[00:01] first time it instantly shutdown [00:01] and second time it totally hanged! [00:01] could be hardware [00:01] i have a windows computer with bad hard drive but the restore partition is fine... how i can export that? [00:01] if it instantly shutdown [00:03] thank goodnes for ubuntu classic [00:03] :) [00:03] djjonex: maybe just copy all the files off the partition [00:06] which is faster dd or ddrescue?

Im on an iphone with an IRC client, thats how desparate I am [00:18] hi [00:18] sorry, had to dash off to put the baby to sleep [00:20] hidnshadows: You shouldn't need a touchpad to get into IRC. [00:20] My baby has a 3Ghz processor [00:21] hi guys, i have question: how can you start an app as service ? [00:22] what does this means? Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend. Please close any other legacy packaging t [00:22] i want ubuntu to start with realvnc running [00:22] phong_: what application do you want to start ? [00:22] ok is gddrescue gui based or still shell [00:22] hidnshadows, what kind of laptop? [00:22] example: blabla [00:22] phong_: you would need to run that in daemon mode and use an "init script" to start with upstart when the machine boots [00:22] ikonia, i'm noob show me [00:23] let say i have app name iis "blabla" [00:23] hidnshadows, hp's have a button that disables the touch pad others have the same thing but with function keys like fn + f7 [00:23] anyone know how to determine which process a window belongs to? [00:23] phong_: it's quite complex, the easy cheeat would be to put it in the file /etc/rc.local [00:23] Hey Guys!! [00:23] put what? [00:23] phong_: the startup options for vnc [00:24] ikonia, just curious are you an acer iconia tab expert? if so I have a question [00:24] rampage73: no [00:24] i got an error that says "error reading pidfile!" but i don't know what it's from... [00:24] ikonia, come on, that is a text file.. has the 'exit 0' [00:24] ikonia, ok thanks [00:25] what do i put there? [00:25] phong_: correct, it's a text file, where if you put the startup options for vnc in, it will get executed at startup [00:25] put the path to it? [00:25] phong_: that works, [00:25] oh [00:25] ok thanks [00:26] where is epiphany's plugin dir? ie for libflashplugin.so [00:26] anyone here know how to rotate the touch input on an acer iconia tablet? xrandr works for everything but the touch screen [00:26] billybigrigger: try locate libflashplugin.so [00:26] is there anything better for a "remote" linux desktop session than vnc? [00:26] billybigrigger: you can install flashplayer from repositories [00:27] ry, nx? or nomachine [00:27] ry: ssh (but it's command line) [00:27] ya i dont want to [00:27] hi alll!

[00:32] edbian, popup error [00:32] tanath: Mhmmm, Kill some processes that you suspect might be it and wait to see if it closes [00:32] edbian, i have no suspects [00:32] tanath: What are you running? Nothing? [00:32] edbian, popped up on login [00:33] edbian, only other clue is that gnome-settings-daemon isn't working [00:34] edbian, i suppose it could be that, but how can i determine if that's the case? there must be some way to determine which process a window belongs to [00:34] tanath: strange... [00:34] Qual distribuição vocẽs usam? [00:34] tanath: you can start killing processes (listed in ps -e) and see which one makes the window disappear [00:35] . [00:35] tanath: For every processes (with a process id) there is a file that represents that process ID. [00:35] edbian, i killed gnome-settings-daemon (my only suspect) and the window is still there... [00:36] tanath: then IDK :( [00:36] edbian, and now it works, when i rerun it.. [00:36] . [00:36] hi, if I install Hardy Heron, can I still get packages such as phpmyadmin? would it be only the most up to date version or I could get any? I'd need PMA 3.x before 3.1 [00:37] would be nice if they made a vmware view agent for linux/unix [00:38] Quick question, after I launch the Unity interface I still have the lower bar from Gnome, the one with the workspace switcher,etc. [00:38] i just lost my mouse for some reason... anyone know how to fix? [00:38] so what kind of setup is required on either end to use ssh -X, and how does that compare to this "NX" .. and does NX refer to the "nomachine.com" software? === kat is now known as newname [00:38] how can I get rid of that except deleting it ?

I managed it (somehow.... :S) [00:50] I have a question, I am trying to use ndiswrapper to install a new driver for my intel ultimate n wifi link 5300 but my chipset doesnt match up with the one on the webpage I am looking at. Does anyone know how to to this? [00:50] jmsfnch, yeah, im reading now about some MAPI plugins. [00:51] #ubuntu-us-az [00:51] Gwildor: It's a messy game even with a windows box! [00:51] hear hear! [00:54] does the mic work in flash for anyone? [00:55] xangua: what's the primary difference between gnome and kde? [00:55] aaah....all the ui¿ [00:56] the primary difference is that they are different also this is not the proper channel to ask in. [00:56] typically KDE has a lot of configurable options, whereas GNOME treats you like a child and gives you the settings it knows are best for you [00:56] see !ot [00:57] ionite: That is like asking what is the different between English and Russian. It is different layouts and such. [00:57] BrandonBolton: and the 'R's are backwards [00:57] BrandonBolton: but gnome is said to be more restrictive? [00:57] !ot [00:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:58] dooglus: Plus, a little thing called Russian Reversal ;) ionite: That is true, Ubuntu in my opinion is child proof. That is why people say it is more user friendly. [00:59] Hey, anyone tried out Ubuntu 11.10 yet? [01:00] zetec452: It formatted my hard drive when I tried to upgrade to it. [01:00] zetec452: #ubuntu+1 for stuff about oneiric :) [01:00] does anybody have an idea of where XChat stores configuration? [01:00] zetec452: Have they worked out all the bugs yet with 11.10? If not, better to wait until they do ... [01:01] F1skr: ~/.xchat2 [01:01] you never work out all the bugs.. :) [01:01] thanks [01:02] For a alpha build it seems solid. Upgraded my laptop from 11.04 to 11.10 and everything is running ok. [01:02] GUI seems a little snappier too. [01:02] ubuntu erased one of my partition when I rebooted.. I had the encrypted swap and one of my drive switch from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb and it started to use a data partition as a swap partition even if the partition type was not swap... [01:02] zetec452: discussion and some support for 11.10 is in #ubuntu+1 [01:02] Oh, ok. Cheers. I'll hop over there. [01:03] Next month I'm gonna miss the classic theme.... Unity's launcher is very inefficient right now in Natty [01:03] and the mac-like menu bars [01:04] Schala: inefficient how? [01:05] when you know what you're looking for, it's even easier to find than before [01:05] i just use one of the classic type gnome menu indicator-applets or tools :) [01:05] well before going back to classic I found myself having to type in search for apps I wanted to use, and I really hate pinning stuff to launchers... especially this one because it gives invisible icons when I try it [01:06] When you don't know what you're looking for, it can be a bit of a mind game... [01:06] some apps launch oddly. so dont pin very well. [01:06] it's not a mind game [01:06] noticed that with some java apps [01:06] it's just a bit more clicking [01:06] funny... I'd assume this would make it easier [01:07] I was wondering if someone could help me configure a 16GB thumb drive that I have been having issues with. It's a PNY flash drive. I can't copy-and-paste or save anything to it. I don't think owner permissions for it are set. How do I change this? [01:07] wsbl-uhpd651: what filesystem is on the thumbdrive? [01:07] for me it just seems Unity did to Ubuntu what the Ribbon did to Windows menu bars [01:08] Schala, i like that analogy BUT your feelings about Unity or OT in this channel [01:08] ok [01:08] sorry [01:09] will there be like a Gnubuntu or something when Unity takes over entirely? [01:09] for GNOME stuff? [01:09] unity runs on top of gnome... [01:09] Schala: I would expect xubuntu and lubuntu to continue, and you will probably be able to install gnome off them from the repos [01:10] hmm... well then will 11.10 allow disability of unity? [01:10] Schala: there was a project for that on launchpad, but I dont know if it will gain traction [01:10] hmm [01:10] Schala, 11.10 won't have classic [01:10] Schala: just selet somthing else at the Login screen. one you instll somthing else. :) [01:11] something else being like... a different theme like KDE/Xfce? [01:11] Dr_Willis: ext4, which is what is should be (ideally), right? [01:12] wsbl-uhpd651: when using ext2.3.4 or other fs that support linux permissions/ownership. you must chown/chmod the files the same asyou would on thehard drive. [01:12] wsbl-uhpd651: if your owner cant access the files. fix the ownership or modes. [01:14] Dr_Willis: do you mean like KDE or Xfce? [01:15] Hi all, meld is opening only when I use sudo with it. Why is that? === Gremlin is now known as CheckMate21 [01:16] Has anyone noticed that Firefox 6.0.2 locks up on facebook when using the new facebook status "where are you" feature?

[01:18] I'd probably mess that up heh [01:18] trivial to do once you learn the basics [01:18] CheckMate21: i just saw a tweet about facebook sucking in chrome too [01:18] I don't even know how to modify permissions for /var/www so I can put my web server to use [01:19] Schala: short answer for that is.. you dont. You use the groups feature to add the users you need to the right group to have permissions to alter those files [01:19] xangua: this feature seems to be ok in Chrome oddly enough [01:19] hm ok [01:19] via properties? [01:19] I see this 'how to i write to www' asked in here every so often. theres got go be some info on it at the askubuntu.com and forums.

[01:40] Lets say I connect two servers to this switch. How would the ip addresses work for accessing each seperate one. === latta is now known as jelatta [01:41] like if I wanted to ssh into each server. [01:41] princej88: I thought you were going to ask in ##networking.. [01:41] HisRoyalFreshnes: how about you uninstall it then [01:41] well one guy said ask. nevermind. off to ##networking [01:41] I'd love to [01:41] princej88: each machine gets its own ip. same as if they were connected to the router.. [01:41] If you could tell me how, I'll do it [01:41] the switch dosent matter, [01:42] princej88, the router has a built in switch by adding a switch you have two :) [01:42] princej88: Yea the switch should be transparent once you have everything connected correctly [01:42] HisRoyalFreshnes: at least summarize the problem. === fr3dst3r is now known as My_MoM_Says_IM_T [01:42] Thanks @Dr_Willis . Let say I was port forwarding the port that the switch was connected to on the router. That should still work right? [01:42] Dr_Willis: I lost most sound since installing ALSA via a script I found on the Ubuntu forum. [01:43] princej88: yes [01:43] princej88: port forwarding goes to the ip# - the network hardware shouldent matter. === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away [01:43] wireless, wired, whatever...

The problems started when I installed ALSA via a script I found on the forum, so I'm thinking that killing ALSA would be more helpful [01:55] pulse audio runs on top of alsa. [01:55] Killing alsa = no sound. [01:55] I think starting with 11.10 I'll use Kubuntu [01:55] HisRoyalFreshnes: why did you mess with alsa in the first place? [01:55] All I know is that it started with ALSA [01:55] HisRoyalFreshnes: following ghides from 3 years ago is never any good [01:55] guides* [01:56] Dr_Willis: trying to get pSX working, it's part of what it demands I have [01:56] even guides written for an earlier release is not a good idea. [01:56] I'm on PCXR now though, so that's not necessary [01:56] HisRoyalFreshnes: alsa is allready there by default.. so the whole things sounds odd... [01:56] Would it help if I showed you where I got the script from? [01:57] that script could have done all sorts of weird things. best bet would be to reinstall. unless the script has some sort of undo option. [01:57] You mean a complete wipe?

[02:05] stephenmac7: sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [02:05] tx3: you try to reinstall ubiquity > [02:05] dont know if that will help ? [02:05] usb or cd tx3? [02:05] usb [02:06] im trying a different image make.. [02:06] unetbootin [02:06] hi everybody.... I've got a strange problem... I received a BMP file size about 14GiB (satellile map), but my system memory is about 2GiB... is there any method that I can open ( or check part of) this file? [02:06] Can anyone help me, I am trying to figure out why my wifi connection is so much slower on ubuntu compared to windows. [02:06] ChogyDan: I think, in my hurry to fix it I destroyed sudo [02:07] hemiweiser: paste.ubuntu.com <- terminal <- lspci -nn [02:07] Hi, I'm looking for a good ftp-client? [02:07] Nevermind... I think I destroyed the whole filesystem [02:08] speedxcore, filezilla is goodone [02:08] I'm going to reboot [02:09] okay bobweaver it might take a while im on wifi right now, I can connect to a cord if i have to [02:09] hemiweiser: sounds like a plan :) [02:09] speedxcore, here is the link http://filezilla-project.org/ [02:10] infobit: Thank you, any other good options? [02:10] bobweaver: here is the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684899/ [02:12] Can I sign someone else's debs for them, if they havn't? [02:12] OT_iux: imagemagick can cut or shrink it, it just will take more time. [02:12] and import the public key somewhere [02:13] speedxcore, here is the link for more http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-ftp-clients-available-in-ubuntu-linux.html but i feel filezilla is all you need [02:13] hemiweiser: I see this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/621265 [02:13] Launchpad bug 621265 in Linux "Slow Wireless Connection in Intel 3945abg" [High,Confirmed] [02:13] Dr_Wilis is no longer on here. So can anyone help me change the ownership of my flash drive? I enter "chown root ..." and then WHAT after root - to indicate / point to the flash drive? [02:14] but that is a year old [02:15] Okay... I fixed that sidetrack... [02:15] ok im trying to load the webpage, im about to go plug in my ethernet soon [02:15] The output of dpkg --configure -a: [02:15] dpkg: error: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory [02:16] qin: thank you... is that imagemagick same as the imagemagick window which pops when I type "display bigfile.bmp“ in x-terminal-emulator ? [02:16] hello, I have a simple question [02:17] wsbl-uhpd651: sudo fdisk -l, use mount point, not /dev/sdb to chmod [02:17] matt__ Ask away [02:17] bobweaver: this only pertains to wifi right? because when I hook it up via an ethernet cord it works fine [02:17] yep \ [02:18] Are there any problems with burning ubuntu to a DVD instead of a cd? [02:18] okay thank you [02:18] matt__: No. [02:18] matt__: besides the waste of space no [02:18] hemiweiser: look at post 250 [02:18] okay [02:19] TIRED OF NIGGERS? [02:19] SICK OF THEIR MONKEYSHINES? [02:19] UMT-Jose: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:19] OT_iux: Yes, i think display is part of imagemagick: http://www.imagemagick.org [02:19] Ok well I tried to burn a .iso to a DVD under Windows 7, and it said it burnt successfully but the cd didn't show up in the boot menu of my computer. [02:19] matt__, burnt as an image? [02:19] matt__: With windows 7 or for windows 7? [02:20] with windows 7. and I burnt the .iso on the disc [02:20] I'm still having issues with dpkg and would appreciate help [02:20] Still [02:20] Specifically, I right clicked on the .iso file and clicked "Burn to Disc." [02:20] waiting === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [02:21] In windows 7 on in ubuntu? [02:21] You said 'under Windows 7' [02:21] In windows 7. [02:21] Oh, I see. [02:21] OT_iux: There is also feh, it is easier, but somehow limited. [02:21] matt__: Are you sure your drive can burn DVDs [02:22] Yeah. Im positive. [02:22] matt__, did you try a f12 tapping at poweing on to get a boot from menu? [02:22] powering [02:22] bobweaver: i click the link and all it does is bring me to a picture, i click the picture and it just brings me back to the redhate webpage. Should i search for the file the link is refering to? [02:22] hemiweiser: yes [02:22] Yeah, I can get to the boot menu of my motherboard. But the only option there is Windows 7 (the disc isn't there) [02:22] hemiweiser: looks like alot of people have fixed with that [02:23] urlin2u: Are you sure your computer supports boot from DVD? [02:23] err [02:23] awesome, thank you much [02:23] That was for matt__ [02:23] lol [02:23] hemiweiser: also see post 265 [02:23] I don't know, it's a Mac -_- [02:23] Hold down 'c' when booting [02:23] tried that. [02:24] Do you have rEFIt? [02:24] matt__: Next time start with that information, they tend to be odd. There is a +mac iso specifically for intel macs. [02:24] That works with the official OSX install cd but not with the ubuntu one [02:24] bobweaver: I have also been looking at this 3 page forum, do you believe this could fix it as well? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1756096&page=2 [02:24] hemiweiser: uname -a and also what ubuntu ? [02:24] qin: feh shows : [02:24] 11.04 [02:24] $ feh bigmap.bmp [02:24] feh WARNING: couldn't open bigmap.bmp [02:24] feh - No loadable images specified. [02:24] @Jordan Sorry, will do. and @stephen yeah i've got refit installed [02:24] matt__: 'c' or rEFIt? [02:24] hemiweiser: I will look [02:25] Jordan_U: Well, I have successfully used an AMD64 iso (regular) CD (not DVD) on a MAC [02:25] using rEFIt [02:25] hemiweiser: chilli55 is a friend of mine and that is one smart dude when it comes to wireless [02:25] @stephen: I've got refit on here. Holding down alt or c does nothing [02:26] actually, I worded that wrong. [02:26] okay awesome, i was trying to download it but my wifi was terrible, should i pase uname -a in pastebin? [02:26] matt__: What are the options there in rEFIt? [02:26] Just booting into OSX [02:26] matt__: Is your mac oldish or new? [02:26] new [02:26] g5 ? [02:26] ibook ? [02:26] stephenmac7: It will fail with the normal Ubuntu iso because the normal Ubuntu iso has EFI support (yes, I said exactly what I meant): http://askubuntu.com/questions/37999/what-is-different-about-the-mac-iso-image [02:26] Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger, or Panther [02:27] that's pretty strange [02:27] Jordan_U: It didn't for me... iMac + Leopard [02:27] ...or Lion [02:27] but the thing is I tried to put the DVD with the *standard* ubuntu .iso in my desktop (which is a regular pc) and it still didn't work [02:28] matt__: slow down dont panic [02:28] bobweaver: He shows no sign of panic :D [02:28] stephenmac7: Interesting. That would be good information for the Ubuntu developers to know. Is it a relatively new mac? What version of Ubuntu? [02:28] matt__: You didn't answer my question: What model and what OS? [02:29] @Stephen: Sorry. It's a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. So basically brand new. [02:29] Jordan_U: iMac... not sure what exact generation/model and Ubuntu 11.04 (UNITY) [02:29] matt__: Did you burn the iso as am image or did you just burn a DVD with the .iso file as a file on that DVD? [02:29] OT_iux: Have you tried slicing the file up? "head -c 10000 file > shortfile" and opening the smaller of the two? [02:29] @Jordan: I just put the .iso as a file on the dvd [02:29] matt__: this is what I do when a cd wont work.make sure I an downloading the right version look at md5sum # make sure it is good then burn a new one at slower speeds [02:29] matt__: Have you tried your DVD on a regular computer? [02:29] matt__: That's not the proper way to make a bootable CD. [02:30] @stephen yeah it didn't work, and I think jordan figured it out [02:30] jmsfnch: thank you, i'm now trying that... [02:30] matt__: Follow the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [02:30] matt__: It's done in the mac :) [02:31] matt__: also with what everyone else is saying it is also good to look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [02:31] matt__: And use this iso (If you want Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso [02:31] matt__: I forgot you created your DVD/CD in Windows 7. Also, it would be nice if you stayed consistant about DVD and CD [02:31] Will do. [02:32] matt__: Well, good luck. [02:32] matt__: I was about to say it could have been a problem of the usage of the CD [02:32] *DVD [02:32] @Jordan: Thanks, I feel like an idiot. :D I'll probably be back here later because there's no way in hell installing anything non-apple on a Mac will go smoothly [02:32] @stephen Thanks for the help man, ill probably be back soon read above ^^^ lol [02:33] matt__: You're welcome :D [02:33] Hello ubuntu [02:33] matt__: You're welcome :) [02:34] hello waz [02:34] matt__: Also, it's true that you're probably going to have issues. One of the most recommended ways (That I have found) to run Linux is mac is to use boot camp... even though it's for windows... [02:35] Now! Onto my problems. [02:35] :D [02:37] h00k: you alive? [02:37] snuxoll: yep. hello. [02:37] stephenmac7: For those who just arrived, cold you describe your problems? [02:37] macode1: stephenmac7: I would actually recommend against boot camp, it is not needed and creates ugly "hybrid mbr"s (which would be needed for Windows but aren't for Ubuntu and just make life difficult). [02:37] h00k: could you whitelist me, evilGUI and a friend on your mc server? [02:37] stephen123, try sudo apt-get -f install [02:37] jmsfnch,qin: thank you for your help... it might be impossible cause my memory is not enough... i thought i have to give up [02:38] urlin2u: Are you talking to me? [02:38] Should there be any visible sign of U1 bookmark sync running? I have it installed and set up but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. [02:38] urlin2u: I'm not trying to install a package [02:38] I never _didn't_ have the problenm [02:38] Therefore I have no backups [02:38] stephenmac7: dpkg is broken ? [02:38] stephen123, you ran dpkg --configure -a right [02:39] bobweaver: Yes, it is. [02:39] bobweaver: Since installation, that is [02:39] deselect update ? [02:39] urlin2u: Tried: [02:39] dpkg: error: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory [02:40] stephen123, you might have stuck install pkgs try it. [02:40] ls: cannot access /var/lib/dpkg/status: No such file or directory [02:40] urlin2u: What? [02:41] stephen123, did you sudo the first command === stephenmac7 is now known as mv [02:43] mv, have you been able to any updates since the install? [02:43] do* [02:43] OT_iux: What exactly are you trying to achieve? [02:44] stephenmac7_: you try to reinstall is that an option ? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/dpkg/master/files/head:/debian/ [02:45] bobweaver: It seems that I have missed a bit [02:45] My internet went out [02:45] Did you post anything since I asked: sudo dpkg --configure -a? [02:46] -n nickky [02:46] stephenmac7_: sudo deselect update [02:46] bobweaver: Reinstall the whole OS? [02:46] bobweaver: I'll try [02:46] no [02:46] Hello all. Would anyone be able to help an intermediate user get their Broadcom 43xx wireless adapter working with ndiswrapper? Something seems amiss and I'm not technical enough to know what is wrong. [02:47] placer14: lspci -nn | grep 14e4 [02:47] what is the part in red ? [02:47] bobweaver: sudo deselect update gives me a command not found thingy [02:47] stephen123, you will probably have to install dselect [02:47] stephenmac7_: arghh [02:47] Long poste incoming ;) [02:47] I got a real problem here guys. Hopefully the solution is just as real. I was changing some settings with the pulsaudio equalizer like I always do. But this time when I changed it, the audio completely stopped. The icon is gone from the tray, and when I try to go to sound preferences, it tells me "Waiting for sound system to respond". I've reinstalled both pulseaudio and the equalizer, and...

[02:49] stephenmac7_: :) [02:49] no [02:49] urlin2u: ok, but this all happened out of nowhere [02:50] stephenmac7_: do you have to install deselect ? [02:50] bobweaver: It seems [02:50] :D [02:50] rectec794613, you read both links in 1 min. [02:50] urlin2u: it would be nice if you could give me a specific page with the same issue and solution as the one i'm having [02:50] excuse me, I'm looking for some help updating GRUB to GRUB2 [02:50] Back to good old compile :) [02:50] ...or I could reinstall the whole OS [02:51] rectec794613, that would be nice now wouldn't it. [02:51] stephenmac7_: or replace dpkg ? [02:51] bobweaver: How? [02:51] urlin2u: I skimmed. don't blame me, I have no idea what my problem is [02:51] rectec794613, what makes you think IO know one beyond the bots suggestions [02:51] I've gotten as far as installing GRUB2 and it will chainload from GRUB to GRUB2 [02:51] bobweaver: This is for someone else, not me. [02:51] bobweaver: This computer is NOT mine [02:51] oh [02:51] but I want to get rid of GRUB(1) alltogether [02:52] stephenmac7_: clients ? [02:52] thevinci, whats the OS? [02:52] Ubuntu Hardy Heron [02:52] It needs to run smoothly or the person I'm doing it for (No, relatives) will hate linux, for he is already skeptical [02:52] I've tried the command 'update-from-grub-legacy' [02:52] thevinci, end of life a waste of time unless that is your only choice. [02:52] bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684924/ [02:52] thevinci: upgrade to lucid and you'll get grub2 ;) [02:52] stephenmac7_: did you look at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/dpkg/master/files/head:/debian/ [02:53] bobweaver: You are an animal, sir. Thank you for your help. [02:53] bobweaver: What about it? [02:53] ugh, I know, as well as the tabbed file browsing that I miss so much! [02:53] thevinci, the servers still covered though. [02:53] bobweaver: You want me to install it from source? [02:53] I'm on an old a$$ laptop though [02:53] urlin2u: no offense, but could you please assist me in troubleshooting this so I can find out what page I need to devote my time to, instead of sending me generic sound troubleshooting links? [02:53] placer14: rfkill unblock all [02:53] stephenmac7_: if need be [02:53] bobweaver: Note that it had b43 and ssd loaded before I loaded ndiswrapper [02:53] I think it would be easier to reinstall ubuntu [02:54] bobweaver: Done. Should I reload b43 and ssd? === stephenmac7_ is now known as stephenmac7 [02:54] rectec794613, demanding from a user who has stated they don't know makes no sense. [02:54] I had lucid on here for a little while, but it was pretty slow [02:54] placer14: sudo apt-get install b43fwcutter firware-b43-installer [02:55] placer14: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper [02:55] and I've tried updating from 8.04 to 8.10, but it can't find the server, can I skip 8.10 and jump right to 9.04?

