[00:00] anyone willing to help from changing settings of sound in ubuntu? [00:00] Hm, working now. Thanks. [00:01] Ziber: good [00:01] I have sound card integrated on motherboard. My jack where sound goes out is dead so i have to use another jack for sending sound on speakers. This works fine with realtek HD settings in Windows 7, but i don't know how to fix that in ubuntu...any idea? [00:01] can i put more then 1 iso. img on a dvd? [00:02] does anyone know why my ubuntu suddenly stops letting me click ? [00:02] melatapf no you cant [00:02] i_is_broke: not usually [00:02] anyone use beets? [00:02] maletapfc: alsamixer #Look to see what channels may be muted or turned down. [00:03] agoole22: It is totally locked up? [00:03] anybody know how to scan using clamav? [00:03] mitchell: clamscan [00:03] is there a way to scan everything? [00:03] mitchell: scan what? [00:04] mitchell: sudo clamscan [00:04] mitchell: What for? Are you using your PC as a fileserver? [00:04] mitchell: check the clamscan man page [00:04] mitchell: Or are you doing this just for the protection for this one system? [00:05] !virus | mitchell [00:05] mitchell: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:06] mitchell: I think you have saddled a dead horse. [00:06] usr13, yes as a matter of fact i am. i would like to scan all files/programs/etc for maximum protection. but i also use this for personal use. and i understand it is very hard to get a virus using linux operating systems, i just want to be on the safe side [00:06] mitchell: Don't bother. You are safe. Linux is not victum to virus problems. [00:07] Not only this, but I am (unfortunately) under the same partition as windows. just want to be sure === FlyingFoX13 is now known as FlyingFoX [00:07] usr13: when it locks up, I cannot click on anything, at all sometimes, [00:07] mitchell: It doesn't matter that you have windows too. [00:08] mitchell: Are you running wubi? === XLV_ is now known as XLV [00:08] ok, also, have you transferred over ubuntu data to a new partition so i can delet windows. and yes i am using wubi [00:08] usr13: cannot figure out how to declare that specific jack is for sound out...any suggestion except alsa mixer? [00:09] mitchell: The virus scanner you have on MS Windows will be fine. [00:09] how do i install a adobe reader plugin for firefox on ubuntu? [00:09] user13: ok thank you [00:09] faint545: The Software Center [00:09] usr13, i couldnt find it [00:10] faint545: Or synaptic package manager [00:10] usr13, what is the pacakge name? [00:10] faint545: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [00:10] faint545: just search for adobe and you will get numerous search results. but the plug in only works for mozilla firefox [00:11] mitchell: are you sure? It work on chromium too, [00:11] stanley00: did it, i though it had it pre-installed [00:12] mitchell: I think Stanley00 is correct, it also works on chromium [00:12] usr13: hmm did not know that [00:12] mitchell: Well, it may be pre-installed. YOu could be right about that, not sure. [00:13] usr13, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound will also install a flash player? i dont want to overwrite the flash plugin i have installed for firefox [00:13] Oh. But Stanley00, did you have to download it for it? Or no? [00:14] mitchell: I just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restrict-extra and wait... [00:14] faint545: I'm sorry, what was your original question? [00:14] mitchell: or apt-get install flashplugin-installer if you just need flash plugin [00:15] Stanley00: Oh I see. You didn`t get it from the Software Center? [00:15] would you say 500 files for kde [00:15] faint545: Oh I see, you want adobe reader [00:15] acroread [00:15] Stanley00: yea sure i get where you`re coming from [00:15] faint545: You will find it in The Software Centre [00:15] usr13: any clue to my mouse locking up ? [00:16] agoole22: what kind of laptop? [00:16] agoole22, the tap pad right? [00:16] is there any other application except alsa mixer for setting up sound card and specifying what every jack should work. (I need to set jack for microphone to send sound on my speakers) [00:16] faint545: sudo apt-get install adobereader-deu [00:16] yeah the touchpad, [00:16] its an acer aspire [00:16] agoole22: assuming its a laptop [00:16] mitchell: yeah laptop [00:16] mitchell: I think my command is just an shortcut to install flash via USC, Adobe Flash Plugin marked as intalled in USC as well. [00:17] so i'm on an AWS instance and it seems my CPU usage has suddenly started to nearly hit 100%. But when i do a "top" i never see the processes get any higher than about 40-50% cumulatively [00:17] agoole22, I have a aspire one the touch[ad works fine on mine it's just cumbersome I use a mouse [00:17] agoole22: thats why, i had an acer, it sucked. they make it to be affordable. their hardware is horrible. [00:18] well I never had troubles, and the pad works fine, [00:18] seems that sometimes it just locks up, for no reason [00:18] I'm thinking a package issue, maybe something broken ? [00:18] agoole22: how old is it? [00:18] mitchell: 4 months [00:18] is there any other application except alsa mixer for setting up sound card and specifying what every jack should work. (I need to set jack for microphone to send sound on my speakers) [00:19] agoole22: it very welll could be a package issue if it is only 4 months. have you dr [00:19] agoole22: Does it totally lock up? [00:19] dropped it* [00:19] mitchell: never dropped [00:19] usr13: yaeh, once it locks, its totally locked up [00:19] agoole22: Test your ram [00:19] agoole22: for how long? [00:19] usr13: I can move it, but I simply can't click on anything [00:19] !memtest | agoole22 [00:20] agoole22, are you maxing the ram when this happens the aspire comes with only 1 gig ram. [00:20] mitchell: once it locks, until reboot, [00:20] agoole22: for how long does it lock up for? [00:20] no I have 6 gigs of ram [00:20] also, are u able to uninstall a program if you installed it with a .bin file? [00:20] never came close to maxing the ram [00:20] agoole22: test your ram memtest [00:20] usr13: you think memtest ? [00:20] yess [00:20] usr13: ok, I will check it, [00:20] usr13: why would the ram prevent me from clicking anything ? [00:21] agoole22: May or may not be RAM memory problem but that is first thing I would check. [00:21] agoole22: it could never hurt, although, ido believe it is a hardware issue, not package [00:21] nvm. [00:21] ok, Ill go and do a memtest [00:21] brb [00:21] agoole22: Do you have external mouse? [00:22] top is taking up 99&% ??

[00:52] ya, go for it [00:52] <[Justm3]> if no one can help me here D: [00:52] <|NeXuS|> look at the paste bin it shows what app i use to start it [00:52] <|NeXuS|> vlc [00:53] <|NeXuS|> http://paste.ubuntu.com/683974 = vlc open and playing media and no video showing only audio is heard [00:53] ChogyDan, thanks for that, but do you have a recommendation? Like, is there something i can use that will let me sync apps? [00:54] TD_: no I don't, but maybe try banshee; that's the new default for Ubuntu [00:55] I just tried out teamviewer, its easier to use than VNC (no port forwarding), but its no better in performance.

It does not feel like I'm sitting in front of the remote machine.

[00:56] hi, I can't get 3D graphics to work with ubuntu 1.04, it worked with 10.10 [00:57] s/1.04/11.04 [00:57] i have downloaded the wubi installer from ubuntu website i click run and it shows up in the processes for a few seconds [00:57] but does not show a screen [00:58] magyar: you mean compiz? [00:58] What could cause the touchpad on an Acer Aspire running Natty to suddenly stop working? Note that external USB mice still work. [00:58] aeon-ltd: not sure what you mean [00:58] adamwbb, the instaler I believe does not have the ISO download the ubuntu ISO and burn it to a cd and click that. [00:58] im running windows xpsp3 on a dell optiplex i had ubuntu on it once [00:58] mssever: The touchpad broke? [00:58] magyar: 3D? as in effects such as desktop cube they are run by compiz [00:59] Verto2: You could say that. [00:59] i have an 11.04 cd in to the same thing happened i double clicked the wubi file and nothing same log error [00:59] is there a freenx installation tutorial? it seems like its oriented towards large enterprise installations. there are easy setup instructions [00:59] 55 [00:59] I mean does it just not work in ubuntu? [00:59] that i can find [00:59] mssever: update? unlikely a module for synaptics(or alps) would be removed though [00:59] aeon-ltd: nope, rendering (dri, glx) [00:59] adamwbb, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer [01:00] Verto2: It's my friend's machine, and it broke this morning. I don't know whether it's only Ubuntu since the machine doesn't have any other OS and my live USB stick isn't on me at the moment [01:00] Verto2: YEs, it doesn't work. Nothing.

[01:01] Is there a way to remote into a computer that is using windows but on a separate network? [01:01] Verto2: Rebooting doesn't solve it, and the suggestions I found on Google haven't helped [01:01] Magyar: What card/drivers? [01:02] yes ive rebooted ive fixed mbr i tried wubi 8.10 but that killed the computer [01:02] What are the other issues, mssever?

My friend says that this is sporadic [01:03] any user interfaces you guys know of for dns [01:03] adamwbb, you want only releases 10.04 and beyond all others are end of life, get a IISO burn it to a cd and use that, you want a cd for repaiers. [01:03] i tryed installing from cd but it wants me to wipe xp off [01:03] magyar: Sorry, not familiar with ati hardware so much. :\ [01:04] User interface for dns? [01:04] adamwbb, because you don't know what your doing. [01:04] i have a cd of 11.04 the wubi on that doesnt work either [01:04] yea [01:04] adamwbb, are you doing this in admin? [01:04] yes im on administrator account right now [01:05] to make it easier to administer a domain [01:05] Poked around in the bios, mssever? [01:05] lol, intead of using the bind config files manually [01:05] No, I haven't. Maybe I will, but I don't have acess to the machine at the moment since my friend had to go to class [01:05] adamwbb, so what keeps you from dual booting wubi was designed as a try out app. [01:05] Verto2: See ^ [01:06] my xp partition takes up my drive i dont know how to resize a partition without formatting [01:06] TheMatrix3000: http://www.debianadmin.com/bind-dns-server-web-interfacefrontend-or-gui-tools.html [01:06] TheMatrix3000: Have you checked out something like webmin? I've never used it before, but maybe it can handle BIND? [01:06] I cant get freenx working. its too cryptic [01:06] is there any other way to get a remote desktop like experience [01:07] adamwbb, hao full is the HD? [01:07] how* [01:07] If something seems broken (or at least slow) during post, I'd start in the bios. [01:07] adamwbb: From the live CD, you can use GParted to resize your partition if you've got enough free space [01:07] i am going have to reinstall ubuntu [01:08] its a 320gb but only 298 can be used and thats how big the ntfs partition is [01:08] adamwbb, how full is that partition? [01:08] Verto2: Thanks for the suggestion. I'm wondering though whether this can be the same problem, since the slow POST occurred a while before the touchpad quit. [01:08] So, do linux users not use iphones? I am quite attached to my iphone, but even with Wine I cannot seem to install itunes on my new Ubuntu 11.04.. [01:08] 244 is free [01:09] Is reinstall an option, mssever? Might be the fastest way to fix everything at once if you can backup anything important. [01:09] adamwbb: I recommend using GParted from the live CD to resize your partition. Then, you can create a new partition for Ubuntu [01:09] devcalais: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [01:10] adamwbb, as suggested if you do not have 4 primary partitions already, the XP can be shrunk and a extended, for ubuntu put in. [01:10] ok ill log off and switch to the cd [01:10] ei :) [01:10] We've evolved beyond the need for something as primitive as a "phone," devcalais. ;) [01:11] Verto2: I'm not sure, since it isn't my machine. Of course, I'd first have to check from the live CD, which would go a long way towards determining whether this problem is hardware or software. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait on that since my tools are at home. === sysdoc_ is now known as sysdoc [01:12] Verto2: Thanks for your help.

[01:17] ifdown/up [01:17] i already have clamav but i want to install the gui clamtk, the one from sourceforge, i just dont know where to extract the file to [01:17] chris215: I think 'sudo apt-get install clamtk' would be leagues easier than that [01:17] mssever: I do try that, but that particular service doesn't work for me: "restart: Unknown instance: " [01:17] chris215: If there's an Ubuntu package, it'll be MUCH easier [01:18] I always have to /etc/init.d/networking restart it for some reason (do you know why?). [01:18] chris215: is the tarball a source package [01:18] ? [01:18] hola [01:19] mssever: i know, but i wanted to get the more updated version, as suggested on the ubuntu help page, which told me that to do so i should go to clamtk.sourceforge.net and obtain it there [01:19] zoray: hola que pasa? [01:19] !es | zoray, mitchell [01:19] zoray, mitchell: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [01:19] hola mitchell [01:19] mssever: it's called clamtk-4.34.tar.gz [01:20] i dont know what a source package is i am sorry [01:20] More important question is, what do you need av for anyway, chris215? :) [01:20] chris215, what are you using it for? [01:20] yo quiero habla español [01:20] chris215: no idea what advantage you think you'll get from that.. the virus definitions are updated independently anyway [01:20] i run dual boot with windows 7 and was told it would be a good idea to have it [01:20] chris215: Of course, you're free to install the raw package, but if you install stuff outside the package manager, be sure you know what you're doing or else you could end up with a messed up system [01:20] hello ubuntu! :) [01:21] chris215: clamav won't help your Windows 7 install [01:21] <|NeXuS|> im going crazy im using Ubuntu 10.10 and when a video crashs a video player it loses all video playback in any app [01:21] Do you mount the windows partition most of the time? [01:21] chris215: for that, you need a Windows antivirus [01:21] thats why i came here, i fugured someone here would know where you are supposed to extract the tar to [01:22] mssever: clamav actually checks mostly for Windows viruses [01:22] mssever: clam IS a windows antivirus....a virus is a virus [01:22] chris215: Anyway, I'm assuming the tarball you have is a source tarball. So, you can extract it anywhere [01:22] hey i have a problem with my cam of notebook [01:22] I mean it's possible something could install something nasty on the win partition while running ubuntu if the win part is mounted, but.. why? [01:22] szal: th0r I meant one that runs under windows [01:22] please help me [01:22] zoray: Just ask your question [01:22] zoray: can you be more specs? [01:22] mssever: no, you can use clamtk in ubuntu to scan the windows partition or folders === simpleirc162 is now known as berlusconibest [01:22] chris215, bitdefender and avast have linux use AV that have the windows virus in their updates, and can be used to scan windows ,linux, and external stuff. [01:23] chris215: to extract a tarball: tar xzvf tarball_name.tar.gz [01:24] chris215: then cd to the newly-created directory and look for a README or INSTALL file with instructions [01:24] chris215: Just be careful, make backups of critical data, and overwrite any executable code system-wide frequently. ;) [01:24] my cam watching in internet, but no in messenger [01:24] <|NeXuS|> [0x1dd1a30] xcb_xv generic debug: cannot put image: X11 error 2 = error i get in vlc when i lose video [01:24] Honestly, it's faster than using av. [01:24] chris215: But again, unless you know what you're doing, you shouldn't do this unless you're willing to risk a broken system [01:25] pleaqse help me [01:25] zoray: Can you give more details? [01:26] chris215: I think the repo has clamtk 4.33, that should be new enough. You would save yourself some headaches by using a deb package for install [01:26] mssever: how do i avoid a broken system? and by broken system do you mean like it will be cool with a reinstall or like the computer is a paperweight [01:26] how do I make the monitor shut off a minute after the screen blanks instead of however long it takes by default? using 10.10, if it matters [01:26] chris215: A reinstall would fix things [01:26] th0r: ill give it a shot [01:26] mssever: ok [01:26] my cam, that i have in the notebook runs on the regular network, but does not connect with messenger [01:27] zoray: which messenger are you using? [01:27] i have 2 [01:27] emesene [01:27] and [01:27] I would just like to ask what is the difference between Unity and Gnome2. Most importantly, what is the function of that vertical bar on the right? [01:27] th0r: synaptic has version 4 of clamtk? or ubuntu software center [01:27] chris215: to avoid a broken system, you have to make sure that manually-installed software stays up to date and doesn't conflict with other stuff. Using a package manager handles this automatically, but as soon as you move away from the package manager, you have to keep track of things yourself. And the package manager won't know about what you've fdone manually [01:28] emesene and aMSN [01:28] surskitty, screensaver time and power screnn shut off coordinate. [01:28] while we are on that subject, what are the advantages of using the computer janitor? [01:28] do you guys use it? [01:28] chris215: clamtk is just a frontend to clam, so the version you use isn't going to be critical. You want to keep clam updated, but the gui isn't critical. You might install that first, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can uninstall and pursue the later version [01:28] ?? [01:28] pidz: The vertical bar on the *left* is like a dock where you can launch programs and manage windows [01:28] pidz: Unity is a similiar concept to Aero in win7, and the bar on the left is basically a task bar with some animations and some neat features [01:29] chris215, none use bleachbit. [01:29] Or right, wherever it might be [01:29] chris215: no i dont. I havent, i barely know what is used for [01:29] Thank you very much mssever & Verto2 [01:29] urlin2u: bleachbit as opposed to computer janitor? [01:29] zoray: please wait a minute, I haven't used that 2 before [01:29] my cam, that i have in the notebook runs on the regular network, but does not connect with messenger [01:29] i use emesene and aMSN [01:30] chris215, yes, computer janitor can wipe apps if you don't know how to use it. [01:30] zoray: What do you mean by "regular network"? Google Video chat? Empathy? [01:30] Is there a defragmenter in Ubuntu? [01:30] anyone know the proper way to add ipv6 hosts to a users db in pure-ftpd? 'pure-pw usermod user -r [ipv6:host]' breaks [01:31] can the mintmenu be installed in ubuntu? [01:31] no [01:31] urlin2u: not sure what you said, but found it while looking again; thank you. [01:31] because i really liked that [01:31] mitchell: you wont need that ;) [01:31] mitchell: If there's one, it isn't well-known. At any rate, the ext filesystems don't become too fragmented [01:31] mitchell: i don't think you need to defragment ubuntu, or any linux flavor for that matter [01:31] no none [01:31] chris215, be careful about asking questions here in lieu of problems as a new user or ever the answers you get may be biased or just wrong. [01:31] i dont' know [01:31] <|NeXuS|> is there a big dif in 9.04 to 10.04 ? [01:32] Depends on the fs, mitchell. But if you're using ext (the default) you really don't need to worry about it. [01:32] nexus 10.04 is still supported [01:32] my notebook have a problem with procesator [01:32] |NeXuS|: There's a major user interface difference. Google it for details [01:32] <|NeXuS|> i cant keep video play back working in 10.10 [01:32] mssever:stanley00:pidz: thanks, i am just looking for ways to optimize my system because i am running windows as well on this as a dual boot and since then, i have noticedd my sytem is offly slow [01:32] hi [01:32] <|NeXuS|> i was thinking of back tracking maybe [01:33] |NeXuS|, backtrack is for geeks, and not supported here. [01:33] however, i cab use my camera web sites [01:33] mitchell: In my experience, the number one thing that slows down a linux sstem is memory issues [01:33] <|NeXuS|> no back track as in try a older ubuntu hehe [01:33] but, no in the messengers [01:34] };-) [01:34] I agree entirely, i just need to figure out a way where i can move my ubuntu data onto a separate partition so i can delete windows and not have to go thgrough and re install ubuntu [01:35] is the cam that is built into the notebook [01:36] mitchell: If you're feeling adventureous, you could use cp -a to copy your stuff across, manually fix up your new /etc/fstab, then go to a live CD and update grup to point to your new install [01:36] please help me [01:36] :,-( [01:36] mssever: But I can't guarantee success, so be sure to have backups [01:36] mssever: can mitchell just delete the windows partition and resize the ubuntu partition to occupy the whole disk? [01:37] pidz: mitchell If the goal is simply to delete Windows, that would be the easiest option [01:37] my oprative system is ubuntu [01:37] Hey, I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on a coby netbook and the touchpad doesn't work [01:38] I was going to try something like that, my only dillema is that my netbook doesnt have a cd drive and i havent figured out to properly format a flash disk and boot off that to use as a live cd. and i cant just delet windows first becaue i am useing wubi. otherwiwse i would have done that in a heartbeat [01:38] anything I can do to debug that? I looked in /proc/bus/input/devices and didn't see anything [01:38] so ubuntu 10.04 lts with virtualbox 4.1 ... i have an ubuntu 10.04 lts server vm running inside it captures all keys but shift + 9 "(" and shift + 0 ")" any ideas? [01:38] my cam no works [01:38] helo [01:39] zoray: If you want people to help you, try this: First, put everything on ONE line. Then, describe your issue in detail (in one line). Then, if someone knows how to help you, they will. Posting on multiple lines is hard to read [01:39] zoray: probably just need an updated driver compatible with ubuntu [01:39] after enabling Flash's Hardware Acceleration I have a image in background from youtube video [01:39] how can I fix this without relogin [01:40] mitchell: From Ubuntu, use the Startup Disk Creator to make a live USB stick. Warning: It'll delete everything on your flash drive [01:40] mssever: my last message was to you by the way (forgot to title it) XD [01:40] i am women technology that knows no [01:41] <|NeXuS|> is there a big diff in 10.04 to 10.10 ?

I use up to three computers at a time. My normal desktop workstation (ubuntu), my laptop (ubuntu/windows) and my company's laptop. I use headphones instead of speakers. I've been wanting the sound from all computers to go to the one set of headphones, but the only equipment I found is relatively fancy and expensive mixers. I just want to listen to the internet radio, and hear warning beeps and stuff from the others. [01:59] Pici, damn! The file it's trying to overwrite is owned by root >< sorry about that... :$ [01:59] how can i start a small open source project to further develop a salary system for ubuntu? [02:00] Monotoko: ah! [02:00] I had a thought. The workstation as a mic jack in the front and back. System / preferences / sound shows mic 1 and mic 2. Could I take the headphone output from the other two and plug them into the mic jacks? [02:00] Monotoko: My next step would have been to test whether you needed to set DISPLAY, but that didn't seem right to me. [02:01] Pici, nah...I could run the same command from the terminal...problem was I left root up after a "sudo su" earlier [02:01] :( [02:02] !ve > zoray [02:02] immysl_ what do you mean by salary system?

I installed ubuntu 11.04 on an aspire revo and I have no sound. I performed all updates and no dice. anyone able to help? [02:05] I should probably also note that I went in and tried a number of configurations in the sound menu muted and unmuted as some forums suggest [02:05] cubevanbaby: i would think that you have to install proprietary drivers for your audio to work [02:05] I cannot see the menubar and sidebar in ubuntu 11.04. what should I do? [02:05] idlemind324: it's a system that helps small scale businesses to manage the salaries of their employees. i need to further develop it though, but would like to make it an open source app. [02:06] immysl_ you could place the project on sourceforge, google code or github [02:06] immysl_ you would still need to promote it [02:06] I got Natty recently, first time on Linux, wondering if there's any way to make the taskbar on the side auto-hide [02:06] pidz: how would I do that? I went into the hardware manager and installed proprietary hardware drivers but it only caught video [02:08] ah thanks for giving me some clues. :) anyway the code might not be real good cos i'm not an expert at programming yet. so it won't have a negative impact on the project right? [02:08] immysl_ it's the opposite in open source [02:09] hi [02:09] immysl_ you can't be afraid to release your code because of quality. open source projects are so efficient / secure / high quality because of the number of eyes that look at the code [02:10] is this the help channel?

