[00:00] Mithadon: Is there a red ! on the windows partition? [00:00] Mithadon: 11Gb is plenty [00:00] i can make 7-8gb for / formatted ext4 with 3gb swap [00:00] how does ubuntu figure out the hardware it's running on can hibernate? [00:00] Mithadon: that's fine [00:00] ok now, I should make / primary and swap logical or? [00:01] Mithadon: how many NTFS partitions do you have? [00:01] three [00:01] Mithadon, what's the purpose of the machine [00:01] this will make 5 TOTAL including some small 1gb recovery thing, windows, and data [00:01] Mithadon: then make the space you freed up into an xtended partition [00:01] Mithadon: then make your Ubuntu partitions in that [00:02] its all-purpose and i want to try out ubuntu before i decide if ill use it permanently... I'm not sure I understand ActionParsnip [00:02] Mithadon: you can only have 4 primary partitions OR 3 (or fewer) primary partitions and an extended partition [00:02] ok, so would it be fair to say this is a throwaway installation? [00:02] ig uess so [00:02] Mithadon: make all the partitions you make be logical [00:03] alright [00:03] well, I'd say just go for something [00:04] Oh christ, he left again [00:04] ActionParsnip, Lighting is not listed on Synaptic manager [00:04] you can always keep track of what you think were your mistakes (or at least what you would have done differently), and reinstall any time you want [00:04] I'm going to be demanding and ask if anyone here is willing to help me with this [00:04] hey guys [00:04] how does ubuntu figure out the hardware it's running on can hibernate? [00:04] Hey foobar1 [00:05] oh [00:05] well i wouldnt be too afraid to wipe out windows 7, in fact id like to, but i dont want to be stuck not being able to reinstall properly (i removed recovery partition) [00:05] edbian is still here [00:05] good [00:05] i have wierd problem, and tbh have tried everywhere trying to find a solution.. thought someone here might know [00:05] Sav_: haahaha [00:05] Hi [00:05] foobar1: What's the issue? [00:05] nsadmin: I think they just assume it can. [00:05] edbian: Sorry. It shows up in Windows FINE. Now it's an ubuntu problem. [00:05] nsadmin: It's not standardized which is a giant problem. [00:06] serial operation like open() or tcsetattr or flush() take exactly 5 seconds :/ [00:06] Sav_: Perhaps windows is using those files for something special and not showing you something. (That is the problem right? Strange files) [00:06] edbian: The files I put on it show up just fine [00:06] its like some driver is throttling them [00:06] edbian: Good point [00:06] Sav_: But not in Ubuntu? [00:06] edbian: Nope, weird files in ubuntu. [00:06] edbian: Was FAT 32 a bad idea? [00:06] foobar1, 5 seconds may be the fs sync barrier, but you should notice that with other applications (basically everything should be really slow) [00:07] edbian: Should I put it to something else? [00:07] Sav_: how big is the drive? [00:07] edbian: 130GB [00:07] I just changed my dns servers to google public dns, how can I test/verify that they are working and not using my comcast ones? [00:07] Sav_: should be fine. Usually for something that big though ext or ntfs is more typical [00:07] elijah, cat /etc/resolve.conf [00:08] edbian: Oh. Well, I mean, I could easily try. [00:08] edbian: Why are they more typical? [00:08] Sav_: Umm not really sure. [00:08] Sav_: They're more common on big things (bigger than a USB drive) [00:09] edbian, ok, so here's the thing... my laptop can, and ubuntu does. no problem. how would I duplicate that? what exactly is the setup? [00:09] elijah, do you have a network monitoring tool like wireshark or tcpdump on your computer? [00:09] Sav_, the are just more robust. if you lose a 8gig fat partition you lost 8gigs of data. if you lose a 100gig fat partition... [00:09] nsadmin: duplicate what? [00:09] nsadmin: What is the problem? [00:09] escott: Thanks, that works and verifies that they are set correctly but for instance, if I run tracert google.com 8.8.8.8. does not show in the tracert, should it? [00:10] I'm trying to get it working on debian by copying what ubuntu does. [00:10] escott: I see. Other types make file recovery easier [00:10] but the problem is, I don't know how ubuntu does it, so I don't know what to copy [00:10] elijah, tracert is something different... i got noting to do with dns [00:11] Sav_, its not necessarily recovery. i think recovery on fat is probably easier. but how many copies of the file structure are there [00:11] escott: Not sure what youy mean [00:11] nsadmin: Oh good luck. If you could do that you'd have a lot to talk to the ubuntu and Debian developers === max is now known as Guest7797 [00:11] elijah, also i think you mean traceroute [00:11] Benkinooby: yes [00:12] how can I close a window that says "Click on a window to force the application to exit. to cancel press " it's not responding by pressing ESC key [00:12] Benkinooby: okay, good to know, thanks [00:12] elijah, its going to use what is in resolve if you want to you can get a command line dns client and make a request and see who you got the response from [00:12] edbian, oh, is it proprietary? [00:12] murazz__: kill some window withi t [00:12] elijah, so what you can do is to install wireshark. it is in the repositories [00:12] nsadmin: It's just not a standard. So every machine does it a little differently [00:13] escott: where/how would I get a command line dns client? Do you mean a program that runs in shell? [00:13] elijah, it is a programm that shows you what packages are seomt from and to your computer. if cou start it and then browse, you will see the dns requests and to what server they are sent to [00:13] Hi all, im trying to install ubuntu 11.04, but it freezes when loading gparted. I tried alternate CD, no lucky. I got to put the cd loading into a separated partition (where I am now). [00:13] Benkinooby: That would be great, do you know the name of one? [00:13] hey what does an unknown instance mean ? i'm trying to restart samba [00:13] man ifconfig [00:14] joshlegs: It means you can't run 'restart' you have to stop and then start [00:14] edbian, I already did, but it's still static on screen [00:14] murazz__: mmm, is it listed in gnome-system monitor? [00:14] ahh ok. i couldnt find that when i searched for it. thanks edbian [00:14] elijah, it is called wireshark [00:14] joshlegs: sure [00:14] edbian, ubuntu did it out of the box tho... it must have set that up during install... how to find out what it did? [00:14] grrr. samba is one frustrating program lol [00:14] elijah:You mean something like nslookup? [00:15] ill have to hit up the samba support channel i think [00:15] nsadmin: I don't know. [00:15] joshlegs: swat? [00:15] elijah: man nslookup [00:15] hm. whats swat th0r? [00:15] elijah, ahhh fun i had forgotten all about dig. "just dig it" dig nytimes.com [00:15] joshlegs: if you are having problems configuring samba, you might want to google swat [00:16] oh ok. thanks th0r. i'll do that :) [00:16] elijah, the server you get the response from is at the bottom of the results [00:16] gracias por el ayuda, as they say in spanish lol [00:16] escott: and EgyParadox - thanks, they both worked!!! [00:16] edbian, that is my question... i don't know which one is it... [00:16] elijah, hey, escott is right... just use the dig command... you will see what server responded [00:16] Hi all, im trying to install ubuntu 11.04, but it freezes when loading gparted. I tried alternate CD, no lucky. I got to put the cd loading into a separated partition (where I am now). anyone? [00:16] hello everyone, yesterday my power supply got fried and i replace it today, but also ubuntu got damage so i had to re install... i have ubuntu partition, home directory in another partition, where all my docs, music and data was/is... now instead of being sdb it's sda and i cant access my old data which still there cause if i mount sda2 shows 40 being used which is what i use to have, how can i access my account and get all my settings back [00:16] instead of doing it all over again? [00:16] elijah, hey, escott is right... just use the dig command... you will see what server responded - no need to install wireshark [00:17] hey all [00:17] Benkinooby: thanks [00:17] hope you're all fine [00:17] edbian, is it possible to close by system manager? [00:17] murazz__: That's what I'm thinking [00:17] elijah, credits go to escott [00:17] :) [00:18] tonyk, sdb and sda are HD descriptions, do you have more than one HD? [00:18] guys is there anyone who can help me in understanding why doesnt flash on mozilla in ubuntu 11.04 write or display RTL languages while on windows it works right [00:18] ? [00:18] can anyone help me in fixing this? [00:18] Sav_, fat also has a 4gb single file limit. so no big renderings/movies/dvd images [00:18] Stupid Question: How do I rm a file named (hex) "0xDB08" ? [00:18] Hello everyone, question about KVM/libvert. I am using Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud and I want to verify that my virtual machine instance is using my network bridge to connect to the network. Is there a command in virsh that would let me view what physical cards are connected to VM? [00:18] not any more before changing the power supply i did, but now i just have one [00:18] escott: Oh damn. That's probably important. [00:18] CoJaBo, rm "0xDB08" if that doesn't work and you can stat the file then you can remove by inode [00:19] escott: Should DEFINITELY reformat it then [00:19] escott: The file is literally named the bytes DB, 08. [00:19] CoJaBo, then stat it and rm it by inode [00:20] is there anything in synaptic or any package that would support RTL in flash player? [00:20] tonyk, your description is hard to understand for me, can't you just open the partition in the new install or with a live cd? [00:20] or if you want it, rename it [00:20] maybe your filesystem is misbehaving, find out [00:20] escott: How do I rm by inode? [00:20] perhaps... there is a mah page for a program that removes files... [00:21] sorry for that urlin2u, let me try better... about your question i dont know how to access from the new installation my old folder but in media the ecrypt folder exist [00:21] so i can say its accessible i just dont know how [00:21] find . -inum 782263 -exec rm -i {} \; [00:21] another guy with the same problem, for 2009 :/ [00:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305856 [00:21] tonyk, ah a encryted partition it helps to know these things. [00:22] CoJaBo, see above combo of find with rm to remove by inode [00:22] tonyk, I have no idea. [00:22] is it possible to get my setings and programs from that parition instead of downloading everything again? [00:23] escott: Thanks. Egads, thats a nasty bug xD [00:23] tonyk, you didn't copy the encrypt passphrase as youe told to do. [00:24] you're [00:24] (it wrote crash-debug info to a file without initializing the buffer containing its name) [00:24] you mean at the begining of first session?...yes i record my passphrase [00:27] Hi [00:27] hi spike1 [00:28] Just installed Ubuntu, been playing with Mint and this I think I wll go with this for now [00:29] in my new account i give same name and same psswd that last one [00:29] I don't mind the Unity layout, I think it looks modern [00:29] spike1: its a lot like marmite [00:29] Change can be good [00:29] lol [00:29] Agree [00:29] spike1, if you like mint you might like this. http://pinguyos.com/ [00:29] Thanks [00:29] i find that unity in oneiric is miles better than natty [00:30] thats all we need, more spinoffs :( [00:30] for example if i install another ubuntu version in the partition sda1 how could i keep using my home folder that is in sda2? [00:30] tonyk, your password unlocks a file that contains the key used to encrypt the files, so the same password isn't enough [00:30] does anyone else experience the (non-vm) desktop (sporadically) forgetting my appearance prefs? when i go back to preferences > appearance, i can almost hear the desktop saying, "oh crap, let me get back your preferences" and it gets fixed. 10.10 btw but how mysterious! [00:31] tonyk, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [00:31] (i tried googling it but only got to bugs implicating VMs and race conditions) [00:31] tonyk: set the partition as /home andthe same filesystem but NOT be formatted, set the other partitions as normal but to BE formatted [00:32] tonyk: as long as your first user has the same name it will be fine.I do it all the time [00:32] I was playing with dual boots and played so much uninstalling etc ended up with a grub rescue error, so have it installed on a seperate hdd now think thats better. [00:33] ActionParsnip actually thats what i did... sda1 format and use as mount point for ubuntu, leave sda2 intact but i cant see my music files or any other data neither the programas i doinload...i believe it coiuld be a pproblem of changing sda as now from sdb as before...could this be making troubles? [00:34] i'm recieving this email from ams.operations. [00:34] alright! I finally got 10.04 installed on my laptop. However now it detects no wireless connections. How do I fix this? [00:34] tonyk: if you didn't tell the OS to use the partition as /home then it won't get added to /etc/fstab for you [00:34] Mithadon, is it a brosdcom card [00:34] Mithadon: run: sudo lshw -C network what is the product name for the wireless [00:34] broadcom [00:34] Like this xchat community is good, nice to know you can ask for help for free [00:34] Mithadon: also, use a wired connection and get full updates [00:34] How can I run a command when ppp0 comes up? === jason is now known as Guest4936 [00:35] tonyk: here is mine: UUID=9aad41ee-107f-4919-8802-83fabffb9118 /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 0 2 [00:35] nautilus is way to slow. what can we do to make the developer increase the performance? [00:35] tonyk: your blkid WILL be different [00:35] Mithadon: use the interface Add Additional drivers it will install the wireless for you\ [00:36] tonyk: you can see yours by running: sudo blkid [00:36] hey [00:37] hi acid_ [00:37] maalac I only see "hardware drivers" under system > administration but then it fails because I'm offline [00:37] ActionParsnip now i have the UUID but how can i use to access that partiton? [00:37] nm what u up to === oscuro1987 is now known as Guest63787 [00:37] do I have to use the ethernet? [00:38] Mithadon: yes, you should be connected. do apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade [00:38] CLN84: your back, does your battery work now? [00:38] tonyk: just a silly question, if you type "mount" at the command line, is that partition mounted? [00:38] ActionParsnip UUID="96aa5caa-0767-4b31-a875-f5b52fdbb6ba" this is mine but how i use this to access it? [00:38] dcg, no [00:39] soo what is everyone doing [00:39] dcg it is as sda 2 [00:39] tonyk: add the line in /etc/fstab and reboot [00:40] hello [00:40] tonyk: before you reboot.... [00:40] anyone here have a fix for the ATI Radeon X12xx bugs? [00:40] is there a way to have a network static icon given reading in ubuntu? i want it to stick somewhere either on the desktop or the task panel [00:40] tonyk: try typing .... "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" then check that the contents of /mnt are what you expect [00:41] Hi, I have been trying to get the alpha3 i386 alternate image to work. When answering yes to an encrypted home dir no user is created (not in /target/etc/passwd). [00:41] sebseb: oneiric chat in #ubuntu+1 please [00:41] * the-penguin is away: Be Right Back, Give me 5. [00:41] sebseb: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support, please [00:42] alright sorry, I'm totally new to it, but I don't even see how to get connected using the ethernet cable on 10.04 [00:42] tonyk: if the contents of /mnt is something like a directory for each user on the system eg: "tonyk wife son" then add a line that looks like.... [00:42] I cannot access my ubuntu files from the windows partition :/ [00:42] JakeR003: ubuntu used network manager which is in the panel.. [00:42] Monster123: windows is crippled and can't [00:42] But I can access my windows files from uuntu [00:42] Monster123: thats a good thing [00:42] Reall? [00:42] oh man :( [00:42] Monster123: yes because the ntfs-3g guys put effort in and worked out how it work [00:42] Monster123: Windows does not include support for the filesystems commonly used on Linux. [00:43] Mithadon: restart your machine and make sure the ethernet is connected.. [00:43] Monster123: windows cannot mount ext4 partitions (although i think there's a 3rd party utility to do it, it doesn't work) [00:43] Right I see [00:43] Monster123: there is www.fs-driver.org which may give access to ext4 (I know it does ext3 and ext2 but ubuntu usesext4 by default( [00:43] dcg ok, i got my tonyk folder which is admin, and also appears the everyone account i used to have in the before resinatlling ubuntu... but when i click on tonyk there are only to read files one says access your private data desktop and readme.tx but they are reading files no folders [00:43] tonyk: UUID="96aa5caa-0767-4b31-a875-f5b52fdbb6ba" /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 0 2 [00:43] My second question is, when I run a linux disk I can see my windows files on my HDD [00:43] Monster123: blame microsoft [00:43] So I'm guessng I' going to have to use truecrypt or something [00:43] Monster123: again, Ubuntu can easily access NTFS [00:43] Yeah [00:43] It's annoying [00:44] Monster123: convenience is annoying? [00:44] dcg and restart? [00:44] tonyk: add the above line to /etc/fstab, then reboot. I "hope" that should solve your problems. [00:44] thanx a lot [00:44] let me try [00:44] Well worrying..not annoying [00:44] ill be back soon [00:44] someone could steal my laptop [00:44] and just boot a linux disk [00:45] does anyone know if there is any down data centers in north america? [00:45] tonyk: be aware that any customisations and data that you have added to any user directories since installing will vanish :) [00:45] Monster123: If your super worried you could setup PamUSB and make it nuke your file system which bleachbit if someone tries to compromise it [00:45] Monster123: yep, that's how cummy your OS is. You can encrypt to protect. Encrypted filesystem is offered in Ubuntu installation [00:46] ActionParsnip: looks like I missed tonyk with that. I have to go to work. could you please let him know that last bit when he gets back? [00:46] Monster123: you can also boot to an ubuntu CD and reset your administrator password then log in [00:46] ooo PamUSB gonna have to research that [00:46] Really! [00:46] dcg: I'm off to bed bro,its near 2am [00:46] Is away to change the windows password from a ubuntu disk [00:46] Monster123: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14369/change-or-reset-windows-password-from-a-ubuntu-live-cd/ [00:46] ActionParsnip: ok, I guess he will find someone to help then :) [00:47] oh god! [00:47] Monster123: and with Windows you could easily catch a trojan or something through which someone could steal your data w/o needing to steal your laptop :P [00:47] Monster123: yep [00:47] damn ubuntu is so good [00:47] You've all made me security made now [00:47] you can bookmark network shares [00:47] amazing [00:47] I'm gonna try and lock down everthig [00:47] Monster123: basically, Windows has nearly ZERO security if a person has local access [00:47] lol!

[02:22] kenny__: onboard nics can and do occasionally fail. Particularly if you disturbed the hardware. Consider a cheap offboard replacement nic card. Oh, and check your bios... [02:22] ifconfig shows eth0 with interrupt 17 how can I fix this? [02:23] kenny__: does it show up in ifconfig? [02:23] w30, sadly not, gonna have to buy one then [02:23] th0r, yes eth0 [02:23] kenny__: does it show up in network manager? [02:23] Loshki, yea but weird that it still shows that it's here and not completely disabled [02:23] kenny__, how old is the nic card? [02:23] th0r, in ubuntu ? if so yes [02:24] thiebaude, the motherbord "since its onbord" is around 9 months [02:24] ahh ok [02:24] kenny__: can you bring it up in network manager? What happens if you try? [02:24] Hi - I want to lower the brightness of my computer screen - I am running 10.04.03LTS on an HP notebook - I lower the brightness as much as possible via system>preferences>power management but I need to make it darker. Also, every time I reboot the computer, the screen resets to 100 percent brightness - which is blinding - really, you have to see it to believe it. I am looking for a permanent... [02:24] ...fix - is there something in one of the config files I can use? Thanks. [02:24] th0r, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1822696 al the info i have about the nic [02:25] th0r, nothing happens. just stays disconnected [02:25] kenny__: done a complete power off shutdown? Some hardware (e.g. nics) don't fully reset unless you unplug it from the wall and let the capacitors drain... [02:25] Loshki, could try that, havent done that - how long would i have to wait you say ? [02:25] ifconfig shows eth0 with interrupt 17 how can I fix this? [02:27] kenny__: a couple of minutes should be plenty, but you must disconnect from the mains, because stuff like wake-on-lan means as long as there's any power at all, the devices are still working... [02:27] kenny__, Are you connecting to a router, if so does the router work for other machines? [02:27] w30, i'm connected to a switch and then a router and it works for other computers in the household [02:28] anyone got a fix for "start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused" [02:28] Loshki, okey will try that [02:29] kenny__: w30 is right. The port on the switch could have gone bad. Swap it for a known good one? [02:29] Loshki, just tried that [02:29] Loshki: it doesn't work. [02:29] !work | j2daosh [02:29] j2daosh: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [02:29] kenny__, just a thought because my Comcast connected router gets a migraine and I have to give it a total reset wwith a toothpick in the hole [02:30] hi, what's the best way to create a backup / image of my entire system?

I need to download it later from official website. [03:46] if i wanted to format a hdd so that i would not need to mount it every time i restart....

[03:55] evan_, so it did help :) [03:55] Blade20, yea it works. thank you sir :) [03:55] evan_, no problem glad i could help :) [03:55] Blade20, I think it downgraded it but atleast it works now [03:56] evan_, they are working on a stable version for the X64 [03:56] Blade20, ya I guess i better wait before I try installing it from the update manager [03:56] I have a strange "dependency" problem with my canon pixma mx330. It says "Dependency problems: cannot configure" or something like that when I try to install the deb drivers. Here is the ubuforums thread, but nobody really posted there so I'm giving it a try here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806287 [03:56] Jordan_U, I could manage no more than current without risking a full cranial explosion - Responding to this message will be fruitless as I intend to be having a cigarette as soon as enter is pressed [03:56] Loshki: Sheesh^: um, does this help? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [03:56] evan_, i got it to work but not from update-manager [03:57] evan_, i'm just going to wait till "flash aid" says it's stable lol [03:57] Loshki: thanks, after I managed to figure out how to boot to root by holding the shift key, that did it. ;) [03:57] linuxuz3r, yea me too. I had to downgrade to the last stable version [03:57] Blade20, good idea lol [03:57] milamber: http://pastebin.com/3M10jFtp [03:58] evan_, have you tried the incubator build? [03:58] evan_, im using the beta i think [03:58] linuxuz3r I don't think so. my version # is 10.3.183.5 [03:58] JoeR1, did you solve your problem [03:59] evan_, im using 11.+ [03:59] its just a test script, it uses ffmpeg, a few python scripts and a php script to create a video of a jpg + mp3, send it to youtube, create a blogspot post send the video to twitter and facebook and creates a bit.ly short link from it [03:59] lol [03:59] JoeR1: .bin and .cue files are generally used for audio CDs. Since audio CDs don't really have a filesystem they generally aren't "mounted". What is your end goal? [03:59] i just put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and chmod 777 libflashplayer.so [03:59] milamber: but its my first script so i think its a bit messy :D [04:00] evan_, a thought.... you may want to go back to the package manager... uninstall that one and then run flash aid again to see if it can install the X64 [04:00] linuxuz3r, No, however I intend to forgo this route in favor of another solution I feel more confident in [04:00] hi,i just switched to ubuntu 11.04 64-bit.i was prompted to install some nvidia graphics driver.but after installing it i am not able to get any desktop effects [04:00] linuxuz3r and the 64bit works? I just tried installed the upgrade to 10.4.1 and it stopped playing certain things [04:00] its 64bit beta [04:01] psilo23: i am not seeing the part you are trying to log? [04:01] I've installed 11.10 on a spare partition (wait for it), and I have 11.04 as main install. How can I reorder grub entries so that 11.04 is booted by default instead of 11.10? [04:01] http://pastebin.com/mJ7HZknj hey is this disk failing or what [04:01] well i want to log the commands [04:01] I read that I'm not supposed to fiddle with grub.cfg directly [04:01] hello I have a few questions, I own an AWUS036H usb wireless card, using the drive rtl8187 but seems to be faulty, cuz I can't download at my normally download speed I can't even surf If I don't set the rate to 5.5M in iwconfig wlan1, any ideas, please [04:01] i need some sort of decoder ring to figure out whether this is bad or not [04:01] because the outcome of several commands is a url [04:01] Blade20, I see here in the package manager that I have flashplugin-installer checked and there is a flashplugin64-install at version 11.0.1.98 not installed [04:01] Jordan_U, you grossly over generalize and, in fact, the bin/cue files in question are for a game, however since you ask I intend to mount them on my roommates computer in shared virtual drives and then use pyneighborhood to access them [04:01] Seven_Six_Two, sudo grub-install /dev/sda in natty [04:02] so i want to have the output of those commands [04:02] i now do it with printf, but its a strange way i guess [04:02] :D [04:02] evan_, its odd that it is in 32 bit lib directory [04:02] Seven_Six_Two, assuming the disc is sda [04:02] evan_, you may want to give that a try then.... most it will do is mess up and you uninstall it [04:02] evan_, maybe thats why the flash-aid isnt working [04:02] urlin2u, I should be running 11.04 when I do that? and 11.04 is sda1, 11.10 is sda8 [04:03] Seven_Six_Two, yes notice no partition numbers your just reloading the mbr. [04:03] linuxuz3r, I got flash working but its just at a lower version [04:03] bitlylink=`python bitly.py $blogytlink$ytid` and then a printf $bitlylink, i dont think that is the right way to do it milamber, to get the outcome of that python script [04:04] psilo23: so you have tried: ./mp3post.sh >> logfile.txt ?? [04:04] linuxuz3r, flashaid fixed it. I just had to downgrade from the update I installed this morning [04:04] urlin2u, I did sudo grub-install already, and 11.10 is still first (and default). Does saying sda make a difference? [04:04] You have version 11,0,1,98 installed [04:04] roflol, no, i have tried to put it inside the script :P === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [04:05] linuxuz3r, no I have 10.3.183.5. I will try uninstall this version and installing 11 and than use the flashaid [04:05] Seven_Six_Two, what ever one you run sudo grub-install /dev/sda in will be the controling boot , grub will have it first in the menu. [04:05] i just switched to ubuntu 11.04 64-bit.i was prompted to install some nvidia graphics driver.but after installing it i am not able to get any desktop effects .how do i get it to work?? [04:05] Jordan_U, you have turned my attention to a possible issue I had not previously considered - It is possible that Ubuntu is ill suited to power users such as myself, I lack the high level programmer savvy of many users I have encountered in here as well as the baby day innocence of many not so techno-savvy fiolks, is there perhaps a better distribution for the mid level users like myself? [04:05] what is the package manangement system used by Ubuntu? [04:06] Seven_Six_Two, if you run that command in Natty, natty wil lhave control, and be first in the grub menu. [04:06] !apt | Paranous [04:06] Paranous: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [04:06] Thank you ubottu [04:06] first time here! [04:06] Hi - Odd question. I just got a VPS with ubuntu server on, I've installed a gui, and vnc server... However the gui needs to be running to start the vnc, and I can't startx over ssh... watdo? [04:07] linuxuz3r, yea I uninstalled version 10 and then installed version 11 and ran flashaid but does not play [04:07] linuxuz3r, milamber, sorry about the late reply, I was busy to ask questions in blender channel. I knew the solution. it's because of the python version. blenderplayer don't use bundled python by default. thanks a lot for the help. [04:07] does anybody now if µTorrent 3.0 works in ubuntu? [04:07] Seven_Six_Two, so for example if you wanyed to remove ethier one og =f the installs you would run that command in the one you keepo so you don't loose the boot and have to reload the mbr from a cd [04:07] likes it does in win xp [04:07] hello I have a few questions, I own an AWUS036H usb wireless card, using the drive rtl8187 but seems to be faulty, cuz I can't download at my normally download speed I can't even surf If I don't set the rate to 5.5M in iwconfig wlan1, any ideas, please [04:07] JoeR1: I would say no, but it's subjective (and better for #ubuntu-offtopic). For this particular problem I am fairly sure you would have the same difficultly solving the problem with any distribution. For other problems it's hard to say. [04:07] Quality=51/70 Signal level=-59 dBm [04:07] I'm currently in Win7, with a Raid 0 array, and two extra HDDs, one is for Movie downloads the other is general storage, altough I have a 20GB/19GB partition from the backup volume, Could I utilize the 20GB partition for a dual boot of Ubuntu? [04:07] serpico there is a utorrent for linux but it runs in a web browser [04:08] urlin2u, aah, sorry. I did update-grub not grub-install. That worked just right. Thanks for your time! [04:08] one more question if anyone know. with blender, I can not save the animation with xvid encoding. it uses ffmpeg and xvid somehow. I am not very familiar with this. any packages I need to install to fix this problem? thanks. [04:08] Seven_Six_Two, heh no problem. [04:09] evan_, how did you install version 11? did you change permission? [04:09] linuxuz3r, I installed it through package manager [04:09] i cant connect to my internet, ifconfig shows that eth0 has an interrupt of 15 and I am not sure what that means [04:09] evan_, you want an ubuntu pure flashplayer? [04:10] JoeR1: Have you tried "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/disk_image.bin /mnt/" ? [04:10] what does interrupt 15 mean, anyone have a list of interrupts when it comes to ifconfig [04:10] Paranous, Likely it is [04:10] linuxuz3r, its fine actually. I am able to play everything good with no problems with 10.3 [04:10] evan_, ok [04:11] linuxuz3r, thanks for the help though. I got it working again so its all good :D [04:11] Which vpn server can I install that is compatible with android phones? [04:11] Jordan_U, No, however it is inconsequential at this point as I am no longer pursuing a solution to the bin/cue mounting question having opted for a method that offers me certain advantages [04:12] Elyob_: from ssh does this work?: startx -- :0 [04:12] well downloading Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop amd 64, it's nice that it knows my processor type ;) [04:12] how do i switch off nvidia card? i executed echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch which was given here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15.but it says permission denied.help anyone please [04:13] alpha: you have to type sudo first [04:13] !sudo [04:13] 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).

