[00:00] but obscure illegible command lines are [00:00] My laptop spec is 1.8 Ghz / 384 Mb RAM / 764 Mb SWAP, on certain occasion my CPU would reach 100% even though I have 1 to 3 open programs with around 200 Mb of RAM used. I think, maybe it has to be with swap, so I'm thinking of reducing it to 128 Mb, Can I just do that thru Gparted, wont it mess up my system? [00:00] still who can help me troubleshoot boot issue? [00:00] what is your problem Lint [00:00] sraue, tried it...... for i in `find . -name Only*`; do mv $1 `echo $1 | sed -e "s,Only Fools ,,"`; done [00:00] it hangs somewhere in init [00:01] No luck [00:01] said I'm using mv wrong [00:01] j0hndoe, reducing the swap size will not change that change the swappiness. [00:01] antnash, filenames have spaces? [00:01] yup [00:01] antnash: I'd recommend #bash for that [00:01] doh [00:01] replace $1 with $i [00:01] urlin2u, so its safe to reduce the size of swap, is that what you're saying? [00:02] yup, saw that right before you said it [00:02] antnash: No find, nasted loop: for i in {1..8}; do for y in {1..12}; do echo season$i episode$y; done; done; [00:03] j0hndoe, reducing the size of swap does not minimise the frequency of swapping [00:03] j0hndoe, it will not fix the problem, you v=can reduce it you see what I'm saying, this will though to some extent. http://dammuozz.selfip.com/?p=308 [00:04] clemenstimpler, but i read somewhere the more size of swap is the more work cpu does making it lag.. is that true? [00:04] j0hndoe, cpu use, and ram use and the swap area are conneted to some extent but high cpu is just that. [00:05] swap is for when the ram gets to a certain use j0hndoe [00:05] urlin2u, im trying to edit swap it wont let me delete or shrink or something [00:05] j0hndoe, general advice: try to diagnose your problem before you copy solutions from the web [00:06] j0hndoe, right click then shut off, that will do you no good though. [00:06] I'm not exactly find reinstalling OS each two weeks funny or productive [00:06] urlin2u, no good as in, will it mess up my system? [00:07] j0hndoe, it wont fix the problem you describe. [00:07] Link, you got problem with bootloader yes? [00:07] nope, with init [00:08] johndoe, you will have a slower system or even hangs if you don't have enough memory ( RAM+ SWAP), shrinking do you no good at all ~ [00:08] oh i see [00:09] <\bMike\b> ubottu: css [00:09] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[00:32] Lyca: if you have a low end system. try lubuntu first [00:32] Lyca: you will find lxde lighter than xfce, but you will find xfce more configurable and maybe a little more powerful [00:32] when I run "sudo service foo start" where can I look to see why it fails? [00:32] hmm [00:32] Lyca, some programs are tied to particular environments: if you install ktorrent on a lubuntu install, it will draw in many dependent packages [00:32] this is the computer im running it on, if you guys wouldnt mind checking out the specs [00:32] http://www.recycledgoods.com/products/Sony-PCV-RX670-Vaio-PCV-7742-P4-1.8-GHz-512-MB-80-GB-DVD-RW-CD-R.html [00:33] jo-erlend: the problem with synergy is that you cant move windows between monitors hopefully you don't find it annoying like i did [00:33] aaas, that would be cool. But that's not something I need. [00:33] Lyca: I used to do system performance analysis for work. I think you will find xfce and lxde pretty close as far as utilization of system resources. A more important decision will probably be which software you choose to use with it [00:34] Lyca, you might try both on a thumb drive.

I remember I had it and then installed a script so that on facebook it stopped the slideshow and showed the pictures inline [01:09] henry-: unplug the device, open a terminal and 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. Then plug in the device and see if it is recognized (/dev/sdb, /dev/hdb, etc). If so, you should be able to mount it using the mount command [01:09] phrostbite, could be greasemonkey [01:09] h00k, i'll have a read through that page, thanks.

[01:12] this is what I get in tail: http://pastebin.com/FQBz7P6w [01:12] henry-: that is your pastebin, right? it doesn't show what device it is, and you need that to mount it [01:12] th0r, [01:12] anyone know why wvdialer says "no carrier" (cdma mini-pci-express card) is there a way to debug that? [01:12] urlin2u, is it because of the 0 bytes that my disk space became? [01:13] henry-: /dev/sdb. Type 'mount' in the terminal and see if /dev/sdb is mounted somewhere. If not you should be able to mount it [01:13] atdprhs, I only know how to push the button and wait. [01:13] urlin2u, is it possible to give "/" more free space from "home", I'm not technically using it yet [01:13] hahahahaha [01:13] atdprhs, I never wipe the whole free space, it might have froze [01:14] atdprhs, you have a seperate home?

[01:14] henry-, /dev/sdxX [01:15] it was 387 MB, when I started the bleach bit to start cleaning, it killed the free space completely [01:16] henry-: try mount /dev/sdb, but I think you will have to create a mount point (a simple folder) and then use a full mount command. [01:17] what's the syntax for the full mount command? [01:17] yeah [01:17] urlin2u, I do have a seperate home [01:17] henry-: assuming the simple command doesn't work. Create a folder in your home (mkdir /home/username/tempmnt). Then issue this command 'mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /home/username/tempmnt....put your username in both commands [01:18] I need some help guys! [01:18] don't we all Gus ;D [01:18] How can I get my HDD back to NTFS on Ubuntu? [01:18] Hi. I have an EC2 small instance running Lucid, and it's reporting high average loads but the cpu seems idle most of the time… is it possible that it's reporting false data? [01:18] I don't know where to ask this, but what would be the correct way to make my /home partition change from primary to logical? [01:18] atdprhs, you would I think change the partitions in gparted, seems like a waste though, unless it is really messed up. [01:18] henry-: and you might need /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb [01:19] henry@main:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/samsungmount [01:19] mount: mount point /home/samsungmount does not exist [01:19] the machine feels pretty responsive too… doesnt feel slow [01:19] I am having a hard time connecting to my wireless internet through my Ubuntu OS. Am i on the right channel for this? [01:19] How can I get my HDD back to NTFS on Ubuntu? It is FAT32 right now! [01:19] henry-: you need to create the mountpoint.....if your username is 'henry' then mkdir /home/henry/tempmnt [01:20] Gus, you want the info on it now/ [01:20] Yes [01:20] Gus, you will need to pull it off to change. [01:20] it exists th0r [01:20] I need to make the HDD NTFS [01:20] ? [01:20] henry-: then you should be able to use it in the mount command [01:21] I don't have Windows on the PC just Ubuntu [01:21] So I want to know how to make it NTFS [01:21] I know i have the correct setup for the actual internet modem thing, it works fine for this computer right here, but it is not registering it in ubuntu B/// [01:21] now it claims that neither sdb or sdb1 exist [01:21] :S [01:21] could it be the phone's programming? [01:21] Is there a site where I can find reviews on how well a GPU is supported with the proprietary drivers? [01:21] HELP D; [01:21] Gus: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-reformat-an-external-hard-drive-to-ntfs-format-in-ubuntu-hardy/2008/09/29 [01:22] you'll need to repartition the drive Gus [01:22] Ok [01:22] I am trying to get a cron job to work. I have it running under root (sudo crontab -e). The command is a python script. It runs fine when I run it through the terminal, but it errors out when it runs through the cron job (via /var/log/syslog) [01:22] This will work on a internal correct? [01:22] oh, an external drive [01:22] if you change the filesystem type it will erase all data! Gus [01:22] so back up your data [01:23] henry-: it appears from the pastebin that it is recognized as /dev/sdb, so that command should work. But I have never worked with a phone...so there may be something else involved [01:23] Ok, so how do I make my internal HDD NTFS? [01:23] Gus, using that ink will wipe the info in formatting a ntfs [01:23] link [01:23] Even Internal? [01:24] urlin2u, won't I need to change the configuration of the home folder to be located on the / [01:24] Gus, yes you have to remove the data to be saved then make a NTFS then reoad it [01:24] reload [01:24] I have a hunch that it's coded in the phones software to only allow their software to access the phone th0r [01:24] How? That shows external [01:25] atdprhs, not really an area of expertse for me I have only one partition per install. [01:25] you're on ubuntu Gus? [01:25] there's a partition manager [01:25] Dr_Willis: you there? [01:25] henry-: that may be. I have never tried to interface a cell to a computer. [01:25] Where? [01:25] xrdodrx: You there [01:25] Sorry Im gonna paste this [01:25] Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" [01:25] Is this the channel for Ubuntu Software Center? If so, my setup is stuck on 5 removes and asking me to confirm removal of a sixth that has cross-dpeendencies that I meed to remove too. What should I do -- kill it? [01:26] Is there a way in firefox to open multiple tabs when the application is opened? [01:26] Gus, in windows I think you can convert look on the web [01:26] specifically the modal dialog box will not respond to button presses [01:26] HorizEdgeScroll was set to 0 instead of being set to 1 for some reason. So I just set it to 1 and it worked. Scroll mouse working. [01:26] The computer doesn't have Windows [01:26] Only Ubuntu [01:26] get gnome partition editor from software center Gus [01:26] Ok [01:26] Be right back [01:27] Is there a site where I can find reviews on how well a GPU is supported with the proprietary drivers? [01:27] back up your data Gus === uw_ is now known as gnrl [01:27] Gus, okay then your question is answered, to be honest you wold back it up anyway [01:27] free space is now 1 GB [01:27] i'll restart my computer [01:27] hi [01:27] Ok === lethu is now known as lettuce [01:27] i configure vpn connection but i can see that , how i can connect to vpn ? [01:28] hello ubuntu help, we do miracles. === lettuce is now known as lethu [01:28] hidensoft: I don't understand. What do you mean [01:30] . [01:31] pietro10: how i can establish a VPN connection ? i make it , but i don't know how i can do this [01:32] hidensoft: hm. So you created a VPN connection but you don't know how to connect to it? [01:32] vpn connection menu in network manager applet just have 2 submenu , configure vpn and disconnect vpn [01:33] hidensoft: choose Configure VPN [01:33] pietro10: ok [01:33] i see my vpn connection [01:33] ...huh. [01:33] so it's configured properly, but not showing up in the menu? that's odd [01:34] sadly I don't know how to fix it; does anyone else here know? [01:34] yes [01:34] this is bug ? [01:34] holy shit [01:35] does anybody know how to change gnome3 boot screen ? [01:36] !gnome3 | prezident [01:36] prezident: 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. [01:36] prezident: There also is irc://irc.gnome.org if you want more details on some of tht [01:37] gry, thanx [01:37] prezident: i see some application do this , but i don't know names , search in google you find it ;) [01:37] prezident: #gnome on here as well if you can't or don't want to connect [01:37] henry-: I gather you are trying to interface a samsung phone? [01:37] So I still don't know. Ubuntu Software Center is not responding to events; only playing the sound effect and showing the animations. It's stuck on a dialogue asking me to remove a cross-dependency to a package I am trying to remove. 5 other removes are in progress. What should I do?

This one looks promising....but is compile from source...http://www.bitpim.org [01:41] urlin2u: huh? I don't understand what's vague about it [01:41] hello, I have a problem with aptoncd [01:41] can anyone help me? [01:42] bure4st037: If you ask the full question please. [01:42] I made a backup on a .iso some months ago, want to make a restore now [01:42] but can't burn the .iso [01:42] Hey [01:42] Me again [01:43] if I open aptoncd and press restore [01:43] it says it can't find cd's [01:43] bure4st037: On one line pretty please [01:43] pietro10, not a name of a single package [01:43] bure4st037: What's te full error message, do you have a write-capable drive available [01:43] the package I'm trying to remove I think is called heroes; it also wants me to remove heroes-sdl; and i dunno the names of the other 5 packages only that they're all games [01:44] first it says "No cd", then "E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory) [01:44] E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory) [01:44] E: Failed to mount the cdrom. [01:44] " [01:44] bure4st037: :( [01:45] pietro10, the software center can be problematic, you want to run each process then the next.

[01:46] Gus_: just delete and make a new partation [01:46] without a PWM module, how can I force acpi to run my fan at 100%? There is fan control going on for some reason, but fancontrol told me I had no PWM modules [01:46] Gus, backup what's there deleta and mae antfs [01:46] How? [01:46] How do I delete? [01:47] Gus_: RIGHT CLICK DELETE [01:47] bure4st037: make sure there is a /media/cdrom directory? [01:47] Gus_: lol dam capslock [01:47] is it possible that Lucid doesnt report correct average load on EC2? I'm getting average load between 2-4 while the cpu seems to be idle. Doesnt make sense… and the machine feels responsive. [01:47] Won't let me select it [01:47] Dr_Willis, I made one and mounted the .iso in it [01:47] bure4st037: but for burning an iso file.. im not sure why you need to do that. [01:47] Gus, right click the swap then swap off then right click it and delete then sda1 delete then sda 2delete [01:47] Gus_: you would need to do it on the live cd [01:47] bure4st037: oh. you are trying to fake it out. :) [01:47] still didn't work, and burning is not an option [01:48] On the live CD? [01:48] could be its trying to remount it or somthing bure4st037 ive never used aptoncd [01:48] Gus, yes on a live cd of course [01:48] Gus_: yea you cant reformat a drive in use [01:48] How do I do that? [01:48] gogeta: well :) you can.. but its not nice.. heh... [01:48] Gus, are you just trying to install windows? [01:49] Yes, but my HDD needs to be NTFS and it isn't right now [01:49] Gus_: windows can do it [01:49] I don't have windows on it right now [01:49] Gus, windows will make the NTFS for you. [01:49] Gus_: windows installer disk can do it. or perhaps try the gparted live cd. that way nothing is in use. [01:49] No [01:49] Windows installer won;t [01:49] It fails === jeremy is now known as Guest38002 [01:50] It says it can't do it [01:50] so the core of the issue is windows installer failing.. :) and you are trying to work around it. [01:50] And restarts my PC [01:50] Gus_: in the installer when it shows the partations slect delete on all of them [01:50] Gus, I doubt that but use a live ubuntucd or gparted cd [01:50] k how about this [01:50] It doesn't get that far [01:50] if I force quit Ubuntu Software Center in this situation, will Iscrew up my pakcage database? [01:50] It says loading installer folders and then says failed [01:50] Gus_: i think for 7 you have to slect advanced when it ask where to install [01:50] calwig, you there? [01:51] Gus_, if it does not get that far I doun=bt it will instal, kinda important part. [01:51] pietro10, if it's running and you close APT, it will fuck up your system [01:51] I know [01:51] That's why I need it to be NTS [01:51] That is why I am here [01:51] !language | bure4st037 [01:51] bure4st037: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:51] Gus_: so to make a ntfs. you could use gparted (or other live cds) or ask in #windows about doing it via a windows disk of some kind. [01:51] Gus_: or gparted + the ntfsprogs on ubuntu. if the disk/partitions are not in use. [01:52] How do I get them not in use? [01:52] Sorry [01:52] gparted requires ntfsprogs installed to allow messing with ntfs. [01:52] well hot damn th0r [01:52] I'm not good with Ubuntu [01:52] it's working [01:52] thanks man [01:52] Gus_: in windows when it ask what hdd to install on slect advanced it will bring up partations delete all of them then on the empty tell windows to install there [01:52] you gain 30 wizard points [01:52] Ok [01:52] Gus_: unmount them.. which will be hard to do if you are trying to mess with your / partition.. which is why i mention the live cd's [01:52] Be back later [01:52] henry-: in all fairness they should go to google [01:53] Google is a level 10000000 wizzard. [01:53] Dr_Willis: what happond to over 9000 [01:53] !!!! [01:53] henry-: you can blacklist that module so it doesn't give you problems after reboot [01:54] I've been trying to google the problem for quite some time now th0r :P [01:54] I just removed the thing [01:54] should be enough, right? [01:54] are there some gui tools for unattended installation? [01:54] henry-: an advantage of knowing nothing....I got real good at the searches [01:55] henry-: that module will reload at reboot....put the module name in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and it won't load again [01:55] aight [01:56] you mean blacklist.conf, right? [01:57] henry-: I think so. I haven't used it in a while...would need to go back to google [01:57] henry-: yeah...just looked...it is blacklist.conf [01:58] alrighty then! [02:03] I'm installing packages onto another machine using packages previous downloaded already, and on the other machine after i installed about half its saying "Package is missing final newline" [02:03] I googled it and it said to try changing /var/lib/dpkg/info to /var/lib/dpkg/info.old [02:03] just curious what exactly does that do [02:04] it works but now on some of the packages then it looks like its trying to update some but its not sure whats been installed already [02:06] WarOp, any of those from a repo not added, or another source, not in the repo's [02:07] ya mediaubuntu [02:07] is anybody getting a triple inbox in the messaging menu (from evolution) ? [02:08] to where its working, but its saying that updating package o this package doesnt seem to be installed [02:08] WarOp, is a key missing indicated? [02:08] dpkg: warning: files list file for package `homebank-data' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. [02:08] anyone use red5? says network connection rejected when I try to use the demos.. dunno whats wrong. [02:09] does anybody know how to change the splash screen in gnome3 ? [02:09] so it appears that I installed packages then later on received an update for the packages and now it wont allow me to update due to changing the /var/lib/dpkg/info > /var/lib/dpkg/info.old [02:10] WarOp: change it back [02:10] but if if change it back then it'll give the error "Package Missing final newline" [02:10] what does that mean [02:10] where is network manager for 11.04 server? apt-get says there's no release candidate; I don't see it on the cd... [02:10] s/release/install/ [02:11] WarOp: take a look in the file and see if you can find a package missing a newline at the end of the line [02:11] trying to install Identical system onto other similiar system [02:12] I'm trying to set up a server on wifi, and not having much luck. ath9k card is detected by lspci and lshw but shows DISABLED and doesn't appear in /proc/net/wireless at all. [02:13] mjreed: a server on wifi?.. thats interesting.. [02:13] lol [02:13] yeah, yeah. i don't have the cat5 run yet. [02:13] "hey guys, i got a mustang... don't wanna drive it though, who wants to help me push it around town!" [02:13] how do i share a printer over my network so ubuntu and windows can see it? [02:14] !cups | linux_is_my_hero [02:14] linux_is_my_hero: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [02:14] it's just a home network. [02:14] !red5 [02:14] mjreed: doesn't really matter to be truthful. [02:14] If I were setting up a real server, it'd be a VM in someone's data center. :) [02:14] still doesn't make sense [02:15] OK. Can we stipulate that I'm an idiot because noone in their right mind would ever do such a stupid thing as set up a server on wifi, and move on? I would still like to be able to set the box up without waiting for the wire runs. [02:16] mjreed: I have set up servers on wifi....why not? don't let the clowns mislead you [02:16] ok, so I installed the new kernel and now my networking doesn't work unless I use the old kernel. Do I need to install my realtek drivers while running the new kernel and how do I do that? [02:16] Computer Rebooted so what does it mean when it says "Package is missing Final newline [02:17] Thanks, thund3r god. I appreciate the support. Any tips on where to look next? Most of the stuff I found online either requires software that I can't find, or only works if the card shows up in /proc... [02:17] the old ath_pci driver is not showing up; the ath9k driver is there in lsmod.. [02:17] mjreed: might the server have a hardware switch that is being misread? [02:17] Googled & found to change /var/lib/dpkg/info > /var/lib/dpkg/info.old [02:17] which it worked to install the package that was saying Missing final newline [02:18] nah, it's not a laptop and the wifi is an add-on card with no switch, [02:18] mjreed: You should be able to configure it with /etc/network/interfaces and ifup/ifdown, or use nm-cli if you really want network-manager. But it no showing up in /proc/net/wireless is concerning. I'm pretty sure network-manager won't help fix that. [02:18] but what trying to install updated packages and it's like it doesnt see the existing packages already installed [02:18] yeah, i'm trying to get from lshw and lspci to /proc. I don't know what the missing piece of the puzzle is there. [02:18] mjreed: Can you pastebin the output of "lsmod | grep ath"? [02:20] yeah, i m still really confused by samba, etc.... [02:22] how do i find my shared printer on another ubuntu machine? [02:22] Jordan_U: sure. http://pastebin.com/SfjqgZhE [02:23] whats the easiest way to install amd stream sdk? [02:23] is it in a repo? [02:23] ignore the wrong pastebin title..

[02:29] linux_is_my_hero: You have two Ubuntu computers, and you want to print from one to the other? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:29] e_t_: yes. the long-term goal is to also print from windows to the ubuntu, but im focused on ubuntu to ubuntu FIRST. [02:29] found the bug with the free space problem, it was definitely that some files where left open [02:29] somehow they wouldn't appear on 'lsof' but only in 'lsof /' [02:30] Hello, in 10.04 when I go to places and try to open documents etc. I get the following error: No application is registered as handling this file -- any ideas?

[02:32] I see a few people on the forums reporting that no buttons respond in the users and groups app and nobody has ever responded. I'm having the same issue on a clean install of Natty. Can anybody help?

[02:43] Jasonn: maybe not. Got some tips? [02:43] huh. added the config to /etc/network/interfaces and rebooted and it worked. [02:44] Thanks for the assist, Jordan_U and th0r. [02:44] Superdave321: lol, other than read the manual, not really. Every router is different... Make sure you are forwarding it, and not triggering it, and make sure you are forwarding the right port to the right server. [02:44] close [02:44] mjreed: You're welcome. [02:45] Jasonn: ok, Thanks. Is there anything in the server I could check? i've set it up on a non-standard port... [02:46] Superdave321: Do you know what port that is? and make sure you are forwarding that port, and set your client to connect to that port [02:48] Is there a way I can undo a dpkg --clear-selections? [02:48] I was pasting commands and accidentally pasted the wrong one. Now all my packages are marked for removal. [02:49] They aren't removed yet, but I'd like to not have them removed at the next update. [02:49] Anybody? [02:50] Jasonn: Yes, I have the port number.

[03:02] linux_is_my_hero: Now everything is marked for removal in dpkg, although apparently not removed yet. [03:02] well that checks what processes you have open [03:02] is there a video whiteboard where i can draw and record things as if it were a chalkboard, and save to video ? [03:02] Maybe you can then use that to figure out whats wrong [03:03] i see nothing wrong [03:03] I donno0 then, ask someone else [03:03] what the linux equiv to alt tab? [03:03] linux_is_my_hero: Any ideas? [03:03] you dont see to much MrBojangels [03:03] er [03:04] alt tab isnt working [03:04] MrBojangels, alt tab is the equivelent to alt tab [03:04] Alt-tab is used to do that here too? is gnome-panel up [03:04] lavagolemking: be patient, im looking for a better chat room. this one doesn't seem much help either, i can't seem to solve my printer issue so this will benefit us both :-) [03:04] how do i restart gnome?

