[00:00] GOMI do they both connect to one graphics card or two seperate ones? [00:00] GOMI, dosent boot.. or boots but you just dont see a display? what video card., laptop? desktop? tried sshing in to see what messages are there? [00:00] Trying to increase the resolution of tty sessions. I'm not finding anything useful... Any ideas? [00:00] Tech_Support, one card but difffernt connectors one on vga other on dvi [00:01] messed up my sound, now alsa doesn't even run even after i reinstall it, aplay -l says no soundcards found as well, anyone have any suggestions? [00:01] hi all [00:01] dr_willis, yes boot but no display , its a desktop with nvidia 8500gt card , one connected on vga other with dvi [00:01] mayko: is that usb headset? [00:02] I have a similar problem except mine is where I have four screens on two graphics cards, and no I don't do that crossfire b***s*** [00:02] GOMI, You do have the nvidia drivers installed? [00:02] Gunz4MiPPle: no; it is an audio jack [00:02] dr_willis, yes ubuntu is working fine now for a couple of months , i just wanted to put an extra screen [00:03] booting from CD: I see ubuntu name with 5 dots cycling red to white...it's been doing this for a few minutes. How long is it supposed to take? [00:03] how to fix "Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported"" of nautilus ? i am using ubuntu 10.04. I can see that ~/.local/share/Trash/files exists [00:03] Colby_, not that long [00:03] Colby_, reboot and test again [00:03] coz_: k. thanks [00:03] GOMI, id ssh in, check the x logs. odd that its not even showing grub, or the bios/post display? try toying with the nvidia-xconfig tool and restart the x server to see if you can get it going. [00:03] try disconnecting the screen and then boot ubuntu and then reconnect it while it's running and configure it from there [00:03] GOMI, is this a laptop? [00:03] IDK [00:04] dr willis is getting somewhere [00:04] if laptop - toy with the fn keys to toggle the monitors.. [00:04] seen some default to the wrong one/not configured monitors in the past. [00:04] dr_willis, no a dekstop. but ill check that what you said but do i need to use twinview program or something ? [00:05] GOMI, if you want dual monitors yes twinview is the way to go [00:05] twinview is a nvidia setting.. not a program. nvidia-settings is the X gui tool , nvidia-xconfig is the non-x gui tool.. (go figure that one out) [00:06] dr_willis, sorry for butting in [00:06] coz_: I rebooted and got list of options: I chose "try without installing". Now I have blinking underscore cursor in upper left.

[00:06] coz_, ok [00:06] yes [00:06] without having to go through the connection.... entirely [00:06] GOMI, somthing like --> sudo nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus [00:06] except for the fact that the other graphics card isn't enabled [00:07] then restart the X servers/gdm [00:07] Colby_, ah ok,, mmm... did you check the md5sum for the iso before burning it? [00:07] I want to do something crazy -- don't bother telling me it's crazy, I'd like to get the absolute minimum ubuntu in a zip file; can anyone assist? [00:07] absolute minimum ubuntu - is vague.... [00:07] anyone else have suspend problems [00:07] coz_ I'll DL again and reburn it [00:07] dr_willis, thnx ill check that [00:07] GOMI, if you want to enable twinview dynaimically,, simply open nvidia-settings, X Server Display Configuration [00:08] Colby_, let me get the hashes for you hold on [00:08] half the time suspend works and i get a blinking power light, which is good, and half the time it just turns off the screen, and wont ever return till i hard reboot [00:08] GOMI, in theory - you can attatch a monitor after the system boots. then run the nvidia-settings tool but ive had that not work with some pcs [00:08] Colby_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [00:08] Colby_, there is also the mini iso 19 megs and is net install [00:08] Gunz4MiPPle, what kind of computer do you have, and what version of ubuntu? that's a known issue with several laptops, AFAIK. === pdtpatrick_ is now known as pdtpatrick [00:09] !mini | Colby_ [00:09] Colby_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

I don't mind booting from CD. It's just for testing [00:24] is there an insructions to follow ? [00:24] step by step [00:24] so i dont stuff up [00:24] Colby_, yeah that is the part where you can dual boot. however if you dont want that quit now and re download the live cd and makde sure you check the md5sum for the iso first [00:24] Colby_, i you dont know how to check that , let me know [00:25] Colby_, there should be a free md5sum check for windows if that is the OS you are working on [00:25] coz_ yeah. I think I'll do that. repartitioning the drive sounds more involved than I wanted for a test [00:25] Colby_, actually it does it pretty simply but yeah , if you arent sure stop now [00:25] i think i found it [00:25] coz_ I'll reDL and reburn the disc [00:25] 1 sec [00:25] let me read it [00:25] Colby_, cool [00:26] coz_ thanks for the info [00:26] Colby_, check the md5sum before burning the iso however,, and no problem that's why we are all here ...

A home router will need less than 4Gb easily [00:42] znh: i am looking out for uploading [00:42] ActionParsnip, Its on a 256G SSD also [00:42] the idea is the flash drive will be for the OS, all other files go to the RAID5 [00:42] storrgie: did you install the Ati driver? [00:42] ActionParsnip, flgrx? yes [00:42] kaushal: in that cause any file upload would suite right? [00:42] storrgie: have you tried in the Ubuntu classic session?

[00:45] ActionParsnip, I get ~4000 fps on my M4400 with an nvidia card [00:45] Daghdha, i always run several differnt terminal apps.... :) [00:45] terminator, gnome-shell, xfterm.... [00:45] depends on what im doing in them [00:45] escott yea i no my problem now thanks :) [00:45] i no wat i need to fix it [00:45] storrgie: are there any bugs reported? [00:45] can anyone explain what LVM is in relation to hard drive partition options on install?

[00:46] The_Rufus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_volume_management [00:46] ActionParsnip, radeon? it was better, but was still wonky [00:47] storrgie: ive very little experience with ATi, I always always buy nvidia [00:47] The_Rufus, software managed partitions, usually placed on top of a software raid partition. allows you to resize and clone partitions without modifying underlying raid or partition tables [00:47] The_Rufus, http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-lvm-guide/ [00:47] thats why im guess you go with a openGL [00:47] ActionParsnip, I was hoping to find someone around here who does ATI related stuff, I have also always bought Nvidia [00:47] is there any advantage in using LVM for my os file system? realisticly [00:47] ? [00:47] ActionParsnip, do you know if there is an IRC channel some place? [00:48] The_Rufus, also here http://sinix.org/blog/?p=75 [00:48] anyone play the game Hacker Evolution Duality on ubuntu [00:48] storrgie: maybe others can help, not sure. possibly #xorg [00:48] The_Rufus, if you don't know how big your partitions need to be it gives you flexibility. 1 lvm partition and the volumes inside to your current data usage and then expand as needed [00:48] The_Rufus: It won't make things magically faster. It all depends on your usage [00:48] ActionParsnip, the fedora installer looks pretty good, going to try it out real quick. There is a driver supplied by dell for RHEL [00:49] well, the flash drive will just house the OS, no log files or home files or anything really [00:49] i guess there is no advantage [00:49] storrgie: worth a shot [00:49] The_Rufus, you wouldn't use it on the flash, only the 10TB raid [00:49] escott: thanks [00:49] The_Rufus: I'd suggest ext2 [00:49] +1 for ext2 [00:50] thats why im guess you go with a openGL storrgie, [00:50] ext2? but what about 3 and 4, aren't they better? [00:50] html, whaat? [00:50] anyone play the game Hacker Evolution Duality on ubuntu [00:50] rick_bug, i have not . sorry [00:50] The_Rufus: I'd also recommend you take the server down accasionally and make an image of the server drive, makes resetting up a new server easier (or for when the USB finally gives out) [00:50] Didn't you just ask that =P [00:51] what does it as game? [00:51] @dr_willis - I tried to create the xorg.conf like you said. When I opened the file after reboot, it was blank [00:51] The_Rufus: well they have more features. you can however store more with ext2 because it doesn't have a journal [00:51] WallyJ2K, nvidia? [00:51] brb gana install ubuntu on another usb drive so have it on my other usb [00:51] no, ATI Radeon Mobility U1 [00:51] znh: thanks for the explain :) [00:51] rick_bug: Rather than asking if anyone plays the game why don't you ask your actual support question? (If you don't have a support question, then this is the wrong channel, maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic). [00:51] The_Rufus: ext3 and ext4 have journals which get written to a lot, this wears the USb out faster. I believe there are some tweaks for ext4 to be kinder to flash based storage but no Ext3 and Ext4 are not outright better [00:51] WallyJ2K, ah ok,, [00:52] ok, installing the base system now [00:52] time for coffee [00:52] The_Rufus, everyone is giving you recommendations for the flash, i think most would recommend ext4 for the data partitions [00:52] ActionParsnip: The_Rufus: You can use ext4 without a journal (ext3 is simply ext2 + journaling ).

[00:56] WCwarrior, yes you can open jockey-gtk via terminal by typing jockey-gtk [00:56] escott: is what you're speaking of a patricular pkg within ubuntu? [00:56] WCwarrior, ie proprietary drivers. open a terminal and type jockey-gtk [00:56] owne1: you mean NetworkManager ? [00:57] storrgie, so what are you trying to do? [00:57] Zoidfarb: not sure. can i run it? [00:57] coz: okay...trying now. will you be on for a minute? [00:57] Zoidfarb: from the terminal? [00:57] Zoidfarb: i tried installing wicd but i can't connect to the internet from some reason. [00:58] oh.i'm sorry ,maybe i should ask the question in other way ?how to install source code ?for instance,the suffix tar.gz [00:58] owen1, try logging out wicd can be tempermental. [00:58] how can I shut down X to run a command to resonf?et my xorg.c [00:58] *reset my xorg.conf [00:58] rick_bug: what is the full filename and we can give the command [00:58] urlin2u: what is tempermental? not a native speaker. sorry [00:58] WallyJ2K, service gdm stop; (and then later service gdm start) [00:59] owen1, a problem at first install you want the daemon running. [00:59] WallyJ2K: just rename the xorg.conf file and reboot, it will put the settings back in to udev and will be the same as when you first installed [00:59] urlin2u: i am not following you. what do you want me to try? [01:00] owen1, logout of the desktop then log back in. [01:00] urlin2u: i have internet with gnome. but not with awesome+wicd. logout of gnome and lunch awesome? [01:00] ownen1: I've always had good luck with wicd. If you launch if from the command line, do you get any error messages when you try to connect? [01:00] *owen1 [01:00] owen1, ? [01:01] coz: i don't have the card installed yet and have tried but when i boot up...i have zero picture [01:01] Zoidfarb: i'll try it and come back here. i use wicd-cursor btw [01:01] Zoidfarb, i do , but i use the gui, it kicks me alot [01:02] coz: so i have my old card in. being new to this, i was assuming that i could install the driver then switch the cards. [01:02] WCwarrior, that would make it harder for you. i would boot to terminal and then use jockey-text [01:03] WCwarrior, well as I said I dont know much about ati,, however,, because of that I dont know if one driver is good for a different card,, i believe some cards require fglrx and other the open source [01:03] WCwarrior: what video card? [01:03] escott: please educate me on this process to do so cause when i have the card in and boot, i don't get a boot screen...just a black screen. [01:04] WCwarrior: tried the boot option: nomodeset [01:04] owen1, html: using the GUI is fine/the correct way to use WICD, I just meant starting it from a terminal for debugging purposes--you might see errors in the terminal [01:04] ActionParsnip: it's ATI Radeon HD 3650 [01:04] Canal for spain please.

[01:04] WCwarrior, if you are going from an older ati to a newer ati its possible that there is an old config laying around. you might uninstall fglrx and go back to radeonhd and then switch to the newer card [01:05] rick_bug: what is the filename? [01:05] Hacker Evolution Duality [01:05] WCwarrior, the xswat ppa probably will work. [01:05] escott: trying to comprehend...again, i'm new to linux/ ubuntu 11.04 [01:05] there is a game [01:06] escott: how do i go about of uninstalling fglrx? [01:06] WCwarrior, we need a bit more info about the specifics. (a) what card do you currently have in there (b) did you install proprietary drivers for that card (c) what do you see on boot with the new card [01:06] escott: i'm sure that was a very dumb question...but again, learning here. [01:07] escott: give me a sec and i'll provide the details. [01:07] hahaha 30% of people surveyed in the UK believe time travel is possible right now [01:07] random fact...

[01:08] yea yea, i know :) just wanted a quick laugh to say thankyou for the help so far ;) [01:09] The_Rufus: more than that believe in an invisible sky daddy. I think the time travel believe is more acceptable. [01:09] I'm using ushare to serve movies to my xbox 360. I was wondering if anyone knows why I can't serve files to 2 xbox 360's at the same time [01:09] belief* [01:09] Hello, this could be a silly question. I'm compiling the latest SVN build of tovid on an Ubuntu dist. as part of an effort to update all things dealing with media playback/encoding. Is there a way to use something like checkinstall or auto-apt to build a deb package of the SVN snapshot or is the ./setup.py the only method? The ./setup.py works great and this version of tovid works splendidly, the onl [01:09] y adjustment is learning to type tovid id * rather than idvid *. But I would like the package management to recognize it as installed in case there are any dependency issues with something else I install down the road. Any suggestions? [01:09] The ushare channel isn't being manned. [01:10] Anyone know how to compile/run a .jar file on Ubuntu? [01:10] Zoidfarb: java -jar file.jar ? [01:10] jukebox-zero: deselect or aptitude hold [01:11] Zoidfarb, if you right click the file and open with sun java web start if sun java is installed or yes what qin mentioned [01:12] has anyone ever had any joy getting a Huawei E220 USB 3G internet stick working on linux? [01:12] umm... I accidently ran chmod 0777 * -R as root in the root directory... is there a script that allows me to revert to the proper permissions, or at least a list of what those are? [01:12] Gasseus, just reinstall [01:12] qin, I get an error, "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from Runner.jar" [01:13] escott Really? That your answer to everything? [01:13] Gasseus: Back up own data and reinstall, going be faster [01:13] Zoidfarb: i don't see errors. it just refuse to connect [01:13] qin no it isn't, you don't know how much data I have [01:13] Zoidfarb: (i am now with a wire) [01:13] Gasseus: honestly man, I would reinstall too [01:13] Gasseus: Do you have separate /home partition? [01:14] qin, does it require Sun java? I think I just installed java-default from synaptic [01:14] DasEi: Thanks. But the issue is (and sorry, I copy pasted and didn't make this clear) the install script included with source is python, so it doesn't register with apt-get or aptitude as being installed though it is. I would like to know if I could recompile and use make - sudo checkinstall to build a dep, rather than using their .py install script. I am not a programmer and I suspect their code is probably entirely diffe [01:14] rent than source that uses make - check install if they included a .py installer. But I don't know for sure and wondered if any one feels that indicated that make etc wouldn't work? [01:14] Zoidfarb: i am ok to use the gnome app. [01:14] Gasseus: you can make a second install and write a script, as this hahppens here and then [01:14] qin no [01:14] @ActionParsnip - This is 11.04. It doesn't naturally want to use the xorg.conf [01:14] Zoidfarb: Not sure, not really java person here. [01:15] qin, me either...

[01:24] WCwarrior, nvidia uses Xorg.conf what would not be compatible with ati. you should see it if you ls /etc/X11, and then mv /etc/X11/Xorg.conf /root [01:24] How do I install java for chromium? [01:24] WCwarrior, rather sudo mv ... [01:24] tazthaspaz, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS [01:24] lion42: lol, then I can't read the text [01:24] All they have is an .rpm [01:24] !java | rcmaehl [01:24] rcmaehl: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://goo.gl/zwOip - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.

[01:26] escott: again, my apologies...is this information listed easily somewhere within the sytem folder or is there like a cmd in terminal to find this out, etc.? [01:26] DasEi: yep [01:26] nice [01:26] Jim455R: God is Love :) [01:27] how to run the gnome's network managar without using gnome? i try running NetworkManager from the terminal but it tells me it's already running.

[01:27] merlot, sp is a good pet. ;-) [01:27] so [01:28] WCwarrior, find what out? i'm saying in your terminal type ls /etc/X11 there should be something called conf, and you can "sudo mv /etc/X11/Xorg.conf /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.nvidia" to back it up and disable it at the same time [01:28] I think that Ubuntu has stopped recognizing the presence of my laptop charger. For some reason my charge icon is always showing now in the Indicator Applet even though before it would only show when my charger was not plugged in. Ubuntu is also setting my display dim even while it's plugged in, even though in Power Management PReferences it is set to only do this while on battery power. [01:28] owen1: nm-cli [01:28] qin: thanks [01:28] Jim455R: Samsung something, bought it a few years ago. 22" I think [01:29] very good brand [01:29] WallyJ2K: you can lookup modelines in /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log, and there is a tool cvt out, sadly not in repos [01:29] Mike9863, what does the battery icon say when you hover over t with your cursor? [01:30] it [01:30] yeah I still like, except for being too big, need a fast graphics card to see games in its native resolution. Anyhow I keep going offtopic, should be talking about ubuntu. mmm ubuntu... [01:30] Mike9863, actuall a right click on it. [01:30] WallyJ2K: can you give exact model of screen ? [01:30] urlin2u: When I click it it says "Laptop battery: estimating..." I am pretty sure that it used to give a correct read out before. I haven't made any changes so I'm not sure why this would happen. [01:32] Mike9863, is it running like it is using the plugin rather then the battery=time? [01:33] urlin2u: It's running as though it's on battery power even though the charger is plugged in. [01:34] how to make gui elements like icons and windows in ubuntu looks smaller ? [01:34] Mike9863, time wise I mean, have you used it a lot could it now not being fully charged? [01:34] be being [01:36] dr3mro: could use a higer dpi [01:36] Mike9863, its possible that the battery is not getting back to 100% of what should be possible. you can see if the power supply is sending power by looking at /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/ac/ACPI???/power_supply/AC0/online and for the battery you can look at power levels in /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/battery/..../power_supply/BAT0/energy_now vs energy_full [01:38] all the games im tryng to run are giving the same sort of error [01:38] I have a new Asus laptop and I wanted to know when the live cd loads why does the screen look so stretched and fuzzy? Any Solutions? === fr0sted is now known as fr0sted-bnc [01:39] blopm, it is running in vesa mode, run in a terminal jockey-gtk and install the graphics drivers for your graphics card [01:39] does anyone knows what this means? DRM version 1.5 too old to support HyperZ, disabling. [01:39] escott: I can do this on the cd? [01:39] escott: its not installed. [01:39] blopm, not on the cd. you could on a usb [01:40] osd-notify has stopped working... ARGHH [01:40] blopm, but even then only if your usb was configured to save data on reboots [01:40] how do fix [01:40] what do [01:40] dreamy_, DRM is the kernel interface for the graphics card. your kernel is evidently too old [01:40] Haematom: What is your native language? [01:41] escott: if i install it will this gurateed a screen resolution fix to make it clear? [01:41] Spanglish [01:41] Spanglish? are you kidding me? [01:41] Haematoma, lol [01:41] escott, it sarted to happend with the new ubuntu versions .. from 10.04 and up, does it means the card is not getting suported? [01:41] blopm, its not something you want to do with the livecd. if you are concerned that the card may not be supported give us the hardware specs [01:42] ok someone send me pm quickly [01:42] I want to see if OSD-notify is working [01:42] @dasei - my TV is a 42inch LG Flatscreen [01:42] dreamy_, don't know ati [01:42] i thought firefox 6 was supposed to be coming as an update. mine still shows 5 [01:42] it needs a refresh rate of 59.934. I think my external VGA is only sending at 60 [01:42] my kernel is equivelent to ubuntu 10.10 ..:S [01:42] Haematoma: yo [01:42] WallyJ2K: model ? [01:43] urlin2u: It's usually always plugged in. I had it unplugged and in sleep for about one minute, and when I resumed and plugged it in the icon did not go away, and my settings are as though they are on battery power rather than on AC power which is what it should be when it is plugged in, correct? [01:43] WallyJ2K, why.. would we want to know? [01:43] jmcantrell, not the firefox in apt. you get the version that came with your release [01:43] escott, its a m6 ly radeon 7000 rv100 [01:43] escott: the graphics card is UMA [01:43] jmcantrell: you can get firefox 6 via ppa [01:43] Mike9863, did you see the other post by escott [01:43] ActionParsnip: do you know the ppa? [01:44] WallyJ2K, i dont go around blarting that i have a 50" tv.. [01:44] jmcantrell: i know it exists, I don't use firefox [01:44] It has nothing to do with your video card, or drivers. [01:44] jmcantrell: use the web, you'll find it [01:44] !ff6 [01:44] @Vidalia - Someone asked [01:44] Firefox 6 will be available as an update for 11.04 shortly. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [01:44] there we go [01:44] thanks [01:44] blopm, not sure what UMA is [01:45] @Dasei LG Model: 42LD520 [01:46] jmcantrell: when somebody states there is a PPA, at least TRY and find it yourself before asking [01:46] ActionParsnip: :P [01:46] jmcantrell: the more autonymous you can be, the better [01:47] ActionParsnip: i added the ppa, updated, but it doesn't show an upgrade for ff [01:47] if i remve wine will it delete my programs too....i want to reinstall it [01:47] @Dasei - might also be a limitation of the fact that I have to run ubuntu in classic mode. Limited choices for video setup [01:47] kingofswords, it won't remove the files in ~/.wine which is probably where your programs are [01:47] is 500 mb enough for swap? [01:48] ok thx [01:48] skpl, depends. standard recommendation is =RAM, but many people don't use swap [01:48] jmcantrell: you need to run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [01:48] skpl: Do you want to be able to hybernate? [01:48] WallyJ2K: sorry, can't find it in database [01:48] escott: do they use something else instead? [01:48] skpl: if you have 256Mb RAM, yes [01:49] ActionParsnip: did that [01:49] escott and urlin2u: It turns out that the battery just wasn't at 100%. Since my laptop is usually always plugged in, I assumed that "On AC Power" just meant that it was plugged in. Thanks for your help. [01:49] ActionParsnip: i have 512mb [01:49] jmcantrell: ok if you run: apt-cache policy firefox do you see the PPA in the output [01:49] jmcantrell, I had to run sudo apt-get install firefox [01:49] skpl, depends on whether or not you need to swap. if you have 16gb of ram and only ever browse the web, you probably don't need swap. anything from 0-2xRAM is reasonable for somebody [01:49] skpl: then you want 1Gb of swap [01:49] escott: will the resoution be fixed is all Im asking [01:50] skpl: double RAM amount for swap unless you have more than 2Gb RAM, then it's the SAME amount as RAM [01:50] ActionParsnip: i do not [01:50] ActionParsnip: ok thank you [01:50] jmcantrell: then you dodn't add the ppa right [01:50] blopm, if you can get the drivers for your graphics card installed, then you won't be in vesa mode and it wont be stretched, and will be a higher resolution [01:50] jmcantrell: run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [01:50] @dasei - What were you hoping to find in the database, and what db are you talking about? [01:51] ActionParsnip: yes i did. that's the exact command i used [01:51] jmcantrell: what is the output of: lsb_release -c please [01:51] hi [01:51] w00t my first time here [01:51] jmcantrell, firefox 6? [01:51] ActionParsnip: natty [01:51] urlin2u: yes [01:51] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next [01:51] banshee music player sure looks a lot like rhythmbox [01:52] The square root of 69 is 8-something [01:52] jmcantrell: try the next PPA listed above, same update / upgrade stuff though :) [01:52] you and me baby, we could have made something [01:52] jmcantrell, might be the stable though when added later today.

[01:53] WallyJ2K: http://pastebin.com/RCvPuFwG, own risk, generic [01:53] jmcantrell, I don't know it should be in the regular repos then I suspect. [01:53] Ok, I'll behave now [01:53] Haematoma: #test and other channels can be used for testing, this is an active support channel. [01:53] Sorry [01:53] Apologies [01:54] I'm having trouble getting bumblebee to run. Does anyone have any experience with it? [01:54] WallyJ2K: there are tools not available in default ubu, some screens can be found there [01:55] ElTimo: sorry still on AGP here [01:55] my problem is that I can't get an xorg.conf to even edit === hamnegga is now known as mcurran [01:55] WallyJ2K, have you tried Xorg -configure [01:55] @Dasei - whenever I try to recreate one, the command does nothing === jayT is now known as renzhi [01:56] WallyJ2K: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf will make the file and make it ready for editting [01:56] escott: does it cost money to get the drivers installed? [01:56] escott - I have tried sudo xorg -configure, even with X shut down. It does nothing [01:56] when I reboot there is still no xorg.conf [01:56] WallyJ2K: do you add text and save the new file [01:57] blopm, no, but they are not open-source so there are more support issues [01:57] WallyJ2K, that will just create the file in /root i believe [01:57] wow, this would have to be the slowest linux install ever.... [01:57] blopm: No. But there is a (small) chance your graphics card is not supported, even with proprietary drivers. === photon is now known as Guest99563 [01:57] Jordan_U: i dont want to install this on my new laptop and it look a mess. [01:58] blopm: what laptop did you get? [01:58] SIFTU: Asus [01:58] model? [01:59] SIFTU: k53e [01:59] blopm: You can install Ubuntu using Wubi to test things out. (By using Wubi it is as easy to remove Ubuntu again if you don't want it as it is to uninstall any Windows program). [01:59] OK... created the xorg.conf and added settings to it, but I have to restart for it to work, right? [02:00] WallyJ2K: restart gdm yes, and need general vid-section with radeon by chance [02:00] notify-OSD is not functioning correctly [02:00] where should I begin to troubleshoot it? [02:00] blopm, fyi... i'm kinda lazy so I'm not going to plug k53e into google and find what kind of system that is. you might want to run lspci and give us the key details list there (cpu and video card) [02:00] blopm: If the graphics drivers work in a Wubi install they will also work in a normal dual boot configuration, so you would either be able to keep the Wubi install or do a normal dual boot install (I prefer the latter). [02:00] dasei - That is why I did not want to start from scratch [02:01] Jordan_U: I have Ubuntu on this laptop im on now. i know how it works I just dont want it looking a mess. and yea ill check out wubi. [02:01] blopm: can you "lspci |grep -i vga" [02:01] WallyJ2K: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't create a file ?? [02:01] SIFTU: Im only on a live cd can i still do that? [02:01] dasei - no [02:01] blopm: yep [02:01] strange then [02:01] dasei - what is the command to restart gdm? [02:01] WallyJ2K, sudo service gdm restart [02:02] WallyJ2K: sudo gdm stop , then sudo gdm start [02:02] thanks === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [02:02] WallyJ2K: err, ja service not to forget [02:02] gotcha [02:03] what if I don't have the generic radeon part in the xorg.conf [02:03] WallyJ2K: here is a vanilla xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/BaWjyYgP [02:04] WallyJ2K, if you want to use radeonhd (ships with Xorg) just rename the Xorg.conf [02:05] dasei - If I want to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again, should i rename the current xorg.conf? [02:05] in ubuntu firefox browser [02:06] the bookmark folder icons is not there [02:06] why? [02:06] http://pastebin.com/rUXyhyQM [02:06] why is this happening to me [02:06] zroysch, use parted or install and use gdisk [02:07] WallyJ2K: nope, but then again re-write the mitor sections [02:07] escott: what [02:07] monitor* [02:07] openoffice had a special package that was needed to run in spanish, but the name of the package was openoffice something or other. My question is since libre office forked what is the naming convintion for thier packages? [02:07] I ran the command. It did nothing to the xorg.conf file [02:07] SIFTU: sorry for the disconnect. [02:07] my xorg.conf file only contains the commands you gave me in pastebin [02:08] SIFTU: It says VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp device 0116 (rev 09) [02:08] blomp: ok and "uname -a" [02:08] zroysch, it tells you not to use fdisk, so don't. and besides the partitions are different block sizes compare 1953513472 vs 1953514494 [02:09] zroysch, but since you are using fdisk on a gpt disk those numbers are meaningless, as fdisk doesn't even know what the real partition table is [02:09] oh [02:09] SIFTU: ubuntu 2.6.32-33-generic #70 ubuntu SMP todays date i686 GNU/Linux [02:10] zroysch, cat /proc/partitions [02:10] blomp: your kernel is too old.. geta live cd with at least kernel 2.6.38 and for best performance kernel 3.0 [02:10] escott: should i even be using this GPT? I did it mostly as an experiment [02:10] SIFTU: This is Ubuntu 10.04 thats why. But I should get 11.04? [02:11] zroysch, you need to use gpt for disks larger than 2gb (or something around that). gpt has a number of advantages, but you do have to use the correct tools [02:11] zykotick9: GPT is great, just don't use fdisk. [02:11] hi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/667839/ this is a scrip using "zenity" to show a GUI message. it works when invoked form a terminal but when crontab calls it, it doesn't work.what's wrong?here's the crontab line i use http://paste.ubuntu.com/667844/ [02:11] zroysch, 2tb not 2gb [02:11] escott: http://pastebin.com/caBDgqNx [02:11] blomp: yes your chip came out after that kernel and wasnt supported until 2.6.38 [02:11] * roma yo [02:11] and even then it wasnt that great.. but kernel 3.0 it's pretty good [02:12] . [02:12] hi [02:12] zroysch, so there you can see sda1 is not the same size as sdb1 or your md array [02:13] hello [02:13] SIFTU: ok the only thing that annoys me about Ubuntu 11.04 is this side bar thing how do i move it or get rid of it. [02:13] escott: why is sda being made smaller? i even repartitioned it in gparted to maximum size. they are both the same make and model hard drive [02:13] zroysch, since sda is the same size as sdb your problem must be that you have a few spare blocks in sda that you aren't using. this could be because you aligned the blocks at a MB boundary, and using that additional space could break 4k alignment leading to lower performance. you should try and partition with the additional blocks and then check the alignment with parted before proceeding === fr0sted-bnc is now known as fr0sted [02:13] blomp: log into ubuntu classic and it doesn't run === r3m is now known as r3mm [02:14] blomp, you can only shrink it, you can use the classic desktop if you like [02:14] !classic| blomp [02:14] blomp: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [02:14] blomp: oneiric uses unity2D so it will be present in both desktops in future releases [02:14] just installed ubuntu on my dell m501r with win 7 2 probs, its very slow and wireless wont work [02:14] escott: don't know what much of that meant [02:14] Guest7785: what wireless chip do you use? [02:14] maybe I should try doing this some other time [02:14] hi, i cant get my Gigaset usb adapter to work with ubuntu, can someone help please? i cant find anything on the internet about fixing the issue [02:15] let me remember its the nw501 i think it was [02:15] fr0sted: run: lsusb one line will identify the device, use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [02:15] Guest7785: run: sudo lshw -C network [02:15] Guest7785: what is the product line? [02:16] Alright all... goodnight. I'll work on this more in the morning. Thanks again for all of your help!!! [02:16] aight one sec let me try when ubuntu loads, its going super slow [02:16] blomp: off topix but since there isnt an easy solution you could go linux mint [02:16] * r3mm test [02:16] SIFTU: please don't suggest linux mint here [02:16] SIFTU: Would you recommend 32 bit for my laptop [02:17] zroysch, long and short you didn't do "exactly" the same thing with sda and sdb. (as an aside I would recommend buying different disks from different manufacturers, you don't want to find out that there is a design flaw in your array when they both die suddenly) [02:17] SIFTU, this is ubuntu channel so please talk only about ubuntu [02:17] ActionParsnip: sorry but he doesnt have much choice.. [02:17] still waiting for it to load [02:17] !classic | SIFTU [02:17] SIFTU: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity.

[02:17] SIFTU: we can resolve the issues, thats a simple choice to make [02:18] ActionParsnip: ok I hand it over to you [02:18] Guest7785: what is the product line of the wireless device please? [02:19] Should i use 32 bit or 64 for my laptop? [02:19] blomp: how much RAM do you have and what is the use of the system? [02:19] blomp: I suggest you listen to the other members of this room in order to get ubuntu working and your sandy bridge proc with on chip intel gpu [02:20] blomp: Run "grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo" and paste one-liner result here. [02:20] i have a dell mini 1012...if i install ubuntu will i run into problems networking with my windows computers? [02:20] ActionParsnip: 4gb [02:20] blomp: what CPU is it? [02:21] iys a broadcom [02:21] blomp: Run that command -- and it'll tell you (us too) if your machine is capable of running 64bit. [02:21] ewok4357: depends how you mean "networking", it will comunicate using the defacto standards for network communications... [02:21] <|usr|bin|nice> are the packages for Ubuntu only optimize for i386 and x86_64? [02:21] Guest7785: a broadcom 43xx ? === r3mm is now known as r3m [02:22] newbie here.....i would just want to be able to print and access shared files/folders [02:22] trying to figure out how to find out [02:22] ewok4357: yes that will be fine. Instead of saying "network" which means very littel, say what you mean [02:22] Guest7785: I gave the command to find out, just run it then wait for the system to be scanned. You wil be shown [02:22] |usr|bin|nice: Looks like "powerpc" arch too. [02:22] So, I've installed apache and the SCGI module on Buntu and I've used the clause "SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000" in my apache2.conf file and even when I restart apache, I can't see to find it listening on that port. Any ideas? [02:23] Guest7785: what is there to figure out? [02:23] will i have to do any extra installs inside ubuntu? Or will it be easy to setup like windows is? [02:23] i ran the command it saya [02:23] <|usr|bin|nice> Lasers, I see [02:24] |usr|bin|nice, i think there are i686 optimizations in i386 arch [02:24] broadcom clock 33mhz doesnt say what kind [02:24] also....do i need to do the ubuntu netbook version or will the regular ubuntu install work? [02:24] ewok4357: you can browse windows shares with no extra packages to install# [02:24] !broadcom | Guest7785 [02:24] Guest7785: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:24] ewok4357: If you're new to linux, I hope you don't use that netbook as your primary/sole machine. [02:25] no i dont...it is an extra [02:25] ewok4357: there is no more netbook edition of ubuntu [02:25] <|usr|bin|nice> escott, you mean some i386 softwares are optimize for i686 ? [02:25] ewok4357: That's great. Never dive in without any plans. :) [02:26] what happened to the netbook edition of Ubuntu? [02:26] i just know the netbooks are sometimes slow with win7, and want it to run faster [02:26] !unr | paul67431 [02:26] paul67431: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. [02:26] paul67431: its no longer developed, there is a PPA for it if you REALLY want [02:26] oh ok, thanks [02:27] ewok4357, if you want really fast gui i suggest you try lubuntu [02:27] |usr|bin|nice, a lot of the more performance critical applications will dynamically switch to using sse type features [02:27] any reason why ubuntu is running [02:27] really slow [02:28] Guest7785: do you now have wifi setup? [02:28] <|usr|bin|nice> escott, ah, i see. good to know [02:28] no i unimstalled bcml-modialiases earlier like someone suggested and cant get it reinstalled [02:29] Guest7785: do you have WWW access? [02:29] yea, im dual booted with win 7 [02:29] im on my phone on the irc [02:29] Guest7785: Wni7 is moot, do you have www acces IN UBUNTU [02:30] |usr|bin|nice, they can play around a bit with optimization. its possible to target a later machine but still be 386 compatible [02:30] no [02:30] Guest7785: is the system a laptop? [02:30] yes [02:30] Guest7785: get a wired connection and get fully updated [02:30] brand new dell m501r [02:30] <|usr|bin|nice> escott, you mean the Ubuntu devs?

I want to export form pdf to text [02:34] ActionParsnip: I have poppler but dont know how to work it [02:35] goer: you didn't read my reply, the command converts pdf to txt [02:35] goer: I gave the command you need [02:35] ok thnx [02:37] ok im comnected wired [02:37] goer: Note that if you can't even select the text in evince then it's likely that the PDF is actually just a document filled with images of text rather than actual text (more common that you might think unfortunately).

[02:49] Guest7785: you need video drivers probably installing depends on the video chip used. [02:49] fschuindt: try a apt-get update first [02:49] its ati radeon hd 4250 card [02:49] _BS_: yes the keyring can have a password on it [02:49] i have a dual-boot setup and have a question. I have three partition on my HDD right now. dev/sda1 = ubuntu dev/sda2 = 100mb system reserved that windows 7 created and finally /dev/sda3 = windows 7 partition. My question is if I create a FINAL NTFS partition that acts as a storage bin that i can access from either OS, will i run into problems? [02:49] muelli: Yes, I've done ir [02:49] it* [02:50] Guest7785: then yes you'll need the ati driver, you will be using the open source driver currently [02:50] I think that's some problem in my repository. [02:50] Now it's AMD. [02:50] fschuindt: then pastebin us your exact output including prompt from where you've called the command. [02:50] If you want to be literal, "ati" is/was a wrapper around Radeon. [02:50] muelli: Its in portuguese. [02:51] Say, if I can confirm an Expired bug, should I move it back to New, or Confirmed? [02:51] fschuindt: that's a problem. Do smth like LC_ALL=C beforehand [02:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/677042 [02:51] Ubuntu bug 677042 in rhythmbox (Ubuntu) "rhythmbox removes song from library when external visualization is closed" [Low,Expired] [02:51] is there a channel for help with tv cards? [02:53] muelli: http://pastebin.com/TA6nZNRi [02:53] fschuindt: execute "export LC_ALL=C" and do it again. That should reset your output to plain english [02:54] fschuindt: and also show us the output of an "apt-get update". [02:55] <_BS_> ActionParsnip: I anticipate (system) mounting in fstab. Don't know that a keyring is available then. Preferably, I'm thinking it should use /etc/passwd. Alternately, is there not a process whereby the password string is encrypted? e.g. password=8eg47af. [02:56] _BS_: if its a samba mount you can put the account in a credentials file and mark it only readable by root [02:57] muelli: apt-get update: http://pastebin.com/F0YMSRhH //apt-get install: http://pastebin.com/aGLcP60a [02:58] muelli: how I back to my original language in terminal?

[03:00] hm fschuindt. That's weird. I can download the packages from, say, http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tango-icon-theme-common/tango-icon-theme-common_0.7-0ubuntu1_all.deb. So I think your Brazilian mirror is broken at the moment. [03:00] muelli: Hm... Thank you very much! :) [03:01] fschuindt: you could try to replace your Brazilian mirrors in your /etc/apt/sources.list* by something non brazilian. But that's an ugly work around. The real fix would be to find out why the mirror doesn't have these packages. [03:01] Hello all, I am having trouble configuring Ubuntu 11.04 to enable Remote Desktop so I can remote into it on the same network from a different room. [03:01] so, I tried (and failed) to compile the 3.0.1 kernel and now Ubuntu doesn't boot unless I kill the power during disk access thereby forcing a recovery menu - So I'm thinking now would be a good time to wipe all the 3.0 files and maybe try again [03:02] brandon: why is that? Just execute "vino-preferences" and you should see every setting you need [03:02] Anyone here familiar with the Unison sync tool? [03:02] (Particularly the CVS version's "repeat watch" option.) [03:02] JoeR1: just do it then :-) [03:03] I am having a problem with a mp3 device mounting. [03:03] bonsoir [03:03] When I click on the mp3 device in the "Computer" folder it doesn't seem to do anything. [03:03] muelli - well to be honest this is the first kernel-upgrade compile I have ever done so i am not 100% on how to get rid of the files other than just deleting them but I am sure there must be some kind of registry issue [03:03] It's a GPX Optimuo Mp4 [03:04] Guest13688: hm. Very possible that the device behaves weirdly. Open up a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T). Unplug the device. Execute "sudo dmesg -c". Plug the device in. Execute "sudo dmesg -c" and pastebin us the result. [03:04] what does .run filea open with? === Guest45198 is now known as Logan_ [03:05] JoeR1: well. delete the kernel files in /boot/ and do smth like "sudo update-grub" and "sudo update-initramfs -u". [03:05] JoeR1: depending on your GRUB version, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or the like and remove the lines that refer to 3.0. [03:06] JoeR1: And more importantly: Don't do such things if you don't understand what you're doing.

