[00:00] !logs > fremen_ [00:00] fremen_, please see my private message [00:00] Success: fglrx is a hot mess. I'd try getting the latest DRI first. [00:00] of course, I'm not totally sure on the easiest way to do that with ubuntu [00:00] whats dri [00:01] i installed fglrx now [00:02] bbbbbbbb: your drive isn't listed anywhere in fstab? can you pastebin your fstab here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [00:02] bastidrazor : is there a quick search function for a user name ? or do i have to check all of the logs myself ? [00:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/679287/ [00:03] fremen_: contro+f on your favorite browser [00:03] Success: well, if you want to go that route, give it a reboot, it should switch as it boots next [00:03] wait what [00:04] what was the other thing you said [00:04] how do i change to that [00:04] quick question about nautilus - how do I make Ubuntu NOT show me the files on my desktop on startup? (Ubuntu classic theme) [00:04] and when i do will i get webgl? [00:04] fremen_: you could download the txt file then open it with an editor and search that way. [00:04] Success: if your Firefox is new enough you should have limited webgl support right now [00:04] im chrome [00:04] http://imagebin.org/170484 audio is wrong,something is not going well [00:05] 13.0.782.112 [00:05] Success: I don't know about chrome, sorry. Though a new enough version *should* have some support [00:05] firefox is kind of icky [00:05] xangua: i know that :), but what i mean is that; searching all of the agust logs for my name [00:05] Viking667: there is a value in gconf-editor to modufy that [00:05] bbbbbbbb: you win... how can anyone use a cd drive without it being in fstab first, do you have to mount it everytime? [00:05] i cant explain because i dont know what happend,,it just stop [00:05] Success: let's not start that here ;) [00:05] ok [00:05] apps-nautilus-something :S Viking667 ;) [00:05] xangua: thanks [00:06] fremen_: well if you don't remember the days you were here, yes [00:06] bbbbbbbb: did you install that dvd drive after installing ubuntu? [00:06] hylian: no, it just works - i have no idea how. it was in there all along [00:06] never installed anything [00:07] Success: I'm curious, what do you want webgl for? [00:07] xangua: found it. Thanks for that. [00:07] bbbbbbbb: , ok please pastebin what sudo blkid says, after running it in terminal. [00:08] bbbbbbbb: wait, i don't think blkid shows dvd devices. [00:08] i dont ike ppl telling me im not supported lol and the stuff looks cool [00:08] exactly [00:08] Success: you have an example? [00:08] bbbbbbbb: sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive will [00:09] xangua: ok then, but there is another problem, there are two files named #ubuntu.txt and #ubuntu.html on any day, one at the top and the other at the bottom, which one is this channel ? [00:09] ActionParsnip: yeah [00:09] llhull@llhull:~$ jockey-text -l [00:09] Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". [00:10] fremen_: both. they are just in different format. [00:10] http://playwebgl.com/games/o3d-webgl-pool/ [00:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/679292/ [00:10] fremen_: bot, one is pretty and the other is not [00:10] both [00:10] ActionParsnip, i'm not sure what's broken but it's still not fixed === BlouBlou is now known as gafapastas [00:11] fremen_: google indexes the logs btw, do an advaced search for your nick... [00:11] Success: works here... but I've got a GeForce running the official drivers so it should [00:11] Your browser does not appear to support WebGL. [00:11] thats what i get [00:11] bbbbbbbb: ok this will dump a lot of info, but atleast one of those will be the mnt or dev address for your cdrom: sudo lshw -C disk === gafapastas is now known as BlouBlou [00:12] Success: odd you'd get that specific error [00:12] hylian: just did this, see my paste [00:12] xangua: ok thanks, my mistake, thought lubuntu was ubuntu also :) [00:12] Google body-Google Body uses WebGL, a new standard for 3D on the Web. Your browser supports WebGL, but WebGL is not initializing properly. [00:12] Myrtti: how can i do that ? [00:12] http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/ [00:12] bbbbbbbb: what's your paste address? [00:12] i'm really sort of desperate - my screen is hard to read [00:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/679292/ [00:13] Success: yeah, it's not initializing properly because your driver has limited support [00:14] but my desktop has configured /media/D4EE-AF16 as the mount point and this works every time. here i only see the /media/DISKNAME [00:15] g2g bye ty [00:15] fremen_: Im not on my computer so I cant really give a good answer, but try "site:irclogs.ubuntu.com inurl:2011 fremen_" without the quotes [00:16] bbbbbbbb: ok so again at this location http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=77876 you would replace /mnt/drive with /media/EN_102900, and then the /dev/ section below would be /dev/cdrom. if the /dev/cdrom doesn't work, i would try one of the others, but it should. [00:16] hylian: but EN_102900 is the diskname [00:17] D4EE-AF16 would be the uuid [00:17] windows [00:17] weird [00:18] Myrtti: i found a good solution for this, i just change the day at url to go next days log :), like this "http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/08/""05""/%23ubuntu.html" [00:18] jetscreamer: in the wine config [00:20] jetscreamer: he is trying to get wine to recognize his dvd rom. It's functional for ubuntu, but wine doesn't see it. [00:20] ah [00:21] bbbbbbbb: yes, but it is also listed, thanks to your laste paste, as the media directory for the drive itself. i don't make this stuff up, i just read it off your paste.. [00:21] yep [00:21] but it would only work for this disk [00:21] how can i restore my sound controller back to normal,,it stop working [00:22] the pannel controler is acting up,i got sounds but i cant down or raise my volumen [00:23] hello [00:23] where might I find a greyscale version of the humanity theme? [00:23] I'm using Natty [00:24] on gnome look [00:24] at [00:24] when will Libreoffice PPA be updated to 3.4? [00:25] lahwran: possibly www.gnome-look.org [00:25] ok dont ask me [00:25] bbbbbbbb: maybe i didn't get what you are trying to do. by symlinking the dvdrom, wine will have a symlink to follow, hopefully recognizing the dvd rom. (we also have to update the wine config.) [00:25] hi, how can I find where the executable for a command resides? I'm trying to find an absolute path for 'source', but whereis just gives me the man pages. It's hard to search for and I'd rather not pick apart my paths. [00:26] byerley: which commandname [00:26] http://gnome-look.org/ [00:26] bastidrazor: source [00:26] elpata: could just use: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.3.4/deb/x86/LibO_3.3.4_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz and install manually [00:26] oops# [00:26] hylian: how do i update the wine config? i can create the symlink in wine config and click apply, isnt that enough? [00:26] byerley: "which" is the command .. which source [00:27] http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.3/deb/x86/LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz elpata [00:27] o u beat me at it [00:27] :P [00:28] i can only raise volumen using alsamixer GUI tool,not the pannel,,is not working [00:29] bastidrazor: "which: no source in...", command itself works fine from a fresh shell, but won't work in a makefile. I'm thoroughly confused now [00:29] hylian: so if i put in /media/EN_102900 it works perfectly with any dvd called EN_102900 - others dont. [00:29] and when i click on preferences it just stay on a little pop up message saying,,,waiting for sound system to respond [00:30] bbbbbbbb: right first you create the symlink, but it has to be in the ~/.wine/dosdevices/ folder named d.. and d. (you know windows) and then you have to update the wine config... and then cross your fingers. (i'm kidding) [00:30] Linda, have you looked in sound prefrences with a right click on the sound icon [00:30] Linda: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [00:30] bbbbbbbb: unfortunately so, this fix will only work for that device. [00:30] Linda, I guess you answrewd that sorry [00:31] hylian: but how do i get a general mountpoint with that UUID like i have on my desktop? [00:31] bbbbbbbb: the other option would be to creats symlinks for every other device, but, i was under the assumption that only your dvd rom was not being seen. [00:31] putting in /dev/dvd or others doesnt work [00:31] hello there [00:32] poppler: hello. [00:32] thanks ActionParsnip [00:33] bbbbbbbb: i really don't know. the way i usually do it is by stealing it from some source, but none of the apps i researched have ever given me a uuid for a dvd/cd rom. perhaps it's only for fixed disks? i don't know, or i should say maybe it's only for hard drives and usb drives...?? [00:33] I tried a live of ubuntu 11.10 and the nouveau drivers worked seamlessly with nice 3d acceleration... in 11.04 I had to install proprietary drivers. How can I get in 11.04 the same result of the 11.10 live? what am I missing now that is in 11.10? [00:33] elpata: np, whats so vital in the new version, to you? [00:33] poppler: i'm exactly the same. The latest nouvea rocks [00:34] urlin2u:) well i got from that command = ALSA Information Script v 0.4.60 and http://imagebin.org/170490 [00:34] ActionParsnip: so you say, we just need to update the nouveau driver? that's ti? [00:34] evening all [00:34] Linda: select to upload to the server, what is the URL made? [00:34] ActionParsnip: or something more's needed? [00:35] poppler: not sure at all, sorry [00:35] ActionParsnip: I've heard of something called "gallium3D" ... not sure how that comes into play [00:35] any able to get ubuntu on an hp touchpad? and could help me out [00:35] poppler: apparently kwni + nouveau performs slightly better then Compiz + nouveau so I've got KDE on my media system now [00:35] ActionParsnip: lo-menubar doesn't show window menu [00:36] ActionParsnip:) im on it buddy,is uploading === leinadninor is now known as un3k_ronin [00:36] ActionParsnip: ah I see... but I'm coming from kde, and wanted to give unity a try, so that's out for me [00:36] poppler: http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gallium [00:36] thanks [00:36] I'll have a look [00:37] I want to set up my home wireless router so I can refer to all the computers at home by name, via DNS. Can anyone point me to some tutorials or explanations on how to do that? [00:37] ActionParsnip:) http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c758c9e73dbf1e5409206ba3cb8fc81977c3e229 [00:37] how do i install ubuntu 11.04 onto my macbook air [00:37] ActionParsnip: yes ok, that's a 3d architecture, but how does that play with nouveau? Is it another package to be installed or the new nouveau simply implements the thing? [00:38] Linda: run the big lucid command here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [00:38] i don't get it [00:38] do cd/dvd drives have a uuid, i have never seen a uuid for one., [00:38] poppler: i guess nouveau implements it, or has that implemented in it [00:38] poppler: me neither [00:38] ah I see [00:38] okok [00:39] ActionParsnip:) coul that be installing the latest nVidia driver instead od the recomender vertion ? [00:39] macbookair, you will have to search the web not many here if at all run this http://www.infogenra.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-hp-touchpad.html [00:39] ActionParsnip: I'll try installing the same version of nouveau drivers which is in 11.10 live and see how it goes [00:39] Linda: its at least Alsa 1.0.23 which may help [00:39] ActionParsnip: you mean nouveau latest driver? [00:39] bbbbbbbb: yeah, i don't think uuid's are used for cd/dvd drives. i have to admit, i'd rather use a uuid than the old method. must be a reason why [00:39] poppler: Linda is having sound issues.... [00:40] ah ok, got mixed up [00:40] anyone ever come across this issue? - with firefox sometimes when i fast forward the video, the video speeds up... [00:40] poppler: ;) [00:40] hey [00:40] hylian: but it works great on my desktop ... gonna try now [00:40] I'm using emphaty to get in IRC, not straightforward at all XD [00:40] bungholio: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep "flash|gnash|swf" [00:41] is there a way i can change my pointer to black, not just in firefox? bc in the appearence preferences when i change it from default to dmz black its only changed in firefox, restart or not [00:42] chris215: hmm, usualy a log off and on is all that's needed. I've seen it in Lubuntu, where the theme only appys in some places. The log off usually makes it ok [00:42] Scripting help... I've got a long ghostscript command I use on PDF's to make them smaller. I need to do this on all the file in a directory I happen to be in. Once the script is written I'd like to invoke it from ~.bash_aliases using a short cut.. any takers to help build the script? We can move channels if need be. [00:42] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/3w5sDyjp [00:43] bye guys, thanks for all [00:43] ActionParsnip: maybe its just me then... my computer has ubuntu lucid and mint 11 and in both its the same thing and always like that in ubuntu [00:43] bungholio: sec, I'll get you a command [00:43] though maybe since the updates? [00:44] ill give it a shot logging out and in right now [00:44] from ubuntu [00:44] i'm hungry, see y'all later [00:45] bungholio: http://pastebin.com/cTJFeALH 64bit flash for a 64bit Ubuntu :) [00:45] is thaat prelink thingy making ubuntu faster? [00:46] ActionParsnip: thanks so much [00:46] so. does anyone know how i find the UUID of my DVD drive that is not listed in fstab? [00:46] dude: it helps.. :) [00:46] !uuid [00:46] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [00:46] bbbbbbbb: i dont think optical disks have a uuid.. [00:46] bbbbbbbb: it would be /dev/sr0 or sr0 or /dev/dvd or similer. [00:47] dude: I know of preload [00:48] still a black pointer [00:49] Dr_Willis: well, my desktops dvd drive has a uuid and works with wine - my notebooks dvd drive hasnt one and i cant use it with wine. on the desktop i can use /media/$UUID - here i can only try /dev/dvd (doesnt work) or /media/DISKNAME which i had to change with every new disk [00:49] after both logout and in and then restart [00:49] lol [00:49] Is there any chance changing the scrollbars back on Ubuntu 11.04 classic :P [00:49] what's the recommended way to have ubuntu 11.04 do automatic security updates? [00:50] !info apt-cron [00:50] Package apt-cron does not exist in natty [00:50] gah [00:51] ActionParsnip: still have a white pointer... except for like hovering over things [00:51] ArcadeDawg: sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar [00:51] bbbbbbbb: if you mount the thing to some location. you can set wine to access that same location. i imagine. but i rarely use wine with optical disks these days. [00:51] bbbbbbbb, you might be able to get away with creating /media/dvd then mounting /dev/sr0 to it.. [00:51] is there another place where you can change your pointer besides apearence pref and customizing your theme? [00:51] dooglus: http://www.builderau.com.au/program/linux/soa/Automatically-update-your-Ubuntu-system-with-cron-apt/0,339028299,339279542,00.htm [00:51] in general, how do I see the 'preferences' menu in 11.04? [00:51] ArcadeDawg, on this page is a tweak http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html [00:52] Anyone know of a good calendar app for Linux? There's a Mozilla-developed plugin for Thunderbird, but I'd prefer a stand-alone application, and then there apparently was a standalone version, but it has been disbanded (?)... [00:52] ActionParsnip: thanks [00:52] nsd_, the plugin for thunderbird is available as a stand a lone.. sunbird [00:52] nsd_: have you tried evolution? [00:52] ArcadeDawg, which is the command dooglus gave [00:53] scunizi: sounds good, how? ^^ [00:53] chris215: I have, but I have never used the calendar. As I said before, I think I might like a standalone app (especially if I decide to switch mail clients) [00:53] i see... because i just use my google calender from right in the web [00:54] Scunizi: Yeah, but apparently it's been disbanded or something? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ recommends not using it for some reason. [00:54] nsd_: same with gmail [00:54] bbbbbbbb, I think it's in the repos.. if not you could get it direct.. perhaps having to compile it. Also search for calendar in synaptic or your package manager of choice [00:54] Hi. My old box was dying, bought a new one. I copied the old disk to a new one and put Ubuntu 10.04.3 on the old and mount the new as /home. One thing I neglected was a list of software that I'd installed with Synaptic. [00:54] chris215: I'm not sure I know what you mean by that [00:54] nsd_, didn't know that.. I always use it in conjunction with thunderbird [00:54] Is there a way to get a list of installed software, is there a data file with that in it, plain text? [00:55] cornell: You may be able to chroot into the old system, and use dpkg --get-selections once in [00:55] Scunizi: i think you have me confused - "creating /media/dvd then mounting /dev/sr0 to it.." was my question :) [00:55] cornell: That'll give you a textual list [00:55] Where might I find the sound device location in Ubuntu 10.10? I was told to check /dev/dsp and /dev/sound/dsp. I have neither of those. [00:56] cornell: It requires a bit of doing, but the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot describes how to chroot into another partition [00:57] Thanks nsd, but... The old system is gone. The data is copied to another disk. [00:57] Or am I not understanding. [00:57] cornell: I understand [00:58] cornell: On the new system, you use chroot to be able to run commands in the environment provided by the old system's harddrive (now on /home, like you said), so that you can run dpkg --get-selections to get a list of installed packages [00:58] The OS had been on its own 15 gig partition, which is now in its own directory buried in my /home [00:58] cornell: Then un-chroot back to your old system and use that list to install those packages [00:58] Ah [00:58] bbbbbbbb, sorry.. I missed that in the beginning.. I'm sitting here multi-tasking with work [00:58] cornell: Just replace the grub reinstallation steps with dpkg --get-selections in that guide I linked to you [00:58] cornell: And replace /mnt with /home [00:59] Scunizi: no problem - but how do i mount /dev/sr0 to /media/dvd [00:59] cornell: I really don't know if there's a simpler way than that [00:59] W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [00:59] bbbbbbbb, sudo mkdir /media/dvd > sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/dvd [01:00] bbbbbbbb, the ">" isn't used in the command.. [01:00] right [01:00] thanks [01:00] bbbbbbbb, hope it works [01:01] cornell: Oh, and you don't have to be running off of a live CD [01:01] cornell: I forgot to mention that, just run the version of ubuntu on the new system [01:01] I just found that I had 6 kernels installed.. not leaving much room in /.. eliminated 4 [01:01] Right, many of the steps seem unnecessary, as I have a running system with all disks mounted. [01:03] cornell: So for you, do this: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done; sudo chroot /mnt; sudo dpkg --get-selections > installed_packages.txt [01:03] hi, how can I install the new version of epiphany on terminal ? [01:03] cornell: Then press Ctrl-D and do this: for i in /sys /proc /dev/pts /dev; do sudo umount /mnt$i; done [01:03] I dont understand the documentation [01:03] Scunizi: "mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only" [01:03] my volume controller in pannel is not working at all,i click on preferences and i get a pup ip little windows telling,,waiting for sound system to respond [01:04] hid: Do you mean from source? [01:04] nsd_; yeah here http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Downloads [01:04] anyone know the command to look in other drives ie- USB? i can't find the command in google /sigh [01:04] someone please test my http -> http://41.52.37.64 [01:05] epipahny webkit version [01:05] BarBlitz: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 41.52.37.64. [01:05] mmm, I was thinking just sudo chroot /home/oldOS [01:05] Or do I have to do the for i in etc. after chroot'ing? [01:05] oh, darnit [01:06] bbbbbbbb, humm... not an issue if you're not going to write to it.. the other way of mounting it is through the fstab file.. try "man mount" to see if you can add parameters to the mount command giving r/w rights [01:06] cornell: You do the for blah blah blah thing first, then chroot, then run hte command. Also, I forgot to change /mnt to /home in your case [01:06] *the [01:06] Scunizi: wait it was mounted [01:07] hid: Did you download a stable or unstable copy of the code? I would recommend the former. Or, did you not even get that far? [01:07] bbbbbbbb, yes it was .. but you won't be able to write to it.. that's what the error said. [01:07] do i need to unmount it first? [01:07] ok, nsd_, the for i etc will mask the existing ... mounts? /sys /proc etc. [01:07] how to i access another mount on my Hard Drive with Command? [01:08] cd /media && ls -l * [01:08] bungholio: ^^ [01:08] Then chroot, then I'm effectively running the old OS. do the dpkg. and then do the second for i, which will unmask them. [01:08] I think I understand, nsd_ [01:08] The for loop is equivalent to typing this: "sudo mount -B /dev /home/dev; sudo mount -B /dev/pts /home/dev/pts; sudo mount -B /proc /home/proc; sudo mount -B /sys /home/sys" [01:08] bbbbbbbb, unmount it to do what? write to it? probably .. sudo umount /media/dvd [01:09] nsd_: I didn't download the unstable version yet. I on the 2.30 now (former version) [01:09] I'm on* [01:10] how can i reset alsa sound system to defaults [01:10] Scunizi: no. wasnt mounted [01:10] hid: I would recommend downloading the stable version if you really must use the bleeding edge, then look to see if there's an "INSTALL" file in the downloaded source archive, then follow it's instructions. You'll probably have to install some development header packages, then run something like "./configure && make && sudo make install" [01:10] my volumen applet in pannel is not working [01:11] ok, sorry I made it listen on my IP, now please try again [01:11] What is the purpose of associating files with a file descriptor? [01:11] YES!, its working, yay! [01:12] F.E. "exec 4>fd4.out" [01:12] Thanks :) [01:13] Hi, how do i check my dvd region in command line [01:13] Haematoma, I guess to assist with identifying files at the lowest levels [01:14] Haematoma, cause everything else file-related at higher levels is basically built upon FD's [01:14] this is sorta done -> http://41.52.37.64:80/files_os_slack.php [01:14] Okay.... I'm back. Anyone able to help with enabling a Dell Inspiron 1501 wifi key/light/interface? [01:15] Haematoma, and networking too [01:15] so after association could I redirect output to said by issuing a command like "ls >> 4" [01:15] to said document* [01:16] nsd_, Ok, unfortunately, when I did the copy, it used the made up name, so this is going to be messy... It's actually in /home/oldJasmine/oldStuff15Gig/702869ec-2fcd-4848-bbd0-719cd4f80396 [01:16] Haematoma, no that would just create a text file named '4' and put the output of `ls' in it [01:16] nsd_: So the first step is: [01:16] for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /home/oldJasmine/oldStuff15Gig/702869ec-2fcd-4848-bbd0-719cd4f80396$i; done; sudo chroot /home/oldJasmine/oldStuff15Gig/702869ec-2fcd-4848-bbd0-719cd4f80396; sudo dpkg --get-selections > /home/myusername/installed_packages.txt [01:16] The second step is: [01:16] Ctrl-D [01:16] for i in /sys /proc /dev/pts /dev; do sudo umount /mnt$i; done [01:16] cornell: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:16] At least this time I was able to keep the wired working... [01:16] oops [01:16] snfo, I seem to be missing the point of a file descriptor :( [01:16] cornell: I think that should work [01:17] ok, I'm turning it off, Thanks again =) [01:17] cornell: Don't forget to reverse the process when you're done [01:17] Hey,,,sounds issues here,,my pannel volume control is not woeking,,,but i have audio [01:17] snfo, I know file descriptors 0, 1, 2 , can be used to choose which form of input/output gets redirected, but I don't know what #'s 3-N do [01:17] That look right, nsd_... good cool, I'll give it a try. Now, I'm doing this after sudo su. And I assume that if there's a problem, rebooting will make all things right again. [01:18] can someone tell me the command line to shutdown ubuntu? do i need to get down to single user mode b4 issuing cmd. [01:18] well, i guess i can live without optical drives in wine. thx everyone [01:18] bye [01:18] Striker3070: shutdown [01:18] Striker3070, Shutdown -k 0 [01:18] cornell: I believe so. [01:18] Hey, quick question - just installed xmonad in ubuntu and realized I don't know how to open a couple of things from the terminal (and dmenu seems not to like them) - what is the graphical volume control called from the terminal? Also, if possible, the NetworkManager (which opens automatically, but remains hidden) [01:18] Striker3070: sudo shutdown -h now is another way [01:18] Ok im in europe and my region is set to 2 but the dvd wont play only the intial universal 20 sec intro why? [01:18] ActionParsnip: beat me too it! [01:18] sabrion/ 0 is now, what is -k [01:18] Haematoma, I understand what you mean. Their basically used in low-level system calls and sockets for networking. If you create a new file 'test.txt', way down in the low-level stuff it has a FD (somewhere between 3-N) [01:19] yaaase: alsamixer or alsa-mixer or somting like that is a curses based volume control tool [01:19] Striker3070: sudo reboot also works *if you want to reboot. [01:19] Striker3070, Not quite certain... lol... leftover training from an ancient linux class. Heh... [01:19] yaaase: I had this in Awesome WM with other software. Open software-centre and find the package. The binary names are listed in there. [01:19] snfo, is there anyway I can tell what a file's default descriptor is? [01:19] ActionParsnip > so don't need to get to single user mode first, just shutdown. cool th [01:19] thx [01:20] Striker3070, ignore the -k... that's useless for what you're wanting. [01:20] Striker3070, it means send warnings, don't shutdown. [01:20] sabropn > thx [01:21] Striker3070: yeah, just fire it in a terminal, the rest is handled for you [01:21] Haematoma, I'm honestly not sure man. On the command line their really only useful when working with 0, 1, and 2 to be honest. Anything else can just be referenced by it's name. [01:21] ty doug :) it seems to work :) [01:21] Dr_Willis / somsip: thanks! [01:21] ActionParsnip, I'm back. I tried the website, and now I'm on the dell with wired, etc, etc. However wireless is still a no go. However, the buttons (hotkeys what have you) aren't working... [01:21] ActionParsnip, So I can't enable the wireless device. [01:22] hi, using ubuntu 11.04. everytime reboot, I have to set my resolution manually to the correct one. how to fix this? nvidia card. there is no xorg.conf. I tried to remove ~/.nvidia-settings-rc which doesn't help. The story: The correct resolution is 1280x800. I used a projector before. At that time, I setup twinview in nvidia-settings and set it to 1024x768. after this point, verytime reboot, it uses 1024x768 by default. [01:22] Haematoma, now in C and/or C++, they are what's underneath the FILE struct and the sockets API. [01:22] Haematoma, that's where they're mainly useful I guess is all I'm saying. [01:22] the resolution was OK before I used the projector. [01:22] snfo, gotcha - maybe they are handled differently in BASH? === fr0sted-bnc is now known as fr0sted [01:23] Cool, nsd_ worked like a champ!!! Now, the list is ALL installed packages, so I just go through Synaptic and any on the list that aren't already installed, I install. [01:23] hi i cant seem to get spotify to run using wine, it just stops working [01:24] What is the hotkey to switch between workspaces? [01:24] snfo, reason I ask is because I'm going through a shell programming book at the moment, and the author very briefly goes over assoc. files w/file descriptors and neglects to give a example [01:24] hello [01:24] battlehands, ctrl alt direction [01:24] cornell: Yes. You can also do the same command on your new system, and with some regular expression / command line magic get a list of only the programs not installed on the new system. [01:24] snfo, but thanks for explaining [01:24] battlehands, such as up down left, right, etc. === fr0sted is now known as fr0sted-bnc [01:24] Actually, I can do the same... I was going to say that. [01:24] sabrion, can I move programs that are already open to another workspace? [01:25] batrick, ctrl+shift+direction [01:25] Haematoma, I see. I don't believe bash handles them any diff though honestly. They're what's underneath all the "abstract" stuff like file names and directories basically. [01:25] battlehands, rightclick on the title bar... should show option "move to workspace #" [01:25] batrick, ctrl+alt+shift+direction [01:25] Though my magic's not good, I was going to put both lists in a spreadsheet and do it manually. [01:25] Haematoma, if you catch my drift. [01:25] battlehands, ctrl+alt+shift+direction [01:25] anyone got openvz working for ubuntu? [01:25] sgoll you don't need shift. [01:26] sabrion, sgoll, thanks [01:26] whats the best way to virtualize your servers, these days .... last time i did so was 3 years back when xen/openvz was all the shiz [01:26] sabrion, shift for moving the the window [01:26] cornell: Well, either way, good luck [01:26] sgoll oh... cool. [01:26] How to change file between the two computer when I using [01:26] remote-desktop? [01:26] I use xp to visit my ubuntu. [01:26] And why i can't input chinese in Emacs when i use remote-desktop? [01:26] * cornell really needs to learn regular expression / command line magic [01:27] * cornell still has no google-fu [01:27] anyone has any ideas on my resolution problem [01:27] Using the encrypted swap feature overwrote one of my data partitions... At install the swap partition was /dev/sdb4... but when I rebooted it switched to /dev/sda4... and /etc/crypttab doesn't use the UUID.. [01:28] Help~ How to exchange file when I using remote-desktop in win to visit my ubuntu? [01:28] hello [01:28] i want to make a clean install of gstreamer i'm on lucid [01:28] when i ran gstreamer-properties i got errors like [01:29] plugin unavailable blah blah [01:29] imadper, doesn't Windows have something like the SSH copy program (scp)? I think it's called WinSCP. [01:29] hello.my internet is browsing mega slow?any one can help me fix that? [01:30] cornell: Well, first off, I'd save a copy of each list (on the new and old systems) to a temporary directory (just so you don't lose them). Make them read-only, too. There's a command whose name escapes me that'll show common lines / lines in only one file / lines only in the other file that would probably do what you want. [01:30] http://imagebin.org/170497 , i need help having back volume control,it is not indicator [01:30] snfo: does putty has this function? [01:30] Well... nsd_ [01:30] Both files are the same. [01:30] can any one help me? [01:30] May I ask is there a driver for the Realtek 8211CL-VB yet :) [01:30] pliz [01:30] i think i ruined the default gstreamer installation when i wanted to install the new version of rythmbox [01:31] imadper, I'm not sure, I haven't used Putty enough to know. [01:31] imadper, I would say it does though. [01:31] CAN ANY ONE HELP ME PLZ? [01:31] yelling helps [01:31] snfo: thx~ I found winssh [01:32] imadper, no problem [01:32] Linda: try to use alsamixer [01:32] guerrero: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf delete ALL text and add this line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 save the new file and close gedit, is it faster? [01:32] May I ask is there a driver for the Realtek 8211CL-VB via Natty? [01:33] guerrero: You can help yourself by having some patience too [01:34] madprops:) i install alsamixer,,boy why i have to use a program to control volumen,,it was working fine [01:35] Hello [01:35] Arcademan: if you run: sudo dhclient eth0 does it get DHCP ? [01:35] cornell: The command is comm. [01:36] Error getting interface... No such device :P [01:36] is the only isue i ever had with linux,never had a problem that i can resolve with a little help [01:36] nsd_, I think I've screwed it up... the list contents, both of them, don't show some I know were on the old machine. [01:36] Error getting interface... No such device ActionParsnip [01:36] Have you modified the old list? [01:36] I plugged my microsdhc card into my computer and now it won't read on my phone or my computer. In disk utility it, under the card reader it says "no media detected" [01:37] dmesg reports: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/679321/ [01:37] cornell: I can't explain why, but I've had dkpg seem to act oddly in doing similar such tasks, so it could also be to blame. If you can remember the package names, just mark them manually. [01:37] Linda: if you run: alsamixer is it all unmuted and cranked? [01:37] So the card is being read - is there any way to fix this? [01:37] nsd_ the old machine was in service 6 years. No, I can't remember all [01:38] cornell: Did you modify the old list? Otherwise I don't know what to say -- that's just part of the pains in transitioning. [01:38] I ran just the first for i ... done; There aren't any messages, I just get the prompt. [01:38] Superstar: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the partition? [01:38] ActionParsnip:) i have audio,,it is just the volume controller from panel that does not work [01:38] Linda: I see, strange [01:39] cornell: You mean just now you ran those to get another list? [01:39] Yes, but only the loop part. [01:39] Hi everyone [01:40] Where does this error come: " configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.40.0 or later. " [01:40] nsd_ [01:40] I don't know if I hosed something... if I reboot, whatever I've done will go away, correct, nsd_? [01:40] what does this mean Reading package lists... Done W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [01:40] hid: Like it says, I guess you need a newer version. You'll just have to get a newer one. [01:40] ActionParsnip: Negative. Could a low level format solve this by any chance? [01:41] cornell: I believe so. === smw_ is now known as smw [01:41] cornell: Did you do the second for loop to umount? [01:41] cornell: *unmount [01:41] Each attempt but the last. [01:41] Superstar: when you last finished with the device, what steps did you take to remove it? [01:42] anyone, how do i fix the bad key for the main ubuntu repos? [01:42] Going to reboot now [01:42] bbiab [01:42] ActionParsnip: Safely remove drive [01:42] !lucid [01:42] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [01:43] Superstar: good :). Makes a huuuge difference [01:43] nsd_: but what is intltool? How to install it ? [01:43] ActionParsnip, it does not even show it via lspci either :P really odd :P [01:43] bsmith093: can you pastebinthe output of: sudo apt-get update [01:44] Arcademan: if you run: sudo lshw -C network does it show there? [01:44] Arcademan: is it usb based or interneal? [01:44] *internal [01:44] hid: I don't know. Google is your friend. Likely, if a newer version isn't available in the package repositories, you'll have to build it from source as well. [01:44] hey people [01:44] Linda: could try the Oneiric live CD, see if it works there [01:44] hi nodex [01:45] ActionParsnip, it does show my wireless adapter it is internal built on the motherboard ;) [01:45] when I use apt-get update, it shows an error:W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/Release [01:45] ActionParsnip:) see if it work what buddy ?? my audio ?

