[00:00] ahh, good. that didn't work. [00:00] When I try to cd to ~/.gvfs I get "Transport endpoint is not connected" [00:02] hello [00:02] hi [00:02] cykros: What is the output of "groups"? [00:02] cykros, you are aware you need to log out / back in to update group membership right? [00:04] how can I update repositories from ftp server [00:05] it uses http://ftp.* [00:05] well, i am now, but either way zykotick9, it didn't work [00:05] Test [00:05] thats still using http even if its name is ftp. Unless you are just pasteing the url you used. :) [00:05] :p [00:05] Jordan_U: adm cdrom plugdev admin along with the group named after the user itself [00:05] well i have the NFS share mounting now, from the other machine. But when i try and access it it says 'access denied' [00:05] cykros, can you give reply to Jordan_U's question [00:06] cykros, sorry, you just did ;) [00:06] whereas my primary user has this: adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare cykros [00:06] cykros: You're missing "audio". [00:07] Jordan_U: see, my primary user doesn't have audio either. [00:07] and i've already tried audio. [00:07] oh, to clarify, my primary user HAS audio, but is not in the audio group. [00:07] the only ones in the audio group are pulse, and subsonic. [00:08] subsonic being the multimedia daemon/program [00:08] cykros: Your user should be in the audio group by default, can you think of why you aren't in the audio group? [00:08] also, from my reading, it seemed that audio is a group for users to be able to access the soundcard when not logged in. [00:09] Jordan_U: when i created the account at installation, it was not selected [00:09] perhaps it matters that this is ubuntu 11.04? [00:09] idk if anything's changed along the way [00:09] well, as far as this goes. [00:09] things change...too fast. [00:09] cykros: Have you tried muting then unmuting the volume as the new user? [00:10] trying again, just to make sure [00:10] no dice though [00:11] CheatEngine: hey dip shit [00:12] Ciaus, no cursing [00:12] hey guys I got a question, I put password on the bios so everytime it reboot I have to type it in, now the thing is- it makes this weird beep sound, how do I turn off that annoying beep? [00:12] Ciaus: That type of language and abuse is not acceptable here. [00:12] Ogi0n: open you case and disconnect your computer speaker. [00:12] !guidelines | Ciaus [00:12] Ciaus: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [00:12] it's a small little speaker that connects through, what do we call that thing, a jumper? [00:12] cykros: its a laptop actually [00:12] most of those speakers are built into the MB these days [00:12] other than that though, from what i understand, that's a pretty hardwired beep. [00:13] unfortunately, the answer is still the same :-/ [00:13] open it up. hot glue on the speaker. :) [00:13] cykros: awww [00:13] Ciaus: If you would like to be unmuted please join #ubuntu-ops. [00:13] i mean, or write new firmware for your bios? [00:13] heh [00:13] hope you know ASM... [00:13] its beeping to tell you to enter the password. :) [00:13] yea, it sucks. one of the many problems with laptops [00:14] stupid beep, i got both the boot lock up and the set up thing lock up, i guess ill just do the set up thing lock oh well lol [00:14] thnx tho [00:14] Do you always need a mountpoint dir if you want to share a filder with NFS? [00:14] not d sure why you need so many locks [00:14] lol just experimenting that's all [00:14] well, on the laptop at least that lock does something. a desktop is really easy to get around a bios password [00:14] Daghdha: you mount a nfs share to a dir.. same as you mount anyhing else. [00:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo Daghdha read this? [00:14] just open the case, remove the battery for a minute or two, and put it back in [00:14] I have an issue: it seems the my laptop fan is running at full speed [00:14] cmos wiped. [00:15] Dr_Willis: I want to share it [00:15] it's making a lot of noise, how can I control thid [00:15] cykros, isn't it the same with most laptops? [00:15] anon: um...you don't want to slow your fan down. you could perhaps look into a better cooling system. [00:15] cykros: oooh, i didnt know that trick thnx for pointing that out, i was gonna do the same for my desktop [00:15] Daghdha: when you say 'share' you mean share via NFS or Samba? NFS is shareing a dir.. that then gets mounted to a remote box's somwehere.. [00:15] com64: sure, but opening a laptop case sucks. [00:15] heh [00:15] cykros, removing the batter won't clear the password. If that's what you're suggesting. Ogi0n [00:15] cykros: im just comparing with Win [00:15] NFS [00:15] with mine, only keyboard removal is needed [00:15] it makes less noise [00:15] a desktop case is often a push button, or a few screws you can turn by hand [00:15] which is three screws [00:16] well, you got a nice case i guess. i've only really dealt with dell or mac cases [00:16] Daghdha: clarify a bit more i think. [00:16] which i know are worse than most. [00:16] Dr_Willis: so if i have /mnt/downloads wich is a disk. And i want to make that available as NFS share so i can use it from another location [00:16] zykotick9 oic [00:16] there's a way to reset cmos by shorting a couple of connections on the cmos ic iirc [00:16] hey i am writing a paper for school and a just started using libre office. the paper is pretty long. i wrote it all out and when i went to print it it printed like crap so a realized that the paper dementions were wrong so i changed them but now it has cut off everything out side of those dementions instead of adding a new page any help? [00:17] Daghdha: you define/export the 'share' on the server, the client then mounts the share to some directory. [00:17] ok so i need no entries in fstab for NFS to export it [00:17] tazthaspaz: copy your text, paste it into a text file, save to a usb stick, and go edit it in a word processor you know how to use. then learn to use libre office when you have time and don't have such a major item on the line. [00:17] if you can't do that...idk, try copying your text into google docs? [00:17] Daghdha, /etc/exports define the NFS shares [00:17] and figure it out from there. [00:18] term papers is no time to be learning new software, heh [00:18] Daghdha: its ecported from /etc/exports .. like the docs say. the REMOTE box then has a fstab entry to mount the exported share [00:18] i'd consider helping you figure it out, but it'd be way too slow, and you're doing a term paper. [00:18] ok i made entries there. [00:19] im not doing an actual paper its a list of vocabulary words. . . i am in 8th grade [00:19] oh, heh [00:19] tazthaspaz, #libreoffice may be more help for you [00:19] NFSv4 server seems to have a lot of neat/new features :) not used that yet. [00:19] well then. unfortunately, i'm not really a libre office person [00:19] i was just chastising you. but you're in 8th grade. yea, check out #libreoffice [00:19] k thanks [00:20] ...i've just far too often seen college students do that kind of thing. heh. it's a nightmare. [00:20] Dr_Willis ok it says it's exported using exportfs command [00:20] Been ages since i last used nfs. :) at least 2 yrs. [00:21] Mounted on remote..dir n: [00:21] Says access denied [00:21] What does "Transport endpoint is not connected" mean? [00:22] see who owns the exorted dir/mountpont now Daghdha. what dir did you export? [00:22] lol [00:22] Dr_Willis: In he idmapd.conf i entered my own user name as the nobody-user and nobody-group, will it then beme? [00:22] Dr_Willis /mnt/downloads [00:22] i own it [00:23] double check the permissions i guess. I normally just export /home/ [00:23] wow...either things are being weirdly buggy right now, or 4 gb of ram isn't enough. [00:23] and considering i'm only running a few terminals, vlc, and firefox, i think the former is the case. [00:23] theres never enough ram. [00:23] though, it is gnome. ick. [00:24] yea, idk. i'm usually a fluxbox person. i think i may have two users logged in right now too [00:24] and a few daemons running, though they all have low load. [00:24] tor relay never takes much in the way of resources...i have it throttled. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:24] wtf. i think you all can see why not getting sound on this new user is frustrating me. [00:26] There's this PowerPoint in OO.o that forces itself to go fullscreen and does not want to be minimized or put in a window! Is this a virus? [00:26] Dr_Willis: Is there any place where i can see maybe as who my other server is trying to access the share? [00:27] LABcrab, yes, you should reboot at least 3 times [00:27] Daghdha: theres prob. some logs you can set the NFS server to display or enable verbse logging. [00:28] bl4ckcomb__: There must be something that i'm doing wrong. Or maybe the file's bad? [00:28] Daghdha: i always add my users in the same order on my linux box's so they alway shave the same uid/gid. :) so ive rarely had an issue with the users [00:28] cykros: What do you see when you run "alsamixer" as the new user? [00:29] i get the alsamixer configuration screen with sliders that i can play with. none are muted except for a line in and a few back mics. [00:29] Do users need to be in some group to be able to use NFS maybe? [00:30] i feel like i'm 1 change away from success [00:30] most of the sliders are all the way up. lets see. master is, headphones is, pcm is, front is, front mi. is muted, but another one right next to it is up at 22, surround (which i don't have) is all the way up, as is center... [00:31] lfe is all the way up, line is muted, s/pdif just says "00", as does s/pdif D. read mic is muted [00:31] and thats it. oh, it says card: HDA ATI SB and Chip: Realtek ALC892. [00:32] cykros: You have two sound cards? [00:32] hi there [00:32] the other is only an HDMI card. though i guess my webcam technically may act somewhat like one for its mic. [00:33] but the one i listed is the main one that gets used by the primary user on a daily basis [00:33] Hi, over the past 3-4 weeks I've noticed some strange behavior in Firefox 3.6.18 [00:33] if firefox is minimized to tray at random intervals the browser window pops up in screen [00:33] the error console doesn't appear to list what the cause is [00:33] noscript, adblockplus and betterprivacy addons are installed [00:33] anyone experience similar behavior recently? [00:33] anon^_^: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:34] <[THC]AcidRain> where is the file that controls if php returns any error messages or not? [00:34] Right now, i have an old computer that will only boot from floppy. How do i install Ubuntu? [00:35] LABcrab: What are the specs aside from only being able to boot from floppy? [00:36] nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh does that mean userid is 65534? [00:36] LABcrab: And I assume it can boot fromm the internal hard drive as well, but you don't have a CDROM drive or the ability to boot from USB? [00:36] Jordan_U: at this point i think i'm scratching my hypothesis that this is a permissions thing and more a pulseaudio being weird thing. [00:37] Jordan_U: It has DVD and CD drives and cannot boot from it. 800mhz / 512 MB RAM / little hard drive. [00:37] not that i know enough to determine that for sure. just a hunch. [00:37] cykros: Try asking in #pulseaudio [00:37] aight, thanks [00:37] can someone help me extract something into a folder from the command line ? [00:37] cykros: You're welcome. [00:39] LABcrab: Ubuntu no longer supports processors below i686. Do you know if you have an i686 processor? [00:39] chaospsychex: Is it zip? [00:39] Jordan_U: It is an AMD Duron. [00:39] qin: tar.bz2 so what is that? [00:40] 'tar xjvf *.tar.bz2' to decompress [00:40] chaospsychex: tar.bz2 is a file archiving format [00:40] help downgrade firefox how to ??? [00:41] Are terminal type programs like mpd the only music players that can allow browsing by folder structure? [00:41] foobar? [00:41] i've never tried it on nix before, check it out [00:41] george_: mocp (install as moc) [00:41] i know it's highly customizable [00:41] Jordan_U: x86. Competed against Pentium III. [00:41] foobar2000 george_ [00:42] qin, isn't that a terminal program? [00:42] george_: Yes, ncurces [00:42] csdserver, linux native, foobar2000 is what I used to use on windows and loved it, I want a folder structure like foobar2000 had [00:42] songbird also allows for it with an extension, however im not sure it runs natively? [00:42] *..ses [00:43] drwillis left? === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [00:43] Daghdha: yes, about 10 minutes ago [00:43] Aw, he helped me so nice. [00:44] Well it works :P cd N: [00:44] ls [00:44] oops [00:44] if you feel like dealing with wine and troubleshooting all that goes along with it... although if wine can run my WoW at nearly the same optimal speeds, i don't see why a small program like foobar2000 would run into trouble. [00:45] maybe the developers for a game do their best to comply to MS standards and requirements to get WIN logo certified to stick on their packaging. And foobar doesn't' give a F. === lance_ is now known as Guest22431 [00:46] :)) [00:46] fresh install of 10.04, chrome freezes after a few pages, or during download... [00:46] LABcrab: I think that's i686 but I'm not sure. [00:47] My audio has been giving me issues for a while now, if two things try to play a sound at the same time (Even rhythmbox and an alert sound on skype) the sound gets distorted and the tone drops. Anyone have a clue where I should start to troubleshoot this? [00:47] !next [00:47] Jordan_U: How do you boot from floppy? [00:48] I want to create a Lucid persistent bootable USB, can anyone recommend me a good guide? [00:48] LABcrab: Is there an OS that runs on the internal HD currently? [00:48] stealz: i think unetbootin may do that, though it may not go far enough back to do lucid [00:48] winston_, I am not up on all troubleshooting for audio..however both the #pusleaudio and #alsa channels should be real helpful since they have the resources for it [00:48] !floppy [00:48] To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone [00:48] if so though, it will be your easiest option, so you may want to check it [00:48] whats the command to compile and use both cores of the cpu ? [00:48] stealz, unetbootin will do it. [00:48] coz_ Hey, thanks a bunch, that will probably be a better place. =D [00:49] 10.04, chrome freezes after a few pages, or during downloads.. have looked through google, and havent come across anything useful, any help would be appreciated [00:49] cykros, urlin2u: oh, I thought unetbootin wouldnt create persistent usbs? [00:49] more like a liveCD [00:49] stealz, or the startup disc creator, yeah it does now. [00:49] I hear some noise from speakers in laptop [00:49] urlin2u, thank you [00:49] chaospsychex, see if both are running with this command cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l [00:49] I mean headphones [00:49] stealz, np [00:49] stealz: oh, wait, sorry, i got it wrong i believe [00:49] chaospsychex, I think that is correct [00:50] i heard persistant and thought it meant "unchanging", rather than allowing your changes to be persistant [00:50] sorry. [00:50] idk how to help you there though. [00:50] hey everyone, can somebody hint me which one of those i have to download for my OS? im running latest Ubuntu http://metasploit.com/download/ [00:51] coz_: output was two! so when i do 'make' how do i enable compilation using both? [00:51] LABcrab: I need to leave in 10 minutes. I can probably help you but you'll need to answer my questions quickly if possible. [00:51] help downgrade firefox how to ??? [00:51] chaospsychex, mm n ot exactly sure ,, since both are already running but let me check [00:52] hey everyone, can somebody hint me which one of those i have to download for my OS? im running latest Ubuntu http://metasploit.com/download/ [00:52] Kamikaze, you running ubuntu 32 0r 64 bit [00:52] 64 [00:52] Kamikaze, then download the 64 bit,, [00:52] chaospsychex, is this amd or intel? [00:53] Kamikaze, 64 bit linux if linux is the install [00:53] but it offers "PGP" and "SHA1" so i dont know whats the difference [00:53] coz_ : amd [00:54] urlin2u, but it offers "PGP" and "SHA1" so i dont know whats the difference [00:54] Kamikaze, those are hashes not th OS [00:54] chaospsychex, ok I am not sure about this so instead of making you hold on while I search I am going to let someone more knowledgeable answer t his so,, ask the question again and I will not responf to it [00:54] the* [00:55] urlin2u, i have downloaded "framework-4.0.0-linux-x64-full.run" will this work with my OS ? [00:55] whats the command to compile and use both cores of the cpu ? [00:55] LABcrab: It is possible to install Ubuntu when you can only boot from a floppy disk, using Super GRUB2 Disk as a boot floppy, but how exactly you go about it will depend on your situation. [00:55] Kamikaze, probably, have never used it, are they apps or full oprating systems [00:55] Kamikaze, I have not tired this , however,, the only way is to test it [00:56] Kamikaze, with I nic like yours I'm surprised you asked. ;-) [00:57] coz_, urlin2u the problem is that i double-click on file and it asks which program i wand to load it with? it doesn't automatically recognize that .run format, I'm about how to run/install it ? [00:57] lol ) [00:57] can anyone help me with google chrome freezing in 10.04? [00:57] Kamikaze, right click the .run,, go to preferences and permission and make sure it is marked as executable [00:57] celeryman: Chrome or Chromium? [00:57] chrome, from google.com/chrome [00:57] Kamikaze, then open a terminal ,, cd to the location of that file,, then ./nameof.run [00:58] celeryman: Try using chromium-browser from the repositories instead.

[01:00] what would cause parted to be unable to read an ntfs partition [01:00] exutux, therefore im here, to make sure what im doing :) [01:00] Kamikaze: and so install not full type === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:01] exutux, the full one isn't as good as half version ? [01:01] Kamikaze: I mean using metasploit... not dangerous for install it, but for exploit [01:02] Kamikaze: for full version you need databases and other stuff installed [01:02] exutux, oh i got it thanks, now im gonna download the half one, i didn't know that it requires DB and stuff like that, thanks Sr [01:02] does it read other partitions?

[01:07] Come to terms with the fact you are a massochist would be the 1st step. [01:08] Kamikaze: linux = hacker ? you wrong ;) [01:08] exutux, ya i know but i dont handle any kind of Linux or Unix, I'm coming from Windows 7 [01:09] Kamikaze: Then you had better start from the basics.

[01:28] @cnz good to hear [01:28] cnz, the addon flash aid will remove the cruft and make sure it's all correct [01:28] ahh thank you. hold on [01:28] cnz, cool working [01:28] cnz, I recommend getting Flash-Aid (a Firefox plugin) [01:29] it will install everything you need and make flash work better overall [01:29] I have a question. Can I separate workspaces across dual monitors so that switching windows leaves one static on a video or something like that? [01:29] Would that be in ccsm? [01:29] urlin2u: yeah it's working now just took a few restarts [01:29] thanks gu ys [01:30] megaloman, you can drag from screen to screen [01:30] megaloman: not sure what you are trying to archieve, can you explain better? [01:30] I've done quite a few tweaks on dual monitors [01:30] urlin2u, I can have the two screens fine. [01:30] Thanks to who told me the tips :). [01:31] I want to set one static so when I switch windows it stays in one workspace. [01:31] play with it [01:31] To play a video while i still use all my virtual desktops. [01:31] aaah I see, so basically, one stays the same all the time, the workspaces only apply to the 2nd monitor [01:32] megaloman, I havent done this but sounds like a good idea [01:32] Right. That would solve this. I'd like to be able to toggle focus ideally, but a static screen would work. [01:32] megaloman: I tried doing that a while ago and didn't get very far [01:32] ppl i cant use my laptop fn convination keys [01:32] megaloman: what windowmanager are you using? [01:32] unity. [01:33] Hm... where is the guide I can learn the ocmmand lines? [01:33] command* [01:33] I am on compiz, but you could try enabling always show on visible workspace on the panel tab if that works in unity [01:33] this just in from HP.... "Drop Dead" [01:34] I'll give that a shot. [01:34] alexleon: what exactly isn't working? [01:34] megaloman: or try if you can find that option when right-clicking the titlebar (always show on visible workspace) [01:34] it will still switch both monitors, but your video will always be visible on one screen [01:36] techie66 i want to turn on my wifi but the fn convination doesnt work [01:36] u know fn + f1 f2 f3... any of thosework [01:36] I don't get a menu when right clicking the titlebar, I'm looking it System Settings. [01:37] Oh. I didn't understand at first, you mean for the application. [01:37] megaloman, I don't know how this works in unity, but wherever that application is shown (any taskbar or similar) you should get that menu [01:37] alexleon: the wifi thing often happens because your wifi module isn't loaded [01:38] Can anyone help with why when I transfer large files from my win7 machine to my ubuntu 11.04 via samba it crashes my ubuntu machine? [01:38] alexleon: are the other FN keys supposed to change volume/brightness and such or something different [01:39] yes techie66 the only think that works is the volume thats it nothin alse works [01:40] brighness doesnt work :( === douglas is now known as unholy [01:40] alexleon: depending on the laptop, sometimes special modules are available [01:40] ..to enable these features [01:41] where can i fid them [01:41] what exactly does cat etc/passwd show me?

[01:42] hmmm [01:43] i would try another pc to verify connectivity and to see if the mirror is up [01:43] another pc on the same connection? [01:43] should it be a lot of output or just the users on the system? [01:43] sure [01:43] I can download packages on this one [01:44] idk [01:44] How do I unregister the sites framework in the django admin? [01:46] Hey thanks everybody. I got that working alright. Alt-space brings up that menu in unity if anyone else wants to know. [01:47] nvm, found it [01:47] oh shit, wrong channel. sorry [01:48] techie66 can u check it out for me?

The update client periodically checks your network’s IP address; if it sees that your IP address has changed, it sends (updates) the new IP address to your hostname in your Dyn account.

[02:30] the md5 and file size was wrong the last time i downloaded from the homepage. [02:30] Desyncify: then rebuild the USB . [02:30] wildbat, i've rebuilt the usb like 5 times [02:30] Desyncify: did you check the md5 against the ISO? [02:30] Desyncify, WOW [02:30] Quantum_Ion: ogg theora seems to be a pretty popular video format in Linux, but seems to be relatively unheard of other places [02:30] newbie_: yeah that was strange [02:31] wildbat, yea, done everything exactly as I did last night when I installed 64 bit [02:31] Desyncify: if the downloaded ISO is bad it doesn't better how many time you rebuild it . [02:31] maybe this time it will work. [02:31] kazzy, So true, however to post a video to youtube it has to be in MP4 or FLV format so that is why I was using FFMPEG to convert the video to FLV or MP4 [02:31] Desyncify: try different method to build it then . [02:32] wildbat, aight I'll keep trying [02:32] I am SO tired of MS. :) [02:32] kazzy, I am pretty sure youtube doesn't support ogg [02:32] !USB | Desyncify [02:32] Desyncify: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [02:33] kazzy, I think I pulled a video off of you youtube using youtube-dl and I noticed it was in MP4 format [02:33] Quantum_Ion: yeah, that's true [02:33] ubottu, thanks [02:33] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [02:33] what do you think of F15 as an alternative? [02:33] *Fedora 15 [02:34] newbie_: I cannot endorse any distro for another person. As long as it's linux I approve :) [02:34] it is. [02:34] kazzy, You can use this command to record your screen activies with Ubuntu Linux and make a tutorial using Ubuntu, it captures sound too - > ffmpeg -f alsa -itsoffset 00:00:02.000 -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -s $(xwininfo -root | grep 'geometry' | awk '{print $2;}') -r 10 -i :0.0 -sameq -f mp4 -s wvga -y intro.mp4 [02:34] newbie_ you know their channel?

[02:38] sure* [02:38] kazzy, However I had to rebuild ALSA on my laptop because there was a problem with the default version of ALSA on my system it woould not recognize my microphone so I could not record sound using FFMPEG or AUDACITY [02:38] ok. bittorrent?

[02:40] quizme: Download "deborphan" then run... [02:40] ^^^ [02:40] rypervenche: ok so i wanna remove the stuff marked as "c" [02:41] newbie_: first you need to download the Ubuntu image aka .iso go to www.ubuntu.com and download..

[02:42] 32bit [02:42] newbie_: yeah, thats why you should use bittorrent [02:42] just a second [02:42] I won't upgrade until the next LTS release I have no time to trouble shoot bugs and errors [02:42] Way too time consuming [02:42] newbie_: you want 11.04 right?