[04:15] milamber, pastebin what? the output? [04:16] Jordan_U, i was prompted to install some nvidia drivers .after installing them i lost whatever effects i previously had [04:16] i can remove or install snort, any suggests? [04:16] milamber: No luck, thanks though :) "xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)" [04:17] alpha: How did you install the nvidia drivers? [04:18] natty x64 created an application launcher for JetBrains PhpStorm, how do I add it to the Developer Tools menu in Unity? [04:18] Jordan_U, system>administration>additional drivers [04:18] alpha: Have you tried removing them via the same menu? [04:19] couldn't one install them via apt get, or manual compile them from the Nvidia site? [04:19] ok. one more question. How to print the screen while the mouse clicked the menu in the topbar, eg: sound setup, time, network etc... .the printscreen button just doesn't work. [04:21] Jordan_U, no but i did think about it.but then i thought if i can juz switch it on or off that would be much better [04:21] Jordan_U, anyways ,i'm going to apply your solution [04:22] hey [04:22] anybody here? [04:22] yeah..hey lnkn3rd [04:23] how are you [04:23] * nsadmin is 10 miles from the keyboard in front of me [04:23] lnxn3rd, im here too [04:23] is that possible to print the screen while the mouse clicked the menu on the topbar? [04:23] sgo11, i tried print screen on my keyboard but its not working [04:23] how would I go about connecting via wireless? seems that my driver is set up [04:24] linuxuz3r, yeah, it doesn't work. I did many test including using import script. [04:24] Jordan_U, one question,it says in the additional drivers window that the driver is activated but not in use.is it possible that this may be the reason? [04:25] iwlist scan on all interfaces shows one that says "invalid argument" [04:26] 04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01) [04:28] sgo11, does not work with menus are open [04:29] Hey there. has ANYONE ever been able to get VMWare Server 2.0.2 to install on ubuntu 10.04? I followed the instructions online the ubuntu site for patching it and it doesnt work. I can't build the kernel modules for the server [04:30] DrPenguin, i wish i know how to do that === j2bv16 is now known as jays [04:32] i think ubuntu is not friendly with compiling kernel modules [04:32] neither is arch linux [04:32] i used to do it in redhat long time ago [04:32] funny thing though.. Virtual box will load what I am trying to finagle.. now Ij ust need it to see my processors [04:34] hi, how to install xvid codec for ffmpeg ? thanks. [04:34] but im thinking ubuntu is linux and it should compile and run kernel modules properly [04:35] jjj [04:36] DrPenguin, are you having problems compiling or running [04:36] ? [04:36] sgo11, install the libdvdcss2 package [04:36] compiling the kernel modules [04:36] glebihan, thanks. let me try it. [04:36] DrPenguin, inside vmware? [04:36] what?

[04:38] no this is a native ubuntu 10.04 [04:38] glebihan, I found this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg do I still need to compile ffmpeg? [04:38] oh [04:38] sgo11, try this as well avifile-xvid-plugin as apt-get or in synaptic [04:38] sgo11, it's the same thing as what I just posted, and no need to compile ffmpeg [04:38] what kernel version are you compiling it against?

[04:39] 2.6.32-33-generic [04:39] lol its been a looooooooooooooooooong time since i compiled a kernel [04:39] urlin2u, thanks for the reply. I will try glebihan's post first. [04:39] DrPenguin, what kernel source? [04:39] wait.. why are you compiling a kernel? im trying to build the modules for vmware server not the kernel.. [04:40] ok what kernel source are you building it? [04:40] forget it, I think i got what I am trying to do working on Vbox [04:41] Jordan_U, you there?? [04:41] Its a miracle, VirtualBox works no problem.. VMWare Server = Crappy installer [04:42] Is there a way to grep more than one word/line when piping output? [04:43] grep should "grep" whatever is thrown at it [04:43] so if I cat a 10 line file and pipe it to grep, it will grep the entire thing [04:43] yeah so how could you throw at it two different words? a comma separation doesn't work [04:44] glebihan, all these unstripped libs can not be found with current ubuntu release. did they change the name? [04:44] #ashup [04:44] hamnegga, do you want to do a grep based on the fact that the line contains one of the words ?

[04:45] Jordan_U, yes [04:46] so you want to grep for 2 individual things eh [04:46] sgo11, are you running natty ? [04:46] glebihan, yeah. [04:46] juar grep them in quotes "two words" [04:47] yes [04:47] alpha: At the log in screen try choosing "Ubuntu Classic". It's just a work around to get things basically working but it's better than nothing.

[05:01] yes [05:01] glebihan, yes [05:02] Paranous, well that's kinda painful... you would have to edit some files in ~/.local/share/mime I think but not sure which ones [05:03] I wish win7 had the workspace switcher built in, guess was too hard a concept for M$ [05:03] Paranous: You typically don't deal with DE things via CLI [05:03] DE things? [05:03] Paranous: You can find plenty online, but that's rather offtopic [05:03] Paranous: DE = desktop environment [05:03] ah [05:03] if only I could get sort -d to keep the quality and essid list working with that iwlist and grep command, I'd have a nice little script for quick network scanning, instead of using wicd or nm.

[05:19] urlin2u: yeah. for some reason I wasn't understanding that when you edit fstab in live CD (even in a previous version of Ubuntu), it universally applies. [05:19] I found that under arch you need to install lib32-nvidia-utils but that package doesnt seem to exist on ubuntu [05:19] bazhang, yes, wine [05:20] stealz, #winehq for particular app help [05:20] ok how about this, Can anyone recommend a GUI for accessing .cabs? [05:20] bazhang, I was there, they said I should ask in my distro channel [05:20] stealz: yay Arch xD [05:20] urlin2u: someone else helped me put a copy of it in /mtn/ubuntu/etc/fstab ... once on the live CD in 9.10 ... and that did the trick.

So once I am in gparted, how do I reformat my thumb drive to "ext4" ??? [05:45] MrSmoke, when do you get this error message ? Are you in a chroot environment ?

Or you could always use Vim [05:48] glebihan: http://pastebin.com/NDLtCUrL [05:48] theadmin, mm. I'm attempting to make my install more like textmate for mac, and have installed several plugins people recommend, but the interface is still very cluttered. I'm aiming for something between gedit's default and perhaps scribes. [05:50] glebihan, im using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an OpenVZ VPS [05:50] MrSmoke, when did this error first happen ? Is it after installing/upgrading something ? [05:50] aurilliance: Ah, well, I'm no Mac fan so can't help there. That and I don't use gedit >.< [05:50] I am running Dual Monitors with twinview, and some games/appliactions dont recognize it properly. they span across both screens or use only one but only half the window is shown, but streched etc [05:51] theadmin, :P [05:51] aurilliance: Maybe there's an option to hide the toolbar in "View"?

The flash drive opens up just fine now. It won't let me access this "lost+found" directory on it though. When command do I run as "sudo" to open this up to see what is in there? [05:53] wsbl-uhpd651: if you just mkfs:ed it, lost+found will be empty. [05:53] MrSmoke, what is your kernel version ? [05:54] wsbl-uhpd651: Do not [05:54] wsbl-uhpd651: It's a ext4 thing [05:54] wsbl-uhpd651: Used by fsck to recover damaged files or something [05:54] theadmin: lol oh well....

[05:55] theadmin: I don't need to keep this directory on there, then ... right? [05:55] wsbl-uhpd651: Um, no, it's a filesystem thing... You can't (or at least shouldn't) delete it [05:56] wsbl-uhpd651: Just ignore it :D [05:56] theadmin: Oh. OK. No problem - I'll just leave it then ... [05:56] MrSmoke: "pony"?

[06:41] linux is linux [06:41] Free-man, because it's offtopic [06:42] withholding knowledge is bery badbad [06:42] very [06:42] glebihan: ok strange, mysql started fine, eventhough i had rebooted the vps many times before and it didnt [06:42] MrSmoke, then I guess you will have to never reboot it again :) [06:42] http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File?s=%22import+bookmarks%22&as=s: "you can delete all of your bookmarks at once from Firefox Safe Mode by selecting the Delete all bookmarks except for backups option."

[06:43] glebihan: Mint is a branch of ubuntu [06:43] Free-man, it's not about withholding informations, if you want to help him with Mint, then go on a mint channel to help him [06:43] glebihan then tell him, not me. [06:43] sanydvk, Mint if not one of the official versions of Ubuntu [06:44] glebihan and it's definately withholding if the info is on the tip of your finger! [06:44] Free-man, I did tell you both, and he was already told before [06:44] glebihan: Lucky its linux and thats actually a possible feat [06:44] MrSmoke, yep [06:46] sanydvk: Мы не поддерживаем Mint. [06:46] glebihan I have a second comp is ubuntu and the same is not mounted. thank for this help :( [06:47] theadmin understand, thanks for help :( [06:47] sanydvk: No problem.

[06:56] [deXter]: However, I could just write a small script for that for you just now :D [06:56] <[deXter]> I'm behind a proxy and that command doesn't work [06:57] [deXter], http://ppa.launchpad.net// I believe. If you look at the launchpad pages for the ppa you want to add it'll tell you exactly what to put into your sources.list [06:57] <[deXter]> Polah: Ah, neat, thanks [06:58] <[deXter]> theadmin: Thanks.. but I don't want to be too much of a trouble. :) [06:58] [deXter]: Actually, it's http://ppa.launchpad.net/OWNER/NAME/ubuntu [06:58] <[deXter]> hmm [07:00] Good Morning ubuntu friends :-) [07:01] [deXter]: I have no idea why, don't ask me [07:01] B4ckBOne: Morning.

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[07:10] time+calendar dissappeared from my taskbar how to relounch it? [07:10] farciarz84: right click, add to panel, clock [07:11] theadmin: right click doesn't work, ubuntu 11.10. I'm obliged to use it beacuse <=11.04 doesn't support my hardware. Asked also at #ubuntu+1 nobody responses [07:12] NameLess-exe: what is unusable? The free space? [07:12] Polah: yup [07:12] farciarz84: Ah, well, we can't support 11.10 here [07:13] NameLess-exe: That's strange. Have you tried writing it as something other than swap? [07:14] Polah: i can't aven add a new parition with that free space [07:14] NameLess-exe, that's very strange. Perhaps try running a SMART test on the drive. [07:14] NameLess-exe: Do you happen to have 4 primary partitions? [07:14] NameLess-exe: If so, that means you can't add more. [07:14] theadmin: lol, yes, is that why? [07:14] NameLess-exe: Yep [07:15] NameLess-exe: You should consider messing with extended partitions === hassan is now known as Guest18138 [07:15] quite happy with my natty now that ive customised it ^_^ thanks for all your help guys. [07:16] that is all [07:16] theadmin: messing around? nah, i just fried the windows parition by messing around the other day [07:16] NameLess-exe: Okay. Well, see you all later. [07:16] :D [07:18] Hi! If I install Ubuntu with default setting (side by side with WinXP), it won't even boot. I get an out of disk error. What's the right partitioning to use to avoid this? Here's what I have now: http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/main/8/22203023363.jpg [07:19] Halabund, you don't have a ext type partition just 2 ntfs and a fat. [07:20] urlin2u, correct. I don't have it installed at the moment. I would like to know what partitioning to use to install it in such a way that it will actually boot up. I already installed several times, tried different things, can never get ubuntu to boot on this machine ever since it switched to using grub2 (in 9.10 I think?) [07:21] Halabund: No particular partitioning needed. A partition for Ubuntu and a few GB for a swap partition. [07:21] http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File?s=%22import+bookmarks%22&as=s: "you can delete all of your bookmarks at once from Firefox Safe Mode by selecting the Delete all bookmarks except for backups option." Where can I find this option in Firefox 5.0 Safe mode? [07:21] Hi, can you access this site? http://95.209.100.86/test.html [07:22] engammalsko: Yes. [07:22] engammalsko: IF that site consists of red and green boxes with text and menu in them [07:22] bullgard4_: Polah: Yes, thanks : ) [07:23] Dammit! one package is hold back! in apt-get dist-upgrade! how do i force it to upgrade? ive done it on another computer.. [07:23] Polah, then why won't it boot? If I let it put swap first, I get an "out of disk" error and a half-functional grub2 recovery prompt. If I put the root partition first manually, I get a grub2 recovery prompt with autocompletion and everything working, but it still won't boot. So I thought the reason for the error is the particular partition layout I have. [07:23] Myx0x3, go to synaptic it willprobably install, at your own risk though. [07:23] I had a really weird ip, right? I think that's cuz I'm on mobile internet atm. [07:24] urlin2u: CLI.. [07:24] urlin2u: im over SSH [07:25] halabund: Could be a corrupt install, i.e. from an improperly burned disc or an incorrectly downloaded .iso. Check the md5 hash of the iso you have with the ones on the wiki to make sure it's correct. Also, when booting from the LiveCD hold down shift and it'll give you a menu, select "Verify disk integrity" or something along those lines [07:25] Myx0x3, generally there are reasons why it wont, could you wait a day to see if it is available. [07:25] engammalsko: The same as every other IP. [07:26] Polah, it's not a corrupt install. Problem is the same for several different ubuntu versions, and I've downloaded more then once. Also I always let the cd burner verify that it's been burnt correctly. [07:26] Polah, it's not the first time I try to install it during the past year. [07:26] urlin2u: its been like this for two three weeks.. [07:27] Hello everybody [07:27] is there a way to install a toggle button on the panel for MUTE? [07:27] can anyone help me please ? [07:28] ( Polah, guy yo read the electicity meter is here, brb) [07:28] Greets all. Anyone have trouble installing ANY ubuntu flavor on a large USB hard drive? Been trying on a 2TB for days. [07:28] halabund: I don't know. Could be a damaged/malfunctioning disk that GRUB doesn't like installing to the MBR section. You could try installing on another drive [07:28] ObrienDave: What sort of trouble are you having? [07:28] Polah: drive will not boot when done [07:29] urlin2u: and ive build it from source, maybe thats why i cant update it [07:29] tripelb: In GNOME if you click the sound icon in the indicator applet then there's a mute option under that.

[07:31] harsh-backtracke, perhaps. Backtrack isn't supported here. You could try anyway [07:31] <[deXter]> harsh-backtracke: Join #backtrack-linux [07:32] I tried.. but it can't be connected with backtrack's server [07:32] I don't really know [07:32] <[deXter]> Oh [07:32] <[deXter]> You'll have to register your nick first [07:33] tripelb: There's an option in keyboard shortcuts to bind a key to do it [07:33] harsh-backtracke, running in root is not a good thing as well on the irc [07:33] <[deXter]> harsh-backtracke: First change your nick by typing /nick YourNewNick [07:34] Okay guys, thanks anyways I'm gonna try [07:34] Cya [07:34] <[deXter]> harsh-backtracke: Then register it with nickserv: /nickserv REGISTER password email-address === ColKurtz__ is now known as ColKurtz === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [07:41] Polah, windows has installed just fine on this drive.

(No one believes it of course when I tell them I tested that before...) I really need to have linux this time, but it just won't boot from my computer. I'm out... [07:41] ...of my wits.

[08:22] and my notebook does not support res bigger then 1024x ... [08:22] So what are you hoping to shrink? [08:23] everything [08:23] Hemebond, He want the dpi lower [08:23] *wants [08:23] *higher [08:23] Or whichever way it goes XD [08:23] Higher [08:24] Not sure how to do that in Ubuntu. [08:24] I would look but my internet and or computer are hating me [08:24] oh [08:24] Appearance [08:24] Under the font tab. [08:24] Details... [08:25] Umm thats just font sizes backgrounds and themes [08:25] applications-monitor it is a netbook I doubt you can go any higher [08:25] mine wont [08:26] Hmm. A higher DPI made my fonts larger. [08:26] They look nice, though :-) [08:26] Actually it is in appearance XD http://www.howtolearnlinux.com/2009/06/03/how-to-increase-dpi-in-ubuntu/ [08:26] you guys only just realised what DPI does? [08:26] No [08:26] o.0 [08:26] Yes. I've never bothered to play with it. [08:26] Just where it was in Ubuntu [08:26] ah [08:27] Also, why does a lower DPI result in a larger font? Oh wait. It's not setting the DPI. [08:27] It's just adjusting the font to that DPI. [08:27] but this thing only reduce the font`s [08:27] Lower dpi is what Udonnome wants [08:27] Makes everything smaller [08:27] Udonnome: You are after higher resolution. [08:27] At least for me [08:28] ParkerR: Where did you set that? [08:28] ParkerR: That link? Appearance? That's where I am already. [08:28] Click monochrome then details [08:28] I dunno [08:29] so is there a way ? :) [08:30] Udonnome: Yes, increase your resolution. [08:30] Or try a theme that... shrinks stuff. [08:30] can someone tell me a nice gnome based password vault I can use that is already in the ubuntu repos? [08:30] Udonnome: What are you trying to shrink specifically? [08:30] Udonnome: Is the font not enough? [08:30] Kingsy, keepass? [08:30] i cant my notebook does not suppoer any bigger the 1024 x [08:31] ParkerR: umm ok let me search for that [08:31] Or however it is spelled [08:31] Hemebond,nope teh fons are ok,the everything else is bigger [08:32] Udonnome: Everything else? [08:32] Udonnome: Tried a different theme? [08:32] Kingsy: The GNOME Keyring. System > Preferences > PAsswords and Encryption Keys [08:32] icons,top bottom bar,windows,buttons ... :) [08:33] Udonnome: Yeah. Theme. [08:33] ive tryed few themes,same thing,but will try few more [08:33] Same thing? [08:33] can anyone recommend a translation eng - french, eng - spanish (ie a tool that will work with ubuntu) I cant find one [08:34] Udonnome: Are you using Metacity? [08:34] http://cl.ly/2W1P311a2S2x282U3N01 Is this #ubuntu-unregged [08:34] Ahh crap [08:34] Was wondering why it said both up top [08:35] metacity,sry i dont know what that is [08:35] I installed keepass, its great, thanks [08:35] Udonnome: GNOME's window manager for anything before 11.04 [08:35] Btw loving 11.04 after customizing :) [08:36] Kingsy, Np [08:36] Kingsy: There's no real need to add an additional program to manage passwords. [08:36] Polah, why not? [08:36] It can store anything [08:36] Even random bits you dont want to forget [08:37] oh yeah, your right.. [08:37] ParkerR: The GNOME keyring can store passwords and suchlike and it's already installed by default, unless you're using another environment but I believe KDE at least has a similar thing [08:37] Polah, I've never seen a GUI for the gnome keyring. Just when it pops up every once in a while [08:37] ou,i have matecity installed,but i dont know how to find it,to check it`s settings [08:38] Udonnome: Are you on 11.04? [08:38] yes [08:38] Udonnome: Then you are probably using the new bar thing. Unity? [08:38] ParkerR: System > Preferences > Passwords & Encryption Keys [08:39] Udonnome: Anyway, I'm not using that so I can't recommend theme settings for you. [08:39] Polah, ahh thanks [08:39] nope,i use it without effects [08:39] TIL gnome keyring has a GUI XD [08:39] Udonnome: Ubuntu Classic without effects? [08:39] yes [08:39] Udonnome: Ah, you are on Metacity then. [08:40] ou :( [08:42] so i cant do anything about it?