[01:47] Arcademan: is the NIC enabled in BIOS? [01:47] cornell: I have to go, so if you need more help you'll have to ask someone else, I'm afraid. [01:48] bsmith093: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5 [01:48] Yes ActionParsnip :P since it works in Windows :P [01:48] Linda: check the sound settings and selected audio device, make a note then compare to the installed OS [01:49] ActionParsnip: worked thanks :) [01:49] ActionParsnip, how do i tell what video my ubuntu is actually running?

[02:13] ActionParsnip: Last day off... 16 Aug. Last coffee, 15 minutes ago. [02:13] #android [02:13] Is there a way I can place sudo apt-get list < list.txt into a list format not one by one line? [02:14] Can't remember the exact name right now, something that starts with 'e' and ands with '4' [02:14] qin: this is my 3rd day, got Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon off, then back on Tues on days [02:14] fabio: ext4? [02:14] Yes, that's the one [02:14] fabio, without a real outdated app windows wont read ext type partitions, generally people use a ntfs partition to shre . [02:15] share* [02:15] i recently formated a ntfs partition to ext4 but its not giving the permission to read and write? [02:15] or use samba [02:15] any suggestions? [02:15] i have 2 name server [02:15] domain Belkin [02:15] search Belkin [02:15] nameserver 192.168.2.1 [02:15] nameserver 192.168.1.1 [02:15] ActionParsnip: So you can stay here just for fun ;) [02:15] guerrero: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:15] sorry :( for flood [02:15] fabio: you can use www.fs-driver.org to view ext2 and ext3 but Windows is too crippled to do anything of any value to Linux partitions [02:15] qin: its dead, so yeah [02:16] guerrero: I don't care what it says now, I just told you to change the file didn't I? [02:16] i have changed the umask to 0000 [02:16] don't forget Ext2fs :P [02:16] how do i change it? [02:16] So, what should I do? I couldn't install ubuntu on a ntfs partition, and didn't have the option to format any free space to ntfs [02:16] both name server to 8.8.8.8? [02:17] 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4 [02:17] they're google's DNS servers [02:17] guerrero: I already told you what to do in as much detail as can possibly be given, try scrolling up and re-reading [02:17] guerrero: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, but it is public google. [02:18] fabio, ubuntu goes in a ext4 make an extra ntfs to share between ubuntu and XO. [02:18] guerrero: you have ALL the instruction you can need [02:18] XP [02:18] action i love you.and if ur a bot then ur a good one :p [02:18] and thnx all of you 4 the help its browsing fast now :) [02:18] That's my idea, but how can I create a ntfs partition? [02:19] guerrero: is it faster? [02:19] fabio: use gparted from a LiveCD/LiveUSB [02:19] qin: any idea why i can't connect to the server on external ip? localhost:10666 and 192.168.1.10:10666 (my internal ip) connect ok, but when i try to connect using my external ip i just time out? i have no firewall installed (except the standard iptables and ufw), the ports are forwarded to my internal ip on my router. [02:19] fabio, with a partitiner like gparted in ubuntu. [02:19] its its much faster :) [02:19] guerrero: that change won't stick between reboots so you need to make the change in network manager so that the file gets THAT seting rather than your junky ISP's DNS [02:20] samsonowicz: Moment. [02:20] and how can i do that change permanently? [02:20] Thank you very much guys, all of you. I'll try that as soon as can. Bye [02:20] guerrero: in network manager, set the connection to DHCP (address only) then on the DNS line set the DNS to: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 and click to make it the setting for all users [02:21] which one is beter.network conection manager that came with ubuntu.or wiicd? [02:21] guerrero: both are fine, I use wicd as I like the CLI interface :) [02:21] !better | guerrero [02:21] guerrero: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:22] guerrero: there is no 'better' in software, each has strengths and weaknesses, for what you need network manager is fine [02:22] samsonowicz: can you forward any known service (like ssh) for test? [02:22] thnx [02:23] samsonowicz: All ping attempts have failed, did you say that your sever was ok on M$? [02:24] qin: yeah, it worked on win 7. i forwarded port 22 on my router, will that suffice for a test or do i need also need to setup something else? [02:25] is there a separate irc channel for developers who are working on the beta release? [02:25] !oneirice | mibbit [02:26] !oneiric [02:26] Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu.

[02:27] hello all, how can i create an efi patition (for boot booster) using a uuid table? [02:27] thanks xangua [02:29] qin: i don't know if i run a telnet service... what's strange is that scanning my internal ip with nmap gives: "All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.1.10 are closed", scanning my routers ip however gives: "Discovered open port 80/tcp on 192.168.1.1" and also ports 21 and 23 === jacob_ is now known as Guest1175 [02:30] samsonowicz: May be your switch. [02:30] "Too many packets for different ports on $IP, we're going to block traffic for a bit from the origination point" [02:30] Some crappy consumer gear does that. [02:30] Corey: don't have a switch... i think? unless an ordinary router is a switch. :P [02:32] Corey: my networking knowledge is rather miserable. [02:32] i need help running unity [02:32] my driver is blacklisted [02:32] samsonowicz: 10666/tcp filtered unknown, Well, if router configuration is ok, then maybe DZM would help. for ssh test, forward port from box you running game and watch /var/log/auth.log [02:32] i have the link on the commands i need to run but im having a hard time figuring out how to run those commands [02:33] samsonowicz: And why it is tcp from router? [02:34] hi all, Something on my box is sending out data on the network as fast as possible. Can someone help me determine what process is doing it? [02:34] qin: do you mean why is the tcp protocol open? i forwarded both protocols on ports 22 and 5000-15000 [02:34] Bentley_: iftop [02:34] hello all, how can i create an efi patition (for boot booster) using a uuid table? [02:34] i need to force unity to start. can someone help me with running the commands sudo nano /etc/environment and adding UNITY_FORCE_START=1 [02:34] qin, installing... [02:35] samsonowicz: Disregard, wrong switch in nmap [02:35] Bentley_: Its keep alive stuff, Xboes do that [02:35] Bentley_: Also: sudo netstat -tuep or -tulp (for fisten only) [02:35] Bentley_: I seem to recall they are IPX/SPX keep alive packets [02:36] 315Gb since i don't know when :) [02:36] Bentley_: yep, they suck === adrian is now known as Guest24138 [02:36] samsonowicz: box form you running game: start ssh server and forward in router. [02:36] hi people [02:37] What's the best way to get gems to work? [02:37] rclay: gems? [02:37] The packages don't seem to be adding the gem path to $PATH [02:37] hmmm, iftop is showing me the top senders are to Lower-Room.local and Outside.local ....those are my airport expresses [02:37] ahh i see now [02:37] I don't to have to manually add them to every node... [02:37] Is there a way I can place sudo apt-get list < list.txt into a list format not one by one line? [02:38] whew, at least it's not my embarassing home videos going out to some download site! [02:39] I read some long-running bug thread about how broken the gem paths are nowadays or something blather like that... [02:40] Bentley_: I'd ask in an xbox channel someplace but basically they suck and I suggest you power it off when you aren't using it to not only save the gajillions of electricty they chug but to save your network [02:40] ActionParsnip, i don't have an xbox [02:40] qin: installed openssh-server and -client. 'ssh localhost' seems to work for me. === picolo is now known as Picolo [02:41] Arcademan: I would suggest writing a script to do that. [02:41] samsonowicz: Check. tail -f /var/log/auth.log [02:41] Bentley_: must be crossed wires in my brain, my bad [02:41] i cant get my computer to boot in unity, can some one help? [02:41] qin: 'localhost 83.8.80.67' outputs "ssh: connect to host 83.8.80.67 port 22: Connection refused" [02:42] Anybody use gems in here?

[02:42] samsonowicz: I get a request for username here [02:42] samsonowicz: just connected to 83.8.80.67 just fine [02:43] samsonowicz: had to accept the key and everything [02:43] samsonowicz: Confirmed. [02:43] rclay: in the past when I was messing with rubygems i had to write the gem's path to ~/.bashrc [02:44] qin: why i can't connect to myself using 'ssh 83.8.80.67' then? [02:44] Jokn: Ugh, that's gross... Oh well, I guess that's how it goes ;) [02:45] samsonowicz: Wrong IP [02:45] before i post the link , can somebody help me win a facebook like contest? [02:45] rclay: yea thats the way the ubuntu documentation says to do it, IDK of any other way, but I really haven't messed with it for about a year now. [02:46] i'm not going to post it because I don't want to get booted [02:46] but.. if I could message my facebook page to anybody that will help [02:46] randrums: then don't [02:46] Jokn: I'm not sure why the package doesn't just put it in there, so "it just works" But then again, it's not Dropbox, haha. [02:46] qin: what do you mean? myip.dk gives me: 83.8.80.67 [02:46] randrums: this is support ONLY [02:46] i just installed Ubuntu on my netbook. Love it [02:47] qin: also, i immediately get a refusal when i try to connect, i don't have to wait for a timeout or anything... [02:47] alllright. well, thanks anyway [02:47] i need help forcing unity to start at boot, can someone help me with the commands? [02:47] jam120992: add the command: compiz --replace in your startup and it should be ok [02:48] rclay: yea I'd agree it would be better if it would work just after the apt-get install [02:48] Doesn't it? [02:48] samsonowicz: Wait, You can connect localy, but your isp may not resolve own mask, or blocking internal broadcast. try ssh -vvv [02:49] well it does, but last I messed with it and what rclay is saying. You have to update the path in bashrc [02:49] Anyone familiar with a problem like this on 10.04: When I'm playing music through rhythmbox and I use any other program that plays sound at the same time (flash, games, facebook chat) the sound gets all garbled and distorted. SC is Soundblaster live 5.1 [02:50] mbernhardt: Yeah, it's all there, but you have to add it to the system path. [02:50] qin: http://pastebin.com/hyC4CKmp [02:50] mbernhardt: And I don't want to have to do that with all of my nodes, but I suppose I'll have to figure out some witty way of doing it... [02:50] does anybody know how can I specify a DNS server using OpenVPN? [02:50] Ok [02:51] ActionParsnip_ the commands on the support page look like this sudo nano /etc/environment add: UNITY_FORCE_START=1 [02:51] openn: you mean like what DNS gets sent to clients via DHCP ? [02:52] if anyone answered my question could you please repeat, ubuntu just locked up and crashed when starting openarena :/ [02:52] Jokn: vpn server gives me a DNS IP which I dont want to use. [02:53] are you controlling the VPN? you can change what DNS it pushes via DHCP in the config [02:53] ActionParsnip_ were you talking about running compiz --replace in the terminal or somewhere else? [02:53] jam120992: worth a try, its easily rolled back if it's no good [02:53] Jokn: no, I dont control the vpn server [02:53] jam120992: add a startup item to run the command and it will run, should make unity run as its a plugin in compiz [02:53] Jokn: hm how can I push the DNS I want via DHCP [02:54] well im not sure how to run sude or how to add UNITY_FORCE_START=1 [02:55] how do you add a start up item? [02:55] im new to ubuntu btw [02:55] openn: you'd have to have control of the server itself to change that [02:55] Jokn: the only solution is to edit /etc/resolv.conf? [02:56] on your machine, yea you could specify dns [02:56] are you trying to get around dns filtering ? [02:56] no [02:56] What's the problem then? [02:56] just to use a different DNS server [02:56] lower latency, no log, etc [02:57] echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf [02:58] yea, not sure if the VPN dns will take over though. haven't really messed with VPN tunnels via desktop version [02:58] I remember someone once mentioning a method of learning vim to me, I think the program was called vimtutor, can anyone confirm that? [02:58] how do i install the development version of google chrome in ubuntu 10.04? [02:58] openn: but I think you get the idea. Do you have DiG installed? [02:58] bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied [02:58] ? [02:58] infid add the chromium ppa [02:59] there are like 3 ppa's stable, beta and dialy i believe [02:59] openn, did you use sudo? [02:59] yes [02:59] openn: you use sudo to edit it? [02:59] sudo echo [02:59] lol [02:59] open it with a text editor see what it looks like see if you can change it [02:59] I want to edit it with single command [02:59] ActionParsnip: you said you can connect to my ssh, but why when i nmap my ip it doesn't discover the ssh service? [03:00] define "want to edit with single command"? [03:00] openn: you can set DNS on network preferences [03:00] xangua: I know, but IM using terminal only [03:00] not network-manager [03:01] Onlyodin: I want to edit /etc/resolv.conf with sudo echo "nameserver IP" >> /etc/resolv.conf [03:01] then use sudo vim to edit it openn [03:01] it doesnt work [03:01] thats why I said with "single command" [03:01] is there a cli version of network-manager, similar to system-config-network-cli? [03:02] openn, put the command inside a bash script or try putting it in quotes [03:02] (not the sudo bit, the rest) [03:02] samsonowicz: Not sure why it do not reslve your public ip, but: http://pastebin.com/kBs1y5J6 [03:02] k [03:03] Onlyodin: yea its sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces lol [03:04] Jokn, not quite what I was thinking, but true enough ;) [03:04] samsonowicz: strange indeed [03:05] qin: yeah, when i nmap my ip for that udp port it does discover it too [03:05] Onlyodin: wicd has wicd-curses which is an awesome cli network manager tool [03:05] samsonowicz: On local or public ip? [03:06] qin: public [03:06] qin: yet trying to connect to the game server on that public ip and port times out. [03:06] so [03:07] How can I echo something to /etc/resolv.conf [03:07] samsonowicz: What dns are you using? /etc/resolv.conf ? [03:08] openn: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf will be easier [03:08] dudes...disney digital copy blows [03:08] samsonowicz: Well do not make sense, since you can see port. [03:08] ActionParsnip: :P but then I have to write manually [03:08] anyone know of a way of playing this crap? [03:08] qin: nameserver 192.168.1.1 [03:08] echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf [03:08] this works [03:08] but ofc im not gonna use google dns ;) [03:08] openn: openn use any dns ou like, there are many [03:09] Hello to all! I need help with installation of Windows in a system with two versions of Ubuntu. I can't WINE programs effectively. VirtualBox is acting pathetically. I have two ext4 partitions, one with Ubuntu 10.XX. I simply want to erase this and install Windows without destroying my current Ubuntu 11.XX partition, which I use for non-Windows tasks. What are my steps to make sure Windows Vista 7 doesn't overwrite everything and leave me with [03:09] out a boot mechanism? [03:09] samsonowicz: I think you could test it with and public dns. [03:09] I'm talking about partitions and the boot loader which gives you an option of which operating system(s) to choose? [03:09] *any [03:10] dzeremis: when you install, tell windows to format the current ntfs partition and install to it. You WILL need to reinstate grub2 to the MBR as windows will blindly overwrite it with its own [03:10] qin: how? [03:10] dzeremis: Just set Windows to format and install on the proper partition, you'll need to reinstall grub afterwards [03:11] ActionParsnip and Polah: Thank you very much. That is exactly what I suspected. I do not use Windows habitually on its own partition. So, Windows, in its arrogance, WILL let me select which partition to install on, and all I need to do is reinstall GRUB? [03:11] ActionParsnip: I created an alias but I have a problem now, since openvpn command leaves terminal open it cannot perform the last command, is there a way to do this? [03:11] samsonowicz: Wait, it do not make sense, since your paste have shown domain and ip. Thinking. [03:11] ActionParsnip and Polah: speaking of which, what is the easiest way for me to reinstall grub2? [03:11] dzeremis: If you dd if=/dev/sda of=grubbackup bs=446 count=1 you'll end up with a file of your grub install from the mbr. You can reinstate that later using dd if=grubbackup of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1. You'll still need to update though to pick up Windows [03:11] https://plus.google.com/115895054477394715961/posts/84KCPX2xgUh [03:11] Anyone know why my non-root users in a chroot'd Ubuntu can't get DNS resolving [03:12] Anyone know why my non-root users in a chroot'd Ubuntu can't get DNS resolving [03:12] zahh: you forgot to copy resolv.conf to the chroot? [03:12] !repeat [03:12] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:12] roothorick: my root user can resolve [03:12] zahh: resolv.conf not world-readable? [03:12] dzeremis: use liveCD and you can chroot to install it [03:12] if I ping google.com as root it works, non-root no dice [03:12] Polah: I'm not so advanced a user. I can type in Terminal instructions, but once Windows is installed and has wiped out my boot loader, I don't know what to do... [03:13] zahh: firewall [03:13] roothorick: its -rw-r--r-- [03:13] ActionParsnip: That's a good idea. chroot --> what to get to that point? what to do? That's a great idea, as I'd have access to a Terminal. [03:13] openn: hmm Ill look into that [03:13] this room is a bit more lively as opposed to the last one [03:13] dzeremis: there are guides online [03:14] how can I perform a command leaving terminal open and perform another command in another window or in background? [03:14] dzeremis: do the first dd command in a terminal before install windows and you'll end up with a file name grubbackup in whatever directory you were in when you ran the command (probably your home), then after you install windows you'll need to boot a LiveCD, use the second dd command to reinstate GRUB and then update GRUB to do so. Or you could do a clean install of GRUB. [03:14] ActionParsnip: Would you please direct me to one? I'm a little bit like a deer in the headlights right now, a temporary condition. I'm just making a plan so that after I install Windows, I'll know what to do. [03:14] Im trying to mount a win7 share onto my ubuntu machine using smbmount. I can get the mount working, but all files/dir get the ownership root:root when I want them to be user:user I have tried using -o uid=user gid=user but have no luck (obviously I replace user with my username) [03:14] openn: sounds like you want to put an ampersand after the command [03:15] Polah: Which do you think is easiest for a person who feels a bit like a deer in the headlights tonight: not my normal clarity. A little dazed for no reason. [03:15] gaelfx: sry, what is that? [03:15] openn: & [03:15] side luancher bar or unity wont auto hide when windows are in full screen, any help? [03:16] dzeremis: trust me, they are all over the place. Just search for: reinstall grub2 ubuntu live cd and take your pick [03:16] gaelfx: brb [03:16] Polah: I'm willing to do any of them. Just so long as I pick the one I can do most easily. I want to get off of here and go fry my previous Ubuntu installation in favor of functioning Windows and be sure I know EXACTLY how to return home to Ubuntu afterward. [03:16] ActionParsnip: Okay. I will go look. [03:16] dzeremis: dd and then update-grub but it does require you to be careful since using it you can damage your partition table which would be irretrievable [03:16] samsonowicz: So, in M$, connecting to game with public ip from lan works? That would mean that address is translated to lans ip, but not certain how to set it, few minutes. [03:16] Polah: Thank you. ActionParsnip and Polah: I will remain connected while I look online. [03:16] dzeremis: You can always boot a LiveCD (which you'll need to do anyway to fix GRUB) and come back here for help later [03:16] openn : if you put the ampersand after a command, it will run in background and you can still do other things in terminal [03:17] Polah: that would be extremely helpful. Would you be connected for a while? [03:17] be..te [03:17] knoppies: uid and gid need group IDs, i.e. numeric values not user or group names [03:18] dzeremis, here is grub2, if you have the same cd you installed with follow this default the chroot method is below https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files [03:18] Polah, ok, I will try that. the man page for smbmount (which actually gives me the man page for mount.cifs) implies that since version 1.10 you can use non-numeric form. [03:18] Polah: Okay. Just a moment while I investigate this and come to an understanding. I will be right back. [03:19] knoppies: Hmm, I don't know if you can but numeric IDs should work [03:19] How do I (easily) find the uid and gid of my current user? [03:19] uid=1000 I take it that is a default. [03:20] urlin2u: Oops. I made a mistake. Thanks to you. Polah, ActionParsnip, I will report back. Thank you again, urlin2u. [03:20] same with gid, thanks Polah [03:20] side luancher bar or unity wont auto hide when windows are in full screen, any help? [03:20] jam120992, Im sorry but I do not use unity. [03:21] qin: yeah, i'm not sure if it translates it to localhost, though. i'm just trying to connect like that to test wheter my server is available on the public ip. i think it doesn't listen on the public ip at all, it doesn't seem to show up on the masterserver list. on win 7 it did, though. i don't know, maybe there's some specific setting on the linux build that i need to set... [03:21] ok anyone else who can help? [03:22] Polah, they are still root:root even my ro (read only) option is ignored. It is almost as if it reads user= and then ignores the rest. [03:22] jam120992: it's a setting in ccsm [03:22] samsonowicz: what game is it? [03:22] jam120992: compiz, unity settings should try dodge windows [03:22] qin: skulltag. [03:22] knoppies: What's the command you're using [03:23] jam120992: install compizconfig-settings-manager and run: ccsm you can configure unity there [03:23] sudo mount.cifs //Q6600.local/Backup /media/q6600/Backup -o user=$auth uid=1000 gid=1000 ro [03:24] Polah, $auth is my username and password for the share on the windows machine. [03:24] knoppies: you want commans between the options, not spaces afaik [03:25] ActionParsnip, thank you. [03:25] I thought it would be something simple. [03:25] ActionParsnip: thank you, installing now [03:25] knoppies: Yes, -o user=$auth,uid=1000,gid=1000,ro [03:25] knoppies: perhaps those username's will work now too [03:26] Polah, I will give it a try. Let me try the numbers first. [03:26] knoppies: try adding username=User,password=UsersPassword instead of user=$auth [03:26] qin: when the server starts it gives this ouput: http://pastebin.com/3ByyMHzT i think it's correct... [03:26] ActionParsnip, $auth=user%pass [03:27] qin: i'm gonna reboot to win 7 and check what's the output when starting the server there. [03:27] knoppies: I see, you can also do it with a credentials file http://rockpenguin.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/ubuntu-and-mountcifs/ [03:27] ActionParsnip, I noticed that in the man page while trying to fix these permissions. I might do that. Thank you. [03:29] ActionParsnip, Polah. It now works. Thank you. Im going to give non-numeric uid/gid and credentials file a try. [03:29] samitheb1rber: That would be easier to find someone on DALnet with slient to test server.

Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.