So I'm trying to get Apache2 set up on my Linode server. I used this tutorial: http://library.linode.com/getting-started#sph_set-the-hostname to set up my hostname. I used this tutorial to set up Apache: http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-10.04-lucid Whenever I try to connect to my server's IP, it says the connection was reset. My apache log files in /var/log/apache2 don't show [03:09] Any ideas? [03:09] whats the terminal command to update every program installed? [03:09] JoeR1: well. You are basically asking us to fix the system you broke yourself. That's not considered to be nice. But fortunately we gave you hints anyway. So let's hope they worked for you. [03:09] ga_sk8er, that version is past end of life. [03:09] ga_sk8er: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update [03:09] <_BS_> ActionParsnip: Yes, I know, I'm tried to avoid that. By preference, let me reask the question this way: Can samba make use of /etc/passwd, directly and solely? [03:09] ga_sk8er: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:10] urlin2u im using it until i can get windows on my pc [03:10] muelli: http://pastebin.com/z8EJhpp8 [03:10] muelli - actually I think I just figured it out, It looks like I configured lilo wrong and the 3.0 kernel may be just fine [03:10] muelli thanks [03:10] _BS_: you might want to ask the samba guys directly. [03:10] _BS_: not sure there dude, could try asking in #samba [03:10] <_BS_> muelli, ActionParsnip: Thanks. [03:11] been a few yrs so i forgot the commnads [03:11] ga_sk8er, no problem just letting you know, here is a wiki. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2011/03/29/ubuntu-9-10-reaches-end-of-life-on-april-30-2011/ [03:12] Guest13688: hm. looks weird indeed. Could you do it one more time please? I.e. unplug, dmesg -c (not interesting), plug in, dmesg -c (whichs result is interesting). [03:12] muelli - besdies I didn't break it that bad, for example I am using Xubuntu right now [03:12] i saw something i hadnt seen happen before in ubuntu...in the software center i could select a program but i cant see the install button anywhere [03:12] xubuntu has multimonitoring issues [03:13] i cant even get an irc client to install on here [03:13] then how are you talking to us?

[03:14] ga_sk8er: Almost sounds like you don't have admin rights [03:14] shouldnt this apt-update & apt-upgrade make it into 11.4? [03:14] ga_sk8er: no. [03:14] anyone good with tomcat here? [03:15] ga_sk8er: there is "update-manager" for that. [03:15] tomcat?

[03:17] maybe the newer version will let my floppy drive work. i need it so i can do something [03:17] my problem is I know nothing [03:17] ga_sk8er: 9.10 and it's epository is no longer supported, i suggest you to download and install a stable supported version from ubuntu.com [03:17] Bridge|: well. IRC is not necessarily the best support medium. Try writing their mailinglist. [03:17] omg i am.. good .. ActionParsnip sorry bout earlier im on my cell for net and it died.. i dont have network connection on the desktop still having grub issues, and i want windows loader back [03:17] FriGiN, do you have a windows disc? [03:18] urlin2u: yes. [03:18] urlin2u: its win 7 fdisk /mbr doesnt work [03:18] muelli: http://pastebin.com/FTQ8b1SY (Part 2) [03:18] The_Rufus: well. You have to understand that our crystal ball is broken right now and we can't magically see your problem. So I'm afraid that you have to explain it to us.

[03:22] side question while im waiting on win7 recovery to boot.. i saw an error message earlier today when messing about with all this.. it basically said that im limited to udma33 for my hdd's cuz im on a 40wire cable but these drives are udma 133.. any insight? isnt sata cable a sata cable? === satellit_ is now known as satellit_afk [03:25] im jsut waiting on this stupid thing to finish its updates [03:26] urlin2u: rebooted after bootrec /fixmbr - still get error no such device: "hex for my hdd" ... grub rescue> [03:26] even with 1GB memory it takes a while [03:27] JoeR1: lol i agree.. learn by breaking it.. thats how I learn too [03:27] FriGiN, try these 4 commands in the order they appear. http://paste.ubuntu.com/667878/ [03:28] siftu - well yeah, it's not like a car if I break linux I can just re-install no harm no foul [03:28] thats kinda why im in ubuntu right now...hdd error....bios reads my hdd but windows wont read my hdd....ubuntu reads it so i put ubuntu to thehdd for now [03:28] FriGiN, is the boot on the C partition or a boot partiton? [03:28] ga_sk8er: ram doesn't hugely affect updates, its more the drive speed [03:28] action...but ram does make the pc go faster [03:29] hey guys, my wireless wont seem to connect [03:29] it just started happening. 11.04 [03:29] urlin2u: at this point only my raid 0 is left in the box. which is the drive that had my mbr b4 [03:29] cc monster ....have u connected before? [03:29] JoeR1: I enjoy breaking and and fixing it [03:29] yes. it just started happening [03:29] FriGiN, in other word do you see W7 identified? [03:30] ga_sk8er: true but updates are replacing files on the drive with new ones [03:30] SIFTU - engineer by chance? [03:30] i didnt really look after i put my raid driver in the recovery console the first time i just assumed it was there like it had been.. im going back in to do what you said [03:30] JoeR1: yep :) you? [03:31] action. i know what its doing. replacing with newer versions of programs. im just being impatient & its taking a while lol [03:31] SIFTU - I studied at Vanderbilt but I didn't graduate (I ran out money) [03:31] any idea? [03:31] FriGiN, run them like this with a C C:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 [03:31] SIFTU - Mechanical for me you? [03:32] my terminal screen goes off the edge of my monitor and I can't read anything to the left. How can you change the resolution of your command line [03:32] ga_sk8er: you can speed up the download speed by using apt-fast instead of apt-get etc [03:32] oopps hold on FriGiN [03:32] FriGiN, C:BootRec.exe /fixmbr [03:32] its done now...brb...gotta restart pc [03:33] FriGiN, the mistaken post is a good link though on bcd [03:33] my problem with that is that it wont be c my hdd doesnt load till i load drivers for it.. so it will be f or g or what have you. [03:33] my wireless seems to just not connect [03:33] it keeps asking for the password, which i know is correct [03:34] and i know its on, because my tablet is connected to it [03:34] ccmonster: what wireless chip are you using? [03:34] ccmonster: stupid question.. have you restarted your router? [03:34] its a usb wireless [03:34] and yea, i did it twice [03:34] ccmonster: it still has a wireless chip inside [03:35] miss me? lol [03:35] ccmonster: and how did you set it up (if you had to manually do so) [03:35] its has randomly stopped working tonight [03:35] back got disconnected [03:36] ubumtu is [03:36] the usb wireless adapter is functioning, as it can connect to my wireless hotspot on my phone (which is what im on now) [03:36] it is a belkin wireless [03:36] running faster now [03:36] ccmonster: ok, try running: lsusb what is the line identifying the device? The make ISN'T the chip [03:36] Guest7785: magic huh [03:37] Bus 002 Device 002: ID 050d:905b Belkin Components F5D9050 Wireless G+ MIMO Network Adapter v3000 [Ralink RT2573] [03:37] yea, still cant get wireless working [03:37] ccmonster: ok so its a ralink RT2573 [03:37] the firefox stable ppa has released the version 6? [03:37] yeap [03:37] !ff6 [03:37] Firefox 6 will be available as an update for 11.04 shortly. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [03:38] ccmonster: if you run: sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20 what is the device name (wlan0 and ra0 are common) [03:38] I think that ppa is incorrect. [03:38] urlin2u: you can suggest new factoids if you wish [03:38] Hello, is it possible to decrease the swap to 1 GB instead of 2 GB to give the file system more space? [03:38] Gosh, Firefox 6 >.< [03:38] Ok all... I updated my video drivers in Ubuntu Classic. Now I can get into Standard "Ubuntu" when I log in. But now "Update Manager" crashes when I try to run it. Ideas? [03:38] atdprhs: You can resize partitions from any livecd with gparted [03:38] there isnt anything listed as device name [03:38] atdprhs: boot to liveCD and you should be able to resize partition [03:38] will it effect the installed ubuntu? [03:38] ccmonster: it doesn't say 'device name' [03:39] i can see the essid of my phone that it's connected to [03:39] cell01 [03:39] ccmonster: like the wired connection is eth0 [03:39] atdprhs: Not really, except it could end up running slower [03:39] it says wlan0 [03:39] urlin2u: it finds the directory that has my OS in it.. however both /fixboot and /rebuildbcd return "element not found" [03:39] but there isn't anything titled device name [03:39] ccmonster: ok that's cool [03:39] atdprhs: Basic idea - delete swap, resize /, recreate swap with a smaller size [03:39] how much swap is required to be at least? [03:39] ActionParsnip, I don't know how, but the FF6 is rumored on the doorstep, knocking so seems better to wait till then. ;-) [03:39] atdprhs: 1 gig is fine [03:40] atdprhs: Normally, $swap = $RAM*2, but I'd never create a 8-gig swap xD 1 gig is enough [03:40] How do i update flash? [03:40] okayz, so with Gparted from the live CD, I delete part of the swap and then give that part that I deleted to the File System "/" [03:40] urlin2u: i guess, not something I use or care about [03:40] FriGiN, not sure about raid and Windows, anybody suggest the bootscript? [03:40] so what next? [03:40] it will not damage anything, right theadmin? [03:40] ccmonster: tried disabling wireless security, to test [03:41] seclm193: did you install it from repository¿ [03:41] atdprhs: It won't. [03:41] I actually need to do that because I only have like 20 MB free on the file system... [03:41] disabling wireless security ? [03:41] ccmonster: just to test [03:41] ActionParsnip, sounds pragmatic me ethier I use it though. ;) [03:41] well, thank you theadmin! [03:41] in ubuntu? [03:41] and ActionParsnip [03:42] atdprhs: No problem at all. [03:42] not sure how to do that ActionParsnip [03:42] Oh, he left. Wanted to suggest him Bleachbit >.< [03:42] I updated firefox now, thanks [03:42] currently running the command line update to see if updated packages fix the problem [03:44] how do i install adobe flash on ubuntu [03:45] FriGiN, can you boot a ubuntu live cd and come on the channel to post the bootscript [03:45] i want to watch youtube videos [03:45] urlin2u: arora or chromium daily build here. Firefox can die for all I care :) [03:45] ga_sk8er: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [03:45] ActionParsnip, lol. [03:45] ga_sk8er: Also, youtube doesn't need flash :/ [03:45] theadmin thanks [03:45] minitube [03:45] no the wifi card i have on the desktop isnt working.. its an ae1000 and ive been having troubles with it === mike is now known as Guest81553 [03:46] theadmin ...i went to youtube & it said it does [03:46] i'm trying to solve a wifi issue too [03:46] hello. AllowTcpForwarding is not in my sshd_config file is that normal. running 11.04 [03:46] hey, if i wanted to acces the keyboard config where mousekeys are stored via keyboard and alt+f2, whatcommand would i run? [03:46] hi all [03:46] FriGiN, did you try installing wicd? [03:46] ActionParsnip, how do i disable wireless security? [03:47] ccmonster: its a setting in your router [03:47] can anyone step through a wireless setup with me? I searched the forums and tried everything with no luck [03:47] i think i need to be physically connected and I dont have any laptops in the house at the moment [03:47] urlin2u: dont know about wicd, and dont know how to install if im not connected.. [03:47] Can anyone tell me how to change the resolution in bash? [03:47] ccmonster, you could move the router [03:47] FriGiN, I see the wireless card, well if you could hard plug that thing and post the bootscript there may be hope [03:48] The_Rufus: xrandr -s 640x480 [03:48] I wish I could. [03:48] the wireless is next to a box where the actual fiber is wired into the apt [03:48] urlin2u: i'll do my damnedest. see what happens. [03:48] hey guys im having a problem running an os on virtual box when i try to startx [03:48] I'm not in Xwindows, i'm in a command shell [03:48] I'm running server [03:48] ccmonster, disconnect it. you dont need to be online to disable the wa [03:48] FriGiN, this sort of fix is easy with the right tools to see if can be done or not. [03:49] i am on my phones wireless connectino [03:49] i can turn the router off, then back on. is that what you mean? [03:49] why would the router randomly NOT allow one single device [03:49] urlin2u: im ready to put a bullet in my head, now it wont boot at all.. post completes but wont even boot off of the usb now. [03:50] anyone? [03:50] ccmonster: no, you need to access the configuration in the router and turn off the encryption so that it is unprotected, to see if it connects then [03:50] The_Rufus: Ah... You need to change your kernel line [03:50] ccmonster: if I'd meant turn it off and on I would have said that [03:51] theadmin: how do you do that? [03:51] The_Rufus: http://shrimpworks.za.net/2005/01/31/change-your-console-resolution-and-colour-depth/ [03:51] hey, if i wanted to acces the keyboard config where mousekeys are stored via keyboard and alt+f2, whatcommand would i run? [03:51] again, why is the router randomly NOT allowing one machine? [03:51] The_Rufus: The grub menu file in Ubuntu though is /etc/default/grub or something [03:52] ccmonster, it may be restricted by mac address [03:52] Yes! [03:52] I'm UNBANNED [03:53] ccmonster: if the wirelees cannot connect to the encryption you are using then you won't be able to connect. You could try reinstating the driver in the same way you installed it the first time [03:54] PerfieM: just don't get banned again ;) [03:54] PerfieM: Just try not to get yourself banned again [03:54] ActionParsnip: I can't make any promises :/ [03:54] it has connected to this router fine, for weeks. [03:54] PerfieM: Follow the !Guidelines and you'll be fine. [03:54] ban him hes a heretic... oh wait..that was someone else. [03:54] escott, i guess that is possible. [03:55] theadmin: okay, thanks for the advice sir, === hamnegga is now known as mcurran [03:59] hello [03:59] I'm back again [03:59] I'm sorry [03:59] I deleted the swap [03:59] atdprhs: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:59] is there a way to access the 'system' menu with the keyboard in gnome? [03:59] but I can't add the unallocated resources to / [03:59] what do I do? [03:59] bennis, windows key then type system [03:59] thank you! [03:59] um [03:59] windows key doesn't doanything? [04:00] atdprhs, you have to boot the system in a livecd and then grow the partition [04:00] I am on livecd [04:00] bennis, is this classic gnome? maybe the "menu" key (the one on the other side) [04:01] should i use ext2 or ext3 for a large external drive? [04:01] escott: the munu key just does a right click basically [04:01] jmcantrell, ext4 is probably best [04:01] jmcantrell: ext2 has no journal thus will wear the drive out less [04:01] ok. so ext2 or ext4? [04:02] escott, I'm trying to grow / partition with more space by taking 1 GB from 2 GB swap [04:02] it seems that swap is in an extended partition [04:02] alright i re-restarted the router [04:02] hello [04:02] there [04:02] how do i see what is happening AS the card tried to connect to the wireess? [04:02] jmcantrell, its a bit more like pick your features, ext2=basic ext3=ext2+journal which would wear out an ssd, ext4=ext3+extents, but you can have ext4-journal if you need [04:02] wireless* [04:03] atdprhs, what are the partition numbers of the relevent partitions [04:03] i have a problem with my httrack offline software [04:03] would i need journalling on an external drive? [04:03] it doesnt work [04:03] nperea: ? [04:03] sdb1 [04:04] then sdb2 [04:04] somebody help me [04:04] jmcantrell: Unless you plan power failures, no [04:04] then sdb3 [04:04] nperea: Define "doesn't work". [04:04] the unallocated is sdb2 [04:04] jmcantrell, ever knocked a usb cord out? then yes [04:04] there is 3 and 4 and 5 [04:04] !enter | atdprhs [04:04] atdprhs: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:04] I mean 5 and 6 only, no 3 or 4 [04:04] atdprhs, and what is what? [04:04] Hi Guys, need some serious help with my graphics card...anybody got some time? [04:05] atdprhs: Send a screenshot please, so it's less confusing [04:05] ,' [04:05] stanley_: Just ask the question, whoever knows will help [04:05] there is sdb1, sdb2 (Extended)(, unallocated, sdb5, sdb6 [04:05] theadmin it that software in win version track an entire website and download it for offline browsing [04:05] nperea: I know what it does. [04:05] stanley_, name the card and the question? [04:05] nperea: How it "doesn't work"? [04:05] is there a way to access the 'system' menu with the keyboard in gnome? [04:05] but here in ubunto when i try i get an error [04:06] it didnt nothing [04:06] bennis, do you have a terminal? [04:06] okayz [04:06] nperea: For god's sake, WHAT error? [04:06] escott: yes, i'm in irc in it right now [04:06] theadmin, how do I send the screenshot? [04:06] ok running natty with an ATI technologies inc Rage 128 RK/VR graphics card, need to install the driver so I can get desktop effects and a clearer resolution [04:06] escott: i'm trying to turn on mouse keys [04:07] bennis, have you tried gnome-control-center or gnome-sys[TAB] i think its the first [04:07] atdprhs: Printscreen. Save. Upload to your favorite image hosting site. [04:07] propriety drivers arent available [04:08] sup [04:09] stanley_: single monitor system? [04:09] yepp single monitor [04:09] stupid Highpoint, release drivers but the tar file is missing the .h files [04:09] http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/171/screenshotib.png/ [04:10] atdprhs: ookay, that's a pretty confusing setup [04:10] ok theadmin [04:11] linuxuz3r_, need anything? [04:11] what do I do? [04:11] just saying sup [04:11] the admin it start to work properly [04:11] escott: thanks, it was the first one [04:12] thank a lot [04:12] escott: coulda just alt-f2'd that too xD [04:12] atdprhs, you can add the 1.91 to part 5 by moving 5 to the left and then growing it. but it takes two steps [04:12] stanley_: what res do you use? [04:13] Does anyone know what the feature difference is between ubottu's encyclopedia plugin and the supybot factoids plugin? [04:13] nperea: Uhh... %) [04:13] right now I am restriced to 1024 x 768 because my graphics card driver isn't installed properly, but you can see that the screen is out of focused and it fits awkwardly on the monitor [04:14] smw: Metadiscussion about ubottu is more likely to get a response in #ubuntu-bots-team. It's a bit offtopic here :) [04:14] stanley_: is 1024x768 ok for you if it was sharper? [04:14] atdprhs: I also wanted to suggest Bleachbit, which is a program to help you remove a ton of junk (e.g. temporary files, cache, etc) from your disk [04:14] Essentially I would like to use a larger resolution [04:14] rww, awesome, thanks for the tip [04:14] stanley_: that's what I'm asking. What res do you want? [04:14] it would be if it was sharper [04:14] the admin a have a question [04:15] its about virtualbox [04:15] I will use that program, but I really want to decrease the swap to 1 GB and give the file system another extra 1 GB [04:15] Escott, I don't understand how that is possible [04:15] I am not 100% certain what resolution I would like really it depends on how it fits on my screen once I see it [04:15] but 1024 x 768 would be ok if it were sharper [04:15] atdprhs, what filesystem? you have three of them. please be more specific [04:15] theadmin i have a question about virtualbox [04:15] nperea: Ask it [04:15] sdb7 is home [04:16] atdprhs, there is no 7 [04:16] stanley_: ok run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:16] and sdb6 -> I don't know about that, because I did not really requested the manual partition to create it, I want to give 1 extra GB to sdb1 [04:16] stanley_: paste in this text: http://pastebin.com/Av4NA1jY [04:16] theadmin it is posible to conect harware to a virtualized os [04:17] there is sdb7 which is 977.14, please look at the uploaded picture again [04:17] nperea: Depends on what hardware you mean. [04:17] atdprhs, im looking at it. there is no 7 [04:17] ok and save? [04:17] AAAAAARRRRGGHHH!!!!! Why can't I do something as simple as get RAID to work!!! I hate highpoint now [04:17] copmletely [04:17] oh [04:17] it is sdb6 [04:17] what use is having incomplete drivers on your website [04:17] theadmin so i want to get two fisical pcs working one with the host os [04:18] atdprhs, and there is nothing that is 977.14. there is sdb6 which has 977.14 used, but is actually 1.07GB in size [04:18] theadmin and the another working with the guest os [04:18] Ok. So after make gets done compiling and starts linking the code for ffmpeg I get an output like "/home/jukebox-zero/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libx264.c:404: undefined reference to `x264_encoder_open_116'" among others. So I get that this is an unresolved symbol, but ok, now what. Am I missing the .c file or ? I checked the directory CC complained about but ~/ffmpeg/libavcodec doesn't seem to exist. [04:18] atdprhs, now where do you want to add this free space [04:18] nperea: Well, Virtualbox can boot from real hard drives [04:18] it is that posibole [04:18] sdb6 is home, sdb5, I don't know what is about it, because I didn't manually create it, I want to add 1 GB to sdb1 [04:18] nperea: Other than that, idk === aztek1 is now known as aztek [04:19] ActionParsnip: ok I pasted and saved that [04:20] escott, I want to add the free space to sdb1 [04:20] how i can config two keyboard one of them to work with the real machine and the another working with the guest machine [04:20] ??? [04:20] Er, LD, not CC sorry. Missed a line: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [04:20] atdprhs, to do that, you would first have to delete 2, but doing so will automatically also delete 5 and 6. it is possible (but very dangerous) to write down the exact block locations of 5 and 6, then delete part 2 and recreate a new part 2 that is perfectly partitioned to allow you to exactly recreate part 5 and part 6 thus freeing space for part 1. i would NOT recommend you do this [04:20] the same with the mouse === _BS__ is now known as _BS_ === _BS_ is now known as Guest7506 [04:21] stanley_: ok, reboot to test. If it is bad then hold shift at boot, select roecovery mode then select root and run: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old note the X ni X11 is capitalized. You can then run: reboot and you will be back where you are now [04:21] can anyone tell me how to install drivers for Highpoint RocketRaid 2320 on Ubuntu 11 server edition? Please? [04:21] atdprhs, you could see if gparted will do this for you by seeing if you can select part 2 and resize it [04:22] The_Rufus, drivers for what [04:22] I did it [04:23] HighPoint Rocket Raid 2320 [04:23] how can I create the swap? [04:23] ("I did not delete 5 and 6) [04:23] The_Rufus, wireless card, or something else [04:23] I downloaded the driver from mhea: http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Driver/page/rr232x.htm [04:23] ActionParsnip: ok if it is good what should I expect? [04:23] RAID controller [04:23] atdprhs: Choose any unallocated space you may have, create some partition there, format it to linux-swap [04:24] Downloaded the Open Source driver and tried a make, but it tells me it needs a .h file which it can't find [04:24] hi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/667839/ this is a scrip using "zenity" to show a GUI message. it works when invoked form a terminal but when crontab calls it, it doesn't work.what's wrong?here's the crontab line i use http://paste.ubuntu.com/667844/ [04:25] okayz [04:26] mASOUD_42: you dont have the full path to the script.. and are you running it as your user (the cron). and does it have $DISPLAY set? [04:26] urlin2u: im finally into ubuntu off a flash drive, for whatever reason it was having troubles had to move the usb to another port.. what now [04:26] I will reboot and test it, if it worked, I did not touch sdb5 and 6, it should work specially with the 1 GB linux-swap, right? [04:27] SIFTU, i placed the script in ~/bin . yea i run as user like i type crontab -e for editing it. dont know about $display [04:28] mASOUD_42: but ~/bin isnt in the $PATH [04:28] FriGiN, in the terminal run all the commands together, a text file will be in home copy and paste all of it to a pastebin and post the http. http://paste.ubuntu.com/667640/ [04:28] atdprhs, you may need to adjust your /etc/fstab to reflect the new swap [04:28] FriGiN, link is the commands [04:28] mASOUD_42: you could add to the $PATH in your script.. or just use the full path in the crontab [04:28] urlin2u: net.. cant wget [04:29] urlin2u: oops.. no net. cant wget [04:29] SIFTU, i can run it only by typing its name. does it mean its in $PATH? [04:29] SIFTU, by default ~/bin is in the path (if it exists) [04:29] FriGiN, didn't we talk about actually getting plugged in to get to the net? [04:29] gah i give up [04:30] i told you i cant.. [04:30] Anyone, elinks text terminal connects properly to network printer hosted by cups on a mac. The elinks program is able to do administrative tasks as well as print a test page. However, the 'Applications->System->Printing applet is not able to locate the printer and connect. [04:30] urlin2u: no cable/dls im on my cell phone via tether.. has to have wifi [04:30] mASOUD_42: ah ok.. well I would look at $DISPLAY while running in cron [04:31] SIFTU, ok ty. I'm gonna google the $DISPLAY [04:31] FriGiN, we just need more info to help you that means net access for doing this on that computer. [04:31] mASOUD_42, if you want a cron job to show something visually you need to export DISPLAY=:0 and XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.XAuthority first [04:31] mASOUD_42: you can "echo $DISPLAY" in a terminal.. then get your script to write it out to a file to compare [04:32] FriGiN, I thought I was clear about that, we don't fix what we don't know. [04:32] urlin2u: i am going to try to use easytether see if that works.. it hasnt b4.. but lets hope [04:32] escott: sounds right [04:33] urlin2u: i can dl on this pc, move it via usb to that pc and run it.. [04:33] Hey i got a bit of an issue here... i'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 x64 from a CD and the installer is straightup not working. the only info i can get from it is "Installer has reached an unrecoverable error" [04:33] Does anybody use the vim + ctags to browse the kernel source code? [04:33] escott, export it where? SIFTU , echo $DISPLAY returned :0.0 [04:33] FriGiN, there you go if you can transfer between the two we can look at the boot script. ;-) [04:33] and then it boots into desktop mode. When i select the "help me boot from a CD" in the WUBI installer it gives me a permission denied error [04:34] mASOUD_42: in your script so as escott said [04:34] mASOUD_42, in your script before you call the program which will connect to the Xserver [04:34] anybody maybe able to help me figure out why my netbook wont connect to my network? [04:35] SIFTU, escott , ok,let me try it [04:35] urlin2u: is there a tar for that.. do i just need the .sh file? [04:35] FriGiN, the wget will do it all and ask for a pasword. [04:35] when I try to connect to my router it says "network failed: bad password" but I didnt put it in wrong [04:36] the .sh file is the one run though FriGiN [04:36] url i need to download whatever it is, and move it via usb, then install it.. then paste to pastebin for you.. [04:36] Am I correct in assuming the message "~/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libx264.c:404: undefined reference to `x264_encoder_open_116'" is referring to line 404 in libx264.c? [04:36] so i can just put the .sh file on my usb [04:36] Anyone, elinks text terminal connects properly to network printer hosted by cups `sudo elinks http://192.168.0.100:631` on a mac. The elinks program is able to print a test page; administration gives 403 error. However, the 'Applications->System->Printing applet is not able to locate the printer and connect. [04:36] jukebox-zero: Yes. [04:37] anyone? [04:39] FriGiN, yeah I forgot the deal put it on the computers desktop and run this sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh [04:40] FriGiN, here is the actual site if needed. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [04:40] theadmin: thanks. based on google, man pages, etc I know I'm looking for most likely an unresolved symbol, but this is all kind of new territory to me. This is line 404: " x4->enc = x264_encoder_open(&x4->params); " but I don't really know what I would need to check to see if it's actually bad. C is still a foreign language for me.

[04:47] jukebox-zero: Well... I can't tell anything from this [04:47] theadmin: well, no worries. I'll keep googling a while. === notapuff is now known as puffin [04:49] Anyone, elinks text terminal connects properly to network printer hosted by cups `sudo elinks http://192.168.0.100:631` on a mac.

