:39] hiiii [00:39] Snooffy: np :) [00:40] ActionParsnip: it would seem mprime is the better option after all, because according to that thread, it stops upon any error. don't want any cpu's going pop really! :-p [00:41] elz89: error as in instability - aka bad overclock [00:41] bindi: are there any deps you know of to run mprime on ubuntu natty [00:41] my dad went to install ubuntu [00:41] and he said it worked fine and then he got some sort of IO error [00:41] he brought his computer to me [00:41] elz89: just download the 32bit or 64bit one, extract (tar xzf mprime266.tar.gz) and run ./mprime [00:41] it clearly doesn't have a boot loader [00:41] what most likely went on here?

[00:51] is there a specific channel for debugging suspend issues? [00:51] ActionParsnip: but there's a way , people says this works too [00:51] Captainkrtek: this: 01:49 -!- captaink|offline is now known as Captainkrtek [00:51] why is that bad?

[00:53] Snooffy: you can lock resolv.conf [00:54] alex220784: may help: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/06/enable-surround-sound-in-ubuntu-linux.html [00:54] exutux: how? Give only read permitions for root? [00:54] Snooffy: edit it with your nameservers and after lock it with sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf [00:55] Snooffy: you can set the interface to DHCP (address only) in network manager and set your own DNS servers for the connection, if its wireless you can even set it for each SSID you connect to :) [00:55] exutux: why not just configure network manager properly instead, much cleaner [00:55] Snooffy: but remember that if you need edit it in the future you need set chattr -i [00:55] ActionParsnip: i've unistalle dnetwork manager.. got it all set up in /etc/network/interfaces [00:55] ActionParsnip: sure [00:55] I want to make sure suspend is fixed on my laptop for oneric, how can I get help reporting bugs? [00:56] Snooffy: is the interface set to static IP? [00:56] ActionParsnip: but I think that him doesn't use NM [00:56] exutux: apparently so :) [00:56] ActionParsnip: nope it's DHCP problem [00:56] :p [00:56] exutux: anyway it seems to me that addding another line with the IP and local.domain.name solved the lagging [00:56] technomancy: ubuntu-bug acpi [00:56] dhcp get nameservers from dhcp server [00:56] exutux: just see if it did not buggered the samba [00:57] good [00:57] ActionParsnip: I don't know if it's a dupe of these other bugs I'm finding, and I don't know how to get enough logs to constitute a good bug report [00:57] Why am I getting this error message when I try and use 'sudo' ? sudo: unable to resolve host {myhostname} [00:58] felipe_Brz: you changed your hostname in /etc/hostname but not in /etc/hosts [00:59] lol hosts vs hostname tonight [00:59] ActionParsnip i tried may things, but steel no suround :( [00:59] ActionParsnip: one iface is set to static, the other one to dhcp [00:59] felipe_Brz: you now need to reboot to root recovery mode and make the hostname in /etc/hostname resolve to 127.0.0.1 or sudo will not work [00:59] Anyone know how to modify ubuntu sounds and log on screen ? [00:59] alex220784: can you run the long command I gave and give the URL it generates [01:00] ActionParsnip: you beat me to answering that one, my connection reset :P [01:00] ActionParsnip: 127.0.1.1 :p [01:00] exutux: either is fine. any IP in 127.0.0.0/8 will work :) [01:01] ActionParsnip: hmmm It's funny that I am allowed to run command that would require sudo without typing sudo [01:01] stanleigh: are you using gnome? [01:01] felipe_Brz: are you running as root? [01:01] Yeah/ [01:01] Yeah. ^ [01:01] ActionParsnip: yeah but 127.0.0.1 is localhost normally [01:01] Captainkrtek: yeah, I'm root [01:01] exutux: thanks a milion... so just to summarize that, in hosts file i can have different names asigned to diferent IP's ? [01:01] felipe_Brz: that resolution needs to happen. Currently the OS cannot communicate between services [01:01] stanleigh: go to System -> preferences -> startup applications and find gnome login sound [01:01] Snooffy: sure [01:01] ok 2 secs, brb ty [01:01] felipe_Brz: root is the superuser (su) sudo passes commands to su [01:02] Will try .... bur i not sure how to do it. [01:02] exutux: usually yes but you can ping 127.0.10.100 and you will get replies [01:02] obvs :D [01:02] ActionParsnip: I'm just a littke [01:02] uhm [01:03] exutux: provided the first octet is 127 you can use anything you desire [01:03] ActionParsnip: I'm just a little finicky [01:03] this probably isn't the right place to ask, but does anyone know if the power sent through an ide style power plug is the same as sent through an sata style plug (ie, can you get an adapter for ide to sata power connectors?) [01:03] found it :) [01:04] caneberra resides in bin, i assume thats the media ? [01:04] and gtk play is the command for "play" obv [01:04] How do I remote into a non gui version of ubuntu? [01:04] Snooffy: if you have set chattr +i for /etc/resolv.conf ...remeber for the future :D if you need reedit it chattr -i [01:05] ActionParsnip im not sure hor to do that. [01:05] Snooffy: samba runs? [01:05] stanleigh: yes [01:06] Thanks very much. [01:06] no problem [01:07] exutux: yep i can see the folders on network from win pc's did not even have to restart the samba server... one more thing i have to do: restart the whole machine and see if it will be a'right in case of sudden restart if i won't be around.. [01:08] alex220784: I gave the command, just copy and paste it to a terminal. I'm VERY sure you can do that [01:10] I have a windows APP. running under wine. It has a dongle attached to the printer port. How do I configure wine to access/use the printer port the dongle is attached to? [01:10] what's wrong with firefox in ubuntu? I can't right click or use any menu [01:11] fredz_: open a terminal and do the following [01:11] cd ~/.wine/dosdevices [01:11] ln -s /dev/lp0 lpt1 [01:12] ActionParsnip can you give one more time hat comand. [01:12] Captainkrtek: really, wow. Thats nice [01:12] ActionParsnip: ? [01:12] alex220784: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [01:12] Captainkrtek: did that and the app still can't see the dongle. [01:12] salut [01:12] Captainkrtek: the symlink for printing etc, does that work? [01:13] not sure [01:13] fredz_: hmmm [01:13] exutux: i hade this issue since i've set up the samba server on it... Could not find the problem anywhere, my friend pointed me at resolv.conf which solved the logging issue (I could not log in sometimes because of that so i had to go to recovery and replace it from root bash) i had to put a script in to the interfaces which replaces the /etc/resolv.conf file with the "good" one from my backup every time I shut the DHCP adapter down.. [01:14] Captainkrtek: I know the port works as I can boot to win98 and it works ok, but I would rather it all worked in ubuntu. [01:14] fredz_: if it's using lpt1, ln -s /dev/lp0 lpt1 should work sufficiently [01:14] are you running wine through sudo fredz_ ? [01:14] does someone know how to umount a bind mount ? [01:15] Captainkrtek: there is a very good question. Am I supposed to? [01:15] fredz_: well, to add that dosdevice to wine you cd to your home directory, sudo would execute in it's home directory... [01:16] Having problems installing Ubuntu 11.04 on external HDD with 4K sectors. Installer partitioner shows only 1/8 of the capacity while the Disk Utility or other commands show it correctly. Installer complains at the end installing the bootloader. Possibly unable to locate the MBR. Can anyone provide more help? Haven't find anything useful in 3+ days of googling. [01:16] Action Parsnip do you know how to test it now? [01:16] Captainkrtek: when I added the link I used sudo, but I am simply launching the app from within wine. [01:17] fredz_: when you run it, does a window open and ask for your password? [01:17] Snooffy: now you found issue!! [01:17] Captainkrtek: no [01:17] Shit I freaking broke my server :( [01:17] TonyWanis: language please, but we can help [01:17] Anyone help? [01:18] Captainkrtek: It was smoking [01:18] I'm a server admin, I can try to help TonyWanis [01:18] Can u fix that [01:18] like physically smoking... [01:18] Captainkrtek: A little yes [01:18] ... [01:18] can't really fix that [01:18] Maybe you should go for computer maintenance. Try your local computer part dealer. [01:19] fabianhjr: They don't fix servers [01:19] TonyWanis: is it your own server? [01:19] like at home [01:19] Yes [01:19] Server = Client in abstract. [01:19] TonyWanis: did it overheat maybe? [01:19] It's sitting here right next to me [01:19] alex220784: the command doesn't change anything. It gives us details about your sound [01:19] Maybe [01:19] alex220784: what is the URL generated [01:20] TonyWanis: always keep it in a well ventilated room, I suggest taking it apart and finding the broken pieces [01:20] I have 2 right one was for work and the other was home [01:20] Captainkrtek: I just need a new motherboard it's black [01:20] It is like saying you would not leave a truck rather than a car in your local mechanics store. [01:20] eek [01:21] Anyone recommend a hood motherboard [01:21] TonyWanis: probably a new processor as well, you also don't want any smoke particales in your hard drive [01:21] Captainkrtek: Yealll [01:21] TonyWanis: Intel Server Motherboards are decent, also Asus [01:21] *lol [01:21] Captainkrtek: How much are they [01:21] 50-80 bucks if you go cheap. [01:21] if it's a server [01:21] I wouldnt go too cheap [01:21] good motherboard = tyan :) [01:21] Lol [01:21] ^ yes [01:21] Action Parsnip you mean this http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=929b243afb5a233c689162bc07c3c506915064fc [01:21] ?

[01:22] I just upgraded our webserver to an octo-core [01:22] Captainkrtek: I did and I don't have that much money [01:23] it's sooooo fast [01:23] TonyWanis: can't help much :/ [01:23] sorry mate [01:23] Tony, I suggest you try your local dealer. They can get any part + assist you all the way.

The documentation indicates that I need a "working internet connection" - my question is, can I use a wifi connection for this, or do I need an ethernet cable plugged into my pc? [01:24] And talk there [01:24] TonyWanis: okay... [01:24] Captainkrtek: K irc.TonyWanis.com #TonyWanis [01:24] yaaase, yes, there is the ethernet/wifi symbol on the top bar. [01:24] yaaase, afaik wifi will work [01:24] Use it to join any network. [01:24] alex220784: may help http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/the-simple-way-to-get-51-surround-sound-audio-working-in-ubuntu/ [01:25] Then proceed. [01:25] fabianhjr / W4RH4WK thank you very much [01:25] yaaase: you don't strictly need a wifi connection [01:25] yaaase, but be warned, it could get a little bit complicated when you install ubuntu without gui [01:25] yaaase: but yes you can use wifi [01:25] joining [01:25] W4RH4WK: not if its a single boot :D [01:25] yaaase, i mean the wifi settings [01:26] any way to see what's going on behind the splash screen as it's happening? [01:26] the text mode [01:26] ActionParsnip I only have a wifi connection at the moment, so as long as I can use that and don't brick my laptop due to connection failure, I'm happy. [01:26] copumpkin, you tried booting without the splash option [01:26] yaaase: if you use the alternate or desktop ISO you will be fine [01:26] TonyWanis: I joined [01:26] W4RH4WK: I mean actually during a boot. I'm reluctant to reboot when I'm not sure what it's doing [01:26] yaaase: sure your system doesn't have ethernet. Very weird [01:27] Captainkrtek: It's not on this server [01:27] ActionParsnip my system does, I just don't have it personally at the moment lol [01:27] yaaase: You're currently dual booting, and just want to get rid oof windows? [01:27] moxbox yes that is correct [01:27] Captainkrtek, can you help me install Ubuntu on a 4K external hdd lying about being a 512 one?(Advanced Format bull) It complaints at the end about GRUB, not finding the MBR possibly. I am a beginner at this. :/ [01:27] I've been using `links2 -g` while running some resource intensive programs on this box (1gb ram total :\), it works really well but I'm curious if anyone has any other recommendations? [01:28] Why don't you just pop in a Live CD/USB installer, run gparted, erase the windows partition (after moving your data to a safe place, like your ubuntu partition), then grow the ubuntu partition to fill the disk? [01:28] moxbox: yes, is there an easier way to do that than reinstalling ubuntu in single-boot? [01:28] yaaase: I have PM'ed you [01:30] is there somebody who can recommend a specific netbook to me, (of course using ubuntu on it... will need one at university) [01:30] ActionParsnip that is comands what i must tipe to terminal? [01:30] moxbox: could do it from ubuntu, no ned for live CD [01:30] alex220784: the page is quite clear [01:30] Probably Dell, stay away from Toshiba. Have had bad experiences. [01:31] fabianhjr: im not an expert on hard drives but I can try [01:31] Also, if I am right they might still selling the refubrished Ubuntu netbooks. [01:31] fabianhjr, thx, i was thinking about that asus netbook with dual core, but lets see... if i can find a better dell [01:32] Captainkrtek, can I use PMs from now forward? [01:32] W4RH4WK: I have Lenovo s10 running ubuntu 11.04 and now running xubuntu 11.04 NO problems [01:32] fabianhjr: sure [01:32] ActionParsnip english is not my navive thats why i dont want to misunderstood something. [01:33] alex220784: ahh you should have said [01:33] alex220784: run: gedit ~/.asoundrc [01:33] alex220784: the tect in bold, put that in the file [01:34] alex220784: I suggest you log off and on to apply the setting [01:37] ActionParsnip opens some window. Should i paste there that text in bold and save it? [01:39] Hey all what is up... [01:39] Girl.... hey what's up... [01:40] Hello! Anyone able to help me with an Ubuntu problem? Just installed Natty Narwhal, and I'm having problems getting it past the boot splash screen (with the 5 circles) [01:41] hello [01:41] It boots in low graphics mode, but I've tried all the basic GRUB changes I can find to fix it and none of them work. I've also tried updating the graphics card drivers. [01:42] Currently I've got it sitting in a terminal screen, because I disabled quiet splash, which apparently disables the GUI entirely? Not exactly a linux expert here, lol [01:43] jahannan: any error msg? [01:43] update ur drivers first [01:43] wildbat: A couple of suspicious messages, not really sure what they mean yet though [01:43] jahannan, booting without quiet or splash doesn't disable the gui normaly [01:44] anyone knows where can i buy a wifi usb that capture packets? [01:44] jahannan, is gdm running (sudo service gdm status) [01:44] wildbat: "n_sectors mismatch" being the main one [01:44] WHRH4WK: "gdm start/running, process 983" [01:45] pratham: Already updated my drivers, but I'll try going through with a fine tooth comb if I can't find anything else. [01:46] WHRH4WK: Yeah, I found the fact that I'm stuck in a terminal when I disable the splash to be pretty suspect. [01:46] jahannan, so ubuntu drops in in tty1 but gdm is still running can you switch to X (by pressing CTRL + ALT + F7) [01:46] I'm having the sudo: unable to resolve host {myHostName}..Is it safe just to go and edit my hosts file so that 127.0.0.1 also resolves to {myHostName}?? [01:47] W4RH4WK: I switched, but it's just stalled [01:47] ActionParsnip .... my soun now is gone :( [01:47] WHRH4WK: Last message is "Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support [ OK ]" [01:47] jahannan, try restarting it and hope some error messages will occure on tty1 (sudo service gdm restart) [01:47] WHRH4WK: There's a [fail] on "Stopping automatic crash report generation" [01:48] WHRH4WK: No error messages, just "gdm start/running, process 1477" [01:48] jahannan, if nothing appreas, try stopping gdm (sudo service gdm stop) and starting X by hand (startx) [01:49] Hmmm [01:49] Thanks, that gave me a lot of hints [01:49] np [01:49] 'Failed to load module "nvidia"' [01:49] Guess it's time for that fine-toothed comb [01:50] i think you should try reinstalling nvidia drivers [01:50] get them from the nvidia homepage (run from tty1 as root, be sure that it builds the kernel module, and configures X, than reboot) [01:51] how can I get my vertical refresh rate? [01:51] So I shouldn't get them via apt-get? [01:51] jahannan: i would use the ones from the repos first.. [01:51] jahannan, i always used the drivers from the nvidia page [01:51] jahannan: the ones in the repos were workiing? [01:52] jahannan, but go a head and try the on in the repo [01:52] jahannan, if they don't work, try the driver provided via nvidia homepage [01:52] I previously tried the ones in the repo with sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current, so I'll take that to mean that they aren't working :) [01:53] got the same issue a couple of times.. when trying to use them... [01:53] jahannan: but they used to work? or have they never worked? check output of sudo dkms status [01:54] dr_willis: They worked for 10.10, but on installing Natty Narwhal they stopped working. I assume Natty included a new version of the drivers that is causing the problem. [01:54] jahannan: this is a clean install of natty? or a upgrade? [01:55] It's an upgrade [01:56] jahannan: the other day i had to remove all the nvidia drivers for all my kernels , rebooted, then reinstalled them for the kernel i was using. for some odd reason some older versions/kernels had the current kernel messed up [01:56] jahannan: sudo dkms status - showed me then that i had several differnt versions installed that i had to remove. [01:57] work time for me.. gotta run. good luck [01:57] Thanks [01:57] bye dr. [01:59] Hrm, only one version of Nvidia drivers, nvidia-current, 270.41.06 [02:00] jahannan, page or repo? [02:00] Sorry, in dkms status [02:00] Domd work surround on my Acer Aspire 8930 :( [02:01] jahannan, invoked dkms status my selfe and have no nvidia driver at all, only vbox.. even if nvidia driver is installed xD [02:02] How do I align my SSD durning a 10.10 install?

[03:24] nit wit i installed the pluggin but now how do i fix problem? i restarted firefox but same problem persits [03:24] meunierd: put in a sleep [03:25] meunierd: would you mind sharing how you did that? i mean running a script when you put in a specific device? Some sort of Howto for that? [03:25] Is sysv-rc-conf really the right way to manage daemons from the command-line? [03:25] so I want to try installing ubuntu on an ext sata, for which I have partitioned about 200g of space, 1g on a primary on low cyl numbers and a 200g lvm pv that happens to be free [03:25] no, it waits for the script to edit, sleep has no effect [03:25] exit** [03:25] th0r, bro i have write banner [03:25] overrider_, I found they are pulled in auto :( [03:25] I cannot burn a cd at the moment, so I need some ideas as to where to go from here [03:25] and in sshd_config i out # and put banner path [03:25] dli: yeah :-/ so even if we remove them after, at the next update they may come back [03:26] but there onther one #Banner none [03:26] what i do for it ?

[03:26] emx: there should only be one banner line. You can leave the second one alone...it is commented out so it isn't read [03:26] meunierd: thanks a bunch! [03:27] emx: the # at the beginning makes it a comment, so it isn't read by sshd [03:27] maybe using a lower udev rule number... [03:29] Hello. I'm trying to use my laptop with an external display.

[04:43] stiltzkin, just ask [04:44] Could i get some help figuring out how to setup Shared Memory for my video card? it's an ATI Radeon 3100 [04:44] Physical 256mb, and up to 1049 of shared capable [04:45] Sweet. I'm trying to follow this guide: http://maketecheasier.com/install-vlc-shares-in-ubuntu-and-stream-videos-to-android/2011/02/25. Everything is configured properly, but when I try to run the setup in the web interface I get the following error: " DB Error: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 8 attempt to write a readonly database." I assume this has something to do with read/write permissions on the database file it is u [04:45] sing. I tried chmod 777ing the entire directory but the problem persists :/ [04:46] I don't know if this is a PHP problem or what. It looks like it was a bug in previous versions of the software but it's supposed to be fixed now. If it's just a simple permissions problem I'm not sure how to fix it. [04:47] Whats the .pulse and .pulse--cookie in /home/*user*? [04:47] *.pulse-cookie [04:48] !pulse | pie_ [04:48] pie_: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [04:48] pie_: That's a good guess. [04:48] authentication cookie from Root [04:49] By the way, "sudo a2enmod rewrite" returns "Module rewrite already installed," so I assume that's not the problem, right? [04:49] oooook, what would deleting them do? [04:50] possibly would just make you ask for the root password the next time it tried to run or change a setting? === b0nghittr is now known as b0nghitter [04:51] im not running anything as root... [04:51] One other diversion from this guide is that the default apache file no longer resides at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled-000-default, but rather /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. So that is the one I modified. [04:51] pie_: It has nothing to do with running as root. They're used by PulseAudio to keep track of itself. If you delete them, they're recreated at login. [04:51] i dont either pie_ [04:52] it's basicly like deleting internet history...the next time you use it, and you visit the same page that you may have before..it remakes itself in the history [04:53] Anyone here good with setting up sh?ared video memory in Linux === rww is now known as tardis [04:54] I feel like this shouldn't be a problem, because the guide specifically has me set permissions for the data directory with "sudo chmod a+rwx -R /var/www/vlc-shares/data" [04:56] loafy_, plz elaborate on that are you asking about XShm or built in Intel (most common) video which maps some of your DRAM for use as VRAM?