[03:32] Hello - Anyone know what boot parameter (if any) I can use to stop a mouse from constantly snapping back to the center of the screen during a LiveCD session? [03:33] I can't get usb-creator to work with my Seagate external HDD, when I boot it I get a very ambiguous "Boot error" and nothing else pops up [03:34] roothorick: did you MD5 test the ISO you tranferred? [03:34] ActionParsnip: the same ISO worked with a thumb drive, but that was way too slow [03:34] WeberEInc: is it a mouse, or is it a touchpad on a laptop? [03:34] roothorick: could try unetbootin [03:34] ActionParsnip: It is an optical USB mouse [03:35] WeberEInc, That might be something you can change using the mouse/touchpad settings rather than a boot parameter. I dont know much about boot parameters, sorry. [03:35] WeberEInc: tried a different usb port? [03:35] Knoppies: Without control of the mouse - how can I cange any settings... I can't get up to the menu! [03:35] roothorick: should still MD5 test the ISO too, so you know for sure all is well [03:35] Im not sure after unity, but you could ALT-F1 [03:35] ActionParsnip: I'm starting to think it's something to do with the hard drive itself. It seems to be confusing gparted... [03:35] ActionpParsnip: Yep - tried both front and back USB ports [03:36] WeberEInc, I am not sure with unity, but you can try ALT-F1 [03:36] WeberEInc: tried unplugging and replugging back in as well? [03:36] somsip: Yep... the mouse just snaps back to center of the screen after any movement attempt [03:36] WeberEInc: ok - worth asking [03:36] i have problems with the audio controller(PANEL) pulse audio aqualizer deactivate himself also [03:36] i have audio [03:37] but i cant control it [03:37] WeberEInc, Does the machine you are using have a trackpad/touchpad/ or one of those drawing tablets? (maybe its a touchscreen?) [03:37] Hello [03:37] !hi [03:38] In the middle of some stuff in the road to installing Windows. Is there any way for me to reach my Ubuntu 10.XX partition under Ubuntu 11.XX? All I want to do is make sure there aren't any files worth keeping while trying to avoid having to reboot and log in. [03:38] In Ubuntu how do I unzip a a zip file? [03:38] Okay... got the inspiron wireless thing worked out... now I have to figure out how to make it permanent... by running sudo modprobe b43 it activates the wireless.... but i have to do this each time I log on... How to fix? [03:38] unzip filenames.zip segnato [03:38] .w 30 [03:38] thanks [03:39] no prob [03:39] WeberEInc, I assume the issue lies in a setting somewhere. It is almost as if your mouse is set to an absolute position rather than a relative one. There might be something you can run in the terminal to change the setting. Not sure what though. [03:39] dzeremis: no, windows is too primitive to access advanced linux filesystems [03:40] dzeremis: you can use an ubuntu liveCD and access the files just fine [03:40] aggressive much, ActionParsnip ? [03:40] WeberEInc: do you use anything in Wine? [03:40] Nach0z: not agressive, just stating facts. Windows is garbage [03:40] ActionParsnip: er, have you seen what NTFS is capable of? [03:40] ActionParsnip: I mean, right now, while I am in Ubuntu 11.XX, can I access my other partition, containing solely Ubuntu 10.XX? I haven't started installing Windows yet. I just wanted to copy files over without logging into Ubuntu 10.XX if necessary. Seems a waste of time. [03:40] roothorick: in what sense? [03:41] I'll have to download a LiveCD. I don't have a current one but have a current 11.04 disc. [03:41] ActionParsnip: Ext2Fsd (You too dzeremis) you can use this to mount EXT2 and EXT3 partitions in Windows [03:41] ActionParsnip: NTFS can do pretty much anything ext3 can, and then some [03:41] dzeremis, yes you should be able to. Are they separate partitions on the same drive? [03:41] dzeremis, yes, mount it and copy away [03:41] dzeremis: yes both can access ext4 so you can access it just fine :) [03:41] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and now my RT8185 is not working or connecting ActionParsnip any suggestion? [03:41] I'm new to linux and trying to navigate filesystems with the terminal. [03:41] ActionParsnip: I can't speak of ext4 since I don't know exactly what they added [03:41] roothorick: yes, including fragment heavily [03:41] I created a folder but when I try to navigate to it it says no such file or directory [03:41] I am following the tutorial here: http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/install-and-run-joomla-on-ubuntu/ [03:41] Well the Alt-F1 got me to the menus, but none of the mouse setting changes had any effect... it must be a boot action I need [03:42] knoppies, Polah, and ActionParsnip: :-) Yes, two ext4 partitions containing pure Linux on the same drive. I'm just not sure where to go to mount the sucker (the other partition containing 10.XX.) ^_^ Thanks all you you! [03:42] and it tells me to use tar xvjf to unpack a zip file [03:42] but its not working... [03:42] segnato: unzip for a zip file. tar xjf for .bz2 [03:42] dzeremis, mount - ext4 -o defaults /dev/sdX /media/blah [03:42] sabrion, you on a live cd, it should be working. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_Internet_access [03:42] dzeremis, ls /dev/ and see if you can see something like sda sda1 sda2 sda3 (it might be hda or something too) [03:43] dzeremis, replace sdX as necessary and change blah to whatever you want to name the mount point [03:43] the sound indicator applet does not let me manage my volumen [03:43] was just in here asking about how to auto hide unity luancher bar. i played with the compizconfig with all the setting and unity will still not auto hide, any other sugestions ? [03:43] knoppies: I just read a post you wrote that I missed... YES! This machine has an input for a touchscreen (a SmartBoard actually!) I'll bet if I remove that connection, I will get the mouse! I'm gonna try that now! [03:43] urlin2u, I"m on a full install.... And base live wasn't working all that well. [03:43] sda, sda1-3, sda5, no hdas. [03:43] sda, sda1-3, sda5, no hdas. (knoppies) [03:44] dzeremis, and if they are separate HDDs then you might have sdb sdb1 sdb2 as well? [03:44] so xvj will unzip it? [03:44] sabrion, take alook at the link it may have some info if you haven't used it already. [03:44] jam120992: try dodge windows did u [03:44] plus pulse audio equalizer,i keep cheking the EQ enable,,and keep uncheking itself [03:44] jam120992: autohide is the default. or are you having issues with fullscreen apps and the panel? [03:44] jam120992: http://ubuntu-install.blogspot.com/2011/04/make-unity-bar-autohide-itself.html [03:44] jam120992: if that fails, set it to not hide, then hide again: http://peterpants.blogspot.com/2011/04/ubuntu-1104-unity-how-to-disable-unity.html [03:44] WeberEInc, glad I could help. I hope that works. You might need to try tweek the smart board settings. [03:45] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and now my RT8185 is not working or connecting yet it worked ok on 10.04 ActionParsnip or any other Ubuntu Support Staff suggestions I should take? [03:45] Knoppies: ActionParsnip: Well - that is it... I just tried moving the mouse via the smart board, and sure enough... the mouse moves... The driver can't handle both inputs it appears. [03:45] i have sound,and the driver,,i tried all,,followung troubleshooting in ubuntu pages [03:45] segnato: if you nistall unp, you can unzip EVERYTHING with a single command [03:45] knoppies: I've got just one hard drive. According to Partition Magic (eureka), I've got sda1, my Ubuntu 10.XX partition, sda2 + sda5 (swap space or something), and sda3 (the partition I'm currently in.) Odd numbering system. So, I guess I'll just Terminal and try to mount sda1 [03:45] yes [03:45] Thanks all! [03:45] hi [03:46] jamiewan,ActionParsnip: i have tried that and the other options the side luancher bar will still sit on top of any window open and never hides, will try the links u posted [03:46] is just the applet [03:46] dzeremis, yes, I recommend you mount it in mkdir/media/somename and then mount it to /media/somename [03:46] WeberEInc: least you have a cause. Is there a switch to disable the pad? [03:46] dzeremis: the numbering is that way because primary partitions are always sda1-4, exteneded partitions are sda5+ [03:46] dzeremis, sorry, I should have formulated that sentence better. [03:46] Question: All my non-root users are getting no access to anything that involves "Socket" [03:46] gaelfx, thanks for that. I always wondered why. [03:46] jam120992: all I can do is websearch, just like you can. I don't use unity personally [03:47] I'm getting "Permission Denied" for ping, browsers etc. [03:47] knoppies: no problem [03:47] knoopies: Dear, helpful friend, I am still limited in my understanding of Terminal code. Could you suggest a string of commands to do that? [03:47] zahh: what groups is one of the problem users in? [03:47] dzeremis: it's that way because you can only have 4 primary partitions on a single drive [03:47] gaelfx: Thanks for letting me know. Cool nick. [03:47] its just a fresh new user [03:47] * ActionParsnip gasps at his own grammar [03:47] zahh: irrelevant, what groups is it in? [03:47] knoppies: No worrying about sentence formulation. I have a flexible understanding of English. Are you a native English speaker or something more interesting? [03:47] ok thanks, seems like alot of people who use ubuntu alot dont like unity. i like it but it seems to be buggy [03:47] where are the grammarnazis when you need them? [03:48] his own and one called aid_inet [03:48] gaelfx: indeed [03:48] we're on strink [03:48] dzeremis, mkdir /media/name; mount - ext4 -o defaults /dev/sdX /media/name [03:48] @gaelfx: right here [03:48] :D [03:48] zahh: that's why then [03:48] jam120992: its a work in progress [03:48] dzeremis, you can change name for anything you like. [03:48] *strike. tf is a strink [03:48] urlin2u, no new info... I need a way to make step five permanent. [03:48] dzeremis, you will probably need to put sudo in front of both of those commands. [03:48] ActionParsnip: what is it [03:48] zahh: my user (andy) is in: andy adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [03:48] lws: hopto! there's poor grammar gallavanting around here [03:48] hmm [03:48] * dzeremis is from a European-American immigrant family and speaks with a light Native American accent from early childhood exposure to paternal family members. I can pass as both Eastern European and Native in one breath and also as an American. [03:49] which one is required for internet/socket access [03:49] zahh: add it to those groups (not the admin group if you don't want the users to have sudo access etc) and it should be ok [03:49] dzeremis, English is the only language that I can speak (ok, I can do a little bash too). I was just chopping and changing the sentence as I was writing it, so it came out a bit scrambled. [03:49] dr-willis: whens the next update? and why the lack of support for nividea ? [03:49] knoppies: sudo mkdir ....? [03:49] @gaelfx: sadly, I'm at work fixing grammar in reports written by people with english as a second language [03:49] dzeremis, yes, and then sudo mount the ; separates the two commands. [03:49] English and ok French. I can ask for Booze in a lot of langages :) [03:49] got quite enough of that :( [03:49] sabrion, you look in System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers [03:49] Anyone? Auto init of b43 driver. Similar to the sudo modprobe b43 command? [03:49] knoppies: nothing wrong with speaking only English. I don't know what I'd be like if I let my grammar slide. It'd be a very interesting situation! [03:50] knoppies: Okay, let me try this... [03:50] jam120992: be a bit more clear.. my nvudia works fine. [03:50] sabrion: add the line: b43 in the file /etc/modules and it wil load at boot [03:50] ActionParsnip, Thanks! Glad to be done with this! [03:50] dzeremis, rememer to change th sdX for sda1 (I cannot remember what yours was called) [03:50] jam120992: next release is in oct i belive [03:50] mine happens to be on the blacklist [03:50] dzeremis, and now I am missing keys. [03:50] i think 7200 or 7400 gforce [03:51] dr-willis: releases are always in April and October, hence it's always *.04 or *.10 ;) [03:51] TESTING! [03:51] sabrion: received [03:51] oh ok thanks [03:51] gaelfx: Now 6.06 feels left out ): [03:51] saba: woo hoo wireless [03:51] knoppies: sda1. Can you give me a verbatim command line sequence to enter, please? Is it just sudo mount...? You might want to just give me the commands again. PLEASE. I'm afraid to make a mistake until my mental fog blows over (it is in the process of it.) [03:52] * dzeremis is missing the W key, like the Bush White House after the Clintons left, supposedly! [03:52] sabrion: woo hoo wireless [03:52] Polah: ah, different times :D [03:52] dzeremis, brb, phone [03:52] dzeremis: what are you trying to do? [03:52] knoppies: okay. EVERYONE ELSE? sudo mkdir /media/name, THEN sudo mount - ext4 -o defaults /dev/sdX /media/name [03:52] dzeremis, sudo mkdir /media/name && sudo mount -t ext4 -o defaults /dev/sda1 /media/name change name if you want [03:52] some one wget http://darkinfo.org/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso [03:52] lws: Simply mount my other partition to grab data off of it before I wipe it clean. [03:53] and tell me what speed they get [03:53] Polah: thanks. [03:53] dzeremis: does nautilus just mount it for you automagically? [03:53] dezeremis: Polah's command will be fine [03:53] bugzs: why that url? [03:53] dzeremis, sudo mkdir /media/name; sudo mount - ext4 -o defaults /dev/sda1 /media/name (not sure on that, but I have to pick my brother up, will be back in 15min) [03:53] bugzs: 200KB/s, which is my maximum. [03:53] becauses its my server [03:53] knoppies: okay, thanks, friend. [03:53] ActionParsnip: I'm checking. Just a moment. [03:54] bugzs: about 50k/sec [03:54] ActionParsnip, Worked! Danke. Thanks for trying urlin2u. [03:54] bugzs: bursting at 5Mb/sec which is normal [03:54] dzeremis: that doesn't look like good mount usage to me [03:54] bugzs: why not just use torrents, much faster and more reliable [03:54] dzeremis, oops, my mistake I think it is supposed to be sudo mount -t ext4 -o defaults /dev/sda /media/name [03:54] dzeremis, bbsoon [03:54] ActionParsnip: all I see is UBUNTU and FILE SYSTEM. They appear to be the same thing. Nothing changes between them. [03:55] bugzs: 450k [03:55] dzeremis: "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/name" should do it [03:55] -o defaults is the default. [03:55] dooglus: Thanks for your input. [03:55] knoppies: /dev/sda is the whole device, not the partition? [03:55] knoppies: Thanks a lot! [03:55] waiting for sound system to respond is all i get when cliking on sound preferences on indicator applet [03:55] dooglus: Just the other ext4 partition. [03:55] dooglus, yes, oops, I meant sda1 [03:55] knoppies: Not /dev/sda, that's the entire drive, requires sda1 for a partition [03:55] dzeremis, I meant sda1 [03:55] thanks Polah I mean sda1 [03:55] knoppies: Got ya. [03:56] * dzeremis is going to have to try one of these. Which one to choose...? (Appreciating all the help.) [03:56] dzeremis: the -o and -t shouldn't be necessary [03:56] dzeremis: do "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/name" and see what happens. check with "mount" to see how it mounted [03:56] dzeremis: Mine and knoppies are the same, except mine makes /media/name and mounts it all on one line whereas knoppies makes the location and then mounts it afterwards [03:57] does my problem have a solution or not,i dont want to waste my time here beggin for help,or a simple answer [03:57] dooglus: Always good to specify the file system and options just so you ensure you're getting what you want [03:57] w 41 [03:57] Linda-007, waiting in here for a response and asking every 10 minutes or so while you go other things isn't a waste of time (: [03:58] thats how it works [03:58] hi all [03:58] Polah, dooglus, knoppies: I tried sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/U10 . It asked me password. I put in passwd. Said the mount point /media/U10 does not exist. So I have to mkdir somehow? [03:58] * dzeremis scrolls up to look at previous code [03:58] dzeremis: Did you do sudo mkdir /media/U10? [03:58] dzeremis: yes, sudo mkdir /nt/U10 [03:59] Okay, just did that. This is beginning to make sense to me again as my brain fog is clearing. [03:59] dzeremis: gah, * /media/U10 [03:59] I am now trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 [03:59] double check it was made [03:59] why do i need 10.10 CD ? [03:59] i have all day asking,,im sorry im going crazy here :( [03:59] should I get it done with internet only ? [03:59] Polah, lws: just created U10. [03:59] dzeremis: now try sudo mount ... [04:00] linocisco: its doable either way [04:00] Now, should I try mounting to it again? sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/U10 [04:00] dzeremis: if the mount command works, ls -al /media/U10 should show you the contents of your drive [04:00] dzeremis, yes try mounting again [04:00] altcd can work as a upgrade midium [04:00] No complaints in Terminal. No feedback. Let me look if it worked. [04:00] dzeremis: so try the mount comand and report back [04:00] as my CD drive is not working [04:01] how could I do ? [04:01] lws Polah: already did. ls -al /media/U10 shows up with expected folders. It might show up in Nautilis, if that's what it's called, spelling approx. I'm checking. [04:01] linocisco: you just need the alt cd iso to mount... or.. just upgrade via the internet.. [04:02] !upgrade [04:02] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:02] ActionParsnip, are you even answering my question? [04:02] dzeremis, if ls works then it'll show up in Nautilus unless Nautilus is broken [04:02] dzeremis: well done, you can now get to it via nautilus [04:02] dzeremis: just browse to /media/U10 and carry on as usual [04:02] If i upgrade my sistem,will the sound indicator applet start responding ? [04:02] lws Polah: Now "HD icon" UBUNTU shows as mounted. File System does not have that icon. They show the same thing. But wait! Can I go to my /home/ folder from this? It comes up with some cop-out files, not my actual data. [04:03] lws: Oh, okay. Momento. [04:03] dzeremis, after you've installed Windows you might consider editing your fstab to mount your windows partition automatically so you can access data on there without manually mounting it on your Ubuntu system. Of course, vice versa on Windows you'll need to download and install some cool software to access your ext4 Ubuntu partition [04:04] lws: Thank you. Well, I can't get into /home files. Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop. Hm... [04:04] Polah: Yes, I was thinking that it might make sense to reorganize my partition situation. [04:05] dzeremis, encrypted your home directory [04:05] Polah: not intentionally. I see no visible differences between each partition, if both of them are mounted properly. I'm about to try manually mounting the current partition, NOT sda1, and see what I see. [04:06] dzeremis, it's an option you can select during install to encrypt users' home directories [04:07] Polah: That's probably a smart idea. Well, I manually mounted sda1 and sda3. I see no visible differences, and I wasn't heavily invested in 10.04. I think I might as well go log into 10.04 very quickly, get GRUB or LiveCD ready, or both, install Windows, and get back #ubuntu. [04:08] May I ask is RT8185 supported on Ubuntu 11.04 anyone :)? [04:08] * dzeremis thinks all of you have been wonderfully helpful and supportive. [04:08] it is still asking for CD [04:09] * dzeremis has just found out that the previous chat history about GRUB is deleted. Yah... [04:09] Arcademan, look here: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true [04:09] hi... I have a a wireless USB modem (internet working) and a model which has wifi broadcasting service (Internet not working).Can I link my both modems so that the modem withot internet can broadcast signals of USB modem ? [04:13] Polah: all right, my mind is feeling better. Not totally clear, but much better. I can think. To reinstall GRUB after Windows, can I quickly prepare a GRUB reinstall CD or should I download a LiveCD before I go install Windows? I will report back to #ubuntu regardless, but I'm looking for the quickest way at the moment: the smartest way. And then, another time, I'll get to work on improving my partition situation after Windows is installed, as [04:13] discussed. [04:13] AAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA -_- [04:14] hmm [04:14] dzeremis: I don't know about any specific CDs for reinstalling GRUB but a LiveCD/USB I could help you with. === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest22508 [04:15] Polah: Okay. Then I think it makes the most sense for me to go ahead and download a LiveCD or USB, so I can be in touch with you here in the channel when I reinstall GRUB after Windows. [04:15] tooo quiet, who died? [04:15] will anyone plz help me ? [04:16] Singham: what do you need help with? [04:16] gaelfx: I don't know! We were so robust for a little while. [04:16] gaelfx: I don't know! We were so robust for a little while. [04:16] Polah : I have a a wireless USB modem (internet working) and a modem which has wifi broadcasting service (Internet not working).Can I link my both modems so that the modem withot internet can broadcast signals of USB modem ? [04:17] * dzeremis so appreciates the help he has received and is going to take a short break while the LiveCD downloads. I'll be back. [04:18] Singham: That's called a wireless bridge. You'd need to configure the broadcaster to function as a bridge and your network connection to recognise that. I can't help you do it though, sorry. [04:19] : So where should I ask for it ? Any idea ? [04:19] Singham: Here for the connection part, #networking on how to set up the bridge perhaps [04:20] : Thanks.. :) [04:20] !ics [04:20] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [04:23] * dzeremis has a different problem in the meantime. [04:23] hello all...is there a email program that will let you look at emails on the server without downloading them? It does not seem that thunderbird does that [04:23] lapaga: it does, but you have to change the settings for imap [04:24] lapaga: and also make sure you're using imap, not pop [04:24] http://imagebin.org/170508,,,,i cant control my audio volumen in pannel any more since few hours back,does any one have any information to share about this matter [04:24] gaelfx: I think my isp is only pop but not positive - will look into it [04:25] I just realized: I can't get into any of my stuff through Nautilis (sp?) I enabled root the other day for something and now it won't let me do anything under my usual user, not even open my flash drive. What do I do to fix this? Yuck! === PuffTheMagic is now known as CheebaHawk [04:25] lapaga: IMAP is the key to that, as far as I know. Thunderbird can do IMAP. After that, I'm no expert in the options. If you are going to be looking at an e-mail, it is going to get downloaded to your computer in some fashion, because that is how it can be visible to you. But IMAP doesn't download all of them like POP. [04:25] lapaga: yeah, if it's pop only, then I think you kind of have to download them, but you should be able to set it up so that it doesn't delete the emails from the server after it downloads them [04:25] Evolution, the default client can use IMAP too [04:25] lapaga gaelfx Setting it up so it doesn't delete them on the server is an excellent idea. [04:26] Of course, to view them requires downloading anyway. Do you want the client to not delete them from the server or not store them locally? [04:26] Any of you guys have any idea why it won't open my flash drive? The thing is not corrupt. It should work. [04:26] *USB memory stick [04:26] It won't mount. [04:27] dzeremis: actually, I think it can just keep the subjects of the email without downloading the actual content until you want to view it, and then it flushes the data once you close it. Could be wrong though [04:27] Not automatically, not manually through "Nautilis." I bet it won't let me unless I go root. This is really silly. [04:27] hi [04:27] softwares is failing to get translations [04:27] dzeremis, now you know why we tell people not to use their root accounts (: [04:27] gaelfx: dzeremis Polah well to be honest not sure...I have it set to save on server but in the windows program I use one of the options is to view but not download...would like something like that [04:27] why is that? [04:27] lapaga: What do you use in Windows? [04:28] gaelfx: You're right there in some way. That all sounds very familiar. IMAP downloads the subject of e-mails but not necessarily the content. You can probably set a program to flush it. I think you're right. [04:28] Polah: well my wife likes incredimail so that is what I use:) [04:28] you can set email clients to download only the headers... [04:28] dzeremis: it's been too long since I actually set up an email client, I'm totally rusty [04:28] Polah: I guess I just learned why. :-) There was some reason I enabled it before, to create a directory in /opt. Can I turn it off. [04:28] ? [04:29] gaelfx This is something I'm rather good at. I don't read books on it, but I can usually intuit or troubleshoot my way through it. I was setting up Thunderbird for my Gmail account last night. [04:29] dzeremis: I don't think disabling it will fix your problems, but doing sudo passwd -l root will lock the account again [04:30] Polah speaking of which, Thunderbird was the reason I enabled my root account. I was trying to install it manually, something I didn't know how to do, and following tutorials. [04:30] ActionParsnip: yes that is how I have it set up now...just was wondering if there was a way to just view them on the server ...seems safer unless of course my head is under a rock and that is not actually happening [04:30] dzeremis, in future, when you want to do things as root (i.e. make a directory in opt) use sudo, don't enable and log in under root. [04:30] Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main TranslationIndex [04:30] dzeremis: Again, use sudo for that [04:30] why is it failing to download?? [04:30] Polah Ouch, and my Ubuntu 11.04 install was working so well. [04:30] dzeremis: Not sure why you'd try and install it manually either when it's in the repos [04:30] Polah: for some reason, it would not allow me to do it, even with sudo. I simply had to become root for it to let me. [04:31] Guest26025, you're the one getting the error messages, you tell us and then we can help you fix it [04:31] dzeremis: sudo runs the command as root. [04:31] Polah: Stubbornness, I guess. Ubuntu Software Center downloaded a really old version of it. It took me some time to get to 6.0. I wanted to learn how to install things manually anyway. [04:31] Polah: it just fails o get translation packages from repositories [04:32] Polah: I have no idea why it would not work, but it said, "Not authorized" until I enabled root. [04:32] dzeremis: You have to prepend every command to run as root with sudo, not just put it at the start of the line or only once. You can use sudo -i to get an extended login as root and run commands through that until you exit [04:33] русские есть тут [04:33] Polah: don't know why, don't know how, don't know. [04:33] Ya govaru neminoga po-russky, dolka neminoga, ex-demon. [04:33] Ya lietuvis-amerikanits. [04:33] !ru | ex-demon [04:33] ex-demon: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [04:33] Guest26025, oh, it's ignoring that repo. You'll need to enable it by uncommenting in /etc/apt/sources.list or through System > Administration > Software sources [04:34] dzeremis: Most strange and broken [04:35] Polah: I dunno. I did what you said. It says, "passwd: password expiry information changed." Is this what we want? [04:35] dzeremis, I think so, yes. [04:36] Why on earth did ex-demon come in here and advertise in Russian I only partially understood the existance of #ubuntu-ru? There have to be hundreds of Russian speakers in there. I am a Lithuanian descendant who is a U.S. citizen. We were under Russian occupation historically. #ubuntu-lt gets very little foot traffic. [04:36] Polah : Let me see if I can get into my flash drive. Odd side effect. [04:36] now on to something out of the blue...does the fact that kernel.org was possibly compromised have anything to do with our updates? [04:37] Polah : I just tried to "eject" the drive and it said Daemon is inhibited. HUH? [04:37] dzeremis: sudo unmount [04:37] then unplug it and plug it back in [04:38] Lemme try. I'm just confused why the GUI version wasn't working. I'm not sure it mounted to start with. But I'll go try and report back in just a moment. [04:38] Well unplug it and plug it back in anyway [04:39] Polah: it's repositories related with translations [04:39] Polah : for sudo unmount, it said that sudo: unmount: command not found. Plugging it back in after pulling it out didn't help. Am I going to have to manually mount and unmount everything? [04:40] Twelve minutes left on the LiveCD... [04:40] dzeremis, umount NOT unmount [04:40] dzeremis, hopefully not. Also, my mistake, the command for unmounting is umount [04:40] My error in reading. Much obliged. A moment. [04:40] No, I put unmount the first time [04:41] Neither one works. It's not finding it. I'm using sda and sda1, how it shows up in Partition Magic, which is still open in the background. Won't mount or umount? [04:41] Wb ShapeShifter499 [04:41] Guest26025, like I said you need to enable the PPA through /etc/apt/sources.list or Software Sources. [04:41] http://darkinfo.org/phpsysinfo/ :P [04:41] Can't find /sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Same to /sdb1. [04:42] Huh... [04:42] ParkerR, hey [04:42] dzeremis, sdb would be a second hard drive [04:42] dzeremis: Good luck with your strange broken root and mounting problems, I'm sure someone else can help you better than me with that. [04:42] dzeremis, I thought that /etc/fstab used UUID or something, rather than /dev/* [04:42] Good night everyone [04:42] good night Polah, and thanks a lot. [04:42] knoppies: It can use UUIDs, device names, labels and probably one or two other things [04:43] Polah, do you know how to add an SMB location such as //q6600.local/Backup to it? [04:43] Polah, I'm confused. I dunno. We'll see. It might fix itself. Good night and thank you for all the help! [04:43] knoppies: Welcome back! [04:43] <[THC]AcidRain> is there a way to remove the most recent update to a package? [04:43] knoppies: It's possible but I don't know exactly how. [04:43] dzeremis, thank you. [04:43] Polah, thanks again. [04:43] knoppies: Of course. I'm glad you got home safely. [04:44] dzeremis, sorry I took so long. I was trying to find the air leak in a tire, but none of our containers are big enough to put it in. [04:44] knoppies: Here you go http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ [04:44] knoppies: It's all right. You do what you have to do. Thanks for the link. Let me look... [04:45] /server/sharename /mount/location smbfs [04:45] sorry, //server/shareame [04:45] So you'd do //q6600.local/Backup /media/Backupshare smbfs , set options dump and pass as you see fit and change /media/Backupshare to where you want it to go [04:46] thank you Pooze [04:46] oh, nvm he logged out. Sorry Pooze [04:47] knoppies: Thanks very much for that link, which I will use. In the end, after quasi-success mounting and realizing that my personal files under 10.04 were encrypted, I opted for the LiveCD route, so I could reenable GRUB with you guys present. That is my goal for the evening, other than installing Windows. [04:47] dzeremis, I always install windows before linux (if I duel boot) so I have never needed to fix GRUB before. [04:47] knoppies: The LiveCD is about to be finished. I will burn it onto a fresh CD, go check out 10.04 for anything useful, and then install Windows and come back to you guys via the LiveCD to reinstall GRUB. I also appreciate your down-to-earth nature. [04:48] dzeremis, pleasure. [04:48] knoppies: Well, originally, my Windows installation tanked on this laptop so badly that I went Ubuntu-only with 10.04. Then I added 11.04, splitting the partition. Running Windows under VirtualBox OSE worked well for a little while, but now it's clear I just need an installation. [04:49] yea, I understand. [04:49] knoppies: Since I'm no longer using the 10.04 installation, the idea is simply to wipe it out. And hey: reinstalling GRUB, I learn something. The pleasure is mine. You're a nice person, pleasant to interact with. :-) [04:50] Yeah, no big deal... Just a night of learning while fixing the computer. I mainly learn when something needs to be fixed! [04:50] can any one wget http://darkinfo.org/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso testing [04:50] Okay, LiveCD ALMOST finished... [04:50] testing my webserver [04:51] So are you. dzeremis. I hope your burn goes well. [04:51] what speeds u all geting ? [04:51] bugzs: 10 minutes, 1.15M/s [04:52] nice [04:52] bugzs: Do I need to get whole iso? [04:52] yeah [04:53] i'm testing limts and what not [04:53] knoppies: I do so appreciate it. I'm about to try to burn the CD. It's nice to meet somebody else who is kind and courteous. Whatever we are, we seem to have a lot in common in personality, even over a distance. I like how you look out for your brother and are still courteous to helping me. [04:53] bugzs: 400k/sec here and climbing [04:53] bugzs: 600k/sec [04:53] bugzs: 400K/s [04:53] knoppies: A healthy attitude of people-first while still not taking care of yourself. That's kick-ass. [04:55] why my grub can't splash a image ? [04:55] dzeremis: dzeremis: deep, man, deep [04:56] knoppies: Well, I was born in Atlanta, GA and grew up in the surrounding area. I am a U.S. citizen and an American but also identify as European. I'm also from a mixed Native American cultural background on my father's side of the family. My parents migrated to ATL after college. [04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> is there any way to remove the updates of a previously updated package? [04:57] [THC]AcidRain: you mean roll back? [04:57] chen: do you use nvidia / ati gpu with proprietary driver? [04:58] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, im not sure. what do you mean by roll back? [04:58] knoppies: I've lived in the Atlanta area, Warner Robins (military town where my mother was born and I currently live), Germany near the French border, and Marin County, north of San Francisco. I identify with modern Europe but also as a European descendant, primarily Lithuanian. My grandmother was a U.S.-born Lithuanian and my mother was born in this military town with a U.S. mother of Lithuanian ethnicity at the height of the Cold War! [04:58] <[THC]AcidRain> i have an icon theme named aw0ken. and the updates are wicked stupid. i just want my computer to look how it used to. [04:58] chen: do you mean you get no plymouth splash, or did you add a background inage to grub which isn't showing? [04:58] dzeremis, anything to give you a hand. [04:59] lws: I'm a person of caring and philosophy, open-minded and also definite and specific. I'm into an attitude of benevolence toward other people. [04:59] knoppies: Thanks very much! Where are you from yourself? [04:59] [THC]AcidRain: is your problem that you just installed version 2.0.1 of something, and you want to go back to version 2.0.0? [04:59] dzeremis, do you know how to /msg? that is starting to become off topic. [04:59] how can I change my X11 keyboard layout so when I press a certain button it enters a unicode character in the same way pressing "A" enters "A" [04:59] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, yeah. but it was done through the updates. how can i roll back? [04:59] knoppies: YES, LOL, I think I do. Why don't you message me? [04:59] <[THC]AcidRain> i want to only "roll back" a single package though [04:59] dzeremis, I did. [04:59] But it's nice to make a connection. [04:59] Yes, one moment. [05:00] [THC]AcidRain: stand by while I google [05:01] [THC]AcidRain: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1719075.html [05:01] [THC]AcidRain: apparently synaptic will let you choose a particular version of a package to install [05:01] [THC]AcidRain: so just force-install the previous version [05:02] [THC]AcidRain: then next time you do a package update, choose to hold your icon theme package at the existing version instead of updating it [05:04] /j #lubuntu [05:05] hello [05:05] hi a === a is now known as Guest75127 [05:05] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, great... i cant force the version. this is gay [05:05] when adding a command to /etc/rc.local, should I add before "exit 0"? [05:05] Guest75127: yes, anything after exit 0 won't happen [05:06] :) [05:06] [THC]AcidRain: you could alternately find a copy of the old version of the package and install that manually [05:06] what risks do I run doing an apt-get dist-upgrade on ubuntu 9? [05:06] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, thx for your help sir. thats what im about to attempt to do [05:06] [THC]AcidRain: apt keeps copies of old packages, try /var/cache/apt/packages [05:06] jamescarr: ubuntu 9.10 and ubuntu 9.04 are no longer supported [05:06] jamescarr: so nothing will happen [05:07] ActionParsnip, how can I upgrade it then? [05:07] !upgrade | jamescarr [05:07] jamescarr: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:07] [THC]AcidRain: these days double clicking a .deb file in Nautilus is enough to install it, no need for terminal comands [05:07] so I cant dist-upgrade? [05:07] does ubuntuone sync run in background or i need to have its Control Panel open for proper operation? [05:07] jamescarr: you can, its a little more involved though [05:07] !eol | jamescarr [05:07] jamescarr: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [05:07] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, well i fear i wont find an old copy. its the awoken icon theme. its supported by a third party repo [05:08] [THC]AcidRain: if you've installed it previously, it will be cached on your computer [05:08] [THC]AcidRain: provided you haven't purged your package cache, that is [05:08] try something like "find /var/cache/apt | grep awoken" [05:08] I was looking at ubuntu kung fu. It looks like it was written for ubuntu 8.4. Will it still apply to 10.4. [05:09] [THC]AcidRain: acutally, make that grep -i, for "case (i)nsensitive" [05:09] <[THC]AcidRain> :) lws excellent work sir [05:10] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, and im sending an email to the developer right now [05:11] [THC]AcidRain: for what purpose? to get an old version of the package? [05:11] <[THC]AcidRain> no. to tell him how horrible this new thing is. and that i wont be accepting any more updates [05:11] <[THC]AcidRain> ive got the old package back [05:11] could someone please explain what this could mean? "System information disabled due to load higher than 1" when the cpu% and mem% don't add up to anything more than like 5-10% when i do ps aux? [05:12] why are my servers so screwed up [05:12] waaah [05:12] domino14: IO wait? [05:12] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, or at least i thought i did. its stuck on installing [05:12] domino14: i think it has to do something iwth IO yes, what does that mean? [05:12] my processes are at status D [05:12] and they just stopped writing to the log file [05:12] and hte whole computer is basically frozen [05:12] domino14: that's disk wait i think [05:13] [THC]AcidRain: sugest uninstall first, then reinstall [05:13] but what would cause a disk wait.. my processes arent that many, theyre just celery workers.. i maybe write 50 MB to disk every 3 hours or so [05:13] and old log files get deleted.. i dont understand [05:13] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, i did [05:13] [THC]AcidRain: also, before you email the developer, remember that you didn't pay anything for his work [05:13] if many workers are all writing to the same file, the OS should take care of switching who writes when, right? there shouldnt be a deadlock in writing? [05:13] [THC]AcidRain: so be polite and give constructive feedback, k? [05:13] <[THC]AcidRain> oh lol. it wasnt installing because i didnt exit senaptic [05:14] domino14: right. brb [05:14] domino14: if there are many programs writing to the same file, you have issues [05:14] <[THC]AcidRain> lws, i did. i told him that the folder icon was horrid and if i thought so then i was sure everyone else would. the folder from 2.1 was leet [05:14] hmmmm [05:14] domino14: the OS doesn't take care of file locking, beyond providing the lock() mechanisms for doing so [05:14] domino14: it's up to the application to make sure the file doesn't get trashed [05:15] lws: a supervisord process starts multiple celery workers, and it has a supervisor log. as far as i can see the outputs of the workers go to the log correctly [05:15] then after an indeterminate amount of time the entire computer just freezes [05:15] domino14: "freezes"? [05:15] domino14: as in hard lock, the magic-sysrq keys don't work? [05:15] domino14: check what's busying the disk with 'iotop' [05:16] mmmmm celery [05:16] domino14: does the hdd sound busy? [05:16] sometimes after computer is 'sleeping' the graphics just get weird and I cant nothing but REISUB :( [05:16] do [05:16] did you know that typing the word 'celery' uses more calories than you get from eating it? [05:17] even tried ctrl+alt+backspace [05:17] lol: funny enough, sometimes that happens to me while i'm playing minecraft [05:17] lol: i blame java! JAVA IS THE ROOT OF ALL OUR SINS [05:17] lol [05:17] lws: the computer is just super slow, it says system load is higher than 1, it's not writing to the log file anymore, i do a ps and i see dozens of CRON jobs (in all uppercase), pstree just hangs, a lot of operations hang [05:17] lol: THERE IS NO ESCAPE MAKE YOUR TIME, HA HA HA [05:17] dooglus: this is an AWS instance [05:17] lws: do you have the latest Java? [05:17] domino14: this is #ubuntu... [05:18] lws: no, the computer was doing anything it was just sleeping, and using blank screensaver [05:18] with password to unlock [05:18] nothing sorry [05:18] ActionParsnip: yes, latest Sun java [05:18] iotop won't do anything [05:18] Is oneiric at a point where it's reasonable to run services on it? [05:18] just hangs [05:18] ActionParsnip: i was mainly joking about java, i believe it's actually a hardware fault [05:18] how do i unscrew my server [05:19] ActionParsnip: i have strange graphical artifacts, running minecraft just happens to make the entire thing crash [05:19] I know oneiric is not released, but is it still terribly unstable? [05:19] hm! [05:19] lws: is your ram healthy? [05:19] tjoy: #ubuntu+1 [05:19] thank you [05:19] maybe screensaver is the problem, it freezes if I left computer sleeping for like 1hour or so [05:19] ActionParsnip: i've not memtested recently, no [05:19] tjoy: I've never found any prerelease of ubuntu to be unstable enough not to use [05:20] tjoy: but I guess it depends on your tolerance for problems... [05:20] fair enough [05:20] first of all why do i have like 100 CRON jobs that are just doing nothing? [05:20] tjoy: I'd probably have switched to oneric already if I could spell it [05:20] this always happens before the computer becomes completely unresponsive (can't ssh into it) [05:20] haha [05:21] I did not try ctrl+atl+f1 but maybe it would work [05:21] anything that requires read/write from disk just won't run [05:21] domino14: sounds like an application bug is causing ever-increasing disk activity until everything hangs [05:22] slt [05:22] domino14: sounds like an application bug [05:22] domino14: what software is causing the grief? [05:22] does ubuntuone sync run in background or do i need to have its Control Panel open for proper operation? [05:24] lws: i have celeryd running tasks on this machine [05:24] supervisord serves to "daemonize" it [05:24] im gonna try powersave options brb [05:25] <_sht> Has anyone here by any chance experienced strange hardware raid (even in jbod) issues where disks will disappear from the hw raid controller? [05:25] <_sht> in particular lsi raid [05:26] Can someone help me with some upstart/init.c problems? [05:26] _sht: i have that issue sometimes with illumos, a reboot usually solves it [05:26] <_sht> reboots arent acceptable to fix that :P [05:26] i've been using old, junky disks [05:26] Basically, I want to ensure that apache and mysql does NOT get started on boot. [05:26] <_sht> haha [05:26] gnomitsu: i believe ubuntu one syncs in the background [05:26] on an old, junky sas card [05:26] in an old, junky server [05:26] so for me they're acceptable [05:27] <_sht> yeah see i have all brend new stuff, and it shits the bed :) [05:27] tell it to lsi [05:27] i guess [05:27] gnomitsu: i don't actually use it though, ad the docs i'm finding aren't very illuminating - perhaps just try an experiment to answer your question? [05:27] hey ques [05:27] they generally write the drivers [05:27] whats the release you guys recommend to be installed? [05:27] sorry about the simple ques [05:27] strickly: 11.04 [05:27] but just on a hurry and wanted some advice [05:27] thats the latest stable release? [05:27] yes. [05:27] strickly: yes [05:27] ok, 32 bit better? [05:28] strickly: i generally install 32-bit, you'll hear various opinions [05:28] Only if you don't have a 64 bit processor, or you really want to play zsnes [05:28] strickly: but 32-bit is guaranteed to work [05:28] lws: point. [05:28] lws: that sounds too 'risque' for some values of 'important data' [05:28] right, so to be on the safe side better to stay on 32 bit [05:28] strickly: is this on a desktop? [05:28] noup, for VPS [05:29] for a* [05:29] gnomitsu: plenty of other automatic backup services to be had [05:29] lws: it seems there is a sudden spike in disk writes shortly before the machine becomes unresponsive [05:29] but i cant figure out where it;s writing too [05:29] to* [05:29] domino14: anything in the logs? [05:29] Anyway, can someone tell me how to disable mysql and apache2 from starting on boot? I can't quite manage to google that. [05:29] which logs should i look at? [05:29] lws: i wouldn't be recommending 'experimentation' in an official support channel [05:29] Even a just[meanword]googleit link would be nice. [05:29] domino14: try the everything log, hich i believe is either /var/log/messages or /var/log/everything [05:30] I just found a forum post, but I don't have a login, so I can't view it. :( [05:31] Can I just use the launchpad ID thingy to log on? [05:31] Oh, yes I can. Nice [05:33] no clues in either of those logs. [05:33] question, is there away i can strip down my current install of ubuntu 11.04 and rebuild it by using someing in tasksel ? [05:33] HaakonKL: http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/whats-the-recommend-way-to-enable-disable-services [05:33] everything is just hanging waiting for disk, i cant do anything that reads or writes [05:34] HaakonKL: see the post about "bum", the graphical "bootup manager" [05:34] !boot | HaakonKL [05:34] HaakonKL: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [05:34] HaakonKL: i would recommend trying that [05:34] ActionParsnip: do you have all those macros memorised? ;) [05:34] anyone in need of help? [05:35] jimmy_birer: yes, i need to escape my job [05:35] i am jimmy_birer [05:35] I AM SPARTACUS [05:35] lws: I've been coming in here for 4 years, so kinda ;) [05:36] I actually do. So I've been using this monitor for a couple of years, and all of a sudden the resolution isn't detected correctly anymore. [05:36] jimmy_birer: could help me [05:37] I get the correct resolution outside X, which is 1680x1050, but in X it's 640x480. It's the fault of the nvidia driver I suppose, but I haven't updated it in months. [05:37] . [05:37] . . IMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM [05:37] .IMMMMMMMMMMMMMM8I . ... . =MMMM [05:37] :MMMMMMMMMZ . 7MMMMZ . 7MD . IMMD . [05:37] syionide: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:37] Tried updating xorg.conf with no success. It doesn't seem like modifying it actually does anything. [05:38] question, is there away i can strip down my current install of ubuntu 11.04 and rebuild it by using someing in tasksel ? [05:38] pmj: xorg.conf isn't used anymore, i believe [05:38] I don't actually expect any help. I'm just here to vent. [05:38] pmj: and thank god for that [05:38] pmj: we have a club for [05:38] "* pmj: we have a club for xorg haters [05:38] actually, just make that X11 architecture in general [05:39] So if xorg.conf isn't used anymore, what is? [05:39] How can I force a resolution for this monitor? [05:39] xorg configuration is done dynamically these days [05:39] And if it fails you're out of luck? [05:40] i believe you may be able to fall back to xorg.conf in a pinch [05:40] if you're on a nvidia card, you could also try nvidia-settings (assuming you're using the binary drivers) [05:41] This is highly disappointing. My computer is basically unusable. nvidia-settings says it detects my monitor and says maximum resolution is 640x480. [05:42] question, is there away i can strip down my current install of ubuntu 11.04 and rebuild it by using someing in tasksel ? [05:42] nvidia-settings doesn't know the name of the monitor even, but ddcprobe from a terminal gets it all right. [05:43] pmj: strangeness [05:43] pmj: you've tried a reboot, of course [05:44] Several reboots and reinstallations of the nvidia driver. [05:44] pondera, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel [05:45] Oh well, I suppose it was time for a new monitor either. If that fails, I'll come in and vent even harder. Thank you for your time. [05:45] say s/either/anyway [05:45] pmj: recommend you draw a pentagram and sacrifice a chicken [05:45] Ignore me, not only am I tired but I've mudded too much. [05:45] is the official recommendation when updating ubuntu versions (e.g. the upcoming 11.04 -> 11.10) to do a complete fresh reinstall, or is dist-upgrade now safe? [05:45] mpj: i've found that to be the most effective technique for troubleshooting xorg [05:46] lws, I'll make that plan B. [05:46] Is frozen chicken breast OK? === syionide is now known as qry [05:46] hi [05:46] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMrgCjARwww [05:46] is there an ubuntu-specific file I can check out to detect whether the current system is indeed ubuntu? [05:47] pmj: don't insult the gods [05:47] pmj: gotta be KFC at least [05:47] hello to all the people from argetina :) [05:47] I was hoping someone can help me figure out why ati drivers will not install [05:47] strickly: hola! [05:48] hola konr :) [05:48] in the terminal it said I cannot run sh ./ati-drivers-installer-9-4-etc-etc [05:48] Is your file really named -etc-etc? [05:50] does the piccasa for linux package actually use wine to run? [05:51] dammo: yep [05:51] damno: it's horrible, isn't it? [05:52] lws: exactly [05:52] robbuf: what exactly are you doing, there? [05:53] konr: lsb_release -a will tell you what's what [05:54] yikes i'm trying to share a printer in 10.04 and not having much luck. Enabled it in the cups web interface and whenever I try to print to it I get "lp: Forbidden" [05:54] ActionParsnip: I'd rather avoid this program, as some distros, like Arch, do not include it by default. Isn't there some /etc/ubuntu_release or similar file? [05:54] then in the cups log it says Returning HTTP Forbidden for Create-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/BNEFAX-Tenders) [05:55] konr, if lsb_release does not work, you'll have your answer, it's not ubuntu [05:55] if i have eleven processes all writing to the same file in ubuntu, this shouldnt cause a system lock, right? [05:55] Is there a way to make the terminal beep or buzz when it finishes an operation? [05:55] IE a compile [05:55] i mean, shouldnt the file system take care of locking and unlocking the IO resources? [05:58] konr: you can run: cat /etc/lsb-release [05:58] how do i do an rsync between two directories and delete files off the destination that no longer exist on the source? [05:58] gooood morning tu ubuntuers [05:59] lws: exactly /quit [05:59] Is there a way to make the terminal beep or buzz when it finishes an operation, so I don't have to keep checking on it? [06:00] Generic_Dumbass, here is a brainstorm on that. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/14476/ [06:00] can i have multiple threads writing to the same file at the same time? [06:00] Generic_Dumbass: append the command 'beep' to the end of your command [06:00] like "fsck /dev/sda1; beep" [06:01] note: "beep" is not installed by default [06:01] sudo apt-get install beep [06:02] is there a way to send the output of iotop to a file? [06:02] i want to see what the hell causes an insane number of writes at some point [06:02] like 50 MB/sec apparently [06:02] MACscr, have a look at the "--delete" option in rsync's manual [06:02] 7bF/(=Gn# [06:03] could use: sudo fsck /dev/sda1; notify-send "fsck done" [06:04] ActionParsnip: does that pop up a notification bubble? [06:04] lws: It did. [06:04] sexy [06:04] domino14: yes, iotop can log [06:05] domino14: see man iotop for details of that [06:05] lws: yeah, not sure of the absolute syntax, but you get the idea [06:05] hi all.. does anyone knows how to logrotate only access.log in one month while keeping other logs rotating over weekly in /var/log/apache2? As I contain several log files in the folder so I cant use *.log.. any guidance? [06:05] thanks [06:05] a shame Beep doesn't work on VMware [06:06] lws: handy for long commands: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tech-tip-get-notifications-your-scripts-notify-send [06:06] Generic_Dumbass: http://www.arrfab.net/blog/?p=105 <- relevant [06:06] Thanks to everybody that helped me, including ActionParsnip, whom I see right now. But also everybody else.