I have found nothing helpful in Google. [04:49] how do i get the two finger scroll working on ubuntu 11.04? [04:49] escott, there's no .Xauthority in my home directory :( [04:50] anyone wanna help a noob from windows? [04:50] mASOUD_42, what is echo $XAUTHORITY say [04:50] mASOUD_42: I dont think that one is so important as it's running as your user [04:51] Is there a channel for ubuntu sound production? [04:51] how do i get the two finger scroll working on ubuntu 11.04? [04:51] escott, SIFTU it say "/var/run/gdm/auth-for-masoud-pipvLh/database" [04:52] my best guess is it's not finding libx264-dev but it's installed so this is just ... odd. [04:52] mASOUD_42, thats annoying. that location will change with each gdm login. you could create a script that on login copies that file to .Xauthority or symlinks as needed [04:53] escott, you mean create a cron job that runs on every boot? [04:55] mASOUD_42: I would start with "export DISPLAY=:0" in yur script and using full paths when calling your script [04:55] mASOUD_42, no a script that you would add to your gnome-session to make it so your cron session can find the xauth files it needs [04:55] I didnt think cron processed .bashrc and I'm not sure where ~/bin is added to the $PATH [04:56] SIFTU, he needs the authority file too. the display is not enough [04:56] escott: even as his own user? [04:56] SIFTU, absolutely [04:57] hiya friends, I just upgraded my ubuntu box to the latest distro and now the thing just reboots after passing the grub menu. Anyone else experiencing this? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:58] SIFTU, or maybe not, but i would think so [04:58] greg3000, maverick to natty upgrade? [04:58] escott: ok, but man xauth doesn suggest that [04:58] greg3000: Upgrading Ubuntu breaks a lot and is somewhat dangerous. I suggest backing your /home up and reinstalling altogether. [04:58] urlin2u: yes, natty, it gave me the new 2.6.38-10 kernel [05:00] theadmin: gosh, never knew that. at one point I was able to get into repair, but having trouble getting to that point tonight. can I not run some commands to rebuild the initrd or something? I guess I am not the only one who experienced this [05:00] greg3000, boot a ubuntu cd, and run the all the commands together in a terminal and paste bin the RESULTS.txt that will be in home. http://paste.ubuntu.com/667640/ [05:00] greg3000: Hm, I'm not sure how to rebuild initrd on Ubuntu. Try "mkinitcpio", though can't guarantee anything there [05:00] urlin2u: ok I will check it out [05:00] theadmin: ok thanks for the suggestion [05:01] greg3000, theadmin may be correct did you get a clean upgrade? [05:03] urlin2u: this was a minimal 10.10 install running only command line, and so I upgraded from the command line. Everything seemed to work fine, just after rebooting the screen goes off shortly after it passes the grub menu [05:03] then it reboots [05:03] how do i get my touchpad tab to show back up in mouse preferences? [05:04] SIFTU, i think if the Xauthority is in a non-standard place then you need to specify where it is. since mine is in ~/.Xauthority i don't seem to need to do the export provided $HOME is set correctly [05:04] greg3000, okay you might just follow this guide, 3 methods here a load from a Natty only cd or use the third chroot if another ubuntu cd. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy%20LiveCD%20Files [05:05] urlin2u: ok thanks again [05:05] greg3000, if your running headless you could follow this I assume. ;-) [05:06] urlin2u: aye it's a headless box [05:06] greg3000, grub2 is the link I assume here as well. [05:06] mASOUD_42: my try worked [05:07] urlin2u: I think it is grub2, gonna go start hacking away. thanks - will report back [05:07] escott: trying it with .Xauth moved [05:07] date [05:07] greg3000, cool if you had a upgrade that needs restarting there are a couple of commands as well. [05:08] finishing actually* [05:10] escott: yep.. you are right.. ~/.Xauthority has to exist then you dont need to export [05:11] hello all [05:11] SIFTU, thats funny... im on 11.10 and having the exact opposite. mine is promiscous as the enable xhost, but put the xauth back in the right place [05:12] SIFTU, it took me so long to figure out how to deal with gdm putting the xauth file in /var and now im using lightdm and the server just doesnt care [05:12] SIFTU, escott , i changed the script to this http://paste.ubuntu.com/667922/ also i changed the cron tab to absolute path but it didn't work [05:12] whats the diffrence between 'su' command and 'sudo su -' command ??? [05:12] escott: I'm using openbox.. and I cant open anything if I move ~/Xauthority [05:13] harry_: You shouldn't use either of those. [05:13] harry_: You should use "sudo -i" [05:13] hi, i have a question ... i hava an old asus eee 900 netbook wich has 4gb + 8gb ssd ... how i can partition this two drives for ubuntu ? .. can i put entire installation on 4gb and leave 8gb for home ?? ... [05:13] mASOUD_42, the problem you will have is that pipvLH will change every time you login. so you either have to find it each time (you know it will start the same) or force gdm to put the Xauthority in ~/.Xauthority or use xhost to enable host based authentication (less secure) [05:14] harry_: su is for switch user, default is to root which is disabled, sudo su wil get you a root shell but use: sudo -i instead [05:14] theadmin: but when my application runs it ask for the root password and when i supply the root password my application runs under the root privilages and at that time i am not able to assess the "env | grep GDM_LANG" variable. [05:15] mASOUD_42: this worked for me but I have a ~/.Xauthority [05:15] mASOUD_42: http://pastebin.com/pRHhxrRB [05:15] anyone familiar with pbuilder know how to clean up the environment. i built something in it, but now there are a bunch of .deb files in the pbuilder area [05:15] harry_: run the app with sudo and use your own password [05:15] but when i do 'su' command i can asssess the "env | grep GDM_LANG" but when i do 'sudo su -' i am not able to assess it. [05:16] ActionParsnip:its a GUI application launch on Double click. [05:16] harry_: you can launch gui apps with gksudo [05:16] !gksu | harry_ [05:16] harry_: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [05:16] i am usng installerjammer which has no such fasility for it. [05:17] harry_, launching gui apps from su can break your gui config for non-root users [05:17] harry_: fnie, but your OS does [05:17] *fine [05:18] ActionParsnip:but in iNstallljammer there is a build in command for it and i am not able to chnage is sadly. [05:18] escott, SIFTU , well how can i force the gdm to make the .Xauthority? === leon is now known as Guest92717 [05:18] harry_: you are missing the point [05:19] mASOUD_42: not sure on that.. I dont use gdm [05:19] harry_: the command apt-get doesn't "have the facility" just the same, but if you prefix it with sudo it run, it gives the access [05:19] 测试 [05:19] harry_: so you need to make a launcher to run: gksudo command === salmenara is now known as Varanger [05:20] mASOUD_42: probably in you r gdm.conf [05:20] !cn | yetone [05:20] yetone: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [05:20] mASOUD_42, no idea [05:20] Hi bitches [05:21] No i am not missing the point but the problem is i just want to understand the basic thing that what happen if i launch my application when it ask for the root password does it use the command 'su' or 'sudo su -'???just the technical clarification i need [05:21] mASOUD_42: UserAuthDir= [05:21] !guidelines | afschuld [05:21] afschuld: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [05:21] harry_: this will make it run with elevated priveledges, it is moot what the command is so saying install jammer doesn't have the facility is nonesense. There are tools in Ubuntu to give it the access it needs. Hell you can even run web browsers with te extra access and they don't have the facility either [05:21] mASOUD_42: The directory where user's .Xauthority file should be saved. When nothing is specfied the user's home directory is used. [05:21] harry_: there is no root password in Ubuntu [05:21] Hey guys, still trying to resolve a problem I've been having. I have two HDDs, one with Windows 7 and after installing 11.04 Ubuntu on my other HDD I am no longer able to boot the Windows 7 HDD if my Ubuntu HDD is disconnected or if the priority of my W7 HDD is first. I get stuck at "grub>" every time. Can anyone help? [05:22] niche: sounds like you blew away the bootloader for windows [05:22] niche, were you able to get the sdb drive changed in the bios to be read first? [05:22] SIFTU, any way to fix that without formatting Windows? [05:23] harry_: as a user which is what you are, when you launch any app without sudo etc, it runs as your user. That's all [05:23] ActionParsnip:so when i launch my applicationa and it ask for the root password what happnes at time?? [05:23] niche: PM [05:23] urlin2u, yes I was and can boot Ubuntu without a problem as long as it is first priority. However, I do not always have this hard drive connected and it poses a big issue if I can't boot W7 without using the grub loader on the Ubuntu HDD [05:23] niche, you installed grub to the w7 mbr, put it on the other drives mbr, then you can restore the w7 bootloader if you want [05:24] SIFTU, easy fix just needs sdb first read and grub loaded to the mbr of sdb [05:24] harry_: there is no root password so it will fail. The app is running as user. If you prefix the command with gksudo then it will already be running as root and you wil not be challenged [05:24] urlin2u: even when he pulls the linux disk? [05:25] niche, so when yo boot ubuntu did you run sudo update-grub [05:25] SIFTU, not sure [05:25] i plugged in my nikon with a cf card instead, and it appeared on the desktop, but i am unable to write anything onto it (eg. paste) [05:25] urlin2u, yes... I have tried all the tricks to restore the W7 boot [05:25] urlin2u: I dont think he wants grub on his win 7 disk.. its a seperate disk [05:25] ricky26, hi, are you there? yesterday, I asked the question regarding low screen resolution problem. now, I found the cause. [05:25] SIFTU, where is the gdm.conf ? [05:25] SIFTU, I'm not suggesting that. [05:26] SIFTU, sda is windows sdb is linux [05:27] 0.0 [05:27] niche, run this whole wget from the ubuntu terminal and pastebin the RESULTS/text that will be in home. http://paste.ubuntu.com/667640/ [05:27] urlin2u: yeah but when he pulls his linux disk out.. he wants to boot off his windows disk [05:27] SIFTU, I will get the MS bootloader in the sda it is one command [05:28] sgo11: What was it? [05:28] urlin2u: yes. restore the win mbr [05:28] SIFTU, or you can its cool. ;-) [05:28] urlin2u: go for it.. dd bs=512 count=1? I dont have a win mbr [05:28] SIFTU, I'm just concerned all the bootfiles are there the script will tell us. [05:29] mASOUD_42: try in /etc/gdm or something [05:29] hi [05:29] niche, can you run that wget and get the script posted? [05:29] can some one help me ? [05:29] running now [05:29] ricky26, it's just because of the VGA cable. I never knew VGA cables have different versions. one is 3+6 VGA cable. one is 3+4 VGA cable. 3+6 VGA cable supports 1080p. 3+4 VGA cable only supports 1024x768. After changing the VGA cable, the problem is solved. [05:30] sgo11: I never knew that. XD [05:30] niche, cool you have a windows install disc, or a recovery disc? [05:30] ricky26, :) I never knew this either. very weird. [05:30] urlin2u, yes but God only know where it is at. I've moved twice since installing :( [05:31] niche, you will need it or we can put lilo there from a ubuntu disc. [05:31] hi [05:31] i need help please [05:31] anderson: just ask [05:31] can some one help me ? [05:31] ok [05:31] anderson, ask away man.;-) [05:32] urlin2u, http://www.mediafire.com/?q3a6a6re94bxm9v [05:32] i have ubuntu 11 vps [05:32] i need uinstal gui on it [05:32] lilo? [05:32] i need very light gui [05:32] anderson: sudo apt-get install lxde will give a light ui [05:32] i need lighter than lxde [05:33] anderson: twm :) [05:33] Ah, just wikipedia'ed lilo... this will work for a Windows disk? [05:33] anderson: fvwm [05:33] open box or something lik that [05:33] can u give me all the command [05:33] ? [05:33] anderson: then do openbox [05:33] icewm and fluxbox [05:33] can u give me the command ? [05:34] anderson: then change lxde for openbox or whatever you want, same command [05:34] anderson: sudo apt-get install fvwm [05:34] hi all. i'm trying to setup a home server using apache2 + dyndns. I'm not sure if my website is up. http://jumpingcrabs.dyndns.info/ [05:34] what does it mean my touchpad tab doesnt come up in mouse options? [05:34] What text do you see? [05:34] EightySix: sparta [05:34] thanks :D [05:34] but u going to help me on setup vncserver + config the xtratup ? [05:34] anderson: why not just skip the gui and use cli [05:34] niche, here it is for everybody to see, hold on http://paste.ubuntu.com/667936/ [05:34] !vnc | anderson [05:34] anderson: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:34] anyone.... [05:35] yes i need vnc to connect to my vps graphical interface [05:35] anderson: have you ever run openbox before? [05:35] no [05:36] what does it mean my touchpad tab doesnt come up in mouse options? [05:36] anderson: it's a little more than 1 command [05:36] anderson: that guide wil show how to do it more securely. VNC has zero encryption [05:36] anderson: why not configure just with an SSH terminal? [05:36] ok what is the commands ? [05:36] anderson: read the link! [05:36] wich link ? [05:36] niche, so you have a grub file in the windows partition we can manualy remove it from sdb2 [05:37] i already connected to the vps via shh , and waiting to just get the commands [05:37] anderson: read what ubottu said. [05:37] niche, open that partition click on boot and remove anything named grub [05:37] EightySix, THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [05:37] i already installed vnc + lxde + gnome on many servers [05:37] mASOUD_42, Thanks. [05:38] niche sdb2 okay. [05:38] but now the things is change because i need something light [05:38] EightySix, np ;) [05:38] does anybody have experience with the bumblebee hybrid graphics drivers for linux? [05:38] gskelling: yes [05:38] anderson: it makes them use more resources, take longer to boot and makes them less secure [05:38] urlin2u, ok wait so how do I open that partition and delete anything named grub? [05:38] ah, SIFTU [05:38] I'm back =D [05:38] urlin2u, I'm a noober [05:38] gskelling: bad experiences :) well it was working but performance wasnt any good [05:39] i really didnt understand [05:39] bad experiences eh. hm [05:39] because u didnt understand what i want [05:39] anderson: openbox isnt much lighter than lxde.. as lxde uses openbox as it;s WM [05:39] for my laptop, people have found ways to disable both the intel one and the nvidia one, I can't decide which route I should go [05:39] niche, no problem if your in Ubunrtu go to home and look in the side left panel for partitions I can give you a screen shot of what it looks like if wanted. [05:39] ok [05:39] so i install lxde its better than open box ? [05:39] what does it mean my touchpad tab doesnt come up in mouse options? [05:39] gskelling: ok you can disable the intel one? do that [05:40] anderson: its a nicer experience but you can run just openbox [05:40] so this is a non ubuntu q, but i think you guys might know. Can any router be used as an AP ? [05:40] urlin2u, Gotcha. Now how do I find anything named Grub on this large 1TB HDD? lol [05:40] or "repeater" [05:40] anderson: like I said, it doesn't do the server any favours using a gui [05:40] anderson: well not exactly.. but the DE in LXDE isnt that much heavier than plain openbox [05:40] SIFTU, I get much better battery life with just the intel one though [05:40] don-i: I'd ask in ##networking [05:40] gskelling: yeah.. do you game? [05:40] ActionParsnip, thanks :) [05:41] niche, the boot file look here. http://imagebin.org/168271 [05:41] SIFTU, a little, not much [05:41] i need to get connected to my vps via vnc and for do that i need graphical inteface to open browser , open programs etc .. [05:41] Ok guys thanks for the information... [05:41] :) [05:41] anderson: but it's a server, what programs do you need? [05:41] gskelling: well the intel one is fine if you dont.. and with kernel 3.0 is actually pretty good (2000fps in glxgears) [05:41] browser like chromium etc .. [05:42] urlin2u, OK, deleted the Grub folder out of boot, woot. Now is this like a Mac where I have to empty the trash bin? lol [05:42] anderson: then its not a server, its a desktop system [05:42] niche, look on that main page and the boot file for anything grub. [05:42] SIFTU, also disabling the intel graphics card requires me to turn my ASUS laptops SATA mode to "compatible" instead of "Enhanced" which I'm afraid would mess up the performance of my SSD [05:42] ? [05:42] yes i need install desktop on vps [05:42] anderson: why would you want to vnc to a system to run a browser exactly? [05:42] gskelling: you are lucky you have the option.. I'm stuck [05:42] SIFTU, what laptop? [05:43] just to browse and use the vps as desktop as i use my computer desktop [05:43] urlin2u, there was only 1 item inside of the boot folder. It was a folder called Grub and I deleted it. Is there anything else I need to hunt down and delete? I don't know what you mean by main page [05:43] gskelling: dell XPS 15 l502x [05:43] I worked on one of those today! =P [05:43] lol [05:43] anderson: the guide ubottu gave shows how you can use an SSH tunnel to secure vnc [05:43] big huge honkin' things, but they are powerful [05:43] what is the lighter browser on ubuntu [05:43] i think dinno ? [05:44] gskelling: yeah has the i7 quad [05:44] is it hard to get the 3.0 kernel working well on ubuntu 11.04? [05:44] anderson: arora is light, or lynx [05:45] maybe I'll try the intel one with that first, I really don't want to reduce the performance of my ssd [05:45] arora ? [05:45] gskelling: shouldn't be too hard but you won't be supported here as it;s a 3rd party kernel [05:45] gskelling: you could get it from a PPA or manually compile it [05:45] niche, no run the script again so we can see that the grub.image is gone, be sure to tab my nic to. ;-) [05:45] anderson: yes? [05:45] i realy didnt understand your last reply [05:46] tab your nic to? Elaboration? [05:46] niche: means autocomplete.. start typing a nic and press tab [05:46] niche, and paste here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [05:46] lol [05:46] I'm such an idiot [05:48] urlin2u, http://paste.ubuntu.com/667946/ [05:49] anderson: arora is alight browser, you asked for the name of a browser, so I gave arora as a suggestion. [05:49] arora is lighter than dinno ? [05:50] anderson: its a light browser, much lighter than firefox and such [05:50] anderson: define lighter [05:50] anderson: there is also swiftfox and iceweasel [05:50] niche, good job it is gone, now I would prefer putting the MS boot in the mbr, but lilo (another bootloader) works for booting windows [05:51] niche, can you find that MS disc, or you want lilo? [05:51] ok thank u , but i need if u can please just the lighter one on ubuntu [05:51] urlin2u, hmmmmmmm. Let me take a look for that disk. How much trouble is it to do this with lilo? [05:51] anderson: I'm not quite sure. I'd go for arora. If you want the lightest then Lynx will use very few resources and doesn't even need an x server to be present [05:52] niche, just a ubuntu disc boot and opening the universal repo and two commands [05:52] sudo apt-get install Lynx ? [05:52] anderson: lower case l [05:52] anderson: it will work, but has no flash support [05:53] and what is the lighter browser have flash support [05:53] anderson: arora [05:54] QtWeb?? [05:54] anderson: flash will most likely run high cpu usage on the box, depends how much CPU power you have [05:54] Anyone in here have an HP Slate 500? [05:54] urlin2u, so I use the 11.04 Live CD to do it? How do I go about opening the universal repo? [05:54] !gnome3 [05:54] Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [05:55] urlin2u, does lilo have any strange quirks that the Windows bootloader would not have? [05:55] like annoyances when booting the W7 HDD [05:56] anderson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/667953/ <-- take your pick [05:56] niche, open synaptic-settings-repositories first tab tick universe, close those windows leaving synaptic open hit reload then close sysnaptic and open a terminal. [05:57] is it possible to install other releases using nattys' netboot? [05:57] (pxe, preseed) [05:58] thank you very much [05:58] niche, no lilo you will never see it windos bot will show like normal, especially if from the HD. [05:58] windows boot [05:59] flametai1: looks decent [05:59] urlin2u, so when I have both HDDs installed and W7 HDD is top priority, is it going to ask me if I want to boot W7 or Ubuntu? [05:59] niche, windows first in bios will boot like it has a MS bootloader straight in. ;-) [06:00] like magic niche, ;-) [06:00] ello [06:00] ActionParsnip, It is, but I'm unsure if it's possible to put Linux on. And have it operatable of course. Considering Linux can go onto anything. [06:01] ActionParsnip, I saw a thread about it but people were saying the touch didn't work I believe. [06:01] urlin2u, sweet, now what commands do I need to enter when I boot with the Live CD and open universe and terminal? [06:01] flametai1: put ubuntu on an SD card etc and boot to it, see how it goes [06:01] flametai1: assuming it can boot SD card [06:01] niche, so boot the 11.04 let me know if you want those instructions again [06:01] niche, open synaptic-settings-repositories first tab tick universe, close those windows leaving synaptic open hit reload then close sysnaptic and open a terminal. [06:02] whats the panel called thats at the bottom of the screen, i love it but natty doesn't have it by default, i like seeing what apps are open all the time [06:02] ActionParsnip, I suppose I could. Just didn't want to waste my time lol [06:02] urlin2u, I don't understand. So after doing that and opening Terminal, lilo will be installed on my W7 HDD? [06:02] niche we will run one command after you load lilo. [06:03] ugly_duck: probably gnome-panel. Its lxpanel here :) [06:03] Can any one tell me How to get Compiz to work on Kubuntu? I have all of the packages Dl'd... [06:03] niche, just follow these instructions, I will cover you here. open synaptic-settings-repositories first tab tick universe, close those windows leaving synaptic open hit reload then close sysnaptic and open a terminal. [06:03] kk I'm just going to boot and do that and get back into chat [06:04] ActionParsnip, lxpanel? So you are not running Ubuntu then I assume? [06:04] niche, cool I will explain then the two commands after the instructions [06:04] flametai1: lxde is in the repos, it uses lxpanel [06:04] ActionParsnip: thats not to bad actually.. [06:04] but this one only has the trash and thats it [06:05] flametai1: my desktop on my lappy: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Images/Desktop.png [06:05] ugly_duck: natty puts stuff on the top panel [06:06] flametai1: look nito lubuntu ;) [06:06] Aany1 Familiar with Kubuntu? and changing Window managers? [06:06] ActionParsnip, ah, okay then. And oh very interesting! It's colorful :D Something my desktop is not aware of lol! And it sort of reminds me of Kubuntu. [06:06] flametai1: its a lot lighter, its very blue, not too jazzy [06:06] Nubnub: #kubuntu? [06:07] Newest [06:07] just installed 2 days ago [06:07] ActionParsnip: is your power consumption noticably lower with lxde as opposed to other distros? [06:07] dl'd and installed 2 days ago [06:07] s/lxde/lubuntu/ [06:07] Nubnub: i'm saying your question would be better answered in #kubuntu [06:07] its the Wweb server version amd 64 === Mud is now known as Guest30760 [06:08] o thanks [06:08] ActionParsnip, my desktop that doesn't see color much :D lmao http://i51.tinypic.com/317gt8i.png [06:09] flametai1: looks groovy [06:10] Also, ActionParsnip, LibreOffice, are those closer to microsoft office than OpenOffice? I've been looking for a replacement for Microsoft Office on Linux other than OpenOffice, it doesn't seem to cut it for me. [06:10] And considering I need them as close as possible for college. [06:10] It would be helpful to find it [06:11] flametai1: libreoffice is a fork of openoffice, so is very similar [06:11] Ah okay. [06:11] flametai1: not sure what the difference is. I just use what's there. There are plenty of comparison sites talking about the differences [06:12] flametai1: tbh, I usually pull it off and just use abiword, I don't fully use openoffice so I save resources (makes a faster pc :)) === evil is now known as Guest1303 [06:13] sup [06:13] ActionParsnip, I like the no format option in abiword, works in capture off the web the others wont. [06:13] Does IE9 support SNI? [06:13] no fromat paste* [06:13] ActionParsnip, faster pc is always good :) [06:13] Snicers-Home: IE9 isnt an ubuntu app so is offtopic here [06:14] flametai1: I need it, all my sysyems are old [06:14] Snicers-Home, try #windows [06:15] help i forgot how to turn on drivers [06:16] I know that all too well, I used to run on a machine with only 128mb ram. I'm currently only running 2gns of ram and AMD Athlon processor 2.1Ghz [06:16] gbs* well the heck with my typo's tonight. [06:17] (whi isnt it in aditional drivers?) [06:17] speedrunnerG55, name the graphic card? [06:17] nvidia gforce 6200 [06:17] speedrunnerG55, help will arrive. ;-) [06:17] i had it working before, but i removed the driver and reinstalled it, now its not in use [06:17] urlin2u, I'm back [06:18] speedrunnerG55: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [06:18] niche-LiveCD, col you want the instructions again. [06:18] nah I remember [06:18] cool niche, [06:19] urlin2u, however, I do not remember how to open synaptic-settings-repositories [06:19] ok do i have to restart now? [06:19] or I should say ever known [06:19] niche-LiveCD, click the applications button and open synaptic [06:19] Also, ActionParsnip, I have no SD cards so I am going to attempt it with a USB boot [06:20] package manager? [06:20] mo'K [06:20] niche-LiveCD, search with synaptic then open [06:20] it still says its not in use, should i restart? [06:20] I'm at the final stage of my problem... But I need help with one more thing... [06:21] 0_0 [06:21] I'm on a MacBook with BootCamp (don't have admin; it's school laptop) and the bios can't be accessed. [06:21] So I've got an amd phenom II 4-core box and it's having trouble booting ubuntu. Trouble started after an upgrade to 11.04, but I just downloaded a copy of ubuntu server 64bit, burned it to CD, and this system still reboots near the start of the boot-up sequence. [06:21] imah try to reboot. [06:21] Could I put a bios ISO on a cd and then choose to run off my ehd? [06:21] ill come back if there is still anny issues [06:21] brave soul [06:22] urlin2u, not finding anything in synaptic package manager that says universe [06:22] where should I be looking [06:22] niche-LiveCD, synaptic-settings-repositories first tab tick universe, close those windows leaving synaptic open hit reload then close sysnaptic and open a terminal. [06:23] my icons wont minimize to the tray. I've deleted the top panel, and moved everything to the bottem. I've included INDICATOR APPLET ALL. Why wont things show up in the systems tray ? [06:23] niche-LiveCD, your not searching in synaptic but opening these in the top panel [06:24] NEVERMIND, it's because I didnt add "Notification container" [06:25] urlin2u, so you want me to Un-tick Community-maintained Open Source Software (universe) ? [06:26] I take that back. XCHAT still wont show up in the minimized tray [06:26] niche-LiveCD, don't untick anything first tab at the top far left 2nd line universe tick on. [06:27] urlin2u, it already had a checkmark then. What do I need to do now [06:27] When I 'x' out of xchat it asks "minimize to tray ?". I won't show in the tray when I minimize it. I look at the processes and it's still running. It's in the tray right now, but I didn't close it [06:27] its still isnt in use [06:27] i thought there was a way to turn it on but i dont remember [06:27] niche-LiveCD, close those windows leave synaptic open and hit reload let it run then close it and open a terminal. [06:27] There is, it asks me and I say yes [06:28] urlin2u, roger, ready for next step [06:28] were? [06:28] It used to work before I went customizing the panels [06:28] Does anyone here know where I can find manuals for ubuntu and terminal command usage etc in French. I have installed 11.04 on my grandsons and daughters computers and they are very much needing instructions in their mother tongue, any help would be greatly appreciated [06:28] rawfodog, did you restart xchat ? [06:28] many times [06:28] niche-LiveCD, so where are yo at. [06:28] you [06:28] Terminal [06:28] Its in the minimize panel now, but the program window is active [06:28] lets just for being care run the sudo fdisk -l to make sure sdb is still the windows drive [06:29] can i at least know here it is? [06:29] niche-LiveCD, look above [06:29] The second I ex it out, it SHOULD be in the panel, the process manager shows it is running, and on default gnome set up it would still show. [06:29] For me however, after deleteing the panel and putting everying into one panel, it doesn't show [06:29] like a general idea of where i can find it? [06:29] i dont know why it wouldnt be right in aditional drivers, [06:30] its like i have to go on a scavenger hunt [06:30] urlin2u, sda2 is my W7 partition [06:30] :( [06:30] niche-LiveCD, are you sure the script said sdb hd. [06:30] i know i did it before [06:30] And for me I am having a problem when I open anything in places instead of opening documents I bring up a picture etc [06:31] hello?

[06:33] speedrunnerG55: find what? [06:33] where i can aturn on my video driver [06:33] niche-LiveCD, it is ada2 [06:33] turn [06:33] sda2 [06:33] urlin2u, you mean sda2? [06:33] its not in use [06:33] urlin2u, kk if you say so! [06:34] niche-LiveCD, yes you ran the reload in synaptic correct? [06:34] ubuntu = virus stuxnet ? [06:34] urlin2u, yes I did [06:34] niche-LiveCD, cool here is a link with two commands run both and your set hold on, I will pastebin it. [06:34] * speedrunnerG55 pokes i42n [06:35] speedrunnerG55: You can not use Unity? Or do you just want to have 3D accelleration? [06:35] i want 3d acseleration, i dont like unity [06:35] Virus Stuxnet = Ubuntu ? [06:36] What Graphics Card do you use? [06:36] niche-LiveCD, http://paste.ubuntu.com/667976/ [06:37] niche-LiveCD, run the commands individually in that order. [06:37] i use an nvidea force 6200 [06:37] speedrunner if you log out and look below your user name you can load 11.04 in classic and it will be like 10.10 as far as using gnome [06:38] urlin2u, says I have to run liloconfig(8) when process is completed or it won't work [06:38] urlin2u, is that still ok? [06:38] speedrunnerG55: go to system menu and look for something like restricted drivers. [06:38] i know [06:38] niche-LiveCD, ignore that as the link says [06:38] kk [06:38] ok ill try that [06:39] niche-LiveCD, only error you will ever love. ;-) [06:39] urlin2u, lol. Alright well it's time to test it out [06:39] speedrunner, I also think that unity sux [06:39] i couldnt fiind that [06:39] niche-LiveCD, yeah you should be able to boot windows from grub and that HD now. [06:40] urlin2u, won't be back on if it works, wife is about to kill me now. Thanks so much, I'm grateful for your help I would be lost without it! [06:40] niche-LiveCD, no problem you want gthe one command from a windows disc to replace lilo if you want [06:40] urlin2u, sure [06:41] there is aditional drivers but its only tlling me its not in use [06:41] niche-LiveCD, bootrec.exe /fixmbr [06:41] * speedrunnerG55 cries [06:41] niche-LiveCD, from the repair terminal on booted windows disc. [06:41] i was onlly doing as my a+ book told me to [06:42] I asked over in ubuntu-server but nobody's home it seems, is there any known problem / bugs with Ubuntu 11.04-Server and Samba, Ive' been trying for hours to setup a simple share, even with SWAT ans still no joy. [06:42] urlin2u, great. Saved for future reference. Thanks again [06:42] i dont know hat to do [06:42] speedrunnerG55: I think that's the correct settings window. Try to enable the graphics driver there. [06:42] niche-LiveCD, no problem glad we got here. ;-) [06:42] there isnt a wayt, its activated but "not in use" [06:43] speed what are you trying to do? [06:43] make it be in use [06:44] I read back but not seeing what you are trying to do [06:44] speedrunnerG55: did you modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [06:45] What should I check if I get an "no such file or directory" when executing an _existing_ file with _proper_ permissions on an ext4 partition? [06:45] its not a symlink [06:45] the file is real there [06:45] having right permissions [06:46] i removed the driver, because i removed a simmilar card and put a new one in thinking i should get a new driver for it [06:46] brubelsabs: you execute the file with ./filename ? I mean so you are sure the file execute from your PATH. [06:46] nighter: Yes I execute it with ./lmutils [06:46] brubelsabs: file ./lmutils [06:46] Just logging on to say it works perfectly! Woooo woooo! [06:47] speedrunnerG55: How did you remove it? [06:47] * Niche does a dance while holding a trout [06:47] in aditional driver, i clicked remove [06:47] ELF 64-bit binary [06:47] speedrunnerG55: ok, and now you can not install it again. [06:47] even strace gave me the hint that some file was not found [06:47] hm [06:48] new laptop, sound does not work. Any ideas? [06:48] strace lmutil [06:48] execve("./lmutil", ["lmutil"], [/* 110 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [06:48] i did, but its not in use [06:49] speedrunnerG55: oh ok. do you have a config manager of nvidia installed? it should come with the driver. [06:50] mountoptions: /dev/sda3 on /local type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) [06:50] config manager? there is a configuration tool thingu in administration [06:50] nich [06:51] yay trout dancing, [06:51] I need a streaming-radio app like windows' "tuneradio" ... what shall I download? [06:51] speedrunnerG55: what i mean is directly from nvidia. [06:52] Good morning, does someone know whether I can coax apt-get to download an older version of a package from a ppa? [06:52] idk [06:52] where would that be? in the home folder as a .somehting? [06:52] eviscares: apt-get install packagename=1.2.3.4 [06:52] eviscares: where 1.2.3.4 is the version number [06:52] eviscares, sure be careful no other are installed watxh the dependencies [06:52] how do i reinstall all gnome related back to original values, all, i can not play flash in firefox, chrome, opera, i try purge and so on, i need to reinstall all gnome with al /etc /usr/etc files ...any ideas? [06:52] watch* [06:53] speedrunnerG55: for me its in system menu. like synaptic etc. [06:53] urlin2u: but how can I force him to take an older version? In the repo I use the newest version is 1.4, but I need 1.3 cause 1.4 is still too buggy [06:54] there isnt annything in my system menue exept other options [06:54] nighter: libc6: "No such file or directory" error when attempting to execute LSB executable without lsb-core [06:54] brubelsabs: you run an 64 bits os?

[06:54] yes [06:55] it was solved now by installing lsb-core [06:55] eviscares, put the ppa in sources.list with the concurrent release of that package, run a update, install then put a # in front of the ppa in the sources list [06:55] speedrunnerG55: what about opening a terminal and entering nvidia. then douvle press tab. anything there? [06:55] but this is very uninformative :) [06:55] I meant the error message [06:55] but once again a good google search phrase did it :D [06:56] urlin2u: that might work. thanks [06:56] eviscares, did you look on the web for a deb of the package first? [06:56] nighter: bye [06:56] eviscares, you could down load the tar if one there or a deb.

[07:15] urlin2u, I was trying to adjust the appearance of things, and then some things got disabled and now I am stuck. [07:15] is it possible to set up symantec netbackup on ubuntu? [07:16] zamba: yes, but if you are using 64bit it's a very VERY dirty hack, 32bit is less [07:16] anyone? the people in #php-gtk are all idle [07:16] gskelling: not really something we support [07:16] Lewis29, in the termoinal ubuntu-tweak and it will open [07:16] I see [07:17] it has a couple of ubuntu only related issues [07:17] so I thought i'd try [07:17] Lewis29, same fro firefox [07:17] for [07:17] gskelling: how is it ubuntu related ? [07:17] ikonia, just the issues during install [07:17] ikonia: tell me about it :) [07:17] installing it on ubuntu requires a few extra steps [07:17] vs other linux distros [07:17] ikonia: and i'm of course running 64-bit :) [07:17] at least thats what I think [07:18] gskelling: what issue during install [07:18] zamba: the honest answer is, even symatic don't support it (I know their website says they do) but they don't support anything beyond 8.04 due to the dirty hacks, [07:18] ikonia, in this one tutorial I found for php-gtk on ubuntu it says "We need to patch the PHP-GTK source because Ubuntu is using a version of libtool which appears to be different than what other distributions are using." [07:18] i lose mine secret key,how could i find it?

[07:22] the app however IS supported in the ubuntu repos.. =\ [07:22] !fa [07:22] just requires php-gtk to run the gui [07:22] hmm [07:22] Anyone familiar familiar with subsonic? just dl it but do not see it anywhere in menu. Alt+F2 and "subsonic" doesn't launch it either. Anyone? [07:22] gskelling: which application ? [07:22] livingdaylight, hold on [07:23] ikonia, phoronix test suite [07:23] gskelling: I'm not aware of it [07:23] i love you) [07:23] livingdaylight, subsonic can be accessed with a browser. Point the IP address to 127.0.0.1 and whatever port you set [07:23] wisevoyager: it would appear that package is not packaged correctly, where did you get it ? [07:23] livingdaylight, how did you install? [07:23] viktor35: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support only, thanks. [07:23] viktor35, did you have an ubuntu support question? [07:24] ikonia, I'm using Backbox linux 10.04 lucid lynx [07:24] urlin2u, I was going to from getdeb, but went to the subsonic Homepage and dl from there. Navigated to Downloads in Terminal and installed it with sudo dpkg -i [07:24] wisevoyager: that's not something we support here, we only support ubuntu here [07:25] viktor35, this is not place to express your personal issues [07:25] livingdaylight, gskelling, has an answer [07:26] ikonia: I'm using ubuntu 10.04 backbox version.. [07:26] urlin2u, livingdaylight@pebble:~$ subsonic Started Subsonic [PID 2408, /var/subsonic/subsonic_sh.log] [07:26] urlin2u, but don't see anything [07:26] urlin2u, ok [07:26] wisevoyager, blackbox? or backtrack [07:26] gskellig, just ping me when you're ready - thanks in advance [07:27] livingdaylight, I wouldn't know without installing and messing around with it. [07:27] any idea what would cause an ssh login (before password) to hang until a timeout? [07:27] bazhang, backbox linux [07:27] livingdaylight, its running but can only be accessed with a web browser. [07:27] urlin2u, no worries [07:27] gskellig, I see! [07:27] livingdaylight, I can't remember what the default port is for subsonic, I'm looking it up now [07:28] gskellig, so, need to go to FF and open an account [07:28] livingdaylight, it should be able to be accessed by opening a web browser and pointing it to http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost:4040 [07:28] yeah [07:28] wisevoyager, that's not supported here try alis for their support channel [07:28] wisevoyager: backbox is not supported here. it's not an official version of Ubuntu. [07:29] livingdaylight, all the info you need can be found here: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/getting-started.jsp [07:29] !alis | wisevoyager [07:29] wisevoyager: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [07:29] also livingdaylight its a very cool app. I love it for android. [07:29] hello [07:29] popey, thanks! [07:29] streams my own music collection flawlessly to my phone without taking up my ENTIRE phones sdcard [07:30] bazhang, thanks.. [07:30] gskellig, sorry, about that. I'll dig in there and see if I can figure it out. I did think it was a great idea but rather more straightforward than that. Not sure working through a browser is a great solution [07:30] urlin2u : i upgrade my ubuntu but, i can't use unity yet [07:31] livingdaylight, its not made to be a normal media player, its meant to be able to stream your music collection to any computer/smartphone in the world instantly [07:31] its a media server application [07:31] HSarena, was it a graphic card driver issue as I remember? [07:32] HSarena, can you refresh me? [07:32] nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M GS] [07:32] gskellig, yes, but would prefer if the server wasn't run through a browser but had its own stand-alone application, if you see what I mean [07:32] gskellig, the page you linked doesn't say where these settings are? [07:32] HSarena, I am not good in this area, but others are. [07:32] hi, yesterday i successfully installed my printer driver (brother mfc-5460cn). now i want to install the scanner and fax drivers. i got to this page explaining how to do it http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1a.html, yet i dont know exactly what to type into the terminal. [07:32] can someone help me? [07:32] i did a recursive gcon2ftool deal i mess everything in gnome in this i386 in maverick, how can i revert/restore all gnome values to defaults? [07:33] ok, thank U ;-) [07:33] hi ! I have setup a ppa server. One of the .deb have problem so I unpack it with "ar", correct the code and pack it back with "ar", after that I replace the .deb in ppa and update "content-length" in the corresponding head file. However, my client got "size-mismatch", after issuing apt-get. What mistake have I made in the process ? [07:33] ;-) [07:33] livingdaylight, once you can access the subsonic web interface, you can do everything from there. its like setting up a router [07:33] just click settings =P [07:34] you might need to login [07:36] hi.. i wanna login with unity mode but indicates this error === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [07:37] HSarena, there is a additional drivers app in the menu look if there is one waiting. [07:37] "It seem that you do not have hardware require to run Unity. Please choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen and you will using the traditional environment" [07:38] urlin2u : i don't understand [07:38] gskellig, that's it I don't knwo how to access the subsonic we interface. I been lookng on their homepage but that isn't it === deegee__ is now known as drussell [07:38] how can i rebuild all my gnome settings? not just the ones in my $HOME but all the system wide gnome modifications i made and restore that to defaults without killing my system in the process (reinstall i386 maverick)? [07:39] *web [07:39] HSarena, log into the classic you can choose it at login, in the menu is a application called additional drivers. You want to run a update and upgrade first though. [07:39] or should i reinstall? [07:39] livingdaylight, typing http://localhost didn't work? or http://localhost:4040 [07:39] dzup, got any ppa? [07:39] into firefox? [07:39] gskellig, my bad. Am I supposed to type that into a terminal? [07:40] no livingdaylight into firefox. It's a website [07:40] Hey guys, quick question, is there a difference between Wine and WineHQ? o.O WineHQ is just Wine's official site correct? Or is there actually another Wine called WineHQ? Was reading a forum and someone mentioned to try "WineHQ" but never clarified what they meant. [07:40] dzup, more importantly , got a separate /home partition? [07:40] gskellig, ok, lol [07:40] it's a website hosted on your computer. [07:40] bazhang: no, i can put everything back but only if i can have gconf2 settings back to normal [07:40] Ooooh, i understand [07:40] flametai1, the channel #winehq [07:40] gskellig, ok, and now I'm invited to register an account, ok.. Seriously, I'm a noob, lol [07:41] urlin2u : there is 3 drivers [07:41] urlin2u : which one i have to install???? [07:41] HSarena, have you run a update and upgrade [07:41] urlin2u : yes [07:41] bazhang: then if i get everything back to defaults settings i promise you i will not ever do a recursive gconf2 deal :( [07:42] urlin2u : just 1 hours ago [07:42] HSarena, do any of them resemble your graphic card? [07:42] what's the shortcut for moving between TABS in KONSOLE? [07:42] alt-shift-arrow? [07:43] livingdaylight, I'm not familiar with newer versions of subsonic, when I installed it I just went to http://localhost:4040 and started setting it up [07:43] urlin2u : there are 3 nvidia drivers [07:43] make an account if you want, I dunno up to you [07:43] how can i completly format a hdd on linux? [07:43] remove all data in secure way [07:43] rethus1, gparted live cd [07:44] it's a usb-hdd [07:44] fdisk! [07:44] gskellig, do you have to create a username or just the password (its what it seems) and there seems to be a default /var/music path set. But I change that to /home/username/Music ? [07:44] HSarena, this is where I can't really help, so we are farther along though as far as important info others would probably need to help. [07:44] filsuf: Should be ctrl-shift-pgup/pgdown [07:44] fdisk only change partition-table... seems nbot to erase all given data on it [07:44] rethus1, its a 60mb iso [07:44] Axlin: doesnt work [07:44] filsuf: Er, without shift, rather. [07:45] it used to work though [07:45] same shit [07:45] filsuf, no cursing [07:45] urlin2u : ok, thanks u, i think i can fix it ;-) [07:45] not for me [07:45] Hello! Please help me....where can I set up the default profile? I copied .gconf and .gnome2 to /etc/skel but it's not working...it's still loading from somewhere else [07:45] HSarena, cool. [07:45] hi, my lower panel is auto hided and wont show up again.. How can i fix this? [07:45] livingdaylight, I can't remember, like I said I haven't used it in awhile. If you're at the web interface you're on the right track though. Remember the point of subsonic is to share your music with any computer in the world, so a username and password are a good idea to prevent any random stranger from getting to it [07:46] bazhang: if i apt-get --purge gnome ...and the reinstall it will erase all those "custom" systemwide modifications i made erlier? [07:46] livingdaylight, if I remember their website is pretty helpful, they have a good FAQ section and some decent walkthroughs [07:46] filsuf: When you say "Konsole", are you referring to GNOME/Unity, or KDE? [07:46] Axlin: Konsole is the KDE terminal emulator [07:46] hey, need help with dir permessions..i have a parent dir P to whichi have given some recursive permissions which are applied to sub-dir s1. Now i create a new sub-dir s2, is there any way that child dir takes the permission of parent dir [07:46] gskellig, ok, thanks again for everything and pointing me in the right direction :D [07:46] rethus1: try a command called "shred" [07:46] dzup, no, not sure what you modified however [07:47] filsuf: Thought so. You should be able to go into Settings->Shortcuts, to see what it's assigned to. [07:47] how secure is erase th hdd on this way? Is there a way to restore the data? [07:47] bazhang: you know a way to get defaults values back into gnome? === gskelling is now known as Gskellig [07:48] rethus: it's very secure [07:48] or is it better to rewrite each sector of the hdd with dd if=/dev/zero /dev/sdb ? [07:48] rethus: no, that's not very secure [07:48] rethus: if you look up shred you'll see it overwrites the area multiple times [07:49] rethus: making recovery nearly impossible [07:49] oh, :) this helped me, especially post #16: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1201800&page=2 [07:49] shred is a cmd-commend? [07:49] rethus: yes [07:50] rethus: "man shred" for more info [07:50] k, but seems this only works wor single files, not for a complete partition [07:52] rethus: no, it works on partitions also [07:54] goodmorning [07:54] now i only need a hdd test-tool which return a nice report of hdd-health [07:54] rethus, you can join my mission to get phoronix test utility working [07:54] its a really good benchmarking and testing utility, but I can't get the gui to work =/ [07:56] Gskelling: sorry, have no time for that... i'm very busy and only search for a working tool [07:57] is x2go availbale in the new ubunt 11.10 or is there one alternative?? [07:57] =P I know haha [07:57] rethus: smartctl [07:57] it was worth a shot [07:57] it might work for you actually [07:57] i cant figure out why it wont work for me === tholl583xx is now known as tolland [07:59] drussle: mhh this old hdd has no smart support :( [08:00] Hi, which is the best backup software for ubuntu, i want save my actual ubuntu state, files is less important... [08:02] rethus: then there's pretty much nothing you can do, apart from run a check for badblocks on a regular basis [08:05] jose__, best is relative to any user, clonezilla will image the whole thing. You can also save a file of all installed apps and the source list, other methods as well, I use these. [08:07] ok urlin2u, u know if clonezilla can write in ext4? [08:07] i want my hdd image in other partition with ext4 format [08:08] jose__, oh yes it packages to ntfs ext, and others. [08:09] urlin2u, ok i will try that later, thx! [08:09] jose__, no problem .;-) [08:11] hello [08:12] anyone? [08:12] nobody but us sleeping dogs [08:13] lol [08:13] We're dogs now? I thought we were chickens.

[08:15] rww: i'm a chicken [08:15] atdprhs, the os-prober is what searches for other OS's so in the external terminal sudo apt-get remove os-prober. [08:15] anyon know the terminal command that updates everything.is it apt-get? [08:16] Could not access /dropbox/ (not WebDAV-enabled?): [08:16] ryry: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [08:16] thanks [08:16] can I edit it manually?

[08:21] thank you urlin2u, is there anything else I should do? [08:21] why can't I *read* ubuntuforums.org pages without registering first? it's so unnecessary, I don't want to post, just read [08:22] atdprhs, here is a grub2 wiki . https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading [08:22] Halabund, old posts that may not be as relevent. [08:22] urlin2u, well, every time I google, I end up on a page like that [08:23] thank you urlin2u [08:23] Halabund, there were complaints of new users running wrong stuff I believe.

Make a .deb that unpacks file(s) to a temporary directory. (I know how to do this) 2. use a postinst script to find the MyApp.app directory, re-name the originals of the files to be copied (For backup purposes), and then copy the files from the "tmp" folder, to the MyApp.app folder.

[09:36] Can someone walk me through moving the entire .wine folder from one HDD to another? I'm a complete noob with wineprefix and wine itself, and I'm not getting a lot of help in #winehq. I've googled, but most results are just moving the c drive, not the whole wine folder :/ [09:37] mang0, what kinds of things do you have installed with Wine? [09:37] mainrain: #winehq would be the best place to ask [09:38] Peddy: Games, Ableton live, a couple of others... [09:38] mang0, you'd need to copy the .desktop files (the launchers) that are not in .wine as well. Apart from that, all should work by just copying it. [09:39] domedagen: any progress? === KindOne is now known as MeanOne [09:39] but doesn't wine have to detect where the programs are? Or can I really just sort out the .desktop and move the whole .wine folder? [09:39] I am trying to boot Ubuntu-11.04-amd64.iso off of a live USB in an Apple Mac Book Pro (I'm using rEFIt). On booting, I get the following logs (I had to write them down on paper and type them out after rebooting to OSX so I only picked the ones I thought significant): http://codepad.org/a9MwAnLC and Ubuntu doesnt boot. Can someone please take a look and point out what I am doing wrong? [09:39] Peddy: but doesn't wine have to detect where the programs are? Or can I really just sort out the .desktop and move the whole .wine folder? [09:40] mang0, I'm looking for a .desktop file, to see what it's like - do you happen to know where they're located? [09:40] Hello [09:40] Peddy: I was about to ask the same thing! [09:41] I've got no idea where .desktop stuff is :/ [09:41] mang0, from what I remember, there is nothing unique to your hard drive in the launcher - but if the path to .wine is different, you'll need to change that [09:41] mang0, e.g. if the other computer has a different username [09:42] Peddy: For example, I want to move it from this harddrive to my other one; /mnt/HDD2 [09:42] not to a differant computer [09:42] mang0, by the way, the .desktop files are in /home/yourname/.local/share/applications/wine [09:43] mang0, oh, I see. Well, in that case, the easiest thing to do would be to move it, then make a symbolic link to .wine in your home directory [09:43] Peddy: Okay. So if I move the .wine folder to where I want it, then change the .desktop files, It'll be sorted? [09:43] oh [09:43] okay [09:43] the above way is much easier and takes 2 seconds :D [09:43] yeah haha [09:43] Thanks [09:43] do you know how to do the linking? [09:44] archman: Yes [09:44] Peddy: right click on the folder > create link > put it where I want it? [09:44] hi there [09:44] mang0, that should work, the command line is 'ln -s' but this does the same thing i think [09:44] archman: I'm using the liveCD and I've completed every step but those requering a reboot [09:44] I have problem, after i install ubuntu 11.04 sometimes my mouse does't working i mean i can't clicking but the touchpad is ok [09:44] mang0, how long will .wine take to move?

[09:45] Peddy: let's find out! :P [09:45] archman: Think I'll reinstall ubuntu now [09:45] archman: Because I belive in this tutorial [09:45] Peddy: it's moving 2gb [09:45] domedagen: if you have an installed ubuntu, that would be wise [09:45] Does anyone know, if there is a official documentation for the preseed implementation in ubuntu?