I can't find any blank DVDs or flash drive around, but I have a previously burned copy of 10.10. Can I install 10.10 and just get 11.04 through software update, or will it not be as good? [02:34] FroyoShark: Run kmix from the command line and make sure your PCM isn't muted. [02:34] just got it on ubuntu software centre thanks a ton. [02:35] gnome alternative? [02:35] Schala, you only need a cd, and having a cd of the actual install is a god tool to have. [02:35] i don't want to download all the kde packages :/ [02:35] good* [02:36] my dad misplaced the stack of blank CDs he bought... so... I'm a bit screwed [02:37] wildgoose, I used AlsaMixer, PCM is at 100 [02:37] Schala: you can upgrade, Ive been upgrading for awhile now [02:37] gentlemen, have anyone here tried the utorrent linux server? [02:38] will any 10.10 junk be left over that 11.04 doesn't use? [02:38] experiences, is it wih a gui? [02:38] does anyone know how to run mupen64 emulator from the terminal? [02:38] utorrent for linux is the same as on windows [02:38] Hello. How can I tell which point release of 10.04 I am on? [02:38] No. they made a new one [02:38] oh [02:38] Pyro_Killer: a web gui i believe [02:39] Can I get some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1840020 [02:39] FroyoShark: Which audio card? [02:39] Intel HDA I believe, what is the command to check? [02:39] xangua: me too, but will i be able to run it without a gui on my server (ssh) [02:39] redvenomweb: uname -a [02:39] redvenomweb, there is only the main and the update 30 days later if your updated your at that. [02:39] but mainly, have anyone tried it out? [02:40] the utorrent for linux [02:40] Pyro_Killer: there are already native linux clients with terminal interface [02:40] torrent * [02:40] xangua: yes, but i am not satisified with those available [02:40] redvenomweb, try "lsb_release -a" [02:40] anyone know much about virtual memory to help me understand and use it? [02:40] xangua: and i have tried trrentflux and rtorrent with the rutorrent interface [02:40] I read a page already [02:40] zykotick9: thank you [02:41] wildgoose, Intel HDA I believe, what is the command to check? [02:41] I can't really find a good guide to directly install Ubuntu onto a pendrive, is it very different from having a live ubuntu on usb? [02:41] meway: to help you 'use it' the OS is already handle-ing it for you so you are 'using' it [02:41] Bash: no [02:41] xangua: qin: found the package which contains add-apt-repository command it is contained in python-software-properties. But i can't install it http://pastebin.com/xi7Qh11y [02:41] edbian explain? [02:41] Bash, a full install? [02:41] meway: Thanks. [02:42] Bash: no problem [02:42] Bash: get 2 pendrives, screw out the hdd in you computer, make it install on the usb with mbr and all, screw hdd back in, bott from pendrive when you feel like it [02:42] meway: There is some physical memory on the system. (your ram) the OS knows about this memory and creates this pretend 'virtual memory' in which is puts stuff. This helps it simply the task of making sure one program can't talk to another and programs can't read OS data. [02:42] Bash, a direct install if full is diferent then a live cd. [02:42] Bash: ive done so before and i intend to do it again [02:42] Is anyone aware of a way to have nautilus keep the folder highlighted when you move forward and backward between folders? For example if I go into a folder from a long list of other folders and then click the back button, i would like to have the folder that i just went into highlighted so i know where i was. [02:42] urlin2u: Yeah, so I can install programs etc on it, I thought the "persistant" part you choose was that but I guess I was wrong [02:43] meway: So what are you trying to do? [02:43] !audio > FroyoShark Have you checked here allready? [02:43] FroyoShark, please see my private message [02:43] happy 7 setember [02:43] JZApples: yes [02:43] intimed, please enlighten me [02:43] Pyro_Killer: You mean get a live usb on one pendrive and then install on the other one, without a hdd in ofcourse? [02:43] edbian: what would increasing this virtual memory do? [02:43] wildgoose, no hang on [02:44] Bash: easiest and safest way, imo [02:44] HDA ATI SB [02:44] meway: Well you see virtual memory can be bigger than physical ram. To make up this space difference the OS uses the harddrive (swap partition). Increasing virtual memory would mean you have more swap partition. [02:44] Pyro_Killer: What's the biggest difference? Sorry, a little rusty. [02:44] JZApples: i am using nautilus in fedora 15 and i have do nothing it is working for me bu default [02:44] Bash, the persistent is a casper-rw file that fills up and can't be emptied, if you have a thumb of 8 or more gigs and don't want it for installing a full install is a better choice in my opinion, it can be used as you h=would a HD install. [02:44] intmed, I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and it is not. Is that a known bug I wonder... [02:44] meway: What are you trying to do? [02:45] Bash: well, its like you installed it on a hdd, but its a pendrive, to cahnge between hdd os and pendrive os, is just a bios setting [02:45] edbian make my computer perform better [02:45] !audio > FroyoShark [02:45] FroyoShark, please see my private message [02:45] JZApples: try updating nautilus [02:45] urlin2u: So let's say that I fill my casper-rw with 4gb of stuff and I delete them, it still takes 4gb on the pendrive? [02:45] edbian: for optimization [02:45] wildgoose, I said it's an HDA ATI SB [02:45] Can I get some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1840020 [02:45] nothing is muted or anything [02:45] anyone here using ocfs2 between 11.04 and 10.10? [02:45] Pyro_Killer: Gotcha, just not clear about what's the advantage against using a live pendrive? [02:46] Bash, no you just loose all the updates your abck to the original ISO. [02:46] back* [02:46] !audio [02:46] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [02:46] I cant get the 11.04 host to connecto to the cluster with two 10.10 nodes [02:46] urlin2u: But when I reboot I still have my changes saved and programs installed? [02:46] meway: messing with virtual memory would require changing the kernel and basically having a M.S. level knowledge of O.S. optimization and an in-depth knowledge of the kernel. The easiest way for you to increase performance is to get more ram, decrease the amount of programs you're running, or get a faster processor [02:46] Irssi and my background stayed atleast. [02:46] Bash, not if you remove the casper-rw [02:46] Bash: live os'es doesnt save your files, installed programs or settings, this way it does [02:46] urlin2u: Oh. [02:46] intmed, i'm kind of new to Linux. I keep up to date with the Update Manager but I have a feeling you are asking me to do something different. [02:47] Right, thanks urlin2u and Pyro_Killer, I'm gonna tinker away and see that I can manage. :) [02:47] wat* [02:47] Bash: good luck, and more then anything, have fun [02:47] JZApples: yes, give me some time. i am now searching for the solution on net. [02:47] Bash, you can have a bigger the 4 gig casper though. [02:48] then* [02:48] than* [02:48] my laptop has 2GB RAM and came with windows 7 64 bit. Does that mean that Ubuntu 64 bit would be recommended over 32 bit? [02:48] excuse me, but i'm new to open source. how i can change my background? [02:48] guser_freeware, where the desktop? [02:48] guser_freeware: right click [02:48] urlin2u: yes [02:49] urlin2u: The mainly use for the pendrive is to help people with their destroyed windows drives and I thought it would be good to both be familiar with my setup and have the programs at hand that might be needed. [02:49] intmed, hmmm, i tried the internets but didn't have much luck. Hopefully your kung fu is stronger. [02:49] guser_freeware, yeah right click change deskyop background [02:49] JZApples: what means kung fu [02:49] okay urlin2u i right clicked now what [02:49] He's talking about his ability to computers [02:50] guser_freeware, lol, skills to pay the bills. Leet hacker. Uhhh, guru....etc. etc. etc. [02:50] robertzaccour, it's up to you. personally i run 64bit on an eeepc " 'cause it can", but in general if you have less then 4GB memory 64bit is kinda a detriment in many key areas [02:50] zykotick9: detriment how? as in slower? [02:50] HisRoyalFreshnes: oh [02:50] base_, if you have a big enough thumb you can use a multil;oad app, I have a 16 gig that has bitdefender, W7, natty, oneric, puppy, maverick and other ISO's [02:50] JZApples: try sudo apt-get update nautilus [02:50] robertzaccour, it's a complicated explanation, but 64bit uses more memory compared to 32bit... [02:50] robertzaccour 64 bit allows you to take advantage of having more memory [02:51] hey me again. still trying to get the sound to work. got some help to figure out my card and found and installed the drivers then I checked every setting to test... muted and un muted no dice [02:51] zykotick9: so 64 bit would be less efficient? how come the laptop came with 64 bit windows 7? [02:51] Hi [02:51] guser_freeware, right click choose change desktop background [02:51] intmed, E: The update command takes no arguments [02:52] robertzaccour, the actual "detriment" however, comes with the slight compatibility issues in running 32bit only programs [02:52] cubevanbaby: are you getting internet sound but nothing else? [02:52] urlin2u: ok, i chose one. but now it looks the same [02:52] robertzaccour, it's MUCH MORE efficient if you have more the 4+ GB memory ;) [02:52] Kind of like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1840020 ~ [02:52] HisRoyalFreshnes: no sound at all [02:53] o damn [02:53] zykotick9: is 32 bit more efficient running 2GB DDR3 RAM? [02:53] You're in deeper shit than I am [02:53] JZApples: inotifywait -m -r --format '%:e %f %T' --timefmt '%H:%M:%S' ~ (make sure your system is quiet, so you could see if nautilius write somwhere, try same for /tmp) [02:53] huh? [02:53] Just saying [02:53] guser_freeware, you can also use almost any background you want like a picture you have, tinker with it I suspect your not clicking a new image if not changing. [02:53] robertzaccour, in "most" areas and over all, probably yes. if you're doing encoding probably no [02:54] JZApples: sudo apt-get update && sudo apr-get install --reinstall nautilus [02:54] *apt [02:54] well thanks for linkage but not... like helpful thanks anyways [02:54] pidz: what we tried didnt work [02:54] urlin2u: no, i DID click on a new image, but it dint load on my background of my desktop [02:54] robertzaccour, 64bit is faster in certain areas, but there is more overhead in addressing big memory ranges (BUT, the fact that you can use big memory efficiently makes it the new standard) [02:55] I was mainly wondering if we were having the same problems, so we could kill two birds at the same time [02:55] nope [02:55] qin, log off and back on when it's done or do i need to restart? [02:55] its the fourth time i tried this, and i NEVER get it to work [02:55] guser_freeware, are you seeing this to choose from? http://imagebin.org/171352 [02:56] I feel that way about my sound not working lol [02:58] eff 11.04 [02:58] im rolling back forget this crap [02:58] JZApples: You do not need to logout. [02:58] lol [02:59] yes. fucking 11.04 seems to be shit. you know? when you cat ever mak ethe sound work. nor the desktop picture [02:59] qin, negative. It didn't work. [02:59] guser_freeware: drop that language [02:59] I have sound on YouTube but not on the system. No music, nor startup sound. Can someone please help me? [02:59] JZApples: Wait, does Alt-Arrow works? [03:00] qin, negative. [03:00] guser_freeware: yes I do know [03:00] all too well [03:00] JZApples: Do they work in firefox (or any browser)? [03:01] xangua: why? you dont let people speak freely in this chanel xangua? [03:01] guser_freeware: /join #angry [03:01] guser_freeware: It's a support channel, not one for you to vent your anger. [03:01] guser_freeware: speak freely, but show respect o people (possibly minors) who do not want to hear expletives [03:01] guser_freeware, people of all ages have acces even children [03:01] qin, The back/forward arrows work, it just doesn't highlight the folder I was previously in when going back so if I'm in a folder that has a lot of subfolders, go into a folder, and then go back, it is easy to lose my place and forget where i was. [03:02] ope. my bad. sorry to any children heard me say bad words [03:02] JZApples: Oh, not sure that nautilus have such feature. [03:02] sincerely [03:02] hey guys [03:02] JZApples: maybe, nautilus-scripts? [03:02] JZApples: isn't the series up top? [03:03] qin, bummer, that is really handy. [03:03] hey can you guys please like forgive me? [03:03] my buddy installed 4 ati 5850 but can only get info on one, what is he doing wrong [03:03] HisRoyalFreshnes, yes, that's a good point. like I said, just new to linux and Windows used to do that so it has been annoying me a lot. I'll keep that in mind. Probably get used to it in no time. [03:04] I know what you mean [03:04] how do I force using downgraded kernel? i have traced back one nasty issue, simpliest solution will be using oldest possible Linux kernel for 11.04 [03:04] I just put this on my little netbook a few days ago to free up RAM etc [03:04] This system is a hassle [03:04] please guys [03:04] of course it'll be very easy to dpkg -i *.deb but how to force this exact version? [03:04] But 7 Starter was terrible to me [03:05] !guidelines | guser_freeware [03:05] guser_freeware: Take it easy, it's not a channel for friends, it's pretty exclusive for support. :) [03:05] ksx4system: I think you can use older one via grub. [03:05] guser_freeware: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:05] HisRoyalFreshnes: win$hit starter 7 is complete crap... completely unsusable, I run Debian 6 on my netbook [03:05] there's an angry channel? [03:05] cubevanbaby: no there isnt [03:06] qin: it's not possible in my case since I deleted just everything non-essential from the SSD [03:06] there should be win 7 is looking sweet to the completely and totally busted 11.04 [03:07] Im using [03:07] ksx4system: when I found out that I couldn't even change the background, I raged [03:07] qin: I was thinking about Ubuntu as a temporary solution - I didn't have enough time to install full blown Debian 6 with backports kernel... and I don't have this much time now too :( [03:08] HisRoyalFreshnes: there's a nasty hack for that but still - it sucks [03:08] it should be fine for that nice and fast just dont try to watch anything [03:08] ksx4system: Still in synaptic you will find at least 3 older versions, you can install them and pin. [03:08] All I found was themes, maybe it's the same thing that you're talking about, because they sucked, ksx4system [03:09] ksx4system: it looks like there are a few older kernels in the repos, just type out the full versions, not the meta package names [03:09] So like [03:09] ksx4system: ie sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic [03:09] I have sound on YouTube but not on the system. No music, nor startup sound. Can someone please help me?~ [03:09] qin: downgrading to older version is not an issue for me, forcing not to upgrade from version x.y.z is [03:10] yeah roll back to 10.04 like me [03:10] fixed [03:10] cubevanbaby: just try gentoo linux. its better and easier (i heard) [03:10] ksx4system: for the kernel, that is as simple as removing the meta packages [03:10] its not that [03:10] 10.04 is fine [03:10] ksx4system: If you pin kernel version it will be kept, in case of dist-upgrade. [03:11] cubevanbaby: then you dont have a narwhal on yaur desk looking at you always all of the time [03:11] !pinning > ksx4system [03:11] ksx4system, please see my private message [03:11] you don't need pinning for the kernel... [03:11] I think my life will find a way of moving on [03:11] cubevanbaby: too much hassle, 10.04 afair runs with 2.6.32 kernel which doesn't really support SSD disks (exactly: TRIM on ext4) [03:12] Yeah, I'm trying to help my friend with a problem. Haven't been behind Ubuntu for years. He has sound on the internet and SNES but not on the system as a,whole- meaning no mp3, movies, startup sound or the like. Any ideas? [03:12] ksx4system: that is less hastle then having absolutely no sound [03:12] qin: thnx, if it's the same pinning I do on Debian boxes I'm at home [03:13] this is for a media pc I just need it to work [03:13] hello...can you help me? [03:13] DEBIAN?? [03:13] i thought this was linux channel [03:13] ksx4system: Since it is apt and dpkg, it is pretty much same. [03:13] cubevanbaby: my box randomly restarts GNOME session, it's a nightmare... x.org segfaults and nobody knows wtf is it [03:13] same nobody can figure out this sound thing for me [03:14] Seems to me to be a ALSA pulseaudio conflict [03:14] Uhriventis: what version of Ubuntu? [03:14] i have to go. bye you guys! [03:14] hello, how do i scan hard drive for errors and bad sectors in ubuntu? (similar to chkdsk in windows) [03:14] #VTCsysAdmin [03:14] guser_freeware: ubuntu is debian based and both are linux distributions. [03:14] His is 11.04. I use Slackware [03:14] Uhriventis: me or someone else? [03:14] We are running in loops [03:14] James123: The OS does it automatically every 24 boots [03:15] I plan to buy USB audio interface, what is the best that work well with ubuntu? please help [03:15] Uhriventis: did you check the audio app, make sure nothing is muted? [03:15] Someone else he is here but hadn't been heard [03:15] well i need it done now, i connected an old hard drive, i wanna find out in what condition it is, to check if it has bad blocks etc... [03:15] Yes [03:15] James123: use disk utility :) [03:15] !fsck [03:15] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:15] I put him through all trouble shooting ideas [03:16] Uhriventis: I think you need to check it when the app is actually running sound [03:16] if its ALSA pulseaudio conflict can someone link me [03:16] James123: palimpsest in a term or search for the app called 'disk utility' [03:16] I can only find old sites [03:16] 2008 [03:16] 10.10 [03:16] 10.04 [03:16] cubevanbaby: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:16] Okay, how would he do so [03:16] cubevanbaby: I don't think alsa and pulse will conflict on a software side, only on the hardware side [03:17] thank u [03:17] cubevanbaby: I take that back, nvm [03:17] How good is the NTFS compatibility nowadays? [03:17] I would need more everything ive followed online has led nowhere I need like a clear link or something [03:17] Ive spent 4 hours on this no dice [03:17] Bash: works great, no issues [03:17] Uhriventis: click the sound thing, sound prefs, Applications, it should be listed [03:17] Eh [03:17] James123: sure [03:18] Uhriventis: I like to also test with gstreamer-properties [03:18] edbian: No real worries about messing up a hdd tinkering around with files (and saving them to the same hdd)? [03:18] I'm not familiar with this new front end they use now [03:18] Bash: well you could tinker with certain files and mess things up... === TiG4 is now known as pixlgeek [03:19] god I keep researching with no luck. honestly I should just reinstall windows it sucks but honestly, it worked [03:19] edbian: Ofcourse, but I meant standard non-system files. [03:19] Bash: the actual ntfs-3g module won't do anything that corrupts files, no [03:19] I used to use it all the time [03:19] help anybody? [03:20] edbian: Nice. Last I used it it was really shoddy but it seems to have catched up. :) [03:20] Bash: yep :D [03:20] cubevanbaby: are you having the same issue? [03:20] yes [03:20] no sound [03:21] hello. [03:21] new1too: hello [03:21] cubevanbaby: maybe try gstreamer-properties [03:21] you've helped me alot. so far, so good. [03:22] new1too: o good :) [03:22] just wanted to say thanks [03:23] hm. I just found a good reason to update all my machines to Natty [03:23] new1too: sure! :D [03:23] :) [03:23] Was reading The Register - apparently Oneiric has dumped Gnome2, so if I want to try XFCE4 to get used to my new desktop, I guess I should try 4.8 which apparently is only in Natty [03:24] still no sound [03:24] tried every setting [03:25] cubevanbaby: did you try all the settings on the output tab under sound preferences?

[03:28] thanks [03:29] hi [03:29] i need help [03:29] can someone help me [03:30] Guest77188, i'm a little hesitant with this as your question isn't 100% clear. If you've enabled the root account and simply want to disable it, I think you could try "sudo passwd -l root" [03:30] how can i make my laptop faster [03:30] want to use gnucash on my lucid box for business, anyone know a decent channel for that [03:30] yeah but doesnt work [03:30] How do you mean faster? [03:30] !doesntwork | Guest77188 [03:30] Guest77188: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:30] it runs slow [03:30] Only enable root if your working on a server [03:31] newltoo it runs slow [03:31] and disable sudo for all users [03:31] What OS are you running? [03:31] ubuntu [03:31] How can I find out how large a folder is using the command line? Just like you do by right-clicking on the folder and choosing "Properties".

[03:34] why am I doing this to myself I thought linux was supposed to be better or whatever [03:34] newltoo> about 4-5 yrs old [03:34] when i use the command sudo password -l root it says command not found [03:35] newltoo> or can u point me in to a good book that i can read for linux [03:35] My laptop is 7 years old.

[03:40] i like fedora [03:40] html: whats your flavor [03:40] I haevn't messed with Fedora in forever [03:40] I have 15.

You can't disable the root account..and I imagine if you somehow did the system would not boot [03:42] not ubottu again!!! [03:42] brb [03:42] I've been gettin a weird error when I've been trying to do run the "make install" command from terminal. is there anyone who can help me figure it out? [03:42] thanks for the help guys [03:43] but how to close this terminal ? [03:43] type exit or ctrl-d [03:43] Guest59544, what are you trying to do? [03:43] what is the error Guest59544? [03:43] zHammeRz: Guest77188 there is not root acount in ubuntu by default, if you enabled it you are by your own [03:43] Guest59544, which package e.g. and why do you have to compile it manually? [03:43] rypervenche, there is no war of distros [03:43] yes i have enable it to run bastille but now i want to close the terminal [03:44] I was trying to install GIT, and got this error [03:44] /bin/sh: cannot create GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS: Permission denied [03:44] make: *** [GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS] Error 2 [03:44] thanks for the clarification xangua...guest77188 just type exit or press ctrl-d [03:44] hello [03:44] Guest59544, so why not use git from the official repositories?

[03:46] Guest77188, did you do a su elevation? if so, still type exit to go back to regular user priv's [03:46] Could really use a little insight into LZMA if anyone is around [03:46] stiltzkin: Im not who you are looking for, but what is your question? [03:47] rypervenche, i wanting to state that its cuz of fedora that you-bunt-too got some grounding and some money to be one of the big boys [03:47] ksx4system: you still round? [03:47] when i type exit it say log out but the root is still on [03:47] I was messing with gparted now it takes me to the desktop login screen but when I put my user name and password in a white square box flashes and nothing happens. I'm using lubuntu *I assume the same issue for ubuntu* [03:48] html: State all you want, it makes no difference to me. Next subject :) [03:48] ok, well since nobody has been able to help me does anyone know of a good paid support service? [03:48] ChogyDan: Yeah I might not even be in the right channel but you guys are usually pretty helpful with this kind of thing and it relates to Ubuntu - kind of. Basically I want to know if anyone knows of a parallel implementation of LZMA, particularly decompression. I have a 36GB LZMA-compressed file I need to extract, but as it stands now unlzma uses only 1 of my 8 available CPU cores to do the decompression. I want to know if there's some [03:49] no offense I understand this is out of the goodness of your hearts but spending 4 days trying to get sound to work is not my idea of novice user usability [03:49] cubevanbaby: you can get paid support from canonical [03:49] so is there another solution [03:50] !attitude | cubevanbaby [03:50] cubevanbaby: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:50] I was looking at fsarchiver, which has support for SMP compression/decompression and LZMA, but it looks like only when encapsulated in its own .fsa file format, it doesn't decompress plain archives [03:51] I covered off that this was a volunteer effort [03:51] Also 7zip supposedly has support for both of those things, but only in the Windows version <_< [03:52] Trying to set up VLC to stream my webcam on the home network. [03:52] my attitude reflects someone who is fed up because people who said they would help arent and people arent telling me they dont have answers so I asked for paid support especially since there are so many sound issues experienced by many. that is fair [03:52] cubevanbaby: you are correct. You may have better luck filing a bug report, where experts might get a better fix [03:53] I know this is a weird situation but if anyone knows of a solution I'd be really appreciative. And apologies if I'm too far off topic for this channel, but I am looking for something that works on Ubuntu, after all [03:53] I'm having trouble figuring out the settings, in particular, selecting the correct device. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:53] OMG why oh why did I backup lol (I backed up my main drive overtop of another drive that i swear was the empty drive :( sadly it wasnt and I ended up writing over one of my video drives all because I got a new mobo and figured that I would backup only to find out when I booted that everything was fine lol love ubuntu for that. Going to try testdisk and see if I can get the partitions back, I have a feeling that I will not be able t [03:53] o as I used ddrescue to do the clone [03:53] rypervenche, fedora is nice but the waiting for the iso is a little slow, p2p people need to seed their copys! and other distros [03:54] cubevanbaby, what do you need? [03:56] tnx for your attention to this I am on 11.04 with a realtek alc662 i installed the driver and tried every setting and all mutes including the speakers and I have 0 sound [03:58] crash1hd, well you do know about data recovery? [03:58] Maybe someone can point me to a channel that might know? Just shooting in the dark here [03:59] html, yep and I figured it wont hurt to try but I am not expecting miracles lol :) [04:00] Im just kicking myself for not mounting the drive first to verifying that it was the blank drive [04:00] Okay, so I think I mostly have the device figured out now. But when I send it to HTTP and then go to http://localhost/webcam I get server not found. [04:01] I'm guessing extra configuration is needed?

The power icon in the top-right has only Lock Screen and Suspend. Umm? [04:17] ok, clairification any online support that wont cost me as much as buying a new windows 7 cd? [04:17] rww: sudo shutdown now [04:17] sorry paid support [04:17] IdleOne: no. Tell me a way that isn't user-unfriendly. [04:18] IdleOne: or find me a bug on LP about it, my web browser is being stupid :( [04:18] rww: perhaps starting up system monitor and shutting down from there? (not sure you can) [04:19] it isn't very user friendly or discoverable but... [04:19] IdleOne: nothing relevant in there :( [04:19] so... paid support anyone? cheaper than 150 bux [04:19] rww sudo shutdown -h now [04:19] otherwise I should just get windows 7 :P [04:19] cubevanbaby: canonical.com has paid support [04:19] yes [04:20] very expensive support [04:20] BlackWeb: please to read scrollback :( [04:20] well it's either free ( requires patience) or canonical. [04:20] if its going to cost me as much as an os that works out of the box, why would I get the thing that doesnt work? [04:20] IdleOne: I'm serious about the LP bug thing, btw. It's probably easily Googleable, it's just not something I can get to :( [04:20] rww so you want to restart or shutdown right [04:20] BlackWeb: yes [04:21] rww: let me give a check. [04:21] open terminal [04:21] rww, can't you just logout, then use the DM to shutdown? [04:21] then copy and paste "sudo shutdown -r now" [04:21] that will reboot [04:21] zykotick9: Is there a Logout option somewhere I'm not seeing? [04:21] <[away]> so long so long [04:21] hrm, I wonder if...

[04:22] is anyone aware of an issue with dells freezing under natty? i have a brand new xps and it has completely frozen twice in the last two days [04:23] <[away]> damn! [04:23] is there some way to make ubuntu ignore one of my USB devices?

[04:30] @atharva Yes, you should be able to... may need to install Samba (sudo apt-get install samba4 if I recall) especially if one is Winblows. [04:30] <[away]> dr_willis: so how do you "blacklist" the module when you find it? [04:30] Atharva: you did make some shares? [04:30] Atharva... make sure you right click folders desired to share and designate in properties too. [04:30] : Both are ubuntu.. [04:31] ! blacklist [04:31] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [04:31] <[away]> oh nice1 [04:31] Atharva, if they're both running GNU/LInux, install openssh server on one (or both) then in the Ubuntu menu Places / Connect to Server / select SSH from the dropdown and input the other computer's info. Alternatives are NFS for SAMBA. [04:32] s/for/or/ [04:32] Atharva: learning to use ssh and sshfs is wirth the time. makes it easy to transfer files [04:32] samba can be a pain [04:32] I like PuTTY for ssh [04:33] : I have a shared folder on one of the computer..How to access it on other.. ? (with wifi). [04:33] theres more to ssh then just a remote cli. ;) [04:33] : Samba is also installed [04:33] Atharva: use the filemanager.. places menu item [04:34] or enter smb://ip.of.the.server/ to get to it [04:34] anyone has success to install ubuntu with 2tb h.d ? its makes a grub error [04:35] amircx: i doubt if its a hd size issue [04:35] amircx: Just 1.5tb i tried. Doing automated format? I always do manual... Ubuntu has given me weird grub errors since 10.10 with automated [04:36] http://askubuntu.com/questions/60273/2tb-harddrive-with-lvm-grub-error [04:36] see my question there [04:36] dr_willis : Please explain how to use the file manager..I am unable to get it. [04:36] i dont use lvm ;) [04:37] icon in panel for your files.... click on it... [04:37] so if i got 2tb hd and another 1 tb hd [04:37] look in places menu item... use connect to.. or network items [04:38] not on ubuntu so i cant be exact.. [04:38] and i want that the 2tb will be / and the 1 tb will added space to /home [04:38] is that possible without LVM? [04:38] amircx: trivial to do that [04:38] so yes amircx [04:38] how? [04:39] mount ither place to /home in fstab [04:39] can you give me example? [04:39] thats how its been done for years [04:39] ! mount [04:39] mount is used to attach devices to directories.

[04:40] 2tb for / is huge [04:40] is it any wonder that novices are scared of looking at linux? [04:41] cubevanbaby: state the ussue not rambling comments [04:42] anyone knows how to update nvida drivers from prompt or comand line [04:42] dr_willis : Thanks...And can you tell me Are there any exams of ubuntu to become a member of ubuntu (like you) ? [04:42] I have so many times its like mashing my skull into a bloody pulp against a giant brick wall. I have an aspire revo realtek alc662 and my sound doesnt work no matter what I do [04:42] Atharva: i read the docs and play with things. [04:42] self taught [04:43] <|Justm3|> hey question. is there a difference between the wubi ubuntu and ubuntu 11.04? [04:43] and Im sorry if I am pissed off its because Ive been asking for help for 4 hours asked for paid support which is as expensive as buying windows and Ive spend my entire long weekend on this [04:43] dr_willis : Which docs.....any example ? [04:43] |Justm3|: other then how rhey install.. no [04:43] it sucks so yeah I am losing patience [04:43] <|Justm3|> really? you POSITIVE? [04:43] Atharva: any and All i can find [04:44] Atharva: start with learning bash [04:44] I didn't google anything except your model #, and the one you told me it was came with windows xp, but yet your the dummy that blowed away your recovery partition so if your such an expert figure it out yourself [04:44] Hi all [04:44] dr_willis, ? are you there? [04:44] dr_willis : Thanks.. [04:45] <|Justm3|> dr_willis: are you 100% positive that they are exactly the same? [04:45] zHammeRz: that's not helpful :( [04:45] <|Justm3|> cuz if so... then i found the solution to my driver problem :D [04:45] I dont care about installing windows back I was hoping to get the sound to work [04:45] Anybody here use gnome 3? [04:45] |Justm3|: the yser would see little differance. thers a few little things different. but i dobt recomend wuni [04:45] if you dont know, then say so [04:45] wtb, easier ignore option for XChat :) [04:45] drivers are the same just.. [04:46] and by the way, whats the protocol on people cursing the hell out of you on pm? [04:46] sorry sys crash [04:46] ;) windows.. [04:46] <|Justm3|> dr_willis: well, i tried wubi cuz EVERY other linux distro seemed to reject my monitor [2000x1000 px] and my wifi... the wubi worked JUST fine for those :| [04:46] can you paste again the url that explains how to do the mount [04:47] how can i check how much space im using on my server? [04:47] dr_willis : Great work..keep it up...Inspired by you..Thanks..:) [04:47] is this part of the helpful newbie user community? [00:43] dude, your a fucking asshole...fuckiing noob [04:47] drivets should be udentical justm3 [04:47] is it any wonder that I am frustrated? [04:47] wuni justsboots differently [04:47] <|Justm3|> dr_willis: the other linux distros didnt have them by default tho... [04:48] cubevanbaby: I believe you're familiar with /ignore. Quoting inappropriate comments in the channel only inflames matters. [04:48] cubevanbaby, i here, [04:48] what video chipset? [04:48] so I am supposed to just endure that jesus [04:48] <|Justm3|> nvidia GEFORCE GTX? [04:48] different distris can gave diff verons if drivers [04:49] cubevanbaby: No, you're supposed to ignore it. I can't ban someone from the channel for what boils down to your word vs theirs, so there's not much I can do. [04:49] more specufic chipset. gtx us a common term i think [04:49] <|Justm3|> ummmm [04:49] <|Justm3|> idk D: [04:49] nvida works fine for my 4 machines [04:50] you know, this is why people are afraid to adopt [04:50] Apologies, figured I would take it PM since they have been working on it for a while and it would save the channel some spam..my mistake lol [04:50] I am frustrated because for the past 3 days nobody even responded to me in here [04:50] cubevanbaby: no its not. please stick to support. [04:50] then I ask nicely no response [04:50] cubevanbaby: As you've been told, #ubuntu is for technical support. Ranting about how you're not getting any just contributes to making the channel less usable for everyone else who is also seeking support. [04:50] if no one knows then they dont know [04:51] but its cool for people to cuss me out tell me to install windows and $%^& myself [04:51] could be alsa has no supporr for the chipset. [04:52] could be it may just work in the next release also. [04:52] cubevanbaby, i here, , and i dont want you to do any of that [04:52] <|Justm3|> dr_willis: but can i be assured that since wubi worked *out of the box*, 11.04 will work JUST the same *right out of the box*? [04:52] thank god, an answer [04:52] jystn3 it should [04:53] <|Justm3|> ok [04:53] test with a luve cd justm3 [04:53] <|Justm3|> im downloading the iso right now... [04:53] <|Justm3|> 85% done... [04:53] <|Justm3|> then gonna load onto my jump drive, and try and install... [04:53] <|Justm3|> wait... [04:53] wuni can be a pain ;) [04:54] <|Justm3|> should i try installing, or just loading? [04:54] test live desktop [04:54] <|Justm3|> k... [04:54] for my nvudia i must install the nvidia drivers to get proper res. yours may differ [04:55] <|Justm3|> hm [04:55] live cd gives ma a lowres screen [04:55] <|Justm3|> well, as i have no wifi access unless the drivers are there...

I get that you do this for free but jesus christ its like you're the big bullies and I'm the stupid noob. I dont get why you guys have to be like that. [04:57] more ranting..

See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [04:58] i was offering suggestions but the rants overshadowwd them [04:58] <|Justm3|> what is ubottu? a bot?

I got it working on my Ubuntu netbook, but not with windows. [05:02] nomoseset [05:02] i give up [05:02] dr_willis: andone more time... [05:02] silly android irc client [05:02] dr_willis, I was thinking they might want to know but just didn't want to interject [05:03] nomodeset ? [05:03] hi [05:03] 11.10 has improved the nvidia issues at least [05:04] !nomodeset [05:04] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [05:04] [OT] dr_willis: get Swype may be :) [05:04] Could anyone help me setup a Print server? [05:05] andchat has issues here nit showing what i type with all keynords [05:05] how can i check how much space im using on my server? [05:05] Valder: cups us installed be default for that [05:06] I know, but I can't get it to work with my windows machine [05:06] nor can I get it to work over internet. [05:07] hi [05:07] ssfdre38: df -h for fs level, du -h --max-depth=1 for dir level.

