[00:00] this is on a live server [00:00] ryanf: maybe reboot [00:00] shadows090: Yes, or use a network share or something [00:00] I can't [00:00] or at least I'd rather not [00:00] Polah, ah i don't know why i didn't think of that. samba or something. thank you [00:00] ryanf: try to type sync [00:01] worst case scenario I can just replace the whole box, but it'd be nice to have a real solution for this issue since it has come up before [00:01] shadowns090, yeah the easiest for me is install apache2 and then stick the files to be shared in /var/www [00:01] hi [00:01] how do i change my default home directory [00:01] shadows090: If you're going to/from Linux then yes, Samba. [00:01] exutux: didn't do anything [00:01] shadows090: to/from Windows* [00:01] cdelapena, in /etc/passwd [00:01] K: Been a while since I've run ubuntu and I've looked online but not understanding what they're doing. On a laptop and my wirless is disabled by switch. Proper steps to get it enabled? [00:01] Polah, to/from linux [00:02] shadows090, what do i do there? [00:02] ryanf: is it possible that the file you deleted still exists somewhere else and you have just remove one physical link of a file that has several names? [00:02] shadows090: linux to linux use nfs [00:02] cdelapena, you just edit the /etc/passwd file. i think it's the second colomn that shows your home folder [00:02] *removed [00:02] shadows090: well if both machines are linux you shouldn't need samba [00:02] cdelapena, you would need to be root in order to do that. so, sudo [00:02] testib: fairly sure that's not it, because if I run a du on / I can see that the space is no longer being taken up by anything [00:02] I'll check though [00:03] Polah, exutux true. i've never used nfs, but have samba installed on the server. how do I use nfs? [00:03] cdelapena: look usermod manual [00:03] well..that's probably easiest with google i suppose [00:03] !nfs | shadows090 [00:03] shadows090: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [00:03] exutux, thank you [00:03] oh, too late, I never did an ls -l and now the file is gone [00:03] shadows090: np [00:04] but like I said, that seems very unlikely given the output of du [00:04] df must be reading out of some kind of cache right? [00:05] ryanf: could the "other name" of the file be in a folder that isn't accessible to du because there's another mounted file system hiding it? [00:05] ryanf: Did you check any trash folders? [00:05] ryanf: sudo updatedb [00:06] testib: I'm not sure I understand how that situation could arise. what do you mean by hiding? [00:06] ryanf: is the file you deleted a log file that could be open for writing by a running process? If so the space won't be freed until the process closes the file. [00:06] oh shit, that is probably it [00:06] yep [00:06] thanks!! [00:07] you are welcome :) [00:07] I assumed the process had died [00:07] Hi I have a crontab set up to run every 10 minutes, however it runs every 10 past the hour, here is the crontab -e output http://pastebin.com/6BM4fLQq [00:07] ryanf: For log files I'd recommend rewriting them with output from /dev/null rather than deleting them. That way they still exist to be written to so the program doesn't throw and error or have to make a new one, but all the data in them is removed [00:07] I have tried different variation to get it running properly [00:08] ryanf: by hiding I meant your file is in /log/file.log and you have a file system mounted on /log. The file /log/file.log would be totally invisible until /log is unmounted. (but I guess that doesn't mater any more now that your problem is fixed :)) [00:08] notlistening: */10 * * * command [00:09] exutux already tried that [00:09] Hi there, I've just updated a long running ubuntu 9.04 server to 10.10 to discover my ethernet has decided to kick the bucket.

[00:25] i didn't think so. mouse, was yours an upgrade or a fresh install [00:25] mouse: go into tty2 ctrl+alt+f2 and run this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo X -configure && sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf && /etc/init.d/gdm start [00:26] it creates a new xorg.conf if you need it [00:26] shadows090, Installing 10.04 was a clean install [00:26] mouse, strange, i don't have an xorg.conf [00:27] mouse: if is a clean install xorg.conf doesn't exist [00:27] Alright, I've been fighting with it for about an hour.

[01:16] StrangeCharm lenov do not go to any effort to make them supported under linux [01:17] notlistening: strange is cron service runs? [01:17] Polah, FF addon [01:17] Also, that was really cool just then. Chromium supposed to use less memory right? The Lenovo home page somehow made it eat up ~1.9GB and I just had to spent 5 minutes waiting to run ps -A on a tty to get it's pid to kill it. urlin2u: No, I don't. [01:17] notlistening: sudo service cron start [01:17] does anyone know if I can use Linux in the HP Omni200-5410 all in one computer ?? [01:17] ikonia, apart from - you know - ensuring that folks at red hat write drivers for them [01:17] Polah, betterprivacy removes the cookies you don't see cokies [01:17] I have no FF addons, actually, aside from java and flash plugins. [01:18] notlistening: are you sure that date.log file there isn't? [01:18] exutux start: Job is already running: cron [01:18] StrangeCharm: they don't do that, Lenovo have no relationship with Redhat, and Redhat isn't ubuntu [01:18] exutux I have to touch the file and change the path but it is there and being filled [01:18] Polah: alt+sysrq+F will run the OOM killer. That may not always kill what you expect though. [01:18] I have run the command external to cron and it is working [01:18] exutux: So, should I be doing 'xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 1' ? [01:18] bah bah bah. [01:18] same command is in cron [01:19] ikonia, they have some kind of business relationship, and the drivers make it back upsteam [01:19] I managed to kill a PCI slot on my motherboard... [01:19] exutus: where 12 is the id of the trackpad? [01:19] StrangeCharm: no, they don't [01:19] Polah, los cookies it removes. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/ [01:19] ikonia, to which? [01:19] StrangeCharm: both [01:19] Jordan_U: What's the criteria for what it kills?; the program using the most memory at the time it's run? [01:19] in any event, this is not the source of the problem [01:19] I want change the gnome default mount option , where is the configure file? [01:19] this is such a simple thing that is soo anoyingly broken :D [01:19] ikonia, ^ [01:19] urlin2u: I don't need an addon to remove cookies [01:19] thankfully I had a spare slot, so I could switch the soundcard over [01:20] StrangeCharm how do you know [01:20] anjay: GNOME doesn't handle drive mounting, although you probably want /etc/fstab [01:20] Polah, you might look into what lso cookies are. [01:20] ikonia, because a fresh install works [01:20] * Viking667 disconnects [01:20] StrangeCharm: then what action breaks it [01:21] Polah: http://linux-mm.org/OOM_Killer [01:21] ikonia, no idea. hence my question [01:21] StrangeCharm: ok - so it can be an unsupported hardware/driver issue then [01:21] ikonia, how do you figure? [01:21] w45p: maybe, I never used xinput [01:22] StrangeCharm: because a clean install doesn't fix it - as it breaks for no reason [01:22] StrangeCharm: you need to work through it methodically [01:22] ikonia, no, it doesn't break for no reason, i just don't know what the reason is [01:22] StrangeCharm: you can't say that, you'll need to work it through [01:23] StrangeCharm: it's most likley an supported bit of hardware with a specific kernel module, most likley video card, that's the most common cause, an update probably breaks it [01:23] StrangeCharm: however you'll need to work it through to find out what the trigger is [01:23] hi all! can someone tell me the proper way to apply a patch. I put the patch file in the same src folder as the original cpp; what do I do now? === cypha` is now known as cypha [01:23] ikonia, wouldn't something complain at me if i had unsupported hardware? [01:23] StrangeCharm: no [01:24] sum1nil: what are you trying to patch and why [01:24] ikonia, it would just silently break on a kernel update? [01:24] i am about to clone a hard drive dual-booting windows and ubuntu to an external hdd using either dd or clonezilla. the compressed image of the drive will be copied to the external hd. what filesystem should the external drive be formatted to? ext4, because i will be restoring probably with dd? [01:24] StrangeCharm: yes [01:24] lol complain about something unsupport that'll be the day [01:24] Jordan_U: Thanks. I'll be sure to keep that in mind if something decides to eat my computer again [01:24] ikonia, that sounds like a bug in the kernel o.0 ? [01:24] one moment please... [01:24] Polah: You're welcome. [01:24] StrangeCharm: why does it sound like a bug in your kernel ? [01:25] improveupon doesn't matter really === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [01:25] improveupon: If you copy the ENTIRE disk (MBR and partition table included) then what you're formatting the destination disk to won't matter. [01:25] just be careful using dd [01:25] ikonia, because a change to the kernel broke something. the video hardware didn't change [01:25] StrangeCharm: how do you know a change to the kernel breaks it ? you just said you had no idea [01:25] notlistening: try using path /bin/date >> [01:25] it is a game. Description at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=553706 - message 10 [01:25] Debian bug 553706 in glob2 "FTBFS with GCC 4.4: 'class GAGCore::StreamBackend' has no member named 'getc'" [Serious,Fixed] [01:26] what is ubottu? [01:26] ikonia, i was stipulating that the scenario you described sounded like a kernel bug [01:26] sum1nil, a bot [01:26] !ubottu | sum1nil [01:26] sum1nil: 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 [01:26] thank you [01:26] StrangeCharm no, it doesn't [01:26] Laali: nice nick [01:26] Hi [01:27] ikonia, but it has the feature that something works, the software changes, then it doesn't work. what definition of "bug" are you using? [01:27] exutux trying.... === maku` is now known as maku [01:27] StrangeCharm: you need to figure out what breaks it - if for example a propritary ATI driver is the issue, then it's not a kernel issue, if the kernel is incompatible with suspend, then it is, etc etc. [01:27] notlistening: which is the path log? [01:27] notlistening: paste me your cron etry please [01:28] StrangeCharm: you can't just say "it's a kernel bug" - you need to work it through and work out what the issue is [01:28] * * * * * /bin/date >> /$USER/date.log [01:28] exutus: Thanks, I'll keep trying, at least now I know I was typing in the wrong terminal. But I got to run now, thanks a lot! [01:28] StrangeCharm: 1: "Software Changes" != kernel changes 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc [01:29] is there anyway to reinstall or reconfigure ubuntu .. (without using cd/usb or floppy) -->> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a would help? [01:29] notlistening: ok but in the user crontab or in a root crontab? [01:29] root [01:29] ikonia, i'm not. i'm saying that if a kernel update were to be the factor that caused breaking, that would be a kernel bug [01:29] StrangeCharm: no - it would not [01:29] NewNattyUser: What are you actually trying to fix? [01:29] StrangeCharm: it depends the reason for the failure [01:29] notlistening: try putting that command line in a script with a single word name and run the script with cron [01:29] ikonia, under what definition of bug? [01:29] StrangeCharm: a kernel update breaking something does not mean a kernel bug [01:30] ok th0r [01:30] StrangeCharm: I'm not defining bug for you - if you can't understand this, then just wait for someone to fix it [01:30] notlistening: /root/date.log [01:30] Jordan_U: i'm newuser again... but now from the pc with the usb wireless card.... [01:30] ? [01:30] Jordan_U: i don0t have cd room neather floppy and this pc doesnt support boot from usb... [01:31] NewNattyUser: I doubt that any kind of reconfiguring, or even re-installing, will get your hardware working. [01:31] doh [01:31] Jordan_U: damn :/ [01:31] <^-Lord-^> I think Id love this OS if I could figure it out [01:31] notlistening: /$USER/ is wrong on root crontab [01:31] <^-Lord-^> LOL [01:31] now looks like this * * * * * /$USER/date.sh [01:31] ikonia, see, now i'm confused about the semantics here. i'm not saying that a kernel update did break this, but it if it did, it'd be a bug, not a feature. that would be an undesirable behavior [01:31] ^-Lord-^: Not having a good experience? [01:32] notlistening: wrong again [01:32] StrangeCharm: no it would not [01:32] notlistening: /root/datelog [01:32] notlistening: /root/date.log [01:32] <^-Lord-^> it's not that... it's only the second time I've been in it... installed on a USB key last night [01:32] ikonia, several authors define "bug" as "Something which just dont seem 'right' to the user/customer" . Take from that what you will [01:32] I'm trying to get my joystick (Logitech Wingman Force Feedback) to work with Google Earth's Flight Simulator. Has anyone managed to get that working yet? [01:32] StrangeCharm: if a kernel updated causes an incompatiability, it does not mean it's a kernel bug, it could be "other" thing that's incompatible with the kernel [01:32] just done the changes [01:32] Jordan_U: is there anyway for install ubuntu booting from network ? [01:32] StrangeCharm: the issue could be the other software vendors to fix with the current kernel [01:32] even though echo $USER gives me root [01:33] Or maybe how to test if my joystick is working for java applications? [01:33] <^-Lord-^> how does one open a command prompt on this? [01:33] StrangeCharm: An example (that I've actually seen) after installing a new kernel the computer would completely fail to boot. The reason was that the new kernel contained firmware for a device not previously supported. This machine didn't have a powerfull enough power supply and the extra initialized piece of hardware put it over the edge. Is that a kernel bug? [01:33] ^-Lord-^: ctrl+alt+T [01:33] Jordan_U, compelling example [01:33] <^-Lord-^> awesome thanks [01:33] notlistening: yeah but is wrong in crontab [01:34] ^-Lord-^: Would you like a very nice PDF to help you learn the command line? [01:34] <^-Lord-^> oh heck yes [01:34] StrangeCharm: if ati don't keep their drivers up to date with the kernel abi, and a kernel update breaks them, that's not a kernel bug, that's an issue with the 3rd party ati modules [01:34] <^-Lord-^> I used to know some commands from some years ago... but haven't used them [01:34] okay exutux [01:34] <^-Lord-^> am amazed at the boot speed of this OS [01:34] ikonia, i'm not sure what an abi is, but i was convinced by Jordan_U's example [01:34] ^-Lord-^: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php Then click on "Download it here". [01:35] ikonia: actually, unstable abis _are_ kernel issues [01:35] StrangeCharm: it's just an example to highlight how a kernel update can break things, but it not be a kernel bug [01:35] polifasio: I didn't say unstable [01:35] now its working i think every minute let wait and see [01:35] ikonia: if an abi changes from version to version, it is unstable [01:36] ikonia, i lacked the expertise to understand your example, but i remain convinced of your position by Jordan_U's [01:36] notlistening: yes * * * * * <---each minute [01:36] StrangeCharm: as long as you get the point, it's fine. it won't help if you log a bug against the wrong info [01:36] yes i wanted to make sure that worked then modify from there [01:37] trying every other minute now [01:37] ikonia, now i am back to my original position of trying to work out what's broken so that it can be fixed =[ [01:37] */2 [01:37] StrangeCharm: just work it through methodically as I suggested [01:37] notlistening: you want test it for all 60 minutes? :D [01:37] ikonia, i'm not sure of a process for that. it's not exactly trivial for me to roll back kernel updates one at a time...? [01:37] if it was not 2:37am i might consider it [01:38] hello, I have a question [01:38] StrangeCharm: clean install, use it for $X period of time to prove it works. Then update kernel to the current supported ubuntu one, use for same $X period of time [01:38] do you know if I can use Ubuntu (or some kind of Linux) for the all in one HP Omni200-5410 computer ?? I wanted to buy it. I'm browsing the "Linux Hardware Compatibility" web page, but that model is not in the list. [01:38] StrangeCharm: then update the software packages outstanding, one or few at a time, to narrow it down, each time leaving $X period for stablility verfication [01:38] ikonia, sadface [01:39] StrangeCharm: I'll put money on ati/nvidia 3rd party modules, it's always them [01:39] ikonia, i'm pretty sure i have integrated intel graphics [01:39] StrangeCharm: all the more reason to work it through then [01:40] StrangeCharm: bcm (broadcom) network cards can also cause pain with it [01:40] also intel [01:40] StrangeCharm: then you'll have to work it through, I just gave you the common causes [01:40] ikonia, all the worse for me to have an uncommon one!

