[00:00] even aplay-ed and found the actual HDMI device, but it wont actually produce audio. === ade is now known as Guest56740 [00:01] KaZumaKat, and its not muted in alsamixer [00:01] well, thats where it goes funky [00:01] according to alsamixer, its not muted, but at the same time, it has no volume sliders. [00:01] soo... [00:01] errrr! my Maverick is shutting down by itself a lot recently.......I thought it was cuz of the overheating (laptop).....but now I'm thinking could it be a virus?......plz someone help [00:02] virus? on linux? === adam_ is now known as agike [00:02] KaZumaKat, there are *nix viruses you know.......they're just VERY rare. [00:02] gotta crash now [00:03] escott: thank u [00:03] * KaZumaKat is kinda thankful he grabbed clamAV. [00:03] Hi all! i accidentally installed Adobe Acrobat Reader from a packet i downloaded on the adobe-Homepage.. now i want to deinstall it, since document viewer suits my needs more than AR does.. how can i deinstall it? i couldnt find it in synaptic PM...? [00:04] funkeyy: of course not if you installed it from something that is not a .deb [00:04] anyway, alsamixer says HDMI audio out not muted, but has no volume sliders. What to do? [00:04] okay so how can i deinstall it then? [00:04] does anyone know if there is a way to change the panel icon in ubuntu 11.04? [00:04] what do I need in mtab to make a non root drive visible to me? when I try to access the drive I get an error saying I don't have enough permissions to view it [00:05] is there a software/application that will covert your speech to text on 11.04? [00:05] funkeyy, remove it with rm [00:06] funkeyy: you take apart the install package, figure out piece by piece where and what was put onto your system, and remove them, piece by piece [00:06] escott, i dont know the packet-name [00:06] Hi, I'm wondering if there is a config for logrotate which dictates actions for individual logs [00:07] funkeyy, if adobe did things correctly it should all be in /opt [00:07] funkeyy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=543045 <- old but may still apply.. and if you did install from a .deb, the official pkg is called "AdbeRdr" or something [00:07] acroread === jack is now known as Guest56414 [00:08] i think i installed it from a .bin -file [00:08] urlin2u: that's the pkg from the partner repo [00:08] does anyone know an easy way to install all packages? [00:08] szal, yep, we are assuming that the user has a clue. [00:09] szal, i cant view that page [00:09] urlin2u: obviously he hasn't, otherwise he hadn't installed Adobe Reader directly from Adobe in the first place ;) [00:09] funkeyy: then create a forum account [00:09] tommyfun, you don't want to do that. [00:09] tommyfun, you cant actually do so as packages conflict [00:09] ok [00:10] I've been using a shared server at school and everytime I try to do something, it hasn't been installed yet, I'm constantly asking the admin to install stuff [00:11] I was just wondering if it were possible to install everythign in universe easily [00:11] is there a software/application that will covert your speech to text on 11.04? [00:12] tommyfun, no and you don't want to unless you need a brick for a doorstop. [00:12] problem; i just downloaded heli-x and extracted it. when i click on heli-x64.sh it just opens it in the text editor. how do i get it to run [00:12] does anybody know library for c/c++ to catch pressing of keys like ctrl+shift+foo or fn+f7 etc. ? [00:12] k, thaks [00:12] tommyfun: if you don't have privileges, you can't install stuff from the repos, easy as that.. and if you think you should be able to, ask the admin to include you in the sudoers file [00:13] Guest56414: chmod +x heli-x64.sh [00:14] Guest56414: ./heli-x64.sh [00:15] in terminal [00:15] hi all [00:15] histo, I'm getting a certain error while trying to run a command, czz@czz:~/NSM-1$ sudo loopdev=$(losetup -s -f new.raw) [00:15] losetup: no permission to look at /dev/loop [00:16] czz, lsof is being run as you [00:16] what are you trying to do?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:27] escott: ok. I'll have to check in logrotate.d [00:28] logrotate.conf doesn't have that info [00:28] jjgalvez do (chmod 777 /media/Pucker2) [00:28] within terminal [00:28] can't anyone help me? :( [00:28] escott: i know that. in recovery mode, there is only one shell. the root shell. i cant log into any other user [00:28] Guest56414: runHELI-X.sh not runHELI-X64.sh [00:28] fizy[laptop], a init=/bin/bash shouldn't be asking you for a password. but since it is you can use a livecd and try to fix things there [00:29] whats your problem val_maio [00:29] I'm a wee bit confuzzled. I'm trying to understand all the services running in my stock 10.0.4 LTS config. One of the services is "console-setup" (service --status-all shows it as "?") but why is the config tool running as a service? [00:29] escott: im not sure how to do that. all im doing is selecting the root shell from the recovery prompt [00:30] how do i instal an iso image [00:30] Datz, its the section that starts with the /var/log/filename and then says rotate # monthly/weekly/daily missingok etc [00:30] WarOp: Thanks I will give that a try [00:30] Like a program [00:30] escott: perfect, I should have checked logrotate.d [00:30] yo, I installed CVS on my ubuntu... when i go to connect to it it fails saying no such system user.... [00:30] Arengorn, what is the image? [00:30] WarOp: I have an inkjet HP 3050, I've installed HPlip, needed to make it working on ubuntu, and that program won't recognize the printer if I choose to connect it via wi-fi [00:30] WarOp: need to reboot to see if that helps be right back [00:30] jjgalvez try this to make it go to all sub folders (chmod -R 777 /media/Puker2) [00:31] If I set z-shell as default shell over bash, will it affect how Ubuntu starts the next time I reboot my PC? [00:31] pmagic-6.6.iso [00:31] hello [00:31] any software to watch TV [00:31] escott: I did not see a bi-weekly setting, do you know if there is one? [00:31] Datz, check man logrotate [00:31] Arengorn, I don't think that is installable it runs in ram, burn it to a cd to use it or load a thmb [00:32] *thumb [00:32] any help trouble shooting 'unity'? [00:32] This is totally horrid. Why cant I specify an image in /etc/default/grub - why do I have to specify a magic number that can change depending on what kernels I install/deinstall? [00:32] vale_maio so if you connect it directly into the computer can you print to it all [00:32] fizy[laptop], what do you mean selecting the root shell? are you trying to login as root in recovery mode? [00:32] norc, what do you want to accomplish? you want to boot a specific version of linux? [00:33] WarOp: via USB it works very well [00:33] and HPlip reognize it as well [00:33] Arengorn, from the pm page. Parted Magic - LiveCD/USB with it's only purpose being partitioning hard drives. [00:33] what i do with an iso program file? [00:33] Oops, further problem - on second laptop I find that the 'Software index is broken' - Upon finishi it [00:33] with a buch of folders inside [00:33] Arengorn, burn it to a cd. [00:33] arengorn mount the iso image [00:34] only if I choose to connect it via USB, when HPlip asks to me [00:34] how [00:34] escott: yet. that is the only shell option in recovery mode [00:34] then access folders or burn it to cd as image then access it [00:34] gmoutiso [00:34] escott: yes* [00:34] Arengorn, burn it/loop mount it [00:34] is a mounting program [00:34] escott: I have a specific kernel I want to load on a server. I have a variety of kernels installed already, and the way I see it, to set a new default I'd have to COUNT the line in which the kernel I want would appear in grub, and insert that in /etc/default/grub, run update-grub, verify that its truly the right one [00:34] WarOp, why would yu want to mount it? [00:34] to save burning it to a dvd or cd [00:34] escott: it's just unusable. I want to specify an initrd, a kernel image as the default bootimage. Not a magic number that is dependent on the entries in /etc/grub.d/ [00:34] unless its already on a cd or dvd to access the folders withing [00:35] WarOp, that makes no sense, but okay. [00:35] i mount it but thers jut a buch of folders inside it [00:35] cant get 'unity' to my desktop--any suggestions? [00:35] so say you have a iso image on HD, mount the image with virtual drive then acess folders inside [00:36] norc, the idea is that you change the filenames in /etc/grub.d and always pick #1 because that is your most recent version of whatever you want (windows or linux etc) [00:36] Oops, further problem - on second laptop I find that the 'Software index is broken' - While finishing it is reinstalling grub.cfg Is there a problem with Synaptic that causes this? [00:36] I meant to say I didn't see one in man logrotate, but I'll check again [00:36] Arengorn, what do you want to do with partmagic? [00:36] escott: What is #1 then? The lowest number? [00:37] fizy[laptop], boot the livecd and chroot in. im puzzled that you cant get in with single boot [00:37] escott: I have a feeling that I shouldn't change the files that apt has put there. [00:37] escott: apart from 40_custom [00:37] i have an hd configured to mac i want to use it with windows and i dont know how i thought partition should be the anwser [00:37] norc, first entry, but grub-mkconfig iterates through the scripts in /etc/grub.d in filename order [00:38] norc, so you could add your own custom as 06 and it would be the first menu entry [00:38] Arengorn, then you want to burn the ISO to a cd, or load a thumb with like unetbootin, so you can boot partmagic and use it. [00:38] escott: Since 06_foo is already the default kernel, I'm assuming I should simply copy 10_blah (which is the one I want) to 05_bar ? [00:38] I'm still not able to boot mythbuntu. wols: setting these in mythbuntu and hitting return will bring up a blinking underline cursor in the top left corner and a second later the reboot. In XBMC, the kernel comes up with a single message: "Kernel panic - not synching: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)"; [00:38] ya [00:38] escott: by single boot do you mean normal boot? i can for the time being. but my laptop has serious display issues, and in the event that i screw it up, i want to be able to login and undo it. being root doesnt matter. its just the only option i have [00:38] escott: naturally that would fail as soon as apt installs a kernel with a lower number. [00:39] wols: I've now also tried USB booting from a flash stick, same problem, "Unable to mount root fs fon unknown-block(104,1)" [00:39] norc, 05 is the theme for me, but yes thats the basic idea [00:39] escott: Yeah so since 05 is the theme already, should I rename this as well? (are you beginning to see how horrid this is?) [00:39] I guess I should try normal ubuntu now. [00:39] norc, my numbers are different from yours i go 00,05,10 etc [00:39] playing with gadgets anyone knows / used radar map on weather.com [00:39] Arengorn, a regular ubuntu live cd has gparted on it same as partmagic. [00:40] ? [00:40] escott: I have a feeling that if I touch any of that, apt will revert those settings in a while. === mat__ is now known as Guest40259 [00:40] escott: And that would be rather unpleasant - to say the least. [00:40] fizy[laptop], no i mean single mode boot (its part of the boot options to the recovery boot) [00:40] but i cant change anything at this hd [00:40] norc, apt should ask before overwritting, but you can install something like etckeeper [00:41] Arengorn, you have to boot a partitoner like the two mentioned here to change the partitions on the hd. [00:41] fizy[laptop], you should look into how to use a livecd to get a chroot control [00:41] i know but there is no options like 'format ' at this HD [00:41] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm getting weird password bugs, my user passwords is hardly recognized (i.e. I need to do the same sudo command over and over until it works)... Anyway idea someone? [00:42] escott: I guess that might work. [00:42] Also, I have lot of error in the log files [00:42] Guest15721, fat fingers? [00:42] escott: Time to reboot and *pray* nothing breaks. :) [00:42] TheHypnotist_: that would be my guess as well [00:42] Arengorn, your leaving out a bit of information, such as where and where and what your doing and with what. [00:42] can i get some help with setting up 'unity' as my desktop? [00:42] escott: i just think its weird that noone at ubuntu central has tested out recovery mode. its asking me for a nonexistant password [00:42] will chk later see if anyone takes my q [00:42] fizy[laptop]: it only asks you for a password if you've set a password for root [00:43] fizy[laptop], something else must be wrong, recovery mode should drop you directly into a shell without getty [00:44] Im trying to format an external HD taht is using the apple HFS achiving sistem i want to put it no NTFS but i cant cuse GParted doesnt lemme format it [00:45] Arengorn, can gparted even see the external, and thanks for clarifying that. ;) [00:45] I get this error (in auth.log) for 20 attemps out of 30: pam_unix(sudo:auth): auth could not identify password for [username] [00:45] yes it can see it [00:45] its named as /dev/sdc [00:45] Arengorn, so when you right click the partition on the external you have no delete option. [00:46] Arengorn, if you have partitioned it then just manually call sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdc1 [00:46] WarOp: Thanks for the help that fixed it [00:46] http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/08/07/1325209/KDE-Plans-To-Support-Wayland-In-2012 [00:46] nice [00:47] when is ubuntu using wayland?

[00:47] ok [00:47] anyone knows where i could find an expert with PAM authentification ? [00:47] Arengorn, sounds like it is partitioned correctly [00:49] Guest40259, are you seeing conversation errors prior to the could not identify [00:49] saw that one. [00:49] Guys, I'm looking at having a webfacing ubuntu, its fully up to date, and in a home environment, from my router im going to be port forwarding ssh, and https ports to the server, apart from secure passwords, possibly changing the default ports for these and configuring it so only 1 (low privelige) user cna log in, can you think of anything else i should secure [00:49] escott: it happens from the begining of the fresh installation [00:49] VOTE E DIVULGUE!!!!!!

Server is not coming back up. Funny, I double checked everything in the generated files and it should have worked. :)) [00:55] norc, well do you know how to use a livecd/chroot to fix things [00:55] Guest40259, could it be timeout related [00:55] How do i run stuff as root? [00:55] !sudo | Arengorn [00:55] Arengorn: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:56] Arengorn, sudo is your best route. [00:56] escott: Nope. As I said it's a server located somewhere in France. :-) [00:56] Arengorn, since this is an hfs+ disk it might have a gpt partition. what version of gparted were you using? [00:56] escott: I knew I should have used kexec. Heh. [00:56] norc, thats no good [00:57] 0.7.0 [00:57] escott: it's so random I can't see any pattern [00:57] escott: could I replace some package of some configuration files in order to fix that ? [00:57] is there a software/application that will covert your speech to text on 11.04? [00:57] escott: ultimately, I'll reinstall the OS [00:58] escott: Nah no big deal. All servers have serial consoles, plus if all fails I can have them set the server back up again. [00:59] 0.7.0 [00:59] Arengorn, thats fairly old. it might be that gparted was writing an mbr partition on a gpt disk === diagnosis_ is now known as diagnosis [00:59] what i do? [01:00] Arengorn, take a screen shot of that HD in gparted, and image n=bin it. [01:01] does anybody know library for c/c++ to catch pressing of keys like ctrl+shift+foo or fn+f7 etc. ? [01:01] Arengorn, there is a command line tool "gdisk" which would be able to tell you if the disk has gpt and mbr partitions [01:02] sent [01:03] Arengorn, post the image, I don't take images that way. http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [01:03] Arengorn, if you open the disk utility and look in the first column next to partitioning what does it say [01:05] seanmc98: as foar as I know, there is no (workable) one.

[01:10] !ask | krwagwithzach [01:10] krwagwithzach: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:10] ive got skype and its not recognizing my mic [01:11] i clicked creat a partition table and it sad error [01:11] but its recognizing my webcam which the mic is built into [01:11] fiber, first thing i would check in open a terminal type alsamixer , see if any of the sliders are down or muted for headphones [01:11] krwagwithzach: Does the mic work with sound recorder? [01:11] then i had 298gb unalocated i tryed to created new/ntfs and then thats it [01:11] Ive got the same issue with Skype on Ubuntu 11.04, the mic doesnt work [01:11] yes it works with audacity [01:11] fiber: Have you checked whether the proper channel us unmuted in alsamixer for example? [01:11] Arengorn, are thise physycally separate drives or are the partitions [01:11] edbian, I think there are overlapping partitions the fat was mounted now it isn't. [01:11] fiber, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA [01:12] urlin2u: He should just reformat the whole thing [01:12] partitions [01:12] edbian, thats wjat I would do. ;) [01:12] coz_ norc: All the channels are on (especially the "internal microphone boost") [01:12] Arengorn, in windows.. are they recognized? [01:12] escott: thanks for the link, I'll check it out [01:12] hey can the people who want to help me got to the chat room #! so its less crouded? [01:12] nope [01:13] but now i dont know [01:13] fiber, mm ok,, not sure then,, I am not the best person for sound issues,, did you check also in the #pulseaudio and #alsa channels ? ..yes? [01:14] RocketLauncher, yeah I am not finding anything that might give an easier way to adjust headphone volumes ,, maybe gnome-alsamixwer but that is also manually [01:14] Arengorn, can you right click the one unidetified partition and delete? [01:14] aw [01:14] RocketLauncher, I am still looking,,, you could also google,,, ubuntu 11.04 headphone volume controls [01:15] hey guys something interesting the hdd still works on linux and all the files are there :) :( [01:16] Arengorn, when mounted the fat shows, but I think you have overlapping partitions, pull off what you ned then unmount it and delete . [01:16] how? [01:16] Arengorn, how what? [01:16] oops dum question [01:17] wat 5 mins [01:17] wait [01:17] 4min [01:18] if it doesnt work ill use a heavy formatation [01:18] I recently received a new laptop (Acer Aspire 4730z) that has bluetooth capabilities. However, after installing 11.04 the bluetooth isn't recognized. I'm not too sure what to do about it though. Any help would be much appreciated! :) [01:18] Coty91, I would start by checking the forums for that exact make laptop. [01:20] Not seeing any forums related to it. [01:20] RocketLauncher, yeah I am still not finding anythin,, I was hoping someone had made a new applet or something for headphone volume controls [01:20] 10.10 worked fine [01:20] i dont know if i did anything wrong here ot not when installing xfce [01:21] i'm using gnome now though, didnt really like xfce [01:21] nope [01:22] so I'm trying to adjust the opacity on windows... [01:22] RocketLauncher: you shouldn't have dumped xfce so fast, I have a slider in the volume control for headphoens [01:23] I use Xfce :) It's nice. [01:23] I have this utility compizconfig settings manager [01:23] diamonds, you can do it in compiz [01:23] how? [01:23] diamonds, open it,, on the left you will see a vertical list of categories [01:23] I have the opacity option open and it appears to be linked to alt+ button 4 [01:23] but what's button 4? [01:24] diamonds, mouse wheel [01:24] diamonds, figure it I would have to myself but I know that is where it's done. ;) [01:24] hold alt,. move wheel.... [01:24] thanks! [01:24] it wasn't working before... :/ [01:24] dr_willis, I forgot about that. [01:24] alt+mouse 4 & 5 shold make a window transparent [01:25] a debateable usefull feature..... :) [01:25] diamonds, if you need help spicifically for compiz you can me and a few other in the #compiz channel [01:25] thanks [01:26] one other thing... [01:26] when I alt tab, the windows are in a fixed order [01:26] ITS WORKIN FORMATATION ON NTFS IS WORKING [01:26] ITS FORMATING :) :) [01:26] diamonds, explain "fixed order" [01:26] Arengorn, good for you.. we dont need a play by play analisis... :) [01:26] how do I make them "most recently used first" [01:27] coz_: I mean if I opened compiz config last, it is always last. [01:27] I'd prefer that if I alt+tab FROM compiz, then alt+tab once, I' [01:27] and we dont need ur arrogance [01:27] m back to compiz [01:27] diamonds, ok you are using either the application switcher or the static applications switcher plugins [01:27] diamonds, the plugins in ccsm that handle the alt-tab have numerous settings you can tweak, theres also differnt switchers you can use. [01:27] diamonds, there are other options,, for example,,, the "Scale" plugin [01:27] coz_: how can I figure which one? [01:28] diamonds, well in ccsm as I mentioned,, on the left are the list of categories,, click on the " Window management" category [01:28] Anyone, I have a laptop where I was upgrading to 11.04 - I fount it with the Caps Lock light blinking, and the hardrive light on. Power down and try to reboot gets a Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block. [01:29] diamonds, there you will find several switchers,, including scale, [01:29] intrader, was this a upgarde from another distro? [01:29] oy [01:29] intrader, sure sounds like the drive is toast. have you booted a live cd and run fsck [01:29] urlin2u, yes, from 10.10 [01:29] sorry... [01:30] escott, I have 11.04 on a stick - what is next? [01:30] I hit windows key, that opened the search thing but didn't focus on it so when I tried to close it I closed empathy :/ [01:30] diamonds, ok in ccsm.. on the left column.. click the "Window mangement" category [01:30] ok looking at cconfig > windows now [01:30] intrader, escott makes a good suggestion, beyond that I would see if the HD mounts from a live cd and pull out what you need and do a fresh install. [01:30] diamonds, enable the "Scale" plugin [01:30] intrader, boot it. fsck your disks, check the smart status, verify the basic hardware is functioning. then start looking at the boot process [01:31] coz_: ok, it was on already [01:31] diamonds, the default bindings are 2,,one is upper right corner of the screen , meaning push the cursor there and if you have more than one window open you will see the effect of it [01:31] looking at the settings... [01:31] intrader, if the hardware is good and it just hung in the midst of the upgrade you could either reinstall or chroot in and attempt to continue the upgrade [01:32] coz_: this is not happening (top right hotspot) [01:32] diamonds, ok try shift+super+s [01:32] what's the super? [01:32] windows key? [01:32] diamonds, yes [01:32] diamonds, the original name for that key is "Super" [01:32] I have successfully created a software RAID array using mdadm but am unable to write to the array due to permissions. I am able to copy files to it if I use sudo in the terminal. Can someone point me in a good directions for setting up the permissions on the array? [01:32] the key with the windows logo, between Ctr and Alt [01:33] JZApples, permissions on the array are just like permissions on any filesystem [01:33] I thought it was "meta" :p [01:33] anyway [01:33] that does nothing [01:33] it opens the dock [01:33] er..... not dock but, launcher? [01:33] JZApples, you probably don't have permissions to write to the mountpoint [01:33] diamonds, and the original logo for that key is a diamond but that is just trivia :) [01:33] meta = another name for alt.. or was it ctrl.. [01:33] escott, i realize that, but i'm new to linux. Where do i set that up at. [01:33] diamonds, ah are you running Unity? [01:33] !permissions | JZApples [01:33] JZApples: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:34] coz_: yes, shouldn't I be? [01:34] It came standard... [01:34] diamonds, thats fine lets change that keybinding [01:34] JZApples, you probably just want to sudo chown user:user /media/array_mountpoint [01:34] is it secretly shit? [01:34] escott, urlin2u: I will do as you suggest - how do I determine if hardware is good? the windows partition gives me Boot disk failure. I will boot the 11.04 from the stick and then please help [01:34] !language | diamonds [01:34] diamonds, please see my private message [01:34] escott, I'm assuming chown grants owner to that user? That is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you very much. [01:34] diamonds, wait try shift + alt + up arrow [01:35] JZApples, change owner [01:35] intrader, I think escott will know more about checking the hardware. [01:35] coz_: that did it! [01:35] what is that setting called? [01:35] anyway that's not what I want, I'm talking alt-tab [01:35] diamonds, that is the keybinding for scale [01:35] escott, that worked like a charm. Thanks a million. [01:35] escott === Ool is now known as Ool_ [01:36] intrader, once the live cd boots run fsck /dev/sdX# whatever the disk partition is. then open the disk utility and find the disk and find the label called SMART and check that nothing is going bad there [01:36] I'll poke around for alt-tab settings [01:36] ola [01:36] diamonds, im not sure anyone rembers the original problem now.... [01:36] diamonds, alt+tab is the Application switcher or the static application switcher [01:36] diamonds, which of those are enabled [01:36] static [01:36] hi [01:37] diamonds, ok did you click on that plugin to see its options [01:37] yes I'm looking at "behavior" but I don't see anything about the order [01:37] escott, how do I stop the xchat so it does not scroll your message out of the way? [01:37] how do I take a screenshot? :) [01:37] diamonds, ok then its most likely not configurable within that plugin let me check the applications switcher hold on [01:38] diamonds, print screen usually [01:38] coz_: you're a peach <3 [01:38] peaches are good...yes? :) [01:38] intrader, copy and paste it elsewhere. im not sure [01:39] and "desktop?" [01:39] diamonds, one setting under Application switcher and the "General" tab is "Focus on Switch" that will not change order but may be helpful while switching [01:39] sorry, show desktop shortcut? [01:39] intrader, hit ctrl-f put in the nd and search to find al lthe posts of that nic [01:39] *nic [01:40] intrader: scrolling up a bit will do the trick (but don't forget to scroll down again when you're finished ;)) [01:40] http://i.imgur.com/JzT62.png < coz_ [01:40] diamonds, show desktop shortcut is not under the show desktop plugin ,,itis actually under "General options" Keybindings tab [01:40] wait wait, sorry. let's stick to the alt tab thing [01:41] coz_ so I should activate aapplication switcher? [01:41] nyoooo! [01:41] ah darn fingers again [01:41] coz_ so I should activate aapplication switcher? It warned of conflicting keybindings [01:42] diamonds, first disable static then enable application switcher [01:42] diamonds, however,, neither of the offer and "ordering" of the windows [01:42] of them rather [01:42] ffffff really? [01:43] so I have to alt+tab+tab+tab+tab to get to one then alt+tab+tab+tab+tab+tab+tab to get back? [01:43] that's ridic. :( [01:43] diamonds, now if you would like to have this feature,, I am sure it is not difficult to code in,, you can go to #compiz-dev and speak with smspillaz,, if it is easy he may go ahead and put it in,, however,, it may not show up as an update for some time [01:43] escott, the disk is sda5 - the disk utility is not showing the SMART one. [01:43] im having a problem with downloading torrents and getting disconnected from my wireless.. i have to do a full disconnect and reconnect, why is this? [01:45] you guys I'm raging pretty hard right now. I'm getting the "mon0 is on channel -1" issue, research says I need to download the compat-wireless source, patch it, recompile and re-install the mac80211...but wireless.kernel.org is down! are there mirros? [01:45] Troy^, weak signal? [01:46] urlin2u, no im like 7 feet from router [01:46] urlin2u, i never get disconnects any other time its not an obvious disconnect either internet just stops and i have to manually disconnet and reconnect [01:46] escott, there is something called SMART data [01:47] Troy^, have you checkeed if your still on the net at these times. [01:47] urlin2u, well yea but its not [01:48] Troy^, the manually disconnect and reconnect is confusing to me. [01:48] i have to do that to get a connection again [01:49] Troy^, disconnect from the router than, even though you get no internet access. [01:49] escott, in the SMART data there seem to have some problems, but I can't tell [01:49] yes disconnect from the router === root is now known as Guest69821 [01:49] i think it has something with torrents using multiple connections but i dont have a problem in windows [01:49] Troy^, does your provider maybe lock you out f your bandwidth is flying? [01:49] no [01:50] it doesnt happen in windows, also other comps on my network still have a connection at that time [01:50] Troy^, anybody else on the network have the skills to knock you off? [01:51] intrader, i need to sign off for the night, someone else can help you interpret the smart data [01:51] urlin2u, no its a home network i am the admin :P [01:51] Troy^, have you accessed the router when this happens? [01:51] no i have not tried [01:52] anyone know of any command line tools that upload incremental changes via sftp? [01:52] but i have a feeling its something to do with deluge and it using multiple connections] [01:52] Troy^, I would try that , but it will need the net to get there at least mine does, it may give more info if you can get to it but not the net in general, not sure here really. [01:53] Anyone, I have some SMART data info that I am not able to interpret. Trying to see why boot is failing - I am using 11.04 on a USB to look. [01:54] urlin2u, yes im trying the deluge torrent channel now [01:55] urlin2u, i might have solved it i just limited the connections in which deluge can use it seems ok so far [01:55] ok so my whole top bar went black [01:56] Troy^, cool I use deluge, but am careful with the setttings, never have problems. [01:56] but do you use wireless or a wired connection? [01:56] see how black it be http://i.imgur.com/Wlk11.png [01:56] Troy^, one or the other mainly wireless. [01:57] diamonds, if you run in the terminal compiz --replace it will reload it, or logout. [01:58] urlin2u: ty [01:58] I am trying to open a burned DVD (that I burned on a Windows system) using Movie Player (Linux) It keeps telling me that I might not have permission to open it. How do I give myself permission? [01:58] anyone know how to switch tabs in empathy? [01:58] does anyone actually use empathy? [01:58] I'm using it to get the ootb ubuntu experience... [01:58] diamonds, I put the fusion icon as a launcher on the desktop for such occasions in Natty it just reloads compiz. [01:58] diamonds, i use pidgin [01:59] pidgin + pidgin-otr > * [01:59] Anyone? [01:59] pidgin less than ideal for irc, imo [02:00] that's what xchat and irssi are for [02:00] yeah [02:00] take your pick ;) [02:00] diamonds, xchat and irssi are excellent irc clients [02:00] Quassel is wat I am using [02:00] I want to try xchat [02:00] irssi was a bit... complex [02:00] but I should probably give it another go [02:00] diamonds, you won't regret the time invested in memorizing the keybinds [02:00] diamonds, irssi has a bit of a learning curve,,more so than xchat [02:01] do they integrate with the desktop notification system? [02:01] on mac this was always an issue... [02:01] diamonds, yes there is an irrsi libnotify integration, just google [02:01] diamonds, not sure,, I have heard of a few issues with xchat on Unity [02:01] diamonds, as far as the launcher goes I mean [02:01] ejv: ty [02:01] s/irrsi/irssi/g [02:02] yw diamonds [02:02] coz_: I'll try irssi... I'm learning vim too tho so I'm not sure I've the time right now [02:02] diamonds, excellent choice [02:02] anyone know how to switch tabs in empathy? [02:02] coz_, isn't compiz fun in Natty. ;) [02:02] while I'm here? :p [02:02] I am trying to open a burned DVD (that I burned on a Windows system) using Movie Player (Linux) It keeps telling me that I might not have permission to open it. How do I give myself permission? [02:02] diamonds: you install a real irc client..lol [02:02] urlin2u, well under classic mode it's fine :) [02:03] should I just switch to classic mode? [02:03] I'm just learning, I don't really care that much [02:03] diamonds, well it depends,, do you like the way Unity is [02:03] I assumed the newest latest would be BEST but that's... it seems unclear now [02:03] coz_: eh... compared to what? [02:03] !best | diamonds [02:03] diamonds: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. 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. [02:03] diamonds, Linux has this weird thing called regressions. Sometimes things are better if they are older. [02:03] Never ASS U ME [02:04] coz_, I have it running great in natty I just have the fusion icon as a launch on the desktop when I occasionally lose the window header, no big deal. [02:04] diamonds, Unity interface as well as gnome3 will be the defaults for most distributions,, certainly Unity for ubuntu [02:04] KM0201: I mean "easier for a beginner" not best [02:04] natty unity [02:04] I just tried to move some files with mv and accidentally typed rm. Anyway to get them back? [02:04] diamonds, Well, easy for a beginner would be gnome. It's familiar to anyone who's ever used a mac. [02:04] diamonds: still, really.. the same thing... if you're really used to Unity, you probably won't like gnome, i was really used to Gnome 2.x, and found unity horrid [02:04] OmegaForte: I'm told I'm using gnome [02:04] odie5533, You're working on linux. If you make a mistake, there is NO undo button. [02:04] urlin2u, you may want to find and install displex app indicator ,, it would probably work better than fusion icon which was reallly desined for compiz 0.8.x an dpi [02:05] odie5533 Pray? [02:05] KM0201: I'm not used to it :p [02:05] and prior versions I meant urlin2u [02:05] aww cmon... [02:05] isn't there a trash bin? [02:05] or an undelete program? [02:05] there is in 11.04 [02:05] diamonds: if you intend to stick w/ Ubuntu, personally... i would stay w/ unity.. [02:05] since gnome 2.x is gonna be gone in a short few months. [02:05] Dragin: I'm on 11.04 [02:05] coz_, thanks I look for it it's not in the repos. [02:06] but don't know how thst would work with a Terminal app [02:06] basically my question is this: "It seems like Unity has some more complications that classic. Are there enough benefits for me to use unity? Is everything moving in that direction so I should go ahead and get used to it? Or is it just as safe/good to switch back to classic and there will be fewer headaches?" [02:06] urlin2u, no I dont think so hold on [02:06] KM0201: ok ty! [02:06] I am trying to open a burned DVD (that I burned on a Windows system) using Movie Player (Linux) It keeps telling me that I might not have permission to open it. How do I give myself permission? [02:06] diamonds, http://youramishdaddy.com/Screenshot.png Is that what your UI looks like, more or less? [02:06] anyone know how to switch tabs in empathy? [02:06] coz_, I found this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/displex-compizemerald-appindicator.html [02:06] hey, anyone in here know a channel I could go to to discuss IEEE 802.22 development? [02:07] urlin2u, here is the home page http://sourceforge.net/p/displex/home/Home/ [02:07] Twist9, This is not off-topic. [02:07] meaning get out or you know something about IEEE 802.22 dev? [02:07] OmegaForte: no, I don't have the windows style task bar with windows listed [02:08] my guess is the former [02:08] urlin2u, when installed,, is should show up under system tools [02:08] Twist9, No, It means that topic is not discussed in the UBUNTU SUPPORT channel. [02:08] diamonds, Then you're using unity. [02:08] coz_, cool thanks.;) [02:08] what's the primary Ubuntu dev channel on freenode? [02:09] Twist9, I don't know. [02:09] Twist9, And why ask specifically about 802.22? [02:09] Twist9: #ubuntu-devel [02:09] Twist9, ah well #ubuntu-dev perhaps but it is NOT a support channel [02:09] Anyone, I have some SMART data info that I am not able to interpret. Trying to see why boot is failing - I am using 11.04 on a USB to look. [02:10] because I'm trying to find out about mesh network capability of the new 802.22 protocol [02:10] is there a difference between standard ubuntu and ubuntu server aside from package selection? are the packages complied differently? is ubuntu server hardened more than standard ubuntu? [02:10] Twist9, Then go ask the right place. Why would you ask in a linux support channel? [02:10] Twist9, perhaps the ##linux channel can help [02:10] what was my first question? Oh right, if anyone knew what channel I should go to [02:10] thanx coz_ [02:10] I'm out [02:11] I guess no one can read MOTD's. [02:11] I am trying to open a burned DVD (that I burned on a Windows system) using Movie Player (Linux) It keeps telling me that I might not have permission to open it. How do I give myself permission? [02:11] Isn't that on topic? [02:11] Dragin, Yeah it is. But I don't know how you'd run into permission errors for reading a usermount. [02:11] Dragin, sounds reasonably on topic [02:12] thanks both [02:12] Dragin: fstab maybe ?? [02:12] At least I know I didn't make anyone angry ;p; [02:12] :) [02:12] In terminal I assume Dice-Man? [02:13] Dragin: hum you could check how to edit your fstab file located in /etc/fstab [02:13] Dragin: there are plenty of docs about it on the web [02:13] thanks [02:13] Anyone, I have some SMART data info that I am not able to interpret. Trying to see why boot is failing - I am using 11.04 on a USB to look. === diamonds is now known as Guest68253 [02:14] hm [02:14] intrader, What do you mean, you have smart info. Did you attach a JTAG and dump the packet data? [02:14] Dragin: or you could search on the mount options too [02:14] intrader: well try wikipeida [02:14] *mount is a cmd [02:14] it gives a not of info on the various smart attributes === needhelp1 is now known as Guest75924 [02:15] coz_, that is nice I made a launcher, stuck it in the natty left panel it appeared in the top panel fully functional. ;) [02:16] urlin2u, excellent :) [02:16] OmegaForte, I am looking at why boot is failing after upgrade to 11.04. The disk utility has a section called SMART data that may have info on why I have the boot problems === t0nic is now known as diamonds [02:20] OmegaForte, many problems with upgrade 11.04 are reported. I was told I needed to upgrade in order to use iPod. [02:20] A few months ago I upgraded to 11.04 (x64). An update a few weeks ago hosed my video. It included an ATI driver update but I was using Nvidia. === nickmoeck_ is now known as nickmoeck [02:21] After the update, the colors were wrong and I was getting artifacts. I checked the Nvidia driver and it read as active but not in use. [02:22] I activated the other Nvidia driver, rebooted, and same result. So I decided to deactivate both === tum is now known as Guest3677 [02:23] Nvidia drivers. Now I get no video at all when X starts after rebooting. How do I fix this short of a total reinstall? [02:24] hello [02:26] OmegaForte, can I reinstall 10.10 and use the backup I made with Smart Backup? [02:28] after installing ubuntu server 11.4 i get these errors. On reboot the file system /boot is corrupted. When i repair this disk with knoppix cd it says it was uncleanly unmounted. after repair it boots normal. But after a reboot i gives the same error. The error message is Cannot write bytes: pipe error. Basicly it does not unmount /boot correctly. Then i installed Debian to see if it was a [02:28] software issue. But the i get about a similar error. When Debian shuts down it says something like this: cannot unmount file system failed. So it seems it is some sort of same issue.. idears ? [02:29] wireless on dell 1505 [02:29] how do I move a folder that is inside another folder that is the same name as the parent folder with shell ie /home/user/foldera/foldera/ I need the second foldera to go into the first [02:30] hi people, i just got Ubuntu and trying to increase my resolution with xrandr, this is not quite a widescreen . im on 1280x800 at the moment, what would be the next resolution in this dimensions? [02:30] intrader, I don't know. I use rsync to back up my basic data and my code, then I just redeploy. [02:30] @Crash1hd move the files first then remove the second foldera [02:31] Lostvoices, 1440x900 and 1680x1050 [02:31] OmegaForte: ok i guess i did something worng them because when i go to 1440x900 it's really messed up haha. [02:32] can someone please help me? i disabled the unity plugin under ccsm now i cant get my desktop, just a blank background when i login [02:33] trying to get wireless working on my dell e1505 [02:33] I found directions for an older version of linux here: http://www.drewgreen.net/wordpress/2010/06/25/dell-e1505-ubuntu-no-wifi/ [02:33] but that directory doesn't exist on my install cd (11.04) [02:33] hi, I am sitting in front of my router, hostapd wont start, I get this error message: "rmdir[ctrl_interface]: Not a directory" the hostapd.conf is pointing to /var/run/hostapd at this section what am I doing wrong? [02:33] <|Slacker|> skpl: enable it again, dude [02:34] skpl, try the classic desktop from the dropup at login. [02:34] Is there a way to specify which version of lua is returned from lua-config? [02:34] Right now it returns 4.0, but only 5.1 is installed [02:35] fatman45, ok better how do you move folders if the folder already exist [02:36] can someone please google that error message for me? all I got is the terminal and irssi [02:36] i helped Twist9 any takers for my question? it is clearly a ubuntu question [02:37] johannes-gateway, you can't bring up a browser with the cli? [02:37] @Crash1hd, you don't. Enter the second foldera and cp * to .. (parent folder). Then cd .. Then rm -r foldera - should remove the second foldera only. [02:37] urlin2u down know how [02:37] johannes-gateway, tyoe firefox [02:37] type [02:37] fatman45, so there is no way to move recursive [02:37] how does one go about finding the appropriate drivers for their wireless nic? [02:37] have to do a cp [02:37] I think i'm in classic ubuntu, anyone know how to get the other back? [02:38] or, how does one figure out what model they have on this baby? [02:38] Reaper, at the login [02:38] is there a difference between standard ubuntu and ubuntu server aside from package selection? are the packages complied differently? is ubuntu server hardened more than standard ubuntu? [02:38] it is not installed, and I would probably need a lot of space for X server and so on [02:38] @Crash1hd it's safer - just my old habits creeping in. [02:38] theres no option at the log in.. it just logs in [02:39] hi folks [02:39] :) [02:39] OmegaForte, would you help with the upgrade problem - does not boot. I was told to reboot in order to get iPod running on ubuntu [02:39] diamonds you can try looking it up with lspci [02:39] johannes-gateway, yes i tried, it tells me lspci is not found [02:40] ok nm [02:40] Good evening everyone === o67pc is now known as the67pc [02:40] i can't upload files using "move_uploaded_file" in php [02:40] intrader, Unless you have dumps for me; I can't help you./ [02:40] johannes-gateway, then whichdo I note?