[05:08] is a dual boot [05:09] xuser1, screen shot is hard to read what orefaced this happening? [05:09] i want to see system wide how much percent wise the space im using [05:09] prefaced xuser1 [05:10] i havent other screenshot [05:10] xuser1: First time booting linux? [05:10] no [05:10] xuser1: Try using older kernel. Reboot. Hold SHIFT. Select an older version of kernel. [05:10] xuser1, no problem, any hints to why this might have happened or this just suddenly happened on a running setup. [05:11] i used my phone to do that screenshot [05:11] ssfdre38, Ttry 'df -H' [05:11] ssfdre38 - working on an answer for you. uno momento, par favour [05:11] i havent any older screenshots [05:12] *any older kernels [05:12] :) [05:12] i havent other older kernel [05:12] xuser1, boot a live cd run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [05:12] ok [05:12] df -k --total [05:13] GhostWolf: Did you resolve your problem? If not, I was thinking that you could mount your Vista drive and copy the file over that way. [05:13] Hello jessie_ [05:13] Valder, thanks that worked [05:13] you don't need the -k, though. [05:13] just df --total will do the trick [05:13] if you just want the final answer: [05:13] df -k | tail -1 [05:13] no problem. What permittivity said works too. [05:14] if you just want the percentage: df --total | awk '/total/ { print $5 }' [05:14] that's all [05:14] next in line, please. lol [05:14] permittivity: FYI --total doesnt work with nfs mounts [05:14] Help me! lol [05:14] ah, good point. you're very right. [05:15] hmm, you need to know it on NFS stuff, too? [05:15] I need to setup this Print server to work with windows. [05:15] thought that was an easy question. [05:15] permittivity: lol I didnt ask the question.. just pointing it out.. as it will count multiple mounts to the same device [05:16] Valder: i just install samba. and set cups to share my printer and they work with windows. worked for years ;) [05:16] valder. cups can be a pain but I suggest you install the cups web interface. hmm, what's the nifty little "program" called. it's really a huge help in getting cups + samba to work with windows. [05:16] cups web is installed by default [05:16] That's what it said at ubuntu wiki, but I look for the printer in windows and nothing.. [05:16] this is the result http://paste.ubuntu.com/684101/ [05:17] is the anyway to completely remove Samba? Configurations and everything? [05:17] Valder: enter the ip#. dont rely on samba ir host names perhaps [05:18] ave you tweaked samba at all Valder [05:18] valder, sure there is, but why would you? samba runs out of a config file. [05:18] AlessonZaire: Hello. What's up? [05:18] Yes. I was file sharing. I think that's where I messed it up. [05:18] check smb.conf to be sure printers are shared perhaps [05:18] valder: ok. let me give you a helping hand. uno momento,senor [05:19] Si! [05:19] jessie_ nothing special, just greeting :D [05:19] valder: i'm assumign you can use the command line? [05:19] user made shares shouldent affect cups at all [05:19] Yes. [05:19] I'm using ssh right now to connect to the server. [05:20] trying to download and install testdisk [05:20] It happened that I switched here the moment you were logging in haha [05:20] and Willis, I'm not sure, but I think I just messed with something in the config that doesn't make it work. [05:20] I down loaded everything but dont know how to launch [05:20] valder: can you give us the output of the following, please don't paste anything self identifiable: [05:20] grep -v ^# /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep -v ^$ [05:21] Because it was working (sharing a folder) then it stopped. [05:21] Hello everyone, would anyone be able to help me? [05:21] imadam, ask a question and we will see [05:21] urlin2u: any idea http://paste.ubuntu.com/684101/ ? [05:21] can anyone help me get testdisk up and running [05:22] Windows doesn't boot from GRUB2 menu . It gives an error that partition not found ... any solutions? [05:22] Thanks! When trying to install ubuntu 11.04 via disk onto my desktop I got a few days ago I get an error. [05:22] A message comes up saying: The instaler encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] input/output error. - This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk.... [05:22] Any advice? [05:22] give me a sec. [05:22] no windows works [05:23] is a grub problem? [05:23] REK: you realize the answer you're going to get from us, right? lol [05:23] I think I'm in the wrong chat room. Can someone help me connect to a room that can help a newbie [05:23] yeah xuser1 [05:23] permittivity: what do you mean by that :S [05:23] lol. remove windows, then you dont' have to worry about booting to it. lol [05:24] imadam: make new cd. verify its md5. [05:24] xuser1, it looks good try reloading grub to the mbr it looks like it should boot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 [05:24] well i need it for certain purpose as well :/ [05:24] davidwinter62: sudo apt-get install testdisk [05:24] so , does windows create this problem? [05:24] davidwinter62: what's exactly does you need then? using ubuntu? [05:24] dr_willis: so you think it may just be an issue with the CD? [05:24] davidwinter62 you're in the right place, just explain your problem, if someone knows the answer, they'll let you know [05:24] xuser1, the script shows it should be booting I see know cause. [05:24] I was able to get linux mint up and running, so its not a hard drive issue? [05:25] imadam: or the hd.... like the message said [05:25] xuser1: it doesnt boot at all i changed the UUID and did test disk [05:25] valder: still alive over there? [05:25] but nothing fixes it [05:25] hds can die at ANY time [05:26] imadam, can you paste bin a screen shot opf gparted? [05:26] imadam, are you installing it from cd or dvd? If so, try burning the image again using a slower speed, such as 4x. you might have just got a bad burn. [05:26] How can I run a check to verify its md5? [05:26] im not sure is a hhd problem windows works [05:26] imadam: run md5sum [05:26] !md5sum | imadam [05:26] imadam: 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 [05:26] Its a DVD-R CD. [05:26] I would try burning it again at a slower speed and then try to re-install [05:27] and what ubott said :) [05:27] xuser1: the windows is good . It works but it present on another physical drive . So I think GRUB has some problem recognizing the HDD [05:27] Thanks guys, going to try the lower speed and see what happens. I had an older linix mint version on a CD I was able to install onto the desktop, so doesn't look like an HD issue. [05:28] windows and linux are on same hdd [05:28] no [05:28] different HDD [05:28] one is on ssd other on hdd [05:28] xuser1, yeah, do you want to try just reloading the mbr? [05:28] REK_007: win is on c (dev/.sda1) an linux on |dev/sda 3 [05:29] REK: are you sure that linux loaded grub to the hard drive that the bios uses to boot from? [05:29] xuser1, sorry your talking to another. [05:29] permittivity: yes [05:29] xuser1: yeah i get that ... but cant fix it :( [05:29] How do I load up terminal in 11.04? I'm a noob and been running 10. somthing for a looong time. [05:30] Is there any easy way add the Google Calendar to Ubuntu? Every tutorial I look at points me to software that doesn't seem to exist anymore.... [05:30] imadam, when you get 11 loaded up, just press the windows key, then in the search type terminal, then click :) [05:30] imadam: Search for it in Applications "Terminal" [05:30] REK_007, run this script from a live cd and pastebin the RESULTS.txt http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [05:31] Lasers: Oh wow, thanks. Works a treat. Looks like I have alot to learn. [05:31] urlin2u: how do i reload the mbr? [05:31] imadam: Good luck. :) [05:31] Thanks guys. [05:31] imadam: You never stopped learning in linux. [05:31] Truth! [05:32] GRUB stull says no such device no such partition [05:32] Thats very true. The main reason while I'll never change back to Windows. [05:33] xuser1, I posted the grub2 linl [05:33] I'm on my works computer (sadly they run windows) is InfraRecorder any good when it comes to burning disks? [05:33] !grub | xuser1 [05:33] xuser1: 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) [05:33] imadam, works great [05:34] imadam: its great. Remember to burn as slowly as possible [05:34] slow and steady wins the race (to awesome Ubuntu-ness) [05:34] i need install grub 2? [05:34] Can anyone recommend a company that builds computers with ubuntu preinstalled? [05:35] imadam, that's the scuttlebutt.:D [05:35] Or a few? :P [05:35] Sup [05:35] No one^??? [05:35] !sup | OJ_Simpson [05:36] Okay! [05:36] earthshade, dell used too, not sure if they still do [05:36] OJ_Simpson: Nevermind. How're you? What do you need help with? Spit out. :) [05:36] I got it! lol [05:36] earthshade, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPre-installed [05:36] <-- Kubuntu 11.04 [05:36] earthshade: www.Linuxpreloaded.com [05:36] http://pastebin.com/VCQiNBKS [05:36] zHammeRz: I dont think so [05:36] Thx urlin2u and ActionParsnip ill check it out [05:36] I know they did for a while, they may have abandoned it..check the other links :) [05:38] Or just home build :-) [05:38] even when they did, Dell only installed it on their most underpowered computers, it seemed...... [05:38] I installed the Full Kubuntu package and it broke my Nvidia video driver, so After removing the package video driver still broke, then I did a clean install with the same /home and still no Nvidia driver [05:38] jeffrey_, yea I did notice that. [05:39] OJ_Simpson, you have to install it sounds like [05:39] urlin2u ans ActionParsnip thanks! An the only company i had checked out before was system76, but everything seemed wayyyyy overpriced [05:39] sounds like kubuntu did not break the driver [05:39] OJ_Simpson: did you try: sudo nvidia-xconfig [05:39] i am server administrator and the server is in another room and i would like to acess remotly using vncviewer but this one is not compfortable becaouse i must be enter to server room and in order to make allow and also iam using putty but this one is fine but this is also i coudnt acess the graphical like vnc viewer is there any body to help me? [05:40] Not that big of a market for Ubuntu. Couldn't you always buy a desktop from Dell running no OS and install ubuntu yourself? [05:40] I installed the video driver directly from Nvidia the first time, after the clean install I tried to install the driver from the restricted driver section but neither of them will activate [05:41] tewea: vnc is very insecure. What distro / OS does the server run? [05:41] tewea: use vncserver not the built in gnome remote desktop vnc. no need to go to ther room then [05:41] imadam: you can buy computers without operating systems?!?!?!? [05:42] earthshade: of course [05:42] earthshade: sure [05:42] earthshade, or just build your own..plenty of howTO guilds on the 'net on how to build one from scratch. [05:42] imadam bare bones baby [05:42] ActionParsnip:ubuntu serevr 8.4 [05:42] howto GUIDES I mean :) [05:42] earthshade, you sure can. I contacted Dell last year asking if they could do it and they said sure. [05:42] You pay over the odds for a new computer running windows. [05:43] Sorry, ios multitasking fail there [05:43] tewea: so why do you need more than ssh? I hope you didn't install a desktop on it [05:43] Dr.Willis. Here are my Samba config files. [05:43] zHammeRz: I want a laptop though so thats gonna be a bit tougher [05:43] http://pastebin.com/VCQiNBKS [05:43] sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found [05:44] And also if you do buy a computer without an OS how do you know if it will be compatible [05:44] With ubuntu [05:44] earthshade: tough yes but some companies give the option [05:44] ubuntu is kinda compatable with ever pc [05:44] every [05:45] earthshade, http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [05:45] Almost every. [05:45] there s a list of part on ubunutu .com that tells you, and ask people, earthshade [05:45] OJ_Simpson: its there when you install an nvidia driver via the repos [05:45] ActionParsnip:i would like to acess remotly like fro example to show me all the application on the server like the terminal it self and run another graphical application? [05:45] earthshade, what do you have in mind? to build? [05:45] nodex, disagree. I installed ubuntu onto my laptop a while back and pretty messed up my wireless card. [05:45] Im dual booting ubuntu on my old pc now and there are a lot of compatibility issues, thats why im wondering [05:46] html: A laptop, without being specific at all [05:46] pop the live cd in and if can connect to the internet install simple done [05:46] tewea: ssh can do that for the most part. [05:47] @ActionParsnip reinstalling driver now I'll let you know what happens when I reboot [05:47] ssh -x remotepc run gedit.. it appears locally. running on remote [05:47] How can I reset Samba to default configurations? [05:47] earthshade, if its unity based then brace your self for a fight , to get it to work , unless you find the rare gups that dont have much of one [05:47] dr_willis:but ssh can only brings me the file not all application [05:48] Valder: that config looks very default to me exept for the one share [05:48] Html: you lost me there :P [05:48] tewea: rephrase that. it made no sense [05:48] tewea: there are web ui possiblities but the more services you add to be connected to, the less security you will have. There are guides for VNCing to headless systems around the web if you really want. I'd look into ebox too, see if it suits your needs [05:48] earthshade, if its unity based then brace your self for a fight , to get it to work , unless .. [05:48] Then why do you believe my Windows pc won't connect? What port does Samba use or does it even use any? [05:48] If what is unity based? Unity based? [05:48] Nothing wrong with Unity [05:49] Im so lost [05:49] <<< tewea: you can connect to ssh with x forwarding allowed, and run gui apps. Any windows systems will [05:49] Unity is GUI which isthe bar you see on the top. [05:49] Valder: 631 for cups.. and it may not be a samba issue. but a cups onw. can you access that minecraft share? [05:50] Need to run xming but the app will show on the desktop [05:50] No, I can't [05:50] Valder: ah, so what do i need to fight if something is unity based? [05:50] earthshade, then your going to do like 3x and up more work just tring to !) find one that works (gpu) or go with something thats going to give you hell [05:50] Valder: try to access it via ip. not server name [05:50] Depends on how old your computer is. [05:50] FIND ONE WHAT?!?!? [05:50] dr_willis, I'll try. [05:51] ActionParsnip:how can i connect to ssh with x forwarding tell me how can i do that? [05:51] What is a good IRC client for linux? [05:51] tewea: ssh -x foo [05:51] I tried \\192.168.1.X and nothing [05:51] imadam, I use XChat [05:51] imadam: Xchat [05:51] Valder: can you ping the box? [05:52] Thanks guys, going to download Xchat. I haven't been on IRC for years. [05:52] That, I can do [05:52] xchat all the way [05:52] check firewall Valder is all i can suggest [05:52] tewea: ssh -X foo [05:52] dr_willis:but it says Could not resolve hostname foo: Name or service not known? [05:52] ufw allow smbd? [05:52] tewea: ssh -X [05:53] tewea: dr_willis note it is "ssh -X foo" not -x which actually disables X forwarding [05:53] tewea: think a bit... foo is an example name..;) [05:53] yalha! [05:53] hey all [05:53] tewea: in putty there is a tickbox. You will need to install xming then run it, so the apps have an x server to stick to. The app runs on server but displays on the client. Its not a million miles from Citrix [05:53] how comes i have to force all of my CPU-cores to run at the desired speed? i'm getting lag in games otherwise [05:53] i make x forarding the default ;) [05:54] zHammeRz, kinda, if you can get it too work, fine, but if your a person wanting a gpu that works well with unity , AND for those speed demonds /muliti-taskers, compiz,3d effects and a few other in conjunktion , [05:54] tewea: i suggest: ssh -X -C user@host [05:54] Ok so I reinstalled the nvidia driver from repository and now it says it's active but not in use [05:54] dr_willis, will ufw allow smbd allow samba throw the firewall? [05:54] local lan can use -Y i recall [05:55] html, I seem to have plenty of speed. I just use a nvidia 8800gts 320mb .. the only issue i have is when moving windows around it pauses..haven't been successful at turning off the 'show windows contents while dragging' option (B/c I can't find it) :) [05:55] Other than that issue, I love Unity and the way it flows [05:55] Valder: i dont yse a firewall at all. normally [05:55] Ah... okay [05:56] Ha! That worked. [05:56] how comes i have to force all of my CPU-cores to run at the desired speed? i'm getting lag in games otherwise [05:56] sudo nvidia-xconfig [05:56] [sudo] password for dan: [05:56] Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". [05:56] VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [05:56] Device section "Default Device" must have a Driver line. [05:56] sh: pkg-config: not found [05:56] OJ_Simpson: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:57] sorry [05:57] zHammeRz, nvidia is a bit better at linux , but try going the 150.00 to 299.00$ range and for what ive seen its hard,, i just as go with system 76 [05:58] OJ_Simpson, PASTBIN! [05:59] ActionParsnip:still it is not working? [05:59] OJ_Simpson, PASTBIN! http://pastebin.com/ [06:00] http://pastebin.com/e4PCqXra [06:01] ActionParsnip:what suppose to do me in putty [06:02] uh [06:02] Thank you for your help, dr_willis [06:02] what is the difference between "emacs32" and "emacs-snapshot" [06:02] I got it working. [06:04] is 2.6x a good speed to burn ubuntu onto a disk? [06:05] sure? [06:05] Someone on here told me to try burning slower. [06:05] yea, few of us did :) [06:06] Well if you had problems with similar setup then yes [06:06] I just burn dvd's at 4x [06:06] So can anyone figure this one out http://pastebin.com/e4PCqXra [06:06] ActionParsnip:were do i install xming? [06:06] What about write method? Is session-at-once (SAO) ok? [06:07] I leave those at default [06:07] Shall just leave it at default and try the lower speed. [06:08] imadam, just write as image [06:08] OJ_Simpson: add Driver line to Default Device section ? [06:08] anyone know why google chrome's Developer Tools refuse to let me edit javascript dynamically? I click and double-click on javascript in the 'Scripts' tab like i'm supposed to and nothing ever happens. I've tried it in ubuntu 10.04 LTS on 3 different machines using different versions of chrome, including the 14.x beta and 15.x developer channel versions. [06:08] Is there an easy way to have Ubuntu 'watch' a piece of software that crashes very rarely and automatically restart it if it stops running? Furthermore, is it an easy task [06:08] yet somehow it works in my 13.0 chrome install on windows 7 :| [06:09] OJ_Simpson: afaik googling the error seems like the generated xorg.conf does not contain device line since that is not compulsory, but nvidia-xconf requires such [06:09] imadam, you kept saying the HD is okay are you familiar with the limit of partition types on a sigle HD? [06:09] fus10nx1: run it manually from terminal [06:10] susundberg: what good will that do ? [06:10] urlin2u, has no partition. Not running any OS what so ever, bare bone :) [06:10] Like I said before I previously installed the driver directly from Nvidia [06:10] and that seems like a bad solution for when the machine reobots [06:10] fus10nx1: i guess you can also attach to the process with gdb [06:10] imadam, cool [06:10] fus10nx1: yes that is for debugging only -- what did you want to do and why? [06:11] i have a piece of VPN based software and every so often (very rarely) it'll crash [06:11] and i have to manually go in and restart it [06:11] its rare, but when it happens my alert system sends hundreds of alerts since none of the machines can talk to teh main server [06:11] think nagios [06:11] fus10nx1: you can have a script with endless loops with the command of the app in it . (given it is not a daemon).

[07:47] This maybe a silly question but does ubuntu install faster in 'text mode' or once the live cd environment has loaded [07:48] Cancel that lol [07:48] DaVamps: Logout. On the login screen at the bottom there will be a dropdown to choose your session. Choose Classic Gnome [07:48] DaVamps, you want the classic desktop? [07:49] how can i get the network manger window through command ?? [07:49] i am using gnome [07:49] google it, its on the forms [07:49] somsip : ahh so with 11.04 it almost presets the windows managers [07:49] DaVamps: Log out and Log in until you have keyed in your username. Then at the bottom there will appear a menu. Select "GNOME Classic'. [07:49] DaVamps: Just defaults to Unity, 'tis all. But no more Classic after 11.10 [07:49] is there a program that allow me to securely write over a USB stick multiple times?

[07:51] somsip : figures.. i know progress is a good thing.. but so is a solid working foundation. lol [07:51] DaVamps: Unity is not for m either, but many people like it, so UTT [07:51] honey: yes, it's a command line downloader, but there's a GUI representation of wget too [07:51] Johnny_Giggles, nowadays, this method is not more secure than simple wiping with just one iteration [07:51] Johnny_Giggles: dd will do that for you, or shred (if I remember correctly) [07:52] asdjaputra:i need the graphical [07:52] somsip : yea.. i'm sure i will get used to it.. and eventually figure it out.. but until then... classic is best :D [07:52] DaVamps: as long as you find something thatworks for you.

[07:57] Johnny_Giggles: yeah, cool [07:57] DaVamps: Well, if the Classic option goes with 11.10, maybe you would prefer an alternative. Openbox is one.

[08:01] DaVamps: Never tried it so I can't help. I do see discussions about dual-head on here so maybe someone els can chime in. I'll leave it to them [08:01] honey: and there's a youtube-dl-gui for GUI in python [08:01] I tried to install auto+vnc server but failed, here is my attempts e.g: https://gist.github.com/1200009 [08:01] somsip : totally understandable [08:01] ActionParsnip: Deskto [08:01] DaVamps: sure, nvidia-settings can let you configure 2 seperate X servers on each display easily [08:01] Starminn: does it have a make and model or is it a home build? [08:02] asdjaputra: id ownload it both of them but the youtube-dl how can i use it? [08:02] honey: gwget and youtube-dl-gui? [08:02] ActionParsnip : that would make the that the 2 monitors display an extended desktop setting? [08:03] Do i have to disable SELinux? [08:03] DaVamps: Makes sense, I'd say so [08:03] asdjaputra: yes gwget and youtube-dl [08:04] ActionParsnip: The desktop? It's all stock with the exception of some extra RAM.

[08:12] DaVamps-AFK, install=easy, setup=hard [08:13] OK, If I already have Vista installed, and I want to setup a Dual boot, I can create my root partition for ubuntu as a logical partition right? [08:13] asdj : is openbox based off of fluxbox? [08:13] DaVamps-AFK: I haven't done it for 2-3 years, so I can't advise [08:14] how can uninstall a program on console ? [08:14] DaVamps-AFK, no idea, sorry [08:14] JadedJacob: depends how many partitions you have already [08:14] bambanx: sudo apt-get remove packagename [08:14] it seems like the hardware manufacturers are rejecting linux for some reason! [08:14] DaVamps-AFK, i think it's based on BB let me google it [08:15] JadedJacob: if you only have one, you can make them all primary as each physical drive can only have FOUR primary partitions [08:15] thanks [08:15] !print | prakas [08:15] prakas: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[08:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html [08:15] JadedJacob, unlikely that you need a boot partition, the mbr takes care of that. [08:15] irc.haxnet.org [08:15] JadedJacob, outdated [08:15] scandalist, is that ubuntu-related? [08:15] i have cups installed probably [08:16] Yes [08:16] I have a quick question, what program should you use to run object codes files i.e. compiled C code files? [08:16] hmmm [08:16] JadedJacob: You need a minimum of 2 partitions for Ubuntu, so you will only need 3 partitions, so all can be primary (in this example) [08:16] MSgtGunny: you can run them with g++ or install an IDE like geany [08:17] scandalist, connection timed out [08:17] prakas: what make and model is teh printer? [08:17] ActionParsnip: actually you only need a / partition (swap is optional but highly recomended) [08:17] i want to take a movie (big buck bunny ) and make it in a iso so i can put in in the dvd player , how do i go about that?

[08:32] ActionParsnip, i see! i've been using the classic look on my desktop forever, but i recently installed the latest on a laptop and found it strange and unusable [08:32] khaliG: you may need to jump to XFCE / LXDE / KDE then [08:32] ActionParsnip: the one I linked to has 3.1.9 [08:32] but we shall see :) thanks again [08:32] bbl [08:32] khaliG, if you use it for a while you'll get used to it [08:33] Untouchab1e: you get the idea ;) [08:33] i am connected now using wvdial, everything is working except evolution and chat, the items in the envelope menu in the top right corner [08:33] khaliG: if you don't like gnome3 or unity then I'd highly recomend xfce [08:33] asdjaputra, lol but i hate it, and no i never will! :) [08:33] so does evolution only recognize connections from teh connection manager? [08:33] the [08:33] khaliG, i tried another distro to avoid it (Deb) but it looks so cool i can't resist to use it :D [08:34] khaliG, as ActionParsnip said, jump to another DE/WM [08:34] asdjaputra, i guess its just familiarity [08:34] i'd rather not, i like classic - it seems to be fine now [08:34] khaliG, yep, it's still in development state btw, so do expect bugs [08:34] asdjaputra, the new look is? [08:34] khaliG at first i hated the new interface, but once i got used to it i love it [08:35] khaliG: when Natty is EOL you will need to use a different DE or use the Unity stuffs [08:35] khaliG, yes [08:35] in 11.10 it'll be far more better [08:35] khaliG: gnome2 won't be around from 11.10 onwards [08:35] oh man, the whole reason i switched to the default look from years of using blackbox etc was because i just wanted to use the default - thing is the default now just plain sucks [08:35] asdjaputra: works fine here ;) [08:35] i wrote a review in Muktware (for Dash only though) [08:36] ben_stein: is evolution in offline mode? [08:36] auronandace: there is a 3rd party fork of gnome2 called 'mate' [08:36] so now i might have to go back to blackbox lol [08:36] ActionParsnip, yes, on some computers [08:36] khaliG, fluxbox :) [08:36] ActionParsnip: yeah I saw that in the arch forums, thanks [08:37] asdjaputra, i wanted to get away from all that tinkering :/ [08:37] anyway this is getting a bit ot [08:37] auronandace: so it will 'be around' then? [08:37] actionparsnip may u PM me please [08:37] khaliG, in blackbox or unity? [08:38] ActionParsnip: not as gnome2 (and I doubt mate will be ready in time to be supported by the next ubuntu release) [08:38] ActionParsnip, no, it wont find an internet connection unless the connection was done through the network manager, but i need to connect using wvdial at the moment, which is working fine for everything except evolution and gtalk [08:38] asdjaputra, blackbox, I used to waste too much time setting up keybindings and refining them - so forced myself to switch to vanilla ubuntu years back [08:38] auronandace: true [08:38] ben_stein: let me search === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [08:40] hello all, i ust installed 11.04 on a usb drive but it said it couldnt install the mbr, is there any way i can fix this, like installing the mbr manually?

If you need to rant, find another place to do so [08:55] bartmon, edit .dmrc [08:55] khaliG: yes, they do believe they can do better.

[09:13] devcalais: I did find a very long and complicated method to switch from 32 to 64, but I just installed 64 on a separate partition and built it up from there [09:14] bartmon: from what i understand here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/728746 , the issue would be that i'm missing some files. however, those files are present in my case [09:14] Launchpad bug 728746 in linux-firmware (Ubuntu Natty) "broadcom 80211 firmware needs symlinks" [Medium,Fix released] [09:14] Action : or would i be better off to sudo apt-get install metacity- [09:14] bahamas: because bashrc is ment to configure your current tty/pty not to grant/deny access globally to the x server.

[09:18] dagon666: doesn't xorg have a config file where you can do this? [09:20] bahamas: yes, that was fixed during 11.04 development, before the release in april. I would personally try the method outlined in the last comment - blacklist the default driver (module) and go with b43 & fwcutter.

[09:44] looking at the package info for linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.38-11-generic_2.6.38-11.201108241605_amd64.deb it says "You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-alsa-driver-modules-natty-generic meta-package", (which would presumably keep the modules in step with the kernel), but this package is not in my apt-cache list. any idea why?

[09:51] maalac: jumpers will be on the motherboard [09:51] maalac: you mean you removed the bios battery on the motherboard? [09:51] yes, and i tried looking for the jumpers i don't see any ..

[09:54] coolforyou, welcome [09:54] I'm trying to install ubuntu at a "hp EliteBook 8540w" with a nvidia "Quadro FX 1800M". The liveCD crashes when starting Xorg. I've had some trouble with openSuSE 11.4 until I've installed Nvidia-drivers. My concern is that the card is too new for "nv" or "noveau" drivers. How can I enforce the liveCD to use vesa or alike? [09:54] thank ou koshie [09:54] Np [09:55] :) [09:55] coolforyou, it's a big community with a lot of nice people. And bad too. :D [09:55] But Ubuntu is perfect for new user. [09:55] is it good idea to practice ubuntu linux in VMware ? [09:55] what happens if you type 'ftp &' in a terminal? is it started somewhere invisibly and you can reuse the terminal? [09:55] pato: there may be some way but I would just use the alternate install cd instead [09:55] !alternate | pato [09:55] pato: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [09:55] idefix: the process will run in the background [09:55] coolforyou, why not. You've Wubi too. It's is just to try it it's good. But for every day I don't think so. [09:56] pato: add the boot option: blacklist.nouveau=1 [09:56] idefix: 'fg' should bring it back to the foreground [09:56] idefix: so yes, you can continue to type in the terminal [09:56] Wubi install Ubuntu IN windows, like a software. So it's not the best way to use Ubuntu :) [09:56] pato: you will then use the nv driver which should work ok [09:56] anyone, is there some option in wubi, which forces the reinstallation? [09:56] jrib is there a way to resend it back to the background? [09:56] kos, i just wanted to practice the linux command and instaling driver s , so is VM ware is good option for me [09:56] idefix: ctrl-z and then 'bg' [09:56] idefix: probably best to use screen [09:56] apa__: you can uninstall it, then reinstall it [09:57] coolforyou, not good for driver :D [09:57] apa__: uninstall reinstall [09:57] robinduckett? what do you mean with that? [09:57] ook ok bro , [09:57] ftp is an ftp client right? [09:57] VM simulate a computer, for Ubuntu that's not your computer, but an other, simulate by vm [09:57] why would you want to background it? [09:57] so what can i learn through VMware kos :) [09:57] coolforyou: vmware is great as a testing bed but the hardware is virtualized so you sidestep a lot of driver issues [09:57] help me i cant play vdos on xmbc [09:57] How to join Yahoo chat room on ubuntu [09:57] I cant get Medibuntu repo to appear on natty, anyone had similar problem? [09:57] !info xbmc [09:57] coolforyou, you can test a lot of thing on Ubuntu :) [09:57] Package xbmc does not exist in natty [09:57] Guest42033: seriously? [09:58] xbox media center [09:58] Yes [09:58] midhuno: i'd ask in the xbmc channel [09:58] Guest42033: turn your computer off and go outside [09:58] OK, guys (jrib, ActionParsnip), thanks a lot. I'll try the blacklist.noveau=1 right now. If it fails, I'll try the alternate. [09:58] Guest42033: find a pretty girl and make a connection [09:58] Guest42033: there is empathy and pidgin which can do it, or you can install gyache [09:58] if i try to run wubi, it does not allow me to install, it just gives me options to read more, or restart. I had wubi installation but i removed the c:\ubuntu and c:\wubins* stuff, and now i cant reinstall it.. [09:58] ok that fien Action and kos . so it is impossible to practice driver s installation in VMware right ? [09:59] I'm having a heck of a time trying to configure custom settings in xorg.conf for my joystick. I'm trying to customize the button layout so it is useful for XBMC, but no matter what I do, it just does the default layout. Help? Plz?? [09:59] i hav problems in using public wifi networks in ubuntu [09:59] You don't have to install by yourself a driver on Ubuntu, just in some case. [09:59] apa__: this page has how to manually uninstall: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [09:59] coolforyou, [09:59] what 2 do? [09:59] ActionParsnip: i have done the manual uninstall, it didnt help [09:59] thas fine kos .:) [09:59] AwwwCrap: does it work in other apps [09:59] In most popular case your hardware are supported by Ubuntu with free driver, if it's not, you've proprietary, sometimes better [10:00] Like for gamers. [10:00] apa__: that page is all I know of wubi. [10:00] coolforyou, In my case I've never a problem, I'm using Intezl ^^ [10:00] Intel FTW [10:00] ActionParsnip: it works fine as far as games and emulators go, and it moves the mouse around, but the layout is horrible and I'd like to change it [10:00] ActionParsnip: ok.. i have used wubi couple times, but now i cant get it to work.. [10:00] AwwwCrap: then I'd ask in the xbmc channel [10:00] kos , actually i was tying to learn red hat linux , but i felt ubuntu will be good to start [10:01] ActionParsnip: its a xorg problem, not an xbmc problem [10:01] but I'll give it a shot anyway [10:01] coolforyou, RHEL ?! [10:01] Or CentOS ? [10:01] RHEL are for entreprise, and it's not free of cost. [10:01] yes kos RHEL or centos [10:01] ^^ [10:01] CentOS are the same distribution with a name and a different logo, but completly free of cost. [10:02] Hey,wiki.ubuntu.com doesn't load up in chrome and loads up in firefox,and that was the same for a long time now,and in every ubuntu installation I had,any ideas? [10:02] coolforyou, Ubuntu / Debian have somes difference with RHEL / CentOS :) [10:02] AwwwCrap: if the joystick works in emulators and such then its an xbmc config, surely? [10:02] koshieFinalReliz,you can always try Fedora [10:02] coolforyou, My advice : Try Ubuntu if you really want to use it everyday, it's free, simple, powerfull. [10:02] koshieFinalReliz: it is, you just won't get support [10:02] yes kos . many told me debian is best for server [10:02] Its free,but its a kind of test place for RHEL [10:03] koshieFinalReliz: you can run RHL, maybe not RHEL ;) [10:03] knightstalker, it's good too, but a little bit updated for a new user. [10:03] RHL exist ? :o [10:03] koshieFinalReliz,yup :p [10:03] That's not RHEL [10:03] coolforyou, yes, better than Ubuntu IMHO [10:03] But Ubuntu can make a good server :) [10:03] yes action , i completly agree with you . i will not use RHEL and RHL . but will give a try to debian and centos [10:03] Ubuntu LTS can make a good server =) [10:03] so,no idea on my question? [10:04] even I'm using the http://pastie.org/2496275 as partition table in my preseed, I've the box asking me for the confirmation to apply disk layout, how can I avoid this ?

