[00:00] I tried to... but have to admit I've forgotten most of my IRC skills from a decade ago. [00:00] Guest12947, #samba irc is a good place [00:00] Hey, I'm trying to make sshd use a different directory for authorized_keys, but it won't change no matter what I do. Anyone know what could be going on? [00:00] /nick I_am_Old_Skool_leet :) [00:01] Thank you w30! [00:01] Thanks for that Dr_Willis! === Guest12947 is now known as sandkeydude [00:01] :) [00:01] ansak-onepost, so you want to use grub2 in the install in sdc2? [00:01] i find it hard to believe you could forget /nick :p [00:01] how could i upgrade ubuntu 8.04 that is running on some "turnkey linux"? [00:02] how to delete folder with permissions [00:02] It seems I'm becoming gifted at forgetting things I don't use as I get older! ;) [00:02] japan, sudo ? [00:02] i dont know howwww [00:02] japan: clarify a bit more... sudo rmdir foodir is one way [00:02] urlin2, 1st I want there to be a grub on sda that still points to sda1 so I can keep working from my CentOS system as I migrate away from it. [00:02] japan: sudo rmdir [00:02] when i do sudo do-release-upgrade ; i get: https://gist.github.com/3c2dff2e98a31b8224d3 === \l is now known as luigi [00:02] * w30 has CRS [00:02] japan: or better yet, `man rmdir` [00:02] urlin2, 2 I want there to be a grub on sdc that points to sdc1 and runs ubuntu [00:03] urlin2, for now... I am open to being told what The Right Way is. === luigi is now known as \l [00:03] i tried rm -rf /opt/lampp but it doesnt work [00:03] Hey, I'm trying to make sshd use a different directory for authorized_keys, but it won't change no matter what I do. Anyone know what could be going on? [00:03] japan: put a sudo in front of it [00:04] urlin2, for now, I still have a bunch of gotta-do-this-now stuff on the CentOS partition that I mean to migrate away from. [00:04] ok tnx very much [00:04] urlin2, long time user, just not heavy-duty distro-switcher. === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi [00:04] Anybody use playonlinux? I'm having trouble with an install [00:04] ansak-onepost, you don't need a boot partition, as the script read grub is in the sdc mbr and points at that sdc1, can the sdc be moved to the first read in the bios. [00:04] wilder: does this look like #playonlinux ? [00:05] :p [00:05] It does not. [00:05] urlin2u, sdc becoming first: yes, that's what I want to do eventually. [00:05] urlin2u, actually what you're seeing in that pastebin is not the original results. [00:05] what is playonlinux wildbat ? [00:05] wilder* [00:05] urlin2u, let me paste that one up, too and explain a bit more of what I've seen. === david is now known as Guest95438 [00:06] ejv, it's a frontend to wine [00:06] i also installed php 5 mysql etc etc and i wanna delete it but i dont know where is it [00:06] did he leave, found a forums link for him [00:06] urlin2u, pasted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/672018/ (or is it better etiquette to just say "672018"?) [00:07] ansak-onepost: full link is fine :p [00:07] urlin2u latest paste is how I found things; sda spins up, reads mbr, boots narwhal off of sdc [00:07] ansak-onepost, so this is a accurate as is of it now? [00:07] japan: i'd use the package manager to remove any libraries/software you no longer want [00:07] japan: eg `apt-get remove ` [00:08] urlin2u, 2nd pastebin is how it was, 1st pastebin is after i made one change which did not have the desired effect. [00:08] ansak-onepost, we only want a script of what ity reads now, and any changes may need a new script run. [00:08] Hello [00:09] ansak-onepost, put the sdc in the first read in the bios, the first script shows if possibly booting. [00:09] if=it [00:09] zykotick9, thanks dude [00:09] for the info [00:09] urlin2u, this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/672007/ is how things are _now_ [00:10] urlin2u, If I try to boot off of sdc (BIOS select boot device), I get a blank screen [00:10] Eh, fuck Sublime :) [00:10] urlin2u, If I allow BIOS to boot off of default first device (sda), it boots narwhal off of sdc [00:11] ansak-onepost, you don't need the boot partition sdc2 will boot as is. [00:11] urlin2u, okay. but I want to be able to choose to boot from CentOS on sda OR narwhal on sdc. === OZl is now known as ozior [00:12] urlin2u, are you saying that what I should do is add more grub-goo to the /boot on sdc1 and then I could accomplish this from menu choices? [00:13] Hi, any one using celestia here - need some help - I would like to know how can I set the recording resolution and codec in that [00:13] ansak-onepost, hold on I will give you the commands in a pastebin ti be run from a live cd. [00:13] urlin2u, most kind [00:13] Hey, I'm trying to make sshd use a different directory for authorized_keys, but it won't change no matter what I do. Anyone know what could be going on? [00:14] mbrigdan: just curious why would you want that? [00:14] I have a question [00:14] tomodachi, the default doesn't work if your home directory is encrypted [00:14] mbrigdan: you changed the path in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarted the service? [00:14] Is there anyway to delete a dir and everything in it all at once? [00:14] im trying to surprise my boyfriend and convert a bunch of wma to mp3 [00:15] ejv, Yeah, and other changes I made (as a test) took effect. But it won't let me login unless I have my key in the default directory [00:15] trying to rip a CD to mp3...suggestions? [00:15] Aple, rm -R [00:15] ripperX does not encode...am I missing a lib? [00:15] w30: Thanks [00:16] EDinNY: banshee does it if im not mistaken [00:16] EDinNY: http://banshee.fm/support/guide/audio-cds/ [00:16] any suggestions on converting wma to mp3 [00:16] Aple, *smile* man rm is your friend [00:16] EDinNY: cdparanoia [00:17] they are scattered through out his music folder [00:17] Ah, so that's what man pages are [00:17] xamp is in my download folder, when i try to sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt it tell me that there is not such file or directory [00:17] Sweet :) [00:17] im sure amarok and rythmbox also support some form of 'ripping' [00:17] spacebug-: to my knowledge cdparanoia only rips but doesn't encode [00:17] is cdparanoia from command line? [00:17] w40: I'm an Ubuntu newb in case you haven't noticed. *shows off his feathers* [00:17] Aple, if you don't want to answer all the questions then -Rf [00:17] szal: no well, that is a second stage [00:17] EDinNY: yes [00:18] man = manual :) [00:18] nonono, I gotcha [00:18] man pages = sweet. [00:18] is banshee from command line? [00:18] where to put xampp to sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt work ? [00:18] did shygirl leave already? [00:18] It pays to read docs and tutorials. :) - i used to have a Huge THICK book that was the man pages printed out. ages ago [00:18] ansak-onepost, so sdc2 is Natty and you have a Natty cd correct? [00:18] urlin2u, yes [00:19] japan: xampp is not supported in this channel. Use Ubuntu's packages instead. [00:19] I wish I code encode MP3 and WAVS to CD format and burn them too I don't know how to do that [00:19] japan: we really dont support xampp here.. theres the lamp stack in the repos. [00:19] !xampp | japan [00:19] japan: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [00:19] this is no about xampp , xampp is just banal example [00:20] Quantum_Ion: the k3b burner app - makes it rather trivial to make audio cds. once you install it and the right plugins. There prob. some gnome equiliv also. [00:20] japan: id just cd to where you want it to go.. and extract the archive [00:20] urlin2u, and sda1 is /boot to sda2 which is LVM containing CentOS5 that I still need to use [00:20] where file shoud be to install it in that way [00:20] it says acess is dained [00:20] Dr_Willis, yeah, electronic data is fine but with a paper book you don't have to boot it up. [00:20] ansak-onepost, notice the fdisk -l command to confirm that on the live cd the partitions are showing the same sdc2 or if different, adjust accordingly. http://paste.ubuntu.com/672028/ [00:20] cd /opt && unp /path/to/the/archive :) [00:21] w30: plus you can read it while sitting in the err... reading room every morning. :) [00:21] Dr_Willis, Hmmm I have that installed and I have never used the application, might give it a try, thanks [00:21] if shygirl comes back, tell her to be more patient next time [00:21] how to expand the harddisk space in ubuntu? i have zero space left? [00:21] ansak-onepost, grub2 will rad CentOS, you need sdc2 as the bootpartition, not sdc1 [00:21] i need to make the partition bigger [00:21] this is the answer tnx dude, [00:21] Guest71158: you can resize partiions with gparted. if you got other space to put in it.. [00:21] ejv, Now you know the reason she is called shygirl [00:21] urlin2u, ? s/rad/read/? [00:21] so i have to download gparted ? [00:21] EDinNY: banshee is a gui app, do you need command line only? [00:22] ansak-onepost, rad=read [00:22] Guest71158: depends. you are resizeing your / partition? if so you may want to use a live cd.. or the gparted live cd. [00:22] ansak-onepost, read the link carefully and follow as it is. [00:22] Quantum_Ion: indeed [00:22] Guest71158: you do NOT resize a partition/fs thats in use. :) [00:22] how do i boot thel ive cd [00:22] i want to resize the partition of ubuntu [00:22] Guest71158: put cd in.. power up... [00:22] urlin2u, reading carefully... will print out and ponder. [00:22] gparted is on the default desktop live cd i think. [00:23] urlin2u, thanks for the help; will come back if there are problems :) [00:25] Dr_Willis it wment to the gnome login screen [00:26] Guest71158: be bit more verbose in your statements.. the live cd autologs in - if it booted correctly. or did it just boot your normal install..... [00:26] do i choose recvoery mode? [00:26] it's GNU GRUB [00:29] What's a pretty/decent IDE for Ubuntu? [00:29] vim is a bit too ugly/obtrusive for my tastes [00:29] :)) [00:30] vim rocks ! [00:30] Aple: gvim? [00:30] nono, they're both so ugly and I'm kinda sick of learning their commands [00:30] * Aple awaits his execution [00:30] :) [00:30] eclipse then [00:30] :) I'd just like a decent little editor that looks decent and doesn't flip me out [00:30] slow as hell but works [00:30] Hello, I accidentally removed my username from the panel up top, and it also removed the power button from top where I shutdown or restart, and my wifi icon, how do I get those back? [00:31] Aple: kate [00:31] See, that's the other stipulation, Eclipse loads so slow, screw that [00:31] kate eh? [00:31] Desyncify right click on panel [00:31] Aple, command editor that I use is pico or lately nano [00:32] I right clicked and went to add to panel, but don't see my wifi or anything like that [00:32] Aple, you can just apt-get install nano [00:32] Aple: give vim a chance .. once u learn the commands no going back.. [00:32] been that way for past 10 years... [00:33] * defunkt agrees with deem [00:33] deeptrouble** [00:33] sorry [00:33] deeptrouble2: Yes, there is- :u [00:33] i stupidify windows users when they watch me edit files in vim.... :) [00:34] :) [00:34] mad vim skillz [00:34] so i then let them try vigor. or 'cream' === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [00:34] Vigor ?

Version 0.016-15 (natty), package size 266 kB, installed size 680 kB [00:35] wat [00:35] it has a paperclip 'helper' like that MS WORD thing. :) [00:35] lol :)) [00:35] man i loved the einstein guy, if you cliked him enough times, he's make an explosion [00:35] now cream is really interesting.

[00:36] On coffee [00:36] im using ubuntu 10.10, winxp.vdi of hp laptop is not working on sony vaio laptop, initial vbox screen is repeating as windows loading screen is coming ... [00:36] surely you mean IN coffee [00:36] I [00:37] Yes. [00:37] In coffee [00:37] thick coffee [00:37] DEsyncify: go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and check if network manager is there.if it is try to reboot.... [00:37] I spilled coffee on my keyboard, and now I can''t login anymore. How do I deactivate password login from an ssh session? [00:37] You take your laptop apart and clean that crap out. [00:37] jo-erlend_: push ssh keys [00:37] jo-erlend_: you an edit the gdm configs to enable auto logging in.. but then what. :) [00:37] I have never really used git before and I just used it to get a program that I cannot find and does not respond to a terminal command of its name, am I perhaps missing a step that is needed when using git? [00:38] deeptrouble2, I'm talking about gdm. [00:38] jo-erlend_: gdmsetup (sudo) [00:38] Dr_Willis, then I can watch movies and such until I get a new keyboard. :) [00:38] /etc/gdm/gdm.conf* files === Gredeu- is now known as Gredeu [00:39] I thought it was /etc/gdm/Init/Default? [00:39] or use ssh X forwarding to run the gdm config app and enale it there, :) [00:39] Nevermind, I just figured it out [00:39] /etc/gdm$ cat custom.conf [00:39] automaticlogin = None [00:40] im on 10.10 right now. so it may differ in 11.* [00:40] I'm still using 10.10, tried 11.04.... nope [00:40] Immediately downgraded back. [00:42] Dr_Willis, using x-forwarding to do that, seems nice. But how do I do it? [00:42] jo-erlend_: gdmsetup === quiesense is now known as quiescens [00:43] qin, I need to ssh in as a normal user and run gdmsetup as root. How? [00:43] jo-erlend_: No, you will have "unlock" button [00:43] I thought I could do ssh -x user@host sudo gdmsetup, but that doesn't work. [00:43] oh. [00:43] jo-erlend_: Your user need to be sudoer. === nosa is now known as nosa-j [00:44] qin, hmm. Then... Shouldn't it be ssh -x host gdmsetup? [00:45] jo-erlend_: Lets stert over, do you have Xforwarding enabled, use -Y switch insead of -X and try "gedit" [00:46] qin, I don't understand that message. [00:46] jo-erlend_: ssh to your desktop, and run gedit [00:46] you mean ssh -Y host? [00:47] qin: this might help: http://pkill-9.com/getting-x-windows-to-work-over-an-ssh-connection/ [00:47] qin, I don't have ssh forwarding enabled, it seems. I need to use xhost or something then? [00:47] jo-erlend_: Either -Y or -X (-Y is trusted, and is enabled on Ubuntu) [00:47] bleh, I'll give vim a chance once I learn Django [00:47] I have't done this in many, many years. [00:48] jo-erlend_: So edit file Dr_Willis gave you.] [00:48] that file doesn't exist. [00:49] but I'd like to enable ssh forwarding in any case. But since it isn't allowed, I need to make it allowed somehow. [00:49] gedit looks nice [00:49] wrr [00:49] ? [00:49] nvr mnd [00:49] http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1344E.PDF i can't open this pdf. how can i install adobe reader 64bit? [00:49] hello people, I need help with strange problem. I have set up pptp server and I got it working with clients connecting, but when those clients try to browse some homepages only google works. no other site [00:49] jo-erlend_: sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config [00:49] but I can ping other sites [00:50] kavurt: i just opened it in adobe reader (32bit) and it's not working [00:50] I have a problem: my laptop is overheating [00:50] qin, hmm? I thought I'd have to use xhost or something? [00:50] and fan is making a lot of noise lol [00:51] aadsdas8: that sounds like a hardware issue.. [00:51] does the noise/problem stop when you boot windows? [00:51] it's new [00:51] yes [00:51] aadsdas8: new laptops ship w/ problems also. [00:51] KM0201: in windblowz it doesnt make noise [00:51] jo-erlend_: line: X11Forwarding yes [00:51] aadsdas8: dunnno, sounds like you got somethin going on there. [00:52] qin, on the server? [00:52] KM0201: thats vague [00:52] jo-erlend_: Yes [00:52] aadsdas8: well, you gave a vague explanation of the probl_em. [00:53] aadsdas8: what model laptop? [00:53] qin, I' [00:53] KM0201: toshiba satellite l650 [00:53] qin, I'm still getting error messages that authentication is wrong and that display can't be opened. [00:53] kavurt: i just installed adobe acro-reader 9, and that document opened up no problem [00:54] toshiba tools dont work with the kernel n1 ubuntu [00:54] qin, are you sure X doesn't have to be configured to allow external connections? [00:54] required kernel toshiba support not enabled. [00:54] jo-erlend_: Never have to do it in ubuntu. [00:54] KM0201: is there 64 bit available? i tried to install 32bit, but it said wrong structure or something [00:55] qin, ok, so tell me what I need to do? I've added that line. How do I proceed? [00:55] jo-erlend_: On client: ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes [00:55] kavurt: i'm honestly not sure... [00:55] kavurt: can I PM you.?.. i might have a simple solution for you. [00:55] it's like fan is at full speed all the time [00:55] qin, which file? [00:55] KM0201: sure thanks [00:55] jo-erlend_: Make sure that you do not have dupes in configs. Client /etc/ssh/ssh_config [00:55] Whenever I create a drawer on gnome panel and put something into it, and then restart, the drawer no longer works. It doesn't expand or anything. I am using 11.04 with gnome 2, has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? [00:56] kavurt, if you have the 32bit deb you can install it using "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ADBOBE_BLAH.deb" [00:56] qin, and those are two lines, yes? [00:56] jo-erlend_: Yes [00:56] Caramba! [00:56] and on server: sudo service ssh restart [00:56] zykotick9: thanks, i'll try it [00:57] kavurt, you need it ia32-libs for that to work BTW [00:57] s/it/the/ [00:58] fan is running very fast [00:58] qin, I'm still not allowed. [01:00] hi if i played a game with wine where would my gamesaves be? [01:00] why Ubuntu Natty doesnt support toshiba tools [01:00] jo-erlend_: hm, cat you ssh -Y -vvv and run gedit? [01:00] how do i get rid of this envelop icon in the systray ? [01:00] aadsdas8: i thnk the bigger questino, is why doesn't toshiba have toshiba tools for linux.. you're blaming the wrong party [01:01] hey [01:01] i just dicovered something awsome i want to share with you. if firefox wont install .xpi because incompatible; you can edit the max version in install.rdf, and it could work! i did this with moonlight [01:01] kingofswords, depends on the game but check in the ~/.wine directory somewhere [01:01] hy [01:01] hey [01:01] qin, no. I'm not allowed. /usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/jo-erlend/.Xauthority X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. [01:01] KM0201: I installed toshiba tools from repositorie.s. [01:01] zykotick9, yeh i know ...im having trouble locating 'my documents' in wine..thats where gamessaves are normally [01:01] jo-erlend_: You do not have .Xauthority, do you? [01:02] KM0201: it doesnt work with this kernel [01:02] qin, yes. It belongs to root. [01:02] jo-erlend_, you could try "xhost +" to disable all security (as a test) [01:02] jo-erlend_: In your ~ [01:02] aadsdas8: then that still isn't ubuntu's problem, toshiba needs to do a better job of making sure their package works w/ all kernels [01:02] hm i think it's a ubuntu problem [01:02] zykotick9, cannot open display. [01:02] one more problem [01:02] aadsdas8: reinstall or switch OS. ??? [01:03] yeah im gonna back to windows just because of fan [01:03] -- [01:03] qin, yes, I have that file in my home and it belongs to root. [01:03] aadsdas8: actually, that would be pretty smart, a bad fan will brick a laptop very very quickly. [01:04] jo-erlend_: ~/.Xauthority in not a root file, any way what permissions it has? [01:04] aadsdas8: did you configure toshiba tools? [01:04] qin, but what would be much better, if it's possible, is if I can log in from the laptop using ssh and then run the applications on the servers monitor. [01:04] qin, 700. [01:04] How can I share an external hard drive between Ubuntu machines on a Windows network? :) [01:04] KM0201: the fan is working correctly as seen in windows 7. it is not working correctly in ubuntu 11.04. conclusion: it's ubuntu fault [01:05] aadsdas8: i'm not gonna talk to someone who has drawn such a dense conclusion, but... ok. [01:05] jo-erlend_: So you want vnc, for remote control. [01:05] KM0201: lack of arguments but ok [01:05] if you dont know how to help me just dont talk to me tks [01:05] aadsdas8: no, the argument is, you don't know how to read, did you read this little tidbit ont hat package... Note that these utilities work with APM features in the Toshiba BIOS. [01:05] If your laptop's BIOS only supports ACPI and not APM, then toshutils will [01:05] probably not work for you. Toshiba's newer models tend to support ACPI [01:05] only, and therefore toshutils will not work with them.Note that these utilities work with APM features in the Toshiba BIOS. [01:05] If your laptop's BIOS only supports ACPI and not APM, then toshutils will [01:05] probably not work for you. Toshiba's newer models tend to support ACPI [01:05] KM0201: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:05] only, and therefore toshutils will not work with them. [01:06] qin, I have to use vnc in order to start x on the desktop? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [01:06] KM0201: work for Burma Shave? [01:06] th0r: lol screwed up.. :) [01:07] aadsdas8: anyway, so that is obvbiously ubuntus' fault, since they told you a package probably woudln't know w/ your laptop... [01:07] wouldn't *work [01:07] KM0201, let it go man. ;-) [01:07] hi [01:08] yeah man dont cry just because it sucks [01:08] urlin2u: i just get annoyed by idiots very easily, then he had the nerve to say the problem was me. [01:08] aadsdas8: well, like i said, remove it. [01:08] KM0201: dont call me an idiot, idiot [01:08] aadsdas8: i can read wha ta package does and doesn't do... you obviously cannot. [01:08] jo-erlend_: I though we trying to set automatic lodin now. [01:09] of course, thats ubuntus fault..lol [01:09] qin, I want to somehow be able to run my desktop. [01:09] the easiest possible way. [01:09] jo-erlend_: Do you want to chown ~/.Xauthotiry to yourself? [01:09] qin, do I? === ozior is now known as ozigs [01:09] jo-erlend_: Sure. [01:10] ok. Done. Now what? === ozigs is now known as ozior === ozior is now known as ozigs === ozigs is now known as ozior [01:11] Anyone here using a good usb 3 card? [01:11] PCI Express card [01:12] jo-erlend_: Interesting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RemoteXHowTo says: ln -s $XAUTHORITY ${HOME}/.Xauthority [01:12] lol #ubuntu-sucks was moved [01:13] qin, that's for Breezy though. Six years old. [01:13] qin, but I really don't want to spend hours on this. If I could only activate automatic login, then everything would be fine. [01:13] I can't seam to get apache2 to parse htaccess files is there any trick to it with 10.04 ? === aadsdas8 is now known as ubuntu_sucks [01:14] hatch, #ubuntu-server [01:14] jo-erlend_: thanks [01:14] anyone have any experience with BURG? [01:14] scythefwd, yes [01:14] hello people, I need help with strange problem. I have set up pptp server and I got it working with clients connecting, but when those clients try to browse some homepages only google works. no other site [01:15] urlin, where did you install it from and did the .deb's tell you there was something wrong with them, eg. using the wrong guid [01:15] jo-erlend_: Hm, cannot find autologin option in gdm configs... is it 11.04? [01:16] scythefwd, mine is installed via a ppa I believe, as part of a multiboot usb [01:16] According to the Ubuntu certified page, any card using the uPD720200 chipset will work perfect. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:17] qin, I found it. I needed to make /etc/gdm/custom.conf and add a couple of lines. [01:17] it true when they say it [01:18] jo-erlend_: Yes, AutomaticLoginEnable=true and line for user. Did not know what it goes to Default. [01:18] ubuntu_sucks, go away please. [01:18] ? [01:18] scythefwd, Natty? http://ubuntu-install.blogspot.com/2011/05/beautiful-burg-boot-loader-gets-ubuntu.html [01:19] urlin - yeah, natty... I already have it installed... I just thought the messages that popped up were odd. [01:19] scythefwd, have you installed it to the mbr? === needhelp1 is now known as oscalation [01:21] urlin - yeah, come to think of it, it wasn't burg itself that threw up the warning, it was burg-manager and buc [01:21] urlin - it was all guid based errors that I saw, not that the package failed. Works fine with my win7 and ubuntu entries [01:22] how can i upgrade xorg? === viktor is now known as viktor283749594 [01:22] scythefwd, you will have to be more clear if you have a problem, including the erorrs in a pastebim=n with all the text. [01:23] it doesnt even show the RPM [01:23] haha [01:23] !ot | ubuntu_sucks [01:23] ubuntu_sucks: #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! [01:24] it's not offtopic [01:24] it's related with ubuntu [01:24] ubuntu_sucks, Ubuntu-related support questions [01:24] ? [01:25] urlin - don't sweat it... it's working. [01:25] scythefwd, cool. ;-) [01:25] if i upgrade to 10.10 will i have to re-do all my compiz settings and cairo dock/ [01:26] kingofswords, plan on doing so. [01:27] urlin2u, im need xorg 1.8 so upgrade seems simplist way [01:27] does the upgrade take long/alot of dl? [01:27] i installed ubuntu server 64 bit on virtual box, the dhcp works but when I set up as static, I can't ping my router or the internet.. in /etc/network/interfaces. networkmanager is not installed [01:27] urlin - I'm familiar enough with linux to truely break things (about as familiar with it as I am with spelling <- ) It was just a popup that asked me to ignore and install when I tried to install BUC. I'd hav eto remove burg-manager to re-install buc and it ain't worth my time [01:28] So when I try to active my VGA output to have its own resolution, the monitor prefs window says "requested position size for CRTC 80 is outside the allowed limit". Ideas? [01:28] kingofswords, upgrades have been known to break clone lucid first in case it does [01:28] urlin2u, i dont understand ...what is clone lucid? [01:29] ubuntu is destroying my hardware [01:29] eross - can you ping other systems on your subnet? I'd double check your IP settings before you start really messing with things [01:29] ubuntu_sucks: yep that makes sense. lol. [01:29] kingofswords, you can make a image=clone of Lucid, http://clonezilla.org/ [01:29] King - clone the vm that lucid .. whatever it is, lynx was it???, was installed on [01:30] trevorjay: it's overheating laptop [01:30] ubuntu_sucks: if thats the case, it's kinda silly you're still using it.. [01:30] so it does make sense [01:30] Where do trolls find the time? jesus. [01:30] KM0201: well it means it sucks? [01:30] ubuntu_sucks: not ubus fault [01:30] urlin2u, isnt it easier to use update manager? im on 10.04 at moment [01:30] im not trolling im stating a fact [01:30] * KM0201 sighs... he'll never get it. [01:30] You are being vague.. [01:30] ubuntu_sucks: set your system up correctly it wont happen [01:30] lol clean install [01:31] kingofswords, suggest a extra so if the upgrade fails you just slip back in the lucid, it's insurance. [01:31] I [01:31] bios settings are good too [01:31] ubuntu_sucks: there's a lot of blame... but its not ubuntu's fault.. 1. the package doesn't support your system, it said so in the package description, 2. get upset w/ toshiba for not producing proper tools, 3. YOU should research laptops better, if you want to use linux on them. === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm|ubuntu [01:31] urlin2u, an extra? u mean burn it to cd? [01:31] ubuntu_sucks: its more than like your fans arent being controlled correctly [01:31] KM0201: HAHA n1 now it's mu fault [01:31] kingofswords, did you look at the clonezilla link? [01:31] special laptops for ubuntu [01:32] trevorjay: maybe [01:32] Hi - is there any application in ubuntu where I can set the screencapture video resolution to to more than my native resolution ? [01:32] ubuntu_sucks: i dont see who else's fault it could be.. .. [01:32] Ubuntu works very well on my Toshiba X505 - but theres a great deal of varity in power saveing/features/settings that are or are not supported in linux by laptop makers. [01:32] ubuntu_sucks: look up your model and figure out what it needs [01:32] im looking [01:32] ubuntu_sucks - not special laptops, just those that conform to the publish standards. [01:32] kingofswords, you v=can make a complete copy of lucid to a external drive in packets, so if your upgrade fails you still have the original [01:32] scythefwd: and the cheap ones the script kiddies purchase [01:32] ubuntu_sucks: but first, stop trolling because your laptop is made incorrectly [01:32] ive yet to figure out why hw makers always seem to change their standards. [01:33] urlin2u, ah so its a ghost image? [01:33] kingofswords, in MS words yes. [01:33] ubuntu_sucks: by incorrectly I mean different than all of their others [01:33] urlin2u, can i make the clone image to my hdd or even the windows partition? [01:33] ubuntu_sucks: You don't appear to be actually attempting to get support. If you'd like to stay in this channel please change your nick and keep your comments constructive. [01:33] Jordan_U: well you dont help me at all. [01:34] kingofswords - what vm are you running it on? Vmware, VirtualPC ?? [01:34] kingofswords, yes if there is room, about equal to the data in Ubuntu needed, but on install back you need the same partition or bigger. [01:34] scythefwd, erm ? [01:34] ubuntu_sucks: This is your last warning. Please change your nick and keep your comments constructive. [01:34] urlin2u, so itll be around 700meg? do i need to put it on the windows partition then? [01:35] scythefwd, what are you talking about? [01:35] Jordan_U: I was trying to get help with this but now I say FUCK YOU and ban me bye [01:35] kingofswords, your ubuntu install is where now that is a cd size a ISO size. [01:35] patience is a virtue. [01:35] What does %U mean in the command line of an application launcher? [01:35] and that ends todays lesson on how to not get help in an irc chat room. [01:36] th0r - is that the ones that will work??? [01:36] scythefwd - what do you mean by subnet, like the other devices either wirelessly or wired and connected to the server? [01:36] MK``: Ive seen tht documented somewhere.. on the nautulus scripts docs. i think it may be the path to the file. not sure where i saw it at [01:36] kingofswords - sorry, crossing conversations here.. NM [01:36] urlin2u, you mean what partition? [01:36] kingofswords, you have a installed ubuntu right, should be at least 3.5 gigs [01:37] MK``: Hmm. not in the naut scripts docs.. You could try making a script that print the variavble :) to see what its set to. [01:37] urlin2u, yeh im in ubuntu now it 10.04 lts alternate....to make clone image do i have to leave ubuntu? [01:37] eross - oh lordy.. this is usually a couple hour long block of instruction. [01:38] kingofswords, you're not understanding or communicating in a sense that makes sense this is a waste of time, sorry. ;( [01:38] i can't ping my other intranet pc , can't ping the router gateway unless it's switched back to dhcp [01:38] eross - create a room and tell me where you went... there's too much chatter in here to try and explain Ip subnetting and how that effects network routing and connectivity in here [01:38] ok [01:38] urlin2u, oh hang on i have 8gb usb stick....would that be best place [01:38] I'm using kubuntu 11.04, fresh install. When I bring up konsole, then try to resize it from the bottom-right corner of its window, my entire system completely freezes, although the cursor seems to move around a bit, somewhat randomly, but also as if delayed touchpad or mouse actions are also getting through somehow. I also lose keyboard (laptop) input. [01:38] <_deXter_> Hi all, trying to mount a filesystem at bootup using fstab but it fails to mount; I get an error "Unrecognized mount option "uid=1000" or missing value" [01:39] #help_please [01:39] Also... when I see the login screen, the bottom gray bar is across the middle of the screen. Why would that be? [01:39] _deXter_: paste the exact line here for us to look at. [01:39] urlin2u i dont really understand what u r saying [01:39] <_deXter_> Dr_Willis: http://pastie.org/2409087 [01:39] pastebin for a single line? :) [01:40] how do i turn my system bell on i am trying tp do print '\a' [01:40] <_deXter_> Well, it's a long line.. [01:40] in python which should work [01:41] _deXter_: i would remove most of the options, i think some may be incorrect.. then add in the ones you need [01:41] <_deXter_> Dr_Willis: Okay, will try [01:41] _deXter_: and im not sure that fmask and dmask work with ext2/3/4 [01:41] <_deXter_> Dr_Willis: oh! [01:41] ahhhhh I am going insane, why I can only access google pages................ [01:41] _deXter_: then again.. for ext2/3/4 you souldent want uid/gid either.... [01:42] system bvell / Xfce Terminal terminall bell? how do i turn it on [01:42] <_deXter_> Dr_Willis: I added that because I needed rw perms for the whole partition [01:42] <_deXter_> So that I don't need to chmod/chown it [01:42] _deXter_: and auto,users just seems odd.. [01:42] _deXter_: that wont work i belive... === dcat_ is now known as dcat [01:42] <_deXter_> Dr_Willis: So there's no way to get rw perms without having to chmod ? [01:42] at least i dont think you can mount fs and override the permissions on the files. for ext2/3/4 [01:43] Whenever my Sony Vaio laptop is waken up from sleep, it acts as if it's a fresh boot up, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? [01:43] _deXter_: not that ive ever seen.. [01:43] (Namely to get it to sleep/resume properly) [01:43] <_deXter_> Thing is that is the /home partition for another distro I'm dual-booting so I don't want to change the perms [01:43] _deXter_: i always add my users in the same order. so they get the same uid. but for differnt disrtos that may not work. ie: redhat starts at a differnt # i think [01:44] how long does it take to update to next ver of ubuntu? [01:44] kingofswords: new release every 6 mo. [01:44] I tried this to no avail: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug [01:44] <_deXter_> Dr_Willis: Yep, that's the problem, the uid is different [01:44] Dr_Willis, no i mean if i use update manager to go from 10.4 to 10.10? [01:45] does it dl the whole 700megs and does it take long to install? [01:45] kingofswords: would depend on the speeds of your connection. its bsically downlading some 600+mb of data.. then working on the install.. [01:45] ok thx....the install would take same or less time than a fresh install? [01:46] Good evening [01:46] kingofswords: depends of the speed of your system. On modern hardware a normal install takes about 40 minutes === ozior_ is now known as ozior [01:46] Seriphin: hi [01:47] I also tried this, with no luck: http://weswilliamz.blogspot.com/2010/11/fix-ubuntu-1010-sony-vaio.html [01:47] edbian, thx...its 2.4 duo core with 4gb ram [01:47] Can someone direct me to an alternate download for the new 11.04 server torrent, the one on the offical website is bad redirect. I need the 32 bit ver please. [01:47] kingofswords: 40 minutes, maybe 30 [01:47] cool [01:47] ahhh if i upgrade can i go from 64 bit to 32/ [01:48] no [01:48] kingofswords: [01:48] ok [01:50] Seriphin -- http://ca.isohunt.com/download/291288725/f083688df0b00675197aff464aa1c7eabf879c99.torrent [01:50] Hmm... this website (http://fabiostrozzi.eu/2010/12/09/ubuntu-10-10-on-sony-vaio-vpcf13v5e-work-in-progress/) says the line should be: SUSPEND_MODULES=”xhci_hcd”, as apposed to "xhci-hcd", would that be correct?

[01:53] does upgrding ubuntu ver keep my settings? [01:53] the free space is unallocated [01:53] mostly does cept if the prog is obsoleted [01:53] Guest71158, sisnce you know not how to do it it helps to have a picture, takes out the guessing, you would not want any guessing would you? [01:53] Guest71158, ok, just slide the slider to overtake the empty unused space , make sure to use the correct color [01:53] how to move the swap file to the end of the disk without breaking it? [01:53] the color that matches the linux partition [01:54] hi [01:54] Guest71158, DONT mess with swap, its fine where it lies [01:55] Anyone use GEdit? Where do I put third-party plugins?