[02:56] thanks IdleOne, i've been there before though [02:56] urlin2u: my sound just quit for no reason, this has never happened to me before. [02:56] i can't remember the specific error I get though [02:57] thevinci: you can go from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS TO LTS [02:57] bobweaver: I think I'll reinstall [02:57] rectec794613, I have never had a sound problem, so I have no answers. [02:57] I'll tell you what happens [02:57] exit [02:58] IdleOne: I'm just worried that my little Presario won't be able to handle 10.04 [02:58] thevinci: why wouldn't it? [02:58] Cuz its an old laptop? [02:58] any ltsp folks in the house? [02:58] is there a program that will let me download windows programs [02:58] i want to download alice for ubuntu [02:58] how would i go about doing this [02:59] thevinci: ok, so no fancy 3d stuff but it should run fine [02:59] IdleOne: My buddy convinced me that my laptop was running slow before (on 9.04) because it was a recent distro [02:59] so I dropped down to hardy [03:00] i've got a full install in a chroot, when i run startx inside the chroot it doesn't capture the keyboard and mouse any ideas how i can achieve this? [03:01] IdleOne: But what you seem to be hinting at is that the release version won't make it run slower unless I have uber fancy compiz settings? [03:01] well can somebody read this pastebin and tell me what they think? http://paste.ubuntu.com/684919/ [03:01] thevinci: might be time to do a clean install, look into Lubuntu it is made for low power machines. [03:01] is there a program for being able to download windows programs for ubuntu? [03:01] i want to download alice for ubuntu, what prgram would allow me to do tha [03:01] 8.04 was a clean install. [03:01] all of these troubleshooting reccomendation imply that sound was never working before, but it was indeed working fine 10 minutes ago [03:02] thevinci: right, all the effects will slow it down but the default install shouldn't make it slower [03:02] blsh0p: look for Wine [03:02] recommendations* [03:02] IdleOne: hmmmm.... I always suspected that was the case... [03:02] thevinci: maybe look into Lubuntu [03:03] IdleOne: Does that still use Gnome for a desktop? [03:03] I could just research it on my own... lol [03:03] thevinci: it uses lxde [03:03] thevinci: it uses LXDE and yeah :) [03:04] debian stays the same forever [03:04] ;) [03:04] except when it changes [03:04] IdleOne: :) [03:04] anyone? :[ [03:04] well I'll restart again and see if that won't fix it. [03:05] IdleOne: Ok, yeah, I looked in to LXDE when I had lucid originally, felt too much like being in windows again... >:( [03:05] thevinci: unfortunately you have a low powered laptop, some compromises will have to be made. [03:05] hi ndoes anybody know howto mount a iso image with gmount [03:06] luc_: why dont you use mount instead? [03:06] IdleOne: I know, I know... [03:06] where is that at [03:07] luc_: like "mount /path/to/file.iso /mount-point -o loop" [03:07] luc_: just make sure you have "-o loop" [03:08] im new to linux [03:08] i'm too [03:09] is it possible to have shared desktop icons when virtualizing and also have gnome manage my windows in the virtualizer? [03:09] luc_: well, do you know mount command? [03:09] no [03:09] no dice [03:10] this could be a terrible place to ask this, but not getting help in #curl or #RubyOnRails... i'm attempt to build a curl command that will POST with json and a file. my command is similar to this: curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://myurl.com -u user:pass -d '{"myjson":"json"}' -F "image=@testimage.jpg;type=image/jpeg" and i'm getting Warning: You can only select one HTTP request!. any ideas? i was able to POST in a similar fashing to a d [03:10] luc_: In that case, just right-click on iso file, and choose open with Archieves mounter ;) [03:11] rectec794623: try looking at your hardware drivers [03:11] see if there is a restricted driver that got turned off somehow. [03:11] ls [03:12] bobweaver: Hey, Bob. Great success! You are a gentleman and scholar. [03:12] no you are [03:12] :>) [03:12] No need to sling mud. Just be gracious and accept your appreciation. [03:13] placer14: I am [03:13] Much obliged. Any way I can help you? [03:13] thevinci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684935/ everything looks in order. don't know about the "is not ours" thing [03:13] I also think that he is a gentelman and a scholar [03:13] i can hear this: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [03:14] looks like using curl -F and -d is my problem since they specify different HTTP request types. still trying to figure out how to curl and upload a file and some json data [03:15] thevinci: i think it's halfway fixed. I can hear sound again, but I can't change the volume [03:15] ok i tried that and i get a error [03:15] '~$ which phpmyadmin' does not produce any output. What is the phpMyAdmin executable?

[03:16] thevinci: idk I ran the command as root [03:16] hey you guys...i did a sudo apt-get php5 and it says i have the latest one...i did a "service --status-all [03:17] thevinci: if theres a certain package for the sound manager I could give a go at reinstalling it [03:17] and i dont even see it [03:17] luc_: hmm, I think you should learn mount command then. can you open the terminal please? [03:17] how do i mak it run? [03:17] i dont see it in /etc/init.d either [03:17] ok [03:17] rectec794613: can u not change volume from the GUI? Do you have buttons on your keyboard for it? [03:17] hexacode: PHP doesn't run as a service.

[03:18] that looks like an install or upgrade [03:18] or do php -v [03:18] and let me know what version you have [03:18] thevinci: the keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore, the only options i have when I click on the now-invisible volume icon in the tray are a grayed out "Mute" and sound preferences [03:18] luc_: then run sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop [03:18] luc_: replace /path/to/file.iso with your own path [03:19] rectec794613: and what are the preferences?

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 ..." [03:22] fluffy: you also might want to read my tutorial here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1837183 [03:22] there a way to manually execute php placer14 ? [03:22] just to turn on the php process itself [03:22] so that apache can start communicating with it [03:22] sure, find where it lives and run it the interpreter directly [03:22] rectec794613, Does that work with 11.04? [03:22] nobody is using vlc here? what the fuck [03:22] placer14 that would be a whereis correct? [03:23] fluffy: it should. Modules are a kernel-level thing if i'm not mistaken [03:23] rectec794613: Yeah, try selecting alsamixer. right click on the sound icon in the tray>Open Volume Control>File>Change Device, and select the first one. [03:23] rectec794613: Unless thats what you have selected now? [03:23] placer14 im going to try restarting my computer [03:23] ? [03:23] rectec794613, They are. Let me check. I've installed my wireless card on Ubuntu before, but it's just not taking with 11.04 [03:23] hexacode: I doubt that will help much...

[04:03] i think i have to make one some how through that [04:04] (eject) is for the disk drives [04:04] Where can you go to complain about ubuntu not putting enough time in to fixing bugs it produces with every release?

[04:04] wsbl-uhpd651, I so it is just read it sounds like I thin you can change the permission from root nautilus, or pul the stuff off and reformat it.

[04:05] they need to fix bugs not create more he he [04:05] Every time I install Ubuntu, I get some often bad, bugs. [04:06] yeah eject i think is for the disc drives [04:06] BakeR: If you want a stable system, use LTS instead ;) [04:06] can anyone help me my microphone isnt working [04:06] BakeR, Don't listen to him hehe, I use LTS and still have all kinds of bugs. [04:06] :P [04:06] !lts [04:06] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [04:06] Stable and Ubuntu = oxy moron itself. [04:07] wsbl-uhpd651, go to files-media to get to the properties of that thumb. [04:07] i think he was being sarcastic [04:07] lol [04:07] BakeR: hmm, I mean, you can create a custom keyboard shortcut like "Ctrl+U" to run command "umount /media/mount" or some kind of that ;) [04:07] no one can help me [04:07] Where do I go to report bugs that haven't been fixed in years? :) [04:07] urlin2u what ubuntu are you on [04:07] BakeR, natty right now.

[04:12] I started using ubuntu because I was tired of configuring x/sound/wireless etc on Debian boxes etc. That's all I want it to do.

But your statement is not the whole truth. phpmyadmin is also a DEB program package contining a lot of files. One of its exectuable files is /usr/sbin/pma-configure. [04:14] phenom: I still ask questions and they still answer. So.... [04:14] wsbl-uhpd651, yay your the thumb person .:) [04:15] s/contining/caontaining/ [04:15] bullgard4_: I've never install it form a deb, so I can;t help you [04:15] Every one of my bug reports, even when confirmed have never been fixed :P [04:15] phenom: best to ask the developers of that particular package. I don't know what they will do. [04:15] somsip: Thank you for your help. [04:16] hey all I have a few files on / (root) that I was wondering about and if they should be there? They all seem to be symbolic links to somewhere else to start I have cdrom initrd.img & initrd.img.old vmlinuz & vmlinuz.old xorg.conf.new (of these which are supposed to be there)? [04:16] urlin2u: Any other ideas of how to get X to recognize the touchpad as well, a touchpad?

[04:17] crash1hd: Please do not delet them! [04:17] crash1hd: Please do not delete them! [04:17] crash1hd: They're the kernel image and initramdisk, so just leave them along ;) [04:18] I take it that you mean initrd and vmlinuz what about the .old files? [04:18] I have to admit, I imagined I'd have been asked to leave already. :) [04:19] I think my mic is in use [04:19] urlin2u: "files-media" ??? [04:19] I can hear it over the headphones [04:19] urlin2u: And yes, I am the "thumb person" :) [04:19] it's stupid someone help [04:19] But I do think,,, the best thing that could happen to Ubuntu in it's entirety, is have masses of users flood in here complaining of stability issues. [04:19] phenom: Folks on this channel are very tolerant as far as I can tell. [04:19] crash1hd: they're the old vmlinuz and initrd then ;) [04:20] I think the masses of users should file bug reports, the support helpers are not often developers ;) [04:20] Stanley00, ok thanks :) so what about cdrom? (I no longer have a cdrom installed, but I might in the future is it needed?) [04:21] they are interested in sharing knowledge and I think that is important to most all linux users. We are pretty darn sure that we have some really great software to work with and are hoping to work together to make it even better. [04:21] crash1hd: /cdrom is safe to delete, but it wont take too much space if you leave it there ;) [04:21] Stanley00, Cool thanks :) you guys are as always very helpful :) [04:22] crash1hd: you are welcome ;) [04:22] and the perfect OS does not exist [04:22] Put stability first. If Ubuntu doesn't have the leverage to pressure upstream in to fixing their own bugs, then they should release the distro with the broken package. Is all. :P [04:23] where to get xvid encoder ? [04:23] usr13: I think "th perfect OS for everyone" is more precise, Ubuntu is nearly perfect for me ;) [04:24] perfection - no, not really, but a very awesome system, that's what I have - yes Stanley00 very nearly perfect IMHO :). [04:24] usr13: ;) [04:25] Ubuntu is a decent system overall. Hardly great in comparison to what it has the potential to be. [04:26] Ok now I have to figure out how to safely get rid of all nvidia software on my ubuntu box (I upgraded the motherboard and the new video card is an ati so I no longer require the nvidia software) [04:26] Now... comparing it to the worst OS(s)... Microsoft/Apple. [04:26] maybe I'm a bit of an optimist but I prefer to see the glass as half full (optimism is more fun anyway) [04:27] BTW, we should have this conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic (an under used and under appreciated channel). [04:28] hhi [04:29] usr13: i think the conversation died long before it started [04:29] axi93: You certainly have a right to your opinion. [04:30] where to get an xvid encoder ? [04:30] anyone go to ross med school? [04:30] urlin2u: I stopped gdm, created and edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:30] but EHELP [04:30] Supari: no [04:30] variable: What's the matter? [04:31] variable: What video card do you have? [04:31] usr13: X is detecting my mouse as a normal mouse, not a touchpad [04:31] how to put a program in the include path ? [04:31] I mean , when I type it name anywhere [04:32] it opens [04:32] Dollz: shell specific option [04:32] variable: In what way is it malfunctioning? [04:32] Dollz: typically you add the directory to $PATH as a colon deliminated list [04:32] How do I remove dead links from my Applications menu? [04:32] usr13: I'm not able to shut it off while typing, adjust sensitivity to touch, etc [04:33] variable: I think he is talking about a tarball [04:33] variable: should I type $PATH = $PATH+";new_location" ? [04:33] Dollz: colon, not semi-colon [04:33] variable: should I type $PATH = $PATH+",new_location" ? [04:33] variable: Oh yea, touchpads are touchy sometimes. [04:33] Dollz: *sigh* it depends on your shell [04:33] Hey guys what exactly is the WSOD? cause i think my girlfriend's Dell Inspiron 14r might be affecting it [04:34] variable: bash [04:34] Dollz: on a POSIX compliant shell doing something like export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/dir"; will work [04:34] Is there an easy way to remove all nvidia software on my ubuntu box (I upgraded the motherboard and the new video card is an ati so I no longer require the nvidia software)? [04:34] urlin2u: yes, its not detecting it as a touchpad [04:34] * variable wants it to [04:34] crash1hd: you can probably search for nvidia and select the packages to remove either in the software center or synaptic [04:34] She's using her laptop and her desktop slowly fades to white o.o [04:34] can someone help me [04:35] Dollz: PATH=$PATH:/dir/dir [04:35] yeboot: just ask; if we know the answer we will [04:35] urlin2u: use more quotes! [04:35] everything goes white and then 5 minutes later its back 2 normal [04:35] variable, I'm on the phone [04:35] Dollz: and then export PATH [04:35] usr13: thanks [04:36] urlin2u: :-) [04:36] Dollz: What is it you are trying to add BTW? [04:36] axi93, hmm ok I was kinda hoping there was something shell based cause when I do the package manager it seems to ask me if I want to remove things like ubuntu-desktop? which I worry about not sure what that is? [04:36] usr13: a path to mplayer directory to run mencoder quickly [04:36] as well as nouveau firmware [04:37] Dollz: You know you can just do mkdir ~/bin and put scripts there to your heart's content. [04:37] crash1hd: don't remove it if it says it is going to remove ubuntu-desktop. that is like everything. basically. not just the invidia packages. [04:37] Dollz: mplayer should already be in your path. [04:37] Dollz: How did you install mplayer? [04:37] crash1hd: hold on a second and i'll see what i can do to answer your question. [04:37] usr13: from svn [04:37] Dollz: you didn't use the package manager? [04:37] axi93, ok :) thanks [04:38] crash1hd: did you install additional drivers in ubuntu or are you using the free ones? [04:38] usr13: I tried to install mencoder only using apt-get , but it installed an old version (2009) [04:38] usr13: so , I got it from the source :) svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer [04:39] + ./configure make , and make install [04:39] truelly I am not sure, there was a time where I was trying anythnig to get the nvidia drivers to work [04:39] Dollz: What version of Ubuntu do you have? [04:39] usr13: 10.04 [04:39] I can't get my microphone working other than directly using it as output [04:40] urlin2u: thanks ! [04:41] brb [04:41] Hi. I know the following questions might have been asked a thousand times, but I never got the chance to read unity's design team responses to much of the criticism that's out there. For instance. For a new comer, it now takes FIVE clicks to reach a given item from the accessories, what the hell?. And how about being able to reposition the launcher bar on the desktop for those whom, being used to browse content from top-down and [04:41] left-right, just see the launcher bar as a visual annoyance/distraction and would feel it's really less intrusive at the bottom of the screen? In all, is there some place where the design team give responses and perhaps even dialog with the feedback they had? (is it launchpad actually?, should these be filled as bugs?) === paijem-cantik is now known as blackshirt [04:42] Dollz: The version from the repository was not doing the job for you? [04:43] or did you try it? [04:43] crash1hd: i don't believe you can remove the Nouveau package. you can remove the unified NVIDIA drivers though... [04:43] Can anyone help me with a BCM43xx issue [04:43] axi93, ok [04:43] usr13: didn't try it at all [04:44] crash1hd: maybe a better question is why do you want to remove these drivers? [04:44] axi93, well I am no longer using an nvidia card [04:45] axi93, and there is an option in the settings that makes reference to them [04:45] crash1hd: i wouldn't worry about it if it isn't negatively impacting you. [04:45] Dollz: mplayer is a very complicated suite of applications. It is the swiss-army knife of video players. It is easy to isntall from the package manager and hard to install manually. YOu should install from the repository and see if it functions properly. [04:46] axi93, its not and i know I could just hide the menu item. On that note when I do install the custom ati driver I get a warning about unsupported ati driver as a little image in the bottom right corner of the screen [04:46] so I was not sure if it was affected [04:46] crash1hd: you can disable the driver if you want to do that. [04:46] usr13: but I think it's fine .. it didn't take 10 minutes to download and complie [04:46] usr13: just 3 commands [04:46] axi93, I have done that already (that removed the warning) and all seems to be working but I am not trying to do anything complicated either lol [04:47] crash1hd: go to system -> administration -> additional drivers (10.04) [04:47] usr13: got no errors at all [04:47] Dollz: Well you should not have to alter your path to use it. If you install it properly it will work. No matter if you isntall from tarball or from package manager. [04:47] I'm going to be away from my terminal for a while.... [04:47] crash1hd: i actually wanted to do what you are trying to do at one time to shrink the size of a ISO which contained a mini version of ubuntu. unfortunately the way things are packaged you just can't. [04:48] usr13: hmmm , I hope this is the only problem :) [04:48] axi93, ok :) makes sense the driver it wants me to use is the ATI/AMD prop.. FGLRX graphics driver [04:48] but when I activate it I get the warning [04:49] which I have looked up and it tells me that the warning is bogus that it is verified (but couldnt find a way to get rid of it) [04:54] hi, do i need to delete win re partition before installing ubuntu on laptop or it can stay there [04:54] xxzz: it can remain. [04:54] axi93, ty [04:55] xxzz: you can resize a windows partition usually and then create a new one in the free space. after which you can install to the new one and when the system boots you will have the option of booting either windows or ubuntu. [04:56] i already have free space [04:56] then you are golden [04:56] its just that i opted for custom patitioning and i didnt select not to create re, it normally puts that under C: [04:57] loosing primary partition for something as stupid as that is not useful [04:57] hellow there [04:57] A male told me recently that he paid an uncircumcised Woman $500 to defecate on his circumcised genitalia. [04:58] I am still trying to wrap my brain around this. [04:58] trans [04:58] Marcoss: We don't want to know.

[05:01] i dont want to bother anyone but my girlfriend's dell inspiron 14r is having an issue that randomly the screen starts getting white and then everything fades into the white and she says that it happens in Windows 7 too o.o [05:01] google calendar integration with natty indicator? [05:02] george: take it to a repair shop [05:02] inverter is doing dead [05:03] yea its likely that its a serious hardware issue [05:03] when it does that, take a flashlight to it and see if you can see it. [05:04] george: well, it isn't terribly difficult to fix. you will probably be charged an arm and a leg to fix it though. i know i charge an arm and a leg. [05:04] me too =P [05:04] Hi all [05:04] check the service tag on Dell's website, to check warranty status. [05:04] you might be surprised. [05:05] :( [05:05] time zone on clock indicator- does anyone know how? [05:05] Hello [05:06] hello Peace_Maker [05:06] but is this common on Dell hardware? ive read things online about this and all, now im never buying a Dell laptop xD [05:06] george: basically you need to order an card which usually goes in the screen. so... you'd have to pop off some little circles that cover the screws to get the screen off (under the circles are screws) and then the thing pops plastic piece around the screen pops off. toward the bottom there is a card usually. it just needs to be replaced. [05:06] it's common on laptops. period. [05:06] it's no more common on dell than anyone [05:06] dell doesn't make their own screens. other companies do. and HP, dell, ibm, toshiba, etc... all use similar manufacturers. [05:07] guys I have some problem here :( [05:07] george: your best bet is to get a free software compatible laptop .... [05:07] george: thinkpenguin.com, maybe elsewhere although zareason seems to have backed out of supporting freedom. === Dion is now known as Guest18208 [05:08] ee intel (0) no kernel modesetting driver detected [05:08] what should I do?

[05:15] :) [05:15] =_= [05:15] Things are getting pink [05:16] is it possible to see what processes are being executed in the terminal? is there any command/ [05:16] what should i do for fixing it? [05:16] Peace_Maker: aww there isn't anything to fix. [05:16] danes: ps -aux [05:16] so what :( [05:17] Peace_Maker: it is something to the effect that you lack 3d accelerated support for your graphics card under ubuntu [05:17] and [05:17] does anyone know where to get information about the formatting of /proc/PID/stat files? [05:17] ? [05:18] Peace_Maker: well, i guess if you want 3d support you should buy a free software compatible graphics card. [05:18] albech: google [05:18] I am getting following error while installing zimbra desktop http://pastebin.com/0x4Nwtsg [05:18] like what? [05:18] axi93, really? :p [05:19] albech: :) yea, that was funny. [05:21] good morning.....i have lost all my sound in ubuntu 11.04 [05:21] can't get it work [05:22] calmpitbull: i know the answer to this problem. buy a free software compatible usb audio adapter. they are available from thinkpenguin.com and other fine stores! (although the others are harder to find... cause most don't clearly indicate it) [05:23] axi93: what???? [05:23] calmpitbull: the other answer is revert your linux kernel version. not something i'd suggest doing... on any permanent basis. [05:23] I am using 11.04. I have a bcm4311 wireless card issue. The driver is properly installed and activated. There is a physical switch on the laptop to enable/disable the card. The indicator LED on the card does not switch from orange to blue when activated (unlike under all other distros I have run). No card activity is possible. [05:23] calmpitbull: you have a usb audio chipset that is a piece of junk... [05:24] calmpitbull: it shouldn't stop working just because your kernel updated or you upgraded. [05:24] axi93: what a fuck... [05:24] axi93: just shot up [05:25] calmpitbull: i just told you a second solution.... but as i said i wouldn't advise it. [05:25] sweetandy: broadcom doesn't support free software or linux well at all... [05:26] axi93, that is very true, but I have used this card with GNU/Linux distributions for almost two years [05:26] I rarely use the WIFI, if ever, but I wanted to configure it with this new installation anyway. [05:26] sweetandy: support ends when broadcom says it ends... you are shit out of luck [05:26] Thank you, I will keep that in mind. [05:27] sweetandy: good luck [05:27] !language [05:27] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. === Guest12091 is now known as wheaties466 [05:27] good morning.....i have lost all my sound in ubuntu 11.04 [05:27] and i need help [05:27] axi93, I did not choose this hardware, but I did choose this software. It bothers me that I must resort to non-free firmware. Your contribution to this conversation was nil. [05:27] <[[mandrix]]> what's the device? [05:27] :) wow... someone actually thinks i'm a professional. always considered myself a hacker. not a professional. [05:28] <[[mandrix]]> have you tried checking the devices? [05:28] i did [05:28] axi93, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [05:28] <[[mandrix]]> i hope the real meaning of hacker not the media bullshit [05:30] seriously, mind your language, people - this isn't a Wild West saloon [05:30] Myritti: :) you are right. but lack of curse words really makes it difficult to communicate [05:32] :) should start an "adults" only chat [05:33] on irc? original thinking right there ;) [05:34] can somebody tell me if anybody else had a problem with sound after updat [05:35] how do i properly add my Wifi via wpa_supplicant? it uses symbols and #'s and it get errors from it when trying to add.