[02:49] goer surprised it boots ;) [02:49] pasjr: are you sure libflashplayer.so is in /usr/lib? [02:49] notlistening, maybe time for a new joystick? How does one know that is good with Linux? [02:50] notlistening: Thnx! [02:50] goer it is beyoung me to tell you what to remove and keep but you need to remove some of the old stuff in there [02:50] I hate to throw this one out. It is a good machine with Windows Xp [02:50] Yes : ls -la /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:50] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 2011-08-26 20:43 /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:51] KM0201 rather you than me :D [02:51] notlistening: Before or After reinstall? [02:51] pasjr: ok.. maybe i'm missing something, but thats a different path than what you pasted a minute ago. [02:51] notlistening: your username is almost prophetic.. :) [02:51] goer ideally if you do a reinstall copy all the files you want to keep the format home before you install again [02:52] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:52] lol KM0201 [02:52] pasjr: just a minute ago, you should me /usr/lib/firefox-addons.. something like that [02:52] notlistening: NOT SUER WHAT U MEAN.. [02:52] make up your mind what path it is. [02:52] oops [02:52] notlistening: Not sure what u mean [02:53] Ok now I am getting lost [02:53] goer okay you have you system running right but it is quite unstable? [02:53] pasjr: tell me the exact path, where libflashplayer.so currently is [02:53] hi, how can i set my virtual disk address on vbox has a path.. on a computer on the lan (i asked this quest. before but i didnt understand it well) === Monotoko is now known as Monotoko|AFK [02:53] yes, very slow [02:54] and no sound in preferences [02:54] dreamy are you running the virtualbox gui? [02:54] notlistening, maybe time to restore this machine back to XP and get everything working again [02:54] I am lost I cant find it now [02:54] goer are you considering reinstalling? [02:54] nothings1ecial, yes , gui on ubuntu 10.10 .. [02:54] I just did and thats why I hv the probs [02:54] Bookman... nooo :D [02:55] nothings1ecial, i got a 2 pc lan [02:55] find / -name libflashplayer.so [02:55] /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libflashplayer.so [02:55] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:55] /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:55] Bookman you can install XP in virtualbox not the ubuntu version i hasten to add and get usb support in windows runing under ubuntu [02:55] pasjr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:55] nitlbut I may hv 2 do it again and insert My Files subsequently [02:55] nothings1ecial, so the idea was to have virtual os on 1 pc , and the HD on the other [02:55] * KM0201 sighs [02:55] notlistening, I only have the original 'backup cds' [02:55] Is there a specific channel for the server ieteration of ubuntu, or shall I ask my question here? [02:55] Hi all [02:55] anyone at here ? [02:56] pasjr: when you get back here, let me know [02:56] find / -name libflashplayer.so [02:56] /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libflashplayer.so [02:56] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:56] /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:56] Superdave321: #ubuntu-server [02:56] pasjr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:56] tssgm: Nah, nobody here at all :( [02:56] goer that is what i would recommend [02:56] aeon-ltd: Thanks much! [02:56] Superdave321, #ubuntu-server [02:56] dreamy_ can you run virtualbox then? [02:56] Ok, thnx NL :) [02:56] brb [02:57] .. [02:57] notlistening, hey, win some, lose some [02:57] i never realized installigh flash could be this much of an adventure [02:57] Hi guys. I've got a broken package manager on my hands. It looks live I've packages in limbo - neither installed or uninstalled [02:57] nothings1ecial, well .. yes, my V. os runs ok.. its just that id like to use the other pc on the lan [02:57] try us Superdave321 [02:57] bobdobbs, any errors you can pastebin? [02:58] km dont you just need to.install the flash package? [02:58] notlistening: also, how to easily setup my projector to operate at same time as my monitor? Any tuts around? [02:58] urlin2u: pasting as we speak... [02:58] http://www.pastie.org/2436898 [02:58] The advice I get on the forums is to use a command like 'apt-get install -f" [02:58] okay dreamy explain you whole senario of what you want please i am a little confused [02:59] what is it w/ people running root prompts [02:59] ? [02:59] However, when I do that, I get an output that is still very similair [02:59] do they feel leet using them? [02:59] KM0201: well, I do it because I mess around with apache so much [02:59] I can't be bothered using sudo all the time. [02:59] lol [02:59] In fact, in my case, sudo seems quiet pointless [02:59] bobdobbs: use 'su' then [03:00] well, thats how I get to my root prompt. [03:00] Is there another way? [03:00] bobdobbs: what case is that? [03:00] nothings1ecial, the situation is that.. id like that Vbox whould create avirtual machine that could create a hard disk on the 2nd pc on the lan [03:00] so.. [03:00] bobdobbs: you mean supported ways?.. yes, sudo -i [03:00] notlistening, ok, thanks for your help here! Greatly appreciated...time to go back to original software [03:00] ! [03:00] jrib: configuring apache, iptables and other stuff all the time [03:00] nothings1ecial, so 1 pc whould be proccessing and the other whould be doing the hard disk reading [03:00] sudo is just another roadblock [03:01] lol [03:01] interesting perspective I guess [03:01] dreamy_ the use of that is becasue of storage space? or what is the thinking behind it [03:01] bobdobbs: what ubuntu version is this? [03:01] 10.04 [03:02] Bookman i am sure you could get it to work, depends how many grey hairs you want in the process though [03:02] nothings1ecial, it whould be good, it whoudnt be wasting the hard disk on the 1st pc [03:02] bobdobbs: do you have any insights as to why this is happening? [03:02] it whould be fun [03:02] jrib: none at all. I'm completely stumped [03:02] notlistening, no grey...original CD's [03:02] lol dreamy_ I like fun [03:03] nothings1ecial, like for example i can browse trought my network and open a movie on the 2nd pc .. it uses the lan [03:03] jrib: I thought I might have messed up my sources.conf perhaps... but as far as I can tell, it's clean. [03:03] bobdobbs: pastebin the .postinst file for the relevant packages please (you can find them in /var/lib/dpkg/info/) [03:03] dreamy_ this gets quite indepth [03:03] jrib: there are three files, it might be easier to focus on one. [03:04] bobdobbs: what 3? [03:04] samba, mercurial and foomatic-filters [03:04] bobdobbs: you can ignore samba [03:04] I'd rather not [03:04] That's the most important one for me [03:04] notlistening, evening folks [03:04] dreamy_ I have send you a private message [03:05] Cheers Bookman [03:05] bobdobbs: samba is fine. Please pastebin the .postinst files for the other two packages [03:05] k [03:06] KM0201, did you get the flash fixed? [03:06] notlistening: he disappeared. [03:06] said he'd brb, that was about 10min ago [03:06] lol [03:07] must have been the root access he had :D [03:07] nothings1ecial: actualy, it woudln't surprise me.. but.. "what do i know.."..lol [03:07] I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint [03:08] jrib: http://www.pastie.org/2436923 [03:08] Nisstyre: what viewpoint? [03:08] so I'm having some trouble installing 10.04 32-bit. the system starts booting to the CD, the ubuntu screen comes up and the dots blink across the screen, the disc accesses furiously, and then...it locks, and won't respond to anything I do on the keyboard [03:08] jrib: and: http://www.pastie.org/2436931 [03:08] is there any way I can see what it's doing when the lock occurs? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:09] MrWilly hold old is the CD driver? and where did you burn the disk? [03:09] mrwilly cd must be damaged or defective [03:09] bobdobbs: add "set -x" near the top of the scripts (but below the first line) and run your apt-get again [03:09] *drive not driver [03:10] jrib: ok [03:10] In the place of 'set -e'? Or beneath it? [03:10] bobdobbs: beneath it is fine [03:10] notlistening, the drive's...not exceptionally old. I know I've installed ubuntu with it before, although it was jaunty, if memory serves. it's probably around 5 years old [03:10] MrWilly can you boot USB? [03:10] cool [03:10] notlistening, the motherboard lacks that ability [03:11] MrWilly, how much ram? [03:11] notlistening, it could very well be the disc. I don't believe I've ever actually installed ubuntu with that disc [03:11] MrWilly they always do :D [03:11] urlin2u, 2GB [03:11] cool [03:11] in fact [03:11] you got a spare pc to try the CD? [03:11] MrWilly, you know the graphic card? [03:11] I can't even remember where I got that disc, come to think of it [03:11] urlin2u, Geforce 7600 GS, 512MB [03:12] notlistening, no, unfortunately, I haven't. I think I'll have to find a blank CD somewhere. I know I'm out of them at the moment [03:12] How patient have you been with it MrWilly? [03:12] notlistening, not patient enough. perhaps two minutes? [03:12] after the lock, that is [03:12] screw it I will just do two fresh reinstalls on both my computers if still no flash then goodbye Ubuntu [03:12] after the lock is there no CD activity? [03:12] notlistening, correct [03:13] jrib: ok, I ran 'apt-get update' twice, and then 'apt-get upgrade'. This is my result: [03:13] MrWilly, try tapping any key at powering on to get the try ubuntu....memory test, hot f6 click nomodeset, boot in [03:13] your right its never ever going to boot [03:13] http://www.pastie.org/2436951 [03:13] hit* [03:13] bobdobbs: did you add "set -x" to both scripts? [03:13] ah no activity MrWilly . [03:13] urlin2u, to my recollection, those options occur AFTER the point at which it locks [03:14] lol, thing is, i couldn've fixed his stupid flash problem, if he'd just listen [03:14] jrib: no both. Just the foomatic script [03:14] he had libflashplayer.so in the wrong directory [03:14] jrib: I'll do the other one now [03:14] bobdobbs: add to both please, it seems you added it only to the mercurial script [03:14] oh well... :) [03:14] so I'll try a new disc. I also have to replace my dead CMOS battery, so I'm going out anyways [03:14] may as well pick up some blanks [03:15] thanks, everyone [03:15] jrib: sorry. You are right. I only added it to the mercurial script [03:15] MrWilly, there are two gui's for trying or installing one very earlier, and one later. [03:15] Good luck MrWilly [03:15] this is what I get for cobbling together machines out of spare parts :D [03:16] at least I know the memory, board, and hard drive are good [03:16] MrWilly, early one needs a key prompt [03:16] urlin2u, oh. good to know. just punch keys? [03:16] sympathy for you MrWilly [03:16] how do i know if my partitions are ntfs or not? [03:16] DonaldKeyz: sudo fdisk -l [03:16] MrWilly, has been esc lucid was shift, I think any now. [03:16] lucid was shift? this is lucid we're talking about [03:17] DonaldKeyz are they mounted? [03:17] yes [03:17] Damn it....I'm even denied my great original games......My CD drive no longer works [03:17] lucid esc I think mrw [03:17] Hi, I am unable to use bcm4313 on katya, i tried STA driver also but no success, now i downloaded driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php , but i do not know how to install this driver, Any help please. [03:17] urlin2u, thanks [03:17] lucid esc I think MrWilly [03:17] cool MrWilly [03:18] thanks all [03:18] fstab -l DonaldKeyz [03:18] stupid mount -l [03:18] Sorry DonadKeyz [03:19] jrib: ok ... here is the output of 'apt-get upgrade' [03:19] http://www.pastie.org/2436967 [03:19] does anyone know how to get conky to display your username instead of nodename? [03:19] nothings1ecial: mount -l doesn't really show the filesystem on the partition... [03:20] bobdobbs: « apt-cache policy ucf foomatic-filters mercurial; which ucf; » in pastebin please [03:20] k [03:21] anyone with working experience using a LiveUSB persistently? [03:21] woops notlistening sorry, that last comment was for you.. :) [03:21] okay KM0201 I just assumed if they were mounted that it would have detected what it is using [03:21] http://www.pastie.org/ [03:21] KM0201, everyone is doing it don't worry [03:21] interesting [03:21] notlistening: you'd think.. but.. for some reason mount doesn't show filesystem, just where it's mounted, and permissions on it... [03:22] notlistening: lol, time for a name change [03:22] Well I give up! [03:22] Is that telling me that mercurial and foomatic-filters are already installed? [03:22] /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,discard,commit=0) [03:22] Well mount mount -l tells me i am ext4 [03:23] ntlibut it doesn't say anything about NTFS partitions (just checked0 [03:23] grrr.. notlistening see above [03:24] lol keeps you on your toes KM0201 [03:24] lol [03:24] fair enough KM0201 [03:24] bobdobbs: note your pastebin link was just to pastie.org, not a specific paste [03:24] :P I don't have any NTFS paritions [03:24] where would i look to see what errors are occuring when i fail to login? [03:25] GUI login SubCool? [03:25] jrib: whoops. sorry. [03:25] http://www.pastie.org/2436980 [03:26] SubCool, the casper-rw=persistent can get full, could that be it? [03:26] notlistening, yes [03:26] bobdobbs: run your apt-get again but prefix the command with "DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer " [03:26] ok [03:26] urlin2u, it was at first, but i cleared it- so i thought??? [03:26] urlin2u, could u help me clarify? [03:26] SubCool, how did you clear it? [03:26] can ubuntu tell me how much RAM i currently have? [03:26] deleted a huge file in my downloads section [03:26] urlin2u, [03:27] jrib: wow. lots more output [03:27] SubCool, that wont do it, basically it is clearable, not sure how. [03:27] Sonja run top in a terminal [03:27] urlin2u, i've been asking in Kubuntu, but i haent figured it out yet. [03:27] Sonja that is how much RAM your system can access not always how much you have [03:28] notlistening: thanks [03:28] jrib: http://www.pastie.org/2437004 [03:28] urlin2u, according to df -h, the "partitions" arent full [03:28] see the bit under mem [03:29] Mem: 8002304k total = 8GB [03:29] bobdobbs: "debconf (developer): --> 10 failed to open /var/lib/dpkg/info/ucf.templates: No such file or directory" I guess we need to figure out why that is [03:29] how can i make bind9 start on boot? [03:29] hm [03:29] I'll see if it exists... [03:30] jrib: seems like it doesn't exist [03:31] ɷ [03:31] bobdobbs: and you have not touched any files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ other than the .postinst we edited earlier? [03:31] * Lone_Wolf sais hello to everybody [03:31] SubCool, not sure in all, except that the casper-rw gets loaded and is really hard to clean, have you looked in the trash? [03:32] Ramseize you still need an answer? [03:32] not as far as I know. Certainly not recently [03:32] notlistening: yes please [03:32] I might have borked it a while ago, and not noticed [03:32] did you install it from apt? [03:32] bobdobbs: borked it how? [03:32] notlistening: no its pre installed in my vps [03:32] But then again, I've been having the errors from apt at for at least a few weeks [03:33] urlin2u, ya, i have cleared the trash too- but i just found a issue with what u were talkinga bout, im looking to see how to clean it now.. [03:33] jrib: I wish I knew [03:33] notlistening: i have bout a new vps and configured bind, but i want bind to start at boot [03:33] bobdobbs: was the system uncleanly shutdown (maybe power loss?) around that time? [03:33] is there a bind9 script in /etc/init.d/ directory [03:33] yes [03:34] notlistening: yes, there is [03:34] what ubuntu you running? [03:34] hi folks, I'm a bit lost here, so I do not to want to steal your time, I'm trying setting up a site, based on XTML and CSS ... but That thing expects from me some php-basic knowledge, where can I get that and with whom discuss it ? [03:34] notlistening: im running ubuntu 10.04 [03:34] jrib: In the three months that I've had this system, I have had a couple of dirty shutdowns from power losses, yes. [03:34] are ther any simplified php-kis to install ? [03:34] kits ? [03:34] hi im using natty and i was just wondering, are any ports blocked by default? i cant ssh or irc out (irssi) and i can do both just fine from my windows boot [03:35] bobdobbs: did fsck run afterwards? [03:35] jrib: I had a loose cable from my ups [03:35] also, hi jrib :) [03:35] jrib: I don't recall [03:35] hey lastn0de :D [03:35] SubCool, not sure ethier that if you clean it your updates will disapper, you can remove it and make a new one I believe, and you can have a partition that is the casper rather then a file [03:35] bobdobbs: you should do that. In any case, reinstalling the ucf package should recreate the file [03:35] Ramseize try running update-rc.d with no options [03:35] jrib: actually, I don't recall actually noticing a fsck at startup since I've installed the system [03:35] jrib: ok [03:36] notlistening: ok, ill try it now [03:36] Should I start with reinstallling ucf? [03:36] I am trying to install an iso to my sd card but it does not seem to work like it has with other iso's what could be wrong [03:36] bobdobbs: sure [03:36] urlin2u, still searching. This is stupid.. [03:36] jrib: gonna sound like more of a noob now... How do you recommend I reinstall ucf? [03:36] bobdobbs: apt-get install --reinstall PACKAGE [03:36] jrib: will I have to do it manually? [03:37] cool. I've never seen that option before. [03:37] I'll give it a go. thanks. [03:37] SubCool, cleaning it is not a normal thing, so not much info. [03:37] bobdobbs: check that the ucf.templates file is created afterwards [03:37] ok [03:37] a lot of people run into the issue- i dont see why not. Im seeing a lot of reference to doing a full install to a flash drive, that i didnt hear about either. [03:38] notlistening: thats all im seeing [03:38] i dont think that is my issues, because appearently apt-get clean should fix it enough. I think my login is screwed up.. [03:39] jrib: you certainly know the package managment system very well [03:39] jrib: Hey! I just did 'apt-get upgrade', and it returned with no errors! [03:39] :) [03:40] bobdobbs: ok, you should run that fsck though [03:40] ok [03:40] I'll do that tonight. [03:41] ok, tanks for your time, folks, sorry it did'nt work out ... maybe someone can direct me to a site or alnother chatroom wher I can be helped ? [03:41] What program do I need to make a thumb drive be able to boot an iso? [03:41] jrib: Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. [03:41] Startup disc creator is not recognizing the iso [03:41] phrostbite, usbcreator or unetbootin [03:42] 11.04 - According to the laptop's manual, my wireless NIC (AR5B91) supports 802.11n in 5Ghz mode, but even if I explicitly set the correct regulatory domain with 'iw reg set' (after disabling wifi, or even unloading the modules first), I don't have 5Ghz support. [03:42] Lone_Wolf, thank you [03:42] no problem [03:42] hello all, how I run a install.sh file? [03:43] I've been searching for an hour now, but I can't find anything relating to my problem. There's no solution to get 5Ghz working that I can see. Do I have to compile the drivers from source or something? [03:44] Physically, this card is supposed to support 5Ghz, but the ath9k drivers don't seem to support it, even though they're supposed to. [03:44] SubCool, how big is the pendrive? [03:44] urlin2u, 8gb [03:44] Lone_wolf, certainly is an "ugly" Program but gets the job done :) [03:45] joses do chmod +x install.sh; ./install.sh [03:45] SubCool, do a full install, you can clean it like a normal install, and it will boot faster. [03:45] penos, I did..but says: An error occurred. The package management system cannot be identified. [03:45] urlin2u, idk how to do a full install. I have been getting the "LiveUSB is what u need" Bs.. [03:46] Who had installed a Canon Pixma MP250 driver in ubuntu 11.04? [03:46] urlin2u, i finally found 3 links that might help me with where i am. [03:47] SubCool, installs live you would to any hd you just have to use the something else option, at choice of where to install to point the grub bootloader at it and the partition to be installed in. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:47] notlistening: thank you very much... [03:47] like* SubCool [03:47] hi [03:50] urlin2u, this is getting worse every time i read something that "solves" it. [03:51] I am trying to connect Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 , having installed samba server in both computers , how to connect them using Cross over cable ? [03:51] They can't see each other in *Network* [03:52] urlin2u, ive come to the conclusion that the folder i have to clear out is the one i ahve been messing with, and that the folder still has room- SO... its the instlal not me :) [03:52] but iahve to redo it again. - Ugh! [03:52] have you set up the network cars on then gnaruag? [03:52] urlin2u, let me know when ur around, cause i have questions while making it.. [03:52] is there a guide for installing gnome 3? [03:52] *cards gnaruag [03:52] SubCool, yeah its the not knowing about this casper problem. [03:53] appearently its "easier" to start over- Ugh. Takes FOREVER!! [03:53] SubCool, I'm on pacific time alot. [03:53] its becuase he is a friendly ghost ;) [03:53] notlistening, I created new Wired Connection 1 which is in properties is *shared to other computers* [03:53] urlin2u, lol - there we go. With the proper teamwork. We can save 3 hours [03:54] gnaruag did you use static ip addresses? [03:54] SubCool, yeah a full install will run a long time, and works fine. [03:54] notlistening, No [03:54] urlin2u, startup disc creator corrcet [03:54] well as your using a direct cable you need static ip addresses [03:55] urlin2u, i was hoping to use this for 2-3 images, but i suppose not. :( [03:55] SubCool, for a full install you would boot a cd, or another thumb that has been loaded with that app. [03:55] oh- crap.. ugh... [03:55] so i cant just use startup thingy.. [03:55] SubCool, start disc creator does not make full installs [03:55] Hello ^^ [03:55] ok.. what does? [03:56] SubCool, a live cd, or another thumb loaded with that app, or any other like unetbootin, the thumb yo have now is for installs basically [03:57] notlistening, I am referring http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-assign-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-linux/ [03:57] urlin2u, well, im on box with 11.04 and i have unetbootin [03:57] SubCool, you have any other thumbs? [03:57] nope [03:57] picked this up specifically for this.. [03:57] gnaruag you get 10/10 for initiative [03:58] SubCool, burn a live cd iso to a cd then [03:58] dont have cd's either.. lol [03:58] can you get firefox 5 or 6 in lucid repos [03:58] What do you want to do SubCool? [03:58] notlistening, a full isnstall of Kubuntu to a USB [03:59] notlistening, thanks for that , what I noticed is that Sharing files using same Ubuntu versions using simple LAN wire is very easy . I made this cross-over cable , now I am crossing my fingers , thanks for the help :) [03:59] your welcome gnaruag [03:59] SubCool, you can also have two partitons on the thumb a 1 gig for the iso and the second a casper that can be biggerthen 4 gigs=using all the rest of that space left as well [03:59] or can i get natty backports for lucid 10.4.3 [04:00] urlin2u, well at this rate, im ok with it just working.. [04:01] SubCool, sure remove the casper and you will have it without persistence but as the original stste [04:01] state [04:01] i suppose googling, full install kubuntu? [04:01] bobdobbs: no problem [04:01] SubCool, did you install the 11.04 on the computer [04:02] urlin2u, ya- my mom kept killing XP. So i punished her... [04:02] now her comp is Kubuntu [04:03] can you boot the machine at all? [04:03] to a recovery console? [04:03] Ubuntu 11.04, 2.6.38-11-generic. With a Cisco WPM600N wireless card, I can not bring the interface up in either managed or monitor mode. I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy" [04:03] SubCool, the thumb install is no different, except you do a custom install, by at the gui where it asks where to install you choose something else, and point grub at the thumb and choose the pre-made ext4 on the thumb as the destination. [04:04] SubCool, easy as pie [04:04] urlin2u, ok.. i understand what your saying.. but- im not following.. [04:04] let me start unetboot [04:04] SubCool, why? [04:04] not sure where ur talkinga bout [04:05] SubCool, why unetbootin [04:05] because i have no clue what ur talking about [04:05] how do i install onto the usb? [04:05] create startup disk [04:05] notlistening, I created new connection using the tutorial , now can I ssh the machine using the static IP ? [04:05] notlistening, onto the USB? [04:05] SubCool, do you want another install like you have with a bigger casper, or a full install? [04:06] ping [04:06] notlistening, I created new connection using the tutorial , now can I ssh the machine using the static IP ? [04:06] gnaruag yes in theory [04:06] urlin2u, fullinstall [04:06] urlin2u, i suppose it will prevent further issues.. [04:07] SubCool, you need a separate thumb or a cd to do that [04:07] Ubuntu 11.04, 2.6.38-11-generic. With a Cisco WPM600N wireless card, I can not bring the interface up in either managed or monitor mode. I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy" [04:07] SubCool i might be coming in half way through here onto something i am not sure what you're trying to achieve [04:08] urlin2u, ok- well i dont have that at the moment.. I only have THIS computer that has 11.04. a Thumb Drive, and a POS laptop with no HD. [04:08] pinballwizard you checked dmesg? [04:08] urlin2u, so how about a working Thumbdrive..lol [04:08] with a larger casper [04:09] Any tool for increasing wubi's root.disk file ? working on 11.04 [04:09] SubCool, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/how-to-create-a-larger-casper-rw-loop-file/ [04:09] Ah so the thumb drive has died and you need to get it up and working while preserving the files right? [04:09] Vidalia, thats covered in the wubiguide [04:09] hi [04:09] !wubi | Vidalia here [04:09] Vidalia here: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

[04:10] hi [04:10] html, hello [04:10] SubCool, the first link is just making a bigger file this one is another partition which s the casper. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/ [04:10] what pacakge do i need to apt-get to install gnome3? [04:10] how are you? [04:10] urlin2u, thanks :) [04:11] pinballwizard looks like you need to get a firmware file for that chipset [04:11] bazhang, lvpm doesn't work. [04:11] lastnode, if you have 11.04, it's not available currently in apt-get. you will have to find a ppa with it available. [04:11] notlistening, thanks :) [04:11] urlin2u, thanks- brb.. br break [04:11] ok hylian [04:11] SubCool, no problem, I think you can just wipe the first casper build a bigger, one and be set. [04:11] how do i add more desktop? [04:11] notlistening: agreed. 'll hunt around [04:12] html, another desktop? [04:12] html, more desktop? [04:12] SubCool have you backed up the thumb drive before proceeding I guess the data is quite important? [04:12] notlistening, nope- trying to make a base ground. so nothing to lose so far [04:13] I'm doing a fresh install on my new thinkpad and it seems to be having trouble installing the video card drivers. [04:13] I have a Dell M1210 it has a Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01). I have static in the left headphone. [04:13] notlistening, if he has a iso of ubuntu, unetbootin is a great way to put a live cd os on it. [04:13] it seems to be a common problem, and I remember fixing this one before, but I can't remember how [04:15] It says Ubuntu ubiquity WARNING:root:modinfo for module NVIDIA_current failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module NVIDIA_ current [04:15] pingball wizard I just pm'd you [04:15] Right now the last thing that popped up was Ubuntu ubiquity [04:16] Anyone know what I should do? [04:17] hylian, urlin2u, yes [04:17] hylain, I am not sure of the problem but i think they cannot use the existing pendrive and just over write it but i might be wrong [04:17] html, what we mean is, we don't understand what your trying to accomplish [04:17] and i agree unet would be great if they just need to reinstall [04:17] html, what desktop? [04:18] nothings1ecial, what do you mean? /n?eed === luigi is now known as rmd_ [04:18] SJr, you could try this: wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh [04:18] SJr, in the terminal. [04:18] html I was not talking to you sorry === rmd_ is now known as luigi [04:19] notlistening, i mention unetbootin because it will only replace the linux live cd files, not format the partition, if that's what you want. [04:20] hylian, like virtual desktop on the bottom right on xubuntu 10.04.. [04:20] hylian, seems they are doing a fresh install anyways so they should go ahead and do that i think === ubuntu_ is now known as JoeR1 [04:21] html can you write the full question again? [04:21] last time I installed PAE it made things seem alot choppier [04:21] does anybody know why? [04:21] hylian: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=be59ad57296eb57c9706e7e53262b03d4a002ccc [04:21] html, maybe i am way off base then, but are you trying to set up virtual machines? Like VirtualBox? [04:22] hylian a few places online had suggested muting the microphone but that doesn't work, it also seems familiar, but I remember I had to do it somewhere weird, maybe the console [04:22] html is talking about switch desktops i think [04:22] *switching [04:22] or more specifically workspace switcher [04:23] SJr, ok, i think I have seen this before. you have 2 sound cards, and they are conflicting with one another. the first is named as the intel card, the second is just listed as usb. i had this happen with a client on a dell. he doesn't use hdmi sound so i went into his bios and turned off the intel sound card. i'll do some digging and see if i come up with anything else. [04:24] the other sound card is the webcam [04:24] both mics are off [04:24] I don't actually care about the webcam [04:24] SJr what issue are you having? [04:24] why should I say, if you are notlistening :) [04:24] SJr, ahh, so it is just confused about the usb device... i am going to do a little reading on this, brb. [04:25] there is static in the left headphone [04:25] notlistening, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675749/ [04:25] when ever anything is playing [04:25] here is someone else who has this problem :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828273 === Nisstyre is now known as luig1 [04:26] SJr can you paste aplay -l === luig1 is now known as nisstyre [04:26] and what ubuntu you using? with pulseaudio? [04:26] notlistening: http://pastebin.com/UbriQkGX [04:26] Kubuntu 11.04 [04:27] SJr, can you type this in terminal: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, and then give me the info with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [04:27] I've always had this problem [04:28] You want the file to be pasted? [04:28] <[THC]AcidRain> ok. im using ubuntu 11.04 it appears that all of my browser windows have frozen. anyone know how ot fix this? [04:28] there was no real output to that [04:28] hi [04:28] SJr, i have seen similar problems solved by switching from 6 channel to 2 channel, unfortunately you don't want to do that if you have dolby 6.1 set up, like in a movie or gameing arena... [04:28] <[THC]AcidRain> this error occured when i was checking the properties of the trash [04:29] lol I don't [04:29] I have my headphones plugged in and i can't hear anything [04:29] [THC]AcidRain, termial killall firefox-bin this will close them all [04:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/675754/ [04:30] How do I switch to two channel [04:30] you using ubuntu SJr? [04:30] Kubuntu [04:30] 11.04 [04:31] SJr, in the terminal you can do it by typing in alsa-mixer. i don't know if you need to be super user or not... sudo. [04:31] humm right let the kubuntu people step in [04:31] SJr, it's just alsamixer, my bad. [04:32] !#kubuntu [04:32] kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [04:32] <[THC]AcidRain> notlistening, no. i mean my actualy file browser windows [04:32] <[THC]AcidRain> firfox is fine [04:32] i thought so [04:32] okay what am I doing in here hylian, this looks familiar [04:33] SJr, to be honest, i'll have to google some images, my machine uses pulse audio... brb [04:34] gnaruag, i pm'd you === sdc is now known as sdc111 [04:34] hylian well what is the goal of this? [04:34] I can navigate the app [04:35] <[THC]AcidRain> anyone know how i can unfreeze my file browser windows? [04:35] oh sorry [THC]AcidRain then change firefox for nautilius [04:35] nautilus [04:35] better spelling [04:35] <[THC]AcidRain> oh cool. it worked [04:35] no worries [04:35] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04, i got flash installed but there is no sound [04:35] <[THC]AcidRain> i can even delete my trash now without it freezing. lol [04:36] trying to watch a video on youtube [04:36] how can i mount a floppy (msdos FS) using the mount command? what's the FS type to enter for '-t [FS]'? [04:36] anothony silly question but does other sound work [04:36] What is the command to restart X server? [04:36] SJr, the goal is to find the setting for how many channels it is currently piping to and set it to 2, if it isn't already. if it already, well... because there is a known bug where being on 6 channel sets the majority of the ports to incorrect parameters, i.e. the microphone data going out instead of in. [04:37] mukti it will log you out is that okay? [04:37] yes [04:37] sudo killall Xorg [04:38] notlistening: thats the only way to do it? There isn't a way to restart it? [04:38] well that will restart it as upstart restarts it for you when it crashes [04:38] you are simulating a crash [04:39] hmmmm [04:39] you want a nicer way? [04:39] kind of lol [04:39] the reason being? [04:39] If you give me a technical reason not to do it that way i am sure i can be inventive === neo is now known as Guest66682 [04:39] Isn't it bad to simulate a crash? [04:40] I guess I'll take this up further with the alsa people hylian [04:40] thanks [04:40] Isn't there a more "standard" way? [04:40] SJr, sorry i couldnt be more helpful. [04:40] similar to restarting things through /etc/init.d/PROGRAM restart [04:40] well not really a hard crash in termals of doing damage just like restarting a peice of software [04:40] as long as your not working on documents and stuff saving data to disk etc etc [04:42] sudo service gdm restart [04:42] I am not sure it that actually kills the xserver though [04:42] mukti, i think stopping and starting the gdm would do it. [04:42] But isn't gdm just a program that works with X? [04:43] hylian, do you see a reason no to kill Xorg? [04:43] Hello, I was wondering if anybody could help me out with an audio issue? [04:43] nothings1ecial, not really, that's how i would do it actually. [04:43] jogu we love audio problems try us [04:43] !ask [04:43] 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. :-) [04:44] I'm running 11.04, and I can't get my speakers to mute when I plug in headphones [04:44] notlistening, sorry man, didn't mean to step on your toes. i would kill x too. [04:44] <[THC]AcidRain> im wondering what tools do they have for ubuntu for cloning hard drives? and by clone, i mean to take EVERYTHING from one drive, and put it on another, just as if that drive was the one i copied [04:45] I was intrested from a learning point of view thats all === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [04:45] jogu: alsamixer , try to eperiment with levels [04:45] [THC] a very powerful and dangerous tool called dd [04:45] jogu, can you type this in terminal? wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh [04:46] jogu I think that it to automatically mute when he plugs is headphones in..? [04:46] *he wants it to automatically [04:46] could be [04:46] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7760fcb9ea5c8b10c20fdbe372dfd1c4e2cd36ec [04:46] is the result from the script [04:48] hylain can you got the working under linux? auto mute? [04:48] *get [04:48] <[THC]AcidRain> im looking at dd now [04:49] <[THC]AcidRain> notlistening, but what im wondering is. i actually want to use this program (dd) to copy a slot machine hard drive to another hard drive so i can have 2 slot machines. can i do that with this software? [04:49] notlistening, actually, that's an automatic thing. once again he has 2 sound cards, and they are conflitcting. dell's and hp's did this to save money, an intel chipset to do hdmi sound, and another sound card to do everything else. [04:49] [THC]AcidRain, I say be careful because it is the fastest way to erase a harddisk full of data if used incorrectly [04:49] <[THC]AcidRain> :| [04:49] [THC]AcidRain, is that legal? [04:49] <[THC]AcidRain> notlistening, its my slot machine :) [04:50] hylian, oh the joy of sound cards [04:50] jogu, you have 2 sound cards. they are fighting one another. the best solution is to go into your bios and turn off the intel sound card. this can be a little tricky, and requires a reboot. how familiar are you with your bios? [04:50] [THC]AcidRain, and its none of my business [04:51] I'm familiar with bios, however I was unaware that I had 2 sound cards... my PC is actually custom built and as far as I know there's only the MoBos onboard sound [04:51] [THC]AcidRain, yes in theory as long as the harddisk is readable as a hardware device by a linux machine you can copy it [04:51] However I will go look in the bios, brb [04:52] <[THC]AcidRain> notlistening, ooo i cant wait. i wonder what the permissions are on it :D [04:52] lol the beauty is [THC]AcidRain you don't have to worry [04:53] I am having problems boot from the usb flash drive. I use unetbootin and when I go to boot it just has a screen that says default I push enter and it just reloads the same screen [04:53] <[THC]AcidRain> notlistening, lol. very good point. i rly wont. didnt even think of it that way [04:53] this is like taking a copy of a key you just make an impression of it not caring about any of the details [04:54] phrostbite, you had it booting before? [04:54] No [04:55] I downloaded an iso and I am trying to put it on a flash drive so I can install it. [04:55] i have Ubuntu 10.04 installed, when i login i can hear the drumroll, but when trying to play media i can't hear anything [04:55] can i get some assitance as to what im doing wrong please [04:55] anthony, are they mp3's [04:55] open a terminal, type "sudo alsa-mixer" ... ensure the volumes are up [04:56] anthony, you may need to install the restricted extras if you have not [04:56] or that too [04:56] phrostbite, try another menu option, unetbootin sometimes causes errors from the kernel on default [04:56] what is restricted extras [04:56] hylian, like what? [04:56] hylian, I couldn't find any options in bios related to sound other than an Enable/Disable for "Azalius" iirc [04:57] anthony, it's a collection of codecs for playing "non free" audio and video files, like an mp3, for instance. [04:57] well i am trying to look at youtube [04:57] azalia* actually [04:57] i have flash, so the video is fine, i just can't hear anything [04:57] phrostbite, there are usually more than one option, and if this is an ubuntu cd, one of them should be try ubuntu or install ubuntu [04:57] No it's actually a windows xp iso [04:57] Is JAVA installed by default in 11.03 [04:57] *11.04 [04:58] phrostbite, how patient are you being before pressing anything? [04:58] There is not more than one option [04:58] have you just waiting for about 30 seconds from where the message appears on the screen? [04:58] mukti: No. [04:58] It goes blank then shows up on the screen with a menu and the only option to press is default and there is a countdown timer and if I let it count down it reloads the screen [04:58] theadmin: thanks [04:58] mukti: Enable the partner repo to install it, and run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" [04:59] jogu, hmm. well i could have read the data wrong, but you can see for yourself here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7760fcb9ea5c8b10c20fdbe372dfd1c4e2cd36ec. i think you might need to talk to the alsa people about this, and I would give them that link, at least we got you started. [04:59] hi all - currently running 11.10 with latest updates - if I logon with default 'Unity' after system starts up, I get n Unity sidebar or anything just the Evolution menus across the top [04:59] 'Unity 2D' works as expected [04:59] any tips? [04:59] [THC]AcidRain: What kind of slot machine is it? [05:00] hii [05:00] hylian, the "USB PnP Audio device" is actually a USB microphone [05:00] phrostbite, unetbootin is designed to run linux iso's only. it specifically looks for the files in a linux iso., [05:00] Smedles, you might try ubuntu+1 [05:00] as 11.10 is pre-release [05:00] my cdrom is not getting detected [05:00] hylian, Which application should I use for a non linux iso? [05:01] notlistening: thanks - took me a moment to work out that ubuntu+1 was a channel name but there now :) [05:01] jogu, hmm. i do know that there is a bug in the alsamixer, that will incorrectly set the data as outgoing for an incoming connection, i.e. your mic, and vice versa. the test to see if that bug is present is to switch from 6 channels to 2. [05:02] Also, i have a 8 gig machine [05:02] what should i do to allocate all of my memory [05:02] bazhang, that http://www.chromeextensions.org/music-videos-photos/video-downloader-videos-from-all-sites/ is not dowloading any video it just stays at one side thats it [05:02] not allocate, but utilize... [05:02] phrostbite, to be honest, i have never had to do this. i can take a crack at it, but I am not certain if it can be done. i can do some quick research for you... [05:02] Anyone care to help with a rtl8187 networkmanager connection problem [05:02] Smedles, those guys will point you in the right direction [05:02] hylian, how do I changed the number of channels? [05:02] rtl8187 connects to network in network manager unable to send ping [05:02] hylian, that would be awesome. I have been google searching for the last 45 minutes and my brain is going to explode. I have wine installed so maybe a windows application would work?