[04:58] hey guys on xubuntu the app firestarter where would it keep the iptables rules that it generates? i am looking for the location of the script rules used by firestarter [04:59] madPJKfan, you n.eed a ppa [04:59] !dpkg [04:59] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [05:00] nit-wit: thought something like that - is there a recommended one? [05:01] madPJKfan, acyualy karmic is at end of life you should upgrade to aviod the headaches. === niles|iPod is now known as bye [05:01] madLyfe, a fresh install would be the fastest. [05:01] nit-wit, upgrading ubuntu to -avoid- headaches is something of a joke right about now. === tardis is now known as rww [05:02] lion42, 'm not surprised I'm using W7 right m=now. [05:02] Upgrading from the 8s to the 9s was a significant upgrade on my computers [05:02] everything after that broke things, not fixed them. [05:05] I've even opened up the installer script and found the section where it sets permissions - and it indeed does chown www-data:www-data ${DESTDIR}/vlc-shares/" followed by "chmod 777 -R ${DESTDIR}/vlc-shares" [05:05] where did the gtk-config command go? [05:05] So the permissions are correct. I just don't know what causes this problem. [05:06] gtk does not install gtk-config i think that gtk+ installs it though [05:07] I've installed apache and php5 on my 10.04 VPS but apparently php is not in the path, so when I type php I get :command not found. ...Isn't php added to the path by default? That's what happened here on my 11.04 home pc. Is there something wrong? [05:07] right. Thank you. [05:08] Running my web browser as root (*shudder*) does not solve the problem either. Halp! [05:08] felipe_, you need to install php-cli [05:08] felipe_Brz: Not always. I had to manually put the pointers in the apache config when i did my first install. Now i use a webpanel so i dont have to worry [05:08] ": not found2: : not found10: " what does this mean in a .sh script? [05:09] somethine that the installer is looking for is not there. [05:09] felipe_, dpkg -l "*php*" [05:09] Alan502: , Ie gcc++ etc etc [05:09] make sure php-cli is installed [05:09] Nobgul: which package would that be in? [05:09] drzero: you mean apt-get install php-cli ? Is that how it's done? [05:09] Nakkel, gcc++! the script runs a java program? [05:09] hey i have 3 screens hooked up to my ati 5830 [05:09] felipe_, yes [05:10] Nakkel, gcc++! the script runs a java program [05:10] drzero: ok thanks [05:10] Viking667: i sec let me see [05:10] how can i change the screen where unitys launcher thing is at? [05:10] I can't seem to find it at all by using synaptic... [05:10] felipe_Brz, np :) [05:10] !classic | ionstorm67 [05:10] ionstorm67: 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". [05:11] i dont want classic [05:11] ionstorm67, whatcha want then? [05:11] i want to change the default monitor [05:11] Viking667: I can not find it wither one moment [05:11] oh [05:11] Well this kinda sucks :( [05:11] for some reason the unity launcher is on the rightmost screen [05:11] monitos is the prefrences menu [05:11] nevermind [05:11] so it is in the gap between the center and right screens [05:11] Monitors* [05:12] * drzero avoids unity like plague [05:12] monitors sets them up [05:12] but unity is still on the right most screen [05:12] GNOME + GnomeDo + Docky - is the way to go IMHO [05:12] Viking667: http://freshmeat.net/projects/gtk/ [05:12] let me tr gnome [05:13] ok [05:14] im in gnome [05:14] Nobgul: so nothing in Natty that's the "gtk-config" binary? I know that Mandriva had one a while ago, but I haven't been on that for a year or two. [05:14] ionstorm67, better now? :) [05:14] but everything is still on the right most screen [05:14] Viking667: Not that i can find. There verywell may be but apt-cache search is a bust [05:14] Nobgul: yeah. So I found. [05:15] hello... [05:15] join #wine [05:15] hello [05:15] Hola [05:15] lol [05:16] Turns out I should probably load gconf2, if what #debian said is correct. [05:16] I got segmentation fault error when I mount some of my btrfs volume. http://paste.debian.net/hidden/b5beff49/ What should I do? [05:17] Here's someone else with my problem: http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=562&p=3581&hilit=database#p3581 [05:17] Any insight appreciated. This is rather frustrating [05:18] I have two nvidia graphics cards in my system non-SLI, with two screens plugged into one of them and none in the other, and I can't get X working properly with the nvidia drivers installed. I think it is down to my xorg.conf but don't know what to do. [05:18] Viking667: Please don't use #debian for Ubuntu support. It annoys them, and that's not nice :( [05:18] irc.gr === LucasMorales is now known as joshsatterfie1d === joshsatterfie1d is now known as LucasMorales [05:20] yeah, I know - but I didn't have too many other options left... [05:20] Viking667, gtk-config was part of gtk+-1.x. gtk+-2.x uses pkg- config instead [05:21] ugh. Fark. [05:21] so unless you're building or using something relying on old(er) gtk you shouldn't need it [05:21] And of course, this codebase dates from the mid-'000s === LucasMorales is now known as rnarkamber [05:22] Viking667, what are you trying to compile? [05:22] twin === rnarkamber is now known as markambur [05:23] hmm... call me ignorant but I've never heard of it === markambur is now known as LucasMorales === LucasMorales is now known as joshsatterf1eld === joshsatterf1eld is now known as markamber [05:27] Viking667, http://linuz.sns.it/~max/twin/ - this thing? [05:27] yup. That one. [05:27] soreau [05:27] it looks like I'll have to tinker (yet again) === LucasMorales_ is now known as LucasMorales [05:27] I ran winMd5Sum [05:27] where can i find a list of ubuntu packages and their versions for 11.04 [05:28] and it says MD5 Check Sums are different [05:28] freezway: depends. if you're on one already, apt-cache will show you. [05:28] Viking667, nope im on arch [05:28] freezway: you can ask ubottu or use packages.ubuntu.com [05:28] ugh. THen you may have to go to packages.ubuntu.com [05:28] !packages | freezway [05:28] freezway: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [05:28] darn. You type too fast, ActionParsnip [05:28] Viking667, does configure script break for you? I just DLed the source and ran ./configure OK. It didn't build though... [05:29] freezway: type: /msg ubottu !info firefox natty [05:29] thanks [05:29] freezway: once you are chatting to ubottu you can just type: !info packagename natty [05:29] configure checks for several things, I'm just running through what's not installed on my system. [05:29] hi, I've installed zend framework(by myself not synaptic) under this directory: /usr/share/php/Zend. Is it correct? That is: can I install my things under /usr/share....? thank you [05:30] how can I use convert (imagemagick) from shell script interactively so that the input image can be converted ? [05:30] lonejack: you can put it in any folder as long as the OS knows where to look for it etc [05:30] !packages =~ s/20000/30000/ [05:30] I'll remember that rww [05:31] lonejack: you can put it whereever you want...in your app just ln -s /usr/share/php/Zend/library/Zend /var/www/app/library [05:31] starlite: read FILE; convert $FILE result.jpg for example [05:32] sdsheeks, ActionParsnip , thnak youù [05:32] np [05:33] anyone know of an app kinda like ubuntu one that you can use locallly on the network ? [05:33] hm? So what do you want to do with this hypothetical app? [05:34] well, i have a laptop or two, plus a desktop, just want to sync apps all the time [05:34] can someone help me with MD5SUM [05:34] i use dropbox and found is usefull [05:34] app syncs the data all the time [05:34] hm. There's thumbdrives, sshfs, or nfs [05:34] ahh, you want that sort. [05:34] Hmm.. [05:34] what files do you want to sync? [05:34] me? === david is now known as Guest98330 [05:35] no, ugly_duck [05:35] what ever is in my folder, like if i have /home/user/sync_folder [05:35] Viking667, you got me curious about that twin thing - looks pretty neat oldschool [05:35] so when i plug into the network it automaticly syncs them [05:35] drzero: it's pretty good... a bit like screen, but with movable windows. [05:36] It has severe disadvantages though, no proper UTF-8 support being the biggest thorn in my side. [05:36] ugly_duck: dropbox is sweet :) [05:36] so, in MD5SUM, it says to right click the iso file and then go to Send To> then click WinMD5SUM, but there is no "MD5SUM" button to click [05:36] ugly_duck: dropbox does support LAN syncing. and you can add several folders to sync using selective sync [05:36] ActionParsnip: I have a shell script which can be seen in http://pastebin.com/vMJ4CCAT [05:37] but it's not working [05:37] soreau, you there? [05:38] rigved: ahh.. really, will look into that [05:39] hello [05:40] how can i find my ip outside the network from terminal? [05:41] im actually running arch linux on my pogoplug pro and im trying to setup transmission so i can acces it from my phone or any computer aoutside my network [05:41] join #aries [05:41] huh? access transmission from anywhere? Why on earth FOR? [05:42] delroy__: part irc [05:42] Rafael: curl -s checkip.dyndns.org | grep -Eo '[0-9\.]+' [05:42] Viking667, why not? :) I do that with utorrent server all the time [05:42] Viking667: manage torrents remotely, add torrents from outside your lan [05:42] I tend to keep anything remote locked up on its own machine. [05:42] ActionParsnip, just switch to uTorrent man [05:43] i am using 11.04 , in my system i am having usb2.0 port but i want u use usb3.0 hdd in that will i am able 2 use that fully [05:43] Viking667: android has transdroid which works beautifully. I click a torrent on my phone and my server starts downloading it [05:43] drzero: uh, that doesn't work under Linux, does it? [05:43] Viking667, sure it does [05:43] drzero: why, transmission works fine [05:43] ... or do you run it using wine? [05:43] headless [05:43] thanks [05:43] nope - native [05:43] headless with web UI [05:43] *blink* [05:43] err, that u, would it look like a greek mu? [05:43] Viking667: its finally been made [05:44] ActionParsnip: wow. I quite like utorrent [05:44] finally as in like over a year ago :) [05:44] uh. I really am out of date. [05:44] Viking667: not used it, transmission has always been fine :) [05:44] heh. A friend of mine uses transmission too. [05:44] it's the reason we went to a "all you can eat" data plan here. [05:45] ActionParsnip, I do have to boot winblowz once in a while on this box for various reasons and uTorrent is my choice cuz I can keep win/linux torrents in sync easier [05:45] I used to like qBittorrent [05:45] never used that one. [05:45] but it's *super* resource hungry [05:46] I've used rtorrent, ctorrent, the fancy Java one, and I've seen transmission. [05:46] ActionParsnip: Have you seen the url ? [05:46] Azureus used to be cool... [05:46] oh, and I've used utorrent on Windows [05:46] before it became Vuze [05:46] That one. [05:46] I found Azureus would gobble heaps of resources. [05:46] in the early days it was quite lean [05:46] well for a java app I mean :) === jay is now known as Guest91921 [05:47] hah. I was running it on 533MHz cpu, with 768Mb [05:47] err, 512Mb [05:47] drzero: how, surely there will be 2 seperate torrent session running? [05:48] Viking667, did you steal that from a museum? [05:48] starlite: my bashfu sucks, maybe others can help. I also suggest you ask in #bash [05:48] no, it's what I had back in the day. [05:48] ActionParsnip, uh what? [05:48] why would there be two separate ones if I'm only using either Linux or Winblowz at one given time? [05:49] the machine actually walked through the door... turns out the guy who brought it told me it was some old machine without a cover that he'd found... I thought he was going to bring me this ex-shop XT with CGA or something... [05:49] drzero: well tcan the Linux client pick up the sessions from the Linux client on the NTFS side? [05:49] At the time, I had a Cyrix MII-300, so the 533 was a bit of a step up. [05:49] ... once I got some memory for it, that is [05:50] ActionParsnip, no not really, can't share the config cuz of paths [05:50] so I guess technically you're right - it doesn't really make much difference which client I'd use on Linux end [05:51] drzero: so how does it keep the torrents in sync easier if the two clients never meet? [05:51] drzero: exactly :) [05:51] hello [05:51] have chinese? [05:51] i am using 11.04 , in my system i am having usb2.0 port but i want u use usb3.0 hdd in that will i am able 2 use that fully [05:52] i am using 11.04 , in my system i am having usb2.0 port but i want u use usb3.0 hdd in that will i am able 2 use that fully [05:52] !cn | hzs [05:52] hzs: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [05:52] gaurav_natty: the usb 3 device will run at usb 2 speed [05:52] how i can see channellist? [05:53] !alis | djjonex [05:53] djjonex: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [05:54] ActionParsnip, can i change my usb 2.0 port 2 usb3.0 port [05:55] hello [05:55] how it going [05:55] fedy: Your question is better placed in #ubuntu-offtopic. [05:56] gaurav_natty: it's a different controller, you will need a PCI USB 3 card [05:56] bullgard4_: ok [05:57] actually can you help me setup a password on the guest in natty? [05:58] Would it be easier to install the normal GUI Ubuntu and change it to not normally boot into gnome? Or take a server install add gnome and make it so I can launch it manually when i need? I have a normally headless server that I want to upgrade (its currently running a really old version so im going to do a fresh install), [05:58] does it work? [05:59] slide: if you need a GUI then I'd install minimal then instal lxde and lxdm to make it super light [05:59] ActionParsnip, minimal? [06:00] is that a different image or how do you install that? [06:00] blvd can guest password be set in natty? [06:00] slide: yes its a super tiny ISO which installover WWW and installs the bare bare minimal OS, you can then add as you wish [06:01] I've been on the purple ubuntu loading screen for 15 min now [06:01] ah sounds good [06:01] You sure that's good? [06:01] TheMoonMan: are you booting the CD or an installed OS? [06:01] anyone ever used Zentyal, I'm getting a read-only error whenever i try to enable the web server module. [06:01] I booted the cd in windows [06:02] Hi, I have 2 monitors and I open deezer on the secondary monitor. When I make it full screen, it full screen'ed on the main monitor and not on the secondary. Any fix? Thanks :) [06:02] TheMoonMan: did you MD5 test the ISO before you burned it? [06:02] I ran the cd in windows* [06:02] Yes I did [06:02] TheMoonMan: good :) [06:02] Hatsh matched [06:02] Hash [06:02] TheMoonMan: and do you get the purple screen after you have logged in? [06:03] Logged on? [06:04] No I ran the cd, then it asked me to reboot, I did then it took me to the boot screen, then I hit 'ubuntu' [06:04] Then it said now installing, and then the purple ubuntu screen came up [06:05] Excuse me, I remember that Ubuntu (around) 9.04 used a package to manage Fn keys of laptops, which depended on acpid and now seems deprecated. What's its name? [06:06] TheMoonMan, it has been a a while since I installed a wubi but it may be just installing. [06:06] Anyone have any experience with pulseaudio crashing in 11.04? Happens to me consistently after a day or two of use. [06:06] Yea? I hope lol, nit-wit [06:07] Seems called acpi-support, thank you. [06:07] someone want to help me fix my HDMI issue? [06:07] I installed it earlier via ssh on the windows installer [06:07] TheMoonMan, the first part just loads the ISO and thr reboot installs. [06:07] It failed [06:07] I installed it in windows not in the boot screen [06:08] TheMoonMan, did you just let it make its own space in C, no partitioning? [06:08] In case? [06:09] In c* [06:09] someone. I cant get my HDMI working. [06:09] TheMoonMan, that is the best procedure. [06:09] What do you mean by c? [06:09] TheMoonMan, I refernce C as the usaual main partition in windows. [06:09] Zelda, video or audio (or both)? [06:10] anuy game in ubuntu s/w center like NFS most wanted? [06:10] TheMoonMan: try adding the boot option: nomodeset may help [06:10] Well it's still on the purple screen now and I have a very fast computer [06:11] TheMoonMan: for a desktop, maybe ;) [06:12] Lol maybe what? [06:12] I cloned my /sda1 (my 10.04 / partition) to /sda2 - how can i teach grub about this so it lets me choose which system to boot into when i start my PC? [06:12] Viking667, still around? [06:12] hello [06:13] overrider_, do you have a bootable OS wth grub2 now? [06:13] is there a way to view the ipod photo cache .ithmb files? [06:13] nit-wit: yes sure, i boot standardly into 10.04 which sits on sda1 [06:14] nit-wit: and i used gparted to clone sda1 to sda2, so basically would like to get a multi boot system [06:14] TheMoonMan: I have systems with 16 and 32 cores with loads of ram. I doubt your home pc has much of that, for a home user I'm sure you would think it was fast but in the great scheme of things its not [06:14] ActionParsnip: 32 cores?! What the heck kind of a processor IS that, even? [06:15] TheMoonMan: you may need to add the boot option: nomodeset to get the video working, Unity needs 3D accelleration to run and if you don't have it out of the box you'll get issues [06:15] Lol AcrionParsnip, that sounds like a server [06:15] theadmin: blade [06:15] overrider_, if you still want sda1 and access to sda2 run sudo update-grub in sda1, if you want to remove sda1 the you can get in after the update and install grub to the mbr from sda2. [06:15] theadmin: tis :) === hamnegga is now known as mcurran [06:15] well brb guys and gals, sorry [06:15] ActionParsnip: we have a few of those at work :) [06:15] rww: they rock :) [06:15] hey everyone!! just wanted to say that windows7 in Ubuntu is the only way to run Windows! lol :p [06:15] Does anyone know if I run windowsxp or 7 in a virtual machine inside ubuntu, will it be able to have accelerated graphics? Essentially I need to run the SolidWorks PhotoView 360 to render high res models [06:16] theadmin: if you use an nvidia based video chip you may want to use: nouvea.blacklist=1 [06:16] nit-wit: yes, i want them both to be available as seperate systems that live on sda1 and sda2, and i can choose which one to boot into when booting the computer. will look into update-grub - thanks [06:16] TheMoonMan: if you use an nvidia based video chip you may want to use: nouvea.blacklist=1 [06:16] theadmin: wrong target, sorry [06:16] In cmd? [06:16] hi guys [06:16] overrider_, no prblem, it is easy to load grub to the mbr from the OS if needed one command. [06:17] Sorry I am a TOTAL linux noob lol [06:17] TheMoonMan: we are all noob at one point or another. Only one way to learn, ASK [06:17] I am at times in some areas TheMoonMan . ;) [06:17] !bootoption | TheMoonMan [06:17] TheMoonMan: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [06:18] TheMoonMan: not sure how that works with wubi as I don't use it but I'm sure it'll be the same [06:18] ! Nomodeset [06:18] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [06:18] I am trying to get a quake terminal to work, and it checks if gnome terminal is open, if not it runs it, and then I want to move the window using wmctrl. But the wmctrl only works on the second run through. How can I make sure wmctrl is executed after the terminal finished starting? [06:18] or very similar [06:18] I tried wait but that didnt work, or I didnt use it right [06:19] is there someone willing to help me fix my HDMI issue? [06:19] Anyone use unity with docky/ [06:19] ? [06:19] seclm193, yes [06:19] no [06:19] how can find the location of any specific font that i know has been installed on my system? [06:19] nit-wit: i'm trying to get an idea for setup, can you send me a screenshot? [06:20] courier pitch for example? [06:20] seclm193, I'm on W7. [06:20] right ow [06:20] Now [06:20] nit-wit, oh. you have dualboot [06:21] nit-wit, i have dual boot, but found the allsome called VirtualBox. lol [06:21] seclm193, I have at lest 3 OS now usually about 5 or 6. [06:21] nit-wit, what 3 if you don't mind me asking [06:22] seclm193, W7, Natty, PinguyOS [06:22] Excuse me, what is the situation with the dell xps 15 as far as graphics are concerned [06:22] how can I execute one command after another in a .sh script, for example gnome-terminal and wmctrl? I tried gnome-terminal && wmctrl and I also tried them in separate lines with wait inbetween, both didnt work [06:22] ross`: What do you mean? [06:22] stealz: put an amperand after the first command [06:23] seclm193, last week it was the same with fedora, centos, debian, all cloned if needed. [06:23] amperand as in | ? [06:23] also dos anyone know the specifics of the technology? is it a hardare/software switch. What controls it, can you have both cards active at once and say display with intel and opencl with the nvidia [06:23] or is it a dumb hardare 1 or the other thing [06:23] ross`: nvidia optimus is a real pain to get nice [06:23] ActionParsnip: is it a hardware limitation tho? or purely software [06:23] does the hardware just turn off your nvidia card if your not using enough resources [06:24] ross`: i'd ask in #hardware [06:24] This is taking really long :( [06:24] TheMoonMan: did you try the boot option? [06:24] you mean ##hardware? im not allowed in hardware [06:24] stealz, && means execute next command only if the first one exits OK [06:24] I'm stuck on the purple screen, want me to force sd? [06:25] ross`: are you registered and identified?

[06:27] the problem is I start a terminal and keep it open [06:27] i try to install ubuntu from usb on old sharp laptop. i see in the bios 'enable usb boot' but in the boot sequence i don't have usb. what's going on here?

ActionParsnip [06:28] nit-wit, thanks. looking it up now since i've never heard of it [06:28] TheMoonMan, it's a wubi right? [06:29] slide: i used usb-creator, so i think yes.

[06:29] No I'm in busybox [06:30] Hey guys [06:30] 1.17 [06:30] I noticed the xonar ds has a strange dualboot bug. [06:30] dualboot bug? [06:30] Whenever I boot into Linux and then into windows, sound gets extremely distorted [06:30] after rebooting, it sounds fine again [06:31] mcurran, Yes... and I'm not the only one to get this [06:31] something to do with UTC time, like Mac OS X sometimes fucks with it [06:31] Sigh [06:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631405 [06:31] Here it is [06:31] mcurran, ...utc time?

[06:32] koffice ha [06:32] TheMoonMan, a ubuntu that is installed from inside windows is called a wubi install, just asking to confirm this. [06:32] just use wine guy [06:32] This is what it says: (initramfs) losetup: could not find any free loop device [06:32] mcurran: I beg your pardon? [06:33] yes that is correct nit-wit [06:33] Well, any enlightening clues? === Refael is now known as FernandoTertiary [06:33] Hmm after i used gparted to copy / clone my sda1 to sda2 partition, blkid now reports that sda1 and sda2 have the same UUID.

[06:34] use msoffice 2007 with wine, it works perfectly and you won't have to worry about formatting discrepancies. [06:34] wubi is a disgrace to linux [06:34] girl: as of 2010-03, kivio didn't have a KDE4 port. Has this changed? [06:34] nit-wit: If it is installed to a virtual disk and booted physically using this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer, its a WUBI install, if virtual box or qemu etc then no its a virtualised ubuntu install [06:35] rww: no only qt3 [06:35] girl, k [06:35] girl: I'd highly doubt it's packaged anywhere, then. [06:35] girl, that is a ded page. [06:35] *dead [06:35] hola, it appears a thing is wrong since the recent update. The desktop environment has reverted to a more aged version [06:36] rww: hmm, know any other good flowcharting program ms visio style. I tried dia but it generated bad quality bitmaps [06:36] nit-witt: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer [06:36] girl, besides that was not the install method used. [06:37] girl, from your link...Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu [06:37] ActionParsnip: Heh no, I use an AMD unfortunately [06:37] nitt-witt: It is nowardays, It was not until just recently [06:37] girl, since 8.04 I think. [06:38] it's officially supported in that most of the support team here officially hates it ;( [06:38] girl: http://alternativeto.net/software/microsoft-visio/?platform=linux [06:39] one more happy customer :) [06:39] nit-wit my problem is not in there [06:39] theadmin: Thanks [06:39] girl: No problem.

[06:40] anyways got to go [06:40] i am facing problem in ubtuntu [06:40] mr_as_khan: Just tell us the problem, no long preludes required [06:40] hey guys i am new to css and i am looking for a software similar to dreamweaver where i can edit and see the results at the same place [06:40] girl: Goodbye and have fun [06:40] or somthing similar [06:40] "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory) [06:40] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

[06:41] mr_as_khan: You have to use sudo [06:41] mr_as_khan: Like "sudo apt-get ..." [06:41] Making a start up disk on a usb flash, every 5 minutes or how ever long, it asks for my password again.