[05:42] is there someone from Costa RIca?? === root is now known as Dracari [05:45] still catches on !on2 [05:45] Hi there. I got a VIA C3 machine at home on which Ubuntu refuses to install correctly - neither live-cd nor alternate installer work properly. I found an old harddrive with 9.04 on it, and it booted perfectly though! Now I'm thinking about upgrading the 9.04 to 10.04 LTS, to regain update support. Is that possible? I read some people had problems doing that? [05:45] If I apt-get install ccache, is there anything more that has to be done to enable it? As in, can I compile stuff as I normally would and it'll kick in on its own or do I have to activate it manually as per various online docs I've looked at? [05:46] i guess i cant use a Password w/ an ! in it in this manner ;-; [05:46] Hi all! What is a good program for ripping DVDs? I want to play the files on my WD TV Live Plus box. [05:47] hm, escape sequences for the troublesome character "!" would be another guess but I figured quotes would've taken care of it?!? [05:47] dsnyders, ogmrip [05:48] i dont want to Create an Virtual Interface on my DD-WRT router JUST for my XBMC-Live Wireless units. [05:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades mat619 please see this [05:49] bazhang, Thanks. I'll take a look at that. I used to have a script that did an mplayer dumpstream, but I can't find it anymore. [05:49] guess i'll nee dto create one.. thanks for the help though user_ [05:50] dsnyders, ogmrip has a load of nice preset options as to how you rip it (ie number of passes, for which device etc) [05:50] tried, best of luck Dracari [05:50] calmpitbull, check in alsamixer that nothing is muted [05:51] keep tinkering in the future wih it [05:51] bazhang: thanks, but I read that before. I know it IS possible, but my question rather is "would you recommend that" - bad choice of wording. can't write proper english before at least 2nd cup of coffee. :/ [05:51] bazhang: I'm afraid that upgrading will kill proper support for my hardware, which seems to be troublesome considering no newer release than 9.04 would work with it. wonder why!? [05:51] How do I add something to my terminal? Like if I wanted to call /home/aple/MyApp from terminal like: "myapp newfile.txt". How would I do that? [05:51] mat619, do you have a separate home partition; upgrades such work fine, as would a fresh install [05:52] I'm creating a symlink to it, but I'm not sure how to make it part of my terminal path [05:52] mat619, try a live cd with some bootoptions then [05:52] !bootoptions | mat619 [05:52] mat619: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [05:52] aple: add /home/aple/bin or wherever you keep your app to your path variable [05:52] bazhang, my script wasn't very pretty. It basically looped through 30 times, blindly trying to play each DVD chapter. I'm sure OGMRip is a lot better. [05:53] bazhang: i did yesterday and now i have speakers muted again, [05:53] dsnyders, be certain to have libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org [05:53] aple: then when you call "myapp newfile.txt" the shell will look for an app by the name of myapp in all folders in $PATH, including the folder your app is actually in. [05:54] bazhang: and when i put it on lauder nothing happens [05:54] calmpitbull, are you using something with WINE? [05:54] mat619: Last time I did this, I was told to make a symlink. Is that not necessary? [05:54] bazhang, Thanks for that reminder. [05:54] no [05:54] bazhang:what do u mean [05:54] aple: where is your app located and were you told to symlink it to? [05:55] calmpitbull, microsoft apps with WINE [05:55] bazhang: no [05:55] calmpitbull, what is PCM set to in alsamixer [05:55] bazhang:100 [05:55] calmpitbull, down it to around 70 [05:55] ok [05:56] bazhang:no what [05:56] mat619: Well, I don't care about symlinking to be honest. I just want to add Sublime Text 2 to terminal so I can call it from terminal like: "st2 newfile.txt" or just open it with "st2" [05:56] bazhang:now what [05:56] calmpitbull, try playing a test sound [05:57] bazhang:can i open avi to test it [05:57] mat619: /home/aple/SublimeText2/sublime_text [05:57] calmpitbull, sure, why not [05:57] xxxguardianangel> hey all, anyone know how to fix gecko on a wine install? [05:57] bazhang:still nothing [05:58] xxxguardianangel, try #winehq after checking the appdb [05:58] !appdb | xxxguardianangel [05:58] xxxguardianangel: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [05:58] aple: ah, now I see why you were told to create a symlink. If the executable file itself is called "sublime_text", and you want to call it with "st2", you need to create a symlink on sublime_text called st2. that would be step 1. [05:58] How do I name symlinks? [05:58] bazhang, it has to be 1.3.9, the ubuntu repo has 1.2.2 [05:59] aple: second step would be to add /home/aple/SublimeText2/ to your path variable, so that the shell will search that folder for an app called "st2" when you call it. [05:59] +1 idlers are all being mute assholes, so I'll ask here [05:59] Can unity in 11.10 RE-ARRANGE WORKSPACES [05:59] mat619: Last time I did it, I did it in a one-liner. [05:59] it's the only think setting me back from using it [05:59] otherwise I'm installing xubuntu [05:59] or kubuntu [05:59] atari2600a, watch the language. this is the wrong place as well [05:59] I haven't decided whether my 4.0 wounds have healed yet [05:59] aple: ooff... good question. been a while since i last did that, something along the lines of "ln -s sublime_text st2" when you're in /home/aple/SublimeText2/. [06:00] aple: am unsure of the exact syntax though, you might want to look it up if it doesn't work. [06:00] bazhang:any other ideas [06:01] hello all [06:02] calmpitbull, check in padevchooser for your sound device [06:02] !info padevchooser | calmpitbull [06:02] calmpitbull: padevchooser (source: padevchooser): PulseAudio Device Chooser.

[06:18] urlin2u, going to check [06:19] irc2samus: What is the command in the keyboard shortcut? You might try changing it to firefox google.com or firefox about:blank [06:19] any?

[06:23] usr13, it was a possibility but it's not the case here, my guess is that the "Lauch web browser" action is passing some extra arguments [06:23] aple: Does: cd ~/apps/SublimeText2/ && ./sublime_text starts application?

[06:25] rapecannon, #screen [06:26] irc2samus: simple as that? Lolz.

[06:42] irc2samus, then it must be something with firefox settings... but I dont' see what it could be.

[06:58] I wanna fix bug [06:58] If I can do it [06:58] urlin2u: I tried using the command line dist upgrade, but it said it can't upgrade using the cli.

THANK YOU! [07:04] nastjuid, cool wasn't sure. [07:04] is there a way to recursively symlink a series of files in a folder? [07:04] urlin2u: well, it updated, so i'm still crossing my fingers [07:04] i tried this 'ln -s /path/to/folder/*' [07:04] and it then it symlinks folder [07:05] but when i try adding to git, git apparently doesn't allow you to add files in the symlink folder === denny_ is now known as denny [07:05] just the symlink itself [07:05] urlin2u: yup, there it goes. old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ . Again, thank you, thank you, thank you [07:05] until next time, gentlepeople.

I need to convert flv files to: webm, ogv and mp4. So far i have installed Miro, which can convert from flv to mp4, but not the other two. On the web i read that miro can in fact convert to webm and ogv, so i guess i'am missing some codec's or something ? === Antony is now known as ao231 [07:23] itilious: are you connecting to a network printer? Are you wanting to share a printer? [07:23] mutley89: Win7 <-> Ubuntu(vb) copy/paste doesn't work for me.. :( [07:23] i can only use it successfully when i disable firestarter,, i have already opened cups [07:23] itilious, install the driver. [07:23] jnsl_: look into mencoder and/or ffmpeg [07:23] ActionParsnip, i installed driver and connect via wifi to printer ok,,, only when firestarter is disabled though [07:23] Hi all, i saw that the Dell Vostro 3700 is ubuntu certified (http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201001-4961:201004-5579). Currently I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and hence, the NVidia card isn't working out of the box (got bumblebee though). Does Ubuntu 11.04 have the same problem? Or should I consider updating? [07:24] ActionParsnip has the same problem, no ogv and webm [07:24] err ffmpeg has * [07:24] ActionParsnip, i also opened cups port for firestarter but still hp drivers seem to need something else open because it still will not work when firewall is on [07:25] itilious: possibly 161427 and 137 UDP [07:25] aple: there is an option on the virtualbox manager gui under the settings for each virtual machine, under general - advanced called shared clipboard, is this set? [07:25] melle: given that there aren't any certification notes for 11.04, I'd consider updating [07:25] itilious: http://www.avgforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=621 [07:25] ActionParsnip, 161427? [07:25] itilious: yeah, on seconds read, not quite right [07:27] itilious: could just cheat and allow the system to transmit and recieve ANY data on ANY port to and from the IP of the printer [07:28] ActionParsnip, so i need to add "161, 427" to my open port rule in firestarter? [07:28] I'm currently installing Windows 7 on my dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows machine. The Ubuntu hard drive is the boot drive and GRUB has not been touched by this installation (I have made sure of that). Although the boot option for Windows XP works fine to launch the newly installed 7, how can I change it so it says Windows 7 instead of XP in the list? [07:28] ActionParsnip, i did add the printer static ip and still it does not work [07:28] itilious: possibly, that link seems groovy though [07:28] itilious: your printer manual may tell you [07:29] rockguy32 - did you update the grub file?? [07:29] rockguy32, it will be W7 the XP will be the hard one to boot I used easybcd to get it in the W7 bootmenu. [07:29] I was under the impression that this had changed with the new GRUB [07:30] Windows XP has been replaced by 7. 7 is launched by the XP option in the GRUB menu. It was an upgrade, not an additional installation. [07:30] rww: thanks! [07:30] rockguy32 - regenerate is maybe a better word, run "update-grub" [07:31] rockguy32, W7 will take over the boot it may have xp already in its menu I had a W7 then XP actualyy. [07:32] rockguy32, in other words you will see at grub Ubuntu and windows 7 when yo choose windows seven a boot for it or Xp will be next. [07:32] Windows 7 did not take over the boot. After it restarted to apply changes, GRUB came up just fine. My Windows installation is on an entirely separate drive from Ubuntu and GRUB is housed on the Ubuntu drive. [07:33] Windows XP is no longer there, as it has been upgraded to 7. The XP option in the list launches the 7 installation. I just want to rename it so it says Windows 7 instead of XP. [07:33] rockguy32, I used easybcd to get the xp ion the W7 boot, you can run a bootscript for us to lok to see how the windows have intertwined the boot. === static_void is now known as static_void_ [07:34] Is the update-grub command still functional in the newest version of GRUB because I was under the impression it was replaced by something else. [07:35] rockguy32: update-grub still works. [07:35] Ok, and will it detect that Windows XP is now called WIndows 7? [07:36] rockguy32: It should, yes. [07:36] rockguy32, if you run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.text we can see the MS boot. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [07:36] I can't at the moment, it's finishing installation. [07:37] rockguy32, it may be as simple as a update-grub though. [07:37] ok well I'll have to wait until the installation finishes and I can reboot before I get the chance to try. [07:37] if its just the grub menu itmes names thars wrong you can tweak that. [07:38] Well that was my original question.

[07:55] zruty, what are you trying ti do? [07:55] to* [07:55] urlin2u: I am trying to copy files to the live usb drive [07:55] how to install file with " .tgz" in lubuntu 10.4(ubuntu 10.4) [07:55] tata: what is the name of the file? [07:56] tata: there is no single answer to the question [07:56] zruty, when it is booted to the OS? [07:56] tata: the file is a compressed archive, so could contain binaries or source code... [07:56] how can i convert a file from flv to ogv using ffmpeg without loosing quality ? [07:56] or mencoder [07:56] urlin2u: Correct, the live OS [07:56] file is: via-xserver-86a-50283_src.tgz [07:56] Second time restart gdm now i cant see my desktop anymore is this normal? e.g: https://gist.github.com/1202872 [07:57] jnsl_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980134 [07:57] zruty, is it persistent? [07:57] urlin2u: Yes it is [07:57] jnsl_: found that with zero effort [07:57] tata: sudo apt-get install unp; unp via-xserver-86a-50283_src.tgz [07:57] that will resolve in loss of quality [07:58] jnsl_: how do you figure that? [07:58] ok, now I try [07:58] zruty, if your in the booted OS it will save stuff, until you fill up the casper-rw, your question is a little confusing to me. [07:58] !find oggconvert [07:58] Found: oggconvert [07:58] !info oggconvert [07:58] oggconvert (source: oggconvert): convert media files to free formats. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.3.3-1ubuntu1 (natty), package size 56 kB, installed size 644 kB [07:59] i compare the output, and the converted file has more pixelation, even though it a bigger file [07:59] jnsl_: try oggconvert [07:59] oki [07:59] urlin2u: it is a 80GB drive which I made live by Startup Disk Creator. It works fine and starts up in Ubuntu. Now I wish to copy files from the internal harddisk to the USB harddisk which should still have 79GB left over. [07:59] jnsl_: or READ the mencoder man page [08:01] urlin2u: I can find the internal harddisk in nautilus, but not the 79GB on the live USB harddisk. [08:01] zruty, I believe it may show the other partition in computer or the home left panel, on the boted live not sure though. [08:01] hi there [08:01] booted* [08:02] is it possible to connect to your own ubuntu system without using the loop interface? I want my setup to think it is a connection comming from an external system [08:02] urlin2u: That's my issue: I can not find it anywhere [08:04] url [08:04] zruty, the usb creator is for thumbs, I would have done a full install, on a partition big enough yo would be set then. As it is the casper-rw=persistent will fill up after awhile and can't be cleaned. [08:05] urlin2u: Yes, but this suits my other purposes better. I think I found the partition... on /cdrom [08:06] Action parsnip: terminal say: Cannot open: No such file or directory [08:07] my file is on hard disk [08:07] tata: you need to change directory to the folder you downloaded the file to [08:07] urlin2u: With nautilus however it seems not possible to copy files onto there though. [08:08] any opinions on zenoss vs opsview for monitoring? [08:08] ActionParsnip: yes. [08:08] zruty, don't think that is the partion [08:08] partition [08:08] urlin2u: Have to do that as root, as the standard live ubuntuuser it does not allow writes to there [08:08] stevethepirate: install gnome-mplayer too, may help [08:08] which folders do i backup in order to get back all the programs and their settings on the fresh setup ? [08:09] ActionParsnip: I have that also :) [08:09] REK_007: all the ones in $HOME (including hidden ones) [08:09] I've been trololololoing asking on #clementine for ages. [08:09] stevethepirate: and w32codecs from medibuntu (I assume 32bit OS) [08:09] ActionParsnip: deja vu back up has included all that do i need /etc or anything else ? [08:10] REK_007: not used it, so I can't comment. You'd have to check the backup scope [08:10] urlin2u: I am pretty sure that it is the correct partition. I can see all live files and folders there. [08:10] REK_007: if you have any custom configs in /etc then yes, otherwise you'll be ok [08:10] ActionParsnip: 64-bit. [08:10] zruty, not sure to be honest, a hard way to do it it seems. [08:10] ActionParsnip: included are home /var/cache /lib /lib32 /lib64 /etc [08:10] so it will be ok i suppose [08:11] stevethepirate: then w64codecs [08:11] i will get back all the installed softwares right ? [08:11] urlin2u: Yes... it is a bit hard. Or rather I have to styart nautilus with sudo [08:11] REK_007: make sure the hidden folders from $HOME are in the scope [08:11] Hmm, I actually don't have gnome-mplayer; but I do have mplayer [base] - that ok? [08:11] i dont want to spend hours again downloading the stuffs again and again [08:11] yeah [08:11] made sure of that [08:11] zruty, gksudo [08:11] urlin2u: Now I can put that in a startup script which will be remembered thanks to the persistency [08:11] stevethepirate: i guess, see f gnome-mplayer pulls in anything codec looking, otherwise you can cancel it. Apt-get will show you what it will install. [08:12] zruty: sudo is not suitable for GUI apps [08:12] hyvaa yota [08:12] zruty, you understand that the persistent will fill up and can't be cleaned after a while , and if you reomeve the csaper to get it to boot again you will just have a live cd loosing all the saves in the casper. [08:13] ActionParsnip: cause am doing a new installation will it be any help if i mount root and home on different partitions ? [08:13] I'm tring to setup wireless on my laptop. I have a broadcom card, I've setup the broadcom proprietary drivers, but I have no way to connect to my access point... [08:13] zruty, you can have as big a casper as you want all the other partion if needed. [08:13] partition [08:13] REK_007: it can help with reinstalls, means that you can simply tell any new install to mount the old home partition as /home and the settings will stand [08:14] ActionParsnip: so backup wont be needed in other words [08:14] ? [08:14] JadedJacob: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see access points [08:14] REK_007: it is needed in case the drive dies, but in between reinstalls it will not be needed to restore settings [08:14] JadedJacob: is your hardware recognized ? [08:14] is it possible to connect to your own ubuntu system without using the loop interface? I want my setup to think it is a connection comming from an external system [08:15] ActionParsnip: Just doing an apt-get upgrade quick. [08:15] ActionParsnip: then I'll have a poke around; shot. [08:16] i ran iwlist scan and it only reported lo and eth0 :( [08:16] Giac0m0: http://www.gotossh.com/ maybe [08:16] urlin2u: Yes - but I prefer that the rest of the partition can also still be read without havinhg to startup in the live ubuntu. That way it can be a backup drive and data rescue drive in one [08:16] JadedJacob: then your wifi might have not been recognized [08:17] i did the same on my sister's laptop last week installed the driver did a restart and it worked like a charm :) [08:18] :( [08:18] i have lenovo with ATI 9802 on natty, but it always freezing everytime i load some applications, pls advise [08:19] ActionParsnip: i was more thinking about a terminal command :) [08:19] but lubuntu found it as a 'broadcom sta wireless driver; [08:19] Giac0m0: could ssh via a proxy, or ssh to a friends system, then back to your system] [08:19] Under 'Additional Drivers' I mean [08:19] !broadcom | JadedJacob [08:19] JadedJacob: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:20] Giac0m0, your going to have to be more specific, there are a lot of variables and confusion in your question. [08:20] cheers ubottu [08:20] its a BCM4311 model [08:21] Hey guys, Im trying to load a image as my GRUB bg, but it says it cant load because of the colors. Can someone tell me how should I configure them? [08:21] when installing 10.10LTS the version of Python appears to be v2.6.5 will it stay at this version even during an update of the server? [08:21] urlin2u: i'm trying to see if my firewall is indeed blocking external connections on a specific port. i started a nc -l and now i want to make a connection to see if my firewall is indeed working. But if i nc execute the connection is accepted. And my guess is: it is accepting the connection because it is seen as a internal socket [08:22] anyone else having less memory leakage with the new hotmail page ? [08:22] Hello. It seems that when I copy and paste something and close the app from which I copied, the content is forgotten sometimes. Is this a bug? [08:22] codemagician are you an ubuntu dev? [08:22] ben_stein, i have ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop for development. my server is 10.04LTS [08:23] ben_stein, if my server version of Python is 2.6.5 I should not upgrade it right? [08:23] codemagician, i'm not sure [08:23] I used to have a passive firefox browser with only 3 tabs ( one of which hotmail ) grow to a staggering 1GB within 4 hours. [08:23] is there a command line tool I can use to check my install version on my ubuntu server? [08:24] codemagician, uname -a ? [08:24] that only shows the kernel versions [08:24] codemagician, lsb_release -a [08:24] o [08:25] urlin2u, ah this just what I needed [08:25] lapion: which version of firefox? [08:25] lapion: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [08:25] Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS [08:25] lucid for me [08:26] so what I'm trying to find out, is will my python version stay the same [08:26] if im always on 10.04 LTS [08:26] codemagician, yes [08:26] what about if I do apt-get upgrade [08:27] codemagician, you get bugfixes/updates, but no "upgrade" [08:27] and that's because its a LTS ? [08:27] codemagician, no, it's in every version the case [08:27] rumpe1, so why is it called upgrade? [08:27] codemagician, that's a very good question :) [08:28] codemagician: you may be a ppa with a newer version, pythin is a huge part of your OS so I personally wouldn't go messing with it [08:28] ActionParsnip, all versions from 4.0 till 6.0.1 and now all of a sudden upon starting the browser I got kicked out of hotmail, the page wanted me to select between local/us msn page, and had to relogin, and now the growth has stopped. [08:28] Any ideas how to debug a kernel freeze? My PC does not have physical ttyS nor lp devices, so a simple serial console to another PC seems out. => after the freeze there is nothing in the logfiles, and the freeze is hard SysRq does not work. [08:28] ActionParsnip, this was my concern [08:29] I assumed that the Python version would remain consistent through the lifetime regardless if I do an apt-get upgrade [08:29] lapion: tried a vanilla mozilla profile? [08:29] ActionParsnipI: do nothing, I am new with linux and I know nothing, thank you anyway [08:29] codemagician, an "upgrade" can be just a change in compilation parameters, to make things better (or more probably safer) [08:29] codemagician: 12.04 is LTS, if you can hold til then you can instal that [08:30] tata: well, what folder did you download the fie to? [08:30] tata: use TAB to complete nicks ;) [08:30] ActionParsnip, at all times I have 3 separate profiles active on the same machine, each with it's own hotmail account . [08:30] codemagician, or just compile your python into a private prefix :) [08:30] ActionParsnip, I wrote a script on Python 2.7.1 on my desktop and it used functionality that wasn't available in Python 2.6.5 on 10.04LTS. So I figure its safer to rewrite to work to 2.6.5 [08:30] ActionParsnip, all of a sudden the problems stopped in all 3 profiles [08:31] lapion: cool, I dont use firefox these days so can't really comment [08:33] ActionParsnip, I even emptied my second profile recently... [08:38] is there a way to get a specific version of python installed alongside my current 2.7.1+ version on my desktop? [08:39] How do I get all dependencies with a package? Trying to get SVN and everything it needs [08:39] lapion: as in renaming ~/.mozilla [08:39] aple: sudo apt-get -f install will satisfy deps [08:39] Thanks [08:40] Where can I find which packages are supported by apt-get? [08:40] aple: http://packages.ubuntu.com or you can search with: apt-cache search something [08:42] codemagician, what features in 2.7 did you use? *curious* [08:42] yacc, tarfile filter callback [08:42] how can iniciate on console mode? [08:42] ActionParsnip, as in removing all files from for example .mozilla/firefox/jcgoi3ss.debug/ [08:42] yacc, I wrote my backup scripts on my desktop and on my server the filter param wasn't available until 2.7 [08:43] lapion: try closing the browser the renaming ~/.mozilla then rerun the browser [08:43] ActionParsnip, you should be able to copy just the modules into a subdirectory of your project, and then use try: import tarfile except ImportError: sys.path.append("mysubdirectory") [08:43] ActionParsnip, wrong destionation, sorry, was meant for codemagician [08:44] ActionParsnip, anyway, any idea how to debug kernel lookups (where the whole PC freezes) that by default do not leave any traces in the log files? [08:44] Hi, everyone. I have a question about some legals. Is it possible to sell not official(not from Canonical shop) Ubuntu CD with using name Ubuntu and using Ubuntu logo on it? [08:45] !legal [08:45] hmm [08:45] ActionParsnip, the .mozilla dir is not the one for each profile. [08:45] jincreator: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal [08:46] lapion: it stores all settings for Firefox and Thunderbird for the user [08:46] ActionParsnip, .mozilla/firefox contains the profiles, and I have 8 of them each of whivh me a browser with it's own extra plugins fully separate profile. [08:46] any GIT guis for ubuntu like tortoise GUI? [08:46] How do I find my UUID for one of my partitions..? [08:47] devcalais: sudo blkid [08:47] cheers :) [08:47] ActionParsnip, please dig deeper into firefox/mozilla info, the system is a lot complexer. [08:47] .mozilla-thunderbird is for thunderbird [08:48] (or .thunderbird in some distros) [08:48] devcalais, sudo blkid [08:48] .mozilla/firefox/* contains separate firefox. [08:49] I have been using mozilla/firefox/seamonkey/thunderbird since '98 [08:49] urlin2u: cheers! === lion42 is now known as Guest10185 [08:50] ActionParsnip: Then is it possible to sell CD from ubuntu iso file, but not use Ubuntu's logo? === Guest10185 is now known as lion42_ [08:50] lapion: like I said, the .mozilla contains settings for both apps, the fact that it is stored in subfolders or sub-subfolders is moot === root is now known as Guest7035 [08:51] Is it possible to set [in Gnome3] a single image spanned across two backgrounds [or independant backgrounds] [08:51] lapion: renaming the folder then rerunning the app will generate a vanilla ~/.mozilla folder, if teh browser behaves the same it is the application at fault. If it is fine then some addon or setting you have is causing the issue [08:51] ActionParsnip, each profile has it's own folder containing it's own settings. [08:51] stevethepirate: Gnome3 isn't supported here [08:52] lapion: yes but within .mozilla [08:52] lapion: isn't it? [08:52] ActionParsnip, I have several profiles and your advice would cut them all 8 off at the knees...... [08:53] test [08:53] lapion: they are all still stored within the sngle folder, hence me recommending to rename it [08:53] lapion, you can also run firefox -P and create a new plain profile. [08:54] ActionParsnip, yacc please stop reading hitwords and start reading the whole sentences written. [08:55] lapion: try removing addons is all I can suggest. Firefox is an atrocious browser imho [08:56] lapion: its a simple thing to test, renaming the folder, and it's easy to rename back. So it's worth trying [08:56] hey, I have a hard drive with the name "elements' and I want to rename it, without removing all the data [08:56] is this possible?