Thanks so much man! :) [02:09] Love you IRC guys [02:10] Quick printing question (hopefully): Anyone know if it's possible to specify a blank page in the gnome printing dialog page range field? [02:10] when i click on the main menu icon, and click logout< does anyone know the command it runs to bring up that logout dialog box to choose logout or switch users? [02:10] zelozelos: Are you trying to use an alternate WM? [02:11] nsd_, no just gnome, but i use cario dock instead of the panels, but for some reason the power icon cairo dock has wont logout, only pulls up the shutdown dialog, [02:12] zelozelos: Oh, okay. I don't think it's possible to get that dialog with a command unfortunately. In my case, I am using FVWM, so I wrote a script to emulate its behavior (but it's FVWM only) [02:13] nsd_, ah yeah, that wont work at all, you're prob right about the command i think the dialog is built into the applet, however i know one exists ive seen it b4 [02:13] urlin2u, whats that abuot? and how to get it [02:13] zelozelos: Well if there is one, I don't know it, sorry. Have you tried using apropos to find it (as opposed to google?) [02:14] The command apropos, that is [02:14] apropos? [02:14] zelozelos, apropos searches man pages [02:15] Hi [02:15] !u [02:15] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information.

[02:16] zelozelos: Oh, I don't know, you just have to search a bunch of things, maybe grep the output for gnome [02:16] i just installed vmware 2.0 on my ubuntu natty desktop [02:16] hi, I am confused about file permissions. I have a directory /var/www, which is owned by root, group root and has permission drw-rw-rwT. user tim is unable to read files or make new folders in that directory. I'd like to be able to.

[02:16] there was a prompt stating if i wanted to use admin '' and the default was [no] [02:17] what i need is a way to capture the window id [02:17] so now it states that the user is "root" [02:17] zelozelos, i doubt you'll find anything in apropos for what you want :| [02:17] when I opened the https://localhost:8333/ui to access it, i cannot use root, since it doesn't have a password [02:18] i cannot use my account either [02:18] Please help me, I can connect to my ubuntu via VNC (using ultravnc) and I can control it with my mosue and keyboard but the screen isn't animated. it's a still picture! so I can't see what I'm doing unless I turn my back and look at the physical monitor that I'm controlling! Please help I'm clueless! [02:19] I can't delete a directory from my USB drive. I tried doing so as root but it still won't work. === tum is now known as Guest13242 [02:20] Afflicto, perhaps try a different VNC client? sorry i'm not familiar with the options on MS clients. Good luck. [02:21] Starminn, is this a permission issue? what output do you get when you try? what filesystem type is it? [02:21] zykotick9: It tells me that the folder that cannot be deleted is a "Read-only file system" [02:21] Zykotick9: I have tried 2. ANd they both worked earlier today. [02:22] hi. [02:22] Starminn, remount the USB with r/w [02:22] RealVNC\TightVNC. [02:22] no. sorry. RealVNC and UltraVNC. [02:22] Afflicto, sorry i don't know then, best of luck. [02:23] zykotick9: How do I do that? Everything else can be deleted, just not the directory (all containing files were deleted fine). [02:23] html, if you use the multisystem device, I have found it to only work with the fat32 partition on the thumb formatted in gparted. [02:23] Starminn, what filesystem type is the USB? [02:23] that something to think about .... [02:23] zRomayn: i just installed vmware 2.0 on my ubuntu natty desktop. there was a prompt stating if i wanted to use admin '' and the default was [no] . so now it states that the user is "root" . when I opened the https://localhost:8333/ui to access it, i cannot use root, since it doesn't have a password. i tried it with the account i set initially in ubuntu and it doesn't let me in. any ideas? [02:24] zykotick9: "msdos" [02:24] oHH! another idea, what command can i run via alt+f2 that will save and logout of the current session? (i guess it will work in a terminal as well..dk)?? [02:24] ok I just tried TightVNC too. now I've tried 3 different ones. the problem must be on the ubuntu side. [02:24] Afflicto: what are you actually seeing? [02:24] you say it's a still image, but is it an image of your desktop [02:25] or just a blank screen? [02:25] for shutdown there this dbus-send --dest=org.gnome.SessionManager /org/gnome/SessionManager org.gnome.SessionManager.Shutdown [02:25] zelozelos -- sudo pkill KILL -u username [02:25] gr33n7007h, wont that just kill the current session, i want it to logout normally [02:26] ah ok sorry ;) [02:26] do u think if i switch .Shutdown to .Logout? [02:26] help, can someone tell me how i can change the login screen? [02:26] or, how i can make my own? [02:27] speedrunnerG55, like with a theme? easy answer is - you can't. [02:27] i cant? why [02:27] speedrunnerG55, thers a prog in the repo ummm...dont remember what its called, but you can change the background [02:27] is that all? [02:27] its for customizing all of gnome [02:27] o_o [02:28] i believe it was new for 9.4 [02:28] im looking now [02:28] repo? [02:28] Every release lately seems to be getting worse. [02:28] speedrunnerG55, gdm3 doesn't support the old themes, and new ones have been slow to emerge. It is "possible" to change a couple of themes, with Ubuntu-Tweak [02:29] teak? [02:29] tweak? [02:29] ah yeah its ubuntu tweak [02:29] very nice prog, also check out grub customizer if you're dual booting [02:30] and if you do remember, sudo update-grub2 [02:30] hehee [02:30] zelozelos -- dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.SessionManager /org/gnome/SessionManager org.gnome.SessionManager.Logout uint32:1 [02:30] i cant find it in synaptic pakage manager [02:30] OH awesome gr33n7007h ill give it a try right now! thank you [02:31] grub2? [02:31] ;_; [02:31] why cant i change it? [02:32] can i in linux mint? [02:32] 42 [02:32] 42? [02:32] :( [02:33] Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and ...‎ [02:33] something. [02:33] ?me cries [02:33] * speedrunnerG55 cries [02:33] speedrunnerG55, http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [02:33] ^ [02:33] gr33n7007h, yup that works perfectly, ty again now i can get rid of the last panel on my desktop ;) [02:33] your welcome [02:34] I am being asked to type in the root password when trying to mount an external drive, how can I correct this? [02:34] act, maybe i should just permanently hide it [02:34] Vindoz: I see the image of the screen. but The framrate is at ZERO. Therefore, I only see the image of the monitor as it is the instant I connect. [02:34] maybe the device permissions are set to root. [02:35] chown'd [02:35] I guess my jokes are extra bad today heh [02:35] rstreeter: chown, chmod, and chgrp are the commands used to set permissions on files and directories. [02:36] I will give that a try thanks [02:36] perhaps if you change the permission on the devices root folder(s) to match your user permissions you'll be able to automatically mount without a root password [02:36] Does any1 know how to install mutiply firefoxs in ubuntu [02:37] You could install one regular and one with one and one with playonlinux [02:37] one with wine* [02:38] Thought about it that way interesting, say how stable is it through wine/playonlinux [02:38] is there a way to reverse a sorted list so that it is higher to lower? [02:39] x0rs, sort -r perhaps? [02:39] I wouldn't call it unstable. But it's definatly got its quirks. [02:39] It works fine. [02:39] zykotick9, oh sorry, thought i was in python channel [02:40] hey I need some assistance setting up ATI Radeon X1200 on this laptop glxgears is just blank I'm running 11.04 in "ubuntu classic" whatever that is where is a good place to start? It looks like it defaulted to the ATI Radeon drivers should I be using fgl stuff instead? [02:40] indeed I go that route for now thx [02:40] like what logs should I check and soforth [02:40] I cant even kill X cause gdm just restarts it so cant run xorgconfig [02:41] So, nobody can help me? :( [02:41] mamakirc.no-ip.org [02:41] I guess I'll reinstall. [02:41] jolynn, to solve that issue use "sudo service gdm stop" [02:41] ahh [02:41] thanks [02:41] What was your question afflicto? [02:42] I can't VNC my ubuntu PC. [02:42] zykotick9: any other pointers before I exit X here? [02:42] jolynn, sorry i can't/don't assist with ATI stuff. Good luck. [02:42] I'm trying to control my ubuntu-pc from my win 7. I can see the first initial frame of the desktop upon connection. and I can control it with my mouse\keyboard. but frames to not update. [02:43] zykotick9: do you know how to at least reinstall drivers from commandline like what is the base dependency for apt-get or whatever? [02:43] have you tried a different keyboard/mouse? [02:43] Possible to reinstall Vim? === Logan_ is now known as Guest99275 [02:43] Like if they are USB try a PS/2 [02:43] Therefore, it's useless because I have to turn my head and look at the physical monitor.. [02:43] jolynn, for nvidia i do, for ati i don't. sorry. [02:43] I broke it by adding a colorscheme that isn't there. :\ [02:43] Hello all.. I want to upgrade a specific package (libdrm-intel1) but I'd like to backup the current version.. later perform the package upgrade... How can I backup this current package? [02:43] zykotick9: k thanks dude [02:44] rodhash, have a look in /var/cache/apt perhaps you will find the DEB there? [02:45] zykotick9: No, there's no deb file there [02:45] rodhash, sorry don't know then. [02:45] omg I think I found the solution. Someone said: "turn off compiz - set graphics effects to none." on a forum post... [02:45] Afflicto: are you saying this to me? [02:46] is there a ubuntu notify / growl system i can use [02:46] ? is there an software available or service in ubuntu that can provide a link-layer topology discovery similar to windows [02:46] 42 [02:46] rodhas: no to myself lol :P [02:48] is there a defacto ubuntu notificatoin s ystem? [02:48] Can you clarify your meaning? [02:48] a growl / "pop up" notification system [02:49] Does anyone know how to completely disable all Compiz Effects? I need to disable it so VNC works. thanks. [02:49] fission6: What do you want to be notified of that the default system does not do? [02:49] a running python script, i need some means of "notification" of a background job [02:49] Afflicto, Unity or Gnome? [02:50] fuck unity [02:50] Did I type that outloud? [02:50] afflicto - check out ccsm , it can be apt-get installed [02:50] thanks again scythefwd [02:50] np [02:50] Afflicto, if Gnome you can use alt+f2 then "metacity --replace" [02:50] ok so no recommendations === logan__ is now known as Logan_ [02:55] Is this channel always this serious? [02:56] YES! :D [02:56] I fixed it [02:57] Afflicto: You mean zykotick9 helped you fix it? [02:58] actually. I did this: gconftool -s -t string /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current /usr/bin/metacity [02:58] gconftool -s -t string /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default /usr/bin/metacity [02:58] As far as I know it ovverides that other compiz thing so yea :P But thanks alot though :) [03:00] sup [03:01] WAZZUPPP YOOO [03:02] wilder: #ubuntu-offtopic is what you're looking for I think. [03:02] Where do I put vim plugins in Ubuntu? [03:02] brilliant. [03:04] xfce doesn;t shutdown, it only logs out... [03:04] Aple: You can get the package "vim-scripts" [03:04] hey guys i have a laptop hard drive thats starting to fail and i want to make a backup img onto my larger external drive so i can replace the drive.. any advice on some programs similar to norton ghost or something? [03:04] hylian: When you do waht? [03:05] rypervenche, when do i want? [03:05] rypervenche, wheni click shutdown or reboot, it logs out instead. [03:06] Aple -- /usr/share/vim/ [03:06] rypervenche: k, I have vim-scripts. Now what? :) [03:06] Cpt_Zyph: dd [03:06] rypervenche, don't worry about my problem, help Aple my problem is not a big deal. [03:06] Aple: Use the command "vim-addons" [03:06] Cpt_Zyph, clonezilla is a livecd similar to NG [03:07] hydh, sudo shutdown -1 ? an alternate [03:07] err hylian sudo shutdown -1 ? an alternate [03:07] Aple: For example, "vim-addons install gnupg" [03:08] Aple: Do "vim-addons list" to see which you have. [03:08] IAmNotThatGuy, i know how to shutdown the system, but i want to do it from the gui, the normal way. [03:08] thanks ryper [03:08] Can I get Sparkup and Snipmate that way? [03:08] hylian: Are you clicking it? Pressing ctrl+alt+del to get it? Pressing the power button? [03:08] hylian, might be a bug.http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10941852&postcount=4 [03:08] I tried sparkup with no success [03:09] rypervenche, i am using the dropdown menu on the top right. [03:09] Aple: Is sparup in the list of plugins available in vim-scripts? [03:09] sparkup* [03:09] Where can I find that? [03:09] Aple: vim-addons list === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [03:10] Oh, those are the available ones. Hm [03:10] No, it's not in there [03:11] Aple: If not, you have to manually put the script in your vim scripts folder. [03:11] Which is in /usr/share/vim/ ? [03:11] urlin2u, i see. i think i'll have to wait untill the repos catch up for this fix. thanks. [03:11] rypervenche, thanks for the help [03:11] Aple: I have my gnupg.vim in both ~/.vim/plugin/ and /usr/share/vim-scripts/plugin/ [03:12] hylian, in the add to panel are usually a shutdown button as well, I would try that as well, hard to say really. [03:12] Aple: I think both would work, depending on if you want it for everyone's use, or just your own. [03:12] need help installing WikidPad for Ubuntu. Can someone please help? [03:13] urlin2u, thanks. other than that, xfce runs like a charm. [03:14] ryper: Just my own. Dude in #vim told me to get pathogen [03:14] That he just puts everything in ~/vim_bundles and voila! [03:15] So he has plugins like ~/vim_bundles/sparkup and ~/vim_bundles/snipmate and everything just works fine [03:15] mayenife, which ubuntu release? [03:15] 11.04 [03:15] mayenife, do you have the debi? [03:16] not sure what that means [03:17] if i install ubuntu dual boot on a laptop with windows already installed, should ubuntu be installed on a partition that is on the same hard disk as windows and how will drivers work?? [03:19] is bitchX availible for ubuntu? [03:19] it can surely run on ubuntu, but it might not be in the software center [03:19] mayenife, debi is a package type, here is a link install gdebi to unpack it, it will tell you if your missing dependencies. http://wikidpad.en.uptodown.com/ubuntu [03:20] jiohdi, bitchx is no longer support. i believe irssi is an alternative. [03:20] anyone aware of any quick fixes for no sound in flash in either firefox or chrome after but I get sound through rhythmbox, mythtv, etc. I've tried different versions of flash, the open source flash players, different versions of firefox - and I believe it happened after upgrading to mythbuntu 10.04 [03:20] zykotick9 thanks [03:20] I've tried various fixes mentioned in threads with no luck [03:21] something often mentioned is adding a line to firefoxrc but the file didn't even exist - and it wouldn't exlpain why it doesn't work in chrome [03:22] orificium, do you have pulseaudio installed? [03:23] yes it's installed [03:23] get rid of it? [03:23] orificium, no. [03:23] I can't find any info about setting up my game pad [03:24] its a steelseries 3gc controller [03:24] orificium, sorry i don't have any suggestions, but I've had issues with only ALSA and flash. [03:24] is there a way to tell if I'm using alsa versus pulseaudio [03:24] orificium, "ps aux | grep pulse" see if it's running [03:25] yup [03:25] is there a way to tell flash to route through pulseaudio as opposed to say alsa [03:26] like you can with VLC and other video players [03:26] !help [03:26] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:26] * hylian sings "Everybody wang chung tonight." [03:27] hylian: you must be a Legend of Zelda fan, eh? [03:28] RudyValencia: ohh yes, i am. [03:28] Kage, setting up? does the system recognize it? [03:28] :D [03:28] ah [03:28] it says i have to install python-wxgtk and python-wxversion [03:28] where do i find those? [03:29] RudyValencia: most people don't recognize that, a gold star for you! :) [03:29] thank! [03:29] *thanks! [03:29] orificium -- Try this : System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications the press the add button /usr/bin/pulseaudio it worked for me ;) [03:29] mayenife, look in synaptic, it is in the menu. [03:30] zykotick9: dmesg sees it as a "DragonRise" device [03:30] My wireless connection is very jumpy. Using a realtek chip and the rtl892ce module [03:30] Kage, in a terminal "cat /dev/input/js0" then press buttons/move directions - see if you get character feedback [03:30] rtl8192ce [03:30] zykotick9: yes [03:30] Kage, so it's working then. [03:31] zykotick9: well, it has two joysticks on it [03:31] and it sees it as one [03:31] Kage, that i can't help with - good luck. [03:31] and some of the buttons respond the same [03:31] >.< [03:31] Kage: dragonrise is a type of video game joystick or gamepad. [03:31] oh and then reboot [03:32] hylian: ok... [03:32] Kage: heh, i somehow think you knew that already... @) [03:32] It will work for a short period of time, then slow down to a halt, even though it says it's connected [03:32] gr33n7007h: start-pulseaudio-x11 is already in there - is that doing the same thing? [03:33] hi [03:33] htmlinprogress: hello [03:33] no [03:33] had the same experience with LMDE, now running Natty [03:33] how are you ? [03:33] hylian: I didn't actually, I thought it was a brand [03:33] /usr/bin/pulseaudio starts the deamon [03:33] trust me it works [03:33] htmlinprogress, do you have an ubuntu support question? [03:33] alright I'll try it [03:34] Kage: actually, that's what I meant, it's a brand of a usb gamepad... [03:34] brb [03:34] htmlinprogress: i'm a live... [03:34] hylian: well, this isn't made by dragonrise, its made by steelseries [03:34] urlin2u should i be good to go after that? [03:34] then reboot [03:34] hylian: maybe I have the wrong driver? [03:35] whats this mean, it is from usb creator (An uncaught exception was raised: [03:35] [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/media/6110-1EAB/casper') trying to use mabuntu 11.04,,,,,,, and yres i was bing friendly [03:35] mayenife, if yu found what you were missing, probably, gdebi is pretty good at the install. [03:35] Kage: is it possible it was made by dragonrise for steelseries? there's a lot of that kinda thing that goes on in the industry, i.e. dell monitors actually being sony's. [03:35] gr33n7007h, if you're adding something to startup applications, you really only need to log out/back in. [03:35] ok. I've installed [03:35] i told to reboot [03:35] htmlinprogress: let me take a quick look, brb [03:35] hylian: maybe, but I mean, is suppose to have motion feedback [03:35] gr33n7007h, i know, and that isn't required [03:36] but I can't even figure out if that works [03:36] Kage, i've never seen a joystick/joypad driver before in gnu/linux [03:37] it just looks like its not working [03:37] hylian, ok [03:37] htmlinprogress, if you don't get anywhere fixing USB Creator try Unetbootin instead [03:37] mayenife, I didn't find much about it on the web I would look for a forum on that device. [03:38] htmlinprogress: this error is sometimes caused by not being able to write to a folder. does the program you are using have permissions to write to the folder you are using? [03:38] ok. Thank you very much for your help === tum is now known as Guest71079 [03:39] Kage: so what you are trying to do is get the feedback to work, and nada? does the game you are playing have that option? (if it's fairly old it probably won't) [03:40] hylian: what gmae is there that can use a joystick, it doesn't seem to work in any of the games I've tried [03:40] hylian, i haven't seen any feedback supported games/emulators in linux - i know i've seen the "experimental" option in the kernel mind you [03:40] hylain , im admin! so how could that be ? , and if i didnt then how do i get it fixed? [03:40] gr33n7007h: didn't help - daemon is definitely running [03:41] My wireless is like it fills up and gets clogged. [03:41] Kage, be sure to try configuring the game to look at /dev/input/jsX they ususally default to the old /dev/jsX [03:41] Kage most of the games can, but don't have force feedback. it just means the gamepad won't buzz in your hand if you get shot, for instance. [03:41] mayenife, no problem. === new001 is now known as x0rs [03:42] zykotick9: thanks, i am not a huge gamer, and the only thing with gamepads i have messed with was supertuxkart, for my nephews. :) [03:42] hylian, teamwork :) [03:43] what is the danger of having etc/passwd readable [03:43] can i discuss questions about "ubuntu one" in here? [03:43] webserver [03:43] wilder, it HAS to be readable! [03:43] so i should be able to cat it any time with any user? [03:43] wilder, yes [03:44] wilder, if you make it root only = system broken [03:44] bummer [03:44] hylain, im admin! so how could that be ? , and if i didnt then how do i get it fixed? [03:45] htmlinprogress, if you don't get anywhere fixing USB Creator try Unetbootin instead [03:45] are any/all my files in "ubuntu one" available to the public? or only files in the public folder? [03:45] itilious, there is an #ubuntuone channel that may be able to answer that better [03:46] htmlinprogress: you are, but not all programs and processes are, and some programs and processes need to be given permission in their group for programs to write out to a file in said folder. so if you are trying to write to /home/username/folder/ then it should be ok no matter what, but other folders are very pretected. [03:46] i guess i thought a jailed user shouldn't be able to read it [03:46] ty zykotick9 :) [03:46] htmlinprogress: in a terminal use "gksudo usb-creator-gtk" to run it with admin permissions. [03:46] example on this server user is jailed to home/user/ but i can cat ../../bin/passwd anyway [03:47] wilder, "jailed" what are you using FreeBSD? do you mean chrooted? [03:47] hylian, ok [03:47] htmlinprogress: what program are you using that gives you this error? [03:47] hylian, USB Creator [03:48] zykotick9: thanks [03:48] its a jail ssh user [03:48] that can do what I am asking about [03:48] hylian, usb creator [03:48] htmlinprogress: ah, this is actually a fairly documented problem. it's either an error with reading a file, or writing out to it. (usually) [03:49] orificium -- Try this : sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:49] htmlinprogress: i haven't personally used this program, have you tried gksu usbcreator in alt-f2? [03:50] zykotick9,hylian,bastidrazor, thanks yall but the flash drive was like had an attitude, so i fixed it :) [03:51] orificium you there? [03:51] I have a problem with my wireless connection in my laptop. Using a Realtek chip. [03:51] htmlinprogress: there's a report on this here: http://support.testflightapp.com/discussions/problems/406-errno-13-permission-denied-mediauploads227761301101421. the only problem is that this bug is marked as fixed, are you using a fairly old verion of ubuntu? [03:52] htmlinprogress: i like to hear that! took charge and fixed it, sounds like me :) [03:52] last question: anyone know how to rename tabs in WikidPad? [03:53] * hylian is listening to sky 80's, "Stevie Nicks - Leather And Lace"" [03:54] mayenife, are you using windows or ubuntu? [03:54] ubuntu [03:54] i want to make multiple tabs with different names [03:54] mayenife, then why does it say "WikidPad - wiki notebook for windows" [03:55] i got the ubuntu version [03:55] zykotick9: it's available here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/307647 [03:55] mayenife, try this http://wikidpad.sourceforge.net/help/KeyBindings.html [03:56] hylian, thanks [03:56] hylian: seem the game pad is hardwired the way it behaves [03:56] hylian: seems the left joy stick is tied to the left D pad [03:56] Kage: hmm, sorry man, getting it to work is dooable, getting it to foce feedback however... [03:56] hylian: and the right joy, to the 1-4 buttons [03:57] thanks urlin2u [03:57] im thinking it might be a bug because all the tabs are the same [03:57] Kage ohh i see, it won't let you set them the way you want, strange. i think that's why i am a logitech man. [03:57] mayenife, sounds like you have it working. ;-) [03:58] hylian: I bought it to play with, its fun, its has a turbo option too [03:58] lol wont be too productive for my notetaking :p [03:58] hylian: but it seems there are a lot Linux games that joystick support is broken [03:58] mayenife, why not eh. [03:58] hylian: comes with open source, I guess [03:59] hylian, usb flash drive itself had premissions from windows so i had to reset them , ( hate vista ) [03:59] i wanted to create different tabs: like note name 1, note name 2, etc. [03:59] Anyone here know how to make wireless less buggy? using the rtl8192ce module [03:59] hylian: expect that many of those project developers don't have joysticks so they endup breaking it without knowing [03:59] or a way to test [03:59] but when i open the tabs, i find each are exactly the same, content and name [03:59] urlin2u, "why not eh" what are you canadian? (i am) === katelynk_ is now known as katelynk [03:59] Kage: Hmm, i have never had any problems getting my logitech to work, however my gaming is with the linux only stuff, and it's always the simple stuff my nephews can play, i.e. supertuxkart. [03:59] cant edit one without editing all [03:59] zykotick9, no but I new you were. ;-) [04:00] hylian: they gamepad works great on supertux [04:00] Kage: could be. [04:00] doesn't work at all on two of the other games [04:00] (one of which I am a developer for) [04:00] >.> [04:00] Kage: yeah, a "gamer" i am not, not really. [04:00] hylian: nor me really [04:01] Had anyone run ubuntu off an SD card? How as it worked? Near the speed of a HDD? [04:01] has* [04:01] masteroc, much slower then HD [04:01] htmlinprogress: ok, so you where using windows, or a i goofed up with this? i use unetbootin to put a live cd image on my usb, other that storage that's all i do with it. [04:02] masteroc: i have, but just for purposes of installing the os. it ran very fast. [04:02] zykotick9, I missread the post I thought it basically said works great I'll use it, so my answer wa why not. [04:02] any1 had any experience with GNS 3 here ? [04:03] zykotick9: even a class 10? [04:03] uns0b1ll: sorry, never even hard of it. [04:03] hylian, its okay ) its very specific software anyway [04:03] masteroc, most SD cards interface using USB which is SLOW in compared to IDE/SATA/eSATA [04:03] what about helping me setup static IP :) [04:03] hai [04:04] masteroc, class 10 sandisk here good quality runs chunky. [04:04] how to see the remote desktop of window pc thru internet from my ubuntu pc [04:04] zykotick9: i used untetbootin to put xubuntu 11.04 on my SD card, it installed ubuntu in about 15 minutes, although xubuntu isn't exactly a taxing install os. [04:05] hylian, for install media it's ok, but for running an OS - SLOW [04:05] By the way..can you get OneNote on ubuntu? thanks everyone for your help tonite, especially urlin2u [04:05] Buenos dias! [04:05] zykotick9: good to know. [04:05] spanish? [04:05] sysko: hello [04:05] !es | sysko [04:05] sysko: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:05] sysko: no hable en espanol [04:05] ok [04:05] speack inglish?

[04:08] mayenife, I found this which references a Onenote clone, kde so more dependencies possibly. http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/07/microsoft-onenote-for-linux-2.html http://basket.kde.org/ [04:08] uns0b1ll, i want to connect over internet [04:08] rdp protocol works over LAN or WAN, just configure firewalls on both sides [04:09] anyone know why after installing moonlight, silverlight websites still ask you to download and install silverlight? [04:09] My computer is connected to the internet via RJ45, can I use wireless card to share internet, like gateway [04:09] urlin2u, thanks again. nite all [04:09] mayenife, take it easy. [04:09] mayenife: good night! :) [04:09] (just reposting in case someone who just joined knows...) My wireless connection is very jumpy. Using a realtek chip and the rtl8192ce module [04:11] hylian: moonlight doesn't support all silverlight features [04:11] nykur: are you asking a question? (i don't think i caught it...) [04:12] hylian: Yes, I'm having serious issues with my wireless. Don't even know where too start troubleshooting [04:12] xangua but it doesn't even report it's installed. if i atleast had a complaint about it, fine. but it acts as if moonlight is not even installed. [04:12] nykur: ohh boy... well i can try and help ya. [04:13] What's the custom "Open with" command for vim? [04:13] hylian: Many thanks! I'll try to describe the issue... [04:13] What [04:14] 's the command to list channels [04:14] hylian: It will work for a short period of time, then slow down to a halt, even though it says it's connected [04:14] I'm blind at the moment, don't see it in /help [04:14] Answer: gnome-terminal -x vim [04:14] Eugenicist: /msg alis help list [04:14] How about some compiz training here ? [04:14] did the same on LMDE on different networks [04:16] nykur: strange. when it does, can you try and ping google.com? have you seen if there is any net communications for anything, any port? although i don't know why that would happen.. maybe it's a hardware issue, are you using ndiswrapper? === _jesse__ is now known as _jesse_ [04:18] hylian: It will work perfectly for a minute, sometimes longer. Then it's like it gets clogged. it'll stay connected but I can't actually connect to anything. I am not using ndiswrapper, maybe I should? [04:18] how to enable compiz on bootup ? [04:18] nykur: what hardware are you using? [04:19] so to use DD do i need a live cd.. becuase this HP laptop dosnt work off most live disks the video drivers are all messed up.. [04:19] uns0b1ll, you need to state your actual problem probably, and which distro, and desktop. [04:19] i tried using a clonezilla boot cd but same problem i can't see anything or it errors out.. so figured i would try DD but .. well ya.. [04:20] I have a problem with my HDMI being used as default in Pulse aduio and the analogue will not work. How do I disable HDMI on my computer so it can't default to it? [04:20] hylian: Realtek RTL8188ce wifi adapter on a Toshiba Satellite Pro c660. Should I be more specific? [04:21] hylian: Do you want output from any particular command? [04:21] can DD be used to clone a drive if an OS is runing on it.. my guess is no.. im just wonder'n what to do sense i can't boot to a live img on this darn laptop.. [04:22] how do I disable: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [04:22] nykur: no that's good. hmmm.. i'll be honest, i've never had any serious problems with wifi in linux, but i am gonna take a look, brb [04:22] hylian: thanks [04:23] is there anyone here that knows about PulseAudio? [04:24] Can any one tell which is better one ? VM Ware or VirtualBox [04:24] Virtual Box [04:24] how well does synergy work on ubuntu. also -- which direction is which desktop, becasue i don't want my other computer to float to the left past the launchbar ? [04:24] Singham, VBox is open source, VMWare is not. [04:25] Singham, KVM is faster CPU wise anyways then either [04:25] oracle has closed source virtualbox [04:25] : But if I purchase VM Ware ,will it be more powerful ? [04:25] hylian: The funny thing is I used to have another Satellite runnning Xubuntu for years, but it suddenly started acting this way sometime after Hardy or Intrepid. [04:25] i heard synergy works great === bluemoon is now known as Guest41282 [04:25] share mouse and keyboard between 2 computers [04:25] Singham, no - it has a couple of cool feature, but I like vbox more (i use kvm though) [04:27] : can you please send me the download link on kvm ? [04:27] Gredeu, doesn't look like its closed source http://www.virtualbox.org/ - not saying that it couldn't be [04:27] Singham, i'd recommend you use VBox over KVM, it's easier and has 3d support [04:27] its not the virtualbox available in the repo there are significant differences [04:27] nykur: ok, i managed to dig up that there is a new driver for that card, and this is a problem with the 11.04, and i think the 10's. here's the link to where i got my info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1814675 [04:28] Singham, PLUS you NEED virt support in your CPU for KVM!!! "apt-get install kvm" should work [04:28] nykur: so i think yuo need to implement the new driver... [04:28] HELLO WORLD IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE! [04:28] hylian: nice, thanks! I'll look into it. I just have to find the driver now:-) [04:29] * hylian bebops to "Baltimora - Tarzan Boy" [04:29] Gredeu, LOL - you have things backwards, Oracle removed the OSE version and merged the propritary stuff [04:29] I need to know how to disable HDMI for good. My sound does not work. SOS Please Help. [04:29] nykur: there is a link to the driver, i believe, on that website. [04:29] : Actually I want to run all the windows games in Virtual Machine.In vbox I am unable to run games like Counter strike. [04:30] Singham, you can't run games in ANY virtualization software - sorry not possible [04:30] owner: hmm, let me take a look at that for you, never had anyone ask me that question, what's the sound card, do you know? [04:31] edbian: me amigo! [04:31] : Thanks dude.. [04:31] hylian: yes I saw it now thanks. I'll try this. For what it's worth I can confirm that the 3.0 kernel in LMDE does not fix this. Running Natty now so hopefully this will:-) [04:31] hylian: I'd love to talk but I'm busy at the moment :) [04:31] nykur: hope it helps! :) [04:31] hylian: joined #ubuntu because my client does automatically! [04:32] * hylian nods to edbian [04:32] hylian: Me to;-) [04:32] :D [04:33] * hylian jams to "A-Ha - Take On Me" [04:33] hylian: Please turn off that Now Playing script [04:34] IdleOne: it's not a script, it's my retardedness, and yes, i will be quiet :) [04:34] hylian thanks for getting back to me: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) is the one I must disable. === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:34] hey...new used to ubuntu, was wondering if someone could help me out [04:34] I try disabeling it in the PulseAudio sound setings, but it keeps defaulting to it. [04:34] does anyone have the gwibber DM problem? [04:34] With? [04:35] well [04:35] owner: i have seen this before in a dell. we actually had to disable this in the bios itself. are you familiar with your bios? === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest57566 [04:35] so is most people here pleased with unity? [04:35] Yes, however the onboard is what we want, not the video card [04:35] hylian [04:35] my problem is that my partitions on my hard drive are all messed up, and i WANT to install pinguy 11.04 and whenever i try it wont let me install...it always fails to install. im currently on a live cd [04:36] hylian: nykur here, actually, do you know if it's possible to add this module to a running kernel? [04:36] or should i say, i want to wipe my drive clean and install pinguy 11.04 [04:36] just having a bit of trouble since i know nothing of ubuntu or linux [04:36] hylian it has an NVIDIA graphics card installed and being used, but it appears it's using the HDMI audio on the onboard video. [04:36] hylian so I need to figure out how to disable the onboard video for goo? [04:36] owner: i might be wrong here, but i think you have 2 competing sound cards, if i am wrong, then clue me in, and so you have a problem with audio not working.. am I right? [04:36] good? [04:36] hylian:I'm not sure how to add the file [04:37] hylian yes. [04:37] ringberar, hit install and choose the whole disc when asked,it will overwrite evrything. [04:37] hylian the ATI HDMI is taking over the analogue [04:37] the option is there but it keeps defaulting back to HDMI. [04:37] i did [04:37] and it still fails urlin2u [04:37] owner: i have to admit, with the dell we disabled the intel sound card... hmmm... [04:38] hrafnkell_, to add a kernel module use "sudo modprobe FOO" [04:38] hrafnkell_: did you download it already? [04:38] I'm going to reboot and try disabeling it in the BIOS [04:38] hylian: yes, I've downloaded it and extracted the folder. [04:39] hrafnkell_: did you see zykotick9's info? to add a kernel module use "sudo modprobe FOO" [04:39] zykotick9: thanks dude! [04:40] hylian: yes, and thanks zykotick9:-) I guess it would be a bin file? [04:41] hrafnkell_: well, first you will want to own it, using chown a+x nameofbinfile, then ./nameofbinfile [04:41] hrafnkell_, that i don't know, I just commented on your "module running kernel" part - i haven't been following [04:42] hylian: so I have to chown it, then execute it and then modeprobe? [04:43] hylian: I'll fire up a terminal... [04:43] hrafnkell_: i think*. hard to go the rest of the way with you since i have never had this hardware or the need to do this myself. [04:45] hylian: That's alright, I'll manage from here. It's just been a while since I needed to do use the modprobe command. That's what happens when everything "just works" all the time;-) === puffin is now known as kentuckyfriedpuf [04:45] hrafnkell_: what a problem to have, LOL. [04:46] hrafnkell_: i can tell you that as far as the binfile stuff is concerned, that i know. [04:46] zykotick9: is IdleOne a bot? [04:46] hylian: hehe, yeah, even Debian is plug and play now! But many thanks! [04:47] hrafnkell_: cool beans dude. :) [04:47] hylian, LOL NO! [04:47] hylian: human with bot like attributes. [04:47] IdleOne: ahh, my mistake. === d_atharva_ is now known as Singham [04:48] IdleOne, i think this might be the 2nd time i've seen you pass the Turing Test ;) [04:48] IdleOne: i see you are using irssi, like me. [04:49] hylian: I'm not. Please feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic so that this channel can be Ubuntu support only. [04:49] IdleOne: ok, thanks. [04:55] i'm beat see you guys later. [04:56] hello, how can I conver a .tar.gz file to .img file? it contains a filesystem inside [04:56] (10.04) I plugged in a usb stick, deleted the files off of it but its still showing that the space is used - is there some 'trash' somewhere that needs to be cleared out? [04:57] hatch, yes [04:58] excellent and I would access that how? [04:58] hatch: usually it is in a .Trash dir [04:58] notice the . (dot) [04:58] in nautilus you can press ctrl-h to show hidden folders/files...the trash bin might show up then [04:59] there it is! [04:59] or use a command prompt and ls -la will list all hidden files/folders [04:59] ctrl+h was the key [04:59] billybigrigger_: yeah I was going to try that but I coudln't figure out how to access it from the terminal :)] [04:59] hatch, well atleast you got it === poop is now known as oBrian [05:00] On my Lucid there does not exist a process syslogd? What is the Lucid successor or substitute of a system logging daemon? [05:00] ok now how to I delete them, when I delete them it goes back into the trash [05:00] :) [05:01] oh there it goes [05:01] select what you want to delete, then press shift and the delete key [05:01] thanks for the help [05:01] Hi! I set System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts>Details resolution to a large value. Now the window I used to set it doesn't fit the screen, and is also empty. I logged in as another user on the system, it is in sudoers group - what file can I edit to set the value to what it was before? A search wasn't quite informative. Thank you in advance. [05:01] why is my internet flashing on and off on ubuntu? [05:01] does anyone have any idea as to this? [05:01] hi all... [05:02] anyone familiar with making bootable img files? [05:02] gry, are you talking about font dpi? [05:02] any body know how to burn iso using terminal? [05:02] billybigrigger_: Yes. [05:02] I have a filesystem as a tar.gz file that I want to put on a img file formatted as ext3 [05:03] gry, ok so you have a gui correct? [05:03] billybigrigger_: Yes. [05:03] Is there any way to get dejavu to backup more then once a day automatically? [05:03] gry, open gconf-editor [05:03] Done. [05:04] Desktop, gnome, font rendering, dpi, is it? [05:04] yup [05:04] :) [05:04] not sure if that is user based or system wide though [05:05] what's the diffrence between virtual box open source and licensed version ? [05:05] user based [05:05] everything in gconf is userbased [05:07] hello. I am having extreme difficulties installing ubuntu, as much as Id like to make the switch to linux, it isnt going very smoothly :( [05:07] I had to install using the nomodset flag, otherwise my display would "bug out" [05:07] billybigrigger_: User based. It worked. :-) [05:08] Cert: Please deliver an exact description. In particular: What error message do you obtain? [05:08] now, after it is installed, I get a GNOME power management error [05:08] Cert: Please deliver an exact description. In particular: What exact error message do you obtain? [05:09] bullgard4_: an exact error message would require a reboot into linux, it was something similar to GNOME power configurations not installed correctly, please contact your sys admin [05:09] I can certainly get the exact message though if necesary [05:10] Cert try regenerating your initramfs [05:10] Cert: I believe that you need to report here the exact error message in order that people here can help you. === kentuckyfriedpuf is now known as puffin [05:11] Hi everyone === trevor is now known as static_void_ [05:12] May I know how to find the domain name from an IP address, other than by nslookup? [05:12] I think 'host IP' uses it. So guess not. [05:13] melvincv: Try the whois command. [05:13] urlin2u [05:13] u there? [05:13] The 'whois' is a pain to parse, if you want to use that for programming. It uses arin.net to obtain the results. [05:13] Thanks, but right now I'm on windows. And a whois search on the Internet did not give me what I wanted... === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [05:16] i try to connect my laptop using vga to the tv. i reboot the laptop while the cable is connected. I see the splash screen but that's it. i can't see my computer on the tv anymore. the alt+f7 on my thinkpad is not doing anything. any ideas? [05:19] I am unable to connect to network using my system. I accidently removed the network manager packages? What all basic packages should I download so that I can connect to wifi. PS: I am using another system for downloading stuff [05:20] neeraj: I do not understand why you are using another system for downloading stuff and asking here in this channel for help. [05:22] bullgard4, As I am unable to connect to internet using Natty(It is not detecting ethernet and not showing wifi notifications applet), So I will need to download the packages by using another system. I just wanted to know what all basic deb files I should download. Is this clear now? [05:23] neeraj: How did you install Natty? [05:23] neeraj: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/ [05:23] (search package there, and you will see the dependencies) [05:24] neeraj: i would still go for manual network setup rather than move packages and install them manually [05:24] (with ethernet: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ ) [05:26] bullgard4, I installed it using bootable using pendrive, months back. susundbe1g thanks ! [05:31] On my Lucid there does not exist a process syslogd? What is the Lucid successor or substitute of a system logging daemon? [05:35] I need some help...I'm getting this error message trying to install Ubuntu Server on an AMD Athlon 64 system: Unable to install the selected kernel; Kernel package: 'linux-server' [05:35] should I try to install x86? === root is now known as Guest3115 [05:36] hey all, sorry guys may i ask a question here about back|track or i got the wrong place ? [05:37] Guest3115: BackTrack is pretty heavily customized. You'd have better luck on a forum or channel dedicated to it. [05:38] e_t_, thanks, it sounds like it's not my thing since I'm a new dude in this field, is that correct? [05:39] anyone available to answer my question? [05:39] !ask | chpe88 [05:39] chpe88: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:39] chpe88: I would search in Launchpad for your exact error message. [05:39] chpe88: sorry, didn't see your question earlier [05:41] Guest3115: BackTrack is designed for penetration testing. If you're new to Linux and just want to get your feet wet, it's probably not for you. [05:41] Guest3115: Newcomers to Linux should not use backtracks. [05:42] Guest3115: (Bad English.) I meant: Newcomers to Linux better do not use backtracks. [05:44] e_t_, bullgard4_ thanks guys :) should i start with Linux Mint? i have been suggested that OS for many guys, is that really cool one for freshman ? [05:45] when I am trying to ssh with ssh demo@192.168.1.209, I am getting error ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.209 port 22: Connection refused [05:45] Guest3115, this is, if you have not yet noticed, a channel about #ubuntu. We generally sort of maybe like ubuntu, and most of us think its pretty good for new users. [05:45] Guest3115: I started with Kubuntu, but I've heard good things about Mint too, though I've never used it myself. [05:45] Guest3115: I believe that Mint is graphically appealing for freshmen. But you will get more help using Ubuntu. === puffin is now known as PuffBot [05:47] sunit: 'man ssh' will probably tell you why. [05:47] e_t_, bullgard4_ Thanks nice guys :) [05:47] Guest3115: Personally, I've used Gentoo, Debian, RedHat, OpenSuSE, etc. etc., [05:48] Guest3115: Ubuntu (stock ubuntu) seems to have the best support for general desktop usage. [05:48] I have heard OpenSuSE is extremely hard... i overheard that its the hardest Linux out there [05:48] Guest3115: That's not entirely correct. There is a lot of oneclick stuff that makes life in opensuse easier === head_victim is now known as Guest97921 [05:49] Guest3115: I would say gentoo is probably the most challenging to install (other than Linux from Scratch) [05:50] tntc, your suggestion is to start with Linux gentoo ? [05:50] ... [05:50] Guest3115: no, I would start with Ubuntu, and install gentoo in a VM. [05:50] not unless you have three days, very patient friends, and a strong desire to inflict pain upon yourself. [05:50] how can i use ls commando on console for this show me all files to begin with specific letter? [05:51] Masochism is absolutely essential. You -cannot- skip that step. [05:51] Gentoo gives an important understanding of how the kernel and such works, but it is terrible for day-to-day use. === PuffBot is now known as puffin [05:51] for example ls sort me all files wich begin with letter A ? [05:52] bambanx: ls a* ? [05:52] tntc, got it:) thanks Sr for explanation, ok ill do so... ill remove backtrack now and install gemtoo and ubuntu ) [05:52] bambanx: "All"? Then you better use the find command. [05:53] Guest3115: I'd install Ubuntu, and then install Virtualbox [05:53] Guest3115, -just- install ubuntu for now [05:53] and -then- worry about exploring other os [05:53] Guest3115: Virtualbox will let you test a variety of linux distributions in a safe, contained way [05:54] tntc, I think in my case it would be better not using VB... because im running TB HDD and have no luck of space, would't this be better ? [05:54] what kind of people have virtual box [05:54] lion42, Thanks so i don't need this so-called "Linux Mint" im pretty new i have no idea which works how... [05:54] Guest3115, you are a noob. partitioning manually = things can go wrong. Hard os = things can go wrong. [05:54] Guest3115: dual booting is kind of a pain. It requires a lot more work [05:55] Start with -just- ubuntu and go from there. [05:55] for example ls show me all directories wich begin with letter D ? [05:55] there are no similations [05:55] hey everyone, is there anyone who can help me out with some indicator applet questions? [05:56] bambanx: find -name "D*" [05:56] !prefix | bambanx [05:56] bambanx: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:56] bambanx: though that will show files too [05:56] ) [05:57] tntc the find command look for on all my pc on the actual directorie of console? [05:57] tntc sorry for my english is bad =) [05:57] tntc, lion42 got it guys:) thanks... sounds like im going to install ubuntu for now, as i done ill be back for some basic questions, thanks guys for support and your time [05:58] Guest3115: Linux is awesome! [05:58] edbian, for those who handle it well, for sure it is... [05:58] bambanx: it looks in the directory you tell it. find / -name "D*" will get all files starting with D [05:58] Guest3115: Good luck :) [05:58] :) [05:59] bambanx: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find has some decent examples. [05:59] tntc thanks and what can i do if i need a list of directories wich begin with specific letter ? [06:00] join #ubuntu [06:00] why linux [06:01] bullgard4_ : even when I am trying to ssh connect from remote machine I am getting error - Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [06:01] anyone here who can help me with an indicator applet question? [06:01] anaithnid: ask your question and find out. [06:02] bambanx: find / -name "D*" -type d [06:02] !anyone | anaithnid [06:02] sunit: You could try to find the culprit in /var/log/auth.log too.