[06:42] when try to install "sudo apt-get install something" === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [06:43] mr_as_khan, of course you can, but I was talking about the USB "live CD" installation I spoke of [06:43] i get this error "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory) [06:43] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?" [06:43] mr_as_khan: Do you have Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center, or Update Manager running? [06:43] TheMoonMan, wubi is for people to exsperience ubuntu and be able to remove it from add remove, no partitioning. basically if you like it a dual boot is suggested, it is a little unstable in that a grub update will override the mbr wiping the ms bootloader. [06:43] mr_as_khan: uname -r [06:43] hello! keybourd layout not forwarding while installing ubuntu [06:44] shafiq: Sorry, what? [06:44] yes that's what I want to do [06:44] mr_as_khan, do you have any other installers open or did you interupt a install? [06:45] TheMoonMan, what? [06:45] uname -r [06:45] 2.6.32-33-generic [06:45] i selected usa for my keybourd layuot but it on running cursor but not forwarding [06:45] shafiq: Is English not your native language? "forwarding" makes no sense at all in your sentence. [06:45] no nit-wit [06:45] yup [06:45] shafiq: What is your native language? [06:45] hi sgafiq [06:46] hi [06:46] urdu [06:46] should I run Ubuntu in normal mode, safe graphic mode, acpi workarounds, verbose mode, or demo mode?

[06:46] hmmm nit-wit [06:46] how i kill this nit-wit [06:47] !ur | shafiq [06:47] shafiq: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [06:47] Huh [06:47] ...I thought we're using ISO codes for language-things [06:47] Anyone, what's the urdu channel? [06:47] theadmin: no, we use ISO codes for countries. [06:47] urdu is a language [06:47] mr_as_khan, if that is it let it finish I'm not familiar with killing it. Are you sure you didn't shutdown during a install or shut onw e down before finishing? [06:48] rww: Well, uhm, the 2-letter ISO code for Urdu is "ur"... [06:48] theadmin: "Urdu" is not a country. [06:48] Is there by chance a way to reset the whole ubuntu to default. before I say screw linux all together? [06:48] rww: Okay... gee, I dunno what's the factoid anyhow [06:48] ministerdude: Only a reinstall... [06:49] mr_as_khan, here are two commands that should fix it if broken and not a silent update sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:49] sudo apt-get -f install [06:49] I'd love to do that but now it won't even find my thunbdrive [06:49] theadmin: There isn't one. [06:49] can any one solve my problem [06:49] nit-wit and mr_as_khan, please use pastebins for pastes longer than one line, thank you [06:49] can someone give me an example of how to use pastebinit to paste text from a terminal? [06:49] theadmin, no problem. [06:49] ubuntu I'm sorry is worse than windows.

If I have 10 mp3's selected, and hit open.. it tries to open 10 copies of totem [06:51] ministerdude: what did you do to "fix" it so it doesn't recognize usb at all anymore? [06:51] ministerdude, this is troubleshooting channel not rants channel [06:51] i want those 10 mp3s into a playlist [06:51] bazhang: so it has to be with a command?

Not sure personnally then, maybe others can contribute [07:19] kyansaa, I have the exact same issue, ugly but not a threat as far as I know [07:19] when i run grub-update - i see it saying Found Ubuntu 10.04 on sda2, however, when i reboot, it does not allow me to choose my second system from the boot splash screen. Do i need to make custom entries into my grub, or should something like grub-update detect all my available systems automatically?

[07:28] raven, hey whats up? [07:28] nit-wit: tune-fs can be used to assign a new uuid to a partition thankfully [07:28] ... as long as the partition's one that can take one. [07:28] so now i have them all unique. Now i need to figure out how to make grub show my different os that are across 2 partitions [07:28] i.e. I don't think that applies to NTFS [07:28] overrider_, cool I wasn't thinking about the UID on the grub issue my bad. [07:29] UUId [07:29] overrider_, you know how to find the UUID right? [07:29] nit-wit: yes [07:30] hi i ran this http://paste.ubuntu.com/654962/ and got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/654962/ [07:30] overrider_, cool, sounds like you will have it fixed pronto. [07:30] whats funny is now is that it boots into sda2 instead of sda1, and not giving me a choice to boot into sda1 :-/ not sure if grub usually detects the different OS available automatic or whether i need to add them by hand into a grub.cfg file [07:31] overrider_, ou have to run a update-grub when you change stuff like you have, as of now sda1 has the boot persay.

[07:34] I can't even get unity to work [07:34] nit-wit, loading? [07:34] has anybody ever work with pptpsetup? [07:35] truepurple, " Making a start up disk on a usb flash" [07:35] nit-wit: i did, and it says correctly that it found a 10.04 installation on sda1 and sda2, but then doesnt add it to the list of choices one gets when the computer first starts. Do i need to manually add boot entries to the grub configuration, or should grub automatically pick available os installed into my different partitions? [07:35] nit-wit, start up disk creator in system > administration [07:36] overrider_, you could but I have to wonder why you want identical OS ? === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [07:36] overrider_, nit-wit: UUIDs are assigned to file systems, not to partitons, I think. [07:36] truepurple, try unetbootin, the usb creator is is pretty straight forward Ihave never had what you decsribe happen. [07:36] nit-wit, As per the instructions on the ubuntu webpage [07:37] nit-wit, but I want to use it like a live CD, and unetbootin does not seem to have a good partitioning software in it [07:37] vlt, run in a terminal suod blkid [07:37] sudo blkid [07:38] * vlt tries [07:38] truepurple, ethier app you would be best served to partition before using. [07:39] nit-wit, I used unetbootins partitioning software before, it doesn't even tell you whether a partition is primary or logical, more less actually let you choose [07:39] truepurple, mainly to clear the the thumb for a install to t. [07:39] nit-wit: basically i want to setup sda1 the way i want with all my customizations. then clone it to sda2. When i then for some reason bork the System on sda1, i can still boot into sda2 and maybe fix my sda1 system. [07:39] i want help in porting old sample driver with new ones ? i almost got most of the things ...now i am stuck with SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED replacement ... any1? [07:39] truepurple, it should be a fat anyway. [07:40] nit-wit, wipe it clean before trying to make my usb flash "live CD"? [07:40] truepurple, yes, the only time you would want a extended and a logical inside is for a full install where you need more than 4 primaries. [07:41] nit-wit, and I need more then 4 partitions [07:41] truepurple, do you want more thaen one ISO on there. [07:41] in where? [07:42] truepurple, on the moon where do you think? [07:42] your words dont make sense, you must be misunderstanding me somehow [07:42] nit-wit: There are UUIDs on mdraid members and luks devices too. So I assume UUIDs are part of the header of any "formatted" block device. Didn't know that. Thank you! [07:43] nit-wit, but if your going to be defensive, it will be hard to determine what you are misunderstanding [07:43] vlt, no problem with standard ext type it is this way [07:43] So has anyone figured out how to get CDs mount to /media/cdromX instead of by label in Natty since "Halsectomy"? I've come up with a hack for udev rules to do that, but I am pretty certain it isn't the cleanest way to do that. If anyone wants to check it out and give me some feedback I can run it by you in private. === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [07:43] truepurple, I expect you to think before asking, it will make it easier .

It remembers where i left off with my playlist, yay! thanks again.. good night :) [07:45] truepurple, you have two options there. live and persistent. please do the reading. unetbootin works perfectly fine. [07:46] Karen_m, glad you like it - gnight! :) [07:46] bazhang, you seem to know your stuff - any comments on what I've said earlier? [07:46] re: fixed mount points [07:46] truepurple, by inadequate you mean you want more than one iso on there? [07:47] drzero, sudo blkid and the like? seemed alright but I was not really following [07:47] bazhang, I need it to partition the HDD with logical partitions because I need more then 4 [07:47] bazang and I followed the instructions here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [07:47] truepurple, why would you need that: please be very clear. [07:48] bazhang, What difference does it make? [07:48] truepurple, you are adding some unknown factor t o a very simple operation [07:48] bazhang, not exactly - that I've seen in the forums and such but no one went as far as automating it - at least not that I could find [07:48] truepurple, say *exactly why you need 4 [07:48] I hate that feeling where when I ask for help trying to do something that I have to defend what I am trying to do [07:49] truepurple, then answer the question. simple. [07:49] bazhang, anyway, if I explained why I need more then 4 partitions on my HDD the conversation would change to that, and I want to keep it on topic [07:49] lol [07:49] drzero, sorry was not paying close attention [07:50] whoa can anyone help me understand some output i got deom a terminal? [07:50] bazhang, after digging around I came to realize that gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor only honors "ID_FS_LABEL_ENC" variable [07:51] stephenim, paste.ubuntu.com with it [07:51] from what I was able to find there is no way to configure it otherwise [07:51] so I just modified /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and placed it in etc [07:52] thanks man thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/654962/ [07:52] simply overriding "ID_FS_LABEL_ENC" for "sr*" [07:52] so this: #KERNEL=="sr*", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA}=="?*", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_SESSION_LAST_OFFSET}=="", IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p [07:52] -u noraid $tempnode" [07:53] almostroot, You are! [07:53] becomes: KERNEL=="sr*", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA}=="?*", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_SESSION_LAST_OFFSET}=="", ENV{ID_FS_LABEL_ENC}="cdrom%n", IMPORT{pr [07:53] ogram}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p -u noraid $tempnode" [07:53] apt-get autoremove < ---- stephenim use sudo apt-get autoremove yet? [07:53] the end result is that gnome will mount CDs to /media/cdromX of course [07:54] I think it's the cleanest way to do that for now - at least I wasn't able to figure out anything better and automatic [07:54] no not yet b ut what about the other stuff,i got major xruns and freeze up outta no where in jack,ardour,ect [07:55] for me personally it mostly helps with WINE - so I can have my CDs / images always in the same spot [07:55] !iso | drzero [07:55] stephenim, please try running it [07:55] drzero: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [07:56] auronandace, uhh... thanks... I use gCDemu [07:57] i am but it said another place is using some file [07:57] auronandace, hence no need to convert - it emulates SCSI HBA with CD/DVD devices attached and deals with CUE/BIN and other images besides ISO just fine [07:58] i did it [07:58] drzero: about the only thing it doesn't support is writing a virtual image... [07:58] Hello, I'm dual booting windows and ubuntu ... suddenly, when I rebooted into the system, I get grub error:unknown file system... can some one help me on this [07:58] actually, I don't know ANY software that emulates that. [07:58] drzero: sorry, i was specifivally thinking about the mounting part of that factiod [07:58] Viking667, I think that's in the works [07:59] drzero: heh... would be nice. [07:59] pravinkenator, do you have a live ubunrtu cd? [07:59] auronandace, no prob - I was just trying to see what people think of that udev rules hack [07:59] nit-wit: yes .. I have booted in a live cd and terminal is open [07:59] as I saw the question of 'fixed mount point' for CDs come up quite a few times in the forum [07:59] pravinkenator, is the cd the same as the ubuntu install? [07:59] yes [07:59] and no better solution that manually creating a mount point / fstab entry and mounting it [08:00] Viking667, I think that's in the works [08:00] nit-wit: tes [08:00] nit:wit:yes [08:00] pravinkenator, this link defaults to reloading grub to the mbr, use if you understand. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy%20LiveCD%20Files === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [08:01] pravinkenator, ask any questions if needed. [08:01] anyways - I guess what I did may be worth starting a new "HOWTO" thread - we'll see what kind of comments I get [08:02] drzero, they like a good help thread at the UF. ;) [08:02] please help me: /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch [08:04] any thoughts?