I know its ext3, but when i try to mount it, it says i need to specify the filesystem type [06:07] raj-darkmystery, do you know cronolog? [06:07] after fresh installaton of ubuntu 11.04 my broadcom wifi is in eth1 and not wifi [06:08] MACscr: mount -t ext3 /dev/... /mnt/... [06:08] MACscr: the "-t ext3" specifies the filesystem type [06:08] dc5ala, not sure [06:08] ok will check for this dc5ala [06:09] lws: but ext3 is implied isnt it? I tried with doing your way and it says wrong filesystem type [06:10] testing [06:11] MACscr: filesystem type is not implied [06:11] MACscr: maybe it's not really ext3, or the fs is corrupt [06:11] MACscr: can you post the relevant line from sudo fdisk -l? [06:11] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FEabMiLp [06:12] MACscr: please try sudo fdisk -l === raju is now known as riddick [06:12] MACscr: post entire output === riddick is now known as raju [06:14] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MxU3rk63 [06:14] but im not sure how other disks are pertinent to the issue. Im mounting these disks on another system [06:14] so i can migrate it from lvm to a single partition [06:15] that is the strangest fdisk output i ever saw [06:15] wait, LVM? [06:16] lws: forget that output or lvm, has nothign to do with the issues were talking about. Those are other working disks [06:17] i have no iea how to deal with that, but i would recommend firing up gparted and seeing what it makes of it [06:17] the /dev/sda5 disk is the only one i am having issues with [06:17] gparted isnt an option, this is a remote headless system [06:18] note: i'm used to /dev/sda being the disk, and /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc. being hte partitions on that disk [06:19] lws: the system im doing this on is a xen guest, so things are a bit weird because it was setup years ago [06:20] hi [06:20] How to convert a HSQLDB from embedded mode to server mode? [06:22] I have a problem after upgrading to 11.04. I have an old computer that I have running as a server in text-mode. After the upgrade to 11.04, the TTY text font has become unreadable. Not as in black-on-black, but the shapes of the characters are totally wacko. Anybody seen this? Any other info I can give? I have SSH access, so I can do standard admin tasks there. [06:22] hello [06:22] I'm new to Ubuntu :D [06:23] welcome maurie [06:23] Hi ChristW do u have graphics? [06:24] for your machine? [06:24] rajeshj: No, I have text-mode only. I'm afraid that it's a non-standard card... [06:24] gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name [06:24] try that command [06:25] rajeshj, that will no nothing for a server [06:25] *do* nothing [06:25] Also, gconf is not installed... [06:25] I see i got for my desktop [06:25] I installed python2.5 from source. It lives in /usr/local/bin. I am trying to apt-get but get a message that Package python2.5 is not installed. Any idea how I would uninstall it without breaking things? [06:26] wwwd, if you didn't use checkinstall to install it, you have no way to uninstall it [06:26] I can give a screenshot, but that involves me getting out the camera and walking upstairs ;-) [06:27] Also, I tryed doing a checkinstall but it does not seem to see python [06:27] hi [06:28] Don't you just do .config then make then checkinstall? [06:28] wwwd, checkinstall has to be used when installing (when running "make install"). If you didn't use it then, it's too late [06:28] for the file system, is a kernel panic about as bad as pulling the power on a system? [06:28] Damn teh luck! [06:28] why after the updates my Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 wont connect to my wifi [06:28] :( [06:28] MACscr: if the kpanic was not caused by filesystem integrity, then yes [06:30] plz help me plz [06:30] david1234567890: be patient or leave [06:30] my router is fine i am sure [06:30] wwwd, what you could try is to reinstall (using checkinstall this time), this should overwrite your current install, and you should be able to uninstall it then [06:30] david1234567890, did you have akernel update? [06:30] yes [06:31] sorry about the "plz help me plz" [06:31] then boot up with the old kernel until you find a solution [06:31] david1234567890, reboot and try the other kernel at this time, sometimes this happens. [06:31] hmm [06:31] w8 brb [06:32] I'll give it a try. So to be clear. I do config...make then checkinstall instead of install? [06:32] hi [06:32] Bye the way I've only done this once or twice. [06:32] wwwd, that's right, also have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [06:33] hello [06:33] Ok! Thanks. Ubuntu would be great if I would just stop breaking it.

[06:47] Yeah, sure; when I say "unity" I mean the default Ubuntu WM that comes with the CD. I haven't removed that at all, I've installed and been using Gnome3 for a while, and now I'd like to go back to the default. [06:48] atftpd wouldnt work with any parameters i could come up with === saj is now known as saaa [06:48] tftpd and tftpd-hp don't seem to have executables [06:48] I have a 802.11n Wireless Lan Card and am running a dual linux ubuntu / win 7 combo. Version of linux is 10.04 and the situation I face is Not able to connect to the net. I have a few options for connections and the SSID's are not hidden but I cannot see them under linux. Ideas? I believe it to be either compatibility with the netbook I am running or something with the drivers. It worked on Version 11.10 Ubuntu upon install. [06:48] so: how can i just plain and simple: start a tftpd server from CLI? [06:48] stevethepirate: you mean classic gnome? [06:49] mkquist: Whatever comes with Ubuntu. It's probably that. [06:49] stevethepirate: then just log out and long in with classic gnome [06:49] it worked [06:49] ubuncu classic [06:49] stevethepirate: well the newest ubuntu uses unity [06:49] so do i need to install driver? [06:49] stevethepirate: then install ppa-purge and use the same ppa address as you added, the app should pull out gnome3 and install gnome from the official repo [06:50] mkquist: Of course, I know that. I do that, and the login process begins; I get my correct background and then it just stops. No top bar, no side bars, no icons. [06:50] stevethepirate: but you can log in using classic and get gnome 2 basically [06:50] darbe, look in additional drivers in the menu. [06:50] AndChat-: So one cannot have Gnome3 and 2 side-by-side? [06:50] also, games are working [06:50] wowwww [06:50] if anyone know aobut make Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 work with linux tell me plz [06:50] stevethepirate: prob need to use compiz [06:50] Huh? [06:51] I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know a solution for the screen going blank and the GPU fan going to 100% when booting an 11.04 CD (and derivatives thereof)? [06:51] I don't mean "at the same time"; I mean, "on the same machine but one at a time" [06:51] Darbe: great.

[07:01] tjoy, i want to serve a file for maybe 10 seconds, that's it [07:01] is it updating driver? [07:02] tjoy, its hard to explain but its for a machine that only has tftp as an option to download something [07:02] so it's meterpreter, got it [07:02] Stoopit: using services is great, you can modify the config and restart the service to reload the settings. Much of what you use in ubuntu is a service [07:02] tjoy, meterpreter? never heard of that term [07:02] darbe: yes, read the screen, it tells you what is going on [07:02] AndChat-, i know... but i don't need/want that now [07:03] Stoopit: can i ask why not...?

It is also a service in the OSI model, so it makes sense to mirror the defacto standard [07:06] tjoy, is swearing allowed here? [07:06] who knows [07:07] it's not.. [07:07] too bad [07:07] already said it [07:07] Stoopit: how do you mean "service not available everywhere"? [07:07] AndChat-, too ovbious to explain [07:07] you're too obvious ;) [07:08] doesn't mather, i foudn it and it works :) [07:08] Stoopit: its not obvious, if you install a service it will then be available...

Quite entertaining [07:10] AndChat-, i'm going to ignore you now, getting tired of typipng so much [07:10] Cool [07:11] meta-coder, you see starting a tftp server without using the service is hacking [07:11] oh [07:11] meta-coder, () [07:11] tftp server..?

[07:16] yeah... had to update the paths in the bootloader, also had to use install cd in recovery mode so that it wouldnt jump to booting an incompletely installed kernel === zXsl is now known as zXslhCl [07:16] Is native-install of Ubuntu more stable than the WUBI-install?????

So should I try the native-install? [07:19] tolmun: if you survive polio, you aren't stronger and more than likely something else will kill you due to weakness in your body's basic functions [07:19] meta-coder, per the wubi designer it was developed for trying out ubuntu, and moving to a ful l.install in the end [07:20] AndChat-: yeah life is cruel [07:20] what file system Ubuntu uses? [07:20] it seems to offer ext4 [07:20] meta-coder: it will be the same, you may find it fixes it due to it being a clean install. The OS stability is not improved [07:21] Oh and when I bought a new Hp w/o checking compatability. But finally I was able download new bios and seems to wrk. [07:21] AndChat-: Fatality of polio is to high to say "Polio do not kill you", thats defends mr N. statement. [07:21] AndChat- What is Ubuntu's file system?

[07:22] Qin: does happen though [07:22] * How is it better than Apple's HFS? [07:22] meta-coder, not a relevant question, [07:23] wow, i was hesitant about ext4, but it seems better than ext3 by being backwards compatible and more [07:23] meta-coder, really how would we know is a better answer [07:24] meta-coder: both have strengths and weaknesses.

Its a different thing altogether [07:28] buenos dias [07:28] sudo apt-get install trojan-horse [07:28] ha ha ha [07:28] meta-coder: One of reasons is, Linux user-base is more aware of dangers and risks.

Do you want it in particular language? [07:54] meta-coder: if you 'dpkg -i' a pkg, it'll compare the list of depends in the pkg w/ what you have install & complain about what you haven't installed (if it works anything like rpm, that is, I rarely use dpkg directly to install stuff) [07:55] Is there a easy way to manually download all the dependencies of a package from http://packages.ubuntu.com [07:57] hey, can anyone point me into the right direction [07:57] Is there any ubuntu.com's server side script that produces a list of links to download all the dependencies?

[09:30] panda, if it is only showing /dev/sda1 and saying it is NTFS, and everything else is unallocated then Ubuntu wasn't installed on that disk. You said up above you were using a live cd.

[09:35] panda``: decide how much disk space you want Ubuntu to use, free up that disk space (in advance, if possible), then let Ubuntu do the partitioning in the free space [09:35] szal: also, kde has an entirely different set of applications. mixing it in here will only create a rather chaotic situation [09:36] gnomitsu: we're constantly talking about all kinds of different apps in here, no reason to think adding KDE stuff in the mix would complicate things further ;) [09:36] you are mistaken in your view [09:37] gnomitsu: Kubuntu is on topic for this channel also.

[12:20] th0r: thanks [12:21] I think OpenOffice is better than libreoffice. Why do Ubuntu developers don't like OpenOffice?