Any ideas on what I can do to force a specific resolution or get it to detect properly? [02:41] OmegaForte, what should I provide? [02:41] FFForever, I would reboot to start with or logiut. [02:42] johannes-gateway, where do I go from here? [02:42] urlin2u, I booted with it connected [02:42] just google it with "linux driver"?

[02:43] 3945abg [02:43] thats your card [02:44] urlin2u, Any other ideas? I did a few searches but ubuntu does not use an xorg config iirc [02:44] (anymore) [02:44] how can I tell if it's a driver issue or some other issue? [02:45] any idea on "move_uploaded_file" function error in ubuntu ?? [02:45] FFForever, not really sorry. [02:45] because I get "wireless disabled by hardware switch" but can't seem to turn it back on [02:45] normally fn+f2 does it [02:45] @geogeek1 probably a permissions error. [02:46] diamonds, no idea about that, maybe try another kernel version? I guess intel wlan drivers are part of the kernel, so this might help if its a driver problem [02:46] but... [02:46] johannes-gateway, how would I go about this? [02:46] sorry, maybe i'm over my head here :/ [02:46] fatman45: i had given all the permissions 777 to the destination folder [02:47] google: "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless disabled by hardware switch" [02:48] @geogeek1 sorry that is the only idea I have. [02:48] I just set up an apache server that can be viewed outside my network is it safe to just leave it on with onlythe defualt settings [02:48] hm... when I use "rfkill list all" (from a forum) I get "soft blocked YES hard blocked NO' [02:48] then when I do the hardware switch I get "soft blocked YES hard blocked YES" [02:48] fatman45: thanks a lot :) [02:48] so I'm able to turn "hard blocked" on and off :) [02:49] diamonds I probably wont be able to help you any further, as I am stuck here on a terminal only, without access to google [02:49] johannes-gateway, can I help you? [02:49] do you have lynx or curl? [02:50] diamonds can you google this for me: "rmdir[ctrl_interface]: Not a directory" [02:50] Does anyone have any idea on my issue?

[03:08] I just don't want to try stuff and mess things up too much [03:08] diamonds has your problem be described before? [03:08] sort of [03:09] what solutions does it involve? [03:09] diamonds, are you trying to get ubuntu to recognize a wireless interface you have physically in the computer already? [03:09] hi guys, do i need Antivrus on ubuntu? [03:09] one was "get these files from live CD" but it was for an older version [03:09] johannes-gateway, [03:09] diamonds, maybe iwconfig or wicd might help [03:09] Lostvoices, generally no...just use common sense [03:09] rakathan, not sure what you mean [03:09] cool. i'm really starting to like ubuntu [03:09] a wireless interface "physically connected?" [03:10] Like it it internal [03:10] diamonds what is your current situation? you're "trying to get wireless to work" [03:10] can you be more specific? [03:10] rakathan, ok [03:10] one moment [03:11] rakathan, ParkerR johannes-gateway http://pastie.org/pastes/2337321/text [03:11] abhi: Unplug it [03:12] Polah, when i forcefully unplug it, there remain the traces like .trash1000 folder [03:13] abhi: Where the drive was mounted? [03:13] means it is not safely removed [03:13] diamonds, so you're just trying to connect to a network then? it looks like everything is working correctly [03:14] My apologies for the following modespam: [03:14] i broke amarok, it no longer has the media sources functionality. so i deleted it using synaptic. when i reinstall using either Ubuntu package manager or synaptic amarok is still missing media sources. how can i obliterate amarok so i can start out fresh entirely [03:14] it is s 2gb stick, attached to usb 2.0 port, Let me know if you need anything more [03:14] diamonds, what is your wifi network name [03:15] abhi: what filesystem is it? [03:15] OK, it is FAT [03:15] oxyrosis, its most likely your 'users settings' not the system settings.. thus the logic of remove/reinstalling it - wont fix it. :) theres most likely some amarok settings directory in your home that you should remove/rename. [03:16] awesome dr_willis, i'll try that before i reinstall it again [03:16] there is nothing stronger that sudo rm -frv direcotry right?? I'm getting a read file-system only? which it isn't. Very odd [03:16] oxyrosis, the whole remove/reinstall to 'fix' things is a 'windows-trained-mindset' The package manager tools should never touch anything in the users home dirs or settings. [03:16] abhi: Unplugging it should be fine, you can remove the leftover folders afterwards [03:16] diamonds, if you're trying to find a network you can use airodump-ng...if you want to connect to a network use iwconfig [03:17] oxyrosis, its just that many windows apps have a 'clean user settings...' feature :) thats not how the apt system works. [03:17] rakathan, it says wireless is off by hardware switch [03:17] well, i dont see an amarok folder or file after i enable hidden files [03:18] theres 100's of dirs of config files... [03:18] Polah: Won't it rise any errors? [03:18] at least, not an amarok file or folder i recognize as such [03:18] diamonds, the pastebin you linked says Hard blocked: no [03:18] diamonds, never mind [03:18] abhi: No. "Safely removing" the drive only makes sure all reads/writes are completed before dismounting it. Unless you're reading/writing from it when it's unplugged it should be fine [03:19] diamonds, I see it now on phy0...I was looking at dell-wifi [03:19] rakathan, when I click the icon top right [03:19] task manager is invoked with ctrl alt del in windows and there you can kick process or task delaying execution [03:19] diamonds this may sound obvious...but have you checked any possible hardware switches on the wireless card or laptop?

[03:23] johannes-gateway: can't see... do I need to su? [03:23] rakathan: how do I redirect output to clipboard? [03:23] diamonds yeah sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces for that [03:24] diamonds yes, sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [03:24] what's the default root password? :D [03:24] Polah: Have a great day!

[03:24] task manager is invoked with ctrl alt del in windows and there you can kick process or task delaying execution [03:25] cntb: There is none, although you could go to System > Preferences and set up a keyboard shortcut to open up System Monitor [03:26] johannes-gateway: auto lo [newline] iface lo inet loopback [03:26] Polah ok any suggestion for a good combination not used [03:26] @search Scott Cleland [03:26] rakathan: http://pastie.org/pastes/2337371/text [03:26] pastorbelga: #ubuntu has no search bot.

[03:27] and vi is vim. :) in most cases [03:28] johannes-gateway: not sure I follow you [03:28] what am I writing? [03:28] so you opened the file with gedit now? [03:28] cntb: Well you can set Ctrl+Alt+Delete to it if you'd like. [03:28] with vi [03:28] when is the next update coming out? [03:28] dont use vi, its too hard to learn for now, use gedit [03:28] or nano [03:28] goddard: If you're talking about the next version of Ubuntu, October. [03:29] johannes-gateway: I know vi/vim best [03:29] great [03:29] you guys I'm raging pretty hard right now. I'm getting the "mon0 is on channel -1" issue, research says I need to download the compat-wireless source, patch it, recompile and re-install the mac80211...but wireless.kernel.org is down! are there mirros? [03:29] I don't know how to use geddit [03:29] diamonds then use vim, you should add those two lines below the others [03:29] so copy the two lines? [03:29] diamonds, it's a GUI text editor [03:29] johannes-gateway: what two lines? [03:29] hi..wine install windows based softwares..is there any software to install mac(.dmg) softwares ? [03:29] first: auto wlan0 [03:30] copy and paste the existing lines? [03:30] w [03:30] the lines which are already there are not to be touched!

I cannot select any user. How do I add my user to that list? [03:53] admiralvorian nope, that's compat for a kernel older than yours, and it compats up to a kernel that's still older :D [03:53] rakathan, damn!

In the php.ini I have display_errors = On; and error_reporting = Off; By default I don't want to display errors. However I want to be able to switch them on by script. When I add this line to my script: error_reporting(E_ALL); i expected it to display all errors but parse errors for example got straight into a blank page. Am I not allowed to override the php.ini directi [03:55] mbrochh: Your message is incomprehensible to me. Say it in other words, please. [03:56] I believe stev66 's question should be asked in either ##php or #ubuntu-server [03:56] Ok, is this room more for the desktop ubuntu? [03:56] stev66: yep [03:56] ok [03:57] As we normally observe, Fn key is in leftmost position in keypad. But my keypad has Fn and Ctrl key positions altered. Does this make any difference? [03:57] stev66: I don't think you're able to override php.ini, no. [03:57] rakathan, should be /usr/src/linux-2.6.38-10-generic/net/wireless === nisstyre_ is now known as Nisstyre [03:57] fedora 15 DVD has wi fi drivers or not?

When I start UBuntu it should login to my user automatically. [03:58] bullgard4_: Of course I googled the problem and all solutions suggest to go to Administration --> Login Window [03:58] bullgard4_: On my system, strangely, however this is called "Login Screen" not "Login Window" and it has a setting for automatically login user ... but the list of users is empty. [03:59] mbrochh: can you type in a user? [03:59] no its a drop down list which is disabled because there is no user in it [04:00] How to install wi fi drivers on fedora 15? [04:00] Rudolf_: ask #fedora [04:00] mbrochh: In my Lucid this list is not empty. You will probably have to tinker on the gdm configuration (which may prove to be difficult). [04:00] What is # fedora? [04:00] * sigh* ... [04:00] Rudolf_: the technical support channel for Fedora [04:01] I tried it. They suggested am [04:01] Rudolf_: You're in #ubuntu, which is unsurprisingly the technical support channel for Ubuntu, not Fedora. [04:01] admiralvorian I think at this point it would be easiest to just wait for the site to come back up - it's strange that the current drivers don't work for injection though [04:01] Lan ethernet cable as a solution [04:02] anyone know how i can remove libre office? sudo apt-get --purge remove libreoffice doesnt work [04:02] Hello, Ubuntu 11.04 is not detecting my Lenovo s10-3c netbook's keypad, does anybody have any knowledge regarding such issue?

[04:04] abe: keyboard detect? [04:04] admiralvorian you're going into uncharted territory for me; I don't know much about apt commands and source management [04:05] admiralvorian: download kernel source won't get your kernel source. it will simply get you the same source the kernel and its wireless was made of [04:05] admiralvorian: if you want to use compat wireless you download it from linux-wireless.org [04:06] wols_, yes i need to patch [04:06] wols_ it's down :( [04:06] wols_, it's down [04:06] What is the SAMBA configuration file that contains the remembered shares from a USB device? [04:06] wols_, the compat source is not in my kernel source? [04:06] I know :( nothing you can do but wait [04:06] lame... searching "libreoffice" in synaptic package manager brings up everything installed, but using the terminal I get "E: Couldn't find package libreoffice" [04:06] JZApples: /etc/samba/smb.conf ? [04:06] exodus_ms: So there does not exist a package libreoffice. I am sorry that I cannot help you any more because my Oneiric computer is just busy for an hour downloading. [04:08] exodus_ms: synaptic won't give you "Libreoffce" but things like "Libreoffice-common". there is a difference there [04:10] wols_, i read some of it and did a search for the mount point and it didn't find it. It must be in there as something else. [04:10] JZApples: what are you actually trying to do? mountpoints of different servers do't sow up there [04:10] but then your usb remark doesn't make any sense [04:11] admiralvorian: fwiw just logged onto http://linux-wireless.org/ from here [04:13] wols_, I have an external RAID array hooked up via USB and Ubuntu usually remembers the shares, but not always. It might be doing it, just slower sometimes so I manually do it, that I don't know. I basically was curious where these shares are remembered at so I could troubleshoot it further and learn more about it. [04:13] what "shares"ß are you saring out this raid as a samba share or are you connecting TO a share? [04:14] propman_, does that site mirror wireless.kernel.org? [04:14] propman_: but linuxwireless.org is what is needed [04:14] propman_, I'm looking for http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6 [04:14] or any mirror [04:15] wols_, saring out? Uhh I basically mount the drive then right click on the folder in it and click Sharing Options.

[04:38] looks like I'm going to just install bt5 locally and use that :/ [04:39] admiralvorian that is incredibly strange, but I haven't worked with realtek drivers before so they might just not support injection [04:40] admiralvorian but I do know backtrack has its own special wireless drivers compiled for some chipsets - you could try looking into getting those compiled and installed on your system [04:40] k bye === Guest75924 is now known as needhelp1 [04:43] Network manager isn't working for me, so I had to set some configurations manually with the help of wols here in the IRC. Unfortunately, I put my eth0 'down' and when I brought it back 'up' it wouldn't get an IP. So, I assigned an IP manually using ifconfig eth0 192.169.. etc, and I'm having trouble connecting to the router. Can anyone help me get connect again? [04:43] ok i rebooted and now its acting up again. [04:45] endip have you tried dhclient eth0 ? [04:45] endip: how you setting it ?and why you use ip for wols? MAC address should work better [04:45] What? Network manager is working now!!! I have no idea why though. (Kind a wish I knew.) [04:45] rakathan no I hadn't tried that. [04:46] wildbat :: wols told me to use an IP address set manually. I don't know. You're right, though, I'd rather use MAC address. [04:46] i tried sudo chown sprocket:sprocket sf_Data and its not working again [04:46] hao [04:46] 好 [04:47] endip: errr you mean wols a human not Wake On Lan :> xD sorry [04:47] 有没有人？ [04:47] !cn | xiaowu [04:47] xiaowu: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [04:47] wildbat :: I'm still learning about networking in Linux. I haven't had any trouble for the two years I've been using Linux primarily. All of the sudden I got a had trouble with this new PC. Now, NM is working, so I'm happy about that.

I didn't change anything, but mono-light is missing. Any clue why this would happen? [04:47] wildbat :: yeah, sorry about that. [04:47] /join #ubuntu-cn [04:47] 输入那里？ [04:49] wildbat :: I manually setup network info in /etc/network/interfaces and I also used ifconfig command to set the same info. I was unable to ping google, until I went to my networking icon in the panel and click on Auto eth0 and it started right up. Wish I new why it's working this time. Hopefully it connects automatically when I restart the PC. [04:49] i used sudo chown sprocket:sprocket sf_Data and its not changing the owner. and im getting no errors or anything [04:49] rakathan, && wildbat thanks for responding. much appreciated. [04:49] Is there any reason why my icon packs and theme wouldn't load after restarting? [04:50] endip no problem, hope it works out...if it doesn't reconnect you can dhclient eth0 [04:50] endip and that should grab an ip address from the router [04:50] What is the configuration file that contains the remembered shares from a USB device when right clicking on the folder and selecting Sharing Options? [04:50] rakathan, yeah, I'm going to go read up on dhclient right now [04:50] endip, if you use DHCP / NM ~ you should remove the entry in /etc/network/interfaces. [04:51] wildbat :: ok. What will happen if i don't change the entries in interfaces? [04:51] wildbat, will it prevent dhcp from working? [04:53] endip: you will bound to the setting in the interfaces and NM won't work with your adapter. should you choose to use static ip ~ you need to set DNS sever setting to ping google.com etc.... [04:53] can someone help me? im trying to login to my ubuntu 10.10 desktop and im getting a 'grub rescue' prompt === jon__ is now known as skpl [04:54] skpl did you make any changes to your hard drive patitioning recently? [04:54] wildbat, gotcha, thanks. I'll try to use dhcp for the time being, but in the long run I want to manage the network myself in that regard. [04:54] endip: if you wanna NM , remove it. if you wanna use dchp w/o NM ~ you can change the setting in interfaces. [04:54] rakathan: no the only thing i did was install 11.04 to a flash drive [04:54] Hello, I have Lenovo s10-3c netbook of which keypad is not working with ubuntu 11.04 it did not work with 1010 also. how to check the issue? [04:55] skpl and you get the grub rescue prompt when you try to boot from the flash drive? [04:55] rakathan: no, when i try to boot from my hd [04:55] rakathan: it also saysm [04:55] wildat, I'll have to read up on that. [04:56] rakathan: it also says "error: no such device: and then a bunch of numbers [04:56] endip: you can DCHP + fix a IP to a MAC in router setting ~ that's better . [04:56] skpl so grub is installed on your hard drive? [04:56] rakathan: yes [04:57] wildbat, the only issue I'm having now is I'm installing updates and my download speed is really slow. My laptop (which i'm using to chat) isn't having this problem. I even had ubuntu find the fastest server and switched to it. [04:57] skpl what happens when you try to boot with/without the flash drive in? [04:57] Arrrrrrrg. This is so damn frustrating... Whenever I chose any theme, like Ambience for example, the panel doesn't change its color. Also for example Google Chrome, which is set to use the GTK Themes colors, stays blue. What is wrong with my Ubuntu? It's a fresh install... [04:57] skpl also what OS is loaded on your hard drive? [04:58] rakathan: i havent tried booting with the flash drive in because it is an older computer, should i try that? [04:58] endip: that's another issue . ~ DHCP don't affect the speed of the connection. [04:58] rakathan: ubuntu 10.10 on my hd [04:58] WHen I login, for a second I can see that the panel looks good and all but then it changes back to ugly white color [04:58] skpl yes, try to boot from the hard drive with the flash drive in the computer- grub is looking for the flash drive but can't find it [04:58] can anyone tell me how I can go about adding different fonts to the terminal [04:58] skpl you should be able to choose which OS to boot from in grub, ubuntu 10.10 from hd or 11.04 from flash drive [04:59] wildbat -- Right, I wouldn't think so. It seemed like the updates were downloading really fast until it got to the java update and now it's creeping...like under 20kb/s [04:59] rakathan: how will i fix that so i can boot without the flas drive in? [04:59] endip: the speed is depending on your connection and which mirror server you use and how busy they are ~ you have little control over it other then pick different server. [04:59] skpl when you get into your desktop ubuntu 10.10, try running sudo update-grub [04:59] skpl without the flash drive in [05:00] Dynamic: you are advised to add only monospace fonts only [05:00] wildbat -- fair enough. thanks [05:00] skpl it should remove the flash drive reference if the drive is out [05:00] rakathan: ok thanks, i'll go try it now [05:00] skpl good luck === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:00] rakathan: thank you [05:00] abhi no custom fonts allow? :( [05:01] Hey everyone.