[08:06] drzero, let us know. ;) [08:06] nit-wit, heh - gimme 30 minutes or so :) I'll paste the URL here [08:06] pravinkenator, I was wondering though, is your ubuntu a wubi install? [08:07] nit-wit: what is a wubi install ? [08:07] that is unless my ADHD decides to take me on another wild side-trip [08:07] pravinkenator, installed from a live windows running. [08:07] nit-wit: No .. it is a clean install [08:08] pravinkenator, cool we have a great script to run to look closer if you have problems. ;) [08:10] nit-wit: when I do sudo fdisk -l, I get quite a lot of partitions, which one to mount..? [08:10] nit-wit: The one of type Linux or Extended ? [08:11] i ran cat/process/interupts and got stephen@ubuntu:/$ cat /proc/interrupts and got http://paste.ubuntu.com/654975/ [08:11] when I plug in my U3 usb device thunar just keeps opening windows of the u3 portion of the device. [08:11] pravinkenator, not sur I ubderstand? are you at the section it defaults to the first command is sudo fdisk -l to identify the Ubuntu partition [08:12] pravinkenator, next command mounts that partition the next installs to the mbr, probably sda [08:13] nit-wit: I finished, I got the message, "Installation finished, No error reported" [08:13] anyone willing to devote a little bit of time to helping me fix an issue I'm currently having with my Ubuntu UI? [08:13] drzero: how do i do auto update? [08:13] pravinkenator, your set probably reboot to ubuntu and run sudo update grub in the install. [08:14] sudo update-grub actually [08:14] nit-wit: Thanks a lot buddy ...! I got my ubuntu back ...! [08:14] pravinkenator, cool save that page. [08:14] Predatore: I probably cannot help you with that, but just ask. don't ask to ask. if someone knows the answer, you probably get one. and if no one replies, it probably means that no one here knows the answer. [08:14] ok hes not coming back i need help my jackd,ardour,hydrogen,guitarix and ratarak all froze [08:14] Which remote desktop technology (over LAN) is the most easy for the server cpu? [08:15] the reason people "ask to ask" is because many forum peoples get a power trip and then make other people feel stupid [08:15] Currently I boot up and log in, but after the log in screen I have no menu bar, no title bars on any windows to move them with, no shortcuts work, I cannot access terminal through hotkeys and I am at a loss as to what to do to fix this without "terminal" access... [08:16] please help me: /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch [08:16] is there a music channel that mau have people on ikt? [08:16] stephenh, that is a assumption. [08:16] The only way I can get anything to open is by working my way through the right click menu, which opens a web browser. [08:16] Predatore: you can switch to a terminal with CTRL + ALT + F1 .. or F2, F3, ... [08:16] i didnt say it was you [08:16] It doesn't work... [08:17] wanna help me [08:17] I somehow uninstalled the UI... [08:17] Shortcuts went with it... [08:17] I tried recovery, that didn't complete failed half way through the 3 hour ordeal. [08:18] I was about to suggest recovery. what exactly did you try there? [08:18] it did something all by itself. [08:18] Tried to download everything in the OS again I think... [08:18] stephenh, if I knew the answer I would but I don't that is how it works those that do will. ;) [08:19] Predatore: have you tried firing up a root shell in recovery, and then reinstall gnome and ubuntu desktop? [08:19] how exactly would I "Fire" up a root shell in recovery? [08:19] <--- Complete Newb :) [08:19] btw Compiz package did this. . . lol [08:19] took everything with it when I uninstalled it. [08:20] stephenim, sorry I posted to the wrong steph [08:20] Predatore: oh, I know this problem! [08:20] O.O [08:20] DO tell! :) [08:21] Predatore, what does your desktop looklike? [08:21] Predatore: it usually happened to me when I killed compiz without giving the standard window manager to take over. [08:21] ... I have the "background" and thats it... lol [08:21] unless I right click [08:21] Predatore, can you get a termonal [08:21] Than I can work my way through links and windows. [08:21] ophion2: have a very strong horizontal headache. [08:21] ionite, what do you mean "auto update"? [08:21] No, no shortcuts work to get to terminal; [08:22] Predatore: If you want a root shell, from the boot menu, select recovery mode, which is usually the second boot option. After you select recovery mode and wait for all the boot-up processes to finish, you'll be presented with a few options. In this case, you want the Drop to root shell prompt option so press the Down arrow to get to that option, and then press Enter to select it. [08:22] ionite, check your /msg [08:22] Predatore, your in unity? [08:22] /nod [08:22] Predatore: ctrl+alt+f1. login. export DISPLAY=:0.0 then run your xterm of choice [08:22] wols: that does not work for him. [08:22] photon: why not? [08:22] Shortcuts, broken. [08:23] wols: the CTRL thingy is broken. [08:23] Something about the program that picked them up is, not working, disabled, uninstalled. [08:23] hi [08:23] erm, ctrl+alt+f1 is a kernel thing [08:23] are you talkinga bout control alt f1 in the actual OS or in the grub menu [08:24] no, in the OS [08:24] yeah... i tried it. Didn't work. [08:24] how can I disable the security-update during netinstall - or at least let it using the local mirror? downloading 10 times the updates via edge isn't right funny... [08:24] I propose that they change the way that the shortcuts are handled as to prevent this from blocking them. Whatever "This" is. [08:24] DarkSin / #atl_revenge / AR|Varie|006 [08:24] Predatore: here. Ctl-alt-Printscreen, then hit R [08:24] THEN you'll possibly be able to go ctl-alt-f1 [08:25] lol I'll give the above a try. Be back in a jiffy. [08:25] that presupposes that the SysRQ has been compiled into the kernel === mang0 is now known as mang0|OUT [08:32] I have P4 2.0 256 RAM..considering to install ubuntu on it.. any suggestion? just for browsing and a little of word processing [08:32] hello, i have ubuntu 11.04 on a T410 lenovo laptop. I used to be able adjust the screen brightness using the Fn+end and Fn+Home buttons, but after installing some updates recdommended by the package manager these buttons no longer have any effect and the screen appears very dark. How can i solve this? [08:32] rhineheart_m: lubuntu or at most xubuntu [08:32] rhineheart_m: P4 is fine, but 256MB RAM is awful [08:33] banshee got problems. it keeps repeating itself like a broken record when my system is busy. what heppend? [08:34] wheeeeee. I'm finally here under my own steam. [08:35] so this is not a good hardware for this specs right? I'm just actually considering deploying ubuntu in our laboratory for student's use..in this way..they would be oriented with FOSS [08:35] Hello, can anyone tell me as how to play a sound, since it's not mute, sound card is also showing, power is also on to speakers, but whenever i play music it does'nt play anything? [08:36] banshee got problems. it keeps repeating itself like a broken record when my system is busy. what heppend? [08:36] ho to add a fplder suppose from my d drive to unity [08:36] I'm baaaack [08:36] predatore: so, did my suggestion help [08:36] I can yes, access terminal through the ctrl alt and f1-5 keys. [08:37] So. Now the question remains. [08:37] Now that I have terminal Acess how do I get my Window Manager installed and running again? [08:37] I liked unity. [08:37] .... I'd like it back, lol [08:37] rhineheart_m, can you get a little more ram, there are small doistros that will work. [08:37] I gave up on Unity... still, I tried it for nearly a month [08:37] What do you suggest? [08:37] unity rocks [08:37] is 512 enough? [08:37] rhineheart_m, work as is that is. [08:38] rhineheart_m: that's a bare minimum. Frankly I'd be going for 1Gb minimum [08:38] The wife's machine is P4 hyperthreaded, and has 1Gb. [08:38] rhineheart_m, right now ubuntu suggests a gig for ease of use would run on 512 thiugh a little slower [08:38] is there a site that's selling old (DDR) which are still working but cheap? [08:39] ugh. DDR isn't cheap. Never was, has only got worse [08:39] Gnome 3.0? [08:39] Whatever, I just want a UI again :P [08:39] rhineheart_m, is the lab for computer stuff or general use. [08:39] how to add a folder suppose unity [08:39] how to add a folder to unity [08:40] newbee, right click add folder? [08:40] not hapening that way [08:40] I would like to stop a process so that I may update certain files then restart same again, how do I stop it within a script? [08:40] I would prefer to 'end' the process rather than kill it [08:40] newbee, where are you adding it to [08:41] how do i run EXE files with WINE? [08:41] i wan a folder to show in unity so tat i can open it from there [08:41] ionite: wine somefile.exe [08:41] internet use only.. there's a separate lab for typing.. etc,.. [08:41] newbee, do you mean the left panel? [08:42] yes [08:42] ionite: but, you'll probably want to put together a directory to stash stuff in [08:42] left panel [08:42] newbee, okay help should be here, adding a folder itself I'm not sure. [08:42] newbee, thats an icon you want? [08:42] newbee, start the application, then click and keep in panel [08:43] i want a folder to show up in left panel [08:43] no folder dont show in panel the show in home filder...they dont show saperately like apps [08:43] newbee, a folder of what [08:44] hello [08:44] ionite [08:44] you need help [08:45] in a drive i ahve folder with my stuffs inside....so to open it i hve to go in that drive then locate the folder then open it .....so to make it easy i want it to sgow in unity left panel [08:45] kingspider: ? Yes i need plenty of help!! [08:45] kingspider, tab their name it will notify you're talking to them [08:45] ionite: have you ever run winecfg? [08:45] Viking667: my wine says the file is not marked executable [08:45] Viking667: my first time [08:45] ionite: interesting. [08:46] Viking667: but it's an exe file [08:46] ionite: this isn't Windows. [08:46] I'll take this private [08:46] chmod +x .exe [08:46] ? [08:46] K-Rich: that's not quite right either, but cluse [08:47] why doesnt this command work? [08:47] fgrep -r "is_active" ".*py" [08:47] hi, how can I switch off the firewall? [08:47] pr0ton: how doesn't it work? [08:48] it doesnt match any python files [08:48] .py [08:48] basiclaly i want to search all files that have a py extension [08:48] recursively [08:48] find . -name "*.py" [08:48] and expand on that. [08:48] search inside these files [08:49] i dont want to use piping [08:49] anyone know anything about jack and ardour http://paste.ubuntu.com/654962/ [08:49] there is no way to make fgrep work? [08:49] i.e. find . -name "*.py" -exec grep -n "yourpattern" {} /dev/null \; [08:49] Viking667, i dont think that tells me which files i'm using [08:49] i can do * in fgrep [08:49] and it matches everything [08:49] pr0ton: sigh. that's what the -n is for on the grep line. [08:50] grep will return all files having "yourpattern" in, like this: search.1:45: yourpattern [08:50] in a drive i have folder with my stuffs inside....so to open it i hve to go in that drive then locate the folder then open it .....so to make it easy i want it to sgow in unity left panel [08:50] Hey, my whole network connection got spooked somehow. (Ethernet isn't starting, WiFi does see networks but wont connect.) How can I reinstall the networking, so everyhing is fresh? [08:52] pr0ton: You can also define the type of files grepped for in grep itself, with the --include=*.py option, but yeah, -n will tell you on which line in which file. [08:52] small problem [08:52] fgrep colors it for me, which is better i guess [08:52] like file name is colored [08:52] and then the search term is also colored [08:53] sigh. [08:53] now you're after something separate. [08:53] Hello, I have a problem with an application. I installed it yesterday, and I can't set this application's sound volume. If I mute the master channel, but the program still bawl. What can I do? [08:53] pr0ton: Plain grep does it for me as well. No idea if it doesn't work for you. [08:54] currently i use this [08:54] fgrep -r "pattern" * [08:54] which searches all text files, and is short and works well [08:54] this sucks [08:54] afternoon [08:54] i dont understand why, fgrep -r "pattern" *.py doesnt work [08:55] why cant LibreOffice edit .docx files? [08:55] Layya: if you check the mixer there should be sliders for items such as pcm, speaker, etc. You might try lowering one of those settings [08:55] pr0ton: The -r option wants that you give it a location from which it starts grepping recursively. [08:55] http://fun-with-bicepjai.blogspot.com/2011/07/make-scull-driver-successfully-with.html [08:55] nevermind [08:56] Hello I was wondering if there is a central source/repo/etc of RFC documents? [08:56] lol. === phosphor is now known as veislakt [08:56] astraljava: thank you. [08:56] Viking667: Sure, but what did I do? [08:57] hola, has anybody had problems with the recent updates for Natty Narwhal? [08:57] astraljava, what? -R, -r, --recursive [08:57] Read all files under each directory, recursively; this is equivalent to the -d recurse option. [08:57] Or, where do most of you find rfc documents? [08:57] Hello guys.. Please I need serious help. Thanks in advance. I'm trying to solve my hibernate issue, been googling for about 2 days now and came across this but it's a tutorial for hardy not natty (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=850755). I use natty and I'm trying to relate it to my own so I can solve my hibernate and stop losing my data. Please can anyone tell me which file represents menu.lst file in natty? [08:57] pr0ton: uhm, works for me. What're you doing wrong? [08:57] I'm at a loss. I tried reinstalling compiz to get it back but it keeps on telling me to type the -f with sudo apt and I'm not sure what that means. Still no window manager. How do I reinstall the default 11.04 window manager? [08:57] Viking667, *py works? [08:57] FernandoTertiary: No. If you have a problem, just tell us, and we'll then see whether something can be done about it. [08:57] I'll have a look. [08:57] hermes102-: http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html [08:58] but I suspect what you're trying to do is all .py files in any dir and subdir [08:58] astraljava: the recent update has reverted the desktop environment [08:58] pr0ton: If you don't use -r, you can use the '*' wildcard. But with -r, you must give a directory, like '.' [08:58] th0r: I tried all of them. I have amd64 and I installed the program as 32bit. But I am not able to set the volume. Is there any another sound mixer?I use Kmix- [08:58] deem: tyvm [08:58] predatore, in the terminal run metacity --replace then open compiz and set it to default then run compiz --replace [08:58] pr0ton: ahhh. You're getting "No such file or directory", right? [08:58] astraljava, can you show me a sample command? [08:58] FernandoTertiary: What does reverting the desktop mean? [08:58] I'll try that now thanks. [08:58] Viking667, i have py files in the dir i'm running this from too [08:59] I get an error. "Unable to open X-Display" [08:59] pr0ton: grep -inr --include=*.py NC_LANG_CHINESE . [08:59] pr0ton: we showed you one. [08:59] weird. [08:59] astraljava: the desktop environment appears to be classic au lieu the unity [08:59] pr0ton: hm? [08:59] astraljava, ok, so this thing also works [08:59] hey all [08:59] fgrep -r "is_active" . *py [09:00] Layya: each wm has its own mixer handler. I use xfce which has xfce4-mixer...and you can also install the old standby alsamixer, which is accessible from the terminal [09:00] predatore, you have been messing with it, have you tried the classic desktop try thise commands there. [09:00] Hello guys.. Please I need serious help. Thanks in advance. I'm trying to solve my hibernate issue, been googling for about 2 days now and came across this but it's a tutorial for hardy not natty (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=850755). I use natty and I'm trying to relate it to my own so I can solve my hibernate and stop losing my data. Please can anyone tell me which file represents menu.lst file in natty? [09:00] FernandoTertiary: When you are at the login prompt, check which session you're logging into. I forget what it is for Unity, but it should tell pretty nicely. You're probably having Ubuntu Classic as the default now, for some reason. [09:00] astraljava: gracias, shall relog [09:01] pr0ton: No, because fgrep is just an alias for grep -F, so it too needs to have --include=*.py, if you're using the -r switch. [09:01] pr0ton: for what you want, my find command works well. [09:01] Please help [09:01] wh1zz0, you have a equal amount of swap to your ram ? [09:01] Nit-wit: What commands? [09:01] hey Deem, if i view RFC 1 on this site, are there likely to be multiple and differing RFC 1's if I find them elsewhere? [09:01] pr0ton: Yes, that find command will work very well too. [09:01] nit-wit: I suppose I do.. How do I check? [09:01] predatore, look back I gave you two. ;) and some instructions. [09:02] hermes102-: there is no different RFC1. The official RFC is the official one. :D [09:02] Thank you [09:02] sweet thanks again [09:02] wh1zz0, I check with gparted . [09:02] hermes102-: any other RFC whos telling something different is wrong [09:02] gparted? [09:02] bah. [09:02] sorry, fell off. [09:03] Okie i'll install now and check [09:03] pr0ton: what's got you set against using find? (aside from the fact it's two processes) [09:03] Viking667: Didn't miss a thing, I suppose. I have joins/parts hidden, so not entirely sure, of course. [09:03] wh1zz0, it is a partitioner you may need to install it otherwise it is in the prefrences or admin I forget. [09:03] does anyone know if there's a way to run a script from within nautilus, rather than having to open a terminal and run ./start-tor-browser etc each time? [09:04] dusf, you just want to start tor [09:04] dusf: hm? [09:04] nit-wit: Yeah.. I did sudo apt-get install gparted and it's installing [09:04] nit-wit: huh? What are you smoking? I'll leave it off my list [09:04] dusf: you should be able to just double click on the script I believe [09:04] nit-wit: So how do I use it? [09:04] Viking667, i have to type more [09:04] I just type gparted? [09:05] gparted are in the ubuntu live cd too [09:05] nit-wit: Viking667: it's the portable version of torbundle, but i'm just using it locally so i can use my regular firefox as normal on my direct connection, and use torbundle (basically tor, vidalia, and ff) along side it [09:05] pr0ton: awww, gee. I'm heartbroken. [09:05] wh1zz0, cool just open it and look at the swap it has to be equal to the ram for hibernate to work. [09:05] th0r: I've installed the alsamixer, if i start that app I see 1 line for the pcm and 1 line for the "beep" (and the 2 input line.mic.) nothing else. does another application handle the application of 32bit? [09:05] pr0ton: dude. I spend my whole DAY at the flaming commandline. [09:05] dusf: if you need to see results in a terminal, the script should read 'terminal -e command' to open a terminal [09:05] Viking667, you can spend less of a day if you typed less :P [09:06] Layya: not that I know of. You might have a fancy sound card that is controlled some other way...there should be more controls in alsamixer than that [09:06] dusf, make a launcher where you want the startbutton, desktop panel etc and point t to the start in tor by hitting the browse at the command line in the launcher [09:06] *it [09:06] pr0ton: ahh, but then I wouldn't get half of what I want done. [09:06] th0r: all right, thank you for everything [09:07] pr0ton: after all. You try typing a document without using a keyboard. It can be done, but it's a pain in the bum. [09:07] dusf, you can make a launcher in home and in the left panel right click it to stay there, when you have it launched [09:07] nit-wit: http://imagebin.org/165641 [09:07] That's what I get [09:07] th0r: doubleclicking does nothing, but right clicking and selecting open asks me if i want to display the contents or run it. running it works, but i'd like it to open smoother than this if possible [09:07] and no, I'm not mouse-phobic. Not in the least. [09:08] dusf: you can create a menu entry for it....a .desktop file [09:08] nit-wit: i am using xfce [09:08] brb [09:08] wh1zz0, how much ram do you have [09:08] 2gig ram [09:09] dusf: if you are using xfce, you could create a launcher in the panel for it [09:09] wh1zz0, you have enough swap. Haven't you noticed that starting from hibernate takes as long to bot? [09:09] *boot [09:10] My problem is that my machine never hibernates [09:10] And I set it to in power management [09:10] But it never does do [09:10] It never does so.. It never hibernates [09:11] If I click on the hibernate, it just suspends and led lights keep flashing and I am unable to resume [09:11] wh1zz0, right but it takes just as long to return to a desktop as a boot does, so do you need it, otherwise that is the limit of my knowledge, I never use hibernate. [09:11] I end up losing all data [09:11] :( [09:11] wh1zz0, does it sleep [09:11] It doesn't even sleep === jo-erlend_ is now known as jo-erlend [09:12] wh1zz0, have you tried the Ubutu Forums? [09:12] And I am scared that if this continues this way it won't be too long before my machine crashes [09:12] *ubuntu [09:12] WTF Keep on getting this "Items cannot be installed or removed until the package calalog is repaired. Do you want to repair it now? -- Than it fails half way through. [09:13] Yes.. I found a soulution but it seems the tutorial is for hardy because when I tried to use it on my natty I got Gtk error.. [09:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=850755 [09:13] wh1zz0, let me ask ths do you ever backup or image your OS? [09:13] I've never done that [09:14] predatore: Could you pastebin `sudo apt-get update`, please? [09:14] In the turotial the guys says we should edit the menu.lst file in /boot/grub but there's no such file in natty [09:15] What is pastebin sudo apt-get update [09:15] You mean do the command and than copy paste results here? === exoa is now known as ex0a [09:15] <- Nub just incase you were curious. [09:15] wh1zz0, that link is referencing a grub you don't have, start a thread, and install grsync for a easy backup oh yout home, and consider imaging it with clonezilla in case it does break while trying to figure it out. [09:15] . [09:16] nvm lol figured it out sec [09:17] predatore: Write this command in a terminal: `sudo apt-get update | pastebinit`, it should give you a link, copy and paste _that_ link here, please. [09:17] ok [09:18] Astraljava: Pastebinit not installed. [09:18] predatore: you might try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1647741 [09:19] wh1zz0: You can find GRUB2 editing instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring GRUB 2 [09:21] predatore: Then you can just copy&paste the output in paste.ubuntu.com, and give us the link to the entry. You can try the instructions give in th0r's link first, though. [09:22] lol astra I can't access terminal through the window manager have to use alt+ctrl+F1 [09:22] mornin' [09:23] predatore, you could install lxde from the command line in recovery, and have a desktop so you can start fixing. [09:23] predatore: Oh okay. Well, can you write just the line that on which the error appears? But yeah, please do try the instructions given in the link above. [09:23] nit-wit: Unlikely, as the package manager database is broken. [09:24] astraljava, I missed that part, ;) [09:24] nit-wit: Thought as much. :) [09:24] Uh, let me think what command was I doing again? Start Xserver something? [09:24] astraljava, I suspected that as I typed. [09:25] predatore: startx? [09:25] predatore: I thought you were trying to install something, as you pasted "Items cannot be installed or removed until package manager catalog is fixed" or something. [09:25] apt-get clean fixed that error. [09:26] predatore: Good. [09:26] yay [09:26] But that was another error I got by trying to figure out why Xserver something rather wont start. [09:27] sec [09:28] predatore: If package manager now works, please install pastebinit, so that you can paste stuff from the console. [09:28] Upon exicuting 'metacity --replace' I get "Window Manager Error: Unable to open X-Display" [09:29] predatore: Are you using Unity or GNOME Classic? [09:29] Right now? Nothing? [09:30] I had unity. [09:30] I can now move windows though. So now I just need to figure out how to install Unity again. [09:31] predatore: So you uninstalled it at some point? Maybe try `sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop` [09:31] Ok [09:32] anyone knows any program which can create a .csv files from my phone contacts? [09:33] hello, i just installed skype on ubuntu, and i heard it can become a supernode, how do i prevent it from becoming a supernode? [09:33] milen8204: your phone should ~ or at least a vcard file [09:33] Should I restart now? [09:34] that exicuted just fine. [09:34] SP* late night [09:34] milen8204: I'm not sure, it's been a while since I used it last, but see `apt-cache show wammu` [09:35] wildbat, thanks [09:35] SuperDuper: Does http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-be-or-not-to-be-skype-supernode.html help?

For some reason when I drag on the title bar they dont move -.-' [09:39] predatore_, there is a window drag in compiz [09:39] I have to configure it? [09:39] predatore_, just turn it on I forget the actual name take a look in that section [09:40] astraljava: obviously no since i use ubuntu [09:40] anyone know where can i find london channel on mirc please PM me [09:41] 都是些什么人呀？ [09:41] !cn [09:41] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [09:42] Thats odd, How do I find those options? [09:42] cannot find it in control center [09:42] It might not be installed or something =\ [09:43] Nevermind [09:43] SuperDuper: Sorry, I did have ubuntu as a search term. Apparently not as straight-forward in ubuntu. You can experiment with firewall, then, I suppose. [09:43] I've come to the conclusion that I do not like Unity. Its hiding things from me. [09:43] I'm trying to find the best way to partition my external hard drive for xubuntu, stuff like getting the proper MBR, ext4/3/2 main xubuntu partition, separate /home, swap partition, a FAT32 dump for transfer to windows, stuff like that. And in what order to do it in. I wanna end up with an external hard drive that I can boot into directly from bios (to grub2 or equivalent), even if there's no internal hard drive connected. Any suggestions? [09:43] astraljava: i dont have knowledge about firewalls >.< but it seems that the ubuntu version is lagging behind the windows one, so ill keep windows for skype then [09:43] predatore_: In the login prompt, choose Ubuntu Classic. [09:44] predatore_, it's a conspiracy. ;) [09:44] veislakt_: use gparted [09:44] This login prompt you speak of... I have not. [09:44] Windows firewall ahead of a linux/unix firewall? Whoa...far out that... [09:44] veislakt_: and to boot from USB hdd, your motherboard has to support that [09:44] I'm using gparted, I'm talking specifics in how to build the drive, which partitions where.. [09:45] bios supports boot from usb [09:45] predatore_: When you boot up the machine, it's the one that asks you for your user(name), and wants a password for that. In the bottom of that screen, you have a session selection, try Ubuntu Classic from there. [09:45] yes [09:45] I'll look next time Im' there. [09:45] Thanks astral [09:45] veislakt_, if it is not to old yes, but there is a usb boot app incase not [09:45] predatore_: Sure, no prob. [09:45] guys, my acer won't boot ubuntu from usb flash disc, there's just a black screen with cursor. I was given a hint to hold shift while booting to set a nomodeset param, but i cannot even get there. any ideas please? [09:46] veislakt_: well dont you have the plan for the partitions already? root, swap, home, storage [09:46] veislakt_: and that i prefer NTFS to share stuff with windows over fat32, considering the limits of FAT32 file system [09:46] Yeah, pretty much, just wanted to see what suggestions people like before I knuckle down and get to partioninining.. [09:46] veislakt_: ntfs-3g driver for NTFS is pretty decent [09:47] veislakt_: 32GB root, 200MB swap (or 100% of ram if you need to use hibernation), and the rest for /home and storage as your preference [09:48] 200mb swap? WTF? [09:48] veislakt_: for me, my /home is only like 10GB, and create links to other folders in the large NTFS Storage [09:48] Yeah, that sounds like the good way to go about it. [09:48] YankDownUnder: if you find yourself using 200MB swap, it is time to add ram [09:48] hibernation? [09:48] icarus-c: why use swap in the first place then? [09:49] !hibernation [09:49] icarus-c, Um...exactly how well do you understand linux and or unix? [09:49] veislakt_: suspend to disk [09:49] wols: swap helps avoid memory fragmentation [09:49] Yeah, i was saying, use for a swap partition [09:49] icarus-c: huh? [09:49] Ahahaha classic > ALL [09:50] how many people === ttl_ is now known as ttl- [09:50] icarus-c: memory fragments? under a linux VMM? it doesn't matter where my 4k pages are on the physical silicon you know... [09:50] wols: think of it like file fragmentation, linux would love to page stuff back&forth to swap to reduce memory fragmentation [09:50] how do completly remove skype from ubuntu?? [09:50] no it's NOT like memory fragmentation [09:51] erm, like file fragmentation of course [09:51] thanks icarus-c, think I've got my setup. Time to set gparted to work and take a walk. :P [09:51] * YankDownUnder thinks that some folks in here need some further education before they give out advise [09:52] Back up and running! Thank you so much #ubuntu :) [09:52] icarus-c: it doesn't matter where ony my RAM chip my memory is. everything is accessed equally fast. on a disk however it matters if a file's sector is on number 1 and the other on 145743663 cause the head has to move and that needs time [09:52] icarus-c: in memory, this does not happen. all is equally far away [09:52] I dont know about you wols but I've seen a hard drive header move... They are not slow in the leastbit. [09:52] wols: it's not like file fragmentation in that sense.. but you know when you allocate a block of memory, it has to be contingous [09:53] YankDownUnder, have you adjusted the swappiness? [09:53] nit-wit, Per each machine I deal with, yes I do. [09:53] icarus-c: no it has not to be. when you allocate memory it's virtual. has NOTHING to do with actual memory layout on the chips [09:53] cool [09:53] wols: memory fragmentation is when you have only small chunks of blocks available, in that case you cant allocate 10MB even you have 100MB of fragmented memory [09:54] icarus-c: if I allocate 16kB via malloc, each of the 4k pages can come from all over, without any performance penalty at all (provided nothing uses PAE...) [09:54] wols: the problem is about linux itself here [09:54] yoh gentlemen this is not the argument channel [09:54] but well [09:54] This is sillier than listening to the drunks at the pub. Dang...time to eat and get back to making money instead of listening to this drivel. [09:54] icarus-c: you are wrong. memory is ALWAYS allocated in 4k chunks. nothing more, nothng less. you think about C heaps which don't matter at all here [09:54] !ot [09:54] #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! [09:55] #ubuntu-offtopic please [09:55] wols, icarus-c lets move on please [09:56] veislakt_: forgot to note, mind the order of those partitions, make it possible for you to resize easily in future === root is now known as Guest69784 [09:59] I am, but thanks. they'll go: 1ext4 boot+install+os 2swap 3/home 4ntfs share 5leftovers space [10:00] veislakt_, that maxes out the partition types allowedI would put it all in a extended [10:00] hi. sometimes ubuntu apps crash. i want to kill them but don't know how to reference them from a shell [10:01] i'm thinking of doing the last ntfs extended, won't that work as well? [10:01] makara: xkill [10:01] i've been informed that I need the PID for the app [10:02] veislakt_, the advantage of the extended is a unlimited amount of logical partitions, except for booting a MS if needed in a primary [10:02] wildbat, great stuff [10:02] hey guys. I'm looking for a network diagram tool. Been looking at both Draw and Inkscape, but none of them have 'sticky' connections and other essential tools for creating network diagrams. Any suggestions are welcome. [10:02] makara: ps or top show PIDs. but you don't need a PID when you use killall: "killall " [10:02] nit-wit, yeah, but it doesn't have to start as extended from the first partition, does it? [10:03] !info dia | albech [10:03] albech: dia (source: dia): Diagram editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.97.1-7build1 (natty), package size 184 kB, installed size 580 kB [10:03] uhmf cannot save the os date. [10:03] veislakt_, no you can do it anywhere and have 3 more primaries. [10:03] albech, hmm.. I mentioned that earlier I think [10:03] gliffy [10:03] albech: Should you try Dia? [10:03] albech: I'm not too sure but dia but have what you're looking for. [10:03] nit-wit, right, what i thought, thanks.

[10:10] And Unity won't start because "I don't have the required hardware" [10:10] Should I be using 173?

[10:55] nit-wit: sdb contains sdb1, sdb2,sdb5 where 1 is an 83(ext4?) 2 is a 5 and sdb5 is 82(ext3?) [10:55] unless your brother needs help with his phone for his ubuntu computer, then it is not an #ubuntu issue. [10:56] aGamingDaddy, so sdb5 is the partition where linux is installed, this is very important . [10:56] zendeavor: find / -name bitlbee |grep bin [10:56] zendeavor: I think the binary is nammed "bitlbee", adjust if it's not [10:57] nit-wit: sdb5 starts at 3729 ends at 3895 and uses 1333248 blocks [10:58] aGamingDaddy, here lets try this open gparted, in the top right corner is a dropdown click on the usb and take a screen shot and imagebin it, we are getting no where.

[11:00] I use lsusb (usbutils) 0.87, udevd version 167 on *both* laptop.