You install the repository link for aptitude/apt-get first by using apt-add-repository , do "apt-get update" [12:52] callaghan, actually, it did! :O [12:52] Seryth: You can then install the necessary package you are looking for [12:52] osse: alright, then ;) [12:52] hi, using ubuntu 11.04. everytime reboot, I have to set my resolution manually to the correct one. how to fix this? nvidia card. there is no xorg.conf. I tried to remove ~/.nvidia-settings-rc which doesn't help. The story: The correct resolution is 1280x800. I used a projector before. At that time, I setup twinview in nvidia-settings and set it to 1024x768. after this point, verytime reboot, it uses 1024x768 by default. the resolution was OK before I used th [12:52] e projector. [12:53] Hi, I'd like to have the OS boot choice under ubuntu. I used startup manager but I cannot set windows in 1st position. [12:54] callaghan, now it suddenly works through the "Connect to server" dialog box as well. Weird. Anyways, as you said, it's alright :) [12:54] hid: Did you look inside /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and tried to find the line of "use default"? [12:54] sgo11: what driver/exact card model? [12:55] norbert79: I'm goona look it [12:55] gonna* [12:55] hid: set default="0" Change it to the position of your Windows is being listed under. 0 means normally position 1st [12:56] szal, does it matter? it was working fine before I use the projector. the nvidia card is geforce 9650m GT 1GB. The driver is the official one downloaded through ubuntu software center. how to check the version? [12:56] norbert79: isn't grub.cfg everytime overwritten when a new kernel is installed (when update-grub executes)? === Linus is now known as LinusTorvalds [12:56] callaghan: No idea, I am a bit behind since GRUB2 appeard [12:56] callaghan: Might be true === LinusTorvalds is now known as Linus_Torvalds [12:57] hi [12:57] Hi Win7 [12:57] norbert79: where to put "0" ? [12:57] hey folks [12:57] !grub2 [12:57] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [12:57] hid, norbert79: the best solution I found is to rename /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober (so it appears before 10_linux). Then run "sudo update-grub". Afterwards, Windows should be at the top of the boot list... [12:57] hid : ^^ I think ubottu's line might be helépful for you [12:57] sgo11: in that case it'd most likely be the 270 (which is a bit buggy btw, but not w/ regard to setting resolution).. you might try to 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' and reboot [12:58] !grub2 | hid [12:58] hid: please see above [12:58] Linus_Torvalds: pick a nickname and stick to it [12:58] callaghan: I see, yet I think it's a bit of a dirty workaround... [12:58] callaghan: there must be some more preferred way too [12:58] norbert79: probably ;) I'd like to know the proper way too ^^ [12:59] callaghan: yet still, I might be behind since introduction of grub2 [12:59] szal, it just uses the wrong resolution by default every time boot. let me try nvidia-xconfig, reboot. thanks. will be back soon. [12:59] Linus_Torvalds: basically you are using someone elses real name, and not just anyone name mind you [12:59] trying to set proxy with gconftool-2 [13:00] how do I set it to use a wpad file? [13:00] callaghan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8788992&postcount=4 :) Might be also a solution, but maybe just doing the same trick [13:00] callaghan: you can add a default to custom.cfg [13:00] M [13:00] clear [13:01] norbert79: that looks nice, I also checked /etc/default/grub, in there is a default field [13:01] szal, not reboot yet. I just run sudo nvidia-xconfig. It's creating xorg.conf file. why do I have to create xorg.conf file? I remember linux can set the X11 automatically without xorg.conf. I don't have it before. It was working fine before I use that projector. thanks. [13:02] callaghan: say ' set default "1" ' to /boot/grub/custom.cfg [13:02] there is not default field in default/grub [13:03] while running command sudo apt-get update am getting error msg as>>>abhishek@abhishek-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get update E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ abhishek@abhishek-VirtualBox:~$ [13:03] szal, btw, the driver version is 270.41.06.

File is just a 0 byte empty file [13:09] the network-manager is saying that my wifi is disabled by a fisical switch, but it is a button not a switch :7 [13:09] norbert79: empty is good [13:10] http://pastebin.com/Z13B7jsL [13:10] str1ngs: Ah, ok, so different logic for this one then [13:10] yup it exits! [13:10] does that look correct? [13:10] kanha: is it empty? [13:10] How can I connect to a samba share that exists but doesn't seem to want to accept sessions [13:10] rcmaehl_mobile: What about Firewall? [13:10] no its not.. [13:10] Firestarter is off [13:10] rcmaehl_mobile, Sessions? I use Samba for remote file system on the network [13:11] rcmaehl_mobile: What about the hosting machine? :) [13:11] Dumb question here. I'm using natty with unity and somehow I managed to make Thunderbird get maximized in such a way that it has no title bar, nor can I grab it or move it. restarting the app puts it back into the same mode, as does logging out/in, switching to metacity, etc. I don't know how to get control of the window again. === Linus_Torvalds is now known as Bill_Gates [13:11] norbert79: IDK it's my school so probably [13:11] but I'm on their LAN [13:11] mbeierl: hold down the alt key, you should be able to drag the window down [13:12] kanha: cat /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [13:12] kanha: what is the output? [13:12] callaghan: nope. tried that already. that works for other windows, but somehow thunderbird is completely off the grid and won't respond to alt-grab [13:14] I made the mistake of letting my [not so technical] friend use my computer. Now my icons are enormous, and I can't see most of them, and he says he didn't do it. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 [13:14] I get this from terminal using smbclient: http://pastebin.com/SbXUnbwj [13:14] but I can't connect using nautilus [13:14] mbeierl: hm. that is unusual. I am not sure if executing "unity --reset" might help or if it is a compiz-related problem [13:14] no [13:14] no [13:15] kanha: thats the output? [13:15] callaghan: nope - i did try that. They don't help either. It's like it's a thunderbird problem, not unity as I did switch to regular metacity (no effect) and it behaves the same there [13:16] Anyone have any idea how to make enormous desktop icons small again? [13:16] nullwire: right click them and choose resize [13:16] hola, im installing ubuntu 10.04 server on vmware esxi 4.1, the network is going up and down on the ubuntuinstall... ping for about 30 sec then 30 sec down then 30 more sec etc... any clues? [13:16] mbeierl: does the thunderbird safe mode work? [13:16] edbian, not an option [13:17] callaghan: how do I start tb in safe mode? [13:17] I do have "restore its original size" however it is grayed out [13:17] mbeierl: thunderbird -safe-mode [13:17] Something my friend did inadvertently caused all of my icons to become about 30% of my screen size. [13:17] callaghan: YES! Thank-you. know to figure it out what's causing it [13:17] Younder: i got wifi working :) so the card works :D [13:18] Or not so large actually, but enormous nonetheless. [13:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [13:18] BrixSat, good for you [13:18] :) [13:19] mbeierl: glad that worked. I hope you can find the setting that causes this strange thing... :) === Bill_Gates is now known as Steve_Jobs [13:19] callaghan: starting without safe mode puts it back into fullscreen again. annoying [13:19] Certainly someone in ubuntu chat can tell me how to fix enormous icons [13:20] szal, hi, just reboot. and tried many ways. still no luck. it always uses 1024x768 as default resolution. i have to setup 1280x800 manually with nvidia-settings [13:20] mbeierl: maybe this helps: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Thunderbird === Steve_Jobs is now known as Narayan_Murthy [13:21] callaghan: ah - found a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/196058 - Enabling Extra WM Actions - Toggle Fullscreen allowed me to get TB out of that mode. [13:21] Launchpad bug 196058 in thunderbird (Ubuntu) "Thunderbird starts in a full-screen mode and cannot be restored" [Undecided,Confirmed] [13:21] callaghan: thanks for your help!

[13:23] Do I have nautalus by default in ubuntu 10.04? [13:23] If so how do I access it [13:23] If not how do I zoom out on retardedly large icons [13:23] _dave_h_d: hold down the shift key when starting the computer (boot time). This should display the Grub boot menu. Choose recovery mode [13:24] nullwire: nautilus is the default file browser [13:24] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: we are doing it in recovery mode, all we see is black screen [13:24] nullwire: nautilus is installed by default. To use it open any folder or run nautilus in a terminal [13:24] hi guys [13:24] jrib, thank you [13:24] _dave_h_d: the recovery mode does not display text at all when booting? [13:25] <_dave_h_d> starts off with some text and then goes to black screen [13:25] I created one account with adduser, but all emails sent to this acct are going to my acct inbox?? [13:25] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: there must be a shortcut to switch to command line from windows login? [13:26] _dave_h_d: it should not even attempt a graphical interface from recovery. it should display text asking you what recovery mode (command line, command line with networking, attempt to fix X server, etc) you want to enter [13:27] _dave_h_d: so the fact that it goes black means something else must be wrong too [13:28] _dave_h_d: have you tried booting normal, and when it gets messed up, press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal (press ctrl+alt+f7 to get back)? [13:28] i [13:28] _dave_h_d: but like mbeierl said, recovery mode would be the better way to go [13:30] Hello, how do i gain root permission to backup my home folder to an external drive? the ubuntu wont boot anymore and i want to format the disk [13:30] im in the livecd now [13:30] i have the password for the original disk if i can somehow switch to that user i think that should solve it [13:30] _dave_h_d: sorry - let me clarify. You are choosing the "Ubuntu, (recovery mode)" from the very first boot menu when the computer is started, correct? [13:31] tetsuo--: is this home folder you want to backup encrypted? [13:32] it is not, i disabled that option for situations like these [13:32] although i might reconsider now that ubuntu one is free for basic use [13:32] quit [13:33] tetsuo--: then you should see your hard drive in nautilus, from there navigate to /home/yourusername, copy everything there, plug in an external drive, paste it there and you should be good to go :) [13:35] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: yes [13:36] <_dave_h_d> no [13:36] _dave_h_d: ? undecided? [13:36] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: i am first choosing ubuntu rather than windows === XLV_ is now known as XLV [13:37] <_dave_h_d> then second menu [13:37] <_dave_h_d> ubuntu (recovery mode) [13:37] <_dave_h_d> is this what we are supposed to do? [13:38] _dave_h_d: yes, correct. That is the one I was referring to. It should not attempt to start a graphical login at all, so if the screen goes blank from there, it is not just graphics that are wrong, perhaps [13:38] damn, I recreated the account, and still it does not get the emails... wth [13:38] \callaghan when i do that it says it cannot copy them beause i dont have the required rights [13:38] !quietirssi | Thelmaria [13:38] Thelmaria, please see my private message [13:38] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: well that is what is hapenning [13:38] hi - what's the difference between cd / and cd // [13:39] what am I doing wrong! [13:39] _dave_h_d: yes. I just wanted to confirm that as I have not seen that level of boot failure in a while. Your Windows partition is still good, correct? [13:39] <[DeVil-BoY]> greetins everyone [13:39] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: yes [13:39] hello [13:39] lukus: Just like you asked before, it depends on the context.

[13:40] Pici, in the context of changing directory [13:40] I try to add Trac Bazaar Plugin to my Bazaar Explorer (win32), downloaded an .egg file and can't find a tutorial what to do with it. Could someone please point me to a place to read up on it? Thank you. [13:40] [DeVil-BoY], which linux OS? [13:40] lukus: // doesn't mean anything [13:40] Pici, could you offer any other clues? [13:40] <[DeVil-BoY]> it's linuxmce [13:40] [DeVil-BoY]: Bit more specification would be nice. Which distribution, which Video Player?

[13:41] BluesKaj, no, it is an internal server, for local emails [13:41] <[DeVil-BoY]> at first boot the video playsback [13:41] [DeVil-BoY], you need to go to #linuxmce channel [13:41] <[DeVil-BoY]> then it goes dark [13:41] cd // brings me to // [13:41] afeijo_, ok [13:41] cd ///////////////// brings me to / [13:41] <[DeVil-BoY]> coz_ [13:41] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: thanks! [13:41] tetsuo--: ok, try opening a terminal and enter "sudo nautilus" there, a new nautilus with super user rights should launch [13:41] <[DeVil-BoY]> i'm there [13:41] <[DeVil-BoY]> but no joy [13:42] <[DeVil-BoY]> i think it might be a driver issue [13:42] [DeVil-BoY]: I think using a more recent distribution might solve the trick. 8.10 is rather very old, and not supported anymore [13:42] [DeVil-BoY], ah ok ,, sometimes you have to hang out in a channel and wait ,,,then ask the question again [13:42] lukus, its exactly the same as root [13:42] callaghan, I believe it's "gksude nautilus". [13:42] <[DeVil-BoY]> allright, [13:42] callaghan: that works. thanks! [13:42] gksudo nautilus [13:42] gksudo, even. [13:43] the sudo seems to work [13:43] Sidewinder1: does it make a difference other than the password window popping up? [13:43] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: i can also tell you that my friend installed it using something like wubi [13:43] Sidewinder1: since tetsuo-- is on a live cd, there isn't even a password set, so nothing to enter ;) [13:43] callaghan, yes it can,,, gksudo is better ,, there is a possibility that permissions can be messed up with just sudo nautilus [13:43] ok and its actually copying now [13:44] _dave_h_d: oh, I've never done wubi install. Does that actually replace the MS Windows bootloader with Grub? [13:44] callaghan, GUI programs should always use gksudo... [13:44] coz_: oh I didn't know that! thanks [13:44] will the backup haver any rights issues when i finish formatting? [13:44] callaghan, no problem [13:45] I've found the answer [13:45] callaghan, Have a look at this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [13:45] how can I install a version of RubyGems > 1.8 on natty? [13:45] / is possible due to a $PS1 bug [13:45] rather // is possible due to a $PS1 bug [13:46] lukus, its not a bug afaik its just something thats probably just "there" [13:46] prob some old thing [13:46] well, glitch [13:46] I was curious about whether it was different .. and it was impossible to google [13:46] kasi_, not sure let me check [13:46] how to put reverse ssh tunnel into background? when i do ssh -R port:localhost:22 username@server & I cant connect there [13:47] lukus, its not different in any way. just use / and forget about it [13:47] Sidewinder1: that is indeed interesting, thanks [13:47] kasi_, are you sure it is 1.8? [13:47] O.O [13:47] @_@ [13:47] hey there can anyone help me with how I could crack my wireless network(for educational purposes) [13:48] momolee, what s it a neighbours wifi? [13:48] tetsuo--: you can always change the owner of the copied files back to your user with the command "sudo chown -R yourusername /path/to/the/files" [13:48] why can not I type in Chinese in the Ubuntu system? [13:48] you can try to crack kernel.org for educational purposes ;) [13:48] When i type: "service mysql status" i get: "mysql start/running" but when i do "ps -ef | grep mysql" i get: "jn 6568 2070 0 13:47 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto mysql" ....dose this mean mysql is running or not ? [13:49] kasi_, go here http://rubygems.org/pages/download click the targz download,,, [13:49] jnsl_: I think it is running :). that's what service mysql status say doesn't it? [13:49] callaghan, My pleasure. :-) [13:49] hola, im installing ubuntu 10.04 server on vmware esxi 4.1, the network is going up and down on the ubuntuinstall... ping for about 30 sec then 30 sec down then 30 more sec etc... any clues? === afeijo_ is now known as afeijo [13:49] kasi_, extract the package... open terminal ,, cd to that extracted package.. type rub setup.rb [13:49] ok, simpler question: how to make an linux acct get emails? [13:49] i usually use Nvidia cards to be safe on ubuntu. but im thinking about building a home theater PC with an onboard intel graphics chip, does ubuntu get proprietary drivers for intel like it does for nvidia? [13:49] kasi_, sorry ,,,that's ruby setup.rb [13:49] dnivra aye =) ok... but when i just type "mysql" or try to login to mysql, i get this error: "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" [13:50] GunArm: intel drivers are open source [13:50] <[DeVil-BoY]> intel drivers [13:50] <[DeVil-BoY]> humm [13:50] <[DeVil-BoY]> i need some of those [13:50] _dave_h_d: dumb question - is this a laptop? [13:50] <[DeVil-BoY]> dunno which ones to install [13:50] luite, do they work? for all the modern gpu offloading and stuff? [13:50] please how to put reverse ssh tunnel into background? when i do ssh -R port:localhost:22 username@server & I cant connect there from server [13:50] GunArm: (doesn't mean that they always work flawlessly though) [13:50] jnsl_: try mysql -u -p [13:51] SpiderFred: try -f [13:51] <[DeVil-BoY]> can anyone care to explain how to install this driver [13:51] <[DeVil-BoY]> Intel 2011Q3 graphics package [13:51] when i do mysql -u root -p i get the same error :S [13:51] could it be related to my firewall ? [13:51] the error comes after i change bind-address to my servers ip in my.cnf [13:52] jnsl_: eh? I get a prompt for password. that's really baffling :). dunno. probably someone else can help out in thir regard. [13:52] help how can i get source from this page http://code.google.com/p/phonevisions/source/checkout [13:52] s/thir/this [13:52] i get prompt as well, and then the error afterwards [13:52] jnsl_: You're possibly trying to connect on 127.0.0.1, not ? not sure though. [13:52] Thelmaria: that doesnt work either [13:52] GunArm: hmm, don't know exactly. there are different gpu's though. some intel stuff has an integrated gma500 thing, that uses the psb driver (used in a few netbooks) [13:52] I replaced 127.0.0.1 with my servers ip in my.cnf [13:53] jnsl_: weird question but do you have mysql-server installed? [13:53] yep [13:53] GunArm: the usual on-chipset (gma3000 etc) driver is probably the best supported one, the sandy bridge on-die gpu is newer [13:53] but how do i check ? [13:53] just in case [13:53] js_: alright. just making sure cos I don't :). [13:54] oops sorry js_. I mean jnsl_ ^^ [13:54] jnsl_: try the command "dpkg -s mysql-server" [13:54] GunArm: but I have to admit that I don't know much more, I built a htpc a few years ago (xbmc) and had an intel, but swapped the motherboard to get a nvidia gpu (on-board) for the better drivers [13:54] <_dave_h_d> mbeierl: [13:54] <_dave_h_d> yes [13:54] yeah its installed alright [13:54] <[DeVil-BoY]> http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2011Q3.html [13:55] jnsl_: ah okay. just clarifying that :). [13:55] <[DeVil-BoY]> which one should i download to install? [13:55] jnsl_, ps -ef | grep mysqld [13:55] _dave_h_d: is there a "toggle between external monitor and lcd panel" button? Could you try that, or maybe plug in an external monitor? === safejav_ is now known as safejav [13:55] luite, i see, i was trying to build this for my dad since it has a lot of goodies onboard, but I wanted to check to be safe http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/03/revisiting-the-home-theater-pc.html [13:56] its a modernish hardware htpc [13:56] That returns: jn 6611 2070 0 13:55 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto mysqld ...But "service mysql status" gives: "mysql start/running" [13:56] jnsl_, it's not running. [13:56] the first indicates that its not running and the last that it is right [13:57] GunArm: ah looks cute. I had a lot of problems with nvidia as well to be honest, especially audio output over hdmi has been problematic, would only work with very specific driver versions, and then there were still audio channels swapped [13:57] SpiderFred: What are you trying to do exactly? [13:57] jnsl_, service mysql status should also give you a pid. [13:57] SpiderFred: -f -N will work. [13:58] service mysql status mysql start/post-start, process 6721 post-start process 6722 [13:58] ok now i get this: service mysql restart [13:58] restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.64" (uid=1001 pid=6813 comm="restart) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")) [13:58] jnsl_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:58] SpiderFred: You want to put a reverse tunnel so you can get from A->B, yes? So, on B, you do: ssh -R :localhost:22 user@A -f -N [14:00] luite, yeah i think alot of people have the audio over hdmi problem. i like the low power and the portable case on this [14:00] ok as root: "service mysql restart" gives: "mysql start/running" [14:01] jnsl_: just to make sure: does "sudo mysql -u username -p" work? [14:01] ps -ef | grep mysqld returns the same [14:01] same socket error :/ [14:01] I can get it to work if i change back bind-address [14:02] but i need to be able to access the databases from my laptop [14:03] GunArm, sometimes pulseaudio options, usually the pavucontrol needs to be configured for hdmi , if hdmi is even recognized by pulseaudio [14:03] jnsl_: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,9689,71099#msg-71099 a solution to the error message was posted [14:03] jnsl_, forgive my ignorance, but in what file do you set the bind-address? [14:03] jnsl_: maybe you have the same permission issue... [14:04] I edited the vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf [14:05] callaghan hmm but i cant even log in as root =( [14:05] jnsl_, it should be set to 127.0.0.1 [14:06] :q [14:06] I think you are right, strange though multiple guides have told me i need to bind the address to my server ip if i want to access mysql remote [14:06] Help! I want to temporarily disable Nvidia proprietary driver and use integrated Intel gfx. I disabled nVidia in BIOS (this is a thinkpad w520) and I get a GUI but no compositing.

[14:20] you wont have enough swap [14:20] gparted to resize it may take a long time [14:21] i mean will it hibernate? [14:21] depends what you have loaded [14:21] you have 2GB of space to swap [14:21] robin0800, hmm, that didn't do the trick. I edited the file, but clicking the firefox icon in the launcher still does the wrong thing. [14:21] It isn't cached somewhere, is it? [14:21] over 2GB you need larger swap [14:22] you mean it wont hibernate? [14:22] mASOUD_42, I believe the rule of thumb is 1.5 times RAM for swap.

[14:29] who can help me download source from this page http://code.google.com/p/phonevisions/source/checkout [14:30] hello everybody === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [14:30] delac - the only way would be to take a screenshot of each desktop in turn and put them together in something like gimp. [14:30] Hi [14:31] I'm not aware of a screencapture facility which can cross desktops to get a multi screen window [14:31] I get CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format when I tryand open a .iso file. And when I mount it, there is nothing on it. [14:31] BarkingFish: I was trying to avoid the stiching by taking one big screenshot in the first place... [14:31] It's a 7gb file [14:31] that's the problem, delac - I'm not sure you can. [14:32] tnbboot, sounds like a bad d/l [14:32] where did you get it? [14:32] skidrow [14:32] It works for loads of people [14:33] I was going to try to d/l it myself, but I dont think I will if its a crack [14:33] Okay [14:33] Well [14:33] I don't know why it doesn't work [14:33] http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6245875/Assassins_Creed_Brotherhood-SKIDROW [14:34] compdoc: I think it may work on Windows [14:35] everything works onm windows [14:35] :) [14:35] get the iso, install daemon tools lite (old non blaoted) vefsion [14:35] mount iso, install game, copy crack. [14:35] WIN [14:36] I am trying to boot from gparted through pd...i m using unetbootin software..whn i boot from pd it dosent show any screen and just hangs.. why?? [14:37] hi there. Does anyone know why when I add the following to the /etc/sudoers file the user test can still use commands other than the one I stated? test ALL=/usr/bin/mysql [14:37] ubuntu sees my android phone as a digital audio player, how do i change this [14:38] matlock, most cellphones have a choice of how to identify when connected via usb. Have you checked your phone to see if you can change it? [14:38] no [14:38] most cellphones don't [14:38] s/cellphones/android phones/ [14:38] most cellphones do [14:38] mine for example will connect via usb as a webcam, a media player or a portable HDD [14:38] android [14:39] matlock: most android phones I've used do [14:39] no [14:39] the problem lies with ubuntu [14:39] usually it'll pop up when you plug in your phone and ask if you want to charge only, disk drive, etc [14:39] ok now you're making sense [14:40] cause those are the only two options android phones offer [14:40] actually it's one option [14:40] enable disk usage [14:40] or not [14:40] I plug mine in, choose disk drive, it sees it as a usb drive [14:40] ok [14:40] that was what I was getting at [14:40] anyone know how of any repositories out there that have bind9 9.8? looked through oneiric, and it still only has 9.7.3 [14:40] then tell me why ubuntu sees mine as an mp3 player (since now) [14:40] why is it bad to open port 3306 (: [14:40] last time i connected it, it worked fine. [14:40] when you click enable disk usage it does? [14:40] i want too! [14:41] matlock: It depends which version of android software, mine gives about 1/2 dozen different options, which version of android does your phone have [14:41] this time i connected it it says 'these files are on a digital audio player' [14:41] After I use a project and use nvidia-settings to configure twinview and 1024x768. my laptop boots to 1024x768 from that point on. I have to manually use nvidia-settings to change it after reboot. how to fix this problem? I tried (1) rm xorg.conf. (2) rm ~/nvidia-settings-rc (3) sudo nvidia-xconfig . no luck. [14:41] DJones, just stop, it's not my phone [14:41] it's ubuntu [14:41] jnsl_, it's not bad to open 3306 if you're using mysql, since mysql uses 3306 for connections [14:41] otherwise, don't open it. [14:42] s/project/projector/ [14:42] so. how can i make ubuntu NOT see my phone as a digital audio device [14:42] considering it just started with this bS [14:42] Its so i can connect to remote databases... but everywhere on the net people say its not so brilliant [14:43] and its not even recommended with restricted ips [14:43] i have a problem with the security ring and svn server validation .... [14:43] basically mysql uses it for incoming server connections, jnsl_ - leaving any port open when you're not using it is obviously not good. [14:43] surely is not easy to repair this but... [14:43] okay [14:44] you guys are useless [14:44] and that's now you don't get helped :) [14:44] when i make a checkout the keyring remember the keys BUT it nos interprete that on terminal... [14:44] hplpb, some people like nothing more than to bitch, simple as that :P === hacked is now known as vinces [14:45] BarkingFish: exactly.. and I bet he changed something in his phone that's causing it.. the phone is telling ubuntu that it is a digital audio player [14:45] yep [14:45] and it ask me 2 keys, 1 username and a key.... every time, everi check out commit etc [14:46] how i can repair it? [14:46] Mine asks when I plug in via usb what I want it to be - although it's not an android phone, I know the option exists on a lot of the modern phones - even my old Nokia E71 has it. [14:47] anyone have any ideas about my problem? ... [14:47] Anyone have issues with corrupt files on installation CD's? I cannot seem to get an iso to work to install Ubuntu [14:47] BarkingFish: Yeah, it will unless you choose the wrong option and check not to ask anymore which is probably what he did, or changed usb settings [14:48] do you know how i open 3306 with apparmor ? [14:48] shep_, you can try a usb drive for installation. [14:49] 3306 ? [14:49] jnsl_, sorry, I don't. I only have default ports open on here, and I've never tried to open others. [14:49] thanks, have you heard of others having issues with iso's installing? [14:49] ok [14:49] you need stronger passwd [14:49] shep_, not really with ubuntu. I had this issue with opensuse iso. [14:50] shep_, Did you md5sum the ISO before burning? [14:50] I assume everyone should check md5sum first. :) [14:51] I have had it with CentOS 6 and Ubuntu 10.04 /11 the only OS that I can get working it seems is CentOS 5.4 [14:51] - - i use ubuntu server 10.10 [14:51] I did not md5sum [14:51] hello [14:51] there [14:51] what this command does ? [14:51] sgo11, But you know what happens when one assumes. :-) [14:51] ip -a [14:52] !md5sum | shep_ [14:52] shep_, CD drive is not useful in these days anyway. you can use usb disk for installation. if you don't check md5sum, you should check it now. :) [14:52] shep_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:52] I am trying to boot from gparted through pd...i m using unetbootin software..whn i boot from pd it dosent show any screen and just hangs.. why??

[14:52] hi scooby [14:52] hi, hows it going [14:53] !hashes | shep_ [14:53] shep_: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [14:53] anyone here willing/able to help me with an installation mystery?

[14:55] hi can someone help please, ubuntu keep taking me to a black login screen, and wont boot up normal [14:55] Why when I start my ubuntu Box it only asks for my password, but my moms, asks for the password and then the keyring passwod as well? [14:55] Onepamopa, only root can use ports below 1000 [14:55] kion, The key ring password is very different === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle [14:56] CluelessPerson good, I have root but I've made a non-root user with no sudo privileges [14:56] and I want it to be able to use port 443 [14:56] there's no way to do it ?! [14:56] i have a pc that is running Qimo 1, built on xubuntu 8. I want to upgrade to Qimo 2. When I put the installation disc in the installation stalls and the capslock and scroll lock lights start flashing. I tried just installing Ubuntu 10.04, and the same thing happened. What's going on and how can I fix it? [14:56] kion, The password is the password to the user long, the keyring password is basically a password for access to ALL other saved passwords [14:57] CluelessPerson, yes but why my box never asks for the keyring password and another also asks for that keyring one? [14:58] I dunno [14:59] CluelessPerson, the best linux email server is zimbra, which uses postfix on the bottom. IMHO. [14:59] Hello, the Ubuntu Oneiric beta 1 links are all 404 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview [14:59] CluelessPerson blah, on freebsd you can adjust those prots via simple sysctl change [14:59] why cant @ ubuntu ? === henry- is now known as Henryboo [15:00] Zequez: Its not yet released.