[03:07] So use a mouse on whiteboard? [03:07] ParkerR, yes ir [03:07] sir [03:07] Gredeu, No [03:07] bummer [03:07] ParkerR: im on unity ... how do i get to system preference on unity? [03:07] #debian is stupid quiet [03:08] Oh [03:08] linux_is_my_hero: Would it work if I output the contents into a file, replaced every instance of "deinstall" with "install", and import it again? [03:08] press super then type power management [03:08] super = windows key [03:08] what does it mean x isnt in the sudoers file? [03:08] lavagolemking: i havent done much work with dpkg, so im looking it up myself [03:08] thats your problem alazare619 [03:08] linux_is_my_hero: Thanks. [03:09] alazare619, ignore that. He gives weird responses sometimes [03:09] weird may be your mother ) [03:10] no one is responding in deb channel so why does x isnt in sudo file mean never encountered it before [03:10] i can su drop to root but not sudo [03:10] alazare619, is your username x? [03:10] no my username is alazare619 [03:11] i think the x server has a user [03:11] SSH server refuses connection from outside my personal network. Any thoughts? [03:11] sure no its a name like anyother [03:11] Superdave321, forwarded port on router? [03:11] replace x with ne user logged into my system [03:11] Oh I thought ubuntu_ was ubottu [03:11] Derp [03:11] ie me alazare619 [03:11] Too late [03:11] ParkerR: Yep. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:12] Superdave321, using external IP address and port 22? [03:12] im working on that distro but got stuck parker [03:12] Guys...quick question: what is the name of that app that changes the ubuntu login bg etc? [03:12] Superdave321: When you say it refuses connection, the ssh server logs say you've connected but it doesn't log you in, or it just times out trying to connect? [03:12] alazare619, oh [03:12] rather confused im thinking i messed up a config file [03:12] you should say exactly what it says [03:12] I get you now [03:13] but idk where to look for a sudoers file grep isnt helping either [03:13] how does dd work [03:13] Wait [03:13] alazare619, ok open root terminal. [03:13] ok [03:13] ParkerR: using external DynDns and remote ip addresses and non-standard port#. [03:13] Accessories > root terminal [03:14] alazare619: Is this in Debian? or Ubuntu? [03:14] Oh I had him confused [03:14] Ubuntu [03:14] alazare619, sudo visudo [03:14] deb but no one in deb is responding [03:14] and it should work hence the question [03:14] Hi, a week I cannot connect to the ssh server I used to be able to connect before I moved to another app, always getting the error port 22: No route to host, which is strange since my collegues can connect from outside...Any thought or possible test to pinpoint the problemÉ thanks [03:14] kk ill try that parker thanks for the idea [03:15] Well theres more [03:15] alazare619: Alright. Well, it means you aren't able to currently use sudo. Could be a variety of reasons. You'll need to ask in #debian (try #debian on oftc, thats the primary channel). If it were Ubuntu, I'd say you likely removed yourself from the admin group, but that's not how debian does things. [03:15] Flannel, no I had this confused with debian its my fault for the confusion [03:15] Thelmaria: When I try to connect, it actually prints "ssh: connect to host {address} port {port #}: connection refused." [03:15] im working on it through my phone over 3g atm vnced into my work horse controlling the vbox lol [03:16] ParkerR: No worries. [03:16] all over 3g love android phones [03:16] |°/ [03:16] Flannel, but yeah Ubuntu should make the user able to use sudo from the get go [03:16] Superdave321: Check /var/log/auth.log - that'll tell you if the ssh server recieves the request (ie, port forwarding is working). [03:16] Hmm [03:17] only worry i didnt base it off ubuntu was cause there is no equal on ubuntu to liquorix kernel [03:17] ParkerR: Well, he could have removed himself from the admin group accidentally. [03:17] reasson* [03:17] Flannel, tis true [03:17] I cant think right now [03:18] Good ight everyone [03:18] *night [03:18] Good night ParkerR [03:18] Thelmaria: is there a way to do that via ssh? I only have access to that right now. [03:18] Thanks gry [03:19] Superdave321: Do you have access to the server ? [03:19] dear dave im boring about you [03:20] Thelmaria: .....yes... i have it in a location where it's easiest to leave it headless, but I can go get it and hook it up to a moniter.. [03:20] lavagolemking: i'm going to bed, but try asking people in the following rooms: #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-devel, #ubuntu-power-users, #ubuntu-quality, #ubuntuforums [03:21] linux_is_my_hero: Thanks. Still looking around... [03:21] hello can anyone give me information on how to setup KGpg for encryption? [03:22] or more specifically, why KGpg will not open even though it is installed === FourDoll1rs is now known as FourDollars [03:24] Lavagolemking: #ubuntu-devel is not a support channel. [03:24] lol [03:24] oo? [03:24] Pici: I'm not in #ubuntu-devel. [03:24] well it is sorta [03:24] the bootup sequence on my machine is halted with the message "Soft lockup detected on CPU#1" & then when I try to alter the bootup statements in grub the message "alloc magic is broken at ...." [03:24] diffrent type of support [03:24] Lavagolemking: Just following linux_is_my_hero's advice :) [03:25] Pici: Thanks. [03:25] appears. Is this evidence of data corruption or hardware failure? [03:25] Pici: I'm going to try replacing "deinstall" with "install" then dpkg --set-selections < /tmp/dpkg_list and see if that fixes anything. [03:26] Book_: I would run memtest to check for bad RAM. [03:26] Lavagolemking: good luck :) [03:26] installer promised it will restore previously installed applications, but was not able to. Is everything in ubuntu disfunctional like that? [03:26] Sure hope "install" is the right keyword... [03:27] Jordan_U: I did run memtest & it completed several runs w/o errors [03:27] Book_: Have you checked the drive's SMART data? [03:28] Do I have to give up certain software when I switch from Gnome/KDE to LXDE ? Can I use the same software ? [03:28] E3D3: You can use the same software. [03:28] Thanks Jordan_U [03:28] E3D3: You're welcome. [03:28] Jordan_U: the HDD passed the quick test but I did not do an extensive test of the HDD for fear of losing data [03:30] Book_: Is this a fresh install? [03:30] Hi everybody. I have what I think might be a simple question. I have a Gateway laptop that is five years old. It has an internal wifi card. Some time ago, I had a newer PC that did not have wifi at all and bought a CISCO Linksys AE1000 card. It works via USB and is much better wireless technology. I think I've installed the thing. My computer definitely sees it with lsusb. But I'm wondering how to put it in use. It would be a lot better th [03:30] an the internal wireless card. [03:31] Jordan_U: No, this is not.. I've tried booting up w/ a liveCD and the bootup process is halted as well [03:31] Could you please help me figure this out? I think it's a simple question of a command I don't know how to do. [03:32] Book_: Have you been able to boot from the same LiveCD on this machine in the past? [03:32] how to identify which image mounted to specified loopback [03:33] jinu: losetup -a [03:33] (10.04) my volume control goes from 0 to 100% in about 10% of the volume slider - any ideas? [03:33] Jordan_U: Yes, I have been able to bootup a liveCD in the past. [03:33] I don't mean to interrupt anything, of course. I'd just like help. It's not an epic question, thankfully. [03:33] Book_: This particular LiveCD? [03:33] !ask | dzeremis1 [03:33] I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 en simple. [03:33] dzeremis1: 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. :-) [03:34] Jordan_U: 11.04 on a flash drive [03:34] ubottu: Hokey doke. [03:35] Jordan_U: What does that mean? [03:35] dzeremis1: Its a trigger to tell ubottu to say something [03:35] !bot [03:35] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [03:35] Pici: Thanks for telling me. [03:36] dzeremis1: np :) [03:36] :-) [03:36] Jordan_U: in the past I've been able to bootup w/ 11.04 on a flash drive [03:36] what does an unauthenticated linux header file mean when running apt-get upgrade? [03:36] In a nutshell: in Ubuntu 11.04, I'm using one wireless device. I think I have a new one installed correctly. What would I do to enable it? [03:38] how do I access other drives in the terminal? [03:39] hatch, cd /media [03:39] ls [03:39] to see what is there then cd to what you want [03:40] ParkerR: ahh perfect [03:40] so is it 'mounted' to those folders then? [03:40] Yep [03:41] hello [03:41] thanks === support_ is now known as karmst77 [03:42] I'm debating on whether or not to switch my primary workstation to Ubuntu [03:42] however, I'm having a hard time finding replacements for certain applications before I do so [03:43] what does everyone use for web development and graphics manipulation? [03:43] karmst77: GIMP [03:43] Is there an Adobe Master Suite replacement? [03:44] karmst77: AFAIK GIMP is it [03:44] karmst77: right now I switch back to win7 to use my Adobe CS, but thats because I paid way to much for it to just switch to gimp :) [03:44] but I do all the coding in ubuntu [03:44] karmst77: Master Suite is an assemblage of various programs, there isn't a bundled set of programs like that, no. But there are individual ones. Inkscape for vector graphics, GIMP (or others) for raster graphics, etc, etc. [03:45] illDecree: would wine work for karmist77? [03:45] Superdave321: dunno. never tried it. i do very little image manip ... [03:45] Superdave321: i'd definitely try it though [03:46] karsten, I use Photoshop. Runs nicely in wine [03:46] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14514&iTestingId=33545 [03:47] Photoshop CS5 runs flawlessly [03:47] http://i.imgur.com/fvRWF.jpg [03:48] ParkerR: did you just do a typical install? [03:48] PRIVMSG [03:48] including all the plugins? [03:48] karsten, I believe so although I dont do any major major editing [03:48] hatch, yeah [03:49] thats crazy I didn't even think of trying it :D [03:49] Can [03:49] does virtualization work well in Ubuntu? [03:49] Well this isnt running in virtualbox or a vm [03:49] Its running in linux [03:49] I have noticed some odd layout issues with firefox 6 and ubuntu vs ff6 in win7 though [03:50] karsten, but yes it does [03:50] hatch, relevant http://i.imgur.com/C0g1D.jpg [03:50] I mean can other OSes run well without issues using ubuntu as the host and vmware workstation with multiple VMs as the guest? [03:50] Yeah they run just fine [03:51] Ive tried XP and Vista in vmware player [03:51] does ubuntu have a HCL somewhere? [03:51] thats not under a vm either? [03:51] hatch, nope wine [03:51] or a utility to make sure your hardware is compatible? [03:51] very cool [03:51] karmst77, usually if you have a good graphics chip and decent RAM you should be fine [03:52] i'm running natty (11.04) and i am wondering how to change a program's icon (when alt+tabbing) to a custom one (specifically for a custom firefox install). right now it shows a generic icon (black background, and a deny icon) [03:52] Hello!

Don't want to install it on here. Want to put it on my father's computer. [05:39] acrousey: couldn't you just simply boot up from a live cd and then run 'make startup disk'? [05:40] I've done this but never on a Mac [05:40] @Pirsch, I don't have any live cd's around. And no cd's to burn unfortunately [05:41] acrousey: ah, I see. The only other thing I can think of is using a virtual drive (maybe) [05:42] acrousey, whats on the dads computer now? [05:42] hi === zone is now known as Guest64326 [05:42] i need some help ? [05:42] @urlin2u, Hell... I mean Vista [05:42] acrousey: please take a look at this page and do a search for "Mac" sould be the first thing that comes up. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for you. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [05:43] acrousey, use vista a unetbootin, much easier. [05:43] anand [05:43] Agreed [05:43] MUch easier [05:43] Hello, can anyone tell me how to start Envy in 11.04? [05:44] Pirsch: have you tried typing 'envy' in terminal? [05:44] Pirsch, what is envy? [05:44] I need to solve a graphics problem fast. I have my office convinced to switch to ubuntu [05:44] Yes, I've tried all the commands, nothing happens [05:44] @urlin2u and JokesOnYou77, would i be able to completely wipe the machine and install only ubuntu on it that way? [05:44] Envy is a program that identifies graphics and installs drivers [05:45] i want share folder in ubuntu and windows user can past file or foler but delete or overwrite how to do that? [05:45] acrousey, the install will wipe it, windows and ubuntu are just easier to load thumbs on.. [05:45] are there good alternative mplayer terminal ui's, perhaps one with a progress bar? [05:46] acrousey: Yes. You would use ImgBurn, or Unibootin to make a love CD or USB and then install Ubuntu to the PC and in the installation process you can reformat the drive [05:46] Pirsch: you couldn't have tried very hard....http://linuxers.org/howto/how-install-nvidiaati-graphic-cards-drivers-ubuntu-using-envy-ng [05:46] Guest64326, generarly a shred ntfs partition is used, if on the same computer [05:46] Guest64326, Ask that again, please. What do you want the Windows users to be able to do? [05:46] hey, i noticed the wifi applet doesnt appear if i switch from one user to another. anyone know why? [05:46] shared* [05:47] they can copy or past a file or folder but not delete or overwrite [05:47] uabn93, open the edit and click availbe to all users [05:47] thor: I have been trying, still am, but these things are not working,.... yet [05:47] adv thank you python [05:47] urlin2u, I see that now. I might have to put both on his computer with a thumb though. Vista doesn't want to acknowledge his internet connection [05:48] thor: to add to my difficulties, I reside in China. ;) [05:48] any idea ? [05:48] acrousey, down load the ISO transfer it with the unetbootin download , and load the thumb, use the thumb to transfer . [05:49] Pirsch: that link tells you how to start and use envy in ubuntu [05:49] Thanks Thor. I'm still waiting for it to open. I think a proxy site just might open it [05:50] i want share folder in ubuntu and windows user can past file or foler in that but not to delete or overwrite the same how to do that? [05:51] urlin2u: checked and its already enabled for all. the wifi applet never shows up on a different account [05:51] if any one interested please guide me [05:51] uabn93, what's the desktops? [05:52] uabn93, and are both gettibg wifi? [05:52] getting [05:53] urlin2u: the first account i log into is classic, and i tried switching between unity and classic on the second. only the first gets wifi. the second is missing an applet [05:53] Guest64326, I am looking. It is an unusual request, but I am looking for an answer. [05:53] uabn93, unity is missing the applet? [05:54] but in centos its already configure phython !! [05:54] urlin2u: yep [05:54] uabn93, any others missing, and have you tweaked compiz? [05:54] I am new to linux I want make sync to both pc [05:55] urlin2u: im pretty sure it worked before. I'll check that out. no, verything else works fine [05:56] i remeber being able to create compressed folders in ubuntu before, what's changed [05:56] Guest64326, This purports to setup just like you want http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2001-October/030781.html [05:57] Q: How do you create compressed folders on ubuntu? [05:57] Python thank you !! i will try [05:57] drawmeat: use archive manager [05:58] tar and bzip2 are used to create compressed sets of files. Nautilus treats them like directories. [05:58] drawmeat, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression maybe? [05:59] r u there Python ? [05:59] Guest64326, Are you talking to me? [05:59] drawmeat, also a right click-compress [06:00] in this case once who create file or folder he is able to delete but for me only root should have permission [06:00] r u getting [06:00] urlin2u, worked great thank you [06:01] Guest64326: what [06:01] Guest64326, In the example, the special user can delete files or directories, but not the normal users. Root or anyone with sudo access could also delete files. [06:02] who here uses firefox? [06:02] jen_: Plenty of people. [06:02] ok i try now and get back ! [06:02] ok how can I switch from tabs using the keyboard only? [06:03] I like to just use the keyboard for stuff [06:03] control+tab [06:03] jen_: CTRL + PageUP/PageDOWN [06:03] jen_: ctrl + shift + ta [06:03] jen_: ctrl + shift + tab [06:03] oh ok [06:03] Plenty people, I promised! :-) [06:04] up arrow rght arrow/left [06:04] thats sweet thanks :D [06:04] oh! [06:04] ctrl-tab [06:04] i have another question [06:04] lemme think of how to desrcibe it though.. [06:05] Help! Closing youtube tabs freezes my ubuntu!