[09:09] kltrg: not that i know of maybe a unity hack if you wanted to bang your head for awhile [09:09] ParkerR: haha [09:10] kltrg: hm strange, never saw fullscreen-windows still have it on the "wrong" side but i am not using unity/gnome [09:10] goddard, glad someone noticed :) [09:10] surprised it wasn't in junk [09:10] spam rather [09:11] or was it? [09:11] Haha [09:11] ? [09:11] iceroot, I didn't have any issues with that before using Unity either. I tweaked the gconf settings before, Hemebond [09:11] nvm [09:11] kltrg: I'm not sure if it works under Unity (I just use regular Metacity and Gnome 2), but under gconf-editor > Apps > metacity > general > button_layout [09:12] goddard, you like? http://cl.ly/1d231F40060f2J0p2M1Q [09:12] ParkerR: thats one sexy lady [09:12] And theme XD [09:13] hello, i have an issue. my programs do not stay in launcher, after i pin them there. they dissappear after every login [09:13] and theme :D [09:13] Ok, thanks, guys. I'll have to live with it, I guess [09:13] this is true for every app i put ther [09:13] kltrg, wait [09:13] what can i do about this? [09:13] kltrg, what are you trying to do again? [09:13] or is there any unity logfile to check what could be wrong? [09:13] sikor_sxe: probably configuration file permissions or something [09:14] ParkerR: What's the little frequency monitor at the bottom right? [09:14] how to copy all the files from a directory excluding some files...?? [09:14] Polah, CPU scaling [09:15] ParkerR, I want to move the close/max/min buttons in the Unity top panel to the right [09:15] Ahh [09:15] That can be done [09:15] One sec [09:15] kltrg, Ok alt f2 then type gcong-editor [09:16] * gconf-editor [09:16] ParkerR, Ok [09:16] Apps [09:16] Metacity [09:16] General [09:17] Then change the button layout line to ":maximize,minimize,close" without the quotes [09:18] should probably do "menu:maximize,minimize,close" so your window doesn't look all lopsided from a sloppy gtk theme [09:18] no concussions kltrg your in luck [09:18] ParkerR, I've already done that but that only applies to the window decoration, not to the top panel. Therefore, buttons are still on the left side in maximized windows [09:19] kltrg, that should apply to any sized window [09:19] kltrg, maybe take some screenshots [09:19] kltrg: that's part of unity, you can't fix that, it's part of the design that they said they *won't* change [09:19] Oh [09:19] I do have Unity off XD Ubuntu Classic theme [09:20] And this is part of why I do this [09:20] envygeeks, That's sad because a geconf-setting for that wouldn't affect normal users at all [09:20] anyone care to explain why removing mysql-server-core-5.1 also removes 50 additional packages, like: kubuntu-desktop kpackagekit and so forth ..? [09:20] Unity has little quirks that turn me away [09:20] i checked all permissions for .* files [09:20] icons still dissappear from launcher on login [09:20] maybe kubuntu uses mysql [09:20] ParkerR, It has but it also has some cool things that make me use it [09:20] is there any logfile? [09:21] for unity? [09:21] goddard: well, I prefer using percona mysql, not oracle mysql [09:21] thats ..... no comment [09:21] haha [09:21] Onepamopa: please paste.ubuntu.com the output so we can see what packages [09:21] ok, thanks and bye [09:21] Onepamopa: mysql was alright now oracle has it [09:22] goddard: another thing, how can it use mysql when mysql is not even configured OR running at all [09:22] Why does everyone hate oracle? [09:22] XD [09:22] w8 to pastebin the packages [09:22] ParkerR: cuz oracle sux a lot [09:22] Onepamopa: i haven't tried it but they do have databases that run only when needed [09:22] like Access :D [09:23] Onepamopa: well you don't have to worry about oracle for a couple more years and by then another fork from a foundation will have kicked off, for now they are closely monitored by the government to make sure that MySQL stays alive and keeps moving along and that they can't use any of the patents against people. [09:23] envygeeks: http://pastebin.com/LcxSZvN1 [09:23] here's the list [09:23] envygeeks: actually, I use percona 5.5 cause it's a hell of a lot faster than oracle's mysql 5.5 === jacques is now known as Guest45457 [09:23] + has special support for ssd disks [09:24] The latest MySQL does too, as well as Oracle partitions [09:24] envygeeks: benchmarks tell a different storry :) [09:24] and in my case preformance is a key factor [09:24] hmm... other people have this as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1744040 [09:25] envygeeks: so, what do u think about pastebin stuff ? [09:25] theres no way to install percona while mysql-server-core-5.1 is installed [09:25] Onepamopa: I think you might need to file a bug against it, some of those packages I know shouldn't need mysql this seems like an accidental dependency issue [09:25] envygeeks: sure seems like it... [09:26] where do I file a bug report ? [09:26] hi everyone [09:27] onepamopa: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug [09:27] I'm new to ubuntu, how do I upgrade inkscape to 0.48? apt-get tells me that my inkscape is already the newest version but it's not [09:27] it appears that my rc.local isn't working after upgrading to natty [09:27] installed is 0.47 [09:27] onepamopa: if it does that silly redirect to you, then just remove +filebug and press the file a bug on the right side [09:28] rrrreimer: that is the current one supported by ubuntu, why do you want .48 ? [09:28] here aswell: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751115 [09:28] an unity logfile would help [09:28] I have some shell scripts which seem to not work with 0.47 [09:29] rrrreimer: do you know it's .47 that is the problem ? [09:29] envygeeks: I asume that the bug MAY be fixed after let's say.. 3-4 months ? [09:30] havent ever had this issue @ 10.04 [09:30] ikonia: "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now" I think it's inkscape [09:30] onepamopa: could be, you could check the latest devel cd and see if it's already fixed in 11.10, if it's not I would say file a bug and get it fixed before 11.10 before it does become a pain to fix [09:31] envygeeks: Im using 11.10 [09:31] (I think) [09:31] isntalled a week ago [09:31] 11.04 is the latest stable [09:31] ah, so 11.04.. [09:32] ikonia: I'll check if it supports exactly the same arguments used in my scripts, write you back soon [09:32] envygeeks: is there a "unstable" repository for 11.10? [09:32] onepamopa: I don't work with KDE that much so I can't give you a URL like I could for Ubuntu or Xubuntu, you'll have to hit up #kubuntu for a archive URL [09:33] envygeeks: noone alive @ kubuntu, Im already there :) [09:33] Let me see if I can find one [09:33] why do u think I joined here... ;) [09:34] why does ubuntu install openldap with alot of strange configuration? [09:34] ouww, and classic gnome panels display icons way too large [09:35] does someone know how to reset configuration to blank? [09:36] envygeeks: seems like launchpad has some issues of its own,registered, didnt receive confirmation code, just a "forgot password" mail :) [09:36] now cant login at all, "password doesnt match" [09:36] :) [09:36] Oh my. Pidgin just told me "Unable to connect: Error resolving irc.ubuntu.com" I did break something. Any ideas what? [09:36] ikonia: inkscape 0.47 supports all the arguments used in my script, maybe in some cases 0.47 doesn't like svg files made with 0.48 [09:40] hey guys. anyone know of a technology other than WebDav that allows "mounting" a URL? [09:41] rrrreimer: if that's the case you'll need to verify that, and log a bug requesting a package update detailing the issues with .47 [09:42] zabomber, FTP? [09:42] ParkerR: can i mount a SFTP location? [09:43] Yes [09:43] I'm such a douche... [09:43] lol [09:43] zabomber: yes, with fuse [09:43] thanks [09:44] fuse? [09:44] any1 know where I can check if my driver has been taken out of staging area for in the kernel [09:44] man fuse [09:44] sorry ParkerR: i was thinking more along the lines of port 80 access... [09:44] Or fuse --help [09:44] i need to do something like this - whenever in defined directory appears file run script that will execute batch of commands - could anyone tell me what would be the easiest way? [09:44] zabomber, thats just http protocol [09:45] ParkerR: i know… i want to be able to mount a directory on a remote server via a Port 80 proxy...

Can someone provide a list of the files created by wubi 11.04? [10:13] :D I'm in love http://i.imgur.com/rIrVT.png [10:13] ParkeR: wine? [10:13] Yep [10:13] A work of art, that WINE is [10:14] jo-erlend: If you're planning on copying another install over, reinstalling would be easier. [10:14] btw, wubi sucks :D [10:14] Mhmm [10:14] Polah, he deleted files from /host/ubuntu. And this is important to him, so I'm trying to help him undelete. But I need a list of files to look for. [10:14] jo-erlend: Tell him to back up the stuff he wants to keep through Windows and reinstall. [10:14] BenjamixXx, you seen my desktop? http://cl.ly/1d231F40060f2J0p2M1Q [10:15] Polah, he cannot boot. [10:15] BenjamixXx: nothing new :P [10:15] Im new here, so everything is new :D [10:15] BenjaminxXx: Thanks for your aswer... but... what is the difference??? I don't understand the link [10:15] hi, does anyone know how to temporarily disable plymouth xsplash in ubuntu 10.04? thanks [10:16] JYRO: it is debian packages, there you open the 2 of them and see the description, so you will probably understand [10:16] jo-erlend: He can boot into Windows... [10:16] ParkeR: USING CHROME ON LINUX?! [10:16] hi [10:16] Polah, I think he deleted Windows too. [10:16] jo-erlend: In which case he needs to reinstall both. [10:16] GreenCloud, Plymouth and xsplash are two different things [10:16] *separate [10:16] ParkerR: dude, you really use chrome on linux? [10:17] Polah, the point is that he has deleted things he need to recover. I need to know what files to look for. [10:17] BenjamixXx, yeah. Why? [10:17] BenjamixXx: Why not? [10:17] well [10:17] that chromium vs. chrome thing [10:17] * theadmin uses Opera [10:17] It's a nice fast browse [10:17] *browser [10:17] BenjamixXx: Chrome just has support from Google. [10:17] And I prefer Chrome > Chromium [10:17] BenjamixXx: Chromium does not [10:17] jo-erlend: Anything he NEEDS to recover would be his own files. He should know where they are and you can boot from a LiveCD/USB and back those files up elsewhere. Anything else to do with the system would be simpler to fix by reinstalling [10:18] * BenjamixXx uses NetscapeNavigator :P [10:18] Polah, yes, the harddisk file is what I'm trying to help him recover. [10:18] ddd [10:18] dddddd [10:18] lol [10:18] BenjamixXx: as you see the post have at least more then one "solution" ~ not to speak about goole :> ~ but which of those is the proper one :> ~ [10:18] Polah, he has files. Personal files. A wine install with lots of data, etc. Reinstalling Ubuntu will not recreate personal files. [10:19] wildbat: try, if it doesnt work, try another. etc. [10:19] jo-erlend: All of those are under ~. [10:19] ffk, try [10:19] jo-erlend: Theoretically recoverable. [10:19] <64MAA25X8> hello [10:19] theadmin, he has deleted his harddisk. [10:19] sup [10:19] ParkerR: i mean the plymouth's splash screen on boot up? is there a way to disable it... increasing boot up speed [10:19] jo-erlend: There is no "harddisk file". I just told you to boot a LiveCD/USB to back those up. We don't know where he put his personal files, they could be anywhere and you'd be better asking him where to look after booting fron a LiveCD [10:19] jo-erlend: Sorry lolwut? [10:19] BenjamixXx: hehe ~ [10:19] hi all [10:19] jo-erlend: He wiped the partitions? [10:19] :D [10:19] Polah, wubi doesn't partition the harddisk. It uses a harddisk file. [10:20] jo-erlend: Oh... Yeah, that'd be... irrecoverable, true. [10:20] ck [10:20] theadmin, the disk file might be recoverable, if I know what I'm looking for. [10:20] jo-erlend: True, true, there are tools for that [10:21] theadmin, which is why I'm asking if someone can provide me with a list of the files wubi would have created in 11.04. [10:21] jo-erlend: Something like Recuva to search the drive and attempt to recover the deleted files since the data should still be there. Probably in C:\wubi or something like that, wherever he installed it. [10:21] jo-erlend: C:\ubuntu\root.vdi is the file IIRC [10:21] jo-erlend: And certain boot.ini entries [10:21] theadmin, .vdi? [10:22] ParkerR: how can you be at so manny channel at once? :D [10:22] jo-erlend: Virtual Disk Image, yes [10:22] channels* [10:22] BenjamixXx, ?? [10:22] on your screenshot [10:22] i see that you are on... let me count :D [10:22] Umm it's not hard [10:22] :O [10:22] I am on 4 channels and I think ill pass out :D [10:23] * theadmin can't handle more than 3 active channels [10:23] theadmin, it's a normal raw image, yes? [10:23] theadmin, likewise === Mud is now known as Guest56595 [10:23] jo-erlend: Let me read up on the format [10:24] its nice here, think i'll stick around :D [10:24] jo-erlend: All Wikipedia has to say is that it's used by VirtualBox [10:24] jo-erlend: Pretty much [10:24] jo-erlend: So I think I were wrong [10:24] guys ? [10:24] jo-erlend: Could also be some ovf or whatnot [10:24] jo-erlend: But no, it's no raw disk image [10:24] KadirB: Stop that. [10:25] (he's sending me random CTCP requests) [10:25] BenjaminxXx: I see the page... but... I reed about depends.... I don't see about libavdevice-extra-52 [10:25] JYRO: in that case, i suggest only one thing, try and see :D [10:26] is there a simple way of creating a mac os -like guest account on ubuntu, that is wiped on logout? would wiping /home/accountname/* accomplish that? if I had to write a script to do that, where would I put it? [10:26] JYRO: install them both, if everything ok, delete one [10:26] ok , sry [10:26] JYRO: if something wrong install again [10:27] theadmin, this sounds really strange. I would expect wubi to call them something like root.disk. [10:27] Nicd-: There is a "Guest session" option in your user menu [10:27] jo-erlend: I don't remember exactly. Want me to test? [10:27] jo-erlend: I can make a test WUBI install, it's no problem [10:27] BenjaminxXx: ok... thanks [10:28] jo-erlend: Except it would take me a while to download the disk image [10:28] JYRO: i didnt help you too much, but it should be ok now :D [10:28] theadmin: unfortunately I need a guest account, not a session. (it's going to be a public computer) [10:28] theadmin, well, I'd really just like a list of default files, but I can't find any. [10:28] question, why are there no human admins here? [10:28] i have a problem with disappearing menus from gnome panel [10:28] someone suggests i should run sudo sh -c "/usr/share/gnome-menus/update-gnome-menus-cache /usr/share/applications/ > /usr/share/applications/desktop.${LANG}.cache" [10:28] Nicd-: Oh... A logout script wiping the home directory probably [10:29] BenjaminxXx: yes, everything is ok [10:29] jo-erlend: I'll do that then (a test install) [10:29] should i substitute ${LANG} with ${US} or en-US [10:29] i am not sure [10:29] theadmin: where would I put it so that it's run on logout for the account? [10:29] jo-erlend: Can you wait for about 20 minutes for my download to finish? === BenjamixXx is now known as BenjamiX [10:29] hello [10:29] Nicd-: That I do not know *shrug* If you use LXDM as your login manager, it'd be /etc/lxdm/postlogout... Though then it'd run the script when ANY account is logged out [10:30] hm [10:30] my nick is finaly ok :D [10:30] BenjamiX, http://parkerlreed.imgur.com/ubuntu [10:30] theadmin, I don't think it's that important. Thanks :) [10:30] Just made the album [10:30] jo-erlend: Um, it's no problem. [10:31] jo-erlend: Plus I want to test the recent Mint anyway so the ISO will end up useful [10:31] ParkerR: what kind of computer do you have? i mean, specs. [10:31] theadmin: ok. thanks for the help! [10:31] jo-erlend: (Mint comes with WUBI too) [10:32] ParkerR: i see you play minecraft too :) [10:32] Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13ghz 4gb RAM Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 1gb video RAM 16" 1366x768 screen [10:32] *260m [10:32] theadmin, does it use the same filenames and such?

[10:33] ParkerR: pm? [10:33] Sure [10:34] Hello everybody, I would like to copy some files from my computer to a server using scp via ssh, but how can I mention on the command line that I have an other port number not 22 [10:35] because I'm not using the default port number on the ssh connection [10:35] Gateway': start a fps server on your vps, and then do it via ftp, not ssh [10:36] Gateway`: scp --help [10:36] or that [10:36] wildbat, thanks :) [10:36] just got this message when trying to run synaptic: E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list [10:36] E: The list of sources could not be read. [10:36] Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. [10:36] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [10:37] anyways, i have a debian on my vps, and i want that only i (my ip) can connect to it via ssh, any ideas? [10:37] oops, sorry about that...didn't know that would happen! [10:38] was wondering what i need to do to fix and then run synaptic again [10:38] wildbat, it worked using -P ;) thanks [10:39] Hello is there any kind of software like daemon tools for my ubuntu? [10:39] BenjamiX: Set up iptables to only accept connections on your SSH port from your IP. Might be better to use authentication keys and suchlike rather than IP white/blacklisting, especially if you're on a dynamic IP (i.e. your home IP changes when your home router is restarted) [10:39] Tralez: There's a handful. AcetoneISO is one. [10:39] BenjamiX: i think you can configure that in ssh_config , there is Host [10:39] Thanks [10:40] is it easy to use? [10:40] Tralez: Depends on your definition of difficult. I'd say it's fairly simple [10:40] Gateway`: ;) always useful with --help :> [10:41] Polah, wildbat: thanks guys. [10:41] .etc should be in my home folder, right? why can i not find it? [10:42] its not [10:42] purplefool: It's not .etc [10:42] purplefool: It's /etc [10:42] * BenjamiX off. [10:43] ok, that is right...but should be in home folder, right? if not, where is it so i can diagnose my problem? [10:43] It's in the / Drive [10:43] When you open nautilus on the left you should see file system [10:43] it's that dir [10:44] ok, thx...dah! is too early for me! [10:44] no problem === wildbat is now known as wildbat_semi_afk [10:46] BenjamiX: Just in case you haven't already, I recommend changing your SSH port away from 22 [10:48] BenjamiX I recommend you don't change your ssh port away from 22 [10:49] in my .bashrc I have some functions that sudo cannot use. how do I make my functions available under sudo? [10:50] ikonia: Why not? [10:50] to permit routing on every reboot, is it good to add "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to /etc/network/interfaces or these is a better config file ? [10:50] Polah: there is no need to. [10:50] ikonia, of course there is [10:50] no there isn't, I'm not getting into this again [10:50] ikonia: Just added security. From my own experience I've seen A LOT of SSH attempts on port 22. People know it's default and use various methods to attempt to gain access to servers through it. [10:51] Polah: so ? block it [10:51] it's not added security [10:52] ikonia: Changing the port blocks it. You can configure a firewall to only allow access from a certain IP, which means it's inaccessible if that IP changes for whatever reason, alternately you can just change the port and negate most of those attempts [10:52] Polah: no it doesn't block it [10:52] by default where does ubuntu put the php5 binary? I cant see it in /bin/ [10:52] Polah: a simple port scan and reveal a ssh ~ it is pointless [10:52] Polah: I suggest you look at how to secure a box rather than changing ports [10:52] va [10:53] Kingsy: /usr/bin, obviously [10:53] theadmin: thanks [10:53] Kingsy: /bin is for very important system binaries (without which you can't boot) [10:54] so guys [10:54] to permit routing on every reboot, is it good to add "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to /etc/network/interfaces or these is a better config file ? [10:54] how do i correct this problem: E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [10:54] theadmin: ah ok [10:54] Gateway`: I put that as a kernel parameter, I don't believe (but don't know for certain) if it will work in /etc/network/interfaces [10:54] I'd still change it, it's a simple way to stop simple attempts. [10:55] Polah: it's not [10:55] Polah: and it has the potential to break things depending on what you are doing [10:55] ikonia, and how can I do that ? [10:56] Gateway`: set it in sysctl [10:56] Gateway`: net.ipv4.ip_forward [10:58] hello === napster is now known as Guest37931 [11:00] ok, here is a copy of my ubuntu-wine-pa-natty-list...maybe one of you could tell me what is wrong here?? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main [11:00] deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main [11:00] ain [11:01] what is this 'ain' in the 3rd line? [11:01] purplefool: you have the word "ain" randomly at the bottom [11:01] purplefool: remove it [11:01] lol! and why did it suddenly appear here? [11:01] purplefool: you made a typo [11:02] it just took me 30 minutes to find this file...i don't think i did anything in this file...it was put there by something...and that something was not me! [11:02] purplefool: you made a typo [11:02] thank you for reading my previous post [11:03] no problem [11:07] hello everyone... I would like to ask: why I can't cd in /var/log with sudo? [11:07] hello, I recently installed the package irssi-scripts and I am wondering where that installed to. [11:08] love4linux: su - [11:08] Hi to everybody. I'm in ubuntu 11.04 and I moved to my parents house. Here I always had problems with ubuntu's "networkmanager", connection is unstable. I kind of remember that kubuntu didn't have those problems, I think Wicd works properly. Could I have instaled both Network manager without interation? Do you recomend me changing? Another way of solving the problem? [11:08] then cd /var/log [11:08] Onepamopa trying it now [11:08] ikonia, thanks for the sysctl idea, it works fine ;) [11:08] javier__: Just use wicd. [11:08] love4linux: as far as I know sudo is used to start an application, not to cd in some dir ;) [11:08] javier__: sudo apt-get install wicd === quiesense is now known as quiescens [11:09] love4linux, sudo cd /var/log won't work, user "sudo -i" then "cd /var/log" [11:09] "cd" is a shell built-in [11:09] hi [11:09] You can't "sudo" shell built-ins [11:09] Onepamopa with su - and my sudo pass throws an authentication failure [11:09] love4linux: Use "sudo -i" [11:09] love4linux: sudo passwd [11:09] enter new password [11:09] then su - [11:09] love4linux: That's Ubuntu's "su". [11:09] write the password [11:10] love4linux: you should not do that [11:10] Onepamopa, that's useless, use sudo -i instead [11:10] Onepamopa: Do not use su on Ubuntu or you'll get screamed at [11:10] Onepamopa: do not recommend that [11:10] like this [11:10] firefox in ubuntu takes alot of RAM.. do you know why? [11:10] addons? [11:10] okay too many answers and I am confused... what should I do? su -i? [11:10] theadmin: well, its always better to have password assigned to root user :) [11:10] JakeR003: Firefox *everywhere* takes a lot of RAMs. [11:10] love4linux: "sudo -i" will give you a root shell [11:10] Onepamopa: Not on Ubuntu [11:10] Onepamopa: no it's not [11:10] okays [11:10] JakeR003, firefox in any system uses a lot of RAM [11:11] Onepamopa: On Ubuntu the root account is locked out [11:11] ikonia: maybe, but I always assign a password and login as root @ ssh, + few firewall rules and allowed only from my vpn ;) [11:11] Onepamopa: And shouldn't be unlocked, doing so will void your warranty. [11:11] ikonia su -i does not exist [11:11] Onepamopa: well done on breaking the ubuntu security model [11:11] theadmin: "locked out" ? :) [11:11] love4linux: that's because I didn't say do that [11:11] Onepamopa, do it if you want, just don't recommend it [11:11] love4linux: "sudo -i" [11:12] trying that [11:12] ikonia: I have my own "security model" for that :) [11:12] love4linux: I said "sudo -i" - if you can't listen, you shouldn't use root [11:12] so...getting a bit frustrated with the usually very friendly help here. all i need now is the command to edit a sources file. tried with 'sudo edit' but would not take. [11:12] sudo -i that worked [11:12] Onepamopa: shame you're using ubuntu which in part rely on the account being locked, [11:12] purplefool: edit is not a command [11:12] purplefool: what text editor do you normally use [11:12] ikonia listen to what? [11:12] purplefool, gksudo gedit [11:12] purplefool: Try "sudo nano" [11:13] love4linux the commands I'm giving you [11:13] bazhang, thank you for tip! [11:13] ikonia : ) its okay i can listen [11:13] purplefool: Or "gksudo xdg-open ..." [11:13] ikonia: root account is still locked, just having a password and ssh port allowed only @ 10.10.10.1 (my vpn) :) [11:13] Onepamopa: setting a password unlocks the account [11:13] is there any applications availible that mimic awesomes ability to manipulate windows? [11:14] Onepamopa: Stop talking about this, please. [11:14] okay ;) [11:14] so, that worked. thx for your help. [11:15] ChessTeach: manipulate windows? [11:15] what package or service is responsible for the auto mounting? [11:15] benkinnooby: /etc/fstab [11:15] !fstab | Benkinooby [11:15] Benkinooby: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [11:16] Benkinooby, the mountall service [11:16] baecker: depends what you mean by automounting [11:16] oops [11:16] Benkinooby, epends what you mean by automounting [11:16] Benkinooby: do you mean when you plug in a usb disk ? or mounting the disks at boot [11:16] zabomber, ikonia maybe my expression was a bit unlucky. when i plug in a pen drive [11:17] Benkinooby: gvfs [11:18] how to start metacity ? [11:18] theadmin: so, wicd. Thanks [11:19] theadmin, it's allready installed. i started with a ubunut minimal install [11:20] JakeR003, metacity (or compiz) should be started when your desktop environment is loaded, what do you need to do exactly ? [11:20] theadmin, ikonia zabomber i installed gnome-mount but it doesn't mount my pen drive [11:20] it's taking 36MB of RAM [11:20] theadmin: I installed wicd. I guess I have to exit network manager and start wicd. Will this start the indicator also? [11:20] i want to see what it does [11:20] zabomber: Awesome automattically resizes windows so you can see two or more at the same time. Allows you to change the order and such [11:20] if there a possibility of disabling it without losing features ? [11:20] JakeR003, no [11:20] zabomber: all via the keyboard [11:20] javier__: Yeah [11:21] ChessTeach: sorry… I'm more a terminal guy... [11:21] JakeR003, metacity is the window manager. Without it (or another one) you won't be able to do much in a desktop environment [11:21] does anyone know a good (multi-featured) bandwidth monitor? text mode or gui it doesn't matter.. I want to use it in an ad-hoc net with a specific routing protocol to count packets, delays etc [11:22] JakeR003, 36MB is not much... [11:22] zabomber: maybe you are the guy i need to talk to then. I am trying desperatly to get rid of the mouse. How do you browse the web? [11:22] glebihan no everybody wants to buy more RAM [11:23] ChessTeach: i use firefox :) curl when I'm doing basic searching for info on a page... [11:23] JakeR003, sure, but metacity is probably the lighest windows manager you'll find (at least of the stable window managers) [11:23] send me the spare RAM sticks that you have [11:24] zabomber: what if you have something open on the web and something you are editing in vim. You use the mouse to position the two windows so you can see both at the same time? [11:24] glebihan: Not really [11:24] theadmin, any other suggestion then ? [11:24] Openbox should do [11:24] ChessTeach: i use a program called terminator (apt-get terminator) for all my consoles and i have two screens... [11:25] glebihan: Openbox [11:25] glebihan: xfwm4 too maybe [11:26] zabomber: cool, I am going to look into that thanks (I have been using awesome for the last month, but it is way to buggy) [11:26] theadmin, I don't know about openbox, as for xfwm4 I wouldn't use it with Gnome but I may be wrong [11:26] glebihan can i control how much swap file linux use? [11:26] JakeR003: Linux uses swap partitions. [11:27] JakeR003: If you don't have a separate partition, you don't have swap. [11:27] theadmin, it's possible to use a swap file [11:27] ok what if i want to limit it? [11:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq JakeR003 please have a read [11:27] ok thanks guys [11:27] and sorry for the troubles [11:34] what's the best way to see the space used and remaining space of a pen drive, hardisk ? [11:34] Benkinooby, use "df -h" [11:35] glebihan, thank you [11:35] df works only on mounted filesystems [11:35] Benkinooby: What's wrong with Disk Usage Analyzer? [11:35] df -h /media/some_name [11:35] wason, commandline is faster ;) [11:35] wason, commandline is faster ;) - for me [11:36] Can anyone help with graphics problem causing random lit pixels off over my desktop display?