[15:03] it should [15:03] well I have 11.04 and it doesn`t [15:03] it`s a bug it says [15:04] danutz, I have 11.04 and the build for ubuntu works here. [15:05] asking again: I am trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from Qimo1/Xubuntu8. The installation stalls after about a minute with the caps lock and scroll lock lights flashing on the keyboard. What does this mean and how do I fix it so I can complete the installation? [15:06] hi can someone help please, ubuntu keep taking me to a black login screen, and wont boot up normal [15:06] can you get a shell using ALT+F1 or ALT+F2? [15:07] myka, I think that it's a "kernel panic". :-( [15:07] sidewinder1, what does that mean -- it sounds bad. [15:07] myka, It ain't good. [15:07] did the machine just to an update? [15:08] might be a problem with your X config [15:08] !who | chrisgu [15:08] chrisgu: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Any links that would show me how? [15:08] use spaces ? [15:09] _cb, Have you tried Synaptic Package Mgr.? [15:09] sidewinder1, is there a way to overcome the kernel panic, or am I just stuck. [15:09] _cb, sudo apt-get install program1 program2 program3 program4 [15:09] <_cb> Sidewinder1 that is one option but if I could just have a text file that is read by the terminal it would be so much faster [15:10] myka, are you able to login ? if so you may just have a problem with your X config [15:10] _cb: apt-get something `cat file|xargs` [15:10] myka, I was lucky to identify your problem; beyond that, fixing that particular problem is beyond my expertice, sorry. :-( [15:10] cb, if you have a file you can sudo apt-get install < filename [15:10] How to view print jobs in progress? [15:10] sidewinder1, swell. [15:11] sidewinder1, thanks for the lead... back to research how to fix it. [15:12] myka, Please just persevere; someone else will "chime-in" eventually and help you solve your problem. [15:13] <_cb> How would I run the following install with one command?

Can I put it in one file ie /install.txt and then have the terminal execute /install.txt? [15:16] guys, what is our implementation of opengl? I have a feeling that danutz' installation of Google earth isn't working because he's missing OpenGL [15:17] the error is Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" [15:17] hello there [15:17] How to view print jobs in progress? [15:17] I'm sure that needs an opengl installation [15:18] _cb, yes, but you have to make the file executable before you do it. [15:18] scripting fundamentals. :) [15:19] How to view print jobs in progress? [15:19] iuytfr: lpq command is one way.. old skool way. [15:20] Hi all [15:20] lpstat [15:20] ? [15:20] `pmap -x ` doesn't print RSS. It only prints VMSize [15:20] iuytfr, lpstat -l [15:20] Is that known bug? [15:20] * Dr_Willis said lpq, try it and see.. try lpstat.. never used that one.. :) [15:20] <_cb> glebaron is it as simply as using chmod to make the text file an executable? [15:20] This is 10.04.1 (LTS) btw [15:20] thanks [15:21] _cb, yes. something like chmod 755 filename [15:21] I saw a bug report of the opposite nature (i.e. resident set size being printed but not VM size)... but I have the version in which that bug is fixed [15:21] glebaron: I think chmod +x is a better choice ^^ [15:21] So any known reports of pmap not being able to resident size? [15:22] How to view the NFS mounts mounted and shared on the network? [15:22] I have 2 graphic interfaces..how do I change between them? [15:22] <_cb> Great!! thanks a lot. Eye opener for me [15:23] OK, I installed proprietary nVidia in 10.04 lucid by doing the System -> hardware drivers install (GUI), now my ubuntu does not show any video when I boot. PLEASE, how do i rollback to nevau drivers??? === bruno is now known as Guest60411 [15:26] http://xdccing.com [15:26] can anoyone help me to roll back my nvidia driver to the standard ubuntu video drivers, i cant access my system because I have no video === fr0sted-bnc is now known as fr0sted [15:27] bravo_: boot to text mode perhaps [15:28] Stanley00, why? [15:28] how do i do that dr_willis [15:28] !text [15:28] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [15:28] hold down shift, edit grub entry manually then boot? [15:28] thx, gonna try now [15:28] glebaron: it's just do what we want, make executable, and no more :D [15:29] do i edit one of the menuentrys and add !text or what? [15:29] it [15:32] hi folks... does anyone know if there's a channel for wine on freenode? [15:32] luckybunny: #winehq [15:32] thanks [15:32] i use ubuntu 10.04 and it randomy freezes. i got the feeling that it got to do with firefox but can not verify that. what happens is that my whole system freezes after firefox is under heavy load. right now, after the freeze (and a hard reboot) i notice an other strange behaviour: my xchat window is on top of my midori (i use midori for now because i am mad at firefox) window and at 2% cup load. alt tabbing to midori makes my system to go a [15:32] t 100% cpu load and the part of the midori window, that was hidden by xchat stays gray for about 5 seconds [15:33] can some1 help me to investigate the cause for that odd behaviour, pleasE [15:33] right guys, I gotta go for a bit, if someone could help danutz when he comes back, he just needs to switch video modes I think, I'd appreciate it - I got half of his google earth problem fixed, he just needs to know how to switch video from processor to his dedicated video card. [15:33] See you guys later :) [15:34] Benkinooby, I would first back-up my bookmarks; then completely remove FF, then reinstall FF. But that's just me. :D [15:35] Benkinooby, same issue with flash for my part.. [15:35] Sidewinder1, i was recommended to that last time i came here with the same/similar problem... it helped for a while [15:35] can i talk? [15:35] YAY [15:35] MisterKpak: you can type... :) [15:35] :) [15:35] Benkinooby, so i would buy Adobe and make it opensource...

[15:37] replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' and boot the entry [15:37] my cpu is at 50°C [15:38] thanks dr willis [15:38] Hello. I have a lucid box. I'd like to update alternatives so that crontab -e uses actual vim instead of vim.sucky or vim.really_sucky. I tried just changing the /usr/bin/editor symlink but that didn't do it. [15:38] actual vim? never notced there being a vim.sucky.. [15:39] theres the tiny vim, but installing the full vim replaces it. [15:39] Combatjuan: install actual vim, you will have alternative automatically... [15:39] Dr_Willis: I think they are vim.basic and vim.tiny. I'm not sure which is tinier. But neither support all the commands I want. [15:39] Combatjuan: the answer is to install the vim full package then [15:39] * Sidewinder1 Looks for vim.really_sucky. [15:40] jrib, Dr_Willis: Real vim is installed, it is not a choice when I do "update-alternative --config editor" [15:40] Combatjuan: you want to update the vim alternative [15:41] Why is empathy the default IM client? [15:41] why not [15:41] jrib: Sorry, I don't know how to do that. It doesn't seem to be "update-alternative --config vim" [15:41] Combatjuan: it is [15:41] Combatjuan: I get vim.nox listed under editor. [15:41] jrib: I mistyped it. Now I get "There is only one alternative in link group vim: /usr/bin/vim.basic" [15:41] Combatjuan: but editor should also list the vim variants. How did you install real vim? [15:42] jrib: "apt-get install vim" -> "vim is already the newest version" [15:42] Combatjuan: update-alternatives not alternative [15:42] Combatjuan: try vim-gtk or vim-gnome [15:42] skarufue: Yeah, that was a typo. [15:42] Combatjuan: sudo apt-get install vim-nox [15:42] jrib: This is a headless machine.

[15:46] Skarfue, Its the same as other lines in format : "deb http://archive.cannonical.com/lucid partner" [15:46] I'd like to set permissions for a (huge) directory tree such that all subdirectories are 777/rwx, but files are 444/r--. Is there a way to do that? [15:46] pmitros: use find [15:46] bravo_, why do yout think you have roll back the driver , if anything you should upgrade it [15:46] Basically, I want the whole tree to be world-readable, and I'd like users to be able to create files, but I'd like to prevent accidental file modifications, and if possible, deletions. [15:47] no I want the neavue driver instead [15:47] pmitros, jrib: Why not chmod -R 0777? [15:47] mtrd`, also scrolling on that site is unusable [15:47] cos that one makes my screen work at least.. [15:47] good, thanks [15:47] ... [15:47] Combat: One sec. Let me check what that does. [15:47] jrib: Find is a fallback. I wanted to figure out what the Right Way to do it is. [15:48] pmitros: find is the way to do this... [15:48] or use zsh globs... [15:49] jrib>please can you say how can i install packages from folder [15:49] pmitros: I misread your request. I didn't see that you wanted a difference between directories and child nodes. jrib is absolutely correct. [15:49] pmitros: but I'm not sure how these permissions accomplish what you wanted [15:49] mtrd`, hm, firefox hadles that site much better [15:49] user__: what do you want to install exactly? [15:49] Combat: Yeah. I hoped the extra 0 you added at the beginning did something magic, but it didn't. [15:49] Benkinooby, scroll bug happens all the time for me [15:49] but it's related to flash... [15:50] i want to install deb packages from folder [15:50] jrib: They don't exactly, but they come as close as I can think of. [15:50] mtrd`, :( [15:50] jrib: This isn't a security issue. This is a preventing accidents issue. [15:50] Benkinooby, may the force be with you [15:50] user__: Like "dpkg -i *.deb" from that folder? [15:50] pmitros: but no one can write to the files and everyone can delete them [15:50] mtrd`, thx [15:51] hey i ran remastersys but it said the file was to big..i solve that out but now my computer says there is no disc room left any one know what i can do? [15:51] jrib: I'd like no one to be able to write to files. That's correct. I'd prefer to avoid accidental deletions, but I don't see a way to do that with Unix permissions, while still permitting users to create files. [15:51] user__: As an aside, It's always best to run "dpkg --simulate -i" first just to make sure things make sense. [15:52] add downloaded packages from synaptic package manager [15:52] my linux server crashed a minutes ago, what logs should i be looking to give me insight into the problem? [15:52] pmitros: does sticky bit do what you want? [15:52] a few minutes* [15:52] jrib: Possibly, I could place a second directory tree that's 000 with hard links to the first. That would avoid unrecoverable deletions. [15:52] jrib> how can i add downloaded packages from synaptic package manager?

The application is basically that I have a big catalog of photos. I want those files there forever. The photoediting program I use creates metadata in seperate files (xmp files). I'd like it to be able to create and modify those. If I lose the xmp files, I'm okay. If I change the original photos, I'm not. I've had a bunch of programs which promised to be non-destructive editors do destructive things by accid [15:56] when I run a command followed by &, it will run as a daemon. Is it possible to specify the PID we want to to run one ? [15:56] ok... the people at #winehq have passed me back here.. so here it is... [15:56] jrib: others). I'm basically trying to make sure that no program has permissions to change files, and ideally, to minimize the set of mistakes that either I or my other family members can make.

It appears to do the correct thing. [15:57] whoever: what command are you using to create the link? [15:57] the last message before the crash was an 'unexpectedly shrunk window' crash error [15:57] jrib: Thank you. I didn't know about what it did to directories. [15:57] whoever: how did you create it? [15:57] has anyone seen that before? [15:58] pmitros: seems like it should work, yeah [15:58] I have tried using padsp, which actually gives me sound, but it's that choppiness [15:58] Pici: ln -s [15:59] whoever: that won't work unless you supply arguments, I wanted to know exactly what you typed. [15:59] Pici: ln -s /mnt/music/ /home//Music/ [16:00] whoever: and you put your actual user name in place of '' ?

[16:06] I have ported Ubuntu 9.10 to my Zenithink ZT-180 but I can't get the touchscreen to act like the mouse. I can calibrate it with ts_calibrate but it wont function as a mouse. Any idea's? [16:06] Hello! How do I know my hardware supports ASPM? I want to know because I want to apply the "pcie_aspm=force" temp fix. This to be applied on a notebook. [16:06] yonij: I see, well there aren't any newer ones in the repositories as it stands right now. You might be able to find a PPA somewhere though. [16:06] markkkz: you could just try that option at the grub menu and see if it works.. [16:07] hello people [16:07] hello [16:07] you mean mount -a ? Dr_Willis [16:07] Pici I actually just need to fix that DOS issue - is it automatically fixed in update ? [16:07] is it possible to create a file and use it as a mountable filesystem? [16:07] iuytfr: no... i mean 'mount' shows all mounted filesystemns... [16:07] It still says its vulnerable when I checked [16:07] Dr_Willis: The article says it machine will stop responding. What exactly does that mean? Can I still reboot and take it off GRUB? [16:07] I have ported Ubuntu 9.10 to my Zenithink ZT-180 but I can't get the touchscreen to act like the mouse. I can calibrate it with ts_calibrate but it wont function as a mouse. Any ideas? [16:07] why i got this when i launch in a terminal the command gstreamer-properties ?? see here http://pastebin.com/pQCRHrBz [16:08] yonij: not that I know of, I was going to poke some people today about it for my own use actually. [16:08] how to install these plugins ? [16:08] markkkz: you edit the grub menu at boot time. and it only applkies to the next boot... if it messed up.. reboot. [16:08] yonij: You can quickly check a given CVE's status on this site: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/ , so http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-3192.html [16:08] Noiano: you can create a filesystem in a 'file' and mount it via the loop option of mount.. a common trick done with iso files.. [16:09] !iso [16:09] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [16:09] Dr_Willis: Ok. well my notebook is fairly new. Like bought this year. Is it safe to assume it supports ASPM? [16:09] I have ported Ubuntu 9.10 to my Zenithink ZT-180 but I can't get the touchscreen to act like the mouse. I can calibrate it with ts_calibrate but it wont function as a mouse and won't respond to touch outside of calibration.. Any ideas? [16:09] Dr_Willis, what if I want to create a brand new iso file and then mount it as a filesystem? [16:10] what is the defaut daemon for sending mail on ubuntu ? [16:10] Noiano: that command above mounts an iso file to a directory.,.. [16:10] markkkz: No idea.. never heard of aspm befor.. No idea why you want it - if the thing is working properly [16:11] Dr_Willis, I do not have this iso file, I want to create it...an empty iso file... [16:11] I have ported Ubuntu 9.10 to my Zenithink ZT-180 but I can't get the touchscreen to act like the mouse. I can calibrate it with ts_calibrate but it wont function as a mouse and won't respond to touch outside of calibration.. Any ideas? [16:11] Noiano: you DONT mount an iso file 'writeable' [16:11] theres specific tools to allow editing of iso files. [16:11] but ive rarely used them [16:11] Dr_Willis, I just wanted to emulate a flash drive [16:11] Dr_Willis: It's for the power regression on Linux kernel starting with .38 currently in use by Natty. This gives a slightly longer battery lifetime. [16:12] Noiano: you dont want an 'iso' then - you use some other filesustem. not the cd/iso9660 filesystem [16:12] yonij: I just got word that something should land today. [16:12] markkkz: so boot up. edit the grub menu.. add the option to the end.. and see if it works [16:13] ah great :), so it would be in the repo soon I guess then [16:13] is the desktop ubuntu install same as netbook edition? [16:13] Dr_Willis, Can I read/write using that filesystem? [16:13] yonij: Yep. [16:13] lotuspsychje: Yes. [16:13] Dr_Willis: right.... well thanks bud.... ;) [16:13] markkkz: quiet splash --- becomes --> quiet splash theoptions [16:13] abtekk: tnx [16:13] how can I disable pulse audio? [16:13] I have ported Ubuntu 9.10 to my Zenithink ZT-180 but I can't get the touchscreen to act like the mouse. I can calibrate it with ts_calibrate but it wont function as a mouse and won't respond to touch outside of calibration.. Any ideas? [16:13] without losing all sound [16:13] Noiano: of course.. If you are using somtning like ext2/3/4/vfat/ntfs/whatever... but not iso9660 === Mkaysi is now known as Ubot4 [16:14] Pici: great, just for my knowledge - If at all I get a hit, a restart of apache would fix it right ? [16:14] the memory issue === Ubot4 is now known as Guest82973 [16:14] yonij: It should. [16:14] ok, cool [16:15] I have ported Ubuntu 9.10 to my Zenithink ZT-180 but I can't get the touchscreen to act like the mouse.

[16:16] plouffe: I compiled it to work on the device as it doesn't natively. [16:17] abtekk: ubuntu 9.10 is not supported [16:17] It was originally an Android tablet. [16:17] xangua: I know but the set up would be the same for new versions. [16:17] then i sugest you to try an android rom or keep with your stock rom abtekk [16:18] abtekk: I've read something about ubuntu + touch here, no idea if its relevant:http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2011/08/howto-linux-on-dell-inspiron-duo.html [16:18] I've suddenly lost all emails from my evolution Inbox, but not from any of its subfolders. Any idea how to get them back? [16:18] xangua, how is an Android room going to help with his Ubuntu install? [16:18] Hi all. Got a machine that I accidentally cut power to during a windows install as it was formatting the drive. It's an old IDE HDD. I now want to boot an Ubuntu live cd to sort out the HDD but Ubuntu 11.04 won't boot with the HDD connected. Are there any options I can try to get this box booted with the drive attached? [16:19] (11:17:19) abtekk: It was originally an Android tablet. - plouffe [16:19] Obviously as it's an IDE disk, attaching after boot isn't an option. [16:19] Hi [16:19] xangua, he wasn't looking for Android support but Ubuntu [16:20] How can i start the sbackup's gui from terminal? [16:20] plouffe: and 9.10 is not suported either [16:20] xangua, "originally" meaning he had wiped the Android and replaced it with Ubuntu [16:20] so the Android support room would be utterly useless [16:20] does debian 6 have never pakages than 10.04 or is ubuntu still more fresh? [16:21] howdy, quick question i'm using lubuntu and was wondering how to install the graphical add / remove application? [16:22] tf_: which one? [16:22] Synaptic? [16:23] yeah comes preinstalled in normal ubuntu [16:23] it just makes finding apps way more easy then apt-get [16:23] tf_: if so, get yourself a terminal up and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synaptic [16:23] why must i disable my firewall to print to my wireless hp photosmart printer? [16:24] tf_: if you mean software center, intall the software-center package :P [16:24] lol aight thanks! [16:24] tf_: or that xD [16:24] How can i start the sbackup's gui from terminal?

[16:28] at least summarize the issue peragrate. [16:28] is anyone here an expert at configuring Ubuntu? [16:28] Any news about Oneiric Beta? Still not out... [16:28] !schedule [16:28] !oneiric | peragrate [16:28] peragrate: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:28] it will be out when its out. :) [16:28] sure. [16:29] that was for beniwtv ;) [16:29] I have a phone that has never had a problem connecting to my computer. It's a generic phone and doesn't require drivers. You simply plug it in and a window pops open. This is how it normally works. [16:30] Hello! [16:30] I have tried for four hours now and the computer won't connect to the phone. I can't get the data I need off the phone. [16:31] Please help mr on my Qiyze exam!_) [16:31] I've tried everything. booting to live cd, software installs, checking the phone settings 5 times, fdisk can't find it, lsusb can't find it. [16:32] Hello! I tried to follow a tutorial to install the old xv on Ubuntu and I am stuck on the last step [16:32] peragrate: try it on a windows machine if you can and it's that important. [16:32] peragrate, what kind of phone? [16:32] Yet when I boot up with it plugged in, on the phone end, it recognizes the computer and asks me if I want to initiate a mass storage or com port session. I've tried them all. [16:33] peragrate: or if the data is on a removable crad try a card reader [16:33] I was about to give up when I noticed that network manager was detecting the phone as a possible cellular connection: but it's grayed out and can't be accessed. [16:33] ah, on http://olivers.posterous.com/build-xv-on-ubuntu there is the tutorial [16:33] So the phone is detected by Ubuntu on some level, and it charges when plugged into the computer, but I can't interface with it as a user... [16:33] peragrate: try disconnecting the internate and try [16:33] I need the script that prints a list of shells installed in the system, but do not use as a starter by any user. [16:33] ComradeHaz`, thanks the software center was exactly what I was looking for! [16:33] In the target directory there are the requested files with ".c" at the end. What might I do? [16:34] * amal029 --->check [16:34] peragrate, how many different computers have you plugged the phone into? [16:34] tf_: no worries :) [16:34] peragrate, what kind of phone? Is it an android phone? [16:34] LurchiderLurch, there are lots of .deb and source files for xv. Some work and some don't. I keep trying different ones until one works [16:34] In the last month month and a variety of windows computer (maybe two or three) at internet cafes near my house... [16:35] I've been having severely choppy sound in wine. [16:35] is this the proper place for help on ndiswrapper compilation? [16:35] hey guys [16:35] I'm ssh-ed in a server. [16:35] What's the command to see the (My)SQL version? [16:35] No. It's an generic chinese phone. I think I said that as long as I've owned this phone, with this ubuntu install, I've never had problems. [16:35] peragrate, what kind of phone? [16:35] LurchiderLurch, there is even one with staticly linked libs, libs included with install file [16:35] #winehq directed me back here, as it's a pulseaudio thing, not a wine thing [16:36] peragrate, what kind of OS System is on that phone? [16:36] But the system is acting a little funny. For example, one day I woke up and tried to access a folder throught the "Places" menu: everything in that menu now opens with VLC!!! I have no idea how to fix that either. [16:36] Are user crontabs run in Ubuntu even when the user's not logged in? [16:36] hey quick question: enabled ufw but forgot to open ssh port, now i rebooted and cant login :( am i screwed? [16:37] ola [16:37] peragrate, can't you simply take a memory card out of the phone? [16:37] Anyone knows a decent place for hard drive data recovery?? [16:37] Anyone know of an application that can split a 5 pages PDF into 5 separate PDFS command line? [16:37] peragrate: seen fixs fir that at some sites. the file assiocation for folders got set to be vlv [16:37] I don't know about the OS. I really don't know much about phones. It was bought in Asia, but as I said, I've never had any software issues or connection issues before and I've never used any software between the phone and computer at all. ever. [16:37] Tinkerer1: You will need some kind of virtual console access to the system, or be physically at the system. [16:37] seivan: pdftk probably can [16:37] anyone? [16:38] It's 11:30 pm here. I can't go buy additional hardware right now. [16:38] I really don't think it's hardware guys. [16:38] Hal is recognizing the mobile.

What should I type? [16:40] peragrate: type in dmesg once, then plug in the phone and do another dmesg and see the new lines [16:40] ok === fn is now known as Soci3ty [16:40] peragrate: maybe we can find out if it uses mass storage or something else (mass storage would be a lot easier) [16:41] I have tried running the wine programs under padsp, but that's what allows me to hear anything at all... albeit so choppy that all sound is impossible to tolerate [16:41] Result phone unplugged: Should we go into a private chat? because the output of dmesg is very very long: lots of: [ 2405.641331] fxz-hw_cdc_ioctl: callec [16:41] !list [16:41] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

For some reason, every once in awhile my network connection on Ubuntu gets all messed up. It still technically says that I have a connection but I can't ping any websites or local computers. I've tried different cables, different routers, and even booted into windows and had a connection fine. Any ideas? [17:34] josephwegner: what connection type? [17:34] beniwtv, hard line [17:35] josephwegner: ethernet? [17:35] thanks, but I know how to do it on wired network, I'm looking for help to configure a wireless network [17:35] beniwtv, yeah, sry. [17:35] simontol: use the network applet, there should be an option to "create a network" [17:35] then just connect to it with the other computer [17:36] It would be greatly appreciated If anyone could provide some information/guide/tutorial/anything about setting up a dial-up connection on 11.04, thanks in advance [17:36] josephwegner: if the drop-out happens, do you still see an IP address on the interface? [17:36] beniwtv, yep - I have a static IP.. still says I've got it [17:37] josephwegner: have you checked the dmesg command for any error messages there? [17:37] hey i just want to know if i am allowed to pist the video games of my son, he does some awsome video games with you tube [17:37] beniwtv, ehh, no. Is there anything specific I should grep for, or just scan for errors? [17:37] post [17:37] http://www.youtube.com/monroesmith [17:37] josephwegner: I would just scan for errors [17:38] hi I want to get default login session to terminal rather than gui.. how do i get it ?

The only network-related error said that there were no no IPv6 routers present.. but that shouldn't matter..? [17:40] josephwegner: no, that message is harmless [17:41] beniwtv, well it does say this: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [17:41] beniwtv, that's directly before teh IPv6 message [17:41] josephwegner: any messages about "link down"? [17:41] can anybody help me with built-in camera problem ? Ubuntu doesn't recognize my laptop's camera [17:41] thankyou for letting me know OerHeks [17:41] beniwtv, lots of them on SATA drives.. one that says eth0 link is not ready, then followed by that one about the link becoming ready [17:41] ok I've narrowed my problem down: when the password prompt shows up, I think it's showing up on the wrong display [17:42] any way to configure where the prompt shows up? [17:42] josephwegner: ok, are these repeating? [17:42] has someone installed succesfully chrome os on 256MB RAM system? [17:42] beniwtv, no, just one of each [17:42] josephwegner: ok, then we can rule out cable and speed signaling problems [17:42] beniwtv, check :) [17:43] josephwegner: now, if you try deactivating the interface and then activating it again do you get Internet again? [17:45] Hi; [17:45] I was trying to install a patched driver, so i updgraded my kernel-headers with apt-get. I ended up with 2 kernel-header folders, one was the obsolete one. i was then advised to run: [17:45] apt-get remove linux-headers prepare-kernel-sources [17:45] Then i went to usr/src and i had 2 versions of linux-source [17:45] what can be wrong, and how can i fix this? (already tried rebooting and autoremove) [17:45] dttys: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:45] beniwtv, sorry, laptop mysteriously unplugged itself and died. Missed everything after my last message,. [17:46] josephwegner: ok, if you try deactivating the interface and then activating it again do you get Internet again? [17:48] beniwtv, what is the command to deactivate the interface? === josephwegner_ is now known as josephwegner [17:49] josephwegner_: try sudo ifdown then sudo ifup === bob921 is now known as bwbarker === bert__ is now known as Guest374 [17:51] beniwtv, hmm. The interface would usually be eth0, right? it's saying "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=etho." [17:51] Hello! I tried to follow a tutorial to install the old xv on Ubuntu and I am stuck on the last step [17:51] josephwegner: depends, try sudo ifconfig to see [17:51] ah, on http://olivers.posterous.com/build-xv-on-ubuntu there is the tutorial [17:51] beniwtv, yeah, ifconfig shows eth0 and lo [17:51] In the target directory there are the requested files with ".c" at the end. What might I do? [17:52] josephwegner: are you using NetworkManager? [17:52] beniwtv, nope. [17:52] beniwtv, also, now ifdown says "interface eth0 not configured" [17:52] josephwegner: how did you configure the interface? [17:52] josephwegner: what do you want to do?? set a static IP? [17:53] josephwegner: "sudo ifconfig eth0 inet netmask up" [17:53] SIFTU, my internet connection randomly gets lost. Ubuntu still says link is up, and the same cable/switch/router combination works in windows [17:53] beniwtv, well, for that I used Network Connections (the default for Ubuntu. I would imagine we are talking about the same thing) [17:54] josephwegner: yes, that's NetworkManager [17:54] josephwegner: and when it doesnt work what does "ifconfig eth0" tell you [17:54] beniwtv, ah. then yes [17:54] SIFTU, everything looks normal in ifconfig [17:54] josephwegner: so you can just click the connection icon, click "disconnect" then select the configuration to connect [17:54] josephwegner: that'll do the same as ifdown and ifup [17:55] josephwegner: so you have IP address etc, and your default route exists in "netstat -rn" [17:55] beniwtv, no luck [17:55] SIFTU: He can not even ping other computers, that's the strange thing [17:56] josephwegner: So Internet hasn't returned when you did that? [17:56] ah ok, on the same network.. josephwegner what network card? [17:56] SIFTU, hmm.. netstat has some odd output. Let me paste it... [17:56] <__serial> Automated ubuntu update script!

[18:03] josephwegner: or, to rephrase, on the internal network you should have 192.168.x [18:03] meta_coder: you can check with freenode documentation, or ask in #freenode [18:03] meta_coder: #freenode [18:04] josephwegner: /etc/network/interfaces looks something like this?