[02:48] my hardisk not detected ? [02:48] Sna4x8: Get Chromium. It was instant for me. [02:48] Hey, I'm having a problem in 10.04 where blank DVDs are not being detected [02:48] urlin2u: system -> preferences -> monitors, yes. I've had this problem before and successfully fixed it in xorg.conf in etc/X11, but I can't find that file. [02:48] Sna4x8: And I'm on an itty bitty EeePC. [02:48] rypervenche: Yea, on chrome it's perfect. [02:48] Sna4x8, your also not giving solid evidence so it is a opinion, use what you like otherwise this is a offtopic conversation. [02:48] wonder1: 800x600 is the highest resolution available. [02:49] does cd burn speed count? [02:49] wonder1, sounds like your missing a graphic driver. [02:49] newbie_: yes, it does. burn at lower speed possible [02:49] urlin2u: I would prefer FireFox. I like firebug. I'm not sure what kind of evidence to provide. I'm looking for a way to get firefox working better. [02:49] and check md5 before burning [02:49] urlin2u: How do I know / how can I fix ? [02:50] Sna4x8, did you develop that slideshow? [02:50] newbie_: forget that md5 part if you used bittorrent :p [02:50] Yes. [02:50] ok [02:50] wonder1, is it a netbook? [02:50] Does anyone know why I cannot detect blank DVDs? I can detect a CD that has data on it. (and yes, it is a DVD drive) [02:50] newbie_: oh and dont upload stuff while you burn Ubuntu, it helps [02:50] any nice application to play hacker in ubuntu? [02:51] dimas_: bash [02:51] ok. [02:51] neiz: Why? Something not working?=p [02:51] somsip: lol :D [02:51] urlin2u: No, it's a desktop computer ~6 yrs old. [02:51] somsip tell me about it [02:51] Anyone? [02:51] Sna4x8: try #firefox [02:51] Sna4x8, FF loaded it for me in about 2 seconds. Also, using margin-left:-420px and similar cause some issues and should use floats and proper ways to position, which would load faster [02:51] thanks. [02:51] wonder1, in the terminal lspci | grep VGA will identify the card/chip [02:51] !anyone | mukti [02:51] dimas_: man bash [02:51] mukti: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [02:52] newbie_, no probs [02:52] dimas_: he means "the terminal" :P [02:52] urlin2u: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev b2) [02:52] Does anyone know why 10.04 wouldn't be recognizing blank DVDs? [02:52] neiz: http://webdev.americasmart.com/ <-- that one has a bit different style for the positioning. [02:53] wonder1, look in additional drivers in the menu to see if any are available [02:53] neiz: I wasn't talking the load time (the image preloading). I'm talking the image slider when you click the arrows next to the flowers. It's a half-second animation. [02:53] Where would a dvd drive be located in the filesystem? [02:53] urlin2u: "Experimental 3D support for NVIDIA cards" is "activated and currently in use" [02:54] mukti: /media/ [02:54] mukti: the content I mean.. the drive at /dev/ [02:55] anon, would it be listed as "dvd" (light blue)? [02:55] wonder1, cool I see on the web with a quick look that, that card may have some problems, I think the original file mod is probably the answer; just getting help is needed. I'm not real familiar here. [02:55] Sna4x8, so much JS, Ajax, etc, simplicity = fast [02:56] anon, would it be listed as "dvd" (light blue)??? [02:56] mukti: I see that too but I don't think so [02:56] mukti: do you want to access the DVD contents [02:57] anon, I want to burn ISOs that I have on my computer to DVDs, but the blank discs aren't being recognized... [02:57] anon but what can i do if i have an ip and cant even ping it?...even i know the computer is on and connected to the internet? [02:57] <|Slacker|> dimas_: firewall?

Ubuntu doesn't give much feedback during install! [04:22] needhelp1, /etc/hostname contains the hostname. /etc/hosts maps the local ip addresses to the hostname.

[05:18] urlin2u: then why tell people "you're using all your RAM" when clearly that may very well NOT be the case? [05:18] mnemoc, may very well NOT be the case? hmmmm look at what they are using. [05:18] urlin2u: if 0 swap is used, there is no problem with free memory amounts. [05:18] zykotick9, i don't understand plz help me [05:19] Sooo... I was AFK (party tomorrow). What should I try? [05:19] I have a fresh install over here and flash based video/games are real choppy and slow, I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras so any advice? [05:19] Grazie Lasers [05:19] gaurav_natty, are you using Wubi (the Ubuntu install inside windows)? [05:19] mnemoc, okay then feel free to help them. ;-) [05:19] mneptok, okay then feel free to help them. ;-) [05:20] urlin2u: i would, if there was any real data other than "my system is slow. help!"

[05:22] Anyone have any advice on this flash issue? [05:23] JoeR2: are you running the x86-64 kernel? [05:23] zykotick9, no it not always get slow only when i boot and get dam slow for 3 to 4 hours after that it not get fast but works fine [05:24] no, I'm on 32 [05:25] mneptok - No this is x86 32 bit [05:25] JoeR2: Flash on Linux is a known problem. it's nothing Adobe can fix easily, as a ton the the Flash base code is in x86-ASM. the only real answer is "we should all hope Flash dies a swift death." sorry not to have better news. [05:26] gaurav_natty, do you have some way of seeing your CPU usage, when it's slow? From a command line you can use "top" to see a list of what's using your CPU. If something is using a lot of CPU, and you can tell us what it is, perhaps someone could help. [05:26] then why did it matter if it was 32 or 64 bit? [05:26] zykotick9, ya i will try now [05:27] ... I get Try and Install as my options. Can I check the media while running in the temporary environment? [05:27] Does flashplugin-nonfree on 64bit Ubuntu install the 64bit version of flash now? [05:27] ok, so i have a high res laptop screen and a low res projector and i'd like to clone the laptop screen to the projector by scaling it down to the resolution of the projector. Failing that, I'm fine with having the laptop screen resolution drop to the projector resolution, but it needs to be easy to switch (my mother needs to be able to do it). [05:28] zykotick9, desktopcouch-se this application is using full memory now [05:28] gaurav_natty, most likely that's being used by gwibber - is it open? do you use it?

They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. How to solve this? [05:29] gaurav_natty, well, if you quit gwibber does your system speed up? [05:29] JoeR2: because Ubuntu does not ship the 64-bit Flash beta, but instead has 64-bit users use nspluginwrapper to shim the 32-bit version into the 64-bit environment. this further degrades performance, and can be fixed (somewhat) by installing a native 64-bit plugin. [05:29] ya its really getting on speed [05:29] zykotick9, now its working fine is that problem with gwibber === fr0sted is now known as fr0sted-bnc [05:30] gaurav_natty, perhaps? You tell me. [05:30] Jschall, the laptop and projector will always be the same res in clone mode, but you could buy a scan converter for about $30 that will drop 1024x768 down to 800x600 or 640x480. [05:30] zykotick9, my screenshot functionality is not working [05:30] JoeR2, i've found this page to help alot with flash issues: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_Plugins#Configuration [05:30] make that file and it should help [05:31] gaurav_natty, if you run this what is the answer sysctl vm.swappiness [05:31] gaurav_natty, screenshot? is this somehow related?