[11:30] wols, ok i got it working, the problem was i was using the IFACE alias, but for some reason it's only set after the device is already up [11:31] aGamingDaddy, I don't know how the pinging woeks, and would rather not get the information that way can you just post the imagebin [11:31] lo all, im trying to install vim on ubuntu 9.04 but get message "package vim has no installation candidate" i know im using an old ubuntu, im trying to work through the older versions so dont want to upgrade [11:31] nit-wit : I'm new to irc... How do i send the picture [11:32] why can't i login via ssh? [11:32] aGamingDaddy, http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [11:32] aGamingDaddy, post the link. [11:32] wols installing samba4 to see if it fixes it [11:32] !vim | bobbingham [11:32] bobbingham: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [11:33] yup thanks but i want vim, not one of the others [11:33] vim..never saw it [11:34] gedit isnt enought? [11:34] aGamingDaddy, I'm on a MS set up now you were turned away by my security. [11:34] bobbingham:did you spell correct package name? [11:34] gedit is too heavy! [11:34] nano all the way! [11:34] lol [11:34] bobbingham: apt-cache search -n vim [11:34] I like vim, and im interested in the principle of how to solve this problem [11:34] How do i use a .pem keyfile in a scp copy? [11:34] nano is a bit Basic-like [11:34] vim/emacs are more than just a text editor [11:34] lotuspsychje: provided the other computer has truecrypt installed: yes [11:35] ,, [11:35] Emacs in particular is wtf-balls expansive [11:35] icarus-c: are they nice to destroy encoding files?:P [11:35] nit-wit: I've sent/posted the picture. Take your time [11:35] I'm at "gettibg the time from a network time server" i'm not connected on that box, is it save to hit "skip"? [11:35] finds vim common and vim-tiny but if you type vim in command line it sys the package vim should exist [11:35] aGamingDaddy, where? [11:35] rabe_: yes [11:35] obert: dont get what you mean [11:35] nit-wit: http://imagebin.org/165664 [11:36] hmm vim common already installed [11:36] aGamingDaddy, cool hold on [11:36] icarus-c: :) those dreamveaver-like tools are a bit weird imho;) [11:36] what is a swap? [11:37] obert: both vim/emacs are pretty good "IDE" for coding [11:37] obert: for all sort of languages [11:37] icarus-c: never tried them;) [11:37] How do I inactivate a service from starting at boot in ubuntu 10.04? (I've tried update-rc.d purge and update-rc.d off ) [11:37] ersi: ubuntu uses upstart. What service? [11:37] rabe_: is a part of memory [11:37] !upstart > ersi [11:37] ersi, please see my private message [11:37] rabe_: Swap is "virtual memory" that is on your disk instead of your physical RAM [11:38] oh, like a cache partition [11:38] jrib: Well, apache2 and mysqld. But I'll checkout upstart.ubuntu.com [11:38] eristikophiles: not quite. virtual memory includes RAM and swap [11:38] wols: but can any other user access the folder without permission? [11:38] so no ideas what the "package vim has no installation candidate" message means? [11:38] aGamingDaddy, so you have the thumb unmouted with disk utility [11:38] lotuspsychje: it's encrypted, duh! [11:38] eristikophiles: dont let microsoft fool you [11:38] wols any other ideas mate? [11:38] nit-wit:?? [11:39] ersi: you need to edit the corresponding scripts in /etc/init/ and add "never" as a starting condition (/etc/init was /etc/event at one time) [11:39] someone has expierence with broken audio on lucid? [11:39] nit-wit sounds like nit-wit's knights :) [11:39] aGamingDaddy, in the terminal run this command sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [11:39] jrib: What? Really? [11:39] on a film, only the effects are hearable. the talk through people only provides some bass [11:39] hi ther [11:39] liquid-silence: no, sorry since it doesn't tell us which argument [11:39] hi there [11:39] aGamingDaddy, let me know when you have done that [11:40] TuxBrother, not much for me,, however,, when you open alsamixer from a terminal,, in the upper left corner is your card recognized? [11:40] i'm through with the insall many thanks [11:40] ersi: umm, yes? [11:40] yes, it is [11:40] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt aGamingDaddy [11:40] jrib: I'm just suprised and disapointed. But thanks for your information [11:40] nit-wit: computer is busy... [11:40] ersi: this assumes that the jobs are actually upstart jobs. If they aren't, what you did would have worked though [11:40] wols so what other options do I have [11:40] afp? [11:41] it has nothing to do with hardware, I guess wrong equalizers [11:41] hi all ^ ^ [11:41] but I don't have them installed [11:41] nit-wit it's 32Gb [11:41] TuxBrother, check your center channel speaker connection [11:41] ersi: why disappointed? [11:41] i hope that i dont have to expect spanish inquisition using gedit [11:41] jrib: I thought upstart would somehow be a step forward [11:42] I observe thi error " swapon failed: Device or resource busy [11:42] " someone can help me to mount this partiono of my computer.. I have try mountall but dosen't work [11:42] jrib: I'd at least expect a 'disable' parameter or tool [11:42] aGamingDaddy, okay we are out in space here, from the booted cd in the terminal can you run 2 commands to reload the mbr of the thumb [11:42] !who [11:42] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [11:43] jrib: Hm, /etc/init.d/mysql is just symlinked to some generic upstart script [11:43] ersi: I think they are working on some nicer way to disable services. In any case, I see that on my box apache is not using an upstart-style init script. Maybe your update-rc.d syntax is incorrect. I suggest just using sysv-rc-conf instead of update-rc.d [11:43] nit-wit: ok how? [11:43] no avail. on Windows it just 'works' [11:43] aGamingDaddy, open a terminal. [11:44] wols I am out of ideas aswell [11:44] jrib: apache2 isn't, but mysql is unfortunally [11:44] nit-wit: shall I kill/close the other termial because it's still doing something [11:44] " someone can help me to mount this partiono of my computer.. I have try mountall but dosen't work [11:44] do you know if there's an ubuntu tool like this? http://download.cnet.com/Quick-HTML-Color-Picker/3000-2192_4-10400979.html [11:44] Morning, guys [11:44] aGamingDaddy, what is running on a live cd terminal [11:44] mornin' [11:44] ersi: that's fine, just do what I said or read the script as sometimes it checks a file to see if it should start (usually in /etc/default/) [11:45] obert: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+color+picker [11:45] nit-wit the mount command... [11:45] wols: indeed [11:45] jrib: Hm? apache2 got a file there, mysql doesn't :o [11:45] ersi: "there"? [11:45] aGamingDaddy, so what I think you mean is that ran the first command I posted did you run this [11:45] jrib: "/etc/default" [11:45] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [11:46] ersi: yes, I'm not saying mysql does, I'm just saying you should read the init script to see if it doesn't offer some other way of disabling it :D [11:46] jrib: Ah, gotcha :-/ [11:46] nit-wit I ran sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [11:47] ersi: but I don't see any such thing so just add "and never" to the "start on" clause (or you can edit the runlevels I guess [11:47] This did not make my day, nor make upstart any shiny in my eyes. Feels very uncomplete and not thought trough [11:48] aGamingDaddy, is it done running leave the terminal open [11:48] jrib: I'm not quite getting where I'd add "and never" [11:49] nit-wit: Ok., I'll leave it open and I open a second terminal [11:49] aGamingDaddy, NONONONO [11:49] ersi: you see "(net-device-up\nand local-filesystems\nand runlevel [2345])"? Add an "and never" inside the parentheses [11:49] anyone uses that ubunut one cloude stuff? [11:49] "stuff" [11:50] jrib: Where? [11:50] nit-wit: It's still running or busy [11:50] Benkinooby: ask your real question [11:50] ersi: starts on line 6 [11:50] thanks!!! [11:50] aGamingDaddy, you only have to run two commands they run in like 2 seconds whats going on with the first? [11:50] jrib: at file? [11:51] anyone expierence with correct logitech keymappings? [11:51] ersi: /etc/init/mysql.conf [11:51] jrib: Oh [11:51] ersi: also I'm reading that there's a nicer way to disable services in upstart, but not in 10.04 [11:51] aGamingDaddy, something is not right here, close that terminal [11:51] nit-wit: if you mean sudo mount /dev....... It's still running [11:51] yes [11:52] oCean, i am instereseted in your experience with it. i looked up the cons and pros but i am not sure how to "wage" them. i was wondering fi some coudl tell me "i tried it, but it's slow, and e.g. dropbox is better" or if someone says "yeah, it's nice" so, i am interested in user experience [11:52] nit-wit: What to next [11:52] ersi: you can read about it here: http://upstart.at/2011/03/11/override-files-in-ubuntu-natty/ (note this isn't available in 10.04) [11:52] jrib: Thanks, I've added that condition to the startup loop now :) [11:52] aGamingDaddy, open disk manager look at the usb and make sure it is unmounted, or even showing. [11:53] disk utility sorry aGamingDaddy [11:54] jrib: I just fixed apache2 as well, I had used the wrong syntax.. but it responded so nicely I thought I had done it [11:54] aGamingDaddy, are you multitasking? [11:54] Benkinooby: I have no personal experience, just pointing out the fact that questions starting with "anyone or anybody" isn't a very constructive way of stating your actual question/issue. Anyway for such discussion #ubuntu-offtopic would be a more appropriate place [11:55] nit-wit: No multitasking. I'm slow... [11:55] How do i get the middle button to scroll [11:55] how to know which Shell am I using please ? [11:55] nit-wit: It finds the volume and it says that it's not mounted [11:55] cat /etc/passwd nerdshell [11:55] oCean, you're right... sorry [11:55] like i click it and i can move the mouse up and down [11:56] Benkinooby: no problem [11:56] hey, got a question for you folks. is unity the osx like application bar at the top when maximized? [11:56] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt run this command exactly as it is it should take at the most 2 seconds to complete aGamingDaddy [11:57] onionrings, Unity would look like a large Launcher panel on the left side of the screen [11:57] aGamingDaddy, and leave the terminal open. [11:57] how can i add "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" to /etc/rc.local [11:57] :< [11:57] ok well that osx like menus' are there a gconf tweak or a hack to make that apply to non maximized windows? ;-) [11:58] im guessing like maybe in gtk3 only apps, maybe not [11:58] onionrings, I am not clear on exactly what you mean.. do you have a screenshot link I can see? [11:58] nit-wit: thats what I wrote some minutes ago and it's still running [11:58] im on windows 7 bblean right now, i plan on reinstalling [11:58] tonvin: put it in a bash script, then at that script to the /etc/init/, then sudo update-rc [11:58] aGamingDaddy, I thought you closed that partition [11:58] the applications menu bar goes into the unity bar but at the top (kind of like finder (alt-tab) now its epiphany [11:59] tonvin: that the theory, it might not be exact so you need to research it [11:59] nit-wit: It's still open [11:59] aGamingDaddy, I give up . [11:59] nit-wit: but nothing seemes to happend [11:59] onionrings, you mean the menus of an application end up on the upper panel ? [11:59] yeah, i like that but want it non-maximized [12:00] maybe theres something i dont know to change it hehe [12:00] onionrings, it should be the same maximized or unmaximized, unless the application is not recognizing global menu [12:00] nit-wit: thnx for your time === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:00] aGamingDaddy, close evry teminal on that computer and maybe another will j=help I can't seem to sorry. [12:01] not quite aqua but i thought i lost the control from the top hrm [12:01] ill test again [12:01] nit-wit: ok, U gave it ur best. thnx [12:02] i feel alot more cozy with linux (dad getting me in to arduino) [12:02] and emacs lololol [12:02] aGamingDaddy, I will say here I have helped 1000's of people do this and have done ot on my own setuos 1000's of times. [12:03] maybe OT i dont know though. are there is there a beta of steam client for linux i heard of a counter strike source beta for linux [12:04] ok, before I install the nvidia drivers and go through nvidia-xconfig, which settings should I backup in case something goes wrong? [12:04] <- not really comfortable with wine [12:04] Me too. [12:05] The reason I keep Windows installed is because I don't like playin games with Wine ): [12:05] i feel like such a bad *** ascii gunslinger in nix wahaha ;) [12:06] hmm, where's my xorg.config? [12:06] I need to find someone that knows xorg intimately in order to determine how to force X to boot off of a specific BusID [12:07] ikonia: you wanted a heads up [12:07] tyler_d: what happens if you set it to "discrete" in bios? [12:08] chilversc, likely it isnt there now [12:08] wols: its failed yet again trying to do that, and I still for the life of me cannot get unity back up and running [12:09] coz_: just trying to work out what to backup and how to restore before I try and activate the nvidia drivers [12:09] coz_: as I'd really like to avoid re-installing again :) [12:09] tyler_d: take one step at a time. set it to discrete and show us the Xorg.0.log that produces. I suggest you boot to text mode first, run irssi there so you have irc connection and use classic desktop instead of unity [12:09] chilversc, understood... [12:10] tyler_d, you use the busid [12:10] lspci [12:10] coz_: hmm, so if it all goes wrong I just delete /etc/xorg.conf and it goes back to defaults? [12:10] intel 0:2:0 for example and nvidia 1:0:0 [12:10] onionrings: how do I determine the correct busID? [12:10] lspci [12:10] are you doing bumblebee btw? [12:10] chilversc, well if after installing nvidia driver ,, I would uninstall the driver , delete the xorg.conf and probably ..yes [12:10] wols: I have tried one step at a time as well all at once, and several variations therein [12:11] archwiki is amazing.... applies to all linux in some ways [12:11] for example [12:11] tyler_d: and what did your logs say? [12:11] hi, when i enable lock screen upon screen saver starting then the screen freezes and i can't get the logon window to appear. the mouse still moves tho. what's that? [12:11] zzzz [12:11] onionrings: I have a dual video system laptop. and the second card is the one I need, however even with the BusID set to PCI:0:1:0:0 or variations therein it still refuses to use this card [12:12] are you setting up bumblebee? [12:12] onionrings: so from lspci -v | less and finding the card, how do I translate that to an xorg readable value for BusID [12:12] nvidia optimus [12:12] because dual video nv+intel needs dkms [12:13] onionrings: dkms is installed however as wols and I found out yesterday, the correct mountpoint is not created on boot [12:13] why are you doing it the hard way? [12:13] I do love that "shutdown -r now" needs to be root, yet I can just use "reboot" from the gnome menu :) [12:13] Hello, i am running an ubuntu system with apache2. where do i find the apache conf file? [12:14] onionrings: I have tried both ways, hard and easy, recompiled and re-installed kernel headers, as well as manuallly modifying/adding modules and re-initing the ramfs [12:14] onionrings: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting [12:14] bdi_: probably under /etc/httpd/ [12:15] bdi_: /etc/apache2/ [12:15] chilversc: ubuntu is not redhat [12:15] WHAT? [12:15] MRMEEE isnt developing bumblebee anymore its another dev? [12:15] is there any way to mount my drives automatically on start up [12:15] chilversc, no that is not the one. That file is empty [12:15] there are(were) ubuntu packages [12:16] gah, stupid nvidia drivers, once again it locks up right after "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions" [12:16] newbee: man fstab [12:16] !fstab | newbee [12:16] newbee: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [12:16] thanks [12:16] onionrings: I know there are, however no matter what I do the directory is not there [12:16] Bumblebee has now been packaged into a PPA @ Launchpad: [12:16] https://launchpad.net/~mj-casalogic/+archive/bumblebee/ [12:17] This will probably be the most up-to-date version for Ubuntu from now on... [12:17] onionrings: he has no vgaswitcheroo in the first place [12:17] hi, when i enable lock screen upon screen saver starting then the screen freezes and i can't get the logon window to appear. the mouse still moves tho. what's that? [12:17] you dont need vgaswitcheroo [12:17] thats not for all optimus, maybe the thinkpad is all [12:17] with muxing [12:18] onionrings: bumblebee? [12:18] yeah, use the mrmeee one esp. launchpad [12:18] hi, I'm geting this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487939 - anybody aware of a solution? [12:18] not the samsagex (something seems wrong with it) [12:18] basically nautilus thinks half of my files are text/plain when they aren't [12:18] so, SLI and NVidia, is there anything I should be aware of? [12:18] from terminal 'file myfile.pdf' shows the correct type (pdf) [12:19] the virtualgl perdformance with xv is impressive [12:19] spike: so your gnome mime types/default file type settings are messed up. [12:19] spike: do they work properly with a newly made user? [12:19] tyler_d, no offence but if its a fresh install that you hacked go clean, itll feel better in the long run (my non tech advice for the day lol) === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [12:20] onionrings: thats always my technical advise as well, however this is not a new install [12:20] :( [12:20] because at the moment I'm seeing "(EE) NVIDIA(GPU-1): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:4:0:0" in xorg.0.log [12:20] well, bumblebee is what yah looking for [12:21] everything from asus rog to alienware etc [12:21] and the tail from dmesg shows, "NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0xffffffff:1050)" [12:21] onionrings: I will tias [12:21] onionrings: ty [12:21] wols: I will let ya know mang [12:22] hmm, seems nvidia drivers might have a problem with SLI and SMP? something to do with MMCONFIG? [12:22] apart from donating to bumblebee i think projectm deserves a little deniro [12:23] dr_willis: dunno, haven't tried to make a new user. guess I can give that a go. any idea how they got messed up in the first place? [12:23] just looking at this, http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/hardware/459337-failed-initialize-second-nvidia-gpu-opensuse-11-4-a.html [12:23] spike: nope. [12:23] actually, I think this started after the latest apt-get upgrade... [12:23] does that apply to ubuntu as well? [12:23] chilversc: if its more of a kernel/driver/X version type bug. it would most likelyu applyu to all linux's using the same stuff [12:24] onionrings: once I add the ppa I should be able to just do an apt-get install bumblebee [12:24] chilversc, this is pre bumblebee release [12:24] tyler_d: enable, update, upgrade, install new.. [12:24] dr_willis: is there anything in .gnome/.config I can wipe to tell nautilus to regenerate its mime types settings? [12:24] dr_willis: that's what I thought, but I have no idea what mmconfig is, or the implications of altering it [12:25] there are official gentoo,arch,ubuntu,somewhat fedora and suse support [12:25] spike: some where in your home dirs.. but no idea where. [12:25] dr_willis: the package to install is simply apt-get install bumblebee though? is the exact question? [12:25] dr_willis: it seems like that is disabling smp or the other cores to make it work? [12:25] tyler_d: no idea. it could be named anything. ive never used the app. [12:25] yep, but u have to add the repos (sorry smoking and typing) [12:25] !ppa | tyler_d [12:25] tyler_d: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa [12:26] chilversc: seems a little pointless to disable your cpu to get more gpu. :) sounds like a serious bug if thats the case. [12:26] ThinkT510: wow, appreciate that was supposed to be helpful, but not at all the question [12:26] dr_willis: yeah, I'd rather disable the extra GPU :) [12:26] your disabling the intel video on the i core flavor of chips [12:26] chilversc: but i dont see the point in SLI really. [12:26] they are like amd's apu's [12:26] wols: so youre saying an encrypted folder can't be readed in any way with any other tools on a detached drive? [12:27] tyler_d: if bumblebee is a ppa then you need to add the ppa