[05:06] sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" [05:07] I used the command [05:07] notlistening : how can I specify the device i should be pinging from, inside the terminal [05:07] nerxgas: dpkg --get-selections prints all packages loaded [05:07] theadmin: I used the command [05:07] phrostbite, otherwise here's my google: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=tshc&cp=17&gs_id=40&xhr=t&q=install+windows+from+usb&qe=aW5zdGFsbCB3aW5kb3dzIGY&qesig=tjuKk_aL4ddGDJ35B6nnSQ&pkc=AFgZ2tkos5UkLpBHgIPAYaFNpZ2b1w7Ctty1_WQVmBsGJ2zdqBl9e3i5H3wDIIL0slD-kWJT8kii36puyWkPhNUw9Y2eAgq9pw&pq=put+windows+on+a+flash+drive&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=install+windows+f&aq=0&aqi=g5&aql=f&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=b62454da27284b07& [05:07] biw=1280&bih=819 [05:07] hylian, I think I may have found something also with unetbootin-windows-248 [05:08] mukti: That's correct, but after adding any repository you should reload the package sources. In Ubuntu that's done with "sudo apt-get update" [05:08] what when you ping your own computer it should do it on the loopback interface that is always there [05:08] theadmin: sorry, I didn't see your response [05:08] phrostbite, awesome. so it is dooable from what i read, albeit a little tricky. but defenitely dooable. [05:08] theadmin: I'll do that [05:08] Yeah [05:09] theadmin: that worked thanks! [05:09] notlistening: i can ping localhost [05:09] 127.0.0.1 [05:09] how do i change the login screen [05:09] hylian, grr I think this is just the windows version of unetbootin that will make a linux boot :( [05:09] mukti: No problem [05:10] hylian, switched it to 8 still the same problem [05:10] Hello guys.. What's gdm? Is it just the Login Window Manager?? [05:10] does anyone know how to use ipv6 [05:10] rodhash: Yes [05:10] how can i install custom login screen themes [05:10] phrostbite, ahh. well there are native windows progs for this job. it looks like wintoflash is your best bet. [05:10] rodhash Gnome Desktop Manager I think [05:10] i'm using the education network on campus but i don't know how to log in to other websites [05:11] hylian, thank you so much for your help :) [05:11] except ipv6.google.com [05:11] theadmin: How do I change it? For instance, let's say I wanna install XDM, that's pretty much lightweith.. right? [05:11] jogu, sorry man, that is the extent of my alsa knowledge. i would try #alsa if i where you... i havent run into this problem for a while, my native hardware runs best on pulseaudio. [05:11] rodhash: I'd suggest lxdm, because xdm is almost unconfigurable and hardly ever does what you want it to [05:11] link307 do you get errors when you go to other sites? [05:11] rodhash: Anyway, sudo apt-get install your-favorite-display-manager [05:12] notlistening: just "server not found" [05:12] phrostbite, no prob bob. :) [05:12] hylian, thanks for your helpi'll try over at #alsa [05:12] are you supposed to be using IPv6? [05:12] notlistening: sometimes "connection timed out" [05:12] jogu, i hope you get the answers you need.. sorry i wasn't much help :( [05:13] link307 i think this is a router problem [05:13] somewhere somebody needs to be doing IPv4 to IPv6 Trnaslations [05:13] notlistening: i can only open the ipv6.google.com [05:13] notlistening: so what can i do [05:14] humm good question, i need to research this aswell [05:14] notlistening: and i can search something through ipv6.google.com [05:14] hii my cdrom is not working fine.. the output of "dmesg | grep ATAPI' =>" [ 1.486895] ata2.00: ATAPI: PLDS DVD+/-RW DS-8A5SH, XD12, max UDMA/100" === what is now known as Lex [05:14] the output of the commad lspci [05:15] anybody knows how to install custom login screen themes?? [05:15] pratham: Please see https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup === Lex is now known as Guest26100 [05:15] theadmin: Ok, thank you for the advice.. but let me ask you.. Do you know if it's more lightweitht than gdm? Or has better performance or memory usage? [05:15] link307, i have heard of firefox and chrome having this problem in ubuntu... but that was a while ago. [05:15] is it possible for network manager to run an internal pci (broadcomm) as well as an usb (rtl8187) at the same time without issue? [05:16] or should I kill process [05:16] rodhash: A lot more lightweight indeed, performs better too... And is desktop-independent so you can use it with Gnome, KDE, Xfce, e17, openbox, whatever else [05:16] hylian: yeah , i'm using firefox in ubuntu but i feel it's not this problem [05:16] I was wondering how i would run a java program from the desktop... [05:16] how to check if mycdrom is getting detected?? the output of command of lspci => http://pastie.org/2437333 [05:16] i downloaded a java program... and would like to be able to run it standalone [05:16] theadmin: Cool!! Really thanks!! Once installed, how do I change from gdm to lxdm? [05:17] rodhash: apt-get will ask you if you want to do so during installation [05:17] rather than having to create a html file with the code in it.. [05:17] link307, exactly what are you trying to connect too? just google? [05:17] theadmin: Oh ok, thanks.. [05:17] is there a stand alone program that i could download that would compile the java and would allow it to run as a stand alone app [05:18] hylian: yeah, i don't know any other ipv6 address [05:18] now how do i get the generic PAE, last time i installed it it made my scrolling of webpages choppy === Guest26100 is now known as saywhat [05:18] i have 8 gigs of ram [05:19] currently running 32 bit ubuntu [05:19] theadmin: Just for learning purpose.. what's the procedure for changing the login manager? let's say I have it already installed, but gdm still the default? [05:19] rodhash: sudo dpkg-reconfigure the-login-manager-you-want-to-use [05:19] que es esto? [05:19] or rather what program should i use to run java class files [05:19] link307, hmm. google has also had a lot of problems with ipv6, epecially with their e-mail servers... to be honest i don't know. [05:19] rodhash: usually you're getting debconf dialog while installing/removing dms [05:19] theadmin: hehe, thank you a lot! [05:20] how can I affect the contents of initrd file? [05:20] How to buy ubuntu? [05:20] Whabo: Sorry lolwut? Ubuntu is free [05:20] Que es este chat ,, de que se trata ,, alguien me puede responder? [05:20] hylian: e... well . actually i have nothing to do right now [05:20] Whabo: www.canonical.com [05:21] link307 do you have to use IPv6 [05:21] rodhash: No problem [05:21] hylian: but how can i connect this irc [05:21] Can anyone help me withe a networkmanager connection problem. I have a rtl8187 usb, I would like to use in place of my pci (which i'm connected to right now). I can put the rtl8187 in monitor mode etc, network manager recognizes the card let me connect however cannot ping out when using the usb card. [05:21] notlistening: yeah , because i have no money in my campus card [05:21] lol Students :D [05:22] link307, well if your up to it, this site is a great way to run tests for ipv6: http://test-ipv6.com/ [05:22] alguien habla espanol? [05:22] hylian: "Connecting..." [05:23] Hope, comprendes Portugues? [05:23] Nop... jefeson [05:23] qual su Pergunta hope? [05:23] hylian: nothing happened yet & i feel it will time out [05:24] link307, in a strange way that is good, if for some reason you where set up to only use ipv4 it would have quicle ended the test. [05:24] my mouse has randomly stopped working twice today. what could be going wrong?

[05:27] hi [05:27] link307 oh yeah silly me [05:27] Hey, I just updated my machine, and now its sitting at a command line [05:27] what I send you want an IPv6 to IPv4 proxy [05:27] mokti, lucky you [05:27] The last thing it did was "checking battery state" [05:28] notlistening: so ... [05:28] link307, sorry, i'm tired, and so i am having a hard time thinking straight... :) [05:28] how name of deb-package with system-settings in gnome? [05:28] hey guys. I have a question about Ubuntu [05:28] can you wget things from the web or not? [05:28] xosuitehearts, what is it [05:28] notlistening: nothing , still thx [05:28] It's not waiting at for input [05:28] sagaci - does ubuntu need a firewall? [05:29] xosuitehearts: It has one built-in [05:29] mokti: give it a chance 5 mim say if nothing reboot [05:29] threadmin - could you tell me how to activate it? [05:29] xosuitehearts: iptables. There is a graphical interface for it if you want, to get it install the "gufw" package [05:29] link307 this night be hard to do without getting an external connection [05:29] xosuitehearts: Also, my nick does not have a "r" in it. [05:29] !tab | xosuitehearts [05:29] xosuitehearts: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:29] theadmin, sorry about that [05:29] jamiewan: do you think this has to do with the updates? [05:30] can someone help me? [05:30] notlistening, what should i look for in the dmesg? [05:30] theadmin, is it called Firewall Config? [05:30] mokti: possibly, see if she reboots [05:30] link307, to be frank, google may not be the best choice to test your ipv6 connection on... i'll explain why in private chat [05:31] when playing a video via the web browser, and i click full screen, how do i get it to stay open while i move around on other monitor [05:31] mokti: could be anything really at this stage [05:31] Can anyone help me withe a networkmanager connection problem. I have a rtl8187 usb, I would like to use in place of my pci (which i'm connected to right now). I can put the rtl8187 in monitor mode etc, network manager recognizes the card let me connect however cannot ping out when using the usb card. [05:31] for example if i fullscreen the video, and click anywhere on the other monitor, it automatically resizes the video back down to in the browser [05:31] xosuitehearts: I'm not sure, I never really bothered to configure any firewalls on Linux. Safe enough without. [05:32] theadmin, what about anti-virus? [05:32] hylian: are you there? [05:32] Mankool, yes i am. [05:32] when's ubuntu 11.10 coming out i had an alpha edition installed but the update manager crashed it at the login so i switched distro's temporarily until i get a working copy of 11.10 i was starting to like it had the gnome3 with the kernel 3.0.0.8 [05:32] hylian: do you remember my great journey i was on? [05:33] Link307 [05:33] try this in your proxy settings proxy.ipv6.iitk.ac.i [05:33] notlistening, i have no idea what a ring buffer is :(. i tried grepping 'touchpad' and some other variants but got nothing :( [05:33] own: October [05:33] ahh Touchpad [05:33] oem: October [05:34] Link307 there should have been a n on the end [05:34] k thx mokti [05:34] Mankool, vaguely, i just came back from a 3 day road trip... [05:34] notlistening, ok, i found it, now hwo do i interpret what's there? [05:34] hylian: ah, well anyway, i made miracles... 2 gpus (1 ati 1 nvidia)... and now have 4 mons running, 2 on each [05:35] but i'm getting greedy, and now i wanted to try to get unity running on at least some if not all of the mons... but i think its going to drive me insane so maybe i shouldn't try [05:35] Mankool, now i remember, wow. that is dang near impossible on ubuntu, did you figure it out yourself, or did you get some irc or bard help? [05:35] you should post in onto pastebin and then give us the link [05:35] can someone help me? [05:35] if i'm using a pci net work card and a usb do i have to blacklist the pci to get my usb to work properly [05:36] hylian: just put in some long hours reading stuff on the web and basically endless trial and error [05:36] usb works properly with wingows [05:36] windows [05:36] and i know the chipset is supported [05:36] zemik: question would help [05:36] Mankool, it's a pain, but when you succeed it feels amazing... [05:36] notlistening, lol. how do i copy from the terminal? :| [05:36] zemik: maybe [05:36] I write above [05:36] how name of deb-package with system-settings in gnome? [05:37] hylian: very true, it felt so good... and now I want more... always wanting more.. i don't think i should even try for unity... i can't even find remote websites of multiple gpus and attempting unity with success [05:37] I'm not sure what you mean [05:37] if your mouse it working click and drap to highlight and right click & copy [05:37] has anyone here got multiple gpus in their box and running unity? or anyone heard of anyone doing it? [05:38] jamiewan: i restarted my machine and it sitting at the screen again [05:38] mokti, you have programm - System Settings, how it deb-package what contain it? [05:38] notlistening, what about if mouse is not working? :| [05:38] *mouse is working drag bloody typos [05:38] Mankool, i am with you on the unity thing, i am a xubuntu'er currently myself. [05:39] if i upgrade to natty narwhal will it recognize my extra ram? [05:39] then you run this dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt [05:39] ok [05:39] anthony, how much ram do you have/ [05:39] how to reduce bloat in initrd file? [05:39] 8gigs [05:39] then you open the file in your favourite text editor ctrl+a then ctrl+c [05:39] mokti: hmm, did you upgrade or fresh install [05:39] hylian: yeah, and i don't even have a reason for wanting it, i don't even necessarily think it looks the coolest... i'm my own worst enemy, its like some crazy challenge that for some reason i wanted to do.. but its so not worth the time i'm thinking, i should just be happy with my current setup that i've dubbed 'quadmon' [05:40] hylian 8 gigs of ram [05:40] isn't there a function that acts as the 'clipboard input stream' ? [05:40] that'd be awesome :) [05:40] you need 64 bit anthony [05:40] i tried to install 64 bit, but i guess i had a bad cd [05:40] ie, clipboard << function() :D [05:40] bfig, if you find it tell me please [05:40] notlistening you think so? [05:41] notlistening I had 64 bit windows 7 before i made the full transistion [05:41] Mankool: how many gpus 2? [05:41] jamiewan: yes 2 gpus [05:41] anthony, if you have more than 3 gigabytes of ram, upgrading won't help. what you need is to install the 64 bit version of ubuntu to get it to recognize your extra ram. as a side note, i want to point out that some bios's have a bug that also effects how much ram is seen., [05:41] jamiewan: I did a fresh install [05:41] 32bit can only address 4 gb of memory max (some one will correct me on that) [05:41] hylian, even in 64 bit? [05:41] notlistening: 3.2 [05:41] jamiewan: then I installed updates in the update manager, and installed java [05:42] jamiewan: you've heard of multi-gpu unity success? [05:42] nothings1ecial, you're right its 4gb [05:42] got an error message from ubuntu update manager... [05:42] notlistening: But there are PAE-enabled kernels which allow to use more RAM in 32-bit systems [05:42] Mankool: not really i run 2 from my machine, only one gpu tho [05:42] hylian if i make a 64 bootable ... will it work from USB, or is it buggy? [05:42] theadmin I know it :D [05:42] *knew === mokti_ is now known as mokti [05:42] jamiewan: k, also, to throw a nuclear bomb in the mix.... 1 gpu is ati, and 1 is nvidia [05:42] can someone help? [05:42] Mankool: it would be do-able tho i'll bet [05:43] anthony, if it is a bios bug yes. in most cases though, you can get a newer version of your bios software and flash you bios, removing the bug. it's a bit technical so make sure you know what you are doign before you attempt it. [05:43] thanks theadmin nice to know [05:43] Can anyone help me withe a networkmanager connection problem. I have a rtl8187 usb, I would like to use in place of my pci (which i'm connected to right now). I can put the rtl8187 in monitor mode etc, network manager recognizes the card let me connect however cannot ping out when using the usb card. [05:43] new1, maybe [05:43] hey, i'm playing around with 11.10 daily (from yestoday) in virtualbox, but i can only run unity2d by default.. And the "new drivers" GFX does not appear.. how can i install it though terminal? Its an nvidia geforce GTS250M (1GB) card.. ? :) [05:43] notlistening: No problem [05:43] jamiewan: the last thing that happened was "* Checking battery state... [ OK ]" [05:43] anthony it works pretty well. i have one on my 16 gig usb drive. [05:43] vooze: It's Virtualbox [05:43] mokti: how long now then [05:43] vooze: Virtualbox doesn't use Nvidia, it uses "vboxvideo" [05:43] vooze: Install the guest additions and you'll be good to go [05:44] jamiewan: its been at least 10 minutes since I restarted it (I think) [05:44] theadmin: install guest additions (in my own box) or in virtualbox? [05:44] mokti: can u bott to live cd? [05:44] boot [05:44] jamiewan: yeah, might be doable, but it'd take some thought into what route i wanna go to get it done, and i don't currently have a usecase besides 'maybe it would look cool'... but i'm gonna place it at a low priority for now in my ubuntu adventures... maybe next ubuntu release will have more unity magic that will just make something cool happen [05:44] Ahh i am 32bit pae and my system sees i have 8 gigs [05:44] vooze: Virtualbox. To do so, when the machine is running, click "Devices -> Install Guest Additions" [05:44] vooze, in your virtualbox. and if it's xp, you will want to install it in safe mode. [05:44] jamiewan: I can switch to tty1-tty6, its just happening on tty7 [05:44] hylian, i haven't flashed my bios, but this is my computer [05:45] http://compare.ebay.com/like/260741697286?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar [05:45] i tried to paste the message, but the D thing in grayed out.

So i can set the device in monitor mode etc but I am stuck using my pci with little to no reception [05:48] i've installed wicd no luck, keeps timing out and wpa applicant [05:48] anthony, if you have a usb key then i suggest you use unetbootin, and install that iso you are downloading. then you can try it out for yourself before install to see if this solves your memory issue. either way in 32 bit you will never be able to use the full 4 gigs. [05:48] with no success [05:48] jamiewan: control+alt+f7 takes me to the one that is hanging [05:49] mokti: i dunno mate, sounds like somethings gone amiss on the install, ask again later but if it was me i'd just reinstall it and hope for the best [05:49] goodnight all, i am just too tired to continue... [05:49] hylian, thx, but im sure im better off going with 64... just needed an OS up, to download the new 64 bit distro [05:50] hylian, I'm done with windows :D [05:50] * hylian 's brain is now off.

[05:50] mokti: sometimes thats quicker than trying to fix stuff especiall if its a fresh install [05:50] jamiewan: It would be if my updates didn't take forever to install [05:51] jamiewan: I have a slow DSL connection lol [05:51] ok [05:51] Guys [05:51] I made a mistake [05:51] a big one === aaron is now known as Guest27128 [05:51] how to run for loop with sudo?

[05:55] theadmin: sorry to ask you again, but after i did what you said, it seems its still unity2d after i logged in and out (it was ofcouse successful in terminal when installing) is there somthing i'm missing? [05:55] yos,, i sure will [05:55] yoss* [05:55] vooze: You have to reboot the vm [05:55] notlistening, i'll have to drive this piece of garbage to service. hopefully i'll get it fixed (or replaced). thankfully the hdd is intact :) [05:55] windows-equivalents? sorry, but i'm transitioning from xp pro.

[05:58] mokti: what was it? [05:58] that means that you have updates [05:58] ready to be installed [05:58] new1^ [05:59] new1: The update manager is weird [05:59] jamiewan: my video card [05:59] new1: If I were you I'd delete that stuff altogether and just use apt-get to update, but then again I'm not a new user [05:59] saywhat have you tried looking at the dmesg output when you are going through various stages of the process [05:59] jamiewan: it uses NVIDIA Optimus, which causes problems, so I changed it in the BIOS [05:59] at least for me it is [05:59] ok. but everytime i run it like that, it gives me an error message. but when i run it manually, it runs fine. [05:59] mokti: sweet, well done [05:59] saywhat do you have ethernet and wifi connected at the same time? [06:00] hello [06:00] yes [06:00] i'm looking for a word in a file but i don't know the file location [06:00] so disconnect all if you can [06:00] what do i type in the temrinal ? [06:00] notlistening, yes i think that is the problem [06:00] then plugin the wifi and connect and try again [06:00] grep then what ? [06:01] notlistening, i dont want to black list the pci, in anticipation i wont be able to ever get the connectionback.lol [06:01] I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint [06:01] I have tested ubuntu with wifi and ethernet together and it works in theory [06:01] ttr45: find / | grep myword [06:01] lol saywhat don't blacklist it [06:01] moshanator so find / | will search all the harddisk ? [06:01] just pull the cable out [06:01] ttr45, yes [06:01] they are both supported. I have no idea why the usb pick s up signals but cant connect [06:02] TTR45: Actually, all of mounted drives and partitions [06:02] you can also search some dfolder instead of / [06:02] *folder [06:02] ahh now can't connect is different from connected and can't ping [06:03] when i say cant connect i mean firefox [06:03] so you have a wifi router? [06:03] i can ping but i'm not sure if its pinging from my pci which is what i'm connected to right now [06:03] i have an internal wifi card and a external [06:03] Moshanator the word is in a file [06:03] pull the cable out [06:03] i'm trying to get the external going [06:03] so what do i type again? find / | ? [06:03] ttr45, right, noticed that myself [06:03] ok [06:04] how to execute bash for loop with sudo? [06:04] Lint: You can't really. Do a "sudo -i" first [06:04] Lint: That will open an administrative shell [06:04] ttr45, does it have to be the terminal? [06:04] Lint: Work from there [06:05] gnome has a search tool you could use [06:06] wait out of the router? [06:07] saywhat what does that mean? [06:07] i mean i can pull the usb wireless card connected and it wont do anything [06:08] i'll still have connection via my pci internal card [06:08] ah okay so they are both wirles [06:08] but i would like to put the external to use as it has a longer range [06:08] wireless [06:08] no one is internal [06:08] the one i can connect on is internal [06:08] okay are you using ubuntu? [06:09] blackbutu [06:09] buntu [06:09] ttr45, grep -lir "myword" /in/this/dir will work [06:10] Okay so you are familiar with network manager? [06:10] somewhat yes [06:10] lol okay [06:11] try going and unselecting your internet card and then select the external card === XLV_ is now known as XLV [06:12] yes i've done that in the past. however it says there has been a connection established shows full bars and yet nothing when i try to connect http [06:12] right well when you have it configured like that you can begin to diagnose the problem [06:13] but i guess you can no longer use irc? [06:13] How do I use iPhone 3GS USB tethering with ubuntu 11.04 ? [06:13] yes [06:14] the first time i installed buntu i was able to connect with the usb [06:14] now nothing [06:14] okay get both interfaces up and running [06:14] plus i rm windows right off the partition so...