[06:07] I cannot watch youtube videos because everytime I close a tab with a vid in it my pc freezes [06:07] everything>? [06:07] I am still wondering how to do Magic sysrq in a Vbox. [06:07] What browser? [06:07] PythonPup, the power button works, and so does Jordan_U 's suggestion [06:07] firefox [06:07] stealz, the fix would be to uninstall flash. Use html5 for youtube. I have never seen a problem like you describe. I have never installed flash. [06:07] have you tried any other browsers? [06:08] ok so on my old ubuntu before I had to re-install my mouse would automatically (without clicking) just go to type in someone when I would scroll over it. I really love that feature but I dont know how I got it. Anyone know how to fix this? [06:08] PythonPup, I use html5 but I have to login for it to work. If I leave a window open and restart firefox my system freezes [06:08] PythonPup, and I use flash for other sites, too [06:09] mukti, not really, but I dont really want to tbh, I run dualboot and its perfectly synced between my 2 os [06:09] You don't have to login to use html5. You just have to visit the right page and press the button that says you want to join the trial. [06:10] PythonPup, I did that [06:10] PythonPup, but it will only use the html5 player when I am logged in [06:10] stealz, I was just wondering if the problem was with the browser, or if it was something else. [06:10] I use it and I have never logged into youtube. [06:10] PythonPup, I never get a crash when I am logged in, but everytime the page loads and I am not logged in [06:11] jen_: ? [06:11] i DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM. [06:11] PythonPup, maybe its because I dont store my cookies [06:11] mukti, good point, I will try another browser [06:11] what would you recommend with 10.04? [06:11] Chrome? [06:12] sure, it shouldn't really matter [06:12] I do have to enable them for youtube. That is annoying, because I normally disable cookies, too. But, if you are a Flash user, you are fooling yourself if you think disabling cookies helps much. Flash is way too friendly to people who want to do nasty things to your computer. [06:13] yeah I've read so [06:13] anyone recognize this console twitter client? http://dotshare.it/public/images/uploads/91.png [06:13] Running Noscript, and might wanna use something to get rid of flash cookies [06:13] Why do I need a Gnats Bug-Reporting System as I can use Apport? [06:14] stealz, have you tried another browser yet? [06:15] mukti, no just looking for one [06:15] oh [06:15] dont have any other installed [06:15] FreezingCold: "[08:07] What does Ubuntu compile in its kerne;?" <-- What do you want to know? [06:16] stealz, just do chrome or opera [06:16] mukti, just downloading chromium === root is now known as Guest73605 [06:19] ok [06:19] I got disconnected for a sec [06:19] anyone know how to set the mouse to scrollover? [06:19] wb [06:19] thanks [06:20] I just realized something weird. I didnt have html5 enabled, but logging in still fixed the crashes [06:20] Ok...so I cannot figure out how to give the second user account on my system access to a USB external drive that is on NTFS [06:22] scrollover what? [06:22] glisstech: remount it with umask=000 [06:23] ok, so chromium doesnt crash my system [06:23] so its more of a firefox issues [06:23] Is that second user a member of the plugdev group, glisstech [06:24] ok for my mouse if I scrollover with my mouse it automatically lets me type [06:24] pythonPup: Yes the user is a member of the plugdev group === viktor5675675756 is now known as Mr_Necromancer [06:25] there is so much broken stuff in ubuntu these days. [06:26] umm [06:26] if you go slightly outside the standard packages [06:26] glisstech, I thought that would be it. Have you looked at the pmount program? [06:26] I tried to install and use xdm last week. completely shot. [06:27] xpdf crashes on any pdf [06:27] PythonPup: cant say that I have...really just switched to Ubuntu about 3 months ago [06:27] type where? === MosquitoOo is now known as MaWaLe [06:28] in a browser? in a chat client? where? on the desktop? [06:28] I really need help with a graphics problem. Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize my graphics card [06:29] It's an integrated [06:29] it keeps making radical changes with their core packages, with all kinds of unintended consequences everywhere else [06:29] i'm guessing [06:30] Pirsch: right click your desktop, change desktop background > visual effects, do you have 3 or 4 options? [06:30] hi guys [06:31] Why do I need a Gnats Bug-Reporting System as I can use Apport? [06:31] oh wait brb [06:31] then goto system > admin > additional drivers, see whats listed/enabled [06:31] linuxrealm: themes, backgrounds, fonts,... only [06:31] anyone know how to fix my simple problem? [06:31] no visual effects? [06:31] editing the mouse so whenever I scroll over something I dont have to click to type [06:32] open a terminal, type: less /etc/lsb-release [06:32] a wee lazy I am but its usefull sometimes [06:32] jen_: something like what? where? [06:32] glisstech, Have you checked the User Priviledges for the second user to see that access external storage devices automatically is turned on? [06:32] I used to be able to just scrollover with my mouse to be able to type and not have to click [06:32] linuxrealm: no visual effects [06:32] PythonPup: Nope...where do I check that? [06:33] its useful if I have to use the terminal and have mulitple windows up [06:33] Pirsch: then goto system > admin > additional drivers, see whats listed/enabled [06:33] nothing serious but id just like to know how to get that back [06:33] hey guys quick question: is there an API for the power manager (for vala) ? [06:33] glisstech, System/Administration/Users and Groups. Are you running Gnome or Unity? [06:33] PythonPup: found it...and yes it is checked === erry^ is now known as erry [06:34] linuxrealm: I tried that yesterday, last night, and this morning. No drivers available [06:34] jen_: check mouse properties in Control Panel [06:34] PythonPup: Gnome...just not really all that impressed by unity [06:34] hi all. i have a problem with the unity desktop. basically, it fails to load on login. my problem is pretty much exactly the one described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34622/faulty-unity-session/58323 [06:34] linuxrealm: if I had 10.04 iso, I'd just go back to that. [06:34] any idea how to reset unity so i can use it again? [06:34] Pirsch: lspci and look for what card you have [06:34] gnome session works fine [06:35] glisstech, Unity is much better if you get rid of the global menus. I still use Gnome on most systems, though. [06:35] hi [06:36] My Ubuntu Server install isn't getting an IP Address from DHCP. What can I do? [06:36] Pirsch: lspci and look for what card you have [06:36] linuxrealm: it's integrated and unfortunately not listed [06:38] Pirsch: goto ubuntu help and type: integrated graphic card, see what pops up [06:38] PythonPup:I am sure its fine when you get used to it...having just switched from Windows, I am not that familiar with the admin tools, and that makes it just a bit difficult to find them in unity [06:38] Pirsch, what do you see when you run lspci | grep VGA [06:38] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [06:39] urlin2u: sysinfo says the same [06:39] glisstech, Good luck. As you learn it, I think you will grow to like it more and more. But, there is some learning involved, no doubt. [06:40] PythonPup:I am a Windows sysadmin, so I am picking most things up pretty quick. Some stuff that is very straightforward in Windows, is more complex in Ubuntu. Like Mounting a USB drive [06:42] glisstech, It is fairly simple to manually mount the usb drive. You might want to know how to do that as a backup. [06:42] hi Python [06:42] urlin2u: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [06:42] mounting an usb drive is pretty easy, you just plug it in [06:43] zagibu, Usually that works. Not always. [06:43] well, what do you do if it doesn't work on windows? [06:43] I have done everthing but not it is asking password i use guest account as nobody [06:43] zagibu: under my user, that is true...problem I am having, is that under a second account on the same system...I can't seem to figure out how to allow access to the drive [06:44] glisstech: compare group settings... [06:44] also, how did you create this second user? [06:45] no its not working for me !! [06:46] zagibu:second user is in the same groups as my user, created as an administrator using System/Administration/Users and Groups [06:46] using newest ubuntu? [06:46] can anyone tell me, if /dev is basically pre-loaded with ALL supported devices, what's the easy way to list only the ones in use? [06:47] Morgz: lspci [06:47] lshw [06:47] ha - cheers [06:47] lsd [06:47] lspisspopd [06:47] zagibu: 11.04 Natty logging into Ubuntu Classic desktop [06:48] gonna try to recreate your problems === brendan_ is now known as Guest54900 === anthony is now known as anth0ny [06:48] glisstech: two files pretty much control what users can/cannot do, they are /etc/passwd and /etc/group pretty straight forward compared to the world of windows admin. if you simply edit these files particulary group, you issues will majically go away. however, some claim using a cmd to do things for you, will not teach you morea bout how much access you really have with linux when manually doing things. you will learn loads. [06:49] i wanna know the difference between wmii and dwm. which one is more advanced and which one is better and has more features? [06:49] well yeah, but i'd stick with the GUI tools at first...the cmd opens up a whole new world of stuff to learn [06:49] be sure to backup the origunals of those files.. ;) [06:50] unix/linux is very well documented, and Howtos are all over help.ubuntu.com. you will be amazed at how simple to complex tasks are step by step. you will have no problems. its all about keyword searching though, so for your issue, it would be, user mount usb drive, something like that [06:50] linuxrealm:yea, I get that. I have installed and broken and fixed and broken and reinstalled, then updated which broke stuff and had to reinstall again === Taftse2 is now known as Taftse [06:50] I have already learned alot, and tend to use the cli more than the gui even in windows for most tasks [06:51] which minimal window manager is less minimal you mean crking [06:51] glisstech: just a tip, dont always upgrade, turn that off! only upgrade after say 6 months, when all the bugs are fixed by people who can report them pproperlly. [06:51] glisstech: referring to the kernel [06:51] What are some popular menu replacements for Ubuntu? I used to have one that I liked but I can't remember the name, it had a search built into it (I want to say the name was something like Calibiri, but obviously not the font. Also, it wasn't Beagle). Any ideas? [06:52] dr-willis, put it this way. in land of tilling WMs. which on has more features. in plain language; which one is better ? (wmii or dwm) [06:52] crking: don't forget awsome [06:53] anth0ny, menu replacements? like a launcher? gnome-do? [06:53] linuxrealm:good advice...I do believe I will stick to an LTS release for my work box, and use VirtualBox to play with other distros and new releases of Ubuntu [06:53] ItBlends, you know what? I think I found it, it was Cardapio [06:53] glisstech: there are lots of programs you may find interesting that are not maintained or support by ubuntu update, therefore, errata is important to read when upgrading anything, what was fixed, what is still broken or is not mentioned. its pretty serious do upgrades. however, as you progress, you will see what you can and should not upgrade. [06:54] its all relatve. just have to try them and read their docs and swe what you like crking . they all annoy me too much. so i use jwm. [06:54] there a 1400 plus users here, if you stick around surely someone in here will assist, however, you may also want to hit up the #linux room. more helpful at times [06:55] dr-willis, hi sir. if you like that taste better i recommend you use fvwm [06:56] linuxrealm: thanks for the tip, I have found that this community is mostly helpful, though like anywhere I do see some bad apples every so often. But most generally far more willing to help than the typical Windows admin [06:56] used most all that exist crking . it all demends on my needs at the time. [06:57] glisstech: agreed [06:57] good luck [06:57] yal come back now and see us, yehear [06:57] * crking wmii vs dwm??? any ideaS [07:01] I have a question, Gnome 2 still supported custom login themes correct? [07:02] No one is available? [07:04] haha [07:04] haha what? [07:05] hi does anyone know how to enable usb support in qemu [07:05] yes [07:06] ah, there are folks around - Does Gnome 2 support custom login themes? [07:06] mostly chown [07:07] mostly chown -R username /prob/bus/usb [07:07] m1h0: i noticed in virtualbox for example, the ose version had issues but the program from the site allowed,,, maybe this is the same in qemu [07:07] did you load qemu from software center? or tar gz? [07:07] i use virt-manager [07:07] from software center [07:08] ok, so from ubuntu. maybe im right , dunno yet, havent tried qemu yet [07:08] also turn off the device: stop bluetooth, and let qemu grab device directly [07:08] m1h0: http://firmit.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/qemu-with-usb-support/ [07:11] this is an issue, the maintainers not setting these things prior to putting in software center. === lion42_ is now known as lion42 [07:12] So no one knows about gnome's custom login compatibility? [07:12] Is there some way to make notification message leave the screen in less than the hour or two it seems like they stay now? [07:13] I just installed openjdk-6-jdk but when I do dpkg --get-selections | grep java it doesn't show up in the list..am I doing the search wrong? [07:13] java-common is in there though [07:13] hi, someone try install drivers from nvidia website? i have nvidia gt525m (optimus) in laptop and with default installed drivers glxinfo shows Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig etc. Its good idea to install this drivers from nvidia? [07:13] hatch: dpkg --get-selections | grep jdk [07:13] PythonPup, if you look on the web you will find references to a ppa, otherwise on the stock system no. [07:14] hatch: where did you get it? software center? [07:14] gry2: oh there we go :) can I delete java-common with this jdk installed? [07:14] apt-get [07:14] 10.04 [07:14] try | less -c [07:14] also, grep -i java [07:14] hatch: Try to do so, you will be told if it's otherwise. [07:15] urlin2u, OK. I will look for it. I guess it adds a config option. I saw you mention ppa earlier, but I did not understand. Thanks. [07:15] hatch: just a tip about java, i would install it from: http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en and just it manually [07:15] and rid ubuntu of all java [07:15] just a tip [07:15] make sure your pcmcia stuff is on, and X11 has properly probed stuff [07:15] PythonPup, cool not ecrybody knows the refrence [07:15] linuxrealm: yeah better version? [07:15] check /var/log/Xorg.log something [07:15] linuxrealm: It _does_ depend on what app it's being used for. Some apps need a certain version and will die out on other versions. [07:15] I need java for Netbeans :) [07:16] it just works better, im not a java programmer, however, i have noticed when it comes to java and linux, that link has worked best for me for the most uses [07:16] gry2 agreed [07:16] Netbeans might die out if it asks apt and finds that java isn't available from there, but it depends. [07:17] Hi, how do I see which swap file is being used? [07:17] Like I know there's a swap file, but not where it is. [07:17] yeah I just removed java-common and it took everything else with it, trying to install the openjdk again [07:17] PythonPup, here is what I found, https://encrypted.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=+way+to+make+notification+message+leave+the+screen+ubuntu&btnG=Search [07:17] http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en [07:18] blarg what junk, its still super laggy [07:18] follow all the steps too [07:18] little tricky [07:18] hi === mis is now known as Guest3679 [07:18] hi [07:19] Hi. [07:19] glisstech: I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 created user1, then logged in and created user2 using gnome classic admin tools, logged out as user1, logged in as user2, plugged in USB stick and it worked just fine [07:19] urlin2u, Thanks. I will try it after I bring my Natty machine back up. [07:19] I am not able to share the folder can you help me [07:20] cat /proc/swaps [07:20] linuxrealm: ok I'll try a few more avenues before I call it quits :) [07:20] glisstech: you probably broke something [07:20] ok, so i have Ubuntu 10.4 LTS running as a xen guest. For some reason during the bootup, it says unknown partition table. Im a bit confused though as there shouldnt be a partition table. Any ideas why that might be? [07:20] python I my share folder is asking password ? i did asper that url [07:21] is there any one who can guide me set samab on ubuntu I am new to this [07:21] MACscr. Sure, there should be a partition table. The virtual machine sees a disk and partitions just like a real machine. At least, in VirtualBox they do. I expect XEN is the same. [07:22] Guest3679 [07:22] yes [07:22] me !! [07:22] Python: my point is that there are no partitions. The OS is one disk and the swap is another [07:22] can i explain what i have done? [07:22] Guest3679, I can help you with some basic samba setup. You just want to share a directory, right? [07:23] see I have install ubuntu in 80gb wiht /boot and / , swap then i add 250gb hdd with ntfs partion on that [07:23] What does gnome compile in the kernel of the LiveCD? [07:23] Is there a guide out there for setting up Ubuntu as a calendar/email sever? I want to use it as a way my family can share calendar events, mostly, but local email would be great too [07:23] *What does Ubuntu [07:23] later i install samba4 [07:24] r u there! python? [07:24] where would i go for utouch-related support? [07:24] What does Ubuntu compile in the kernel of the LiveCD? [07:24] i created folder in /opt name test wiht chmod 6777 === headyadmin_ is now known as headyadmin [07:25] Guest3679, 1st, if you refer to me, use my proper handle, or I am likely to miss the message. Second, uninstall samba4 and install samba. Third, please tell me you don't plan to do a lot of reads and writes under Ubuntu to an NTFS disk. [07:25] arm cortex a8 Timer 0 SP804 any sample C code ? [07:25] ok [07:26] busy day? [07:26] Guest3679, samba4 is really more for experimenting with. It is not production ready. [07:26] PythonPup: I use a shared NTFS data partition and plan to do many writes to it. Should I not? [07:26] pythonPup shall i uninstall samba4 ? [07:27] PythonPup !!and this is new thing do u mean to say ntfs don't support for samba [07:27] I would not trust Linux with a NTFS disk for more than trivial writes. It is great for reading. NTFS is not documented well. [07:27] ah [07:28] Guest3679, samba and ntfs are separate issues. Anything the system can read and write reliably, samba can share. NTFS under Linux is just not a good idea [07:28] PythonPup: Do you know anything about uTouch or know what channel I can go to to get support? [07:29] PythonPup !!ok let me know which file system is sutiable for samaba [07:29] I have never heard of uTouch, rectec794613 [07:29] PythonPup: I have been having some issues because I didn't understand how to set the mounting parameters when I installed. I'm going to repartition and set up RAID 1 in a week or 2 but I was planning on sticking with NTFS for the shared partition as I still use Windows about 60% of the time [07:29] im confused, are you writing to ntfs or ntfs to linux? [07:30] If you have a better suggestion I'd be open to it [07:30] ext3/4? what? [07:30] reiser? [07:30] PythonPup: It's a multitouch trackpad gesture recognition tool for Ubuntu. Well I'll ask around as I see you have a lot of work to do :) [07:30] Guest3679, Any normal Linux filesystem. I usually talk over with people how they plan to use their system before we pick a filesystem. I suppose if I had to pick one, I'd go with XFS. Certainly not ext3 or 4. [07:31] rectec794613, That sounds like it could be a handy device. Good luck. [07:31] Persistence... Ok so anybody hear know how I can get uTouch up and running? [07:32] rectec794613: up and running under ubuntu? [07:32] linuxrealm: yes [07:32] stick around, someone will help out [07:32] may take a while [07:32] k [07:33] There's not a special channel for this type of stuff? [07:33] rectec794613: I don't know, but I've heard of it, and if you do get it figured out I would be extremely grateful if you could post a quick guide on the Ubuntu forums for those who come after you :) [07:33] JokesOnYou77, NTFS filesystems can be read fine in Linux. I use Ubuntu to recover data off of them with no problem. A little writing is even ok. But a lot of writing tends to lead to corrupted NTFS volumes in my experience. I would never set one up that way. [07:33] PythonPuP I am getting this error while createing filesystem [07:34] Error creating file system: Cannot run mkfs: cannot spawn 'mkfs.xfs -L "data" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkfs.xfs" (No such file or directory) [07:34] JokesOnYou77: Sure we'll see. I've noticed the shear lack of guides and/or interest on ubuntu multitouch. Would be glad to help out people. [07:34] i think PythonPup meant on other linux distros not ubuntu, currently ubuntu defaults to ext4. if your mounting a diff fs, then thats a diff thing [07:35] Guest3679, Only root can make a filesystem, generally. You need to do that as sudo. And, be very careful to specify the right partition. [07:35] It is in fact a multitouch trackpad. Windows came preinstalled on my machine with Sintellic's utility [07:35] yes I have login in with root only [07:35] linuxrealm, I don't ever use ext4. I know it has some uses, but I don't trust it. [07:35] Damn I hate the trackpad, though lol [07:36] PythonPup yes I have login in with root only [07:36] rectec794613: hard to add hardware when not on the box, me only, lol. [07:37] PythonPup: im not that advanced to be picking about a fs lol [07:37] PythonPup: Do you have a good suggestion for a file system to use for my shared data partition? I use it to store virtually all filetypes, text, pictures, music, some video (most movies are on an external), and I use my system for all sorts of things. But I continue to use Windows so that I can use SolidWorks, Mathematica, Matlab, WinEdt, and Netfilx. If I can get it working, my new setup... [07:37] ...will use ViruaBox to run each OS as a vmdk in the other OS [07:38] Guest3679, so the command you should issue is something like mkfs -t xfs /dev/sdb1 [07:38] linuxrealm: I think the hardware is fine, I ran evtest on event7, and found out that that was the trackpad [07:38] JokesOnYou77: solidworks, thats pretty advanced cad stuff there [07:38] JokesOnYou77, What type of data will you be storing? Will there be a lot of files in any 1 directory? How large a files? [07:38] rectec794613: My desire is to get either a magic trackpad to work or, preferably, get my android phone to function as a magic trackpad :) [07:39] Whats a good program for ubuntu to find and clean duplicate files ? I have a bunch of pdfs and pictures that are the same but have different file names. [07:39] sighs, i dont have a trackpad or android to play with.... [07:39] PythonPup Is on /dev/sdb but still error [07:39] JokesOnYou77: What exactly is a magic trackpad? I've heard about it but I don't know what it is. [07:40] PythonPup: i use xfs on bsd. mounting no problem. but linux, i havent tried or had the need to yet, let alone know the differences lol [07:40] i figure the maintainers chose the fs for a reason per distro [07:40] linuxrealm, Most people won't see a problem with ext3 or 4. I understand that. I have seen major problems with either. I also consider both to be unfinished hacks. But, I think the filesystem discussion may be deemed off topic here. [07:41] Can't even figure out how to start utouch [07:41] Running "utouch" doesn't work... [07:41] PythonPup: I will be storing all filetypes, with no particular preference: documents, large raw spreadsheets, 100s of pdfs, then pictures, and mybe 50GB of music, then videos, and about 25 GB of iso files. I will have many large (3 GB+) continuous files. [07:41] I assume you have to configure something, maybe get a service started. But what? [07:42] Guest3679, please do a fdisk -l /dev/sdb and post the results to a pastebin. [07:42] rectec794613: It's a lttle piece of Apple goodness: http://www.apple.com/magictrackpad/ [07:43] JokesOnYou77: oh yeah, I saw people using that on some youtube videos [07:43] hello [07:43] from the hell [07:43] <_vaibhav_> I have my hp laserjet 1020 printer, and its driver(.ko) file, i just want to make it work as when i connect my printer it should automatically load my driver module, can you please suggest me how i can acheive this? [07:43] JokesOnYou77: Would be stupid to use a trackpad on a desk if not for OS X being so gesture-centric [07:44] use windows [07:44] JokesOnYou77, I'd probably go xfs in your case. ext3 is definitely out. reaiser3 might be OK, although I need to check one thing before I'd go with that. [07:44] PythonPup ! r u there? [07:44] cpe22: I use doors, thank you very much [07:44] Guest3679, No, I am here. [07:44] hey guys does anyone know if it is possible to recursively replace all the _'s in filename with a space using bash? [07:45] PythonPup!!I am getting same error [07:45] rectec794613: I use a projector and XBMC and other media center apps and I'd really love a getture-type trackpad to control them. Next step is really just to use a Wii-mote, but I'd really prefer to use my phone for everything :P [07:45] Guest3679, please do a fdisk -l /dev/sdb and post the results to a pastebin. [07:46] fuzzybunny69y1, why recursively? [07:46] The newest kernels have support for the kinect. Why even hold a remote. Use gestures. [07:46] rectec794613: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch [07:46] middle of page [07:46] fuzzybunny69y1: It is possible, tho I don't actually know how. But there is a good reason there are _s and not spaces, It's so that they can be read as a single file name, very important to some applications [07:46] Lint: I have all these files in folders that have _'s that I want to replace with spaces [07:47] PythonPup how to do that pastbin ? [07:47] yes, for f in *.ext;do f2="echo $f | sed \"s/_/ /g\"";mv -i "$f" "$f2";done [07:47] crap [07:47] PythonPup !!I mean how to use Pastbin [07:47] I am trying to compare the files and it won't for if they have different names [07:47] linuxrealm: already there... ok I'll look closely. Lemme get my Compiz brand magnifying glass [07:47] sudo apt-get install pastebinit [07:47] check out the man, cool prog [07:47] Guest3679, go to pastebin.com in your web browser. Paste your data into the big box. Press create and give me the URL here. [07:48] Why did 11.04 change the location of dhcpd.conf? [07:48] erm, f2="`echo $f | sed \"s/_/ /g\"`" [07:48] !kernel natty [07:48] PythonPup: I've never heard of reaiser, what would you need to check? [07:48] !version [07:48] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [07:48] where is dhcpd.conf now ? [07:48] Hey guys, I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and was wondering which guides are the best too look at for beginners? [07:48] BarBlitz: locate dhcpd.conf [07:49] whereis dhcpd.conf [07:49] linuxrealm: So uTouch doesn't support the ol' Sintellic's? [07:49] PythonPup !! http://pastebin.com/9xkVv8pA [07:49] i have not clue rectec794613 just did a quick google to get you started [07:49] uname tells me I'm on 3.0.0-7, is it normal? [07:49] JokesOnYou77, reiser3 is a nice filesystem, that has a couple of downsides. It is very good with large numbers of files. I don't remember what the maximum filesize it can handle is. [07:49] Thanks [07:50] I'm on Slackware [07:50] BarBlitz: was that command for me to run [07:50] for f in *.ext;do f2="`echo $f | sed \"s/_/ /g\"`";mv -i "$f" "$f2";done [07:50] that one [07:50] myn is in /etc [07:51] Guest3679, So, what error do you get when doing the mkfs command I gave you? [07:51] linuxrealm: Wouldn't be surprised if they aren't. Would be nice if they did, because that would mean every single MSI laptop/netbook user would be able to use multitouch on ubuntu [07:51] erm /usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/fs/reiserfs.txt I guess [07:51] PythonPup: Ahh, that is important, like FAT, that's part of why I went with NTFS the first time around. Is there any chance of ext4? [07:51] yes [07:51] change .ext to .mp3 or whatever [07:51] Newbuntu: I have a whole bookmarks folder for you, hang on [07:51] Error creating file system: Cannot run mkfs: cannot spawn 'mkfs.xfs -L "data" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkfs.xfs" (No such file or directory) [07:52] mv -i , will ask y/n for each file [07:52] JokesOnYou77, I have seen ext4 filesystems get corrupt when they fill up. It has been over a year since I did heavy testing. It might be better now. [07:52] what is kernel version on latest ubuntu? [07:52] if you wanna check it, just add echo infront of mv -i [07:53] 3.0.0.9, on Oneiric, Lint [07:53] mkfs -t xfs [07:53] Does anyone know why I keep getting the following error when trying to get Skype from the terminal: E: Invalid operation skype [07:53] Lint, I have 2.6.39-11 [07:53] rectec794613: give it a month, i will come online to linux, and since ubuntu is linux, well, you will be able to use it. just give it sometime, if it isnt already available. search deeper into google is my only suggestion, and multitouch maybe a keyword... its all about keywords lol [07:53] Python1320: oneiric is not the latest version, yet. [07:53] ooops 38 [07:53] PythonPup: ^^ [07:54] Well in the mean time, I got a small problem with my panel applets. I'm missing the me-menu, the one that lets you connect to instant messaging servers, logoff, switch users, shutdown, etc. It shows your username in the panel. [07:54] fair enough.

I'm assuming what it does is push it up to the mail relay that sends it on to the destination mail server. (I don't really understand email's inner workings.) What would be an equivalent package I could use to the do the same thing on an Ubuntu box?

[07:58] PythonPup: Ok, thanks a lot for the info, I'll definitely chek out xfs this time around. But for now, it's time for bed! G'night all! [07:58] really [07:58] Oh well. Hopefully in a few months time, uTouch will start to support MSI laptop touchpads [07:58] Till then, later guys [07:58] er, remove the file, I guess, just rename it, its safer [07:59] Guest3679, First, do a apt-get install xfsprogs === k is now known as Guest53314 [08:00] #android-dev [08:00] Hey :) is there any way to repair the config files for a LAMP-stack, if you're unsure why it's suddenly not working anymore?

Thank you DONE!! filesystem [08:01] PythonPup!! next samba !! [08:01] Hi. I'm busy writing my thesis and I need to do it on MS Word. Many of the functions of word are embedder in the document. So I installed it using wine, unfortunatly when I open some documetns word saves my lasty work and then restarts. It does this over and over again. can any one help [08:01] PythonPup !! I removed samba4 and Instilling samba only is it ok [08:01] Tank852, use virtual machine instead [08:02] Guest3679, No, that's not next. Next we add the filesystem to fstab so it will be there next boot. [08:02] Lint: thats very slow isn't it? [08:02] Guest3679, Yes, uninstall samba4 and install samba [08:02] Tank852: I would use openoffice, while writing, and then edit it before submitting it using a normal windows machine with office, or virtual machine as Lint said [08:02] Tank852, it shouldn't be _very_ slow [08:03] PythonPut How to add filesystem to fstab [08:03] lol, so their isn't a trick to MS office on ubuntu. damn... Okay thanks guys [08:03] Guest3679, post your current /etc/fstab to a pastebin. I'll modify it and send it back to you. [08:04] Tank852, with a paper like that I would not mess around make it easy.

I'm connecting over SSH btw. [08:05] Guest3679, What is the mount point where you want this drive to mount? [08:07] Guest3679, Do you understand my question? [08:07] sudo service ssh restart [08:07] PythonPup !! /dev/sdb1 /opt/data xfs relatime 1 2 is this ok [08:07] id log in with another session first though [08:08] PythonPup !! Mount put I want put in /opt/data because I want share data folder to windows user's [08:08] Yes, that looks fine, Guest3679. You do need to make the directory /opt/data before you can mount. [08:08] visof, are your files on that drive backed up? [08:08] PythonPup! Yes I have done it [08:09] im out [08:09] enjoy [08:09] l8 [08:09] hi [08:09] Guest3679, You will just make an empty directory there. OK, then save the /etc/fstab and reboot. I want to know that the filesystem comes up before we go on. [08:09] visof, are your files on that hard drive backed up? [08:09] lion42: i should backup all files on that harddisk ? [08:09] ... [08:09] lion42: i need to do that [08:09] That would be a no. [08:10] Turn off the computer immediately, take it to a reputable computer repair service or person. [08:10] Do not attempt to back up anything at home if you value your data. [08:10] PythonPup !! I got error on samba have a look mean time I will reboot !! http://pastebin.com/FR0bDcuC [08:10] lion42: ok [08:10] i should turn it off [08:10] <_fury> Is there any grafical diff programm in the ubuntu repository? Sth. like xdiff? [08:10] bye [08:11] _fury: k3diff als see "apt-cache search diff" [08:11] Hey :) is there any way to repair the config files for a LAMP-stack, if you're unsure why it's suddenly not working anymore? I kinda wanna start from scratch, config-wise, without having to re-install it all [08:11] it's the apache2 that doesn't wanna start anymore btw [08:11] <_fury> thank you very much! [08:11] _fury: meld [08:11] _fury: there should be also gvimdiff [08:12] what is the 'backend' process? [08:13] pythonPup !! Overall motive is to rsyn the two pc one (already having centos and folder is share for all windows use who can past the folder&files but no onc can delete any thing in that ) other ubuntu I want to do same thing and sync realtime to safe the data [08:13] I have some backend process using up over 90% of my cpu [08:14] Guest3679, Is english your native language? [08:14] PythonPup !! sorry for that ! [08:14] how does our company site look [08:14] http://142.150.3.96/~sameer/cmg/index_kwiks.html [08:14] any tips? [08:15] slk, put something in the big empty space near the top. The menus work pretty well, though. [08:16] ok [08:16] thank you <3 [08:16] PythonPup!! fine its mounted automatically [08:16] slk, the contact us infor is too hard to read. It needs more contrast with the background. [08:16] ok cool [08:17] PythonPup ! what about samba? [08:17] tp43, top in the termina will show you whats running [08:17] u guys like the logo i made? [08:17] PythonPup, slk: please, this is Ubuntu support channel... [08:18] PythonPup! I have install samba [08:18] Good, Guest3679 please post you /etc/samba/smb.conf to a pastebin. I know it is new, but you are running a different version of Ubuntu than I am, and I want to start from a proper one for you. [08:18] im hosting this on ubuntu [08:18] so its relevant [08:18] slk: no it isn't [08:18] can i make love to u [08:18] your website has nothing to do with Ubuntu support [08:19] slk: logo's good, centre image is too narrow, I'm sorry I don't swing that way. Maybe Madame Palm and her 5 daughters can help you out. [08:20] PythonPup! http://pastebin.com/WHfN8uFB [08:22] I have 10.04 netbook edition and I'm trying to figure out how to install namebar (0.5) for it. I'm only able to find tar.gz files and I don't know how to install them. Help? === zz_RobinJ is now known as RobinJ [08:23] Duelisti, unpack, configure, compile, install [08:25] Oh, should I compress it into another file type, Lint? [08:26] Guest3679, I would start with something like this. [08:26] Duelisti, no, just extract the folder looking like 'somename-1.2.3' [08:27] Guest3679, you probably want to change the sharename, the netbios name, and the hosts allow. But, you likely should put something in each of those. [08:27] PythonPup !! Ok [08:27] An then what, Lint? [08:28] Duelisti, then inspect it contents and see if 'configure' is present [08:29] PythonPop !! I can change sharename !! [08:29] no, there's only themes-folder, GNOME_NameBarApplet and namebar.py [08:30] Duelisti, a deb at the bottom of the page as well. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/namebar-05-gnome-applet-released.html [08:31] It doesn't work, urlin2u [08:31] Duelisti, what doesn't? [08:31] the url to the deb.-file [08:32] well, I'll try the installation instructions there [08:32] Duelisti, I didn't try it hmm I will look some more. [08:34] Could somebody help me? I'm using my father's webcam in my computer, it used to record the voice too, but it seems like if it didn't work in this comp. [08:34] I checked in a terminal if it was detected and it appears here: Bus 004 Device 007: ID 045e:00f7 Microsoft Corp. LifeCam VX-1000 [08:35] Is it possible to use ipsec from the gnome network manager? [08:35] PythonPup!! I will be back with in 10min [08:35] Duelisti, yeah the launchpad version is a tar. [08:36] I got it working with the instruction at the site you gave me [08:36] Thanks a lot [08:37] Duelisti, I figured that would work looked correct. [08:37] yeah [08:38] smw, I am pretty sure the answer is no, at least not yet. You should look for a network manager plugin for ipsec vpns [08:39] PythonPup, yeah, just saw the package network-manager-strongswan. [08:40] could somebody help me? the camera works well, I can take photos in the comp using cheese, but I can't record the voice [08:40] in my father's comp I could record the voice with the cma [08:40] cam* [08:43] Where do you go we you are told to ¨check syslog for diagnostics¨ ? [08:45] Arthur, do you see the camera if you go to the sound preferences in Ubuntu? [08:47] Can someone tell me what the difference is when mounting an iso image with the the command "mount -o loop foo.iso /media" compared to "mount -ro loop foo.iso /media"? [08:47] PythonPup, yeah I do === sena is now known as senayar [08:48] Arthur, is it selected as the current input? If not, try that and see if it records. [08:48] sweener, the r in -ro means read-only [08:49] I've just selected it, but it still records nothing [08:49] hmm [08:49] * szal doesn't think there is a real-world difference.. @ sweener [08:49] Arthur, you may need to adjust the volume. === RobinJ is now known as zz_RobinJ [08:50] Arthur, I don't have a camera. Those are the settings I would look at. [08:50] Moshanator thanks. I assume the -ro option would be the correct way then [08:50] szal is right though, iso filesystems are read-only anyway you mount them [08:51] but yeah, you should know that when mounting anything else [08:52] so I could just mount an iso with the command "mount loop foo.iso /media" [08:53] how come apt-get shows that a package is uninstalled (after i just did apt-get remove but dpkg -l | grep package shows it still being there. [08:53] Arthur, see http://www.whoisdeep.com/2010/09/06/getting-microsoft-lifecam-vx-1000-working-on-ubuntu-skype/ Don't just apply that patch. That is for 10.04 and may not even be the latest. [08:53] i want to force a brand new fresh install of a package (in my case solr-jetty) [08:53] Thanks PythonPup, I'll read it ^^ [08:54] wolfric, in Synaptic, you can choose to reinstall an installed package. [08:54] Arther, the girl is cute, too. [08:54] what is the best programm for remove bad sectors from my hard ? [08:54] PythonPup: i've removed some config files but i've also apt-get removed the package (jetty) however on apt-get install, the config files arne't recreated [08:55] PythonPup: how can i solve this? [08:56] wolfric, I'd start by using Synaptic and doing a completely remove. Then, reinstall. Waht is the package? [08:56] PythonPup: jetty [08:57] sweb, a dremel tool is good. Seriously, the only program I would use is SpinRite from Steve Gibson. [08:59] PythonPup, what about dban ? [08:59] wolfric, I don't do javamuch at all. There seems to be one config file. That probably is recreated fine. But, there is probably some relation to httpd.conf or similar and you will have to work that out by hand, I expect. [08:59] hi I am using lynx in my terminal but it cant display some characters of my language(czech) and I am not sure what to do. [09:00] PythonPup: that worked thanks. is there an equiv in apt-get? apt-get purge? [09:00] dban is a great tool for wiping disks. It is not so great for testing a disk for bad sectors. [09:00] wolfric, yes, but I don't know it off hand. [09:01] wolfric, apt-get purge should do it, as you said. [09:01] thank you so much, PythonPup, I'll reboot now [09:01] When I go to Appearance Preferences -> Visual Effects and change from 'none' to 'normal' or 'extra', the system transitions to it and I select 'keep settings'. Nothing seems to change, though and once I close appearance preferences and start it up again, visual effects are back to 'none' again. What's the problem? [09:05] hi, I have intermittent thunderbird, firefox and eclipse crashes [09:05] the windows simply disappear [09:06] sweener: no, you still have to use -o. It stands for "option" and means that anything following will be an option, in your case, loop. [09:06] any idea how common this is? ubuntu 11.10 [09:06] 64-bit [09:06] agronholm, try #ubuntu+1 [09:07] why? [09:07] err, sorry [09:07] i thought 11.04 was the most recent [09:07] 11.04 [09:07] are the processes still running? [09:07] no [09:08] is it final? [09:08] I'm running 11.04 [09:08] natty [09:08] ok [09:08] agronholm, what version of firefox and thunderbird are you running [09:08] confused cleared [09:08] the latest from ubuntu repos [09:08] I think [09:09] what does firefox --version output [09:09] sagaci odd are stable? [09:09] Hey guys. I have two laptops - one new and one old. The old one has its keyboard non-functional but everything else works fine. I want to be able to use that laptop using my newer laptop. Something like when I press ctrl+alt+f9, the older's display comes on my screen. I know this is possible using Xorg but I don't know how. Any help is appreciated [09:09] I'm running firefox 6.0 and thunderbird 6.0 [09:10] dpac, DESTORY IT [09:10] PythonPup! I am back [09:10] Guest3679, Congratulations [09:10] wilder: I would if it solved my problem :D [09:11] It'd make you feel better about it, that's for sure. [09:11] try a ps/2 keyboard to set things up [09:11] PythonPup I am sorry to keep wait!! [09:12] sagaci: I've experienced these intermittent crashes since I installed 11.04 [09:12] dumbo88, Or, a USB keyboard, depending on the laptop. [09:12] with firefox 4.0 too [09:12] and only those three apps crash like that [09:13] agroholm did you run anti-virus? [09:13] please don't mock me [09:13] :-P [09:14] PythonPup!! did you check smaba.conf [09:15] I posted the new one for you a while back, Guest3679 [09:16] agronholm, Maybe try reinstalling relevant shared libraries? [09:16] xulrunner I think is used by both ff and tb [09:16] that are probably heaps more though [09:16] eclipse does not use xulrunner afaik... [09:16] true [09:17] dumbo88: lol linux can't get a virus [09:17] PythonPup ! can u do it agin ? [09:18] insmod, yes it can. :P [09:18] VxQf: no [09:18] Just because no one writes viruses for it doesn't mean it can't get them. [09:18] Security by obscurity is not security. :_ [09:18] :) [09:18] VxQf: idiot [09:19] insmod, trolling much?