[11:37] the "random lit pixels" off over your display? [11:37] CodenameStrike, when I scroll windows its specles [11:37] Probably something to do with hardware [11:37] CodenameStrike, its drivers [11:38] CodenameStrike, i saw this since switching to nvidia propriatary drivers [11:38] is there a driver for canon mg520 (scanner, printer, fax, copier), i need the feature to print logo on to a black printable cd or dvd [11:38] CodenameStrike: Figures, but if you said the proprietary drivers caused this have you thought of trying to revert or something?

[11:45] Abu-Aisha: They're stupid [11:45] Abu-Aisha: That's the only reason :D [11:46] Abu-Aisha: As for phones, get an Android :P [11:46] theadmin is there a way to see the colors supported/recognized by vim? [11:47] <\DSAFEW\> Abu-Aisha, I had good luck googling "Canon PIXMA" linux [11:47] Abu-Aisha, apparently they do write drivers for linux : http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010890.asp [11:47] love4linux: Not sure. I just googled "change comment color vim" [11:47] theadmin: where do you see good support for android-phones, theres not even a sync-app available yet [11:47] theadmin no worries I will search for it [11:47] love4linux: Uhm... sync? [11:48] <\DSAFEW\> Abu-Aisha, I'm pretty sure if you don't have drivers for it already, they'll be in the software repo search pixma or canon or something like that [11:48] theadmin what exactly can I do with sync? [11:50] hey i am running ubuntu and i am trying to install a network printer hp1217nfw , i've downloaded the drivers from hplip, but when i install the driver and select the printer the installer says http://pastie.org/2355308 [11:50] is that a bug [11:50] do i need a binary driver [11:51] love4linux i think theadmin was refering to llutz [11:51] love4linux i think theadmin was refering to llutz by mentioning sync [11:52] <\DSAFEW\> m1h0, what do you mean by "i've downloaded the drivers from hplip"? [11:53] Benkinooby i am sorry but I never heard of llutz.. what is it exactly? [11:53] theadmin: how to close networkmanager?

[12:11] livingdaylight, yeah ,, not sure how much of an issue they are at this point,, I generally go 32 to avoid any 64 issue at this point,, [12:12] livingdaylight, I dont recall hearing too much about flash on 64 bit recently,, but I am not always here === sabayonuser is now known as chachu [12:12] coz_, that would be the reason for me to go 32 as well, to avoid that.

Can anyone help me with this, please? [12:29] raman, it is not redirecting me here,, it simply opens the text file in firefox [12:29] _eddie_: what happens when you use xdg-open directly yourself? [12:29] coz_, the desktop constantly hangs and draws specles all the time. the nouvea drivers are better and don't crash but they leave patches unreplaced when moving windows around [12:29] I am installing/updating some things with synaptic, but it won't finish. It's stuck on update-initramfs [12:30] elsjaako: that usually takes a bit [12:30] jrib: like 15 minutes? [12:30] elsjaako: not usually that long, no [12:30] codemagician, ok this is a new one for me,,,,, also ask in #nvidia,, see if they have any clue why this particular card is an issue with current nvidia drivers [12:31] coz_, ok thanks.. can I ask what that line tells us?

[13:39] thanks guys.. i really appericate your help [13:39] Halabund: yes [13:39] JakeR003: np [13:40] hello. In my Ubuntu environment, using bash in a screen session, the commands used inside that session are not written to my ~/.bash_history. The end of the file looks like this instead: http://paste.ubuntu.com/663414/ . I would like to have the commands used in the screen session in there, though. I thought I've seen that differently in other distros, that's why I'm asking here. [13:40] JakeR003: sudo service name stop you can tab complete the service name [13:41] ichbinder: i believe it will be written once you end the session. I've seen the same [13:42] ichbinder, probably need to play with your .inputrc as only the last bash session writes its contents [13:42] service my mistake [13:42] service stop my mistake [13:42] how to install php 5.2 in natty?

If I add it to /etc/hosts.allow will it whitelist it forever? [13:43] ActionParsnip: hm, nope. I each of those opened session represents one day of work inside that session. Opened in the morning, closed in the evening... [13:44] tiemonster: denyhosts has an own whitelist /var/lib/something [13:44] ichbinder: hmm, not sure then [13:44] escott: ah, ok... i'll give that a try. "cmdhist" and "cdspell histverify" do what? [13:44] another question: how do I have the windows partitions mounted by default on startup? [13:45] ichbinder, the history file is only updated when you end the session by default ... and unless you have the histappend option set .. every session truncates the file [13:45] tiemonster: /var/lib/denyhosts/allowed-hosts it is [13:45] llutz: thanks! [13:45] niez: http://www.nickveenhof.be/blog/reverting-or-downgrade-php-53-52-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-1004 it's for lucid, the same style method my apply [13:45] Halabund: add them to /etc/fstab [13:45] niez: i don't recommend it personally [13:45] ActionParsnip: hm, you are right in general.

[13:47] llutz: yeah - *just* found that. [13:47] Can someone please help me? [13:47] ichbinder, cmdhist puts multiline commands in a single historty line. cdspell fixes spelling errors in cd, and histverify suppresses invalid commands from the history [13:47] alex--: and then attach the device and it will act as a regular USB drive [13:47] unop: I normally only open a single session and end it after a few hours with CRTL+A CTRL+\. Next day, I open a new session and history is still the same as when I opened the session before... so not updated. [13:47] ichbinder, the $HISTFILE is only written to when you close the bash shell [13:48] escott: oh, cool. Sounds all interesting. [13:48] where can I find mirrors with dvds?

[13:52] Iszak: Except that you'll have a wubi install :P [13:53] spacebug-: That works except for the bootloader I think [13:53] spacebug-: use unetbootin [13:53] Iszak, impact on what? the general opinion on wubi here is that it is better to use a vm or install directly to disk [13:53] edbian, I mean will it detect I've got a SSD and optimize for that? [13:53] spacebug-: some distros that will work, not ubuntu [13:53] ActionParsnip: we dont have that many ports open [13:53] behind a firewall [13:54] elb0w: 2 secs [13:54] Iszak, except you are running the whole os through an ntfs layer so your performance will still suck [13:54] escott, ha, better to use a VM? please sure if I want things to run even slower. [13:54] ActionParsnip: thanks appreciate it [13:54] ActionParsnip: oh I see, so it is not a normal way of doing it since the bootloader might not be placed correct on the stick? [13:54] elb0w: shame, oh well. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-dvd-i386.iso [13:54] escott, wubi performance has always been unnoticable for me. [13:54] Iszak: I'm not sure [13:54] elb0w: remember to MD5 test [13:54] spacebug-: not in ubuntu [13:54] ok thanks [13:55] ok [13:55] Iszak: I don't think you'll notice bad performance either. But I still suggest a regular install. However in either case I'm unsure of the SSD problem. [13:55] ichbinder, maybe you need to have a ~/.bash_logout file with this in it .. history -a [13:55] lets not get into a debate as to use wubi or not, I'm going to use it regardless.

[13:58] unop: i'll give escott's solution a try and if that doesn't work, I'll try your way. Definitely, thanks for the help and the explanations! [13:58] psypher246, wouldn't that be just the current directory? [13:58] Iszak: oh ok so get the latest dev pcksg [13:58] How does apt set PYTHONPATH? I believe either pip or easyinstall added some uneeded modules crufting out the existing python, now when i run python I get: bash: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory although which python shows /usr/bin/python -> python2.7 which I can use /usr/bin/python directly no problem. [13:58] JakeR003: yes. [13:58] psypher246, you can definitely try that yes. [13:58] dsnyders: oh you want all sub dirs asd well [13:59] tightwork: run "hash -r" [13:59] Id like to set it properly rather than making a symlink to /usr/local/bin/python [13:59] thanks [13:59] then pici is correct [13:59] Iszak: Your question about SSD : http://askubuntu.com/questions/52258/ssd-really-supported-on-ubuntu-11-04 [13:59] psypher246, Yes, that's why I said tree.

New terminal would have worked too ;) [14:00] JakeR003: i guess u are better off using .xpm files though, and like windows they wont automatically be associated to the executables. [14:00] psypher246, np. I think Pici's find /path/ -type f | wc -l idea will work. [14:00] jrib: i thought it was a term problem, tried source /etc/profile... different stuffs..

[14:14] this ting aptitude [14:14] JakeR003: aptitude isn't default now, so you ca simply either install aptitude or switch the command to use apt-get [14:14] ok [14:14] sorry for the bad joke.. been working on ubuntu all day yesterday & i hate to break it [14:15] JakeR003: with a NEW OS you will need patince to learn new stuff and to get used to searching for guides [14:15] i don't trsut the search engine ActionParsnip. i trust ppl [14:15] I've got a 123GB internal harddrive, NTFS format...I can't run any applications/games or anything off it. I presume it's permissions? What can I do? [14:15] JakeR003: all I did was search and pasted the first guide I found mentioning the right package [14:16] JakeR003: if you can be more autonomous, you will be less of a strain on the community as you will be able to fix your own stuff [14:16] mang0: linux can't be installed on ntfs [14:16] auronandace: I'm not trying to install linux on ntfs. I'm trying to run a linux program... [14:16] JakeR003, you have to realize that most of us haven't done this particular thing ourselves. We can search for instructions and verify they look mostly correct, but we can't know that everything will work perfectly [14:16] <_ProGammer> hello [14:16] mang0: what program?

[14:17] that's why i ask here [14:17] mang0: I suggest you add the playdeb ppa and install urbanterror there [14:18] _ProGammer: not sure, you could use http://packages.ubuntu.com to check [14:18] escott: How do I make it so I can exec it? [14:18] ActionParsnip: what's the playdeb ppa? [14:18] _ProGammer: /usr/share/icons/ [14:18] mang0: go find out. Lots of games there [14:18] <_ProGammer> ActionParsnip: i want to change icon for .c .py .pl files [14:18] <_ProGammer> any other suggestion [14:19] mang0, add "exec" to the fstab mount options for that partiton, but its easier and more secure to just install from apt [14:19] _ProGammer: if you are installing a theme then you can use the archive of the theme and install it using Appearance Preferences [14:19] ActionParsnip, escott: I can run these games, but I want to swap the drive they're on from the ext4 (ubuntu) to the 123GB internal..... [14:19] <_ProGammer> ActionParsnip: i have the default theme [14:19] JakeR003: so if you have issues at work, do you rely purely on colleagues? === ScoRcH-afk is now known as o0oScoRcHo0o [14:20] <_ProGammer> i just want to change those icons [14:20] _ProGammer: thats what the appearance prefs is for [14:21] mang0: humblebundle3 is a paid for game, I'm not sure how that is installed [14:21] ActionParsnip: If I reformated the 123GB drive from ntfs to ext4 would that work? [14:21] reformatted* [14:22] mang0: what are you trying to achieve? [14:22] ActionParsnip: ablity to run apps from my 123GB internal. [14:23] I am an ambassador for world grape day [14:23] vuPg4, wrong channel === Mud is now known as Guest48173 [14:23] _ProGammer you can just overwrite the icons in /usr/share/icons//mimetypes/ [14:23] SORRY!!! lol [14:24] _ProGammer their should be for exmaple some file gnome-mime-text-x-python.png and so on for the files [14:24] <_ProGammer> ldr: there is too many numbered folders [14:25] _ProGammer the numbers are the sizes best you overwrite the icons in all of them otherwise you have to figure out which size is used on your desktop and overwrite that [14:26] _ProGammer just make a backup from the iconset you are using and play around a bit whats the worst thing that can happen [14:27] <_ProGammer> thanks ldr [14:27] <_ProGammer> and ActionParsnip [14:27] how to copy an icon from a flash disk to user / share / icon folder ?

Not supported by most Linux programs. [14:35] _ProGammer: sure, you can use a different png, or use imagemagick to convert to png [14:35] <_ProGammer> :-* thanks [14:38] Hamsters [14:39] If I format a NTFS drive to EXT4 will I be able to run games off it? [14:39] mang0: why not? [14:39] mang0: Windows won't recognize it. [14:39] mang0: Other than that, it's fine. [14:39] iceroot: atm it's ntfs, and I can't run anything on/off it [14:40] theadmin: I don't have windows. === sean is now known as Guest85044 [14:40] mang0: NTFS does not handle UNIX-like permissions, so you can't really set the executable flag (thus run anything) on files on it === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-Zzz [14:40] mang0: mounting ntfs with "uid=,exec" should let you run stuff from it (whyever one wants that) [14:41] theadmin: It does actually. They're implemented in windows 7 [14:41] llutz: I just cba to format as ext4, but I'll do it if it means I can run stuff [14:41] does anyone know which package "/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so" belongs to? [14:42] voidmage: dpkg -S /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so [14:42] edbian: Hm, but... "The term 'chmod' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again." [14:42] edbian: So how do you handle them then? [14:43] codemagician: dpkg -S /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so === ericm_ is now known as ericm-Zzzz [14:43] llutz, no match [14:43] theadmin: Do you mean chmod is missing in windows 7? The only way I know is through the gui (right clicking each file). Apparently NTFS has had permissions since xp in 2001 but xp / vista did not implement any way to use them. [14:43] codemagician: If it's not installed yet? [14:43] llutz, its not installed [14:43] edbian: They did, but it's different [14:43] !find nouveau_dri.so [14:44] File nouveau_dri.so found in libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental, libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental-dbg [14:44] codemagician: ^^^ [14:44] theadmin, yes, Im tring to get the 3d nouveau stuff working for my graphics card [14:44] edbian: You have to unmark "Enable simple file sharing" in Folder Properties or whatnot :D [14:44] dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so. [14:44] edbian: Also, those permissions are... different [14:44] theadmin: That is for samba sharing. File permissions are different aren't they? [14:44] codemagician: File nouveau_dri.so found in libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental, libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental-dbg [14:46] edbian: PMed you a link proving otherwise :D [14:48] llutz, thanks [14:50] How long will it take to format a 123GB hd? === Rez is now known as LoRez [14:50] anyone who can help me out with iphone? [14:50] alex--: this is #ubuntu [14:50] I want to view the music on it and the pictures [14:50] try #apple [14:50] but where is it mounted [14:50] or #iphone [14:50] idk [14:50] /mnt/ is empty [14:50] :/ [14:50] mang0: #apple and #iphone can't help me out with ubuntu [14:50] I seem to have misplaced my home directory [14:51] I forgot my password and chnaged it [14:51] alex--: I thought you were talking about a purely iphone problem :P sorry [14:51] alex--, maybe /media ? [14:51] alex--, check the output of `mount` and check in the /media directory [14:51] alex--: see what dmesg says after you plug in the usb cable. [14:51] mnt and media are empty [14:51] alex--: you might have to install libimobiledevice2 .. google it [14:51] Guest85044, what does this have to do with misplacing your home directory [14:52] with another admin account and now have only Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop in my home directory [14:52] i think it interfaces with ifuse [14:52] I assume it's encrypted and hidden [14:52] tightwork: it cant find the package [14:52] is therer anyway to recover it [14:52] Guest85044, you need your password to unwrap the key used to encrypt your data. or you need to have backed up the key as instructed when you first used the computer [14:53] hmm, none of my regular passwords appaer to work [14:53] alex--: I have it.. and I dont have any third party repos [14:54] tightwork: how can I check if i have it too? [14:54] alex--: aptitude search mobiledevi [14:55] I have a problem with Update Manager and Package Manager: error msg ends E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [14:55] s/aptitude/apt-cache [14:55] :P [14:55] alex--: dont paste in chan, use pastebin thx [14:55] since ubuntu no longer comes with aptituide, i dont think we should promote using it [14:55] tightwork: what are you talking about? [14:55] where am i pasting? [14:56] I did back up the key, only it was in my home directory [14:56] tightwork: what are you talking about? where am i pasting?

Its just something i noticed when i installed 11.04, aptitiude is no longer installed by default. I trust the ubuntu devs, and assume apt-get is simply better [14:57] bazhang: enough of what? [14:58] alex--: That didn't do it [14:58] alex--, the nonsense commentary [14:58] rrg_: What sort of device are you trying to install Ubuntu on? === oscuro1987 is now known as Guest61637 [14:59] i just install ubuntu os over windows using live cd [14:59] I have an issue where a php script run as a normal user cannot create a folder and file inside the /tmp directory. I noticed that the owner for /tmp is root:root, do I need to change that? [15:00] Someone could help me ... I can not remove a package. http://pastebin.com/UanZRDsW ( Ubuntu 11.04 Natty ) ?? [15:00] rrg_: Have you tried testing your CD for defects? [15:00] rrg_ device = laptop, desktop, tablet [15:00] it worked [15:00] or rather who owns /tmp [15:01] Bisu[Shield] the permissions on /tmp should be 777 + t [15:01] my laptop hp pavilian g6 i5 === aquarat_ is now known as aquarat [15:01] Mendigo: sudo apt-get purge oracle-xe-universal:i386 and please use "LANG=C ...command..." next time to show pastes here [15:02] Mendigo: You probably didn't install that package with apt-get. So apt-get doesn't know about it. Use sudo dpkg -rP oracle [15:02] So is there a short cut key for copy and paste or is that something I would have to make in the system preferences? [15:02] all files lost then === dw-_ is now known as dw- [15:02] seems a shame [15:02] its kinda shocking when you find some thing like scsi disk support to be horribly broken on a platform [15:02] yea but which owner owns /tmp? [15:02] Bisu[Shield]: root:root [15:02] Reaper: Ctrl-C Ctrl-V lol [15:03] Reaper: in a terminal, select, then middle button or right click [15:03] thanks [15:03] thanx [15:03] let me see why this is not working [15:03] also, in terminal, Ctrl-Shift C (or V) [15:03] Bisu[Shield]: "sudo chmod 1777 /tmp" [15:03] drwxrwxrwt === 777 + t correct? [15:03] Bisu[Shield]: correct [15:04] nice orn ;) [15:04] Bisu[Shield], yes. you do know what +t means right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit [15:04] hi [15:05] Xorg causes 100% cpu load sometimes and does not come down again. how to find out why and to solve that?

[15:06] dw-: no [15:06] dw-: Obviously not [15:06] k [15:06] Pici: look please http://pastebin.com/Ng7VKvxc [15:06] Help very very appreciated :) [15:06] dw-, a few years down the line, when we go back to the whole mainframe/thin-client setup where your PC no longer has a harddrive, it will probably be mandatory :P [15:06] Pici: : he says that the package ta it more when I'm not uninstall [15:07] "a few years" = 10+ [15:07] I'm using PuTTY and Firefox to use my shell accounts as proxy servers so I can surf the web anonymously: http://home.no/mritz/screenshots - but how come some sites are able to tell my real IP still - and how do I prevent this? [15:07] dw-, at present way of ubuntu i am not sure of that.... ubuntu is getting worse and worse [15:07] Mendigo: oracle-xe-universal:i386 is the full package name. [15:07] how do you change sshd in ubuntu to allow non-root users to login ? [15:07] lol [15:07] SwordManX, shouldn't require a change thats the default [15:07] SwordManX: thats default behaviour, no change needed [15:07] hm [15:07] doesn't seem like it in my instance [15:07] i keep getting a permission denied [15:08] and it's not an invalid username/password [15:08] mgj I will set up my own "cloud" server. I won't rely on anything as fragile as an internet connection for my OS. [15:08] SwordManX: check /etc/hosts.allow[.deny] [15:08] Pici: sorry hehe tks man =] [15:08] k [15:08] i am using laptop-mode on my computer and turns usb autosuspend on, which is i guess a good thing, but it means that when i am using my usb mouse in battery mode and stop usiing it usb port wil shutdown and i have to replug it, does anyone know if their is a way to turn off this behavior besides deactivating usb autosuspend? [15:08] Xorg causes 100% cpu load sometimes and does not come down again. how to find out why and to solve that? [15:08] Mendigo: np [15:09] TheFuzzball, agreed. But i dont think, in the future, that its reasonable for people to host and maintain their own cloud. The time and money required is simply too much. I really do believe, down the line, we will live completely in the cloud, no matter how much that may or may not suck for the users. [15:10] hi, does anyone know of a program i can use to download mail from an Exchange mailbox into maildir format, without using pop3 or imap? I can authenticate to the account using "Exchange" mode on my iphone, and OWA is enabled, but i can't find any tools that will do this. getmail doesn't seem to support exchange auth.

I have disabled IPv6 also [15:13] now, komodo edit 6 is not running on ubuntu 10.04 :'( [15:14] I keep getting an issue where the unity application bar on the right, won ever hide. [15:14] It is always on top of my applications. Itś small, but itś still annoying [15:19] hey, Just wondering. Is there a good was to convert protected itunes m4ps to flac or mp3 or something nicer? These songs are a total pain. [15:20] You can't convert MP4 to FLAC, MP4 is lossy and FLAC is lossless.

[15:27] thanks pici [15:27] Logos01:yeah, how to modify it to be persistent? [15:27] sre-su: I believe there is something available that relates to Ubuntu only. It creates a small savable area on he USB. I only saw it on offcahce a couple of days ago when playing with unetbootin and have not tried it myself [15:28] sre-su: Well, that really depends on what distro you're trying to do it with and how you go about it. Given what I know... what has Google told you so far?