[06:12] tsimpson, i need to rebuild the netboot bit [06:12] anon, checked [06:13] hey [06:13] I just accidently deleted something with a root nautilus [06:13] and it was put in place by running apt-get install linux-source [06:13] I want to put it back [06:14] it's just the /usr/src/linux-source-$(uname -r) [06:14] zykotick9: im thinking of buying a DVB usb stick and use it with Me TV [06:14] zambaboo: you probably want to look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization then [06:15] anon, i had a Hauppauge 1600 which did ATSC, I can't imagine HD working will over USB though... But I have no experience with DVB. Best of luck. [06:15] tsimpson, i looked at them. i need to rebuild the damn thing to include a newer kernel and a very specific list of modules. [06:15] anon, s/will/well/ [06:15] zykotick9: just need one that supports mpeg4 h.264 [06:15] and compatible with ubuntu [06:16] the most important [06:16] zambaboo: so? just put the newer kernel etc on the CD [06:17] tsimpson, what about the modules, i need a specifically limited list [06:17] basically i need to regenerate the initrd.gz with a limited listed of modules, for the netboot. [06:18] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/debian-installer/master/view/head:/build/README [06:18] zykotick9: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices [06:19] there. As a shortcut, you can create a mini-ISO image, with only the netboot initrd on it. [06:19] hey, I deleted a folder from /usr/src [06:19] and I want to put it back [06:19] it's a linux-source folder [06:20] how can i create a user where their home directory is a folder inside mine [06:20] download successful. md5 verified. :) [06:20] Hello, can you give me the command, that lists the name and seriel number of my W-LAN device (and not thousends of other lines)? [06:20] zambaboo: that's controlled from /etc/modules and /etc/initramfs-tools/modules iirc [06:20] ive created the account, but when i log in via another tty it open into the / and i cant cd into that folder [06:20] newbie_, cool [06:21] anyone can help me my printscreen is not working in ubuntu 11.04 [06:21] don-i, check your user settings [06:21] tsimpson, thats for building with mkinitramfs. the resulting image does not contain the installer bits. [06:21] newbie_: it took just a "few" hours [06:21] lol [06:22] does anyone here no how to build srpm on the ubuntu platform [06:22] skraps, why.... [06:22] am downloading the manual now. [06:22] How can I determine what section a certain program belongs to? For example, what package belongs the package »sudoku« to? [06:23] stefan_, you could try "lspci -nn|grep -i network" if it's PCI [06:23] ot: do u know a specific website to find firmware updates for a device. i cant find it in official website [06:23] zykotick9, that's it [06:24] skraps, not really the best idea to mix packages from different distros, but check out if alien supports it somehow [06:24] How can I determine what section a certain package belongs to? For example, what section belongs the package »sudoku« to? [06:24] linuxuz3r, i got it work, at least while loggin into the machine. I changed the owner of the file and that ended up working..i can always sudo into it when i need..that actually works even better [06:24] linuxuz3r, thanks [06:24] skraps, best tell us why you're doing it so we can tell you where you're going wrong. [06:24] zykotick9, any help regarding my printscreen problem [06:25] don-i, no problema [06:25] gaurav_natty, nope, sorry [06:25] I have a src rpm from a older package, I replaced the tar.gz file, and modifed the spec file to match. Now I don't know what todo to turn it into a SRPM so I can try to build it into a RPM [06:26] skraps, but _why_ are you doing this? [06:26] anyone know where i can get glibc ? im trying to compile vsftpd, since the ubuntu repos dont have the recent version...but i get an error saying it cant find reference to crypt, which when i checked online was part of glibc or libcrypt, but i cant find where to get those libs [06:26] skraps, try checkinstall [06:27] hello [06:27] help [06:27] quit [06:27] bye [06:27] quit [06:27] My friend wants it done for his server, and I think it would be a good thing to know because RPM is a standard for redhat based systems [06:27] ? [06:27] linuxuz3r, checkinstall is for DEBs no RPMs [06:27] s/no/not/ [06:27] i use ubuntu, but his server is centos, === Mud is now known as Guest88841 [06:28] http://www.asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ [06:28] skraps, try that [06:28] skraps, a. you have _no_ idea what you're in for, take it from an rhca, b. dont build rpms on a .deb based system [06:28] linuxuz3r, oh, guess i was wrong, sorry. [06:28] In many commands you use the double-dash symbol -- ...I would like to read more about it but I can't find where to read about it. The reason is I don't understand why it's used. [06:29] Does irsend work with kernel 2.6.38-10-generic anda mceusb transciever? I cant get it working it was fine in lucid [06:29] skraps, if anything, get on a redhat box an try rpmerizor [06:30] im back [06:30] zambaboo: ty [06:30] yw. really man. rpm is complex as it is. do NOT do this on a debian derivative. [06:31] marlun: -- is used if the option name is more than one letter. So you might have "foo --bar" and "foo -b". It's done that way because single-dash options can have arguments as so: "foo -bar" where -b is the option and 'ar' is the argument to it. [06:32] marlun: (so without the --, -bar is ambiguous between a multi-character option named bar and a single-character option with an argument) [06:34] rww: Yes but sometimes it is used by itself like "foo --bar -- bar" as if it is some kinds of seperator. [06:34] hey guys [06:35] marlun: In that sense, it means that everything following is an argument, not an option. [06:35] marlun: even if it begins with - [06:36] rww: ah, that makes sense, thanks! [06:36] don-i, I think you should install the "libcrypt-dev" package [06:37] does ubuntu use /etc/network/interfaces for configuring the network? [06:37] or is there some other fancy way of doing it? [06:37] k-man: by default, it uses NetworkManager. If you don't have NetworkManager running, you can use /etc/network/interfaces [06:37] rww, ah, I see, thanks [06:38] skraps, checkinstall is a program that monitors an installation procedure (such [06:38] as make install, install.sh ), and creates a standard package for your [06:38] distribution (currently deb, rpm and tgz packages are supported) that [06:38] you can install through your distribution's package management system [06:38] (dpkg, rpm or installpkg). [06:38] linuxuz3r: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:38] sorry [06:39] glebihan, ill try it now, thanks [06:40] don-i, let me know how it goes [06:40] glebihan, building now :) lets see [06:40] glebihan, nope :( [06:40] don-i, same error ? [06:40] sysdeputil.c:(.text+0xf7): undefined reference to `crypt' [06:41] i downloaded libxcrypt-dev [06:41] maybe libcrypto++ -dev ? [06:42] !enter | don-i [06:42] don-i: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:43] don-i, try the "libc6" package [06:44] glebihan, i already have it...libc6 and libc6-dev [06:44] I can't use Ubuntu Software Center to install anything new - it says there is a problem with aptdaemon. I have reported the problem but how do I fix it? [06:44] I want to install wine. [06:47] mintie, what happens if you run sudo apt-get update in the terminal? [06:47] don-i, where did you download the source for vsftpd from ? [06:47] https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd.html#download [06:48] urlin2u, it is updating. Cheers :P [06:48] mintie, then run the upgrade [06:48] back again; anyone want to recommend me their favourite open-source rts game?... the one i found was :( [06:49] hi there, can someone maybe inform about the difference between the desktop and the server kernel? [06:50] !repeat [06:50] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:50] does anyone know the official IRC support server of Linux Mint? I need it for my laptop [06:51] Kamikaze: try http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/12 [06:51] Kamikaze: look for section "B3" [06:51] thanks let me try it ) [06:51] :) [06:52] glebihan, any thoughts ? [06:52] urlin2u, i thought the update would work but aptd keeps crashing [06:53] don-i, no, I think you should contact the author to report the problem (as suggested in the INSTALL file) [06:53] mintie, can you pastebin the errors? [06:53] glebihan, ya i guess thats what I'll have to do [06:53] glebihan, thanks for your help [06:53] don-i, you're welcome, sorry I couldn't be more useful [06:54] any good rts games for ubuntu? [06:54] hello ubuntuers :) [06:54] glebihan, you were. its not me..its them :) thanks again [06:54] LOL, um what's the default password? [06:55] hey a question... [06:55] urlin2u, http://paste.ubuntu.com/669803/ [06:55] im on 10.04 and [06:55] Or username for that matter? [06:56] ProphetZ, IF you mean on the live cd try ubuntu/ubuntu or just ubuntu as user and blank p/w [06:56] when i connect to wifi the icon looks disconnected but its not [06:57] Doh! Too many retries. [06:57] good morning [06:58] ProphetZ, looks like it's ubuntu as user with no password [06:58] can someone tell me how i can update firefox on ubuntu 10.04? [06:59] mintie, first place I would look is synaptic-custom filters-broken packages, not sure if any will be there though [06:59] jigal, https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable?field.series_filter=lucid [06:59] urlin2u, how do I go about doing that? [07:00] I burned a new disc anyway. The last one reported "Errors in 1 files!" but didn't say which during the Media test. [07:00] zykotick9, can't i do it through apt-get [07:00] mintie, go to applications in unity left bar if your using unity type synaptic and follow the trail as I gave [07:00] jigal, yes, once you've added that PPA [07:00] jigal, be aware the PPAs are 3rd party however [07:01] Hi guys. [07:01] If I execute a command that is immediately detached from the terminal, how do I catch the PID of the process into a variable? (e.g.: "pppd call ipaq &") [07:02] I want to catch the PID so I can kill it anytime. [07:02] hmmmmm [07:02] k_sze, can't you search for it? "ps aux | grep pppd" [07:03] Sorry for my repeated disconnects. I'm phoning this in by Yet Another Android IRC while I try to get my old lappy going on Ubuntu. [07:03] zykotick9: that doesn't look very script-friendly. :/ [07:03] zykotick9, ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable is the correct ppa [07:03] zykotick9, i added the ppa in my terminal [07:03] k_sze, script friendly, no. Sorry [07:03] how do i update? [07:03] I have a default ubuntu 11.04 installation, wonder how i could change soundlevel from the commandline? [07:04] Sitting on filesystem. squashfs... this and wubi took the longest last time. [07:04] ps aux | grep i[p]aq | awk '{print $2}' [07:04] zykotick9: and it's not safe if there are more processes from the same executable file already running. [07:04] urlin2u, is that a question or statement? that is the link i sent to jigal [07:04] zykotick9, I guess thats what you put I think, sorry [07:04] No errors found! Restarting... :D [07:04] that will give you the PID [07:05] zykotick9, i succeeded to add the ppa. now how can i upgrade? [07:05] jigal, "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install firefox" should work [07:06] Yarg! Why is the screen off? Not just blank, off... [07:06] Hey [07:06] zykotick9, they changed the ppa overnight I hadn't realized that. [07:06] hey, where is the httpd error log [07:06] K-Rich: that still does not guarantee that I'm getting the PID of the correct instance though, if there are multiple instances of the executable running, no? [07:07] k_sze, hmmmm not sure with multiple instances [07:07] i got a little problem, got some ubuntu 10.04 server running openntpd, on reboot however openntpd doesnt start. [07:07] It's stuck with the screen off... [07:07] Aha! [07:07] How do I change nautilus's background colour so in root it's green instead of red? [07:07] Sloooowwwwww old laptop. [07:08] thats due to the server not bringing up the interface fast enugh, i wonder if this is a common problem? [07:08] is there anyway to reset my ubuntu password without knowing what the current password is? [07:08] !password [07:08] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [07:08] K-Rich: seeing as how the PID is immediately printed to the terminal when I launch a detached process, there must be a way to catch it. :/ [07:08] anyone here familiar with gpg ? [07:09] don-i: best to ask your actual question and see [07:09] Nice bot in here... I shouldn't be surprised. [07:09] that's all it takes to reset your p/w? what the heck is the point in having one? [07:10] im looking at the vsftpd site, and there are 2 files, the main source in a .tar.gz and a .asc text file. It says to verify the signature to ensure authenticity [07:10] Ive been reading this site http://www.bigpointyteeth.se/docs/vsftpd-openbsd-HOWTO.html and they go over how to verify signatures, but what good does that really do ? [07:10] don-i: none, if you don't have a reason to trust the keys creating the signatures [07:10] Kernel 3, released? [07:10] don-i, may I ask why you don't just use the vsftp in ubuntu's repository? [07:11] another quick question. is there a maximum length password? [07:11] K-Rich: looks like there's a built-in variable for that: $! [07:11] somehow i changed my p/w last night. i wrote it down and even copy pasted it into ubuntu. but now, it no worky. [07:11] rww, but to ensure that the source is authenticate and 'trustworthy' why verify another file ? shouldnt there be a way to test the source to make sure it hasnt been tampered with ? [07:11] gneral, a while ago 3.0.3 is out [07:12] zykotick9, its not update to date. [07:12] amh345 I never saw the point of OS passwords anyway. If an intruder has local access, you're already doomed. [07:12] don-i, that's NOT a real reason. best of luck. [07:12] amh345: no computer is safe when you have unlimited physical access to it.. (or perhaps very few computers) [07:13] zykotick9, though im using it now, i cant build the latest because im missing some libs. lol..thanks [07:13] is there a way to change root password while im logged in. because im currently logged in at the moment via vnc. for some reason my old pw worked with vnc. but not when authenticating in updates sudo/etc/ [07:13] amh345, CAPS? [07:13] Fn key... [07:13] amh345, did you change your hostname? [07:13] ProphetZ: no caps. ive even typed it in a txt editor. [07:13] Hi, I have a problem with ubuntu 11.04 btrfs installation, with btrfs root install now ubuntu boot process reached 80sec+, I read some bug report but could not find any solution. Any suggestion about this bug? [07:13] don-i: foo.asc contains a detached signature of foo.tar.gz. During the signature verification process, gpg looks at the .asc file, the source tarball, and the relevant keys, and makes sure everything matches up. You thus get an assurance that the source tarball has not been modified since the key signed it, but not an assurance that the key that signed it is the actual developer. That's why the web of trust exists. [07:13] no, no hostname change. i cant figure this out. [07:14] somehow i set a new password and confirmed it when it was wrong? wtd [07:14] OK! I'm at (a very slow) Ubuntu desktop. How do I make the empty partition on my USB hard disk drive bootable? [07:15] rww, ah, i see, i didnt realize it checks the source as well. I just moved the source tar to another directory, and gpg couldnt verify. THAT makes sense now. thanks :) [07:16] I hope this isn't a stupid question, I've been through it several times and failed several different ways. [07:17] Frozen? No mouse movement... [07:17] It was working for a moment. [07:18] does remoting in via vnc use the same password as my account? [07:18] Hi guys.. Anyone know if compiz effects work on ubuntu 11.4 from VM? [07:19] Cuz Im testing and trying to find out if it's working [07:20] Yarg I hate the creepy screen off activity. It keeps freezing here and I never know how long to wait. [07:21] I selected Install Ubuntu from the startup screen this time... [07:22] Any way to see what it's doing right now? (Screen off, HDD and CD activity) [07:22] ProphetZ, did you install to the usb external? [07:23] hi, I ve been given an ip:port to connect to the internet over a lan , where do i put that in? [07:23] Aha! Here we go, no location choices yet urlin2u, I always get to Install and then it hangs with no messages onscreen. [07:23] But now I have a new disc. :D [07:24] ProphetZ, wasn't your ram low I don't reneber everybodies posts. [07:24] chicori: in the proxy settings [07:24] remember* [07:24] olteirc.net [07:24] 256mb. Yes very small, but system was using only 24 MB earlier. [07:25] if you don't like unity, can u be rid of it easily? [07:25] ProphetZ, what is the disc which distro? [07:25] Morgz: you can swap it to kde/xfce something like that [07:25] Ubuntu 10.04 [07:26] ProphetZ, is it the alternative disc that is probably just to little ram. [07:26] ikonia, where are the proxy settings in ubuntu? [07:26] if I use alien to install the mysql server 5.5 RPMs into Ubuntu 11.04, will anything break? will I be able to upgrade when ubuntu finally gets mysql 5.5? [07:26] amh345, i believe its a seperate pass, when i vnc into my machine i use a different password [07:26] ProphetZ: 256 mb is definitely not enough ram for the desktop live cd [07:26] chicori: I actually don't know in unity, [07:26] ikonia, using gnome [07:27] got it anyway, thanks [07:27] amh345, to change root password, i believe its sudo passwd [07:27] herkupus, it says it is... [07:27] herkupus: why not? hah [07:27] sudo passwd is asking me for a password :( [07:27] ProphetZ, low ram and external HD is a lot to overcome really. [07:27] amh345, are you an admin on machine ? [07:27] ProphetZ: "it"? [07:27] herkupus: I have booted linux with a GUI on 128MB ram. just use swap. (don't care about speed because its for a dedicated project. :) ) [07:27] fyi: i figured out why ubuntu wasn't saving my desktop resolution settings in xconf. [07:27] amh345, if you are an admin then enter your normal password [07:28] linagee: i am talking about the ubuntu desktop live cd, not any other distro [07:28] amh345: you should not use sudo passwd [07:28] herkupus: specifically.......... ok. :) [07:28] The minimum specifications on the Ubuntu Download page. The alternative didn't actually seem to explain what the differences were, so I went vanilla. [07:29] linagee: and when doing an initial install from the live cd, you don't have swap [07:29] It does have swap. [07:29] herkupus: don't use the desktop CD. use the server one. easy enough to turn on swap and then convert a server install to a desktop one. [07:29] the alternative install is a better option than the server one [07:29] changing the res by going 'system - preferences - monitors' will override x11 [07:30] I can hear it swapping and it says 1058mb of free "unallocated" space on the Windows drive for swapping. [07:30] this is madness. i tossed my only keyboard on the machine.. and the keyboard is glitchy. hah [07:30] linagee: i know the server and alternate cd use fewer ram. [07:31] Found the bad key, amh345? [07:31] ProphetZ: nah. i dont know what the hell is going on :) [07:31] If this doesn't work I will try alternative next. [07:31] linagee: i do net install by default (mini.iso) [07:31] ProphetZ: a better question in, why so little ram? time to upgrade. :) [07:31] s/in/is/ [07:31] I've just discovered that my monitor should be able to display 1280x1024, but that option doesn't appear in the System Settings/Hardware/Monitors list of resolutions. How do I add it? [07:32] I clicked English, now I've had a spinning wheel of death for about two minutes. Why wouldn't it warn of low memory? [07:32] you mean like all the other modern OS do? [07:32] ProphetZ: because it's slow due to low memeory, not fatal [07:32] It's a very old computer. I don't like to throw them out when nothing's broken. [07:33] ProphetZ: if its an old computer, use a non-GUI linux install. it should work just fine. [07:33] or use alternate and install a low-weight window manager [07:33] what DE are you using on this old computer? please dont say gnome or kde? [07:33] xfce or even lxde are great desktop environments for older hardware [07:34] hello [07:34] gratz on the user name ^^ [07:34] xfce 4.x is bloated too. i'd go for fluxbox or icewm. [07:34] zagibu: windows admin: "if it doesn't have a Next->Next->Next on the installer, how do I install it?" heh [07:34] really? havent tried xfce for a long time...sorry to hear that herkupus :( [07:35] billybigrigger: it's fine, not bloated at all [07:35] billybigrigger: people scream bloat for no reason. [07:35] LOL, well it ran XP Home just fine until Flash 10.3 and SP3 etc. I've got Tiny XP but I thought I'd go with a "legit" solution, since this PC is the sacrificial calf of our living room. [07:35] prodriver, oh you'll be fine running xfce on it if you can run XP [07:35] ProphetZ: at some point you have to accept that your hardware is not good enough to deal with modern computing needs, that is "broke" even if the hardware activly runs [07:36] you could apply the "legit" in more ways then one if you ask me [07:36] seriously give either xfce or lxde a try, that is if your afraid of the command line, and NEED a gui [07:36] so my only way to reset this pw is too reboot and go through the info on that link? [07:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [07:36] that link [07:36] amh345: what password have you lost [07:36] ikonia: i believe root [07:36] amh345: root has no password [07:36] ikonia: by default. :P [07:36] ProphetZ, modern computers have much bigger wires, so they can fit the modern, larger electrons. In the older, smaller-wired computers, those electrons often get stuck, which is why they run so slowly. [07:36] linagee: It DOES have a Next Next Next, trouble is, it never finishes. I'd much rather have some feedback on screen so I know what's happening. [07:37] yeah. i set a root pw [07:37] etfb: please don't misslead people [07:37] ProphetZ: switch to a console and see if there are kernel errors spewing out [07:37] I only chose Ubuntu because it ran so well on my other (less) old laptop. [07:37] ikonia: I only mislead very very stupid people. [07:37] amh345: then you need to recover it from the recovery shell, however you should not set the root password if you don't know what you're doing, there is no reason to set it [07:37] etfb: don't try to mislead anyone please. [07:38] amh345: I am not saying you should set one. just saying that it just happens to be set up that way. :) [07:38] hush, ikonia. [07:38] ikonia: i cant figure out how this messed up. i had my old password working fine last night. then i updated and confirmed(no less) a pw i dont know [07:38] is there a char limit to passwords? [07:38] Running on 10.10 and cannot upgrade to 11.04 due to graphic issues. Any help more than welcome [07:39] yeah, this thing keeps asking me for a pw from my keyring. none of the pws are working [07:39] amh345: you need to boot from the recovery option and just do "passwd root" from the recovery shell [07:39] ikonia, no way. I am never going to stop using my 8088XT. It's the perfect PC! [07:39] amh345: that will allow you to reset your root password [07:39] ProphetZ: ok - then please stop complaining about it [07:40] anyone noticing issues using ftp to security.ubuntu.com [07:40] I wonder if I can get an X server running on my old Tandy 1000EX. :) [07:40] used to work, now it seems to be broken [07:40] I think it only had like 1MB of memory or something. I'd probably be lucky to get a linux CLI working. :) [07:41] ProphetZ: 8088 is the perfect pc? what do you do with it? [07:42] Any help with upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10 without having to rebuild everything is more than welcome :-) [07:42] LOL, ikonia, my 8088XT has no Video Graphics Adapter and runs about 12mhz. I only use it for retro decor. [07:42] is it possible to reduce the time in grub to pick OS from 10 sec to 1 sec somehow? [07:42] miikael: surething, it's the timeout value in the grub.conf [07:42] ProphetZ: door stop [07:42] Dogget, to upgrade, simply run 'update-manager -d' either in the run dialog or in a command line [07:42] ikonia: its located in /etc/? [07:42] ProphetZ: this is a support channel, we can try to help you with issues, [07:42] billybigrigger: no ! [07:42] billybigrigger: -d is "development" upgrade [07:43] I am trying to install j2eesdk-1_4_03-linux.bin and getting error error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [07:43] ikonia, hah, shite i need to blink here a few times, i read 11.10 [07:43] ikonia: I think you don't mess with grub.conf in the latest version of things (grub2). you are supposed to mess with some other file that creates a grub.conf. (argh. I really don't like that.) [07:43] billybigrigger: control the language [07:43] huh, why does a java lib need c stuff? [07:43] Dogget, yeah don't do what i told you there, i completely MISREAD your question [07:43] linagee: correct, in /etc/grub [07:44] ikonia: that's it [07:44] linagee: however that is the value you need to change in those files and run update-grub [07:44] ikonia, my bad :P [07:44] ikonia: it pisses me off though. first learn the syntax of grub.conf, next they change it to be built from somewhere else. argh. [07:44] @billy it's ok dude :-) [07:44] ikonia: i cannot locate "grub.conf" where is the file supposed to be? [07:44] I can explain my issue if you wish [07:44] !grub2 > miikael [07:44] miikael, please see my private message [07:44] Jeez, Linux always reminds me of the gaps between users and admins and developers. Although in this case my main complaint is that I can't see what's going on. [07:44] Dogget, go right ahead, no one can help you out if they don't know your trouble [07:45] Ok sure. [07:45] ProphetZ: it's just slow because your machine is so poor spec [07:45] I was going to set up TinyMe, but that froze during Install too. [07:45] ikonia: its like learn the format of XF86Config and then they just change that to some sort of autodetect magic as well. hah [07:45] ProphetZ: you may have a hardware error too, [07:45] can anyone advise me where i report the fact that ftp is broken on security.ubuntu.com [07:45] ? === dave is now known as Guest59570 [07:46] da4an1qu1, no it's just you [07:47] da4an1qu1, 230 Login successful. [07:47] da4an1qu1, you know your supposed to login anonymously right? [07:47] yep, but you can't pull down a dir list [07:47] OK well I should probably join (poundsign)sleep soon. It'll be at the same spinning wheel of death when I get up tomorrow... [07:47] da4an1qu1, well you didn't say that, i see that now [07:48] ikonia: all the diffrent grub files confuse me, which one should i edit to reduce the timeout? [07:48] aha. cheers. sorry, yep i should have mentioned [07:48] Well I used to have an 4850 ATi card which has now been replaced by a 6850. With the old 4850 I can install 11.04. If I try using the 6850 I can't get past the "install ubuntu" option then the screens blanks out and the pc hangs there, waiting for me to reboot it. Even if I manage to install 11.04 using the 4850 and then replace it with the 6850 I get the same blank screen and the pc hangs. [07:48] miikael: did you read the url ubottu sent you [07:48] Dogget: how do you know the PC hangs ? [07:49] Hi what is up with security.ubuntu.com? Is it offline? [07:49] da4an1qu1, even in passive mode there is no dir list [07:49] I feel like Deckcard running after Roy Batty! [07:49] da4an1qu1, file a bug i guess? [07:49] Hey I have both those cards. I just unpacked them. An nVidia 6800 too. [07:49] Because it stays there, doesn't do anything... [07:49] ikonia: yeah but to be honest i didnt understand much of it [07:49] da4an1qu1, or better yet contact the admin [07:49] Dogget: that's not a hang [07:49] Nothing happens [07:49] Dogget: that's a blank screen [07:49] billybigrigger, how do i do that? [07:49] Yes sir, I mentioned that, the screen blanks out [07:50] billybigbrigger, I mean how do i contact the admin? [07:50] I cannot do or see anything, hence me rebooting it [07:50] Dogget: yes, but it's not a hang - don't tell people it's a hang as that will confuse the issue [07:50] da4an1qu1: sorting it now [07:50] ok ok I mean no harm! [07:51] da4an1qu1, send a line to security AT ubuntu DOT COM [07:51] thank you billybigrigger and ikonia [07:51] miikael, you trying to change the grub time out? [07:51] I thought it was hanging too: couldn't get a console, nothing. Just screen totally off and hard drive buzzing away. [07:52] I have the latest ati drivers running for my 6850 on 10.10, all is fine if that helps. [07:52] urlin2u: yeah to 1 sec [07:52] Well, old harddrive have trouble storing the larger electrons. They have much more mass, and slow the spin down, and sometimes even fall off... [07:52] sorry guys, what's the difference between KDE and Gnome ? [07:52] Gnome is better ;P [07:52] I went the wubi route, cd boot route, upgrade toute, same issue all the way. [07:52] miikael, gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub change the grub time out [07:53] I pressed down, nada. Enter, seemingly nada, then eventually a console showed up and it finished booting into setup. [07:53] Kamikaze: they are two different desktop environements [07:53] miikael, looks like this GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 [07:53] that means, how windows look, and what kind of preinstalled programs you have will be different [07:53] Kamikaze, check out their respective websites and make the choice for yourself, don't start that topic in here :) [07:54] urlin2u: found it, thank you so much :) is it also possible to set a wallpaper as background? :) [07:54] miikael, not sure there. [07:54] note that most programs run in both gnome or kde, so it's more a choice of taste, than of functionality === boss is now known as Guest95048 [07:54] hello [07:55] miikael, also run sudo update-grub when you close that editsaved [07:55] alright [07:55] hello eny body there [07:55] Guest95048: many people [07:55] mmmmmmmm [07:56] but there is no one say hi for me [07:56] Guest95048: it's a busy channel for support discussion [07:56] Dogget, mine spent about fifteen minutes on a black screen. (2.2ghz Celeron with only 256mb of RAM, I know it should be shot, but it was playing YouTube and Game Of Thrones last week and only Windows kludginess is making me want to try Linux on it. [07:56] Guest95048: if you need support, just ask a question about ubuntu [07:56] ok [07:57] thank you [07:57] ) [07:57] Well I am running a quad core CPU, 4 gig of ram and running a 6850 so it shouldn't be the problem there Prophet :-) [07:57] the spec of your machine doesn't change your video cards compatability [07:57] ProphetZ, if you bumped the ram up you would have no problems, would max it out. [07:57] I want to upgrade my pc and not whether to buy a new cpu or SSD, which would you recommend? [07:57] I think it is down to the graphics not being recognized properly somehow on 11.04 [07:57] I8 [07:58] But I do wonder if sitting on the creepy black screen is pretty typical during install. [07:58] pedro_, depends what you use the machine for [07:58] Dogget: yes, some ati and nvidia cards have problems and either don't work or require specific boot options [07:58] in my computer the sound in unconnect in some time [07:58] It's starnge because it works perfectly on 10.10 [07:58] Dogget: not really, versions change [07:58] definately SSD [07:58] billybigrigger: i use it for internet, games, documents [07:58] even before installing the Ati drivers, I can still install and launch ubuntu [07:59] and i most restart to fix proplem [07:59] pedro_, well what cpu do you have now? [07:59] intel E7500 [07:59] hello my friends [07:59] go with the SSD, you won't regret it [07:59] semprone [07:59] i need some help [07:59] pedro_, i'd probably go with a SSD then [07:59] amd [07:59] a newer CPU will not help much at all [07:59] an SSD will make a world of difference [07:59] zagibu, if he's running a celeron it would [07:59] The only thing that I could try is use the alternate cd, without any graphical install to start with [08:00] billybigrigger: if i knew where to read about them i would :) [08:00] for internet and documents? [08:00] But man oh man, I don't want to lose my settings and all I have done in 10.10 [08:00] Dogget: that is one of the resolutions for the cards that have problems === sena is now known as senayar [08:00] LOL, not putting an SSD in an eight (ten?) year old laptop. I've got four other machines sitting around, I just don't have an XP disk anymore so I was going to try Ubuntu. [08:00] had thought about buying a intel core 2 quad Q8400 [08:00] Dogget: are you trying to upgrade or install [08:00] zagibu: which one you would suggest Sr? which es prettier ? [08:00] when im tryng to install-uninstall programs i get the error messege tht says You have failed to provide correct authentication. [08:00] Please check any passwords or account settings. [08:00] As I explained earlier, I have tried, wubi install, cd boot install and upgrade [08:01] pedro_, i would personally upgrade the cpu first, then do the SSD later, when they are cheaper [08:01] prettier? an SSD is an internal device that you'll never see after having installed [08:01] Dogget: ok - so are you suggesting a re-install ? [08:01] pedro_: you may want to take your hardware discussion to the channel ##hardware [08:01] read some reviews on arstechnica and anandtech to make a choice [08:01] Dude I really don't want to unless there is something else someone can recommend [08:01] Dogget: a re-install won't change anything if your card is a problem [08:02] billybigrigger: yeah, ssd its so expensive now [08:02] hey... after installing ubuntu, grub took over the boot menu. can I return the windows one? [08:02] pedro_: please take this discussion to ##hardware [08:02] What about the alternate install based on graphics and skipping it until I grab the drivers? [08:02] ikonia: k [08:02] based on text sorry [08:02] Dogget: it will still end up with a black screen on first boot [08:02] OK I'm restarting an trying a lighter distro. Ubuntu alternative, TinyMe, Damn Small Linux? What should I use? [08:02] ace__, you have a windows disc? [08:03] pedro_, i still have a 9800gtx in my machine and still have old seagate platter hdd's, gaming is fine on my computer, you'll notice a difference with a quad core, wait for SSD's to lower in price [08:03] ProphetZ: ask in ##linux [08:03] Not sure what to do really [08:03] billybigrigger: stop the hardware discussion please. [08:03] Dogget: there are bugs on launchpad.net that explain some of the problems with cards, work arounds and limitations [08:03] 10-4 rubber ducky, im off to sleep anywho, seems like you have yourself a handful in here ikonia :P [08:04] yes, I do [08:04] urlin2u: I have a disc [08:04] ace__, okay windows wont boot ubuntu you will need like easybcd. [08:04] OK, ikonia. [08:04] Not sure where to look at Ikonia [08:05] urlin2u: I already have that installed as well [08:05] billybigrigger: i have Nvidia GTS 450, and games its a bit slow for me [08:05] Dogget: search for bugs regarding your card on 11.04 [08:05] ace__, which windows release [08:05] Hey th0r. [08:05] hehe [08:05] urlin2u: windows 7 ultimate [08:06] ace__, boot the windows disc to the repair terminal and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr [08:07] urlin2u: ok, thanks [08:07] ace__, no problem. [08:07] Anybody running an 6850 ati and having issues running 11.04? [08:08] Dogget: did you look for the bugs as I told you ? [08:09] Which ones? [08:09] ace__, next time just install the bootloader grub to ubuntu, at the something else gui for where you want it. [08:09] Dogget: the ones I just told you to search for a few minutes ago [08:09] Well I am looking into that right now [08:09] Hello everyone. I'm playing a game, and i want to play it in windowed-mode (so i can switch between virtual workspaces), but have the game take the maximum available space. [08:09] Dogget: ok, so doing that before asking for help seems sensible [08:10] Sometimes i manage to put the window's area ABOVE the unity(3d) topbar [08:10] other times that doesn't work. [08:10] (I'm running natty / 11.04) [08:12] DThought, double clicking a window top panel makes it look as if it is on top [08:12] Well I asked for help because I am not aware of certain things, I am trying my way around Linux and encountering issues, it seems sensible enough to me. [08:13] Hi, my clementine won't play M4A files, despite me grabbing the gstreamer* plugins. [08:13] does anybody want to help me a little? [08:14] when im tryng to install-uninstall programs i get the error messege tht says You have failed to provide correct authentication. [08:14] Please check any passwords or account settings. [08:14] krise: how are you trying to uninstall programs ? [08:14] via kpackage kit [08:14] krise, can you run a sudo apt-get update in a terminal and the password you enter is accepted [08:14] hold on [08:15] yes it works [08:15] krise what is a package that can't be removed? [08:16] krise, and how have you been trying? [08:17] actualy terminal stopped at 99% [08:17] ikonia, missed your same question carry on. ;-) === james is now known as Guest36474 [08:17] i tried to install wine [08:17] it did not install correctly and i tried tu uninstall it [08:18] but than i had this problem [08:18] I'm guessing I need to register to send to ##linux. [08:18] ProphetZ: correct [08:18] terminal finished update, it ok [08:19] krise, try to tab the nic first couple leters the hit tab then they know who your talking to and are informed your answering, shows red . [08:19] mm this morning the download speed for update is low :( [08:20] senayar, you can change the mirror if needed. [08:20] the download is in progress [08:20] urlin2u [08:20] :) [08:20] what? [08:20] krise, col thts it.;---) [08:20] cool [08:21] Hello you lovely people! [08:21] Hello lovely person! [08:21] Hm, haven't used IRC in a while... SASL? [08:21] I have a question about clustering. This is the act of spreading work across connected computers, correct? [08:21] sav_: it can be [08:21] Goodbye, lovely person... [08:22] krise, look in synaptic-custom filters-broken packages for wine. [08:22] I might as well be a grandmother trying to use my DVD remote on my satellite TV here. [08:22] I've never registered using SASL, only old Nickserv and that was a while ago... [08:22] Off to find help files I guess! [08:22] ikonia: And it makes processing time faster and more powerful, yes [08:22] ? [08:22] sav_: it depends on a lot of things. [08:22] urli2u how do i doo that? im newbe [08:22] sav_: do you have a question relevant to ubuntu ? [08:22] krise, you in unity? [08:23] kubuntu 11.04 [08:23] ikonia: My question is about clustering with ubuntu machines. [08:23] ikonia: I have no clue about where to start. [08:23] krise, do you have a panel on the left of the screen? [08:23] sav_: you shouldn't do it [08:23] ikonia: I shouldn't? Why not? [08:23] sav_: because as a home user you will not see any benifits [08:24] urlin2u no i have panels on the bottom and on the left [08:24] ikonia: How can you say that? [08:24] hi [08:24] sav_: because it's the truth [08:24] ikonia: I have two weak computers. I would like to do something that requires a little more processing power than either of them have individually. [08:24] krise, is the left panel hiding and showing periodically? [08:24] ikonia: Clustering would not help me? [08:24] sav_: clustering will not allow that to happen [08:25] urlin2u yes [08:25] Hey guys, does Ubuntu use the same audio player as Kubuntu? Amarok? [08:25] ikonia: Brief explanation? [08:25] yes [08:25] sav_: no [08:25] LINKSWORD2: no [08:25] _kad [fred] gy [08:25] LINKSWORD2: not by default [08:25] Shoot. Are any of you here familiar with Amarok? [08:25] ikonia: Er, long explanation? [08:25] sav_: no [08:25] kde uses amarok by default [08:25] krise, click the applications type insynatic, enter your password look for custom filters click the broken packages and see if wine is there to delete. [08:26] krise, type synaptic [08:26] ikonia: Well, I've never known an ubuntu user to be unhelpful, but I suppose you have no obligation to me. [08:26] ikonia: fair enough [08:26] sav_: I've helped you, I'm not being unhelpful [08:26] sav_: if you don't understand clustering, there is no point going into the details of why it won't work [08:26] you can install amarok in ubuntu without problems [08:27] ikonia: You've said "no" a lot, which doesn't help me understand much [08:27] ikonia: and I asked so I could understand [08:27] sav_: the interenet is full of information that is a good introduction [08:27] sav_: fine ok [08:27] *Head-desk.* lol [08:27] sav_: what application do you want to cluster ?# [08:27] ikonia: I don't know. [08:28] sav_: great start on research [08:28] lol [08:28] sav_: you have home user PC's ? [08:28] Well, since my question seems specific to KDE, I'm going to have to go back to the Kubuntu chat. [08:28] Hi! I have set up remote connections to my Ubuntu server using Xvnc launched via inetd, which opens an xdmcp session. It works fine, but for some reason only one session is allowed at a time. When there's a session open, any requests for new sessions get refused. Could this be a limit imposed by xdmcp somehow? [08:28] ikonia: No need to be snippy. I just thought someone more experienced than I would be better able to give me a good start on the subject [08:28] ikonia: I'll dig deeper, I suppose [08:29] sav_: do you have home user PC's ? [08:29] How do I change nautilus's background colour so in root it's green instead of red? [08:29] ikonia: I'm leaving, thanks anyway. [08:29] newbie question, i just created a user for myself on a ubuntu server, but tab completion doesn't seem to be enabled for that user? how do i enable? [08:29] sav_: fine, you ask for help moan that you don't get details I offer you the details and you're not interested [08:30] richardjprice: are you sure it's not a permission problem? [08:30] hi [08:30] does it not autocomplete things like ls and cd? [08:30] zagibu: i'll investigate [08:30] ikonia: Who's moaning? Like I said, I don't expect you to do anything. And clearly, you're not interested in helping me, and that's perfectly alright. So away I go. [08:30] richardjprice, see if usermod -s /bin/bash fixes it [08:30] zagibu: no, doesn't autocomplete, even in my home dir [08:30] urlin2u can we have remote access ? [08:31] krise, ? [08:31] sav_: I've just offered to help you by starting to explain it [08:31] when i type synapthic it only gives me touch pad manager [08:31] urlin2u when i type synapthic it only gives me touch pad manager [08:32] Hyperbyte: yes that fixed it, thank you for your help [08:32] krise, wrong button it is in the left panel 2nd to bottom button, and synaptic [08:32] richardjprice, be sure to set a correct shell for users you add. /bin/bash is the default [08:33] ikonia: Look, I'm not really interested in being bitched at, period. You've given me plenty of indication that I'm only bothering you, which I'm cool with. So leave it be. [08:33] krise, hover the cursor over the buttons till you see applications [08:33] sav_: fine, if you don't want the help, [08:33] * IEF pokes Fugu [08:33] Hyperbyte: thanks for the advice, will remember for next time [08:33] ikonia: Farewell, goodbye, sayonara. Have a wonderful day. [08:33] hai IEF :) [08:33] sav_, bye. :) [08:34] richardjprice, you're welcome. :) [08:34] don't go sav_ [08:34] savvy sav, I love you, please don't go [08:34] urlin2u i have applications only in K meny, not on the left panel.On the left panel i have only my program buttons i put there [08:35] I've made my moniter as bright as it can be, but it's still fairly dark when playing minecraft. How do I lighten my moniter more, can I do it through ubuntu? [08:35] I'm inviting all for Alchemy logical game the beta testing, unlock the elements one by one, and when you will unlock all , add an unique element http://alchemy.h19.ru/ [08:35] krise, you runnig kde? [08:35] zagibu: * sav_ has quit (Quit: Page closed) [08:35] yes [08:35] NOOOOOOOO [08:35] krise, not familiar with kde [08:36] mang0, see manpage for xrandr. You can change gamma of your display with that probably. [08:36] mang0: I'm not sure, but can you adjust gamma settings in minecraft itself? [08:36] dkd: don't advertise in here, please [08:36] urlin2u i tried to get help in kubuntu chatroom, they sent me here [08:36] Hyperbyte, zagibu I just found out that /light in singleplayer commands makes it lighter. S'all good! [08:36] what a helpful bros there [08:37] hey all! [08:37] you could also use torches, you know :) [08:37] krise, hmmm did they know you were using kde? [08:37] I just installed dwm and xmonad, but when I chose either one from the login screen, then log on, I get an empty screen with nothing but my mouse pointer and the background picture. [08:37] zagibu: I'm doing a puzzle map :P [08:37] My ubuntu is connecting to my wireless and I'm able to SSH into it from my other comp too. But it isn't connecting to the internet. pinging any server times-out. [08:38] urlin2u i think so yes [08:38] Hi! I have set up remote connections to my Ubuntu server using Xvnc launched via inetd, which opens an xdmcp session. It works fine, but for some reason only one session is allowed at a time. When there's a session open, any requests for new sessions get refused. Could this be a limit imposed by xdmcp somehow? [08:38] HashNuke: probably set a wrong gateway [08:38] krise, go back and make sure they do, is my advice. ;-) [08:38] ah let me check [08:39] urlin2u ok thanks for your time [08:39] route should output your router's ip somewhere [08:39] krise, no problem. [08:39] Hey guys, I'm using 10.10 and was wondering if I am able to get that cool program search function like what is in 11.04 in the top-left of the desktop [08:40] why are threads on the Ubuntu forums asking for login. The forum results were so handy. And now so useless. [08:40] use google cache [08:40] HashNuke, new policy some links are old and not applicable at times be careful. [08:40] where has moved the dbus interface org.freedesktop.hal? [08:41] zagibu: here's my route http://pastie.org/2395733 I have 192.168.1.1 which is my router's IP as my gateway. [08:41] urlin2u, you know what I'm talking about buddy? hehe [08:42] niche, the unity left panel? [08:42] niche: If you use the unity interface yes, but most user's don't like it [08:42] urlin2u: oh. but keeping that open would have made a lot of people's lives easier. [08:43] no, not unity.... so I think. You click some symbol I believe and you can type the program you are looking for [08:43] and it will pop up [08:43] mang0: "but most user's don't like it" nice to know I have a lot of company. I stick to the Classic Desktop. [08:43] HashNuke, actually new users were using links that were not applicable the new policy is due to this, some don't look close enough to the date or instructions, it happens. [08:43] yeah, that looks good [08:43] HashNuke: I stick to the classic too [08:43] :) [08:43] You can install unity on 10.10 Desktop version?