[09:28] hope it's not too professional for me [09:28] felipe1337; http://ardour.org/ and check out all the jack toys and ladspa and hydrogen etc [09:29] I don't know what to do with these crashes [09:29] it's probably got more plugins than i can actually use [09:29] I don't even get a SIGSEGV on the console [09:29] PythonPup: thanks [09:29] felipe1337: audacity is great for simple stuff ardour is much more pro orientated [09:29] agronholm: what is the prob -- what happens [09:29] If the limit of 32 bit operating systems are 3gb, can i run ubuntu with 3gb, and alot the rest into virtual machines or would it not be able to use the extra memory at all? [09:30] insmod: the app just quits [09:30] allot* [09:30] agronholm: what does [09:30] sometimes on its own, sometimes in response to a keypress [09:30] guess that's why i use audacity [09:30] firefox, thunderbird and eclipse [09:30] wilder, you can't address more than 3.5 gb of ram with a 32 bit Intel CPU. [09:30] blast [09:30] wilder: 32bit OS can only address 32bit memory. You can't use the rest memory inside a 32bit OS. [09:30] I can reproduce the thunderbird crash [09:30] wilder: you need a 64-bit host [09:31] agronholm: upgrade new install ? [09:31] insmod: huh? [09:31] ah [09:31] upgrade [09:31] agronholm: did you upgrade or is it a fresh install [09:31] wilder: However, look into PAE. It works fine for my friend. [09:31] I already said upgrade [09:31] wilder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [09:32] agronholm: k that is the prob [09:32] PythonPup! I have copy smb.conf, restarted and I able to open the data folder from network but I can't copy or creat f&F [09:32] insmod: are you sure? where does this info come from? [09:32] and what should I do to fix it? [09:32] agronholm: delete the old config files in ~/name [09:32] dpac, looks like it will be easier to reinstall [09:32] into 64bit [09:33] insmod: what config files? surely not all of them? [09:33] Guest3679, That is not a valid filename you are trying to create [09:34] agronholm: the hidden ones in the users dir -- they are dot files -- hiden --- i use mc [09:34] PythonPup !!Mean;s?

[09:41] strange that I'm not even getting a core dump though I enabled them [09:41] agronholm: I have since 1995 [09:41] Oh, do you want core dumps. We can probably come up with neat ways to get those. [09:41] Pingviller: your current config only allows connection to phpmyadmin from the localhost(the server itself) [09:42] Pingviller, i recommend not using the default file, disable it via a2dissite and create a new one [09:42] PythonPup: I can't understand what's happening [09:42] hello people [09:42] the app just quits [09:42] hi jayz [09:42] in fact it doesn't even seem to crash [09:42] agronholm: trust me -- or back it up then do it [09:42] agronholm: what if you launch it from terminal? [09:42] I did [09:42] It seems that Python is pretty popular, but how is it compared to c++ or c#? [09:42] i have some doubts ..could u help me out..?

[09:44] voxic: you're right, it actually works from the host machine. how do I make it possible to access from other IP's? [09:44] agronholm: how about: thunderbird -safe-mode [09:44] doesn't that just disable plugins? [09:44] also, firefox and eclipse do the same [09:44] often when unattended [09:44] jayz: what about it? [09:44] Pingviller: change the line "Allow from" to include your network [09:45] @action.. hello? [09:45] PythonPup!! any solution ? [09:45] jayz: are you having issues with java? [09:45] Guest3679, good. Now, save that config file(/etc/samba/smb.conf) Start experimenting from there with your other requirements. I believe you had some odd thing about copying the files in a way they could not be deleted by the user.(Or was that someone else?) Anyway, I have to quit and go home.

You said you could create files. That is the goal. [09:46] jayz: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [09:46] i created the symbolic link but firefox doesn't load it.. [09:46] PythonPup !! NOOOOO !! they can creat file and & folder But I should not allow to delete [09:47] voxic: actually I'd like it to allow all, but where do I paste it? and is it still in the 000-default or the apache.conf for phpmyadmin? [09:47] Guest3679: use the creat_mask setting in smb.conf [09:47] jayz: your path is wrong [09:47] how to copy from this chatroom? [09:47] PythonPup!! the whole IDEA was that [09:47] Guest3679, I can't stay to go through that part with you. See http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2001-October/030781.html [09:48] Pingviller: it int the 000-default, change the line Allow from 127... to your network [09:48] ok . . i'm new here.. tel me how to copy text from this chat screen?

[10:31] damo22, I had a few games running in 10.04 that aren't working in 10.10 [10:31] i have ubuntu 11.04 not 10.10..

[10:35] jayz: if you reboot then run: dmesg | less you can see the devices being detected and see if the device is detected [10:35] @jamiewan: dell inspiron n4410.. i guess it's version 3.0 [10:35] manisabri: yes, its just a package [10:36] It's funny that flash get lot less cpu (around 11%) compared to when the graphic drivers are installed (around 80% ) !! [10:37] manisabri: because your GPU is probably doing some work === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [10:38] actionparsnip: how ? there is no graphic driver in low graphic mode is it? if the second monitor was working I could completely abandon installing the ATI graphic driver!

[11:24] jpw1391: you could have a script in an infinite loop and run 'ls' on a folder, then run you could use awk and grep to just get the extension and perform logic on that, sure === melanie_ is now known as melanie [11:24] h [11:25] if you make me a template with a few extensions I should be able to finish it to my liking [11:25] dam022 ! this my smb.conf file http://pastebin.com/B2QSbaNz [11:26] jpw1391: if you run: echo filename | cut -d'.' -f2 it will give the file extension [11:26] MBR_Rewritor, have a look at anonymous_enable and anon_root options (and maybe others) in https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd/vsftpd_conf.html [11:26] jpw1391: you can then put it in a variable like: FEXTENSION=`echo "$1" | cut -d'.' -f2` [11:26] bundai: at the bottom change the following: guest ok = no, force user = milap, create mask = 0644, directory mask = 1644 [11:27] ActionParsnip: infinite loops are bad practice, and that cut will fail on filenames with more than one period, no? [11:27] so this infinite look would always be running in the background? [11:27] whoppergator: possibly, but it's a start, it can be refined [11:28] jpw1391: yes, much like a service. I'm sure you could make it more graceful [11:28] ActionParsnip: jpw1391: you should write a script that uses a grep match, then add it to cron with a reasonable update interval [11:28] Is there anyways to daemonize it so that I just does it upon a new file entering the parent folder [11:28] ? [11:28] !cron | jpw1391 [11:28] jpw1391: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [11:29] jpw1391: not sure there [11:29] jpw1391: yes, but it would need to be a nautilus extention though, like dropbox's [11:29] I wish to install a custom login theme but I am unsure how to, can anyone offer advice? [11:29] no I'm just looking for a simple bash script [11:29] bundai: sorry create mask = 0664, directory mask = 1664 [11:29] JoeR1: https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup [11:29] jpw1391: right, i'm saying you couldn't daemonize it with a bash script. your best bet is a cron job [11:30] damo22 you want me to restart pc or service smbd restart [11:30] bundai: service smbd restart [11:30] theadmin, Thank you I shall look immediately [11:31] alright but lsyncd would daemonize it right? if I were to go that route [11:31] ? [11:31] bundai: repost your smb.conf [11:31] damo22 i am not able to creat or copy or [11:31] JoeR1: afaik, you can only change the wallpaper and login box colour [11:31] JoeR1: lightdm is a little more customizable over GDM but I've not done it [11:31] any thunderbird users here? [11:31] oh wait [11:31] I need to be in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:31] mang0: Not really, if it's a support question this is the place [11:32] ActionParsnip, I have discovered that I have Gnome 2 and that, I believe, it supports custome themes beyond just background and icons [11:32] damo22 http://pastebin.com/w2qpnDG5 i think we set chmod for /opt/data [11:32] theadmin: it is a support question, but it's nothing to do with ubuntu.... [11:32] mang0: Oh, okay. Sure, then you probably better go to #ubuntu-offtopic or the Mozilla's place [11:33] JoeR1: what release are you using? [11:33] hey [11:33] theadmin: #thunderbird on irc.mozilla.org is dead quiet, no answers [11:33] mang0: Heh... In #ubuntu-offtopic they most usually discuss nonsense [11:33] could anyone help me troubleshoot why i cannot dual screen? [11:33] theadmin: very true ;) [11:33] im also getting a weird clipping when i open up any ui [11:34] bundai: please delete "force user = nobody" and change the create mask = 0770 and directory mask = 1770 from your smb.conf and save, then service smbd restart [11:34] ActionParsnip, 11.04, Xubuntu [11:35] jpw1391: i think so. then you are basically tacking your script on to an existing daemon. apparently there is a nautilus-sync package for that too. Oh yeah, and nautilus-actions now that i think about it, which would be another way to trigger it [11:35] I use openbox... [11:36] and pcmanfm [11:36] JoeR1: then it will be a GDM you cannot theme [11:36] jpw1391: well then... sure lsyncd might do it [11:36] hey :) [11:37] ActionParsnip, We shall see, with the customization of linux as a base I am sure I can with enough hard work [11:37] hey guys, is there anyway to run ubuntu LiveCD but save/load the settings off a USB stick? [11:37] bundai: hows that going [11:37] wait does ubuntu by default have no firewall? [11:38] Can anyone help me installing a wireless card? [11:38] damo22 no use this type of config is working in centos do you want samba folder that pc [11:38] bundai: i dont understand your question [11:38] drag0nz: Sure, Unetbootin does that [11:39] I mean its not working i can access the folder but can [11:39] im getting into linux, but still getting used to the filesystem, as in, where to put my stuff. Now I am following a guide to build some code and it requires me to make a few directories in my build environment. It shows command like mkdir -p ~/bin . now my question is: Where could / should be my build environment or where would you put yours? [11:39] jpw1391: yeah lsyncd will definitely do it, and it ties into inotify, so it would be efficient. i didn't realize you were on openbox. well that's what i get for jumping in the middle of a conversation :P [11:39] sorry cant create file in that [11:39] theadmin, what is that? [11:39] theadmin, ah thats a tool that lets me install and run ubuntu from a USB stick? [11:41] !usb | drag0nz [11:41] drag0nz: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:41] damo22 In meantime i want to inform you that already this kind of config is working in centos it is in live do you want any file form that pc did you understand ? [11:41] JoeR1: I'd just install lightdm and switch over personally. You can use this link to mess with GDM if you want: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 [11:41] does ubuntu by default have no firewall? === nyuszika7h is now known as somebody === somebody is now known as nyuszika7h [11:41] Lint: it has a firewall, iptables [11:41] !firewall | Lint [11:41] Lint: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [11:42] Installing From USB stick is simple as Ass, just cat ubuntu.iso > /dev/sd* [11:42] but it's off by default?! [11:42] wouter_: that tidla, ~, is a quick way of referencing your home directory. you should keep all of your user data, documents, projects and such in the home folder. the organization of your home folder is entirely up to you! [11:42] auronandace, thanks, but thats not what i wanted, i have a data usb, i dont want to run ubuntu from it, what i want is(if possible) is to run the livecd and save any changes i do on the USB [11:42] auronandace, so when i load the LiveCD again, i can load my changes from the usb? [11:42] ActionParsnip, just out of curiosity, how useless would my GUI be if I stripped out python? [11:42] Can someone help me install the Edimax EW-7711ln wireless PCI on the 11.04 ubuntu distro? [11:43] whoppergator no worries that's the first i've even said of it [11:43] alright so that command is just a suggestion. I may as well make that ~/myproject/bin then, or would you advise me to keep it in home/bin ? [11:43] drag0nz: wouldn't it be easier to just have a persistant usb install [11:43] JoeR1: most things would be removed dude, a lot relies on python [11:43] Lint: yup it's off by default. since there are no open ports on a clean linux install, why would a firewall be necessary? [11:43] i never installed ubuntu on a Mac, is it so frioendly to Mac also? i mean i can do install and then dual boot? can it automaticaly resize the Mac partitions? [11:43] auronandace, you mean have it installed and run from USB? [11:44] whoppergator, theres 6 opened ports, by default [11:44] drag0nz: yes, a persistant usb install would save your settings too [11:44] ActionParsnip, yes . . .and yet I would be able to rebuilt from a command line and do it the way I want [11:44] I need an email client that I can write a message in raw html. any ideas? [11:44] auronandace, is that included in the guide you showed me? [11:44] JoeR1: why not just install ubuntu minimal and build up [11:44] drag0nz: yes [11:44] Has anyone had luck using WakeOnLan in 11.04 to wake from Suspend? If the computer has been suspended for more than 10 seconds, WOL won't work. [11:44] Lint: are there vulnerable services listening on those ports? i would also point out that you probably mean that there are 6 opened ports on ubuntu desktop. the server version and other distros have less or none [11:45] bundai: try this: add "valid user = milap" at the bottom of smb.conf and delete "public = yes" then do service smbd restart [11:45] auronandace, one last question, how much disk space does ubuntu 11.04 need? [11:45] is a 4gb stick good enough? [11:45] drag0nz: yeah [11:46] drag0nz: for a persistant install i'm not sure [11:46] ActionParsnip, A worthy suggestion however it may offer insight to do it in my circuitous way . . . I shall have to reflect on it before I make a decision [11:46] Hello everyone. I need your advice. How can I get 'gmplayer' binary? It is not installed with 'mplayer-gui' package [11:47] Lint: if you have any questions about ufw, just let me know :) [11:48] I have a question how to use gufw, because it looks totally broken [11:48] Lint: ask away... what would you like to do? [11:48] Synapse-119: install gnome-mplayer you'll be fine [11:49] i would like to open port, but it keeps saying about 'execution error' or something like this [11:49] ActionParsnip: okay, but 1) I use KDE 2) where's the binary gone? [11:50] oh nevermind [11:50] Synapse-119: if you use KDE then instal smplayer its a Qt frontend to mplayer [11:50] it resolved itself [11:50] it just took it 4 minutes to switch on [11:51] do i ask network related stuff here or is there a specific room fpr that? [11:51] skarufue: ##networking [11:52] Lint: i usually prefer talking to ufw directly in the terminal just so i can see what's going on, like loading etc. it's also much easier to use imho [11:52] regarding WOL, anyone able to tell me much about pmutils? WOL from suspend works for the first 10 seconds after suspending. There must be a config file that I can tinker with to address this. [11:52] I'm hoping anyway :) [11:53] Hey! I paired succesfully my samsung galaxy s II via bluetooth with ubuntu 11.04, but is there way to browse the phone? Like the phone would appear as one of the devices and then I could copy by dragging & dropping? [11:53] I only found a way with "Send to.." and then I could send files via bluetooth, but multiple files are always zipped [11:54] So it would be nicer to be able to browse the phone [11:56] hi is it possible to run adnroid apps on ubuntu?

[12:03] farciarz84: http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/RhythmBox [12:03] ActionParsnip: banshee cannot [12:04] syrinx_priest: used to try with cohoerence without result [12:04] farciarz84: cannot what?

But in nautilus, it keeps asking for username, group and password ? [13:28] kyle_: sure, it's not a supported option, ubuntu is build around specific product versions that are known to work/compatible, as soon as you move away from that your stability is at risk [13:28] kyle_: why do you want to go to the 3.X kernel ? [13:29] is there any software like office vision under ubuntu? [13:29] is there a way I can see only files/folders that have been modified since a certain date? [13:29] ouyes: what's office vision?

In Ubuntu 11.04 (Classic GNOME, Compiz 0.8.6 from PPA) I have a problem with panel applets loading but frequently not appearing on the top panel (I must restart them to make them show up). If it matters, I'm using a custom kernel and 7300GT with the latest proprietary drivers. [13:41] Galvatron: ask the PPA maintainer for help [13:41] alkafoo, They are on a Windows 7 PC. How do I access it from my box ? [13:41] First I must determine where lies the problem [13:41] Galvatron: and custom kernel + unsupported drivers + unsupported PPA = nightmare to support [13:42] I doubt a window manager malfunctioning would have anything to do with icons from applets for a panel not showing up [13:42] Galvatron: start reverting things, eg: stock kernel, stock drivers + PPA [13:42] santan: you need to set them up as shared on the Windows box [13:44] alkafoo, They are shared, require no password and can be accessed from other Windows PC's on the network. How do I access them from Linux ?

Previously I had a Mac-like one and I almost got rid of this, but it's intensyfied when I reverted to Ambiance. [13:53] ikonia-remote: I tried resetting GNOME to defaults, as well as adding the applets to startup and to a list of required components in Gconf Editor.

[14:01] Galvatron: sorry it's not more detail but I don't have an ubuntu machine here to test it, but that theme causes problems [14:01] ikonia-remote: fog is a open project. http://www.fogproject.org/ [14:01] ace__: apple keyboard? [14:02] kyle_: does your laptop actually boot with a default ubuntu install ? [14:03] alkafoo: no HP [14:03] ikonia-remote: it's a PXE kernal i need to update [14:03] kyle_: does it work at all with the pxe kernel ? [14:03] kyle_: as in the current one [14:03] ace__: strange, I'd consider LEDs not working a blessing [14:03] ikonia-remote: not the dell optiplex 790's 780's and other PC's are fine [14:03] If i installed apache2 through apt repos but compile php by hand, does anybody know how i would enable mod_php in apache2? [14:04] alkafoo: ha! [14:04] ikonia-remote: But the problem is that I havent installed it fully, with the script - just the theme and icons. [14:04] kyle_: randomly changing hte kernel doesn't seem a good option to me, researching what component is not working and then finding out what kernel introduces support for that problem [14:04] ikonia-remote: I don't nned help with the issue. I just wanted help with ubuntu 10.4 update kernal to 3.xx [14:04] Galvatron: the theme is the same, it's nt a good setup [14:04] kyle_: you shouldn't update it to 3.0 kernel [14:05] kyle_: hence why I'm explaining what you need to do [14:05] ikonia-remote: OK, even in testlab.. [14:05] kyle_: yes, even in the test lab [14:05] kyle_: hence why I'm explaining what you need to do [14:05] ikonia-remote: OK, I do thank you.. [14:06] ikonia-remote: Also, it's installed in my /home, so formatting certinly will not solve anything [14:06] ikonia-remote: But i'll try removing it from theme/icon directories and see what happnes. [14:06] where would i find the dns txt records on an ubuntu server? [14:06] Galvatron: I think it does more than put things in /home, certainly the package, however try removing it's directory from your home dir's themes directory [14:07] Galvatron: I think it does more than put things in /home, certainly the package, however try removing it's directory from your home dir's themes directory [14:07] sorry, my client went funny then [14:07] ikonia-remote: Macbuntu is not a *deb package, but only a bunch of files with a shell script to install them. [14:08] Hiyas all [14:08] Galvatron: there is a deb packge for it that installs it too [14:08] Galvatron: and the scripts are not good [14:08] is it just me or does the forum require logging in just to view topics now? e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=718910 [14:08] ikonia-remote: I have the non-deb version [14:08] tqrst: not just you [14:08] Galvatron: I don't know the details of that, but if it was installed by a script too, I wouldn't trust it [14:08] tqrst: luckily google still gets in, hit the cache link [14:08] alkafoo: yeah it's what I've been doing [14:09] tqrst: retroactive copy cat [14:09] alkafoo: I was just wondering if it was on purpose === opencarrot is now known as openraspberry [14:09] tqrst: something that silly must be on purpose [14:09] Ubuntu: Linux for humans (on a mandatory email spam list) [14:09] alkafoo: I was going to say "something that stupid couldn't possibly be on purpose" [14:09] alkafoo: what ? [14:10] ikonia-remote: if the clog fits [14:10] retroactive anticopycat? [14:10] reminds me of expertsexchange [14:10] how to disable the default firewall of ubuntu, or open a port?