See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [06:03] anyone here? [06:03] no [06:03] TT_TT [06:03] I've never used IRC before' [06:03] thanks wildbat [06:03] i have the asus m4a88td-m/usb3 board and i am having a lot of trouble getting it set up. It gives me a black screen when trying to boot and i have to reset the computer. I read it has something to do with the pata controller and when i unplugged my pata dvd drives i got it to boot. Is there a fix to make it work with the drives? [06:03] Join channel with over 1000 users. Ask "anyone here???" [06:04] well I am wondering how to go about removing redundant items (empathy and pidgeon) and what else I can do with it, I cou;d not find to much about where to even start looking for myself [06:04] wildbat this show me to much thnigs , i cannot read the first lines on console [06:04] linux is good for estudy the system [06:04] !ask | GypsiRae [06:04] GypsiRae: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:05] bambanx: find / -name "D*" -type d 2 > /dev/null [06:05] bambanx: find / -name "D*" -type d 2> /dev/null [06:06] why the aconecions are still not ssh [06:06] thanks wildbat [06:06] okay, well I recently edited an xcf file, cropped it, saved over and gimp quit. I thought I only changed one file but the jpg that originally came from the xcf file ended up cropped as well even tho its thumbnail is the full version. I want an uncropped version because i spent four days on it! is there any way I can restore the xcf file or jpg?? esp since the jpg's thumbnail knows what it really looks like? [06:07] bullgard4_ : please see http://pastebin.com/a7By0tNR where can get auth.log [06:08] save tin other format and kepp current cuality [06:08] GypsiRae: highly unlikely , thou you can try with photorec. [06:09] why would both files have changed, tho, if I only saved it once?? [06:09] its only a sugestion [06:09] I am running scalpel atm, will try photorec next === Guest97921 is now known as head_victim [06:10] query: the thumbnail refuses to show cropped version, despite restart and refreshes. does that mean the uncropped version exists somewhere?? [06:10] GypsiRae: may be when you close it, it ask you to save and you clicked it [06:11] that doesn't explain the obstinate thumbnail tho eh? [06:12] sunit: Here is the culprit: "# Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: @@@; Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: Permissions 0777 for '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key' are too open. # Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. # Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: This...

I am having problems booting xubuntu 11.04 [06:15] it loads the kernel but the graphics never load. [06:15] GypsiRae: may be ~ may be you exported one and saved one [06:15] does GIMP save temp images that might could get grabbed by scalpel?? [06:15] lizbeth, fresh install? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:15] GypsiRae: may be ~ search /tmp [06:15] urlin2u, almost. I had 10.10 with /home in a separate partition.

[06:17] r= misstype lizbeth [06:17] urlin2u, I am on the recovery right now. [06:17] hi all [06:17] What do? [06:17] choose failsafe scrool to that line [06:18] !hello | K-Rich [06:19] lizbeth, in recovery did you mean the desktop? [06:19] urlin2u, its on a loop right now. [06:19] urlin2u, no I mean the recovery option when you are booting and want to correct errors. [06:20] lizbeth, didn't go to a command line from the failsafe? [06:20] urlin2u, it kicked me back into the option menu of the recovery mode. FailsafeX didn't worked. [06:21] urlin2u, nop, it kicked me back into the menu with the "resume", "clean", "dpkg", etc options. [06:21] lizbeth, try hitting e and replacing splash in the kernel with nomodeset, then crtl-x to boot [06:21] lizbeth, last was for at gry=ub menu. [06:22] grub [06:22] urlin2u, ok. What do I do on the grub menu now? [06:22] het e and replace splash with nomodeset then hot crtl-x to boot [06:23] hit/hit [06:23] * K-Rich wants what urlin2u has been smoking [06:23] :) [06:23] urlin2u, e doesn't do anything besides printing an e on the screen. [06:25] lizbeth, at the grub menu e does not open the edit [06:25] urlin2u, nop [06:26] i know how works a pen [06:26] lizbeth, strange it should with a new install and a separate home I have no idea otherwise. [06:27] Do you want me to start a sesion as root from the grub? [06:27] in terminal mode? [06:27] urlin2u, [06:27] lizbeth, know what the grub menu is at poweron right? [06:27] you [06:28] okay here is a questino. I just recovered a lot of files with scalpel, but they are unknown file type and won't open. how do i open files scalpel has recovered?? [06:28] The one which let you choose among recovery and normal? [06:28] urlin2u, [06:28] On my Lucid there does not exist a process syslogd. What is the Lucid successor or substitute of a system logging daemon? [06:28] lizbeth, that is where your getting no e for edit? [06:29] hi [06:29] urlin2u, got it now. [06:29] ubuntu linux 2.6.23-8-generic. [06:30] hit e then replace splash with nomodeset [06:30] i have an iso, how do i use the checksome (fedora 14) [06:30] or after it [06:30] htmlinprogress: This is the Ubuntu help channel.

Its a progress at least :D [06:33] lizbeth, the only theory if all is in order that the fstab isn't mounting home, not my area though seperate home. [06:34] urlin2u, in recovery mode on terminal the command 'ls' seems to work. [06:34] with the home I have. urlin2u [06:34] lizbeth, still beyond my help really. [06:35] urlin2u, thanks.