[09:50] after i install ubuntu 11.04 [09:51] HSarena, have you installed all the updates from update manager? [09:52] Peddy, I install all updates and upgrade it just about 2 hours ago [09:52] HSarena, I think a workaround is to press ctrl-alt-d twice [09:52] archman, im downloading ubuntu 10.04 , was wondering how long I can use that when support stops and have to move to next LTS version [09:52] mang0, how's it going? [09:52] cillo564: as long as you want [09:53] Peddy: Everything is working apart from steam [09:53] cillo564: april 2012 for desktops and april 2013 (i think) for servers [09:53] Peddy, i think nothing happened [09:53] mang0, and what's the steam i ssue? [09:53] issue* [09:53] ikonia: do you happen to know how to edit the shutdown dialog? i would like to use some other command for "hibernate".. [09:53] Peddy: steam has confused itself with playonlinux mixed with wine. I tried playonlinux and I didn't like it, but now I've uninstalled steam still doesn't like it heh [09:53] HSarena, does the problem still occur with a mouse plugged in? [09:54] archman: as I recall it's done through themes [09:54] Peddy: It's under control D:< I'm getting there haha [09:54] mang0, the solution is to reinstall steam! :D goodnight, good luck! [09:54] archman: it's actually not a config file, but part of the theme you use. [09:54] ikonia: how should i search for it? any keywords? [09:54] Goodnight lol [09:54] ikonia: oh... [09:54] archman: no idea, I've done it before in a 9.10 theme ages ago, I don't know if that's the only/best way [09:55] ikonia: are you talking about the main gtk theme, or the theme for that dialog? [09:55] archman: more so I don't know if that's still true in 11.04 with unity [09:55] ikonia: i'm on lucid [09:55] archman: the gnome gtk theme, sets colours, etc etc [09:55] ikonia: aaah, ok, cheers! [09:55] archman: I'd imagine it's still true then of 10.04 [09:55] Peddy, i said that, sometimes i can't clicking but the touchpad is ok, just can't clicking [09:55] archman: don't holod me to that though [09:56] Hi, anyone know a good offline english dictionary? preferably cli. [09:56] ikonia: is there any other channel where i could ask that?

[09:59] ChristianAdamski: firebug isn't packaged by ubuntu, it's a plugin you download, so if the problem is with firebug - ubuntu can't really do anything about it [10:00] ikonia - yes, but there were lots of ppl with a similar problem on Windows - and there it was related to some extension called Roboform - so they don't seem to note this UBuntu problem [10:00] FF6 ?! i updated to 5 like 2 month ago... [10:00] ChristianAdamski: ubuntu can't make firebug note this problem [10:00] ikonia: maybe its local with me, I just would like some confirmation [10:00] ikonia: even more wow is that since firefox 6's release mozilla is only supporting it for 1 and a half months [10:00] my mouse does't clicking, i can just move the pointer, plz help me, i can't fix it [10:01] wildbat: a gay chrome-like approach to versioning now [10:01] auronandace: seems a bad decision, [10:01] hi, is it possible to use shred on patitions, not on disk?

[10:02] hi, i can't reach ##c , how can i join ? Or am i use wrong way? [10:02] HSarena - try unplugging it, try touchpad, try another mouse [10:03] archman: that last comment rocks, no offence people :) [10:03] heh [10:03] I seem to have somehow broken mysql on my ubuntu install...the mysql script in init.d is missing and isn't replaced when trying to reinstall mysql-server with apt-get. Anyone able to help me out? [10:04] i guess it makes them have more clicks on their website that way [10:04] dzup, archman - I actually don't agree, FF is implementing new features a lot faster now [10:04] ChristianAdamski: i have tocuhpad, and it's ok, but i don't know why i can't clicking [10:04] HSarena - can you click using the touchpad? [10:05] and have you tried an external mouse? [10:05] ChristianAdamski: no [10:05] Xanius - can you start mysqld manually? [10:05] HSarena - try an external mouse please, maybe ubuntu has trouble with your touchpad [10:05] so, anybody knows if I can use "shred" command to partitions? [10:05] ChristianAdamski, no I can't. [10:05] Xanias - reason? [10:06] Apocalypse_dn: try and see?;p [10:06] I think I may have accidently deleted the file in a 5am haze the other night...not entirely sure [10:06] Apocalypse_dn: Use dd and have input from /dev/null or /dev/random === G-Style[work] is now known as G-Style[away] [10:06] i am trying to mount a hfs+ external drive on my ubuntu system, via usb, can anyone help [10:06] Xanius - if opening a terminal and typing "sudo mysqld" what happens? [10:07] how do i "find" the drive ? [10:07] wildbat, with joy, but i am afraid to loose all the data on hdd [10:07] ChristianAdamski : U mean, it could't fix, is there any drivers or package that i have to install it [10:07] emmkai: lsusb [10:07] ChristianAdamski, Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' [10:08] Polah, shred, as i know writes random data cultiple times, so it's more reliable then /dev/ramdom [10:08] Polah: but this doesn't give me the /dev/s* address [10:08] multiple* [10:08] Xanius - did you restart? Maybe the old instance still running? [10:08] Polah: hello, i've been testing that DNS stuff you helped me with, and i still get "Waiting for..." sometimes, although it's fewer now [10:08] i think i need "sudo mount - hfsplus /dev/sd**** /media" [10:09] oops, that was just sudo mysql... sudo mysqld goes to a new line and has a flashing cursor. There's no feedback on screen [10:09] HSarena: I did not understand that - however, there is the possibilty, that Ubuntu has no drivers for your touchpad - try an external mouse, see if that works, than try to find a solution [10:09] Apocalypse_dn: Just use /dev/null and it'll blank it then [10:09] Rebooting the machine really quick [10:09] Apocalypse_dn: just becareful with what you passing in shred then if you pass it a disk it shred a disk if you pass it a partition it wipe the parition [10:10] archman: Hmm, I don't know why it would drop in and out like that. I guess there's some problem between your system and contacting the DNS servers [10:11] Polah: i need the location of the drive to put in [here]: sudo mount -t hfsplus [here] /media [10:11] it's supposed to be /dev/ something, right ? [10:12] emmkai: Hmm, I don't know how to get the identifier for USB mounted drives. I'm sure there'd be a page on the Ubuntu wiki for it though [10:12] emmkai: sudo fdisk -l [10:12] Polah, google says shred leaves smaller chance to recover [10:12] ChristianAdamski, ok. Rebooted. Sudo mysqld gives no feedback. sudo mysql now says access denied for root@localhost [10:12] wildbat: how do i know which one it is ? [10:13] hello geek crowd! [10:13] Apocalypse_dn: Shred writes random data, dd using /dev/null writes 0s. They're basically the same thing just with different values written [10:13] emmkai: whichever the one matches the description [10:13] question: how to join xyz.zip.001 xyz.zip.002 ....... xyz.zip.124 in ubuntu? [10:13] Xanius - sounds good, mysql is working - it just maybe uses the wrong configuration? I think you should take this to #mysql now (or similar) [10:14] Xanius [10:14] oops :) [10:14] wildbat: for mistake i tried "sudo frisk -l" when i had not feet connected the drive, but there is no other entry when i've connected it [10:14] K, thanks. :) [10:15] Xanius - try to connect via mysql -u root -p [10:15] and use your normal Ubuntu password [10:15] willbat, thanks, I'm currently running shred on /dev/sda7 [10:16] ChristianAdamski, yeah that works. Takes me to the mysql command prompt [10:16] there you go, seems perfectly fine [10:16] Polah, thanks, I get it [10:16] try "show databases;" [10:17] Yep, must have been the reboot...I swear I had rebooted it but at 3am I likely to be wrong. Thanks. [10:18] emmkai: that's strange , that mean your usb isn't detected in the linux [10:18] Xanius - that might be it - a broken mysql instance can block starting a new one [10:18] hey, need help with dir permessions..i have a parent dir P to whichi have given some recursive permissions which are applied to sub-dir s1.

[10:45] I mean the ubuntu installer [10:46] fatih1993: it's not a command, it's a package name [10:46] mrgenixus: ubiquity [10:46] I've been forced to boot my installation media from my installation target drive [10:46] mrgenixus, what is happening or not happening with the cd? [10:46] it's pre-partitioned [10:46] but I can't select a root partition in the installer [10:46] coz, have tried before, dont show all the config, i want a better config for the image, i have that, my monitor supoprt, but dont know how to... [10:46] mrgenixus: make sure it's not mounted [10:47] jrib: so, will i install this package additionly? [10:47] or, more specificially, I can select it, but it wants to unmount the ENTIRE disk, in order to format one of the partitions [10:47] fatih1993: you need to install only libmysqlclient-dev [10:47] Hi, can someone please tell me the name of the new scanner application in ubuntu? [10:47] but it can't, It's (obviously) in-use [10:47] jrib: oh ok. [10:47] de-leve, let me check . hold on [10:48] but it doesn't really need to be doing this. I just needs to mount the (already formatted) partition [10:48] mrgenixus: I suppose you should still file the bug but as a workaround can you format yourself and tell it not to format? === bluemoon is now known as Guest65913 [10:48] archman I think o worked the problem out :-$ [10:48] ok [10:48] de-leve, out of curiosity,,which video card is on your system? [10:48] I can't select it as the root partition, unless I tell it to format [10:48] ^^ that's the bug === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [10:48] archman: Would you accept a small donation of 100SEK via PayPal as a thank you gift? [10:49] I'm hoping that, as a stop-gap, the alternate cd will work [10:49] domedagen: not needed, thanks :) [10:49] domedagen: i just volunteered, heh [10:49] mrgenixus: Why can't you format it? [10:49] domedagen: have fun, hope you fixed everything [10:49] I'm using Suse, but was using ubuntu 11.04, there is a new quick document scan program on it, but I can't remember the name [10:49] Polah: it's formatted [10:49] mrgenixus: As? [10:49] the installer wants to repartition, in order to format [10:50] it's XFS [10:50] simple scan - you can all stop replying now ;-) [10:50] mrgenixus: And why can't you reformat it to install? [10:50] catch ya later ubuntu noobs :-D [10:51] archman: But I insist, I don't see how you can fully understand my gratefulness without it. I'm not rich but I would I'd like to give you some kind of compensation [10:51] Polah, I've got the install media written to the first partition [10:51] so, it can' be unmounted, as it's the running session [10:51] ergo, I can't reformat [10:51] ergo, I can't select a root partition [10:51] mrgenixus: thats not really a bug [10:51] mrgenixus: Well you can't install it there then. Burn the ISO to a disk or USB and install... [10:51] ikonia: in what way is that not a bug [10:52] my cdrom is ruined, won't boot [10:52] the system is a laptop, and predates booting from usb, apparently [10:52] mrgenixus: in that how can you expec tto format a partition you are using [10:52] mrgenixus, what about a flash drive [10:52] mrgenixus: The same way you can't install onto a USB from the same USB... Then burn a new CD or put it into a USB flash drive [10:52] I'm not trying to format the partition I'm using [10:52] 100 Swedish kronor = 15.6764 U.S. dollars [10:52] I'm trying to select an entirely different partion [10:52] mrgenixus: so why can't you unmount it [10:53] mrgenixus: if you're not using that partition why can't you unmount it [10:53] I don't need to unmount it, it's not mounted [10:53] domedagen: Everybody in here is a volunteer. We do not expect payment for helping people. [10:53] de-leve, are you still there? [10:53] mrgenixus: why can't you select a root file system then ? [10:53] the installer insists it needs to unmount the partion I'm using, not the one I'm installing to [10:53] ikonia: because there's a bug in the installer [10:53] mrgenixus: that doesn't sound correct [10:53] it won't select a partition, unless I select a filesystem format [10:54] If I select a filesystem format, it says it has to repartition (which it doesn't) [10:54] mrgenixus: Shrink the partition with the installation files, make another partition to use as root and install there instead [10:54] domedagen: if you want to you could always donate to ubuntu [10:54] !donate | domedagen [10:54] because it need to repartition, it has to unmount /cdrom (because /cdrom is mounted with /dev/sda1 [10:54] domedagen: To donate to Ubuntu, you can !participate or go to http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/donate [10:55] Polah: there's a 95Gb partition, formatted XFS with nothing on it that I want to install on on /dev/dsa2 [10:55] coz, dont know now, by the way, im not at home. ill try this later when im at home, ok? its easier and i can tell you everything of my machine, thanks a lot. [10:55] ^^ sda2 [10:55] why should I shring anything? [10:55] I have everything I need now [10:55] if this was gentoo I would be done a week ago [10:55] mrgenixus: Yes, so move the installation media to another smaller partition. Therefore you can format the partition you plan to install on with no problems. [10:56] Polah: like this: the installation media is on sda1, formatted FAT, trying to install to sda2 [10:56] ? [10:56] mrgenixus, I would strongly reccommend jfs and dont bother with xfs but that's just my opinion [10:56] mrgenixus: So there's no problem with just reformatting it, then...? [10:56] any plans for 11.10 to be scalable? i mean if it detects your GPU cant handle Unity is it gonna fall back to say Unity2D or Gnome3.x [10:56] coz_: srsly, not relevant [10:56] Polah: IT's FORMATTED [10:57] mrgenixus: Yes, but if it wants you to reformat it in order to install and there's no reason why you shouldn't, then the obvious choice is to just do that. [10:57] the installer won't format it, unless it unmounts /dev/sda1 [10:57] mrgenixus, so the istall wants to format to ext4 ...yes? [10:57] coz_ no. [10:58] auronandace: TY for advice [10:58] mrgenixus, if it wants to reformat the partition and you are trying to install 11.04,, my guess is it will reformat to ext4 [10:58] ext4 = win [10:58] ??? [10:58] * p1l0t *yawn* Good morning [10:58] morning p1l0t [10:58] Polah: first, I tried repartioning from the installer (FAIL), then I tried partitioning manualy with fdisk (Success) and then doing the install, and formatting with the installer (fail) [10:58] majestik, ubuntu 11.04 is using ext4 [10:58] empathy with messenger account: network error [10:58] is this a known problem? [10:59] did they change the protocol [10:59] lastly, I formatted manually and tried to just select the destination (it wants to unmount /dev/sda1) [11:00] coz_: there is no way that what you're describing could possibly require the system unmount unrelated partitions [11:00] coz_: I insist that my choice of filesystem is not relevant [11:00] coz_: ext4 is a win dude, unless your using a SSD then i'd suggest manual ext2 with no swap personally [11:00] what ? [11:01] mrgenixus: Have you actually tried with another filesystem, though? [11:01] Polah: in fairness, no. I still call this a bug [11:01] even if my use is off-label [11:01] I'm not asking the system to do anything I shouldn't be able to do [11:02] ignore me coz_ stick to the guy you was talking to i dont have enough info on your issue and i'm currently at work sorry to but in lol just my two cents [11:02] mrgenixus: So perhaps try with another filesystem, and if it still happens then I'll guess you have a faulty installer, or if it works then it's a strange problem with formatting to XFS [11:02] Polah: I'm sure the md5 on the installer would match spec [11:02] it's def. a bug, even with XFS [11:02] it's just a more specific bug [11:03] mrgenixus: Go and check the MD5 just in case, and try with another filesystem so as to determine if it's the installer in general or just when you attempt with XFS. [11:07] Hi all, i have 3 nics on my machine, how can i make service to use these interfaces selectively, ie apache through NIC1 , Sendmail through NIC2 etc [11:08] Ranjan: Are they assigned different IPs? [11:08] Polah, Yes [11:08] ranjan: Are you behind a router? [11:09] Polah, Yes [11:10] ranjan: Well, you could configure the router to direct traffic on specific ports to the different IPs. i.e traffic on port 80 and 443 to one of the IPs for Apache and so on like that [11:10] Hi, is there a way to stop my empathy chat windows from growing horizontally when typing? It's really annoying! [11:10] Polah, ok. [11:10] simmerz, sorry I dont use empathy,, stick around for a while for an answer [11:16] anyone use ZFS in ubuntu? [11:20] Hi! I have a whole bunch of jobs in 'stopped' state, after some printer error. I want resume/reprint all of them, so the jobs finish. Is there anyway to do this?

[11:32] SimonJai, I do not but this is a start https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [11:32] cook1es, no.. but you could copy them over and chown/chmod them to be owned by the new user.. [11:32] glebihan: stop with this its ubuntu for all tents and purposes.... Is this the kind of help I am going to receive... Fine I will just by hot spot... No reason to waste your time... thanks for nothing :) [11:33] DebiansArmy, the channel guideslines dissagree.. theres official Mint channels.. [11:33] DebiansArmy: it's not supported here tho, there are official Mint channels, please use them [11:33] dr_willis, ok copying will not be a problem, how do I chown something? [11:34] dr_willis: tried it wow five people with less skills then me thanks again... To much to have a ubuntu user think out side the box... Wow... Thanks again :) [11:34] that's great... [11:34] DebiansArmy, we dont have the resources to support linuxmint,, that is why there are separate channels for things,, each with their respective resources [11:34] cook1es, with the chown command [11:34] thanks [11:34] !permissions | cook1es [11:34] cook1es: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [11:34] join #uni-c [11:34] dr_willis thanks [11:34] leave #ubuntu === ross is now known as Guest60319 [11:35] * DebiansArmy me keeping mouth shout will wait for ubuntu solution and just piggyback ride the idea... mum is the word.... [11:35] DebiansArmy, to much for you to ask for this channe to support all the dozens of ubuntu variants.. thats how it is. [11:35] DebinsArmy, we could argue that #tech covers everything computer related, but then there would be alot of people there [11:35] cook1es, why are you changing the admin users name anyway? [11:36] dr_willis, I am uncomfortable with my current adminusername, its a VM so no sour business going on :-) [11:36] you got a 'naughty' user name? :) [11:36] join #50plus [11:36] hi people. I didn't like unity. How can I use gnome instead of it? [11:37] !classic | kalib [11:37] kalib: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [11:37] Guest60129, use /join #channel :) [11:37] * DebiansArmy mumms the word, I have done reverse engineering and thinking before when it comes to ubuntu and linux mint... No need to here what I already now your not going to help... [11:37] dr_willis, no, I just don't want all to know my real name when I pastebin my sudo commands and I am too lazy to erase it manually [11:37] kalib, but gnome2 as you know it is getting phased out.. so you may want to try Lubuntu/lxde or xubuntu/ xfce or kubuntu if you cant stand gnome shell or unity [11:38] dr_willis, what about gnome3? [11:38] cook1es, you could just do a sudo -i [11:38] kalib, what about it.. Its not in 11.04.. it is in 11.10 [11:38] what can I use as a GUI newsgroups prog for ubuntu ? [11:38] with windows I used grabit [11:38] Unity technically is running on top of gnome3 in 11.10 :) [11:38] dr_willis, thanks. Until there, I'll keep the classic. [11:39] Steam is very, very, very laggy under wine. Is that fixable or not? [11:39] dr_willis excellent I will knock that into my head, is it also possible to change the "computer name" which is after the @ [11:40] mang0, #winehq for particular wine issues [11:41] mang0, what bazhang said. But I believe Steam can work normally under Wine. [11:41] ok [11:41] D: [11:41] I'll ask in winehq then [11:41] The games is another story of course, but Steam should be able to work fine.

[12:27] Is there any way to make wireless autoreconnect under ubuntu [12:27] Razzeeyy: i have no idea how to do that. [12:27] really dr_willis ? [12:27] marhell, ok I want you to do both of these commands one after the other sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:28] occasionally mine will drop out and then ask me to re-enter my password, I have to hit connect to reconnect [12:28] speedrunnerG55, yes.. Mine says not in use right now.. but it defainatly is in use.. [12:28] i did notice minecraft runnin ecseptionally well [12:28] speedrunnerG55: LOL [12:28] Was thinking a cron job but how do I connect to a wpa2 protected network from the terminal [12:28] and the dual monitor configuration saved [12:28] whitch it didnt before [12:28] speedrunnerG55, sounds like its in use to me.. [12:29] coz_: 0 updates it says [12:29] i re intstaled my driver since i replaced it with a similar card [12:29] speedrunnerG55, nvidia? you could edit the xorg.conf and have it show the logo at startup also.. to prove its in use. :) [12:29] marhell, do you have compiz running on that system? [12:29] how do i do that? [12:29] marhell, just in case hit alt+F2 and type metacity --replace [12:29] coz_: compiz? [12:29] is that after the os boots? [12:29] speedrunnerG55, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists and enable the showlogo option [12:29] or like option rom [12:30] coz_: done [12:30] Gosh darn it! [12:30] marhell, is the cursor still visible? [12:30] marhell, update-manager then click settings button so you must be in software sources then select natty(or what your distro)-proposed [12:30] coz_: yes [12:30] marhell, ok then the off / on behavior is puzzling me,, [12:30] hiyas all [12:31] Question, does anyone here have any experience with Wacom tablets? [12:31] HaakonKL, yes I have one here [12:31] i have with Genius tablet [12:31] coz_: i can try to restart now [12:31] and see what happens [12:31] marhell, ok yes [12:31] ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I cannot install libssl-dev, 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6, packages are damaged [12:31] why, how to solve that? [12:31] Great, see, it all works and stuff, but it acts like a mouse. [12:32] With the exception of that, it Just Works[tm] [12:32] HaakonKL, like a mouse? [12:32] try to look into wizardpen packages to configure your tablet right [12:32] wizardpen is works for me [12:32] Razzeeyy: try this command for a list of packages that may need to be updated??? apt-get upgrade -> n [12:32] coz_: doest matter if i restart from the terminal or just from up there [12:32] HaakonKL, it should work like a mouse [12:32] farciarz84: try to change the software-sources, choose another mirror [12:32] marhell, doesnt matter [12:32] DebiansArmy thanks [12:32] Yeah, but then I can only draw with half the tablet.. :( [12:32] HaakonKL, oh? which size tablet is it? [12:32] It's just the cheapest bamboo tablet. [12:33] About A6 or so? === vivek is now known as Guest92083 [12:33] HaakonKL, and it is not resoving the resolution of the monitor? [12:33] HaakonKL, resolving I meant [12:33] What do you mean? I have two monitors, so... [12:33] how do I find out which driver my wireless card uses? [12:33] It correctly puts itself at the relative position. [12:33] syskk: sudo lshw -C wireless [12:33] HaakonKL, ok so dual monitors... on a small tablet,, that is going to be very sensitive ...yes? [12:34] I have good motor skills.... :p [12:34] nothing there jpds [12:34] HaakonKL, is it not "spanning" both monitors when you move the stylus? [12:34] Yes it is, but I wish that it would stick inside gimp. [12:34] coz_: and the cursor is gone again. [12:34] syskk: Oh, '-C network' [12:34] marhell, oh geez... ok guy,, I am definitly puzzled by this one [12:35] HaakonKL, is it somehow bouncing out of gimp when you work with it? [12:35] marhell_: could you pastebin your xorg.conf? [12:35] mmm says "wl0" weird [12:35] HaakonKL: a what? [12:35] HaakonKL try to look in gimp preferences. Somewhere there must be section for config tablets and input devices [12:35] coz_ yes, I set it to stick inside the window but it will click outside. [12:35] Razzeeyy: I have. That's where I saw the option of having it stick inside the window. :) [12:36] marhell_: It's a file. It lives in /etc/X11/ [12:36] marhell, what he want is for you to open a terminal sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf then go to pastebin.com and paste the entire contents of that file ,, hit submit and paste the url address here so we can see it [12:36] If you post that file to pastebin.org, we can see what your computer thinks your mouse is. [12:36] coz_: Nice explanation. [12:36] [THC]AcidRain: Yeh, can you help me with a LinuxMint/ Ubuntu question [12:36] ok [12:36] HaakonKL, so it is not calibrated to gimp's interface [12:36] marhell_: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:36] easier ^^^ [12:37] wait, let me mess around with gimp for a bit first. [12:37] jpds: this is what I'm getting.. no info on the drive except "wl0" http://pastebin.com/D4SDyQGd [12:37] LibreOffice fails to open files on an nfs mount. With "nolock" I get errors opening files ("used by another user"). With "lock", openoffice doesn't even show up (lockd errors in the logs, maybe bug 181996) [12:37] HaakonKL, ok ,, open your home directory,, hit ctrl+h to show hidden files and delete the .gimp-2.6 directory and restart gimp [12:37] Launchpad bug 181996 in linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu Gutsy) "NFS server: lockd: server not responding" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181996 [12:38] now the cursor came back [12:38] [THC]AcidRain: Can you tell me when natty got introduced into Ubuntu as a full package??? [12:38] rm -rf ~/gimp [12:38] whoops. [12:38] sorry [12:38] marhell_, we might to see that xorg.conf file to see hwcursor or software cursor is being used [12:38] syskk: modinfo wl0 ? [12:38] HaakonKL, you can set nautilus to have a delete with right click [12:38] xorg.conf is empty? [12:38] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I cannot install libssl-dev, 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6, packages are damaged [12:38] marhell_, ok [12:38] should I use nfs-user-server or nfs-kernel-server, btw? [12:38] did i do something wrong [12:39] I just prefer to do it in the terminal. [12:39] DebiansArmy: Natty is not a package, it is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04 [12:39] farciarz84: apt-get -f install [12:39] marhell_, make sure the command is spelled correctly sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf that X11 must be upper case === zhanglearn_ is now known as zhanglearn [12:39] >>an set nautilus to have a delete with right click [12:39] dangerous :D "Hey, Wait, Wait.. i just wanted propeties" :D [12:40] Actually, he doesn't need sudo, since he's not supposed to write anything... :) [12:40] Pici: funny thanks was looking at ppp-wvdial... I thought it was around up of the ppp pacakages available [12:40] jpds: nothing there [12:41] coz_: i copy pasted the text and it gives me an empty thing [12:41] marhell_, ok no biggie [12:41] im really sorry for my english its not the best :D [12:41] guys is anyone have to use an openbox? i have one question. [12:41] * DebiansArmy what names they use for Ubuntu distro.... [12:41] marhell_, I couldnt tell english is not your native language :) [12:41] !codenames | DebiansArmy [12:41] DebiansArmy: Ubuntu has awesome release codenames. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames for more [12:42] I'll be right back [12:42] jpds: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module wl0 [12:42] marhell_, ok I am at a loss with this issue,,, you may want to ask again , and let someone else take it on [12:42] * DebiansArmy natty does that equal a whole bunch of natts on your back???? [12:42] ill try tomorrow [12:43] marhell_, ok guy,, sorry I couldnt solve this one [12:43] thanks anyway [12:43] not prob [12:43] guys is there any way to speed up firefox start up? maybe some preloader for firefox? [12:43] marhell_, its that on off behavior that is puzzling me [12:43] Razzeeyy: preloader [12:44] Razzeeyy: version of firefox??? [12:44] coz_: it just comes when i do something and disappears when i restart [12:44] thunderbird: possible to run thunderbird on one machine as slave with connection to another machine with the master databases? [12:44] Razzeeyy: pacman -S preload [12:44] razzeeyy@MSI-Netbook-U130:~$ firefox --version [12:44] Mozilla Firefox 6.0 [12:45] coz_: but im going home, hope the teacher doesnt kill me for not getting this work :D [12:45] installed preload but it works a little bit lazy :D [12:45] coz_: but thaks for effort [12:45] marhell_, ok guy,, come back tomorrow [12:45] hey all. How can I move my current swap drive to a new partition on another hard drive? [12:46] jasonmsp, gparted? [12:46] Razzeeyy: That is what I figured... There are youtube videos to show you how to speed up load times not sure if they will work with ff 6 [12:46] raven, as long as your mail is using imap you can run thunderbird on multiple machines and the mail will be synced [12:46] DebiansArmy ok will google for vid [12:46] jasonmsp: just create another swap partition and enable it (by changing /etc/fstab) and disable the old one [12:46] Razzeeyy: Give me a minute will look it up hold on.. [12:46] Razzeeyy: Im sure it could probably done command line.. Id prefer that. [12:47] Ok, well, I'll give up and just use the whole screen for now. [12:47] tsimpson: thanks! [12:47] It works, and I have nimblen hands. [12:47] jasonmsp, commandline is my fault :D sorry [12:47] Thanks for your help coz_ [12:47] HaakonKL, your tables uses whole screen instead of one monitor? [12:48] *tablet [12:48] I'm running ubuntu server in a vmware player. I added a second interafce of type "host-only." I run dhclient on it and I can access it from my host machine. However, I cannot access sites outside of my network. I can if I put the second interface down. Thoughts? [12:48] Razzeeyy: Its the about.config command in firefox that gets pages to load faster and quicker connection times... [12:49] DebiansArmy yep i saw that things about pipelineing, but i'm looking for speed up start up of firefox [12:49] it says temporary failure in name resolution [12:49] MuNk`, no imap [12:49] it takes about 10 seconds to load after i've launched it [12:50] ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I cannot install libssl-dev, 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6, packages are damaged, apt-get -f install doesn't help [12:50] Razzeeyy: yes [12:50] HaakonKL try sudo apt-get instal wizardpen [12:50] Razzeeyy: disable plugins ? [12:50] then try to config your tablet with wizardpen [12:51] Razzeeyy: that is a load time and access to the network my takes about 20 seconds with modem in windows 7... oh I mentioned windows... lol ;p [12:51] http://jumpingcrabs.dyndns.info [12:51] require =0.9.8k-7ubuntu8 but there will be installed 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6, wtf, why I cannot just install it? [12:51] ^ Does that load for you guys? [12:51] if I remember rightly wizardpen doin something around coordinates [12:51] ah, it seems like e/tc/resolv.conf is getting re-written [12:51] WaltzingAlong, a lot of plugins disavbled [12:52] >>that is a load time and access to the network my takes about 20 seconds with modem [12:52] ??? [12:52] If I crypt my home and I want ubuntu to ask me for password on startup, will it? how does that work? [12:52] i used chrome before and it was ready in 2 seconds after launch [12:52] zi, It's called a login screen. [12:52] :D [12:53] Why it's not possible to install libssl-dev on my pc? ubuntu 10.04 error: packages are damaged [12:53] Razzeeyy: what are you loading for add-ons there not built the same chrome and firefox work different [12:53] why is sudo on 127.0.1.1? [12:54] How do I mount an ISO file in ubuntu? [12:55] according to the wiki wizardpen was for non-wacom tablets? [12:55] mang0 as the man mount says [12:55] The standard form of the mount command, is [12:55] mount -t type device dir [12:55] I ran into an incident when I tried sudo then it told me that i'm not in the sudoer.... [12:55] how to fix it [12:55] pyghassen: are you in the "admin" group ? [12:55] farciarz84, from that error mesage. i would guess the files on the server are currupted. try a differnt server. [12:56] tryed to launch firefox on my desktop -- it start a lot of faster... i think firefox wery processor-depended [12:56] bbl, [12:56] hello... i have an internal disk with is NTFS formated, and is has only data.....i want to share it through my lan network.... i configure samba but it tells my i can't access this location... how can i do this? thanks a lot [12:57] xuser is not in the sudoer file. this incident will be reported!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [12:57] Razzeeyy: then you may look into firefox6 which apparently should load faster on gnu/linux [12:57] I don't need this now, guys how to work around this issue? [12:58] pyghassen: please respond to the question I asked [12:58] pyghassen: is your user in the admin group [12:59] ikonia: I tried: cat /etc/group | grep admin [12:59] pyghassen: just pastebin the output of the command id [12:59] and I got admin:x:133 [12:59] I guess I'm not!! [12:59] pyghassen: or paste in the channel the output of the command "id" [13:00] so what no, reinstall the whole damn thing now!!!!!!!!!! [13:00] pyghassen: ok - I'm going to stop helping you unless you start listening [13:00] pyghassen: calm down and listen to the advice I'm giving you - then I can help you [13:01] ikonia: what did you say? [13:01] pyghassen: please show me the output of the command "id" [13:01] ok I'm listening [13:02] ikonia: here it is uid=1000(ghassen) gid=1000(ghassen) groups=1000(ghassen),1001(subversion) [13:03] pyghassen: was this the default user you setup ubuntu up with ? [13:03] hello [13:03] ikonia: it is the same exact one [13:03] pyghassen: (eg: when you installed ubuntu, was this the user account you created) [13:03] pyghassen: have you modified that account in anyway ? [13:03] like what? ikonia [13:03] pyghassen: changed it's users/groups [13:04] I just added a this user to www-data group that's all [13:04] ikonia: [13:05] pyghassen: it would appear you've done that wrong, as that user is not a part of the www-data group at all, plus it has been removed from some of the core groups such as the "admin" group [13:05] WaltzingAlong: I think it is like most people say Firefox has become blooted just to much... [13:06] pyghassen: to resolve this is quite simple, boot into recovery mode (from the grub menu) select a recovery shell and use the command "usermod -G admin ghassen" [13:06] pyghassen: that will add the user back into the admin group, from there you can reboot and you'll have sudo access again [13:06] pyghassen: you can then use the user gui to correct add the user to the groups you need [13:06] for some reason I needed it be in the www-data group, I didn't know that when you put it in one group it will be revmove [13:06] removed in the other group [13:07] pyghassen: you didn't put it in the www-data group as you can see, it's not in that group [13:07] pyghassen: if you follow the instructions I've given you, you will be back working fine in about 5 minutes [13:07] Hello! [13:07] i have downloaded an tar.gz file. iside there is a shell-script. how can i execute it? thank you! I'm a linux noob [13:07] hello [13:08] Hi === vastu is now known as pgulley [13:08] klingelbart: what have you downloaded ? [13:08] make it executable and then ./yourscript [13:08] ikonia: so how can I put it the admin and www-data group in the same time [13:08] ikonia: tor browser bundle [13:08] gamer1990: how do i make it executable? [13:09] hi, hello, howdy what up .... good morning... [13:09] klingelbart: cd to that directory and do: chmod +x [13:09] klingelbart: chmod u+x yourscript.sh [13:09] pyghassen: get it in the admin group first with the command I gave you, then use the user/groups gui, it's easier and you won't make a mistake like this time === satellit_afk is now known as satellit_ [13:09] Polah: is this compiling? [13:09] klingelbart: No, that's making it executable... [13:09] imi: u+x? [13:09] at first unpack the tar.gz [13:09] I have a WD Velociraptor drive that used to be part (half) of an isw software raid array. Even when I tell the alternative installer to not run dmraid, it refuses to create filesystems on that drive (saying it's in use by the system -- it appears the md subsystem thinks that drive is interesting too...). How can I kill the isw metadata on the drive? I've checked dmraid, but the installer doesn't have the manpage and it isn't obvious to me how I should go forward. [13:10] I can't get my wireless driver to work. I installed the linux one (it is realtek rtl8192se) and it says everything is working fine but I can't connect. I am using a USB wireless adapter at the moment. [13:10] What do I do? [13:10] Polah: chmod u+x means add execution rigts to the owner (user) [13:10] gamer1990: and then? [13:10] lvh: use the livecd and remove the partition, and if needed the first 512kb of the disk with dd [13:10] imi: Oh. [13:11] make the script executable as written earlier [13:11] is a shell skript only piece of text or already compiled? === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [13:11] klingelbart: shell script is interpreted by bash (generally not previously compiled) [13:11] Akregator crashed with this error: Executable: akregator PID: 2413 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault). What should I do? [13:11] imi: so do i have to compile it? [13:12] ikonia: There are no more partitions, and I already put a new MBR on there with a second machine. No idea where the metadata is supposed to be stored? Is that the first 512b? (I don't know anything about these software RAID devices) [13:12] klingelbart: No. There's no compilation involved [13:12] lvh: correct zero the first 512 [13:12] klingelbart: you needn't (actually even, you can't) [13:12] Akregator crashed with this error: Executable: akregator PID: 2413 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault). What should I do? [13:12] ikonia: zero as in /dev/zero? Thanks [13:12] lvh: that's fine [13:12] imi: why? [13:12] klingelbart: just add exec rights or alternatively you can write bash ./myscript.sh [13:12] klingelbart: untar the file, make the script executale, run it, what is the problem ? [13:13] imi: Does that work the same as sh file.sh? [13:13] klingelbart: scripts are interpreted runtime line-by-line. it's actually the same when you type CMDs to the shell [13:13] ikonia: i want to understand everything [13:13] klingelbart: then do some research [13:13] Polah: you can also write sh ./file.sh [13:13] klingelbart: there is a README file normally in the tar file along with an INSTALL file , read them [13:13] klingelbart: there are guides to bash and scripting on tldp.org [13:13] ikona: i don't need yout coments. [13:13] klingelbart: there is bash scripting support/advice in the channel #bash [13:13] imi: thank you [13:14] in the first line there is a #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh or perl or whatever. that's the line to check what interpreter should used to run that script [13:14] Doesn't anyone here know what to do for a segmentation fault [13:14] venilsurya: a seg fault is a fatal error, the dump would need to be analyised [13:14] ikonia: thanks man it's ok now :) [13:14] venilsurya: report the bug to the authors [13:14] developers [13:14] imi: thx [13:14] venilsurya: Segmentation fault can have many causes [13:15] there is no patented solution for segmentation faults, although you can try segment --force, but if you don't have lazybuttlinux, this won't work [13:16] ikona: i'm sorry. thanks for your help. [13:17] ikonia, imi, zagibu: thanks. It keeps happening even if I reinstall the program. Can I do anything else? [13:17] venilsurya: report it to the developers [13:18] venilsurya: report as bug to developers. maybe there is lib version mismatch, maybe the source is buggy [13:18] lewis93: Found this on that card good luck... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667140 [13:20] ikonia: Oh, for future reference: apparently the command I really really wanted was dmraid -x [13:20] DebiansArmy, no I have a WLAN card inside my laptop - RTL8192SE but it doesn't work. It says it does, but it doesn't. I am using a seperate USB Wireless Adapter to obtain internet access but it isn't as convenient. [13:20] imi: the first line in the shell skript is /bin/sh. what exactly does this mean? [13:20] DebiansArmy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11160266#post11160266 [13:20] ikonia: (I'm cautious since I'm recovering an already very badly crashed machine -- a command like that looks a lot friendlier than dd even if it ends up doing the same thing ;) [13:21] ikonia, imi, zagibu: ok, thanks guys [13:21] klingelbart: #!/bin/sh as 1st line means when you add exec right and write ./myfile.sh, a /bin/sh process will be started to inprement yous script [13:21] like when you write to shell /bin/sh ./myfile.sh [13:22] imi: understand. thx [13:22] is it normal, that files have no suffix in nautilus? can i make them visible? [13:22] klingelbart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29 [13:22] klingelbart, also tells the system in which language is written, you can fin #!/bin/perl #!/bin/bash #!/bin/python [13:23] gh [13:23] if i move /home to another hdd, i know i have to modify fstab and use the old /home as a pointer, but do do i have to set the other hdd to automount? [13:23] iridium: wich language does /bin/sh mena? [13:23] j0d0__: would probably be a good idea [13:24] klingelbart: use the websites I've given you to get an overview of shell scripting [13:24] @klingelbart shell [13:24] it's actually bourne shell [13:24] lewis93: If you would have read the post they were say it was referring to a su card not a se card so they run command dmesg | grep 819 to see if the firmware is passing or failing [13:24] k, thanks [13:25] hey guyz can someone help me with this log whenever I startup ubuntu no wubildr [13:26] klingelbart, is sh, i belive that is ash, look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almquist_shell [13:26] DebiansArmy, apologies. I just ran that, and the output is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/668256/ [13:26] because bourne shell is already in /bin/bash [13:26] sh is representative of bourne shell, which ubuntu has linked to dash/ash depending on how you set it up [13:27] bash is bourne again shell, it's updated clone of it, it is not bourne [13:31] lewis93: RTL8192SE has a failure... The problem is a driver .... Post that to Ubuntu let them work out driver... It is not supporting Natty... [13:31] yes, but almost the same in terms of compatibiity and usage [13:31] :) [13:32] DebiansArmy, thank you. Post that pastebin to the forum, you mean? [13:32] if a folder name contains one empty space, who do i make the terminal understand this folder name? [13:32] how [13:32] lewis93: yes [13:32] klingelbart, put a \ behind the space [13:32] klingelbart: Use either 'file name' or file\ name [13:32] klingelbart, use \ (dash space) [13:32] thanx [13:32] lewis93: firmware issue...