[18:06] SIFTU, that file has two lines.. one says "auto lo" the other says "iface lo inet loopback" [18:06] beniwtv: then why did you say to use ifup and if down? [18:06] beniwtv: "man interfaces" [18:06] SIFTU: because I hadn't established he was using NM [18:06] beniwtv, two lines. First is "192.2.40.199 ether M:A:C:X;X;X;X;X C eth0 [18:07] beniwtv, the second is "192.2.40.1 ether M:A;C:0:0;0:0 C etho" [18:07] josephwegner: sounds right, too [18:07] etho [18:08] etho doesnt sound right [18:08] SIFTU, eth0.. sorry [18:08] I have modem with is set up on bridge mode atm (I need to set it up like this get use of external IP). I've setted up like they sad on info page, but now I need to set up Linux machine to get this IP. I have my PPPoE login/pass. People on phone from my ISP told me that I need to set up bridge on (or over) PPPoE to get it work. [18:08] ok [18:08] Anyone can help? [18:08] SIFTU, type too fast for my own good [18:08] josephwegner: the only strange this about this is the 192.2.x range, but I can not imagine any reason this should exhibit this problem [18:08] josephwegner: thats ok [18:08] anybody? xrdp using xrdp but password prompt doesn't show when trying to run administrative tasks? [18:08] beniwtv, it never has caused problems in the past. We've been on that network for years and years [18:09] hi guys [18:09] josephwegner: sure, that's why I can't think of any problem. Though you would not be able to access any web sites or services in the 192.2.x range [18:09] i have some problems with grub, can anybody help me? [18:09] beniwtv, oh boy - is that a valid external IP range? I suppose I should have that conversation with my boss sometime soon [18:10] i have installed ubuntu 11.04 in sda3 partition [18:10] after that, i have installed gnewsense distro in sda1 [18:10] josephwegner: yes, that's a valid range [18:10] gnewsense has putted an old grub in my mbr, and dont see ubuntu partition [18:11] josephwegner: but as I said I do not think this is the source of your problem [18:11] i have stolen gnewsense partition (sda1) and now grub say: grub rescue> === MichealH is now known as ecks [18:11] i need to boot sda3 with my ubuntu 11.04 partition [18:12] any idea? [18:12] Zotac, boot on a live CD and reinstall grub from there [18:12] hey all. anyone know anything about getting ubuntu to recognize the wireless built into a new mac mini? [18:12] beniwtv, any more ideas, or am I pretty much just sitting this one out till it works again? [18:13] Zotac, you'll find instructions on how to do that there : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [18:13] hi glebihan, i have made it, i have boot with a ubuntu 11.04 live, i have maked root, i have maked: grub-install /dev/sda [18:13] josephwegner: not really, it sounds like the driver, maybe check google for issues with the chipset [18:13] but it doesnt work [18:13] the grub stage1 run in gnewsense style [18:13] josephwegner: also since you tried more routers, probably the router is not the problem either [18:13] and then, menu is over [18:14] grub rescue> shell appers [18:14] i'm getting poor sound quality with ALSA, ubuntu 10.10 [18:15] i need someone to help me configure ALSa properly, and also disable pulseaudio (not uninstalling it) [18:16] so first, which packages do i want to install with alsa? === MichealH is now known as nothere [18:17] buenas [18:17] galera [18:18] i'm trying to compile a driver for my chipset in backtrack; my kernel headers didnt match my kernel version, so i updated them with apt-get [18:18] qndo rodo uma pagina que usa cgi, aparece a opção de download :/ [18:18] I ended with 2 versions of the headers intalled so i ran: [18:18] apt-get remove linux-headers prepare-kernel-sources === nothere is now known as MH0 [18:18] !pt | grep yokobr [18:18] then, when i checked linux-source i got this: http://pastebin.com/Nzj3jLPn [18:18] grep yokobr: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[18:18] Should i remove all sources except for the first and last one? [18:19] out of a couple of hundreds, someone gotta know how to install ALSA here? [18:19] sorry wrong channel [18:20] TehAndrewRyan: ALSA is already installed by default [18:20] beniwtv: yes but i want to use it instead of PulseAudio since i'm getting sick latency in skype [18:20] TehAndrewRyan, sure, but those people probably aren't here. Like beniwtv said, ALSA comes by default. [18:20] 2 questions, how do I turn on my web cam in Ubuntu and why would my webcam video in skype be upside down? [18:22] ha ha [18:22] TehAndrewRyan, PulseAudio is a server for handling input/output on top of ALSA, it doesn't run standalone. You can disable it by running sudo service pulseaudio stop | sudo killall pulseaudio you'll need to disable it's startup script too, but I don't know how to do that [18:22] TehAndrewRyan: I'm not experiencing any lag here in Skype, so I'm not much of a help here. [18:22] Polah: i have already made a script which kills pulseaudio and prevents it from autostarting again [18:23] Polah: i'm for some reason getting weird sound quality with alsa though [18:23] TehAndrewRyan, that's not a very clean way to do it [18:23] Hi everybody [18:23] I am asking these questions for my daughter as she is using 11.04 my son in law tells me that last week they used the camera and it was normal??? [18:23] Yes, you should disable it on startup, not just make a script to run to disable it afterwards. [18:24] i need ur help [18:24] someone can help me [18:24] Polah: AFAIK it runs with each user session, not on system startup [18:24] The easiest was it System > Preferences > Startup Applications and then uncheck PulseAudio Sound System [18:24] !ask | Malvoro [18:24] Malvoro: 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. :-) [18:25] beniwtv: Yes, actually you're right [18:25] Polah, beniwtv : actually half-right : there's also a daemon started on boot [18:25] how comes i'm getting about 2000 ms latency in skype? i can talk, but others don't hear me until about 2 seconds later [18:25] jajaj sorry thaks i have a problem with the mount comand i cant mount my mp3 player in my ubuntu 10.10 === ajf|offline is now known as ajf [18:26] glebihan, I guess the daemon is there to start pulseaudio for the user? [18:26] glebihan: hum... could be. last time I remember the startup script just erroring out with "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions..." but that could have change now [18:26] has been a while since I had to touch sound... [18:26] beniwtv, actually that's what I get when I restart the service [18:27] my terminal dosent displays the unicode fonts correctly, while i copy the text to gedit, it displays properly, how to solve this in terminal [18:27] TenAndrewRyan what sound distro are you using [18:27] iText: paste here a line of problematic text [18:27] iText: make sure your terminal is set to UTF-8 characters [18:28] iText: what's the output of the locale command? [18:28] Polah, beniwtv : it seems to depend on configuration, pulseaudio can run either on a system level or on a user level [18:28] Is it possible to have multiple bluetooth headsets connected and functioning simultaneously one on BT radio/adapter? [18:28] locale dosent prompts utf8 [18:29] glebihan: yes, you're right. But I think Ubuntu only does user sessions [18:29] LANG = en_IN [18:29] beniwtv, looks like it's the default [18:29] iText: you're missing the UTF-8 support, it should say en_IN.UTF-8. [18:29] beniwtv: how to set this LANG to utf8? [18:30] beniwtv: it does displays some chars properly but not all [18:31] terminal/set chat encoding/ [18:31] char* [18:31] iText: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-select-and-generate-locales-on-ubuntu.html === fr0sted is now known as fr0sted-bnc [18:32] * iText is trying the link given === david is now known as Guest41838 [18:33] Could someone help me with a video problem My daughter is using 11.04 and her webcam on the laptop is showin the image upside down it was normal last week [18:34] Will user cron jobs be run when the user is not logged in? [18:34] bluebomber_satel: yep. [18:34] bluebomber_satel: yes [18:35] bluebomber_satel: they may not if you have an encrypted home for your user. [18:35] maheanuu: that could be anything on the video processing path [18:36] h00k, beniwtv : Thanks. They will be run as that user from that user's home directory? [18:36] bronto, where do I start, when you go to test in skype it shows you upside down/// [18:36] bluebomber_satel: yes, but take care of what Pici said, encrypted home will not work [18:37] maheanuu: do you have to use some 3rd party drivers for the webcam? [18:38] No, not to my knowledge the computer is an Asus laptop that was given to my daughter and I installed 11.04 on it and it was working fine until yesterday and they used skype and the image is upside down now, before it was normal [18:39] Bronto, it was normal until yesterday [18:39] maheanuu: It could also be a update you applied, like a kernel update that changed something in the driver [18:40] Ok beniwtv I was thinking the same thing she does the auto update and it might have messed with the kernel [18:41] maheanuu: It would be nice to find out which kernel module it uses and see if there is any parameter [18:41] i am trying to connect to a wifi network but it gives me time out. the signal level shows -79dBm. how can i connect to this access point? === larry is now known as Guest26815 [18:41] any way to make iwconfig connect to the access point? [18:42] Ok, I will be going to my daughters house this morning, I will look at it and also see what has happened. I am now at my place and until I go there I really do not have a true handle on the situation [18:42] Thanks for everone who answered and I will be back.... [18:43] Pici, beniwtv: Many thanks. [18:44] Video4Linux in the Software center has a fix for that, [18:45] is there anyway to run conky ina terminal [18:45] hey, in synaptic, is glade-gnome (GTK+ 2 User Interface Builder (with GNOME 2 support)) the same thing as glade interface designer? [18:45] in a console only environment [18:46] bc i dont see glade interface designer [18:46] chris215, it's the same [18:47] chris215: there should be glade (3.8.0) and glade-gnome [18:47] chris215, well about the same anyway, but you should also see glade in there [18:47] glebaron: so i will have the gui? [18:47] chris215, yes [18:47] b/c i can download it from glade.gnome.org to be safe [18:47] anybody have ever succeed in fix a broken ubuntu 11.04 installation (after gnome3 mess up) [18:48] glebaron: but if its better than i will just use synaptic [18:48] it happened recently (2 days ago), after some weird updates [18:48] Can you run conky in a terminal? [18:48] brunoborges, you shouldn't have installed gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04 in the first place [18:49] brunoborges, it's unstable and unsupported [18:49] glebihan: I had gnome3 running fine for months [18:49] glebihan: but some update 2 days ago messed up with it [18:49] zahh: It's a X app, so no [18:49] brunoborges, then you were lucky for months [18:49] glebihan: I don't mind to not have gnome3, actually I'm looking for a way to repair my installation with xubuntu [18:50] beniwtv: Ah thanks. Know of a terminal only alternative? [18:50] zahh: you could try compiling it with --disable-x11 [18:50] zahh: byobu is nice, but I don't know if that's what you're after [18:50] my wireless adapter times out. how can i force iwconfig to connect to this ap? Frequency:2.442 GHz (Channel 7) Quality=48/100 Signal level:-78 dBm Noise level=-127 dBm [18:51] Alright. thanks guys ill look into both [18:51] brunoborges, the problem is, by installing gnome3, you also switched to gtk3 (and I'm not sure at all how well xfce supports it) [18:51] zahh: as beniwtv said, its really an X app [18:51] glebihan: let's consider I removed a lot of things, and now I only have console and irssi ? :-) [18:51] glebihan: I'm still not able to install ubuntu-desktop === Seryth is now known as Seryth|mang0 [18:52] brunoborges, what errors do you get ? [18:52] brunoborges, what error do you get whe nyou try? [18:52] glebihan: it states some dependencies are not met, like "Depends: libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.88) but it is not going to be installed" [18:52] brunoborges, Are you trying to install 11.04? [18:52] glebihan: but that lib is installed and at version 0.9 === Seryth|mang0 is now known as Seryth [18:52] brunoborges, did you remove the gnome3 ppa from your sources ? [18:53] brunoborges: probably you still have the new libs installed, which is causing that problem [18:53] glebihan: I only have natty sources [18:53] glebihan: is there any way to revert that ? [18:53] glebihan: not really: Package: libdbus-glib-1-2 [18:53] anyways is -78 dbm too weak? [18:53] Versions: [18:53] 0.92-0ubuntu1 (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages) [18:53] hello [18:54] brunoborges, could you pastebin the complete error message ? [18:54] prakas: depends, I giuess. Have you tried moving closer? === Guest65632 is now known as tetsuo-- [18:55] beniwtv: yes but it shows times out in dmesg|tail [18:55] glebihan: no I cannot pastebin (no browser, remember?) [18:55] Do the kernels from "mainline" include any ubuntu specific patches? [18:55] glebihan: I only have console and irssi for now [18:55] brunoborges, no need for a browser, use the pastebinit application [18:55] prakas: Tmeout associating, i presume? Or DHCP timeout? [18:55] what could be causing 100% cpu usager visable in the system montior, when all processes listed say 0% cpu [18:55] tetsuo--: check it in top also [18:55] tetsuo--: try the "top" command [18:56] tetsuo--: i'd trust top over system monitor [18:56] glebihan: ? [18:56] glebihan: what pastebinit? [18:56] brunoborges, install pastebinit [18:56] through terminal right? [18:56] pastebinit? hmmm, [18:56] glebihan: can't install that [18:56] brunoborges, then run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | pastebinit" [18:56] tetsuo--: yep [18:56] brunoborges, why ? [18:56] I have a modem that can give ipv6 and ipv4 ... right now dhclient gives me v6 ... can i tell it i want a v4 address? [18:56] neat :) [18:57] ok yop works, its says mount.ntfs is using the most cpy time followed by nautilus [18:57] glebihan: because apt-get is Unable to locate package pastebinit [18:57] hi all [18:57] tetsuo--: Are you copying any files? [18:57] beniwtv: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:80:48:69:91:ca timed out [18:57] ooh, nautilus extension also. [18:57] beniwtv: yes i am [18:58] brunoborges, then either you didn't restore your software sources to the natty ones or you didn't run "apt-get update" [18:58] i am here on behalf of my frnd. who is using ubuntu 10.10. he has configured internet mobil connection (reliance netconnect) and gprs conection it was working fine sudennly yesterday he is not able to connect and there is a exclamation mark in his network applet saying tat network manager is not running. [18:58] kswapd0 is also using a lot on once in a while [18:58] tetsuo--: ok, just out of curiosity, what system specs? [18:58] glebihan: that nautilus pastbinit extension any user? [18:58] glebihan: what's the easiest way to revert some lib to the latest version in natty repository ? [18:58] any use i mean. [18:59] beniwtv: did u see? wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:80:48:69:91:ca timed out [18:59] brunoborges, uninstall it and reinstall it after making sure you really have *only* the official repositories in your sources.list [18:59] Featurefreak, what ? [18:59] glebihan: guess it's gonna be a long night [18:59] glebihan: =) [18:59] prakas: almost missed it, seems like it's not getting any response from the AP [18:59] brunoborges, could be ;) [18:59] prakas: Do you use some sort of MAC filtering on the AP? [19:00] glebihan: is there any command that removes everything except base system ? [19:00] glebihan: how do I list groups ? [19:01] glebihan: there's a nautilus pastebinit extension in the repos, just wondered if you''d tried it. [19:01] brunoborges, no no such command afaik [19:01] glebihan: shit [19:01] brunoborges, you mean user groups ? [19:01] glebihan: package groups [19:01] beniwtv: a cheapish core2duo with 3gb of ram [19:01] Featurefreak, I have it installed but don't think I ever actually used it [19:02] glebihan: yeh, not sure i'd really use that either.. [19:02] I have installed Apache on my PC, and I have a problem, because I do not get up any error message when I'm wrong in my php script [19:02] beniwtv: no it is not mac filtered [19:02] brunoborges, what do you mean by package groups ? [19:02] magnus: ##php [19:02] tetsuo--: Strange it would take up so much CPU. What's the network bandwidth? [19:02] prakas: ok, maybe a driver problem then, which chipset is it? [19:02] magnus, that's a configuration in your php.ini [19:03] beniwtv: intel 3945abg [19:03] beniwtv: 0 [19:03] Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. My question: I have 2 network cards in my computer. How do I determine which one performs better so I can use it as the main one? One is PCI Intel 82541G gigabit controller the other is an on-board Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI express gigabit controller [19:03] magnus, check the value of the "error_reporting" configuration directive in php.ini [19:03] ok so, were in the php.ini file do i config it? [19:03] ok :) [19:03] i am here on behalf of my frnd. who is using ubuntu 10.10. he has configured internet mobil connection (reliance netconnect) and gprs conection it was working fine sudennly yesterday he is not able to connect and there is a exclamation mark in his network applet saying tat network manager is not running. [19:03] prakas: Never had Intel, so not sure how the drivers are. Try searching for Linux problems with that chipset in google. [19:04] magnus, everything you should need is explained in the file itself [19:04] beniwtv: ive been following it for a while now, and it seems to average out at 50% cpu usage with regular peaks as high as 100% (both cores) [19:04] tetsuo--: 0? [19:04] ok :( [19:04] beniwtv: network reciving and sending is both 0bytes/s [19:05] tetsuo--: Oh, ok. Files do still transfer or has it stalled? [19:05] ive also noticed that my copying speed has slowed from 25mb/s to 13,6mb sec [19:05] beniwtv: still copying [19:05] <_viking> what is a good programming language for a high school student to learn first? my goal is learn the guts behind network protocols like https, pop etc [19:05] tetsuo--: ok, so the network can't be 0bytes then. 25mb/s it pretty good === tetsuo-- is now known as tetsuo55 [19:06] glebihan is it this you mean? error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED [19:06] _viking: python [19:07] <_viking> jrib thanks, but why python [19:07] tetsuo--: Depending on the disk usage, you might have high I/O which is causing this. The new kernel in Oneiric should help with those issues. For now, I wouldn't worry if it copies fine [19:07] magnus, that's right [19:07] ok, but i still got no error message :S [19:07] magnus: have you checked /var/log/apache/error.log? [19:07] _viking: because I really like it :D It's a high level language with good syntax choices, a library for anything you want, and plenty of support [19:07] apache2* [19:07] no [19:08] magnus, there is also the "display_errors" [19:08] magnus: fatal errors go there [19:08] beniwtv: im copying from DiskA to diskB [19:08] _viking: in reality, you should try doing some intro tutorial for a bunch of languages and then choose the one you enjoy the most [19:08] tetsuo55: ronald... :P [19:08] magnus, and you have to run 'sudo service apache2 reload' once you're done with modifying the php.ini [19:08] ok [19:09] _viking: I also like Vala, which is a high-level language that compiles down to C code [19:09] brunoborges: i dont get it [19:09] _viking: And has integration with almost all gnome libs [19:09] /aprt [19:09] for a highschool student? [19:09] learn bash. [19:09] Still got no error message :S [19:09] tetsuo55: sorry, I thought was a friend of mine [19:10] please learn bash scripting. and PERL. and python. and ruby. [19:10] brunoborges: ahh ok, no sorry [19:10] magnus, did you also check the "display_errors" directive ? [19:10] hey how do you trigger a "channel emergency" alert? [19:10] same adress? [19:10] <_viking> sysadamin i'm in form three here in zimbabwe, which translates to grade eight in the states [19:10] <_viking> which i'm guessing is where you are [19:11] magnus, same file yes, it should be just below the error_reporting one [19:11] i am here on behalf of my frnd. who is using ubuntu 10.10. he has configured internet mobil connection (reliance netconnect) and gprs conection it was working fine sudennly yesterday he is not able to connect and there is a exclamation mark in his network applet saying tat network manager is not running. [19:11] Zimbabwe... wow How are things over there? [19:11] <_viking> politics, racism, violence except for where i live, the wealth suburbs [19:11] <_viking> wealthy [19:11] no racism there? [19:12] beniwtv: now kswapd0 has been using 100% cpu for a longer than usual time [19:12] learner: usually that means that NetworkManager is not running and/or has crashed. Try "sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart" === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [19:12] tetsuo55: that means it's swapping something - you can check with free -m [19:13] got it now :) [19:13] tnx [19:13] tetsuo55: Also it swaps from time to time so this is nothing strange [19:13] magnus, you're welcome [19:14] So, my machine is useable, but still royally screwed up after trying to remove the ATI driver. Now I have two heads hooked up, but one always overlaps the other, and is set at horribly low resolution. [19:14] beniwtv: says 700 used 8000 free [19:14] How can I use "bind" to run a shell script? bind \\ /home/user/bin/script.sh ?? Will that run script.sh when C-a \ is pressed? [19:14] ram is only 22 free [19:14] beniwtv: it shows this result sudo: /etc/init.d/NetworkManager: command not found [19:14] tetsuo55: seems normal [19:15] is there any way i can make it copy faster? 13,6 is no where near the theoretical max for sata disks [19:15] learner: /etc/init.d/networkmanager on new version [19:16] tetsuo55: Probably not, it depends on a lot of things. Mainboard, chipset drivers, etc... [19:16] tetsuo55: Most rotatating, and even most SSD sata discs can't touch the theoretical limit for a moment, let alone saturate it. [19:16] beniwtv: what should i do now? [19:16] learner: Did it do anything? [19:16] one thing more, how to delete a file using terminal? [19:17] Hello. In gun-screen, how can I use "bind" to run a shell script? bind \\ /home/user/bin/script.sh ?? Will that run script.sh when C-a \ is pressed? [19:17] is there a way to search for packages that do not origin from natty repo ? [19:17] with apt [19:17] brunoborges, I would think you would have to add 3rd party repos to do that [19:17] agentgasmask: Not sure at all how to do that, but if you're not getting an answer, try posting the question in a forum, like superuser.com or linuxquestinos. [19:18] dweez: I want to know which packages are installed in my PC, but are not from Natty official repo [19:18] _viking are there a lot of people on the downlow in Zimbabwe that I could hookup with? [19:18] agentgasmask: Actually, I didn't even know you could bind scripts to screen like that, so when you find out, I wanna know! [19:18] <_viking2> Merdam hmm? [19:18] people in the closet [19:18] yeah but still, 13,7 is slow for a disk that benchmarks around 100 burst and 70 sustained [19:19] Africans with large proboscises [19:19] <_viking2> yeah man sodomy will get you a life sentence here [19:19] any white people where you live? [19:19] tetsuo55: It was giving you a sustaned transfer of not even 14MB/sec? [19:19] <_viking2> and i'm a european-african [19:19] <_viking2> i live in borrowdale brooke, it's all white here man [19:19] I thought they kicked the whites out of Zimbabwe [19:19] kyle__: current copy speed is less than 14 right now, top speed ive seen today was 25 [19:19] <_viking2> mostly people of dutch, british and german descent [19:20] kyle__: im used to seeing 30-60 [19:20] beniwtv: it gives this result bash: /etc/init.d/networkmanager: No such file or directory [19:20] <_viking2> no they took a few thousand white owned commercial farms [19:20] tetsuo55: Are you maybe, copying using ssh or rsync over ssh? [19:20] <_viking2> there are a few hundred thousand whites left [19:20] <_viking2> i think [19:20] learner: did you by any chance remove network-manager? [19:20] kyle__: im on the desktop itself, using liveCD, to copy the home folder from physical drive A to physical Drive B [19:21] beniwtv :no [19:21] learner, the file is called "network-manager", not "networkmanager" [19:21] beniwtv: ok i will try tat [19:21] tetsuo55: Humm. Well, I suppose the live cd may be using unoptimized drivers. I deffinately don't see it be that slow when I do that sort of thing here. [19:21] learner, advice: use tab-completion more often [19:21] rumpe1: ooops, I think you're right [19:21] to ssh my server outside from internet should i port forward eg port 22 [19:21] kyle__: thats why i came here and asked for help, it seems extraordinary slow [19:22] kyle__: I'll be sure to pass on the info. There is this line from the screen man file for running a telnet session: bind ^f screen telnet foobar It says it will open a new screen "window" and run a telnet to "foobar". I didn't think screen has a bilt in telnet, so I'm gessing it is running system programs. I'll keep looking === dunia_ is now known as fire^fox [19:22] tetsuo55: What's it like when you're booted into the local installation on that box? And are those drives ext2/3/4 ntfs, ufs? Are they mounted using fuse? [19:23] j0bi, i would advice a non-default port for forwarding, at least on your router. Port 22 on the net is often under attack. [19:23] !ping [19:23] another contentless ping... sigh... [19:23] kyle__: local install they max out the connection, so 30-60 depending on the place on the platter, the one disk is ext(whatever ubuntu10.10 made it) and the other seems to be ntfs [19:24] rumpe1: yes i agree i just ask if i should port forward ? [19:24] rumpe1: you know you can always setup ssh to accept key-only authentication :) makes brute forcing a ton harder. [19:24] for ssh to work from outside? [19:24] j0bi, how else does the router knows, where he should send the ssh-connection-requests? [19:24] okz thanks [19:24] hi [19:25] I am new in linux [19:25] I want to [19:25] tetsuo55: The slow down could be the ntfs. The only decent way to mount ntfs is using ntfs3g, wich is fuse. Fuse runs userspace, not kernelspace. That slowdown could be entirely fuse & ntfs. [19:25] <_viking2> zimbabwe has the largest amount of ubuntu users per capita vs anywhere else on the planet, that's pretty cool if you ask me, it's 'cause ms windows is so expensive and ubuntu zimbabwe gives out cd's for free [19:25] kyle__: would cherry picking updates relate dto those functions in the livecd work you think? [19:25] change content of boot/grub/grub.conf [19:25] help improve performance? [19:25] kyle__, well... non-default port reduces traffic and cpu-time for stupid bruteforce-scripts. [19:25] kyle_ whats the diff from running it at user and kernel? [19:25] but I am not able [19:26] can any one help me plaese? [19:26] j0bi, rumpe1 you'd also need to configure the SSH server to listen on the other port [19:26] ishinozaki: Most mount processies are run in kernel space, like when you mount ext3 or xfs or reiserfs. That's in the kernel, which always has the highest priority. [19:27] did you recommend running it at kernel or user? [19:27] <_viking2> why does /var/cache/apt/archives keep .deb files after they're installed? [19:27] ishinozaki: FUSE runs the mount processes as the user, in user space, with the priority and access of the user. Nice becuase then the user doesn't need any root access to mount. Not nice, because it's slower. [19:27] _viking2, so you don't have to download them again for a reinstall [19:28] _viking2: Because if a user wants to reinstall something they don't need to redownload the packages and can just use them from there, or move them elsewhere to reinstall elsewhere [19:28] ishinozaki: It all depends on what you need & what you want to do. But kernelspace is faster than userspace. No two ways about it. [19:28] when we talk about priority it means performance? [19:29] i see, that made sense. [19:29] ishinozaki: Not directly. A higher priority means when a process wants to run, it gets to run before processes of lower priority. It can affect performance, but isn't performance. [19:29] Hey my scroll wheel oesn't work for chrome, any way to enable it? [19:30] let me get one thing clarified: no root access reflects good security and convenience? [19:30] <_viking2> is there anyway to retrieve or change the root password if you forget it? [19:30] ishinozaki, no complete, unrestricted root access reflects good security [19:31] running in userspace allows that? [19:31] _viking2: Yes, you can boot to a recovery console or probably chroot from a live session to do so. [19:31] <_viking2> Polah thanks [19:31] we have a project server and have moved buildings. we have plugged it and the computers can find the server, just cannot connect. [19:31] Alternately sudo would allow you to do it too, from a sudo-enabled admin account [19:32] i am trying to further understand sudo [19:32] how can I find out what packages are installed on my system? [19:33] because from the way i see it, if i run something malicious under sudo its no different from being root [19:33] ishinozaki, it allows authorised users (users that are allowed to use sudo for commands) to run commands as root temporarily. [19:33] glebaron, dpkg -l | grep ^ii [19:34] hello [19:34] ishinozaki, sudo can be restricted to only allow usage of certain commands, so you can restrict the abilities of users using sudo and forces users to think about what they're doing before actually doing it, preventing accidental damage. Having access to a root account allows totally unrestricted, unquestioned access to anything, increasing the risk of damage [19:34] l [19:35] how can i access the server, it's stuck on "connecting" but when i click "connect" it doesn't work. [19:35] rumpel, thanks ! [19:35] i see, would you know how similar that is implemented in windows now these days? [19:35] getting the "connection failed. the server may not exsist or it is not operational at this time. check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again." error [19:37] ishinozaki, Windows can UAC which attempts to stop users running admin-level commands unrestricted and asks them to confirm what they're doing, but it doesn't actually stop permission elevation and suchlike for malicious softwares. Implementation of sudo allows authorised users to run commands as root temporarily but is actually effective at stopping malicious programs. Check this link out for the benefits and downsides of sudo: https://h [19:37] elp.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:38] you mean the implementation of uac is more of validation? [19:40] ishinozaki, UAC is just "Are you sure you want to do this, yes or no?". sudo is "Are you sure you want to do this, do your user account have proper authorisation to do this through sudo and are you that user (do you know the user password)?" [19:41] i see. its "may i do that" as opposed to "can i do that" [19:41] should i cancel the copy action before installing file-system related updates? === Centropy is now known as Sentropy [19:41] i assume i can resume it later by "skipping all files" that it finds [19:41] ugh [19:42] kyle__: OK, I've got it to work if you want me to message you the details. :) [19:42] <[DeVil-BoY]> hi everyone, [19:42] any reason i wouldn't be able to connect to the server. we've recently moved offices and now i can "find the server" just cannot get past the "connecting" phase. === testBOT is now known as Guest75635 [19:43] ishinozaki, somewhat. The user asks sudo to do a specific action and sudo then asks for authentication. Windows' UAC just appears when they try to do something and gives a yes/no option with no actual authentication, anybody can just click yes. It also doesn't stop malicious programs for accessing protected files, it just hinders the user really. sudo allows access to those authorised and that can authenticate and any other attempts that [19:43] doesn't have authorisation, can't authenticate or both are rejected [19:43] <[DeVil-BoY]> i have a laptop dell inspiron 6000 trying to install drivers for the 915GM adapter [19:43] <[DeVil-BoY]> can someone tell me which ones i need to download from that site [19:44] If I wanted to learn to hack/crack, where would you suggest I go? === Person is now known as CluelessPerson [19:44] [DeVil-BoY], the ones labelled "Linux Drivers", perhaps?