Haha, why is that a risk? You can't get rid of it? [08:47] I installed 10.10 over 11.04 because of very poor performance. Thinking it may have been due to Unity so I don't think I'll take that risk [08:47] zagibu: it magically starts to work again. no idea how. [08:47] Can I turn APIC on after install, or is that setting permanent? [08:47] Although I kind of liked Unity. Wonder if it will make a come back in the next version [08:47] niche, probably but I use unity, I liked maverick but didn't try to run unity, and there may be more updated information is all. === HashNuke_ is now known as HashNuke [08:48] 11.04 ran like a Ford Festiva, 10.10 runs like a Enzo Ferrari [08:50] niche: 10.10 or 11.10?

I infer that you did not give me a proper answer. === marienz_ is now known as marienz [09:14] bullgard4_: no, it means that that file /usr/games/sudoku comes from the package "sudoku" (the first word in the output) [09:14] bullgard4: apt-get install gnome-sudoku [09:15] brb... knew kernel [09:16] oCean: But I did not aks for a package but for a section. [09:16] where does unity get all of its shortcuts? I have a ton of trash shortcuts and they are not in the gnome menu system [09:16] /ignore -channels #ubuntu * JOINS [09:16] so the md5 and sha are correct. now what [09:17] bullgard4_: right, I'm sorry I misread your question. What kind of "section" are you referring to? [09:17] bullgard4_: you mean 'main', 'universe' etc? [09:17] am i only 1 who's computer is encoutering fishing attacks on ssh? [09:18] eraggo: such attacks occur all the time. Move ssh off port 22 and they should just about disappear [09:19] eraggo : you can use fail2ban too [09:19] oCean: Ubuntu divides all packages that it odffers in "sections". You can find a button "Section" on the left-hand pane in Synaptic. For example a valid section is "Amateur Radio (universe)". [09:19] ah. Didnt thought about that... going to change it after getting to home [09:19] -d [09:19] how can I list all the servers that are running on my system? [09:19] bullgard4_: oh right. I'm not sure how to do that in terminal. But you can ask ubottu (here in irc) bye typing /msg ubottu !info sudoku [09:20] *by [09:21] oCean: This command provides the 'component' but not the 'section'. [09:22] bullgard4_: ok, sorry. Than I don't know how to list what you need.. [09:22] Arney: You can try "netstat -antp" this will show you all the listening port on your host [09:23] Arney: and the active connection [09:23] Nrm: how that fail2ban actually works? [09:23] oCean: Ok. Thank you. [09:23] Nrm worked great. [09:23] eraggo: fail2ban is a program that use iptables to block users that try too many times to log into your server [09:24] eraggo: you just have to install it [09:24] Arney: You're welcome ;-) [09:24] Nrm: and after installation it makes its magic in background? [09:24] is there a possibility to format an usb drive if fdisk tells me my drive's a read-only device and I won't be able to write the partition table? [09:26] tutmeep, if you wipe the partition it should be good [09:26] hello === nick is now known as Guest54186 [09:27] urlin2u: I wouldn't know how. Neither fdisk nor gparted are able to wipe it. [09:28] tutmeep, is it unmounted? [09:28] urlin2u: yes [09:28] urlin2u: I am only informed that it's a read-only file system and it's not possible to write on it. [09:28] tutmeep, maybe it's toast you can try a force I guess. [09:29] Hello [09:29] urlin2u: how would i do that? [09:29] tutmeep, mounted it wont wipe it oipen disk utility unmount and try then [09:30] tutmeep, I have never used fdisk look at the helkp [09:30] help[ [09:32] tutmeep, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tools-to-delete-files-securely-in-ubuntu-linux.html [09:32] urlin2u: I unmounted it via disk utility and then tried again via the command line, just to be sure. Still, gparted tells me it cannot write on a read-only device. [09:32] tutmeep: has it a hardware write-protection? [09:32] Hi. [09:33] Could someone let me know how do I install the non-free codecs? [09:33] tutmeep, look at the link, in gparted delete then wrote a new partition. [09:33] bullgard4_: I think I found what you're after. It's through the dpkg-query command: dpkg-query -W -f='${PackageSpec} ${Version}\t${Section}\n' sudoku [09:33] write* [09:33] tutmeep: maybe it's one of those drives that has two partitions, one with vendor-specific crap software that is read only, and one for the data? [09:33] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 LTS [09:33] zagibu: exactly. [09:34] how do u scroll up a page etc in a console [09:34] you can always dd it with zeroes [09:34] then partition it [09:34] mactimes, restricted extras in synaptic [09:34] Fudge shift+page up [09:34] urlin2u I'll check that. Thank you! [09:34] mactimes: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [09:34] llutz: I don't know if there is a hardware write protection. Is there any way I can check? [09:34] thats what i thought but its not working [09:34] oCean Thank you. [09:34] mactimes, cool. [09:35] hello [09:35] tutmeep: is there any data you need on the drive? if NOT: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 [09:35] zagibu: I tried that one, but I'm only told it's not possible to write on the device. [09:35] Fudge Sure? What console are you using? Bare TTY? [09:35] oCean: '~$ dpkg-query -W -f='${PackageSpec} ${Version}\t${Section}\n' sudoku; No packages found matching sudoku.' What should I substitute for '{PackageSpec}'? [09:35] tutmeep: make sure to write to the device, not the partition, and unmount the partitions before [09:36] mactimes how can i tell, im using natty [09:36] llutz, zagibu: I get this error message: dd: opening `/dev/sdb': Read-only file system [09:36] bullgard4_: I tried this, and this should be the actual command (no substitutions required). No packages found , normally means that the package 'sudoku' is not installed. Is it currently? [09:37] tutmeep:is it a thumbdrive? does it have a switch/slider/something for ro/rw? detach it, reattach, try again === MosquitoOo is now known as MaWaLe [09:37] HELLO [09:38] llutz: no switch :( [09:38] bullgard4_: you could try this with an other package you have installed? (pick any package from the output of dpkg -l) [09:38] Fudge Well, Shift+PGUP should work then. Have you changed any shortcuts configuration? [09:38] you should also watch dmesg while attaching the drive [09:39] daserfost, what's up. [09:39] maybe there will be hints [09:39] urlin2u oCean Thank you. That worked. ;-) [09:39] ;) [09:40] does any one knows if the power regression bug fixed on the 3.1 rc2 kernel??? [09:40] nah mactimes dont think so [09:40] llutz: and retrying also didn't change anything. [09:40] rlin2u: what's hot in ubuntu [09:41] dr3mro: 3.1 kernel isn't in ubuntu yet so it's not really an ubuntu discussion [09:41] daserfost: this is not really a discussion channel. Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:41] lol [09:41] just kidding [09:41] Fudge Try closing that console and opening a new one. [09:41] no it's in kernel.ubuntu.com i am downloading it now ?? [09:42] ikonia, no it's in kernel.ubuntu.com i am downloading it now ?? [09:42] tutmeep: sudo hdparm -r0 /dev/sdb [09:42] Fudge Then try something like 'ls -l /etc' [09:42] Fudge Hold down SHIFT and tap PAGE UP [09:42] Fudge Are you using a notebook or something like that? [09:43] Fudge If so, check if you don't have a 'Fn' or 'Function' key on that. [09:43] nah its a desktop [09:43] Fudge If so, probably you have to hold down SHIFT and Fn, then tap PAGE UP [09:43] i use speakup tts but that is not conflicting with the keybinds [09:43] not to worry its not biggy [09:43] I seem to be having a little trouble. Nothing shows up in my home folder in ubuntu 11.04's file manager except for one file (.xsession-errors) [09:44] dr3mro: it's not in an official release. [09:44] com64 check hidden files but sounds bad [09:44] Fudge Oh, so I don't know what I could be. Sorry. =/ [09:44] Fudge: did. [09:44] np mactimes thanx [09:44] Fudge You're welcome. [09:44] though, I can access any subdirectory by specifying the location int he location bar [09:44] com64: what does pwd say in your home folder? [09:44] if youre in gnome it seems unlikely that is the only file [09:44] well, it is. [09:45] one sec, opening a new tab in guake... [09:45] try to reset your folder views, nautilus com64 ? [09:45] pwd says /home/daniel [09:45] how do I reset my folder views? [09:45] if you don't see the files, but can switch into subdirs, the execute flag on your dir permission is missing, IIRC [09:46] ah, it's working now after pressing F5. For some reason, f5 wasn't working before. [09:46] or even switching back into the home folder. [09:46] yeah, those pesky caches [09:47] oCean: I made a mistake. I entered this command in a computer where the package sudoku was not installed. -- My apologies. -- Thank you very much for your help. [09:47] llutz: your command seems to work, but when i remount the drive manually, it's still read-only [09:47] slt [09:48] tutmeep: why do you mount it, if you want to partition it? [09:48] bullgard4_: np, and welcome. [09:49] llutz: i mounted it to see if it was still read-only. [09:50] Whenever I reboot, I can't access my home folder directly in any file manager unless I run "fusermount -u ~/.gvfs [09:50] llutz: also, I still cannot partition it, regardless if it's mounted or not. [09:50] tutmeep:umount it, " sudo hdparm -r0 /dev/sdb" and "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1" then "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" to create new partitions [09:50] llutz: tried that, but I still only get the message that it's a read-only device [09:51] tutmeep: odd, now ideas left here, sry [09:51] s/now/no/ [09:51] hm... I can't change my nick in irssi... [09:51] ah nvm === daniel is now known as com64 [09:52] llutz: i guess there is some hidden hardware switch or something. [09:52] Still, thank you for your help llutz, urlin2u and zagibu [09:52] tutmeep: maybe, get a (working) new usb-device [09:53] llutz: will have to.

[10:01] Nrm, no [10:01] Nrm, let me try that === Guest30345 is now known as deltafost [10:03] urlin2u, there are no switches [10:03] urlin2u, there is a small square at the top left corner which i heard that is used to toggle touchpad, but its also not working === deltafost is now known as deltafoss [10:05] Hey, is this the place for an ubuntu newbie to get some desperately needed help?

[10:08] hey what kinda regex does rubular.com use? [10:08] com64: if dwm is anything like awesome, that's what you get. Have you tried using the hot key to open a terminal? [10:09] firestormooo: Yes. [10:09] does Irsend work with kernel 2.6.38-10-generic anda mceusb transciever? I cant get it working it was fine in lucid [10:09] (Oops...missed that in the scrollback.) [10:09] somsip: what's the hotkey? [10:09] com64: in awesome is mod4 + Enter, but maybe DWM is different. [10:10] I'll go look it up. [10:10] hello [10:10] I wonder if there's a way to have no backdrop, just a solid black colour... [10:11] hello I got a problem with system monitor, everytime I start it it loads then just disappears - need help figuring out whats wrong, new at this [10:11] com64: it's likely, from whatever config file DWM uses. I'd suggest customising of that might come after you make sure it's working and can do the basic functions [10:11] urlin2u, :( that feature is not working [10:11] bannik: try start in terminal see if there is error msg [10:11] urlin2u, even i installed the gpointing-device-settings [10:12] wildbat: whats the command for it?? [10:12] urlin2u, its all ok all the settings are to disable the touchpad [10:12] bannik: gnome-system-monitor [10:12] ranjan, the button does not work? [10:12] on off [10:12] urlin2u, its not a button, its also a touchpad [10:12] I'm trying to get a program to compile from source; I new to linux in general, but I know how to program and wanted to do some light tinkering/development/general playing with changes, so I need to figure out how to get it to compile. I attempted to follow the instructions on the site but I'm a little lost.

My Samsung Galaxy GT-S5830 (ACE), using Frodo, is in a deadlock situation: I used the default browser's functionality to create links to websites on the desktop. I had to desktop pages at that point.

I also can't access the main menu. So I [10:19] can't add a new desktop page. All I get is an error that com.sec.android.app.twlauncher has stopped unexpectedly. Pressing "Force Quit" button doesn't help, get the error again as soon as I try to enter desktop or main menu.

[12:03] szal, mucho gracias [12:04] * sp3ctrumIG_ is away: [12:04] is the 64bit version equally supported/deveopled like the 32bit version or is 64bit still more for the nerds...? [12:05] 64-bit version is the pokemon master edition [12:05] Tank658: at least I can read you :-) [12:05] niche: which means? -I'm too old for pokemon-hints... :-) [12:06] catered to nerds? I actually have no idea I just have ADD and had to throw something out there [12:06] niche: 'sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so firefox-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so 60 && sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin' <- that should then either give you a choice or tell you that it has the 64bit Flash plugin as the only option === jrgifford__ is now known as jrgiford === jrgiford is now known as jrgifford [12:07] szal, cool man check it out http://paste.ubuntu.com/670032/ [12:08] I noticed that qemu-performance is better than 32 bit, but everything else seems to be a bit more laggy... [12:08] szal, which one do I want? I don't understand auto mode, manual mode, priority? I want 64 bit [12:08] niche: looks good as-is; restart Firefox and try Flash again [12:09] szal, I haven't selected a option though. I just restarted firefox and flash is still missing btw [12:10] niche: or re-run the update-alternatives --config command (NOT the --install part) and select option 1 [12:11] szal, chose option 1 and it's still not working [12:12] niche: then be sure to uninstall the 32bit Flash plugin [12:12] kk [12:12] do I need to re-install the 64 bit? [12:12] not that I know of [12:13] szal, :( Still nothing. Any other ideas [12:14] what does update-alternatives --config say now? [12:14] hi, how do I see what devices are connected to my usb ports? [12:14] pete_: lsusb -v [12:15] pete__: there are some more ls-variants: ls, lsusb, lspci [12:15] szal, http://paste.ubuntu.com/670036/ [12:16] Traintop, that's told me lost of information about the usb controllers but not about the device that's plugged in [12:16] niche: k, then I'm out of ideas.. blame the official Firefox ^^ [12:17] pete__: but it should list all connected devices... -if lsusb only lists your usb-controllers it means that no usb-device is pluged in... [12:17] szal, I see. Well thanks for the efforts! Wonder how it got screwed up [12:17] dammit, I have one plugged in and it's not seeing it [12:17] niche: I can only tell you that it works w/ no extra configuration in Firefox 6 (from *buntu pkg) on Natty [12:17] is there a dmesg command or something else I can try? [12:18] pete__: I have to say I am not really sure if usb-devices are also listed if their driver is not loaded, but that's just hinting [12:18] Traintop: they are [12:18] pete__: you can try putting more "v"s e.g. lsusb -vv or lsusb -vvv [12:18] Traintop: usb device have to show up in lsusb output, regardless if there is a driver loaded or not [12:19] Hi, someone made an interactive pdf, but it doesn't work in my pdf viewer. What pdf viewer can open interactive pdf pages? [12:19] pete__: you can try dmesg | tail right after pluggin in the usb device [12:19] Traintop, that just makes it more verbose [12:19] Other than adobe. [12:19] niche: the only other option I could think of (attention: dirty and NOT recommended) is symlinking the libflashplayer.so by hand [12:20] Ðóññêèå ïîìîãèòå! === velmis is now known as wealth [12:20] zwt2789: so lsusb does not verify module-loading but just lists all connected devices [12:20] zwt2789 kinda worked [12:20] Pulp: please fix your encoding [12:20] Traintop: yes [12:20] zwt2789:thx :-) [12:20] pete__: put the output on pastebin [12:20] hmmm [12:21] szal, I'm up way too late. I will just have to work on this tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help [12:21] youre getting sleeeeepy [12:21] i need help in apache? [12:21] There is here Russian?

[12:23] corey_: Ask Valve. [12:23] corey_: how do we know, ask the Steam developers [12:23] pete__: maybe that device has buggy usb function, not conforming to standards [12:23] i was just wondering because theres alot of people saying "its confirmed" [12:23] i need .htaccess file to redirect all subdomain to subdirectories with the same name? [12:23] I saw the same output some days ago when a friend of mine gave me a "probably broken" usb-memory-stick... :-( [12:24] corey_: unfortunately not [12:25] they tried, but decided it was too difficult to establish compatibility with all different environments [12:26] but this is old info, so maybe it has changed lately [12:26] zagibu: already gone dude. welcome to your first drive by preach troller [12:27] hmmm, it's interesting, though, they are currently looking for a senior software dev to port games to linux... [12:27] it's also offtopic [12:28] Question: I have a machine which has a 64bit-capable cpu: should I use the 32 or the 64 bit version? [12:28] Traintop: which ever you want [12:28] of ubuntu 11.04 [12:28] thanks for your help dudes [12:29] and maybe it only covers the server parts of the games, which are already running under linux for some [12:29] !ot [12:29] #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! [12:29] maybe you should loosen your undies a bit, they seem to fit too tightly [12:29] Traintop, how much RAM do you have ? [12:30] airtonix: I used 32bit-linux all the years and decided to test 11.04 64bit: but now e.g the sound cracks every time I start audio for about 1.5sec... -is this a 64-bit-bug? [12:30] OewHeks: 4GB [12:31] to be totally precise: the machine is a X61t from lenovo [12:31] Traintop, with more than 2 Gb ram, i would try 64 bit, but 4 Gb is awesome. [12:31] download a 32bit live cd and see for yourself [12:31] Êàêîé ðàçìåð inode âûáðàòü? [12:31] snirc_user8345, of course!

[12:33] 64 bit works fine for me [12:34] the thing that makes me cry almost every 5min is: when I open a media-file (audio or viedo) sound starts, pauses for 2 or 3 times and then resumes for good as long as I do not pause it for myself... :-( [12:34] can ubuntu one music store use other linux distro users aswell? [12:34] really strange things, such as really bad wifi reception on a fresh install, some 3d programs that crash a lot, etc [12:34] and yes, the wifi reception is much better on a fresh install of the exactly same distro but the 32bit version [12:35] Какой размер inode выбрать?

[12:36] sure, man [12:37] Traintop: well, I'm not sure, i think it mainly has to do with drivers...at least all my problems seem to involve some dedicated hardware like network adapters, gpu or audio device [12:37] i'd say if you don't have over 4gb ram, there is not much benefit from 64bit [12:38] hello. I booted a 10.10 livecd, and am trying to fsck a disk, but it says it's mounted, but when i umount it it says it's not:( How do i repair an ext4 fs off the live cd? disk util just says somethings borked and wont fix it [12:38] zagibu: in practice the limit seems to be 3 GB [12:38] yeah, you lose a bit of your 4gb, but not that much [12:39] zagibu: apart from that, PAE exists, extending RAM addressability to 64 GB [12:40] can ubuntu one music store use other linux distro users aswell? [12:40] but honestly, I don't see a reason not to use 64bit w/ capable hardware [12:40] lsof just says [jdb2 sda1-8] [12:40] hi pppl [12:41] so I am confused...: qemu runs a good bit faster than on 32-bit ubuntu 10.04, but everything else is slower than 32bit [12:41] Hi! guys is there any one get this error when trying to open ntfs-config-root http://pastebin.com/1e7Jg772 [12:41] but I will try the 32-bit live-cd just to be sure [12:41] Traintop: qemu is well known as a good vmhost [12:42] cillo564: I really have no idea... -sorry :-( [12:42] nearst: I know... :-) -my argument is that qemu-performace is better on my 64-bit 11.04 install than on the 32-bit 10.04 install :-) [12:43] but everthing else is better on the 32bit install... :-( [12:43] Traintop: np, bcoz most app is written on 32-bit library [12:43] Hello.

When I select that in synaptic, it says it needs libboost-dev and libboost1.42-dev. Installing this, leeds then to the [12:48] error http://paste.ubuntu.com/670057/ I can click close and the error goes away, leaving a broken dependency. I can then also compile the code as libcgal-dev is installed... but the broken dependency is still there... :( [12:49] I tried a few things, but nothing helped... any advice welcome, thanks!! [12:49] lucidguy: logstalgia will be good [12:49] nearst: Every use Analog, awstats, webalizer? [12:50] lucidguy: yeah [12:50] nearst: Experience? Which would you prefer? [12:51] lucidguy: webalizer will be good. im always use for analyze for proxy access.

[12:53] i had an error immediately after updating 'resume: libcrypt 1.4" or something [12:53] lucidguy: gudluck.. some ppl got diff mind :) [12:53] dan__: try apt-get install --fix-missing [12:54] nearst: agree.. not a fan of awstats? [12:54] it says usual stuff abotu upstart job [12:54] no errors [12:54] sudo service gdm restart makes the screen flicker but stays on terminal [12:54] lucidguy: not too fan, since i always use for running my squid access log analyzer [12:55] fix missing didnt report any packages missing [12:55] dan__: uninstall and reinstall libcrypt by hand?

[14:45] iridium: Bitchx is no longer supported upstream and is not in the Debian or Ubuntu repositories for that reason. [14:45] hi folks, 10.10 amd/64 system here...... with visual effects set to NONE.... i am able to grab a session and move it about in the workspace switcher (from within the switcher)....when 'normal' or 'extra' is chosen from visual effects, this function does NOT work.... what am i doing incorrectly? [14:46] Pici, and it was a joke [14:46] escott thanks for all your help [14:46] iridium: I've still seen plenty of people ask why bitchx isn't in the repos, and its not easy to determine if people are joking over IRC. [14:47] aside of huge security holes? I wonder why... [14:47] Crypt, have you tried installing "Compiz Control Panel" or something, and configuring stuff from there? [14:47] escott: I had 195MB free for physical memory and 1600 for my swap (out of 4GB). [14:48] hello each time i try to watch a video ubuntu crashed and logged me out [14:49] what could i do for resolving [14:50] SavageWolf, yes, i have compiz installed...either i am not parsing its functions correctly, or it does not help...with moving a session from within the application switcher.... [14:50] rly, so you are using swap which is bad, but you have some free memory (which is being used for a cache) so the kernel things that the stuff in the swap is less important than the potential gains from caching a few things. in other words you could use more ram, but what is being swapped is mostly stuff you arent using right this moment. you should see some hesitation when you switch tabs/alt-tab to another application === Mud is now known as Guest94290 [14:51] rly, s/kernel things/kernel thinks/ [14:51] escott: yes, I know; I could write a virtual memory system myself ;) [14:52] SavageWolf, the deal is, on boot up... all the previous sessions are on one [14:52] page.... not where they were locked too. [14:52] Is there a way to force the uninity bar to close. It really annoys me that it stays open due to some bug which I ca't identify. [14:52] escott: if you want a harder problem: I cannot switch user. If I do, I get a short black screen and just see that my session is locked. [14:52] The only way to get it to close is to quit out of netbeans then reload it. === nearst is now known as nearst|away [14:53] Layke, the only way I know of is to set it to autohide [14:53] escott: it kind of makes me and Ubuntu look stupid when that happens of course. [14:53] Well, I can't help you much Crypt... Sorry... [14:53] coz_, Unfortunately, it is on autohide. [14:53] away for a while [14:53] hola a todos === david is now known as Guest6740 [14:53] But it thinks that it deserves focus and stays open. [14:53] i installed 64-bit ubuntu server, dhcp works fine but why can't i get static ip working, or where is an uptodate tutorial for 11.04 that actually works and not some rehashed tutorial from 2007 on back? [14:53] SavageWolf, ok, thanks for the inut. [14:53] Layke, oh!! and it pops up for you when the cursor is on the left screen edge ...yes? === Guest6740 is now known as David_Spanish [14:53] Yeah. But it is currently always open. [14:54] i know... [14:54] Layke, well,, the only other way is to log off and log into the classic mode or the classic ( no effects) mode [14:54] I'm going to be installing Ubuntu on my new machine but Idk what version to use. I was thinking about 10.04, but I dont know if the newest version is better. [14:54] someone spanish here?