[13:37] klingelbart: I got in the habit of eliminating spaces in files some time ago, it just makes things a little easier. When I save 'file name' to my computer I save it as file-name. I just don't like spaces in file-names, I never have. It just causes undue complication. [13:38] files don't have an ending in nautilus. is this normal? [13:39] klingelbart: file type is not necessarily determined by file extentions on Linux. [13:39] Pici: but sometimes they are? sometimes the aren't? [13:40] lewis93: Seen this there is no guarantee this will work... Looks to be some else's attempt to build a driver for this card... They only give source code not a deb package... try at your risk... http://pchelpforum.blogspot.com/2011/04/realtek-rtl8192se-wireless-driver.html [13:40] klingelbart: Most of the time they aren't. === matt_ is now known as Guest32068 [13:42] lewis93: these are hits and usually a bunch of misses to get your wifi card to work.... Just wait would be best advice will take at least 3 months for Ubuntu to get around to a new driver... [13:43] DebiansArmy: that's nosense, ubuntu won't randomly update or not update a drive [13:43] DebiansArmy: it needs to be defined if the card is supported, if there is a problem with the current kernel module, a bug needs to be logged detailing it so it can be updated to resolve it [13:43] it won't just happen on it's own [13:44] DebiansArmy, I'll play it safe and wait then - thanks so much for your help. Someone on the forum said the same thing as you; it is indeed a firmware issue. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly. Cheers again [13:44] ikonia: how said randomly if there is a lot problems with Natty they work through driver problems one step at a time... Where did you get random [13:44] DebiansArmy: you said just wait around for 3 months [13:44] that is random - with no reason or structure [13:45] DebiansArmy: a bug needs to be logged if the card is supported, detailing the problem and if possible the resolution, that then needs to be pushed through the bug process [13:45] ikonia: I don't know how long the list of driver problems is with natty I gave him a good estimate... not guessing game [13:45] DebiansArmy: is there even a bug logged for his issue ? === evil is now known as Guest32108 [13:45] klingelbart: *nix systems are a bit sophisticated than MS Windows when it comes to file recognition and actually analyzed the file itself. If you issue file you will see that the file type will be printed on the screen for you. file is a command that determines file type. [13:46] usr13: thx [13:47] ikonia: That is hopefully what lewis93 is pushing through and if you read some of the other sited material you would see that there were more then a couple people working on Realtek driver... [13:47] hi, how can I downgrade from oneiric to natty? [13:47] DebiansArmy: is there a bug logged, yes / no [13:47] martin`` reinstall [13:47] martin``: you can't do that [13:48] thanks. [13:48] ikonia: Its not my computer stop if you want ask lewis93 then ask him.... Don't give me the third degree burn... === LmtdAt is now known as LmAt [13:49] DebiansArmy: he's left - however, finding out if there is a bug and helping a bug get logged will get it progressed, saying "just wait for 3 months" won't get anything done [13:49] !google test [13:49] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [13:49] excellent [13:50] ikonia: If you were so concerned why didn't you jump earlier and state the problem... I am not the only tech sitting in this site.. [13:50] is it possible to copy the path to a directory i have opened in nautilus? [13:50] DebiansArmy: I only saw the end, hence why I jumped in as soon as I saw your advice to sit back and wait for 3 months [13:53] ikonia: thanks alot :( If you would have read his post he will just wait and futhermore ... here you go on what is done... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11160266#post11160266 If you want to log it be my guest .... I would like to know how long have you been using linux one day been 18+ years and somethings take time... [13:53] DebiansArmy: how long I've been using linux is nothing to do with anything [13:53] DebiansArmy: a forum post is nothing to do with getting a bug resolved === Guest32108 is now known as Jaco [13:54] DebiansArmy: sitting back for 3 months will do nothing - if there is a bug that needs work, a bug will need to be logged, finding out if that is done, and getting it done (if not)is prudent rather than saying "just sit back for approx 3 months for it to get fixed" [13:54] klingelbart, rightclick→copy [13:55] how to set up your own nickserv (my own IRC Server ) [13:55] ircmonkey: depends on what IRC daemon you are using [13:55] anopi?

I had a Acer Aspire 4250 that had a wireless card that took ubuntu and linux 6 months to get around to fixing ... Good thing was I was running ethernet there were about 10 different drivers around the internet and none worked for my acer so I had to wait was the bug reported yes... You act like there aren't a thousand other thing developers are working... [13:57] ...on... Right now since I belong to libmpt there working on making sure that over 100 new tablets can communicate with linux... [13:58] ircmonkey: They have their own support resources that would be much more helpful than us. See: http://www.anope.org/contact.php [13:58] w [13:58] DebiansArmy: what you are working on does not have any releveance, the fact remains, telling someone to just wait for 3 months is not acceptable advice, next time - don't do it. That said it would be really helpful if you could help people like that make sure there is a bug logged, so it will get worked on in the future [13:58] ah thnx [13:59] ikonia, cool down mate :) [13:59] iridium: I'm sorry what ?

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.

[14:16] Layke, SHIFT + \ [14:16] It would normally be (when in Windows)... but isn't for some reasons. === dsafds is now known as thesss____ [14:16] Layke: Key just to the left of Z, hold shift for it [14:17] Polah / slayton Yeah tried that. [14:17] It comes out with > [14:17] Layke: Seems like your keyboard layout isn't correct then. [14:17] Layke: You could try Shift+. to see if they're just switched around for some strange reason [14:17] Layke, try "setxkbmap us" in terminal [14:18] is there ANY different between: cd /path ;then ./file and /path/file [14:18] Layke, under System->Prefs-->Keyboard-->Layouts click on your layout then click the Show button [14:18] klingelbart: not really [14:18] it will show you the keyboard you are using [14:18] It's not showing me anything. (I know how to find the image of the keyboard though) [14:19] klingelbart: the current working directory will be different, if that matters. [14:19] does any one know of a good dummy guide for gateway setup? [14:20] i want to create a starter in unity wich executes two shell-commands. how do i do this? [14:20] What keyboard model should I have? [14:20] installing 11.04 on a samsung n150 with wubi - it's frozen during installation, what gives? [14:21] jrq, if possible avoid wubi install [14:21] jrq: Not enough hard drive space, perhaps. Corrupt download of the image. Also +1 for Benkinooby, a proper install is much better. [14:21] Found the solution for the missing pipe key. [14:21] xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = backslash bar" [14:21] fixed it. [14:21] Polah: by 'proper' you mean usb [14:21] ? [14:21] klingelbart, write a script an put it into autostart or maybe use command "{command1 ; command2}" [14:22] jrq, usb or cd [14:22] jrq: I mean installing Ubuntu properly in it's own partition, rather than just as an image within your Windows partition. [14:22] n150 doesn't have an optical drive [14:22] and i'm installing to a seperate partition [14:22] jrq do it with pendirve [14:23] jrq: Wubi creates a disk image inside your windows partition. [14:23] Is it possible to install Oneiric's package openjdk-7-jdk on Natty without upgrading the whole system? [14:23] ok the consensus is pendrive is the best usb tool? [14:23] jrq, Pici is right... it just pretends to be a partition [14:23] jrq: Still not a proper install. WUBI makes a virtual install, it makes an image in the Windows filesystem and boots into using the Windows bootloader. A proper install is an independent install on a separate partition, with its own filesystem and booted using a suitable bootloader. GRUB can boot Windows and Ubuntu so you needn't worry about getting into your Windows install [14:24] jrq, check out http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download there you will see how to make a usb for ubuntu install with windows [14:24] thanks guys [14:24] For anyone that is interested and doesn't know yet, Firefox 6 is in the repos. [14:25] jrq, all the best [14:25] hi all, when i connect a lan connection to 11.04 machine and run squid on the same machine, it works properly from firefox. the same thing if i do by disabling the lan card and by enabling any wireless device, it does not work. any clues why ? [14:25] bfreis: Do you NEED OpenJDK 7? [14:26] pea_brain: Because your wireless probably doesn't work properly.

Where did you get it from?; perhaps look for a PPA? [14:28] user__: probably not, because few people can read minds [14:28] i want to create a starter wich executes two commands in the terminal. how do i do that? [14:28] Can someone recommend a good PDF creator? [14:28] Does anybody know if it's possible to start something like orca when installing an 11.04 server? === Guest76968 is now known as Sonne [14:29] dougsko: good question. the overarching filesystem won't generally know about the underlying structure, so the assumption would have to be that the file is spread over all involved physical groups. could be wrong, though. [14:29] allright thanks usr13 [14:29] I need an on screen keyboard for an install ( the ncurses one, no gui ) anyone? [14:29] dougsko: if you're backups are up to date, you could run some experiments :-) [14:29] Polah, I got the zip from Oracle's download page and manually installed the alternative. Everyday since 28 July I look thoroughly for a PPA, but there's still no one available! [14:29] dougsko: "your", sorry.

[14:31] oh, server, misread, sorry [14:32] user__: In a production server environment, I'd recommend not having any GUI at all. [14:32] i want to create a starter wich executes two commands in the terminal. how do i do that? [14:32] klingelbart: A shell script to run two commands when you run the script? [14:33] Polah, yes it is my intention not to have a gui but I don't have a keyboard on this machine ( nor access to one ) and need to follow the installation [14:33] it should show the F5: Accessibility option in the install menu, too [14:33] ok [14:33] will try if anything I'll be back [14:33] klingelbart: gnome-terminal takes a "--command" argument, which you can use to run whatever you like in a terminal window. [14:33] thanks to everyone... [14:33] but how do you press F5 without a keyboard? [14:33] user__: Use the alternate ISO or minimal to install via command line? [14:33] exactly [14:33] Polah: how do i do that? [14:33] user__: SSH in [14:33] klingelbart: Is that what you're trying to do?

You can just do: sh /path/to/file in a terminal [14:38] Polah: i believe he wants a desktop launcher item to launch a script. [14:38] klingelbart: sipior Polah Just put path/to/file.sh in the command for the launcher [14:39] Polah: Hi, i have a problem with my touchpad, can you help me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:40] hello [14:40] sipior, klingelbart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/668324/ edit as necessary [14:41] edbian: Doesn't that only work if the file is marked as executable? I though prefixing with sh executed even if it wasn't? [14:41] escott: after i install ubuntu 11.04 my touchpad does't working, how to fix it?? [14:41] Polah: i wasn't asking :-) [14:41] Polah: perhaps you're right. I didn't think the executable bit was an issue [14:41] i'm new to ubuntu, i just installed ver 11.04, but my keyboard won't work, it works in dos, and in windows 7, but not ubuntu, any suggestions? [14:42] HSarena, its not working at all? what kind of laptop is this? [14:42] edbian: He might've marked as executable, but I just have a habit of prefixing my lines with sh anyway (: [14:42] HSarena, no sorry. [14:42] Polah: what if it's bash! :) [14:42] then it breaks. ;) [14:43] escott: no sometimes it's working, but in can't clicking, i can just moving the pointer [14:43] escott: i have sony - vaio [14:43] HSarena, you want tap to click? [14:43] edbian: Isn't sh basically the default shell, i.e. bash in most cases? [14:43] i'm new to ubuntu, i just installed ver 11.04, but my keyboard won't work, it works in dos, and in windows 7, but not ubuntu, any suggestions? [14:44] mcotostl: What kind of keyboard is it? [14:44] BBl, stuff to do [14:44] usr13: Just did some research on that bug report interesting Natty been out since April 28, 2011 less then 4 months bug report for ubuntu still has unresolved issues is what 9.04.... There the bug page doesn't get updated for more then enough or there is still unsupported hardware... Natty has about 10 or 15 wifi cards that are currently not working... Hmm... Yet for 4 months that's a good... [14:44] Polah: I don't think so. At least, on my system if you #!/bin/sh at the top and you write bash specific stuff (like [[ ) you'll get syntax errrors [14:44] ...rate of resolution already lewis93 has a support person looking into his card... Hmm... funny ikonia jumps down my shit doesn't even look to see if he reported the bug which he did using the same name as on here.... Yet since I haven't been in this IRC site in what 2 years I can't remember either of your handles ... Lets see I remember [THC]AcidRain , Pic and dr_willis just not you funny .... [14:44] Polah, its an HP wireless keyboard, i think its from an old pavillion [14:45] mcotostl: Probably an issue with drivers for the receiver then. Use a wired keyboard (; [14:45] hello, how can i force the grub menu to show up at boot? [14:46] edbian: I've found using #!/bin/bash and #!/bin/sh fairly interchangeable. Maybe the stuff I've been using isn't particularly bash specific. [14:46] basso: Hold shift while booting [14:46] DebiansArmy: we've moved on. throwing gasoline on the embers of an earlier argument is considered poor form here. [14:46] Polah: maybe sh doesn't mean bash for me [14:46] escott: yes, and sometime it get stuck and don't moving [14:46] !dash | edbian [14:46] edbian: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [14:46] Polah, is there a way to have Ubuntu scan for the wireless keyboard driver (kind of like scanning Windows Update) once I get a wired keyboard? [14:46] Polah: no go on 11.04 [14:46] auronandace: a-ha [14:47] handing this machine over with 11.04 as a windows replacement...just wondering if there is a quick way to auto-prevent old grub entries from piling up after each update [14:47] mcotostl: Ubuntu is actually doing that automatically to all of your hardware. That's the way the kernel works [14:47] HSarena, hit the windows key, then type mouse. its on the second tab of the mouse preferences. as for it getting stuck you can play around with synclient to tweak sensitivities [14:48] edbian: I just did man sh and got the man page for dash [14:48] Polah: me too [14:48] edbian, thanks [14:48] or is it only possible to remove old grub entries manually after each update [14:48] mcotostl: sure [14:49] polah or edbian, one last questions, is there a way to enable the on-screen keyboard once i get past the login? [14:49] mcotostl: If you go to System > Preferences > Accessibility (or something along those lines) you'll be able to set options for that I believe [14:49] jrq, remove the specific kernel versions you don't need with dpkg [14:49] jrq in the next release they get under a 'old kernels' grub menu item. ;) which is nice [14:50] polah, i checked there, but i didnt see anything, i'll check again [14:50] thanks all [14:50] edbian: Wouldn't using #!/bin/bash at the start make it work as bash anyway? [14:50] escott: this computer is for a windows noob, i wanted it done automatically [14:50] Polah: If you did sh /path/to/file.sh and the file started with #!/bin/bash would definitely make it bash [14:50] mcotostl: I recall options for it floating about somewhere [14:50] escott, how to set mouse option as default?? [14:51] edbian: Well, I guess you just need to make sure your first line is pointing to the correct shell then (: [14:51] hello. i have a big bug with unity. on the screen used for searching file or apps in my pc, the "search" field is now blocked, the carret doesn't blink and impossible to write anything inside. does it looks like already known to you ? [14:51] HSarena, "mouse option" [14:52] Polah: _that's_ what the shebang is for (the first line of a script, starting with #!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix) [14:53] escott, i do what you said, but nothing changes [14:53] llutz: Mhm, as I recently discovered [14:53] HSarena, you enabled mouse clicks? [14:54] I connect to internet via a proxy server. But I get a very low speed. Lan address et. are obtained via DHCP. So I just wanted to ask if I use vlan and have multiple virtual LANs and some other mac address, can my speed improve? Is it possible in principle? [14:55] escott, yes [14:55] deowood: doubtful [14:55] deowood: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf [14:56] escott, i think it because of my laptop, by the way i install synaptiks package for it [14:56] deowood: In other words, take a look at the nameserver(s) you are using. A dead first one will make for slow response [14:56] escott, but nothing happened [14:58] ok. but should I try the vlan option or is it a dead end? [14:59] HSarena, im not sure. there might be something special about sony vaio. if you xinput list you can get the actual name of your touchpad [15:00] Can anyone recommend a good PDF creator program? [15:00] Trfsrfr: depends on your source format [15:02] Myrtti, I am a newb here. I dont understand what you mean by source format? [15:03] http://the-simple-layman.blogspot.com/2009/09/keypassxcrossplatform-security-key.html: "KeePassX is available as a Ubuntu install through synaptic." What package name should I search for it in Synaptic? [15:03] Trfsrfr: what are you doing exactly? there is several applications for creating PDF's, but if we don't know what you are actually doing, it's difficult to say anything to what would be a good option for you [15:03] edbian, Polah just tested sh foo.sh (containing #!/bin/bash\necho $BASH_VERSION) and it appears to have been executed by dash not bash [15:04] bullgard4_: "keepassx"? [15:04] bullgard4_: Oddly enough: keepassx (although keepass2 is the more recent branch of the software) [15:04] does anybody know now to strip the first and last x characters of line on the commandline? [15:04] escott: Interesting... [15:04] Myrtti, I am working in a windows CAD program operated through wine. [15:04] stimpie, cut?

[15:06] HSarena, "xinput list" will give you the model name [15:06] escott: Seems to not have interpreted that shebang line. Interesting [15:06] Polah, well it is technically a comment line [15:07] Pici, Won't that require the ssh server's username and password? [15:07] escott, SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)] [15:07] sosaited: yes. ssh-copy-id user@example.com [15:07] escott: Yes, but the combination of #! should make it interpret the script using the provided shell [15:07] sosaited, yes it will ask for your password [15:07] Pici, Hmm. So I'll need to enable user authentication for a bit till then [15:07] sosaited: Correct. [15:08] escott, Thanks [15:08] sosaited: Or if you can just ssh into it, copy the keys manually. [15:08] ll [15:08] sosaited: er, that didn't make any sense now that I'm thinking about it. [15:08] Hey are there any utilities to fix windows? [15:08] Hello. I have Empathy and I need to have a sound everytime someone logs in or sends me a message, I have checked all options in preferences, but still have no sound, How come? I reallly need sound notifications [15:08] Trfsrfr: one option would be installing a pdf printer and printing the stuff as pdf [15:08] Pici, Keys on the server are stored in home directory of current user or shared directoiry?> [15:09] yshi, not ubuntus job [15:09] sosaited: In each user's home.

[15:13] Polah: yup [15:14] mang0: Try running it from command line: cd to the directory and then Wine .exe [15:14] ok folks, here is a puzzler, at some point rsync corrupted and i cannot do any updates. I have tried uninstalling reinstalling but no go [15:14] what can i do? [15:14] escott, Then if some other users logs in. I won't be able to connect to the server? Is there no way to make the keys available to all users? [15:15] Hey, does any one have ever used NDISWRAPPER ? [15:15] Detox: did you try the purge flag while uninstalling? [15:15] yes I have done all things I can think of and googled on, that is one of the suggestions that comes up automatically [15:16] Ok man i gotta go........ it's too busy here... [15:16] I am thinking the only thing I have left is to save my data and dump the drive starting over [15:17] Pici, , Then if some other users logs in. I won't be able to connect to the server? Is there no way to make the keys available to all users? [15:18] sosaited, key based authentication allows anyone who can prove they know the secret (that matches the public info listed in authorized_keys) to login without a password. you could hand out the secret, but that defeats the purpose really [15:18] test [15:19] Hello everyone [15:19] Hi [15:19] helllo [15:19] Detox: what's the exact error message?

I have Empathy and I need to have a sound everytime someone logs in or sends me a message, I have checked all options in preferences, but still have no sound, How come? I reallly need sound notifications [15:21] raven: So, why don't you just connect both Thunderbird's to the mail server... [15:21] why not have two tbs that both get messages from the server? do you need synced folders and read/unread states etc? [15:21] zagibu --- cannot provide as I am at work and pc is at home [15:21] Polah: its in Program Files, but I can't CD to it because of the space in between program and files :/ [15:21] too bad [15:22] I can shell in, create a txt and paste but will take a bit [15:22] Myrtti, how would I do that? [15:22] install a pdf printer? [15:22] mang0: Put the path in quotes. cd "/path/to/file" [15:22] any ideas guys? i'm quite desperate, such error never occurred to me before [15:22] mang0, cd "Program Files" [15:22] sosaited: As far as I know (and I just looked through the sshd_config manpage) there isn't any sort of global key config available. [15:22] okay [15:22] Trfsrfr: install cups-pdf. it may or may not work, but is worth a try [15:22] Polah, NO IMAP!! because of inconsistences of database [15:23] raven: You could use POP instead... [15:23] Pici, Hmm. Thanks [15:24] cmon, some 1, btw, you can bring icons back by changing you screen resolution to bigger one and the changing the resolution back [15:24] I'm having trouble with startup resolution on Ubuntu 11.04 [15:24] raven: maybe you could make TB save its internal DB to a network share, then set other TB's DB to the same share?

Are you running them for separate mailboxes or what? [15:29] DebiansArmy: uhm, but why indicators shift off the screen at 1024x768, and are not brought back if you close the window that caused the to shift off [15:29] Polah, i only imagine collisions if two instances of an application write simultaneously to the same databas4e [15:30] raven: you'd expect semaphores to manage that ;) [15:30] Eduard: a 403 is a permission problem, so if it works for you, it might still not work for others [15:30] Polah: I just found a guide to get tf2, hl1, hl2, portal 1, 2 to work on ubuntu. woot! [15:30] raven: If it's any decent it should queue writes up if it the tables are locked due to another write at the same time. [15:30] ActionParsnip, yes but how for Thunderbird ;) [15:31] zagibu: i know what 403 is, btw the link i gave is to public image host [15:31] mang0: never had an issue with HL2, it just ran [15:31] raven: It shouldn't spontaneously break just because it can't write when it tries to, that would be fairly stupid to not design around the eventuality that it can't write for a while [15:31] Eduard: that's cool, i still get a 403 [15:32] maybe you can describe the problem? [15:32] Polah, you're right but do you know what is the normal way to setup something like a microsoft exchange server for thunderbird? i am sure there is something similar. perhaps that could be a hint? === pr0ton_ is now known as pr0ton [15:33] how to add virtual network interfaces [15:33] no, TB is a mail client, NOT a mail server [15:33] raven: No. I'd just go with the second client and I imagine it'll work. Is it even two separate clients on two machines, or just two instances of the same program? [15:33] zagibu, outlook also only is a mail client but there must be something similar to an exchange server for outlook too doesn't it? [15:34] Polah, two machines [15:34] yeah, but that's a server feature, not an outlook feature [15:34] Eduard: Sounds like driver issue with Video Card some have posted x and y variables in games and others having trouble in netbooks with screensize....

[16:21] probabyl because your work machine can't display unity [16:21] How fortunate. [16:21] coldboot|home: it is forced because it is the only desktop - the gnome 2 interface or "gnome classic" is dead to ubuntu [16:21] what is your favorite movie player on Ubuntu?

[16:22] my point still stands [16:22] you can choose at the login screen can't you? [16:22] coldboot|home: not if ubuntus plan is to remove gnome classic [16:22] morri: yep. [16:22] coldboot|home, there is. Session menu at the login screen. [16:23] It smells like the pulseaudio change Ubuntu did, which pissed tons of people off and made for a jarring experience. [16:23] coldboot|home: ubuntu is dropping gnome classic, they are pushing unity as all of a sudden in 11.10 gnome classic will be gone [16:23] why is ubuntu a better choice than arch linux? [16:23] shLONG: personal opinion, try them see if it is better/worse for you [16:23] You can't right-click anything. It removed all of my launcher icons. [16:24] could someone tell me why i cant update wine to 1.3 [16:24] is it only for 11.04? [16:24] ubuntu doesn't recognize samsung galaxy tab at all , anyone can tell me how to fix it ? [16:24] coldboot|home: you'll get used to it, or you'll move to a different desktop, it's a tough choice, but its realistic [16:24] omg this reminds me why i hate distro channels [16:24] lol [16:24] nbubuntu, odd. for most android tablets ive tried (and phones) i just plug them and be sure the usb is set to media mode,. [16:24] i have a question is it possible to mount a disk to a username in /home such as /home/mikael ? [16:24] coldboot|home: I've noticed Unity copied all my GNOME panel launchers... [16:24] mikael_: sure [16:25] mikael_, you can mount a filesystem anywhere you want. [16:25] mikael_: a disk can be mounted on any mount point [16:25] how do i get wine 1.3.25 to work with pulseaudio [16:25] you ask 100 times until we break down and tell you [16:25] so i can have /home/* mounted to disk A and /home/mikael on disk B ? [16:25] cuz you know, its a secret [16:25] mikael_, yes [16:26] Polah, the only menu I got on the screen, had a item "Check disc for defects" - when I choose that it starts something, but then black screen. [16:26] thanks :-) [16:26] dddbmt_, sounds like you have an improper burn or an incomplete ISO then. [16:26] hjhj [16:26] ikonia: I think a compromise would be to present the user with a suggestion that they try the new Unity desktop, like Gmail does with their new interface. When enough people switch to the new interface, you decide that it's good enough to push to everyone. [16:27] coldboot|home: there isn't a compromise, perhaps I'm not making myself clear [16:27] coldboot|home: ubuntu has dropped gnome-classic - it doesn't want you to use it, to it will not offer you the option after 11.10 as it will not exist [16:27] Hi. Ubuntu 11.04 contains a bug causing custom URL handlers not to work. How do I make an application open when entering e.g. woox://Test in the run dialog in Gnome ? [16:27] coldboot|home: 11.04 is being used to move people to unity [16:27] Polah, okay - thank you for your time! (Now I need to wait untill tomorrow :/ ) [16:28] ikonia: Right, so I'm saying that is a mistake, and it should have been presented to users in previous releases to get people to actually use it. [16:28] coldboot|home: you may think it's a mistake, canonical who develop ubuntu don't, [16:28] I'm pretty Sure Gnome will still be available - at least as an additional install [16:29] coldboot|home, like ikonia said, it was presented in 11.04 [16:29] Jemt: it's not in main anymore which is what canonical support [16:29] ikonia: As long as it's available in one of the other repositories :) [16:29] Polah: How was it presented to the user? [16:29] coldboot|home: it's the default desktop [16:29] coldboot|home: that's how it is presented [16:29] i think the beauty of open source is if somebody really doesn't like it they'll just fork it [16:30] geekbri: Exactly :) [16:30] coldboot|home, yeah. What do you consider as it being presented? [16:30] coldboot|home: perhaps a better place to discuss it is at #ubuntu-devel [16:31] whats the package name for the app that periodically sets the clock? it looks for drift and gets aggressive if the clock is screwy [16:31] CarlFK: ntp? [16:31] auronandace: no, as it's not development discussion [16:31] CarlFK: ntp [16:31] Polah: Showing the user some screen that says "Would you like to try the new Ubuntu Unity desktop?", similar to how Gmail says "Try the new interface", or Google Chrome says "Select your default search engine" when the option to choose those things becomes available. [16:31] how do I switch to sudo? [16:31] I know this discussion over Unity and the roll out schedule of it is very interesting, but could you please take it elsewhere - it's not exactly on topic here. #ubuntu-offtopic has been quiet for a few moments now... [16:31] So that the upgrade is always optional. [16:32] coldboot|home: sorry to have to explain this again, the decision has been take, ubuntu is dropping gnome desktop, that decision is taken, it's over, you now have a choice of using unity, or something else [16:32] Myrtti: ikonia - thanks. that's the one. [16:32] I'm just saying that decision was foolish. [16:32] guys how do I switch to sudo? su?? [16:32] coldboot|home: that's great, now the discussion is over, as canonical disagree with you [16:32] As was the decision to use pulseaudio before it was ready. [16:32] vacho: sudo $command [16:32] Whatever. [16:33] !sudo | vacho [16:33] vacho: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [16:33] i want to see directory structures, what tools are useful?? [16:33] coldboot|home, it's obviously what Canonical thought was the way forward. It's not like they're saying "You can ONLY use Unity and nothing else." [16:33] inhyeoggim: ls [16:33] Polah: I'm not saying they're saying that, I'm saying they shouldn't default people so unfinished software without giving them the choice. [16:33] thx [16:33] no, i am sorry, i want to see all subdirecties [16:33] coldboot|home: do you have a support question? [16:34] inhyeoggim: ls -lR [16:34] inhyeoggim, man ls [16:34] inhyeoggim: "tree" [16:34] aren't there ubuntu variants with gnome and kde? [16:34] !info tree [16:34] * zambaboo facepalms [16:34] tree (source: tree): displays directory tree, in color. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.3-1 (natty), package size 30 kB, installed size 96 kB [16:34] coldboot|home There is a choice. You have the choice to move to another environment if you don't like Unity. [16:35] thank you, i think tree is what i want [16:35] auronandace: Yes, how do you fix compiz's broken "Normal" window resize mode in 11.04. The compiz channel is, as it often is, idle. And there are reported bugs with no comments about this issue here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/815103 and here: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg3090041.html [16:35] Ubuntu bug 815103 in unity (Ubuntu) "Window re-drawing is laggy when window Resize Mode is set to "Normal"" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:35] Polah: Sure, there is the after-the-fact choice. Give the users a choice before you disrupt their user experience. [16:35] no [16:35] Polah: coldboot|home: time to move on to #ubuntu-offtopic. [16:35] coldboot|home: this discussion is over - canonical have taken the decision, is up to you how you deal with it [16:36] I'll probably get a Mac. [16:36] ok, do that [16:36] hello [16:36] hello hello [16:36] lol [16:36] coldboot|home: sorry, i don't use compiz, hopefully somebody can help you with that [16:37] ok, so the libdate-manip-perl in lucid is v 6.05, and according to the creator of Date::Manip, this version has some erros in it fixed in 6.06, and the latest is 6.24. [16:38] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=lucid-backports§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libdate-manip-perl shows that libdate-manip-perl in suite(s) lucid-backports doesn't exist [16:38] how can use apt to get a newer version of libdate-manip-perl into lucid? [16:38] Kireji: not available [16:38] auronandace: I've been using Linux since Redhat 5, and unfortunately it seems that it will take a few weeks to solve an issue after upgrade. [16:39] i know 'uname -a' will give me some info on what Linux I am running, but how do you get it to show the version? Like Ubuntu 10.04 or 11.04 from the command line? [16:39] is there any scanning program that enables you to divide the scanned area to smaller sections and then save each one as separate image? [16:39] how do I find the package maintainer for libdate-manip-perl ? [16:39] designbybeck_: lsb-release -a [16:40] Kireji: look on launchpad.net [16:40] hmmm that didn't work ikonia [16:40] lsb_release -a [16:40] lsb_release -rd [16:40] _ not - [16:40] there we go! Thanks ikonia and IdleOne [16:40] hello all [16:41] is anyone here using multiple X screens (with or without Xinerama) on Natty with success? I use nvidia cards, and every time I try to configure separate X screens X crashes when trying to bring up the gdm login screen [16:41] is there a better picasa for ubuntu than the excreble picasa? [16:42] I installed Oneiric.. but I lost my keyring passwords.. is there something to do to migrate the gnome-keyring ? [16:42] !11.10 | abourget [16:42] !11.10 | abourget [16:42] abourget: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:43] delac: i think xsane might have multicrop [16:48] Why doesn't Gnome-terminal show you the size of the terminal as you resize the window in 11.04, where it did before? [16:49] coldboot|home: It was just turned off in compiz. You can turn it back on. [16:49] rhizmoe: do you know if there is any help page on internet for that? [16:49] edbian: Where do you turn it on? [16:49] coldboot|home: ccsm, you have to install it first though: (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [16:50] !ccsm | coldboot|home [16:50] coldboot|home: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [16:50] hi [16:50] Yeah I have ccsm, what is the specific setting to change it in ccsm? [16:51] coldboot|home: looking now. I thought it was in resize but I don't see it there... [16:51] edbian: Yeah it's definitely not there. [16:52] Why was that turned off in 11.04? [16:52] It's the "resize info" gadget. [16:52] When I leave my sony vaio for long time it seem to reboot? I will start in windows or Linux and I find it has boot back into Linux . Any idea what to do [16:52] coldboot|home: a-ha! [16:52] must of gotten decided it was useless eyecandy. :) [16:53] hello [16:53] I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a Lenovo Ideapad S100. The wireless [16:53] network card is a Realtek RTL8188CE. Have installed the driver from [16:53] Realtek, with make, make install. The wireless connectivity is still [16:53] not working. Any suggestions? Thanks. [16:53] coldboot|home: There are too many plugins in ccsm :P [16:53] The joys of upgrading Linux distros, spend two weeks fixing everything you had working before. [16:53] i want to create FAT32 partition on SD card for digital camera [16:53] i use cfdisk [16:53] coldboot|home: :) [16:53] cant say ive ever seen a upgrade turn off my compiz settings.. [16:53] coldboot|home: use Debian. Nothing ever changes [16:53] which partition type i should use? 0B OR 0C? [16:53] dr_willis: well unity has a whole bunch of different compiz settings. [16:53] delac: this should get you going: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1165797.html [16:54] Unity is also using a differnet area to store its compiz settings by default. if it dident.. then the old settings could break unity i guess edbian. so it makes sence. [16:54] edbian: Yeah I left Debian because nothing got better. [16:54] Oops, sorry about all those line breaks; anyway, I hope the question is clear. [16:55] dr_willis: yeah [16:55] coldboot|home: haha :) [16:55] nyraghu: did you check the driver you compiled is actually being used? [16:56] how do i get wine 1.3.25 to work with pulseaudio [16:56] Hi all, guys there is some pretty explanation about this? http://pastebin.com/xYQf8y8G [16:56] kingofswords, for a game ? [16:56] yeh [16:57] could somone help me out with this? [16:57] http://wiki.winehq.org/USB [16:57] i dont have a patch cmd [16:57] i read there were pulse driver for wine in a ppa or s'thing but cant find them [16:57] filo1234: gnome likes to insist you have some browser installed [16:57] edbian: lsmod | grep rtl shows rtl8192ce 127492 0, so it looks like it is being used. [16:58] nyraghu: then perhaps that driver just doesn't work [16:58] kingofswords, does the game have any audio or media configurations , like linking to an audio device ? [16:59] edbian: :-/ gnome is freaky [16:59] filo1234: yes [16:59] BluesKaj, i dont really understand what u mean....its not connected to any audio device thou [16:59] so I obbligated to have a browser [16:59] edbian: perhaps. I was hoping if there were any alternative ways/drivers. [17:00] ikonia: thanks, I just submitted a bug report on launchpad [17:00] nyraghu: what card do you use? [17:00] BluesKaj, should i uninstall wine 1.3.25 and install a ppa ver of 1.3.26? [17:00] edbian: kde too...have nonsense [17:01] kingofswords, for example , are there options like choosing audio settings in the game [17:01] filo1234: yes, haha [17:01] edbian: Realtek RTL8188CE. [17:01] filo1234: A browser is an important app on the desktop [17:01] BluesKaj, no there isnt [17:01] kingofswords, bummer [17:01] the sound works when i disable pulse but if i do anything included changing volume it stops [17:02] is there a way to map multiple folders from one volume into other folders in another volume [17:02] rhizmoe: yes, that seems to work, althoug it seems that xsane wants to scan each area separately rather than scanning once and then dividing the large image to smaller sections. bit more harsh for the scanner but might suffice. thanks! [17:03] edbian: yeah but I'll like to use what I want! :D like opera, and don't have cromium or firefox too....or rekonk or konqueror [17:03] nyraghu: This site: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl819x?highlight=%28RTL8188CE%29 says your driver is correct for your card. sudo iwlist scan ? [17:03] filo1234: Mm, I'm pretty sure you can remove all drivers. I'm just not sure how. [17:03] filo1234: is opera in the rpeos? [17:03] edbian: nope was only an example... [17:04] filo1234: a-ha [17:04] edbian: change my example with lynx :p [17:04] filo1234: :) [17:04] hi. I just installed ubuntu with a live cd on a acer old netbook,. I chosed to mantain windows vista. All the installation was OK, but after booting grub doesn't show and windows always starts. How can I solve? [17:04] could somone help me out with this , http://wiki.winehq.org/USB? [17:05] delac: ah, well that's what my 5min of googling turned up :) could be better done in postprocessing [17:05] edbian: OMG http://pastebin.com/VvfjtBKA [17:05] hi [17:05] filo1234: that's... wrong [17:06] connected to ssh share folder via places, connect to... - where is this connection linked in the file system? [17:06] edbian: iwlist scan gives lot of output, and lists all the 4 wireless switches that are accessible to me. [17:06] raven: Under ~/.gvfs [17:06] nyraghu: the network card is working [17:06] nyraghu: :) [17:06] edbian: nope that's crazy IMHO [17:06] filo1234: yes [17:06] Pici, tnx [17:08] does anyone here have experience working with hostapd? [17:08] rhizmoe: might be. do you know any image prosessing programs that are able to auto-crop and save large images to several smaller ones? [17:10] Can someone help me with setting up SSH with key authentication? I am confused between where to run ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id. [17:10] delac: "multi crop" is the search term i used [17:11] I ran ssh-keygen on my client computer, as stated by the guide on community pages (The computer I will be connected FROM, TO my server/main pc) [17:11] sosaited: i've never used ssh-copy-id for that stuff [17:11] delac: imagemagick [17:11] rhizmoe, I should have run ssh-keygen -t rsa -b4096 " etc on which computer? [17:12] delac: via the 'convert' or 'mogrify' binaries, See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php for documentation, as it is very powerful. [17:12] sosaited: you got the first part correct. Now use ssh-copy-id on that same machine, to copy the id file to your remote server [17:12] anyone: i know linux "should" be just about virus free from the net; however, is there software, ie. avg, spybot, malware bytes, etc. that is available for ubuntu 11.04 [17:12] WCwarrior: look up ClamAV [17:12] sosaited, doesnt matter where you run it, but generally you would run it on the client machine so that if the client is compromised other clients dont have to get a new key from the server [17:12] oCean, By "remote" server. You mean the server, or the client, FROM WHICH I will be connecting to my pc? [17:13] rakathan: k thanks. anything else as well?> [17:13] WCwarrior: not that I know of...common sense is my best defense :P [17:13] sosaited, so if A,B,C will connect to D then A,B,C each run ssh-keygen and then ssh-copy-id username@D [17:13] sosaited: on your client, from which you will be ssh'ing, run ssh-copy-id user@server [17:13] escott, Ok. I did run it on the client. but now my client has 4096 bit key. and server has 2048 bit [17:13] sosaited, and if A is compromised then the line corresponding to A in D's .ssh/authorized_keys is removed [17:14] oCean, I already did that. It said "No identities found"; [17:14] could someone help me with getting wine to see a usb device [17:14] escott: or copy the public and private key pair to each of those, there may not need to be a different keyfile created for each [17:14] rakathan: thanks. [17:14] no. you want one key that you copy your one private key to each of your potential source accounts, with the pub key going to each of the destination accounts [17:14] edbian: yes, it's working in the sense that it recognizes the switches, etc, but it is not connecting to them, even though i don't need authentication for them. network manager takes a few minutes trying to connect, and then gives up saying "wireless network disconnected". Should I try ndiswrapper? [17:14] sosaited: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server [17:14] escott, , Got it. [17:14] typically i try to choose just one "home base" where the priv key lies and that i connect to all other machines from. [17:15] Pici, but if you do that and A is compromised then everyone has to get a new key. if each has its own key then only D would be a critical point of failure [17:15] escott: Aye, you need to weigh your options :) [17:15] Anyone, elinks text terminal connects properly to network printer hosted by cups `sudo elinks http://192.168.0.100:631` on a mac. The elinks program is able to print a test page; administration gives 403 error. However, the 'Applications->System->Printing applet is not able to locate the printer and connect. I have found nothing helpful in Google. [17:16] ok now i feel really dumb, can somebody tell me how to call I guess network manager from the cli and connect to some wifi? [17:16] intrader: On a mac? What does that have to do with Ubuntu? [17:17] Pici: Can't you have the system to reissue a new key after a certain number of days??? [17:17] Pici, the mac hosts the CUPS server. I want to print from ubuntu. [17:17] hey folks, don't know if the problem happens just for me but in ubuntu 11.04 the drivers atl1c and ath9k don't work at the same time... the system always happens to freezes at the splash screen... to get the system work i need to first disable my wireless card and then rmmod any of the drivers [17:17] sosaited, in my network every computer has every other computers public key, and its own. so my desktop auth_keys file includes the desktop, laptop, and server keys for my username. that way I can ssh myself@anywhere and not worry about things too much [17:17] oCean, It again says no identities found " sudo ssh-copy-id ' -p 1221 -i /home/ub/.ssh/id_rsa.pub us@domain.dyndns-work.com' [17:17] intrader: ah, I misread :) [17:17] Pici, np [17:18] intrader, does you ubuntu machine have the proper printer drivers installed on it? [17:18] hello my laptop is samsung RV509 running Natty was working well.. last week while the bootup i have raised the volume by continously pressing FN & VOL+ key, from that onwards there is no sound. Kinldy someone help me to resolve this problem [17:18] rakathan, the printer is not connected to ubuntu, does it need printer drivers? [17:18] Pici: imagemagic is very powerful tool, but I'm in bit need of some sort of GUI here. Mostly to check that the autocrop has worked correctly and to correct it if needed. [17:19] intrader, usually yes, unless the CUPS server has drivers available for ubuntu to pick up [17:19] sosaited: check ls -al ~/.ssh/ to see if the id_rsa.pub does exist there [17:19] sosaited, don't sudo. thats trying to copy the key out of /root/.ssh [17:19] oh [17:19] ^^that [17:19] oCean, i had to read it like five times to see that [17:20] intrader I ran a CUPS server from an Ubuntu machine and tried to print from a Windows machine...I had to install the printer drivers on the Windows machine before it would work [17:20] escott: nice spot :) [17:20] oCean, Yes it does exist [17:20] escott, I did that too. It said "Permission denied (publickey)." [17:20] sosaited: you created the rsa using sudo? [17:20] escott, Why isn't it asking for that username's password first? [17:20] oCean, Nope [17:21] hi can anyone give me link to download source for g++4.5 [17:21] hi === help is now known as Guest33491 [17:21] sosaited, it may be trying to use some other identity and then failing can you just ssh -vvv up@domain.... [17:21] subh have you tried www.google.com? [17:21] subh: packages.ubuntu.com doesn't work for you? [17:21] yes [17:21] rakathan, so what do I need in ubuntu to connect to a CUPS server on the mac? [17:21] hi [17:22] let me chek [17:22] intrader, what brand printer is it? Ideally, they have linux drivers available [17:22] is there anyway to get a really small ubuntu install with just enough to run a shell and install other things? [17:22] base system installs a bunch of crap [17:22] !minimal | milkpost [17:22] milkpost: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:22] milkpost: there used to be a minimal install [17:22] milkpost: oh, we went over this already, didn't we? [17:22] Pici: you and i talked about it but there was no resolution [17:23] Slart: minimal install just means everything gets downloaded off the network, not that the resulting installed software is minimal [17:23] milkpost: I'll let someone lese have a shot then ;) [17:23] Pici: yeah, sorry was just trying to see fi there was other input from other people. may have to post on the forums [17:23] sosaited: your error (no identities found) means that the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub does not exist (or is not readable). The other error (permission denied, publickey) probably means that you don't have the correct permissions on either the pubkey or the ~/.ssh directory on the remote server [17:23] escott, It gave me a lot of info. [17:23] milkpost, why not just use debian [17:23] milkpost: oh... my bad then, sorry [17:23] sosaited, you can use fewer "v" to be less verbose [17:24] escott: hrm. i dunno, i guess it's worth a shot [17:24] sosaited: have you manually created ~/.ssh on the remote server? Or is it existing? [17:24] oCean, On the REMOTE server? I guess that will be the case. .ssh on the server needs to be? [17:24] escott: what will I be missing mainly? [17:24] how do I get my tv out working on ubuntu? [17:24] oCean, NO . I just manually created on the client yet [17:24] any ideas on how to start it up?? [17:24] bascially my graphics card has a HDMI out I plugged into my tv [17:24] milkpost, thats kinda the point. you would be missing most of the stuff you wanted to remove anyways. [17:24] slart thanx bt i want to download source but it is .deb file [17:24] sosaited: no, ssh-copy-id will create it (if it does not exist) [17:24] I installed the nvidia drivers.. but still no picture... [17:24] milkpost, try the server edition [17:24] rakathan, I am confused - I have tried on ubuntu the elinks program. It is able to see the printer and print a test page. No driver needed. [17:25] how do i restart apache with sudo? [17:25] sosaited: to be sure, on the remote server, IF ~/.ssh exists it should have 600 permissions (only read for owner) [17:25] oCean, I am running ssh-copy-id on my client. Not server. Where I ran ssh-keygen already. ON THE SERVER. I didn't create the keys myself [17:25] negueba: just installed that. it's better (has a "virtual machine") type install but the vmware image is still like 600MB and trying to get it down for students to download for a class [17:25] cook1es, sudo service apache restart (i think) [17:25] subh: there should be a link to download source packages on the same page where you see dependencies and such [17:25] intrader, I see...that is strange then...so there's some kind of disconnect in the GUI that isn't detecting the printer [17:25] subh: on the right side [17:25] escott: for some reason I got stuck on the idea that i wanted students to have something comfortable to use but they'll just be using the shell anyways, probably not much different there. [17:26] intrader, I'm afraid I can't help with that one...You could always try installing the drivers for your printer on the Ubuntu machine to see if anything changes [17:26] got it [17:26] sosaited: no, the ssh-keygen should be done on the CLIENT and the ssh-copy-id should be done on the CLIENT (copying it TO the SERVER) [17:26] escott: thx [17:26] oCean, Like I mentioned before. Its all because I am confusing the terms on the guide with something else I guess. It said to run that command on the client. By that I understand the computer I will be connecting FROM. So I did run ssh-keygen on client, with folder set at 777 or 755 permission . whatever guide said [17:26] Is there any known problems with USB and VirtualBox (windows XP as guest OS)? I'm trying to connect som DJ hardware threw USB. It finds the unit, I installed the USB drivers. The software finds the unit as an external soundcard. But nothing happens when I pusch the buttons. If I boot Windows directly everything workes... [17:27] oCean, Yes. I am doing that then [17:27] slart i din't get link [17:28] sosaited, on every computer you control what you want to do is: ssh-keygen, and then ssh-copy-id to your other machine. that will give the computer you are sitting at access to your account on the other machine [17:28] rakathan, the printer connected to mac is an HP Deskjet 5400 series. On ubuntu ubuntu 9.04 I did not have to install anything to reach that CUPS server. [17:28] oCean, Oh btw. What does "HostBasedAuthentication yes" does on the server? [17:28] subh: on the right side of this page http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/g++-4.5 you'll see "Download Source Package gcc-4.5". Below that are 3 links [17:28] escott, That's exactly what I am tryng to do :s [17:29] I need help! [17:29] I decided to power down with "suspend" in ubuntu [17:29] But now it wont turn on [17:29] sosaited, HostbasedAuthentication Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication together with successful public key client host authentication is allowed (host-based authentication). This option is similar t RhostsRSAAuthentication and applies to protocol version 2 only. The default is “no”. [17:29] The computer gets very loud and the monitor displays no signal [17:29] intrader, you're right. The situation I had is unrelated to this. My only advice would be to find the name of the GUI that manages printers and google it =/ ...sorry [17:30] thanx slart [17:30] subh: you're welcome [17:30] escott, It was no before. Should I change it to that? . I had changed that back to yes by mistake when I was allowing the password access [17:30] oCean, http://paste.ubuntu.com/668462/ [17:30] Can someone plz help me? [17:30] fredrik_: This will probably not work because of how sound works with dj equipment... Hold on can't remember the exact term [17:30] hello someone plz help... my laptop is samsung RV509 running Natty was working well.. last week while the bootup i have raised the volume by continously pressing FN & VOL+ key, from that onwards there is no sound. Kinldy someone help me to resolve this problem [17:30] rakathan, it is in 'Applications->System->Printing' - I can't make it see the CUPS server. [17:30] :( [17:31] sosaited, i think what it means (and may be the answer to your earlier question), is if you put the other host in /etc/hosts.equiv and set up auth_keys for the ROOT user on the two machines, then ANYONE on those machines can login to the other machine [17:31] thinku are u new to linux? [17:31] DebiansArmy, The sound works! No problem there. But nothing happens in the program when I push the buttons... [17:31] Can someone help me? [17:31] could someone help me with getting wine to see a usb device [17:32] can someone recommend a newsgroups program? [17:32] organiks: sure, does Linux recognize the USB device? [17:32] negueba:yes i am new to linux.. [17:32] ubuntu doesn't recognize samsung galaxy tab at all , anyone can tell me how to fix it ? [17:32] escott, I see. I will set it up after I get this first thing working :) [17:32] any help please? [17:32] hi [17:32] sosaited, thats not really good security practice hence the default NO (you don't want alice@A to ssh into bob@B just because alice and bob are both uid 1001) [17:32] escott, Hmm. I'll change it back then :) [17:32] My computer wont turn on after using "suspend" in ubuntu, my computer gets very loud and the monitor displays "no signal" [17:32] thinku try to open the terminal and type "alsamixer", then do the set up [17:32] DebiansArmy, The sound works like it suppose to.. the problem is that NOTHING happens when I push the buttons! [17:33] fredrik_: Yes has to do with ports on dj device dont work with linux hold on there is a specific way they hook up ports I would suggest looking at ubuntu studio [17:33] slart again i have problem dat i cant download it [17:33] trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on toshiba a300 but the installer freezes [17:33] subh: how do you mean you "can't download it"? you get some kind of error? it's taking too long? out of disk space? [17:33] Anyone know how to get the Unity menu back? I was trying to fix my dualscreen setup but for some reason mu Unity menu is gone. I'm logged in on Classic right now. [17:33] any help?????? [17:33] DebiansArmy, But I'm running it in VirtualBox? [17:34] Please someone help [17:34] Can anyone help me with installing the brcm80211 driver? [17:34] no bt on clicking it is giving me lots of option [17:34] not for download [17:34] DebiansArmy, My problem is that it doesn't work when I'm running the software on Windows XP in VirtualBox [17:34] Why does root use 127.0.1.1?