I have repeated the fix for 2.6.38-11 but I still have no sound [10:04] but i am comple noob in linux . so i wanted to start with ubuntu , it is good idea ? [10:04] coolforyou, Maybe we can speak in private ? Some people here seems to needs help and for you know it's just some details. [10:04] coolforyou: yes, a lot of stuff is managed for you [10:04] coolforyou,for a new user,Ubuntu is best [10:05] knightstalker, not in all case, you've Mandriva / Mageïa :) [10:05] thats fine action , knight and kos [10:05] coolforyou, you can complete automatically nickname, try kos and tab touch [10:06] !tab [10:06] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

I'm experiencing several troubles with unity's launchers so I'm wondering (haven't check launchpad yet but these problems are so obvious I can't believe they still apply): 1. If I search for an application and drag it to the launcher's bar, sometimes it works, sometimes it don't (more especially if I decided to remove and the place again the application in the launcher). 2. when a new launcher is added, sometimes new instances of [10:31] the application are bound to the launcher, sometimes they are not (hence, duplicated). 3. If I manually edit a .desktop, it automatically gets removed from the launcher (even if I do something as simple as change the icon path). [10:32] Is there any accessible config file I can check to see why everything is so messed up with my unity? [10:33] My X has gone mad display-wise. How do I recreate an X configuration from my HW?

I often see kernel updates which gives a red icon in gnome telling me to reboot due to an upgrade [10:41] ah. If there was a programming channel where it'll be possible to casually discuss of one's idea... that'll be ideal. Unfortunately no such thing exists. [10:41] in fact, the device has a confusing process of use in Windows! they should use integrated wireless modem in the laptop to find available network, then using an application called IBSDriver, the connection gets transferred to this external modem!!! this process seems rediculous in ubunu === Parall4x is now known as daParall4x === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [10:41] sveinse: the reboot insn't mandatory, it's just wanting to make you reboot to load the nwe kernel. Or do you have a package you are creating and want to add that feature? [10:42] taia: suprised it connects via usb, most use ethernet which is much more graceful [10:42] sveinse: Look at the source for the kernel package? [10:43] ActionParsnip, yeah, but this one is using USB :P I hate it when it comes to USB issues too :P [10:43] sveinse: Or: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/update-notifier [10:43] jpds: Excellent, thanks === jason is now known as Guest81298 [10:44] I'm running firefox and I can't get it to open .rar files with my archive manager by default or even optionally.

[10:47] mouse, sorry will do [10:47] solofight, first thing the command "sudo apt-get install update" will never work, it should be either "sudo apt-get update" or "sudo apt-get install packagename" [10:49] solofight, so what does "sudo apt-get update" say ? [10:49] glebihan, yeah mistake [10:49] glebihan, http://pastebin.com/jZsS8gCA [10:49] is there some .desktop entry I'm missing?

Internet connection is fine. [10:50] solofight, that's the same command, could you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update" (will probably be the same, but may be better to check anyway) [10:50] glebihan, the same error even when i correct the command [10:51] TheRandom: try a ping on the repository that gives you the resolving error. Then if it works, try to access it's packages directory from your browser. [10:51] ping'ing google gives an unknown host error. [10:51] I've ssh'd into it so I can't use the browser [10:52] glebihan, i read a post which said to remove the entire directory and try again so did this http://pastebin.com/imnLz4WY [10:52] but no good, eneded up with error [10:52] ended* [10:52] TheRandom: just by chance: what does ifconfig gives you for 127.0.0.1? [10:52] TheRandom: (do you have the lo interface enabled?) [10:53] error fetching interface information: device not found [10:53] TheRandom: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [10:53] Strav, unsure [10:53] TheRandom: that's your problem. [10:53] ActionParsnip, I can [10:53] solofight, try "sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*" then "sudo apt-get update" again [10:53] TheRandom: try: sudo ifconfig lo up [10:53] Strav, the network adaptor isn't being picked up? [10:54] strav, ran it, no output. [10:54] solofight: http://pastebin.com/pY1h7LNY [10:54] there's no output usually, but then ifconfig to see if it came back up [10:54] TheRandom: then if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf delete ALL text and add the line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 save the new file and close gedit, does the web work ok? [10:54] ActionParsnip, i need to execute all of those one by one ? [10:55] Several lines explaining network adaptors [10:55] solofight: yes [10:55] ActionParsnip, there was no text in the file, I've added the line. [10:55] Pinging google has found a host, and responds :) [10:56] TheRandom: should be ok, usually that file gets updated by network manager tpe apps (like network-manager and wicd) [10:56] apt-get install runs. [10:56] Should hope so, that's google's DNS ;) [10:56] TheRandom: cool, do you use GUI network apps? [10:56] ActionParsnip, no, not knowingly. [10:56] Onlyodin: I only use it because its easy to remember [10:56] Onlyodin, I realised after searching :P [10:56] ActionParsnip, so as I understand what occured. My nameserver wasn't available to the server? [10:56] hi, im dual-booting ubuntu with arch linux, ubuntu as the primary os. the problem is grub2 tells me that arch boot partition in in /dev/sda5 but actually it's in /dev/sda1. i tried update-grub and still grub got my arch partition wrong, can someone help? thanks [10:57] TheRandom: yep [10:57] Strav, thank's. [10:57] TheRandom: ok get fully updated and reboot, see if it stays. If not, we can take extra steps to make it be set each time. The combination of driver/nic and router are making your OS fail to get DNS settings via DHCP (probably some netgear rubbish) [10:57] How did you know ActionParsnip :P [10:57] TheRandom: so we need to work around it by setting the DNS servers manually [10:57] I'll set it to reboot [10:58] TheRandom: due to the lack of your loopback interface which got screwed [10:58] glebihan, same error [10:58] TheRandom: because you couldn't ping names (needs DNS) so I had you ping a known IP and it worked. Ergo, DNS is failing [10:58] will try ActionParsnip solution [10:58] solofight, did you run the commands ActionParsnip gave you ? [10:58] doing them as we speak [10:59] ActionParsnip, that makes alarming sense :P [10:59] TheRandom: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html shows how to set it in Ubuntu [10:59] ActionParsnip, whats the reason for such happening ? [10:59] As you forsaw ActionParsnip it has failed again. [10:59] bug in ubuntu ? [11:00] solofight: the apt thing? No idea. I only know the fix [11:00] ok [11:00] in process of executing the first command [11:00] ActionParsnip: why didn't he had any interfaces to begin with? (I didn't had this problem once or twice) [11:01] TheRandom: if you install dnsmasq and set the first dns server to 127.0.0.1 you can make name resoles take 0ms rather than ~30ms [11:01] I did had... [11:01] Strav: no idea, didn't see that bit. Just saw the ping stuff [11:02] TheRandom: you never know, updates may just make it work as it should, meaning you don't need to manually set stuff [11:02] ActionParsnip: installed dnsmasq. [11:02] ActionParsnip: It's interesting as lots of things seemed to fail overnight, ftp, ssh, DNS. [11:02] ActionParsnip: there were no changes on the server bar apt-get upgrade. [11:02] ActionParsnip: that doesnt make sense, wouldnt the dns server on localhost still have to ask a real dns for the ip if its not cached? [11:03] ActionParsnip: when I asked him to do an ifconfig... ah I see, he did ifconfig 127.0.0.1... [11:03] TheRandom: you need to tell dnsmasq to listen to 127.0.0.1 [11:03] damo22: initialy, yes but it learns the resolutions over time [11:03] ok [11:04] ActionParsnip, whats the syntax for that? -a --localhost? [11:04] I'm running firefox and I can't get it to open .rar files with my archive manager by default or even optionally. I've added file-roller manually but it only seems to be temporary since it still won't let archive manager be an option in the drop down menu. Does anyone have experience with this? [11:04] TheRandom: gksudo gedit /etc/dnsmasq.conf find listen-address= and change it to listen-address=127.0.0.1 [11:04] ActionParsnip: done. [11:04] does server RAM have anything to do with page loadings being slow? [11:05] TheRandom: after reboot it will apply, then you can change the DNS servers as teh google link I gave says, but set DNS to: 127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 [11:05] Kartagis, only if the RAM is full ;) [11:05] ActionParsnip: in resolv.conf? [11:05] TheRandom: yes but have each on it's own line [11:05] yup done that. Rebooting. [11:05] mouse: sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip-full unp [11:06] TheRandom: GL [11:06] Actionparsnip: what are those special addresses? [11:06] TheRandom: MemTotal: 1048800 kB [11:06] MemFree: 434544 kB [11:06] ActionParsnip, Thank you. [11:06] ActionParsnip, after finishing the commands present till line 8 i executed line 9 command and got the error http://pastebin.com/RX55FkcG [11:06] how to proceed ? [11:07] Kartagis, that sounds fine. HTTP page loads? [11:07] TheRandom: yep [11:07] ActionParsnip, no dice. Reboot gives me unknown host errors... [11:07] solofight: could disable the extras repo, or change server to the main server, or GB server [11:07] ActionParsnip: i just installed "sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip-full unp" and when i go to the file and rightclick open with unrar nothing happends at all.. :s [11:07] ActionParsnip, and the resolv.conf has been wiped clean. [11:07] ActionParsnip, how to do that ? [11:07] TheRandom: ok, use the guide I gave earlier. The network manager app will populate resolv.conf for you [11:08] ActionParsnip: also if i try to open any movie with VLC it doesn't play. [11:08] solofight: in software centre [11:08] !codecs | PoSV [11:08] PoSV: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:08] ActionParsnip, the google link? [11:08] ActionParsnip: not even about codec the file actually wont even open, it just sits the same with unrar.. [11:08] ActionParsnip: like nothing is opening at all :s [11:09] TheRandom: the one I gave earlier... [11:10] PoSV: run vlc from terminal, the output may help [11:10] test [11:10] PoSV: also try other players, like gnome-mplayer :) [11:10] ActionParsnip, I'm looking, but I can only see a link to code.google.com which doesn't include setting permenant nameservers. [11:10] TheRandom: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html [11:10] rrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! sfvoujb im getting poked [11:10] TheRandom: yes, that's what oyou need as yours aren't being set [11:10] ActionParsnip, "Additionally, if you are using DHCP client software that overwrites the settings in /etc/resolv.conf, you will need to set up the client accordingly by editing the client's configuration file." === html is now known as htmlinprogress [11:11] html, wrong channel [11:11] I set them in resolv.conf, and when I reboot it's been overwritten [11:11] ActionParsnip, removed ticks from all under other software tab, now again start from first command or just update command ? [11:11] bazhang, for what ? my name was at the end of every statment [11:12] TheRandom: yes, tht's why you need the guide, the GUI app you are using to configure networking (network manager is default in ubuntu) is overwriting the file, so you need that guide to tell it what to write to the file as it isn't being recieved by DHCP [11:12] I try to send files to my pc via blue tooth ,but nothing happens. What could the problem be [11:12] TheRandom: if it DID then the app would write whatever it recieved but it isn't so it blanks the file [11:12] TheRandom: that's why I gave the link. It explains how you can tell it the DNS servers. [11:12] jrib: thanks :) [11:12] ActionParsnip: gnome-mplayer play .flv/ [11:13] solofight: sure, after closing software centre as it will lock the packages [11:13] PoSV: yes [11:13] ActionParsnip, I'm a div I was looking under Debian, however I'm sshing into the server, so do you know how to do this via terminal? [11:14] TheRandom: not sure there. I think there is nm-cli but I've never used it. You could set it for now in resolv.conf manually and when you next physically attend the system (or can get someone else to) you can setup the app there [11:14] ActionParsnip, closed software center, and again gave sudo apt-get update and got this error http://pastebin.com/UADn2g83 [11:15] TheRandom: if you use a wired connection and nothing smart like VPN etc, you can remove network manager and use /etc/network/interfaces to setup addressing etc and then you can edit resolv.conf and it will not get blanked at boot [11:15] solofight: I'd try a little later (or try a different server again). Not sure there. Maybe others can advise [11:16] ActionParsnip, All the packages you've mentioned are installed and I restarted firefox and I still can't get it to use an archive manager by default or to even have an archive manager as an option in the drop down menu. [11:16] ActionParsnip: i just tried unrar l file.rar and it asks for a password; is that unrar asking for a password or the .rar? [11:17] solofight, doesn't look like you changed the mirror, did you ? [11:17] TheRandom: theres a guide on how to do it on the link ActionParsnip provided earlier... you have to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [11:17] PoSV: unrar is asking, .rar cant ;) [11:17] PoSV: the file is password protected [11:17] glebihan, i disabled all ticks from second tab. now i regognised ActionParsnip was talking about the option in 1st tab called server :( my bad [11:17] ActionParsnip: ffs, i don't remember hte password lol [11:18] mouse: not sure man, I don't use firefox [11:18] PoSV: looks like youre in trouble [11:18] glebihan, even after closing software center when i do a update on terminal it says locked [11:18] ActionParsnip, You use chromium? [11:18] all i have is chrome and firefox and this opened [11:19] mouse: chromium daily and Arora [11:19] solofight, once you've changed the mirror, start over with the commands ActionParsnip gave you [11:19] glebihan, ok [11:20] ActionParsnip, Well thanks anyways. [11:22] anyone familiar with ip-forwarding? [11:22] Bye! [11:22] hello. A problem with grep in SVN folders: when I do $ grep -R "bla" * --exclude="*.svn*" it ignores some of the .svn folders but not all. Does somebody else have the same experience and if so, why is that? It seems that ignores the .svn for the first folder grep get's in but not for all, or something like that. [11:25] ichbinder: maybe you should try --exclude-dir=PATTERN [11:25] ichbinder: I use this function instead. svngrep() { find . -name .svn -prune -o -type f -exec grep "$@" /dev/null {} +; } [11:25] ichbinder: find . \! \( -iname "*.svn" \) | xargs grep PATTERN [11:26] Stanley00: oh, damn it... thanks for no RTFM... :-/ [11:26] ichbinder: you are welcome ;) [11:27] thanks geirha and damo22. [11:27] ichbinder: To use it, remember to omit -r/-R. E.g.: svngrep -w my_func [11:29] damo22: That doesn't really do what ichbinder is asking. [11:30] Hello, I am a NOOB! Can some one please help me change permission settings [11:30] geirha, damo22: yeah... geirha: why not using the --exclude-dir option? [11:31] houdini: chmod is what you need then? [11:31] 11.04 using terminal how can i disable this "Lock screen + screensaver " ? [11:31] houdini: or, simply right-click on file/folder and look in tab permission. [11:32] ichbinder: That's a GNU grep option, I sometimes need to do that on non GNU systems. [11:32] <_kBz_> houdini: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [11:32] geirha: ah, ok. Thanks. :) [11:33] ichbinder: Though --exclude-dir=.svn should work afaik. [11:33] geirha: yeah, on my ubuntu, it's working just fine... it was just the small difference between --exclude and --exclude-dir [11:33] * smv *Free of charge engineering classes* - http://see.stanford.edu/ [11:34] glebihan, i changed to main server and entered the commands one by one and whe i do the update this error occurs http://pastebin.com/index/UADn2g83 [11:34] even I'm using the http://pastie.org/2496275 as partition table in my preseed, I've the box asking me for the confirmation to write change to disk, how can I avoid this ? Can anyone help on this ? :) [11:36] hostdream: the last line says confirm = true? [11:37] damo22 : the last line of my preseed is d-i partman/confirm boolean true [11:37] hostdream: perhaps it should be false? [11:38] hi, im trying to create a daemon, i can start it with start-stop-daemon, but i cannot stop it with start-stop-daemon, the daemon creates a pid file in /var/run/daemonfilename.pid, the file contains the daemon process id, what can be wrong o_O? [11:38] I thought it was the other way, we tell install to automatically confirm damo22 [11:38] damo22 : let me test again [11:38] Ahhh. [11:38] Anyone here framiliar with controlling fan speed? [11:38] hostdream: confirm = true means you want the system to ask a question imho [11:39] I have a hp D530 that has a incredible fan. I was working on tryint omake it not sounds like a jet engine. [11:39] And now I can't get it to slow down. :*( [11:39] damo22 : i will confirm you this in 5 min [11:40] ZenMaster: how did u adjust it the first time? [11:41] join #xbmc [11:41] damo22 : no, this is not working ... I did set it to "false" but I still have the popup asking for confirmation... [11:41] jamiewan: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control [11:42] how do you know if a process is detached from a terminal? [11:43] is there a command you can enter to find that out? [11:43] I was trying to raise thef an devisor because it is saying there is no rpms. [11:43] ZenMaster: yeah i'm not sure, i fiddled with lmsensors for my conky setup but thats it. Maybe a reboot or check BIOS for fan control options if that doesn't work [11:43] Or detecting zero. [11:43] hi, All directories of my home directory are appearing in my Desktop, haow can I get rid of them? If I remove the icon them the directory is also removed. Ubuntu 11.04 [11:43] pete-joh: ps -aux [11:44] ZenMaster: great, thats the output for detached processes? [11:44] zimbres: please pastebin ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [11:44] ZenMaster: what should i be looking for [11:44] pete-joh: ps -aux will show you all processes. [11:45] pete-joh: "jobs" will list the process your terminal is handling [11:45] pete-joh: For instance I would do something like #>ps -aux |more (So you can see about 25 procs at a time). [11:45] pete-joh: Or ps -aux |grep Gayporn (That would show you all procs with gay porn in the title). [11:46] ZenMaster: please choose more appropriate examples...

[11:47] anybody know how to make the unity launcher display running programs from the current workspace only? [11:48] jrib: yes, i have removed most default directories because I do not like to name that way. But the question is why my directorys are being diplayed on the Desktop screnn [11:49] zimbres: look ate the value for DESKTOP [11:49] people help i changed to main server and entered the commands one by one and whe i do the update this error occurs http://pastebin.com/index/UADn2g83 [11:50] jrib: ok, I will edit the file, I did not know it [11:51] where do you see where the linkspeed of a nic is in Ubuntu 11? [11:51] jrib: Can I just remove lines I do not want? [11:52] zimbres: you probably don't want to do that as programs will often ask things like "where is the directory for videos?" and XDG_VIDEOS_DIR will be the answer it receives. Just set some values you prefer [11:53] zimbres: you can make the value whatever you want (as long as you enter it in the format described in the formats at the top of the file) [11:53] Can anyone tell me what is wrong in my preseed disk layout http://pastie.org/2496275 that doing a popup appearing during the install process and asking me if I'm ok to write to disk ? I really want to avoid that... :) [11:54] jrib: ok, but anyway I do not need a template directory for example [11:54] jrib: or a publicshare dir [11:55] can someone tell me if the example under the NameVirtualHost is correct for vhosts in apache? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-create-name-based-and-ip-based-virtual-hosts-in-apache.html [11:55] zimbres: I do not know what the effect of just deleting the value is (it may be restored or it may not) [11:55] shouldn't it be enclosed or something to separate vhost entries? [11:55] zimbres: if it's restored, it's probably restored according to: /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults [11:56] How do I minimize all windown to have a view of my Desktop on Unity. on later version there was a button on the botton left side of the screen.

[12:02] pete-joh: I am not familiar with start-stop-daemon [12:02] pete-joh: I would start by investigating how start-stop-daemon tries to stop the process... and seeing how the process responds to different signals [12:02] jrib: its the function that /etc/init.d/scripts call when they start and stop daemons [12:03] jrib: yea, i can stop the daemon by sending kill TERM, the daemon listens to that kill signal [12:03] jrib: but i have no idea about the internal functions in start-stop-daemon [12:04] pete-joh: I would read start-stop-daemon documentation and source code at this point [12:04] jrib: also, i cannot use 'pgrep to list the daemon' [12:04] jrib: i fear that the daemon isnt completely daemonized [12:06] hola [12:06] ya regrese [12:08] hi can anyone help me configure my DHCP server on my UBUNTU server with a static IP so it distributes IPs? === IamTrying is now known as LearnUbuntu [12:09] cual es el canal en español???

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:12] ActionParsnip, where can I do this? [12:13] i want to install ubuntu side by side with my windows 7 [12:13] when i first tried to load it with my usb, i could select the install side by side option and I chose it [12:13] is it possible to pipe the output of ls into a text file thats in someone elses home directory ? [12:13] i tried with sudo, and it wont let me do that either [12:14] don-i, only if you have write access to it. [12:14] however it was isntalling and I got an error and it returned me to the selection menu but this time there was only 2 options left. either delete windows 7 or other options [12:14] don-i: command | sudo tee file [12:14] nicofs_: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1" save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo update-grub reboot to test. You could have EASILY found that out yourself using websearches, leaving me free to help otehrs. [12:14] don-i, fyi if you are using an actual pipe "|", sudo can't... see jrib above [12:14] i rebooted severtimes and it was still the same [12:14] several [12:15] is there anyway i can install side by side :(? [12:15] Does anyone know how to setup access to GoogleTalk from pidgin on ubuntu, I get "404 Remote server not found" whenever i query the GoogleTalk user directory? [12:16] alphonso89, Did you have an empty partition? such as D, E etc. in Windows? [12:16] ActionParsnip, the disabling thing or that ipv6 is the issue? [12:16] nah i only have 2 partition. 1 with windows inside and another 1 with backup recovery [12:16] nicofs_: the disabling thing [12:16] RealAndy: http://www.rakshitk.com/blog/2008/01/26/how-to-configure-pidgin-to-work-with-google-talk/ [12:16] jrib, brilliant [12:17] Hyperbyte, zykotick9, jrib thanks [12:17] i should see what 'tee' does..never used that before [12:17] alphonso89, L didn't install Uvbuntu side by side with Win 7 but did it side by side with XP on my brother-in-law's machine. There was no problem. [12:17] don-i: other way is to do « sudo -i » (you get a root prompt), redirect output from ls like you normally would using '>', then exiting once you are done [12:18] ActionParsnip: thanks [12:18] yea there shouldnt be any problem [12:18] i mean ive installed it several times before on this laptop as well [12:18] side by side windows 7 but it was ubuntu 10.04 and this time im using ubuntu 11.10 beta [12:18] alphonso89, Did you have an empty partition other than where Win is installed (typically C)? [12:19] marenostrum, nope. i only have 1 with windows 7 inside and another 1 with backup recovery [12:19] jrib, good to know ! [12:20] help!!!! I've had my server working fine for a few weeks, nothing has changed at all, but now when I "sudo" a command it tells me my username is not in the sudoers list!!!! I can't administer my computer!!!!!!! [12:20] alphonso89, I am not an expert on dual booting (installing side by side) but as far as I know, the first point is to prepare an empty partion. [12:21] alphonso89, Most probably, Ubuntu did what you said because it coludn't see an empty partition. [12:21] The_Rufus: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root, then run: usermod -a -G admin foo change foo to your username, reboot and the foo user can use sudo etc [12:21] mareno, okay but i just want to know if i did anything wrong. [12:22] mareno, i was able to install side by side before :( [12:22] Dice-Man: !vns | supercilious [12:22] Dice-Man: !vnc | supercilious [12:22] lol [12:22] alphonso89: Win7 can resize it's own partitions, you can then boot the Ubuntu CD and install to the new free space [12:22] alphonso89: I recommend ou [12:23] you* [12:23] quick question, need to install apache 2.2.20, found it here http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/319714, how can i install that using apt-get? [12:23] alphonso89: you run a FULL backup in case of catastrophe [12:23] release: lucid [12:23] actionparsnip, you are saying that i resize it inside windows then i install ubuntu? [12:23] alphonso89: yes, Win7 can resize it's own NTFS partition [12:23] actionparsnip, can windows do dynamic partition as well? [12:23] alphonso89: the free space can be then used to install Ubuntu to [12:23] alphonso89, On Win 7, I believe its easy yo create new partitions. Create one and delete all inside it and try to install Ubuntu side by side. (As I said, I'm not an expert on this issue.) [12:23] actionparsnip, yea i already backed up. thanks [12:24] alphonso89: that I am not sure of. I just know it can shrink stuff === jef91 is now known as Jef91|AFK [12:24] !afk > Jef91|AFK [12:24] Jef91|AFK, please see my private message [12:24] actionparsnip, okay thanks guys. i think that should be the only way :( [12:24] alphonso89: it's the way I'd do it. But then again I don't use crappy Windows [12:24] ActionParsnip, When win7 resizes/shrinks it's own partition, does it also defragment? [12:24] Sidewinder1: no idea. More than likely ;) [12:25] hola ,cual es el canal en español??? [12:25] alphonso89, If you have backup, its nice, don't worry and resize and create a new partition. Do this from Windows OS, I'd say. Then go on as usual. [12:25] !es > uno1 [12:25] uno1, please see my private message [12:25] ActionParsnip, Should and win, shouldn't be used in the same sentence? === user_ is now known as LeDieu === LeDieu is now known as Giac0m0 [12:26] :-) [12:26] okay thanks guys. i will try. :) i use windows for gaming? because most games are there only [12:26] hahaha [12:26] Sidewinder1: BAM [12:26] Can anyone tell me what is wrong in my preseed disk layout http://pastie.org/2496275 that doing a popup appearing during the install process and asking me if I'm ok to write to disk ? I really want to avoid that... :) [12:27] alphonso89, Just in case, defrag your C:\ prior to shrinking/resizing. [12:27] sidewinder, okay. does that affect it? [12:27] I have no sound after doing some updates and a reboot in Ubuntu. have tried the fix here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/166005 which worked last time this happened, but hasn't worked this time. ppa:team-iquik/alsa seems to have vanished. [12:27] report here http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=087b7cbe3383b329e9561e5c8323f0a5d017dc49 [12:27] alphonso89, And as usual, check your installation media against defects. At least check if its working well as a live media (CD or USB stick). [12:28] okay. i will do that [12:28] hi can anybody tell me how install a pc game iso image file [12:28] ne2k: is the correct sound device selected as the output device? [12:28] alphonso89, Good luck! I believe that there won't be a trouble. [12:28] ActionParsnip: yes [12:28] alphonso89, It can't hurt; and if win7 doesn't automayically do it, when resizing, you'll save yourself a multitude of problems. [12:28] ne2k: if you run; alsamixer are all leverls unmuted and cranked? [12:28] ActionParsnip: pavucontrol shows the meter going up and down but no sound comes out [12:29] ne2k: is it a laptop? [12:29] ActionParsnip: no, desktop [12:29] ne2k: speakers powered and connected and volume up? [12:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1840020 [12:30] Sidewinder1, he says he uses it for games. Some of my relatives dual boot too and they use that OS for games as well. [12:30] thanks guys. okay. [12:30] trying to install apache ver >= 2.2.18.. any suggestions [12:30] ActionParsnip: I am not a complete idiot, btw, I have checked all of these things. the problem occurred after upgrading the kernel, and, as I said, I have had this problem once before (where alsa driver and alsautils were out of sync), and last time, upgrading fixed it, but this time, it has not [12:30] yea i defrag it everynow and then. i would like to use ubuntu for gaming but most games are on windows [12:31] ne2k: I can't assume that so I start with the basic stuff. [12:31] Is there already a ubuntu implemetation of the sandbox that you can find in Fedora en RHEL? [12:31] marenostrum, Even though I rarely 'game', I'm ashamed to admit that I still dual-boot; since 2007. :-( [12:31] rizzo__: troubles? [12:31] ne2k: ok try the natty command at this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [12:31] sidewinder if you dont dual boot for gafmes then what? [12:31] Giac0m0: found a package but not repo https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/apache2/2.2.20-1ubuntu1 [12:32] rizzo__: that's for oneiric [12:32] Sidewinder1, I can't say anything more after this confession! :)) [12:32] mareno hahahahah [12:32] rizzo__: Why do you need a newer version of apache2? [12:32] Pici: lame pci compliance [12:33] how can i install the oneiric one, or better yet is there a lucid one? [12:33] rizzo__: mixing debs between releases is not advised or supported. I suggest you upgrade to oneiric (or find a 3rd party PPA) [12:33] !ppa | rizzo__ [12:33] rizzo__: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa [12:33] Hi. I'm in ubuntu, but some applications, like firefox are using dolphin instead of nautilus (I got dolphin when I installed digikam). How can I change back to nautilus= [12:33] ? [12:33] ActionParsnip: upgrading to Oneiric sounds like a better option, no? [12:34] its beta? [12:34] ActionParsnip: the one I used before (linked in that launchpad URL) had a team-iquik/alsa ppa, which now seems to have vanished [12:34] rizzo__, yes, beta [12:34] rizzo__: PCI compliance shouldn't require you to have a specific version. The apache2 packages in the repositories have been patched against CVE-2011-3192, if thats what you're worried about. [12:34] rizzo__: its more trustworthy as PPAs are compiled / maintained by random folks from the community. Oneiric is currently beta, yes [12:35] ActionParsnip: btw, I already have checked that my driver, library and utilities are synched. all on 1.0.24.x [12:35] marenostrum, No worries; I beat myself up enough for both of us. :-) [12:35] :) [12:36] Pici: they are complaining about CVE-2011-0419 [12:36] ne2k: the iquick ppa only supports up to Lucid [12:36] ne2k: the command does a bit more than the driver install [12:36] rizzo__: already been patched as well, see: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-0419.html [12:38] luc__, see "/msg ubottu iso" and "/msg ubottu wine". Good luck. [12:39] Hi there! Is there anybody who experienced a problem to connect to a router? I got a new router from my ISP and whatever I did, I could not gain IP address from the router. (Nor wired neither wireless.) The router is a Zyxel P2601HN-F1. [12:39] ActionParsnip: to be honest, I'm pretty sure the steps I've done before have done all of that, but I will reboot and try again [12:39] Pici: thanks alot. i going to talk with my scanner [12:40] rizzo__, Oneiric is not only Beta now but Beta 1. There will be a Beta 2 on 22 September I think and then the stable.