[05:45] Gasseus: i'd check the extensions page. Rallydriver busdriver today [05:45] jrib: ty [05:45] drewbert: If you like classic, switch to it. I think it would be supported. [05:45] * jrib notices the bot had already said that :D [05:46] * drewbert I noticed that too. Okay people, well I guess I'm logging out and switching to classic. [05:46] natty is the last classic desktop [05:46] Gasseus: there's a thing you can add to nautilus to do it. Could download image then do it there. [05:46] drewbert: See you on the other side. [05:46] gry: ciao! [05:46] ... how do I log out? [05:47] all my menu bars are gone [05:47] stillParsnip Nautilus? Oh you mean that file browser that goes untouched? [05:47] drewbert: top right button [05:47] drewbert: The button at right top. [05:47] stillParsnip: ah, thanks [05:47] Gasseus: what do you use. I'm a pcmanfm man myself [05:48] stillParsnip uhh... I don't really use a file explorer. Its terminal for minecraft stuff and chromium for web, nothing else [05:49] Gasseus: gotcha. You could make a script to set it using gconf [05:49] meh, it was worth a try... I guess there isn't a way in chromium? [05:50] Gasseus: is there a chromium channel? [05:50] stillParsnip not that I know of [05:50] Gasseus: you could make the extension yourself :-) [05:51] wildbat: I was running those commands as root. I don't think the check disk on it in Windows will work because that PC is not even identifying the "removable disk" correctly (it thinks it is a CD drive). [05:51] stillParsnip CBA if I don't have any simple explanation of the underlying API. [05:51] stillParsnip: Yes - it is a 16 GB PNY flash drive. I have tons of pictures backed up on here, which is why this sucks ... [05:51] what is the better way to do a fresh install? sometimes I have afraid about new technologies that Canonical adds in new versions that I don't get because my config or base package installed. for example: evolution to thinderbird [05:52] Gasseus: might have a whirl later, if you extract the extension files you will see their guts [05:52] stillParsnip: It's funny - because this flash drive worked just fine the first time I plugged it in. This was before I wiped the drive and reinstalled the OS, though ... [05:52] stillParsnip I meant the ubuntu side of the API [05:52] wsbl-uhpd651: what filesystem does it use? [05:53] stillParsnip: I believe it is FAT ... that is what the fsck gave me when I tried running it as root ... [05:53] wsbl-uhpd651 based on your description, I'm inclined to think its an ExFAT drive, in which case, it must be opened and converted on a windows computer before use on linux [05:54] mfilipe, you can add and remove what you don't want generally in a distro, except when dependencies to it are needed. [05:54] wsbl-uhpd651: ok. What steps do you take when you want to unplug the device? [05:55] hmmm never used ExFAT. ubuntu don't support it right? [05:55] wildbat absolutely not [05:55] Gasseus: OK. Two things. Before I reformatted my computer, I plugged it in and transferred pictures onto it in Ubuntu just fine (no problem). When I try plugging it into a Windows PC, it reads it as a CD drive ... [05:55] wildbat: no idea [05:55] morning people, does anyone know of a html/php editor with desgin view such as dreamweaver for windows [05:55] wildbat any flash drive formatted on windows 7 by default will be formatted exfat [05:55] stillParsnip: I have always used the "safely remove drive" option ... [05:55] wsbl-uhpd651 are you able to access the files? [05:56] urlin2u, I know, but sometime the ubuntu team change some applications to help users that I don't know and I use the old app [05:56] kennet: bluefish maybe [05:56] wsbl-uhpd651: good its important :-) [05:56] Gasseus: No - neither on Ubuntu or Windows. Did you see the error message I currently get when I plug it into my Linux machine? [05:56] jrib: ty [05:56] wsbl-uhpd651 no I didn't... mind linking it [05:56] to [05:56] stillParsnip, okay, i'll look into that thank you [05:57] wsbl-uhpd651: are the files ok in windows? [05:58] Gasseus: this is the error: "error mounting: mount: /dev/sbd1: can't read superblock" [05:58] stillParsnip: no ~windows id the drive as CDdrive ~ U3? [05:58] wsbl-uhpd651 Can you read it from a windows computer [05:59] stillParnsip: like I said, Windows reads the flash drive wrong when I plug it into that PC - it reads it as a CD drive. When go to open up the files it tells me "Please insert disk into the drive>' [05:59] Gasseus: Windows reads the flash drive wrong when I plug it into that PC - it reads it as a CD drive. When go to open up the files it tells me "Please insert disk into the drive>" [05:59] wsbl-uhpd651 Ok, give me a second, I have a tool to try to fix that. [05:59] actually... [05:59] wsbl-uhpd651 do you have administrator access to a windows computer? [06:00] wsbl-uhpd651 the windows case is probably a case of messed drivers [06:00] hey, i tried a new Blank DVD it still says blank dvd not enough space [06:00] Gasseus: Unfortunately, the Windows PC I have access to - I am not an administrator on it. [06:01] need help with video output on natty, using nvidia gt-430 hdmi and the display over hangs the monitor, any ideas? [06:01] Lostvoices, for what? [06:01] wsbl-uhpd651 Bad news first or good news? [06:01] 164mb iso file [06:01] Gasseus: Bad news first, I guess ... [06:01] wsbl-uhpd651 what type of files are they? [06:01] Lostvoices, is it a dvd-rw [06:01] a [06:01] Gasseus: They are pictures (JPGs). This sucks ... [06:01] dvd+r [06:01] Gasseus, wsbl-uhpd651: strangly fdisk can't read the drive . i am think the usb flash gone bad . [06:01] Gasseus: That's all that's on there ... [06:01] wsbl-uhpd651 Ok give me an hour and I'll write a script to try and recover them [06:02] actually... [06:02] Gasseus: Very strange. I don't understand how this flash drive could have gone bad. I just bought it !!! [06:03] wsbl-uhpd651: you have 16GB free in your hddrive? i would backup it frist. [06:03] Lostvoices, is that the only one you have, it is a write once. [06:03] wsbl-uhpd651 For now, do this as root: [06:03] So like, if I went back to Best Buy and told them what the hell happened - would they do me right? [06:03] if you have 16 gb space on drive [06:03] i have a reel of blank dvd+r they all say the same error [06:03] Gasseus: K, I'm listening ... [06:03] May i ask an ultra noob question? [06:03] "dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/home/wsbl/usbbak.img" [06:04] wsbl-uhpd651: Best buy won't recover the data ~ for you [06:04] #fai [06:04] wsbl-uhpd651 replace wsbl with your own username [06:04] Lostvoices: Is your disk drive a dvd-r only writer? [06:04] hey guys [06:04] noahbanks, go ahead [06:04] i'm having issues with gnome-vfs [06:04] I want to try out KDE, but I want to be able to easily uninstall all of the KDE packages and bundled apps if I don't like it. What's the best way to do this? [06:04] Gasseus: OK, so this is WITH the device plugged in? [06:04] not its a multi recorded does both [06:04] wsbl-uhpd651 indeed [06:04] wsbl-uhpd651 so that if there is a chance of recovery, it will happen. [06:04] Gasseus: block size? that can be slow with 512.... [06:05] wildbat better to do it safe... I've had issues with bigger bs [06:05] Gasseus: run that "dd ..." command in terminal? [06:05] wsbl-uhpd651 yes, replace wsbl with your computers username for you [06:05] Gasseus: really ~ what happened? [06:05] Lostvoices: The only thing I can recommend, try cleaning the drive itself and updating any drivers for it as well. [06:05] corinth, do you have a thumb drive? [06:06] wildbat: FSCK FSCK'ed it... [06:06] I stuck with a wireless card that isn't working. I'm trying to install drivers without an internet connection. I was directed earlier to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx for help. I'm installing b43. I am stuck on step one. Where can I find the pool folder? [06:06] urlin2u, Yep. [06:06] wildbat The FSCK program ran the FSCK program for FAT-32, which is inappropriate and will break ExFAT formatted partitions [06:06] im going to try to partition my laptop and install ubuntu on there and see if i can get it on my lappy as this is an old computer maybe the drive is broken [06:06] wildbat he had the usb plugged in at boot and fsck fsck'ed [06:07] corinth, you mght just load it to a thumb with persistence and try it out, unetbootin, and the usb writer in ubuntu will give you a persistent setup. [06:07] Gasseus: hmmm ~ good to know ^^ thanks for the info :> [06:07] please ... anybody can help me with resources about gnome-vfs ?? [06:07] Lostvoices: ok [06:07] shivhack, Wassup mate? [06:07] wildbat yes. Lesson of the day: Always format flash drives NTFS [06:07] shivhack: Just Ask. [06:08] noahbanks, are you installing from a CD ? [06:08] I am. [06:08] Gasseus: always use linux ! XD [06:08] wildbat school [06:08] noahbanks, then you should find the pool folder at the root of the installation CD [06:08] YankDownUnder : I made a custom dekstop based on ubuntu lucid, using directly gnome-panel and nautilus [06:08] wildbat: I don't bring my laptop every day [06:09] shivhack, Right....and...? [06:09] YankDownUnder : everything went fine, but special paths are not opened [06:09] gledihan: I've only started using Ubuntu today. How can I navigate to tha? [06:09] shivhack, Ok...now, when you say "special paths" -> are you meaning like the mount points for GVFS? [06:09] Gasseus: K - it must be thinking about it - because I did what you said - and no error message yet. There are a lot of pictures on there, so maybe the backup will take a bit - if it is truly working at all? [06:09] glebihan: I've only started using Ubuntu today. How can I navigate to tha? [06:09] urlin2u, hm....that doesn't seem like the easiest way to me. [06:09] it' gives 'Nautilus can' handle computer: location' [06:09] the same for network:// [06:09] There isn't a way to remove packages installed by a meta-package? [06:09] noahbanks, the simplest way is to use nautilus (the file browser) [06:10] I need some help with the Ubuntu Software Center. I tried downloading the program "Gnome Partion Editor", and I got an error in return. [06:10] wsbl-uhpd651 that is expected behavior. If you have any way of moving that file to a windows computer, I can guarantee recovery of like 95 % of the files. [06:10] corinth: apt-get remove ? [06:10] corinth, okay. [06:10] shivhack, Ah...well, that sounds more like you'll have to muck around with gconf-editor and straighten out the URL's for network and the likes... [06:10] YankDownUnder : how ?? [06:10] gry, If I apt-get remove a package like kubuntu-desktop, won't it only remove the dummy package? [06:10] FazzyPlax - may not be what you're after, but I made a G-Parted CD from an ISO and I think it's indispensable. [06:10] Gasseus: OK. Are you talking about the usbbak.img file? [06:11] wsbl-uhpd651 Exactly [06:11] asl? [06:11] shivhack, What I'd do (if I were you) is to dig through the URL handlers in gconf-editor -> find what works and find the proper associations you're requiring. [06:11] the main problem is the unavailibility of resources out there :-( [06:11] wsbl-uhpd651: the dd command will backup all the data from the usb then can use some software like ddrescue to retrieve all the jpeg if possible. [06:11] Morgz: I was trying to avoid CD burning in order to install GParted [06:11] corinth, yes but running apt-get autoremove after removing the meta package should also remove all its dependencies [06:11] testdisk [06:11] YankDownUnder : yathzee, never occured to me [06:11] shivhack, I'd be digging through the gnome forums - not Ubuntu forums...cuz this is specifically a Gnome2 issue my friend... [06:11] glebihan, oh, great idea. Thanks! [06:11] glebihan: How can I view the root from there? I don't see it on either the desktop or within the file browser? [06:12] YankDownUnder : thanks a lot, you've been very helpfull ;-) [06:12] wsbl-uhpd651 you can watch the progress by opening the properties windows for the file in nautilus [06:12] shivhack, As well, you can get on the #gnome channels on the Gnome servers... [06:12] anony22: asl? [06:12] noahbanks, you don't see any disks in the left column in nautilus ? [06:12] Gasseus: how do I do that specifically? [06:12] asl = age/sex/locale [06:12] wsbl-uhpd651 right click [06:12] nothing is mounted other than my hard drive. [06:13] glebihan, the only way to remove any desktop completely is to apt-get remove every package. [06:13] i like poo [06:13] glebihan: nothing is mounted other than my hard drive. [06:13] zabomber this is not omegle [06:13] im happy for you zabomber [06:13] sorry [06:13] im testing [06:13] anony22, zabomber: This is a technical support channel, if you'd like to socialize, try #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:13] Gasseus: right-click where? Sorry ... [06:13] /server irc.digitalchatzone.com:13373 Delta1:Delta16894 [06:13] sorry =/ [06:13] Delta1: You'll want to change that password. [06:13] bye [06:14] wsbl-uhpd651 like you would open up the file's properties in windows [06:14] corinth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FromUbuntuToKubuntu [06:15] noahbanks, do you see the disk if you run "df -h" from a terminal ? [06:15] My problem still isn't fixed yet with the Software Center bugging out on me for a GParted download. The error returned was: "SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package." [06:15] urlin2u, true but most packages should be removed by running apt-get autoremove [06:15] Well well well, aren't you a handy little gnome, gry? :-) [06:15] corinth: Enjoy! ;-) [06:15] glebihan, not true. [06:16] urlin2u, as long as you don't install them manually, yes [06:16] glebihan, look at the link gry posted [06:16] glebihan: yes. the line says: /dev/hdc 694M 694M [06:16] Gasseus: OK, it's working - because I see the file size increasing in the Properties window ... [06:16] FazzyPlax - can u install it from command line : sudo apt-get update (enter) sudo apt-get install gparted (if gparted is the package name) [06:16] glebihan: it's mounted on "/cdrom" [06:17] What command-line command determines what GNOME version I am currently running? [06:17] urlin2u, that doesn't go against what I was saying... [06:17] glebihan, k [06:18] noahbanks, and is there a "pool" folder in "/cdrom" [06:18] bullgard4 gnome --version or apt-cache show gnome [06:18] glebihan: I feel like I keep asking dumb questions, but where can I find that? [06:18] bullgard4_, aptitude show gnome | grep Version [06:18] hello i have an odd issue that has arisen when i try to load xfce, i believe the display manager isnt working as i cannot see any window borders, also it loads the background i have set for gnome as well as desktop shortcuts and not the ones i had set up for xfce [06:18] I downloaded iwar from the backtrack pwnsource repost, it says it installed but I cannot find it on my system, locate and whereis failed to locate it, nor is it in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin? === tum is now known as Guest61292 [06:19] I wish to mount a SFTP resource as a local hard drive in Ubuntu. How can I do it so that it is always mounted when I logon? [06:19] bullgard4: skip the first hint [06:19] noahbanks, from nautilus, click "File system" in the left column, then should see the "cdrom" folder [06:19] wildbat: so it will automatically engage "ddrescue" after the file backup is complete ... because it seems to be working ... [06:19] glebihan: yes! success! [06:20] wildbat: right ??? [06:20] glebihan: thanks you! I really appreciate it! [06:20] wsbl-uhpd651: it won't ~ it just backing up . [06:20] noahbanks, you're welcome [06:22] what is the best dock for ubuntu 11.04? [06:22] cairo imho [06:22] !best [06:22] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. 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. [06:22] seclm193, Cairo-Dock (glx-dock) [06:22] ;) [06:22] Morgz: Well, the apt-get install command worked (and yes, the package was called gparted). Thanks! [06:22] hai [06:23] yankdownunder, you would take cairo-dock over docky? [06:23] seclm193, Yes. More mature. Yeppers. That, and pizza. [06:23] yankdownunder, pizza? the food? [06:23] fez: hi [06:24] seclm193, Is there another pizza I don't know about? ;) [06:24] lol === Timic_ is now known as Timic [06:25] a [06:25] bullgard4_: gnome-session --version [06:25] YankDownUnder: just supreme [06:26] bullgard4_: It's the one you can see in "System > About Gnome" dialog. [06:26] anyone know how to get ubuntu running in a virtualbox with more then a 800x600 resolution? [06:26] is there a way to install openbox along side of gnome [06:27] osmosis_, if you didn't already I think you have to install the virtualbox guest additions === fish_sticks is now known as XS3 [06:28] glebihan, there is a guest addition for ubuntu? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:28] glebihan, i thought that was just if the guest was windows [06:29] osmosis_, no there are guest additions for every OS [06:29] glebihan, you are right. thx [06:29] osmosis_, you're welcome [06:30] hi any1 know how i change the speed of my mouse wheel on lucid im using a microsoft wireless 2000 [06:31] Hello I have two hard drives grub is on the first the second has an OS already, but I made free space and I want to install windows there. My question is: 1) How do I install windows there? (just boot the CD rom and the windows partitioner will let me select where to install?) and 2) After I install windows how do I tell GRUB to let me boot from it? [06:31] wildbat: will terminal tell me when the back up is finished? [06:31] gnome-look.org is down?? [06:32] wildbat: then I have to run "ddrescue" manually? [06:32] wsbl-uhpd651: yes [06:33] p0a, you should be able to select that space from the windows partitioner [06:33] Whoa I just discovered I run Grub2 and there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst hehe [06:33] !recover | wsbl-uhpd651 [06:33] wsbl-uhpd651: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [06:33] glebihan, ah thanks for the tip. Question 2) remains if anyone knows, how to let grub know I installed Windows on another drive... [06:33] !grub | p0a [06:33] p0a: 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) [06:34] p0a, but installing windows will overwrite the MBR, and you'll have to rerun grub installation from a live CD [06:35] p0a, the links OmegaForte just gave you will help you do that [06:35] wsbl-uhpd651: there are many tools you can use to recover the jpge [06:35] Hello all! [06:35] but that's impossible [06:36] p0a, Nothing is impossible in Linux. [06:36] I have 2 hard drives, A and B, I have grub on A and I boot from A so any change on B wouldn't affect A I think [06:36] p0a, I'm fairly confident AND with great certainty that linux can cure cancer, and end war. [06:37] also make chuck norris cry [06:37] :] [06:37] even express how disapointed i am with natty [06:37] !tab | p0a [06:37] p0a: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:37] newbuntguy, Well, Half of your problems are from Unity. [06:37] wsbl-uhpd651: photorec may be the easilest fo you ~ [06:37] what a let down [06:37] does anyone know about where i can change the setting for what happens when i close my laptop screen to keyboard??? it seems to be crashing my system [06:38] Oh whatever I'll try it [06:38] OMEGAFARTE: what is unity? [06:38] gry: I am using Oneiric. In Oneiric I cannot see a "System > About Gnome" dialog. [06:38] adzy, This is why I don't use mobile technology. My portable system is an ITX box with one of those flip-DVD things, or I take my ipad. Mobile developers are pinheads who deivate from standards. [06:39] is there anyway to play mp3s though my pc speaker? [06:39] skilz, Can you turn lead into gold? [06:39] OmegaForte: Sure! [06:39] WHEN WILL THE TEAM LEARN TO SAY ITS NOT RECOMENDED [06:39] newbuntguy, Ditch the caps, homie. [06:40] wildbat: ddrescue or photorec - which one is easier, then? And what the specific terminal commands that I use once this backup completes? [06:40] OK HOMI [06:40] OmegaForte: I recall one of my old boxes done exactly that, played audio throught the pc speaker. So it must be possible to re-create this. [06:41] skilz, The PC speaker is powered by a 4 bit analog, driverless system. You'd have to connect it to a device that can actually process sound. [06:42] OmegaForte, Yea its time for an upgrade this dell laptop is not cutting it! [06:42] wsbl-uhpd651: photorec it is more interactive . sudo photorec [06:42] OmegaForte: What if I set up the pc speaker as an output device for your sound subsystem, and then playback the MP3 files with any MP3 player software? [06:42] OmegaForte:should i bounce unity or what? [06:43] skilz, You missed the whole possibility of that being shot down. The PC speaker isn't powered by an encoder/decoder set. It's driverless. You cannot pass non serial data to it. [06:43] adzy, And make it a new dell. Most of them work OTB with most debian distros. [06:43] wildbat: OK - pretty simple. "sudo [name of tool] [name of img fiile]" So it would be "sudo ddrescue usbbak.img" too, then - right? [06:43] newbuntguy, Unity was designed for Netbooks and stuff like ipads. Single screen, low powered devices. [06:43] wildbat: What does it do, then - like populate some directory with all the jpgs reference in the img file or something? [06:43] OmegaForte, Yea its lasted 3 years but i put a magnet on hdd accidentially and now its started to fail lol [06:44] OmegaForte: http://www.armadeus.com/wiki/index.php?title=PWM [06:44] OmegaForte:and [06:44] wsbl-uhpd651: ddrescue work differently [06:44] skilz, And your PC can't do that, idiot. [06:44] wildbat: OK - so that is what photorec does? [06:44] OmegaForte:questin was should i get rid of it :and would it help [06:45] wsbl-uhpd651: it try to recover any file. [06:45] OmegaForte: Why not? [06:45] adzy, A magnet won't hurt a hard drive. Proven. You probably caused a cap to offset and output bad power for a tick, and it just let a minor issue develop. [06:46] OmegaForte:thhis is the worst os i have ever used [06:46] skilz, Because PC's don't have APF transistors. Learn electronics. [06:46] wildbat: "recover" mean it does what - actually ... to the file? [06:46] Morning!, coes anyone have a good software load balancer equalent of balance? we are upgrading to 10.04 and this makes for a great time to try somthing new. esp when the old configuration doesnt work with the new version of balance :P [06:46] wsbl-uhpd651: yes [06:46] have to command line everything [06:46] wsbl-uhpd651: try to scan the whole image/device and extract the file out without the help of filesystem [06:46] newbuntguy, No, it's the worst UI you've used. Log out with the LOG OUT function in the bar, and click the dropbox where Unity is, set it to Ubuntu Classic. And CLI assists in Debugging. Get used to ti. [06:47] what a piece of crap [06:47] can i erase the distro's memory of the usb ports? [06:47] especially-corn, Memory of the USB ports. What? [06:48] wildbat: I see. So it then tries extracting out the files to some default location? [06:48] i do not see unity [06:48] wsbl-uhpd651: yes [06:48] newbuntguy, Look down at the bottom of the monitor. [06:48] i mean kind of like in windows, if you don't install the drivers correctly you get "unknown device" and every time you connect that thing you always get "unknown device" instead of getting a chance to reinstall the drivers [06:48] so you have to remove them completely and then try again [06:48] newbuntguy, It's there. You're tstill wearing your stupid goggles. [06:48] wsbl-uhpd651: aka the image file you just created. [06:49] lol OmegaForte [06:49] especially-corn, Just unplug it. If the driver didn't load, or failed to load, replugging it will give it another go. However this won't fix a bad driver install, which you'll have to deal with manually. [06:49] OmegaForte: try googling for pwm audio driver linux [06:49] skilz, For specific hardware. 100/100 your PC ain't got it. [06:50] how do i open multiple terminal windows>? [06:50] OmegaForte, it doesn't work anymore, yesterday i bought a keyboard with 2 hubs included, it worked flawlessly, that is, until i used the 2 hubs, now it doesn't work anymore [06:50] wildbat: right. Good deal. The file size is now at 8.5 GB. I can't remember how much data was on the thing - but it is definitely over halfway done ... [06:50] skilz, That stuff is for things like PHONES that use PWM for tone generation, alerting and getting you to clam them hell up. [06:50] especially-corn, Does it work in another port or system? [06:50] OmegaForte, it works on another system [06:50] OmegaForte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_speaker [06:50] wsbl-uhpd651: 8.5GB ? i think yours is 16GB drive. [06:51] wsbl-uhpd651: it should be 16GB file or your drive is truely faulty [06:51] OmegaForte: I believe I have proven you wrong! pwm converts analog (or, digital audio, a quasi-analog) signal into a serial stream of 0 and 1 [06:51] wildbat: right. which is why it is over halfway finished ... [06:51] How do I edit my keyboard layout (edit != change)? I want to swap my ctrl and alt keys so that using Emacs doesn't hurt. [06:51] especially-corn, Okay. Then you've probably generated a bus conflict. Something a DEVELOPED driver system like windows can handle. Linux'es drivers are written by people who want the driver...Hang on dude. [06:51] wsbl-uhpd651: you mean the dd isn't finished yet? [06:52] wildbat: no - it isn't ... [06:52] wsbl-uhpd651: OK~ [06:52] wildbat: there are a lot of pictures on there, so ... [06:52] skilz, For DRIVER-RAN SYSTEMS. Your PC speaker isn't DRIVER RAN. It's RAW SERIAL. You would need a SERIAL INTERPRETER BETWEEN THAT DEVICE and THE DRIVER..Which your PC speaker DOESN'T HAVE. [06:52] * rww turns down OmegaForte's volume [06:52] There is a kernel module named snd-pcsp.ko which may be of interest to you! [06:52] wsbl-uhpd651: doesn't matter ~ even it is a empty new drive , dd will give you 16GB file. [06:53] OmegaForte, yes, thats what i meant, i want my system to "forget" what this keyboard means because i suspect it still thinks my phone is somehow connected to the system, [06:53] through it [06:53] wildbat: Oh I see. That is kind of what I thought ... [06:53] skilz, Pc manufacturers stopped putting drivers in the bios frontend for the PC speaker four years ago. [06:53] rww: What do you think 'forte' means? [06:53] OmegaForte: This pc is around 9 years old! [06:53] especially-corn, Well, I don't know how to do that, but have you given the system a good power cycle? [06:53] wildbat: so all the picture files I had on there will be captured in this 16GB rollup, then? Is that the idea? [06:53] skilz, Then how are...WAit...I keep forgetting. Debian will run on a toaster.. [06:54] OmegaForte, yep, unplugged and stuff [06:54] skilz, Then take your old box and cram it. === paijo_ is now known as bumblebee [06:54] :P [06:54] Is anyone even on-topic here? [06:54] hello [06:54] especially-corn, Well, plug it in and see what "dmesg | grep -i usb" outputs. [06:55] 16:54 < jmarsden> skilz: ask this guy what snd-pcsp.ko is, if it is not a pc speaker driver :) [06:55] wsbl-uhpd651: it is a 1:1 drive image. you can backup and restore a drive with dd. and from which , you can recover data too . if it is a working drive you can even mount the image file as if it is a drive. [06:55] skilz, A speaker driver, and a sound driver are different. [06:55] Is there any option for exchange email in Ubuntu? [06:56] skilz, Just go to wikipedia and figure it out. [06:56] sup, brobuntus? [06:56] corinth: Evolution? [06:56] Carmen_Sandiego, Make them take off their stupid goggles...Please? [06:56] wsbl-uhpd651: we doing this ~ so should your USB really failling ~ you get a copy of the USB asap , minize the chance of data lost. [06:56] OmegaForte: snd-pcsp as in sound pc speaker :p [06:56] OmegaForte, http://paste.ubuntu.com/660941/ [06:56] jpds: Does Evolution support exchange email and calendaring? I didn't think that it did.... [06:57] anyone running balance on 10.04 or later? [06:57] especially-corn, Is -:-:-.000E the keyboard that was plugged in; and now is not? [06:57] wsbl-uhpd651: if you don't back up ~ you can just run sudo photorec /dev/sdb :) [06:57] skilz, Go sit through an electronics engineering class for me homie...Just learn something...And stop harassing me. [06:58] How do I edit my keyboard layout (edit != change)? I want to swap my ctrl and alt keys so that using Emacs doesn't hurt. [06:58] fail! [06:58] OmegaForte: Playing pwm audio through speaker, with signal generated by software, was very common at a time when sound cards weren't that common. [06:58] wsbl-uhpd651: backing up to harddrive make your data safe and harddrive work faster then USB thumb drive in datarecovery (photorec) [06:59] OmegaForte: You claim to be an electronics expert yet you use frankenbuntu? Shame on you! Shame...... [06:59] OmegaForte, don't know, i did a before and after unplugging [06:59] OmegaForte, everything i pasted was after i plugged it in [06:59] wildbat: yeah - good call. It's good we are doing both. I don't know - I think it the USB just got formatted wrong when initially plugged it - to backup my pictures before reformatting ... It is currently formatted as FAT. Is there a way to reformat it? What format is Ubuntu 11.04 in - or what format does this flash drive have to be formatted in for it to be successfully read by my Linux machine, I guess? [06:59] Frakenbuntu? [06:59] Whats that? [06:59] Ubuntu [07:00] oh..ok lol Just never heard that term before [07:00] rww...Can you save me from this pinhead? [07:00] OmegaForte, look http://paste.ubuntu.com/660943/ [07:00] wildbat: Thanks for all your help, by the way. I have usually been successful in getting my problems solved on here - but not always. Sometimes failure has just been due to the nature of the problem, though ... [07:01] especially-corn, It looks like it sees something.. [07:01] wsbl-uhpd651: linux do read FAT16 and FAT32 ~ but not ExFAT . but FAT is outdated. use NTFS if you use windows with it or else just ext4 [07:01] i think fat can be read by linux flawlessly [07:01] skilz, Did you know fourty years ago we could generate 24 tones over a serial bus to a speaker...That was driven? [07:01] OmegaForte, yes, it does, but it doesn't work as it should [07:02] OmegaForte: Please don't get upset! You don't like to be proven wrong? [07:02] skilz, Did you also know that computer components used to cost more than some cars? [07:02] paijo_: I should think so, because my machine read it fine the first time I plugged it in. So I don't know what the deal is - sometimes Ubuntu is just kinda "squirrely" ... [07:02] OmegaForte: I sure did! === paijo_ is now known as bumblebee === Timic_ is now known as Timic [07:05] Hey guys, I have ftp folders bookmarked in ubuntu, all I have to do is click the folder on my nautilus window and bam I'm there.