[09:35] fhenning09, you shouldn't install an app for that, you can just change that in grub2 itself, although i'm not sure where you should change that... [09:36] buk, sudo service network restart / or the old way / sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. [09:37] Well I got a question how can I determine what drive my mbr is located ?

[10:06] Vista is $150 NZ [10:06] NZD [10:08] Anyone here know whats going on with demonoid? I keep getting a redirect repeatedly [10:09] whats the benefit of triple boot you can only run a single os natively at a time [10:09] Where can I ask question about debhelper? [10:09] anywhere u want to lol [10:10] fhenning, demonoid is not ubuntu-related support. [10:10] any help with the disappearing mouse pointer? [10:11] Damo22 for testing. [10:11] and for fun :) [10:12] I must be doing somerhing wrong, in Windows I can connect to my server using PuTTy, Raw method, on an IP and port [10:12] but telnet just sits on 'Trying...' [10:12] (in Ubuntu) [10:12] bel are you using firewall? [10:12] belgianguy: telnet? [10:13] belgianguy: you should use 'ssh' to connect to the ssh server [10:13] phantome, no I don't think so, does ubuntu have it ? [10:13] belgianguy: yes, but default disabled [10:14] oCean, well it's not SSL, it's actually plain HTTP, but not on the HTTP port [10:14] i guess you are certain that you have installed sshd [10:14] belgianguy: why are you talking about putty then? [10:14] wait, are you trying to connect with putty to your http server? [10:15] belgianguy: putty is a client to connect to port 22 (ssh server) [10:15] oCean: Windows Vista/7 doesn't have a telnet client installed by default. [10:15] Putty connects to anything. [10:15] VxQe: yes I know [10:15] Including telnet. [10:15] belgianguy: please explain what you are trying to do [10:15] !nl belgianguy [10:15] !nl| belgianguy [10:15] belgianguy: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [10:16] :) thanks, I'll explain [10:16] I'm running a WebSocket server on a port that is not 80 [10:17] eg 9090, on a server called myserver [10:17] now this myserver is happy to respond if I connect to it using 'Raw mode' PuTTy on Windows [10:17] port forward 80 > 9090 [10:18] WebSocket is just HTTP with an upgrade [10:18] but the server is listening on 9090 [10:18] I can connect to it, and then just paste a custom made handshake, and it will respond [10:19] but I'm not versed well enough to do that in Ubuntu [10:19] belgianguy: so you want to connect to it via ubuntu? [10:19] yes [10:20] belgianguy: telnet myserver 9090 [10:20] that gets stuck on Trying... === sena is now known as senayar [10:20] Hello Ubuntu! Im trying to run virtualbox inside a xen virtual machine :) virtualbox compaints that it cant find the kernel source. do you know how to install it? apt-get install WHAT? [10:21] bel without being sure, i think this is normal [10:21] telnet isn't raw [10:21] phantome, but is there a tool to use raw? [10:21] try connecting through your browser : http://myserver:9090 [10:21] Is there an Ubuntu channel for Translators? [10:21] belgianguy: try netcat: /bin/nc myserver 9090 [10:21] or putty for linux :D [10:22] ephan: #ubuntu-translators [10:22] (netcat is oneway communication) [10:22] thanks oCean [10:22] phantome: sure, but you'd still get a response for a listening process [10:23] phantome: oh wait, I see what you mean, not necessarily a response [10:23] :D [10:24] bel in the web page of putty there is a version for linux [10:25] phantome, do'h should have checked that, thanks [10:25] (you have to compile it though:D) [10:25] Anyone here know how to get Vietnamese Unikey working in Ubuntu like Windows does? I got a working Unikey (Ibus installed), but the typing doesn't work like the Windows Unikey. Are there differences? I'm trying to use Telex. [10:25] netcat doesn't respond btw, but Chrome connects to it, and then closes for an odd reason [10:26] btw, anyone know how to solve the disappearing mouse problem in natty? [10:26] I think it's because 14+ support a different standard, so I wanted to try to what handshakes it would respond [10:26] belgianguy: doesnt the client need to listen on a port too? [10:27] damo22, in PuTTy (Windows) once established, I can send some text (request) to the text, and the response would be there in the same window [10:29] Hi. I want to make some software of mine accessible to Ubuntu users by making a package. How exactly do I do that? How to I make that easily accessible to users? [10:29] belgianguy: should be able to use nc -l 9090 in one terminal and nc myserver 9090 in the other terminal and make sure you tell the server to use port 9090 to echo back? [10:30] damo22, I see, so it has a listener and a sending component [10:30] ambro718: by making a PPA [10:31] belgianguy: sorry im not familiar with websocket though [10:31] damo22, it's HTTP in fact, with some extra fields, part of HTML5 :) [10:31] MonkeyDust: thank you, I'll look it up [10:31] how to find a file in ubuntu via terminal??? [10:32] belgianguy: please join #ubuntu-nl [10:32] damo22, i wansn't sure what Websocket was either, good 'ld wikikpedia enlightened me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket [10:32] cheenu: find [10:33] damo22, i know that....but how to make use of that command????pls tell me the syntax [10:33] cheenu, in addition to find there is locate or whereis depending on what you're looking for [10:33] MonkeyDust: his english seems pretty good to me [10:33] cheenu, "find / -iname FOO" [10:33] zykotick9, i am looking for directories... [10:33] cheenu: find ./ -name -type f [10:33] cheenu: in that case -type d [10:34] cheenu, name vs iname -- iname will be case Insensitive [10:35] I would like the email generated by internally (e.g. mdadm) to be forwarded to an inter-net email account.... how do I do this? [10:38] ok fine [10:39] quiet today [10:39] it's really so.. [10:42] Any help, I just installed new Ubuntu. My computer chatters when processor is doing work [10:42] No problem with Lubuntu [10:42] or Crunchbang === leet is now known as Guest61533 [10:44] lartz: is the storage drive old? [10:44] Hehellloo [10:45] hmm 3 years max [10:45] lartz: hmm, should be ok. How much RAM do you have? [10:45] 2gb [10:46] lartz: that's plent. I thought you'd say 256Mb which would make your system use swap more and explain the noise [10:46] This problem came with LTS version, no problem with 11.04 (Natty) version. Weird? [10:46] and that noise comes from speakers [10:46] lartz: so where is the problem if it's not in 11.04? [10:47] 10.42.2 LTS version [10:47] lartz: then why not just use Natty... [10:48] lartz: maybe the newer kernel makes things nicer for your hardwre [10:48] No idea, I use that then. What difference betheen natty and lts version [10:49] natty works with me? 1.6ghz, 2gb ram and no idea about video card [10:49] lartz: kernel version and some package versions [10:50] i have trouble with my sound on my mythtv box, it doesnt remember the mixer levels when i reboot [10:50] damo22, did you do 'alsactl store ' after settings are good? under the same user? [10:50] damo22: could add a startup item to set the levels. You can control them with cli commands [10:51] brianbug yes [10:51] actionparsnip i hacked my rc.local to do sudo alsactl restore [10:52] but it doesnt work, however when i run rc.local manually it works [10:52] how do I setup postfix so I can email out of my computer? [10:52] Firefox and other programs are using about 800MiB of memory and yet System Monitor says I'm using 1.6GiB of memory and 390MiB of swap. What. The. Heck. [10:53] damo22: very strange, could add a startup item to your desktop session instead [10:53] damo22, try this: preferences -> startup application ' /usr/bin/amixer -q -c 0 -- sset Master 40% [10:53] Hemebond: can you pastebin the output of: free -m [10:53] damo22: You put "sudo" in rc.local? -_- [10:54] lasers, no i went by memory, i dont use sudo there [10:54] damo22: Good. Just checking. [10:54] damo22: you can add a startup entry to run rc.local should be ok [10:54] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/685158/ [10:55] damo22: Try "sudo alsactl store 0" [10:55] damo22: It's probably for nothing -- but 0 implies first profile. [10:55] Hemebond: if you run: top it should show the main culprits RAM use [10:55] okey thanks for help im going to try 11.04 now [10:56] Lasers: i have stored the state successfully because when i run sudo alsactl restore it comes good, but i want this to run automatically when i start my computer [10:56] ActionParsnip: VIRT? [10:57] damo22: You're almost there. You have to figure out how to make it work for your setup. [10:58] Lasers: my workaround is to bind one of my remote control buttons to run "/bin/bash /etc/rc.local" [10:59] Hemebond: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_top.htm [10:59] ActionParsnip: Hmm, it seems things do add up to 1.5GiB. [10:59] I really do need to upgrade :-( [10:59] zykotick9, : its not finding the directory but searched completely [11:00] cheenu, what command did you use? [11:00] Hemebond: just use LXDE, you'll be ok. I use systems with less resources [11:01] ActionParsnip: That's true. I did try to install it once... (actually it might still be installed).. but I couldn't figure out how to switch to it. [11:01] ActionParsnip: It never showed up at the login window. I'm planning to re-install the OS some time. === nick9892 is now known as StuBb0rn === DRW__ is now known as DRW_ [11:02] Hemebond: oneiric is out soon ;) [11:03] zykotick9, : find ./ cricket -type f...............where cricket is my directory to be searched [11:03] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm not sure if it will be Ubuntu this time :-( [11:03] Hemebond: it's not always the answer [11:03] cheenu, "type f" ONLY looks for files, use "find / -iname cricket" [11:04] cheenu, also ./ means search for your present location and below ONLY [11:06] if you reinstall a new ubuntu system on the system partition.. and leave the home partiotion intact [11:07] is it not nessesary to remove all confi dot files in home ?? [11:07] bashelina: Not really, but it might help avoid problems. [11:08] bashelina, the .FOO_STUFF in home CAN cause issues (if it's different versions OR if there are configuration problems in your home settings) [11:08] Hemebond, the new isntalled applications wont overwrite to old dot files right ? [11:09] zykotick9, so i should try to remove each one of them ? [11:09] bashelina: Not if they can use them. I usually restore application directories to retain application settings. [11:09] bashelina, ONLY remove them if there are issues [11:09] But I do it on a per-application basis. [11:09] yep. ok thx guys i know what to do [11:11] hello. I can't run a file in the terminal, it's in current directory, the filename is 100% correct, and still I get no "command not found" [11:11] xfce_murderer: chmod? [11:11] whats up everyone. anyone in here have experience with configuring a vpn client to use a cisco profile? [11:12] xfce_murderer, ./COMMAND [11:12] yeah, use openvpn [11:12] trying to use a .prf? [11:12] any idea how to change wlan N to G (using RTL8192CU module from realtek page, compiled module) [11:12] xfce_murderer: you have to make sure its executable, then './' to tell it "look in the current directory for this program" [11:12] yeah [11:14] I had problems with import, so what I did was take the .prf, view with less...then take the group password hash, and use one of the many cisco password crackers to get the real password, then manually config a new connection [11:15] mainemike: i dont know the network secrets though [11:15] there is my pass, the group pass, and a network secrets key. [11:15] hi all, how to enable my onboard wifi card ? [11:15] and DW-126 [11:16] usb wifi card, [11:16] thanks, that helped. still, I'm trying to configure openvpn key maker according to instruction, but when trying to run vars i get " No /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/openssl-0.9.8.cnf file could be found" What is this? [11:16] that's okay - they're in the .prf. The password(s) in the .prf are Cisco type 5 or 7. [11:16] You take the hashed password and put it into one of the Cisco password cracker utils out there - there's alot of them [11:16] [ 3894.398237] brcm80211: fail to load firmware brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw [ 3894.398244] brcm80211: Failed to find firmware usually in /lib/firmware/brcm [11:17] why ??? [11:18] think typically the .prf is a type 5 password [11:18] !broadcom | corehook [11:18] corehook: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [11:18] hello, i'm using apache2 on ubuntu, i have delete by mistake the "sites-available" directory, someone can help me to recover it ? [11:18] ok, i will have to go look all this up. was hoping for a simple import but that doesn't look like its gonna happen lol [11:18] i have not a specific files, i just want to recover default one [11:18] BackTrack has Debian packages with Cisco password crackers in it. [11:18] thx, try [11:19] you going to use OpenVPN? [11:19] corehook: the firmware is proprietary, you need to install the tool to extract YOUR firmware from your system and the error will go [11:19] mainmike, yeah i have that on a flash drive if i need to. [11:20] danub: Let me see if I can find you the original instructions I used to try to import a Win .prf into OpenVPN...there is a way...brb [11:20] where i can got MY firmware ? [11:21] danub: sorry..it's not a .prf but a .pcf [11:21] mainemike: yeah, i knew what you meant [11:21] :) [11:21] danub: you using OpenVPN or VPNC? [11:21] either/both. whichever will import i will use :P [11:22] corehook: read the guide ubottu gave, it tells you the package you need to extract it [11:23] my PC has 240mb ram, p3 processor and 16 mb video card. which ubuntu will suiteme?? [11:23] danub: more ?s - you using NetworkManager or traditional ifup/ifdown?

[11:25] Manan, someone just answered you [11:25] i used to use iwconfig but i cant seem to make it work with modern stuff [11:25] Manan: I genuinly wouldn't advise trying to use that as a day to day desktop as you're moving away from modern software requirements quite a distance [11:25] okay, then you see on your menubar, your NM icon? if you're wireless, should show signal strenght, if you're wired, should show a cable plugged into a jack [11:26] mainemike: yeah.....? [11:26] yeah ikonia, but i want to use some linux.. [11:26] right mouse click on it, go to VPN Connections [11:26] Configure VPN [11:26] Manan, possibly damn small linux?

VPN connections? [11:28] Manan: probably but it will be slow to multitask [11:28] i went to the vpn, configure, but I don't see an import button. is it at the bottom? (reason i ask is that i am on a netbook and sometimes, windows are too big for me to see the buttons at the bottom) [11:29] Hi. :D [11:29] damo22 is your name damodar?

[12:01] Stanley00, yeah : include "site-enabled" [12:01] dual monitor [12:01] i havce readon [12:01] and whilt booting is two monitors [12:02] and now problem with second desktop [12:02] Stanley00, what should i do, i never user virtual hosts [12:02] hey does anyone think this PC with 11.04 on it --> http://goo.gl/aB4eH would be fine at 1080 playback? [12:02] Stanley00, never used virtual hosts [12:02] ActionParsnip: I tried to use shred but it only does files, not directories [12:02] what i have to do to reconfigure this? [12:02] openlink: are you trying to reobtain the sites-available directory that you deleted through apt? [12:02] In GIMP, how do I make it print the whole page, and not leave white boarders? [12:03] openlink: sorry, I dont know about apache, you should ask someone else, sorry... [12:03] Hello guys, im bit new to ubuntu, i have dell 5110 which has geforce 525 on it, is there any way how could i get that card working?? [12:03] Stanley00, ok [12:03] Lantizia, 1.6 GHz Atom with onboard VGA, I "personally" doubt it, but maybe [12:04] dejwoo: System: Administration: Additional Drivers. [12:05] i have two monitors conected to my raedon vga card with the two of themn detected, the problem is the screen size... [12:06] zykotick9, dual core and 64bit though [12:06] i used xrandr --auto [12:07] help help help [12:07] jaco: try arandr? [12:07] what command is to configure as it [12:08] dejwoo: Does that help? [12:08] :RedViper i tried that, but after i activated driver, unity stopped working, switch to classic mode, in Add.drivers was that driver is active but not in use [12:09] openlink: are you trying to use apt to reobtain the sites-available directory that you deleted? [12:09] RedViper: i heard that it might be problem of nvidia optimus, dont know how to work around that [12:10] Lantizia, ya my netbook has an atom n450, dual core 64 1.66Ghz - and it can't play 1080 video? but I'm certainly not SURE about the one your checking out. Good luck. [12:11] anyone awake? [12:13] Vinn0: barely [12:14] jrib, with apt-get install and purge doesnt work [12:16] dejwoo: Try reinstalling it. I had that same problem myself. The other thing that might help is updates, I updated my computer and it was fine after that. [12:17] RedViper: Okey gonna try it now [12:18] openlink: so did you bother to use --reinstall ? [12:18] openlink: or sudo dpkg-reconfigure apache2 [12:19] openlink: or even rm /etc/apache2 -rf && sudo apt-get purge apache2 && sudo apt-get install apache2 --reinstall [12:19] dejwoo: Let me know on the out come. [12:19] airtonix, no i will do it now [12:19] RedViper: i have in AddDrivers 2 options, Nvidia current, and som Nvidia experimental 3D support, first i try that recommended [12:19] anyone are using teamviewer on ubuntu 11 ? [12:20] openlink: apt won't replace files for a folder that exists if i remember correctly. [12:20] bambanx: I rarely use that... [12:20] hola [12:21] bambanx: just use for support my friend's window :)) [12:21] openlink: so if you remove the /etc/apache2 directory then you'll probably also want to re install any apache mods you installed [12:21] dejwoo: Try the recommended first. If it doesen't work try the other. But you should normally stick with the recommended. [12:22] hi [12:22] RedViper: okey, gonna restart, so will see what happens with recommended [12:22] I saw that ofteon on planet.ubuntu.org there are some screenshots like this one: http://victorpalau.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/final1.png wich software was used to do that? [12:23] airtonix, yes apt doesnt remove files [12:24] airtonix, i tried to remove manually, now i have another error : : 49: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars [12:24] openlink: doing what? [12:25] airtonix, i removed apache2 directory, i reinstall with --reinstall [12:25] RedViper: Nope didnt work, im now in classic mode [12:25] dejwoo: So is it working? [12:25] but apache2 still not exist [12:25] airtonix, but apache2 still not exist [12:26] airtonix, i did "rm /etc/apache2 -rf" then "sudo apt-get purge apache2" then "sudo apt-get install apache2 --reinstall" [12:26] RedViper: it keeps saynig This driver is activated but not currently in use [12:26] openlink: try normal install now [12:27] RedViper: And unity wont work when i have nvidia driver installed [12:27] dejwoo: Ok try updating, Thats how I fixed my problem. [12:28] RedViper: trough update center? [12:29] dejwoo: No, System: Administration: Update Manager. [12:29] RedViper: no updates avalaible, yea i ment that [12:29] airtonix, same error [12:29] RedViper: no updates avalaible in update manager, says im up to date [12:29] openlink: I think you should purge apache2 and apache2.2-common completely [12:30] RedViper: i might try that experimental driver.. [12:30] openlink: Maybe: sudo apt-get install -f [12:30] openlink: first apt-get purge apache2 apache2.2-common [12:30] openlink: after that, use dpkg -l apache2 and apache2.2 common to check for install status [12:30] dejwoo: Ok give it a shot. [12:32] airtonix, i did "apt-get purge apache2 apache2.2-common", after i do apt-get install or dpkg... ? [12:33] dejwoo: Any luck? [12:34] am facing a real problem on my laptop, cant boot any ubuntu i tried 10.4 11.04 etc all ends to freezes and shutdown [12:34] RedViper: need to reboot to get that option so brb..

I have a problem with my ubuntu 10.10 [12:55] sre: tried keyboard settings¿ [12:56] I can't log in Ubuntu [12:56] feel stupid. but I can't find a solution for it. it's like slow keys have been enforced.

Samsung syncmaster 2443, i can't get 1920 x 1200 resolution [12:56] Ntemis, what you mean: "the sound on the right"? right of what...?

[12:58] g0th: but you CAN'T [12:58] i have dell 5110 with kubuntu 10.04 and i have integrate intel video card and NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 525m card... how to switch to nvidia.. ?? pls some help [12:58] this is a serious pain [12:58] this will cost me two days of work [12:58] g0th: BanMeIfUsuckCock [12:58] oops [12:58] sorry, wrong buffer [12:59] lol [12:59] g0th: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/thunderbird-message-filter-imp/ [12:59] Ntemis, I have only analog stereo and headphones [12:59] g0th: look at that, see if it works for you [12:59] any idea why my ubuntu server fqdn doesnt resolve after i set a static ip on it even though the dns record is updated [13:00] lucas71: search better you must have digital out someplace [13:00] zapotah: how do you know the dns name is updated ? [13:00] any way to get back the default keyboard setting. I feel this must be something hanging from earlier versions. [13:00] its on a different server and the record points to a correct address [13:01] zapotah: ok, so what is the fully qualified domain name of the machine [13:01] zapoubuntu.zaponet.local [13:01] I only log in Ubuntu via Recovery Mode. [13:01] ikonia: shame on you, yo should kick yourself ;) [13:01] How do I log in ubuntu? [13:01] zapotah: if you type "nslookup zapoubuntu.zaponet.local" does it respond with an ip ? [13:02] and the resolv.conf is set so that yes it does [13:02] but [13:02] wtf [13:02] zapotah: stop the language [13:02] I haven't... [13:02] the address has changed [13:02] even though the configuration is the same [13:03] no additional interfaces have been configured [13:03] zapotah: so you know it's resolving from that dns server, so you need to contact someone to find out why you dns server is wrong [13:03] zapotah: make sure you don't have an entry in /etc/hosts [13:04] Ntemis, i havent [13:04] it's like quick double tap on a key isn't allow. like I need 1 second delay before the second keystroke for it to register. [13:04] else it's goog [13:04] good [13:04] what should and shouldnt be in the hosts file [13:04] ? [13:04] zapotah: what ever you want, it's your machine [13:04] yes but theres ofc the 127.0.0.1 for the machine itself [13:05] but can that interfere with the name resolution? [13:05] so. password will be pasword with my touchspeed [13:05] zapotah: no, as thats localhost [13:05] thought so [13:05] zapotah: the issue is the server in /etc/resolv.conf - contact whoever manages that and ask them to fix your dns setup [13:05] i manage it [13:05] ^^ [13:05] zapotah: then fix it [13:05] what is an easy way to clone a working machine to another identical machine - they are both netbooks [13:06] have to restart the server [13:06] or both [13:06] jpmh: a running machine? [13:06] zapotah: don't have to restart anything [13:06] and the dhcp which updates the a records [13:06] hi, i've noticed the package names have for ubuntu packages, i used to use vmware-open-vm-tools-kmod-server and vmware-open-vm-tools-nox, have these been replaced by open-vm-tools? [13:06] i can resolve windows server names no problem [13:06] i asked in vmware and got pointed here [13:07] (don't see how, since it's a vmware.com hosted repo) [13:07] and my router and everything else [13:07] just not the ubuntu servers [13:07] iceroot: yes - themachine I want to clone is the one that I am on right now [13:07] zapotah: you just said you could resolve them [13:07] i allready installed ubuntu. is it possible to make 60gb partition for win7 with gparted? i can't resize hdd [13:07] hmm [13:07] !clone | jpmh [13:07] jpmh: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:07] jpmh: if you only want the same packages [13:08] jpmh: the other solution is to dump the hard disc e.g. with dd [13:08] lets try from a different machine [13:08] iceroot: seems the dd method would be better because I wuld get everything, correct? And I do want AN EXACT clone [13:34] i seriously dont get this [13:34] i did nothing [13:34] and now it works [13:34] O.o [13:35] i checked everything from router dns conf and the dns server logs and the ubuntu server configurations and everything [13:35] well [13:35] it works now [13:35] z.z [13:35] Hiyas all [13:35] I <3 Ubuntu [13:35] Which setting on apache 2.2 on ubuntu makes that php pages are interpreted [13:35] without the extension being given in the request?