repo [12:27] think of getting a better radeon [12:27] dr_willis: I got an 295, it does make a difference there since the 2 cores are on the same board [12:27] ThinkT510: I got that, the question is, what is the package name that the ppa effects, or packages? [12:27] Hello [12:27] dr_willis: but they use the same SLI tech to handle the 2 cores [12:27] ok - as promised earlier - here is a write-up on static (sorta) mountpoints for CD/DVD volumes under Ubuntu [12:27] http://blog.akyros.org/?p=8 [12:27] ThinkT510: in case you missed the link, https://launchpad.net/~mj-casalogic/+archive/bumblebee/ [12:28] when I say in the terminal it works, but when I say sudo it gives me: sudo: gem: command not found. Help please? [12:28] the nvidia will be better then ati,intel combined in terms of 2d performance, but thats not really what bumblebee does unless you specify optirun [12:28] and unlike archlinux (loads the 2nd xserver at boot as root) you have to sudo everytime you execute optirun [12:28] little inconvenient [12:28] alessioalex: type: which gem [12:29] alessioalex: this will return the whole path [12:29] alessioalex: then run that with sude [path]/gem [12:29] oh, tip, if someone is having trouble getting "ctrl+f1" to switch to terminal, check if they're using an apple keyboard, if so they need "fn+ctrl+f1" so I've now worked out how to get to the terminal [12:29] lol the apple alloy ones? [12:29] onionrings: so how do I get this to install properly [12:30] yeah [12:30] i wouldnt even consider that a keyboard haha its more like a michelangelo statue [12:30] tyler_d: sorry, i don't know, i've never used ppa's but that page you link to shows the list of packages at the bottom and contains installation instructions [12:30] ok thanks [12:30] anyone knows why ubuntu boots with corrupted mouse pointer and upper taskbar? [12:31] gnomeshell missing screensavers and preferences still doesnt install targz x11 mouse cursor themes :-p [12:31] interesting, solved the nvidia RmInitAdapter failed problem, though replaced it with a "vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device" not sure whether to call this progress [12:31] i can do it in 1104 kde fine [12:31] bah [12:31] hey how can I call the ubuntu updater manually? [12:32] it does not show up automatically any longer [12:32] i have added the ppa, none of those packages are showing [12:32] apt-get update [12:32] did it\ [12:32] 2 x [12:32] apt-get install bumblebee [12:33] tstaerk: tried looking under the menus? [12:33] fail [12:33] !? [12:33] package not found [12:33] maybe misspelled the ppa in apt conf [12:34] to say getting nvidia to work in ubuntu is flaky would be an understatement :( [12:34] rghh cmon, how do i enable iptables rules on startup? i dont want to use save,restore just manaully execute them on boot. [12:34] i managed to put them in shell script, how do i execute it on startup now? [12:34] it works great actually [12:34] ok anyone here got afp to working with ubuntu [12:34] ThinkT510: worked. the exe seems to be called aircraft-manager [12:34] I keep getting Could not pick a matching UAM. [12:34] chilversc, I have had no issues with nvidia drivers ,, what is happenind? [12:34] coz_: it won't start X [12:35] ok i know whats wrong [12:35] coz_: this is the error http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/hardware/459337-failed-initialize-second-nvidia-gpu-opensuse-11-4-a.html [12:35] tstaerk: exe? i thought you wanted the update manager [12:35] I will double check [12:35] in /etc/X11/ [12:35] oh, whats wrong? [12:35] there will be a xorg.conf.nvidia(sp?) [12:35] chilversc, oh sli? [12:35] you need the nvidia conf, hold on [12:35] yes I wanted to know what to enter on console to get the update manager [12:35] coz_: yup [12:36] chilversc, unfortunately I have no experience with sli to this point...sorry [12:36] onionrings: I got that from running nvidia-xconfig [12:36] and I've tried; nvidia-xconfig --sli=off, no luck [12:36] um i think nvidia-xconfig breaks it [12:36] that caused the error "vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device" [12:36] again its a problem with busid [12:37] the .nvidia one has to have probably 1:0:0 (not 0:1:0:0) [12:37] but check lspci [12:37] how do I transfer a picture via ssh? [12:37] and either no xorg.conf (vanilla) or one with the intel driver [12:37] ThinkT510: thanks, found it out, it is update-manager === Symmetri1 is now known as Symmetria [12:37] and make sure both dont have extra screens like screen 0 (ok) screen 1 (not ok) [12:37] haha, rc.local ftw [12:38] and nouveau has to be blacklisted [12:38] onionrings: hmm, but lspci lists; "04:00.0 3D controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 295] (rev a1)" [12:38] gdfgdf: is that for me? [12:38] nope. sry [12:38] onionrings: which is the BusID used in the xorg.conf [12:38] what busid is in xorg.conf.nvidia [12:39] in xorg.conf vanilla should be tweaked in favor of a intel only setup [12:39] how do I transfer a picture via ssh? [12:39] tstaerk: no worries :) [12:39] and the nvidia one tweaked for as if you didnt have intel HD and were using a desktop card [12:40] is it possible to transfer a file via ssh or would I have to manually go to the server w/ a flash drive? [12:40] onionrings: I don't have an xorg.conf.nvidia [12:40] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee [12:41] martin_tsc: cant you setup ftp? [12:41] ok so basically if 1. xorg doesnt start and you have NO xorg.conf under /etc/X11/ nouveau isnt blacklisted [12:41] 2. if you have xorg.conf it isnt configured properly [12:41] 3. xorg.conf.nvidia must exist to run optirun [12:41] gdfgdf, probably can, but i have access to the server so i guess thats easier === vDubG__Gone is now known as vDubG [12:42] onionrings: I have an xorg.conf, generated by nvidia-config, blacklisting nauveau now [12:42] xorg intel should really just start but fail at optirun if the nvidia config doesnt exist [12:42] nvidia-config == bad [12:42] nvidia doesnt support optimus, bumblebee is a hack and nvidia-config is assuming a desktop card [12:43] you want NOTHING nv,nvidia or even vesa in the vanilla xorg.conf [12:43] and i even recommend not using the vanilla config but by just using the xorg.conf.nvidia only [12:43] onionrings: where is this xorg.conf.nvidia? [12:44] onionrings: and if nvidia-xconfig is bad, why does the guide say to use it? [12:44] hrm.... [12:44] and why does installing the recommended drivers for nvidia after initial install break everything? [12:44] possibly it makes a good config, but move that over from xorg.conf to xorg.conf.nvidia ? [12:45] move that is [12:45] chilversc, I would also head over to #nvidia channel to see if they have a solution [12:45] ok, now blacklisted nouveau and X starts ^^ [12:45] brb [12:45] and deleted xorg.conf [12:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11101466 - new thread on FB regarding the HOWTO I mentioned earlier [12:46] and now move the *sigh* whatever file nvidia-config made (assuming i cant be xorg.conf) to xorg.conf.nvidia [12:46] and optirun should work [12:46] you can test in a jiffy with apt-get install mesa-demos [12:46] onionrings: what is optirun? === Micki_ is now known as Micki [12:46] optirun glxgears [12:47] gah, now it doesn't know about my second monitor anymore [12:47] optirun sudo's and executes a non window managed xorg server (a second one) and does a kind of VPN with virtualgl [12:47] for a second monitor i recommend USING a xorg.conf vanilla === Guest56766 is now known as epzil0n [12:47] onionrings: well second monitor worked before installing nvidia :s [12:47] sudo X -configure :1 [12:47] sudo su [12:47] cd ~ (/root) [12:48] vi xorg.conf.new make sure dual monitors is pimp and move to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:48] making sure there are no nvidia hoopla in the vanilla strictly intel [12:49] screen 1 right of 0 something like that... [12:49] onionrings: hmm, X -configure :1 failed [12:49] also adding Modes "1366x768" or whatever your native res is might help as well as removing all bit depths other then 24(32) [12:49] onionrings: (EE) Failed to load module vmwgfx (module does not exist, 0) [12:50] hi folks, i'm struggling to get my VPN up and running again.. the thing is that i haven't done anything but suddenly it wont work.. any suggestion what i can do or what is wrong? [12:50] what model notebook? [12:50] onionrings: its a desktop [12:50] !%^!#% [12:50] chilversc: did it work on 10.04? [12:50] aye yai yai, no need for bumblebee on desktop [12:50] lotuspsychje: nope, never run ubuntu before, first time trying [12:50] i thought you and tyler were in the same boat [12:50] blacklist nouveau and intel [12:51] install stock nvidia pro driver [12:51] you want to prevent kms at all costs [12:51] ok, is there a guide to this? [12:52] since I don't really know what commands/names/etc to use for stock nvidia pro driver [12:52] How can I install Gnome3 with gnome3-shell. I do not have Gnome or Unity currently so nothing should break as I am running pure Kubuntu [12:52] konqui, you can, using a PPA [12:52] arent there restricted-driver control panel in gnome? [12:52] thats pretty much it, easy peasey [12:52] onionrings: I used, apt-get install nvidia-current [12:52] But I'd suggest you to remove kubuntu-desktop after doing that [12:53] onionrings: may i pm you? [12:53] onionrings: oh, I did use that once, that also broke things, would that be nvidia-current? [12:53] italoxp: kubuntu-desktop the dummy package or all kde packages [12:53] yeah.... hrm [12:53] Banshee 2.0.0 under Natty > Music > Unheard plays a song to its end, jumps to the next song and deletes "no longer" this song from the Unhard playlist. Banshee plays the next but one song to its end and stops without an obvious reason. Error messages http://paste.ubuntu.com/655071 . 2 hours ago Banshee behaved flawlessly. Remedy? [12:53] onionrings: right, so probably just need the xorg.conf now [12:54] nvidia current is all [12:54] konqui, after install gnome, simply remove the entire kde desktop [12:54] what mobo do you got? [12:54] konqui, becasue gnome and kde don't like each other [12:54] konqui, and you will have a big confusion if you keep them together [12:54] if you have vga on the mobo in bios you might be able to disable the intel HD completely [12:55] thats kinda of a amd thing vga on the mobo, lol [12:55] onionrings: hmm, going to try nvidia-xconfig now that those modules have been blacklisted [12:55] italoxp: Kde is my main system, I just want to tinker with gnome and I won't get confused [12:56] You surely can keep them together [12:56] onionrings: MS-7522 X58 Platinum [12:56] I'm just sayin it's a bad idea [12:56] i checked that network-manager-pptp and pptp-linux is installed and everything looks ok, so i got no clue to what has gone wrong.. anybody had the same problmen with the VPN service? [12:56] For testing purposes, I don't suggest you Ubuntu for that [12:56] chilversc: 32 or 64 bit? [12:56] 64 [12:56] its got an i7 [12:57] nvidia current doesnt work... for a desktop youd be best off with a config esp with nvidia pcie [12:57] you dont need xorg.conf.nvidia either lol [12:57] italoxp: I normally run two systems, one for normal work stable and one unstable for Ubuntu bugtesting contribution [12:58] onionrings: huh? [12:58] konqui, well, you can install gnome 3 on a kubuntu system [12:59] apt-get install nvidia-current [12:59] nvidia-xconfig [12:59] dbl check the xorg.conf [12:59] and you should be fly i dont understand [13:00] pcie desktop nvidia is the most straighforward thing in life basically haha [13:00] italoxp: thanks for your help [13:01] onionrings: yeah, it gets almost there, then "(EE) NVIDIA(0): No display devices found for this X screen." [13:02] onionrings: do I need to blacklist those devices before installing nvidia-current? [13:02] konqui, maybe look virtual desktop manager === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [13:06] um it would be l33t to blacklist intel for the hell of it [13:07] no intel no nouveau == no KMS [13:07] l33t [13:07] ? [13:07] just a wee vesa bios waiting for conformation from da boss [13:07] type in english please onionrings [13:07] onionrings: KMS? [13:08] i mean..... if i was in your shoes and not stuck with optimus id be on freebsd ;-D but i didnt say that hehe [13:08] chilversc: i would tryout a 10.04 livecd to test if its not a natty bug or something [13:08] lotuspsychje: well it works without the nvidia driver [13:08] KMS is some stupid glorified framebuffer that jams the memory from anything else working properly [13:08] lotuspsychje: and the nvidia driver once nouveau is blacklisted works for a single screen [13:09] lotuspsychje: but now trying to work out how to get the second monitor to work [13:09] ic [13:09] X -configure should detect dsub,hdmi and dvi [13:09] onionrings: naw, that would fail [13:09] if there are signal it should detect dual screens [13:10] it will do that with intel... hrm beauty of FOSS [13:10] no wonder, X -configure seems to think I have 4 cards, and 4 monitors [13:10] nvidia-config is your best bet, since youve gotten GUI now setup their dual screen [13:11] yeah 4 cards 4 monitors might be a good thing.... [13:11] lol [13:11] you have to cut out the junk [13:11] onionrings: I don't like their dual screen, twinview means X sees it as one giant monitor rather than 2 individial monitor [13:11] by hand [13:11] quadcore sli :p [13:11] can i ask some thing , do u guys got a ideaa how to get the mpc plugin into xchat [13:12] afaik theres a way to fix that but i have no experience with twinview in the last few years at least [13:12] Hi, my Acer Aspire (Intel Series 4 Graphics chip) has been stuck in low graphics mode since upgrading to Natty (was running Lucid fine). The details of the problem are here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11057898 [13:12] last time ive used twinview was a fx5200 on ubuntu 5 something [13:12] well without nvidia drivers ubuntu sees both monitors correctly, but can't do hardware accelleration [13:12] Hi, I am a windows user, I want to try out linux, I have a free partition and want to dual boot, I have researched arround and found ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, opensuse, debian, fedora distributions. Which one should I choose? [13:13] MichaelGPBK: i suggest a clean install on natty [13:13] pinkprincess: depends on your choice. try out various distros and find out which one suits you-each have a different opinion. [13:13] pinkprincess, I would suggest ubuntu 1.04 [13:13] pinkprincess: ubuntu all the way :p [13:13] pinkprincess, rather ubuntu 10.04 LTS [13:14] youre using blob, if you have gnome-shell whats so bad about twinview [13:14] i could understand awesomewm or something [13:14] lotuspsychje, oh dear. Have there been a lot of problems from the upgrade process itself, but Natty is generally ok? I assumed I would have to roll back to Lucid. [13:14] I have tried kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu and edubuntu I seem to like kubuntu best [13:14] onionrings: if you maximise a window it goes across both monitors rather than only the current monitor [13:14] its between ubuntu and kubuntu === onionrings is now known as konqui [13:14] * konqui purrs === konqui is now known as onionrings [13:15] HI all!! how do i get rid of the Wheelchair-Man ( http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/9915/screenshot1li.png ) ???? [13:15] onionrings: you get message boxes displaying in the middle of the screen, only the middle of the screen now spans both monitors [13:15] MichaelGPBK: natty is very cool but many known issues after upgrading...so i would try a clean install [13:15] onionrings: all in all, the user experience kind of sucks [13:15] chilversc, gnome always did that [13:15] Is update manager window supposed to show on every screen? even when you right click and "always on visible workspace" is unticked [13:15] pinkprincess, well, you lost your time with edubuntu, because it's a niche distro. But if you like KDE, I guess you should try out other distros and see whats better for you [13:15] chilversc, kde will do it right ;-) [13:16] lotuspsychje, I appreciate the advice! [13:16] i've seen this over all installs of ubuntu and it's REALLY annoying [13:16] funkeyy, looks like you've enabled accessibility options [13:16] My left side has stuck, how do i restart it? I am using Natty with unity 2d [13:16] italoxp: which would you advise OpenSuse, Kubuntu? [13:16] Leave the session [13:16] And login again [13:16] you could try screen 1 left of 0 method and not defining twinview [13:17] pinkprincess, I've read that Kubuntu comes closest to emulating the "Windows experience" (minus the bad parts, one assumes), so if that is important to you... [13:17] pinkprincess: it's a matter of personal taste, mostly. However this channel is for ubuntu specific support. The #ubuntu-offtopic channel is better suited for general discussion [13:17] bit of xorg.conf hacking but its worth a try [13:17] drzero, k... sec. [13:17] hi, when i enable lock screen upon screen saver starting then the screen freezes and i can't get the logon window to appear. the mouse still moves tho. what's that? [13:17] pinkprincess, there a lot of good distros that use KDE. You may like one of those. PCLinuxOS, Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Chakra... There are lots of options [13:18] (not arch or slackware) segfaulllllllllt ahoy [13:18] onionrings: that would be nice if X starts displaying anything [13:18] ronqbc, is it a black screen, or the login box is frozen? [13:18] how do you run a program in terminal that allows you to exit the terminal without exiting the program? [13:18] I'm on 10.10 32-bit with 4gigs of RAM. only 3.4 are usable. Are there any issues with 64-bit ubuntu I should know about? like certain programs not having 64-bit versions? [13:18] chilversc, x isnt loading again? [13:18] pinkprincess, kubuntu if you want to stick with Ubuntu-derivatives is a good go, OpenSuSE might be OK choice too but my experience is that it degraded ever since Novell let go of it [13:19] italoxp: was you last message for me e.g. logout and log back in? if yes, what if thats not an option? [13:19] Flynsarmy, no... In the past there were a few, but not today [13:19] italoxp: For someone new i.e windows and OS X user , will I feel at home in linux. is the os x terminal and linux terminal similar [13:19] onionrings: not at the moment, I did say trying to get nvidia to work here was flakey [13:19] Flynsarmy, I use the 64bit version, and have never had issues [13:19] Flynsarmy, I've been running x64 for a couple years and things have smoothed out [13:19] o wait gentoo would be like scratching your eyes out with a nail interms of kde also [13:19] Error404NotFound, then I'd say that you'd have to kill unity and bring it back [13:19] Flynsarmy, which CPU do you have? [13:20] italoxp: correct and whats a better method then kill -9? :D [13:20] drzero: intel core2 duo T7100 (1.8ghz) [13:20] Flynsarmy, but maybe that .8 of missing ram is no big deal [13:20] pinkprincess, osx is posix-compilant, just like Linux. Yes, the terminal is quite the same. But Linux's is more powerful [13:20] chilversc, fresh install, restricted drivers nvidia current should just work!??! [13:20] Error404NotFound, pkill =D [13:20] onionrings: no, it didn't this is a fresh install [13:20] compdoc: i had to add an extra gig because chrome, komodo + virtualbox get me dangerously close to 3GB :) [13:20] italoxp: thats basically same thing as kill :D [13:20] Flynsarmy, trie PAE kernel first before doing complete re-install with 64bit [13:21] aiii [13:21] s/trie/try/ even [13:21] will I feel comfortable using linux? [13:21] italoxp: but killing unity would kill it all, any easy way to just restart left sidebar (dashboard?) so even if it doesn't come up i have a workable session [13:21] Flynsarmy, I think the last x64 related problem I encountered was Adobe Flash [13:21] pinkprincess: please move that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:21] I cant run qemu-kvm without the 64bit version [13:21] pinkprincess, if you're comfortable in OS X you should be OK in Linux for the most part [13:21] Error404NotFound, sidebar is called launcher. Dash is the menu. [13:21] Error404NotFound, but it's all one thing, I guess [13:21] Dash :-D [13:21] drzero: poor linux noob here. wouldn't know how to begin doing that or what the ramifications would be. MichaelGPBK I heard they recently released a 64-bit version fo the latest flash didn't they? [13:22] .po [13:22] cè qualcuno? [13:22] drzero, right, but i cant get rid of the Wheelchair-Man... i deactivated accessibility already...