[07:16] zabomber, yes VNC [07:16] intrader: nope.. i have that... [07:16] wildbat: so in case I wanted to reformat this flash drive to ExFAT or ext4 - how would I go about doing this? [07:16] sudo Makefile? [07:16] im specifically looking for webbrowser based remote desktop like windows allows via IIS? [07:16] zabomber, Ok, you know then. [07:16] reason being [07:17] is that work only allows port 80 and 443 open and are filtering those ports so i can't proxy through them and VNC [07:17] wsbl-uhpd651: nono to ExFAT~ NTFS or ext4. you can use gparted. [07:17] so i was wondering if there was a mod for apache or something i could install that woudl display a webpage with my desktop... [07:18] zabomber, I see your good reasons and I know of webdav. [07:18] intrader: webdav? [07:18] wsbl-uhpd651: you may need a wipe first.~ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=32K *** this will wipe the drive make sure which sdX you are going to*** [07:19] zabomber, a protocol for web access.

[07:25] rawfodog, type fg or bg [07:25] foreground or background [07:25] my advice to people is to trust your intuition and listen to what people have to say. [07:25] depending on what you want [07:25] thanks ph8 :D [07:26] np [07:26] newbuntguy: dunno if that was random or directed, but listening to people (imho) can make it harder to hear/trust your intuition :) [07:27] sometimes someone will say something that will make you think [07:27] ajay, If yer hardware is "older", don't be fooled into thinking that the "newer" is going to be faster, or better...this is LINUX...whether or not it's supported doesn't really come into the issue...does it work? Can you get things to work that don't work? It's worth a thought. I've made the mistakes of upgrading older hardware only to find that things moved heaps slower...ergo, downgraded and dealt with it. [07:27] true that [07:28] hello\ [07:28] even when it isnt exactly what you are looking for intuition trust it [07:28] ajay, Upgrade to 10.04. It's an LTS version, you're good till 2013.

[07:38] ajay, One way of looking at the entire situation - from an educational perspective - is that if your linux install is crawling, something is wrong. Find what is wrong and fix it. You've educated yourself in the process. [07:38] ramo i would help you but i type way to slow [07:39] YankDownUnder: looks like there's plenty of links online about not using unity, so what's the issue? i don't get it [07:39] <_ramo> newbuntguy: this is nor argument :) [07:40] just admiring my handywork my system OK [07:40] ajay, Unity - AND Gnome3 - have taken a drastic turn to making your DESKTOP into your NETBOOK or PHONE...therefore, alot of functionality has been lost - just due to "corporate" decision...Unity is still a child, and has many years to mature...think on that. [07:40] ajay: in 11.04 you can use gnome2 as you are using at the moment [07:41] !classic | ajay [07:41] YankDownUnder: please explain or show examples [07:41] ajay: 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". [07:41] ajay, if you like Gnome2 I suggest you to consider Xfce. Ubuntu's getting rid of Gnome2 very soon. [07:41] this room helped me in the sence that it pointed me in the right direction. PROPS [07:41] oh, but GNOME 3 is "made of easy" [07:41] wildbat_semi_afk: what does that command wipe, specifically - everything off your flash drive? [07:41] ajay, If you want a real explanation from an "oldie", take it to PM and I'll be more than happy to explain... [07:42] YankDownUnder: I don't want to hear 10 mins of explanation.. [07:42] I need some help badly with GParted... [07:42] wsbl-uhpd651: yes [07:42] ajay, Simple answer: You're going to have to completely "re-learn" the interface and functions. [07:42] waiting for my kvm switch [07:43] so you're saying i'll have to install gnome2 in addition on 11? sounds like a bit of extra space.. hrmm.. interesting that this divide is forming.. [07:43] hi guys, i just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 on a vps (met some resistance" and now openssh doesnt work. service ssh yields ssh stop/waiting. Any ideas? [07:44] ajay: No, 11.04 still does have Gnome2 by default, you just have to switch to it [07:44] ajay, the classic desktopi s already there natty is the last release with it though [07:44] ajay: 11.10 won't, and it won't be in the repos either I suppose. [07:44] ok, so i don't see why Yank won't upgrade to 11 then.. [07:44] ajay, Gnome2 is the "classic desktop" on 11.04 => so you'll have to remove the scrollbar overlay and Unity in order to "create" a proper Gnome2 desktop...however, that being said, there are some issues you'll end up running across because the Ubuntu folks have decided FOR YOU that Unity is best...ahem... [07:44] I was trying to use GParted earlier, but when I was trying to adjust my windows partition size in order to make more room for my Ubuntu one, I found out that my hard drive supposedly has only one partition on it. [07:45] YankDownUnder: maybe it's time for a new distro for ya then? [07:45] ajay, As I've stated, 11.04 ain't all that great on older machines - new and fast and "cutting edge" as it sounds - we're talking about older hardware...mmmm... [07:45] FazzyPlax: that's normal behaviour? :) [07:45] wildbat_semi_afk: OK - it's telling me that the "photorec" command is not found. Do I have to install this first?

[07:47] funny thing is amazon has the same one for 8 dollars less .oh well [07:47] FazzyPlax, did you install ubuntu from a live windows session? [07:48] gac: I don't believe I installed with Wubi. It was an offline installation.

[07:50] FazzyPlax: I think if you uninstall, you'll lose your data. you should look for a migration process of some sort [07:50] wildbat_semi_afk: what did that just do - update everything that I needed? [07:50] urlin2u: How so? [07:50] nvm found a work around ty thugh guys [07:50] wildbat_semi_afk: by the way, that command just ran successfully ...

[07:52] so is this gnome3 change driving people away from ubuntu? If so, i can't imagine where they'd go? (KDE & GNOME are everywhere no?) [07:53] wildbat_semi_afk: OK, running photorec now. It is asking me to select the partition table type. What do I choose? [07:53] ajay: I tell you, Xfce is almost a Gnome2 clone [07:54] ajay, does your gnome3 have a panel on the right top to bottom of the screen?

Sorry - I've never used this program before ... [07:55] ajay, Mate, Gnome3 and Unity are the "same visually and in usefullness" - the same ergonomic thinking - the "corporates" are trying to "turn your desktop into a simple phone" - aka iPhone and HTC/Android...THAT is the interface they're pushing...however, for those of us that USE our desktops/netbooks and the likes, we don't appreciate the "force it down their throats" approach...and it's not driving folks away (well, Unity i [07:55] s) but it's making folks think about their desktop environment instead of making folks feel GOOD bout using a linux distro...get it? [07:55] urlin2u: i think that's what people are saying.. [07:56] lion42, Will it mess with me being able to switch layouts with the keyboard preferences editor?

[08:03] theadmin: nice, will check it. Now just need a better workspace manager... seems like if something can integrate well w/ compiz it'd be pretty sweet [08:03] wildbat_semi_afk: it's asking me about the file system type. I need to choose the one that includes FAT, right? [08:03] iceroot: And it's only 1 file [08:03] Everything's disappeared off my unity panel, like it's all scrolled off or something. Only I don't seem to scroll it back into view. How can I get the icons back? :-/ [08:03] theadmin: but can you seriously NOT resize windows?? that's too _crazy_ for me to believe! [08:04] benjick: i guess that is not a upload-issue. the issue is that the file on windows is bad already [08:04] benjick: scp is not changing any encoding [08:04] ajay: You can resize, but to get the maximize button you have to dig with dconf a little :D [08:04] iceroot: So what should i do? [08:05] can you recommend good resources on how to layout an _ubuntu server host_ for multiple virtual web servers? [08:05] <_ramo> hm, i don't know how to configure vsftd to allow root access...

[09:11] maalac: look at that file, it designs iface-names to MAC-addresses. so yes, it should be the right place [09:11] theadmin: and has nothing to do with linux development [09:11] theadmin: or is the kernel using gtk? [09:12] theadmin: also bash is not linux [09:12] iceroot: loool, true, true [09:12] iceroot: I think the guy means "developing for Linux distributions" [09:12] llutz_: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:26:82:c9:70:96", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" this is waht i have [09:12] Anyhow, I'll be back soon. [09:12] theadmin: thank you [09:13] gack, not sure why that error is happening, I have never seen that. [09:13] 00:26:82:c9:70:96 mac address isnt it ? [09:13] gry: any other links?(urls). Stackoverflow is more like question/answer site. I prefer more like forum based site. [09:13] user12: yeah thats a mac address [09:13] anthony_dev: http://linuxquestions.org [09:14] anthony_dev: also http://ubuntuforums.org of course. [09:14] maalac: yes, check "ifconfig" to get MACs and change that file accordingly [09:14] urlin2u: no worries. i have to go now anyways. thanks for your help. I'll try on the forum later. [09:14] llutz i got this a the resutl [09:14] gack, cool [09:14] http://pastebin.com/gMGMXiP4 [09:14] llutz_: can i add two entries ? [09:15] gry: i found this one: linux.com. but it seems not so popular [09:15] maalac: sure [09:15] user12: check your sources.list. it is in main, definetly available [09:16] does ipconfig related commands works in linux ? [09:16] user12: no, use ip or ifconfig [09:18] hi *. I moved my system to a larger harddisk (travelstar 5k750) by using dd_rescue. System boots fine, but sometimes it crashes now, and resume doesn't work at all anymore (running of the old disk still works fine). Any ideas on how to debug this? [09:19] jhb: Check the logs. [09:19] gry: which ones? [09:19] gry: I didn't find anything in messages,dmesg.0 [09:20] kernel logs perhaps ? [09:20] hello, I'm running 11.04, I want to change a few things and can't seem to find the options [09:20] gry: will have a look a that [09:20] for example, I can't click and drag with my touch pad the way I want to === Wilczek is now known as multivitamin [09:21] I seem to need to 'gesture' to click and drag, but I don't see any options on that in the pointer configuration === multivitamin is now known as Wilczek [09:22] I'd also like to see window contents while resizing, set the window magnetism, increase the window decoration border, etc. etc. I can't find those settings where I expect [09:23] Hi [09:24] ioriveur: Hello there. [09:25] What does this mean "If you install Xubuntu-desktop, future updates will not include new items in The Ubuntu desktop system set. Are you sure you want to continue?" [09:27] dbolser: This means you will get xubuntu updates instead of ubuntu ones. [09:27] gry: ic, there are only two packages listed there (one of them being ubuntu meta) [09:28] sorry, ubuntu-desktop meat [09:28] meat [09:28] dam... meta [09:28] this looks scary, but ... gnome is driving me crazy these days http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [09:29] dbolser: This is a meta-package which includes a number of other packages - by accepting this notice, you agree to follow xubuntu updates instead of ubuntu ones. [09:29] gry: cool, ty [09:29] yvw [09:30] if I un-install xfce later, will those updates come back? [09:31] dbolser, yes, gnome takes everyone mad. [09:31] Seems that my mouse down state is not reliable, when I paint in gimp using the mouse, I get this result: http://darkbox.dyndns.org:8888/screenshot_006.png [09:31] Its two strokes instead of one [09:31] I held down the mouse all the time [09:32] * dbolser dives into xubuntu [09:32] anli_: look what xev means [09:32] Its like that since I started to use sudo metacity --replace to get rid of compiz [09:32] ok [09:32] I uses awesome as main wm. [09:32] what the ... [09:32] anli_: do _not_ run a window manager with sudo [09:33] awesome is awesome, ja. [09:33] anli_: this is plain nonsence and it might break things such as the access rights to .Xauthority [09:33] Fuchs: If I dont use sudo, all that is happening is that I damage window titles and I have to restart the computer [09:34] anli_: then your system is already rather broken [09:34] But if I use sudo, I can work with the computer [09:34] and no, you don't have to restart, in the worst case you can still CTRL+ALT+F1, login, DISPLAY=:0 whateverwm --replace & disown CTRL+ALT+F7 [09:34] I cannot change the apperance of windows however [09:34] anli_: of course not, since it takes the settings of the root user [09:35] I have only done metacity --replace in an xterm (trying without sudo) [09:35] anli_: try fix the other problem first, by changing the wm-theme as an example. As your regular user, not with sudo. [09:35] My original problem is that I cannot use compiz together with blender actually [09:35] It locks up the graphics after a while so I have to reboot [09:35] then don't, switch to metacity while using it, and if not already existing, submit a bug report at launchpad [09:36] this sounds strange, what graphics card with which driver are you using? [09:36] nvidia 8600 GT [09:36] and the proprietary driver. What version? [09:36] hm, must check [09:36] I have to use synaptic then, I suppose [09:36] no [09:36] cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version [09:36] aha [09:37] if more than three lines, don't paste it here [09:37] I am only interested in the version number [09:37] NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 270.41.06 Mon Apr 18 14:54:25 PDT 2011 [09:37] old, that might still have the bug in it which is similar to what you are describing [09:37] could you try fetching a newer driver via a ppa (do _not_ download an install the .run file from nvidia) [09:38] 280.13 should be available [09:38] So why do I get that driver when I am running the newest version of ubuntu? [09:38] how about nouveu driver [09:38] anli_: due to the update policy of ubuntu, which is not a bad thing, usually [09:38] anyone else have an invitation to google +? [09:38] But now its more than bad [09:39] !ot > NoNick [09:39] NoNick, please see my private message [09:39] anli_: if the problem still persists, please create a nvidia bug report (sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh), unzip it and put the contents (plain text file) in a pastebin service [09:39] NoNick, I have. [09:39] NoNick, ioriveur - there is ##googleplus if you're interested [09:39] I cant submit bug reports here and where, I have a job to do [09:39] anli_: no, it might not be a driver problem, this is just a guess for now, but probably a good one [09:39] anli_: well, pity, then I can't help you, since I as well have a job to do and not time for more guesses [09:39] Well, Im in already, thanks. [09:40] Well, Im in already, thanks. gry [09:40] I dont like guesses eitehr [09:40] either [09:40] anli_: creating a bug reports takes ~ 2 minutes, I guess you should have this time [09:40] anli_: so: try the new driver, if it works: good. If it doesn't: create a bug report. [09:40] A bug report then that synaptic is an application that can give me software that is so buggy that I consider switching operating system? ;) [09:40] ok [09:41] anli_: but due to the fact that you have to run a window manager as root to have a working system, I suspect that there might be already something broken on your system. [09:41] ioriveur: You're welcome! [09:41] Its a newly installed system [09:41] Yeah, gry! [09:42] :| I got kicked for no reason. [09:42] reportbug in ubuntu is same as in debian? It is spam of asking.... I was tired [09:44] ioriveur: No, ubuntu's bug tracker is separate. [09:44] Help! [09:44] Herakles: ? [09:44] My 9600GT nVidia card is well driven by nouveu in debian, what happened to his system. [09:44] ? [09:45] gry: Wow, great [09:45] ;) [09:45] hello everyone! [09:45] Hiya [09:46] Hello there. [09:46] I need a one-time ftp server, easy to configure. looked already at vsftpd, and proftp both not easy to configure. Any suggestions. Its just for transferring files from time to time from our scanner (so I can't use any other protocol, I need ftp.) [09:46] What is the best way to have 3g internet with ubuntu 10.04 and bluetooth with nokia e63? [09:46] Hi....... [09:47] gry; === MrsB_ is now known as MrsB [09:48] brubelsabs: I remember threre were ftp 2flps linux system. [09:48] Herakles: Good morning! [09:49] brubelsabs: vsftpd IS easy to configure, just check the default-config options === anonymous is now known as Guest93848 [09:50] try pureftpd [09:50] llutz_: ah come on: I tried it, set the local_users option, but still not working.., searched on goole but no one seems to have the same problem.. [09:51] ioriveur: 2flps, what that mean? === Guest93848 is now known as Golden [09:51] gry ???? [09:51] brubelsabs: Have you tried installing filezilla from repos? [09:51] Herakles: Is there something we can help you with? [09:51] Can the tendency of interrupted mouse presses be an effect of running metacity --replace as root [09:51] anli_: Hardly. [09:52] brubelsabs: Used it without issue when I owned my domain [09:52] bryantos: filezilla?, whats that? [09:52] anli_: But, if you have to do that frequently, it's a sign of some things going wrong. [09:52] brubelsabs: FTP client [09:52] brubelsabs: pureftpd and vsftpd is easy, but..... 2ftps means 2 floppies, but actually, only one. [09:52] brubelsabs: An FTP client - see addons.mozilla.org, search for it there [09:52] Hi gry, would you be so kind to help me a bit...., I am having a small problem installing Software from Ubuntu 11.04 DVD although i enabled the Sources in the Softwarecenter [09:52] brubelsabs: local_enable = yes, write_enable = yes, chroot_local_user = no and disable all "anon" related things. "man vsftpd.conf" for more help [09:52] Maybe the mouse itself is broken [09:52] Herakles: What happens when you try to install software? [09:53] brubelsabs: http://www.orange.co.jp/~masaki/1fd/ftp/ it is written in Japanese.... but You'll get same stuff in your language if you google it [09:53] llutz_: Sorry to say that again. I've exactly tried this! I did not work! [09:53] I get an error message telling me the Softwarecenter isn´t able to "Fetch" Software from DVD.... [09:53] I get an error message telling me the Softwarecenter isn´t able to "Fetch" Software from DVD.... gry [09:54] hackerqi: pureftp seems not to be in the repos [09:54] Herakles: Why are you trying to install it from DVD rather than the online repositories? [09:54] I am an offline FREAK.... [09:54] i like to be offline.... [09:54] anli_, congrat, because you got a bug. buy one! [09:55] bryantos: I search an ftp SERVER, and filezillas only offering one for windows I guess.. [09:55] Herakles: Did you add the DVD to the software center as a local repo? [09:55] Yes, gry... [09:55] How? [09:55] i hate dvd, optical disk drive is easy to dead...... [09:55] aha, I was trying the same mouse now in vista, its actually the mouse that fails [09:56] using "Menu, Softwarereposit..., klicking last box to install from DVD [09:56] gry [09:56] So I can stop blaiming linux or nvidia [09:56] llutz_: probably its because some LDAP pam modules here.. since vsftpd has a pam module/service name to configure. [09:56] Herakles: Did you untick the default repos? [09:56] vista? Smashed it saying "hasta la vista, vista" [09:57] yes, i did before... [09:57] good, anli_ ; ) [09:57] yes, i did before..., gry [09:57] hackerqi: sorry I over looked it, the package is named pure-ftpd [09:58] Herakles: Can you go to Terminal and type these two lines: "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get upgrade" - and pastebin the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ? === jeremy-4201 is now known as g-style [09:59] gry, i don´t want to upgrade, i bought a new DVD......11.04.... === jeremy-4201 is now known as g-style [10:00] Herakles: Are you trying to re-install, or to upgrade software? [10:00] nooo [10:00] pure-ftp rocks, thank all of you. So if I want to transfer files, I just install pure-ftp copy them over and then deinstall again. Not mouch configuration, very easy and secure. [10:01] no gry, i do not try to reinstall or upgrade anything.... [10:01] Herakles: Can you tell what you want to do, please? [10:01] * Nuit Bom dia :) [10:02] I want to install a Software from DVD; but i don´t know which software is coming with Ubuntu by default..... [10:02] gry [10:02] guys, need help. [10:02] Herakles: Why do you want to install software from DVD? [10:03] Arz: We can't help you (unless we see your question) :-) [10:03] because my Internetconnection is very slow.... [10:03] gry [10:03] what make Herakles do such a thing? target is same machine, isn't it? [10:03] Herakles: What makes you think that the dvd contents may be used as a "repository"? [10:04] ??? [10:04] What is this now.... am i getting help ? [10:04] or what ? [10:04] have been trying to install ubuntu 64bit and when i restart to complete the installation, i select ubuntu in the boot option, it says completing installation and all, then the ubuntu load screen comes up but then a corrupted screen shows up and my keyboard is disconnected somehow and i cant do anything, tell me if you want to see how the screen looks like. [10:04] Herakles: I'm still trying to understand how you're trying to use the dvd. [10:05] Herakles:ah, I get. You want to install "software", not OS, right? [10:05] I want to install any Software from DVD, like say Xchat....gry [10:06] Herakles: the "dvd" option in software center is used to install software from a source which is a "repository"; if the dvd is not one, then it won't work. If the dvd is an 11.04 installation dvd, then it can't be a repository - the only way to use it is to boot into it and install (with a prior backup) [10:06] Herakles: why you want that? [10:06] Herakles: instead of using the repos [10:06] Herakles: its ALWAYS the best idea to use the software from the repos instead of old software from dvd (with security-issues) [10:06] gry, i bought the DVD with a easyLinux-magazine and it tells me that it can be used..... [10:06] hey guys, im more or less wondering a little about the basics of disk access in linux/ubuntu here but: if i write a cron job, that is going to do an ls on 3 directories, and possibly write that to a file, is this going to prevernt my harddrives from going to sleep, or is there some form of disk cacheing that will save me from the above? [10:06] ? [10:07] Herakles: Could you follow the instructions, then, and tell us what they were, and what errors you got, please? [10:07] Herakles: of course the normal install cd can be used as a repo [10:07] Herakles: but as i said its not a good idea to use old software from dvds [10:07] Arz, your console is blacked out and nothing to get? [10:08] ProstheticS: that will wake up the disks [10:08] ProstheticS: you cant cache the whole files [10:08] ioriveur : no, some weird .. oh god wait ill show you [10:08] oh bummer, so my disks would basically never go to sleep if i set that ? [10:08] gry, I start the Softwarecenter.... [10:08] ProstheticS: yes [10:08] hi people [10:08] can someone help me ? [10:08] gry, I go to the Menu of the Softwarecenter.... [10:08] !ask | sebalec [10:08] sebalec: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:09] gry, I select Softwaresources..... [10:09] is there a nice way to 'check' the output of ls? [10:09] where can i buy a kubuntu cd ? [10:09] ProstheticS: check ? [10:09] ProstheticS: what do you want exactly? [10:09] !ask where can i buy a kubuntu cd ? [10:09] sebalec: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:09] ProstheticS: working with ls is always a bad idea [10:09] gry, I give my password, as i beeing asked... [10:09] !shipit | sebalec [10:09] sebalec: Canonical is no longer sending free Ubuntu CDs to individuals through its ShipIt program. For more information please see http://blog.canonical.com/?p=551 !LoCo teams can request CDs through this link https://forms.canonical.com/lococd/ [10:10] Herakles: Could you please try to give information on one line, and not address me in particular unless I state that I am 100% knowledgeable on this topic? Thank you [10:10] sebalec: ubuntu.com should have a shop for them but not free (as in free beer) [10:10] yes i know about canonical, i already bought a CD of ubuntu [10:10] but i can't find any of kubuntu [10:10] gry, may i get back to you later....., am a bit tired now... === sparky is now known as eskim0 [10:11] Arz, I'm not great at English, plz tell me same thing in another word?

[10:13] _ramo1: but that will not work with outgoing mails if the domain is not pointing in your host [10:13] ioriveur : nothing happens, when this screen comes, the keyboard stops working [10:13] goddard: mkdir ~/bin and put your stuff there [10:13] goddard: because ping is in $PATH [10:14] ioriveur : but when i press ctrl + alt + f1 at the ubuntu splash screen then i can type but for a short time [10:14] hello, does anyone is familiar with ubuntu server 11.04 ?

[10:17] What should I do to fix my samba shares, Windows 7 doesn't see them at all, WDTV Live device sees my computer but says "There's no media in the current folder".

[10:38] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE5vmSR3Ob4&feature=BFa&list=PL1CC7D0BB46BED595&index=98 [10:38] hi every one [10:38] Q: If installing more than one Linux based OS, do I need more than one swap area, id est, set up one swap area per install? Or all OS's will use the same Swap? [10:39] ioriveur : no [10:39] <_ramo1> iceroot: currently i need it just one way.... i would liek to write some emails to me locally.... [10:39] micols: powertop [10:39] Well, Arz, how many old your system is? [10:40] Auriga: as you won't be running more than one installation at a time, one swap partition will suffice [10:41] szal, Right so they do all use the same swap. Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be low on resources because of an oversight as small as that. [10:41] Auriga: the only reason I can imagine for wanting multiple swap partitions is if you want to swap-to-disk several distros at once [10:42] <[HzF]Rocker> Hey, can someone help me with a WIFI problem? [10:42] micols: any ideas? [10:42] ioriveur : not a problem with the system im damn sure cuz it worked before but i removed it and now it isnt working! i have windows 7 64bit and 32bit and also windows vista 32bit installed, so the system is rocking fast. [10:42] [HzF]Rocker: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [10:42] jrib, How do you mean swap-to-disk? You mean switch to a live cd & configure a swap area? [10:42] * szal has 3 swap partitions and all activated, but this just as a precaution if one or more disks fail [10:42] Auriga: no, like "hibernate" in windows [10:43] Auriga: I meant "suspend-to-disk", not "swap-to-disk", sorry [10:43] <[HzF]Rocker> Connect button is greyed out, before that, the pc tried to connect with wrong settings, but the password was correct - now it can't even attempt to connect [10:43] <[HzF]Rocker> What to do? :'( [10:44] jrib, Ahhh okay, but how would that help? To have multiple swaps for that? You mean you would configure each swap to an OS, then that OS uses it's allocated swap area in suspend...? That sounds really convoluted lol. [10:44] need help. my eth0(LAN) is not working whenever i turn on my laptop HP probook 6555b on battery. pls. help .. [10:45] Man I'm at the point where the idea of ever doing anything in Linux is just a total waste of time unless you are 18 and have time to waste. [10:45] I am so sick of software requreiing modules that require depenedencies that require modules that don't work half the time, and documentation is scarce. [10:45] what has age to do with it? [10:45] I am getting to old of this crap. [10:45] <[HzF]Rocker> Linux is useful to me for debugging purposes [10:45] freedom has it´s cost :D [10:46] I guess yeah. [10:46] need help. my eth0(LAN) is not working whenever i turn on my laptop HP probook 6555b on battery. pls. help .. [10:46] That's quite deep.

[10:47] A bunch of software that soft've connects to eachother and does not work. [10:47] Sure. [10:47] ZenMaster - " I am so sick of..." - not very Zen [10:47] Morgz, You said what I was thinking lol... [10:47] Arz, so I don't have any idea, go around and login without X === ZenMaster is now known as CoinOp [10:47] need help. my eth0(LAN) is not working whenever i turn on my laptop HP probook 6555b on battery. pls. help ..