Version 1.08-2 (natty), package size 39 kB, installed size 192 kB [17:55] Deadh_juggalol: Tried turning it off and on agaim? [17:55] frankbro hahaha, I've had countless problems with the exact same card...if you're willing to wipe your system and start over, I can tell you what finally ended up working for me [17:55] ActionParsnip, Where can I get the None OSE version of Virtualbox? [17:55] frankbro: that one sounds like it could be useful.. if it can match on cpu usage === Asad-zZzZz is now known as Asad [17:55] fredrik_:Google.com [17:55] fredrik_: check the vbox site, there is a repo you can add [17:55] how i change my ip on suse? always that i restart the computer, appears the old configuration about ip [17:55] jbwiv, Yes I have Nvidia. I'm using 'Current' as driver. Recommended. [17:55] FuzzyNuts: not constructive [17:55] Slart, thx [17:56] FuzzyNuts: when helping, be helpful. Telling people to google it isn't. [17:56] pyro: rm /bin/ [17:56] rakathan, why? What happened with it and why wiping the system might help? [17:56] iDirk, and you're running separate X screens with xinerama enabled? three monitors? [17:56] yea it went straight to run after the restricted extras install, but then the next time back to install now. [17:56] html, i have tried increasing the volume in Gui window also, instead of pressing keys. still no audio. [17:56] fredrik_: Linux has drivers for all these keyboards, mice, monitors, ipods, camera's, but not for controller... [17:56] ActionParsnip, So if I install the "none OSE version" I get more direct access to USB ports? [17:56] jbwiv, 2 monitors, Xscreen enabled but Xinerama disabled. [17:57] ActionParsnip: ok got it, so then what is (or can you point me in the direction to find out) the command to run bsdgames once i install it through apt-get [17:57] guys, when i copy/paste text from Libre Office it pastes html tags (span with info on font) and comments. How do i disable it? [17:57] jbwiv, 2 cards. [17:57] I cloned my ubuntu partition on a new disk using dd .. Now I am booted into ubuntu with my old hdd ... how do I write grub stuff on the new hdd? [17:57] frankbro my problems involved dual-screen display not working...I reinstalled the OS, did all the updates possible (especially kernel updates), grabbed the drivers from AMD's site and installed them WITHOUT catalyst control center [17:57] DebiansArmy, If I could run my hardware on linux.. I wouldnt need virtualbox? [17:57] fredrik_: yes, you will need virtualbox 4.1 [17:57] Asad: have you tried buying a mac? [17:57] iDirk, ah, ok. Twinview works flawlessly for me with two monitors. However, three monitors break my setup :( [17:57] FuzzyNuts do you have sure that if i will delete /bin/, dont afect my computer ? [17:57] ActionParsnip, Thanks.. will try that [17:57] pyro1: It will be fine [17:57] jbwiv, Funny. I can't enable TwinView for some reason. [17:57] pyro1, do NOT delete /bin [17:57] I'm getting pissed of at ati, I'm thinking of building a ubuntu gaming pc with components extremely well supported. Is there any link to one or guide maybe? [17:57] FuzzyNuts: that was funny [17:58] IdleOne oks [17:58] ls [17:58] fredrik_: Which system is in VM??? [17:58] iDirk, because you're using two cards [17:58] pyro1, also if you are using Suse please ask in #suse [17:58] iDirk, twinview only works on one card with dual outputs [17:58] "Enter password to employ your login keyring. The password you use to login to your computerno longer matches that of your login keyring." (I had to change my password. I do not remember the old password of the keyring.) How can I give the login keyring a new password? [17:58] jbwiv, Ah, didn't know that. Thanks. [17:58] frankbro I know Nvidia has great drivers for Linux...but good luck with gaming [17:58] you guys think on that, ill try a reboot again an see [17:58] Lolz [17:59] hello [17:59] iDirk, no problem [17:59] how I add the ALT-F2 "Run..." command to the menu? [17:59] bullgard6: there is a setting in security section ( I believe, you can setup the password there ) [17:59] hello Pirate :-) [17:59] Yarr [17:59] Pici: The install pulled in a file from openwrt and unpacked it, but the file must be very old. I need bcmwlhigh5, and its not there. But now I know where to get it, and I assume it can also work with the device makers install cd. Thank you very much. [17:59] rakathan, I always played wow and tff2 on wine without issue .. until lately [18:00] yarr harr fiddle-dee-dee, being a Pirate is alright to be, do what you want 'cos a pirate is free! you are a Pirate! [18:00] yarr harr fiddle-dee-dee, being a Pirate is alright to be, do what you want 'cos a pirate is free! you are a Pirate!

I first suggest you check in ccsm under gnome compatibility to make sure alt+f2 works [18:00] hi guys.. I'm on ubuntu natty.. I just installed compiz and restarted my system... Now when I press Ctrl+Alt+T my terminal window refuses to open (i.e using the shortcut key).. So I went into the system settings, and went to keyboard shortcuts and added the terminal shortcut but after applying it it says disabled. It doesnt work.. Please help [18:01] FuzzyNuts, that is quiet enough [18:01] how i change the ip but i dont have lost the configuration when i restart the computer ? i type eth0 NEW-IP and change but i restart the computer and desappear this configuration [18:01] quite* [18:02] frankbro, unless you're wanting to do OpenCL calculations with lots of integers, Nvidia tends to have better support in almost every way for Ubuntu...the tradeoff is raw performance, as AMD has better hardware generally [18:02] All I wanted was that fire burner cursor and that was why I installed compiz, now my terminal shortcut command aint working and the fire burner cursor didn't even show [18:02] rakathan, I was actually looking in getting on CUDA or openCL [18:02] hi [18:02] ActionParsnip: when I press Alt-F2 the Run dialog box pops up, so I thought I would be able to make it pop up with a command in the menu? (instead of having to press keyboard keys) [18:02] A [18:03] can't activate bloc scorr on 11.04 [18:03] salmiak: it remembers the last few commands, use cursors [18:03] i press it but it never activate [18:03] ActionParsnip: now I don't understand what you mean [18:03] I have lost the time/date from panel. i think its crashed. Please help me command to restore time/date on the panel [18:04] frankbro: what is this for video games or Linux???? [18:04] Hmm [18:04] i need it, turn on keyboard retro light [18:04] rakathan, you wouldnt happen to know a list of well supported component that works well with wine? I just want it hurrdurr just work [18:04] DebiansArmy, vidya games [18:04] DebiansArmy, Host is Ubuntu, GuestOS is Windows XP [18:04] Hello. I am using nvidia-glx-173 with a "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]". Can anyone help me getting opengl to work, please? [18:04] the thing is I want to have the "Run..." in the gnome menu, instead of havting to press Alt-F2 or generate a separate button in a panel [18:04] What should I do? [18:05] ActionParsnip: ok got it, so then what is (or can you point me in the direction to find out) the command to run bsdgames once i install it through apt-get [18:05] ActionParsnip, i have pasted the script output here http://paste.ubuntu.com/668488/ [18:05] how do i write unicode characters to text file? [18:05] frankbro, I'm afraid I can't help there...I just know from experience that working with Nvidia drivers is a lot more pleasant than working with AMD drivers [18:05] i'm doing something like, python myscript.py > output.txt [18:06] Nevermind.. I got it working [18:06] python throws UnicodeEncodeError, but prints correctly to standard output [18:06] ActionParsnip, is this the one I should get? http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [18:06] Cluless: it adds multiple commands, http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/bsdgames [18:06] negueba: i tried giving pulseaudio cmd.. pulseaudio [18:06] E: pid.c: Daemon already running. [18:06] E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. [18:06] Can someone tell me whether or not Google Chrome prompts you to remember your username/password for this site? Just enter whatever for the user/pass https://extranet.bookit.com/index.php. For some reason it doesn't prompt me, but for other sites it does. [18:06] rakathan, then would you recommend a model ? [18:06] frankbro: The best I could do was using the Gt serious with gddr3 to work in linux flawless Not sure about the way your going hold on there is other vm manager that runs games through linux.... [18:07] ActionParsnip: Ty sir [18:07] pr0ton: python2 has a bunch of issues going back and forth between unicode, you generally just need to add .encode('utf8') to your strings before printing them (can probably get more help in #python) [18:07] anyone in here use pan newsreader? [18:07] slart i got this error can u tell me something about this [18:07] pici can u tell me about this [18:07] thinku: is the correct sound device selected in sound prefs?

[18:08] frankbro, check newegg or any other store that sells computer parts...they can help a lot more with your specific needs...the top of the line model right now is the GTX 580 which runs about $500 [18:09] frankbro: You want to know what the best card you can use in linux and play games on windows is not sure might have to check around [18:09] frankbro, you'll get plenty of gaming muscle from any $250 card though [18:09] subh: Why are you using dpkg instead of apt-get? [18:09] so any know a way to jump straight to "try" instead of "install" on linuxlive usb? [18:09] can someone gime a run down on the diffrences between partedmagic and system rescue cd? [18:09] frankbro since this is the support channel and not the video card shopping channel, you should probably look elsewhere for better advice [18:09] i know this is ubuntu channel but idk where else to look [18:09] to install .deb file [18:09] frankbro good luck though! [18:09] rakathan, I'm not looking for top of the line, I'm looking for perfectly working .. and able to do CUDA/openCL [18:09] frankbro: all going to come down to your psu anyways... [18:10] subh: install build-essential and you'll get the compiler [18:10] subh: apt-get handles all the dependencies for you, you should be using that to install software rather than via dpkg manually. [18:10] rakathan, I will, thx a lot man [18:10] ActionParsnip: I found the relevant dialog window in "Passwords and Encryption Keys". But this requires that I key in first the old password which I have forgotten. Is the only solution to de-install and re-install the program "Passwords and Encryption Keys"? [18:10] frankbro ANY modern video card can do OpenCL === newbie|3 is now known as vibedigital [18:10] Hi please check this image. I cannot edit date/time "show clock in menu bar" And its not showing in the menu bar also. Please check this image http://www.diigo.com/item/t/2480215_83914143_4269094 for more info [18:10] Can someone suggest a good FTP server? [18:10] !ftpd | cook1es_ [18:10] cook1es_: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [18:10] frankbro and ANY Nvidia card can do CUDA if it was made in the past 4-5 years [18:10] Pici: Any own preferences? :) [18:10] problem with updating repo. [18:10] wo [18:10] rakathan, alright [18:10] bullgard6: not sure there dude, I always just set a blank password and be done [18:11] ActionParsnip: Ok.Thank you. [18:11] rakathan: that is what I look at is Newegg for new motherboard, memory or video card great advice and hardware site... ;) [18:11] so i downloaded .deb file [18:11] and tried with manually install [18:11] cook1es_: I've used vsftpd successfully in the past. [18:12] ActionParsnip, thanks in Sound preference, it was made to mute... [18:12] subh: I told you that we will help you diagnose and fix your repo issue. [18:13] thinku: that'll do it, all better? [18:13] I am missing a plugin in a typing game. Is there a package I can download? [18:13] ACtionParsnip, html, i am clueless.. why in the tray icon,it is NOT showing MUTE.. [18:13] I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, my FS all gone into readonly mode... [18:13] heh... can't mount dvd... I don't know why but all other DVD is being mounted fine. [18:14] even i pressed FN & VOL+ key, and the progress bar shown volume increase.. but no sound [18:14] but after entering into the sound preference, one of the audio out was mute ! [18:16] Besogon: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [18:16] ActionParsnip, html: thankyou all [18:16] thinku: try: alsamixer [18:17] Morning guys, So I am trying to get "espeak" to run without any root or sudo privileges as it will be running off another service (motion, security camera software). Can't seem to get it to output anything, I have used "usermod -s /bin/bash -G audio,pulse,pulse-access,plugdev,video motion" and still no luck. [18:17] does anyone here have any experience with hostapd on Ubuntu? [18:17] leg3nd: espeak doesn't need root access etc, users can run it [18:18] I cannot edit date/time "show clock in menu bar" And its not showing in the menu bar also. Please check this image http://www.diigo.com/item/t/2480215_83914143_4269094 for more info [18:18] Anyone here know if a PCI express parallel port adapter might be supported by linux? [18:18] ActionParsnip, Interesting, any ideas why it would not be outputing audio under a normal user then? Yet it does with sudo. [18:18] nsd_, I'd be very surprised if it isn't supported [18:19] leg3nd: are you using it in terminal to test? [18:19] rakathan: Same here, but I can remember reading something about the parallel port driver in linux becoming unmaintained [18:19] Jordan_U, WOW. you are a magician. May be even David Blain are envying to you. Somehow after your words the disk is playing!!!! :D [18:19] I have just installed netspeed on ubuntu, and I cant see it anywhere in the add to panel box, what is it called? [18:19] ActionParsnip, yes sir [18:19] or do I need to restart? [18:19] I get "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!". lsmod says "nvidia_agp". Any idea? [18:19] ActionParsnip, I have tested it with the motion service to begin with but to no success, so I am testing in terminal now. [18:19] leg3nd: what is output when you try? [18:20] Has anyone had any luck with installing subsonic on a server that's also running apache? I can get it to respond on the LAN, but not from outside, despite having ports forwarded properly. [18:20] nsd_, do you have a brand name you can check on? maybe their site has linux drivers if Ubuntu doesn't come with them [18:20] ActionParsnip, Normal output, identical to when it is ran with sudo. "espeak "hello" --stdout | aplay" outputs "Playing WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono" [18:21] leg3nd: why not just: espeak "test" [18:21] is there a way to install the older grub package? [18:21] nvidia-glx-173 is installed. Can someone help me, please? [18:21] ActionParsnip, same deal with that [18:21] DebiansArmy, Don't know if you saw it.. You asked me witch OS i run in Virtualbox. The answer is. Ubuntu as host and Windows XP as guest. The DJ software runs in windows and finds the hardware but nothing happens when I push the buttons... [18:21] that is what i started with but i just started trying other options [18:21] mrgenixus: Why? [18:21] becuase I can manually boot that [18:22] I cannot manually boot the new version [18:22] unless I can find a guide on doing that [18:22] update-grub did not correctly-configure grub for my system [18:22] ActionParsnip, when i create a new user such with " useradd -s /bin/bash -M -G audio,pulse,pulse-access,video testuser" it appears to work with those privilages. Yet not with the privalges of motion. [18:22] rakathan: I'm looking at a StarTech branded model, and to my surprise their site has a patch for the 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels [18:23] rakathan: Thanks for the suggestion; ordinarily I wouldn't even bother checking the available drivers [18:23] leg3nd: check group membership dude [18:23] (from the mfg. site anyway) [18:23] What does "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!" mean? [18:23] nsd_, haha...it's still a long shot if they haven't kept it up to date, but good luck [18:23] vlt: do you have the kernel module installed? [18:24] Anyone, the 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer - now the applet does not start [18:24] ActionParsnip, which group? they seems to be in identical groups [18:24] mrgenixus: The steps for booting manually with grub2 are almost identical to those for grub legacy. The only differences you're likely to encounter are 1: It's "root=(hdX,Y)" rather than "root (hdX,Y)" and 2: Partitions are numbered from 1 instead of from zero. [18:24] i used ntfscp to copy my home directory to the windows partition a while back. now i want to delete it. windows delete does not work. is there a tool in ntfsprogs that can delete it? otherwise, is there a way i can boot ubuntu and mount the windows partition with full permissions? or, any other suggestions? [18:24] mrgenixus: I have "nvidia-glx-173" installed. [18:24] leg3nd: ah, that's what I was getting at [18:25] mrgenixus: Is this ehat I need? [18:25] *what [18:25] vlt, that's the X driver, not the kernel driver [18:25] you need both [18:25] hey guys and gals, I don't suppose anyone has any good ways on changing chrome keys under 11.04 ? trying to set c-[ as previousTab [18:25] mrgenixus: Where do I find the kernel driver? [18:25] mrgenixus: Sorry, and rather than "kernel /path/to/vmlinuz" it's "linux /path/to/vmlinuz". [18:25] fredrik_: Had time to think about why doesn't work.... Now remember, look that is a control it can be made to put different noises on pads, scratching buts ect... Now this is called out by defined geometry so if it calls the but 3e12 how is linux going to understand that is the pad.... See this is why it wont work... Linux has no driver to understand your putting new sound to pad 3e12... [18:25] vlt the package name is nvidia-kernel, IIRC [18:25] mrgenixus: Thank you, I'll try that … [18:25] ActionParsnip, ill double check real quick.. Thats kinda the first thing i was thinking about was the groups since the user was created for the service and not normal use. [18:25] mrgenixus: What problem are you having specifically? [18:25] but = button [18:25] ops [18:26] mrgenixus: "nvidia-kernel-common" is already installed. [18:26] oh! autokey !! never mind .. thanks everyone :) === Mud is now known as Guest84884 [18:27] rakathan: I knew there was a way to run windows games in linux. Only its not free with codeweaver and crossover games... ;) [18:27] DebiansArmy, Still why should Linux understand this? I'm running this on windows in virtualbox... Shouldn't windows get direct access to the USB port on the computor? I know that there is no drivers to this omnicontrol for linux. Thats why I'm running windows in virtualbox? [18:27] ActionParsnip, http://paste.pound-python.org/show/11161/ =\ [18:28] hello === kms_ is now known as zen_lunatic3 [18:28] i mean, if there is ntfscp, why is there not an ntfsdelete or something in ntfsprogs? [18:28] Jordan_U: specifically, my system loads grub, never loads the OS [18:28] DebiansArmy: Yep, there's also Wine but it oftens requires a lot of tweaking and can break easily...framerates are also significantly slower compared to games in Windows [18:28] can you vote for my game... [18:28] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tcIQlip0yY [18:28] http://tehnik.mobitel.si/wp7-glasovanje/?aplikacija=3 [18:28] I have just installed netspeed.. what is it called on the add to panel menu? I cant find it anywhere [18:28] here [18:28] loki_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:28] loki_: Do not advertise here. [18:29] okej...sory [18:29] Kingsy, there might not be an icon...did you install it from the command line or from the software center? [18:29] Hi, any know if there is any software that can suggest that I should stop using my computer and do some pause-movements (e.g. to prevent neck damage)? (i did a fast google search and some synaptic word searches) [18:29] i recently moved my home directory onto a new partition and have since been experiencing all sorts of problems with ubuntu. in particular, when i go to reboot i get a popup saying file manager (nautilus) is not responding and have to force it to close [18:29] Jordan_U: It may just be taking a long time... [18:29] rakathan: I installed it using apt-get so from cmd line [18:29] but it doesn't seem to be working [18:30] the system also becomes very slow sometimes [18:30] can anyone give me any advice on where to start with this? [18:30] Kingsy there might not be an icon...you may need to create a launcher manually with a symbolic link [18:30] rakathan: ok... [18:30] mrgenixus: And there’s “nvidia-173-ker…” pkg installed. [18:31] Kingsy, you could also just run it from the command line [18:31] joru: I know I've seen something... let me do a little looking. [18:31] rakathan: what is the netspeed binary called? [18:31] Kingsy I'm not sure...do you know the package name? we can look for it there [18:32] rakathan: well to install it it was simply apt-get install netspeed [18:32] rakathan: how can we find the binary name/location from that? [18:32] Pici: ok, thx [18:32] Hello. Do I need to compile the nvidia kernel first before using it? [18:32] dans: how did you move your /home and what fs is it on? [18:32] fredrik_: Look I will make this real simple to understand... Lets say you push a button on the controller... Now, what is it to do with the response.. Make the window scroll down, Double click on Icon... It is not going to recognize what response is let alone call out a sound... I wish that it understood just to play audio output... Since you have so many buttons and controls windows is... [18:32] ...going to pass the data to linux and turn off the monitor ... It simply doesn't know what to do with the key pressed.... I wish it looked at it and said open up audio ouput.... [18:33] or rather nvidia kernel module? [18:33] Kingsy, see if this helps http://www.ubuntugeek.com/netspeed-traffic-monitor-applet-for-gnome.html [18:33] mrgenixus: Have you tried the recovery mode entry in the grub menu? [18:33] auronandace: i created a new ext4 partition, copied everything over, and edited fstab to mount the new home directory [18:33] Kingsy, are you using Gnome? Or Unity? [18:33] ickServ IDENTIFY patriot8 [18:33] joru: workrave was what I was thinking of, but I also found xwrits and rsibreak while looking. [18:34] elocina: Please change your password. [18:34] rakathan: I have read that, and no it doesnt help.. I installed the package. just with apt-get [18:34] rakathan: gnome === Gujs_ is now known as Gujs [18:34] Pici: excellent, i'll check those out [18:34] Pici: and see what their features are [18:34] dans: that should work. are the fstab options for your /home partition the same as your /? [18:34] Pici: are you using one of those atm? [18:34] Anyone, the 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer, and then realizing that what it did was to add a local printer, I deleted it - now the applet does not start [18:35] auronandace: i'll check - system has just gone into slow mode, there must be some process taking up too much cpu or something [18:36] Hi, can I pose a question here? [18:36] joru: I personally dont, I just remember hearing about it and it stuck in my brain for some reason. [18:36] rakathan: any advice? [18:37] dans: also is your /home partition on a different physical drive? [18:37] just in general, how do I find a where apt-get has installed a package? [18:37] I am trying to install a program with the bash command: [18:37] sudo bash setup.sh [18:37] Kingsy, see if "sudo find / -name netspeed" can find it [18:37] anyone with knowledge of ntfscp problems willing to help please say something, using windows mirc and i just deleted my log of this channel by accident [18:37] /dev/sda1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 [18:37] /dev/sda3 /home ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 [18:37] /dev/sda4 /arch ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 [18:37] The installation seems to complete, but I get /home/m/pymol/pymol.exe: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected [18:37] Pici: well i also try but writing up my licentiate thesis gave me some darn hand illness :/ =) [18:37] If I have used ssh -f -N -L to create a tunnel. How can I close it? [18:37] Kingsy: dpkg -L package_name; [18:37] its all on the same physical drive [18:37] Kingsy I'm guessing you've already looked in /bin and /sbin for the binary [18:37] Any help? [18:38] I am trying to play typing game and is telling me that I have a missing plugin what could this be [18:38] rakathan: well it wouldnt be in /bin would it? I thought that was sytem binaries only? [18:38] dans: i see, try using the same options on your /home as your / [18:38] auronadace, can you help out? [18:38] Kingsy, the binary is /usr/lib/netspeed/netspeed_applet2 [18:38] Kingsy sbin is system binaries [18:39] auronandace: which do you think i should use, the 'nodev, nosuid' or the errors=remount [18:39] DebiansArmy, I hear you. But as I see it. Ubuntu should not do anything. I thought running Virtualbox and a guestOS (in my case windows XP) should get access to USB PORT on my computor and connect to the Unit. But it seas that the USB is "emulated" in vortualbox? Am I right? [18:39] i have no idea what these things mean [18:39] Hey guys, is there any way to search (like in the top-left of 11.04) on 10.10? [18:39] Kingsy, the name of the applet should be "Network Monitor" [18:39] dans: hang on... [18:39] glebihan: see how do I know that? what is the general method of finding a binary that has been installed by a package manager? [18:39] what does the following answer of a bash installation mean: /home/m/pymol/pymol.exe: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected ? [18:40] dans: /dev/sda3 /home ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 [18:40] Rogerr: What are you trying to install? [18:40] A program called Pymol [18:40] Hello. Is it really that hard to use an nvidia video card with Ubuntu? What do I have to do to install and activate th drivers? [18:40] Kingsy, well I just downloaded the package and looked into, otherwise once the package is installed, you can find the list of installed files with Synpatic (right-click->properties->installed files) [18:40] the file is setup.sh [18:40] ok, thanks auronandace. brb after a reboot ;) [18:40] dans: i think its the user_xattr option that is the important one [18:41] Rogerr: sudo apt-get install pymol [18:41] dans: hope it works for you [18:41] Jordan, that would give me a free version, but I got the full version, which is different [18:41] vlt, Nvidia drivers usually play pretty nice with Ubuntu...with a clean install you should be able to just download the binary off the Nvidia site and run it [18:41] glebihan: well that didnt work.. the add to panel widget had a red cross sign [18:41] and it is seemingly shell script based installation [18:41] how do you install git? [18:41] just bae on .running sh setup.sh [18:41] glebihan: /usr/lib/netspeed/netspeed_applet2 from the cmd line seemed to do nothing, just a new line and waits [18:41] Space_Man: the pacakge name is git-core [18:42] Kingsy, did you try restarting gnome-panel [18:42] thanks [18:42] ? [18:42] rakathan: Nvidia site? What’s the nvidia-173 stuff for then? [18:42] glebihan: no, but I havent needed to do this in the past [18:42] Kingsy, the binary for an applet in meant to be called directly [18:42] Space_Man: Oh, actually looks like git-core points at 'git' now. Install either, they'll do the same thing. [18:42] Kingsy, it can happen some times that restarting the panel is needed when you install a new applety [18:43] glebihan: so how do you restart the panel? [18:43] vlt, Ubuntu provides an outdated (yet tested) driver originally from Nvidia...that's what you install when you click the "install proprietary drivers" button [18:43] Anyone, I can't set up printing on ubuntu. The 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer, and then realizing that what it did was to add a local printer, I deleted it - now the applet does not start [18:43] Kingsy, Alt+F2, then "killall gnome-panel", it'll restart on its own [18:43] Hi. I have decided to make the switch to single-booting ubuntu after virtualising for a while under windows, at the same time as upgrading my hardware. Ill be installing a 60GB SSD alongside the exsisting 320GB HDD. Should I put /home on the SSD or the HDD? [18:43] Rogerr: Given that you purchased this application you should probably get support from whoever you purchased it from. [18:43] rakathan: That’s what I did. After installing: How to activate it now? [18:43] vlt, if you download drivers directly from the nvidia site instead of from the restricted drivers part of Ubuntu, you get drivers that are more up to date and likely to play nice with Ubuntu [18:44] No I ddnt purchase it, I got it from a friend with dual license. [18:44] and he doesnt know either [18:44] vlt, do an lsmod for me and link the paste here...http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [18:44] glebihan: you were right its there now :) [18:44] how to get around this mysterious ")" unexpected comment [18:44] hello world. Anyone knows a simple to configure IRC-LOGGER on some #channels that does not uses ROOT? [18:44] Kingsy, nice :) [18:44] Rogerr: The license doesn't come with a support contract of some sort? [18:44] vlt, you might as well also include lspci [18:44] !flash [18:44] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:45] Rogerr: sounds like there is something wrong with the install script [18:45] raptor67682, any irc-client with optional logging doesn't need root [18:45] No Jordan. Right Aurona [18:45] Its a simple short setup.sh [18:46] I can paste it somewhere? [18:46] auronandace: we'll give it time, but i think that's done the trick [18:46] serbia? [18:46] !paste | Rogerr [18:46] Rogerr: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [18:46] dont get the message about file manager anymore when i reboot and everythings smooth so far [18:46] rakathan: http://pastebin.com/NWNNnv2A [18:46] #!/bin/sh [18:46] echo ' ' [18:46] echo '============================================' [18:46] echo 'Creating "./pymol" startup script with ' [18:46] echo "PYMOL_PATH=`pwd`" [18:46] Rogerr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:46] echo '============================================' [18:46] thanks :) [18:46] dans: good stuff [18:46] rumpe1> which one would you propose? [18:46] !yay | dans [18:46] dans: Glad you made it! :-) [18:46] rumpe1> from repositories? [18:47] raptor67682, irssi i guess [18:47] rumpe1> irssi does not work when no one is logged onto the server, right? [18:47] rumpe1> can it run and log from crontab or when PC is ON ? [18:47] raptor67682, you have to execute it in it's own shell (no login-subshell) [18:48] sorry [18:48] raptor67682, yes, yes and yes [18:48] Rogerr: It looks to me, though it's never stated explicitly, that the paid version doesn't get you any additional features. Is there something you're missing from the packaged version? [18:48] vlt, what model Nvidia card are you using? It seems to have the AGP driver loaded for some reason [18:48] How do I restart my audio service? [18:48] rumpe1> what do u mean, how? [18:48] raptor67682, start it within "screen" and everything is fine [18:48] It must be very differnt, the paid version is 20 times bigger [18:48] It is the default audio service for Ubuntu [18:48] there are many features , such as vieweing atomic orbitals [18:48] and electrostatic potentials [18:48] rumpe1> the idea sounds good. but how to start it at PC boot? [18:49] rakathan: Doesn’t the lspci part of the paste tell you? [18:49] how do i customize my applications menu? [18:49] Question: let say I have 2 different partition, each with its own O.S., but one of the O.S have full of virus, worm & malware. Is it possible for the virus to go to and infect/affect the other partition? [18:49] vlt I see it now...missed it at first [18:49] Rogerr: It's likely that it just includes a statically linked version of python, which would be quite large. [18:49] the main menu preference app doesn't seem to do it (or it's a nuance) [18:49] raptor67682, put the "screen" command in /etc/rc.local with options/konfiguration to load irssi in a session [18:50] Right, that may be true. Its based on python scripts [18:50] vlt that is a VERY old card [18:50] But I know there is a bunch of paid stuff on it [18:50] rumpe1> I thought that it was into the /etc/rc2.d [18:50] raptor67682, why? [18:50] rhizmoe, closest in unity I think is right clicking the app Icon, and choosing, types. [18:50] how do i change skins in amarok? [18:50] rakathan: Ok, how to use it? [18:51] .wc [18:51] rhizmoe, not really a customization. [18:51] vlt hmm, it should be supported...honestly, it looks like the driver is already in use and you don't need to do anything else [18:51] ther is no option to change the apperence in amarok [18:51] Pici: thx for the tips. [18:51] vlt are you having any specific problems with it? [18:51] Rogerr: What features are available in the paid download that aren't in the packaged version? Have you tried the packaged version? [18:51] rumpe1> I though to use the inittab and a python script to do autologin. ok ok. I am glad to learn your technique. I would be very glad [18:51] HOW DO I RESTART UBUNTU AUDIO SERVICE [18:51] Yes, I wrote it, orbital viewing and ESP maps [18:52] for isntance [18:52] joru: you're welcome. [18:52] rakathan: "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!" [18:52] Im thinking of putting /home and 8GB swap on the HDD, / on the SDD. Or maybe a seperate /tmp on the HDD and move swap to the SSD? [18:52] Haematoma, capitalizing is considered yelling. ;( [18:52] rumpe1> how do you configure it to start on for instance user "IRSSIUSER", what file would you please create into the /etc/rc.local... ? [18:52] Does your script account for pi orbital interaction? [18:52] '95 for chat? [18:52] and cyclical conjugation? [18:53] Haematome, which program you refferring to? [18:53] 3n + 2 rule man [18:53] haha [18:53] HOW DO I CHANGE SKINS IN AMAROK??? [18:53] !caps | pratham Haematoma [18:53] pratham Haematoma: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:53] vlt I'm afraid I don't have any ideas...I trust you've already done the appropriate googling for this [18:53] pratham> I know only audacious :( [18:54] goddammn [18:54] vlt if you haven't seen it already, this might help...http://phun-ky.net/2008/10/fix-for-failed-to-load-the-nvidia-kernel-module-on-ubuntu [18:54] pratham: control your language here, please [18:54] well any solution?? [18:55] urlin2u: hrm. is the idea that things just stay in their subfolders? [18:55] hi [18:55] rumpe1> I googled. Is this this technique : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/running-screen-with-irssi-after-reboot-316175/? [18:55] vlt, you might also have an issue if your xorg.conf that breaks it...have you tried nvidia-xconfig? [18:55] Question: let say I have 2 different partition, each with its own O.S., but one of the O.S have full of virus, worm & malware. Is it possible for the virus to go to and infect/affect the other partition? === ryuujin is now known as Guest30250 [18:55] when i try ssh-add, i get an error that it can't connect to my auth agent. how do i set up ssh-agent? (need this to work for everyone on the machine ideally) [18:55] Ogi0n: Not if the infected partition isn't mounted [18:56] pratham: We are volunteering our time to help people in this channel. Your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. [18:56] rhizmoe, not sure of the idea but I haven't found any way to change it my self, so I use synapse to find apps [18:56] rakathan: Yes, I also ran nvidia-xconfig before. [18:57] sry i dint know that nobody uses amarok >_> [18:57] anyone know if it is possible somehow to rebind CAPSLOCK so that instead of "keeping shift pressed" it keeps another key pressed ? Or is that something that is only possible for shift as there is a flag somewhere to tell if caps or not ? [18:57] evenin all! [18:58] wapiflapi: Caps lock is not equivalent to holding shift. [18:58] corect [18:58] but that is not the point =) [18:58] wapiflapi: Think about shift + 4 meaning '$' whereas caps lock + 4 being just '4'. [18:58] rakathan: thank you, the reason I ask is because instead of creating a Guest account (non-admin) I'm thinking of creating a another partition so if I lend the computer to someone and they do something silly, it wont affect my main O.S., now I'm wondering if there's away to make a Guest non-admin account, reset everytime the computer is rebooted?? [18:59] Ogi0n (+rakathan): A virus can indeed infect another partition even if it's not mounted. [18:59] wapiflapi: I believe in the gnome keyboard preferences there are a number of options of what you want to do with capslock. [18:59] a quick SSH question. If a virtual host is spun up from a template in a virtualized environment, how do I then rebuild the public key and other SSL keys in order to ensure that this machine is indeed unique? [18:59] Ogi0n> Really and how? [18:59] Ogi0n> the PC has to read the concerned Assembler bits [19:00] I upgraded to the alpha of oneiric and now I have no desktop. (Yes, I do know better and impulse got the best of me). My problem now is no desktop. :-/ [19:00] you know like when a guest account finish doing stuff on the computer and viewing webpages and stuff, then when the computer is rebooted its like a new created account with everything fresh, like everything is deleted, temp files, browsing history etc [19:01] tzoscott, oneiric support is in #ubuntu+1 [19:01] glebihan, OK. Thank you. [19:01] Ogi0n: Are you aware of Ubuntu's built in guest account feature? [19:01] vlt, I meant viruses from an unmounted partition can't jump out unless that partition gets mounted...for the nvidia card problem, I don't have any more ideas...I'm a little disappointed since nvidia usually works much better [19:01] Ogi0n: Usually any non-root user should only be able to touch his own home dir. [19:02] glebihan: No such channel. Was that humor? :-) [19:02] Ogi0n: If you completely delete the contents you should get a clean install. [19:02] how do i do that? i created a Guest account and it can access my Admin account home folder, but i got it fix now when i set the permission of Admin to Other: none [19:02] tzoscott, no it wasn't humor === improveupon is now known as wirrr [19:02] !oneiric | tzoscott [19:02] tzoscott: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [19:03] how do I make non-root user which group do i set it to [19:03] my system has become very slow. how can i find the cause (maybe a process is hogging all the cpu)? [19:03] fredrik_: That is not so much the problem... Music industry is not going to allow you to stop them from making money.... It sees the device it sees your pressing buttons, The developers of audio music are not going to allow you to make music for free... If you could just plug in the controller and play music over Linux eventually someone would have made way to record it and put on music... [19:03] ...over streaming sites without pay a single dime and possibly made a profit... Protools costs 800, Sound Forge costs 320 remember to add 40 dallors for every beat package, Cubase starts at 800 50 buck per beat package or guitar strings... There is no way music industry is going to let you rip them off... [19:03] Ogion: chown /home/yourname yourname:nogroup and chmod 700 /home/yourname [19:03] Ogi0n: If you use the built in guest account feature it will not be able to access any other user's files, and its files will be deleted upon logging out. [19:03] Pici: thanks, didnt see that when I looked, there is indeed an option to let caps lock behave as if it was a ctrl =) [19:03] tzoscott, and I'm in that channel right now, so it exists [19:03] Ogi0n: Keep in mind: Anyone w/ physical access to the machine can do _anything_ on it. Including writing to root and even kernel files. [19:04] but it doesnt keep ctrl active once you release capslock :/ but i guess that is not possible [19:04] HELP! [19:04] glebihan: Yep, it worked for me on the second try. No idea why it failed the first (just proofread my command 3x, weird..) [19:04] vlt: that's what im afraid of [19:04] ubuntu 10.10 bluetooth not working [19:04] please someone help [19:05] Jordan_U: how do i do that or where can i access this 'built in guest account feature' [19:05] Ogi0n: Physical access allows anyone to do anything with the computer. There is nothing that you can do (with any OS) to change that. [19:05] Ogi0n: If that is your concern, you can only keep an image and restore afterwards. [19:05] Ogi0n: If you're afraid they'll do something malicious, you better just back up the drive with CloneZilla (or similar imaging program) and shred sensitive data [19:06] Ogi0n: Log in as any user then go to the user switch / logout menu in the top right and select "Guest Session". [19:06] ubuntu 10.10 bluetooth not working...how to fix it? [19:07] How can I use tightvnc to connect to the default display instead of a virtual one?> [19:07] Ogi0n: Even with making an image and restoring it a malicious person could insert keylogging *hardware* to steal your passwords and other sensitive information when you take the computer back. Physical access means all bets are off. [19:07] please help: ubuntu 10.10 bluetooth not working...how to fix it? [19:07] Props to html, it worked [19:08] For those who want to install Java 7 on Natty (both OpenJDK and Sun), here's a very detailed and complete guide: http://brunoreis.com/tech/intalling-java-7-ubuntu-natty/ [19:09] please help: ubuntu 10.10 bluetooth not working...how to fix it?