No worries. [06:52] ok [06:52] hello everyone [06:52] hi [06:53] so , this is a command [06:53] interesting [06:53] hello everybody... skuse me... I need help with this: wanna echoing the numbers inside a string (i.e. mystring32, then echoing only 32)... how do I do? [06:55] GummyBear: You may want to look up how to turn a string into an array. Then you can return the values you want from the array. [06:56] GummyBear: good question [06:57] e_t_: is there any fast method with AWK?? [06:57] GummyBear: echo "string123" | grep -o '[0-9]*' [06:58] * Guest95783 is a pink bunny [06:58] whoppergator: ok, it looks like I'm looking for... let me try [06:59] GummyBear: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man3/string.3erl.html [06:59] whoppergator: no, I've no oputput [07:00] bullgard4_: what shall I do ? [07:00] GummyBear: what did you type in exactly? [07:00] I'm trying with AWK but is printing all the entire line... DEVICE=`echo $STRING | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/" } ; /[0-9]*/ { print $4 }'` [07:01] OMG photorec is getting corrupted versions of my gimp file!! that means I'm only two days of work behind instead of four [07:01] whoppergator: I need only the numeric part of a string... where string is string123 I need only '123' as output... [07:01] sunit: Give less access rights to that file. [07:02] hi..how can I disable screec lock password ? [07:02] GummyBear: don't use ``, use $(), so try DEVICE=$(echo $STRING | grep -o '[0-9]*') [07:02] whoppergator: one guy suggested me to treat the string as an array... is a cool solution, but I don't know if with AWK is there any 'only one line' solution [07:02] help [07:02] hi [07:02] with? [07:03] hi , i want my machine boots faster , how can i achieve that ? [07:04] GummyBear: I've tested both suggestions that I've sent to you and both work. What results are you getting? [07:04] and my sys is 11.04 [07:04] Is there any way in which I can tell udev to forget an old piece of hardware? I've got a problem in a virtual machine where an old NIC's information (MAC => name mapping) is making a new NIC get named as eth1 instead of eth0, although all the networking setup references eth0. [07:04] Current system is 10.04.3 [07:04] hello. I'm hoping someone can point me to the right words to google. Just installed 11.04. 10.10 was fine but the upgrade broke :D Now, whenever I open a menu for the first time all my windows disappear for about a second and then reappear. But, it only happens on a menu that hasn't been opened before.. :S [07:05] whoppergator: ok, I'm using your solution... it did it... I was making a pipe after my AWK script but nothing else was happen, now using the grep expression alone with the AWK result is working [07:05] Wow [07:05] whoppergator: thanks a lot friend :D [07:05] Guest95783: get an SSD. By far the best investment you can make for speed :) [07:05] GummyBear: you shouldn't need awk at all, but if you have something that works, then i am content :) [07:05] hello, just upgraded my ubuntu, to ubuntu 11.04. It looks totally different. The startup menu is not there anymore, which is difficult for me to find applications as i have categorised them in the startup menu. Any solutions to bring back the old interface? [07:06] Mortah: what is SSD [07:06] valthyx: on the login screen after selecting your username there are some options at the bottom [07:06] probably says "unity" atm [07:06] change it to ubuntu classic :) [07:06] whoppergator: oh, ok, I found why it was not working, I had a bad sintax... now is right: DEVICE=`echo $STRING | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/" } ; /[0-9]*/ { print $4 }' | grep -o '[0-9]*'` [07:06] solid state drive, type of hard drive [07:07] Abc1: Probably System > Administration > Login Screen > Unlock > Screensaver > De-assert "Lock screen when screen saver is active". [07:07] valthyx, at the login window choose your user name look at the bottom panel and choose the classic desktop [07:07] Mortah, thank you, maybe i again know where is the menu.lst for boot sequence? [07:07] no idea [07:08] Mortah: what should i do exactly , give me a step by step method [07:08] : Thanks dude...Hpoe it works.. :) [07:08] Guest95783: sorry I haven't got the time to do that. Try google [07:08] :-) [07:08] urlin2u, thank you. Do you know where the grub menu.lst is located? i tried to find in boot folber, but couldnt find [07:08] GummyBear: i don't fully understand what the awk is doing in the middle, but if it works you should go with it :) [07:08] valthyx: hi , what your problem [07:09] Mortah: thanks anyway [07:09] i would like to chenge the boot menu order [07:09] *change [07:09] ttmrichter|work: you can control udev, and its exclusion rules through the /etc/udev/rules.d/ local configuration folder [07:09] valthyx: do you know grub [07:09] whoppergator: the awk script is need as I need only the part at $4, basically the fifth column... avoiding the AWK script makes the entire line is parsed by grep and returning all the other numeric values (of course, I only need those at the fifth column) [07:10] Guest95783, yes, [07:10] Guest95783, is it grub.cfg? [07:10] whoppergator: c/is need/is needed [07:10] valthy: there is a way to edit the grup config file [07:10] valthyx, you can do that [07:11] GummyBear: oO! yeah that's good then. you might also check out 'cut' which is handy for delimeter splitting [07:11] valthyx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [07:11] valthyx, do you using the ubuntu 10.04 [07:12] where can i find the configuration editor on ubuntu ? [07:12] valthyx: /etc/default/grub [07:12] GUI Configuration Editor [07:12] valthyx, right , checkout the overclucker send to you [07:12] Guest95783, ubuntu 11.04 [07:12] ruby_on_tails: configuration editor for what? for gnome, there is gconf-editor [07:13] whoppergator: Is there any way to get udev to not just tack on to the end of 70-persistent-net-rules? [07:13] whoppergator, thank you [07:13] The problem is that instead of wiping out the file and rebuilding based on existing hardware it just tacks on an extra record. [07:13] valthyx, yeah , ok , could you tell me what you want to do again , i was forgetable [07:13] Every time the MAC changes. [07:13] question - anyway to strip the GUI out of ubuntu desktop? [07:14] sort of like - convert it to ubuntu server [07:14] Guest95783, i have runnign on a dual boot machine. windows and linux, so i would like to change their positions [07:14] perhaps remove the package ubuntu-desktop ? [07:15] valthyx, you want to change the order in grub , and you want to login win first, right? [07:15] xeux: of course you may remove all gui packages from a desktop install. then you could switch the sources to the server sources and you would be running ubuntu server after an update. it might be easier though just to start from scratch with a server install [07:15] But it's better to install Ubuntu Server than just strip the GUI... [07:15] valthyx: read the section on configuring grub 2 in the link i gave you. [07:15] The kernel is different [07:15] okay [07:15] bullgard4_ : 550 ? [07:15] Guest95783, yes [07:15] thanks whopper [07:16] valthyx, there is a easy way , download a software in ubuntu , it is small! [07:16] ttmrichter|work: i'm not sure i understand what you are trying to do. are you trying to exclude a specific piece of hardware? [07:16] Hey !! can anyone tell me that what's the diffrence between virtual box free edition and paid edition ? [07:16] whoppergator: I'm trying to exclude a device that no longer exists. [07:17] valthyx, it is "startup manager" [07:17] I've changed the MAC in my virtual machine. [07:17] The free edition does not have USB 2.0 support. [07:17] valthyx, in the ubuntu software [07:17] udev is seeing this as new hardware (correctly) but not noticing that the old hardware is no longer there. [07:17] So my "old" hardware (the old MAC) is still set up as eth0, despite there being no backing hardware. [07:17] Guest95783, ok, thank you [07:18] whoppergator: ok... I'll do... thanks a lot again :) [07:18] And my "new" hardware is being named to eth1, which is causing problems. [07:18] valthyx, my pleasure [07:18] : Does it also have more powerful motherboard settings ? [07:19] ok... looks like gnome is broken for me [07:19] KDE runs with no flicker :D [07:19] by the way, is there any way to delete the linux version that i am not using? [07:19] * Guest95783 is a pink bunny [07:20] yes [07:20] for example, in the grup menu, i have a newer version and an older version, i would like to delete the newer version from my computer, how do i do that? [07:20] ttmrichter|work: i'm not sure why eth1 is causing problems, but something is definitely not right if it shows eth0 and there is no device [07:20] valthyx, wait a sec , let me check my 11.04 [07:21] Guest95783, okay [07:21] valthyx: yes, you can purge the older kernel, then run update-grub [07:22] whoppergator, how do i purge it? [07:22] i am sorry, i am still new to linux === tfilipczuk is now known as makak [07:23] sunit: 550 is probably too restrictive. But I do not know the best value. I myself would probably start with 550. If it does not work, I would gradually allow more access rights. [07:23] whoppergator: eth1 is a problem because there's nothing in /etc/network/interfaces for eth1 (or eth2 if this gets further cloned and so on). [07:23] valthyx: np at all. if you are new, you should consider keeping the old kernel for backup/emergency cases [07:23] valthyx, to remove the new kernel from grub list , you should do [07:24] So when the new guest OS is launched, it has no network active. I have to go in and hand-edit files to make it work, which kind of resists automation. [07:24] whoppergator, actually i want to remove the newer kernel, some of my devices do not work [07:25] <[deXter]> Hi all, xsane takes a long time to search for my network scanner. Is there a way I can force it to look at a specific IP? (the scanner has a static IP) [07:25] valthyx, you should just edit the grub.cfg [07:25] valthyx: take a look at uname -a for your current kernel version, then do an apt-cache search linux-image to see your options. then you can apt-cache purge the newest and run update-grub [07:26] valthyx: sorry, that's 'apt-get purge' at the end there [07:27] whoppergator, thanks alot. [07:27] nexian [07:27] hi , i want my my computer boot faster , is there any way to make it ? [07:28] D'oh! Sorry, braino there. [07:29] I am having problems starting the desktop environment in ubuntu 11.04. I think its because of ati driver. [07:29] Does someone know how to fix that? [07:30] Guest95783: Use a newer Ubuntu distribution. [07:30] bullgard4, mine 11.04 [07:31] bullgard4, i means: to forbidden sth to let the os boots faster [07:31] Greetings all. I am trying to edit the /etc/hosts file of my 11.04 installation to use a few hosts via a VPN I intend to use. Trouble is, whenever I restart the system, the /etc/hosts file returns to its original state. Does anyone have an idea why it might be happening? I tried using auditd to watch the file, and I get a possible write by a check-new-release - most likely a python script. [07:31] Guest95783: what are you finding to be slow? how many seconds does it take currently? [07:31] :D [07:31] Guest95783: My Ubuntu 11.10 boots even faster than Ubuntu 11.04. But I can not recommend it to you using it before October or November, 2011. [07:31] whoppergator, about 39 secs [07:32] <[deXter]> Guest95783: Take a look at startup applications and you'll find several things you can uncheck, like the bluetooth stuff. Also, depends on your partition layout.. if you can put your / right a the top of the drive (after /boot, ofc) it'll be better [07:32] bullgard4, Wow , you are using 11.10 [07:32] Guest95783: Yes. [07:32] fantastica [07:33] I am having problems starting the desktop environment in ubuntu 11.04. [07:33] Does someone know how to fix that? [07:33] Guest95783: If you do not use the X Server, your computer will boot much faster. [07:33] !patience | lizbeth [07:33] lizbeth: 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/ [07:33] deXter, yeah you right , i [07:33] have done that [07:34] lizbeth: Please analyze your dmesg log. [07:35] bullgard4, ok , i have forbidden that . [07:35] bullgard4, how? [07:35] ttmrichter|work: sorry i'm not more help with your issue, it doesn't sound like a configuration issue to me, but something old thing still hanging around from before. maybe you could purge and reinstall, but i don't know if that's safe for udev on a running system [07:36] lizbeth: By reading this text and understanding the messages about desktop environment. [07:36] whoppergator: purge and reinstall what? [07:36] lizbeth: dmesg | less [07:37] ttmrichter|work: udev? i'm just shooting in the dark here. if there was some way to completely rebuild the intial networking settings, i would say go for it [07:38] Are ther any animated .png (?) icons I can use on the Gnome Panel for my Luckybackup [07:38] bullgard4, whoppergator I am reading it but can't see anything interesting. [07:38] Hello. During some group management, i accidentaly did a usermod -g instead of a usermod -G (replace instead of add). Now im unable to 'use' sudo. Can anyone assist me please? Id be very grateful [07:38] whoppergator: This is still not a solution for automating the process of creating test servers. I can't purge and reinstall udev without putting in a manual step to do so. [07:39] I need to be able to clone a VM with new MAC addresses and actually have Ubuntu *WORK*. Currently this isn't happening. :( [07:40] ttmrichter|work: Have you deleted 70-persistent-net.rules ? [07:40] jpds: Yes. [07:40] And edited it and ... [07:40] kapilkaisare: i'm not sure that it is still true, but i remember having a problem where NetworkManager would make alterations to /etc/hosts on boot. In my case, simply changing the file to immutable solved the issue. sudo chattr +i /etc/hosts. chattr -i to make it mutable again. [07:40] hey guys i have a question, exactly what filesystem type should be a partition(fat...ext4... etc) for Data file purposes ? my filesystem partition is ext4 [07:41] When I clone the VM, however, there's obviously a 70-*.rules. [07:41] And that's when the problem happens. [07:41] kapilkaisare: what edits are you making. network-manager controls some of those settings [07:41] Udev is just not smart enough to figure out that the eth0 hardware no longer exists and instead tacks on a new entry. [07:42] to be able to use sudo, which group do i have to be part in, admin? can anyone running ubuntu please do a groups to check? [07:42] hey guys i have a question, exactly what filesystem type should be a partition(fat...ext4... etc) for Data file purposes ? my filesystem partition is ext4 [07:42] almagest: admin is the default ubuntu sudo group [07:42] dttah: What kind of data and what use case scenario? [07:42] ttmrichter|work: is there anything you can do with udevadm? [07:43] overclucker, That looks like it might just work! Danke! [07:43] I am having problems starting the desktop environment in ubuntu 11.04. XFCE loads when I start recovery session as root but doesn't load when I try to start it as a regular user. [07:43] hey all. Anyone have a good link that explains how to share my internet connection (source is ethernet) by creating a wireless network within ubuntu 11.04? [07:43] whoppergator, I was adding a few IP->Hostname maps in there. I suspect the network-manager might be behind the overwriting. [07:44] kapilkaisare: yup that probably the case. network-manager wants to be the boss, so you could make the mappings in its configuration, or just turn it off [07:44] whoppergator, Is it possible to make such changes via the network-manager itself. [07:45] ? [07:45] ttmrichter|work: the partition is going to be used for pics,movies,videos,music..., what filesystem type should i decide for it? please. [07:45] bullgard4_ : I am getting - Permissions 0550 for '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key' are too open [07:45] dttah: Do you want it accessible to Windows or anything like that? [07:45] overclucker: thanks! and since i need to be in that group to add myself to that group, i should reboot, change runlevel and hopefully manage that there? [07:45] jasonmsp: are you connecting to an AP, or do you need to BE the AP? [07:45] ttmrichter|work: no, only linux [07:46] Well, if your main partition is already ext4, you might as well use it for your data partition as well. [07:46] whoppergator: I need to be the AP. [07:46] ttmrichter|work: so ext4 can work well for my data files? like music videos pics ? [07:46] whoppergator: i have an incoming internet connection and I want to transmit that to the other laptops. [07:47] dttah: Define "work well" here? [07:47] It's a file system. [07:47] It stores data. [07:47] It gives the data back on demand. [07:48] kapilkaisare: yeah, there is a scripts folder for network-manager [07:48] ttmrichter|work: I mean to say " is ext4 supposed to be used for data files, I mean can that type of filesystem run data files normally and accurately ? " [07:49] sunit: ls -l /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key it should be -rw------- , otherwise sudo chmod 600 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key [07:49] dttah: What, precisely, would a non-data file look like? I'm confused. [07:49] sunit: What about 540 ? [07:50] whoppergator: bump.. I need to be the AP. [07:50] bullgard4_ : i am trying. [07:50] Or maybe my questions should be, are animated icons possible on Gnome panel? [07:50] how can i record my desktop ?? [07:51] i want to prepare tutorials [07:51] ttmrichter|work: lol like system files are't data files, data files are considered such as music...vidoes text documents, music, pics... such things are data files, and i was wondering if i recreate my partition as ext4 would it be ok for my data files ? I hope now you understood me :) [07:51] any software like bb Flash back [07:51] kapilkaisare: a google search on working through network-manager turns up some useful stuff [07:51] Hey how do I find a connected serial device like a usb example /dev/tty === jcrigby_ is now known as jcrigby [07:52] codingenesis: ffmpeg-x11grabcode. Awesome! [07:52] i have to use it thorugh command line ?? [07:52] bullgard4_: thanks. it's working [07:53] goer how to use that will i be able to find it in ubuntu software centre ?? [07:53] No [07:53] thanks for your suggestion. bye [07:53] I have a program called phone manager and It connects to my phone via usb and then it allows my text messages to come up on my computer and It wants me to specify a serial port and it give a example of /dev/tty1 and I was woudnering is there a way of viewing all connect usb devices like lsusb but shows the connection path [07:53] google it for latest version. Put icon on desktop. Click icon. :) [07:53] dttah: 99.44% of system files are files. Only the /dev, /proc and /sys trees aren't really files. But the kernel? Is a data file. /bin/ls? Is a data file. So any file system will allow you to store and recover data. The various file systems each have their limitations and their quirks (which is why I wouldn't recommend, say, FAT unless you need to share with Windows). But yes, ext4 will easily store and retrieve files, [07:53] Goota go now. Bye all :) [07:54] jasonmsp: you're going to be looking into hostapd then. you might start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessAccessPoint but i'm sure there are better and more up to date tutorials out there [07:54] hello everyone! I can't compile codes in Ubuntu. I used to do it before. I don't know what the problem is [07:54] can anyone help me? [07:54] ttmrichter|work: Thanks Sr. this answer is what i was looking for, thanks man :) [07:55] ! I can't compile codes in Ubuntu. I used to do it before. I don't know what the problem is [07:55] misaq: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:56] as a single user on the system, how can i add myself to the admin group? can this be done by booting a live cd and do chroot ? i am not able to use sudo currently. [07:56] does anyone know how to compile c++ codes in Ubuntu? [07:56] i do [07:56] misaq: g++ ? [07:57] almagest, did you forget the password? [07:57] use g++ compiler [07:57] almagest: it's easiest to reboot into the recovery console [07:57] overclucker, I used make before and it was ok. but now I can't compile. error says permission denied [07:58] urlin2u: i know the password, but did a usermod -g instead of usermod -G. Then i cannot use sudo since im not in admin group [07:58] mint_, I used g++ too. i receive errors [07:58] misaq: pastebin full log [07:58] almagest: you probably did -G without the -a, -g will change your primary group, but shouldn't remove you from the secondaries. [07:58] almagest: in the future, consider using adduser instead of usermod. [07:58] Sp4rKy, can you delineate more? [07:59] misaq: put your log on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [07:59] almagest, you need a password to edit the group file. [07:59] (the result of your make, with the "permission denied" errors) [07:59] Flannel: thanks for the tips. i actually did both of them, first -g then -G. Bad idea. The recovery console will make me root then? [07:59] almagest: yep. [08:00] Sp4rKy: and then? [08:00] urlin2u: yes, i know the password luckily, but the group file needs admin rights. catch-22 [08:00] misaq: and then give us the link of your paste [08:00] Sp4rKy: ok [08:01] almagest, but needs admin rights to edit. [08:03] so... how's everyone? [08:03] Sp4rKy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/672262/ [08:03] Sp4rKy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/672262/ [08:03] ohh that's not the compile itself [08:03] misaq: chmod +x test [08:04] misaq: but what should that file contain? [08:04] misaq: c++ code? [08:05] iceroot_: a binary I guess [08:05] back like herpes :) [08:05] "The gift that keeps on giving!" [08:05] iceroot_: here's the code http://paste.ubuntu.com/672263/ [08:05] misaq: the file is holding that code? [08:05] iceroot_: yes [08:05] misaq: you cant execute a file with c++ code. you have to compile it first [08:05] misaq: ##c++ [08:06] iceroot_: ##c++? === trevor is now known as static_void_ [08:06] I'm going on vaca [08:06] misaq: this is ubuntu-support, not c++ support [08:06] misaq: /join ##c++ [08:06] misaq: ##c++ is the c++ channel [08:06] iceroot_: yes [08:06] misaq: also think about using a gui instead of hacking on the shell [08:07] iceroot_: thanks for the tip. you know, I used to compile and run with make easily before. but now i receive these errors [08:07] make space between #include and [08:08] Flannel: just to be certain, i reboot into recovery, then issue a; adduser -G admin [08:08] misaq: if "test" contains your code, then you have to compile it. If it's the result of your compile, then you might need to add +x permissions [08:08] Flannel: to fix the group issue? [08:08] misaq: and make is not a compiler [08:09] Sp4rKy: I know. but I used to type "make test" on the cmdline. and it worked fine [08:09] depends of your makefile [08:09] misaq: use a gui [08:10] misaq: sorry, I take in route. What's the actual error for target 'test' of your makefile ? [08:10] Sp4rKy, is it probable that the ubuntu include files have been displaced? [08:10] Gah! I clicked wrong and didn't notice. [08:10] guys guys i need hel p [08:11] misaq: we told you waht your syntax error is [08:11] oisgam: just ask [08:11] So, I've figured out a fugly hack to my problem. What's the best way of making sure something is done at system shutdown? [08:11] misaq: #include [08:11] misaq: please join ##c++ for c++ related questions [08:12] almagest: can use usermod -a -G admin to add to group admin while maintaining status in other groups. [08:12] jjp_: this is make error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/672269/ [08:12] misaq: we told you waht your syntax error is [08:12] Thelmaria: thanks! ill give it a go! [08:12] iceroot_: but what was it? [08:13] misaq: #include is wrong [08:13] misaq: #include [08:13] lol [08:13] misaq: and if i am correct its called iostream.h but please go to ##c++ [08:13] the thing is that the update manager in my ubuntu 11.04 want to install the gjome display manager and so i let it do itand it messed up my ubuntu so i had to return to unity and it was a big mess and now it tells me to do it again and thereś a lot of update packages that want to install too and idk wich ones chose and wich ones don chose [08:14] iceroot_: thanks for tips. I switch to #c++ [08:14] maybe you installed some gnome thing that now wants to pull in the rest of the gnome stuff? [08:15] do u know what could be ? [08:15] i have no idea [08:15] misaq: using namespace std; is the next issue [08:15] T_T [08:16] i always do a apt-get install -sy blah >> XXX_blah.install before installing something, this way I have a history of all apt changes [08:16] iceroot: Still, regarding misaq's issue, the error log display no compilation error, but a linker error. I would have expected a compilation error when an incorrect include directive occurs. Anyway, this definitely is a question for #c++ [08:16] hi [08:16] hi [08:16] is there anyone to help me [08:16] hello! [08:16] yes [08:17] what is your prob [08:17] and i have other issue since i've configured the compiz cube and all that stuff the loading screen of ubuntu looks weird do u know how can i solve this ? [08:17] i need to share folder in ubuntu 10.04 lts [08:17] share with who [08:18] windows user [08:18] I need to set permission [08:18] ravigdrk, you want your windowns [08:18] they can past content and copy but not remove or delete [08:19] I don't know what you called that [08:19] wait , i still can't understan what you say exactly [08:19] i configure samba I can share the folder but i am struck at permission setting [08:19] hey guys, i have a this question, im the way to install this OS, and during the installation it asked for "mount point" for filesystem i have chosen "/" now im going to create my second partition which is supposed to be used for musics,videos,pics etc... what "mount point" should i use for that partition ?? [08:19] are there two os in your computer [08:20] oh , got it [08:20] NO I want to share my ubuntu folder to my network [08:20] mint: /home [08:20] the clasic partitions are / (root) /home (your files and a swap [08:20] jjp_: I can't send to #c++ [08:20] swap is comonly the twice of your ram [08:20] !register | misaq [08:20] misaq: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [08:20] yes , samba can achieve that [08:21] advance thanks' for your help [08:21] I can able to share using samba [08:21] th0r: so... well, filesystem mount point = "/" Data files partition(music,videos,pics) = "/home"? sorry for making sure twice, i dont wanna be mistaken [08:21] http://i.imgur.com/X3m3z.png <--- What can I do to fix the fonts that should label the axis, please? [08:21] but I don't know how set permission to that folder [08:21] What is x11? Does ubuntu 11.04 GNOME use it ? [08:22] mint: swap -> twice your ram root -> 50 gb home -> whatever you want it's for all you files [08:22] do you know the command -- chmod [08:22] !x | xt3mp0r [08:22] xt3mp0r: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [08:22] i want set like this they can past content and copy but not remove or delete [08:22] mint: correct. And if you have less than about 2G ram, or want to suspend, you need swap (1.5 - 2 times ram) [08:22] iceroot_: Thanks ^^ [08:22] ok , how about using ftp [08:23] we are using ftp , and it works perfect [08:24] mint : root (/) and home (/home) need to have ext4 format or ext3 depending on the version u want to install [08:24] th0r: I run 16GB overclocked DDR3 ram, so now how many GBs should i provide for swap-space? and my next question please if i can, previous times i always used to check "nothing" in mount point for NON-filessystem partitions, that was wrong ? [08:24] mint : and let swap without format then choose linux swap [08:24] misaq: try to link with g++ instead of cc : g++ test.o -o test [08:25] oisgam: thanks Sr :) [08:25] who can use command chroot [08:25] ravigdrk: not sure if it applies to samba as well, but you might want to look up the "sticky bit" [08:25] mint np ;) [08:25] help me [08:25] i am comfused [08:25] :) [08:25] about chroot [08:25] misaq: BTW, 'test' is a very bad name for a program, because a 'test' command is likely to be higher in your path, either as a shell builtin or as a command [08:25] what is your question exactly? [08:25] jjp_: dear jjp_ i tried it. not ok. can it be because of my include files displacement? [08:25] Guys in console how can i copy my last output? [08:26] mint: with 16GB ram I wouldn't mess with swap, and you don't need to mount non-filesystem partitions...you can always change that later if you need it [08:26] or reuse it [08:26] Greetings all. I'm having a problem with Ubuntu1. The sync deamon is taking up over 1g of memory and ~90% CPU usage. Why is that? === kent2 is now known as khjh [08:26] who kent2 [08:27] misaq: sorry, I obvioulsy lack background on your issue. You moved your include files ? [08:27] hi , how can i make my sys boots faster? [08:28] jjp_: not really. but I remember once I tried to recompile my kernel. however, it was not complete because of the complexity [08:28] ok... there's a lot of diferent threads and idk if somebody told me something about my loading screen issue xD [08:29] th0r: but the thing is, when i dont mount NON filesystem partition and trying to go ahead by pressing Install a dialog pops up and asks " no mount point is assigned for the ext4 file system in partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)." and in this case partition 5 is the partition which im going to use for videos pics music... it forces me to choose mount point [08:29] I cannot send to #c++. even !register is not possible [08:29] ? [08:29] anyone who can lfs [08:29] tell me [08:30] /who misaq [08:31] mint: if you mounted /home to sda5 you shouldn't be getting that. did you designate sda5 as ext3/4 for /home? [08:32] th0r: of sorry i have forgotten to check it as /home, i did, and it passed away thanks:) now just tell me how many GB i need to provide for this swap-space? is 5gb enough ? [08:33] mint: with 16GB ram, I wouldn't bother with swap [08:33] can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery console, to force VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. [08:33] mint: just checking, you are installing either 64 bit or pae kernel, correct? [08:34] th0r: mhhh have no idea wha "pae kernal" is, but for sure im installing 64bit one [08:34] mint: the pae kernel allows 32bit systems to use more than 3GB ram [08:35] th0r: question question please, if i check in the box "Format?" it will format the partition before it will install OS in it ? [08:36] wouldent make sence to format it after the install ;) [08:36] nubt: correct. If you were installing an upgrade, you would NOT format /home, that way all your personal data and config files would remain intact. But for a new install, format both / and /homt [08:36] I have latest Ubuntu running in VirtualBox, and the screen has turned black, but it is still working away in the background (it is encoding a DVD and CPU is still going processing that etc.). I've tried switching VirtualBox from fullscreen back to windowed etc., but I can't fix the black screen issue. what might be wrong here? (have asked on VirtualBox channel with no help) [08:37] want to find a way to fix this without reboot [08:37] dr-willis: lol no im about due the installation when you divide HDD for partition there is a checkbox BEFORE installation it says "Format?" I guess it stands for, format the partition then install OS :) [08:37] I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint [08:38] can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery mode, to usa VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. [08:38] Shambler[Bishop: it probably locked the screen, i've had that happen [08:38] I turned the screensaver off though [08:39] ok [08:39] Shambler[Bishop: sounds like the screensaver or powerssver /screenlock. you could ssh in and restert gdm but that wull reset x. but nit reboot [08:39] when I switch virtualbox to 'seamless' mode, it draws the windows, just in a very bugged state, like they are not rendering properly (or at all) [08:39] i was able to focus the window and enter my password here [08:40] if I restart gdm would that interrupt running programs? [08:40] I'm getting some serious kernel problems [08:40] how do I reinstall the kernel [08:40] yes [08:40] Shambler[Bishop: restarts X so x aps get killed.. [08:41] ya okey, is there some way of fixing this whilst avoiding that? [08:41] lynx____: if you are a newbie like me, i recommend you to reinstall the OS not the kernel alone. kernel is hard to reconfigure [08:41] How do I reinstall the kernel, aptitude --reinstall instlal kernel package name [08:42] well it's getting annoying I already wasted a CD [08:42] my computer keeps crashing [08:42] lynx____: perhaps state the real probmems [08:42] with details [08:42] I keep seeing IRQ-type errors, and even worse... the computer keeps crashing if it seems to be using too much memory, or if I use a program for a long time [08:42] lynx____: once i tried to recompile kernel. it was not a success. [08:42] can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery mode, to usa VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. [08:42] It's as if my IRQ is [08:43] ok, I don't think you get it, I DON'T WANT TO RECOMPILE THE KERNEL! I WANT TO REINSTALL THE DEFALT KERNEL WHICH IS WHAT I AM USING [08:43] lynx____: did it use to work fine before? [08:43] yes [08:43] perfectly [08:43] befor what. [08:43] lynx____: is your machine Intel? [08:43] before nothing, the kernel started giving horrible IRQ errors [08:43] it doesn't matter what machine type it is [08:44] like I said, it's the vmlinuz file itself [08:44] lynx____: calm down [08:44] i doubt if reinstalling the kernel will fix anything. [08:44] is there anyway i can ensure my network manager starts immediately @ startup, because I have an app in my startup application that needs network to start and it wouldnt start because network manager starts only when ubuntu has completed startup [08:44] unless the fsgot cyrrupted. [08:44] I think that's what happened [08:45] I kept getting errors when running "Parellizing fsck" [08:45] bjhaid: You might use the ifconfig command to connect to the network without using network manager. [08:45] bu tit was only a few files [08:45] I power off my computer, not shut down [08:45] that could also be why [08:45] bjhaid: nm is more for a user-friendly connect. Check out man ifconfig [08:45] kwtm: i place the ifconfig in my script [08:45] ? [08:45] then it maybe best to reinstall. you can try the kernel iguess. === dayanand is now known as djd [08:45] bjhaid: You do? And it's not working? [08:45] okay [08:46] kwtm: i got a bash script that starts up my app, just asking if i should place it in my script? [08:46] apt-get has a --reinstall option [08:46] so I type aptitude --reinstall install nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5-686? [08:46] or apt-get [08:46] thats not a valid kernal package name is it? [08:46] If im sitting next to the wifi router why does it take half of eternity to connect? [08:47] bjhaid: That is what I am suggesting, that you use ifconfig in your script. There may be other ways as well, but I've used ifconfig to force a connect and it seemed to work. This was some time ago, though. Just tossing out an idea. [08:47] thanks, apt-get worked, aptitude didn't [08:48] kwtm: thanks [08:48] bjhaid: Ethernet (wired) connection? [08:49] is there easy way to switch from 32 bit natty to 64 bit natty? [08:50] kwtm: yes [08:50] kwtm: still did not work [08:51] bjhaid: ifconfig fails to give you a connection? Or it reports a connection but programs aren't able to use it? [08:51] can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery mode, to usa VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. [08:51] *use [08:52] bjhaid: After you use ifconfig to connect, you might want to ping www.google.com to see if there's a connection. (For debugging, not for permanent.) [08:53] kwtm: if i include ping www.google.com in the script, how do i get the response? [08:55] bjhaid: Redirect. Something like ping -c 4 www.google.com > "$HOME/debug.log" or something. [08:55] bjhaid: You are familiar with shell programming? Bash programming? [08:55] kwtm: a little [08:56] kwtm: would do that now [08:56] Ok. So, "still did not work" means ... what? Computer did not respond? Exploded? Your application failed to connect? etc. [08:57] ls -alh [08:57] ls [08:57] ls [08:57] bjhaid: ^^ (Oh, and you can ask for help in #bash, too, although they are not as noobfriendly) [08:57] anyone know why I am getting "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." after - iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc ??? === root is now known as Guest46016 [08:57] kwtm: ping:unknown host to www.google.com [08:58] bjhaid: What are you getting for ifconfig? Is the ethernet connection up? Do you have a IP address? (I'm guessing you're DHCP) [08:58] kwtm: i run a static address on that machine [08:58] jasonmsp: Is it because your wlan0 device doesn't do adhoc? Or that your wlan0 device isn't working/isn't what you think it is? [08:59] Hmm.. [08:59] hi [08:59] :) [08:59] hi [08:59] enjoying Ubuntu :) [08:59] :) [09:00] kwtm: or any idea how i can specify the static address for the machine to use? [09:00] bjhaid: Okay, do you have another static address to test? Another machine? Your router? The fact that you have an unknown host means that DNS is not working to translate google.com to 216.239.37.99 [09:00] kwtm: how about if i ping the machine i need to connect to and see what the response would be? [09:00] bjhaid: ?? What do you mean? The fact that you have a static address set up means that you have the static address already, no? [09:01] bjhaid: If you ping the machine to connect to, and fail, you don't know if it's a connection problem. Google probably hasn't failed, so pinging it to see if it works will narrow down the problem. [09:01] kwtm: its on a local network and cannot fail, but i would ping google like you said [09:02] bjhaid: I'm assuming this is all on bootup and that nm takes effect by the time you get control of your machine. [09:02] kwtm: you are right [09:02] bjhaid: Well, if all is on local network then you can ping more than one machine to make sure it's not the pinged machine that's failing. Maybe ping the router if it responds. [09:03] kwtm: thanks, would do a remote connection to the machine get that done, gimmie some mins [09:03] bjhaid: What is the output of ifconfig? Does it show the connection up yet? Maybe it's still booting, and you just need to wait till the connection is there before running your app. [09:03] kwtm: ifconfig shows nothing [09:04] bjhaid: Sorry, bit of a noob here, not sure what you mean by a "remote connection". You don't mean VNC or something, do you? That's way after bootup. [09:04] bjhaid: What do you mean "ifconfig shows nothing"? Surely it must show something, like 127.0.0.1? Does it see the ethernet interface? [09:04] kwtm: i am chatting on another machine, so i use vnc to connect to the machine [09:04] bjhaid: Do you need to set your DNS? [09:05] bjhaid: no since i dont need to connect to the internet right away [09:05] Hi! Does anyone else have problems with Skype and natty? My first call gets 'scrambled' and while booting up the login sound of skype is also disturbed. [09:05] hello. i've installed the latest updates for 11.04 and now my wireless can't see any existing wireless networks anymore. how can i debug this? [09:05] bjhaid: Oh, I see what you mean: you are currently using a VNC connection to set up the machine in question. That's fine, it doesn't matter what you use. I thought you mean doing VNC at bootup. [09:05] on kubuntu-page i see in download section 32bit is recommended... why is 64 bit not stable? [09:06] nope, else i would have to log-off and login to communicate with you [09:06] i don't have access to the computer right now, so i can't try out your suggestions [09:06] kwtm: the device itself supports ad-hoc. and lsusb lists 'Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B ' [09:06] jasonmsp: any thoughts where to go from here? [09:06] jasonmsp: Oh. Then I don't know. [09:07] so, is there a way to recover from a black screen in ubuntu, where the programs are still working ok etc. just screen is black, without losing programs active state? [09:08] on (k)ubuntu-page i see in download section 32bit is recommended... why is 64 bit not stable? [09:08] Add a new monitor? I'd not be sure we would be able to move X instance to that, though [09:08] don't think I can; is running in virtualbox [09:08] kwtm: yet to set it right, but ifconfig showed 127.0.0.1 as the ip address [09:10] rethus: it probably is, and if you want to use more than 4 GB of RAM, you need a 64-bit system [09:10] bjhaid: Okay, you have multiple interfaces to connect over the net. "lo" is the one you always have. So, ifconfig does not "show nothing". What does it show? Does it show a "eth0" interface? Is it up? Down? etc. Your lack of detail is not really helping. [09:10] does ubuntu try to automatically recover from graphics driver failures? [09:11] bahamas: but why on ubuntu and kubuntu page in download-section 32 bit is recommended [09:11] legacy computers prolly [09:11] ancient shitboxes [09:11] anyone have any suggestions about how to debug this wireless issue or where to look? the wireless card is active. it just can't find any networks [09:11] rethus: not all applications are compiled for 64 bits [09:12] bahamas: is there a list which show which are missing [09:13] i think about to create a new partition.... install 64 bit and switch to 64 bit.... is this possible? Which would be the best way to do this [09:15] kwtm: i would paste the result of ifconfig [09:15] I'm getting following errors on every upgrade, installaion - debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline. What's the reson and how to fix i? [09:15] bjhaid: Sorry, this seems to be unproductive and you have still not responded to the question of "what is the output of ifconfig?" which I asked 10 minutes ago [09:15] bjhaid: Oh, there you are. [09:15] rethus: do you need a 64-bit system (using more than 4 GB of RAM)? you can use a virtual machine to install a 64-bit version and play with it [09:15] kwtm: sorry just looked away a little [09:16] going to paste it now [09:16] Well crap. I accidently set the permissions to /etc/sudoers so that I can no longer sudo (can't be read by my user). And I can't change the permissions back b/c that requires sudo ;). How can I login to root and fix the priveleges? [09:16] i have problems with ati driver, which should work on 64bit [09:16] bjhaid: Ok, I am going to stay around a little bit longer to see if I am helpful to you, and if I am not, then I will wish you the best of luck in seeking help elsewhere. [09:16] *privileges [09:16] bjhaid: I do need to do a few other things IRL. [09:16] bjhaid: like sleep, etc. [09:17] kwtm: lol https://gist.github.com/1161990 [09:18] hi [09:18] can somebody help [09:19] bjhaid: So, either you are running IPv6 or you don't have an IP address set up. How are you specifying the machine you are connecting to --by IP address or name with DNS lookup? Is it IPv6? [09:19] mantas: In general on irc, just ask. No need to ask to ask [09:19] no wi-fi on dell vostro 3450 [09:19] desperate already [09:19] votz: su [09:20] kwtm: by ip address, i specified a static address for the machine, just wondering if i could specify an address for the guy in my script? [09:20] bahamas: Right, but that prompts me for the root pword which I have no clue what it is [09:20] bjhaid: What is "the guy"? And where do you specify "a static address"? [09:21] kwtm: my local machine, i am currently specifying the static address in the network manager [09:22] bjhaid: Please be clear. The way I understand it is: you have decided what the address of your machine in question (let's call it MIQ) is. Is this IPv6 or just IPv4? Also, you want to connect to Some Other Machine called The Guy (SOMTG). Where on the network is it located? What address? [09:23] bjhaid: Okay, so do I understand correctly that you are telling Network Manager what the address of MIQ is, and now I am suggesting that you use ifconfig before network manager even comes up, and you are wondering why ifconfig does not know what address of MIQ is? [09:23] votz: talk to your system administrator then [09:23] kwtm: MIQ uses IPv4 to connect with SOMTG (10.10.5.x) [09:23] bahamas: I am my system admin, heh [09:23] kwtm: i see why ifconfig doesnt know what the address of the machine is [09:23] kwtm: anyway i can specify it in my code? [09:23] I just went through the basic ubuntu install. No password entry for root [09:24] these captchas are vuntu release codenames in terms or rhythm [09:24] these captchas are ubuntu release codenames in terms or rhythm [09:24] Hi, can anyone suggest an application which can record my desktop video in 1080p HD please [09:25] bjhaid: You mean can you specify what your MIQ's IP address is? Yes, of course. Isn't that the whole purpose of using ifconfig? [09:25] anyway, I've just formatted my machine and made a clean install of ubuntu only.. wooo hooo... hoooo .hooo [09:25] kwtm: thanks [09:25] nay ideas of the best apps out there I might need? [09:25] bjhaid: Okay, in case I wasn't clear, you want to do ifconfig eth0 10.10.5.219 or whatever the IP address is. Near the end you want to do ifconfig >> "$HOME/debug.log" to find out of it worked. [09:25] kwtm: i think i need to go readup ifconfig, though i dont mind if you could give me the syntax:) [09:26] kwtm: i would do that gimmie say 5mins, thanks [09:26] bjhaid: Ok, sorry, I am willing to provide help but I am not going to work harder than you. Please do "man ifconfig". [09:26] kwtm: thanks alot [09:26] bjhaid: Best of luck. I am going to go to sleep now. It looks like there are a few pieces missing from your script but some basic homework on your part should fill in the missing gaps. [09:26] before that, is it possible to record video from desktop at a resolution greater than my native resolution ? [09:27] kwtm: thanks a million [09:27] bjhaid: Ok. Good luck! [09:28] Hi all, I bring in my server BIND9 awarded a -) ip for example.com (figuratively), another provider has given two real IP and want to assign news.example.com forum.example.com how to register properly in the files db.example.com and /etc/network/interfaces ? Thanks an advance [09:29] hi all, anyone know a command for cleaning away updates to free disk space, probably have about 3 years worth on system [09:31] hey! my cd's are not showing up in my /media folder. how can i tell if there just not mounting or its a hardware problem [09:31] recon69_lap: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean [09:31] bjhaid: One more summary, just in case I was unclear (my fault). So, MIQ is trying to connect to SOMTG, but nm (network manager) is not yet ready. The point is to use ifconfig to replace nm, because ifconfig is much easier on scripts (and faster). So you run ifconfig to say "connect to network. Use eth0. This is our (MIQ's) IP address. This is the address of the DNS server." Then you optionally check the results of the ifconfig. [09:32] Then you go run the program that connects to SOMTG. [09:32] thx iceroot_, i'll give them a spin [09:33] And, in case you didn't realize already, ifconfig needs superuser to run. Root, or get root privileges. Afterward, you can still run nm; I think it will take over from ifconfig, but it might disconnect briefly while it rearranges connections the way nm itself likes it. [09:33] ok bye [09:33] what can't fcgi user write to my /tmp ? === [Sanyi] is now known as AlexC [09:33] everytime I reboot I have to manually create the file and chmod 777 it [09:34] I thought /tmp was writeable by everyone? === AlexC is now known as [Sanyi] [09:34] ethanol, /tmp itself is [09:34] but I cannot create a file in there? [09:34] you need to do the following: [09:35] drop to a command line [09:35] you need to delete all of /tmp, including the directory itself as root [09:35] (to become root do: sudo -i) [09:35] hi, using 10.04 here. why isn't my choice for visual effects saved upon reboots? how can I make it persistent? [09:35] to delete /tmp and all it's contents do: rm -r /tmp === [Sanyi] is now known as AlexanderC [09:36] I'd rather want to find out white I cannot write to it with the fcgi user [09:36] be *very* careful when using this command and ensure you have not typoed before running it [09:36] why* not white :< [09:36] ethanol, and then you need to recreate it in the following way [09:36] mkdir /tmp && chown root:root /tmp && chmod 1777 /tmp [09:37] MrNthDegree: Why does he need to delete all of /tmp first? [09:37] kwtm, because there are hidden files which can interfere with write processes [09:37] yeah it makes no sense to do that [09:37] I just want to write to /tmp/test.log [09:38] MrNthDegree: ?? Not sure what that means. What are the negative consequences of doing sudo chown --recursive root:root /tmp ? What write processes would be interfered with? [09:38] ethanol: Is your /tmp confirmed to be writeable by everyone? [09:38] kwtm, how about every pipe related to the GUI apps the user is running? [09:38] argh [09:38] nevermind [09:38] kwtm, and when the user reboots they may not be able to even login that way === AlexanderC is now known as [Sanyi] [09:39] stupid person that wrote the class only used is_writable on the filename, but if the file isnt there yet it is not writeable obviously... [09:39] ethanol: Ahh... that would explain it. :P [09:39] gonne add checking if dirname() is is_writeable() or file_exists() [09:39] -_- [09:40] MrNthDegree: Still not sure how pipe would be affected, especially if it's made all writeable first before chowning, but what do I know, I'm just a noob. Anyway, sounds like problem's been found. [09:41] hi all. I've been using FileZilla for years, and it was always very stable, but last year things are degrading and it hangs a lot. I'm really dependant on my FTP-client, so I need it to 'just work'. Are there any alternatives for FileZilla that come close to its functionality but run very stable? Much thanks for any answer. [09:41] kwtm, orbit- is a good example [09:41] kwtm, that directory contains pipes which GNOME apps use a lot [09:41] is exist a way to reach my music files in win7 from ubuntu? ( I ve built ubuntu on win7) [09:42] kwtm, the directory is only accessible by the one user (the owner) [09:42] hi, i've got some weird issues with XFS, i've got files named like "?????????? ? ? " at lotsa places, xfs_repair isn't able to fix those, anyone have any clue what is going on? This started after a powerfailure [09:42] kwtm, if that gets changed to root ownership, things are almost guaranteed to start breaking [09:43] fatih1993: just mount the drive ~ ubuntu support ntfs [09:43] MrNthDegree: Okay, I will take your word on that. I don't use GNOME -- it sounds like it breaks pretty easily. Anyway, carry on, then. [09:44] wildbat, whati s ntfs? [09:45] hermanus: curlftpfs ;p [09:45] fatih1993, NTFS is the filesystem Windows 7 uses [09:45] fatih1993: ntfs is the file system used by windows. [09:47] wildbat, thanks, that might work out with a gui [09:47] no XFS experts? [09:47] wildbat, ok [09:48] hermanus: hehe ~ nautils can access FTP anyways [09:48] nautilus [09:49] wildbat, yeah but i need decent bookmarking, not intervening with my filsystem bookmarks [09:49] wildbat, all clients are on different servrs [09:50] is there somewhere a channel for 'the open source community' if there is such collective? [09:53] don't think oss works like that jakeriver, SourceForge.net might be worth a look [09:54] Okay, I'm sure this is a common question. I've got an HP lappy, there are already 4 primary partitions on it for some reason. Trying to install ubuntu to dual boot with win7. Help please? [09:54] Hi guys.. Please I'm trying to install elegant gnome theme on my natty but it looks as though it's not in the repositories. It looks as though there is no PPA for the Natty Distribution, only for Lucid & Maverick. Please is there a workaround to get this to install and work on my natty? Because I followed this guide: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/09/elegant-gnome-theme-pack-for-ubuntu-is.html but I keep getting this error: W: Failed to f [09:54] recon69_lap: yeah, i've noticed :). thanks anyway.