[10:49] yes maalac tell [10:49] So here is my support question give me three seconds to type it. === CoinOp is now known as ZenMaster [10:50] ....lol [10:50] harry_: my LAN network is not turning on whenever i'm on battery mode [10:50] Does anyone have any good doscumentation I can read on how to make Ubuntu Studio work with my Presonus FirePod FP-10. [10:50] on bettery mode only otherwose it works fine ? [10:51] ZenMaster - where does it all go pear shaped... [10:51] harry_: yes, but i need it to work on battery mode .. [10:51] Morgz: ? [10:51] ubuntu studio. does it install properly? [10:52] Morgz: Yes. :) [10:52] strage issues dude [10:52] so whats the problem, what documentation do u seek? [10:52] ioriveur : last time can you please tell me what exactly do i need to do? [10:52] Morgz: I can get Jack to detect my firepod, it is just unstable. I can't close it it just crashes, pretty much for every option if it does not work, I end up having to restart the machine. [10:53] Need a good office suite anyone can recommend?, I need the suite to be lightweight but has all the necessary function to run calculation (excel 2007 supported ), preferable not a java based platform, thanks [10:53] The Specific error that I get Ranges from cannont create a new client, to ardour not being able to connect o jackd. [10:53] micols: any ideas? [10:53] theeres thw ones that lubuntu has [10:53] ... [10:54] some fellas with experience in running ubuntu server as host for many virtual servers in here? [10:54] MarcelT3: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [10:54] Zenmaster- at first glance firepod looks like old propriety hardware. are there supported drivers? [10:54] :why dont you check the proper connection is there or not may be the bettry input and the your netplueg may gets conflig over somewhere...?? [10:54] This FirePod FP10 is on the preffered hardware list for Ubuntu Studio. The driver to be used is Ffado or something like that. Used to be (freebob). [10:55] kk :) can you recommend a resource/tutorial on how to layout a host for later virtualized web servers? [10:55] ZenMaster - sorry, I gotta tap out. Way out of my league, plenty of other folk in here with know how.. [10:55] maalac:why dont you check the proper connection is there or not may be the bettry input and the your netplueg may gets conflig over somewhere...?? [10:56] harry_: that's the problem i dn't know where to look .. [10:56] Morgz: Thanks for the support and hearing my rant. I really wanted to try out this rig on a live recording. And I'm going on about 8 straight hours of no success. [10:56] did u start with ubuntu destop and upgrade to ubuntu studio zenmaster [10:56] vostro: Yes that is correct. [10:56] ZenMaster - I hear ya buddy. When google fails, hit x chat and keep keeping on till you get results ;) [10:56] I was thinking about downloading the Studio to the USB stick and trying that to see if I get less hardware trouble. [10:56] Yeap. [10:57] u should try non grafical install of ubuntu studio [10:57] by the way is it possible to have a wubi double boot?(having twwo wubus such as wubi ubuntu and wubi lubuntu? [10:57] Well when I did do the upgrade I did it through the terminal, with no errors. [10:57] i would say that a dep is not being met or a config error in the upgrade zenmaster [10:57] maalac:okay first of check you ur cable connection is proper or not [10:57] morri: Unfortunately nope, however, you can install LXDE from Ubuntu or such [10:58] vostro: Interesting. [10:58] zenmaster have u verified the port actually works [10:58] harry_: i'm sure is properly connected. [10:58] ok thanks, but it won't uninstall all the gnome only needed files then would it? [10:58] vostro: Port for which application we are talking about? The Entire Studio? [10:59] zenmaster a fresh install with ubuntu studio may work other then that try uninstalling jack and deps and reinstalling it [10:59] Got ya. [10:59] Going to try that. [11:00] Ok for my other question. I have installed a new video card, and still yet can't run Unity. [11:00] Geforce GTX 5800 PCI. [11:00] what vidcard zenmaster [11:00] The menu's blink repeatedly. [11:00] maalac:then it must went something wrong with your laptop hardware issue try to contact to the provider from hwre you bought laptop... [11:00] pci express zenmaster [11:00] PCI. [11:00] Older machines. [11:00] <[HzF]Rocker> ZenMaster isn't that card very very old ? [11:00] 256mb Video memory OpenGel 2.0. [11:01] Young'ens... :D [11:01] yes unfortunatly not enough power there in zenmaster the pci bandwidth no 3d [11:01] Hey the requirements I think for Unity were OpenGL1.4 and newer. [11:01] Oh, sorry Arz, but what I can say is just login without X.... [11:01] Gay. [11:01] zenmaster brb [11:01] Np. [11:01] harry_: oh man ..:-/ what the ... [11:01] ZenMaster: What? [11:01] ioriveur : how? [11:02] Apparently, the card I put in this machine is not capable of handling Unity. [11:02] unable to connect to internet through huawei 3g e-stick on ubuntu 10.04‌‌, please help [11:02] Though.... unless I was in a dream, meets the requirements. [11:03] <[HzF]Rocker> In rare cases it may work lol [11:03] malaac:lol,,yess there must be some confilict between your netconnection socket and bettry charging..... [11:03] try ndiswrapper [11:03] Spacewalker: Did that answer your question? [11:04] <[HzF]Rocker> Anyone able to help me ? [11:04] ZenMaster: Um. Nevermind. [11:04] Spacewalker: Let me guess did you want to say something about the "gay" comment? [11:04] [HzF]Rocker: Whats up brother? [11:04] move /etc/rc*.d/S*gdm /etc/rc*.d/K*gdm [11:04] yes. [11:04] <[HzF]Rocker> Connect button is greyed out, before that, the pc tried to connect with wrong settings, but the password was correct - now it can't even attempt to connect [11:04] Arz [11:05] <[HzF]Rocker> Hence i can't connect to the wifi network [11:05] Spacewalker: You can't rule me on that becuase you can't tell what my connotation is via txt. Thus making your judgement in accurate. So yes it was more wise to not say anything at all. [11:06] [HzF]Rocker: Is there a file that holds all of your wifi settings? like a ".wifi" in your home dir or something, back in the days of bsd there was "net-config". [11:06] <[HzF]Rocker> dunno, gonna go look [11:06] harry_: this is so strange. the only reason why i want this to work because whenever i boot up with adapter and then unplug it. it freezes. so i have to start it on battery mode.. [11:06] ZenMaster: network manager has a config file somewhere. or /etc/network/interfaces if you use that [11:08] someone registered my nick [11:08] okay the way for now seems charge ur laptop firt then user your netconnection....otherwise show it to some hardware expert :) [11:09] <[HzF]Rocker> No such file found [11:09] harry_: anyway, thanks for the help ...appreciate it .. [11:10] harry_: i'm thinking of upgrading it to 11.10 alpha3. for this version of Ubuntu there is a know bug issue on battery mode [11:10] mallac:anytime :) [11:11] but better be carefully do some research work as in ubuntu 11.04 there are some very know issues are there if your are devloper in linux else you want it for ur documention work then its fine,. [11:12] <[HzF]Rocker> ZenMaster, any other idea? [11:12] Would someone help me with this issue? http://askubuntu.com/questions/56278/acpi-30k-interrupts-per-second [11:12] ZenMaster, Please don't use pejoratives such as "gay" in this channel. It's simply not acceptable here. [11:12] i have very bad experience on 11.04..i'm going to try on the 11.10 this might fix all the other issues of 11.04 [11:13] maalac:yes thats better if you go for Ubuntu 11.10 === aknm is now known as monk [11:15] Punna: do you have the latest BIOS? [11:15] <[HzF]Rocker> Hello? - i need some help before i scratch a hole in my head >.< [11:15] ActionParsnip: yes [11:15] Punna: tried booting with the: noacpi bootoption? [11:15] [HzF]Rocker: wassup? [11:16] <[HzF]Rocker> The wifi Connect button is greyed out, before that, the pc tried to connect with wrong settings, but the password was correct - now it can't even attempt to connect [11:16] ActionParsnip: Just to clarify this started suddenly a couple of days ago. It didn't have this issue before (though I had a tonne of headaches with Linux on my computer in general..) [11:16] ActionParsnip: and how? [11:16] !bootoptions | Punna [11:16] Punna: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [11:16] hi there i am using a macbook and i installed refit and ubuntu but i am unable to use my isight camera even i did add appleUSBvideosupport file [11:16] [HzF]Rocker: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless access points? [11:17] caferius: which macbook? [11:17] 13.3 black... last of his kind :) [11:17] caferius: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; lsusb please [11:17] ActionParsnip: brb lunch [11:18] hey...any one has any information on how the system works when i select langauge at the time of login??? [11:18] <[HzF]Rocker> it says interface does not support scanning [11:18] [HzF]Rocker: ok then reboot and run: dmesg | less read the boot messages, you will find clues in there [11:19] so i've just insert my old usb hdd box in my ubuntu, i see this in my /var/log/messages http://pastebin.com/sReaTXJ8 for some reason this hdd doesn't appear in my ubuntu's hdd list, any key to that? [11:19] i have typed it ti terminal, ActionParsnip. Which part do you want to know? [11:19] caferius: all, make a pastebin of the full output [11:19] harry_, it sets some environment variables (LANG and LANGUAGE) to the correct values [11:19] <[HzF]Rocker> @ActionParSnip - it does list the network i want to connect to, does that make a difference? [11:19] After I installed ubuntu, I found that access to internet is very slow, can anybody help me? [11:20] ffeegxh: if you run: sudo fdisk -l does it show? [11:20] ActionParsnip: one moment, btw Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS [11:20] [HzF]Rocker: is that the scan or the dmesg output? [11:20] <[HzF]Rocker> scan [11:20] No LSB modules are available. [11:20] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [11:20] Description: Ubuntu 11.04 [11:20] Release: 11.04 [11:20] Codename: natty [11:20] caferius: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:20] [HzF]Rocker: that's cool, what is the interface name used? [11:20] Bus 007 Device 003: ID 05ac:0229 Apple, Inc. Internal Keyboard/Trackpad (MacBook Pro) (ANSI) [11:20] caferius: use a pastebin. I told you TWICE [11:20] ActionParsnip: Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table [11:21] I am always here if someone need to compile something [11:21] ffeegxh: when you last unplugged it from a system, what steps did you take? [11:21] glebihan: yes precisely but what i am facing in Ubuntu 11.04 is that when ever i change the langauge at the time of login it wont set the environment and the locale variable to that lanague which i have selected at the time of login..?? [11:21] ActionParsnip: well it should be empty [11:21] ActionParsnip: i guess [11:22] ffeegxh: is it a brand new drive? [11:22] <[HzF]Rocker> eth0 i think [11:22] [HzF]Rocker: for wireless?, read the output and it says :) [11:22] harry_, one minute, let me have a look [11:22] yes please... [11:22] :) [11:22] <[HzF]Rocker> ow, wait, that's wrong, it's supposed to be NETGEAR [11:22] Hello all. What can I do, if the "Starter" (this thing on the left) wont hide again? [11:22] reboot? [11:23] ActionParsnip: hdd owner told me that he remved file system, so it is like a brand new [11:23] How do i stop ubuntu from keeping a history of the last documents I have opened. [11:23] ActionParsnip: so, i just format it and it will work? [11:24] ffeegxh: then I would use gparted and create a new partition. Make sure you select the sdb under the devices menu so you are working on the new drive [11:24] sam_mule- there should be a recently used file in home [11:24] ActionParsnip: thank you [11:24] ffeegxh: yes, its not partitioned so you cannot use it yet [11:24] sam_mule- do sudo chattr +i on it [11:24] ffeegxh: :D [11:24] sudokill: what will that do? [11:24] Elirips: it's called Unity. The settings are in ccsm. You may need to install compizconfig-settings-manager so you can run ccsm [11:25] sam_mule- make it so it cant be written to or deleted [11:25] Anyone know how to get the F10 key to work in the terminal on Natty so that I can close htop on my server? [11:25] <[HzF]Rocker> @ActionParsnip, i still don't get what to do, the scan doesn't say which interface was used, but it did use the wifi card (as it found 7 wifi networks) [11:25] sudokill: so in sudo cmd just put what you said. Or do i need to goto a folder first ? [11:25] harry_, it seems that the variables which values are set when you select the language are in fact LANGUAGE, GDM_LANG and LC_MESSAGES [11:25] [HzF]Rocker: try: sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20 eth0 wil be listed, underneath will be the wireless interface name [11:26] ActionParsnip: I didnt change anything in the configuration, I opened firefox, and now the thing wont hide again [11:26] After I installed ubuntu, I found that access to internet is very slow, can anybody help me? [11:26] Elirips: it may need tweaking [11:26] ActionParsnip: why, before it always hidded again after I opened a programm [11:26] oshekfeh: tried the google dns servers? may help (plus it's free to try) [11:26] Elirips: well its not doing it now so something must be wrong, right? [11:27] yes mostly GDM_LANG but this GDM_LANG is what ?? [11:27] ActionParsnip: indeed. [11:27] i use env | grep LANG command [11:27] i have 2 pcs with ubuntu on them and i want to send files from one to the other over wifi. how do i setup a network to do this on ubuntu? [11:27] ActionParsnip: Ok I will try [11:27] glebihan:yes mostly GDM_LANG but this GDM_LANG is what ?? [11:27] Elirips: instal the app then check the unity settings, you can set the hide style there [11:27] sudokill: so in sudo cmd just put what you said. Or do i need to goto a folder first ? [11:27] jasonmsp, its in the settings/profile for the terminal. its remaped to some other function. I always have to disable that for mc to work right [11:28] I can't seem to stream to a multicast ip address in ubuntu 10.04 [11:28] it seems like any connection to a multicast ip address fails [11:28] harry_, not sure, never saw that one before [11:28] jasonmsp, under 'keyboard shortcuts' it seems. [11:28] any ideas what could be causing that? [11:29] dr_willis There is a setting in terminal that does not enable the f10 key but when deslected it still does not send the f10 through the terminal. [11:29] glebihan:okay but by which command you got the LC_MESSAGE?? [11:29] harry_, GDM is the gnome display manager, which handles the login, so that variable must be set when you login when I don't know what it is used for [11:29] <[HzF]Rocker> @ActionParsnip: uhm, then waht? - i do get a list containing address, channel, etc. and it's the right one + some "IE: Unknown: " stuff [11:29] How do i stop ubuntu from keeping a history of the last documents I have opened. [11:30] harry_, the "env" command lists all environment variables [11:30] [HzF]Rocker: what is teh scanning interface name? [11:30] jasonmsp, odd.. This is in htop you are having the issues. I always use mc.. let me try htop and see if it works. [11:30] <[HzF]Rocker> @ActionParsnip: wlan0 [11:30] good evening [11:30] glebihan:okay thanks a ton :) [11:31] sam_mule: http://ubuntuguide.net/clearprevent-recent-documents-under-files-folders-in-ubuntu-unity [11:31] harry_, you're welcome [11:31] jemparin1: Good evening. [11:31] [HzF]Rocker: ok that's cool. Did you check the dmesg output? [11:31] everything should be fine [11:31] <[HzF]Rocker> i missed that [11:31] jasonmsp, hmm.. seems its broken.. odd.. for htop you can use 'q' to quit. but now in my case F10 dosent work for mc either.. interesting. [11:32] [HzF]Rocker: reboot and login, then run: dmesg | tail [11:32] jasonmsp, i never noticed thatbefor. i tend to use terminator instead of gnome0terminal [11:32] [HzF]Rocker: read the output, some lines will relate to the wifi setting up, may give clues [11:32] glebihan:now i just need to find out what the LC_MESSAGE means and how to assess it in my project using qt [11:32] jasonmsp, it could be compiz is grabbing the f10 key also [11:33] you guys need to create a way to we have ubuntu and windows on the same machine at the same time without installation, like a live cd [11:33] caferius: did you make the pastebin yet? [11:33] my dad dont allo me to use only ubuntu [11:33] Ramses: how will it be "on the system" if it's not installed? [11:34] II am thinking, wait [11:34] Ramses: you can install Ubuntu in a persistant mode to a USB stick / SD card / CF etc [11:34] My job depends on windows [11:34] ActionParsnip: I get no such file. [11:34] Ramses: just tell your system to boot the external storage when you want Ubuntu [11:35] my dad is always watching me all day long [11:35] jasonmsp, its looking like somthing else is grabbing the F10 key. even in xterm the F10 key is not working. [11:35] it would interesting to have ubuntu also in the machine like Cygwin [11:35] sam_mule: there is a lot here http://askubuntu.com/questions/34592/how-to-clear-recently-used-files [11:35] Ramses: it can be if you have it over LAN === heyzeus is now known as jmrodri [11:36] Ramses, 'colinux' has linux running in a virtual machine you access via xming on a windows box.. its not officially supportede here.. but its a neat tool. [11:36] a will llok at it, thanks [11:36] Ramses, andlinux is ubuntu setup with colinux (i think) but its also not supported here.. [11:37] ok, maybe it is what I am looking for [11:37] Ramses, then theres good old virtualbox. [11:37] well you can exit with Q so thats what I'll do for now. Thanks!

[14:38] 1) Default (used for office with some proxy settings) [14:38] 2) Home (Used for home network, i.e, direct internet connection) [14:38] Here my question is, when I switch from "office" location to "default" location, still the environtment variables (like https_proxy) are set and not resetting at all. This is forcing me to restart my laptop to get updated the new environtment settings. [14:38] a)So, how to get the environment variables updated without restarting? [14:38] b)Is there any way to automatic proxy config for home/office network? [14:38] Balaji_TVR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:42] Balaji_TVR, as for (b) what are you hoping to accomplish. is your main concern that when you switch connections you are now attempting to go through a proxy that doesn't exist [14:42] Hmmmm dr_willis ....i've got everything working pretty nice with each other... i'm just affraid to turn that back on [14:42] LOL [14:43] the Grid [14:43] designbybeck, to reset unity --> unity --reset [14:43] designbybeck, just forget that silly cube ever existed.. :) [14:43] cube4life!

[14:44] how do I change my touchpad settings? [14:45] Balaji_TVR, i dont have much experience with proxies on my own machine, but one approach might be to install squid proxy on your local machine and force all your connections through it, you could then adjust squid to go through the corporate proxy or not depending upon the situation [14:45] Thanks for the help dr_willis === rabbit1 is now known as Guest50448 [14:45] is it possible to set up LVM for all partitions except for /boot ??

[14:47] ty very much [14:47] Pici: how do I do things like customize window decorations?

[14:55] Balaji_TVR, it may be easier to just leave the proxy setting on, and then start update-manager from the command line by saying: unset http_proxy; unset https_proxy; update-manager [14:55] !GNOME [14:55] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal.

BTW any idea on how to run UbuntuOne?

[16:15] ubottu: Thanks for that [16:15] jack_eire: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:16] escott: not yet, i'll see if i can find updated drivers online [16:16] rightlegred, grub relies on files in /boot if you removed those your grub will be non-functional [16:16] mhm, I probably did remove those [16:16] I need a newer ssh on this lucid box (at least 5.8) and wondered if getting http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server-udeb_5.8p1-7_i386.udeb (with the corresponding ssh package) is going to cause much trouble. We got scanned by someone official lately and have to update. [16:16] I'm assuming the fix would be to reinstall ubuntu? [16:16] so you are saying that ubuntu 9.04 didnt have webcam support? [16:16] wow [16:16] rightlegred: u need to respecify the partition is fstab unless you formatted it [16:16] Iḿ allowed in here again :P [16:16] cool [16:16] craigbass1976: what's the reason for requiring the update? [16:16] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip: I can't install it, anything else i can try? [16:16] AcidRain: no, of course it did. But we cannot provide support for that version any more [16:17] dokhtare sen bala nist az shiraz [16:17] Hachya: it wasn't formatted, I've been messing with the partition though [16:17] who is we? im just curious [16:17] craigbass1976: not good isea to mix repositories [16:17] rightlegred:.... [16:17] did you help create ubuntu? [16:17] right thanks - i did a sudo fsck /dev/sda1 and it is booting now, should i have ignored the errors during this check or not? [16:17] AcidRain: this channel [16:17] jrib, it's an "OpenSSH GLOB_LIMIT Denial Of Service Vulnerability" issue... [16:17] and by some sworn secrecy you cannot help people in need [16:17] Hachya: I' [16:17] oh. just this channel [16:17] Err, sorry bad keyboard [16:17] well tell the admins to create me a channel called #unfortunate-ones [16:17] craigbass1976: and you're sure it hasn't been patched? Security patches usually get cherry picked [16:17] AcidRain: and there are no more updates provided. The product is end of live [16:18] Hachya: I rarely mess with this kind of stuff. I assumed it was OK to delete my partition [16:18] rightlegred: that's fine....so you removed the partition from the table completely? [16:18] Yeah, completely [16:18] I removed it and expanded the drive it was from [16:18] rightlegred, you need to install whatever bootloader is appropriate for the os you run. if you dont want ubuntu it might not be grub [16:18] rightlegred: how did u remove it? using what tool/command [16:18] Hachya: Win7 disk manager [16:19] rightlegred: !@#$@#$ [16:19] mhm [16:19] rightlegred: XD [16:19] rayvtirx, there were errors in your fsck that you ignored? [16:19] I probably did something very stupid :P [16:19] rightlegred, what is remaining OS? [16:19] righrlegred: THAT may not be fixable...sometimes if done withgparted it can be recovered.... I dunno about removing with win 7 disk mgr [16:19] Win7 [16:19] urlin2u: Win7 [16:19] escott: i take that back - control-c will (eventually) break it properly [16:20] rightlegred, do you have a recovery or install disc? [16:20] rightlegred, at least in the past the correct tool to reinstall windows bootloader was fixmbr. don't know if that is still the case [16:20] I have a usb with the live stuff on [16:20] rightlegred, a W7 thumb [16:20] I probably have a W7 thumb around [16:20] RA_drc, its just getting stuck as the kernel tries to read the fs. if it is very large and the device very slow that could take some time [16:21] escott: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 [16:21] rightlegred, find it boot to the cli and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr [16:21] urlin2u: how will that recover his linux partition? [16:21] <[HzF]Rocker> Grr.. [16:22] I don't want to recover it [16:22] ahhh [16:22] my fault, yeah fixmbr [16:22] I was trying to remove it completelyt [16:22] the bl is still there [16:22] Hachya, I thought that was gone and they wany W7 to boot. [16:22] want [16:22] so fixmbr, and is that doesn't work, then first do fixboot, then fixmbr [16:22] rightlegred: presumably you wouldn't have removed the partition and resized your other over it if you had wanted to keep it [16:22] mhm, urlin2u where abouts could I find this software? [16:22] with either thumb or Install Disc [16:22] rightlegred: I think this is really a windows question [16:22] rightlegred, what software. [16:23] rightlegred: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 [16:23] ne2k: why yes, yes it is XD [16:23] Probably, I dislike the windows support though, seems terribad [16:23] I'll move to google [16:23] Thanks guys [16:23] rightlegred: you still have ur windows install disc? [16:23] rightlegred, I will see you at #windows [16:23] XD [16:24] it's just funny tho, asking in ubuntu channel "how do I remove ubuntu and keep windows" we'll tell you anything ti screw up the windows partition :D jk jk [16:24] ok thanks guys - escott [16:24] bfn [16:25] does 'gcc' need to be run on the specific machine to compile or can I compile on 1, and send to another [16:26] i need help [16:26] help me [16:26] takpar: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [16:26] Hachya: I would hope most people here would be of the opinion that if someone wants to use Windows, let them use Windows. it's about choice. Microsoft wants to remove your choice and lock you down to their products. Apple is worse. Open source is about choice, and freedom. [16:26] commond register nick ?

If not, open a bug.

[16:29] krazykrivda: i.e. compile on the phone itself. [16:29] ne2k: i don't even have gcc on the phone.. ha [16:30] krazykrivda: what is "the phone" anyway? [16:30] ne2k: yeah, one will find that when you lock ppl out of certain things, things tend to perform better, ie, when MS gets rid of the registry......ie never [16:30] Hachya: use #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion please [16:31] oCean: it's hardly busy === rabbit1 is now known as Guest7529 [16:31] ne2k: that's not the point [16:31] escott: [16:31] ne2k: android..

[16:33] krazykrivda: I would search around for either "android 3 native build" or "android 3 cross compile" and see which you reckon is easier [16:33] hey rrajbe. Lemme look for ya [16:34] krazykrivda: if you can get the cross-compiler working it will obviously be faster for bigger projects [16:34] krazykrivda, for android most of what you compile is java/davlik. you shouldn't need to be using gcc (unless you are writing low level stuff) === NewToThis is now known as skh_on1 [16:34] temongantengbgt: MySQL workbench [16:34] escott: I am booting in and out, could you please guide me what will be the next step, if that doesn't work, also i got a snapshot of the error message.

[16:37] ne2k: we have an older kernel than mentioned there [16:37] thanks IAmNotThatGuy.. that solved the issue [16:38] [HzF]Rocker, can you connect to an unprotected network. it could be a problem with wpa_supplicatnt [16:38] good luck rrajbe =] [16:38] temongantengbgt: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.2.html [16:38] :) [16:38] krazykrivda: does it have econet? [16:39] ne2k: I highly doubt [16:39] krazykrivda: well then it won't work, will it? [16:39] escott: http://imagebin.org/166957 [16:39] guys, to can i install ubuntu if i have 4 primary partitions already? i have 3 for windows, restoration, etc., and 1 for opensuse which is located on the extended one. do i install ubuntu to the same extended partition, right? [16:39] ne2k: no it will not.. but I'm tryuing to compile and see how it works.. I'm not sure how to check if device does have econet [16:40] einseenai: yes, install it extended [16:40] Guest15721, please do what the error message tells you and chkdsk the drive in windows. if you don't have a working windows system please don't use ntfs [16:40] krazykrivda: it's not the device that needs to have it, it's the kernel. the kernel econet module needs to be loaded [16:40] einseenai: primary partitions are not located on extended partitions; the extended partition _is_ a primary partition and holds virtual partitions [16:40] ne2k: yes.. but I"m not sure hwo to check the kernel for the econet module [16:40] einseenai: extended partition is fine - but you need to set up it's own logical partition. [16:40] is takpak her? [16:41] indeed, logical, not virtual [16:41] escott: did you see the dialogue ? [16:41] krazykrivda: I guess modprobe econet; lsmod |grep econet; and see if it's there [16:41] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: Attempt to connect to my neighbors wifi (No encryption) resulted in same problem as on my own wifi [16:41] Guest7529, keep sending to the wrong Guest nick please do what the message tells you and chkdsk your drive in windows. if you dont have windows don't use ntfs [16:42] escott: yeap, i did run check disk, but no result found. 2nd option, have no idea what to do.... [16:42] jrib, where do I find out whether or not it's been patched? [16:42] Guest Nicks May want to select a actual Nick... via ---> /nick PickANick [16:42] so my cam is detected [16:42] krazykrivda: obviously to do a real attack the kernel would need to autoload it for you, because you can't modprobe unless you're root [16:42] craigbass1976: read changelog/source code [16:42] Ralph124c, thanks, will it be ok, if i just resize opensuse's one and make free space, and then use as target partition, right? [16:42] as "usb camera" as its iProduct [16:42] ne2k: I would most likely need SU to run that [16:43] krazykrivda: yes you'd need to be root to do the modprobe for the test to see if the econet module is available [16:43] ne2k: mhmm.. so again, idk how to check the kernel for econet === Guest7529 is now known as PickANick [16:43] krazykrivda: can you not become root, then? [16:43] but Cheese is not detecting it [16:43] AcidRain: you're ubuntu version is not supported. You have to upgrade first. === PickANick is now known as rabbit2 [16:44] right, I gotta go [16:44] is ocean a bot? [16:44] ne2k: not on the phone.. it is locked by motorola.. ths .c script i showed u is to achieve root [16:44] has anyone experienced black screen crashes on ubuntu 11.04? [16:44] escott: i am now know as rabbit2 [16:44] AcidRain: no [16:44] Guest7529, the ntfs driver doesn't like something about your ntfs filesystem. not a lot you can do. you can try and manually mount things with ntfs-3g drivers. you could also try turning off features of the fs in windows (i think shadow copies are a problem) [16:44] krazykrivda: I guess just try it, then [16:44] einseenai: Yes, but backup OpenSuse data first. Repartitioning without backup works MOST of the time. [16:45] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: Attempt to connect to my neighbors wifi (No encryption) resulted in same problem as on my own wifi [16:45] Hi guys. Will DRBD replication work great with Ubuntu server 10.04? [16:45] krazykrivda: you might be better off looking at reflashing the whole phone with your own OS, if you want a jailbroken phone [16:45] escott: ok, thanks a lot will try doing it... thanks for your time [16:45] ne2k: bootloader is locked, and img flashes check for some sigs === RA_drc_ is now known as RA_drc [16:45] [HzF]Rocker, usually the atheros is well supported. im not sure what the problem could be. something about the frequencies legally allowed in your country? maybe? [16:47] Ralph124c, ok, thanks a lot -). and how about bootloader? installer will install it anyway, won't it override my current one? it would be catastrophy... :-D [16:47] krazykrivda, so much for motorola's promises [16:47] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: the channel should be fine, it works with a Win9x/FreeBSD pc, a media center and some other things that is usually very cranky about the channels [16:47] escott: i think their promise is to release late 3rd quarter this year [16:47] so not quite there [16:48] ne2k: and the link.. it mentions it is intentionally limited in scope, but seems as though it could be adjusted to not rely on econet === o is now known as Guest77985 [16:48] einseenai: Bootloader shouldn't be a problem. Grub is grub - more or less. I'm quadbooting Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse and Slackware. That hasn't been issue yet. Other than a looooong boot list. === RA_drc_ is now known as RA_drc [16:50] Ralph124c, :-D yup. thanks a lot.

It's alpha software [17:00] In Compiz Windows Decorations... I'm trying to have all windows decorated except MPlayer: [17:00] i have: any & !title=MPlayer [17:00] but that isn't working... any suggestions? [17:00] [HzF]Rocker, not really. the things i know to check are that the driver is correct and loaded, that rfkill is off, and that nothing in /etc is preventing network manager from managing the device (if you put stuff in some network related files network manager will yield to manual control) you could try and connect manually to see if that last bit is the problem [17:00] designbybeck: have you tried reloading compiz [17:01] designbybeck, you might need to adjust your pattern matching. use xwininfo to verify the window title [17:01] yeah it is refreshing AcidRain [17:01] ActionParsnip, [17:01] I have gotten this to work before but I think i'm typing the wrong "window matching" [17:01] i can get it to turn off ALL decoration on all windows === t0nic is now known as Guest12075 [17:02] <[HzF]Rocker> escott the driver should be ok, it's loaded rfkill is off and about /etc i dunno [17:02] I'm not sure how to use xwininfo escott [17:02] designbybeck, type it in a terminal and click on the window you want info about [17:03] that is correct "MPlayer" [17:03] My dad has an intel graphics card and was wondering if the mesa-* was the driver for the card by default [17:03] [HzF]Rocker, perhaps someone else can help you manually attempt to connect. all i know is iwconfig, but i dont know the wpa_supplicant part of things [17:04] samthewildone, should be. for more modern sandybridge best wait until 11.10 [17:04] <[HzF]Rocker> escott, ok === [1]Ice is now known as RetroMetro [17:04] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip: I'm stuck :/ - I couldn't install Wcid/Wicd - How can i connect manually ? === Unidentified6302 is now known as TheNull [17:05] <[HzF]Rocker> to the wifi* [17:05] escott: well thank you my good kingsman! === Dvyjones_ is now known as Dvyjones [17:05] What's the best linux for that intel card ?