[06:19] I wanted to pm you then you can show me the output [06:19] what irc client you using? [06:20] i have ubuntu unity 11.04 , whenever i click the Ubuntu start button on the top left it will fill up my screen and i wouldnt be able to see the bottom right cornor where i can maximize the unity [06:21] Xcalibar, did you like unity? if not, use ubuntu classic which is gnome [06:21] what button is to take screenshot so i can show u [06:21] a lot of people disliked it but didnt knew that they could switch [06:21] Xcalibar: print screen [06:21] Xcalibar: PrtSc button [06:21] Yoss, i like the unity interface , i am a mature person , ( sorry print screen button doesnt work whenever i click the start button ) [06:21] any more ubuntu laptop sites like system76 ? [06:22] Xcalibar: strange, i just tried, works [06:22] click the start button on the left top side [06:22] the Ubuntu Circle do u guys call it start? [06:22] we call it dash, i think [06:22] at least Canonical does [06:23] Yoss, Unity is sure universal GUI , i have a macbook pro and i use unity for my work , i still feel im at home , i just use my mac os for the battery life when im in the train or the plane [06:23] Xcalibar: hit it then type take screenshot and the icon should become visible [06:25] jamiewan, doesnt work , come to my teamviewer if u have teamviewer any1 is welcome to join 169 684 861 [06:25] ok [06:25] Xcaliber, personally i found it not so useful [06:25] the launcher was made with no thoughts of usability what so ever. [06:25] poor say what :D [06:25] pass is 1934 , i am using my pc now , unity is great on my mac no problems [06:26] using xchat [06:26] look top right and see me messaging you [06:26] sorry left [06:27] Yoss, if u have used mac os x , this is exactly the same , infact i have my mac os x dock on the left side [06:27] my ubuntu session is bloated to 214 MB, how can I trim it to reasonable size? [06:27] Xcalibar: i running ubuntu on macbook too, its cool aye [06:28] I hate mac, and just about anything apple makes lol [06:28] 1 thing that surprises me is when i click on the xchat icon from the unity , it wont minimize [06:28] GNU/Linux ideology is better :) [06:28] Yoss, they have medication for that now. ;-) [06:28] jamiewan, im for flexibility , and open source , i like the idea that i feel i have a mac os running with everything free and more powerful [06:29] urlin2u, lol, i just think that apple is stealing from people [06:29] and would prefer open source over an apple product any day :P [06:29] Xcalibar: screw mac and windows, just good hardware i like lol, ubuntu works great on all systems i've got [06:29] yoss, pragmatism/ideology tends to be a sliding scale, also, it's kinda #ubuntu-offtopic [06:30] Xcalibar: and yeah open source is the way, freedom, truth and all the other shite :-) [06:31] heil linux and rms [06:31] ...or something. [06:32] well, ubuntu offtopic is more suiting, so i'm there if anybody wants to talk about "ideology of Linux and mac " :P [06:32] Yoss, we can take it to the offtopic if u want , but usually Ubuntu users from Professionals like to use terminal to do their work , forexample when ssh'ing or when copying files or moving it.. and if u tell them about KDE or better GUI they will dislike that , if u want to know about peoples opinion , look at it broadly , i believe it requires practice thats all , but no one wants to go back to oldschool , they want a newschool push for everything thats [06:32] the fact of life today [06:33] Xcalibar: most ubuntu'ers would be cli users i think to a great degree [06:33] !ot | Xcalibar [06:33] Xcalibar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Anyone? http://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started/devkitARM [06:58] mokti, they are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [06:58] mokti: find the file with the ppa name(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or use the GUI software sources manager [06:59] Astrology, you can ask dpkg -S [06:59] urlin2u: thanks [06:59] tsimpson: thanks [06:59] dc5ala: not found [07:00] mokti, no problem, I use ubuntu tweak even though I know how to remove this stuff and do otherthings it offers.

[07:06] sorry don't know [07:06] how to search a package which is needed by command "acpiconf" ? [07:06] motki, system --> administration --> preferences -> power management --> general [07:06] mokti, ubuntu doesn't have a rollback function, but you can remove stuff, and change the driver. Have you logged out or rebooted to see if it fixes your problems? [07:06] i got a unity problem , whnever i click the start button , the window appears to bypass my screen resolution from the right side [07:06] always display icon [07:06] if you meant that [07:06] I installed Firefox 6 on maverick through firefox release ppa, but about:support says "GPU Accelerated Windows 0/1". [07:06] Astrology, ah okay, you may try http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [07:06] urlin2u: yes [07:07] I thought hw acceleration on GNU/Linux was a go in FF6? I'm using nV blob 280.13 [07:07] which is the best tool for creating dvd's from an avi (whatever encryption) file? [07:07] dc5ala: I tried it, not found, I use package name search and description search too. [07:07] mokti, have you been messing with compiz? [07:07] urlin2u: no, NVIDIA drivers [07:08] mokti, where did you get the driver from? [07:08] Astrology, on debian that file was in package freebsd-utils [07:08] I want to go back to the default settings/driver to display at the correct resolution (unless you can help me with that :) ) [07:08] does not Jockie auto-detects? [07:08] dc5ala: thanks for you advise , a good way now. [07:08] urlin2u: want to go back to the default settings/driver to display at the correct resolution (unless you can help me with that :) ) [07:09] mokti, graphic drivers are not really something I'm real familiar with all my computers work out of the gate. [07:09] No hardware acceleration on maverick with Firefox 6 + nVIDIA? [07:11] mokti, have you tried changing your desktop resolution via System -> Settings menu? [07:11] yes [07:11] dc5ala: yes [07:11] dc5ala: it doesn't show the highest resolution [07:12] dc5ala: which is why I think I need to rollback the video card driver, but I don't know how [07:12] mokti, what driver are you using? [07:12] im not sure right now... [07:12] i want to burn a 6 gb movie onto dvd. that is why i'd have to low down the quality a little for fitting onto dvd. which tool to use? [07:13] dc5ala: I think it might be nvidia_current [07:13] i got a unity problem , whnever i click the start button , the window appears to bypass my screen resolution from the right side , any solutions i tried gsettings set com.canonical.Unity form-factor [07:14] mokti, maybe you can paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://paste.ubuntu.com [07:14] dc5ala: I was following a troubleshooting forum post, and at one point I ran "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*" and "sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" [07:15] dc5ala: okay, hold on [07:16] mokti, you could try reinstall nvidia-current then [07:16] No one using Firefox 6 with nVIDIA hardware? [07:16] tobago, handbrake will convert it if it is not drm locked, and reduce the size as well I believe. [07:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/675795/ [07:16] dc5ala: I think nvidia-current is the wrong one [07:17] btw anyways if i can use the unity dock to minmize applications , if i use my left mouse click on the same app , and i got a problem with Empathy , the chat windows when i dont check my msg's the unity dock doesnt appear it , and sometimes the upper panel dismisses it and i have to search for the blinking tag on the messenger window.. === Davi0n is now known as Davion [07:17] dc5ala: http://paste.ubuntu.com/675795/ [07:18] mokti, i have a look [07:18] Excuse, can anyone help me run counter strike 1.6? [07:19] danny_: You should get a look at http://winehq.org and #winehq [07:20] mokti, it could not find any of the 3 nvidia drivers and is falling back to Vesa, you have problems with nvidia-current? [07:20] danny_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CounterStrike [07:20] mokti, i usually use nvidia-current here, you have problem with it? [07:20] help can i use the unity dock to minmize applications , if i use my left mouse click on the same app , and i got a problem with Empathy , the chat windows when i dont check my msg's the unity dock doesnt appear it , and sometimes the upper panel dismisses it and i have to search for the blinking tag on the messenger window.. [07:20] The installation went fine, but it fails to run, thing is all those tutorials are about running counter strike in steam [07:21] dc5ala: I thought I did. I'm going to try nvidia-common, then current [07:21] hi [07:22] Xcalibar, i really suggest opening a topic at the forums [07:22] mokti, just use nvidia-current, that is a meta package [07:22] maybe someone over there will know [07:22] won't hurt [07:22] dc5ala: what is a meta package [07:22] danny_: You should get a Steam version -- we do not support pirated editions, nor does Wine [07:23] Ahhhh, I see [07:23] mokti, it should install the current version [07:23] danny_: You *might* or might not have luck running them... We can't help with doing so [07:23] Xcalibar, I use docky as well and just find the work around to these problems. I don't think unity is really done in develpment, and or designed to run perfectly with other panels. [07:24] common works [07:24] dc5ala: I just finished restarting with common and it shows the correct resolution. I'm going to try current in a second [07:24] mokti, im sorry, it's no meta package at all anymore, i just checked [07:25] Well thanks anyways :) [07:25] dc5ala: I do have one question before I restart again, how do I make the power icon on the top right (used to power down, log off, etc.) show up? [07:25] dc5ala: it isn't there anymore... [07:25] mokti, this belongs to some status applet you can add [07:26] dc5ala: how would I go about adding it? [07:27] mokti, right click on a free place in the panel and choose add, then look for a session program there [07:28] dc5ala: there is only the ugly red shut down button. Is there a way to get the default one to show up? [07:28] mokti, sorry i am using a different locale here so i don't know the exact name ;) [07:29] motki, are you trying to reset your desktop or something? [07:29] dc5ala: oh, and the time is not there.... [07:30] mokti, better get your desktop resolution higher first :) [07:30] dc5ala: I fixed the time/power thing "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" [07:31] dc5ala: I'm going to try the other video card driver [07:31] so, i just downloaded the ubuntu 11.04 and put it on a usb drive. when i try to 'install' it wants me to log in first. i trued user ubuntu with no password. not sure what else to try. any suggestions [07:32] slithytove20061, boot to the desktop, make sure it runs okay then install. [07:32] dc5ala: Right now (in Additional Drivers) I am using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current), and I am at the correct resolution [07:32] dc5ala: however, I cannot adjust the brightness... [07:33] urlin2u: 'mounting aufs on /root failed: Invalid argument\naufs monut failed" [07:34] slithytove20061, did you check the ISO's md5sum? [07:34] dc5ala: however, I cannot adjust the brightness... [07:34] dc5ala: Right now (in Additional Drivers) I am using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current), and I am at the correct resolution [07:35] dc5ala: are you there? [07:35] i didn't [07:36] mokti, was getting new coffee :p do you also have that nvidia-settings tool installed? [07:36] dc5ala: I believe so [07:36] dc5ala: I do, also sorry! [07:37] lhow to fix firefox fonts being blurry and gay? [07:37] slithytove20061, here is a link for that, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM IF you used the thumb loader that ubuntu.com suggests, try unetbootin if the ISO is good, [07:38] Lint, using the term gay is not appropriate. [07:38] mokti, so this driver is working for you? [07:38] dc5ala: everything except the brightness controls [07:38] gay is not a pejorative Lint, don't use it as one. [07:39] language is a virus [07:39] humans are a virus [07:39] dc5ala: the indicator that pops up on the top right shows that the brigtness of the screen is changing; however, the brightness does not actually change [07:39] centHOGG, so is marginalization. [07:39] how to register on irc? [07:40] !nickserv | repozitor1 [07:40] urlin2u: where do i find what the md5 should be? its not showing me on the downloads page [07:40] mokti, no idea about that [07:41] dc5ala: okay, well thanks for all the help! [07:41] semantics aside, how make firefox look normal? [07:41] dc5ala: I'll look around some more [07:41] slithytove20061, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [07:41] nvm urlin2u, found it. [07:41] lol =] [07:42] or is there some other browser with firefox kernel but without silly blurry ui? [07:42] yup, it matches [07:42] mokti, was the problem of not being able to change brightness the reason you tried other drivers? === younishd_ is now known as younishd [07:42] Lint, disrespecting is not a semantics problem. [07:43] dc5ala: yes [07:44] mokti, so i suppose you are on a laptop, you can try other drivers, just make sure you have one at a time there, in your case earlier you had none [07:44] dc5ala: okay [07:46] dc5ala: and yes, I am on a laptop [07:49] what is the command to delete my default desktop install. using 11.04. [07:49] urlin2u: so what happend with Lint [07:50] been using xfce. I never used the gnome so would like to delete it. or unity or whatever it is. [07:52] centHOGG, nothing other then I find the common use of that term as a pejorative quite offensive, especially on a family friendly channel. The social norm that holds that term to be used that way is discriminatory. [07:52] teage, you could install xubuntu-desktop [07:52] k [07:53] i meant with firefox [07:53] dc5ala, I did. used it ever since. just want to delet the ubuntu desktop install that I never use. [07:53] firefox are blurry in UI and window itself [07:53] centHOGG, blurry font I don't know the answer. [07:53] dc5ala: isn't there usually an option for "more effects" or something when you go into System > Preferences > Appearance ? [07:54] Anyone willing to help a noob troubleshoot a problem? [07:55] dep [07:55] conditional.. I like it [07:55] I *think* my usb wireless card is autosuspending even though it's not idle [07:56] after installing docky maximizing windows just stop on top of docky is there any way to intelligently hide this docky down so that when we move the mouse only then it appears... [07:56] I don't know how to troubleshoot my theory.. it's just a theory. But wlan0 just "goes away" [07:56] does it do this on another os dkatz? [07:57] centaur5: great question.. Never thought to try. [07:57] gah.. tab completion [07:57] centHOGG [07:57] np :P [07:57] verify the hw first... then go on to the sw [07:58] Can anybody tell me which version of wine to download for ubuntu 11.04 64-bit [07:58] WsAgent, click the docky icon far left of panel, and adjust [07:58] anthony: The latest as usual. All the instructions are on http://winehq.org [07:58] centHOGG: Hrmm.. strong suggestion. [07:58] mokti, it used to be there, maybe is now only via compiz config settings manager [07:58] yeah 3 levels to trobleshooting hw-fw-sw [07:59] urlin2u: I tried that but change [07:59] cH - well. to add another layer of obfuscation, my ubuntu is running on a vmware image ;) [08:00] hw-fw-vmw-sw? [08:00] idk bout that dkatz [08:00] well you could try another os vm [08:00] dkatz: As for virtualizers, Ubuntu really works best with Virtualbox [08:00] i would [08:00] centHOGG: Yeah.. I've got a WinXP image I can fire up. [08:01] k [08:01] thx [08:01] np [08:01] urlin2u : thanks it worked... my fault i didn't select the dock while i am doing the change [08:02] WsAgent, it is kinda tricky took me awhile to realize that if you do dome adjustment you have to reclick the panel [08:02] theadmin: Just using VMWare because it's what I've already got. Is virtualbox that much better? IIRC ubuntu used to distribute prebuilt vmware images [08:02] I am going to head out, but I have one last question [08:02] hey guys there is a whole section on the ubuntu help site about installation on macs [08:02] some* [08:02] ware [08:03] do you guys know if there is a channel specially for that discussion [08:03] dkatz: Well, you can use the standard Ubuntu ISO with Virtualbox. Plus, Virtualbox is free and opensource [08:03] I remember (in older versions of ubuntu) that there was an application with a logo that was a green monitor. [08:03] urlin2u : yeah relaly [08:03] That application let you monitor the network, processes, etc. [08:03] urlin2u: can adding persistence interfere with the process? [08:03] hi [08:03] similar to the task manager in windows [08:03] sombody rom greece? [08:03] I'm all about FOSS, but I also have a box already paid for. (torn) [08:03] Anyone know why distribution upgrades wouldn't show up in Update Manager? (Trying to upgrade from 8.04...) [08:03] does anyone know what that was? I thougt it was installed by default [08:04] damianfrancis: I don't think there is. [08:04] thx oCean [08:04] mokti, gnome-system-monitor? [08:04] damianfrancis: in #ubuntu-offtopic there's plenty of general discussion, including macs [08:05] :)0 [08:05] slithytove20061, shouldn't unless it is bigger then the thumb, which should throw an error. I have never gotten the thumb loader suggested by ubuntu.com to work consistently, but I have with unetbootin. [08:05] oCean: even though these issues are specific to installation it kinda sounds like this is the right place [08:06] ive used the multi-boot loader from that same site quite well, never to install though [08:06] from greece someone? [08:06] :) [08:06] !greek [08:06] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [08:06] Sakman: ^ [08:06] yes [08:06] damianfrancis: help is in this channel, unless it's about unsupported derivatives. General discussion/chat is in -offtopic channel [08:07] thea!! [08:07] boo, end of life on 8.04, [08:07] ? [08:07] urlin2u: desktop yes, server still going [08:08] urlin2u: high five man [08:08] 10.04 is not bad at all [08:08] but 10.10 is great [08:08] oCean, left out the caveat thanks, my bad. [08:08] I'm trying to sort out someone's laptop so I'm trying to upgrade it to a (much) newer version, but the option for upgrading to a newer version has vanished from Update Manager [08:09] unity sucks... [08:09] ulas: You're not the only one who thinks that. [08:09] centHOGG, I only have 4 fingers. :D [08:09] !classic | ulas [08:09] ulas: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [08:09] for sure btw gnome 3 sucks too. [08:10] I found Xubuntu more useful than others.. [08:10] ulas: I know >.< I suggest switching to Xfce, indeed [08:10] ulas: did you just want to rant? or do you have a support question [08:10] unity is good to use.. [08:10] i just wanted some chat nothing more :) no offense.. [08:10] just bored. [08:11] ulas: Well, this is the support channel [08:11] ulas: this is the support channel, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:11] fair enough thanks :) [08:11] ulas: I have to warn you though, people in #ubuntu-offtopic discuss weird stuff most of the time [08:11] hi there [08:11] :)) thanks for warning [08:12] theadmin, it is a bit... well lets say special. [08:12] let's move on, ok? [08:12] Yeah oCean is right [08:12] installing ubuntu alternate for powerpc. Where to find the mirror by country? please. It only suggests united kingdom. [08:13] lol [08:13] sorry [08:14] anyone knows how to make the unity dock more like the doc on Mac OS X.. like the icons move and jump when clicked/ app acticated? [08:15] heh [08:15] will fuck the UK servers damn [08:15] mephist0: you could use another? or bittorrent? [08:16] sourig, they should be jumping check the setting click on the icon in the panel. [08:16] slithytove20061 im installing. It asks for mirror for instalation [08:16] mephist0, is it the minimal? [08:17] an alternate for powerpc :) [08:17] the fact is the cd never reaches the install. [08:17] mephist0, never did an install with that disc [08:18] myself [08:18] urlin2u thx anyway.

[08:26] urgh. tow when i run the installer (or boot live), it gets to a screen with thebackgound and a mouse and just sits there. i can use the mouse, but nothing else [08:26] is it possible to mount more than one loop device at the same time? [08:28] mm [08:28] so what can I do? [08:28] reistall ubuntu [08:29] I have always the same error [08:32] [287841.880897] generic-usb 0003:051D:0002.0001: control queue full <-- I have this a million times in dmesg, why? [08:33] and by million I don't really mean a million... [08:33] DkrTremos: It sounds like the file is corrupted (not passing the CRC check). That's not an ubuntu error. [08:34] Hi, do you guys know if there is such a thing as "dual suspend" ? i.e. suspend a dual-boot machine, and when resuming, decide which partition (suspended) to resume... [08:34] no error ubuntu? [08:35] DkrTremos: No. Error is in the psy*.gz file. Not in ubuntu. [08:35] #borat [08:36] Hello, is there anyone who know, how i can setup ubuntu one sync on a headless ubuntu-server? === mephist0 is now known as I\O_error [08:37] DkrTremos, the paramater f should be followed by the filename, so use that as last parameter [08:38] ssh & google i'm guessing [08:38] fabio: Check out u1sdtool. [08:39] Thank u ;) === I\O_error is now known as I\O_Error [08:43] hi [08:44] o/ [08:44] hi [08:44] I tried out fedora again for the first time in a while. I've been spoiled by apt.