[15:40] Where is iPhone directory mounted in Ubuntu? [15:40] my ubuntu sometimes no return from hibernation.. [15:40] ubuntu 11.4 [15:40] alex--: iPhone does not work with Linux, k? [15:40] That command won't work but the manifest file lists the default packages for a distro and you can grep the manifest file for package types. :) [15:40] alex--: I told you that you need to look at what dmesg says when you plug it in. [15:40] wat ... iPhone v. Ubuntu... lol [15:40] my machine is a Dell [15:40] ikonia: i need that for pushpool and it dnt work with the libevent 1.4 [15:40] alex--: Look in /media or /mnt [15:41] !behelpful | theadmin [15:41] can't find glibc 2.4 (or higher) in syn mgr.... [15:41] theadmin: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [15:41] Anybody? DOSbox issue? [15:41] Logos01: Yeah, for me it'll just tell "'wget' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program or filename blah blah" xD Windows [15:41] theadmin: it does, I can view my pictures on it, (Logos01) but i can't find it in /mnt or /media. [15:41] rabbi1: what ar eyou trying to do [15:41] alex--: Oh, hm, can you open it in Nautilus? [15:41] coinmaster: no idea what pushpool is, I'll need to research it [15:41] Pici: sorry didnt saw your message about dmesg [15:41] https://github.com/jgarzik/pushpool [15:41] theadmin: yes, my computer > iphone [15:41] ikonia: https://github.com/jgarzik/pushpool [15:41] alex--: Go there and hit Ctrl+L [15:42] but i want it in a folder like /mnt/iphone [15:42] alex--: Tada. [15:42] ikonia: installed komodo edit, not working, so checked the dependency, so looking for glibc 2.4 [15:42] alex--: If you can see it in nautilus, but not in /media/ or /mount/ then its probably be mounted via gvfs. See ~/.gvfs/ [15:42] theadmin: Well then just clickey teh linkey and then CTRL+F the textfile in notepad. [15:42] Lazybum. [15:42] rabbi1: how are you trying to install it - please don't say compile it [15:42] escott, thanks. [15:42] theadmin: i will try [15:43] Logos01: lol notepad? No thanks, I'd rather use Vim... even here [15:43] ikonia: i did download the .tar file and then ./install.sh [15:43] coinmaster: the readme doesn't say it needs libevent2.x ? are you sure it needs 2.x ? [15:43] theadmin: I knows what you means. But anywhere you can use Vim you can also use Cygwin. [15:43] I keep hearing different things. Does Ubuntu take packages from Debian Unstable or Debian Testing? [15:43] So fie on you and your non-wgettery. [15:43] Logos01: True, except Cygwin is a meh. [15:44] rypervenche: Ubuntu uses six-month-old snapshots of Debian Testing, which it adds its own flavor to. [15:44] Logos01: Also, I can't click links in my IRC client xD [15:44] theadmin: CNP yo. [15:44] copypasta! [15:44] Logos01: lol [15:44] theadmin: Then gnutils 4 windows [15:44] rypervenche: We grabbed Testing for the last LTS, but unstable normally. [15:44] Logos01: Ok, so it is Testing then. Thank you.^^ [15:44] wget! WWWWWGGGGGEEEETTTTT [15:44] Ahhhh [15:44] That would explain the confusion. [15:45] Logos01, theadmin: Can we try to stay on-topic here? [15:45] Pici: Sure, okay [15:45] ikonia: when i try to run the pushpoold from xenland miningfarm git i get the msg that i need that https://github.com/Xenland/MiningFarm/ [15:45] ikonia: i did download the .tar file and then ./install.sh [15:45] Logos01: I'd listen to what she/he says [15:45] Heh. Topic? Like... helping people when they ask questions... [15:45] So it takes from Debian Testing for the LTS versions, and from Debian Unstable for the normal releases? [15:45] Related to Ubuntu's behaviors... [15:46] Logos01: Yah boring stuff, or you can PM me and we can continue this. [15:46] theadmin: I've been kicked from here before because of my frustration at not being helped despite helping others. [15:46] Might pre-empt it this time though. [15:46] One last try: [15:46] Help needed: DOSbox in 11.04 (amd64) -- no audio. Any body? [15:47] I am trying to get sound to work for a game in wine using "...pasuspend -- wine " but it doesnt seem to work [15:47] is there anything I need to do to make pasuspend work? [15:47] friends, need my komodo edit work on 10.04, any help, running "komodo" on terminal gives nothing.... [15:48] stealz: I got sound to work in wine using "padsp" before [15:48] stealz: Try that [15:48] rypervenche: That is my understanding. LTSes are every two years though, so thats a bit of time for policies to change. [15:48] theadmin, thanks [15:49] Ok, thank you very much. [15:49] theadmin: when i do ctrl L it tells me that it's in computer:/// [15:50] alex--: I mean, open the iPhone folder first there, and then ctrl-l [15:50] Alrighty, I give up. [15:50] Screw y'all -- theadmin, you're cool. I'm stealing the chickens too. [15:50] theadmin, I'm just reading on a forum about padsp, and it seems I also need to use it on winecfg, but I dont know where to put it... I just type padsp winecfg in a terminal? or will that just run another instance of it? [15:51] theadmin, putting it in the launcher alone didnt work [15:51] stealz: I think that'd do, yeah === balgarath_ is now known as balgarath [15:52] I installed ubuntu 10.04 lts on a Dell laptop a few minutes ago. But when the installation is done I have no internet access, no graphic drivers etc. Aren't you supposed to get quite much installed "by default" when installing Ubuntu? [15:53] rotmos: most of times yup [15:53] when I play a mp3 in banshee, the song cracks at certain parts. But if I play it in mplayer, it plays well. What's happening? [15:53] there's usually so much default that it's a hindrance, never installed on a dell though [15:53] theadmin, nope, still no result :( the only thing that worked so far was disabling pulse by doing killall pulseaudio and then editing etc/pulse to disable autolaunch, but that causes a lot of other problems [15:53] c0de-x: any suggestions why nothing works? =) [15:53] theadmin, I also tried switching to OSS Sound [15:54] u have to googl'it [15:54] stealz: Oh... Well, sad... I don't think I could help more than that. Well I tried. [15:54] theadmin, ok, thanks anyways [15:54] friends, need my komodo edit work on 10.04, any help, running "komodo" on terminal gives nothing.... [15:54] I guess I'll stick to either linux games, or just playing in windows for the future [15:55] rotmos, you need to install proprietary drivers jockey-gtk [15:55] rotmos, if you need proprietary drivers you won't get them untill you enable them in synaptic [15:55] thanks: how do I get the proprietary drivers jockey-gtk if I dont have access to internet thou? [15:55] how to uninstall komodo which was installed using ./install.sh ? [15:56] rotmos, I know; It sucks if you need a driver for wireless [15:56] rotmos, your ethernet likely works so plug in [15:56] rabbi1: Please make sure that you're following all the install instructions, especially step 7: http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/4.4/install.html#Installing_Komodo_on_Linux [15:57] can anyone help? [15:57] I have another question with internet access thou. Can I download proprietary drivers jockey-gtk and then install from like a USB-drive? [15:57] rotmos: It would be best if you could find an Internet source for it to do it all automatically. [15:57] man [15:58] nitzs: with what? [15:58] again my computer just freezes up, and I can't even get to any of the tty command shells! [15:58] Is there a command line method to create persistence in LiveUSB? [15:58] Pici: thanks, but i have done all those steps, still its not working, just thought of unistalling it and reinstalling it. I am unable to find the libraries./ dependencies they specified there... :( [15:58] szal, when I play a mp3 in banshee, the song cracks at certain parts. But if I play it in mplayer, it plays well. What's happening? [15:58] rotmos, I have done that with ndswrapper and windows drivers [15:58] I have to tur it off the pushing the botton. [15:58] I have internet access, but it refuses to work in my ubuntu installation for some reason =( [15:58] may be a DELL issue [15:58] rotmos, for my inspiron laptop [15:59] rabbi1: Those prequesiites should already be installed. [15:59] Pici: yeah, but i should atleast find that in synaptic manager rite? [15:59] rotmos, I believe I used dpkg command to instal the .deb file [16:00] how can I start a program, say pulseaudio, from a terminal as a daemon so it doesnt get terminated when I exit the terminal? [16:00] rotmos: Can you use an ethernet connection? [16:00] steal command & [16:00] stealz: command & disown [16:00] ty rypervenche [16:00] stealz: & disown, or nohup, or screen, or tmux [16:01] thanks jrib [16:01] stealz: Or press alt+F2 and start it from there. [16:01] rypervenche, nice idea [16:01] Wait...may not be in Unity... [16:01] I'm trying with a ethernet connection ( a cord into the computer ) without luck, gonna try again and see f something happens [16:01] rabbi1: yes, but keep in mind that package names are not always standard. [16:01] yes, its the application run dialog rypervenche [16:02] that fixed everything. Thanks again guys [16:02] and I run Lucid anyways [16:02] Good good, both will work then. [16:02] Pici: ok, then now how will i know all dependencies are installed, especially when it's not working :-/ [16:02] stealz: Putting & at the end of a command will put it in the background, but if you close the terminal it will close it. So you need "& disown". [16:02] szal, anything? [16:03] * szal doesn't use Banshee [16:03] rypervenche, yeah, I figured out how & works already, but the disown part is what I was looking for [16:03] blame the person who created that MP3 [16:03] what is the C# to C converter package? [16:03] rypervenche, thanks [16:04] rypervenche, right, you need to type exit to close the termnal and not use the close button [16:04] Pici: can you make something out of this "Komodo-Edit-6/bin/../lib/mozilla/komodo-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [16:04] " [16:05] rabbi1: what is the output of: ls /usr/bin/libgtk-x11* [16:05] cd [16:05] what should i do to make ubuntu share my webcam with vbox ? [16:05] gonna try install the 32-bit version instead and see if that helps [16:06] ActionParsnip: no such file or directory [16:06] szal, has it something to with the fact that it's a 5.1ch 320kbps MP3? [16:07] hey guys, quick Q.. how come the new Unity file search doesn't actually locate any files in my home folder or within folders in my home? [16:08] mono is already working on ubuntu? [16:08] Ramses_: Should be [16:08] rabbi1: are you running lubuntu? [16:08] or I need to add more code to it to make it functional? [16:08] I have a strange problem - I tried to add a swap partition to my system and now I can only boot in recovery mode [16:08] anyone know why the file search lens doesn't actually find files? [16:09] ActionParsnip: nop.....Distributor ID: Ubuntu, Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, Release: 10.04, Codename: lucid [16:09] rabbi1: sure but are you using gnome desktop? [16:09] in normal mode, it goes from the boot splash to a black screen, and I can't use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a VC, but it responds normally to Ctrl-Alt-Del [16:09] ookay then [16:09] ActionParsnip: yeah gnome, ok gnome is lubuntu? [16:09] Ramses_: The package for System.Windows.Forms namespace is separate, as well as... I think a few others, but mostly it's fine by default [16:10] rabbi1: lxde is used by default in Lubuntu [16:10] rabbi1: seems to be in libgtk2.0-0 source: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=stable&arch=i386 [16:10] aargh [16:11] elo [16:11] ActionParsnip: one more thing to consider, I see architecture i386 in the link. mine is amd x2 64 [16:11] is there an ubuntu help channel? [16:11] by any chance? [16:11] whuuutever: It's here... [16:11] what should i do to make ubuntu share my webcam with vbox ? [16:11] rabbi1: that is your processor arch, doesn't automatically mean you used 64bit ubuntu [16:11] rabbi1: the package name will be the same too [16:12] avernos, requires you share the usb stack usually not sure that is supported in free virtualbox [16:12] theadmin: ahh, ok. any ideas why the Unity file search lens doesn't really locate my files? [16:12] whuuutever: Nope, well, if nobody knows nobody answers [16:12] damn. ok [16:12] ohh.. i see, ty escott [16:12] ActionParsnip: yeah, got it. but there are 2 files one is fullname other is fullname with 2000.1 . whats the difference ? [16:12] ActionParsnip: yeah, i use 64 bit ubuntu [16:12] I can do recovery mode -> resume normal boot -> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start and it works fine, so I'm thinking X is not the problem. [16:13] ok, easier question.. in 11.04, if I run apps that have notification icons like Shutter, Parcellite, etc.. will they show up in the panel at the top? [16:13] cuz when I run DavMail, it has no icon [16:13] 你们好 [16:13] rabbi1: thats the debug file, you don't need it [16:13] I think yuwei just called us a bunch of girls. I could be wrong though [16:14] ActionParsnip: ok, will goahead then with it [16:14] ActionParsnip: brb [16:14] whuuutever reagarding your search problem maybe this helps: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/real-files-folders-search-unity-lens.html [16:14] I will join the mono development [16:14] Hi. Is it possible to recover data from a raid5 array consisting of 3 disks made in synology nas, by only using two disks? I was recommened to recreate the array so i was planning to get ubuntu live and get mdadm up and running and attach and try "mdadm --assemble --scan" and then mount it. Is that possible? [16:14] Miguel needs a hand [16:15] o whyyyyy whyyy [16:15] ldr: thanks, checking that out now [16:15] ok beginner's question: Can I copy the kernel (and the modules) of one distro and use it with some other distro? [16:15] ActionParsnip: toomany dependencies there aswell. can't I get that from repo? [16:15] Ramses_: What is his issue? [16:15] !cn > yuwei [16:15] yuwei, please see my private message [16:15] I need a package to convert C# to C and C to C# [16:15] ldr: AHH.. ok, I didn't realize it won't search for files you've never opened. [16:15] ldr: cool.. thanks for that [16:15] whuuutever you are welcome [16:15] Ramses_: sudo apt-get install gcc [16:16] thank you [16:16] whocares in general yes but it could lead to problems [16:16] later gents [16:16] ActionParsnip: also, from synaptic i get ia32-libs (without -gtk) is this the same ? [16:17] whocares cause for example ubuntu depeds on some kernel patches like the apparmor compatibilty patch may not be in the kernel you copy [16:17] ldr, what if I want to use the .38 of ubuntu natty and use it with debian squeeze? [16:18] whocares cant tell you for sure but you can install 2 kernels at the same time and put both of them in grub so you can try it [16:18] can we speak chinese [16:18] hello all [16:18] ldr, if it boots and seems stable is it good for regular desktop usage? [16:19] whocares i would say so, but you should try all your applications [16:19] whocares their can be some problems you dont see at first glance [16:19] i'd also need to update the initramfs then. [16:19] where can i find good info about setting up ubuntu to wifi testing? [16:19] whocares no you need two diffrent initrds one for every kernel [16:20] i have som problems with configuration [16:20] searchr: What specific problem(s)? [16:20] ldr i think i dont use an initrd so i am not sure, but i think its safer to generate 2 diffrent initrds [16:21] usr13: based on this tut http://airodump.net/wireless-hacking-ultimate-ubuntu-guide/, i dont know how to check what type of wifi cart do i use, so next parts of tutorial goeas wrong [16:21] usr13: may i msg you? [16:21] searchr: yes [16:21] whocares but if you use the .deb packages from ubuntu and install them in debian their should be .deb package for the ramdisk too [16:23] rabbi1: that is the debian 32bit deb so is of no value to you, is there not a 64bit deb? === dsafds is now known as thesssx [16:24] hiiiiiiiii [16:25] i have downloaded utorrent .tar.gz file .how can i install it ? [16:25] ambarish: It uses certain outdated libraries and just won't work, sorry. [16:25] !tar | ambarish [16:25] ambarish: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [16:26] ambarish: tar xzvf utorrent.tar.gz [16:26] ambarish: install unp, makes life easier ;) [16:27] !info unp [16:27] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre5 (natty), package size 14 kB, installed size 120 kB [16:27] ambarish: you will extract a binary, run it and you can manipulate the app via the usual web interface only [16:27] how to install unp ? [16:27] Hi guys, this will sound quite stupid (and it is). [16:28] Melior, 2 copies + 1 parity? [16:28] ambarish: same as any other app, if you have a GUI then simply right click and extract [16:28] I have an ubuntu laptop on the company (where all other computers are RHEL, fedora and Centos) and I configured it to plug on a NIS domain. Unfortunatelly I was stupid and created Ubuntu's default user with the same name as one of the NIS users [16:28] So the user could not login, since Ubuntu tried to logon him as the machine user, not the nis one [16:28] ok [16:29] ActionParsnip: ia32-libs is a huge file of 36.6 MB..... still loading, mean time will have dinner...... tc [16:29] then I deleted the user locally, he logged in with his NIS password ok [16:29] rabbi1: if thelib only exists in 32bit then you will need it [16:29] but now after a reboot he can't login anymore and the default user is gone [16:30] Is there any option besides reinstalling ubuntu? [16:30] ActionParsnip: yeah, that's correct, I din't realize. before this i had 8.04 i386 on 64 bit processor. I din't notice that this time..... [16:30] (I recall something like a recover menu, but don't recall how to get to it) [16:30] rabbi1: hardy desktop support is no more [16:30] ActionParsnip: mean time wil also check wether komodo edit is for 64 bit or what.... if yes then i can chuck this file [16:30] Hi all, I seem to have lost the users in the chat room that was displayed on my right hand side any idears? looked through the options can't seen anything. [16:31] ActionParsnip: so i got 10.04 recently.... ;) [16:31] spike1, try in #xchat [16:31] spike1, ctrl+f7 [16:31] guhcampos if you dont have the recovery menu point in your boot manager just booting the kernel with option single should do the trick afaik [16:32] Ok thanks both [16:32] guhcampos you can edit the kernel boot parameters from grub by pressing "e" [16:32] I will try now [16:32] lol [16:32] rabbi1: then your OS is 32bit, but your CPU is 64bit. You want 32bit debs [16:32] escott: standard SHR a synology. 1 disk tolerance. So raid is working properly. I want to use two of the disk and extract the files onto to the third disk of the array. [16:32] it's more like the ctrl-alt-backspace :P [16:33] how used 2 desktop on my notebook from ubuntu ? [16:33] how do I disable dragging windows by alt+left click? Where can I find this option? [16:33] ActionParsnip: nop nop..... Linux rabbit 2.6.32-33-generic #71-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 20 17:27:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux [16:33] Yes that worked perfect, thanks a million :) [16:33] any one have ide ? [16:33] Melior, rather than yanking disks from the box and dealing with reassembling the raid array why not ssh into the synology, identifying the bad drive, removing it and adding the new drive [16:34] soidexe, F2 and ccsm, then go to move windows [16:34] soidexe, Alt+F2, sorry [16:34] rabbi1: then try and get 64bit version of the packages [16:34] escott: i was told to recreate because there were some file system error messages. Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode 7: 2655264 7963680 11240480 20481056 23888928 71664672 78677024Illegal block number passed to ext2fs_test_block_bitmap #1285786350 for multiply claimed block map [16:34] ActionParsnip: yeah, meantime i am searching.... [16:34] stealz: Ill try to install compizconfig-settings-manager [16:35] soidexe, yes, do that if you dont have it yet [16:35] ldr, hmmm booting in single will give me a root shell, right htat's enough [16:35] could someone help me troubleshoot? I can boot perfectly fine if I choose recovery mode and then resume normal boot, but if I actually use the normal grub entry it stalls at a black screen after the boot splash. [16:35] stealz: how can I apply the setting? [16:36] I tried removing "quiet splash" from the grub entry but then it just gets stuck at a text screen instead [16:36] how i can used 2 desktop with my notebook and monitor [16:36] soidexe, just press back, it will be applied automatically [16:36] Melior, ok don't see how recreating will help with that, other than that you will have the disks unmounted so you can do a proper fsck. but you will still want to get a file /etc/mdadm.conf off those drives, so that you can reference it when you try to reassemble. otherwise i think the command you had above was correct [16:36] my vlc player is unable to play .avi file . what i will do ? [16:36] stealz: no, it's not applied [16:36] maulana, try a KVM switch [16:37] soidexe, you want to clear it or change it? if you want to clear, press on the pencil, and remove the text [16:37] escott: Well, that's just what i'm told. I plan to test the drives with proper tools as well. But first i need the make the backup :) [16:37] Melior, http://www.excaliburtech.net/archives/19 [16:37] soidexe, if that is not working either, try restarting the x-server by pressint ctrl+alt+backspace [16:37] maulana: I use synergy to control my laptop from my desktop keyboard/mouse, it allows you to share clipboard, mouse and keyboard across multiple machines [16:37] soidexe, that will close all windows though and you need to login again [16:37] anyone knows how to make wine to detect microphone [16:38] ambarish: Nothing. You probably don't have proper AVI file. [16:38] stealz: too many open windows I have :( [16:38] ActionParsnip: yeah, i got 64 bit one..... will check out, it's on the way to my system..... :) brb - dinner time [16:38] soidexe, try setting it to another key instead of deleting [16:39] ambarish : install ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:39] soidexe, for me the setting is applied instantly, I dont even have to press back [16:39] stealz: yes, that works! [16:39] stealz: thanks [16:39] soidexe, deleting also worked for me, jus ttried it [16:39] soidexe, glad I could help [16:40] stealz, ubuntu is nozap by default [16:40] stealz: hmmm. I needed it for Mathematica program to get alt+click worked. but it still doesn't work... [16:40] escott, sorry? [16:41] stealz, ctrl-alt-backspace doesnt do anything [16:41] escott: thanks added to favorit. Is there anything i should be aware before remove 1 disk from array and formating it? [16:41] escott, ah yeah, I forgot [16:41] stealz, service gdm restart will kill the server [16:41] soidexe, not sure how I can help there [16:42] hey, Im having trouble getting sound to work. I have to soundcards on my computer, one on the motherboard and one in a pci e slot [16:42] escott, thanks, Ill keep that in mind for future reference [16:42] Melior, what exactly is your plan. [16:42] ive looked at about every tutorial and nothing works [16:42] stealz: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace for killing X has been deprecated. [16:43] yeah baby [16:43] lol too many windows [16:43] soidexe, do you have anything else bound to alt+mouse1 maybe? [16:44] soidexe, check panel: (system/) preferences/keyboard shortcuts [16:44] stealz: I don't think so cause I changed it from moving windows [16:45] escott: raid5 -> 3 disks. remove 1 diskA, format it. Backup data from the broken array(diskB+C) onto diskA. Format diskB+C and build raid1. Copy data from diskA onto diskB+C again. Expand array onto diskA to gain raid5 back [16:45] stealz: I'll try to go around the program [16:45] Is there a metacity equivalent for unity? I like the look of the unity desktop environment, but want the speed and efficiency of metacity.. [16:45] soidexe, sorry, thats all I can think off right now [16:46] Melior, the thing i would worry about is... why did diskA fail? i'd want to know the answer to that first before making it my only copy of the data [16:46] stealz: okay, thank you for that [16:46] soidexe, you're welcome [16:46] jessicajames: unity-2d uses metacity [16:46] Melior, i would ssh into synology and see if it has smartctl (part of smart-mon-tools) and see if the disk is reporting hardware issues [16:46] escott: None of the disks are failed yet. I'm just told "However because of the file system error messages and to avoid any issues in the future, I would highly recommend to backup all data from the volume immediately. Afterward remove and recreate the volume again. I apologize for the inconvenience. [16:46] " [16:47] is that a package I can install, trism ? [16:47] jessicajames: yes [16:47] Melior, so some automated synology process is telling you to do this [16:47] !info unity-2d | jessicajames [16:47] jessicajames: unity-2d (source: unity-2d): Unity interface for non-accelerated graphics cards. In component main, is optional. Version 3.8.4.1-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 7 kB, installed size 124 kB [16:47] is there anyway to check the downloaded iso ubuntu file is not corrupted ? [16:47] usermanager: md5sum === jonathan_ is now known as Guest96590 [16:47] Melior, i think they mean back it up to something other than the synology and then remove and add diskA [16:47] thank you trism :) [16:48] theadmin how to do it ? [16:48] usermanager: download the MD5SUMS file, put that in the same directory as the ISO, then run 'md5sum -c MD5SUMS' [16:48] is there a kernel command-line option to tell the system not to start X? [16:48] DeltaWhy: "text" [16:48] (adjust filename accordingly, if necessary) [16:49] Melior, I dont see a compelling reason to remove the disks from the case unless the synology doesn't include smartctl [16:49] ok thanks [16:50] escott: smartctl is just something that read SMART? [16:50] Melior, yes [16:50] nope, that doesn't fix it [16:51] weird, though, there's some missing letters on this boot message screen [16:51] escott: Actually there were something that troubled me. Hang on will have to fire up the nas again. [16:51] DeltaWhy, what are you trying to do? [16:51] "Start ng System V runlevel compatibility" [16:52] trying to figure out why my system won't boot in normal mode but works fine in recovery mode [16:52] <[THC]AcidRain> Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [16:52] <[THC]AcidRain> why do i get this message? [16:52] oh, thats probably to advanced for me, sorry =) [16:52] [THC]AcidRain: Apache? It's normal, don't bother [16:52] DeltaWhy, or maybe... did you just recently install gfx drivers? [16:53] Melior, the problem with the process you suggested is that it leaves all your data on one disk while you format the other two (in addition don't you need to make the other two into raid0 before adding a parity to make raid5) [16:53] <[THC]AcidRain> theadmin, well i know its normal because its happening on servers i have been running for yrs. but why? [16:53] no, I tried to add a swap partition yesterday and since then it won't boot [16:53] ActionParsnip: Hi, I think the installation procedure will be same ...... [16:53] DeltaWhy, ok thats not my special field =) [16:54] BBL ...shaggy lawn needs a haircut [16:54] rabbi1: should be yes [16:54] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the support dude..... [16:54] [THC]AcidRain: check your hosts file [16:54] escott: you make a broken raid5 array, then add disk 2 and disk 3 to it, it should build the array with whatever you have on disk 1 that way. [16:54] escott: And is that a problem? The diskA is just a normal disk. Nothing to do with the array any more. [16:54] rabbi1: pleasure as always :) [16:55] [THC]AcidRain: the server name should resolve to 127.0.1.1 === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [16:55] DeltaWhy, adding a swap partition should only have added one line to fstab. remove that line to verify that it is the swap causing the boot failure [16:55] DeltaWhy, I added swap after install using a file instead of a partition, I'll get you the guide, maybe that can help you [16:55] it actually didn't add anything to fstab [16:55] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm let me check that host file [16:56] I tried adding the line myself but it didn't help [16:56] Melior, that brings us back to the question of "why is the array reporting problems" if disk A has bad sectors you just trusted your entire data to a disk that is going down the drain. if you think it important enough to have raid5 i would be careful to do anything that reduces your recovery options [16:56] [THC]AcidRain: if you read the hostname file it will tell you your hostname [16:56] DeltaWhy, I used this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20do%20I%20add%20more%20swap? to add swap to ubuntu via a file, not with a new partition, worked fine for me [16:57] well at this point I've already broken the system [16:57] <[THC]AcidRain> acidrain-GA-MA78GM-S2H would this be considered my hostname? [16:57] not sure if deleting the swap part and resizing the main back to its original size would fix anything [16:57] [THC]AcidRain: if you run: hostname it will tell you [16:57] but maybe worth a try [16:57] <[THC]AcidRain> ActionParsnip, yes that is correct [16:57] DeltaWhy, I take you did change the partition table of the system to add room for a swap partition? [16:57] Can this method http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8838837&postcount=14 be applied when creating LiveUsb (even fro pesistent mode)? [16:58] escott: i trust diskA because it is a new disk, i ran samsung hdtools extended test - OK. Serval bad bloks test - OK. [16:58] [THC]AcidRain: If the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file doesn't contain a line of: ServerName then it tries to determine what to use and falls back to using 127.0.1.1 [16:58] DeltaWhy, the resize is not likely to be the problem if you resized using gparted and it was a normal partition type like ext4 [16:58] <[THC]AcidRain> the first line of hosts file is localhost. should i move my hostname up one line? [16:58] I used parted magic to resize and create a new partition [16:58] now is official, ACME joinned the Mono project [16:58] my original was a single ext4 logical partition [16:58] DeltaWhy: what kind of errors do you get when you boot the kernel with no options? 'e' at the grub menu and remove quiet/splash from the boot line? [16:59] the only "fail" I see has something to do with error logging [16:59] <[THC]AcidRain> genii-around, so the "servername" should be my ip? [16:59] <[THC]AcidRain> shit, i mean my hostname [16:59] which logs can I look at to see what might be happening? I didn't see anything in dmesg.0 [17:00] DeltaWhy: /var/log/system and /var/log/messages prolly [17:00] Melior, ok. its your data. if it were my data I would (a) run smartctl on all disks (b) look at mdadm status and if I thought that some random bump caused disk 1 to be kicked from the SATA bus I would then (b.1.) check that the cables are tight (b.2) mdadm --remove and mdadm --add disk 1. if (b) is not what happened I would keep looking until I knew what was going on === Mud is now known as Guest74671 [17:00] [THC]AcidRain: Thats the simplest way, yes. But then you should have it set statically either by your networking setup, or semi-statically by same IP to MAC in a router [17:00] DeltaWhy: /var/log/syslog even [17:00] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm... now that i added "ServerName 127.0.0.1" to httpd.conf in apache2, i get error [17:01] <[THC]AcidRain> php5_module already loaded [17:01] I don't have system or messages [17:01] I do have syslog [17:01] [THC]AcidRain: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf not httpd.conf [17:01] Where to find syslinux.cfg file in this context - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8838837&postcount=14 ? [17:01] DeltaWhy: you are on ubuntu? [17:02] yeah but I had to boot with "single" [17:02] DeltaWhy: you should have /var/log/messages on a ubuntu box afaik, it's where most of the logs go [17:03] <[THC]AcidRain> i dont even find servername in apache2.conf [17:03] Dulak: /var/log/messages has been disabled by default in ubuntu since 11.04 [17:03] where can I find support for LLVM/clang? [17:03] trism: was it replaced by something else or is there just no log? [17:03] trism: sweet, what file gets the logs that used to go there? [17:03] Do you have book recommendations for using ubuntu or ubuntu server or both? Most comprehensive possible. [17:04] nearly everything that would have been in /var/log/messages should be in either /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/syslog (I don't know if anything is missing, although syslog is *.* so it should catch everything else now) [17:04] !manual [17:04] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