[17:08] LOL well crap... i get get all or nothing.... [17:08] hello, i am trying to mount an SD card. when i type "sudo mount /dev/sde /mnt/sdhc" i get an error: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". however, when i try "sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/sde /mnt/sdhc" or variations thereof, i get the error: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat32'". what am i doing worng? [17:08] *wrong [17:08] but not just the MPlayer to NOT have windows decoration [17:08] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip, i made a fresh install of latest ubuntu, and the iwconfig says ESSID:linksys - which is my neighbors wifi [17:08] RA_drc, it's vfat [17:09] RA_drc: I think you want a partition number there and not the main drive designation... like sde1 and not just sde [17:09] man wtf [17:09] ok lets say i wanted to upgrade my box [17:09] my main concert is how do i backup my sql databases [17:09] Hi guys! had a problem updating to ubutu Lucid 64 and narrowed it down to 'nouvaou' not upgrading properly. it sends out error http://paste.ubuntu.com/661254/ in Synaptic when i try manually [17:09] hello all, quick questoin, when ever i watch videos on ubuntu eversince i upgraded to 11.04 my videos have black blocks on them and the time bar is all blacked out [17:09] on every site [17:09] i updated flash [17:09] works fine on my windows box [17:09] anyideas?

The other day You gave me a link on a big Wubi thread. I just wanted to thank You. [17:13] alphanobody, did you try different web browsers and do you get the same behaviour ?

[18:20] Escherial, you can install a windows vm with virtualbox, but it's almost impossible to get it to use an existing partition [18:21] [HzF]Rocker, are you asking where is the persistent storage an a live usb stick? === rypervenche1 is now known as rypervenche [18:21] <[HzF]Rocker> i think so [18:21] hwilde: ah, good to know...i just found an article to the same effect, something about how the kernel and drivers configured at installation become specific to the hardware [18:21] * [HzF]Rocker kicks FloodBot2 in the crunch [18:21] giraffy, you mean its not partitioned? you will need to partition it. then you can use sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sdXX as needed [18:21] Escherial you could install virtualbox in ubuntu and create a virtual machine that boots from the windows partition === Mud is now known as Guest25938 [18:22] Dynetrax: right, that's what i was thinking about doing, but sadly it's not cut and dry [18:22] Escherial, i've setup many virtualboxes from scratch and it's simple. i've tried for a few hours to get it to use an existing partition and never got it [18:22] Escherial: you can use wine and run many apps from a live ntfs partition [18:22] IO APIC resources could be not allocated; Loading please wait... that's a result inserting jaunty on 50Mb RAM [18:23] #ubuntu-offtopic [18:23] meh, my only concern is that i have a single-user license for my windows installation. i'm not sure how that applies to having virtual machines running on the same box. [18:23] Escherial: I play wow and ddo both off my windows partition while I'm booted into linux. [18:23] * [HzF]Rocker bites FloodBot1 [18:23] [HzF]Rocker: Can you stop that? [18:24] hwilde, Escherial KVM can boot physical partitions quite easily [18:24] Dulak you're running ubuntu? [18:24] Dulak: using wine, huh? :) yeah, i use wine for a few things (ragnarok online, for one), but it'd be nice to have access to my windows installation as though it were booted (i.e. with the window manager, etc. available), so i'll continue to look into vming it [18:24] <[HzF]Rocker> What else should i take out my frustrations on? :P [18:24] I have my caps lock remapped to meta (via xmodmap) but something keeps 'switching it back' while I'm logged in after an unknown number of minutes, any ideas? [18:24] zykotick9: KVM? like a keyboard-video-monitor switch? wouldn't i need two machines running for that? [18:24] Dynetrax: yes, I run 10.04 [18:25] Escherial, ;) Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) [18:25] dr_willis, OK, here's the deal. I've already formatted one partition on this 3T drive by putting it in an external drive box. The box can't recognize anything over 2T, so I partitioned it using my Gentoo laptop. I did this b/c I COULDn't get the Ubuntu to partition this thing with fdisk or gparted. In gparted, the message says the drive is busy. Tried umount although never mounted. Message: not mounted. What is Ubuntu doing that mak [18:25] es this drive look busy? [18:25] did you install 10.04 from alternate iso? or regular ubuntu desktop dulak [18:25] Escherial: umm wine explorer.exe /path/to/windows/mount/point [18:25] zykotick9: ah, heh, that makes a ton more sense :3 [18:25] @escott ..... sudo cat /dev/sdb > raw_disk_image.img .... is still working , how much time it will take ? [18:25] Escherial, your CPU must support virtualization to use KVM [18:25] vikram, no no use dd [18:26] <[HzF]Rocker> hwilde: where is that "other storage" ? === iqpi is now known as iqpi|bici [18:26] vikram: If you send SIGUSR1 to dd you'll get a status printed. [18:26] Dynetrax: just the normal iso, I am using the wine 1.3 ppa repo though for wine. [18:26] giraffy, you should try using gdisk i your version of gparted is too old to handle gpt tables [18:26] Dulak: How does wow run when you run it like that? [18:27] That's the external box that cant recognize the 3T. dont want to spend $80 just to partition this thing and then put in the Ubuntu. btw, tried just formating w/ext3. Doent matter [18:27] could someone please tell [HzF]Rocker where is the persistent storage located on a liveusb stick [18:27] Dynetrax: not as well as natively booted to windows, but it's very playable. I wouldn't raid under linux. [18:27] zykotick9: hmm, i have a core i5 in this machine, so perhaps it's possible? :D [18:27] vikram, depends on how big that disk is. you are copying the entire contents of that fs to a file, failed to mention that you probably want to umount that partition prior to running that command [18:27] Escherial, i haven't used Windows in close to 10 years so really don't know how they work/perform in KVM in that manner, but it worked pretty well with Linux Dual boot installs. [18:27] vikram, you want to use the command "dd" [18:27] now i see, SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0xXXXXX [18:27] No, the gparted will do gpt tables, so I cd have used that. [18:28] is there anyway to make a symlink to a file that doesn't yet, but will later? [18:28] zykotick9: no problem; thanks for the idea. seems promising :) [18:28] safire_, yes. you should be able to force it (or you could touch the file, create the symlink then remove the symlink) it is known as a broken symlink [18:28] Dulak: I want to install 11.04 but i really dont like unity and was thinking of just going for debian, would there be a way to install 11.04 without unity? like at all lol [18:29] Dynetrax, just logout and change wm [18:29] Hey [18:29] !classic | Dynetrax [18:29] there are also xubuntu. lubuntu, kubuntu [18:29] Dynetrax: 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". [18:29] how to use dd command .....its 4 gb pendrive /dev/sdb [18:29] i wanna see its boot sector [18:29] !dd | vikram === RobinJ is now known as zz_RobinJ [18:30] I mean is there any way at all to get Ubuntu 11.04 bare bones no stock packages and build it up like you can with debian? [18:30] and, SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, bock and fragment cache block ... [18:30] Dynetrax, what would be the point of this? [18:30] !minimal | Dynetrax [18:30] Dynetrax: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:30] escott: can you explain this http://pastebin.com/Zb4QTytx === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [18:30] Escherial, a screenshot of 7 KVM dual boot "VMs" in action https://plus.google.com/115403891429547707849/posts/1VuHdVVzCn7 [18:30] nevermind [18:30] retarded, didn't see the typo for weeks [18:30] ;p [18:30] thanks pici [18:31] how to get fork function definition? [18:31] I thought there was some clever trick I was missing [18:31] there are hax upon this ssystem [18:31] this is obvious [18:31] Dynetrax: yes I have done that before, it's a pain in the butt, but doable. There is a ubuntu net install iso somewhere or other [18:31] zykotick9: neat :D [18:31] I didnt know about the gpt tables until I researched last week. Wd like to reformat the whole thing but I still have this pbm of ubuntu saying the drive is busy. Said the same thing about a 16g thumbdrive I wanted to format to ext3, but that I cd put in the Gentoo laptop and format. What is going on with the Ubuntu? Cant find a solution by googling at all. [18:31] what ! dd | vikram means ? [18:31] vikram, dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sdb of=mbr_only.img to copy a single block of 512 bytes. see man dd [18:31] <[HzF]Rocker> where is that persistant storage on a linux live cd ? (it's put on a usb stick, and the persistant storage dont show in Computer) [18:32] thanks [18:32] Dulak, well I've install Arch linux many times so couldnt be any more tedious [18:32] lol [18:33] In comparison to just using the normal iso it's not fun, but in comparison to arch it's probably a walk in the park. [18:33] giraffy, personally, id grab a gparted live cd, and use it to partiton the drive.. i use it for all my hd work like that. [18:34] safire_, can you confirm that folder exists in /etc? [18:35] Pici, thanks for link, i didn't know about alternate install there [18:35] zaklucheni: no problem [18:35] what is a good git gui client to use..? [18:35] dr_willis: OK, I'll try that, thanks. If anyone knows why this is a pbm, wd like to know solution. It's one of those things that make it hard to move to Ubuntu on all systems. Thanks again. [18:36] how do I open a terminal window from the folder I am looking at in Nautilus ? [18:36] can anyone tell me how to further customize the login window in ubuntu 10.04? I only found the option to enable the Appearance manager, but I want to make the Window Background transparent, so you can only see the login input field and username [18:36] can anyone recommend either a visual traceroute program or a site you can go to and view the locations of nodes? [18:36] giraffy, i cant even think of the any time ive repartioned a 3TB hd.. i have 2 of them. but they are NTFS-external USB. so havent really needed to mess with it. yet. [18:36] rawfodog, install nautilus-open-terminal then it's an option in right click [18:36] rawfodog: there is a plugin for nautilus called open therminal here, or something like that [18:36] oh that is :D [18:37] escott: it doesn't, didn't see the typo [18:37] Hey, I have win7 and ubuntu installed on my pc, how do I remove the windows completely and give all the space for ubuntu? [18:37] giraffy, i would highly recommend at least looking at the partition tables with gdisk. i find that gparted doesn't tell me what is going on if there are multiple partition tables on the disk [18:38] how to open that .img file ??? [18:38] stealz: transparant? Why not use your desktop background as background in login window? [18:38] dr_willis: I might have thought it was just the 3T, but I had the same problem when reformatting the thumbdrive, the "busy" message. [18:38] why does it seem that transferring data via ssh that there is a cap of 3mBps [18:38] safire_, neither did i... but it was the only thing you didnt test [18:38] vikram, a hex editor [18:38] escott: I can try that. Do you think the gdisk would work when the fdisk didn't? [18:38] thanks [18:38] eat dick [18:39] faggots [18:39] fucking niggers [18:39] george5: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:39] oCean, The "Desktop Background" is already changed, I am looking for a way to further integrate it into the background [18:39] stupid fucking nigger support channel [18:39] I love seeing the bots stomp out failures... [18:39] I'm not a bot. [18:39] oCean, for the background of the window, I only get to select a colour, not an image [18:39] <__Alex_> Is there a way to remove the ugly Thick Ubuntu bar from the Default install of Ubuntu? [18:40] Pici: You have the precision of a bot :) [18:40] edbian: thanks ;) [18:40] Pici: If we can't tell the difference. Maybe you are a bot... [18:40] stealz: oh but it is possible to actually change the background [18:40] Pici = Cleverbot? O_o [18:40] Pici, well either way I love seeing someone get pwnt for being an ass. [18:40] ubottu, do you think Pici is a bot ? [18:40] edbian: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:40] lol [18:40] giraffy, fdisk doesn't know anything about gpt as far as i can tell. gdisk understands both and can deal with hybrid partition tables [18:41] #ubuntu+1 [18:41] giraffy, parted/gparted knows about both, but doesn't do a good job exposing the complexities of hybrids [18:41] Any ideas as to why my ssh transfers are running so slowly over a gigabit lan? [18:41] ocean, how? [18:41] giraffy, if you find it is a hybrid partition table check rodsbooks.com for some excellent documentation [18:41] chamunks: because encryption happens too [18:42] <__Alex_> Is there a way to remove the ugly Thick Ubuntu bar from the Default install of Ubuntu? [18:42] Myrtti, hmm but both computers are fairly high end machines. === sergio_ is now known as Guest16595 [18:42] stealz: 10.04 right? [18:42] chamunks: ftp is king for speed if you're doing lots of transfers, it might be worth setting up [18:42] hello, is there a way to click a certain icona nd it will go straight to you r desktop without having to minimize all open programs? like in windows, you click it and it shows desktop [18:43] bsdunix, do you think that I could rsync over ftp? [18:43] oCean, to make myself clear: I have something like this: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SEbMh2ospl8/TX9sgmvgZ2I/AAAAAAAAAgg/U8zAp-n2isg/s1600/Ubuntu-login-screen.jpg and I want it to look more like this: http://slim.berlios.de/themes/slim-lake.jpg [18:43] __Alex_, try the classic desktop, the left panel can only be reduced in width. [18:43] oCean, yes [18:43] chamunks: it still isn't instantaneous. if you're in a LAN and don't have to worry about file encryption, try some other method like ftp, samba or nfs [18:43] oCean, I already changed what would be the desktop wallpaper [18:43] chamunks: not sure how to implement that [18:43] seanmc98 theres a way to do it with KDE but i dunno if you're using KDE [18:44] escott: thanks, I'm downloading gparted iso right now, will check out rodsbook.com and then will probably try gdisk first to see if it can bypass this "busy" stuff. Thanks for the info. [18:44] oCean, I want the login window where you enter your info be transparent, except for the button where you select the user and the input box [18:44] bsdunix, because as far as I know rsync is by far the best method of copying something with any sort of assurances that your data is intact. [18:44] stealz: aah, the actual loginbox [18:44] oCean, yes [18:44] Myrtti, I'd like to use ftp but still would like the precision of rsync. [18:45] chamunks: you're correct there about rsync, i'd just use that [18:45] stealz, just so there is no confusion, that berlios screen cap is using a different DM called Slim, not GDM [18:45] stealz: ok, sorry, don't know about that. And haven't a 10.04 available to try [18:45] zykes-, I know [18:45] Dynetrax, im using basic 11.04 with unity [18:45] hey guys, want to connect to my friends computer through ssh, even he is using ubuntu, i use ssh friend_username@ip_address , is that correct ?? [18:45] chamunks, you can use rsync over rsync protocol (unencrypted) [18:45] I wouldnt know how to do what you're asking ith unity. I dont use unity [18:45] I was just thinking it should be possible to just make the window background transparent, didnt want to install a different login manager for that [18:45] Hi all! I need help with something... Id rathe not reformat/reinstall my computer from scrats.... heres what I did: [18:45] ip_address is external [18:45] pratz: Yes, your friend will need to make sure that they are forwarding port 22 from their router to their computer though. [18:46] bsdunix, escott seems to have mentioned something of interest thanks for your attention to my issue :) [18:46] oCean, thanks anyways [18:46] zykotick9, I was just thinking it should be possible to just make the window background transparent, didnt want to install a different login manager for that [18:46] escott, hi again. Thanks for pointing this out I will look into it some. [18:46] chamunks, you just need to enable an rsync server on one of the machines [18:46] chamunks: my experience with rsync was that i could have it copy over only diff between endpoints and resume broken transfer and verify. lovely stuff, indeed. try scp yet? [18:46] Pici: but when i try to connect , i get no route to host [18:46] I ran a "chown root -R /usr" [18:46] (Did I just hear the comlete linux community face slap itself....?) [18:46] Dont ask me why... I was young and careless... [18:46] Please... can I fix this without reinstalling everything??? [18:46] NorthByNorthWest: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:47] Dynetrax, i want to try gnome but i know that you cant revert back to unity [18:47] pratz: Can you ping that address? [18:47] stealz, unfortunately GDM isn't very configurable these days, best of luck. I certainly have no suggestions. [18:47] !hello [18:47] Pici: just hold on [18:47] bsdunix, I just have some 500 gigs of very important data to be transferred from a harddrive that was in a bad computer. [18:47] Pici: no i can not ping the address [18:47] .: 49: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars [18:47] why? [18:47] bsdunix, I really dont want to take any chances and I dont really care for the encryption overhead anyways. [18:48] trying to restart [18:48] zykotick9, thanks. The Idea I had was to launch ccsm from the login screen, but that didnt work either. Gonna keep trying =) [18:48] Still, I wonder if there's something different about how Ubuntu tries to mount stuff. Friends using slackware haven't had this problem. Isn't there a way to get Ubuntu to recognize that the disk isn't really busy, or is Ubuntu continuously trying to mount something that it can't mount? [18:48] pratz: That might be an issue, most of the time residential ISPs still allow pings to be sent. Perhaps you don't have the IP correct? [18:48] escott, hmm I'm starting to think that I have no idea how to get started in using the rsync protocol [18:48] stealz: found this: https://answers.launchpad.net/gdm2setup/+question/101329 It seems not an easy task [18:49] giraffy, once you unmount the partition nothing should mount it again until you hotplug the device [18:49] escott, for the unencrypted transfer. do i need a daemon running on the target? [18:49] chamunks, yes you would need to enable an rsync server === easter_egg is now known as court_jester [18:50] chamunks, rsync can use SSH for some things? never used that method myself, but seen the option. [18:50] escott, ok I may need to bug you again as I'm not really familiar with this sort of setup. [18:50] chamunks, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [18:50] escott: This disk was never mounted. Just for luck, I gave the unmount command to /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. Response: not mounted. [18:50] Pici: my friend visited whatsmyip.com and then gave me his ip address [18:50] Pici: then is that ip wrong ?? [18:50] i got what i want ..... thanks guys [18:50] pratz: No, thats probably right. [18:51] umount, obviously. [18:51] Pici: then what may be the issue ?? [18:51] pratz are you using the right port? === Amaranthus is now known as Amaranth [18:51] pratz: Are you getting the same 'no route to host' when you try to ping it? === acidrain is now known as [THC]AcidRain [18:51] giraffy, you could try and lsof the files and see if anything pops up [18:52] Pici: yes [18:52] chamunks: here is one of my history uses of rsync; #rsync -avrt --delete rsync://centos.mirrors.tds.net/CentOS/5/os/x86_64 \ [18:52] zykotick9, im targeting a ssh endpoint hence my issues but I think that escott has pointed out that if i learn how to use the rsync daemon on my freenas box I can do this unencrypted. [18:52] Dynetrax: port 22 correct ?? [18:52] quick question... If I want to have a persistent, bootable Ubuntu disk on a 4GB drive, how much space will I need for the casper-rw file? [18:52] pratz: Can you ping anything else outside of your network on that computer? [18:52] pratz is the computer you're trying to connect to behind a router? [18:53] if i got my friends ip address then what can i do ??? [18:53] bsdunix, that looks about right. === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [18:54] Dynetrax: no, we both are using WiBro connection [18:54] escott: ok, thanks === court_jester is now known as Ayrton [18:54] Pici: yes i can ping google.com [18:55] bsdunix, thank you for a good example now i just need to figure out how freenas handles rsync from the web gui. [18:55] you're both on the same network then pratz? [18:55] Dynetrax: no ,we both are using same service providers service and the technology is wibro [18:56] Dynetrax: i am not that good at networking, but i know they are using wibro tech [18:56] chamunks, if you have a mount from your freenas box (samba/nfs) on your local machine, just use that mount for your rsync command... [18:57] chamunks, ie. your freenas box doensn't need any rsync support, just the file sharing it already uses [18:58] zykotick9, hmm well i guess I could try that :P hmm ok well basically my understanding of it now is that rsync prefers unencrypted channels first. [18:58] zykotick9, but it generally can aim for encrypted src/dest's [18:59] chamunks, i've never used rsync's "encrypted" options before, i've used rsync over ssh channels though. I'm not sure what your asking exactly. But rsync can be used to copy/move files around a local computer as well, i just consider it an advanced copy tool. [18:59] chamunks, rsync is just a protocol for transmission of data, its rather agnostic regarding the channel. you tunnel it over ssh and you get overhead for ssh, you tunnel it over nfs/samba you get overhead there. the least overhead is to have to distinct rsync servers on the different machines [19:00] lol ubuntu in a virtual box oon ubuntu [19:00] Would i have to have a spotify premium account to run the spotify linux client?? [19:00] Dynetrax: yup [19:00] lol i installed windows 2000 inside windows xp inside windows 7 once, just out of boredom [19:00] Dynetrax: windows client runs in wine fine, too, though [19:01] Dynetrax: Pici any idea guys ?? [19:01] Pratz i wouldnt know what to do with a wibro connection, never fiddled with that kinda networking [19:01] i'd say try a different remote connection protocol? [19:02] Dynetrax: but i can ping all other ip [19:02] Dynetrax, thats like super inception [19:02] lol [19:02] zykotick9, my problem currently is that I'm usually experiencing painfully slow (3mBps) xfers over my gigabit lan [19:02] pratz: Does the ip that your friend gave you match what you see when you go to whatismyip.com or ipchicken.com ? [19:02] any mac-linux people here? [19:03] Pici: no my ip is different [19:03] is there a way to burn iso on a mac? [19:03] hey guys, i messed something up with my ubuntu partition a bit ago and was wondering how i can COMPLETELY uninstall so that i can reinstall fresh, because it seems every time i reinstall using the uninstall-wubi.exe and then wubi.exe again, the same problem comes back [19:03] Pici: my friend has visited whatismyip.com and he sent me his ip address [19:03] escott, exellent well I've found a decent tutorial on FreeNAS 's rsync server so now I just need to point the destination at my target module. [19:03] gparted, erase and formate [19:04] silverarrow, was that to me ? [19:04] what does this mean? :sprocket is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [19:04] noneabove, sorry yes [19:04] chamunks: that's too slow for overhead of encryption to account. you have some major bottleneck elsewhere, provided your definition of fast machines is as i assume... [19:04] i am sprocket and im trying to do s sudo apt get [19:04] NS_tech: it means you don't have permission to run sudo [19:04] i used to [19:04] silverarrow, whhats this gparted thing? can you go a bit more step by step or give me a guide to follow ? [19:04] NS_tech, sprocket is not in the admin group. only the admin group is allowed to sudo [19:04] ok [19:04] pratz: I'm not sure what to suggest then. [19:05] how do i get back in the admin group [19:05] Pici: but that is the standard way , right ?? [19:05] pratz: Yes, it is. I suspect something else is going on, perhaps your provider has done something weird. [19:06] bsdunix, well my main box is a 6core amd 3.7ghz and the freenas box is my old quad core 3ghz and its all pushed over gigabit lan my smb xfers can handle sometimes upto 50mBps [19:06] chamunks: army artilley labs made a small c code server/client throughput metrix gathering tool. maybe search for it. quite handy for identifying bottlenecks [19:06] how do i get back in the admin group? [19:06] silverarrow ? [19:06] NS_tech, add yourself to the admin account with a user who is a member. if this is your only user boot the livecd chroot in as root and add yourself there [19:07] noneabove, gparted is a partitioning tool, it is there in the live CDs on Ubuntu and Linux, but can be downloaded an burned for separate boot up cd too [19:07] Pici: no i try to ssh , i am getting destination host unreachable [19:07] NS_tech, if you type "groups" in a terminal, does it show admin? [19:07] bsdunix, I really dont know where to begin looking for that tool :S [19:07] hi guys [19:07] test [19:07] no i lost all my user groups i used to have [19:07] bsdunix, http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=army+artilley+labs+bottleneck+identifying+tool#hl=en&sa=X&ei=1zNATt6JHM_FsQKhkoE2&ved=0CBkQvwUoAQ&q=army+artillery+labs+bottleneck+identifying+tool&spell=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=9eeecae9766a8360&biw=760&bih=825 is basically what I ended up with. [19:07] Pici: any idea i am getting distination host unreachable [19:07] pratz: Thats better than no route to host. Are your use that your friend's ssh server is running and is running on port 22? And that they've forwarded the proper port? [19:08] silverarrow, i can use that even if i used the "install on windows" thing ? [19:08] i must have accedentally removed them when ai added myself to the vboxsf group [19:08] !test [19:08] tomtiger11_, are you testing something? [19:08] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [19:08] bsdunix, sorry for the ugly link google is apparently bad for that. [19:08] noneabove, yes [19:08] noneabove, but you might have to fuzz a bit with grub [19:08] how can i make my nautilus open with different tabs ? [19:08] NS_tech, be careful when using usermod and always use the -a option. assuming this is your only user you need to chroot in [19:08] tomtiger11_: remove that bot [19:08] NS_tech, try logging into "recovery mode" from Grub - then re-add your user to proper groups. Oh and learn to add users to groups properly ;) [19:08] silverarow, and theres no other way with wubi? just want to make sure before i go out and find my usb or a cd haha [19:09] Pici: how to check if he has forwarded the proper port ?? [19:09] pratz: You need to ask him. [19:09] thanks ill try the recovery mode [19:09] Pici: i am afraid he is not that technical guy [19:10] noneabove, there might be, do you have a windows recovery cd? At least it can erase and reformate with ntfs file system [19:10] tomtiger11_: thanks [19:10] NS_tech, you will also want to add yourself to plugdev cdrom sambashare lpadmin (dialout adm) not sure what the last two do === mang0 is now known as Olson` [19:10] Pici: how do i restart ssh server on my computer ?? === Olson` is now known as mang0 [19:10] ok, how do i log in in recovery mode? [19:10] pratz: sudo service ssh restart [19:10] !test [19:10] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [19:11] . [19:11] NS_tech, do you see grub menu? if not, hold shift while booting. [19:11] silverarrow, well i mean ive been able to uninstall it using wubi but for some reason every time i reinstall the same problem comes back (it gets stuck in boot up once in awhile, then when i install the driver for my graphics card it says i can no longer use unity) [19:11] NS_tech, reboot and select it from the grub menu. if your grub menu doesnt appear you have to press and hold some key not sure which [19:11] oh yeah [19:11] escott, shift for grub2 [19:12] noneabove, hmm, I'm not shore why you get that [19:12] noneabove, though I have had similar happen to me [19:12] Pici: when i ping to my friends ip i get destination host unreachable , any ideas ?? [19:13] pratz: Its possible that they're blocking ICMP packets. [19:13] oCean, just saw the link you posted me [19:13] i held the shift key and it said loadign grub but no menu came up [19:13] pratz, it may not be a global ip address. if it is 127.0.* then it is behind a nat and not a global ip [19:13] oCean, seems helpful, but as you said, not an easy task [19:13] oCean, thanks a lot [19:13] chamunks: ttcp is what i was referring to. sorry [19:13] silverarrow, yea it was all fine until i tried to install more drivers from my graphics card the other day because i have a switchable graphics card so i wanted it using the good one, then all of a sudden it switched out of unity, and then when i reinstalled it gets stuck on a boot screen after i do the updates (like when you install and run first time theres updates it asks you to install) [19:13] escott: what does that exactly mean [19:13] got it [19:14] Pici: escott both mine and my friends ip address start from 113 [19:14] pratz: Thats fine. [19:15] pratz, network address translation, its a subnet that is not visible to the rest of the internet. 113 is a global ip though. you could try and traceroute to it === urock is now known as uRock [19:16] what is the name of the package for the dictionary, which is normally under the Office menu? [19:17] silverarrow, gonna try ANOTHER install, one last time, see if it works... [19:17] uRock: aSpell? [19:17] Is linux realy beter, then Windows? [19:17] yes [19:17] G-host, no [19:17] goodbye === whitesquall1 is now known as Whitesquall [19:17] Why? [19:17] Urock: apt-cache search office | grep -i dict may show it [19:17] thanks bsdunix [19:17] It depends on your definition of better. It's different, and some people like it more than windows, but you'll never know if you don't try it. [19:18] G-host: apples and oranges (also your off-topic) [19:18] ActionParsnip: (btw, package names are lowercase) [19:18] ActionParsnip, I recently dumped xubuntu by installing ubuntu-desktop and it didn't install the dictionary. WIll give your command a shot\ [19:18] G-host: depends on requirements. One OS isn't universally better than another. Each has its own strengths === mint is now known as Guest2200 === Guest2200 is now known as Felix_Indahous [19:19] Pici: cool, was covering the descriptions too ;-) === Felix_Indahous is now known as Felix_Indahouse [19:19] G-host, plus we all know that the CPM was the Best OS ever out.. :) [19:19] And it is right answer!)