Not really the best idea (imo) but better than RPM (again, imo) [08:57] yeah, debian based at bare minimum, lol [08:57] is it possible to have two loop back devices mounted at the same time? [08:59] * I\O_Error has occurred [09:00] I\O_Error: You have the wrong slash :/ [09:00] hey [09:01] theadmin how you see im running at root? [09:01] I have on loop device mounted, when I try to mount a second one, I get the erro: [09:01] ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Device or resource busy [09:01] renzhi: you can have up to the number supported by your kernel, usually 8 [09:02] fabiobik: I /whois you [09:02] hi [09:02] can somebody help me with a question i have concerning raid and fstab [09:03] !ask | Guybrush_T [09:03] Guybrush_T: 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. :-) [09:03] ok then [09:03] renzhi: check out the man for losetup, which controls auto assignment, or if that is not working you can explicitly set up the loop then mount with it [09:04] i have 2 raids created during ubuntu installation : raid 1 with 2 hds with / on it and a raid5 mounted on /data [09:04] now the fstab looks like this [09:04] http://pastebin.com/42TezPAB [09:05] i noticed that the raid5 apparantly was mounted with the uuid [09:05] !enter Guybrush_T [09:06] but the other one not [09:06] !enter | Guybrush_T [09:06] Guybrush_T: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:06] ah ok - im sorry [09:06] im done though so : next time [09:07] Guybrush_T: you forgot to ask the question or describe what the problem was. === RobinJ is now known as zz_RobinJ [09:07] whoppergator: I try to create encrypted files container with a loop device, here are the steps: [09:08] dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.raw bs=1k count=10240 [09:08] mknod /dev/loop1 b 7 0 [09:08] Is the /dev/mapper/System-os / in fstab really my raid, or maybe just sda? Because the way my raids got mounted are so different and i dont understand why. [09:08] losetup /dev/loop1 /tmp/test1.raw [09:09] !enter | renzhi [09:09] renzhi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:09] Guybrush_T: what does your crypttab look like? [09:09] I need a linux guru here [09:09] SwedeMike: sorry never heard of that [09:09] sorry guys, not much of an irc user, I only use this when I'm running out of wit... ;) [09:10] zahh: Those who say that usually do not. You should just ask the question [09:10] if devpts, proc, sysfs are all virtual filesystems [09:10] renzhi: why are you using mknod? you should have plenty of free loop devices already [09:10] are they recreated upon reboot [09:10] zahh: Yeah [09:10] and does deleteing them do any real harm [09:10] zahh: No, not really. Just make sure their proper mountpoints still exist [09:10] Guybrush_T: oki, I thought the /dev/mapper ones was due to encryption. [09:11] zahh: i.e. /dev/, /proc/, /sys/ and such [09:11] k, thanks theadmin, the reason i ask is because ive created a chroot environment [09:11] ah no encryption i only encrypt on my notebook [09:11] aand i need to mount those i believe [09:11] to make it a full system [09:11] as theyre all empty right now [09:11] SwedeMike: i just google crypttab - should i still post it? [09:11] whoppergator: can't you create your own instead of using those created by the system? [09:11] zahh: Well... You can bind them with your real system [09:11] if I do something crazy and accidently wipe them [09:11] well it do any unrecoverable damage [09:11] or will a reboot fix the prob [09:11] hi [09:12] Guybrush_T: if you don't use encryption then there is no need. I'm trying to think of an easy to way to figure out what kind of device /dev/mapper/System-os is, but I'm drawing a blank. [09:12] renzhi: sure, by why bother? i mean, you shouldn't have a problem either way, but it is usually easier just to use the mount option loop, which automatically picks the next free loop device [09:12] Basically what i want to find out is if bhing the /dev/mapper/system-os [09:12] whoppergator: on one of the system, no loop device is created [09:12] can i modify dependencyes in a deb package ??? [09:12] SwedeMike: Right - this is exactly what i wanted to ask - how to check WHAT system-os is [09:12] zahh: mount --rbind /dev /your-chroot/dev ; mount -t proc none /your-chroot/proc [09:13] renzhi: if there is no loop device at all, that means the kernel either doesn't have support compiled in, or the loop.ko module hasn't been loaded [09:13] ah k thanks [09:13] renzhi: are you doing this on an ubuntu system? [09:13] whoppergator: on that system, I create mknod and mount it manually [09:14] can i modify dependencyes list in i deb package? [09:14] whoppergator: on ubuntu and on cyanogenmod (android) [09:14] my movie player cant .flv... help [09:14] theadmin: is it possible for me to damage the host's devpts proc and sys in an unrecoverable way [09:14] zahh: Doubt that. [09:14] coo. [09:14] Well, I gotta go [09:15] Im doing this on a phone I bought two days ago [09:15] whoppergator: on android, loop is compiled in, not as a module [09:15] damn thing costs $600 [09:15] zahh: a phone with ubuntu? [09:15] android [09:15] SwedeMike: i just used dmsetup described here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/22548/how-do-i-know-what-physical-drives-partitions-are-behind-my-dev-mapper-isw-dghbb [09:15] zahh: so thats very offtopic for this channel === fabio is now known as hyneckf [09:15] renzhi: yes you are correct. next time please let us know what you are doing this on. i have run into this problem before. the solution is to make sure you are using the busybox versions of losetup and mount, not the system versions [09:15] uh not really [09:15] now i have an UUID [09:16] ubuntu is based on debian [09:16] im install debian on it [09:16] zahh: really, really offtopic [09:16] zahh: this channel is only ubuntu [09:16] god hates ubuntu [09:16] whoppergator: on android, I'm using busybox to do everything [09:16] zahh: stay nice [09:17] whoppergator: on ubuntu, I used the system version, but in both cases, I got the same error [09:17] renzhi: so are you explicitly calling busybox mount and busybox lo? because the standard busybox install will not take priority over the system ones [09:17] whoppergator: yes [09:18] renzhi: interesting. i have done exactly what you are trying to do many times on my droid2, and haven't had any issues. are you doing this inside a chrooted ubuntu environment? [09:18] whoppergator: I grabbed the standard busybox, and run the command with absolute path [09:18] whoppergator: yes [09:19] renzhi: it might be an issue with your chroot process then, esp if you aren't passing in the right dev nodes before you do it [09:19] Hi, I recently upgraded to ubunu 11.04 from 10.10. While upgrading, I allowed the update manager to reset some apache2 configuration files. As a result, I cannot open phpmyadmin in my browser, it shows Not found, can someone help me out ?? [09:20] whoppergator: could you be more explicit? [09:20] crap [09:21] that clever theadmin dudes gone [09:21] Does /dev/pts, /proc, /sysfs have to be writable? [09:22] zahh: it doesn't matter, your question is offtopic. Please take it to a more appropriate channel [09:22] renzhi: you should be calling something like: mount --rbind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev to make sure that the chrooted environment can actually reach back out to the real device nodes === mohan is now known as Guest37107 [09:23] renzhi: for you to, there's no support for android environment here [09:23] *too [09:23] whoppergator: on ubuntu, I run everything as root, and i can only mount one device too [09:23] renzhi: on another side, note, some android systems use all of the std loop devices, so you might be required to create a new one like you are already doing [09:23] Any idea how to get a "safe" flash plugin for 10.04LTS 64bit? [09:23] whoppergator: let's drop the android discussion please [09:23] renzhi and whoppergator I think you two are attempting to do what im doing as well [09:24] are you running ubuntu chrooted in an android phone? [09:24] zahh, renzhi and I told you to take it elsewhere, last warning [09:24] oCean: this is ubuntu-related, as I got the error on ubuntu [09:24] mozilla disables it, and if I enable it, it tends to lead to hung plugin helpers with a message in the kernel log about an illegal memory access. [09:24] renzhi: that part, fair enough. But stop asking for support with the android part [09:24] oCean: I first ask the question on ubuntu system [09:25] oCean: I'm not, I'm trying to get answer for ubuntu, that's all. I can't mount more than one loop device on ubuntu, that's the initial issue [09:26] renzhi: zahh: either of you are welcome to continue this discussion with me privately, otherwise i will defer to oCean and stick to the ubuntu loop question [09:26] thanks [09:26] thanks whoppergator [09:27] nvm, got it working [09:27] thanks, I'll try the different command options to see if there's something I'm missing === gregoire is now known as ruby_bot_0 [09:31] [09:31] how to get a username from IRC channel?

This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem? [09:49] raj-darkmystery, is the hdd of the other os connected === ubuntu__ is now known as nova_hg [09:50] linuxuz3r, both oss on same hdd [09:50] raj-darkmystery, what os is it [09:50] yacc, i dont use ff6 so i cant help [09:50] mint with vista [09:50] raj-darkmystery, edit /etc/default/grub, comment the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line and set the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to what you want then run "sudo upgdate-grub" [09:50] i dont wanna install ppa stuff [09:51] update-grub2 actually [09:51] glebihan, already did that [09:51] linuxuz3r, update-grub=upgrade-grub2 when you have grub2 installed [09:51] raj-darkmystery, it should autodetect your os [09:52] what os is it btw [09:52] how can I search the apt-get repos for an item i want to install? This is on ubuntu server via ssh [09:52] imanc, apt-cache search name [09:52] apt-cache search name [09:52] thanks, i actually knew that facepalm [09:52] linuxuz3r, i tried update-grub but its not displaying os selection menu at boot [09:53] Hello guys.. Is there any way to customize the lock dialog in xfce? [09:53] raj-darkmystery, could you pastebin you /etc/default/grub file ? === maku is now known as maku` [09:54] actually its much better if it is /boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:54] paste that [09:54] linuxuz3r, no [09:54] oh why [09:54] he did update grub right [09:54] linuxuz3r, because that file is going to be overwritten every time you install a new kernel and run update-grub [09:54] and it gets generated to /boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:55] linuxuz3r, that's right so the file to modify is /etc/default/grub [09:55] glebihan, 'm nt sure about pastebin thing but here is the output (it is of 5-6 lines only) [09:55] !paste | raj-darkmystery [09:55] raj-darkmystery: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [09:57] glebihan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675844/ [09:57] back, nothing as cool as a dead X11 server :) [09:59] raj-darkmystery, wow that's weird, it's the exact same as mine... [09:59] raj-darkmystery, and you did run update-grub right ? [10:01] with sudo [10:01] glebihan, yes glebihan .. but it then generates menu.lst and here is the output.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/675845/ no signs of windows === mike_ is now known as Guest81164 [10:02] raj-darkmystery, update-grub does not generate menu.lst but /boot/grub/grub.cfg (well with grub2 that is) [10:02] he might have installed grub and grub2 [10:02] i got that problem before [10:03] linuxuz3r, you might be right [10:03] raj-darkmystery, try runnning "sudo update-grub2" [10:03] glebihan, no windows entry in grub.cfg as well.. what does it means? [10:04] raj-darkmystery, try completely uninstalling grub2 reinstalling grub then uninstall grub then reinstall grub2 [10:04] ur kidding arent you? [10:04] glebihan, its showing that grub2 can be installed from the package list.. it means i am using grub only right :-/ [10:04] well thats how i remember to fix it [10:04] raj-darkmystery, oh you do have grub and grub2 installed and you have an entry in your menu.lst to chainload into grub2 [10:05] linuxuz3r, sorry for the wrong info but i am using grub and not grub2 [10:05] oh for grub [10:05] ok [10:05] glebihan, yes there is an entry of chainload into grub 2 [10:06] raj-darkmystery, wow grub2 is not installed, how did you get to have that chainload entry then ? [10:06] raj-darkmystery, you need windows entry on grub [10:06] On my Lucid box, flash player in youtube doesn't redraw itself unless I move something else on my screen (move another window, hover over a link in firefox etc). This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem? [10:06] raj-darkmystery, yes I noticed that but you shouldn't have that unless you installed grub2 [10:07] alkisg, what distro and what firefox version and is it 64bit [10:07] distro == ubuntu version [10:07] glebihan, should i install it? :-o if no harm [10:07] linuxuz3r: i386, stock lucid packages versions [10:07] No ppas or anything [10:07] cannot connect to ssh server any more. username and password right. testuser also does not work. any ideas? [10:07] raj-darkmystery, before trying to put windows into the OS list, you should cleanup things and properly install grub2 [10:08] alksig got that problem before what i did is i downloaded the beta flashplayer on adobes website [10:08] the installation is pretty simple [10:08] glebihan, please suggest what to do.. coz 'm nt much comfortable with grub thing [10:08] raj-darkmystery, follow that guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading%20to%20GRUB%202%20From%20GRUB [10:08] alkisg, just remember to chmod +x libflashplayer.so [10:09] linuxuz3r: when you say before, about when do you mean? 1 month ago? Because I only recently got the problem, probably due to an update [10:09] raj-darkmystery, what version of u utu are you using? [10:09] ubuntu [10:10] yeah updates sometimes borks your system [10:10] linuxuz3r: if it's broken, I need to report it.. that's why I'm asking if anyone else has had this problem recently, as in, the last week or so [10:10] Did you? [10:10] nope [10:10] OK, thanks [10:10] should i? [10:11] maybe i should report problems too [10:11] ok [10:11] Of course, that's what bug trackers are for [10:11] would I be able to play a game like Planeshift in Ubuntu using the default ATI drivers for a Radeon HD card, or would I need to install the fglrx driver? [10:11] what did the update break for you? [10:12] uabn93: if you're talking to me, I mean this: [10:12] (01:06:19 μμ) alkisg: On my Lucid box, flash player in youtube doesn't redraw itself unless I move something else on my screen (move another window, hover over a link in firefox etc). This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem? [10:12] Sound plays, image is "paused" [10:12] gaelfx, is that opengl game? [10:12] And when I move the mouse, it moves [10:12] *it plays [10:13] linuxuz3r: I don't think so [10:13] are games in wine slower than they are in windows? [10:13] alkisg, does the problem occur only on youtube ? [10:13] urlin2u, what is utu? [10:13] gaelfx, did you try it? [10:13] happygolucky, yes and many won't work at all in wine [10:13] glebihan, have install grub2 .. rebooting now.. will update you with the status [10:13] raj-darkmystery, ok [10:14] ubuntu look two line below for the correct raj-darkmystery [10:14] linuxuz3r: no, I'm shopping for a new comp and wondering if one with an ATI card is serviceable for me [10:14] glebihan: yes, it only happens on youtube, but I'm not 100% that it's a youtube problem or if youtube is using some flash feature that other websites don't [10:14] sorry urlin2u was making some changes in system so ddnt observed. Its mint machine [10:14] glebihan: it also happens on other browsers than firefox, like e.g. google-chrome [10:15] alkisg, then it's not likely that the problem comes from an update on your system, but rather from something that changed on youtube [10:15] linuxuz3r: or I guess a better question would be whether or not Blender functions well with ATI cards in Ubuntu [10:15] cannot connect to ssh server any more. username and password right. testuser also does not work. any ideas? [10:15] glebihan: I wonder why other don't have the same problem though [10:15] raj-darkmystery, your tryng to fix a mint setup? [10:15] gaelfx, im looking at the games website and its pretty much 1 video card [10:15] raven: ssh user@host -vvv [10:15] alkisg, I'd recommend trying to update your flash version [10:15] gaelfx, i dont know i got nvidia card [10:16] glebihan: manually? ok, I'll try... [10:16] raven: also see /var/log/auth.log on the remote-machine when possibile [10:16] Thanks [10:16] i hope amd updated their gfx support for linux [10:17] linuxuz3r: yeah, AMD laptops are much cheaper than Intel [10:17] alkisg, well you're on lucid, many here are on more recent versions and may not encounter the same issues (but that's just a guess) [10:17] quick question, after creating a persistence usb drive with 11.04, i get no display for 5 minutes, then finally i get screen but its not responsive, what is the problem? i did a debian usb install just fine [10:17] raj-darkmystery, are you booted in and on the desktop? [10:18] thogar: have you tried doing an actual install on the USB rather than a persistent live image? [10:18] gaelfx, yeah [10:18] Hello everyone :) , anyone can help me to install wireless driver on my sony vaio ? [10:18] iceroot, sshd[4251]: Failed password for invalid user USR from 192.168.2.2 port 54555 ssh2 [10:18] yes it worked fine on hard drive, but i cant do it that way [10:18] Hi ! [10:18] alkisg: everything is working for me [10:18] gaelfx, thats why intel has lots of commercial these days [10:18] its too much clutter with a huge drive [10:18] Thank you uabn93, most appreciated [10:19] raven: USR is the username? [10:19] glebihan, urlin2u, yes have booted but there was no windows option.. i at least can see os selection menu now :) but how i can see windows as an option as well [10:19] anyone here using google services right now? as in this very moment? (specifically google docs?) everytime i change a cell is EXTREMELY slow ... just want to see if I'm the only one [10:19] gaelfx, what system are you planning on buying? [10:19] mikeyfbi: #google [10:19] iceroot, yes its the correct name i only changed that to USR [10:19] raven: what? [10:19] linuxuz3r: Asus Eee PC 1215B [10:19] iceroot, thx [10:19] raj-darkmystery, you need to put the boot code for windows [10:19] raven: USR? and not usr? [10:20] raven: capital-letters? [10:20] iceroot, i only anonymized that [10:20] linuxuz3r, can you please guide me in that? [10:20] How do you like unity? [10:20] anyone can help me install wireless driver ? [10:20] syslq_: what does it matter ? [10:20] raven: how you created that user? because ssh says its an invalid user [10:20] syslq, never test but gome 3 is fine [10:20] thogar: well, that's probably the problem then, Is this a USB flash drive or an external USB hard disk? [10:21] flash drive [10:21] marsupio: :) yeah it is [10:21] iceroot, on installation i also checked that this user belongs to the ssh group but no change [10:21] ikonia: well I'm on kde and I'm considering changing [10:21] iceroot, but this high portnumber is strange isnt it? [10:21] syslq_: try it, see if you like it, what others like may not be what you like [10:21] gaelfx, im looking for an a series laptop [10:21] ikonia: true :) [10:21] thogar: did you try actually installing Ubuntu to the flash drive? I mean, not making it a LiveUSB, but doing a full install onto the flash drive? [10:22] raven: ssh group? [10:22] raven: no the port is ok [10:22] iceroot, yes [10:22] and xubuntu isnt half as bad [10:22] hmm how would you do that? [10:22] raven: what is a ssh-group? you added the user into the group ssh? [10:22] as i though [10:22] thought* [10:23] raj-darkmystery, did you follow the upgrade guide to the end and get rid of grub1 ? [10:23] thogar: well, if you have two USB drives, put the LiveUSB on one and install from that one to the other one. It's what I did for my computer [10:23] iceroot, yes to verify that. but such a high portnumber is used by trojany right? [10:23] raven: every user can use ssh if the user has a login-shell in /etc/passwd [10:23] raj-darkmystery, can you do: sudo fdisk /dev/hdx where x is your hard drive letter where windows is installed [10:23] i guess i could try that [10:23] raj-darkmystery, then hit p [10:23] raven: no its not used by trojan [10:23] ok [10:23] raj-darkmystery, you got grub2 now? [10:24] thogar: it tends to speed things up quite a bit, compared to the LiveUSB version [10:24] raj-darkmystery, dont do the first one that i say [10:24] raven: can you paste the ouput of "id username" from the remote-machine? [10:24] said [10:25] linuxuz3r: I just want one with a screen big enough to do some graphics work and a decent enough graphics card to handle rendering scenes [10:25] Ubuntu is cool [10:26] Hi, I run 11.04 on an older Asus notebook. Changing display brightness via Fn+F5/F6 keys works, but I'd like to have a visual indicator for it (like when changing the volume). How would I get that? [10:26] gaelfx, ok but if you are going to spend on a video card you might aswell spend around 150bucks [10:26] Also changing brightness this way is not permanent and often resets after some random time. How can I fix that? [10:26] gaelfx, go to newegg they have nice selection of radeon cards [10:26] iceroot, possible that problem is related to my try to add this machine fix to a favourite connection via "connect to server" in "places"? [10:26] wont installing ubuntu onto a usb drive wear it out faster though? [10:26] ikonia: seems like ubuntu is trying to mimic osx [10:26] I don't need a pinpoint solution, pointing me in the right direction would suffice. [10:26] gaelfx, choose the amd brand [10:26] raven: no [10:27] raven: can you use "ssh user@localhost" on the remote-machine? [10:27] Hi everyone!!! [10:27] iceroot, because the logfile says that the other machine tries to connect to the folder all the time [10:27] raven: you've had this problem for almost 12 hours now [10:28] iceroot, to other machines from that machine it works [10:28] ikonia, longer [10:28] raven: it seems you are repeating the trouble shooting from 12 hours ago [10:28] linuxuz3r: yeah, that's where I'm at now, but the Chinese version is really weird [10:28] raven: as i said, first remove the wrong groups [10:29] raven: also, can you paste the output of "sudo grep username /etc/passwd" [10:29] iceroot, but the default user has to be able to use sudo!? [10:29] raven: but that is done by the admin-group [10:29] iceroot: apologies for interupting, but this has gone on for about 12 hours that I've seen, why not just add a user correctly and delete this user ? [10:29] raven: but the wrong group i mean is the ssh group, no user has to be part of that group to use ssh [10:29] gaelfx, Asus Eee PC 1215B [10:29] whoops [10:30] Dis moi quelque chose [10:30] gaelfx, http://www.frys.com/product/6546943?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG or http://www.frys.com/product/6639964?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG [10:30] I have a desktop running Ubuntu 10.04 using a wired Internet connection. The connection has been working flawlessly for > 1year but it can no longer connect for a reason I'm unable to determine. I already tried assigning a static IP to no avail. Help? [10:30] chocobanana: go back to dhcp [10:31] chocobanana: debug from there [10:31] ikonia: its always good to know the reason of issues [10:31] iceroot, ok just a moment [10:31] ikonia: ok, which debug step do you suggest? :) [10:31] chocobanana: changing back to dhcp for starters === root is now known as Guest42789 === ubuntu_ is now known as hosein_z3 [10:32] glebihan, no actually after restart i selected normal coz there was no entry with chainload thing [10:32] gaelfx: how much space would i need on the usb drive though? [10:32] linuxuz3r: I live in China, so I need to buy from a place that can ship here [10:32] ikonia: will try, brb [10:32] Dis moi quelque chose [10:32] Hi [10:32] hi [10:32] thogar: I believe a 4GB is big enough to install, but it's better to have an 8GB [10:32] linuxuz3r, any suggestions please [10:32] gregoire: did you bring a bot? [10:32] raj-darkmystery, what grub is installed now [10:32] gaelfx: normal ubuntu needs 4.4 gb [10:32] yes [10:33] gregoire: please remove it now [10:33] just testing it [10:33] ok [10:33] sry [10:33] gregoire: thanks [10:33] iceroot, ok i removed the groups from my user [10:33] let me confirm from my side first linuxuz3r [10:33] o hai === marco is now known as Guest70066 [10:34] iceroot: ok [10:34] I'm having a problem with Update Manager that I was wondering if someone could give me any tips for [10:34] Any takers? [10:34] bitwise: you need to explain the problem [10:34] Okay [10:34] bitwise: that's like saying I'm having problem with my car, any takers" [10:35] Whenever Update Manager runs, it says that the package list hasn't been updated since I first installed [10:35] ikonia: a car is not so complex as software :) [10:35] When I click the Check button, it gives me an error: "Failed to download repository information" [10:35] W:Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch [10:35] , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [10:35] bitwise: can you paste the output of "sudo apt-get update" [10:36] bitwise: open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update" and see what repos are failing to download [10:36] !paste | bitwise [10:36] bitwise: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [10:36] iceroot: tell that to the folks at Tesla Motors [10:36] linuxuz3r, i just did upgrade-from-grub-legacy should i restart now and check if windows is there in list or if there is any way so that i can check and confirm without reboot [10:36] ikonia: back to DHCP, issue persists (if you already replied, please copy-paste answer) [10:37] linuxuz3r, it doesn't matter which grub is there, if they are on their desktop. All you have to do is purge grub grub-pc grub-common, and then reinstall grub-pc grub-common. [10:37] raj-darkmystery, grub or grub2 [10:37] Hi, what do you guys think is the best (i.e, most finger-suitable) window manager to sit over a basic install of Ubuntu? [10:37] chocobanana2: has your machine got an IP address from dhcp ? [10:37] Grey_Loki: try some, see which one you like, it's all personal taste [10:37] iceroot, ? [10:37] ikonia: won't connect at all, can't even ping [10:37] jiohdi, upgraded to grub2 from grub chainload thing.. don't hv indepth knowledge of grub thing [10:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/ [10:38] chocobanana2: that's not what I asked, please answer the question I asked, "does your machine get an IP address from dhcp" [10:38] That's what I get from sudo apt-get update [10:38] ikonia: tried plugging in another computer and it works… :S [10:38] raj-darkmystery, check your menu.lst [10:38] ikonia: no ip address received [10:38] raj-darkmystery, you can view /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see if the changes are there [10:38] grub2 does not use menu.lst [10:38] chocobanana2: ok, please do "sudo ifconfig -a" how many devices do you see ? [10:38] urlin2u, i dont know how package conflicts are resolve in ubuntu i used to have both grub and grub2 installed and it screwed my system [10:39] ikonia: I know - I thought someone with some experience of Ubuntu with a touchscreen might have better taste than I do :P [10:39] ikonia: eth0 + lo [10:39] linuxuz3r, happens, best approach is to purge both and install grub2 [10:39] chocobanana2: run "sudo dhclient eth0" [10:39] urlin2u, can you help raj-darkmystery i got to sleep [10:40] linuxuz3r, I have tried. [10:40] ikonia: ok. That keeps on sending a request but it does not seem to be using the right netmask [10:40] raj-darkmystery, are you on the desktop? [10:40] Hello, how do I check if an ssh server is running on ubuntu? [10:40] chocobanana2: that's called a broadcast, don't worry about that [10:40] segunda_hora: ssh to the server, if it responds, it is [10:40] linuxuz3r, no entries of windows in menu.lst and anyways when i did upgrade it was showing that i can remove menu* now.. jiohdi there is entry of windows vista in grub.cfg but its not coming on boot selection os [10:41] segunda_hora: pgrep sshd [10:41] the linuxuz3r thanks for help .. good night :) [10:41] ikonia: it exited with "No DHCPOFFERS received." [10:41] raj-darkmystery, not sure what you mean not coming on boot selection os? [10:41] yes urlin2u 'm on the laptop [10:41] Wow, busy in here [10:41] squaregoldfish: it returned a three digit number. [10:41] ikonia: and "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." [10:42] jiohdi, in os selection menu at startup there is no windows option coming up [10:42] segunda_hora: OK, so that's the process ID of the running ssh server. Which means you have one! [10:42] I don't mind waiting patiently, I just hope no one's forgotten my question [10:42] Ok, now: I cannot connect through Putty. I was able to connect a "few boots of the server"-ago. What could be the problem? I have tried local address and internet address [10:42] raj-darkmystery, there is the problem... you can add one using /etc/grub.d/40_custom ... make changes there and then update-grub [10:42] raven: outout of the grep command still missing [10:43] chocobanana2: ok, so there is the issue, the dhcp sever is not giving an IP - so either a.) there is a problem with the dhcpd server b.) there is a problem with your cable [10:43] raj-darkmystery, run this command and pastebin the results lsb_release -a here is the pastebin address http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [10:43] raj-darkmystery, you should be able to do update-grub and have it find windows by itself [10:43] segunda_hora: Are you getting errors, no response, or what? [10:43] chocobanana2: based on that error, there appears to be a problem with the range on the dhcp server [10:44] squaregoldfish: putty hangs for a while when I try the internet address and network connection refused on local address [10:44] jiohdi, can you please describe me how i can add the things? as I already described 'm not much comfortable with grub thing [10:44] jiohdi, he has both legacy and grub together in the middle of a grub version update [10:44] grub2 [10:44] sure urlin2u 'm rebooting the machine once as soon as it comes up 'll paste the output :) [10:44] raj-darkmystery, cool [10:44] urlin2u, I have no idea what that means other than its broke and needs to be fixed [10:45] *connection time out [10:45] jiohdi, right and I'm able to do that without guessing.;-) [10:46] ikonia: cable should be no problem since it works with other computers. As for the DHCP range… it worked before and the machine is remembered… I'm gonna try forgetting in the router configuration page to see what happens. [10:46] segunda_hora: Try restarting the server. [10:46] urlin2u, here is lsb_release http://paste.ubuntu.com/675860/ [10:46] chocobanana2: that would be the most reasonable action [10:46] squaregoldfish: physically, or by a command? [10:47] ikonia: This is what I get when I enter sudo apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/ [10:47] segunda_hora: I meant the SSH server. sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [10:47] raj-darkmystery, cool so in the terminal run this command copy and paste it. sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common [10:47] !upstart | squaregoldfish [10:47] squaregoldfish: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [10:48] raj-darkmystery, and leave the terminal open. [10:48] is that urlin2u ? purge is somewhat risky i guess :-/ [10:48] squaregoldfish: sudo service ssh restart [10:48] ok sure 'm doing urlin2u [10:48] raj-darkmystery, no, we are going to reinstall grub2 next [10:48] bitwise: remove /http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/ [10:48] bitwise: oops, sorry [10:48] bitwise: remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/ [10:49] damn it [10:49] lol [10:49] ok urlin2u did that [10:49] bitwise: delete var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_source_Sources and try again [10:49] raj-darkmystery: purge just uninstalls AND removes the config files so you can start anew [10:49] thanks gaelfx [10:49] urlin2u, next? [10:49] no prob [10:50] raj-darkmystery, now run sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common when asked where you want grub choose sda and use the space key to click it [10:50] urlin2u, it is asking if i also want to remove grub2?