But the oonly two ways I have figured out is to.. log out log back in to restart X. Then close all my applications. [14:55] ok thank u very much === graingert is now known as bitcoinbabe === mokti is now known as mukti [14:55] mokti, well 10.04 is LTS ,, 11.04 has the newer interface ,, if you check online for the different appearances then you could make your decisioin that way maybe === bitcoinbabe is now known as graingert [14:55] rly, you just testing people? in any case I don't know much about user switching [14:55] I don't really like unity much. Is rather stick with gnome [14:55] mokti [14:55] my computer's RAM is 2 GB but free -m is only showing 1.6 GB [14:56] mukti, well you can use classic gnome on 11.04 [14:56] why is that? [14:56] amanforindia, the kernel uses some which doesnt appear there [14:56] mukti, just log into the classic or classic ( no effects) mode [14:56] escott: no, I was wondering about why X used that much memory, but your explanation was known to me in hindsight. [14:56] so much as 200 mb?? [14:56] escott: the other thing is a real problem. [14:56] escott: er another* [14:57] coz_ Oh, it still has gnome? [14:57] mukti, yes it does,,so no problem there [14:57] Is 11.04 an LTD version? [14:57] amanforindia, dmesg | grep Memory [14:57] *LTS [14:57] in a terminal [14:57] mukti, no 11.04 is not LTS but 12.04 will be LTS [14:58] amanforindia, do you use an Onboard Videocard wich uses shared memory ?

[14:59] 3d, graphic card [14:59] restart required brb [14:59] its also with local files [14:59] technikfreak0815, thats not going to be too helpful as it doesnt show the crash. you can install mplayer and try mplayer -vo x11 video_file and see if the issue is something with gl or xvideo [14:59] just that i have on my home folder [14:59] amanforindia, shared memory could explain the use [15:00] also if skype shows webcam bam [15:00] it was not giving me trouble as even 1.5gb is quite big for most application but i recently starting using virtualBox [15:00] Is there a reason also, why I could drag the Netbeans 6.9 to the unity menu bar, but I can do that for Netbeans 7.01? When I do it, it just drops but doesn stay in the Unity menu. [15:00] any video related i logged [15:00] out [15:00] so how do i decrease the shared memory [15:00] amanforindia, adjust it in your Bios. [15:01] What are the major differences from 10.04 to 11.04? [15:01] amanforindia, lspci | grep VGA [15:01] even in memtest86+ it is showing only 1.6gb [15:01] lets see what returns [15:01] Layke: right click and keep in launcher [15:01] ATI card [15:02] VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9802 [15:02] IdleOne, Yeah, I can't do that. [15:02] Tht only works if the icon is already in the menu bar. [15:02] I want to get it there. [15:02] It's strange. It's like the bar just won't accept this icon. [15:03] Layke: launch the app it should appear in the bar and then you should be able to make it stick. [15:03] Layke: if not, I don't know. [15:03] IdleOne: Thanks. That worked :) [15:03] Cheers. [15:03] welcome === trijntje_ is now known as temppp [15:04] amanforindia, seems to be AMD fusion, so almost for sure the integrated card will be reserving memory for itself [15:05] Hi [15:05] is there a reason why lib32asound2-plugins is not in natty? [15:05] would that have been the default setting? how do i optimize ram usage for VM's [15:05] so i need vnc-java for web browser to access my ubuntu laptop.. which one is preferred? tightvnc-java or vnc-java ? [15:05] What are the major differences from 10.04 to 11.04? [15:06] mukti: almost everything [15:06] lol. Except IdleOne the icon isn't clickable from the Unity Bar. So strange. I'll just live with typing netbeans and click for now. [15:06] Not seen this behaviour before. [15:06] a year of diference :P [15:06] Layke: must be missing some feature. report a bug maybe? [15:06] i use ubuntu classic [15:06] Layke: ^ [15:06] mukti, that wouls take too much room , go to a search for general questions [15:06] I don't know how I could provide a "how to repeat" [15:07] It's definately only specific to my system. Since otherwise all the people using Netbeans would have come accross it before. [15:07] How do I switch to classic? Just disable Unity Plugin?

[15:20] mokti, I think so, but I'm not absolutely certain. [15:20] MuNk`_: no. [15:20] mokti: Ubuntu will use the last session used as default. [15:21] IdleOne, is it possible to lock it in place then? because if the Text in a window is to big it keeps pushing my icons off the edge of the screen [15:21] IdleOne: is it possible to remove unity altogether? [15:21] IdleOne, Thanx; that's what I thought. :D [15:22] mokti: I suppose so but why. use classic if you prefer and just leave unity installed. [15:22] MuNk`_: I believe you can in !ccsm [15:22] MuNk`_: if you drag the mouse over to the left edge of the screen the launcher should reappear [15:22] unity would be fine if clicking the prog tabs again minimized [15:23] and it didnt do that wierd ass maximize [15:23] Bakou: Please mind your language [15:23] IdleOne: do you know how big Unity is?

(preferably without a 9p filesystem) [15:30] escott: I am not sure, I am new to it. I saw on-line, somebody had two windows each covered half the screen and he resized them horizontally [15:30] escott: at the same time.. [15:31] escott: at the same time resizing one from the right and the other from the left, since these edges were touching.. [15:31] sounds like a killer feature === luigi is now known as \l [15:32] renancoelho, not sure what wm would have that feature. compiz has a feature where you can ctrl-alt-numpad6 and make a window fit the left hand side but its only one window at a time. in gnome3 you drag the window to the side and it takes up half the screen. not sure about unity === root is now known as Guest82982 [15:32] In Unity, just drag to an edge to take up half the screen. [15:33] Drag to top to maximise. [15:33] renancoelho, sounds like that person had group windows activated in order to resize 2 wi ndows at once [15:33] I guess it is just hard to explain, i appreciate the help though, thanks!

[15:52] i'm trying to boot a liveusb [15:52] Even the cancel the installation option does nothing :-) === Guest92661 is now known as dtabrams [15:52] mokti, firefox has a plugin maybe that allows you to type the words of the link and type through them [15:53] i have a part magic livecd i've been trying to do stuff with [15:53] mokti, http://lifehacker.com/139495/hack-attack-mouse+less-firefox [15:53] hi! *.mkv on vlc does not work properly. sound and video not on same time. so, any suggestions about player which play *.mkv properly [15:53] Hey Ubuntu, I'm doing my laundry and would like to have a timer to tell me when my stuff is done. Is there a program for ubuntu that works like a simple egg timer ? [15:53] hey i have one problem that while booting into ubuntu it is showing my os name as KUBUNTU instead of ubuntu whats the reason and how to solve it [15:53] rawfodog: that is the at command and the sleep command [15:53] rawfodog: sleep 10; echo 'done!' [15:54] Maybe a silly question. My /var/log/messages contains the line "Aug 7 06:47:04 host-name syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu3: restart" Is that syslogd indicating that the server restarted or something indicating that syslogd restarted? [15:54] greetings [15:54] cool [15:54] rawfodog, at, cron [15:54] Combatjuan: syslogd restart, check with "who -b" for last system restart [15:55] 10 is like what, 10 seconds or minutes ? [15:55] Running an SSH server at home, friend wants to use it for tunneling. How can I limit bandwidth for his user's sessions? (Bonus points for monthly usage quotas) [15:55] llutz: How about last restart before last? (-8 I just restarted it. Oops. [15:55] would any of you send me and invite to g+ please? my email is ramsees.79@gmail.com [15:55] rawfodog, seconds, use at for longer periods [15:55] rawfodog: You could make it play a sound file if you have one. sleep 10; aplay /path/to/file I think [15:56] sweet. I just found out if I put an "m" next to the number it knows I mean MINUTES :D [15:56] rawfodog, "at now + 10 min[enter]alert laundry[enter][ctrl-d] [15:56] rawfodog: sleep 10 or sleep 10m or sleep 10h [15:56] Thanks ebian [15:56] rawfodog: sure [15:57] escott: alert laundry ? [15:57] edbian, his original question was about the laundry. alert integrates to the desktop notifications and prints "laundry" [15:57] for anybody who might be able to help, here my problem again: I am compiling a personal project that needs boost 1.44. Current version in natty/main is 1.42. So I added LP-PPA-purplekarrot/natty from https://launchpad.net/~purplekarrot/+archive/ppa/+build/2658906 So far, so good. But the code also needs libcgal-dev. When I select that in synaptic, it says it needs libboost-dev and libboost1.42-dev. Installing this, leeds then to [15:57] the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/670057/ I can click close and the error goes away, leaving a broken dependency. I can then also compile the code as libcgal-dev is installed... but the broken dependency is still there... :( [15:57] escott: mhmmm [15:59] How does ubunto recognise new drives after an installation with only one drive connected? Will it have any issues if I try installing with a single drive connected, then reconnect the other after installation? [15:59] hm when I try to sendmail with telnet I get the error message: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table postfix when trying to specify a RCPT TO: [15:59] any ideas how to solve that? [16:00] ichbinder, do you need the "libboost-exception-dev" package ? [16:00] glebihan: hey, thanks for answering. I think it's something the other -dev packages depend on [16:02] Hello, is there a way to map CTRL+ALT+RIGHT ARROW to a gamepad button using QJoyPad? [16:02] m_fulder: is the recipients domain listed in $mydomain? [16:02] Morphies: What do you mean? If you add a new (internal) hard drive will it work? Yes. You will need to format it, but it will be accessable after. [16:02] err mydestination* [16:02] ichbinder, are you sure about the dependencies you mentioned ? cause libboost-dev and libboost1.42-dev are conflicting packages [16:02] ichbinder, oh no soory [16:03] llutz should mydomain be in the /etc/postfix/main.cf ? I don't think I got it there [16:03] Jessie: I mean leaving only my main HDD attached, and disconnecting every other HDD during installation then reconnecting post installation. [16:03] omg, i have a linux shell. how do i format my disk and just drop all tables? [16:03] m_fulder: mydestination* not mydomain, sry [16:03] which I suppose is essentially the same:-) [16:03] glebihan: when I try to remove libboost-exception-dev it also wants to remove all other -dev packages [16:03] ichbinder, did you try "sudo apt-get install -f" [16:03] glebihan: on what item? [16:03] Morphies: Ah. Okay. Well, I am guessing you want to dual boot into Windows? [16:04] TechnoCat, how will that help the oom? [16:04] ichbinder, none, just that command [16:04] what is oom [16:04] oh out of memory [16:04] jessie: yes [16:04] llutz, no the receptionist address is not listed there should I list everyone I will send mail to there :O [16:04] because i'm not out of memory, it is wrong [16:04] glebihan: ok, give me a sec [16:04] 3gb to boot up a 178mb live cd? [16:04] m_fulder: you have to define for what domains you accepts mails [16:04] TechnoCat, if you want to create a new partition table just sudo fdisk /dev/sda [16:05] Can I serve *.exe s over a samba share? [16:05] m_fulder: accepting all makes you an open-relay [16:05] TechnoCat, but i'm not clear what the real goal here is. diagnosing the errors leading to the oom, or blowing everything away [16:05] Morphies: It should work if you do that, though you will have to do some potentially strange things with the BIOS. [16:05] Spitfire19, most configs will refuse to execute them [16:05] Is there any way to source a file by default for any runit service's run script? [16:06] the software we are currently usings works over traditional Windows file shares [16:06] can i display partitions with fdisk? [16:06] llutz from who I accept to get mails from? Then how is this related to who I am sending my mail to? :P [16:06] TechnoCat, i think its p but type h for commands [16:06] jessie: Sounds insteresting, I;ve attempted install already with everything connected, it failed on partitioning. tried with just the external esata drive connected, failed at bootloader installation. Currently installing withjust the main drive connected [16:06] m_fulder: mydestination = example.com, coolnewdomain.com, localhost.localdomain, localhost <- all domain-names you accept mails for (not senders) [16:07] are there supposed to be a million partitions? =\ lol [16:07] i didn't think that was possibly [16:07] i have /dev/sda1 - /dev/sda60 [16:07] llutz hum so if I don't have one mail in the mydestination variable I can't send mail to him :O [16:07] all ntfs... [16:07] TechnoCat, thats weird. you can have up to 4 primaries but a pretty much unlimited number of extendeds [16:08] conclusion: the windows installer f'ed up my disk [16:08] glebihan: nope. fails to install or update [16:08] m_fulder: for outgoing, you want to look for sasl and set something like " smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated" [16:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/670177/ [16:09] m_fulder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [16:10] hey guys....just wanted to know whether it's worth upgrading to 11.10 yet? [16:10] mikebeecham, #unity+1 [16:10] llutz will check that out :P [16:10] mikebeecham, rather #ubuntu+1 [16:10] seems grub has installed OK this time round [16:11] ichbinder, it looks like there are some broken packages in the repos, I'm also getting dependencies errors while trying to install libgcal-dev [16:11] escott, thanks [16:11] hello from Lybia [16:11] ichbinder, if I were you I would file a bug on libgcal-dev and see what comes out of it [16:12] glebihan: hm, ok... interesting. I thought this would definitely be a personal problem with haveing two versions of boost installed... [16:12] Ramses_, hello what kind of help do you want now from here [16:13] ichbinder, you have 2 versions installed ? [16:13] looking for more Linux knowledge, just it [16:13] hej [16:13] glebihan: well, what I mean is the conflicting installes of boost... [16:13] i was wondering how can i get more than 9 workspaces?? [16:13] Is this stupid case of not being able to boot because of the 60 NTFS partitions worth noting somewhere? [16:14] i wasn't able to boot live cd's or anything === Ramses_ is now known as Intel [16:14] hi [16:14] hello all [16:14] glebihan: i tried to remove all boost stuff before adding https://launchpad.net/~purplekarrot/+archive/ppa/+build/2658906 as repo, but when I try to do so, it wants to remove also very basic stuff or other stuff, e.g. libreoffice. [16:14] how do i change the date format in ubuntu === graingert is now known as dianabitcoingirl [16:14] ichbinder, yes but I would think the problem rather comes from libgcal-dev than boost itself [16:14] to custom yyyy-mm-dd [16:15] TechnoCat, (a) are you sure thats why you couldn't boot (b) you could send something to the kernel group, I suppose they should care if a bad partition table crashes the system [16:15] ichbinder, you shouldn't need to remove it, the upgrade should be enough [16:15] escott, yes, i am positive [16:15] varikonniemi, locale [16:15] i was finally able to boot into a shell from initramfs or something, and used fdisk, deleted partitions, restarted, everything works [16:15] i can only see the change for countries [16:16] Hi [16:16] not to custom [16:16] ichbinder, as I said, for now I would uninstall the conflicting packages and file a bug, but maybe somebody else can find a better solution [16:16] albino_: hi [16:16] glebihan: yeah, thought so too... i guess you are right, and I guess there is somewhere in cgal a dependency for boost version = 1.42 instead of >= 1.42 [16:16] TechnoCat, the thing is that says the kernel was ok with the bad partition table, but the upper user stack doesn't like it. honestly i doubt anyone expects to get to a gui when the partition table is junk [16:16] glebihan: well, can't uninstall as I need both packages to compile my stuff [16:16] escott, i do with a live image. [16:17] if i disconnected the hdd it would've booted [16:17] glebihan: i need boost > 1.42 and I need cgal, which wants boost 1.42... ^^ but only during installing. Then it works... [16:17] How can I change wiFi card driver (BCM4312) from STA to b43? [16:17] does anyone know of a distro based upon it? like with data recovery tools and what not i could use on my workstations? [16:17] I have both installed, but don't know how to change 'em === dianabitcoingirl is now known as graingert [16:18] eightiesk, parted magic [16:18] whoa dianabitcoingirl you must really like bitcoin [16:18] http://partedmagic.com/ [16:18] varikonniemi: a lot [16:18] but anyone, to change date foramt in ubuntu 1104 ? [16:19] varikonniemi: the silly girl didn't register her nick [16:19] graingert ? [16:19] so I stole it [16:19] despite warning her el oh el [16:19] varikonniemi: date format in what context? CLI? panel? [16:19] well, system wide.. D: [16:20] glebihan: thanks for your help and trying things... i guess i will file that bug report [16:20] or at least the top right cornet [16:20] TechnoCat: not talking about a program but something thats basic, nothing but recovery tools, internet no messageing or email [16:20] but.. also nautilus [16:20] cant install linux on my android grrr [16:20] ichbinder, you're welcome, sorry I couldn't be more helpful === Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush_88 [16:21] Hi, anyone can help me ? i have a little problem with my X-FE auzentech Sound card [16:21] glebihan: no problem. Helps to know that it might be cgal's fault [16:21] varikonniemi, maybe this could help : http://ccollins.wordpress.com/2009/01/06/how-to-change-date-formats-on-ubuntu/ [16:22] Hi, anyone can help me ? i have a little problem with my X-Fi auzentech Sound card [16:22] how do i alter the display settings? [16:23] hey everyone: I'm making backup snapshots with squashfs and automatically appending a date & time string to the filename when it's done; I just realized I'm using a colon in the filename; will this do Very Many Odd Things if I copy them back to an HFS+ volume for storage, or will hfstools in Natty be smart enough to use escaped chars for me or something? [16:23] i cannot believe it is that hard still :D [16:23] does anyone know of a distro based upon it? like with data recovery tools and what not i could use on my workstations, but without all the bloatware... [16:24] its from 09 [16:24] yeah [16:24] Try testdisk [16:24] Photrec [16:24] you can recover a whole parttion [16:24] DISTRO [16:25] sup [16:25] http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [16:25] o sorry [16:25] varikonniemi, well I guess not many people look for that possibility, so nobody worked on a tool to make it easier [16:25] al linux distro [16:25] backtrack, [16:25] babble, why are you using rsync with --link-dest [16:25] anyone know how to use virtualbox, I see instructions for a new windows xp installation, but is it possible to use an existing wndows partition? [16:25] ;D i mean most web forums allow the change to custom [16:25] backtrack [16:25] babble, rather why are you not [16:25] not the point i know i can install and then install the programs. [16:25] so it is not too much to askt my OS os of choice can do the same? :P [16:26] it would make my life ez if i could add them to source code how would i go abotu that [16:26] we have 10 computers here [16:26] escott: because I'm too much of a newbie to figure out rsync :) [16:26] hehe [16:26] Anyone can help me with my X-FI auzentack sound card? [16:26] if a resize (installing 10.04 - resizing 11.04) is stuck at 50% (has been for 5 minutes) is it going to be a problem ... do I lose my old partition -- because this to me doesn't look good [16:26] babble: what u gonna do [16:26] whoa hang on its moved on [16:26] is ok thanks [16:26] idsme: wassup with it? [16:26] babble, what you gain by using this squashfs based approach is being able to move around backups independently at the expense of cpu and disk space [16:26] rhin0: backup all your data 1st [16:26] hi guys. i just got ubuntu today and am clueless on how to use it.:-(. getting cannot find name for group id 504. how do i solve this? [16:26] there is no sound [16:26] nearst: oh, likely rename these snapshots, rather than risk it [16:27] i try to install the drivers [16:27] but get some error message [16:27] babble: cool tho [16:27] escott: I'm a Mac user; I'm used to working with disk umages. [16:27] SquashFS works lik eI think [16:27] (and I need to renice mksquashfs, apparently. hehe) [16:28] babble: yeah.. gudluck and gudtry [16:28] can anyone help me with a cannot find name for group id 504 ? [16:28] babble, ok. if it works for you, go for it. most would probably recommend learning rsync, so if you want to try and learn that we can try to point you in the right direction. there are also guis listed in !backup [16:28] Action, i try to install the drivers [16:29] danii3: cat /etc/passwd | grep 504 [16:29] escott: yeah, I'm not averse to learning The One True and Proper Way to do things; I was more just wondering if hfstools was going to be smart enough to do the Right Thing on copy [16:29] where can i get help with Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 on Ubuntu (looks great in Cheese and Guvcview, but awful when streaming)? [16:29] escott: agree, im using rsync too... [16:29] idsme: the CD you have, do you mean? [16:30] if not, I'll rename all of these and twiddle my backup script to use a different naming scheme [16:30] no [16:30] not the CD :) [16:30] anyonw know how I can install this? I have successfully downloaded the package with wget and uncompressed it.. Now what? http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/msttcorefonts [16:30] the drivers one the internet page: moment, will show it [16:30] idsme: good, that would be silly [16:30] idsme: what do u mean [16:30] babble, its not necessarily the one true and proper way, just that yours is unusual. unfortunately i don't know enough about hfstools to say [16:30] nearst: hi nearst. no such file or directory [16:31] rns: "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" [16:31] escott: Mac users use disk image sfor EVERYTHING. hehe. [16:31] rns: or just install the mssttcorefonts package [16:31] my backup strategy isn't unusual coming from OS X [16:31] rns, why didn't you install from the repos ? [16:31] babble, when you look at the underpinnings of time machine its pretty close to rsync [16:31] rns: you don't extract debs, they are packages to install [16:31] xangua, glebihan I don't have sudo access, this is on a server. I tried easy_install but it couldn't find the pacakge. [16:31] escott: yeah, I was never much of a fan of TM :) hehe [16:32] I get conceptually than rsync and TM are doing similar things [16:32] ActionParsnip, so how do I install it? [16:32] danii3: try id (username) [16:32] rns: to install then you will need sudo access to put the files in the file system, you can run: sudo dpkg -i filename to install them [16:33] babble, use what you are comfortable with [16:33] rns: yeah.. maybe u need to install using gdebi for dependencies resolver [16:33] rns, if you're not root, you won't be able to install either from the repos or from a downloaded package [16:34] Action : i can't find the page so fast, but i download the driver [16:34] and try to install is [16:34] glebihan, is there I can build this from source? I am trying to install mscorefonts === __mikem is now known as mmiller235 [16:34] rns: btw, why do you want those ms-ttfs on a server? [16:34] escott: thanks; so on to plan b: what's the simplest way for me to sub colons for hyphens in this passel o files? [16:34] idsme: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [16:34] rns, you may be able to build the package, not to install it [16:34] :( [16:34] llutz: good point [16:35] nearst: no such user [16:35] babble, rename [16:35] rns: if you really need that package, ask your admin to install it [16:35] babble, maybe combined with find [16:35] Acrion [16:35] Action : Your ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=57748e0cd82d46ece2b6d42cf1633b3697078d35 [16:36] yeah; I wanna grep all the colons, and do... what? Heh. Sorry, I REALLY am a n00b [16:36] idsme: is the correct audio device set in sound preferences, you have a lot of audio output devices [16:36] nearst: its on a vps and just install ubuntu 6.06. [16:37] idsme: I also suggest disabling the onboard sound card to reduce possible devices. [16:37] yeah, i tried, al the devies, [16:37] idsme: you have an onboard intel sound chip as well as the Creative garbage you probably just installed [16:37] danii3: owh.. on vps :s [16:37] only my logitsch headset is working [16:37] idsme: if you unplug the headset, is it better [16:37] danii3: you don't want to use 6.06 [16:37] when i switch it to X-fi [16:38] nothng happen === herton_ is now known as herton [16:38] idsme: disable the onboard sound card and unplug the headset, may help [16:38] babble, so rename will take a regex rename 's/:/_/' *.img, but if they are spread across directories you need to find . -iname "*.img" -exec rename 's/:/_/' {} \; [16:38] babble, do check that the rename is working correctly because i dont know rename that well [16:39] hello [16:39] llutz: how about centos 5? i just want to run windows programs and need a gui because i dont understand anything [16:39] Hi can anyone tell me how can I fix a top toolbar : http://i.imgur.com/h4hyj.png ? [16:39] i unplug the usb, and disable the onboard card [16:39] Hello, does anyone know of a realistic flight simulator for Ubuntu besides flightgear? [16:39] danii3: " i just want to run windows programs" so you want a windows system, not a linux [16:40] llutz: yes [16:40] lol [16:40] danii3: neither centos nor ubuntu are windows [16:40] robro: playdeb site may have one [16:40] llutz: can i use wine? [16:40] escott: thank you very much :) [16:41] 30:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium series [EMU20k2] (rev 03) [16:41] danii3: if you want windows, why not install windows? [16:41] danii3: maybe, ask in #winehq [16:42] km0201: because the vps service provider didnt want to give me windows :-( [16:42] idsme: did you check compatibility with Ubuntu before buying the device? Creative hate Linux and refuse to support the OS [16:42] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I already checked there [16:42] danii3: change to a different provider [16:42] danii3: what apps do you need? [16:42] danii3: that would be my suggestion, get a new provider. [16:42] danii3: and tbh, if a vps-provider offers ubuntu-6.06, you really shouldn't pay him [16:42] yeah, on my last configuration it works fine, but reinstall my computer... [16:43] 6.06? [16:43] and now, it's doesn't work anymore [16:43] llutz/km0201: its free. i dont want to waste it [16:43] good luck finding anything for that === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:43] danii3: what apps do you need? [16:43] 6.06 - rock solid stable, more ancient than Debian Stable [16:43] :p [16:43] danii3: if you're using 6.06, you're gonna find very very little that works w/ that at this point. [16:43] actionparsnip: i need remote desktop, mozilla firefox [16:43] danii3: 6.06 is dated, dead, stinks. no updates, no security fixes since ages. you don't want to use that [16:43] 6.06 has been EOL for ages [16:44] danii3: firefox runs native in Ubuntu, why do you need wine for that? [16:44] MrNthDegree: Server support just ended on June 1st of this year. [16:44] heh. OS X has made me lazy; I'm used to naming stuff with colons and slashes with abandon and trusting that bad chars will get HTML-escaped automatically.