[19:52] I need to compile some projects on an ubuntu machine and I don't have the development libraries/apps that I need. [19:52] Anyone know why xorg sucks up 25-100% of my cpu? Seems to be a common problem, yet the many suggested solutions doesn't seem to work for me. [19:52] daharon: What libraries do you need? [19:52] hallman: rm -rf / [19:52] !danger [19:52] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [19:52] don't rly lol [19:52] I've also looked through the ubuntu wiki on X troubleshooting, HighCPU in particular.. I find it hard to believe that it's a client application. It's not software rasterizing. I've tried various drivers. Logs seem fine. [19:53] Styles, don't suggest that to people. [19:53] Polah: glib-devel, cups-devel, automake, etc. The development stuff. [19:53] o.0 [19:53] guess not a funny joke?

How could it NOT be funny that some poor trusting soul just wiped out his whole directory [19:54] damn, I fogot to add the tags [19:54] daharon, sudo apt-get install build-essentials may have all that, I don't know exactly.

[19:59] <[DeVil-BoY]> ActionParsnip so does that mean everything is working as it should [19:59] <[DeVil-BoY]> because really, the issue is video playback [19:59] What's the encryption shawn_?

[20:09] str8: what about it [20:10] kid: So you don't even know if the server is up now? [20:10] kid: Does the file access protocol have a specific IP defined? The other computers on the network could find it but if the IP were different then the attempts to connect could fail it they're attempting with a specific but now incorrect IP [20:10] it was setup before i got the job and i know a miniscule amount of networking. i just moved the box and plugged hoping it would play. [20:10] kid: Can you access the server? [20:11] kid: Through SSH or suchlike? [20:11] when i plug it, the computers can find it, they locate the server, however i'm stuck at the "connecting" stage. [20:11] i cannot enter my user/password. [20:11] alkisg, Radeon HD 3200 Graphics [20:12] kid: Your server, do you have phisical contact with it? [20:12] (sorry my husband needed attention ) [20:12] @fr0sted thats not it. [20:12] kid: If the IP is different, do you have a firewall in place that restricts access for various protocols except on certain IPs? [20:12] qin: it does. [20:13] it's simply a local server which allows us to network in house and work with the same files. [20:13] Hi folks. I was install empathy 3.x on ubuntu 11.04 from a PPA when my internet connection died. I had to ctrl+c the "apt-get install empathy". Now I keep getting errors saying I have broken package that cannot be fixed. I've tried "sudo apt-get install -f" and "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but it has not helped. [20:13] Why would my wireless connect to an unsecure network. But not my own? Maybe I'll try to reset the router and box. [20:14] http://pastebin.com/SmQLV2qt [20:14] it times out and gives me a "connection failed. the server may not exsist or it is not operational at this time. check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again." error [20:14] shawn_: If, say, you have an old wireless card in your box, that doesn't speak wpa2, you would be able to connect an insecure network, but not your own wpa2 secured network. [20:14] rellis: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get -f install use pastebin [20:14] oops.. this is the full error i get trying install now l in place that restricts access for various protocols except on certain IPs? [20:14] Its not old though [20:14] kid: And now you hanging on same lan what server? [20:15] here's the output from apt-get install -f .... http://pastebin.com/A9rs1dCb [20:15] ActionParsnip: ^ [20:15] qin: not following. [20:15] kid: Are you in work or home? [20:15] my desktop reads that it exists, it sees it. But keeps bringing up the password box like its not right. [20:16] in work [20:17] rellis: seems to be needing gnome3, just researching [20:17] i feel like it's something pretty simple. nothing complex. it's worked forever and we simply moved locations and now cannot connect. === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [20:17] if i get onto the server itself, i can connect to it with my personal computers password/un. however, i cannot connect to the server with my computer. [20:17] kid: Ok, make sure server is up (power up), what isconnected to network (lan port with light), do your server have rgb port for monitor? [20:18] ActionParsnip: The weird part is... the install went along fine before.. when I first added the PPA... i definitely have broken packages. [20:18] Hi, Idk if this is the right channel or not, I'm looking for help with Ubuntu Server [20:18] yes. plugged up monitor and keyboard. [20:19] kid: In server: ifconfig, check in clients configuration, ip you got from ifconfig on server. [20:19] qin, how would i do so? [20:19] ActionParsnip: This is what I get inside synpatic when I run Edit -> Fix Broken Packages ... http://pastebin.com/Wrxc9c8F [20:19] i know nothing. i'm the web developer and network guy can't be in until next week. [20:20] rellis: I'd contact the PPA maintainer to see what the score is === cmg is now known as cgermann [20:20] rellis, which ppa did you add ? [20:20] kid: On server: ifconfig, sudo netstat -tulp (to see what is running there) [20:21] The ppa I added was ppa:telepathy/ppa [20:21] I wanted empathy 3.x so I can block people... [20:22] Anyone have any idea why synaptic now throws these errors about "held packages"? === iqpi is now known as iqpi|cena [20:22] does anyone know if ubuntu vlc builds are broken? [20:23] ifconfig worked, showed a bunch of stuff. the other didn't because i don't have sudo pw. [20:23] rellis: I'd grab the ppa maintainer, it may need Gnome3 to satisfy deps so you will need to upgrade to Oneiric [20:23] rellis, did you try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? [20:23] silverarrow: no issues with it here [20:23] no i did not.. [20:23] I'm gonna do some compiling and styff is there any good sudo apt-get install build-essensials readline etc anyone could point me to [20:23] How do I make a .jpg into my screensaver? [20:23] ? [20:23] the reason I think you're wrong is because the install started up without ocmplaining about deps the first time around [20:23] hi [20:23] like now I'm also missing zlinc [20:23] I just lost ALL of my xchat channels [20:24] zlibc [20:24] it's only now after ctrl+c the apt-get instal lthat it complains.. [20:24] can anyone help me? [20:24] I also get these errors from synaptic telling me a have broken packages [20:24] so it seems to me that's the root of the problem [20:24] Hey everyone [20:24] rellis, that's weird cause apt-get doesn't see any broken packages [20:25] does anyone know a good application for webcams on ubuntu? [20:25] andybrine: cheese [20:25] yeah, i agree... it's pretty weird [20:25] rellis, could you try that last command I gave you ? [20:25] dexter_: Which chat client? [20:25] dexter_: if you readd them again is it ok? [20:25] is there a wat to detect forwarded ports (set up with ssh) [20:25] actionparsnip, good to know, I was told by the videolan guys, ubuntu had broken vlc packages. That would mean I don't have to worry about that? [20:25] gleibhan: I'm on 11.04... 11.10's not out yet, right? So what would i dist-upgrade to? [20:26] silverarrow: wouldn't worry, the packages in the official repos are tested well so should be fine# [20:26] !dist-upgrade | rellis [20:26] rellis, dist-upgrade doesn't change distribution [20:26] rellis: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [20:26] ActionParsnip I have used cheese and everytime i try and record the webcam is starts lagging [20:26] a dist upgrade also forces the upgrading og all pacages that are upgradeable [20:26] rellis: dist-upgrade doesn't get you to the next release [20:26] oh, oops [20:26] ActionParsnip and my system is really good [20:26] okay... [20:26] ActionParsnip, then it my computer then [20:26] ActionParsnip, readd?? I had like 12 servers and like 60 channels... [20:27] andybrine: "really good" is debatable, but it should be enough to run a cam. Have you tried xvidwincap [20:27] stercor, is xchat a chat client? Im a noob [20:27] dexter_: i see, freaky [20:27] alright it's installing some stuff.. [20:27] dexter_: xchat is an irc client [20:27] ActionParsnip, I will give it a go [20:27] Where should I start troubleshooting to figure out why my Brother mfc-j615 AIO scanner unit isn't detected across the local network? I've installed the brother print and scan drivers, and printing works fine, but the scanner is not recognized. I've googled this and read whatever I can find on Brother's support site, but I'm not getting anywhere. Thanks for any help. [20:27] dexter_: restore your settings from backup then, all I can really suggest [20:28] ActionParsnip, it is strange that whenever i try to record with cheese it just laggs [20:28] twig11: have you installed the scanner drivers from the brother site? they make linux drivers you know ;) [20:28] I also recomend the IRC client called "smuxi" it tends to be lighter than Xchat [20:28] ActionParsnip: That's why I purchased a Brother. Read my whole post. [20:28] ActionParsnip, noob here never learnt to make a backup, afraid I dont have one, unless ubuntu does that automatically... [20:29] ActionParsnip: Sorry for sounding rude, it wasn't meant that way. [20:29] kid: Did you get IP from ifconfig? [20:29] twig11: its cool [20:29] dexter_: oh dear [20:29] kid: Ang highlight nick. please [20:29] andybrine: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/webcam-linux/ [20:29] ActionParsnip, lol [20:29] alright well it wants me to reboot [20:29] i shall return [20:29] thanks [20:30] rellis, you could try installing empathy first [20:30] alright [20:30] twig11: so if you use simple scan, what message do you get? [20:30] anyone use pamccreds with pamkrb5? [20:30] gleibhan: throws the same error as previous [20:30] listing the impompatible deps in a tree [20:31] rellis, then I guess we're back to contacting the ppa's maintainer... [20:31] alright ,fair neough [20:31] ActionParsnip: It's all installed, like I said, and I've followed the directions at [20:31] http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html#u9.10 [20:31] to no avail. I'm not sure where to go from here. [20:32] ActionParsnip: Sorry didn't see your last message. "No Scanners Available" and No Scanners Connected" [20:32] hi.. whats the name of the package that makes QT applicactions look native in GNOME.? After a fresh install I cant remember the name [20:33] well i disabled the ppa and put empathy 2.34 back on here [20:33] gonna reboot, bi2m [20:33] rellis, does synaptic still show errors ? [20:33] twig11: is your OS 32bit or 64bit? [20:33] i executed sudo apt-get clean, could that be related to the loss of my schat configuration? [20:34] xchat* [20:34] ActionParsnip: 32bit [20:34] dexter_: that only cleans the apt cache [20:34] dexter_, no [20:34] dexter_: That just cleans saved packages from /var/cache/apt [20:34] then it must be the power cut... [20:34] how can I easily add a user and not permit he view or cd into any other directories besides his home directory? [20:35] most of my directories have r-x for other and that's the problem [20:35] twig11: try: wget http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brscan3-0.2.11-4.i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./brscan3-0.2.11-4.i386.deb; rm ./brscan3-0.2.11-4.i386.deb [20:36] twig11: there is also a set of brother drivers in the repos, may work [20:36] l1nuxman: It more depense from setting of others, than new user. [20:37] well others usually have r-x but I want only that user to not be included in 'other' group [20:38] such a shame you cant record good quality video on linux without getting a lot of lag..... [20:38] dexter_: does ~/.xchat2/servlist.conf exist? [20:38] does anyone here have problems with firefox 6.0.1? hyperlinks only work for the first page of results. Example: I type for love on scroogle, get a list of 100 results, none of the hyperlinks works [20:38] andybrine: you can, you just need to find an app [20:38] guntbert, yes [20:38] ActionParsnip: I'm trying your instructions. I already installed the brother drivers from the repository earlier. [20:38] dexter_: what happens when you hit a link? [20:38] l1nuxman, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-rssh-chroot-jail-setup.html maybe this is something [20:39] ActionParsnip, absolutely nothing, it makes an attempt to load the page and then nothing [20:39] hmm k [20:39] dexter_: that file contains all your servers and the subscribed channels [20:39] ActionParsnip I have tested many of them and I stil get a lag :s [20:39] how do I find someones IP address?

Then, it hangs for about 120 sec. before starting KDM. That's because KDM is started after the task that's hanging, I guess. I'm trying to make kdm start earlier [20:44] YGOfan, I can say konnichiwa and watashi wa nipponjin desu [20:44] np hylian [20:44] lol [20:44] hylian: I like easier [20:44] not enough I'm afraid [20:45] hahahaha [20:45] jlholmes: yes you can [20:45] bodom: did you see ActionParsnip's post?

[20:47] jlholmes & Polah: OK. I don't remember a login screen but I'll reboot, see if I can find it and try that.

I am lost here. Since I am using a proprietary driver and did not upgrade the kernel, why should the 3d acceleration be swicthed off?

[22:31] xfce is intressting because it's lightweight but it lacks some options on the gui [22:31] lxde is a similar desktop [22:31] lxde is a bit lighter :) [22:32] yeah i noticed that hehe [22:32] ActionParsnip, this fixed it for me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1704984 [22:33] i gtg have a nice day all [22:34] Afternoon all, anyone had any luck migrating from ext4 to btrfs in Natty when the system is already setup with a separate /boot? I can't coax grub/the kernel to mount / as btrfs, it insists on doing so as ext4?! === altj is now known as altj_pac12_game1 [22:34] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an old Dell Latitude 110L. I used the wifi (eth1) during install and everything worked fine. But after installation is complete, the gnome network manager does not know of any network interfaces at all. ifconfig lists both eth0 and eth1 though. Any idea on what I might be missing? [22:35] cogocogo: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? [22:38] ActionParsnip: Yes [22:39] ActionParsnip: But none of them are listed in the network manager tool. I have also tried adding a wireless network with the correct SSID and so forth, but nothing happens. === Guest5453 is now known as kad === kad is now known as Guest70324 [22:40] Hi, I installed newest kernel (linux-server 2.6.24-29) on a hardy machine. But it still boots into 2.6.22-16-server. What can I do? /boot/grub/menu.lst has 2.6.24-29-server has first entry and "default 0" [22:42] ActionParsnip: When I click connection information I just get "No valid active connections found" [22:44] cogocogo: instal wicd, network manager seems to expect wlan0, wicd can be told which interface name to use, should be ok [22:45] ActionParsnip: Ok, will try that. Thanks! [22:46] fresh 10.10 - but now Monitor Preferences isn't saving my settings? [22:46] we got the gui working! YAY [22:46] hello, i have a linux machine set up as a router with two nics. I also set up a ssh tunnel so I can use it as a proxy. How would I send all the routed traffic through this ssh tunnel? [22:47] hi nitetrip [22:48] hello chalcedony :-) [22:48] :) [22:48] nitetrip: you can't route everything through ssh but you could setup ssh to route traffic through a proxy-ish connection === ivanoats is now known as ivanoats|away [22:48] im having trouble with amarok.. my music files are on a NTFS drive located /media/Media and cant seem to import anything.. [22:49] what I am trying to accomplish is getting my xbox to connect to my linux box and have it go through my ssh tunnel, so I can watch US netflix here in canada [22:49] i'm trying to set up my monitors in 10.10. it's not saving the settings when i reboot, is there someplace i need to change something? i have ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics [22:49] klj613: can you navigate the files in you file browser? [22:50] nitetrip: you will have to use a VPN for that unfortunately [22:50] ActionParsnip: yes [22:50] hrm I can set up a vpn through ssh also, can't I ? [22:50] however, i just tried it for a 6th time, and worked now. (running in debug mode) [22:51] my luck it works when i ask for help, thanks anyway. [22:51] nitetrip: thats ssh tunneling [22:51] nitetrip: no need, VPN is encrypted (assuming you tell it to be) [22:52] nitetrip: ssh tunnelling is a port by port only protocol [22:53] I have an application that is stuck in the state "stop/waiting" The application is down. How can I clear this ? [22:53] ignarps, does it show in top? [22:53] chalcedony, no the prcoes is not running [22:54] ignarps, you tried kill -9 and so on? [22:54] chalcedony, the application is not up. I would like to start it. But the upstart script says. stop/waiting [22:55] chalcedony, when I run. start [22:56] chalcedony, stop returns, stop: Unknown instance:. start returns. stop/waiting [22:57] ignarp ouch! shoot the gremlins (i really don't know this one) [22:57] ActionParsnip: Weeeeell ... I just renamed the eth1 to wlan0 in udev persistent rules, and now I can't even log in to the machine any more. :p [22:57] When I click on the username and start to enter the password, nothing happens. [22:57] chalcedony, thanks :) yeah it would seem I need the equivalent of zap in gentoo [22:58] I do believe this machine will end up in the garbage tomorrow. :) [22:59] where do you put the public keys in ubuntu server? [22:59] hi everybody... one question: what if I do tmpfs greater than the RAM I've in my system? for example: tmpfs == 4GB when I've only 2GB physical RAM here... is it expected a normal behavior by making the tmpfs as great as 4GB when are only 2GB RAM available? [22:59] I have 3 monitors on two identical nvidia cards using ***nouveau***... both monitors on the first card work fine, but the third monitor on the second card doesn't show up in System > Preferences > Monitors... do I need to go somewhere else to enable the second card / third monitor? [23:00] ignarps honestly you need to kill it. [23:00] chalcedony, nothing to kill here [23:01] What's the ubuntu database equivalent of Access?

[23:08] what's the location of ssh piblic keys? [23:09] jrib, lol [23:09] Nicolas_Leonida2: by default ssh will check ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for authorized keys, but you should just use ssh-copy-id to get your pubkey to your server [23:10] Nicolas_Leonida2: let me ask you this however: do you have your home directory encrypted? [23:10] jrib, I'm not sure it's a server I bought [23:10] Nicolas_Leonida2: you should find out :D [23:11] HELLO BUDDIES,HOW TO COMPARE HEX FILES IN UBUNTU 11.04 [23:11] kanupatar: step 1) disable caps lock [23:11] I HAVE KDIFF 3 AND KOMAPARE [23:11] kanupatar: please stop with the caps lock.

[23:17] eoss: grep [23:17] will search all files everywhere? [23:17] eoss, grep word *filename* | less (in the directory you think it's in) === magnus is now known as Magnus [23:18] *filename* ?

[23:19] eoss: how much do you know... how many files do you want to search? [23:19] matiu: you need to upgrade [23:19] so they can still install old old software ?

Anyway, the upgrade page tells you the old repositories [23:22] i upgraded to Maverick/ 10.10 and got the gui back (YAY)! but it's not saving my settings in Monitor Preferences? i have an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card - got the drivers installed and working finally [23:22] but why won't it save?

[23:25] can anyway help me out... i install a new hard drive... with ext 4 partition but i don't have permission to write on it.. only read... how i create or add permissions? its on /dev/sdc [23:26] Kradllit: To connect to RDP servers you can use rdesktop which comes by default [23:26] Kradllit, do you have a link so I can take a look at the packages [23:26] Kradllit: freerdp is in the repositories; why are you not using ubuntu's package manager? [23:26] jrib, [23:26] jrib, /usr/bin/mate -w [23:26] funkeyy: you should change that (or install mate) [23:26] I want connect to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. It use RDP 7.1 Version [23:27] !rdp [23:27] jrib, how do i change it? sudo select-editor doesnt work.. i chose nano already [23:27] funkeyy: you have EDITOR defined somewhere. Maybe ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc [23:28] guess i'll have to google for help thanks :/ [23:28] Kradllit: Run the command: rdesktop [23:28] !permissions | need4help [23:28] need4help: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions === BarBlitz is now known as iAmHickuppingWhi [23:28] does ubuntu 64 bit comes with flash 64 bit? [23:28] Kradllit, change to the address of the server, do man rdesktop to find out about options like screen size. [23:29] Kradllit: The server will need to have been configured with Network Level Authentication disabled [23:29] Hey [23:30] kradllit@bt:~$ rdesktop office.karnaval-club.com [23:30] Autoselected keyboard map en-us [23:30] ERROR: recv: Connection reset by peer [23:30] I need a Browser for ubuntu which use WebKit to run this demo: http://www.paulrhayes.com/experiments/cube-3d/index.html . know someone a good browser? [23:30] how can i compare hex files in uuntu 11.04 [23:31] i have kdiff3 and kompare [23:31] but they are not detecting it [23:31] !enter | kanupatar [23:31] kanupatar: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:31] ubottu: sure thanks [23:31] is there a specific version optimized for intel atom based netbooks? [23:31] dasrs: try chrome? [23:32] my neighbour told me his computer was slow and asked me to look at it, so i want to try ubuntu on it un an SD card to test the speed [23:32] kradllit: You'll need to get physical access to the server or through another method to disable Network Level Authentication on the RDP server [23:32] Chrome and Firefox are based on gecko, i think. [23:32] dasrs: well i am on windows and running chrome and it worked [23:32] mickster04, i use chrome, but it didnt work. [23:32] Stoopit: you can try rebuild the kernel for that CPU === ivanoats is now known as ivanoats|away [23:32] Stanley00, is there nothing specific for them to download? [23:32] dasrs: ah well... i amand it did...so not sure what that's about [23:32] Webkit is used in Safari and Chrome I think, Firefox uses Gecko [23:33] Stanley00, i know there was a netbook remix but can only find info about old versions for that [23:33] hello [23:33] mickster04, really? if you press a cursor key, the cube move? [23:33] what about my hex compare too ? [23:33] But if i want best security with Network Level Authentication? I think maybe FreeRDP-1.0 can connect with Network Level Authentication [23:33] tool? [23:33] Stoopit: no more netbook remix w/ unity [23:33] Stoopit, there is no netbook edition for 11.04 onwards. [23:33] Stoopit: hmm, I think you should consider using an minimal Ubuntu, like lubuntu [23:33] :( [23:34] i hate unity personally [23:34] Stoopit: use gnome 3 then [23:34] i think it was silly to go use this by default [23:34] Stoopit: same [23:34] dasrs: yeah [23:34] Erfolg, its more of a touchscreen thing imho [23:34] hmm. very confused. [23:34] unity [23:34] Stoopit: especially when both suffer from bugs and neither help each other [23:35] Kradllit: I think NLA is for allowing automatic login on connection for users that can authenticate with appropriate credentials from a Windows machine. With it disabled then the connecting user will be presented with a login screen and need to provide a username and password [23:35] Stoopit: so give Lubuntu a try :) [23:35] Polah, do you use chrome under ubuntu? [23:35] Stoopit: you can use ubuntu classic [23:35] Stanley00, thanks i'll google it, never heard of it [23:35] dasrs: No, I use Firefox. You can get it from the repos though [23:36] Stoopit: what hardware are you trying to install on? [23:36] Stoopit: you are welcome :D [23:36] ActionParsnip, yeah i know i do that [23:36] but still i hate that unity is default [23:36] Kradllit, NLA is for RDP 6.0 and up, FreeRDP uses a kind of RDP 5.0 [23:36] Stoopit: then you can use a different DE [23:36] Erfolg, an acer netbook 250 something [23:36] jrib, thanks VERY much.. its been defined in .bashrc [23:36] its not mine [23:36] funkeyy: no problem [23:37] Stoopit: ah. you could try arch or something a little more minimal than ubuntu if you can't get it to run on there. arch runs fine on my netbook. [23:38] dasrs: there is chromium and chrome i think, depending on which repos you have listed [23:38] konqueror actually makes a good browser [23:39] Chromium and Chrome are different browser? [23:39] @ mickster04 [23:39] dasrs: no [23:40] dasrs: uhm. not certain I can't remember what, if at all the difference was [23:40] Erfolg, i was just hoping there would be something optimized for the atom / small screens [23:40] dasrs: chromium is an open source version of chrome === andref__ is now known as crash82 [23:40] the thing probably runs default ubuntu just fine [23:40] but slow probably [23:40] Erfolg, beides webkit? === Guest70324 is now known as kad [23:40] Stoopit: actually right now i'm using chromiumos on mine. you have to build it but it's not hard. === kad is now known as Guest40970 [23:41] dasrs: no. it's literally the exact same browser. chromium doesn't ship w/ the flash plugin by default is all [23:41] ieuw [23:41] Polah: Thanks for answer. I go to Google. And will be find information is realy security best with NLA or not [23:41] i dont liek chrome and chromium personally [23:42] Stoopit: ah. ok [23:42] hmm. if chrome use webkit, why didnt work the demo on my laptop? *confused* [23:43] Kradllit: I think you'll find NLA requires more than just the right RDP version, you need to be using certs with your network stack, your switch and router need to be aware, etc. [23:43] dasrs: ave you tried turning it off and on again? [23:43] Stoopit: also gnome 3 has a special setting bulit in to change it a little for netbooks w/ small screens [23:43] dasrs: maybe it was working, but really slowly [23:43] How can I change the permission on a directory from root to all users? [23:44] dasrs: i dunno if you know but pressing keyboard keys changes the speed and angle of rotation, so maybe you held it down? [23:44] mickster04, wait [23:44] Anyone having the GDM totally freeze (or the login box be inactive) on the new beta? [23:44] Neoncamouflage: add all your users to group "users" then chown the directory to root:users and chmod 664 [23:44] CajunTechie, #ubuntu+1 is the channel you should ask [23:45] What sort of 3D graphing applications are there for linux? [23:45] Stoopit: unity is make for small screen actually :D [23:45] Ahh thans zykotick9 [23:45] thanks even [23:45] Erfolg, nice i'll keep that in mind [23:45] zopiak: I know Blender is supposed to be good === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [23:46] he doesn't like unity though [23:46] don't blame him === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [23:46] glisstech: not 3d modeling, 3d graphs. like, plotting z=sin(x)/y^e [23:46] mickster04, does it work? http://jsfiddle.net/Eimer/cXDFT/ [23:46] glisstech, TAB can be used to autocomplete nicks [23:47] mickster04, does the cube rotate if you click on "Click me to move". [23:47] dasrs: no [23:47] not on the main channel and i am running windows === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ === ivanoats|away is now known as ivanoats [23:48] hmm okay. [23:48] Hi, I tried to install fl studio but got an error message, can not load Get.mfx. This object might need an external program or library not yet installed. what do I do to install it? [23:49] i am despaired and helpless :( === satellit_AFK is now known as satellit_ [23:50] !away > satellit_ [23:50] satellit_, please see my private message [23:50] linuxac [23:50] Thanks Erfolg! [23:50] mickster04, i start my virtual windows XP, open chrome aaaaannnnnddd -> it did NOT work. oooh my god. [23:51] Magnus, you should probably try the #winehq channel [23:51] ok [23:51] well the first link you sent out was useful, the second one wasn't [23:51] dasrs: ^^^^ [23:51] dasrs: virtual machines don't work with directx [23:51] dasrs: chrome requires directx [23:52] hmm [23:52] Erfolg, are you a german? [23:52] dasrs: no i'm american but i'm a decent german speaker [23:53] I thought Virtualbox supported DX now for Windows guests? [23:53] i want to increase the pace available to my ubuntu install , and i was thinking i could add extra partitions with different mount points [/var,/etc/usr and so on], will this work? [23:53] I was wondering if there was a way to format a CASPER-RW file? [23:53] Kurlon, me too (limited obviously) [23:53] I would like to start fresh without having to completely redo the LiveUSB boot on my portable HDD. [23:54] can i query you? my english isnt very good and i didnt understand you completly. [23:54] dasrs if you mean me, i supose so [23:54] ja [23:54] @ Erfolg [23:54] ok [23:55] i meant to type space, instead of pace in my question [23:56] vic20gmr: it will be okay as long as ubuntu can mount it, and it have right dir struct [23:56] jan618907 [23:56] vic20gmr, adding new partitions would not increase the amount of space available to you. It would stop the entire filesystem from being filled as if you place files in /home/ and that partition becomes full you will not be able to place anything there until you remove something, that would stop your unexpectedly running out of space in other parts of your system on different partitions [23:56] [q] what format should I use for a 3 TB backup drive? that I may want to be compatible with windows... [23:56] How can I disable effects in Unity? [23:57] doodmang: if no one else has an answer, try ccsm [23:58] Polah i cant add partitions with the various mountpoints to increase the combined freespace then? [23:59] vic20gmr: lvm is goodie you think about. [23:59] in unity is it possible to place the panel on the left on the bottom of the screen? [23:59] qin i dont understand what you mean [23:59] vic20gmr: No, you'd just be splitting up your current space. The only way to get more space would be to get a larger hard drive [23:59] ChogyDan, what is ccsm? Do you know any other ways to configure Unity? I haven't seen any settings [23:59] !lvm | vic20gmr [23:59] vic20gmr: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [23:59] Darth_Tux: no