Flash-Aid for Firefox also helps. [13:23] oCean: it was just for a short discussion (its done now) sorry, but I did not want to waste time switching channels [13:23] What mail client refresh folders and subfolders? Evolution does not. [13:23] Flynsarmy, and there are probably people in this very chatroom who can advocate well for the free software Flash packages. [13:23] drzero, i recently issued "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties" i guess thats what made it appear [13:23] oCean: so this a support channel ... might need help once I enter the linux world?

[13:28] jiohdi, example compiz --replace & disown [13:28] tht will let you run a program and go on using the terminal... i.e. run in background [13:28] thanks [13:29] jiohdi: Ctrl-Z, disown %1 (if program is running) [13:29] of course if it's running.. if it's not running, there's nothing to disown :P [13:29] thanks again, works perfectly [13:30] drzero: OK, pae kernels installed. Rebooting. If I don't come back avenge me. [13:30] ah cool, twinview does seem to work without breaking everything [13:31] szal: I ment, ctrl-z can hang many application, so it is better to start them smart way then risking crash.

[13:38] I am having a couple issues, when I run second life, it connects fine, all the way till "waiting for region handshake" then disconnects, and I have been trying to get Ragnarok online (RebirthRO in Wine to be specific to work) can anyone help me with these [13:38] funkeyy, Perhaps right-click on "wheel-chair", and then remove from panel? [13:38] wols: yes, intel is the driver. [13:39] if you brick it you can always factory reset it [13:39] wols alright, thanks. [13:39] !appdb | tasha [13:39] tasha: 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 [13:39] Sidewinder1, thanks but right-click doesnt do anything.. theres no dialog opening [13:39] tasha: application specific help for wine is in #winehq [13:39] jrib: ok.... [13:39] Reaper: even when you brick it wile changing the firmware? [13:39] alright, how about my second life issue? :c [13:40] Please, someone send me a "help" channel? I upgrade the system and now i can't switch the monitors... NVidia gforce 7150M; HP DV6000 [13:40] I think.. im not100% because ive never done it myself, but from what I hear and have read ppl have done that [13:40] Hello, I have trouble with the nvidia driver in ubuntu 10.10, the oned that come by default don’t work, and the one I have in use ruins my display every time I use flash in a web browser. ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop says the my driver is 260.19.06. I also seem to have a lot of nvidia releted errors in the logs. [13:40] im having low resolution problem with my fresh install of xubuntu 11.04 .... help is appreciated [13:40] tasha: contact the maintainers for that package? [13:41] paranormal, try changing the fonts and text size [13:41] funkeyy, Try looking in System, under preferrences or Administration for menu, panel, etc... [13:41] paranormal: what resolution do you get, and what resolution are you expecting? [13:41] there are no maintainers lol [13:42] I use a third party viewer :( [13:42] tasha: that still does not make it an #ubuntu issue though [13:42] ok, how do I move the application bar thing? [13:42] how do i extract jar files ? [13:42] well I figured Im having the issue (in ubuntu 11.04) therefore it was an ubuntu issue? [13:43] wouldnt make much sense to ask someone who uses fedora to help me with my issue >.> [13:43] airtonix: .jar is just a .zip file, so unzip will work (or just rename by adding .zip to the end) [13:43] , font size ?? [13:43] I'm having various problems running ubuntu. I'm trying a boot from a disc at the moment. On a desktop machine, it doesn't achieve very much at all (I had difficulty with another version of ubuntu on this machine before). It gets to teh initial boot up screen (with the boot options) but then i just get a blanc screen with a flashing cursor while the cd drive revs and seeks [13:43] u not getting my problem ,,, the screen reso is max at 1024 x 768 .... on my 19" widescreen monitor [13:43] paranormal, yeah, that will help if you see things too small [13:44] as I'd quite like the application bar to display on the left rather than in the middle [13:44] paranormal: what graphics card do you have? [13:44] paranormal, and what screen resolution do you want? [13:44] i used to get 1440 x 900 .... i have an onboard intel card .... intel 865 chipset [13:44] wols, jrib: when it freezes, mouse still moves, but clicking and keyboard have no effect. All the processes still see to be running. Switching back to the vt with X11 on it gives me whatever was on my tty vt, plus a moving cursor [13:44] DeltaDrone, Booting from LiveCD usually takes a few minutes as it must access the CDromdrive. [13:45] StevenR: check ~/.xsession-errors, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, dmesg [13:45] paranormal, well, what video card do you have? [13:45] onboard intel 865G [13:45] paranormal, does that video card steal ram from your PC or has its own ram? [13:46] tsimpson: unfortunately while you may be able to do that, it won't work for a java.jar program [13:46] Sidewinder1, yes, it takes several minutes and then eventually lays dormant. one time i got a purple desktop, with moving cursor, one time i got a blank screen with moving cursor. In both cases, the cursor would not do anything when clicked [13:46] how do i find that out ?? [13:46] airtonix: it should [13:46] jrib: i;ve found that i actually need jar to properly do it [13:46] airtonix: java uses .jar automatically, you don't extract it. but if you want to look at the files, it is a zip [13:46] if the video card is onboard, then it is using the system's ram [13:47] yeah the card is onboard [13:47] tsimpson: actually if you want to get at the files inside you do need to extract it [13:47] DeltaDrone, Unless you're getting some sort of error message I don't think I can be of much help. :-( [13:47] hmm, perhaps there is a verbose boot mode which will give me an error message? [13:47] DeltaDrone, What version? [13:47] hmm, how do I make the application bar show when a window partly overlaps the area it would normally display? [13:47] hey guys what is the font which is used in ubuntu 11.04 (default) ?? [13:48] paranormal, well google about that video card or check the bios, if there is an option of giving ram to the video card enabled your card probably steals rams from your PC. I am asking because with those type of cards is unwise to ask to much. [13:48] erm, the very latest, 11.04 i think [13:48] i want to use it but can not find the name of the font [13:48] i only just got it of the website [13:48] DeltaDrone, And the make/model of your system? [13:48] And ubuntu 11.04 has got know problems with those video cards [13:48] Help needed on usb-linux installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/655118/ [13:48] Erm, well the mobo is a gigabyte with an x48 chipset [13:48] oh nevermind, I have to move my mouse all the way to the left edge of the screen, then all the way back to the middle of the screen where the bar is displaying :s [13:49] the proc is a core2 duo 3.0Ghz [13:49] 4GHz DDR 1200 ram [13:49] i assembled it myself though [13:49] i used to get the desired reso on windows .... and i guess u are right ... i remember seeing the memory option in bios ... its set to 32 i guess [13:49] DeltaDrone, Did you run MD5sum on the iso image that you downloaded? Prior to burning? [13:50] hey guys what is the font which is used in ubuntu 11.04 (default) ?? [13:50] jrib: dmesg showed up lots of wireless events, but nothing display related. .xsession-errors shows a few events of Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so (but there isn't a piece of nvidia hardware in this laptop).. X.org.log.old (the one I was writing to when the problem occurred shows only one EE line, relating to the wireless mouse receiver during startup, but nothing more. [13:50] blackcatnekonegr , is there ne way around ? [13:50] !who | DeltaDrone [13:50] DeltaDrone: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:51] paranormal, its unwise to force the generic video card in ubuntu 11.x get a better video card. [13:51] StevenR: are you using unity? [13:51] corrected the software center problem [13:51] pratz: ubuntu font [13:51] italoxp: its "killall unity-2d-launcher", figured it out. [13:51] jrib: no [13:51] using the 'rename' command how can i replace all . (periods) with something [13:51] Sidewinder1, sorry, I ran an md5 check on teh image after burning actually, but it checked out ok [13:51] StevenR: what are you using? [13:52] Sidewinder1, and the disc was verified by the burner [13:52] jrib: "Classic" mode [13:52] italoxp: after that launcher comes back by itself, though some icons are just blackboxes. [13:52] my machine is a pretty old one ... it has AGP slot ..... i had a nvidia 128 mb (gefore 5200 or something) video card .... i blew it recently .... :-( [13:52] krazykrivda: rename -n s#\.#something#g FILES_LISTED_HERE [13:52] krazykrivda: In terminal, try `mv \. ` [13:52] anyone configured bigblu button on ubuntu server? [13:52] pratz: the default is 12sans [13:52] Sidewinder1, I have a different problem with the same disc on my laptop, a kind of checkered patter appears over the top and left of the screen [13:53] actually, I should be happy that my only complaint is the unity launcher is in a stupid place, at least I now have working graphics [13:53] jrib: this laptop has been running natty for a while, with classic all the time (apart from a couple of periods of experimentation)... this freezing issue only started occuring quite recently [13:53] 1024 x 768 on a wide screen is ver troublesome for me .... is there ne way around ? [13:53] DeltaDrone, Well then, I'm afraid your issues may go a little beyond my expertise, if one could call it that.... Sorry....Perhaps someone more knowleagable will "chime-in". [13:53] StevenR: any recent upgrades? [13:53] paranormal, alternately, you can give the card more ram in the bios and force the display to the one you want editing xorg.conf, but thats playing with fire and I dont recomend it. [13:53] paranormal: check your Xorg.0.log [13:53] paranormal: for my older box's i had to get the proper drivers installed befor they would do wide screen correctly [13:54] Help needed with crashed usb installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/655118/ [13:54] jrib: hardware, no. Software, when it prompts me. I installed a couple of softwre packages (a game that I haven't played since last weekend) [13:54] Sidewinder1, :< oh well, thanks any way [13:54] DeltaDrone, But, to me, it sounds like a driver issue. [13:54] dr_willis , how do i do that [13:55] krazykrivda: Actually, shouldn't even need the backslash. [13:55] hmm .... actually in my install xorg.conf was not there by default ... Xorg -configure in recovery mode dint work either [13:55] Sidewinder1, I have another question, which is to do with my partial success on my laptop: I'm trying to access a disk externally over usb which was the internal hard disk for a macbook... [13:55] jrib: I'm just having a read of dpkg.log [13:55] StevenR: and the freezes seem to happen randomly? No common action you can think of? [13:55] i manually created it and made the settings [13:55] DeltaDrone: So, you need hfsprogs [13:55] Sidewinder1, in principle it works, but there are some protected folders and I don't know how to move on with those [13:56] it did improve the refresh rate from a max 61 Hz to 85Hz ... the reso is still low [13:56] jrib: astraljava: i have files named com.androind.xxx.png [13:56] oew irsend work with the mceusb in natty as I cant seem to get my led to flash [13:56] krazykrivda: yes? [13:56] i want ot mass rename so the "." are replaced with _ [13:56] theadmin, hfsprogs is already installed? [13:56] paranormal: do you use a TFT or a CRT? [13:56] ello, I have trouble with the nvidia driver in ubuntu 10.10, the oned that come by default don’t work, and the one I have in use ruins my display every time I use flash in a web browser. ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop says the my driver is 260.19.06. I also seem to have a lot of nvidia releted errors in the logs. I want help to install another nvidia driver and to fix the errors. [13:56] Does irsend work with the mceusb in natty as I cant seem to get my led to flash [13:56] krazykrivda: Ahh... misuderstood that the filename is nothing but periods. [13:56] krazykrivda: yes, I gave you the command [13:56] DeltaDrone: Okay, "protected folders"? I'm not familiar with Macs, I just know they're ugly. Explain what those are. [13:56] TFT .... [13:56] jrib: the command you gave makes the entire filename ___________ [13:56] xangua: how can i download it ?? [13:56] Viewsonic 19" widescreen [13:56] DeltaDrone, Although, if you're having the relatively same problem on two machines, I would suggest you start the entire process of downloading/Md5summing/burning... Can't hurt. [13:57] paranormal: then your refreshrate at 85Hz is wrong and counterproductive [13:57] well, i click on them in the ui and it says i don't have access permission [13:57] pratz: google ubuntu font [13:57] krazykrivda: sorry, I forgot the quotes. [13:57] krazykrivda: rename -n 's#\.#something#g' FILES_LISTED_HERE [13:57] theadmin, <- woops... well, i click on them in the ui and it says i don't have access permission [13:57] DeltaDrone: Run this, assuming the Mac drive is mounted to /media/mac: chmod -R 777 /media/mac [13:57] i dont know ...... my main concern is to get the reso upto 1440 x 900 .... ne ideas ? [13:57] hmm, yes, i had wondered if that would work [13:58] Help needed. Ubuntu won't start. http://paste.ubuntu.com/655118/ [13:58] paranormal: I asked you for something which you have ignored until now [13:58] jrib: they don't happen when I'm using it, it's a "when I come back to it" event [13:58] jrib: awesome thank you so mcuh! i didn't have the '\' so it kept only replacing 1st char [13:58] theadmin: I thought it might be password protected as well, but maybe not [13:58] aGamingDaddy, have you tried reinstall? [13:58] aGamingDaddy: you mean grub wont boot? desktop wont load? gdm wont load? [13:58] DeltaDrone: Well I dunno, don't think that'd be an issue... idk [13:58] theadmin, ok, i guess i try chmoding it [13:59] wols , use TFT .... [13:59] StevenR: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging might have some hints. My suggestion would be to try a different window manager to rule that out (I don't think it matters). With classic, are effects still enabled? Try disabling those to see if it still happens. Given your last statement, is it screensaver related? [13:59] i already mentioned it [13:59] DeltaDrone: Be careful though, it's unlikely that Mac will boot anymore after permissions are modified so evil-ly [13:59] dr-willis: It stops during startup [13:59] paranormal, go to yours bios and give your card as much ram as it can get [13:59] 32 MB .... i already did that [13:59] paranormal, honestly it would be way better if you got a real video card [13:59] aGamingDaddy: no init found soulds like the grub configs got messed up. I would start by reinsdtalling grub via a Live-cd [14:00] theadmin, the computer broke and is ripped to shreds... getting the hard drive out was not straight forwards [14:00] dr-willis: ok I have a cd and then [14:00] jrib: no screensaver, only dpms. [14:00] theadmin, booting is no longer an issue [14:00] DeltaDrone: had to use the 'jaws of life and a blowtorch?' ? :) [14:00] blackcatnekonegr, i want to keep that as the last option [14:00] DeltaDrone: Okay then :) [14:00] theadmin, not quite that hard :> [14:01] theadmin, but it took me a while to discover the propper way [14:01] hello [14:01] hello [14:01] wols ?? [14:01] can anybody help me with a not booting ubuntu? [14:01] paranormal: I asked you something else. and: I strongly suggest to delete your xorg.conf and restart X [14:01] paranormal, then your only option is doing a backup of xorg.conf and then editing xorg.conf [14:01] !anyone | genia [14:01] genia: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [14:02] DeltaDrone: Heh, macs are macs. [14:02] genia: what is it doing exactly. [14:02] dr-willis: How do I fix the grub? [14:02] !fixgrub [14:02] 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) [14:02] ubottu, what was it smth like "Don't ask if you can ask - just ask" ?:) [14:02] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:02] !fixnvidia [14:02] drzero: !ask is that factoid [14:03] blackcatnekonegr, i did add the 1440 x 900 to xorg.conf ...... with the mode line and all .... but for some reason i still dont get it .... [14:03] argh - i need sleep... [14:03] have you reboot? [14:03] I sware at one time i saw a Ubuntu live-cd/recovery menu item that tried to auto-fix grub.. or was i testing out some nonubuntu disrto that day? anyone else ever notice an automated fix-grub item on ubuntu anywhere? [14:03] wols: If you've ever used Android 1.5, I'd love your help on how to export contacts. I've never used Android but I'm trying to help a friend who wants to export his contacts. [14:04] dr_willis: never seen that on any ubuntu, been using since dapper [14:04] hp_: I have an Android right here, but it's Gingerbread [14:04] dr_willis: that was on sled... ;) Sorry! [14:04] hp_: and this is ubuntu related how? and no I don't own an android device either [14:04] hp_: mine can export to a file on the sd card.. Not sure about what else other then android can import them.. You an also export them all to you gmail account I think. [14:04] well, recoveryboot in ubuntu has a fix grub option last time I checked [14:04] dr_willis: Not me... [14:04] still no 3d support for my vidio, nvidia/intel :( [14:04] doew irsend work with the mceusb in newer kernels (natty) as I cant seem to get my led to flash [14:04] wols: because I use Ubuntu :) So I wanted to connect the device to Ubuntu and import contats from there [14:04] paranormal, have you reboot? [14:04] wols .... i for some reason missed ur previous msg .... just checked it again .......... Im current viewing my Xorg.0.log.... what shud i look for ? [14:04] dr_willis, that article is actually pretty dangerous - it doesn't explain the process well enough - if you just follow it [14:05] yeah .... i already did that [14:05] dr_willis: the problem is, all guides I can find online refer to menus and options that I cannot see on my friend's phone [14:05] dr_willis, yes, there is an iso called boot repair, i believe >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [14:05] drzero: help make it better - thats what wikis are all about. [14:05] theadmin: I think the versions would be too dfferent [14:05] jrib: I'll just have to wait until it happens again to get some more info :S [14:05] hp_: Yeah... [14:05] can't just "force it" :( [14:05] hello guyz [14:05] i want some help pls [14:05] StevenR: make sure you check bugs.ubuntu.com too to see if others are experiencing it [14:06] hp_: for mine. I just went to the phone/contacts and ther ewas a export.. in the menus.. possible its not on the phone. So i would suggest finding some 3rd party app. and asking in #android [14:06] paranormal, try to reboot in recovery mode [14:06] manolitos: Just ask. [14:06] rebooting after editing the xorg.conf just improved the max refresh rate i cud get from 61 to 85 [14:06] jrib: I've not turned anything up yet [14:06] do a pastebin of your xorg.conf [14:06] i need to know 1 external tv tuner available for ubuntu 10.04 [14:06] blackcatnekonegr , u want me to enter recovery mode ?? [14:06] hp_: Here, "Contacts -> Menu -> Export to SD card" [14:07] theadmin: there is no such option on his phone [14:07] hp_, boot from live cd, open terminal, sudo -s, mount /dev/YOUR_UBUNTU_ROOT /mnt, mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev, mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc, mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys, chroot /mnt, grub-install, grub-update, exit, reboot [14:07] hp_: I know, version differences [14:07] wols ? [14:07] paranormal, just try it, then log in, then type startx [14:07] OerHeks: cool, never saw that [14:07] hp_: If you can get to a root terminal, you can probably just back up the whole / partition ;) [14:08] ok [14:08] theadmin: seems a bit dangerous [14:09] hp_: Meh honestly, all I get from my Android when I try to do anything on / is "Access denied: Read-only filesystem", but you might be a bit more lucky [14:09] I have pasted my Xorg.0.log and my xorg.conf that failed(generated by nvidia) -- > http://paste.ubuntu.com/655126/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/655124/ [14:09] no luck [14:09] if someone would kindly tell my why I am getting the "no screen found" and how to fix it [14:10] paranormal, try lowering the refresh rate then change the screen resolution [14:10] tyler_d, have you checked the wires? [14:11] blackcatnekonegr: laptop [14:11] apparently 85Hz is the only option available :-s [14:11] tyler_d: and this was set to "discrete" in BIOS? [14:11] tyler_d, you probably have a lose wire, can you see anything on the monitor? [14:12] wols: no [14:12] blackcatnekonegr: just finished saying its a laptop, yes, with no xorg.conf it boots without 3d support(unity) [14:12] wols ?? [14:13] paranormal, edit your xorg.conf to add more options [14:13] Tyler__, looks like you have two GPUs [14:13] How can I see which type of networkcard I have? [14:13] tyler_d: I say it now for at least the third time: why not doing that? [14:13] tyler_d, I mean [14:13] thomasberends: lspci normally [14:13] thomasberends: `sudo lshw -c network` [14:13] tyler_d, sorry, I am clueless about unity [14:14] Using software represitory apps I keep getting this when updating sources (apart from that the update works) "Failed to download http:\\ppa.launchpad.net /main i386 packages" this line twice. Seems like natty does not save ppa's in sources.lst How can I resolve this? [14:14] wols: I tried it and could not even get back into X :( with or without the xorg.conf [14:14] girl: they are saved in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ one per file [14:14] how do i determine the file system of an external disk that's plugged into my computer [14:14] wols: in descrete mode would I get 3d support(supposing I can break it enough to get it working?) [14:14] tyler_d: and I told you how to debug it, but you don't want to, so have fun fixing it. good day [14:15] dr_willis: Thanks [14:15] girl: the whole 'add stuff to sources.list' method is sort of been phased out. for the sources.list.d method [14:15] blackcantnekonegr ..... is there some way that i can show u my xorg.conf file ?? [14:15] gvfs-open is missing from default natty install. so how do you open a file explorer in the most desktop agnostic fashion? [14:15] So how can I remove the confilcting ppa? [14:15] girl: find the file.. delete it.. [14:15] I never remember adding such a ppa [14:15] wols: you have been more than patient and helpful so if your saying to reboot into that then thats what I will do, brb [14:15] dr_willis: will try that [14:15] girl: just go to software centre-edit-sources [14:15] airtonix: Alt+F2, nautilus ? [14:15] Hello, I need help to do a clean install of the nvidia driver on ubuntu 10.10 [14:16] airtonix: "xdg-open $PWD" should do. [14:16] airtonix: Places menu, whatever you got there?

[16:28] <^Mike> stevejamer: that'll be your user-specific stuff. Many system settings are stored in /etc, which isn't easy to revert.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction for this. I'm working on a kernel module. Most of it works as expected, but one thing is missing: I need to access the parallel port, and I'd have preferred to go via ppdev, using regular stdio.h access to open it as a file named "/dev/parport0" rather than writing directly to 0x378 plus. Is there an example somewhere showing how to access a file via a kernel module? [16:32] <^Mike> Bipul: ~/.local/share/Trash, I think [16:33] Bipul: What do you want to do with the Trash folder?

Waaay easier [17:35] ikonia: Sure I was suggesting a way not stating it must be done like that [17:35] when i click the top left it opens for me to choose whatever type apps i wanna look at or the choice to search for an app as well---as example if i click on "media applications'' it opens that big screen with 3 sections (1)most frequently used(2)installed(3)apps available for download------my question is can i set it to only display what is installed? i dont care for looking at the other stuff---ubuntu11.04 unity [17:35] also when i do sudo apt-get upgrade i get the dependency error [17:35] how do i manually run 'sudo dpkg--configure -a' to correct problem PROBLEM IS E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run. I was downloading at terminal ubuntu restricted essentials and got microsoft licence agreement appear in the terminal that blocked further functionality , it froze [17:35] infid: can you ping the ip? [17:36] thank you [17:36] can i somehow flush the apt-get program? [17:36] dr_willis: when i right-click a folder in nautilus and click 'sharing options' to share the folder, it does not show up under /media, even though i knwo it's working because my boxee box device sees the share fine [17:36] bdi_: What dependency error exactly [17:36] ActionParsnip: yes [17:36] yokahu: in a terminal, prefix with sudo [17:36] infid, you share a folder and it does not show up under /media/ on the local machine.. thats not how shareing works.. Other machines (or the local one) sould see it as a samba share.. [17:36] bdi_: As you have been told before, please get fixed your installed packages first.

[17:37] actionpasnip thanks im looking at your guidance [17:37] bullgard4, i have no idea how to do that [17:37] ActionParsnip: no [17:37] infid, it does not appear in /media/ its moiunted via the gvfs stuff to the users .gvfs dir thats how nautilus does it.. boxee prob. puits it somewhere else. [17:37] bdi_: Do what it says to fix broken packages apt-get -f install [17:38] yokahu: use tab to complete nicks [17:38] bdi_: What is the ouptput of '~$ sudo apt-get update'? [17:38] girly, ohh [17:38] any help me get driver for Chipset: Ralink RT3572 please [17:38] Infid: then the share is blocked by firewall or not configured right [17:39] bdi_: solved?

Your app may need wine 1.3 or not even work at all [17:42] dr_willis: guess i should use a service like dropbox just to sync files, can't believe filesharing doesnt work great in 2011 [17:42] hi [17:42] infid, ive rarely had issues like this with nfs.. but ive got a mixed lan. so nfs wont work very well.. the one device that everything can seem to 'see' is my $20 nas [17:42] yokahu: type the command in terminal after you close software centre [17:42] infid, i cant even get window7 to do it 'right' [17:42] has anyone been able to install a gtx480 in ubuntu while running ubuntu in windows virtual pc?

[17:43] i dont get why my boxee box can read my shares perfectly fine [17:43] from ethernet to ethernet for shareing files if no modem you can cut the solid oreng and blue and swap them reconect set to autoconfig [17:43] ActionParsnip, what comand?

[17:44] Guys I'm using buntu 11.04 and for some reason I can't add anything else to the Launcher? [17:44] It just disappears if I drag and drop anything on it? [17:44] Google is proving to be unresourceful any help would be awesome [17:44] Infid: i can give you my smb.conf if you wish... [17:44] dr_willis: only issue i ever have with the boxee box in the last 6 months ive had it, is sometimes i have to exit out of the 'files' tab, go into the 'apps' tab, then go back itno the files tab for it to pickup new changes when it doesn't automatically (or restart it) [17:44] infid, between the tv, and the cell phones, and now the blueray player.. :) i got a lot of gizmos that do seem to work well with samba.. its just the pc's that are the most problematic [17:44] yokahu: the command you were told to run [17:44] procras right click on the icon them click keep here [17:45] ActionParsnip: no thanks i know how to do it with smb.conf, and already have one set up for other things [17:45] infid, havent had that issue yet. :) but ive only used it a little.

How can I create a hotspot with the WiFi card so that other devices can connect to the internet via my PC?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:24] i thought intel bought ati anyway [18:24] yokahu: did you run the command to add the medibuntu repo? [18:24] arc_nit_india: neither a [18:25] girly: centos was working, i might head back over to that. wanted to try to rebuild on ubuntu for the exercise. didn't learn too much here, but i did learn about a few differences [18:25] arc_nit_india: neither and both [18:25] mattvishere: maybe a newer release of ubuntu server [18:25] 11.04 [18:26] girly: i am using 11.04 server [18:26] 10.04 desktop was what this machine was before [18:26] arc_nit_india: its as intelligent as asking which is better, red or green [18:26] ActionParsnip, blue.. :) [18:26] maybe 10.04 server would work, or i could get an intel card [18:26] girly: do you have a pci-e intel card recommendation? something from newegg maybe [18:27] mattvishere, whatever nvidia fits your budget [18:27] Nvidia all the way :-) [18:27] How do you create a new launcher in 11.10 Alpha 2? [18:27] mattvishere: let me search but I think intel is mainly onboard cards [18:27] i have a computer with 3 harddrives. each time it boots, it defines each hard drive differently each time. (40GB, 80GB, & 1TB defined as sda1, sdb1, & sdc1, respectively... then on next boot 40GB, 80GB, & 1TB defined as sdb1, sdc1, & sda1, respectively).

My question is, how can i enable/disble tv without much clicking? nvidia-settings works, but takes a lot of time to set/reset settings. monitors applet seems to be dumb, and xrandr can't detect my tv also [18:29] mattvishere: 1 moment I will have a look [18:29] How can I list all daemons which are started at boot time on 10.04? [18:29] girly: ok [18:29] dr_willis, well yes, but not in just one...but ALL text files in a folder and all subfolders [18:30] grep has a option for that i recall [18:30] mattvishere: performance card needed?

[19:01] I installed 11.04 alongside Windows 7, created swap, / and /home and (probably a mistake) installed grub to / rather than replace the windows boot record. I just never have luck with grub2 and didn't want to risk anything. Now, unsurprisingly, I can't figure out how to boot into Ubuntu since grub is not the mbr.

[19:04] vszh, I can't tell you how to fix it but my live cd boot loader gives me the option to boot Ubuntu from the hard drive [19:04] anygivenname: no, but if you start fail2ban again it may possibly put the rules back, depending on your config, [19:05] ikonia: you mean that an error has occured in fail2ban & lead to the blocking rule [19:05] w30: I'll give that a try, should have thought of it, thanks. If that ends up being my only option I'll just start over.

[20:42] http://pastebin.com/2gwpR3Ta [20:43] how upgrading goes in linux? if i install something with make install do i need to uninstall it or can i just intall over it the next version (again with configure, make, make install)?