[10:50] iceroot, which grep command? i posted anything via msg [10:50] urlin2u, ok [10:50] raven: also, can you paste the output of "sudo grep username /etc/passwd" [10:50] urlin2u, installing all the things u said earlier [10:50] raj-darkmystery, now run sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common when asked where you want grub choose sda and use the space key to click it [10:50] ikonia: Meant for me - I got it. [10:50] ikonia: sorry thought you were talking to me through goldfish [10:51] iceroot, ok [10:51] segunda_hora: Still not working? [10:51] urlin2u, installing... [10:51] restarting ssh with sudo service ssh restart didn't help yes [10:51] i love the channel-based command-history on irssi :) [10:51] raj-darkmystery, you have copied and pasted the puge and the install correct? [10:52] ikonia: removing the problematic machine from the DHCP client list di not help… :( [10:52] Hi all [10:52] purge [10:52] no hvnt copy pasted i typed it [10:52] chocobanana2: re-run sudo dhclient eth0 see if the error changed [10:52] K to z Polski?

[10:53] raj-darkmystery,hit tab and eb=nter [10:53] enter [10:53] its done urlin2u [10:53] ikonia: shouldn't it be using the right netmask? My router's is 255.255.255.0. dhclient is using 255.255.255.255 [10:53] ikonia: That worked perfectly, thank you so much [10:54] raj-darkmystery, now run sudo update-grub....and look if windows shows [10:54] urlin2u, ok [10:54] chocobanana2: it's not a netmask, its'a broadcast as I said earlier [10:54] bitwise no problem [10:54] urlin2u, i supposed to check in grub.cfg right? [10:55] raj-darkmystery, run sudo update-grub and see if windows shows in the terminal [10:55] Who is in Poland?

[10:55] segunda_hora: netstat -a |grep LISTEN Is anything listed for port 22? [10:56] betanick: that's not a valid ip address [10:56] raj-darkmystery, when you update grub like this it will liost the installs [10:56] list [10:56] chocobanana2: you said there is other machine working with router fine with dhcp and the connection? [10:56] ikonia: fyi: the ssh-issue was a wrongt login-shell in /etc/passwd [10:56] iceroot: duff user added then [10:57] ikonia: running ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 is the only way i can get dhcp to work [10:57] ikonia: duff? the simpsons-bear? [10:57] urlin2u, here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/675864/ [10:57] betanick: that makes no sense at all, that has nothing to do with dhcp, you're setting an invalid static ip [10:57] iceroot: duff is a uk phrase that means "broken" or "wrong" [10:57] ikonia: ah ok, thank you [10:58] urlin2u, is that ok? [10:58] raj-darkmystery, when you ran the first command was it this sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common [10:58] urlin2u, yes [10:59] ikonia: i get "No subnet declaration for wlan0 (0.0.0.0)." so i run "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" and all is good [11:00] squaregoldfish: if the numbers after "listening" or ports, then port 22 is not listed.

[11:00] betanick: your networking is messed up in a big issue [11:00] urlin2u, ok [11:00] wildbat: there one other Ubuntu computer that has no issues, though [11:01] chocobanana2: did you try switching cable with the working one?~ check if the router blocking the MAC address of your machine. [11:01] segunda_hora: Odd. Look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Near the top will be a Port entry - is that set to 22?

[11:04] hello ppl [11:04] squaregoldfish: in config, yes after the comment "what port we listen for etc." there is a Port 22 entry. In the netstats there was a tcp ... ssh ... listen entry [11:04] hello [11:05] setac i have a lil problem [11:05] pl, halp or i gona install windows or cras my laptop [11:05] i wanna give iptables a rule to block all trafic on a specific port but when i restart the pc i want to remember it [11:05] segunda_hora: Looks like a firewall issue then. Can you ssh in using localhost? [11:06] squaregoldfish: yes using the server machine (obviously?) [11:06] segunda_hora: Definitely firewall. Not my area of expertise, I'm afraid. [11:07] squaregoldfish: I haven't installed any firewalls. I appreciate that you've done all you can but any suggestions to determine if it's a virus type problem? [11:08] guys.... i wanna give iptables a rule to block all trafic on a specific port but when i restart the pc i want to remember it...how can i do that [11:08] segunda_hora: There's a firewall running by default. Its settings must have got changed somehow. Unlikely to be a virus since you'd need root access to mess with it. [11:09] squaregoldfish: Unless you've done something silly of course ;) [11:09] please can anybody halp me with install 11.04 [11:09] segunda_hora: Unless you've done something silly of course ;) [11:09] squaregoldfish: :P thanks I will see what firewall users do to run ssh [11:09] wildbat, ikonia: can't pinpoint the problem :S Will try rebooting the computer with a LiveUSB Ubuntu 11.04 to see if it's a general issue with the computer or the OS installation [11:10] micutz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo - see #saving_iptables (section 9-10-11).

[11:18] raj-darkmystery, so as of now you can't boot the mint computer? [11:19] i can boot the mint machine but no os selection menu is there.. as i want to select os from mint to windows as well [11:19] !bootinfoscript | raj-darkmystery [11:19] raj-darkmystery: To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [11:20] raj-darkmystery, how does the mint boot straight in, no menu? [11:20] urlin2u, i can boot the mint machine but no os selection menu is there.. as i want to select os from mint to windows as well [11:20] urlin2u, yes.. no menu.. straight boot === maku` is now known as maku [11:21] wildbat, ikonia: damn old computer won't read LiveUSB :S :S I guess I'll have to put this on standby until I get my hands on a blank CD [11:21] raj-darkmystery, is this what the problem was to begin with? [11:21] betanick, again that is a wrong address~ define what you mean by work or not work ~ err message etc. for others to better understand your issue. [11:21] urlin2u, yes [11:22] Upon installation Ubuntu created two extra partitions with the size of my RAM. One is for swap. Whats the other one for? [11:22] urlin2u, i want os selection menu so that i will be able to boot in linux and in windows as well [11:22] chocobanana2: oh :< one last thing to try is port swaping on router. ~ and check the lights see if singal is good. [11:22] raj-darkmystery, well the good thing is that you have grub2 only now, I'm assuming this but I think you ran the commands correct. [11:22] yes urlin2u i did as like you said.. no mistakes [11:23] raj-darkmystery in theat computer run sudo fdisk -lu and pastebin the results [11:23] how to install supervisor on karmic? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=supervisor [11:23] that [11:23] urlin2u, sure [11:24] I can pip install supervisor, but no init.d service is gonna be created [11:24] wildbat: already tried that before… to no avail. [11:24] is it enough to just copy it from other machine? [11:25] urlin2u, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675876/ [11:26] raj-darkmystery, so as I suspected the boot flag is on the extended, it should be on a ntfs partition, is that Windows 7 [11:26] urlin2u, vista [11:26] chocobanana2: too bad then ~ you can modify the grub menu and make a entry to boot ISO thou ~ good luck :> [11:27] * I\O_Error has occurred [11:27] raj-darkmystery, we can guess here and try each ntfs or run a script that will tell us I rather run the script what do you think? [11:27] urlin2u, so what can we do to make it normal as in my other machines i never saw boot flag on extended one [11:28] raj-darkmystery, the fdisk shows the flag on sda4 [11:28] I\O_Error: please stop that [11:28] urlin2u, do you have the script or if you can tell me how i can find out that? [11:29] oCean some fun :p [11:30] I\O_Error: not in this channel please [11:30] !bootinfoscript | raj-darkmystery [11:30] urlin2u, sda2 was c-drive previously [11:31] raj-darkmystery, easiest way is to run this script you will down load it, exract the desktop the run the sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh command a RESULTS.text will appear pastebin all the text from it http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [11:31] then ru* [11:31] problrm with install11.04 freeze on start any halp [11:31] raj-darkmystery, if that is confusing just ask questions. [11:32] sure urlin2u 'm downloading the script [11:33] raj-darkmystery, the script is best as I suspect the C partition is not the boot partition, as you had a recovery, maybe still do so the boot gets spread around, so the flag goes to a specific partition. [11:36] whats up chickens [11:37] hi [11:37] urlin2u, its not executing.. permission denied even as a root [11:37] please how to instal 11.04 every tme freeze on start [11:37] raj-darkmystery, where is the script?

[11:47] urlin2u, 'm nt sure but i thought its sda2 / sda3 === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [11:48] raj-darkmystery, the sda2 is marked as recovery, but has most of the boot, but missing this /bootmgr /Boot/BCD [11:48] qmr, yes, thats more than enough [11:48] qmr, presuming you have a separate /home, or not [11:48] bazhang: of course, /home and /tmp are separate [11:48] qmr, then way ample [11:49] if I can figure out how, I will have /home shared between windoze and linux, and have it truecrypted [11:49] raj-darkmystery, should be this /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe [11:49] urlin2u, so what 'm supposed to do with vista cd?

[11:55] it's no a link [11:55] apporc: what ?

[11:59] ] [11:59] raj-darkmystery, you there hold on. === gorby is now known as g0rby === pi_ is now known as pi1 [12:00] oCean: i installed lsb-core. [12:00] apporc: now try running the googleearth executable again [12:00] urlin2u, ok [12:01] oCean: yeah, bash can see that file now . can you explain the reason for me . thank you verymuch ^_^ [12:01] Hello, could some one help me setting up dual screens with an nvidia gtx 260? The monitor is detected in nvidia control pannel, but i cant enable it there or in granr etc === Bitcable-Preetam is now known as Guest81684 [12:01] apporc: I read about the reason once, but I forgot. I only remembered that this is the solution [12:02] raj-darkmystery, I think since the sda3 partition is not reading correctly, if you look at it it mentions raid or softraid and there are some other anomalies that you really need some help from the #windows channel [12:03] oCean: oh, thank you all all the same. the googleearth is really hard to install for ubuntu 64bit. now though bash see it .it still report errors/ [12:03] Could some one point me towards a faq or something for enableing dual screens with nvidia in 11.04? [12:03] raj-darkmystery, I am wondering about sda2 showing it marked as recovery it may be and sda3 is actualy C [12:03] I would like to disable a built-in webcam. Tried blacklisting the driver, but that did not work. Any other ideas? [12:03] raj-darkmystery, and sda3 is not being read, so we can't confirm that really. [12:03] Also I would like my bluetooth to be off on default. I managed to disable it by turning it off again in rc.local. Can I prevent it from turning on in the first place (with the option to turn it on any time during runtime)? [12:04] urlin2u, let me confirm that but should i flag sda2 as bootable or not? === Jocke is now known as megamini [12:04] raj-darkmystery, not at the moment, on the #windows channel they use this script and they should look at it and help you get sda3 showing really. [12:05] raj-darkmystery, I'm not pushing you off but making sure this is done correctly, the sda3 showing errors is a needed fix. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [12:06] raj-darkmystery, sda3 may just need a chldsk is all [12:06] chkdsk [12:07] Hello, could some one help me setting up dual screens with an nvidia gtx 260? The monitor is detected in nvidia control pannel, but i cant enable it there or in granr etc [12:07] urlin2u, so i need to consult with #windows channel... and what do you think is it ok if i run chkdsk on sda3 from mint machine? [12:07] Hi guys , i have an unusual problem . I am using a usb modem. sometimes i can get connected to internet via wvdial script, sometimes it fails. Can someone tell me what to do ? [12:08] g0rby: tried going into monitors and changing it from there? [12:08] How does this "encrypt my home folder" business work? [12:09] Teotw: Only one monitor is detected there, the only place i see it mentioned is in nvidia control pannel. The weird thing is, if i disable the nvidia binary driver, dual screens works with whatever the default driver is [12:09] raj-darkmystery, you would have to have the bootflag on sda3 and run the chkdsk /f/r from the live vista disc booted to the recovery terminal, it will ask you if you want it run on a restart, but you need the MS boot in the mbr as well. [12:09] raj-darkmystery not live vista but vista disc [12:09] g0rby: sounds like a driver issue. Are there any other options for your nvidia driver when you go select which driver? [12:10] g0rby: i use two monitors at present too . but my card is ATI [12:10] gr0by: if your card is ATI, you shouldnt have an nvidia driver! [12:10] raj-darkmystery, in other words this is fixable I think but I really think the help there in this part is better. [12:10] Teotw: yeah, there is some other driver available, but its only listed when the nvidia one is removed [12:11] teotw: is was called "experimental driver" or something [12:11] it* [12:11] Hrm. I can't get Ubuntu live iso 11.04 to boot off of this usb stick on a new HP Mini Netbook. It boots, flashes something like SYSLINUX (version number, other info, not an error message as far as I can tell) and then goes to a black screen with a blinking prompt cursor on it and nothing else. Can someone up? [12:11] help* [12:11] g0rby: if your card is ATI, why do you have an nvidia driver? you shouldnt need it. [12:11] Teotw: i dont, apporc does. [12:11] ok urlin2u thanks for sorting this out... i will try to check with windows channel as well thanks a lot :) [12:11] Dunas: md5sum the iso [12:12] Teotw: i have a nv gtx 260 [12:12] raj-darkmystery, no problem save that script, and show it to them. [12:12] Dunas: I had that same problem trying to install linux on an ancient laptop of mine. I think it wouldnt allow live usb, try getting a cd and doing that. [12:12] ok urlin2u have posted this in windows channel but no response yet [12:12] Dunas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [12:12] raj-darkmystery, you will have to reload grub to the mbr when windows is fixed, just so yoiu know, it's pretty easy as well. [12:12] g0rby: interesting...did you have this problem always or has it only just occured? [12:13] Dunas: Test memory (run memtest) [12:13] Teotw: in 10.04 it worked fine [12:13] Teotw: and ive tried different releases of this nv-glx but the issue is persistant [12:13] g0rby: well thats odd! umm...hm. try booting a livecd/usb of natty and seeing if it works in that - it might be an update problem or something.. [12:14] usr13, good call, looks like it corrupted. [12:14] Teotw: gonna give the other 'experimental' driver a go [12:14] g0rby: good luck! [12:14] Dunas: lucky guess :P [12:14] raj-darkmystery, cool man I have to crash it is 5:14 am here, thanks for you keeping up and pushing through.;-) [12:15] Teotw: It must be some issue with the nv dirver tho, since dual screens works fine when i remove the hardware drivers [12:15] thanks to you urlin2u for helping me out in understanding this [12:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome qmr [12:15] hey urlin2u .. how i can add you in frnds list here? [12:15] raj-darkmystery, certainly. [12:16] g0rby: true. try experimental then, usually theyre not *too* buggy.. [12:16] usr13, hope that was all it was, I'd hate to be stuck with Win7Starter on this little thing. :P [12:16] raj-darkmystery, not sure how that works though. [12:16] urlin2u, lolz [12:16] anyways have good sleep urlin2u [12:16] raj-darkmystery, just stop by and join the fun.;-) [12:17] sure urlin2u ! have good sleep [12:17] Dunas: check you ISO against md5sum yet? [12:18] oops scroll stucked nevermind:> [12:19] wildbat, :) [12:20] how can i get this package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/aufs-tools [12:20] aptitude does not find anything named aufs [12:21] adante: are you using lucid? [12:21] !info aufs-tools [12:22] Package aufs-tools does not exist in natty [12:22] jrib: i am using natty [12:22] jrib: i notice it says superseded. is there a way i can tell what it has bee nsuperseded by [12:22] is it worth to upgrade from lucid to natty ? [12:22] or generally speaking, how do i go about finding out the status of aufs on my system? [12:23] TL1: do you like what you're using now? [12:24] yeats: yes ,but i like a theme change [12:24] TL1: I would run it with a liveCD for a while and see what I liked before upgrading [12:24] adante: looks like the package was ftbs, try rebuilding it yourself [12:25] TL1: the changes between default Lucid and default Natty are not trivial ;-) [12:25] adante: you can see relevant bug reports at bugs.ubuntu.com [12:25] TL1: you can try liveCD natty , but unity have many problems ~ personally i don't like it . [12:25] jrib: i don't follow, i know 'ftbs' as slang but i'm not sure if makes sense in this context. can you say differently? [12:25] can unity run well in vm's [12:25] adante: fails to build from source [12:26] jrib: i see, is this what superseded generally means? [12:26] adante: no [12:26] jrib: and out of curiousity how did you find that out, just so i know for myself in the future [12:26] TL1:it don't run well in a real machine :p [12:27] wildbat: LOL 8-) [12:27] Can anyone help me get a wifi card to authenticate to a wpa network with wpa_supplicant? [12:27] adante: there are bugs at bugs.ubuntu.com for the package (that's how I found out). To check, I: apt-get source aufs-tools; sudo apt-get build-dep aufs-tools; cd aufs-tools*; dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot # then notice it doesn't build [12:27] Argh, new iso isn't solving the issue. Same problem as before. [12:28] TL1: if you decided to upgrade, you can run in Ubuntu Classic mode if you don't like Unity - it's default GNOME2 [12:28] * yeats runs in classic mode [12:28] jrib: impressive - thanks for your help [12:29] anyway it is better to keep receiving the LTS updates [12:29] for years [12:29] adante: I don't know if any of the bug comments have a workaround. If not, fix yourself or see if it's fixed in oneiric [12:29] adante: there are unionfs-fuse , they are similar ~ you may wanna have a look. [12:29] TL1: sounds like you've made a decision ;-) [12:30] yeats: I'm saving on my downloads :p [12:30] Hrm. I can't get Ubuntu live iso 11.04 to boot off of this usb stick on a new HP Mini Netbook. It boots, flashes something like SYSLINUX (version number, other info, not an error message as far as I can tell) and then goes to a black screen with a blinking prompt cursor on it and nothing else, ISO md5 checks out. Can anyone help? [12:31] Dunas: how you build it? may be try different method. [12:31] !usb > Dunas [12:31] Dunas, please see my private message [12:32] Dunas: you md5sum-ed the image? did you verify the disk image when starting it up? (might have to press something to get to the startup menu) [12:33] Blackbuntu is awesome!!! === pi_ is now known as pi1 [12:34] Oppss wrong channel :) [12:34] hi, can anyone help me set up tor on ubuntu [12:35] !tor | pi1 [12:35] pi1: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [12:36] yeats: however not on uptime [12:37] I've tried LiLo, Universal USB Installer, unetbootin, and win32diskimager. None of them seem to do anything- if I use diskimager it just doesn't load at all. [12:38] Dunas: try YUMI [12:38] wildbat: thanks, was hoping to use aufs but i think this will do [12:39] is there a way i can tell what sort of mount -t filesystems are supported by my system? [12:40] Dunas: if you're sure you want to install, you could try the alternate installer [12:41] !alternate | Dunas [12:41] Dunas: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [12:42] Dunas: be warned though, there appears to be a bug in the 64-bit version that prevents installation of a full desktop (though you can install a basic system and run 'sudo tasksel' once installed) [12:44] Hi all! Does ubuntu have lvm built in, or does it need to be loaded? [12:44] yeats: I'll give it a shot. I don't think I need the 64-bit version for an Atom-based netbook, do I? [12:47] dunas: netbooks are usually not 64 bit. === ubuntu_ is now known as JoeR1 [12:48] Dunas: no you wouldn't use 64-bit for that [12:49] dnivra: it's built in [12:49] hello everyone [12:53] how do I shrink my main partition? [12:54] 1 1049kB 249GB 249GB primary ext4 boot [12:54] I want to shrink that to 20G [12:56] Anybody here know a good way to burn Xbox 360 iso files in Ubuntu? [12:57] I'm getting an error trying to fire up a wine app. What's the best way to "Install the Windows version of Mono" as I'm being directed to do when launching this app fails? [12:57] Enari: boot live CD to do that ~ you will also need to do boot repair from there too [12:57] Hiyas all [12:57] zteam: burn them as in windows using wine. [12:58] wildbat: uh, so windows can do that but ubuntu can't? o.O [12:58] Im disappointed [12:58] but thanks wildbat ;) [12:58] craig_: is it an exe or msi file? [12:58] Enari: i don't know windows can resize C: now XD [12:59] Teotw, it's an exe, and I just got a little farther by typing in mono app.exe instead of wine app.exe. Duh... I didn't realize that's how things worked. This is weird, having quit windows years ago, to be having to run windows apps... [13:01] TL1, okey, will try that [13:01] TL1, :-) [13:02] TL1, but it seems a little strange that there is no easy way to this without wine [13:02] craig_: i hear winetricks is good for installing mono. ill check for a tutorial on it [13:02] I just switched on my laptop lenovo b560 with ubuntu 10 and both mouse and keybord are stuck. Any hint? [13:02] After several upgrades unity does not start, I get the old gnome interface? [13:03] motz does your keyboard work in the bios? [13:03] craig_:try going here: http://www.zubinbharucha.com/2011/04/installing-windows-version-of-mono-to.html , assuming you want to install the windows version. [13:04] stimpie, no, I can't enter the bios because the key f2 doesn't react [13:04] craig_: hope the link helped. [13:04] motz that sounds like a hardware error [13:05] stimpie, maybe, so what should I do? [13:06] zteam: there is a lot of burners i'm sure in open-source world but do you want to test them all ? [13:07] zteam: you know open-sourcers don't care about ms products even the xbox360 [13:07] TL1, I tried with K3b used setting that should work but it didn't [13:08] 360's nice if you don't have a gaming computer 8) [13:08] ztem: try this, http://biodegradablegeek.com/2009/03/burning-xbox-360-games-on-linux-stealth/ [13:08] zteam: if you have an hdd you can load them directly from it (for modded xbox) [13:09] zteam: i mean a usb one [13:09] TL1, no I don't :-) [13:09] zteam: i read about that once (but ill just shut up for not to go off-topic) [13:10] ;) [13:10] this unity thing is very half baked [13:10] shouldn't be default UI [13:10] zteam: try this, http://biodegradablegeek.com/2009/03/burning-xbox-360-games-on-linux-stealth/ (whoops spelt your name wrong first time) [13:11] qmr: don't use it then [13:11] qmr: true dat. [13:11] !classic | qmr [13:11] qmr: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [13:11] I can't even shut down the machine [13:11] qmr: default in Linux meas very little, as the OS is so very customizable [13:11] DasEi: I know how to manage packages, thanks. [13:11] qmr: not even with halt in the terminal? [13:11] qmr: top right should let you shutdown there [13:12] Teotw: I know I can do init 6, shutdown, reboot, or whatever, I'm saying there is no way to get out of the gui, and this is going to be confusing for a luser [13:12] qmr: if you want the desktop to look like maverick, simply log off and select Ubuntu Classic at the login screen, from Oneiric onwards, Unity-2D replaces Ubuntu CLassic [13:12] ActionParsnip: yea, it only had "suspend", but now it does nothing when I click there [13:12] I didn't test unity yet but i have started to hate it already (LOL seems people are united by that) [13:13] TL1: I can take it or leave it, I use LXDE personally :) [13:13] qmr: which release are you using? [13:13] TL1: well, it's got some nice / smart things, but it's not ripe at all [13:13] something wrong with my vim. Taglist: Exuberant ctags (http://ctags.sf.net) not found in PATH. Plugin is not loaded. what's the problem. what should I do to solute it? [13:13] ActionParsnip: I have no idea. whatever current is as of like 3 hrs ago when I DL'd it [13:13] villa: ask #vim [13:14] qmr: lsb_release -c will tell you [13:14] guys there are extremely helpful [13:14] thanks qmr [13:14] I'm using ubuntu10.10 when I type TAB-TAB in bash shell ,the screen will Darken. now I know that were's compiz setting ,but I don't find where to change it ,i find it long time ..,who know where to change it ,TKS [13:15] gdzhang: that is compiz showing the app is hanging, hitting TAB twice with no text entered will list ALL the possible commands, so its half understandable [13:16] Hey, VMware player can't install because it can't build and install a kernel module === chris_ is now known as Guest36610 [13:16] !vmware | anadon [13:16] anadon: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [13:16] anadon: try virtualbox instead.

Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [13:26] Teotw, yes, but maybe it needed the full path [13:26] gdzhang: I think theres a bit named 'crash' search for it. I've not used compiz in a good while [13:26] Teotw, trying with imgburn now [13:26] Upon installation Ubuntu created two partitions the size of my ram. One is for swap. Whats the other one for? [13:26] zteam: burn SLOWLY [13:26] Lafiir: where does it get mounted? [13:26] zteam: sometimes it needs full path, yes. [13:26] Lafiir: you will have swap and / [13:27] Lafiir: / is for system files, swap is like the page file in Windows [13:27] zteam: and yes, as ActionParsnip said, burn SLOWLY, and also a simulation before you do it never hurt anyone. [13:27] Lafiir: I think you talk about the extended part, that's a virtual partition for lvm [13:27] ActionParsnip: thx for your Suggest. i'll find for sm crash [13:28] Hi, I'm running ubuntu 11.04 on an zotax nd-22 nvidia ion chip computer. For some reason hardware acceleration of flash in the browser does not seem to work, I have the latest nvidia driver, and the adobe-check-box hardware-acceleration is checked, but it does not seem to use the GPU as my cpu is up around 99%. (btw additional drivers say nvidia ~activated but not in use)) [13:28] hi all. can someone tell why when I try to edit with nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf it shows a blank file ? [13:28] DasEi: well, its an extended partition /dev/sda2 and i don't think its mounted anywhere [13:28] so I just imaged my stuff to a new hard disk, and now after I login to windows, I'm immediately logged off. what's up with that?? === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [13:29] ActionParsnip: yes. I have / and swap. and one more the size if swap which doesn't seem to do anything [13:29] nailox: you're trying to open the file as a user who doesn't have permission to open it probably? [13:29] nailox: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903386 [13:30] Lafiir: this is no "real" partition, it's a way to make it possible to have more than just 4 partitions on the disk, it takes no space, also, that's just your swap in there [13:30] Anyone managed to get flash hardware-acceleration working for ION on ubuntu 11.04? [13:30] Teotw, will do :-) [13:31] ActionParsnip i tried with sudo its the same :S [13:31] Lafiir: you can only have 4 primary part. in a disk, but in an extended you can have lots of more partitions [13:32] DasEi: ah ok. I added each capacities up and your right. thanks [13:32] Lafir: But you cant put windows in an extended partition. it will only allow itself to be put in a primary partition, afaik.

[13:46] Teotw, it's a netbook, I don't have a USB CD drive [13:46] Dunas: however, i have a cunning plan. Ok, not really, but you can install ubuntu without a cd / usb / dvd -- wubi.

[13:55] ActionParsnip, that didnt work.. [13:55] ActionParsnip, as it comes out of the BIOS boot sequence and tries to load from the USB stick, it flashes SYSLINUX version information and details about the program, and then goes to a black screen with a flashing _ cursor, not to the Ubuntu live boot menu where I could set boot options. [13:56] Dunas: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [13:57] How can I read an extern HPFS/NTFS file-system ? [13:57] E3D3: nautilus can do that already [13:57] E3D3: plug it in and click on it [13:57] Dunas: can you hit a key right after the SYSLINUX message? or does it *immediately* go to the black screen with cursor (menu does not appear by default) [13:57] I'm using Dolpin & never tried with Nautilus. Will try it immediatly. Thanks [13:57] anyone knows a fix for this problem, when i use 3 slashes file:/// i can open the fike i want to but not with 2 slashes [13:58] E3D3: dolphin can do it too [13:58] bbnnmm: what? [13:58] bbnnmm: using which program? [13:58] E3D3: installing nautilus will pull in a TONNE of gtk deps and bloat your OS [13:58] android [13:58] bbnnmm: android is an OS, not an app [13:58] bbnnmm: three slashes is correct [13:58] !info android [13:59] Package android does not exist in natty [13:59] i know [13:59] bbnnmm: so how is it related to Ubuntu? [13:59] i mean the dolphin too on android [13:59] file:// is the protocol, and the third slash makes it an absolute path [13:59] no other way to do it my friend [13:59] its not i think it has to do with linux [13:59] bbnnmm: so you want to access the files in your Android device via Dolphin? [13:59] and u r the linux msters [13:59] God day everyone. How can I connect a Apple bluetooth Magic Mouse in 11.04?

[14:01] is there a way to edit path or something so that i dont need for the third slash [14:01] bbnnmm: are you using ubuntu ? [14:01] the third slash is an incorrect path [14:01] Drgrov: use 0000 [14:01] bbnnmm: your android device should ask if you want to mount the storage, you need to select this and it will then be seen as a simple USB hard drive.Remember to safetly remove the storage whe you are done [14:01] i mean without the third slash [14:01] not ubuntu i have ubuntu on my box but asking about android === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [14:02] E3D3: does: sudo fdisk -l show the partition?

[16:19] help [16:19] Abhijit: better install from repo [16:19] !flash [16:19] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:19] DasEi, i dont think 64 bit version is in repo [16:20] in my system ubuntu 10.10 the .so file is in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [16:21] Abhijit, i got prgram called flashaid...i think it dls and installs for you...had loadsa trouble with 64 flash [16:21] Abhijit: tried flashplugin-nonfree ? [16:21] kingofswords, okay [16:22] DasEi, actually 32 bit flash is already installed. now it needs to be upgraded so i thought to get 64 bit version [16:22] Abhijit: I had no problem installing ubuntu-restricted-extras which brought flash64 fine to me [16:22] DasEi, ok [16:23] photon: got an answer ? [16:23] DasEi: no [16:24] photon: on todays updated lucid : 2.6.32.25 [16:24] DasEi: and you got 10.04.3? [16:25] photon: latest update [16:25] DasEi: thanks. === zombuntu is now known as dropmouse [16:26] photon: that's default, you can compile others if you want [16:27] DasEi: yeah, I installed linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty to get a newer kernel, but it broke my nvidia drivers and some other stuff. [16:27] DasEi: no idea why. [16:28] How do I set a custom configuration for gcc? [16:28] anadon: if you can't find help here, maybe try #gcc ? [16:29] photon: might be nouveau driver, mostly safer to compile and use the old config of a working kernel, sometimes drivers have to be reinstalled (stuff moved from modular to kernel-level) [16:31] evening all, anyone know if its possible for the screensaver to work when i have music playing [16:31] kingofswords: I'm not sure if I got you right, you "deleted" a file you now want back ? [16:31] at the moment if i have music playing it dosnt get classed as idol [16:32] DasEi, nah i deletd a 8 gb file from xp partition yesterday using ubuntu file browser [16:32] StaticPhilly: you're using Totem? [16:32] StaticPhilly: there's a disable screensaver option in the preferences. [16:32] StaticPhilly: I can do so, screensaver-command --lock (If syntax is right) [16:32] DasEi: I tried reinstalling, but it gives an error when compiling :/ [16:33] DasEi, i couldnt see it in wastebasket and windows partition didnt increase 8gb either but ive found it now [16:33] kingofswords: aah, different partition then homefolder, well look into trash from ubuntu then, ah you found it (: [16:33] photon: yes im using totem, will give that a try now [16:33] yeh i think reboot may have sorted...or i might be blind [16:34] DasEi: will give that ago if i cant get it working via prefrences [16:34] StaticPhilly: nickmiss ? [16:34] ah, screensaver, my fault [16:34] :) [16:35] StaticPhilly: also I can use my lockbutton, but I'm on gnome, not sure for unity [16:35] if I want some shell commands to run for each user … what file can I add them to? obviously ~/.bashrc won't do the job [16:37] StaticPhilly: xscreensaver-command -lock , I looked it up, maybe gotta install it first [16:38] how do i remove ubuntu from a dual boot with win7 and regain the HD space for my main partition? [16:38] DasEi: thanks will look into that one, so when you hit your lock key it activates the screensaver? [16:38] imanc: You mean, you want to have bash script which can be run by any user? [16:38] StaticPhilly: yes [16:39] DasEi: thanks will have a play with that [16:39] culpn8r: simply format from windows to ntfs [16:39] qin - i basically want export WORKON_HOME=/var/www/vhosts/virtualenvs to be the same for each user [16:39] [16:40] dasei, from windows disk management i just format the ubuntu partition? how do i remove grub [16:40] culpn8r: ask in #windows about fixmbr [16:41] culpn8r: you should be able to do a repair to replace the grub mbr [16:41] imanc: /etc/profile and export your variable there [16:41] culpn8r: ##windows it is [16:42] imanc: But ~/.bashrc should work too. [16:42] qin - yes, only issue i'd have wiht .bashrc is that if a user logs into the server, they'd have to configure their bashrc also [16:43] etc/profile seems like the winner [16:46] hi [16:46] i have a problem with picasa [16:47] i have just install ubuntu 11.04 [16:47] after i clicking the picasa icon, is nothing come out [16:47] does anyone know why the resize partition option would not show up in the ubuntu install menu [16:48] what is the problem [16:48] voxcroix: How did you install picassa?

Even the security repo [17:07] qin: yes. Even the security repo [17:08] Hi [17:08] ? [17:08] ! [17:10] anadon: Do you have any repositories which work, or better can you pastebin: sudo apt-get update [17:10] hi, I would like to send ctrl-r to chromium browser remotely to speed up development.. how can I do that? [17:11] hello [17:13] Rainy-day: have you tried http://freshmeat.net/projects/xautomation/ [17:13] SIFTU: thanks, will look at that [17:13] Rainy-day: you could do it over ssh to a remote machine [17:13] i was wondering what is the easiest way to remove ubuntu from a computer and keep windows. reason why is my nephew installed ubuntu on his laptop and used the live cd install option instead of the WUBI installer. I would guess boot a gparted disc, remove all linux partitions, and then use a windows cd to repair bootloader ? === aaasd_ is now known as aaas [17:15] lwizardl: Yes. Installator (>= vista ) have feature to fix it. [17:16] so the vista/seven disc what ever his laptop had. would repair the boot loader if he had the disc for it [17:17] Are there any kind of battery management tools for ubuntu? [17:17] hi is linux-swap the same as virtuak memory in windows? [17:17] hi everybody! I'm all new (on both Ubuntu and freenode) [17:17] kingofswords: yes, a paging file [17:18] SIFTU, so is it possible to get rid of the swap file as i have 4gbram? [17:18] qin: http://pastebin.com/K9UEsnxJ [17:18] i know you can do in windows somehow [17:18] lwizardl: It should, but /join #windows may help to highlight and dangers of the process, imho your netphew make one mistake, left M$ on the hard drive. [17:18] kingofswords: yeah you can run without a swap.. but basically it shoudlnt be using so no reason not to have it.. try "free -m" to see how much is being used [17:18] I can get about 4-5 hours of battery life on my 9 cell battery. It isn't bad but I would like the best I could get if possible [17:18] *any [17:19] kingofswords: How big is your HDD? [17:19] qin, I think he made 2 mistakes in my opinion. 1) left windows on the machine, 2) wants to remove linux and go back to windows only. [17:19] SIFTU, system monitor says nones used.....i only have 128gb hdd so wondered if i could use the swap? [17:20] kingofswords: You should not get rid of both Windows' virtual memory and Linux's swap partition [17:20] AglarEdain, how come? [17:20] kingofswords: I wouldn't completely get rid of swap, but you could make it smaller [17:20] anadon: Please /join #ubuntu+1 since you asking question about beta, removing/editing (after backup) /etc/apt/source.list may be a key. [17:21] mukti, in gparted its on a different partittin i think [17:21] kingofswords: http://techie-buzz.com/foss/ubuntu-enable-disable-swap-partition.html [17:22] lwizardl: I think there is also free to download resque disk for 7, dont know link tho. Yeah boy seems to be making wrong choices. [17:23] SIFTU, thx [17:23] qin, I have been a desktop linux only user for about 4 years now and could not be happier. but he likes to play windows games on his system. and said that wine/cedega didn't play them right. so his loss really [17:24] Are there any tools that are more advanced than the power management tool? [17:24] lwizardl: then he is making the right choice === root is now known as Guest607 [17:25] hi [17:25] is it possible to install somthing on windows partition from within ubuntu? i dont have much space in windows to copy over [17:25] So guys, I have 2 70GB harddrives one of which has Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and now I decided I want to install Windows 7 on the 2nd one, When I install Windows 7 on the 2nd one won't this mess with the MBR? and if so, how hard is it to add Ubuntu 10.10 back on???? [17:25] mukti: http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/ [17:26] flametai1: Every time I've seen someone do that, W7 stamps all over the hard drives. You'll need to reinstall grub afterwards [17:26] You know, because Microsoft are obviously the center of the universe and the ONLY OS for you... [17:26] computerx, is it hard to do it? lol [17:27] And of course! You know Windows 7 is obviously the only OS, although Linux is so much better. [17:27] I'm afraid I don't know. I make a point of not dirtying my PC with that stuff. It'll involve a live CD though [17:27] flametai1: one way is to deactivated the ubuntu drive, then install Win7 ~ [17:27] computerx, I don't really want to do it either but I have no other choice then to for gaming.... =/ [17:28] flametai1, its easy ...im a linux newbie and done it more than 20 times.... [17:28] I found World of Warcraft ... acceptable in Wine [17:28] flametai1: or you wanna install win7 then boot back the liveCD to fix the mbr of grub. [17:28] SIFTU: it doesn't work.. it does alt-tab but does not do ctrl-r and does not do 2nd alt-tab, even though the commands are exactly the same as for first alt-tab.... [17:28] hola [17:28] hola [17:28] computerx: flametai1: I'll soon have the same problem. I need a Windows for my work. :( [17:29] AglarEdain: dual boot or VBOX :> [17:29] Anyone know how I can enable multiple wireless interfaces to be connected simultaneously. I have wlan0 (broadcom 4318) and a wlan1 (realtek 8192CU) bot work independently. But if I connect wlan0 via wicd-client or dhclient and iwconfig, then connect to a subsequent network on the other interface, my browser cannot resolve any addresses, even though both are still connected to the ap. [17:29] wildbat, so if I just unplug the linux hard drive Windows 7 will install on the only harddrive plugged in, and plug the Linux one back in and Grub will pick up Windows 7 AND Ubuntu with out any MBR modification? [17:29] SIFTU: have you used laptop mode before? [17:29] Rainy-day: it is possible to get working.. I know people who write whole test scripts with it [17:29] mukti: sure [17:29] wildbat: dual boot i will be [17:30] What kind of laptop? I saw that some thinkpads have trouble with it (which is what I am using) [17:30] SIFTU: do you have experience with it, is it ok if I msg you the cmd I'm using? [17:30] Hi all. Running: /mnt/usb/boot/grub$ sudo grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/usb /dev/sdg Gives the following error: The file /mnt/usb/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. Is this fatal? How can I fix it? [17:30] flametai1: not on the first boot ~ boot ubuntu then do update-grub and it will be dual bootable [17:30] Rainy-day: I do not.. sorry [17:30] SIFTU: What kind of laptop? I saw that some thinkpads have trouble with it (which is what I am using) [17:30] SIFTU: np, thanks for help though [17:30] mukti: I have a dell xps 15, laptop-mode tools is completely configureable [17:31] wildbat, I'll be back then I suppose. I shall attempt this. Wish me luck :D [17:31] SIFTU: Okay, I'll just have to try it out. Thanks! [17:31] Rainy-day: you could also try http://linux.die.net/man/8/xsendkeycode [17:31] SIFTU, is that the xps m1330? [17:32] kingofswords: no XPS 15 (l502x) [17:32] so i have a remote ubuntu 11 system running the openbox gui and my desktop here is a mac.

[17:35] I just installed ubuntu last night, this morning i did an external scan and port 23 was open? [17:35] wildbat: on a USB but can i not do it whilst installing or do i have to create the partition first? [17:35] SIFTU: xte command [17:35] thanks [17:36] I also had alreasdy enabled the firewall and have only created one allow rule for 22 (ssh)? [17:36] Raweed: i perfer to do partition manually frist and install after a fresh reboot ~ minimize some error. [17:36] * zaidwaqi wonders if anyone sees him === zaidwaqi is now known as idazuwaika [17:37] * wildbat thinks idazuwaika is playing hide and seek. [17:38] wildbat:did not know that, ok how do i use gparted im up have my ext hdd selected how do i patition ? [17:38] to format usb stick in ntfs do i use disk utility program? [17:38] dropmouse: ~ telnet is disable by default. you can do test connection to it no? [17:39] kingofswords: you can. [17:39] wildbat, if i right click it only gives ext3/4 and fat option [17:40] grep is not working [17:40] as in i am searching for something i know that is there and it is not coming up [17:40] is it possible to use the PS_ [17:40] español? [17:41] is it possible to use the PS-EYE in Ubuntu ? [17:41] si yo [17:41] dylan como va [17:41] wildbat: lemme check [17:41] kingofswords: that's strange ~ i have NTFS and XFS brtfs ..... etc.... [17:41] hmm [17:41] bah, mirando Ubuntu, que por ahora no tengo arch :P [17:41] por fin tengo estabilidad y bajo consumo de bateriA [17:41] ME ISNTALE [17:41] xubuntu 64 bits [17:42] kingofswords: do you have ntfsprogs installed? [17:43] nah not unless its part of install [17:43] neri, /join #ubuntu-es [17:43] I'm used to install extra OS's with their own swap partition but heard its better/faster to use one swap for all. Is that true & should it be placed in the middle of the harddisk ? [17:43] weird. if i scan my external IP 22 is open, but it's not fwd'd to this machine, also if i nmap localhost it doesn't show up- so it must be another machine or the router? [17:43] Raweed: that tool is pretty easy to figure out not ? just right clicks new partition ~ or delete resize ..... [17:44] wildcat: so it's not this Ubuntu machine, i'll go ask #networking [17:44] wildbat, yeh do have ntfsprogs [17:44] wildbat : sorry never partitioned before, ntfs right? [17:45] is there a way to add a network monitor to the top bar without adding the indicator plugin? [17:45] kingofswords: it should be by default .... thou you can't , try install gparted and do it there then unless you wanna do it the cli way [17:45] Raweed: no~ ubuntu default is ext4 [17:46] wildbat, wont let me do it in gparted either [17:46] hi :-) I'm just installing ubuntu 11.04 from a CD, and have chosen to have bootloader installed in /dev/sda3 (cause there was no option to not install a bootloader). It popped up an error during installation saying it can't install grub on /dev/sda3. Then it showed a window asking how I would like to proceed. I've tried selecting "continue without bootloader" (what I'd like most), as well as installing on /dev/sda (as I have a backup), but clicking O [17:46] cli way sounds good [17:46] wildbat: ok thanks, cos it was ntfs before. changed to ex4, should i partition at the front or back or does that not matter? [17:46] I've pressed OK like 10 times now and the dialog doesn't go away [17:46] Raweed: you will need 3 parititon ~15-30 GiB for / , RAM x1/2 for swap , the rest /home [17:47] E3D3: yes you can use 1 swap for all [17:47] Raweed: do you have windows / DATA in the drive changing it will LOSE all the DATA [17:47] wildcat its ok ill reboot to windows and do there [17:48] SIFTU: Are there some tricks I have to be carefull for ? [17:48] wildbat: no its a clean ext hdd, theres nothing on there apart from a pdf i think which isnt important. i have managed 200gb unallocated space on it so now 3 partitions on that? [17:48] how do I list the currently running daemons ? [17:49] somehow, my machine is running a http server that I never set upo? [17:49] I'm kinda stuck in the installation now and not sure what to do :-< [17:49] Raweed: yes ~ [17:49] dropmouse, netstat -lpn [17:49] wildbat: thanks how big do each of them need to be? [17:49] dropmouse, (as root) [17:49] wildbat: should i leave any free space between the [17:49] them* [17:50] Hi can anyone suggest if nvidia optimus cards gt-540m are supported on ubuntu? [17:50] Raweed: don't have to.

[18:09] I don't know what gnome's equivalent is [18:09] intelinside2020: you will be able to shrink the ext4 and expand the existing NTFS, or destroy the ext4 and expand the NTFS [18:09] wildbat, do i sudo mkfs.ntfs -v /dev/sdb1 [18:09] ? [18:09] BarkingFish: both can use software centre afaik [18:09] intelinside2020: it will not convert filesystems [18:09] BarkingFish found it now , but it will require to install kde packages :D i'll serach for equivalents [18:10] <[THC]AcidRain> kingofswords, what file system are you trying to create? [18:10] OK A[D]minS - It's easier if you keep your system pure :) [18:10] owen1: I say give it another go.. else the vmware option [18:10] ntfs [18:10] kingofswords: mkfs.ntfs -F -v /dev/sdb1 [18:10] <[THC]AcidRain> oh ntfs obviously [18:10] SIFTU: it wont create any prob in the boot as grub is my default loader [18:10] ok thx [18:10] BarkingFish: ya but frankly its really weird for being with a usb mouse [18:10] is there another network manager besides wicd and indicator applet that will handle wireless? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [18:11] hylian: wifi-radar [18:11] wildbatCould not open /dev/sdb1: Permission denied.

[18:11] SIFTU: I hope that my distro's graphical installation will coorperate. Thanks for the warnings. [18:11] ActionParsnip, i will try that. wicd will not see my hardware correctly. [18:11] Good luck [18:11] E3D3: it will, you will have to manually partition is hte installs [18:12] hylian: then you dont have the firmware or drivers installed [18:12] BarkingFish, wicd see's the connection, i give it all the same info as indicator applet, but it can never connect, where indicator applet can. (and I absolutely hate indicator applet) [18:12] hylian: then you need to configure the OS, the GUI app configuring the device won't make it any different [18:12] wildbat, ah yeh....hehe seems to be going now thx [18:13] ActionParsnip, actually it does, i just don't know why, for instance, indicator applet can connect, wicd cannot. exact same information, exact same password, still nada. [18:13] hylian, I have that problem if I use the wrong wpa supplicant, but with wext it's fine. It always connects Unsecured and WEP though first time [18:13] thank u all for the help :) [18:13] wicd uses wpa_supplicant [18:14] BarkingFish, the problem is I do not have any control over that. so what the problem must be is wicd doesn't correctly realize the proper protocol settings, but indicator applet does. [18:14] kingofswords: that's strange ~ didn't you failed with -F before :p thru don't thanks yet wait till it work :> [18:14] hylian, You do have control over that. [18:14] Open wicd, click preferences and hit the External Programs tab [18:14] wildbat, i put lower case -f does that make differnce? [18:15] the very first drop down gives you a choice of your wpa supplicant - mine are wext, nl80211 or ralink_legacy [18:15] what does -v ? displays a readable output? [18:15] hylian: what is your output of "lspci|grep -i net" [18:15] BarkingFish, i mean over the wireless broadband router. it's set permanently by the cell phone company i get net through, so no, i cannot change it. wish i could though...

[18:56] Hi, I'm having some trouble with very slow DNS responses, it's the same in all browsers. Pining my default dns server works ok with short response times, IPv6 is disabled. What more can I do? [18:56] bonhoffer: simple patterns just grep. Advanced patterns, grep -E [18:57] scarleo_: what DNSs are you using? [18:57] Kyle__: thanks [18:57] bonhoffer: grep -E "[Tt]he end.$" [18:57] scarleo_: Have you tried a different DNS server, like 8.8.8.8? [18:57] bonhoffer: Would match "The end." at the end of a line, or "the end." at the end of a line. You get it right? [18:57] It's my isps default I guess, you want ip? [18:58] scarleo_: cat /etc/resolv.conf will tell you] [18:58] I tried via Synaptic package manager too [18:59] always when Install, just install firefox Aurora [18:59] ActionParsnip: Its my isp's default I guess: nameserver 193.150.193.150 nameserver 83.255.245.11 [18:59] scarleo_: run: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf change the servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [18:59] I don't like these browser [18:59] nslookup foo.com :) [18:59] Aurora [19:00] j3f3s0N: there are lots of browsers to choose from [19:00] j3f3s0N: from the Software Center, go to Edit -> Software Sources..., then make sure that the mozilla daily PPA is unchecked [19:00] ActionParsnip: Will that change be permanent? [19:00] scarleo_: save the new file, close gedit and try the web. If it's better then you will need to set the DNS in network manager so that the settings stick between reboots [19:00] scarleo_: is it better? [19:01] ActionParsnip: Ok [19:01] yeats: I go try [19:01] j3f3s0N: (under the Other Software tab) [19:01] justa a minute [19:02] ActionParsnip: No, no difference. Chromium used to be fast, now it says "Sending request..." for maybe 10-15 sec before opening page === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:02] well if it says "Sending request ..." then it isn't DNS [19:02] scarleo_: does it happen as all users? [19:02] ActionParsnip: Haven't tried [19:02] I logout and back again, brb [19:03] scarleo_: worth exploring :) [19:03] yeats: I removed all Firefox [19:04] j3f3s0N: you mean you unchecked the software sources entries? === free_drift is now known as free_drift_ [19:04] yeats: yes [19:04] yeats: is unchecked [19:05] ActionParsnip: Yep, same on all users [19:05] Khisanth: Ok, what can it be? [19:05] j3f3s0N: okay - can you open a terminal and enter 'dpkg -l | grep firefox', pastebin the output and share the link? [19:06] scarleo_: are you connect here on the same connection? [19:06] Khisanth: Firefox says Looking up... [19:06] Khisanth: yes [19:06] scarleo_: before we get to that you could try `dig example.com` [19:07] that reports how long it took to do the lookup [19:07] yeats: $ dpkg -l | grep firefox [19:07] ii firefox 8.0~a2~hg20110824r75797+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~natty Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla [19:07] Khisanth: Query time: 48 msec [19:08] and reports the server address :) [19:08] yeats: the command shows this [19:08] j3f3s0N: try 'sudo apt-get remove firefox', then 'sudo apt-get install firefox' [19:09] scarleo_: if you go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ does it report your IP as 83.249.195.161 ? [19:09] j3f3s0N: well you are using a daily build, it will have issues [19:09] ActionParsnip: yeah - I got him to remove the PPA entry ;-) [19:09] Khisanth: Here is complete output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/676113/ [19:09] Khisanth: yes it does [19:09] yeats: cool [19:10] scarleo_: could install dnsmasq to cache dns resolutions ;) [19:10] scarleo_: makes the web faster [19:11] yeats: wohoo! It worked! [19:11] ActionParsnip: ok, I can ttry that [19:11] yeats: Thank you very much! [19:11] j3f3s0N: great! happy to help [19:11] ActionParsnip: I already have dnsmasq-base, do I need dnsmasq also? [19:12] scarleo_: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/08/02/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing/ [19:13] 49milliseconds faster [19:13] yeats: you is good especialist in linux! [19:13] j3f3s0N: thanks, though there's always way more to learn! ;-) [19:13] hi [19:13] I dont hear anything anymore [19:13] someone in this channel told me to remove pulseaudio [19:14] then kgs was not working anymore [19:14] so I installed it again [19:14] g0th_: the Nam get yea [19:14] g0th_: Hum. Interesting choice on ubuntu...removing pulse that is. [19:14] (pulseaudio) [19:14] still no sound [19:14] someone in this channel said it was the only way [19:14] so I folloed the instructions [19:14] g0th_: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [19:14] g0th_: Which program gave you no soundbefore you removed pulse? [19:14] I have pulseaudio again [19:14] heh for me no sound = pulse died [19:14] g0th_: and QUIT hitting enter so much [19:15] How do I put movies or video's on a 5th generation Ipod in Rhythmbox media player?