[19:26] aswift: Check network cables, the router, the NIC. Check to see if there is an IP conflict.... there are a number of possibilities. [19:26] ActionParsnip: ah it was the non-free which was for transition [19:26] aswift: You would have to tell us some specific information about your situation before we could give you any type of specific advise. [19:27] aswift; man ifconfig, route ifup, see /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts [19:27] okey-dokey [19:27] Xerox1: it is the adobe 64bit flash. Works a lot cleaner imho [19:27] even with all my frustrations with linux, its still awsome [19:27] ActionParsnip: thx, will give it a try [19:27] xerox1, actually that flashplugin-installer SHOULD be installing up-to-date 64bit Flash... [19:28] zykotick9: yes, but i didn't :) [19:28] i have had more issues with linux (mostly cause its a non-pure linux) than i ever have had with windows, but i still like it better [19:28] xerox1, i re-ran it the other day to update my installed flash on one machine [19:28] zykotick9: did it work? [19:29] xerox1, well yes, but perhaps the debian vs ubuntu makes a difference? [19:29] Have a problem ((. Webcam is defined as the keyboard and does not work. Please help [19:29] aswift: primarily; ifconfig. see interface name. then dhclient (interface name) - then call route. see that only one default gateway route exists and there is a generic subnet route both for said interface. [19:29] hm...i have had these issues with ubuntu 9.04 and lenny [19:30] most times a simple link helped...not this time [19:30] den4ik_13rus: does cheese show it ok? [19:30] Why would I get a Network is Unreachable when I try to ping a multicast address? [19:30] Black screen( [19:30] and how would I fix the problem [19:30] aswift: but seeing that you're doing wireless; router and winterface configs must match also [19:31] xerox1: debian lenny is offtopic here anx jaunty is eol, so also offtopic [19:31] ActionParsnip: i know... only reacted to zykotick9 [19:32] hello, i am a friendly PA for CyberSurfer [19:32] Gotcha [19:32] mplayer show green screen( [19:32] hey guys [19:32] hello! I just installed xubuntu on my laptop and am finding it's default configuration is not as gentle with the power management (as windows), and is completely unable to successfully hibernate & come back up, where as windows is flawless at this. Is this to be expected / dependent on laptop? or are there configurations I can go dig into and possibly improve the situation? [19:32] what i didn't know is, that 9.04 questions are not answered any longer - it hasn't been that long [19:32] den4ik_13rus, nvidia? try "mplayer -vo x11 foo" [19:33] it seems strange that it can be working for 20mins and then suddenly stops working. I have ran ifconfig and wlan0 is up and running. route gives 3 destinations, 192.168.137.0, link-local, and default. [19:33] b0ot: We would need to know some specific information about your network and PC before being able to help you with any specific advise. [19:33] , ATI.. [19:33] what group has network access?

[19:35] no but people on irc have to be a bit computer savvy so its likely they will own a bot net [19:35] CyberSurfer: that would be an assumption [19:35] aswift: i would suspect driver for the netbook's wireless interface or poor signal strength. for driver: dmesg | less (look for driver load on last boot) lsmod | grep (driver name) then check logs /var/log/messages, etc [19:35] CyberSurfer: this isn't anything to do with ubuntu, so can we please drop the topic [19:35] ok [19:35] with webclients making IRC easy and accessible, I would not agree [19:35] Hi, a friend of mine is have an issue booting from a Live CD Ubuntu he says all that comes up when he boots from the disk is a blinking cursor then it shuts down.

[19:48] slart: none of the information can allow me to identify it. they all say device 1 and linux foundation [19:48] i got it installed on lenovo ideapad [19:49] Does anyone know of a good solution to accomplishing this? [19:49] GTRsdk: There are a number of options. I use x11vnc on server end and vncviewer (part of tightvnc) on client end.

BUT, you can install xtightvncviewer tightvncserver on both and that will work too. [19:50] ok i can get out i can ping 74.125.226.144 but i cant ping google.com [19:51] Hey guys, i was wondering if ubuntu 11.04 is PAE Enabled and address's 4GB of ram?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [19:51] GTRsdk: Probably just install tightvncserver & xtightvncviewer on both and see if you like what you have. If not, try x11vnc [19:51] cause thta was the last thing i changed before it stopped working [19:52] wifihelp_: I've got a d-link DWA-140 myself that I haven't been able to use in ubuntu.. but perhaps your model is better supported [19:53] hm [19:53] says for 10.04 and 9.04 [19:53] i guess 11.04 is just enabled by default?

[19:56] fosburg, uname -a [19:56] fosburg: uname -a [19:56] brb [19:56] fosburg, "uname -m" [19:56] fosburg: that will tell you the name of your kernel.. 64 bit kernels end in a special way [19:56] like maybe a 9690sa-4i card? - well. yes i have had this occur. [19:56] if it tells something about i386... it isn't [19:57] bsdunix: it's a 9550SX-4LP [19:57] bsdunix: how did you fix it? [19:57] bsdunix: scanning with tw_cli just says, no drive connected to port [19:58] HSL: double check power to the drives. make sure you clear all existing RAID configurations in 3DM2 and check system bios settings. then check drive jumpers [19:58] it might be that powersave is being turned on for wlan0, how do I disable this? [19:58] Hi there. I can't start my Transmission... The error-message I get: "Couldn't open '/home/paul/.config/transmission/lock': In/out-error" I'm not sure if the translation where okay.. [19:59] uname -m how do I find that? Not sure how to look at the kernel [19:59] bsdunix: they where working fine before a reboot yesterday :/ [19:59] bsdunix: and what is 3DM2? [19:59] fosburg, in a terminal type "uname -m" what is the output? [19:59] NS_tech: You should also be in plugdev [19:59] fosburg: sorry.. you open a terminal.. like a command line window.. then type uname -m [19:59] ok thanks [19:59] SoftarPaul, http://www.rhyshale.com/blog/archives/307 [19:59] HSL: 3DM2 id the GUI configurator for the controller. [19:59] fosburg: on my machine.. that is running 64 bit ubuntu it will print out x86_64 [20:00] bsdunix: I'm on a gui-less server [20:00] how to get fork function definition? [20:00] bsdunix: and yes, it's remote :) [20:00] HSL: i would suspect your system bios setting; set to legacy sata or use onboard sata controller - etc [20:00] hwilde: Thanks a lot! [20:01] bsdunix: that's weird, i didn't change the bios and it worked fine yesterday :) [20:01] Anmol, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28operating_system%29 [20:01] HSL: and last of all; the worst case scenario; bad drives. [20:01] aswift: I doubt that the WiFi nic has a powersave function. [20:01] Hello, I need some help ASAP. My friend is trying to backup some files via a Ubuntu Live CD. He is having an issue with a blinking cursor then it shuts down. Any help? [20:02] HSL: 3DM2 does work with remote servers === max is now known as Guest73025 [20:02] dyjodapa, is the computer working properly or is something on it dead? [20:02] !bye [20:02] Au revoir! [20:02] !bye [20:02] dyjodapa: having an issue with a blinking curser when it shuts down? What do you mean by that? [20:02] HSL: is there any way to check these drives? [20:03] dyjodapa, try an old ubuntu livecd (if you have one), try a non-ubuntu livecd, or see if nomodeset is an option for the ubuntu livecd. If it is shutting down, probably no livecd will work. [20:03] bsdunix: yeah I have to drive to the datacenter tomorrow. [20:03] dyjodapa: you do need a minimum amt of RAM to load a Live CD, is it an older computer? [20:03] i looked in the /var/log/pm-powersave.log and on of the last entries was "Turning powersave for wlan0 on...Done" [20:03] !tomtiger11 [20:03] dyjodapa: Here is a good one: http://www.slax.org/ [20:04] tomtiger11_: please use the bot in private: /msg ubottu !bot [20:04] HSL: most suspect is that a reboot - then this. boot device maybe never set properly in system bios? [20:04] ok !bye [20:05] His system crashed and he is trying to recover imprortant files. When he tries to boot from a CD all that comes is a blinking cursor then it shuts down. [20:05] aswift: If this is a laptop, check to see if the WiFi device is toggled off, (via switch or kestroke combo, such as F-key). [20:05] dyjodapa: He may have a problem with RAM. [20:05] bsdunix: not likely, last few reboots I had no problems at all [20:06] dyjodapa: If there are more than one stics of RAM, remove one and try again, if same thing happens, switch to another one and try again. [20:06] no both have the wireless is on, and the scp was working for the first 20mins or so and then stopped [20:06] dyjodapa: you may want to just recommend he purchase an external USB enclosure, pop the hard drive in there, and retrieve the files that way [20:06] zykotick It said i686 when I entered the line uname -m [20:07] fosburg, so that's 32bit [20:07] dyjodapa: If it only has one stick of ram, try re-seating it. Next, try another knon-to-be-good RAM stick. === Gujs_ is now known as Gujs [20:07] !tab > fosburg [20:07] fosburg, please see my private message [20:07] Ok, I will ask him about the RAM [20:07] Universial USB-Hard Drive Adaptor. does Ide/sata/laptop sized ide. all in one.. like $25 - Worth the$$$$ :) [20:07] thanks--is there a way to change the speed [20:07] hello! is anyone can help me? [20:07] ubuntu 11.04, notebook Asus A6000 [20:07] wifi interface detected but DISABLED [20:07] Fn+F2 doesn't work [20:07] HUYA: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [20:08] fosburg, you can't go from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling (currently) [20:08] dyjodapa: Ok, good. But that is only one of several possibilities. The first thing to check is RAM because it is most likely. [20:08] HSL: then two drives going at once under these circumstances does point to loss of that sata channel on controller [20:08] anyone use gnump3d? === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [20:09] Zopiac, I used to. Had issues with id3 tags. [20:10] zykotick9: you got it working externally though? I can't get my music to show online [20:10] HSL: i don't think card is really bad. i had this recover once after resetting everything on controller. they go bonkers at times [20:10] anyone here likes turtles [20:10] Zopiac, yes i had it working externally. [20:10] bsdunix: or it's the firware on the drives. [20:11] bsdunix: yeah, resetting is not really ideal :-) [20:11] I can access it (http://zopiac.dyndns-server.com:8888) but cant see my music [20:11] I have its root folder set for one of my music folders, but nothing is showing. zykotick9, would you be able to help me with this? [20:11] HSL: subtle hint; R1-soft [20:12] can i list all unix groups on the system ?' [20:12] Zopiac, probably not. but have you tried restarting the server? "sudo /etc/init.d/gnump3d restart" sorta thing? [20:12] bsdunix: whut? [20:13] zykotick9: yeah I have, still nothing. Even trying just "gnump3d --root=/path/to/music" doesn't work. [20:13] Zopiac, sorry it's been too long, I simply don't recall. Best of luck. [20:13] zykotick9: all right, thanks anyways [20:14] HSL: i have since implemented xenserver/gluster and i no longer worry about loss of data from failure like this. R1-soft backup solution. pretty good stuff [20:14] bsdunix: yeah I was thinking of getting rid of my server and get 4-5 VPS servers [20:15] HSL: 4-5 virtual private server servers huh [20:15] ok my laptop is fine, I am using to communicate here therefore internet is fine. The asus eeepc 1005ha keeps losing the wireless connection whilst I am using scp even though it is less than 3m from the router. I no longer have internet access on the netbook until I reboot it... [20:16] aswift: As a work around you can try removing the module and reinserting it using modprobe -r and modprobe commands [20:17] edbian: -servers :P [20:17] zykotick9: ah, I was able to get it. huzzah! [20:17] Zopiac, nice :) [20:17] HSL: :) [20:18] edbain: sorry what is the module name I should remove? is it the driver ath9k? [20:19] aswift: You can find out the exact name by looking at the device in the output of sudo lspci -k [20:19] can anyone help me with Glade? [20:20] how do I install a rt2870sta driver? [20:21] ok that got the wireless back up === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [20:21] hi, please do you know, where can i find shared folder from virtualbox in ubuntu? [20:21] aswift: So, you can do that each time (not really a good solution I know) [20:21] aswift: I think there is a bug in the wifi driver. scp should not cause the connection to drop (obviously) [20:22] Hey guys, I know this isn't the channel for GS, but their IRC is so damn underpopulated, so please, if anybody has experience with gnome-shell, please query me. Thank you. [20:22] KNUBBIG: You want us to ask you questions about gnome-shell? [20:22] @.@ [20:22] edbian: no I need help =( [20:22] KNUBBIG: oh sorry :( [20:23] edbian: no problem :-=) === sergey23 is now known as subzero [20:23] Do more people have the problem that f-spot crashes. === subzero is now known as sub-zero [20:23] It crashed on date. === sub-zero is now known as Sub-Zero [20:23] I am not sure, but I think it has a problem with on reading the date or with localization.

[20:28] I mean, shotwell looks nice, but there is no button to import photos from my android or did I miss something. [20:29] <|Slacker|> Somelauw: guess you missed something [20:29] f-spot doesn't work anymore. Even after I remove my configuration it crashes again, if I try to sync it with android. [20:29] ice799: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [20:29] guys there is a driver for a usb adapter I want to install but don't know how to [20:29] NEvermind, I found it. [20:29] edbian: why is this so much work [20:29] <|Slacker|> okies ;) [20:29] ice799: Can you elaborate? [20:29] sous: What kind of adapter [20:29] reporting a bug [20:30] is such a pain [20:30] Maybe f-spot was removed for a reason. === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [20:30] <|Slacker|> i find it pretty much simple and straight foward [20:30] i need to create a launchpad account bleh [20:30] bkerensa: DLink DWA-125 Wifi adapter [20:30] true for the first time, but if it weren't, the devs might be spammed with bug reports :-) [20:30] bkerensa: it used to work before I update to 11.04 [20:30] like "my screen went blue plox fix" ;) [20:30] nah thats simple KNUBBIG [20:30] ice799: Umm, I think it's the culmination of a lot of things. e.g. that bugs are hard to fix unless excruciating detail is given. Plus launchpad is a forum (or sorts) so they have to keep bots / spammers out. [20:30] <|Slacker|> sous: what's the chipset [20:30] im a dev [20:30] anyone good with Glade interface editor? [20:30] Somelauw, ding ding ding! ;) f-spot may stand for fail-spot, but i'm not sure. [20:30] and i just ignore bug reports [20:31] ice799: I agree it seems more difficult than it needs to be. There is a GUI tool in Ubuntu I think. [20:31] <|Slacker|> sous: I think you've restarted your system after the upgrade [20:31] ice799: reportbug ? [20:31] <|Slacker|> s/think/believe [20:31] zykotick9: Maybe, I am too lazy to find the place to report this bug and to remove private info from the debug output. [20:32] Slacker: not sure what that means but when I plug it in its recognized and it says Ralink and displays wifi names [20:32] Although that is the right thing to do in such a siutation. [20:32] <|Slacker|> sous: so..it's being recognized [20:32] sous: ya [20:32] <|Slacker|> sous: do ya get any error msgs or it just doesn't connect [20:33] Does anyone know why after suspending my laptop power use remains at least 75-100% higher (7-10 watts) until I reboot? Double checked and my discrete card appears to be powered off. [20:33] slacker: doesnt connect [20:33] slacker: my normal wifi card connects. but the adapter doesnt [20:33] And then I consider myself a programmer, but I usually can't find buttons to click in a program. [20:34] <|Slacker|> sous: if you ifconfig in a terminal, do you see the adpater there? [20:34] Somelauw: that can be a pesky thing :) [20:34] slacker: lsusb sees it [20:34] Somelauw, f-spot is mono-crap anyways, perhaps a native linux app would be better ;) [20:39] <|Slacker|> sous: good, so it exists...what about ifconfig? [20:39] is f-spot not a native linux app? [20:39] usr13: it is [20:39] Does anyone know why after suspending my laptop power use remains at least 75-100% higher (7-10 watts) until I reboot? Double checked and my discrete card appears to be powered off. [20:39] one needs to define 'native linux app' [20:40] slacker: how do I know? [20:40] melanie_: Yea, well, I suppose it just means that it's not cross platform. [20:40] Hello. What can I do if the "Gnome Alsa Mixer" only opens an empty window where I can do nothing but close it again? [20:40] <|Slacker|> open a terminal and type: ifconfig -a [20:41] <|Slacker|> wifi should be representend as wlanX [20:41] usr13: that would be rather sad, actually. :) [20:41] Mrokii: Try alsamixer from terminal. [20:41] I did, with the same result [20:41] melanie_: What? What would be rather sad? [20:41] usr13: if native would imply non-crossplatform i meant! === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [20:42] usr13: I did, with the same result (sorry, forgot your nick). [20:42] slacker: I see wlan0 and wlan1 [20:42] <|Slacker|> so it's there! [20:43] slacker: yes but it doesnt connect. I think I should update the driver? [20:43] melanie_: I guess that is not a good definition "not cross platform". I'm sure there are a number of applications that are cross-platform which started life as a native linux app. There may not be a good way to define the term "native linux app" [20:43] <|Slacker|> sous: which one is the adaptor? wlan1? [20:43] Mrokii: What? Same result...? [20:44] Somelauw, usr13 melanie_ I don't consider MS's C# even if implemented on linux through Mono to be truly "native" but perhaps my initial statement went too far. [20:44] usr13: I agree. 'native app' even reminds me a bit of 'legacy app'. :) === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [20:44] if i want to add an existing user to a group i would do sudo usermod -G right? [20:44] slacker:wlan1 [20:44] hi i have the problem with apache2 it is going wild [20:45] <|Slacker|> sous: is wlan0 connected right now? [20:45] usr13: It opens an empty window labelled "ALSA Mixer" (no controls visible in it). [20:45] if yes, i have a problem :P [20:45] slacker: ya [20:45] apache2 -S [20:45] apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [20:45] <|Slacker|> if you disconnect it, does wlan1 connect? [20:45] ^^ somebdy an idea whats wrong? [20:45] Hi, I said of a issue earlier of a issue with a blinking cursor then the computer shut down. I aquired the RAM Specs it is 1GB Ram. What else could be wrong. The Computer is a Toshiba A215-S7422. [20:45] melanie_: Yea. I don't know. If you ask is gimp or firefox a linux native app? How would you answer? I don't think "linux native app" really has any meaning. [20:45] jnsl_, careful! you need "usermod -aG ..." that -a is VERY important [20:45] slacker: if I connect wlan1 tries to takeover and connect. but then it doesnt connect === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [20:46] Is mono a better or a windows only java. [20:46] Mrokii: Is your sound card enabled? (Does it have a driver loaded?) [20:46] slacker: If I connect the device itself. it tries to have priority and fails [20:46] <|Slacker|> sous: hmm...are you in a different computer? so we can do some testing? [20:46] zykotick9 that gives me same error: sudo; unable to resolve host [20:46] usr13: d'accord! [20:46] thanks everyone for your help. I have eventually managed to copy my files. It appears that the problem is that I can't have multiple scp open at once. I was trying to scp simultaneously from my laptop and my netbook... [20:46] slacker: ok just 1 sec [20:47] <|Slacker|> :) [20:47] jnsl_, if you changed your hostname, you probably broke sudo! you need to change both the /etc/hostname AND /etc/hosts - they MUST match! [20:47] usr13: Well, I can listen to music via the soundcard, so yes. My problem is that I have a headset and only the mic doesn't work, which I wanted to set via alsamixer [20:47] ahhh thanks a lot :) that was the case! ill remember that [20:48] !hostname | jnsl_ [20:48] jnsl_: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [20:48] Mrokii: So alsamixer in therminal is just blank? Hummm.... never saw that problem. [20:48] Mrokii: does it 'hang'? [20:48] slacker: its me with an extra s [20:48] Mrokii: because if it does, it might be helpful to see a strace log. [20:48] hey! [20:49] lol [20:49] <|Slacker|> ok [20:49] <|Slacker|> souss: let's do the easiest way first, aye [20:49] melanie_: I don't know if it hangs, but I can close the window without problems.

I said of a issue earlier of a issue with a blinking cursor then the computer shut down. I aquired the RAM Specs it is 1GB Ram. What else could be wrong. The Computer is a Toshiba A215-S7422. [20:51] slacker: the indicator looks like its connecting normally, but every two seconds it blinks a loading circle . ...then it fails to connect [20:51] whoops [20:51] Mrokii: it might also be helpful to figure out if you could reproduce such a 'hang' behaviour with one of the alsa command line utils (the non-interactive ones i mean) [20:52] <|Slacker|> souss: ok.. [20:52] <|Slacker|> souss: try now in a terminal window [20:52] melanie_: I don't know any of them, so I will first have to investigate that [20:52] <|Slacker|> iwconfig wlan1 scan [20:52] slacker:how [20:52] k [20:52] Mrokii: sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio [20:53] slacker: edit to my account. it says YOU ARE NOW DISCONNECTED [20:53] Mrokii: I guess one of the first things alsamixer does is something like 'get a list of all available devices'. === mack is now known as Guest39878 [20:53] <|Slacker|> souss: but does the scan detects anything? [20:53] |Slacker|: I think it's iwlist [20:53] <|Slacker|> usr13: oh yeah [20:53] <|Slacker|> thanks === aschro is now known as aschro|away [20:53] <|Slacker|> souss: sorry, my bad, try iwlist wlan1 scan [20:53] slacker: no the GUI way says that. the terminal says "unknown command "scan"" [20:54] usr13: That wouldn't be a good idea because it would deinstall ubuntu-desktop [20:54] <|Slacker|> it's because I'm dumb and told ya the wrong command [20:54] slacker: no results [20:54] <|Slacker|> hmm...not even detecting [20:54] slacker: in like 1 second [20:55] <|Slacker|> souss: hmmm... [20:55] how can i add czech language to the seamonkey mail? [20:55] <|Slacker|> souss: it's a ralink chipset right? [20:55] melanie_: taht strace command gave me a pretty long doc, but I have no clue what I should look for. [20:56] ya [20:56] slacker:ya [20:56] tomatto_: install all languages you want on the Language Support menu [20:56] Mrokii: well... [20:56] <|Slacker|> souss: weird..I have a ralink adaptor and it runs ok....have you tried checking for updates after you upgraded? === miki is now known as wrongturn [20:57] Mrokii: if the app 'hangs' then this log tells you 'where' it hangss. [20:57] Okay, the app does not hang. I can open the preferences-window, but when I try to open the soundcard properties, it crashes [20:57] Mrokii: ah, okay. [20:57] slacker: ill check [20:57] <|Slacker|> souss: okies [20:58] <|Slacker|> souss: one more question, when did you upgrade? [20:58] slacker: couple of days ago [20:58] slacker: worked fine on maverick [20:58] <|Slacker|> souss: ah ok...and you've rebooted since then I believe [20:58] Mrokii: in that case the log would point you in the direction of the crash [20:59] slacker: I think there may be a bigger problem === lion42 is now known as Guest37072 [20:59] slacker: my wlan0 does the same blinking problem but still connects? [20:59] <|Slacker|> souss: 0.o [21:00] slacker: no updates [21:00] melanie_: That gave me this in the terminal: (gnome-alsamixer:5614): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed [21:00] Segmentation fault [21:00] <|Slacker|> souss: go to a terminal and do lsmod [21:00] <|Slacker|> souss: see if the ralink module is loaded [21:00] Mrokii: that's hardly a help, I think. :-( [21:01] slacker: what does it look like [21:01] <|Slacker|> gimme a sec [21:01] slacker: rt2870sta? [21:01] does anyone know what does this command mean "sudo su - releaseuser"? specifically what is the dash ? [21:02] <|Slacker|> souss: guess so [21:02] sieson: i think it starts a login shell, no? [21:02] slacker: does my adapter have to be plugged in? [21:02] <|Slacker|> souss: it helps [21:02] <|Slacker|> :) [21:02] sieson, su - means to run somtning as root.. but that command is redundant.. sudo su, is redundant. :) [21:02] sieson, "su -" means switch user the - means, fake a login [21:02] sieson: at least this dash notation i remember from 'login' [21:02] sieson: dash is the thing which shows when you press SuperL (Windows key) [21:02] :) [21:02] ya it is [21:03] slacker: i just googled it [21:03] <|Slacker|> ok [21:03] sieson, sudo releaseuser would be the same thing.. basically [21:03] <|Slacker|> souss: let's try reloading the module ok: [21:03] <|Slacker|> souss: sudo rmmod modulename then sudo modprobe modulename [21:03] zykotick9: what do you mean by fake a login? is that the same as switch a user? [21:04] ughh im logged in as root on my server, but i cant edit /etc/sudoers, it says readonly [21:04] l [21:04] dr_willis: right, thanks [21:04] sieson, as an example (don't do this) "su -" would log in as root, with root environment and into root home folder. Using "su" would just switch to root user in current directly with the origional user's environment. [21:05] what should i chmod sudoers to ? [21:05] jnsl_, try sudo visudo [21:05] slacker: it just worked without reloading the module [21:05] slacker: it worked randomly [21:05] <|Slacker|> souss: did it connect? [21:05] melanie_: Sorry, computer crashed. I'll have a look at the tracelog [21:05] BluesKaj same, im thinking i need to chmod it ? -r--r----- 1 root root 674 2010-12-25 06:54 sudoers [21:05] zykotick9: ah right, thanks for the clarification [21:05] slacker: ya. how can we troubleshoot while its working [21:06] <|Slacker|> souss: that's a good question :p I'm just a humble user with some minor advanced skills, but apparently it was a module problem [21:06] <|Slacker|> souss: now reboot and see if it connects [21:06] slacker: what does lsmod do because it fixed it [21:06] Mrokii: damnit! :-/ [21:07] <|Slacker|> souss: lsmod only lists the active modules [21:07] slacker: hmm? [21:07] <|Slacker|> souss: rmmod removes it and modprobe loads it [21:07] hi [21:08] dr_willis: su is super user. su - someother-user would switch you to someother-user [21:08] I thought su was 'switch user' [21:08] su - was the default to switch to root. [21:08] I have A SSD disc with 12gb free. Still when I start after grub it tells med hd0 out of discspace press any key to continue. How do I get rid of this message? [21:08] su - change user ID or become superuser [21:09] 'su -' = 'su - root' but its not to be used on Ubuntu. :) so we better hush hush.. [21:09] usr13: su is switch user, without a username it assumes root [21:09] slacker: it works [21:09] dr_willis: Yes, su - with no further argument means switch to superuser [21:09] <|Slacker|> souss: guess we've solved it uh [21:09] slacker: I guess so? [21:09] ActionParsnip: Actually, it is superuser not root, but same priviledges, so essentually same in a way. [21:09] is er een nederlandse chat hier? [21:10] aghhhghgh when i edit /etc/sudoers with vim or visudo it says readonly :S [21:10] <|Slacker|> souss: I guess so, either..I believe it was some module weirdness [21:10] slacker: I just disconnected the usb and it disconnected. [21:10] dr_willis, su is switch user [21:10] as root !! [21:10] slacker: success? [21:10] <|Slacker|> souss: guess so [21:10] usr13: how is super user different to root? [21:10] socket: #ubuntu-nl [21:10] <|Slacker|> souss: connect it again and see if it works [21:10] usr13: the man page says superuser too :) [21:10] Try #ubuntu-nl [21:10] Somelauw Thank you [21:10] slacker: I did. and to a different port even! [21:11] <|Slacker|> souss: success? [21:11] ActionParsnip: It is different because logging in as root is one thing and switching to superuser is another thing. [21:11] slacker:yep [21:11] <|Slacker|> souss: cool, dude! enjoy your wifi then :p [21:11] usr13: i see, so is it a different UID? [21:11] hello [21:12] is lzma -9 the best compression available (that doesn't require obscure packages)? [21:12] !nederlands | Somelauw [21:12] fagel: The error message "out of disk" is not reffering to disk space. It means that a read was attempted past the end of the disk. This means that you have a buggy BIOS which cannot properly handle large disks, you can work around the problem by creating a small /boot partition near the beginning of the drive. [21:12] Somelauw: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [21:12] slacker: I guess you can upgrade your status from minor advanced commands guru, to super skilled magic executer [21:12] When I click on the ubuntu logo under unity and start to search the interface freezes for a moment or two then shows the results is there anyway to stop that from happening? Its a problem because my keyboard characters are typed multiple times when it happens [21:12] <|Slacker|> souss: lmao! [21:13] Looking for advice on accessing an ssh server I'm hosting from a windows computer, and transferring a file(s) between them [21:13] slacker: haha thanks man cya [21:13] <|Slacker|> souss: np dude...o/~ [21:13] <|Slacker|> another happy user :) [21:13] nessonic: what was it's name... putty?

[21:16] ActionParsnip: yeh, that's the problem I'm getting when I google- mostly chink patios of obscure tools under well-defined data. I'm compressing assorted data, but need something common like lzma, just wondering if theres something even better. [21:17] mostly comparisons of* [21:17] CoJaBo: how big is the data you are shrinking? [21:18] ActionParsnip: root is a user but superuser is not a user. when you do su - the user just gains root priviledges.