[20:44] h_: its the things in the top bar on the right [20:44] h_: just like that :D [20:44] h_: yup [20:44] h_: use TAB to autocomplete nicks [20:44] ActionParsnip, yes those ones [20:44] h_: or your could pm him [20:44] guntbert: there's option to 'safe removal'. should i do this? [20:45] h_: if its in natty and not in gnome 3 then its supported here [20:45] gdfgdf: why aren't you using the package manager? [20:45] action yes i can see [20:46] makara: I never tried from the GUI, only from terminal - with eject sr1 [20:46] looks like make uninstall i guess [20:46] , can see wireless networks yess [20:46] ActionParsnip, ok, that is confusing me though, it is said that ubuntu 11.10 will land with gtk3 but what does that mean? [20:46] yes* [20:47] guntbert: what model and what firmware you got? [20:47] gdfgdf: updating differs between distros, ubuntu is debian based so it uses apt-get [20:47] ActionParsnip, *gnome3 [20:47] eric_: ok then run: sudo apt-get -y install wicd and reboot. You can tell wicd to use eth1 as the wireless device and it will work. From what I've seen network manager expects wlan0 [20:47] i've got e153 and e180 both with 2.31. natty hides the icon on the desktop that was visible in 10.04 [20:47] h_: yes, there is also an experimental PPA for Gnome3 in Natty [20:48] , will give it a go thanks [20:48] makara: its not a huawei, (ZTE mf626), but while searching I often cam across posts with huawei problem/suggestions, they seem to be not *that* different [20:48] *came [20:49] ActionParsnip, isn't gnome3 what unity is supposed to be in natty? a desktop interface [20:49] guntbert: it works sometimes. that's the thing. its so unpredictable [20:49] !unity | h_ [20:49] h_: Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. [20:51] ActionParsnip, ahh, so gnome3 is somehow the core of the desktop interface, right? i'll check the link [20:51] makara: I fear that I lead you a little astray - but if it "works sometimes" then try to look into /var/log/syslog when it does and when it doesn't so you can maybe find a reason [20:51] guntbert: no thank you. i learn about reading the logs [20:51] i cannot login on xubuntu [20:52] h_: its gnome 2 in natty but wuith some gnome 3 bits if I remember rightly [20:52] all was going well for a while (im new) and then one day went to turn it on and it was the first time it asked me to "login" at the gui login [20:53] poshisfat: log in then... [20:53] i then went to login with my password and it then just brought me back to the gui login [20:53] guess my question now is : why does natty assign an 'auto usb0' option to the e153 and not to the e180 even when they use the same firmware? [20:53] ne suggestions? [20:54] poshisfat: is the password correct? [20:54] poshisfat: how much free space do you have? [20:55] yes for sure i can login if i go into the terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) [20:55] i have alot of space - like 10 gigs [20:57] poshisfat: if you log in at the cli then run startx is it ok?

[21:13] hi, could anybody check his samba server for an hidden "backup" share, I had one but there is nothing in smb.conf, share points to /var/backup [21:13] makara: /var/cache/apt/archives/ is empty? [21:14] Hello [21:14] hey logan [21:14] : wireless works in w7 and osx just not ubuntu [21:14] Woops [21:14] !clone > makara [21:14] makara, please see my private message === Logan is now known as Guest54714 [21:14] : might be a driver problem? [21:14] Anyways I fixed My java [21:15] hey logan [21:15] exutux: !clone to not save bandwith, afaik. [21:15] I was wondering [21:15] Is there anyway To make a process allocate more ram? [21:16] Like changing the priority [21:16] qin: what do you mean? [21:17] qin: not a sausage [21:17] exutux: makara said that he want to save bandwith, let me check that link, before I will say something silly. [21:18] Can an application i download using apt-get in any any damage my system? Are all packages downloaded that way somehow verified before they're made available? [21:18] qin: I don't understand what means "save bandwidth" [21:18] makara: In synaptic, check cache policy. [21:18] *in any way [21:18] exutux: Do not download same package twice, yes, very exotic idea. [21:19] , shall i remove network manager? [21:20] Eric__: what encryption do you use? [21:20] WEP is what wicd says but I believe its WPA [21:20] Eric__: those are different OSes so are of no consequence [21:20] qin: ok, i thought i set this properly, but now it says 'only delete packages that are no longer available' [21:20] are u still able to help me out...i did start x [21:21] qin: he said that wants keep packages installed on one pc and put its on another machines...btw I cannot understand "save bandwidth" again.. :/ [21:21] Eric__: then try both [21:21] poshisfat: do you get a desktop [21:21] yes [21:21] makara: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy [21:21] qin: i imagine when it looks for updates it sees new versions and deletes my archives [21:21] Eric__: try with no encryption too, not all interfaces can connect to WPA under linux [21:21] : have but no joy, might need headers or something? [21:21] Eric__: headers of what? [21:21] thanks exutux, looks complex, but i'll take a look [21:22] exutux: Yes, sorry, cannot remeber all facoids ;( [21:22] : dunno encryption type or something [21:22] : well thats a shame :( [21:22] exutux: i don't have bandwidth at home, only at work. so i download packages there and copy to home pc. i want debians to stay on my work pc [21:22] : does it sound like a driver problem to you? [21:23] : or what is your opinion so I can do some digging on that [21:23] Eric__: try with wep, you will need to tweak to router [21:23] makara: well do you use same Ubuntu version? at work and home? [21:23] now suppose my friend wants ubuntu too, so have to get all the apps all over again 'cause she pays per mb [21:23] yes parsnip i get a desktop [21:23] : Do i also need to remove network manager? [21:23] exutux: indeed i do [21:24] makara: o so look for factoid !clone in ubottu [21:24] i also created a new account called admin and can login with that...however still cant login with my original account [21:24] makara: you can do that by dpkg command to [21:24] Is everything in the main (apt-get) repository safe? Can everything be relied upon with regards to system security? [21:24] too* [21:25] you'd think i could just copy the files across somehow... [21:25] hello, how can I install hotway and hotsmtp so I can access mail in evolution? [21:26] poshisfat: ok then we know it's your user. If you boot to root recovery mode and run: chown -R foo:foo /home/foo change foo to your username. E.g. chown -R andy:andy /home/andy [21:26] felipe_Brz: there is a security team which endeavours to release patches for any security issues that are found out about, so as long as you use the security repository as well and keep up to date I would say you'll be at least as safe as you would with any other Linux distro [21:26] poshisfat: then reboot by running: reboot then try to logon [21:26] makara: apt-get got download only option from which you can copy the deb to external harddrive and install it anywhere you need with dpkg [21:26] nevermind [21:26] makara: http://paste.ubuntu.com/655323/ this is from dpkg man [21:27] makara: very easy [21:27] felipe_Brz: there is no such thing as a 100% secure system though, of course. So there's no guarantee there won't be single security issue [21:28] makara: another way is to install packages from live cd [21:29] makara: apt-cdrom command [21:29] heey fellow losers, I need some help with a problem... [21:29] try again [21:29] i have applications that only a single user will use. ie. tomcat/maven/ant. where should i store these binaries? currently i have them in /opt but i have to sudo to start tomcat and i want to avoid that. [21:31] !aptoncd | makara [21:31] makara: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [21:31] centr0: ~/bin/ will work (and if it exists, it's automatically added to the user's path too) [21:32] funkyHat: Hmm.. I see.. I only have only used ubuntu for a few months you see.. I mean.. there's no risk of me getting 'viruses'(for want of a better word) or an otherwise intentional vulnerability through apt-get? === noob2 is now known as noob [21:32] anyone help with wireless on a macbook pro? [21:32] Flannel: thanks. how about apps that have config files bundled in a dir. would it make sense to put them in ~/bin? [21:33] felipe_Brz: as long as you don't add sources to /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d, or use add-apt-repository, and as long as you don't run random scripts you download from the internet, there is virtually 0 chance of you getting any kind of malicious software via apt-get [21:33] <_trine> is it possible to go back to 9.04 from 11.04 [21:33] funkyHat: ok thank you [21:34] <_trine> 11.04 seems to have made a mess [21:34] I'm using a usb dongle/modem (well a skype s2 phone on Three in the UK to be precise) to connect to the internet and sometimes when I knock the cable it disconnects and then the device doesn't show up in Network Manager until I do a restart yet it shows up when I type lsusb in the terminal. My question is this... Is there a way to get the device to work again without doing a restart? [21:34] can I make a window grow in step-wise fashion horizontally or vertically?? [21:34] kde [21:35] felipe_Brz: it is possible for a script you download to add its own sources to apts sources lists, if you run it using sudo or if it asks for your password (but you should not run downloaded scripts at all without knowing you can trust them). As long as you don't do that, apt uses cryptographic signatures and checksums to make sure that every package downloaded and installed is from a trusted [21:35] source [21:35] .list [21:36] who can help me? [21:36] i can login with my original user...it keeps bringing me back to gui login [21:36] cant* [21:37] i can login with my other user and xserver [21:37] im also using the correct pswd [21:37] , just for your information it seems that broadcom drivers for Macbooks aren't working correctly [21:38] hi [21:38] is anyone here able to help me?

It's being served out to client for diskless boot via NFS. The OS however does not recognise any hardware attached to the nodes. Anyone know what I'm missing to get the hard drives to be recognised?

[22:37] when I try to go into windows now that I insatlled ubuntu, I get an acer recovery thingy [22:37] acer e-recovery windows xp [22:38] ariqs: is it checking the file system? [22:38] it's trying to restore it to factory default [22:38] from user backup [22:38] from cd/dvd exit [22:39] if I hit exit it restarts the computer instead of booting up windows [22:39] right, so I have purchased an album in Banshee from the UbuntuOne Music Store, on my downloads page in Banshee it is still saying "queued", and on one.ubuntu.com/files, the album is not even showing up. Is there anything I need to do to get the album onto my computer? I have asked in #ubuntuone and duanedesign has said he can see nothing wrong with it, is there anything I can do to speed this up, even though it has been 9 hours so f [22:39] ar [22:41] when I try to go into windows now that I insatlled ubuntu, I get an acer e-recovery thingy. It gives me the options of: restore to factor default, restore from user back-up, and exit. If I hit exit then it restarts the computer instead of loading windows. Why did installing ubuntu on another partition mess up windows? and how do I get windows working now? [22:43] ariqs: I have Acer too. Are you sure you select right entry in grub menu? [22:43] ariqs, I'm going to bet that you're booting the recovery partition, not the windows partition [22:43] ariqs, which is what kamidi just said [22:43] Recovery option should be there but there should also be option too boot to windows [22:43] ariqs, often the recovery is /dev/sda1 and Windows is /dev/sda2 [22:44] ariqs, and sometimes it's not clear in Grub which is which [22:44] so grub has to be modified to goto /sda2? === EgyParadox1 is now known as EgyParadox [22:45] ariqs: no, there propably is entry for booting to windows and not to recovery [22:45] How do you import music into Banshee from an iTunes library?

I don't have XP any more but the recovery partition is my only copy of windows so I kept it. I bet your install messed up with the boot entry. [22:48] ariqs, check in /boot/grub and see if you are pointed to the recovery partition or to a bootloader for the recovery partition [22:49] anyone here know ow to setup a redirect page for url capitalization?

I normally have my ubuntu 11.04 laptop plugged into my hd screen so the screen gets sound theough hdmi- it works fine. I've unbplugged it and come on holiday, and the sound throught the laptop speakers doesnt seem to be working. It plays the normal 'dubum' sound when the login screen comes up, so clearlt eh drivers and hardware is working. but I cant get any sound to play once I'm logged in. I've tried alsa mix [23:00] er in the terminal, and all the controls for all the mixers I can find anywhere. Also a rebbot hasnt helped. but do get the sound still when the login screenc omes up. any ideas? [23:03] when ubuntu loads GDM this shows up at the bottom corner "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator." [23:03] edmund2, I have a thought, see if bios has any settings for the sound or maybe there is an fn key to send sound through hdmi or something like that [23:04] and gnome is looking like crap now [23:04] quit [23:06] . [23:08] poshisfat: come back do you have solved? [23:09] so I have an alternate installer iso for 11.4 amd64, and I'd burn it but burner unavailable. I have an ext drive with lots of free space tho, can I put it on a logical partition? it's connected via an esata cable [23:09] exutux yes its all good again i had taskbar disabled in my panel 2...thank you so much...you have been so much help [23:10] right now just need to boot it [23:10] poshisfat: ok np [23:11] umm... I'm trying to do a screencast with ffmpeg, and audio from my microphone won't record... [23:11] oh, and what's a -good- (solid, easy to edit stuff) midi only (no audio) sequencer? [23:11] Anyone know of a reason why my 10.10 ubuntu sleeps after 10 mins of idle, even though power management and screensaver are turned off? [23:12] tired? [23:12] nsadmin2 - check out ubuntu ultimate for studio bizness, or pull some of the apps from the repos [23:12] nope, doesnt seem to be a fn button, and I accidently turned off the screen, and it wouldnt come back on- requiring me to have to turn it off with the button... :( [23:13] xbmcuser, have you used any of that? [23:13] and in the sound preferences I select internal audio instead of hdmi profile, like it was on before, so it should know to use the internal audio.. [23:13] nsadmin2 i haven't had a chance to look at many apps yet, but it's a slick distro with "everything included" - should find what you're chasing. [23:14] it's different from ubuntu? [23:14] no, just customized for gfx + sfx.. [23:14] nsadmin2, completely unsupported [23:14] or, does it use ubuntu as proper subset? [23:14] why do i get "connection refused" for my ssh connection in terminal ? I am trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/enable-secure-shell-ssh-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ [23:14] xbmcuser, please dont recommend ultimate here [23:15] bazhang - righto, seemed like a good place to fish for apps though. [23:15] selected a profile I've never used beofre and its working- slightly bad sound quality, but It'll do [23:16] hi. trying firmware upgrade for huawei modem, but the upgrades all in EXE. tried wine and win7 from a VirtualBox without success [23:16] bazhang, actually, I appreciate the pointer... as he made the recommendation, he was in service to what I asked [23:16] ideas? [23:16] thanks for the help w30 [23:16] hi there I am trying to make it so the obsidian coast color-theme is my default one so when I run something as root say dolphin the color scheme is obsidan coast I have replaced all files in /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktop-theme and there is no default file ?? there has to be a file that I can swap out right? Question is where is that file [23:17] emmkai, does your server ssh ask for permission granting for your client? [23:17] hey guys .. does anyone know how to loosen up key action on a standard (membrane) keyboard? I have a Logitech MK700 here but its tiring on my fingers to type (keys have become "stiff" over the last year) [23:17] meanwhile, I want to boot this iso. can I just write it to a primary partition? or what can I do? [23:17] emmkai, mine does the first time. [23:18] are the alternate installer isos bootable? [23:18] nsadmin2: sure [23:18] w30: i put in "ssh username@hostname" and I simply get "connection refused", although, i am not sure whether i got the right hostname (IP address of server), so... isn't it the ip address for my internet connection if i put "ifconfig -a" on my server machine ? [23:19] emmkai - sound like the wrong ip/port to me, authentication refused may be a user/pwd issue [23:19] All: Having a minor Apache problem, Write up at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11103053#post11103053 Who can help? [23:19] emmkai: is that server in your LAN? [23:19] no [23:20] emmkai: so it is remote server? [23:20] right [23:20] emmkai: and you don't know ip address? [23:21] right [23:21] emmkai: public ip address...not private [23:22] have you forwarded port 22 to the server? [23:22] emmkai, is your server behind a router or just facing the internet provider? [23:22] exutux: wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//' [23:22] emmkai: so you need a miracle if you don't know ip :p btw that server must be natted for port 22 on remote router too [23:22] exutux, so I guess I have some choices here, one I don't have presently is to burn a cd... but, I could put it somewhere on the external drive... but if I do that, how do I arrange to boot the iso? [23:22] ok, so how about FTP / SFTP ? can i do that ? [23:22] ActionParsnip: isn't my problem [23:23] make a file server on my ubuntu [23:23] remotely [23:23] nsadmin2, boot the alternate installer? using grub2? [23:23] emmkai: you can install openssh-server and you will get an sftp server [23:23] Hello, I want to let my friend execute some scripts, can I limit the amount of things he may execute? And limit his ram usage? [23:23] nsadmin2, there is no live environment, it's install only, you realize [23:23] ActionParsnip: so if he cannot access on that remote server...he cannot get public ip [23:23] ActionParsnip iv'e got openssh-server installed [23:23] exutux: pretty much :( [23:23] bazhang, which I have installed on my internal. can you provide a howto link? [23:23] ActionParsnip: :D [23:24] can i use it without VPN, over the internet ?

[23:24] well, oviously :) [23:25] hmm, maybe I don't have to move it to the external [23:25] s/van/can [23:25] emmkai: is there anyone at the remote site? [23:25] exutux: i have both the target remote server in front of me, and the computer i wanna connect with in front of me, on different networks [23:25] alex--: could probably set up a vps or vm or something [23:25] cool, I'll check that out (didn't know grub could do that) [23:26] CoJaBo: then i'm giving him too many rights [23:26] exutux: either i need ssh or sftp [23:26] bazhang, nsadmin2: alternate CD does provide a recovery terminal as well, [23:26] emmkai: openssh-server gives both by default :) [23:26] alex--: what do you want to restrict [23:26] hello :-) [23:26] CoJaBo: only let him execute some php commands, but not all [23:27] hmm, so you can boot into a shell and fix stuff? that's an idea debian shoulde adopt [23:27] emmkai: your problem sounds interesting! what are you trying to do? [23:27] emmkai: you need to know remote public ip [23:27] alex--: ohio safe mouse? [23:27] exutux: right, how do i find it ! [23:28] alex--: php safe mode? * [23:28] CoJaBo: what's that? [23:28] stephenh: i have one machine (ubuntu) collecting data, i want to access it through the internet [23:28] simple [23:28] emmkai: go on that server and type command that ActionParsnip saids [23:28] hold on a sec...does ubuntu support firmware upgrades for huawei modems? [23:28] ok [23:28] so what's the problem? [23:28] alex--: google php safe mode [23:28] sounds simple enough [23:29] exutux: what was it ? [23:29] emmkai: and config remote router for forward 22 ssh port to the local server ip [23:30] what was the command [23:30] 01:22 < ActionParsnip> exutux: wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//' [23:30] emmkai: ^ [23:31] CoJaBo: Warning: This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0.

For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [23:37] CoJaBo: he can do everything at the vps then [23:38] adzy: re: /dev - this is probably a good place to start http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/dev.html [23:38] mattalexx: use: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads it shows the line to add to sources.list and how to import the key. You can then install it using software centre / apt-get [23:38] adzy, best to go to Barns and Noble and spend about 30 bucks and get a Linux book the size of a laptop and the thickness of a two by four [23:39] adzy: If you really want to learn all about linux you should try linux from scratch [23:39] Anyone had any luck with Spotify for Linux?

[23:41] sorry [23:41] adzy: I'd suggest against gentoo because gentoo has spcific ways of doing things that aren't really applicable to other linux versions [23:42] linux_inferno, Slackware was my teacher [23:43] hmm... ok, searching has uncovered this unetbootin thing... so it writes grub config sections? [23:43] where does apt-get insall put files??? i downloaded the abs-guide but where will it be?

[23:45] Hi all! Where are the settings for the network cards stored? [23:45] dsnyders: /etc/network/interfaces [23:45] dsnyders: but i'm not very sure [23:46] other people: correct me if i'm wrong! [23:46] May I ask a question, it's not about Ubuntu, but this channel. [23:46] dsnyders: server or desktop platform ? [23:46] alex, /etc/network/interfaces doesn't have the information in it. [23:47] dsnyders: server is indeed /etc/network/interfaces, desktop is handled by the network manager applet [23:47] dsnyders: If you're using NetworkManager then /etc/NetworkManager/ . If you're using ifup/down, then /etc/network/ [23:47] Ynodde_, desktop [23:47] or probably elsewhere than /etc/NetworkManager for non-system connections, but I don't know that [23:47] alex--, well network-manager (and the situations that inspired its creation) have caused some confusion, but that is the main networking config file [23:47] dsnyders:search for the network connections app [23:48] thanks for the links guys, i think i have a few days of reading and learning ahead of me ;) [23:48] in the deskbar or what its called [23:48] RyuGuns: ask away [23:48] Okay..

[23:52] i give up. install windows, upgrade modem firmware, reinstall linux [23:52] dsnyders:there is a gui for it, quite easy [23:52] crazy day for me tomorrow [23:52] dsnyders,:in the top of your screen on the right [23:52] makara: got a buddy with a spare 5 mins with a windows pc? [23:53] anyway... do people like unetbootin? or know of any problems with using it? [23:53] alex--: what do you want to prevent? [23:53] nsadmin2: never had an issue with it [23:53] CoJaBo: i want to limit him into the command he can execute [23:54] CoJaBo: or let him only execute files i made [23:54] ActionParsnip, cool... so is what it does to alter grub config? then when booting, grub does all the work? [23:54] Can someone help me get my microphone working with ffmpeg? [23:54] alex--: if you strictly want only pre-defined scripts, why not make a web interface our something? [23:54] my ubuntu install freezes on any of the options (try without install/ install/ check cd). any clues? [23:55] CoJaBo: because the script itself is being called from another website [23:55] Ynodde_, I looked at the gui. It had two interfaces: auto eth0, and eth0. Since I use a static IP address, I looked at eth0. It was configured as DHCP. I didn't bother looking at Auto eth0 because ifconfig says eth0. [23:55] nsadmin2: a boot loader is added to the USB to boot the squashfs from the ISO [23:55] owen1 try the alternate cd. [23:55] owen1: test your RAM [23:55] http://askubuntu.com/questions/55168/regarding-folder-synching-mapping [23:55] thank you [23:55] Ynodde_, Of course, my configuration is in auto eth0. [23:56] ActionParsnip: what do u mean? [23:56] nsadmin2: the bootloader loads first and gives the options available, that then kicks off the desired action [23:56] owen1: all those things run in RAM. There is a RAM test on the CD so you know that your RAM is healthy [23:56] right, that'[s the normal part [23:56] dsnyders:on client i always use gui, especially on laptop configs ;) [23:56] BTW, why is the network interface gui in System->Preferences? I thought that was for the user settable stuff like screen savers, etc. [23:57] dsnyders: there is usualy an icon on the panel [23:57] alex--: what, exactly, are you trying to do? [23:57] hey everybody, I'm having a problem with my wifi settings. Since I'm running natty I can't connect to wireless networks, it says "firmware missing". what could be wrong here? [23:57] ActionParsnip: testing now [23:57] mikeIsNew: what is the product line from: sudo lshw -C network [23:57] dsnyders, I'd assume those would be in User -> preferences (or something like that) [23:58] ActionParsnip, the name in the gui and on the panel doesn't match ifconfig. That's why I couldn't find it. [23:58] mikeIsNew, could be that you have an interface card that requires firmware and it's not present [23:59] dsnyders: It's in System -> Preferences because network connections in Ubuntu are established at user login and aren't systemwide by default [23:59] Could somebody help? Thank you http://askubuntu.com/questions/55168/regarding-folder-synching-mapping [23:59] nsadmin2, considering that the network IP address affects the whole machine, I would have thought it would be in System->Administration.