[14:13] ikonia-remote, connection time out [14:13] when i connect locally, i could ssh through without a problem [14:13] valthyx: what IP address are you trying to hit === emil is now known as Guest30680 [14:13] sorry somsip Hyperbyte that .bashrc file same as the one in my user directory, I think it is because I did . ~/.bashrc How Do I get the original file that comes as part of Ubuntu Default Install? I messed up something in my .bashrc [14:13] valthyx: is this a home network ? [14:13] 192.168.0.102 [14:13] yes [14:13] ikonia-remote: I've totally forgotten, I had installed this stuff in /usr/share as well, to us it as a login screen theme. Now I purged it both from there and from /home. [14:13] valthyx: is that routing through your broadband router [14:14] http://pastebin.com/Ar7P8g6J [14:14] Galvatron: yes, it does a lot more than it should [14:14] a normal router. [14:14] i tried it on windows, the router works fine [14:14] i mean runnign sshd on windows [14:15] Sorry somsip Hyperbyte , It worked great. my bad. Thanks a ton :) [14:15] alkafoo: oh well. It's probably run by people who don't frequent the irc channel, and I don't care enough to submit a bug report. [14:16] ikonia-remote: Thank you very much. No I must configure the login screen once more and see if the loading problems remain. [14:16] obviously [14:16] people who use forums don't know what IRC is =P === erry is now known as erry|vacation [14:17] hi. I'm on 10.04 LTS, I manually updated my kernel to 2.6.38-something. Synaptic shows that Canonical provides only updates until October 2011 for that kernel. Is this a bug? [14:17] photon: manually updated your kernel ? [14:18] photon: You installed a non-logg term support kernel [14:18] *long [14:18] ikonia-remote: sudo apt-get install linux-image-... [14:18] Galvatron: it was the only .38 kernel available. [14:18] ikonia-remote, any idea? [14:18] photon: that doesn't look like a 10.04 kernel [14:18] valthyx: I missed part of the conversation can you hit it from the Windows machine and ssh in ok ? [14:18] ikonia-remote: it is not. it's a 11.04 kernel, but support for 11.04 should not run out in October, should it? [14:19] photon: game over with support then [14:19] photon: mixing packages from different repos will break your supportability [14:19] ikonia-remote, my windows does not allow me to bind to port 443. some system service is running there, i could not terminate. [14:19] valthyx: ssh does not run on 443 [14:19] and i have to use port 443 [14:19] photon: The idea behind LTS is also that a kernel will be updated for a longer period of time. === david is now known as Guest60331 [14:19] valthyx: web servers SSL run on 443 [14:20] yes, but i have to use 443 because i am going to ssh tunneling from outside [14:20] port 22 is blocked [14:20] any way to get a newer kernel then without upgrading to 10.10 or 11.*? I really like the rest of the software to have LTS. [14:20] valthyx: you said it wa son the same network [14:20] valthyx: tunneling from the outside is not the same network [14:20] yes, i have to try first, before bringing it our [14:20] yes, i have to try first, before bringing it out [14:20] photon: why do you want a newer kernel [14:21] if locally is not working, then outside would not be working too [14:21] valthyx: test this when you get home and you can use the local network without tunneling [14:21] ok, i am now. [14:21] ikonia-remote: that would take too long to explain. but I have my reasons and I have already checked alternatives. [14:21] valthyx: you just said you where not and you where tunneling [14:21] ikonia-remote: Not always, they also can run on other ports.. The standard is 443, but there are some apps that don't run there.. [14:21] photon: in that case "no" [14:22] robbietjuh: no - it has to be 443 to comply with browsers [14:22] ikonia-remote, you misunderstood me. i will ssh tunelling from outside, i am currently at home, testing [14:22] photon: you can always roll your own. it's not terribly hard if you apply some care. [14:22] valthyx: ok - forget tunneling [14:22] once it is done, i would use it from outside [14:22] valthyx: is your windows machine on the same network as your ubuntu machine, yes/no [14:22] yes [14:22] valthyx: from your windows machine can you ssh to your ubuntu machine on the local network - no tunneling yes/no [14:22] but i could not bind to port 443, some windows service is running, and it doesnt allow me to stop the process, [14:23] ikonia-remote, no [14:23] forget 443 and binding [14:23] not even ssh [14:23] valthyx: what port is ssh running on the ubuntu machine ? [14:23] 443 [14:23] valthyx: change it to 22 (default) and test it from your local windows machine [14:23] * mavenjinx Haveing an out of body exp atm : Gone away for now [14:23] ikonia-remote, ok, will update you [14:25] ikonia-remote, i connected from putty(windows). error: connection refused [14:25] valthyx: connection refused, look in /var/log/secure [14:28] ikonia-remote, terminated with status 255 [14:28] Hi @ll, someone willing to help me with a GConf error I receive in lucid when opening "gedit" from the cli?

For some reason every time I watch a flash movie on the internet (youtube etc.) it goes double speed + there's no sound. I've created another user on my machine - from there it works perfectly. Any ideas? (Ubuntu 11.04) [14:48] K350: Hit Alt+F2, type "seahorse", hit Enter, find the "login" keyring, and delete it's password. [14:48] Hyperbyte: samba can use ldap e.g. [14:48] dddbmt: neat [14:48] om26er: thank you :D will this sort the problem of the text being overlayed over the plymouth theme [14:48] Hyperbyte: also samba can use the normal pam-stack and so using the "normal" linux-auth [14:49] dddbmt: what browser? [14:49] alkafoo, both chromium and firefox. [14:49] iceroot_, I've already configured pam/nss to use ldap. Do I need to configure Samba to use LDAP then still, or can I just tell Samba to use pam? [14:49] both, interesting [14:49] monty156, yes, it made my install almost text free [14:49] theadmin: Ah thanks! Oh, who, what sat the password. Shouldn't I know it? [14:49] alkafoo, as I said it works correct if I log in as another user in ubuntu. So I don't think it's a browser setting?

See if you see a difference regarding flash. [14:50] monty156, yw ;-) [14:50] theadmin: Ok , thanks again!:-) [14:50] dddbmt: for Firefox, compare ~/.mozilla/plugins directories [14:50] Hyperbyte: if i am correct you can say pam or ldap. i am using a config here against ldap. maybe have a look at #samba for further infos [14:51] iceroot_, thanks. :) [14:51] theadmin: I've no such program - seahorse [14:51] K350: Huh... It used to be installed by default [14:51] .13 [14:51] alkafoo, I only got "extensions" and "firefox" under ~/.mozilla [14:51] K350: You should probably sudo apt-get install seahorse [14:51] dddbmt: for both users? [14:52] theadmin: I see. And this has noting to do with my computer password or user password, no? [14:52] Is there an ubuntu subchannel for help with kernel compiles?

How am I able to fix this [14:56] Hi, is there a killer log file viewer for ubuntu? I want something better than tail :) and the system log viewer. [14:56] theadmin: I should clarify. I did follow that guide and of course actually compiling the kernel was easy. My problems (I think) are ubuntu specific. The linux-headers.deb it created has dependency conflicts I'm not sure how to resolve. [14:57] Combatjuan: Oh, I see... [14:57] alkafoo, geirha - I onced played a flash game that allowed me to change the speed of the game. The problem MIGHT have occured after that - if that is any help? [14:57] dddbmt: Yes, that's what I think, but which user setting it could be is a mystery for me currently. [14:57] is there a newbie channel for asking help questions [14:57] Combatjuan: Probably #ubuntu-dev then [14:57] hi! One question about Gwibber. I added 3 Twitter accounts, but the general view only show replys from the first account (Shouldn't it show replys from the 3 acounts?) Thanks [14:57] x0r: Here's the place [14:57] theadmin: Thanks. [14:57] Combatjuan: Or is it #ubuntu-devel? I forget [14:57] okay [14:57] dddbmt: Ah, if you right click on a flash-box, you should get some settings.

I've removed .bashrc. How do I keep troubleshooting? [15:01] selite: You're welcome [15:01] geirha, I think it's download speed? [15:01] x0r: nah, you should still be okay. I run on an i5 [15:01] x0r: that means you installed the 64-bit version, which the i5 supports, and that shouldn't be any kind of issue [15:01] dddbmt: Hang on, it appears flash stores its settings in ~/.macromedia/, so try closing all browsers, mv ~/.macromedia ~/.macromedia.old [15:02] geirha: wow, that's some enduring legacy naming [15:03] geirha, still nothing.

Thanks [15:03] konsumer: have you had any luck so far? [15:04] when I reboot the box after the kernel panic, it boots into windows, I do not see the grub menu. Does the guided install stick grub on the disk by default? [15:04] I have no idea what to do, I installed ubuntu but when I rebooted I got grub rescue instead [15:04] x0r: it installs grub onto the mbr of the internal drive,yes [15:05] so, this might be aclue [15:05] a clue [15:05] (i mean 'replies') [15:05] since there is no grub menu, maybe the install is confused and wrtibng to some other area [15:05] Genezer, none that actually worked [15:05] dddbmt: Hm. Puzzling. I made a small change to the flash settings, then ran find ~ -mmin -2 to list all files changed in the last two minutes, and .macromedia was the only one that stood out as related to flash. If that's not it, I'm out of ideas :/ [15:05] -sigh- [15:06] do I have to reinstall? [15:06] or what?

I will go have a look at the log now... pointers on what to look for?

Have you rebooted since the driver installed? [15:27] I used unetbootin to make a USB bootdisk for ubuntu server.. but it's trying to detect a CD, which it obviously doesn't have. I tried adding cdrom-detect/try-usb=true but it had no effect. When I drop to a shell in the installer I can see and mount the USB disk. Any way I can convince the installer to use my mounted USB drive as a source? [15:28] ah... reboot...*cough* [15:28] be right back jrib [15:28] Genezer: hahaha [15:28] :$ [15:28] Genezer: if you really want to avoid it, you should be able to exit X and just modprobe nvidia [15:29] DroidAgent: unetbootin seems problematic.

[15:47] on which partition [15:47] CoolCoder: That file is PPA free, so there muist be a file inm /etc/apt/sources.list.d [15:47] Dulcin: it's normally put on the master boot record [15:47] Dulcin: It is in a /boot folder [15:48] Dulcin: the configs are in /etc/grub and the binaries it needs likes in /boot [15:48] Dulcin: It is in the MBR and on some partition (it is too large to fit) [15:48] CoolCoder: That looks about fine, do you have any files located in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [15:48] Can I use monit to monitor and nfs-kernel-server? [15:48] nfs-kernel-server doesn't create a pidfile, so I've been at a loss [15:48] So if I have a /boot/grub/ folder it means that it is installed on the same paritition as ubuntu? [15:48] gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d gives file not found [15:48] CoolCoder: Ot [15:48] CoolCoder: can reset your system with ppa-purge. That will uninstall the repository and set every package to the one from the origin rep [15:48] CoolCoder: It's a directory. [15:48] Dulcin: no, it's normally installed on the master boot record of the disk [15:48] CoolCoder: its a directory [15:48] Dulcin: if that folder is on the same partition as ubuntu (this is most likely the case) [15:49] CoolCoder: cd there and then ls, see if any files exist [15:49] ok [15:49] jpds: yes, that was the form I filled and sent. [15:49] http://pastebin.com/YRhrH8eV these are files inside that folder [15:49] ikonia-remote: Well it is all on the same harddisk, just different partitions [15:49] jpds: i guess i will just have to wait.

[15:50] Dulcin: grub is installed to the master boot record - not a partition normally [15:50] Dulcin: forget the partitions [15:50] ikonia-remote: grub still does store it's configs in /boot so it does need a partition there [15:51] http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/ i am following this to remove those ppa?

[15:51] Dulcin: it doesn't ask you to put it on a partition [15:51] ikonia-remote: I do know, figured after I accidentally installed grub to a partition and then couldn't boot :D [15:52] Dulcin: put it on the master boot record, [15:52] Dulcin: If you use grub as initial boot loader it needs to go to the MBR of your first hdd [15:52] ikonia-remote: It's a list with sda1 sda2 sdb1 sdb2 etc. [15:52] hey guys i got this werid thing with 10.04-64 bit install...nautilus wont open [15:52] well let's put it this way: how do I know what my MBR is? [15:52] hi [15:52] Dulcin: you should have been presented with the option to put grub on the mbr or partition, select mbr [15:52] Dulcin: It's normally /dev/sda [15:52] unless i su to root then its fine.

The system is now operating normally and your data should remain intact. Overheating may occur if the cooling vents are blocked or the operating temperature exceed the specification. The notebook PC should return to normal operation once the situation is resolved. System Temperature [15:59] I get it I get it, I was just messin' [15:59] so i'm looking for something that can detect the plate area (even when its from a bad angle) and then detect the characters [16:00] CoolCoder: whats up? [16:00] hey guys, to install ubuntu 11, with LVM, what does one need to do? === Davi0n is now known as Davion [16:00] clustermagnet: in what respect ? [16:00] boot , apt-get lvm, run the installer? [16:00] ikonia: /boot ext4 rest on lvgroups [16:00] schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/57uG2apK [16:00] clustermagnet: I'd advise you not to put /boot on lvm - the rest is fine [16:00] hmmm, if i make images for all the possible plates (only a few) then i can use more general software to detect the image i guess :D [16:00] ikonia-remote: thats what i said [16:00] CoolCoder: try sudo ppa-purge ppa:exaile-devel/ppa [16:01] i dont see that ubuntu allows for lvm in installer [16:01] clustermagnet: the alternative installer contains the LVM install options, not sure if the desktop CD does at this time [16:01] do i need to download some alternate? [16:01] ya, desktop doesnt [16:01] thanks [16:01] Ubuntu doesnt use LVM normally, but I dont see why you cant set it up [16:01] doh, should have known :( [16:01] clustermagnet: the alternative installer from ubuntu.com [16:01] yeh, got ya, thanks!

[16:05] CoolCoder, I just removed the ppas from the sources.list . alt+f2, gksudo nautilus /etc/apt/sources.list.d , the found the ppas I wanted to remove [16:05] then [16:05] CoolCoder: You can still run into problems with packages that are still installed from that repo [16:05] schnuffle: hmm [16:05] Hi, I just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04 and my skype stopped working. it gives error "skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" . can anyone help me how can I fix it? These libraries are present [16:06] CoolCoder: But that can normally be solved by uninstalling these packages when it happens [16:06] amitrana, it the lib named exactly like in the error-message? [16:07] amitrana: You did what? [16:07] schnuffle: now we renamed it. correct?> [16:07] amitrana: make sure you have the latest version of skype. I have skype working on i386 on 11.04 anyway. [16:07] yes, I did a find and got this "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXss.so.1.0.0 [16:07] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXss.so.1" [16:08] so yes, exactly same. [16:08] amitrana: 11.10 is unstable and unsupported. [16:08] yes I know :) was trying my luck [16:09] theadmin, ya i just realized there were like 140 megs of updates fro that thing..im gonna run thouse first see if that fixes it. [16:09] most of the stuff worked fine. so far I have noticed cheese and skype broken [16:10] amitrana: 11.10 support is only in #ubuntu+1, not #ubuntu [16:10] Im doing that while im buiding win7_64bit machine hehehe And there is a kernel upgrade. [16:10] Pici: Thanks. I didnt know that. Will try there. [16:13] windows desktop update takes longer than the entire host systems update...crazy. [16:13] today i was attemping to troubleshoot my wireless using daemon.log and noticed that all the logs ended in april 25 (ubuntu 11.04). Where are these logs now? [16:14] I have your logs === jthomas is now known as TheDracle [16:15] i need 10,000 bucks in a brown paper bag. [16:15] heh thats cute [16:15] yep...and...i know what is wrong with your system...(cause im looking at your logs) That will only cost you 1,000 bucks... Welcome to open source heheheeh [16:16] its not my system its my locations wifi infrastructure [16:16] just kidding by the way i have not a clue where your logs are...but ill look really hard for them if i can get 10 grand for finding them! [16:16] hallo [16:16] here is a question... Can I sign/accept a software respository that I don't have the public-key for, so that is doesn't appear as 'unauthenticated' in the update-process ? === Gasseus is now known as Rallias [16:17] kinda defeats the purpose of it.. [16:17] just get the key [16:17] marina__: hallo :-) [16:18] hatte gestern ein virus [16:18] !de | marina__ [16:18] marina__: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [16:18] marina__: Ubuntu hat doch keine virusen [16:18] grendal-prime: I'm downloading from Caucho.com ...and I've been unsuccessful in obtaining a public key...what do I do to get it ? [16:18] dachte ich auch [16:18] coraxx: Your error should contain a key ID [16:19] Is there a way to change the color of the windows buttons without changing a theme? [16:19] What packages are required to allow proper suspension? As it is now my computer halts but still provides at least a video signal to my monitor of a blank screen and continues to run the drives and suchlike. So it doesn't actually turn off and hitting the power button starts the computer up as if it were off. === Rallias is now known as dacker === dacker is now known as dacher [16:20] Pici: yes...I was trying to recreate the error, so that I could get the key from the public server manually ...but I don't seem to get the error unless I update the package, which is not nessecary now ...is there another way to obtain the KeyID from a repository ? [16:20] how can I replace the popup that is shown when another mp3 start to play or when someone msg me? the default one is nice, but I cannot move it nor click it to open that event === dacher is now known as ralilas === ralilas is now known as Rallias [16:21] Rallias: Please pick a nick and stick with it, or part here if you plan on doing that. [16:21] sorry [16:21] coraxx: Are you not getting the error when you use apt-get update? [16:22] Hi all [16:22] Pici: very oddly no ...only when an actual update is available, then I get it. [16:22] How can I recover my root password? [16:22] afeijo: Yoou can disable the notification area plugin in Banshee if you don't want that to appear. or Status Icon in rhymtnox I believe [16:23] coraxx: Well, you can probably do: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com when you see the error again. [16:23] dankest: there is none to recover [16:23] dankest: There is no root password unless you set one. [16:23] dankest: Ubuntu does not set a root password by default. [16:23] what's a good PDF editor? (I tried PDFedit but it just shows a blank white page when opening the file) [16:23] Polah, I want to change it a bit, not disable :) [16:23] When I start my laptop I get this annoying message every time: "The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating . The system is now operating normally and your data should remain intact. Overheating may occur if the cooling vents are blocked or the operating temperature exceed the specification. The notebook PC should return to normal operation once the situation is resolved. System Temperature [16:24] afeijo: Oh, you'd need to customise your desktop environment then, someone could probably tell you how [16:24] Pici: my thoughts exactly :-) ...just don't know how to get the KeyID manually :-( [16:24] I want to be able to fill out PDF forms, change font on selected text, and save [16:24] i need help with my php installation with apache, the problem is iv tried everything i can but mysql isn't loaded into php5, it is installed though can anyone help please? [16:24] Synackfin: okular [16:24] szal: Polah: theadmin thanks [16:24] SHould have just googled it [16:24] synackfin: the combination of 'good' and 'PDF editor', in my experience, applies to exactly one piece of software -- Adobe Acrobat [16:24] im running Ubuntu 10.10 [16:25] Polah: does okular edit PDF forms and let me change font sizes? [16:26] Which program can I use to convert video for my psp? [16:26] coraxx: you could look in /var/log/dpkg.log or /var/log/apt/term.log (or history.log) for error messages. [16:27] synackfin: Oh, editing no. [16:27] hello have any heared about to have the hjp touchpad and ubuntun running`? [16:28] I'm planning to create multiple partition on my hdd, is there a defragmenting software/tool for linux? [16:28] gparted [16:28] j0hndoe, thats very easy to use [16:28] !defrag [16:28] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [16:28] ty [16:28] Hi. After taking out/putting back fonts by accident last night (from package manager), I notice the Japanese font in Fiefox has changed, but the setting is still sans-serif. What is is by default? It's not DejaVu Sans which is the system sans-serif === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [16:29] hi [16:29] please can some one help me ? === Davi0n is now known as Davion [16:30] !ask [16:30] 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. :-) [16:30] andersonchuck: with what? You should ask a question. [16:30] need lightest browser on the world for ubuntu [16:30] i already try arora but it close it self after use it because of the ram [16:30] andersonchuck: what do you want in your browser? [16:31] i need just for wrowse and download from filehosts [16:31] i dont need any thing else [16:31] as flashplayer etc... [16:31] andersonchuck, I use midori, but elinks is even lighter [16:31] elinks ? [16:31] flashplayer is going to use a quite a lot of resources on any browser you use [16:31] elinks is a textmode browser [16:31] if it helps, I know the full width numbers have no serif and the characters are more spaced apart [16:32] you can use a framebuffer to display images [16:32] it's the quickest you can get [16:32] midori might be the simplest browser that supports flash, if it does support flash [16:32] hey, that key combination allows you to enter the ascii/unicode value for a character to insert it into text? [16:32] tensorpudding, it does :) [16:32] andersonchuck, ctrl+shift+u [16:32] if you want flash and are having RAM issues, you really ought to buy more RAM because you're not going to get acceptable performance [16:32] what ? i realy didnt understand [16:33] andersonchuck, what part? [16:33] ya so this blows i have to use gksu to run nautilus now? [16:33] !language | grendal-prime [16:33] grendal-prime: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [16:34] i can find lightest browser i need browser without flashplayer etc .. [16:34] andersonchuck: links2 [16:34] grendal-prime: you don't need to use gksu to run nautilus? why would you [16:34] andersonchuck: then open it with xlinks2 [16:34] ok so i install it with sudo apt-get install link2 ? [16:34] anyony knows how to enable the mouse in the tty console? [16:35] andersonchuck, like I said, elinks and w3m are textmode browsers (you can display images on pages using the framebuffer or imagemagick), or you can install midori and disable flash [16:35] midori will be the easiest to use [16:35] anyone even.... [16:35] andersonchuck: sudo apt-get install links2 [16:35] andersonchuck: you aren't going to be able to use flash in elinks/w3m [16:35] propus, it's not possible, that's what X is for :) [16:35] sorry xrdodrx lost my mind for a second there... tensorpudding I cannot open nautulis with anything but the root user. Screen just flashes and nothing happens [16:35] When I leave FF open overnight and come back to it the next day, it becomes a CPU hog, 100% on one of my cores [16:35] FF6 that is [16:35] and if i try and kick it off from a term to see the error..there is NO error reported [16:36] grendal-prime: open a terminal and try running nautilus, tell me what happens [16:36] Has that happened to anyone else [16:36] can u give me the command to install it ? [16:36] grendal-prime: by typing 'nautilus' in the terminal and hitting enter [16:36] oh [16:36] grendal-prime: is nautilus running [16:36] andersonchuck, sudo apt-get install elinks && elinks [16:36] sir_tyrion: I run Firefox (6.0) for days on end w/o it hogging CPU, not even w/ Flash [16:37] the only thing it occasionally hogs is memory [16:37] i got this error [16:37] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc Aborted [16:37] propus: sudo apt-get install gpm [16:37] andersonchuck, when running my command? [16:37] yes [16:38] try typing elinks and hitting return again [16:38] same thing? [16:38] terry_: thanks :) [16:38] NP [16:38] ok how about this [16:38] what are the default font seetings in Ubuntu 10.04/10.10/11.04 (assuming they changed)? [16:38] does lightdm able to run wmii or dwm? [16:38] !crunchbang | amin` [16:38] amin`: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