[10:46] glebihan you mean a firewall as an router where I can open ports etc?..when I think of firewall I always think of something like windows firewall which I can stop but I haven't seen anything like that on ubuntu :O [10:46] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/672345/ [10:47] :) [10:47] m_fulder, well I mean both actually. there are also firewalls on ubuntu, could you check the output of 'service ufw status' [10:47] I want share a folder using samba and user can only copy & past the content but no delete or overwrite how do that!? [10:48] dddbmt_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/672346/ [10:48] ravigdrk: Set read-only permissions. [10:48] dddbmt_: gives 64bit flash for your 64bit OS [10:48] glebihan ufw start/running [10:48] m_fulder, ok so you do have a firewall running [10:48] anyone knows if such a programm exist (mobilecam over Bluetooth as webcam use) [10:49] glebihan oh hehe :O so I should stop ufw? [10:49] rethus: do you use Android on your phone? [10:49] windows mobile [10:49] rethus: oh :( [10:49] it has bluetooth and wireless lan [10:49] Hi, i have an error while updating my packages : "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xul-ext-ubufox_0.9.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfn4_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/components/ufoxHTTPListener.js', which is also in package ubufox 0". Can anyone help me fix it ? [10:49] m_fulder, either you stop it, or you allow connection on port 25, via "sudo ufw allow 25" [10:49] ActionParsnip, thanks you very much! Will I have to reboot? [10:50] ah yeah thats better glebihan..but do I really need a connection on port 25 on my machine if I only want to use relay-smtp? [10:50] dddbmt_: no, this is linux. Just close all web browsers and rerun. You are good to go [10:50] @ glebihan * [10:50] dddbmt_: the only real time you need to reboot is to change kernels [10:51] even it don't help me [10:51] they can't past the file [10:51] m_fulder, yes your machine will still be seen as a mail server from any client connecting to it, and you will need to allow smtp connections to it [10:51] ActionParsnip, I asked because it's still the same after restarting chromium. [10:52] pirlo: I suggest you log a bug. You can always force install the deb. The package system doesn't like packages containing the same file. Is the deb from a PPA per chance [10:52] aha oki then I get it glebihan but still after allowing port 25 and trying to telnet localhost 25 I get the same error message while running nullmailer [10:52] dddbmt_: does it happen in all browsers? [10:52] ActionParsnip, yes. [10:52] dddbmt_: do you use any flash based extensions to the browser? [10:53] ActionParsnip, the only extension I have for chromium is Speed dial. [10:53] I put in a usb key, but it gets mounted read-only. Why is that? I want it mounted with read and write options. [10:53] dddbmt_: could try a reboot, doesn't hurt [10:53] m_fulder, is the nullmailer service running ? [10:53] ActionParsnip, okay. brb [10:53] fasta: when you last pulled it out of a system, what steps did you take. What file system is the USB partition? [10:54] ActionParsnip, i don't think so, its from a package called "xul-ext-ubufox" [10:54] glebihan yeah I guess :P [10:54] m_fulder, to be sure, "service nullmailer status" [10:54] ActionParsnip: it is vfat, it is a long time ago that I last used it. [10:54] Hi all, [10:55] pirlo: if you run: apt-cache policy xul-ext-ubufox where does the latest version come from? [10:55] ActionParsnip, it's still the same. [10:55] ActionParsnip: write-protect is off. [10:55] glebihan didn't work they want me to use /etc/init.d/nullmailer instead of service and then there's no status attribute :O [10:55] ActionParsnip, Could I by a mistake have changed a setting somewhere? [10:55] I want to share a folder using samba and users can only copy & past the files and folders t but not to delete or overwrite how do that!? [10:55] fasta: ok, when you are done with the device and want to remove it, what steps do you take? [10:55] m_fulder, then try "sudo /etc/init.d/nullmailer restart" and then try to connect via telnet again [10:55] dddbmt_: doubt it, if you make a new user is it the same there? [10:56] ActionParsnip: I click somewhere in the GUI that I want to umount it. [10:56] glebihan still same error :P [10:56] ActionParsnip: can you just say why mount /dev/sdb1 -o rw /media/blah does not work? [10:56] m_fulder, ok, then back to the firewall... could you pastebin the output of "sudo ufw status" ? [10:56] glebihan: http://pastebin.com/e8uiM3Y4 [10:56] fasta: good :). You may need to use remount to make it writable. I suggest you scan the data to make sure the data is healthy [10:56] hi anyone helpme ! [10:56] ActionParsnip, this is what i get "xul-ext-ubufox: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.9.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfn4 Version table: 0.9.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfn4 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages" [10:57] my friend can't install Lubuntu have tried standard LiveCD (graphical) and Alternate install in either cases it just freezes on "Install Lubuntu" - nothing happens. Hardware specs are ---> CPU Intel Celeron 900MHz, RAM: 384MB SDRAM PC100 VGA: Intel 82810E Graphics Controller (32MB) [10:57] ActionParsnip: that is, it does work with a good exit status, but I am still unable to write to it as root. [10:57] pirlo: then you are getting it from a 3rd party. You can force install the deb file and it will ignore the overlap. I suggest you log a bug [10:57] trying mini.iso (minimal install) I havent done it, and he havent used Linux [10:57] glebihan don't you mean "sudo service ufw status" ? .. sudo ufw status returns Status:inactive but sudo service ufw status returns ufw start/running [10:58] instructing via skype [10:58] on his other computer what to do [10:58] fasta: get it checked, just so we know it's all good. I've seen that make vfat mount read-only. It's not a very robust filesystem [10:58] ActionParsnip, Ok Thanks for your help [10:58] ActionParsnip, It worked correct for the new user. [10:58] gigenieks: if you haven't used Linux I suggest you use the desktop install ISO [10:58] works* [10:58] dddbmt_: ok so we now know its your user settings, not the app [10:59] m_fulder, no I meant "sudo ufw status", but then it means that the firewall isn't enabled... so the problem does not come from there unless you have some other firewall running [10:59] glebihan I have a new installation of ubuntu and haven't installed some other firewall :) [10:59] help !! help!! [10:59] I have used, my friend havent! and as I said we tried already dektop install... [11:00] AcitonParship: ;) [11:00] dddbmt_: could try: mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium_old then rerun the browser to get new settings in yuor current user, see how that goes [11:00] ActionParsnip: get it checked? What do you mean? [11:00] glebihan while I was running postfix before I managed to telnet just fine but then the authentication failed :S [11:00] ravigdrk, i didnt see your initial post,, but if you repeast the issue ,, if anyone can help, I am sure they will jump in [11:00] fasta: use fsck or you can do it with chkdsk in Windows [11:00] glebihan so I guess it's not the firewall [11:00] thank you !! I want to share a folder using samba and users can only copy & past the files and folders t but not to delete or overwrite how do that!? [11:00] gigenieks: the mini ISO needs a web connection to install [11:00] ActionParsnip: I also do not care about the data on it, btw. [11:00] yes we know [11:01] ActionParsnip: so, if I can just format it, it would be fine too. [11:01] hi all [11:01] ActionParsnip: if that is faster.. [11:01] ActionParsnip, but wouldn't this only affect chromium? The problem was in firefox as well. [11:01] fasta: i guess, it's faster [11:01] dddbmt_: hmm, that is strange [11:01] ActionParsnip: is there some gui for that? [11:01] my spare hdd file system is ntfs [11:01] fasta: gparted [11:02] ravigdrk, ok if no one answers here right now you can also try the ##linux channel since that issue concerns linux in general so they could probably help as well [11:03] ravigdrk: I always use smb.conf personally. lots easier if you ask me :) [11:03] ActionParsnip, didn't do anything (mv chromium). How do I switch it back? [11:03] m_fulder, after looking at the documentation, it appears I didn't understand what nullmailer was... [11:03] thak YOu Action Parsnip [11:03] ##linux [11:03] I want to share a folder using samba and users can only copy & past the files and folders t but not to delete or overwrite how do that!? [11:03] dddbmt_: rm -r ~/.config/chromium; mv ~/.config/chromium_old ~/.config/chromium [11:03] m_fulder, it only handles outgoing messages, so you won't be able to connect to it via smtp [11:03] so I guess noone has a clue what to do...? [11:04] ravigdrk, if you want to join another channel,, where you type here type t his /join ##linux [11:04] m_fulder, have a look at the manpages for nullmailer, nullmailer-inject, nullmailer-queue and nullmailer-send [11:04] glebihan how do you mean only outgoing ? should I still be able to send a message using another SMTP with nullmailer? [11:04] ActionParsnip, thanks! But do you have any suggestions for the doubble speed? [11:05] m_fulder, yes, but it won't allow you to connect to your machine remotely to do it [11:05] m_fulder, nullmailer is only a set of tools used to send mail from your machine using a remote smtp sever [11:05] *server* [11:06] glebihan aha but still e.g. PHPs mailfunction should work? [11:06] aha great glebihan that's what I need [11:06] m_fulder, then you should be fine [11:06] Guys im having some problems with virtualisation as a whole, virtualbox and vmware are causing my cpu 100% usage when i run a virtualbox. Any thoughts ? [11:08] Okey thank you, I guess.. [11:08] will go to other channel [11:08] to crowded here, bye :) [11:08] ravigdrk: I can give you a pastebin of my smb.conf if you want [11:08] dddbmt_: not sure man, very strange indeed [11:08] ActionParsnip, thinks I'm just gonna make a new user. My ubuntu installation is only a few days old. Thanks you very much for your time! [11:08] yes you can do it [11:08] .=$ [11:09] ActionParsnip, it sure is! [11:09] dddbmt_: np man, very weird indeed [11:10] Is there a way to force focus to a window in GTK? I used all the methods I found... is it possible Unity is blocking it? [11:10] glebihan but still my simple PHP script won't let me send my mail :S .. maybe I should change something in my php.ini so the scripts will use nullmailer? I have it set to use sendmail atm :O [11:10] ActionParsnip, yeah - thanks anyway;) have a great day! [11:10] dddbmt_: and you man [11:11] Hi fedora people :) Just wondering if anyone could help me finding out why i cant make a fedora 15 64 bit persistent usb stick. when it boots it says i got wrong cpu. Im running a core i7 and excecuting a fedora 15 64 bit live cd [11:11] ActionParsnip: success! :) [11:12] dusf: sweet [11:12] i can survive with ubuntu and low graphics for a few weeks until i get the money together to build a new pc, i had thought i may have had to speak to win xp [11:12] perish the thought :) [11:12] *stick to win xp [11:12] m_fulder, I don't think you can use directly nullmailer in php, but it should work if you symlink sendmail to nullmailer-send, eg "sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/nullmailer-send /usr/sbin/sendmail" [11:14] hi all [11:15] glebihan tried that but still php fails to send my mail :( [11:15] hi monty156 [11:16] just put 11.04 on my laptop. so far i think it's great. taking a bit of getting used to though. just wondered what peoples thoughts were on it? any tips? [11:17] monty156: keep updated is a great tip [11:17] ubuntutweek is another good tip [11:18] i thought about tweak but unity seems pretty locked down so i didnt think there was much point [11:18] m_fulder, did you try sending mails using directly the command-line before trying in php ? === aron is now known as Guest74279 [11:19] brb === adante_ is now known as adante [11:20] what is the command for Remove broken package? === xtor_ is now known as extor [11:21] glebihan when I do sudo nullmailer-send I only get Rescanning queue. and it loads forever :P [11:22] Does anybody here manage to use virtualbox without compromising your cpu usage ? [11:22] If I want my mailserver to reside on mail.mydomain.com but I also want to be able to send mail to *@mydomina.com and *@client.mydomain.com and *@support.mydomain.com then how do I do the MX and CNAME and A entries for mydomain.com to reflect all that? [11:23] spo0kz, define "compromising" [11:23] you can all relax, im back now lol [11:23] spo0kz: depends on your spec, you can always tell virtualbox to use less CPU (I believe). I suggest you ask in #vbox too [11:23] rumpe1, anything over 50% while the virtual guest is idle [11:24] ActionParsnip, been to #vbox sent logs had it out for good hour or two, no joy [11:24] I need to apt-get update an old jaunty server but all the sources seem to be gone… where can I get a sources.list for jaunty? [11:24] spo0kz: which version of virtualbox? [11:25] ActionParsnip, 4.1.2 [11:25] !jaunty [11:25] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [11:25] vkushner: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997890 [11:25] vkushner, jaunty is dead [11:25] i have a strange issue with the screen not updating sometimes. I'm not exactly sure on what level it is. So if i change workspace and then try type in a terminal or a text editor or even do something in the browser, the image stays still and i can't see anything. if i just do alt tab (even if there aren't any other windows) the changes start appearing and it's fine from then onwards [11:26] it doesn't always happen though. i'd say every 15/20 mins? [11:26] wolfric: is your video chip onboard or is it on a dedicated video card? [11:26] rumpe1: well, duh! I know its officially dead. this doesn't change the fact that I got this client with a couple years old jaunty server and I just need to install some package. [11:27] m_fulder, I think you have to use nullmailer-queue then nullmailer-send, once again you should have a look at the manpages, also for it to work in php, you may have to edit your php.ini file and set the sendmail_path to "sendmail -t -i -f@" [11:27] ActionParsnip: onboard nvidia and i have the restricted drivers [11:27] vkushner: the jaunty servers are all off, you won't be able to get any packages online [11:27] so the question is still: is there any place still hosting old jaunty repo? [11:27] wolfric: have you tested your RAM? [11:27] vkushner: which package? might be easier just to install from source at this point. [11:27] vkushner: very very unlikely [11:27] ActionParsnip: no, you mean with a memtest right? [11:28] wolfric: yes, in Grub [11:28] ActionParsnip: i seriously doubt there's a problem there but sure i'll give it a shot next time [11:28] ActionParsnip: any other ideas in the mean time [11:28] hello i am new .please any can help me what is this about [11:28] sipior: no, thats a whole server configuration script that is running and failing. [11:28] vkushner, what's the point? jaunty isn't even LTS. [11:28] pretty cool link: http://www.sourceslist.eu/tag/jaunty/ [11:28] ActionParsnip, i get high cpu usage with vmware and virtualbox, what could that mean ? [11:28] KcGenesis: this channel is for support. That's what it is about [11:29] vkushner: configuration script? we were talking about software packages, as i recall... [11:29] spo0kz: what speed etc is your CPU? [11:29] sipior: well, there is this server configuration script that as part of its running does apt-get update and then tries to install some packages [11:29] ActionParsnip, its perfectly capable, its an i3 2.9ghz i run 3gb of ram [11:30] ActionParsnip, thanks [11:30] vkushner: i see. [11:30] no luck installing ubuntu on my mac [11:30] both the burnt images say [11:30] "no livefs media found" [11:31] ActionParsnip, one thing guys who are u guys actually [11:31] KcGenesis: that is moot here [11:32] spo0kz: I see, what destktop is the guest OS using? [11:32] ActionParsnip, Teh cpu hangs with backtrack and xp [11:33] spo0kz, default version (which? which ubuntu?) of vbox or something more fancy? [11:33] ActionParsnip, how does this chat actually works === Roberto35 is now known as Richard| [11:34] spo0kz: hmm, not sure then personally, maybe others can advise. Have you tried a light OS like xpud/puppy etc, see if it happens there [11:34] rumpe1, ubuntu is 11.04 vbox is 4.1.2 nothing fancy going on here lol [11:34] KcGenesis: you are doing it now. You ask a support question. If people can help they will reply [11:34] glebihan ok I have now read through the docs for nullmailer-queue and nullmailer-send .. I have also added the -f flag to my php.ini .. but I don't get one thing in the nullmailer-queue doc. there is written I should terminate all lines with single line-feed character? Which one is that? [11:34] ActionParsnip, yeah man its frustrating, something is conflicting somwhere [11:35] spo0kz, afair there are some options with warnings in virtualbox (3d-acceleration, etc.) which maybe cause problems. Try to deactivate as much stuff as possible and try again. [11:35] rumpe1, tried it all [11:36] spo0kz: try disabling stuff like ACPI and APIC in the vbox config [11:36] m_fulder, it is the "\n" character [11:36] spo0kz, well... do you think it's a hardware-specific problem? [11:36] glebihan you mean a simple line break? [11:36] rumpe1, no, most definitely not [11:37] m_fulder, yes [11:37] how to know which software is installed in ubuntu.?software that mostly run from terminal. [11:37] glebihan cause when I as in the documentation of nullmailer-queue write: senderAddress-ENTER-reciptienist-ENTER-ENTER-message-ENTER .. nothing happends :S [11:38] KcGenesis: how do you mean? [11:38] KcGenesis: you can run all comamnds from terminal, some will just spawn graphical applications [11:38] m_fulder, well I won't be able to help you much more with nullmailer as I've never used it, but why do you want to use it anyway instead of sendmail [11:38] ? [11:39] m_fulder, I've been googling a bit on it and nullmailer does seem very php-friendly [11:39] does *not* seem [11:40] ActionParsnip, i mean which application doesnot have GUI and doesnot show up in menu . [11:40] glebihan aha weird :S maybe I should try sendmail instead then [11:41] m_fulder, I would recommend it anyway [11:41] glebihan btw how can I just unlink nullmailer from sendmail now :P ? [11:41] I'm getting following errors on every upgrade, installaion - debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline. What's the reson and how to fix i? [11:42] m_fulder, just delete /usr/sbin/sendmail [11:42] KcGenesis: thats a LOT of commands, what do you want to achieve? [11:42] orated: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update [11:43] ActionParsnip, i want to know which commands are there to run. or installed [11:44] KcGenesis, dpkg --get-selections | grep '[^e]install$' | cut -f 1 | less [11:44] KcGenesis: Its very ambiguous dude [11:44] rumpe1, if vmware and virtualbox are producing the same problem, what on gods earth could that mean to you ? [11:44] rumpe1: s/he wants the ones which don't fire a GUI app [11:45] rumpe1, that'll give package names not commands [11:46] KcGenesis, what problem do you want to solve (effectively) or it this more a theoretical question? [11:46] rumpe1, could it have been the kernel update that recently came through ? [11:47] KcGenesis, i really have absolutely no idea, in which situations such a list would be helpful [11:48] spo0kz, maybe. You could try older kernels, if you have any. [11:48] rumpe1, not actually few month ago i installed a security application and i can't remember its name and and i have no idea how find it that why. [11:49] KcGenesis, what was that application doing ? [11:50] KcGenesis, well... you could search with "apropos " with word=security or something relevant ... or "aptitude search ", or "apt-cache search "... === richard is now known as Guest53740 [11:50] glebihan, that was a ip/portscanner [11:51] hi yall [11:51] KcGenesis, try "apt-cache search portscan" [11:52] ActionParsnip: Sorry, I lost connection. I'll pastebin what you asked for in a moment [11:52] KcGenesis, or variant "apt-cache search port | grep scan" "apt-cache search scan | grep port"... [11:53] rumpe1, well luckily this is all set up on an external hard drive, i use clonezilla but only have a clone of this new kernel update, might try reinstalling ubuntu and see if it still lags idk, seems like alot of work just to play poker [11:53] cloning more often seems wise [11:53] gonna go for a bacon butty first [11:53] nah mean lul [11:53] must be an easier more technical way of troubleshooting this [11:53] spo0kz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [11:54] get up that werent flooding [11:54] spo0kz, the bot disagrees [11:55] i noticed ... [11:56] spo0kz, grub stores per default more than one kernel... except you have customized the config. [11:56] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/pNwyrYd6 . I don't see it on update but on upgrades followed by installation [11:56] rumpe1, yeah clonezilla did that right [11:56] rumpe1, im running of a restore as i stand [11:56] thanks guys it worked..one thing what is difference between "aptitude search" and "apt-cache search" [11:57] orated: can youu pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get upgrade please [11:57] brb commiting suicide [11:58] KcGenesis, aptitude is a higher level interface to APT than apt-cache, which only queries the cache, but apt-cache is faster. [11:58] Is there an option on Unity that avoids focus stealing? === Guest74279 is now known as gerula [12:00] . [12:00] rumpe1, and how to logout windows from terminal ?

The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [12:11] hi guys wuick question it seems someone has been trying to remote access my pc is there a way to check logs for the incoming ips [12:11] just mean why they dont upgrade some packages [12:11] th0r: i can't open it [12:11] !latest | Night-Hacks [12:11] Night-Hacks: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.

I have a linux server, ubuntu installed, and I forgot the password for my only account in the system. root password is not set, and when selecting recovery mode in grub, and going to root shell, it asks me for the root password - which is not set afaik. Is this something new? Before I was greeted by the root shell, no questions asked. Can I bypass this step to change my password(s)? [12:19] that`s too bad [12:19] how to add my latter in lxde ?

But why I was not able to view that post myself here [12:19] bjhaid, still don't get it. rc.local runs with root-permissions and you can always let root execute a script as a user [12:19] rumpe1: would rc.local run before any other app @ startup? [12:19] Yo ! [12:19] how to add my language on keyboard ? [12:20] in lxde [12:20] no... as last boot-script i guess. Another solution would be upstart, but rc.local is much simpler.

[12:24] chewed-on: nope [12:24] wildbat, luckily I don't need to do that, because I've just remembered the password :). Still, since when you need to to that.

[12:26] antony, convert how then?

Thanks for the help anyway! [12:28] japan: you can use gparted to format partitions easily, is that what you mean? [12:28] bazhang, ok for reencoding [12:29] japan: everything? as the whole harddrive? whole folder? whole ...errr world? [12:30] but ye [12:30] yes [12:30] 08:27:15 how to delete all without asking ?

ActionParsnip & Feldegast [12:43] LABcrab: possibly, torrents add extra error checks [12:43] LABcrab i have not seen a firefox add-on [12:43] LABcrab: it calculates some values based on the data within the file.

[13:23] chroot: yes [13:23] Is there a way to tell if ACPI is working properly on my laptop? I suspect it isn't, which is why many things are currently not working.

I mean, without changing the sources to Maverick sources [13:29] the same situation , the first os in my computer is windows , and later i installed the ubuntu too . but in my grub list , that is ok . [13:30] chroot: any ideas? [13:30] yeah [13:31] there is a grub.cfg in /etc [13:31] if you want to add a entry for win , u need edit this file [13:31] just add a windows entry in this file [13:32] chroot: grub.cfg shouldn't be edited directly [13:32] chroot, thats not correct [13:32] yeah [13:32] and i already wrote the function [13:32] !grub2 | chroot please have a read [13:32] chroot please have a read: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[13:49] latest VLC are major upgrades, but bug fixes [13:50] oh , i remember , like gnome mplayer [13:50] thanks auronandace] [13:50] Did anyone have problem with endless boot from usb drive?

[13:51] chroot: uk 2:51 pm [13:51] vlc that works [13:52] chroot, what config? [13:52] ;- ) [13:52] silverarrow: what version are you using? [13:52] do any of you guys know of a program that monitors network connections made from a specific process? [13:52] 1.1.09 [13:52] en? mine 21:44 [13:52] funny uh [13:52] silverarrow: there is a 1.1.11 PPA [13:52] in package manager? [13:52] I have been looking [13:52] silverarrow: what is the output of: lsb_release -c [13:52] silverarrow: you'll need a 3rd party ppa [13:52] markitoxs, i think there is something in your ssh config file , read it , [13:53] clever Parsnip [13:53] markitoxs, and also search ssh with ubuntu in google [13:53] !! [13:53] silverarrow: what is the output of the command I gave? [13:53] chroot, the host machine you mean? because i am trying to ssh from different machines and still experiencing the same issue, so i assume its the host that has a problem [13:54] natty [13:54] ActionParsnip natty [13:54] yes , ssh server is on host , and u shoul check out host [13:54] you welcome [13:54] silverarrow: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chimerarevo/vlc/ubuntu; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [13:54] silverarrow, I agree. ActionParsnip natty. [13:55] silverarrow: I can suggest ditching VLC (unless you need one of it's features) and use gnome-mplayer [13:56] yeah , gnom mplayer is great [13:56] Ramses, hi [13:57] ActionParsnip, something is happening !! [13:58] silverarrow: read the screen, you can see the version being installed [13:58] ActionParsnip, I would, but in my experience gnome can't handle everything, so I go for both Gone and vlc [13:59] ActionParsnip, are u installed vlc the same time [13:59] silverarrow: same, I only use vlc for the remote control via my Android phone [13:59] chroot: sure why not :) [13:59] chroot: if you want it even faster, get an SSD [13:59] ActionParsnip, i just wonder. [13:59] <10 sec boot of ubuntu for me [13:59] zagibu, what is ssd [13:59] solid state disk [13:59] really [14:00] details === RA_drc____ is now known as RA_drc [14:00] SSD is pretty nice, but expensive [14:00] !ot | chroot [14:00] chroot: #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! [14:00] there is only ubuntu11.04 on my computer [14:00] ActionParsnip, yes, sometimes gnome has behaved better, so I like to have them both [14:02] Morning, all [14:02] JWelch: afternoon [14:03] JWelch, morning [14:03] bazhang, ssd , is hardware , need but it [14:03] right [14:03] So this morning, my Empathy client's contact list is empty. I can chat with folks, so I'm connected, but nothing appears. [14:03] chroot, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic Ubuntu support only here. [14:04] Have rebooted, killed/restarted Empathy, and searched, but haven't found a fix - is this the right place to check on that? [14:04] ActionParsnip: was I suppose to get VLC 1.1.11? darn, I still have 1.1.09 [14:05] is it possible to install full OS from liveCD? [14:05] yes [14:05] i have an old fx5200 graphic card.. it has dvi, vga and tv-out.. does it support dual screen? does anyone know? [14:05] skim1776, yes [14:06] skim1776, it is pretty much identical, just following the install guide from desktop, at least in Ubuntu === RA_drc_ is now known as RA_drc [14:07] silverarrow: restart the app [14:07] JWelch, why don't you use another program instead of Empathy? [14:07] I have endless loop while boot - the sign is "automatic boot will be in 10"...9 - 0 then again from 10 to 0 [14:07] vtt4 - I could, but I like Empathy's integration into the OS [14:07] skim1776: is that on the liveCD or has the CD not booted yet? [14:07] I install from usb drive [14:07] Im looking for a way to clone a hard drive of a networked windows computer with a ubuntu server and then restore it later via network boot is this possible? [14:08] it's not livecd but minimal-iso [14:08] skim1776: ok, did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [14:08] So, to answer the question more directly, personal preference. It's worked for over a year, so I'm curious as to what may have changed over the weekend. [14:08] yes, md5 is the same as in the repository [14:08] silverarrow: for a media player, not at all [14:08] does empathy work with a skype account? [14:08] matariel: Not to my knowledge. [14:08] silverarrow: what is the output of: apt-cache policy vlc us a pastebin to hold the text [14:09] skim1776: is the system set to boot USB first? [14:09] materiel, i don't think so [14:09] matariel: no, only skype does [14:09] hi folks [14:09] matariel: skype is closed source [14:10] ActionParsnip, of couse, the process is being started but then endless loop goes [14:10] JWelch, do you know emesene? [14:10] it seems the command add-apt-repository is broken concerning proxy etc. I'm trying to use it over a socks proxy but it just fails as you can see here http://pastebin.com/vmFjQ5n1 [14:10] Anyone here using NFSv4 on Ubuntu Server, and is able to explain to me what would be involved in migrating NFSv3 to NFSv4? [14:10] any clue about that problem ? [14:10] Gnome3 or KDE-4.7 for Laptop ? [14:10] Had not looked into it, vtt4 [14:10] Will go poke about a bit [14:11] lestat: do you use a proxy? [14:11] mah454: why not xfce? lxde? enlightenment? [14:11] mah454: either [14:11] http://pastebin.com/bCya5tf2 [14:11] ActionParsnip: yes otherwise second command wouldn't work [14:11] ActionParsnip: actually using ssh -D [14:11] How do i use chntpw with Vista? [14:11] actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/bCya5tf2 [14:11] Still curious as to what broke a long-functional app - I can honestly say that there's been NO change since it was last working [14:11] JWelch, you should try it [14:11] LABcrab, try ##windows [14:11] !gnome3 | mah454 [14:11] mah454: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [14:12] silverarrow: you chopped of the top lines. Can you pastebin the whole output please [14:12] LABcrab: vista isn't supported here, try ##windows [14:13] actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/8z16vEyn [14:14] ubottu without checking distrobutions ... I use Arch linux . Gnome3 or KDE-4.7 ? [14:14] mah454: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:14] My wife crashes her computer more than anyone Ive ever seen so I want to simply install windows and her apps then clone the hard drive to my server then next time she crashes it I just go to the server and tell it to restore her computer is this possible [14:14] mah454, #archlinux NOT here [14:15] maybe it's hardware issues, like hard drive error? [14:15] [14:15] Dans326: maybe its' hard ware issues [14:15] bazhang distobutions not important for me ... . only comparison Gnome3 or KDE-4.7 in Laptop ... [14:16] silverarrow: 2 years ago I got us identical systems with in three months hers had crashed twice the second time the hard drive was toast shes on her third computer and countless reinstalls [14:16] mah454, arch is not supported here [14:16] silverarrow: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall vlc; [14:16] silverarrow: without the last ; [14:16] mah454: then ask in a generic channel like #linux [14:16] mah454: this is not the appropriate place to ask, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:16] probably too much facebook or pron [14:16] [14:17] ohhh ... ! Ok i use Ubuntu . OK ? unity or KDE netbook edition for laptop ? [14:18] XFCE for a laptop, but thats just my opinion [14:18] mah454: try both, see what you like [14:18] Uber lightweight, and I use it on my laptop [14:18] mah454: depends which apps you intend to use, if you use more KDE apps then use KDE, if you use Gnome apps then use Gnome [14:18] I agree. Unity and KDE are not my type. Xfce or Gnone 2.x [14:18] Roken: use Lubuntu, it's super light [14:18] !polls | mah454 [14:18] mah454: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:18] actionparsnip, invalid operation vlc? [14:18] rypervenche: Natty uses Gnome 2 and uses Unity [14:19] @Action I'll have to check it out, but I've been mainly running ubuntu inside of VMs as of late [14:19] silverarrow: sudo apt-get --reinstall install vlc [14:19] rypervenche: unity isn't a DE [14:19] Guys, this is completely unrelated to ubuntu, but how do I change my nick without relogging? =D [14:19] silverarrow: nope Ive done scans of her machine checked for anything and everything hell last time I did a reinstall got it all working she installed her sims game then rebooted and it came up with system restore [14:19] Roken: use: /nick name [14:20] Roken "/nick new nick" [14:20] t === Roken is now known as pixel_shift [14:20] There we go =] [14:20] pixel_shift: simples [14:21] @dans326 Is it a dual boot system? [14:21] ActionParsnip: I know, it's a shell interface, but I still don't like it. To each his own though.^^ [14:21] Dans326, really weird [14:22] rypervenche: but then you can't say you prefer gnome 2.x ...makes no sense [14:22] ActionParsnip: Gnome 2.x without Unity, I sure can. [14:23] hey there, i completely destroyed my wifi capability's. How can i restore it to the default drivers etc. Tried to get ndiswrapper running due to slow wifi speed bug (Intel 3945) but right now I have no wifi at all [14:23] ActionParsnip; worked !!!! [14:23] rypervenche: unity desktop which is installed i Ubuntu USES gnome 2, it just has the extra shell. You need a DE to be running to get Unity, the default DE is Gnome 2.x in Natty [14:23] silverarrow: cool [14:23] Dans326 : something is definitely messing up [14:24] silverarrow so Ive basically given up on figuring out what she is doing to it and just looking for a quick fix for it. So is there a way to just install everything and then clone the HD to my server and then later restore using network boot [14:24] rypervenche: when you use Ubuntu Classic, the unity shell doesn't run and Gnome panel runs instead. Both use Gnome 2.x [14:24] hobbel: slow wifi? i use the same wifi, works fine for me [14:24] Dans326, like full backup? [14:24] @dans326 I'm jumping in a little late here, but have you tried reinstalling grub to the MBR via a live CD? (I'm assuming its a dual boot sytem) [14:25] vtt4 - Does emesene support Jabber? All I see is live messenger as an option [14:25] auronandace intel3945, its maxed out at 1mbit down on ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/621265 [14:25] Ubuntu bug 621265 in Linux "Slow Wireless Connection in Intel 3945abg" [High,Confirmed] [14:25] thats the bug [14:25] Dans326, regular back up hard drive is common though? [14:25] hobbel: itel wifi is usually very good under linux (at least in my experience) [14:25] i imagine a fast connection [14:25] ubuntu bug 621265 in the list is pretty epic hahahha [14:25] ActionParsnip: I'm aware of that. You don't need to be completely politically correct here. I have tried Unity and do not like it. That is that. [14:25] and its annoying, so tried to evade it with windows drivers, but its completely gone now [14:25] silverarrow yea just clone it once and then use that same starting point [14:25] fuck yea [14:25] Arilyn, I have 50/50mbit, i can use 1/50 due to the bug [14:25] which modules to my site due to buying [14:26] hey how can i make my own IRC server ? [14:26] rypervenche: that's fine, just making sure you don't confuse what unity is ;) [14:26] am not have tried unity and it was bored and it pains me open the drama fuck yeah [14:26] Arilyn, stop the cursing [14:26] ActionParsnip: It's all good. We all use what use because of preference. That's the great thing about Linux.^^ [14:26] hobbel: you using maverick? [14:27] hobbel: itel wifi is egotastic faggot! [14:27] Max00355: http://nickmcd.tv/2011/01/set-up-a-irc-server-in-ubuntu-tutorial/ [14:27] I'm not shore really, i have always had a separate harddisk for that [14:27] Rofl [14:27] auronandace Arilyn im on 11.04 and this bug has been haunting us for ~2 years now. Fixed it in the past with ndiswrapper [14:28] dans326; really crashing the os irreparable should be rare stuff [14:29] hobbel: hmm, sorry i've never had a problem with it (i know that doesn't help you, but i'm not sure what to suggest) === Fuchs_ is now known as Fuchs [14:29] @hobbel The only thing I know of to fix wireless driver problems is ndiswrapper =( [14:29] Dans326 : I'm not shore really, i have always had a separate harddisk for that [14:29] silverarrow destroying 3 sets of hardware in 2 years should also be unheard of [14:30] hobbel: if the wifi device is an internal PCI device then it can be changed easily [14:30] pixel_shift any idea how I can fix ndiswrapper then? driver loaded but no Wifi or wlan0 [14:30] Dans326, yeah, a bit weird [14:30] hobbel: some laptops even have mini-pci wifi cards [14:30] silverarrow: its been theorized that my wifes body has an excess electrical charge that effects electronics but the only proof of this is the number of toasted computers she leaves in her wake [14:30] Dans326; a laptop on a bike or something like that? [14:31] Dans326 lol, a seriously led-padded laptop lol [14:31] @hobbel Try this is terminal sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:31] But other than that... I have no idea [14:32] Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces [14:32] Even manually restarting from terminal? [14:32] Dans326, I have heard of that, one guy had to walk around with one onion in each of his hands every day, for his body to decharge [14:32] pixel_shift yes [14:32] @hobbel Had no idea, but thanks for the info! lol [14:33] its pretty dead right :P [14:33] @hobbel Have you tried finding drivers for the chipset on the card and not the card itself? [14:33] pixel_shift it has the right driver for the wifi chipset, and hardware has been found [14:34] silverarrow: I dont know about that but my wife cannot wear digital watches they never last more than a week or so even with coating the metal portions with nail polish [14:34] @hobbel Some other drivers for other cards may work (Thats what I had to use ndiswrapper for in 8.04) if they have the same chipset as your card. [14:34] pixel_shift might try that [14:34] pixel_shift but is there anything i should do beside loading the driver in order to get wifi? [14:34] hey guys wich is the name of amministration server tool that can I use instead of not yet supported webmin? [14:35] !ebox [14:35] zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [14:35] might as well just reinstall [14:35] ActionParsnip: thanks [14:35] Dans326, maybe she should try a good walk in nature, every day, with one onion in each of her hands LOL [14:35] I have a Dell E6400 latitude, BCM4312 WiFi card, have tried just about everything to get it to work, but it wont.. At first modprobe b43 did it, I had wifi, rebooted, and it was gone.

[14:38] pixel_shift well, partially. One of the kernels did work [14:38] others did not [14:38] Phoenixz: you need the firmware cutter package [14:38] actionparsnip, didn't result in anything? [14:38] Phoenixz: the device can't come up due to missing firmware files, as you can see from the paste [14:38] @hobbel If you can afford a reinstall, then hey...

So I did everything manual, got the driver, ran b43-fwcutter, but after that, I have found no instructions.. How would I proceed? [14:39] can Debian and Ubuntu share a /Home partition?

Hope you can find a good fix [14:42] is there a plan to use chromium as the default browser in ubuntu? [14:42] pixel_shift yeah, lets hope so [14:42] ActionParsnip: the apt-get install firmware-b43-installer fails on --configure, cheking logs it mentions somehting about an unsupported mini card, but AFAIK, the BCM4312 IS supported ,right? [14:42] yao_ziyuan: it is default in Lubuntu [14:42] btw gotto separate home partition first [14:42] i need a help, how change the local of Documents folder in a /home?

[14:46] Phoenixz: its all about those files :) [14:47] marcelo__: I suggest you make a folder and move the files across. Then delete ~/Documents and make a symlink from the new location to ~/Documents [14:47] actionparsnip, no change, it plays sound, but no picture [14:47] silverarrow: in all browsers? [14:47] ActionParsnip, thanks, but how do I do this? [14:48] Hrm. Uninstalling/reinstalling Empathy fixed it - I can see my contact list now. Still wonder what was up, but meh. [14:48] marcelo__: ok where do you want the new folder to be? [14:48] ActionParsnip, in windows partition [14:48] marcelo__: ok but what path? [14:48] /dev/sda4 [14:48] no, not browser, but downloaded youtube video, neither flash streams [14:48] I messed the nautilus-elementry. The sidebar,menubar,and navigation bar are gone .... I deselected then in the options.... Now how to have them back ? The option to select and deselect needs atleast one BAR.... [14:48] marcelo__: you can't access raw block devices, it needs mounting [14:49] !info nautilus-elementary [14:49] Package nautilus-elementary does not exist in natty [14:49] ActionParsnip no, not browser, but downloaded youtube video, neither flash streams [14:50] actionparsnip, in browser it's only adobe flash player [14:50] silverarrow: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:50] silverarrow: could try minitube [14:50] yes, well two packages called "lubuntu restrickted" and lots for the dvd player [14:50] silverarrow: so you are using lubuntu? [14:51] yes [14:51] yes but I installed with ppa.... and want to reset the bars... Any shortcut key? [14:51] silverarrow: i see, ok you need lubuntu-restricted-extras [14:51] gulzar: then its [14:51] gulzar: then it's not supported here [14:51] VLC, has worked no problem a couple of months ago ActionParsnip [14:51] OK [14:51] ActionParsnip, For example, I want my music files, videos and documents, I can access it in windows and ubuntu, so I'll have to put the three folders to mount at startup, and after it, link to sites that I set up folders? [14:51] silverarrow: tried as a different user? [14:51] ActionParsnip: Just rebooted, no result [14:51] actionparsnip, I have those I think, but I suppose there are lots of them? [14:52] marcelo__: you will need to make the partition mount at boot, do you have that already? [14:52] silverarrow: its just a metapackage if you are talking about lubuntu-restricted-extras [14:52] ActionParsnip, no, i dont [14:53] yes, I found two in package manager and always install them [14:53] I'm having some problems booting into Ubuntu after the latest kernel update, with claims about the "disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present" -- when I boot into the root recovery command line and run fdisk -l, it locks up. Is this a hardware problem? [14:53] marcelo__: you will need to get that sorted first, then you can simply make symlinks to the docs in your windows partition to your home folder and you will have easy access [14:53] silverarrow: cool, then I'm not sure dude, never used vlc for youtube etc. Always flash or minitube [14:54] Travis-42: If it only happens under the new kernel, no. Have you been able to try with an older kernel? [14:54] actionparsnip, minitube? [14:56] Taroven, how do I run the old kernel? [14:56] Taroven, ah nevermind I see it under Previous versions [14:56] ActionParsnip, in fstab? [14:56] Travis-42: Yep, you got it. Try there, if it works just remove the new kernel and don't worry about it. [14:57] Taroven, heh nope, same error and still won't boot. I guess something is going on with the drive. thanks [14:57] Travis-42: Possibly. Give a live cd a shot before doing anything drastic.

Quick google for "alsa 96khz" should point you in the right direction [15:02] ubuntu support gnome 3 ? [15:02] Hemangpatel: Depends on who you ask. :) [15:02] in 11.04, not yet [15:02] in 11.10, it will === marcelo_ is now known as macfiree [15:02] Officially not yet, tensorpudding is correct.

[15:03] Hemangpatel: by default, 11.10 will have unity, on gnome 3 [15:03] and on 11.04 ? [15:03] it will be gnome 3 underneath, but use the unity panel/launcher/dash [15:04] on 11.04, unity on gnome 2 is default, with a fallback to gnome 2 [15:04] the fallback behaves like 10.10 and previous ubuntu versions [15:04] from where i can downlad nvidia drivers ?

[15:05] actually, run the Additional Drivers program [15:05] ok [15:05] thanks [15:06] if you have an nvidia card, it should give you the option to install a driver for it, quick and easy [15:06] how i mount a partition?

[15:10] Issue of my own: On a 10.04 server box which is still kinda in the works, I was unable to set a static IP via the GUI, ended up going through /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf to get it working. Somewhere in there, the connections manager 'lost' eth0 (not on the list), and now when the computer boots I need to run 'ifup eth0' manually - works fine from there. This is a box with no keyboard or mouse, so a bit problematic. Any ideas? [15:10] ActionParsnip, same error [15:11] ActionParsnip: you also mean I have to reinstall samba-common and samba-common-bin along samba? [15:12] cheers zagibu, I've tried everywhere, i thought at least, I installed 10.04 but i can't seem to get the drivers working for the card [15:12] Note on that: I've got no problems with bash scripts to work around the problem, but I'd really rather just fix the problem itself. [15:13] goodtimes_eca: well, if you have already tried everywhere, your question is kind of redundant [15:13] anyone which directory fms is installed in by default ? [15:13] !info fms [15:13] Package fms does not exist in natty [15:13] Hm [15:13] goodtimes_eca: is it a built-in wifi card? [15:13] zagibu: yep [15:14] I've made an ssh key and a GPG key. Now I want to use those on my laptop as well. Can I just copy ~/.ssh and ~/.gnupg? [15:14] i looked on adobe site but it says go to the root folder I cant find it [15:14] its not just the wireless though [15:14] goodtimes_eca: then I suggest buying a cheap and known to work usb wifi adaptor off ebay [15:14] its the whole card, [15:14] hmmm, that's a bigger problem of course [15:15] zagibu: good idea [15:15] what are the lspci lines, have you already googled them?

[15:21] _Neytiri_: What is autoexpect? [15:21] jo-erlend_: Just copy them once, and then you'll be done with it. You only need your private keys. [15:21] <_Neytiri_> it interacts with the passwd utitility so i can write a script to auto creat user accounts === hacked is now known as vinces [15:21] rypervenche, yes, you mean canonical has access? I meant syncing in general, really. I've just been working so much with u1 lately that sync and u1 have become almost synonymous. :) [15:22] _Neytiri_: It appears to be part of the 'expect' package. [15:22] jo-erlend_: You never want to share your private keys, syncing them is not wise. [15:22] rypervenche, right. I actually meant known_hosts and such. [15:22] ok.

[15:23] sorry for being an idiot, though [15:24] how to find and instal riched30? (need to get the txt echo in zmud to work) [15:24] jo-erlend_: Because you can delete it and it will just ask you if you want to add a host to it when you connect.