Is there any way to pin a launcher (main menu) on the top panel other than with right-clicking the panel? [14:00] xangua: thats not really helpful. [14:00] Pici: well he is asking for lux 2.0 and it is already on natty [14:00] lyx [14:00] For some reason my top panel does not acknowledge a right-click. [14:00] 10.10 != natty [14:01] natty only has 1.6.7 i need 2.0.0 [14:01] ooh that :S [14:01] BluesKaj: I wantes a live CD so I chose the middle one: "Try it from a CD ...". Then what's next? Where's the URL? [14:01] bhm: Package versions are not typically upgraded within a release unless they are in response to a security fix. You might be able to find a PPA for lyx 2.0 though. [14:01] bhm: then compile it yourself or search a ppa at launchpad ;) [14:01] I would try building it from the source myself. [14:02] no ppa's. would love to build from source myself but am stuck... [14:02] any guidelines? [14:02] Ask more helpful questions. [14:03] bhm: you tell us, we are not magicians to know what you are stuck at ;) [14:03] vlt: is there something wrond with your browser ? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download , click on "start download" [14:04] how do i build lyx 2.0.0 from tar.gz and post it on launchpad as ppa [14:04] ? [14:04] BluesKaj: That won't give an URL, would it? [14:04] bhm, Perhaps this will get you rolling: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [14:04] sidewinder1: thanks :-) [14:04] Forget all that launchpad/ppa business. Just download the source, compile it, and run it. [14:04] NP [14:04] BluesKaj: (The browser is Firefox on Ubuntu, btw.) [14:05] vlt: you're on irssi , why ? you can't download with that [14:07] bhm: This might be helpful: https://launchpad.net/~lopeztobal/+archive/maths?field.series_filter=maverick === marlun_ is now known as marlun [14:07] Sidewinder: Shouldn't it be possible to run a sudo apt-get which pulls the lyx 2.0.0 from the 11.04 repo, even though I'm on 10.04? [14:08] You're on 10.04? I thought you were on 10.10... [14:08] sorry 10.10 [14:08] ... [14:08] Sure, you can get the .deb from 11.04, but odds are it depends on some other packages from 11.04, which depend on some others, etc. [14:08] bhm, For that to work, I believe you'd have to have the 11.04 repos enabled; but that's just my guess. [14:09] BluesKaj: I didn't understand your last question. How's irssi related to me being not able to find the download URLs anywhere on ubunti.com? [14:09] *ubuntu [14:09] B0g4r7: Well, he can try to recompile it? [14:09] Sidewinder1: bhm mix repositories = bad idea [14:09] yacc, yes, That would be my recommendation. [14:09] xangua, Agreed, but he/she did ask. :-) [14:11] ok. Thanks for the advice. I do the compile and get on with it. [14:11] bhm: did you see my link to the ppa?

[14:45] Another one of those... ubuntu/linux in business environment questions: is there an equivalent to the Microsoft Remote Desktop for Ubuntu?

[14:47] oCean: you use nx on the local box to talk to itself, or does it take over the display only when connected remotely? [14:48] BluesKaj: I missed it indeed. So I deleted all the files from that dir, there were to for a freenx repo. The error after apt-get update is still there though. [14:48] IdleOne: I changed the mirror a few times already. Thanks for you help though. [14:48] mbeierl: at nomachine.com I downloaded the nxserver. I have several desktop apps running there, and from (various) clients I start nxclient to "re-attach" to the running applications [14:49] mbeierl: running there means running at a server, not at nomachine.com :p [14:50] oCean: of course. I'm just slightly confused at how this works when I'm physically at the machine. Is the display that is running the one and the same as the nx server? [14:50] So I just cp -anxv'd over the content of my old disk to a new disk [14:50] it seems most things are working, however, a few things seem to be missing.

[14:51] Etherael: cp is not a good backup tool. especially when it's invoked as a non-root user ;) [14:51] mbeierl: well, I use it remotely, but you can also 're-attach' locally, don't know how to explain better - there's lots of info on the nomachine.com site === James is now known as Guest43209 [14:52] mneptok, I invoked it as root [14:52] I only wanted some of the files on the old disk [14:52] oCean: I believe what he wants to know is if when he connects remotely will anybody sitting at the machine see what he is doing [14:52] moved from a 500gb to a 120gb (hd to ssd) [14:53] hi all Q).

Something comes up and I'd like to access the desktop remotely and continue working on the same programs/display as the local machine, without anyone physically at the computer being able to access the desktop or see what is being done. I'm also trying to come up with a simple way of doing [15:01] mbeierl: with nx you can do that. your message got cut off at " I'm also trying to come up with a simple way of doin" [15:01] mbeierl: really, have a read at nomachine.com :) [15:01] I have a gpg key assigned - the public and private both show when I do gpg --list-keys and --list-secret-keys - it lets me encrypt with -r and the user and sign with it - but when I try and decrypt it tells me: secret key not available - what am I missing here [15:02] RobinR: do you see an entry for Windows in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?

[15:04] RobinR: ok good. Now try rebooting and see if at the grub screen you can select windows and boot to it. [15:05] B0g4r7: It's even stranger when issuing signals that don't end a process, like sudo kill -SIGUSR1 {procid of dd} which makes dd print out progress stats.

(2) When I got to the GRUB installation step, it tells me that "This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won’t be possible! grub-setup: error: Embedding is not possible, but this is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume" [15:22] I have a raid set up on a non-root partition. I want to reinstall ubuntu to my root partition and then reconnect to the raid. Will that work, or will I run into problems? [15:22] Some articles on Google tell me that I need to do "parted /dev/sda set 1 bios_grub on", but then GRUB will just overwrite and corrupt my LVM partitions, right? [15:22] irc.standbymechat.com [15:22] Adamz, is that related to ubuntu?

But, in the process the server was rebooted and is now coming up with this error: http://www.hireawebgeek.com/lamp.jpg . Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

Thanks. [15:35] to try/// [15:35] Sam___: Why would it not be safe? becuase it doesn't have any antivirus programs? [15:35] safe? [15:35] Safety is in the hands of the user. [15:35] how can i fix a broken package guys ? [15:35] ActionParsnip - It's a ubuntu distro that Turnkey puts out for a VM environment (an applicance per se) [15:36] B0g4r7: screen goes blak - mouse cursor is there but does not move, caps lock lite does not toggle, basically dies [15:36] Sam___: Nothing is "safe".. But Ubuntu is probably more "safe" than windows since no-one would like to deliebretly crack into your system as a specific target.. [15:36] B0g4r7: also no disk activity [15:36] jpjp, and you executed what command to cause this to happen? [15:36] i'm trying to run openbox but when i log out and click openbox for the WM it just loads nautilus any idea how to fix/stop that?

[15:38] jpjp, I'm not too sure about the cause of that. I would recommend trying the operating using the command-line tools. 'sudo mkfs /dev/sda2' [15:38] redhare, if you run into another problem like that, you can run the command "killall mozilla" and it will kill all of the mozilla processes. I'm not sure if it will kill others though that depend on mozilla [15:38] So basically, it's no different to Windows in network security? [15:38] operation [15:38] thank you! [15:38] i'm trying to run openbox but when i log out and click openbox for the WM it just loads nautilus any idea how to fix/stop that? do i have to remove nautilus? [15:38] I have a raid set up on a non-root partition. I want to reinstall ubuntu to my root partition and then reconnect to the raid. Will that work, or will I run into problems? [15:39] Sam___: its as secure as you make it, there is no blanket answer [15:39] Okay, thanks for your help. [15:39] :) [15:39] Sam___: Well, it's different; however - it's all about the user.. [15:39] sinistrad, that should work assuming you are using linux's normal software raid system (mdadm). You can first boot from a livecd and tet to see if you can access the existsing raid. [15:40] B0g4r7, Thanks. I should have thought of that! I'll test it out. [15:40] if I install XP after Kubuntu 11.04, the GRUB it will automatically add it in OS boot option menu? === freenode is now known as Guest30170 [15:40] anybody got any ideas at all why it only runs nautilus?

[15:41] how do I tell ubuntu NOT to show the list of users at the login screen [15:41] intgr: Did you see the section "Creating a BIOS Boot Partition" on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_Boot_partition ? [15:41] I suppose that I have V2 [15:41] jony: it will overwrite grub with NTLDR [15:42] jony: you will need to boot to liveCD and reinstate Grub to the MBR [15:42] it's a command in a terminal, that's all, or I must edit grub.cfg? [15:42] B0g4r7: ty - that was a good idea - I now have a formatted partuition [15:43] B0g4r7 - Ok. Now, SDA would be what? the hard drive? An IO error, would that be just a communication error, as if it's not there? [15:43] jony: there are guides around the web# [15:43] For people here who are a bit more keen on hardware, I seem to get driver problems when I install my ATI Radeon HD series video card in the second PCI express slot instead of the first one, is there any way I could still configure it to work? It's been acting up ever since I first swapped, completely reinstalled the drivers and such as well. [15:44] w3bg33k: Normally a hard drive, yes. In a virtualized environment it may be something else, but to the virtualized OS it would appear to be a hard drive, yes/ [15:44] intgr: I've not set something like this up so all I know is what I've seen in the last few minutes. But they are calling it a "BIOS boot partition" and grub2 will use it in addition to MBR. [15:44] Do I need a GPG gey to upload to PPA? [15:44] intgr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CreateBootPartitionAfterInstall [15:44] For some reason it is not able to read from it.

[15:47] usr13: its suppose to be a wm [15:48] I've swapped ATI Radeon video card from the first PCI Express slot to the Second and have since have problems using it, how could I fix this? [15:48] hi ya'll [15:48] usr13: it can run without DE afaik [15:48] "Openbox is a free window manager"... That doesn't sound like a click-to-launch kind of thing to me... [15:48] I want a user to not be able to open a terminal but to be able to authenticate samba, smpt, imap, pop [15:48] fmina: Well, ok a window manager. What does nautilus have to do with it? Oh, I suppose it is supposed to have a different file manager? Maybe you've yet to install all of the software that comes with openbox? [15:49] ActionParsnip: i think this is ubuntu related considering on other distros nautilus probably wouldn't be installed by default and it seems to be the ubuntu wm selector at the user screen not running it properly [15:49] I'm really tired, ubuntu freezes up from time to time, and now it restarts suddenly, I don't know what's goin on, and it's pretty annoying. Any suggestions? [15:49] ActionParsnip: DE? [15:49] I guess that can be set up in pam [15:49] Pehnap: the usual remedy is to use aticonfig to write a new xorg.conf file. "sudo aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all" [15:50] too many acronyms, I can't keep up with them all. [15:50] same problem with me, I switched to Mint [15:50] 11.04 seems to be tooo unstable and buggy [15:50] B0g4r7: Ah, thanks mate, let me give that a try. [15:50] and how's it goint now gulzar? [15:50] grumete: Sounds indicative of a hardware problem. I'd look there first. [15:51] Especially the power supply, as well as temperatures.

[15:52] usr13: nautilus shouldn't be involved at all but you know when you login and click the WM to use, ubuntu gnome etc whatever, i click openbox and isntead of openbox all I get is a nautilus window taking up the whole screen and no way to close it [15:52] mint seems to be much stable and the future version 11.10 of ubuntu also seems to be good...atleast better than 11.04 [15:52] yes B0g4r7 [15:52] runs just fine. [15:52] grumete: what CPU? [15:53] mneptok, lenovo z470, core i5 [15:54] with such a configuration you should not get problems... need experts here :) [15:54] I have a question not exactly related to ubuntu, but maybe someone will help. Yesterday I downloaded file from internet and after that, I opened wireshark. There were packets sent between my computer and a server in China... I'm in Europe right now. The protocol was just ICMP, but should I be worried? I have no idea if downloading the file is related (today, I ran it again and wireshark didn't detect anything). [15:54] grumete: very latest Sandy Bridge iteration. you may need to run a kernel newer than what the currently released Ubuntu has. [15:54] grumetre, do you see any kind of error reported when the problem occurs? [15:55] okay guys, I'm trying to make my comp look like a mac for funsies, and I'm following this tutorial: http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23 However, I've got to the part about "configuring the login screen", and you have to you to System > Administration > Login Window > Local tab. However, I don't have the Login window prefs, only Login screen, which doesn't have any tabs at all. Ideas? [15:55] re [15:55] mang0: whi9ch release are you using? [15:55] fmina: Ctrl-q ? [15:55] grumete: look for a distro shipping at least 2.6.38, or run Ubuntu 11.10 or Debian Wheezy. they'll have newer kernels with better support for recent Sandy Bridge iterations [15:55] so is it a kenel issue mneptok? sandy bridge iteration?? [15:55] ActionParsnip Natty [15:55] mmh [15:56] mang0: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/05/gekosmac-gtk-theme-make-ubuntu-1104.html [15:56] yeah china's after you man [15:56] oh btw mneptok, 11.04 never detected my video card, something I forgot to tell you. [15:56] ummm have to wait for some time (2months) [15:56] grumete: i release a Linux distro today. next week, Intel announces an all new Sandy Bridge line, and commits support for it to the mainline Linux kernel for review. my distro is not going to work well on that hardware. [15:56] Hi. New to Ubuntu (11.04). Trying to pin Main Menu to top desktop panel, but accessing panel with mouse right-click is not working (works everywhere else...). Is there some other way to access the top panel? [15:56] fmina: lxpanel > [15:56] > [15:56] My Natty install has 2.6.38-11... [15:56] hiLo: icmp packets are pings.

[15:57] mang0: more thorough : http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/05/07/mac-os-x-theme-for-ubuntu-11-04/ [15:57] Pici, an ICMP packet can be a part of a ping operation. It can me other things too. [15:57] so someone was pinging me, that's it? [15:57] B0g4r7: aye. [15:57] ActionParsnip: Thanks :) [15:57] mang0: try macbuntu [15:57] grumete: i am facing the same thing with an AMD Fusion E-350 platform. real support for it only landed in 2.6.38. === Guest28217 is now known as LjL-Temp [15:57] I see, well thank you very much for your attention mneptok, gulzar [15:58] any time [15:58] B0g4r7 like what for example? [15:58] MonkeyDust: what's that? === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest83229 [15:58] hey I'm gonna see if I can deal with a better kernel then. [15:58] apologies hilo, i would also like to know what's being sent :) email me the packets for analysis? [15:58] grumete: not "better." just "newer." [15:59] hiLo, I'm not that familiar with icmp...I believe a "fragmentation needed" request happens by ICMP, for example. I think there are about 15 different types of ICMP packet. [15:59] for newer- little patience [15:59] hehe you're right mneptok. [15:59] fmina: is - Xdg menu for OpenBox [15:59] installed? [15:59] alright fellas thank you again. [15:59] I don't have it anymore. It said destination not reached (port closed) - something like that. [16:00] how can i tell if my cpu runs on sandy bridge? [16:00] grumete, do you know what kernel you are running? Natty should already come with 2.6.38... [16:00] grumete: Fedora 15 ships 2.6.38. try their LiveCD and see if that newer kernel helps. [16:00] albech: cat /proc/cpuinfo maybe? [16:00] hilo - ah okay, should have saved those packets, would be interesting to see what's being sent [16:00] Anyone advise as to why I have to start DHCP3-SERVER every time I restart the server [16:00] 'uname -a' should reveal your running kernal version. [16:00] B0g4r7 lemmie see which kernel I'm using. [16:00] kernel [16:00] i need help it getting it to start after reboot [16:01] jollyroger, you're right, next time I will. [16:01] grumete: Because it's not enabled ? [16:01] mneptok ok I'll check that out... it's just I always use ubuntu :) [16:01] at least until now.. [16:01] usr13, cannot see it there.. lspci say: Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon 5500/Core i7 [16:01] grumete: The executable bit may not be set for it's script.

I've done everything else, and I'm stumped at what to do with the login screen :/ [16:02] mmh mneptok, B0g4r7 the kernel I'm using is 2.6.38-11-generic-pae [16:03] Just so you know, yesterday I used a torrent site, now I remember I had another ip, that came all along from Syria ..... Well, that's what nslookup said. Ubuntu, indeed. [16:03] grumete: why a PAE kernel? [16:03] mang0: not sure [16:03] hilo - ah with you now.... downloading from syria? [16:03] ActionParsnip: Ah, okay. [16:04] mneptok, to be honest, I just "run" everything the update manager shows me. [16:04] hey every1 if some1 got a energy to help a newbie to set up mobilebroadband internet on my laptop under ubuntu 10.04 send me a pm, thx [16:04] and that's the one I have. [16:04] mang0: could read the script and edit it a little so the bit runs with gksudo or similar [16:04] PAE -- Physical Address Extensions. That was needed for systems with > 4GB of RAM on 32-but architectures. [16:04] mang0: or conact the developer and ask [16:04] grumete: is this an x86-64 CPU? if so, why not just install the x86-64 version and remove the need for a PAE kernel? [16:04] no, no. I used the torrent site, but after I stopped downloading and shut down the torrent client, I had those strange ip's ICMP me. [16:04] CsJHUN: is it a USB device? [16:04] mneptok, ubuntu has been shipping PAE as default 32bit kernel for a while (haven't they?) [16:05] pae is (ironically) default in Lubuntu [16:05] ActionParsnip :yes [16:05] People, I trying to connect ADSL modem via USB. Please help. The hex ID I got by running 'lsusb' is 12a7:3160 Trendchip Technologies Corp.. Please help. [16:05] mang0: could read the script and edit it a little so the bit runs with gksudo or similar -----What do you mean by that? Which script? :P [16:05] mneptok, what you said sounds logic, it's just that I have noe idea. [16:05] Is it a bullshit statement to say that an Ubuntu server has no root password? I mean, if sudo -s prompts you for a password, there must be a password right??!?! [16:05] zykotick9: dunno. i use Debian. a default PAE kernel on x86 hardware seems, to me, to be somewhat of a bad idea. but i'm no kernel hacker. [16:05] CsJHUN: ok then have the device inserted and run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [16:05] metacoder, now google for that device ID, or grep for it in the kernel source. [16:06] webfact: no [16:06] webfact: no its not, use your normal user and use sudo [16:06] hilo - Syrians want your computer ;) [16:06] B0g4r7: Then what do I do? Please elaborate. [16:06] mneptok, well 3-6% slower is a bit of a draw back. I run Debian as well. [16:06] webfact: if you use : sudo -s use YOUR user password [16:06] does anybody know how to get a split screen in termnator? [16:06] is there an IRC for oneiric questions? [16:06] iheartubuntu: #ubuntu+1 [16:06] iheartubuntu: #ubuntu+1 [16:06] ty [16:06] Braber01 Termnator? [16:06] ty [16:06] terminal? [16:06] grumete: i would grab a Live CD of Fedora 15 (which you can be sure has 2.6.38 and is already released and considered stable). get the x86-64 version. boot it, run it. see wha'ppens. [16:06] jollyroger hehe, maybe, you never know... [16:07] webfact: Just like Desktop addition, the server install comes with root account disabled. [16:07] ActionParsnip: The problem is someone borked the sudoers file, so the one account we were able to control the server with is now useless. Guy who set it up says there is no root password. I just dont understand how that can be. [16:07] +1 for terminator [16:07] metacoder, hopefully that will give you an idea of what driver (kernel module) to use, or if one exists. [16:07] webfact: then boot to liveCD and you can edit the file [16:07] B0g4r7: Googling didn;t help much. [16:07] ActionParsnip how its help me if i know the hex ID of the device, i periovusly tried usb_modechange, but never got connection [16:07] *edition not addition [16:07] CsJHUN: you can use it to find guides online [16:07] hilo - we would if we had the damned packets/bytes hahah [16:07] CsJHUN: often, simply installing usb modeswitch isn't enough [16:07] ActionParsnip: Remote web server. Going to have to go into emergency mode in middle of night. [16:07] grumete: if Fedora's x86-64 2.6.38 kernel runs well, you can be fairly certain Ubuntu's will, too, once it is released. [16:07] mneptok: I'm gonna get that then sir. [16:08] webfact: then tell your admin not to mess with the sudoers file [16:08] grumete: "sir" is my father. i'm either "hey you" or, if you know me, "yo jerkface." ;) [16:08] webfact: Is it the sudoers file or /etc/group ? [16:08] ActionParsnip ok i will check it, im just tried a common solution, never tought there is a reaaal specific 1, maybe back from phone soon :) thx [16:08] hehe [16:09] usr13: They told me it was the sudoers file (Im not on site). [16:09] HEY YOU! [16:09] webfact: Ok, just a suggestion. [16:09] hell-Looze [16:09] I want to use my verison broadban modem [16:09] is there a driver-son for it? [16:09] ActionParsnip: Id say he's learned now. On this root thing ... so the root account is disabled, but it still runs the processes, you just cant log in as root? [16:09] usr13: Thanks anyway [16:09] webfact: correct, the account must exist [16:09] root login is disabled by default, yes. [16:10] ActionParsnip: Okay, got you. Thanks [16:10] B0g4r7: I was disconnected for a moment. Please reply again. [16:10] I'm doing an apt-get upgrade and it's been stuck for about an hour at with this message: "Setting up libuuid1 (2.17.2-0ubuntu1.10.10.2) ..." Any ideas on how I can fix it? [16:10] The password sudo prompts for is your account password, not the root password. [16:10] i am not into anything but getting myu verizon modem up [16:11] B0g4r7: In 12a7:3160 I think 12a7 is the manufacturer ID, so should I grep only 3160? [16:11] webfact: Since you do not know for sure, you should ask. (He may have enabled root account and that is why he changed sudoers.) [16:11] usr13: its not even running openbox though, it just loads nautilus for some strange reason [16:11] metacoder, I just said that hopefully that will give you an idea of what driver (kernel module) to use, or if one exists. [16:11] JoeyJoeJo: could kill the dpkg process and then run: sudo apt-get -f install [16:11] JoeyJoeJo: restart the pc and choose Recovery in the grub, there, you can repair [16:11] !aptfix | JoeyJoeJo [16:11] JoeyJoeJo: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [16:11] Yeah, I would grep for the two IDs individually. [16:11] fmina: What window manager is running? [16:11] B0g4r7: where is the kernel source? [16:12] meta-coder, typically in /usr/src/linux if it's installed. You can download kernel source from kernel.org. [16:12] fmina: You could do: Ctrl-Alt-F6 and login and pkill nautilis === altin is now known as ukshini [16:12] ok, thanks guys, that was helpful [16:12] bye [16:13] ok ill try that [16:13] B0g4r7: If I find something by grep, then what should I do? [16:13] cya pura === ukshini is now known as altin [16:13] usr13: Can you explain that more. You think they _could_ have borked /etc/group and that that would have the same result (but perhaps be fixable)? [16:14] *nautilus [16:14] Hello. I have a user account on an ubuntu machine and i am compiling software that requires libcppunit, however it is not installed on the system. What would be the standard method to notify the (configure) that some of the libraries are installed in some directory like /home/me/opt/libcppunit ? [16:14] I added a repository with apt-add-repository, but it doesn't show up when I run apt-get update, and apt-get install doesn't see the software in the repo. Do I need to tell apt-get which repo to use? [16:14] webfact: Just look at /etc/group and see that the user is added to the groups it needs to be, especilly admin [16:15] vick, this is often done by adding the path to /etc/ld.so.conf. You might also have a look at the LDFLAGS env variable. [16:15] and/or CFLAGS [16:15] B0g4r7: If I find something by grep, then what should I do? What modules and how? [16:15] wwmorgan: you have to apt-get update, first, to activate the new repo [16:15] wwmorgan: apt will look at the versions available and install the latest version available if it is newer than is already installed [16:16] webfact: If the other sysadmin decided to move to a root enabled system, there are a couple of things that he would logically change and /etc/group would be one in particular. [16:16] wwmorgan: which repo did you add? [16:16] usr13: ok it does run openbox but that nautilus is going to come up every time, is there a way to stop that? [16:16] meta-coder, note the file that the match was found in. If it looks like a device driver file, that may be the one you want to load/use. [16:16] Usually the module will be built with the same filename as the source file. Look for it on /lib/modules. [16:16] I'm trying to upgrade to coffee 1.1.1 on 11.04, so I added gezakovacs/coffeescript. I ran apt-get update, but it's still installing the coffeescript from the OS repo [16:17] Well, similar name. [16:17] ubuntu installer runs slow on amd [16:17] B0g4r7: how to load/use? Please help. [16:17] hello can someone tell me how to install seopowersuite iv downloaded folder SEO seopowersuite [16:17] ^ ActionParsnip, thanks [16:17] usr13: Well, the account we used to use for root access is in the adm and admin groups (and some others) but not root. That's no help to us is it? [16:17] miaz: There should be something like "Startup Applications" Look in there. [16:17] Modules are usually loaded using modprobe. [16:17] "sudo modprobe module_name" [16:17] wwmorgan: so if you run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/coffeescript does it say it is unchanged? [16:18] ActionParsnip: yes [16:18] wwmorgan: try sudo apt-get update [16:18] B0g4r7, i will try with LDFLAGS and CFLAGS, i wouldn't have permission to /etc/ld.so.conf [16:18] wwmorgan: ok run: apt-cache policy coffeescript does the ppa show up [16:18] meta-coder, I don't have all the detailed answers. I'm just trying to provide some guidelines to point you in the right direction. [16:18] wwmorgan: That PPA doesn't provide any coffeescript packages for 11.04. [16:19] vick: Cool. also LD_LIBRARY_PATH is one more you may want. [16:19] webfact: Well, you could do ls -l /etc/group and maybe determine from the date when it was last edited. Also /etc/sudoers You could also look at history to see what commands were issued previously, etc. etc. [16:20] Pici: aha. That's probably what it is. ActionParsnip: yep, only the OS repo version shows up as a candidate [16:20] does anyone use seopowersuite [16:20] wwmorgan: only goes up to maverick dude [16:21] thanks all. I'll look at a manual install [16:21] How do I install ubuntu-tweak? I've tried apt-get install, didn't work.... [16:21] mang0: you'll need their ppa [16:21] ActionParsnip: Oh okay, thanks *goes to google* [16:22] webfact: But you 2 need to get together on this. You can't keep doing and undoing configuration changes like this. You need to sit down together and try and get on the same page. [16:22] webfact, how was someone able to mess this system up? That sounds like a problem you should address. [16:23] B0g4r7: haha.. yea, we both had the same idea at the same time. [16:23] hello [16:23] usr13, B0g4r7 Actually I no longer work there. Guess the new guy was just trying some stuff out :S [16:23] mang0: no oneiric yet. Oh well [16:23] lol. Trying stuff out is not something that should be done on a production system. [16:24] question: why wont a 64bit installation of ubuntu run a 64bit exe under Wi.e? [16:24] webfact: Oh, I see. Ok. Well hope you work it out, (AND get paid). [16:24] ActionParsnip: ?! I'm using natty....just found the page for install :P [16:24] Sterist: i'd ask in #winehq [16:24] mang0: easy times, just like any other ppa [16:24] usr13: Negatory on the last part thats for sure. Thanks for the thoughts. [16:24] ActionParsnip: yeah :P [16:25] Can someone load http://gewgle.in with firefox please? I need to get the user agent [16:25] oh well .... === dreamhost is now known as hostdream [16:25] Can anybody tell me how to get intel ethernet driver for ubuntu 10.04 lts ? [16:25] usr13: Yeah, the Ubuntu installer can create this partition for me (if I ask for it) [16:26] igravy: probably already in the default install. Which intel ethernet chip is it? [16:27] intgr: Ok very well. Good luck with it. [16:27] its new intel motherboard dh16 series [16:27] I've uploaded a package to PPA, but there's no indication of it on the PPA web page. Is it just being built? [16:27] a111: done [16:27] usr13: Yeah it's installed and working now :) [16:27] Thanks MonkeyDust [16:27] ambro718: may take a while to show up [16:27] intgr: If not, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CreateBootPartitionAfterInstall [16:27] intgr: Ok good. [16:28] igravy: the board is of no value, we need the ethernet controller chip [16:28] can someone help me? I would like to burn some linux's iso image on a DVD... can I run those image by boot? [16:28] intgr: Sorry, but I was totally in the dark on that issue. I've yet to install on 2tb HD like that. Good to know the issues involved though. I learned something there. [16:28] igravy: if you run: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product one will be the ethernet chip, what is it? [16:29] Synlu: are you downloading the DVD ISO? [16:29] usr13: Yeah, the installer should warn me after partitioning, not before the last step :) [16:29] intgr: haha, yea, for sure. [16:30] I still cant get server to load dhcp3 after server reboot. Any ideas anyone? [16:30] I downloaded a CD ISO I think [16:30] intgr: Maybe something like a bug report should be submitted ?