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 :) [16:41] i got the same error [16:41] <_ramo> hi [16:42] so? [16:43] andersonchuck, sorry, I was thinking, and I'm not sure what could be causing that [16:43] it works on my machine :( === Mud is now known as Guest18879 [16:44] how should I edit lightdm to handle wmii and dwm? [16:44] Hi! I had an ubuntu ext4 partition and someone formatted it with ntfs.. is there any program to restore the deleted data? [16:45] I searched a lot but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.. [16:45] Ramb0: foremost possibly, if the data hasn't been nuked or overwritten, your backups will be the easiest and most reliable method of data restore [16:46] amin`: What release of Ubuntu are you running? [16:46] tensorpudding, nothing i literally flashes the screen and nothing happens [16:46] ok [16:46] arggg... sasl, why couldn't conocal add the script into it's xchat and chatzilla setups to same some of us the issues because we tether [16:46] yeah so installing ubuntu from minimal, normal day, suddenly a wild error appears! while installing gnome-applets-data I get "No apport report qritten because the error message indicates a disk full error", this is following a message about stock_weather_foo.png no space left on device [16:46] and my hard disk is not full [16:46] can u give me name for the lightest download on ubuntu ? [16:46] 11% usage [16:46] * amin` is there a wiki for lightdm?// [16:46] tensorpudding, actually the screen doesnt even flash. [16:46] just notuhg [16:46] errr... HI, sorry, common typo, those keys are so close together :) [16:46] grendal-prime: is nautilus running in the system monitor? [16:46] andersonchuck: use the minimal ISO, it installs via the web, the iso is 12Mb. The smallest will more than likely be Lubuntu [16:47] scythefwd, ubuntu is an open source project, you're free to do that if you feel it would be useful for yourself and other ubuntu users [16:47] i ask about downloader nt gui [16:47] yep [16:47] !lightdm [16:47] tensorpudding, yep [16:47] my internet connection is very slow [16:47] !gdm [16:47] plz help me [16:47] !gnome [16:47] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [16:48] ActionParsnip I don't have a backup :(.. I'll give foremost a shot.. any other suggestions? [16:48] andersonchuck: then the lightest without gui is ubuntu minimal [16:48] !unity [16:48] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. [16:48] dabukalam: is the partition you installed to full? [16:48] xrdodrx - I'm not even sure where to start on how unfortunately. I suspect it's just the config of the .deb... which is a bit above my head. I'm about the least competent there is on Linux. I can use it for my needs and that's about it [16:48] grendal-prime: kill it, then try starting nautilus again [16:48] jrib: nope [16:48] Ramb0: that's all. Why do you not have a backup if your data is valuable enough to warrant effort to restore it? [16:48] sorry you didnt understand me [16:48] tensorpudding, that didnt work ither. (tried that earlyer as well) [16:48] and its not working now [16:49] plz anyone give me suggestion to improve my internet speed [16:49] bah I'll just watch the font fix itself when I actually do move; thanks anyway [16:49] grendal-prime: is it running as root? [16:49] ok, now the reason I really came here, 10.10 is the last version that will run on a ppc correct? [16:49] its slower than windows [16:49] andersonchuck: " can u give me name for the lightest download on ubuntu ?" the lightest download to get Ubuntu is the minimal [16:50] andersonchuck: if you mean the smallest package then there will be a few, like nano which is a few Kb to download [16:50] scythefwd, it seems that way, technically ppc hasn't been supported officially since 6.10 [16:50] tensorpudding, doesnt say in the system mon..let me look under htop [16:51] Pici: this is weird ... they should naturally be a command that retrieves the KeyID from a repository ... so I really wanna know that command. [16:51] ya running as root [16:51] Pici: *they = there [16:51] xrdodrx, thanks. Got a friend who wants to dip a toe in and give it a try.. but the only spare he has lying around is an old g4 [16:51] ActionParsnip, I was doing a backup because I was leaving the country.. but suddenly there where a lot of problems and I was in a hurry.. so I let the computer to my brother and asked PLEASE to do not delete the ubuntu partition.. he misunderstood and tought I told him to delete the ubuntu partition :P.. I have backup of most of the important things however, work and college assignments.. but personal stuff like photos or things I don't know about [16:51] scythefwd, might want to try debian :) [16:52] ActionParsnip: Do you know of any linux commands that can retrieve the KeyID from a repository ? [16:52] Ramb0: HAHHAHAAHHAA how stupid... [16:52] Ramb0: all i can suggest is foremost [16:52] Ramb0: I LOLed [16:52] coraxx, apt-key list maybe? [16:52] ok now it says its running as the user account...but. still nothing [16:53] xrdodrx - he's about 600 miles away, so I can't really be there to help him. [16:53] coraxx: if you get the GPG key in a terminal, you can run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com KEYHERE [16:53] tensorpudding, not i got this desktop flashing thing that happens when i try and fire it off [16:53] but nothing appearns [16:54] ActionParsnip: yeah I know!!!...but I don't have the 'KEYHERE'...that is the one I'm looking for [16:54] I'm running out of partition space, but there is more space on my hard disk, is there a way to resize the partition while in-session (so without a live-cd)? [16:54] dabukalam, yeah... it wasn't that funny for me :P [16:54] coraxx: then run: sudo apt-get update you will get the 16 character hex key to add [16:54] Omega, you can only resize the partition on-the-fly with special filesystems, not with ext [16:55] rumpe1: thanx for the command, however it only shows the KeyID for pub_keys that has already been installed...not the KeyID for the respositories with missing pub_keys. [16:55] coraxx: if you use add-apt-repository instead of adding stuff in sources.list etc, you won't get the issue [16:55] Hi, Does Ubuntu allow to reuse a socket even if in TIME_WAIT state? [16:55] rumpe1: I'm using reiserfs [16:55] coraxx, well... then check the reps in sources.list/sources.list.d, which aren't listed [16:56] Omega, don't know reiserfs [16:56] regex compatible with Ubuntu? [16:56] for scripts [16:56] konsumer, yes [16:56] konsumer: whole sentences? [16:56] konsumer, but there are several different regex-standards [16:56] ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get update ....its a 'dirty' trick to provoke an error message, that contain the KeyID ...anyways, it doesn't seem to work for me in my case. [16:56] szal, :) [16:57] coraxx: not a dirty trick at all, why is it dirty? [16:57] rumpe1, looks like its compatible. i finally found the article for sockets [16:57] Thanks for the info :) [16:57] 有没有中国人呀 [16:57] coraxx: can you pastebin the output please [16:57] !cn | zzxworld [16:57] zzxworld: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [16:58] JOIN ubuntu-cn [16:58] type /join #ubuntu-cn [16:58] Question - when you right click the menu up top in gnome 2.x, it says "edit menus." Is there a way to remove that option? I'm setting up an Ubuntu image for a lab and I don't want students to be able to get to edit menu and re-add games and stuff I blocked out. [16:58] now i wanna see whats going on in there :P [16:58] -_-! thanks [16:58] :P [16:59] #join [16:59] hey everyone. If I click on a usb stick in locations, it is automatically mounted and opened. But if I mount it in the terminal with "mount", I need to manually make the mount point, and be root to mount it [16:59] roasted: if you uninstall alacarte, does the package manager want to gut the OS?

But mount /dev/sdc1 doesn't work, and there is also no mountpoint for the memorystick in /media for instance [17:01] Is there a reason a torrent will almost finish downloading to like say 99.83% and just hangs and will not finish? I use Deluge instead of Transmission as a torrent client. [17:01] ActionParsnip: pastebin ...which info would you like ? [17:01] roasted, or you can try to locate the menu-config-files and disable write-permission [17:01] ActionParsnip: or rather....what output would you like to have ? [17:01] what should i do to see the qdebug or kdebug messages in terminal [17:02] rumpe1, I'd still like "administrator" to have access to it, and just restrict everyone else. [17:02] Hi all, I have been trying to set up eBox on my 10.04 server (followed ubuntu server guide). I already run a site on port 443, in the setup I changed the port to 10000 but looking at the logs it is still trying to run apache on port 443. I did a dpkg-reconfigure ebox and tried resetting the port to 10000 (and other ports) but each time i look at the logs after restarting the ebox service it is trying to use port 443. Can anyone help? [17:03] ActionParsnip, I guess nautilus and gnome do all sorts of magic things that the "mount" commandline tool doesn't do. I am wondering what nautilus/gnome are doing [17:03] roasted, thats the magic of file permissions ... e.g. owner: admin:admin permissions: rw-rw-r-- [17:04] roasted: Did you look at the links I gave you at all? [17:04] rumpe1, good thought. I just wonder where the edit menus thing resides. [17:04] SmokeyD, usually they use FUSE (filesystem in userspace), which mounts to $HOME/.gvfs [17:04] Pici, oh yes. I'm reading through them now. [17:04] Pici, just continuing a side conversation, that's all. :) [17:04] rumpe1, a usb stick is mounted to /media/ [17:05] try it: put a usb stick in your machine, open the location in nautilus, and check your /media folder [17:05] it is there === centaur5_ is now known as centaur5 [17:05] WriteLn.Console("Hello"); [17:06] Hey guys how are you? [17:07] delki8: doing ok...that u for asking...and yourself ? [17:07] silly floridians. they're just gonna get scrapped off the surface... again [17:07] SmokeyD, well... FUSE isn't always used, e.g. if one was mounted earlier manually to a specific folder(?not sure) or has a fstab entry. [17:07] delki8: *that = thank [17:08] firefox seems to be quite flaky these says.. it freezes on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14646334 for example [17:08] this is 3.6.20 [17:08] anyone else see this? [17:08] lesshaste: does it freeze on any other URL's [17:08] you have to click on "live updates" [17:09] coraxx, im ok [17:09] rumpe1, no my ubstick has no fstab entry. I don't know about fuse, but I know that in ubuntu, you can plugin any usb drive, and it is automatically mounted in /media with the mountpoint being the label of the filesystem, without that mountpoint being present before [17:09] ikonia-remote: it seems to freeze on pages that update themselves.. presumably it can't cope with the javascript [17:09] lesshaste: any other non-BBC examples ? [17:09] did someone here know if in 11.10 gnome 2 will be a option? [17:09] rumpe1, it also works in my livecd [17:09] no [17:09] delki8: it'll be gone completely [17:09] ikonia-remote: I don't have any now as I don't use non-BBC pages often :) But I have seen it [17:09] delki8: replaced by gnome 3 [17:10] lesshaste: are you using a 32-bit Flash plugin on a 64-bit installation of Ubuntu ? [17:10] delki8: no, and you can ask further questions regarding it in #ubuntu+1 [17:10] tensorpudding, ya so i can create a folder on the desktop and then open it with nautilus but i cannot creat a launcher for it and i cannot launch if from the menu [17:10] coraxx: I don't think the updates and controlled by Flash [17:10] I'm having some problems running do-release-upgrade [17:10] seems to be looking for old lucid packages [17:10] tensorpudding, dont know what that means but thought it might help [17:10] grendal-prime: have you tried logging out and seeing if it persists? [17:10] any ideas? [17:10] coraxx: a good question.. let me check that .. uname says i686 which means 64 bit right? [17:11] h00k, thx for that [17:11] coraxx: about:plugins says Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181 how do I tell if that is 32 bit? [17:11] lesshaste: i686 would be 32-bit [17:12] Did someone could install with success the new Gimp 2.7.3 in 11.04? Im having some troubles... [17:12] tensorpudding, yes several times. Also everything will work so long as i dont go to my home dir...must be some sort of permissions problem? [17:12] ikonia-remote: no...but flash sometimes interferes with the stability of firefox and its scripting system [17:12] tensorpudding: oh yes.. sorry [17:12] coraxx: I am on 32 bit linux it seems [17:12] grendal-prime: maybe [17:12] lesshaste: "x86_64" is 64-bit .... i686 is 32-bit [17:12] I've never seen flash have an effect on anything other than flash [17:12] grendal-prime: your home directory is normal right? [17:13] coraxx: right.. I am on 32 bit [17:13] ya.. i mean its the user that was created on system creation [17:13] coraxx: this page is just wrong http://computerandu.wordpress.com/2011/05/07/how-to-know-if-im-running-32-bit-or-64-bit-ubuntu/ [17:13] coraxx: which is what I read [17:13] coraxx: "Conclusion: x86_64 (or i686) denotes 64 bit and x86 (or i386) represents 32 bit." [17:13] ya perms are drwxr-xr-x owned by user1:user1 [17:13] so hmmm [17:13] werid [17:13] does the ubuntu alternate installer version come without all the optional software? [17:13] hello is ther a way to provide a diffrent instalation source before instaling ubuntu (while on live session)? [17:14] coraxx: if you click live updates on that page.. does it freeze? [17:14] hello [17:14] asch, Hello [17:14] lesshaste: no freeze here [17:14] ikonia-remote: I have seen on 64-bit Ubuntu installations ...that the standard plugin in the "restricted ubuntu packages" is 32-bit ...which means Ubuntu uses an nswrapper plugin thing, that messes with the "plugin-container" which messes with the execution of client-scripts, such as Javascript [17:14] viller: the alternate and normal install will give you the same system, afaik. the only difference is the installer (and the alternate installer has some extra options.. encryption and such) [17:14] three cheers for suspend breaking every damn week!!! [17:14] szal: which firefox version? [17:14] Hey ubuntu is based on debian so yeap you can install from other source you can even make a instalation cd if you know how [17:14] lesshaste: hang on...I'll chechk [17:14] lesshaste: 6 [17:15] szal: is that an ubuntu version? [17:15] tensorpudding, onlything in the dir not owned by the user is .htoprc that is root:root and .gvfs is werid...basically a bunch of ???????? [17:15] whatever that means [17:15] hmmm [17:15] lesshaste: yes [17:15] LordShiva: dont!! mix debian with ubuntu-repos [17:15] coraxx: but nothing else other than flash runs in a plugin [17:15] grendal-prime: that's probably not the problem [17:15] thanks Slart [17:15] Download debian standard instalation cd and after installing upgrade from terminal :p :p :p :P [17:15] viller: you're welcome [17:16] amd64 is just the architecture codename? It works on all common 64-bit processors right? [17:16] Well iceroot_ dont ever use a ubuntu repo :p [17:16] only debian :) [17:16] hi :-) [17:16] viller: yup [17:16] LordShiva: #debian [17:16] LordShiva: Can you please stay on-topic here. This is an Ubuntu channel. [17:16] okay thanks again :) [17:17] oh yeap hehe so many haters :p [17:17] anyone with any info about changing ports when using ebox? [17:17] LordShiva: This place is for support, not joking around. [17:17] this suspend not working is REALLLY annoying. i only ever discover it when i need to actually go to sleep instead of spending 6 hours trying to figure out why it doesn't work, the rest of the time i'm too busy getting ACTUAL work done [17:17] Isn't just a fact taht our developers i mean debian and ubuntu are basically often same ppl :p [17:17] ok [17:18] LordShiva: you have a support-question? else please be quit [17:18] !offtopic [17:18] #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! [17:18] ikonia-remote: yes... but software is tricky ... if a plugin uses too much of the CPU Load ...other processes within the software might freeze and therefore timeout ...some errors you get notified of...other you might not [17:18] Pici: The guidelines say nothing about "joking around". [17:18] !joke [17:18] You might think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users who follow your advice or irritate people who attempt to answer your question. [17:18] !behelpful [17:18] As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [17:19] tensorpudding, ya that gvfs thing is werid [17:19] Well the best sort of a support that you could give to a ubuntu user is to tell them to read RTFM and to use Debian instead ! Actually to learn something ! :) [17:19] Maybe arch and gentoo too :0 [17:19] im wondering if thats not causeing the problem [17:19] I'm here to help them too :0 [17:20] and i cannot delete it as the root user..tells me permission denied [17:20] i'm using ubuntu on Asus EEE 720 for IRCing [17:20] viller: no amd64 is amd's implementation of the 64 bit codeset. x64 is intels, as well there is ia64 out there (itanium) [17:21] this is like a 90s [17:21] So I just upgraded my machine from 10.something to 11.04 [17:21] when I reboot it hangs at Checking battery state [17:21] any ideas? [17:22] asch: do you have a support question? If not, you can join us in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:22] Any Qt repos for 10.10 out there that can give me a newer version than the one 10.10 ships? [17:22] viller: I believe for the core instruction set they are the same, but there are differences when you get to extended instruction sets? [17:22] lesshaste: I think the BBC page has a lot of Javascript...some that might be used to start the Flash-videos ...I'll recommend you upgrade your flash from 10.3rc (which was what you wrote if I'm not mistaken)...to version 11.01 [17:22] elb0w, do you have an nvidia card? [17:22] elb0w: Were you using a proprietary video driver before you upgraded? [17:23] yes I have nvidia [17:23] tasslehoff: which is? (Qt version) [17:23] It cant load the kernel [17:23] I need to reload it? [17:23] szal: 4.7.0 I believe [17:23] I renamed the old xorg.conf [17:23] trying that [17:24] Pici: tnx [17:24] lesshaste: just tested on one Ubuntu with Flash 11.1 ...and also on an older installation with a previous Flash player....<--- that one froze...and came back after a while. The 11.1 worked flawlessly. [17:25] hi, i am having a issue with version 10.04 and my cpu is creating issues... it keeps spiking and ubuntu overheats my core [17:25] elb0w: ctrl-alt-f1 to gain console.

[17:41] coraxx: ah so that repo was 64 bit only.. ok thanks [17:41] lesshaste: worst case scenario is to go to Adobe own page and download it there ...and overwrite the one file that the plugin consist of.

[17:59] ActionParsnip: I have not downloaded from the Download page at caucho.com/download ...I have added their repository ...and yes I do get updates ...just got one today. [18:00] coraxx: the page isn't a ppa [18:00] ..working at it slowly.. :p.. [18:00] coraxx: I think I found something [18:01] coraxx: http://caucho.com/resin-4.0/admin/starting-resin.xtp#DebianUnixaptget [18:01] ActionParsnip: If you mean its not part of launchpad.net...then yes I know ..if you mean its not a repository where Ubuntu will check for updates when added to its Third-party software list, then yes it is. [18:01] Hi all. I've just installed Natty, and have copied over my Windows fonts (Calibri, Cambria, Arial, etc) so that I can use them in word processing when necessary. I'm also using Libre Office, and for both Arial and Calibri (and some other fonts as well), font smoothing is just... off. [18:01] ActionParsnip: ok...hang checking it out :-) [18:02] For example, when I type out a sentence in Calibri in Libre Office, there are odd spaces between letters and things don't look quite right - but when I print it, it looks perfectly normal. [18:02] coraxx: if you add that line then in /etc/apt/sources.list then run: sudo apt-get update you should see a GPG key error which you may be able to get the key with a groovy command [18:02] ActionParsnip: yes...that is probaly the page where I got the repository information the first time...however they did NOT provide a key. [18:02] I've checked my font smoothing settings and so forth, and I've edited .fonts.conf to fix bitmap issues when scaling, but it still isn't right - and Arial has never really looked correct to me in Linux. Maybe that's because I have to spend most of my time in Windows. [18:03] ActionParsnip: yes I SHOULD....however I don't :-) [18:05] well, it looked like it went through that time, but i'm not quite sure why. [18:06] Veritasiness, yeah, it's because you have embedded bitmaps enabled. === ubuntu_ is now known as y4h0 [18:06] Veritasiness, give me a second, i'll paste what you need to add to ~/.fonts.conf :) [18:06] xrdodrx no, I fixed thjat already [18:06] coraxx, is it possible that you enabled unauthenticated repos in apt ? [18:07] Veritasiness, do you mind taking a screenshot? [18:07] Sure. [18:07] glebihan: yes I HAVE actually added a repository...that is not authenticated, as the public-key is missing. [18:07] wow [18:07] glebihan: ...which is what I'm trying to get :-) [18:07] Lemme just upload it real fast, xrdodrx [18:08] never told ubuntu to delete everything [18:08] apparently upgrade means delete [18:08] awesome.. [18:08] elb0w: no, it doesn't [18:08] bah! ok, yet another case of mysterious breakdowns that don't behave well. Feels like this whole computer is acting up with the rare mystery shutdown and programs acting oddly and whatnot. === lucas_ is now known as lucasBe [18:08] coraxx, that's not what I meant, you said you were not getting an error with apt-get update, so I wondered whether you did configure apt to allow unauthenticated repos [18:09] xrdodrx http://static.inky.ws/image/609/image.jpg [18:09] coraxx: all I can suggest is to contact them === josh__ is now known as JoshOvki [18:09] coraxx: it doesn't break stuff, its just good to have [18:09] xrdodrx Arial also has always looked awkward to me on Linux distributions; somehow it renders differently than it does on Windows. That's not really something I expect fixed, though. :P [18:09] glebihan: OIC ...ok...I haven't done it actively if that is what you mean ...can it be done unintentioanlly ? [18:10] coraxx, no [18:10] how do i turn off this stupid 'ubuntu one' toolbar thing? [18:10] to me it looks like your font kerning is all off, especially with the characters i and s [18:10] ActionParsnip: yeah ...I sort of a perfectionist when it comes to software repos ;-) ...but thank you very much (again) for your time as allways :-D [18:10] I'm not terribly sure how to fix that though :( [18:11] glebihan: ok [18:11] xrdodrx Yeah. It doesn't happen in other fonts, either... [18:11] where did you get the fonts from and how did you instal them? [18:11] rhizmoe, you can remove it all together in synaptic=icon gone [18:11] Any way to see current CPU status in Ubuntu? [18:11] Davion: status ? [18:11] Davion: top [18:11] yes, same as window [18:11] win7>ubuntu [18:11] windows 's resource monitor [18:11] Davion: what do you mean, like usage ? [18:11] urlin2u: the "these files are not backed up..." thing? === theyseemetrlolin is now known as Boogalooga [18:11] Davion: there is resource monitor in ubuntu too [18:12] xrdodrx I just copied them from my Windows fonts directory. I'm using WUBI, so /host/Windows/Fonts [18:12] Davion, hit the ubuntu button and type "system monitor" until it appears [18:12] rhizmoe, ? [18:12] you can also launge gnome-system-monitor from a terminal [18:12] Veritasiness, version of Windows? [18:12] xrdodrx 7. [18:12] Because I do the exact same thing [18:12] yes, what I was looking for xrdodrx thanks [18:12] and mine are fine :( [18:13] well, if you're not a developer or commercial datacenter etc. works employee [18:13] linux is kinda booring [18:13] coraxx: anytime dude, thanks for being courteous and patient :D [18:13] xrdodrx I dunno. It's just odd. I had kind of hoped to use Ubuntu as a place for distraction-free work, but I think the way some things appear will probably distract me enough :P [18:13] coraxx: makes support much more pleasant and easier [18:13] Davion: Yep, you got it. [18:13] Veritasiness, do you mind pasting your .fonts.conf for me? [18:14] urlin2u: http://i.imgur.com/o4mYz.png [18:14] ActionParsnip: so very true...and likewise to u [18:14] !offtopic | Davion terry_ [18:14] Davion terry_: #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! === shadey is now known as shadey_work [18:14] he's right [18:14] xrdodrx I just reset my smoothing settings... it does look better now. [18:15] rhizmoe, if your using it which you should have mentioned of course don'y remove it, the icon live with it. ;-) [18:15] hi [18:15] why the heck every time I do a dist upgrades it take 2-3 hours at least? [18:15] rhizmoe: you can get pidgni 2.9 via their PPA you know, or do you specifically want that version? [18:15] hi all, I'm trying to use "-features=extensions" option, but I for the following error. cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-features=extensions". What am I missing? [18:16] I know the answer, because APT sucks hard [18:16] hello everyone. I'm trying to run ubuntu 11.04 live on my toshiba sattelite 350 laptop but it gives me a black screen... Linux Mint live did work fine though. Is this a known issue? [18:16] kkuno: Yes, it does, and it takes ages to configure the packages [18:16] yeah [18:16] kkuno, your not doing it often enough sounds like, or a very slow internet speed [18:16] wow why did i upgrade [18:16] what a p.o.s. [18:16] urlin2u, no after the downloads [18:16] kkuno: use apt-fast instead of apt-get then :) [18:16] kkuno: How long do you expect it to take? You know, there is an alternative? [18:16] it takes hours for configuring packages [18:17] kkuno: that's your drive speed and CPU [18:17] kkuno: Try fresh install ? [18:17] urlin2u: the thing is, it just showed up in nautilus like that. today. [18:17] Anyone know what Wubi creates in the MBR when you tell it you cant boot a live cd [18:17] well I did a fresh install 3 hours ago [18:17] kkuno, they take that ong fresh instals are much faster. [18:17] the first thing I've made was upgrading [18:17] ong* [18:17] laos: Installing trough Windows, you mean? [18:17] ActionParsnip: dude, it's just a download folder, not a repo. [18:17] laos: It adds entries to boot.ini [18:17] I've tried this with different modern pcs [18:18] @theadmin not exactly. wubi had some sort of function to allow me to boot the live CD - so i used it, now i installed ubuntu, its on a real partition on a real drive, but grub is either broken, or something and i'm only getting Win7 [18:18] im getting an ubuntu option, but it doesnt go to my install [18:18] I have a good pc, 2 years old, tried with a quad core, everytime the dist upgrade is way too slow [18:18] laos: Ah, sounds like a Grub problem, yeah [18:18] with archlinux, no problems [18:18] 10 mins and the system is upgrade [18:18] kkuno, a separate home and fresh installs are what many do. [18:18] d [18:18] rhizmoe: https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=natty [18:18] kkuno: Arch, cleverly enough, does not autoconfigure packages. Apart from postinstall scripts maybe [18:18] kkuno: arch also uses apt... [18:18] @theadmin i hate grub problems... [18:19] ActionParsnip: Sorry, lolwut? [18:19] ActionParsnip: Arch uses pacman [18:19] ActionParsnip, no, it uses pacman [18:19] kkuno: Or just back up home to flash drive and replace files as needed afterward. [18:19] thought it could use apt too.. [18:19] @theadmin to repair grub and recover windows, know any guides for that? [18:19] terry_, yeah, but why apt can't do this for me? [18:19] ActionParsnip: Maybe... if you're crazy enough to use apt there and wish to compile the whole apt suite from source [18:19] why windows is 10x faster than ubuntu when upgrading [18:20] and archlinux too [18:20] ^^ [18:20] kkuno: Why is it such a problem, (the time it takes)? [18:20] laos, do you get a grub menu at powering on? [18:20] because 3 hours for upgrading is frankly too much [18:20] kkuno: Really, MS Windows upgrades faster? [18:20] hi all [18:20] terry_, nope, but faster then ubuntu [18:20] @urlin2u i get "Windows Boot Manager" with Windows 7 and Ubuntu as options [18:21] Windows 7 goes to Win7 just fine, Ubuntu goes to "infiniram" on a terminal [18:21] laos: initramfs, maybe? [18:21] initramfs - yes, pardon my spelling :P [18:21] laos, take a look here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 [18:21] Hi, I*ve a problem about building deb packages. Everythink works great package instaööe [18:21] uninstalling ubuntu one didn't fix it. [18:22] Hi, I*ve a problem about building deb packages. Everythink works great package installs correctly…. but when I add some mkdir statements in the rules file apt-get gives me som eerror…like size missmatch [18:22] rhizmoe, have you logged out then back in? [18:23] rhizmoe, that icon is the mail one as well right? [18:23] kkuno: I think you would have to compare how many apps are being upgraded / replaced, (before you could make an accurate comparison MS Windows distribution upgrade vs Ubuntu). But I never have timed either one. I just pull the triger and do other stuff, (I never know when it's finished, I could care less if it takes all night long.) [18:23] hi asymetrixs [18:23] the mail one? [18:23] rhizmoe, looks like a envelope [18:24] @urlin2u i want to remove the Ubuntu from Windows Boot Manager and keep win 7 so that when i reinstall via live it ownt detect ubuntu and just windows, is that possible? [18:24] id also format the drive i have ubuntu installed on [18:24] laos, yes go to add remove in admin. [18:24] in windows? [18:24] laos, yes [18:25] join ##horseshit [18:25] ok, i'll give that a whirl - thanks a lot [18:25] laos, there is also a remove in the ubuntu folder as well. [18:27] damn I love ubuntu :) [18:27] kkuno: If the time a distribution upgrade takes is important to you, just backup /home and do fresh install, you'll be done a lot faster. [18:28] jiss_: What did you do? [18:28] terry_, ok thanks [18:28] I have an error in position 1335 of a .yml, how can I find that location with gedit? [18:29] running install from an usb drive, it works fine but I can't seem to run the "live" version from it without having a black screen after the ubuntu logo (on purple background) [18:29] any idea why my keyboard repeat is disabled upon restart...if I go into the keyboard prefrenced I can turn it back on by making a change, but every restart it stops (11.04 ubuntustudio) [18:29] can't decide between ubuntu and mint lol [18:29] duker: cat -n will give you line numbers [18:30] jiss_: Mint is a lot friendlier and has a imo better interface [18:30] coraxx, I was checking, and it seems apt does warn you about authentication because the repo is not signed [18:30] So position 1335 would be line 13 char 35? [18:30] coraxx, when trying to install a package, it should warn you about it not being authenticated === Mud is now known as Guest71827 [18:30] theadmin: does it mean it works more like Windows does? [18:31] jiss_: Not at all [18:31] duker: cat -n file-name.yml |grep 1335 [18:31] will show you the line [18:31] Thank you :D [18:32] glebihan: that sounds right. In that is the case, the question becomes --> Is there a way to 'mark' a repository as 'safe' or 'authenticated' by the user [18:32] Mint sure looks neat anyway... I hope I'm not missing anything the vanilla Ubuntu has [18:32] jiss_: Not. [18:32] coraxx, I don't think so [18:32] jiss_: Except support in this channel [18:32] duker: But, the way some files are read, comment lines are ignored, and so, in that case, you would need a workaround. [18:33] glebihan: then there is a huge functional issue in regard to server-installations and repositories not supported by Ubuntu [18:34] hi all, any way I can display / install packages recommended by currently installed packages? [18:35] that question makes no sense [18:35] you want currently installed packages.... to give you advice on what you should install next? [18:35] mgj: It does [18:35] coraxx, I don't see it that way, a repository should always be signed, that is the way to handle "trusted" repos [18:35] mgj: Apt has "recommends", which are "optional dependencies" of a sort [18:36] really? [18:36] mgj: Yeah [18:36] thats dumb [18:36] but cool, i didnt know that [18:36] mgj: Much less used than with Pacman for instance, but it's true [18:36] mgj: It's not dumb, it's like "this program needs this package for extra functionality, but can work without it" [18:36] like you said, optional dependencies [18:37] has nothing to do with "recommendations" [18:37] either you want the functionality, or you dont [18:37] the package itself doesnt care [18:37] Hm, nothing is returning when I do that, must be a wacked out error - silly minecraft [18:37] mgj: either way, that's what it's called in dpkg - Recommends [18:37] mgj: there's also Suggests [18:38] duker: grep -v '^[[:space:]]*#' file-name.yml |grep 1335 #To ignore comment lines, (lines beginning with #). [18:38] I'll give it a shot, thanks :D [18:39] hello [18:40] Saviq, so dpkg can 'recommend' or 'suggest' a list of seemingly random packages that you may or may not need/want. I dont see the purpose of that. If you want some specific functionality from a package that it does not come with by default, you most likely know precisely what extra package(s) you need [18:40] Could i get some help? I've just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my Dell Latitude D531 and the wireless card doesnt work at all, but in windows its not a problem could i get some help?? Ps: Im running 64bit [18:41] mgj: not "random" [18:41] mgj: defined by the packager [18:41] think plugins, for example [18:41] random. You have no way of knowing what the suggested/recommended extra packages are used for [18:41] there are some plugins that are recommended for the most common functionality [18:41] What's the difference between suggests and recommends? [18:41] and some plugins may be suggested for additional capabilities [18:41] unless that is, you already know that beforehand [18:42] in which case recommended/suggested is useless [18:42] theadmin: recommends are installed by default by e.g. aptitude, suggests are not [18:42] Saviq: Oh [18:42] the details are here (there is also enhances and pre-depends) http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html [18:43] I am working on a Cloneing system ... I am using CloneZilla Server ... I am wondering if it is possable to use one image of like ubuntu 11.04 to restore to 5 diffrent types of computers ... and another image to restore several Xp boxes ... or is there some other way that i cant get these os's to load to diffrent types of computers ? [18:43] is &1 equivalent of dev/null ? [18:43] Still nothing; there are far fewer than 1335 lines in the file. The error is refering to special charactors #FFFD in position 1335 [18:43] rickard: No, it's for STDOUT === Taftse2 is now known as Taftse [18:43] rickard: 2>&1 means "redirect STDERR to STDOUT", is very commonly used for some reasons [18:44] I'm a total newbie so should I go for standart Ubuntu 11.04 or the latest Mint? I'm used to the sober WinXP interface, I edit videos and music often, I use it on a laptop with 3GB ram, 2.10Ghz core 2. [18:45] jgcampbell300: no idea about windows, but you can restore Ubuntu to different hardware and it will do a reasonable job of detecting what it is running on and working. Might have some issues with proprietary graphics drivers. [18:45] jiss_: standard Ubuntu 11.04 [18:45] also I use MIDI input a lot [18:46] jiss_: Mint is good. [18:46] !mint [18:46] eh.. okay :S [18:46] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [18:46] jiss_: It's interface is somewhat Windows-similar [18:46] jiss_, you are asking an ubuntu vs mint question.... in an ubuntu channel? =) [18:46] i wonder what kind of responses you are gonna get... [18:46] jiss_: Ubuntu however... [18:46] mgj: *points at themselves* ;) [18:46] theadmin, how do I send both stdout and stderror to dev null? [18:47] well ubuntu is the best default option for me... it's true I should ask mint users directly though, thanks for pointing it out [18:47] rickard: command > /dev/null 2>/dev/null [18:49] rickard, theadmin see http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html - looks like "... &>/dev/null " should work [18:50] quit [18:51] AlanBell, thank you .. that helps for my linux boxes ... anyone know about the xp box's ? [18:51] zykotick9, theadmin Does it matter if I dont set the output, I mean.. it will never be seen anyway cause the script is run from cronjob? [18:51] rickard: True [18:52] theadmin, or does it affect memory or something? [18:52] !windows [18:52] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