There's no proprietary drivers being shown in Additional Drivers... [19:10] Jordan_U: oh gosh. [19:10] sktn07, please don't repeat your question too quickly, if nobody knows, nobody will answer. Also try to be more precise about the issues you are encountering [19:11] Who came up with this next Ubuntu Distro name Dreamy Eight... Wow ... are there any fly dragoons around... lol [19:11] sorry [19:11] !ot | DebiansArmy [19:11] DebiansArmy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:11] Josh_U: any particular thing to look for, for that hardware keylogger thingie? [19:11] what would it look like [19:12] bluethooth getting pressed but not bluthooth getting turn on [19:13] glebihan help me... [19:13] Ogi0n: The specifics are not important. What you need to come away with is that giving your computer to a mallicious person without any supervision is a bad idea. Why do you want to give your computer to someone who might be mallicious in the first place? [19:14] sktn07, sorry I don't use bluetooth so I wouldn't know how to help you, but be patient somebody with a solution to your problem might come [19:15] Hey guys does anyone know how to specify which interface or IP for lighthttp to listen on? I know this isn't ubuntu specific but i can't find the answer on google and there is no channel for thsi question.. Yet this is on Ubuntu :) [19:15] Anyone, I can't set up printing on ubuntu. The 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer, and then realizing that what it did was to add a local printer, I deleted it - now the applet does not start [19:15] its my dad, he says he need to use my laptop, but i get the feeling he's snooping around my stuff. [19:16] is it problem of driver?.. bluethooth switch getting pressed but not bluthooth getting turn on [19:17] Ogi0n, set up an account for yourself with password, then browse without history. [19:17] Ogi0n: I seriously doubt that your dad is going to install a hardware keylogger in your computer :) [19:17] sktn07 probaly firmware [19:18] zoidberg-, there is a channel : #lighttpd [19:18] thanks! [19:18] zoidberg-: I think it's server.port in lighttpd.conf [19:18] Ogi0n what is firmware? how to fix it? [19:19] gnome3 install == fail [19:19] oCean: thats for the port, i want ip.. [19:19] sktn07 i think firmware and driver is the same thing im not sure [19:19] Ogi0n: If your dad isn't very tech savvy then just start a guest session and give him the computer (assuming it's not for days / weeks where he might need to reboot at some point). [19:20] sktn07: but that's what i did with my wireless anyway, can turn on the button but when i installed the firmware it works, so that's prolly something similar with your bluetooth, maybe [19:21] intrader: yeah, i make sure to delete history and all that stuff, just in case [19:21] Is there a known problem with random crashes on a hp. [19:21] Jordan_U: ya I'm gonna try that guest session thing, thnx for the tip. [19:21] Ogi0n: If your dad is tech savvy then he'll know he can always boot from a LiveCD and access any unencrypted data on your hard drive, so encrypt any data you don't want him to be able to access (or remove the hard drive before giving it to him if that's feasable). [19:21] So far I didn't found any info about it on my system anywhere. [19:21] And no error messages. [19:21] Just a random lockup. [19:22] And I can't even exit with sysrq magic. [19:22] Jordan_U: lol yea, i use truecrypt and i put all the important personal data, i named it nsfw :) [19:22] And it is really getting on my nerves. [19:22] Ogi0n: And if you're worried about your father setting up keyloggers, hardware or software, then you should probably both see a therapist to deal with bigger issues :) [19:23] Jordan_U: Lol! [19:23] zoidberg-: oh sorry, that's server.bind = "xx.xx.xx.xx" [19:24] sosaited: x11vnc [19:26] from the package p7zip-full, 9.04 beta, options -tgzip -mx=9, created wrong CRC archive in 64-bit OS [19:26] * Spitfire19 Yells into the cave of unknown darkness [19:26] foobar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error (when tested with gzip -vt) [19:27] betta_y_omega: 9.04 beta? That has not been supported since late 2010. [19:27] DOes anyone know of a good guide that will help me create a persistent install of Ubuntu on a USB drive so I can use that instead of partitioning my hard drive? [19:28] DrDamnit: doing what you describe should be as easy as doing the install normally, with the usb-drive plugged in, and then installing to the usb media [19:28] Pici: i think he means 7zip 9.04 beta (not jaunty) [19:29] auronandace: ooooh. [19:29] mrgenixus: I am installing from a USB drive to a USB drive? I'll try that.... [19:29] DrDamnit: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [19:29] anyone know if the look and feel that is talked about here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/717 is in 11.10 alpha3 ? [19:29] does anyone know which package provides the netboot.tar.gz? [19:29] tertitten : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.

I misunderstood the question. [19:31] Pici, thanks [19:31] betta_y_omega: Is there a bug filed for this? [19:32] betta_y_omega: 7zip is at 9.20 now [19:33] auronandace, thanks [19:33] betta_y_omega: but you are right, the one in the natty repo is 9.04 [19:34] !info p7zip | betta_y_omega [19:34] betta_y_omega: p7zip (source: p7zip): 7zr file archiver with high compression ratio.

The 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer, and then realizing that what it did was to add a local printer, I deleted it - now the applet does not start [19:36] nabend [19:37] vllt. hat hier jmd eine idee, was genau mein fehler ist [19:37] !de [19:37] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

I only got /lib/modules/2.6.32-33-generic/kernel/drivers/{char/agp/nvidia-agp,video/nvidia/nvidiafb}.ko [19:39] Kingsy: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [19:39] is there some easy way to hook a shell script to a 'cd-insertion' event? [19:40] if possible without polling via 'mount' [19:40] bl4ckcomb`: Theres likely a udev event for that. [19:40] Pici, ok, I'll look that up. thank you [19:41] xangua: thanks :) [19:42] intrader: thnx for the tip.

[19:47] sudo dpkg -i file [19:47] ah deb file [19:47] dpkg doesn't do the deps though === jrgifford_ is now known as jrgifford [19:49] Hi there! My laptop suddenly does not boot from the hard drive anymore, however once inside ubuntu I can use both the windows and ubuntu partition. I reinstalled grub and it worked fine again, then the next day started having the same problem again. Any guesses? (HD is set as a bootable device) [19:50] I had people tell me I need a new battery for my cmos, do you think that makes any sense? [19:50] cmos holds biosc settings and clock [19:51] nothing to do with grub i guess [19:51] Thought the same thing. [19:51] Coelho_Silva: nope it sounds like it could be a hard drive issue [19:51] maybe grub is not in mbr? [19:51] Is there any file that has the current ip addresses associated with the system in it? [19:51] and something oberwrites mbr? [19:51] 7za a -tgzip -mx=9 foobar.gz foobar ; gzip -vt foobar.gz --> gzip: foobar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error [19:51] I reinstalled grub and worked fine for a day.. then stopped again.. [19:52] Kaco: that sounds right.. [19:52] rm -f foobar.gz ; gzip -9 foobar ; gzip -vt foobar.gz --> foobar.gz: OK [19:52] Coelho_Silva, do you have dualboot? [19:52] Yes.. [19:52] But I have no clue of what could be overwriting the mbr... [19:53] using compiz on Natty with ATI driver: every time I change focus with maximized windows they "wave" as if the wave animation were turned on for the focus event. It's not, and if the window is not maximized, everything is fine. How can I turn this effect off? [19:53] Coelho_Silva, is a a real dual boot, not a wubi which is ubuntu installed from windows? [19:54] Real dual boot.. [19:54] I had it running for a couple of months.. [19:55] Coelho_Silva, you can purge and reinstall grub from the de. [19:55] Back again, I used wine to install, and now have those files located. Where do I move the .inf and .sys files so that ndiswrapper can use them? [19:55] if I turn off the "window decorator", the problem also goes away, but then I lose all the titlebars, which is not good. [19:56] urlin2u: I have reinstalled grub and it worked for a day.. but then started the same problem again.. [19:56] Coelho_Silva, did you purge two packages on the reinstall? [19:57] Hunmm.. not sure what you mean, sorry I am not that tech savy.. [19:58] Coelho_Silva, to reinstall clean you would purge grub-pc and grub-common the reinstall them. [19:58] than [19:58] I am trying to make a Netgear WNA3100 usb-radio dongle work on my lappy, which needs the bcmwlhigh5 set of files === Marty_ is now known as Guest77254 [19:59] Coelho_Silva, if you want the commands I will give them to you. [19:59] urlin2u: ok, thanks! [20:00] Coelho_Silva, you want? [20:00] found it! It's the "Maximize effect" of wobbly windows. Of course, that makes perfect sense... [20:00] urlin2u: yes, let me just give you one more detail, the last time i reinstalled it I think it reinstalled in the linux partition and not on the whole hard drive.. [20:01] So, who owns 'ubuntu' ? [20:01] Coelho_Silva: What version of Ubuntu? When it fails to boot what does happen? Does it always fail to boot after you've been running Windows? [20:01] Can anyone tell me why i can't log into the UEC lucid image, i get connection refused [20:01] KinG`PiN: the project or the trademark or...? [20:01] Jordan_U: 10.4, yes sounds about right... [20:01] All of it [20:02] Anyone, I can't set up printing on ubuntu. The 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer, and then realizing that what it did was to add a local printer, I deleted it - now the applet does not start [20:02] Jordan_U: I used ubuntu a couple of times then when I went to windows the very next time I had the same problem.. [20:02] anyone [20:03] KinG`PiN: The "Ubuntu" trademark is owned by Canonical. Software in Ubuntu is subject to the ownership and licensing of the individual upstream authors. [20:03] Someone has to be the Main Character.

The 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer, and then realizing that what it did was to add a local printer, I deleted it - CORRECTION the applet takes a long time to start.

Adobe at least is even aware that this is causing many of their customers to have an unbootable system. [20:05] is there a way to switch to a workspace but not using the arrows? it's to many clicks. i would like to use window+number or somthing similar [20:06] Jordan_U, supposed to be fixed now but we never really know. [20:06] hello [20:06] i need help [20:06] Jordan_U: I actually noticed this right after I installed Autocad 2010 [20:06] Jordan_U: I also had photoshop there for a little while...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:08] ok [20:08] tommoroow i get my new pc °!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [20:09] it has got a ssd amd phenom 955 etc [20:09] Coelho_Silva: urlin2u: Grub 1.99 has features (avoiding overwritten sections and some very clever error correction) to protect itself from this. If you upgrade to the grub 1.99 packages from Ubuntu 11.04 it should work around the problem. I would personally also contact Adobe and Autodesk and ask them to stop writing to the boot track. [20:09] which linux should i isntall [20:09] fsefdsfd: ubuntu¿ [20:09] yes which [20:09] a [20:09] a [20:09] 10.04 10.10 11.04 or 11.10 [20:09] latest¿ [20:10] fsefdsfd: definitely NOT 11.10 - that is in alpha state [20:11] I've got a 11.04 headless box that is crash/rebooting every time I run a java app. I'm looking at /var/log/messages(.1) but not seeing any logs from todays date.

[20:17] type [20:17] prashant_: urlin2u easier just: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [20:17] instead of turning around [20:17] I had a chat with Rump1 yesterday about not being able to create a desktop for a newly defined user [20:17] xangua, its working [20:17] I now managed to recreate the problem using a vanilla install of ubuntu 11.04 in a virtual machine [20:17] xangua, sure but the flash aid removes that installer, which is part of the problems probably and you get the latest adobe, the beta if you like. [20:18] is someone here tonight whom i could discuss this a bit further [20:18] urlin2u: what problem exactly did he say he has¿ [20:18] Hey guys - this is super annoying - someone please help me. Ubuntu 11.04 (Alt + Tab) switcher ... after I switch from one tab to another there is a delay before the mouse will begin moving again ... (its not a switching delay - i've already seen several google threads about this) and how to use compiz to reduce the delay... this is an actual delay AFTER the switch is done the mouse just hangs there for a second. [20:19] Can shotwell also backup movies? [20:19] Dan18, what is your goal [20:19] Like with photos? [20:19] xangua, why are we even talking here? [20:19] I want to organise my movies as well? [20:19] 10.04 10.10 11.04 or 11.10 [20:19] !best | fsefdsfd [20:19] fsefdsfd: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:19] fsefdsfd: go to ubuntu.com and download latest ubuntu [20:20] basically, to create a new user account, and then have the new user log in and get a new desktop environment created by gnome [20:20] unfortunately, i ran into permission problems, most likely because i had moved my home directory to a new partition [20:20] searching for apt-get install pkgs would be apt-cache search? im looking for dhcpd3 [20:20] 10.04 10.10 11.04 or 11.10 [20:20] at least when recreating the steps i did to move the partition, the "creating new user with desktop" problem appeared [20:21] fsefdsfd: stop it please. you have received an answer. re-asking will not change that [20:21] fsefdsfd, keep doing that and you will get banned. [20:21] i had discussed this with Rump1 yesterday, and we didnt manage to resolve it [20:21] how to install java runtime environment in ubuntu 11.04 ? [20:21] but now i at least managed to recreate the problem within a virtualbox virtual machine [20:21] Would Ubuntu run good on my machine? AMD II X2 3.1GHZ 4GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, 1GB GEFORCE SDDR3 [20:21] Dan18, what kind of partition is /home on, what are the permission on /home, and what are the mount options [20:22] KinG`PiN, try the livecd thats what it is for [20:22] we looked at those, will let you know [20:22] KinG`PiN: With that hardware that question seems redundent... [20:22] java runtime environment [20:23] Dan18, if you've spent time trying to debug this what did you discover [20:23] home is on a separate 850 GB partition [20:23] in /etc/hosts is it multiple have multiple IP addresses associated with one hosts entry [20:23] So, it'll run like water, RodneyJarvis? [20:23] I've done a google search and their doesn't seem to be any clear examples [20:23] ghanima, aside from 127.0.0.1 (which some apps don't like) its usually ok [20:24] <[THC]AcidRain> ghanima, it is normal [20:24] are there any open source, rts, games for linux? [20:24] home has drwx------ permissions [20:24] Do you guys have an example of what that would look like [20:24] would it be an entry on each line [20:24] I like shotwell, but I want it to work on movies as well. [20:24] would the IPaddresses be one world or seperated by some field [20:24] with dani:dani as user and group [20:25] dani dani [20:25] (how do i check the mount options again) [20:25] <[THC]AcidRain> ghanima, https://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.questions/browse_thread/thread/323528cfbc899190/45667f0a1ae31120%2345667f0a1ae31120?sa=X&oi=groupsr&start=0&num=2&hl=en&pli=1 [20:26] escott, we looked at all the permissions, the mount parameters [20:27] I am trying to install matlab. I am prompted to select a MATLAB root folder. By default "/media/MATHWORKS_R2010A" is selected. When I click "OK" I am told that filepath is not writable.... Can someone help me? [20:27] and beyond the certainty that its a permission problem we didnt know what the source might be [20:27] however, now i managed to at least recreate the problem by following specific steps [20:27] anyone know if some tiny-ubuntu will run on a old nokia 770 tablet? [20:27] so my working assumption is that something must have gone wrong with the manner i moved home to a new partition [20:27] hellothere007, a bunch check happypenguin.org. some major ones are glest and ta spring [20:27] <[THC]AcidRain> ghanima, also here: http://serverfault.com/questions/69836/point-multiple-ip-addresses-to-a-single-host-name [20:28] escott: thanks === ajf is now known as ajf|offline [20:28] battlehands, sudo mkdir /opt/matlab and install there [20:29] tripelb, couple of small OS's I would try puppy linux [20:29] escott, will that allow me to install it from the CD? [20:29] battlehands, /media/MATHWORKS is the cd [20:30] escott, which is why I cant write to it. So it was trying to install the files to the CD? [20:30] battlehands, evidently. /opt is where stuff like this should go [20:30] urlin2u, do you know how I could find anyone with any experience at this? A girl-semitechie-friend has one and wants to run skype. [20:30] battlehands: you need to run the setup as "sudo setup" [20:31] "sudo ./setup" or whatever [20:31] escott, so I opened terminal and created that directory. Where will that filepath be if I were clicking to get to it? [20:31] that will give the installer the proper permissions to create the directory [20:31] battlehands, it would be /opt/matlab [20:31] tripelb, I doubt skype will run. [20:31] battlehands: run the MATLAB installer with sudo, and it'll automatically create all the directories, etc. [20:31] urlin2u, awwww [20:31] urlin2u, thanks === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [20:32] babaei, hello again. How do I run the installer with sudo? [20:32] tripelb, just my opinion though. === Guest60965 is now known as mrhobgoblin [20:32] battlehands: in the console, "cd /media/MATHWORKS" [20:32] battlehands: just prepend sudo to the command you gave to install it before [20:32] I believe the program is "setup", so you then type "sudo ./setup" [20:32] and type in your password [20:33] Dan18, im not seeing all your messages highlighted. please include my name in your response. what are the permission on /home itself ls -ld /home/ [20:33] battlehands: also, hello again. :D [20:33] Dan18, and use `mount` to see the mount optinos [20:33] babaei, console = terminal? [20:33] right === jonathan_ is now known as Guest86081 [20:33] in a terminal window, sorry. [20:33] guntbert, what command would that be? [20:33] Since I built an 11.04 machine, I have noticed that hostname.local name resolution doesn't seem to work anymore. Did something happen to avahi? [20:34] escott. home has drwx------ permissions [20:34] battlehands: just like babaei said ^^^^ [20:34] Dan18, thats a problem. it should be 755 [20:34] ok, good, let me try that [20:34] escott, ok, good, let me try that [20:34] babaei, it says "No such file or directory: [20:35] battlehands: type "cd" and tell me what shows up in green [20:35] er [20:35] damnit [20:35] don't do that. [20:35] battlehands: in the console, "cd /media/MATHWORKS" [20:35] nothing shows up [20:35] battlehands: and type ls [20:35] "ls" [20:35] k [20:35] babaei: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:35] FloodBot1, calm down [20:36] "ls" will list the files in the directory. we're looking for the installer program. you should see some directories and some files. [20:36] babaei, it says no such file or directory [20:36] babaei, when I type LS, it shows all my default folders, ect... [20:36] babaei, battlehands its /media/MATHWORKS... there was some other junk at the end i omitted in a response [20:37] battlehands: ok, type "cd /media/MATH", press the key (it should complete the sentence) and then hit enter. [20:38] babaei, /media/MATHWORKS_R2010A$ === Guest84884 is now known as Mud [20:38] battlehands: type "ls" and tell me what shows up in green. [20:38] babaei, green is: install_unix.sh and setup.exe [20:38] battlehands: try "sudo ./install_unix.sh" [20:39] and type in your password [20:39] babaei, so I stay in the mathworks directory when I execute that command? Or does it matter? [20:40] battlehands: you definately must stay in the directory. otherwise, Linux won't know where install_unix.sh is. (the "./" means "in this directory") [20:40] babaei, ok. thanks [20:41] I am having some issues with idmap and winbind does anyone here feel like helping me out. [20:41] babaei, it says"./unix/install: 1156: /lib/libc.so.6: not found [20:41] " and a GUI for the matlab installer popped up [20:41] battlehands: run through the installer [20:41] battlehands: I know, for me, it installed it into /usr/local/MATLAB [20:42] but you can use whatever it comes up with. [20:42] battlehands: that file is in libc6 [20:43] babaei, I selected /usr/local/MATLAB as the location. I am prompted, would you like to create "/usr/local/MATLAB" and then upon saying yes I am told I dont have permission [20:43] p7zip-full_9.20.1~dfsg.1-3_amd64.deb is also buggy, same failure. [20:44] battlehands: strange. you ran the installer with "sudo" and typed in your password? [20:44] babaei, ohh.. maybe not [20:44] OMG [20:44] babaei, so... sudo ./install_unix.sh ??? [20:44] right [20:44] OHH === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [20:44] i understand [20:44] 1momment [20:44] sudo means "run as a superuser, so I can access stuff I normally can't" [20:45] ok [20:45] hey, is there some nice list of packages from which ubuntu (standard distrubuntion) is made of? preferably with some comments, this one do that, that one does something else [20:45] babaei, why isnt everying ran as sude? [20:45] sudo* [20:45] battlehands: well, that's a good question [20:45] battlehands: your typical WindowsXP system, for example, is run just like that (so you can change all the directories, install software all the time, etc.) [20:46] babaei, that sounds simplier [20:46] babaei, also, simpler [20:46] battlehands: the problem with that is that it makes it really easy to mess up your computer (eg delete the wrong directory by accident). As well, you don't want all programs to have that access, least they access confidential information, trash your system, start reading your passwords and sending them out, etc. [20:47] battlehands: but this concept is much less error prone - so much less dangerous to the system [20:47] babaei, so its for security reasons [20:47] guntbert, ok. I dont understand much about that stuff, but it sounds good [20:47] battlehands: and becaure we all make mistakes - it also prevetu us from dooing something stupid unintentionaly ;) [20:47] battlehands: yeah. the sudo solution (or, that box that pops up sometimes asking for a password) is a simular solution that Windows Vista/7 uses, which lets you get that access easily, but makes you deliberately ask for it [20:48] 7za t foobar.gz --> Testing foobar Everything is Ok. <--- what weird!!! (the CRC calculation that's the same for creating and testing is wrong) [20:48] battlehands: it *is* better, and now I'll leave you to babaei for your support problem :) [20:48] babaei, ok. cool [20:48] !search [20:48] Search factoids for term: !search [20:48] guntbert, haha. yeah. I will probably be back asking about that stuff in the future [20:48] What's the supported desktop search mechanism in Ubuntu? Tracker, Beagle, what? [20:48] guntbert, im new to ubuntu and trying to figure it all out [20:48] battlehands: it's a lot less of a pain in the ass than stuff in the past, and seems to be a pretty good compromise between security and usability. [20:49] battlehands: take your time - everybody can learn :) [20:49] battlehands: does the MATLAB installer seem to be working OK?> [20:49] hellllllllooooo alllllll [20:49] :D [20:49] babaei, working!!!!! [20:49] ! hi | ubuntu [20:50] !hi | ubuntu [20:50] how can i send private message to to the person? [20:50] lfaraone, !hi was removed quite a while ago [20:50] battlehands: good. sudo is a useful command for running installers for programs, although thankfully you can get most of what you need through the software centre/synaptic [20:50] !pm > ubuntu [20:50] ubuntu, please see my private message [20:50] zykotick9: oh, that's depressing. [20:50] babaei, Im glad this worked. I have to design 7 audio filters by Friday :) [20:51] babaei, is there a matlab channel where I could do for people what yall do here? [20:51] ok i read it [20:51] battlehands: ##matlab [20:51] but i forgget that it is /mgs personNickNmae or .... [20:51] battlehands: good question. I know Mathworks has online forums, but I don't know if they have IRC. or what lfaraone said. [20:52] lfaraone, thanks [20:52] ubuntu: yes. '/msg USER MESSAGE" [20:52] battlehands: any reason you're not running 11.04? also, I think your computer can support the 64-bit version. [20:52] babaei, thanks again for your help. that was very easy and I learned something [20:52] battlehands: good. hands-on work is always the best way to learn. [20:52] babaei, I thought I was running 11.04 [20:52] battlehands: ok, cool. never mind, then. [20:53] ubuntu: or /msg memoserv send [20:53] i thought your soundcard thing said you were running 10.04 or something. [20:53] babaei, although I preferred the navigation of SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATION, PLACES, and APPLICATIONS on the older version [20:53] optlmus:can U describe for me? i mixed up [20:53] babaei, Im still trying to figure this new layout out [20:54] !classic | battlehands [20:54] battlehands: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [20:54] battlehands: I found the new one rewarding. once I figured it out, there is no going back. [20:54] can anyone confirm this failure in 64-bit OS? 7za a -tgzip -mx=9 foobar.gz foobar ; gzip -vt foobar.gz --> gzip: foobar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error [20:54] ubuntu: you wish to send a private message to someone? [20:54] battlehands: part of the key is that you can just press the window key and type the program you want (this is, once again, the approach in Windows 7, and seems to work well once you get used to it) [20:54] Just testing. [20:55] babaei, Ill work at it [20:55] yes [20:55] battlehands: so, to load MATLAB, all you need to do is "mat" [20:55] without needing to use the mouse [20:55] All: I am having problems with a new install (11.04) on a Toshiba Satellite. None of the network interfaces show up (ethernet or wifi). Where could I look for some info on dealing with that? [20:56] optlmus:yes [20:56] "ifconfig" shows nothing; and doing a "sudo lshw" will not show any network interface entries [20:56] ubuntu: ok, If I was sending you hello in a private message I would type this; "/msg memoserv send ubuntu hello" [20:57] ubuntu: without the quotations. [20:58] In order to check to make sure my interfaces exist, I looked at "lspci" there is an entry for ethernet. It shows a device ID number. I am not sure what the next steps would be to have the Eth0 port work? [20:58] Any help would be appreciated [20:58] ubuntu: but this is offtopic, you should go to #freenode or whatever. [20:58] im using irssi 8D [20:59] is this right? "/msg memberChannel privateMessga" [20:59] altice: is this a fresh install on the laptop? [20:59] yep, fresh [20:59] and the network interfaces never worked? [20:59] ubuntu: not even close, that would appear on the channel [21:00] not on ubuntu [21:00] worked previously on windows [21:00] altice: did you select anything weird during the install process? did it find the network card during that? [21:00] I selected a normal install, and no it never found the network interface [21:01] ubuntu: go to #freenode [21:01] #freenode [21:01] can anyone confirm this failure in 64-bit OS? 7za a -tgzip -mx=9 foobar.gz foobar ; 7za t foobar.gz ; gzip -vt foobar.gz --> Testing foobar Everything is Ok ; gzip: foobar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error (same failure in 9.04 and 9.20.1) [21:01] babaei: I selected a normal install, and no it never found the network interface [21:02] ubuntu: /join #freenode [21:02] altice: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [21:02] altice: are any interfaces defined? [21:03] altice, broadcom? [21:03] babaei: there are no entries in there [21:03] urlin2u: how do I determine if it was broadcom?

[21:04] altice, lspci in terminal will list stuff. [21:04] babaei: A85-S1072 [21:04] urlin2u: lspci only provide some kind of device code, no words. There a way to figure out the name from the device ID? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [21:05] urlin2u: device id.. um off the top of my head blkid or something [21:05] altice, your looking for something like this, Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [21:05] altice: double-check in the BIOS to make sure the network interfaces are turned on. [21:06] altice: this might provide easier information: sudo lshw | less === Robin is now known as Guest33884 [21:06] urlin2u: right, I'm with you there, I see an entry for Ethernet controller; however, it shows a device ID and not a name: Device 0612:8290 === prc33 is now known as Guest49564 [21:07] babaei: I will check that in awhile, would like to see if there are things I can do while the PC is booted currently [21:07] Pici: there are no network entries in lshw [21:07] hello [21:07] Hello. The nvidia-glx-173 package contains only /usr/share/doc files. What pkg do I need to get rif of "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!"? [21:07] altice: i understand. a search showed that network interfaces disabled in the BIOS can be a problem with that model. otherwise, it should be supported (both ethernet and wifi) [21:08] altice, that is a usb device id. google for it [21:09] escott: how do I search for that, google returned zero results with what I put in [21:09] babaei: thanks, I will try that in a second then [21:10] altice, try lspci -v [21:10] 10.04 10.10 11.04 or 11.10 [21:10] urlin2u: no name still, just a device ID [21:10] for my new pc [21:10] amd phenom 955 hd4250 ssd [21:10] what's the best way to install firefox 6 in ubuntu?

[21:11] fsefdsfd: I wouldn't use 11.10, as it's not stable. [21:11] altice, 0612 is not any usb manufacturer i can find. so maybe its something else, but it is usb format. can you !paste the output of whatever command gave you that [21:11] can anyone confirm this failure in 64-bit OS? 7za a -tgzip -mx=9 foobar.gz foobar ; 7za t foobar.gz ; gzip -vt foobar.gz --> Testing foobar Everything is Ok ; gzip: foobar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error (same failure in 9.04 and 9.20.1) [21:11] what is the latest [21:11] ?