[16:32] usr13: i got openbox and all that going i just still cant find how to stop nautilus from running at the start, it isnt in openbox autostart [16:32] Synlu: not done it personally, I'd imagine it's different [16:32] Synlu: yes, but is is a waste of a dvd [16:33] hello [16:33] I have Windows 7. I'd like to install Ubuntu alongside in a dual boot configuration. However, the installation wizard is only giving me two options. Use the entire disk (which will remove Windows 7) and manually specify partitions. Why isn't the install side by side option appearing?

[16:37] Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem using the Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller where will find driver for this ? [16:38] when partitioning disks, if I choose encrypted LVM, is it the same result as using truecrypt on a whole partition? [16:38] usr13: could the user selection screen be running it for some reason? [16:38] miaz: This may be a bit out-of-date, but it is claming that Nautilus is a background image? or... ?

[17:14] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/plop-boot-manager-lets-you-boot-from.html how about this Ristovski [17:14] xangua: Ill have a look [17:15] xangua: I dont have so many cds to burn... [17:15] mrgt_ is it connected wirelessly? [17:15] yeah [17:15] you got cups running? [17:15] I don't know.. [17:15] Ristovski: Plop should work. [17:16] Jordan_U: dont have so many cds [17:16] also theyre only CD/R nor RW [17:16] ...... [17:16] after i set up my .htpasswd and .htaccess files, is there a configuration file i need to edit to enforce these/turn the protection on? [17:16] you just said you wanted a way to boot usb from cd and now you say you don't have cd's...... [17:17] Is it possible to change the login theme? Not just the wallpaper/icon, I've got that with ubuntu-tweak, but with the whole theme - buttons fonts etc. In older versions of ubuntu you could do this by going System -> Administration -> Login Window Preferances and then installing a theme. This window is no longer here, how can I install a theme? [17:17] mang0: you can't. GNOME changed how gdm worked in recent releases, and it no longer supports the themes for prior versions. [17:17] mrgt_ make sure cups is running, that the printer has the necessary network information added in the menu, and that you have it pointing to the right URI [17:18] i set my photosmart uptoday wirelessly because i was bored, went well but didnt know the address to point it to. had to google for the uri [17:18] Pici: :O! That seems like a very backwards step :/. Is there any way to install new themes? Rather than GDM? GTK maybe...? Or is it not possible at all? [17:18] zoned, in order for the .htaccess file to be used, you have to use the AllowOverride directive in your virtualhost configuration. I suggest you ask in #httpd for more details [17:18] and it worked after that :D [17:19] gelbihan: in #httpd they will just direct me to the apache basic auth page. it's not the same on ubuntu. there is no httpd.conf, for example. [17:19] mang0: I vaugely recall that you might be able to setup a default gtk theme to take effect, but I don't know how to do that. [17:19] zoned, the directives are the same [17:19] Ristovski: Plop is definitely worth a CD to try. If it works (which it most likely will) it will be very flexible, allowing you to boot anything from USB rather than just a single live system decided at the time you create the CD (like the original guide you mentioned is limited to). [17:19] zoned: They're just stored in site-specific files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ [17:19] zoned, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride [17:19] Holy hell. I rebooted my computer today and I cannot get ubuntu to boot. I get to GRUB and then afterwards a blank screen with the driver endlessly spinning [17:20] Booting to LiveCD is not possible as it seems to stall on probing the harddrive [17:20] Oogypoogy: Have you got a LiveCD? [17:20] ah [17:20] I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration. However, the installation wizard is only giving me two options. The first being to use the entire disk (which will of course remove the Windows 7 installation) and the second being to manually configure the partitions (something I'm concerned about doing). Why isn't the option to install the side by side appearing? [17:20] Oogypoogy: boot in Recovery mode [17:20] Oogypoogy, remove the hard drive..? [17:20] SealedWithAKiss: I've told you why it's not appearing [17:20] SealedWithAKiss: about 15 seconds ago [17:20] Oogypoogy: boot in Recovery mode and choose Repair [17:20] ^ [17:20] I removed the harddrive, but that is the harddrive that has my installation [17:20] How do I boot to recovery? [17:20] I mean from the boot order [17:21] Oogypoogy: it's in the GRUB [17:21] so it boots from LiveCD first [17:21] Pici: Aww, shame. Ah well :/ [17:21] (in your BIOS) === bl4ckcomb|bnc is now known as bl4ckcomb [17:21] Monotoko, I have the boot order set to boot from the LiveCD, it does boot from the LiveCD, but the LiveCD stalls on a blank screen while probing the drives [17:22] hello. i use ubuntu 10.10. when i start a guest session i cannot use my bluetooth-headset there. i can connect to it, but it is not showing up in the device list of the sound preferences. any idea how to use the bluetooth-headset in a guest session? [17:22] Note that My windows installation also boots slowly as it has issues probing that drive - i physically removed the drive and Windows booted up at normal speed.... [17:22] Oogypoogy, it sounds to me like the hardware is screwed...how old is that drive? [17:22] MonkeyDust, so when I get to Grub, do you know which Function key to hit? [17:23] How do I go about creating unallocated space using the partition manager inside the Ubuntu installation wizard? Considering that Windows 7 currently takes up the entire disk? [17:23] hello.. how to increase my brightness on my laptop screen.. i am running 10.04 LTS from my hdd [17:23] Monotoko: Not that old. 2 Year. I am running right now on a USB puppy linux instance [17:23] Can I post a pastebin of my Fdisk -l? [17:24] Oogypoogy, your running on a USB puppy instance with the drive in? [17:24] hello.. how to increase my brightness on my laptop screen.. i am running 10.04 LTS from my hdd [17:24] Yup [17:24] SealedWithAKiss: you'll have to partition manually, shrink the windows partition and create space for ubuntu [17:24] Monotoko, Yup. [17:24] cage_raphel, that's most likely not anything to to with Ubuntu per se. try Fn+ some key [17:24] I was hoping to run some sort of diag on it. [17:24] get inside in power managment [17:24] Oogypoogy, awesome...go for it, and also try to see if you can get the SMART data from that drive [17:24] Can anybody help me with CPU overclock speed problems? I have posted details on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11231106 [17:25] ikonia, can this be done inside the installation wizard? Or will I have to install a 3rd party partition manager? [17:25] Monotoko, http://pastebin.com/d13XBHJz [17:25] OY1R, fn+ .. ? i dont get u ? [17:25] 'lo everyone [17:25] any idea about using a bluetooth headset in a guest session? [17:25] Thanks by the way for all your help guys. Much appreciated. [17:25] kvarley: overclock speed problems ? can you explain briefly what you mean [17:25] SealedWithAKiss: this can be done within the wizard [17:25] [17:25] SDB is my Linux drive. [17:25] gf45, > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=213731 [17:26] Note, that I CAN get to grub. It just attempts to boot Ubuntu....I see the keyboard light up (installing drivers I imagine)...and then just endless drive light. [17:26] ikonia: The overclocked speed which is set in the bios doesn't show in Ubuntu, not in the System Monitor or cpuinfo. I have run encoding and the cpuinfo only ever shows the cpu running at the stock speed. [17:26] cage_raphel, look at your keyboard it should have a Fn (Function) button [17:26] Oogypoogy, as I can see...can you get the SMART data because it sounds like it might be failing...especially if it's slowing Windows down as well [17:26] kvarley: as long as the bios shows it, that's the speed it's running at [17:27] ikonia: How come Ubuntu and Windows don't show the overclocked speed? [17:27] can you get access to the files themselves from the pen drive or Windows? [17:27] @OY1R: thx, but this thread does not offer a solution to the problem [17:27] How do I get the SMART data? I know Ubuntu's disk utility has that function, but in Puppy? [17:27] cage_raphel, what's the make/model of your laptop [17:27] kvarley: because they don't know about it [17:27] ikonia: Surely cpuinfo should show the speed it's running at though? [17:27] ikonia, can you give me information that's more specific in describing the process of shrinking the Windows partition? [17:27] Oogypoogy: ask in #puppylinux [17:27] ikonia: ok [17:27] SealedWithAKiss: the install gui in manual mode is quite intiuitive [17:28] kvarley: no, not always [17:28] ikonia: Ah ok, well I'll look into it some more but thank you for the information :) [17:28] Oogypoogy, yeah...I'm not quite sure, feel free to PM me when you have the SMART data though [17:29] ikonia, well I'm using the GUI installer and have selected the manual option. Will I need to create a brand new partition table? [17:29] SealedWithAKiss: no, you will need to update it once the resize has been completed, but the tool will do that for you [17:32] using a bluetooth headset in a guest session -> any idea? [17:32] OY1R, its compaq presario [17:32] ikonia, this wont be the first time I've wiped a Windows installation attempting to dual-boot alongside Linux.

[18:08] mang0 I'm not sure then. I know it's like a notification area, but I'm not sure how to move it. It was easy in older editions, but I'm not sure now though. [18:08] I just need to nuke the data. Not the physical laptop, guys. :P [18:08] I figured it'd be fun to do an rm -rf and watch the system slowly crumble. [18:08] Roasted, the thorough way is to boot from something else and overwrite the entire hard drive. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb", or similar. [18:08] masterchief: Shame :< [18:08] but I wanted to make sure I was doing it in the right place. I would assume / would be fine?

[18:09] B0g4r7, my idea for kicks, and your idea for pure sterilization. [18:09] You can use /dev/urandom to make it a bit more interesing. [18:09] thankx [18:09] B0g4r7, during my idea or your idea? [18:09] B0g4r7: that's it [18:09] dd if=/dev/urandom? [18:09] As an input for dd, instead of /dev/zero. [18:09] yeah. [18:09] so does anybody know why my downloads start fast and then slow down to (nearly) zero (Ubuntu 10.04.3)? [18:10] whats the difference from urandom and zero? [18:10] bye [18:10] urandom is pseudo-random values. zero is, well, always zero. [18:10] Roasted: take a wild guess from the names :D [18:10] mang0 have you asked the forums yet? [18:10] jrib, well, I figured it would be random data vs 0'ing out the drive. But I wasn't seeing how that would make it more interesting? [18:10] mang0 they can pretty help you out of anything and everything. [18:10] masterchief no, I though I'd come here first, as I had irc open. Then google, then forums :P [18:10] eXpl0it3r: I'd guess that's a question to ask your ISP [18:11] mang0 good priority list lol [18:11] If you're ultra-paranoid about someone trying to recover the data, writing random data will make it harder than writing all zeros. [18:11] Roasted: ask whoever said it would be more interesting I suppose [18:11] eXpl0it3r: Some ISPs (suchs as Comcast) have speed boosts for the first "x" amount of data, then it slows back down.

[18:18] bil21al, you can download the kernel source code from kernel.org. [18:18] B0g1r7 nope doesn't work, links are kinda dead [18:18] or were a few hours ago [18:19] mang0 Mm... I'm not sure. I heard it from a friend that 10.04 is better. So... that's what I'm going to stick with. [18:19] eXpl0it3r, the MTU adjustment didn't help, you're saying? [18:19] 10.04 is an LTS, 12.04 will be the next LTS [18:19] B0g4r7 no kernel.org links are dead [18:19] * OY1R always goes for LTS [18:19] wat? That's kinda rare... [18:20] can't even reach the site, do you? [18:20] Oh my, yeah, DNS isn't even resolving it. [18:20] I'd better start panicing. [18:20] masterchief: How better?! imo 11.04 is nice :3. Also, you have the option for the new unity gui, or the old gnome gui. I use gnome cuz I don't like the unity one, but hey :) [18:20] hacked again? xD [18:21] Alright, some weird things are suddenly happening with my system. First off, whenever my system goes into power save mode (after the screensaver shuts off and the monitor goes blank) I cannot resume. (Ubuntu 10.10, 4GB of RAM, 2GB of swap, the session doesn't exceed the swap when this happens, grepping for my video card I get "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)]") === burner_ is now known as burner [18:22] Starminn, have a look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-suspend-and-hibernation-problem-for-laptops.html [18:22] Afternoon [18:23] okay adjusting MUT didn't help... any other ideas? -.- [18:23] Hm, what's the "super" key? [18:23] OY1R: It's a desktop. [18:23] mang0: The "Windows KEy" [18:23] Starminn: thought so, wasn't sure. Thanks :) [18:23] might be useful nevertheless [18:24] is there any financial software that runs in a terminal window (like the stores use these days) available? [18:24] Quick question... I'm moving to a new machine. I had a drive with Windows 7 and I installed a second drive that already had Ubuntu 10.04 on it. I did the install of 11.04, told it to wipe out the existing ubuntu and do a fresh install. [18:24] lotus 123 [18:24] It appears to have gone correctly, except now I get an error 15 from grub [18:24] Hey [18:25] I have a dictionary in PDF format that I would like to convert to the old classic fortune program, so that, each time I log in a dictionary entry pops up [18:25] If I set the Windows drive as the boot device, it comes up fine. But, not when I set the boot drive to the new Ubuntu install. [18:25] I saw Backtrack 4.0 running in a console window in Ubuntu on a Hak5 video... how would I do that myself? [18:25] hi, is there a way i can mnt and install from an iso without a flashdrive or cd/dvd? [18:25] The PDF is in text, so it won't need to be OCRd [18:25] hello [18:25] was that to me OY1R ? [18:25] b0g4r7: kernel.org google search opps google chrome cant founf it [18:25] now [18:25] ?? [18:25] it didn't boot :< === Nakkel_ is now known as Nakkel [18:26] teddyroosebelt, well i just remember lotus 123 was a huge hit back in the days for financial stuff it ran on c64 and lots more :P [18:26] bil21al which OS are you on? [18:27] OY1R, oh great, ty ill check it out [18:27] I used UNetbootin and it didn't boot to get rid of all of the stuff do I just delete it? [18:27] ubuntu eXpl0it3r: [18:27] teddyroosebelt, it is OLD, like 70's [18:27] which ubuntu? [18:28] teddyroosebelt, it's a spread sheet program kinda like excel [18:28] OY1R: its a start :] i just need it for personal financial basically. [18:28] teddyroosebelt, why not openoffice or libra office ? [18:28] when installing ubuntu to an usb drive which mount point should i choose? and which device for boot loader installation? [18:29] OY1R, id rather it be terminal based. I like the look and feel of such stuff. i know home depot uses genesisX but couldnt find the software [18:30] angelicaldumb: mount point is /dev/sdb or whatever is the one for your usb device. the bootloader also goes to that same /dev/sdb. [18:30] angelicaldumb: the bootloader will go on the usb, you will need a partition for / and one for swap [18:30] angelicaldumb: sorry,mount point is / [18:30] bil21al, kernel.org seems to be having some problems today. Try again later or tomorrow. [18:31] ok [18:31] rigved: /dev/sdb is a block device, not a mount point [18:31] teddyroosebelt, have a look at > http://cafeninja.blogspot.com/2010/06/sc-command-line-spreadsheet.html [18:31] ActionParsnip , thanks let s see if i can handle it [18:31] ;) nice save [18:32] ActionParsnip: yes, i corrected myself earlier. mount point is / [18:32] Hi [18:32] angelicaldumb: SWAP is unnecessary unless you have less than 1280MB of RAM and/or use things like hibernation. [18:32] Is the /var/log directory protected and inly reacheable from root? [18:32] rigved: hence 'nice save' [18:32] ActionParsnip: :) [18:33] Shogoot: it should be readable by users afair [18:33] I have a win7 computer which was working fine a few days ago but is now unable to startup (doesn't even get to the win7 loading screen). I thought maybe it's a hard disk problem and so wanted to check the hard disk. I have a ubuntu liveCD so thought it would be good to try and check the disk from here. How would I do that once I've booted into the liveCD? Thanks for any help [18:34] Shogoot: No. You don't need root permissions to read the contents. [18:34] OY1R, looks nice.. thanks [18:34] ActionParsnip, ok. im connected to a remote server, i guess the admin has it locked down [18:34] fadax, boot it, and open the disk utility [18:34] fadax: there is a handy program called "badblocks" for doing this. [18:34] I ran boot-repair with the default option,but it appears it made Windows 7 very unhappy. LOL [18:34] Does anyone know how to make it such that external NTFS drives are automatically mounted with the 'noexec' option? I'm sick and tired of 'ls' always showing every file as green because it thinks that everything on the disk is executable [18:35] fadax: id start with a memtest which is available at the earliest stages of cd boot [18:35] anyone know why my printer wont print fonts e,č,š ? [18:36] ok I'll try running badblocks. will it still work fine since my hard disk is in NTFS format which is different to ubuntu's disk format? ActionParsnip well I already ran memtest for a while, and it didn't find any problems with the RAM [18:36] kahen: you can add a udev rule, or add an entry for the partition in /etc/fstab with the options you want. There may be other fixes, those are 2i can think of [18:37] fadax, all badblocks does is check for media defects on the device being tested. It won't care what is on the device. [18:37] ok thanks,I'll try and run that then [18:38] by the way, does liveCD use the hard disk at all? [18:38] fadax, you'll basically want to boot, determind the name of the device to test (usually /dev/sda or maybe /dev/sdb), and run 'badblocks -vv /dev/sda', substituting the correct device name if it differs. [18:38] hi, if i drag&drop a desktop icon to the unity launcher there is no icon and "label empty". how to fix this? [18:39] A livecd should not touch the hard drive unless you ask it to. [18:39] Written is it one from dash? [18:39] B0g4r7 ok I see, thanks [18:39] Written: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [18:40] Accidus2, it's the Terminal (gnome-terminal) app. output from lsb_release -sc -> natty [18:40] ActionParsnip, , it's the Terminal (gnome-terminal) app. output from lsb_release -sc -> natty [18:41] Written: where are you dragging the icon from? [18:41] Has anyone here setup thinkfan on a Thinkpad T420? [18:41] ActionParsnip, from the desktop [18:42] hmm actually I can't seem to boot from the liveCD. It booted to the Welcome menu and then I clicked "Try Ubuntu" but it hasn't moved for over 5 minutes. (just stuck on the busy cursor) [18:42] Written: did you make it yourself? [18:42] does that indicate a hardware problem? [18:42] ActionParsnip, positiv [18:43] Written: what if you drag from dash? [18:43] Is there a gui top search for wireless networks in the area? just something basic like windows has for connecting to them [18:43] *to [18:44] ActionParsnip, from dash to unity laucher or to desktop? [18:44] What does it mean when Ubuntu desktop shows a tiny blue triangle in the upper left corner of the screen, by the menu? [18:44] triorieel: could use: sudo iwlist scan in terminal if nobody replies [18:45] Written: dash to unity [18:45] ActionParsnip, nothing happens :( [18:45] ActionParsnip, I have done that already but it doesn't seem to specify encryption type...I was looking for a gui solution possibly by the clock if lucky === llutz_ is now known as llutz [18:46] triorieel: iwlist does show encryption [18:46] ActionParsnip, sry, your right on second look [18:47] Written: drag the icon, press Alt+F2 and run: unity --replace wait for the desktop to settle, does it appear? [18:47] triorieel: coolio ;-) [18:48] ActionParsnip, yes, appears now :) [18:48] hello [18:49] ActionParsnip, is this permanent then? [18:49] Written: yay! [18:49] ActionParsnip, fyi, I just found wifi-radar and it looks like what I want [18:50] Written: should be. It was there, just needed to reload config to show it [18:50] ActionParsnip, okay. one more question. in the unity dash, can i add some command line option to e.g. terminal [18:50] like to add --window --maximize [18:51] * bania ACTIONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiON [18:51] triorieel: cool, I've always used the command, easier to explain in irc text world [18:51] * bania ACTION ACTIONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiONvErSiON [18:51] hello to every one [18:51] can somebody to help me with a problem i have with sound and mouse in ubuntu 11.4 [18:51] B0g4r7 I ran fdisk -l and I have three devices /dev/sda1 2 and 3..

[18:52] in 11.04 how can i get rid of the IM and messaging menus from the top bar [18:53] dev/sda3 has the most blocks [18:55] Pidgin to GoogleTalk gives me this error, any ideas? proxy: Connected to talk.google.com:443. proxy: Connection attempt failed: Connection refused === matrixiumn is now known as roleplay [18:56] what is the bar at the top of the screen even called [18:56] taskbar? panel? [18:56] panel [18:56] RealAndy, Are you behind a firewall or anything? Sure you've got 443 open? [18:57] BarkingFish: i have no firewall, but is there a way to check if 443 is open? === roleplay is now known as matrix [18:58] fadax, you want to check the whole device. Just /dev/sda. sda1, sda2, etc represent partitions on that device. === matrix is now known as marmite [18:58] okay i'd like to remove the IM menu and the mail menu from the panel and i can't find any way to customize the panel at all === marmite is now known as Marmite [18:58] anyone using fluxbox and know an easy way to connect to internet? My settings are correct but im not seeing where to hit "connect" [18:58] not sure, give me a second RealAndy === Marmite is now known as Windows [18:58] sorry [18:58] wait [18:59] RealAndy, you might even need to port forward it through your router, but you can check here - http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ [18:59] it shows your ip address, just type in the port number and hit check, it will tell you if the port is open or not [19:00] B0g4r7 oh right ok I see. I'm running the badblocks test now. by the way I mounted the disk from the livecd and was able to browse my windows 7 files (documents etc). doesn't this mean that the hard disk is probably alright? [19:00] BarkingFish: yeah it says 443 is closed === Guest51333 is now known as LjL-Temp [19:00] do you know how to configure your router? if you have no firewall, maybe the router is blocking it === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest16060 [19:01] some routers, like netgear and linksys, have an internal firewall [19:01] fadax, it means that it's at least partly working. If badblocks doesn't find any errors then you have some other problem, most likely software. [19:03] okay, still having an issue with this. Getting an error when I try to add my printer - error 5012. Tried adding it with HPLIP [19:03] it can find the printer but it's not able to print anything [19:05] ActionParsnip, thanks ;-) [19:06] BarkingFish: yeah i don't know about routers, but AIM, Yahoo and MSN work ok, it's just googletalk [19:06] ok thanks B0g4r7, looks like it's not finding any problems. i'll probably just end up reinstalling windows7 then [19:06] Has anyone here setup thinkfan on a Thinkpad T420? [19:07] mrgt, there is information about this on the launchpad - apparently, the shorthand version of that error, error 12, is that you need to most likely be a member of either the scanner or the lp group in order to get stuff printing. [19:07] mrgt: https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/37002 [19:09] exit [19:09] just to verify this, mrgt - can you open up a terminal, and at the prompt, type groups and hit enter please.