[16:45] danii3: just use X forwarding, you don't need the full desktop if you just want a web browser [16:45] Pici, and support of the whole distro ended in 2009 [16:45] babble, im not sure that html escaping filenames is anything close to correct [16:45] danii3: you can use VNC over SSH and get the desktop but it will lag [16:45] escott: OS X does on copy to hfs-old volumes. [16:45] babble, if i want a : in my filename its because i want a : in my filename [16:45] Pici, server support is less than 30% of the distro methinks [16:45] or ufs volumes or whatnot [16:46] MrNthDegree: The repositories were still online for everything until that date though. [16:46] escott: I understand what you're saying, but earlier versions of HFS/HFS+ use colons for directory separators. [16:46] babble, pre-osx sure [16:46] ok thanx [16:46] escott: which is why MacOS Old would complain if you named them as such [16:46] actionparsnip: i feel very insecure without any gui, will want to use vnc, oh i forgot. i need to run vmware and some .exe on it [16:47] babble, does it still complain these days? [16:47] escott: no, because it HTML-entitizes things like forward slashes or colons for you, depending on the filesystem you're writing to [16:48] danii3, xnest/ssh is a decent remote desktop solution, google up on it [16:48] danii3: vnc has the VIC so you don't need GUI for that either [16:48] danii3: running a desktop on a server makes it less secure, use more resources and take longer to boot [16:48] babble, so it would complain. weird [16:48] escott: back in OS 9 and earlier, sure. [16:49] escott: bearing in mind, the internals of OS 9 were essentially not very different from System 6/7 in 1986. [16:49] hello, I have ubuntu server installed and I am logged in via ssh. I would like to extract the /etc/network/interfaces file from the server and save it locally. Is there a guide for me to follow to accomplish this? [16:50] babble, i've never used macs, just dont see the appeal. in any case didn't know that restriction was present [16:50] rsr, scp user@host:/etc/network/interfaces . [16:50] 'complain' is the wrong word, maybe. it would barf a dialog at you telling you colons were Bad To Use and rename it with a hyphen [16:50] rsr: mongy's command should be run from your local computer, so exit ssh. [16:50] then OS X just twiddled it behind the scenes as needed and you named crap whatever you wanted to in the GUI [16:50] rsr, ugh, yeah what ^pici said [16:52] mongy/actionparsnip: thanks. will find out more now. rather overwhelmed [16:52] Action : http://paste.ubuntu.com/670205/plain/ [16:52] Hi everyone!

I know on one of my PC's (also an old msi).. if i dn't have that, the usb keyboard/mouse don't work [17:02] i forget exactly where it is in the BIOS, but it's in there somewhere [17:02] Yes, i have USB legacy support enabled, if I disable it tthe mouse and keyboard dont work anymore even on windows [17:03] bo delov HoN na Gigabyte NV GT430?

Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [17:09] i tried everything [17:09] amaliaa: What does lspci say about it? Paste the line here.

[17:10] but still nothing [17:10] there isn't any wlan* [17:10] on network manager [17:11] amaliaa: How does lspci identify it? [17:11] pkuk: classic doesn't use compiz, it uses metacity (as far as I know). You could always use a different desktop [17:11] the most funny part is that it worked with an older version [17:11] with exactly same procedure [17:11] quit [17:11] amaliaa: is it USB based or PCI based? [17:11] USB. [17:11] ActionParsnip, classic can also use compiz depending the settings (I don't which is the default) [17:11] ubuntu isn't launched right now [17:11] amaliaa: ok run: lsusb what is the line which identifies the device?

[17:17] blognewb, try lubuntu [17:17] blognewb: The processor is fine, but you need to do RAM upgrade. 512 is minimum IMO, 1G is very good. [17:18] http://pastebin.com/fjNUhhjx [17:18] is there a program that shows your total data usage for each session, im getting a new smart phone and i wanted to use it for tethering [17:18] blognewb: Oh you can install it, but for good prefomance, I would put some more RAM in it.

It's your choice. [17:21] thanks guys, my other question is, the computer is currently partitioned with edubuntu + XP in it, how do i do a clean slate to install Lubuntu [17:21] there is in ubutu depot however since i don't get network connectivity it's over [17:21] hi, i need some help with /sbin [17:21] blognewb: You mean you just want to use the whole drive? [17:21] how much is a 256 MB ram these days [17:22] lawl [17:22] usr13 yeah well i wanna clean everything before i install this [17:22] blognewb: Pretty cheap. You can get 512MB pretty cheap nowdays.

[17:22] 8 gb ddr3-1333 cost €28 [17:22] blognewb: The installer will do that for you. Just run the install and it will wipe the whole drive if you want.

I have another computer with ubuntu installed, when I power it on I can only get to the login screen. After that I get "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/dddbmt/.ICEauthority". [17:23] then im allowed to log back in with ctn-f7 [17:23] is HoN safe game, so i can't get any malware on something like that on my ubuntu? [17:23] blognewb: boot to the install media, format the Edubuntu partition(s) and install Lubuntu. Be sure to backup the data you need [17:23] lolmatic oh cool. How do i know how much i can upgrade this computer? it's a refurb with no specs barebones [17:23] blognewb: well i dont know what hardware u have [17:23] i chmod/chown'd perms in /sbin, im positive, so i need to know what perms people have in /sbin [17:23] can someone pastebin me ls -al /sbin [17:23] Hi, I've edited my .profile file, but seemingly it's never run.

[17:25] My netbook is using it's SWAP, but there's enough RAM (not all ram is being used). In the netbook is a slowly SSD, which makes the netbook unusable when it's using it's swap (almost all of the time). Is there any way to fix this?

[17:40] ActionParsnip in terms of speed? [17:40] blognewb: not seen any slowness personally [17:40] ok [17:40] BluesKaj: I already compild the package, what do you mean? [17:40] blognewb: I use LXDE on all my systems so sidestep a lot of the gnome stuff [17:40] g0th: What packages break it? [17:40] libavformat52 [17:40] dddbmt, whoami [17:40] e.g. [17:40] it requires version 1.0~... something [17:41] blognewb: my 11.04 vm performs well enough that I typicaly ignore the windows 7 host it is running on. [17:41] which comes after 1.0git alphabetically unfortunately [17:41] escott, dddbmt [17:41] usr he wants ti onstall git mplayer version which supposedly has more options and bugs fixes [17:41] install [17:41] dddbmt_, is the partition mounted read-only? [17:41] actually it is mplayer2 but nevermind [17:41] escott, how do I test that? [17:41] the issue is with this version number [17:42] dddbmt, `moun` [17:42] dddbmt, `mount` [17:42] escott, with plings? [17:42] g0th: Sorry, I just don't know, would have to know what 1.0~... something is. All I know is that mplayer works ok on my system. [17:42] dddbmt, without === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [17:43] How come every time I try to do an upgrade to natty that includes a kernel upgrade, the upgrade fails and this is what happens when I try to fix it: http://pastebin.com/mSN9YyXn ??? [17:43] usr13: I want to install mplayer2 git, I ask how to do this [17:43] [17:43] usr13: the problem is that the version name is lower than the one of the mplayer in the ubuntu repository, so it complains [17:44] is there a proper way to circumwent that? [17:44] bluesfreak72: looks like the archive is corrupt? [17:44] escott, what do you want to see? [17:44] a "hack" would be to change the version in mplayer2 git to be higher than the ubuntu version but that's ugly [17:44] (Cant copy paste, since I'm writing from another machine) escott [17:44] @ StevenR - Is there anything I can do on my end to fix the archive? [17:44] dddbmt_, just the mount options for the relevant partition you dont have a /home so / [17:45] Natty: I've got System->Preferences->Power Management Display: Put display to sleep when inactive for 0:10, but the monitors never turn off. How does one set the power save on the monitors to make them turn off when not in use? [17:45] escott, x11vnc -nopw -display :0 via ssh on the remote machine, and then gtkvncviewer on my machine did the trick =) [17:45] bluesfreak72: I'd look at clearing the downloaded archive so apt downloads it again... there's apt-get clean or something [17:45] bluesfreak72: Looks like there was a problem with the file. [17:46] bluesfreak72: linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic_2.6.38-11.48_i386.deb [17:46] ghoul, i guess you had xhost set so that xauthority wasnt required === Calinou is now known as users === users is now known as Calinou [17:46] usr13: I know that file is the issue. [17:46] didn't have to set any env vars, and display was the one via commandline [17:46] g0th: increment the epoch number in the version string? [17:46] escott, /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) ? [17:46] FIGURE OUT THAT problem? [17:47] bluesfreak72: sudo apt-get clean [17:47] dddbmt_, we must be missing something but im not sure what. the permissions i've seen look ok [17:47] oh the "2:" ? [17:47] g0th: ( http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version has the details if you don't know what an epoch number is) [17:47] g0th: yeah [17:47] rwww: I never understood that [17:47] thx [17:48] Looks like sudo apt-get clean did the trick. [17:48] Thanks to StevenR :) [17:49] rww: this is supposed to be change in the git repo? [17:49] escott, it stopped working after I turned of "Ask for password on login". Don't know if that has anything to do with it, though. [17:49] dddbmt_, did you enable encrypted home [17:49] g0th: you'd change it in the package you're making from mplayer git, yes. [17:50] escott, No I didn't. It might have been enabled before that though - I don't remember. [17:50] dddbmt_, because you cannot have encrypted home and autologin [17:50] dddbmt_, in mount does it say anything about ecryptfs [17:50] escott, is there a way to turn off autologin command line? [17:50] escott, yes it does. Want me to paste? [17:51] rww: ok, so I tell them to update that accordingly? [17:51] rww: do you know where the version is specified? [17:51] bluesfreak72: hurrah :) [17:51] dddbmt_, no need. you have to disable autologin [17:51] g0th: in the package control file at debian/control [17:51] escott, do you know how I do that command line? [17:52] dddbmt_, autologin creates a file in /etc/gdm/ or something i cant remember where [17:52] rww: ok thanks === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [17:52] Thanks, StevenR and usr13.!!! [17:52] dddbmt_, ask the channel what file you need to remove to disable autologin [17:52] alternately you should be able to login now, and you may then be able to remove the file (because you are logged in on the terminal) [17:54] Hi #ubuntu. Which file should be deleted in order to disable autologin? [17:54] dddbmt_: you don't delete a file, you just edit a file [17:54] Hello [17:54] how can i turn off software updates after doing an update, where the kernel sources keep asking me to update, for which i do not want to yet...? i come from redhat update and there was a config file that i could specify NOT to include kernel* updates? [17:54] hi, i need some help with /sbin when i lock the screen in gnome desktop, i am not able to log back in. i have to goto single user mode, killall gnome-screensaver then im allowed to log back in with ctn-f7 i chmod/chown'd perms in /sbin, im positive, so i need to know what perms people have in /sbin can someone pastebin me ls -al /sbin so i can compare i really dont feel like reinstalling... [17:54] thats 2 questions [17:54] ActopmParsnip, could you tell me more about it? Or maybe a link to a guide? [17:55] dddbmt_: use tab to complete nicks ;) [17:55] dddbmt_: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. [17:56] ActionParsnip, thanks for the tip ;) I only see custom.conf and gdm.schemas (among other files) [17:56] dddbmt_, custom.conf [17:56] dddbmt_: are you using Ubuntu or are you using KUbuntu? [17:56] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu. [17:57] dddbmt_, nuke custom.conf (you can cat it and see exactly what it does) [17:57] dddbmt_: http://maxolasersquad.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-setup-auto-login-in-ubuntu-at.html [17:57] I need help here.I am trying to get my smartphone into recovery mode on ubuntu. Anyone help? [17:58] SeCuRe_: do you mean access it in Ubuntu recovery mode? [17:58] ActionParsnip, AutomaticLoginEnable=false, AutomaticLogin=. That is the _current_ settings. [17:58] No. I am trying to work with SUDO [17:58] escott, nuke as in delete? [17:58] here is prodecure http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Last_Resort_Emergency_BootLoader_Recovery#OMAP_boot_Procedure [17:59] dddbmt_, yes delete it, although if it has auto login disabled right now... [17:59] SeCuRe_: If you add your user to the admin group it will get sudo access [17:59] I just downloaded the TAR file and linux drivers but when i type sudo omap3_usbload boot.bin it returns with command not found [17:59] SeCuRe_, full path to binaries outside of $PATH [18:00] ActionParsnip : How do I gonna add my name to admin group? [18:00] ActionParsnip, you agree that I should try to delete custom.conf ? === mang0 is now known as mang0|DINNER [18:00] SeCuRe_: in the root recovery mode is one way, what does omap3_usbload boot.bin do? [18:00] dddbmt_: not sure, never really messed with that stuff [18:01] ActionParsnip, I'll let you know what happens then ;) [18:01] escott: I just installed the ubuntu and very new to it. How do i know the path? [18:01] sudo ls is not working also. DIR commands also... [18:01] dddbmt_, look at the contents of it. they should be fairly safe to remove [18:01] SeCuRe_: does this help: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Last_Resort_Emergency_BootLoader_Recovery [18:01] dddbmt_: you can always move the file instead, if it's bad you can always move it back [18:02] SeCuRe_, echo $PATH (but root has a different $PATH). in any case you have to have the path as /home/username/Downloads/whatever/omap_blah.bin [18:02] ActionParsnip, too late ;) but thanks for the tip! [18:02] dddbmt_: moving and renaming is always better, it allows you to roll back [18:02] how i do update the bios [18:02] ActionParsnip: OMAP3..bin makes the phone to get into recovery mode from USB. [18:02] hack27: what make and model system? [18:03] hack27, specific to the manufacturer and generally done through windows [18:03] ActionParsnip, yeah - I see your point :) [18:03] SeCuRe_: the guide may help, it has some command and such [18:03] anyone know where i can find the realtek drivers for the RTL8188CE chipset for kernel 3.0? [18:03] so do you want me to get in Ubuntu recovery mode and try sudo command again? [18:03] tab1293: oneiric support is in #ubuntu+1 [18:04] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu does not accept the commands. Example sudo omap3.bin [18:04] it says command not found [18:04] hack27: some dell BIOSs can be updated in Ubuntu [18:04] SeCuRe_, because it is not in the path. full path required [18:05] SeCuRe_, it doesn't know where to look for this omap3.bin you have to tell it where /home/me/Download/omap3.bin or ./omap3.bin (if your terminal pwd is where the file is) [18:05] escott, ActionParsnip, the thing is that nautilus is complaining that it can't create /home/dddbmt/Desktop - but it allready exists. [18:05] where does apt-get store its APT:: config files from Perl? [18:05] same with .nautilus [18:06] dddbmt_, no its because when it tries to auto-login your ecryptfs mount isn't up and running [18:06] my db backup is making any access to my site inaccessible, how to I change the nice list to -10 for mysqld and apache2 [18:06] dddbmt_, you can't do autologin and encrypted home. the login is what decrypts the home [18:06] Hello all. I am still getting used to narwhal and unity. One problem I have is that whenever usb devices are connected to my machine, booting hangs. I assume this is a boot device preference thing, anyone know where to fix it? [18:06] escott: Now the file is in the desktop. I will try sudo omap3_usbload boot.bin /home/user/desktop right? [18:06] SeCuRe_, "Desktop" but yes [18:07] escott, okay I see. But since the custom.conf didn't do anything - do you have anymore suggestions? [18:07] dddbmt_: is it owned by your user? [18:07] dddbmt_, did you reboot or sudo service gdm restart after removing custom.conf [18:08] escott, "reboot now". [18:08] ActionParsnip, ls -l for /home says that my user is owner and group. [18:08] dddbmt_, give it a try. hopefully it brings up the login screen [18:09] Good morning from Thailand! [18:09] escott, Give what a try? I get to the login screen fine - but when I click my account it just log in, instead of asking for password. === ozior_ is now known as ozior [18:10] dddbmt_, thats no good. the password is required to unwrap the ecryptfs key. if you aren't being asked for the password you won't be able to access your files [18:10] i dont have a dell [18:10] can someone pastebin me - ls -al /sbin [18:10] i hosed up some perms [18:10] ActionParsnip, escott - "ls -ld" for /home says root is user and group ? [18:11] oly562: http://paste.ubuntu.com/670271/ [18:11] escott, yeah I've realized that. But how to get it to prompt me for passsword? === darl_x is now known as dark_x [18:11] oly562: why are you messing with it anyway? [18:11] cd [18:12] dddbmt_, /home is 755 root:root /home/me 755 me:me (but 700 is also ok for /home/me but not /home) [18:12] thanks ActionParsnip === \l is now known as luigi [18:12] oh i made a script, and ran it in /sbin rather in dir i wanted too... lol [18:12] !pt [18:12] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[18:13] i had ln -s the script from there, but i ran it while in /sbin lol [18:13] escott: I came with no success. When type sudo ls i see the omap file under user(cnyt) directory but when type sudo omap3_usbload boot.bin /home/cnyt i still get command not found [18:14] SeCuRe_, sudo /home/cnyt/omap3_usbload [18:14] escott, "ls -l /home" says drwx ---- ---- me:me. "ls -ld /home" says drwx --xr ---x root:root [18:15] bonsoir [18:15] dddbmt, ie /home/me is 700 me:me and /home is 755 root:root so it perms are ok [18:15] escott : no success again :/ [18:15] je voudrais savoir comment ca fonctionne!

I have turned ON autologin with encrypted /home. Removing /etc/gdm/custom.conf didn't disable it. [18:21] dddbmt_: no sorry [18:21] dddbmt_, llutz makes a good point is it. those permissions don't look correct it should be rwxr-xr-x for /home [18:21] ok! thank you [18:21] dddbmt_, the key is it MUST ask you for your password === joru_ is now known as joru [18:21] I have a question.

[18:25] rww: thanks [18:26] with commas? [18:26] oly562: yes [18:26] tanks ;) [18:26] SeCuRe_, there is no bin file in that bolder. there is a .c file you need to compile first [18:26] oly562, yes... i dont know how to do g+s along with the 755 [18:26] i got it!

[18:31] when I open a file dialog box it doesn't actually show, just displays whatever was in the background rather than the dialog box and I have to log out to get anywhere [18:32] i already have my update set to not install/download whatever, but i did do a mild upgrade, without kernels,,, it keeps popping up, how to make it stop [18:32] I need help with Zorin. It's Lubuntu based. My installation is super slow even though a day ago it was working fine. [18:32] where is the update-manager conf file?

"Zorin" isn't a supported derivative. [18:33] brb [18:33] thanks escott! [18:33] gstnet, have you tried for (( i=1; i<=var; i++ )); do ... ; done [18:33] How do I get help if Zorin OS has no irc channel? [18:33] whats zorin? sounds like something outta the movie "Big" with tom hanks [18:33] what command runs the mysql requests [18:33] oh wait that was zoltar [18:34] Zorin: No idea. Go look on the website you got it from, and consider things like this when choosing a derivative. [18:34] whats a derivative rww? [18:34] Okay. [18:34] when I open a file dialog box it doesn't actually show, just displays whatever was in the background rather than the dialog box and I have to log out to get anywhere [18:34] oly562: a distribution based on another distribution. e.g. Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. [18:34] ah ic [18:34] flavor? [18:35] oly562: also known as that, yes [18:35] i like mint chocolate chip :) [18:35] sup [18:36] kinda like redhat and fedora, ic, interesting term this derivative [18:36] Guess nobody knows [18:36] Wabbott9: ? [18:37] so where can i find the config file for update-manager for my issue [18:37] when I open a file dialog box it doesn't actually show, just displays whatever was in the background rather than the dialog box and I have to log out to get anywhere [18:37] Wabbott9: huh? [18:37] I've been having a problem with dialog boxes [18:37] Wabbott9: not following, sorta, explain a bit more? what kinda dialog box? [18:38] properties dialog boxes?? [18:38] File open or save boxes. When they open, they don't actually show === _pr0t0type__ is now known as _pr0t0type_ === xiamx_ is now known as xiamx === nosrepa is now known as aperson === Juo_ is now known as Juo === BobZhome_ is now known as BobZhome [18:38] wow lol.. what was that! [18:38] !netsplit [18:38] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [18:38] cool [18:38] never know that split [18:38] i guess so [18:39] is that some pharana process for irc? [18:40] oly562: I don't know what "pharana" means, but netsplits are caused by the IRC servers having trouble talking to each other [18:40] rww: kinda like an LVS process for traffic control or failover... [18:40] parhania the fish spelled,i never can spell that word === remi_ is now known as remsSs03 [18:41] rww: kinda like a virtual router process based on response/get/ack from defined alias IP that two servers require to prevent failover,,, [18:42] opps prompt failover [18:42] hello everibodi [18:42] most webserver farms have some appliance or failover process, or some function to push data to next available service provided [18:42] oly562: if you want to ask, you can check in #freenode. Ops don't respond/prompt for failover, the servers handle the disconnection. [18:43] oly562: no, it's entirely unrelated to that [18:43] so its an internal service mechanism not related to routing, ie netsplit, i wonder why they chose the term Net to be included.... [18:43] i want to find out which package installs the file "mail.ini" (PHP5) /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mail.ini . But could not find anything with either dlocate or apt-file. Is that really something that must have been created manually? [18:44] I need to install a few packages on another computer with Ubuntu, Where are the downloaded packages saved? So that I can copy them over to the other computer and install them.