[16:00] chewed-on: free as in free speech not as in free beer [16:00] iceroot_: ah crap = / [16:00] Hello, After mush reluctance to upgrade to Ubuntu Natty I finally did it, and am encountering two problems: 1) I have to reinstall my NVIDIA driver on every reboot of the system from the command line, it is extremely annoying and even after killing gdm completely and installing the driver and starting gdm, then rebooting, I have to do it again and 2) my Synergy desktop will flicker for about 1 second every time i switch desktops, which is unacceptable. nvid [16:00] ia 280.13 [16:00] iceroot_, FYI but the free/non-free VBoxs have been merged (obviously not yet in Ubuntu repos) [16:01] please help [16:01] silverarrow: The vlc ppa page top right shows some "failed to build", but it should still try to pull the last good one [16:01] zykotick9: so the free one supports usb now? [16:01] iceroot, still a bit difficult, http://pastebin.com/qWEbuGiu [16:01] anyone know if my "Remote Desktop Viewer" message is normal and will work when im away from home ? [16:01] iceroot_, from the site yes - there is no "free one" anymore, just one version now [16:01] i was hoping to install ubutnu onto my virtual box so I can mount my external hard drive because Mac is unable to mount it. [16:01] zykotick9: oracle...... [16:01] , i see, thanks [16:01] chewed-on: What filesystem is the external drive? [16:02] ntfs [16:02] iceroot_, seems out of place for Oracle to do something right for a change ;) [16:02] silverarrow: i dont see an error [16:02] zykotick9: they destroy every free software... openoffice, vbox, java... [16:02] chewed-on: There's an "ntfs" kernel module. If you enable that with "modprobe ntfs" you might be able to mount that drive. [16:02] zykotick9: ksplice [16:03] iceroot_, oh, i hear ya! [16:03] cwood: kinda disappointing how fat 32 is windows and ntfs is also windows but can't be written to like how fat 32 can. [16:03] "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address " means I cant access my computer remotely with remote desktop viewer away from home ? [16:03] chewed-on: or, "sudo modprobe ntfs". [16:03] why is speech-dispatcher running when I open Sound Preferences?! [16:03] chewed-on: its not a ntfs issue [16:03] cwood: I'll get it a shot and see. [16:03] chewed-on: i already told you why you dont see the drive [16:03] I had to modprobe that kernel on gentoo linux too, I remember that [16:04] iceroot_: Aha, wasn't following along. Didn't think the drive was unavailable. [16:04] How can I make Remote Desktop Viewer in Ubuntu work over internet instead of just local home network ? I have forwrded the 5900 port on my router still no luck [16:04] modprobe command not found [16:04] iceroot, genii-around, gdea73, VLC is working !! ;- ) [16:04] chewed-on: sudo but again!!! that is not the problem [16:04] silverarrow: great [16:04] chewed-on: you are using the "wrong" version of vbox which doesnt support usb [16:05] iceroot_: I did type sudo! I just pasted the error it returned [16:05] but, @everyone: "Welcome to orca. Current desktop environment is classic gnome." it says this when I open sound preferences. [16:05] chewed-on: and you dont need to modprobe anything to write on ntfs [16:05] Aer: If you nmap your public IP address do you see 5900 open? [16:05] lol, I thought my box was hacked or something weirder === anthony_ is now known as anth0ny [16:05] iceroot_: wait…are you talking about mac osx or ubuntu ? [16:05] where do you mean do i see 5900 open ? in my router ? [16:05] Hello, After mush reluctance to upgrade to Ubuntu Natty I finally did it, and am encountering two problems: 1) I have to reinstall my NVIDIA driver on every reboot of the system from the command line, it is extremely annoying and even after killing gdm completely and installing the driver and starting gdm, then rebooting, I have to do it again and 2) my Synergy desktop will flicker for about 1 second every time i switch desktops, which is unacceptable. nvid [16:05] ia 280.13 [16:06] genii-around, I wish I could remember what I did though [16:06] chewed-on: you said you are using vbox and dont see your external usb drive there [16:06] Aer: In the output of nmap [16:06] Aer: Have you ever used nmap? [16:06] ive never used nmap :s [16:06] www.nmap.org read [16:06] Aer: install it: sudo apt-get install nmap [16:06] ok [16:06] ok ill install now [16:06] Zenmap could be easier [16:06] Aer: then what we want to do is : nmap It's output is pretty clear I think. [16:06] iceroot_: fdisk -l would show the hard drive it vbox free version had support for it. [16:06] It's GUI for nmap. [16:07] ok [16:07] ill go do it now [16:07] Mkaysi_, wow, fail [16:07] I know how to mount the hard drive on linux with write permission [16:07] this channel is very laggy... [16:07] im assuming nmap on the computer i want to connect to right ? just making sure lol [16:07] chewed-on: if you dont see the drive with fdisk -l you cant mount the drive because its not there [16:07] Aer: nmap on the computer you're using to nmap [16:07] Aer: Umm, this isn't clear :P [16:07] nmap is a port scanner, Aer. it just helps find port connectivity problems. [16:08] Aer: no. You want nmap on some other computer [16:08] ok [16:08] Aer: I suppose is really doesn't matter [16:08] ok [16:08] Aer: if you want to access your ubuntu over the internet you have to use port-forwarding in your router [16:08] i'm going to ask for help in #linux i'm not getting what i need here [16:08] iceroot_: he knows, we're checking using nmap [16:08] edbian: ah ok, because someone said use nmap on the local machine [16:09] yeah, i have forwarded the port 5900 but the remote desktop viewer still says its only connetable on the local network [16:09] iceroot_: I guess it doesn't matter right? He wants to nmap the public IP [16:09] sprung: feel free to do so [16:09] Aer: The gui doesn't know what it's talking about [16:09] why does GPGDir ask for the name of the recipient over and over again how do I use -r to tell it that each file goes to the one person? [16:09] lol [16:09] Aer: ignore that, have nmap yet? [16:09] edbian: no the router is seeing that the wan ip is maped to itself [16:09] yup just installed it [16:09] edbian: so its a lan request [16:09] iceroot_, thank you for your permission [16:09] edbian: let me correct, most routers act like that [16:10] edbian: so you have to use nmap outside from the lan [16:10] fyi: figured it out, it was this bug: [16:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-orca/+bug/773450 [16:10] Ubuntu bug 773450 in gnome-orca (Ubuntu Natty) "sound preferences opens speech-dispatcher" [Undecided,In progress] [16:11] iceroot_: I don't think so if you use public IP [16:11] edbian, my results are here http://pastebin.com/Wv5bUySj [16:11] hope i done it right [16:11] Aer: reading... [16:11] ok :) [16:11] Hi guys [16:12] edbian: but your request is not from outside [16:12] edbian: the request is coming from the router to the router [16:12] Hello, After mush reluctance to upgrade to Ubuntu Natty I finally did it, and am encountering two problems: 1) I have to reinstall my NVIDIA driver on every reboot of the system from the command line, it is extremely annoying and even after killing gdm completely and installing the driver and starting gdm, then rebooting, I have to do it again and 2) my Synergy desktop will flicker for about 1 second every time i switch desktops, which is unacceptable. nvid [16:12] ia 280.13 [16:13] edbian: and the routers sees the reuqest is coming from 192.168.0.2 and he has a route from wan <-> 192.168.0.2 so its a local request because of the nat [16:13] Is there anyone here who actually knows something about Linux? [16:13] !ask | fasta [16:13] fasta: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:13] fasta: one imagines so. [16:13] fasta: Nope, we're all Windows users :P Yeah, what do you need? [16:13] hi there I messed up my terminal bad up and down arrows are not working so that means no control in nano vi ect... any one know how to compleatly reset terminal or where the conf file might be ? [16:13] bobweaver: try "stty sane" [16:14] anyone using minitube ? [16:14] I get mtrr: type mismatch for e0000000, 10000000 old: write-back new: write-combining. [16:14] iceroot_: yeah, but the request is going to a public IP so it at least ends up at the outside of his LAN [16:14] edbian: no because of the nat [16:14] Aer: port 5900 is not open (because it isn't listed) [16:14] oh :/ [16:14] While I understand the function of mtrr, I feel that as a user I should not have anything to do with it. [16:14] sipior: will look into Thanks bro [16:14] my router is set to allow for 5900 though :s [16:14] iceroot_: What does not have to do? So it NAT's and send it out to [16:15] Currently it takes 5 _minutes_ to boot my system, not seconds. [16:15] Aer: What address does it forward 5900 too? [16:15] iceroot_: His nmap would indicate that 5900 was open if you are right correct? [16:15] edbian: the router knows that the public_ip is himself. because of that thr reuqest is NOT leaving the lan [16:15] So, it would be nice if someone with some actual clue would be able to respond. [16:15] Hello, After mush reluctance to upgrade to Ubuntu Natty I finally did it, and am encountering two problems: 1) I have to reinstall my NVIDIA driver on every reboot of the system from the command line, it is extremely annoying and even after killing gdm completely and installing the driver and starting gdm, then rebooting, I have to do it again and 2) my Synergy desktop will flicker for about 1 second every time i switch desktops, which is unacceptable. nvid [16:15] ia 280.13 [16:15] i have it set to any so any 5900 will be open for any computer connected to this router [16:15] edbian: nmap -p 5900 wan-adress should be open === fantomas is now known as onkeltem [16:16] iceroot: can you explain how you added a ppa? [16:16] edbian: when -p 5900 lan-ip is open and the reuqest is coming from inside the lan on most routers [16:16] just noticed 5900 isnt set in my "inbound" services though...that could be part of the problem i guess :s [16:16] silverarrow: sudo add-apt-repository ppaname [16:16] sipior: no dice but thanks any way === zz_RobinJ is now known as RobinJ [16:16] Aer: It doesn't work like that. You have to tell the router (when you get a request for 5900 send it to ip address X). I think you're allowing 5900 requests to go out (which is fine) [16:16] sprung, 280.13 doesn't appear to be the natty version, did you install directly from nvidia.com? [16:17] edbian: sudo traceroute wan-ip [16:17] rypervenche: well, I just described what I need. [16:17] iceroot, then I am adding a source to dowload from or check for updates? [16:17] hmm ok ill take another look and see about setting it to the computer i need to connect [16:17] edbian: on my router the requstion is going to my router and directly answered by the interlan lan ip from the router [16:17] !ppa | silverarrow [16:17] silverarrow: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[16:18] fasta: wow, nice. hope you suffer greatly. [16:18] iceroot_: What router?

[16:21] lol i just thought it worked a litle differntly thats all :P [16:21] Aer: you can only forwarding a port ones [16:21] huh ? [16:21] Aer: you cant forward 5900 to 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 [16:21] oh :s [16:22] Aer: well now that doesn't make sense. Every request for remote desktop will be 'remote desktop to publicIP port 5900' how do you know which computer you'll get to? [16:22] Aer: you have to to something like 5900 on 192.168.0.2:5900 5901 on 192.168.0.3:5900 and so on [16:22] iceroot_: (ones = once) [16:22] edbian: :( [16:22] iceroot_: :P [16:22] fasta: why not? so you can cop a bigger attitude? please. [16:22] edbian: ( edbian = debian) :) [16:22] so I have one rule iceroot_ ? but i set it to more than one IP in one rule ? [16:22] hahaha [16:23] Aer: you have one rule for every port-forwarding [16:23] Aer: You have one rule for each computer [16:23] hmm ok [16:23] ill have to look into this then :) but i have atleast got the ball rolling and have an idea what to do now :) got one computer working online atleast :P [16:23] thanks a lot for your time guys :) [16:23] there is a need of any packages for java beens program [16:23] Aer: sure :) [16:24] Aer: and use a good password :) [16:24] yeah :P [16:24] I needed to get this working because im moving out tomorrow and got my parents on ubuntu lol, they are quite noobish xD im going to be needing remote control now and then to help them :P [16:25] Aer: teamviewer is also a good solution [16:25] yeah i tried that one :) it seems to be running in wine though ? === michael is now known as Guest6643 [16:25] Aer: yes [16:25] that kinda put me off id prefer to be using something that runs native [16:25] incase of any bugs etc [16:25] Aer: I agree [16:25] im guessing im more likely to find a bug in remote control in wine than a native program [16:26] Team viewer is my main choice for a windows computer though it is a good program :) [16:26] Aer: and you dont have to "fight" with NAT [16:26] I cannot make minitube work, neither update to 1.1.5 from 1.1.3 [16:26] lol yeah :P [16:27] silverarrow: whats the error when starting it?

You have to buy the pro version to be able to use it for more than 55 seconds now. :( [16:29] really ? :s [16:29] + [16:29] iceroot_, I tried adding a ppa too, but it didn't work [16:30] thats kinda...well not gonna swear but you know lol... i been using team viewer for ages when connecting to a windows comp [16:30] gonna need to find something new [16:31] Aer: Ditto :( [16:31] How often does upstart re-read /etc/init?

[17:09] Slart, I don't see that [17:09] <\l> tystr: It would have a red notice saying "Recommend X keeps" or "X installs" or similar. [17:11] \l: looking at that now... [17:11] i am trying to use the calendar utility [17:12] doriad: here's what mine looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/672559/ [17:12] <\l> tystr: Aptitude has better dependency resolution than apt-get most of the time. There are other utilities out there that can be ever smarter (like synaptic), but I don't think they're supported anymore. [17:12] doriad: I don't see those lines in your output either.. odd [17:12] Hey people, is there a way to get internet connection from chrooot? [17:12] wicd says "rename failed" [17:13] Slart, anything you could suggest I try? [17:13] anyone use Fog? [17:14] doriad: it seems you're already using the binary nvidia driver.. 280.13 which I think it the latest one [17:14] doriad: not really sure what else to try then [17:14] doriad: oh.. wait .. that was my pastebin =) [17:14] Slart, in the NVIDIA server settings it says 270.41.06 [17:15] doriad: yes.. it's still the nvidia binary driver though... and I doubt you'll get much extra performance from just updating the driver [17:16] hello! Can somebody help me troubleshoot gdm? I installed a new nvidia driver and even though it worked fine, after the reboot xwindows do not load properly (even though GDM apparently is running) [17:16] doriad: what kind of numbers do you get if you run glxgears? fps in single digits? or better than that? [17:16] i mean its not just kind of slow , it is REALLY slow. When I do an operation that should be instantaneous, the program freezes for 10 seconds before updating [17:16] glxgears seems very choppy, but the numbers are good [17:16] How can I generate a new .Xauthority file?

[17:18] doriad: mm.. I get the same thing.. I think it's a problem with compiz [17:18] doriad: my system almost freezes totally when I run glxgears.. but, as you described, the numbers still look good [17:18] Slart, so I am running "ubuntu classic" because I don't like the sidebar thing (unity?)

I had no problems on 10.10 but since I installed 11.04 it's just been horrible [17:19] Slart, ok, I just didn't know what "compiz" was really [17:19] ok, i will share the requirement quickly maybe, and no, it's a lot like gentoo that of 3 [17:20] phrostbite, if everything fails it's /etc/apt/sources.list - but i don't know if that's the right approach...

[18:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/672630/ [18:01] salvatore, ok I think I see where the problem comes from [18:01] salvatore, why did you change the location of the database files ? [18:01] because i am trying to move tahta folder on dropbox [18:02] to share whit other machines [18:02] salvatore, ok then could you check if all files in your data folder are owned by mysql ? [18:02] how? [18:03] hi, how do you give all the resource of your CPU to a specific program? [18:03] salvatore, sudo ls -l /home/sanet/Dropbox/Localhost/database [18:03] salvatore, if there not owned by mysql, you'll have to run "sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /home/sanet/Dropbox/Localhost/database" [18:04] FonRithirong: it's not a good idea to give all to a specific program, what are you trying to do? [18:04] salvatore, anyway, you'll also have to edit /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld in order to allow mysql to access that folder [18:04] yes i did it [18:04] !nice | FonRithirong [18:04] FonRithirong: 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes.

[18:05] salvatore, editing /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld ? [18:05] Hi, So I've installed ubuntu and xubuntu previously, and have had the wireless settings working right out of the box. Now, it doesn't even recognize my network card. I have a thinkpad t410 2516-CTO machine. Can anyone help? [18:05] salvatore, or changing the permissions ? [18:05] editin apparmor i mean [18:05] salvatore, ok so did you get to check the permissions ? [18:06] steinem, was it enabled during install? [18:06] h00k, trying to run gnuradio/usrp, i'm getting an overrun but my cpu usage is only +10% for it [18:06] steinman, more importantly, is it enabled now?

[18:08] team, i'm having an issue where i cannot delete the /etc/group-, /etc/sghost-, /etc/passwd- files in ubuntu natty narwhal [18:08] i have tried it with sudo rm -v command and just get permission denied [18:08] salvatore, ? [18:08] no wlan0 [18:08] I can't export my songs in clementine as m3u, anyone else? [18:08] zRomayn: Why do you want to delete those files? [18:08] yes i am pasting the result on pastebin [18:08] so you can see [18:09] eth0 and lo are only enabled [18:09] steinman, is the hardware light on (on the computer) [18:09] salvatore, ok [18:09] Pici - that's because i assigned myself to the root group and removed myself from the default groups [18:09] hello everyone :> i have a netbook that has windows xp and ubuntu on it, but at present the option to boot into windows isn't working...could anyone tell me how i could remove grub as the bootloader? [18:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/672633/ [18:09] no it is not [18:10] zRomayn: That doesn't explain why you would want to remove those files though. [18:10] i am trying to work with 2 pc [18:10] salvatore, run "sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /home/sanet/Dropbox/Localhost/database" [18:10] steinem, can you turn it on with the switch or Fn-F5? [18:11] Salvatore-pc is windows machine, sanet is Ubuntu [18:11] salvatore, and you want to share the database between them ? [18:11] Pici - it is because those files are locking the files /etc/group, /etc/sghost, and /etc/passwd [18:11] yes.. [18:11] sharp66, no i cannot [18:11] How to create a cron task to execute x amount of time after a reboot? [18:11] pici - so i cannot assign myself to the default groups [18:11] it does not work [18:11] salvatore, you really (I mean really) don't want to do that [18:12] zRomayn: Are you not using usermod? [18:12] sharp66, where is the switch? [18:12] why not? [18:12] pici - yes, i am [18:12] steinem, usually on the edge of the laptop [18:12] zRomayn: With sudo? [18:12] my t60 and w520 both have it on the front [18:12] keyboardtalk, to my knowledge "cron" can't schedule based on events like that - I believe it's only time based [18:12] salvatore, because database files should never be shared between several serverse [18:13] Pici - if i try sudo usermode i get the following "romayn is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" [18:13] where do i type sudu commands? [18:13] sharp it's on [18:13] i'm going to try to install the drivers using ndisgtk [18:14] salvatore, plus, from what I've seen you're also trying to sync those files some way, but the correct permissions will never be set that way [18:14] zRomayn: Is your user not the one that was first created at install time, or has something happened to your group permissions? [18:14] salvatore, the good way to do it would be to configure one of your computers to allow remote access from the other, and use a remote mysql connection [18:14] mmm..i see...i thought that it might have been useful because i work on different machine [18:14] anybody with a macbookpro? [18:14] stienem, was it off? [18:14] salvatore, see my last post [18:15] Pici - yeah, i removed myself from the default groups by playing with the usermod command [18:15] I get "Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server" when connecting to a windows7 shared folder. How can I debug this? [18:15] zRomayn: If you boot to the recovery console you should be able to use usermod to put yourself back into groups. [18:15] Pici - so here are the groups that i'm now "uid=1000(romayn) gid=1000(romayn) groups=1000(romayn),0(root) [18:15] " [18:16] sharp66, it was not off [18:16] Pici - and how do i boot in recovery console? [18:16] yes...so i myght set one of my machine as "MASTER" and allow other to connect to www folder and database? === sins-- is now known as sins- [18:16] zRomayn: Reboot, and press shift while booting to bring up your GRUB menu, then select it from there. [18:17] Pici - will i log in as root or as the user i created during installation? [18:17] zRomayn: I believe that should log you in as root. [18:17] What file to I put a list of commands I want to execute at startup ? [18:17] like when a user logs in ? [18:17] dpkg is still listing packages I already removed with apt-get, how can I update it? [18:18] salvatore, yes that would be an acceptable solution, be careful about security once you allow remote database connections, be sure to correctly configure your firewall [18:18] Windows 7 is best! [18:18] newbie435645: please do not troll in here. [18:18] Pici - aight, gracias, i'll try that to see if i can put myself in the default groups so my sudo command can work again [18:19] well windows 7 is the best of all windows, at leas compared to vista and xp, but not by far is best than most linux boxes [18:19] steinnem, http://coldfusion-guy.blogspot.com/2011/03/lenovo-thinkpad-t410-wireless.html [18:19] !windows | GridCube [18:19] GridCube: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[18:22] or at the end of the file. [18:22] yes but i'd like to find some in italian if possible :) [18:22] jerware: Er, add it at the end before the exit 0 [18:22] do you know of any linux drivers?

So like check line by line and if there are duplicates remove them... anyone know how i can do this? its a .txt file [18:26] I want to customize the settigns [18:26] *settings [18:26] polah, i thought so too, but did a fresh install to 10.04 and doing the same thing [18:26] oh ok. [18:26] FreezingCold, sorry i have no idea. [18:26] sharp66: Certainly seems like a problem with the router then [18:26] polah, updated firmware and reset to defaults on the tomato router [18:26] I just made a new ubuntu vm with the buildvm tool and it it's getting 404s when I do an apt-get update in the guest === zfefreeasinbeer is now known as zfe [18:27] it's trying to get Packages, but it probably should be trying to get Packages.gz or Packages.bz2 [18:27] fwaokda: do you want to keep the order of the remaining lines? if not there is a sort --unique option [18:27] polah, tried different cable, and on 2 switches that are cascaded out of the tomato, those don't work either [18:27] slart nope it doesnt matter the order [18:27] Slart, where do i do the --unique option? [18:28] Is it safe to remove hplip-data? [18:28] fwaokda: there is also a "uniq" command you might be able to use [18:28] sharp66: Yeah so it's a problem with the router if you've tried a different system and it all works with a regular router, although I couldn't help you solve it. [18:28] Slart, i use these with gedit? [18:29] Fitzsimmons, (only quasi-related) but i wasn't able to solve an issue the other night with 10.04LTS trying to use an apt-cacher-ng repo using KVM. I kept getting 404s as well. Hope you have better luck then I did. [18:29] fwaokda: this should work in a terminal cat yourfile | sort --unique > newfile [18:29] polah, i will keep dicking with it, but the tomato router is being used by about 6 computers and another router with no problems === Mud is now known as Guest97821 === kforbz_ is now known as kforbz [18:30] fwaokda: or even sort --unique yourfile > newfile [18:30] OK, this is odd, but maybe somebody knows. I currently have my Ubuntu LiveCD mounted (inside my normal Gentoo install) and I want to change the default firefox config on the LiveCD. But I'm just in a terminal without gnome. How can I do this?

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [18:31] Slart, sweet! === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [18:31] tsimpson, yes, I am doing that. [18:31] Im trying to remember a command, something like "sudo source /etc/group" [18:31] Slart, thanks a bunch! [18:31] I'm chroot'd in my LiveCD [18:31] jnsl_: What is your goal? [18:31] fwaokda: you're welcome [18:32] have to make sure /etc/group is read [18:32] and dont want to reboot [18:32] jnsl_, "ls -l /etc/group" to check === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [18:33] hi all. i have an openvpn connection that is not connecting (TLS error). I think maybe I have the wrong cert on my server (someone might've changed the remote key??). is there a way i can get it to 'just connect' so i can ssh into this thing? [18:33] Slart, you wouldn't know any way I can add dilimiters to the files contents eh? It's in a wierd format I'm wanting to specify the format of the data (by line) and tell it where to add the delimiters? [18:33] FreezingCold: you don't just chroot into the mounted CD, it's obviously a read-only medium. you have to extract the compressed FS image [18:34] hildegard: No way, as you need to change the server config. Can you connect with ssh to your VPN-server? [18:34] fwaokda: you're drifting into grep/awk/sed land now... and those utilities are very very flexible.. unfortunately I don't really have a nice clean one-liner for you [18:34] fwaokda: but who knows.. perhaps there is a specialized tool out there.. with linux, there usually is =) [18:35] Slart, alright thanks i'll look into those [18:35] fwaokda: paste some sample data, then we'll build a awk one liner for it [18:35] shnuffle: yeah, I am on the server, waiting for a remote system to checkin (I haven't needed it in years), but the log on the server keeps giving me the standard 'TLS key negotiation failed to occur...' [18:35] zykotick9, it's clearly just trying to get the wrong URL [18:36] which makes no sense [18:36] hildegard: hzave you checked if your certs are eventually expired? [18:36] hildegard: so you're on the server but you need to check the client? [18:37] Is there any way to duck into the package manager and just get to the root pass a time when the session starts [18:37] shnuffle: roger, on the server, I need the client to checkin. i did check the certs, they are good for another two years. [18:37] schnuffle, ok so each line is like this... "25166 Akers, David" and I'm wanting something like this... "25166;Akers, David;" Only problem is there might be some with names having spaces like... "25177 Ah You, C.J." [18:38] !root | nuno_nunes [18:38] nuno_nunes: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:38] fwaokda: so you match is something like: [0-9]+ [^,]+, .* [18:39] schnuffle, im not familar with it, i can try it though [18:40] fwaokda: you can but that is only the first part, finding a regexp which describes your log format. The second part would be to print it out [18:43] schuffle: What does the + do in that expression? [18:43] Polah: one or more [18:44] does anyone how to restore my sound it's just randomly stopped working [18:44] schnuffle: Ah thank [18:44] sausagefish: Sure, let me just get out my psychic powers to find out what you've recently done that could break it and what sound system, inputs and outputs you're using. [18:44] Polah, go Karnack go.;-) [18:45] Polah, it was working fine all I change frequently is the output for my speakers and the hdmi output [18:46] * guntbert hands Polah a new crystal ball [18:46] When I try to run a graphical app in chroot I get "No protocol specified/nNo protocol specified/nError: cannot open display: :0.0" [18:46] Hello, guys. I have an HP pavillion dv6000 and my wireless doesn't work. does anyone have any ideas? [18:47] fwaokda: can you paste me some sample lines to pastbin? [18:47] ubuntu somehow hides my pictures on my olympus camera: I had a lot of pics on it before but after connecting the cam all disappeared. df -h still shows the taken space. windows doesn't show them as well. fat file system.

[18:47] !wifi | ramadan_ [18:47] ramadan_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:47] Freejack: you need to set teh DISPLAY variable perhaps. if you are trying to run an app in X as a differnt user. [18:47] Freejack: also you might need to do a 'xhost +localhost' befor you try to run the gui app. [18:47] and the folder was marked read-only [18:48] somehow [18:48] Dr_Willis, how can I check my display settings in my running system? I set export DISPLAY=:0.0 in it [18:48] FreezigCold: or you just have to use gksudo or kdesu. [18:48] I'm not over ssh though [18:48] guntbert: Ah thanks, I've been meaning to get one for a while. Been relying on e-palm reading [18:48] sausagefish: and what sound system are you using? pulse? [18:49] help pls :-( [18:49] fwaokda: This would be the search replace toget to your format: ^([0-9]+ ([^+])+, (.*)$/\1;\2, \3/ [18:49] FreezingCold: how are you connectng tot he session then ? [18:49] zykotick9, something is breaking the whole HTTP stack or something [18:49] yeah no config settings have been changed [18:49] Dr_Willis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [18:49] think it's an intel chipset [18:49] zykotick9, a wget command that works on the host does not work on the guest [18:50] Dr_Willis, I'm editing a LiveCD [18:50] don't worry fixed [18:50] I just restarted the pulseaudio server [18:50] :) [18:50] chow [18:51] sh_sh: In Nautilus press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, or I believe ls -a will show hidden files as well [18:51] FreezingCold, there are so many for the broadcom's that I don't know which to install in the synaptics package manager [18:51] Fitzsimmons, sorry, i don't have any suggestions for you (I've never used buildvm before) [18:51] Polah nope [18:51] I would like to run a script from an ntfs partition. The permissions are -rw------- and I can't seem to change it because of how the drive was mounted. Is there anything I can do?

I don't believe NTFS uses typical octal permissions [18:53] Polah, the drive is auto-mounted when I plug it in. Is there a way to change the way drives are auto-mounted? [18:53] doriad, there's probably something you missed on your /etc/fstab file. Take a look at it. [18:53] fwaokda: and for you to test: cat yourfile | sed 's/^([0-9]+) ([^,]+), (.*)$/\1;\2, \3/' [18:53] doriad: you DONT chown/chmod ntfs/vfat/ :) it has to be done when mounted. [18:53] doriad: theres ways to set it where eveyrthing will be executable.. but thats even more annoying in many ways. [18:53] doriad: Edit /etc/fstab [18:54] hello team [18:54] fwaokda: ooops sed needs backslashes, so: cat yourfile | sed 's/^\([0-9]+\) \([^,]+\), \(.*\)$/\1;\2, \3/' [18:54] Dr_Willis, awesome, running it with sh did the trick [18:55] Polah, /etc/fstab doesn't show this drive (it is an external drive) [18:55] Dr_Willis, I changed export HOME=/root & export LC_ALL=C [18:55] Could that have done it? [18:56] doriad: Oh, I guess you could unmount it and then use mount to remount it then. I don't know how to set up mounting settings for external drives. [18:58] hey, can anyone tell me the info of this channel for xchat? [18:58] Polah: you don't need to unmount it just use remount option: mount -o remount ......... [18:59] schnuffle, how do you make that happen automatically when it is plugged in? [18:59] DocHolliday: sorry, what is your question? [18:59] What do i need to enter in xchat to get here? [19:00] my connection losts after few minutes constantly.. solution is to reconnect useing try icon. but this doesn't happen with other laptop with slackware.. where the problem hides? [19:00] Hi everyone ! :-) [19:00] doriad: thats normally handled by udev. Maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB could help [19:00] DocHolliday, #ubuntu on freenode [19:00] heloo [19:01] i 've got a problem [19:01] !ask | root-jr_pl [19:01] root-jr_pl: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:01] DocHolliday: in the Xchat menu go to Network list and choose Freenode [19:01] schnuffle, is there not a GUI to setup something like this? [19:01] can i switch the gui bootlogo to a text output. while booting..it seems to hang(but the dots move) [19:01] u know every linux has acount more powefull than root ? its called chuck norris [19:02] henk__: please stop that sillyness. Use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [19:02] ok sry [19:02] doriad: nomrally ubuntu automounts external drives. At least it's doing in all my different ubuntu version/derivates I use [19:02] DocHolliday, freenode is on the default xchat network list [19:03] DocHolliday, don't PM me, talk in here.

[19:17] CoolCoder, then you shouldn't be using a 10.4 cd as software source [19:17] "10.04" [19:17] no. that was the cause of my problem i assume [19:17] just run the CD. for checking :-( [19:17] Obfuscation, what is the data?

[19:22] CoolCoder, your problem does not come from your cd but from a ppa you're using [19:22] CoolCoder: try a 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ? [19:22] CoolCoder, the "exaile-devel" ppa has no package for natty [19:22] it would most likely be a good idea to clean out extra sources/ppa's you have enabled :) [19:22] upgrade gives this http://pastebin.com/BN7ihsr7 [19:22] glebihan, you did notice the 10.04 CD is listed there too right (I realize that's not the real issue, but...) [19:23] regarding printer settings, there is an option to preserve job history and files to allow reprinting, but i don't see how to manage how long or how many files are kept [19:23] ljh [19:23] CoolCoder: so... whats the actual issue? Your system is up to date.. You just have some wrong sources/ppa's in your listings.. [19:23] i'm having trouble printing from a machine without resetting the printer periodically, and i wonder if it might have to do with the size of the saved jobs [19:23] "Failed to download repository information Check your Internet connection." when update manager is run [19:23] CoolCoder: use the sources center tool and clean out the extra sources/ppas that are inforrect. [19:23] zykotick9, yes it's listed as it's been inserted and added to the software sources, but that's not the source of the problem, it only provides older versions of the packages [19:23] CoolCoder, try dist-upgrade [19:23] ok [19:24] CoolCoder: you have some bad sources.. looks lilke to me [19:24] Obfuscation, what is the data you trying to burn to a cd? [19:24] not a critical error [19:24] BluesKaj, why dist-upgrade ? it won't do anything more [19:25] Dr_Willis:not a critical error then ok. not an issue.