[12:44] cillo564: upgrading from LTS to LTS is supported, so its not too hard [12:44] cillo564: but with EVERY upgrade, you run the risk of things breaking [12:44] cillo564, and it'll take time too [12:45] TheEvilPhoenix, asdjaputra ok thanks [12:45] !dvd > TheEvilPhoenix [12:45] TheEvilPhoenix, please see my private message [12:45] zykotick9: thanks much [12:46] trying to set up openssh [12:46] G'Day all [12:46] it's not working because when i try ssh-keygen -t ecdsa... it says type not recognized [12:47] Mornin' BluesKaj [12:47] hey Sidewinder1 [12:47] G'day.. australian? [12:47] TheEvilPhoenix, in short, you could install libdvdread4 then run the required script --- alternatively, add the medibuntu repo and install libdvdcss2 [results are the same] [12:48] ActionParsnip: right, I've rebooted, and I still have no sound [12:48] asdjaputra, Canuckian :) [12:48] zykotick9: that's what i'm doing now [12:48] the first one [12:48] thanks [12:48] How do I make apt-get or aptitude tell what files does pkg X own? [12:48] BluesKaj, no idea what's that sorry :) [12:48] BluesKaj, oh canadian? [12:48] mc89__: ecdsa isn't a recognized type. use dsa or rsa for protocol version 2. [12:48] asdjaputra, nick for Canadian [12:49] ne2k: which sound device do you use, you have 3 listed in the alsa-info script output... [12:49] BluesKaj, i see [12:50] hello, I have a problem with ubuntu 11.04 "black screen with cursor after fresh install". I have tried to google it, but the only way for me to get into Ubuntu is to insert LinuxMint install CD and choose "Boot from harddrive" [12:50] asdjaputra, Indonesia ?

[12:50] BluesKaj, yes [12:51] hallgeirg: boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2 on your internal drive === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [12:51] hallgeirg: why not use your ubuntu liveCD to boot with? [12:51] ActionParsnip: the VIA one [12:52] Action: reinstate grub2? cause i can only choose try ubuntu or install ubuntu on ubuntu liveCD [12:52] ne2k: I'm guessing your video card has HDMI with HDMI audio. Is that right? [12:52] ActionParsnip: yes, correct. [12:52] ActionParsnip: I'm not using that [12:52] Pici, then how do i use openssh with the 2 you mentioned [12:52] hallgeirg: choose try, then you can use the terminal to install grub [12:52] hallgeirg: you can do it in a chroot in the live desktop [12:52] I have tried to edit /etc/default/grub [12:52] ne2k: just clarifying. hmm, let me see [12:53] ActionParsnip: if I mute and unmute the "internal audio analogue stereo" in pavucontrol output devices, I hear pops in both ears of my headphones, so the physical hardware is obviously working [12:53] hallgeirg: Did you then run sudo update-grub (after editing the file?) [12:53] hallgeirg: it's not just that [12:53] edbian: yes [12:53] guys, i somehow screwed up with the default cursor theme available with ubuntu, how can i get it back? where to install it from? [12:53] hallgeirg: What are you trying to fix? [12:53] mc89__: ssh-keygen -t dsa , ssh itself will find the key automagically [12:54] hallgeirg: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html [12:54] when i reboot my box i get the bios screen, then a black screen with cursor, and nothing more [12:54] hallgeirg: can you boot from a CD? === cereal|Away is now known as cereal [12:55] Is there already a ubuntu implemetation of the sandbox that you can find in Fedora en RHEL? [12:55] ne2k: yes [12:55] hallgeirg: what you report suggests a corrupt MBR [12:55] what is mbr? [12:55] hallgeirg: I think grub is installed. Can you press shift during boot and see a menu about which OS to boot? (press shift several times after the bios post) [12:55] hallgeirg: MBR is the master boot record. It is the area of the harddrive where a small program sits that tells the bios where the OS's are on the hdd [12:56] edebia: i tried holding shift but only black screen [12:56] (did not press multiple times) [12:56] how can I "customize" the name of "desktop" folder? [12:56] hallgeirg, holding the shift works too [12:56] hallgeirg: You only have to press it once to activate the menu but knowing precisely what moment to press it is tricky so I usually press it a whole bunch [12:57] but i got to boot it after using Linux mint live cd [12:57] hallgeirg: If you didn't have grub installed you'd get a screen that says 'No OS found' or similar [12:57] pzn: try looking in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [12:57] so i am in ubuntu now [12:57] Pici: openssh is still looking for the ecdsa key [12:57] hallgeirg: Can you elaborate on how you did that? [12:57] hallgeirg: How did a linux mint live CD help you boot your installed OS? [12:57] mc89__: Can you show me what command you are trying to run? [12:58] ne2k: I can't see anything amiss, all I can recommend is under sound properties change the output device to something else, then back to what it should be. My sound fixing ability is limited [12:58] edebian: i booted with LinuxMint live cd, till it said booting in 10 sec [12:58] hallgeirg: So you're running linux mint then [12:58] ActionParsnip: done all that. thanks for your help [12:58] then pressed a key and choose boot from disk [12:58] ne2k: maybe others can chip in [12:58] hallgeirg: I see! [12:58] hallgeirg: the guide I gave should help [12:58] I'm testing oneiric beta1 and I need to grab the source for a particular package. What deb-src URL should I use (in /etc/apt/sources.list) for this? Thanks. [12:58] edebian: no, it booted my freshly installed ubuntu [12:58] hallgeirg: Are you running the mint liveCD right now?

[13:00] hallgeirg: paste.ubuntu.com [13:00] hallgeirg: It's what you use to show me a lot of text [13:00] hi, if i use nautilus to copy mp3 files onto my mp3-player, the file-properties (album-name etc.) get lost, so the player can't play the files. does anyone have got a solution? [13:00] hallgeirg: do NOT paste it here in the channel [13:00] ofc [13:01] mc89__: Uh. Why does it look like you are running a custom install of openssh? Is there a reason you aren't using the packaged version in the repositories?

[13:02] hallgeirg: you have a lot of hdds [13:02] Pici i used ipkg [13:02] valthyx, did you try it? [13:02] mc89__: ipkg? What is ipkg?

[13:02] hallgeirg: This mounts the ubuntu install into the /mnt folder in the live CD [13:03] Pici, no i just realised the thing im working on isn't ubuntu [13:03] but my desktop is [13:03] it's a qnap nas [13:03] mc89__: I'm afraid we can't help you with that then. Sorry.

No error reported. [13:06] hallgeirg: That installs grub to the ssd and tells grub where to put it's extra files [13:06] hallgeirg: awesome :) try to reboot and see if it works [13:06] hallgeirg: It may be the fact that it's an SSD but it shouldn't matter [13:06] edbian: thank you so much.. brb [13:07] ne2k, open alsamixer in the terminal , make sure the headphone ctrl isn't muted , F5 will show all ctrls and make sure auto mute is turned off , if so equipped.

[13:08] BluesKaj: done all that [13:08] BluesKaj: I'm convinced that everything is in place as it was before it stopped working [13:09] BluesKaj: I had this exact same problem a few weeks ago, and that time, upgrading the driver to the -dev ppa one fixed it, but this time, it's not working [13:09] Pici, fantastic. exactly what I was looking for. thanks again. [13:11] so after freaking out about the pci scan results, i installed packeges from another distro of ubuntu and ppa, for apache and php, how to i get them back to the orignal , i went head and edited my sources.lst and ran apt-get update, what else do i have to do [13:12] hm [13:12] edbian: you there still? [13:12] ne2k, I get chastised sometimes for suggesting this but pulseaudio can be the problem in a lot of cases , therefore I don't use or need it . Either install pavucontrol and paprefs , or remove pulseaudio and use alsa as your audio ctrl system instead. With pulseaudio it's all or nothing in some cases. [13:13] BluesKaj: I already have pavucontrol [13:14] ne2k, well then , it's your decision whether to keep fiddling with pulseaudio or .... [13:14] BluesKaj: the problem is not with pulseaudio, the problem is with alsa [13:16] ne2k, I have no problems with alsa , but with pulseaudio I have nothing but problems . [13:16] BluesKaj: can I just apt-get remove pulseaudio? [13:17] ne2k, pulseaudio is basically redundant [13:17] ne2k, yes , but you'll need to reboot [13:17] in ubuntu, when i type "arp -a", will it show all the hosts in the network? assuming that host isolation is disabled [13:19] valthyx: no, only entries for which an arp entry is cached. [13:19] BluesKaj: I've done alsa force-reload and I got lots of pops and clicks, and banshee reports it's playing, but I still get no sound [13:19] ne2k [13:19] is your cable [13:19] plugged into the right output [13:20] i know it sounds ridiculous and you've probably already checked [13:20] robinsmidsrod: seriously, I'm not an idiot [13:20] sipior, is there any way to check who are connected to the network? [13:20] ne2k: neither is anyone else who have found that to be the case when they *actually* checked [13:20] ne2k, I dont think he meant it that way [13:20] could be anything from faulty cable to incorrect hole [13:20] robinsmidsrod: as I said, when I mute and unmute the headphones in pavucontrol (before I removed pulseaudio), I got clicks in the headphones. therefore the headphones are plugged into the right socket [13:21] robinduckett: I have ruled out all of those things [13:21] ne2k: I get that when my headphones are plugged into the mic. [13:21] even I'm using the http://pastie.org/2496275 as partition table in my preseed, I've the box asking me for the confirmation to write change to disk, how can I avoid this ? Can anyone help on this ? :) [13:21] i don't get clicks when it's in the right hole [13:21] ne2k, which audio card is th is?

[13:21] valthyx: nmap is useful for exploring your network surroundings. [13:22] ne2k, reboot, force reload alsa means nothing , you need to rid the system of the pulseaudio default config settings [13:22] hello [13:22] BluesKaj: ok. reboot YET AGAIN, here we come [13:22] ne2k [13:22] cause it did not work, but now I got the error message "file not found" and something called "grub rescue" [13:22] unplug all your shit [13:22] and plug it back in [13:22] robinduckett: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I have a fresh ubuntu install, but every time I boot I get the biso screen, then a black screen with cursor and nothing more. I manage to get into ubuntu with inserting a LinuxMint liveCD and cancel their boot and choose "boot from harddrive" I have tried to google this problem, but to no solution. It seems my install has failed to get grub to work. Please help.

[13:30] coz_: how do i open it then? :S [13:30] snufft: nautilus is the default file manager in Ubuntu. [13:30] snufft, open the home directory [13:30] snufft, or in terminal sudo -i then type nautilus [13:30] BluesKaj: it's trying to use pulse [13:30] if it's the default manager, there's no 'open as admin' option or the like :( [13:31] snufft, there should be in nautilus ,, [13:31] ne2k, remove pulseaudio-utils [13:31] unless it requires an extra script [13:31] Hello! I try to grant access to some folder to SAMBA but dont really know how to do that. Someone could help? === Grepsd||BNC is now known as Grepsd|BNC [13:31] BluesKaj: I thought I had looked for all packages with pulseaudio in the name and only found pulseaudio [13:31] coz_: does nautilus do that default or does he need to install nautilus-gksu ? [13:31] I did dpkg -l |grep pulseaudio and only pulseaudio came up. I think, anyway ! [13:32] anyway, removed that now [13:32] BluesKaj: vlc is still trying to use pulse [13:32] even using sudio -i nautilus, there's nothing in right click. must be another script? [13:32] IdleOne, that's what I was wondering ,, I cant tell for sure because of my "mint" experiment here which handles it slightly differently,, need to reinstall ubuntu to be sure :( === becool is now known as BECOOL [13:33] deepfear [13:33] snufft: if you want to open something as admin [13:33] do something like [13:33] snufft: install nautilus-gksu from Software Center or sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu [13:33] /msg NickServ identify deepfear [13:33] gksu gedit thefileyouwant.php or so [13:33] ah, vlc-plugin-pulse needed to be removed [13:33] ok, ill try once more. I have a fresh ubuntu install, but every time I boot I get the biso screen, then a black screen with cursor and nothing more. I manage to get into ubuntu with inserting a LinuxMint liveCD and cancel their boot and choose "boot from harddrive" I have tried to google this problem, but to no solution. It seems my install has failed to get grub to work. Please help. [13:33] /msg becool identify deepfear [13:33] snufft: you will need to log out and back in for it to take effect [13:33] becool [13:33] IdleOne, I believe that it's default; at least I don't remember having to do a separate gksudo install. 10.04. === BECOOL is now known as becool [13:34] BluesKaj: ok, no pulse error in vlc now, still no sound [13:34] robinduckett: the only problem is that i need to edit a lot of different files, sudo each time becomes a bit of a pain :( [13:34] IdleOne: i'll give it a hit. cheers :) [13:34] Sidewinder1: using Daulphin here so I can't check [13:34] err Dolphin [13:34] :) [13:35] BluesKaj: this really does seem like a red herring to me, btw. there is no problem with pulseaudio generally speaking [13:35] snufft: or you could just add your user to the group like I said in #drupal :P [13:35] and there is no reason to think that pulseaudio is the source of the issue [13:35] then do a chmod gu+rw [13:35] or even a chmod 777 if it's on your local machine [13:35] robinduckett: i have added myself to the group? [13:36] IdleOne: it's already at the latest verision apparently [13:36] snufft: if you add a user to a group it only becomes active at next login [13:36] hi guys, trying to unzip a file on the terminal [13:36] snufft: beats me. [13:36] why doesnt, gzip -d file.zip work? [13:36] alright. logout/in in progress! [13:36] !zip [13:36] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [13:36] pr0ton: because gzip is for gzip, not for zip? [13:36] coz_, on *terminal* [13:37] pr0ton: for a zip file, you want unzip [13:37] pr0ton: funnily enough [13:37] ne2k, ok, read manpages [13:37] and unzip [13:37] pr0ton, maybe check here s://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [13:37] ne2k, rm -r ~/.pulse* [13:38] i think unrar handles most of those [13:38] pr0ton, unzip .zip [13:39] hey guys [13:39] BluesKaj: this is just utterly insane. I don't see why it should just suddenly stop working. I don't believe pulseaudio has anything to do with it and I actually don't mind pulseaudio, and would rather leave as much stuff unfiddled with as possible [13:39] ne2k, not a redherring pulseaudio is merely a soundserver for alsa , it's redundant unless you want to run several sound sources at once [13:39] hmmmm, is there a way to go into edit mode from within gedit then? [13:39] BluesKaj: well of course I do! [13:39] BluesKaj: it's a flaming desktop computer [13:39] alguien sabe cual es el servidor de terra?... [13:39] ne2k: did you [13:39] check the holes? ;) [13:40] snufft, gksudo gedit; but BE CAREFUL! [13:40] robinduckett: I checked the holes [13:40] I jest, of course.

[13:41] gksudo is for running GUI apps with sudo privs [13:42] ahhh. cheers IdleOne :) [13:42] !gksudo | snufft [13:42] snufft: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [13:42] thanks Sidewinder1, reading now :) [13:43] ne2k, well for your info this pc is also a desktop pc, which is used as a media server for our home theater system and we find no need for pulseaudio, but if you must then reinstall it ...there's nothing sropping you from doing so. [13:43] snufft, My pleasure. [13:44] BluesKaj: indeed. I just wish this old "X is broken, let's not fix X, let's remove X and install Y and then spend five days dicking around with it" model of linux support would eventually go away [13:44] <[unf]> I had ubuntu installed as my primary os, then I installed windows 7... I never deleted the ubuntu partition I created a new one for the windows os... how can I access the linux partition and boot into it again? I don't get any boot options when the computer starts...

[14:04] thedangler: maybe you should double-check that, make sure you set-up the BIOS correctly, and/or the cd is bootable... [14:04] Stanley00, Many thanks; that's what I suspected; bot since they're video files and the "MB" matches, I don't have much to worry about. :-) [14:05] but, even.

[14:10] Nope?? [14:10] rj175 are you trying to rename all files that match a bitrate or rename files to include their bitrate in the filename [14:11] i'm having a lot of issues with ubuntu, such as (sometimes) flickering drop-down menus, the whole screen flickers if i run a game in fullscreen and something shows up. can these problems be graphics card related? using ATI so.. [14:11] Guest71784, also & disown next time should completely detatch the process [14:12] poko1oko: did you try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade?

I'm currently running 11.04 on a Dell Optiplex 780, and Ubuntu won't restart or shutdown my box. It has always been like this, going back several years of release. It will finally say in red, "restarting system", but that's it. It just sits there. Any suggestions? [14:15] mocramis: try looking in arp command, I didnt use that before, but it did [14:16] Stanley00, thanks. [14:16] I'm sure a lot of you guys use Chromium Browser.

I use the classic option at the login. I hope it'll still be there next distro [15:26] use xubuntu [15:26] Pici: it is not as i was told by the person it would rather like to use unity [15:26] its not there i had the beta on 11.10 and its gone [15:26] !ot [15:26] eto-maslo: do you know you can use the classic (gnome) interface?

If I log into unity all I see is the wallpaper the menu bar nor panel load up my guess this config file is corrupt [15:27] aago1254: Please keep in mind that #ubuntu is for support only. Discussion is in #ubuntu-offtopic and 11.10 in #ubuntu+1 [15:27] DaVampsWin: not a virtual machine, native boot, is that possible? [15:28] ahh okay ill take off [15:28] hi, when i use nautilus to copy mp3-files from hard drive to my mp3 player, all the properties of the files get lost. what can i do to keep them? [15:29] is there a difference between using gpg and gpg2 with mutt? [15:29] anyone know if there is a alternative to WINE [15:29] anyone using gpg2 with mutt? [15:29] okay let's hope i sorted it out thanks [15:30] Poridge : ahh i thougth you were talkin VMs [15:30] klingelbart: that's very odd, never seen it. that would mean it would selectively alter the files, are you sure it's not your mp3-player removing the data? [15:30] klingelbart: do you mean the id3 tag? [15:30] ActionParsnip: yes [15:31] DaVampsWin, crossover office, cegia but most wine on linux are use wine as the base [15:31] I've just set my swap to be encrypted using ecryptfs-setup-swap. I noticed it used the device name to refer to the swap partition. Can it use the UUID instead? And would that be a good idea? [15:31] JCook : so they are just forking WINE [15:32] ActionParsnip: any ideas? [15:32] klingelbart: not sure, I'd contact the manufacturer personally [15:32] klingelbart: are you saftely disconnecting the device after copying the data? [15:33] klingelbart: And does this happen in Ubuntu only? [15:33] ActionParsnip: i don't disconnect the device at all. just copy and then look at the copied files in nautilus => no id3 tag left [15:33] sattu94: in win7 it is no problem [15:34] klingelbart: try copying them through the cp command with the -v option ? [15:34] klingelbart: what does the display say say for the files after you fully disconnect [15:35] is it possible to install ubuntu to a virtual disk and boot entirely from that? kind of like windows and its support for native .vhd booting?

[15:35] ActionParsnip album: unknown; year of release: unknown an so on [15:36] klingelbart: i'd ask the manufacturers [15:37] is there a difference between using gpg and gpg2 with mutt?

[16:17] is there an official way to install gnome3? [16:17] expiation: upgrade to oneiric [16:17] !gnome3 | expiation [16:17] expiation: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely.

[16:18] what is the git equivilent of CVS update? [16:18] that sounds bad, ActionParsnip is your way safe? and how do i do that :D [16:18] !world domination [16:19] expiation: officially it's not safe as Oneiric is in Beta [16:19] what's the meaning of this small blue trinangle wich sometimes appears in the upper left of the screen? [16:19] klingelbart: which DE? [16:19] ahh [16:19] ActionParsnip: unity [16:19] Hello, has anyone been able to get Netflix working on Ubuntu? [16:19] Action : what exactly is Oneiric? [16:19] well im brave enough to try that, ActionParsnip is it possible to upgrade a current install to that or do I need to DL/re-install with it? [16:19] hello everyone! [16:19] Vampy: use tab to complete nicks ;) [16:19] Vampy: oneiric is Ubuntu 11.10 [16:20] Vampy: it the next ubuntu release [16:20] Hey guys, I'm having an issue with sound. I don't have sound for startup or media, but youtube and ZSNES work [16:20] expiation: you can upgrade natty to oneiric [16:20] ActionParsnip : awww.. ok [16:20] can anyone point me to a decent tutorial which covers how to register on xchat?

[16:21] expiation: I highly suggest not using the beta if you are still new to Ubuntu. [16:21] What else can she do? [16:21] adam_, a cold dark lonely place but I hear that is marriage. :D [16:21] expiation: you can ask that in #ubuntu+1 [16:21] !usage | adam_ [16:21] adam_: Hi!

[16:21] adam_: lots [16:22] thanks ActionParsnip [16:22] WOW! [16:22] quit [16:22] I think she is a he. [16:22] quit [16:23] BrandonBolton: I'm a noob, how do I try it? [16:23] hello? [16:23] Hi :) [16:23] !Alsa [16:23] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [16:24] !gender | adam_ [16:24] adam_: yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [16:24] Haha. [16:24] !alsa [16:24] She's awesome.