[21:18] up to 320 gb. it can't use a hojillian gigs of ram to compress, but time is a lesser issue.

Makes it look like you become root [21:20] ActionParsnip: So on a ubuntu system, sudo su or sudo su - is a valid command process. [21:21] Any idea on the unity launcher freezing? [21:21] ActionParsnip: Yes, but after becoming super user, (with command sudo su - ) You will not see root as a user (after invoking who command). [21:21] please help. After a reboot my LAN and Internet is not working. the little network icon has a white/red cross on it. It should just be dhcp from my router [21:21] It makes it very hard to pull up apps because I have to correct it all the time [21:22] ActionParsnip: Because the user has simply gained superuser privileges and a root session has not been opened. [21:23] ActionParsnip: up to 320 gb. it can't use a hojillian gigs of ram to compress, but time is a lesser issue.

[21:33] stef__: Yes, though long comments (without newlines) are greatly prefered to vegue short descriptions of problems, even without pastebin. [21:33] stef__: of course root exists?? [21:33] Jordan_U: understood, ill test more then write up one concise question [21:33] stef__: root exists and sudo su is a valid way to get to it. There is no root password.

[21:40] synapse: Ubuntu developed with users like you in mind. They have the latest software (unlike Debian) and care about their desktop hobby users (unlike fedora). [21:40] synapse: Don't be trollin' [21:41] ubuntu does not have the latest software, ever [21:41] I'll bring this to the offtopic channel if you want [21:42] synapse: why don't you switch to whatever you'd like to switch to?

Do ubuntu updates generally create new versions of files in the system or do they patch old versions? [21:45] for what its worth, man lsattr solved my problem, file was set immutable :( [21:45] quit [21:47] how can i change the grub color [21:47] natschil: it overwrites the old with the new [21:47] purple isn't manly ;d [21:47] natschil: depends [21:48] natschil: for 'configuration files' backups of the old file are usually created. other files get replaced. === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [21:48] how do i get 10.10 x64 to have flash and mp3 capability? [21:49] melanie_: ActionParsnip: so If I want some file do definately keep some changes I make to it, what would be the best way to do so even that the changes survive any minor updates... patch the file on every update? [21:49] natschil: what file are we talking about? [21:49] bigtom21485: there is a PPA with 64bit flash if you want === Ramses_ is now known as Ramses__ [21:49] melanie_: say /etc/init.d/somescript. [21:50] melanie_: say I wanted to make it do something before it does something else. [21:50] natschil: not sure there dude [21:50] natschil: Any files in /etc/ which have been modified by the user should, by debian policy, never be overrwritten without user consent. [21:50] actionparsnip: can you remind me how to go about doing that? [21:50] Jordan_U: what about /lib/ ? [21:51] Jordan_U: thanks. [21:51] and this time im gunna write it down in case i have to do another computer install [21:51] ActionParsnip: I can create a patch that has my changes, my q [21:51] uestion is how to make that persistent. [21:51] natschil: for /lib there's no such policy, i _think_. [21:52] natschil: That said, you will usually be prompted on every package update which modifies that file if you want to replace the file, keep the current one, try a merge etc. [21:52] natschil: actually the clean solution would be to add some kind of 'hook'-mechanism to allow for your situation, if it makes sense. [21:52] Jordan_U: but that is only for configuration files, no? [21:52] natschil: Files in /lib/ I believe will always be replaced, unless you use dpkg-divert to explicitly prevent that for a given file. [21:52] Hi, I am trying to help one of my friends recover some files. He says everytime he tries to boot up all he gets is a blinking cursor then the PC shuts down. Windows crashed so that is why I am trying to recover these files the computer has 1 GB RAM and the Computer is a Toshiba A215-S7422. Please help ASAP. [21:52] melanie_: Jordan_U: yese, probably something like that. I mean the user may not know what to choose, and it would suck if security updates were not applied just to keep my minimal changes to the file. [21:52] purple isn't manly ;d [21:52] how can i change the grub color [21:53] natschil: What is your actual problem? [21:53] Jordan_U: I see, dpkg-divert may be my friend. let me look at the man page. [21:53] Jordan_U: that I have a modification to a file in /lib/ that is essential to the system, but that I still want security updates to be appliable to the file, for example. [21:55] natschil: Please describe your exact situation in detail. [21:56] Jordan_U: that is my exact situation. Take it as a premise that I need to modify a script in /lib, and that these modifications need to be persistent, and that I am now wondering about how security updates can still be applied. [21:56] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14446548 [21:56] natschil: What file in /lib needs to be modified, how, and why? [21:56] thats a nice image [21:56] Im trying to make a persistent usb stick using the start up disk creator but its not letting me allocate space to the usb drive thus no persistence, anyone know whats going on? [21:57] natschil: how is that ubuntu related? [21:57] Jordan_U: that is irrelevant. [21:57] ActionParsnip: because I need to know how the ubuntu packaging system deals with things like that so I can solve this problem. [21:58] natschil: solve rioting in london with a package, good luck [21:58] 21:56 < ChristopherNG> Im trying to make a persistent usb stick using the start up disk creator but its not letting me allocate space to the usb drive thus no persistence, anyone know whats going on?

Many questions don't have a generic answer, and this seems like one of them. I cannot help you without specific details. Please read: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal [21:59] I just installed a new nvidia card and the nvidia acclerated graphics driver (version 173). I restarted my computer and now the Additional Drivers program says that the drivers are installed but not in use. [22:00] Bookman- i think thats a bug [22:00] Bookman: what nvidia chip is it? [22:00] Bookman: that stupid gui is very buggy [22:00] Bookman- try glxgears youll know if its nouveau or not [22:00] ActionParsnip, Geforce 6200 [22:01] Bookman: what is the output of: lsb_release -d [22:01] sudokill, glxgears gives about 800 fps [22:02] Hey [22:02] hmm maybe its nvidia, i cant tell with a 6200 tbh [22:02] nouveau gives me 1200 with gtx 460 [22:02] Jordan_U: ok. Imagine that I am modifying /lib/bridge-utils/bridge-utils.sh to include a line at the start that logs something. I want this line at the start to stay there despite security updates. [22:02] I use a 6200 and its fine :) [22:02] and 19500 with nvidia [22:02] ActionParsnip, what is your glxgears fps? [22:02] natschil: log what? [22:02] sorry to be so thick. what's the PDF Viewer from which I can copy text. Thanks so much! [22:02] Bookman, open a terminal and type sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot again if it say's command not found run sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig [22:03] tripelb- evince? epdfview [22:03] both can copy paste [22:03] evince didnt do it. I tried selecting it but no. I thought it did sudokill. [22:03] tripelb- you sure its not a scanned pdf?

[22:04] Bookman: what is the output of the command I gave please [22:04] tripelb- my bad, i cant copy either i thought you could [22:04] Jordan_U: say whenever the script was run. say it simply ran echo "The script was run" >> /var/log/some_file somewhere in the middle. sorry that I am not able to give you the exact problem, but I have my reasons for doing so. [22:04] hello, I am having issues getting grub/grub2 installed on a software RAID1 from ubuntu server 10.04. I get the following error: Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.

BTW what's a scanned pdf. - I found a site that will pronounce dutch with a choice of voices. I was stoked then "stop" [22:05] tripelb- i mean scanned with a scanner ie not actual text [22:05] natschil: 1: As long as you are starting your question with "Say I want to do X", rather than "I actually am trying to do X" I think you are missing the point. 2: I need to leave now. [22:05] :P [22:05] Guest3258, the command /nick YourNewChoice will change your nick [22:06] tripelb- is that just temp until you login again? [22:06] never tried it.. [22:06] no ideas eh?

[22:07] tripelb- im not sure. i literally only have one pdf file and i use epdfview. i cant copy text either, and i dont think its scanned in im 99% sure its not [22:07] chi: you gave the channel all of 120 seconds to answer, give them a chance [22:07] Jordan_U: look if you dont know the answer to the specific problem I have then that's fine, I do not want a way to solve the general problem, but a way to solve the specific problem of a small change to a script in /lib/ to be persistent even if there is a security update that changes the script. thanks for the help though. [22:07] tripelb- so nio idea sorry [22:07] tripelb, Ya about that, I set the stupid thing in empathy, but it keeps choosing another name everytime I log on. How do I make it permanent? [22:07] daan4711: dkpg -l cups == ii [22:08] bigtom21485: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you will be able to playMP3s [22:08] sudokill I lost context. what do you mean, is that just temp until you login again? You mean the namechange? Your original nick is primed by whatever is in your login software. watch me change. [22:08] daan4711: so there must be another package [22:08] ActionParsnip, sorry things scroll so fast here I'm not sure anyone even saw it === tripelb is now known as quadrupleb === quadrupleb is now known as tripleb [22:08] tripelb- yea changing nick. do you need to change back or will it do that by itself when you exit / login [22:08] tripleb- dont answer that lol just me being stupid [22:09] ActionParsnip, Output is: Description: Ubuntu 11.04 [22:10] slt [22:10] ici [22:10] Guest3258, tell me how you get into irc. I use 10.04 are you in Ubuntu 11.04 ? (I am in Lucid, 11.04 is Natty) I use xchat for IRC. I cant tell you about Empathy. Pidgin was standard before Lucid [22:11] Im trying to make a persistent usb stick using the start up disk creator but its not letting me allocate space to the usb drive thus no persistence, anyone know whats going on? [22:12] Bookman: I recommed you remove that driver and install nvidia-current you should get the 270 driver [22:12] Guest3258, I would guess that somehow you are not saving the setting for the nick. --- I also suggest that you go into terminal and do -- sudo apt-get install xchat2 -- this is my choice for ease. [22:12] !list [22:12] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [22:12] ChristopherNG: usb disk creator doesn't make a persistent install [22:13] ActionParsnip: start up disk creator [22:13] ActionParsnip, it used to has it changed? [22:13] tripleb, I use 10.10 Ubuntu. I log into IRC through Empathy by: Room - Join. . . . . [22:14] ActionParsnip: Start up disk creator does allow persistent install [22:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:14] looks like it does [22:15] sudokill, the program that you use to get into irc (pidgin, mibbit, xchat, and others I never used yet) is what sets the nick you have when you initiate irc and sign into the server. I would guess that somehow you are not saving the setting for the nick. --- I also suggest that you go into terminal and do -- sudo apt-get install xchat2 -- this is my choice for ease. sudokill [22:16] sudokill (amendmended: I would guess that someone who fails at that having the nick they want at login is not _saving_ the setting for the nick inside of the program that gets her or him onto IRC. [22:17] sudokill, I copied text to guest-whatever which made what I told you awkward [22:20] sudokill, look I found something. maybe I can do it anyway. thanks for telling me about "scanned text". http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=scanned+pdf [22:21] Im trying to make a persistent usb stick using the start up disk creator but its not letting me allocate space to the usb drive thus no persistence, anyone know whats going on? [22:23] ChristopherNG, what do you exacly mean by 'presistence'? [22:23] ActionParsnip, I'm pretty sure the driver is indeed working. Unity is working fine. Compiz is working great. Sysinfo program shows that the driver is running as well. Must be a problem with the Additional Drivers program. [22:25] Bookman: if it's working then I'd go with it :) [22:25] herro [22:26] Now, I do have one other unsolved issue. Ubuntu does not seem to recognise one of my SATA hard drives. It started once in awhile, but a reboot would work. Now not at all. [22:26] ChristopherNG, just install ubuntu to your USB stick. To be safe I disconnected my HDD and installed to the USB and everything works fine. [22:26] anyone vim experts? [22:28] tainted, we all use nano instead, its so cool :) . (joke) [22:28] lol [22:28] i accidentally removed my /usr/share/vim folder and apt-get remove vim | apt-get install vim doesn't fix it.. :( [22:29] i like nano :D [22:29] so yeah, thanks for the help [22:29] =( [22:29] I like nano too [22:29] guess, I'll have the customer pick a real OS [22:30] tainted: well, I'm not a vim expert, but if I were I would suggest reinstalling vim-common [22:31] chi try #ubuntu-server see if anyone can help you there [22:31] oh [22:31] thanks mASOUD_42 [22:32] th0r: doiesn't fix it [22:32] th0r: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim [22:32] seems like it didn't recreate the folder [22:34] tainted: well, I have squeeze installed and it is vim72, not vim73. and there is no syntax folder in there [22:34] argh [22:34] what is the proper way to include files in /usr/include ? [22:34] I got wireless working yesterday [22:34] How can I set dpi in Ubuntu 11.04? [22:34] now it sees the network and asks for pass then spins and spins and asks for pass again ad infinitum [22:34] how can I figure out what's going on here? [22:35] hello [22:35] tainted: I don't have all of vim installed, and don't have that folder or file. You might check in synaptic and reinstall anything 'vim'. There is vim-gnome, vim-gtk, etc....whatever you have already installed. [22:36] tainted, th0r , i have the /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim on my system. [22:36] tainted: what about downloading a tar and extract (recreate) that files manually? [22:37] what is the proper way to include files in /usr/include ? [22:39] Can I ask a question about the Ubuntu Software Center? [22:39] JohnnyZero, yes ask plz [22:39] Thing is I used to hit install and things would install. Now I click install and nothing happens. How can I fix it? [22:40] this is so ackward! ive never seen this. [22:40] bigtom21485: neither has anyone else [22:41] I can show you guys what the terminal says [22:41] If this would work [22:41] I mean help [22:41] I'll pastebin it [22:41] th0r: im installing ubuntu restricted extras and its asking me about microsoft true type fonts but after i read the agreement it won't let me click yes [22:41] and it in the tty so it wired anyway [22:41] '*wierd [22:42] bigtom21485, in the teminal hit the tab [22:42] http://pastebin.com/SiLn0Kfq [22:42] ulin2u: THANKS! 8-) [22:42] urlin2u: THANKS! 8-) [22:42] bigtom21485, I looked at it for 5min the first time that happened to me. ;) [22:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/cups is pretty embarassing. [22:43] The software center used to work. Not sure why it isn't working currently. [22:43] JohnnyZero, can you run a update upgrade in the terminal? [22:44] urlin2u, I did that and it didn't do anything unfortunately. [22:44] urlin2u: I'm trying to figure out why my wifi is slow all of a sudden when my router hasn't moved and i havent added any other computers to my network and the other computers are fast like they've always been :-( [22:45] Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu? [22:45] probably not [22:45] JohnnyZero, did you get an error in the terminal? [22:45] mh [22:45] urlin2u, nope [22:45] JohnnyZero: try starting it as sudo [22:45] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [22:46] JohnnyZero, so your saying when you ran a update upgrade nothing at all happened/ [22:46] Alright I'll try the software-center as sudo [22:46] urlin2u, yeah thats right [22:46] JohnnyZero, not a god idea. [22:46] good === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [22:46] right, urlin2u [22:47] but it should be ok just for a test [22:47] trying software center as sudo [22:47] Odd [22:47] It works in terminal as sudo [22:47] But not when you run it from the menu [22:47] If the terminal isn't running a sudo software center wont eithier. [22:48] Yeah it seems from the menu, it doesn't work [22:48] But typing sudo software-center does [22:48] JohnnyZero, did you perchance stop any installs while running them? [22:48] JohnnyZero, i think there's somethig wrong with that password asking prompt [22:49] Yeah mASOUD_42 [22:49] i got a similar problem with kpackagekit [22:49] IU think that may be it also [22:49] anyone who knows about updates and grub messups? [22:49] This is what the menu command says [22:49] /usr/bin/software-center %u [22:49] silverarrow, what's the problem? [22:49] There is no sudo before it [22:49] hello, just bought new hardware for DIY build, im runing the memtest on the ubuntu livecd, it says I have 15G of RAM, but I bought 16... is this... logical? [22:50] I have a newly installed lubuntu, and updates ruined it completely [22:50] silverarrow, can you be specific? [22:50] you mentioned grub for example. [22:51] JohnnyZero: that's correct [22:52] I see [22:52] usually grub is a hardly noticeable start up process, but now I am stuck in a black screen at bootup with the text "minimal bash line suported" or something like that, and a grub number [22:52] usually it's asking for your password, doesn't it? [22:52] urlin2u, does it make any sense? [22:52] ubuntu 11.04 GeForce GTS 360M installed nvidia driver it says = this driver is activated but not currently in use ? [22:53] silverarrow, like grub 15 error? [22:53] no, not a typical error message === matt_ is now known as Guest12850 [22:53] wait, I shall get pen and paper, computer is in a different room [22:53] Yeah it doesn't ask for a password before Ubuntu Software Center starts [22:53] silverarrow, can you still boot in or are you locked out? [22:53] Is it supposed to? [22:54] no [22:54] does php run as a daemon, or does it run as a call script? [22:54] JohnnyZero, but when you click install, it should ask [22:55] mASOUD_42, yeah unfortunately it doesn't [22:55] Just won't install [22:55] is php supposed to run as a daemon? [22:56] not really, imho [22:56] :x [22:56] JohnnyZero, i think its something wron with GTK [22:57] mASOUD_42, Is there something I need to do to fix it? Maybe reinstall the GTK VIA synaptic? [22:57] hello guys, is there somebody who could help me with installing 9800gtx nvidia drivers on ubuntu 11.04 [22:58] JohnnyZero, I don't know how to fix it, but i can google about it. [22:58] ok cool [22:58] JohnnyZero, have you checked to see if the apt/sources.list still exists? [22:59] When I go to Software Sources it asks for a password [22:59] But not when I go to install something [22:59] Hmm [22:59] Lets see if I can install now that I passworded for that [22:59] I've got a couple quick questions .. first, how do I connect to the irc through my vpn? -- 2) how do I disable sudo so that I can have scripts run admin commands? [22:59] Yes [22:59] I can install [23:00] But [23:00] Thats a silly way of doing it [23:00] Go to Software Sources just to have a password popup [23:00] urlin2u GNU GRUB version 1)) rc1-13ubuntu minimal BASH like line editing is supported. For the first word TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAV lists possible device or file completions. grub_ === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [23:00] silverarrow, did you install startup manager [23:01] does the message make any sense urlin2u. If I don´t do the update after first boot up, it will work fine [23:01] urlin2u, well I only used the default installation process from CD [23:01] and update manager [23:01] :S cant get gfx drivers to install, automatic driver tool dont detect my card, and when i run the driver from official nvidia site it says unsupported driver [23:01] silverarrow, can you get into the OS? [23:02] The problem is exactly what mausoud_42 said it was. The password prompt is not appearing before I got to install something. [23:02] no, I only get this black screen message at bootup urlin2u [23:02] However if you hit software sources the password prompt does pop up and you can then install stuff [23:02] hey [23:03] :) [23:03] i am already here [23:03] :) [23:03] dont repeat [23:03] yuka did you ask'em allready? [23:03] :) [23:03] yea [23:03] yuka: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:03] silverarrow, boot the install cd and run this script and pastebin the generated file. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [23:03] haha [23:03] yuka: you talk to fast [23:03] edbian yeah i know [23:03] urlin2u, I have suspicion something goes wrong with a grub update package, but it is not a one tine fluke, more like really faulty [23:04] JohnnyZero: at least we could nail down the problem, so i guess googling for "ubuntu software center not asking for password" or something similar would do the job [23:04] silverarrow, stranger things have happened but the bootscript will get us farther along [23:04] he could give you the password, it's pointless virtual machine anyway [23:04] :D [23:05] if he had sshd running [23:05] urlin2u, thanks, I shall reboot right away [23:05] Oh wait [23:05] AlexThunder I was wrong [23:05] I was hitting remove [23:05] No even after typing in the password in Software Sources it still will not install items [23:06] It will only remove them [23:06] and that is just 7Zip too it can remove [23:06] urlin2u, but how do I make the live CD reach the already installed os on hard disk? [23:06] silverarrow, did you see the link I posted? [23:07] yes, I am studying it [23:07] and before you hit "software sources" it wouldnt even remove things? [23:07] JohnnyZero [23:07] AlexThunder it gives me the prompt only for 7zip am I sure I want to remove this [23:07] But nothing else [23:07] silverarrow, just download the script drag it to the desk top and run the bash command sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh [23:07] silverarrow: It would be able to mount and read existing data. [23:08] I wish I could do a screen record somehow [23:08] and then show you the prob I'm kinda having [23:08] JohnnyZero, prtsc key [23:08] urlin2u, that will show you the screen [23:08] The problem I believe is that [23:09] Its not authorizing a password before an install [23:09] Synaptic does this [23:09] JohnnyZero, it takes a screen shot, you can then imagebin it. [23:09] and I can install anything in synaptic [23:09] Ok urlin2u [23:10] urlin2u, I shall logon from xchat in the live cd, then I don´t have to run from library to kitchen, to check between computers [23:10] silverarrow, good idea.;0 [23:10] 0 [23:11] http://imagebin.org/167013 [23:11] You can see install is being clicked and nothing is occuring [23:11] No windows are popping up, nothing [23:12] JohnnyZero, will that particular app install fro synaptic? [23:12] urlin2u, yes [23:12] strange [23:12] hi, where does banshee store its library data? I'm trying to figure out how to mass import radio stations. === aron is now known as Guest67603 [23:13] whats the name of the notifications, etc, that ubuntu uses for things like thunderbird, etc? I would like skype to use the same thing. I keep missing messages with the default setup of skype [23:13] how do i get mp3 for k3b? [23:13] Hello , need help ubuntu dont boot anymore on virtualbox, PLEASE HELP! [23:13] yuka: post your actual error [23:13] we cant help without info\ [23:14] MACscr.. i start virtual box [23:14] and expect to get slapped next time you shout like that [23:14] urlin2u, yes [23:14] I start virtual box, with ubuntu 11.04, and i get the red screen, doesent come to login.. it happened after i tried to install gfx driver for nvidia, and startx === ubuntu_ is now known as sliverarrow [23:15] I believe maybe yes it may have something to do with how its functioning however, even if I try to reinstall the software center the same issues keep occuring [23:15] urlin2u; I am afraid I lost the bash paste link [23:15] yuka, start VB holding down any key and see if you get a grub menu? [23:15] how do i get mp3 for k3b? [23:16] yuka: is this a new system? [23:16] silverarrow, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [23:16] urlin2u ftw [23:16] :) [23:16] now i got to the recovery menu [23:16] oh, thank you :-) [23:16] does anyone here know where banshee stores library/playlist/radio station data? [23:16] yuka, hit edit and replace splash with nomodeset hit crtl-x to boot [23:17] pgrace_, .banshee ? [23:17] ejv: doesnt appear to be. [23:17] yuka, might have to use recovery depending on the keys be used by the host or guest. [23:18] how can i come to edit [23:18] pgrace_, try .config/banshee-1 [23:18] there is options only for normal boot 2.6.38-10 generic , or recovery [23:18] does anybody know why in yuka's case graphic card doesn't get detected by that automated searched -> Hardware Drivers [23:18] wish me luck, first time cooking lamb [23:18] or something simillar on 11.04 [23:18] yuka, e at the grub menu will bring you to a edit option. [23:19] ejv: ah... the data is in banshee.db... [23:19] prodriver, yuka is in a virtual not really exactly relevant. [23:19] pgrace_, right that means its sqlite driven most likely [23:19] I know. [23:19] urlin2u : in edit i see setparams etc recordfail and so on no splash [23:19] ejv: sqlite. bleh. [23:20] but the Hardware devices searcher doesn't detects the nvidia drivers to install [23:20] gpu is not recognized [23:20] ah ok i see quiet splash vt.handoff=7 is that what i need to replace with what you said? [23:20] ejv: thanks for the help, I guess I'll need to find a sqlite interface to mass import the records. Thanks! [23:20] yuka, replace the no splash with nomodeset you will boot in in low graphics no graphic driver. [23:20] pgrace_, my pleasure [23:20] pgrace_, chances are someone has done it, when in doubt google [23:21] prodriver: When running as a guest the OS doesn't have access to the nvidia card, only Virtualbox's virtual GPU. [23:21] i am owner of this virtual [23:21] lol [23:21] no guest [23:21] no I own your box yuka [23:21] :) [23:21] Jordan_U, is that the problem yuka is having, that was a asumption on my part at least? [23:21] ejv: yeah, lots of people are complaining about the radio stations missing in banshee in 11.04, but it doesnt appear that anyone's come up with a mass-upload process yet. SQLite may be part of the search required to find the answer though. [23:21] lol [23:22] urlin2u, I am having touble making terminal finding the zip package? [23:22] pgrace_, yea I miss winamp's plethora of stations, the open source alternatives aren't there yet [23:22] I downloaded with chromium, and it is in download file I think [23:23] silverarrow. drag the script to the desktop then run the bash command with desktop in it. [23:24] urlin2u ok i done what you said, now instead of a red screen i got a black screen:) [23:24] yuka, that is about all I know to do. [23:25] :) [23:25] well guess ill have to run it in recovery then [23:25] thanks anyway mate [23:25] yuka, other then removing the drivers from the recovery cli. [23:25] urlin2u, yes, it willingly dropped to desktop, but how to extract? [23:26] silverarrow, in the terminal run sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh [23:26] I am too used to idiot proof wizards [23:26] me to at times [23:27] that is what I am doing, and I get "No such file or directory [23:27] " [23:28] I might have to extract before I use the command in terminal? [23:29] sliverarrow, no extraction it is a bash script you downloaded correct? [23:29] oh, it works [23:29] at least something happens [23:29] sliverarrow, a text file should appear. [23:30] I got this boot_info_script version: 0.60 [17 May 2011] [23:30] "gawk" could not be found, using "busybox awk" instead. [23:30] This may lead to unreliable results.

[23:32] does ubuntu do some funny stuff to the path ? [23:32] sliverarrow, did a text file appear on the desktop? [23:32] given that it does normally not allow people to login as root [23:33] sliverarrow, "RESULTS.txt"located in "/home/ubuntu/Desktop/". [23:33] there's no issues in centos / rpm based systems either [23:33] hello everyone [23:33] question here [23:33] anyone ? [23:33] Tharlinn, ask it please [23:34] dsa [23:34] running xubuntu 11.04, stuck on boot with 'xubuntu' loading - tried to get into GRUB by pressing shift multiple times on boot, it said 'GRUB loading' but after that it immediately got into the stuck 'xubuntu' loading screen [23:34] hi [23:34] how can I define a static route for ff02::1 via a given interface? [23:34] the fix might be: comment out /etc/default/grub/ GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=00. and rerun grub-update (from a LiveCD) [23:34] urlin2u there http://paste.ubuntu.com/661513/ [23:34] but how do i do that [23:35] Hi, I've got a question about a known bug and a workaround. [23:35] urlin2u, I don't really understand the error message? [23:36] anyone ? [23:36] silverarrow ? [23:36] sliverarrow: sorry [23:36] Is it possible to apply the workaround of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/661321 automatically at startup? [23:36] Ubuntu bug 661321 in linux (Ubuntu) "Opening /dev/ttyUSB0 hangs, pl2303.ko module" [Medium,Confirmed] [23:36] sliverarrow, open the terminal I will give you two commands to copy and paste to run one at a time. [23:37] Is there a separate partition for grub? [23:37] karter, you issue is above my expertise [23:37] gry: depends ~ on your setup === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:37] gry: No, but grub is written in the first sector of your hdd [23:38] urlin2u, terminal ready [23:38] How do I list partitions? [23:38] sliverarrow, let me know when you ready. [23:38] you're [23:38] gry: fdisk -l [23:38] ok [23:38] yes [23:38] gry: sudo fdisk -l [23:38] What is the linux equavalient of windows' startup folder? [23:38] ready for action [23:38] sliverarrow, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [23:39] nothing seemed to happen [23:39] It lists ntfs (the windows partition), extended (?), linux (guess the main one for ubuntu), and swap. What is the 'extended' one? [23:39] sliverarrow, wait for it [23:39] oh, of course [23:40] sliverarrow, should go quick you hit enter and whats happening? [23:40] I am a bit dim with the terminal, I should get a book or something on it [23:40] I pasted, hit enter, but get nothing [23:41] sliverarrow, get nothing means what the command is still sitting there. [23:41] ohh, I re entered and "already mounted" [23:41] sliverarrow, did you mount the OS from the cd [23:41] yes [23:42] unmount it then run the command [23:42] I am in live cd now, [23:42] hmm sudo unmount? [23:42] sliverarrow, unmount lubuntu then run the command. [23:43] a bit ticky that tone [23:43] that one* [23:43] sliverarrow, go to home in the left panel unmount the partition by clicking on the little triangle [23:43] how can I define a static route for ff02::1 via a given interface? [23:44] ...hmm... [23:44] got a quick question about my integrated sound card. [23:45] sliverarrow, can you find that partition=lubuntu in the left panel in home? [23:45] any takers? [23:45] ryan__, ask and we will see. [23:46] I am afraid not urlin2u [23:46] sliverarrow, it might be shoe=wing on the desktop as well if so right click and click unmount. [23:46] showing [23:46] under file manager?