I will set them to dev/null to be sure :) [18:53] Hello, I'm looking for a netfilter rule/module that could mark a udp packet when a number of concurrent connections is reached. For instance if there are more than 4 udp connections alive, iptables marks the packets. When the number of concurrent connections goes below 4, iptables does not mark them.

I use 10.10 and asus K50IJ [18:59] oCean. Yes I know. I've posted the same message on #netfilter channel. No answer. So I'm trying this one because it's a much more active one. [18:59] I just finished installing ubuntu 64bit again, as well as uninstalled wubi - however when i boot it goes straight to windows [18:59] should i treat this as a "windows has wiped out ubuntu" scenario?

[19:15] gigenieks: Do you know the ip address of the router? [19:16] no one knows if there is a driver for the sharp al-1655cs printer? [19:16] Jordan_U: sec will ask him [19:16] coleix, have you opened the printer apps and looked? [19:17] yeah doesn`t find the drivers on its own [19:17] Jordan_U: he said that he don't know. BTW he have installed on that PC also XP, and it XP everything works (is internet) [19:18] 10 bucks to whoever comes here and fix flexget for me [19:18] first come, first serve [19:18] :P [19:18] i`ve been looking on google for the drivers for the printer and the fingerprint reader but no luck [19:19] Merlinux: /j #flexget [19:19] Oh there's such a channel eh [19:20] thanks qin <3 [19:20] Merlinux: Send you my paypal in msg ;p [19:20] ;) [19:21] anyone pair a android with ubuntu with success? [19:21] coleix, here is al ink I think sharp is not a good choice probably, no support from them. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers#Supported%20Printers [19:21] ive tried several times over the last year or two with no luck [19:21] DeviceZer0: What's the big problem? It works out of the box normally, at least via USB [19:21] DeviceZer0: Not sure what you mean by "pair" [19:22] I'm hoping to version a PHP project from my home directoy. I'm going to point a virtual host on apache to ~/public_html/myphpproject. Now, I know in order for files to be available to my apache server, I either need to change permissions on the files to 777 or change ownership to www-data. Could I leave the .git folder owned by me? [19:22] theadmin, well i can "pair" it...but im uable to send/receive files or do anything and it shows up as "paired but not connected" [19:22] Im trying to copy a file.. 1,5gb to my usbstick.. it goes fast to about 200mb then it lagging and go very slow.. anyone? [19:22] DeviceZer0: bluetooth is very slow, just use usb [19:23] or dropbox for that matter [19:23] G00053, yea i know. But id still like to have bt working. [19:23] DeviceZer0: Oh, bluetooth [19:23] DeviceZer0, bluetooth is bad. And even worse on android. Is this your own application or? [19:23] mgj, nope. [19:24] mgj: It's even worse on iPhone :D [19:24] i just thought it would be nice to have wireless link to comp [19:24] how might I go about decrypting the desktop of a user's home directory? The only thing I can seem to find is using the encryptfs recovery stuff-- but it's somewhat old [19:24] worse than "not working at all" ? Thats impressive =) [19:24] Hello, I have a strange problem. Many of the modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf are still being loaded. This means my graphics drivers are messed up, and I get that annoying system beep. Can anyone help me? [19:24] rickard, can you get it transfered? [19:24] DeviceZer0, if you want wireless, use wifi [19:24] DeviceZer0: If your phone have wifi, you can use ssh [19:24] yea i know there are *many* better options. [19:24] urlin2u, I guess if I wait an hour or so.. [19:25] I was trying to change my username and in turn messed up the transfer and now I can't access my old home directory. [19:25] but thats not really the issue. ftp over wifi works flawless...but id still be able to pair this via bt to do other things as well [19:26] rickard, this with ubuntu, what is the sticks partitioning format? [19:26] kuzushi, in future - creating a new user vs. trying to rename an existing account, is probably a lot easier [19:26] kuzushi: you don't change usernames, you make new users and delete ones you don't want [19:26] gigenieks: Can you have him run "ping 8.8.8.8" and tell me if there are any successfull replies? If not, it would be helpfull if he could run "route -n" and "nm-tool" and pastebin the output (saving it to a flash drive if needed to transfer to a machine with working internet). [19:26] urlin2u, fat32 [19:27] auronandace, great minds... ;) [19:27] DeviceZer0, in my experience (and apparently to a few others in #android-dev), bluetooth simply does not work. It works in some very specific use-cases, like phone-to-phone, but when you try phone-to-whateverOtherDevice.... I do not know if this is a problem with BlueZ (unlikely) or just android. IMHO you would save a lot of time simply giving up on bluetooth, even tho it might seem cool [19:27] rickard: iotop to monitor transfer [19:27] rickard, computer operting system? [19:27] DeviceZer0, exactly what other things do you want to do with BT, that you cannot do with wifi? [19:27] and how do he "ping" using terminal type that "ping 8.8.8.8"? [19:28] rickard, OS and what is the data? [19:28] gigenieks: Yes. [19:29] hello, can anyone give me url to working solution for FLIP WEB CAMERA problem? I use 10.10 and asus K50IJ [19:30] Jordan_U: I told him to go ping. sec. [19:30] Is there a way to share a usb serial adapter over a network ? [19:30] nardev: with that over-abundance of information about your problem I don't know why no one has responded [19:31] urlin2u, u 11.04 data is a movie [19:31] th0r, i don't know ether :( [19:33] rickard: It's normal for a copy operation to a slow drive to appear to be going fast at first because what's really happening is that the file is being read from the faster disk and cached in memory. Once you run out of cache space you start to see how long it's actually taking to write the data to the slower disk. [19:33] When I create a WEP-WLAN hotspot an other computer can connect and can use my internet connection. But with WPA it can connect and doesn't have internet .... Why ?? [19:34] rickard, first 200mib is not possible, did you mean kib [19:34] mgj, yea. i just gave up lol. I think bluetooth in linux generally kinda sucks. I had the same problems with my old blackberry. [19:34] mgj, thanks anyways man [19:35] DeviceZer0, to be honest, its not linux. Bluetooth is just a terrible technology [19:35] out of curiousity, does it work in windows? [19:35] mgj, couldnt tell ya! :) [19:35] urlin2u: Why do you say that "first 200 mib is not possible"? [19:35] rickard, I get 20 mb with a sdhc class 10 card [19:35] ok [19:35] its not worth booting into windows to find out [19:36] you would satisfy my curiousity :P [19:36] yeah.... probably not worth it [19:36] Jordan_U, I thought they meant speed [19:36] lol [19:36] urlin2u: No, they meant that it was copying very fast for the first 200 MiB of the transfer. [19:37] Jordan_U, got it thanks.;-) [19:37] a windows computer can connect to my wpa-wlan hotspot, but it doesn't have internet connection, while WEP has ..... How to solve ?????????????????? [19:37] fix your router setup? [19:38] ask on windows support channel ? [19:38] Is there a way to only allow root to change the perms of a file, regardless of who the owner is? [19:38] mallery: That sounds like a Windows question. What does this have to do with Ubuntu? [19:38] Pici: ubuntu is the hotspot creator [19:38] .... [19:38] oh [19:39] grkblood13: Not any particulary reasonable one. What is your end goal? [19:39] Hey all - I'm using one of the Equinox dark themes on 11.04, and it seems to have applied to all of the HTML controls in Firefox. Is there a way to prevent an application from using a GTK theme ? [19:39] Jordan_U: im trying to take away a users ability to alter there authorized_keys file [19:40] grkblood13: chattr ? [19:40] Hello, it seems that update-initramfs is adding blacklisted modules to my initramfs, which is causing multiple issues. How can I stop this? [19:40] hi all, I just done installing Ubuntu and as I restarted the computer it popped up a screen says "seems like you don't have hardware to run Unity... " what should I do to get Unity work ? there is no that lunch bar on the left side of the screen [19:40] i should of mentioned i dont want to use chattr [19:40] i want to do something where root doesnt have to unchattr the file [19:41] maybe something that would only give root the ability to alter files within a given directory [19:41] regardless of the owner [19:42] dttah, run the update/ upgrade and see if a graphic driver is found, yo can use the classic desktop. [19:42] Is it possible to have evolution send an email message at a specific time? [19:42] grkblood13, You might be able to access control lists to get around openssh's owner detection thing [19:43] grkblood13: Normally, you do copy of files like this and monitor user accounts, overiting file if nessessary.

[19:45] Hello, it seems that update-initramfs is adding blacklisted modules to my initramfs, which is causing multiple issues. How can I stop this? [19:45] dttah, hard to say, do you know the graphic card. You also always run the update/upgrade in a instal. === yretssin is now known as Nisstyre [19:46] mbrigdan, use update-initramfs to update it using your blocklist [19:46] Has anybody seen this: /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_simple_async_result_take_error (natty)? [19:46] Guys how do i terminate a frozen application? i installed the sharp printer as a generic laser printer and it froze when printing a test page [19:46] coleix: xkill? [19:46] rumpe1, I've tried that, multiple times. I've used verbose mode to confirm that it's adding blacklisted modules [19:46] hi guys, i have a problem.. i have ubuntu 10.04 installed on my netbook and whenever i open the update manager, i see available updates, but when i hit the button update, i give the root pass, it says "building source packages", but after that, i get no response... and returns to the previous page... any ideas why is this happening? [19:46] urlin2u, ok, right now my system is updating the system, lets wait and see will it appear, and my second question, I have created filesystem 100GB, do you think it's enough for filesystem partition? [19:46] can someone please take a look at the depedns here http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libmono-corlib4.0-cil and tell me how can that be right? [19:47] is there something like task manager?

[19:47] coleix, gnome-system-monitor [19:48] is there a key shortcut? i had to force shutdown a second ago [19:48] urlin2u, the partition where is OS(Ubuntu) installed [19:48] dttah, depends on your needs. [19:48] coleix: also, 'top' from a terminal, but gnome-system-monitor is 'prettier' in a graphical environment [19:48] dttah, install is about 3.5 gigs. [19:49] dttah: is that for your home dir, too? [19:49] urlin2u, I'm a newbie in Linux field and im just getting started, it might seem to be less for me ? [19:49] grkblood13: out of curiosity: why do you want to do that? === R_ is now known as Guest95356 [19:49] coleix, there is no predefined shortcut to launch it, you could define one though [19:49] Saviq, no Home dir is 1.5TB the filesystem partition where is Ubuntu installed is 100GB [19:49] hi [19:50] dttah: I doubt you'll ever reach half of it... === zach is now known as fermionic [19:50] dttah, ah the root is 100 gis.

I want it to just stay in the panel like on OS X. [19:53] urlin2u, no... it did't appear:( maybe there is a option that i should turn it on to appear ? [19:54] how can i make nm-applet always stay open? [19:54] dttah, look in additional drivers in the menu, this is an area I'm not real exsperiened in just so you know I can't really help you beyond theses basic tasks. [19:55] lake, which desktop? [19:55] urlin2u, ok thanks let me check it [19:55] hello, is it a Photoshop for Ubuntu?

[20:05] urlin2u, Thanks man, you were helpful and overall these guys are cool always hand when you feel help, Thanks ) [20:05] sum1nil: Rather use less picky site. [20:05] DTTAH, good channel for sure. ;-) [20:07] Grr, this is getting annoying. Does anyone know what would cause update-initramfs to add modules that have been blacklisted? It's causing me major issues [20:07] urlin2u, :) if it's not hard for you, would your address me where should I start to learn? I come from NT systems, and I would like to learn GNU stuff... like options tricks I mean be able to handle GNU as needs and command line [20:08] DTTAH, I learned by just doing it, but I had not used a computer before, so I have no real idea's on that [20:08] urlin2u, waoo... you learned without reading books ? [20:09] DTTAH, yeah, and a ot of time on the Ubuntu Forums, I know no code per-say [20:09] urlin2u: getting up to date [20:09] urlin2u, how nice ) [20:09] DTTAH: The gate to elightement: man man [20:10] qin, I believe that man thing is kind of help app ye? [20:11] DTTAH, I learned this while pursuing a major and minor in college not even related, a bit of a addiction really.

[20:12] urlin2u, i would like to learn this like one of you ) [20:13] DTTAH, you will, I have some skils a poser really compared to a IT person [20:13] DTTAH: Something like this, google books have some nice free to read books, UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook is one of worth reading. [20:13] Help please. I just wiped 10.10 off my desktop machine replacing it with natty but have arrived at a grub rescue screen. What should I do [20:14] urlin2u, but this OS seems pretty hard, I mean GNU is ok to learn but terminal commands are mind-blowingly hard. [20:14] sum1nil, hmm this is a fresh install of Natty? [20:14] qin, let me google it [20:14] yes I told it to erase the old os [20:15] in the dialog [20:15] DTTAH, at first yes, there is also a #ubuntu-offtopic for this sort of talk, before we get the off topic bot commands [20:15] !abc | DTTAH [20:15] !abs | DTTAH [20:15] DTTAH: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems.

When I boot with the new kernel it fails after a minute or so with "Gave up waiting for root device" claiming that /dev/disk/by-uuid/THE-UUID-OF-THE-DISK doesn't exist. I don't think it's either of the usual suspects because the root and root_delay match working kernels. [20:16] sum1nil, any other OS on the computer, or additional hard drives? [20:17] If I cd to /dev/, there is no "disk" entry. I've never understood what causes something to appear in /dev/ but that definitely seems like a bad sign. [20:17] Does anyone know what would cause update-initramfs to add modules that have been blacklisted? It's causing me major issues. Thanks! [20:17] yes previously it was dual bootable with grub 2 Karmic Koala and Win 7 ; 2 500gb hard drives [20:17] Thanks ) [20:17] Combatjuan, we can't help outside of the standard kernels in ubuntu. [20:18] urlin2u: If it helps, it's build from linux-source with no modifications. [20:18] Combatjuan, Does your new kernel have an initramfs? Because you could have missed including a module you need to access your filesystem [20:18] sum1nil, have you tried switching the HD's at the bios? [20:18] how could i setup nc to list and redirect to ttyUSB0 [20:18] mbrigdan: I assume so, I copied the existing config. I'll go check. [20:19] no, I left the bios alone when I upgraded [20:19] Combatjuan, I think you need to use a command line option to get it to make one. I think the wiki has a section on "the ubuntu way", so maybe compared your commands with their commands. [20:19] sum1nil, try that first otherwise we have a script you can run to diagnose the thang [20:19] ok [20:20] be back in a bit [20:20] sum1nil, cool [20:21] Is there some firefox addon capable of blacklisting a web page so it doesn't open at all ? [20:21] lol [20:21] mbrigdan: It does have a section on making one since as of Lucid, apparently the postinst no longer makes one. But--and this is going to make you hate me more--I'm on Jaunty trying to build a 2.6.32 kernel (the Jaunty kernel I was using seems to have a bug with my hardware+sleep sometimes).

[20:25] how can I install php to use with my php+mysql? [20:25] mbrigdan: Yeah, that's the guide I followed. I initially tried to do it the new way, but that failed on two fronts: The linux-headers .deb it built had a dependency problem, and it while it did boot, it didn't recognize the network. [20:25] Still !ot would most likely be more suitable if #php is not your first choice. [20:25] sniperjo_: Hm, neat idea to share usb... lets try it. [20:25] !lamp | afeijo [20:25] afeijo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[20:26] BlueEagle: im thinking hosted cloud dev environment..? know any cases of others opting for this? [20:26] The two problems with the "new way" may well have been related. Presumably bad things are going to happen when linux-headers-XXX doesn't install. [20:26] Combatjuan, hmm. I think you've exceeded my level of expertise then. I've also got to go, sorry! Hopefully you can make it work! [20:27] oCean, i have created the command zf which will run some zend framework related stuff. but i want to edit the config of the zf command how can i do that? [20:27] mbrigdan: I appreciate you trying. Thank you. [20:27] sniperjo_: What about: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-a-usb-over-ip-server-and-client-with-ubuntu-10.04 ?