[16:24] ok so if i searched for KDE, Gnome, CDE, or other DE's in the package manager they will give me th most recent versions, correct [16:24] Oh, derp [16:24] ty [16:25] Vampy: the most recent in the repos you hav, ye [16:25] !msgthebot [16:25] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [16:25] ActionParsnip, ty [16:25] I insatlled linux without BOOTLOADER on pendrive. Now want to install bootloader on it and an entry for that OS. How to do so? [16:25] Matty502: Just go to the Ubuntu Software Center and search for Alsa. [16:26] ActionParsnip, any way to select all options / checkmarks from searched results [16:26] gulzar: boot livecd or live usb and you can install grub2 to it there [16:26] Vampy: I don't understand the question, can you rephrase please [16:26] [16:26] I just typed in "sound" in the applications menu, clicked to open it, and got a popup telling me that it's waiting for Sound System to respond [16:26] ActionParsnip: I am on LIVE ubuntu 10.10 cd [16:26] That has some serious implications, I'd think [16:26] gulzar: Just create it with Unetbootin. It creates the bootloader for you. The drive just has to be formatted to Fat32. [16:27] Vampy: do you mean select to install all the results from a search in software centre? [16:27] ActionParsnip, I want to make sure i get everything for the newest version, how would i do that [16:27] [16:27] ActionParsnip, yes [16:27] BrandonBolton: i did proper install .. no unetbootin [16:27] gulzar: cool, you can do it there :) [16:27] ActionParsnip [16:27] So I've got a mac formatted iPod nano, 2nd gen. I want to be able to mange all my music on my computer, as all my music/photos on my ipod atm are on my mum's mac, which is running outta space. However, when I plug it into my computer (32bit natty) I get this error: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/9jm9p0x8/Untitledwindow_007.png ActionParsnip suggested installing ifuse, which I did, but it hasn't made a differance. Any ideas? I need to manange my music/ph [16:27] otos on ubuntu. Thanks :) [16:27] ActionParsnip: but how? [16:28] ActionParsnip: any link (easy one) [16:28] gulzar: I have always done it through Unetbootin and haven't have a problem yet. Just check that out. [16:28] Vampy: Vampy not sure dude, I always use apt-fast (and apt-get) [16:28] ActionParsnip: generally they go for chrooting and all that.... I never succeded in it. [16:28] gulzar: http://www.robertbeal.com/562/rebuilding-grub2-grub-cfg-from-ubuntu-live-cd [16:28] [16:28] BrandonBolton: unetbootin is OK but I want a complete systm on my 8GB pendrive. SO went for normal HDD install [16:29] gulzar: you do realize there are literally thousands of guides on this.... [16:29] how come when i type (toggle caps lock), i seem to hit the second key faster than ubuntu turn caps off? WHen I TUrn THe CAps OFf (doesnt happen on windows) [16:29] [16:29] BrandonBolton: I use unetbootin to test new OS but not somthing like this.... :) there is multiboot also from pendrivelinux [16:30] gulzar: Have you tried Google? There are guides on this. [16:30] BrandonBolton : he didnt got his google search certification [16:30] :D [16:30] [16:30] BrandonBolton: yup got 4 of them.... just reading them :) [16:31] gulzar: Please stop pressing whatever you are pressing before you write messages back in this channel. You are sending an extra line with every message. [16:31] Pici: sorry actually while selecting names an extra enter is also added. WIll take care of it [16:32] which app is used to draw these kind of mockups? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=fallback-alert-mixed.jpg [16:32] Pici: I am on empathy . this is little diferent from xchat [16:33] gulzar: I understand, just letting you know. [16:33] muneeb: Probably Gimp or Inkscape. [16:33] I use grep tag -r ./ to find all the files with the word tag in it but I would like to exclude certain directories. How would one do this? [16:33] No one know about iPods? [16:33] hey, Im trying to share some folders with my media center (windows 7) and I have set up the share in Samba, but I get "windows cannot access - you do not have permission to access \\computername\film" anyone have any ideas? [16:34] What is an Ubuntu Cloak in IRC? [16:34] BrandonBolton, i don't think so.. they all look same and i think there must be some app for doing that [16:34] I am configuring OpenLDAP on Ubuntu 10.04 server machine. I am done with installing phpldapadmin. What is my next step. How should I configure apache to enable me to see the web interface. [16:34] would someone like to help me resolve the issue of my computer not recognizing the geeksquad usb stick that's plugged into it? i was in the middle of transferring photos from my cellphone to the usbstick when suddenly i started getting errors saying that the directory with the images wasn't found. [16:34] i would really appreciate the help, lots of other data is on that usbstick. [16:34] !cloak > melvincv [16:34] melvincv, please see my private message [16:34] Any special advantages in getting a cloak? [16:34] mang0: Have you tried Banshee? I used that before to manage music on the iPod. [16:35] BrandonBolton I can't even mount the iPod.... :/ [16:35] melvincv: people can't see your wan ip. [16:35] comes up with the error you see in the picture [16:35] BrandonBolton, they seem to be created with "balsamiq" but i don't have any proof so was asking the exact answer [16:35] can ubuntu livecd boot from usb cdrom? [16:35] Oh, I see. Apart from masking my WAN IP? [16:36] miha, yep [16:36] I am configuring OpenLDAP on Ubuntu 10.04 server machine. I am done with installing phpldapadmin. What is my next step. How should I configure apache to enable me to see the web interface. [16:36] mang0: Go to terminal and type df -h [16:36] urlin2u: i have two cdrom, and after initial screen it wants to load from cdrom 0 [16:36] unfortunatelly cdrom 0 is in very bad shape [16:36] BrandonBolton let me pastebinit? Doesn't look like the iPod is there :/ [16:37] miha, try tapping f12 at powering on to get a menu to boot from. [16:37] Hello [16:37] BrandonBolton: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684547/ [16:37] ActionParsnip, what is the easy and quickest way t install updated Gnome and KDE. [16:37] urlin2u: initial syslinux and ubuntu screen works fine.. but if i start livecd it reads from cdrom 0 instead of 1 [16:37] Can you give me an example of a person using a cloak here? Just curious... [16:37] melvincv type /whois mang0 [16:37] I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop. I have a problem that often the computer gets very slow, and the windows in the OS (Terminal, Browser) start blinking with gray color [16:38] * [mang0] (~mang0@unaffiliated/mang0): Jacob :) melvincv <---- now type /whois melvincv [16:38] Is it a known issue? [16:38] melvincv: please join #freenode channel for help on network use [16:38] MeirD: That's just what the OS does when it is struggling with hardware constraints. What are the specs of this system? [16:39] miha, if it is actually reading the cd1 first then defaulting to cd0, s the cd good did you md5sum the ISO, and burn it slowleu as an image. [16:39] Ok :) Got it. [16:39] is* [16:39] mang0: What type of iPod is it? It is most likely the wrong format. I remember they used to do Windows only iPods and Mac only iPods. Now they combine it. === marc is now known as Guest52649 [16:39] it is an old laptop... HP Compaq 6720s [16:39] Hard Drive: 120GB SATA (5400RPM) [16:39] urlin2u: hmmm [16:39] Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5470 1.60GHz , 2MB L2 cache, 800MHz FS [16:39] Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [16:40] RAM: 1 x 1024MB DDR2 ... thats pretty much the specs [16:40] miha, try the out of the bios boot from menu with a f12 at powering on, it may be another key or key sequence for your computer. [16:40] I installed the Ubuntu 11.04 [16:41] urlin2u: as i said, it starts from usb cdrom alright (cause first cdrom is empty). it presents me screen 'live cd' or 'install' [16:41] BrandonBolton: iPod nano, 2nd gen, 2gb, mac formatted. [16:41] urlin2u: you might be right about corruption though [16:41] miha, it happens do you want a md5sum ink? [16:41] (My apologies in advance if any ubuntu designers are present). How on earth do I get rid of that ugly purple screen when I start up / reboot /shut down my computer lol ... Purple is probably my most hated colour :) ... I've seen some ugly "hacks" when searching for this answer on Google, however I'd like to take the time and do it right if anybody has the patience to point me in the right direction? :) [16:42] mang0: Do you have a Windows computer that you can try and format it with through iTunes? I had to do the same thing with my 1st Generation iPod I don't use anymore. [16:43] edbian: Any ideas? [16:43] MeirD: That should be enough for Ubuntu. Can you elaborate on what you're doing when the windows go grey? [16:43] hola [16:43] !gnome [16:43] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [16:44] pnjh: Just Google 'Change Bootloader screen Ubuntu' [16:44] nothing special... only the terminal window and a browser are open [16:44] BrandonBolton I'm afraid I don't :/. I gave up on windows after I got a virus and lost about 700 - 1000 hours work....I have an old, old laptop that doesn't work and probs wouldn't run itunes heh [16:44] Sometimes Aptana Studio too... but that's about it [16:44] MeirD: next time it happens run top in the terminal and see what is using the most CPU or the most RAM [16:44] of course it's window's fault and not your own for not making backups of months of work :p [16:44] miha: probably no data corruption but a genuine bug. did it load the kernel? "if i start livecd" is too vague a description of where exactly it failed [16:45] BrandonBolton: I did, there were mentions of XSPLASH and Plymouth, a quick scan of these articles led me to believe they are quick "hacks"... isn't there a configuration file or something I can alter manually? [16:45] ok, I started "top" I'll check whats going on there [16:45] Guys how can i backup my current ubuntu installation so that i can restore it on my new HDD [16:45] pnjh, at start up you can go text by removing the quiet splash in gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [16:46] mang0: You can try and install iTunes through wWine, there are a few ways to do this but it has to be like iTunes 8 or so. [16:46] command "Xorg" [16:46] dinggs: just checked md5sum, it's fine... it failed right after menu 'start without changing anything'... it wanted to read from 'sr0' [16:46] REK_007: could use dd or partimage [16:46] 10.04.3-desktop-amd64 [16:46] urlin2u: Text with PURPLE background, so the problem remains lol. I know it's a silly niggly little point, but I have to look at it every day and it's quite irritating [16:46] dinggs: cant find option to disable cdrom in bios.. [16:46] BrandonBolton I'll have a look on appdb for itunes. [16:46] miha, is the fail a black screen? [16:46] ActionParsnip: I want to keep a backup so that I can format my current 500gb and then again restore ... [16:47] REK_007: can you put both disks in the same machine? if so, do that and use rsync [16:47] urlin2u: i pressed f2 and it said ioerror and sr0 [16:47] MeirD: Xorg draws the graphics. I suggest changing your graphics driver. Unfortunately I don't know how and I have to go now [16:47] pnjh, black background on my computer [16:47] it was loading infinetly, the gu [16:47] gui [16:47] REK_007: yes, dd will do a bit by bit copy to an image, you can then dd the other way to restore [16:47] http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/3715/screenshotbbu.png [16:47] REK_007: if not, put them in separate machines and use rsync [16:47] pnjh: When I did it I had to install a program and download a few different files. I will try and find it again. [16:47] ok, thanks man [16:47] First step goes haywire [16:47] BrandonBolton: Thankyou ;) [16:47] ActionParsnip: bitcopy is a bit silly if you don't need it. if you copy files you will automatically defragment the drive [16:48] miha, f2 is generally the bios. [16:48] thing is i cant find in bios to disable built in cdrom [16:48] sorry i will reframe my question . I will format my HDD on which ubuntu is present and create the partitions again. So is there a way i can backup my current setup[to another HDD] and restore it once my HDD is ready. [16:48] urlin2u: I'll check the file you mentioned and see if I did something different to what you're suggesting. Xubuntu has the right idea, black and silver <3 [16:48] anyway, my ubuntu 10.04 installation is alright, my lenovo vista recovery wasnt.. just checking if i can boot livecd :) [16:48] BrandonBolton looks like itunes 10 is a silver level wine program [16:48] REK_007: why do you want to reformat the drive and recreate the same partitions again? [16:48] REK_007, yeah clonezilla, but the partions built have to at lwast as big as the original. [16:49] least* [16:49] good evening everyone [16:49] REK_007: if you're trying to resize, you don't need to go to that length. resizing is mature now [16:49] ne2k: Had made it to GUID table . But not it is having problem reconizing devices on GRUB even with UUIDs [16:49] pnjh: I did this is a while ago and it worked. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-settings-for-the-bootloader-and-splash-screen-in-ubuntu.html [16:49] pnjh, if you change that file run sudo update-grub. [16:49] urlin2u: yeah partitions will be same . [16:50] mang0: I am not sure how to help. I am still noobish in ways. [16:50] BrandonBolton: Thanks a lot I'll have a look now. urlin2u: Will do :) [16:50] REK_007, clonezillawill save it to another hd without any special partitionong. [16:50] thanks :) [16:50] BrandonBolton: Heh, don't worry. Google is my best friend :3 [16:50] Guys, I think I may have found the problem here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel [16:50] According to Terminal, I have [16:50] card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] [16:51] Which is not there, which means I can't use ALSA? [16:51] REK_007, a bootable cd is all you need, http://clonezilla.org/ [16:51] Does anybody here use the Eclipse IDE? [16:52] thank you urlin2u will try it right away [16:52] ntpspe: i do now and then [16:52] I've installed it and tried running through the build in 'hello world' tutorial and even let it do the thing itself, and i get compiling errors everywhere :/ [16:52] i upgrade ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4 and now php (most of the time) downloads the file instead of processing it... weird thing is, in FF, in some cases it works fine... but never works in chrome or IE [16:53] any ideas why the upgrade screwed up php? [16:53] someone else had this issue, but no resolution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475763 [16:53] Ricoshady, when did you upgrade 9.10 is end of life were you updated? [16:54] urlin2u: im not sure I understood your question [16:54] could someone tell me when i try to do a port forward it doesnt get open [16:54] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e7148d667a6c362385013360a4a3984ef0cce843 [16:54] trying to learn shell scripting. o well back to my books i suppose [16:55] Ricoshady, okay. [16:55] quit [16:55] i was in the process of moving files from my cellphone to the geeksquad usb stick plugged into my computer when all of a sudden i got popup boxes saying that the files in question did not exist (or something like that). i could not access the usbstick after that. [16:55] can you clarify your question? [16:55] i ran this command and this is what it shows: [16:55] mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usb [16:55] mount: no medium found on /dev/sdb [16:55] Ricoshady: it's possible that the upgrade changed the MIME associations, and so your server is now sending files with the wrong MIME type [16:56] i never formatted my usbstick, why is linux saying that no medium is found on it? [16:56] Ricoshady, probably but maybe a web search for end of life and updates might help you [16:56] Ricoshady: What type of internet connection do you have? [16:56] Polah: Cable, why? [16:57] Try downloading some drivers [16:57] Ricoshady: Hm, edit your network connection and set your MTU to 1500 manually [16:57] thevaliantx, have you unplugged everything abd tried again. [16:57] and* [16:57] Ricoshady: Do you have all the drivers on your pc? [16:57] urlin2u: i'm not sure what you mean by unplugging everything. === nosa is now known as nosa-j [16:58] thevaliantx, lets see here you have a cell, a usb and a conputer. [16:58] computer* [16:58] nicholas_: huh? all the "drivers" [16:58] urlin2u: yes, i unplugged the cellphone and tried mounting the usbstick, no dice [16:59] hey, Im trying to share some folders with my media center (windows 7) and I have set up the share in Samba, but I get "windows cannot access - you do not have permission to access \\computername\film" anyone have any ideas? btw: on the windows box i get error code x if that is any help [16:59] Ricoshady: did you install drivers to run your usb? [16:59] TL help channel [16:59] nicholas_: i dont see how that matters, my question is not about usb [17:00] thevaliantx, do you have a different computer too check the usb stick with, or have you just rebooted to see if that helps. [17:00] Ricoshady: sorry, I got mixed up. [17:00] Ricoshady, like I said, try manually setting your MTU and retrying [17:01] MTU? [17:02] urlin2u: yeap, rebooted, that did nothing. will try the usb stick at another computer, however my cellphone is detected with no problems in the same usb port. [17:02] Ricoshady: On your panel, click the network icons > Edit connection > Select connection you're using > Edit > Change "MTU" field from "automatic" to 1500 if it's on automatic, save and restart the connection. [17:02] Polah: what are you talking about? [17:03] i dont have any problems with my internet connection [17:03] Ricoshady: You said PHP files were downloading rather than actually displaying what they should. I've had the same problem with the wrong MTU settings. Do what I said and then try again. [17:04] Polah: thats not it, I promise. [17:04] urlin2u: plugging the usb stick into another computer did nothing. [17:04] this is a server anyway, no graphical interface [17:04] thevaliantx, time to talk to the geek squad if it was me I guess. [17:05] Ricoshady: Oh, you're running a server? I thought it was your home computer when trying to access PHP files. === alpha is now known as Guest3295 [17:05] no, this is through apache [17:06] after upgrade ubuntu, mod_apache doesnt seem to run correctly [17:06] Ricoshady: What version of php is it [17:06] ?

I have a shared virtual disk on an ssd that is primarily used by a windows server 2008 r2 vm. the volumes were created on the ws2k8r2 and im totally unable to mount the volume. [17:15] in ubuntu [17:15] the ws2k8r2 is also set to efi boot [17:15] hi all [17:16] I read the manpage already. I didn't understand if it meant that the partition format is checked. [17:16] sandguisdex: There's dd which you can use to create an image, or you could update the package lists and install an image program temporarily [17:16] Is this for basic help?? [17:17] Mountain: It's for as much help as you want and we can give [17:17] I downloaded Ubuntu to a stick, but can't do anything with it.

[17:18] <[THC]AcidRain> looks like it doesnt have a valid ntfs [17:18] tomeo, that is a standard install, you have sudo for super user, and you can add other users and use the guest as well. [17:19] i could never mount it in the first place [17:19] i am having an error and everyone so far has misdiagnosed it. i wonder if it is time to ask again in here. [17:19] improveupon, pastebin the errors [17:19] Mountain: use Unetbootin to make a live usb [17:19] improveupon, the time has come [17:19] urlin2u: okay, I think I must have almost broken Google finding the solution to my problem :) [17:20] theadmin, it doesnt seem to matter if its mounted or unmounted in windows [17:20] no cigar [17:20] Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi) [17:20] Disk /dev/sdb: 48.3GB [17:20] Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B [17:20] Partition Table: gpt [17:20] zapotah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

The user is root, and I issued a password for it. Using mysql, I created a table »mytable« in my database »mydatabase«. phpMyAdmin shows me that this table has 3 users "root". I'd like to add another user »tom« to this table who has less privileges and has his usual Unix user password. From the phpMyAdmin > Privileges form it seems that... [17:22] ...this is... [17:22] ...not possible for one specific file »myfile« only. Right or wrong? [17:22] ActionParsnip: The network path was not found [17:22] hallgeirg: can you ping the name, or IP?

[17:24] i am NOW ready to start properly backing up my precious data. would someone here like to help me get started with some sort of 'system' in backing up data (ie, computer, cellphone, etc.)? [17:24] jpmh: use G4L ( Ghost for linux) [17:24] urlin2u: i bought the stick in 2009. [17:24] ActionParsnip: please explain how I would use dd [17:24] ActionParsnip: pinging the ip was a success [17:25] thevaliantx, things break might just be a wire that can be patched to pull the stuff, I use external HD to back up two identicals, a backup of my backups. [17:25] !backup | thevaliantx [17:25] thevaliantx: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [17:26] padhu: g4l requres that I remove drives which I prefer not to do - netbooks u c [17:26] hallgeirg: disable password encryption, allow windows firewall to access. check Ubuntu firewall too. In samba config, don't use bind [17:27] ur2lin2u: sorry but... you mean the paste the errors in /var/syslog, right? [17:27] thanks h00k er :) [17:27] jpmh: It has an capabilty to clone with FTP feature [17:27] thanks ubottu [17:28] improveupon, not sure you said you have errors the standard response is pastebin them, for those that can read them and advise. [17:28] padhu: no encryt on, samba config "bind"? [17:28] padhu: i just pulled the pages - where do u find instructions for that [17:28] thevaliantx, u"bot"tu [17:29] jpmh: Just hold on,... [17:29] padhu: ty [17:29] urlin2u: i will let you hear the situation first. [17:29] is h00k a real person in here? if so, my apologies for the play on words :) [17:29] improveupon, I doubt I can help but go ahead [17:30] hello [17:30] thevaliantx, half human half cyborg. :D [17:30] ubuntu keeps crashing after a while of use, and when it does it like does not detect a hard drive. i always use sysrq to reboot, and then it runs the post and still does not detect a hard drive. you manually poweroff and cold boot and it is fine. [17:31] windows is on the same hard disk and it does not crash like this at all [17:31] urlin2u: o_0 [17:32] thevaliantx: yep. I am. It's not the first time I've seen it :) [17:32] if i connect a mp3 player, where will it be mounted? how can i find out? [17:32] I try to install ubuntu from usb storage, but my ASUS k50id notebook bios does not let me choose both hdd and usb stick, it makes me to choose one mass storage, hdd or usb stick, so i can not put these 2 together in the boot order, can anyone help? [17:32] improveupon: If you can, check the SMART diagnostics on your HD. [17:32] any questions? i thought at first it was firefox, so i copied the errors firefox gave when the system crashes, but now i know it was not firefox [17:33] smart health: 98% [17:33] improveupon, if it was me I would just reinstall it, but I don't wait to fix stuff. [17:33] that is probably a good idea [17:34] thank you for helping me think :D [17:34] h00k: anyway, cool name. I immediately thought of Captain Hook. you should make an avatar where there is a logo of 'IRC' with the 'C' being part of the hook on the captain's arm. i know, weird thought :D [17:34] improveupon, no problem, is it a wubi install, or a regular dual boot? [17:34] the latter [17:35] anyone here used jpcap with natty? [17:35] jpmh : bind interfaces only = no [17:35] ActionParsnip: i managed to ping it, now what? === drostie is now known as drostje [17:35] improveupon, cool. [17:36] unless someone else has an idea [17:36] probably not tho [17:36] So, the gimp in the repositories segfaults and gdb doesn't help much to diagnose the problem. Should I just try compiling from source? [17:37] improveupon, if you reinstall you can make a list of all the apps installed and save the sources.list and the sources.list.d and reload all the same stuff. [17:38] elp [17:38] w/w [17:38] is Duplicity the best linux software for backing up 'family' data (ie, mp3's, resumes, family documents, photos)? i looked at those different links presented by ubottu and quite frankly am overwhelmed. [17:38] ;] [17:38] has anyone ever used net.sourceforge.jpcap with unbuntu? [17:39] I got my code working on a windows machine but I get a JNI error in ubuntu [17:39] More specifically, here is what gdb says when I try to run the gimp in the repos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684601/ . [17:40] It might have to do with the fact that I'm running kubuntu, so that some library isn't included as a dependency which should be. [17:40] thevaliantx, the best is what you like, I use grsync it will sync and remove what is at the pther end or add using rsync. [17:40] other* [17:41] drostje: gdb> bt [17:41] thevaliantx, you can do it all from the terminal butgrsync has a gui [17:41] has anyone got this wireless card working under 10.04 ?"08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)" [17:41] urlin2u: damned be me for asking an open-ended question, lol! i probably should have asked whether it was the easiest backup system to use for the things i mentioned. [17:42] T0X|C: roll back to a previous version of the driver [17:42] thevaliantx, lots of options really. :D [17:42] jabbajac, it was never working since this install of ubuntu [17:42] is ubuntu trying to look like osx? :D [17:42] jabbajac, where can i find an eariler version of it? [17:42] T0X|C like ubuntu 9 version of it [17:42] dinggs: okay, that's more detailed. gdb says this when running gimp and backtracing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684611/ [17:43] can someone help me enable CGI? i'm using ubuntu 10.10 and apache2 [17:43] T0X|C, I had to do that when i upgraded my laptop, you're left with weaker wifi but that's better than no wifi [17:43] i thought i needed to add a ScriptAlias directive in my apache2.conf, but that doesn't seem to apply on debian distros. so i am here to seek help from the experts :P [17:44] can anyone help me accessing my ubuntu-box from my windows7-box [17:44] dinggs: there is something peculiar happening when it asks Oxygen to create a style. :x [17:44] hallgeirg: Probably, just ask your question. [17:44] hallgeirg, standard ease of travel is a shared ntfs partition. [17:45] jabbajac, where do you find a driver that worked? did you use ndiswrapper or fwcutter? do you remember what guide you followed online if any? [17:45] any one here real good at explaining things and also good at using bzr and launchpad ? [17:45] i get path not found when i try accessing what i have shared on my ubuntubox, I can ping my ubuntubox, but nothing more [17:45] hallgeirg, unless actual separate boxes [17:45] zoned: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/httpd.html [17:46] T0X|C: I'm pretty sure i followed the steps here T0X|C [17:46] T0X|C: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [17:46] urlin2u: unless what..? they are very separate, one in my office, and the other in my livingroom [17:46] hallgeirg: What sort of access do you require? File sharing or remote control? [17:47] hi guys is there any vsphere client for ubuntu? [17:47] Polah: only filesharing [17:47] usr13: i don't see CGI on there?

[17:47] jabbajac, thanks! this looks promising [17:47] istevenmon: i don't think so [17:47] bobweaver: it is a vmware client [17:47] T0X|C: np [17:47] drostje: yuck. no idea, but you might try to resolve those ?? by installing debug versions of libs (dont know how to obtain them) [17:48] istevenis thanks [17:48] istevenmon: anything toi do with virtual box ? [17:48] hallgeirg: if you run: smbtree on ubuntu, do you see your shares?

[17:49] istevenmon: no they don't have a client for linux [17:49] urlin2u: do you just keep a box of your cd/dvd backups with labels on them, or do you just throw away the last backup when you create a new one? i just want a simple way of doing things. i've been burned SO many times with devices failing, so many photos lost :( [17:49] istevenmon: you can ssh onto the esxi host [17:49] istevenmon: you see this ----> http://vmetc.com/2009/10/23/using-vsphere-client-on-ubuntu-linux-with-single-application-rdp/ [17:50] jabbajac: so i am locked to command line [17:50] thevaliantx, I use dual external HD's, one backs up the backups. [17:50] bobweaver: nice find [17:50] usr13: it does say that, but that's already all set up (as it is the default)..... but i need to enable it so when i go mysite.com/cgi-bin/myfile.cgi that it actually calls /usr/lib/cgi-bin/myfile.cgi and executes it. i do not know how to set this up on ubuntu/apache. that's why i'm here. [17:50] okay, thanks [17:50] Any one can help me with launchpad [17:51] jabbajac: what a google hack can do :) thanks [17:51] istevenmon, look at the link bobweaver put, [17:51] can anyone help me with jpcap and ubuntu?

Please wait for few seconds..... and system monitor is showing some downloads. What is this? [17:52] istevenmon: yea [17:52] istevenmon: I do not stand by it just 30 sec of looking at google [17:52] zoned: Well, you can place a page on your server that uses cgi-bin and see how it works. Maybe that will help. [17:52] I just logged in into my first own server running 10.04 lts :) [17:52] wonder if crodd whatever will work [17:52] jabbajac: how? [17:52] usr13: where do i find instructions for this? [17:52] wonder if cross whatever will work [17:53] Is there a keyboard shortcut that goes to the ubuntu button in the GUI?

[17:54] urlin2u: its boot-repair [17:54] Whenever my computer (Ubuntu 10.10) stays idle for a while it will lock up and I cannot resume what I was doing, and have to force a shut down. [17:54] so do I make a page on launch pad then make all the files in bzr. Or is it the other way around ? [17:54] nothingspecial: no, I dont have a windows button in the GUI [17:55] zoned: Ive got the powered access bible working on a couple of LAN servers (built on Ubuntu) and works fine [17:55] gui; probably an easier way whats actually happening, what OS's?

Check your logs.

My solution was to disable the screen saver. [18:14] zoned: you can try that [18:14] zoned, but that'll print out any html on it and it probably won't run anything except the perl [18:15] jabbajac: so what should i try??

[18:19] bullgard4_: try #mysql or the mysql manual, you need the "grant" command [18:19] zoned: try actually executing the script using perl -d so you can debug it [18:19] bullgard4_: by manual I mean the online manual at mysql.com - it's good [18:20] T0X|C hmm are you using intel proc? [18:20] CyberSix, yo9u posted at @freebsd with the same question is why I asked this is ubuntu only, basically. [18:20] ikonia: I will snoop for the "grant" command. [18:20] i realize that it could be a weird question but i wonder if i can remove all gnome-desktop environnement because i wanna stay with WMFS, how would it be possible if it is?

My problem seems to be that glade3 is trying to use appmenu-gtk3. When I try to install this from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/appmenu-gtk3 I find out that I also need to install libdbusmenu-glib4. This however causes a problem with there new unity package. I get the error: libdbusmenu-glib4 breaks gir1.2-unity-3.0 (<< 3.8.4-0ubuntu2) gir1.2-unity-3.0 (version 3.8.4-0ubuntu1) is present and installed. dpkg: er [18:26] ror processing libdbusmenu-glib4_0.4.93-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--install): installing libdbusmenu-glib4 would break gir1.2-unity-3.0, and deconfiguration is not permitted. Can anyone help me out? [18:26] <[Ex0r]> hmm, does anyone know what would cause proftpd to not be installable on ubuntu ? When I use apt-get install proftpd, it says there is a dependency that isn't installable [18:26] Elvar: you have the problem because you're using 11.10 packages with 11.04 [18:27] Starminn, I've jot so called "quick solutions" 1. If you did the distribution upgrade, you may experience lags like this. 2. If you have installed ubuntu 11.04, this is a big issue, which still needs to be resolved. If it doesn't answer your questions, let me think again... [18:27] thanks ikonia. so i just need to update to 11.10? === letsgo is now known as Loceka [18:27] Elvar: well no as that's an unstable release. [18:27] hello :) [18:27] T0X|C: try this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1794105&page=3 [18:27] is it possible to allow simultaneous downloads with synaptic ? [18:27] <[Ex0r]> openbsd-inetd and inet-superserver both say that they cannot be installed because they aren't installable [18:28] fatal_ERROR777: I've done neither of those. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and it was a fresh install. [18:28] previously my apache wsgi apps were located in /var/www -- for some reason, now apache looks for them in /etc/apache2/htdocs -- any ideas how to fix this? [18:28] Hi. Is there a way to have system brodcast messages display somewhere in gnome? messages from say, wall, talk, write, shutdown? [18:29] Elvar, where did you install glade3 from ? [18:29] ikonia: is there anything that would allow me to continue gtk3 development on ubuntu? Should I currently just wait for 11.10 to come out? [18:29] agentgasmask: there is an old program called dtnotify, and I believe there is a gtk version that I can't remember the name of [18:29] <[Ex0r]> anyone? [18:29] Anyone here just happen to have dug into an optiplex 780 desktop? Know if there's an space for a normal hard instead of a half-height? [18:29] Elvar: I think you've messed up your machine to be honest as it will have pulled in more than gtk with dependencies [18:29] * kyle__ crosses his fingers [18:30] T0X|C: I can't seem to find the link that I used but I just googled broadcom wireless ubuntu and I think it was within the first 5 pages [18:30] [Ex0r], could you pastebin the full error message ? [18:30] kyle__: That is not on-topic for this channel, try ##hardware [18:30] Elvar: YOu can always run 11.10 beta, or some other gtk3 friendly distro, in a VM using virtualbox or kvm. [18:30] Pici: I know, just checking, sorry.

Is there a way to tell. I just know I use glade-3 at the command line for creating my gui's. [18:32] ikonia: Ah, thanks, I'll check that out. :) [18:32] agentgasmask: I can't remember the gtk name for it though [18:32] [Ex0r], and what does "sudo apt-get install inet-superserver" say ? [18:33] <[Ex0r]> No installation candidate [18:33] <[Ex0r]> same thing with openbsd-inet [18:33] Starminn, than, I'm lost. I've tried to help you, but I just don't know how to solve your problem. Least likely you should clean the parts of your computer inside to prevent overheating... [18:33] anybody can direct me to where I can get help with pcap/wireshark issues on ubuntu? [18:34] ikonia, here's hoping that the machine isn't too badly messed up. It's seems to run fine. I just can't get one error to go away while I am developing my code. I might try the virtual machine route that kyle__ suggested. [18:34] jabbajac: tried the backtrack channel? [18:34] Starminn, but ask anybody else first. [18:34] [Ex0r], it's openbsd-inetd not openbsd-inet [18:34] <[Ex0r]> glebihan- yeah, that was a typo [18:34] <[Ex0r]> openbsd-inetd does the same thing [18:35] i try to share my film.folder in ubuntu and get this message: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID.

[18:35] I'm confused by LVM. I want an encrypted swap partition with a random key at startup. Should I use 2 normal partitions (boot + LVM with data & swap inside), or 3 (boot / LVM with data / swap) ? [18:35] <[Ex0r]> glebihan- I am using 10.04 LTS [18:36] jabbajac: not sure [18:36] !backtrack [18:36] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

[18:36] jabbajac: are you using backtrack or ubuntu ? [18:36] jabbajac: there you go :-) [18:36] [Ex0r]: do you have the backports repository enabled? It may have been backported. [18:36] ikonia: using ubuntu [18:36] <[Ex0r]> drostje- nope, not that I know of [18:37] <[Ex0r]> I only have CLI, can I enable it from cli ? [18:37] jabbajac: here is the best place, the #backtrack guys will just point you back here [18:37] ikonia: bumping into libpcap/jpcap error [18:37] [Ex0r]: /etc/apt/sources.list [18:37] jabbajac: could you expand the error [18:37] <[Ex0r]> mneptok- thanks [18:37] ikonia: technically it's a java error but it has something to do with something i have setup in ubuntu [18:37] <[Ex0r]> drostje- I only have lucid, lucid-security, and lucid-updates in the repo [18:37] * mneptok bows [18:38] does anyone know how to enable simultaneous download in synaptic ? [18:38] ikonia: its some wireshark thing. Id imagine someone there uses it [18:38] ikonia, I have a java script that analyses pcap files [18:38] Is it possible to rebind/remap (apparently there is a difference but I don't know what it is) keys for certain applications? [18:38] jabbajac: java error ? can you expand on what you're doing and how you're doing it please [18:38] ActionParsnip: but they don't use ubuntu [18:38] jabbajac: java won't be calling a system library though [18:38] [Ex0r]: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-backports main universe and whatever else you need.

It is free [18:39] ikonia: I compiled net.sourceforge.jpcap from source [18:39] jabbajac: ahhh ha [18:39] jabbajac: that maybe the issue, where is it on your system [18:39] jabbajac: it's probably not linked somewhere the system knows about [18:39] [Ex0r]: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/684651/ [18:40] ikonia: it's in the bin folder that is made by eclipse [18:40] <[Ex0r]> thanks === HoellP is now known as HoellP|away [18:40] jabbajac: no, that's the binary, where is the library [18:40] <[Ex0r]> does updating that require a restart ? [18:40] [Ex0r], check this out. http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [18:40] [Ex0r]: I don't actually know if either of these has been backported, but it is a wild guess. [18:40] ikonia: libpcap.so? [18:40] jabbajac: yes [18:40] ikonia: that would be in /usr/lib [18:41] <[Ex0r]> mneptok- does updating the list require some sort of restart or refresh ? [18:41] [Ex0r]: it won't require a restart, just apt-get update and see whether either package now exists. [18:41] jabbajac: that seems like the right place, [18:41] jabbajac: where is the application you compiled ? [18:41] <[Ex0r]> sweet, thanks [18:41] ikonia: /home/jabbajac/workspace/jpcaptest/ [18:41] <[Ex0r]> if that doesn't work, I don't know what i'm gonna do [18:42] jabbajac: you need to do the java equivilent of ldd against it, can you run "file" against the binary please. [18:42] Well you can always download the packages and their dependencies manually and install them with dpkg -i . [18:42] [Ex0r]: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:42] <[Ex0r]> haha, that worked! [18:42] ikonia: =X how would I do that? [18:42] right on. :D [18:42] jabbajac: what's the binary called ? [18:43] ikonia: jpcap.jar [18:43] ikonia: it sucks because the original person who wrote this code is now gone [18:43] jabbajac: damn, I don't know the java version of ldd, [18:43] jabbajac: try in ##java and ask how you can view the dependencies and location of the class dependencies [18:44] How to disable autohide feature of unity?