Do I need a jre running in wine, or will wine see my already installed jre? [18:56] craigbass1976, probably need a jre running in wine [18:56] craigbass1976: You will need to install the windows jre in wine. [18:56] What is a good torrent client for Ubuntu? [18:56] craigbass1976: What are you actually trying to run? [18:56] Grav: Transmission [18:56] craigbass1976: also, #winehq may be of help for that [18:57] Jordan_U: booting without usb devices attached is a breeze. No problems.

I'm trying to ditch my windows box at work, and the last piece of the puzzle is a kitchen design program. I don't want to bother with the one we currently use, and an alternative was written in Java. I tried running the mac version a few months ago, to no avail, now I'm thinking of the windows version with wine [18:58] I just don't want to unplug wireless mouse and keyboard every time I boot. [18:58] megaloman: Ok, what happens when you try to boot with USB devices? [18:58] Travis-42: applying what? [18:58] so where can i find the config file for update-manager? anyone? [18:58] Jordan_U: black screen. Hangs there indefinitely. [18:58] ActionParsnip, while configuring linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic [18:58] megaloman: add in /etc/rc.local a command to unload the module(s), then reload straight after. May help [18:59] Travis-42: can you pastebin the text please [18:59] craigbass1976: It's a java app, what happens when you try to run it from a linux JRE? [18:59] oly562: what are you trying to configure with update-manager? [18:59] megaloman: Do you see any messages before the blank screen? [18:59] ActionParsnip: do you now how to stop update-manager from bothering me about update-mananger pop ups? [18:59] evenin all [18:59] h00k: that right there [19:00] oly562: remove the startup itemand it should go [19:00] i know in redhat i could uncomment so to speak kernel* with up2date, i wonder if the same option or similar [19:00] ActionParsnip: itemand? [19:00] oly562: I don't know what that means [19:00] Jordan_U: I just see an underscore cursor top right blinking until even that goes away. I'm pretty new and figure dmesg might be a way to get more info, but don't know what to look for. [19:01] oly562: "item and". ActionParsnip missed a space. [19:01] ActionParsnip: its not i dont want want update-manager to stop, but rather stop updating kernel/headers/linux* [19:01] oh lol [19:01] got it [19:01] ActionParsnip: I don't know which modules you mean. I'm pretty green. [19:01] megaloman: Is this before or after grub loads? Does this happen when the connected USB devices are not hard drives? [19:01] ActionParsnip, The details box from the update manager doesnt appear to be copy pastable, so here's a screenshot.... http://oi54.tinypic.com/2hgg35x.jpg [19:01] oly562: in the update manager, click the 'settings' button, and then the 'Updates' tab [19:02] k [19:02] sb.. [19:02] Jordan_U: definitely happens when the connected devices aren't hard drives. Tested that. [19:02] yep h00k [19:02] and.. [19:02] Jordan_U: I don't know whether grub loaded or not. What would give me a clue? [19:02] megaloman: If you hold shift during boot do you see the grub menu (with USB devices connected)? [19:03] CrusaderAD: Thanks. I will use transmission [19:03] oly562: perhaps try not having it check for updates automatically [19:03] release upgrades NEVER? [19:03] oly562: alternatively, install the updates [19:03] h00k: thats been done already.. it still nags me about kernel [19:03] I will have to try that. I should probably login here with my other computer. [19:03] NO [19:03] your not getting my question.... === slacker_1l is now known as slacker_nl [19:03] ActionParsnip: any other suggestions? [19:04] Grav: no problem, it's a great program [19:04] oly562: Please settle. I'm only trying to help. [19:04] to tune kernels to NOT be updated or checked...is that the NEVER selection in Software Sources? [19:04] anyone here with any experience with avahi ? [19:04] I can never seem to get ping hostname.local working properly [19:04] h00k: please try understanding my question first, reread it, and if you have worked with redhat or up2date in the past, you will know what i am asking, no offense [19:05] i wont repast, i will be breaking rules in #ubuntu [19:05] oly562: you can pin the kernel version and it won't be updated [19:05] ActionParsnip: whats pin? [19:05] oly562: man etc_preferences :) [19:05] megaloman: lsmod will list the modules, you can read and see what each does to see which to use [19:06] ok, let me try it this way,,, like i stated long ago.... sorry, maybe you missed it... === Milos|Netbook is now known as Milos|N [19:06] Jordan_U: I'm logged in on my other computer as TrickyDick now. [19:06] Travis-42: not sure man, is there a bug reported [19:06] !pinning | oly562 [19:06] oly562: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [19:06] i recently updated all my packages that needed updating.... with Update Manager gui === Milos|N is now known as Milos|Netbook [19:06] Jordan_U: rebooting now. [19:06] Pici: @@ ahhhh thats what im looking for! [19:06] zackly [19:06] thanks.... === Milos|Netbook is now known as Milos|N [19:06] let me see if it is what i need,,, brb [19:07] oly562: look at the 'holding' part [19:07] earlier i asked about APT:: config file locations.... :| [19:07] Pici: k thanks [19:07] ActionParsnip, I don't know, I guess I'll check... but any idea what do to make sure everything isn't screwed up? I figure that the greyed out cancel button means that I'm not supposed to just kill the process and restart [19:08] /etc/apt/preferences, cool, it has priority numbering, nifty. === Milos|N is now known as Milos|isaway [19:09] Pici: that will work, thanks, also, is there a cmd line version of synaptic i can modify if im headless? [19:09] oly562: aptitude [19:09] oly562: apt-get [19:10] oly562: The instructions there include a method for holding using dpkg --set-selections [19:10] ok, last question, in Software Sources gui, what does Release Upgrade - show new distributions releases related too,,, if i select NEVER, will that not show the UPGRADE in update manager unsubdued? [19:10] hi! i have problems with internet. after a while (40min) my network losts and it happens regulary. then i click on network icon, reconnect to wifi and it's ok then. there is no problem with provider couse internet works great on other laptop [19:10] Pici: oh, col. thanks [19:10] awesome [19:10] see, i knew someone had the answer [19:10] thanks, thats all for today, l8 [19:11] oly562: It stops looking for updates No more updates. [19:11] anyone know an app that can spider a url and recursively generate a list of urls within that website ? [19:11] daavis: so you have 2 laptops connecting to a router, then that to the internet>? [19:12] yea, Dr_Willis [19:12] which bonding is good... [19:12] can anyone explain the rationale of preferring apt-get over aptitude? [19:12] rohdef: there isn't one. [19:12] rohdef: ive never really seen much need for aptitude over apt-get either. :) [19:13] someone will occanisally mention handleds depends better, or other reasons.. [19:13] Dr_Willis, apart from automatically removing old packages, which creates a less bloated system [19:13] daavis: Does it happen when it hibernates? [19:13] rohdef: both apt-get and aptitude can do that [19:14] i was thinking that in recent years the 2 have basically gotten identical feature sets. [19:14] rohdef: apt-get is installed by default and aptitude isn't (for space reasons). [19:14] rww, true, but in apt-get you need to invoke extra commands [19:14] Jordan_U: It isn't a problem with non-Sata devices unless I try to boot to SATA, that fails, and I shut off and try again with other devices. No grub menu when there is a problem. [19:14] also aptitude has a ncurses ui per default === ajf|offline is now known as ajf [19:14] whenever I connect via SSH to a machine in my local network (DHCP) it always offends the key list since the IPs change. Can I somehow change this for my local network? [19:15] that's my reasons for aptitude, but I've been wondering if there was some good reasons that I shouldn't use aptitude too [19:15] systemclient: you could reserve the same IPs for machines on your network [19:15] rohdef: They both do the same thing basically. [19:15] usr13, hibernate ? what this word means [19:15] h00k: I do not want to static-IP my little VM zoo … [19:15] TrickyDick: It sounds like a simple problem that you have a drive somewhere that contains a broken bootloader, and somtimes your BIOS is booting from that drive. [19:15] rohdef: I don't think it hurts anything. [19:15] !bootinfo | TrickyDick [19:15] TrickyDick: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [19:15] usr13, basically true :) but when nearly every example on the net you see is based on apt-get you start to wonder :) [19:16] systemclient: you wouldn't have to statically IP it, you could just set reservations on whatever is serving your DHCP [19:16] h00k: I do not understand. how does that work= [19:16] rohdef: beacuse ubuntu has apt-get, rather than aptitude by default, probably. === Milos|isaway is now known as Milos|Netbook [19:17] hi, anyone knows where's the manual of theme.lua of awesome ? i cant find anything about theme.lua on this manual │ aupo [19:17] but well if it's just at matter of preference I'll just stick to aptitude [19:17] rohdef: but people argue that aptitude is better than apt-get [19:17] daavis: http://truejournals.com/2009/10/13/suspend-vs-hibernate/ [19:17] rohdef: I like aptitude too [19:17] Jordan_U: Thanks. [19:17] rohdef: especially since you can browse through the packages [19:17] systemclient: You set a 'reservation' on your DHCP server, leave your client computers set to DHCP. When they broadcast and look for an IP (DHCP), the DHCP server will always respond to them with the same IP, so it's like being set statically, but the machines still use DHCP. [19:17] hi, anyone knows where's the manual of theme.lua of awesome ? i cant find anything about theme.lua on this manual http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/index.html [19:17] rohdef: apt-get is the prefered method. [19:17] systemclient: it's done on the DHCP server by MAC address [19:18] h00k: okay, that makes sense. Is there some way to tell SSH I do not want that security feature? [19:18] TrickyDick: You're welcome. If you pastebin the RESULTS.txt I can confirm or scratch my hypothesis. [19:18] rohdef: I don't use aptitude, I only use apt-get I recommend apt-get [19:18] systemclient, I think I'll prefer to say it's matter of taste then [19:18] usr13: how come? [19:18] systemclient: you want to use "StrictHostKeyChecking = ask" in ssh_config [19:18] rohdef: correct [19:18] systemclient: what llutz said ;) [19:18] anyone use awesome ? need help on theme.lua [19:19] rohdef: same with git vs. bazaar and vim vs. emacs :) [19:19] llutz: I'll check it out [19:20] systemclient, heh yeah tools can create stupid flamewars, but people some times have good reasons too :) === Milos|Netbook is now known as Milos|Netbook_ [19:20] systemclient: Partly because of what rohdef pointed out, it is most widely used, most others use it, most how-to's use it, it is simplier to only use apt-get and not alternete between the two, there are a number of reasons. === Milos|Netbook_ is now known as Milos|Netbook [19:20] rohdef: for starters I think that git/bzr is way better svn, but that is just me [19:21] usr13: hmm, once you know both, I guess you can use aptitude without a problem [19:21] systemclient, agreed [19:21] quit [19:21] anyone use awesome ? need help on theme.lua [19:21] Jordan_U, it didn't run back when I tried the mac version a few months ago; I think it's still making calls to OS specific stuff. [19:22] Laputa: A quick search shows they have a channel on another network for support. [19:22] Laputa: http://awesome.naquadah.org/community/ [19:23] Host 192.168.0.* StrictHostKeyChecking no [19:24] systemclient: I used to use aptitude too. I just don't find any need for it anymore. It is easier simplier to keep the how-to's relating to apt-get and not going back and forth between aptitude and apt-get as it just adds a layer of undue complication / confusion to new users when one says apt-get and another says aptitude. [19:24] usr13: true, others argue that aptitude seems more unified that apt-{cache,get} and so on. But I agree with you. [19:26] Jordan_U: Here is the result of that bootinfo script. http://pastebin.com/WNE0FVML [19:26] h00k: thanks , im gonna check that === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [19:27] is there a way to set ubuntu so it shows the grub loader? i dont see it when i boot. i just get post screens and then gnome loading [19:27] systemclient: you'd maybe add a "UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null" for that ip-range too [19:28] systemclient: "CheckHostIP no" also could be handy [19:28] llutz: thanks! [19:28] why would screen keep resizing my terminal to a certain size when i attach? it does not seem to save the last size or adjust to the current size [19:29] llutz: hostip no seems like the perfect thing [19:30] systemclient: lots of options, pick the best for your situation :) [19:30] DrArcheh: see the -A option [19:31] hello, my browser speed recently becoming very slow, takes awhile to load even simple pages, any solutions? im using ubuntu 10.10 [19:31] llutz: the checkhostip is the perfect one, so it still checks the key, but not the IP -- what I wanted :) [19:31] hi [19:32] i think here is empty [19:32] widewake: look into the system monitor to see whether your CPU doen't do other things [19:32] 3 [19:32] widewake: and if your network is used like it should do [19:33] systemclient, cpu looks fine, 4-6 for mozilla [19:33] widewake: what about network, do you get the usage you would expect from your connection when you surf? === Guest42086 is now known as Logan_ [19:34] systemclient, 54 mbs, [19:35] Hey, i got a new WD My Book Harddrive. and I mounted the drive and can browse it, but i cannot copy anything to it. Get permission denied. It's formated ext4 and mounted rw. [19:35] widewake: that sounds like your WiFi [19:35] ##islam [19:35] widewake: I meant that if you surf the web, that you get some 300 kB/s or so? [19:36] tb: what's up with that? [19:36] nikitis: what user is the drive mounted with? can you write with a sudo? [19:37] systemclient: i can use sudo [19:37] systemclient: oh let me see if i can write [19:37] systemclient, its up and down, though looks efficient atm [19:37] nikitis: it might be a simple rights question [19:37] systemclient: yeah it's letting me as sudo. [19:37] widewake: I am just asking, maybe it is your WiFi or your internet connection that is slow [19:37] systemclient: how can i make it work as user? [19:37] nikitis: chown the mountdir to regular user [19:38] DasEi: did that [19:38] DasEi: when I mount it though it gets reowned by root [19:38] nikitis: sudo chown -R $USER /your/MountDir [19:38] nikitis: I heard of a way to ignore the rights on external drives [19:38] systemclient, kk, not sure what it is but i dont think its the wifi [19:39] it's weird cause it only does it on this drive. I have another drive that mouts fine [19:39] widewake: does it work with another browser? [19:39] nikitis: and oc lookup correct dir by mount [19:39] hi [19:40] systemclient, nope, slow as well [19:40] hi, i very like cigar of hemp, and you? [19:40] systemclient, it will get stuck randomly, one second it loads a page quickly, next its taking forever. its only recently its became a problem [19:40] widewake: okay, so it is not browser issue … do you have tried it on another computer [19:41] You like hemp's cigar? [19:41] widewake: sounds like when I am at the edge of my wireless … [19:41] Jordan_U: Still here...

[19:57] i am trying chmod [19:57] looks good SeCuRe_, run that chmod command like i said but run the omap3_usbload at your own risk mate [19:57] SeCuRe_: What the error message is telling you that omap_usbload is not a command. Now if it is a script or some sort of executable and you want to run it, you will more-than-likely need to set the executable bit on it. i.e. chmood +x omap3_usbload [19:57] make sure your stuff is backed up etc, as i'm not an expert on the webos stuff [19:57] hi, how can i check whether i915 module has KMS enabled [19:58] SeCuRe_, from what you've shown you have a omap3_usbload.c file but no omap3_usbload file, so you would have to compile it before you can run it [19:58] jeh [19:59] SeCuRe_: But be sure it is going to do something you really want it to do before you set the executable bit and run it. [20:00] Anyone around that could help me with an ubuntu server problem by chance? I'm pretty sure I must be doing something dumb [20:01] usr13 and pernig thanks but it didnt worked [20:01] Nvrnight: #ubuntu-server [20:01] glebihan how do i compile it? [20:01] Nvrnight: just ask your question [20:01] ty [20:02] I have a script that does "apt-get install apache2", says it cannot find the package, but when I run the same command in the terminal, it finds it just fine [20:02] SeCuRe_, use gcc (look at "man gcc" first) [20:02] Nvrnight, why do you want a script to do that ? [20:03] SeCuRe_: Did you read and follow the instructions on the URL you posted above? === puff` is now known as puff [20:03] Hi everyone. I have installed the package 'playdeb', but when I click the 'install this now', in order to install a game, my system doesnt know which application should open to install it... I also have no idea where to find the 'playdeb' application (path). Someone help? http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/all#how_to_install [20:03] because I want to build my machine up from scratch easily [20:04] and possibly new machines identical for different environments [20:04] Nvrnight, ok could you paste (use pastebin if several lines) the complete error message you are getting ? [20:04] Nvrnight: if you are going to do that you should really use something like puppet or cfengine [20:04] delkin: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [20:04] With anacron if I set my program to run weekly then go on holiday for a mounth when I turn the computer back on it wont run it several times at once will it? [20:05] usr13: I have ubuntu 11.04 [20:05] Guys how do i compile this file? [20:06] SeCuRe_, already told you, use gcc [20:06] glebihan, http://pastebin.com/G9eTyggi [20:06] delkin: Did you add the software soruce ? [20:06] usr13 i followed the steps over there and come to sudo step last [20:07] Nvrnight, and you script just contains "apt-get install apache2" ? [20:07] glebihan sorry didnt see it [20:07] delkin: YOu got it installed? Yes? Or are you still trying to install it? [20:07] Empathy seems to be having problems. I started it and changed my status to available, contacts aren't showing up. Tried to initiate a voice chat, the dialog just sat there, trying to connect, until I hung up. Is there some way to see more detail on what's going wrong? [20:07] usr13, I just installed the package 'playdeb' [20:07] yes [20:08] glebihan, and if I run the command right in the terminal, it works fine [20:08] what player will play apple lossless? [20:08] delkin: which playdeb #What does that say? [20:08] usr13, my synaptic manager has the package 'playdeb' installed. I downloaded it from the website. [20:09] delkin: You did not install it via the package manager? [20:09] Nvrnight: are you running the script as root? can you pastebin the script? [20:09] usr13, No, i didn't. The package says this: [20:09] This package adds the playdeb repository entry to your source list [20:09] and adds the respective GPG key. [20:10] SIFTU, I am using root, sudo su before running the script, and the entire script right now is just that one line I put into chat [20:10] delkin: see my pm [20:10] Nvrnight, don't use "sudo su" [20:10] SIFTU, also if I add sudo to the command in the script, it doesn't change anything [20:10] Nvrnight, use "sudo -i" instead [20:11] delkin: I think so far, you've only added the source [20:11] usr13, i think you might be right. What should I do? [20:11] Nvrnight: not even a shebang? [20:11] char, here is a link says they can http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/play-itunes-m4a-files-on-linux-ubuntu/ [20:11] glebihan, I just did sudo -i instead, no effect [20:12] delkin: Oh, you probably need to do sudo apt-get update first [20:12] SIFTU, the error I get is the same as the error that you would normally get if you spelled the package name wrong [20:12] Nvrnight, did you first quit the root shell ? [20:12] delkin: sudo apt-get update [20:12] Nvrnight: #!/bin/bash [20:12] SIFTU, got that on the first line [20:13] Nvrnight: well apache2 is a meta package.. what about apache2.2-bin or whatever [20:13] char, notice date though 2008 [20:13] delkin: And then, click on one of them. [20:13] still here and looking for help :/ [20:13] other ubuntu support channels? [20:13] SIFTU, I will just apache2.2-bin and see where that goes [20:13] SeCuRe_, just out of curiosity why do you want that app? [20:14] Nvrnight: what does "apt-cache search apache2" return? [20:14] Nvrnight: normally you dont use sudo in scripts except in special cases [20:14] Dr_Willis, I was just trying it to prove that that wasn't the cause [20:15] urlin2u it sends boot code my smartphone to get into recovery mode [20:15] what is nickserv ??? [20:15] SIFTU, a lot of output came from the "apt-cache search apache2" [20:15] Nvrnight: and is your package listed [20:15] bashelin: a service to allow someone to keep the same nick for a period of time. [20:15] bashelin: /msg nickserv help [20:15] SeCuRe_, ah thats right, I remember now, thanks ;) [20:15] anyone good with apache2 here ?? [20:15] i did all the steps on the website but when it comes to sudo it fails! [20:16] SIFTU, don't quite know how to check that, if "apt-get install apache2" works in the terminal, doesn't that mean it is? [20:16] SeCuRe_: Are you sure you did exactly as it said? [20:16] could someone help me interpret some rsync errors? it should not take long. if so where should i paste? [20:16] SeCuRe_, so it is the tar that needs compiling? [20:17] Yes I am sure [20:17] it created a file boot.bin but someone said omap3_usbload needs to be compiled [20:18] improveupon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [20:18] is there the default gnome-terminal profile somewhere? i've lost mine and am going mad having to stare at this shitty zenburn theme all day [20:18] is there any program for ubuntu that can find conflicts in the system.. between drivers and hardware and so on?

I dont know how it got there but I would like it gone. [20:37] Hi, where is the recommended dir to mount partitions in linux? /media for removable media, /mnt for temporary mounts according to fhs, no? [20:38] edgy: /media seems to be used today for every type of mounts [20:38] teage: control center -> assisting technologies -> uncheck "enable blablabla" [20:38] hi [20:38] what's a Linux equivalent of disklabel [20:39] edgy: correct. Linuxes commonly mount non-removable media that don't fit elsewhere in FHS into /media too, though (e.g. Windows partitions) [20:39] llutz, rww: but the problem with media is that you don't want to mix removable with non-removables, e.g I don't want to index the files in removable [20:40] llutz you still here .. sry I was drinking abit :P [20:40] edgy: then you'll have to pick your own place to mount, maybe not fhs-conform [20:40] hi im looking for help fixing apt-get, it has unmet dependancies, and ive tried using apt-get install -f but it wont fix the issue, I just posted the issue here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11168050#post11168050 along with the output from the commands im trying to run [20:40] edgy: another option I've seen is just throwing the mount straight in /. e.g. /windows [20:41] llutz I have now followed the guide without the authentication part (I have installed postfix 1-2 times before and didn't need to install libsasi2-1, sasl2-bin and libsasi2-modules)..so I have just tried to connect via telnet and AUTH with my email and password as in the sasl_passwd file but then I get this error message: Error: authentication failed: generic failure [20:43] edgy: Then make your own mountpoint wherever you want it, like '/windows' as rww or make your own '/non_removable_media/' with sudirectories. There generally shouldn't be any problems caused by having things mounted to "non standard" locations as long as you can keep track of them. [20:43] rww: that would clutter the root, mainly I want to mount a linux partition for storage, and I think the best bet is use /mnt instead of /media, unless I can include my partition in updatedb.conf and exclude everything else [20:43] edgy: I like /mnt as a temporary mountpoint, but if you don't use it for that, then go right ahead :) [20:44] Jordan_U: I know but I just want to understand why fhs doens't cater for it [20:44] edgy: It doesn't matter. /windows is just a shorter path than /mnt/windows === starlon_ is now known as starlon [20:45] edgy: My guess is that it's specifically because it doesn't tend to matter. Where you mount a given device tends to be less important to standardise than what the path is to given files, like /var/log/ or /etc/. [20:45] PING?

It makes sense to choose a multimedia parted(big files) with more? [20:56] llutz hm I don't even have it installed :/ .. do I really need that? I thought that postfix could just check a password file to know how to connect [20:57] llutz Im trying to just create a SMTP-Server that will connect to another SMTP-Server not create my own from scratch [20:57] I'm new to ubuntu and I'm trying to enable my 5.1 surround.

Any LVM experts around?

[21:03] PatrickC: You can install whatever packages you want on the livecd, if that's what you mean. [21:03] i think i messed up my httpd.conf ( on my apache2 installation ) [21:03] well, until you run out of room on the squashfs [21:03] the files is empty ( but my server still works [21:03] rww: without actually installing? [21:03] I used wubi [21:03] not livecd [21:03] is it possible that apache2.conf ( replaced the httpd.conf ) ? [21:03] SubjectOne: it's supposed to be empty.

[21:21] bolla3: Please ask in #python, as this is not Ubuntu specific. [21:21] ok, so i was sniffing around my /etc dir and i found a few files that are related to update and apt and found a few files that i was also referring to for headless configin of these files... like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05aptitude, 01autoremove, 10periodic... but more importantly where are the APT:: files/configs... that looks like Perl file naming conventions... any thoughts?