[19:20] zastaph: you are right you need an X environment to copy/paste. You can use redirection >> to copy output to a file. e.g dmesg >>out.txt [19:20] rusty, sure but i mostly need host to guest [19:20] bobweaver: it fAILS IB UBUNTU 11.04 [19:21] reachingperfecti: or easy cyrpt [19:21] bobweaver: it fAILS IN UBUNTU 11.04 [19:21] both [19:21] zastaph: Assuming the host has an X environment, then output into a shared folder then work as normal from the host.

[19:23] reachingperfecti: drops the caps please. [19:23] bobweaver: sorry [19:23] for the caps [19:23] zastaph: Then just open that file in Windows [19:23] rusty, yes.. but i think this process is longer than simply typing the links :) [19:23] bobweaver: can u help me set up truecrypt [19:23] reachingperfecti: YAPET ?

This in on an apache server in the srv/www/site/public_html [19:26] steelraptor, man usermod. See the -g option, it sets the primary group, which is the group that files created are placed under. [19:27] I need help with making ppa I am real confused about making a .deb package [19:27] Also, you can force to use the same group as the directory, by using chmod +s on the directory [19:27] I have ppa set up [19:27] Finally, 33 is a system group, you shouldn't use that. Create a different group for apache and your user to share. [19:27] thank Hyperbyte, so you think its just that the files are dropping down to my users group instead of the www-data group? [19:27] Is there any way to check for errors in downloading packages from your pools please? I've got one failing to download, and it's driving me gaga. I want the sun-java6-jre (6.26-1natty1) and my system keeps giving me the error that it's failing to download. [19:27] all the pgp keys have been signed along with ubuntu code of conduct also ssh [19:28] ok Hyperbyte, imma see if that helps, thanks ^-^ [19:28] I think I made the ppa I just dont know how to make .deb files to up load to ppa [19:28] steelraptor, personally, I'd go with option #2 and #3. Create a new group, put apache + user on it, and set chmod +s on the files directory. [19:29] like how about a kdm file ? [19:29] can i just lurk around for a while :D [19:30] so stuff that is all ready made in my computer how do I make into ubuntu package ? [19:30] Hyperbyte, I like the options, very clean ways to do it, plus its for a production server so its gotta work well, its just it aint my server lol [19:31] bobweaver: thanks a ton i wasted 3 hours trying to make it work :D thnaks thanks thanks [19:31] Any gotchas for using checkinstall on a modern ubuntu installation? === critical is now known as iCritical [19:31] hey [19:31] Is there a way to install Ubuntu 11.04 and 7 x64 side by side with AHCI mode on? My bios doesn't allow me to change the mode, but when I try to install ubuntu alongside 7 x64, it sees the 320gb drive as 320gb of free space [19:31] bobweaver: Google for 'making deb packages'. [19:32] Hyperbyte: I have bro [19:32] The partitions aren't found, and it only gives me the option to format the entire drive, rather than to install side by side. [19:32] I am just confused [19:32] that is all [19:32] reachingperfecti: glad to here that it worked out :) [19:32] :) [19:32] can anyone help me modify my prompt in my .bash_profile [19:32] ? [19:32] bobweaver, I know that's not really an answer, but there do seem to be excellent guides out there. [19:32] iCritical: That probably means that your partition table is invalid. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [19:33] Hyperbyte: you got a real good link for that not launchpads [19:33] bobweaver, perhaps you should follow one, see how far you get... this one, for example: http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/How-to-make-deb-packages/ [19:33] I cannot get Java to work with the Opera browser [19:34] Jordan_U: uhh, i can't at the moment, as I'm on windows :p [19:34] It works fine with Chrome and Firefox but not with Opera [19:34] bobweaver, or this: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ [19:34] but it doesn't matter what way its partitioned [19:34] I mean I try to google inurl:ubuntu intext:making debian package kit [19:34] iCritical: Can you boot from the Ubuntu liveCD then run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output? [19:35] yeah give me a minute [19:35] bobweaver, just type 'making deb packages'. Nothing else. [19:35] bobweaver: Have you considered using checkinstall?

[19:37] bobweaver: It's a system to turn your custom build into a package, so you can remove it and install it elsewhere with ease. Very useful. IT doesn't do everything the official build system does, like dependencies, but for many things it's awesome, and much _MUCH_ easier.

[19:41] Hyperbyte: There is no root password. [19:41] !root | Hyperbyte [19:41] Hyperbyte: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:41] Jordan_U: Oo [19:41] ubuntubeginner31, 'sudo' may also be of interest [19:41] help? [19:41] <_Emil_> I keep gettin "Ssh exchange identification: Connection closed by remote host" when I'm trying to connect to the server. I tried google, but couldn't find a soloution. my hosts.deny/.allow exists but they are empty. [19:42] Jordan_U, my Ubuntu asked me to set a root password during install. Edubuntu actually. Never knew it's not set by default? [19:42] <_Emil_> anyone has any idea on what's causing this or what to google for? [19:42] hello [19:42] hello guys! need help on making a symlink for two different targets in two different directories... [19:43] nathanel: What is your end goal? [19:43] Jordan_U, interesting link, just skimmed over it. Good to know. :) [19:43] making a single link for ibus-anthy.png that directs to both faenza and faenza-dark [19:44] Hyperbyte: I would be very surprised if Edubuntu asked you to create a root password by default. [19:44] i like to to be able to start linux after installing windows [19:44] nathanel: ln -s TARGET NAME [19:44] what can i do [19:44] nathanel: A single symlink cannot have multiple targets. What is your end goal? [19:44] Jordan_U, I think it did. But then again, the machine is an LDAP client. It should have a root password. But I could be remembering wrong. [19:44] i need simultaneous targets.. is that even possible? [19:45] _Emil_: are you using ssh keys? [19:45] nathanel: what do you expect that to do? [19:45] ls [19:45] my flash is pissing me off can you guys help? The videos lag.. sometimes the flash shows up as black.. youtube videos sometimes play but u see black and hear everything.. [19:45] most of the times they crash if im running two windows that both has flash on it.. [19:45] help me pls :( [19:45] _Emil_: Is the ssh server running on the host? [19:45] Thank you all for your help on the command I needed. I used rumpel's suggestion and just opened the directory in root via using the gui. [19:45] <_Emil_> yes [19:45] can anyone help me ? [19:45] <_Emil_> I have friends who can connect to it. [19:45] have the proper embedded link to each theme on theme change for the ibus-anthy indicator [19:46] _Emil_: try re-doing the keys [19:46] yo [19:46] <_Emil_> How do I do that? [19:46] nathanel: you're going to give more details as I am still unsure of what you want to accomplish [19:46] ok [19:46] can I see somethe commands on IRC? [19:47] right [19:47] _Emil_: connect to ssh using the -vv switch [19:47] please? anyone? [19:47] filip, I did not understand your question. Can you rephrase it? [19:48] ibus-anthy has its indicator icon located in /usr/share/ibus/anthy/icons/ibus/anthy.png, since there can only be one ibus-anthy.png, i am trying to link multiple status icons to that same file ( fanza/status/ and faenza-dark/status) [19:48] filip, try /help [19:48] _Emil_: pastebin it [19:49] hello there, i tried to install ubuntu 11.04 using mount point / (or \ , not sure) and sdb to boot loader. right now system passes motherboard logo but get stuck in a flashig cursor screen. in the grub-menu.lst file is only mentioned memtest86+ but no sda (usb device). what can i do?

Please explain your end goal. http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal [19:49] can anyone pls help [19:49] nathanel: yes, but WHY [19:50] i would like anthy to use the faenza status icons for ibus-kbd status when activated or deactivated and keep theme consistency (its a fix) [19:50] ziikutv: What version of Ubuntu do you have? [19:50] <_Emil_> thanks I will look into it. [19:50] Currently I'm using Metacity as my window manager. Is it possible to have transparent window borders using Metacity? [19:50] ziikutv: lsb_release -sc [19:50] nathanel: this is an ibus-anthy configuration question [19:50] * [DeVil-BoY] greetins [19:50] natty [19:50] no.. a faenza icon theme symlink question [19:51] angelicaldumb, flashing cursor before or after grub-bootmenu? [19:51] Cyrax5: just borders, or window contents as well? [19:51] Just the borders [19:51] rumpel , i guess it is before [19:51] usr13: Natty. [19:51] and an ubuntu one also since i do not know how to symlink multiple file to a same target or single target to multiple files... would that be a 3-way link? [19:52] nathanel: Please read http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal I am still not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but I am fairly sure it can't be done with symlinks alone. [19:52] Cyrax5: surely somehow... but you'd probably have to dig into GTK+ themes to figure it out [19:52] Cyrax5: unless just using a translucent PNG works [19:52] ok [19:52] nathanel: I'm confused. Are you trying to point 2 symlinks at the same file? or point 1 symlink to two files? [19:52] nathanel: this is not possible. Give up on this idea. You need to just ask the actual question regarding ibus-anthy and icons [19:52] alkafoo Where are the pictures for the window borders located? [19:53] 1 symlink to two files [19:53] i want anthy to use faenxza.. not the ugly icon provided [19:53] Cyrax5: in a theme file/dir somewhere [19:53] ziikutv: Which flashplayer plugin did you install? [19:53] Cyrax5: finding out what theme you're using would be the first step [19:53] usr13: how can i findout [19:54] there is a command for it [19:54] I discovered that I had to remove the IceTea plugin, and now Java works in Opera [19:54] Thanks for the help [19:54] nathanel: A symlink is like a shortcut. You can't point it to two files simultaenously. [19:54] ok.. understood [19:54] ziikutv: Go into Synaptic Package manager and search for flashplayer and see what it shows. [19:55] any way to trick the ibus-anthy.png in doing so by some sort of 3-way link? [19:55] Hi people, i'm making a bootable USB stick with LiLo, and it prettymuch already works, there is one thing. I wanna make a 'image=' to chainload the 1st harddrive. Can someone help me? (This is my current .conf file: http://pastebin.com/UrCKJrRu) [19:55] ziikutv: or just install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [19:55] MAREK_BENC_NetB: why lilo... [19:55] 10.3 [19:55] ziikutv: (If it's not already installed) [19:56] nathanel, if all the files are equally linked to the target, how should the application now, which one it should take? [19:56] alkafoo: Because it's Cool? [19:56] have flashplugin-installer and nofree [19:56] nathanel, you have to re-link externally with or script or something [19:56] hello [19:56] is it possible to enable alt-tab from inside games [19:56] MAREK_BENC_NetB: but it isn't [19:56] i feel kinda restricted when it does not work [19:56] nathanel: what does the application currently point to when it comes to icon files? [19:56] nathanel: ok I'm trying to understand better what you are asking: is your issue that you sometimes use the faenza theme and sometimes you use the faenza-dark theme? Furthermore, you want the ibus-anthy icon to be a faenza icon when you have the faenza icon enabled. But if you change your theme to faenza dark, then you want ibus-anthy to have a faenza dark icon? [19:57] ziikutv: Ok well uninstall it and go and find Adobe Flashplayer in the Software Centre [19:57] nathanel: forget my question, jrib asked it better. [19:57] the application, by default uses the icon located at /usr/share/ibus-anthy/icons/ibus-anthy.png [19:57] alkafoo: I shiched from GRUB and now use it as my Main Bootloader. It's a hell better than GURB (For me) [19:57] jrib: exactly [19:57] ziikutv: Once you get it installed, you will have to restart Firefox for the change to take effect. [19:58] nathanel: there are ways to specify within an icon theme if you'd like to prefer an icon over another... let me see if I can find the theme I modified... [19:59] so no clues how to enable alt-tab in ubuntu? [20:00] hello there, i tried to install ubuntu 11.04 using mount point / (or \ , not sure) and sdb to boot loader. right now system passes motherboard logo but get stuck in a flashig cursor screen. in the grub-menu.lst file is only mentioned memtest86+ but no sda (usb device). what can i do?

[20:04] cricket42: not Ubuntu, anyways [20:04] possibly Lubuntu [20:05] cricket42, you could try lubuntu if you wanted [20:05] lubuntu 10.10 or lubuntu 11.4?

I have also tried the same with ./jsonTOCSV.py and I get 'permission denied' === daniel__ is now known as pack3754 [20:46] Matth1a3: is 'bitcoind' in the currently directory (pwd), is jsonTOCSV.py in your path? === ramses_ is now known as ConfusedDesi [20:47] zykotick9 thanks a lot. Unfortunately no N-M. base system text mode. I can ping but cant resolve anything. [20:48] Matth1a3: have you set jsonTOCSV.py as executable? [20:48] bitcoind and jsonTOCSV.py are both in the current directory (in a folder on the desktop) and I have no idea if jsonTOCSV.py is in my path (new to ubuntu/linux) [20:48] Myrtti: not sure, how would I do that? [20:48] Matth1a3: chmod +x jsonTOCSV.py [20:49] ok i really need help with this issue, i don't know if its something i need to do with vista, i have enabled file sharing on vista, and im using right now on this pc ubuntu 11.04, i have a vista laptop, i am able to get to the name of the laptop, and see the folders than can be shared, when i click on a folder it i get this error, Unable to mount location: Failed to mount Windows share [20:49] GhostWolf: check user [20:50] Myrtti: thanks [20:50] alkafoo, what you mean check user? [20:50] i have done everything i should on vista laptop to enable the file sharing [20:50] i even googled on how and i did exactly everything i need to do [20:50] IIRC you need to specify a user name that is present in the Windows installation [20:51] um never had to do that with xp. [20:51] Matth1a3: does it work now then? [20:51] vista is the only time i ever see an issue of connecting even when i used xp to try to connect to vista for file sharing === Nach0z_ is now known as Nach0z [20:51] hey guys. the only way i can get ubuntu running as it should is if i run in failsafe mode. what do? [20:55] josheee12: What's happening? No screens found? [20:55] usr13: it drops straight to shell [20:56] josheee12: What do you have installed? [20:56] i know it's not an issue with x because of failsafe mode [20:56] 11.04 Ubuntu? [20:56] is oneiric in such shape it could be switched to in everyday use? [20:56] yes, 11.04 [20:56] x64 [20:56] josheee12: So it just boots to terminal mode? [20:57] no, it attempts to run gnome, gnome crashes and drops to terminal [20:57] josheee12: Did you run updates? [20:58] i just went through the battle of attempting to get gnome3 working, which didn't work out well, so i switched back to 2. [20:58] did gnome2 run? [20:58] before gnome3? perfectly [20:59] josheee12: Oh, yea, that's what I meant. [20:59] josheee12, packages don't downgrade easily - you may have to reinstall, unless someone has a real fix [20:59] reinstall is probably best bet [21:00] hi all, howto mount a floppy drive from livecd... i need to load a raid driver during install [21:00] zykotick: i have a full gnome2 desktop running fine if i use failsafe. why would that be if i couldn't downgrade? [21:01] josheee12: How about xfce4 ? Wanna try that? [21:01] !tab > josheee12 [21:01] josheee12, please see my private message [21:01] josheee12, i don't have any suggestions for you, hopefully someone else does. Good luck. [21:02] This may be a "stupid" question; but, could I cause any problems by making a backup file and leaving in /etc/? I want to backup /etc/modules (as /etc/modules.bkp) and leave it in /etc. Would this cause any problems? [21:02] zykotick9: thx [21:02] Is there a way to see what versions of a packages are available on a remote apt repo? [21:03] illsci, have you added the repo already? if so, you can use "apt-cache policy foo" to see what versions are available, and from where [21:03] http://dev.zenoss.org/deb/dists/main/stable/binary-i386/ has many versions of zenoss-stack [21:03] and I want to install 3.1.0 [21:03] but its not working... I was doing apt-get install zenoss-stack=3.1.0 [21:04] hmmm... yeah that only shows 3.2.0 but 3.1.0 and all the previous versions are available at that url.... [21:04] Is there a way to get apt to see them and allow me to install that specific version [21:06] illsci, could you just download the version on want and install it with dpkg? [21:06] s/on/you/ [21:06] yeah... I know :) I want apt to do it though [21:06] or to learn how to make it do it [21:07] I was wondering if anyone here knows of a program that can do multiple persistent USB Bootable distros? [21:08] firewall solution for a ubuntu server - what to do ? whats 'easy' ? [21:11] BiKER-JENS: http://www.smoothwall.org/ http://ipcop.org/ [21:12] BiKER-JENS, usr13 FYI smoothwall is a Distro, it doesn't run on Ubuntu === pepo087 is now known as Pompeo [21:13] zykotick9: Yes I know. [21:13] Enter text here...ss [21:14] can totem-video-thumbnailer somehow be setup to only thumbnail files that were modified more than a minute ago? [21:14] I hate looking at a CPU-hogging process that's hopelessly trying to thumbnail a video that I'm encoding or recording :P [21:14] BiKER-JENS: I assume you are interested in firewall for security purposes. Right? [21:14] hi guys. i'm running lucid on a netbook and can't install the fonts. i tried placing them in .fonts and in /usr/share/fonts/truetype and ran fc-cache -f. but when i start firefox, it uses old fonts. even though checking with strace it does open the correct font files. [21:15] usr13, yeah [21:15] is there a setting that overrides the font order? [21:15] Enter text here...nymous [21:16] pepo0872: something we can help you with? [21:16] hi how do you manage security certificates in midori and epiphany browsers. there has been no update to block the certificates. i downloaded the epiphany extenision to manage certificaets but when i click on it nothing happens. do you know how i can manually manage them? [21:16] yes [21:16] i want to bloack the diginotar vertificates [21:16] BiKER-JENS: Then place a good firewall server between it and outside. [21:17] is not a option [21:17] have to have a software firewall on the box [21:17] <[Ex0r]> Is there somebody here who can help me get wpa2 configured on ubuntu cli ? [21:17] to control open ports [21:17] i have this version of grub 1,98 in my ubuntu 10-4 and i can't istall theme for my grub or some wallpaper can u hep me? [21:17] i make the debian theme configuration file [21:17] but it doesn't work =( [21:18] oh im using ubuntu 11.04 === eddymarley is now known as ]-[EDDY]-[ [21:18] BiKER-JENS: On the server itself, the best security feature is to not have unused apps installed. In other words, uninstall any server software that you do not run and use. [21:18] Biker have you tried UFW? === pepo0872 is now known as Pompeo [21:19] BiKER-JENS: You can write your own firewall script. See: http://www.malibyte.net/iptables/scripts/fwscripts.html === pepo087 is now known as Pepsii24 [21:20] can u help me man==??? [21:20] BiKER-JENS: If you have it connected directly to internet, change that first off and place a stand alone firewall between it and the outside. [21:20] That is key [21:20] hey all.. can anyone suggestion a media player that will play local music as well as icecast / shoutcast and other online radio stations [21:20] how do I load a kernel module? [21:21] DaVamps -- use VLC [21:21] mukti, "modprobe foo" [21:21] mukti, modprobe? [21:21] mukti, "lsmod" to confirm it's loaded [21:21] modprobe -r to remove it [21:21] Dragon64, does it work any better on ubuntu then it does in windows? [21:21] mukti: modprobe - program to add and remove modules from the Linux Kernel [21:21] DaVamps: it should work fine on Windows, too [21:21] W3ird_N3rd, that won't always work... [21:21] okay, thanks [21:21] correct [21:21] dont know, never had an issue in windows [21:21] with it [21:21] I'll read the manpage so I know what I'm doing lol [21:21] loading won't always work either zykes- [21:22] * zykotick9 [21:22] but it was originally built for Linux [21:22] alkafoo, i wish it did. it crashes on my win 7 ulti machine [21:22] W3ird_N3rd, true ;) [21:22] lucid has only zarafa 6.4 in its repos :( [21:22] yeah, I have never had a crash in linux [21:22] i'll try it out.. thanks [21:22] Ubuntu 11.04 the thing that we have "gconf-editor" GUI, How can use that same functionality from my terminal when i am connected via SSH? [21:22] <[Ex0r]> Does anyone here have a guide to setting up wpa2 on ubuntu ? (I dont have a gui, so it all has to be done from cli) [21:23] wasnt sure if there was soemthing else as good or better then vlc.. [21:23] is there a way to manage security certificates in epiphany or midori? i can't find any info on this for ubuntu natty. there is info for 10.04 and 10.10. it's weird [21:23] not that vlc is bad, but my win7 issue made me a little worried bout using it in ubuntu [21:24] IamTrying, do you want to set gconf variable from cli? there is "gconftool-2 --set ..." [21:24] Ubuntu 10.04: No sound. ubuntu-bug audio tells me that "PulseAudio seems to have crashed. Do you wish to report a bug?". Alsamixer starts as it should, but no sound. Menu choice System/Preferences/Sound tells me "Waiting for the sound system" then exits... What do I do ? [21:24] should be fine. If you are looking for a media manager, I think rythmbox will do all that also [21:24] zykotick9, oh ic thanks a lot, exactly that i mean. [21:24] toyman61: uninstall pulseaudio [21:24] toyman61, that's poor advice from usr13... [21:24] dragon64 rythmbox has the same functionality as vlc? [21:25] I have tried to uninstall pulseaudio using Ubuntu Software Center, and then reinstall it. Still no sound.. === alexandre is now known as Guest40186 [21:25] It has more, it is more of a manager, rather than just a player, but it does not play as many different file types without help [21:25] toyman61: alsamixer [21:26] Dragon64, will it play aac streams [21:26] alsamixer starts as it should, and seems OK. [21:26] there are many different managers out there, they all have streengths and weakness's [21:26] if you install the proper codecs [21:26] ok [21:26] they are available in some of the gstreamer packages [21:26] it does come prepackaged with it [21:26] Unbalanced action groups, expect badness... that's quite re-assuring. [21:26] Uninstall and reinstall alsamixer ? [21:26] DaVamps: not VLC's fault, I assure you [21:26] ubuntu restricted extras should have most of the codecs you need [21:26] alkafoo, i'm pretty sure its not either .. [21:26] toyman61: NO, run alsamixer and see that nothing is muted or turned down etc. [21:27] does anyone have a rtl8188ce wireless card? [21:27] Dragon64, so use the package manager to find the proper codecs? [21:27] toyman61: and see that the correct sound card driver is loaded. etc. [21:27] yes, in fact depending on which ones you need rythmbox should prompt you [21:27] DaVamps: VLC should come with all you'll want [21:28] tab1293: what if anyone has? [21:28] both are good, depends what your needs are [21:28] alkafoo, awesome.. i installed vlc thru package manager. [21:28] tab1293: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604101&page=5 [21:28] truly basic audio enjoyment, and radio station monitoring. [21:28] alkafoo, i need help finding the correct driver for the the 3.0 kernel [21:29] tab1293: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [21:29] i run my own shoutcast radio. and relay it to a icecast on my local network. so it will be used to verify everything is running properly [21:29] try both, see which one works best for you. Linux - Choice [21:29] dragon64 much agreed, and FREE choices at that [21:30] dragon64 do you happen to have a program for havin ubuntu run as my handyman lol [21:30] lol [21:30] As far as I can see all drivers are loaded and the correct soundcard has been chosen. How can I quickly verify this ? [21:30] to do dish, laundry, rolling my smokes, [21:30] Hi guys, I have big trouble with ubuntu. I get fatal error and then after reboot, there is problem with .ICEauthority which can't be fix by chmod, there is also "usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 has quit with state 256" error and I can't get it work. I google some answer, bat still nothing usefull [21:30] give it a year or two ;) [21:31] ya. who knows they might be able to actually get it to run humanized bots [21:31] Pookyl can you boot to a command line and rename .ICEauthority ? [21:31] toyman61: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [21:31] Ctrl-c to stop it [21:31] Dragon64 i try it === Noob`s is now known as McPeter === marc is now known as Guest78206 [21:33] done, i try reboot [21:33] : cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp -> Status: bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy [21:33] oh Dragon64 one more question. do you know of a package for audio streaming that works like Sam Broadcaster?