I edited xorg.conf to add metamodes where one of the two monitors is set to NULL, but I cannot switch to the metamode with both monitors on using ctrl+alt+Num+/-, only the ones that have NULL in it. However when I log in it uses the mode with both monitors working. How do I get it to cycle thorugh all metamodes? === AtomSpin is now known as CeleronSpin [17:05] somebody speak chinese [17:05] trism: thanks for the catch, I am still on lucid [17:06] Olotila, for server there is an online manual, i don't know a free book > https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ [17:06] just english and arabic [17:06] Olotila: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=mozilla-20&index=blended&link_code=qs&field-keywords=O%27Reilly%20Ubuntu&sourceid=Mozilla-search [17:07] Melior, well disk2 is the new disk (based on stop/start and power-on) its also reporting a bad temp [17:07] Ramses_: are you aware of what this channels topic is ? [17:07] escott: yeah.. I thought that was not a problem.. [17:07] Olotila: But http://ubuntu-manual.org/ is best. (More up-to-date) [17:07] sorry [17:08] [THC]AcidRain: It doesn't exist in there by default, you make a line which contains it. Also it is exactly: ServerName and not:servername [17:08] escott: I have 14 days full return still.. [17:08] Anyone can set up a microphone on rosseta stone 3 [17:09] 2100 UTC eh [17:09] milen8204: I didn't think rosseta strone was available on linux [17:09] Melior, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. the M_Z_E_R is The count of errors found when writing a sector. The higher the value, the worse the disk's mechanical condition is. for something still in rma to have bad numbers in the firmware and a non-zero mechanical error report is troubling [17:09] escott: The temp synology reads is 25*C from it.. [17:10] anyone who can't type, shouldn't be using linux anyways. [17:10] hamnegga: what was the purprose of that comment ? [17:10] hamnegga: this is Ubuntu support, [17:10] Melior, thats the temp sensors, the smart data reflects a recording of that data in the firmware of the device. so it could be firmware has some bad nvram or something [17:10] escott: So what you're saying is I that i should RMA both the drives have multi_zone_error [17:11] how can i update my mozilla firefox ? [17:11] ambarish: from what to what [17:11] ambarish thers a few ways, dl it from firefox, add the firefox ppa or just use apt [17:11] Melior, disk 2 is not as bad as disk 1, but I would RMA disk 2 because its free to do so, and I would look into replacing disk 1. in the end it all depends on your paranoia levels. i had two hitachi deathstars explode in about 2 weeks of each other. so my paranoia is on the higher side [17:11] i want mozilla 5 [17:12] !info firefox [17:12] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla.

[17:12] <[THC]AcidRain> when installing postfix, and it asks for system mail name. is that where i put my hostname? [17:12] <[THC]AcidRain> just double checking [17:12] 10.10 [17:12] ubuntu [17:12] I have installed it but cant detect a microphone [17:12] milen8204: not on the website it's not, there is no linux version [17:13] escott: I still have warrenty on disk 1 as well :) So that means i should copy the data onto disk 3? [17:13] ikonia, there is a wine :D [17:13] milen8204: wine is not linux [17:13] milen8204: wine will complicate a lot of things [17:13] !appdb > milen8204 [17:13] milen8204, please see my private message [17:14] ikonia, yes I know it is linux app [17:14] milen8204: also check out #winehq as a support channel [17:14] milen8204: try not to misslead people, rosettastone is not a linux app - you're trying to use a windows application under wine [17:15] Question how can I let me firewall see traffic thats comming from internal ips assigned to clients by openvpn? [17:15] datruth: see traffic ? could you expand on what you mean [17:15] Melior, disk 3 looks the best of the three. one thing to keep in mind is that failures are much more highly correlated than commonly believed (environmental factors are really important), so I would be making my backups to a disk that has never been in that case [17:15] How do you see what the default action for UFW is currently set to? [17:15] ewww disk rot [17:16] datruth: That is a function of wireshark or some sort of packet sniffing package, [17:16] ikonia: for example my current setup I can see the internal vpn server ip traffic when a client is connecting to different places I'd like to see the clients internal ip's traffic that was assigned by openvpn [17:16] datruth: the vpn will encypt it, you won't see it [17:17] So there is no way around this? [17:17] ikonia, ok ok whatever, thanks for the help [17:17] escott: Kinda hard, then i would have to buy a new one.. Disk2 has there for shortest time still... [17:17] datruth: that's ho a vpn works, it's point to point via encyption [17:17] !wine | milen8204 [17:17] milen8204: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu === Rehan_ is now known as Rehan [17:18] Dulak: found something that looks promising in syslog: http://pastebin.com/0s9iy3YR [17:18] ikonia: so when clients connect the only thing I get to see if the vpn internal gateway ip connecting to different things? [17:18] usr13, thanks for the information [17:18] milen8204: But beware, wine does not work with all windows apps. [17:19] milen8204: NP [17:19] milen8204: Also look into using CrossOver, both apps work with rosetta. [17:19] seems to be happening every other boot - that is, every time I boot normally but not when I boot with "single" [17:19] datruth: pretty much [17:19] KE1HA, I red in wineHQ for rosseta and it works [17:20] KE1HA: Thanks. milen8204 As KE1HA points out, crossoveroffice is an alternative that may pick up on what wine won't do. [17:20] DeltaWhy: this was working? Have you tried an older kernel in your list? [17:20] milen8204: yes, they both work with it. [17:20] whit my version of WIne === jessicajames is now known as jessicajames|awa [17:21] damn so i'd have to assign static ips to clients then add the same ips to the tun interface and use iptables to nat the traffic from the internal client to internal client ip? [17:21] KE1HA: milen8204 I mostly just use wine, it works on lots of MS apps. not all but most and seems to do all I need, so... [17:21] I'm assuming this was coming from the boots that didn't work. I tried the one older kernel I have but it did the same thing [17:21] datruth: ?? for openvpn? [17:21] Dulak: yes [17:21] datruth: you routed or bridged? [17:22] routed [17:22] usr13, I have started up the rosseta stone , but the microphone messed up whit me :D [17:22] milen8204: alsamixer #And see what channels are muted. [17:22] usr13: :-) I try real hard not to use any MS apps, but I must confess, there is one or two Ive not be able to find a Linux/Unix alternative for. [17:22] escott: and i'm pretty paranoid. That is also the reason for recreating the array ;) [17:22] I red in google and didn`t find understandable information [17:23] usr13, thanks i will see [17:23] datruth: then yes you would use say a client config directory to assign ips to the client, but you can just push the route to the internal ip through the vpn interface instead of using nat [17:23] KE1HA: There are very few that I need as well. I know that gamers may need MS Windows for a lot of games, but I'm not a gamer so... [17:23] not a gamer?! [17:23] IRC is the ultimate MMORPG. [17:23] Dulak: my purpose for this is tracking users and the ips they were assign and the traffic associated with that ip [17:24] usr13, I have started almamixer and now :D [17:24] Dulak: i'd like to do this via the firewall but I am only seeing the vpn gateway ip in the fw logs [17:24] datruth: you assign ips, say based on the common name of the cert they connected with, and you push a route to the client that let's it know the internal subnet is behind the vpn [17:25] hey [17:25] usr13, s/pdif is off [17:25] milen8204: On the phone. [17:25] Dulak: would that allow me to track users by assigned up and the traffic assoicated with that ip? [17:26] it is playback device the microphone :D [17:26] the mic is on 100% [17:26] hi guys - got a sound problem after ubuntu 11.04 was installed [17:26] datruth: you'd have to log it at the vpn to track traffic by ip, since to the firewall, all vpn traffic ends at the vpn gateway [17:26] milen8204: Sorry, must go. Have to call on a customer. ttyl [17:26] Dulak: ahh and there is no other way around it? [17:27] hello. i've been having an issue with the clock which i can't solve. i'm on 64-bit ubuntu 11.04. my time is 8 hours behind. i've checked my Location in Time and Date Settings and it's correct. i've installed ntp, but to no effect === whitesquall1 is now known as Whitesquall [17:28] Why did the floodbot ban someone o_O === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [17:28] datruth: no, the vpn uses internal non-routed ips, no real way around it, you track at the vpn to see the traffic on the vpn, or at the firewall to see all of the vpn traffic as a whole. [17:28] bahamas, are you 8 hrs away from GMT/England? [17:28] to additional details. at system startup, the clock in the bar from the login screen shows the correct time. also, when i go to Time and Date Settings, the time displayed there becomes correct [17:28] dr_willis: no, gmt - 5 [17:28] dr_willis: my normal timezone is gmt + 3 [17:29] datruth: it's not horribly difficult to log, and report from the openvpn machine, unless it's embedded maybe [17:29] s/to additional/to give additional/ [17:31] bahamas, it is likely a difference between your bios storing gmt or local [17:32] bahamas, thats what i was thinking also ; bios doing 'local' vs 'gmt' but i would think you would be 8 zones away from gmt then [17:32] escott_: btw, this problem appeared after i installed some updates [17:32] datruth: ave you looked at an app called vpn-monitor-project-7 .. may be of coms use to your needs. === vinces_ is now known as vinces [17:32] I need some advice to get jack sensing working on my HTPC. It's an Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64 box and has an Intel HD Audio (Azalia) with Realtek ALC892 codec. The front panel supports HD audio and jack sensing is working on my secondary Windows 7 installation, too. The front panel works on Linux but plugging in head phones doesn't mute the speakers. [17:33] dr_willis: escott_ so why is the clock displayed in Time and Date settings correct? [17:33] Dulak: hmm, I just changed the partitions back to the original state, and it's still doing the same thing. === EvilPhoenix is now known as TheEvilPhoenix [17:33] DeltaWhy: try an older kernel in your grub list [17:34] KE1HA: nope but thanks I'll check it out [17:34] hello [17:34] bahamas, dr_willis it could be a massively drifting clock then [17:35] escott_: what does that mean and how can i fix it? [17:36] that didn't work either. hmm, I just remembered that the last thing I did before creating the swap was to install gimp-2.7 from source. don't think that's the problem since I put it in /opt/gimp-2.7 but I guess it could be [17:36] bahamas, so its correct after you have ntp correct it? then it goes slowly wrong? or is it always wrong? but right in some places? [17:36] I don't know where to ask but where can I find a gif color palette and convert it to hex? [17:36] bahamas, if your bios clock (which is a piece of quartz like a wristwatch) is drifting then when you power down it starts to gain/lose time. it should be worse if you go away for a weekend and don't use the computer. but when you boot ntp checks online and gets the correct time and adjusts the clock so it looks correct [17:36] engammalsko1, install agave [17:37] Abhijit_: Ok, thanks. gif uses 8bit colors. Right? [17:37] no idea. [17:37] engammalsko1, agave is software for all type of colours [17:37] just try it once [17:37] engammalsko1: 1bit to 24 bit, depending on the gif file [17:37] engammalsko1, it also gives colour value for web and other format [17:37] engammalsko1: up to 256 distinct colours === quiesense is now known as quiescens [17:38] But is a 256 color .gif 8bit? [17:39] Yes that's 8bit [17:39] engammalsko1: the palette can have colours from the full 24bit RGB space but it's limited to 256 colours max. [17:39] Dulak: And a "normal" gif can't be 24bit right? [17:39] I think I understand now. Thanks : ) [17:40] engammalsko1: what is 'normal?' There are 8 bit gifs, there are 16 bit gifs, there are 24 bit gifs. There are even 1 bit gifs, a gif with a palette of a single color. [17:40] escott_: dr_willis the clock is correct. it's just behind by exactly 8 hours [17:41] ah, i didn't read till the end [17:41] Dulak: I know. I just meant. A normal gif can't have more than 256 colors. [17:41] no, GIFs are limited to 256 distinct colours (8bit). There are no 16bit or 24bit gifs. [17:41] Crys: Yes, it's possible. I don't know how. === jtannen1 is now known as jtannenbaum [17:42] Ok I get what you mean now, yes a normal gif has 256 or less colors in the palette [17:42] Crys: http://phil.ipal.org/tc.html [17:42] Dulak: Yeah. At least I undestand now : ) [17:42] engammalsko1: thought we were arguing the range of colors, not the palette size [17:43] hello guys [17:43] escott_: ok, so how can i check if it's the bios and what can i do to fix it? [17:44] hello all [17:44] hi, is there a way to check if a directories contents have changed [17:44] i know you can use inotifywait to see if files have changed, but what if someone adds new files. [17:44] i am trying to connect to my friends computer with ssh, but i am getting no route error [17:44] escott_: btw, i had the option for the time to be set manually, and it didn't drift [17:44] i just have his username and ip address [17:45] i am trying ssh user_name@ip_address [17:45] this should work, correct ?? [17:45] pratz: is he behind a router? [17:45] Dulak: no [17:45] christo_m1: you could use a version control system === Abhijit_ is now known as Abhijit [17:45] bahamas, there are ntp utilities that will report clock drift for you. i dont know if they are in the ntp packages that get installed with the system [17:45] bahamas: i am. [17:45] Dulak: from yesterday i am trying to solve this issue but unable to fix it [17:46] pratz: If your on the same network / subnet, yes, that should work, and assuming he has openssh installed. [17:46] I have a service listening (TCP) on port X. I found it by using nmap -p- -sV -PN localhost, how do it (using bash) find this process and kill it? [17:46] bahamas: i need to push changes to a hub when changes are made to my dev box [17:46] Dulak: also the problem is that he is trying to connect me but even he is getting no route error [17:46] pratz: something is stopping the traffic, usually a firewall or router [17:46] new2net: killall whatever [17:46] new2net: netstat -lpn (as root) [17:46] christo_m1: which one? doing hg st or git status should tell you if something has changed [17:46] new2net: Or, sudo service whatever stop [17:46] bahamas: right, but i have like 100 directories [17:46] should i write a script [17:46] pratz: can you ping the ip? [17:46] KE1HA: we are not on the same network [17:46] to go through all of them all the time? [17:46] id rather do it on an event [17:47] christo_m1: inotify [17:47] Dulak: i am bit week at networking commands in linux, please help me with this [17:47] pratz: then you need to portforward your friends router for SSH to his box, his reouter FW is probably blocking SSH. [17:47] theadmin: I don't know what service it is... I used this: service --status-all | sed 's/\+/RUNNING/g' > x.c && clear && echo SERVICES CURRENTLY UP && fgrep RUN x.c && rm x.c && echo PORTS OPEN AND LISTENING && nmap -p- -sV -PN localhost [17:47] christo_m1: why do you have that many dirs? [17:47] Crys: yes im looking at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/420143/making-git-auto-commit [17:47] any have script vuln SQLI or LFI in natty ? [17:47] bahamas: because we serve sites out of var/www and sometimes clients can add their own content and i want that to be tracked [17:47] so i have to push to my hub [17:47] i see [17:48] theadmin: sorry I couldn't be bothered to use a buffer, but it was a quick little 1 liner of bash [17:48] Dulak: no when i ping i get destination host unreachable [17:48] pratz: what is the ip? [17:48] is anyone pro with inotify [17:48] Dulak: it starts with 113 [17:48] pratz: Also, you need his real IP address, not the IP that's given out by the router DHCP. [17:48] i basically want to look at all dirs in /var/www, if any of them change, cd into it and then do a commit and push immediately [17:48] KE1HA: yes i have his real ip address [17:48] bahamas, ntpd will calculate (and log) clock drift for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime [17:49] I didn't understand agave... How can I limit the colors to 256? web-safe colors? [17:49] pratz: if you can't ping it, you probably can't ssh to it. You are not able to connect directly. You both use the same internet provider? [17:49] pratz: Have him check his router, and port forward SSH to his box, but be warned, only leave this open when you need it, SSH ports get hammered buy would be hackers. [17:50] fail2ban can ameliorate that [17:50] Dulak: yes , our service provider is same [17:50] theadmin: root@box~: netstat -lpn ... """ tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32123 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1495/java """ ... Any way to get trace this back to the executable file (jar or .class)? [17:50] you don't need fail2ban, what an absolute waste [17:50] try using hosts.deny [17:51] christo_m1: inotify (also inotifywait) can watch directories as well, try it: mkdir blah; inotifywait -m blah/; touch blah/test.txt; [17:51] pratz: you should get tech support on the phone and troubleshoot the ping issue, if they solve that for you, the ssh thing should work [17:51] new2net: you can try looking through the output from lsof [17:51] dulak: latency doesn't matter for SSH, it's not high bandwidth [17:51] trism: apparently ubuntu uses dnotify im assuming its the same [17:52] christo_m1: ubuntu uses both right now [17:52] envygeeks: he can't get a direct connection between ips, it's a no route issue, from the provider. [17:52] new2net: look at "1495" is the PID, so look at /proc/1495/cmdline, or the output of the ps command [17:52] envygeeks: he's getting ICMP no route from what I can tell [17:52] new2net: yes, you can check /proc/1495/cmdline [17:52] Dulak: KE1HA how can i see if my ssh port is open and is not restricted by firewall, is there something i have to do in iptables ?? [17:53] Hi, is there a way I can mount using sshfs so that any user can use the mount (read and write) [17:53] pratz: you allow port 22 tcp, but you wouldn't get a no route error if the problem was the firewall, unless the firewall was crazy misconfigured [17:54] dulak: uhm, routing issues are problems either with a NAT or port forwarding in that NAT, or with an ISP [17:54] pratz: the no route error means it's the service provider, and since you are both customers, they should be able to fix it. [17:54] Dulak: so, any other option for that ?? [17:54] <[THC]AcidRain> #ubuntu, where are my log files at in ubuntu 11.04 [17:55] [THC]AcidRain: /var/log/* [17:55] envygeeks: Even a DROP would just hang the connection, a REJECT would close it. Getting a no route would be upstream from the firewall, unless it's spitting out a no route when it should be a DROP/REJECT [17:56] Dulak: negative, drops don't always close a connection.... [17:56] REJECT closes, DROP just ignores, and could hang the connection [17:56] envygeeks: are you using any kind of private address like 192.168. or 10.20. ? [17:56] peronallay, I've not ran into a no route issue that the ISP caused, but certainly worth contacting them to see for sure. [17:56] Crys: I don't have any problems... this is a debate about somebody elses problem [17:57] ah [17:57] sry [17:57] Pici: What is going on with those 2 anyway? [17:58] Anyone know of any good guides for rebuilding a kernal? [17:58] all of a sudden i am unable to change my cursor in Themes manager [17:58] technically [17:58] theadmin: ITs not them, its the floodbot being weird. [17:58] bholzinger: best guide is don't do it unless you know how to [17:58] !kernel | bholzinger [17:58] bholzinger: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [17:59] Dulak: i think we do not have a static ip address [17:59] Dulak: i am not sure but that might be the problem i guess [17:59] the default reject won't be significantly better [17:59] envygeeks: have to learn somewhere. thanks. [17:59] escott_: sorry, where on that page does it tell me to do that? [17:59] Abhijit: Thank you [17:59] pratz: sri missed your quesiton earlier, To test that the FW is not ninterferring somehow, you can temporarily deisable it, sudo ufw disable .. then try to connect again, [17:59] pratz: no, that should never be a problem, unless you are on one of those new American and Euro ISPs that are doing carrier grade NATs :S [18:00] I need some advice to get jack sensing working on my HTPC. It's an Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64 box and has an Intel HD Audio (Azalia) with Realtek ALC892 codec. The front panel supports HD audio and jack sensing is working on my secondary Windows 7 installation, too. The front panel works on Linux but plugging in head phones doesn't mute the speakers. [18:00] envygeeks: then why can not i even ping the ip address ?? === jessicajames|awa is now known as jessicajames [18:00] bholzinger: to be honest, Ubuntu is a horrible distro to learn about the Kernel on, it's highly configured and customised compared to other distros like Debian and Fedora, thats because you cost plain for easy to use (which is a good thing in this case) [18:01] pratz: the problem is probably a misconfiguration on a router somewhere at your ISP, it's a classic routing hole imo, 2 subnets on the same network should be able to ping each other, unless the ISP blocks it. [18:01] pratz: most non-commercial routers drop ping requests now especially Linksys by Cisco [18:01] pratz: also if you have UFW enabled at default it will drop everything including pings and requests from the router [18:01] Dulak: envygeeks but what should i do now ?? [18:02] +1 on the drop ping requests, that's a good things actually :-) [18:02] Audio doesn't play sound, may be not recognising the hardware .... 10.04 64bit [18:02] envygeeks: I got that much. I am not rushing and not burdened with consequences if I screw up, so i am learning to run before I can crawl. [18:03] bahamas, it shows a couple ways to install ntpd (command line sudo apt-get install ntp) or through the time and date settings dialog. once you install ntpd it should log messages to /var/log. if not i think ntpd -q will report the drift [18:03] envygeeks: sorry but what is this envygeeks UFW [18:03] pratz: if you don't know what UFW is then it's not enabled since Ubuntu does not turn it on by default [18:03] envygeeks: Dulak KE1HA but i can ssh to one of my companies account [18:03] quiescens: What does stat() mean; not my first time getting this "can't stat" error. """lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/new2net/.gvfs""" [18:03] through ssh [18:04] envygeeks: okay this isnt working [18:04] pratz: 1st, check with your ISP and make sure they've nto blocked ssh, then check the firewall settings on your friends router and ensure ssh port-fw is enabled to his box. [18:04] i need to monitor directories [18:04] im looking at incron [18:04] cant even set it up lol [18:04] pratz: If you can ssh out, the issues is not on your box, so that leaves only the ISP and your friends setup. [18:04] KE1HA: who to do ssh prot forwarding ?? [18:04] I just installed ubuntu on a laptop and during installation I chose to have the home directory encrypted. Is there a way to drop the encryption or should I reinstall ubuntu? [18:05] pratz: Your friend will need to do this on his home router. [18:05] escott_: ntpd -q didn't return anything and there's nothing in /var/log/ntpstats [18:06] anyone know if the nvidia-current-dev will enable cuda? [18:06] pratz: The port fwd, will be from the router IP address to the IP address of the box being connected too. Consult his user manual on how to do this. [18:06] !info nvidia-current-dev [18:06] pratz: But first, check with your ISP and ensure subnet ssh is allowed. [18:06] love4linux: what's wrong with having it encrypted? [18:06] nvidia-current-dev (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver development files. In component restricted, is optional. Version 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 172 kB, installed size 1004 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [18:08] Can someone help me figure out how to watch /var/www and if something in any of those directories is created, do a commit and push [18:08] it gives me a kind of error at boot but then it boots okay... and probably it slows down the boot process since it has to perform the encryption/decryption process [18:08] love4linux: i see [18:08] christo_m1: tripwire may be an option [18:09] pratz: And again, when your done working on his box, I'd highly recommend you close the SSH port forward on his router if it's no longer needed. [18:09] bahamas, sorry thats the wrong parameter i havent used ntpd in a long time. ntpd -g maybe or look at the /var/lib/ntp/drift file [18:09] Can anyone give me any suggestions for netbooks with good linux support? === dsafds is now known as thessssx [18:09] bahamas do you know if there is a way to remove the encryption? or should I reinstall? [18:10] wreckluse: Hm, well, I used to have a Samsung N150 Plus and it worked quite well [18:10] KE1HA: hey my friend is online now and even he can conenct with the companies account with ssh [18:10] !ecryptfs | love4linux [18:10] wreckluse: I use the acer aspire d250 with lucid and it works perfectly, everything worked out of the box [18:10] wreckluse: ttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks it's always good to look over this as well. [18:10] love4linux: sorry, i don't. i asked because i was considering using the encryption when i installed ubuntu, and i was curious now what's wrong with it [18:10] KE1HA: now that we both can connect to ssh with companies account , but not each other [18:10] Thanks fellas [18:10] !ecryptfs [18:10] love4linux, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [18:10] how do I check the temp for my graphics card? Sensors does not show this info (I ran sensors-detect first)? [18:11] !hcl | wreckluse [18:11] wreckluse: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [18:11] bahamas : ) no worries [18:11] KE1HA: any idea dude [18:11] wreckluse: i like the Asus EeePC and i think it's one of the best supported [18:11] pratz: Just becasue he can outbound SSH, does not mean the router accepts inbound ssh nor does does it route it properly. You muct port-fw to the appropriate machine. [18:11] love4linux, it basically involves creating a new /home/new_home copying everything but the .Private folder over to that new_home, and then removing the old home and renaming the new home to home [18:12] Yeah, was looking at the eeepc as well [18:12] wreckluse: i got a Asus EeePC 1008HA and i have never had any problem [18:12] wreckluse: I tried to install Ubuntu on a eeepc a while ago with no success, not enough disk space [18:12] KE1HA: now he is trying to ssh me and he is getting the same error, no route [18:12] escott_ yep I am reading it now.. will see how it goes...thank you [18:13] KE1HA: how should i port-fw now ?? [18:13] pratz: Like we said, first, check with your ISP and see if they allow subnet SSH, then port-forward your frineds router. [18:13] wreckluse: Could have just been a bad eeepc :D [18:13] Noter theadmin [18:13] I have ubuntu on an eee pc 1201N works great [18:13] wreckluse: but watch out for the AMD/ATI based i hear they are not well supported [18:13] pratz: You need to read you routers manual for instruction on port forwarding. [18:13] escott_: the value in ntp.drift is 5.538 [18:14] wreckluse: I picked the acer over the asus eee because of the keyboard. If you want to get serious work done on it, pay attention to the keyboard, some of the netbooks have horrid keyboards, including the asus models. [18:14] I've got to get something other than my droid for irc. This stinks. :/ [18:14] Thanks dulak [18:14] lol [18:15] Dulak: really i would never choose Acer, poorer specs and overall not good looking and i have never any issues with my Asus === david06 is now known as pishposh === TheStig is now known as Guest96418 === Guest96418 is now known as A_J [18:16] Hello everyone [18:16] Saw this dell duo touchscreen netbook on sale but figured it would be a pain to get ti working under linux === 64MAA3BAA is now known as harshada [18:17] bahamas, evidently that is in PPM so only a half-second a day [18:17] I have an Issue, When I use vlc, after keeping the pc on for a while, whenever i try to play the video does not show only the audio shows. It get's fixed by a reboot [18:18] escott_: so what does that mean? [18:18] wreckluse: I have a little HP, can't remember the model, but everythign workign out of the box both 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 so been happy with that. [18:18] wreckluse: there are Android based netbooks/touchpads also.. check out the Asus EeePad transformer.. love it! ;) [18:18] bahamas, so if that is accurate your problem would seem to be a bad timezone setting [18:18] bahamas, are you dual booting? [18:18] i created a customized live cd but when i do toram boot, it does not load the customized part [18:18] how can i solve this? [18:18] epzil0n: you got one? [18:18] oh hai ActionParsnip [18:18] hey all: is there a file-roller (gui) preference I'm missing to skip locked/permission-denied folders when creating a new archive? [18:18] A_J: howdy [18:19] ActionParsnip: transformer? [18:19] epzil0n: yeah [18:19] ActionParsnip, I have an Issue, When I use vlc, after keeping the pc on for a while, whenever i try to play the video does not show only the audio shows. It get's fixed by a reboot [18:19] ActionParsnip: no but i'm seriously thinking about buying one [18:19] epzil0n: same, looks killer [18:19] transformer rocks [18:19] ActionParsnip: mhm, tell me about it =) [18:19] a_j: same in all players? [18:19] no only vlc ActionParsnip [18:20] a_j: happens as all users? [18:20] does anyone know of any good active android development channels? Doesn't necessarily have to be on free node. [18:20] umm, i have only one user ActionParsnip [18:20] a_j: thought to make another..... [18:20] join #express [18:20] pishposh: #android [18:20] ActionParsnip, how would that help. [18:21] it happenes after a while only [18:21] Hi. We've got an interesting problem in my flat. There are two Ubuntu computers (A and B) and an iMac (iC). When A is off, iC can't see the shares on B. When A is on, iC *can* see Bs shares, without any further user interaction. What happened here and how can we fix it?. [18:21] on freenode andriod and android-dev [18:21] a_j: if it works then its the settings of youor current user, if it's the same then it's not the settings but the application [18:21] escott_: nope. i only have ubuntu installed [18:21] thank you ActionParsnip [18:21] pishposh: np [18:22] ActionParsnip, how can i re-install the application. I think the module crahses after extended peroid;s [18:22] Baribal: You sure your samba traffic isn't somehow routed trough A? [18:22] escott_: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata gives me the correct timezone [18:22] a_j: sudo apt-get --reinstall install vlc === Chat4865 is now known as alienated [18:22] a_j: what version of vlc is it? [18:23] the latest ActionParsnip [18:23] 1 [18:23] theadmin, no, I'm not, and I have no idea how to test for it or how to change it. My samba-specific knowledge is rather small. [18:23] 1.1.9 ActionParsnip [18:23] bahamas, did you run tzselect without running dpkg-reconfigure? [18:24] a_j: try and find a ppa for 1.1.10 or 1.1.11 [18:24] Baribal, the servers negociate to see who wins so maybe different samba servers are running the show. There are samba ways to make one server the boss or else make the server configs alike [18:24] Unable to listen music. guess driver not installed, how to install it. ? [18:24] escott_: no. should i do that now? [18:24] rabbi1: does sound work in other apps? [18:24] ActionParsnip, on vlc site ? [18:24] Baribal: Mine too [18:25] Baribal, I went to irc #samba and got lots of samba help [18:25] w30, do they negotiate once and then just keep the setting? I'd rather expect that once the primary goes offline, the remaining ones renegotiate. [18:25] k, thanks. [18:25] Hi. I'm trying to pull data from /var/log/auth.log using "tail -n 1000 -f /var/log/auth.log | grep internal-sftp | cat -" but it doesn't work. "tail -n 1000 -f /var/log/auth.log | grep internal-sftp" works though. (The "cat -" will be replaced by more scripting ;-) ) Any ideas to why I can't pipe the output from the grep statement?