I tried to install an old one (0.4.9 and 0.4.10, which used to work), but when logging for the first time Spotify autoupdates and I get to the initial problem. [19:14] I'm referring to Spotify through Wine, not the Linux version [19:14] urlin2u, its corseca byte dm5710bt [19:15] grillermo: text? [19:15] I have smbclient and smbfs installed and have no issues moving files between my VM of XP but I can't connect to another separate XP machine even though I can see it. Sharing is "on" on that other machine as well.. [19:15] any suggestions? [19:15] victor_uva: what version of wine? [19:16] stillParsnip: wine 1.2.2 (the one in Natty) [19:17] urlin2u, i tried the instructions given here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset [19:17] victor_uva: add the wine ppa, uninstall wine and install wine1.3 [19:17] urlin2u, but i can only play .wav files [19:17] ok, I'll try and comment [19:17] I'm getting this white background when using unity with nvidia's drivers. and sometimes applications' content is also white. what causes this? [19:17] steel, not sure really. [19:18] I am working with an application that outputs some text in terminal when I run commands to it. How do I capture its output, and sort it? [19:18] Hi all my pithos has stopped working with a gstreamer error. Can someone help me debug it? [19:18] Matth1a3: application > logfile [19:18] doesn't it matter that wine 1.3 is still beta? [19:18] Matth1a3: Then you can do whatever you want with 'logfile' [19:18] Matth1a3: Alternatively, you could do `application | sort` with appropriate parameters to sort to put it in whatever order? [19:18] !info wine1.3 [19:18] wine1.3 (source: wine1.3): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.15-0ubuntu5 (natty), package size 11649 kB, installed size 98012 kB [19:18] so I would do something like ./bitcoind -datadir=1 listtransactions "*" > logfile.txt [19:18] ? [19:18] urlin2u, any idea how can i get the bluetooth headset option in the sound preference? [19:19] steel, never used anything bluetooth. [19:19] victor_uva: its in the repos. Ppa will have a newer version [19:19] urlin2u, ohhk,thanks anyways [19:20] so may I use the one in universe or the one in the ppa? [19:20] is there any software for ubuntu like a voice changer, that i can record my voice and play with the sound of my voice to change it around? [19:20] Pricey: so would I do something like ./bitcoind -datadir=1 listtransactions "*" > logfile.txt [19:20] i got two screens(extended desktop) and the second is widescreen standing on its side, so i told ubuntu that its vertical, it works fine, but the wallpaper area of the first horizontal smaller one, goes all the way down to the size of the vertical one [19:21] this does not happen in xfce, only in gnome [19:21] the problem is, that the icons in my desktop go to the hidden area [19:21] any ideas? [19:23] I'm having trouble with SPIDIF sound out. Is there a tutorial or a guide you can point me to? [19:23] I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. [19:24] grillermo: did you want to remove dir( from the beginning of string dir(string(something) or did I misunderstand you? [19:25] hey everyone, i tried to load a custom kernel from source. i edited my grub menu, and now when i try to boot from it it says it cant mount my root=/dev/sda1 then kernel panics. can anyone help me? [19:26] either the /dev/sda1 part is wrong [19:26] or your kernel doesn't have the filesystem that is on /dev/sda1 [19:27] how do I become root? [19:27] such that I can get root's shell [19:27] su [19:27] codemagician: sudo commands [19:27] sudo su - [19:27] or just type sudo before your commands. [19:27] sudo -s [19:27] hello [19:28] Goodbye all! Have a nice day! Or good night! [19:28] anyone use the evolution mail client for exchange? evolution doesn't save my configuration settings [19:28] agentgasmask, thanks [19:28] alpha--, thanks [19:28] if i want to run ubuntu on virtual box from windows 7 do i have to download the .iso again, or can i use a live cd that i already have of ubuntu 11.04? [19:29] notaguru, which virtual app? [19:29] evolution keeps putting "https" as the mail sever even though i copy and past the server address in [19:29] you can use livecd [19:29] notaguru: You can likely use the CD, but thats a better question for #vbox [19:29] notaguru, you can use the cd yeah. [19:29] ok, thanks. didnt want to waste any bandwidth if i didnt have to [19:29] better yet, rip cd to iso [19:30] for performance [19:31] which areas are worth backing up on a ubuntu desktop. so far I have /home /root /etc/ /var/www.... any more? [19:31] anyone here use evolution with exchange on ubuntu? [19:31] codemagician, /etc [19:32] znh, i have that one [19:32] codemagician:There is no general answer to that. It all depends on how you are setup and what you used. [19:32] !details | jdjdjdidjdidj [19:32] jdjdjdidjdidj: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:32] archae, sure, but I'm making sure i haven't missed anything obvious [19:32] Anyone have expirience with sharing folders/files from my ubuntubox to my windows 7 box? [19:32] jdjdjdidjdidj: I have done in the past [19:32] Evolution won't save the email configuration settings for my email account [19:33] I cant find my ubuntubox on the network on my windows box.. please help [19:33] I put in the imap sever address, click ok, return to the configuration settings and it puts the sever address as 'https' [19:33] jdjdjdidjdidj: that's how it works, it exchange over web [19:33] codemagician /home is priority #1 for backup [19:33] codemagician: If you want a desent backup, use APTonCD to make your current system into a distribution you can reinstall at any time. [19:33] jdjdjdidjdidj: they use the OWA address :/ [19:33] decent*' [19:33] ikonia: no. the sever isn't supposed to be 'https' [19:34] i put in the owa address [19:34] and it doesn't save it [19:34] exit [19:34] jdjdjdidjdidj: seems odd, so it's forcing it to https rather than http [19:34] if i put in the owa address, it should say the owa address in that box [19:34] jdjdjdidjdidj: the owa address is a url though [19:35] yes [19:35] i am putting in the url [19:35] archae, thanks [19:35] that should save all your installed programs and basic settings, but I am unsure as to whether it will also replace the personal files (/home/) [19:35] but when i return to the configuration settins, it lists the imap sever as beintg 'https' and only 'https' [19:35] jdjdjdidjdidj: can you place http in front of it ? does it still default to https ? [19:35] as in the excat string 'https' === uppy_x is now known as uppy [19:36] I put in this "https.mail.whatever.com" then click ok. when i go back in the settings, the sever is listed as the string "https" [19:36] I downloaded a 32bit .deb for my Maverick (32bit) and ubuntu software center shows this message: Sorry, 'application' is not available for this type of computer i386??? [19:36] jdjdjdidjdidj: that's not a URL [19:36] its not saving the address i am putting in for the imap sever address [19:36] weird [19:36] ikonia: well whatever i copy in the correct url [19:36] jdjdjdidjdidj: http://someserver.com or https://someserver.com is a URL [19:36] it doesn't save the settings [19:36] i know what a url [19:36] is [19:36] i686 GNU/Linux [19:37] jdjdjdidjdidj: ok, so why did you give an invalid one ? [19:37] my question is why evolution doesn't save this information [19:37] hello, can someone help me (please) with a dual boot issue? [19:37] ikonia: no i set up this exchange in thuderbird a while ago [19:37] jdjdjdidjdidj: what is the exact URL you are passing [19:37] isn't i686 the same as i386 (32 bit) [19:37] jimbozone: What seems to be the problem? [19:37] jdjdjdidjdidj: thunderbird can't connect to exchange [19:37] it doesn't matter its an the correct ural [19:37] ikonia: yes and no [19:37] jimbozone, have you posted the problem? [19:37] jdjdjdidjdidj: ok, if you're not going to give me the details, I'm not going to help you. [19:38] ikonia: i gave you the details [19:38] i don't understand how to be more clear [19:38] I have ubuntu installed and I then installed win7 on a separate drive [19:38] question i am writing a script so far i get it to run but it needs to run as root and asks for the password do you guys know how to get it to enter in my password automaticly [19:38] jdjdjdidjdidj: no, I asked for the exact url [19:38] eveolution doesn't save teh imap sever address i give it [19:38] I then ran the boot repair cd [19:38] spotify doesn't work properly although I installed wine1.3 from ppa; the problem remains (black rectangles with lines of different colours; the sound is working, but it's annoying not having a correct interface) [19:38] ikonia: i don't want to post it [19:38] jimbozone: you need to fix grub. [19:38] jdjdjdidjdidj: give me the exact URL you are using [19:38] and its got ubuntu loading [19:38] the url is correct [19:38] jdjdjdidjdidj: send it in a pm to me then [19:38] but win7 is not in the boot up menu [19:38] jimbozone: write everything in one line [19:38] jdjdjdidjdidj: ikonia Lots of conversation - very little information :( [19:38] and I'd like it to be :) [19:38] sorry :) [19:39] jimbozone, run sudo update-grub in ubuntu [19:39] how do i send a private message? [19:39] jimbozone: open a terminal and type sudo update-grub [19:39] jdjdjdidjdidj: you arleady have, you sent me one saying "hold on" [19:39] aha - that time it found windows 7 [19:39] : ))) [19:40] that's it? that seemed _too_ easy [19:40] jdjdjdidjdidj: ok, so you've sent me the URL, that's great, however the URL you gave me IS https [19:40] does anyone shell scripts [19:40] jimbozone: of course it is :) have fun [19:40] thx :) [19:40] how do I stop .gvfs being written in my home directory? === Mud is now known as Guest42902 [19:40] jdjdjdidjdidj: so that means evolution is correct [19:40] jdjdjdidjdidj: so the url being https is correct by evolution, it's not a problem, it's correct. [19:40] codemagician: what is .gvfs ? [19:41] ikonia: it should only read "https". the exact tring "http" should it read teh adress i entered? [19:41] usr13, its a pain in the arse file that gets written by gnome I think [19:41] ikonia: jd is saying that the url he enters is not being saved [19:41] o [19:41] jdjdjdidjdidj: forget http - the url is https [19:41] yes fuck [19:41] archae: ah, I missunderstood that [19:41] jdjdjdidjdidj: control the language please. [19:41] sorry [19:41] IE: "https://somesite.org" becomes "https://" [19:41] can i post an image [19:41] or something [19:41] jdjdjdidjdidj: is this for outgoing or incoming mail ? [19:42] eveolution isn't saving my configuration settings. that is the problem [19:42] basically the .gvfs file has user =? group =? and screws up my backups [19:42] jdjdjdidjdidj: I don't believe you can use owa for outgoing mail [19:42] jdjdjdidjdidj: it needs to be a server address, not a URL [19:42] jdjdjdidjdidj: that's why it's changing https://somedomain.com to https [19:42] jdjdjdidjdidj: it thinks https is the server name [19:42] well it should work for the imap though [19:42] codemagician: Where are they, just in /home/user/? [19:43] jdjdjdidjdidj: yes, as that's incoming and can be used with owa [19:43] usr13, yes [19:43] g [19:43] yeah well evolution isn't saving that information [19:43] > imap.emailprovider.com [19:43] jdjdjdidjdidj: it is, you said it works [19:43] codemagician: All I see is an empty dir on mine. [19:43] it doesn't save any of the settigs [19:43] no it doesn't work [19:43] jdjdjdidjdidj: for outgoing it needs to be a server name or fully qualivied domain [19:43] usr13, OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/.... /.gvfs' [19:43] jdjdjdidjdidj: you just said it works for the owa url [19:43] ikonia: no sorry, it works in thunderbird [19:44] usr13, im on ubuntu 11 [19:44] evolution isn't saving any of the settings i am putting in [19:44] codemagician: ls -l |grep gdfs [19:44] what does that say?^ [19:44] gvfs* [19:44] jdjdjdidjdidj: try this for me, please put in (just for a test) email.domain.com does it save that [19:44] need some help archiving a folder contents while excluding some others but my command doesn't seem to work === zeroed is now known as bugch3ck [19:44] jdjdjdidjdidj: use just that name "email.domain.com" nothing else [19:44] usr13, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467862 [19:44] well, the excludes anyway [19:44] bugzilla.novell.com bug 467862 in GNOME "By opening firefox a file ".gvfs" are created in the home direcotry with no access rights" [Major,Reopened] [19:45] heres my command tar -zcvf ../backup.tar.gz --exclude 'var/cache' --exclude 'media/catalog/samplechapters' --exclude 'media/catalog/product/9/7' --exclude 'cleanmc' * [19:45] should you be putting an initial / to represent root?

[19:46] usr13, no output [19:46] archae no its not a root folder [19:47] usr13, you had a typo [19:47] var/cach is inside the dir I'm in (/home/users/html [19:47] should be: ls -l | grep gvfs [19:47] I never understood the purpose of gvfsd [19:47] annoying daemons [19:47] ls -la ~/ |grep .gvfs [19:48] Good afternoon, everyone. I'm having a problem with the Ubuntu Installer on a Mac Mini. I see the purple boot screen, and I can select "Try Ubuntu before Installing" or "Install Ubuntu", but either way, when I do, I lose signal to my monitor, and my disk drive just clicks around for a while. I've tried waiting 20 minutes, but nothing ever happens. Is there any troubleshooting or anything I can do here? [19:48] bonobo-activation-server? what is this? [19:48] dr-x------ 2 me devteam 0 2011-09-05 18:54 .gvfs [19:48] mmyers clicking hd sounds like trouble ie mechanical failure [19:48] but it changes to ? ? sometimes [19:49] I've had HDDs click repeatedly when they weren't getting enough power :/ [19:49] Not the HD. The DVD drive. It sounds like it's trying to read stuff, ZenMasta. Not really a click, more...the drive working furiously at reads. [19:49] mmyers: Is the disc really scratched up? [19:49] mmyers: did u burn the CD at low speed? [19:49] you have to. [19:49] try redownloading the image file, may be corrupt or a bad burn [19:50] codemagician: It IS a read only dir on mine too, don't know why, but. If you are using a script for your backup, I suppose you could add a chmod +w ~/.gvfs to it. [19:50] usr13, the permissions constantly change [19:50] mmyers, also check the md5sum on the iso and burn at 1x if possible [19:50] It's a new disk. And no, I didn't. I tried three different images (32 bit 11.14, 64 bit 11.14, 10.12), and all three have the same issue. [19:50] mmyers: check md5sum of .iso or download using .torrent, then burn th cd at the lowest speed possible [19:50] usr13, before i started this conversation it was owned by ? ? [19:50] And all the MD5 sums are correct on all three isos. [19:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [19:50] mmyers: ok, so the problem is your driver [19:50] But I will try again burning the DVD at low speed. [19:51] mmyers, 1x if possible [19:51] share: The driver? [19:51] drive [19:51] sorry [19:51] mmyers: you can also install using a USB [19:51] pendrive I mean [19:51] codemagician: Well, not read only it's execute only. Let's do a bit of research here... [19:51] Any clue how to boot from a pendrive on a Mac?

[19:53] on boot [19:53] BiKER-JENS: screen has an option for what command to run [19:53] But where can put some kind a job, to tell my ubuntu server to run screen rtorrent [19:54] or something like that [19:54] codemagician: This looks interesting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791693 [19:54] hi [19:55] hi [19:55] I have two lists of files, and want to compare them and get a list of files that are in one list but not the other. The files won't necessarily appear in the same order in both lists. How do I do this? [19:55] BiKER-JENS: you could look at rc.local, but it's not something I'd suggest running as a startup job [19:56] Good morning! [19:56] Is there anyone alive here? [19:56] I have to change from my terminal the background wallpaper to black or red color how can i do that? e.g: xsetroot -solid black or #000000 does nothing. [19:56] share: The thing is, I guess, I don't think it's the drive: A Debian install disk works just fine; the only problem is that Debian doesn't seem to have support for the Ethernet Card I have, so I can't really use that unless I find a way to get the driver in. And I tried the Ubuntu disk in a MacBook Pro and it worked fine. It's just this Mac Mini, which is weird.

[19:59] yeah :| === Hudson is now known as HudMI5 [20:00] justinas: I had a similar issue with ubuntu 10.10 when it came out, especially on systems with SSDs.

Quick question; is there anything I could have done / changed / installed or removed that would change file transfer speeds? It used to be lightning fast (few hundred mbps at least) and now it's down to 34mbps (ish) All I've done is remove some unwanted programs and change from gnome to xfce4 (all HDD's are EXT4) [20:03] Hate being the new guy but I think I messed something up [20:03] IamTrying: what has that got to do with using & on xsetroot [20:03] share: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gvfs-backends [20:03] ikonia, for a #!/bin/sh file [20:03] I keep seeing stuff online about swap but when I set my system up, i didn't set up swap [20:03] thomas__: please just state your question - try to keep it on one line [20:03] is that bad? [20:04] thats it im moving to win98 [20:04] pnjh: File transfer speeds? Isnt' that a network issue? [20:04] IamTrying: ok, so stop trying to us it in a script and test it outside the script [20:04] Is it too late to add swap after I've already installed Ubuntu? [20:04] thomasj73: no, make space and create the partition [20:05] share: mkswap? [20:05] !swap | thomas__ [20:05] thomas__: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [20:05] usr13: I don't mean over the internet, I mean for example if I drag and drop files from my external hard drive to my /home folder or vice versa, or my second internal HDD [20:05] thomasj73: Ubuntu creates a swap partition by default. Did you use automatic partitioning in the installer or manual? [20:05] thomasj73: the only problem is that you could lose files while resizing if disc is fragmented [20:05] o [20:05] ikonia, $xsetroot -bg black -solid black ; failed [20:05] I guess. [20:05] Jordan: Manual :( [20:05] IamTrying: are you using compiz/multiple desktop spaces ? [20:06] pnjh: How about doing it via CLI? Can you tell a difference there too? [20:06] Jordan_U: How can I see my partitions? fdisk? [20:06] thomasj73: boot from livecd and then use gparted. i think you can do that [20:06] usr13: I can do very little via CLI (ex windoze noob) :) [20:06] pnjh: Run htop and see if the system is really that busy that it can't transfer files in a timely manor. [20:06] fdisk -l [20:07] thomasj73: I would recommend using GParted from a LiveCD/USB. After you create a swap partition you will need to add an entry for it in your /etc/fstab. [20:07] !fstab | thomasj73 [20:07] thomasj73: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[20:07] pnjh: man mv [20:07] * kyle__ happens to love LVM, and is quite annoyed it's not in there by default. [20:07] pnjh: man mv and man cp [20:07] kyle__: can you cut out the /me commands please [20:07] thomasj73: administration > system monitor File Systems tab :) [20:07] ikonia, how do i check it? I am using default desktop (nothing special). [20:07] ikonia: Sorry, /me didn't know it offended anyone ;P [20:08] usr13: aha! been looking for this kind of function, thanks :) ... [20:08] IamTrying: on 11.04 I'm not sure how many desktops are there by default [20:08] share: nope, no swap :( sudo fdisk -l: /dev/sdb1 * 1 7296 58603520 83 Linux [20:08] ikonia: in unity, 4 desktops. [20:09] ikonia: Same in gnome as well, I believe. [20:09] And that's it\ [20:09] would this be a good place to ask how to install a script for xChat? [20:09] ikonia, 4 desktops, using the 1st one always. [20:09] kyle__: thank you [20:09] IamTrying: that maybe the problem [20:09] thomasj73: do you really need swap? are you gonna hibernate your computer? [20:09] do you use the maximum of RAM [20:09] IamTrying: I'm not sure if xsetroot can do that, need to research [20:09] share: I don't think I do [20:09] share: nope [20:09] thomasj73: so you are fine. [20:10] anybodytellme how to get my speakers to work i have nvidia pci ex card with hdmi audio to my tv [20:10] thomasj73: do you know what swap is? [20:10] :P [20:10] share: You should always have swap. Even if it's not a ton, you should always have it. [20:10] pnjh: A lot of things can be done faster/easier via CLI. [20:10] ikonia, how can you just change the background wallpaper of "login prompt stage" like clicking the username/password (behind there is the wallpaper that i want to change to black. [20:10] IamTrying: the login screen.....? that's not a desktop [20:10] share: space on the hdd to stash sleeping apps until needed to be brought back into memory? [20:10] IamTrying: that's controlled through gdm [20:11] ikonia, yes from login screen till desktop [20:11] ikonia, how can i change the gdm background ? [20:11] ikonia, that will solve my problem. [20:11] usr13: It would appear so, what is htop by the way? terminal tells me I don't have it (and kindly offers to install it for me) [20:11] share: Memory: 307MiB of 1.7GiB Swap: 0 of 0 [20:11] IamTrying: I don't know if there is a tool in unity, [20:12] pnjh: It is a system monitor [20:12] ikonia, /etc/gdm/**/default? [20:12] share: So by the looks of things, I don't need to worry about swap then? [20:12] I'm trying to install a nowplaying script for xChat and Rhythmbox but I have no idea how to circumvent the Ubuntu installing phase, since I know nothing about directory or any of that. [20:12] nothingspecial: thanks [20:12] thomasj73: Do you use a web browser, install the flash plugin? [20:13] kyle__: Chrome, yes I have flash installed [20:13] thomasj73: Then you need swap. [20:13] What is the easy way to reboot, my little shutdown/sleep, etc. menu is gone [20:13] Anyone know what the default virtual machine hypervisor is going to be in oneiric? [20:13] jakemp: press thw power button [20:13] thomasj73: Browsers, even the best of them, gobble up memory, and leak a little of it. Flash, gobbles up even MORE memory, and leaks most of it. [20:14] xangua, nothing happens [20:14] I followed the grub recovery and the options for ubuntu are missing all that is there is the windows partition and some other memory checks. [20:14] maybe it's an oneric thing. [20:14] thomasj73: Leave a page up with a poorly written flash advertisement on it, and in the morning, that craplet could be using 90% of your ram and 2gigs of swap. It happens. [20:14] kyle__: Ok, I will apt-get Gparted [20:15] kyle__, can I do it while logged in or do I have to boot off my thumb drive? [20:15] jakemp: then you should not be asking here [20:15] thomasj73: If there's free space on your drive, you should be able to do it without rebooting. If there isn't, you want to boot off of a thumb drive. [20:15] If i put BACKCOLOR="#000000" in /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default would it change the background wallpaper ? [20:15] thomasj73: You have one huge partition using the whole drive, don't you? [20:16] xangua, I didn't know if it was an oneric thing or a unity thing. [20:16] and +1 still hasn't responded [20:16] kyle__, Oh, I have plenty of freespace, it's a fresh install [20:16] IamTrying: No, because that would change the X background, not the image file over it that is used in the login screen. === bergLNX is now known as bergNIX [20:16] kyle__, yes it is [20:16] kyle__, all formatted ext3 i believe, 1 partition [20:16] thomasj73: Sorry, should have been more clear. Free space as in unpartitioned space. [20:17] kyle__, wow, hmm. How can i change it, i cant find anything to search even in google. :) [20:17] kyle__, oh, no, all partitioned [20:17] hi [20:17] thomasj73: You can actually make a swap file instead, if you don't want to reboot, but if you can,r eboot, use gparted to make a swap partition. Makes life better. [20:17] greetings to all [20:18] IamTrying: Did you lookup gdm custom.conf? [20:18] IamTrying: I'm no expert at it, haven't used it in awhile, but I thought it was pretty well layed out in the gnome pages. [20:18] kyle__, yes i have /etc/gdm/custom.conf with [daemon] [greeter] [20:19] The 4cores monitored in HTOP don't go aboe 5%, 1gig of my 16gig memory used, yet the file transfers still go SLOW. Something was also causing serious interupts in Gnome, stuttering video play back and delay between typing and text appearing on screen, this isn't happening in xfce though [20:19] kyle__, ok to paste pstebin link in channel? [20:19] kyle__, you think that would do that job? Then i know what i should do, i have a list from Fedora last time i did. [20:19] thomasj73: Yea [20:20] IamTrying: I think you use BackgroundImage= in the [greeter] section. [20:20] kyle__, thanks a lot [20:20] kyle__, http://pastebin.com/eYikwZ92 [20:20] pnjh: What does ethtool tell you about your connection speed? [20:21] I'm not referring to internet or network transfer, just between hard disk drives, kyle__ [20:21] hey [20:21] pnjh: Oooh. Damn. [20:21] kyle__, the other disks are the ones in the laptop, winderz on it, I have to convince wife to switch to ubuntu, am running off external drive [20:21] hello === anime is now known as Guest45268 [20:22] hello [20:22] I need a favour [20:22] does anyone know the user ActionParsnip [20:22] bannik: yes, [20:22] is this ubuntu related ? [20:22] Hi. Does anyone have any idea why I sometimes get sound in wine and sometimes don't? I'm using ubuntu 10.10. Right now there is no audio and "Test sound" in winecfg just says "audio test failed". I am not running anything that should be using the sound device to my knowledge. [20:22] can you tell him a big thank you, he helped me fix my mouse and I am very very grateful [20:22] bannik: no problem [20:22] hi all [20:22] :) [20:22] kyle__: for example, a few days ago I moved a folder containing 26gb in a couple of minutes, today it took around 12 minutes, but I can't work out what I have changed /removed / messed up lol :( [20:23] thomasj73: Yea, gparted shoudl fix it. [20:23] kyle__, thank you very much for your time [20:23] what is the program to get twinview in gnome3? [20:23] pnjh, the first transfer was from the main hard driver to a different location on the same driver? [20:23] how to setup graphic monitors [20:23] pnjh, and the second transfer? === IamTrying is now known as LearnUbuntu [20:24] hi [20:24] same drive I meant [20:24] I need to transform a subtitle from to utf-8 .Because local letters are not legible at the moment. I used to write a command like -f iso... -t utf-8 file.srt > file1.srt. But I don't remember it exactly. Can anyone help me with that? [20:24] hey all, is there anyway of detecting usb devices and installingthe drivers manually ? [20:24] coz_: both transfers were from external hard drive (laptop size with usb interface added, to internal sata 6gbps connection hard drive [20:24] if i am trying to set up varnish, and i listen to port 8000 on a non-varnish site (using a vps) does it break all my other domains? or does varnish get skipped over? [20:25] I got one problem you may know how I fix. When I reboot the server dhcp3-server needs to be started each time, why is it not starting on boot? [20:25] I fuggered my desktop and can only run in classic mode... :( When I log in to "normal" mode, I have no menu's, no nothing, all I can do is right-click or ctrl+alt+del and reboot, can anyone tell me how to get my dektop back? [20:25] pnjh, mm and the transfer was to that drive the second time or from that drive? [20:26] has anyone had gui freezing problems with the latest stable version of ubuntu 64bit? my ubuntu keeps half freezing in the sense that I cannot click on anything through my GUI but the server is responding and applications are still OK [20:26] OK, need some help, anyone know if there is a bug about Qt apps not working in Oneiric? [20:26] coz_: I dragged and dropped from external to main hard drive, few days later deleted said folder by mistake, then did exactly the same thing again, except with much slower speed (only difference is that I'm using xfce instead of ubuntu default log in) ...that's xfce4 not the whole xubuntu apt bundle [20:27] hi can anybodytellme how to fix my speakers i have no sound im using a pci ex nvidia card with hdmi audio out thanks [20:27] ok so i did this to restore my grub. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair. Now its back but its missing the ubuntu options. [20:27] pnjh, sounds odd for sure,, usb speeds max at about 21 megs a second I believe,,, could be a caching issue but not sure [20:27] Hm, twidling does not seem to help. [20:28] kyle__: Something else must be happening. [20:28] coz_: 21mb? I'm complaining at my 34mb currently, I had it at around 120mb+ two days ago [20:28] and I want it back!!! lol [20:28] I need to transform a subtitle's code to utf-8 .Because local letters are not legible at the moment. I used to write a command like -f iso... -t utf-8 file.srt > file1.srt. But I don't remember it exactly. Can anyone help me with that? [20:28] pnjh, oh!! now I am confused,, usb2 I believe maxes at 21 megs a second unless this is usb3 [20:29] what is the program to get twinview in gnome3? without nvidia-settings ? [20:29] gumus: You probably used iconv [20:29] wilhart, nvidia-settings is the only one I know of [20:29] justinas: yes! How exactly was the proper order ? [20:29] coz_: hmm how do i install nvidia on gnome3 [20:29] coz_: Yes my bad, this is USB3, and sata 6gbps internal speed. [20:29] gumus: Come on, test yourself. :-) [20:29] apt-get install nvidia ? [20:29] wilhart, well open a terminal and type jockey-gtk [20:30] justinas: Ahh ok. Shame. [20:30] coz_: at root? [20:30] wilhart, NO [20:30] I'm trying to install a nowplaying script for xChat and Rhythmbox but I have no idea how to circumvent the Ubuntu installing phase, since I know nothing about directory or any of that. [20:30] can anyone help? [20:30] wilhart, unless you want to make this a permanent log in with dual monitors then use sudo -i then nvidia-settings [20:31] "sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings " [20:31] coz_: whats -i ? [20:31] coz_: aa log :D [20:31] good usenet programs? [20:31] wilhart, I use dynaimic twinview,, which means each time I log in , i have to set dual monitors manually via nvidia settings because I dont always use dual set up [20:31] pnjh was that directed for me? [20:31] wilhart, sudo -i is the preferred way of getting to a root terminal [20:31] kyle__, i have this in my gdm file but still not working e.g: [greeter] BackgroundType=2 BackgroundImage=1.png BackgroundColor=#000000 [20:32] wilhart, but you use your user password for it [20:32] coz_: ok [20:32] sparks10: that was directed at wilhart, my bad for forgetting to address who it was for :) [20:32] that's alright :P === Vinn0 is now known as Guest82818 [20:33] Uno_, scripts for xchat go in home/.xchat2 [20:33] !pastebin [20:33] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