[21:49] Dragon64, thanks for the site, do you suggest using IPv6, or is it more so a dead fish until its used globally? === Huezito is now known as RadicalShop [21:50] hi, how do i add a directory to the include directory? [21:50] Hi ? [21:50] Ubuntu Natty, E17 Shell, can't get wifi working (Works in all other shells). I have searched google but I am no finding anything that helps :( [21:50] DaVamps -- Exactly. Ubuntu should use ip6 quite nicely, but nobody uses it really. Still not sure now [21:50] ?time [21:50] i'm trying to compile source code [21:50] DaVamps, more than likely your ISP doesn't support ipv6 for you, but thats the first place to check === DaVamps is now known as Vamps-Ubuntu [21:50] export? [21:50] If you want to make it available great, but don't expect much use of it [21:51] Dragon64: how can I logout from gnome session using console?

[21:51] Pookyl try killing the gdm process [21:51] ~jono@99-41-167-234.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net [21:51] hack27, you don't have a window manager running. you need to start metacity or fvwm or whatever wm you want to use [21:52] newerthhero, it takes a person knowing and willing to help. [21:52] metacity? [21:52] hack27, can you move it if you press the alt key. [21:52] Pooky1, gnome-session-quit should work. or killall gnome-session or service gdm restart [21:52] hack27, those are desktop manager that give you a GUI [21:52] Where do you put the xorg.conf file settings? like want to include dpms false e.g: https://gist.github.com/1204864 [21:52] * thomasj73 hates being a noob [21:52] noo [21:53] is like stuck on the ubuntu bar [21:53] Dragon64: well i login in another account and it is the same and also mouse stop working.. [21:53] i cant see the x button [21:53] IamTrying, first you have to generate an xorg.conf usually by running Xorg -configure and then copying the file from /root to /etc/X11 [21:53] hack27, does any other app ?work [21:53] hack27, were you playing around with Compizconfig? [21:54] escott, ic, thank you [21:54] Do I reload a kernel module with modprobe? [21:54] yea [21:54] Is there a way to do, erm, like, ifconfig wlan0 -auto? or something like that? [21:54] mukti, rmmod modules name; lsmod make sure it isn't loaded, modprobe module_name [21:55] IamTrying, i believe the command you need is "X -configure" and Xorg needs to be stopped before you run that "sudo service gdm stop" would stop GDM [21:55] escott [21:55] hack27, you probably want to undo whatever the last change you made in ccsm, or nuke your compiz settings. something you did is incompatible with unity [21:55] escott: thanks [21:55] hack27, do you have htop installed [21:55] pOOKYL-- OK then this is a system wide issue, not limited to local account [21:55] not sure where to look next for this one [21:56] i have compiz but i didnt enable nuttin [21:56] escott, compizconfig is EVIL! nuked my Unity second day, haven't been able to use it since [21:56] i dont have htop [21:56] hello all [21:56] hack27, unity --reset [21:56] Pookyl -- You still havent told me what changed. Did this ever work before? [21:56] zykotick9, ok thanks a lot [21:57] have ubuntu on virtual box and am having real problems printing anything! I installed HPLIP and it was able to find the printer but I can't get it fo print anything. Get the error 2015 - anyone able to help? [21:57] unity --reset [21:57] how do i do this then? [21:57] where in the terminaL? [21:57] * 5012 [21:57] Dragon64: everythink works fine before, there was crash when i play Warcraft 3 on wine [21:57] newerthhero: Are you compiling somebody else's code that just requires libraries you don't have? [21:57] mrgt, usb support in virtual box is only available with the paid version [21:57] hack27, yeah [21:57] Synaptic typically takes care of that. [21:57] i have both the code and the libraries [21:57] but the code doesnt see the .h files [21:57] It's a wireless printer though? [21:57] Dragon64: it crash with fatal error and i must force reboot it [21:57] Did you get the libraries with apt-get or Synaptic? [21:58] when i copied them to the exact folder the code is it still doesnt see them [21:58] no, just copied manually [21:58] escott, incorrect! VBox 4+ has USB support, and they've merged the OSE/PUEL versions with 4 as well. [21:58] the files didnt get copied though [21:58] only stupid link files [21:58] escott: usb is available with the free edition [21:58] it said that [21:58] i'm a windows long time user [21:59] newerthhero: I would suggest downloading the library with apt-get or Synaptic package manager, because it automatically sets that stuff up. [21:59] i know in windows you only add the include directory [21:59] yea i tried that but couldnt find it [21:59] zykotick9, ok. thanks didn't know that [21:59] What's the library called? [21:59] Hi [21:59] is there a file where all the locations listed? [21:59] gelp [21:59] its several files [21:59] Pookyl -- what lead up to the crash? What were you doing?

[21:59] zykotick9, any chance u can pm me? [22:00] Is there any real good reason to upgrade to latest distro from 10.04 LTS Desktop edition? [22:00] It's not in Ubuntu by default [22:00] no [22:00] syrinx_priest, ntop and many others [22:00] mrgt, this version has usb, it's free, the not freee is a misnomer. [22:00] no reason [22:00] i know [22:00] fyi i hate new interface [22:00] thats why [22:00] cant i just add that folder to the path? [22:00] i ignor unity [22:00] mrgt, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [22:00] Dragon64: i minimalize the game...bat it crash meaby 3 times before, i don't pay atention to it [22:00] im on ubuntu 10.10 [22:00] escott: ntop, that was it... much obliged! [22:00] and im not upgrading to 11.04 [22:00] or 11.10 [22:00] Hello, what determins the initrm built in /boot? I have a handful of un-installed kernel versions taking up precious space. [22:00] nuttin i remove compiz [22:01] sir_tyrion: in a few months, the new LTS appears [22:01] Coolio, sticking with 10.04 [22:01] menu doesn;t show on the application like ubuntu software center [22:01] newerthhero: The whole SDK has it's own /include directory and compiler, right? [22:01] how do i add that folder to the inculde? [22:01] yes [22:01] maybe its a problem with your video [22:01] export? [22:02] no clue on that one really -- sorry [22:02] cheako, there is an initrd for each kernel listed in /boot. you can use dpkg to remove specific kernels and initrds that are not needed [22:02] newerthhero: -I [22:02] ??? [22:02] what? [22:02] !tab | newerthhero [22:02] escott: The kernels are removed, but the initrds are recreated any way. [22:02] Dragon64: i think this too, bat can't find nothing about it. Now it just look, like there was off the "controls" of gui in ubuntu [22:02] !tab | [22:02] what is that? [22:03] newerthhero, tab the nics please. :D [22:03] Dragon64: there works apps, keyshortcut alt+tab etc bat no visible sidebars of unity [22:03] Dragon64: there is also no option in login screen, there is just "Default " and "recovery console" [22:03] zykotick9, I ran this, just to make my concept clear bit confused said failed, did it really worked? So my file should be /home/sun/xorg.conf.new for use case? e.g: https://gist.github.com/1204864 [22:04] anyone know a little somthin about ssh tunneling [22:04] cheako, im not following. when are they being recreated [22:04] i dont get it [22:04] im wasting my time [22:04] newerthhero, tyoe a few letters of the nic of who your talking to hit tab to auto complete it comes up red for them and we know who your talking to. [22:04] ok [22:04] i dont remember who was helping [22:05] :D [22:05] i just need to add a folder to the include path [22:05] escott: During kernel instalation or whenever kernels are built. [22:05] that way the code will see the .h files [22:05] err, initrd. [22:05] !anyone | beached [22:05] IamTrying, "Configuration failed" doesn't sound good! Sorry I've never seen that fail before, not sure what to recommend. [22:05] newerthhero: Alt+F2, type in "gksudo nautilus" [22:06] zykotick9, no worries thanks a lot. [22:06] ironchew: ok, and? [22:06] You'll have to enter an administrator's password, and then you can add folders anywhere. [22:06] beached, ask your question... [22:06] i tried that [22:06] when i copy the files [22:07] the files arent copie [22:07] copied [22:07] ironchew: no files copy [22:07] cheako, when you dpkg -l "*linux*" are the old kernels listed [22:07] ironchew: only some broken files [22:07] how would i allow someone to tunnel their traffic through my comp remotely [22:07] newerthhero: An error box pops up that says the transfer wasn't successful, or something like that? [22:07] escott: No. [22:07] no, files copy [22:07] without error [22:08] escott: Thus I'm asking where is this list generated from? [22:08] cheako, and if you remember the initrd from /boot it later gets recreated? [22:08] but it's like 1kb files [22:08] ironchew: 1kb files [22:08] cheako, s/remember/remove [22:08] escott: Correct. [22:08] ironchew : cant i just add the folder to a path? [22:08] newerthhero: Oh, you mean for executing a program without navigating to that path? [22:09] newerthhero: You can edit the $PATH variable in Bash. [22:09] ironchew: kinda, you know the output when typing export on terminal? [22:09] escott: In other words "update-initrd -k all -c" will create initrd for images no-longer installed. [22:09] Hello guys. I want to buy a commercially available Antivirus+Firewall for Ubuntu .. Any suggestions? [22:09] ironchew: yeah, how do i add that include directory in $path? [22:09] escott: and the drive(small boot partition) fills up. [22:10] n00buntuNL, you can get avast, and bitdefender for free. [22:10] newerthhero: path=$path+"[NEWDIR]" [22:10] iptables and avg [22:10] ok [22:10] escott: It's 100MB. [22:10] newerthhero: I'm a bit rusty with my bash skills, so that may not work... [22:10] dammit [22:10] n00buntuNL: you know the antiviruses for linuxes are mainly for scanning infected windows files [22:10] cheako, check in /etc/initramfs-tools [22:11] n00buntuNL: so not really useful if you just use ubuntu [22:11] beached, http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html the hard part is not the ssh command itself but making sure they can connect to your system [22:11] urlin & beached & bindi > Which ones do you prefer? (both AV & firew.) --- well i do want one, am a bit paranoid :) [22:11] n00buntuNL: also what do you need a firewall for? everything is closed unless you open something intentionally. if you're behind NAT too, that's a firewall for you [22:11] escott, may I pm you? [22:11] beached, sure [22:12] escott: find and grep turn up zilch for a handful of test strings... 2.6.22 searching just for 22 and then the 2.6 part if too many matches. [22:12] newerthhero: path="$path [NEWDIR];" [22:12] bindi > I'm a noob who tends to open things he doesn't know sh*t about :) [22:12] does anyone have any good tools for laptop battery power management? [22:12] ironchew: without += [22:12] ? [22:12] cheako, /var/lib/initramfs-tools/kernel-version then [22:12] n00buntuNL, I have avast and bitdefender to use on my W7 setup. The paranoia will destroy yah. [22:13] heheh === executionist is now known as Guest99115 [22:13] escott: Yeah, I just found this with strace. [22:13] mukti, powertop [22:13] newerthhero: I just gave an example for appending a string to the PATH variable. I'm sure there's more than one way to do it. [22:13] is there a way to bring a graphical process to the foreground using terminal? [22:13] escott, you have to purge the configurations as well ubuntu-tweak can do this [22:13] There they are. [22:13] escott, will I be able to manage power settings with that, or does it only allow me to view what is using the battery? [22:13] wohooo [22:13] i MADE PROGRESSS [22:14] Text files contaning a long hex string(likely an md5) and an initrd name. [22:14] thanks for the suggestions guys [22:14] mukti, i guess im not sure what you mean by manage power settings. powertop will suggest things you can do to reduce power usage and can automatically apply them [22:14] escott, okay [22:15] anyone know how to use export? [22:15] didnt work [22:15] saludos [22:15] that path=$path [22:16] escott: Yay! Removing these files worked. [22:16] I installed ubuntu along side win7 on this pc, after the installation reboot the pc boots directly into win7 any ideas? [22:16] Hello people, i would like to have some help connecting my xubuntu with a new digital camera [22:16] I have just bought a digital camera (Sony DSC-W550) but no support for it, the cd that camed with the camera is for windows and cant find any usefull help on the web [22:17] Executionist did you installed linux on a second hard drive ? [22:17] yep, attached a spare one [22:17] could be the bios, you need to change the startup boot disk on it === McPeter is now known as Noob`s [22:17] newerthhero: export path="$path [NEWDIR];" [22:18] just have to reset your pc, and change the settings of it [22:18] wont ubuntu rewrite the mbr of the win7? [22:18] regardless of which partition i install it on? [22:19] executionist, not necessarily. it will set the mbr of the disk what has the /boot partition, but if that is boot disk 2 then it wont be loaded [22:19] i guess it does, but i never tryed win7 with ubuntu [22:19] Guest40186, i'm assuming that plugging it in doesn't show as a drive? AND http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php doesn't show your model. Good luck. [22:19] uit [22:19] quit [22:19] ironchew: do i need to reboot? [22:19] k, lemme see what the first boot option in bios [22:19] ty [22:20] newerthhero: No, a reboot isn't needed. [22:20] humm...

Hope i dont have to install win once again... [22:23] humm... [22:23] Guest40186, or invest in a card reader that supports Sony's cards [22:24] i was thinking on that :) (SD Cards) , thanks very much for all the tips Zykotick9 [22:24] Guest40186 -- when you plug in the camera to the pc do you see any mention of it if you type dmeg at the command line? [22:24] sorry thats dmesg [22:24] Guest40186, wow you have a Sony that uses SD cards. That surprising, but makes thing a bit easier. [22:25] where can i download ubuntu drivers for amd gpu?

[22:46] pooky, you want a clone or home saved with your stuff? [22:46] berefeira, why would you need to use hdparm to do that? wouldn't you just repartition? [22:47] soybean, have you tried in #freecad [22:47] I think clone [22:47] escott: from what I understand there is degradation, you can clear the blocks to get all space/speed back [22:47] Pooky1, I use clonezilla [22:48] clonezilla is super easy to use [22:48] Anyone good with FreeCad? Can't change units, the dialog for it is grey'd out. wtf?? [22:48] Pooky1, http://clonezilla.org/ [22:48] well it just clone disk? [22:48] pooky!disc or partitions [22:48] Pooky1, disc or partitions [22:49] well i hope for somethink, which some my settings and be able to return them to new install [22:49] berefeira, ie this device doesnt support TRIM. i'm sure you can do something with hdparm on certain devices to mark all blocks as unused, but I don't know what it would be. alternately you could write 0s to every sector of the disk and accomplish the same thing [22:50] is there a repertory of possible fixes for the 'BusyBox' 'error' ? [22:50] Pooky1, clonezila is just a snap shot, you can use others to list the installed apps for reinstall. [22:50] antid, what busybox error [22:51] escott: thats it, to make it look like unused blocks, writing zeros is the first part of that, then you can hdparm to unused blocks [22:52] when I try to install ubuntu, after the loading splash screen i get to a "BusyBox" and "(initramfs)" [22:52] I found a 41-pages long thread about it on ubuntuforums. seems to have started at 8.04 [22:52] ok thnaks for help guys [22:52] help; my ubuntu t420 my microphone doesnt seem to be working. running ubuntu 11.04 [22:53] i wille somehow sole it [22:53] or just broke this computer with hammer..

[22:55] why did ubuntu change to unity in 11.04? [22:55] Pooky1, NO - just your installed package list [22:55] and wayon is it called? [22:55] because unity will be the new lay out for ubuntu [22:55] newerthhero, yes, but therre is the classic desktop as well [22:55] really [22:55] Pooky1, backup your Home directory and any files you may have changed in /etc [22:55] Does the old desktop use X? [22:56] any disadvantages ? i've been reading people saying they dont like the new 11.04 [22:56] ubuntu classsis is just as it states.. the classic look of ubuntu [22:56] newerthhero, yhey all do choose classic at the login, after choosing the user name [22:56] newerthhero, wayland is not in ANY system yet. its a few years out at best [22:56] zykotick9: nothing else?

[22:57] the progression of classic to unity is much like that of win 95/98 to XP [22:57] unity replaces Xorg, right? [22:57] no [22:57] zykotick9: thanks i still try fix it, bat totaly will make backup this importent files... [22:57] !unity [22:57] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04.

[23:02] zykotick9: urlin2u: I managed to download the .torrent files from another machine. The one I'm currently using gives me an "Object not found" page [23:02] hi, somebody can help me to fix a wifi driver on ubuntu 11.04 [23:02] ? [23:03] angelicaldumb, at powering on tap the space key, at the gui tap f6 choose nomodeset and boot in. [23:03] Zi-: what is the model of the wifi card or do you know what chip it's using?

[23:04] urlin2u , i ll try , thanks [23:04] (integrated graphic card) [23:04] antid, and no message as to why it drops you to busybox? [23:05] zykotick9: on zf chanel is meaby 200 user max, and there is very intesive chat [23:05] no, it just does. like the majority of posts on that forum thread [23:05] Pooky1, zf? what's that? [23:05] but i had to boot with "noapic" for it to get anywhere [23:05] zykotick9: zend framework [23:06] antid, do you know how to manually mount a partition or fsck a partition? [23:07] urlin2u: http://i.imgur.com/LQAni.png [23:07] i know that the ubuntu live cd provides some sort of partition manager, but idk what you mean by manually or fsck [23:08] keyboardtalk, use a actual torrent like deluge, and get the links from the page I posted. [23:09] antid, when you are in the initrd you should check the output of "mount" and see if the the / partition is mounted, and if it is mounted rw or ro. if it is mounted ro you can fsck the partition by "fsck /dev/sda#" and finally try to mount -o remount,rw that partition [23:09] urlin2u: That is a link from the page you posted. [23:09] keyboardtalk, MS obviously doesn't want you to get Ubuntu torrents ;) [23:09] zykotick9: apparently [23:09] antid, that would be one common reason you get dropped into initrd is if the root partition cannot be mounted or cannot be mounted rw [23:10] antid, if the problem is some kind of kernel oops (which is suggested by your need to use noapic) you could try other options like nomodeset [23:11] keyboardtalk, down load the torrent link install a actual torrent app like deluge, something is breaking in yoiur approach the torrents work. [23:11] escott, i tried messing with some commands when i get to busybox but it either does nothing or tells me that it has no root to this or that directory (as i don't have it installed...?)

[23:12] antid, the initrd is a very simple, and very limited memory only filesystem that gets replaced once your real hard drive is loaded and initialized. if that harddrive cant be accessed you get stuck. so thinks like "bios raid" or a weird sata driver, or a corrupt filesystem etc [23:13] antid, s/thinks/things.... will get you stuck in initrd [23:13] UnknownEdition, English?

Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [23:24] okay :( thanks [23:27] Now i've w7, so can i have it and ubuntu, and decide what os to use?

Tried searching the forums, but all I found was this outdated information: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1160118 at least I don't know where to click.. ^^ [23:35] zykotick9: Thanks a lot :) [23:35] avid_user, glad to help [23:36] Younder, and are you a member of plugdev === mrnotproper__ is now known as mrnotproper === scott_ is now known as Guest8019 [23:37] ichbinder, ubuntu-tweak can disable these I think [23:38] robin0800_: you mean ltsp-manager? that's all synaptic finds for ubuntu-tweak [23:39] ichbinder, ubuntu-tweak is unsupported, and NOT in the default repo [23:39] zykotick9: ah, okay... [23:39] zykotick9, robin0800_: there is no simple way to disable this? I mean, not even using bash + sudo? :D [23:39] I just can't find anything on that topic... :-/ [23:40] ichbinder, sorry, I don't know a way. Good luck. [23:40] and it seems like it was easily accessable before... [23:40] zykotick9: thanks! [23:40] ichbinder, ubuntu-tweak no as its unsuported you will have to google for it [23:41] robin0800_: hm, kay... will check it out but don't really want to install unsupported stuff just to disable that prompt. ^^ But thanks! :) [23:41] Hey guys [23:41] I'm running into a DNS problem [23:41] thanks...

[23:42] Hello, I'm looking for some help on getting madwifi-ng drivers installed [23:42] I bought a domain name, have DNS hosting and I'm trying to forward my domain to my ip [23:42] for this, i set up an A record, correct? === Guest36889 is now known as LjL-Temp [23:42] now, this is awkward, can anybody tell me if is there any command to list how many files and directories there are within a directory [23:42] hello [23:42] girl on the chanel ? :) [23:43] hello, i've tried ls -la but i dont want to list them all, just list the number of them === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest17372 [23:43] HaikuUser: this is a support channel not a dating site. [23:43] zromayn: wc -l [23:43] zromayn: you might need to make up a little script to handle the task exactly how you want. [23:43] zromayn: ls | wc :) perhaps for a starting point. [23:44] I thought ls gave a count.. at the end [23:45] exutux: let me try that [23:45] dr_willis: i'll keep that in mind [23:45] zromayn: ls | wc -l [23:45] ah, I think I got it... had to go into openGL and disable vsync [23:45] find (options) [23:45] find (options) | wc -l :) [23:45] Can anyone help me with getting wadwifi-ng installed? [23:47] Nobody can help? [23:47] if any one could they would have said so [23:47] never used madwifi - so no idea on anything about it.. You could give more details as to the issue. [23:47] FluffyMittensOfD, what is the problem with installing it? [23:47] !info madwifi-ng [23:47] Package madwifi-ng does not exist in natty [23:48] BarkingFish, I'm trying to get a persistant ubuntu 11.04 going Trying to get apps like aircrack on it [23:49] zromayn: With hidden it is more tricky, but similar to: n=1; for i in * ; do echo $n $i; let n++; done [23:49] so... you have debs for madwifi-ng? or what exactly? theres most likely some redone ubuntu variants with cracking tools and others allready included. [23:49] Wow, Natty is QUICK with E17 Shell! [23:49] dr_willis, Event not found [23:49] FluffyMittensOfD: !whatever are BOT commands... [23:50] FluffyMittensOfD: or in bash . they are bash history event commands.. they are not bash 'commands' [23:50] dr_willis, sorry, my brain has been wracked with getting it installed [23:50] a quick search of aptitude doesn't reveal that we have madwifi [23:50] ls -1 | wc -l files in a directory or folder all files in the current working directory find . -type f | wc -l [23:50] !info madwifi-ng [23:50] Im running the latest 32 bit version of ubuntu, and the bar that has things like: firefox, folder, ubuntu software center, ect... will not hide when Im not mousing over it. This problem has only been happening today. Before today, when I wasnt mousing over the bar it would automatically hide. Can someone help me? [23:50] Package madwifi-ng does not exist in natty [23:50] I can find aircrack-ng, but not a madwifi package [23:50] * dr_willis dosent even knoow what madwifi-ng is. [23:50] !info madwifi-ng maverick [23:50] BarkingFish, I know, I already tried apt-get [23:50] Package madwifi-ng does not exist in maverick [23:50] dr_willis: they are wifi drivers [23:51] or wny its needed. [23:51] hello all how are you today [23:51] BarkingFish, you aren't going to get much help on injection attacks here [23:51] explains why its not in the default repos. :) [23:51] dr_willis, standard atheros drivers cannot inject [23:51] escott, I'm trying to just install madwifi [23:52] seen some penetration testing/alternative ubuntu vairants with such tools. so theres most likely repos/ppa's with the stuff. [23:52] FluffyMittensOfD, yeah but your reason for installing ng is to run aircrack meaning you want to inject... so please go somewhere else [23:52] escott, I'm not the one who wants the info. If I'm not supposed to be helping with it, I apologise - I'll leave it alone. [23:53] BarkingFish, its ok... and sorry about the confusion. its just better to keep that questionable stuff off the channel if possible [23:53] escott, I'm just trying to get a persistant flash going. Thats all. Where should I go then [23:53] !backtrack | FluffyMittensOfD [23:53] FluffyMittensOfD: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [23:53] I have absolutely no idea what aircrack is, escott - all I was doing was helping to find a relevant package - I had no idea it *was* questionable :) [23:53] FluffyMittensOfD: #madwifi [23:54] I'm running ubuntu 11.04. [23:54] FluffyMittensOfD: if you want a pentration testing disrto. theres several mentioned at -> distrowatch.com [23:54] hey can anyone help with this dns problem? [23:54] FluffyMittensOfD, try backtrack. [23:58] Backtrack is the best distro for penetration testing. Aircrack is a packet sniffer. Both are to be used with caution. If you cant even install them leave it to the experts [23:58] hello all! [23:58] hey, how do I get apt to download the source code? [23:59] how does one check the log on a corrupted hard drive? [23:59] !source | anadon [23:59] anadon: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [23:59] d1kb: if you know how to do it, you don't need to use particular distros [23:59] sam555, you mean recover the ext3/ext4 logfile? with fsck [23:59] rww: thanks!