[21:22] anyfoo, ill keep reading,, just thought i would mention what i was finding out about ubuntu if others where interested in more cmdline stuff === pkuk is now known as apollo [21:23] urlin2u, can you take a look at the exact error im getting and maybe it will give you an idea of what I can try? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828867 [21:24] bonsoir [21:24] Can anyone here help me enable 5.1 surround sound?

I will try again now to make sure. [21:26] mfpockets, also try sudo dpkg --configure -a [21:26] doldrim, have you seen this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1630347 [21:26] mfpockets, oops disregard r the last hold on [21:27] lol, its already almost complete. should i break it?

[22:10] Zxcvb: You can also use bootchart to figure out what packages / portions of the boot are taking the longest. [22:11] I assume using sata drives is the fastest [22:11] Can someone help me completely uninstall Firefox 6.0 and Flash 64-bit?

But could not solve the problem [22:18] I mean its stuck in the open position [22:18] CTRL+ALT+F1 gives you awesome theme [22:19] Jasonn: resetting ccsm settings (compiz) or unity, would get back to defauilt settings. personally i set the panel to never hide via the ccsm tool,.

I would just prefer 64 [22:23] it asked if i wanted to install ubuntu alongside windows 7 but i assumed it would shrink my windows partition and install ubuntu on the same drive. Would it use the second drive with that option? [22:24] mahnaz: ctrl + h while in the file explorer [22:24] mahnaz: Thats the path to the file,.. what cant you find about it? [22:24] ubuntu_chris: You can pick which drive to install to. [22:24] thanks for the help [22:24] i cant find such directory [22:24] niche: Ok, did you enable the plugin and restart firefox [22:24] mahnaz, ~ represents your home directory [22:25] Jasonn, no matter what I try, Flash does not appear in the Plugins for Firefox add-ons [22:25] mahnaz: ITs a hidden folder, press ctrl + h when you are looking in your home dir [22:25] Jasonn, and yes.. I have restarted firefox and my computer many times [22:25] oh [22:25] do you have more than one version of flash installed?

[22:29] ubuntu_chris: you can. make users with differnt names... or you can get issues. [22:29] ubuntu_chris: Probably a bad idea. [22:29] Dr_Willis is correct - I was assuming same user. [22:29] same user can cause issues with differnt uid./gid on differnt disrtos. [22:29] Jasonn, thanks. Do you have a terminal command to install the standard firefox 6 and flash 64 bit? [22:30] Different config files for similar, but not identical, packages.

[22:30] neither is 64bit flash, [22:30] Dr_Willis, oh... well how about firefox 5 then [22:30] niche: Look in the ubuntu software center.

[22:31] hi, how do i tell if i have an IDE or SATA hard drive? [22:31] niche: Life is easier when you take the ubuntu road *more* traveled.

Using GNOME Ubuntu 10.10, have Firefox process that is running but can't be accessed from desktop/workspace. [22:31] Jasonn, the one in USC is version 3.6.... seriously, I don't want that [22:31] i had to change a bios option for my sata configuration from ide to raid to get ubuntu to boot. Should this affect windows 7 or will it still boot fine? [22:31] Jordan_U no, just ubuntu [22:31] niche: what version of ubuntu are you using>? [22:31] Jordan_U an upgrade from the internet [22:31] niche: Download it, and it will auto-update [22:31] Dr_Willis, 10.10 [22:31] Dr_Willis: is there an alternative way? [22:31] Dr_Willis: Firefox 6 is in the repositories as a stable release update. [22:31] niche: Its actually 4.0 [22:32] Jasonn, I just looked it up and it says 3.6 [22:32] Jasonn, in 10.10 I think it's still 3.6 [22:32] niche: Se, thats why you are having compatability issues, you are using a downloaded version of ff [22:32] Jasonn, I see. So if I download 3.6 you are saying it will automatically update to 5? [22:32] RA_drc: clarify what you mean. if you got 2 hds on the table,, the sata hd will have a little plug anbd the ide will have lots of pins..... === Space_Man is now known as Space_Man_ [22:32] SIFTU or anyone ;P I need one last help: i need to add font that has correct Spanish characters for Ubuntu or SMPLAYER ... subtitle give me wierd characters when spanish characters should appears. THANKS [22:33] Jordan_U what is jackd, and is it only in studio? [22:33] niche: I am saying that if you had 11.04, you would get 4.0, but would not be able to officially update to 5 or 6 from USC [22:33] niche, I you want a different version than the one in the repos, you should use one of firefox ppas [22:33] niche: But that is the easiest way to get it to work with flash [22:33] rredd4: Jackd is something which is required for serious audio production work. [22:33] UbuntuNewB: not sure on that one [22:33] Dr_Willis: let's say my hds are not on the table, but in my computer. is there a command i can use in ubuntu to see what sort of hard drive it is using? [22:33] easier would be use google chrome and its buit in flash,.,. [22:33] glebihan, ok, well I am a noob. How do I get one of the firefox ppas? [22:34] niche: You download it from the website [22:34] Jordan_U ok, thanks [22:34] RA_drc: you neglected to mention that little detail, ;0 try the various hwinfo tools i guess like.. [22:34] niche, https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [22:34] !info hwinfo [22:34] niche: but then it will probably not work with the flash from the repos [22:34] hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-2 (natty), package size 45 kB, installed size 112 kB [22:34] Jasonn, that's ok I want 64 bit anyways [22:34] what does such a command do?:‫‪sudo euca_conf --get-credentials mycreds.zip‬‬ [22:34] ‫‪unzip mycreds.zip‬‬ [22:35] SIFTU, for the moment i can live with that ;P audio and video are in perfect sync (= [22:35] SIFTU, thanks for the help! [22:35] mahnaz: That will get your credentials from the system, and then unzip them [22:35] UbuntuNewB: yeah I usually have good luck with sm/mplayer [22:35] rredd4: You're welcome. [22:35] but I cant fine [22:36] folder in which credentials are saved!! [22:36] I dont know what the credentials are [22:36] or for what they ar e [22:36] they could be anything. :) [22:36] these are command i use before:mkdir -p ~/.euca [22:36] chmod 700 ~/.euca [22:36] cd ~/.euca [22:36] but you are getting some kind of credentials from your system [22:36] Chrome>Firefox [22:37] mahnaz: What are you trying to do?? [22:37] mahnaz: so theyare in the .euca dir [22:37] no [22:37] Success, perhaps Chromium>Firefox but Chrome mahnaz: They cant be there, because you just made that folder [22:37] put themn in there then,. [22:37] there in is no such a folder [22:37] but i cant see any folder there! [22:38] mahnaz: you just made the folder.. the fact you dont see it in the nautilus file manager means its hiding it,.. use the terminbal [22:38] glebihan, I don't quite understand this "Step 1: On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading that reads Adding this PPA to your system. Make a note of the PPA's location, which looks like: " [22:38] mahnaz: cd .euca [22:38] mahnaz: ls -al [22:38] Chromium is the os though right? isnt chrome the browser? [22:38] Success: chromeOS [22:38] Success, no there is ChromeOS [22:38] and ChromiumOS [22:38] well then im confused [22:38] mahnaz: ok, you are asking the SIMPLEST QUESTION EVER. if you cannot figure out how to do whhat you are trying to do, you should not do it. [22:38] niche, run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update" [22:39] chromium is a variant of chrome. [22:39] whats the diffrerence [22:39] mahnaz: you may want to spend some time learning some bash basics.. [22:39] chromium is a game, also [22:39] Dr_Willis, actually chrome is a variant of Chromium [22:39] Success: Chrome is for windows, and chromium is for linux [22:39] niche, then sudo apt-get upgrade [22:39] Jasonn, incorrect - there is Chrome for linux as well [22:39] h [22:39] oh [22:39] its google-chrome here... [22:39] glebihan, gracius [22:40] :) [22:40] !chrome [22:40] Success: Its like windows live messenger does not have a verion for linux, but they make something to simulate it. [22:40] ever sence switching to linux there are a few things i miss [22:40] i so over all like it tho [22:40] amsn comes to mind, dunno if it's still any good or deprecated [22:40] Success, like crashing? [22:40] Sweet merciful jebus 1 minute remaining. [22:40] pidgin does too iirc [22:40] Success: Slow comp speeds, and NTFS file systems? [22:40] actually iv had quite a few lock ups on ubuntu [22:40] and my windows was faster [22:41] blame the admin [22:41] but like real games [22:41] Success, ubuntu != Linux [22:41] Success: touche, but windows cannot be faster than ubuntu [22:41] and canary/beta channels [22:41] Bye! [22:41] and things like .net [22:42] bye belove [22:42] hello [22:42] anybody with a macbook pro? [22:42] Success, mono is .net on gnu/linux [22:42] Jasonn: Chrome is based on the open source project chromium, and both are available for linux: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome [22:42] we need the entire channel to say hello back to zfe [22:42] !anybody [22:42] A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [22:42] Success: ubuntu is like the really FAT brother of debian. There is a whole bunch of stuff in ubuntu that people will never use, and it overloads your comp. Its like windows vista vs XP [22:42] !metapackage [22:42] A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [22:43] i'm going to install ubuntu 11.04 on my macbook pro [22:43] glebihan, you are awesome, flash 64 now works with firefox 6.0.... woooot [22:43] from usb drive [22:43] any known issue or something i should know before going on? [22:43] jetscreamer, "/msg ubottu foo" [22:43] zfe: You should install from cd if possible [22:43] why, i know what the bot has to say [22:43] zfe: That's very difficult at the moment. I would recommend installing via CD if at all possilbe. [22:43] Jordan_U, i'm going with dd [22:43] niche, nice :) [22:43] if that's the problem [22:44] what's the problem with the installation from usb-drive [22:44] zfe: Its not a problem perse, but its just there are more things that can go wrong if you install from a usb drive [22:44] well how do i get rid of those things? [22:44] ok [22:44] weird /dev-ness probably [22:44] does everything work? ( ideally don't care about Thunderbolt) [22:44] and what are they [22:44] *i really [22:44] zfe, might help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [22:44] and i miss my chrome canary [22:45] there is stable,beta,developer, and canary [22:45] zfe: The problem is that it boots without Apple's BIOS implementation which unfortunatly causes problems for many graphics drivers at the moment. [22:45] Success: What version of ubuntu are you using? a [22:45] 11.04 [22:45] Success: What was yer first ubuntu version?? [22:45] 10.04 [22:45] Jordan_U, ok [22:46] Success: Did you notice how 10.10 ran like 5 times faster than 11.04?? [22:46] also, i've read that debian is able to run proprietary drivers for my wifi adapter [22:46] yes [22:46] why is it marked as NOTWORKING [22:46] on the ubuntu wiki [22:46] Success: You can switch over to the gnome desktop, take out some programs, [22:46] etc. [22:46] that alone will speed up your comp by like 20% [22:46] Jasonn, Do you find 11.04 slow ? [22:46] Quantum_Ion: Slower than 10.10, yes [22:47] now that you bring it up yea it was way faster [22:47] Jasonn, even gnome desktop is slow on 11.04 [22:47] zfe: If you do decide to use a CD instead of USB be sure to use the +mac image (if you still go with USB, the +mac image will *not* work from USB at all). [22:47] Jasonn, Believe it or not I am still running 10.04 LTS and won't upgrade until another Ubuntu LTS is released [22:47] Success: Because they changed a lot, and if you go back to berson 8.xx its like 100 times slower [22:47] ah [22:47] so i'm wasting my time [22:47] i downloaded the mac image [22:47] and trying to use usb [22:48] zfe: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:48] Success: It asks you what you want to log into when you log in. [22:48] i hear 11.10 will be worse [22:48] Success: Probably. [22:48] and they are ditching original gnome2 classic [22:48] Wait until another LTS release [22:48] i like gnome classic mode [22:48] maybe 12.04 might be LTS ? [22:48] unity is kind of weird [22:48] Success, start looking for a new distro then [22:48] anyone have x11 forwarding working with natty [22:48] Quantum_Ion: Dont switch up, unless you choose to use the GNOME desktop [22:49] zykotick9, the sacrifices for love. lol [22:49] Success: Yeah. [22:49] Jasonn, I will wait for a while not in a rush to upgrade [22:49] hey how are you suppoce to switch applications on unity i never figured that out [22:49] i had to install a dockbar [22:49] zfe: Correct, the +mac image has EFI support removed and Apple's firmware only supports loading EFI bootloaders from USB. Why their BIOS implementation work with CDs and internal drives but not USB drives is a mystery to me but that's the way it is. [22:49] i got avant [22:49] Success: Also, you can use lubuntu, which is a lighweight version of ubuntu. Using the lxde desktop environment, it runs waay faster than even 10.04 [22:49] erally [22:49] mhm [22:50] really? How can i go to it [22:50] Jordan_U, ok [22:50] is it possible to access this live chat from MIRC [22:50] so i'll wait tomorrow morning and get a cd [22:50] Success: You switch applications all mac-style... you click the application icon again on the left sidebar. [22:50] and burn it [22:50] Success: Totally reinstall operating system. [22:50] They have to work all those bugs out of those new releases [22:50] even though it feels so -.- [22:50] or is this Ubuntu Sever availabile on MIrc [22:50] win+Numkey to switch :) [22:50] Success: Or you can alt-tab. :) [22:50] Go back to 10.04 LTS [22:50] induz: Yes. This is standard IRC and can be accessed via any IRC client. [22:50] Success: http://lubuntu.net/ [22:51] They need to work those bugs out of Unity [22:51] a unity manual http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html [22:51] Success, to install lbuntu, just install the "lubuntu-desktop" package [22:51] alt tab isnt working for me [22:51] and oh i forgot about the sidebar switching thing [22:51] induz: The network is freenode, which can be accessed via irc.ubuntu.com, irc.freenode.net, or any of many local servers. [22:51] but not everything shows uip over there... [22:51] SIFTU, F.Y.I.: Now its working perfectly... i change the subtitle encoding to UTF-8 [22:52] Seems like Unity is trying to mimic Android tablet [22:52] Success: If you choose lubuntu, download it through a torrent, its waaay faster [22:52] Jordan_U, thanks but do i have to go to a web browser to connect to this chat [22:52] induz: No. [22:53] could anyone give me a quick opinion about some errors i got using rsync (for the first time)? paste.ubuntu.com/670345 [22:53] Jordan_U, not to rant, but how comes that an image specifically built for macs [22:53] has the support for apple bios removed [22:54] the screen shots make it look kind of .. [22:54] lame [22:54] Seems like they are immitating Android tablet form === kanyl_ is now known as kanyl [22:54] Quantum_Ion: acts nothing like android,, [22:54] has anybody faced problems in ubuntu 11.04 after installing nvidia drivers? [22:54] improveupon, "File too large" are you rsyncing to a FAT volume? [22:54] With those big ass icons and crap like that [22:54] :) [22:55] yes. ok thanks [22:55] what is android immitating [22:55] zfe: First as a matter of terminology, EFI is a type of firmware which replaces the BIOS interface. For an explanation of the +mac image see here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37999/what-is-different-about-the-mac-iso-image [22:55] getting where im so used to android i want my pc to be more android like. [22:56] Dr_Willis, lol [22:56] Dr_Willis, pcs are not phones :p [22:56] Dr_willis: in the future everything will be phones and servers [22:56] Success, no they won't [22:56] zykotick9: my phone does eveyrthing i do on my pc . :) [22:56] the how to i read said if you are syncing your dual-booting ntfs/ext4 drive, format the disk to fat [22:56] see [22:56] Dr_Willis, :) [22:56] Dr_Willis: Can you watch porn in 1080p ? [22:56] i am having a problem with network manager and a huawei datacard. it was working flawlessly up until a couple days ago and now i keep getting this failure message NetworkManager[1021]: pppd timed out or didn't initialize our dbus module [22:57] Jasonn: yes, [22:57] Jasonn: YES [22:57] or so i hear,,,, :) [22:57] They want to make it so that Android is the dominate OS and you will need an Application to do everything [22:57] :OO [22:57] I cant [22:57] am i in the right place?

But I owuld just recommend blacklisting nvidia and nouveau [23:32] SIFTU: thanks for explaining I knew nothing of them. cheers [23:32] need a genius to get my computer working, doesnt work after updating it, uses ubuntu 11.04 [23:33] SIFTU: do you anything about lirc and why irsend isnt working I found this but not sure if i need to implement it or not in natty http://lirc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lirc/lirc;a=commitdiff;h=77c9429dde46f108ab4ba47791977abae3a6af3c [23:33] Hey, I'd like to set a program to run daily, how can I do this? (cron would require the computer being on 24/7 and this computer isn't) [23:34] Ellipsis753: anacron [23:34] rileyp: the lirc people broke lirc in one of recent kernel updates.. I should try it again but last time I tried it was in quite a state [23:35] rileyp: going back to and older kernel will probably fix it :) [23:35] so I'm the only one with suddenly broken keyboard after update? [23:35] SIFTU I need natty for truehd audio support :D [23:35] is mod_ftp packaged for Ubuntu? I think I can't find it. [23:36] rileyp,i tried gdm stuff but it didn't work.i had to boot into the failsafe mode. [23:36] steel: you cant use the nvidia driver with that laptop [23:36] olividir: that 'minima.... ' is what the grub shell says. so some how the grub got messed up, or the system is not booting up competely [23:36] steel .... SIFTU: rileyp: linux does not support the hybrids (well nvidia doesnt on linux) [23:37] steel: you could try "bumblebee" [23:37] steel: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee [23:37] it just wont boot, just says this minimal bash like line [23:37] SIFTU, oh yeah i was just reading about it [23:37] stell you may a s well remove all th nv stuff and go back tou your default driver as it aint gonna work [23:38] Dr_Willis it just wont boot, just says this minimal bash like line [23:38] steel: yeah you have to use the intel driver in the kernel.. what laptop do you have? [23:38] SIFTU,dell xps 15 l502x [23:38] steel: some allow you to have descrete mode in the BIOS [23:38] olividir: its stuck in GRUB. you may need to reinstall grub. [23:38] steel: oh.. yeah not that one.. thats what I have [23:38] steel: do you game? [23:39] SIFTU, yes, sometimes [23:39] Hey, I have a nVidia graphics card, and installed the drivers through restricted drivers. Works great, but keep resetting to 600x800 on restart. The "write to X config" in the nVidia settings doesn't make it permanent. Any suggestions? [23:39] tiemonster in a terminal type ssudo nvidia-settings and it will save. [23:40] hey the php version I get via apt-get on ubuntu 10.04 is 5.3.2... Is that ever going to change or I'm stuck with that php version until I change OS? [23:40] thats sudo [23:40] steel: ah ok.. well your best bet is bumblebee.. also kenerl 3.0 has huge performance gains for the intel GPU [23:40] edbian,how can I set anacron up with a job? [23:40] felipe_Brz: you can always compile a new versions yourself or find a PPA [23:41] Dr_Willis, happy happy joy joy, can I get my stuff off the computer first? [23:41] Ellipsis753: IDK, never done it :P [23:41] SIFTU: those are the only ways, yes? WIll I ever be able to update php by running apt-get update and upgrade? [23:41] rileyp: I changed the menu command to `gksudo nvidia-settings` - no go [23:42] ides for ubuntu? [23:42] IDEs [23:42] SIFTU, ok [23:42] felipe_Brz: well they could push new versions.. if you add a PPA you will get new versions like that [23:42] felipe_Brz: iirc - they update each release [23:42] c++ IDEs for ubuntu? [23:43] SIFTU: hmmm... is there no 'official' PHP PPA for the newest possible stable php versions? [23:43] whiz_: I use Eclipse's CDT, but hard-core devs aren't fans of it [23:43] felipe_Brz: no [23:43] 5.3.2 is fairly new [23:43] tiemonster, what do hard core devs use? [23:43] tiemonster: it is indeed. [23:43] my hosting company still runs 5.2.12 [23:43] tiemonster open a terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings like i said [23:43] whiz_: vim [23:44] rileyp: does the same thing [23:44] k i'm sticking with gvim [23:44] suit yourself [23:44] tiemonster: and then saveit and it will be fine [23:44] whiz_: gdb is way easier to use in Eclipse [23:44] SIFTU, how do i upgrade to kernel 3.0? [23:44] i a ultra hard core dev-- gvim [23:44] rileyp: k. I guess I'll try it again and report back if it still doesn't work. [23:44] steel: well you can compile one yourself, or find a PPA :) [23:44] what's gdb? [23:45] Gnu Debugger [23:45] Hi, I m getting this in my kernel.log: ACPI: EC: GPE storm detected, transactions will use polling mode. Just found a lot of very old bug reports on it. Anyone know what is causing it? [23:45] for debugging c/c++ programs [23:45] SIFTU, oh thanks :) [23:45] steel: apparently you wont be supported in this room if you do that [23:45] http://www.livemixtapes.com/player.php?album_id=14492 [23:46] I installed the driver from ATI's website on Ubuntu 11.4. It doesn't show up in "Additional Drivers," and I have no hardware graphics acceleration going on. But when I try to reinstall, it says it's already installed [23:46] rileyp: it's a pretty old release on there as well (8.04, I think). upgrading might help? [23:46] How do I get the ATI driver to actually do things? [23:47] khafra: I always have used the restricted drivers tool [23:47] SIFTU, won't be supported. why? [23:47] using it on this box right now, and I get full hardware accelerated HD video [23:47] are there any 'graphic designers' out here? [23:47] steel: it is not official release [23:47] steel: there's a reason the Ubuntu devs chose not to use it [23:48] SIFTU, ok === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:48] tiemonster: That's "additional drivers" in the 11.4 GUI, right? [23:48] fosburg: millions [23:48] edbian, humn, do I need to add anacron to the startup list? [23:48] tiemonster, ok [23:48] khafra: oh. I don't know. haven't upgraded. [23:48] I only use LTS releases [23:48] tiemonster: I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have. [23:48] I have better luck with that === brian is now known as Guest64095 [23:48] LTS, here I come. [23:48] hehe [23:48] Ellipsis753: look at man anacrone [23:48] especially for older hardware [23:49] I don't really think Unity's all that hot, either. [23:49] Ellipsis753: man anacron [23:49] I have better luck running away from ATI when ever possible. :) [23:49] khafra: it's meh [23:49] edbian, IT MAKES NO SENSE THOUGH! [23:49] I don't have an opinion [23:49] Ellipsis753: a-ha [23:49] how are the graphic apps in linux accepted in the US print community? [23:50] Ellipsis753: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/05/anacron-examples/ [23:50] fosburg: they're not, as far as I'm aware. [23:51] SIFTU: rileyp: linux does not support the hybrids (well nvidia doesnt on linux) Is this the case with natty? [23:51] so MAC is still the king when it comes to print design? [23:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/663497 Does this post mean its broken in natty as well? [23:53] [23:53] Ubuntu bug 663497 in lirc (Ubuntu) "Transmitter (irsend) broken in 10.10" [Undecided,New] [23:53] I have installed the vpnc and connected to the vpn but I am not able to get out of the networking. How do I enable transparent tunneling? [23:54] cpu temperatura program...No sysinfo,..No xsensor [23:54] I don't see an option in the gui [23:54] Jarrod has attached a fix to the end but I dont know if its fixed in natty or how to apply the patch/diff can anyone help please [23:55] also, with a computer with an nvidia nvs 300, I am not able to get a live cd to work, even in low graphics. I tried the agp=off as it said in the forums but it still doesn't load a screen. Just get black screen [23:55] fosburg: yes [23:55] And no tty [23:55] I've tried. Trust me, I've tried. [23:56] you can get away with TIFFs out of gimp [23:56] but no one will take PDFs out of Scribus or anything like that === segunda_hora_ is now known as segunda_hora [23:56] I assume that you are a designer [23:57] fosburg: did print layout design for two years [23:57] it was InDesign or nothing for most print shops === Jasonn is now known as BunnyFart [23:58] I retired--but am interested in doing free lance [23:58] yeah [23:58] I used it on Windows with no problems [23:58] if hardware cost is biting you [23:58] can't do anything about software costs, though [23:59] program to measure CPU temperature???? [23:59] !sensors [23:59] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [23:59] sivik: try the nomodeset option