But still solid color is not working either. === Guest82818 is now known as Vinn0 [20:33] robin0800, I placed the script there but nothing worked after I restarted xchat [20:34] LearnUbuntu: Oh. Humm. [20:34] wilhart, after installing the driver from jockey-gtk,, use the nvidia_current driver by the way,,, then reboot [20:34] hi [20:34] kyle__, its always showing the default wallpaper of 11.04 [20:34] Uno_, whats the script written in? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [20:35] LearnUbuntu: Custom is supposed to override default though. :/ I dunno what it's doing then, unless we should be doing this in a different file. [20:35] wilhart, then open nvidia-settings with sudo -i go to the "X Server display configuration" make sure both monitors are recognized,,, then click on the secondary monitor,, set the resolution and location,, then click "Save to X configuration file" at the bottom of the dialog === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [20:35] has anyone had problems with 10.4 ubuntu desktop gui freezing ( not being able to click on anything ) and eventually locking up system [20:35] wilhart, I believe that will automatically go into dual monitor set up on next log in [20:36] kyle__, some other google search showing mostly like /etc/gdm/presession/Default [20:36] robin0800, .tar.gz ? [20:36] How can I reset Unity back to all default settings? [20:36] in a .tar.gz which compression algr is used first? gzip then tar or the other way around? [20:36] Uno_, you need to unzip it first [20:36] new2net: tarred, then gzipped. [20:36] robin0800, I did [20:37] wilhart: if you have a newer model of nvidia card, adding this to the devices section might add a few more features http://paste.ubuntu.com/684715/ [20:37] new2net: always tar first, then gzip, bzip2, xz. [20:37] Pici: ok, so is tar not really a compression algorithm at all- it's just a container to put a bunch of files into 1 file? [20:37] robin0800, now it's .pl [20:38] new2net: indeed. [20:38] nm unity --reset did it :) [20:39] Hey guys, can anyone explains to me please how to share internet between ubuntu and vista please... [20:40] Uno_, that's a perl script then and should work [20:40] Enissay: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ [20:41] Enissay: Assuming you want to share a connection from Ubuntu to Vista and not the other way around. [20:42] Jordan_U, yes its the way u said... thanks for the link... I'll tell u what :) [20:42] Enissay: You're welcome :) [20:43] does anyone know off hand if there is a way to stop a mdadm resync with ubuntu? [20:43] * FreeNET re [20:43] robin0800, that sucks :[ [20:45] will ubuntu run from flash memory? [20:45] how do I run the directory? I found a similar script and I'm going to try it instead. [20:45] hello guys i have an usb card alfa awuso36h and i want to set to full power [20:45] my distro is debian but ubuntu is debian based [20:45] Hi guys.. Please ow do I make a kernel version load all te time (i.e by default)?? Here's ow it all started... When I installed ubuntu natty everyting worked fine, but after sometime i could no longer hibernate. When my machine tries to hibernate it goes into some sort of lock mode with two lights blinking (num lock and caps lock icons on my keyboard). So I came on here and someone suggested that I change the kernel version by holding shif [20:46] fabiobik: you would have the most luck in #debian [20:46] fabiobik, but its likely you would get more information on t his in #debian than here [20:46] there's an echo in here [20:46] fabiobik, they would have more resources to deal with debian specific issues than we would [20:46] there's an echo in here [20:46] okay [20:47] coz_, thks anyway [20:47] ok I found a usb installer never mind and thanks [20:47] fabiobik, no problem,,, next time dont say it's debian un less it's absolutely necessary,,, however,, debian uses "stable" libraries and would know more about how to solve this than this channel as I mentioned [20:48] coz_, sure [20:48] coz_: It [20:48] coz_: Sup... thanks for the other day.. I now have the effects working perfectly, was too scared to try the cube [20:49] coz_: ... It's dishonest to waste peoples time by lying about which distribution you are using. Please don't suggest that people do so. [20:49] wh1zz0, excellent :) [20:49] coz_: Buh I have the fire burn working perfectly [20:49] Jordan_U, yes I thought that would be an issue ,, thanks for pointing that out [20:49] wh1zz0, cool [20:49] :D [20:49] does anyone happen to have a copy of COOoder handy? the download site is down http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/coooder [20:50] and I'd like a copy === richard is now known as Guest25037 [20:51] nucc1, tell me when it has downloaded so I can delete it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/coooder.tar.gz [20:51] $sudo gdmsetup ; also does not allow to change it? [20:52] Where is the Ubuntu script that runs on user login to the desktop? [20:52] if i am trying to set up varnish, and i listen to port 8000 on a non-varnish site (using a vps) does it break all my other domains? or does varnish get skipped over? [20:52] Jordan_U, the problem is that my ubuntu is connected via wireless, when I create a new wireless network it disconnects from internet! so noway to continue... [20:52] how do I connect to the xChat directory to past plugins? [20:52] nucc1, did you get that? [20:53] is there a way to set a static dns in /etc/resolv.conf while enabling dhcp client? [20:53] Enissay: Why do you need to share the internet connection? How are you trying to connect the Ubuntu machine to the Windows machine? [20:53] coz_, got it [20:53] thanks [20:53] nucc1, no problem [20:53] from what i see /etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten by the dhcp leasing server [20:54] Jordan_U, there's a mac adress filter, so I can only access to the internet using my ubuntu! [20:56] & I want to share the connection using a wire... I just bought one (cross over cable) [20:56] Uno_: why don't you ask in #xchat? [20:57] #xchat [20:57] I didn't know a channel as such existed, sorry [20:58] Enissay: Then create the shared connection on the Wired interface. The video isn't directly applicable to your situation but it shows the conecept and I expect you'll be able to figure out how to share to ethernet rather than wireless on your own. If not, feel free to ask further questions though :) [20:58] hi, I'm looking for a way to create folders with bash script in hex count (mkdir 00 mkdir 01 mkdir 02 and so on, until mkdir ff ): an idea on how to do this ? :/ [20:58] Uno_: no worries, I didn't want to sound harsh :) [20:59] re [20:59] Is anyone here using a usb device to tune and watch atsc tv (north american digital broadcast)? [21:03] Arkados: Many ways of doing it. Should we even go into, why the hell you want to do that? [21:04] kyle__: sha1-hash filenames of over 20 000+ files, need to "clean" all this [21:04] Hey guys, I'm having an issue with sound. I don't have sound for startup or media, but youtube and ZSNES work [21:04] Where should I put a line of bash that need to run as root on user login? [21:05] Arkados: OK. So do you know the seq command? [21:05] How can I change my "host name" in natty? [21:05] user@user-virtual-machine:~$ [21:05] That host name. [21:05] didn't know it before kyle__ , gonna RTFM :) [21:06] Jordan_U, there's a little problem, I fired network manager a long time ago, and I'm using wicd who doesnt seems to be able to do that ! [21:06] Arkados: More or less, use seq and printf. [21:07] should the "create usb installation stick on ubuntu" instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download work without admin privileges? I'm reading the policykit profile for usb-creator package and it seems to me that it asks a password. if that is the case, should the web page mention that? [21:07] Does anyone know of free/opensource software that does something similar to MRTG? http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/ [21:07] Enissay: I can't help you then. [21:07] lol.../etc/hostname. Well, that was easy. [21:07] ok thanks kyle__ :) [21:07] Arkados: I banged it out quick on my console, and could share, but it will be good for your console-kung-foo skills to do this on your own. [21:08] fishscene: munin at least. see for example http://munin.openstreetmap.org/ in action [21:08] ok, Thanks! [21:08] Jordan_U, what if I reinstalled it... could please help me through that... how to install NM and fire correctly wicd [21:08] OK, here's another one. Say I execute 'sudo foo > bar', why does bar end up owned by the user ant not by root? [21:09] lindi-: They should not work without admin privileges but when followed from a liveCD environment no password will be asked. Have you seen anyone have problems following the directions because they don't mention entering your password? [21:09] B0g4r7: ">" is managed by your shell before sudo is even executed [21:09] Jordan_U, well, I'll do it using synaptic [21:09] Jordan_U: no, I'm just trying to understand how this works [21:09] So, uh, what's a proper way to have bar be written by root? [21:09] Enissay: It depends on how you "fired" network-manager. If you just removed the package then re-installing it should get it back. [21:09] Hello [21:10] sudo -i? Or is there a better method? [21:10] How comes i can not make use of my large usb-stick ? - i wanna put a portable ubuntu on it and have lots of space for applications and settings, but i'm not allowed to use above 4GB for the persistant file, and the stick is a 16GB one.. [21:10] B0g4r7: sudo sh -c 'echo foo > bar' [21:10] !hostname | B0g4r7 [21:10] B0g4r7: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [21:10] B0g4r7: echo foo | sudo tee /path/to/file [21:10] is this a place to ask about doing software development in ubuntu or should i do that in -ot channel? [21:10] 'k, thx. [21:11] Jordan_U: anyways, thanks for confirming that it needs admin privileges [21:11] Jordan_U: I thought I found a security bug in usb-creator :) [21:11] lindi-: You're welcome :) [21:11] Serraphyn, there's a ubuntu-dev channel [21:12] Serraphyn: Better in -ot, and they will possibly steer you toward a better channel depending on your actual needs. [21:12] anyone able to help me? [21:12] Thanks [21:13] hi [21:13] kryl, hi [21:13] please how to test if a zone is registered from command line ? [21:13] anyone able to help me? [21:14] robin0800: #ubuntu-devel is for discussion between those developing Ubuntu itself, the topic specifically states that it is not for those just looking to develop software for Ubuntu. [21:14] Rickard42: Please post your question. Repeatedly saying the same thing won't help. [21:14] Anyone know how I can make an older kernel version boot all the time without having to select it everytime during boot? [21:14] How comes i can not make use of my large usb-stick ? - i wanna put a portable ubuntu on it and have lots of space for applications and settings, but i'm not allowed to use above 4GB for the persistant file, and the stick is a 16GB one.. === Pleuguin is now known as Pleuguin_ [21:15] Rickard42: I would recommend doing a normal Ubuntu install rather than using a persistant Live install. [21:15] Rickard42, Are you sure it isn't talking about the Ubuntu / partition? You might want to manually edit the partitions yourself, filling up the rest of the space with /home. [21:16] Rickard42: Among other things Live installs, even persistant ones, cannot be properly updated. [21:16] I don't know; but without a persistant file, i won't be able to save changes or? [21:16] Alright maybe someone has this same issue as me [21:16] I am just trying to get ubuntu live to boot off a usb drive [21:16] It's rather confusing [21:17] !details | Marcel [21:17] Marcel: Please give us full details.

[21:17] ive tried this, format to fat32, then used various suggested program(on windows), to install live cd to the usb for booting [21:18] I have an issue, want details of it? [21:18] Did you use unetbootin? [21:18] usb-creator, unetbootin, universal usb installer [21:18] That's what I used [21:18] The one time I was able to get it to boot, it did something very funky [21:19] I had some funky results for a while [21:19] It paused on a line that started with "Net:" for several minutes [21:19] I think I tried Live and it didn't work [21:19] Try another type [21:19] which do you suggest? [21:19] Ahhhhh........... ......crap......... ...darn floody channel............ [21:19] What are your options? [21:19] for some reason ubuntu 9.04 isnt detecting a usb flash drive I've just plugged in [21:19] Marcel: Please write your entire comment in one line rather than splitting it up into multiple comments. It's difficult to follow otherwise. [21:20] Chotaz: Ubuntu 9.04 is no longer supported. Please Upgrade. [21:21] Jordan_U: no channel for older support? [21:21] I'm using 11.04 desktop amd64 iso image trying to make it boot from a usb drive, followed the wiki and various other sources one at a time, have had no luck. The one time I was able to get it to boot no applications would launch(Install-ubuntu would not open either). [21:21] !gnome-do [21:21] Chotaz: Correct. Why not upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 or 11.04? [21:21] Marcel: How much RAM do you have? [21:22] 4gb [21:22] Jordan_U: because I'm just running ubuntu to try to reformat a flash drve I'm having trouble acessing due to being formated in a mac specific partition I believe [21:23] Marcel: Live will download from the internet as you're installing, iirc. There's a better option while you're putting it onto the flash, though I don't remember which one. [21:23] Chotaz: Unfortunately 9.04 is simply not supported here. [21:23] next question, does anyone know how to export the current monitor configuration to something I could run as a bash script? Ubuntu has an annoying habit of resetting it about 2 minutes after logging in [21:23] ignore the next question part, that was pasted :) [21:23] Matty502: well i think that one is called minimal [21:24] Jordan_U: thanks for the help tho, I'm gonna search for my 11.04 CD and boot from ti then I'll be back again :) I jsut grabbed the first I found : [21:24] :) [21:24] I don't remember minimal being an option, Marcel [21:24] minimal is the one that downloads from the internet [21:25] Marcel: Did you verify the md5sum of the iso? Are you sure that the flash drive is good? [21:26] ive tried 2 seperate drives, not sure how i would verify the drives are fine [21:26] Marcel: If you have the same problem with multiple drives then that's not likely the problem. Did you verify the iso? [21:27] i tried two disk images as well === ipad is now known as Santolina [21:27] dont have md5 sum program on hand the machine is offline now [21:27] I'd simply try clicking another option [21:28] Jordan_U I'm on 11.04 now, the drive still isnt detected and automounted. [21:28] Chotaz: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [21:29] which disk image should i download? [21:29] can I have two firefox window open with different profiles? [21:29] Hi guys. I'm trying to install libcurl-dev but with no luck. I'm on maverick and the libcurl4-dev and the other libcurl packages are not real packages [21:29] they point to libcurl4-gnutls-dev but still no dough getting the headers [21:29] Jordan_U: right after plugging in the drive, or It just doesn't matter? [21:29] s5s: what does "no dough" mean? === cereal is now known as cereal|Away [21:30] Chotaz: Right after would be better, but any time after is OK. [21:30] s5s: and why do you want this package? [21:30] no luck I guess [21:30] !away > cereal|Away [21:30] cereal|Away, please see my private message [21:30] jrib: does it matter why I want the package? I need it for development obviously :\ [21:30] can I have two firefox window open with different profiles? [21:30] hi can anybody helpme with no sound im running 11.04ubn and nvidia pci exp hdmi audio out to tv [21:31] where can i find the md5 sum? [21:31] s5s: yes, I ask because often people ask because they are compiling a package in the repositories and are not aware of APT. I just wanted to rule that out [21:31] !md5sums | Marcel [21:31] Marcel: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [21:31] luc_: do u have any speakers hooked up? [21:31] how do i download utorrent [21:31] never installed on ubuntu before [21:32] jrib: yeah. I'm using aptitude but for some reason curl-config --cflags shows nothing (it's supposed to show where the headers are) [21:32] no imusing the tv speakers [21:32] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/hKVcujAM [21:33] !anki [21:33] luc_: you said you are using hdmi output/input correct? [21:33] yes [21:33] luc_: what have you tried so far? [21:33] Jordan_U, It is working now, thanks so much for your help :) [21:33] ok well once it re downloads i will check the md5 [21:34] Enissay: You're welcome :) [21:34] jrib: I think I found it. Strange the curl-config is broken I think. IT's supposed to show /usr/include/curl/ [21:34] DeltaEpsilon: should be able to by using the profile parameter firefox -P or firefox -ProfileManager. see firefox --help [21:34] s5s: right, I was going to say that installing the -dev package you mentioned earlier should drop the files in /usr/include/curl [21:34] how do you make sure sun-jave-6-sdk installed correctly? [21:35] s5s: note that pkg-config --libs libcurl also returns an empty line [21:35] the ckeck list on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [21:35] jave -version? [21:35] java [21:35] s5s: sorry, I meant pkg-config --cflags libcurl [21:35] hellote? [21:36] jrib: hmm [21:36] Jordan_U: I see the device brand and model appear at least 3 tiems on the bottom of the content of that apstebin, I just don't know what to do with the rest of the info [21:36] what should i format the drive to fat 32? [21:36] s5s: I have never use libcurl. You are certain there needs to be something returned here? [21:36] I have two graphics cards running on my system but I can only use one [21:37] the monitors I have attached to the second graphics card doesn't seem to work [21:37] md5 sum matches [21:38] s5s: my guess is this blank output is ok as gcc should check /usr/include/ by default, no? [21:40] Chotaz: Is that the complete dmesg output? [21:40] yes, I will recheck [21:40] Jordan_U: yes it is, I just rechecked [21:42] Chotaz: Can you pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a"? [21:44] hello === austin is now known as Guest47911 [21:44] it must have been that pc or a bad image file, i redownloaded an confirmed the md5sum and it works fine now =/ [21:44] how do i tell what bit system i am i have [21:44] not the software but hardware [21:44] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/nHvCQrk2 [21:45] i dont think thats what i wanted xD' [21:45] what is the official channel of Webmin control panel ? [21:46] no idea [21:46] Chotaz: And the output of "sudo parted -l"? [21:47] hi, i cannot connect evolution. Evolution believes internet connection is not available, but it is. Any idea? [21:48] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/vH6svHWr [21:48] javier_: Are you using a proxy server? [21:48] no [21:49] usr13: no, I'm not [21:49] Chotaz: None of the drives listed there seem to be using an Apple Partition Map so I think you can rule out that being the problem. [21:49] Chotaz: Does the drive you're interested in appear to be listed there? [21:50] Jordan_U: yes, it is that SanDisk Cruzer with 16GB I believe [21:50] Jordan_U: I rather sure because its the only 16GB flash drive listed there. [21:50] .I'm [21:50] can i securely disable ATA/ATAPI/MFM while compiling a kernel? i want to run it on my netbook, 100% sata based [21:51] Chotaz: Parted wasn't able to detect any filesystem on the partition on that drive. Parted understands hfsplus (used by OSX) and most other filesystems so that most likely means that there isn't a valid filesystem there. Could it or the partition table have been corrupted somehow? [21:51] javier_: What is the exact error message? [21:51] hi everyone === marco is now known as Guest26738 [21:52] have another more programs than anki on linux? [21:52] yes [21:52] which? [21:52] Jordan_U: well my windows laptop tells me I have to format the drive everytime I try to access it, sO im starting to think that is the case, is there anything esle I can try to get it mounted or atleast access somehow the files stored on the dvice? [21:52] u mother [21:52] usr13: Not even an error message. I open evolution, and it's open, but won't do a thing. Can't receive mails or send because it's disconnected [21:53] javier_: there's an option 'work offline' [21:53] javier_: i think it's in 'File' [21:53] can i securely disable ATA/ATAPI/MFM while compiling a kernel? i want to run it on my netbook, 100% sata based [21:54] i was looking for that. But only thing I find is the opposite, work online, but it's disabled and can't use it [21:54] Chotaz: When did you last use the drive? If it's just a problem with the partition table then testdisk might be able to fix it, and if not then photorec (which comes with the testdisk package) may still be able to recover some files. [21:54] ksx4system, pretty sure SATA depends on that support, so no. [21:55] for free sex -> contact me in pvt [21:56] Never a dull moment! [21:57] Jordan_U: it was given to me this way a friend of mine used it to pass me some files for a uni work === hacked_ is now known as vinces_ [21:59] usr13: i was looking for that. But only thing I find is the opposite, work online, but it's disabled and can't use it === derp is now known as HyacinthBouquet [22:00] Jordan_U: how do I install that package? === esmo_ is now known as ismailov [22:01] I need to tether my ubuntu desktop to my ubuntu laptop so I can get drivers on my desktop. Is there an easy way to do this? [22:01] Chotaz: Use Ubuntu Software Center or "sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install testdisk" [22:04] <_cb> Installed webmin on 11.04 server and found out that it wants root account (locked in ubuntu) and password. Should I unlock root account or is there other way to use webmin? === vinces_ is now known as vinces [22:05] !webmin [22:05] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [22:05] <_cb> bummer, are there ubuntu supported alternatives to webmin? [22:06] still with a problem in Evolution: I cannot get it to work online. Doesn't detect that is connected to internet. Any ideas? [22:09] I need to tether my ubuntu desktop to my ubuntu laptop so I can get drivers on my desktop. Is there an easy way to do this?

[22:14] how can I reinstall evolution? [22:15] javier_, aptitude reinstall evolution [22:15] javier_, just prefix sudo [22:18] evolution only works offline. Someone knows what can be happening? [22:19] <_cb> I want to set up an Active Directory print/server like setup using Ubuntu server for XP and ubuntu clients. Is Samba + Open LDAP the correct approach? [22:19] time zone in gnome clock applet - anyone know how? [22:19] jamesw: no more time clock applet, there is a time indicator now [22:19] location based gnome time? [22:19] Woohoo! Gnome3 is purty! [22:20] gah, okay, please substitute my wording for the new indicator [22:20] Fuggered my Unity and couldn't get it back to rights so I installed Gnome3... man it's sweet! [22:20] <_cb> javier_ when you click on file does it say work offline or work online? [22:21] _cd: only work online option, but can't press it, because it's dissabled [22:21] thomas__, gnome3? unity is gnome3 [22:21] thomasj73, gnome3? unity is gnome3 [22:22] truth...unity is the shell base for gnome3 :) [22:22] how much swap size with 4gb? or without swap? [22:22] utusan, well, the default config of it that comes with Ubuntu Wally I screwed up royally and couldn't get it back to normal :( [22:23] test [22:23] xangua: do you know how to show gmt indicator in time zone applet? [22:23] utusan, so I had to download something else... now, i believe, I should be able to do sudo apt-get remove unity | apt-get install unity (or something along those lines anyways) [22:23] jamesw: i no longet use applets, only indicators [22:24] xangua: do you know how to show gmt indicator in time zone indicator? [22:24] lol [22:24] :S [22:24] or time zone i should say [22:25] CompizConfig == Evil (If yer a noob like me!) lol [22:25] thomasj73: agreed, it is not user friendly [22:26] <_cb> javier_ and the same computer you are on now? Connected to the internet? [22:26] _cb: yes, that's it [22:26] So, I guess my question is, can I do sudo apt-get remove Unity | sudo apt-get install Unity to repair my unity shell? [22:26] thomasj73: Try "unity --reset". [22:27] Jordan_U, I tried that, it gets to a certain point and hangs forever [22:27] Jordan_U, Do I have to be logged into or out of the session I am trying to repair? [22:28] thomasj73: I would expect that you'd need to be in the session you're trying to repair. And the command is expected to "hang" as unity will continue running. [22:29] Jordan_U, Ok, I will have to try to get into term in the Shell, I have no menu's, no icons, not anything. All I can do is ctrl+alt+del [22:30] <_cb> javier_ if you do edit-->preferences what is on your mail account? [22:30] _cb: maybe evolution is checking for an internet connection in "network manager" while I'm using "wicd". Could this be? I hid network manager indicator, do you know how can I get it back in order use it to check if it changes something? === gary_ is now known as Guest13140 [22:30] thomasj73: ctlr+alt+F1, log in, run "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --reset", ctlr+alt+F7 (possibly some other number like F8 or F9). [22:30] I have no sound in startup or media players, but youtube and XSNES work alright. Made a thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1840020 [22:31] If anyone can help~ [22:31] Jordan_U, Thank you for your help! I'll give that a shot! [22:32] thomasj73: You're welcome. [22:32] <_cb> javier_ I am not familiar with wicd so not sure if that could be root cause [22:32] I've only been running Ubuntu for 4 day's now, I was sure I'd fugger something up quick [22:32] _cb: in preferences there is: activated clicked, the name of my account, default clicked and imap [22:33] _cb: but you know how to get to network manager (default ubuntu network manager) after I dissabled the indicator? or how to get the indicator back= [22:33] ? [22:33] Matty502: does sound work on live cd¿ [22:34] im learning how to compile the linux kernel and install it along with a bootloader(grub2) from scratch, fun stuff [22:34] <_cb> javier_ sorry, no. I suspect that your hunch about wicd is correct. Probably something there is leading evolution to believe it is not connected. One other place to check is edit->preferences->network [22:35] why is it windows is so dominant in the market of consumer pc's?

[22:35] bye [22:35] unfortunately that means on boot i need to manually run dhclient, which means i can't reset the server remotely [22:36] how do I fix that? [22:36] xangua: I don't have a CD ROM [22:36] Matty502: Then your bluray reader. [22:37] I don't have anything that takes a disk [22:37] It's a netbook [22:38] someone knows how to use ubuntu's default network manager if I hid the indicator? [22:38] Matty502, can you boot from USB ? [22:38] test34: yeah, why is that relevant? [22:38] javier_: don't hide inditacor ;) [22:38] javier_: sudo NetworkManager from CLI [22:38] Matty502: because why in first place you needed to install some alsa stuff¿ [22:39] For pSX [22:39] eein: i get "NetworkManager is already running". But how to see it, to open it? [22:39] Matty502, instead of a live CD maybe you can use a live USB ? [22:39] Should I just remove ALSA altogether, since that's where my problems started? [22:40] oh yeah nm it will still run as a PID even though it isnt showing [22:41] Is there a wine channel? I want to know if it is possible to run certain Steam games on Ubuntu [22:42] Woohoo!

[22:58] or is it just my home area? [22:58] hi... I am new to ubuntu and I'm currently looking for an open source tracking software for videos. Basically I work in a behavioral psychology lab and we do a lot of watching animals move in mazes and things like that, but I would be much happier if a lot of this information could be automated [22:59] does anyone know of any application that does something along those lines? [22:59] urist_, you are looking for more then just motion detection? [23:00] yeah, something that could detect where an animal is at different points in time [23:00] Monotoko: Stay. [23:00] quin, thank you! :) [23:00] even better if it could tell body orientation and things like that [23:00] urist_, sorry cant help.. [23:01] yeah. something tells me there is probably not enough people interested in such app to warrant writing something like that [23:02] I figured with a lot of attention now with kinetic and those other video trackers there may be something available for linux [23:02] urist_: This reminds me someones python script for puplis tracking. [23:02] urist_, but it should be fairly easy to write something using OpenCV: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ [23:02] i'll take a look [23:03] my programming skills are rather undevelopped but I'm always up to challenges [23:03] Microsoft Kinect for the 360? [23:03] fishscene, yeah somehting along those lines [23:03] it would be similar technology [23:03] probably even simpler really [23:03] you need only 2D right? [23:04] yeah only 2d [23:04] usually we can track animals from above [23:04] kinect would be overkill but if there is an existing app it might be worth it [23:05] yeah, I've used apps on windows but they tend to cost 9-10k for something basic [23:05] if you want multiple tracking they can easy get up to 20k [23:06] i got two screens(extended desktop) and the second is widescreen standing on its side, so i told ubuntu that its vertical, it works fine, but the wallpaper area of the first horizontal smaller one, goes all the way down to the size of the vertical one [23:06] the problem is, that the icons in my desktop go to the hidden area [23:08] urist_, do you need muiltiple tracking? can they cross paths? [23:08] i dont need multiple tracking but it would be nice, no they wouldn't cross paths if I did [23:09] usually the need for multiple tracking comes from using one camera to monitor 4-8 animals at once [23:09] in separate mazes ? [23:09] but each animal is confined to a closed arena [23:09] does anyone knows an solution to convert my laptop wireless card into an acess point? [23:09] ok [23:09] to connect my android?

Is this done via apt-get? [23:16] fabiobik, maybe you need to root your android device to be able to use an adhoc network [23:16] i dissabled network indicator in ubuntu 11.04.

[23:34] hi guys, anyone know any good commandline twitter clients? [23:34] hey I'm having troubles with the mameGUI front end in the software repo. I was wondering if any of you have had better luck using mame on 11.04 [23:37] vojure: have you tried twitter-cmdline? [23:37] rawfodog, i have no idea about 11.04 specifically (never used it), but I'd recommend you try and find a version of sdlmame for ubuntu, xmame is no longer supported. Good luck. [23:38] rulhop: no haven't tried it, any good? [23:38] so.. [23:38] k thanks zykotick9 [23:38] vojure: i haven't tried it, just read about it [23:38] i try to get alsa and pulseaudio to work [23:38] i hear sound only from hydrogen.. [23:39] so i followed this guide.. [23:39] Does ubottu have any information about where logs are kept for different things? [23:39] rulhop: thanks, i'll check it out [23:39] I've just had a major system crash which I want to pastebin the stack from, and don't know where to find the stack [23:40] and after trying to open "default sound card" without success i figured out that the files are empty [23:40] both $ asoundconf and asoundrc [23:41] why? and how to make my sound work? i'm using ubuntu 11.04 [23:41] i better off configuring oss? [23:42] erez_: I think those programs are for alsa. Ubuntu uses pulseaudio [23:42] afaik ubuntu dont even support oss any more [23:42] ? [23:42] anyone? [23:42] you dont need asoundrc btw [23:42] unless you confged it [23:43] what does the volume levels look like in alsamixer? [23:47] hey all [23:47] anyone use a dock with ubuntu ? [23:47] can i use only pulse audio without alsa? [23:47] no [23:47] have you checked alsamixer [23:48] what package has starutil in it? I can't find it. [23:52] jeeves_moss, i don't find a starutil for ubuntu/debian either. Good luck. [23:52] Hey people! [23:52] zykotick9, thanks. I think it's for another OS control, it's for the RadiusManager package. [23:53] jeeves_moss, do you know what startos is? I've never heard of it, but it "appears" that perhaps where it's from [23:53] have a ubuntu 11.04 Question, has anyone figured out how to rotate the touch input with the screen [23:53] zykotick9, no idea. as I said, it's a built in thing for RadiusManager [23:54] Hi, I am having problems accessing my ubuntu server via ssh, using sshfs from an ubuntu client, error "read: Connection reset by peer". Has anyone ever come across this before? [23:55] oh sorry forgot to mention that i have an acer iconia tab w500 not running windows! [23:55] danhorniblow, does Gnome's SSH connection work? Places / Server / select SSH [23:56] hello everybody [23:56] I can ssh to my server with no problems, but I want to mount a directory that is on the server to my client using sshfs but it just give me the error "read: Connection reset by peer". [23:57] i think i was targeted by someone thru irc chatroom. Any way to confirm if my laptop was compromised? [23:57] i have a windows computer with bad hard drive but the restore partition is fine... how i can export that? [23:57] it was automatically shutdown two times! [23:58] g0dzilla, check auth.log maybe [23:58] do you run ssh? [23:58] no [23:59] i doubt you were hacked [23:59] maybe its dodgy hardware? [23:59] i dont think! [23:59] shall i share auth.log ? [23:59] read it yourself lol