[18:27] anon_user, find? [18:27] wangerin: can you grep the log without the tail -f and get what your after? [18:27] ActionParsnip: resolving alsa-project.org ...................... 100% 'alsa-info.sh' saved [18:27] Baribal, I know client folders can exist after the client shuts down but you can't access them [18:27] bahamas, yes. you have to run that dpkg command after tzselect (man tzselect at the bottom Note that tzselect will not actually change the timezone for you. Use [18:27] 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' to achieve this.) [18:27] Yes [18:28] Baribal, I was thinking something that could interface with openoffice so I could apply a bit of formatting [18:28] rabbi1: use the gui, upload to the server. A URL will be generated, what is the URL? [18:28] KE1HA: Yes. No problem.

[18:29] escott_: i solved the problem by replacing the value of the TZ variable in my ~/.profile [18:29] now, the question is why can't this be solved from the settings? [18:30] wangerin: and if the second statement works, what is it not goiving you that your looking for? [18:30] rabbi1: should get you to at least alsa 1.0.23 possibly 1.0.24, either way your alsa is ancient and may explain why the newer driver isn't working with it [18:30] ActionParsnip, : Dependency is not satisfiable: vlc-nox (= 1.1.11-1~lffl~natty~ppa) [18:31] a_J: hmm, what is the output of: lsb_release -c [18:31] natty [18:31] KE1HA: hey dude i just called the isp but they are saying that they can not provide that information [18:31] a_j: can you pastebin the output you see please [18:31] KE1HA: I need to pick out my sftp-users action, so I can get the information into a backend-database. [18:31] <[THC]AcidRain> ok im upgrading from 11.04 to 9.04 [18:32] <[THC]AcidRain> this shit is stupid [18:32] lsb_release -c ActionParsnip [18:32] KE1HA: even i can not ping my dns server [18:32] [THC]AcidRain: Please watch the language in here [18:32] Codename: natty [18:32] Baribal, ok. I think that will get me partway there, just that the structure is complex with subdirectories, and I don't want the upper directories to be part of the list. I guess a bit of manual formatting is in order. I was just hoping that someone had been using a utility that removed some of the heavy lifting [18:32] KE1HA: any hint from that ?? [18:32] ActionParsnip: it's installing all required packages.... [18:32] the question above is for everyone who can answer, and if can do something to fix this for everyone, tell me where to look [18:32] pratz: probably means they have the port closed, which si nto good news fer you Im affraid. [18:32] KE1HA: Therefore I need to pipe the data into more scripts [18:32] A_J: cool, ok pastebin the text you see when you try to upgradevlc [18:32] anon_user, like sed? [18:33] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i completely remove a package? [18:33] i created a customized live cd but when i do toram boot, it does not load the customized part. how can i solve this? [18:33] <[THC]AcidRain> i dont think --purge is working [18:33] ActionParsnip, : upgradevlc [18:33] Baribal, I'm not familiar with sed [18:33] upgradevlc: command not found [18:33] KE1HA: any other way to take remote access than ssh ?? [18:33] find /dir/ | sed '.stringtoberemoved..' > foo.txt [18:33] A_J: sudo apt-get upgrade use a pastebin to give the text [18:34] "grep internal-sftp < /var/log/auth.log | cat -" also works [18:34] wangerin: can you grp the actions to a temp.$$$ then awk the data into your DB like: cat /some-logfile | grep "some-action" | awl '{print$1}' >> temp.$$$ [18:34] nvidia drivers still have issues [18:34] Baribal, ok...yep, just gave it a look, might be quite helpful. thanks [18:35] wangerin: cat /some-logfile | grep "some-action" | awk '{print$1}' >> temp.$$$ [18:35] ActionParsnip, : http://pastebin.com/qhsve5sQ [18:35] bonjour tous le monde [18:35] oh no not chrome [18:35] a_j: ok click yes and upgrade. I thought that was an obvious step for you to do without instruction... [18:35] lol yes [18:36] pratz: not if they have that closed down at the sibnet level. One option is to SSH from an outside source, like a Web-server account or something, that should work as it's on a diffrent network. [18:36] i guess i need to ask some place else [18:36] google be evil i tell ya [18:36] nah i got the perfect flash fix [18:36] wangerin: awk '/some-action/ {print$1}' some-logfile >temp.$$$ [18:36] anon_user, yes, it is. While graphical frontends that solve specific problems are all the rage with todays end users, there is a lot of merit in learning about yesterdays general purpose tools so that you can string them together to solve problems just like this one quickly and easily. Or learn Python. ^^ === Mister is now known as glassey [18:37] a_j: seems vlc is not offered as an upgrade though [18:37] just look up ppa:sevenmachines/flash [18:37] which software has more features and looks (as in lay out) more to the microsoft office, openoffice or libreoffice? [18:37] KE1HA: so can you we use git version control system if that port is block by isp ?? [18:37] yes i saw that ActionParsnip [18:37] hi [18:37] i tried the deb from the website, it shoots the same error ActionParsnip [18:37] what's a good disk i/o performance too for ubuntu? [18:37] to benchmark the performance [18:38] pratz: if it uses an ssh tunnel to transfer and authenticate, no it would not work as you can't establish the ssh tunnel. [18:38] IPBlock seems to kill all the connections after a while and requires it to be restarted to get the internet access back. Any ideas? [18:38] a_j: http://www.linuxnov.com/vlc-1-1-11-released-install-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-and-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ [18:38] SwordManX: http://hardinfo.berlios.de/HomePage [18:38] KE1HA: okkkk, thanks dude [18:39] god i wish nvidia would fix their drivers [18:39] ActionParsnip: last message: Setting up alsa-base (1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2~lucid1) ... Setting up alsa-utils (1.0.24.2-0ubuntu6~lucid.) ... [18:39] yeah i know [18:39] pain in the ass right now [18:39] ActionParsnip: shall i go ahead with step 2 ? [18:39] kk ty ActionParsnip will run it after this update completes [18:39] pratz: But it appears that your ISP os only blocking SSH on the same subnet, so you could SSH in form a Web-server account and do what you can't from your local account, provided your friend port-forwards SSH to his box. [18:39] a_j: did you not find that guide? [18:40] no [18:40] rabbi1: no you now have an upgraded alsa, try some sounds [18:40] never turned up [18:40] a_j: what did you websearch for exactly? [18:40] what did you exactly google ActionParsnip ? [18:40] is Rhythmbox broken in 11.04 64-bit? i can't turn on the minimize to tray plugin without it crashing [18:40] vlc 11.1.1 ppa ubuntu natty [18:40] ActionParsnip: reboot not required ? [18:40] SwordManX, ever use hdparm? [18:41] Baribal, or, learn python and write one of the all-the-rage graphical front ends that strings yesterdays commands together for end users [18:41] Hey, can anyone tell me how to adjust the aspect ratio on my Graphics Tablet? [18:41] a_j: natty vlc 1.1.11 [18:41] ah forgot about hdparm [18:41] kk ty ActionParsnip [18:41] It works fine, but it's 4:3 and my screen is 16:9, so it gets stretched out [18:41] a_j: what did you search for? [18:41] can this be fixed? [18:41] ActionParsnip: Success, Thanks man... It's a kind of a big process..... [18:41] ActionParsnip, : vlc 11.1.1 ppa ubuntu natty [18:41] wg 21 [18:41] rabbi1: if you'd searched, you would have found that guide, did you do ANY searching? [18:42] y [18:42] hi, is there some way to say to catalyst to stop displaying this big 1 when you use ctrl+alt+1 then ctrl+alt+7 or when playing a game with wine ? [18:42] rabbi1: it is THE official sound troubleshooting page. [18:42] anon_user, yes, but that'd be a rather roundabout way to go about it. Learning Python so you can use subprocess for a task that'd rather call for simple string operations... Naaa. [18:42] ActionParsnip: now, the 3 tasks a front of me. have to make komodo edit run, LAMP, and then my external HDD.... :) [18:42] a_j: it's 1.1.11 not 11.1.1 [18:43] damn, [18:43] kk ty ActionParsnip i'll update you how it goes in a few [18:43] ActionParsnip: no, not for sound, coz that was my last task in the list [18:43] rabbi1: well you asked of it so I replied [18:44] ActionParsnip: hah, O owe you man. [18:44] Baribal, In any case, first step: sed. Thank you for the info :) [18:44] sed and awk and grep (regular expressions) are just soooo handy when you deal with text files a lot. [18:44] rabbi1: try websearching, fixes a lot of things [18:44] ActionParsnip: I got external HDD problem, did few searches but none usefull. now thinking of accessing it from smbfs client. it is possible ? [18:45] rabbi1, clarify the exact HD problem perhaps. [18:45] ActionParsnip: o, u don't believe for connecting to internet i spent lot of time. i got a post also in forum.... [18:45] dr_willis: "unable to mount " run chkdsk /f from windows thrice. i ran it like 10 time now. [18:46] Hi guys, I have a video file with a tutorial on it (a friend of mine gave it to me because he couldn't open it). Well, my players play the audio and no video. I know that it is encoded into indeo 4.1 and it is not supported nor in windows neither in linux, but is there a way to convert it or play? [18:46] Fl-19.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 800 x 600, 3.00 fps, video: Indeo 4.1, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz) [18:47] rabbi1, it maybe your hd is failing if windows is unable to check it/fix it properly. depending on the maker of the USBHD. there may be some extra tools at their web site for windows to do a more detailed 'fix/repair' [18:47] Hola [18:47] rabbi1, you can always try to make ntfs-3g force mount it.. but i would be wary of sich things.. and be making backups of the data on that HD real sooln.

[18:48] preferably in PM so its easier to follow :) [18:48] dr_willis: that's an external hard disk, and it contains backup files......... [18:48] DeadmanIncJS: dude its so easy [18:48] DeadmanIncJS: What's the problem? Ubuntu should detect it automatically [18:48] i don't understand the partition crap :p [18:48] DeadmanIncJS: just put the ubuntu cd in your computer and it does the rest [18:48] rabbi1, i got backups of my backups. :) [18:48] DeadmanIncJS: ...Oh. [18:48] i want to keep Win7 [18:48] Ok thanks xD [18:48] otherwise , yeah i can install it no problem [18:48] DeadmanIncJS: it will === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [18:49] is there a way to install ubuntu with gui using 64mb of ram [18:49] DeadmanIncJS: just put the cd in and say install Ubuntu side by side with Windows [18:49] coco: Nope. [18:49] I came to ask something but forgot what it was, lol [18:49] DeadmanIncJS, you need to tell us/check how your windows setup is currently partitiooned.. Ive seen new machines come with 4 primary partitions by default.. which makes installing linux a bit of a pain. You HAVE made a cd/dvd/ restore disk set for your windows box right? [18:49] coco: maybe with another smaller shell but i doubt it [18:49] dr_willis: :) you are advising to take backup of backedup files..... and my back is burning on seagate name.... [18:49] dr_wilis, yes i am using the live cd of 10.10 now (64 bit) [18:50] rabbi1, i found 3TB usb HD's on sale for under $100 the other day. :) used it to make a extra backup of my main backups [18:50] rabbi1, segate has some seatools program that can do detailed scans/repairs of USB hds' I tend to use seagate when i find them on sale. :) [18:51] dr_willis: :) [18:51] Gotta love it when a company replaces a hd that fails at the very end of the warrenty program with a bigger hd. [18:51] seagate did that twice for me. So i tend to buy seagate if the price differance is not too great. [18:51] It's all about Gross Margin :-) [18:52] 'Redundant Stack of External USB Hard Drives' [18:52] ActionParsnip: now installing komodo 64 . head crossed.... [18:53] bbl [18:54] msg nicserv register pawielski mrsafety3@aol.com [18:54] i would contend that that's not really a great reason [18:54] whoops :-) [18:54] where can i find ~/ .komodo directory (what's that ~/ . mean) [18:55] coco: you may want to change that pw now. [18:55] rabbi1: ~ means /home/your-username [18:55] i know [18:55] as compared to, say, the company not having replaced any of your hdd's because they didn't fail in the first place [18:55] never displaying that big one would do too... [18:55] genii-around: Delete the directory that Komodo created during installation.If you wish to delete your Komodo preferences, delete the ~/.komodo directory. If you do not delete this directory, subsequent installations of Komodo will use the same preferences. These 2 sentences mean the same.... [18:56] hello. what version of ubuntu would you recommend for servers ? [18:56] coco: .files in *nix are hidden files. You can see them if you hit Ctrl+H in Ubuntu's default file manager. [18:56] ironm: Ubuntu Server, naturally. [18:56] ironm: Preferably the LTS release. [18:56] ok, it is showing 4 partitions i think [18:56] sda1 - sda 4 [18:56] not sure which i partition to split the HD (50/50) [18:56] rabbi1: eg: your username is joebloe. Then ~/.komodo is: /home/joebloe/.komodo [18:56] theadmin, thanks a lot .. what version is that? .. where can I download it? [18:57] ironm: I can give you a torrent right now, sec. [18:57] Greetings Comrades [18:57] ironm: Are you 32-bit or 64-bit? [18:57] I'm trying to do a end-of-life upgrade from jaunty, 'do-release-upgrade' keeps trying to upgrade to upgrade to lucid, is there a way I can force it to upgrade to karmic? [18:57] theadmin, is there no normal download like ftp or http? .. 64bit [18:57] genii-around: i din't find that directory with a . prefixed....

[18:58] genii-around: one small thing, how to get the manual address bar ? [18:58] any partition gurus around? [18:59] rabbi1: You'd want to mess with gconf for that, the option is /apps/nautilus/preferences/always-use-location-entry [19:00] rabbi1: If we're talking about nautilus here [19:00] DeadmanIncJS: probably several, what's the quesiton [19:00] theadmin: it saves lot of time..... [19:00] trying to dual boot Win7 with Ubuntu [19:00] not sure how to partition this though [19:00] it's showing 4 different "sda" [19:00] DeadmanIncJS: Make sure Win7 installed first, then LievCD install, seleect Side-By-Side Installtion. [19:01] rabbi1: Alt+F2, gconf-editor, Enter. Find that option, set the checkmark. [19:01] rabbi1: You should be done [19:01] theadmin: hoping we are in open house without windows and doors [19:01] i don't get an option for side by side installation [19:01] Win7 was on laptop when i bought it [19:01] theadmin: thanks.....!

[19:18] steve^: some home routers allow configuration of the internal DNS server [19:18] zykotick9, with static IPs? [19:18] steve^: or add the IP addresses to /etc/hosts of each server. [19:19] Guest49687: Is there a reason you're compiling wu-ftpd from source? It is in the repositories.

Just do: sudo apt-get install wu-ftpd [19:20] steve^: well, it's not. i need to put that in my .bashrc to make it persistent, right? [19:21] purge8008: Should be a space between databasename and > there, my bad [19:21] bahamas, I've not had much luck making it persistent I'm afraid [19:21] how to backup natty ? [19:21] bahamas, I suggest you google it for more details (I only know it as the sysadmins at work prefer vi mode) [19:22] Crys / zykotick9 - thanks, I'll configure my router [19:22] steve^: ah, there is a vi mode for the terminal as well? i'm more used to vim, but i didn't think there would be a vim mode [19:22] hi [19:22] i just installed docky and when i load an application how to i make auto load in full screen ?

I need 0077 but can't seem to find where nautilus is getting this configuration from. [19:22] any hints? [19:22] i do have a space there [19:23] the dock seems on the bottom seems to occupy the bottom space of loaded apps [19:23] even when i try to maximize loaded apps it wont maximize [19:23] Can someone point me in the right direction.. i have an imap server (courier) and some general mailboxes... when ever i read a message using 1 client, it does not show as read on another client. so for example, i hhave read 30 messages using my desktop.. but when i use my laptop those 30 messages show as unread... is there anyway that what ever happens in the imap mailbox is replicated regardless of what client is used... what ever i see on my desktop, i s [19:24] purge8008: Good, my example didn't have a space though, just in case you copypasted it or something [19:24] Pici === notapuff is now known as puffin [19:25] rudy__: No. I mean you don't need to compile it. Just do: sudo apt-get install wu-ftpd [19:25] ohh [19:25] thanx [19:25] jtjt``: That's just how IMAP works-- When it retrieves the messages, it just copies them into your inbox on that machine. If you read it on one machine and then open the client on the other, after it has been offline for a while, it should show as read. If they both get the messages at the same time, then they will both show as unread, regardless of the other's status.

[19:31] bahamas, default mode should be emacs and "set -o vi" takes you to vi. Have you installed anything that could have changed the settings? [19:31] this is making crazy my laptop. i know there is solution with disabling usb modules, but i need my usb devices. so any other fix? [19:32] hmm [19:32] it worked [19:32] steve^: just some updates, which messed up my clock and apparently not only my clock [19:32] hurray, AMP Package also worked [19:32] purge8008: With the timestamp?

Also, GNOME3 isn't supported yet. [19:39] shrimants, disable GDM [19:39] rabbi1: the first time you run System Settings/Keyboard Input Methods it should ask you if you want to run ibus as startup (and link a file for your locale to ~/.xinputd/) if you have problems though you can add ibus-daemon to Startup Applications [19:39] oh. thats rather meh [19:39] I have 30 GB allocated for ubuntu rest is with Windows.

[19:55] faint545: question... why not use github? [19:55] faint545: git init --bare, then try to pull from it like $> git pull user@mycomp:/path/to/repo [19:55] nmvictor: see for yourself, try it, doesnt work, delete it [19:55] TheEvilPhoenix, Because i'd like it to be private [19:55] faint545: you don't really have to set up a 'server' per se [19:56] i actually just started pavucontrol and that seems to have allowed me to finally change it .. although during the upgrade i had xubuntu-desktop installed and i think it some how broke my setup.. when i click on the sound icon it launches the config center not the sound app and unity apparently never made it in [19:56] faint545: unless it's important to you that you pull from a git:// URL [19:56] how do you configre the stuff shown in the indicator applet for Ubuntu 11.04 [19:56] faint545: ah. and why do you need to use *git* to manage said projects, rather than just setting up SFTP and copying over project files manually [19:56] BenjamiX: So much for a helpful and polite you [19:56] BenjamiX, amplified is at max now can i amplify it more [19:57] BenjamiX: Next time you dont know something, dont let everyone know [19:57] faint545: does that help you? I assumed you already had SSH running but I forgot to make sure [19:57] TheEvilPhoenix, it's easier.. i mean, unlike SFTP i cant make notes and such when i do a commit. git is also less of a hassle to use [19:57] !attitude | nmvictor [19:57] nmvictor: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[20:02] wel under unity is not working [20:03] lauratika, I'm in ubuntu classic [20:03] you can still use it in 11.04 with gnome at login ubuntu classic then the clock applet is there as expected... [20:03] momchil, right click uncheck lock to panel [20:03] guys what's the meaning of aptitude command is not found ? [20:03] how do i get it to work ? [20:03] lauratika, no it isn't [20:03] THen right click again and remove from panel [20:03] go to clock then time and date settings [20:03] JakeR003: that aptitude is not installed [20:04] JakeR003, "sudo apt-get install aptitude" [20:04] ParkerR, its already unloked [20:04] ok thanks [20:04] unlocked** [20:04] select time in other locations [20:04] momchil, then it should have an option saying remove from panel [20:04] and then the info for the country/city you want the time [20:04] lauratika, there is a clock but not the option in the drop down menu to add other world location times [20:04] hey guys, I'm getting errors when mounting a remote share. If I don't use uid=1007,gid=500 (client/fstab) it mounts fine. [20:04] ParkerR, yes, but the indicator is somewhat a "whole" thing and it can only be moved (as a whole) and removed (as a whole) [20:05] if I want to map to a user on the server, using uid=1007,gid=500 in addition to the other options, it fails. [20:05] momchil, isnt that what you were wanting? [20:05] the whole line looks like this: server:/exports/trecord /home/user/trackr/ nfs proto=tcp,hard,intr,uid=1007,gid=500 0 0 [20:05] lauratika, are you in 11.04 and seeing this?