[19:29] jstoone: run it without add ons and see if it works any better [19:29] glebihan, [19:29] apt-get upgrade installs the latest versions of any out-of-date packages on your system. It never installs a package that is not yet installed. [19:29] hello, i need help with a secondary installation of ubuntu. lucid is currently installed and going to try out natty as secondary. i chose the "alongside" option in natty installer and it installed automatically to an empty partition but included its own /boot dir, how do i properly migrate the kernels in the second install to the main grub bootloader that is already on the lucid install? [19:29] BluesKaj, I know that too.... [19:30] urlin2u that's what it is but my question was, does my usb driver have to only have the ubuntu iso to load or can i have other documents in it, it's not a usb stick that im gonna be using but an external hard drive via USB [19:30] and i suppose remove grub from the second install too...because i imagine it will try to manage itself [19:30] Obfuscation: The only thing I'm using is vimperator.. but I'll try it out (: [19:30] Dylan-sama: in theory.. :) the 2nd ubuntu install should see the first and take over grub and setup menus to boot either one. [19:30] somebody please write me a perl script that deletes the first character if it's a space in a string. [19:30] then why did you ask , glebihan there's a difference that can make a difference for users [19:30] glebihan: '~$ sudo service mysql start; start: Job is already running: mysql.' -- Is this all right? [19:30] Dr_Willis: hmm thats the thing, it's not in the grub boot menu at all :( [19:30] Obfuscation: Isn't there an error.log somewhere? or a crash repport? [19:30] blognewb, have you ever used a usb to install with? [19:30] myrmidette: delete the first space on a line? [19:30] is there any known reason why ubuntu is not showing samba shares which are all public (smbclient -L //server -U user lists them as public) in 11.04? [19:31] BluesKaj, I did not ask. I said it would not do anything [19:31] Obfuscation, do not spam pm me. [19:31] Dr_Willis, only if that space is the first char [19:31] I'm reading through the docs now but I think it would be easier to ask someone experienced [19:31] !pm | Obfuscation [19:31] Obfuscation: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:31] glebihan, nm , go back to your correction trolling [19:31] myrmidette: by regreular expressions rules. i think a space is not a 'cahracter' :) and it should be a rather simple 1 line 'sed' command to do that.. [19:32] bullgard4, yes that means the daemon is already running, if you want to restart it (if you changed some configuration for example) "sudo service mysql restart" [19:32] Dr_Willis, and that sed command is...? [19:32] Dylan-sama, FYI whatever grub you installed most recently will currently "be in control", if you reinstall grub from your original (?lucid) install, it will regain "control" [19:32] after the natty install finished, restarted and all i see for my grub menu is all my lucid kernels [19:32] ok, so what is the point in you PMing me for answers, and me just posting my end into the room, no one gets to benefit from anything [19:32] myrmidette: well.. a google for 'sed remove blank space' just showed --> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/delete-leading-spaces-from-front-of-each-word.html [19:32] urlin2u to boot an os? no [19:32] Dr_Willis: when I enter the address on same PC, wherefrom I share , then I see the share, but not from another PC (also my Android does not see it) [19:33] zykotick9: i haven't lost control yet, i want to boot to the new natty install but can't [19:33] Dylan-sama, are you sure you select to install grub to the MBR then from natty? doesn't sound like you did. In lucid run "sudo update-grub2" and see if it autoadds natty [19:33] blognewb, is the usb a pendrive or a hard drive? [19:33] it didn't have the option, it was one of those seamless "install alongside another install" option [19:34] Uldics: interesting.. ive found samba getting so flakey these last few years i tend to just use ssh/scp when i need to transfer files if samba fails.. you sure theres no firewall rules in the way? My android phone (using astro) seems to access my shares fine. but i tend to use scp clients on it. [19:34] urlin2u hard drive with the ubuntu iso and other files in it, like a typical internal hard drive. WHat will be the .ini file? [19:34] any other good chat servers for linux help? [19:35] dark_knight: you could check askubuntu.com but you have to get some 'points' on it to get into their chat except for read only viewing. :) [19:35] dark_knight, for non-distro specific help you could try ##linux on freenode (this server) [19:35] not sure about firewall, but havent done anything with firewalls, when I lost my shares a week ago [19:35] hi all, got a problem, i'm running ubuntu 11.04 server with gnome desktop via Xvnc (tightvncserver) with xinetd; and after a weekend trying i got this working, i can login as my normal user account, but when i try to update the system or install a new software package its asking me for the "password for ROOT" why is this ? what i'm i doing wrong ? [19:35] Dr_Willis: Uldics: I had the same problem, but then it was a port forwarding problem (: [19:35] ty Dr_Willis [19:35] blognewb, not a good way to try to install, works on occasion fails in others. Do you have a pendrive to use or a cd to burn and a reader? [19:36] what would make thunar start at startup, and ask for a password? if i give it the password, it starts thunar in super user mode. [19:36] Dr_Willis, zykotick9 thanks i [19:36] urlin2u reader? [19:36] urlin2u im trying to look for a blank cd but all seems to be occupied [19:36] All i can say about samba. is its totally messed up. :) My xp/win7/vista box's often dont see each other, or a pc on wireless sees them but cent be seen.. or the linux box's see some. and not others.. or other linux boxs. My $20 nas is normally seen by EVERYTHING.. and for some perverted reason. my BoxeeBox manages to see EVERY share on the network. :) so all i can say is its total-mass-anarchy [19:36] anybody know how to change windows in irssi when you are using securecrt under windows? [19:37] blognewb, can your computer your installing to read=reader a cd, and can you burn one. [19:37] hylian, did you check in your startup applications ? [19:37] zykotick9: AH HA, looks like it may have worked [19:37] should have thought of that [19:37] i thought i saw the installer do its own update-grub [19:37] How do I get Evolution to autocomplete also on addresses I have received mail from, not only those I have sent to? [19:38] jolson: that is also relevant to my interests...i had assumed i needed a contact for anything to autocomplete [19:38] glebihan, yeah, nothing there. [19:39] zykotick9: excellent, it's in the menu now, thanks [19:39] Dr_Willis: I do not need ssh, I need just a simple file share from my Linux box to a Windows box, where ssh would be PITA - non techie user at Windows box [19:39] Dylan-sama, glad to help [19:39] how do you switch between channels using the keyboard on XChat? === yourstruly is now known as erytssiN [19:39] hi all, got a problem, i'm running ubuntu 11.04 server with gnome desktop via Xvnc (tightvncserver) with xinetd; and after a weekend trying i got this working, i can login as my normal user account, but when i try to update the system or install a new software package its asking me for the "password for ROOT" why is this ? what i'm i doing wrong ? [19:40] urlin2u i can burn in this laptop yes but no blank cdr so far [19:40] zykotick9, what would make thunar start at boot and ask for my admin password..? [19:40] Dylan-sama: You might actually need the address to be in your "contacts". It seems Evolution can automatically stor addresses as contacts when you send to them, but not when you receive from them. [19:40] hylian, ? i have no idea [19:40] blognewb, do you have a pendrive, using the hard drive is more than just putting a ISO on it. [19:40] zykotick9, that's what I like about you, always clear and to the point. :) [19:41] I am trying to upgrade but all i get is "Authentication failed"... [19:41] hylian, thanks... i guess ;) [19:41] hylian, is there a thunar file in "~/.cache/sessions" [19:41] can't help with what you don't know :) [19:41] urlin2u pendrive like a usb stick? no [19:42] Uldics: then you fight wiath samba i guess.. i found it easier to just use winscp. even my wife can figure it out. [19:42] hello [19:42] Uldics: on my home lan if i enter the ip/sharename normally it works.. evne if they are not browseable.. if the ip method dont work. sounds like firewall rules to me [19:42] having trouble installing ubuntu on dell m6500, is anyone available to help? [19:43] blognewb, are you sure that the computer will not bot a usb, how old is the compute? [19:43] ok, how can I see if the firewall blocks it? [19:43] boot blognewb [19:43] jstoone: If I have a problem with a program crashing, I usually run it from terminal to find out what terminal will tell me, then run to google, and see what I can find [19:43] Uldics: sudo iptables --list shows any fw rules on linux box's.. as for windows.. i always disable the firewall on windows. [19:44] having trouble installing ubuntu on dell m6500, is anyone available to help? [19:44] Obfuscation: You're probably right. I was going to make a biig project, by disabling each addon/plugin for each crash [19:44] JoshM, what is the problem? [19:44] JoshM: clarify the problem/give more details instead of just repeating.. may be a good idea. [19:45] didnt get a response so reposted. sorry. [19:45] wasnt sure if anyone was listening! [19:45] hey guys where can i find a log on my pc of all incoming connections to my pc [19:45] urlin2u becausae it doesn't have a usb option in the bios [19:46] jstoone: Thats another way to do it. I was just trying to throw something at you that might not take nearly as long. [19:46] urlin2u: i have dell m6500 laptop. trying to isntall ubuntu 11.04. tried x86 and x64, tried CD and USB, get to "preparing to install ubuntu" screen, click "Forward" and it just disabled the buttons and does nothing more. [19:46] blognewb, okay, to be honest using a plop cd to boot a HD to install with is not easy and may fail. Do you even have plop on a cd? [19:46] hi [19:46] blognewb: I thought the same thing, but after restarting witth the USB plugged in, I usually get the option. [19:47] JoshM, how many partitions are on the conputer? [19:47] urlin2u: also booting from USB never got past the "SYSLINUX" header [19:48] Obfuscation k but can it boot from an external hard drive usb with other files in it, instead of a pendrive? if so will the boot.ini file have a different setting [19:48] JoshM, then how did you get to the install option? [19:48] urlin2u: i have 2 SATA drive. one has 2 partitions, windows is on one, other is for data. 2nd drive has 2 partitions, one for VMs, one for this installation of ubuntu. 2nd drive also has unpartitioned space. [19:48] glebihan: Thank you very much for your help. [19:48] Dr_Willis: got lot of lines, but nothing suspicious, maybe: DROP all -- anywhere 192.168.1.255 [19:48] urlin2u: booting from CD gets me to "preparing to install ubuntu" screen. [19:48] bullgard4, you're welcome [19:48] JoshM, how did you load the thumb for install? [19:49] I am trying to upgrade but all i get is "Authentication failed"... what might be the cause? can i override the authentication request? [19:49] urlin2u, used usb_creator.exe from ubuntu 11.04 ISO. [19:49] nicofs: You better tell us what you did exactly in order to upgrade. [19:49] JoshM, boot the cd to the desktop and check that it is going to work ubuntu that is before trying to install. [19:50] urlin2u, not worried about USB boot, cd boot is working "better." [19:50] nicofs: from terminal type sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:50] JoshM, are you familoar with making partitions and installing to them? [19:50] urlin2u, i was able to "try ubuntu" from the cd. [19:50] urlin2u, yes. [19:50] bullgard4, started the update manager and hit upgrade... [19:51] JoshM, if "try ubuntu" is working, did you attempt the INSTALL icon on the desktop? [19:51] yay, a crash. [19:51] urlin2u, yes i did. same results, hangs after clicking forward... [19:51] "the" crash... [19:51] JoshM, install from the dektop, and pre-format the partitions to install to, choose something else when asked where to install. [19:51] nicofs: Normally you cannot overrride the authentication request. [19:51] urlin2u, i never even got the chance to choose installation location/partitions. [19:51] bullgard4, but why should it fail...? [19:52] JoshM, have you checked thr sum of the ISO or cd? [19:52] Uldics: you could flush them all as a temp. test i guess.. i never use any fw rules on my home lan. [19:52] nicofs: Did you indeed try to authenticate and keyed in your password? [19:53] JoshM, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [19:53] nicofs, could you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" ? [19:53] Dr_Willis: How do I do that? [19:53] urlin2u, no but i can...burned 2 CDs thinking maybe something went wrong during burn,no luck. [19:53] Uldics: iptables --flush [19:53] as root of course.. [19:53] bullgard4_, for some reason, i'm not asked - even when i do "sudo -s" in console i am just granted admin rights... [19:53] Uldics: i find samba flakey enough without pointless firewall rules on my internal lan. :) [19:53] JoshM, check the iso, if okay burn the cd at a slow speed, as an image. [19:54] glebihan, give me a second, it's an old 800MHz machine - it just needs to finish pending operations... [19:54] nicofs, oh then run "gksu-properties" and check that authentication mode is set to "sudo" [19:54] urlin2u, checking md5 now. [19:54] hi all, got a problem, i'm running ubuntu 11.04 server with gnome desktop via Xvnc (tightvncserver) with xinetd; and after a weekend trying i got this working, i can login as my normal user account, but when i try to update the system or install a new software package its asking me for the "password for ROOT" why is this ? what i'm i doing wrong ? === Spitfire19_ is now known as Spitfire19 [19:54] JoshM, cool [19:55] nicofs: Oh! That's dangerous. It means that the password is not required in some circumstances. This is evil. You better check that carefully first without involving Update Manager. [19:55] mbertens1, i'm unclear on your actual issue. when does it ask for root password? Can you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" to update the server? [19:56] glebihan, gksu-settings is set to sudo and enable... [19:56] bullgard4, well not that evil, password is not asked but permissions are not granted either [19:57] urlin2u, MD5 is ok. [19:57] glebihan: Hopefully not that evil. But please investigate on that. [19:57] !passwd | glebihan [19:58] JoshM, not sure here the computer will run Ubuntu, unetbootin is option for loading the thumb, preformat it first. [19:58] nicofs, does it work properly if you launch the update manager via "gksu update-manager" ? [19:58] urlin2u, i did, and ran usb_creator, no luck. [19:58] who does my display keep going into standby? I've already disabled going into standby, but after (I'm not sure) 30 minutes or so, there it goes! [19:58] why? [19:58] !password | nicofs [19:58] nicofs: 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 [19:59] Can somebodygive me a command to kill gedit? xkill is not working [19:59] JoshM, if you have partitions open when you try a install t will cause problems as well, [19:59] mbertens1: try give your user password [19:59] killall -9 gedit [19:59] glebihan, i installed updates via update manager earlier... [19:59] urlin2u, what do you mean "open" [19:59] zykotick9: yeah that works fine, the problem is that when there is ask normally for MY password to preform a action, now the "root" password is asked [19:59] thanks [19:59] nicofs: What is your Ubuntu release version? [20:00] JoshM, any partition can be mounted=open, or closed=unmounted like a door. [20:00] nicofs, did I miss something ? Wasn't it with update-manager that you were having troubles ? [20:00] mbertens1, i'm not going to ask why you have a root password. Best of luck. [20:00] pecos: tryed that authentication failed [20:00] urlin2u, i havent done anything specific regarding mounting partitions. just going about install in normal manner. [20:00] zykotick9: he didn't say he had one set though [20:00] mbertens1: why do not use ssh on a server to access ? [20:01] zykotick9: i have not set a root password, or maybe by accident, how do i revert this [20:01] bullgard4_, erm... good question actually - how do i find out? sources.list includes jaunty and karmic... [20:01] glebihan, yes, when upgrading - not updating [20:01] and my system is in urgent need of upgrading... [20:01] pecos: i'm lazy i like a desktop and click at things :-) [20:01] then upgrade :) === ubuntu__ is now known as m1h0 [20:02] Does System Monitor as a default display only processes of the current user? How can I configure System Monitor to show the processes of all users? [20:02] DeadmanIncJS, funny... all i get is "Authentication failed" [20:02] nicofs, well then you could still try using "gksu update-manager -d" [20:02] urlin2u, does installer care what type of partitions i have created? [20:02] use terminal [20:02] JoshM, yes [20:02] urlin2u, e.g. does it prefer to see FAT, NTFS, unpartitioned space, etc [20:03] when I do netstat I get: getnameinfo failed. what can cause this? [20:03] JoshM, ext4 would be the one needed === Mud is now known as Guest22870 [20:03] glebihan, on it - but starting that thing alone takes ages [20:03] Hey guys. I'm a developer and I like to have all the development-related packages installed for packages I install. I guess I am spoiled by Gentoo where any library you install means that the headers, libs, docs, etc.. are installed as well. Is there a way to auto-install -devel, -headers, .. packages when installing the runtime? [20:03] JoshM, do you know the partition amount limitations on a single HD? [20:03] urlin2u, but even with unpartitioned space, you would expect the isntaller to "know what to do" or allow me to decide how to partition the drive during install, right? [20:04] urlin2u, as in # of partitions? [20:04] mbertens1: can you have physical access to the server to try to reset root password [20:04] nicofs: '~$ lsb_release -a' [20:04] JoshM, take a screen shot of gparted looking at that hd you want to install to and imagebin it. [20:05] mbertens1: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo (towards the bottom) [20:05] gparted wont start from within installer > system settings. i have disk utility open. [20:05] pecos: yeah i did it already, google is very handy if it find the right stuff :-) [20:05] JoshM, yes# of partitons. [20:05] bullgard4_, hang on - will do that as soon as cpu is <100% [20:05] guntbert: thanks but i got it [20:05] glebihan, "Authentication failed" [20:06] as for my screen going into standby, could it be because I enabled laptop_mode? [20:06] mbertens1: ok, is your sudo question solved now? [20:06] guntbert, thanks [20:06] urlin2u, attempting to alter partition table via disk utility gives me "error deleting partition" and then "daemon is inhibited" [20:06] mbertens1: strongly suggest to NOT use any kind of DE and vnc on a server [20:06] bullgard4_, 9.10 [20:06] urlin2u, going to try to boot to gparted... [20:06] do i need to reboot the server ? [20:06] zykotick9: no problem :) [20:06] nicofs, at what stage does it show you the message ? when typing the password ? [20:07] JoshM, gparted is on the install cd [20:07] pecos: why not ? [20:07] mbertens1: security related [20:07] glebihan, i never have to type any pw... i hit the "distribution upgrade available" button thing, it starts to download 2 files and then error... [20:07] urlin2u, trying... [20:07] i imagine it depends on where/how the server is being used. mbertens1 [20:08] pecos, you're probably wasting your breath - well, fingers really ;) [20:08] nicofs, even when using gksu, you're not prompted for the password ? [20:08] glebihan, no, neither when i enter "sudo" in console... [20:08] hi. my hdd sdb just changed its name to sdd because of two usb hdds. is this a bug? is this a big problem? thanks. [20:08] hi [20:08] terminal open failed: terminal does not support clear [20:08] wtf? [20:08] pecos: it runs via ssh only via the xinetd super server and later i will add ssl to it, still a problem ? [20:09] shinsuke: Not a bug. [20:09] shinsuke: usb hard drives can change ' /dev/sdX' entries dependind on how the system boots... this is why normally you use UUID's to mount them/tell them apart [20:09] when i try attach tmux on shell using lilyterm, i get "terminal open failed: terminal does not support clear". can some one help me? [20:09] whats liliterm? [20:09] nicofs: Ok. It seems that your sources.list is not okay. It should list only one distribution release. -- Probably there is something else out of order in your configuration. What does '~$ sudo apt-get update' return? [20:09] Dr_Willis, LABELs are so much easier then UUIDs [20:09] urlin2u, does installer care what mode SATA controller is in? currently it is in AHCI but i've also tried ATA and RAID, no luck. [20:09] zykotick9: yep. but windows tends to not set them often... [20:09] Dr_Willis, terminal emulator [20:09] shinsuke: YOu can find the UUID with the command "blkid" [20:10] Dr_Willis, so i just need mount the usb hdds manually by uuid and my problem is solved? [20:10] bullgard4_, as expected that some sources failed to download... [20:10] Dr_Willis, on gnome terminal its ok, but it suck [20:10] Dr_Willis, windows supports UUIDs... didn't know that. [20:10] kon check/set its terminal emulation options perhaps.. === kon is now known as anon [20:10] JoshM, lets stick to the task the picture of gparted, if you change the read in bios windows will not boot. [20:10] zykotick9: yep. differnt format for the # = but it has them [20:10] nicofs: But it did not complain about your password? [20:10] mbertens1: i dont' know, i always use ssh and only from my private network to manage server [20:10] urlin2u, ok just curious, in gparted now. [20:11] JoshM, is the bios set to sata, it needs to be where it was originally [20:11] nicofs, could you pastebin your /etc/sudoers file ? [20:11] Dr_Willis: Seems, that the flush helped ... but there was nothing changed at the time when samba shares disappeared ... strange [20:11] bullgard4_, how can it, i'm never prompted for any... [20:11] urlin2u, bios is in AHCI, windows boots fine.\ [20:11] JoshM, cool [20:12] i want to find index.php, how do i search for it ?:D [20:12] locate [20:12] glebihan, on the way - will take a second, firefox is really slow on 800mhz [20:12] JoshM, there is a drop down in top right corner to choose the HD to look at, do you need the imagebin link? [20:13] nicofs: Normally Uuntu asks you for a password if you prefix a command line command with 'sudo'. If Ubuntu does not, then you have disabled this necessity, and that is dangerous. [20:13] urlin2u, no, working on it... [20:13] bullgard4_, i know what it normally does... but how can i re-enable that security feature...?!? [20:14] nicofs, maybe we'll be able to correct that in your sudoers file [20:14] pecos: sorry, but you give advice because you things that way, nice but i like to have a more clear explanation and reason why i should not do this, security leaks and so on, but at this time i'm not aware of those, my lan is behind 2 firewalls so every thing is more than secure here, and currently there is no route from the outside in [20:15] glebihan, as i said... coming up ^^ [20:15] urlin2u, does installe care if disk is basic or dynamic? [20:16] JoshM, yes, no dynamic. [20:16] nicofs, I'm just trying not to fall asleep while waiting ;) [20:16] Simple question ;) I want the location text box to be permanent in Nautilus. Any suggestions? [20:16] mbertens1: so if you have set the root password have you any issue with it...? [20:16] nicofs: Please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:16] I'd like to sync my mysql data, but you have to be root to write to the data. How can I sync it between two ubuntu computers? [20:17] computerx, you can do that with gconf-editor [20:17] urlin2u, disc i want to use is currenyl dynamic. i will have to repartition it then. i'd like to make my one windows partition and leave the rest unpartitioned and create new partitions during install. will this be a problem? [20:17] computerx: theres a gconf settng to make the address bar always show. the ubuntu-tweak tool has a check box for it also [20:17] I need a way to limit the download rate of youtube videos, I'd prefer to be able to limit them in the browser straight from the website, but from my searches I don't think it's possible without capping the entire machines bandwidth.. looked at youtube-dl.py, but it doesn't provide any options to cap speeds either. Anyone have any ideas? [20:17] Does System Monitor as a default display only processes of the current user? How can I configure System Monitor to show the processes of all users? [20:17] glebihan, that isn't even close to an answer. computerx [20:17] JoshM, was just trying to see if the partitioning was gpt [20:17] I [20:17] Real quick question. How many of you actually looked into getting a real Ocelot? Fricking codenames. [20:18] urlin2u, should it be GPT or MBR [20:18] glebihan, Dr_Willis: ty so much. I found it and fixed it [20:18] JoshM, I know nothing in a other then mbr partitioning [20:18] Daft though it sounds, that bar drives me nuts [20:18] vbgunz__: im waiting for 'Perverted Platypus' [20:18] urlin2u, so mbr then? [20:18] pecos: yes security leak, and thats a well known one, but anyway i'm not here fight, but to solve my problem [20:18] Dr_Willis, LOL I almost spat my coffee over the desk [20:18] computerx, what was it? I wanted to see an actual answer. [20:18] JoshM, I know nothing about changing eithier [20:18] Dr_Willis you are, missing something? [20:19] computerx, check the "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry" option [20:19] zykotick9, was looking for the right key... [20:19] computerx, you're welcome [20:19] zykotick9, "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry" option [20:19] anyone good with minitube upgrade? [20:19] glebihan, thanks [20:19] urlin2u, so you cant recommend which i should choose, then? im going to clear all partitions from the drive and start fresh [20:19] zykotick9, you're welcome [20:19] zykotick9, I ran gconf-editor from the terminal, clicked apps, nautilus, preferences and ticked always_use_location_entry [20:19] I really think its time ubuntu outgrew the animal naming scheme and just went with version #'s.. :) but then we wont have the neat themed wallpapers. [20:19] JoshM, I can't advise when I don't know. [20:19] computerx, thanks glebihan shared it [20:19] urlin2u, got it. [20:20] pecos zykotick9 Dr_Willis: rebooted the server still have the problem that the root password is being asked instead of my password :-( [20:20] Yeah, I need to work on my typing speed [20:20] JoshM, not sure it is as easy as just clearing all the partitions make sure you do.;-) [20:20] glebihan, http://pastebin.com/K3cgMNRA [20:21] glebihan, from looking at it, i guess i should comment the last 2 lines out... [20:21] Dr_Willis, yeah , 11.10 should be just 11.10 :) [20:21] nicofs, no don't you won't be able to use sudo anymore [20:22] urlin2u, doing it now...going w/MBR [20:22] nicofs, what you have to do is check that your user is in the sudo group [20:22] glebihan, hmmm... i still want to use that - but preferably with the need to enter my pw^^ [20:22] Sooo, earlier today I started up, logged in and all the windows lost their title bar and borders and were shoved to the far-left (aka non-visible space due to my monitor size mis-match). I eventually fixed it by deleting half my profile. Was there a better way to go about this, if it happens again? [20:22] nicofs, yes we will get there [20:23] glebihan, admin group to use sudo [20:23] Question - my laptop, beginning today, won't let me log in. it returns no errors, looks like it's logging in, and comes right back to the login screen. Any ideas? [20:23] glebihan, how do i check what group my user is in? [20:23] nicofs, "groups" in a terminal [20:23] JoshM, is the main disc dynamic as well? [20:24] nicofs, once you've made sure you're in the sudo group, I'll give you my version of the sudoers file, which should work fine [20:24] glebihan, "admin" group to use sudo [20:24] nicofs, system->administration->user and groups [20:24] Dr_Willis: that'll probably put Ubuntu on the map bigtime [20:24] zykotick9, glebihan user is not in sudo group... [20:24] oh, nevermind. a quick terminal login looks like my hdd is 100% full. Guess I didnt realize how big that image was I uploaded from that windows box. [20:25] zykotick9, actually both work with some differences, and I think that group sudo gives more privilzgies [20:25] nicofs, that's correct - you need to be in the "admin" group to use sudo (on ubuntu) [20:25] zykotick9, not in there either [20:25] glebihan, are you coming from a debian background? [20:25] zykotick9, nope [20:25] roasted, you know how to get in right? [20:26] glebihan, asking because it uses the "sudo" group and not "admin" [20:26] Hi [20:26] Is there a source for the JDK? [20:26] urlin2u, I'm already good to go. :) [20:26] zykotick9, well ubuntu uses both afaik [20:26] roasted, figured you were. ;-) [20:26] urlin2u, a quick terminal login, df, 100% space, rm -rf an unnecessary and HUGE file, back to 19% usage. reboot, done deal. already good :) [20:26] just tell me how i get my user into either^^ [20:26] glebihan: no, the sudo group has no members [20:27] guntbert, zykotick9 then I have something weird here... [20:27] urlin2u, yes but ubuntu shouldnt pay it any mind...right? [20:27] anyone who knows how to add ppa and update minitube? [20:27] nicofs, are you in the users and groups tool [20:27] ? [20:28] i try to install wine, or anything related to wine, and it says to check my internet connection. but im pinging a site and there are no packages dropped [20:28] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/winbind_3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.4_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] [20:28] JoshM, not sure that is why I suggest getting solid info rather then pecking at the dynamic ob the second HD, I don't think removing the partitions will work alone. [20:28] I have intel graphic card, how to check which driver version is installed? [20:28] glebihan, i'd love to - but i don't have that menu item... [20:28] is it a problem on the ubuntu end? [20:28] could install it though... [20:28] ob=on JoshM [20:28] nicofs, then try launching "users-admin" [20:29] urlin2u, understood. [20:29] What happens if I remove Ubuntu desktop? [20:30] nicofs, another way is to edit the /etc/group file manually [20:30] FreezingCold: nothing, it is only a meta-package to pull in all needed packages [20:30] Thank you! [20:30] I was worried about removing it at first [20:30] guntbert, zykotick9 ok was mislead by the sudoers file... I'm indeed in the admin group and not the sudo one... [20:31] FreezingCold: although it could be useful when upgrading your system [20:31] I have intel graphic card, how to check which driver version is installed? [20:31] glebihan: :) [20:31] I won't be upgrading this, I'm making a LiveCD for myself [20:31] glebihan, ok - what to add where? username to "adm:*:4:"? [20:32] FreezingCold: and why do you want to remove it anyway? [20:32] nicofs, add your username at the of the line starting by admin (not adm) [20:32] guntbert, I'm cleaning out all the unneeded packages for my CD [20:32] nicofs, from a terminal "sudo usermod -aG admin YOURUSERNAME" [20:32] at the *end* [20:32] glebihan, i don't think editing groups or passwd is a great idea [20:32] FreezingCold: but this one is really tiny [20:33] guntbert, I know but there are some packages that I want to remove that force me to remove Ubuntu-desktop [20:33] BOBobss [20:33] !info ubuntu-desktop | FreezingCold [20:33] FreezingCold: ubuntu-desktop (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.220 (natty), package size 3 kB, installed size 60 kB [20:33] nicofs, use zykotick9's command instead [20:33] FreezingCold: in that case go ahead and no worries [20:33] zykotick9, "group "admin" does not exist" [20:33] glebihan, I believe editing either requires visudo [20:33] guntbert, any ideas on what kind of stuff I should remove? [20:34] Any big space savers? [20:34] FreezingCold: sorry, no [20:34] I killed Ubuntu-docs and openoffice already [20:34] FreezingCold, you know of the minimal cd as well? [20:34] nicofs, are you sure you are using ubuntu? "grep admin /etc/group" [20:34] urlin2u, yeah, but it has gnome removed correct? [20:34] I want to keep that [20:34] zykotick9, I've edited those files more than once with vi without consequences... was I lucky ? [20:35] FreezingCold, only about 12 mib, it s a net install. [20:35] i wrote a txt file in gedit, and it has 140 lines, when i take that file and move it onto windows it is all one line. how can i fix this? [20:35] glebihan, ? i'm not sure about the details. I've done the same. [20:35] urlin2u, oh, I don't want a netinstall [20:35] zykotick9, no result [20:35] This is for managing OpenPGP keys in a safe place :) [20:35] glebihan: *very* lucky [20:35] how can i view my recent installs? [20:35] nicofs, that's normal, now you should be in the admin group [20:35] FreezingCold, cool , just making sure you know of easier options. [20:36] guntbert, could you detail on that ? [20:36] glebihan, good luck helping nicofs if they don't have an admin group. I'm not touching this issue anymore. [20:36] Yeah, what I'm doing is kinda unneeded I know ;) [20:36] Hi there :) [20:36] czz, how did you install? [20:36] fwaokda: windows wants a cr and lf at the end of each line.. linux/unix only needs one.. theres some text2dos or similer commands that can 'fix' it.. [20:36] glebihan: any error in the sudoers file will prevent you from being able to sudo, so .... [20:36] urlin2u, aptitude [20:37] fwaokda: may be dos2unix or unix2dos commands.. been ages since ive had to mess withit. [20:37] guntbert, that's not a matter of being lucky, it's a matter of being careful... [20:37] Dr_Willis, for windows or ubuntu? [20:37] zykotick9, if it comforts you: it's not bad if i wreck this thing^^ [20:37] nicofs, can you check if you're in the admin group now ? [20:37] Dr_Willis, i believe the package(s) have been renamed... i don't remember the correct name though. fwaokda [20:37] fwaokda: yes.. :) i imgine its been ported to windows some how.. and its in linux. [20:38] glebihan: yes, so use visudo (that command checks the file for sanity before writing it to disk) [20:38] fwaokda: theres prob. a dozen tools to convert the things. [20:38] Dr_Willis, well i just need one ;P [20:38] glebihan, i am not. there is no group "admin" [20:38] Dr_Willis, toofrodos or something? [20:38] fwaokda: so you need to decide what os you want to do the converting in...

[20:40] that word sounds like something id order at tocobell :) [20:40] glebihan: ok, maybe I overreacted :) - sorry [20:40] how do i put windows 2000 on a flash drive with linux [20:40] Dr_Willis, how can I determine that? [20:40] ramadan_: lspci command output is a good place to start. [20:40] tbruff13: may not be doable.. figure how it it can even work first perhaps. [20:40] tbruff13: and if theres windows tools to do it.. try them in wine [20:41] #msg nickserv info Pyprokid [20:41] guntbert, no problem, I'll still take the advice about visudo when editing the sudoers file [20:41] Dr_Willis: will unetbootin work [20:41] tbruff13: i doubt it.. windows is picky.. [20:41] tbruff13: ask in #windows perhaps. [20:42] nicofs, then I guess you should create the admin group (with the addgroup command) but it's really weird that it's not there [20:42] thanks guys unix2dos worked [20:42] glebihan, the whole system is weird... if i could I'd just install a new system.. but i have to make do with what's there... [20:42] .sk [20:43] Dr_Willis, no luck with lspci. It doesn't show any info for wireless, only wired. The wireless worked perfectly under Ubuntu 10... [20:43] Dr_Willis: what network is windows on freenode [20:43] tbruff13, ##windows [20:44] nicofs, well then... let's go and try "sudo addgroup admin" and then "sudo usermod -aG admin YOURUSERNAME" again [20:44] ##windows === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [20:44] urlin2u, what does the img at bottom of screen in first part of install mean? keyboard=dude_in_circle [20:44] glebihan, ok. done.