[19:16] g0th_: If sound is working with pulse, but not in a specific program, use the padsp wrapper. [19:17] g0th_: what was the original problem? [19:17] no sound in kgs [19:17] g0th_: if you run the command I gave, we can progress === josh_ is now known as JoshOvki [19:17] g0th_: I have no idea what kgs is, but try running "padsp kgs" [19:18] How do I get PlayOnLinux to recognize that I AM online?

Or is there another program I can use? [19:18] new1: No idea. PlayOn as in the purchased media server software? [19:18] ok [19:19] g0th_: so you have no sound at all, or just still no sound in this single program? [19:19] No. The free version, standard. [19:19] Saludos cordiales = ) [19:19] BlueWolf: you could transcode them with something like Handbrake [19:20] It keeps saying "You do not appear to be connected to the Internet." [19:20] new1: OK. Well, either way, pay or free, it's PlayOn. So maybe a playon forum will be able to help you more. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:20] ok [19:20] new1: For what it's worth, most linux folk use mediatomb, where playon is generally (but not exclusively) used by windows users.

[19:25] scarleo_: with those out of the way, no [19:26] Kyle__, I used gem, because apt didn't have the updated version of rails [19:27] SIFTU: I have Arista Transcoder to convert the movies, I just want to know how I can put it on a Nano 5th generation ipod. Can I do it through Rhythmbox??? Or would I need another program?? [19:27] nikolaj: Ah. And now it's complaining ri isn't there? [19:28] nikolaj: Wait.

[19:44] <[THC]AcidRain> http://pastebin.com/8fbxwY8f here is my sources [19:44] <[THC]AcidRain> but i dont see what sources has to do with it. this issue just started out of no where [19:44] Thanks = ) [19:44] Kyle__, I have installed the packages as you say but it's still the same [19:45] mr_e_panda: i did suggest Handbrake for the transcoding, but does it transfer to the ipod too.. not sure havent used on in years [19:45] nikolaj: Check the ruby channel, I may be missing a step, but I had similar issues the first time I installed a gem on ubuntu. [19:46] Kyle__, I will do [19:46] <[THC]AcidRain> yeats, the error mentions something about games. in which if this is the case. what source contains games? if that is how i fix it. ill just remove that. i have no intention to play any games [19:46] shigutso: If you have at least 768MB of RAM you need no more than 256MB of SWAP, while up from 1280-1536MB of RAM SWAP is pretty much unnecessary. personally I have 1,5GB of RAM, no SWAP and swappiness set to 0. Best use Gparted to get rid of of this SWAP partition, then set swappiness too 0 and voila.

I see. [19:48] Galvatron, yes I tought that too, I set 1GB of swap only for emergencies, but I found very weird Ubuntu's kernel using swap that way... I've been using Ubuntu since 2006 (same amount of swap) and this never happened... well, I guess I will disable this partition in fstab... thanks for your help :) [19:48] shigutso: What is the output of "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" [19:49] does anyone know were the skeleton directory is for new user accounts? [19:49] Hi all, Is there anybody that kan help me with locking down the use of usb-pendrives? [19:49] [THC]AcidRain: have you tried disabling/commenting out the getdebs source - that was my though about sources (FYI) [19:49] StaticPhilly: Isn't it under /etc/skel? [19:50] Galvatron, 10, it was 60 yesterday (Ubuntu's default), changed to 10, but this didn't solve my problem haha [19:50] Kyle__: not sure, looking now, just thought id ask while on here to save searching :) [19:51] <[THC]AcidRain> yeats, "getdeb" was not found in my source list [19:52] Kyle__: yea thats the one, thanks :) [19:52] [THC]AcidRain: right - looks like it would probably be in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ === kreative is now known as Kreative` [19:53] shigutso: You might also simply comment the SWAP line in fstab, but I guess you can do a better use out of this 1GB than wasting it for useless SWAP. [19:53] <[THC]AcidRain> yeats, hmmm.... i commented it out and that fixed it. but what is wrong with that package? [19:54] <[THC]AcidRain> the link you posted said something about a 404 error. then something about registering with opendns in which i lost interest because i didnt see what registering with a dns site had anything to do with my package information [19:55] Is there a way to disable the ubuntuone notification? I love having it to sync my files, but I _hate_ how it's constantly popping up while I'm coding (I sync my netbeans directory) [19:55] [THC]AcidRain: that may be opensns spam 404 replacement page. [19:57] is there a cli tool that allows you to scroll an X window without focusing it? [19:59] [THC]AcidRain: I don't know... - something about the release file for that repo was messed up - you might have to research the error message to find out more [20:01] /msg nickserv register DoomNGloom quantum@mac.hush.com [20:02] Is that the right command to register nick?

Help please? [20:27] Depending on where you live, you may be able to use some of the stuff there. [20:27] oal: grsync is a gui for rsync, but you won't be able to schedule it [20:27] SIFTU: it only works as root [20:27] its in a chroot'd environment though [20:27] interwebz: You might try also asking in #phpmyadmin [20:27] th0r: ok... Any other suggestions? [20:27] if I go "su [myusername]" and then do it, i get nothing [20:28] oal: rsync + cron is probably the way to go - no GUI, but the syntax is straightforward [20:28] zahh: are you perhaps confusing the root user with the root directory? [20:28] paxnan, not sure but if this were my system I might just try removing the .ecryptfs folder (backup first!) [20:28] oal: not really. I use grsync for my backups, but I order them manually. rsync and cron I think is your only option [20:28] paxnan: Im not sure if I understand what you mean [20:29] zahh, the word "root" is used to mean two different things. [20:29] paxnan: im referring to root user [20:29] oal: there's (or was) a KDE frontend to rdiff-backup that allowed scheduling - but I don't recall the name atm [20:29] th0r, yeats thanks. I'll do some googling, if I don't find anything, I'll just use rsync and cron [20:29] I wasn't sure because you mentioned chroot, which has to do with the other sense. [20:29] Ah, I'll try to look it up [20:29] how may I add win7 to the grub manu in this case http://paste.ubuntu.com/676151/ [20:29] paxnan: I added working nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf as root, I get resolution as root (ex. ping google.ca) but not when I login as another user (ex. su anotheruser) [20:30] oal: it was called "keep", but it was deprecated along with KDE 3.5 :-( === erkan^2 is now known as erkan^ [20:30] zahh, is the file 644?

[20:38] paxnan, afaik, removing .ecryptfs is enough [20:38] paxnan, thats basically the info for encryption.. [20:39] paxnan, what about ecryptfs-manager [20:39] paxnan, making new public/priv keys might fix it [20:39] auronandace: yeah - I've checked it out before - I just got used to GNOME and never went back. I do use Clementine, though (based on KDE 3.5 Amarok) ;-) [20:39] mrrr [20:40] Wouldn't I first need to decrypt my existing data, so that it can be re-encrypted with the new keys?

I had split the drive into three partitions.

[21:39] bahaa: I think the partition manager can handle moving and resizing partitions [21:39] bahaa, gparted is good, but recommend loading a live cd and copying your important files off first [21:40] m_tadeu, the problem is that I have used a partition manager (installed fedora 15 ) to resize the root partition and that corrupted the boot [21:40] notlistening, from live CD it can't mount the partition [21:40] notlistening, because size mismatch with some settings file [21:41] mismatches* [21:41] bahaa, you adjusted the partition, from the system rather thean a live cd? [21:42] urlin2u, I adjusted the partition from fedora 15 instillation partition manager (manually) [21:42] it was 40 giga I made it 10 [21:44] bahaa, if your talking about fedora you have to use their channel, am I incorrect about the system in question here? === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [21:44] When I paste this "echo testing | mail -s Bla myemail@somewhere.com" in terminal it works..but when my application sends that to same place it just get echoed and returns everything except echo..any advice what to do..?

[21:45] the file size the partition is 40 but it's 10 so it can't be mounted [21:46] urlin2u, I used it because I had to use ubuntu on new laptop and didn't have newer version === erkan^2 is now known as erkan^ [21:48] bahaa, so the root is not mountable, do you have a separate home?

[21:49] urlin2u, yes I have [21:50] bahaa, so any thing you have which want to save, beyond any customization, is in a mountable partition? [21:50] you want to save [21:50] Rat123: are you using KDE by chance to create the launcher in the Desktop folder?

[21:52] it's not mountable from any where (not from grub nor live cd nor fedora) [21:52] i found some odd/bad behavior. my command line when entered was "java -jar /home/user/pcgen/pcgen.jar" but it ends up formatted in the pcgen.desktop file [21:52] bahaa, did you move the left side of the partition while lookinat it to the right? [21:53] Rat123: "java -jar /home/user/pcgen\npcgen.jar\s". I edited out the \n and \s and it launched fine. [21:53] urlin2u, I didn't understand, you mean when using the partition manager? have I kept the left side or not? [21:54] bahaa, did you move the front or the back of the partition, to shrink it the front being moved is when problems happen generally [21:54] so basically, if you use the plasma stuff to create the file.desktop launcher, it junks up the command line [21:56] bahaa, best way to do this for me is to have a look at the whole thing with a script, here it is download it and paste all the text from a RESULTS.txt generated from running the script to a pastebin. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [21:56] urlin2u, ok I will [21:57] bahaa, cool tha will get us closer to whats happening.;-) [21:57] that [21:57] ok :) [21:57] as soon as I install ubuntu the video flashes and X never loads? anything I can try?

[21:58] bahaa, it has to be run in linux so it sounds like yes, if the broken one is the only one on the HD [22:00] siestacat, no there is no netflix support on ubuntu because of the copywrite protection bs. [22:00] is there a way to get fdisk -l to output the "System" column with more specific information? (For instance it says "Linux" for my ext3 partition, I'd like to have it say ext3 or at least ext if it can't determine which ext version) [22:00] urlin2u, there is fedora 15 [22:01] Ademan: The file system is not the same layer as the partition. [22:01] Ademan: ie, fdisk is a partition management tool and it doesn't care much for what the partitions contain. [22:01] bahaa, not sure there, in the end what you need to do is retrive what you want, the applications are not going to transfer here but a supported install. I'm just trying to get you in. [22:01] Ademan, if the partition(s) are mounted you can use the "mount" command to see the format type [22:02] thesheff17 : there's no unofficial or even illegalish way of bypassing copywrite protection? [22:02] BlueEagle: fair enough [22:02] zykotick9: they're not, but thanks [22:02] it is because of the DRM copywrite stuff...some people have run windows xp inside a virtual machine [22:03] bahaa, you need to install lucid at the least, a long term support release, your choice here but 9.10 be installed is a handful of trouble for a new user to be honest. [22:03] urlin2u, I'll try using live cd [22:03] so I boot the live cd...video works fine...after an install of ubuntu 11.04 64 bit the video just flickers at me? anything I can do to fix this? [22:03] ademan: fdisk doesn't tell you the filesystem type. it just tells you the partition type which is a different animal [22:04] thesheff17, what video player you using and which OS? [22:04] siestacat: Use other site. [22:04] ubuntu 11.04 64 bit...ati 6870 [22:04] desktop version [22:04] Ademan: Without mounting the partition you would need a special tool for the job. The easiest way would be to temporarily mount it and see what file system is there. The alternative is determining it by reading the data in the partition itself. [22:05] notlistening, x doesn't actually boot it just flickers at me [22:05] ls [22:05] after the install [22:05] thesheff17 which video player program sorry :D [22:05] it is the whole os [22:05] not a vide [22:05] video [22:05] thesheff17, ah now i understand [22:05] notlistening, you're not listening ;) [22:05] lol [22:05] lol i am now :D [22:06] like the splash screen [22:06] bahaa, what happened to the 9.10 cd you would be better running the script from it? [22:07] !nomodeset | notlistening this might be worth a shot. [22:07] notlistening this might be worth a shot.: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:07] what is the easiest way to install an RPM [22:07] qin : another site? [22:07] NS_tech, dont... [22:07] rpm -i [22:07] NS_tech, what is the release your trying to do this in? [22:07] urlin2u, I moving the file from this computer to the target laptop (poor transfer mean) just a minute please [22:07] jdk-7 [22:07] siestacat: ...than drm infected netflix, but it is off-topic [22:08] NS_tech: maybe alien? [22:08] SIFTU, alien is a bad idea generally - but your answer is correct [22:08] BlueEagle + Ademan 'sudo parted -l' does it without mounting or while mounted [22:09] sorry if i missed it if that was already suggested [22:09] i got the link from oracle.com and i downloaded an rpm file. now what do i do with it to install it? [22:09] NS_tech: you could try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto [22:10] NS_tech: or find deb version of package. [22:10] bastedmonk: Does take an awful long time to run on my setup. [22:11] ok guys just curious, I have just setup evolution to handle my mail.. I opened it and when I went to close it the left pane greyed out and it refuses to close. I can minimise it expand it etc etc.. just not close it.. [22:11] does this mean the application has crashed and I should kill it? [22:11] 40GB drive here...i know most of the world probably runs 250GB and higher on their machines these days [22:12] nm I just killed it.. [22:12] bastedmonk: Could be my partition tables have been fritzed with disks going back and forth in raid configs and so on for testing. :) [22:13] Kingsy: How many emails do you have on your accouts, since evolution may need time to import them [22:13] sudo: alien: command not found [22:13] what do i do now? [22:14] qin: hmm naa it crashed when I quit. no idea why, I just killed it and restarted and quit.. it worked ok [22:14] Live for about 100 years then die [22:14] NS_tech: so you installed it? [22:14] oh wait i need to atp install alien first [22:14] 8facepalm* [22:15] hi i was wondering if when using jabber/xmpp empathy can retriever the chat room list when im using a conference server other than the jabber.org one [22:15] qin: if however I have evolution closed. and I sent myself an email (and in evolution I had ticked the box to check for mail every 10 mins) does the application need to be open or will it check in the background? [22:15] if that makes snese [22:16] Kingsy: evolution have notifier, which if runs will display topup in case of new emails. [22:16] when I install from live cd will changes I made while inside live make it into the install? [22:16] Kingsy, not sure here never used evolution, but it must be running to check. [22:16] redmenace: Not familiar with either the client nor the server, but I would assume that the client would use the same mechanics to look up room lists regardless of which server it was connected to [22:16] redmenace: Did you try it and fail? [22:16] qin: is this something I need to install seperatly? [22:16] jpapertowels, what changes? [22:17] urlin2u: yeah thats what I assumed, it wuld just be nice if it gave you a little popup [22:17] urlin2u: like if I remove applications while I'm using the live cd then hit the install button within ubuntu would the removed applications still be installed? [22:17] Kingsy: No, it should be there. [22:17] jpapertowels, it may do so, thunderbird does. [22:17] yeah it think it did BlueEagle when i tried using pidgin it found the rooms fine, but didnt show the number of ppl in them [22:17] qin: hmm ok [22:17] jpapertowels, I doubt it [22:18] how do I get the grub menu to pop up [22:18] urlin2u: umm okay thanks then [22:18] thesheff17: hold shift [22:18] redmenace: If pidgin shows number of ppl in the room on other jabber servers then it's a short comming of the server implimentatoin I reckon. [22:18] qin, thx [22:18] jpapertowels, the only thst is transfered is the wifi stuff if you use it in the install generally [22:18] urlin2u, http://pastebin.com/s5j1zkUU [22:19] BlueEagle it didnt show them [22:19] urlin2u, I done it right? [22:19] redmenace: I am thinking that such metadata queries may go on different ports. Did you check that nothing ran into a wall our out a broken route on the way? [22:19] redmenace: If Pidgin never shows the number of ppl on jabber servers then it's a short coming in the client. [22:20] oh [22:21] BlueEagle it doesnt show the number of ppl in the chat rooms [22:21] sudo apt install alien isnt working [22:22] !alien | NS_tech [22:22] NS_tech: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) === EgyParadox11 is now known as EgyParadox1 [22:22] NS_tech: that isnt a valid command "sudo apt-get install alien" or as those instructions say use aptitude [22:22] redmenace: Is that limited to your sever or does it never show on any server? === EgyParadox1 is now known as EgyParadox [22:23] well its a empathy question, but no i dont think so BlueEagle [22:23] bahaa, yes, to be honest tying to fix this is a waste of time, other then your attachment to any logs in the root, its not being read. Someone might suggest a fsck on the sda5, but that is outside of my usual area I have not had to do that. [22:23] flash 10.3.183 - anyone have trouble with it freezing if you don't move your mouse and know how to fix ? [22:24] oh well gotta go BlueEagle ill just live with it [22:24] sound works fine, just video freezes till you move mouse again [22:24] bahaa, you might just consider this a error, and just reinstall a supported release and and let grub2 be in the mbr, to boot everything easily [22:24] how do I know if I am running 32 or 64 bits version? [22:25] usr_: uname -a [22:25] usr_: that will tell you, if you see amd64 then it's 64but [22:25] usr_: *bit [22:25] cornet, x86_64 [22:26] urlin2u: I usually use fsck but it didn't work this time, the only way I was able to browse the partition is using grub command line [22:26] I have this problem: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 now I just realized I have ubuntu 64 bits :p has anyone heard of this problem before? [22:26] urlin2u, thanks for your help :) [22:27] bahaa, no problem, hope you get done what you need. ;-) [22:28] thanks, I hope that too :) === Smedles_ is now known as Smedles [22:29] usr_: did you install a deb of your own, or copy a file yourself?

They seem to refresh right now only when I switch to a different window. Any thoughts? [22:31] ActionParsnip, it was compressed (I don't think this matters at all...) [22:32] auronandace: thanks :) [22:32] ArseneRei, maybe some problems with your graphic card drivers? [22:34] Phoenix87: Hm, maybe? All I know is this started since I upgraded to natty. [22:35] usr_: then you need to undo whatever you did, then install the 64bit version [22:36] ActionParsnip, by any chance do you know if this might be caused because the file I am trying to install may be compiled for a 32 bit version (which I think it is) [22:36] usr_: yes, you need to match the arch [22:37] usr_, i see no mention of a linux package @ pogoplug [22:37] ArseneRei: tty terminal resolution? [22:37] hi, anybody know how to change audio sample rate on ubunut? [22:38] illunatic: I don't know what that is.

[23:39] jose33_Spaniard, o ne way to check is to download and burn the live cd and run it on that system [23:39] jose33_Spaniard: because most stuff works, you may need a little work to get some stuff running [23:40] jose33_Spaniard, and HP supports ubuntu as well as selling systems with ubuntu pre installed [23:40] unfortunately, I can't do that:( [23:40] do what? [23:40] jose33_Spaniard, that system doesnt have a cd burner? [23:40] I cannot test it [23:41] jose33_Spaniard: why not? [23:41] in my country, that kind of computer are not in normal stores [23:42] you have to order it [23:42] BuMpIc, do not pm people with asking you have done this twice to me I had the bot tell you why once and asked you not to do this on the channel [23:42] what is nmap?

[23:42] BuMpIc, a third time knock iy off [23:42] hi all [23:42] it [23:42] jose33_Spaniard, if it is an HP is is more than likely that Ubuntu will work,, and Ubuntu is going to work on most modern systems [23:43] im getting the hall.dll not found error when trying to boot ubuntu with wubi [23:43] I was gonna do it. [23:43] What's the command that "refreshes" an open terminal to account for changes to $HOME/bin, .bashrc, etc? [23:43] i installed ubuntu in another drive besides the windows one [23:43] anyone know how to solve that hall.dll error?

[23:47] welcome.my first time [23:47] i can boot to windows [23:47] BuMpIc, pming without asking is considered rude by many of us, to get the notification to a person in the channel tab the nic [23:47] but i cant boot to ubuntu [23:47] it says Hall.dll is not found [23:48] isnt hal.dll a windows file? [23:48] dmkae, boot a live cd, is this a Wubi install> [23:48] ?

How can I install a .deb package and all its dependancies? [23:49] i just want to know how to send a message with u know your name and a , and the message [23:49] dmkae: try pressing ENTER less too [23:49] enter less? [23:49] ok [23:49] lol [23:49] thats the big 51 page thread [23:49] BuMpIc: type a few of the first characters of a nick, then press TAB [23:49] i already looked at that thread [23:50] BuMpIc, all the info you need is here. http://freenode.net/ [23:50] ActionParsnip, fu.k thanx.Im asking this about half an hour:D [23:50] dmkae, you only need the first post, and if you don't underdstand post in the thread [23:50] urlin2u, know i understand [23:51] urlin2u: http://paste.ubuntu.com/676261/ [23:51] urlin2u, *now [23:51] urlin2u, so could u tell me waht is nmap? [23:52] BuMpIc, I have no idea ;-) [23:52] urlin2u, ok :) [23:52] urlin2u: what is the problem? [23:53] BuMpIc: NMap is a network mapping tool. If it's installed, open a termianl and type "man nmap" for the manual page. Otherwise google is helpful. [23:53] Thelmaria, thanx. [23:53] does anyone know if the HP Omni200 computers family has Linux support. They're "all-in-one" computers and they are not in "normal" stores, so I cannot test it with a Live CD. [23:54] Is there a way to change the display a program is running on? For example, I have a program running on display :0, but I would then like to change it to be on :1 without closing the application. Is that possible? [23:54] Thelmaria, can u use it? [23:54] does anyone has an all-in-one computer??? [23:54] do the wubildr files have to be on c:\? [23:55] or do they have to be on the drive where ubuntu wubi is installed? [23:55] BuMpIc: I use it occasionally, but if you want to use it, I suggest reading the man page and searching google. It can be a little complex. Also, be warned that you shouldn't use it on networks you do not own. [23:56] urlin2u: have you checked it? [23:56] robotti^_, you have a mixture of gpt efi and regular mbr partitioning, you have grub in sda when windows is in sdc and I see no /bootmgr /Boot/BCD needed to boot windows, out of my area with efi. [23:56] Thelmaria, so this is like a hacking stuff or what? [23:57] urlin2u, if i downloaded a program source code and i cimpiled it and i get a dir then how can i start it? [23:57] urlin2u: previously it have been working. [23:57] anyone knows of any plugin for rythmbox to modify the metadata on songs to add genre based on any online database such as firefm? [23:57] urlin2u: but now I have installed it again. [23:57] robotti^_, no bootflag on the windows partition as ell. [23:57] now it does not [23:57] hello?? [23:57] anyone konw? [23:58] robotti^_, did you remove a partition in any of the work? [23:58] BuMpIc, is it a tar.gz file?? [23:58] urlin2u: I am not sure [23:58] dmkae, wubi is best served being in C [23:58] jose33_Spaniard, yeah it was [23:58] urlin2u: I removed linux partition when I was installing [23:59] robotti^_, why would you do that [23:59] but how I can get it on working condition. [23:59] robotti^_, you are missing that file set I posted, can be added with a windows disc if sdc1 has the bootflag, and then put grub in the sdc mbr [23:59] ok, first is: tar -xvzf