[20:05] guntbert, thanks! [20:06] momchil: no problem :) I hope it helps [20:06] yes under natty gnome classic under the clock [20:06] lauratika, strange I do not have it. [20:07] are you sure you are using gnome? [20:07] lauratika, I thought if I could get the name of that component/applet I could go and install it from synaptic. But can't get the name [20:07] lauratika, lol - yes :D [20:07] guntbert, but this solution is too 'hard core'. Isn't there a way to say what should stay in the indicator (the same as what should stay in the panel) [20:08] livingdaylight i did yesterday a fresh install of OS and it's there as always... what you have in time date and settings? [20:08] momchil: not to my knowledge, but the first part seems rather "soft" anyway [20:09] Added my touch to Ubuntu Classic http://parkerlreed.imgur.com/ubuntu [20:10] thanks guys for the support [20:11] lauratika, I'm going to reboot and see if that helps [20:12] guntbert, well, I'll use it for now (I never used any of those messaging apps), but I'm just wanted to customize it (which seems impossible :)) [20:12] well that wont help [20:12] what you have under clock time and settings?

[20:17] my window system just crashed [20:17] now i cant close windows or minimize or anything [20:17] the windows are still there [20:18] how can i restart them [20:18] lauratika, this is the option that I now see when I click on the panel clock - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/clockik.png/ [20:18] faint545: you'll probably need to pastebin the actual git commands you used to create the repository and what you used to clone [20:19] livingdaylight you have to click on clock [20:19] the other tab [20:19] there time in other locastions [20:19] it's there [20:20] lauratika, I have been using gnome for a long time. What used to be there isn't. the clock option only allows me to set and configure the clock [20:21] OEP, i setup a new user called "git" and i created a new folder called "repo.git" and inside that folder i did a "git --bare init". This was done via SSH to my server. then on my local machine, i did "git remote add origin git@homeserver:repo.git" [20:21] can ytou send a screen shot of clock tab? [20:21] lauratika, no, Can you give me the name so I can fetch it fromsynaptic? [20:21] YO my WINDOW stuff crashed [20:22] how do i restart? [20:22] I'm looking for a utility that will repair the MBR of a drive. I can find lots of them for windows- none for ubuntu natty [20:22] i dont know trhe name it's there under clock and if you have a clock it's there, there is no other applictaion... or perhaps i dont undrestand what you want [20:22] lauratika, I want this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/Beta#World_Clock_Applet [20:23] I am having a problem trying to upload photos to a critique site, I have followed their instructions to the letter and the upload indicator runs and then it drops me out on their page but my photos are not there... This has been going on for days and now they are asking me to try another browser, I am using firefox and have no problems with any other site could someone tell me if there is a better browser than firefox for Ubuntu [20:23] maheanuu: you could try chromium-browser [20:23] goddard, Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login. then do, sudo reboot [20:23] maheanuu: it's in the repositories [20:23] faint545: any way without rebooting? [20:24] h00k thanks I will try [20:24] faint545: you want to do "git clone git@myserver:repo.git" first before you do any "git remote ..." [20:24] lauratika, if I click on clock I get two options. 1) Add an event (which launches Evolution). (2) Time and Date Settings, which when I click on it opens the dialog which I showed you a screenshot of. [20:24] livingdaylight: there are two clocks for the panel in 11.04, that clock is the Clock applet, the one you are editing now is indicator-datetime (which also has an option for time in various locations as lauratika said, but it looks slightly different) [20:24] !mint [20:24] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

Forgot the server :P [20:26] trism, Do you know where this is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/Beta#World_Clock_Applet [20:26] faint545: alternatively you can do "mkdir repo; cd repo; git init; git pull git@..." [20:26] livingdaylight: right click the panel, add to panel, Clock [20:27] faint545: scratch that. do clone hehe [20:27] is it hard to get ubuntu to book like backtrack? [20:27] Hello [20:28] livingdaylight: this is assuming you are using Ubuntu Classic, if you are in Unity, that won't work [20:28] boot a command prompt with my graphics driver [20:28] livingdaylight do notice the applet you are refering is from ubuntu 8 and there has being some ontegration since then, it's under clock as trism said and also another way to access and configure it is on the clock tab at the rigth hand fomr the screen shot you send [20:28] goddard: I think backtrack uses KDE (it's been a while) - and you can probably find most of the wallaper type stuff etc at kde-look.org [20:28] trism, but then I have two clocks? [20:28] are the same clocks [20:28] willwh: thanks but i meant the actually start before you type "start x" [20:28] livingdaylight: you can always uninstall indicator-datetime if you don't want it [20:29] you mean you don't want ubuntu to start x ? [20:29] willwh: right and i want it to load my graphics driver [20:29] willwh: i dont want the gui login screen [20:29] In nautilus, can you make a color appearance of each selection based on a group of sorting type? [20:29] update-rc.d -f gdm remove ? (I think) [20:29] i also dont want the ubuntu logo i wanna see the drivers loading [20:30] that's in your grub entry for ubuntu [20:30] livingdaylight: or you can add Locations to indicator-datetime on the second tab of Time & Date Settings as lauratika has been trying to tell you (which is what I do too) [20:30] can anyone help me out with UEFI booting on a non-Mac?

[20:54] ActionParsnip I have two, an intel one and a radeon one, its switchable graphics, and incase you were gonna ask ive tried blacklisting radeon [20:54] noneabove1182: oh jeez those are painful to get going [20:55] yeats: no, I'm a normal user that has been added to the libvirtd group [20:55] ActionParsnip tell me about it... could barely get it going well on windows, the OS it came with >< but the thing is that sometimes it works and others not :/ ive recovery mode works for the record, but of course then i just have terminal and yea not really everything i want haha [20:55] ActionParsnip: yes, I've changed the ownership, but the action of starting the vm through virsh or virt-manager resets the ownership to root:root [20:56] crass_: try 'sudo -i', then starting a VM [20:56] yeats, ActionParsnip: my hunch is that libvirtd, which is running as root is changing the ownership [20:56] Hmm going back into Windows after this Ubuntu install I get http://i.imgur.com/1CdCA.jpg I have run sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda2 and ran the partition through a check in gparted and both of those didnt report any errors. And when I try to load the Windows 7 install disc it doesnt find the partiton. Ubuntu is able to mount/read/write the partition just fine. Any ideas? [20:56] does grep work on unix...? [20:57] crass_: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; dplg -l | grep -i virt please use a pastebin [20:57] bholzinger: yes [20:57] bholzinger: unix? or linux? [20:57] yeats: Well i know it works on linux, ActionParsnip, thanks. [20:57] <[THC]AcidRain> e [20:57] Um on unix, yes, as it's an orgiginal unix app. [20:57] so this command "ps_-ae_|_grep_sendmail" would work on UNIX? [20:58] yeats: running as root has the same effect [20:58] bholzinger: without the underscores and use spaces, sure [20:58] ActionParsnip: of course. thanks, guys. [20:59] Although I have yet to try safemode. brb If I can get in there I'l run chkdsk [20:59] *I'll [20:59] bholzinger: I suggest you don't use the -a it's the bsd standard, ps -ef will work on Linuxes all over :) [20:59] crass_: hmm - what is the specific error you're getting?

Maybe others can advise [21:02] Hmm same error even with the lowest safe mode [21:02] ParkerR: boot the CD and choose recovery mode there [21:02] yeats: I'm guessing that libvirtd is trying to run kvm as a non-root user, after it has re-owned the image to root [21:02] I did. That is where it didnt find it [21:03] I dont have an Intel SATA controller so I shouldnt need any additional drivers [21:03] ActionParsnip alright thanks anyways [21:03] *And I have an [21:03] yeats, ActionParsnip: should libvirtd be running as root? or libvirtd-qemu?

It says that Flash Player 10 is required. Is this something that has just happened universally? [21:08] crass_: my experience with Linux KVM is only as root - I've not had to deal with the permissions issues you're seeing [21:08] Bookman- i think you need to install flash [21:08] sudokill, but it worked fine yesterday and I believe even this morning. [21:08] crass_: on a server set up by others - so I don't know best practices ;-) [21:08] ParkerR: you could run a repair WIndows install, then reinstate Grub2 using Ubuntu livecd [21:08] Bookman- oh ok. no idea then. unless you used noscript or blocked plugins with chromium [21:08] ParkerR, Could you reiterate your issue? I've only just joined the channel, but I may be of assistance. [21:09] sudokill, yes, I have noscript installed, but I did yesterday as well. I have allowed youtube in noscript.

And when I try to load the Windows 7 install disc it doesnt find the partiton. Ubuntu is able to mount/read/write the partition just fine. Any ideas? [21:11] ParkerR: does the TFS partition show in the output of: sudo fdisk -l [21:11] any idea where this sudden problem with the missing strict.pm originates from? [21:11] *NTFS [21:12] kasi: seems to be in perl-base [21:12] ParkerR, Are you certain that you did not modify or remove the "System Reserved" partition that Windows puts on the disk? [21:12] ActionParsnip, yes it show up. I said I am able to mount and use it in Ubuntu [21:12] kasi: perl-base: /usr/share/perl/5.12.4/strict.pm [21:12] ParkerR: hmm strange [21:12] FrozenFire, all I did was resize it down 10gb [21:12] Bookman, I got that error on some site, not youtube so I downloaded libflashplayer.so for flash 10. no problem same name for the file but diff says different [21:12] ParkerR, Then you likely broke it. [21:13] ParkerR: does it have the right partition type? is it bootable? [21:13] :/ [21:13] ActionParsnip: that file doesn't exist [21:13] ParkerR: you do know Win7 can resize it's own partitions? [21:13] Yeah [21:13] kasi: is that the file you are missing? [21:13] I just did it from the Ubuntu installer [21:13] ParkerR, Windows 7 is extremely sensitive to any modification of its System Reserved partition [21:13] ActionParsnip: that file is not on the drive [21:13] FrozenFire, all I modified was the one partition [21:13] ActionParsnip: how can I force a reinstall of perl? [21:14] ParkerR: I would suggest you do it from Windows. Alternatively you can plan partitions then you don't need to mess with resizing nonsense. [21:14] It has a recovery partition but I havent touched that [21:14] ParkerR, Windows 7 creates two partitions on a disk during install. The first is the System Reserved partition, and the second is the actual install. [21:14] kasi: sure: sudo apt-get --reinstall install perl-base [21:14] Hmm [21:14] If you modify the former, you're likely to break your Windows install completely.

[21:16] ParkerR, ntfsresize is fairly dangerous on Windows system partitions. [21:16] Hmm I have an extra partition n there sda3 [21:16] ooh secret hiding spot? [21:17] Nahh [21:17] sda5 and 6 are the Ubuntu partitions [21:17] ParkerR, The only thing I can suggest is running the Windows System Recovery tool. [21:17] No clue what sda3 is. Ill try mounting [21:17] But beyond that, I think you're hooped. [21:19] FrozenFire, well I can use Ubuntu and mount it. So if I can get some money for an external harddrive I can backup the data I want/need [21:19] kasi: debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Db.pm [21:19] kasi: reinstall kasi [21:19] sorry, debconf [21:20] Damn [21:20] ParkerR: why do you not already have a backup? === hugo is now known as Guest49079 [21:20] As I said I dont have the sorage for a backup [21:20] *storage [21:20] * ActionParsnip facepalms [21:20] No monies [21:21] ActionParsnip: my /lost+found is full with entries. seems that the computer has crashed.

In nautlius i can access it by location smb://rt-n56u/aidisk_a1/backup/2011 but why cant i cd in to it via the terminal? Any suggestions? [21:22] ParkerR: depends how valuable the data is to you. [21:22] Yeah [21:22] Hugo: because bash doesn't support SMB [21:22] Not as much value as just time out into the computer [21:23] *put [21:23] bragr: so i guess i need to mount it to a dir first?

[21:23] hugo___: run: ln -s ~/.gvfs ~/Mounted\ Shares [21:23] Hugo: you could mount that location using smbfs the cd that dir [21:23] you can also use gvfs put the path is kind messy [21:23] kasi: sure, use the !clone how to but you don't have to move the file ;) [21:24] ActionParsnip: do you have a link to "!clone" [21:24] hugo___: creating the link will allow you access via terminal easily [21:24] !clone [21:24] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate === hacked is now known as vinces [21:25] Hm gparted is not showing the boot flag as set on the Win partition [21:26] Should I set that and try?

[21:27] I'm using xclip for some stuff, but now I need it to also copy the selection to the buffer used byt the menu when using copy/paste. Possible? [21:28] ParkerR, Nope. The boot flag should be on the Ubuntu partition, as it holds the boot manager [21:29] Hmm ok. Thinking of all possibilities [21:29] ParkerR: worth a try, it can be undone easily [21:29] ActionParsnip, FrozenFire thanks for the help [21:30] ActionParsnip, yeah it's like what else could go wrong?

[21:41] aaas: additional security [21:41] i would just prefer to have the applications in the dock [21:41] aaas: dont want brute forcing in my server :D [21:41] BenjamiX: by making the attacker think you have ssh running? [21:41] BenjamiX: honeyd === iqpi|CENA is now known as iqpi [21:42] aaas: yes, but its the fake ssh [21:42] hi [21:42] EgyParadox: thx, googl [21:42] EgyParadox: thx, google* [21:42] ActionParsnip of course... I am going through a book regarding iptables and the author has a script that loads modules such as ip_conntrack [21:42] BenjamiX: as far as I know having a port with no services on is the best you can get... if the server has to run anything (even a fake script or something) that is just overhead for the sever, I"m not sure it buys you anything [21:43] BenjamiX: you might as well run that on ALL your ports..why not do it on port 187287 [21:43] aaas: hm, ill try that [21:44] thanks egyparadox and aaas [21:46] Hi every one. [21:46] BenjamiX: unless you want to monitor I'm not sure a honeypot will help you...not sure [21:46] ActionParsnip: well, that makes problem with the dependency cycle [21:46] ActionParsnip: but I'll install them one by one [21:46] http://pastie.textmate.org/private/ebaficllrfl9xx5cjaraq [21:47] anyone know how to fix this [21:47] maybe bad version of lua? [21:47] BenjamiX: a standard port scanning tool will identify SSH on all ports it's running, and an attacker using this method would just work with all ports not running SSH (in fact, they'd probably pay the most attention to the non-22 one) === zz_zz__ng is now known as zz_zz_zz__ng [21:47] i was trying to change my wireless driver, to a B43 for a broadcom 802.11 card. [21:47] so practicly, the best port is 22!? [21:47] xD [21:47] BenjamiX: a standard roaming brute-forcing attack would just give up if there's no response on 22 (assuming it's a Windows machine or whatever) [21:48] oh, ok [21:48] well, using a non-22 port would eliminate roaming brute-force attacks, but you don't need to fake SSH on port 22 to keep that benefit [21:48] then ill just change my port and put a strong password [21:48] BenjamiX: no, practically the best port is whatever you want, but the best method is not to run some extra service on it [21:48] my wifi was worfing fine with the broadcom STA driver [21:48] in fact, if your password is strong, then the only reason to keep out those brute-force attacks is to reduce the machine load from sshd a little. [21:49] and the impact is minimal, just slightly annoying. [21:49] now after the modification the wifi doesn't work with any other driver [21:50] someone can to help me [21:51] How can i to reset my wifi configuration?

[21:52] np BenjamiX can you help me? [21:53] tripelb, ill try [21:53] and does anyone have any idea about my ACPI temperature problem (shuts down due to clearly erroneous reading)?

[21:53] 10.04 something is using all my cycles and top tells me it's nautilus. BenjamiX [21:53] does anyone know where the "root" user php.ini file is in Ubuntu? [21:54] tripelb, well, ya need nautilus [21:54] excelsior, try eject sometimes one works and the other doesnt [21:54] liek the one it uses when running php via command line [21:54] ok [21:54] tripelb, well, it gives you access to everything [21:54] tripelb, i mean, in reading all files and managing them [21:54] php.ini? [21:55] does anyone know what the exclamation mark (!) does in a rule in iptables? [21:55] after clicking eject, safely remove drive worked, then I physically removed it. [21:55] do I need to do that every time to avoid glitching my drive? [21:55] BenjamiX, I killed the window and it released my ram. I've not had that problem before. I'll restart the phone to the computer connection. It's not happening now. Go figure. [21:55] excelsior: usually that would be because some process has a file handle to something on the USB stick [21:55] excelsior: yes [21:55] yes, as I recall apache2 has two php.ini files; one that it uses when running php as "root" user, and another that it uses when running "www-user" [21:56] excelsior: in any OS, that exists [21:56] how do you minimize programs in the terminal?

[21:56] goddard: there is wmctl (or similar) [21:56] ActionParsnip: thanks, I was wondering if I could just pull it out when the light stops blinking like you could with the old 3.5 inch floppy drives. [21:56] tripelb, just to see if the results are the same like with gnome-system-monitor [21:57] love4linux: it depends on the context, but in most cases it's boolean not [21:57] excelsior: as long as you safe eject it and the light stops, you are good to go. It flushes the caches and syncs everything [21:57] ok, so always do both, then? [21:57] my last one bricked, and I think this might be why. [21:58] excelsior: i'd say most likely [22:01] BenjamiX I repeated the exact same thing and Nautilus was fine. One will never know. thanks. [22:02] BenjamiX> tripelb, just to see if the results are the same like with gnome-system-monitor -- I did not understand this. What's gnome-system-monitor?

[22:03] tripelb, lol, yeah, [22:03] tripelb, system, administration, system monitor [22:03] tripelb, but that sucks [22:03] tripelb, goto your terminal, sudo apt-get install gnome, sudo htop and there ya go [22:05] ActionParsnip hey just wanted to mention something about my earlier problem, i did the nomodeset in bootup properly and it actually does make a difference, just curious if that tells you anything (how to help or where to defer me to) [22:06] hi guys... 1 quick ? is it posible to read ufs formatted HHD in ubuntu [22:06] ?

[22:30] i've just installed screenlets - how do i make so when i press like F12 it shows and hides?

[22:40] how can you restart the sound subsystem in 11.04 [22:40] Hi, Is it possible to set a default permission for a usb device? Now, I have to chmod my /dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx always to 777 after reboot. [22:41] daan4711, what sort of device is it? [22:41] dr_willis: HID [22:41] daan4711, a keyboard? mouse? [22:41] dr_willis: No, a RF transmitter [22:42] daan4711, you may have to look in to the udev rules for taht device perhaps.. or it could be a specific group the user needs to belong to to access it fully. [22:42] dr_willis: ok, thanx, I will check it out [22:43] see who/what group owns the device by default [22:43] I dont recall ever accessing anythign via /dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx/ most things make a /dev/XXXXX entry. [22:44] dr_willis: It is root root by default. [22:44] theres not a link to it from /dev/XXXX somewhere daan4711 ? [22:46] dr_willis: maybe, I can see a hidraw0 [22:46] i modified ~/.xmodmap but when i rebooted i hit ok without loading it and had it 'not remind me to do this again', how can i get it to popup again when i reboot? [22:46] But I am not able to send commands to it directly, so the software locates the device automatically. [22:47] It is libusb who gives the error btw [22:47] must be a weird device./ :) You could put the command to fix the permsissions in /etc/rc.local if its always there at boot time I guess.. [22:47] but for doing it on the fly. id think theres some udev rules.. (it is udev now a days? Hal is dead....) [22:47] Or am i still behind the time in device configuration.. [22:48] My videos (using both vlc and totem) do not work anymore after installing graphics card driver. The following does however work: "mplayer -vo x11 movie.flv" does work. How do I make all my video programs use this "x11" option? [22:48] alpha, vlc has a video out option just like mplayer does. [22:48] no idea on totem [22:48] dr_willis: This rc.local file, is this always executed after startup? [22:49] how to stop ubuntu from loading a specific service at ubuntu startup? [22:49] daan4711, yes. last thing after all services are started. [22:49] JakeR003, depends on the service. most are handled by upstart and by /etc/init/whatever.conf files you can rename to be like whatever.DONTRUN or edit the contents to make them not start [22:49] dr_willis: So, I can put a chmod in it directly? Or do I need to do sudo first? [22:49] daan4711, its ran vby the system. no sudo needed. [22:49] its all ran as root. [22:50] daan4711, make sure commands are befor the last exit 0 [22:50] dr_willis: Ok, I´ll give it a try [22:51] JakeR003: also if this is 11.04, you can: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/service_name.override; replacing service_name with the name of the service (such as gdm, network-manager, etc), and you can start the services manually but they won't start on boot automatically [22:51] daan4711, if that hidraw device is owned by someone/group it may be your user needs added to the group. but its hard to tell for sure. [22:51] /nick fred [22:51] lol [22:52] dr_willis, is there a nice way to make this parameter "-V x11" to always be passed when starting VLC? [22:52] so making a /etc/init/gdm.override will stop gdm... [22:52] dr_willis: containing the word 'manual', yes [22:52] i got a 'load xmodmap settings?' pop-up and accidentally pressed escape, how do i get it back to answer "yes"? [22:52] alpha, vlc can save it ssettings... [22:53] dr_willis: Yes, it works! perfect. thanx! [22:56] trism, now the question is.. where did ya find that method at? :) its amazing how poorly documented upstart seems to be for a 'common end user' point of view. === elkeithos is now known as nutcase_ [22:57] how can i import outlook accounts to evolution? [22:58] dr_willis, thanks. one can change video output under gstreamer-properties [22:58] alpha, i dident think vlc used gstreamer. [22:59] dr_willis, no that was for totem. It was just a "FYI" in case you were interested :) [22:59] :) totem tends to annoy me.. Plus i got this really really cool remote control app for my Android to control VLC.. [22:59] :) [22:59] how to stop services in /etc/init.d/ from starting at ubuntu startup ? [22:59] dr_willis: http://upstart.at/2011/03/11/override-files-in-ubuntu-natty/ [23:00] JakeR003, they get started not from /etc/init.d/ but from a link in /etc/rc2.d/ most likely.. remove the link [23:00] ok thanks [23:00] How can I generate an encrypted password to use with useradd for a specific password without updating a current password? [23:01] goddard: here's a simple how too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CiSX3rkl98 [23:01] removing the link is not the right way ... any update to the package and it will come back. [23:01] ok so if the service name in rc2.d is "s25bluetooth" i remove it? delte it ? [23:01] dr_willis [23:01] 11.04 wont install off a cd >?? [23:01] but now that ubuntu is using like 3 different init methods, it's very confusing [23:01] for upstart enabled programs just edit it's conf file in /etc/init [23:02] kellnola you are talking to me? [23:02] there is a GUI for the program i want and i can start it manually [23:02] JakeR003, yes [23:02] but it force to start at ubuntu start up [23:02] and it's breaking me [23:02] JakeR003, if you look at it.. you will see its a link to the actual script.. so yes.. remove the S25bluetooth if you really want to [23:03] Most all the rc#.d stuff are actually being handled by a few upstart scripts.. [23:03] the rc#.d stuff is there for backwards compat. for the most part. and because peopel are so used to it. [23:04] JakeR003, what package is this? [23:04] i see no bluetooth stuff in /etc/init/ [23:04] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2011-07-17 21:20 S25bluetooth -> ../init.d/bluetooth [23:04] the package is in init.d [23:04] not init [23:05] you said the service name is in rc2.d and i found it there [23:05] now how to i delete it in rc2.d ? [23:05] its NOT started from init.d its started from the runlevel 2 scripts whioch are in rc2.d correct. [23:05] sudo rm foo [23:05] why are you even worried about it? [23:05] nothing [23:06] you told me tell me the type of file yesterday & i didnt [23:06] haha [23:06] kind of fun [23:06] when i wanted to edit that file [23:07] * dr_willis thinks the whole channel is confused now.

[23:56] but really my usb 3.0 isn't workin [23:57] no but honestly i read somewhere that 11.10 alpha 3 release had kernel 3.0 [23:57] Troy^, correct [23:57] oh sweet so october then? [23:57] yup [23:58] 13th of october is the project release date [23:58] It's really nothing special, just a new numbering system, and the usualy kernel systematic updates.