[20:49] I'm not very good at explaining :/ [20:50] guntbert, 10.10 to 11.04 [20:50] KyleHughes, grub terminally like thing lol, what is your final goal here. [20:50] lizbeth: and what do you get when you boot? [20:51] To boot into something that lets me install Ubuntu [20:51] lyrae apt-get update then apt-get install xD [20:51] Dr_Willis; yeah, that might be it [20:51] guntbert, if I boot graphically I see the session manager then it dies after I login. [20:51] or upgrade [20:51] KyleHughes, how about a cd [20:51] silverarrow: i had to upgrade the tools on my phone. :) about all i recall needing to do. their forume/updates posted fixing changes youtuvbe did. [20:51] hey, is there some way to launch the default mail client from the cmd line? [20:51] guntbert, as recovery root I can start desktop normally with startx. But just as root. [20:51] I'm booting from the iso i got from the website [20:51] it takes me into that grub thing [20:51] I don't know what to do from there on [20:51] Dr_willis, still, I have trouble upgrading though, can that possible help? [20:52] lizbeth: err.. You normally DONT run X as root. [20:52] silverarrow: look for a updated verison in a PPA perhaps. [20:52] lyle, "evolution" maybe? [20:52] Hi I'm facing a peculiar problem on my Dell Inspiron 1525, Maverick Meerkat. For the last 2 days syslog has been filling up my hard disk with logs which read: [74774.234615] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x000000. I'm baffled why this is occurring. Can anybody help? [20:52] Dr_Willis, i know. [20:52] lizbeth: can you try as another user - running X as root *may* give you exactly these problems [20:52] zykotick9: nah, that just launches evolution, i want to launch whatever is set as default [20:52] KyleHughes, decribe what you see on booting the cd, and any other installs on the computer like operating systems. [20:52] Dr_Willis, i should, but I have trouble with ppa [20:52] =D ECHO $EMAIL [20:52] echo $MAIL [20:52] I'll do my best [20:52] i dont remember [20:52] Hang on [20:52] felixdm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:53] guntbert, startx doesn't work with any other user but root. [20:53] lyle, oh i gotcha. Sorry off the top of my head i don't remember how. [20:53] silverarrow: every ppa? that would be weird... [20:53] Dr_Willis, I'm not yet best friends with terminal window [20:53] glebihan, ok. sudoers edited [20:53] silverarrow: time to spend time learning bash and the cli and stop atching youtube. :) === Alien_Freak is now known as csgeek === Vicky is now known as Guest21933 [20:53] Dr_Willis: I know of a good PDF that you could use to learn the command line. [20:53] Dr_Willis, probably spot on lol [20:54] urlin2u, cant even get "try ubuntu" to work now. is x64 supported on my system? [20:54] nicofs, ok then you *should* be good, try the update manager again [20:54] Is there any command to reconfigure x server? [20:54] rypervenche: i tend to just point people to delicious.com and check the bash and tutorial tags. :) [20:54] felixdm: i don't see anything in my env [20:54] urlin2u, ubuntu x64 that is [20:54] lizbeth: try to add another user from the command line (not in recovery mode) and see if that user can login graphically [20:54] Oops, sent that to the wrong person. [20:54] guntbert, which is the command? [20:54] MAIL COMMAND [20:55] JoshM, not sure is it 64 bit, and have you confirmed what you have done is feasible? [20:55] silverarrow: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php Click on "Download it here" [20:55] Dr_willis, I fiddled with ppa and a couple of directions I found googelig, but it didn't work upgrading minitube [20:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/672717/ <---- Is as close as I can get [20:55] urlin2u, weird, install window was nonresponsive, closed it, waited, waited, waited, now im in "try ubuntu" mode [20:55] lyle, you could try "gnome-open mailto:" but i doubt that's really what you want - that opens a new compose email [20:55] urlin2u, what would you like to see? [20:55] KyleHughes, did you have a Linux install you removed? [20:55] Nope [20:56] rypervenche, thanks ! I really like that [20:56] zykotick9: that's definitely a step in the right direction [20:56] glebihan, authentication failed [20:56] Probably should say I'm doing what the wiki says about dual booting with OS X [20:56] with rEFIt and what-not [20:56] lizbeth: sudo adduser testuser (after having switched to a virtual terminal with ctrl+alt+F2 [20:56] but when i boot from the disk i just get that [20:57] JoshM, it seems your just acting without knowing what your doing, all I'm trying to say is don't do that gpt to mbr with 2 discs as dynamics is a geek effort, if possible to even make 1 mbr. [20:57] KyleHughes, I know nothing in this area always mention this sort of stuu. [20:58] stuff* [20:58] Is there an end to that sentance :S [20:58] What? :S [20:58] hi all [20:58] i need a little help [20:59] So anyone else have a clue? :) [20:59] urlin2u, im not "acting without knowledge" i expected the install to work w/out me having to even worry about this stuff but apparently not... [20:59] nicofs, hum [20:59] KyleHughes, when your installing to a apple always mention that first, not everybody knows the process. [20:59] lizbeth: sorry, I have to leave - Good luck :-) [20:59] glebihan, i'm still not prompted for any pw... [20:59] urlin2u, im not a newb. [20:59] glebihan, i'll restart, maybe that helps [20:59] On ubuntu, what do i do to make makefiles? [20:59] The process is: [21:00] nicofs, cannot hurt anyway... [21:00] How can I completely remove all removed packages? [21:00] install rEFIt (thing which lets you use MBR), setup partition with boot camp, boot to the disk [21:00] That's it [21:00] JoshM, dynamic setups are rather unusual, if you expected a just plug and play install your acting without knowing, don't take that personally. [21:00] then it's the same as with other PCs [21:01] how do you reset the keyboard preferences (delay/speed, as in system->preferences->keyboard) to default values? [21:01] can someone explain to me why in the know menvironment i have one PATH environment (different then that in /etc/environment) - where can i find out who set it up and how to remove the override? [21:01] moved my ubuntu (current version) computer with nvidia hdmi card to my tv in the basement, (nvidia settings and ubuntu both say the tv is 720p native but it's really 1080i or p can't remember. Anyway 720p works fine, when I switch to 1080 it's all blurry, works fine upstairs on a different tv any ideas? [21:01] urlin2u, sorry, i havent had this issue w/installing ubuntu before, and certainly not w/installing windows. as it is now, i have an empty drive formatted w/MBR, no partitions - starting fresh. [21:01] KyleHughes, you did not mention that until I had to force it out of you. [21:01] i can override it for the console eaily enough - but how do i do the same for the gnome shell? [21:01] whats the command to empty the Downloads folder [21:02] You didn't force it out of me at all :| I said "probably should mention" [21:02] JoshM, have you ever had a dynamic set up before. [21:02] So I said it of my own accord >_> [21:02] bsmith093, do you mean the APT download folder or the regular /home/USERNAME/Downloads? [21:02] glebihan, nothing changed [21:02] KyleHughes, my point is important info from the get go. [21:02] regular [21:02] So you can't help me? [21:02] urlin2u, no. and the disk is back to basic now. [21:02] urlin2u, about to try install again. [21:02] nicofs, you rebooted already ? [21:03] glebihan, yes - the only thing fast about that machine [21:03] bsmith093, there isn't a specific command for that, use rm in terminal or the GUI File browser of your choice (nautilus for example) [21:03] JoshM, okay then the past installs and your success have nothing to do with this one chill out get the correct info and enjoy. [21:03] urlin2u, im attempting install from within "try ubuntu" [21:03] nicofs, and still no password prompt and same authentication error ? [21:03] zykotick9: so whats the rm command to empty a folderr without deleteling it [21:03] glebihan, yes [21:03] urlin2u, im chill, just frustrated, thats all. pls hold... [21:04] nicofs, is there anything else in the error message ? [21:04] I'm setting up a new VPS in 10.04 LTS... can/should I set it up under git version control? [21:04] bsmith093, cd into it first - "cd ~/Downloads" then run "rm *" [BE CAREFUL!!!] [21:04] On 11.04 and attempting to install nvidia-96 -- this forces xorg to be removed. Bug? [21:04] zykotick9: thanks done [21:05] JoshM, I can omly help by saying get the right info, do you realize this? I'm quite sure that a dynamic to gpt is more than remving [artitkons, and not even sure about running it alongside the main dynamic. [21:05] glebihan, "Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server" [21:05] hi [21:05] hey, i think my wireless config is set to manual or something, i can join my network but can't ping the router... thoughts/suggestions? [21:05] i didn't know there was an ubuntu chat lol [21:05] what would/should I put under git... etc? [21:05] ;) [21:06] mister2: run "route" -- does it hang? [21:06] urlin2u, ok. i came here for the right info but w/e. i appreciate your help. [21:06] moved my ubuntu (current version) computer with nvidia hdmi card to my tv in the basement, (nvidia settings and ubuntu both say the tv is 720p native but it's really 1080i or p can't remember. Anyway 720p works fine, when I switch to 1080 it's all blurry, works fine upstairs on a different tv any ideas? [21:06] anyone help - my gnome shell path is different then that in /etc/environment - and i have no idea where it got ruined [21:06] x_: TV doesn't support 1080p. [21:06] x_, sounds like the TV is actually 720p to me [21:07] its not, my 360 works fine in 1080p [21:07] err i [21:07] Is there a way to prevent a specific program from using a GTK theme ? I'm on Natty. === andrewbird_ is now known as yup [21:08] x_: the xb360 will "gracefully" fallback on 720p if it cannot "accurately" do 1080p. [21:08] Silently. [21:08] x_, nvidia-settings / ubuntu say otherwise. Good luck. [21:08] JoshM, as far all your perils here 2 dynamic discs probably and converting the web, may be your better choice. On line now are many power users none have said a word. [21:08] indora: it did for a moment, but route finished working and i seem to have irc while on wireless right now... [21:08] Whats up with buttons in the taskbar that are disabled and I can never restore the window? [21:09] nicofs, did you try running update-manager from the command-line to see if you could get some more detailed error messages ? [21:09] im so confusednow. [21:09] x_: your screen isn't 1080p. [21:09] Hello, I'm attempting to do an ubuntu-minimal install on my eeepc and it's not recognizing my network card [21:09] hrm. [21:09] indrora: it did for a moment, but route finished working and i seem to have irc while on wireless right now... [21:10] An ethernet controller shows up under lspci, but not under lsmod or ifconfig [21:10] indrora: and my firefox isn't working... [21:10] mister2: Not Your Box then. [21:10] I'm attempting to do this from the Hardy Heron minimal [21:10] ionosphre, can you hard plug the net? [21:10] yes [21:10] and it is [21:10] indrora: could it be my dns configuration? [21:11] ionosphre, hardy is end of life. [21:11] which actually leads to another question of mine [21:11] There is a specially built kernel for the eeepc [21:11] mister2: Probably. [21:11] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. [21:12] but it appears to have stopped development after jaunty [21:12] indrora: k thanks, i'll look into it [21:12] indrora, so maybe your right but why does my 360 say it's 1080i then, just a mis detection ? [21:12] Hi [21:12] ionosphre, most (probably all) the eee specific stuff has been in mainline kernel for a while! [21:12] x_: the xbox will lie. [21:12] Hello. Does someone know how to reconfigure x-server? [21:12] I would like to operate the keys with the keyboard wireless media desktop [21:13] So should I instead do a more recent LTS minimal install? [21:13] #foxycart [21:13] indrora, I guess im just stupid I thought this was a 1080 tv when I bought it. [21:13] ionosphre, only if you want a more current (security supported system) [21:13] ionosphre, yes lucid [21:13] I connected everything and used the KeyTouch program to configure the keys [21:14] hi, i'm having problems with my sound. in my sound properties, under hardware, there are no associated devices. can someone help? [21:14] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 [21:14] I found this wiki page at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyTouch [21:14] x_: Some devices are poorly marked. [21:14] perfect guys, thanks [21:14] Can anyone tell me if doing an apt-get install nvidia-96 will cause 11.04 to die/ [21:15] from the back of the keyboard you can see that this is the model Media Wireless Desktop (Y-RAC66) while on the wiki, including keyboards is supported Media Wireless Desktop (Y-RAE68) [21:15] I can't unmount my filesystem! [21:15] umount: /home/family/livecdtmp/edit/dev: device is busy. [21:15] indrora, yea, it says max resolution 1366 by something so you are right, Guess I was in too big of a hurry when I bought it. [21:15] nicofs, are you still there ? [21:15] glebihan, as soon as i can, i will... but i guess i just wrecked the system... [21:16] nicofs, what happened ? [21:16] I selected it from keytouch, and not all the keys worked === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [21:16] hi, i'm having problems with my sound. in my sound properties, under hardware, there are no associated devices. can someone help? [21:16] If I want to change the default permissions for new files in a directory, is the recommended way to set a umask with ACL or is there a better, ubuntu recommended way? [21:16] glebihan, gksudo update-manager doesn't work [21:17] nicofs, could you try do-release-upgrade from terminal and tell me what is says ? [21:17] but following the keytouch editor manual, I opened Keytouch Editor to make the keyboard supported [21:17] glebihan, but i have a backup from when we started, so if i can't get this thing working, i'll just put that back up... [21:17] glebihan, give me a few minutes - my work just got inbetween... [21:18] nicofs, no problem [21:18] hello is there a chroot help channe; === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:19] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 [21:19] The nice thing is that keytouch editor recognizes perfectly all the keys on the keyboard and and suggests the default and right actions for each key [21:19] UbuN2, I don't think there's a specific channel for that but you might get help here. Also have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [21:19] UbuN2, I see none in the channel lists [21:19] i tried there glebihan [21:20] just cant get display to work [21:20] UbuN2, any info of cause woild help. [21:20] would [21:20] UbuN2: a chroot help channel would be a little.. odd.. chroot is just a tool. clarify what you are trying to do exactly [21:21] hi, i'm having problems with my sound. in my sound properties, under hardware, there are no associated devices. can someone help? [21:21] hello? [21:21] Jello! [21:21] No protocol specified cannot open display [21:21] blumaa, we see your question [21:21] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 === matt_ is now known as Guest90180 [21:21] i get this when i try and do gnome-session [21:21] !repeat | lizbeth [21:21] lizbeth: 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/ === speed_linux is now known as speedrunnerg55 [21:22] is evolution broken after update? [21:22] so... does that mean nobody has any ideas? [21:22] added to the list all keys I saved the keyboard file called labtec_mwd_yrac66_kbd. At this point I open keytouch again to select the new keyboard introduced in the database. I choose it and try to set the keys [21:22] the thing is that i have a dual boot and in windows the sound works fine.... [21:22] UbuN2: You might want to summarize what you are trying to accomplish. and your situation. [21:23] !sound [21:23] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [21:23] im trying to run gnome in chroot enviroment [21:23] UbuN2, why? [21:23] UbuN2: and why are you trying to do this? [21:23] any help with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/672729/ [21:23] for learning purposes [21:23] You mean run 'X' in a chroot env. :) You will need to set up /dev/ and other things befor you chroot i imagine.. [21:23] as the first test I set the mail key (but remember I tried other keys), choosing the program to use and the field is filled with evolution - component = mail [21:24] hey, how do i change the broadcast address of a wireless connection? [21:24] yes i have setup up my fstab [21:24] fstab? what does fstab have to do with it UbuN2 [21:24] Dr_Willis, well, quite a lot - it's one element to chrooting [21:25] ubottu, the thing is that I have no idea which one of those to do [21:25] all my procs are set but for somereason display wont start [21:25] blumaa, ubottu isn't a real person - it's a bot [21:25] glebihan, this might actually take a moment... [21:25] zykotick9 be nice if he was a bit more detailed.. but if hes just learning.. i guess he can go do some reading. :) [21:25] ah [21:26] nicofs, ok I may be there anymore when you come back then [21:26] And then I press Ok or Apply, but in both cases if I press the key, the computer goes into standby (and of course then asks me the password to unlock it), instead of opening evolution. Even if I fill out the field only with the string 'evolution' the same thing happens [21:26] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 [21:26] to get X going in a chroot - i imagine you have to set up /dev/ in the chroot also -> mount --rbind /dev /mnt/chroot/dev (for one thing) [21:26] nicofs, just to summarize, I think you have 2 distinct problems (the sudo one and the upgrade) [21:26] and /proc/ perhaps? been ages.. [21:27] nicofs, some reading I've done suggest that you try to run "gpg" as your normal user for the upgrade problem (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/78673) [21:27] Ubuntu bug 78673 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "edgy->feisty dist-upgrade only works if ~/.gnupg file is there" [High,Fix released] [21:27] nicofs, meant I may *not* be there anymore [21:27] Dr_Willis, my chroot mounts http://paste.ubuntu.com/672731/ [21:27] nicofs, anyway, hope you get to solve those problems [21:28] hey, how do i change the broadcast address of a wireless connection? [21:28] glebihan, the gpg thing was what i tried first... [21:28] Why with keytouch editor is the keyboard recognized and with keytouch not? How can I find a solution? [21:28] nicofs, ok... [21:28] glebihan, thanks for all your help - maybe i'll write to you 2morrow... [21:29] ok Dr_Willis [21:29] i will carry on [21:29] nicofs, you're welcome and I'll be there tomorrow [21:29] UbuN2: cant say that ive ever needed to chroot a user so that they run the Desktop in a chrooted enviroment.. a bit overkill id say. [21:30] yeah but ok for learning when bored [21:30] 8-| [21:30] I can think of other things worth learning... [21:30] :) [21:30] give me some [21:30] 8-P [21:30] go learn regular expressions.... [21:30] that will take you a week. :) [21:31] Hmm [21:31] and pay big rewards [21:31] since they are used Everywhere..... [21:31] * zykotick9 wishes he knew regexp better :( [21:31] gotta love being able to trim down a few dozen+ or more lines of code into a single line with a regular expression.. [21:32] zykotick9: yep. the kin of thing you gotta learn/read/ then apply to really learn them [21:32] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 === klebers is now known as klebers[afk] [21:33] What is the ubuntu recommended method to set up default permissions for files created in a specific directory? [21:33] my wireless card is broadcasting on 192.168.0.255, how do i change this back to the default 255.255.255.0? [21:33] Nitax, umask [21:33] Nitax, oh, "specific directory" i don't think umask will help. good luck. [21:33] zykotick9: and to make umask specific to that directory, for any user that creates files there? [21:33] I'm trying to install (from source) a program that tells me I need "gtk+-2.0", but what do I need to install (using synaptics) in order to have gtk+? [21:34] I have a link that tells how to set up ACL w/ umask but I wasn't sure if that was the best way. [21:34] Nitax, i think ACLs i possibly the only way - not something i've played with [21:34] will libgtk-3.0 be enough or do I also need the -dev version? [21:34] s/i/is/ [21:35] helloo... i am running through the sound troubleshooting and it seems that i have no loaded modules for ALSA and no driver version... do i just add a new one? and if so, how? [21:35] alpha, you need the -dev versions to compile against - but not sure about the 2 vs 3 issue. [21:35] does any one know of an offline wikiepdia reader thats natively for ubuntu [21:35] !checkinstall | alpha [21:35] alpha: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [21:36] alpha, the above checkinstall can make "cleaning up" a LOT easier BTW [21:36] alpha, if it's asking for gtk2, don't install gtk3 [21:36] ok, thanks to all! [21:36] I added myself to the sudoers list, but I can't perform certain root tasks, what don't I understand? [21:36] kernelpanicker, you "should" have added your user to the admin group instead [21:37] how do I find out what the name of my soundcards driver is? [21:38] * glebihan is done with sudoers for tonight... [21:38] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 [21:38] glebihan, lol [21:38] zykotick9: well... I'm setting up a server, and I'll be the admin for a while, what's the best practice here, after logging in as root. In this case, it's a VPS, so I entered as root as it had 10.04 already installed... what's the first thing I should have done? [21:38] sudo modprobe snd-Intelhda [21:38] oops [21:38] sorry [21:39] kernelpanicker, "sudo -i" to get a root terminal is best-Ubuntu practise [21:39] how do I find out what the name of my soundcards driver is? [21:39] anyone? [21:39] zykotick9, well, I had SSH in the first place, as this is hosted. [21:40] zykotick9, I assume I first create a user for me with adduser... [21:40] then provide myself sudo abilities? [21:40] help? [21:40] kernelpanicker, if you have "root" then what do you need exactly? You want your user to be able to "sudo" if so, just add the user to the "admin" group [21:40] zykotick9, OK [21:41] I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 [21:41] boo [21:41] lizbeth, every 3 minutes is too quick. Perhaps providing somemore details, instead of repeating the same statement would also help. good luck. [21:42] zykotick9, which kind of details might help? [21:42] Hp laptop, ati graphic card. [21:42] lizbeth, what graphics card you are using for starts - nice! [21:42] 64 bits. [21:42] ati but that is not the issue. I can run startx from the recovery mode as root and it works fine. [21:43] zykotick9, [21:43] so if you run startx as a user - it gives an error? [21:43] lizbeth, oh i can't help you (for 2 reasons now, but hopefully someone else can) [21:44] Where can I find the setting which maximizes a frame if you move it to the top edge of the screen? I want to disable it [21:44] sveinse: thats a compiz plugin, use the ccsm toolto manage those. [21:45] sveinse, that would be under ccsm disable the "Grid" plugin [21:45] sveinse, if you unclick the window if you have pulled it down it will not fullscreen again. [21:46] some dont like "Aero snap" [21:46] coz_: Excellent. Thanks. Done [21:46] sveinse, no problem [21:51] Hello. Can anyone walk me through the steps needed to get my video card working? It’s an “nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]”. I already installed the pkg “nvidia-glx-173” but get “(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!” from Xorg. What to do? [21:51] i have to issues using fglrx. is the open source better or worse in some ways ? [21:52] no issues [21:52] vlt, nouveau [21:53] when using checkinstall i get the message "Package webkit-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path." But I have libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 installed [21:53] Gredeu: ? [21:53] fglrx or radeon ? which is better ? [21:53] vlt, i dont know how you'd switch to open source nouveau [21:54] Gredeu: I’m installing “nouveau-firmware” … [21:55] good luck [21:55] Gredeu: Done. [21:55] What’s next? [21:55] its handy to reenable ctrl-alt-backspace [21:55] vlt, FYI nouveau lacks 3d support [21:56] no one can ever get 3D right [21:56] Gredeu, and are YOU goint to assist vlt with that? I hope so. Also 3d is limited to very select cards. [21:57] zykotick9, i told him i could not help him [21:57] Ok, so how to get my Xorg working? === __008 is now known as james007 === james007 is now known as j007 [21:58] vlt, i can't help you with it - but your card does support nouveau 3d - http://www.h-node.com/videocards/catalogue/en/1/1/NVIDIA/undef/works_with_3D/undef/undef something to keep in mind if you can't get nvidia proprietary working === j007 is now known as k007 === k007 is now known as l007 === l007 is now known as aa007 [22:00] vlt, i wish i had your card - so i could test/try nouveau 3d -- too bad it's AGP, as I only have pcie at this point. === aa007 is now known as freon777 [22:03] What lspci option shows me the VendorID:ProductID value of my card? [22:03] vlt, lspci -nn [22:03] vlt, lspci | grep -i vga [22:04] vlt, if you meant video [22:04] Did I screw up my LiveCD? [22:04] FreezingCold, let me see it === freon777 is now known as jj7 [22:04] FreezingCold, you tell us. [22:04] :) === jj7 is now known as j008 === j008 is now known as wz008 [22:04] Actually never mind, I think it might just be QEMU [22:05] chili555, coz_: Thanks.

[22:05] vlt, ok the fx series is probably the lowest end card that can run most of compiz [22:06] vlt, if you are wanting nouveau I am not sure it could handle it in 3d I mean [22:06] how can i set a default nic in ubuntu, say i want eth1 to be default NIC === P|orientation is now known as Pilif12p [22:08] default for what? the nics send the info to the network they are connected to based on the ip being accessed... [22:08] zRomayn, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml [22:08] theres the default route stuff.. but thats not really nic specific. but ip/route specific i belive. === maz is now known as maz-sans-cause [22:10] urlin2u, FYI i've burned 10.04 and the installation is going fine, no problems. 11.04, not working for me. I will attempt to upgrade after installation completes. === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [22:10] JoshM, cool hope the windows is intact I wondered it the 2 discs were not attached. [22:11] urlin2u, there is no span if that's what you mean [22:11] if* [22:11] I just booted up my LiveCD and "console-kit-daemon" crashed... What is it? [22:11] Dr_Willis - i meant a primary NIC [22:11] JoshM, the grub boot is pointed at the mbr hd I hope. [22:11] Crap, looks like I removed way too much from my LiveCD =( [22:12] Getting a lot of crash reports [22:12] Dr_Willis - as far as I know a host will initiate connections from a primary or default NIC, if you have more than one NIC on the system [22:12] urlin2u, yes, boot loader going on HDA, ubuntu on HDB. wish me luck. [22:13] JoshM, the grub should be in the same hd of install, generally. let us know the outcome. [22:13] urlin2u, will do. [22:14] ;0 [22:16] Hi, in C language how can I set the location of compiled file? [22:17] Can I use the Minimal CD as a LiveCD? [22:18] ? [22:19] FreezingCold, no [22:19] FreezingCold, you could do your install with it and tweak what you want and make a iso then though. [22:20] Actually never mind, I found the wiki page that tells me how :) [22:20] This is what I get when I run glxinfo: http://pastie.org/2413738 My first guess is that it's an Xorg configuration problem, is there anyway to automatically generate a new one? [22:20] any driver guru guy? [22:21] My webcam built in my laptop VGN-CS170F seems to not be detected by ubuntu somehow [22:21] n-iCe, ask your question and find out ;-) [22:21] tried lspci and lsusb [22:21] But seems to not be listed!

[22:24] root-jr_pl, very busy channel try #linux as well [22:24] root-jr_pl, actually ##linux [22:24] root-jr_pl: thats a compiler specific thing [22:25] and its not a linux thing at al [22:25] root-jr_pl: Assuming you're using the command "gcc" to compile your source code, you would add the option "-o /path/to/file.out".

[22:28] Dr_Willis, yes i do [22:28] root-jr_pl: man gcc - lots of information in there, and there are lots of gcc guides out there [22:28] wtf [22:28] zRomayn: dare i ask why? :) Unless you are trying to double your bandwith... [22:28] hi all [22:28] hey [22:29] thx ;) i solved that [22:29] Dr_Willis - i want to use one iface for local networking, and the other one for internet access [22:30] zRomayn: so one is plugged into your router? and the other to a hub for the local lan? [22:30] Dr_Willis, both are connected to the same LAN switch [22:31] hi all... I have a dv2000 hp notebook, and I just can't see my headphones volume control, also my speakers doesn't mute when I plug the headphones. Plus, if I choose to sound only goes to the right speaker, it only goes to my right ear on headphones. if I put the sound 'center', it goes to the both ears AND speakers. Does anyone knows how can I configure it right? Using ubuntu 10.04 but the problems happened since 8.10 :\ [22:31] zRomayn: that dosent really make a lot of sence to me then.. from my networking basics that i know. you are basically splitting the stuff up then mergeingit back at teh switch. no real gains of any type. [22:32] zRomayn, sorry, I dont know if I got it... you want to change eth0 and eth1? [22:32] I think theres a #networking channel that knows a lot more then i do on the topic. :) i just do basic home lans [22:32] I think we may need a drawing.. :) [22:32] Dr_Willis - so aside from the performance/security/implementation point of view, is there any way to make eth1 the primary iface in ubuntu [22:33] ubuntu sets eth0 as the primary iface [22:33] zRomayn, you trying to bypass the blocks at work set by the IT dept? [22:33] urlin2u, this is my home lab [22:33] zRomayn, , take a look at /etc/network/interfaces... change it there and see if that's what you need [22:33] bugaloo, i played with that file and it doesn't let me do it [22:34] I have just installed vimprobable and tabbed. In order to make everything work I need to do the following steps: 1. I run tabbed (in terminal) which opens a window and gives (in the terminal) the windowid. 2. I copy the windowid and open a new tab in the terminal and write "vimprobable -e [copy in windowid]". How do I combine these all in one single command? NOTE: When running tabbed I do get some error messages about missing fontsets, but t [22:34] he last line contains the windowid [22:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=273514 Two network cards, one for internet, one for lan - Ubuntu Forums [22:34] zRomayn, k I remember your stuff. [22:35] zRomayn: why does it matter which is 'primary' ? (a bit of a vague term) [22:36] Dr_Willis, say my host is called A, and then i want to ping A from host B. I want host A to reply to host B via its primary iface [22:36] I think he wants the "primary" card to be the eth0, right zRomayn ? [22:36] Im not even sure where this term Primary came from... [22:36] zRomayn, now I got it [22:36] bugaloo, i want the primary to be eth1 [22:37] zRomayn, this is only routing [22:37] bugaloo: right.. routeing.. :) [22:37] you dont need to worry about who is eth0 or eth1 [22:37] there's gotta be an /etc/rc file, let me check [22:37] you just need to say which network is in what interface [22:37] like.... 10.0.0.0/8 eth1 0.0.0.0 eth0 [22:38] host b has 2 interfaces if it has 2 nics. [22:38] Dr_Willis, it could have two interfaces with 1 nic, hehe... a virtual one, like eth0:0 [22:38] * Dr_Willis wonders if we are refering to the default route.. [22:38] Dr_Willis, I though so, hehe [22:39] but ive never seen anyone put 2 nics tothe same lan.. always to 2 differnt lans.... so differnt ip/ranges. [22:39] zRomayn, let us to know... what are the IP address of both interfaces? [22:40] zRomayn, can you post your "ifconfig" output on pastebin? [22:40] guys, guys, i'm a network admin, and i have plenty of network experience. i'm just new to ubuntu/linux and don't quite seem to find where i can change the primary network interfaces [22:40] let's put it this way, the order of ifaces [22:41] zRomayn, the problem is... we dont know what you mean by "primary iface" === maz is now known as maz-sans-cause [22:41] zRomayn, so I'm going to ask you again: you want to invert eth0 and eth1? [22:42] if you open up the network information on a windows host that has more than 1 iface, you will notice that it will set one as primary, or first in the list, and the other one as secondary. that's where i'm going with this. [22:42] bugaloo, yes, i want to invert them, if that makes more sense to you [22:42] zRomayn, actually it doesn't make sense "why" to invert it... it doesn't really matter which one is the 0 and which is 1 [22:43] but if you want it, you can try that file I told you... /etc/network/interfaces... [22:43] zRomayn, also... both nics are the same model? [22:44] isn't that just a mapping in /etc/interfaces/network bugaloo [22:44] zRomayn, if they're different models (and modules), you can unload the modules, and then load the modules in right order... [22:44] I guess it'd be a stupid solution, but anyway, hehe [22:44] scythefwd, it depends... I'm assuming he's using a server, not gnome [22:44] bugaloo, i tried that file and it is not what i'm looking for. and the ifaces aren't the same model. additionally, i tried playing with this file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules with no success [22:45] zRomayn, the first module loaded will be eth0 [22:45] you can try it [22:45] well, i guess i'll try playing with this later. i'm just going to play with my son now. [22:45] another stupid solution would be change the network cables, hehe [22:45] and IPs of course [22:45] zromayn, if not, you can open yourbox and usually the mac address is listed on the card (it is on my intels and my linksys cards I had back in the day) [22:45] bug, that changes the structure and function of the /etc/interfaces/network file? [22:46] scythefwd, good question... i'm not sure now [22:46] bug, would swapping pci slots have any effect [22:46] scythefwd, pci slots? I dont think so [22:48] bug, how are the interfaces identified and then numbered? Could it be by bus location, in which the PCI slots could effect the numbering. If it is alphabetical by mac, then you may be out of luck, if it is a mapping somewhere, then it can be edited [22:48] How can I set up ubuntu to run some other program at tty4. For instance I'd like to run 'ssh somehost' there insted the default login? [22:48] so i use nautilus all the time for mounting ftp folders, is there a way for me to export that list of sites and its passwords? I need to import it into another app [22:49] scythefwd, well... the first module loaded is the first (eth0)... but when the interfaces use the same module, then I dont know [22:49] it's random to me, hehe [22:50] but when you have two equal NICs, I think it's easier to change the network cable between the two boards :P [22:50] lololololol [22:50] There is some order, has to be or you're nics and the IP bindings would flop back and forth when you reboot === brandon is now known as BrandonBolton [22:51] it'd make sense to use the MAC since they are unique (well, supposedly... IT legend is that there was a screwup at a nic factory and they stamped a few hundred cards with the same mac way back when) [22:51] Or anything ... as for instance # su someuser if I'd like to alocate this tty to that user and just not ask for his password [22:51] maybe [22:52] scythefwd: those are either udev rules.. or which module loads first. [22:52] Hello, is it easy to set up a domain with Linux? [22:52] BrandonBolton, easy or hard is a subjective concept, hehe [22:53] Sebo, to users, you can use the .bashrc [22:54] bugaloo, and a dichotomy. [22:54] bugaloo, I like the way you think. I challenge is pretty easy sometimes, it will just be the whole thing of learning an new OS and command line associated with it. [22:54] dr - my point was more that there is a logical set of rules that will always identify the same nic as eth0 [22:54] BrandonBolton, well... you 'll have to configure DNS service, that's not trivial to some people [22:54] I get a segfault when I run glxinfo: http://pastie.org/2413871 any ideas? [22:55] bugaloo, That will be the most hardest part most likely. Windows made it a little to easy and a little to easy to crash, also. [22:56] BrandonBolton, I dont know about windows config, never did it [22:56] dr - besides, wouldn't to intel pro cards use the same module loaded twice? The module would have to have some way of determining which nic was which, and while MAC is probably not it, there is something unique associated with that card === MaxPower is now known as MaxPower9 [22:57] bugaloo, It is just clicking one button on the Server Manager. It is pretty straightforward. What distro do you recommend to create a domain in? Perhaps any great sources to learn from on the topic? :) [22:58] hehe [22:58] BrandonBolton, you can use any GUI to configure DNS on linux, but I prefer just to edit the files [22:58] urlin2u, grub config is fine, windows starts up fine, no problems. gonna upgrade to 11.04 later on. [22:59] bugaloo, To Google and Youtube it is ;) I know what my plans for today is ;) [22:59] does someone have time to walk me through the steps of adding ppa and upgrading minitube, it is turned out to be majorly diffucult, for a mere mortal [22:59] BrandonBolton, now I'm confused hehe [23:00] didn't get what's the point [23:00] sorry, maybe it's my bad english :) [23:00] and in the same vein, what does ppa stand for [23:01] silverarrow: which ppa were you trying to use? [23:01] bugaloo, I made it confusing, sorry, so I am just going to go try and set up a Domain with file services and Active Directory and all of that good stuff. :) [23:01] BrandonBolton, but you want to host a domain that owns to you, right? [23:02] Dr_willis, I think I tried at least three different ways to add ppa, [23:02] bugaloo, Sorry, I wasn't thinking of a web server I am thinking about a full on network running in my home. I just referred to it as a domain. v.v [23:03] silverarrow: which PPA were you using.. theres really only one way to add one thats normally used... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name [23:03] Dr_Willis, I have to look it up again, I've been on this half the day [23:03] https://launchpad.net/~chimerarevo/+archive/minitube is first hit i saw... You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:chimerarevo/minitube [23:03] mosca roberto something [23:04] so you would replace the ppa:user/ppa-name with ppa:chimeravo/minitube when you run teh command [23:04] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chimerarevo/minitube [23:04] then update/upgrade/install the program [23:05] BrandonBolton, oh ok [23:05] got it now [23:06] does anyone know how to get pip working for python 3? :( i cant figure it out. im on Natty [23:07] ls [23:07] I'm trying to figure out why glxinfo is seg faulting, here's my Xorg.0.log file: http://pastie.org/2413929 [23:08] Austin`, that's really... really vague === \l is now known as luigi [23:09] bugaloo: I don't really have any other information [23:09] hi all... I have a dv2000 hp notebook, and I just can't see my headphones volume control, also my speakers doesn't mute when I plug the headphones. Plus, if I choose to sound only goes to the right speaker, it only goes to my right ear on headphones. if I put the sound 'center', it goes to the both ears AND speakers. Does anyone knows how can I configure it right? Using ubuntu 10.04 but the problems happened since 8.10 [23:10] Dr_Willis: I cannot make it work [23:10] Hey, I've removed the standard ubuntu applictions > places > system menu from the top left but was wondering if I can add back just the "places" part of that menu or something of that effect?

[23:15] anyone have a simpler solution? [23:15] i have read somenething on a forum about some update to the kernel [23:15] but i dont remember it anymore [23:15] Q-jackechan_, wine?

[23:19] I hated the new layout :\ just downgraded to 10.10 because of it [23:19] luigi, thanks. are there many more changes? this kind of resembles the ubutu for netbook i installed months ago.

It's not supported here though. There are other distros that offer gnome 3 support officially though, like Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Arch linux.

Anyway, I clicked on the power icon and eve [23:49] but it said the file is corrupt [23:49] ... i just downloaded it [23:49] point it to the actual .zip file perhaps.. it MIGHT be bad.. [23:49] imbored, wrong network for that [23:49] k, i'll try that [23:49] true [23:50] Any chance the messing with tracker or installing firefox 6 could have caused the machine to even boot into grub? [23:50] still no gold [23:50] bazhagng wahts the right one? [23:50] imbored, try eu.undernet.org... lots of sex channels there :P [23:50] imbored, no idea, this is ubuntu support only. please take it elsewhere [23:51] i'm gonna try dling it again. [23:51] ... to not even boot into grub? [23:51] and pointing it to the new zip [23:52] yes, maybe [23:52] Q-jackechan_: cut/paste the url to the .zip in firefox.. let it download it. :) [23:52] Q-jackechan_, did you test it on windows? [23:52] http://www.mhhe.com/sem/chemdraw/ [23:53] i dont have access to windows atm, but it damn well better work [23:53] it's my organic chemistry online homework [23:53] that's ok [23:54] just curious [23:54] i mean, so far as actually being a functional file and such [23:54] Q-jackechan_: I don't see a linux version on that webpage [23:54] Browsers: IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, Firefox 3.5, Firefox 3.6 · Only 32-bit browsers are supported. [23:54] ... thanks for the big news there thor. >_> [23:54] haha [23:54] and what version of FF are you using? [23:54] guys, that's why he installed windows version of firefox on linux [23:54] Dr_Willis, that's how it started :P [23:55] whatever came with a fresh install of narwhal about 5 days ago [23:55] silly me, I thought this was #ubuntu [23:55] should be latest [23:55] I hate to tell you this.. but a .msi is NOT a firefox extension... [23:55] its a windows executable.... you install with wine [23:55] sorry th0r, i'm just a little annoyed at the moment. i need to get these working in ubuntu [23:56] i apologize for snapping at you [23:56] Q-jackechan_, Dr_Willis has a point... try to open the msi file using wine, just like you installed firefox [23:56] lol @ who ever was thinking a .msi is a ff extension [23:56] >_< that'd be me [23:56] oh [23:56] wine msiexec /i xyz.msi [23:56] ok, so then i have to install it in i-explore i'd wager. [23:56] bugaloo: he will have to install the windows software installer first, it isn't part of wine [23:56] wine can install msi's [23:57] guide me o linux gods. cause i have no idea what your talking about. [23:57] steam comes as a msi. [23:57] wine msiexec /i xyz.msi <------------------------------------------------ to install a msi [23:57] Q-jackechan_: Plus, if you are running a game, I would NOT recommend using wine [23:57] it's not a game. it's chemistry homework online [23:58] is its a complex program? [23:58] Alternatively: [23:58] wine start whatever.msi [23:58] if you really need it, then I would strongly recommend running winxp as a dual boot, or as a vm [23:58] hold on, so i put wine msiexec /i [filename].msi into terminal? [23:58] Q-jackechan_: ^ [23:58] i dont have winxp =/ [23:59] Q-jackechan_: Good luck running something you rely on under wine then.. [23:59] it's not really all that intense of a program (i hope)