[20:28] qin: Well, really all i want to do is send serial over wifi from one computer to another [20:28] oCean, i think as an alias was a long time ago don't remember [20:28] does ubuntu still use md5+salt for passwords in /etc/passwd? [20:29] urlin2u, is there a way to make sure is my PC doing well? I mean drivers check, check is there missing anything I mean general check-up ? [20:29] jigal: you can create an alias for a certain command. For example, you can add alias cl='clear' to your ~/.bashrc file, then you could use the shorter command cl instead of clear [20:30] DTTAH, there is the smart check for the HD in disk utilities, about the length of my experience [20:30] jigal: Ctrl-l [20:30] oCean, so should i check my ~/.bashrc file? [20:31] jigal: run "which zf" [20:31] akkad: No, it uses /etc/shadow and SHA 512 + salt. [20:31] wolfez, gives me /usr/local/bin/zf [20:31] jigal: I'm still not sure what you actuall want to do. [20:31] jigal: then edit /usr/local/bin/zf [20:31] *actually [20:31] why does nautilus crash so much [20:31] amyway [20:31] akkad: No modern *NIX still uses md5 (or stores password hashes directly in /etc/passwd). [20:31] DTTAH, I saw this lately seems kinda cool, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/self-service-linux-mastering-the-art-of-problem-determination.html [20:32] DTTAH: personally I'd ignore anything ubuntugeek.com writes [20:32] how do I use dd? [20:32] ikonia-remote, it is aink to a book is all. [20:32] urlin2u, ikonia-remote let me check what it says :) [20:33] BatBlaster: to do what exactly? [20:33] makke an image of a usb drive === Cover|Fire is now known as CoverSlide [20:35] BatBlaster: check out 'man dd' from a terminal [20:35] dd if=/dev/usbdev of=/file bs=2048 [20:35] the manpage is confusing [20:35] BatBlaster: basically you'll do 'sudo dd if=/dev/usbdevicegoeshere of=/file/destination/path.img [20:36] i no has sudo [20:36] BatBlaster: dd if= of= [20:36] BatBlaster: google it [20:36] qin: had any luck ? [20:36] its confusing and dangerous if i do something dumb... [20:36] ok [20:36] Ok. I'll try another tack here. /dev/eth0 doesn't exist under this kernel. How do things get put into /dev? I thought that if I did "modprobe tg3" (the network driver) then it would be loaded and the device would appear? But apparently not. [20:37] BatBlaster: what are you trying to do with dd [20:37] BatBlaster: what do you mean, you don't have sudo? [20:37] BatBlaster: true, you have to be careful to use the correct device as input (if=) and output (of=) [20:37] Does it matter what bs you use for dd? [20:37] rypervenche: ??? [20:37] if i lock the card [20:38] ....? [20:38] its an sd card [20:38] what about locking? wth are you trying to do? [20:39] sd cards have that little tab on them [20:39] right [20:39] write protection [20:39] ok [20:39] so when i make an iage, i can't screw it up [20:40] BatBlaster: just make sur you don't overwrite your harddrive, is what I'm saying [20:40] general tip, if=device of=file, and thats *usually* safe [20:41] BatBlaster: meaning if you're trying to make an image of your sd card, you'd do something like if=/dev/mysdcarddevice of=supercoolsdcard.img [20:41] anyone having trouble with firefox 6 and dragging from address bar to bookmark toolbar folders? [20:41] urlin2u, I guess Ubuntu should have its own GNU help guide yes ? [20:41] i thought i did it from where its mounted in /media, but u know better than i do [20:42] DTTAH, not sure really, if it does or doesn't or should to be honest. [20:43] urlin2u, Thanks ) [20:44] DTTAH, with brand loyalty if you go to other linux based channels you will see, all kinds of cruft on Ubuntu validity as =even being linux rather funny really. [20:46] urlin2u, as I completed installation of Linux I realized what sort of crap is Windows' systems) no virues? no trojans and hidrags? that's just terrific ) [20:46] no one botheres when more computers can be infrecterd with a pc virus [20:47] would usbmon3 be my card? [20:47] which distro would enable wine to perform t he best [20:47] DTTAH, basically, root kits can run but need root, theoretically you could carry a .exe badware to a windows setup. [20:48] !best | pjwe [20:48] pjwe: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:48] ....ok [20:49] Hi [20:49] I would like to operate the keys with the keyboard wireless media desktop [20:49] I connected everything and used the KeyTouch program to configure the keys [20:49] urlin2u, yes but possibility is pretty low in compare with Windows' tho [20:49] I found this wiki page at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyTouch [20:49] 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) [20:50] I selected it from keytouch, and not all the keys worked [20:50] hi, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and for some reason, when I unplug my laptop, it sometimes says it's still plugged in [20:50] even after a power cycle [20:50] but sometimes it doesn't.....there's really no rhyme or reason to it [20:50] but following the keytouch editor manual, I opened Keytouch Editor to make the keyboard supported [20:50] 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 [20:50] DTTAH, yeah,I'm not worried thats for sure. ;-) [20:50] 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 [20:50] 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 [20:50] 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 [20:51] Why with keytouch editor is the keyboard recognized and with keytouch not? How can I find a solution? === jeremy is now known as Guest26485 [20:52] anything I can check? [20:53] urlin2u, one more question:) is bash programming POWERUFL stuff? judging from a lot of *nix power users they claim it can does a lot good and bad, is that true ? [20:53] gnome-power-monitor just says my laptop's always plugged in when it's obviously not [20:53] /dev/sdc1 [20:53] DTTAH, I have a cursory understand depends on its use I suspect. [20:54] hi i cant use backlight on my new laptop samsung rc520. When i use fn + light down... still is on maximum how i can repair it? [20:54] urlin2u, basically i have been told if you handle bash programming fluently it can badly harm/destroy servers,sites.... ) [20:55] the battery percentage is listed in the details if I click "preferences" on gnome-power-manager, but the icon reads that it's plugged in [20:55] anything I can check? [20:55] DTTAH, I use bash for launching a coupe of things at times, and reload the sytem on a reinstall, is all [20:56] my battery says it's plugged in, but it's not....anything I can check related to that? [20:57] was it #wine for wine-help? [20:57] magnus, #winehq [20:58] ok tnx :) [20:59] Ubuntu suddenly seems to be ignoring module blacklists. update-initramfs is adding blacklisted modules, and other modules (like pcspkr) are being loading even though they are blacklisted === Guest26485 is now known as jakemp [20:59] Can anyone help?

[21:03] urlin2u, If it's not that hard for you would you check this book for a second to suggest me Should i get started with it or it's not that good? Im completely Newbie and according to that book it amazing for beginners: people.wallawalla.edu/~larry.aamodt/engr122/TLCL-09.12.pdf Thanks [21:04] DTTAH, you have a url [21:05] Hi! Any idea why Ubuntu 11.04 is freezing always when copying files to USB stick? The mouse is moving but you cant't click anything, and screen dims a little bit to gray. It just isn't so hard task that all resources are needed when copying, and it doesn't do the same thing with windows [21:05] Has it something to do with file system with the stick or..? [21:05] urlin2u, sure there you go: people.wallawalla.edu/~larry.aamodt/engr122/TLCL-09.12.pdf You just got to copy and paste in your firefox because this not http:// thing and from chat it's not automatically recognizing it as web site [21:05] DTTAH, I found it hold on [21:06] urlin2u, Thanks nice attitude man [21:06] whats the pastebin [21:07] how can i forward /dev/ttyUSB0 over nc ? [21:07] DTTAH, hard to say for me, it's free seems to have in the table of contents the stuff needed. [21:07] how do i make a wine lauchner for a program [21:09] urlin2u, anyways I think I should give it a try... If i fail I'll look for one other book relatively easier than this ) [21:09] 1 [21:09] umm [21:10] DTTAH, thats all you can do, many say the terminal is intimidating for one, I started there so it seems like home to me [21:11] is there a chat going on here? [21:11] hi, ive sftp'ed into one of my computers on my network. im trying to copy and paste some files on that computer. however, i get an error: unknown reason. any ideas? [21:11] Can someone teamviewer into my pc and tell me wtf is going on with xchat please [21:12] iamnigel, no just you with a different nic [21:12] urlin2u, Sure, as long as you don't handle Terminal well it means you don't know Linux... it's one of the most important thing in Linux which is Linux famous with. [21:12] i'm able to create folders and delete them, create files and delete them (through sftp) but copying and pasting isn't working?!?! [21:12] rcmaehl: what are you seeing and please no cursing? [21:12] It's not accepting input [21:12] but it's running [21:13] close and restart [21:13] did that already a few times [21:13] DTTAH, thats the rumor, I like a gui if one is available. [21:13] rcmaehl_: #xchat might be a better place to ask [21:14] i'm trying to copy my music from my ipod to my music via banshee and receive this error "error while copying. there was an error getting information about "ZUGY.mp3".

[21:33] It may be that since HP went out of business, and HP owns Compaq (my laptop is a presario) the wireless driver might no longer be updated for linux [21:33] I assume that if it's restricted then the company is the ones who update it [21:33] cige: Your wireless is hp made? [21:34] the card itself? probably not let me check [21:34] cige: lspci [21:34] it's a Broadcom [21:35] Broadcom BCM4311 [21:35] cige: Than you need to wait until broadcom go bust, before panic. Also you can easly change network card in laptop [21:35] ha, yeah [21:35] I guess [21:35] hello [21:36] either way, the driver for it isn't working in this version of ubuntu === ReezingCold is now known as FreezingDroid [21:36] I was using 10.04 before this and it was all peachey then [21:37] cige: That is real problem.

[21:43] sRq: hosts.allow/deny is oldish method, but workable, with iptables you have more options. [21:43] I have some widgets on desktop that show cpu and ram usage etc, and when I press the show desktop shortcut all windows are minimized, but the widgets too. IS there any way to change this behaviour? [21:43] Its not possible, its my own space [21:44] flaming_bass, too bad [21:44] qin: any tools of making IP tables easier? [21:44] mtrd`: I love you!

Now when I open a terminal it says "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal. getpt failed: No such file or directory" [21:46] is there a way to show all the packages that are installed or a way to force a server install to revert back to a base install with NOHTING else installed without doing a fresh reload from CD? [21:46] sRq: recommended - ufw, not recommended - firestarter [21:46] qin, will conky stay up even if you press the show desktop key? [21:46] stealz: conky, yes it should. [21:47] qin: thanks!

[21:50] hi, how can i open something in the current x session remotely? [21:50] over ssh [21:50] gentoo tötet freie Meinung [21:51] qin, i believe host.allow/deny is only used for services started using inetd (which is unlikely in this day and age) [21:51] I know I am asking the most silliest question when I change fstab entry to /dev/sdc /data auto rw,users 0 0 why does it get mounted as ext4 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) ?? [21:51] Bilz: Do you have spare sata plug and cable in your desktop? [21:51] I want it writable to all users [21:52] qin, a spare i think not [21:52] flaming_bass: Do you have any Ubuntu related support questions? If not, please join #ubuntu-offtopic. [21:52] ubottu: tell flaming_bass about guidelines [21:52] flaming_bass, please see my private message [21:52] pavi, check the permission on the mount point /data [21:52] qin, will i have one in my desktop slready? [21:53] gentoo tötet freie Meinung [21:53] zykotick9, where do I check it ? [21:53] Hi - I have a desktop, dual-boot, Win7 and Ubuntu 11.04; everything was fine until today when booting to Ubuntu I ended up with a blinking cursor after (initramfs) - there is a bunch more info but I don't want to put it all here. [21:53] btw I can still boot into Win7 fine [21:53] pavi, "ls -l /data" is this a FAT/NTFS mount? [21:53] hi... at bind9 for subdomain configuration: subdomainname IN A IP does it true? [21:53] zykotick9, oops you meant the folder right ? [21:53] pavi, sorry "ls -ld /data" [21:53] gentoo tötet freie Meinung [21:54] zykotick9, yeah got it . drwx------ 2 root root no permissions will set it right [21:54] !ot | flaming_bass [21:54] flaming_bass: #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! [21:54] pavi, is this a FAT/NTFS mount? [21:54] zykotick9, nopes its ext4 [21:55] pavi, "sudo chmod 777 /data" should work then [21:55] zykotick9, Yeah got it .. damn wasn't it obvious ( blush) [21:55] is there a way to show all the packages that are installed or a way to force a server install to revert back to a base install with NOHTING else installed without doing a fresh reload from CD? [21:55] anyways thanks [21:55] Bilz: Well, ssh is as slow as your network, any phisical connection have its own limits (hard disk speed/connector speep), if you have sata drives, you should have extra sata port on motherboard, cable may be an issue. [21:55] pavi, your fstab seems to have a couple of issues, 1) there is no partition 2) you shouldn't be use /dev/sdX anymore [21:56] s/use/using/ [21:56] gentoo tötet freie Meinung [21:56] When I run "apt-get install linux-source-3.0.3" it says it can't find the package [21:57] hi [21:57] Hi. [21:57] qin, can i take the sata harddrive from my deskop and some how plug it into my laptop as an external? [21:58] Zykotick9: why should /dev/sdX not be used? just curious. [21:58] Hello all [21:58] Hi. [21:58] boot-troubles, they change, thus point to the wrong spot - use UUIDs or LABELs instead [21:59] Bilz: usb (apart of 3) is slower than sata, but faster than network, but you need sata-usb adapter to do so. [21:59] i am under Xubuntu 11.4 , this morning everything was running alright but since i restarted i have a strange interface, missing the frame and title bars of the windows, the mouse pointer is replaced by a cross [21:59] awesome, thanks qin. [22:01] Zykotick9: Thanks -- that might be part of my troubles. [22:02] So yeah, why can't Ubuntu find linux-source-3.0.3? [22:02] boot-troubles, do you know how to find UUIDs? (not my preferred method) You can use "sudo blkid". [22:03] Zykotick: No, I am an utter newb, but I do have google. [22:03] zykotick9 did it occurs after sata or ide cable inversion ? [22:03] Would you mind looking at my boot_info_script results file? http://pastebin.com/GXgV5Zxc [22:04] !tab > boot-troubles [22:04] boot-troubles, please see my private message [22:04] Nobody knows? =( [22:04] Titan, ? it can happen for several reasons, even NOT requiring hardware changes of any sort. [22:05] Hi - I have a desktop, dual-boot, Win7 and Ubuntu 11.04; everything was fine until today when booting to Ubuntu I ended up with a blinking cursor after (initramfs) - there is a bunch more info but I don't want to put it all here. [22:06] zykotick9 for me it was usually after disk order interchange, or sata cabbles lags [22:07] Ubuntu suddenly seems to be ignoring module blacklists. update-initramfs is adding blacklisted modules, and other modules (like pcspkr) are being loading even though they are blacklisted. Can anyone help? [22:07] boot-troubles, i don't personally see anything wrong in your boot_info output, sorry. But, your fstab is already using UUIDs. [22:09] FreezingDroid, does Ubuntu even have a 3 kernel? I'd be surprised, except for maybe +1 [22:09] hallo, spricht hier jemand deutsch?

I get a 'read error' on boot, and have no idea how to fix it. [22:11] hi. I just don't get it I am having no luck at all installing ubuntu. I have a standard intel PC. The main IDE hard drive is the primary master. THe installation from the CD goes well. The boot sequence is set to HD first. but every time I get hard disk erro, have to insert the ubuntu CD again. Have tried Copy LIve CD Files proceedure to re link the MBR, but nothing seems to make a difference. ANy idea before I give up? [22:13] boot-troubles, sorry "read error" on boot doesn't mean anything to me. Best of luck. [22:13] Ubuntu suddenly seems to be ignoring module blacklists. update-initramfs is adding blacklisted modules, and other modules (like pcspkr) are being loading even though they are blacklisted. Can anyone help? [22:14] zykotick9: Thanks; guess I purge Grub again, and see if anything improves. [22:14] FreezingDroid, have you seen "/msg ubottu kernel"? Only thing I can suggest, good luck. Why are you compiling a 3 kernel? Do you KNOW it supports some hardware that isn't working? [22:14] Hey guys, is Ubuntu Minimal a command-line barebone ubuntu ? I just want barebones linux + aptitude and ubuntu repos [22:14] zykotick9, yeah, I just like moving forward [22:15] FreezingDroid, good luck with that. [22:15] tase, basically, yes. [22:15] zykotick9: awesome [22:22] boot-troubles: What do you see before the read error? [22:23] can you update to 11.10 yet? [22:24] Hello all - I don't believe ubuntu is validating PEAP CA certificates during authentication [22:24] I've tried it with several dummy certificates and it never complains that the AP is invalid [22:25] Hello, How can i see the running programs cpu user percent?

[22:30] swilly, i think "top" is getting users cpu use... i am looking for programs cpu use percent.... [22:30] Well i guess I meant to say is it more forgiving now? [22:30] lol [22:30] Idk can't find the right word to use xD [22:30] NonConformist, check the winedb for windows program compatibility [22:31] boot-troubles: It doesn't sound like you're getting far enough into the boot process to use dmesg, or for anything to have been written to /var/log/dmesg . [22:31] McQueen: are you talking about CPU use for the entire system? top gives cpu use per process and which user is the owner of that process [22:32] NonConformist: I am just booting from the liveCD, but the non-unity desktop seems pretty flexible and friendly. [22:32] When I do netstat -plan | grep ssh for a server I am ssh'd into. I get unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 6858 - /tmp/ssh-bdqcol1459/agent.1459 and another one like this [22:32] This looks suspicious to me. So can anyone tell what the hell it could be [22:32] Jordan_U: Maybe not :s ... dmesg did give me quite a lot of text, though -- although this is all probably stuff from the LiveCD boot. [22:34] swilly, it is showing me on the top Mem: 516160k total, 477192k used, 38968k free, 154180k buffers.... but under this log. its listing the users and progress .... all are %0 mem [22:34] swilly, does it normal? === luigi is now known as \l === \l is now known as rmd [22:34] boot-troubles: When you boot from the CD there should be a purple screen with a picture of a keyboard, an '=' sign, and an accessabilitly symbol. If you press any key while at that screen you should get a boot menu. One of the options should be to boot from the first hard drive. Try selecting that option. === rmd is now known as luigi === pothos_ is now known as pothos [22:35] !atemyram | McQueen [22:35] McQueen: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [22:35] When I do netstat -plan | grep ssh for a server I am ssh'd into.

[22:36] sosaited, we can still see your same post from 3 minutes ago, have some patience [22:36] Jordan_U: Since this is the box with the problems, I'll need to quit for a bit -- anything else I should try? [22:37] ubottu, nope... its a vds... it has got small hardware configuration... only, i wan to learn that which progress using %mem and %cpu...

[22:39] Jordan_U: Alrighty, thanx! Back in a bit! [22:39] boot-troubles: Has Ubuntu ever booted properly from this machine, with this hard drive? [22:39] McQueen, "top" then "n" to sort by mem% [22:39] Jordan_U: No. Nor with my previous drive. [22:40] boot-troubles: Odd. Has any OS worked from either of these drives? Was it the same problem before? [22:40] Jordan_U do you have any idea how to resolve this: I have a desktop, dual-boot, Win7 and Ubuntu 11.04; everything was fine until today when booting to Ubuntu I ended up with a blinking cursor after (initramfs) - there is a bunch more info but I don't want to put it all here. [22:40] Jordan_U: However, both drives were visible, and data could be written to / read from them, so I don't think it is a hardware problem. [22:40] boot-troubles: It could be something like your BIOS not supporting SATA or something similar. [22:41] Steve Jobs just resigned. [22:41] what? [22:41] Steve Jobs what?

It reacted badly to my external USB HD, and eventually stopped working while it was attached; that's when I made the much belated leap to linux. [22:42] pingveno? [22:42] zykotick9, thank you... but i am asking a diffrent quesiton. its listing users.... all are 0% cpu and 0% mem uses.... but on the top of the log. it shows Mem: 516160k total, 477704k used, 38456k free, 154180k buffers why the list are 0% [22:42] pingveno on the general Internet, alevar on CATIRC [22:43] hello, im trying to install kile in ubuntu 11.04, i followed these instructions http://kile.sourceforge.net/help.php#compile but when i try to execute it I get an error saying: GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/build/glib2.0-2.8.6/./gio/gdbusconnection.c:2279:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL) Aborted [22:43] Is there a way to make debian/control's Provides field specify a version number?

"pasuspender wine /PATH/TO/SC2.exe" [22:49] no problem [22:49] Zero1234, pardon? [22:49] de kanker bazhang ? [22:49] zykotick9: Ah right thanks. Would I run that once SC2 is running or before?

[22:57] It's not on a computer ..... [22:57] BarkingFish, fyi kubuntu mobile != kubuntu [22:57] PDunny: you should see if kubuntu-mobile has a forum or irc channel. [22:57] zykotick9, ok, sorry - I didn't realise the two were different. [22:58] I have a locale problem with perl. How do I set localed? [22:58] locales* [22:58] try #kubuntu-mobile [22:58] BarkingFish, you don't have to be sorry, i just wanted to point out why your command wasn't working [22:58] can anyone help me update from jaunty 9.04 to 9.10 [22:58] if someone takes my public key can copies it to another machine - can they then ssh into whatever boxes are expected that key?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:59] see the last link [22:59] via editing the sourcelist [22:59] grizzly-adams: Nope, because those are not supported versions. I would recommend just going up to 11.04, or 10.04 [22:59] Problem: how do I make grub2 detect puppy-linux? I didn't install a grub because I want to use ubuntu's... [22:59] yea no i did the eolupgrades and i got nothing [22:59] zykotick9, I'm relatively new to kubuntu, about 4 weeks in, so if I bugger something up, I appreciate being told :) Thanks! [22:59] j0hndoe, try "sudo update-grub2" and see if it automatically finds it [22:59] I'm not new to linux, just on this distro [23:00] grizzly-adams: you won't be able to upgrade to 9.10 it is also eol [23:00] I have a locale problem with perl. How do I set the locales?? [23:00] !locales | Jasonn [23:00] Jasonn: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [23:00] zykotick9: why "update-grub2"? (with the 2, that is) [23:00] no one knows the answer? [23:00] szal, you can use update-grub as well [23:01] zykotick9, unfortunately it only finds two ubuntu versions. Is there any other way? sudo os-prober doesn't do much, it ask for password then nothing. [23:01] iam new to this so i can just edit the source list to the karmic repository sites and upgrade like that? [23:01] j0hndoe, ick. sorry if the automatic version doesn't work, i don't know what to suggest. good luck. [23:02] grizzly-adams: you could try but it might break a few things. I suggest a clean install of a supported version [23:02] nobody knows? [23:02] zykotick9 ty anyways, I did it before maybe the new puppy-linux is buggy. thnx anyways [23:02] Hi. How do I listen for usb events from a device? [23:02] idleone: where would i find a list of these repository sites? [23:03] fission6: no, the public key is just that: public. ssh requires client access to the *private* key when it logs in using keyed access. Anyone with access to your *private* key can impersonate you.... [23:03] How do I disable Caps Lock? [23:03] grizzly-adams: Karmic is as unsupported as Jaunty; if install sources still exist (probably under "discontinued"), you can use those to upgrade to Karmic and then further to Lucid.. but as IdleOne pointed out, a fresh install would most likely be easier === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [23:04] theres no archive of oudated releases? [23:04] Loshki how does it decode your private and check it against the public [23:04] like whats the authentication process like [23:05] grizzly-adams: there is, and it's probably in one of the links you got from ubottu.. I have once glanced over the EOL Upgrades page, and I believe that it's in there or at least can be made up with a little brain grease [23:06] hint: it's basically changing the release name [23:07] Anyway to search and see what all I have installed as far as LXDE/Gnome etc goes? [23:07] NonConformist: I dunno about phones, but there are cd-less install methods. See http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, the 'frugal install' method... [23:07] PDunny, a complete list? [23:07] PDunny, dpkg -i [23:07] PDunny, you mean anything related to lxde and gnome? [23:07] List all installed programs [23:07] thats a lot of list [23:08] Mhmm [23:08] !clone [23:08] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:08] ParkerR: wrong.. 'dpkg -i' installs packages [23:08] that will list ALL that is installed [23:08] Oh XD -l [23:08] ParkerR, its -l not i [23:08] a lot of packages are dependent on gnome and i dont know about lxde [23:12] How would I launch Unity? [23:13] hello, in the update manager, when i hit "install updates", i give the root passwd and get no respond afterwards. same goes for the software sources... ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS. Any ideas to fix it? [23:13] PDunny, at login screen choose Ubuntu session [23:13] No login screen [23:13] Straight to terminal [23:13] fission6: oh, it's a big song & dance. I seem to recall that first there's an anonymous diffie-hellman exchange using the host keys to form a unique session key for encryption, then the keyed authentication is done by encrypting a nonce with the private key and seeing if it decodes correctly using the public key (or something like that. It's been a long time....) [23:13] Is a CHRoot [23:14] please guys, if anyone can help, it's quite urgent and it'd be deeply appreciated.. :) [23:15] @PDunny Type "unity" in the terminal [23:16] It just locked it up from what I can tell, couldn't load plug-in ccp [23:16] PDunny, hmm [23:16] It's not on a computer like I said:/ [23:19] Ubuntu suddenly seems to be ignoring module blacklists. update-initramfs is adding blacklisted modules, and other modules (like pcspkr) are being loading even though they are blacklisted. Can anyone help? [23:21] Why doesn't or how can I have dash load enviornment variables set inside /etc/enviornment [23:22] * PDunny sighs === potatoe_ is now known as dlublink [23:24] anyone here an expert with backup from linux? I was considering using partimage from Knoppix Live, but I found out PartImage doesn't support ext4 filesystems.. [23:25] Ok the desktop name is hildon [23:25] i suppose rsync is also an option.. what would it take to move one partition onto a brand new hard drive? [23:25] white_magic: just dd then [23:26] help again i just changed the name on the repositories from jaunty to karmic [23:26] think thatll do the trick? [23:26] wildbat: not really an option because it would take forever to copy a 100+GB partition onto my usb 2.0 5400 rpm drive [23:27] white_magic: or plug the drive in use gparted the is copy and paste [23:27] Anyone know how to launch the hildon desktop from terminal? [23:27] grizzly-adams: NO. [23:28] white_magic: just make a partition in the new drive and rsync then .

[23:34] will those fix themselves when i upgrade to lucid? [23:34] grizzly-adams: get a 10.10 or 11.04 CD and install, make sure you uncheck the box to format /home (not to lose your files).

Same with gvfs-mount. ssh command itself works just fine. Any ideas? [23:36] Anyone know how to launch the hildon desktop from terminal? [23:37] hildon? [23:38] yessir gmachine_24 [23:38] PDunny: log out and at the login manager click on Session and select it [23:39] IdleOne - Can't log out or in lol [23:39] PDunny: then you have a larger issue at hand :) [23:39] I am not on a computer, I am on a tablet:P [23:39] And it is in CHRoot [23:40] So it just pops up a terminal and I have to do it from there [23:40] PDunny: we also don't support that, like I said you need to find the proper channel or forum and ask them. [23:41] has anyone used a hp deskjet 3052a wireless with Ubuntu? [23:42] I've moved my sister and her fam over to Ubuntu Linux, and they just went and bought this HP printer and I don't know if it will work with wireless with Linux [23:42] i don't have a Prt Scr button.. is there any kind of keyboard shortcut to take a screen shot [23:44] nevermind i changed the key binding thanks!

[23:52] I have an nvidia geforce gtx 200 card iirc [23:52] or 260 [23:53] my monitor supports 3D, I have a hdmi 1.4 cable from monitor to amplifier and some cheap hdmi to dvi cable [23:54] so I need to buy a special hdmi to dvi cable? [23:54] and most importantly does it work at all in linux? [23:55] g0th: Yeah.. nvidia have support for that in linux.. i haven't used 3d myself but my nvidia gfx drivers works well. [23:56] i configured a virtual host. i copy site-enable file which i configured before. then i edit the domain name and folder setting... but serveralias (www) is not running... what does be wrong?