[21:13] yes [21:13] no names [21:13] TheFuzzball: sure ?? if it was true 9.04 must be released septe,ber 2004 [21:13] no other descriptions [21:13] altice, lspci -v [21:13] fsefdsfd: stop that please [21:14] fsefdsfd No, it would have been released on nn/04/2009. [21:14] ok [21:14] (Which it was.) [21:14] and what date [21:15] urlin2u: I am updating right now, see if it works [21:15] escott: I appreciate your help, but that is a lot to type. Keep in mind I'm having network problems and I cannot paste the output of that cmd, I would have to retype it all [21:15] I'm going to try a BIOS update and see what happens [21:16] altice, the control and status stuff arent as important [21:16] Fiddich, cool after updating if still a problem,look in menu for additional drivers to see if any show [21:16] altice, just need something to identify it by [21:16] WELL BACK TO TOPIC [21:16] i have ssd [21:16] i need 2.6.33 [21:16] fsefdsfd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:16] Anyone, I can't set up printing on ubuntu. The 'Application->System->Printing' applet is confusing me - by mistake I have added a local printer, and then realizing that what it did was to add a local printer, I deleted it - CORRECTION the applet takes a long time to start; When I use Server->Connect, it works; and test print works. However no other print commands work.. [21:16] escott, worked, perfectly!! [21:16] escott: that's what I'm telling you, the only identification it provide is that device ID number, there's nothing else there [21:17] shpuld i use 11.04 [21:17] escott: idk what else you'd be looking for, there are no names [21:17] altice, what manufacturer is this machine from [21:17] Satellite [21:17] escott, i guess i can delete all those added folders in etc/skel [21:17] escotte: Satellite A85:1072 [21:17] escott, initially, it only included the Example folder [21:18] Dan18, it also has all the .bashrc and .profile stuff [21:18] right, forgot these [21:18] intrader, when you hit print there is a dropdown in the gui for where it is pointed. [21:18] shpuld i use 11.04 [21:18] but i tried to add Desktop, Download, etc ... [21:18] hello, could you make me remember a command that is used to format a line [21:18] I'm getting a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error when connecting to contacts.msn.com:80 (Live Messenger) on Empathy 2.34.0 (Ubuntu 11.04). There's anyone with the same problem or it's just me? [21:19] fsefdsfd: if you need 2.6.33 or higher, yes [21:19] altice, and this is a pcmcia card? [21:19] escott: this is onboard ethernet [21:19] KrimsomBOX, make you, okay remember it.;) [21:19] register Ch2mHill [21:19] rww : can i not install 2.6.35 10.04 ?? i heard, install linux-lts-image-maverick or so [21:19] musz install it [21:19] hahaha urlin2u [21:20] fsefdsfd: 10.04 comes with 2.6.32 by default. I recommend using the kernel that the Ubuntu version was designed for. [21:20] KrimsomBOX, or we will take away the crimson king. [21:20] rww yes but a newer kernel is in the ubuntu own repositories [21:20] rww do you think it isnt good [21:20] the king crimson! [21:21] court of KrimsomBOX [21:21] altice, thats really weird. i wonder how it even knows that its an ethernet controller [21:21] fsefdsfd: As I said, I recommend using the kernel it was designed for. Unless you have a particular reason to use 10.04 instead of 11.04, I don't see why you'd use 10.04. [21:21] hahahahaha [21:21] ijjjj [21:21] ok [21:21] rww hate compiz [21:21] fsefdsfd: both 10.04 and 11.04 use compiz by default. [21:21] urlin2u, where? for example 'text edit' shows me Print to File - not the CUPS server printer on the mac [21:22] rww in 10.04 i can deactivaee in 11.04 not [21:22] sorry, I need a comman to make something like "/home/music hello" to "/home/music\ hello" [21:22] do you remember what command it was ? [21:22] fsefdsfd: This is incorrect. Select "Ubuntu Classic" from the login screen and then deactivate Compiz as normal. [21:22] is there any fix for the bug where usb-creator starts to require root privileges to write usb sticks? [21:22] ok and my other problem is [21:23] 11.04 has 2 vertical 2 horizontal desktops [21:23] intrader, what are you trying to print, open libre, and type a few thing and hit the not quick print and a gui should show. [21:23] need 4 horizontal [21:23] as in 10.04 [21:23] 4 [21:23] 4 [21:23] THE [21:23] GAME [21:23] fsefdsfd: I don't use workspaces, so I can't help with that. Try asking your question all on one line and see if somebody else knows. [21:23] escott: I know, I have no idea how it can figure that out and not the rest. sad things are happening here [21:24] rww what do you mean ?? do you onyly use 1 ??? [21:24] fsefdsfd: correct. My workflow doesn't require workspaces. [21:24] altice, can you boot windows and try to identify it that way? [21:24] rww i hate workspaces too [21:24] escott: too late, wiped the HDD [21:24] intrader, the file-printersetting in libre should show it. [21:24] good idea [21:25] urlin2u, do you remember what command is it ? format text like "/home/this have blanks" to "/home/this\ have\ blanks" ? [21:25] I run an amd64 ubuntu, and want to install an i386 ubuntu on the same machine. Is debootstrap worth the hassle, or should I just burn a CD? [21:25] fsefdsfd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1723321 [21:25] KrimsomBOX, not sure really. ;) [21:25] matthiasgorgens, burn the cd [21:25] escoot, OK. [21:25] :-( [21:26] urlin2u, what is libre - I am trying open office and the print menus hangs. [21:26] intrader, open office the same in the file tab is printer settings [21:26] Is there a primer for new linux ubuntu users to teach them the basics of this system other than the manual? Things like where files downloaded are stored and the shell command system for youngsters? [21:26] KrimsomBOX, tr or sed [21:26] !manual | n4dsp [21:26] n4dsp: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [21:27] urlin2u, Print is still hanging [21:27] the game again. [21:27] but that is for 10.04 and not 11.04 [21:27] thanks, solved, the bug is due to older version of gzip (1.3.12), so that gzip (1.4) solved this issue of data crc error. [21:27] escott, I think that those commands will make it difficult for me [21:28] intrader, I know with mine I have a old HP Black and white printer the driver is not exctly the one ubuntu suggests, mine has a plus at end the driver I use has all other identification - the plus. [21:28] I remember that there was a command, that does exactly what I want [21:28] urlin2u, I kill it, Printer Settings also hangs [21:29] intrader, that is about all I know that I have posted. ;( [21:29] sup bitches [21:29] !guidelines > LolTheGame [21:29] LolTheGame, please see my private message [21:30] nou [21:30] nou [21:30] KrimsomBOX, if you are having to deal with actual file names it may be easier to work with xargs than deal with escaping [21:30] urlin2u, I kill that also, trying Text Edit - it gives me only Print to File option [21:30] Hi, on ubuntu 11.04, there is this "Create new wireless network" option in the networks menu. Only thing... can't seem to get it working with the most obvious settings (it being setting up this machine as a wifi access point) any help/docs on this? [21:31] intrader, that is about all I know that I have posted. ;( [21:31] urlin2u: which menu is it to see for additional drivers? [21:31] urlin2u, np [21:31] I still have the problems [21:31] Good bacon to all [21:31] is there a manual? [21:32] Fiddich, type it in the dash click the applications button in unity [21:32] escott, mmmm I think that there is no way to use xargs with this: rsync -urltv --delete -e ssh user@192.168.1.107:"~Downloads/$i" "$i" [21:32] where $i will contain filenames with blanks [21:32] I cannot get the AMD Radeon Catalyst 11.8 drivers to install. Says there are dependency problems installing the debs. Is there anything I can do to resolve this? [21:33] urlin2u: which application? have you seen the screenshot? [21:33] I know that everyone will probably hate this, but [21:33] Fiddich, no [21:33] Anyone, I can't set up printing on ubuntu. The 'Application->System->Printing' applet takes a long time to start; When I use Server->Connect, it works; and test print works. However no other print commands work; they offer only "Print to File" [21:33] I am trying to set an environment variable in windows. would anybody know the appropriate chat room? [21:33] millertimek1a2m3: ##windows [21:33] urlin2u: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2198251/Parallels%20Picture%201.png [21:33] KrimsomBOX: The "quote" function may be usefull to you, but what is your end goal? === raven is now known as Guest6041 [21:34] millertimek1a2m3: though the answer (at least on Windows 7) is: press Win+Pause/Break, click "Advanced System Settings", click Environment Variables [21:34] is escott and ubootu robots? [21:34] KrimsomBOX, (a) are you intentionally being selective with the Downloads folder? (b) sure there is.. ls | xargs -I '{}' echo {} {} [21:34] Fiddich, hardd to say I would guess drivers but may be wrong, probably so. Did you finf=d additional drivers? [21:34] n4dsp: ubottu is a bot. escott is a human. [21:34] hello [21:35] cyborg [21:35] :)) Cool! [21:35] thanks escott [21:35] Anyone, printing on ubuntu? I used to in 9.04 - once I went to 10.10, I had not printed; I don't know how to set it up [21:35] thanks rww [21:35] rww, score! i just passed the turing test [21:35] escott: hehe :) [21:35] you are now being both upgraded one notch! [21:35] urlin2u: I have no clue about the drivers, funny thing is that when I choose Ubuntu classic on the login screen everything looks ok [21:35] if the package exists in oneiric, but not in lucid, should i package the program from scratch (if i want to make the ppa for it, so others can use it) or should i somehow use the oneiric (new) package? [21:35] Congrats [21:36] anyway to speed up booting 10.4? after i type in my pword it takes like 5 minutes to come up then anythinf i click on takes forever to come up [21:37] Fiddich, if you want help you kinda have to listen, not even trying is counterproductive, and wastes both of our times. ;-) [21:37] I have some pics on my desktop and is there a way I can find out quickly where they are located in 'places'? [21:37] co sie dzieje sie? [21:37] archman: You can try building the oneiric source package on a lucid system. [21:37] Jordan_U, escott, I'm trying to "update" with rsyinc command, just folders that I already have [21:37] Jordan_U: ok [21:38] Jordan_U: http://packages.ubuntu.com/km/source/oneiric/ranger second link from this site? [21:38] urlin2u: ok, I found this driver menu in the system settings and all it says is that some parallels tool gate driver is active and currently in use [21:38] for i in *; do; rsync -urltv --delete -e ssh user@192.168.1.107:"~Downloads/$i" "$i"; done [21:39] KrimsomBOX, so why not rsync user@host:~/Downloads/* ~/Downloads/ [21:39] Fiddich, cool now that would be helpful for anybody helping to know ;) beyond that I'm not real exsperienced in this area. [21:39] Guest7785: there's sysv-rc-conf to disable whichever thing you want although for speed i'd recommend installing lubuntu-desktop [21:39] hahaha escott, let me try, but that sounds good :D [21:39] !packaging | archman [21:39] archman: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [21:40] i want to create an OS like ubuntu [21:40] Jordan_U: already looking at it [21:40] KrimsomBOX: some complicated...rsync is easiest you don't need for o smoething esle [21:40] else* [21:40] which programming language should i use? [21:41] Oh, now i remembered, because in Downloads folder from remote machine, I have others folders [21:41] directories* [21:41] KrimsomBOX: and don't need to specificy -e ssh it's default [21:41] that I just don't want here [21:41] Transmission has created files with it's own username and group. When I try to change owners or permissions I get a "read-only file system" error. How do I go about claiming these files? [21:41] zayed: whichever language you're proficient in? higher languages are less complex but are sluggish as a result afaik [21:41] sweat, thanks [21:41] zayed: One person does not create an OS like Ubuntu, and as this isn't an Ubuntu support question #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to discuss it. [21:41] KrimsomBOX: exclude that [21:41] KrimsomBOX, the problem is your use of the --delete argument. sounds like you want something else. and you can use the --excludes to exclude the folders you dont want [21:41] --exclude [21:42] hmmm [21:42] KrimsomBOX, just --dry-run stuff until it looks right [21:42] is there a decent web gui for rtorrent? [21:42] zayed: Ubuntu's written in a variety of languages. Its kernel is C, there a lot of C++ and python in userland [21:42] urlin2u: for me it looks like this is some gfx issue because it works fine with other themes except the new one [21:42] rww: linux is not part of ubuntu ;) [21:43] archman: Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel. [21:43] let me rephrase this,,,, [21:43] rww: yes [21:43] Hathadar, whatever folder they are in is a read-only disk (maybe an external disk?) [21:43] Fiddich, missing panels though hard to say for me. [21:44] escott, the files were created only yesterday so I know the disk is not mounted as read only. Also the fstab entry is mounted as defaults, which I believe include rw. [21:44] Hi there, I have a quick question. I am running 10.10 and I am trying to decide if I should go to 11.4. I have tried a fresh install of 11.4 but could not make the wifi drivers work for the life of me. This time I am thinking of doing an upgrade. Do you think the drivers would work with an upgrade to 11.4 since they work on my 10.10 right now? [21:44] if a pic is on my desktop,, is it also in another file ? If I delete that pic on my desktop ,,is it saved somewhere else also or is it deleted permanelty? [21:44] info MacGruber [21:44] Fiddich, my guess is a nvidia card and a driver needed, but I never have had these cards so not really familiar it if that is whats up. [21:45] Hathadar, something may have changed check the output of `mount` [21:45] with it* [21:45] n4dsp: i think it is deleted permanently, it is not like a shortcut.. [21:45] urlin2u: hmm I'll use the classic theme then [21:45] thanks [21:45] Coelho_Silva: see if the linux kernel used for 11.04 includes the modules for your card (most probably yes) and if yes, it should work [21:45] n4dsp: In this case it is the file itself that you would be deleting... [21:45] urlin2u: thanks for the help [21:45] Hathadar: Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "dmesg"? [21:46] Fiddich, no problem probably fixable, I just don't know how. [21:46] archman: Could you point me in the right direction maybe with a link? [21:46] is there any fix for the bug where usb-creator starts to require root privileges to write usb sticks? [21:46] archman: and thanks1 [21:47] Coelho_Silva: lspci | grep Network ; then see which module you're using for that interface with lsmod, and then search the kernel's config and see if it's included (www.kernel.org) [21:48] Jordan_U, dmesg's output is too large to capture in my console. is there a way to pipe the output directly into my clipboard? [21:48] archman: thanks! [21:48] np :) [21:48] delac, you have to enter a password to run the install to the stick. [21:49] hi [21:49] delac: Root privileges are always going to be required to write to the mbr of a disk (which is what usb-creator needs to do for BIOS based systems). [21:49] Hathadar: you could do "command > textfile" and use that file :) [21:50] Anyone, printing on ubuntu? I used to in 9.04 - once I went to 10.10, I had not printed; I don't know how to set it up [21:50] Just upgraded to Kubuntu 11.04 (from 9.04). Everything is working well, except for a couple small (low impact) glitches. The system will suspend/resume just fine (YAY!) if I do Fn-'Stand by key' (this is a laptop). But it will not sleep if I close the lid. In the power manager, I have "Sleep" set as the action for closing the lid, but to no effect. Ideas? [21:50] Hathadar: google says xclip is used for that stuff.. [21:50] urlin2u, Jordan_U: well, it didn't use to require it. what has changed? [21:50] so if i were to move to the 'home' folder which i did,,,where are they in the 'home' folder? [21:51] Coelho_Silva: Ask if you get stuck with something, maybe i could help if i'll know :) [21:51] delac: I think you are either mis-remembering or remembering useing usb-creator from a LiveCD / LiveUSB session where no password entry is required to gain root privileges. [21:51] says in my personal folder 'john' [21:52] and there they are [21:52] urlin2u: found a thread on the parallels forums which says that it has to do with 3d acceleration and thats the reason why the classic theme works and "unity" doesn't === Logan_ is now known as Guest93026 === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [21:53] Fiddich, okay, I would only believe that if it was confirmed for your exact computer model and hardware isit? [21:53] so whenever i transfer anything to 'home' it will go into my personal folder [21:54] Fiddich, you have a mac right, or a apple? [21:54] urlin2u: everybody with a mac and osx 10.7 seems to have these issues [21:55] urlin2u: Fiddich: When running in a virtual machine the OS is presented with Virtual hardware. Ubuntu is seeing whatever parallels presents as its virtual graphics card and the fact that the host uses an Nvidia card is irrelevent. [21:55] Hathadar, dmesg | xclipboard [21:55] hi guys, i'm having a problem when trying to install casper [21:55] trying to overwrite '/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compcache', which is also in package live-initramfs 0:1.236.2-1 [21:55] Fiddich, is this virtual I didn't know that if so. [21:55] i think its a known-bug... anyone have any info on a workaround? [21:55] this is interesting, one site doesn't work, and the other does; dns issues? [21:56] urlin2u: parallels is a virtual machine software. [21:57] Jordan_U, Ah, thanks I didn't know that I knew of the limitations of the virtual. [21:58] Fiddich: You may have better results (though probably still not ideal) with VirtualBox. === erkan is now known as Guest84396 [21:59] Parallels will solve this issue on the next build according to their KB [21:59] hello people, i want a software which make me able to download videos from youtube [22:00] virtual box is not an option since every OS runs much smoother with parallels [22:00] so how do I install GRUB with an Ubuntu Live DVD?

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [22:08] ok, thank you. I ask because it my site is suddenly saying for no reason that safe mode is on, and that my scripts don't have access === chris_ is now known as Guest71125 === vbgunz_ is now known as vbgunz [22:09] narcoblix: well safe mode is there to prevent scripts/hackers from messing up your system.

I think theoretically I could fix it if I moved the portrait monitor to the right of the landscape but my desk prevents that.. [22:45] escott: what actually did the job is "head -c 100000 filebig > filesmall" [22:46] FerretWithASpor1, unfortunately the nvidia stuff is largely broken wrt to multi-head, so you are kinda stuck with what they offer you [22:46] propman: yeah i found out the add-on manager [22:46] propman: but this shet is like complicated [22:46] brontosaurusrex, yeah sorry. should have thought of that [22:46] Jordan_U: I can get output now running ./main > dev/stdout, is there a way to embed this command in my c program?

Does it do what you want? [22:55] MestreLion, it would be best to set an install prefix to install to /opt just so you can find it and clean it out later if you need to remove it [22:55] battlehands, the find command should print out everything that is executable [22:55] escott, yeah. I found it... waiting on it to load... [22:56] Jordan_U: no, I have to run it as "./main > /dev/stdout" to get the correct behavior. I guess that will work well enough. Thanks for the help [22:56] escott, the icon for the program shows up and then it closes immediately... [22:56] battlehands, any output to the terminal [22:57] escott, oh. I wasnt running it from terminal [22:57] escott: thanks! but how do i set an install prefix? And if i dont set any, what is the "default" prefix?

[22:58] drd_: That is very odd though. What does happen when you just run "./main"? Do you see no output at all? [22:58] MestreLion, the default prefix is probably going to be /usr which will make it harder to clear out. usually you want ./configure --prefix=/opt/whatever [22:58] escott, now that I found the file. can I create a shortcut to it? [22:58] Jordan_U: yes there no output, although I can still provide input to the program. It's because SDL redirects stdout and stderr to somewhere else [22:59] battlehands, not sure how well this application will work if you don't even have the required libc [22:59] escott: /usr needs sudo. Ive downloaded a source using git to a folder in my home dir... im planning on NOT using sudo when i make install.. is that possible? [23:00] hy [23:00] HEY! [23:00] escott, why dont I have the required libc...

[23:02] R0ck3T: well, this is "a" chat room... not "the" chat room :P [23:02] battlehands, most likely because you are running a 64bit os, and your 32bit compatible libc is in /lib32. you could try and hand edit the matlab scripts to check the correct location, but i would worry that the binary won't know where to look [23:02] How do I generate an ssh key for a specific domain, say, gasseus@ubernerd.us?

[23:05] escott: hmm, I will look at alsactl, alsamixer doesn't let me [23:05] daavis, unity [23:05] programming, kde doesnt use pulseaudio they are different === OsAmA is now known as BaDr [23:05] programming: its part of Indicator Applet [23:05] Oh, am I on artsd? [23:05] escott, and nowhere else? [23:05] programming, the master front volume in alsamixer can go above 100 [23:05] how can i check if Exim was compiled with OpenSSL (or GnuTLS) support [23:06] Gentoo64: how do I get it higher? [23:06] I'm running Openbox as my WM (without GNOME) and all of a sudden after a reboot, it doesn't seem to read my .config/openbox/autostart.sh anymore? It loads up just the blank desktop, but respects my themes and such. [23:06] programming, see if you have a master front volume in alsamixxer [23:06] that can go up very loud [23:07] daavis, many of the desktops are going in the same general direction. gnome 3 has many unity like elements. or you can run gnome classic and use things like awn, but ubuntu is the only distro shipping unity that i know of [23:07] all I have is master. [23:07] but I got this option when I used the regular ubuntu dist. [23:07] from pulse. [23:07] escott: any good tutorial in "make install"... i would like to test some apps from upstream sources (ive git'ed and built them already), but i dont want to mess with my system.. so i would like them to be contained in home dirs and no spread files over lib. usr, adding .desktop entries, etc [23:07] someone sent me a folder with zip files. each zip file is another zip file which is part of a multipart single file. what is the fastest way to extract the file? in windows I used to right click a series of files and extract to a single folder. In ubuntu I dont see that option [23:08] MestreLion, that would just be a general make tutorial. you may just want to read the Makefile. just scroll down until you find the install target. the real work happens in the configure script which generates the Makefile [23:08] escott, thx [23:09] Bisu[Shield], maybe write a recursive bash script. or unzip the master zip and then for f in file/*.zip; do unzip $f; done [23:09] well.. i installed additional driver for 3d effects and stuff, but when i changed login screen to unity it showed "smth about hardware". i have new acer laptop [23:10] daavis: that "cool panel on the left" is part of Unity.. and Unity was developed by Ubuntu... its homebrew, still evolving, so i doubt any other distro will adopt it for now [23:10] it told me to change to classic [23:10] i did [23:10] and the cool type ubuntu disapeared [23:10] now i uninstalled driver [23:11] daavis, thats dropping back to unity-2d which is supposed to be similar to unity but it lacks some of the compiz features [23:11] i hope this will help [23:11] daavis: Unity requires 3D to work.. maybe the driver wasnt compatible with #d or with Unity [23:11] is there a way to have 11.04 persistantly to use chrome instead of constantly asking me to make it the default web browser, i have set it in system settings as the default [23:12] programming: gnome-volume-control [23:12] programming: For details on how to do it manually try asking in #pulseaudio. [23:13] i installed ubuntu 11.04 and by there was this panel on left and Mac os type desktop :) really cool. so.. what i need to do to get back on that [23:13] by deafult* [23:13] daavis, choose standard ubuntu in the login screen [23:13] Thanks Jordan_U .. I think I have to come to terms with not having pulse now though.. [23:13] thx [23:13] ok [23:13] amn [23:13] i'm fiddling with amixer [23:14] Ubuntu Classic | Ubuntu classic (no effects) [23:14] daavis, if your laptop is brand new core i-series it might contain multiple graphics cards, which could be the source of your problems [23:14] programming: pavucontrol [23:14] escott, yea, seems like thatr [23:14] hi everyone, may i ask a question about ubuntu ? [23:14] no [23:14] Gentoo64, ? [23:14] awesomeness, sure , go ahead [23:15] daavis, the sandybridges aren't going to be fully supported until 11.10 fyi. i need to sign off but im sure someone else can help [23:15] r_a_f: I tried that before, i don't believe it can do the amplification thing [23:15] bazhang, thanks, Im new Ubuntu user, and im wondering how to manage my Iphone's files through any program which available for Ubuntu ? [23:15] greets all [23:15] plus no pulse here. hm [23:16] I bet my android phone is louder than this lousy onboard sound [23:16] programming, try in kubuntu or kde [23:16] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone awesomeness this might help [23:16] i'm there [23:16] you guys just responded first [23:16] they haven't got any ideas yet [23:16] ola [23:16] damn, i changed to ubuntu classic.. it's still the same old type gnome [23:16] bazhang, thanks im gonna read it [23:16] programming, have you tried googling? kde raise volume above 100 [23:17] no panel on left :( [23:17] daavis_, the best kind :) [23:17] !google > Gentoo64 [23:17] Gentoo64, please see my private message [23:17] Results for > Gentoo64 on Google: [23:17] daavis_, you can put a panel on the left and even customize it the way you want [23:17] -- [23:17] no, i really like this new version :) [23:17] daavis_: "Ubuntu Classic" is specifically the old-school Gnome thing. [23:17] bazhang, dont be like that [23:18] one of you told me to change to that :) [23:18] daavis_: and what Ubuntu 11.04 defaults to if your 3D video stuff isn't working properly [23:18] if there is somewhere better to ask this then please tell me - I want to buy a netbook - screens all seem to be 1024x600 - do the video controllers allow for better resolution when I plug in an external monitor [23:18] how would I make it so that the user@host part of my public ssh key is something like the@ubernerd.us? [23:18] daavis_: lots of people don't like "the new thing", which is unfortunate (becuase it is pretty cool, once you get used to it) [23:18] Gasseus: Bye the ubernerd.us domain and point it at your public IP [23:19] Gentoo64: the results from google seem to be "buy audio equipment" which is probably the accurate thing to do... [23:19] so, the question is what is the name of login screen which goes there by default ? [23:19] and it worked perfectly for me [23:19] Gentoo64, then dont tell people to google it. no response is better than that [23:19] MagicJ, search google with the model # + ubuntu + resolutions [23:19] MagicJ, well I am not sure,, I believe it might depend on the gpu in the system [23:19] edbian I already own ubernerd.us, how would I make it so my ssh public key has that username though? [23:19] programming: you need aqualizer? [23:19] Gasseus: Oh! I'm not sure :( [23:19] awesomeness: allegedly, you can access files on the iPhone out of the box. [23:19] bazhang, no response is better? does that mean its a good response? [23:19] daavis: I'm unclear on the order of events, does this sound correct: 1: You installed Ubuntu and out of the box you had the side launcher (unity3D) 2: You were prompted to install a graphics driver 3: You installed this graphics driver and after rebooting you were brought to a Desktop without the side launcher (Ubuntu classic). [23:20] Jordan_U, perfect! [23:20] awesomeness: as far as replacing itunes, I think Banshee (one of the default music players in Ubuntu) can somewhat replace iTunes [23:20] r_a_f: i need a better sound card :/ [23:20] hm. does it make sense that flash screws with mouse acceleration/speed? [23:20] i guess i will do my question again [23:20] babaei, yes i have been told to download Banshee i have downloaded it just a few minutes ago, but i have no idea how to use that :( [23:21] almost like i only have to mouse over at the wrong time and it changes my settings [23:21] MagicJ, there are better ones out there but they are more likely to be called small notebooks. Netbook kinda means low price so you don't get much. [23:21] since my upgrade from maverick to natty yesterday i end up with a broken gnome, am trying to get all my conf files back to defaults, but before this i have a very custom gnome schema working which i dont care no more, so am trying to get all gnome back to factory defaults, i try erasing my ~/.gconf from all users including root, create a new user, create a new home for that user, some how copyes old values back to everyhome i build when gnome starts, now i tr [23:21] Jordan_U, any ideas ? [23:21] daavis_: What driver exactly did you enable? If you don't remember then look at the "Additional Drivers" tool again. [23:21] awesomeness, Banshee is similar to iTunes, somewhat... [23:21] awesomeness: it should be installed by default. to get at it, click on the speaker on the top-right of the screen, and click on "banshee" [23:21] nvidia [23:21] daavis_, it could very easily be that yoru graphics card is not good enough to run unity [23:21] awesomeness: I don't have an iphone/ipod, so I haven't personally tested it out.l [23:22] daavis_: you running live CD or full install [23:22] awesomeness: but it should be a partial iTunes clone [23:22] dzup, try sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity then restart X [23:22] I mean, my cell phone handles it the way i want... [23:22] thunsucker, what the hell.. it runed perfectly [23:22] thunsucker: daavis stated earlier that unity was working when he first installed Ubuntu. [23:22] babaei, i mean i run the program it works it opens the dialog but i cant figure out how to syn it to iphone, but anyways thanks a lot im still trying to syn through that program [23:22] ObrienDave, full install [23:22] installation of driver ruined it [23:22] daavis_, if everything was funning perfectly, why did you install the graphics driver? [23:23] awesomeness: allegedly, it should work, so keep on trying. I know that's a useless answer. ;) [23:23] should be able to select ubuntu at log in. [23:23] daavis_, was there a reason to install the graphics driver? [23:23] MagicJ, Viao comes to mind, maybe they have something at their higher prices. [23:23] it was recomended for 3d stuff and some games [23:23] daavis_: should be able to select ubuntu at log in. [23:23] babaei, at least it encourage me) thanks again ) [23:23] whoami [23:23] meme [23:23] yes, i am ObrienDave [23:24] daavis_: did you mention which video card/driver you're using? [23:24] bobJabba, and not really its not alike itues... in this app everything is pretty much different there is no even button to syn so pretty hard but trying so far... [23:24] nvidia geforce gt 540m [23:24] coz_: actually i did all that and mv $HOME newplace; mkdir /home/myuser; chmod -R myuser /home/mysuer and reboot, and create new user and so on, but looks like copy my crap from old configurations somewhere, that somewhere must be out of /home directory [23:25] daavis_: can you go to System Settings->Additional Drivers and tell me which driver you're using? [23:25] daavis_: Can you run "glxinfo" in a terminal and pastebin the output? [23:25] ok, i will [23:25] dzup, but you did that command I gave also ...yes? [23:26] coz_:yes [23:26] dzup, mm that should have reset gnome to defaults after restarting X [23:26] glxinfo is not installed [23:26] daavis_: what laptop are you using? Dell XPS15? [23:26] daavis_, sudo apt-get install mesa-utils [23:26] acer aspire 5742g [23:26] coz_: lets said i have some fun with gconf and --recursive flag that i end up with a broken gnome [23:26] should i install glxinfo as well? [23:27] oh [23:27] understand : [23:27] :) [23:27] dzup, mm rm -R ~/{.gconf*,.gnome,.gnome2} [23:27] coz_, done [23:27] what next [23:27] daavis_, do you actually want to play games? [23:27] dzup, rather the command would be sudo rm -R ~/{.gconf*,.gnome,.gnome2} [23:28] well, actually no.. but it could be coll just to test on linux one [23:28] lol this thing is hard to get along with too complicated for new users ( [23:28] cool* [23:28] daavis_, now you should be able to run glxinfo [23:28] daavis_, if not then just uninstall the nvidia driver [23:28] if it works without it [23:28] daavis_: looks like you should uninstall the nvidia driver for that laptop, and run on the intel driver [23:28] which is why the 3D works without it. [23:28] can you not disable intel in the bios? [23:29] i uninstalled nvidia allready [23:29] daavis_, dual video chipsets? [23:29] Gentoo64: you don't want to do that [23:29] why not? [23:29] this particular device has a weird-ass video card configuration [23:29] ah ok [23:29] some sort of hybrid video card that uses the intel video [23:29] and the nvidia driver doesn't seem to work well with it. [23:29] daavis_, I didnt see the output of this command ,,, lspci | grep -i vga [23:29] coz_: thiswas a complete new /home/myuser ...since i mv the original home somewhere and create this one, this one have the new stuff since i reboot after did that [23:30] dzup, then I am puzzled,, so i will let someone more knowledgeable take over ;) [23:30] coz_, here? [23:30] daavis_, yes [23:30] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [23:30] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0df4 (rev a1) [23:30] daavis_: looks like that GeForce GT 540M is weird... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1699939 [23:30] !pastebin | daavis_ [23:30] daavis_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:31] coz_: all this since i went from maverick to natty yesterday and i get that error i paste [23:31] daavis_: Can you run "glxinfo" in a terminal and pastebin the output? [23:31] coz_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/668689/ [23:31] daavis_, then Gentoo64 was correct,, you most likely will not be able to run the nvidia driver with that configuration,, I have seen strange things happen when both drivers where installed includkng a complete upside down and reversed , but fully funtional desktop [23:31] Jordan_U: look at my link re: GeForce GT 540M [23:32] Jordan_U, yea i can [23:32] # [23:32] but looks like i just have to choose to ubuntu [23:33] dzup, hmm [23:33] After upgrading to Openbox 3.5.0, my ~/.config/openbox/autostart isn't being read, apparently other people are having similar issues but I can't figure out how to resolve it? [23:33] daavis_: it may be possible for you to "disable Optimus" in your BIOS, which may let you use the nVidia card. [23:33] daavis_: Login: ubuntu = unity. ubuntu classic = gnome only [23:33] traskers, have you got an autostart in /etc/xdg/openbox ? [23:33] here it goes http://paste.ubuntu.com/668710/ [23:33] Gentoo64, yes, I have. [23:34] traskers, try renaming the one in home and paste your commands in the xdg one see if it works [23:34] there is conflict between those to cards that's why nvidia can't run properly? [23:35] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus interesting. "Nvidia Optimus is an optimization technology created by Nvidia to save battery life by automatically switching the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) off when it is not needed and switching it on when needed again. When the GPU power is off the driver redirects graphics commands to the integrated graphics chip (e.g. Intel GMA)." [23:35] only supported in Windows 7 [23:35] dzup, ok apparently i am confused,, what is happening exactly as it stands right now? [23:35] Gentoo64, will do, be right back :\ [23:35] coz_: as we speak [23:36] ok does anyone know of a good graphing program for linux simple slope graphing 3d would be nice though [23:36] i hope some day ubuntu will support this as well :) === traskers_ is now known as traskers [23:36] coz_: apt-get update && upgrade goes ok [23:36] babaei, sounds... too complicated tbh [23:36] people have enough issues with nvidia alone [23:36] daavis_: :( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?s=f9d80101210f81978d482b351e371266&p=2183477&postcount=2 [23:36] Gentoo64, negative, ghost rider. [23:36] no? [23:36] no idea :s [23:36] ah damn [23:36] i think is a sintax error in that file [23:37] maybe some day :/ [23:37] does anyone know of any graphing software [23:37] traskers, is this ubuntu or crunchbang? [23:37] Gentoo64, Ubuntu [23:37] dzup, and what is happening with gnome [23:37] it's possible to change driver on laptop, isn't it? not by myself offcourse [23:37] daavis_, you already uninstalled nvidia driver? [23:37] what tool(s) are best for extending partitions? ( I want to extend my / partition). Alternatively, can I easily move the / ? [23:38] coz_, yea [23:38] GutenTag, gparted [23:38] is the standard [23:38] daavis_, through jockey-gtk...yes? [23:38] and next plan is restart system couse i allready changed it back to ubuntu [23:38] tbruff13: graphviz [23:38] Gentoo64: ok, cool. I'm looking at that right now. [23:38] Unless you mean plotting software [23:38] then I suggest gnuplot [23:38] administration-additional drivers [23:38] GutenTag, yea resizing etc is so easy in gparted [23:38] i removed from there by clicking on remove buttion [23:38] daavis_, right that would have bee jockey-gtk [23:38] button* [23:39] daavis_, and you rebooted afterwards...yes? [23:39] not yet [23:39] i will [23:39] now :) [23:39] babaei: It does look like daavis_'s intel graphics are functioning fine right now. Maybe nothing needs to be changed. [23:39] or what... shouldn't i ? [23:39] daavis_, then the nvidia driver is still active until reboot [23:39] coz_: can not see anymore flash from justin.tv in all browser i have, network-notificaion is not there so i have to start that manually to get my wifi going, this is i386 ubuntu natty [23:40] dzup, yikes... did you already do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:41] having hardcore troubles :( isn't here anyone who has synced Iphone to Ubuntu ? pls anyone hit me up im going crazy [23:41] any suggestions on debugging halevt? My command triggers when running it manually using the -f (foreground) option, but when running it in the background (with the same user/group) it doesn't trigger my command. To test it I just made it 'touch ~/test' [23:41] yeah [23:41] dzup, did you look in startup applications to see if the network manager is tick to off? [23:41] Jordan_U: yeah, looks like he can run it on the Intel graphics. it may or may not be possible to disablel this optimus business in the BIOS, which could turn on the nVidia card all the time and allow access to that (which is probably better than the Intel) [23:41] daavis: ^ [23:41] it's the same cool fashioned ubuntu :) [23:41] still poking around a bit. does usb-creator ask root privileges to write bootable usb-stick? [23:42] nice.. :) [23:42] having hardcore troubles :( isn't here anyone who has synced Iphone to Ubuntu ? pls anyone hit me up im going crazy... really no one for help? [23:42] daavis: for the time being, you can probably run it without the extra driver and keep the 3D stuff [23:42] delac, yes, always has. [23:42] babaei: On a laptop "better" could very well be Intel graphics as it would give better battery life. [23:42] awesomeness, would this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [23:42] daavis: it just sucks because the nVidia card would be nicer than the Intel, as far as performance, etc. [23:42] coz_: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [23:43] Jordan_U, urlin2u: I checked, on Ubuntu 9.10 the usb-creator didn't ask root privileges when I created bootable disk [23:43] dzup, then I am completely puzzled,, for me,, solving issues with "upgrades" can be painful..so I am going to hand you off to one of the other people online here ,, [23:43] awesomeness, gtkpod? [23:43] i hope, they have plans about Optimize or how this thing called.. [23:43] coz_, yes i have download Anashee program for manage file on Iphone but it doesn't sync to iphone nohow:( [23:43] coz_: thank you [23:43] delac, live cd of 9.10? [23:43] Gentoo64, its an app ? [23:43] delac: Were you running usb-creator from a LiveCD or from an installed system? [23:43] aparently [23:43] Jordan_U, urlin2u: and the problems started occuring after some update on 10.10 [23:43] dzup, dont give up please,,, someon will either pick up with this,, or ask the question again [23:43] help how do i fix A server error when i try to download a torrent that what is says i am useing firefox 6.0 but in ghrome i try it and it works fine ?> [23:43] can someone tell me how to dl a ppa ver of wine? [23:43] Jordan_U, urlin2u: no live-cd. installation on hard drive [23:44] coz_: sure, same to you :) [23:44] delac, well it does now why are you obsessed with this? [23:44] Jordan_U, urlin2u: also. unetbootin doesn't need any privileges either [23:44] kingofswords, you mean t his one ? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa [23:44] delac, unetbootin needs u=it just to open. [23:44] Hey everyone, I have a quick question about a cron tab I saw. "30 4 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /opt/railsapp && RAILS_ENV=production rake cron --silent'" What does the /bin/bash -l -c do? [23:44] pooltable, can you rephrase that? [23:45] coz_ is that the one that works with pulseaudio [23:45] urlin2u: it just seems like some sort of bug, and i dont like using buggy software. expecially when it writes over stuff [23:45] hey I was woundering what your guys thank on this subject Mac vs Ubuntu [23:45] kingofswords, well,, I believe that is the PPA for the beta's of wine [23:45] !ot | Unknown_Monkey [23:45] Unknown_Monkey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:45] Unknown_Monkey, i dont think you can poll in here [23:45] ok thx [23:45] delac, seems and reality are not the same, if you want no bugs you will have to stop using a computer. [23:45] kingofswords, not sure if they do or do not work with pulseaudio [23:45] kingofswords, do you know how to use that? [23:45] gentoo64 i go to a torrent site try to download it say server erroe then i try in chrome and it work is it a firefox 6.0 error [23:46] ? [23:46] error [23:46] delac: I just ran "unetbootin" from Ubuntu 11.04 and was given a gksudo prompt. [23:46] pooltable, try it again? have you tweaked firefoxs about:config? [23:46] coz_no [23:46] can i uninstall old wine with synaptic? [23:47] gentoo64 what do i need to change in about config ? [23:47] pooltable, nothing... [23:47] kingofswords, ok first open synaptic package manager or the software sources dialog [23:47] pooltable, i have no idea then [23:47] awesomeness: what exactly isn't working? [23:47] both should open sites the same [23:47] it's not detecting the phone? [23:47] ok ive just complete removal wine but its still there? [23:47] delac: sudo and gksudo remember your authentication for a time (5 minutes?) after you enter your password by default, so that you don't need to keep being prompted for it multiple times in a short period. [23:48] looks like there is no option to turn the transmission on automatically when ubuntu starts. so.. your torrent program suggestions? [23:48] Jordan_U, urlin2u: oh, it seems I have been using unetbootin right after some other privileges needing program, so it has just used the grace time... XD [23:48] kingofswords, how did you unintall it? and with the ppa it will update whatever you have on there [23:48] daavis: i use utorrent with wine [23:48] erm [23:48] Jordan_U: yes, exactly that [23:48] delac, use sudo -k to reset the timer [23:48] i remove using synaptic [23:48] delac, or change the timeout if you want it feeling more solid [23:48] delac: :) [23:48] daavis, rtorrent? [23:48] kingofswords, ok [23:48] daavis: although I don't think that will fix your problem, because you need to launch utorrent somehow. [23:48] kingofswords, is synapitc still opened? [23:48] is that right...shall i rebboot [23:49] yeh [23:49] delac, it happens we are all learning here. ;-) [23:49] yea.. i think i will check rtorrent [23:49] daavis, btw, isn't there a transmission daemon ?
